Apple iPhone 5 vs Galaxy S3 (LTE, Battery, Speed, Display) Part123
This is a fun objective test I wanted to do comparing the new iPhone 5 from Apple to the Galaxy S3 from Samsung. A few tests performed are LTE, Battery life, App load test, and display. Understand that this test is not scientific and is more for fun. Clearly both phones run different operating systems and handle things differently. This is not an Android VS iOS 6 test. If you would like to see a comparison between Android and iOS operating systems please watch my Android VS iOS Series here: – youtu.be Apple iPhone vs Galaxy S3 Part 2: youtu.be To get the latest on my work follow me on G+ or Twitter Google+ – gplus.to Follow me on Twitter – twitter.com

May 7, 2009
DeKALB, Ill. - Once again this spring, Northern Illinois coaches and staff are hitting the road to meet and greet Huskie fans at the annual Huskie Athletic Scholarship Fund (HASF) Spring Caravans. Coaches Jerry Kill (football), Ricardo Patton (men's basketball), Carol Owens (women's basketball) and Associate Vice-President/Director of Athletics Jeff Compher will headline the events to be held in Chicago, St. Charles, Rockford and DeKalb/Sycamore over the next four Thursdays.
At each caravan stop, which are free and open to the public, fans will hear directly from the coaches and Compher, and will have a chance to ask questions as well as engage in one-on-one conversation. There will be drawings for door prizes, the opportunity to order football season tickets, and food and drink available for purchase. In 2009, the NIU Alumni Association has partnered with the HASF to put on the spring caravans and will have a presence at each event.
The first of the four Spring Caravan stops will be in Chicago on Thursday, May 14 at Goose Island (3535 Clark Street) in Wrigleyville. The fun gets underway upstairs at approximately 4:30 p.m., or immediately following the conclusion of the Chicago Cubs - San Diego Padres game, which begins at 1:20 p.m. Kill, Compher, Owens, volleyball coach Ray Gooden and men's soccer coach Steve Simmons top the list of expected NIU attendees.
One week later, on Thursday, May 21, the Huskies head to the Filling Station (300 W. Main St.) in nearby St. Charles for the annual Kane County stop of the HASF tour. Kill, Patton, Owens and Compher make up a portion of the line-up as Northern Illinois fans will congregate on the patio.
On May 28, Northern Illinois coaches and staff, including Kill and Patton, baseball coach Ed Mathey, women's soccer coach Carrie Barker and wrestling's Dave Grant, will head north to Rockford's Aldeen Golf Club (1900 Reid Farm Road) where the caravan activities kick off at approximately 6:30 p.m. Prior to the evening event, NIU coaches and staff will participate in an afternoon golf outing at the Aldeen Golf Club. Fans interested in playing golf with the Huskies should call the HASF Office at 815-753-1923.
Again, admission to all of the Huskie Caravan events is free. In addition, please note that the coaches' schedules are subject to change although representatives of the football and men's and women's basketball programs are expected at each event.
The Huskie Athletics Scholarship Fund, the primary direct support organization for Northern Illinois Athletics, is currently in the middle of its annual fund drive, its largest fundraising effort of the year. Funds raised through the spring drive go directly to support NIU student-athletes in all 17 sports programs.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) -- Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway says his office and attorneys for nationally syndicated parenting columnist John Rosemond have agreed that Conway should be dismissed from a lawsuit.
Rosemond filed a federal lawsuit this month saying his first amendment right to free speech was violated when he received a cease and desist letter from Kentucky authorities because he isn't licensed to practice in the state.
Conway said in a statement that the attorney who sent the letter to Rosemond did so on behalf of the Kentucky Board of Psychology, not the Kentucky Attorney General's office.
Rosemond has been dispensing parenting advice in his newspaper column since 1976. He has written 11 parenting books and is a licensed psychologist in his home state of North Carolina.
The suit will continue against the Kentucky Board of Psychology.

Curtailment of the Apollo moon landings meant that surplus Saturn V's were available, so the pre-equipped, five times heavier, and much more capable Skylab resulted.
The external solar/meteoroid shield ripped off during ascent, tearing away one solar panel wing and debris jamming the remaining panel. Without the shield internal temperatures soared to 52 deg C. Launch of the first crew was delayed for 10 days to develop procedures and crew training to make the workshop habitable. Repairs by subsequent crews led to virtually all mission objectives being met. It was intended that the station would be revisited and boosted to a higher orbit on the third flight of the space shuttle. But delays in the shuttle program and higher-than-anticipated atmospheric drag led to the station decaying from orbit well before the first shuttle launch. Skylab re-entered the earth's atmosphere amid worldwide hysteria on 11 July 1979, with chunks of the disintegrating space station crashing over a wide area of Australia.
Skylab's scientific payloads included:
From fore to aft, Skylab was made up of the following modules, each with their own development history and heritage from the earlier Orbital Workshop and Apollo Applications Program: MDA Multiple Docking Adapter: 5.2 m x 3.05 ft diameter / ATM Apollo Telescope Mount: 3.96 m x 3.05 ft diameter / AM Airlock Module: 5.49 m x 3.05 ft diameter / IU Instrument Unit: 0.9 m x 2.04 m diameter / OWS Orbital Workshop: 14.6 m x 6.7 ft diameter.
Crew Size: 3. Orbital Storage: 730 days. Habitable Volume: 361.00 m3. RCS Coarse No x Thrust: Reaction wheels. Electric System: 11.00 average kW.
Gross mass: 76,295 kg (168,201 lb).
Height: 36.12 m (118.50 ft).
Span: 21.00 m (68.00 ft).
First Launch: 1973.05.14.
Number: 1 .
An unexpected telemetry indication of meteoroid shield deployment and solar array wing 2 beam fairing separation was received 1 minute and 3 seconds after liftoff. However, all other systems of the OWS appeared normal, and the OWS was inserted into a near-circular Earth orbit of approximately 435 km altitude. The payload shroud was jettisoned, and the ATM with its solar array was deployed as planned during the first orbit. Deployment of the Workshop solar array and the meteoroid shield was not successful. In fact the xternal solar/meteoroid shield had ripped off 63 seconds into ascent, tearing away one solar panel wing and debris jamming the remaining panel. Without shield temperatures soared in station. Repairs by crews led to virtually all mission objectives being met.
Following the final manned phase of the Skylab mission, ground controllers performed some engineering tests of certain Skylab systems--tests that ground personnel were reluctant to do while men were aboard. Results from these tests helped to determine causes of failures during the mission and to obtain data on long term degradation of space systems.
Upon completion of the engineering tests, Skylab was positioned into a stable attitude and systems were shut down. It was expected that Skylab would remain in orbit eight to ten years. It was to have been visited by an early shuttle mission, reboosted into a higher orbit, and used by space shuttle crews. But delays in the first flight of the shuttle made this impossible.
On July 11, 1979, Skylab disintegrated when it re-entered the earth's atmosphere after a worldwide scare over its pending crash. The debris stretched from the south-east Indian Ocean into Western Australia. Additional Details: here....

