Fort Collins, CO (Sports Network) - Derek Carr threw four touchdown passes as
the Fresno State Bulldogs defeated the Colorado State Rams, 28-7, in Mountain
West Conference action at Hughes Stadium.
Carr finished the night 25-of-39 for 217 yards for the Bulldogs (4-2, 2-0 MWC)
as they picked up their second straight win and the third in the last four
outings. Running back Robbie Rouse carried the ball 26 times for 124 yards and
also caught a game-high nine passes for another 50 yards. Davante Adams reeled
in four passes for 41 yards and two scores.
Playing in place of an injured Garrett Grayson who suffered a shoulder injury
against Air Force last week, M.J. McPeek connected on 15-of-29 passes for 192
yards and a score in his first-ever start. McPeek was also picked off once
by Phillip Thomas who leads the nation in interceptions with seven through six
Since opening the season with a 22-17 win over Colorado in Denver, the Rams
have fallen in five straight under first-year head coach Jim McElwain.
The Bulldogs scored the first 28 points of the night, registering single
touchdowns in the first two quarters as Carr connected with Adams for a 10-
yard TD in the first frame and then found Josh Harper with a 20-yard TD late
in the second to give FSU a 14-0 edge at the break.
Following a scoreless third quarter, Carr combined with Isaiah Burse on a 15-
yard touchdown to cap a nine-play, 47-yard drive at the 14:14 mark of the
final period. Later in the quarter Carr again marched his team down the field,
this time on a 71-yard drive that used 12 plays and culminated with a five-
yard TD toss to Adams.
Refusing to go away quietly, McPeek needed less than a minute to move the Rams
77 yards in the final moments, putting points on the board with a 12-yard TD
pass to Charles Lovett.
Colorado State controlled the ball for just over 23 minutes on the night and
finished with 249 yards of total offense.
With the victory the Bulldogs have matched their win total from all of last
season when they finished just 4-9, dropping five of their final six bouts of
the campaign under former head coach Pat Hill.

Welterweights Seth Baczynski (16-6 MMA, 3-1 UFC) and Simeon Thoresen (17-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) are the latest additions to UFC 152's rapidly-filling card.
Officials today announced the matchup.
UFC 152 takes place Sept. 22 at Air Canada Centre in Toronto. The event's main card airs live on pay-per-view while preliminary-card bouts air on FX.
Norwegian Thoresen takes a step up in competition following a successful debut at UFC on FUEL TV 2, where he submitted Besam Yousef on the event's preliminary card. That extended his current win streak to three, though he carries just two career defeats in 19 professional outings.
Thoresen holds a notable win over UFC vet John Maguire at BAMMA 3.
Baczynski, meanwhile, looks to make it four in a row after stopping the advance of another prospect. Most recently, the veteran of "The Ultimate Fighter 11" handed Lance Benoist his first defeat at UFC on FX 3, which built on wins over Matt Brown and Clay Harvison in his second UFC stint.
Overall, Baczynski is 5-0 since a loss to Brad Tavares prompted a pink slip from the UFC following his turn on the reality show.
The latest UFC 152 card now includes:
- Joseph Benavidez vs. Demetrious Johnson – for inaugural flyweight title
- Michael Bisping vs. Brian Stann
- Rory MacDonald vs. B.J. Penn
- Evan Dunham vs. T.J. Grant
- Vinny Magalhaes vs. Igor Pokrajac
- Marcus Brimage vs. Jim Hettes
- Seth Baczynski vs. Simeon Thoresen

Lumbar puncture is a test of the fluid around your spine and brain. This fluid is called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It provides protection and nutrition to the brain and nerve cells. CSF also helps to remove waste products from the brain.
The test is done to look for abnormalities in the spinal fluid. It may be done to help diagnose conditions such as:
The procedure may also be done to:
If you are planning to have a lumbar puncture, your doctor will review a list of possible complications. Complications may include:
Your doctor may order a
CT scan of the head
before the procedure. A CT scan makes detailed pictures of your brain.
Just before the procedure, your doctor will clean the site where the needle will be inserted.
Local anesthesia will be used most often. It numbs just a small area. The medicine is injected with a needle.
You will lie on your side with your knees drawn up in front. Some punctures may be done while you sit on the edge of the bed. A needle will be inserted into the spinal canal through the lower back. The doctor will take a sample of CSF through the needle.
During the procedure, your doctor will make a note of the pressure of the CSF. If you have discomfort, the needle may need to be repositioned. It may take several minutes to collect the fluid needed. The needle will be removed. A dressing will be placed over the puncture.
You will lie down for 10-15 minutes. In most cases you will be able to go home after the procedure. If you have a severe headache or require immediate treatment, you may need to stay longer.
About 30-45 minutes from setup to completion
Discomfort is minimal to moderate. The anesthetic will sting when first injected.
When you return home after the procedure, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Small Business Innovation Research & Small Business Technology Transfer (Program Description)
The SBIR/STTR Program stimulates technological innovation in the private sector by:
The primary objective of the NSF SBIR/STTR Program is to increase the incentive and opportunity for small firms to undertake cutting-edge, high risk, high quality scientific, engineering, or science/engineering education research that would have a high potential economic payoff if the research is successful.The STTR program further expands the public/private partnership to include joint venture opportunities for small businesses and non-profit research institutions. NSF expects synergism in the proposed research. A team approach is required in which at least one research investigator is employed by the small business concern as the Principal Investigator and at least one investigator is employed by the research institution as the Research Institution Investigator. The proposed research for both SBIR and STTR must be responsive to the NSF program interests.A significant difference between the SBIR and STTR programs is that the STTR requires researchers at universities and other research institutions to play a significant intellectual role in the conduct of each STTR project. These university-based researchers, by joining forces with a small company, can spin-off their commercially promising ideas while they remain primarily employed at the research institution.
The NSF SBIR/STTR Program typically solicits proposals in the following areas:
Unsolicited proposals will not be accepted under the SBIR/STTR Program.

