Before the match, they aired a Hall of Fame video package and brought out the inductees, with Ultimate Warrior getting his own standalone entrance, theme music and center stage.
They then aired an Undertaker Streak video package and an Undertaker-Lesnar hype video.
The Undertaker versus Brock Lesnar (with Paul Heyman)
Twenty two coffins are laid out on the stage for Undertaker's offense. Undertaker came out with an understated entrance for him and was back to the Texas Outlaw look. The coffin marked for Lesnar lit into flames when Undertaker pointed at it. The entrance was extra long, however.
A staredown started things and the two men traded punches. Lesnar with an overhead beal and a clothesline over the top. Undertaker landed on his feet. With Undertaker back on the apron they traded punches. On the outside he rammed Lesnar to the post and back into the ring.
Taker looked for Old School but Lesnar stopped it and laid in the blows. Lesnar missed a charge and hit the post. Back on the outside, Taker sent Lesnar to the steps and the barricade. Taker with the trademark apron legdrop. Back in, Taker with Snake Eyes and looked for a chokeslam. Lesnar popped out and into a F-5. Taker pushed him into the corner and missed a kick in the corner.
On the outside, Lesnar wrapped the right leg around the post. Lesnar with big punches. Undertaker responded. Lesnar with a single leg on the ringside floor. Back in, Lesnar worked over on the leg. Lesnar with methodical offense. On the outside, Taker tried to walk it off but Lesnar kept on him. Taker with a wild right hand. Lesnar responded with a shot into the barricade.
Back in, more slow, methodical offense from Lesnar. Lesnar whipped him into the ropes but Taker responded with a DDT. Taker with a boot and punches. Taker with shots to the corner. Taker with Snake Eyes and a high boot to the face. Big leg drop for two. Taker with a chokeslam for a long two. Taker looked for a Tombstone and Lesnar hit a F-5 for two.
Taker with Hell's Gate. Taker with a lifting slam to break the hold. Taker crawled up the ropes but Lesnar drug him back out the middle, Taker went for Hell's Gate once again. Lesnar with a powerbomb again to break it.
Lesnar locked in a kimura. Taker reversed it into his own kimura. Lesnar got the ropes. The two traded blows in the corner. Taker went for Old School again but Lesnar hit the F-5 for a solid two count. Lesnar with a German suplex. Lesnar kept control with shots in the corner. Lesnar with mounted punches, which led to a weak Last Ride.
Lesnar back up and Taker dropped him with a bad looking Tombstone. Taker kipped up and went for another Tombstone. Lesnar popped out of hit a third F-5. And he got the pinfall.
WINNER – Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar just ended The Streak. The crowd went to a white hot dead silence. The silence and looks on the faces of the crowd was a sight to behold. Yours truly even lost it live in my living room. That was a WrestleMania moment if I ever saw one. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it with my own eyes. The crowd was a dead quiet shock, unlike anything I had ever seen in a WWE ring. Even the announcers laid out and let the silence speak volumes.
Undertaker got all of the time he needed to get up. He got a standing ovation, heroes welcome from the crowd and standing ovation from all three announce teams. The cameras followed Undertaker take the long walk up the ramp with a spotlight following him.

Hopefully lessons can be learned from catastrophic events and such is the case after Hurricane Katrina slammed New Orleans. It was realized afterward that most all the street signs were either damaged or lost and emergency vehicles could not identify where they were in the debris filled streets of New Orleans.
With that in mind, the St. Augustine Police Department (SAPD) requested that the Public Works Department (PWD) investigate the installation of permanent street markers to be placed in the roadways in various locations throughout the city. And the SAPD installed a professional weather station at the St. Augustine Police Department located at 151 King St. The markers were considered Phase 1 and the weather station, Phase 2, to make the City of St. Augustine safer especially during hurricane season.
After researching the available options for permanent street markers, the PWD and the SAPD chose thermoplastic street markers. The thermoplastic signs are visible to vehicles, reflective, will not become a 'trip or slip' hazard to pedestrians and will not damage the city street sweeper. Cost was also a factor and it was determined that the signs fell in the moderate range compared to other options.
A couple of months ago the PWD installed a sample thermoplastic street marker in the roadway at the intersection of Riberia and King streets and placed it purposely in the wheel path of the travel lane. The specific placement was so that it would be run over more than normal and receive intense usage over a short period of time. Pleased with the results on how well the thermoplastic signs worked, the city ordered 35 signs. The signs in the roadway will be placed in specific areas throughout the city limits.
The approximate total cost to the city is less than $5,000 plus staff time to install the signs. After an intense storm of any kind, emergency vehicles and non-local workers will be able to respond faster and more accurately to assist the residents of the city regardless of whether the vertical street signs are visible.
The second phase to make the city safer was the installation of a professional weather station located at the St. Augustine Police Department. Now, city residents and visitors alike can get up to date, real time weather information in order to make decisions about what they need to do during an approaching storm.
Utilizing grant funding, the SAPD installed a Davis Vantage Pro 2 weather station at the beginning of the hurricane season and linked the station to the internet via the website Weather Underground. Their site can be found at www.wunderground.com. Anyone can download the data by clicking on to the site and then the weather station box and scrolling down to KFLSTAUG9. This information is available 365 days of the year. You can also view weekly and monthly data.
For further information on the roadway signage call the Department of Public Works at 825.1040 and for information on the weather station, call Commander Steve Fricke at the St. Augustine Police Department at 825.1074.

