MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A sober-looking Justin Bieber was released from jail Thursday following his arrest on charges of driving under the influence, driving with an expired license and resisting arrest. Police say they stopped the 19-year-old pop star while he was drag-racing down a Miami Beach street before dawn. Bieber was arrested after police said they saw him heading down a residential street in Miami Beach in a yellow Lamborghini at twice the speed limit. Officers say he had an expired license, was initially not cooperative when he was pulled over and smelled of alcohol. Story: Justin Bieber appears to arrive at Florida jail

Starting off the season 4-0 is a good thing; finishing 1-11 will get you fired in the NFL.
Monday, the Arizona Cardinals wiped the slate clean in the front office, firing general manager Rod Graves and head coach Ken Whisenhunt, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com.
The downfall for the two came with the inability to develop a solid NFL quarterback.
Since the departure of Kurt Warner, the Cardinals have had a revolving door at the signal caller spot and it has ruined any chance of them becoming a playoff contender.
The team has a very good defense, but the offense needs a complete retooling with the exception of Larry Fitzgerald, their talented but neglected wide receiver.
They will be in the market for an offensive mind that could put together a productive unit to complement the defense.

Le Café Richelieu / Angelina Richelieu wingIndoors
Located in the Richelieu wing, a short walk from Napoleon III's apartments, the Café Richelieu offers gourmet treats courtesy of Paris institution Angelina. With terraces overlooking the Cour Napoléon and the Pyramid, the Café Richelieu offers a chance to discover an inventive, gourmet menu in a magnificent setting.
In 1903 the Austrian confectioner Anton Rumpelmayer founded Angelina, named after his daughter-in-law. For more than a century, the tearoom on Rue de Rivoli has become a Parisian gourmet institution, frequented by Proust, Coco Chanel and many other great French fashion designers.
The Café Richelieu, previously the office of the French Minister of Finance (from Napoleon III to 1984), offers the same menu as Angelina. Try their famous "L'Africain" hot chocolate, or the ineffable Mont-Blanc.
Club sandwiches
The menu offers sandwiches, salads, seasonal dishes and a selection of Angelina's pastries: Mont-Blanc, macaroons, Saori, 'Eva' tartlets, crisp vanilla eclairs, pistachio religieuses (puff pastry buns filled with pistachio cream), etc.

Bio-Rad Laboratories released its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Fourth-quarter reported revenues were $573.8 million, up 4.3% compared to $550.2 million reported for the fourth quarter of 2011. On a currency-neutral basis, quarterly revenues increased 6.1% compared to the same period in 2011. Fourth-quarter gross margin was 55.9% compared to 56.5% during the same quarter in 2011.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $47.5 million, or $1.65 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to $59.2 million, or $2.08 per share, respectively, during the same period in 2011. These results include a one-time gain of $4.3 million resulting from the sale of real property.
For the full year, sales were $2,069.2 million compared to $2,073.5 million in 2011. After normalizing for the impact of currency effects, full-year revenues increased 3.6%.
Full-year net income was $169.2 million, or $5.91 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared to $178.2 million, or $6.26 per share, respectively, in 2011. The decrease in net income reflects lower gross margins and an increase in R&D expense. Full-year gross margin was 56.1% compared to 56.8% reported in 2011. Incremental gross profit for 2012 was impacted by additional amortization expense of $10.0 million related to acquisitions. Earnings were favorably impacted by a $16.1 million reduction in the valuation of contingent consideration associated with the Quantalife acquisition as well as an increase in other income resulting from certain investment gains.
"As we had expected, full-year results reflect macroeconomic challenges, which impacted many of our markets. Looking ahead to 2013, we anticipate a similar economic environment," said Norman Schwartz, Bio-Rad's president and CEO.

