AUBURN, Alabama, November 23. NCAA champion Albert Subirats put on a show in the 100 fly to cement his bid to return to the upper echelon of the international rankings with an impressive swim at the Auburn Invitational.
Subirats, who relocated from his native Venezuela to Auburn recently to train with Brett Hawke's postgrad group, posted a 44.97 to win the event handily. To put the swim in perspective, it's just four tenths slower than he swam in 2007 to win the NCAA and set the then-NCAA record as an Arizona Wildcat — which was his only time under 45 seconds until tonight. It's about eight tenths off the U.S. Open record of 44.18, posted by Austin Staab at the 2009 NCAA championships. It's also the 13th-fastest performance in history, giving us now 14 swims in the 100-yard fly under 45 seconds.
On the international stage, Subirats' highest performances were bronze in the 100 fly at the 2007 world championships and fourth in the same event at the 2009 worlds. He was 11th in the 100 fly at the 2008 Olympics and 29th in 2012.
Subirats dealt with the drama surrounding a one-year suspension by FINA in 2011 for not showing up to numerous unannounced drug tests, but the ban was lifted when he argued that it was the fault of the Venezuelan swimming federation, which was in charge of letting FINA know his whereabouts for drug-testing purposes.
The race for second featured another Auburn postgrad, Adam Brown, and three other college swimmers. Brown took second with a 46.17, while Florida State junior Connor Knight was the fastest collegiate swimmer with a 46.58. He just missed the Seminole team record of 46.23 set back in 2009, but is a lifetime best by about five tenths. Rounding out the sub-47 second swimmers of the day were Auburn's Arthur Mendes (46.70) and Florida State's Pavel Sankovich (46.79).
Georgia freshman Olivia Smoliga nearly posted a lifetime best in the 100 back almost a year after breaking the national high school record in the event with a 51.43. Today, she went under 52 seconds twice with a 51.95 in prelims and 51.97 in finals. Smoliga's prelims swim was the first time anyone in the collegiate ranks had broken 52 seconds this season, though Virginia's Courtney Bartholomew has now leapfrogged past that into 50-second territory with a big swim earlier today. Smoliga might not have been on a full rest for this meet as she's prepping for the Duel in the Pool in about a month. Auburn's Emily Bos and Aubrey Peacock were second and third, with Bos posting a 52.55 and Peacock getting third with a 53.20.
Melanie Margalis was one of the toughest swimmers of the day, in any part of the country. She had a strong prelims session with times of 4:06.24 in the 400 IM and 59.30 in the 100 breast. She returned in finals to win both, posting a 4:01.70 in the 400 IM and 59.15 in the 100 breast. Margalis did not swim the 100 breast in the NCAAs last season, though a time of that nature would have put her third behind Breeja Larson and Kasey Carlson. As for the 400 IM, she was seventh last March with a 4:05.36. Margalis has been impressive all season, though making time drops like this had to have likely stunned Margalis and the Georgia coaching staff. The next question becomes whether or not Margalis contests both of these events at the NCAAs, giving Georgia strong points in events that Cal, the Bulldogs' strongest contender for the team title, is weak.
Showing off her tenacity, Margalis participated in the 200 medley relay just a few minutes before her 400 IM, splitting a 26.86 on breaststroke to help Georgia win with a 1:36.97 over Auburn's 1:38.95 and Alabama's 1:39.18.
Margalis essentially swam her 400 IM alone today, a teammate Hali Flickinger was seven seconds back with a 4:08.89, a time worthy of high praise on its own merits since it's a lifetime best for the sophomore. Annie Zhu was in a fight with another Georgia Bulldog, Nicole Vernon, for third, with Zhu posting a 4:13.41 to Vernon's 4:13.68.
In the 100 breast, Zhu moved up a spot to second with a 1:00.31, while Florida State's Sami Pochowski took third with a 1:01.27.
Another swimmer of note today was 400 IM NCAA champion Chase Kalisz. A day after nearly taking down his lifetime best in the 200 IM, Kalisz chased his personal best of 3:38.05 that he swam to win the 2013 title and won today with a 3:39.03. Last March, Kalisz's splits were 51.55, 55.42, 59.83 and 51.25. Tonight, his butterfly split was faster (50.23), while his backstroke (56.61) and breaststroke (1:00.76) splits were slower. As for his freestyle, it was essentially the same, as he posted a 51.43 today. With the Duel in the Pool coming up in a month, Kalisz is looking to end his breakout year in a big way.
Settling for second today was Georgia's Tynan Stewart with a 3:47.75, while Florida State's Juan Sequera was third with a 3:49.20.
Olympic champion Shannon Vreeland posted a big win in the 200 free with a 1:43.92. It's just a second off the time she swam to place fourth at last March's NCAA championships and raises the bar on the collegiate competition in the event. Missy Franklin previously held the fastest time of the season with a 1:45.19. Georgia's perennial freestyle depth was on display as two others also surpassed Franklin's time. Brittany MacLean was second with a 1:44.60, while Amber McDermott took third with a 1:44.93.
Matias Koski and Ned McKendry renewed their battle from last night's 500 free in today's 200 free with Koski getting another victory over the Australian postgrad. Koski, a sophomore at Georgia, put up a 1:34.41 to McKendry's 1:34.59. It's just six tenths off what Koski went at last March's NCAAs, and with McKendry making his short course yards debut, is a lifetime best for him. Kevin Rogers of Florida State was third with a 1:36.83.
Joe Patching was a part of two of three wins for the Auburn collegiate team today. He led off the winning 200 medley relay that put up a time of 1:25.98 to beat Florida State's 1:26.09 and Georgia's 1:26.87. Patching won the 100 back as well with a 46.77 over Sankovich's 46.81. They are now the only two under 47 seconds this season, with more top swimmers lining up to race this weekend.
The other Auburn win came in the men's 100 breast courtesy of Michael Duderstadt's 53.20 over Nic Fink's 53.31 and Jared Pike's 53.61. Duderstadt had a major time drop, slicing 1.3 seconds off his lifetime best of 54.56 from last December's junior nationals and standing at the top of the collegiate rankings.
Alabama got into the win column today with a 53.14 from Kristel Vourna in the women's 100 fly. Lauren Harrington of Georgia was second with a 53.39 and Bos took third with a 53.40. Reigning NCAA champion Olivia Scott was seventh with a 54.14.
In the 800 free relays, Georgia was uncontested in the women's race, winning with a 7:01.78 to Florida State's 7:13.86. Vreeland (1:44.76), McDermott (1:45.96), Margalis (1:45.54) and MacLean (1:45.52) will be hard to beat this season.
In the men's race, the Bulldogs beat Auburn by three seconds, posting a 6:25.33 to Auburn's 6:28.88. Though Koski swam 1.2 seconds slower than he did in the individual event, Kalisz put up a powerful 1:35.33 to keep the lead. Will Freeman (1:36.87) and Fink (1:37.53) rounded out the foursome for Georgia.

