He enjoyed the view as he counted off the seconds. Then he pulled his rip cord. From experience, Joe expected the chute to jerk him up as it opened and caught air. He felt a slight tug, that was all.

Suddenly the landing gear descended from the Mustang. "Now what?" Joe muttered as the plane's nose dipped. When the plane swooped down in front of the van, Frank veered to the side of the road and slammed on the brakes. "Get out!" he shouted.

The security guard directed Frank and Joe into a courtyard surrounded by ivy-covered walls. "What is this place?" Joe asked. They both spun around at a loud metallic boom behind them. A metal gate had crashed to the ground, sealing off the exit. Then each window in the building was thrown open, and from the second floor up, long ropes flopped to the ground. "I think we have visitors," Frank said. Suddenly the walls came alive. Clutching the ropes, a dozen people rappeled downward. Within seconds, they surrounded the brothers. Frank gulped. The black uniforms weren't very welcoming, nor were the flak vests and gas masks. But the worst-definitely the worst-were the submachine guns, pointed at their heads!

March 1, 2002
Tempe, AZ - Casey Jacobsen has taken some lumps this season, but he and Stanford have still found a way to win.
The 17th-ranked Cardinal will try to complete a road sweep of Arizona opponents Saturday as they conclude the regular season against Pac-10 rival Arizona State.
Coming off home losses to UCLA and Southern California last week, there was talk of Stanford (18-8, 11-6) possibly being on the bubble for the NCAA tournament.
But that was before Jacobsen, who played the second half after getting a cut over his right eye that required five stitches, and center Curtis Borchardt silenced some skeptics in a 76-71 victory at No. 14 Arizona on Thursday.
"Everybody is talking about us being in the NIT, and I didn't buy that for a minute." said Jacobsen, who shot only 2-of-6 from the field and finished with six points. "And I actually find that insulting. We are a much more quality basketball team than that."
Borchardt picked up the offensive slack for Jacobsen, who leads the Pac-10 in scoring at 22 points per game, by scoring 28 points, including hitting six crucial free throws in the final 15 seconds to seal the game. The 7-foot center also pulled down nine rebounds, keying Stanford's 25-11 rebounding advantage in the second half.
The Cardinal could be seeded anywhere from second to sixth in next week's Pac-10 tournament in Los Angeles.
Arizona State (14-12, 7-10) is locked into seventh place in the Pac-10 and will play the second seed in the first round of the tournament.
The Sun Devils played well for 30 minutes against No. 21 California on Thursday but were on the short end of a 91-80 defeat.
Tommy Smith had a season-high 22 points while Chad Prewitt - playing despite torn ligaments in his elbow - added 17 of his 19 in the second half for the Sun Devils, who held a 59-53 lead with 9:43 to play before faltering.
Stanford has won eight straight against Arizona State, including six in a row at Tempe, Ariz., to take a 27-24 lead in the all-time series. Jacobsen carried the Cardinal to a 90-81 victory on Jan. 31, scoring a career-high 49 points.

A note from Michael McAlpin, Altec Director of Professional Services
At long last… The first addition of the Altec Quarterly Customer Newsletter. For some time now we have been discussing how to better communicate with our customers. As our doc-link customer base has continued to double year on year, we have been working simply to get resources up to speed fast enough to support, manage and deliver to our diverse customers' demands.
You will find a number of very informative articles included in this and subsequent newsletters including: product management discussing the latest features, sales engineering discussing unique ways customers are using the product, support providing tips and tricks and regular free online seminars.
Increased Performance:
We are always working to enhance our customer intimacy model and have taken some very big steps over the last year. We have doubled the size of the support team in 2008. In January of 2009, we officially split the Customer Account Manager Team into two distinct groups — Project Management and Customer Care. These two teams will be able to better focus on their team's individual responsibilities, effective delivery and customer care respectively.
Ongoing Enhancements:
Over the next year we are planning to roll out an online portal for customer self care to include training, FAQs, case review and a detailed knowledge base. Our Customer Survey Metrics are planning to go out at the end of every project and at the close of every case to better help us account for the satisfaction levels of our customers. More information will be coming quarterly.
Better Leveraging Your Investment:
On a separate note, we understand that the nature of the current economic climate is difficult. All companies are tightening budgets, holding cash and working to decrease costs. We have frequently been doing no cost reviews of business processes for many of our customers as they look to leverage their doc-link investment in other areas of their business. Many of our customers use doc-link exclusively in AP, but AR, contracts, legal, HR, supply chain, customer care, etc. all retain paper and have business workflow ideally suited for doc-link. We have found that with very little work, you can leverage doc-link more fully throughout your existing organization, overall making existing resources more productive and allowing them to do more when adding resources is not an option.
We understand the investment you have made in doc-link and hope you all feel that we at Altec are your Business Partner. The more successful you are in deploying, administrating and leveraging the value of your investment, the more successful we will be.

