Villopoto picks up 3rd Daytona Supercross title in 4 years
Published: Saturday, March 9, 2013 at 7:16 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 11, 2013 at 12:47 a.m.
DAYTONA BEACH -- The Ryan Villopoto era continued at Daytona International Speedway Saturday night.
Villopoto won his third Daytona Supercross By Honda over the last four years by overcoming early rabbit Ken Roczen on Lap 4 then cruising to victory in the 20-lap main event played out before an estimated 35,000.
"We ripped a great hole shot," said Villopoto, who rides the No. 1 Kawasaki. "I slid out over there (Turn 1) and had to make my way back."
Not only was it Villopoto's third Daytona victory, which put him in elite company in the Speedway record book, but he wrestled the AMA Supercross points lead away from David Millsaps, who fell on the first lap and rallied to finish 10th in the 20-bike field.
Villopoto is the two-time, defending AMA Supercross champion.
Ryan Dungey, No. 5 KTM, finished second, 5.287 seconds behind Villopoto, followed by Justin Barcia, No. 51 Honda, who beat Villopoto in the second qualifying heat.
"It was a man's race," Dungey said. "There's a lot of racing left this season. These guys don't make it easy, but that's what it's all about."
Barcia, who won last year's Daytona 250SX, made his Daytona 450SX debut and said the lesson learned was "go faster."
"It was gnarly," Barcia said. "The track was really rough. I was giving them my all. I rode really tight. It was brutal. Both Ryans did good."
James Stewart, a Daytona favorite since he is from nearby Haines City, spilled on Lap 4 but recovered to finish eighth. Roczen, who led the first three laps, faded to a seventh-place finish.
Villopoto is the fifth rider to win three Daytona Supercross events joining Bob "Hurricane" Hannah, Mike Kiedrowski, Jeremy McGrath and Chad Reed, who finished fifth Saturday.
"Daytona's a unique place," Villopoto said. "You have to be a man to do 20 laps out there."
Ricky Carmichael, who designed the Daytona course, tops the all-time list with five wins. Jeff Stanton, Barcia's coach, won four consecutive Daytona titles.
Matthew Goerke, Lake Helen, finished 11th.
Meanwhile, two-time European champion Marvin Musquin scored his first AMA Supercross victory by capturing the 250SX main event before the big bikes took center stage.
The French rider beat 250 East points leader William Hahn by 8.072 seconds. Jeremy Martin, a rookie rider, was third.
"I've been dreaming of this," said Musquin, who led all 15 laps. "Daytona is fantastic. First win in Supercross ever, that's huge. I really like the sand. I enjoy riding. It could not have been better."
"It was brutal," Hahn said. "Daytona is always brutal. I could hear the fans yelling for me every lap. I hope to keep this momentum going. I would have liked to be closer to the lead. I was able to keep my composure and get this second place."
Martin admitted he made "a few mistakes" but said "I just kept going forward."
"This is my time. It's time to make it happen," he added.

Orlando resident and former Florida Gators quarterback Chris Leak racked up his third overall championship Sunday after his CFL team, the Montreal Alouetttes, clinched their second consecutive Grey Cup. Leak also led the Florida Gators to a 2007 National Championship.
Earlier this summer, the Orlando Sentinel compiled a list of the top 25 greatest athletes from Florida, Florida State, Miami and the University of Central Florida football teams and our paper ranked Chris Leak No. 19 among the top Gators players in history.
Does winning two professional championships change your opinion of Chris Leak' legacy at Florida? Should he be ranked higher?
Chris Leak
*Years: 2003-06
*Position: QB
*The Buzz: Leak compiled a 35-12 record, including leading UF to the national championship as a senior.
*Stats: UF's all-time leading passer at 11,213 yards.
*Honors: Leak was a semifinalist for the Maxwell Award in 2006.
*Great moment: He completed 25 of 36 passes for 213 yards and a touchdown in the 2007 BCS title game.
*Quote: "I'm the leader of this team. I'm the quarterback of the Florida Gators, a third-year veteran. That's part of the deal." — Leak, before his junior season

text: Hello. When David Bowie came along, well, rock and roll needed a shot in the arm and when I first saw him it was a shock, and yet it was very familiar. It was very necessary. It was something that was needed. It was essential. And like all rock and roll, it was tasteless, it was glamorous, it was perverse, it was fun, it was crass, it was sexy, it was confusing. And like all rock and roll, it was freedom, it was pain, it was liberation, it was genocide, it was hope, it was dread, it was a dream and it was a nightmare. It was about sex and drugs, it was about combining literature with rock and roll, with art, with anything you could name. It was about sex as an idea, and sex as a reality, and sex as a liberating force. It was about rebellion, it was about rebellion as a cliché, it was rebellion as an idea. It was about rebellion as a billboard, as an advertisement. It was about the joy of reckless prophecy. It was ironic when rock and roll became self-reverential. It was about joy and terror and confusion in our lives. It was about sexual politics, sexual theater. It was a soundtrack to our lives, as someone else has said. He was both kind of a shrink and a priest, a sex object and a prophet of doom. He was kind of the welcome to the new world, to the brave new world. I'd like to thank him for what he did. Accepting for David Bowie is Madonna.