Oh man, I am angry! Long newspost warning!
So today while I was drawing the comic my good buddy
this Wired article
in the IRC channel. It starts off with a rant about mp3s that would have been stale coming from your grandma five years ago ("90,000 mp3s? WHY ON EARTH WOULD ANYBODY NEED THAT MUCH MUSIC??? GET A LIFE").
But the REALLY GOOD part comes in the next section of the article, where he talks about how
Gene Yang's
acclaimed graphic novel American Born Chinese apparently doesn't deserve to be nominated for a national book award...
because it's a comic
My favorite quote is this:
"...as literature, the comic book does not deserve equal status with real novels, or short stories. It's apples and oranges."
He then goes on to say:
"If you've ever tried writing a real novel, you'll know where I'm coming from. To do it, and especially to do it well enough to be nominated for this award, the American equivalent of France's Prix Goncourt or Britain's Booker Prize, is exceedingly difficult."
Thereby implying that writing a graphic novel is somehow easier than writing a "real" novel.
It is precisely this kind of backward, ignorant stereotyping that has plagued comics for far too long. Claiming that a graphic novel, no matter how good, is inherently inferior to a prose work and thereby doesn't deserve to be nominated for book awards (to say nothing of the precedent set when Maus won a Pulitzer) is not only ignorant, but demonstrates an utter lack of understanding of the National Book Award's nomination standards. You'll notice that it's the National BOOK Award, not the National NOVEL Award- there is nothing there which makes a disctinction between prose and graphic storytelling. Nowhere in the
entry guidelines
does it say anything about graphic novels being inadmissible, and clearly the fact that they
nominated one
would indicate that the judges find graphic novels admissible. This is shoddy reporting at best and a willful insult to Gene Yang at worst.
Of course, this guy isn't a REAL journalist. I mean, he publishes articles on the INTERNET. It's apples and oranges! And if you've ever tried writing a REAL piece of journalism, you'll know where I'm coming from. It's exceedingly difficult.

Reviews for Tuna Caesar Sandwiches
"Great tuna sandwich"
"I was concerned at first about a couple of the ingredients but the taste was wonderful and very light and cool. Would be a great summer lunch or picnic sandwich!"
"During the Lent season, it is often difficult to find (good) recipes containing fish; as practicing Catholic abstain from meat on Fridays. This recipe is so simple and yet filling :) Happy Eatings!"
"I had all the ingredients and made this today for myself and a couple other friends - it's good! I keep a few cans of "light tuna." Light tuna isn't light in calories, but it's light in mercury content. Go to any search engine and look up tuna, unfortuately it's true that tuna contains mercury, but light tuna has less. Look it up to be assured - there's so many tuna recipes here, wish I could have tuna everyday!"

Bolivia and the IMF
The IMF's Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF) -- A Factsheet

IMF Approves Second Annual PRGF Loan for Bolivia
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) today approved the second-year program for Bolivia under the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF)1 in an amount equivalent to SDR 33.6 million (about US$46.1 million) to support the government's economic program.
Bolivia's three-year program, originally under ESAF, was first approved on September 18, 1998 (see Press Release 98/41), in an amount equivalent to SDR 100.96 million (about US$138.5 million), of which SDR 33.65 million (about US$46.2 million) has been disbursed. Today's decision provides Bolivia with another SDR 33.6 million to be disbursed in three equal tranches of SDR 11.2 million (about US$15.4 million), the first of which is available immediately.
In commenting on the Executive Board discussion on Bolivia, Stanley Fischer, First Deputy Managing Director, said:
"Bolivia is to be commended for its solid policy track record since 1985, which has made it possible to lower inflation to industrial country levels while strengthening the external sector. Economic growth has averaged four percent a year during the 1990s, despite adverse external shocks. However, improvements in poverty and social indicators have been more modest. The slowdown in economic activity in 1999, resulting from the regional financial crisis and the weakness in international commodity prices, has posed a difficult challenge to Bolivia, and the authorities are to be praised for their successful efforts to maintain sound macroeconomic policies and progress in the implementation of structural reforms.
"The authorities' economic program for 2000 will be supported by the second annual arrangement under the current three-year PRGF commitment, which calls for the continuation of good macroeconomic policies, deepening of structural reforms, and a strengthened commitment to step up the fight against poverty. Under the program, the authorities will maintain the public sector finances on a sound basis, and the fiscal framework should embed the fiscal costs of the needed social outlays," Fischer said.
Program Summary
Although output growth slowed in 1999, Bolivia has weathered the downturn in the Latin America region well. The authorities reacted appropriately to a revenue shortfall by cutting outlays from budgeted levels, maintained a prudent monetary policy stance, and firmly and effectively resisted strong pressure from the private sector to raise external protection and to introduce relief on tax and interest obligations. Inflation declined to 3.1% in 1999.
The program aims at containing inflation in 2000 within a range of 4-4.5% and achieving a small increase in net official international reserves, while allowing a modest widening of the external current account deficit to 6.8% of GDP as the economy recovers and imports increase. Output growth is expected to pick up to about 4%.
The overall deficit of the combined public sector (after grants) is projected to narrow to 3.7% of GDP in 2000 (which would be equivalent to a small surplus excluding the cost of the pension reform) from 4.2% in 1999. The fiscal program aims at a slight improvement in the revenue-to-GDP ratio of the general government. Achievement of the fiscal objective for 2000 will require significant efforts on both the revenue and expenditure sides, which include a reform of customs; the strengthening of the legal base for tax enforcement through a new procedures code; a tight lid on current expenditures, including the wage bill; and a close monitoring of developments in local and regional governments in relation to debt and debt-servicing limits.
The authorities intend to deepen structural reforms in 2000, and the main actions to be undertaken involve completing the privatization program, improving transparency and modernizing the tax system and labor regulations. The remaining assets of the oil company YPFB, which include storage and distribution facilities and service stations, are to be privatized in 2000.
The authorities recognize that, although they have intensified their efforts in the fight against poverty in recent years, much remains to be done. The strengthening and refocusing of the antipoverty efforts will involve a national dialogue with civil society during the first half of this year. Among other already-planned actions, the authorities intend to ensure an adequate budgetary reallocation mainly to the health and education sectors; adopt policies specifically designed to the needs of the Altiplano and other poverty-stricken regions—such as alternative crop development in areas previously dedicated to coca cultivation; and ensure better domestic and international transportation links to facilitate export growth. The authorities also intend to request additional debt relief under the enhanced HIPC2 initiative.
Bolivia joined the IMF on December 27, 1945; its quota3 is SDR 171.5 million (about US$235.3 million). Bolivia's outstanding use of IMF credits totals SDR 180.0 million (about US$246.9 million).
1On November 22, 1999, the IMF's concessional facility for low-income countries, the Enhanced Structural Adjustment Facility (ESAF), was renamed the Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility (PRGF), and its purposes were redefined. It is intended that PRGF-supported programs will in time be based on country-owned poverty reduction strategies adopted in a participatory process involving civil society and development partners, and articulated in a poverty reduction strategy paper (PRSP). This is intended to ensure that each PRGF-supported program is consistent with a comprehensive framework for macroeconomic, structural, and social policies to foster growth and reduce poverty. At this time for Bolivia, pending the completion of a PRSP, a preliminary framework has been set out in a interim PRSP, and a participatory process is under way. It is understood that all policy undertakings in the interim PRSP beyond the first year are subject to reexamination and modification in line with the strategy that is to be elaborated in the PRSP. Once completed and broadly endorsed by the Executive Boards of the IMF and World Bank, the PRSP will provide the policy framework for future reviews under this PRGF arrangement. PRGF loans carry an interest rate of 0.5 percent a year, and are repayable over 10 years with a 5 ½-year grace period on principal payments.
2The HIPC Initiative entails coordinated action by the international financial community, including multilateral institutions, to reduce to sustainable levels the external debt burden of heavily indebted poor countries that pursue IMF- and World Bank-supported adjustment and reform programs, but for whom traditional debt relief mechanisms are insufficient.
3A member's quota in the IMF determines, in particular, the amount of its subscription, its voting weight, its access to IMF financing , and its allocation of SDRs.