She is ready and equipped to either resolve your issue directly, or act as an inside liaison to someone who can. If an issue cannot be immediately resolved, Lori will follow the issue to ensure speedy response and resolution.
Lori will keep our customers aware of new releases and training schedules as well as opportunities to expand doc-link within your organization thereby maximizing your doc-link investment.

You ask the questions and we provide the answers. Cathy Wood, Senior Technical Trainer, is here to answer your doc-link questions in this "tips and tricks" section. This quarter focuses on your doc-link Vista related questions. Here's a sneak peak at some helpful tips and tricks:
Problem: Documents printed to ERM from Vista operating systems never get captured
When printing to the ERM printer from a Vista workstation, documents hang in the print queue with a status of "sending to printer" or "printing." Documents never get processed by ERM.
Vista and Windows 2008 operating systems have an additional option on printer properties that is not available on XP or Windows 2003. This option allows you to "render print jobs on client computers" and is enabled by default when you add a printer to Vista. If this option is checked, the printed document never gets "released" and ERM cannot process it. On Windows 2003 servers, the "render print jobs on client computers" option is not visible when viewing ERM printer properties from the server so there's no way of knowing this is the cause of the problem.
To get print jobs processed correctly make sure the "render print jobs on client computers" option is unchecked when adding the ERM printer to Vista or Windows 2008 operating systems.
Problem: The smart client takes a long time to load on Vista operating systems
When launching the doc-link Smart Client, the application launcher takes approximately 50-60 seconds to display a login screen. IEEXEC.exe runs in Task Manager for that time and then finally the login screen appears. This is happening on all Vista PCs, but not XP or 2000.
This is a known issue for Vista and Server 2008. It is a Microsoft bug and can be fixed by applying this Microsoft hot fix: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929729
Problem: Auto-index does not appear to be firing on Vista clients, but works from XP clients
No errors are presented to the user, investigation of the Event log on the client shows the following error:
Exception: Unable to cast COM object of type 'AltecMSScript.ScriptControlClass' to interface type 'AltecMSScript.IScriptControl'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{0E59F1D3-1FBE-11D0-8FF2-00A0D10038BC}' failed due to the following error: Error loading type library/DLL. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80029C4A (TYPE_E_CANTLOADLIBRARY)).
In Auto Index you can use VB scripting. This uses the local machine's MSSCRIPT.OCX. How it works is if there is a problem either finding or executing the MSSCRIPT.OCX control, then doc-link has code that will publish the above error in the error log and then round trip it to the server to complete processing. The user will not see the error and the round tripping will happen without their knowledge. Round tripping to the server is generally a bad thing that has bandwidth and performance impacts to the user, so should be avoided if possible.
The problem will manifest running Windows Server 2008 server and Vista clients. May also occur running Windows Server 2003 server and Vista clients.
If you are using vbscripting on your auto-index search on property and the auto-index does not appear to be firing, reregister MSSCRIPT.OCX on either your Windows Server 2008 server or all your Vista clients. MSSCRIPT.OCX is a windows system control that does not appear to be correctly registered on Vista or Windows 2008 server.
To submit your doc-link questions, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
doc-link How To Webinars:
Are you printing and scanning email attachments, excel worksheets, and word documents to get them into doc-link? There's a better way…
In this 3 part series we'll explore several options you may not know you have. Each one hour session will cover installation, deployment and usage, and are applicable for customers on doc-link 2.5 and 2.6.
Ultimately the method you use depends on if the document need to be sent to workflow.
With the economy in bad shape, you drastically need to improve productivity
Doug Tanner MCSE, Senior Sales Engineer
I was talking with a friend of mine over the weekend about how today's businesses will survive with all of the uncertainty in our economy. Ken works as a quality manager for a very large auto company and over the years he's seen his share of highs and lows.
"Doug," he said, "people don't quite understand that the old ways of fixing the problem aren't going to work this time. Imagine your company as a passenger in a bumper car with your pockets full of change. Every time you get bumped, money falls out of your pockets. Raising prices, eating losses, instigating layoffs and using cheaper parts won't steer you away from the other cars. That move is like trying to pick up the change off the floor after every bump or, even worse, settling for having less money in your pocket." Instead of making these types of knee-jerk reactions, he believes we should look at ways of taking what we have and making it better and more productive. I couldn't agree more.
Most of what we are doing today in our processes is the way it is because that's the way it has always worked. In AP processing for example, an invoice will come in it and then it gets sent out to one or more approvers. Sometimes that happens via interoffice mail internally or through courier or delivery services externally. After it is approved, it is then sent back via those same methods and subsequently paid. If you are using doc-link and workflow, you are probably not dealing with the time and cost of a courier, but there still may be more effective ways to streamline the process.
Several doc-link customers that I have been engaged with lately are looking at ways to be more productive and have really been inventive with some of the requests for automation. In one case, it was as simple as putting approvers and their managers in a two tier system of approval escalation. For example, if the approver hasn't reviewed and accepted or declined the invoice in two days, that invoice would be automatically moved to the next highest approver (usually the manager or department head). While this specific example may or may not be the best way for you and your organization to be more productive and effective, it serves as an example of thinking outside of the box and doing things the way it "used to be done". If you already have doc-link in your organization, it doesn't take much to leverage what you have to bring more visibility and control, or allow automation to further enhance your processes to be even more productive.
If you'd like to talk about what doc-link automation can do for your organization, call your sales director, or heck… call me at ext. 1215. I have done a lot of work with customers surrounding different process improvements and really have seen the difference even small changes can make. Every small change can have a huge ripple effect down the (process) line. The increase in productivity can pay back tenfold and may be exactly what your company needs to ride out these challenging times.
Merri Jo Cleair, doc-link Product Manager
Did you know that doc-link 2.6 includes 28 of your enhancement suggestions and requests?
You are the ones using doc-link on a daily basis, so it makes sense that you come up with some of the best ideas. But you may wonder what happens after you take the time to put your suggestions in writing. While we can't fulfill each request immediately, I assure you each one is reviewed by our product committee. Here's what happens:
Because release plans are fluid, I can't tell you today what will be included in doc-link 3.0. But I can tell you that it will include many of your suggestions.
Each quarter I will highlight some of the new features that have been incorporated into doc-link. Here's one that many of you requested – an easy way to move pages from one document to another!
In the doc-link 2.6 viewer you can display document thumbnails. By opening up two documents in the viewer, you can move pages from one document to the other by dragging the thumbnails. And you can use the thumbnails to re-order the pages. It can't get much easier than that.
I have lots more to share with you; doc-link 2.6 has so many great features. But there's always room for improvement. So the next time you say to yourself, 'I wish doc-link could…' please send us an email. We really do want to hear from you.
To submit your enhancement suggestions, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
For any questions on doc-link or to inquire about upgrades, please contact your Customer Care Manager, Lori Corbino at 800.997.9921 (x1224) or email email@example.com

