2014 UCLA Women's Volleyball Schedule | PDF Schedule
The home matches for this season's UCLA-USC rivalry have switched, with the September tilt now being played at Galen Center and the November contest taking place at Pauley Pavilion.
Originally, the Bruins were scheduled to host the Trojans on Tuesday, Sept. 23 at Pauley Pavilion and travel across town on Friday, Nov. 28.
Due to the Sunset Blvd. water main break on July 29, which caused flood damage to UCLA volleyball's two home venues, Pauley Pavilion and the John Wooden Center, the Bruins and the Trojans will switch home dates.
The Sept. 23 match at Galen will be televised live on Pac-12 Networks at 8 p.m., while the Nov. 28 contest at Pauley will air live on ESPNU at 8:30 p.m.
A decision as to the sites, as well as any potential dates and time changes, for the remaining nine UCLA home matches on the 2014 slate will be announced shortly.
The 2014 UCLA women's volleyball season kicks off with the Alumni Match on Saturday at Pardee Gymnasium inside the John Wooden Center. Admission to the match is free. Enter at the west doors of the John Wooden Center (Northwest corner) near the intramural field.

Added a product review for Urge Endur-O-Matic Open Face Helmet 12/28/2011 11:31 PM
The Good: Where do I start. Light, comfortable, cool, the vents look funky and actually work better then other similar priced lids. The colours are groovy, comes with two sets of pads, parts like new visors (see below) are easy to come by and I feel like I'm in the CHP. Most importantly I feel bloody safe in it for my sort of riding.
The Bad: In a high speed crash the visor shattered and took a little slice outta my nose. However, to be fair to the manufacturer, I had already cracked it showing my daughter how it folded in a crash. It was unbolted and I wasn't gentle.
Overall: I bought this as until the POC lids came on the market but they have lost themselves a customer. While there is not too much to protect in my melon this lid was well worth taking a punt on. It sits comfortably on my noggin and the protection down the back certainly doesn't impact on the cooling, particularly in New Zealand's muggy summers.

Jewish Hate Crime Via Maple Syrup Is Punished by Jon Lovitz
He's not laughing.
Bullying is alive and well, as evidenced by three vile teenagers who drew swastikas and the word "Jew" in maple syrup in front of a classmate's house in California. The classmate, however, happened to be a family friend of Jon Lovitz, who took to Twitter, disgustedly, to reveal — and eventually, permanently expel — the cruel clique. [The Inquisitr]

Hi, Everyone.
I registered for -- and received -- a Moby to use to "wear" DD around the house and on walks. The package was full of warnings, particularly for newborns and preemies.
Does anyone use a Moby for their LO? If so, at what age (or weight) did you feel safe using it? DD is in the 6lbs range and is 7 weeks actual. DH and I figured we'd return the product because I was so scared of the warnings. However, I really want to "wear" DD. If you don't use or like the Moby, what do you use for your LO?

Project Kahn introduces a new styling package dedicated to the Ferrari 458 Italia. Actually, this new package from the renowned English tuner consists of only a few cosmetic changes affecting the roof of the car, portions of the tail and the aerodynamic surfaces of the sides, all of which have been painted in matt gray to create a captivating contrast with rest of the bodywork. The forged alloy wheels - 21″ front and 22″ rear - are painted in matt Pearl Gray and hide the carbon-ceramic brakes and the yellow calipers.
Then there is another quite peculiar thing about it: fancy wheels aside, everything else is listed in Ferrari's catalogue. Just check the on-line configurator of the Italian manufacturer and you will see it for yourself. This makes the whole "styling package" idea offered by Kahn somewhat questionable, especially because the Tailor-Made program allows any potential buyer to customize every aesthetic aspect of the car - both inside and outside - as requested by the customer himself.
Well, at least Project Kahn has taken steps to increase the performance of the mechanical means by substantial changes … No, that's not even the case as the 458 Italia you see in these picture is completely "stock" in every component. Is this the most 'fake' Ferrari tuning package ever?

PLASMA version 2.0 has been released.
This release extends the functionality and robustness of PLASMA version 1.0 which was released in November 2008 as a proof-of-concept implementation of a linear equations solver based on LU factorization, SPD linear equations solver based on Cholesky factorization and least squares problem solver based on QR and LQ factorizations, with support for real arithmetic in double precision only.
PLASMA version 2.0 provides improved stability and performance along with the following new features:
Multiple Precision Support:
Real arithmetic and complex arithmetic are supported in both single precision and double precision. Only complex-double code is developed.
complex-single, real-double and real-single code is automatically generated from the complex-double reference implementation.
LAPACK Interface and Native Interface:
All computational routines are available in two versions. One accepts input matrices in LAPACK column-major layout, second
one accepts input matrices in tile layout, which is the native layout for PLASMA. The first option provides for convenience at the expense of translation overhead, the second one provides increased performance at the cost of ease of use. Conversion routines between the LAPACK layout and the tile layout are provided.
LAPACK-Compliant Error Handling:
The error codes returned by the computational routines with LAPACK interface follow LAPACK convention for both numerical errors, related to the numerical properties of the input matrices, as well as errors caused by illegal values of input parameters.
LAPACK-Derived Testing Suite:
The software is accompanied by a test suite derived from the one of LAPACK, which in an automated fashion generates thousands of calls, testing the software's behavior under normal conditions, as well as in the presence of illegal arguments and numerically deficient matrices.
Convenient Workspace Allocation:
Whenever possible, PLASMA allocates workspaces internally. In situations, where workspaces serve the purpose of passing data from one routine to another, e.g., from a factorization routine to a solve routine, PLASMA provides straightforward helper routines to take care of the allocations.
Thread Safety:
PLASMA is thread safe, which means that multiple instances of PLASMA can co-exist within the address space of a single process. In other words, a single process can create multiple threads and each of these threads can use an independent instance and change its settings without conflicts with other threads.
Mixed-Precision Solver Prototype:
A prototype of a mixed-precision solver based on the LU factorization is included. Currently, the implementation is not optimized for performance
and does not provide performance benefits over the fixed-precision algorithm. It is only included to demonstrate the technique.
PLASMA can be download from the software http://icl.cs.utk.edu/plasma/software/ section
of the PLASMA web site along with a Python installer to assist with the installation of PLASMA.
There is documentation http://icl.cs.utk.edu/plasma/custom/index.html?lid=124&slid=232 available and one
can use this forum for support.
Thank you for your interest from the PLASMA http://icl.cs.utk.edu/plasma/people/ development team.