(Editor's Note: After the dissolution of Jane, Elizabeth Roberts
wrote this song to commemorate the Abortion Counseling Service.
It was set to the tune of "Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into
Heaven Anymore", an anti-war song by John Prine.)
I woke up one bright morning.
about the middle of May.
I had some kids and a good old man,
Things were going my way.
But I looked at my calendar and there I read my fate.
Five pounds here and a bigger brassiere
I was about seven weeks late!
643-3844 is a number you'll adore
The women in the service know what youre calling for.
Theyll give you an abortion
No matter what the reason for. (Alt. maybe three or four)
And 643-3844 is a number youll adore.
I siddled up to my best chum
I tried to tell her why -
I was getting fat and my breakfast
And then I started to cry
Dont you worry, dont you fret,
She said to me so plain.
Ill give you a telephone number
And you can tell it all to Jane.
I called this lady on the phone.
She sounded really great.
She asked my name and telephone and then my l.p. date.
A counsellor will call you, Just put your mind at rest. Wed
like $100.
But well take you best(quietly).
Its another bright May morning
My problems all resolved.
But my heart is heavy laden
Cause I hear Janes been dissolved."
No more o.o.t.s, 6 p.k.s 3 k.s, a.b.s, or miss.
Cause when you dial the number
The message sounds like this- - -
643-3844 cant help you any more
Were already out of business
From your dirty legal war.
We gave you an abortion no matter at the reason for.
But 643-384 cant help you any more.

CEDAR CITY, Utah, March 21 – Southern Utah (8-17, 1-1 BSC) split a doubleheader with visiting Weber State (18-11, 1-1 BSC) as the two teams opened Big Sky Conference play at Kathryn Berg Field on Friday. The Wildcats built leads in both contests, with SUU rallying in the first for an 8-7 walk-off victory, before falling in the second by a count of 8-3.
Weber State jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the opener with an RBI double from Brooke Silva. SUU battled back within one in the bottom half of the second after catcher Lyndsey Healey hit a ball out to left center for her first home run as a Thunderbird. Kylee Wolf added a bases loaded walk to bring in a second run.
The Wildcats added another score in the third, but SUU evened things up as Healey plated two more runs with an RBI single in the fourth. WSU retook control in the final inning with an RBI double from Mylee Davis and a run-scoring single for Brooke Ford.
The T-Birds went into their last turn at bat down three, and quickly gave away two outs. Wolf started a rally by singling up the middle and Henderson followed with another base hit to load the bags. Two runs came in on back-to-back errors by the Wildcats and SUU trailed by just one with the bases still full. Healey put the ball in play down the third base line and another defensive miscue allowed Cora Cordova and Henderson to reach home, clinching the 8-7 win for Southern Utah.
Jordan Theurer (4-5) earned the win by tossing four innings of relief. The freshman pitcher racked up three strikeouts and gave up three runs. Jasmine Ioane (4-2) was charged with the loss after allowing six runs on six hits over 3.2 innings.
SUU started the second game with a 2-0 edge as Madison Resley and Terysa Dyer each drove in a run in the opening frame. Weber State came back to put up seven runs on eight hits in the following inning however to once again build a lead. The Wildcats came up with four doubles and two home runs during the streak.
The visitors added to the margin with another score in the top of the sixth and then held off another potential SUU rally in the last inning to come out on top, 8-3. Resley grounded out for the Thunderbirds' final RBI.
Katie Greenberg (2-4) allowed six runs on six hits before being relieved by Theurer. She worked four innings before Ariel Hart closed out the final two. The Wildcats also used three pitchers as Kylee Colvin got the start before giving way to Morgan Allaband (1-3) who came on in the third and tossed four innings to earn her first win of the season. MaCauley Flint came in to throw the bottom of the seventh.
The two teams meet again Saturday for the series-deciding finale. First pitch is scheduled for 12:00 p.m. with coverage available online at www.suutbirds.com.

