FDA approved GlaxoSmithKline's Votrient® for treating patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma who have received prior chemotherapy. Clearance was based on data from the Phase III Palette study. The drug's label states that efficacy of Votrient for treating adipocytic STS or gastrointestinal stromal tumors hasn't been demonstrated.
Votrient was approved in the U.S. for treating adult patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma in 2009. Conditional marketing approval for the equivalent indication was granted in the EU in 2010. Sales of Votrient reached £100 million in 2011, up from £38 million in 2010, when the drug had only just been launched in the EU. In its annual review for 2011, GSK said Votrient had achieved an 18% total prescription share in the U.S. advanced renal cell carcinoma market.
The multikinase angiogenesis inhibitor is separately undergoing Phase III development as maintenance therapy for ovarian cancer and as an adjuvant therapy for renal cell cancer. An eye drop formulation of the active ingredient, pazopanib, is in addition being evaluated in Phase II trials as a treatment for age-related macular degeneration.

We will return to Philadelpha in 2015. In the meantime, visit us in New York in 2014!
"Take the train, it's easy! I took Amtrak from CT last year and it was very easy and convenient. Check here to see if you have an Amtrak station near you. If so, you can take high-speed service train right to Philadelphia's 30th Street Station. From there, take the SEPTA Regional Rail to the Convention Center (disembark at the Market East Station). A regional rail train departs every few minutes."
– Susan D., Norwalk, CT
As a major East Coast hub, Philadelphia is within easy to reach by plane, train, taxi and car.
- Car:
Only just a few minutes from I-95, which runs north and south, 1.5 hours from New York and 2.5 hours from Washington, D.C.
- Philadelphia International Airport:
Twenty-eight airlines (three of which are low-fare carriers) operate nearly 600 daily, nonstop flights from 120 cities, including 60 daily and seasonal flights from 36 international destinations. American Airlines offers a 5% discount.
- Amtrak Rail Transportation:
Amtrak operates trains from 30th Street Station with high-speed service along the Northeast Corridor and points north, east, west and south. For schedules, fares and other information, visit Amtrak.com, or call 1-800-USA-RAIL.
- SEPTA Rail Line:
SEPTA Rail Lines service the entire Philadelphia Region. The Gallery East Station is connected to the Convention Center.
- From Philadelphia International Airport the Regional High Speed Airport Line connects directly to downtown Philadelphia in just 20 minutes. (To get to the Pennsylvania Convention Center, disembark at the Market East Station.)
- From Amtrak's 30th Street Station take the SEPTA Regional Rail to the Convention Center. A regional rail train departs every few minutes. With your Amtrak ticket, the ride to center City is free.
- Other SEPTA Regional Rail Lines can shuttle you throughout the region. Please visit Septa.org or call 215-580-7800.

Released: May 01st, 1994
Running Time: 80
Company: Bi Line Productions
Cast: Belle, Angela Faith, Xristian Ross, Steve Regis, Sharon Kane, Cole Philips
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Gay and Bi
Friends that play together stay together, especially if they're bisexual and they come together every year. The plot and dialogue is very obviously ad-libbed throughout and the quick-witted humor of Sharon Kane and Steve Regis saves the video from being a total waste of time.
Kane takes over the dialogue when she gathers a few of her big-dicked pals and plays strip spin-the-bottle with them. Whomever is behind the camera knows how to get some scintillating close-ups of dicks in a double-oral scene between B.J. Slater and Xristian Ross. However, it must be the same cameraperson who insists on cheesy cuts to tacky furniture and a velvet tiger painting. Regis finds that one of his buddies is in love with him, so he asks muscular Cole Philips what is he going to do about it and suddenly they're nude in the kitchen. The yearly get-together of friends always turns into a reunion of lust and love.
Not to be outdone, the ladies go at it — Busty Belle with Kane — and there's some hardcore female moaning. Angella Faith later does a wildly erotic scene with Kane, too. The biggest drawback is a lack of cohesion and plot, but otherwise all the elements seemed to exist, and this title will do very well in your "Bi" section.

3D Accelerated Virtualized World Tours
By Glenn Faden-Oracle on Jan 17, 2009
The latest VirtualBox 2.1 release includes a new experimental\* high performance XGL driver for Windows guests. This makes it possible to run 3D applications like Google Earth in virtualized environments with excellent performance. I've previously blogged about running VirtualBox guests in labeled zones. But the new 3D capability is so amazing that you have to see it to believe it. Now I've made my first YouTube video, showing the system performance on my Toshiba M9 with 4GB of RAM. An instance of VirtualBox is running in each labeled zone, and an instance of Microsoft Vista is running in each VirtualBox. Each Vista instance is running Google Earth, at high speed using the virtual XGL driver included in the VirtualBox Guest Additions.
I also uploaded a QuickTime version of this video to Sun's MediaCast web site which provides higher resolution than YouTube.
Since this is a security blog, it is important to mention that the network isolation provided by Trusted Extensions extends only as far as the Vista guests. The PUBLIC instance is connected to the public Internet, and the CONFIDENTIAL : INTERNAL USE ONLY instance in connected to Sun's Wide Area Network (SWAN) via the Cisco 3000 VPN. Although the remote VPN endpoint has been labeled CONFIDENTIAL : INTERNAL USE ONLY, neither the Cisco VPN server nor SWAN are label-aware, so the network isolation enforced by Trusted Extensions doesn't extend outside of SWAN. That's why the internal zone instance of Google Earth can connect to the PUBLIC Google servers. The Windows VPN hides this traffic from the Solaris kernel. In a classified environment, this would not be permitted.
For those trying this at home, I pulled out all the stops the get the best performance. I used UNIX domain sockets instead of TCP for X11, and I ran the demo several times to get the images into the cache. Otherwise this ran on the official releases of OpenSolaris 2008.11 and VirtualBox 2.1.

She was the last of the "pop princesses" to debut, and was panned for following in the footsteps of Music/BritneySpears, Music/ChristinaAguilera and Music/JessicaSimpson. The fact that she was still a teenager at this time couldn't have helped, as her lyrics would have had to be toned down even further than the "wholesome GirlNextDoor" image the labels were still trying to keep pinned on these gals. It wasn't until Moore's fourth album, released in '03, that she [[GrowingTheBeard came into her own]] as a musician, and her more recent albums have been well-liked by those who actually bothered to hear them.Moore also transitioned over to acting during this period, headlining TheFilmOfTheBook ''Film/AWalkToRemember'' opposite Shane West. The film flopped, but critics nonetheless had some good things to say about her performance. Gamers will also be pleased to note that she had a brief turn voicing [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Aerith Gainesborough]] in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts I'' (before [[TheOtherDarrin being replaced]] by some combination of Andrea Bowen and Mena Suvari). Her next major film role was the DarkerAndEdgier ''Film/{{Saved}}'', a BlackComedy satire of Christian HighSchool life; it's quite obscure, but people liked what she did with the role. She has had TV roles on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', ''Series/GreysAnatomy'' and ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', opposite then-boyfriend Zach Braff. Most recently, she voiced and sang for the Disney princess Rapunzel in ''Disney/{{Tangled}}'', which predictably did some pretty good things for her career considering how well it was received. She went on to play the titular role in ''WesternAnimation/SheriffCalliesWildWest'', an animated Western for [[Creator/DisneyChannel Disney Junior]].Moore is currently married to [[CountryMusic country]] singer Music/RyanAdams, plans to release a new album in the next year or so, and has even ventured into fashion.This is not by any means a complete and total biography, but since she's been in a lot of productions and gets a lot of hits out here, tropers hoping to add to the WikiMagic can check the "Related" page for other places she's appeared.!!

