Head Coach Al Bagnoli
On the offensive performance:
"Going into the game, I was worried. We had a considerable amount of bumps and bruises in that William & Mary game. So coming into the game, we did not have the greatest practice week which was a cause for concern. We came out (today) and I thought we played very lackluster, and I'll take the blame for that. We should have been ready to play in the first half, and I give Columbia credit for taking it to us. Honestly, they dominated that first half. They absolutely dominated the first half. Fast forward it and I think our kids did a great job with the hurry-up. I think we got into a little bit of a rhythm and I think we did a great job at that point with making plays and resiliency, and being able to handle the stress of two minutes, however the push leading up to that was not stellar. Looking forward, we need to correct it. But I'm happy for our kids, and obviously we know we have to play better, we have to coach better, we're going to have to practice better, and execute better."
Senior QB Billy Ragone
On the Lions containing WR Conner Scott:
"Their defense is going to key on him. He's definitely our go to guy at wide receiver. But they did a nice job giving him fits, clouding a safety over him. But it gave our other guys an opportunity to step up and they did. Lyle Marsh and Ryan Mitchell did a great job and our couple tight ends did great filling in. We just have to have more answers when Conner isn't contributing as much as we'd like."
On the offensive line against Columbia's touted defensive line:
"I thought our offensive line did a great job in seeing what they had and making their adjustments. They've been doing a good job, run blocking and pass blocking all year and they're a good solid group, and they're going to continue to lead this offense. They played a good second half and they did a good job responding to their good pass rush. They (Columbia) had good down guys and a couple of good linebackers so our guys really responded after a couple of bad series."
Senior DL Brandon Copeland
On the final defensive stop:
"That last drive had 50 seconds on the clock. At that point we were just like, don't let them score. We would like to get there every time, sack them every time or go three-and-out, but they're football players as well, they're trying to score as well. At the end of the day, we ultimately got the job accomplished. But we want to clean up our spots and not have to come that close anymore."
On whether Columbia's offense wore them down:
"I wouldn't say it was too much fatigue. Let's not downplay their coaching and those guys played a great game. They found open spots, got receivers open and I'll be the first to step up and say that d-line and myself, we need to get there a lot more than we have been. We're in the QB's face a lot but he's still getting the ball off, we want to get there faster. But other than that, they (Columbia) played a great game, had a great game plan."

Hello Fellow REO Agents...
IF YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR fast and fail proof techniques For Getting REO LISTINGS FROM BANKS AND ASSET MANAGERS YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
This website contains sensitive and high demand information so closely guarded that it could get me banned from the industry!
In This website you will have access to personal and direct point of contact information for asset managers who are responsible for assigning REO listings to agents throughout the country.
You will also be given access to a system of tools and techniques that have CONSISTENTLY proven to produce REO listings results... EVERYTIME
Simply put………. This website will change your life
The REO Rainmaker is the most powerful Real Estate (REO) Agent information, education, and transformation blueprint on the internet today.
The tools and information being offered on this site are the culmination of hundreds of hours of research and thousands of dollars spent in locating the most influential decision makers (Asset Managers) in the REO industry today.
The REO Rainmaker is the ultimate blueprint to efficiently and effectively gain direct access Asset Managers and key REO Industry decision makers across the country. This website contains ground breaking tools and techniques that until now have never been shared.
I have developed and tested the most effective strategies and techniques for obtaining REO listings and am now sharing those today with the real estate world.
ABSOLUTELY NOT!....Never EVER has there been a better time for real estate agents to start relationships with banks and asset managers and start listing homes in their inventory. Contrary to popular belief, banks continue to hire agents in all US locations . There has been a wave of new servicers that have entered the game who have just started actively recruiting and hiring on agents. How do I know this?... Because im LIVING PROOF
You will have the opportunity to get INSTANT access to the same DIRECT CONTACT METHOD and REO RESUME BUILDER that in a very short period of time has yielded MASSIVE RESULTS with numerous banks and REO servicers.
ABSOLUTELY... But you must take action NOW.
WHO AM I ?...AND WHY AM I about to grant you access to this information?
Hello everybody…… for now let me introduce myself as AGENT X.
I'm not thrilled about starting a business relationship off anonymously but with the information and products I'm about to share with you I think you will understand why there really is no other way to do it.
While my success did not come overnight but I can say that it did come much faster than I ever thought possible. I can attribute this 100% to the extensive research I did and the game changing tools that I developed.
If you asked me right after I was assigned my first REO listing if I would ever reveal my methods, strategies and results I used to anyone? …..I would say to you….HELL NO!
After all, I had spent thousands on REO Seminars and travel fees and the better part of 2 years getting to the point I was at. This was my blood sweat and tears that I poured into this mission and I wasn't about to share this with anybody. If I was to tell somebody how to do this, I had this intense fear that one day they would start cutting into my business or even worse it could get out that I was leaking out asset managers confidential contact information I would lose everything!
Inevitably I came to the conclusion that for now it was best to keep my system and asset manager contact list to myself.
Fast forward several months…..As time passed the techniques and tools that I used to land my first REO account became even more refined and polished. Account after account and listing after listing my business grew to a point I would of never thought imaginable.
This is when I had an epiphany…I couldn't possibly list every home in every state and in every city and county. I could barely handle my own county. That leaves a massive void of unchartered territories where I have contacts and tools that would work just as well in other states and counties as it did in my own area.
I also concluded that there were throngs of agents across the United States in every major and minor city who would love nothing more than to work with the banks and asset managers I already have relationships with but don't have the know how or financial resources that I was fortunate enough to have.
What if I could recover my research investment and really "pay it forward" by helping other agents located throughout the country realize their dream to list REO properties?..................................
What you are seeing above are the keys to your REO listings future.
In the course of my REO quest I have come to identify the 3 CRITICAL ELEMENTS THAT YOU MUST HAVE IN PLACE TO give the Asset Managers exactly what they want to be able to have any chance at all to get listings.
Now after countless REO industry seminars, Hundreds of hours of research and thousands of dollars spent. We have come up with what we consider to be the greatest Asset manager LIST ever assembled and at this poin the ONLY one for that matter!
After 2 years+ of extensive and thorough research I introduce to you the ASSET MANAGER GOLD LIST.
Make no mistake….. this list is nothing like any other list that you may have seen or purchased on any other site. These sites pedal worthless Bank and Asset manager information that can be found on any internet search if you look hard enough. What im offering has NEVER been made available to Real Estate Agents and Brokers………..UNTIL NOW.
The NATIONAL ASSET MANAGER GOLD LIST gives you the names of the top 300 most influential Bank Managers and REO Company Asset Managers across the United States . These are the Asset Managers who are directly responsible for liquidating Bank assets through agents listing referrals.
The National Asset Manager Gold List gives you:
- The Asset Managers First and Last name as well as the company they represent
- The Asset Managers unlisted company phone number and direct private extension
- The Asset Managers unlisted personal company email address
This list was built from my personal business contacts as well as from other top producing REO agents across the nation whom I met at REO events and "traded" information with.
I took the attendance roster for every major REO industry event that I attended and retained a " people finder" investigation service to assist me in getting each of the these Asset Managers "work contact" information.
While this wasn't cheap, it most certainly proved to be one of the most effective techniques ive ever employed to yield rock solid insider REO executive contact information.
I can't tell you how instrumental this list has been for growing my REO business from "struggling just to get one REO listing" to a major "REO listing powerhouse" in my county.
The asset manager gold list is by far the most complete and definitive guide of asset managers and bank REO agent recruiters ever assembled.
If your County or surrounding cities contain any REO listings you will most certainly find the asset manager that represents that property on this list….. It's that powerful.
So what you think a list like this would be worth to you? Recently I located a website that was charging between $275-$500 for just one name! And I'm sure somebody probably paid it realizing that if you get one lucky break that your life as you know it will be change forever. But you will get this list for only a small fraction of the cost.
Before continuing on, what I would like to do is to take a moment to contemplate something that was crucial and what I believe proved to be instrumental in my ultimate success. This is the fundamental REO agent truth the kept me going in my drive to become successful in this business…
And this is what I call the "REO LISTING AGENT MANTRA":
Included in your package is The Custom Designed REO RAINMAKER RESUME TEMPLATE.
It is absolutely crucial that you have a spectacular resume that clearly sets you apart.
Well the REO RAINMAKER RESUME TEMPLATE was designed with two thoughts in mind…..
BLOW AWAY ASSET MANAGERS and Blow Away Your competition!
This simple to use- Fully Automated 4 PAGE COLOR - Fill In The Blank -custom resume maker delivers the professional image and polished look that's so vital for being noticed in this business.
We all know what a daunting task sitting down and writing a resume is. "What to say?" and "how to say it?" on a resume proves challenging even for the most advanced writers.
THE REORM RESUME TEMPLATE gives you a resume that has already been cleverly written for you! You will get a resume that's chalk full of important Real Estate Agent key words and phrases that you will decide to keep/modify/or delete to fit your current situation.
But what makes this resume even better is that the Colors, fonts, Shapes, and Images have been brilliantly layed out for you to produce a truly visually stunning REO RESUME MASTERPIECE.
This exact same resume prototype has already proven to be instrumental in launching REO careers as well as quick income BPO's (See Testimonials).
But what if you want to do this yourself?
To PROFESSIONALLY write and design a stunning resume you are looking at minimally :
$200+ Graphics Designer : to organize the layout, and structure
$300+ Copy Writer : To put together the information you give them
Not only do you get the resume template but you will also get a resume sample done in the exact same format as reference.
Now the answer to the million dollar question…..What if I have little to no REO experience to put on my resume?
My reply to you is….. "IT DOES NOT MATTER."….. How do I know this?…..
Because when I started out I was in the same boat! I made the HUGE mistake of listening to my Office Colleagues as well as my conscience for years that would always cite my lack of experience as the reason why I wouldn't and shouldn't get into this REO business.
THAT MISTAKE COST ME SO MUCH LOST TIME AND LOST INCOME that I can never get back and I regret that immensely! DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I MADE and talk yourself out of it because of "Experience".
I have a revelation for you…this is the same revelation that I had that helped me get over the perceived "experience" obstacle.
This is a universal truth that EVERY SINGLE REO LISTING AGENT shares with one another….Know what it is???
Let me share it with you…"EACH AND EVERY AGENT THAT HAS EVER LISTED A REO PROPERTY HAD TO START SOMEWHERE"………. So let your "Somewhere" start here!
I am going to give you the exact contact methods and frequency of delivery that I implemented to get my first listing In a simple easy to understand daily calendar format.
I explain EXACTLY how to approach these asset managers by Phone, E-mail, and Fax and give you sample scripts that work and have already proven successful (See testimonials).
These are techniques I have personally used to get business and I will teach you my techniques and methods to bring you massive results in this business.
For those who may be a little shy, I have also created an
e-mail drip system that is a literal REO listing magnet for
those that execute the easy to follow plan.
- The National Asset Manager Gold List
- The REO Rainmaker Resume Template
- The 90 Day Action Plan
What would a list be worth to you that can maybe bring you 1,2, 5,10,25 extra escrow closes a year with REO LISTINGS?