For most investors, the key is patience
Downsize in a major way
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
Considering how ugly the broader market is today, the fact
that Apple (Nasdaq:
) is down just 1% with 30 minutes in the trading day isn't too
shabby. One day and a 1% decline does not represent a break in
what has become one of the most impressive single-stock bull
trends in recent memory. That's a good thing because so many
investors have not only been drawn to Apple shares, but to
various ETFs
as proxies for the stock
Rather than incurring the potential downside risks of an ETF
that features a large weight to Apple such as the PowerShares QQQ
), Technology Select Sector SPDR (NYSE:
) or the iShares Dow Jones US Technology Index Fund (NYSE:
), the ETF with the largest allocation to Apple, the evidence is
compelling regarding equal-weight ETFs with only modest weights
to the iPhone maker.
After highlighting the risks posed to investors by
ETFs with excessive Apple allocations
Street One Financial President Scott Freeze talked with Benzinga
today and continued to extol the virtues of equal-weight ETFs
over those funds that bulging at the seams with Apple.
Freeze favors the First Trust NASDAQ-100 Equal Weighted Index
Fund (Nasdaq:
). Apple accounts for just 1.02% of QQEW's weight and isn't even
among the ETF's top-30 holdings, but even with a significantly
lower weight to Apple than QQQ or XLK QQEW "is actually
performing better on the upside than one would expect and the
downside risk isn't as high," Freeze said in the interview.
One potential risk to those that are long ETFs such as QQQ and
XLK is the possibility of major indexes such as the Nasdaq 100
rebalancing, which it did last year, to lower Apple's weight.
Freeze notes a snowball effect could take place.
"When an index is reweighted, there are sell orders from every
ETF and mutual fund that hold Apple," Freeze said. "There could
be 10 million Apple shares for market-on-close orders when the
stock is trading at $620 and that could lead to Apple closing at
$595. It's hard to find the offsetting order flow for 10
million-share orders." (Note this is a hypothetical example.)
Of course, that would create selling pressure in ETFs, but
sizable orders to sell Apple would impact the likes of QQQ and
XLK more than QQEW, according to Freeze.
Year-to-date, QQEW has trailed QQQ by less than 5% and XLK by
less than 3%. The First Trust NASDAQ-100-Tech Index Fund (Nasdaq:
), which isn't an equal-weight ETF, is up over 16% year-to-date
despite an allocation of just 2.42% to Apple.
In other words, investors aren't giving much away in terms of
performance to lower their exposure to Apple-specific risks. As
Freeze said "Investors buy ETFs to avoid single-stock risk. Apple
as one-fifth of an ETF defeats the purpose."
Freeze also mentioned the newly minted Direxion Nasdaq 100
Equal Weighted Index Shares ETF (NYSE: QQQE) as possible option
for investors looking for an equal-weight approach to the Nasdaq
100. QQQE debuted in late March.
Another option to consider is the Guggenheim S&P Equal
Weight Technology ETF (NYSE:
). Apple is RYT's second-largest holding at1.59%, trailing the
1.68% Red Hat (NYSE:
) garners. Still, RYT was up more than 17% year-to-date at the
start of trading today.

CAMAS, Wash. and FAIRFIELD, N.J.—The monitoring industry's Automated Secure Alarm Protocol (ASAP) got a big boost recently when Underwriters Laboratories and Intertek both announced that the new program meets the requirements of the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code (NFPA 72).
DALLAS—Westec Intelligent Surveillance, which earlier this year became one of the first interactive video surveillance companies to get behind new-to-security nationally recognized testing lab Intertek ETL, has taken the extra step of getting additional listings from UL, the company announced Sept. 1.

I did a search for this and havent really seen an answer for it.
Can an adept use critical strike with the hardliner gloves in arsenal?
My view is that they are both part of unarmed combat so yes but i cna see the argument either way. There wont be any houseruling for this so i would like to stick as close to the books as possible.
And before you accuse me of so i am a slight powergamer but i play w/ other powergamers and i would love for these to stack so i can get those gloves as weapon foci.

Throw a Possession Spirit or a Inhabiation Spirit into the item. It increases all of the items attributes/stats by its force as well as making practically indestructible and giving you access to whatever powers the spirit has like Movment or Magical Guard.
Okay what you do is cast Improve Reflexes at F1, you take your dice (10 or whatever) and add your edge into the roll. As per Shadowrun's own rules, because you added edge you are now allowed to bypass the 1 hit restriction on a F1 spell. You then get say...6 hits. This gives you +6 to Initiative and 4 Passes, you can now place your F1 spell with 6 hits into a F1 Sustaining Focus for 10k Nuyen.
Not everybody agrees these ideas are actual rules or allowed. Boomer, make sure to ask your GM how he feels about this.
The adept version isnt castable it only affects u and is always on so from what i can see in this one case its actually better to go bioware
just cost a frikking lot of money to do it right
Many people think phys ad + bioware is really the "best" option, so if you like the actual character idea, go with it. You can fit a lot of useful cyber + bio in one Essence point, esp. if you take the Biocompatibility quality. If you don't want to sacrifice essense, see if your GM will allow the Way of the Adept book, then pick up The Warriors Way quality, add a geas to the Increase Reflexes ability, and the PP cost is a lot lower. And if you're using the Adepts Ways and using cyber/bio, the Burnouts Way gives even more essence-loss reductions.*
*so I hear - don't have the book myself...

Acetone in human breath has been established as a biomarker for diabetes. The application of UV spectroscopy for the study of biomedical compounds has been developed over recent years but is often limited by the lack of absolute data for calibration of the instrumentation. By measuring high resolution absolute VUV photoabsorption cross sections of acetone, we are able to provide calibration values at several wavelengths with special attention to 4.661 eV (266 nm). Results are compared with recent published data [C Wang, A Mbi, Meas. Sci. Technol., 2007, 18, 2731–2741]. The acetone spectrum is here revisited from a recent contribution [Nobre M, et al, Phys Chem Chem Phys, 2008 (in press)] where the absolute cross sectional values are obtained in the 3.7–10.8 eV energy region. Future medical units working in close link with synchrotron radiation facilities can make use of the VUV spectra wavelength region to trace acetone in diabetic patients.

