Final Stats
AKRON, Ohio - Northern Illinois had four players reach double-figures at Akron Wednesday night, outscoring the Zips in the second half, 45-41, but the Huskies (8-15, 4-9 MAC) would fall to UA (16-8, 10-3 MAC) as the Zips earned their program record ninth-consecutive victory, 89-75. Junior Amanda Corral (Hobart, Ill./Hobart) scored 21 points, while freshman Ally Lehman (Nineveh, Ind./Indian Creek) added 14 points in the second half, shooting 7-for-7 in the stanza. Akron's Rachel Tecca scored 36 points in the game."Offensively tonight, we showed how good we can be when we have that attacking mentality," said Head Coach Kathi Bennett, "second half points really hurt us in the first half and that's how they got the lead. Our guards did a really nice job, they had a good feel in the second half offensively and that was as good as we'd looked in awhile."The Huskies and the Zips played at a high flying pace in the first half as the teams combined for 78 points in the first period and 86 more in the second stanza. Both Northern Illinois and Akron shot over 45 percent from the field in the half and both teams combined for a 31-for-61 (.508) performance from the field. The Huskies were 12-of-19 with three minutes remaining in the first half, but closed the period 13-for-27 (.481) in the half.Corral paced the squad with 11 points and 4-for-7 average. She was also a perfect 3-for-3 from the free throw line. Akron's Tecca and Hanna Luburgh were explosive scorers in the half as they scored 18 and 11, respectively, combining for 29 points.NIU was superb in the second half as it made 17 of its 28 shots attempted in the period for a clip of .586. The average was the Huskies best since a .591 average in the second half versus Ohio in the Mid-American Conference opener on January 4. It was the most second half field goals for Northern Illinois since converting 18 at Toledo on January 9.Playing pure offensive basketball, both teams combined for seven turnovers in the game with NIU forcing three from Akron. It was the Huskies first 40-point half since scoring 41 at Miami on January 18 and their seventh 40-point half this season.Lehman was a major cog of the Huskies' high-percentage as she was a perfect 7-of-7 from the field in the second stanza to score 14 points in the frame and in the game, a new career-high for the frosh. After recording 11 points in the first half, Corral added 10 points in the second period, scoring 10 points with four personal fouls on her. Her 21 points put her four points shy of eclipsing the 1,000 point mark in her career and becoming the 26th NIU player to accomplish the feat.Lindstrom scored 11 points off the bench for the second-straight game, shooting 3-of-5 from behind the three-point line and 4-of-9 from the field. In the last five games, the Howards Grove, Wis., native is 15-of-31 (.483) from behind the arc. On the defensive side, Natecia Augusta (Peoria, Ill./Limestone) recorded her third-straight game with a block, averaging 2.0 per game in that span. She scored four points and pulled down three boards.The Huskies will return to action Saturday, February 22 when it hosts MAC West leader Central Michigan. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. Central. NIU will host Alumae Day festivities Saturday with all alums welcome to attend.

What most people do not realize is that betting on baseball is one of the easiest ways to make money in the sports betting world. By making smart bets one the money line (dime lines in particular), you can really neutralize the book's edge. Before you start betting on baseball, you are going to want to explore some different options for where you can bet. For your benefit, we are only recommending dimeline baseball sportsbooks here. Each book will provide solid odds throughout the baseball season, but each book also caters to a specific type of bettor. This guide will help you to choose the best possible baseball sportsbook for your specific needs.
Reduced Juice: 5Dimes
We recommend that everyone who bets on baseball holds an account at 5Dimes. Not only do they have one of the best reputations in the industry, but they also offer superb customer service and reduced juice on almost every major sport – including baseball. What this means is that you essentially receive a discount on every wager that you make. This reduces your risk and will end up saving you a ton of money in the long run. Let's say you save an average of $5 per wager at 5Dimes compared to another book. Over the course of the year you could easily make 100 wagers, meaning you end up risking around $500 less than you would have at a sportsbook without reduced juice. The more you wager, the more you save and, ultimately, the more you win!
Bonus Hunters: BetOnline
BetOnline offers a true dimeline for baseball betting, which is rare enough in itself, but they also provide one of the best bonuses in the entire industry. What they have is something called a Lifetime Bonus Guarantee, which is exactly what it sounds like – you not only get a 25% bonus when you make your initial deposit, but you'll get that same 25% bonus for any deposit you make for the lifetime of your account.

So how's a private equity company snatching up homes all across America, pushing average citizens out of the market and then renting these homes back to the once middle class, but now indentured servitude masses supposed to hedge itself against future backlash? Simple, put a former General and NATO Supreme Allied Commander in Europe on your payroll. That's exactly what Blackstone has just done.
According to Bloomberg, Blackstone has hired General Wesley Clark to "to advise on its investments in energy companies." This makes perfect sense since General Clark may be privy to information regarding which countries' oil wells and refineries may be next in line or liberation by America. From Bloomberg:
Blackstone Group LP hired Wesley Clark, the former NATO Supreme Allied Commander in Europe and a one-time U.S. presidential candidate, to advise on its investments in energy companies.
Private-equity firms hire high-ranking executives and former officials to expand relationships with corporations and governments worldwide, as well as to benefit from their industry experiences. KKR & Co., the buyout company run by Henry Kravis and George Roberts, hired former CIA director David Petraeus last month to run a new unit for public policy and economic research at the New York-based firm.
Clark, a retired four-star general and graduate of West Point and Oxford University, left the military in 2000. He ran unsuccessfully as a Democratic candidate for president in the 2004 elections.
Congratulations General Clark. You join a long list of prominent men and women in America, who would rather snatch all the money they can rather than attempt to restore the nation to liberty, the rule of law and defend the masses being exploited by the institutionalized cronyism rampant these days. Classy.