In the second half the Spiders shot a bit better but not much, going 5-of-19 and 1-of-8 from 3-point range as they were outscored 33-27.

Do you see this pug? Do you know how that pug feels? Like he's lost his shit and he's going to bite his equally cute brother's leg later. No one likes to feel that way.
Isn't it though? It's just as bad as "golf," or "moist," or "panties." Or even worse, "golfing and stalking in moist panties."

Wait. They're happy without you? And you're staring at it via your computer screen? No thanks.
Photo: HBO
Do you know how awesome it feels to use the Internet for its actual purpose instead of stalking? It's amazing! You feel so fucking mature, you even start thinking you might Google what exactly a 401k is and where you can buy one.
Seriously; you have. Everyday that you got out of bed, functioned, laughed with your friends, or fell over in a new pair of heels... you have.
Do you see this pug? Do you know how that pug feels? Like he's lost his shit and he's going to bite his equally cute brother's leg later. No one likes to feel that way.
If you can't do it for yourself, do it for the people in your life. Do you know how sick they are of you crying every time you see a photo of your ex and their new love doing something moderately exciting? Pull it together, kid.

If they had, you probably wouldn't have broken up in the first place.
You will. Everyone is missed at some point; everyone misses the "us" they used to be even if it's just for a minute or two.
Shopping, starting a blog, downloading music, watching My So-Called Life streaming on Netflix for hours at a time -- the possibilities are endless now that you freed up so much of your time!

And because you sat in a Paris café eating macarons while writing this... need I say more?

LAKE FOREST, Calif. (AP) — It's one of the cool things people expect from their smartphones — the ability to open and lock their doors without using a key. And it's a promise made good with the Kwikset Kevo Smart Lock.
It's a lock that opens and closes using Bluetooth technology. Once you install the deadbolt lock and download the app, you can leave your keys behind — because you control access using your phone. Simply tap on the lighted ring of the lock and the door opens itself.
The installation is pretty simple — even for one who isn't particularly handy; it's no more difficult than installing a typical deadbolt.
It even allows you to easily re-key the lock to work with your existing Kwikset keys, so you don't have to ditch your old one.
Speaking of keys, the Kevo lets you send electronic "keys" to family, friends — or even service people. The app tells you when anyone has used the key to get in or out of the house.
And if you have no smartphone — no worries. The Kevo comes with a fob that can provide the same easy in and out functions the app does. The app currently is available only for iPhone 4s, 5, 5c and 5s as well as the third generation iPad and fifth gen iPod touch — but an Android version is coming soon.
The Kevo deadbolt retails for $219 at a number of retailers nationwide.

Iowa Gets Hit With First Snow Storm
(Des Moines) -- As you might imagine, travel is not being recommended this morning after Iowa's first snow storm. According to the Iowa Department of Transportation's Road Condition website, as of 6:00 a.m. all major roads in Iowa are 100 percent snow and or ice covered. On Interstate 29 between Sioux City and Council Bluffs, the Iowa Highway Patrol is reporting a total of 20 reports of vehicles either in the ditch or having accidents due to the snow. Towing services are prohibited. Here in Plymouth County,since 11:00 p.m. last evening, the sheriff's department reports of only one incident where a vehicle was reported in the ditch.
Highway 60, Highway 75, Highway 59, and Highway 20, Highway 18, and State Highways 3, 9 and 12 are all snow and ice packed. Road crews are out trying to get the roads cleared. Iowa Highway Patrol Trooper Vince Kurtz says road conditions in northwest Iowa can change rather quickly.
Listen to
The Iowa Highway Patrol reminds motorists to carry a winter weather survival kit while traveling. Trooper Kurtz has this suggestion as to what we should have in our vehicles, in case we are ever stranded due to a winter storm.

Kurtz also suggests other items that should be in our vehicles.

JOPPATOWNE, Md. (WUSA) -- A cannibalistic killer in Maryland? A Morgan State University student admits to murdering his roommate and then eating parts of his heart and brain.
Twenty-one-year-old Alexander Kinyua is charged with first degree murder for allegedly cutting up his roommate's body with a knife and then stashing the body parts in his family's home in Joppatowne.
"I am just as perplexed as anybody else. I am shocked that something like this that would occur in my county. In my 40 years in law enforcement, I've never seen anything like this in Harford County," said Sheriff Jesse Bane.
The victim is believed to be 37-year-old Kujoe Agyei-Kodie from Ghana. The two lived together with Kinyua's family while attending Morgan State University. Kodie was reported missing last Friday. Now, the sheriff's waiting for the medical examiner to make sure it's a match.
"Kinyua has admitted to cutting him up and consuming parts of his organs, his heart and parts of his brain," said Sheriff Bane.
Investigators say they found a human head and two hands inside the home on Wednesday. Kinyua then told them they could find the rest of the victim's body in a dumpster in a church parking lot less than a mile away.
"It's horrible. We cannot believe what has taken place," said Heather Naulty, who lives a few doors down. "We see the family coming and going. They've always seemed like really good people. They are good people. We can't believe what's happened."
According to charging documents, it was Kinyua's family who turned him in. His brother found the body parts in the basement and his father called police. The confession came quick, but an explanation for why he did what he said he did never came.
"He said nothing about that and he gave no motive at this time," said Sheriff Bane.
At the time of his arrest, Kinyua was already out on bond for attacking another student with a baseball bat two weeks ago. He is now being held without bond at the Harford County Detention Center.