Read 1 verified patient review for Brooks Hearing Clinic - Mount Pleasant! Their review score was 4 () from 1 review.
"A story of redemption....Upon my first visit, it turned out that the new office assistance had not put my daughter's appointment down. The appointment was an infant and they didn't have the proper equipment in the office that day, so unfortunately I had to be rescheduled. Since I had taken time off work and had to drive 35 minutes to get to their office, I was none too pleased to say the least, but they were clearly sorry about the inconvenience and I could tell from their response it wasn't something that typically happened. A week later I got a nice apology card in the mail, and the following week was my new appointment. This time the appointment was seamless. They made an extra effort to ensure there were no snags, were very sweet with my daughter, and had us in and out in 20 minutes. I have to say that they redeemed themselves despite the initial mistake and I would be happy to go back again."

Clinic services
Our expert staff of AudigyCertified™ professionals provide services to those from newborn to over a hundred years old. These include basic behavioral tests and sophisticated computerized otoneurological evaluations. When appropriate, the latest digital hearing aids may be utilized to help compensate for a hearing impairment.
If a hearing loss is suspected, an appointment with one of our licensed hearing professionals should be made for the purposes of testing and evaluation.
After the age of 50, a regular hearing test should be considered as important as one's yearly physical checkup.
Testing is painless, comfortable and safe. Basically, it consists of answering questions about your hearing health, recognizing everyday words at different volume levels, and identifying different sounds.
Your ability to hear each tone, or frequency, produces a unique hearing pattern which is recorded on an audiogram.
The test is completed in a sound booth using earphones and bone conduction oscillator. Your professional then uses the audiogram to determine the type and severity of hearing loss. These tests should help determine whether a hearing loss is best treated medically or with hearing aids.
Hearing Aids
All patients undergo a comprehensive hearing exam prior to receiving hearing aids to determine the cause and extent of the loss. A detailed case history is also completed. Once a patient becomes a candidate for hearing aids based upon their hearing handicap all options are discussed with the patient including style of the hearing instrument and technology level required to meet their communication goals. The hearing aids are then programmed to match their unique hearing loss. All patients are instructed on use and care of the hearing instruments and follow-up tests are performed to assure optimal programming of the aids.
Hearing Aid Checks and Servicing
The cornerstone of our customer service is the follow-up our patients receive once fit with hearing aids. Most patients initially require 2-4 office visits to understand how to once again listen and how to take care of their new hearing aids. Subsequent hearing aid adjustments or trouble shooting is always available at no charge for the life of the hearing instruments. In fact, most patients can be seen for hearing aid related problems the day they call. In addition, all patients receive our quarterly newsletter to keep them informed of the latest research into hearing disorders and technological improvements. Finally, all patients are scheduled for an annual hearing exam to retest their natural hearing and quarterly clean and check of their hearing aids – all at no cost.
Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs)
When a patient has a hearing loss sometimes an assistive listening device (ALD) is required in addition to or instead of a hearing aid. ALDs can be amplified telephones, TV enhancers, visual smoke and doorbell alarms and a variety of other items designed to keep the hearing impaired in touch with their environment. We have a number of these items in our office for demonstration where their benefits can be quickly observed. Because this technology is so quickly evolving we always have access to the latest information and can special order any ALD.

Triple H held a "team meeting" at last week's WWE NXT tapings from the campus of Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida. We're told Hunter basically "berated" a lot of the developmental talent, telling them if they didn't want to be there they could leave and would be granted their release. Apparently this drew a lot of confusion amongst talent as morale had been "pretty good" lately and Hunter's speech seemed to have come out of nowhere.
Triple H also told talent that some more releases could be on the horizon and anyone that bad mouthed the company on Twitter after being released would never be brought back. He talked specifically about guys getting let go on good terms only to return later. Hunter stressed the importance of staying on good terms with WWE, even if you end up losing your developmental deal.
Richard Reacts: Triple H's meeting seems to be a reaction to Derek Foore (f/k/a Chad Baxter), who is threatening to sell a copy of his contract and has made other claims against management. I do not believe my source was informed of that story.

Experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) represents a Th17 T cell-mediated mouse model of postinflammatory heart disease. In BALB/c wild-type mice, EAM is a self-limiting disease, peaking 21 days after alpha-myosin H chain peptide (MyHC-alpha)/CFA immunization and largely resolving thereafter. In IFN-gammaR(-/-) mice, however, EAM is exacerbated and shows a chronic progressive disease course. We found that this progressive disease course paralleled persistently elevated IL-17 release from T cells infiltrating the hearts of IFN-gammaR(-/-) mice 30 days after immunization. In fact, IL-17 promoted the recruitment of CD11b(+) monocytes, the major heart-infiltrating cells in EAM. In turn, CD11b(+) monocytes suppressed MyHC-alpha-specific Th17 T cell responses IFN-gamma-dependently in vitro. In vivo, injection of IFN-gammaR(+/+)CD11b(+), but not IFN-gammaR(-/-)CD11b(+), monocytes, suppressed MyHC-alpha-specific T cells, and abrogated the progressive disease course in IFN-gammaR(-/-) mice. Finally, coinjection of MyHC-alpha-specific, but not OVA-transgenic, IFN-gamma-releasing CD4(+) Th1 T cell lines, together with MyHC-alpha-specific Th17 T cells protected RAG2(-/-) mice from EAM. In conclusion, CD11b(+) monocytes play a dual role in EAM: as a major cellular substrate of IL-17-induced inflammation and as mediators of an IFN-gamma-dependent negative feedback loop confining disease progression.

