11.29.2011 / David makes it look too easy as the Huskers finish their regular season play. Blog posting by Mike Babcock, Huskers Illustrated Magazine.
Late in the third quarter of the Huskers 20 to 7 victory against Iowa, Husker senior linebacker Lavonte David was pushed to the ground while covering Iowa tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz on a pass route, freeing Fiedorowicz to catch the pass. David managed to get up, catch Fiedorowicz and pull him down, taking away the ball as he did.
"I just saw the ball hanging out, and I took a shot at it," David said. He made the play sound so matter of fact, so easy. That's how it's been the past two seasons, David making the difficult seem easy.
As a junior, after transferring from Fort Scott (Kan.) Community College and immediately stepping into the starting lineup, he broke the school single-season record for tackles with 152. And this season, though he's had fewer tackles (122), he's been just as much of a playmaker.
Against Ohio State, his strip of the ball from Buckeye quarterback Braxton Miller midway through the third quarter was the turning point in a comeback victory. At Penn State, he was involved in three consecutive tackles to stop the Nittany Lions on their next-to-last possession to preserve the 17-14 victory.
And even in the lopsided loss at Michigan, a game in which coach Bo Pelini said everyone shared responsibility, David was the exception, making a season-high 17 tackles. "He plays his tail off every time he goes out there," Pelini said afterward.
That's why David is a finalist for the Butkus Award, presented annually to the nation's top collegiate linebacker. Only one Husker has ever won the award, Trev Alberts in 1993. Broderick Thomas (1988) and Ed Stewart (1994) also were Butkus Award finalists.
This year's winner will be announced on or before Dec. 7, about the time Nebraska will officially learn its bowl destination, almost certainly one in Florida, with speculation focusing on either the Capital One Bowl in Orlando or the Outback Bowl in Tampa, both scheduled for Jan. 2.
Either bowl would be fine with David, not only for the reward it represents for a season well played but also because he could finish his Husker career in his home state – he's from Miami.
After the Iowa game, Husker I-back Rex Burkhead called David the "greatest" with whom he had ever played. "It means a lot because I feel the same way about Rex, man," David said.

SEATTLE (AP) — For all the firsts Lorenzo Romar has experienced in his decade-plus tenure at Washington, this was one he didn't want his program associated with.
Last March, after the Huskies captured the Pac-12 Conference regular season title, Washington flamed out in the quarterfinals of the conference tournament and left its postseason fate in the hands of the NCAA tournament committee. When the Huskies were bypassed for the NCAAs and forced to accept an NIT bid as a consolation prize, they became the first regular season champion of one of the six power conferences to not get an NCAA bid
Embarrassing as it was hearing that fact repeated constantly, it's now become motivation for the Huskies entering a new season rife with questions.

The twelfth annual Maryland Deathfest was held in Baltimore May 22-25, luring thousands of black t-shirt wearing metal heads into standing in a parking lot (and in other indoor venues) over Memorial Day. This year's event began at The Ottobar on May 21 with a pre-fest and then continued through Sunday at locations in downtown Baltimore, including a parking lot under I-83 (Edison Lot), Baltimore Soundstage (for the punk and hardcore bands), Rams Head Live and The Sidebar. I think nearly 100 bands performed over these five days.
In this article, I want to focus more on the logistics of the fest, rather than the performances. There were many astounding performances, but I will address the music in another post.
In a way, Maryland Deathfest is starting to seem like another large city music fest, South By South West. Traveling between venues was not new this year --it started in 2013--but this year it included a total of five official MDF locations. There was also an unofficial music event taking place in the Paparazzi Night Club (the former Sonar where MDF had been held for years). But this event, dubbed Deathscape, met with a lot of scorn from local MDF attendees. I am unclear on many details of Deathscape but I do know of a few local bands that played.
That this was, by far, the most fun I have had at MDF. I saw 37 bands! That's amazing because in the past (I have attended since 2011) I would be lucky to get to 20 different bands. This was likely due to many factors unrelated to how MDF was organized. However, I thought the set up at 545 High Street worked really well and made getting around much more efficient for me.
Even if I was not actually watching a band with my eyeballs, I could hear them clearly from anywhere on the Edison Lot grounds. The sight lines were good at the outdoor space if you stood further back. Or you could perch on one of the shaded picnic tables and still hear and see OK.
As far as the indoor venues went, both the sound at Baltimore SoundStage and Rams Head Live was pretty good and the sight lines decent for a short person like me. I was very happy that the entire Rams Head was opened up on every level. Sitting in the bleachers at the tip-top of Rams Head was kind of a cop out but if your feet were killing you from all the standing, it was some welcome relief.
Walking between venues was not a problem. It took about 7-10 minutes for me to walk from Edison lot to Soundstage if I walked briskly and caught the lights. Mother Nature cooperated by keeping the rain away and not letting it get too hot.
Nice changes this year were shorter lines to get in, for vendors, and for bathrooms. The wait time between bands at Edison lot was negligible. I really appreciated being able to get my four-day pass at the Ottobar pre-fest, which featured several of the band that played later in the fest.
There were a few things I wished they had been done differently.
- Water should have been free. I saw several people passing out from dehydration. $2-$3 for water, depending on who you were buying it from, was too much to keep yourself hydrated. Alternatively, people should have been allowed to bring in a couple of sealed water bottles.
- Misting tents would have been nice if it had been a any hotter.
- Sunscreen samples would have helped. I had plenty of sunscreen on, but I am sure a sunscreen company would be happy to pass out coupons and free samples. Let's not get skin cancer just because we like outdoor music fests.
- I wish the entrance to Edison Lot had been at the south end and not the north, but it wasn't a huge hassle to walk all the way to the other side to enter. Still, when trucking over to the other venues, minutes sometimes counted.
- The Edison Lot layout was set up like a V. It would have been nicer if it had been more of a circle so that you didn't have to walk back up out of the vendor spaces to get to the stages. But again, you could really hear pretty well anywhere in the lot.
- I would like to see one very obvious and centralized place for bands to display their merchandize. Several had theirs at the MDF merch tent, but others were scattered throughout the vendor area at their relative labels. As far as I could tell, there was only one table for short-term merch display. Finding merch was like a scavenger hunt. Merch was better displayed at Rams Head and Soundstage.
- Rams Head and Soundstage charge way too much for drinks and food. But this was easy to rectify, just don't buy anything from them.
My plans to attend MDF in 2015 are already set. If they maintain this arrangement, I will certainly go again.