Dan Connors Oct 27, 2013 10:22 AM
in response to Ron Kaplan
I do, and several others. These problems are new since upgrading to Mavericks and Aperture 3.5:
1. In a photo with a detected face and an Aperture guess, there appears the guessed name and a check mark and an x. However, when I hover over the marks, I often see a hand instead of a pointer. I cannot effectively click either (although pressing Enter selects the one highlighted). Sometimes if I click three to four times, the name will highlight and I can correct it.
2. In split view, with Name selected, pressing the right arrow no longer goes to the next photo. Dragging the selected photo doesn't work either.
3. In a photo with about 30 people, in Viewer, with Name selected, the program continually cycled from one face to the next--acted like it was checking for missing faces.
I am very concerned about these issues as they reflect similar issues which caused me to move from iPhoto to Aperture about a year ago--the database is unstable.
Reported to Apple
Dan Connors Oct 27, 2013 10:36 AM
in response to Dan Connors
On an existing photo with two faces on it, no faces are identified. Added two faces. Go to next photo. Go back to this photo--no faces identified.
voicedoc1326 Oct 29, 2013 11:08 AM
in response to Ron Kaplan
Also experiencing the same issues. I have tried to repeatedly re-align the detected face without success. I have also noticed difficulty hitting the X if I disagree with the auto-recognition. It doesn't want to respond at all.
jsprout3 Oct 29, 2013 1:14 PM
in response to Ron Kaplan
The face recognition thing is not new. I have been fighting this bug for months. It only seems to efffect certain pictures but have never been able to figure out the pattern. In addition to moving off the face, sometimes the face rectangle gets almost as big as the photo.
Zibip Oct 29, 2013 6:48 PM
in response to Ron Kaplan
For me the face rectangle resizing was happening every so often before the 3.5 upgrade, but I've just spent several days adding faces to photos only to find that they have all skewed off position since 'upgrading' to 3.5. What's even more disconcerting is that some photos have face boxes that were not assigned to the photo.
As my reason for upgrading to 3.5 was the promise of bug fixes, this is a pretty major disappointment and one that makes me reluctant to process any more photos... What happens if/when they fix the issue photos assigned faces since the bug are all skewed the other way???
Apple please fix this!
jsprout3 Oct 29, 2013 7:16 PM
in response to Zibip
Have you looked at locations? it appears that most of my locations info is garbage. I have stopped work on my my aperture project - completely.
lolo318 Oct 30, 2013 12:24 AM
in response to Ron Kaplan
I've the same issue here, most of the faces are misaligned since the upgrade to the latest Aperture release.
Hoping Apple is working to fix that.
jsprout3 Oct 30, 2013 9:53 AM
in response to Ron Kaplan
I think Dan Conners above has provided an excellent description of the Faces problem. I have seen all of them and I think most have existed for some time - certainly in my case, more that a year! Hope Apple provides some fixes soon.
garz75 Nov 3, 2013 12:46 PM
in response to Ron Kaplan
Since the upgrade to Maverick/Aperture 3.5, I have the same problem as reported by the O.P.
For me it only happens for pictures that have been cropped: Aperture simply displays the faces frame at the wrong position when the picture is cropped... Try to remove the crop effect: the faces frames are now positioned correctly over the faces. This misalignment occurs wether the faces were automatically detected or manually added.
Please Apple, fix this !! It looks like it is just a visual bug (I don't think the database is unstable as Don connors), but it is really annoying. As soon as you have more than 5 people in the picture, it is impossible to do anything with the faces in the picture (edition, etc.).
jsprout3 Nov 3, 2013 2:16 PM
in response to Ron Kaplan
garz75 Just rebuilt my Aperture library and did some more work with Face Recognition. For me, the face allignment problem appears to occurr randomly whether or not the picture is cropped. In a couple of examples, I cropped and streightened pictures already misalligned, deleted the misalligned faces rectangles and reassigned them. When I returned to the pictures, they were still misalligned in very much the same way as before. I think there must be a reason causing this but for me, cropping isn't it. And I agree with you looking at the pictures in faces view misallignment is not apparent. YES, APPLE please fix this problem!!!
garz75 Nov 3, 2013 3:35 PM
in response to jsprout3
I use my Aperture database in both Aperture and iPhoto: in iPhoto, The faces are aligned correctly. Actually I use now iPhoto for the faces edition... Going back and forth between the 2 applications is a workaround...
jsprout3 Nov 5, 2013 5:12 PM
in response to garz75
garz75 Thank you for he iPhoto input. After installing OS X v10.9 and Aperture v3.5. My Aperture library size increased from abt 320gb to 487.96mb. Have not been able to open this library in iPhoto, even when it was 320gb. Diagnostics goes to permissions. When I try to run permissions, in abt 2 min, get beach ball and message iPhoto is not responding. With all the problems being reported, I am really nervious about "pushing it". Ideas?
Thank you again for your input.
garz75 Nov 5, 2013 8:42 PM
in response to jsprout3
jsprout3: after upgrading OSX and aperture, I did not see my library increase in size notably... According to the info panel on my timeMachine backups:
Before upgrade:
Size: 40,487,097,262 bytes (40.58 GB on disk)
Version: iPhoto Library 9.4.3
After upgrade:
Size: 40,545,416,641 bytes (40.64 GB on disk)
Version: iPhoto Library 9.5
As you can see its format is "iPhoto", may be that what makes the difference with you. When I create a library with Aperture, its version says "Aperture Library 3.5"... I have no idea what the differences are...
I agree you should not push it, and wait for Apple to release some fixes to Aperture... Who said "never upgrade your software when the new major version comes out, always wait for the next point release"? A wise man I guess ;-) we upgraded and now we are in trouble...
Sorry I could not help...
jsprout3 Nov 6, 2013 11:34 AM
in response to garz75
garz75 Again, thank you for your input. Guess when new software is released, I "just gotta be first". Normally, for me, it has worked well in the past. Based on input I'm seeing from others, I am one of the lucky ones! Right now, I think I will hurry up and wait for some fixes. Have a great day,

