Last Week
Arizona saw its losing streak extend to six straight games as No. 7 Cal State Fullerton came to Tucson and swept a three-game series at Kindall Field ... All three losses to the Titans were by two runs ... The series saw the Wildcats miss out on opportunities after having the go-ahead run at the plate in the ninth inning in both Friday and Saturday's losses and surrendering a late lead on Sunday ... UA managed just a .172 team batting average in the three games ... The pitching staff posted a 5.00 ERA and struck out 25 in 27 innings pitched over the weekend.
A Quick Look at UC Irvine
The Anteaters enter Tucson with a 17-9 overall record and a five-game win streak ... UCI swept a three-game series with Oral Roberts last weekend, defeated Loyola Marymount in a mid-week contest and took the series finale against Houston to match its season high for consecutive wins ... Offensively UCI is batting .278 as a team and averaging 5.8 runs, nine hits and five RBI per game ... Senior Gary Dudrey has a team-best .415 batting average and has scored 20 runs and stolen 12 bases this season ... First baseman Jamie Martinez is one of four UCI hitters with two home runs and paces the club with 22 RBI ... On the mound, UCI has posted a 3.67 ERA in 26 games, and has struck out 178 batters in 235 1/3 innings pitched ... Right-hander Scott Gorgen is 3-1 this season, and has a 2.38 ERA ... Closer Blair Erickson, the current Big West Pitcher of the Week, is 3-0 with a 1.47 ERA and eight saves in 14 appearances in 2006 ... UCI is led by second-year head coach Dave Serrano.
The History
Last Season
UC Irvine swept a pair of games from Arizona in Sacramento last year ... UCI won a one-run game, 4-3, on Friday, and blew out the Wildcats 12-1 on a rainy Saturday in Northern California ... The weekend was total washout for the Wildcats, who also lost to host school Sacramento State on Sunday, while UCI defeated Sac State to wrap up a perfect weekend record.
The Big West
UC Irvine is the third and final Big West school scheduled to face
Offensive Numbers
Entering the weekend against UC Irvine, the Arizona offense is batting .270 as a team, and is averaging 6.1 runs, nine hits, 1.8 doubles and 5.7 RBI per game ... Arizona leads the Pac-10 with 17 triples, and is tied for third in the conference with 25 stolen bases.
Pitching Numbers
Through the first 21 games, the Wildcats have posted a 4.50 team ERA in 186 innings pitched, and have 206 strikeouts against 78 walks ... Arizona is currently fourth in the Pac-10 in strikeouts, and trails conference leader UCLA by just nine despite playing five less games ... UA is averaging 9.96 strikeouts per nine innings this season.
Losing Streaks
The Wildcats are currently mired in the longest losing streak since the end of the 2003 season. While the number of consecutive losses are the same, this season's six-game streak and the ?'03 six-game streak's similarities end at the length. The current one has seen UA drop two one-run decisions and three two-run decisions, the largest margin of defeat was a seven-run loss at

Melancon Mows ?'Em Down
Wildcat closer Mark Melancon has been nearly untouchable out of the bullpen this season. Having surrendered just one earned run in relief this season, the right-hander currently leads the Wildcats with an impressive 1.74 ERA (second-best in the Pac-10). Out of the pen, Melancon has struck out 34 batters and walked only six in 26 innings pitched. As the closer, opponents are hitting just .183 against him. The "as the closer" qualifier must be used, because in his one start this season the junior surrendered a career-high six runs on five hits to New Mexico, and thus his return to the bullpen.

Despite a minor blip against Cal State Fullerton last Sunday, left-hander David Coulon has done a fine job working out of the bullpen this season. In four relief appearances, the sophomore has worked 7 2/3 innings, struck out seven batters, issued just one walk and posted a 2.35 ERA.

The right-hander is 1-3 this season, but in his three losses he has given up just a total of nine runs on 19 hits in 16 2/3 innings pitched. The Wildcat offense has posted a combined six runs in those three losses, a 3-1 decision to No. 11 Nebraska, a 9-2 defeat to No. 15 Mississippi State and a 5-3 loss to No. 7 Cal State Fullerton.

Johnny Bench Award Watch List
Junior Konrad Schmidt is one of 26 players nationwide to be named to the Johnny Bench Award which is annually presented to the top catcher in the country. Schmidt is currently hitting .263 with four doubles and eight RBI and he has thrown out 11 would-be base stealers this season. Former Wildcat Nick Hundley was one of three finalists for the award last year.

"High-dwelling companions of the puffy white clouds" is how a 1946 National Geographic article describes the alpaca, a domesticated animal that has provided wool to Quechua Indians for thousands of years. Alpaca wool is warm, lightweight, and easily sheds rain and snow, making it an ideal fiber for the windswept Andes. This alpaca-blend cardigan features patterns inspired by the embroidered hems of Peruvian women's skirts. Single-button closure. Fine-gauge alpaca blend.
Made in Peru. 40% alpaca, 30% sheep's-wool, 30% acrylic. Women's sizes S (4–6), M (8–10), L (12–14), XL (16).
Hand-wash or dry clean.
Indigenous people in South America have raised alpaca for its fleece for thousands of years before Europeans learned about the animal and exported alpaca fiber to Spain in the 16th and 17th centuries. Today this domesticated animal is bred throughout the world, but its native habitat is the Andean altiplano: Ecuador, southern Peru, northern Bolivia, and northern Chile.
Descended from the wild vicuña, alpaca resemble a cross between a llama and a sheep. Its fleece is similar to sheep's wool, but is usually softer, less prickly, and has minimal lanolin content, making it virtually hypoallergenic. Its extreme warmth, relatively light weight, and natural resistance to water make alpaca wool an ideal fabric for the frigid winters of the Andean altiplano. These qualities have also led to a rise in the use of alpaca fiber in outdoor gear and active wear, although it is also easily spun into a fine enough yarn for use in suits and other dress wear.
Most alpaca products can be treated as you would an object made of sheep's woolhand wash using a mild soap and lukewarm water, or dry cleanbut check the tag or manufacturer's instructions for specific instructions.

Best Uses
A pretty, warm sweater that is very comfortable. Packs well. The only downside is that it is very easy to catch and pull a single thread, and difficult to get the pull to the underside.