|Postal rates increase May 11
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
New U.S. and International postage prices will go into effect Monday, May 11.
The cost to mail a U.S. first-class one-ounce letter will increase two cents, from 42 to 44 cents. The cost to mail a one-ounce flat and one-ounce parcel will each increase five cents. One-ounce flats will now cost 88 cents, and a one-ounce parcel $1.22.
Mailing a postcard will cost a penny more, from 27 to 28 cents. First-class mailing to Canada will change from 72 to 75 cents; Mexico 74 to 79 cents; and postage increases from 94 to 98 cents for mailing to other countries.
Some postage prices will stay the same, such as the first-class mail additional ounce price, which will remain at 17 cents and the cost of the Breast Cancer Research Stamp which will remain at 55 cents. The prices for Priority Mail, Express Mail and package shipping will stay the same since these were adjusted in January.
The new postage increase is badly needed to help cover higher U.S. Postal Service (USPS) operating expenses. USPS receives no tax dollars for its operations and relies on its mail volume and the sale of postage, products and services to cover its costs.
With the poor economy and mail volume being down nationally by at least 12 percent, the Postal Service is facing a $6 billion dollar budget deficit this year. Americans still have one of the lowest postage rates in the world.
Mailers can save on future postage increases by purchasing Forever Stamps now. The Forever Stamp is always good for mailing a one-ounce letter at its current and future rate, despite any new postage increases.
Prices for mailing services will continue to adjust each May.
For detailed information on the new U.S. and International postage rates and a listing of prices, go to www.usps.com/prices.

Video: Wall Brings Public Bucket List To Logan Circle
WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - It's kind of like a classroom chalkboard beckoning the bold children to scrawl out a crazy thought when the teacher leaves the room.
"I'm writing I want to be photographed in Vogue."
But it's those three words... "Before I die... " that really get people to grab the chalk and finish the sentence on a public chalkboard at Q and 14th Streets near Logan Circle, NW.
" I want to sit on a Glacier before they melt away."
"Visit every continent."
"I wrote to see the seven seas before I die."
A local couple put up the chalkboard in front of an old dry cleaners that under construction. They apparently did it without permission, but nobody seems to mind, so far.
Some people take the board and its question very seriously. One man wrote, "To stay sober."
A young women wrote, "To pay my parents back for the all the money they spent on my college."
Many people write about love and marriage.
Roger and Rod, a couple for five years are hoping to soon get legally married in their home state of Washington.
The majority of these hopes and dreams have to do with making the world a better place...finding cures for cancer and HIV and helping the less fortunate.
"I think it's inspirational. It puts out words out there and doesn't let anybody or outselves hold us back," said Danny.
A man working nearby thought for a few seconds and said, "The thing I want to do before I die, make amends for all the wrongs I've done. That's the only thing I can think of."
Maybe that's something that could be on everybody's bucket list.

West Sac police officer accused of sexually assaulting 6 women | News
WEST SACRAMENTO, CA - A West Sacramento police officer is facing allegations he sexually assaulted six women while on duty as a patrol officer.
Sergio Alvarez, 37, is accused of targeting women who frequented the West Capitol Avenue area, said police department spokesman Lt. Tod Sockman. The victims were ages 20 to 47.
Sockman said the department was alerted to the possible attacks on Sept. 24, 2012 and launched a criminal investigation with the aid of the Sacramento Police Department. Alvarez was placed on administrative leave.
Investigators' findings were forwarded to the Yolo County District Attorney's Office which obtained a grand jury indictment against Alvarez alleging sexual assault and kidnapping.
West Sacramento Chief of Police Dan Drummond described the allegations as appalling and shocking. He said the accusations were not indicative of the deportment of his department.
Alvarez was in custody at Yolo County Jail and has been served with termination papers, Sockman said. Bail was set at $26.3 million.
Alvarez joined the West Sacramento Police Department in 2007.

I installed Zimbra today because I'am (and also quite a number of my friends!) not satisfied with the lettertype and icons in Microsoft Outlook (in 2003, 2007, 2010 versions!) nor in Windows Live mail.
After installing Zimbra it seems to be oke but it was a big NEGATIVE suprise to me that also in your program the lettertypes and icons cannot be changed to a format that people older than 50years can read without using a loupe!!!
I looked in the forum for the same problem, already in dec. 2008 a user send the same remark.
Is this problem solved in the meantime (and how?) or why is that still not solved????