Parks and Recreation Reca: Pawnee Eagelton Showdown
Parks and Rec continues to be delightful: last night's episode played to every single one of the show's strengths, pairing Tom and Donna with Ron as he attempted to go off-grid by destroying all public evidence of his existence and pitting Leslie and Pawnee against their enemies, the snobs of Eagelton. Kristen Bell was pitch-perfect as the snotty Eageleton rep ("We don't like to talk about MONEY," she whispered as a kick-off to their budget meeting.) There's also some sense of the plot moving forward, and taking its characters along with it: Leslie is forced to work with Eagelton, eventually deciding that Pawnee will absorb the town and some its debt in order to save the regional economy, and Ann and Chris start thinking about raising their baby somewhere where the baby bibs don't come standard with pictures of NASCAR drivers. Ron learns that he'll have to compromise occasionally on his intransigent anti-government, anti-sharing stance now that he has a family to take care of.
The only character who's stuck is April, who just decides she doesn't really want to go to veterinary school in Bloomington after all. Don't get me wrong, I want April to stick around Pawnee (especially as Ann and Chris prepare to take their leave) but I wanted more from that plotline than April, who's always dour and recalcitrant, trusting a gut feeling that the school isn't for her. I hope that's not the end of her story, because it's a depressing kind of story to tell about a smart young woman, that she just instinctually knows not to move away from home, and that that feeling is always the right one to trust.

