The Ballad of Count Claros
Latham Hall, Christ Church Cathedral
1117 Texas
"Conde Claros" is a 15th century Spanish romanceros which tells the story of noble Count Claros who falls in love with the daughter of the king, the princess Clara Niña. She also loves him and they decide to marry each other in secret. A wicked servant learns of their marriage, and tells the king. When the king learns of it he is furious, and orders the arrest of Count Claros, who tries to flee, but he is captured at the gates of the city. All the court agrees on his punishment: death. The count is taken to the main square, where the scaffold is set up which will end his life. The people all come out to watch, but at the last minute the princess Clara Niña comes running to try to save her beloved's life.
Ex Umbris presents this tale of love and betrayal with songs and dances heard in the streets of 16th century Spain, Children in the audience join in the singing and dancing. Singing in Spanish and English to the sound of the vihuela, harp, guitar, viol, recorder, flute, shawm, sackbut, and pipe and tabor, Ex Umbris evokes the musical richness of Renaissance Spain.

I am trying to install ubuntu 14.2.16 on VirtualBox. It has installed correctly, but I was having a problem related to window size. It is not possible for me to switch ubuntu in full screen mode. I got some solution for that i.e. installing Guest Additions. But afterwords I got error: unable to mount C:program files/oracle/VirtualBox/GuestAssitions.iso For that i got one solution.(Unable to mount the CD/DVD image on the machine Sandbox) I followed all steps given by but as it says about VBoxLinuxAdditions.run file, it should be executable. But file I am having in my host PC is not executable. I even checked settings in file property, its type is program still not executable, its opening in text editor.
What should I do now? Even if anybody could suggest me different solution for switching it in full screen it would be really helpful.

Glen Coe is one of the most beautiful and haunting places in all of Scotland. It is often referred to as the Glen of Weeping. It is aptly named considering the massacre that took place there in 1692, an event that still stirs animosity among the Scots to this day.
All the Highland clans that rose up against King William III were offered a pardon if their lairds swore allegiance to the English king by January 1, 1692. The MacDonald laird arrived in time to swear allegiance, but he arrived at the wrong location. He was directed to the correct location, but he arrived five days late. The English leaders decided to make an example out of him. Troops were sent to Glen Coe later that month.
Despite the trouble between the Campbells and the MacDonalds, the MacDonalds followed Highland custom and gave the 130 troops food and shelter in the harsh Highland winter. It was sort of a temporary truce. On February 12, 1692, written instructions were delivered to the Campbell leader to kill as many MacDonalds as he and his men could the following morning. Following orders, the Campbells attacked. They killed 38 MacDonalds and many more died from exposure in the hills as they tried to escape the troops.
A visitors' centre shares detailed information of the Glen Coe Massacre. There is also a gift shop and a coffee shop there. A short distance away at the northwest end of the glen is Glencoe Village with many self-catering facilities as well as bed and breakfast establishments. Many tourists choose to experience Glen Coe by the walking paths along the glen. Several bus tours of the Highlands make a quick stop by the visitors' centre as well.
Whether you have the opportunity to stay in nearby Glencoe Village or to drive through the glen, this is a must see. The mountains surrounding the glen are deep green and whether the sun is shining or rain falls the experience will be like no other. Many tourists claim to feel the presence of the murdered MacDonalds still to this day. Indeed, standing in the glen and imagining people scrambling up the snow-covered mountains, sent shivers down my spine. A visit to Glen Coe is a sobering reminder of just how cruel man can be.

Heart Disease Health Center
Country Singer Randy Travis Suffers a Stroke
"The cornerstone of treatment is to provide excellent supportive care," Pinney explained. "This may include the use of ventricular assist devices, which are surgically implanted pumps designed to support the circulation until the heart can recover or until a heart transplant is performed. Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs have been used, but it is not clear whether they are helpful in aiding recovery."
Another expert outlined a similar prognosis.
"Viral myocarditis is an unfortunate condition where the virus attacks the heart muscle, causing heart damage similar to a heart attack," said Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a preventive cardiologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. "In some situations the heart will recover and in others it will not, leading to heart failure. All we can do is give supportive care, careful monitoring and waiting."
Viral cardiomyopathy can be caused by more than 30 different viruses, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These can include common flu viruses, cold viruses, Epstein Barr virus and hepatitis C.
Travis had been trying to get his life back on track following numerous public incidents last year that centered around his use of alcohol. The 11-time Grammy winner pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated in January following his arrest last year when he was found naked after crashing his Pontiac Trans Am.
Some of his most celebrated songs include "Forever and Ever, Amen" and "Three Wooden Crosses." He had 18 singles top the music charts during the 1980s and 1990s.

Wednesday won't be as windy, but it will be a bit cooler than average. The average high is 66 degrees. We are forecasting highs near 60 on Wednesday, with mostly sunny skies.
Warmer air arrives for the end of the week. Highs will be near 70 degrees on Thursday and Friday. A line of showers and storms is forecast to move through central Indiana late Thursday through early Friday. FutureTrak 13 shows the line of rain and storms near the Indiana/Illinois border by 7pm Thursday. We are expecting the rain and storm chances locally from about 9pm Thursday through 4am Friday. This means most of the daylight hours of both days will be dry.
The weekend forecast is still a bit tricky. Some of the latest information has the weekend warmer than earlier thinking. Right now we are sticking with highs in the 60s, but stay tuned for updates. the weekend will end with rain chances later Sunday.