Tommy Smith's "Demon Dreams," an offbeat East-meets-West hybrid, is at West of Lenin in Fremont through Nov. 10, 2012.
'Demon Dreams' at West of Lenin
Wise goddesses in Grecian robes school horned demons in Japanese garb about human evil and redemption in "Demon Dreams," an offbeat East-meets-West hybrid at West of Lenin.
Performed in a style akin to kyogen (Japan's classic comic theater), this broad fable written by former Seattleite Tommy Smith is basically a boisterous kid's morality play for grown-ups, under AJ Epstein's direction. The message is simplistic, but the hour running time is just long enough to fully appreciate the vivid Asian-accented design work, intensely committed cast and adroit sound score. Lighter than Smith's usual jaundiced takes on humankind, "Demon Dreams" doesn't reveal any astonishing secrets about how to manage your karma. It's just a quirky refresher course on being a decent person, punctuated by some good giggles — and who can argue with that? Through Nov. 10; 800-838-3006 or www.westoflenin.com.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Rocker Jon Bon Jovi is part of a Toronto group that has retained a banking firm and submitted paperwork expressing interest in buying the Buffalo Bills, three people who have reviewed documents regarding the sale process told The Associated Press on Friday.
It is unclear if the group would eventually want to move the NFL team to Toronto. The club is on the market after Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson died in March.
The three people spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity Friday because the process is private and the Toronto group has not revealed its intentions.
The group includes Larry Tanenbaum and the Rogers family. Tanenbaum is chairman of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, which controls the NHL's Maple Leafs and NBA's Raptors. The Rogers family includes Edward Rogers, who is deputy chairman of Rogers, the Toronto communications giant.
The group is on a list of prospective buyers who have submitted a nondisclosure agreement form to Morgan Stanley, the banking firm overseeing the Bills sale. The Toronto group has retained the Goldman Sachs banking firm to assist in the bid.
Bon Jovi previously expressed interest in owning an NFL franchise but never specifically mentioned the Bills. This is the first real indication linking him to Tanenbaum and Rogers (see full story).
Vikings: ST coordinator Piefer suspended 3 games
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Vikings will suspend special teams coordinator Mike Priefer without pay for three games this season and donate $100,000 to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights groups, in response to former punter Chris Kluwe's allegations of anti-gay slurs and taunts made by Priefer.
The Vikings announced the punishment Friday as part of a summary of findings by outside lawyers hired in January to investigate Kluwe's accusations, which included a claim he was released because of his gay-rights advocacy.
The Vikings said Priefer's ban could be reduced to two games at their discretion, provided he attends individualized anti-harassment, diversity and sexual-orientation sensitivity training.
Such education has been required for all Vikings employees, coaches and players on an annual basis for the past several years, the team said, and the improvements for the programs will be considered (see full story).
Bills: Gurley, McIlwan sign with Buffalo
PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills have signed receiver Tori Gurley and defensive back Kamaal McIlwan.
The free agent signings were announced Saturday, a day before the Bills open training camp in suburban Rochester.
The 6-foot-4 Gurley had one catch in three games with the Cleveland Browns last season. He has spent time with several teams since breaking into the NFL in 2011 as an undrafted free agent with Green Bay.
McIlwan has yet to play in an NFL game since breaking into the league in 2011. He was cut by Kansas City before the start of last season.
Both players participated on a tryout basis in Buffalo's mandatory minicamp last month.
They fill the roster spots left open after the Bills released receiver Cordell Roberson and defensive back Darius Robinson on Friday (see full story).

In a special session, the Colorado Springs City Council voted to uphold five of Mayor Steve Bach's budget vetoes, while overriding three.
This comes after Mayor Bach was critical of councilors for amending his 2014 budget. The city council offered 18 amendments to the budget, eight of which Bach vetoed.
At the special session on Monday, the city council sided with Bach on some key budget issues, including funding the police department, the Colorado Springs Convention and Visitors Bureau, and the Regional Business Alliance.
They also voted to support Bach's hiring of a deputy director of the Office of Emergency Management.
The city council did however vote to override the mayor's veto that would keep the number of city departments at five. Councilors want to expand the departments to 12, saying that is what the city charter says.
Bach is holding a news conference Thursday about the budget battle. He does have the option to file a lawsuit to block the city council's action.