Video: A Two-Minute Look Back at the 2012 Election That Was
A mere year and a half ago ago, it felt like this day might never come.
As this election winds down to its final day, we wait for undecided voters to finally make up their minds, for polls to close, and for votes to be counted (and possibly recounted). More than a year and a half ago, in early 2011, Republican candidates were merely forming exploratory committees and it felt like today might never arrive. But here we are, with just hours to go. Maybe you've forgotten some of the moments that led us to today, and for that we've compiled a brief look back at Election 2012 through the many debates, the Etch A Sketches, and the "Oops"-es. Take a look:

College Hockey:SUNYAC picks: Nov. 30
The first six weeks of the SUNYAC season have been the appetizer, and Oswego, USCHO's top-ranked team, has been gobbling up all comers. Now comes the main course, or at least the first bite of it on Saturday, as the Lakers will finally meet their prime contender, No. 7 Plattsburgh, for the first time this year. This is not the only interesting tilt on this weekend's SUNYAC sked, however. With teams already jockeying for playoff position, every game seems to carry some sort of critical implication. (Last week's picks: 2-1).
Friday, Nov. 30
Buffalo State at Fredonia
One of the SUNYAC's hottest rivalries, both teams will relish the chance to do damage to the other. Fredonia has dropped three in a row — all on the road, while the Bengals snapped a four-game skid in their last start. The Blue Devils have lost once at home, while Buffalo State has only one win away from home. Fredonia 3-2
Saturday, Dec. 1
Plattsburgh at Oswego
A Platty win would send a message throughout the conference, yea, verily, throughout the country. The feeling here is that won't get it. Oswego 4-1
Potsdam at Cortland
Both teams can be entertaining. The one that goes for broke has the better chance of coming out on top. Cortland 4-3

Range Description
Physical Description
Habitat and Ecology
Sexual maturation in the female occurs at about 23-24 cm SL, or about three years old (Tseng and Ho 1988). The oldest fish found by two studies was seven years (Tseng and Ho 1988, Hung 1994). The generation time is therefore assumed to lie between 3-7 years. Hung also provides figures for the percentage of the annual catch off Fujian province that falls in each age class. The mean age of adults was four years but the extremes of three and seven are still used as this subpopulation would have been fairly heavily exploited. Four years was, however, used as the point estimate in the species assessment. The growth in mariculture operations for valuable grouper species has prompted an interest in obtaining broodstock for spawning and hatchery rearing. Males of E. akaara (males are larger than females) are very difficult to obtain, another indication of the severe depletions indicated for this species (Patrick Chan, pers. comm. 2002).
There is no information in the (sparse) literature to suggest that Hong Kong grouper aggregate to spawn. However, a knowledgeable recreational diver who has dived in Hong Kong reported seeing up to 50 individuals close together on the reef on several occasions (Patrick Chan, pers. comm. 2001) during summer indicating spawning aggregations may have occurred in the past. None have been reported in the last few decades, however, and this species is no longer common in Hong Kong. Attains 35 cm SL (Masuda et al. 1984). The Japanese All-tackle record for Hong Kong grouper is 1.65 kg (Japanese Game Fishing Association 2001).