Medaus Pharmacy Initiates a Nationwide Recall of Certain Pharmacy Products due to Questions Surrounding an Independent Third Party�s Sterility TestingPublish Date: Thu, 05 Sep 2013 15:04:00 -0400
Contact:Consumer:800-526-9183Media205-837-7197FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - September 4, 2013 - Birmingham, Alabama, Medaus Pharmacy is voluntarily recalling certain sterile compounded consumer products (see table) due to our inability to confirm that the quality control testing performed on these specific lots by an independent, third party laboratory was conducted in a manner consistent with the highest standards of excellence we demand from ourselves and on behalf of our patients. Though Medaus received test results indicating that these lots met all safety standards, they are being recalled because the independent testing lab's sterility testing practices as applied to these lots indicate that the product's sterility cannot be confirmed. Therefore, Medaus decided to conduct this voluntary recall out of an abundance of caution.The use of a non-sterile injectable product exposes patients to the risk of contracting serious life- threatening infections. Medaus has not received any reports of adverse events related to the products affected by this recall to date. In fact, Medaus has never in its history experienced a single adverse patient reaction attributable to a failure of Medaus safety standards or quality control.Product NameLot #ExpiryTestosterone CYP 200 mg/mL130508-111/16/2013Lipo injection with lidocaine130510-2611/16/2013Lipo injection with lidocaine130610-2412/7/2013Taurine 50 mg/mL PF130618-6412/15/2013L-Glutathione 200 mg/mL130617-1012/14/2013Pyridoxine HCl 100 mg/mL NS PF130531-3111/27/2013Magnesium CHI 200 mg/mL130307-609/3/2013Sodium ascorbate 500 mg/mL PF130702-112/29/2013Lipo injection with lidocaine130709-681/5/2014Sodium ascorbate 500 mg/mL non- corn PF130613-812/10/2013These products were dispensed between March 12 and July 22nd, 2013 nationwide throughout the United States. We are contacting all patients and doctors offices that received these lots by phone to recall any unused medications from these lots.Medaus is notifying its customers by telephone and email, and is arranging for return of affected products. Health care facilities and customers that have products which are being recalled should stop using the product and call Medaus at 800-526-9183 for instructions on returning the product for a full refund.To return medication or request assistance related to this recall, patients and physicians should contact Medaus Pharmacy at (800) 526-9183 , Monday through Friday, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. CDT.Adverse reactions or quality problems experienced with the use of these products may be reported to FDA's MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program either online, by regular mail or fax.Online: http://www.fda.gov/MedWatch/report.htmMail: use postage-paid, pre-addressed Form FDA 3500 athttp://www.fda.gov/MedWatch/getforms.htmFax: 1-800-FDA-0178This recall is being conducted with the knowledge of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2009 Article IV Consultation with the Republic of KazakhstanPublic Information Notice (PIN) No. 09/91
July 28, 2009
Public Information Notices (PINs) form part of the IMF's efforts to promote transparency of the IMF's views and analysis of economic developments and policies. With the consent of the country (or countries) concerned, PINs are issued after Executive Board discussions of Article IV consultations with member countries, of its surveillance of developments at the regional level, of post-program monitoring, and of ex post assessments of member countries with longer-term program engagements. PINs are also issued after Executive Board discussions of general policy matters, unless otherwise decided by the Executive Board in a particular case.
On July 8, 2009, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation with the Republic of Kazakhstan.1
At the time of the 2008 Article IV consultation, Kazakhstan's economy was slowing in response to the tightening of global liquidity conditions that started in August 2007. Domestic banks' access to international financial markets declined, credit growth stalled, and property prices collapsed following years of rapid gains. High oil prices, however, initially cushioned the impact of the sudden stop in capital inflows, and the economy slowed down to 6 percent by mid-2008 from the double-digit growth rates of earlier years.
The second wave of the global financial crisis and lower oil prices in late 2008 slowed real activity further, and the economy began to contract. A deteriorating current account balance and banks' large external debt repayments put the currency under pressure, and the central bank devalued the tenge by 20 percent against the U.S. dollar in early February.
The slowing economy and the exchange rate devaluation have added to the pressures on bank balance sheets, and as asset quality inevitably deteriorates further, these pressures will only rise. Several banks are now facing solvency issues; two large banks and one smaller institution have stopped making principal repayments, and the banks are now in negotiations with their creditors to restructure their liabilities. The continuing drop in asset prices has also impacted the assets of the pension funds.
The authorities have responded to the growing economic problems with a $10 billion anti-crisis plan, funded from the National Oil Fund, which focuses on recapitalizing banks and supporting economic activity. The anti-crisis plan is being complemented by additional budgetary measures, liquidity support from the central bank, and regulatory measures by the financial supervisory agency. The large stock of public foreign assets built up during the boom years and low public debt put the authorities in a strong position to respond to the crisis. Central bank reserves have stabilized around $20 billion and pressures on the exchange rate have eased following the devaluation.
The economy is expected to contract by 2 percent this year, recovering modestly in 2010 to grow by 2 percent. Lower oil prices will push the current account balance back into a deficit, although with foreign direct investment remaining strong and new bilateral financing emerging the overall balance of payments will remain robust. CPI inflation will remain contained as the weak demand environment limits the ability of producers to pass on higher import costs from the devaluation earlier in the year. The weakening economy and large "anti-crisis" spending will push the fiscal position into a deficit this year, the first since 2000.
Executive Board Assessment
Executive Directors noted that the Republic of Kazakhstan faces significant challenges from ongoing difficulties in the banking sector and the weak global environment. They commended the authorities for their policy response to help shield the economy from the impact of the global recession, including fiscal stimulus made possible by the prudent saving of windfall profits and eased monetary policy. Directors emphasized that the main challenge ahead is to resolve the weaknesses in the banking sector while maintaining an appropriate policy response to the crisis.
Directors believed that a comprehensive solution to the growing problems in the banking sector was needed in order to restore confidence in the system and improve the investment climate. They urged the authorities to promptly deal with the external debt standstills at Bank TuranAlem and Alliance Bank and called for independent assessments of the other large banks. While supporting recent measures to improve the banking resolution framework, Directors called for further action, including providing the Financial Supervision Agency with the legal authority, independence and resources needed to carry out its mandate to intervene early and forcefully when needed. They also emphasized the need to ensure effective operation of the deposit insurance fund. Looking forward, Directors called for strengthened financial sector regulation and supervision, including through improved on and off site supervision and further restrictions on foreign currency lending to unhedged borrowers.
With inflation pressures abating, Directors viewed monetary policy as appropriately geared toward supporting economic activity, including through the reduction in reserve requirements and policy rates, and provision of adequate liquidity. Going forward, they emphasized the importance of maintaining an appropriate balance between keeping inflation on a downward path and supporting the financial sector and economy.
Directors noted staff's assessment that the exchange rate is broadly in line with fundamentals. They agreed that in the current circumstances, and following the step devaluation in February, preserving a stable exchange rate is important for regaining depositor confidence, limiting the risks from the corporate sectors' large foreign exchange exposure, and helping reduce inflation. Nonetheless, Directors saw benefit in moving toward a more flexible exchange rate policy once conditions stabilize.
Directors supported the expansionary fiscal stance for 2009 given the current circumstances. They recommended focusing on effective implementation of spending under the Anti-Crisis Plan, and emphasized the need for transparent monitoring of disbursements through the Samruk-Kazyna Fund. Directors welcomed the intention to maintain a flexible fiscal policy as needed to respond to the crisis, as well as the commitment to return to a fiscal consolidation path in the future.
Directors welcomed the policy initiatives to improve the business climate and promote job creation. They supported the measures to strengthen social safety nets, and recommended directing any additional spending under the Anti-Crisis Plan to these areas, in addition to health, education and infrastructure.
Directors encouraged the authorities to continue working towards meeting their goals under the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative. They urged the authorities to promptly pass the draft Anti-Money Laundering/Combating the Financing of Terrorism bill to help bring the Republic of Kazakhstan's legislation in line with international best practice