Peruvian Blue Flyaway Cardigan
By Jewelery Maker
from Seattle, WA
This sweater is stunningly beautiful. I expected it to be fairly light, given the style. I was startled at how light weight it was. The catalog should SAY it's not 100% alpaca. I do expect to get a lot of wear out of it come summer--it's midwinter now and of no use to me, even over a turtleneck.
From National Geographic:Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We are delighted to hear that you are pleased with this sweater. The catalog listing says this sweater is made of a fine-gauge alpaca blend. Under the Details tab on this product's description on our Online Store, we give the content as 40% alpaca, 30% sheep's wool, and 30% acrylic.

An occasional cloudy day like today aside, it certainly feels like Spring is in the air. The plum and some cherry blossoms have already burst forth, those with allergies are suffering a bit, and we've got sunshine into the dinner hour thanks to the magic of daylight savings time.
Spring means a lot of different things to different people, but for any wine lover in San Francisco, it certainly means wine tasting season. This is the time of year that winemakers get a little break -- malolactic fermentation is well underway if not finished and it's not quite time to prune for many people. So there's time to pack the suitcase and go show off some wines to the public.
One of the best tastings that comes our way each Spring in San Francisco is the Rhone Rangers tasting. Held at Fort Mason, like many of the other big tastings, Rhone Rangers offers the chance for wine lovers to taste through a vast field of Syrah, Grenache, Viognier, and many other varietals and blends that fall under the general banner of Rhone-style wines.
I adore these wines, and this is always a great event. I highly recommend it to anyone, especially those that might be stuck in a Cabernet rut (or a Merlot, Chardonnay, or Sauvignon Blanc rut for that matter). There's a lot more out there in the world of California wine, and this tasting will provide one heck of an education to anyone looking to explore alternatives to the typical grape varieties.
And of course, for those who are crazy for Rhone-style wines, this tasting is pretty much the only game around these days. Now that the beloved Hospice du Rhone tasting is no more, this event has become the most significant event for these kinds of wines in the country.
The event features a series of seminars on Saturday morning, March 22nd that will provide an in-depth foundation for anyone interested in the grapes of the Rhone, and then the grand tasting that follows will be an opportunity to soak your palate in the flavors of the Rhone Valley. Complete details on the seminars and the winemaker dinner on Friday night before the grand tasting can be found on the event web site.
So what could be better than an afternoon filled with Grenache? Why a FREE afternoon filled with Grenache, of course.
So how about a couple of free tickets courtesy of Vinography? Let's run a little contest here. I want Rhone limericks. Come up with a limerick, and you'll get a chance to win a free ticket to the grand tasting. I'll pick two names out of a hat from those who are brave enough to offer a limerick on the subject of Rhone wines below in the comments (please make sure to enter your e-mail address in the appropriate field so I can contact you). For those who need it, Here's a refresher on the rhyme form, courtesy of one of last year's contestants, Augusta Dorman:
Roussanne is the best at it's briniest
creamy texture and body prevent sliminess
It's complex nose and Brassy hue
make me want to spew
an abundance of odes to it's loveliness
Remember, it doesn't have to be good, it just has to rhyme! Take your best shot by the end of March 18th, and I'll announce the winners on the 19th.
2013 Rhone Rangers Grand Tasting
Saturday, March 23rd
3:00 PM to 6:00 PM
Fort Mason Festival Pavilion
Buchanan Street and Marina Blvd
San Francisco, CA
Tickets to the grand tasting are $50 in advance, and should be purchased online. Use the promo code RR-BLGCON when you register to get $5 off the grand tasting or a bit more than that off the combination ticket if you're up for the seminars, too.
And remember my tips for optimum enjoyment at public tastings: wear dark, comfortable clothes; get a good night's sleep; come with food in your belly; drink lots of water; and SPIT if you want to learn anything!
Ladies (and gents) please skip the perfume for the day. We want to smell the wines, not you.

Pretty much everyone knows that driving too fast wastes fuel and creates excess carbon emissions, as does revving the engine and not bothering with tune-ups. We can try to alter our driving habits accordingly, but how can we know how much to alter them? What speed should we drive at when, and how often should we take our car to the garage? These questions can be instantly and completely answered, right in your car, if you're using an Eco-Navigator device.Read More
Automotive radar and laser detector manufacturer Escort has announced the release of Passport IQ, which combines GPS navigation and radar detection technology in one handy unit. As well as getting you safely from A to B, the new driving accessory is said to be the first that also protects you from annoying and costly tickets by providing information on red light and fixed position speed cameras, known speed traps, speed limit information and more.Read More
Brilliant idea or bad move? Awful advertising, either way. Navteq has decided that typical turn-by-turn navigation instructions like "in 300 meters, turn left" aren't 'human' enough. That's not how a human navigator would direct you; in fact you kind of need to train your brain to be comfortable with that kind of instruction. Navteq's thinking is that a driver will respond more effectively and comfortably to visual cues like "turn left after the church" or "turn right after the yellow house," so it's rolling out a 'Natural Guidance' system that does just that. It seems like a fairly huge task to put together those sorts of navigation cues across a whole set of maps, but Navteq already has 10 cities' worth of cues programmed in. It'll be interesting to see if it's worth all the effort. Oh, and it's worth clicking through just to see Navteq present the system in one of the most offensively patronizing ad videos we've seen.Read More
Nokia has announced the upcoming release of a new, free version of Ovi Maps for all its smartphones, which includes turn-by-turn voice navigation for 74 countries in 46 languages, real-time traffic updates for 10 countries, and maps for over 180 countries.Read More
With the continued proliferation of auto satnav, handheld Personal Navigation Devices (PNDs) and mobile phone navigational functionality, consumers are being offered ever more choice in the way they experience navigation and location-based information. Hence it was interesting to see the penetration of navigation technologies into the population when digital map provider Navteq released excerpts from its global research recently. In 2009, roughly half of all people in mature markets such as US, UK, France and Germany had used navigation devices - roughly double the number from 2006. The research also concluded that mobile consumers are very interested in pedestrian navigation too. The time is unquestionably near when we'll all be reliant on our handheld devices for finding our way around.Read More
It wasn't so long ago that most of us relied on the humble road map to get us from A to B, but with the advent of GPS navigation systems, our map-reading skills are rarely required. There is no denying the usefulness of GPS systems, particularly if you have a tendency to get lost, but do they actually save you time? According to a recent proprietary research study, if you have a traffic-enabled GPS and spend most of your time on busy roads, you could save yourself up to four days a year.Read More