The Tony Award-winning musical Book of Mormon will be saying "Hello!" to Salt Lake City as the production will have a run next summer in the epicenter of the religion in which it pokes fun, according to a report today from the Associated Press.
The musical will make open at the Capitol Theatre, less than a half-mile from headquarters and temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, on July 28, 2015 and will have 16 performances ending on Aug. 9, 2015.
This will be the first chance for theatergoers in the state to watch the story that does reference the city itself in at least one song, but definitely is a satirical take on the LDS Church.
The Mormon church restated its feelings on the musical Friday in similar fashion to the past, telling the AP that audiences may be entertained for the night, but the Book of Mormon changes people's life forever.
According to a report from the Salt Lake City Tribune, some had thought in he past that the musical wouldn't make its way to the state until it had a large-enough venue or it played out in larger cities first.
However, Book of Mormon will be added on to MagicSpace Entertainment's 2014-15 Broadway Across America –– Utah season, which will bring Broadway shows to the Utah capital.
"We are particularly excited about this show and feel fortunate to have it appear in Salt Lake City," said MagicSpace CEO Lee Marshall.
Book of Mormon, the brainchild of South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, was nominated for 13 Tony Awards in 2011, pulling in nine, including Best Musical.

College Hockey:Notre Dame Completes Sweep Of Michigan
Irish Sit Second In CCHA With Lone Weekend Remaining
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — After being defeated Friday, Michigan wanted to come out of the gate better in Saturday night's contest against Notre Dame, looking to put more traffic in front of Irish freshman netminder David Brown.
The Fighting Irish, meanwhile, didn't want to lose their last regular-season game at home — otherwise known as Senior Night.
They didn't. The Irish defeated the Wolverines 5-2, riding the outstanding performances of Brown and their senior-laden defense, despite being dominated in the first two periods.
The second period was a whirlwind of activity, after Michigan exited the first down 1-0. The Irish took five shots on net in the second, and two ended up as goals.
Twenty seconds in, Wolverine sophomore forward Jeff Tambellini scored to bring the game even, and less than two minutes later, sophomore forward Andrew Ebbett managed to slide the puck behind Irish goalie Brown during a mad scramble in front of the net to give Michigan the lead.
Irish coach Dave Poulin called timeout to settle his team down, and after weathering the emotion the Wolverines brewed with their quick duo of goals, they came back.
Almost 16 minutes into the second period, Irish defenseman Neil Komadoski took a shot from the blue line through traffic, and the puck hit the back of the net to tie the game at two.
17 seconds later sophomore forward Matt Amado blasted a shot over Ruden's shoulder to give the Irish the lead they held.
Early in the third, senior forward Rob Globke added a goal to give the Irish the two-goal cushion, and Cory McLean scored an empty-netter in the 17th minute to round it out.
"We had the game 2-1 and then two goals in one shift really got them going," Michigan coach Red Berenson said. "From then on, the game was a close game. The next goal was a big goal, and we couldn't get it.
"You look at the scoreboard and say, 'Geez, you've got 41 shots on goal.' We gave up too many too easily and they were hard to come by offensively. When you're on the road, you're not going to win when you give up four or five goals against."
In the first period, the Irish only managed three shots on sophomore goaltender Noah Ruden, but the Wolverines found themselves down by a goal going into the first intermission.
A shot by sophomore forward Mike Walsh looked like it was going to miss the net, but went off a Wolverine defender's ribcage and slid past Ruden for the first tally of the evening.
"Getting out of the first period up one-nothing was enormous, obviously," Poulin said. "We talked before the game that Michigan was going to play tremendous in front of [Ruden]. He made some pretty good saves, and we couldn't get to him.
"It was important that we not get frustrated. I think we got out of our game, totally, but we didn't get frustrated, and then when they came back to 2-1, we had to stop the flow, and we did. … Then I thought in the last six minutes of the second period we played like we were capable of playing, and then the third period we were very good."
"That was the challenge to our team — to give Noah a chance — and we did," said Berenson. "But they still took the game away from us in the second and then we couldn't get it back in the third."
With the loss, the Wolverines again failed to clinch first place, and have two games against the Michigan State Spartans in the final weekend of CCHA play; Friday night is at Munn Arena in East Lansing with game time set at 8:05 p.m., while Saturday is at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.
The Irish have a two-game road series against the Lake Superior State Lakers in Sault Ste. Marie.

The NBA Finals got back to normalcy on June 8. With the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs playing in working air conditioning for Game 2, and with LeBron James lasting the full 48 minutes, this latest turning point in the NBA Finals had no asterisks. The Heat and Spurs just played down to the wire, with James dominating at various points, until Miami found a way to close San Antonio out and even the series with a 98-96 win.
The Heat and James started slow in the first quarter, as James only had one dunk and a few turnovers while the Spurs held the early lead. But the visitors stabilized by halftime, and then James caught fire for 14 points in a high scoring third period.
Despite James' hot steak, the Spurs still outscored the Heat by 35-34 in the third, clinging to a one-point lead. However, missed free throws would loom large later on, as Tony Parker missed two after Mario Chalmers elbowed him on a flagrant foul, followed by two misses from Tim Duncan. Nevertheless, three-pointers from Boris Diaw and Parker put the Spurs back ahead by 93-92.
While James led Miami with 35 points, Chris Bosh made the shot that could shift the NBA Finals, as his three-pointer put the Heat ahead for good. James then made one free throw before the Spurs came up empty on their next possession. They counted on their defense to give them one last shot instead of putting the Heat on the line, yet Bosh found Dwayne Wade on a bounce pass and let him put Game 2 away.
A buzzer-beating three made no difference for the Spurs, as they lost their home court advantage after a Game 1 win, just like the Indiana Pacers did in the Eastern Conference finals. With the NBA Finals now in a 2-2-1-1-1 format, the Heat only need to stay perfect at home to clinch a three-peat in Game 6.
San Antonio now has to win at least one road game to take back the championship. But since Miami never loses twice in a row in the playoffs, a Game 3 Spurs loss could end the NBA Finals, since at least one two-game Heat losing streak would be required after that. But without James' cramps and a lack of AC, closing out the Heat is now a more difficult task for the Spurs.