Built in 1998 in conjunction with the Ed Moshofsky Sports Complex, Pape' Field stands out as one of the nation's finest collegiate soccer venues and is home to the University of Oregon womens' soccer and lacrosse programs.
The 81,000-square-foot field sits adjacent to three football practice fields that encompass a total of 265,000 square feet, with the entire area also utilized by other varsity teams during off-season conditioning. The soccer playing field's dimensions of 75 yards x 120 yards comfortably meet the NCAA standards for width (not larger than 80 yards or less than 65), and length (not more than 120 yards or less than 110). Pape' field's dimensions also accommodate our newest sport nicely, as an area of 120 yards by 70 yards is desirable for lacrosse play. For lacrosse games, visual guidelines are placed along the edges of the field to aide in officiating.
The seating area was added in 1999, and hosted a record 2,055 fans at the Civil War soccer game on October 15, 2004. The venue also features concession areas, restrooms, ticket booths, and a sheltered press row and scorer area with seating for 20.
The 2002 season welcomed the addition of field lights, and Duck soccer played its first night game vs. Gonzaga on September 6. Athletes can now practice outdoors 24-7 the entire year, or can easily shift indoors to the adjacent Ed Moshofsky Sports Center, the first and still-finest all-weather indoor facility on the West Coast.
Pape' Field's natural grass playing surface is regarded as one of the best on the West Coast. The grass was grown from an original blend of Perennial Ryegrass (80 percent) and Kentucky Bluegrass (20 percent), and all seed was locally grown in Linn County at Malpass Farms in Harrisburg, Ore. Currently, the field is maintained at a mowing height of 1.125 inches, and is cut 4-5 times per week during the growing months.
Underneath the turf, the underlying drainage system is equally state-of-the art, with a herringbone design and lateral piping every 15 feet, atop a sand base that facilitates quick drainage. The root zone is 12 inches of modified USGA blend sand from the Columbia River Basin, and lies over a 4-inch gravel blanket. This system, when first installed, had a percolation rate of 14 inches per hour.
A fully automatic Rainbird irrigation unit is also permanently in place, and its 64 heads provide a 1/4 inch of water in 45 minutes.
Other field of play dimensions follow: goal area (20 x 6 yards), penalty kick line (12 yards), goal box (44 x18 yards), circle (10-yard radius), coach/team boxes (20 yards wide).

The Phoenix Rock Gym in Tempe was bustling Saturday as more than 70 boys and girls from ages 6 to 18 -- some from as far away as Utah and New Mexico -- participated in the 14th annual American Boulder Series' Southern Mountain Regional competition .
All kids who are interested in rock climbing in the Southern Mountain Region, which includes, the Valley, Utah, New Mexico and Southern Nevada, were eligible to compete in this local event, said Justin Wagner, who designs the rock-climbing routes for Phoenix Rock Gym.
"I got my first taste of rock climbing when I was in the second grade," said Ellie Kerr, 13, of Chandler, one the top climbers in her division. "But I got really serious about doing this competitively about three years ago when I was 10. This is my true passion. I love the challenge and the competition. The climbing community is very supportive; even those I compete against have yelled words of encouragement during some of my most difficult climbs.
About 72 pieces of rocks -- formally known as holds -- are scattered in a variety of directions on the face of a 12-foot-high by 20-foot-wide wall that composes the typical route each competitor negotiates.
"Your hands and your feet must be supported by the appropriate hold if you are going make progress in your climb," Wagner said. "There are times when the hands are properly placed but the feet are not, and this forces the competitor to re-think their strategy or to dismount and start the route all over."
Overall, the competition area consists of 70 routes composed of approximately 4,000 holds; this allows competitors who average anywhere from five to 10 climbs per competition to engage hundreds of holds throughout the course of the event.
Jeremy Cox, a 32-year-old Tempe resident with six years of rock-climbing experience and three years of coaching the Tempe-based Team Rock Phenoms team, said a main ingredient in coaching young climbers is developing their focus and mental toughness.
"Underneath the surface, rock climbing is really about problem solving," he said. "Each competitor must think long and hard about how to navigate their climb efficiently and safely. They cannot just approach a route and begin climbing. They must first assess the patterns of the rocks that make up a specific route and decide where they should position their hands and their feet along the way."

Great Golf Ahead, but It Will Be Played Without Woods
Your guest Fixer is Garey Ris:
After returning from an eight-month rehabilitation, the world's most popular golfer is free for the weekend.
A day after winning his first match of the Accenture Match Play Championship, Woods lost to South African Tim Clark, 4-and-2, on Thursday. No doubt, Woods's absence will affect TV ratings. The expectations were enormous, and while Woods didn't win Thursday, people are talking about golf again.
"The fact that he has so raised the expectations — no other athlete, coming off a blown-out ACL, would return as the immediate favorite — is a good thing for golf, even if his absence cripples the sport," Jeff Passan writes at Yahoo Sports. "The mystique of Tiger exists because he wins. Infallible is fun. Invincible is exciting. Grand Slam Tiger is tantalizing. The expectation that Woods will always hit the right shot is borne of seeing him do it so many times."
Steve Elling gives kudos to the 33-year-old Clark, who is winless on the PGA Tour in the United States. "Clark, 13 days older than Woods, took apart his opposite number with the kind of consistent, unerring style for which he has long been associated," Elling writes at CBS Sports. "Not considered particularly long off the tee, he kept the pressure on Woods by finding fairways and eliminating mistakes."
The New York Post's Mark Cannizzaro says we shouldn't be surprised by Woods's early exit. "Bottom line is, he was coming off a long layoff from competitive golf and, regardless of Woods' comments about expecting to win this week, this tournament was going to be a litmus test of sorts for him," Cannizzaro writes. "Perhaps the worst thing to come out of it, other than not winning, is the fact that Woods didn't get a lot of golf in — playing just one practice round before playing his 32 holes (16 against [Brendan] Jones Wednesday and 16 against Clark)."
Sports Illustrated's Gary Van Sickle says there's plenty of good golf remaining even with Woods's exit. "Thursday's heroics — Geoff Ogilvy, Luke Donald and Stewart Cink won matches that went extra holes — bode well," Van Sickle writes. "Match play is the most entertaining form of golf to watch. The problem is, all those people who are Tiger fans but not really golf fans (and that includes a sizable portion of the media), aren't going to care. To many folks, if it's not Tiger, it's not interesting. But this isn't the time to bemoan the loss of Woods and write off the tournament. It's a time to celebrate Clark's accomplishment." (The scoreboard is available here).

The Chicago Bulls lost two legends within hours of each other on Thursday. Announcer and former Bull Stormin' Norman Van Lier, 61, was found dead in his home in the morning. Late Thursday, longtime Bulls coach and announcer Johnny Kerr died of prostate cancer at age 76. The Chicago Tribune's Rick Morrissey remembers Van Lier as a combative player. "His edges were hard, his elbows were hard and his life was, at times, hard," Morrissey writes. "He was hard to get around if you had the basketball. He was hard to figure sometimes. And his hardheadedness was legendary. You didn't want to be around Van Lier when there was a loose ball."
Also in the Tribune, Melissa Isaacson remembers Kerr. "Perhaps the best ambassador the Bulls will ever have, Kerr's nickname, 'Red' — for his hair color — couldn't have been more appropriate," Isaacson writes. "In many ways, Kerr was Mr. Bull: the first coach in franchise history, NBA Coach of the Year that 1966-67 season, later the club's business manager and finally its television and radio analyst for 33 years. The media job was one he fulfilled with great passion and his trademark sense of humor, cutting back only recently to the pregame and halftime shows."