I've been referred to this website, hopefully you have the background in set theory to help me out here.
Got two questions, the first is on number systems arising out of set theory and the second is a small one about functions. I've tried to be as clear as possible but please bear with me; the only reason I'm posting this is because I'm so confused.
I'm trying to get my bearings on the set-theoretic construction of the natural numbers. Just as I was confused looking at the the way the reals could be axiomatically defined, or constructed by Cantor or Dedekind, or thinking that Cauchy, Weierstrass etc... all had different constructions so now am I going through that with the various explanations of the natural numbers as originating from set theory.
The Peano axioms can be taken as the starting point, but I found out that they could be taken as a theorem in set theory, so I've been trying to do that. It seems that one way is to look at the idea of an ordinal which is a transitive set whose elements are also transitive. But there's also this idea of equivalence classes that apparently lead to contradictions in ZFC. Also there's the Axiom of Infinity method in the wiki link I've given below. Perhaps there's even more, or these are the same in some way I can't see?
A problem arises for me as I've come to believe that rational numbers are defined as a set of equivalence classes, but Wikipedia says that equivalence classes are ruled out of axiomatic set theory so what replaces Q when dealing with ZFC? When you remove equivalence classes from the picture what defines the rational numbers in ZFC? I'm sure whatever you do will generalize to the reals.
I think the question could best be put as follows:
Starting from the most fundamentals, i.e., the axioms of a specific model of set theory, what is the logical and linear progression of topics that leads to the construction of $\mathbb{N}$, then $\mathbb{Z}$, then $\mathbb{Q}$, then $\mathbb{R}$, then $\mathbb{C}$? It seems to me that there are at least two possible methods this way, one using Von Neumann ordinals (with an axiom of infinity?), while the other uses the ideas of relations/equivalence classes etc... If you know anything about how to do this & understand the distinctions between the various methods of doing this could you just let me know, hopefully with a few analogies!
As an aside, I just read earlier that the difference between the Riemann & Lebesgue integrals can be explained by the analogy of a shop taking in money, the Riemann integral adds the money up as it comes in all through the day while the Lebesgue integral separates the coins out at the end of the day according to a certain scheme (i.e. the idea of measure). I'm sure there exists a nice way to picture the two (or more) schemes for constructing the number systems! (I read this earlier & I had to mention it as it would just be so helpful!).
I think equivalence classes originated with Frege & Russell used them but they run into contradictions which ZFC surmounts but Quine's set theory removes the contradictions & allows the use of equivalence classes. I'm sure there is more than just the use of equivalence classes that distinguishes these two seperate constructions. Is it fair to group this into Frege/Russell/Quine on one side & ZFC-Neumann on the other? What about the axiom of infinity description in the wiki link below? Also, I assume that the construction of the number systems in the "Elementary Set Theory with a Universal Set" link below is just the Frege-Quine idea right, I mean it's not another new one is it?
Some links might be helpful for reference of what I'm talking about:
Definition of ordinal number (from Wikipedia).
A Tour through Mathematical Logic by Robert S. Wolf. On page 77, notice at the top of the page they say that $\in$ is a "well-founded relation". My knowledge of Naive set theory tells me that $\in$ is one of two undefinable constructs that you're supposed to take as given (I could quote the sources of this if needed), but here they call it a relation. Surely they don't mean relation in the subset of the cartesian product way do they? If it is a relation why would naive set theory call it undefinable when NST deals in defining what relations are?
Wikipedia's article on the set-theoretic definition of the natural numbers.
Wikipedia's article on the Axiom of Infinity. Notice here they've used something totally different (I think?) to construct the natural numbers, the axiom of infinity. There is no mention of ordinals in this link.
Elementary Set Theory with a Universal Set (in PDF format), by Holmes and Randall, 1988. (Surely not a different construction, it's the Frege one right?).
So, that is the current state of my thoughts on this topic, it's taken me a quite a while to figure this meagre stuff out & to find good sources which aren't at the graduate level to learn properly. If I hadn't read all this conflicting stuff I'd be happy to just use the following sources as my main material:
Videos on the fundamentals of mathematics by Bernd Schröder.
Foundations of Mathematical Analysis by J.K. Truss (in Google Books).
Basically if you could help me clean up my thoughts as regards the above stuff I've written, i.e. 3 different constructions 1) ZFC, 2) Frege Equivalence Relations, 3) Axiom of Infinity & the ∈ relation statement then I could move on to greener pastures!
My second question is brief, just on the topic of a function. First a function is the idea of $y = f(x)$ in school. Then a function is the same thing with domains and ranges. Then you see that a function is really a special case of a mapping $f\colon A \to B$ defined by $f\colon a \mapsto f(a)$.
But the latest thing I've read is that a function is really a set $(A,B,F)$ which is also written as $((A,B),F)$, & I assume it's to indicate order, i.e. a Kuratowski ordered pair, and $F$ is really $F \subseteq A \times B$. This is obviously a relation & it's dictated by the rule [ $$\forall(a\in A)\exists(b\in B)\Bigl( (a,b)\in F\wedge \bigl(f(a)=b\bigr)\Rightarrow (a,b)\in F\Bigr).$$
I'll admit that's not exactly clear, if it's possible to clean this up & clarify it please let me know. For example, where has the little $f$ come from? The general idea here makes a lot of sense & seeing as math is always employing set theory I wish they'd just use this notation from the beginning in books.
So the question is, is this the final resting place for the definition of a function? Could you clean this up for me? Could you give me some references where this definition is explained more clearly, I can't find anything other than a mention on wikipedia & the Ali Nesin set theory notes in the link I've given above.
Thanks so much, I know it's asking a lot of your time!

((Alright I will set this rpg during the game Knights of the Old Republic, and I will go out on a limb here and say that most of the people that play on these forums have played and beat KoTOR. For this rpg just the normal rules, no godmodding, try and make good posts, the usual. Make a character to. Its fine if you use some of the games NPCs to, just not ones that were killed or might have been, like Davik, or the gang leaders and what not.))
Darth Malak has just bombed the planet Taris in order to destroy the jedi heroine Bastila. The Sith battleship 'The Leviathan' nearly destroyed the entire planet with its powerful turbolasers.

Age: 26
Species: Human Male
Description: Red hair, green eyes, grey jumpsuit, black boots.
Bio: Drake grew up in a life of crime and eventually started working for Davik as a hired gun.
Drake was watching a prisoner at Daviks estate when it all happened. He was leaning on the wall outside a prison cell when he felt a large rumble. Suddenly he heard large crashed and another rumble shook him to the floor. He got up and ran across to the other end of the hallway and looked out a window. To his horror he saw large red beams coming from the sky destroying everyhting in their path, turbolasers. Everything was starting on fire and their were explosions everywhere. Another turbolaser must have hit their building because he was sent flying to the ground and he hit his head.

text: The Victory Gong wiki last edited by AlexRichardCapo on 12/20/15 10:22PM View full history The Victory Gong is an audio or visual cue designed to subtly (or unsubtly) signal to the player that a combat phase has ended, and that regular exploration/interaction can begin. As soon as the Victory Gong is sounded, allies and party members who have been killed or knocked out will often revive, as if the battle never happened. Oftentimes they will also regenerate health and mana.Victory Gongs are a relatively recent invention, only coming into fashion as real-time combat became the norm, and as shooters and action titles became more capable at delivering narrative. Prior to that, turn-based games did not expressly require a Victory Gong, since the division between combat and regular gameplay was often quite obvious. A Victory Gong is different from victory music as the Victory Gong is simply too short, or not musical at all.Though Victory Gongs were present in one form or another in many earlier games, their use became apparent with the advent of Gears of War, a cover-based third-person shooter that signaled the end of combat with an almost literal "GONG" sound. Other games that mimic Gears of War, including Terminator: Salvation and Hunted: the Demon's Forge, have often been seen implementing Victory Gongs.Role-playing games often use their musical scores as a form of Victory Gong, adding in a musical "stinger" to accompany the character's sheathing weapons or standing up straight.