ARM CEO: Moore's Law 'Alive and Well'
Warren East, chief executive of ARM Holdings, reckons that predictions of the demise of Moore's Law are premature.
The law is named after Intel co-founder Gordon E. Moore, who predicted, as long ago as 1965, that the power of a chip doubles approximately every two years. What he actually said is that the number of transistors that can be placed on a chip doubles (and there is some controversy about the time period as well), but most people interpret that as the power of a chip.
"Moore's Law is alive and well," he said. "There are a good three or four generations [of chip design] to go."
Almost for as long as Moore's Law (which is more of a prediction than a law) has been around, people have been predicting its death, yet somehow innovations have come along to keep it going.
In chip design, the state of the art today is about 28 nanometer, according to Mr. East. "We have already announced collaborating with IBM to get down to 14 nanometer, and there is a road map of products going down to 8 nanometer."
The measurement relates to the size of the elements inside the chip. To get some idea of the what that means, it is roughly speaking the thickness of a cell wall. If Mr. East is correct then that would suggest the power of today's chips will double, then double again, and then at least double once more.
Mr. Moore himself predicted the death of his own law, and of course he is correct; there will come a point when the laws of physics simply don't allow growth to continue. At that stage, other technologies will have to come into play, such as quantum computing.
Was ARM working on quantum computing? "We don't spend a lot of time looking at that," admitted Mr. East.
Maybe they will soon.

MEMBER of Legislative Assembly (MLA) for the Camp constituency Bill Luxton, announced his decision to resign today and his resignation has been accepted by H E The Governor.
MLA Luxton, who has served many terms in the service of the Legislature, told Penguin News this morning that he has informed his colleagues that he had come to the conclusion that the extra work load on them resulting from his prolonged absence "is really not fair and that even when I am here it is not satisfactory for me to be Chairing any of the important Committees on a part time basis."
MLA Luxton spends six months of each year at his home in the South of France.
He added, "I had hoped to be able to play a fuller part when I was in Europe but this did not seem to work out so I feel it will be better for me to make way for someone else. I was very surprised that I even got elected, as I suspect all or most of you were. I was very touched that so many of the Camp population put their faith in me - but I suspect that they, like me, will feel that it has not worked as well as I had hoped."
He said he tendered his resignation in the early hours of this morning: "I didn't want to drop it in the middle of the referendum, the result of which I was delighted with by the way."
MLA Luxton said he had enjoyed working with his colleagues: "I think we have tried to be open with the public even if people sometimes doubt this. We have had some robust discussions but almost always have reached a consensus. I was deeply sorry that we lost Glenn Ross because of his problems at the Power Station and I hope that one day he will return to the Assembly. He was an excellent MLA and his enquiring and open mind made him a superb choice as Chair of The Agricultural Committee. I enjoyed working with him on that committee enormously."
He added in a letter to his colleagues that he had also enjoyed working with MLA Dick Sawle, "with his quest to bring the monopolies that are the curse of the Falklands under control. I hope all of you and the new MLA's will give him every support in this."
In a statement from Government House it notes:The Governor has accepted, with regret, the resignation of Bill Luxton from the Legislative Assembly on 4 November. It explains that in response to the resignation, the Governor said he understood the reasons for the decision and that he appreciated the expertise that Bill had brought to bear on his portfolios, particularly on matters concerning rural development. The Governor said he would miss Bill's wisdom and experience, describing Bill as an effective and persuasive voice. The Governor also said he would always appreciate all that Bill did to welcome him when the Governor first arrived in the Islands, and wished Bill the very best for the future. The statement continues: Bill has commented that he had resigned purely for personal reasons - his absences overseas had made it very difficult to balance his workload as an MLA and the other aspects of his life. He added that he had greatly enjoyed working with all colleagues in the Assembly and with the Governor, and that he wished the Assembly well for the rest of its term. Arrangements for the by-election will be announced shortly. A by-election has already been planned for December 15 following the resignation of Stanley Member Emma Edwards, however, it is not yet known whether the two by-elections will take place on the same day or separately.

Headbanging to brain injury
A German Motorhead fan suffered brain bleeding after headbanging at a concert, The Lancet has revealed. Intensive Care researcher Manoj Saxena tells of the dangers of headbanging.PT1M41S http://www.theage.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-3bdne 620 349 July 4, 2014
A heavy metal fan has been found to have bleeding in the brain a month after a night of headbanging at a Motorhead concert in Paris.
German doctors who diagnosed the 50-year-old man's bleed say the case is "evidence of Motorhead's reputation as one of the most hardcore rock'n'roll acts on earth" - but also serves as a health warning against headbanging.
After the concert, in January 2013, the fan had constantly worsening headaches.

Neurosurgeons at Hanover Medical School found a small area of bleeding on the right side of his brain, called a chronic subdural haematoma, where blood gathers under the outer membrane of the brain.
Emerging from heavy metal's 1970s heyday, headbanging has from time to time been associated with health scares such as whiplash and fractures of a cervical bone called the odontoid.
But the Hanover doctors suggest the risk could be greater.
They trawled through science publications and found three other cases of subdural haematoma caused by headbanging, one of which caused sudden death.
"Even though there are only a few documented cases of subdural haematomas, the incidence may be higher because the symptoms of this type of brain injury are often clinically silent or cause only mild headache that resolves spontaneously," said Dr Ariyan Pirayesh Islamian.
The Lancet, which reported the January 2013 case, said the patient was otherwise healthy, had no history of head injuries and denied any drug abuse.
The assumption is that headbanging caused high acceleration and deceleration of brain tissue, leading tiny blood vessels in the brain to burst.
The patient underwent keyhole surgery to drain the bleeding and was discharged after eight days. His headaches subsided.
"This case serves as evidence in support of Motorhead's reputation as one of the most hardcore rock'n'roll acts on Earth, if nothing else because of their music's contagious speed drive and the hazardous potential for headbanging fans to suffer brain injury," the doctor said.