Yesterday's death of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman from an apparent drug overdose is being discussed by Seattle Times readers who are taking time out from celebrating the Seahawks Super Bowl win, but his loss may also be a small setback for the gun prohibition movement.
Should the manner of Hoffman's death be exploited to throw a stigma on the gun control effort? Put that another way: Would anti-gunners exploit an apparent drug overdose death if the victim were, say, Detroit rocker and stalwart pro-gunner Ted Nugent?
Hoffman was a narrator, with actress Julianne Moore, last year of an anti-gun cartoon short that urged viewers to "demand action" in the wake of the Newtown tragedy. At the time, the New York Daily News said Mayors Against Illegal Guns was "behind" the cartoon. The slogan, "Demand Action," has become something of a battle cry for gun prohibitionists, including former Congresswoman Gabrielle "Gabby" Giffords, who appeared in Olympia last week with husband, Mark Kelly, to push a gun control agenda for the Evergreen State. National Gun Rights Examiner David Codrea weighs in here on the Hoffman death.
While the cartoon demonized firearms, it now appears Mr. Hoffman had a few demons of his own. Found with a syringe in his arm at a New York apartment he was renting, according to the lengthy story in the Seattle Times, Hoffman reportedly had a long-running drug abuse problem. However, he also reportedly went through rehab last year and playwright David Bar Katz was quoted by the New York Times saying he saw the actor last week and he was "clean and sober."
A distinguished and award-winning actor for his 2005 performance in "Capote," the New York Post said police found drug evidence in his apartment including envelopes marked "Ace of Spades," which the newspaper identified as a "brand of heroin that hasn't been seen on the streets since around 2008 in Brooklyn."
Meanwhile, last Friday's ABC special report about children and guns is being panned for inaccuracies and outright distortions. There is a lot of effort and money being invested in attacking gun rights as the new year enters its second month.
The report, "Young Guns: A Diane Sawyer Special," had some interesting numbers. In 2010, the report said, 98 "American kids under age 18" died in accidental shootings. That same year, 1,337 "American kids under age 18" died from gunshot wounds.
That same year, according to the Centers for Disease Control, "seven teens ages 16 to 19 died every day from motor vehicle injuries." The CDC reported that in 2010, "about 2,700 teens in the United States aged 16–19 were killed and almost 282,000 were treated and released from emergency departments for injuries suffered in motor-vehicle crashes."
One is compelled to wonder how many of those teen gun-related deaths were connected to gang activity.
Perhaps the worst part of the report, according to a stinging critique in The Blaze, happened when ABC producers left unloaded guns where children would find them, to see how the youngsters would react. No responsible gun owner would do something like that.

JWC TO THOMAS CARLYLE ; 3 August 1843; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18430803-JWC-TC-01; CL 17: 9-10
Thursday [3 August 1843]
If you go on board tonight this letter will reach you no sooner than if written tomorrow and addressed to Scotsbrig—but if you do not and tomorrow there be a second day for you without any news, why then you would be "vaixed"1 and on no account must you be vaixed if one can possibly help it. I cannot however make much of writing today—for it is thundering and raining in a quite soul—confusing manner—that in the first place, then in the second I have a headach—last night the stick-woman who is always shewing me small civilities brought me a present of asse's milk—(God knows where she had got hold of the ass to milk it!) and she bid Helen tell me that if I would please to drink it to my supper I should feel great benefit in the morning—I drank it more for the curiosity of the thing than for any superiority I could trace in it over cows milk—and awoke after two hours sleep with such a headach and such a de[te]station2 of Asse's milk! I was able to get up early to my breakfast but I am not recovered yet nor shall be till I have had a nights sleep—I did myself no good by cleaning the Lamp in the morning. It had ceased to act some time ago and was beginning to lie heavy on my conscience: besides that light is one of the things I do not like to economize in when I am alone—just the more alone I am the more light I need—as I told Darwin the night he drank tea with me, and when the lamp was brought in remarked that "it was surely far too much light for a single woman"!
Darwin by the way has gone out of sight latterly—it is a fortnight I am sure since he was here—he talked then of paying a visit to his Brother and then going down to the Mackintosh's!3
I am sitting in the up-stairs room now while the earth—quake is rumbling beneath—it and the thunder together are almost too much for me— They have washed the ceilings and Helen is now washing the paint and doing the impossible to clean the paper with bread—"Ah!" it takes such a quantity of labour (for a man quite inconceivable)to make what is dirty look one shade more near to clean
But here it is all quite clean and so pretty!— I feel like a little Queen sitting in it—as far as what Mazzini calls "The Material" is concerned—indeed I suppose no queen ever got half the comfort out of a nice room—queens being born to them as the sparks fly upwards4— There are still some finishing strokes to be given—the book shelves are to be put up and the window curtains—and a deal of needle work has to go to the last— But when all is done it will be such a pleasure to receive you and give you tea in your new library! when you have exhausted the world without—
Thanks for your constant little letters— When you come back I do not know how I shall learn to do without them—they have come to be as necessary as any other part of my "daily bread"—I long to hear of your Paulet-day and of the transports of Geraldine—but my dear I must stop—you see that my head is bad and that I am making it worse
Bless you /
Jane C
I am out of paper and reduced to the Butcher's book Love to my own Babbie I hope she has a fire I have one shamefully often