What Now? (CAM5005)
Chris Potter (tenor sax), Kenny Wheeler (flugelhorn), Dave Holland (bass),
John Taylor (piano).
Composed by Kenny Wheeler.
Recorded: New York, June 1-2, 2004
Rating: 99/100 (learn more)
There is no drummer on this track, but Potter's solo has a rhythmic drive that renders drums unnecessary. This solo is also absent the sprawling double-time lines that seem ubiquitous in Potter's oeuvre. However, it displays the ease with which Potter uses the entire range of the saxophone, including the altissimo register. The most striking feature of this near-perfect solo is its use of evolving motives, which Potter facilely transposes and inverts. Potter uses these motives to form overarching phrases that express an agitated yearning sentiment, all the while maintaining an intensity that causes the track to crackle with energy.

I didn't have a shower for my first baby -- can I have one for my second?
I had my first baby out of wedlock and didn't have a shower. Now my husband and I are expecting our first child together. (He has a child from a previous relationship, too.) Is it okay to have a shower for this baby, even though she'll be our third child?

I have a 4 year old. I have changed jobs since he was born. When I found out that I was expecting again, my new co-workers insisted on throwing me a shower because it was the first baby that I would be having while employed there. Against my objections they threw me a shower about a month ago. They all took into consideration that this was baby number 2 for me, so they gave practical gifts like diapers and shampoo and stuff. The best thing about it was that I was able to celebrate my joy with my new friends and coworkers. Its nice to know that you have people that care about you and want to rejoice in the new life with you.posted 06/02/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I think that it's ok to have a shower for this child, especially because it's your first child together with your husband. But also if you had a boy first and now you are having a girl, or vice versa, I think a shower is a great idea. If, however, you are not completely comfortable with the idea of a baby shower, consider having a baby welcoming party, after the baby is born, but before you have him/her christened, and make gifts optional. Ultimately, it is your decision. Have fun!posted 06/02/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
Hi everyone! My dilema is a little different, my question to you guys is should I go to a shower for my nephew and his wife who by the way has never liked me. When I had my first daughter 2 years ago he didn't even call me to say congratulations. They live out of town and have been in town several times, and he has never made the effort to meet my daughter not even a phone call!! I am so hurt with him and now he and his wife have invited me to their baby shower and I can't help but feel so bitter towards them! Should I go??? HELP!!!posted 06/02/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I agree~ you shouldn't throw a shower for YOURSELF, whether it's the first, second, third child.... that is tacky! I don't think it's bad to have a shower thrown for you even if it's your second or third child. My husband and I are having our second child and we both have daughters from previous relationships (so it will be 3 all together). My baby is 8 and can reuse a lot of stuff but some needs to be replaced.posted 06/02/2004 by MadisCloset
I have been involved with several showers for people expecting their second child. My personal belief is that if co-workers, friends, and family want to get together and give gifts/diapers, etc, then you are very blessed. However, it is a personal pet peeve of my for the person who is having the 2nd baby to send out invitations and go register at several places.posted 06/02/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
Who comes up with these social "rules" anyway? I agree we need to maintain certain rules to keep us civilized and well-mannered as a whole community, but come on, no one should decide who gets a party for their expectant baby and who doesn't. Ultimately that is up to your friends and family. Enjoy, and don't let the uptight and snobby people who "frown" upon such an insult against Emily Post (or whoever made this rule up) ruin your happy celebration.posted 06/01/2004 by tiffhughes