Cheryl Cole's Dancer Boyfriend Tre Drops Out Of Show After Injury
Cheryl Cole's man Tre Holloway didn't perform the opening show of her A Million Lights Tour in Belfast on Wednesday, after injuring his knee.
Tre was relegated to pouring champagne for the crew and dancers after the show, although he told The Sun that he'll be back dancing again very soon.
Cheryl told the paper exactly what happened:
"He did it on the trampoline. I told him not to bounce on it… He'll learn to listen to me."
Something tells us that's a lesson he's learning already...
Get better soon, Tre! BS

Tags/Metadata and uncompressed formats?
Hi guys, newb question: I have my library of 500 CDs ripped by itunes into AIFF. I use this with my Sonos setup and it works perfectly with Genres, Artists, Albums and Album Art all working. I bought a Cowon J3 for the SQ. I am still trying to figure out which uncompressed format will allow me the same functionality as AIFF. I tried converting a few samples from AIFF to WAV using itunes and, as others have mentioned here, these showed up as unknown artists/unknown albums on my J3. I know that FLAC will work, but I would like the mental satisfaction of using an uncompressed format with my J3/Shure SE535s (which I love!). Any help would be much appreciated!
|[Remove Advertisement]
As far as I know, WAV does not support tagging. I would suggest embracing FLAC......since it is lossless, I see no reason not to use it instead of going fully uncompressed.

i suspected that FLAC was probably the route I was going to have to take. loathe to give up my love affair with uncompressed formats quite so easily though....

2012 Nexus 7 32GB, Asus MeMoPad 8 16+64GB, LG Optimus G Pro, Nokia Lumia 900 and Lumia 520
Let's talk about facts here. What's been stated about WAV files is correct, namely that the format does NOT support tags (e.g. no ID3 tags, as are supported by MP3 format).
So it's true, if you're looking for a true "lossless" format that DOES support tags, definitely you should re-create your music files from your 500 original CDs into FLAC format. This format is supported by FLAC tags, which the J3 understands.
Alternatively, you could have converted to another true "lossless" format APE, which also has its own tag format: APE tags. However at the moment the J3 supports playing APE music files but strangely does not support the APE tag! I believe this will be fixed in the next J3 firmware release promised by Cowon to be coming out within 1 week (if we can believe the change list included with another international version of the firmware that's already been released). So when that happens, then APE format would be another "lossless" option for you.
If you can convert directly (and automatically, in mass) from your existing lossless AIFF to lossless FLAC and also migrate the tags automatically, this is the approach I would suggest you take. Otherwise, if you can't do that you need to either 2-step (from AIFF to WAV and then WAV to FLAC, manually adding FLAC tag data), or re-create FLAC directly (or from intermediate ripped WAV) from your original CDs.
As far as FLAC is concerned, understanding the different compression levels (0-8) was very well explained by a poster on another forum, that I share below:
FLAC is flac. The compression setting is not supposed to have any impact on replay. FLAC is designed to be asymetric. Easy to decompress, which you do every time you play a tune, and not so easy to compress which is something that you do only once, and usually on a real computer.
What the compression setting does is tell the compressor how hard to try to compress the file. Using a higher setting can make the files a little bit smaller, but takes lots longer. If you are sitting in front of the computer watching the compression, you may care. If you queue up the compression and go on to other things, or go to sleep, work, etc. then you might as well use the highest level.
The increased compression is not at all proportional to the time required. You can spend two or three times as long trying to compress for only 10% or so of decreased file size.
In other words, FLAC is lossless, period. So FLAC is FLAC, and compression level is irrelevant as far as playback audio quality is concerned.
The only difference from "compression level" is the physical size of the result and the time to produce it. Otherwise, audio playback quality is the same across the board... because this is a LOSSLESS encoding method.
Personally, for myself using "FLAC Frontend" to create my FLAC files from intermediate WAV (temporarily ripped to hard drive from my original CDs), I use compression level 6 which is the default of "FLAC Frontend".
===>> No audio bits from the original WAV file are lost. Playback is audibly identical to the original WAV.
(if someone feels that what I've said is incorrect, please chime in and correct me. Thanks.)
Thanks Marvin, DSperber! I can convert directly from AIFF to FLAC, and i keep all tags. the only thing i lose is Album Art. I guess that is the route I will take.
First, I admit I know essentially zero about AIFF (and its tags), and know even less about iTunes. I use standard Windows tools and programs and 3rd-party players/utilities to work with my music collection and associated album art. I create my own MP3 and FLAC files from my own CD collection, I scan my own album art from the CD covers, and I use programs that do as much as possible automatically (per my customization and settings) so that I don't have to be bothered doing anything (or much) manually.
Next, FLAC tags (for FLAC files) DO support imbedded album art, just like ID3 tags (for MP3 files) support imbedded album art. You don't have to lose anything if you want to imbed that album art inside of each music file's FLAC tag.
Personally, I don't use that approach with either MP3 or FLAC, as I use the much more simple and efficient "cover.jpg" approach (putting NO album art inside of individual FLAC/MP3 files but rather putting one single "cover.jpg" image file in the album folder which hosts all of the music files for that album... be they FLAC or MP3 or whatever). The J3 supports both methods, either imbedded album art within each file or "cover.jpg" in the album folder, or a mixture. So you have a choice.
If you want to preserve art, and you currently have imbedded art in your AIFF files, just use some program to "extract" that art and save it somewhere. Presumably if you got that art added to your AIFF tag, you should also be able to do the reverse and extract it from the AIFF and put it somewhere as an ordinary JPG.
Then after you convert AIFF to FLAC you can use MP3TAG to "add cover" to the FLAC tag for that FLAC file, pointing to the extracted album art JPG from your AIFF that you saved earlier.
Or, much more conveniently and simply, just create a single folder in which all of the FLAC files for that single album will reside, and copy the extracted album art JPG (from your AIFF) and put it into that same album folder as well... naming it "cover.jpg". You don't have to imbed it anywhere in any individual FLAC file, and the J3 will still display it anytime you play any of those FLAC files from that particular album's folder!
So you can go either way, depending on your desire. Most importantly you need to be able to "extract" your existing album art image from the AIFF file and thus make it available either to (a) MP3TAG for "add cover" to imbed it inside of the FLAC tag, or (b) copy to the album folder which holds the music files for that album, including these new FLAC files, and call the album art file "cover.jpg".
No need to lose album art in this project of yours, just like there's no need to lose tag data. Yes, it seems kind of a manual process (unless you can find a program that will convert your AIFF tag + imbedded album art to FLAC tag + imbedded album art), but this is the nature of your project.
Dsperber, i manually ripped each of my CDs, found the album art on Amazon or other sites and manually inserted them. the prospect of doing so again underwhelms me somewhat. I guess I will convert to FLAC, but happily live without the album art! Thanks again.
Yes!! I used MediaMonkey and it batch converts my AIFF files to FLAC (zero compression) AND keeps the album art! btw, MediaMonkey reads AIFF files as m4a files, which the Cowon J3 WILL play. Album art does not show up when you drag and drop an m4a folder to the Cowon, but i am working on that.