The Maine Black Bears finish up the tail end of a two-game road swing as the team travels to Hartford, Conn., to take on No. 13 UConn at the XL Center on Friday evening. Maine tips off against the 8-0 Huskies at 7 p.m. before heading home for a two-game slate starting next weekend.
The Black Bears were led by their junior leadership as both Zarko Valjarevic and Xavier Pollard recorded 19 and 18 points, respectively, but Maine men's basketball dropped to 1-6 on the year with a 81-72 loss at NJIT on Wednesday night. NJIT improved to 5-4 overall as they sweep the season series between the two teams, going 2-0 in the home-and-home.
Maine was at one point down by 20 points, midway through the second half but battled back, going on a 28-13 run, to cut the deficit to five points with just over a minute remaining.
Pollard sparked the team in his return to the starting lineup as he recorded the Black Bear's first double-double of the year, scoring 18 points and pulling down 11 boards.
Meanwhile Valjarevic flourished from beyond the arc, shooting 50 percent (5-of-10) to aid his 19 point performance.
NJIT got huge efforts from Terrence Smith and Damon Lynn in the victory. Smith led the team with 22 points while Lynn wasn't too far behind, recording 19 of his own.
The Black Bears finished the game shooting 36 percent and allowed NJIT to hit on 47 percent from the field. Meanwhile the Highlanders got the best of the glass taking down 46 rebounds to Maine's 32.
The No. 12 team in the country comes into the contest a perfect 8-0 coming off a thrilling 65-64 win over Florida on Monday. Second year head coach Kevin Ollie has his alma mater off to its best start since the 2010-11 season with their unblemished record.
UConn is led in several categories by Shabazz Napier as the senior guard paces the Huskies in points per game (16.4), steals per game (1.8), rebounds per game (7.3) and assists per game (5.6).
The Huskies also have two more players averaging double-digit points as DeAndre Daniels and Ryan Boatright average 13.5 and 11.4, respectively.
As a team the Huskies are outscoring their opponents by 12 points per game on average, coming in with 76 points per game while allowing 64 points per contest. They've achieved that success by maintaining an impressive .449 from beyond the arc and shooting .485 from the field.
They've struggled rebounding the basketball early on this year as they come into the contest with a -0.7 rebounding margin but it hasn't effected the squad in the win column.
This will be the 99th meeting between these two squads with the Huskies maintaining an 82-16 margin over the Black Bears.
The Huskies have won the last 11 contests dating back to 1978 when the Black Bears defeated UConn, 79-73, in Storrs, Conn.
This series began in the early part of the 1900's as the Black Bears dropped the inaugural contest between the two squads by a whopping score of 21-16 away from Orono, Maine.
While the Black Bears have been on television before in 2013-14, the team will have a chance to play in front of a national audience as Maine's game against UConn, will carried on ESPN3. The online streaming service provided by ESPN Inc., delivers both live streams and replays of global sports events. You can find the event by going to:
The Black Bears have gotten off to a 1-6 start so far this year, and in order to turn it around the Black Bears need to improve in several categories. Here is how the stats suggest the Black Bears turn it around
• Improve first half shooting: The Black Bears have struggled out of the gate when it comes to shooting percentage. Maine has shot under 30 percent in the first frame, three times this season (Both games against NJIT and Quinnipiac). They need to improve that number as the team is 0-6 when trailing at halftime.
• Rebounding, rebounding rebounding: Maine's Achilles heal so far this season has been cleaning up the glass. They've been outrebounded six times this year and its no surprise that all six of those games went into the loss column. The team needs to improve their boards-margin (-10.6) in order to come away with wins.
• Improve from the stripe: Maine also needs to improve from the free throw line as they maintain a .608 percentage from the stripe. Meanwhile opponents are hitting .747 of their free throw chances. Maine is 0-6 so far when their opponent makes more free throws.
The Black Bears have excelled with assists both in past years and this season. The Black Bears enter the contest with 15.3 assists per game. Coming into the week the Black Bears were tied for 52nd in the country in assists per game with the likes of Memphis and Oregon State. Shaun Lawton has been the primary assist leader for the Black Bears as he leads the squad with 31 (5.16 apg).
Xavier Pollard recorded the team's first double-double of the season as he recorded 18 points and 11 rebounds in the team's second meeting against NJIT. It's the first double-double since last season when Pollard scored 15 points and 12 assists vs.
Siena (11/25/12), while it's the last points/rebound double-double since Troy Barnies accomplished the feat against New Hampshire on Jan. 25, 2011. This was Pollard's second career double-double.
The Black Bears are taking time this non-conference season to get to know their lineup. Through seven games the Black Bears have sent out six different starting lineups with the only repeat starting five coming against NJIT on Dec. 4, as the Black Bears put out the starting five they began with in the season opener. Some of this is due to an injury to Xavier Pollard, suffered earlier in the year, otherwise nine different Black Bears have seen the starting lineup.
The Black Bears are midway through what has been a challenging non-conference slate and it doesn't look to get any easier for Maine. The combined record of the 11 teams the squad faces before getting into America East play is 53-29 so far this season and has a .646 win percentage. In those 11 teams only one DI team has a record below .500 (Army 1-5).
While the Black Bears have struggled against a tough non-conference slate so far, Maine does rank fairly highly in many categories, in both the NCAA and the America East conference.
NCAA Rankings (Coming into the week/as of Dec. 2)
• Shaun Lawton moved up to 23rd in the nation in steals per game with 2.60, was previously 32nd.
America East Rankings (Coming into the week/as of Dec. 2)
• Maine is the No. 2 scoring offense in the conference with 78.0 points per game while they rank as the league's ninth scoring defense letting up 90.0 ppg.
• Maine ranks fourth in the league in field goal percentage with a .447 mark
• The Black Bears are second in the America East in 3-pointer defense limiting opponents to .325 from beyond the arc.
• Maine ranks No.1 in assists (15.5 apg), No. 2 in steals per game (8.0), No. 3 in turnover margin (-0.33) and first assist/turnover ratio (1.2)
• Dimitry Akanda-Coronel is third in the league in scoring with 17.3 ppg.
• Shaun Lawton is both 2nd in the AE in assists (4.8) and first in steals (2.6).
• Zarko Valjarevic is 2nd in the conference in 3-pointers made per game with 2.7 per contest.
• Garet Beal is tops in the conference in assist/turnover ratio through five games with a 2.1 ratio as he averages 3.0 assists per game and 1.4 turnovers per game.

As with all medications, there are possible side effects to consider when taking medication for ADHD (attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder). Doctors will discuss with you all the risks and benefits of starting a medicine. According to a poll at ADDitude Magazine, 80% of parents try two or more medications before finding the right one. Although there are a number of reasons you may need to try different medications, one cause could be the result of a side effect.
Common side effects for stimulant medications are suppressed appetite, sleep problems, and tics. A suppressed appetite may go away after a few weeks but if it doesn't you can take steps to work around it. Give medication at the same time as breakfast before the medicine kicks in and adjust the dosage if necessary so that it is wearing off before or at dinner. For lunch your child can drink a protein shake or meal bar as a substitute. Another option is to try a medication that is given in four hour doses so that your child can take it at breakfast and lunch with the previous dose wearing off around the time a meal is served.
If your child is experiencing the side effect of sleep problems there are a few simple options to remedy this issue. Some children have trouble falling asleep if their stimulant medication is worn off at bedtime. A four hour dose at bedtime could be your solution. Other children have trouble falling asleep because their medication is still in their system. If this is the case, you can adjust when the medication is given so that it is worn off at bedtime. If you find your child still suffering from the inability to fall asleep in a timely manner some parents find the over the counter supplement melatonin helpful. Talk with your doctor about other possibilities for assisting your child with his or her sleep problems.
Tics are a side effect that may seem the scariest to parents. Your doctor will ask if there is a family history of tic disorders before starting your child on a stimulant medication. Even children with no family history can develop tics from ADHD medication. If this is a side effect you are concerned with or you have noticed in your child speak with your doctor about a prescription medication that can help eliminate or reduce the tics.
Talk with your doctor about your concerns for side effects and how to overcome side effects you are seeing once your child begins taking medication.