- Needs updating
Declines in landings are assumed to reflect declines in Hong Kong grouper stocks unless it is known that fishing effort has decreased or other factors are involved. The mean percentage decline of Hong Kong grouper (excluding Hong Kong and Taiwan which appear to have negligible populations of Hong Kong grouper) from China (90%), Japan (50%) and Republic of Korea (50%) is 63 %.
Ideally, the percentage decline would be applied to estimates of the original Hong Kong grouper population within each country for which the decline applies. This would be done for all countries and the overall decline would be the percentage difference between the original global population size and the current one. Unfortunately, estimates of country stock size are non-existent for this species. The declines were therefore weighted by rocky reef area (rather than by population size) to give an overall decline figure. This method assumes that pristine densities of Hong Kong grouper were the same at all localities. This is probably not likely to have been the case but it enables a single figure to be derived which is likely more representative of the global situation than the alternative, which is just to say the decline lies between 50 and 90% (the lowest and highest decline rates).
It is worth noting that simply taking the mean of all decline figures gave a very similar figure, 63% rather than 65%.
Population Trend
The Hong Kong grouper is the most expensive of all the Epinephelus groupers in Hong Kong. It is known from anecdotal accounts that the abundance of this fish has declined considerably from the 1960s to late 1990s in Hong Kong waters (see Sadovy and Cornish 2000).
Moreover, supply of Hong Kong grouper seed (i.e., the fry and fingerlings), which was the favoured species for mariculture in southern China, is known to have significantly decreased in abundance (the small fish are taken from the wild and then are grown up to market size in captivity). For example, the seed was abundant in Fujian (a province of mainland China) waters in the early 1980s but was very rare by 1994 (Sadovy 2000). In 1979, Hong Kong culturists purchased, for grow-out, at least 180,000 kg of this species (200,000-450,000 fish of 100-200 g) that had been wild-caught from southern China, today seed of this species from China is rare (Sadovy 2000). It was reported that Hong Kong grouper landings could not keep up with demand by the late 1970s and that prices had risen from HK$ 33-50/kg in 1978 to HK$ 50-70/kg in 1979 as a result (Tseng and Ho 1988). Juveniles are no longer readily available from Hong Kong either (Sadovy and Cornish 2000).
Conservation Actions
There is a serious lack of time-series data from annual landings, CPUE, underwater visual census from countries in the North-West Pacific where this species is distributed. Such data would greatly increase the accuracy of future assessments.
Ideally, each country would conduct a full stock assessment on this species, which would calculate population size as well as rates of decline. It would also be useful to know from genetic studies whether there are subpopulations within the range of this fish.
Knowledge of natural reproductive behaviour in the wild, particularly whether the species aggregates to spawn (and where and when), would be of use in managing stocks of this species in the wild.

After establishing a major build up for the project, Cezar (Milwaukee) finally gave his supporters No Refunds on the 18th of last month. The tape comes with hosting handled courtesy of DJ Trill Will and thirteen hard hitting tracks. Amongst which is a remix to his hit song, "#Joogin." There are guest appearances from fellow artists such as Bad Newz and Yung Renz. As well as production from the likes of: AO Beats, VZ The Kid, Krazi Beatz, etc. The Examiner fancied three songs in addition to the ones previously in rotation that deserved a bit of spotlight. Discover what three songs those were below.
This record was produced by VZ The Kid. The production here is good. The eerily reposed structure, subtle secondary elements, measured pace, and austere vibe result in an interesting combination. The hook is fair. It's basically just repetition of the title with a minor contribution from Cezar. The verses get the job done. Cezar bestows an orderly flow upon the listener with gratifying wordplay and fine tuned rhymes. He smartly conveys the importance of the almighty dollar from his point of view.
A couple of lines to ponder over include: "I say we cause the team found a vision. These n---as out here weak. They don't breath what we breathing. Chilling back counting cheese while I'm California dreaming. And I do not believe that the money is the evil. Cause if there wasn't bread, we'd be back to selling people. I'd rather chase these hundreds than a n---a on a leash. Cause then I can cash out and float away on the beach. And in the mean time catch me plotting my escape." Those bars right there show off a deeper side of Cez. As a whole, this is a polished offering.
"War Ready" F/ Yung Renz
This song kicks off with a clip of an individual being sentenced. Next, the beat comes in. The production here is no joke. The cold street style bass, heavy foreboding background details, deliberate tempo, and intensified vibe are respectably matched. The hook is decent. The delivery is unique and the lyrics are abrasive. The verses are well packaged. Cezar takes the lead and Yung Renz plays second in command. Both artists serve up spirited flows, gutsy wordplay, and savage rhymes. They leave no doubt in the listener's mind that they are more than prepared to do battle if the need arises.
Digest as Cezar spits: "Young n---a, bout it bout it. B---h I'm from Milwaukee. Saw my n---a catch a body. Hit him with the shotty. Getting rowdy with my goons. JR pass the loudy. Gangsta s--t, gangsta s--t is all that I embody. War ready, call me Cezar Luciano. (...) I let it pop like confetti. Leave 'em chopped like machetes. Have a n---a ribs sitting on a table like a deli. This a fully automatic. I don't f--k with no semis. Heard they want it with the boy, tell them n---as I'm ready." Those are some lethal words being spouted right there. Overall, this is a hood banger for sure.
"414 In Milwaukee"
This selection falls in line with what Cezar has dubbed his 'Cezmixes.' It is an adaptation of rapper Drake's "5AM in Toronto." The original production remained untouched. Which was a great decision because the beat is flawless. It contains a: vigorous foundation, trendy musical components, a groovy rhythm, and a magnetic vibe. There is no hook utilized on this cut. Which works out fine as it would just get in the way. The uninterrupted verse is of top-shelf quality. Cezar exhibits a high energy flow, sly wordplay, and proficient rhymes. He gives a classic freestyle type of performance.
A handful of ear catching lines are: "Some n---as is making moves. But most of you filling space. You n---as play by the rules. I heard that them b---hes break. Now n---as is throwing shots. But never up in the spot. Pouring Moet in her hair and she catching every drop. My n---a I want it all. I couldn't stay on the bench cause players are supposed to ball. My life gone be in a hall with legends up on a wall. You n---as still don't believe me. I'm lyrically Barry Bonds." One has to appreciate the dexterity of those bars right there. All in all, this a legit remix as well as a site favorite.
No Refunds was certainly worth all of the hype and waiting. The production was precise. The collective of producers on the tape are beyond talented when it comes to working behind the boards. The guest appearances were valid. Cezar chose to pair up with artists with whom he has a very favorable rapport. And the content was absolute. Cezar exercised a lot of flexibility with his style and his bars were spot on for every track. I believe this is some of his best work to date. Readers need to head on over to Dat Piff to check out the full project as soon as possible.