ZF-12498: Zend_Measure_Length bad encoding
On the unit array in Zend_Measure_Length, there're some encoding errors. Even if I'm in UTF-8 I can't see these units correctly :
ANGSTROM must be Å instead of � BICRON must be µµ instead of �� BOHR must be a0 instead of � DOUZIEME_WATCH and DOUZIEME must be douzième instead of douzi�me all MICRO* must be µ... instead of �... MILLIMICRON must be mµ instead of m� PE must be pé instead of p�
All non-ascii characters are currently displayed as �
You can see that is also visible on the documentation : http://framework.zend.com/apidoc/1.9/…
What encoding have you set for your locale? and for your output? I suspect we have our output encoding wrong for the API docs, so that's a straw man -- I need to know what conditions you have that are displaying the incorrect encoding. Some sample code would be helpful as well.
My locale is FR_fr, with UTF-8 encoding and my output is in UTF-8 too. My IDEs are paramtered in UTF-8 without BOM. I try with Eclipse and Notepad++.
Here are my headers sent by Firefox on the doc : {quote} Content-Length 224261 Content-Type text/html; charset=UTF-8 Date Fri, 04 Jan 2013 14:51:26 GMT ... {quote}
So I'm still in UTF-8.
Looking at your sources for docs, I can see you're using encoding="iso-8859-1" for the xml tag's attribute, so maybe it came from this for the docs.
But I meant those encoding errors are inside Zend's sources. I don't run any sample script using the Zend_Measure_Length on my applications, I just found it. Here is code sample using this package: {quote} <?php $unit = new Zend_Measure_Length(10, Zend_Measure_Length::BOHR); echo $unit; //Shows "10 a�" on a browser, with utf-8 encoding. ?> {quote}
I hope I helped you to fix it, even if I don't use this package. I just did to make Zend better ;) Thanks
The file {{Zend/Measure/Length.php}} is corrupted.
Oh bad :(
Won't be fixed? No reported issues about this corruption? I don't find anything on it when searching in your issue tracker
{quote}Won't be fixed? No reported issues about this corruption? I don't find anything on it when searching in your issue tracker{quote} I think, until now, no one has used this units. We will fix this.
Great. Thank you!
@Nicolas Please check the patch file and give a feedback. Thanks.
I have used this dictionary as reference: http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units
The patch is ok. I used the same dictionary as you as reference in the descrption of this issue.
Thanks a lot for your availability!
Fixed on trunk (25198) and release-1.12 (25199)

Defamation Lawsuit Against Lauren Greenfield Thrown Out of Federal Court
The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that the lawsuit brought against photographer and filmmaker Lauren Greenfield by one of the subjects of her award-winning documentary "The Queen of Versailles" has been thrown out by a federal judge in Orlando. The parties have been ordered to seek arbitration.
Greenfield and the Sundance Institute, which runs the Sundance Film Festival, were sued for defamation by timeshare developer David A. Siegel, whose family is the subject of Greenfield's documentary. "The Queen of Versailles" tells the story of the billionaire Siegels as they attempt to build the biggest house in America, only to struggle as the economic downturn threatens their business and their 90,000-square-foot dream home.
The content of the film was not at issue; the lawsuit was over the press release for the film. In his lawsuit, Siegel claimed that the original press release for the Sundance Film Festival premiere of the film made three false and defamatory statements: That "[the Siegel's] timeshare empire collapses"; that "[the Siegel's] house is foreclosed"; and that the film tells a "rags-to-riches-to-rags story."
Lawyers for Siegel objected to the wording of the press release. It was amended and publications that covered the news, including The New York Times, were contacted to correct the information. The suit alleged, however, that the damage to Siegel's reputation, and that of his timeshare business, Westgate Resorts, LTD. had been done because the original description had already spread via the internet, appearing on more than 12,000 Web sites, according to the complaint.
In her decision, which was filed on Thursday, U.S. District Judge Anne Conway noted that Siegel's testimony before the court was "inconsistent and incredible."