Major Ira Hobart Evans
Major Ira Hobart Evans
(Civil War)
Ira Hobart Evans was born in Piermont, New Hampshire on April 11, 1844. Following the death of his father in 1852, his mother moved the family to her hometown of Berlin, Vermont, where the young Evans attended school and later graduated from the Barre Academy. With the Civil War and a call to arms sounding across the country, Evans enlisted as a private in Company B, 10th Vermont Volunteer Infantry on July 1862. He would later be promoted to Captain and eventually Brevet Major.
Major Evans received the Congressional Medal of Honor for heroism while serving with Company B, 116th U.S. Colored Troops, at the Battle of Hatcher's Run, Virginia. According to the citation, on April 6, 1865 "Evans voluntarily passed between the lines under heavy fire from the enemy and obtained important information." Following the assassination of President Lincoln, Evans was selected to march in the Honor Guard for the fallen Commander in Chief.
At the conclusion of the Civil War, Evans was transferred to Texas as part of the Federal Forces to help oversee Reconstruction and served as the Provost Marshall of Brownsville. In 1867, he was discharged from active duty in New Orleans. Liking Texas, he returned to the area and soon entered politics. He was elected to the Texas House of Representatives and became the Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives at the age of 25. In addition to being a legislator he was a businessman, religious leader and a philanthropist.
Evans was an early member of the Vermont Society, Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) with a National Number of 2751. His Vermont State Number is 51. His Patriot ancestor is James Hobart who served as a private in the New Hampshire Troops in 1777. He signed his application on November 5, 1890 while living in Austin, TX. On December 8, 1896 he founded the Texas Society of the Sons of the American Revolution and transferred his membership to that new society. He held Texas Society membership number 1, and served as the group's first President. It is believed that Compatriot Evans is the only known Medal of Honor recipient to serve as a Society President.
Ira Hobart Evans died in San Diego, CA, on April 19, 1922 of a heart ailment. His body was returned to Berlin, VT, to be buried with members of his family in the Berlin Corner Cemetery.

A new battery electrode designed at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) combines liquid-state cesium and sodium to dramatically improve on the efficiency, safety and useful life of sodium-beta batteries (NBBs). If the technology is scaled up successfully, the advance could help build a smart electric grid that makes better use of renewables such as solar and wind. Read More
Increasing the range of electric vehicles and improving the storage of renewable energy systems are two examples of the benefits offered by lithium-sulfur batteries. Though they can hold four times the energy per mass of the lithium-ion batteries used today, their considerably shorter lifespan has proven something of a roadblock. Researchers from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have now designed a lithium-sulfur battery with four times the longevity, bringing the technology that little bit closer to maturity.

In order to better understand and protect wild stocks of salmon, it's necessary to track their whereabouts using implanted acoustic tags. Needless to say, the longer that those tags are able to transmit a signal, the greater the amount of data that can be gathered. Scientists at Washington state's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are helping make that happen, by developing batteries that have both a smaller size and higher energy density than conventional fish tag batteries.Read More
Engineers at the US Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have created a continuous process that produces useful crude oil minutes after harvested algae is introduced. This new process does not require drying out the algae, which grows in water, saving time and energy that would be otherwise wasted. The final product can be refined into aviation fuel, diesel, or gasoline. Read More
Solar power holds the promise of clean, limitless energy, but it currently suffers from high costs and an inherent disadvantage of not working when the sun isn't shining. The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is taking a best-of-both-worlds approach by developing a hybrid solar/gas system that increases the efficiency and reduces the carbon footprint of natural gas power plants.

A new, small-scale solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system developed at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (DoE PNNL) could be used for household and neighborhood power generation. Fueled by methane, the system achieves an efficiency of up to 57 percent, improving on the 30 to 50 percent efficiencies seen previously in SOFC systems of similar size. The PNNL researchers say the pilot system they have built generates enough electricity to power the average American home, and can be scaled up to provide power for 50 to 250 homes.Read More
What's the best way to plug a giant hole? Why with a giant plug, of course. That's the thinking of the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T), which has created just such a giant plug to contain flooding or dangerous gases in mass transit tunnels. Measuring roughly 32 feet (9.7 m) long and with a diameter of 16 feet (4.9 m), the giant plug is an enormous inflatable cylinder that can be filled with air or water in minutes to quickly seal off a section of tunnel in the event of an accident, natural disaster or terrorist attack.

The development of practical microbial fuel cells took a big step forward this week. Research conducted by a team of scientists from England's University of East Anglia was published on Monday (May 23), in which they revealed that they had discovered "the exact molecular structure of the proteins which enable bacterial cells to transfer electrical charge." Scientists possessing this knowledge can now start working on technology for tethering bacteria directly to electrodes, which could lead to much more efficient microbial fuel cells – also known as bio-batteries.Read More
Rechargeable lithium ion batteries are used in everything from mobile phones to cars. Most of the batteries available today are designed with an oxide of metal such as cobalt, nickel, or manganese, which adds to their cost. Researchers looking for lower-priced alternatives to existing lithium ion-metal oxide batteries have discovered that a little wax and soap can help build electrodes and will allow battery developers to explore lower-priced alternatives to the lithium ion-metal oxide batteries currently on the market.Read More
In a finding that could well revolutionize cooling technology as we know it, researchers at Oregon State University and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have discovered a way to achieve near-optimal heat dissipation by applying a nanostructured coating. Because of performance, versatility and economy of materials used, their method could soon lead to better electronics, heating and air conditioning.Read More

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
A total of 14 members of the Alabama track and field team earned All-America honors for their performances during the 2014 outdoor season, the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) announced Monday, including eight men and six women.
"I am very proud of our All-American honorees," UA head coach Dan Waters said. "As we continue to work toward building a complete team, having student-athletes earn All-Americans in the sprints, jumps and throws is a sign we're making substantial progress."
The Crimson Tide's All-American contingent powered the men's team to a 15th place finish and the women to an 18th place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. It marks the first time that both teams finished among the top 20 in the same year since 2000.
"Our success this year is a testament to the hard work of our athletes and staff, and it's another step forward for our program," Waters said.
Junior Remona Burchell was a two-time All-American, picking up first-team honors for her victory in the 100 meters and a sixth-place finish on the women's 4x100-meter relay. Senior Sarah Thomas, junior Dominique Kimpel and freshman Quanesha Burks also garnered first-team status as part of the women's 4x100-meter relay team. Senior Yanique Malcolm (800 meters) and freshman Lakan Taylor (pole vault) earned second-team All-America honors.
On the men's side, redshirt freshman Hayden Reed earned first-team All-America honors after winning the men's discus title, becoming just the second freshman in NCAA history to win the discus event at the NCAA outdoor championships.
Sophomore Justin Fondren also earned first-team All-American status with a fifth-place finish in the high jump over the weekend. Joining Reed and Fondren on the men's first-team All-America list are the four members of the Tide's 4x100-meter relay team--seniors Diondre Batson, Akeem Haynes and Alex Sanders and sophomore Dwight Davis.
Junior Charodd Richardson (hammer throw) and redshirt freshman Kyle Felpel (shot put) earned second-team All-America honors.
In addition to the 14 first and second team All-Americans, five more Alabama student athletes - three men and two women - earned USTFCCCA Honorable Mention honors. Junior Alex Amankwah (800 meters), sophomore Imani Brown (triple jump) and Josh McCullan (long jump) were named on the men's honorable mention list, while junior Nia Barnes (hammer throw) and freshman Quanesha Burks (long jump) received honorable-mention honors on the women's side of the slate.
First team All-America honors were awarded to those who finished among the top eight in an individual or relay event, second team All-America honors went to those who finished between ninth and 16th and honorable mention honors were given to those that finished between 17th and 24th .