Over 80 participants from 30 different pilot and partner countries of the UN-REDD Programme shared experiences in implementing Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) systems for REDD+ while identifying current challenges, problems, bottlenecks and data issues. The main goal of the workshop was to identify best practices and relevant experiences that could be adapted and replicated by others.
Participation of countries in the workshop's discussions showed a diversity of levels of understanding and in-country capacity of MRV methodologies. The presentation of the FAO MRV Framework enlightened the major technical challenges in the roadmap towards the REDD+ mechanism under the United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change (UNFCCC).
All participants agreed that the availability of remote sensing data remains one of the most important concerns to develop operational national MRV systems, where there are several good opportunities with GEO and Google, both initiatives offering data supply and support to countries.
Participants recognized that technology and methods should be developed not only taking into account country circumstances on REDD+ activities, but also country capabilities to understand and implement these technologies and methods. They also stressed that the importance of the use of combined methodologies of remote sensing and ground data is ever more important and UN agencies, especially FAO, should promote more actively this combined approach.
A major effort concerning capacity building is also required and identified as a priority by participants, especially from the World Bank. The GEO and UN-REDD Programme both agreed to increase collaboration within countries increasing support and impact on the ground. Enhancing current collaboration will benefit both the implementation of REDD+ strategies and improve the dialogue and exchange of experiences. The outcomes of the discussion during the workshop will be useful for countries during the upcoming Climate Change talks in Cancun, Mexico in December.

triumph over the New York Mets in a spring-training clash.
Eury Perez finished 3-for-3 with two runs scored and Will Rhymes added a pair
of hits while crossing the plate once for Washington, which received a strong
two innings from Gio Gonzalez in the 21-game winner of 2012's first outing of
the spring.
Gonzalez issued just one walk while fanning three batters and throwing 13 of
his 17 pitches for strikes.
Ike Davis had a solo homer and Juan Lagares delivered a two-run single in the
eighth inning for the Mets.
Collin McHugh drew the start for New York and was tagged for three runs and
six hits over 2 1/3 innings of work.

Call our certified SCUBA Instructors
Mon - Sat - 8AM - 6PM PST
Being a diver means being in the sun for long periods of time when youre not under the water, so a broad brimmed hat is almost a necessity. Years of sunburn will take its toll on your skin and can, of course, lead to skin cancer, so protect yourself while youre young and enjoy the outdoors for years to come. The ONeil Sonoma Lifeguard Hat is an extremely well made straw hat that is tightly woven with a nice wide, well formed brim that has a finished edge to prevent fraying. The Brim angles down and covers your face and neck nicely. It has a soft sweat band inside the crown and is very comfortable to wear. It also has an adjustable chinstrap that can be cinched up tight when the boat is running to prevent losing it, although my experience is that nothing works to keep a hat on your head on a fast moving boat, and a straw hat will quickly deteriorate in the wind, so your best bet is to remove it during running. I gave the hat 4 stars instead of 5 because the "one size fits all" is just a wee bit big for me. The hat is supposed to sit down on your head but the one I received was just a bit big for me and Im a bigger than average man at 61", 235 lbs, so Im afraid a smaller person might find it oversized. I bought one for my son who has a bigger head that me and it fit him perfectly. Other than that I would highly recommend this hat and I have paid more for hats of the same quality, so this seems like a good deal.

A knive is an essential tool when diving, and this is a great knife for the money. If youve been diving for any length of time, you know that scuba accessories often get donated to Neptune i.e. lost at sea, so I hate to spend a lot for a knife knowing that sooner or later its going to get lost. This knife is as good or better than knives Ive paid five times as much for. It can be secured to a BC strap to make it easily accessible for cutting out of fishing line or killing a fighting fish youve speared (thats why I like the sharp point vs the flat). The knife was so inexpensive, I bought two. One goes on my BC shoulder strap mounted upside down for quick access and the other goes into a BC pocket for back-up.

The woman in charge
Small Business of the Year runner-up
Garris Grading and Paving Inc.
Headquarters: Farmville
President: Angela Alvarez Garris
Employees: 16
Founded: 2006
Projected 2013 revenue: $4.4 million
Business: Grading and paving company
By the time Angela Alvarez Garris decided to build an asphalt plant, she was fed up with people who refused to believe a woman could own and operate such an ostensibly manly business. "Everybody was saying to me, 'Come on, this must be a smoke screen — this is really your husband's business, isn't it?' I said, 'You know what? That's it. This is a 100% woman-owned company. I'm going to paint this asphalt plant pink.' So, that's what I did." With its hulking batch tower, curved emission system, tubular storage tanks and drying drum, the 4,000-square-foot hot-pink plant is the latest addition to a paving and grading business that has grown steadily since she founded it in 2006. That year, Garris Grading and Paving Inc.'s revenue was $250,000. In 2012, it brought in more than $2.8 million. "When I talk to people on the phone, they always ask to speak to the man in charge. I tell them, 'Well, I'm in charge.'"
Born in Savannah, Ga., the 48-year-old Latina who stands just shy of 5 feet moved to rural eastern North Carolina at 16 to live with her sister. While attending Ayden-Grifton High School in Pitt County in the early 1980s, she met and then married Jesse Garris. After graduation, she drove a forklift at a Procter & Gamble Co. plant in Greenville while Jesse worked for S.T. Wooten Corp., a Wilson-based paving company. In 1999, the owner of Farmville-based Grifton Insurance Agency Inc. asked if she would be interested in a customer-service job. "I did that for three or four years, and when he decided to get out and retire, he sold me the business." The company was doing well when the Garrises were hit with a double whammy in 2006. First, her mother fell ill, and then the couple's teenage son suffered a collapsed lung. At the time, Jesse was working in the Triangle, but Angela needed him at home. So she hatched an idea — turn her company into a paving business. "I said, 'If you can pave for them and make them money, you can pave for me and make me money.'"
With capital she raised selling the insurance business's client roster, she hired three employees, bought motor graders, asphalt rollers and paving machines and began paving parking lots and doing bridge work for the N.C. Department of Transportation. The company was headquartered in her home. After three years, Garris was tired of telling customers that their project would be late because of her asphalt supplier. "I said, 'You know what? My customers don't want to hear excuses. I'm going to have to cut out the middle man.'" The UNC System's Small Business and Technology Development Center helped her draw up a business plan to build an asphalt plant. She got an intern to help with research and a $375,000 Small Business Administration loan. With that, she bought a plant near Charlotte and had it relocated to a 40-acre plot near Fountain, where she moved her company's headquarters. She has added equipment, including five pickup trucks, three offices, a lab for asphalt testing and a repair shop for equipment. Garris supplies her company with asphalt and sells some to municipalities across eastern North Carolina, including Fountain, Ayden, Greenville, New Bern, Washington, Belhaven and Bath.
When Garris approached John Southern, assistant vice president and manager of the Washington branch of East Carolina Bank (now VantageSouth), for the SBA loan, he was struck by her personality. "When you think of the paving and grading business, you think big, scruffy guy, right? But here's this small woman with these really big ideas. She came in and told me she wanted to buy a used asphalt plant, have it disassembled, sent across the state, reassembled and start producing her own asphalt." He laughs. "I was like, you know, that sounds pretty awesome." More important, Garris had her facts in order. "She had numbers on how much it was going to save her to build this plant, even if she was going to use the asphalt only for her own jobs. It was significant enough that it made us realize this would be viable." Not only was it viable, Garris paid off that loan — as well as ones for the lab, shop and equipment — this year. They were supposed to take a decade to settle. She's also added nine employees in the past 12 months. And the company had the winning bids for seven new bridges.
"If you sit back and worry and listen to all the talk," Garris says, "you'll never get anything done." She gives her husband credit, too. "You know, it takes a lot for a man to say, 'No, this is not my company, it's her company, I work for her.' But that's what he tells people. He has no problem with it. He's my rock." She pauses. "Well, him and God. The good Lord holds my economy."