First addicting game.
I think we all had one, that fame that you just wanted to play again and again. There are a few I remember I think Bubble bobble was my first one on the C64 but my first most addicting games where
- It came from the desert (was freaky but good)
- Rocket Ranger
- Wings
(okay so it went from one to about four hehe but once I thought of one all these others popped up)
Probably the two most addictive games I've played... Diablo and Final Fantasy VII... those two games each ate large chunks of my younger years :)
A game on the C64 where you had a bouncy-ball and had to navigate a scrolling terrain and obstacles, I can't think of the name of the game though >.<
Winter Games and Frogger were also right up there.
Aww I had that marble game, I think it was marble madness.
Oh hell yes, on the SNES I think it was... that game was awesome fun :)
I did lose a big chunk of time to fallout 1 and 2 as well :)
Halls of the Things on Spectrum - I dont think I've ever been so addicted to a game (I was pretty young....).
I'm not sure which came first for me. Dungeon Master or Civilisation. Both of those just filled my every waking moment... :) From the release dates I guess it was DM first!
Choplifter on the Apple II. Loved saving those little stick figures.
Aha I worked it out, the game I couldn't think of was Bounder - it was incredibly addictive!! Civilisation is still an old favourite - oh and Transport Tycoon, I still give that a run every now and again!

If you're living with psoriasis, you know how uncomfortable and embarrassing the red, itchy, scaly skin can be. Treatment options for psoriasis include steroid cream or other medicated creams, oral medications, and light therapy.
All of these treatments work well, but medications can have side effects and light therapy requires a regimen of three sessions a week for two to three months.
Today, there is another option for treating psoriasis: excimer lasers, which deliver ultraviolet light to localized areas of the skin. This treatment uses intense, focused doses of laser light to help control areas of mild to moderate psoriasis without harming healthy skin around them. Targeted laser therapy is similar in effectiveness to traditional light therapy, but it works in fewer sessions with stronger doses of light that can reach deeper into the affected skin. The handheld laser wands are also good for reaching psoriasis in hard-to-treat areas, such as the elbows, knees, palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and scalp.
How do laser treatments for psoriasis work? Can they really clear up your skin? Here's what the research shows about this new treatment for psoriasis.
Psoriasis Laser Treatment: How It Works
Excimer laser treatments are performed in the dermatologist's office. Each session takes only a few minutes. During the treatment, the doctor aims the laser directly at patches of psoriasis. You might feel some warmth at the site or a snapping sensation against the skin.
Laser treatments for psoriasis use one of two types of lasers: a pulsed dye laser (PDL) or an excimer laser.
Pulsed dye lasers create a concentrated beam of yellow light. When the light hits the skin, it converts to heat. The heat destroys the extra blood vessels in the skin that contribute to psoriasis, without harming nearby skin.
Excimer lasers aim a high intensity ultraviolet B (UVB) light dose of a very specific wavelength -- 308 nanometers -- directly at the psoriasis plaques. Because the laser light never touches the surrounding skin, it reduces the risk of UV radiation exposure. Excimer lasers are used to treat mild-to-moderate psoriasis.
With excimer laser therapy, patients usually have two treatments lasting 15-30 minutes each week for three or more weeks, with at least a 48-hour break between treatments. With pulsed dye laser therapy, sessions go for 15-30 minutes every three weeks.
Your doctor will determine your dose of laser light based on the thickness of your psoriasis plaques and your skin color (a lower dose is used on lighter skin). During the procedure, you will be given dark goggles to protect your eyes.

I know you shouldn't break up with someone by email, but if you would return my calls, texts and/or emails – well, maybe I wouldn't be breaking up with you in the first place.
You know who you are. I don't have to mention your names (and yes, there are several). I know you love me, at least you tell me you do on the rare occasion that I get to see or talk to you. But as they say "love is not enough". So, it's over.
Here's why. When I haven't heard back from these "friends" after several attempts, I worry and hope they are OK. My recent text to one of these friends went something like this "Are you alive? I've been leaving messages but have not heard back from you. If you are, indeed, dead, please disregard this message. If you are still alive, please just respond to this text so the Jewish Mother panic in me can subside." I did get a text back from her apologizing and telling me she would call me very soon. Have you heard from her? OK, now my Jewish Mother guilt is rearing its ugly head.
I think I'm a pretty good friend. I know all my friends birthdays and make sure I call them on their special day. I try to be there when they need me for anything. I revel in their successes and joys and comfort them in their sorrow. I feel their pain and call or email them just to let them know I'm here and love them.
The friends I'm keeping, well you know who you are. You love me unconditionally. I've tested this so I know it's true. You return my calls, texts and emails. You call me just to say hello and see how I'm doing. You're there for me when I need you and we get together as often as possible. It's a two way street and we make it work.
Maybe I'm too needy. Who knows? My girlfriends have always been extremely important to me. I didn't grow up in one of those homes where people liked each other very much. So my girlfriends were and are my chosen family. My best friend lived across the street from me and was born two weeks after me. Fifty eight years later we are still sisters and I'm godmother to her daughter. Sure, we've had our problems along the way and some of them have been pretty severe, but we do what girlfriends who love each other do. After we fight and stop talking to each other for a few days or weeks, one of us calls the other and either apologizes or tells her how hurt we were at her actions. We talk it out, kiss and make up. True friendship works that way. It is worth fighting for.
True friends also takes a lot of care and feeding to grow and maintain. You have to make a conscious effort for a friendship to last, that is, if you really want it to last. Think about that famous quote "people come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime (author unknown)". Sometimes that is all the time they were meant to be in your life.
If you are looking for a lifetime friend, here is my list of how to be a true friend.
1. Return calls, emails and texts. It seem so simple. Life happens and you get busy but make time to do that. Even if you don't have time to talk, just let us know. When I don't have time I answer the phone when I see it's my girlfriend calling (or call her back if she's left a message). The first thing I say is "hi, is everything ok?" When she says yes I tell her I'm in the middle of something so I can't talk right now and ask to call her back. I ask this questions because if it is truly an emergency, then I'll drop everything to help her.
2. If your friend is in a crisis, be there for her. Don't just help her through it when you talk to her or see her. Make sure to follow up with her. Call, text or email every couple of days to let her know you are thinking about her.
3. Remember important dates. If a friend tells me something significant is coming up; a job interview, a date, a vacation, a scary doctor's appointment, I make a note on my calendar to follow up with her to find out what happened. I'm a busy person too and if I don't write thing in my calendar I won't remember them.
4. Honor your friend on her birthday. Not everyone likes to make a big deal about their birthday but I don't know anyone who doesn't like getting a call, text, email or card on their special day. Recently one of my best girlfriends decided to make a party for my birthday. She sent out Evites to my friends. Some responded they couldn't make it. When many others didn't respond, she called them. I don't know about you but when I'm invited to something, I respond promptly and if I can't make it, I contact the person and wish them happy birthday. It's been almost six months and I still have not heard a word from three of these so-called friends.
5. Call your friends just to say hi and catch up. That's part of the care and feeding.
6. Stay connected to those far away friends and schedule a time to talk or Skype, even if it's once a month. That way you know the time is blocked out for you to "get together" and you stay in each other's lives.
7. Don't get mad and walk away. At least not permanently. You must tell your friend what they did to upset you so she can correct it. I'm sure it was not intentional but you are hurt none the less. If she doesn't call you, ask her what's wrong.
I had what I considered my closest girlfriend for over 10 years. We talked on a daily basis and saw each other a lot. We helped each other through our divorces, the deaths of our fathers and other significant life events. I had celebrated New Year's Eve at her house and we spent the morning together talking about our plans for the new year. We kissed and hugged as I left (we lived a few hours away from each other at the time) and I knew I would see her the following weekend to celebrate my 55th birthday that she was helping to plan.
I never heard from her again. After several days of leaving messages, emails and texts I got so worried I reached out to a mutual friend. I was sure something bad had happened to her. She let me know that my girlfriend was fine. Several weeks later I got an email from her indicating that she was no longer allowing me in her life and gave me several reasons and examples. I was shocked because in all the years that we had been so close, she never once said anything to me about what I did that bothered her. I'm far from perfect and my intensions are always good but I do screw up sometimes.
It felt like a piece of me had been removed and it took me a long time to get over, but I had to realize that those were her issues not mine. If she would have taken the time to talk to me when I did something wrong, I could have had the opportunity to apologize and not do it again. Please give your friend the opportunity to explain and apologize. Don't let things brew until you want to walk away.
8. Don't dump your girlfriends when you get a significant other. We're not in high school anymore. I know this new person you met is wonderful and you're falling in love and want to spend all your time together. That happens initially but I want to share in your happiness and joy too. We were so close when you were single and them boom! I've lost you.
So back to the girlfriends I'm breaking up with. I still love you but I require more. True friendship is a two way street and I've been driving that one way path for too long. Always know that if you ever decide that I am as important to you as you are to me, I'll be here waiting.