Review: Linux Mint 18 (Sarah)
If you were looking to jump the Ubuntu ship completely, then we recommend taking a look at our recent Review of Fedora 24. It's equally as good as Mint 18 and equally worthy of your consideration. Between Linux Mint 18 and Fedora 24, we reckon it's exciting times in the Linux world. With the exception and onset of the boring world of vanilla Ubuntu releases, Linux feels reinvigorated and fresh once again. Jump on board, because it can only get better from here.

We come to the end of the series as Blade confronts Frost for one final battle. Not surprisingly, this episode is focused largely on action as opposed to character or story advancement.
It's a mixed bag as some of the action works and some of it doesn't. Frost unveils his new breed of vampire and they don't really end up posing much of a threat. Really, beyond being immune to sunlight, the one edge they have is that they can shed a layer of skin to reveal another layer of red skin. After that, they die as easily as any other vampire mook. It's strange as this evolution was supposed to be the turning point in Frost's war, but as Blade points out, they're still vulnerable to silver. Frost shrugs it off, but it makes the entire driving force behind his quest rather pointless.
Kikyo shows up again to offer some assistance. While he never confronts Frost directly, he does fight a tentacle worm creature. It could have been a good fight, but even Kikyo ponits out that it doesn't really have a chance unless it can regrow heads like a Hydra, which it can't.
While he had motivation enough to show up after being turned down by Frost, I did get a kick out his "I'm the only one allowed to kill you" line that he gave to Blade upon arriving. It's an oddly fascinating mindset and while it shows up frequently, it never seems to get old.
Of course, Blade wins the day and Mokoto is avenged. Though not before Frost gets some taunts in about it. While this show had several flaws, Frost as a villain was always one of its strong points and he doesn't disappoint here. Even his standoff with Blade is at least somewhat satisfying as A: we actually get to see the fight as opposed to still shots and B: Frost actually delivers a pretty solid beat down before he's defeated. It helps sell the idea that Blade is in trouble and makes the climax feel that much bigger.
When asked what he's going to do next, Blade just points out that there are still vampires out there, so the adventure continues. Speaking of which, whatever happened to the vampires who were attacking the council? That plot point didn't really seem to go anywhere. I guess they all died when the magic water rained down, or when the sun came up. I suppose either one works.
It feels good to finally put this show to bed. It took a lot longer than it probably should have, but we can now close the book on the Marvel anime series once and for all.

It said it has always complied with IOC regulations and is represented in 180 countries, with wrestling the national sport in some of them.
The federation, which is headed by Raphael Martinetti and based in Corsier-sur-Vevey, Switzerland, said it would meet next week in Thailand to discuss the matter.
Gardner cited wrestling's worldwide popularity and urged a campaign to keep it in the Olympics.
"It just seems like wrestling — if we don't fight, we're going to die," he said. "At this point, it's time for everybody to man up and support the program."
The decision hit hard in Russia, which has long been a power in the sport.
Mikhail Mamiashvili, president of the Russian Wrestling Federation, suggested FILA had not done enough to keep the sport in the games.
"We want to hear what was done to prevent this issue from even being discussed at the board," he said on the Rossiya TV channel.
In comments carried by ITAR-Tass, Mamiashvili added: "I can say for sure that the roots of this problem is at the FILA. I believe that Martinetti's task was to work hard, socialize and defend wrestling's place before the IOC."
Alexander Leipold, a 2000 Olympic champion from Germany and former freestyle German team coach, said he was shocked.
"We are a technical, tactical martial sport where the aim is not to harm the opponent," he said. "Competing at the Olympics is the greatest for an athlete."
Wrestling's long history in the Olympics has featured some top names and moments:
— Karelin won the super-heavyweight gold in Greco-Roman over three straight Olympics — 1988, 1992 and 1996 — until his streak was ended by Gardner, who beat him for the gold in 2000.
— Baumgartner won four Olympic medals, including golds in 1984 and 1992.
— Blatnick overcame cancer to win gold in Greco-Roman at the 1984 Los Angeles Games, bursting into tears after the match. Blatnick died last year at age 55.
— Burroughs emerged as the star of the sport in London, where he won the 74-kilogram gold.
The last sports removed from the Olympics were baseball and softball, voted out by the IOC in 2005 and off the program since the 2008 Beijing Games. Golf and rugby will be joining the program at the 2016 Games in Rio.
Among those in Lausanne were the leaders of the recently created World Baseball Softball Confederation. The two sports agreed last year to merge in a joint bid to return to the games.
Don Porter, the American who heads international softball, and Riccardo Fraccari, the Italian who leads baseball, are working out the final details of their unified body ahead of their presentation to the IOC in May.
A major hurdle remains the lack of a commitment from Major League Baseball to release top players for the Olympics.
Porter and Fraccari said they hope to have another meeting with MLB officials in April in Tokyo.
"The next thing is to sit down with them and see how they can help us," Porter said. "It all depends on the timing, the timing of the season. It's not an easy decision to allow players a week off."

Suppose $X \sim U(0,1)$, and $Y[x] = g(x)$ where $g(.)$ is some complicated function. I want to calculate/plot the density of $Y$. I can do this analytically for simple enough $g$.
I can also generate some large number $N$ samples of $X$ from the stardard uniform, calculate $y_i = Y(x_i)$ for each sample $x_i$, and then compute the histogram of these $ y_i, \forall i \in (1, ...