The Sacramento Republic F.C. won on the road again, this time defeating the Orange County Blues F.C. 6-1 to secure a post in the USL Pro postseason playoffs. Tommy Stewart would score the first hat trick of the young franchise's history when he scored three goals in the second half to lead his team to victory. Mickey Daly, Adam Jahn and Nemanja Vuković would also score goals for the Republic. The win gives Sacramento a league leading seven road victories for the season.
A spirited crowd of 753 fans attended Sunday afternoon's game at Anteater Stadium. The Blues were looking for a win and so were the Republic who were looking to earn a spot in the postseason. Sacramento dominated the first half by shutting out Orange County 1-0. But on the other hand, they were able to hold the Republic to just one goal when Nemanja Vuković scored in the 38th minute.
The Blues came out of the second half desperately trying to score an equalizer. Orange County was successful in 48th minute when Allan Russell scored a goal off of a penalty kick. But from then on it was all Sacramento as they would pour it on with five goals and solemnly defeat the Blues 6-1. The Republic improves to 14-6-3 whilst the Blues fall to 9-16.
Sacramento's next home game is this Wednesday at 8:00 P.M. against the Wilmington Hammerheads at Bonney Field. Some tickets are available and they can be purchased at http://www.ticketmaster.com/sacramento-republic-fc-vs-wilmington-hammerh....

Investors love stocks that consistently beat the Street without getting ahead of their fundamentals and risking a meltdown. The best stocks offer sustainable market-beating gains, with robust and improving financial metrics that support strong price growth. Does CommVault (NASDAQ:CVLT) fit the bill? Let's take a look at what its recent results tell us about its potential for future gains.
What we're looking for
The graphs you're about to see tell CommVault's story, and we'll be grading the quality of that story in several ways:
- Growth: Are profits, margins, and free cash flow all increasing?
- Valuation: Is share price growing in line with earnings per share?
- Opportunities: Is return on equity increasing while debt to equity declines?
- Dividends: Are dividends consistently growing in a sustainable way?
What the numbers tell you
Now, let's take a look at CommVault's key statistics:
Passing Criteria
3-Year* Change
Revenue growth > 30%
Improving profit margin
Free cash flow growth > Net income growth
135.3% vs. 205%
Improving EPS
Stock growth (+ 15%) < EPS growth
18.1% vs. 177.8%
Passing Criteria
3-Year* Change
Improving return on equity
Declining debt to equity
No debt
How we got here and where we're going
CommVault missed out on a passing grade today only because its net income has grown faster than its free cash flow. Still, six out of seven passing grades is quite strong. It's also worth keeping in mind that CommVault's free cash flow has consistently been higher than its net income, and its latest trailing 12-month free cash flow is nearly double its trailing 12-month net income. Despite the company's obvious prowess, the market has punished CommVault's shares during the past year, which has left many investors wondering when perception will again catch up to reality. What can CommVault do to turn things around? Let's dig deeper to find out.
It's been a rough road for CommVault in 2014. The company's fourth-quarter report led to a stock bloodbath, as shares dropped nearly a third lower on what was generally nothing more than mixed results. The key takeaway in that report wasn't so much that the company didn't come in where Wall Street wanted, but that CommVault's top- and bottom-line growth rates had slowed to the weakest pace recorded in three years. Analysts at RBC Capital Markets, Raymond James, Mizuho Securities, and Sterne Agee have all moderated their expectations since the fourth-quarter report. RBC and Mizuho each dropped their price targets to $61 and $60 per share, respectively, and analysts at Raymond James and Sterne Agee voiced concerns about the company's growth prospects.
CommVault's EPS growth rates have always been a bit erratic, but the weakening trend has now become unmistakable -- CommVault simply isn't growing its EPS the way it used to. Since CommVault also recorded the slowest rate of year-over-year quarterly revenue growth since the end of the recession, it certainly seems like the good times are nearing an end:
Of course, "good times" can mean quite different things when considering different companies. CommVault's three primary competitors, EMC (NYSE:EMC), IBM (NYSE:IBM), and Symantec (NASDAQ:SYMC), have not matched CommVault's top-line growth rate for a single quarter out of the past three years and, at the moment, neither IBM nor Symantec are even reporting any sort of revenue growth at all:
CommVault doesn't hold up quite as well when compared to its competitors' EPS growth rates. While it's consistently posted the highest quarterly EPS growth of the four companies, it's recently fallen behind Symantec -- but at least it's still outperforming EMC and IBM, which have struggled mightily (and frequently failed) to push quarterly EPS higher year over year:
What's notable about these two graphs, particularly the revenue comparison, is that CommVault is far from alone in fighting slower growth. All four data-management leaders show an unmistakable pattern of slowing growth, and it can't be a coincidence that the valuable services these companies provide have fallen somewhat out of favor as cloud-computing solutions proliferate. Companies at all levels have access to an increasingly diverse array of low- or no-cost data-storage solutions and, although CommVault's core offerings make full use of cloud resources, it must also promise a competitive edge over those cheaper alternatives.
As long as its growth rates remain positive, CommVault can at least show financial proof of its competitive edge; but slowing growth also serves as a warning sign that this edge might be growing dull. Investors might be tempted to focus on the fact that CommVault now trades at its lowest valuations (on both a P/E and price-to-free-cash-flow basis) in more than three years, but it's also important to watch growth rates. If they keep slowing, then a cheap valuation today could become tomorrow's value trap.
Putting the pieces together
Today, CommVault has many of the qualities that make up a great stock; but no stock is truly perfect. Digging deeper can help you uncover the answers you need to make a great buy -- or to stay away from a stock that's going nowhere.
Leaked: Apple's next smart device (warning, it may shock you)
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early-in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