To take a twist on Ovid: The result is visible, the cause may soon be known.
Green tea is under study for its potential to inhibit a deadly array of cancers — including leukemia, lung, prostate and breast cancer. But up til now, the mechanism behind these effects has remained shrouded in mystery.
Scientists in Japan may have found the answer to how green tea works. Their study suggests one of green tea's catechins (known as EGCG) actually binds to a receptor thought to be behind the spread of cancer. In an examination of human cancer cells in the lab, the malignant mechanism slowed considerably after exposure to a level of compounds available in two or three cups of green tea.
Obviously the myriad benefits of this beneficent brew have long been recognized, as aptly illustrated by the ancient Chinese proverb: Better to be deprived of food for three days, than tea for one.
For further reading, try this:
Green Tea May Keep Dentist Away
Could those green leaves of the camellia sinensis plant be a diet aid as well? Subjects in a small Swiss study burned an additional 80 calories a day by taking green tea extract, while another study done by the USDA found that those who drank five cups of tea (not green) a day burned almost 70 extra calories a day. Green tea is worth taking for its pleasure alone — but if you need to lose weight, well, every little bit helps!

At the beginning of the course you posted your vision of your workplace five years from now. In this essay you will extend your vision further into the future.
Based on the readings and discussions of this course, as well as any other readings you may have done on the topic, compose a two-page (double-spaced) essay on the information center of ten years from now. Keep in mind the discussion of future technology in Goleniewski's Introduction (required reading for the course and available through electronic reserve). This does not need to be your future workplace. For example, if you plan to be a school library media specialist you need not restrict your essay to the school environment. However, you would probably wish to visualize an information center within the United States unless you have extensive knowledge and experience of other countries.
What forms will information take in the future you envision? How will library staff communicate with patrons? What activities will likely take place within the library? What will those activities look, sound, and feel like? How will the new technologies envisioned by Goleniewski and others affect the way we get information to our users? How will they affect the way we define "information" in the future?
This is an assignment in which creativity is encouraged!
Bring a copy of your essay to class on the last day so that you may share your vision with your colleagues.
Send a word-processed version of your essay to your instructor via e-mail. (Manoa students may hand in paper copies to the instructor in the classroom.)

There are a lot of questions about how to implement factorization, however for production use, I would rather use an open source library to get something efficient and well tested right away. The method I am looking for looks like this:
static int[] getPrimeFactors(int n)
it would return {2,2,3} for n=12
A library may also have an overload for handling long or even BigInteger types
The question is not about a particular application, it is about having a library which handles well this problem. Many people argue that different implementations are needed depending on the range of the numbers, in this regard, I would expect that the library select the most reasonable method at runtime.
By efficient I don't mean "world fastest" (I would not work on the JVM for that...), I just mean dealing with int and long range within a second rather than a hour.

CES 2014 - We're hours away from CES 2014 now and we have a massive tease from NVIDIA, who is rumored to unleash a new GeForce GTX 790 GPU. Yes, a GTX 790, not the GTX 780 Ti, or TITAN, but a new, super-fast GPU.
The GeForce GTX 790 would feature an insane 10GB of GDDR5 RAM (5GB GDDR5 x2), 4992 CUDA cores (2496 x2), 640-bit memory (dual 320-bit), and two GK110 cores. If NVIDIA were to release this GPU, we could expect the high-end to really light up, blowing away all of the things AMD has tried to build up with its new Hawaii-based R9 290X GPU.