Rated 5 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by GSymonds Excellent Cow Milk Bottle! To be honest, I haven't tried filling it with milk. There's a cow on the bottle, which can be misleading, cause I imagine any type of milk can be kept fresh. Now, my use for it is downright devious! [Coffee snobs, avert your eyes immediately.] I actually use it to chill coffee. I brew a big pot in the morning, pour myself a cup, pour the rest in the bottle, and stash it in the fridge to chill. Then I enjoy an iced treat after work! I pour the coffee into the bottle while it's still hot—fresh out of the coffee pot. The seal on the bottle is nice and tight, which keeps the coffee tasting fresh. The bottle is made of thick and sturdy glass. And I haven't had an issue with extreme temperature changes. May 11, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mindnumbdumplin I own this bottle I bought it from another store but am so glad I found it again here. I use this for water kefir. It's thick and the mouth is wide enough to be able to flavr the water with fresh or dehydrated fruits. So far it's better than the the other flip top bottles I've used and is air tight. Very sturdy bottle. I highly recommend especially for fermenting or carbonated drinks. August 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rana11 very cute I love it. Not sure what I'm gonna use it for yet--maybe olive oil, near stove; maybe for drinking water on the dining table or bedside table? May 5, 2013

For a woman whose divorce coincides with Johnny's acceptance to college, a proud moment can be fraught with bittersweet anxiety. Sure, Johnny survived the admission gauntlet and has been accepted to the college of his choice. But, then there's that one thorny question casting a pall over all the good cheer: "Who's going to pay for it?"
For some divorcing couples, the answer is uncomplicated. Money has been ear-marked for college, Johnny's interests come first, everybody can agree on who will pay what. But for a couple whose divorce is more complex, college tuition can be a real bone of contention --especially if Dad has plans to remarry and might have other children, who will have their own tuition needs.
In short, divorcing moms must grapple with this harsh reality: Generally, child support payments stop when children reach the "age of emancipation," which in most states is between age 18 and 21. Beyond that, unless ordered by the courts, there is typically no legal obligation for a parent to pay college tuition.
So, in the absence of a court order, the best way to secure funds for college tuition is to include the obligation in your divorce settlement agreement. You can:
- have the funds put into an escrow or trust account to make sure they're available when needed, or
- get an up-front lump sum payment and manage the funds wisely so they're available when needed.
If the terms have not been negotiated in a divorce settlement agreement, the courts can order a parent to pay for their child's education –but that depends on the state in which the divorce occurs. Most states allow courts to order the non-custodial parent to help pay for college. A few, like Alaska, Nebraska and New Hampshire, do not, except in those cases where the parents had a previous agreement.
But don't panic. In order to reach a divorce settlement agreement that covers your child's college expenses, you'll need to Think Financially, Not Emotionally®. Also, please keep in mind: Even in those states that don't require paying for college expenses, the courts recognize the need for children to have a college education. Therefore, they can allow resolution of the issue to be part of the divorce settlement agreement, in addition to the amount and term of alimony and child support to be paid.
Let's get back to the main question. How should you best tackle the college tuition question if you're a mom who's in the process of divorcing?
The answer is relatively simple. If you're a divorcing mom –and even if your children are still very young –do not overlook including college expenses in your divorce settlement agreement. In fact, make sure your divorce settlement agreement specifically includes a written college support agreement in addition to any other child support agreements.
This college support agreement typically includes details such as what percentage of college expenses each parent is responsible for, limits on payments, restrictions on which college the child should attend, exactly what expenses will be covered, etc.
Plus, it's important to remember that college expenses are more than the cost of tuition. Any agreement should also address room and board, travel expenses, books, extracurricular activities and a monthly allowance.
Still, acknowledging all the facets of college expenses doesn't mean you'll necessarily be able to reach an easy consensus. Each one of these details usually involves negotiation. For example, conflicts often arise about exactly what type of college education a divorced parent is willing to fund. Johnny may have been admitted to a prestigious Ivy League college, where tuition, room and board can add up to well more than $50,000 a year. But, Dad may view that as a luxury he can't afford and so he'll agree only to pay for four years at a state school, where tuition costs are significantly lower.
In New York, many divorcing parents agree to limit their contribution to what is commonly referred to as the "SUNY Cap." This cap limits a parent's obligation to a percentage of the cost of a State University of New York (SUNY) school. In other words, regardless of where the child attends college, if the SUNY Cap is applied, the parent is obligated to pay only the amount specified in the cap. (Parents in other states may agree to limits based on tuition at state schools in their area.)
Even something as seemingly straightforward as a tuition obligation cap can make for intense negotiation, though. As Daniel Clement points out in his article Divorce and the Costs of College: Applying a SUNY Cap, courts can have broad jurisdiction here, and they have sometimes concluded that there is no basis to impose the SUNY cap.
As you can imagine, things get even more complicated in situations where custody of the children is split, and Mom has custody of one child (or some children), and Dad has custody of another (or others). In these cases, the courts generally want to see the numbers balance and that one parent is not unfairly burdened with college costs. Factors such as how much each parent earns, the tuition expenses and other child care costs are factored into the equation.
Please be aware that ascertaining the future costs of college can be very difficult, especially if your children are still young, and unfortunately, most divorce attorneys don't have the training or expertise to compute complex projections of future college costs and what the present value of those future costs would be in today's dollars. A consultation with a divorce financial planner can ease your headache and help you better understand all the options available as you plan for a stable financial future for you and your children.