Quote Matt Houghton:Quote Goddard:
What interests me is the input impedance adjustability.
Yes, I know what you mean. In my own experience, some dynamics seem to be more audibly affected by this than others. The SM57 for example. If you're not aware of it, the Magneto Labs VariOhm might be of interest.
Matt, thanks, yes I'd seen Hugh's review already and had appreciated his pointing out there that the typical condenser mic-oriented fixed input impedances of many preamps and interfaces makes them less than optimal for the dynamic and ribbon mics many of us also may wish to use, a point I wish all the mfrs would appreciate inasmuch as implementing a basic input impedance adjustment functionality in their products would not really be that difficult nor costly at even lower price points and could even be a big selling point as some mfrs like ART seem to have grasped.
As it stands now, the choices available are to accept less than optimal dynamic mic performance with many pre's and interfaces, purchase a higher-priced pre with adjustable input impedance, purchase an add-on impedance adjuster, or DIY. In this last regard, you and Hugh might be interested in an article by Paul Stamler which appeared some time back in another publication (which I won't mention or link to here but which can easily be located online by searching for "SM57 impedance gizmo").

Former UFC heavyweight title challenger Gabriel Gonzaga (12-6 MMA, 7-5 UFC) is returning to the UFC.
The fighter has signed a new multi-fight deal with the organization and now meets fellow Brazilian Ednaldo Oliveira (13-0-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) as an injury replacement for Rob Broughton (15-7-1 MMA, 1-2 UFC) at next month's UFC 142 event.
Gonzaga's management today announced the booking. MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) subsequently confirmed it with sources close to the event.
UFC 142 takes place Jan. 14 at Rio de Janeiro's HSBC Arena, and the night's main card airs on pay-per-view. The prelims, including Gonzaga vs. Oliveira, air on FX.
Gonzaga, who was once a top-10 heavyweight, went 7-5 in the UFC from 2005 to 2010. Although he briefly considered retirement, he returned to the cage back in October at a Reality Fighting show in Connecticut, where he submitted Parker Porter to win the organization's heavyweight belt.
Gonzaga, who defeated and stunned Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic in a 2007 title eliminator, ultimately suffered a knockout loss to then-UFC champ Randy Couture. The UFC released released him in 2010 following a 1-3 run against a murderers' row of heavyweights that included Shane Carwin, Junior Dos Santos and Brendan Schaub.
Oliveira (whose first name sometimes is spelled "Edinaldo") made his pro debut in 2005 and has been a fixture on Brazil's regional circuit. The heavy-handed Brazilian has picked up eight knockouts in 13 career wins. Most recently, the 6-foot-7 fighter scored a first-round knockout of Nalzinho Novaes. He's fought six times in 2011 with a 5-0 record (and one no-contest due to an eye poke).
For the latest on UFC 142, stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of the site.

Migration went well. It took me about a week to figure out a way to move the data without losing everything, but we're up and at it this morning with no problems.
Basically I followed this procedure :
Network Edition: Moving from 32-bit to 64-bit Server - Zimbra :: Wiki
And instead of entering "zmcontrol start" at the end, I had to go back and do another install and choose the upgrade option (although 6.05 was already on the system). It didn't eat any mail and all the SSL stuff cranked right up afterward.
If I tried to run "zmcontrol start" at the end of the document above, mailboxd failed and there were numerous errors in LDAP and SSL.