This is the superlative guitar designed by C F Martin's District Sales Managers, in flamed Hawaiian Koa wood and solid Italian Alpine spruce top, in a Geib #570 hard shell case. This guitar charms every person who has the honor of playing it. It rings and sings and sustains in ways other guitars can only dream of. It is an M, formerly known as Colonel Quadruple-O when it served in the French Foreign Legion, a fourteen-fret to the body cutaway. It is not ornate in the usual ways but timeless tastefulness is evident in every pore of its being.
If you're not familiar with this brand, McPherson guitars come with a trademark offset soundhole which enhances the sound by increasing the flexible surface area on the center of the top of the guitar. On the flip side you'll see a series of laminated braces which minimize the connection the underside of the top. The braces are allowed to vibrate freely by arching over or under the intersecting points on the top. The side braces are aligned with both the top and back braces to mechanically channel these vibrations around the entire body of the guitar. The end result is a sound that will shiver your timbres.
Boy, this one's for the history books. First of all Gibson just didn't make a lot of high-end mandolins in the last years of the Great Depression, first years of the War-nobody could afford em and few workers remained at the plant to get work done. F-4 mandolins like this are impossibly rare.
The OM-28 Authentic 1931 shares Martin's incredibly significant 14-fret neck Orchestra model innovation with its lengthened 25.4" scale and 1 ¾" neck width. Madagascar rosewood back and sides and Adirondack spruce with Martin's new Vintage Tone System (VTS) are used to replicate the aged appearance and tonality of the 1931 original. All other appointments and processes, including hide glue construction, hand shaping and assembly, and tucked under bridge plate and bracing, are completely faithful.
The Martin Retail Price is $8499
All in all this is a remarkably great sounding and loud mandolin. Sonically, on a scale from one to ten we think this is a 9.8! For performance, recording, or just for hugging all of the time to provide oneself comfort, this mandolin, like a fish to a peckish pelican, fills the bill.
Custom carbon fiber baritone guitar built by Emerald Guitar Company of Londonderry, Ireland. Traditional dreadnought body, all carbon fiber construction, transparent gloss black finish showing the diagonal weave of the carbon cloth, 27" baritone scale, 1-13/16" nut width, 2-5/16" saddle spacing, "classic" appointments (i.e., no fingerboard inlay, no rosette decoration), silver Emerald logo in headstock, black chrome 1:18 ratio Gotoh 510 tuners with black metallic knobs, black nut and saddle...
Allan Beardsell of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada has been making remarkable stringed instruments for a number of years now, and this is one of his classic designs. This model 4A later became his 4G, and from that sprang the smaller 3G model.
The Ed Sheeran X Signature Edition is the second Signature Artist Edition from multi-platinum singer/ songwriter and Martin Ambassador Ed Sheeran. Designed in collaboration with the team at Martin Guitar, this edition features Ed's Signature "X" (multiply) sign on the headstock and down the fretboard. The six times platinum-selling album's logo is inlayed in solid koa on a solid spruce wood top. The model comes stage-ready equipped with Fishman® Isys T electronics, Martin® SP Lifespan® strings and a padded gig bag.
This Style 2 shows WAY less than normal signs of use and wear but there are a few teeny chips around the headstock, with some pinpoint dings here and there. The instrument has received, at the hands of our professional luthiery lurkers, a proper "set-up" (adjustment, cleaning and restring). We will also be repairing 4 cracks on the back. This small but capable uke has power, projection and punch, even when played softly, and takes its rightful position as being one of the most desirable vintage ukuleles in our stable.
In spite of the changes made to the guitar that are considered less than ideal by vintage guitar lovers (please read full description by clicking on "more info" below), it sounds nothing short of phenomenal. It's got a boomy bass, crisp full mid-range and a crystal clear treble that can be so hard to come by with other more available rosewood varieties. We expect it to sound even better (not to mention easier to play) when the repairs have been completed by our dedicated (nearly fanatical) fangists. Without these changes, this 1936 D-28 might have sold today for $90,000! WAS $17,995 BUT NOW:
A bass for the performing artist. The BCPA4 features a sapele back and sides and a solid spruce top, a J-style cutaway body, and Fishman F1 Analog Electronics for deep, rich tone plugged-in or unplugged. A perfect marriage of upright and electric tone.
The small size of the Parlor belies its full and rich sound. A sound that Is characteristic of all RainSongs. Key to the big Parlor sound is the combination of a unidirectional carbon soundboard and hybrid body construction. The P12 features the 12-fret, short-scale NS neck.
The Goodtime Special Openback banjo produces a more powerful and brighter tone because it is made with their patented steel tone ring. This is the lowest priced Deering banjo made with a tone ring. The openback style makes it suitable for clawhammer or frailing styles of playing, while the increased brightness and volume is a wonderful surprise to players who play in the more traditional bluegrass style of play.
A marvel of scaled-down design, the GS Mini is a fun little acoustic cannon that has taken the world by storm. Sporting a rich, full voice that belies its compact size, the Mini is ultra-portable, yet just as comfortable to cradle in the comfort of your home, making it the ultimate modern-day parlor guitar. Featuring the Taylor NT® neck, the Mini comes with a solid spruce top.
The heralded Dreadnought is the most traditional of all acoustics. By definition, it's a battleship of a guitar, and the models in the non-cutaway DN Series pay tribute to that legacy — while also refining that potent sound. The Dreadnought's robust bass and articulate mids blend power and balance and dare you to dig in and challenge your flatpicking prowess. The sapele/Sitka spruce DN3 is an excellent choice for a great solid-wood dreadnought within a budget.
We present to you a superb sounding, beautiful instrument from Michael Lewis of Grass Valley, CA. This wonderful bluegrass tool is made with a spruce top, has a 1-2/16ths nut, flamed maple back, sides and neck, ebony fretboard, pickguard and tuning buttons, and full ivoroid-black-ivoroid binding on its front, back and headstock, and a gold plated "Lewis" logo hinged tailpiece. WAS $11,299 BUT NOW:
All Exotic Wood Series banjos are naturally colorful- no color staining needed. The rich hues of dark chocolate browns with black grain, the purples, the auburn reddish browns all make these banjos incredibly beautiful. Neck and rim bindings are hand made from the contrasting colorful woods adding an elegant look. The fingerboard inlays are simple cut diamonds in abalone, combined with the peghead inlays of the Balladeer.
In every way, this is a guitar for the consummate fingerstylist or rhythm keeper. This is a modestly sized instrument that can be the tympani in your philharmonic, or the continuo in your stringed musical ensemble. Its sound is boisterous and bold, felicitous and forthright; it is joyous to own, dazzling to play, thrilling to hear. When you are next passing by Staten Island on a breezy summer afternoon, you must stop in and try it. Or we can, of course, ship it to you.
Our price WAS $6299 but now:
This (probably) previously four-string has had a conversion to 5-string banjo by way of some ecumenical counseling and also the addition of a newer 5-string neck by Providence Guitar & Banjo. Said legendary banjo and neck maker was formerly of Rhode Island, and they stamped their logo on the back of the newer wood square dowel; we'd have preferred if they had left the original dowel. Its headstock tuners have large pearloid buttons.
We present a guitar that emanates from nearly the geographical center of Canada (in the southern tier, that is) that has such an incredible range of frequency, ease of use and level of acoustic transparency as to make our entire corporeal being encounter extended ecstasy and exhilaration. We are deeply in love, and being in love with a guitar is SO much simpler and uncomplicated than being in love with a biped. It responds to your touch, it purrs with emotional commitment, it yields to your every mood and desire. It restores your sense of all that is good in the world. NOW ON SALE! WAS $5775

Implementation of the new medical marijuana law in Massachusetts grows increasingly confusing. The companies that were granted preliminary approval of a license to grow and dispense medical marijuana are on hold as the Commonwealth and Department of Public Health sort out the apparently flawed decision-making process. Some of the bidders who were not granted licenses are crying foul and calling for a "do-over".
Three of the 20 licenses granted were awarded to companies connected to former state legislator William Delahunt, raising some serious concerns about cronyism. Other apparent flaws in the process are also being examined and may result in litigation. The Commonwealth has back-tracked stating that only "preliminary " approval has been granted.
In a recent development, a state judge decided that the licensing process, however flawed must move forward. A spokesman for the Commonwealth's Public Health Department said the organization was still checking the remaining 20 applicants, including background checks on anyone involved with the proposed dispensaries.
Law enforcement officials are trying to sort out who should be arrested for possession of marijuana. Although the new law states that someone may be allowed to possess and cultivate marijuana for their own use, with a doctor's note, there is no "official" form on which this note is to be provided. With a doctor's note, someone is supposed to be allowed to hold up to 10 ounces of weed for their own use. Previously in the Commonwealth, anything over an ounce would bring a criminal change. To complicate matters further, the federal government still considers possession and use of marijuana as illegal.
As many who forged absence notes from parents when in school, local police often are skeptical when someone in possession of a suitable quantity of weed produces a note, ostensibly from a doctor.
The law was passed last November and was supposed to go into effect January 1 of this year but a series of mis-steps by government officials has resulted in a de-facto postponement of the medical marijuana program planned in the law. Many people managing chronic pain and many others who just like the buzz are hoping this postponement ends soon.