College Hockey:Beavers Inch Toward CHA Regular-Season Title
BEMIDJI, Minn. — Bemidji State moved closer to clinching its second consecutive CHA regular-season championship, topping archrival Alabama-Huntsville, 3-2, in a hard-fought contest Saturday.
BSU's victory extended its lead over the Chargers in the CHA standings to five points, with the Beavers having two conference games remaining on their regular-season slate and the Chargers with four CHA games left.
Alabama-Huntsville is at Robert Morris next weekend and ends its regular season at Wayne State, while BSU has only a March 4-5 series at Air Force.
Bemidji State grabbed an early 2-0 lead and never looked back. Sophomore Ryan Miller scored his first goal since Nov. 13, 2004 at 8:41 of the first, taking a pass from Ryan Huddy and Blaine Jarvis to stake the Beavers to a 1-0 lead.
That lead held for seven minutes, until Andrew Martens scored his first career power-play goal at 15:04 of the first period after a brief scrap at the Bemidji State net.
At 13:55 of the first, Huntsville's Grant Selinger let loose a shot on goal and then collided with BSU goaltender Layne Sedevie. The collision led to penalties on Selinger for goaltender interference and on BSU's Jean-Guy Gervais for roughing, and Selinger retaliated against Gervais and drew an additional roughing minor which led to the power play.
The pair of penalties on Selinger would be the beginning of a rough night for the Charger center. He was whistled for four penalties in the game, and two of those penalties led to BSU power-play goals.
BSU took the 2-0 lead into the first intermission, following suit from Friday night and outshooting the Chargers 19-6 in the period. In the two-game series, BSU outshot Huntsville by a combined 39-10 in the first period.
Huntsville's Dominick Rozman pulled the Chargers within a goal, 2-1, just 2:05 into the second period off a pass from Todd Bentley and David Nimmo, but BSU needed just 10 minutes to answer.
Selinger drew his third penalty of the night, a crosscheck at 11:09 of the period, and Brendan Cook responded with his team-leading 17th goal of the season at 12:31 with helpers from linemate Andrew Murray and Rob Sirianni.
Huntsville's Keith Rowe took advantage of an elbowing penalty against BSU's Peter Jonsson at 8:03 of the third period to pull the Chargers within a goal, 3-2, but the visitors would get no closer. Huntsville pulled goaltender Scott Munroe with 1:15 to play in regulation, but could not muster the equalizer.
"That was our best outing of the year," BSU head coach Tom Serratore said. "The intensity was there [and] we were tough. Really tough. All of our guys hit and finished their checks."
BSU's special teams units were the difference. The Beavers went 2-for-6 on the power play, including Cook's game-winner in the second period, and held the CHA-leading Charger power play to one goal on five chances.
"Our special teams really clicked," Serratore said. "We pushed the puck on the power play very well."
Sedevie saved 17 of 19 shots faced for BSU to earn the win and improve to 11-7-0 on the year. Munroe notched 33 saves and saw his season mark drop to 13-8-4.
The victory improved Bemidji State to 19-10-1 on the season and 14-4-0 for 28 points in College Hockey America play, while Alabama-Huntsville dropped to 14-8-4 and 11-3-1 for 23 points in CHA play.

Incoming freshmen Linnea Mack and Madison White each made the C final of the 50 Backstroke. White was 18th after the prelims (29.60) and finished 20th in the final (29.62). Mack improved from 22nd following the prelims (29.71) to 21st in the final (29.64).
On Friday, those two 2013-14 Bruin newcomers were back in the pool in the 100 Back. White made the C final, going 1:02.55 in the prelims (19th) and 1:02.48 (20th) in the final. Mack swam a 1:05.58 (44th).
The meet concluded on Saturday with three Bruins in the pool.

Texas Tech Track and Field Adds 13 Athletes
Texas Tech Director of Track and Field and Cross Country announced the addition of 13 athletes to the program.
Feb. 13, 2013
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech Director of Track and Field and Cross Country Wes Kittley announced today the addition of 13 student-athletes to national letters of intent.
A total of nine athletes have been added to the Lady Raiders' squad while four athletes have been added to the Red Raiders' squad.
"Our signing class has added depth overall to our team," Kittley said. "Depth has been our goal this year. There are places we need to fill and this class has helped us do that. We really helped our women's team depth with a balanced class of distance runners and jumpers. All of these kids are good academically and allows us to know they will be here for four years and be developed."

Guy Branum - A former writer for G4tv and Chelsea Lately (and a current contributor to the Huffington Post), Branum has appeared on MTV, E!, and at festivals across the country.
Janine Brito - Winner of the San Francisco Women's Comedy Competition (2009) and Rooftop Comedy's Silver Nail (2010), Brito has performed around the world and is a co-founder of the Laughter Against the Machine tour.
Dwayne Kennedy - A master of social satire, Kennedy has starred in his own Showtime special in addition to appearing in classic comedies (Seinfeld, Martin) and films (How High).
Hari Kondabolu - An NYC-based comic who's appeared on Comedy Central, the BBC, and late night, Kondabolu's a veteran of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival whose writing has also appeared in Spin Magazine.
Aparna Nancherla - On nearly every list of "names to watch," Nancherla is a standup, writer, and improviser with a deliciously absurd worldview.