What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas...
By tls on Oct 05, 2007
Early Sunday morning, I head out to Paris in Las Vegas for a week of the Sun Customer Engineering Conference (CEC). The motto for vegas is
"What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas".
I along with many other Sun and Partner attendees will hopefully be breaking that rule this year as we blog about different sessions and goings on.
Maybe even some updates from the craps tables. I hope to get out an article later today previewing some of the directory and identity related sessions for the week.

Jimmie Dougherty begins his fourth season as the Huskies' wide receivers coach in 2012. During the off-season, he also added the title of pass game coordinator.
In his three seasons at the UW, Dougherty has mentored a number of high-achieving wide receivers, including a pair of seniors in 2012 who both wrote their names all over the UW record books before heading off to the NFL.
Those two seniors, Jermaine Kearse and Devin Aguilar, both finished their careers ranked among the top seven in UW history in both receptions and receiving yards. Kearse, who signed with the Seattle Seahawks, finished No. 2 on the Huskies' career receptions (180), receiving yards (2,871) and receiving touchdowns (29) lists while Aguilar was seventh in both receptions (131) and yards (1,802). Aguilar signed with the Tennessee Titans following graduation.
During his tenure at Washington, Dougherty also coached D'Andre Goodwin, who made his NFL debut with the Denver Broncos last year.
Dougherty, the former offensive coordinator at the University of San Diego, was hired as wide receivers coach in February, 2009. In January of 2012, he added the title of pass game coordinator.
In 2010, Dougherty coached Kearse to a 1,006-yard season, the seventh-highest single-season receiving yards total in Husky history. Additionally, Kearse's 12 receiving TDs were second-most in school history and he finished third in the Pac-10 in both receiving and receiving yards.
In his first season on the Husky coaching staff, Dougherty mentored a young group of receivers that showed consistent improvement over the course of the season. Kearse posted the (then) seventh-best season in Husky history in terms of receiving yards.
Dougherty spent the previous five seasons on the coaching staff at the University of San Diego. In 2008, he served as the Toreros' offensive coordinator.
Dougherty worked three seasons under former USD and current San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh and the last two under head coach Ron Caragher. Under Harbaugh, he coached the wide receivers for one season and tight ends the next before taking over as quarterbacks coach in 2006. As wide receivers coach, he mentored All-American Mike Gasperson.
While continuing to coach the QBs, he added passing game coordinator to his title for a season before being named offensive coordinator in 2008.
Dougherty coached Josh Johnson, a fifth-round draft pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who left USD having broken every school passing record. As a senior, Johnson threw 43 touchdowns and only one interception and he completed his career with 9,699 yards, 113 TDs and an NCAA-record pass efficiency of 176.7.
In 2007, the Toreros led the nation in passing efficiency (197.35) and Johnson led the nation in total offense for the second straight season. In 2008, as coordinator, Dougherty led a unit that was fifth in the FCS in pass efficiency and was 11th in scoring .
Prior to moving to San Diego, he was a graduate assistant at Illinois Wesleyan from 2002 to 2004.
Dougherty played quarterback at Missouri from 1997-2001, winning three letters for the Tigers. A native of Edwardsville, Ill., he graduated from Missouri in 2001 and earned a master's degree from Illinois State in 2004.
Dougherty and his wife, Harper, have a daughter named Collins.

BASIC EVIDENCE PROCEDURE -- RULES, OBJECTIONS and ARGUMENT
1. THE RULES. The admissibility of evidence is controlled by "rules" of evidence. These rules
come from four sources (in order of importance):
a. The Federal Rules of Evidence (FRE).
b. Common law and customary local practice
c. Statutes
d. Case law
2. WHEN DO THE RULES APPLY? (See FRE 101, 1101). In general:
a. The rules fully apply to both bench and jury trials.
b. In theory, the rules apply to motions that require a party to prove something, such as summary judgment proceedings or motions for change of venue based on adverse publicity. In practice, they are not strictly enforced.
c. They do not apply to miscellaneous criminal proceedings like probation revocation.
d. They do not apply to depositions.
e. They do not apply when laying foundations. See FRE 104.
f. Exception: The rules of privilege always apply and must be invoked during discovery, well before trial
3. OFFER: Items of evidence are offered one at a time -- one question and answer, or one exhibit. This is sometimes called a "proffer" for no apparent reason.
a. Items of evidence are objected to one at a time.
b. It is the responsibility of the opposing attorney to make an objection. If no objection is made, the evidence is admitted and may be considered by the jury, even if it is a privileged irrelevant hearsay opinion. Therefore, we do not ask whether evidence is "admissible" as if there were some objective determination. We ask whether there are grounds for making an objection.
c. Objections must be TIMELY. An objection must be made as soon as the grounds become
1) If the grounds are apparent from the question (Q: Is Ben a member of Al-Qaeda?), the objection should be made to the question before it is answered.
2) If the question is innocuous and the grounds arise for the first time in the answer (Q: Do you recall anything else? A: Oh, yes. Ben is a member of Al-Qaeda.), the objection should be made to the answer before the next question is asked.
d. Objections must be SPECIFIC. A good objection should do three things:
1) Designate what item of evidence is being objected to.
2) State the controlling rule by name ("The Prejudice Rule") or by number ("Rule 403")
3) If a rule has subparts, specify which subpart controls. For example, Rule 403 says evidence may be excluded if it is unfairly prejudicial or confuses the issues. A good objection tells the judge which concept you rely on.
5. MOTION TO STRIKE. A motion to strike the testimony is required if the jury has already heard the evidence.
a. A response is optional. You may withdraw the evidence and try again, or you may remain silent and let the judge rule.
b. Responses must be specific as to which items of evidence you think are admissible, which rule applies, and what specific language in the text of the rule supports admissibility.
c. You can make three kinds of arguments: 1) the evidence at issue is not the kind of evidence prohibited by a rule, 2) although the evidence is prohibited by the main rule, it falls within an exception (either explicit or implicit) that allows it. or 3) admitting the evidence is within the judge's equitable discretion to admit because it will make the trial more fair or better advance the search for truth.
7. ARGUMENTS BY LAWYERS.. Arguments in opposition to and support of admissibility are supposed to be conducted outside the hearing of the jury.
8. THE JUDGE MUST RULE ON THE OBJECTION. Rule 102 gives the judge broad
discretion. The judge's choices are:
a. SUSTAIN the objection and exclude the evidence entirely.
b. OVERRULE the objection and admit the evidence entirely.
c. Issue a CONDITIONAL ruling, either admitting or excluding the evidence tentatively, pending other evidence that is important to its ultimate admissibility. Rule 104(b).
d. Admit the evidence for a LIMITED purpose while instructing the jury not to consider it for a different purpose.
9. REMAINDERS. (Rule 106 and common law "rule of completeness"). If part of a document, conversation, or transaction is admitted that would be misleading if offered alone, the opponent may request and the judge may rule that all relevant parts be admitted at the same time.
10. OFFER OF PROOF. If evidence was excluded and the offering attorney wants to include
that issue in his or her appeal, the attorney must at the time of the adverse ruling make an offer of
proof that places the substance of the excluded evidence into the record.
a. Complicated version. The jury is removed from the courtroom, and the witness is questioned exactly as if the jury were present.
b. Simple version. The attorney submits a written or oral summary of the excluded evidence out of the hearing of the jury.
11. APPEAL. Bad evidentiary rulings are rarely appealable. Rule 103 says "A party may claim
error in a ruling to admit or exclude evidence only if the error affects a substantial right of the
party." In a long trial with lots of witnesses and 50 hours of testimony, it is highly unlikely that
any one erroneous evidence ruling will have affected a substantial right of a party.

Dawg Bites
• Four Division I schools have Huskies as their mascot: Washington, Northern Illinois, Connecticut and Northeastern. In addition several other colleges utilize the Husky as their mascot: St. Cloud State, Michigan Tech and Bloomsburg.
• Thursday's game vs. Cal Poly marked the first time this season that Washington has had all 10 of its scholarship players healthy and able to play in the same game.
• UW ranks last in the Pac-12 allowing its opponent 13.2 offensive rebounds per game, but against Cal Poly they allowed the Mustangs only 3 -- the lowest total this season and just the third time an opponent has had under 10 in a game.
• C.J. Wilcox has scored 20+ in six of the last 7 games and is the only Husky to score 10 or more points in all 11 games. Aziz N'Diaye has scored in double digits in each of the last 6 games to set a new career-long streak.

UW vs. Northern Illinois/Mid-American Conference
The two teams have never met. Northern Illinois is the second team that Washington has played that shares the Husky mascot. UConn is the other team, who Washington faces next time out on Dec. 29. Washington is 5-1 all-time against schools from the Mid-Amercian Conference. The last time the Huskies face a MAC team was in Nov. 17, 2001 when they beat Bowling Greenm 81-74, in the Top of the World Classic in Fairbanks, Alaska. The lone UW loss to a team from the MAC came to Miami of Ohio in the 1999 NCAA tournament.

Northern Illinois (2-8) is currently the third-least experienced team in the country, behind only Arkansas-Little Rock and Texas ... Abdel Nader is averaging 14.0 points per game in three contests since returning from suspension. Nader is averaging 27.1 points per 40 minutes played ... Antone Christian returned against DePaul (Dec. 16) after missing six games due to injury. In his second game back at Seattle (Dec. 19), Christian scored a season-high 11 points in just 10 minutes of action ... Travon Baker ranks second in the MAC in steals at 2.3 per contest, just 0.1 steals per game behind Kent State's Chris Evans ... The Huskies lead the conference in offensive rebounding averaging 14.0 offensive boards per game ... Coach Mark Montgomery was a longtime assistant for Tom Izzo at Michigan State before taking the job March 24, 2011. Northern Illinois is 7-34 under Montgomery.
Last Time Out
AP - C.J. Wilcox scored 21 points, and Washington used one of its best defensive efforts of the season to shake pesky Cal Poly 75-62 on Thursday night for the Huskies' first three-game win streak of the season. Scott Suggs added 12 points for the Huskies, who play one more home game on Saturday against Northern Illinois before beginning a challenging four-game road swing beginning Dec. 29 at Connecticut. Leading by eight at halftime, the Huskies (7-4) held the Mustangs scoreless for nearly 7 minutes early in the second half to build a 20-point lead and coast to the decisive victory. Chris Eversley led Cal Poly (4-6) with 23 points, but the Mustangs were unable to pull off the upset on a second Pac-12 school this season after stunning UCLA last month.

Notre Dame selling stadium turf sections for $150
The Fighting Irish will begin installing artificial surface in time for 2014 season - and you can take a piece of the old field home.
SOUTH BEND — Notre Dame is selling rolls of grass from its football stadium to the public as it prepares to install an artificial surface before the upcoming season.
The school announced Monday it is selling 2-foot-by-5-foot sections of grass from Notre Dame Stadium for $149.95, which includes two-day shipping and a certificate of authenticity.
The school says the grass will be removed from the stadium Tuesday and be shipped on Wednesday.
Notre Dame announced last month it was switching to FieldTurf because of problems with the playing surface in recent seasons. The university installed new sod at the stadium four times last year, including twice during the season.
Athletic director Jack Swarbrick says the change could allow the stadium to be used for other events.
What do you think about this? Will you buy a piece of Notre Dame's field grass?

pasta and white beans with garlic-rosemary oil
If you have a thing for chocolate, the world is your oyster. On this very site, 86 of the just over 800 recipes boast a significant chocolate component and entire sections of bookstores will be happy to fill in any cravings I missed. If you have a thing for bacon, the internet would be overjoyed to find you places to put it, zillions, even, although I'd proceed with caution before auditioning a couple. But if you have a thing for something slightly less of a prom king/queen ingredient, say, tiny white beans, well, it can be tough. It's not there are no uses for them, it's just that when you're very much in love, there are never enough ways to be together. And if you're me — someone who sometimes ups and makes a mega-pot of white beans just because you feel like it, presuming you'll find things to do with them later — you sometimes end up scrambling, yanking down nearly every cookbook in your collection but still coming up bereft of uses outside the well-trodden soup-and-salad territory.