Robert Turner Becomes First Signee Of Tubby Smith Era
Robert Turner led New Mexico Junior College to the 2013 NJCAA National Tournament.
May 15, 2013
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech head coach Tubby Smith has announced the signing of New Mexico Junior College guard Robert Turner.
"Robert Turner is an outstanding point guard that we believe will bring great leadership and toughness to our program," said Smith. "He is a young man that played on an outstanding New Mexico Junior College team that won their region and advanced to the national tournament. We feel like he fits our style of play. He is a pass-first type of player and a tenacious defender.
"We are excited to have Robert as a part of the Red Raider program. He gives us a foothold into the great junior college hotbed in this region."
Turner, a 6-1 guard from Augusta, Ga., led No. 22 New Mexico Junior College to the NJCAA National Tournament after winning the NJCAA Region 5 Tournament in Lubbock in March this past season. The Thunderbirds finished the season, 27-7 and 12-4 in the Western Junior College Athletics Conference (WJCAC).
The sophomore earned honorable mention All-WJCAC honors, after averaging 10.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists in conference games. He finished the season averaging 9.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists.
In 30 games, Turner had 14 double-digit scoring efforts and 23 multiple assists games this past season. He recorded a season-high 23 against Western Texas and had back-to-back games with a season-high eight assists against Howard and Frank Phillips.
As a freshman, Turner was a part of a 23-9 team that finished second at 10-4 in the WJCAC. He played in all 32 games, averaging 5.1 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists. He had a season-high 13 points against eventual national champion South Plains and recorded 14 multiple assist games.
Prior to New Mexico Junior College, Turner played one season at Augusta (Ga.) Laney High School where he led the Wildcats (29-2) to the Georgia Class AA semifinals. He averaged 13.2 points and 4.1 assists as a senior, earning All-Area honorable mention honors.
He played his first three seasons at Augusta (Ga.) Aquinas High School, where he led Fightin' Irish to the Georgia Class A Elite Eight as a junior. That season he was named first team All-Area after averaging 19.5 points per game.

Wayne Shorter: Deluge
Wayne Shorter (tenor sax)
JuJu (Blue Note 376442)
Wayne Shorter (tenor sax), McCoy Tyner (piano), Reggie Workman (bass), Elvin Jones (drums).
Composed by Wayne Shorter.
Recorded: Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, August 3rd, 1964
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
When Wayne Shorter combined forces with John Coltrane's rhythm section for his 1964 album JuJu, the results were nothing short of ear opening. It's interesting to note the influence that Coltrane had on Shorter. I'm not so sure I buy into the notion that 'Trane influenced Shorter that much as a composer but I think you can definitely hear it in his playing. I think underneath it all, Coltrane had a deep respect for Shorter's playing and that might be why he recommended him to Miles Davis when he left in 1960 (Davis went with Sonny Stitt instead).
The most striking element about this rhythm section is how McCoy Tyner and Elvin Jones sound behind Shorter. It's unfortunate but bassist Reggie Workman's levels are extremely low in the mix. I think it's a safe bet that no matter what saxophonist this rhythm section backed up, it would highly improve the sound and quality of that particular player.
On "Deluge" Tyner and Shorter open the song with an introduction before Tyner is joined by the rest of the rhythm section on the chord hits. Shorter's solo evolves nicely here as well, full of nuance and personality. McCoy Tyner also provides his typical sounds, with fragmented harmonic movements underneath the melody and a lush but full usage of the piano during comping. Overall, a great album from probably one of the best post bop albums of the 1960s.

"Vice President Cheney of one of the architects if the worst foreign policy disaster of the 21st century," Major General Paul Eaton said. "We're young, but the decision to attack Iraq, and to do so in such an incompetent manner, does not give him a platform to say anything about the foreign policy under execution today."
"Vice President Cheney is who he is. It's unfortunate that he has not followed the guidance and the model of his former boss, President Bush, and gone off quietly to write his memoir," Eaton also said.

Wake up landslide14! Today's army is not the same army you avoided serving in. Never again will we need a large number of troops to wage war. Do you think we're going to meet China on a open field and engage in hand to hand combat?
Those 2 little wars that that child Bush started were nothing but a gift to the military industrial complex. A total waste of our blood and treasure.
Congress has authorized almost half-a-billion dollars over two years to build Abrams tanks for the Army. But the Army has said it currently doesn't need any tanks, and the money would be better used elsewhere.
A dozen nearly new C-27J Spartans from Ohio and elsewhere have already been taken out of service and shipped to the so-called boneyard at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson. Five more are expected to be built by April 2014, all of which are headed to the boneyard unless another use for them is found.
We already spend more money on military than the rest of the world combined.

That was going to be my comment. And no matter what the men say, some women will only carry in the purse. There are dedicated purses for this purpose and they are best, but the styles are limited. So for purse carry, and for inexperienced shooters, the revolver.
I have a 340PD (but no purse). The enclose hammer is best for this type of carry. I also have a 640 Pro, and the added weight makes it easier to shoot.
If she turns out to be recoil sensitive, then the Kel-Tec .22Magnum is light and carries a 30 round magazine. It will be loud, but the recoil will be very light. Ammo ain't cheap though.
S & W makes a model 351C, revolver that weighs 10 ounces and carries (I think) eight rounds of .22 magnum. Enclosed hammer. A good gun for someone who is recoil sensitive and wants to carry in a purse or pocket.
I think the Nano is going to be a bit heavy in recoil. I've not shot it though.

Chinese Intelligence Brags of "Thwarting" Thompson Hearings
Media Also Have Boasting Rights
When Senator Fred Thompson folded his Governmental Affairs Committee hearings into the fundraising scandal on Halloween, the media coverage that night wasn't treated any differently than any other scandal development. ABC gave it only 19 seconds, and CBS 30 seconds.
NBC aired a two-minute piece, but reporter Lisa Myers concluded: "It didn't help that while Republicans railed about misdeeds of the Clinton administration, their leaders opposed anything outlawing the huge contributions that helped create the scandal. And few believe these hearings will really fix anything." Developments after that were mostly ignored:
• A strange twist in the Whitewater case arrived on November 6: Whitewater documents, including an uncashed check for more than $20,000 made out to Bill Clinton, were found in an abandoned, tornado-damaged car. Today gave it 17 seconds, NBC Nightly News got to it four days later. ABC and CBS never did.
• The next day, the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee continued its hearings, with White House Deputy Counsel Cheryl Mills admitting she and former Counsel Jack Quinn decided to withhold (for a total of 15 months) a White House staffer's memo suggesting Clinton wanted the White House Office Data Base shared with the Democratic Party, an improper action. TV coverage? Zero.
• On November 13 and 14, that House committee investigated mysterious donor Johnny Chung, who gave $366,000 in suspicious donations to Democrats and made 51 visits to the White House. Despite Chung testifying in closed session, the hearings were ignored both days. ABC's World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News have yet to notice the House hearings since they began in early October.
• On November 14, Washington Post investigator Bob Woodward revealed another breakdown in the fundraising probe: "The FBI has acknowledged overlooking key intelligence information gathered as far back as 1991 that investigators believe shows further Chinese efforts to buy political influence in the United States."
A "senior official" told Woodward documents indicated that Democratic fundraiser Maria Hsia (organizer of the Buddhist temple event) was "doing the bidding" of Beijing as a Chinese agent. Woodward said the FBI found the Chinese equivalent of the CIA boasted it had "thwarted" the Thompson hearings.
CBS gave the story 29 seconds, but ABC and NBC did nothing, even though ABC's Forrest Sawyer kissed the hearings goodbye on October 31 by noting "Thompson conceded he had not proven his charge that the Chinese government tried to influence the American elections."