Shari Pollesch gained another endorsement Monday as the Sierra Club included her in the latest batch of candidates it is recommending to voters. Pollesch is running for the Democratic nomination to challenge incumbent Republican Joe Hune, who represents western and northern Washtenaw County along with most of Livingston County in District 22 of the Michigan Senate.
Pollesch has served on the Michigan League of Conservation Voters Board, including two years as chair. She regularly participates in Sierra Club activities including Citizen Lobby Day, advocacy trips to Washington D.C., writing letters to newspapers, and fighting against fracking in Livingston County.
When asked about her endorsement on Tuesday, Pollesch told Examiner.com "if we make the planet uninhabitable, nothing else will really matter."
Others endorsed Monday included Bert Johnson, who is running for Michigan Senate District 2, and Bryan Mielke, who is running for Michigan State House in District 99.
Pollesch joins eight other candidates on the ballot in Washtenaw County this year who have been endorsed by the Sierra Club, all of whom are Democrats.
On the statewide ballot, the Sierra Club has endorsed Gary Peters for U.S. Senate and Mark Schauer for Governor. It has also endorsed Pam Byrnes, who is running to unseat Republican Tim Walberg in the Seventh District of the U.S. House of Representatives, which includes much of the same parts of Washtenaw County as Pollesch wants to serve.
The Sierra Club has also endorsed Rebekah Warren, who represents eastern Washtenaw County and easternmost Livingston County in District 18 of the Michigan Senate, in her bid for re-election. This means that the environmental advocacy organization has endorsed both of the Democratic candidates that cover Washtenaw County.
In addition to recommending candidates for both state senate seats in Washtenaw County, the environmental advocacy organization has also endorsed all four incumbents representing Washtenaw County in the Michigan House of Representatives. This includes Gretchen Driskell in District 52, Steve Irwin in District 53, David Rutledge in District 54, and Adam Zemke in District 55.
In a press release endorsing Pollesch, Johnson, and Mielke, Michigan Sierra Club Political and Legislative Director Mike Berkowitz said "These candidates have demonstrated strong support for clean air, clean water, and for strengthening Michigan's clean energy future. These are issues everyday Michiganders care about and should be priorities for the next legislature."
The Sierra Club also recommended yes votes on both of the ballot initiatives that would stop the wolf hunt in the Upper Peninsula.
In the same press release, Richard Morley Barron, Political Chair of the Sierra Club Michigan Chapter, said "Sierra Club is a grassroots organization and our strength is in educating and mobilizing environmental voters. Given the unprecedented challenges facing our Great Lakes, our climate and a weakening of pollution protection and enforcement, we are committed to implementing the most robust effort of any election year in our history. The times demand it and our members expect it."

Alas, I am not a poet, but for a long time I have had an opening couplet nagging me to become one. It goes: "The places I will never go/The list gets longer every day." I can hear the as yet unwritten rhythms in my mind's ear and the theme is absolutely clear: the bittersweet mixture of promise and disappointment, delight and dismay, that is forever part of travel's baggage.

In the new Apple Maps, users are shown a museum in a river, an airport that's actually a farm and no public transit information. The maps are sometimes so wrong, the Irish Minister for Justice has called the new iOS 6 software "dangerous."
Apple announced in June that it would stop using the popular Google Maps, so it began creating its own system of maps based on data from TomTom, according to the BBC. But inaccurate mapping and excluded cities and towns aren't making users happy.
Those 10 million or so that pre-ordered the iPhone 5 will be forced to use the new mapping system and will have a rude awakening if they are used to Google Street View or even something as simple as public transit information.

"I am surprised to discover that Airfield [a 35-acre working farm] . . . has been designated with the image of an aircraft. . . . Clearly the designation is not only wrong but is dangerously misleading in that it could result in a pilot, unfamiliar with the area, in an emergency situation and without other available information, attempting a landing."

Student Stories
I'm Elizabeth Haddock and I'm a sophomore majoring in Kinesiology from Las Cruces, New Mexico. I was the recipient of the Carroll Donovan and CJ Davidson, Jr. Scholarships. These scholarships meant a lot to me. Without them, I would have had to take out a lot more loan money and take a job which would have affected my ability to play on the Javelina Women's Golf team. My grades would have been tremendously impacted if I had to fund my education on my own. Instead, with these scholarships, I can focus on school, study sessions, golf practice and tournaments without all the added stress of having to work a job too. One day, I hope to be able to give back and start my own scholarship that would help other students afford the cost of a college education.
My name is Jonathan Sulaica and I'm a sophomore majoring in Geology from Three Rivers, TX. I chose Texas A&M University-Kingsville because of its small campus, strong Geology program, and closeness to home. With one sister currently in college and another enrolling at TAMUK next year, scholarships are really helping our family afford college. Thanks to the Presidential Gold Scholarship, some of the financial strain has been eased, which has helped me to enjoy my college experience and allow me to concentrate on my studies. It also allows me to be more active as a part of the Honors College and Geology Club. After graduation, I would like to continue my education by getting my Masters in Geology and use what I've learned to make a difference in the oil field industry. It was an honor to receive this scholarship and I'm so appreciative that the University gave it to me.
Hello, I am Victoria Breeding. I have been a recipient of the Presidential, STARS, and TA Scholarships. Thanks to donors, I've had some amazing experiences at Texas A&M – Kingsville. The university has great professors who really engage you in class and make time to talk with you outside of class. The university does a great job of making kids feel at home, and I'm really thankful for that. As I get older, I realize that it's important to feel like you belong. The department in general has been a highlight in my experience. I'm so thankful for all that donors have done to make this all possible for me. They have made such a difference in my life as well as my sister's.
Hi, my name is Alexandra Breeding. I was a recipient of the J.T. Peacock, Presidential, and Society of Independent Professionals Scholarships. These awards have allowed me to get a great education without the burden of tremendous amounts of debt when I finish school. That is really important, especially for students like me who have plans to go to graduate school. It has really taken some of the pressure off. Thanks to the donors that have supported me, I've had a pretty incredible experience. I've had opportunities given to me that I couldn't't have gotten elsewhere. This place is home to me. I know the professors, and they listen to students, take suggestions and actually use them. They also are involved in helping students find jobs. I'm on track to graduate in the summer of 2012, and then I plan on going to graduate school. After I get established professionally in my field, I'm thinking about setting up a scholarship in the future thanks to the example set by donors who have helped me. My father was in the Army, so I'd like to set up something that will help ROTC or veterans. I am so grateful for what donors have done for me, and their generosity makes me want to give back to show my appreciation.