If you're hitting the road or the lake for the 4th of July holiday, you might want to fill up your gas tank Sunday instead of Monday.
A 3.5 cent per gallon increase in the state's gas tax starts Monday.
This will give the state of California the highest gas tax in the nation, as the excise tax goes from 36 cents to 39.5 cents a gallon. Taxes will account for 72 cents for every gallon that you pump into your tank.
The increase was approved by the state Board of Equalization in February. It's part of an annual tax balancing act to ensure revenue neutrality.
The gas tax swap legislation dates back to 2010. It lowered the sale tax on gasoline and increased the excise tax. The law requires the annual sales and excise taxes paid on gasoline to remain revenue neutral, assuring the tax burden on consumers is the same.
In 2011 and 2012, the price of gasoline greatly and unexpectedly outpaced declines in consumption. Higher gasoline prices mean the Board of Equalization must adjust the excise tax to make up for the sales tax loss and achieve the revenue neutrality mandated by legislation approved in 2010.
Most drivers we spoke with in Red Bluff weren't aware of the increased tax. None of them liked it.
The legislature gave the tax board the authority to raise the excise tax by a simple majority vote.
If a tax had gone before voters as a special tax, it would have needed a two-thirds majority.

Integrated fly control on poultry ranches

California Agriculture 29(5):8-10.
Significant reductions of seven species of flies breeding in poultry manure were attained over a 20-month period through procedures that favored the natural increase of predatory and scavenger arthropods and by periodic inoculative releases of four parasitic Hymenoptera. Parasite releases during springtime had an apparently greater direct effect on fly reduction than did similar releases in the summer. Autumn releases were not evaluated. A minimum manure height of 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) was considered essential for minimum fly production. The importance of manure stability and importations of additional beneficial species are also discussed.

Last week: It was a crazy week by all accounts for the Wildcats leading up to its in-state showdown with Arizona State. Significant contributors Paige Weber and Courtney Karst both looked at-times to be injured in practice although each would be able to play against the Sun Devils and later on Sunday vs. New Mexico State. Against ASU, Arizona took the first set closely, then never looked back as it swept the Devils 3-0. An extra bonus was getting the dominating win in a match televised by FSN. There was no rest for the weary come Saturday however as the Cats bused out to Las Cruces, N.M. to get set for its final non-conference match of 2010 against the Aggies. In the NMSU match, UA dropped the first set, before figuring things out and winning the next three to improve its overall record to 12-4 and earn its third true road win of the season.
In the rankings: For the fourth consecutive week, the Wildcats just can't seem to crack the AVCA National Top 25 poll, finishing tied for first among teams receiving votes. Saturday's opponent, Oregon, is currently ranked No. 13. The Pac-10 again has six teams ranked in the poll. In the first edition of the RPI rankings, UA is 28th overall, through the polling seems a bit skewed as is always the case early in the season.
Head Coach Dave Rubio …is in his 19th season as head coach of Arizona. In that time span, Rubio has a record of 352-204. Rubio also boasts a career record of 474-270 in 24+ career years. In the last ten seasons, Rubio has guided the Wildcats to five Sweet 16s, four Elite Eights and to Arizona's first-ever Final Four. His teams have won over 200 matches during this ten-year stretch, including 16 in the NCAA Tournament, which is six more than the previous 14 postseason teams combined. Rubio is assisted by associate head coach Steve Walker, assistant coach Allison Napier and volunteer coach Melissa Ohta.
Active Wins Leader in the Pac: Coach Rubio is the active leader in Conference wins with 352. The "dean" of Pac-10 head coaches, Rubio's been at the helm of UA seven years longer than the second longest tenured coach (Cal's Rich Feller). Rubio also owns a conference winning percentage of .634 in the always tough Pac-10 and has guided the Cats to 13 NCAA appearances.
Chart the Hitting Percentage: If you were to focus on only of one the multitude of stats in predicting whether Arizona will be victorious on the evening, look to the hitting percentage. This season in matches where UA has had the higher percentage, the Cats are a perfect 12-0. In cases where they trail their opponents in overall hitting percentage, Arizona is 0-4. This stat was again on display last weekend against Arizona State and New Mexico State as the Wildcats outhit each and took the victory.
COBRA Magazine Preseason All-Americans: Tiffany Owens was named to this season's COBRA Magazine National Player of the Year Watch List. Owens currently leads the Cats in both kills and digs with 213 and 157, respectively. After starting off 2010 relatively slowly, Owens has been UA's catalyst, leading the team in kills in four of the last five matches including three of those wins where she hit for 20 or more kills. Also garnering praise from COBRA was hitter Whitney Dosty who was named to the publication's All-American Preseason Second-Team list.
Watch TO's Double-Double's: One stat of note during the 2009 season was Tiffany Owens' double-doubles. When Owens amassed double-digit kills and digs, the Wildcats usually had success. Currently, Owens has six double-double performances, including three in her last four matches. Her total is good for second place in the Pac-10. On Saturday against NMSU, Owens had another stellar outing with 20 kills and 12 digs while hitting .280.
StackJack: She definitely got-that-swag so we'll try to come up with a new note title each week for middle blocker Cursty Jackson. Jackson, a transfer from UNLV and originally from Los Angeles, has been Arizona's top middle through 15 matches this season. No. 13 currently leads the Cats in blocks with 51 block assists and 15 solo rejections and hitting percentage at .404 to go along with 147 kills. Her quick set attacking ability with setter Paige Weber is an asset the Cats will look to exploit.
Learning on the Fly: It has got to be quite the whirlwind experience for freshman Maddie Lozano. Originally expected to be redshirting the season and playing the outside hitter position, Lozano was thrust into the starting lineup due to a series of injuries and players leaving the program. The Roseville, Calif. product has been taking a crash course in front row-middle blocking as she tries to prepare for conference play. If anything, this experience will make her that much more versatile in years to come. To date, Lozano has 49 total blocks and 39 kills in 54 sets played.
Dosty Cracks the Whip: Outside Hitter Whitney Dosty has been arguably one of the nation's most powerful hitters during her time with the Cats. This season, though, she has been able to find better accuracy and thus is second on the team in kills with 211. Her kill-to-set ratio is 3.70 and has a hitting percentage of .212. She's one of four Wildcats to appear in every set this season for UA, joining senior Paige Weber, Tiffany Owens and junior Cursty Jackson.
Nicholson Earning The Minutes: Freshman libero Candace Nicholson has been earning some serious playing time as of late for the Wildcats. The Long Beach, Calif. native currently shares time with senior Danielle Holloway as UA's main back row defensive player. Her ability will surely help Arizona as the season progresses. Nicholson is second on the team in digs, behind only Tiffany Owens, with 133. Nicholson has led UA in digs for the past two matches with a career-high 18 coming against ASU on Friday.
Acquiring Some Help: UA was helped two weekends ago with Tarryn Luafalemana and Kaylen Bannister returning off the proverbial DL. Both players will look to factor in at the middle blocker position. Luafalemana worked in sparingly against Cal and Stanford, but look for Bannister, UA's most defensive and physical blocker, to continue working her way back into the lineup after sitting out training camp and the start of the season due to birthing a son in August.
Quite the Streak: Paige Weber has put together quite an impressive streak, playing in every set of her Wildcat career. That amounts to 383 consecutive sets played over three plus seasons. The Wildcats will look to Weber's durability again this season to take them to the postseason. Her active streak is currently third on the UA all-time consecutive sets played list. Weber moved past Terry Lauchner on the all-time matches started list with 107 against New Mexico State.
Digs Leader: Tiffany Owens gets most of her praise on the offensive end, as she often times sparks UA rallies, and is the team leader in kills. But her most vital asset to the team might be her defensive prowess. Owens, who passes in all six rotations, currently leads the team in digs with 145 and is essential to the teams serve-receive. She added 12 digs Sunday night vs. NMSU to go along with her 20 kills.
Karst Holds the Key: We said last week if Karst were to play well, it would likely bode well for the Wildcats' chances against Arizona State and New Mexico State. Well our prediction held true, as the Colorado native notched double-digit kills against each and UA won both matches. Look for the blonde bomber to continue to provide UA with addition scoring opportunities from the outside. This season she has 123 kills on .224 hitting.
A Few New Faces: In 2010, Arizona Volleyball welcomes in six newcomers to the line-up. Freshman middle blockers Madeline Lozano and Tarryn Luafalemana will contend for immediate playing time along the front row while freshmen liberos Candace Nicholson and Emily Helm look to provide defensive depth. Transfers Cursty Jackson (previously mentioned) and Marketa Hanzlova are also new on the roster for Arizona.
Pac-10 Preseason Poll: In this year's Pac-10 Coaches Poll, Arizona was slated to finish fourth overall behind Stanford (1), Washington (2) and USC (3). It's the Wildcats highest poll position since the 2005 season. Seven Conference teams were ranked among the AVCA preseason poll. Currently six are in this week's top 25.
Up Next: The Wildcats return home next weekend to play host to USC and UCLA. UA will face the Bruins first on Friday, Oct. 15 then go up against the Trojans the following night. Both matches will start at 7 p.m.