In a tough economy, fans might splurge less on sporting events or choose only the best games — say, Red Sox-Yankees in September at Fenway. Or they might complain about ticket prices or the salaries athletes make. In Houston, Texans cornerback Dunta Robinson was given the franchise tag and will earn almost $10 million next season. But the Houston Chronicle's Jerome Solomon says fans' anger often is misplaced. "Excuse me? Robinson is supposed to take less than he can get because you're having a tough time of it? Please," Solomon writes in the Houston Chronicle. "Anybody asking [owner] Bob McNair to do that? He's raising ticket prices in this economy and people are barely bothered by it, yet they can come down hard on Robinson, though he puts far more on the line to make McNair money than McNair does. If you didn't pay the prices, McNair wouldn't raise them. That's called smart business. Robinson wanting to make all he can is called greed."
Manny Ramirez still hasn't signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The team says that on Thursday he rejected owner Frank McCourt's offer of $25 million for one year and a player option of a second year for $20 million; Ramirez's agent, Scott Boras, preferred to call his response "a counterproposal within the framework of the structure we had agreed upon." In the Los Angeles Times, Bill Shaikin wonders if Boras can call the Dodgers' bluff. "In the world envisioned by Boras and more than a few owners, the Dodgers' first offer would have been eclipsed, quickly and substantially, leaving McCourt to put up or shut up. We'll never know," Shaikin writes. "The economy collapsed, and the Dodgers haven't guaranteed Ramirez a single dollar more than they did in November. So now the Dodgers, the team that finished three victories from the World Series last fall, play the World Series of Poker. McCourt walked away from the table on Thursday, betting Boras has no choice but to ask the Dodgers to rejoin the game."
In the Rocky Mountain News, Tracy Ringolsby says the Dodgers don't need Ramirez to be successful this season.
* * *
Ringolsby's column ends on a sad note, as it's being published in the final edition of the Rocky, as it was affectionately known. After publishing for almost 150 years, the Rocky Mountain News is closing because owner Scripps failed to find a buyer for the money-losing newspaper. "There is a sadness that something that has meant so much for so long is disappearing, and that so many good people are affected," Ringolsby writes.
In his own final column in the Rocky, Bernie Lincicome remembers some of his favorite sporting events. "My most vivid memory is the last fight of Muhammad Ali, in Freeport, The Bahamas, a shadow lurching and gasping in the ring, and then finally slumped in his makeshift dressing area, a cinderblock men's room reeking of urine, facing the finish, a weeping young John Travolta at Ali's knee," Lincicome writes. "Martina Navratilova, exiting Centre Court for the final time, stopped to pull up a piece of sod. Jack Nicklaus posing on the footbridge on the 18th hole at St. Andrews, stubbornly dressed in a sweater vest in fashion when he was. Joe Louis, the great Brown Bomber, became a prop to various promoters, and I cannot see old films of him in his prime without recalling the last time I saw him, poking around a post-press conference dining room looking for left over coffee in discarded cups still warm enough to drink."
The Rocky's Dave Krieger remembers the people behind the scenes who put out the sports section, which was named one of the top 10 big-paper sections by the Associated Press Sports Editors on Wednesday.
Woody Paige worked for the News for seven years before jumping to its chief competitor, the Denver Post, in 1981. This is one victory he's not gloating over. "There is no joy today at The Denver Post," Paige writes. "It has been said that you keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. The Rocky was the enemy, but, at the same time, the friend. Competitors and compatriots, making each other better, stronger, more reliable."

Like father, like son? Not always. Although Popeye Jones played 11 seasons in the NBA, his two sons, Justin and Seth, aren't interested in basketball careers. Justin is an 18-year-old forward, and Seth is a 14-year-old defenseman, both with dreams of making it to the NHL. But getting there involves a lot of sacrifices, including leaving home, Jeff Caplan writes in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

The elite of the United Arab Emirates have three sporting passions: falconry, horse racing and camel racing. The Toronto Star's Oakland Ross has the story on how the need for speed has changed camel racing in the desert, including raising leaner animals that can reach 45 kilometers per hour.

Love is in the air and that means Valentine's Day is soon approaching. Millions of men and women will buy their roses, purchase their boxes of chocolates and dole money out for an expensive gift.
Of course, a couple could just sit on the sofa and enjoy a romantic and timeless picture that will have women cry and men reinvigorate the passion they have for their spouse. After a delicious meal upon candlelight and something sweet afterwards, perhaps the two will turn on the television, insert a film and enjoy a romantic movie.
Although some might dismiss Valentine's Day as another commercial holiday to generate sales and increase corporations' bottom line, it is still considered to be lover's day and a time to celebrate love.
With that being said, here are five motion pictures to watch this Valentine's Day:
Brief Encounter (1945) | starring: Trevor Howard, Celia Johnson and Stanley Holloway
Two strangers meet and fall in love on a train. Throughout this time, the leading character considers cheating on her husband as she cannot forget the man she met on the locomotive.
An Affair to Remember (1957) | starring: Cary Grant, Deborah Kerr and Richard Denning
Two engaged strangers meet and fall in love on a boat. When the two arrive back on land, they make a promise to meet on top of the Empire State Building six months later. Will the two meet each other and continue their passionate romance?
Casablanca (1942) | starring: Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorree and Conrad Veidt
Set in Nazi-occupied Africa during the early days of WWII, an American bar owner meets a former lover who turns out to be married to a leader of an underground movement. Will the two rekindle their love?
The Shop Around the Corner (1940) | starring: James Stewart, Margaret Sullavin, Frank Morgan and Felix Bressart
The lead salesman of a retail store is corresponding with an intelligent lady through mail. The two, who have been quarreling for months, don't realize they are actually writing to each other. With Christmas just around the corner, will they spend it with each other?
Forsaking All Others (1934) | starring: Clark Gable, Joan Crawford and Robert Montgomery
A man returns to town after staying in Spain for an extended period of time. He discovers that his two childhood friends have fallen in love and plan to get married. Heartbroken by the news and keeps his love for the lady quiet, he still helps out with the wedding.

Tile Size
Making a decision about which type of tile to select is not easy, because tile has so many options. One of the options has to do with the size of the tile. And yes, you can find tile in just about any size you want.
Large Tile
Large tiles are the current trend in tiling. Tiles in the large category are generally no smaller than 8"x8" but can be as large as 24"x24". Large tiles definitely have some significant advantages. For one, they create more visual interest. When someone looks at a floor with large tile, there is more tile to see and fewer unsightly grout joints. Since your floor is supposed to be tile anyway, you would rather have more of it than more joints. Besides, fewer joints mean less grout maintenance. Large tile is also beneficial for smaller rooms in particular because it gives the room a larger feel.
The difficulty with installing large tile is that there is potentially more cutting that could be difficult for the amateur. Large tile also requires a perfectly even floor in order to lie flat.
Small Tile
Despite its decline in popularity, small tile still holds some appeal. With small tile, there can be more colors, patterns, unique designs, borders and even pictures. Mosaic tiles, as they are called, usually come joined together in sheets of 12"x12". Installing small tiles takes considerably more time, and with the extra grout joints and the busy look that they sometimes portray, a choice of larger tiles is often understandable.

As from this date all Electric Fence companies, either Installing, doing Repairs or Maintenance to electric fences have to be Approved by the Department of Labour. One of the reasons for this is due to none compliant companies installing electric fences not conforming to the stringent safety standards. Electerrific are registered and currently employ Six Certified staff members who are able to issue Electric fence System Certificates of Compliance. We do not charge extra when issuing a C of C to a newly installed electric fence, nor do we charge extra to come to your property to quote on a proposed electric fence.

This guy is bananas. Sounding like a cross between Bill Withers and Terry Callier, Michael Kiwanuka will be opening up for Adele on her U.S. tour. The North London singer-songwriter of Ugandan heritage is a diamond, with vocals that warm your earbuds and subsequently send chills up and down your whole body.
Above is an acoustic video for "I'm Getting Ready," which was released a couple weeks ago and it's beautifully soothing. And below, you must absolutely check out the immaculately produced, richly sung instant classic "Tell Me A Tale" (we hear a little Marvin in there).
The I'm Getting Ready EP will be available September 18th. Yes, please.