Research and paperwork might take a couple of hours or so, but the effort could lower your tax bill noticeably.
Here are five of the most common types of property tax exemptions:
1. Homestead
Homestead exemptions keep you from paying tax on a certain portion of your home value. For example, in Alaska, those age 65 or better don't pay taxes on the first $150,000 of assessed value for a primary residence.
Some states tie the homestead exemption to other criteria such as age or income level. Each locality has its own rules and deadlines for applying. Some even require you to re-apply each year.
2. Seniors and the Disabled
Many states offer generous property tax exemptions to both older homeowners and the disabled. South Dakota, for example, has multiple relief programs that allow both groups to seek property tax refunds and reductions in real estate assessments.
There are age, income, and residency restrictions. Read the fine print. A homestead exemption aimed at the elderly may only defer property taxes until the home is sold. And don't assume exemptions for seniors kick in at 65.
- Washington state reduces property taxes for homeowners the year after they're 61.
- New Hampshire increases the size of the low-income senior homestead exemption as you age.
To qualify for a property tax exemption based on your disability, you'll be required to show proof, such as eligibility for Social Security disability benefits.
3. Military Veterans
Service to your country abroad may grant you property tax relief at home. Exemptions are generally available for veterans who:
- Use the home as their primary residency
- Served during wartime
- Were honorably discharged
Some states offer property tax exemptions to all veterans. Others, like Pennsylvania, target disabled vets.
To qualify, you may need to meet other requirements like length of residency or income restrictions. Parents and widows of disabled service members may also qualify for property tax exemptions.
4. Renovations
If you like to renovate, check for a property tax break like these:
- In Bismarck, N.D., fixing up a residential property that's more than 25 years old can earn you a five-year exemption from paying property taxes on the value the remodeling added to your home.
- In Pierce County, Wash., you can get a three-year exemption for home improvements up to a certain percentage of your assessed value.
Be sure to check with your tax assessor's office before tearing anything down; applications may need to be approved before work begins.
5. Energy Incentives
Installing renewable energy systems in your house could pay off on your property tax bill as well as your energy bill. Some states exclude the value of certain green improvements from a home's real estate assessment.
Eligible upgrades may include the installation of solar panels or geothermal heat pumps.
Look for information on state and local property tax breaks for renewable energy systems on the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency.
Other Exemptions
A visit to your local tax assessor's office may turn up other less common property tax exemptions.
- Smithtown, N.Y., exempts property you build or renovate to give a grandparent a home.
- Counties in New York state reduce the assessed value of the homes of volunteer firefighters.
- Many states offer widow/widower exemptions. It doesn't hurt to ask if yours does.
Are Exemptions Worth the Effort?
The U.S. median property tax paid is about $2,000 annually, or about 1% of the $200,000 median home value. Savings from exemptions will vary widely depending where you live, the value of your home, and what you qualify for. A 15% exemption would save about $300.

Bagle and Netsky variants continue to appear
Update:Someone is still releasing variants of Netsky, even though the original creator has been arrested. Even though the rivalry between the makers of Bagle and Netsky seems to have slowed down or ceased, both viruses continue to appear in new variants. There are now too many to describe here, but since PureMessage seems to be catching them all, they are not a serious threat to WOU users. See the links to the right for information on new variants. The latest tactic is not to include a virus attachment at all, but instead to try to trick the user into clicking a link in the message, which will then use security holes in Internet Explorer to download and run the virus. Several viruses now use this tactic; never click a link in a message unless you were expecting it, even if it seems to come from someone you know. Remember that From: addresses are easy to fake, and links don't always go to where they claim to go.
This virus spreads by email, using the by now usual address spoofing and zipped attachment strategies. It is notable only because it tries to take advantage of the holiday season to trick recipients. It tries to guess the nationality of the recipient based on their email address and will send out its messages in the appropriate language. The English version has the subject line "Merry Christmas!" and includes the text "Happy Hollydays". If your email program is capable of displaying colors and images, the message body appears in holiday colors and includes a small animated graphic. Within the message body it is signed with the same name on the From: address. Attached is a zipped file with an innocent-looking name such as "postcard.index.gif5627.zip", which is actually the virus.
General Note
Remember, WOU University Computing Services will never send you a program by email and ask you to run it. If you see anything like this that looks like it is from us, even from one of us that you know personally, it is a trick. However, new virus variants have been appearing at a rapid rate, so don't trust the virus scanner completely. The antivirus program on your machine should stop you from opening a virus file even if the email scanner hasn't been updated to detect it yet, but there's still no substitute for common sense.

Auxvasse With two outs and the the potential tying run at second base in the top of the seventh inning, was North Callaway junior pitcher Danielle Cassidy nervous?
Not at all, in fact
"I got mad," Cassidy said with a laugh. "It's a game, you don't know how it's going to go, so you just have to work harder."
The anger turned to glee just seconds later, though. Cassidy induced South Callaway junior catcher Anna Bartley into a game-ending groundout to short, helping the Ladybirds hold off the Lady Bulldogs 4-3 on Thursday night.

Does anyone have any idea when the game time for this game on the LHN will be announced? Will it be today or will it be another network 6-day time window? I think ESPN has rights to one more 6-day time window this year for the Big 12 contract correct? Heck, does the LHN even operate under the same time schedule as the Big 12 for announcing game times? Lots of questions I guess. Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks for the link, but I don't see anywhere on that link that says 11 am. Where did you get the 11 am start time from? It says in the article that it will be either the usual 12 or 6 day window announcement for game time.
There was a rumor of an 11AM start a few weeks ago but nothing solidified that I have seen.

Nice work. The LHN website does seem to show 11 am on there for the start time. I'd call that a pretty good confirmation.
Confirmed 11AM start.
More confirmation
Matt's College Sports Media Blog: 11/10 TV Confirmations
Chris Williams tweeted that it's an 11am start as well. If Chris says it, it's as good as the word of God.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
Remember, you're unique. Just like everyone else.

Just another piece to confirm the 11am time:
Texas State 2012 Schedule - Bobcats Home and Away - ESPN

They have an evening game scheduled on LHN for Texas State vs La-Tech.
Not to mention the Big 12 tweeted it.
Oklahoma 11:00am on ABC
Texas 11:00am on LHN (ABC in Iowa)
West Virginia 2:30pm on ABC
Just waiting on Kansas now. Pretty good exposure for ISU to round out the season.