Chapter 10 - The First Night
As he paced up and down in the main chamber of the Ponyville Library, Spike kept telling himself the same thing over and over. It'll be fine, things will work out, they won't leave you, and many more phrases his mind was conjuring up to help him at getting over the nerves he was experiencing. He had been with all of them at this point, they had got used to having him around, and by being that near each other they had done what they could to alleviate their concerns at the prospect of being together in a more permanent way. But even so, Spike still couldn't help but feel those occasional thoughts of doubt, that maybe something bad would come along at the last minute.
While he was pacing, Twilight was nearby, watching as her oldest friend was deep in thought over the matter. She had to do her best to stifle a chuckle at the sheer irony of this situation. In years gone by, she herself would often work herself up over matters she felt might end up being the end of the world, and Spike back then had been the one to try and snap her out of it. Now, their positions were reversed, with him being the one on the verge of a mental breakdown over his situation. Granted, this situation was far more than some mere test from Celestia, but even so, she knew those feelings well.
"Spike...it'll be alright."
The words of his alicorn friend seemed to help, though only a little, as Spike's expression softened by the barest of margins. He opened his mouth, ready to give thanks for the calming comment, when all of a sudden, there was a knock on the door. Spike stopped his pacing for the first time this evening as his neck snapped in the door's direction. He seemed to be frozen in place, as though his nerves over all this had robbed his ability to move or speak. Twilight shook her head at the sight of him like this before making her way towards the door. Once there she raised a hoof, turned the knob and opened the door, revealing the ones that both knew would be on the other side.
Spike, having managed to shake himself out of the trace-like state from the shock of the knocking, now looked on as Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Applejack all made their way inside the library. When Twilight closed the door behind them, the six mares all stood side-by-side, looking upon the drake. The silence in this one moment was, needless to say, incredibly uncomfortable, as the mares occasionally glanced at each other, all while Spike was having a hard time even looking any of them in the eye at all. After what seemed like an age of silence, Rainbow spoke first.
"Well...I guess this is it."
And that, in truth, was the real reason for this awkwardness. While all of them had, to one degree or another, accepted this massive change to their relationship, the fact of the matter was that the time had now finally arrived for what they all knew was going to happen between them and their young dragon friend. Spike looked at each of them in-turn, wondering how this had all come about. He was no less resentful of his dragon nature for having forced him and his friends into this situation, but even so, he now knew deep in his heart that, if such a thing had to happen, he could not think of any mares he would have wanted by his side than these six.
That was a thought that calmed him down a great deal, and he exhaled loudly, catching their attention. All six of the mares looked to him as he spoke.
"We may not have asked for this, but even so, I just wanted to say...thank you, for being willing to go through with this with me."
It took a few moments, but all of them showed their appreciation for his words by way of a warm smile, which he promptly returned. It was then that Twilight moved forward and stood beside Spike, looking up at him, and him down at her, with a look on her face that made it clear that they were here for him. He smiled even wider at that, wondering to himself how he would have ever been so fortunate as to have mares as special as these in his life. However, that calm and peaceful moment was spoiled somewhat as Pinkie Pie spoke up next.
"So how do we do this?"
As usual with Pinkie, it was a pretty direct and awkward statement, but it was one that was worth thinking about. Spike knew that she wasn't asking about the actual technique involved, as his visit to her home made it clear that she was more knowledgeable on the subject than the other five, but perhaps she was instead asking about who should go first or what order it would be done. Granted, this was a scenario in which Spike had virtually no idea on how best to answer. After all, the only people in the world who would have been in his shoes were other dragons, but he was loathe to ever consider asking them for advice. Instead, he was saved from having to potentially say something foolish, as Twilight gained his attention by gently placing a hoof onto his hand.
"I'll go first."
Spike looked down at her with a surprised expression. He knew that, like the other five, Twilight had long ago agreed to be his mate, but for her to just jump in the deep end like this and go first wasn't something he'd been expecting, as was something he was sure to voice to her.
"Twilight...are you sure?"
The young Princess nodded her head at that, still smiling.
"Yeah. And I'm sure the others will figure out who'll go afterwards, and so on."
One look at the nodding heads of the other mares made it clear that Twilight spoke the truth in that matter. So, letting out another sigh, Spike nodded at her, letting her know that he accepted her offer in this. Twilight turned to look at her friends, all of whom were giving her encouraging looks, which she returned with another smile. It was here that Twilight began to make her way upstairs, no doubt to go to the main bedroom to prepare. However, before she took more than three steps upwards, a thought came to Spike, and he raised a claw.
Twilight stopped in her tracks and looked back to him with a look of confusion on her face, as did the others. Spike was clearly looking nervous about something, and his repeated attempts to clear his throat made that all the more evident. However, when he finally spoke, their confusion vanished.
"I just need to know. Are any of you...in heat?"
That one question was, as one might expect, not one they thought would be asked of them, and under normal circumstances they might have been somewhat offended at being asked such a thing by a male. But, this was their mate they were talking about, and they knew exactly why such a question needed to be asked. After all, while everypony knew what could happen during a mating, and what could result from it eleven months afterwards, in heat it was a guarantee. All of the mares, Twilight included, looked to each other, perhaps just as curious as Spike as to who would answer, if any.
And sure enough, somepony did, as a yellow hoof was slowly raised upwards. Spike and all the other mares looked to the pegasus, their expressions one of surprise.
The mare, who had been avoiding their gaze during all this, looked up at them and nodded.
"It started a few days ago...just after you left my cottage."