The opposite of a date hike—yes, the "break-up" hike
Distance: 13 miles round-trip
Elevation gain: 4,700 feet
Time: Eight-plus hours. Another must-do for the hardcore hiker.
Trail: Bruiser. It's quite the climb (almost 12K feet). There are two trails up Mt. Timpanogos, but this is the most well-traveled. It's a gradual climb, but your quads will burn less than halfway up. Stick it out, because the views over Provo and beyond are... Well, you'll just have to find out for yourself. Bring a date only if you're both hikers. If not, this may actually be the hike that breaks you up, but maybe that's why you want to take it.
Who you'll see: BYU students, BYU professors, power couples, the occasional Utah hippie and ultra-runners.
How to get there: I-15 to State Route 92 to American Fork. Go straight nine miles into the Timpooneke Campground (yep, you're gonna need a permit).
Notable: Even though it's a bit tougher then most, you're not going to need the mountaineering skills, just plenty of water.

This calendar could probably be more useful to you if I didn't release this comic as it is finished, multiple comics per day and so randomly. You'll have more luck with the thumbnails page for finding just the comic you want.
About this comic:
"I Can Draw Better Than This!" has one basic rule - There are no rules. The reason for this is that it is an experimental work of practice for me, something to do in order to warm up for my real work.
However, there are several things that distinguish this comic from other stick figure comics, that make it what it is.
Firstly, to date, not one of the comics has been editted in Photoshop. All editorial changes and graphical effects have been applied before scanning the comic. This means that these comics are true to life, and when framed should look almost exactly like as you see them here (except the matting will probably be a little different).
Secondly, this comic is almost a visual blog, featuring versions of myself and the people involved with the Bellingham School of Comics. Read it, and you become familiar with them and with my view of the industry of comics itself.
Thirdly, there are certain formatting choices that I continue to unapologetically make, both for branding purposes and so that at such a time as I wish to break those choices it will be significant!
If you have trouble reading this comic, tough beans!

College roundup: Hatters add 4 men's basketball players
Published: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at 10:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 at 11:07 p.m.
Williams signed four players for next season, the Hatters announced Tuesday, including incoming freshmen Raekwon Harney and Glenn Baral and transfers Raymone Andrews and Kentwan Smith.
Harney, a 5-foot-11 point guard from Winston-Salem (N.C.) Prep, averaged 11.3 points, 10.0 assists and 4.9 steals last season in leading his team to its second straight Class 1A state championship.
Baral, a 6-4 guard from Richmond, Calif., played at Westwind Prep in Phoenix last season, where he shot 65 percent from the field.
The 6-2 Andrews has one year of eligibility remaining after playing three seasons at Louisiana. He started 68 games at point guard for the Ragin' Cajuns.
The 6-8 Smith also played at Louisiana as a freshman. He played for Otero (Colo.) Junior College as a sophomore last season, averaging 10.4 points and 5.2 rebounds.
"They're going to bring a high level of talent," Williams said. "They complement where we are, and I think they bring another element of basketball to our program. I'm excited about all four of them. I think they'll do a lot for our basketball program, and I think they will help us get better."
2 HATTERS MAKE ALL-STAR TEAM: Two Stetson baseball players were selected to play in Wednesday night's Cal Ripken Collegiate Baseball League All-Star game in Bethesda, Md.
Catcher Garrett Russini of the Youses Orioles and infielder Kyle Pitts of the Southern Maryland Nationals will play on opposing teams. Russini is batting .306 in 20 games, while Pitts is hitting .220 in 22 games.

Post subject: Do you read harlequin - series- category romance?
I'd love to talk about this. Based off of another post in RPF on getting bored.
I read them sometimes, and if I do, it's only the Blaze line.
I am trying to do a poll for yes... no... sometimes. I guess you'll see if I'm successful!