Home Health Gateway Based on the Intel® Atom™ Processor: App Note
People are living longer, and the global population is aging, prompting the healthcare industry to consider new ways to extend care to the home and other residential settings. "We must rethink models of care that go beyond hospital and clinic visits, to home and community-based care models that allow for prevention, early detection, behavior change, and social support," says Paul Otellini, Intel president and CEO. One promising delivery model is based around telehealth, which creates an opportunity to reduce costs while giving patients more control over their own care in a convenient fashion. A key component of a telehealth solution is the home health gateway, an in-home patient device that allows clinicians to monitor patients and provide care remotely.
Healthcare solution providers can dramatically decrease the time required to design a home health gateway by leveraging an off-the-shelf gateway platform available from Avalue Technology. Based on the Intel® Atom™ Processor N270, this platform addresses many of the hardware design challenges facing equipment manufacturers, and at the same time satisfies key patient requirements. Foremost, the platform enables system designers to develop engaging and secure systems that maximize device interoperability and support an upgrade path for the future. The capabilities of the platform facilitate a device that is easy-to-use, makes two-way video calls, accesses medical data and information, and protects patient privacy. This paper describes a demo of a home health gateway that was developed by the embedded medical team at Intel to show how embedded Intel® architecture processors address the aforementioned design challenges and end user requirements.

NESHANIC STATION, N.J. - Incoming University of Oregon freshman Caroline
Inglis wrapped action Wednesday against many of the nation's top
players in the U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links Championship on the
Neshanic Valley Golf Course.
In the first round of match play, the Eugene, Ore., native and #57 seed was edged by #8 seed Annie Park of Levittown, N.Y., by a 6 and 5 count.
The 17-year-old Park took the first two holes by single-stroke margins with her birdie and par. After both players parred the third hole, Park also took the fourth and fifth holes with a par and birdie, respectively.
After Inglis tied her on holes #7 and 8 with par scores, Park won her sixth and final hole of the event with her par score on the ninth hole.
On the final four holes of their match-up, the duo tied with four straight par scores (#10-13).
Overall Inglis ended with nine par scores and four bogeys, while Park logged three birdies, 10 par scores, and no bogeys on the par-72 course.
Looking ahead, Park now faces #25 seed Sally Watson of Stanford in the round of 32 match on Thursday that starts at 4:50 a.m. PT. The latter player won in 19 holes over #40 seed Haley Stephens Wednesday morning.
Earlier in the week, Ingilis stood 54th (72-76-148) in the stroke play portion of the event.
On Monday, her even-par 72 score included two birdies (#4, #17), 14 par scores (#1, 3, 5-9, 11-16, 18) and two bogeys (#2, 10).
On Tuesday, she came back with an eagle (#7), one birdie (#16), 11 par scores (#1-3, 6, 10, 12-15, 17-18), four bogeys (#4, 5, 8, 11) and one triple-bogey (8).
In the overall standings, Lisa McCloskey (70-67-137) owned a one-stroke lead on the field with her seven-under overall score. Karen Cheng (70-68-138) and Steffi Neisen (70-68-138) followed one stroke back in a tie for second place.
Complete results are available at the www.USAGA.org website at the http://www.usga.org/ChampEventScore.aspx?id=17179869344&year=2012&type=stroke URL address.
Looking ahead to later in the week, a round of 16 will also be contested Thursday afternoon. Quarterfinal and semifinal matches will be held Friday, and the final follows on Saturday.