I'd be beyond amazed if ISU/Kansas wasn't an FSN game. Even if we win the next two games and are ranked that game won't have a lot of appeal for non-fans. But 2 of our last 4 on ABC isn't bad. Isn't the WVU game a national ABC broadcast as well?
ESPN always has it when you look at ISU's schedule. Has both OU and UT up and they are confirmed 11:00AM kickoffs for both.

| EL SEGUNDO, Calif. - Feb. 16, 2011 - Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. today announced Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights, a new puzzle-based adventure game set for the new Nintendo 3DS™ handheld system.
Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights takes place in 19 th century Paris and revolves around a wily and aloof archaeologist named Jean-Pierre Lautrec. His love of history and unorthodox attitude keep him busy as a spelunker, searching for "living treasures" throughout Paris' underground. Upon stumbling on an old and mysterious map, Dr. Lautrec and his assistant, Sophie, traverse the peaks and valleys of old world Paris in search of hidden treasures and jewels that are believed to be those of Louis XIV, one of the most storied dynasties ever to rule.
Players steer Lautrec through the game using reasoning, logic and a keen eye to decipher riddles, solve object-related puzzles and work out the puzzle at the very heart of the map. Thanks to the power of the Nintendo 3DS, the game makes full use of the system's added dimension to add 3D solutions to key puzzles, including the ability to scrutinize located objects from all directions, or zoom in to highlight a piece of scenery that matches something on the map. Similarly, the linking scenes are also viewed in stunning 3D, with the cartoon links brought to vivid life.
Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights offers hours of puzzles and exploration with a rich cast of supporting characters on hand to both assist and hinder Lautrec's quest. As the Doctor and Sophie search for clues, rival Professors will attempt to sabotage his mission, while an elegant scholar is revealed to be a member of a notorious crime gang. And, even then, that's just the start of the many perils that Lautrec and Sophie find themselves facing...
Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights is scheduled to be released for Nintendo 3DS in Summer 2011. Look for more information soon at www.konami.com/doctorlautrec

Archaeology of the Digital
7 May to 27 October 2013, Main galleries
Curated by architect Greg Lynn, Archaeology of the Digital is conceived as an investigation into the foundations of digital architecture at the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s through four seminal projects that established bold new directions for architectural research by experimenting with novel digital tools: the Lewis Residence by Frank Gehry (1985–1995), Peter Eisenman's unrealized Biozentrum (1987), Chuck Hoberman's Expanding Sphere (1992) and Shoei Yoh's roof structures for Odawara (1991) and Galaxy Toyama (1992) Gymnasiums.
These four architects went to the computer with different needs and in doing so created four very clear strands in the evolution of architecture. For Frank Gehry, the computer influenced the development of an expressive design language. The series of designs for the unfinished Lewis Residence shows a fascinating interplay between three-dimensional computer simulations and physical models that leads to a new architectural vocabulary. For the proposed Biology Center for the J. W. Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main, Peter Eisenman used scripting to create different iterations of abstract representations of DNA structures. Computing was crucial to Chuck Hoberman's Iris Dome and Expanding Sphere projects as it allowed him to perform complex geometrical calculations. On the roofs of the Galaxy Toyama and the unbuilt Odawara Municipal Sports Complex Shoei Yoh used computer-led production to vary the length of structural members, allowing him to create sculpted roof forms that responded to heavy loads.
Archaeology of the Digital is part of a multi-year research project launched by the CCA to investigate the development and use of computers in architecture, and the first step in the CCA's strategic objective of creating a collection of digital architecture. The project, spanning a period of three years and including exhibitions, seminars, public programs and publications, will foster research around two crucial under-addressed topics: how to collect, archive, and catalogue digital material and how to display and make it accessible to the public and to researchers.
Watch a conversation between Lynn and:
Peter Eisenman, architect of the Biozentrum;
Frank Gehry, architect of the Lewis Residence, Ohio;
Chuck Hoberman, designer of the Iris Dome;
Shoei Yoh, architect of Odawara and Galaxy Toyama Gymnasiums.
On 8 May, from 2 pm to 6 pm, Greg Lynn discusses the foundations of digital architecture with Peter Eisenman, Chuck Hoberman and Shoei Yoh. A publication coproduced with Sternberg Press accompanies the exhibition. Read an excerpt of Greg Lynn's introduction to the book here.
Other phases of the project include the 2013 Toolkit, a CCA summer school for graduate students, and a second exhibition akin to Archaeology of the Digital opening in spring 2014.

Former substitute teacher Billy Cleveland, accused of touching female students, waits patiently for his day in court. And now it appears he'll have to wait a little bit longer.
Attorneys gathered to discuss pending motions in the case, including one from the defense team to get the trial moved out of Columbia County.
Cleveland arrived with his attorney from Atlanta this morning. This hearing comes after prosecutors weren't prepared to discuss the motion on Monday. The motion to change venue is still pending as Judge William Fleming explains.
"Once we begin jury selection, and it appears the court, the defendant cannot get a fair trial in Columbia County, then I would be required to change the venue," Judge Fleming said.
So once jury selection beings, Judge Fleming will talk individually with each potential juror to see if media coverage has tainted their judgment.
The allegations stem from Cleveland's days as a substitute teacher at Riverside and Brookwood Elementaries. The alleged crimes happened last spring.
The judge said on Thursday that the trial likely won't start until sometime after April 1. That's so a member of the prosecution team can finish recovering from back surgery.