History buffs around the world salivate at the opportunity to view history in the making via live Internet feeds, and they were not disappointed on Tuesday, April 30, when Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands abdicated the throne to her son, Prince Willem-Alexander.
King Willem's wife, Maxima, became queen consort that day as well. If anyone is fit to be queen, surely it's the vibrant, beautifully regal Maxima, who looked quite at home wearing the royal jewels and participating in the solemn ceremonies. The Mellerio Sapphire Tiara she wore at the inauguration was the perfect accessory to her stunning royal blue Jan Taminiau crepe and chiffon gown. Its cape flowed gently over her shoulders to the floor and trailed softly behind her as an echo of her husband's regal mantle. (Queen consorts do not receive the royal robe.)
The beautiful gowns of the guests, the perfect little blue dresses of the princesses, the breathtaking setting of the event was a visual feast--almost Disney-esque. Maxima's beauty and choice of wardrobe throughout the day stole the spotlight and the day was a study in royal perfection.
King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima have three daughters, who were perfectly poised yet relaxed. If there's one message this royal family projects it's happiness. The smiles appear genuine and unspoiled. In keeping with their modern, laid-back personalities, the king and queen have announced they will not be addressed as "your majesty," perhaps another insight into the genuine warmth this family exudes.
The oldest daughter, Princess Catharina-Amalia, became the first Princess of Orange in her own right since Marie, Princess of Orange (1393–1417). She will become queen after her father's reign.
Until then, her mother, the new Queen Maxima, is sure to remain a study in beauty and elegance. Unlike other more stodgy queens, she has a gift for taking fashion to the edge and pulling it back just enough to keep it royal.
It is hard to think of a more beautiful, fascinating queen these days.
Who do you think is the most beautiful or fascinating queen on earth? Weigh in.

It didn't take Pat Robertson long, did it?
He couldn't even wait until his younger protégé, Bob McDonnell, was sworn in as the next governor of Virginia before he put the spotlight on himself.
In the wake of the Fort Hood shootings, Robertson took a new opportunity to make an ignorant and hateful remark about Muslims, something he's done before. This time, though, he set a new standard in expressing his loathing for Islam.
I'm still not sure what to make of Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist who allegedly killed 12 soldiers and one civilian employee of the Army at Fort Hood three weeks ago. I use the phrase "allegedly killed" because, under our legal system, a person is considered innocent until proven guilty in court.
ccidents happen.
Sometimes those accidents can't be avoided, but far too often they could have been. Reducing the speed on secondary roads in Virginia might help.
The Bedford County Board of Supervisors plans to ask legislators to lower the speed limits on all secondary roads from 55 miles per hour to 45 mph, unless a different speed is posted. That change could potentially help save lives in Bedford County and across the commonwealth.
It's a request worthy of consideration.
Festival of Trees
When we moved here several years ago it was a pleasant surprise to see the signs, "Bedford, The Christmas Capital of Virginia."
We have enjoyed the display at the Elks Home and really appreciate the work involved for the wonderful display at Liberty Lake Park. What a treat for the children to see the Christmas Parade and enjoy the Buggy Rides in Centertown on Fridays.
I want to update Virginians on some of the efforts I am undertaking in Congress to get our economy back on track.
Democrats picked up two more seats in the House on Election Day, winning special elections in New York and California. The party's majority in the House now is such that it won't be seriously threatened for many election cycles.
Most of the media's attention was on New York's 23rd congressional district. There, conservative ideologues wickedly attacked the GOP nominee and forced her out of the race.
A couple of months ago, thanks to some enterprising private citizens, ACORN got caught giving advice on how to break the law.
Videos surfaced in September of employees at ACORN field offices in three different cities advising a pair, posing as a pimp and a prostitute, on how to launder money earned from prostitution. They also got advice on how to evade the law to bring underage prostitutes into the country and house them.

We recently characterized the domains of the human cofactor protein CD46 involved in binding species B2 adenovirus (Ad) serotype 35. Here, the CD46 binding determinants are mapped for the species B1 Ad serotypes 3 and 7 and for the species B2 Ad11. Ad3, 7 and 11 bound and transduced CD46-positive rodent BHK cells at levels similar to Ad35. By using antibody-blocking experiments, hybrid CD46-CD4 receptor constructs and CD46 single point mutants, it is shown that Ad3, 7 and 11 share many of the Ad35-binding features on CD46. Both CD46 short consensus repeat domains SCR I and SCR II were necessary and sufficient for optimal binding and transgene expression, provided that they were positioned at an appropriate distance from the cell membrane. Similar to Ad35, most of the putative binding residues of Ad3, 7 and 11 were located on the same glycan-free, solvent-exposed face of the SCR I or SCR II domains, largely overlapping with the binding surface of the recently solved fiber knob Ad11-SCR I-II three-dimensional structure. Differences between species B1 and B2 Ads were documented with competition experiments based on anti-CD46 antibodies directed against epitopes flanking the putative Ad-binding sites, and with competition experiments based on soluble CD46 protein. It is concluded that the B1 and B2 species of Ad engage CD46 through similar binding surfaces.

Wideman impressed by the Panthers
Before Monday's 5-4 victory over the Capitals, former Panthers defenseman Dennis Wideman, who played 61 games for Florida last season with 33 points but a minus-26, said he's been impressed by what he's seen out of the revamped Cats.
"Weiss has always been a good player. Versteeg's got off to a great start, so has Fleischmann. They're playing really well right now. I'm seeing highlights and they're scoring a lot of goals, so that's great. It'll be tough to slow those guys down."
Wideman said the Panthers blue-liners were solid when he was there and are improving.
"They had a good base from the blue line [last year]," he said. "[But now with] Campbell and Jovo, Gudbranson …"
Wideman had fun with how Jason Garrison has suddenly become an offensive weapon from the point with eight goals to lead all NHL defensemen by two.
"He would shoot but he just missed the net all the time," laughed Wideman. "Now, he's hitting it every time and he's got a rocket, a bomb, that's for sure. He's a great skater, strong, a good defenseman and he can bomb it."
When I asked Wideman if he would try to block it, he joked: "That's what goalies get paid for. Certain guys kind of ole it a little bit. Goalies got all that padding. If [Mike] Weaver's shooting I'll catch it with my teeth."