2013 marks a few important bicentennials. Of course the two one refers to are Richard Wagner and Giuseppe Verdi. However, 2013 is also the year we celebrate another important "tennial." It is the centennial of British composer Benjamin Britten, and last night Carnegie Hall began its series of concerts devoted to celebrating his life and works.
Zankel Hall welcomed three superb artists to sing Britten's music. Tenor Ian Bostridge; who returns to Carnegie Hall on Wednesday, Oct 23, for another Britten program, Countertenor Iestyn Davies; who is currently staring in Britten's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at the Met, and Baritone Joshua Hopkins. These gentlemen of song joined voices for a lovely evening accompanied on the piano by Julius Drake, on the french horn by Leelanee Sterrett, and on the harp by Bridget Kibbey.
The program began with songs by Henry Purcell which had been arranged by Benjamin Britten. Mr. Bostridge started the first act with "If music be the food of love" in which he conveyed great stage presence, yet his diction was a bit muddled throughout. His most dramatic work came in the fiery "The Queen's Epicedium." This was a perfect combination of voice and piano to create real drama, which turned out to foreshadow the second portion of the evening. Mr. Davies possessed a delicate balance of smokey-smooth softness and a rich tambour that he used to ebb the phrases in "Sweeter than roses," and his final "Music for a while." One would be hard pressed to find a talent equal to his in versatility and tonal quality. Of course, that may also be due to the fact of the rarity of his voice type. Though the gap, I am happy to report, is closing in as this music becomes more and more prevalent in recitals these days. Mr. Hopkins sang with wonderful expression of the text, moving authentically to the emotions. The pinicle of which came in his second piece, "Not all my torments can your pity move." He sang with a quality akin to Thomas Stewart, and with a voice that rattled the floorboards like the passing subways underfoot.
The aforementioned drama came to a peak during the second half of the evening which included all of Britten's Canticle's. In Canticle I: My Beloved is Mine, Op. 40, Mr. Bostridge astounded with an absolutely gorgeous ending phrase of, "thus he is mine." This piece was written almost as a coming out of sorts for Britten and his lover Peter Pears. The text overtly alludes to two men expressing love for one another, but he hides the meaning in a biblical setting.
In Canticle II: Abraham and Isaac, Op. 51, Mr. Davies played Isaac to Mr. Bostridge's Abraham. The story comes from the Old Testament of sacrifice and innocence. The piece opened with the two singers facing the piano in unison as the voice of God. If God in fact does have a voice, one should hope he sounds like these two voice combined. Swirling around each other and occasionally meeting on the same pitch, this effect was brilliant at best. The program notes denoted staging, however, these interpreters needed none.
The three joined again during Canticle IV: The Journey of the Magi, Op. 86, in which they formed a sort of call-and-response story telling of the journey of the three wise men.
The entire piece was so musically unsettling that one did not know when to applaud once it was over. The music and lyric just sits there without any sense of finality, but after the mood broke there was ovations for all. Rightly and well deserved for Mr. Drake's fantastically virtuosic piano playing.
With representations like this, there is little wonder Britten's music lives on. He still speaks to every human emotion in every human being in the way that all the classic greats do, and will for eons to come.

Microsoft might bring Xbox and PC games to Apple and Android
Age of Empires tipped as the first
SOFTWARE SHIFTER Microsoft could be about to raise the curtain on Xbox and PC games for Apple and Android devices.
So far the firm has played its own games close to its chest and has enjoyed the enduring success of exclusive titles like the Halo series.
That might be about to come to an end though, and according to reports the firm is considering rolling its game titles out to more devices.
Microsoft even has a partner lined up, the unglamourous sounding Japanese pocket gamemaker Klab.
We have asked Microsoft's Xbox team to comment but so far it has not responded. Reports, including this one on Reuters, say that the first title lined up for a breakaway release is Age of Empires.
This title reportedly will get the rework treatment and a late 2013 release. It will also be free to play, which might tempt users of other consoles who think that Xbox games are dull.
Reports spring from a story on the Japanese business news website Nikkei, which requires a subscription.
There are plenty of Xbox games available for Windows Phone, but alternatives on the Apple and Android stores are few and far between.
It would make sense for Microsoft to extend its reach into these other lucrative game markets, especially given its own market share.
Klab has a page on its website showing the sorts of games it has out, or presently working on. They aren't great looking, and there is only evidence of three games that it has worked on as a partner or co-developer.
It is possible of course that Microsoft is licensing the right to develop its games for the other operating systems. We are waiting for it to confirm its position. µ