Tuesday February 11, 2014: It's a reality check sort of day. If things aren't going exactly as planned it's time to re-evaluate goals, re-vise your plan and/or improve strategies. Making any necessary changes should be easy... even if it delays progress.
The sky is in a somber mood but don't let limitations, restrictions, depression or low energy get you down. Stay focused, masterful, hard working and be willing to deal with things in a steady methodical way. Keep in mind that time is on your side and don't despair... more effort often means a bigger payoff.
Today and in the coming weeks keep your eyes, ears, heart and mind open... and take notes.
Today's Quote
We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right. Nelson Mandela
Please note: The sky speaks to you if you will let it. Every day it delivers a message that each person hears in a uniquely different way. What do these daily self help messages mean to you and your life? To find an astrologer or to find out more about Patricia ~ click here.

Mission Phase 2
Up and at'em, recruits! It's time to put years of academy training to use! We've docked with the space station, and we've got a mission to complete! Since the year 2000, astronauts from the United States, Canada, Europe, Russia and Japan have lived aboard this working laboratory.
When the station is completed in the year 2010, it will provide quarters for a crew of six who will be living and working side by side in an area that is equivalent to a five-bedroom house. The station is the most complex engineering project that human life-forms have ever undertaken. It is the result of teamwork and international cooperation, all working toward expanding humanity's presence across the solar system. Biological and physical experiments take place in onboard laboratories, and additional experiments are conducted outside the station in the harsh environment of space.
Our task cards for this mission indicate an EVA, that's extravehicular activity, or spacewalk for you rookies! And installation of the Japanese Kibo pressurized module. Kibo is Japan's primary contribution to the station and is a complex facility. Astronaut Akihiko Hoshide is assigned as mission specialist to assist with the assembly, activation and checkout of the Kibo component.
Cadets, it's time to put your training and international knowledge to the test by playing Mission Matchup! See if you can correctly discover and match international contributions to human life-form's quest to reach to infinity and beyond!
Mission Matchup Game
Mankind has been interested in the stars and space for hundreds of years. For years many visionaries worked independently of one another developing ideas and innovations that other generations would eventually build upon. Scientists from around the world are continuing the work that laid the foundation for modern flight and space travel. Today, there is a spirit of international cooperation among space agencies and countries whose work will benefit humankind and ultimately lead to the completion of the ISS in 2015.
On November 13, 1981, the Canadarm was flown into space as an integral part of the ISS. Canada continues to expand the robotic arm with its newest addition Dextre in 2008.
F. Graf Zepplin built and tested the first Zepplin airship in 1900. Nine years later, Zepplin founded the first airline company, launching Germany's long history of air transportation.
This country's contribution to the ISS is the Kibo laboratory. It will be assembled over three missions. Kibo means hope in Japanese.
French brothers, Joseph and Etienne Montgolfier are credited as pioneers and developers of the hot air balloon. In 1783, they conducted the first untethered flights.
Russia's launching Sputnik marked the world's first artificial satellite in space. In 1961, cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was the first man launched into space.
In 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. With his first step, he said, "That's one small step for man…one giant leap for mankind."
On March 30, 2006, Marcos Pontes became the first Brazilian astronaut from in space. He traveled to the ISS where he spent one week conducting experiments for his country.
Italian Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) made some of the earliest known scientific observations on the subject of flight.

Chad Wienen was again victorious at round four of the 2012 AMA ATV Motocross National Championship. The series returned to his hometown track at Sunset Ridge MX in Walnut, Illinois. Wienen once again swept both motos of the day, making it seven out of the eight moto wins this season and further extending his lead in the championship point standings.
At the last event of the series in Budds Creek, Wienen injured his hand which allowed John Natalie to win, thus breaking Wienen' impressive win streak. Natalie tried to put a seed of doubt in everyone's mind that maybe Chad was able to be beat, however, Chad has shown he is the dominant rider as Natalie again gets beat by the privateer.
Motoworks/Can-Am's Joel Hetrick grabbed the ATVRiders.com Fastest Qualifier Award to kick off the day at Sunset Ridge. Wienen Motorsports//Yamaha's Chad Wienen kept rolling along like he has all season. Out of the gate for Moto 1, he gapped the field and battled with with Motoworks/Can-Am's Joel Hetrick throughout the fifteen-lap race. Hetrick never lost site of the leader and although he tried, he could not make up a good passing opportunity so he had to settle for second place.kept Wienen in his sights all day but despite all efforts to take the win, Hetrick wasn't able to make the pass on Wienen. Motoworks/Can-Am's John Natalie settled into third and chased the battle of Hetrick and Wienen throughout the moto.
In Moto 2, it was much of the same. Wienen had to chase Thomas Brown for 5 laps before assuming the lead again. The trio following however, Brown, Hetrick and Natalie, made it tough on Wienen to get away. In the end Natalie stuck real close and it was a margin of victory of only one second over Natalie. Third place rider Brown, came across the line two seconds later making it one of the most exciting finishes of the year.
Wienen swept both motos for the overall win, while Natalie went 2-3 for second place and Hetrick took third with a 2-4 score. Thomas Brown put together fourth overall with 7-3 finishes, putting him in fifth place in the championship standings.
As reported at Budds Creek, I don't think Natalie can make a move on Wienen in the points unless one of two things happen, either Wienen gets hurt and can't finish the season, or Natalie figures out a way to ride harder and beat the Yamaha rider. I was amused at Natalie's comments last race but the fact is this guy couldn't string together championships when the Suzuki factory teams were dominating the series and now Can Am is being bested by a quasi-factory quad being ridden by a factory caliber rider. Good on Wienen, hopefully this is the year he earns his title.
The 2012 AMA ATV Motocross Championship heads to Ballance MX in Oakland, Ky., for round five of the ten-race series. For more information, please visit www.atvmotocross.com.