text: One‐to-one computing programs and laptop programs have been a popular approach to education reform in developing countries over the last decade. A motivation behind so many one-to-one laptop programs is the desire to overcome with one powerful resource the historical lack of educational tools and resources available in developing countries. The research on laptop programs in developing countries often finds that these programs help bridge the digital divide and improve students' technical fluency, but the desired impact on academic achievement remains elusive (Valiente, 2010; Winthrop & Smith, 2012; Zucker & Light, 2009). A frequent problem identified in the research is that the laptops, once distributed to the children, may seldom be used in the classrooms. Research on laptop programs easily identifies the challenges to their use in classrooms as teacher training, time constraints, or outdated teaching approaches; however, the research seldom delves more deeply into how laptops might be more completely integrated into daily classroom use (Akbaba--‐Altun, 2006; Comenius, 2008; Kraemer, J. Dedrick, & Sharma, 2009; Light & Rockman, 2008; Vyasulu Reddi & Sinha, 2003; Winthrop & Smith, 2012).

College Hockey:Terriers Get Down, Not Out
BU Rallies With Six Unanswered Goals To Win 7-4
BOSTON — UMass-Lowell must wish that daylight-saving time ended about five hours earlier than scheduled tonight.
The River Hawks would have loved to turn back the clock to around 9 p.m., when they had a 4-1 lead on the road against Boston University. Instead, it turned dark in a hurry, as the Terriers scored six unanswered goals in the last 30 minutes of the game to win 7-4 in front of 5,686 at Agganis Arena.
BU's fourth line led the way offensively as Luke Popko scored twice and Zach Cohen notched a goal and an assist in their best games to date. Captain Bryan McGuirk, Ryan Weston, and Nick Bonino also potted a goal and a helper, with the freshman Bonino getting the game-winner in the third. Freshman defenseman Maury Edwards scored twice for the River Hawks.
"I thought we played a hell of a game from start to finish," Terriers' coach Jack Parker said. "I was very, very pleased. With the exception of a couple of stupid penalties we took, I thought we played extremely well. As the game got out of hand for us at 4-1, I thought we had the same resolve we had earlier.
"This is the quickest weve looked tonight. We were quick against Providence [in a 5-2 win] on Thursday, but we were quicker tonight because the puck was moving more than our legs."
For River Hawks' coach Blaise MacDonald, the feelings were more mixed.
"I was proud of how we battled. We have a ridiculously young team. I thought we were spurt-y in our poise. We didn't show a lot of poise in the second period, but we did some good things. 4-3, they score early in the third, and then we come back and hit the post. It was a game that I thought was in the balance at that point,and then BU did a great job in the third period of crashing the net, driving our players into the net, which resulted in the winning goal."
Lowell went ahead just 2:14 into the game. BU freshman defenseman Colby Cohen threw a lazy pass across the point as a power play expired, and it went right to Maury Edwards coming out of the box for a breakaway and Edwards roofed it for the lead.
In the River Hawks' net, Nevin Hamilton gave up some rebounds on high shots later in the period, but BU failed to capitalize. Terries' netminder Karson Gillespie smothered an Ian Schaser chance at 18:25 to keep it 1-0.
Things got surreal early in the second period, starting with three goals in just 43 seconds; there were nine home games last season in which both teams scored three goals or less in a whole game, so this was a startling development for the BU faithful.
At 1:12, the puck squirted out of a scrum near the boards to Mark Roebothian, who slid a soft shot through Gillespie. McGuirk got that one back just 26 seconds later when he pestered Hamilton as a shot came from the point. However, Lowell regained the two-goal cushion just 17 ticks later when Jason DeLuca roofed a shot from tight quarters.
That was the end of the night for Gillespie; sophomore Brett Bennett came in, much to the delight of the home crowd. Unfortunately, he soon faced a five-on-three power play after a dumb high-sticking penalty by Eric Gryba. Bennett dodged a few bullets; Barry Goers fanned on a shot with half of the net open, and Chris Auger hit the crossbar, but Edwards finally buried one for a 4-1 lead.
Parker called a timeout shortly thereafter.
"I tried to tell them to just keep doing what they were doing. I told them theres plenty of time left; we don't have to get the next goal right now, but we have to stop the bleeding here, make sure we don't give up any more. We're going to get some goals on this team; let's not worry about whats happened."
BU responded with the biggest goal of the game. Despite having their fourth line up against the top River Hawks' line, Popko, Cohen, and freshman Victor Sapanari dominated play.
"Cohen was doing a great job down low cycling," Popko said. "We were talking about just shooting from the sides and going for rebounds. It went in, and you definitely could see the momentum change."
That set the stage for a five-goal explosion in the third. At 1:56, Bonino did a nice job of keeping the puck in the zone before passing to Bryan Ewing, who set up Colin Wilson for his first collegiate goal.
The River Hawks almost got it back when Patrick Cey hit the post less than two minutes later. Instead, BU's fourth line struck again as Cohen teed up a Grbya shot that Popko redirected in. Bonino got a power-play goal from tight quarters to put BU ahead, and then Cohen raced in on a breakaway to make it 6-4.
"It was certainly a coming-out party for Zach Cohen," Parker said. "I thought he looked like Frank Mahovlich a couple of times coming down the wing. I told him, 'Geez, you actually are fast!' We finally got him in shape; that's why he's fast."
Ryan Weston wrapped up the scoring for the Terriers, who mustered all this offense without Brandon Yip, who is expected to return next weekend after a groin strain against Providence on Thurday.
On a night when there were plenty of accolades to go around, Parker reserved his highest praise for Gillespie's reactions after being pulled.
"I told him 'You weren't on top of your game; we had to get you out of there. You'll be back in there, just keep working and dont worry about it right now.' That was all I said to him. As the game progressed, he was like another coach on the bench. He was pumping guys up, walking up and down, pounding on guys after they got goals, screaming at guys to play harder. I couldn't believe that he could turn himself into such a great teammate after having such a disappointment like that. It's a credit to him as an athlete and as a person."