India's yoga guru, Baba Ramdev, is on a hunger strike starting yesterday, along with 100,000 of his followers including some in Houston, Texas (click on the prior link to catch the Houston Chronicle's Kate Shellnut comparing Ramdev's popularity to that of Oprah or Joel Osteen!). He'll fast to the death, Ramdev says, if he has to. His demands?
Mr Ramdev has called for the death penalty for corrupt officials, the abolition of the 500 rupee ($10) and 1000 rupee notes, the banning of Western medicines, and the complete dismantling of the systems of government, taxation, education and justice inherited from Britain.
The practice of hunger striking, often on the doorstep of the offender (or in Ramdev's case, at festival grounds in New Dehli), goes back to 400 to 750 BC and is mentioned in the Ramayana. However ancient the practice — and odd the demands — Ramdev's followers will live more than two months without food. That should give the government enough time to negotiate terms.
Update: It seems there's now some confusion as to whether Ramdev reached terms with the Indian government or not. The strike was raided by police today, the guru swears he will carry on, despite his removal from the grounds in New Dehli.

BRUNSWICK — City Manager Bob Zienkowski plans to resign, effective May 7, and take up a new job as township manager in Radnor Township, Pa.
He presented a letter Monday night to City Council formally announcing his departure.
"It's probably one of the toughest decisions I've had to make in my career," Zienkowski, who also serves as safety director, said Tuesday. "Since day one, myself and my family were made to think that (Brunswick) is our home."

Police Chief Carl DeForest will serve as acting city manager and safety director, effective May 8. Council already has started the search for Zienkowski's replacement, who they hope can start working July 1.
At-large Councilman Pat McNamara said the 49-year-old Zienkowski told Council about his decision in a closed-door session last week, so members had a timeline for finding Zienkowski's replacement ready for Monday's meeting.
"I want to give an idea to the public that Council knows what they're going to do next," McNamara said.
The city began advertising the position on its Web site Tuesday. Council will accept applications for the job through
5 p.m. March 31.
"Obviously, the main challenge is finding somebody who's better than Bob — if that person exists," McNamara said.
Council set up a screening committee for the job search at Monday's Committee-of-the-Whole meeting. It will consist of
McNamara, Ward 3 Councilman Joe Delsanter, At-large Councilwoman Pat Hanek, DeForest, Administrative Services Coordinator Julie Murawski, Finance Director Bill White and Cable Coordinator Jeff Neidert. The group met Tuesday and created a list of 14 questions to ask each of the candidates.
Council will meet in a closed-door session April 1 to narrow applicants down to eight and interview them on April 10. At the end of April, the final four candidates will meet with department heads, community leaders and Council members, then attend a community "meet-and-greet."
The timeline predicts Council will make a formal offer to a candidate by May 3.
"They've got quite a good city to work with, whoever comes on board," said Delsanter, adding much of it can be attributed to Zienkowski.
Zienkowski said he will be available as "a resource to (Council) and the next city manager for however long is necessary."
In early 2003, Zienkowski replaced City Manager Robert Trimble, who retired in 2002. Zienkowski previously was director of administrative services and chief administrative officer to the mayor in Maple Heights.
Once appointed as city manager, he moved to Brunswick with his wife, Susan, and daughters, Jessica and Erica.
Zienkowski, whose 2010 salary would be almost $101,000, said he's accomplished a lot in his seven years with the city. He said in that time there's been about $250 million in new development in the city, with more in the works. He noted the city also addressed many of its stormwater management problems that had caused flooding throughout the city.
"It's a good time now" to move on, Zienkowski said. "We've got good leadership here on Council, the mayor, the administration here to really keep moving the city forward."
Zienkowski said the position in Radnor was "one of those opportunities that just happened to come about. I wrestled with it for months," he said. He said Radnor is a suburb outside Philadelphia about the same size as Brunswick.
"They've had challenges like every community in the U.S," he said.
He will replace Radnor's former city manager, who was fired.
"We're sorry you're losing (Zienkowski), but we're delighted to have him," said Donald Curley, one Radnor's seven township commissioners.
He said the board chose Zienkowski mainly because of his integrity.
Radnor Commissioner John C. Nagle said Zienkowski interviewed with the board a couple of times and met a township citizens' group.
"Bob was incredibly forthcoming. We needed someone like him and there he was," Nagle said.
Zienkowski will make $182,000 a year in Radnor.

|24 schools compete in Biz Quiz
Michigan State University took home first prize in the final round of the 2008 Biz Quiz competition on Sunday, Nov. 16 in WOSU's studios at COSI. University of Wisconsin at Madison was the second place winner and University of Minnesota finished in third place.
Nationwide's Financial Leadership Rotation Program and Fisher hosted teams of undergraduate students from 24 top-ranked business schools from all over the nation. The students battled in a fast-paced competition testing their knowledge of six-weeks of news coverage from The Wall Street Journal, a co-sponsor of the event.
The Fisher team of Pinank Patel, Tyler Dodds and Gopika Ranganathan made it to the semi-final rounds. Their team was led by advisor Nancy Lahmers. The competition included individual rounds as well as team competition. Patel and Dodds were among eight students who won awards in the individual competition.
Krishnan Anantharaman, managing editor of The Wall Street Journal classroom edition served as quiz master for the final round. Students from the Undergraduate Business Council and MBA program volunteered for the event. Twenty-four students were hosts to the schools and 10 students served as event coordinators. MBA students developed more than 600 questions for the event."I want to extend a special thanks to the energetic and motivated Fisher student volunteers and hosts for their time and commitment," said Shashi Matta, Fisher marketing professor and lead organizer of Biz Quiz.
Matta was joined by Dean Steve Mangum, Larry Hilsheimer, chief financial officer of Nationwide and Cathy Ellwood, senior director of the Nationwide Financial Leadership Rotation Program officiated the awards ceremony.
Fisher faculty Steven Dickstein, Dan Oglevee, Andrea Prudhomme, Curt Haugtvedt and Pat West served as officials and members of the Nationwide Financial Leadership Rotation program were quiz moderators. For more photographs and event highlights, visit the Biz Quiz Web site.