This past week on Anne Rice's Facebook page has run the gamut from anticipation of the announcement of the iconic author's new novel on March 9th during the internet radio broadcast of "The Dinner Party Show" hosted by Christopher Rice and Eric Shaw-Quinn to extreme grief over the personal losses of some of the "People of the Page".
In a phenomenon unique to the new 24 hr. social media and instant information world we now live in, grief can be felt by anyone and everyone who has ever shared a tweet, a post or a comment with the person who experiences the pain firsthand even if they've never officially met.
Ran Valerhon, talented artist and frequent contributor to Mrs. Rice page has lost his Mother this week. Even more shocking and tragic was the loss of indie YA author, Greg Wilkey's wife, Alicyn Melton Wilkey, the love of his life and his "Queen".
And, finally, Anne Rice herself was dealt a tragic loss with the passing of her brother-in-law, Clifford Borchardt.
As a community that was brought together by their mutual affection for the author and stays for the friendship, camaraderie and tremendous sense of belonging that Mrs. Rice's page provides, the weight of our friend's pain is palpable.
Yet, as they have proven in the past, the People of the Page have come together to offer their support, their prayers and their words of condolences in an effort to remind Ran, Greg and Anne that we are here, whenever you're ready, whatever you need.
It is always easy to say that these sentiments are insincere (as I have read in a couple of comments) or meaningless since they come from faceless names on a computer screen. But we have all in one way or another experienced grief and, at the very least, we can empathize with the pain they must be feeling.
The People of the Page have made the Anne Rice Facebook page a unique online place that continues to amaze, astound and inspire me.
Thank you all, on behalf of those grieving, for your continued support of our friends, online or in person.
Here is the press release for Anne's upcoming announcement. I hope you will all tune in:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - February 27, 2014
Literary Icon, International Bestselling Author Anne Rice Set to Unveil Title, Subject of Her New Novel
Literary icon and international bestselling author Anne Rice (the "Vampire Chronicles" series, the "Wolf Gift" series) is once again shaking up the literary community and fandom with a dramatic, live reveal of the title and subject matter for her new novel.
The unexpected announcement will be made Sunday, March 9th during "The Dinner Party Show," where she will be the featured guest for the hit internet radio program's weekly live cast at 8:00 PM ET/5:00 PM PT.
The announcement is being promoted on Twitter and Facebook with the hashtag #AnneRiceReveal.
"The Dinner Party Show" is the internet's first live comedy/variety show and is hosted by "New York Times" bestselling novelists Eric Shaw Quinn ("Say Uncle," "Star") and Christopher Rice ("The Heavens Rise," "The Moonlit Earth"), Anne's son.
Listeners can access "The Dinner Party Show" online by visiting its official website at TheDinnerPartyShow.com and clicking the media player (the black radio icon, upper left) or by downloading a free mobile app for Apple or Android devices.
With close to one-million Facebook fans, Anne Rice has built a formidable presence online and in social media. "My mother's Facebook page is covered by the world press, and her public statements about everything ranging from religious controversies to provocative news stories are routinely the stuff of headlines," says Christopher Rice. "On March 9th, she will reveal the theme and title of her next novel, and we're confident her legions of fans are going to be ecstatic about this change of course. Eric and I have been sitting on this for months and it's taken everything we have not to spill the beans. Or the rice, if you will."
In 2013, the International Thriller Writers declared Anne Rice a ThrillerMaster, in recognition of her legendary career and outstanding contributions to the thriller genre. On July 12th, 2014, Anne will travel to New York to present this year's ThrillerMaster to author Scott Turow at the annual ThrillerFest banquet.
For additional information, contact Benjamin Scuglia at email@example.com or Christopher Rice at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Kevin McBride held a media workout today in preparation for his April 9th fight against Tomasz Adamek. This is what he had to say:
"I've been doing what I have to do to get fit for 12 rds. I have a good team behind me. I want to show the world that I'm a contender. When I hit him on the chin he'll think the whole of Ireland was doing it. The best thing about it is the Polish People will be there to witness it!"
"I'm expecting a good fight. It's going to be exciting; the Polish and the Irish is a great combination. I'd love to see a few Irish there too, but a hostile crowd won't affect me at all. It was a hostile crowd when I fought Mike Tyson. With Tyson nobody gave me a chance, but I proved different. That's what I plan to do on the 9th of April."
"This is my last chance to show the world that I am a contender and I'll follow my dream to be the first Irish born Heavyweight Champion. I have a good team with manager Jerry Quinn & trainers Goody Petronelli who will be in my corner with Nirmal Lorick."
"Adamek was a great champion in light heavyweight and cruiserweight, but this is the heavyweight division. I know that one punch can do the job."
"There's only two ways that I could go out of the ring: the winner; or on a stretcher. There is only one man who could win that night and that is Kevin McBride."
The Adamek - McBride fight will be the main event on the April 9th card at Newark's Prudential Center. The card is presented by Main Events & Ziggy Promotions. Doors open at 6:45pm, first fight 7:00pm.
Tickets are priced at $253, $103, $78, and $53. Tickets are available online at www.ticketmaster.com, Charge-by-phone: 1-800-745-3000, Ticketmaster Express 866-448-7849 and Ticketmaster ticket centers. Tickets are also available at Prudential Center's Box Office.
Adamek vs. McBride will be distributed in the United States and Canada by Integrated Sports Media for live viewing at 9 PM/ET - 6 PM/PT on both cable and satellite pay-per-view via iN Demand, DIRECTV, DISH Network and Avail-TVN and Canada via Viewer's Choice, Bell TV and Shaw Cable PPV for a suggested retail price of only $29.95
After this win Adamek's grave digging crew will challenge the ghost of Max Schemeling to get ready to fight in Germany.
McBride did beat Mike Tyson six years ago and has gone 2-4 since so he is totally qualified to beat Adamek and then one of the K bros. Danny McBride has a better chance of winning this fight. After Adamek wins this one he should take on Ronnie from Jersey Shore in a blockbuster PPV. The Situation will distract the ref while Snooki enters the ring and does the knee against knee move that Radam has talked about. Ronnie upsets Adamek and goes on to a title fight. It could happen.
After using it i felt very good cause Autowired proved very effective for me. It is clean, simple, and does exactly what I need it to. I am preferring it to use to all of you.
Right after that happens, Cesar Romero rises from the dead to star opposite Christian Bale as Heath Ledger's grandpa Joker in the next Dark Knight movie. Let's put a smile on that face, Woooohahahahahaha!!!
mcbride is planning to raid the press buffet so hard he is going out in a diabetic coma, that is what he means...
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