Next time you think you're overworked, that you have no time to do anything remotely enjoyable, you may want to check out the schedule of Adam Schatz for a little perspective.
From bands like Landlady (which kicks off its residency at Brooklyn's Shea Stadium tonight) Man Man, Father Figures, Zongo Junction, and The Shoe Ins (just to name a few), to his own solo work and his non-profit organization Search and Restore, down time isn't a phrase in Schatz's vocabulary. Though when you ask him how he keeps everything together, he has an interesting response.
"We still do one at a time, physically and mentally, so if I was actually doing everything at the exact same time, that would be a bigger challenge," he said. "But the answer to your question is, I don't, I'm still figuring it out."
Well, he's doing a helluva job along the way to figuring it out, producing some of the most eclectic, yet captivating, music heard around these parts in a lot of years. And while he was probably told as a child that he could be whatever he wanted to be when he grew up, he actually took that old adage to heart.
"For me it was always about interest and desire and need," he said. "These are all the things fueling what I'm doing. From a pretty early age I was into a lot of different stuff and once I got to New York, it was like, okay, I'm here, I can be doing all of these different things and there's different music that I'm into and I really love organizing and I love performing and there are different ways to go about all of that. But I always sort of had a fear of a) hitting a wall with something or b) getting burned out, which can be the same thing or can also be pretty different. So I think starting a bunch of different projects is a protective measure."
At the moment though, Landlady is his baby, and with three weekly shows at Shea Stadium this month, he gets to devote the time to the band (Schatz, Mikey Freedom Hart, Ian Chang, Ian Davis, Booker Stardrum) that he feels it needs.
"I think I need to pour as much personal, physical, and emotional energy into this one thing because it needs momentum to take off the ground," he said. "It's all time and place and I've done lots of different things in relation to the time and the place. And right now, the time and place seems to call for this and I believe in it, and it's important to really go after what you believe in."
With one record already out in the music universe, and a second (Upright Behavior) on its way on July 15, there's no better time for Landlady to get its unique sound and songs to a wider audience. And with the first release from Upright Behavior, "Above My Ground," being as catchy as they come, that audience may grow pretty fast.
"Between that song and the first record, you can sort of hear the difference in recording quality," said Schatz of the band's upcoming release. "This one's a bit more hi-fi, and we did it in a studio with some other people. The last record I pretty much did all myself, so this one gives us that much more range, and I think that range is gonna really be on display. I think we can get totally quiet to the point of silence and we can get totally huge to this maximum energy that you didn't even know could be reached. It's that sort of landscape that we can create with this record where it can go all these different places but still feel like you've been a part of this whole."
Schatz is just as excited to translate that landscape to the live stage, and with three nights in the same venue in Brooklyn, it allows the band to stretch things out even further, a treat for both the existing fans of the band and newcomers as well.
"It's great just to be able to get to know a place in terms of the sound," said Schatz of the Shea residency. "We've got two drummers, we sometimes have guests sit in with us, and it always helps to really know a room and know what we sound like in the room, because I know by that third show, it's gonna be second nature to us playing in that space. And it's also great to have an excuse to get together every week. We can play a lot more of our songs rather than having to pick our favorite eight for the one show a month we play in New York. We can have as many of our favorite bands play with us and it means we can try and get as many people out to see us over the course of a month who will get a chance to see how the band can shift dynamically from night to night. A lot of parts of these songs change, depending on the player and what we're feeling, and I think it's really cool for people to get to see that."
And if Schatz has his way, a lot more people will see it in the coming months.
"It feels like the first liftoff," he said of Landlady's 2014 campaign. "It's the first time we're putting out a record with a record label (Hometapes) and with the support that we have. If people are gonna start caring, then we're gonna give back as hard as possible. We're gonna put out that record and tour, do all the things you're supposed to do and maybe a couple other things you're not supposed to do."
Landlady plays at Brooklyn's Shea Stadium on April 8, April 15, and April 22. For more information, click here

The wada test is a highly specialized procedure that is part of the neuropsychological examination in most comprehensive epilepsy centers. It is a test that enables the clinician to determine cerebral dominance and to evaluate memory function in each hemisphere of the brain. The procedure may be requested by an epileptologist in order to obtain more detailed information about the patient's memory abilities.
This evaluation is conducted on an outpatient basis. The neuropsychologist, neurologist, EEG technician, intervention neuroradiologist, and nursing staff are all present for the procedure and the patient is typically able to go home that same day. This test is often used for children who are surgical candidates and may have been diagnosed with intractable epilepsy or a brain tumor. As a result of this information, the neuropsychologist and neurologist are then able to help the epilepsy team make a final decision regarding surgery.
Cortical stimulation procedures are often utilized prior to surgery to assist the neurosurgeon in making surgical decisions regarding the precise area of the brain that is effected by seizures. This process involves the placement of a grid, which is an array of electrodes, that will measure the electrical activity on the surface of the brain. The neurologist and neuropsychologist then determine if there are speech and/or motor changes while the electrodes are stimulated. This helps to identify and better understand certain areas of the brain that will help the neurosurgeon identify what functions are associated with the specific area of the brain.