Domestic dispute leads to mud, manure slingingStaff Report | December 12,2012WEST HAVEN — A romantic dispute between two women on a dairy farm on Route 22A left one woman's minivan full of mud and manure and the other charged with a pair of misdemeanor criminal offenses, according to Vermont State Police.
State Police were called to a barn at 2474 Route 22A Tuesday afternoon for a reported fight.
At the farm, Jessica Drake told police she was shoved head-first into a pipe by Laura Richards, 39, and later left the barn to find the seats, dashboard and other interiors of her minivan filled with mud and manure.
Drake said Richards accused her of having an affair with her husband during the confrontation which other workers at the farm say they witnessed, according to a police affidavit.
Richards was arrested and charged with simple assault and unlawful mischief. She pleaded innocent to those charges on Wednesday and was released on court-ordered conditions.MORE IN This Just InIve written much lately about the need for better media literacy and the importance of vetting...

It seems to be well-known that the pseudoeffective cone $\overline{\text{Eff}}(X)$ of a normal variety $X$ does not contain lines through the origin. How can it be proved? Is there a reference?
First, whether a class is pseudoeffective or not depends only on its numerical equivalence class. (The pseudoeffective cone is the closure of the cone of big classes, and $D$ is big if and only if $nD$ is numerically equivalent to $A + E$, where $A$ is an ample divisor on $X$, $E$ is an effective divisor on $X$ and $n > 0$ is an integer.)
Now suppose a class $\beta$ was such that both $\beta$ and $-\beta$ were pseudoeffective. Then $\beta \cdot a_1 \cdots a_k \geq 0$ and $\leq 0$ for any ample classes $a_1, \dots, a_k$. So $\beta \cdot a_1 \cdots a_k = 0$. But any divisor class can be written as a difference of ample classes, so $\beta \cdot \delta_1 \cdots \delta_k = 0$ for all divisor classes $\delta_1, \dots, \delta_k$. Thus, $\beta = 0$.
The standard reference for this material is Lazarsfeld's Positivity in Algebraic Geometry. I don't have a copy handy, but I'm $> 99\%$ certain that this fact is proved somewhere in Volume I.
Edit: I should add that this assumes that $X$ is projective. I don't know of any results without this assumption.