Increasingly, decisions of public policy depend on the provision of reliable data based on observations of the real world, captured by sensors measuring the activities of people or of the environment. Frequently, as a part of these policy initiatives people are advised to change their behaviour. Making substantial impact requires convincing people that their actions matter, which necessitates providing them with timely, pertinent, and accurate information so that they can make informed decisions. Consequently, behaviour must be monitored to gather data, algorithms that fuse these data into meaningful conclusions and make recommendations must be deployed, and systems need to disseminate these results to policy makers and the public. Doing this whilst assuaging privacy concerns is crucial for widespread voluntary cooperation. Over the next five years I intend to design systems that meet this goal, using policy to specify and control the flow of personal information, thereby curtailing dangerous exploitation.
The three operations—data collection through monitoring, data processing, and conclusion dissemination—each have implications for privacy. Monitoring to gather data means that detailed models of behaviour can be built. Frequently, the data collected will be from individuals, meaning that one can model what a particular person does; it may be easy or difficult to link models with individuals' identities. Processing by analysis algorithms may entail connecting parties having specialised abilities. Meaningful policies are needed to prescribe flows of personal information and doing this requires knowledge of how those parties will treat data that are potentially private and what can be inferred as a result. Finally, dissemination of the output from processing may allow exploitation of the individuals contributing data by those not involved in the system itself. For example, the pattern of electricity use by a house can be a high quality predictor of how many people are at home. The occupants of the house may be comfortable with the data showing this, as made apparent by the monitoring service's privacy policy, if these inferences are not available so as to plan burglaries or verify occupancy for the purposes of insurance or private investigation.
Addressing privacy within these three contexts requires using design principles that are, at present, poorly understood, coupled with concrete technology to help apply them. I intend to tackle both of these problems. My approach to enhancing the safety of monitoring, applied already within the TIME-EACM research project at Cambridge, starts with removing as much as is possible identity and location information from the data that are collected. The design strategy should be to collect such information only as policy requires, as opposed to protecting it with clumsy, error-prone access control mechanisms that may not prevent data leakage or breaches. Furthermore, conveying data from sensors to where they are processed may in itself reveal identity. I intend to apply techniques allowing anonymous communication to delivery of sensor data, examining issues such as providing data provenance if communication makes device identification impossible. This will mean understanding the new models of trust that lie between ignorance of identity (complete anonymity) and proof of identity with non-repudiation (via, for example, digital signatures). A sensing apparatus that functions correctly, responding as appropriate to authorised commands with data that are delivered only to the intended recipients, is best placed to offer a foundation for these services. Work on privacy thus complements sensor network security.
At Dalhousie University, my work focussed on designing an infrastructure enabling applications that improve the treatment of and quality of life for patients in the advanced stages of cognitive decline. Central to this infrastructure was middleware supporting distributed transactions in a manner that respects patient confidentiality, using formalised contracts to link permitted flows of data to processing actions. This is the sort of tool that is needed for data processing. I have explored similar expressions of policy within the TIME-EACM project with an emphasis on succinctness and on-line compliance checking, ensuring that data identify the privacy properties of the real-world phenomena that they represent. I intend to continue this work, formalising it by building on data flow modelling. This will lead to a mechanism allowing description of algorithms' data requirements, expression of the properties of results, and compositions leading to a description of data processors' behaviour. Together these form assertions of systems' properties with respect to privacy and can be checked for suitability against policy requirements.
Finally, in the area of dissemination of conclusions, access control can play a part. More broadly, applications should be designed with the idea of statistical disclosure control. This involves understanding the ways in which application output can be collated to make inference and the implications of those inferences on the individuals who provide data.
Concrete, specific technologies are needed to underpin these design principles. Some, such as a facility for anonymous communication and differential privacy, are implicit; others are centred on Information Flow Control (IFC) and means of conveying policy specification to software. To provide a coherent anchor for these I intend to fashion system sofware and middleware focussed on privacy-sensitive data collection and processing (robust dissemination appears to be feasible at the application level). Replacing software used by people on desktop computers and mobile phones is not realistic and is not a goal. However, systems supporting sensors and consequent data fusion are more amenable to change. The first step to doing this is to understand the most useful contributions from Decentralised IFC (as explored in projects such as Jif and Fabric), its incorporation into operating systems (Flume and Asbestos), conveyance of application requirements (following on from work on quality-of-service in, for example, Nemesis), and current work on infrastructure for federated sensors (FRESNEL). These results will be combined with my current work on data labelling, the effect of the physical world on policy, and multi-organisation policy interaction. The goal is to produce system software capable of managing distributed data collection through sensors in a way that is secure and respects the privacy intentions of the individuals being monitored. In so doing, assertions may be made about the resulting system's privacy properties, allowing formal policy reasoning to increase the safety and acceptability of systems that affect individuals.
I am uncomfortable advocating research results if I haven't proven their efficacy. Therefore I intend to build functioning research prototypes, in the tradition of systems research, augmented by formal analytic proofs of correctness where appropriate. I intend to aggressively recruit high quality post-graduate students and engage bright undergraduates for projects and research assistantships. The resulting research group will be well-positioned to have substantial impact, ensuring that systems necessary to provide the data that inform public policy and help people make lifestyle choices are embraced by those who might otherwise be worried by them.

Hi Bart, I took a look at the schematic, and believe that the only transmit control signals at the accessory jacks are inputs to the radio, not outputs that can control anything. Internally, the "PTT" and "Send" signals are actually diode isolated pull-down circuits that ultimately go to the radio's computer. I recommend that if you are keying the radio with the mike, that you try putting an interface between the mike and the radio. Something like the MFJ-1272 TNC switchbox would make the connection available easily without modifying the radio. The mike plugs into the 1272 and then it in turn plugs into the radio. Inside, it has not only the switching that would control a TNC, but the connections to the PTT line are available. It would be easy to bring them out for use in a transistor-to-relay controller. You are interested in the push-to-talk line (pin 5) at the microphone jack. I believe I saw the 1272 in the most recent AES catalog for about $25 on closeout. Apparently, a lot of hams are going to soundcard TNC implementations, so they aren't selling many of the TNC interface units. Alternately, if you are keying the radio via the Accessory jack (at pin 3), or the Data1 jack (also at pin 3), you could take the control signal from that point. Note that they are isolated from the microphone jack PTT line and each other by diodes. None of these connections at the radio are meant as outputs, and only accept pull-down (grounding) at their terminals. Well, that's my two-cents, for what it's worth.... I'm in the middle of trying to come up with a sequencer that will take a key-down from my microphone OR from the computer (I like the digital modes) and intervene, preventing the radio from pushing RF up the coax until the antenna relays have had a chance to route it around the preamp. That's how I know that the microphone and data/accessory connections are isolated (made that mistake...). Either one will key the radio immediately, if given the chance; and, the preamp will be toast. Best of luck! Let me know how you work it out. I may end up with the craving for more RF to the antenna, too, when I'm ready to try WSJT. 73' de Dan, KB4L -----Original Message----- From: email@example.com [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com]On Behalf Of Jahnke, Bart, W9JJ Sent: Monday, August 26, 2002 9:09 AM To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: [amsat-bb] Icom 910H - external relay control Gang, anyone out there have a source for a mod (add on) to control an external relay (to control external KW amplifier bypass relays) using the IC 910H?