Hello, my name is Victoria Jenny!
Welcome to Wake Forest Pet Sitting!
"Passion is a strange thing;
it's a
deep powerful,
almost overwhelming
emotion that overcomes you.
You can't hide it or even dismiss it"
I am thrilled to have the opportunity to become your new pet sitter!
I am very passionate about animals and feel very blessed to have a job doing what I love!
I am so excited to get to know you and your pet. Since we will be working closely,
I want tell you a few things about me.
Animals have always been a large part of my life. My sister is currently working as an Emergency Vet in Greensboro, NC. Growing up we always had at least one dog,
several cats and often guinea pigs.
Currently, my family includes:
· Leia (a mixed breed dog rescued from the local SPCA),
· Henry (a "tuxedo" cat rescue from Hobbes House), and Biscuit and Tiger (two lovable guinea pigs).
My husband, sons, and I have also had the joy of keeping hamsters, fish, and hermit crabs.
We have also taken in several stray cats and 2 rescued greyhounds in the past that have
since passed on.
I have always tried to care for other animals that needed help. Some of these activities include:
·Trapping feral cats, transporting them to be spayed or neutered and then re-releasing them.
·Rescuing rabbits from the shelter, using them as classroom pets in my Elementary School classroom, and then giving them, at the end of the year, to a student and family who took good care of the rabbit. Volunteer at Greyhound Friends of NC in Greensboro.
For the last 4 years I have been a 1 Grade Teacher at Wakefield Elementary. During this time I have occasionally filled in for the former owner and did some pet sitting as my schedule allowed. This includes sitting for her crew at times. I have decided to resign as a school teacher so that I could take on this new full- time adventure.
Thank you for allowing me to take care of your special family member!
Why should I use a Pet Sitter and not board my pet?
Psychological research shows that animals are most comfortable in a familiar environment. Many veterinarians recommend that pets stay at home when their owners are away so that they maintain their regular diet, which avoids digestive problems, and sleep and play in their accustomed places, with familiar smells and sights. In addition, there's no risk of acquiring diseases or parasites from other animals in a kennel.
Advantages for you and your pet...
Reduced Stress –
Your pet remains in its own familiar, secure setting.
Diet and Exercise –
A normal diet and routine are followed. Daily walks are part of our service. Exercise serves as a mischief deterrent and is good for your dogs health. It is also and important way to alleviate separation anxiety.
No Travel Trauma –
Traveling to a family member or friends house, or to a boarding facility may upset your pet.

It's up again, folks. Even though previous congressional hearings on the subject found that the White House and then-Sec. of State Hillary Clinton did nothing to cover-up information about the Sept. 2012 attacks on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya – even though House Republicans cut funding for embassy security for two consecutive fiscal years prior to the attack, and despite requests from both the White House and Clinton – even though the ambassador twice refused military backup one month before the attack – and even though a senior officer testified that the military could have done nothing to prevent it – the Republican Party is once again opening an investigation on the terrorist attack that claimed four U.S. lives.
And while the chair of the newest Benghazi Select Committee is trying to make folks think it will be different this time, he's guilty of the same cheap tactics he himself recently criticized.
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-South Carolina) was appointed on May 5 to head the congressional committee that will investigate the 2012 terrorist attack.
Calling it a subject that "transcends politics" on MSNBC's May 7 edition of "Morning Joe," Gowdy swore that the hearing did not have political goals and would have no political bias. In fact, he urged other Republicans to avoid reference to Benghazi in their campaigns and campaign fundraisers.
"I will cite myself as an example," he said. "I have never sought to raise a single penny on the backs of four murdered Americans."
Gowdy made the same promise later that day to CNN's Jake Trapper. "I cannot and will not raise money on Benghazi. I also advise my colleagues to follow suit."
But either Gowdy's statements were hypocritical and indicative of a haughty double standard … or he suffers from memory loss … or he flat-out lied. Because he's already done it himself. And three different times.
- At an Aug. 2013 fundraiser for Rep. Mick Mulvaney, another South Carolina Republican, Gowdy told attendees that, while other rumors going around D.C. were "phony," Benghazi was one to pursue. "It is a scandal. But it is not a phony scandal," quotes the Lancaster (S.C.) News.
- At a Sept. 2013 function for Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-South Carolina), Gowdy "shared the credit" for continuing Benghazi investigations, telling Furham Univ. students "there is no one in Congress who has more on the issue of Benghazi than your senior senator."
- And later that same month, Gowdy praised another congressman, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, for leading House attacks on President Obama over Benghazi, and at a fundraiser for the Republican representative from Utah.
While Gowdy searches for an excuse to his double-standard, he should also come up with one for his party. The National Republican Congressional Committee didn't follow his advice, either.
At the same time of Gowdy's "Morning Joe" appearance did NRCC submit emails claiming "Benghazi was a coverup" in its request for contributions, evening mentioning Gowdy by name. "You're now a Benghazi Watchdog," NRCC's donation request says. "Let's go after Obama & Hillary Clinton."

End of an Era: Texas Tech and Texas A&M Close Big 12 Chapter
Texas Tech and Texas A&M will meet for the final time as Big 12 foes on Saturday.
Gameday Central | Texas Tech Notes | Texas A&M Notes
Defining Moments in the Texas A&M Rivalry
1995 Texas Tech vs. Texas A&M
October 7, 2011
by Britton Drown
It might be a slight cliché to label Saturday night's prime time match up with Texas A&M as more than just a football game. Then again, maybe it's not. It's historic. It's tradition. It's the way football seasons, it seems, have always played out in Lubbock.
For some, the Texas A&M game has always been there.
Through the decades of memories on the field, it has created a beloved and celebrated rivalry--one that spans 84 years of football games. Games that have, and will forever be shared between the two schools. They are stories, and in time they have composed this rich and unique narrative between two teams separated by just over 400 miles of vast Texas landscape.
Though after tonight, that may be all that remains of this rivalry. The stories.
The annual gridiron battle between the Aggies and Red Raiders is truly more than a game, and Saturday night represents so much more than just four quarters can capture on their own.
It's more than just one story can tell.
Sitting comfortably in the seat of his red and black golf cart, Jess Stiles gazed out onto the hot practice field on a late September afternoon. He was in his usual spot on the sideline at Jones AT&T Stadium, watching intently, as he always does. In front of his watch, the Red Raiders prepared for yet another game on their schedule.
Beneath the shade of his straw hat he sat with one hand placed on the steering wheel, his 2010 Alamo Bowl ring reflecting in the bright sun as he spoke confidently of what he saw on the field in front of him.
But today, it's not the future of the Red Raider program that he talks about, but rather the past--his stories--and just what the Texas A&M rivalry has meant to this team, and this program, over the previous 84 years.
As he speaks, he leaves Jones AT&T Stadium and travels through his memories to another familiar stadium.
It's 2002 and Stiles, in his 29th year in the Tech program, is again on the sidelines, only this time at Kyle Field in College Station. Texas Tech trailed Texas A&M late in the fourth quarter, in danger of dropping their conference opener to their in-state rivals.
But then, as rivalry games tend to do, things quickly changed. Wes Welker returned an Aggie punt 88 yards, weaving in and around maroon jerseys then down the sideline to give the Red Raiders their first lead of the game with under three minutes remaining in the game.
"I could have reached out and touched him," Stiles said, now consumed with the vivid memory.
Texas Tech went on to win the game in two overtimes. For Stiles, it is one of numerous unforgettable games he has seen during his 42 years of involvement between the two schools--39 of which have been at Texas Tech.
The annual battle with Texas A&M runs through Stiles, beginning in 1969 when he first arrived in Lubbock as an assistant offensive line coach under head coach J.T. King. For the next 42 years, outside of the three years he spent in College Station as an assistant coach for Texas A&M from 1978 to 1981, Stiles has consumed himself with Texas Tech football and the stories it has created in his life.
"I treasure all of my memories at Texas Tech," he says. "I think it's a great rivalry because of the experiences that you are exposed to. The Aggies will always be good in just about everything you do, and you want to put on your best show against the Aggies."
It's a game that certainly holds a prominent place in those memories, and he admitted it was difficult to grasp the idea of playing the Aggies for what could the final time on Saturday night. -
"It's going to be special," Stiles said.
The Texas A&M rivalry is something that senior receiver Tramain Swindall has grown to understand during his career as a Red Raider receiver. Admittedly, he didn't quite grasp the depth to which it runs when he began his career, but that quickly changed as he became more enriched with the program.
After redshirting during his freshman season, Swindall made his debut in the rivalry during the 2008 season when the Red Raiders made the trip southeast to College Station.
The intimidating confines of Kyle Field hosted a crowd of 86,012 that day, but Swindall, a freshman from Oklahoma City, Okla. wasn't intimidated by hostile environment.
He brought down seven passes that day for a team-high 101 yards as the Red Raiders' beat the Aggies 43-25--their fourth consecutive win in the series.
"That's a game that I will never forget," Swindall said.
Now, Swindall is a senior on a Red Raiders team that will perhaps play the Aggies for the final time as conference rivals,
"Every time we play them it's just a fun deal," Swindall said. "It's just a great experience."
As Stiles finished his own narrative of memories involving Texas A&M, he paused for one final question.
He glanced out across the stadium, the one he has seen change so much over the years, paused, and tried to articulate the right answer.
"That's the way it is," he said. "If we lose them permanently, then that's fine, we'll find someone else."
Many things have changed during his 39 years at Texas Tech, but this was a change he certainly didn't expect. Soon, the game that has shaped so much history between both schools may be just another one of myriad of stories he has to cherish.
However, after Saturday, he hopes he will have just one more to tell.
"We just want to win that last one," Stiles said. "I want to remember that."