Cab Calloway: Minnie the Moocher

Cab Calloway (vocals),
R.Q. Dickerson, Lammar Wright, Reuben Reeves (trumpet); De Priest Wheeler, Harry White (trombone); Arville Harris, Andrew Brown (clarinet, alto sax); Walter "Foots" Thomas (tenor sax, baritone sax), Earres Prince (piano), Morris White (banjo), Jimmy Smith (tuba), Leroy Maxey (drums).
Composed by Cab Calloway, Clarence Gaskill & Irving Mills.
Recorded: New York, March 3, 1931
Rating: 93/100 (learn more)
The word hep, signifying "in the know," had appeared by the early 1900s, but its greatest vogue came during the 1930s, when hepcat lingo was codified in Cab Calloway's Hepster's Dictionary (1936) by the leather-lunged, hugely popular singing & dancing bandleader. In his greatest hit, "Minnie the Moocher," Cab's jive so masterfully veiled references to cocaine and opium that even Hollywood came running. By the time he revisited her for The Blues Brothers (1980), Cab had been mooching off Minnie for half a century, but neither he nor his audiences ever seemed to tire of the Moocher's infectiously nonsensical call-&-response scatting.

Time and opportunities ran out for Jose Luis Real as head coach for Chivas de Guadalajara. The 4-0 loss in the "Clasico" against Club America sealed his fate as Guadalajara president Jorge Vergara said farewell to Real and announced former Mexican National Team coach Ricardo LaVolpe as the head of the Rebaño Sagrado.
According to ESPN Deportes, Chivas made the announcement at mid-day and have not officially signed LaVolpe as the new coach. However, LaVolpe did travel to Guadalajara to meet with the team and is expected to sign today.
In 13 weeks at the helm, Real did not have a bad tournament. Chivas is currently in the 10th position of La Liga MX with 17 points, same as Xoloitzcuintles and Atlas FC. However, Real not only lost the "Clasico," he lost it in the worst way Chivas have fallen to their bitter rival in 70 years. Vergara publicly announced changes on Monday, of which now included replacing Real.
LaVolpe has made a career in Mexico playing his last four years as a professional with Atlante FC then Oaxtepec before becoming that team's coach. In Mexico he has managed eight teams with one league title. He managed two teams in Argentina, including the legendary Boca Juniors. At the national team level he took Mexico to the Germany 2006 World Cup where he lost in the Round of 16 to his native Argentina. He briefly managed Costa Rica but was dismissed due to poor performance.
Chivas de Guadalajara has not performed well in the last decade falling into relegation danger this tournament. Since 2011, the team has gone through six coaches. Chivas have not reached the playoffs since the Apertura 2012 when the team was under Johan Cruyff's chosen John Van't Schip. LaVolpe becomes the 20th coach to take over the helm of one of Mexico's most popular clubs since Vergara took over as president of the institution.
Once LaVolpe signs he will take over the team and lead them through week 14 of the Clausura 2014 against CF Pachuca. LaVolpe is expected to lead the team through the Apertura 2014.

By Beth Potier, Media RelationsMay 16, 2012
A de-icer spreading system that uses GPS technology to map sensitive watersheds and allows transportation officials to apply specific de-icers on roadways in environmentally sensitive areas won first place in the 2012 Whittemore School of Business and Economics Paul J. Holloway Prize Innovation-to-Market competition – the oldest business plan competition in the state and one of the first in the nation – Wednesday, May 9, 2012.
"The Holloway competition is both the epitome and the progenitor of entrepreneurship at the University of New Hampshire," President Mark W. Huddleston said.
Established in 1988 by Paul J. Holloway's family, the competition is designed to stimulate entrepreneurship. It is open to all university system graduate and undergraduate students who have a proposal for bringing an innovative product or service to market. It helps students gain first-hand experience in commercializing new products and services and provides access to faculty advisors and industry experts.
Graduating MBA students Andrew Jaccoma of Dover and Olha Johnson of Manchester won first place for their Sensible Spreader System, a plan to use GPS technology to allow transportation officials to specify the best type of de-icer to use on a particular roadway. They competed against five other finalists in the championship round.
"In talking to industry specialists, we learned about the I-93 expansion project as well as the chloride-impaired waterways that surround it. We learned that NHDOT was looking for ways to reduce its chloride impact on certain sections of the roadway. Having a background in the maritime industry, I was very familiar with the capabilities of GPS, and integrating those capabilities into the winter road maintenance industry seemed like a natural progression," Jaccoma said.
The Sensible Spreader System uses an integration of GPS mapping technology and mechanical spreader system that allows the driver of a truck spreading de-icer to focus on the road while the GPS-based spreader system applies the de-icer best suited to the particular location and environment.
The system will identify chloride-sensitive watersheds and automatically switch to an environmentally friendly de-icing alternative. Currently, the nonchloride alternative deicers are extremely expensive so the Sensible Spreader System would allow the user to apply nonchloride de-icers, such as potassium acetate, only in the necessary areas and allow the use of traditional de-icers elsewhere.
"The Holloway competition was a tremendous experience. In looking at MBA programs throughout New England, one of my prerequisites was that the program needed to offer education in entrepreneurship. Both the elective class that I took with Dr. Robert Gough as well as the Holloway competition exceeded my expectations in providing experiences and in developing valuable skills that I feel will serve me very well in the future," Jaccoma said.
The winners receive $10,000 in cash, NH-ICC/Pierce Atwood services up to $50,000, PixelMEDIA award (100 hours of services valued at $15,000) and a year subscription to the Wall Street Journal. Holloway contestants competed for more than $85,000 in prize money and consulting services provided by Paul and Anna Grace Holloway, the Paul J. Holloway Prize Fund, the Albin Entrepreneurship Fund, the Nelson Fund for Business Innovation, PixelMEDIA, and the New Hampshire Innovation Commercialization Center.
A number of previous Holloway prize competitors have started their own companies. Those companies include Chaoticom, UNH's first spin-out company; Joseph's Gourmet Pasta and Sauces, which was recently sold to Nestle; Souhegan Valley Motorsports of Milford; Itaconix, the world leader in polymers made from itaconic acid and a product that was developed at UNH; and Regaalo, which placed second in the 2011 competition.
"These successes are a real tribute to Paul and Anna Grace Holloway, the university, the faculty and staff and all who have helped these young men and women pursue their entrepreneurial dreams," Huddleston said.
The other 2012 awardees are as follows:
Second Place
GearFreedom provides an online marketplace where local and regional sports equipment shops are centralized, making it easy for a user to research, reserve, and rent gear.