"I am constantly surprised by the number of people who volunteer to help Dogs for the Deaf and the depth of their commitment," says Vaughn Maurice, General Manager of the Oregon-based non-profit.
The fact that Dogs for the Deaf strikes a chord with compassionate people is actually not that surprising when you consider that the charity adopts unwanted dogs of all breeds and sizes from high-kill shelters, trains them to become service animals and then delivers the dogs – free of charge – to assist in the lives of people with disabilities.
But it was not always straightforward for this 35-year-old organization to get the support they need. Dogs for the Deaf runs their operation on a 63-acre facility in Central Point, Oregon (population less than 20,000), and they don't receive a dollar of government support.
Maurice explains, "In the past, it was hard for us to get the word out about our work. Most charity organizations are based in Washington, DC, or other large metropolitan areas. However, being in rural Oregon is essential for us to have the space necessary for our training program and to be able to run at a cost that allows us to spend the funds we raise very efficiently."
Now, by harnessing social media and Skype, the rural non-profit is able to connect with donors around the world. They have been able to expand their work into nearly all fifty states, Puerto Rico and Canada.
While social media has been a good way for Dogs for the Deaf to network new donors, Skype has allowed them to build and maintain relationships with donors and volunteers in a way that was once impossible due to their far-flung location.
And Maurice has come up with some Skype-specific fundraisers too. For example, everyone who donated at least $35.35 to Dogs for the Deaf through the end of September was eligible to win a 10-minute Skype call with theater, TV, film actress Kristin Chenoweth.
"I love being part of Dogs for the Deaf," Emmy and Tony Award winner Chenoweth says. "I also love that I get the chance to help them promote their important work."
When Maurice had the idea of the Skype fundraiser, Chenoweth jumped at the chance. She says, "For me, doing a fundraiser event over Skype is an easy way to really interact with fans and those who support Dogs for the Deaf. And because it's a video call, it's also a safe way for me to meet with new people."
Maurice says, "We are really excited that Kristin is doing the Skype fundraiser and we're already planning to do more fundraisers like this with other celebrities. But it also shows how technology is helping to decentralize non-profits and allow Dogs for the Deaf to flourish in the location that is ideal for our own specific mission. Can you imagine training dogs in DC?"

ABOUT ARIZONA: Winners of eight of their last nine games, the Wildcats moved to 9-2 on the season with a runner-up finish at the San Juan Shootout in Puerto Rico last week. The Cats lost a close one (69-66) to ninth-ranked Auburn on Dec. 19, then recovered to pummel host team Puerto Rico-Mayaguez (105-41) and Nebraska (79-68). The Wildcats are not currently ranked, but they are receiving multiple votes in both the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches polls. Freshman forward Veranda James, who missed the three games in Puerto Rico, still holds the team's top averages in both scoring (16.2 ppg) and rebounding (9.7). Junior forward Elizabeth Pickney is second in both, averaging 15.2 ppg and 6.3 rpg. Senior guard Reshea Bristol follows at 13.5 ppg and has a team-best 6.4 assists per game average. Junior guard Tysell Bozeman is registering 11.0 ppg and 5.2 rpg, followed by sophomore wing Krista Warren with 10.5 ppg and 5.5 rpg. Junior center LaKeisha Taylor is coming off a career weekend and has boosted her averages to 8.6 points and 6.0 rebounds per game. Through games of Dec. 21, Arizona led the Pac-10 in scoring, scoring margin, rebounding, rebounding margin, assists and turnover margin. Individually, Reshea Bristol was leading the conference in assists, was third in steals and third in three-pointers made per game. LaKeisha Taylor was second in field goal percentage
ABOUT KANSAS: The Jayhawks are 6-3 overall after snapping a two-game losing skid with a record-setting 116-34 pounding of Mississippi Valley State at home on Dec. 21. Kansas is not ranked but is receiving votes in the Coaches Poll. With 17.4 points and 8.7 rebounds per game, senior forward Jaclyn Johnson is leading Kansas in both categories. Fellow senior Brooke Reves is the only other Jayhawk averaging in double digits in scoring, standin second in both categories with averages of 14.4 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. Kansas has five other players posting averages of 6.0 ppg or better. Kansas head coach Marian Washington (West Chester State, 1970) holds a 529-260 mark in 28 years at the helm of the Jayhawk program.
THE SERIES vs. KANSAS: The Jayhawks have the narrow 2-1 edge in the series with Arizona, including a win over the Wildcats last season in Lawrence. In that game, Arizona saw its school-record-tying 9-0 start come to an end on Dec. 21, 1999, with a narrow 71-68 loss to then-23rd-ranked Kansas. The Cats came out firing in the first half, running out to a 13-point (19-6) lead by the 11:53 mark. Kansas pushed back to within five, but then the UA exploded on a 12-2 run that spread the lead to 16 (36-20). Then Kansas finished the half on a 6-0 run that set up its momentum for the second period. Arizona scored the first bucket of the second half but then saw its lead dwindle to nothing as the Jayhawks went on a 21-9 spurt to tie up the game at 47-all at the 11;53 mark. Kansas gained its first lead of the night with just under seven minutes remaining and used a 14-4 run to put the Cats away for good. Reshea Bristol tallied 15 points and four rebounds off the bench, and Elizabeth Pickney had six points and three rebounds. The Cats committed 27 turnovers in the game, including 17 costly miscues in the second half alone.
ARIZONA'S LAST TIME OUT: Forced to come from as many as 10 points behind, Arizona defeated Nebraska, 79-68, on Dec. 21 to finish as the runner-up at the San Juan Shootout in Puerto Rico. The two teams traded buckets early on, until Nebraska used a seven-point run to gain the 13-7 advantage. Arizona scrapped back to within one (25-24) at the 5:43 mark, then traded baskets with Nebraska until the Huskers ended the period with an 11-5 spurt over the final four minutes. NU took the 37-32 edge into the break. Nebraska opened the second half with a 14-9 run, pushing its lead out to its largest of the game at 10 points (51-41) with just over 13 minutes remaining in the contest. That's when Arizona turned its pressure up a notch and went on a 13-2 run to take the one-point (54-53) lead at the 8:41 mark. The Huskers then registered five unanswered points to push back out to a 58-54 lead. Arizona answered that mini-spurt by out-scoring the Huskers 25-10 over the remainder of the game. Elizabeth Pickney finished with five rebounds and 19 points, including a 9-of-12 performance from the charity stripe. Fueled by 10-of-14 shooting from the line, Reshea Bristol finished with 19 points and six rebounds. Candice Allen added 13 points, while LaKeisha Taylor contributed 10 points and pulled down a game-high nine rebounds. Taylor and Bristol were named to the All-Tournament Team.
LOOKING AHEAD: The Wildcats hit the road again next weekend to tip off Pac-10 play in the Bay Area. Arizona plays at California on Thursday, Jan. 4, then the Cats are at Stanford on Saturday, Jan. 6. Game time both days is 7:30 p.m. PST. The Stanford contest will be broadcast locally in the Bay Area on Bay TV. After their Bay Area trip, the Cats return home to face the Washington schools on Jan. 11 and 13.
BY THE NUMBERS: Seven of Arizona's wins this year have been by a total of 10 points or more... Four of those wins have been by spreads of 30 points or more... The Cats have hit four or more 3-pointers in nine games... Arizona has had 15 or more assists in seven games... The Cats have had 10 or more steals in six games... Arizona has forced its opponent into 20 or more turnovers in seven contests.
HEAD COACH JOAN BONVICINI: In her 10th year at the helm of the Arizona women's basketball program, head coach Joan Bonvicini has collected an unparalleled list of accomplishments, both for the university and for her career. Bonvicini has posted a 168-107 (.611) mark in 10 seasons at Arizona and has more wins at the UA than all six of the previous Wildcat coaches combined. In 22 years as a collegiate head coach, Bonvicini has a 493-178 (.735) career record. She also has a 23-14 mark in NCAA tournament play and has never lost a first-round game in 14 appearances. Prior to taking over at the UA, Bonvicini led Long Beach State to 10 consecutive NCAA appearances, including two trips to the Final Four. She registered a 325-71 mark in 12 seasons with the 49ers.
COUNTDOWN TO 500: Joan Bonvicini is only seven wins away from reaching the 500-victory mark for her career.
THE REST OF THE STAFF: Awarded the title of associate head coach two years ago, Denise Dove Ianello (Northern Illinois, 1991) is in her ninth year at the UA, functioning as both the team's recruiting coordinator and a perimeter coach. Third-year assistant coach Karen Caires (Cal State Northridge, 1990) works with the perimeter players, assists with scouting and recruiting and directs the Joan Bonvicini Hoop Camp. In his second year at the UA, assistant coach Curtis Loyd (Southern Utah, 1994) is involved with scouting and with coaching the post players.
DID YOU KNOW: Since Joan Bonvicini took over the Arizona program in 1991, the Wildcats have gone 85-77 against Pac-10 teams, although they have a 51-21 league mark over the last four seasons combined.
ARIZONA'S PRACTICE SCHEDULE: Here is the upcoming practice schedule for the Wildcats...
Sat. Dec. 23-Mon., Dec. 25 - OFF Tues. Dec. 26 7-9:30 p.m. McKale Wed. Dec. 27 4:30-7 p.m. (lifting after) McKale Thurs. Dec. 28 3-5:30 p.m. Bear Down Fri. Dec. 29 vs. Kansas, 6:30 p.m. Sat.

