An elbow injury is keeping 2013 Junior U.S. champion Bailie Key out of commission for this year's U.S. Championships.
"With the 100% undeviating advice and support of those we trust and respect the most, together with Bailie, we decided it best that she forego this year's Championships," reads a statement posted by Texas Dreams Gymnastics on its website, where Key trains under Kim Zmeskal and Chris Burdette. "Letting her safety along with 'big picture' goals guide us, it became an obvious decision, although not an easy one."
After skipping last weekend's Secret U.S. Classic in Chicago to allow herself time to recover from the minor elbow injury, Key will now turn toward 2015, the all-important year before the Olympic Games, and her first as a senior.
The blonde Texan, who first turned heads as one of the youngest competitors at the 2011 U.S. Championships, has steadily built a reputation as one of the U.S.'s top contenders for the 2016 Olympic team. After finishing fourth at the 2012 Junior U.S. Championships, Key arrived at the same competition in 2013 ready to win, and did. She made a big impression at the Pacific Rim Championships earlier this year as well, winning the junior all-around title and two of the four events in event finals.
On a World level, her artistic new floor routine and oh-so-clean lines sets her apart and marks her as a potential world frontrunner from the Class of '99, many of whom will be competing at next week's Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing (CHN).
Though it's no doubt a disappointment to miss out on the national championships, Key shouldn't despair: Jordyn Wieber, who injured her ankles on the first day of competition at the 2010 Junior U.S. Championships, dejectedly scratched from the meet. She came back in 2011 to win the senior U.S. title as well as the World all around title, positioning herself as a lock for the 2012 Olympic team.
If she and her coaches had insisted on competing injured, you never know how the story might have turned out.

Script FTP is great.
I have made with it some automated transfer scripts for my clients. In some cases files are very large and transfer takes 0.5-1 hour. It would be nice to have some progress indicator on command line. Now it simply shows "Downloading...." and then user has no idea how long it takes or either if the whole system has blocked. Very good would be style:
"Downloading 15 MB/125 MB"
Excellent would be if there is also estimated remaining time at the end.
I hope that this feature does not exist, since I did not found it.

Handschin, C; Blättler, S; Roth, A; Looser, R; Oscarson, M; Kaufmann, M R; Podvinec, M; Gnerre, C; Meyer, U A (2004). The evolution of drug-activated nuclear receptors: one ancestral gene diverged into two xenosensor genes in mammals. Nuclear Receptor, 2(1):7.
View at publisher
BACKGROUND: Drugs and other xenobiotics alter gene expression of cytochromes P450 (CYP) by activating the pregnane X receptor (PXR) and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) in mammals. In non-mammalian species, only one xenosensor gene has been found. Using chicken as a model organism, the aim of our study was to elucidate whether non-mammalian species only have one or two xenosensors like mammals. RESULTS: To explore the evolutionary aspect of this divergence, we tried to identify additional xenobiotic sensing nuclear receptors in chicken using various experimental approaches. However, none of those revealed novel candidates. Ablation of chicken xenobiotic receptor (CXR) function by RNAi or dominant-negative alleles drastically reduced drug-induction in a chicken hepatoma cell line. Subsequently, we functionally and structurally characterized CXR and compared our results to PXR and CAR. Despite the high similarity in their amino acid sequence, PXR and CAR have very distinct modes of activation. Some aspects of CXR function, e.g. direct ligand activation and high promiscuity are very reminiscent of PXR. On the other hand, cellular localization studies revealed common characteristics of CXR and CAR in terms of cytoplasmic-nuclear distribution. Finally, CXR has unique properties regarding its regulation in comparison to PXR and CAR. CONCLUSION: Our finding thus strongly suggest that CXR constitutes an ancestral gene which has evolved into PXR and CAR in mammals. Future studies should elucidate the reason for this divergence in mammalian versus non-mammalian species.

Baseball: The Huskies cooled off somewhat during the opening stretch of May. After closing April with an 11-5 loss at Bradley, NIU got a 7-5 victory comeback win at UIC Wednesday. The Huskies opened their weekend MAC series at Toledo Friday with a win, shutting out the Rockets, 4-0. However, UT came back with a pair of wins, 6-3 on Saturday and 9-2 on Sunday, to take the series.
Softball: Northern Illinois closed their regular season and clinched the No. 4 seed in the MAC Tournament during the week. NIU began the week with a 2-0 loss at DePaul. However, the Huskies responded with four wins in their final home weekend of the year. On Friday, NIU claimed a doubleheader sweep of Toledo, winning 6-5 and 11-2. The Huskies shut out Bowling Green on Saturday, 3-0, then won in thrilling fashion on Sunday over the Falcons, 5-4.

Happiness campaigns could make us sadder
Campaigns to increase the level of happiness in Society could have the ironic effect, of making sad people feel sadder, suggests new research reported on our Research Digest.
A survey of hundreds of Australian and Japanese students found that those who believed more strongly that society expects us to try to be happy, also tended to evaluate their own negative emotions more negatively. In other words, believing that there's a cultural expectation to strive for happiness is associated with feeling sad about being sad.

I presume all of you didn't whine this week.
I told earlier something about my week, and here's some highlights:
- I whined about Finnish Javelin results when realized what was happening… (whining)
- I whined about "naming conditions" to which guy replied "stop bitching" (really made my day)
- At some point I got a letter from the tax man saying that he wants me to give them 2 000 euros (this time I didn't whine, but was relieved and thought only 2000…)
- Yesterday I whined about server being down for some time.
- Don't know if I whined something else. Maybe I did.
- Just when I typed this, the monitor started blinking and I was like "shit, will this thing explode?"
Actually, quite small things – and not really about whining. More like some random thoughts.
So, how was your week? (Anyone interested about the prize?)