HEADLINES : Michigan
Michigan government budget looks stable as forecasters meet in Lansing
LANSING, MI - It appears Michigan's state government budget situation is remaining stable - but there are differing opinions on some specifics headed into a key conference scheduled for today at the Capitol.
There's no doubt that figuring out the next spending plan for Michigan's state government will be a high priority for Gov. Rick Snyder and state lawmakers in 2013. Some of the revenue projection information they use to build that budget plan will be agreed upon at today's conference featuring officials from the Senate Fiscal Agency, House Fiscal Agency and the Snyder administration.
It's possible there will be some additional money to spend in some areas when the Snyder administration details its next budget plan, which likely will happen in February.

Presented by: Adrian Shanker, President, Equality Pennsylvania
LGBTQIA Studies: Issues and Opportunities for Research
While not all college students have the option of taking classes that focus specifically on LGBTQIA studies, there are a number of ways that students can explore these topics in assignments for more general courses. This presentation will identify some of the key questions and issues in the field of LGBTQIA studies, and will help audience members to brainstorm and develop topics they can use for papers or projects in their own classes. Participants will also be introduced to some of the best resources for LGBTQIA research on the Web and in the U.S., and are welcome to discuss any ideas (no matter how general or specific) for LGBTQIA-related research they may wish to pursue in their future studies.
Presented by: Dr. Christianne Gadd

Presented by : Rabbi Seth Goren
HIV and Stigma: The reason why you are not going to come to this presentation:
This session will provide a brief HIV 101 education with up-to-date statistics on HIV in the LGBT community, and offer an honest dialogue about the role of stigma in the HIV epidemic.
Presented by: Liz Roth, St. Luke's Community Health Department - AIDS Service Center and Robert Pompa, Lehigh Valley Health Network - AIDS Activites Office
Intersecting Identities:
This presentation will focus on intersectionality within the LGBTQ community. Specifically on how to, in your own college community, understand different identities and making sure these community members feel included in the discussion when talking about queer issues.
Presented by: Luis Garcia and Mel Ferrara
From Idea to Reality: Planning Successful Programs:
Many times we have great ideas for outreach or celebration programs. We work hard, get the details together, get the word out, and BAM, few people attend. This session will focus on how to plan successful programs by providing examples of timelines and steps to take.
Presented by: Gene Kelly, M.S. Associate Dean of Intercultural Development Director of Gender and Sexuality Programs Lafayette College
Local and State Safe Schools Policies:
Policy Briefing on Lehigh Valley and State Anti-Bullying Regulations: Participants will gain insight into current and proposed safe schools policies and legislation. The audience will learn tools to advocate for stronger policies and how to join policy with programs and action.
Presented by: Jason Landau Goodman, Executive Director The Pennsylvania Student Equality Coalition and Ashish Kalani
From Random Stereotype to Full Integration:
LGBTQI Issues and the Media: Media constantly surrounds us, from television and magazines to blogs and the 24 hour news cycle. How have LGBTQI individuals been portrayed in the past and today? This session will involve viewing media clips and will be mostly discussion-based.