We've seen a lot of repeated information and a gazillion different angled shots of ASUS' upcoming P6T Deluxe motherboard for the Core i7 (Nehalem) platform over the past couple months, but what we haven't seen before is this "OC Palm Edition", spotted over at DonanimHaber.
The obvious (and probably only) difference with this offering is the inclusion of the USB driven OC Palm device, which resembles a similarity to the appearance of typical hand-held PCs. What this device is said to do is allow on-the-fly overclocking via all the important system parameters that you would usually only have access to in the BIOS. The downside is that it's apparently handled by software rather than being a direct link to the BIOS itself.

Hot answers tagged metal-cutting
After cutting the bolt to length, use a stationary grinder instead of a file to clean up your work. With a grinder, it's easy to square up the end of the bolt and apply the chamfer that you want. Just be careful, especially if the bolt is shorter than the grinder's table. If the bolt is short, use a pair of vice grips to hold the bolt during grinding. And ...
A hack saw is a fine tool to cut fairly thin gauge tubing (which this seems to be). You may want to use a jig of some sort, such as a miterbox, to keep your cut square to the piece. Tape around the diameter to minimize chipping of the finish. File down the cut edge to remove the burrs from sawing, using a metal file, followed by emory paper. If there is a ...
There are several online metal suppliers that will also make custom cuts. Online Metals is one that I have used. There is a minimum length that you must order (usually 1 ft) and a charge per cut. Depending on where you live you might also find a local metal supplier that can do the same for you. Wherever you order, I'd suggest you get two 5" pieces ...
Right snips are the most often used and it is possible to use only them, but if you want a neat and professional finish I would advise getting both right- and left-cutting, considering they are not that expensive for a decent set. If you are a beginner with corrugated it may be worth getting offset snips if you're planning on cutting the length of sheets. ...
You have the basics down pat. The key to getting the threads working properly is: Squaring off the thread end of the bolt. Yes, the hacksaw blade will follow the threads slightly. If you have a bandsaw with a stock holding vise that can be squared to the blade, run a single nut on so the hexes will hold the bolt in place as straight to the blade as ...
A hacksaw would definitely get the job done. If you're looking for a power-tool version, a Reciprocating saw is the (fun) way to go. Probably not a good thing to use a jig saw on as usually they are intended for making more precise cuts, hence are slower.
I used to use a 7 1/4" metal cutting wheel on a circular saw. Works good, but wheel wears down fairly fast. There are also some good shear attachments that mount on drills. I'd advise you to make the cuts on the end going to the top, not the exposed bottom. Definitely have some spray paint or primer to treat the cut end, because it will rust. If you put ...
It will probably be 3 to 6 hours of non-skilled labor (neighborhood kids?) to dig up the concrete and remove the whole assembly. Don't cut the post off: it will help wiggle out the base. Dig a hole immediately to one side of the concrete base of a convenient size. (There is no need to dig all around it.) A post hole digger works great. Make the hole at ...
If you buy the pipe at Home Depot, they custom cut it (and thread it) for free. You have to buy the pipe, and there is a fairly flexible policy that they will make up to three cuts per 10 foot length, but if you catch them an hour before closing or when it is not otherwise busy, they are very accommodating.
If you're trying to cut in place, I'd personally go with drilling an initial hole, and then cutting the shape of the vent with a "sheet metal nibbler". The nibbler will let you cut from one side, as there's a small bit that you insert into the hole, and sheers off a small roll of material (somewhere near 1/8", depending on the exact pair). You can also ...
You have numerous options: Drill out the screws with a drill bit larger than the screw diameter. Use a hand hack saw to cut it into manageable pieces. Use a reciprocating saw - a "Sawzall" to cut it into manageable pieces. Beat it into submission with a sledge hammer until it folds and bends and breaks (get medieval on it!) My recommendation would be the ...
Some times tightening the screw helps un stick it.I don't mean turning it a full quarter tighten but use some force. If you hear it click/budge a bit- Spray WD-40 on it then untighten it, spray WD-40(only a short spray-don't drown it), repeat over and over and the distance will get larger and larger and eventually you will be able to unscrew with ease. By ...
The bases of the stand look as if the pole is welded to it. Unless you have welding skills, cutting at the base probably will not work. The top appears to consist of a thinner pole that the speaker is attached to, inserted into a slightly larger pole that is attached to the base. In addition, there is a locking knob that seems to go through a threaded hole ...
NOt as High Tech as Bib's answer but its still popular and only requires a bit of elbow grease. A hand held hacksaw with a blade designed for steel. TIPS The blades sharp edges need to curve/point towards yourself (called a pull-cut orientation). So it will cut when you pull back. Otherwise you will have a really hard time doing this. Apparently a ...
Wrap the pipe with masking tape,mark the height with a pen so you have a precise line.As @ dbracey has suggested use a pipe cutter. The tape will protect the finish from the quide roller of the cutter. Any type of rotary saw will generate enough heat to mar the finish. Also cutting a straight line with a saw will be difficult.
Examine the where the pole connects to the base, looking to see if you can easily remove the base. If you can, then what you want to do is cut the bottom off the pole and re-attach the base. You will need a hacksaw and a miterbox to get a square cut (OR a large pipecutter (you can rent those at local tool rental) OR a chopsaw with abrasive blade)). You ...
You can use a Dremel cutoff wheel to cut off a piece of the rod but you may have to remove the rod to do this. You can use Dremel grinding wheels to grind down the end of the rod. If the rod is not protruding out of the hole, you could use a wooden plug to seal off the hole. Sand the plug flush with the bench top.
Quoting from the Norton Catalog: .035, .040, .045, .060 Where fast cutting and low kerf loss are desired .090, .125 For tough cutting and notching applications where stability is important I would also expect that longevity plays into the equation for industrial applications (not something a DIY-er needs to care about)
You are doing it the optimal way for somebody that just does it occaisonally. A cut that is more square across the bolt (OK - orthogonal...) can be had by using a motorized chop saw with an abrasive blade, an a grinder will help the clean-up, like Caleb says. If you were to do it this way, you don't need the nut threaded on to clean out the threads. BUT....
The ease of cutting will come down to the following: The pipe schedule (thickness of the pipe wall) The diameter of the pipe The cutting tool to be used Assuming that the pipe schedule is sch 40 or less and the diameter is 2" or less (larger diameters can limit the cutting tool selection and the increases the effort required to obtain a true parallel cut)...
They do make blades designed for non-ferrous metal, and may make a difference over a standard bi-metal/multipurpose blade. These may be special order v. a home depot find. I suggest going almost painfully slow to maximize cutting, over deforming the material/dulling the blade. However, the two best ways I know to cut this material are a power 'nibbler' ...
Any circular saw will cut aluminum, copper, or any other non-ferrous metal easily with a sharp carbide-tipped blade. Keeping the cuts straight, square, millimeter accurate and not damaging thinwall parts will require some guides. My preference would be a radial arm saw, the length is easily handled with a clamp on the fence. If you don't have one, buy or ...
Grinder is best tool for this job....maybe even you can use the one that you have just make sure you have several plates in order to complete the job. If your grinder isn't enough 115mm one is big enough for sure....When you cut it don't just go straight down like you are cutting a butter but once you cut through wall on one side rotate your beam (or column, ...
Sawzall with a hacksaw blade. you may have to do a little drywall patching and some trim.
Use an angle grinder with a diamond blade. If you don't own one it's an inexpensive but very worthwhile investment.
Rather than trying to cut holes and add vents, you could also replace these with vented soffit skirting. E.g. This one can be picked up from your local HI store:
I use four nuts to cut the bolt at the proper length. Two nuts on each side of the cut - one locks the other nut in place so your blade has a secure groove to cut the bolt. I also use flanged nuts on the inside facing each other to provide a better guide for the saw blade.
You could try putting a nut on either side of the cutting blade to square the cut and to stop the blade from drifting along the thread.
You can get a metal cutting abrasive wheel to fit your circular saw. Just be careful, it will cut like butter through the pipes. I would also recommend wearing safety glasses, gloves.