On March 23, 2014 punk rockers Against Me! touring on their latest album Transgender Dysphoria Blues hit the stage at the Knitting Factory Concert House in downtown Reno.
Attendance for this Sunday night show was quite impressive with nearly 500 punkers showing up to get their socks blown off.
Also on the bill were folk rocker Laura Stevenson and American rockers Cheap Girls.
Against Me! is a punk rock band formed in Gainesville, Florida, in 1997 by singer and guitarist Laura Jane Grace. After releasing three studio albums through independent record labels, Against Me! moved to Sire Records for 2007's New Wave, which reached no. 57 on the Billboard 200. Their fifth album, 2010's White Crosses, was their most successful, reaching no. 34. In 2011 the band launched their own record label, Total Treble Music, through which they plan to release future albums.
In 2012 Grace publicly came out as transgender, beginning a transition to living as a woman and dropping the name Tom Gabel.
The band finished recording their sixth studio album, Transgender Dysphoria Blues, during the summer of 2013, and released it on January 21, 2014.
Current members include, Laura Jane Grace-(guitar, lead vocals), James Bowman-(guitar, vocals), Inge Johansson-(bass) and Atom Willard-(drums, percussion).
Having had never seen these guys (and now I guess gal) before, this examiner was very impressed with the high energy and great stage presence that this band has.
From the very first note of the first song, lead singer Grace had everyone there eating out of the palm or her hand. Although Grace still very much looks like a guy, you can see there is some change going on. From what this examiner could tell, nobody even cared, they came to rock and that's what they did. The band put on a fantastic show.
The set lasted around 90 minutes and went just like this, (from the set list on stage)
"F*ckMyLife666", "Cliché Guevara", "New Wave", "Walking Is Still Honest", "Unconditional Love", "I Still Love You Julie", "True Trans Soul Rebel", "Don't Lose Touch", "I Was a Teenage Anarchist", "Turn Those Clapping Hands into Angry Balled Fists", "Pretty Girls" (The Mover), "Transgender Dysphoria Blues", "Miami", "Rapid Decompression", "Dead Friend", "Thrash Unreal", "Black Me Out", "The Ocean", "Sink, Florida, Sink" and three encore songs, "Pints of Guinness Make You Strong", "Drinking With the Jocks" and "We Laugh at Danger" (And Break All the Rules).
Main support for Against Me! was folk and indie singer Laura Stevenson.
Laura Stevenson is an American singer-songwriter based in Long Island, New York, and formerly a keyboard player for the musical collective, Bomb the Music Industry!.
Current members are, Laura Stevenson-(guitar,vocals), Mike Campbell-(bass), Alex Billig-(accordion,trumpet), Peter Naddeo-(guitar) and Dave Garwacke-(drums).
Let me start by saying that Stevenson is way more beautiful in person than any photo that this examiner has ever seen.
She and the band really know how to please their audience with a very distinct sound that this examiner enjoyed very much. Everyone in attendance showed that they were very entertained by the applause they gave after every song. A very impressive set for sure.
Her set lasted 45 minutes and went like this, (also from the set list on stage)
"The Wait", "Triangle", "Runner", "Telluride", "Shine", "Peachy", "Claust", "The Healthy One", "Sink, Swim", "808" and "Master Of Art".
Not only is Stevenson very beautiful to look at, but she and her band put on a very good show, a must see.
Starting the night off were rockers Cheap Girls.
Cheap Girls is an American rock band from Lansing, Michigan currently signed to Xtra Mile Recordings.
The band was formed in 2007 and quickly began recording and touring, releasing their first album Find Me a Drink Home in 2008. Their second album, My Roaring 20's was released in 2009 and their latest album, Giant Orange in 2012.
They have completed tours with The Gaslight Anthem, The Bouncing Souls and now with Against Me! across the US and Europe. Their sound has been compared to The Replacements, Sugar, and early Smoking Popes.
Cheap Girls consists of brothers Ian Graham (bass, lead vocals) and Ben Graham (drums, back-up vocals), with Adam Aymor (guitar).
Their set lasted about 30 minutes and went like this, (again from the set list on stage)
"Slow Nod", "Gone All Summer", "Knock Me", "Hey Hey, I'm Worn Out", "Pure Hate", "No One", "Sleeping Weather" and "Ruby".
These guys really put on a great set, a perfect band to open the show. In this examiners opinion they could have gotten a little more stage time, they were pretty impressive to say the least.
All in all this was a great night of music, every band tore it up.
A great time was had by all.

It's possible that Jonathan Vilma's knee surgery will be just a minor bump in the road for the New Orleans Saints. "Clean-up" surgeries like the one Vilma is reportedly undergoing today in Philadelphia are fairly common in the NFL, and players can often come back close to 100 percent within a month or so.
But in Vilma's case, the news is a little more disconcerting since we didn't really know what his "100 percent" was going to look like this year in the first place.
The Saints have some decent depth behind starters Curtis Lofton and Vilma at inside linebacker - but it's more quantity than top-quality. The Saints' best chance of having some real star power at the weak-side position is for Vilma to return to form. And now that's an even bigger question mark than it was before.
Vilma is 31 years old and hasn't been fully healthy since the start of the 2011 season, when his knee problems began. As a result, he wasn't nearly as effective as usual in either 2011 or 2012. Back when we ranked him 18th on our NOLA.com top-25 ranking of the Saints roster this summer, we wrote that Vilma "might be the hardest player to rank" on the entire list.
I didn't expect Vilma to return to Pro Bowl form this year, but I was cautiously optimistic that he could show significant improvement after being healthy for a full year. And I took it as a great sign that the Saints plugged him into the starting lineup on the first day of OTAs and kept him there all summer.
Now, Vilma has one more hurdle that he has to overcome, since he's expected to miss the remainder of the preseason at the very least.
The bright side is that the Saints will get an extended look at their backup candidates over the next three weeks - though it hasn't been a very inspiring field of contenders up to this point.
Veteran David Hawthorne will get the first crack. Hawthorne had a very disappointing performance in 2012, when he also battled some nagging injuries after coming in as a free agent from the Seattle Seahawks.
Hawthorne has talked optimistically about feeling much better this summer, and now he'll get a chance to prove it on the field.
"I think I just took the approach (heading into this year) now that I'm healthy, let's show the reason why I'm here," said Hawthorne, who signed a five-year, $19 million contract with the Saints last year after three 100-tackle seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. "Every day I put on my hard hat and come to work, and everything else will take care of itself."
Clearly, it frustrated Hawthorne that he wasn't able to perform up to his own standard during his first year with the Saints. But he insisted that he remains "100 percent confident" in himself.
The Saints could really use a leap in production from Hawthorne to help them cover the edges in the run game - one of their biggest areas of weakness last year.
Behind Hawthorne, the Saints have several veterans battling for a roster spot - Ramon Humber (who has been backing up Curtis Lofton at the other inside linebacker spot), Chris Chamberlain and Will Herring. All three guys are more solid than spectacular, but they could certainly hold down the fort if Vilma is just out for a short period.
And one of the most intriguing young players on the entire roster is undrafted rookie inside linebacker Kevin Reddick from North Carolina. The 6-foot-1, 246-pounder hasn't been a "dynamic" player in training camp so far, partly due to the nature of his position. But Reddick has shown flashes of being a powerful "thumper" and seems to have a future for the Saints, whether it's this year or down the road.**************