I always want to give a try to a new brand of chips. When I first tasted the Rhythm Superfood Chips at the recent Fancy Food Show in San Francisco, I loved their crispy texture and their interesting, grown-up flavor. Known as super veggie chips, are made from different type of grains, seeds and vegetables including quinoa, amaranth, sesame seeds, flaxeed, yellow and white corn and pea protein.
The Rhythm Superfood Chips are available in four distinctive flavors: Sea Salt, Nacho, Barbeque and Jalapeno. They all taste amazing but my favorite is the Barbeque. Here is what I discovered:
The Barbeque Rhythm Superfood Chips have 110 calories per 28 grams of serving with only 40 calories of fat, 3 grams of fiber, 4 grams of protein and 12 grams of whole grains. Carbs reach 14 grams per serving and sugars only 1 gram.
The product is free from gluten, GMOs, trans fats, cholesterol, artificial flavors, colors and preservatives and is also kosher certified.
The Barbeque Rhythm Superfood Chips are ideal for a healthy and delicious evening snack that is low in calories and will pair nicely with your glass of Chardonnay or even with a bottle of beer. I would even serve them with my favorite guacamole or salsa dip.

The "Littlewood Problem" in the title asks for a characterization of finite sequences
n1< ...< nk of integers such that zn1+zn2+...+znk≠0 for any complex number z of unit modulus.
Does anybody know about the current status of this problem?
Some Background
1)I came to know this Littlewood Problem through the paper of Casazza & Kalton, http://www.jstor.org/pss/2699467.
2)For k=2,3,4, by some simple geometric argument, a complete characterization can be easily obtained. I wonder if such a result has already appeared in the literature.
3)Furthermore, I wonder if at least for the case of k=5, (or indeed, similarly for any k),the following is true? And if it is, whether it is in the literature somewhere.
Suppose that for some complex number z of unit modulus and some integers n1< ...< n5,
then either zn1,zn2,..,zn5 are evenly distributed on the unite circle (i.e., they look like the 5th roots of unit after a certain rotation is applied to each) or three pounts among zn1,zn2,..,zn5 are evenly distributed on the unite circle.

"An Autumn Fanfare" Band Concert set for November 3
On Monday, November 3, 7:00pm, a variety of music will once again fill Culbertson Auditorium as the Sterling Community/Sterling College Concert Band presents "An Autumn Fanfare". In addition to the concert band, the event will feature the Sterling College Jazz Band and the premiere performance of the Sterling College Flute Choir under the direction of Jennifer Kirk, Flute Instructor.
The Flute Choir is the latest addition to the department's ensembles having been rehearsing only since early September. "We are very excited about performing," said Kirk. "Our members are both students and community members, so more members are welcome. A flute choir is a unique sound once an alto and bass flute are added. In this concert, we'll have an alto flute to add depth to an otherwise treble sound."
The Concert Band, under the direction of Prof. Blair Martin, Director of Bands, combines Sterling College students and community members. "The ensemble is stronger than ever," Martin said. "We have a better balance this year, and the audience will hear music that is challenging for the band yet highly entertaining." The hour-long concert is free and open to the public.
For more information about joining a musical ensemble, contact Prof. Martin at email@example.com.

News › The little girl who danced across a bridge
The little girl who danced across a bridge
March 29, 2012 by Sophia Jones

On a recent visit to eastern Zimbabwe I was delighted to meet the girl who was pictured on our website dancing across a new footbridge built with help from the International Rescue Committee. The photo became extremely popular among IRC supporters on Facebook.
A few weeks ago I had the privilege to meet 11-year-old Annamore Chinyede and some of her friends at the very same bridge, which replaced an older span across the river that was too decrepit to use. I was keen to find out more about this bubbly little girl.
"I have two sisters and three brothers. I am number three," Annamore told me in very good English, counting on three fingers to show me her place in the family.
Annamore's favorite subjects in school are Religious and Moral Education, Social Studies and Science. She also enjoys athletics and says that when she grows up she would like to be a nurse.
I asked her why she had danced across the footbridge. "I was very happy," she explained. "Before, the bridge was dangerous. It has now changed for the better."
Annamore and her classmates use the footbridge daily to go to school. (Photo: Sophia Jones-Mwangi/IRC)
Some of the smaller children are a little frightened of the bridge, but it is much safer than the old one. (Photo: Sophia Jones-Mwangi/IRC)

Katie Peters' coffin is carried out at the funeral of the young firefighter on Friday in Eskdale, north Victoria. Photo: Ben Eyles
MORE than 500 mourners gathered at Eskdale for the funeral of DSE firefighter Katie Peters.
Friends and family have paid tribute to the larrikin sister and workmate tragically killed in the Harrietville fire last week.
Politics was put aside as Victorian Premier Ted Baillieu joined Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews as part of a guard of honour that also included Katie's fellow DSE firefighters.
Katie Peters' coffin is carried out at the funeral of the young firefighter on Friday in Eskdale, north Victoria.
Eulogies by Katie's uncle, fellow firefighters and friends described her as having a love for life and an infectious personality.
Ms Peters, who grew up in the Mitta Valley, died alongside her colleague Steven Kadar on Wednesday last week.
The pair were killed when a tree fell on their emergency vehicle as they fought the Harrietville bushfires.
Department of Sustainability and Environment Chief Fire Officer Alan Goodwin said it took a special person to be a firefighter and Katie Peters was ''very special''.

If $(\mathcal{C},W)$ is a category with weak equivalences then we may naturally form its Dwyer-Kan simplicial localisation $L(\mathcal{C}, W)$. This is a simplicial category which naturally gives a simplicial enrichment of the usual 1-categorical localisation $\mathcal{C}[W^{-1}]$. I have two questions:
Is the $\infty$-category associated to $(\mathcal{C}, W)$ the simplicial nerve of a fibrant replacent of $L(\mathcal{C}, W)$?
Is it actually true that $L(\mathcal{C}, W)$ is a fibrant simplicial category itself, that is all hom-spaces are $\infty$-groupoids?