FDA Declares Formulation of Four Loko, Others, as 'Unsafe'
Related Links
Statement of CSPI Executive Director Michael F. Jacobson
November 17, 2010
I applaud the FDA for tackling youth-oriented caffeinated alcoholic drinks and effectively getting them reformulated. Four Loko and Joose might no longer have caffeine, but they still contain three to four beers worth of alcohol in 23-ounce, single-serving cans. Thats a bad idea that deserves further scrutiny from regulators at the federal, state, and local levels. That these drinks are made with kid-friendly flavors like watermelon, blue raspberry, and lemonade says all one needs to know about their target audience. Government regulators would save a lot of young people from preventable traffic crashes, sexual assaults, and alcohol poisonings by regulating these drinks serving-sizes and alcohol content with greater care.

In the days after Oregon's Alamo Bowl win over Texas, the Ducks' pride in a third straight bowl victory was mixed with a tinge of frustration.
As successful as the UO football team's 11-2 season was, in the first year under head coach Mark Helfrich, the Ducks had bigger goals. Back home on his couch following the bowl trip, linebacker Rodney Hardrick was reminded of those goals every time he saw a commercial for the Bowl Championship Series title game.
"Those two losses hit us last year," Hardrick said. "We're not satisfied with where we're at."
Oregon's 2013 season was derailed after the Ducks started 8-0 and reached the No. 2 ranking in the country. With Marcus Mariota playing through a significant knee injury, Oregon missed early scoring opportunities that allowed Stanford to set an overpowering tone in the Cardinal's 26-20 victory on Nov. 7. Two weeks later, their title hopes seemingly dashed, the Ducks looked like a team that thought it had nothing left to play for in a 42-16 defeat at Arizona.
That day, and in a narrow Civil War victory the following week, the Oregon football program seemed like it needed a kick in the seat of the pants. Now, two months into the winter portion of the offseason, the Ducks sound like a team rejuvenated, ready to attack spring drills when they start in another month.
"We're taking last season and using it as motivation," Hardrick said. "As in, that's not good enough. Good teams get complacent and expect (success) to come. But right now, we're working for it."
For Oregon defenders like Hardrick, this was going to be an offseason of renewal regardless of last season's results.
Long-time defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti had decided the 2013 season would be his last, and he told the Ducks as much a few days before the Alamo Bowl. A dominating defensive effort followed, with Oregon returning two interceptions for touchdowns and allowing only one Texas scoring drive in the Alamo Bowl.
Helfrich then tabbed inside linebackers coach Don Pellum to replace Aliotti as coordinator. The former UO player and long-time position coach went to work tweaking the defense's offseason regimen, demanding more accountability from players and setting up weekly tests on the Ducks' defensive schemes.
"DP's not playing around," defensive lineman DeForest Buckner said.
Each Sunday, defenders are issued film on a different "spoke" in Oregon's defensive scheme. They study it for a few days, are tested on the concepts Thursday, then review the results of the tests Friday in position meetings.
With the film on hand, the tests are essentially open-book. But taking them in that manner defeats the purpose, Hardrick said.
"The answers are right there," he said. "But we're trying to get guys not to just get the right answers, but to see improvement. We're finding out what we don't know, rather than just, let's get 100 percent.
"In the past, spring ball had a lot of re-teaching. That's what we're doing now, so that when we start practices we're not reviewing, we're ready to go and we're detailing."
Hardrick said Pellum's strict standards of accountability are being matched this offseason by Oregon's wide receivers, who are in their first full offseason under second-year position coach Matt Lubick. Senior Keanon Lowe is a leader there, but redshirt freshman Darren Carrington has been an example of underclassmen who have followed suit.
Players have been assigned to small groups for weight-lifting, usually two veterans with a younger player, to keep the newcomers from congregating together and missing out on leadership opportunities. Hardrick lifts with Tony Washington and Tyrell Robinson; Hardrick benefits from lifting with a stronger guy in Washington, and Robinson gets to be around two of the team's most respected leaders.
Those mentoring relationships are in place off the field as well. The Ducks have taken the concept of "spotting each other" in the weight room into their social lives, watching over each other away from the football facilities.
"We're just raising our standards," Hardrick said. "Everyone else is hopping on board. Before, you'd have a couple groups here and there. Now our standard as a team is rising."
In no other way is that more evident than the Ducks' determination to get bigger and stronger this offseason. Though a healthy Mariota probably would have changed the tenor of the Stanford and Arizona games, the fact remains that Oregon got pushed around at the line of scrimmage in the two losses.
The Ducks are determined not to have that be the case in 2014.
"It's a big priority," Buckner said. "You look at us and we don't really pass the eyeball test. It's a really big emphasis."
Players said the push to get bigger and stronger is as much borne from a determination by the Ducks themselves to address a perceived weakness as it is a directive from the staff.
"The culture in the weight room is different," Hardrick said. "Everyone's trying to get better. Guys are screaming and yelling. The environment overall is way better than before."
Buckner said he's putting more emphasis on power lifts like the bench press and squat, along with the explosive Olympic lifts. Players talked of doing fewer reps at higher weight to raise their max lifts more frequently and build more power.
For linemen, drills done outside the weight room in strength and conditioning sessions have changed too. Offensive guard Hamani Stevens said drills are more position-specific, with linemen pushing and throwing heavy weights around on the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex's outdoor practice fields.
Indeed, the push to get bigger and stronger isn't limited to the defense.
"If we're not big, we're not going to move the ball," offensive tackle Tyler Johnstone said.
For the last few years, speed has been the Ducks' hallmark. They don't want to lose that, but they also know that different opponents might require different styles of play.
"We're not going to lose the explosiveness we've had," defensive lineman T.J. Daniel said. "We're just going to gain some more power and gain some more strength so we don't get pushed around."
The coaching staff is doing its part to address those needs as well. With ink barely dry on letters of intent from the 2014 signing class, UO coaches are already well underway evaluating talent for 2015.
Primarily, that involves watching film of prospects, and getting started on the extensive profiles the Ducks assemble on recruits, both of their on-field performance and their character off the field.
Helfrich isn't looking to scrap Oregon's identity as an up-tempo, spread-option dynamo, but issues of size and power can be addressed in recruiting.
"That's an all-hands-on-deck kind of deal," Helfrich said. "We need to get bigger and better on both sides of the ball up front. Part of that is recruiting. Part of that is how we coach them. Part of that is strength and conditioning. Everybody's all in.
"We need to recruit the best version of what fits our culture, and what's our style. But then you've got to be able to tweak it. You're going to play Stanford drastically different than you're going to play Washington State – that's just a fact."
Along with recruiting, Oregon's coaches are conducting quality control: "everything from nutrition, practice planning, lifting, scheming in every phase," Helfrich said. "And then, what are we going to do more of, less of, different, better, whatever."
It's been two months of reflection and adjustments for the Oregon football program since the Alamo Bowl victory. If all goes well, Hardrick won't be watching commercials for college football's premier bowl games from his couch next winter. The Ducks will be featured in them, and Hardrick will be preparing to play in one.