They all looked at her, not saying a word. Their expressions had changed to ones of understanding, and Applejack walked over to her and placed a hoof on her shoulder, which Fluttershy seemed to appreciate. Spike thought was very thoughtful of this. He always knew such a thing had a chance of happening when this day finally arrived, but now it had actually happened. As such, he felt compelled to at least ask the question.
"Fluttershy...if you like, we can wait until after..."
But he was cut off by Fluttershy herself, who raised a hoof and shook her head.
"No. I...I want this."
That was, as one might expect, a surprise statement for all of them. But Spike, having been with her just a few days ago, knew exactly why she was still willing to go through with it. The possibility of what could be born from this was, as ever, present in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel somewhat uneasy about it. But, he remembered back to what Twilight had told him before, that how they would all be there for each other during whatever trials this union between them would bring. Sighing, he looked up at his pegasus mate and gave her a warm smile, which she promptly returned.
His attention was then diverted to Twilight once more, who nudged him in the side. The two smiled at each other and resumed their walk upstairs. The other mares looked on as they moved further away from them. This whole situation seemed so surreal to them, but even so, they had decided a while back that it was not one they would leave, even if they could. And so, the last the five mares saw of Spike and Twilight was them moving into the door leading into the main bedroom, with Twilight closing the door behind her.
Once inside, the two stared at each other for the longest time, interrupted only by Spike nervously glancing towards the bed at the other end of the room. Twilight knew from looking at him that he was probably wracked with nerves over this. In truth, she too was nervous, as this would be a first for her as well as him. But even so, after the many trials she'd been through in her life, she knew that something like this was not going to get the better of her. So, she reached out and placed her hoof upon his claw, gaining his absolute attention.
With an affectionate smile upon her face, Twilight began to lead him towards the bed, his claw still held by her hoof. They moved slowly, but soon enough reached the bed. Spike knew what was to happen next, but like before, it was as if he'd suddenly frozen in place. Stifling yet another giggle at seeing him like this, Twilight calmed his nerves by moving forward, gently nuzzling the side of his head with hers. He relaxed a great deal with this motion, and looked upon her. He knew that, from this moment forward, she would no longer just be a friend to him, or even his closest friend. She would be more than he ever thought she would be.
Twilight knew deep down that the young dragon would probably never make the first move in this scenario, so she elected to do so herself. As Spike watched, she began to assume the traditional position for mares waiting to be mated, as she lifted both of her front hooves and placed them upon the bed, her back now towards Spike. Her hind quarters were lifted up a little and slowly, she moved her tail to the side, presenting herself to him. Spike couldn't help but gulp at the sight of her like this. He obviously knew that this was all natural, but even so, actually experiencing it was something else altogether. His eyes then drifted to Twilight's head, as she turned her neck around as far as she could, her expression that of affection.
"It's okay. Take your time. We have all the time in the world."
Even with her seeming calm at all this, Spike couldn't help but voice a concern.
"I...I don't want to hurt you."
To that, Twilight simply smiled once again.
"You won't."
As nervous as he might have been, that was all the permission he needed. There would be no going back from this, but he'd accepted long ago that this was going to happen. And so, taking a deep breath, he began to move towards the first of his mates.
And so, the deed was done. As one would probably expect after such a night, Spike was utterly exhausted. They say such things become easier after your first time, but at this point he really couldn't tell how well he'd performed. The tips Pinkie gave him during his stay with her might have helped, but even so, he would have to wait until the next morning to really find out. And speaking of which, he looked down and a smile crept back onto his face. If someone were to describe this scene upon looking at it, they would cite the many classic images of a dragon, it's long body wrapped around it's precious treasure horde. Except, in this case, the treasure was six sleeping mares.
After their "activities" with Spike, every one of them was feeling too tired to make their way home, so it was suggested that they all stay here for the night. As the library had only ever had two beds, there had been some debate as to who would sleep where. It had taken, strangely enough, the words of Pinkie Pie to suggest that maybe they all just sleep together. "One big slumber party" she'd called it, and the others actually seemed pretty willing to do so. But then again, given that their relationship had suddenly become much closer, perhaps it wasn't too surprising. And so, here they were, all seven nestled warmly against one another, with Spike's bulk being what now held them together. The young dragon was still wide awake though, and now passed the time by watching over his sleeping mates. Although he'd first been aghast at being told what was required of him, he knew know that he wouldn't have traded this moment for all the world.
Their relationship to each other had, at last, been consummated. They were his, just as much as he was theirs. And while most dragons in the world would brag from here to the Crystal Empire about having as many mates as possible, that was only in the sense that they viewed them as trophies. Spike knew better. To him, these mares, that were now so still and silent, save for the gentle breathing in their sleep, were far more important to him than any treasure could ever be. Other dragons might have mocked him for such sentiments, as indeed might some ponies, but it didn't matter to him. All he knew was that, in this one moment, he could not have been happier.
But this was only the beginning, and he knew that. After what had transpired between them, he knew for certain that Fluttershy at least would be with foal by the morning, assuming she wasn't already. Parenthood would be a challenge, that much he knew, but so was being a mate. The latter challenge was something Spike had been preparing himself for ever since this whole thing had begun. And after tonight, he knew in his heart that he was fully devoted to these mares. He would be there for them, both in body and in soul, and whatever problems might emerge because of this, he knew that he would do everything in his power to shield them from them.
As he pondered that, he glanced over the mares, a smile creeping over his face once more. Ever so gently, he moved his long neck forward, his head gently nuzzling each of them as they slept. This arrangement between the seven of them may well have started out as a nightmare for him, but now, he knew that it was mot definitely a dream.
"Maybe...maybe this won't be so bad after all."