THE NEW SEASON/DANCE; Dancing Onstage, Out of Doors, Even in a Dream
By JENNIFER DUNNING
Published: September 7, 2003
All dates are subject to change.
DANCENOW/NYC -- The intention of this sprawling series is to celebrate dance and the community, as its founders put it. But as it has grown, over nine years, Dancenow has become unpredictably fringy. It also serves as an unpretentious guide to what is happening in dance south of 14th Street. The choreography is wildly varied. The heart of the event is the ''Base Camp'' program, which features dance by artists including Paul Matteson and Roger C. Jeffrey (Monday), Wil Swanson and Lisa Gonzales (Friday) and Robert Battle, Ivy Baldwin, Chris Elam and the Young Dancemakers (Saturday). Monday-Saturday. Joyce SoHo, 155 Mercer Street. (718) 850-2488. www.dancenownyc.org
EVENING STARS FESTIVAL: TWYLA THARP DANCE -- Ms. Tharp takes us back to a more innocent time in dance with her 1970 ''The One Hundreds,'' a piece meant to be performed in part by amateur dancers, who will be drawn here from politics, literature and the visual arts. Tuesday. Battery Park, State and Pearl Streets, Lower Manhattan, (212) 219-9401. www.lmcc.net
BILL T. JONES/ARNIE ZANE DANCE COMPANY -- The troupe begins its 20th year with a retrospective at the Kitchen, where it all began, followed early next year with an engagement at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, which gave the company its first major commission. Zane, who died in 1988, was a short, stubby white man who specialized in irony. Mr. Jones, who was Zane's partner off as well as on the stage, is a tall slender black man who believes in getting to the heart of things in his dances. Short pieces created by each and both of the men in the 1970's and 80's will be shown in this first season. The larger-scale and more recent works in the academy's season sound provocative, including the premiere of ''Reading, Mercy and the Artificial Nigger,'' drawn from a short story by Flannery O'Connor. Also on the bill are ''The Phantom Project: Still/Here Looking On,'' which uses sections of Mr. Jones's 1994 examination of mortality as a jumping-off point for a choreographic look back and forward, and ''Another Another History of Collage,'' the last collaboration by Zane and Mr. Jones. Tuesday-Sept. 20. The Kitchen, 512 West 19th Street. (212) 255-5793. www.thekitchen.org. Feb. 3-7. Brooklyn Academy of Music. Also Feb. 20-22. New Jersey Performing Arts Center. www.billtjones.org
DANCER'S NIGHT OUT: RENEE REDDING JONES -- This ingenious series is devoted to dances created by vibrant performers. Ms. Jones, whose credits include the companies of Ronald K. Brown, Bebe Miller and David Rousseve, will present ''Nudging Toward Normal,'' on a program shared with Karen Graham, who has danced with David Gordon and Mikhail Baryshnikov, and Heather Kravas, currently performing with Jennifer Allen and DD Dorvillier and Peter Jacobs's Human Future Dance Corps. Wednesday-Saturday. Dance Theater Workshop.
HEADLONG DANCE THEATER -- From Philadelphia, this bright and brash young Bessie Award-winning company will take a look at MTV culture and Dante in ''Britney's Inferno,'' a piece presumably inspired by Ms. Spears that The Philadelphia Inquirer described as having ''a hellish heart.'' Sept. 17-20. Dance Theater Workshop.
NEW YORK DANCE AND PERFORMANCE AWARDS -- This ceremony, at which Bessie Awards are given in just about every category of dance and performance-art activity, is open to everyone, though it is fundamentally less a public event than a jubilant and sometimes poignant celebration of a community. This year promises to be extra-memorable, however, given that the hosts are Julie Atlas Muz and Jennifer Miller, rightly described by event organizers as ''two of New York's most outrageous hotpots.'' Sept. 19. Joyce Theater.
DANCING IN THE PARKS: RENNIE HARRIS PUREMOVEMENT -- Mr. Harris and his company have successfully made a sleek yet gritty new dance form by blending traditional modern and hip-hop dance. Performances of ''Students of the Asphalt Jungle,'' a piece derived from old and new choreography, will inaugurate an outdoor dance series in Coffey Park in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn. Once a proud neighborhood of shipyards, Red Hook, despite some signs of gentrification, has not forgotten its colorful past, keeping it alive with eloquent dance by innovative choreographers like Mr. Harris, much of it presented by Dancing in the Streets. Sept. 20-21. Coffey Park, Dwight Street between Verona Street and Visitation Place, Red Hook, Brooklyn, (212) 625-3505.
MOMIX -- Moses Pendleton's dream adventure, the company called Momix, will perform its classics ''Baseball,'' ''Opus Cactus'' and ''Passion,'' whose themes are the great American pastime, the American West and its desert creatures, and love. Sept. 23-Oct. 12. Joyce Theater. Momix opens a Joyce season that runs through Aug. 21 and features performances by 37 companies and individuals, and still counting. The troupes performing this fall and spring include Garth Fagan Dance (Nov. 11-23), Maria Benitez Teatro Flamenco (Nov. 25-30); Les Ballets Jazz de Montréal (Dec. 2-7); Compagnie Marie Chouinard (Dec. 9-13); Savion Glover (Dec. 16-Jan. 4); James Sewell Ballet of Minneapolis (Jan. 20-25); Buglisi/Foreman Dance (Jan. 27-Feb. 1); Doug Varone and Dancers (Feb. 3-8); Compania Maria Pages (Feb. 24-29); Stephen Petronio Company (March 23-28); North Carolina Dance Theater (April 13-18); Philadanco (May 18-23), and BalletMet Columbus (May 25-30). Momix will also perform Jan. 25 at the Performing Arts Center at Purchase College, Purchase, N.Y., (914) 251-6200, and April 30-May 2 at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center.

There are two main types of buyers. Wholesale buyers purchase merchandise directly from manufacturers and resell it to retail firms, commercial establishments, and other institutions. Retail buyers purchase goods from wholesalers (and occasionally from manufacturers) for resale to the general public. In either case, buyers must understand their customers' needs and be able to purchase goods at an appropriate price and in sufficient quantity. Sometimes a buyer is referred to by the type of merchandise purchased—for example, jewelry buyer or toy buyer. Government buyers have similar responsibilities but need to be especially sensitive to concerns of fairness and ethics since they use public money to make their purchases. There are approximately 408,060 buyers and purchasing agents currently working in the United States.

- time series analysis
Aims To investigate changes in population smoking prevalence in jurisdictions which have implemented comprehensive smoke-free legislation, taking into account long-term trends in smoking behaviour.
Design Interrupted time series analysis of population-level survey data using segmented regression.
Setting Twenty-one countries, American states or Canadian provinces which have implemented comprehensive smoke-free legislation.
Participants Respondents sampled in large representative surveys of smoking prevalence.
Measurements For each jurisdiction, segmented regression models quantify any upwards or downwards trend in smoking prevalence prior to the introduction of smoke-free legislation, any immediate change in the level of smoking prevalence at the time smoke-free legislation was introduced, and any change in the trend in smoking prevalence post-legislation compared to the pre-legislation period.
Findings In all but three locations there was a statistically significant decline in smoking prevalence prior to the introduction of smoke-free legislation. In two locations, Washington and the Republic of Ireland, there was an immediate decline in the level of smoking prevalence at the introduction of legislation. In six American states there was a significant change in the rate of decline in smoking prevalence, with smoking prevalence declining more steeply in the post-legislation period compared to the pre-legislation period. No change in the level or trend of population smoking prevalence was seen in 13 of the 21 locations studied.
Conclusions The introduction of comprehensive smoke-free legislation has increased the rate at which smoking prevalence was declining in some locations, but in the majority of jurisdictions had no measureable impact on existing trends in smoking prevalence.

NEW YORK POST…– The Moldovan blonde spotted with the captain of the shipwrecked Costa Concordia, Francesco Schettino, on the night of the disaster, told Italian investigators she is in love with him.
"Yes, it's true. I am in love with Captain Schettino," Domnica Cemortan, 25, told prosecutors, Italian newspaper La Stampa reported Thursday.
Cemortan, who has joint Moldovan and Romanian citizenship, previously said she was not Schettino's lover, saying he was faithful to his wife… (more)
EDITOR: We recall how an airline pilot who improperly had his children in the cockpit caused a crash. Was Schettino showing off to his girl friend when he took the his ship off course? There is something very much wrong with Carnival Cruise Lines that such shenanigans could take place with impunity. We would not sail with them.
There are so called 'acts of God.' This clearly was an act of human failing. From the various reports, clearly 'safety first' was not the foremost concern of the cruise company.
We recently took a cruise on a Holland American Line ship. Every passenger was required to be at his or her lifeboat station within two hours of sailing!