|Vandals sputter
MOSCOW, Idaho – Struggles continued for the University of Idaho's offense and the result was a 24-11 homecoming loss to Louisiana Tech Saturday afternoon at the Kibbie Dome.
Coach Robb Akey was succinct in his assessment: "Very disappointed. … There were plenty of opportunities."
The defense and specials teams made more of the opportunities that came their way. Idaho's first two points were when Andre Ferguson caught up with Lennon Creer in the end zone, double-duty receiver/returner Justin Veltung returned a punt 81 yards to score late in the game, and in-between kicker Trey Farquhar drilled a 43-yard field goal. Add to that a 50-yard average by punter Bobby Cowan.
The offense, however, sputtered.
"We just weren't executing," said quarterback Brian Reader, who completed 19 of 47 attempts for 244 yards with three interceptions. "I put a lot of blame on myself. The defense did a great job. They made stops. We needed to put points on the board."
Drives started but all too often skidded to a halt with a miscue of some sort or another. In addition to the interceptions, there was a lost fumble and the Vandals managed just two-of-16 third-down conversions.
The defense, however, was doing its part. It thwarted Louisiana Tech on all but three of its 16 third-down conversion attempts and it tallied five tackles-for-loss, which includes two quarterback sacks. It had quarterback Nick Isham frequently on the run with seven quarterback hurries in addition to two pass breakups. Gary Walker led the defensive effort with 15 total tackles with Tre`Shawn Robinson adding 10 and Korey Toomer totaling 10, which includes both sacks.
"It didn't go the way we wanted," Toomer said. "There are always big plays that are going to happen on the field. Today, Louisiana Tech just got the best of it."
Idaho falls to 1-5 overall and 0-2 in the WAC. Louisiana Tech is 2-4, 1-1.