I've made it clear in previous articles that I do not require a strict, literal interpretation of the Bible to be true in order to maintain my faith in the supernatural God described by the Christian Bible. The Bible is an anthology of books written by human beings like me.
Therefore, the Bible is not God. Nor is my God confined or limited to exist within the pages of the Bible. As a result, I do not worship the Bible, but the God I believe it describes.
In my debate this Saturday, I have no intention of spending two hours of my life arguing that the Bible must be believed as literally interpreted. In fact, I plan to suggest we leave the inerrant Bible arguments out in the narthex, to be conducted before or after the debate. First, we must establish that any reason to suppose any supernatural God exists before we decide which specific version of God to worship.
We've been through the exercise of cherry-picking Bible verses and the argument that failure to produce a singular perspective of God culled from many different books in the Bible. I've already taken Dan Barker's open Bible test, and lacking Dan's help or participation, I also worked out self-grading my efforts.
The title of my debate with Ed Buckner is To Believe or Not Believe: a debate on the question of God – not specifically to defend my belief in Jesus or the triune Christian God. Instead, I have deliberately set the stage for arguing a different threshold than strictly belief in the God of the Bible. The reason for this is simple: I don't want to waste this opportunity arguing about a book or book collection. I want to debate the existence of the God described by these books.
The Bible is not a binary proposition that must be literally true or else it is worthless, in my opinion. In fact, even though I do not believe every word is literally true, I would have to rank my Bible as the most important book that I own. However, it is not the only book that I read.
I have repeatedly said that the most important words found in the Bible are those attributed to the Christ, and the least trustworthy references to God are found in the Old Testament. By extrapolation, one might conclude that for my faith in God to remain valid, it is not essential that the literal stories of the Old Testament be proved true.
When scientists on a program called Bible Mysteries Explained on the Planet Green channel claimed to present real evidence of a historical Sodom and Gomorrah, it naturally piqued my curiosity. I previously wrote about a similar type of effort to scientifically explain the ten plagues of Egypt, so it wasn't difficult for this program to also capture my full attention.
I discovered that the evidence for a historical Sodom and Gomorrah was quite compelling.
In 2005, scientists decoded a Sumerian artifact called the Planisphere that contained specific astronomic data. They now believe this ancient tablet depicts an asteroid strike destined for Kofels, Austria. Geographic and cosmologic data both indicate that the biblical location of Sodom and Gomorrah would have been in its path.
Late in the 19th century, archaeologists in Madaba, Jordan, discovered an ancient map in the form of a mosaic under the floor of the church of St. George, only thirty miles from Jerusalem. The map contains a specific reference to the ancient city of Zoar, the destination of Lot when he fled the destruction of Sodom. The map offers powerful evidence the city once existed.
Excavation of gravesites at a location suspected to be one of the two cities found mass graves containing as many as twenty thousand people. Scientific research of ice cores performed at the Ohio State University indicate a worldwide cataclysmic event took place in 3123 BC that could well have been the result of an air burst asteroid strike as suspected occurred in Kofels.
Does this mean the story of God's destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah is unquestionably true beyond any shadow of a doubt?
No. It means there is some intriguing evidence found outside of the Bible that lend credibility to the idea there once were cities called Sodom and Gomorrah, and apparently something terrible happened to them.
Ultimately, belief in God remains a matter of faith.