It was a glorious day Saturday for New York's first openly gay congressman. According to a June 22 report by USA Today, Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney married longtime partner Randy Florke in a beautiful ceremony with their three children by their side. Maloney and Florke married at a church in Cold Spring, N.Y. after 22 years together.
The newlyweds thanks family and friends for their support and celebrated their perfect day just as they envisioned. The couple released a statement following the wedding expressing their gratitude. They wrote, "Even after 22 years together, we're overwhelmed by how blessed we feel to celebrate this special day with our friends and family. With our three kids by our side, this couldn't have been a more perfect day. Thank you to all our friends near and far for their love and support as we continue to fight to ensure all families can experience the joys of a lifetime commitment."
Sean Patrick Maloney is a Democrat who was elected to New York's 18th Congressional District in 2012. He is now only the second sitting member of Congress to legally marry his gay partner while still in office. The long-awaited wedding was a also a wish made my their youngest daughter, Essie, who wrote a letter to Santa Claus asking to allow her fathers to get married. She wrote, "Santa can you try making my wonder-ful fathers get married, they are a loving couple."
Soon after the letter was written, the couple publicly announced their engagement, making young Essie's wish come true. The couple's two other children, along with Essie, got to witness their dads say "I Do" and punctuate a family they have built together for 22 years with the seal of marriage.
Rep. Mark Pocan of Wisconsin is the other current member of Congress who is legally married to a same-sex partner. Retired Democratic Rep. Barney Frank was the first member of Congress to marry. Maloney won't get to enjoy his nuptials for long. He is preparing for a primary on Tuesday, as he seeks a second term as a member of Congress. Same-sex marriage became legal in the state of New York in 2011.

Ladies and gentlemen…start your engines. You have probably heard that familiar phrase before. But this time, it has nothing to do with the Indianapolis 500, Daytona, Monaco's Gran Prix or even the 24 hours of Le Mans. Instead, get ready for the Volkswagen Rallycross NY auto race, Jul. 19-20, at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale. The two-day event, featuring the Red Bull Global Rallycross series, or GRC, is scheduled to take place rain or shine.
Rallycross NY, which will be televised live, is not your typical auto race. Enthusiasts will still find the brightly painted car-bodies, bold advertising decals and dust, kicked up by rapidly spinning tires as they dig into the road. No need for gear heads to worry either because under the hood of most GRC SuperCars are nearly 600 horses. But instead of just the latest GM, Ford, or MOPAR based machines, fans can applaud other names that they recognize, including Subaru and Volkswagen.
The SuperCar course
The GRC track is also unique. Road surfaces can range from asphalt or concrete to dirt and mud. The course can be located in an arena, outdoors on a ball field or partially off-road. What's more, it is not unusual to see cars flying through the air as drivers conquer small hills and other obstacles. Where stock-cars, open wheel Indy competitors and top-fuel eliminators can be temperamental, Rallycross racers are built to take punishment. But that is only some of what makes Volkswagen's Rallycross NY potentially so exciting.
What can Coliseum goers expect?
The GRC is about more than just the cars. The website for the event, rbgrcny.com, describes it more like an experience. Drivers frequently chat with the crowd, while spectators are encouraged to mingle with the different racing teams. According to rbgrc.com there will be "live music" and "entertainment." Food and beverages will be available at different locations.
It sounds like the GRC is going to be one big party. But like everything else, there are things attendees can and cannot do. Sunscreen, cameras and video recorders are on the yes list. On the other hand, bringing in alcoholic beverages, bicycles, skateboards and lawn chairs is prohibited. Gates open at 8 a.m. For further information and ticket details check with the event website.