WHAT A GAME!: During the Dec. 20 contest against UPR-Mayaguez at the San Juan Shootout, Arizona set a new school record for margin of victory by defeating the Bulldogs, 105-41, a margin of 63 points. That surpassed the previous record if 56 points (99-43) set only 12 days earlier against Bowling Green on Dec. 8. Arizona's 105 points in that contest is its highest offensive output since scoring 105 points against Sacramento State at home on Dec. 17, 1994. The 41 points scored by the Bulldogs is the best defensive effort since the Cats allowed Cal Poly-SLO to score only 39 on Jan. 9, 1996, in Tucson. The Cats also out-rebounded the Bulldogs by 24 (46-22), the best rebounding margin since the UA out-rebounded Sacramento State by 31 (59-28) during that Dec. 17, 1994 game.
BREAKING IN: Against UNLV on Dec. 6, Wildcat senior guard Reshea Bristol broke into the UA's all-time top 20 scoring list. She currently stands in 16th place with 911 points, needing just 14 points to move into the No. 15 spot. Bristol is only 89 points away from becoming the ninth Wildcat to reach the 1,000-point mark in career scoring. Junior forward Elizabeth Pickney is the most recent addition to the UA's top 20 scoring list, joining that elite group during the Nebraska game on Dec. 21. With 912 career points, she has bumped former teammate Angela Lackey out of the No. 20 spot and needs only 57 points to move up into the No. 19 position.
TOUGH EARLY GAMES: The season is still young, but the Wildcats have already played six teams which competed in last year's NCAA tournament. Still ahead on the non-conference slate is one more NCAA tourney team -- Kansas. Both of Arizona's losses this year have come at the hands of top-10 teams. The Cats lost to No. 5 Notre Dame (95-65) on Nov. 20, then fell to No. 9 Auburn (69-66) on Dec. 19.
ARIZONA IN THE RANKINGS: Although the Wildcats are not currently nationally ranked, they did receive votes for ranking in both of the most recent polls. In the Dec. 18 AP poll, the Cats earned 26 votes, their highest vote total of the season so far. They picked up 42 votes in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll.
CRASHING THE BOARDS: The Wildcats are out-rebounding their opponents by an average of 7.4 boards per game this year. The best rebounding margin of the season so far was against UPR-Mayaguez on Dec. 20, when the Cats out-rebounded the Bulldogs by 24. Individually, freshman Veranda James grabbed a team season-high 16 boards against Rice on Nov. 28. That's the highest individual single-game rebound total for any player since then-freshman Adia Barnes pulled down 18 against Arizona State on Jan. 7, 1995.
GETTING TO THE LINE: Arizona is averaging 20.2 points per game from the free throw line so far this season. The Cats have made it to the free throw line 324 times over 11 games, for an average of 29.5 attempts per contest. The Wildcats have connected on 222 of those attempts (68.5 percent).
THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME: The Wildcats have won 11 of their last 12 home games and are 29-6 on their home court over the last three seasons combined. During Joan Bonvicini's 10 seasons at Arizona, the Wildcats have posted a 98-41 mark in McKale Center. Arizona has a record of 164-149 on its home court since the 1976-77 season.
STRONG SCHEDULE: Several of Arizona's 2001 opponents were listed in last week's national rankings. In the Dec. 18 Associated Press Top 25, Notre Dame was No. 3, Auburn was No. 9, Stanford was No. 14 and Oregon was No. 23. Oregon State and USC were among teams receiving votes for ranking. In the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll, Notre Dame was No. 3, Auburn was No. 12, Stanford was No. 19 and Oregon was No. 21. Kansas, Oregon State and USC were among the teams receiving votes.
CHECKING THE RECORD BOOK: Senior guard Reshea Bristol is fourth on the Arizona career list in free throws made (266), fourth in steals (198), fourth in free throws attempted (374), sixth in three-pointers made (61), sixth in three-pointers attempted (193) and 10th in assists (299). She is in the No. 16 spot on the UA's all-time scoring list, with 911 career points, and needs 14 points to move into the No. 15 spot. Junior forward Elizabeth Pickney is fourth on the career list in blocked shots (77), fifth in free throws made (245), seventh in scoring average (11.3 ppg) and eighth in free throws attempted (326). She just joined the UA all-time top-20 scoring list, currently holding down the No. 20 spot with 812 career points. She needs 57 points to move to No. 19.
WE CAN HANDLE THE CLOSE ONES...: Under head coach Joan Bonvicini, the Cats have gone 26-20 in games settled by five points or less, including a 9-4 mark in games settled by one or two points.
...BUT WE REALLY PREFER THE BLOWOUTS: Over the last 10 seasons, Bonvicini's Arizona teams have won 54 games by spreads of 20 points or more.
80 IS THE MAGIC NUMBER: It seems that the 80-point mark almost always means adding another to the "win" column for the Wildcats. In the 29-year history of UA women's basketball, the Cats have posted a 127-16 record when scoring 80 points or more in a game. Under Bonvicini, the Wildcats have gone 87-9 when topping that 80-point plateau.
KEYS TO THE WIN: This season, Arizona is... 7-2 when out-rebounding its opponent... 8-0 when shooting better than its opponent from the floor... 8-1 when shooting 40% or better from the field... 8-1 when four or more players reach double digits in scoring... 7-0 when leading at halftime... 7-1 when forcing more turnover than it commits... 9-0 when scoring 70 points or more... 8-1 when opponents score 71 points or less.
ON LOCATION: Arizona has a 6-0 mark at home this year, is 2-1 on the road and is 1-1 in neutral games. The Wildcats were 12-3 at home last season, 9-4 in road games and 4-0 in neutral contests.
CAT SCRATCHES: The Arizona women's basketball program has a 327-397 (.452) all-time record, however it is 131-61 (.682) from 1994 to present... Joan Bonvicini has a 175-91 career record against Pac-10 teams.
WILDCATS ON TELEVISION: The Cats are currently scheduled to make television appearances for five different games...
Fri., Dec. 29 Kansas Fox Sports Net 6:30 p.m.
Sat., Jan. 6 at Stanford Bay TV 7:30 p.m. PST
Sat., Feb. 10 at Washington St. Fox Sports Net 1 p.m. PST
Sun., Feb. 18 USC Fox Sports Net 2 p.m.
Thurs., Mar. 1 at Oregon State Fox Sports Northwest (taped delay)
The Mar. 3 (at Oregon) and Mar. 10 (California) contests have been selected as potential TV games. The television status of each contest will be determined approximately 12 days before the specified dates.