1969 Dodge Super Bee - The Project is Underway!Written by on September 1, 2007 Part II of the Project Timberwolf Buildup
We've built a lot of project vehicles over the years at Mopar Muscle, but this one is going to be special. Sure, it will have stunning, super-straight paint, a fresh, high-performance 383 big-block, and tons of new aftermarket goodies, but that's not what makes this project so special. What differentiates this car from the project vehicles we've built in the past is that when we complete this car it will be given away, quite likely to someone reading this magazine.
We'll be building the project Timber Wolf Super Bee much in the same way you've probably built cars of your own. It won't go on a rotisserie, but it will certainly have a stunning paint job. Though our car was originally dark green, we'll be changing the color to a factory yellow to make it stand out. Since all Super Bees were built on the premise of no-frills muscle, we won't be adding much extra to our already lowly optioned Bee, rather we'll clean and replace the factory equipment and make upgrades along the way. Of course, we'll completely check the car over and repair anything that needs to be fixed; we've already decided to upgrade the suspension with a Master Power four-wheel disc-brake kit.
Last month, we removed the drivetrain and interior from our Super Bee and took the car over to J.D. at J.D.'s Paint and Body Shop. While the car has a solid body, J.D. pointed out some areas of concern under the cheap paint that adorned our Bee.
This month, we'll follow along as J.D. strips the car down to bare metal, exposing any questionable bodywork underneath, and begins the labor-intensive task of repairing dents and rust. Knowing the paint job will only be as good as the bodywork underneath, J.D. and his crew will spend many hours welding, sanding, and priming to make the Timber wolf Super Bee better than it was when new.
The engine in this project car will get special attention as well. Upon tearing down our car's 383, we found it to be in good, though worn, condition. Though still a standard bore block, wear from high miles will require we bore the block for new pistons. Additionally, we'll install new bearings, oil pan and pick up, oil pump, and reseal the bottom end with new gaskets. A Comp Cams camshaft, lifters, and valvesprings will give our 383 a significant boost, and a Weiand intake matched with a Holley carburetor will handle induction duties. To expel the gasses, Hooker headers will be matched with a free-flowing, dual-exhaust system.
To handle the additional power we'll be making, we felt the transmission should receive some attention as well. This month, Tod Struck of Inline Performance Specialist will be going through the TorqueFlite, upgrading the internals with all new TCI components to ensure tire-chirping shifts. a TCI converter, somewhat looser than stock, will be employed to help launch our Super Bee, and we haven't ruled out a gear change.
Overall this will be a great driver that will hold its own on the track when finished, so stay tuned to future issues as we complete the Super Bee. Also, be sure to enter the contest, and this Super Bee could end up residing in your garage.

After removing the engine, transmission, and interior from our project Super Bee, we're ready to enlist the help of some friends. J.D. at J.D.'s Paint and Body Shop will be handling painting duties, and Tod Struck at Inline Performance Specialist will overhaul the transmission. Kevin Willis at Auto Performance Engines will perform all the machining, but we'll assemble the engine for this project ourselves.While the body of our project car looked solid to the untrained eye, J.D. quickly pointed out several areas under the existing cheap paint job that would need attention while prepping the car for paint.Just because a paint job is shiny and looks straight doesn't mean it's high quality. The lack of prep work under our Super Bee's previous orange paint was already causing problems. Look at the floor below the car, that's all of the orange paint that wasn't stuck to the primer underneath. The paint literally flaked off the car with a razor blade. This time it will be repaired properly.Since the paint on our car was sub-standard, and the bodywork underneath questionable as well, J.D. decided the only way to make it right was to sand the entire car to bare metal, then work from there.Once stripped, it was apparent several areas of our Super Bee would need some special attention. Stay tuned as we'll outline how the body was repaired and painted as this project progresses in future issues.With the body at the paint shop, we tore into the 383 that was pulled from our Super Bee to evaluate what we'd need to do to freshen it up. Turns out this is a standard bore 383; the wear indicates high-mileage, but otherwise this engine is sound.
Removing the oil pan from our engine revealed an interesting fact: though an HP 383 engine, the windage tray was missing. Further investigation revealed the rod and main bearings had been replaced, and the windage tray had evidently been left out at that time.Pulling the cylinder heads showed standard bore cylinders, which is great news. We'll bore the block the minimum amount possible to clean up the cylinders, and then replace the pistons with new forged units when we rebuild this 383.Although they had been replaced, the grooves in the engine bearings indicate that dirt moved through this engine's oiling system. when we finish this build in a future issue, we'll correct all the discrepancies we found with this motor and add some aftermarket goodies.To overhaul the transmission in our project vehicle, we turned to fellow racer Tod Struck of Inline Performance Specialist. He has been building our race transmissions for years and knows TorqueFlites inside and out, so we couldn't think of anyone we'd trust more with this transmission.To complete our transmission overhaul, we ordered one of TCI's master kits. This kit comes with all the seals, clutches, and bands, as well as a Trans-Scat shift kit to improve the performance of our 727.Overhauling an automatic transmission takes experience as well as specialty tools, such as this one used to remove the pump housing. If you don't have the tools or experience, we recommend taking your transmission to someone like Tod at Inline Performance.With the pump out and the front band loose, the front drum and clutch assemblies can all be removed from the front. While not the original transmission for this car, this is a standard big-block TorqueFlite with three-pinion planetary gear sets.While it did shift and work properly, our TorqueFlite had a significant amount of wear as indicated by the metal in the pan and filter. This calls for closer inspection of the internals to ensure we completely repair the transmission during overhaul.
Once the transmission was disassembled, Tod cleaned all the big transmission parts in his jet washer. Small parts were cleaned in the parts washer.Once everything is cleaned and inspected, the transmissions subassemblies are rebuilt with the new TCI parts.One upgrade we'll be performing is to replace the stock, 2.8-ratio kick-down band lever with the 5.0-ratio lever shown on the left. This is an easy upgrade and will firm our shifts significantly.We'll replace all the seals and gaskets in this transmission, but here's one that often is overlooked. Did you know about the seal inside the speedometer pinion?Using another specialty tool, Tod installs the shift-selector seal. The new seal from TCI will prevent a leak common to the TorqueFlite transmission.With the internals back in the case, Tod turns his attention to the valvebody. The Trans-Scat kit is easy to install and should improve shift quality significantly.With the valve body modified and installed, Tod buttons up the transmission and installs the shifter and throttle pressure arms.With our project only a month underway, we feel like we're making some progress. Our car is at the body shop, engine torn down and at the machine shop, and our transmission is rebuilt and ready to install. Follow along as we complete our project and be sure to check out the contest rules as you could actually win the car when it's completed!