BRUNSWICK HILLS TWP. — RPM International announced Friday that its board of directors approved pushing up the payment date of its regular quarterly cash dividend to Dec. 28 in a move designed to protect stockholders from higher taxes that might go into effect at the start of the new year.
The rescheduled payment replaces the quarterly dividend that would have been paid in January.
The dividend of $0.225 per share is payable to stockholders of record as of Dec. 17. At a share price of $28.50, RPM's dividend yield would be 3.2 percent.
The next quarterly dividend is anticipated to be paid in April 2013.
RPM's last cash dividend increase of 4.7 percent in October 2012 marked its 39th consecutive year of increased cash dividends paid to its stockholders, company officials said.
Only 47 other companies besides RPM consecutively have paid an increasing annual dividend for this period of time or longer, according to the fall 2012 edition of the Mergent Handbook of Dividend Achievers.
RPM International is a holding company that owns subsidiaries that produce specialty coatings, sealants, building materials and related services serving industrial and consumer markets worldwide.
In addition to Rust-Oleum, RPM's consumer products include Zinsser, DAP, Varathane and Testors.

TEMPE, Ariz. - The No. 8 ranked Oregon softball team defeated Appalachian State, 9-1, in six innings on Saturday in the first of two games at the Kajikawa Classic.
The Ducks (2-1) scored nine runs on 10 hits with one error while the Mountaineers (0-5) posted one run on six hits with six errors.
Oregon starting pitcher Karissa Hovinga tossed a complete game, allowing one run (unearned) on six hits with four strikeouts and one walk.
"Karissa was in command today," said head coach Mike White. "She really stuck to the gameplan and got out of a jam in the first and continued to battle. She was in control for the whole game."
Only six of Oregon's nine runs were earned while the only run surrendered by Hovinga was unearned.
The Ducks opened scoring in the first inning with two runs and added one more in the third plus two more in the fourth, fifth and sixth.
Freshman Nikki Udria, who went 1-for-1 with three walks, smacked a two-run single in the sixth inning to put the run rule in effect.
"Nikki did a great job turning over the lineup for us and giving our top of the lineup hitters a chance to drive in runs," White said.
Third baseman Courtney Ceo went 2-for-3 with two runs and a RBI while first baseman Janelle Lindvall went 2-for-4 with a RBI. Center fielder Alyssa Gillespie added two runs and went 1-for-3.
"Defensively I thought we played well," White said. "Alexa Petersen made a great catch in right."
Appalachian State shortstop Cynthia Gomez led the Mountaineers with two hits.
The Ducks will be back in action on Sunday against Boise State to close out the Kajikawa Classic.

Nov. 10, 2012
By Gregg Bell UW Director of Writing
SEATTLE - Bow down to ... Bishop Sankey, Austin Seferian-Jenkins, and the return of the swagger inside Keith Price.
Sankey ran for 162 yards on 36 carries with two touchdowns to become the 10 th running back in UW history with 1,000 yards in a season. Seferian-Jenkins caught seven more passes for 99 yards to pass Mark Bruener and become Washington's all-time leader for career receptions by a tight end - as a sophomore. He also debuted as a pass-rush tight end.
Price completed 24 of 33 passes for a season-high 277 yards and two touchdowns passing plus another rushing, striking a defiant, hands-on-hips pose in the end zone after that one.
And the suddenly smokin' Huskies bowled through Utah 34-15 Saturday night on a thumping Senior Night at CenturyLink Field.
Washington (6-4, 4-3 Pac-12) qualified for its third consecutive bowl with its third straight win.
How long ago was that winless season? Eons?
Utah (4-6, 2-5) took an early 8-0 lead - then watch Sankey, Seferian-Jenkins, Price, and a thudding Huskies defense dominate as UW scored 34 of the next 41 points to improve to 8-0 all-time against the Utes.
The Huskies go to Colorado (1-9, 1-6) next Saturday. Kickoff in Boulder, Colo., is at 10:30 a.m. Pacific time.
Check back here soon for updates and reaction from the locker room on GoHuskies.com.