OFFENSIVE EXPLOSION: For the first time in the program's history, the Wildcats had four consecutive games of 90 points or more. Arizona defeated UNLV (91-74) on Dec. 6, Bowling Green (99-43) on Dec. 8, Fresno State (92-55) on Dec. 10 and Louisville (90-60) on Dec. 17 to put together the first-ever string of four straight games with offensive outputs of 90+ points.
PICKNEY NAMED PAC-10 PLAYER OF THE WEEK (Dec. 11): Junior forward Elizabeth Pickney was named Pac-10 Player of the Week for Dec. 4-11. She averaged 20.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game while leading the Wildcats to a 3-0 record for the week. In the three home victories, she shot a combined .489 from the floor (23-for-47), .824 from the line (14-for-17) and hit her first career three-pointer. This is Pickney's second career Pac-10 Player of the Week honor and Arizona's 20th Player of the Week honor all-time.
DISHING IT OUT: Against UNLV on Dec. 6, senior guard Reshea Bristol racked up a career-high 14 assists. That was the highest single-game assists total for any individual since former Wildcat Brenda Pantoja -- who was on UNLV's bench for that Dec. 6 game as an assistant coach -- collected 14 against Washington State at home on Feb. 29, 1996.
GOOD BEGINNINGS: With Joan Bonvicini at the program's helm, the Wildcats have won six straight season openers and eight in the 10 years she has been at the UA.
BRASE TO REDSHIRT: Wildcat junior guard Julie Brase will redshirt for the 2000-2001 season after having wrist surgery before the start of the season. Brase played in all 32 games last year, starting 19, and averaged 6.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.
WHAT THE COACHES THINK: Here is the predicted order of finish for the Pac-10 this season, according to the league's coaches... 1. Stanford, 2. Oregon, 3. USC, 4. ARIZONA, 5. Arizona State, t6. UCLA, t6. Washington, 8. Oregon State, 9. California, 10. Washington State.
The Pac-10 women's basketball media members picked Arizona to finish fourth, as well.
BUT WE CAN DO BETTER: In each of the previous three years, Arizona has equalled or bettered the Pac-10 coaches' pick for its finish... 2000 - picked fourth, finished tied for second; 1999 - picked fifth, finished fourth; 1998 - picked second, finished tied for second.
CATS INK EARLY SIGNEES: The Arizona women's basketball program signed four players on the first day of the early signing period last week. Forwards Danielle Adefeso (Santa Monica, CA/St. Monica HS) and Shawntinice Polk (Hanford, CA/Hanford HS) and guards Robin Roberson (Berkeley, CA/Berkeley HS) and Dee Dee Wheeler (Chicago, IL/Dunbar HS) will all join the Wildcats for the 2001-02 season.
PAC-10 APPROVES CONFERENCE TOURNAMENTS: The Pacific-10 Conference Chief Executive Officers have approved the establishment of men's and women's post-season basketball tournaments. The men's tournament will be an eight-team event to be staged at Staples Center in Los Angeles. The women's tournament will be a 10-team event hosted on campus by one of the Pac-10 members. Both tournaments will begin in March 2002. In each case, the winner of the Tournament will earn the Conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Championship. The Conference previously conducted a men's tournament following the 1987 through 1990 seasons. It has never sponsored a similar event for women.
OREGON TO HOST FIRST TOURNAMENT: Oregon has been selected as the first school to host the Pac-10 women's basketball tournament. The historical event will take place in March 2002 on the UO campus.
1999-2000 IN REVIEW: After returning 10 letterwinners and all five starters from the previous year's squad, the 1999-2000 Wildcats utilized their depth and experience to roll to a 25-7 overall mark, setting a new school record for most wins in a season. The Cats garnered a 13-5 record in Pac-10 play, finishing in a tie for second with Stanford. Arizona opened the season with a nine-game win streak and went on to register an 11-1 mark in non-conference action. By winning their first Pac-10 game to improve to 12-1, the Cats tied the school record for the best start in the history of the program. Pac-10 play brought about several historical moments as well. With wins at Washington State and Washington during the second weekend of January, the Cats earned their first-ever road sweep of the Washington schools. They repeated the feat during the final weekend of the regular season, recording their first-ever road sweep of Stanford and California. The Wildcats earned their fourth consecutive NCAA tournament berth, ending up as the No. 8 seed in the Mideast Region. Arizona travelled to Knoxville, Tenn., where it downed No. 9 seed Kent, 73-61, in the first round of the tournament. The Cats faced No. 1 seed and eventual national runner-up Tennessee in the second round and put up a valiant fight, only to fall, 75-60. The UA set or tied 23 school records during the season, including most wins in a season (25), highest winning percentage (.781), most three-point field goals made in a season (162) and most points in a season (2,484). The Wildcats were ranked 21st in the final Associated Press Poll of the year and were 20th in the last USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll. Arizona finished the year as the Pac-10 leader in scoring (77.6 ppg), scoring margin (+9.9 ppg) and assists (17.94 apg). The Cats were second in three-point field goal percentage (.379), rebounding margin (+4.3 rpg), steals (10.31 spg), assist-to-turnover ratio (0.89) and 3-point field goals made (5.06 per game).
ON THE INDIVIDUAL FRONT: With 12.7 points per game, forward Angela Lackey finished as Arizona's leading scorer for the second straight year. She was second in rebounding, at 5.3 per game. Fellow forward Tatum Brown was second in scoring, with 12.4 points per game, and was the team's top rebounder, with 7.7 boards per contest. Forward Elizabeth Pickney was third in both categories, averaging 9.8 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. Guards Lisa Griffith (8.9 ppg), Reshea Bristol (8.6 ppg), Felecity Willis (7.8 ppg) and Julie Brase (6.1 ppg) followed on the scoring chart. Willis was the team's assists leader, at 5.3 per game, while Griffith had the highest steals average, at 2.1 per game. Tatum Brown ended the season as the Pac-10 leader in field goal percentage (.590) and was third in rebounding (7.7 rpg). Felecity Willis was third in the league in assists (5.28 apg), and Lisa Griffith was fourth in three-point field goal percentage (.420).