For those who are planning to learn flower arrangements from now, it is highly recommended to pay special attention to the choice of program they should sign up for. Namely from person to person the purpose and goal for learning floral designs is different. If the purpose of learning flower arranging is just for fun as a hobby, they don't have to make a big deal in selecting a program.
People who would like to earn skills of floral arranging just for hobby, all they have to do is just joining the entry level of program and then proceed to elementary course easy program in order to earn general floral arranging skills recommended for beginners. However if the purpose of learning floral design is doing floral business such as running a floral shop, working for a florist as a floral designer or offering wedding and funeral floral decorating services whatsoever, story is totally different.
When making a choice of program/course for business purpose, you had better explain to admission office about why you want to learn floral designs and what is your eventual goal. Depending upon your goal, school usually makes recommendation about the choice of program/course for that fits your requirement.
The point is to which direction you would like to go, earning flower arranging skills just for general purpose OR specifically for business purpose that requires a little bit higher level of skills. What is important you should bear in mind is no matter which way you go, for hobby or business, you need to earn basic skills without which you cannot expect to earn reasonable quality of skills.
Namely as far as the entry level and elementary programs are concerned, you are required to digest all the curriculum so that you can earn minimum required skill of floral designing regardless of your purpose and goal for learning floral art. Only after completing entry level and elementary course, you are supposed to proceed to the next level of program. When reaching this point you can make a decision about the choice of program for the next step. Namely for those who just want to earn general skills, intermediate course (if any) is recommended. On the other hand for those who need a skill for doing business, business oriented programs/courses specifically designed for wedding or funeral floral decorations are often recommended.
Since the floral decorations for weddings and funerals need somewhat different type of arrangements, people who learn only general and popular floral arrangements have lots of difficulties of making decorations for such events. For instance arch arrangements and chair decoration as well as pomanders are quite special designs specifically for weddings. Further, casket sprays and funeral cross arrangements are also unusual designs specifically arranged for funeral decorations. That is why they are recommended to join courses specifically designed for wedding or funeral decorations.
If you are interested in earning a decent floral design skill regardless of your goal, California Flower Art Academy can help. From a WIDE RANGE OF PROGRAMS students can make a choice of their most favorite course by well considering their budget, taste and goal for learning floral arrangements. California Flower Art Academy has been teaching a variety of floral designs from European arrangements to Japanese traditional Ikebana, wedding to funeral decorations AND beginner to professional levels since 1990 as a floral school certified by Flower Decorators Association (Tokyo, Japan). You can start from Introductory Program for less than $100. For more information, feel free to contact firstname.lastname@example.com

"Beast and Feast" is a yaoi thriller by Akira Norikazu. While investigating a murder, Kuazuha meets with an old junior high classmate, Hyoudou. The latter is a member of the Yakuza. He's willing to give Kazuha some important information, but Kazuha has to be willing to give himself, body and soul to Hyoudou; and he won't take no for an answer. Will Kazuha solve the case with his honor intact?
The idea of a cop and a yakuza in a forbidden relationship is a pretty good one. But it's odd that the author feels like they have to force Kazuha into a relationship with Hyoudou. It would have been more interesting if it was played up like a yaoi morality tale that explores how far is one willing to go to catch a murderer and if love can survive intact. "Beast and Feast" is an okay manga for Honolulu yaoi fans.

JavaScript Asynchronous Script Loader

Just saw Dustin Diaz's tweet regarding $script.js and thought aha, I was about to throw up yet another one! Mine is just a snippet by comparison and the caveats have not been explored, but it was a start.
After a very quick comparison, where I used the first script element to insert the script, Dustin used the head element. I came to using the first script element while trying to fix an issue with the Google Analytics asychronous script, which had had problems with IE 6 in certain rare circumstances. See Google Analytics Asynchronous Snippet for the Head Element for more about it.
A bit of testing and Dustin's approach also avoids the IE6 problem, so a win all around, hurray!
To clarify, IE6 will die with "Operation Aborted" if there is a singleton base element present in combination with the JavaScript:
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(el); but is fine with both:
var head = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0]; head.insertBefore(el, head.firstChild);
var script = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; script.parentNode.insertBefore(el, script);
Going to check out Dan Webb's loadrunner.js soon, which is looking very fine.
The demo loads jQuery and appends a paragraph. Compatible with IE 6+, Firefox, Safari, Chrome that I've tested so far.

Nov. 19, 2013
Greenville, N.C. - During a recent vote this summer celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium, members of the Pirate Nation picked their Top-15 Memorable Games in school history. Below is a complete list of the Most Memorable Games ...
1. 2008 vs. No. 8 West Virginia - W, 24-3 l Highlights
Senior quarterback Patrick Pinkney completed 22-of-28 passes for 236 yards and a touchdown while the Pirate defense smothered the Mountaineer passing attack to highlight East Carolina's 24-3 non-conference victory over No. 8 West Virginia at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium ... The triumph was ECU's first-ever against an opponent ranked among the top eight and also marked the Pirates' third-straight over a ranked team dating back to the `07 Sheraton Hawai'i Bowl win against No. 22 Boise State ... In all, the East Carolina defense surrendered just 72 passing yards to Heisman Trophy candidate Pat White and held the Mountaineers to their lowest scoring total since a 41-3 loss to Miami in 2001 ... Sophomore running back Jonathan Williams complemented Pinkney's aerial accuracy with 69 rushing yards, which also included a pair of short scoring runs ... ECU used Williams' five-yarder to cap an 11-play, 80-yard scoring drive on its opening possession to give the Pirates an early 7-0 lead ... After the two teams traded field goals midway through the second quarter, Van Eskridge forced a Mountaineer fumble at the WVU 35-yard line which Pinkney cashed in with a 13-yard fade toss to Alex Taylor to establish a 17-3 Pirate cushion with 47 seconds remaining before intermission ... Similar to the first drive of the contest, East Carolina used 6:18 on the clock to put together an 86-yard, 12-play drive to open the second half and extend the advantage to 24-3 on a Williams one-yard TD plunge with 6:05 left in the third quarter ... The ECU defense put the clamps on the Mountaineers in the final 30 minutes, holding WVU to just 112 total yards (65 rushing, 47 passing) ... The Pirates enjoyed an 11:22 edge in possession time, held West Virginia to just a three-of-12 conversion rate on third down, forced two turnovers and logged six tackles for lost yardage.
2. 2010 vs. NC State - W, 33-27 (OT) l Highlights
Junior quarterback Dominique Davis' second effort on a one-yard keeper in the first overtime period proved to be the game-winner as East Carolina recorded a 33-27 non-conference triumph over NC State in front of a record-crowd 50,410 at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium ... True freshman Damon Magazu, who made his first career start at free safety to open the contest, sealed the victory by intercepting a Russell Wilson pass in the endzone on a third-and-12 play on the Wolfpack's overtime possession ... Davis established career-bests in passes attempted (53) and completed (37) on the way to a 376-yard performance while also accounting for three of the Pirates' four scores ... Davis quickly got ECU off to a 21-0 first-quarter lead by completing his first 14 throws for 109 yards, two of which were TD strikes to Lance Lewis and Justin Jones, respectively ... N.C. State bounced back to score on three of its next four possessions to pull to within three, 24-21, at halftime ... After a scoreless third period, the Wolfpack used a pair of Josh Czajkowski field goals in the fourth quarter to take their first lead of the game, 27-24, with 2:59 remaining ... However, ECU responded with a six-play, 43-yard drive to set up Mike Barbour's 31-yard field goal to force overtime.
3. 1991 vs. No. 23 Pittsburgh - W, 24-23 l Highlights
Trailing 23-16 with 3:32 left in the game, Jeff Blake drove East Carolina 80 yards on 10 plays and went in from the two-yard line to close the game to 23-22 ... Blake then ran in for the two-point conversion, giving the Pirates a 24-23 win in front of a Ficklen Stadium-record 36,000 fans ... ECU has led throughout the first three periods ... Blake hit Hunter Gallimore with a five-yard TD pass to put ECU up 6-0 ... After a 23-yard Don Silvestri field goal, Cedric Van Buren put ECU ahead 13-3 with a seven yard TD run ... Pitt came back to tie the score in the third quarter on a two-yard run by Jermaine Williams ... Williams scored again on the first play of the fourth quarter to put the Panthers ahead, 20-16 ... Pitt had a chance to put the game out of reach late, but on a third-and-one at the ECU 15, Robert Jones stuffed Tim Colicchio for a one-yard loss and the Panthers had to settle for a 35-yard field goal.
4. 2007 vs. North Carolina - W, 34-31 l Highlights
Junior quarterback Patrick Pinkney threw for a personal- best 406 yards and three touchdowns in his first collegiate start while Ben Hartman bounced back from three earlier misses to drill a game winning 39-yard field goal on the contest's last play to lift East Carolina to a 34-31 non-conference win over North Carolina at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium ... Pinkney's performance, which ranked as the second-highest single-game passing total in school history, helped the Pirates overcome a 10 point second quarter deficit in front of the 43,387 fans - the fourth-largest crowd in stadium history ... ECU also used a stellar outing from running back Chris Johnson, who accounted for three touchdowns and racked up a career-best 136 receiving yards on five catches ... Hartman, who had missed from 30, 32 and 37 yards out earlier in the game, connected on the deciding three-pointer to cap a quick five-play, 31-yard drive that followed a muffed hold on a Tar Heel field goal attempt from 52 yards out with 0:49 remaining ... Trailing 17-7 late in the first half, Pinkney helped the Pirates roll off 10 points in a span of 1:26, first connecting with Davon Drew on a 15-yard scoring strike ... After Hartman converted a 33-yarder to knot the score at the half, Pinkney found Johnson on a 24-yarder to give ECU a 24-17 lead midway through the third quarter.
5. 2009 vs. No 18 Houston (C-USA Championship Game) - W, 38-32 l Highlights
Senior Van Eskridge's pair of fourth-quarter interceptions, including a game-saver in the Pirate endzone with only 42 seconds remaining, helped East Carolina stave off a Houston comeback attempt and capture its second-straight Conference USA championship in as many tries ... The Pirates survived a 56-of-75, 527-yard, five touchdown passing effort by Cougar quarterback Case Keenum by picking off three throws, two in their own endzone ... On the other side of the ball, ECU used 262 air yards from Patrick Pinkney and a 151-yard team rushing day, which included a pair of ground scores each from Dominique Lindsay and Giavanni Ruffin ... In all, the Pirates forced four turnovers and cashed the fi rst three miscues into 17 points ... Eskridge added a 30-yard return on his first interception to the UH seven-yard line to set up a Lindsay scoring run that pushed the ECU lead to 31-19 with 13:27 to play ... The two teams traded scores during the next 10 minutes before another Keenum TD strike drew the Cougars to within six with 3:24 left ... After stuffing the Pirates on a fourth-down try inside UH territory, Keenum rallied Houston down to the ECU 34 before cornerback Travis Simmons tipped the ball to Eskridge to end the threat.
6. 1999 vs. NC State - W, 23-6 l Highlights
East Carolina sophomore QB David Garrard scored three touchdowns as the Pirates closed their regular season with an historic victory over instate rival NC State, 23-6, to clinch a berth in the Mobile Alabama Bowl ... A record Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium crowd of 50,092 watched ECU register a memorable victory Saturday as the Wolfpack made its first-ever appearance in Greenville ... The Pirates used a familiar big play which had become a frequent weapon during the season, blocking two NC State field goals and one PAT ... For ECU, the blocked field goals were the sixth and seventh of the season ... NC State took a 6-0 first quarter lead when QB Jamie Barnette capped an 80-yard drive with a one-yard sneak ... The drive came after ECU had driven to the State one-yard line before Garrard fumbled into the endzone, giving the Pack possession at its own 20 ... In the second quarter, Garrard scored on two TD runs, coming from two and 14 yards out ... The latter was set up by an interception by OLB John Williamson at the State 46-yard line ... Garrard finished the first half a perfect seven-of-seven passing for 100 yards ... After stopping ECU on the Pirates' first possession of the second half, NC State drove from its 20 to the ECU three-yard line ... Unable to punch it in, the Wolfpack tried to salvage the drive with a field goal, but Kent Passingham's 20-yard attempt was blocked by East Carolina DT Devonne Claybrooks ... ECU halted another NC State threat with 10:32 to play as LB Jeff Kerr blocked Passingham's 21-yard attempt ... Andrew Bayes then connected on a 34-yard field goal for a 17-6 lead with 7:26 remaining ... On NC State's next drive, Barnette threw four-straight incompletions to give ECU possession at its own 44 ... Garrard sealed the victory with a 46-yard touchdown run ... Garrard finished with 101 yards rushing to go with 156 through the air, becoming the first ECU player to run and throw for more than 100 yards in a single game since Jeff Blake achieved the feat vs. Cincinnati on Oct. 20, 1990.
7. 2010 vs. Tulsa - W, 51-49 l Highlights
Quarterback Dominique Davis threw a 33-yard touchdown pass to a leaping Justin Jones as time expired to give East Carolina a wild 51-49 Conference USA win against Tulsa in head coach Ruffin McNeill's debut ... The two teams combined for 100 points and 1,117 yards of offense during the game, which also featured 12 lead changes (seven in the fourth quarter) and TDs on the last 10 straight possessions ... It appeared the Golden Hurricane were in the driver's seat after Charles Clay's three-yard TD reception with 1:22 left gave Tulsa a 49-45 lead, but Jones capped a nine play, 66-yard drive with his Hail Mary catch ... Davis, who also made his ECU debut, completed 27 of-46 passes for 383 yards and five touchdowns, while also adding a two-yard scoring plunge to open a 27-point fourth quarter ... Lance Lewis and Dwayne Harris, who became the school's career reception yards leader during the game, each caught a pair of scores.
8. 2012 vs. Marshall - W, 65-59 (2OT) l Highlights
Sophomore quarterback Shane Carden accounted for six of East Carolina's nine touchdowns and passed for a then school single-game record 439 yards to lift the Pirates to a wild 65-59 double- overtime Conference USA victory over Marshall ... ECU scored on five of its first six possessions to build a 35-14 lead midway through the second quarter before the Herd stormed back to eventually pull ahead 52-45 with only 1:55 remaining ... With only one timeout, Carden engineered a 76-yard drive, which included a 4th-and-10 conversion, to even the contest on a six-yard scoring strike to Danny Webster with 0:04 showing ... Both teams scored in the first OT period before ECU recovered a Marshall fumble and answered with a TD.
9. 1991 vs. South Carolina - W, 31-20 l Highlights
East Carolina broke open a close game in the fourth quarter and picked up its first win over South Carolina ... The Gamecocks got on the scoreboard first when Eddie Miller ran in from the four-yard line ... After Anthony Brenner put ECU on the board with a 35-yard field goal, Jeff Blake hit Clayton Driver with a 48-yard TD pass with 1:16 left in the first half, putting the Pirates ahead, 10-7 ... The two teams traded touchdowns before Blake hit Hunter Gallimore with a 25-yard TD strike to put ECU ahead, 24-14 ... USC's Bobby Fuller connected with Robert Brooks for an eight-yard TD strike before Blake and Gallimore put the game out of reach when they connected on a 71-yard scoring play ... The win was the third-straight for the Pirates, marking the first time since 1989 that ECU had accomplished that feat ... It also marked the first of two times this season that the goal posts in Ficklen Stadium would come down.
10. 2009 vs. Southern Miss - W, 25-20 l Highlights
Senior defensive end C.J. Wilson's blocked extra point attempt and subsequent return for a two-point play with 7:35 to play broke a 20-20 deadlock and lifted East Carolina to a 25-20 Conference USA victory over Southern Miss that also allowed the Pirates to capture their second-straight division title ... The Golden Eagles rallied back from a 17-7 halftime deficit and tied the contest when Leroy Banks capped a seven-play, 62-yard drive with a three-yard scoring reception from running back Damion Fletcher ... On the ensuing PAT, Wilson batted down Daniel Hrapmann's kick, scooped up the ball at the 10-yard line and rambled 90 yards for the deciding points ... Ben Hartman followed by adding his third field goal of the day, a 47-yarder with 4:37 remaining, to secure the triumph and give ECU its first-ever 7-1 league mark ... Dominique Lindsay rushed for a game-high 98 yards while Patrick Pinkney completed 25-of-41 passes for 269 yards to lead the Pirates' offensive attack ... After allowing 186 yards of offense in the opening quarter but only trailing 7-3, East Carolina's defense buckled down in the second period - allowing only 31 yards while answering with ground scores from wide receiver Dwayne Harris (34) and defensive tackle Linval Joseph (one) to push its intermission cushion to 10 points ... USM used a 41-yard scoring run by Tory Harrison late in the third quarter and Banks' TD catch around Hartman's second three-pointer to set the stage for Wilson's heroics.
11. 1995 vs. West Virginia - W, 23-20 l Highlights
Chad Holcomb's 27-yard field goal with 2:12 left in the game lifted East Carolina to a 23-20 victory over West Virginia in front of a near-capacity crowd at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium ... The Pirates had never beaten the Mountaineers in eight previous meetings ... Early in the contest, it appeared as if the Pirates might embarrass the Mountaineers, quickly building a 20-3 lead ... After West Virginia settled for a Baumann 33-yard field goal on the game's opening drive, ECU quickly answered with a 67-yard touchdown pass from Marcus Crandell to Larry Shannon, who beat the man-on-man coverage for the score ... On its next possession after the WVU drive stalled, ECU looked to increase its lead and did so when Crandell scored on a 10-yard keeper to cap off a six-play, 35-yard drive ... Early in the second quarter, Crandell found Shannon again for a nine-yard touchdown pass to make the score 20-3 ... However, West Virginia took the momentum into the locker room after turning a Jerris McPhail fumble on the ECU 11-yard line into six points just before the half .. In the second half, the Mountaineers all but shut down the ECU offensive attack, forcing four Matt Levine punts, two interceptions, and a safety ... Before the Pirates knew it, West Virginia had tied the ball game at 20-all with 11:38 left to play ... The Pirate defense would come through late in the game when linebacker Marvin Burke forced Kantroy Barber to fumble the ball as West Virginia was driving for the winning score ... Crandell led the hurry-up-offense down the field and helped put the Pirates in field goal position ... On fourth-and-goal from the West Virginia 10-yard line, Holcomb knocked in his game-winning 27-yarder.
12. 2002 vs. No. 22 TCU - W, 31-28 l Highlights
With the offense struggling all day, it was up to East Carolina's defense to challenge No. 22 TCU ... Travis Heath made the defining play, returning a fumble 81 yards for a touchdown as the Pirates rallied from an 11-point deficit for a 31-28 upset victory against the Horned Frogs on Saturday, Nov. 23 ... Although ECU's defense gave up 445 yards, it forced seven turnovers, four on interceptions ... The Pirates had five turnovers, but captured their fourth game in which their opponent had more giveaways ... ECU had a change to tie it, but Nick Browne's 40-yard field goal attempt with 25 seconds to play went wide left ... The Pirate broke the Horned Frogs' eight-game winning streak and further scrambled the Conference USA title race with the victory, their first over a ranked team since beating Miami (Fla.) in 1999 ... TCU had hoped to clinch a share of the league title and secure a berth in one of the conference's five bowl tie-in games, but ECU had other plans ... Lonta Hobbs ran for 158 yards and two touchdowns, and he also scored on a three-yard pass from Sean Stilley in the third quarter to give TCU a 28-17 lead ... But the Pirates crept back behind field goals by Kevin Miller from 44 and 32 yards to make it 28-23 with 11:06 to play ... TCU could not hold the lead ... On second-and-six from the East Carolina 19, Ricky madison tried to outrun Heath to the left boundary ... Instead, Heath tied him up, took the football away and ran 81 yards fro the game-winning score ... Paul Troth three to Art Brown for the two-point conversion and a three-point lead ... The Pirates tried to ice it on a fourth-and-one at the TCU 10, but they failed to convert ... Stilley led TCU down to the ECU 23, but Browne missed the tying field goal.
13. 2000 vs. Syracuse - W, 34-17 l Highlights
East Carolina used a touchdown off a blocked punt and scored on two long pass plays - all in the second quarter - en route to a 34-17 non-conference victory over Syracuse ... The steady rain which fell on Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium did little to sampan the spirits of the 33,026 in attendance ... Both teams converted their opening drives to field goals with kicks by ECU's Kevin Miller and Syracuse's Mike Shafer in the first quarter ... Syracuse tried to build momentum early in the second period, culminating an eight-play, 63-yard drive with a three-yard scoring run by James Mungro ... On Syracuse's next possession, ECU's Travis Heath blocked a punt which was recovered by Terrance Copper in the end zone for a Pirate touchdown ... Four plays after Jerome Steward's interception for ECU, QB David Garrard hit Marcellus Harris for a 46-yard score ... Less than three minutes later, Garrard again connected with Harris, this time for a 65-yard TD ... The second-quarter surge gave the Pirates a 24-10 lead at intermission ... Syracuse took the opening kickoff of the second half and drove 73 yards in nine plays ... A three-yard TD run by Dee Brown cut the East Carolina lead to 24-17 ... Later in the quarter, ECU's Miller added to the Pirate lead with a 24-yard field goal ... In the fourth quarter, the Pirates converted a fourth-and-one play with a fake punt ... RB Jamie Wilson took the short snap and burst up the middle for 19 yards and a first down at the DU38 ... After a five-yard penalty on Syracuse, Garrard hit Rashon Burns for a 33-yard TD pass to seal the game ... Garrard led the Pirate attack, completing 8-of-15 passes for 201 yards ... ECU junior RB Leonard Henry led the rushing game with 101 yards on 14 carries.
14. 1970 vs. Marshall - W, 17-14 l Highlights
(Excerpts taken from Sports Writer Mike Brown, Herald-Advertiser, 1970) East Carolina place kicker Tony Guzzo drilled a 24-yard field goal with 12:27 left in the fourth quarter and that proved to be the difference as the Pirates defeated Marshall 17-14 before a turnout of 8,711 fans at Ficklen Stadium ... With 30 seconds remaining in the game, Marshall quarterback Ted Shoebridge was called for intentional grounding, a call which left the Thundering Herd and its small group of fans puzzled ... Shoebridge, who didn't get into the game until the second half, had driven the Herd 63 yards in less than a minute and was knocking on the door when the call came ... On a third and 10 at the ECU 25, Shoebridge faded to pass and was collared by the Pirates Jim Gudger at the ECU 44 ... Shoebridge got off the pass but was called for grounding the ball which carried a five-yard penalty from the sport of the call ... The pass was intended for halfback Art Harris who fielded it on the bounce ... With any hopes of a game-tying field goal by Marcelo Lajterman now snuffed out, Shoebridge threw a futile fourth-down pass deep down field and it fell incomplete, giving the Pirates the football with only 11 second left ... ECU, which didn't throw a single pass in the second half, grounded out 302 yards rushing with 178 of it coming in the second half ... Lee Strayhorn picked up 142 yards on 28 carries and Billy Wallace added 132 on 27 ... The Pirates got excellent field position in the second period when Mike Mills covered Joe Hood's fumble ... John Casazza scored his first touchdown of the season when he rolled around right end with 12:04 left in the half ... Marshall forged a 7-7 halftime tie on an electrifying 81-yard interception return by Stu Cottrell, second longest in school history, with 1:19 left in the half ... East Carolina, following a 45-yard field goal attempt by Lajterman which fell short, drove from its own 20 to the Marshall 22 where it had a first down ... Casazza, who had completed four straight passes on the drive, attempted to pass to the right sideline ... MU defensive end Dave Griffith batted the ball right back into the startled Casazza's hands and he instinctively threw the ball again ... Cottrell picked the ball up in the flat and zipped down the sidelines ... Hood fumbled on the ECU 48 with Chuck Zadnik falling on the football, setting up ECU's second TD ... The Pirates, aided by a face-masking call on Larry Sanders, scored in seven plays with Wallace going in from the one ... After an exchange of punts, Shoebridge moved the Herd 76 yards in only seven plays, hitting Repasy for the score with six minutes left in the third period, tying it at 14-14 ... Celebration of Guzzo's game-winning field goal quickly turned into sadness as news reached Greenville that a tragic plane crash had claimed the lives of 75 people, including the entire Thundering Herd travel party, on approach to Huntington Tri-State Airport.
15. 1963 vs. Wake Forest - W, 20-10 l Highlights
(Excerpts taken from Sports Editor Charles Vaughn, The Daily Reflector, 1963)
Behind the running of fullback Tom Michel and tailbacks Buddy Bovender and Bill Cline, the Pirates came from behind twice secure a 20-10 victory over the Deacons ... Trailing 3-0 early in the contest, East Carolina used a 15-yard punt return from Bovender to start its drive on the Wake 39-yard line ... But a Richard Hunnicutt fumble on a passing play at the Wake eight-yard line stifled the Pirates drive ... On the ensuing play, Wake returned the favor turning the ball over and Rickey Jarrell recovered on the Deacon 12 ... Michel bulldozed his way over the Wake Forest goal line a few minutes later on a two-yard plunge to give East Carolina its first lead at 6-3 ... Following a failed PAT, Wake then took the kickoff from the Pirates and marched 65 yards in nine plays where Brian Piccolo capped the scoring drive on an option play from four yards out ... The Pirates fought back with another tally of their own to take a two-point lead, 12-10, heading into the half ... Bovender returned the kickoff 78 yards for the go-ahead score and once again the PAT failed ... It took East Carolina just six minutes to produce an additional touchdown in the third quarter ... After receiving the opening half kick, Michel, Cline and Bovender carried the Pirate into the Deacon end zone on 13 plays ... Michel took the kickoff on the 26-yard line and raced back to his own 46 before being tackled ... Lugging the pigskin on the next two plays, Michel moved the ball to the Deacon 43 ... Behind some nifty running on the part of Bovender and two completed passes by Cline, the Pirates scored from six yards out on Michel's run around the right end extending the lead to eight, 18-10 ... Bovender found tight end Johnny Anderson in the end zone for the two-point conversion and the Pirates were on the winning end of the score, 20-10 ... Michel rushed for a game-high 125 yards on 23 carries with three ground scores ... He also completed a pair of passes for 19 yards.

Dusty Baker returning to the dugout Monday
CINCINNATI - After missing 11 games, the Reds' manager will be back in the dugout Monday night.
The Reds say Dusty Baker will return to his position as acting manager during the start of the series against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Baker suffered a minor stroke Sept. 19 in Chicago.
Since then, the Reds' manager has missed some of the more exciting moments of the season including seeing the team clinch the National League Central Division, and Homer Bailey's no hitter on Friday.
Bench Coach Chris Speier served as acting manager while Baker recovered.
The Reds kick off their final three-game regular-season series against the Cardinals Monday night in St. Louis. The game starts at 8:15 p.m.

Early in the first half of Tuesday afternoon's girls' soccer game between Park City and 4A Wasatch at the North 40 fields, it seemed as if the Miners' tough preseason schedule was catching up to them.
Coming off a 3-0 loss at 4A Olympus on Monday afternoon, the Miners were looking to bounce back against a former Region 10 rival.
But a long shot from the top of the goal box sneaked over the head of sophomore goalkeeper Marina Mayo early in the first half, putting the Wasps up 1-0 and making it look like Park City might be in for a long afternoon.
That couldn't have been further from the truth, though. Rather than getting frustrated, the Miners got even. Shortly after Wasatch scored, senior Gretchen Swenson put some serious English on the ball, bending a corner kick past the Wasps' keeper to equalize the score heading into halftime.
In the second half, it was all Park City.
Devon Dunmire played a key role, setting up a Jessie Dancy goal with a beautiful cross that found Dancy's head. Later in the second half, Dunmire was at it again, dribbling her way through the Wasatch defense before launching a shot past the keeper to give the Miners a 3-1 victory.
PCHS coach Chip Cook said she thinks Dunmire is starting to come into her own on the pitch.
"I think Devon has found her identity with this team and she's working into a role she feels comfortable in," she said.
Cook added that she was pleased with the way her team bounced back the day after a tough loss.
"If you work hard, something good is going to happen," she said. "We were creating opportunities. We're trying to play possession-style soccer keeping it on the ground and being patient."
She was also happy with the way the girls were finishing their shots.
"There are a bunch of things that have to happen in order to make the hard work pay off in the end," she said. "It's fine to be patient, but if you don't have the bodies in place to finish, it doesn't matter how patient one person is. But tonight we were getting people in places where they could be effective and get opportunities."
Already, the 3-0 loss to Olympus is in the Miners' rearview mirror, Cook said.
"It was kind of a comedy of errors if it could go wrong, it did," she said. "We knew what we had to fix, and we just looked at it as a potential low point we could build on. We recognize it was not a quality soccer game for us."
Now, they'll focus on the positives from the Wasatch game going forward.
"They always give us a great challenge and they're a solidly coached team," Cook said. "It's a great way to get us prepared. Having an opponent so close to home and having it be a rivalry game prepares you better for those high-pressure situations you might face down the road."
She added that the team seems to be figuring out how to be more effective as a unit.
"We're a group of spectacular individual players who are trying to figure out our identities within the team," she said. "And we're slowly but surely figuring it out. If we continue to improve every game, we're happy."
The Miners improved to 2-1-1 with the win. Park City's next home game is Thursday, Aug. 29, against Logan.

Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker Kirby Dick sets out to expose the hypocrisy of gay politicians who passionately criticize the LGBT community in public while concealing their own sexual orientation. In addition to exposing the secret lives of powerful policymakers -- and the damage they've inflicted on LGBT Americans -- this documentary also takes a critical look at the media's involvement in keeping homophobic politicians closeted.

So much could have gone wrong in the making of "Boyhood". Writer and director Richard Linklater filmed the movie over the course of twelve years, gathering the same actors together each time. The end result is that, over the course of almost three hours, the audience gets to watch a family grow and change, the children age and mature, particularly the film's main subject, Mason (Ellar Coltrane). But Coltrane may have been cute at age five, and turned out to be a terrible actor a decade later. Any one of the actors may have decided they didn't want to do the movie anymore. Filming a fictional movie in such a way was a big risk, but it paid off. "Boyhood" is more than a movie—it is an experience.
The film begins with Mason at age five and ends when he is eighteen and just beginning college. He has an older sister named Sam (Lorelei Linklater). His parents aren't together. He and his sister live with their mom (Patricia Arquette), who goes through a series of failed marriages while working and also going back to school. Their musician dad (Ethan Hawke) isn't around a lot, but he still makes time for his kids. Together, they sound like stereotypical characters. In reality, they couldn't be farther from the truth. The mom rises above her struggles to become a teacher, and a darn good one at that. She marries both a professor and a military man, but both turn out to be horrible husbands. It turns out that the dad, the one who was never around, is the wisest character in the film, imparting knowledge to his children every time we see him. Throughout the film, Mason tries to take these experiences and use them to figure out who he is, and who he wants to be. There's really no main plot other that that; there's not a main conflict, but a series of little conflicts and triumphs that take place over time. We are not witnessing a small, intensely interesting segment of this family's life, but a large chunk of their life, and some of it is more intriguing that others, because that's just the way life works.
Each performance across the board is excellent, because the actors are so natural. Filming the movie over many years likely helped them feel comfortable around each other and look and actor more like a family, although it's obvious from the beginning that they have great chemistry.
The movie does beg the question, would it be as amazing to watch had it not been filmed with the same actors over the course of twelve years? Probably not, although the script is strong enough, packed as it is with humor and sadness and triumph, that it would still make for a great film. People will also likely connect with it in different ways, depending on whether they are a parent or a child. But there's something magical about watching a group of people grow and change seamlessly over time, and that's what pushes "Boyhood" across the boundary between merely watching a film, and fully experiencing the world depicted on screen. So much could have gone wrong with it, but as it turns out, everything aligned as perfect as can be.
Runtime: 165 minutes. Rated R for language including sexual references, and for teen drug and alcohol use.

Pierre Sparr "Alsace One" White, France - A dry white blend of native German grape varietals, Riesling and Gewurztraminer, as well as Pinot Blanc and Muscat.

Tiefenbrunner Chardonnay, Italy/Austria border - This wine is pale yellow in colour with green reflexes. It has a pleasant aroma that characterises the variety, with meadow flower reminiscent of exotic fruits. Slightly spicy, well-structured and full in the mouth, it has a lingering finish on the palate.
Pratsch Grüner Vetliner, Austria - This wine is herbal, fresh and spicy with notes of white pepper, apple and citrus on the palate.
Grundlach Bundschu Gewurztraminer - Aromas of allspice, jasmine and citrus burst from the glass. Luscious flavors of pink grapefruit, white nectarine, navel orange, lychee and starfruit are spiced with fresh ginger and coriander.
Hans Wirsching Silvaner, Franken Germany - Coming from grapes out of the Iphöfer Kronsberg vineyard this dry German wine has tons of floral notes on the nose along with mild minerality. To the taste, the minerality is more assertive followed by soft notes of mushrooms and citrus. A very clean and neat dry wine, nothing lingers on the palate too long having a short finish making you want to go for another taste.
Weingut Ökonomierat Rebholz Pinot Blanc, Germany - The aromatics offer a perfume of spicy minerals laced with citrus notes. On the palate one finds juicy flavors of pear, lemon, and green melon. Despite being an entry level example, this selection offers volume, complexity, and crystalline purity. A finely honed Pinot Blanc, with a precise structure that yields a spicy and salty finish.
Staalicher Hofkeller Wurzburg Silvaner, Franken Germany - This wine uses the rare Silvaner grape.

The palate offers open-knit citrus and nectarine flavors with strong herbal and floral undertones. Finishes smooth and shapely, with sneaky concentration for an entry-level wine.
Fitz-Ritter Sparkling Riesling Extra Trocken Sekt, Germany - It is crisp and dry while bursting with the fruitiness of ripe Riesling. This Sparkling Wine is always a favorite and has been written up in prestigious publications such as the Wine Spectator and the New York Times. (87 Wine Spectator)
Red Wines
Stein 1 Sweet Red, Germany - Sweet, full-bodied with luscious flavors of raspberry and plum with silky tannins and crisp acidity.
Schmitt Söhne Fünf Red, Germany - Bursts with delightful sweet, red fruit flavors. "Fünf" means five and this fun, easy drinking wine is aptly named since most fun starts at five o'clock!

Salentein Malbec, Argentina - Full of violet and black fruit scents, this wine has ripened to cherry liqueur notes. The flavors follow with an unbridled, juicy decadence.

Tiefenbrunner Lagrein, Italy/Austria border - Deep garnet red in color, with a delicate bouquet showing the cherry and violet note characteristic of the varietals; subtle wood tones compliment its full and round fruit flavors. Compact tannins and an agreeable acidity carry this traditional South Tyrolean wine through to its long finish.
Staatlicher Hofkeller Würzburg Domina Trocken Franken - The dry red wine is pressed from the grape Domina which was created in 1927 by crossing Blauer Portugieser with Pinot Noir. This gives it the classical pinot notes of cherry, raspberry and tobacco, in addition with a more full bodied flavor.

When Jenna was redoing her guest bedroom, she felt the need to switch out the plain white Ikea curtain panels for something a little more exciting. "I really didn't want to spend money on new curtains, though," she tells us at Rain on a Tin Roof.
Then one day while she was shopping, Jenna spotted several rolls of Gold Duck Tape, on sale. Inspiration struck at once! She quickly bought two rolls of tape and took it home. There, she simply trimmed the edges of her curtain panels with the shiny gold tape. What a fun way to add some glam embellishment to plain curtains. They look great!

OKLAHOMA CITY -- The Arizona softball team (51-10), which has won 17 of its last 18 games, is one win away from the national championship series. The Wildcats take on the Lady Vols of Tennessee this morning at 10 a.m. (MST) on ESPN.
The Wildcats reached the game with a dramatic 2-0 victory over the Texas Longhorns. Callista Balko broke up Cat Osterman's shot at a no-hitter with a two-out, game-winning single to drive in Caitlin Lowe in the bottom of the sixth inning. A double-steal of home and second gave the Wildcats an insurance run, and that was all Alicia Hollowell needed to complete her four-hit shutout of Texas.
Arizona last played in a national semifinal, as it will this morning, in 2003.

Before the country's civil war in the mid-20th century, the Lao city of Luang Prabang was home to the silversmiths who worked under the patronage of the royal family. After the war, most moved to the capital of Vientiane for safety, and it is there that these ornate accessories are handcrafted in an age-old tradition that begins with melting pure silver bullion into sheets and wires.
This sterling silver bracelet is a traditional court pattern of a Lao flower called dok phikoun, often used in Lao weddings. According to Lao Buddhist teachings, the intricate chain is associated with the highest blessings.

A Quality Of Life Improvement!!I LOVE this flattening iron! It works better than any other Ive tried (and I have tried MANY) This was recommended by my hair stylist because I was complaining about not being able to keep my hair straight when it was humid outside. According to the stylist, this iron (because of the ionic charge) helps to seal in the moisture rather than deplete it from the hair, therefore, the humidity outside doesnt affect it like it would if the hair was real dry. It heats up immediately, and only has to be run through hair once to get perfectly straight hair. (my morning routine just got shorter!) Just get it, you wont be sorry.Aug 7, 2004Amy / NJ

Awesome!I received my Hai after about 3 days, which is impressive when you live in the Northwest Territories. Usually, it takes about two weeks to receive anything you order over the Internet! So, I got it and waited about two days to use it (since I dont wash my hair every day) when my hair was clean and well-conditioned. Could not believe how smooth it swiped down my hair and my hair was left soft and shiny. Its really true. The plates are amazing. Never felt a straightener go down my hair so smoothly and there was no sizzle! Its funny, because I bought an Ecstasy flat ceramic iron last month for over $100 and its pretty good. But, after using the Hai iron, Im not sure its that good anymore! Im definitely spoiled. Anyway, this is fantastic and well worth the price. Highly recommend it.Aug 7, 2004Ag / Yellowknife, Canada

Living With 4 GirlsI live with 4 girls, 3 of us have thick, color treated, wavy hair and 1 has thick curly hair. We always used to have to schedule times to use the straightener because it took so long, and the girl with curly hair always had to have other people do her hair because it was so difficult. After getting this HAI straightener it takes less than 8 minutes for us to do it, and the curly haired girl does her hair in about 12 minutes all by herself. Id say $85 is more than worth this!Aug 5, 2004Lindsay / Utah

Great ProductThis HAI flat iron was great! Before purchasing this iron, I had used cheap $25 irons which did not do much for my hair. But this iron made my hair great - very smooth and straight. If you cannot afford the $200 irons, I recommend this $85 iron. I am very pleased with the results.Jul 31, 2004Salwa / Columbia

DisappointedI had a cheap ($30)ceramic flat iron before I bought Hai. I bought this thinking that Hai will make my wavy hair straight faster and better than my cheap one. But Hai was not much different than the cheap one. It takes a long time to straighten and you have to go over the hair four or five times to get it really straight. So I wont recommend this to anyone. Also I noticed that my hair is turning gray after I started Hai. Not sure whether it is Hai or it is due to the age !!!(I am only 32 by the way.)Jul 30, 2004Ann / Los Angeles

Awesome!I have extremely thick/wavy hair, and this iron worked wonders on it. I used to use Hot Tools and I never realized how much damage I was doing until I tried this and I could no longer hear my hair frying. The Hai makes my hair super straight and super flat (which is only a plus if your hair is thick like mine, so its not the same as super flat for people with thinner hair), which I could never get with my old iron or even a blow dryer. Its so easy to use and usually only needs one swipe to get the hair straight. I usually blowdry before I straighten, and even if theres still some moisture, using this iron doesnt make it frizzy or dry like other irons--its just super shiny and lays so flat. Love this iron! Get it! Its definitely worth the price.Jul 27, 2004Jen / NJ

Best Money I've Spent In Years.I have thick, color treated, wavy hair and I have tried everything. My hair was starting to get so damaged from the other "ceramic" flat iron I purchased a few months ago - even the color was getting stripped. I received my HAI a few days ago and my hair is transformed! It is now stick straight and incredibly shiny. I have had no color loss problems - it just looks healthy and glossy. It was between the HAI and the CHI for me - everyone told me to go with the HAI and I am soooo happy I did. Love it!!!!Jul 21, 2004Anon / Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Better Than Anything So Far.Hi!I love this iron! I have used the saphire, kenta, chi and this one - and it is way better than all the other ones. I have very curly hair and its stick straight, when i tell people its curly they refuse to believe me. It stays staright when i go clubbing or in the humidity, too!!! It takes me 10 minutes to straighten and it heats up so quickly. I love how Folica delivered the product in 2 days - and I live in Canada!! This is the best product, i love it. And i also use it to make my hair wavy, its amazing!!!!Jul 21, 2004Michele / Canada

Re: Upgrading to vista 64 bit
- From: "Mark H" <jmhonzell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- Date: Fri, 27 Jun 2008 10:22:53 -0500
It is my understanding (I'm sure someone will be happy to correct me) that
the x64 upgrade (like the x86 upgrade) must be started from within the
current operating system. Vista x64 uses a 64-bit installer. Because of
this, you cannot start the upgrade process from within a 32-bit OS.
That said, going from 32-bit to 64-bit is more commonly refered to as
"migration." It requires a clean install
A clean install can be performed with an upgrade labeled disk of either
bit-ness. Instructions are just about everywhere the word Vista appears.
(The product key, not the disk determines if it is an upgrade.) This upgrade
"clean install" receives promises and threats that _someday_, _someone_ will
catch you and invalidate your activation. So procede at your own risk to
keep those extra dollars.
"Mr Bennett" <MrBennett@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message
According to the vista pages on the microsoft site, you cannot "upgrade"from
a 32bit XP to a 64bit vista, and must do a clean install, but it isambiguous
as to what upgrade means. Does this mean that an original install versionused
(much more expensive) must be purchased, or can the upgrade version be
on a clean hard drive as long as the XP key or whatever is put in to makeit
recognize that you are upgrading?