Baseball Captures Horizon League Championship With 2-1 Victory Over Butler
May 25, 2003
Fairborn, Ohio - Junior shortstop Jordan DeVoir connected for a walk-off home-run off of Butler reliever Randy Miles to lead off the bottom of the ninth inning lifting the University of Illinois at Chicago to the 2-1 victory over Butler in the Horizon League Tournament Championship and the automatic bid to the NCAA Regional at Wright State's Nischwitz Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
With the victory, UIC ties a school-record with their 39th victory of the season against 16 losses. The Flames will now advance to the NCAA Regionals with the pairings announced at 11:30 a.m. (CST) on ESPN2 on Monday morning. Butler ends the season at 34-27.
"What a great experience," UIC head coach Mike Dee said. "We deserved it, we have some guys that have worked so hard for four years and they went out there and played relaxed and with confidence.
"It was a great game all-around."
UIC right-hander Marcus Goodman allowed one runs and five hits, while striking out a career-high eight batters in 7.1 innings of work. Sophomore reliever David Haehnel surrendered one hit and struck out two batters in 1.2 innings to improve his record to 6-1 on the campaign. Miles (3-2) took the loss for the Bulldogs.
UIC got on the board in the bottom of the third inning as Mike Hughes, the Horizon League Tournament MVP, launched a two-out opposite-field solo homer, his eighth of the season, to give the Flames the 1-0 advantage.
Butler threatened in the top of the third inning as the Bulldogs had runners at first and third with one out, before Goodman induced center fielder Dale Mueller into an inning-ending, 6-4-3 double-play.
Butler starter Aaron Phillips' pitched himself out of a jam in the bottom of the sixth inning after hitting both J.P. Carey and J.P. Moran, and walking Brad Ryan to load the bases with out for DeVoir. DeVoir grounded to shortstop Justin McKinley, who forced Ryan at second to end the inning.
McKinley began a rally for Butler in the top of the eighth inning as he doubled down the left-field line to open the frame. Butler pinch-hitter Jeff Albert laid down a bunt single to put runners at first and second for Bulldogs' left fielder Jonathan Day.
Day laid down a sacrifice bunt that moved both McKinley and pinch runner Matt Crews over a base. Mueller stepped to the plate and grounded out to short, allowing McKinley to score and even things up at 1-apiece.
Following the contest, DeVoir, Hughes, senior catcher Kevin Nelson and freshman Ryan Martin were all named to the Horizon League All-Tournament team.

HOLLYWOOD — Happy Birthday Dad, and God Bless America.
Oklahoma seismologists recorded a bigger-than-ever-felt earthquake hitting the central section of the Sooner State on Saturday. This continues a highly disturbing trend. Things are so bad in California that even the earthquakes are moving back to Oklahoma.
Herman Cain was hit by a third sex harassment charge Friday from a one-time staffer who said he once invited her to his hotel room. There's a standard explanation. Like a lot of CEOs he likes to travel with a secretary near his bed in case he gets an idea at night.
Herman Cain's GOP poll numbers rose Friday despite charges of sexual misconduct against him. Democrats remained mum. Their baggage includes Ted Kennedy, John Edwards and Gary Hart, not to mention that only Jerry Rice had more career grabs than Bill Clinton.
Fashion Week reported Tuesday that there's a huge demand for the wedding dress worn by Kim Kardashian. The madness has even reached down to the Christmas toy market. Little girls used to play Barbie and Ken get married, and now they play Kim cheats on Kris with Reggie.
The Labor Department said Friday the U.S. added 80,000 jobs, which lowered unemployment one-tenth of a point. However, that doesn't count discouraged workers. Every time a Labor Department pollster goes into a bar to count heads, he never comes out again.
Arab television network Al-Jazeera announced in Dubai on Thursday that it will launch an all-sports channel to air throughout the Arab world. It's an encouraging sign. If we can get the Arab world hooked on football, Israel will be safe on Sundays, and that's a start.
Cuba announced Friday that Cubans may buy or sell private homes. However, the law forbids the Cuban exiles in Miami from buying houses in Cuba. They want them to stay in Florida and continue their important work preventing Al Gore from becoming president.
The FCC was ruled to have improperly fined CBS for Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction exposing her breast at the Super Bowl. This was seven years ago when it was a shock. Now they come flying out on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars" and nobody thinks a thing about it.
Congress subpoenaed White House records of the half-billion dollar U.S. loan to Solyndra solar company. Solar energy would mean no more oil spills, but that doesn't mean it's safe. California has proven that a sun spill can cause narcissistic personality disorder and an outbreak of plastic surgery.
New York's Wall Street protesters tried to block the entrance to Goldman-Sachs. This was really dumb. These traders could destroy Occupy Wall Street by borrowing money against the movement, securitizing it, then selling the bonds to pension funds and Greece.
Jack Abramoff was released from federal prison Sunday and went on CBS's "60 Minutes" to talk about crooked lobbying. He can't understand what he did wrong. He went to jail for fleecing Indian tribes when the first twenty U.S. presidents were elected on their record of doing that.
L.A. Dodgers owner Frank McCourt divided six houses with wife Jamie Friday after her affair with the chauffeur ended their marriage. He must sell the team after looting it to buy up L.A. real estate. He took team revenue and bought six L.A. mansions when he should have spent that money signing better ballplayers and sealing the glass divider in the limo.

This was revealed by health workers in Rulindo district after over 200 men in Rulindo turned up for vasectomy, a male permanent birth control method.
District administration sensitized men to be part of family planning program as a way of helping their wives and improve the family welfare.
Family planning information and services help individuals maintain their overall health and improve family and community health by supporting men and women to have children when their health, financial conditions, and personal situations are optimal.
"Though women outweigh men in responding to the program, men are increasingly embracing it too compared to previous years," said Jean d'Amour Manirafasha; in charge of health in Rulindo district.
Family planning is the voluntary planning and action taken by individuals to prevent, delay or achieve a pregnancy.
Family Planning (FP) is a national priority for poverty reduction and socioeconomic development of the country.