Preschoolers with iPads work with a casual speed that can mystify those whose "Generation" begins with B and sometimes even X or Y.
But it's not really a mystery. Because they are free of the logic that older computer-users employ, they rely on another, more applicable logic. At the University of California Berkeley and the University of Edinburgh, a study showed that tots intuitively use Bayesian logic to arrive at conclusions about gadgets.
UC Berkeley developmental psychologist Alison Gopnik was quoted on Science Daily: "As far as we know, this is the first study examining whether children can learn abstract cause and effect relationships, and comparing them to adults." She is the senior editor of a paper published in Cognition and of a Wall Street Journal article about it.
Kids of 4 and 5 were compared to college students to see if they could figure out how a gadget worked. It lit up and played music when there was a successful attempt to place various clay objects on it.
The college students tended to be more rules-oriented around individual block placement even when they saw that approach wasn't working.
But the preschoolers adapted their attempts to changing conditions, finding combinations of blocks that worked based on that new information. Forming hypotheses based on changing information is the basis of Bayesian logic.

CUYAHOGA FALLS — In the aftermath of personal tragedy, the Ehrbar family of Granger Township has united with friends and supporters to remember two teenagers who, through their deaths, gave life to others.
Highland Local School District students Andrew, 13, and Erin Ehrbar, 16, succumbed to injuries sustained in a traffic accident. At about 7:15 a.m. April 28, just before the start of the school day, Erin pulled out of her driveway on Wilbur Road when a 1973 Ford Mustang crashed into the driver's side of her 2002 Pontiac Sunfire.
Erin died at the scene, and Andrew, who was riding in the passenger seat, was taken to Cleveland Metro-Health Medical Center, where he died the following day.
During those terrible hours immediately following the accident, their mother, Laura Ehrbar DePiero, made the decision to donate her children's organs.
DePiero said she had discussed organ donation with her daughter, and Erin became an official donor by listing it on her driver's license. The act of organ donation, she said, represented her children's natures to give back.
"I almost felt a little selfish. … It gave us another 24 hours to be with Andrew.… You have the opportunity to give back to this world, and they aren't going to have that chance anymore and I (needed) to make this decision for them."
Nonetheless, the process was difficult.
"You have to stay out of your head … I had to stay with my heart," she added, saying she could not let herself think about the surgery or procedure involved.
Erin donated tissue and corneas, and Andrew gave his heart, kidneys, pancreas and liver, saving three lives.
"We find it pretty amazing," DePiero said. Since then, their contribution has created a ripple effect, she said.
The Ehrbar family is leading a team, the Drewin Crew— a combination of Andrew's and Erin's names — in the annual LifeBanc Gift of Life Walk and Run at Blossom Music Center today.
LifeBanc is a nonprofit "organ and tissue recovery organization for Northeast Ohio" that educates the public about organ donation.
"We have over 200 people on our team alone. It's a lot of family kids from Highland High School and Highland Middle School," DePiero said.
"This is something we want to do to keep Andrew and Erin's legacy alive," she said. The Drewin Crew has raised more than $10,000 for LifeBanc, and may raise more by the end of the walk today.
Friday would have been Andrew's 14th birthday, she said, which made participating in today's event that much more meaningful.
Hadie Bartholomew, media and community affairs coordinator for LifeBanc, reaffirmed DePiero's view that the need for organ donors is great. More than 1,800 in Northeast Ohio alone need an organ transplant, and more than 3,000 people in Ohio and more than 108,000 nationwide require transplants, she said.
Medina Township resident Holly Mulkerin knows first-hand how organ donations change lives. Eighteen months ago, she became a heart recipient after spending 2½ years on a waiting list.
"It is the most amazing gift anyone could give to another person," Mulkerin said, adding she was "days away from dying" when she received an 18-year-old girl's heart.
Now she and Brunswick resident Frank Bianchi are leading the Rowdy Heart Recipients team during the LifeBanc Walk and Run. Six heart recipients will be walking on their team.
"The walk, it's not only celebrating the gift that I have been given but celebrating the people who have donated. They need to be celebrated for their unselfishness. It's something to be very proud about," Mulkerin said.
To donate to LifeBanc, go to www.lifebanc.org.

If you attended the Boston Festival of Indie Games in 2013, then you may have noticed how popular of an event it was. Well, it was so popular that the BFIG just announced that they have received over 200 digital and tabletop games for consideration into the 2014 show, breaking records from the previous years. Keep in mind that this is only the third year of the BFIG.
Dan Silvers, the Director of the BFIG, released this statement, "This year, we've received more submissions for our indie tabletop and video game showcases than ever before. We are proud to support [the] New England game development community, a resilient and talented group that continues to impress and surprise. We can't wait to get all these great games in front of our eager attendees."
The first year of the festival took place within the classrooms of MIT. They quickly outgrew that and had to move into the Johnson Athletic center as well as the Student Center. While the Athletic Center had plenty of room early in the day, the Student Center (where the tabletop games were showcased) slowly ran out of space to move. There were even lines to demo some of the games.
With over 200 submissions, this could be the biggest festival yet. While logistically it may be a problem, it is a good problem to have nonetheless. It shows a growing industry, something to be proud of, and it's taking place in our own backyard.
The Boston Festival of Indie Games 2014 will take place on Saturday, September 13 at the MIT Johnson Athletic Center in Cambridge, Ma. Tickets are still available for $10 each, but if you order in groups of two or more, then they only cost $7.50 each. Kids of age 13 and under can register for free at the door.

The last decade has seen a real
dialogue develop between Mathematics and the Medical Sciences
- to the extent that the importance of mathematical models
in many branches of the medical sciences is now widely
recognized and accepted. Throughout the sciences the right
type of problems lead to the development of new mathematical
techniques and methods which result in significant advances
in the field. There are currently numerous examples of
how the interaction of applied mathematicians and medical
scientists has led to fruitful and significant advances
which would have been difficult if not impossible for
either group working independently to achieve.
The purpose of the Centre, as envisioned
by the Directors, is threefold: firstly, the hope is that
a Centre of this nature will help to foster collaborative,
interdisciplinary research in the medical sciences. Secondly,
an important goal of the Centre will be to stimulate and
engage a new generation of graduate students and young
researchers (both medical practitioners/scientists and
mathematical scientists) to work on problems arising in
medicine. Thirdly, teaching will be a major component
of the Centre's activities at both undergraduate and graduate
levels. The intention is to coordinate teaching sessions,
seminars and lectures - a monthly seminar series as well
as annual symposia are planned.
This initiative will involve a
combination of workshops, discussion meetings, collaborative
health research projects, short and long term visitor
programs - all designed to stimulate research both within
Ontario and in collaboration with other research groups
across Canada.