The end of the story, as Spike finally consummates his relationships with his six friends. I hope you've all enjoyed the story.

I loved this story, but I wish it could have been longer. It could use a bit more build up to the final chapter in my personal opinion. What I would have liked to see would be Spike and the others engage in their daily routine as people who are going to be potential mates. Like what I mean is, have them spend more time to actually develope feelings for Spike instead of feeling like they're obligated to do it. (Tackling that subject would make for a good sequel) But nonetheless this was an amazing story. Can't wait to read more of what you have in store. ^_^
Fine points. And don't worry about seeing morer, as there's a sequel in the works that I'll be posting up eventually.
Love it!!!!!!!
i cried and proud of it as a dude. i hope there is a sequel
Nice, as usual You tackled the subject with subtelty needed for that kind of story, You did great job once again.
This is a good read! I like how Spike has matured over the years. I hope we can get a sequel to this depicting more of their relationships and possible pregnancies of the Mane 6.
Aw cute ^^ Heh, spike will have a lot of babies afterwards....so are the mane 6 like his wives?
Really great man! Well written and everything. And can we maybe get an epilogue?

|Vandals Lose Opener vs. BSU
The Idaho women's swimming and diving team made its debut Saturday vs. rival Boise State in Boise. The team lost its opener 217.5 to 82.5, making it six straight losses to BSU.
"This was a bit of a tough start for us," Coach Mark Sowa said. "However, I know that we can compete with this team. Our focus on our skills was not what it should have been, blind effort is seldom successful. Yet, we saw moments of greatness from our newcomers and our returners raced well in spots."
There are still some positives to be taken from this meet. Junior swimmer Rachel Millet set a pool record in the backstroke during the meet with a time of 2:01.36. The record was previously held by former U.S. National Team member Jamie Reid.
The Vandal's next meet will be at home at the UI Swim Center where they will be swimming against Northern Colorado on Friday, October 18. They will also be swimming against Washington State at home on Saturday, October 19.
"I believe as we get healthy, we will be much better in two weeks," Sowa said.

This is a stock 861 that has been upgraded with an Audiocom clock. Well first impressions are its bloody heavy and commands some serious rack space. The only slightly resonant area of the case work is the top casing . Wrap a knuckle at your own risk anywhere else as it hurts;). Ok now for the scary bit. Yes i know there are many that think burn in or warming up is a load of cods wallop but my last two purchases in kit have both had to go through the warm up process when they've been out of action for a while. The Wadia is the most worrying piece of kit i've owned and as said before it really is a truly messed your pants moment when you first fire it up and play. Lifeless thin, recessed oh yeah and did i mention shite. Some more elders of the hobby though were luckily on hand to pas the Kleenex and lend me a new pair of trousers. The cd player was then left on repeat for a week and no more listening was done. The first in the tray was my old reviewing favourite Love over Gold. This was the first cd i played on day one and it sounded ordinary. I week later and what a transformation. The thing this cd player excels at IMHO is extracting every bit of information there is is on the disc but not in some mad dissected way which means it becomes distracting. It becomes totally musical and involving . Alas the only comparisons i can make is against my trusty old Marantz 63 KI and there were some real in your eye differences( and so there should be) . The Marantz pushes the vocals further forward in the mix than they need to be whereas the Wadia brings the vocal a bit further back into the mix on Telegraph Road. The upshot is you get to hear more of whats going on in the track but Knopflers still there centre stage plucking away furiously. The other astounding thing is the reproduction of drums. The drum rolls seem to start not just outside the speakers but rolled from one boundary wall to another. It really is breathtaking. Its so unforced in presentation that you may think it lacks spark but thats one of its strengths. If it ain't there it ain't there period.
Right on the subject of sound stage which many of you know i love it does this in spades. Not just in width but in height also. What this machine does is have you reaching for cd's that you gave up on a long time ago and staying uplate into the night. DSOTM is simply superb on this cd player. The sax solo's on the Marantz have a tendency to become a bit raspy and shrill. There is a definite reediness that can be heard with the Wadiaand it becomes more lifelike because of it. Remember this is only after 1 week. Yesterday it had ben up and running for two weeks and the sound has improved again. Closely miked stuff is a revelation and acoustic guitar playing is so lifelike in sound and sound effects you could swear you'd know what guitar pick Antonio was using. Downside are if its recorded badly its recorded badly and the Wadia doesn't wash over this. Its still makes it playable but you get the gist of what i'm saying. On Love over Gold there is not a inky black noise floor. You know it was recorded on analogue tapes and its the same for some of the earlier Stones cd's. It doesn't detract from the performance it rather endorses and rubber stamps it. The last cd in tray for reviewing purposes was SRV Texas Flood. James you'll probably know why i 've used this cd and its gets pretty close to what we heard at Heathrow.
If you have the cash this should be on your short list as should many others in this price category . The plus points are of course upgradability which means the casework stays the same but not necessarily the gubbins inside. Just don't listen to it for the first week at least:dude:
