John Francis Marsh - I am an Alumni of the Class of 1955 and the Art Center School, LA CA, Class of 1959.

Norman L. Moquin - I've had the 50th anniversary on my mind lately, but I'm in the process of moving to Cheshire,Ct from New Haven, Ct, and as I was going through what I have accumulated in the 25 years at this address I came across my yearbook and diploma last week, and if that wasn't enough my class ring came out of hiding yesterday. If I had been waiting for a sign to drop a line to HC Wilcox Tech, well I would say that that'll do it! Last week I drove down Oregon Rd. and was amazed at how you've grown and are growing Since we moved to the "New Building" from the old school near downtown Meriden back in the early sixties. State Trade schools have come a long way since we were the first class to take part in something "The Exploratory Program" where you got to try all the different programs. We were also the last all male graduating class. It doesn't seem all that long ago, but like they say, "Time flies when you are having fun"! I'm 68 now and retired after 50 months in the Navy right after graduating, where I got to work on aircraft. After a few minor jobs I worked in experimental dept, at Pratt and Whitney, from there I went to work at Sikorsky hand forming parts for the Black Hawk helicopter prototype. I then spent the last 32 years until my retirement driving big road trucks for a New Haven forklift dealer, which was to my liking as the scenery was constantly changing outside my "office window". Well, enough chit chat for now the move to Cheshire must go on ! Sincerely, a grateful Grad
Norman L. Moquin

I think we should all chip in and send someone on this board to China to see if this is a real company.
Remember that this company had a ipo on the nasdaq so i think its a little harder to get listed then it is to create a shell company, plus this company would be making the numbers look alot better if they werent a real company. Earrnings werent all that aweful until last quarter, that one was pretty #$%$ cause it droped there whole year profits down to .04 cents. Mostly this was a result of extra head count and a major increase in operating cost. What have really been watching over the last couple of years is the debt and captial ratio. cause it seems to me there really out of money for any large projects. There gonna have to really focus on larger number of small contracts which i think would be good because greater margin on smaller projects but most likely lower revenue. I would be really surpised if you see a stock offering at these levels and i doubt they would try to raise any more cash from selling bonds so it will be real interesting to see how they use there cash from here on out. What i really want to see is a stready stream of small projects fill up the backlog or some kind of majore partnership with larger more capitilized firm. based on asets and future earnings this company has strong potential. so buy before everybody else does
I also think they are in a financial crunch. Not many more project announcements lately. I think they looked at the US stock market as obtaining cheap financing. Now reality has caught up with them.
I lost faith with them when I heard they bid these three turn key waste water jobs in India. This is not hi tech but low tech work with low margin and incredible execution risks. They will loose millions on these jobs. Though I have 2 500 shares still left I am not very hopeful on their future unless they partner up with a foreign firm.

Little Rock, AR. (Aug. 3, 2010) - A veteran emergency nursing director with experience setting up trauma programs in the U.S. and the country of Qatar is joining Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH) as it works to become a Level 1 trauma care center.
John Recicar, MBA, MHA, RN, began his position as trauma nursing director at ACH in July. He will lead the team developing plans for the hospital to achieve Level 1 designation in Arkansas' new trauma care system. Recicar has extensive experience in trauma and critical care nursing. He served as trauma program manager at University Medical Center in Las Vegas and trauma nurse coordinator in Doha, Qatar through the University of Pittsburgh.

"He will help us increase the number of children who survive and go on to lead happy, healthy lives after recovering from traumatic injuries."
Recicar is actively involved in the Society of Trauma Nurses as the international director at large, and is a reviewer for the Journal of Trauma Nurses. He holds a master of health administration and master of business administration in health care administration from the University of Phoenix. Recicar received his bachelor of science in nursing from the University of Pittsburgh.

Paddington Bear themed 1st Birthday (20 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
With the upcoming classic 'Paddington Bear' movie due to be released in 2014, what better way to celebrate then to style a Paddington Bear themed 1st Birthday!!
Eat Sweet Treats inspiration for the theme came from the ' Paddington Bear' teddy in the birthday boy's bedroom. The dessert table was a combination of modern touches with the chevron pattern and vintage feel with the suitcases. The 2 tier suitcase cake was white chocolate/raspberry to match the suitcase invitation, mini cupcakes were vanilla with a blue freckles topper and the macarons were raspberry which sat in the London eye Ferris wheel. The gumboot cookies looked gorgeous standing up on sticks and so did the chocolate mud Paddington cake pops. Personalised chocolate bars were honeycomb and sat on top on the London bus! Paddington Bear's favourite treat "Marmalade" jelly was made in jars and attached with a spoon for the children to enjoy.
The Yorkshire drink dispenser was filled with blue lemonade. Favor boxes sat on top of the vintage stack of the suitcases beside the dessert table and there were also chevron lolly bags for everyone to enjoy the Candy buffet. The venue was at Hijinx Play Centre in Point Cook Melbourne - the kids had a ball!
The children's table was decorated to match with paper plates, cups, napkins, straws & party hats. Noddle boxes filled with candy and tied to a balloon which made them look like Hot Air balloon centrepieces, these were placed on top on gingham fabric to finish the table.

So, how does vagus nerve stimulus work?
Dr. Vanneste: Well, based on animal research, when you stimulate the vagal nerve you can actually induce changes in the brain and we know in tinnitus patients that there is a hyperactivity and hypersynchrony in a specific brain area, which is called the primary auditory cortex. Basically what you do is tell the brain all the sounds that you're hearing are important, but because you do not present the tinnitus tone you tell the brain all the sounds are important except the tinnitus tone. That's the basic idea behind it.
But how do you do that with simple electricity?
Dr. Vanneste: Well, what we know is when you stimulate the vagal nerve, you actually activate some neurotransmitters that are really important. And because you do vagal nerve stimulation, paired with sound therapy, you really can have an effect where you want it to be. So in this case, it is in the primary auditory cortex. Maybe, there are also other regions that might be involved and that we change, but that's something that we still have to do research on.
Can you explain exactly how you do it, where you implant it, and how it works?
Dr. Vanneste: The surgeon is making an incision around the neck close to the throat and there is the vagal nerve and it's an electrode that surrounds what you can actually see it over here, that surrounds the vagal nerve. The lead connects to what we call an IPG, an implantable pulse generator, it's basically a battery. And, we can communicate with that specific device via computer. So, each time that we present a tone, we can also send a trigger to the IPG that the vagal nerve needs to be stimulated, so that's basically how we do it.
Do you leave the stimulator in and for how long?
Dr. Vanneste: For the clinical trial, we will leave the IPG in there for at least 12 weeks and after 12 weeks, the patient can decide.
How many times during the day would a patient get a treatment?
Dr. Vanneste: So, the treatment is 2-1/2 hours a day for 5 days a week and they receive about 300 stimuli each session. They can also decide when to do it; they can do it in the morning, afternoon, night, it doesn't matter.
Do you have to be in the clinic to get?
Dr. Vanneste: No, so when we did the first trial in Belgium, they had to come to the clinic because we didn't have the internal pulse generator yet. So it was a big device. But now, a company made specific IPG that is implantable. So the patient can do the treatment at home.
Does it hook to their computer or what?
Dr. Vanneste: Well, it's wireless so and they just have to turn on the device to see if it connects with computer and just run the program.
So in Belgium, what have your studies shown there?
Dr. Vanneste: So in Belgium, we had promising results. It was just a pilot study. We implanted it in 10 patients and 5 patients had a response. Five patients didn't have a response, but interesting thing was that those patients took certain medication that probably blocked the effect, but because it was a pilot study, our idea was we were going to include all types of tinnitus patients just to get more knowledge.
Of the five that it helped, was it a 10% help? Was it a 90% help?
Dr. Vanneste: No, four of them had a very good response, they had a 44% suppression rate which is really a very good response compared to other treatments that we already tried. That's just for the mood component. So, in tinnitus, you have two components, you have just the sound as it is, but also some people are really stressed by their tones, so for the mood component, we had a 44% suppression rate and then for the loudness, well, we noticed that it was 26 DB, decibels improvement.
So, what you're doing here could really give some people a chance at a normal life, correct?
Dr. Vanneste: That is our hope. So I have to say a lot of patients with tinnitus can live with it. They say, "I hear the tinnitus, but it's doable." But some patients are really desperate because of their tinnitus. It really affects their daily life, so for those patients this could be really helpful, absolutely.

Google announced Monday (Jan.13) its plans to buy smart home thermostat designer and manufacturer, Nest Labs. The acquisition of the fast growing company founded in 2010 will cost Google a cool $3.2 billion dollars.
As the Associate Press reports, Google is positioning itself to learn more about the future of home technology. "Google bought Nest in order to learn about this world where even more information is going to be accessible by computers," Forrester Research analyst Frank Gillett said.
Nest Labs introduced the Nest Learning Thermostat in 2011, followed by the Nest Protect smoke and carbon monoxide alarm in 2013. Both intelligent products interact with each other, can be controlled with smartphone devices and have earned rave reviews.
Google's decision to purchase Nest Labs didn't just happen overnight. According to co-founder and CEO Tony Fadell, Google has been supportive of the company's vision for the past three years. "I know that joining Google will be an easy transition because we're partnering with a company that gets what we do and who we are at Nest –and wants us to stay that way," Fadell said in a company blog post.
Regulatory approvals in the U.S. to finalize the acquisition deal of Nest is expected to take place over the course of a few months. "Nest will continue to operate under the leadership of Tony Fadell and with its own distinct brand identity," Google said Monday.

Silent night, violent night
Nothing's calm, only hate
Tears for yourself
All my feelings dissapear and die
Sleep in heavenly peace
I will tear them out from you,
All the feelings I have lost
By this act we have become one
Open up your eyes bitch
By this act we have become one
Now the time has arrived
I feel we must separate
For all we used to be, this is the end
And if we ever meet again
I can give it back to you
Silent night, violent night
Nothing's calm, only hate
Tears for yourself return to the ground

|If My Ex-Spouse Denies Me My Visitation Rights, Can I Stop Paying Child Support?
Last updated: October 2007
Note:The Illinois Marriage and Dissolution Act and Paternity Act changed on January 1, 2016. The most up-to-date information can be found in the following articles: Parentage (formerly Paternity), Divorce, Allocation of Parental Responsibilities (formerly Custody), Parenting Time (formerly Visitation), and Child Support.
The following question was submitted to John Roska, an attorney/writer whose weekly newspaper column, "Q&A: The Law," runs in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (Illinois Edition) and the Champaign News Gazette.
I'm required to pay child support to my ex-wife, for our two children. The problem is I haven't had any visitation in months. I keep asking for the visitation set out in our divorce order, but my ex says the kids are busy with school activities. Can I stop paying support if I don't get any visitation?
No. The law is very clear. Parents must support their kids, period. There are other ways of dealing with the visitation problem besides stopping the child support.
The Illinois Marriage & Dissolution of Marriage Act says that if a parent does not get custody of a child, that parent is entitled to reasonable visitation rights.
The Act doesn't state as clearly that parents without custody of the children must pay child support, but that's clearly implied in the scheme of things. For example, the Act refers to a parent having a duty to support the children and generally refers to the parent without custody of the children as the one who should be pursued for support.
So, parents who do not have custody of the children are entitled to visitation, and have to pay child support. The Act makes it clear that those are two completely separate things, and that one can't be exchanged for the other.
Instead of not paying child support, the Act allows the parent who was denied visitation to ask the court to grant an appropriate order.
Illinois courts have been very clear that support and visitation are separate things.
Just as the parent without custody of the children can't stop support if they're not getting visitation, the parent with custody of the children can not stop visitation if they're not getting support.
And it doesn't matter if the parents agree to a compromise. Several cases say that agreements that condition support on visitation, or vice versa, are unenforceable. Kids are entitled to support, regardless of what their parents may say or agree to.
The "appropriate order" you could move for would be to enforce the visitation order, by having your ex-wife held in contempt of court. Or, possibly, custody could be transferred to you. You must, however, keep the visitation problem separate from your child support obligation.

Concise Course in Electromagnetism for E
With the increasing pressure on the core syllabus from subjects relating to new technologies it is important that students receive exposure to the fundamental areas of electrical engineering science. In this respect electromagnetism is pre-eminent and this book has been written to provide technologists with an introduction to the diversity and utility of this important subject. Vector calculus is introduced at an early stage and used throughout. The emphasis, however is not mathematical, but is based upon an understanding of physical principle. The book aims to gather together a breadth of treatment in a concise form that is more appropriate to electrical engineers who may not specialize in this area.

By Nancy Dalva
Copyright 2003 Nancy Dalva
NEW YORK -- In the pleasant
auditorium of the John Jay College Theater (on 10th Avenue between
58th and 59th Streets in Manhattan), Lincoln Center has started
presenting excellent music concerts with a dance component. (A previous
entry, Trisha Brown's choreography to Shubert's "Winterreise," with the fantastic British baritone Simon
Keenlyside, was so popular it will return to Lincoln Center this
summer.) This time around, as part of the New Visions: Bach Variations
series, Ballet Freiburg Pretty Ugly teamed up with members of the
Freiburg Baroque Orchestra to present "The Art of the Fugue," seen
We already know from
Mark Morris that not only can baroque music and post-modernism co-exist,
they can sublimely mate -- but perhaps it takes a choreographer
with a baroque turn of mind to pull it off. Amanda Miller, the American
founder of Pretty Ugly (she previously worked under William Forsythe
at Ballett Frankfurt) has a vaporous musicality, and appears to
little care for structure, or musical hermeneutics. (If she does,
she doesn't show it.)
Miller is fond of twist
and torque, of distortion, and curious misalignments. But her kinesthetic
perversities -- which she sets up in the first half of her program
as a kind of parallel universe to the music-- are no match for the
clear-minded intricacies of the Bach. Only when she bows to the
music, late in the second half, does she overcome the cognitive
dissonance -- and cognitive distance -- she establishes at the outset.
(For anyone thinking that this is like the separation of music and
dance achieved by the Merce Cunningham Dance Company under the artistic
direction of Cunningham and the musical direction of John Cage,
whose music Miller has used before, it is not. There, the dance
is made in silence, and rehearsed in silence, and has an independent
life from the music. Miller's work, in contrast, was made with the
music in mind and exists to be seen as it is heard. )
During the first half
of "The Art of the Fugue," all of the dancers -- there are eight
in the company -- are posturally warped, with a curious carriage.
Their ribs are thrust forward over their toes; their backs are arched
down low, so they are disconcertingly callipygian; their shoulders
are unaligned, with one higher than another. A twisted, hunched
upper arm or a looming bottom are often the initiators of Miller's
phrasing, which comes out of nowhere, and recedes there. (Just in
case we weren't aware that this isn't your usual ballet, the dancers,
with two exceptions, wear socks, as if in rehearsal. Their chic,
dark blue and grey-toned costumes mix shorts or skirts with t-shirts
or more conventional leotard-looking tops devised by the choreographer
and Lisa Brzonkalla.)
In program notes, Miller
says she uses neither counting nor cuing on the notes in this choreography.
"I prefer music which is based more on the resonance of a note than
on the exact note itself," she explains. This vague approach leads
the dancers into trouble when they cannot easily cue off one another,
and by default makes solos and duets her strong suit. (In ensemble,
you could see worried visual checking, blurred attacks, not- quite-
unisons, and the like.) To complicate matters, Miller uses a dual
front, with some in the audience -- and their winter coats and shopping
bags and whatnot -- sitting on a bench at the back of the stage.
The dancers sit on a bench at the left, and the musicians to the
right. The curtains are all stripped away, and some grey walls form
a back and side-drop. This arrangement, quite handsome, is designed
and lit by Seth Tillett, who doubles as the dance company's dramaturg.
On the floor, a grey
pentagonal covering echoes the five-ness of the musical ensemble,
which includes two violinists, a violist, a cellist, and a harpsichordist.
The latter, Michael Behringer, emerges as the spiritual eminence
of the piece, watching the dancers with a keen attention when not
stooped over his keyboard in a gentle, inverted question mark.
Playing period instruments,
the Freiburg establish a warm choral resonance as soon as their
stringed voices join together. Only well into the second half of
the work does Miller answer in kind, introducing a clear canon.
As the dance bends to the music, the dancers revert to a pleasant,
more natural, and more subtle bearing -- which is different for
each of them. This is not surprising, as they come from varied backgrounds
-- Momix, the Rambert Academy, the Institut del Teatre de Barcelona,
the Conservatorio Nacional de Danca in Lisbon, Madame Floriane Vergere
in Geneva -- and various countries. Nonetheless, they cohere. The
cleanest performance, a running around solo that sends the piece
into the same orbit as the music, belongs to Kideto Heshiki, whose
background includes Butoh. The most buoyant is that of Shane Hedges,
who springs from the School of American Ballet and the Joffrey Ballet
School. Maybe it doesn't matter what you train in, if you train
well, any more than it matters what you believe in, if you believe
well. I'm not sure what Amanda Miller herself believes in, from
the evidence of this piece, though I have some idea of what she
doesn't. About J.S. Bach, though, I have no doubts.

ZFS No Show Down to Licensing Issues
- September 3rd, 2009
- Apple Rumour, Mac OS X Leopard, Mac OS X Snow Leopard
- Alex Brooks
During the testing of Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server the much hyped file system ZFS did make a brief appearance, as it did with Mac OS X Leopard client and server. Neither of these operating systems actually shipped with ZFS read or writing capabilities this is partly due to a licensing issue says data storage expert Robin Harris.
Sun prefers the CDDL and may have asked for some extra protections, including Apple's promise not seek damages should Sun lose the ZFS patent infringement suits initiated by NetApp, that caused Apple to reconsider the business risk of ZFS.
Harris goes onto explain that Sun could release ZFS under a GNU General Public License (GPL) but that would allow its conclusion in other environments, Harris continues saying that Oracle's imminent acquisition of Sun could bring the ZFS licensing issues to light again.

According to the Canadian Press on Friday, Maelle Ricker of Vancouver, British Columbia still plans to compete at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi in the sport of women's snowboard cross even though she has a broken arm.
Ricker suffered the injury while training in Aspen, Colorado on Tuesday. It was initially reported by the Canadian Olympic Comittee that Ricker, who is the reigning Olympic and world champion in women's snowboard cross had a broken wrist, but x-rays showed the injury was a lot more serious.
Ricker will be rehabilitating her arm in Squamish, British Columbia before leaving with the Canadian Olympic snowboard team to Sochi on February 8. The women's snowboard cross competition will take place on February 16 with Ricker and Dominique Maltais of Petite-Riviere-St-Francois, Quebec both medal contenders for Canada. Maltais is the reigning World Cup champion and the bronze medalist from the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Torino.

Daylight Saving Time will end soon, and evening walks with the pup will be in the dark. We've already noticed that the nights are growing shorter. The Pup Crawl Lights-Up Leash ($25) has LED lights that are visible from a quarter of a mile away. Even while we're standing by the side of the road waiting for our dog to finish sniffing his 54th tree, cars and trucks will be able to see us. Three dollars from the sale of each leash is sent on to benefit shelter animals.

Shenandoah National Park
Shenandoah National Park has the longest hacking history of any site in Virginia. The first hacking phase took place between 1989 and 1993. These efforts were rewarded when the first peregrine pair documented in Virginia's mountains since recovery efforts began was confirmed at the Park's Little Stony Man Mountain in 1992. In 1993, a probable pair was documented in the Stony Man area. The first successful nesting occurred in 1994, when 2 chicks fledged from the Stony Man nest. This pair fledged young again in 1996 and 1997, but spring storms caused egg washouts in 1995 and 1998. The pair failed again in 1999, and no nesting attempt was reported in 2000 or 2001. Hacking (this time with peregrine chicks from at-risk Virginia coastal bridge nests) was re-established in 2000 and has continued on an annual basis since then. This second phase of hacking is credited for the establishment of a pair of falcons in 2005, which fledged one chick from their Stony Man nest. In 2006 the nest was washed out by a storm, but the pair successfully fledged young chicks that were fostered to the site from the Benjamin Harrison Bridge. The pair attempted to breed twice more in 2007, but their eggs were predated by a raccoon. Although 2008 saw no breeding activity at the Park, observations led staff to suspect that a new pair was forming. In 2009 the pair was confirmed, along with young birds that they had fledged. The pair's nest was located on Old Rag in 2010, but was subsequently washed out by a storm in late May. Extensive monitoring by NPS staff and volunteers has been a critical component in documenting the status of breeding falcons at Shenandoah National Park. It will continue to accompany hacking efforts at the Park into the foreseeable future.

Oct. 10, 2011
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - Massachusetts cross country swept the A-10 Cross Country Performers of the Week awards on Monday afternoon, as Sean Duncan and Karen Roa earned the accolades for the men's and women's sides respectively.

This is the third straight meet in which the Gardner, Mass. native has led the Minutemen. Duncan is the only repeat winner of the weekly A-10 Conference Award thus far this season.
Karen Roa brought home her first weekly A-10 accolade of the 2011 campaign on Monday afternoon for the women's side.

NHRA Funny Car driver John Force, 16-time NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series champion, has been nominated for the 2014 ESPY Best Driver Award, awarded by ESPN. This marks the sixth time Force has been nominated for the ESPY Best Driver Award. Joining Force on the 2014 ESPY Best Driver ballot are NASCAR drivers Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. and IndyCar drivers Scott Dixon and Ryan Hunter-Reay.
The winner of 139 Funny Car races – an NHRA-record – Force was also nominated for the ESPY Best Driver award in 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2011. The ESPY Awards (Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly) were created by ESPN in 1993. Fans can vote for Force and their other sports heroes in each of 33 different categories via an online poll at the ESPYs website. Voting is underway and concludes at 9 p.m. ET on July 16th.

On Tuesday night's episode of "America's Got Talent" the performers came in the hopes of vowing the audience and judges alike with their talent, and so many of them did just that. It was a night of grace, beauty, and awe-inspiring auditions.
There was Emily West, somewhat quirky and shy who began to sing and her voice was melodious and outstanding leaving everyone cheering and without question she was sent through. The acts that are most memorable are those where the performer or performers seem a bit off during the interview and when they come out on stage they just do not give a positive vibe, but then as they start their audition everyone is left speechless at first, such was the case with the singing quartet named Legacy, they could not even remember what their group was called at first, but they did an excellent job singing. And then there was Rachel Butera who was fascinating with her imitation of celebrities who are so recognized by their unique sounding voices. Then there was Mat Franco, at first somewhat uncomfortable on stage, but then his magic trick was unique and mesmerizing to everyone in the audience and viewers alike.
No one will ever forget Paul Ieti a serviceman who was overwhelmed by the immensity of the stage and appeared to have issues at first, but then managed to get over the initial hurdle and his singing was beautiful and endearing. Of course there was Christina Stoinev who balanced his entire body on a finger, but this is one of those acts that posses the question, "how far can he go to continue on throughout the competition?" And then Maggie Lane a soprano with a beautiful voice, who nonetheless, decided to remove her dress while singing and showed a beautiful body covered by a tiny red bikini.
And to close the show was a 12 year old comedian, -Josh Orlian-, performing for the first time before anyone other than his parents and brothers, and although shy and taken back at first, managed to get a hold of himself and was outstanding with his off color jokes with innuendos, original material and coming from such an unlikely performer makes the jokes sound funnier; outstanding audition.
"America's Got Talent" runs on Tuesday at 8 p.m. EDT on NBC.

Coaches News Conference | Coaches News Conference Video
By DARREN MILLER
TAMPA, Fla. -- Head football coaches from the University of Iowa and Louisiana State University came together for a joint news conference Sunday at the Wyndham Hotel, and it was difficult to tell which one had heard more questions about conference superiority.
It didn't take long for an inquiry about the strength of the Southeastern Conference to be asked, and as usual, UI head coach Kirk Ferentz handled it with grace.
"You would have to be blind to college football not to recognize the level of talent and the level of coaching in the (SEC) -- it's outstanding and it is well documented," Ferentz said.
That's when LSU head coach Les Miles chimed in, putting his two cents in support of the Big Ten, a conference where played and coached at Michigan.
"I wasn't asked this question, but I'm going to answer it anyway," Miles said. "If you're from the Big Ten you enjoy seeing some of those old helmets; the conference is a tremendously competitive, very capable football conference. The more you study it, the Big Ten Conference is every bit as capable as any conference in America."
That was the tone of the first media gathering with the coaches that, to no one's surprise, turned into a meeting of the mutual admiration society.
For Ferentz, this is his fourth trip to the Outback Bowl in the last 11 seasons. The Hawkeyes faced Florida in 2004 and 2006, and South Carolina in 2009 with Iowa winning two of the three games.
"You would have to be blind to college football not to recognize the level of talent and the level of coaching in the (SEC) -- it's outstanding and it is well documented."
Kirk Ferentz
UI football coach
LSU is 9-3 overall, 5-3 in the SEC. The Tigers are searching for their fourth season in a row with 10 or more victories. This season they were the only team to defeat Auburn (Sept. 21), which is playing for a national championship.
"Any time you line up to play a game, especially a bowl game, you are playing an outstanding opponent and it means you have a good team, too, and had a good season," Ferentz said. "That in itself is enough motivation for anyone who is involved in the ball game and all that other stuff is just stuff. It's a chance to go out and compete against a good football team and both these teams have done that during the course of the year -- we both play in tough conferences."
Starting at quarterback for the Tigers is true freshman Anthony Jennings, who led his team on a game-winning drive in the regular season finale against Arkansas.
"The only wild card for us is we don't have much tape on him," Ferentz said. "The job of any quarterback, regardless of his style or of his age, is to move the team, and he moved them in about as extreme circumstances as you could dream up. For him to move from an incoming freshman to the No. 2 guy the way he did says a lot about the people who have seen him on a day-to-day basis. We can count on a really good player being back there."
Most bowl games have a first game feel to them, but the presence of Jennings magnifies that.
"What they were doing is working well this year, but we have to be ready for anything," Ferentz said. "I don't expect wholesale changes but I'm sure we'll see a wrinkle or two, that only makes sense. Philosophically what they try to do we expect to see that."
This is Ferentz's 15th season at Iowa; Miles is in his ninth season at LSU.
"This is a place we have enjoyed living," Ferentz said. "We moved here in 1981 not knowing what to expect and we have lived here 23 years total. It's a great place to live, raise a family and coach football. Those are the most important things to me but it takes a mutual agreement."