The dictionary definition for prospecting is the exploring or searching for minerals. It sounds a bit like an existentialist pursuit and no doubt some prospectors are inclined this way philosophically. But in essence prospecting defines the individual desire to walk long distances over rough terrain looking for rocks that have heretofore escaped the attention of previous passers-by.
There are really two types of prospecting and they vary mostly in the degree of success attained. The first type is the professional geologist, working for a large mining company, who is paid whether his work bears economic fruit or not. This type of prospector does all the right things but, lacking the direct connection between discovery and eating is less successful than the other type of prospector. This individual makes his living from his ability to find interesting mineral occurrences, stake the ground on which it is found and sell the claim to a mining company. If he finds something and sells it - he eats. If he doesn't find anything or doesn't sell it to a mining company - he doesn't eat. This is the powerful motivator which leads to most mining development success. To suggest that the unsuccessful prospector will starve is to overstate the case but where the paid geologist makes his salary and little else, the unpaid prospector has the opportunity to make a fortune from his discoveries. Money really talks.
So armed with little more than an ability to stay alive in harsh conditions, some cheap instruments to identify different rocks, enough training to distinguish economic minerals from non-economic ones and a personalized system for testing hunches thousands of people set out each year in countries around the world looking for the "next big one". Canada is certainly home to many successful (and unsuccessful but still happy) prospectors and it always is amazing for this gringo to witness the exploits of prospectors in Latin America. There are many more of them, they have the same uncanny sense of where to look and they are made of the very same stuff.
So if you want to prospect, get the required reading material, some tough hiking boots, inexpensive tools and be prepared for some exhilarating if lonely times ahead. You will be walking, observing, examining, recording and hopefully discovering. The very best of luck.

This is the fourth iteration of this map. Well fifth I guess but the first one was more for notes. Anyway, I have been working on this between other projects and I finally got all the linework done so now I just need to colour it. I have not picked a colour scheme yet though and there may be a few more details I might add and I should really move Moriya Shrine further up the mountain so it fits the canon (even though I like it where it is). So I may do that.
This project has been a good marker though, especially in comparison to my last version (which I increasingly hate).
Anyway, for the most part just the colouring to do! I'm sure it won't tooooo long. =P
(I may just link directly to it on my site once it is done as it is 1.5mb already even when saved as a really low quality jpg)

Gadsden County, FL - The Quincy Fire Department says the first blaze started at 8:35 pm Sunday night in the 1900 block of Atlanta Street in Quincy, and the other started at about 20 minutes later just a half mile down the road on Sanders Lane.
Fire investigators say the homes were abandoned so no one was injured in either fire, but they say they do have reason to believe arson was the cause in both cases.
WCTV talked to a neighbor on Atlanta Street who says she heard a loud boom, and then saw the flames through her window. She says the side of her home was damaged by the flames, and her trash cans were melted. As I was talking to her, firefighters returned to the scene because some of the trees by the neighbors' house were still smoldering.
WCTV plans to talk to the State Fire Marshall to get more information on the investigation. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

What Indian Business Wants From the U.S.
Sure, business ties between India and the U.S. are stronger today than ever before.

- It's Time to Apply for H-1B Visas to Work in the U.S.
Bilateral trade is expected to surpass the symbolic $100-billion mark this year. And, in a goodwill gesture, earlier this week the U.S. agreed to exempt energy-starved India from new sanctions on oil trade with Iran, though in practice buying Iranian oil will be tricky for New Delhi.
But the business climate is still far from ideal – and it's not just U.S. firms complaining about India's murky tax rules, policy paralysis and foreign investment barriers.
In his address to a group of U.S. trade officials and businessmen in Washington D.C. on Tuesday night, Indian External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna said Indian companies that want to do business in the U.S. have their fair share of grievances too.
Among India Inc.'s top concerns is what Mr. Krishna euphemistically described as the "worsening environment for mobility of professionals."
He was apparently referring to India's long-standing criticism of U.S. employment visa regulations, which India claims unfairly discriminate against its technology companies.
In his speech, Mr. Krishna referred to the "protectionist sentiments" against outsourcing. With a presidential election looming, outsourcing has again become a subject of intense political debate in the U.S.
The Indian government has repeatedly threatened to turn to the World Trade Organization to address the visa issue, but has done nothing concrete about it so far.
The foreign minister also spoke against the reluctance of the U.S. "to even consider" signing a social security agreement with India. This is something India has been pushing for a while,as it would exempt Indian citizens working in the U.S. on short-term contracts from contributing part of their salary to a retirement fund they're unlikely to ever benefit from. Mr. Krishna put the number of Indian workers in the U.S. that fall into this category at 300,000.
There are also what Mr. Krishna cryptically described as "unresolved market access issues." He didn't elaborate but India recently complained about U.S. duties on steel to the WTO. There are also long-standing concerns that excessive U.S. subsidies to its cotton industry are damaging to Indian farmers.
Mr. Krishna wasn't pleased that the U.S. included India in a list of countries where poor intellectual property laws are a trade barrier. In its latest annual report, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative said India remains in the so-called "Priority Watch List" largely for its failure to prevent and punish widespread piracy and counterfeiting of goods and for rules that make it difficult to patent chemicals.
India recently amended its copyright legislation, addressing some of these concerns.
Some of these issues may come up Wednesday when Mr. Krishna meets U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to discuss ways to strengthen the countries' strategic ties. One of the top priorities of the U.S. is to push India to liberalize foreign investment in sectors including multi-brand retail.
The U.S. also wants to balance out the amount each side is investing in each other. While U.S. foreign direct investment in India has jumped from $19 billion in 2009 to $27 billion last year, Indian FDI into the U.S. is stagnant at around $3 billion.
Overall, Mr. Krishna said he was optimistic that India-U.S. economic ties would improve further and help boost to the Indian economy, which expanded just 5.3% in the quarter ending March 31, the slowest rate in nearly a decade. "We are confident that we will restore investor confidence and regain economic momentum and growth," he said in his speech.