Donaire dominates Mathebula
Ringside by Francisco Salazar and Rocco Morales
Photos by "Big" Joe Miranda
Super bantamweight Nonito Donaire admitted during the buildup to his unification fight against Jeffrey Mathebula that he was looking to knock out the lanky South African fighter.
Although Donaire dominated the fight against Mathebula on Saturday night, he may have gotten caught up in the moment to end the fight spectacularly in front of a pro-Donaire crowd at the Home Depot Center.
Looking to end the fight with one punch against a fighter who was looking to survive halfway through the fight may or may not convince those people he could defeat the likes of Guillermo Rigondeaux, Toshiaki Nishioka, or Abner Mares.
However, with the victory over Mathebula, Donaire is halfway through another goal: unifying all the world title belts in the super bantamweight division.
Donaire dropped Mathebula once, but settled for a 12 round unanimous decision victory before a crowd of about 3,700 at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA. With the victory, Donaire defended his WBO title and won Mathebula's IBF title.
The bout headlined a nine-bout card, presented by Top Rank.
Aside from being mentioned amongst the top five of most pound-for-pound rankings, Donaire is also considered one of the top fighters at 122 pounds. He proved so with a 12 round unanimous decision over Wilfredo Vazquez, Jr. in his first significant fight at 122 pounds in February.
Mathebula was an unknown fighter to casual boxing fans, having only fought once outside of his native South Africa prior to Saturday's fight in Carson. He was attempting to defend his title he won in his last fight, a 12 round split decision over Takalani Ndlovu in March.
Donaire controlled the action in the first three rounds as he pressed the action throwing wild hooks or crosses to the head of Mathebula. Few punches connected, but Donaire won those rounds more on sheer aggression.
Donaire backed up what he said during the pre-fight buildup in the fourth round as he attempted to end the fight with one punch. He almost did by dropping Mathebula with a left hook to the head near the end of the fourth round. It was a left hook to the head by Donaire that fighters whom he fought in smaller weight classes probably would not have gotten up from. After Mathebula stood up before the count of eight, the bell sounded to end the round.
It took Mathebula a while to get going, but he finally was able to let his hands go in the fifth and sixth rounds. At times, Mathebula threw combinations to the head, snapping Donaire's head back with a right hand. However, Donaire came back in the seventh round, ducking Mathebula's punches and countering with his own.
Mathebula did little in the next couple of rounds. However, Donaire was not as active as in the previous rounds. Due to the non-activity, the crowd began booing the action, showing its displeasure of the lack of action in the ring.
However, Donaire aggressively pressed the action in the 11th round. He threw more punches and tried to connect with those hard hooks or crosses as he had Mathebula against the ropes or in a corner. Mathebula was in survival mode in the final round as Donaire continued to stalk him around the ring. Mathebula would throw a few combinations at Donaire, almost to keep him away from him until the final bell sounded.
All three judges scored the bout in favor of Donaire, 117-110, 118-109, and 119-108. Fightnews.com scored the bout 118-109 in favor of Donaire.
"I wanted to work the body, but it didn't work because he would run away," said Donaire, who had some swelling and marks on his face after the fight. "He was a tall and awkward guy to fight. Nothing worked."
Asked about plans after the fight, Donaire responded that he wanted to unify all the belts. Promoter Bob Arum said that he would plan to line up Nishioka or Jorge "Travieso" Arce after the Mathebula fight.
Mathebula said after the fight that he got hit hard in the 11th round that he felt a back molar in his mouth loosen.
Donaire, from General Santos City, Philippines and now residing in the Bay Area of California, improves to 29-1, 18 KOs. Mathebula, from Brakpan, South Africa, falls to 26-4-2, 14 KOs. - F.S.
Pavlik defeats Rosinsky
In the scheduled 10-round super middleweight semi-main event, former middleweight king, Kelly "The Ghost" Pavlik (40-2, 34KO) scored a unanimous decision victory by scores of 97-92 and 98-91 (twice) over journeyman Will "Power" Rosinsky. Rosinsky's nickname did not apply to his punching prowess and he was unable to strike an ounce of fear into Pavlik who floored Rosinsky with a short right cross counter in the second round.
The best Rosinsky would be able to do against Pavlik was to cut Pavlik over the left eye with a punch in the fouth round but, by and large, it was an anticlimatic fight, with Rosinsky trying to stay out of harm's way, and with Pavlik winning round after round but failing to put away his overmatched opponent. Unfortunately, Rosinsky didn't put up half the fight that his screaming fiancee put up for the majority of the fight from the fifth row. With her Brooklyn accent, it was like "My Cousin Vinny" goes to Hollywood.
With the victory, Pavlik picks up his third victory of 2012 and remains in title contention, although the big name fighters he would like to fight such as Andre Ward and Carl Froch remain unlikely due to scheduling conflicts and the deep cut suffered by Pavlik that may keep him out of action until near the end of the calendar year.
In post fight comments, Pavlik said about his knockdown of Rosinsky, "I got him with a short right hand and it was deep, flush and felt good.
"I always felt I was ahead in the fight and now I'd like to get ready for a big fight in the fall but in the 4th round I got cut by a punch and it is a deep cut."
With the victory, the 30 year Pavlik remains in title contention and keeps his top 10 ranking in the WBC/IBF/WBA/WBO intact. Meanwhile, Rosinsky will likely return to stepping stone status for up and coming fighters wanting to add a name to their record. - R.M.
Ruiz still undefeated
Heavyweight Andy Ruiz, Jr. stopped Jonte Willis in the eighth and final round. Ruiz was busier and displayed accuracy in landing repeatedly to the head. His punches began to close the right eye of Willis by the the third round. Ruiz scored a knockdown in the sixth round with a barrage of punches, although Willis claimed he was off-balanced. In the final round, Ruiz stunned Willis with a barrage of punches, prompting referee Wayne Hedgepeth to step in and stop the bout at 54 seconds. Ruiz, from Imperial Valley, CA, improves to 15-0, 9 KOs. Willis, from Tacoma, WA, falls to 8-4-1, 3 KOs.
Flores survives Kreal
In the last non-televised bout of the undercard, super lightweight Anthony Flores won a hard-fought four round unanimous decision over Cameron Kreal.
Flores dropped Kreal with a left hook to the body in the first round. It looked as though Flores would dominate, but Kreal came on in the second half of the fight, at times outlanding the aggressive Flores. All three judges scored the bout in favor of Flores, 38-37, 38-37, and 39-36. Fightnews.com scored the bout 38-37 in favor of Flores.
Flores, who hails from nearby Inglewood, goes to 2-0, 1 KO. Kreal, from Las Vegas, NV, drops to 2-2-2. - F.S.
Solomon returns with victory
Welterweight Brad Solomon won an eight round unanimous decision over Hector Munoz.
Solomon, who was at one time ranked number one by the WBA, was fighting for the first time in almost 16 months. He dropped Munoz with a straight right hand to the head in the second round. Munoz pressed the action, wanting to fight on the inside. However, Solomon countered effectively to the head, specifically with right hands to the head.
At times, Munoz spent more time talking smack to Solomon after Solomon landed a significant amount of punches. Later in the fight, Munoz was deducted a point from referee Jose Cobian for a low blow. All three judges scored the bout in favor of Solomon, 78-72, 79-71, and 77-73. Fightnews.com scored the bout 78-72 in favor of Solomon.
Solomon, from Douglasville, GA and now fighting out of Lafayette, LA, improves to 18-0, 7 KOs. Munoz, who trains out of Oxnard, CA and resides in Albuquerque, NM, falls to 20-8-1, 13 KOs. - F.S.
Gibson decisions Rodriguez
In a bout featuring unbeaten super lightweights, KeAndre Gibson won a hard-fought six round unanimous decision over Moris Rodriguez.
Gibson landed the more-telling blows in the first half of the fight, countering Rodriguez with hard right crosses or left hooks to the head. Gibson slowed down considerably in the final two rounds, which allowed for Rodriguez to control the action and outpunch Gibson. All three judges, including Fightnews.com, scored the bout 58-56 in favor of Gibson.
Gibson, from St. Louis, MO, goes to 7-0-1, 3 KOs, while Rodriguez, from Chico, CA, drops to 3-1-1, 2 KOs. - F.S.
Roman destroys Armenta
Jose "El Gato" Roman (14-0, 11KO's) stole the show with a violent and crushing fifth round knockout over Rodolfo Armenta (11-8-1, 9KO). In a lightweight bout scheduled for eight rounds, Roman started the fight off quickly with a first round knockdown, landing a solid double left hook to the head and body of Armenta. Armenta would survive the round, however, and would fight valiantly on. He was having his best round of the fight in the fifth round until Roman absolutely crushed him with a counter left hook that laid him out flat in the middle of the ring.
Armenta, a 24 year old 6' lightweight fighting out of Garden Grove, CA, appears like a force to be reckoned with in the lightweight division. - R.M.
Flores decisions Nichol
In a scheduled four-round lightweight bout that resembled a tough man contest, the super aggressive Eric Flores (4-1-1, 1KO), from nearby Inglewood, CA, threw everything but the kitchen sink over the shell shocked and previously undefeated Raymond Nichol (3-1-1, 2KO). By sheer aggression, Flores never let Nichol into the fight and seemed to hurt Nichol on a few occasions but had to settle for a very apparent unanimous decision victory. There were no knockdowns but the scores for the bout were 40-35 and 40-36 (twice). - R.M.
Pasillas stops Adame
In the opening bout of the Top Rank card, featherweight Victor Pasillas stopped Jesus Adame in the third round of a scheduled four round bout.
Adame was dropped by a Pasillas right hand to the head in the second round. Adame fought back in the third, but was stunned by a Pasillas combination. Pasillas followed up with a series of punches until referee Jose Cobian stepped in and stopped the bout at 2:45.
Pasillas, from Los Angeles, CA, goes to 2-0, 1 KO, while Adame, from Guasave, Sinaloa, Mexico, falls to 2-10. - F.S.
Ringside Notes
- After the fight, Nishioka offered a challenge to Donaire in the ring. WBC super bantamweight title holder Abner Mares was at ringside.
- Ring announcer was Lupe Contreras.