Box Score | UCLA Baseball on Facebook
Los Angeles, Calif. - Behind six strong innings from freshman right-hander Cody Poteet and a 13-hit performance from its offense, the ninth-ranked UCLA Baseball team defeated the UC Irvine Anteaters, 8-1, on Tuesday night at Jackie Robinson Stadium.
Poteet's six innings pitched were a new season-high for the freshman, as were the five batters he struck out. He also allowed just two hits and did not walk a batter in his six innings of work to earn his third win of the year. Evan Brock suffered the loss for the Anteaters after lasting just 0.2 innings and giving up a run on three walks.
Poteet cruised through the first three innings, retiring nine of the first 10 batters he faced. UCLA then jumped ahead in the bottom of the third with a run off of Brock. With one out, sophomore Eric Filia was hit by pitch and after back-to-back walks, the bases were loaded for sophomore Shane Zeile. Zeile then hit a sacrifice fly to right to bring in Filia and give the Bruins a 1-0 advantage.
The Bruins added to their lead in the bottom of the fifth, starting when Zeile reached first on a throwing error by Chris Rabago with one out. After a Pat Gallagher single moved and a fly out by Christoph Bono, junior Brenton Allen came to the plate and singled to center, plating Zeile and making it 2-0 UCLA.
After Poteet pitched a scoreless sixth, UCLA tacked on another run in the bottom half of the inning when Filia singled in sophomore Kevin Kramer from second to increase the Bruins' lead to three. UCLA then broke the game open in the seventh, going off for five runs in the inning. After three consecutive singles by Gallagher, Bono and Allen loaded the bases with nobody out, junior Brian Carroll drew a walk to bring in Gallagher and make it 4-0. Kramer then stepped to the plate and cleared the bases with a triple to left-center, giving UCLA a seven-run advantage. Kramer would eventually come home on a wild pitch to give the Bruins a comfortable 8-0 lead.
UC Irvine would prevent the shutout with a run in the eighth, but that would be all and the Bruins claimed an 8-1 victory over the Anteaters.
Kramer led the UCLA offense on the night, going 2-5 with a double, a triple and two runs scored while matching a career-high with three RBI. Filia, Gallagher and Bono each added two hits as well while Allen posted his first career three-hit game. Finally, senior Cody Regis reached base in three of his five plate appearances, earning three walks to bring his career total to 117.
The Bruins (28-13, 11-7 Pac-12) will return to Pac-12 play this weekend as they host the Utah Utes (16-23, 5-16 Pac-12) from Friday, May 3 to Sunday, May 5 at Jackie Robinson Stadium. Game times are 6 p.m., 2 p.m. and 1 p.m. respectively.
Game Notes: With tonight's win, UCLA has achieved the highest four-year win total (162) in program history, surpassing the 161 wins accumulated from 2009-2012...Kevin Kramer recorded his fourth multi-hit game in his last five outings and is now 13 for his last 36 (.361 batting average)...Kramer also recorded his team-leading fourth multi-RBI game of the season...David Berg extended his consecutive scoreless innings streak to 22.2 innings...Pat Valaika recorded four assists and a putout tonight, extending his consecutive games without an error streak to 31...Cody Poteet retired 18 of the 22 batters he faced in the game...the Bruins improved to 23-0 when holding their opponents to three runs or fewer and 22-3 when they score first.

In a continued "Outta Touch Tirade" at a recent event Hillary Clinton in her effort to demagogue the gun violence issue equated gun owners to a minority of Americans and then went a step further to say we are "terrorists" terrorizing the Majority of Americans. In addition she still can't get her facts straight after over 20 years of public service and figure out the difference between a "Fully" automatic gun and a "Semi" automatic gun.
When you look at gun ownership across America there are estimated to be 97 per 100 residents. 270 million guns owned by approximately 104 million gun owners in the United States out of a population of 318 Million people. Just looking at Handgun statistics alone there are 114 Million handgun owners in the US. The overall percentage of households who own a firearm according to the latest data from 2012 is 34.4%.
Good site with Gun Facts: American Gun Facts.
So basically just looking at the above numbers & statistics clearly Mrs. Clinton is WRONG. Gun owners do not represent a minority. The numbers just don't support her demagoguery! If you wanted to make a vague comparison to the her statement and really look at how a small minority is terrorizing the majority in this country take a close look at Obamacare. Here you have a HUGE, gov't run and bureaucratic healthcare law that was passed to help insure the 30 million un-insured and by the governments own calculations they have barely signed up 8 million. Yes, just 8 million people of the 30 million people who the law was designed to insure. s for a Minority Terrorizing the Majority here's a Classic example. Here many Americans lost their insurance and their doctor so a VERY SMALL minority could get a Government subsidy at the expense of the majority of American.
Its time for Mrs. Clinton to face the fact that she is out of touch! Additionally while she was on her little tirade about guns and gun owners she referred to "fully automatic weapons" which again any informed gun owner would know is pure hyperbole, demagoguery and frankly irresponsible for a public figure! Below is the quote from article Hillary Clinton: Gun Owners 'terrorizing' Americans
"We're going to have to do a better job protecting the vast majority of our citizens, including our children, from that very, very, very small group that is unfortunately prone to violence and now with automatic weapons can wreak so much more violence than they ever could have before."
In addition, its interesting that in her "Outta Touch Tirade" there is not one mention of mentally ill people or anything that should be done to help them despite the fact that almost every recent mass shooting was perpetrated by a mentally ill person. The reference to our children is hollow considering the fact that more innocent children are murdered each and every year at the hands of Planned Parenthood and Abortion than there ever will be by guns!
Clinton said she feels for parents sending their kids to school, noting that there have been 74 school shootings since Sandy Hook.
Mrs. Clinton states that no parent should have to worry about their child at school but yet the liberals have legislated "Gun Free Zones" which are legislated "Killing Zones" because no criminal or insane person is going to say , "Oh this is a Gun Free Zone, so I better not bring or use a gun!". The mere mentality that these laws will prevent gun violence is a travesty!
We use guns to guard our President, sports figures, celebrities, bank & casinos but Guns are not good to protect arguably our Country's most precious resource; "Our Children"?? Insanity! There are a lot of citizens who would volunteer to protect our children at school with legally owned firearms and this would provide a tremendous deterrent against anyone meaning our children harm!
So if you are a gun owner and don't like being lumped with Terrorists who really do mean this country harm and are personally insulted then lets make sure that people like Hillary Clinton are held accountable for their words, demagoguery and misinformation! The foremost thing to do is stay informed and be vocal. Utilize every form of social media out there to help inform the uninformed about these important issues. If it's going to be left to the Lame Stream Media then the truth will be BURIED!

Talk:D-Link DWL-G122 rev E1
From WikiDevi

- This was the previous entry in the USB ID Repository. The current entry specifies RT2070 (but may have been based upon this entry). Spec wise, RT2070 is the likely chip used (b/g, RT2870 derivative).. but - without the FCC ID (if there is any, the device may have been sold only in non-US locations), opening the device, or debug dump from rt2800usb - the chipset remains a best guess.