text: Close Patriots-Jets Rivalry 0 0 0 More 0 0 0 View Gallery Next Previous Next AP Bill Parcells The Patriots and Jets have been competing against each other since 1960, but the rivalry really heated up during the week leading up to Super Bowl XXXI between the Packers and Patriots. New England coach Bill Parcells, whose contract would expire after the game, had been feuding with team owner Bob Kraft for much of the season over how much say Parcells would have over player personnel decisions. The Jets soon hired Parcells as a consultant and agreed to make his top assistant -- Bill Belichick -- the head coach. Kraft filed tampering charges against the Jets. Ultimately, commissioner Paul Tagliabue intervened, awarding four draft picks to the Patriots and allowing Parcells to coach the Jets immediately. 1|13 AP Pete Carroll After Bill Parcells left the Patriots for the Jets, New England hired Pete Carroll as its new coach. Carroll had spent one season coaching the Jets (1994), where he got off to a 6-4 start, but lost his last six games to finish 6-10. In three seasons coaching the Patriots, Carroll went 27-21 with two playoff appearances. 2|13 Walter Iooss Jr./SI, Bob Rosato/SI Curtis Martin After spending his first three seasons with the Patriots, Curtis Martin signed a $36 million, six-year offer sheet with the Jets. The Patriots failed to match the offer and received a first- and third-round draft pick as compensation. Martin would rush for 1,000 yards in each of his first seven seasons with the Jets and finish his career as the team's all-time leading rusher (10,302 yards). 3|13 AP Bill Belichick Belichick became coach of the Jets in 1999, after Parcells resigned to take over as GM. But during his introductory press conference, Belichick wrote on a sheet of loose leaf paper, ''I resign as HC of the NYJ'' and spent the next half-hour explaining his decision. He was hired as head coach of the Patriots several days later. The Jets filed tampering chargers and were granted a first-round pick as compensation. 4|13 Ezra Shaw/Getty Images Mo Lewis' hit on Drew Bledsoe No moment in Patriots history had a bigger impact on the organization than Mo Lewis' hit on Drew Bledsoe during Week 2 of the 2001 season. Second-year quarterback Tom Brady replaced Bledsoe and went on to become one of the NFL's all-time greats. 5|13 Bob Rosato/SI, AP Eric Mangini Eric Mangini began his career as a ball boy for the Bill Belichick-coached Cleveland Browns and later worked in the team's PR department. Belichick admired Mangini's work ethic and promoted him to help with the team's video scouting. He worked with Belichick at the Jets from 1997 to 1999 and then as New England's defensive backs coach from 2000 to 04 and as its defensive coordinator in 2005. After the 2005 season, Mangini was hired as the Jets' new head coach. 6|13 David Bergman/SI Deion Branch Before the 2007 season, the Patriots tried unsuccessfully to sign a new contract with top receiver Deion Branch. After the two reached a stalemate, the team traded him to Seattle and filed tampering charges against the Jets for allegedly engaging in contract discussions with Branch while he was still a Patriot. The NFL cleared the Jets of all charges. 7|13 AP Spygate The rivalry hit a new level after the first week of the 2007 season, when New York accused New England of illegally videotaping the Jets' defensive coaches' signals. The incident, better known as Spygate, cast doubts on the Patriots three Super Bowl victories and permanently tarnished Belichick's legacy. For the infraction, the NFL fined the Patriots coach $500,000, fined the team $250,000 and forced the Patriots to surrender their 2008 first-round draft choice. In 2008, former Patriots video assistant Matt Walsh (inset) sent eight videotapes containing opponents' coaches' signals from the 2000 through 2002 seasons to commissioner Roger Goodell. 8|13 David Bergman/SI, Heinz Kluetmeier/SI Brett Favre and Matt Cassel In Week 2, the Jets and new quarterback Brett Favre hosted the Patriots and their new starting QB, Matt Cassel, who was replacing the injured Tom Brady. Despite the mismatch in experience, the Patriots controlled the game and pulled out a 19-10 victory. 9|13 Peter Read Miller/SI Ty Law Before a Week 11 rematch in New England, the Jets signed former Patriot Ty Law to play cornerback. The Jets raced out to a 24-6 lead, but Matt Cassell connected with Randy Moss with one second left in regulation to force overtime. In the extra period, the Jets drove down the field and won on a 34-year Jay Feely field goal. 10|13 Rex Ryan and Bill Belichick After the Jets fired Mangini, the team hired the outspoken Rex Ryan to replace him. Ryan immediately embraced the rivalry, appearing on New York radio and saying, "I never came here to kiss Bill Belichick's, you know, rings. I came to win. Let's just put it that way. So we'll see what happens. I'm certainly not intimidated by New England or anybody else." In the three games the teams have played since Ryan was hired, the Jets have won two of them. 11|13 Hard Knocks In 2010, the Jets became the subject of HBO's reality series, Hard Knocks . The show, which was a huge hit, highlighted the boisterous Rex Ryan and his outspoken team. Not everyone was a fan, however. When asked about the show during a Boston radio appearance, Tom Brady said, "I hate the Jets. I refuse to support that show ... I'm sure it's great TV and I'm glad people are liking it. But that's something I have no interest in watching. I'd love to say a lot of mean things, too, but I'd rather not do that, either." 12|13 Danny Woodhead One of the most interesting plot lines of Hard Knocks was Danny Woodhead's quest to make the roster. The 5-foot-7 running back was a favorite of coach Rex Ryan, but there were lingering doubts about whether  he could be an effective player at his height. Though he made the roster out of training camp, he was waived by the team after Week 1. He was signed by the Patriots four days later before their game against the Jets. In nine games, he has accumulated over 550 yards of total offense and four touchdowns. 13|13 Next up More Sports Wilt Chamberlain scores 52 points in his first collegiate basketball game. 8 Back in Time: December 3 December 3, 2010 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 More Recommended Galleries NFL Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan poses with defensive end Mike Hartenstine (73), defensive tackles Dan Hampton (99) and Steve McMichael (76) during practice on Nov. 16, 1984 in Chicago.