The newly resurgent Mattachine Society of Washington, D.C., will present a "mock trial" pursuit of criminal conspiracy and blackmail charges against deceased U.S. Sens. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis.), Styles Bridges (R-N.H.) and Herman Welker (R-Idaho) for their alleged roles in the 1954 suicide of U.S. Sen. Lester Hunt (D-Wyo.), who committed suicide after his son was arrested for homosexual "solicitation" in D.C.'s Lafayette Park.
The mock-trial presentation is based on a new biography of Hunt, Dying for the Sins of Joe McCarthy – The Suicide of Wyoming Senator Lester Hunt, written by Rodger McDaniel and released in March.
"What these men did to Lester Hunt was not just sharp-elbowed politics," Charles Francis, president of Washington's Mattachine Society, said in a statement on the group's website announcing the trial. "This is the true story of a long covered-up criminal conspiracy to blackmail a sitting U.S. Senator and take over the leadership of the United States Senate. It is time for this conspiracy to go before a jury – even in a mock trial – in Washington, D.C."
Several prominent political, judicial and community leaders will portray principals in the mock trial. Retired Wyoming Supreme Court Justice Michael Golden will play the role of presiding judge. Former U.S. Sen. Alan Simpson (R-Wyo.) will address the court. Trevor Potter, the Washington attorney behind the Colbert Super PAC, will play the part of the prosecuting attorney, and attorney Mindy Daniels will play to role of the defense attorney. Reporter Jamie Kirchick will play "Washington Merry-Go-Round" columnist Drew Pearson. Robert Raben, longtime counsel to U.S. Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), will be the jury foreman. Verizon government affairs executive Ed Senn will play Sen. McCarthy. Richard Rosendall, president of the Gay and Lesbian Activists Alliance of Washington, D.C., and Mattachine's secretary, will play police inspector Roy Blick of the vice squad.
The mock trial of Sens. McCarthy, Bridges and Welker will be held Wednesday, Oct. 23, at 7:30 p.m., at All Souls Unitarian Church, 1500 Harvard St. NW.

The Home Run Derby is a signature All-Star event that doesn't need revamping. Nevertheless, the 2014 Home Run Derby took on a new format on July 14, as four National League and five American League sluggers faced each other in one-on-one duels before the winners clashed in the final. But although the process changed, the winner was still the same as Yoenis Cespedes cruised to a second straight title.
The other new, much less welcome element of this Home Run Derby was rain, as conditions in Minnesota delayed the start of the show for an hour. When the proceedings started, AL captain Jose Bautista proved to be the least affected, slugging a first round high 10 home runs. For his efforts, Bautista got a bye into the semifinals and didn't hit again for almost two hours.
The new Home Run Derby rules put the top three batters from each league into the second round, with the second and third place contestants in each league facing off in a swing off. Cespedes had to win a bat off against Oakland Athletics teammates Josh Donaldson to take third place in the AL, but then truly got going with 10 homers to beat Adam Jones in the second round.
Over in the NL, Giancarlo Stanton won the bye with six blasts, with NL captain Troy Tulowitzki finishing second and Cincinnati's Todd Frazier winning a tiebreaker over former Minnesota Twin Justin Morneau for third. As for Yasiel Puig, he went completely homerless in his derby debut.
Both Cespedes and Frazier advanced out of the first round by the skin of their teeth, but were battle tested enough to beat the rusty Bautista and Stanton in the semifinals. Yet only Cespedes came to life in the final, slugging nine more dingers to Frazier's one.
This was a Home Run Derby with a bracket system no one really asked for, with rain delays and with some batters being sidelined longer than they should have been. But no matter how the derby is held, Cespedes seems to know how to best take advantage. What's more, unlike last season, Cespedes will get to hang around for an extra day and play in the All-Star Game as well.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Florida's online prescription database is ground zero for security issues. "We wanted to make sure that we feel like its secure. Security is priority number one for the Department of Health on health information
Earlier this summer the Department of Health was forced to review security after 33-hundred Floridians medical information wrongfully made it into the hands of 5 attorneys in Volusia County. D-O-H says even after the breach -- the department's number one mission is keeping people's information private.
"The biggest changes on who we accept as having access being able to deny access as well as being able to say this person is too much."
This week – the department held a public hearing on the security issues. Opponents worry the changes the department is proposing, including restricting law enforcement access, won't do anything to protect patient privacy.
"We really hope the DOH is willing to go back to the table to consider recommendations that the ACLU put forth and come back with something that sort of makes sense."
"Critics fear DOH will make security changes without adding the feedback from the public hearing – forcing the skeptics to rely on lawmakers next spring at the capitol."
"At some point we will be reviewing the next iteration of the proposed rules."
The agency says it will publish its proposal in September and take public comments before adopting any changes.

Does the 2014 NFL Draft for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have you feeling offensive offensively? Or delighted with visions of free agents on the defensive side filling the salary cap during training camp?
The new General Manager, Jason Licht and Head Coach, Lovie Smith headed to the Draft with an unusual approach that set history for the Buccaneers franchise.
For the first time in their history, the Bucs drafted no defensive players.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have rounded out their 2014 NFL draft class focusing exclusively on offensive prospects. In order:
- Evans - Wide Receiver
- Jenkins - Tight End
- Sims - Running Back
- Edwards - Offensive Guard
- Pamphile - Offensive Tackle
- Heron - Wide Receiver
Only one player is under 6'4"
- and that is Heron; whom will more than likely be involved with Special Teams instead of the Wide Receiver official stamp.
Evans was Johnny Manziel's partner in crime at Texas A&M - and while this Examiner attending the Draft party Thursday at Raymond James Stadium, the crowd loved the choice.
"He's what we need," Ryan Miller, 28, of Bradenton said, when asked of the choice, "Why should we blow our load on a Quarterback? I suspect the Buccannners will choose those who can play regardless; not having another "Tim Tebow" on our hands." Miller was refeering to Johnny "Football" Manziel.
The Buccaneers did exactly what Ryan predicted: Every player has tread.
The Buccaneers needed depth along the offensive line, and they've got it after adding Kadeem Edwards and Pamphile. Pamphile and Jamon Meredith can back up the tackle positions, while Edwards and Meredith can play at the guard spots.
Again, since we don't really know what Jeff Tedford's offense will ask of linemen, it's tough to know if Pamphile is a perfect fit, but he is a mold-able prospect who can be taught any kind of scheme considering his limited background at the position.
Mike Evans, our first round draft pick; 6'5", 230 lbs wide receiver joins Vincent Jackson to give the Tampa Bay 'Dunkaneers' the biggest receiving corps in the NFL by quite some distance, and their size and ability will help make contested catches catchable and should help Josh McCown and Mike Glennon succeed this year.
Tampa Bay officially has the largest and biggest receivers in the league.
Plus, Jenkins, our 2nd round draft choice is considered by many to be a "Red Zone" Tight End. Basically, if we're 10 yards from the goal line give him the ball; and he'll score.
Sims, our 3rd round pick, should primarily be a receiving back for the Bucs, while adding some depth and insurance behind Doug Martin as well. He has the ability to line up at slot receiver and win against man coverage, and the Bucs could use him as a movable, match-up player across their formation.
Every player has proven to be a great blocker as well.
Onto training camp, were we will finish out the salary cap with free agents and one year contracts on the defense side. Lovie must like what he sees on the defenive side of the Buccanners. Lovie is an old school "Defense Wins Championships" type of coach. The Bucs always pride ourselves on our defense. Do you trust Lovie with these decisions?
Yet one giant question remains -
Will our starting Quarter Back Be Josh McCown or Mike Glennon?
Share your thoughts on the 2014 draft in the comments below.