I hope you are right with the SEZ, but doubtful.
Maybe Washington committed. Oops, wrong thread.

Malibu Rum makes it three straight after winning Friday's feature on a sloppy track
AUBURN, Wash. (June 22, 2012) – Malibu Rum made it three-for-three this season and six-for-10 lifetime with a come-from-behind four-length victory Friday in the $12,100 SMACNA Purse for 3-year-olds and up at Emerald Downs.
Ridden by Debbie Hoonan, Malibu Rum ran six furlongs in 1:08.48 on a sloppy track and paid $5.80, $4 and $3.20. Dan Markle is the trainer for owners Sue and Tim Spooner of Olympia, Wash.
Ugottabcatty, a 13-to-1 long shot ridden by Gallyn Mitchell, held second and paid $9.80 and $3.60. It was two lengths back to Rezar, ridden by Javier Matias, and a $6.20 show payoff.
Davos, Untilifindyou, Vegas Flyer and Goggles McCoy completed the order of finish.
Last early as Goggles McCoy led Untilifindyou through fractions of :22.33 and :44.84, Malibu Rum rallied wide through the turn, gained the lead past mid-stretch and drew off late.
A 5-year-old Kentucky-bred gelding by Kela, Malibu Rum is only the seventh triple winner at the meet, and the $6,655 winner's share bumped his earnings to $39,053 for the Spooners, who rank No. 3 all-time with 145 wins at Emerald Downs.
NOTES: Trainer David Martinez, former assistant to Vann Belvoir, picked up his first Emerald Downs win as Miss Magnability ($4.60) prevailed in the third race…William Antongeorgi rode three straight winners in races two through four, and is now tied for second place in the jockeys' standings with apprentice Eliska Kubinova and Leonel Camacho-Flores. They all have 31 wins, five behind Juan Gutierrez…In the trainers' race, Tim McCanna won the opener with Don't Be Bugging Me ($7), Frank Lucarelli took the second with Bear Creek Road ($3.60), and there is a three-way tie for first between McCanna, Lucarelli and Howard Belvoir at 19 wins apiece…Live racing continues Saturday with a 10-race card at 2:15 p.m. The featured $17,100 ninth race includes 2011 Auburn Handicap winner Showme Yourfriends facing Go With Gusto, a 7-year-old gelding aiming for his fourth straight victory at the meet.

Dear Editor:
In 1927, a disgruntled defeated town clerk candidate Andrew Kehoe planted and ignited 500 pounds of dynamite in Lansing, Mich., school, killing 38 children and seven adults - still the worst massacre of school children in U.S. history.
In 1965, Timothy McVeigh, planning vengeance for the Clinton administration's Waco fiasco, parked a fuel/fertilizer laden truck aside the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City that killed 168 - many of them children.
The presidents at the time of these massacres did not call for special task forces to legislate the banning of dynamite or fertilizer.
Since 2010, six separate attacks upon school children in China, where gun ownership is banned, resulted in 21 dead. No reports to date on special task forces to ban machetes or knives in China.
Now, after the awful shooting in Newtown, in the spirit of the Obama Administration "never let a tragedy go to waste," we get Gov. "Knee Jerk" Andrew Cuomo giving an anti-gun rant before the bodies of the children and teachers are removed from the school. Not to be outdone, President Obama selects one of the authors of the failed 1994 Assault Weapons Ban Bill, Vice President Joe Biden, to head up an anti-gun task force.
In a classic case of "closing the barn door after the horses are out," we will no doubt get more "feel good" legislation to ban certain weapons while the sale of these weapons today are through the roof.
We do not have a gun problem in this country; we have mental illness problem in this country.
In most large cities today, you will find people who 20, 30, 40 years ago who were treated and monitored in institutions now walking our city streets in the spirit that it's cruel to "lock people up."
Also, not to be ignored is the cultural rot in this country. In Columbine, Colorado mass-killing kids mimicked killers in Matrix movies. In Aurora, Colo., it was a lone gunman dressed as the Joker from the Batman movie. And in Newtown, it was a disturbed loner who spent his days playing violent video games in his basement room. From rap musicians that glorify the degrading of women and the killing of cops to the violence of gang bangers that follow no laws, we have desensitized an entire generation. We see the breakdown of the traditional family and the lack of adult supervision of impressionable young people.
For those who claim of "too many guns," sane and responsible Americans have owned firearms since the birth of this nation. In fact, the liberties and freedoms we enjoy, and many take for granted, were not God given, but were founded and defended with the point of the gun.
We see a spike in gun ownership today because concerned citizens in this country see the cultural rot and also realize as economic times worsen the government's ability to protect us will also be degraded. It will again be the armed Americans who will be left to defend themselves and their families. It is the police who can only respond and investigate after the carnage is over. To live in freedom is to expose ourselves to the occasional outburst of the insane and criminal. We cannot stop those who strive to commit evil, but we can make sure those who don't, the citizenry and the policy, are given a fighting chance.
It is a fact that the most effective way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy (or in Newtown's case, a teacher or principal) with a gun. For those who see this as "cowboy mentality," too bad. This is about giving people a fighting chance!
As we grieve for the victims in Connecticut, let's also ignore the political hacks who seek to take advantage of this unspeakable tragedy to further their political agendas.

I have never been backcountry hunting before. I was not planning on building a fire, because I figure elk and deer would be able to smell it, or me the next day. Does that make sense, or am I just going to be cold for no reason?
I have never been backcountry hunting before. I was not planning on building a fire, because I figure elk and deer would be able to smell it, or me the next day. Does that make sense, or am I just going to be cold for no reason?
Don't worry about it. I have had elk walk right up to the campfire, and watched them roll in still smoldering ashes of a wildfire.
Plus, if you smell like firesmoke, you probably smell less like a human.
so glad you said that BB. i agree. alot of people swear by no fire, i just cant seem to justify not having a fire, kind of completes the experience. now if i am putting a herd to bed and decide to camp from where i glassed them from ill usualy not build one unless i put another ridge between us. dont know if it makes a diff but just dont know how theyd react to watching that glowing orange thing across from them all night.
I have mixed felings on this one. In my younger days I hunted with a group that cooked over a fire in the morning and evening, we did get into elk off and on so I guess a little fire doesn't hurt. I also think that if you smell like campfire and an elk gets a nose full of that and hasn't smellled if for a while then I think they would be alerted. I think campfire cooking is pretty ineffficent compared to a jet boil or some sort of gas. Cutting, splitting, worrying about the wind and blowing embers, putting it out, all take time and I think time is better spent on just cooking over some sort of gas. There is an old saying " your never alone if you have fire"
I personally dont like having a fire unless it is absolutely necessary for some reason, like drying out gear after a nasty storm or getting warm when things get really bad. However, I don't think that its going to make them smell you any more. If your going to get winded they will wind you with or without the campfire on your clothes. I try not to use fires or headlamps at night if I can avoid it. In my opinion it is the little things and the attention to detail that makes all the difference in terms of success.

After 5 or 6 days on the mountain, you'll be "smoking" your clothes on a nightly basis...especially any components that aren't 100% merino as they will have taken on an unnatural odor - to say the least. IME, Critters don't care.
I don't do it myself, but, for whatever it's worth, I know of whitetail hunters who will deliberately "smoke" their clothes as a cover scent.

Watched some climbers, a lot more exciting way up! Looking for an experienced partner, and trying to figure out how to climb with a pup on a leash? :)

|This was a nice little hike using the northwest route. The weather was mild and partly cloudy with a breeeze at the summit. Kept a quick pace to the top and back for some good cardio.

One of the most important steps of proper skin care is protection which involves shielding the skin from the most damaging aspects of our environment. The number one cause of premature aging is the sun and so it is absolutely vital to use sun protection every day. The La Roche Posay In Sun line offers a full array of broad spectrum sun protection products that are cosmetically elegant, good for your skin and convenient to use. The La Roche Posay In Sun Mission is to arm the skin with the best possible defenses against the sun's damaging rays. La Roche Posay In Sun products should be a part of any skin care regimen.
La Roche Posay In Sun solutions are designed to be used every day so that the skin is always being shielded against environmental aggressors. All of the choices from the La Roche Posay In Sun line contain sunscreens that are effective against both UVA and UVB rays. There are La Roche Posay In Sun products for both the face and the body. Some of the choices are moisturizing while others are incredibly light to leave a nice matte finish. La Roche Posay In Sun can be used in conjunction with other products from La Roche Posay.
All skin needs protection but not all skin is alike. The La Roche Posay In Sun line offers a nice variety of products to suit everyone's needs.
La Roche Posay Anthelios 60 Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid provides unbeatable protection against the sun in a lightweight formula that leaves virtually nothing behind once it's been absorbed into the skin. This is a great sunscreen for active lifestyles since it's perfect for outdoor activities like swimming at the beach. La Roche Posay Anthelios 60 Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid is water resistant and safe for sensitive skin. It will not cause clogged pores or breakouts. Make sure you shake thoroughly before applying.
For those that prefer a mineral sunscreen or who absolutely cannot tolerate chemical sunscreens, there is La Roche Posay Anthelios Mineral Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid SPF 50 with a very effective blend of Titanium Dioxide. Minerals create a physical barrier between the sun and the skin. Because of this, they are effective as soon as they are applied. There is no need to wait before enjoying outdoor activities. Unlike many of the mineral formulas of the past, La Roche Posay Anthelios Mineral Ultra Light Sunscreen Fluid SPF 50 does not look white and ashy on the skin.
La Roche Posay Anthelios 40 Sunscreen comes in a creamy texture that does not leave a greasy or heavy feel on the skin. It contains the La Roche Posay Mexoryl SX, a new cutting edge sunscreen that is very effective against short UVA rays which are the leading cause of premature aging of the skin.