How Male and Female Brains Differ
How Males and Females Use Mental Skills continued...
While the brain allows us to think, it also drives our emotions. It may not come as a surprise, then, that the ability to identify and control emotions varies between sexes.
"Women are faster and more accurate at identifying emotions," says Ruben Gur, PhD, a neurologist at the University of Pennsylvania. Studies have shown women to be more adept than men at encoding facial differences and determining changing vocal intonations.
Women, as a whole, may also be better than men at controlling their emotions. Gur and colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania recently discovered that sections of the brain used to control aggression and anger responses are larger in women than in men.
Gender-Based Skills Overlap and Complement
Recent studies that highlight sex-associated brain differences may lead us to believe that men and women have little in common upstairs. That's not the case. "Men and women do have lots of brain areas that are the same," Geary tells WebMD. Moreover, members of both sexes excel at skills that are commonly labeled gender specific. "All of these things have overlapping distributions. There are many women with better-than-average spatial skills, and men with good writing skills," Geary says.
Some researchers believe that nurturing one's brain can enhance what nature has provided. Consider, for instance, the general superiority of males' spatial abilities. "There's a lot of evidence that we build up our brain's representation of space by moving through it," Denckla tells WebMD. As anyone who spends a significant time around children knows, boys tend to get a lot more practice "moving through space" -- chasing a ball, for instance -- than girls do. "My hypothesis is that we could possibly erase this difference if we pushed girls out into the exploratory mode," Denckla says. She predicts that as more and more girls engage in sports traditionally reserved for boys, like soccer, the data on spatial ability will show fewer disparities between females and males.
Others believe brain variations between sexes are for the best. "Most of these differences are complementary. They increase the chances of males and females joining together. It helps the whole species," Gur says.

TC TO RALPH WALDO EMERSON ; 9 April 1859; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18590409-TC-RWE-01; CL 35: 68-69
Chelsea, London, 9 April, 1859
Dear Emerson,—Long months ago there was sent off for you a Copy of Friedrich of Prussia, Two big red Volumes1 (for whh Chapman the Publisher had found some "safe swift" vehichle); and now I have reason to fear they are still loitering somewhere, or at least have long loitered; sorrow on them! This is to say: If you have not yet got them, address a line to "Saml F. Flower2 Esq, Librarian of Antiquarian Society Worcester Mass." (forty miles from you, they say); and that will at once bring them. In the Devil's name!—
I never in my life was so near choked; swimming in this mother of Dead Dogs,3 and a long spell of it still ahead! I profoundly pity myself4 (if no one else does). You shall hear of me again if I survive;—but really that is getting beyond a joke with me; and I ought to hold my peace (even to you) and swim what I can.
Your little Touch of Human Speech on Burns5 was charming; had got into the Papers here6 (and been clipt out by me) before yr Copy came;—and has gone far & wide since: Neuberg was to give it me in German from the Allgemeine Zeitung;7 but lost the leaf.—— Adieu, my Friend; very dear to me, tho' dumb.
T. Carlyle (in such haste as seldom was)—

Between E3 2014 and the upcoming San Diego Comic-Con, "The Witcher" fans have got plenty to get hyped about. CD Projekt RED annunced on July 10 that they'll be showing a live 30 minute demo of "The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt" gameplay. The room can only seat 1000 so very few people will get to see this 30 minute demo live.
And if that's not enough to get your excitement running for this game, then maybe a sweet deal on pricing and pre-order bonuses will. Normally when a game is in the pre-order stage, the prices at all stores are within a few pennies of one another. That's not the case with "The Witcher 3" and GOG.com. With GOG, you can get the complete digital "Witcher 3" game for only $50.99 or even $47.99. That's a whopping 15% or even 20% off.
All you have to do to get that 20% discount is own "The Witcher" and "The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings." As long as you purchased the PC or Mac versions of "The Witcher" and "The Witcher 2", you can redeem a backup copy on GOG.com. This gives you access to DRM-free versions of the games in you GOG library, and it also unlocks "The Witcher 3" discount.
If you only redeem one of the previous games in "The Witcher" series you get a 15% discount, but if you register both with GOG you get the full 20% off. It doesn't stop with just the game though. You get pre-order exclusives that no other company is offering, some of which are available for immediate download. The immediately available items include:
- "Neverwinter Nights: Diamond Edition"
- "The Witcher: House of Glass" comic book produced by Dark Horse Comics
- 4 exclusive bonus sound tracks
- Exclusive artwork from the game, some not published anywhere else
- HD wallpapers with never before seen art
- Profile icons for use on social media sites
- In-depth video about the game's creation and all trailers in 1080p
Items guaranteed to you, but available at a later date, or at the game's release, include:
- "The Witcher Adventure Game" multiplayer closed beta access for two people
- "The Witcher" full soundtrack
- Digital artbook with over 200 pages of original art
- World map
And GOG says there are more great bonuses to come. And with the wait until February, CD Projekt RED may add some great new exclusives to the downloadable release.
GOG only offers downloadable content. They do not ship physical copies of games. If you want "The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt Collector's Edition" with all the physical goodies, like the physical artbook, Geralt battling a griffin statue and the medallion, then you'll still need to buy from a store that offers physical game delivery.
"The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt" will be available in stores and for download on February 24, 2014.

Aerosmith fans, you can thank Steven Tyler for that new CD/DVD combo, "Rockin' the Joint (Live at The Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas)," to stuff into Christmas stockings this year. According to guitarist Brad Whitford, the hyperactive frontman got bored during the band's year-long hiatus and suggested putting together a live album. "We started listening to a bunch of shows," Whitford says. "This particular show in Las Vegas, everybody agreed, was just one of those special nights." He adds that the group wasn't even planning on having a disc to release when they first laid the groundwork for their current tour, which stopped at Cleveland State University's Wolstein Center in December.
"We would love to be touring around some new music," he admits. "It's always nice to promote a new album. But I guess we're just not ready yet."
Whitford spent the downtime that he did get producing a very special solo project with fianc�e Kim: a son, Aidan, now five months old. "We're just having a great time with him," he raves. The 53-year-old father of four concedes that raising a child probably won't be the same old song and dance this time around. "You have the energy to chase them when you're in your 30s and 40s," he says. "The older you get, you may not have that energy." Dad is definitely feeling the effects of sleep deprivation. The band has been commuting from their Boston-area homes to a string of East-Coast dates, which means he hasn't been indulging in nights of uninterrupted slumber at four-star hotels.
"You'll find me napping in the backs of cars and on airplanes," he chuckles.
The weary Whitford hasn't lost his sense of humor, though. Footage of the freshly showered guitarist, clad only in a towel and wielding a blow dryer backstage, was recently posted on Aerosmith.com with his blessing. He explains that he was innocently drying the sweat-soaked tube socks he had worn onstage (he forgot to pack extras) in a way that produced, uh, a very interesting result when bassist Tom Hamilton pulled out a video camera.
"That went into his archives for a while," Whitford says of the tape. "Then somebody called me up and said, "Do you remember this video? Do you care if we put it on the Web site?' I have no shame, so I said, 'Go ahead.' "