If you thought President Obama's attempt to reform health care was offensive, believe me, you ain't seen nothin' yet. With every new mandate that's handed down from Washington one can't help but think Obama's agenda is to grow the federal government in its size, influence and power as fast as possible. Massive spending, blooming deficits, corporate hijackings, cap and trade, salary caps, Government Motors, the $800-billion stimulus bill, and that's just in the first year.
However, as the sun hopefully sets on Obama's health care reform, I fear that the next victim on the horizon of his unsustainable spending binge is our public schools via a little piece of legislation that has already been signed into law called, Race to the Top. It was the Department of Education's slice of the money pie hidden somewhere in the Recovery Act.
Race to the Top is the Obama Administration's reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1964. It is the latest attempt to solve America's public education woes and replaces President Bush's No Child Left Behind (NCLB) debacle. It is designed to redirect state regulatory efforts away from the more punitive aspects of NCLB and refocus efforts on four main objectives: tying teacher evaluations to student assessments, government interventions for failing schools, enhanced data systems, and national standards and assessments for all public schools.
So is Race to the Top the answer for Texas public schools or is it just another blatant power grab by Obama?
The responsibility for educating the populace is granted to the states and local governments by the 10th Amendment to the Constitution. However, one of the four objectives of Race to the Top is to establish federal control of local schools through National standards and assessments. In disregard to our Constitution, previous administrations have found ways to circumvent the intent of the 10th Amendment by withholding Federal Funds from states who refuse to "volunteer" for certain initiatives like Race to the Top.
During these difficult times where states are in dire financial straits and governors are willing to sell their grandmother for a little extra cash, it becomes impossible for states to forgo federal funding that will help balance their budgets. So, Obama, being the great intellectual he is, steps up to the plate and entices governors with borrowed money from China to help push through his agenda to grow the federal government. Wasn't it Rahm Emmanuel, White House chief of staff, who said "You never let a serious crisis go to waste...it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."
But the most troubling aspect of Race to the Top is that it's a perfect example of the tail wagging the dog.
In the United States today, we will spend almost $550 billion on education. However, the federal government's share of that burden adds up to be only seven cents for every dollar spent. That's right...seven measly cents. So why in the world should we allow bureaucrats in Washington dictate what is taught to our children? And don't try to tell me that the federal government will do a better job because we all know that just isn't true.
Since the ESEA was passed in 1965, which began the federal government's encroachment into our local schools, student performance has gradually declined along with SAT scores. And the last time I checked, the Department of Education has yet to teach a single child anything in the past 30 years.
To date, 41 states have given into the coercion from the federal government and completed the first phase for enrolling into the Race to the Top. The good news is that Texas is not one of them. Gov. Rick Perry has refused to hand over the educational system of Texans to Obama.
He said, "Texas is on the right path toward improved education, and we would be foolish and irresponsible to place our children's future in the hands of unelected bureaucrats and special interest groups thousands of miles away in Washington, virtually eliminating parents' participation in their children's education."
I couldn't agree with you more, governor.
President Obama has clearly proven that we should never assume he has Texas' best interest at heart. Because when it comes to the education of our children there is one underlying fact that cannot be ignored. Hitler knew it. Stalin knew it. Even Pol Pot knew it. But it was Vladimir Lenin who said it best, "Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted."
What seeds will President Barack Obama plant into our children if the federal government is allowed to dictate to states what is taught?

Yum!I got hooked after a friend slathered some on my arms. Use sparingly, a little goes a long way. I like this better than the perfume because it's a bit lighter and doesn't hit you in the face when it's too hot to be wearing perfume. (and you know who you are, you summer time perfume maiancs!) The scent hangs around for hours, it doesn't dissipate after a few minuets and around Christmas time yo...read moreu can get the gift boxes at drug stores for the price of one bottle of lotion--or less. Have had the same bottle for two years and it's only half empty. Sample it for yourself. It doesn't have an "old lady" or "too young" fragance.

College Hockey:2002-03 Brockport Season Preview
It's Been A While
February 15, 2000, to be exact. That was the last time that Brockport won a league game. Since then, it has gone 0-25-3 in SUNYAC regular-season play (and 0-1-1 in the playoffs right after that last win).
With that kind of streak, you set modest goals.
Brian Dickinson told his players, "Let's take it game by game, and not worry about where we end up at the end of the season. We need to put the past behind us."
A Veteran Team
This is a team that will have plenty of senior leadership, nine all together, with 21 players returning. Leading that contingent will be captains Dave Braunstein, a forward, and Nate Vankouwenberg, a defenseman. This means that there are a lot of folks that will be looking to rid themselves of winless records. To do that, they will need to make improvements in a lot of areas.
Though Brockport lost top scorer Darren Kennedy (11-7–18) to graduation, the biggest help on offense should come from its veterans, Nick Smyth, Mark Digby, Brian Bauman, and Braunstein. Newcomer Mike Blais, originally from St. Michael's, should also make a contribution.
Last year's midseason transfers, Ron Lien, originally from New England College, and the Stasko twins, Peter and Paul from Geneseo, were immediate hits on the ice. This year, they will be looked upon to play different roles, and may not see the scoring output from a year ago.
The key will be an early start. Brockport scored just four conference goals in the first period last year.
But First, Stop The Puck
More importantly, the Golden Eagles will need to worry about defense, or it may not matter how many goals they score. They ranked last in the league, and except for Buffalo State, nobody came close to letting the puck into its net as many times as Brockport.
It will all start with goaltending and a pair of seniors, Brian Tefft and Steve Tippett. Tefft emerged as the starting goaltender last season, but this year the plan is to alternate them game by game. Tefft will be the Friday goalie while Tippett becomes the Saturday netminder.
Explains Dickinson, "We wanted to loosen them both up, so that they didn't have to worry about winning the number-one spot. They could just worry about getting themselves into game shape."
Those goalies would sure like the guys in front of them to help out. Leading that effort will be VanKouwenberg, Brian Rochford, Kevin Graber, Chris Christensen, Ryan Shannon, and Casey Firko. Junior college transfers Mark Utzig and Sean Wheeler will be expected to contribute.
They also need to stop the power play, which they were only able to do 75% of the time last season.
Taking It Easy
Outside of SUNYAC play, Brockport has lined up a relatively easy schedule.
Nothing wrong with that. There is the old philosophy that nothing is better for morale than winning. And winning is winning, no matter who it is against. The Golden Eagles hope it is against the likes of Neumann (twice), Salve Regina, Curry, Stonehill, Plymouth State, and Framingham State. They only have two ECAC West opponents to face, Hobart and Utica.
"It's been a long time," Dickinson said in an understatement. Which is why winning in its own league will make Brockport the happiest.