RS & GIS Based Landslide Hazard Zonation of Mountainous Terrains A Study from Middle Himalayan Kullu District, Himachal Pradesh, India
Chandel Vishwa B. S.1, Map Curator, Brar Karanjot Kaur1, Associate Professor, Chauhan Yashwant2, Product Specialist (Remote Sensing)

Online published on 4 January, 2012.
Landslides are short lived and suddenly occurring natural phenomena; it is just a hazard when it occurs in an uninhabited place, however it turns into a disaster causing extraordinary landscape changes and destruction of life and property when it occurs in the vicinity of human habitation. Landslides are particularly common and cause massive damage in tectonically active Himalayas. This work conducts a landslide hazard zonation in western Himalayan district of Kullu in Himachal Pradesh using remote sensing and GIS. The western Himalayan district of Kullu with a location on the southern side of Pirpanjal mountain range, an established history and inherent susceptibility to massive landslides has been chosen for landslide hazard zonation. The satellite imageries of LANDSAT ETM+, IRS P6, ASTER along with Survey of India (SOI) topographical sheets formed the basis for deriving baseline information on various parameters like slope, aspect, relative relief, drainage density, geology/lithology and land use/land cover. The weighted parametric approach was applied to determine degree of susceptibility to landslides. The landslide probability values thus obtained were classified into no risk, very low to moderate, high, and very high to severe landslide hazard risk zones. The results show that over 80 per cent area is liable to highsevere landslide risk and within this about 32 per cent has very high to severe risk.

College Hockey:Trapp Scores Two as Sacred Heart Tops Bentley
FAIRFIELD, Conn. — Freshman Bear Trapp scored a pair of goals and added an assist as Sacred Heart beat Bentley College 4-2 in Atlantic Hockey action Saturday night at the Milford Ice Pavilion. With the win, Sacred Heart won the season series between the two schools (2-1-1) and improved to 14-9-1 overall and 11-6-1 in the AHA, while Bentley fell to 9-10-2 and 7-6-2.
Junior goaltender Jason Smith held Bentley to two goals or less for the fourth time this season and earned his 12th win of the season by making 23 saves. Both of Bentley's goals were scored by freshman Jeff Gumaer, who has a team-high 10 goals for the Falcons.
The Pioneers controlled play from the opening face off, holding an 8-1 advantage in shots in the opening minutes of the game. The pressure paid off 8:59 into the contest as Dave Grimson netted his second goal of the season. Kyle Tull broke into the Bentley zone and fired a shot that was saved by junior Ray Jean, but Tull and a Bentley defender went sliding into the crease and into Jean. The rebound fell into the slot to a wide open Grimson, who wristed a shot just under the crossbar and over a helpless Jean.
Following the opening goal, the game evened out for the remainder of the period, but the score would not remain stable as the Pioneers added a second with 50 seconds remaining in the opening period. Pierre-Luc O'Brien faked a shot from the left circle and made a pass cross-ice to Trapp, who was unmarked on the back post. Trapp one-timed a shot that slid under a sprawling Jean to give Sacred Heart a 2-0 lead heading into the first intermission.
Sacred Heart scored just 1:37 into the second period to take a 3-0 lead as Alexandre Parent scored on a shot from the left circle that beat Jean at the far post over his left shoulder. Bentley grabbed a goal back four minutes later as a centering pass by freshman Jeff Gumaer hit the skate of Sacred Heart defenseman Scott Marchesi in front of the goal and deflected past Smith.
The Pioneers reestablished a three-goal six minutes later as Trapp scored his second goal of the game and 11th of the season. Gumaer netted his second of the night with less than three minutes to play in the second period on the power play. A shot by Brendan McCartin from the right point was blocked out front and fell to Gumaer who beat Smith short side for his 10th goal of the season.
Geordan Murphy played well in relief for Bentley making 18 saves without allowing a goal, including 14 in the third period to keep Bentley within striking distance.
Bentley returns to action next weekend as the Falcons head to West Point for an important Atlantic Hockey series with Army.

D.I.Y Aquatic BiomesMay 8th, 2013
It's Austin Mini Maker Faire time again! This year I demoed some DIY Aquatic Biomes: completely self-sustainable habitats for plants and little animals. These look fantastic, are completely enthralling, and are amazingly easy to make.
I first became familiar with the concept of a self-contained ecosystem many years ago with the EcoSphere. They're cool little red shrimp habitats sold commercially, but the saying goes 'if you can't open it, you don't own it'.
Through luck and curiosity, I found we have a genus of tiny (1/4″) freshwater shrimp called Hyalella living in Ladybird Lake that makes an excellent candidate for a biome inhabitant.
Hyalella shrimp, copepods, pond snails, nematodes, flatworms, along with fanworts, watermilifoil (not native, but we found it in the lake), pondweed, and duckweed (and many little hitchikers) make up these globes of awesome. I have one on my desk at work and find myself staring off into my own little world…literally.
If you're interested in making your own I've made some instructions, and a guide to some of the creatures I found for my biomes. If you do make your own biome, I'd love to hear how your experiments go!