It has been just a few months since the announcement broke that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West would be getting married. The proposal occurred on Kardashian's birthday in front of her entire family and the filming crew of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Fans have been waiting on the edge of their seats to find out when the couple would tie the knot. According to a March 5 report from Xpose Entertainment, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West will be getting married on May 24 in Paris. The date is just a little under three months away and the planning is already in full gear.
This will be the third wedding for Kim Kardashian and the first for Kanye West. The couple plans to keep things intimate, with just a small group of close friends and family attending. West wants to invite several "big name"people in the fashion industry but Kardashian isn't quite sure yet. They have been axing people from the already drafted guest list.
Fans are waiting to learn whether or not the wedding will be filmed for the television series or possibly will air as a special for the network. It could go either way with Kim Kardashian loving the attention and Kanye West being more on the private side. Either way, May 24 will be a big deal for the entire Kardashian clan as they attend one of the most anticipated weddings of 2014.

In 1968, the U.S. Supreme Court held that a shopping mall was the modern equivalent of main street, the "normal municipal business district." It concluded that the landowner could not "limit the use of that property by members of the public in a manner that would not be permissible were the property owned by a municipality." (Amalgamated Foods Employees Union Local 590 v. Logan Valley Plaza)
But in a subsequent decision the Court retreated from this position, stating that property does not "lose its private character merely because the public is generally invited to use it for designated purposes." (Lloyd Corp. v. Tanner)
Then, in 1980, the U.S. Supreme Court essentially left the question of access to malls up to the states, holding that the federal Constitution affords no general right to free speech in privately-owned shopping centers. (PruneYard Shopping Center v. Robins)
However, state constitutions may be interpreted to provide greater protection for expression, and therefore newsgathering, than the U.S. Constitution. States may therefore afford the public greater protection for expression in a shopping mall, even at the expense of the owner's property interest. Since the high court's decision in PruneYard, several state supreme and appellate courts have ruled on the issue of whether their state constitutions give people the right to enter shopping malls for noncommercial purposes such as political campaigning or gathering signatures for an initiative petition.
Courts that have found constitutional protection for these activities have given a variety of reasons for their decisions.
For example, the Colorado Supreme Court found that a town's financial support of a shopping mall, and the range of non-shopping activities allowed there, made the center the equivalent of a public forum. This finding was sufficient to trigger the state constitution's free speech clause, which prevented the mall owners from excluding citizens involved in nonviolent political speech. Courts have also ruled that if a shopping mall allows some political opinions to be expressed, it must allow speakers of all types onto the premises.
Almost all courts that have found a right of access to shopping malls have also said that center owners may promulgate reasonable time, place and manner regulations on noncommercial speech activities. Under the three-part test discussed earlier, these rules must be content neutral, narrowly tailored to serve a significant state interest and leave open ample channels of communication.
Other state courts have given citizens a right under their constitutions' ballot initiative and referendum clauses to enter shopping malls to gather signatures for petitions to put various issues on the ballot. At least one court has ruled this to be a limited right of access that does not give people the right to exercise other free speech rights in a shopping mall.
State appellate courts that have not found a right of access have usually done so on the ground that the state constitution does not confer greater free expression rights than the First Amendment.
Listed below are the specific holdings for each of the 19 states that have considered the question as of October 1997.
Arizona: An Arizona appellate court found that its state constitution does not require private property owners to permit political activities on their premises. Citizens have no right to enter a shopping mall for purposes other than shopping or promoting shopping. (Fiesta Mall Venture v. Mecham Recall Committee)
California: The California Supreme Court has held that its free speech clause protects citizens from private action as well as state action and grants issue-oriented free speech rights at a regional shopping center. "[S]peech and petitioning, reasonably exercised, in shopping centers even when the centers are privately owned" are protected by the California Constitution, the high court ruled. (Robins v. PruneYard Shopping Center)
Colorado: A city's financial support of a shopping mall, including its operation of a police substation inside the mall, combined with the range of activities permitted in the mall, made it a latter-day public forum sufficient to trigger the Colorado Constitution's free-speech clause, according to the state's highest court. This clause prevented the owners of the mall from excluding citizens involved in nonviolent political speech. (Bock v. Westminster Mall Co.)
Connecticut: Connecticut's constitutional guarantees of free speech and press do not allow the public to exercise those rights in regional shopping malls without the owners' permission. (Cologne v. Westfarms Assoc.)
Florida: According to the Florida Supreme Court, the concept of implied consent extends to any type of property where a newsworthy event has occurred, "whether or not the place of the (event) is a burned out home, an office or other building or place." (Florida Publishing Co. v. Fletcher)
Georgia: The Georgia Supreme Court in 1990 ruled that if the owners of a mall have enforced a policy prohibiting all solicitation and political activity on the premises, nothing in the state constitution or state law gives private citizens the right to enter the mall to solicit signatures for a recall petition. A concurring opinion observed that the case decided only the narrow issue of the right to gather signatures for a petition. The court did not decide the broader issue of the right to use commercial property for political purposes generally, according to the concurring opinion. (Citizens for Ethical Gov't v. Gwinnett Place Assoc.)
Illinois: The Illinois Supreme Court, in a case decided prior to PruneYard Shopping Center, rejected the First Amendment claims of a group who entered a shopping center to distribute leaflets condemning racial tensions in that town. The court followed the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Lloyd Corp. v. Tanner, which rejected the First Amendment claims of persons barred from distributing anti-war literature in a shopping mall. (People v. Sterling)
More recently, the Illinois Supreme Court ruled that a food store that allowed members of the general public access to its property for non-commercial expressive conduct could exclude persons collecting signatures on a political nominating petition. The high court held that the free speech provision of the Illinois Constitution does not apply to actions of private individuals, but only to actions by the state. (People v. Diguida)