Zach Wright's home run in the 10th completed ECU's come from behind win.
May 7, 2011
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -East Carolina (29-16, 10-9) scored six runs in the ninth, five with two-outs, to send the Conference USA series opener against Marshall (17-25, 4-12) into extra innings before Zach Wright belted the game-winning home run to leadoff the 10th giving the Pirates a 9-8 come from behind win over the Herd at Appalachian Power Park Friday night.
With the game knotted at eight going to the 10th, Wright sent a first pitch offering from Josh King over the left field wall on a no-doubter home run giving the Pirates their first lead of the game. For Wright it was his lone hit of the evening, 11th home run of the season and third round tripper in which the Pirates took the lead in their final at-bat (Memphis and UAB).
After ECU took a 9-8 lead in the top half of the 10th, Marshall's game tying rally was halted when James Lavinskas' line drive was caught by a diving Austin Homan at first base securing the win with the potential game-tying run on second base in Rhett Stafford.
Brad Mincey improved to 5-2 on the year recording his fifth win out of the bullpen where he tossed 2.0 shutout innings allowing three hits, one walk and striking out one. Pirate starter Mike Wright had his shortest outing of the year working 4.0 innings where he gave up a season-high six runs (all earned) on a season-high nine hits. The 6-foot-5 right-hander also struck out five and walked two.
Freshman Austin Chrismon halted Marshall's potential offensive explosion in the fifth entering the game with the bases loaded and no outs and promptly striking out Gray Stafford before getting Thor Meeks to ground out to short and Eric Semeniuk to pop up to first to end the threat. In all, he worked two frames allowing one run (earned) on two hits. Mike Anderson worked a scoreless seventh, while freshman Drew Reynolds made his collegiate pitching debut tossing the eighth frame where he gave up a two-out solo home run to Rhett Stafford.
King, Marshall's sixth hurler on the night, suffered the loss and fell to 2-2 on the year. Aaron Blair tossed six shutout innings allowing seven hits and fanning a career-best six batters before being lifted for Joe Hollowell, who started the seventh. Hollowell worked two-third's of an inning passing the ball off to Austin Pratt in the seventh, who allowed two runs (both unearned) on one hit in 1.1 innings. Shane Farrell was touched for four runs (all earned) on one hit with two walks in two-third's of an innings, while Ian Kadish did not record an out in his 20th appearance of the season where he allowed two runs (both earned) on three hits.
Trailing 8-2 going to the ninth, ECU tied the game at eight after scoring six runs on five hits. With the bases loaded and one out, Jack Reinheimer pushed across Homan on a fielder's choice cutting the lead to five, 8-3. Philip Clark drew a two-out walk loading the bases for pinch hitter freshman Jonathan Holt who ripped two-RBI single to center that scored Wright and Reinheimer pulling ECU within three, 8-5.
The rally continued when Ben Fultz singled to left plating Clark and Corey Thompson delivered an RBI single to left center scoring Holt from second base to pull within one, 8-7. After a Herd pitching change, Trent Whitehead singled through the right side scoring Fultz to tie the game at eight.
In the bottom half of the ninth with two outs, Justin Maynard tried to score from first base on Victor Ramos double to left, but was thrown out at the plate on a perfect relay from Reinheimer to Wright ending the game-winning threat.
Marshall jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the first inning thanks to an RBI single by Kenny Socorro that scored Ramos and a two RBI single to right center by Gray Stafford that pushed across Socorro and his brother, Rhett Stafford.
The Herd padded their lead with another three-spot in the fifth for a 6-0 advantage. Isaac Ballou legged out an opening frame triple to left field a scored on an infield single by Socorro. Rhett Stafford and Victor Gomez followed with base hits to load the bases for pinch hitter Nathan Gomez, Victor's younger brother, who drew a walk scoring Socorro. The final run came when Meeks ground out to short off Chrismon with one out.
Down by seven in the eighth, ECU scratched across a pair of runs cutting the lead to five, 7-2. Wright reached on an error by Gray Stafford at third and landed on third base when reached on another error in the frame, this time by Ramos putting runners in scoring position with no outs. Clark, who was 3-for-5 on the night, singled home Wright for ECU's first run and Mike Ussery walked to load the bases for Fultz' sac fly to left that plated McDonald to cap the scoring.
Nine different Pirates recorded hits on the night and were led by Clark and Whitehead's three-hit performance. Thompson, who extended his hit streak to 10 games in the first, added a pair of base knocks for his 13th multi-hit game of the year. Wright scored a team-best three runs, while Fultz and Holt each drove in a pair of runs.
The two teams will meet back on the diamond Saturday, May 7 with a 5 p.m. (EDT) first pitch scheduled, which was moved up two hours due to potential rain in the area later in the evening. A pair of left-handers will square off in game two with ECU sending Kevin Brandt (5-2, 2.19 ERA) to the hill against Mike Mason (2-3, 4.70 ERA).

Before Barack Obama was elected, the village of Arroyo Seco (just north of Taos) in New Mexico was celebrating independence with a unique 4th of July Parade. But in 2008, everyone "upped the ante" and the parade included more political floats, in the hope that Obama would be elected.
In 2009 I reissued this book to celebrate Obama's presidency and the regime change we all hoped was underway.
This is a reissue of the 2009 edition with a twist: a postscript added in 2010 that questions just how far we've actually come.
This book is a "gem" just like Arroyo Seco. And because of its focus on Obama (in the floats and the shining faces), it's a moment you won't soon forget.