On March 25, 1951, farmer, entrepreneur, novelist, screenwriter, film producer, director, distributor, producer Oscar Devereaux Micheaux died in Charlotte, North Carolina. Micheaux died of a heart attack which on a business trip.
Michaeaux was born January 2, 1884 in Metropolis, Illinois and raised in Kansas. He is most remembered as a pioneer black filmmaker. He produced over 44 films – the majority of which he wrote, directed, produced, and promoted.
Micheaux was a pioneer in the literal sense as well. In 1904, Micheaux took out a 500 acre homestead in part of the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. Despite hardships – mostly in the form of disreputable white farm equipment suppliers -- his farm was a success.
Micheaux's experiences on his farm did not embitter him, but inspired him to begin yet another successful enterprise: this time as a writer.
His books included
- The Conquest: The Story of a Negro Pioneer (1913)
- The Forged Note: A Romance of The Darker Races (1915)
- His autobiography, The Homesteader (1917)
- The Wind from Nowhere (1941)
Typical in the US at that time, there were many artificial barriers erected to keep Negro writers from succeeding. But the resourceful Micheaux made a way to succeed. He sold his own books door to door. They were very popular - even among his white neighbors in South Dakota.
Micheaux eventually formed his own publishing company, Western Book and Supply Company. His book, The Homesteader, caught the attention of Black-owned film Company Lincoln Films. This led to Micheaux beginning yet another career - as a filmmaker.
In 1918, Lincoln Films, based in Los Angeles California, initially contracted with Micheaux to produce the silent film version of The Homesteader. Events led to Micheaux deciding to produce the movie himself. He set up the Micheaux Film and Book Company and completed work on The Homesteader in 1919. Micheaux became the first black independent filmmaker.
While his films were panned by critics, they were wildly popular with black audiences who longed to see Negro faces on the big screen. Eventually, Micheaux managed to get his films shown in black and some white theaters across the country.
By today's standards, Micheaux's work might seem primitive, predictable, stereotypical, - but his worked paved the way for more blacks to find work in Hollywood. Micheaux introduced audiences across the county to the talented and charismatic young Paul Robeson, (Body and Soul). Robert Earl Jones - father and vocal twin to James Earl Jones- starred in 1939's Lying Lips.
Other notable actors who appeared in Oscar Micheaux films:
- Edna Mae Harris
- Lawrence Chenault
- Boxer Sam Langford
- Lorenzo Tucker known as the "Black Valentino,"
- Blues singer Trixie Smith African American blues singer
- Amanda Randolph, the first African-American performer to star in a regularly-scheduled network television show.
Here is a link to the one of Micheaux's best surviving works, Within Our Gates, a powerful look at racism and violence in the American South.

ALSRC, Apollo Lunar Sample Return Container, Apollo 11
The Apollo Lunar Sample Return Container (ALSRC) was an aluminum box with a triple seal manufactured by the Nuclear Division of Union Carbide. It was used on Apollo lunar landing missions to preserve a lunar-like vacuum around the samples and protect them from the shock environment of the return flight to earth. An aluminum mesh liner helped absorb impacts. Prior to flight, each box was loaded with sample container bags and other sample containment devices. The "rock box" was then closed under vacuum so that it would not contain pressure greater than the lunar ambient pressure. On the moon, while samples were being loaded, the seals were protected by a Teflon film and a cloth cover which were removed just prior to closing the box. Two ALSRC's were used on each mission.
This ALSRC was used in July 1969 during Apollo 11, the first manned lunar landing mission, by astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. The sample-laden container was opened under controlled conditions in the Lunar Receiving Laboratory at the Houston Manned Space Center. It carried 21.8 kg (47.7 lbs) of lunar material from the Sea of Tranquility.
It was transferred from NASA to the Smithsonian and placed on display in 1970, soon after its historic mission.

in other words: sum numbers in the range's column A where Column B= cell A1.
Probably simple but...
VB:Dim Code As Range Dim MonthColumns As Integer Dim RowCount As Integer Dim CalcResult As Double CalcResult = 0 RowCount = 0 'Lookup code and sum the corresponding month(s) amount if the code is between the code range For Each Code In Range(Database) RowCount = RowCount + 1 On Error Goto SkipCode If Code >= FromCode And Code
I would use a SUMPRODUCT if using non-VBA method, equivalent would be:
I have tried using Union and Evaluate to join the criterion ranges PcCol and AcCol but to no avail. This is embedded in a loop which could have up to 50000 iterations so I think I would like to avoid using .Formula="=SUMPRODUCT(etc)" method.
Does anybody have a good idea about how to achieve equivalent multiple criterion SumIf in VBA?
For reference, PcCol, AcCol and pVal and column ranges returned thru Inputbox Type:=8.
Many thanks

Haha, Hilton was never really the horse from hell, but for those of you who don't know four months ago he was so dangerous that we couldn't get a saddle on him (this is a problem which has escalated in 2 summer's that we've had him).
I am so pleased to say he is a completely reformed character, I have stepped up to the plate and demanded respect from him (with hour upon hour of groundwork) and he looks to me for guidance all the time, he also trusts me and his confidence has grown so much.
Over the last month we've been to 2 dressage competitions which have gone without a hitch and I even had a jumping lesson on him today (where my superstar boy jumped 80cm with about 30cm to spare). As my instructor says, we are a real team now!
After we got a 2nd in prelim 10 yesterday I ended up in tears (happy ones for the first time in ages).
So many people told us to sell Hilton, if we'd have listened to them and given up then I would never have the partner I have today :D
Below are pictures from the second test yesterday (which i went wrong in) resulting in a rather disappointing 8th place-that'll teach me not to look at the tests before hand- and one from the one a couple of weeks ago where we came 6th, trust me not to have the camera on hand for the better test :P