Clark County's long-awaited housing recovery sputtered to life in 2012, spurred by new demand and dwindling supplies of available listings.
Homebuilders and homeowners who saw their homes increase in value were the main beneficiaries of the trend. By October, the selling price of area homes had increased by 19.3 percent from the start of the year. The median sales price (half sold for more, half for less) increased to $198,000 for all Clark County homes sold in October 2012. It was up from a median of $166,000 in January 2012, according to the RMLS, a Portland-based listing service.
Home sales steadily improved through the year, helped along by historically low mortgage interest rates and investors taking advantage of bargain-priced distressed properties released by bank owners. The RMLS reported 487 county homes sold in October, up 13 percent from the previous month and a 22 percent increase over 399 homes sold in October 2011.
"Clark County is definitely on the upswing," in terms of a housing comeback, said Terry Wollam, a broker with Re/Max Equity Group in Vancouver.
Homebuilding also picked up in 2012, due, in part, to those low mortgage interest rates. The activity translated to an 84 percent year-over-year increase in the county's October housing starts, as measured by the number of building permits issued for single-family homes. In October alone, builders were issued 61 permits to construct single-family homes in unincorporated Clark County valued at a total of $19.3 million. The figure compared with 33 permits valued at $11.3 million for the same month the previous year.
October 2012 was the ninth consecutive month that showed a year-over-year increase in Clark County housing permits. However, homebuilders remained cautiously optimistic, for the most part refraining from building "on spec," which means constructing a home without a pre-arranged sale in the belief that a buyer will eventually come along.
Some experts say the building industry's caution has led to even shorter supplies of existing houses for sale. It will continue to push sales prices and values higher through this year.
Many of the 2102 home sales included bank-owned foreclosures and short sales, in which delinquent borrowers negotiate with their lenders to sell the home for less than the amount owed.
A shrinking stockpile of short sales has further tightened the supply of county houses for sale. The inventory of county listings shrunk to 4.7 months worth in October, meaning it would take 4.7 months to sell all the homes on the market if no new listings were added. Supplies in October were down from 8.8 months worth of inventory in January 2012, and down from 11.7 months worth of listings at the start of 2011.
The number of Clark County homes in foreclosure fell steadily through September, then bumped up again in October, according to California-based RealtyTrac Inc.
Experts predict the roller-coaster pattern could continue as the area's sluggish job market puts pressure on struggling homeowners. A state law passed in 2011 has also forced mortgage lenders to work with delinquent homeowners. Some suspect the new mediation law is merely slowing down the process, but won't save homeowners from losing their houses.
"Now, they (lenders) have to go through a process" before foreclosure, said Neal McKeever, a mortgage foreclosure counselor with the nonprofit Community Housing Resource Center in Vancouver

College Hockey:NCAA Responds to Maine; No New Information Offered
ORONO, Maine — After a two-week extension, the NCAA Committee on Infractions has issued a response to the University of Maine regarding Maine's appeal of NCAA sanctions.
"The document is a reiteration of, and slight elaboration on, the Committee on Infractions positions, as explained in their July decision," said University of Maine spokesperson John Diamond, who has read the report.
The report offers no new information, and is in no way a resolution to any of the issues.
Maine now has 14 days to respond, after which time a hearing will be scheduled on the issue, most likely in early December.
The report, dated Nov. 13, was sent to a Bangor attorney who has been hired by the NCAA for this purpose. According to Maine officials, this is normal NCAA procedure.
In July, the NCAA issued several penalties against the University of Maine, including a ban from this year's NCAA Tournament, and also a removal of 13 football scholarships. Maine took exception to these two penalties and filled an appeal with the NCAA.

I have two directories, directory1 and directory2. What is the cleanest way with a linux friendly script that would copy the latest files from directory1 onto directory2 including the same sub directory structures.
Actually, it doesn't have to be he latest, just copy all the files and put them into directory2. I cannot delete directory, it would have to take the files from 1 and put into directory 2.
It would be nice if these files were under source control but they aren't. I don't need to worry about deletes.

Given a discrete probability distribution (e.g., ${P_1=0.85,P_2=0.05,P_3=0.05,P_4=0.05}$), I would like to transform it according to some set of "weights" (say, ${w_1=2,w_2=0.5,w_3=1,w_4=0.5}$), which in this case would increase $P_1$ by some amount, decrease $P_2,P_4$ by some amount, and leave $P_3$ the same. Simply multiplying $p_i w_i$ won't do. I was thinking along the lines of casting both as a matrix, but the question would then be, what properties would W need to satisfy such that $\Sigma p_i$ is always 1?

It is not clear to me what exactly the OP wants.
Let us call a $n$-tuple $(x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_n)$ a stochastic vector if $0 \leq x_i \leq 1$ for $1 \leq i \leq n$, and $\sum_{i=1}^n x_i = 1$. Let us call a stochastic vector a proper stochastic vector if each $x_i > 0$. We are given a proper stochastic vector $\mathbf P = (P_1, P_2, \cdots, P_n)$. Each real vector $\mathbf w = (w_1, w_2, \cdots, w_n)$ defines a transformation $$w: \mathbf P \to w(\mathbf P) = (w_1P_1, w_2P_2, \cdots, w_nP_n).$$
Most important, the transformation that the OP seeks has nothing to do with probability theory per se as I mistakenly thought in my initial comment on the question: we are not transforming one random variable into another and deriving the probability mass function of the image from the probability mass function of the source.
You need to rescale by the sum of the weights $W$. It sounds like you want $P_1:P_2:P_3P_4=1.7:0.025:0.05:0.025$, but you are correct the sum must be $1$. So $W=1.7+0.025+0.05+0.025=1.8$ and the new values are $P_1=1.7/1.8, P_2=0.025/1.8$, etc.

Former Massachusetts all-American and Olympic Gold Medalist Danielle Henderson returned to her alma mater in September 2013 as the associate head coach. This is her second stint on the staff after serving four years as an assistant and two as a volunteer assistant from 2000-05.
Henderson returns to UMass after six years as a private pitching instructor and the last three as assistant coach at Stanford (2013) and Ohio State (2011-12).
In 2013, the Cardinal went 39-21 and finished the season ranked 21st in the country, while advancing the finals of the NCAA Lincoln Regional. Kelsey Stevens was named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman team after compiling a 15-7 record, a 2.99 ERA, a team-high 163 strikeouts, seven shutouts and a perfect game against Virginia.
She spent two seasons at Ohio State where the Buckeyes won 45 games and were 31-23 in 2012. Senior transfer Mikayla Endicott amassed an 18-14 record, with three saves, a 2.56 ERA and 189 strikeouts.
Henderson worked six years on the UMass coaching staff under NFCA Hall of Famer Elaine Sortino from 2000-05. UMass went 242-97-1 during that time with five NCAA Regional appearances and five Atlantic 10 titles.

The Girl Who Played With Fire
by Stieg Larsson
The Girl Who Played With Fire Theme of Technology and Modernization
In The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, technology is an integral part in solving the novel's mysteries and exposing the criminals. In The Girl Who Played With Fire, not so much – here technology is simply part of the world the characters are living in. Even though Salander is hacking into the police computers on a daily basis, she and Blomkvist actually find Zala and solve the story's mysteries using good old-fashioned detective work – no fancy technology necessary. Technology, however, is an agent of justice in the novel. Blomkvist and Millennium rely on printing technology to expose injustices in society. Of course, these same technologies can be used for the bad, as we see in the media frenzy that assassinates the characters of Salander and Mimmi.