Post subject: How about asking: Do you read Carla Kelly?
Because Carla Kelly and many, many terrific, must-buy/must-read historical authors I fancy, are published by Harlequin Historicals. In fact, Harlequin Blaze just published a sizzling historical, very accurate and amusing too, by Betina Krahn, about the Prince of Wales and how he went about adding another mistress to his retinue. The best laid plans of princes don't always work out.
It will be a frosty Friday before I'll buy a Sheik, Billionaire or Lost Baby at my local Safeway but that doesn't mean I'm so closed-minded that I don't think that there
might not be more than a few diamonds in that vein: I just rely on the fine reviewers of AAR, DA and SB etc. etc. to mine for me
Lastly, here are just a few OOP Harlequin published books that are on my keeper shelves. And altho I will fully admit to mocking titles (which I still think and will forever think stop people from buying what may indeed be terrific books), excluding all books from a certain publisher? What's with that? I'm not even counting the tons of Anne Stuarts/Nora Roberts that I have and will never relinquish that are OPP Harlequins. I'm doing this from memory so forgive me if a non-Harlequin is on the list (I wrote this list originally for a great blog on AvidReader):
1. Velvet Bond, Archer bought because its supposedly the best grovel evah
2. The Boyfriend School, Sarah Bird, havent read: bought because of BWOM (blogwordofmouth)
3. Sweet Lullaby, Lorraine Heath everyone said it was great and it was.
4. Just an example: Mackenzies Mission, Linda Howard, could they be better? NO!
5. Mad Dog and Annie, Virginia Kantra (see above!!!)
6. A Scandalous Proposal, Julia Justiss AAR gave this an awesome review.
7. Lightning Strikes/A Soldiers Heart (PTSD story), Kathleen Korbel why arent they re-issued?
8. Do-Over, Dorien Kelly, this is a fantastic look at lawyers, partnership and the decisions we make when were young.

Like Janet W. I read a number of Harlequin Historicals both current and OOP. Elizabeth Rolls, Patricia Frances Rowell, Julia Byrne, Mary Brendan, Nadine Miller, Gain Ranstrom. In addition, some of the contemporary suspense--formerly Silhouette Intimate Moments?--are quite good. Some authors seem to thrive on the strictures these lines impose.

Yep - I do and voted so! I read mostly the Historical and Blaze and some Nocturne lines. There are some real gems there.
Sometimes I'm in the mood for a quick, light read and Harlequin is great when I'm in that mood.

When I was reading them years back, I seemed to gravitate toward the Silhouette Special Edition and Intimate Moments lines. The authors and stories in these particular set of books appeared to bond with my kind of writing and reading. I'm not exactly sure why and when I stopped reading them. I think it was probably around the time that I began to venture out of romance and into women's fiction, suspense and similar stuff. With only a few exceptions occasionally, I no longer read them.

I cut my romance teeth on series/category romances, I still read them quite a bit, and I'll probably always read them to some extent -- although now I read more single-titles overall. When I'm really busy I love the shorter format of categories, and like other posters have said, there are some real gems out there.
In the early 90s I was reading mostly the Temptation, Desire, and Intrigue lines, but now I read the Blaze line almost exclusively. Although, I do have some Harlequin Historicals by Carla Kelly and Elizabeth Rolls in my TBR, and some of my favorite Blaze authors now also write for other lines like SuperRomance, so I'm sure I'll pick those books up as well. And I have quite a number of categories from various lines sitting on my keeper shelf.

Nope, i never read them. The titles are too silly and the books are too short!
If I'm going to read a book i want depth and character and plot development and I never want the book to end. I won't bother with a book under 300 pages!

I find some very good reads in the Harlequin Historicals, Love Inspired Historicals and the Blaze Historicals. Can you spot the theme here? Plus they fit perfectly in my purse.

Over the years, I have read books in many of the Harlequin/Silhouette, Loveswept, Candlelight, etc. category lines. Loved most of Jayne Ann Krentz' Harlequin Temptations; Nora Roberts wrote lots of great Silhouette Intimate Moments and Special Editions, as did Linda Howard. Sandra Brown, Kay Hooper and Iris Johansen wrote for Loveswept.
Now, I explore what is available on eHarlequin.com and order books whose story lines appeal to me. I choose mostly Harlequin Intrigue, Harlequin Blazes by Cara Summers, and various authors in the Silhouette Romantic Suspense line, the new name for Intimate Moments. One of the best in that line is Marilyn Pappano. Her series set in Copper Lake, Georgia is especially good.
Scandal in Copper Lake
from earlier this year is one of my best books of 2009. It combines small town motifs, mystery, unearthing past secrets, ESP, and an engaging interracial couple.

I tend to avoid Harlequin or Series Romance books for two reasons: the titles are too silly, bordering on the ridiculous, and the covers are almost always so incredibly tacky (sometimes I wonder if they update their artwork at all) and look too much like throwbacks from the 50s of 60s in some cases (the silly little cameo of a couple embracing, with a "cute" little baby thrown in for good measure depending on the theme of the book).
I'm sure I am missing some good romance novels, but if I am cringing picking up the book because of the tacky cover . . . I don't know.
I guess I am a narrow-minded snob when it comes to romance. Oh well.

I used to read them. Back in the 80s and 90s, when Linda Howard and Nora Roberts still wrote for Silhouette, I read tons of them. And I enjoyed them. I still have a great many -- a hundred or so -- on my keeper shelf.
But the primary store where I buy books doesn't sell categories, and the quality of the books always varies, and there are too many "lines" out (each catering to a different "hook"), and the covers and titles sometimes embarrass me and keep me from purchasing them.

I read mostly Presents and I love 'em! Lots of times I feel too stressed out to concentrate on a really deep book and they just fit the bill. And I freely admit to reading about sheikh's and virgins and secret babies and all that crazy stuff.
Though honestly, I prefer the older, less formuliac books. '80's-90's are the best, IMO.

The new twin-cooled high output Twin Cam 103 engine is built to deliver more power for passing, climbing hills and carrying a passenger and luggage. There are new rear-to-front linked brakes for maximum stopping power. And the new Daymaker LED headlamp and LED fog lamps let you see farther than ever before. The new Boom Box 6.5 infotainment system features a 6.5 in full-color touch screen and the loudest, clearest speakers ever in a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. The luggage spaces have been redesigned with more space inside, a sleek new look outside and new latches that can be operated with one hand.

The Tri Glide Ultra Trike model is full of all the features that you want in your Trike motorcycle, including a 6 speed cruise drive transmission for low rpm at highway speeds and it is designed and built as a single unit.

Boyce, 200 IM Help Tigers Gain Slim Edge After Day 1 Of Ivy Championships
Senior Lisa Boyce opened her final Ivy League Championships in thrilling style Thursday night, winning her eighth individual title and guiding two relays to victories to send Princeton out to a 17-point lead in what promises to be a highly competitive championship meet.
While Boyce was part of half the championship efforts during the second session of the championship meet, being held at the Katherine Moran Coleman Aquatics Center in Providence, it was another event that gave Princeton a lead heading into the crucial second day. Princeton placed five in the championship final of the 200 IM, an event that earned the reigning Ivy champion 123 points.
Princeton will enter Friday's 11 am preliminary session with 441 points, while Harvard is just behind with 424 points. Yale is third with 351, while Columbia is trying to hold off Penn with 244 points, only one more than the Quakers.
Boyce was the first Tiger to hit the water during the finals session Thursday, as she led off the winning 200 free relay with a 22.29 split. The sophomore trio of Nikki Larson, Elizabeth McDonald and Morgan Karetnick finished off the win in a pool record time of 1:30.91, which was less than .2 of a second faster than Harvard.
The 500 free final turned into a thriller between the league's top two distance swimmers, Yale's Eva Fabian and Penn's Shelby Fortin. While Fortin led after the first 450 yards, Fabian came home in 27.31 to earn the win in 4:44.00. Fortin took second in 4:44.12. Princeton placed two in the top 10, led by Reese Iriondo, who took ninth in 4:49.81. Freshman Rebecca Fleming made her Ivy League debut with a 10th place finish in 4:51.27.
The 200 IM had a significant Orange and Black feel to it, as Princeton outnumbered the rest of the Ivy League 5-3 in the final. Columbia's Alena Kluge earned the win in 1:58.74, but it was Princeton that left with a huge point total. Freshman Olivia Chan placed second in 2:00.18, while sophomore Sada Stewart celebrated her birthday with a fourth-place time of 2:01.34.
The sophomore trio of Mallory Remick (2:01.78), Larson (2:02.09) and Beverly Nguyen (2:02.47) went 6-7-8 in the final, which sent Princeton back to the top of the standings.
Princeton had only one finalist in the 50 free, but Boyce made the most of it. She won her third straight 50 free title in 22.44, and she did so with both the fastest opening 25 and closing 25 in the field. Karetnick and McDonald were both scorers in the consolation final for the Tigers, who then turned their attention to the diving well.
Freshman Caitlin Chambers made her Ivy League debut with a third-place finish in the 1-meter final, scoring 270.00 points in the final. Senior teammate Emily Kaplan, in her first 'A' final, added a seventh-place finish with 250.90 points. Freshman Lisa Li also made her debut and scored 227.45 points to place 12th.
The session ended with the 400 medley relay, an event seemingly made for Boyce, who is the reigning Ivy League champion in both the 100 free and the 100 back. Boyce made her mark, but she didn't even do it in one of her strongest events. After Stewart and Chan handled the first half of the race, Boyce turned a deficit of more than two seconds into a lead with a 52.37 split in the fly. Larson finished the event off with a 50.06 split in the free to send Princeton to a pool record and victory in 3:38.33.

Inductions are always an exciting time at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, made even more so when a new inductee is in the house! Terry Sylvester, lead singer of 2010 inductees the Hollies, made an appearance on the Museum's Main Stage on March 10. Sylvester performed six songs, including Hollies' hits "Long Cool Woman (in a Black Dress) ," "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" and "Bus Stop." Inspired by the Rock Hall's featured Bruce Springsteen exhibit, Sylvester performed the Hollies' version of Springsteen's "The Fourth of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)." Sylvester reminded the enthusiastic mid-day audience that the Hollies recorded the first-ever cover of a Springsteen song with "Sandy," in 1975, well before Springsteen's break though into superstardom.
After his performance, Sylvester stopped by the Hall of Fame to check on the installation of the New Inductees exhibit. Sylvester handed over the acoustic guitar used on the Hollies 1974 hit "The Air That I Breathe" for the exhibit, giving me information about the guitar for the exhibit text. It's a curator's dream to have an exhibit donor at hand to provide pertinent details about the artifacts!
This year's group of inductees is eclectic and reflects the diversity of rock and roll. My fellow curator Craig Inciardi and I travelled to the U.K. to collect from the Hollies, ABBA and Genesis. I met with a representative of ABBA at the groups' touring exhibition, ABBAWorld, currently on display at Earls Court in London. I then traveled to Manchester to meet Hollies' drummer and group archivist Bobby Elliot. After securing the Genesis collection, Craig, who is based in New York City, collected artifacts closer to home for our Non-Performers – songwriters Otis Blackwell, Mort Shuman, Jesse Stone, and the Brill Building teams Jeff Barry / Ellie Greenwich and Barry Mann / Cynthia Weil. Craig also met with this year's Ahmet Ertegun Award recipient, David Geffen, in Los Angeles. Curatorial Director Howard Kramer didn't have far to travel to collect from Michigan natives, the Stooges. In fact, the Museum already had an impressive collection from the late Ron Asheton of the Stooges, which was donated back in 1997.
We make every effort to get our New Inductees exhibit installed in time for the induction ceremony. The exhibit is ready and opened during the Museum's Induction Ceremony Viewing Party. The balance of the exhibit will be opening the following week. We hope you'll join us in celebrating the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2010 Inductees!

Taking pictures with inaccurate exposure can result in pictures that are too bright or too dark. Often, you can dramatically improve a digital picture by correcting the brightness and contrast. You can use the automatic correction tool in Photo Gallery or adjust the exposure yourself.
Open Windows Photo Gallery by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, and then clicking Windows Photo Gallery.
Click the picture you want to correct, and then click Fix.
Click Auto Adjust.
Wait a few moments while Windows automatically corrects your picture's brightness, contrast, and colors.
Click Back to Gallery to automatically save the changes to your picture.
If you don't like the Auto Adjust results, click Adjust Exposure, and then use the Brightness and Contrast sliders to make the changes yourself. You can also click Undo to remove changes made by Auto Adjust.
If you increase or decrease the brightness, you will also usually need to increase or decrease the contrast by a smaller amount to make the picture look properly exposed.

For the Museum of Mathematics
Take an icosahedron, say one made out of something soft, like chocolate, and slice off each of the corners:
You get a structure called (rather prosaically) a truncated icosahedron. Here's one rendered in wood (by artist Ai Weiwei):
This structure is also known as a soccer ball:
Or as buckminsterfullerene:
Continuing the Buckminster Fuller theme from last time, today's column is devoted to notable truncated icosahedron constructions — this polyhedron has been used in an incredible variety of ways for decades.
First, there is the 1949 Autonomous Living Unit by Buckminster Fuller himself:
The great circles intersecting the faces of this structure make the truncated dodecahedron a bit hard to see, but it's there: one of the pentagons is front and center, just above the white prism that may serve as the unit's front door.
Second is the optional hub cap of the Pontiac Trans Am, model years 1971-76:
Third, featured at this year's New York City Maker Faire at the New York Hall of Science, was the rotating Happy Fun Ball by Rob Marshall:
And finally, perhaps the most dramatic truncated icosahedron (or pair of them) yet, is Leo Villareal's Buckyball, currently on display in Madison Square Park in Manhattan through 2013 Feb 1.
The striking edge lighting changes through a myriad of patterns:
It's auspicious that Buckyball, which links mathematics and culture, will be on display less than 200 meters from the National Museum of Mathematics when it opens soon as America's primary cultural institution centered on mathematics. We hope to see you in both places!

DCCC to host Central Piedmont Emergency Services College
Published: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 11:08 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 23, 2013 at 11:08 a.m.
Davidson County Community College will host its 29th Annual Central Piedmont Emergency Services College — an event that not only will help train and prepare those who serve in emergency services and public safety, but also will serve as a great opportunity for families to learn about fire education and safety prevention.
Classes will be held Feb. 15-17 at the DCCC Davidson Campus; family educational events will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Feb. 16 at the Public Safety Building parking lot.
Those who take part in the Emergency Services College will have the opportunity to select from a variety of classes related to firefighting such as firefighter I & II classes as well as specialty rescue and medical classes. Some of the specialty classes include hazmat level I, agricultural rescue, NIMS, wildland fire suppression, vehicle fire investigations, LP gas fires, thermal imaging, driver operator classes, hot topics by Bob Page and many more.
"Responding emergency personnel must be prepared to manage the different situations they encounter on the job. This can only be achieved through continuous training," says Dwight Freeman, fire and rescue coordinator on the DCCC Davidson Campus, in a press release. "Every effort is made to make the Emergency Services College a success by providing up-to-date instruction on current topics of interest and importance."
Also important is family safety, which is why the three-day event offers a day of activities for families to learn about the importance of fire safety and safety prevention. Some of the activities for families include the opportunity to ride the Operation Lifesaver Train; meet Smokey the Bear, Sparky the Fire Dog and Stormy (the DCCC mascot); climb aboard fire trucks, medical helicopters and ambulances; tour the Child Safety Trailer and State Medical Assistance Team Trailer; sit in the Walmart NO-ZONE tractor trailer; put out fires in the fire simulator; as well as have car seats checked and children's fingerprints taken.
"Our family educational events are also especially important," Freeman adds. "Not only do we want our emergency services and public safety personnel well-trained, but we want parents and children to learn important safety tips that could save their lives in emergency situations."
Courses for the Emergency Services College will be held on the DCCC Davidson Campus, located at 297 DCCC Road. Registration for classes is requested by Feb. 1.
In case of inclement weather, family educational events Feb. 16 will be held on the second floor of the Conference Center.
For additional information, registration forms and class listings, visit www.davidsonccc.edu/emergency-services-college, or contact Dwight Freeman at firstname.lastname@example.com or 224-4802 or Becky Daley at email@example.com or 224-4513.

Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
To Conduct Cellular Censuses Sequence Deeply...
Molecular diagnostic platforms firm Akonni Biosystems won a $280,784 grant from the NIH to fund development of a fully automated benchtop sample preparation system for isolating nucleic acids from lysis-resistant bacteria, such as Gram-positive staphylococci, streptococci, and mycobacteria, in complex clinical samples. The aim is to develop a system for research and eventually clincial use, that will provide a quicker, more efficient way to isolate nucleic acids for use in diagnosis, screening, and drug resistance/susceptibility testing.
Akonni is developing a suite of systems, kits, and reagents based on its multiplexed TruArray® gel-drop array technology. The firm already offers TruArrays for applications in nucleic acid testing, antibody immobilization for multiplexed immunoassays, peptide, enzyme and small molecule immobilization for drug discovery and spectroscopic studies, and cell or cell lysate immobilization for cellular and drug discovery applications.
The product family includes the TruTip kits for DNA and/or RNA extraction, which Akonni claims can generate inhibitor-free, PCR-ready nucleic acids in just four minutes, and is compatible with a range of automated systems (incuding the Hamilton Microlab®Star, and Eppendorf epMotion®), as well as on-demand solutions using single or multichannel pipettors, and OEM systems.
The latest NIH funding will support development of a new nucleic acid extraction platform that integrates the TruTip extraction technology with Akonni's MagVor mechanical cell lysis system. "This new platform will be compatible with a simple-to-use consumable kit and will be capable of purifying nucleic acid from 12 samples in less than 20 minutes, making it valuable to a broad range of molecular and hospital laboratories," states Christopher Cooney, Ph.D., director of engineering at Akonni.
The grant award comes less than a month after Akonni confirmed winning a a $498,780 Phase 2 SBIR Grant from the National Science Foundation to support continued development of its lab-on-a-film microarray consumable that can be manufactured using an highly automated, reel-to-reel production process.