Massachusetts: The Massachusetts Supreme Court has ruled that the state constitutional guarantee of free and equal elections gives political candidates the right to solicit signatures for a nominating petition in a shopping center's mall area. (Batchelder v. Allied Stores Int'l, Inc.)
Michigan: The Michigan Supreme Court ruled in 1985 that neither the state constitution's free speech clause nor its provision granting citizens the powers of initiative and referendum prohibit mall owners from denying or restricting access to citizens exercising those rights. (Woodland v. Michigan Citizens Lobby)
New Jersey: The New Jersey Supreme Court held in 1994 that the state constitution prohibits shopping malls from barring free speech activities. Regional shopping centers are the next logical place for free speech protection, the court said. However, the court only addressed the rights of leafletters, and said that mall owners have broad power to adopt regulations concerning time, place and manner of exercising the right of free speech. (New Jersey Coalition Against War in the Middle East v. JMB Realty)
New York: New York's highest court ruled in 1985 that shopping mall owners could prohibit any kind of campaigning, petitioning or distributing of leaflets if there was in place a blanket, no handbilling policy. However, a concurring justice emphasized that the decision only applied to situations in which a mall owner had an absolute content-neutral prohibition of noncommercial expressive conduct. Once mall owners open their doors to noncommercial speech activity, they cannot exclude individuals entering the mall for that purpose on the basis of the content of their expression, according to the concurring opinion. (SHAD Alliance v. Smith Haven Mall)
North Carolina: The state Supreme Court has ruled that its state constitution may allow citizens to engage in free speech activities in shopping centers. However, the court held in a 1981 decision that the state constitution does not provide protection to signature gatherers who "accost" customers in the private parking lot of a mall if the owner has banned all solicitation. (State v. Felmet)
North Dakota: The North Dakota Supreme Court ruled in 1991 that a shopping mall that was built on city property but leased to private developers constituted a public forum. The mall owners can therefore only limit expressive activity, such as a protest by an antiabortion group, if the regulation is necessary to serve a compelling state interest and is narrowly drawn to achieve that end. Mall owners may also make content-neutral rules regulating the time, place and manner of activities but they also must be narrowly tailored to serve a significant state interest and leave open ample channels of communication. (City of Jamestown v. Beneda)
Ohio: The Ohio Constitution's free speech guarantees are no broader than the First Amendment, and therefore an injunction prohibiting picketing and handbilling at a shopping mall is constitutional, the state high court ruled in 1994. (Eastwood Mall v. Slanco)
Oregon: The Oregon Supreme Court in 1989 ruled that persons entering on mall property to gather petition signatures could not be completely prohibited from doing so. The court ruled that mall owners could bar groups from activities, such as setting up card tables on the property, that would substantially interfere with their business. The state high court did not decide the issue on constitutional grounds. (Lloyd Corp. v. Whiffen)
However, in 1990 the Oregon Court of Appeals ruled that the state constitution's initiative and referendum clause, which allows citizens to place measures on the ballot if enough signatures are collected, allowed signature gatherers to enter shopping malls for this purpose. The appeals court based its ruling on the finding that shopping centers have become modern day town squares and access to them is necessary to preserve the people's power of initiative and referendum. (Oregon v. Cargill)
Pennsylvania: Shopping mall owners are not required to provide a political forum for people with views on public issues so long as the owner has a blanket policy barring everyone from engaging in political speech on the premises. (Western Pa. Socialist Workers v. Conn. Gen. Life Ins. Co.)
South Carolina: The South Carolina Supreme Court in April 1992 held that neither the state nor federal free speech rights of a couple who distributed literature designed to increase awareness about child sex abuse were violated by a mall's refusal to allow these activities on its property. (Charleston Joint Venture v. McPherson)
Washington: The free speech provision of Washington's constitution does not allow a political organization to solicit contributions and sell literature in a privately owned shopping mall, the state Supreme Court ruled in 1989. (Southcenter v. Nat'l Dem. Comm.)
In a 1981 decision, the court ruled that people have a right under the initiative provision of the state constitution to enter malls to solicit signatures for an initiative petition in a manner that does not violate or unreasonably restrict the rights of private property owners. (Alderwood Assoc. v. Wash. Envtl. Council)
Wisconsin: The free speech provisions of the state constitution provide individuals only with protection from government interference with their rights of expression, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled in 1987. Therefore, the court ruled a privately owned mall could prohibit an antinuclear dance troupe from performing on mall property. (Jacobs v. Major)

Women's role in the workforce has grown dramatically over the last few decades and nowhere is that trend as visible as in Salt Lake City, Utah. According to a recent article, it turns out that women in Utah know a thing or two when it comes to entrepreneurship and have surpassed the average in starting new businesses in the US. As of late last year, the article went on to say that Utah "has an estimated 72,800 women-owned firms, employing 58,300 workers, and those companies are expected to generate $13 billion in sales."
One such example of a woman entrepreneur is Amy Rees, who started a company that sells and installs medical scheduling software. She has since sold the business for about $300 million dollars. Her success has made her a role model for women across Utah with the same dreams and aspirations. Although, when she was starting out there weren't as many women in tech, she successfully found a niche market and turned her idea into a multimillion-dollar giant.
The majority of women entrepreneurs in Utah, however, focus on small businesses that offer flexibility instead of being driven by the bottom line. One reason that there might not be as many women in tech is due to the lack of investors in Utah says Annette McClellan. Another reason might be the lack of enrollment in the science and math classes. A larger emphasis on STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) in school will encourage girls, at a younger age, to focus on these types of subjects.
Change is coming to Utah, more and more girls are becoming interested in STEM subjects, and successful women entrepreneurs are here to help and mentor these hopeful young entrepreneurs. Rees Anderson is one of those women and is doing her part by "starting an investment firm called REES Capital as well as a foundation dedicated to teaching entrepreneurship." She's also "putting together a new fund specifically for women entrepreneurs."
Positive changes are taking place in Utah's tech industry and women are becoming a leading force behind the growth.