Japanese and Danish styles have enjoyed worldwide adoration for years now. They share similar design aesthetics of simplicity and authenticity making them a perfect pairing for a new collection introduced this week by BoConcept.
BoConcept collaborated on the new collection with designer Oki Sato of nendo. The objective was to create new functions and visual effects by bringing together the best features of each style. Oki Sato brought to the project the idea using origami, the traditional Japanese art of folding two-dimensional sheets of paper into three dimensional objects.
Style, comfort and functionality characterizes the fusion collection. On the collection and collaboration with BoConcept, designer Oki Sato says: "BoConcept's designs are very urban and very functional and have strong roots in the Danish design traditions. We liked that profile and our objective was to add a distinct Japanese touch to the BoConcept collection."
Together they fused the two styles into an amazing collection of sleek and modern pieces for the living room and outdoor spaces. Borrowing the idea of the Japanese aesthetic and merging it with Danish functionality the collection offers unexpected twists in materials shapes and colors. The result is a beautiful collection that will put a smile on your face.
The new BoConcept Fusion by nendo collection features a sofa, chair, rug, tables, wall storage system and accessories. The collection brings a sense of modernism to today's home furnishings. Any of the pieces will be at home in an eclectic design style or a contemporary scheme.
The collection launched this week and is on display at the Tampa showroom located at 1208 E Kennedy Blvd #125, Tampa, FL 33602.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. — Normally, the party in a lawsuit that receives a check is the winner, while the party that writes the check is the loser ... but in the case of Erik Everhard Entertainment vs. World Wide Red Light District, RLD Distribution and David Joseph, both sides are claiming victory ... and to the outside observer, the attorneys for each side make compelling cases for their positions.
For instance, it's uncontested that on Tuesday, the jury in the two-week-long trial awarded Everhard $141,000 for breach of contract by World Wide and RLD Distribution, and for "conversion" – that is, failure to return inventory and/or master disks/tapes to Everhard after the contract was terminated – by RLD Distribution, with Joseph, a principal in both companies, having been dismissed from the suit halfway through the trial, at roughly the same time that RLD Distribution was added as a defendant.
However, that's about where any agreement between the parties ends. Sean Macias, Everhard's attorney (and one of the big winners in the Evil Angel/Jules Jordan piracy case), claims that World Wide Red Light District and its successor corporation RLD Distribution owe Everhard $474,000 – reduced from an earlier claim of nearly $650,000 when Red Light provided receipts and invoices shortly before trial.
Red Light's lead counsel Larry Isenberg, on the other hand, disputes that figure, claiming that the company's own account books show that Everhard is owed a mere $52,000, which is roughly the amount Macias says Red Light offered Everhard just before trial began – and even that figure is contested! Isenberg responds that his client offered Everhard over $100,000 several months earlier, which offer, Isenberg says, was rejected.
So who won?
"They offered us $50,000 the day before the trial," Macias told AVN, "and we got three times that amount in our win, so I think the jury spoke. It wasn't exactly what we wanted them to say, but it's our win and it's great that Erik was able to stand up for his rights and not to be bullied."
"I saw the result as being a favorable result for Red Light District, because we prevailed on 12 of the 15 claims that had been asserted by the plaintiff in the case," Isenberg countered. "We defeated any claim for punitive damages which plaintiff wanted in this case, and the plaintiff initially was seeking $639,000; that went down to about $475,000 by the time of trial."
The lawsuit stems from an oral contract between World Wide and Everhard, where Everhard agreed to allow World Wide to replicate and distribute 23 of his movies, with Everhard receiving 70% of the net profits and World Wide 30%, at a minimum wholesale price of $8 per unit.
But how much was actually owed?
"The amount that our records showed due and owing was $52,000 and change," said Isenberg, "so those are the numbers, and again, the jury rejected the analysis of their expert accountant Mr. Sills and basically did some of their own math and gave them an additional $89,000. I don't know where that came from, but I'm fairly certain it did not come from the analysis done by Mr. Sills, because the numbers he was putting out were dramatically higher than the $89,000. So I'm not sure how the jury did its math and its analysis but ultimately that's what they came up with. And as I said, the costs, between the experts' fees and the attorneys' fees and other costs of bringing this to trial for the plaintiff more than eats up that additional $89,000."
Au contraire, says Macias.
"This is where it gets so crazy," Macias explained. "We asked them for all the documents. It was a two-tier process. We went in there, we did a physical inventory, August 6, 2006, two days after the lawsuit was filed. With that, we asked them where everything was located, and we discovered that there were 14,000 missing units. Even their own inventory documents showed that there were negative numbers in their inventory; what should have been there and what was there was negative, and what should have been there was positive on something else. We said, okay, we would like to do an audit, and they said okay, and we said we want back-up on everything over $3000, and we want to take a look at all payments to Erik Everhard Entertainment and we want to take a look at the replication. During this audit, we found out that they were overcharging us a dollar for a single disk and $1.75 for a double, which was not part of the original oral contract. And when pushed on it, they said, 'Well, that was because of packaging and storage.' Well, as you know, these disks came already packaged, and then they said, 'Well, it's for printing.' We said, 'Well, you're already billing us for printing.' Then we discovered that David Joseph would write huge amounts of checks to [replicator] Cam and to [art house] Vance Photo and get these huge discounts. Like he would write a check for $100,000 and get work valued at $150,000 or $125,000. So there you would expect the benefits to trickle down. None of that was done."
"The second thing we fought over was, there was cash payments," Macias continued. "As David Joseph called it, 'I gave [Erik Everhard] bricks of cash' – that's a real nice way to call it – '$25,000 at an El Pollo Loco; $15,000 in the hallway on a Saturday' – and there were no receipts. We denied that we got any of those bricks of cash. And the third thing was, there were supposed to be wire transfers that were counted against my client. There were checks written to cash, and they were cashed either by the bookkeeper or [former Red Light partner] Dion Giarrusso, and then they were allegedly wired by Western Union, so you would expect a Western Union receipt. There was none of that."
"Then we had the coup de grace, which I love the best, was David Joseph on the stand testifying, when I asked him, 'Did you get anything else besides cash or checks for the goods sold for Erik Everhard Entertainment?' Answer: 'Yes.' 'What was it?' 'Well, I got cars.' 'Oh, you did?' 'Yes, I did.' 'What type of cars?' 'I got a Cadillac Escalade.' And I said, 'Well, how would you book that?' And he's like, 'Well, this would be for multiple directors.' So I said, 'So, what? Would you give a steering wheel to Erik Everhard and a tire to Mike John?' The jury got the idea. But the problem with that is that we're in Chatsworth and they [the jury] thought $140,000 was a lot of money, and we got them on all counts on the breach of contract and the conversion by Dion Giarusso of the theft in 2003."
(Giarrusso, once a partner with half-brother David Joseph in World Wide Red Light District, was accused in late 2003 of certain improprieties related to the business, and the two parted company, with Joseph retaining control of Red Light.)
Of course, that's not how Isenberg sees it.
"We produced to the other side reams of receipts and invoices and checks, etc. – back-up support, basically – and they finally went down from $639,000 to I guess $475,000," Isenberg recounted, "so that difference, they ultimately acknowledged that we provided support for, but they still went into this trial and argued to the jury during closing that they were entitled to $475,000 more and we, meaning Red Light District, argued to the jury that we only owed $52,000. So what ended up happening is, the plaintiff received $89,000 more than everybody agreed upon, basically, and the way I saw it was a resounding defeat for Mr. Everhard or his company because they could have basically gotten that through a voluntary settlement months ago, and I'm sure it cost them quite a bit of money to bring this case to trial."
And what of the "bricks of cash," as Macias characterized it?
"We paid the plaintiff some cash, sure," Isenberg agreed. "There were company records produced at trial to show that these transactions occurred: Banking records, wire transfer records, journal entries on the company's accounting software that tracked each and every payment."
And the SUV?
"I would not say that that's an accurate analysis of what happened," Isenberg disputed. "There was apparently one instance where we received a vehicle as part of the transaction, but I want to make it very clear that the vehicle was sold for its fair market value, and the proceeds of that sale credited to the various accounts to which payments were due."
One remaining bone of contention is the master tapes and disks used to create saleable product. Macias claims that although his client had an agreement with World Wide not to sell any Everhard product after the day Everhard filed suit, January 4, 2006, that Everhard was not made aware that RLD Distribution had been incorporated and opened for business four days earlier, and Macias argued to the jury that RLD, as World Wide's successor, sold Everhard product for nearly nine months after the date of the agreement.
"Finally, we had to go in there and do a destruction of all of the movies," Macias summarized. "And on top of that, they didn't return any of the masters or DLTs or the VHS. We still don't have them, and they said they destroyed them, but we just don't believe them. There was an entry on their books for a remaster of one of the movies, and you know how this business goes: Why would you remaster something if you're not selling it? That's what I told the jury: 'I'm from Indiana. I don't put my gloves on and my hat on if I don't walk outside.'"
Isenberg flatly denies that claim.
"My understanding is, those [masters] were all returned long ago," he told AVN. "If Red Light has in its possession any of those, I don't see any reason why they would not give them back, but I don't believe Red Light has any such things at this point."
Macias doesn't deny that Everhard could recreate the masters from the source material still in his possession, but he considers it bad faith on RLD's part not to have returned them.
But like so many issues in this suit, the question of whether or not masters were returned remains open ... and with both sides claiming victory here, it's doubtful that a judge and jury will ever have an opportunity to try to sort that out.
And that, as they say, is what makes horse races.