Junior goalkeeper Christiane Cordero
Aug. 16, 2012
Match Notes l Live Video (subscription)
GREENVILLE, N.C. - The East Carolina women's soccer team kicks off the 2012 season Friday night at 7 p.m. (ET) against Campbell on the road inside the Eakes Athletic Complex.
ECU, who posted an 11-8-1 record a year ago and advanced to the semifinals of the C-USA Tournament, welcomes back 20 letterwinners including All Conference USA Tournament selections Christiane Cordero (goal keeper) and Hali Oughton (defender) as well as all-freshman selection Kelley Johnson.
Cordero and Oughton anchored a defense that recorded five shutouts and posted a 1.37 goals against average. As a sophomore, Cordero started 19 games in goal posting an 11-7-1 record, and recording 81 saves. Against UCF in the opening round of the 2011 C-USA Soccer Championships, she notched a season-high 10 saves in the Pirates first-ever win over the Knights, 2-1.
Oughton has been a staple in the Pirate backfield since stepping on campus in 2009. The Redondo Beach, Calif. native has started 56 of 58 career games, which includes 40-straight starts since Oct. 30, 2009. A year ago, she was one of five Pirates to start all 20 games logging over 1,700 minutes on the pitch and played ever minute of 18 games.
Johnson started two of 20 games scoring her first collegiate goal against No. 21 William & Mary.
Other top returning players include seniors Caty Butler (14 career goals), Rachel Fuller (45 starts), Chrissy Gratz (eight career goals), Maddie Maurer (29 starts), Rachel Wechsler (39 starts), along with sophomores Lexi Miller (two goals) and Mackenzie Semerad (one goal).
Also stepping on the pitch are six new faces in junior college transfer Katelyn Custer (Lees McRae) and freshmen Jenny Betz, Jackie Cajigal, Kendall Frey, Kelsie Halstenrud and Haley Patsey.
The Camels, who were picked to finish first in the Big South by the conference head coaches, return nine starters from a squad that posted a 15-5-2 overall ledger and went 7-1-2 in league play. Sophomore forward Ashley Clark led the squad with 11 goals and tallied a team second-best seven assists for 29 points. Also returning is redshirt senior Kirsty Meyer along with her seven strikes and six assists. ECU's offense will be challenged as goalie Ryann Torrero returns for her senior season. Last year she posted a 13-3-2 record with six clean sheets, 102 saves and a 1.04 goals against average.

Pre-Market Primer: Futures Point to Rally's End
Vincent Trivett
The UK is in danger of a triple-dip recession.
Investors are shying away from stocks after a seven-day rally that brought post-crisis highs.
After a yet another record high yesterday,
(INDEXDJX:.DJI) futures fell 0.20% to 14,352. Futures on the
(INDEXSP:.INX) sank 0.21% to 1,547.30 and
(INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) futures declined 0.29% to 2,797.50.
With no major economic data releases today, politics might take center stage for US investors. This morning, Congressman Paul Ryan will introduce his budget proposal, which will seek to balance the budget through $4.6 trillion in spending cuts. Mary Jo White and Richard Cordray, prospective candidates to lead the Securities and Exchange Commission and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, respectively, will face confirmation hearings in the Senate.
Today, Germany confirmed that inflation rose at the slowest rate in over two years in February. Consumer prices rose 1.5% on a yearly basis, down from 1.7% in January. Inflation would have been 1.1% if not for increased food and energy prices. Modest inflation numbers like this could make a rate cut from the European Central Bank more likely. Bundesbank head and ECB member Jens Weidmann said today that inflation risk is also declining.
Sterling declined today as UK factory orders unexpectedly fell 1.5% in January. Economists expected the indicator to stay flat. Industrial output also fell 1.2%, missing estimates of a 0.1% increase. These indicators raise the possibility that the economy shrinks again this quarter, officially putting the country in a recession. The data release proved positive for British stocks which rose on the hopes that more stimulus spending could be around the corner.
Italy's political uncertainty is costing the country more in borrowing costs. At an auction today, Italy paid an average yield of 1.28% on 7.75 billion euros of one-year debt, the highest rate since December 2012. Spain's borrowing cost fell today. It sold 5.8 billion euros of one-year bonds for an average yield of 1.363%, down from 1.548% at a similar sale last month.
(NASDAQ:BBRY) shares extended yesterday's 14% gain in pre-market trading. The stock spiked after the head of China's
(PINK:LNVGY) said that he would consider acquiring the Canadian company. The new BlackBerry Z10 smartphone goes on sale in the US next week.
In a vote of confidence for
(NYSE:BA), Ireland-based
(NASDAQ:RYAAY) placed an $18 billion order with the American aerospace company. The company will buy 200 jets to update its fleet.
Yum Brands
(NYSE:YUM) shares rose this morning after reporting that China sales fell by less than expected. The parent of KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell saw same-store-sales fall 20% in China as the country investigates the company's chicken quality. Previously, the company forecast a 25% drop in sales.
(NASDAQ:COST) net profit rose 39% in its fiscal second quarter. Revenue rose 8% to $24.34 billion. The wholesale outlet added members over the quarter, boosting membership fees 15% to $528 million.