of course you should have a shower. i had a daughter 14 years ago not married by the way bad timing. iam now married with a 3 year old i had a shower when i had him then i got pregnant again my son is 9 months old and i decided not to have a shower with him because i already had everything i needed anyway but family and friends still gave gifts to the baby. i am now about 2 months pregnant again and am definatly planning on having a shower with this baby since it will be my last but especially if it turns out to be a girl as we are hoping for. there is nothing wrong with having a shower with every baby if you want to. babies are a blessing and should be treated as such. if certain people don't want to share in this joyous occasion so what.posted 06/01/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
Traditionally you are only supposed to have a baby shower for the first baby, but in the case of never having one I don't have a problem with it. I just think it's tacky when someone throws themselves a shower. If someone wants to throw a shower for a subsequent pregnancy, let them. I am pregnant with my second child which is a boy, my oldest will be 4 1/2 when he's born. I am not expecting a shower, but would never refuse one. I believe the people closest to you will buy gifts for the baby anyway.posted 06/01/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
If your friends want to throw one for you, go right ahead. If you're throwing a party for yourself, sorry--I do think every baby should be celebrated--but you should specify no gifts. Or ask guests to bring their favorite quick'n'easy recipe, or words of wisdom or something like that. JMO but you can celebrate a coming baby without asking for gifts for yourself, whether it's your tenth baby or your first.posted 06/01/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I think just because you have more than one child does not mean that you should have to skip a baby shower. A shower is for people who care about you to get together and have fun and celebrate the new baby. I personally don't see any problem with it, especially if you don't have some things you need like clothes or whatever.posted 06/01/2004 by Kris0500

DES MOINES, Iowa - One year after lighting up the Drake Stadium track with the fastest prep times in Iowa state history, Washington freshman Katie Flood was back on her home track, running against the NCAA's elite. Today, Flood found herself trailing the pack rather than leaving it in her wake, but the fan favorite handled it all in stride, and gained valuable experience from her first NCAA outdoor final. The final few events of the night were eventually postponed due to persistent thunder storms.
A winner of six junior Drake Relay titles and four state track titles in her senior year alone at Dowling Catholic high school in West Des Moines, Flood was constantly greeting well-wishers inside and outside of the track. The public address announcer made special mention of her Iowa state titles and Flood received a big ovation from the crowd.
She was positioned well through the first two laps of her 1,500-meter semifinal, but dropped back a bit on the third lap, and was separated from the top group with one lap to go. Flood ran hard to the finish, placing 10th in her heat in a time of 4:25.75, which wound up 20th overall out of the 24-woman field. She'll earn All-America honorable mention for the effort, but talked about what she'd really take away after the race, when Flood was faced with several television cameras and at least a half-dozen media members.
"I'm kind of glad I got my butt kicked because it shows how much I still need to work," said Flood. "I'm still just a freshman and I hope to improve every year. (Freshman year) has been a great experience and I'm really excited to start training for cross (country)."
Day two in the decathlon for junior Jeremy Taiwo will stretch into day three, as weather delayed the start of the second day by nearly two hours, and then ended the night early with yet another thunder storm. In-between, Taiwo squeezed in three and a half events.
He started his day in the 110-meter hurdles. A year ago it was a crash in the hurdles that derailed Taiwo's scoring opportunity and left him with a nasty concussion that lingered into the summer. Today, Taiwo made it safely through the hurdles with the fifth-fastest time, running 14.49 seconds. Things looked even better after the discus, as Taiwo tossed a personal-best 137-1 to take sixth in that competition. That was 18 feet farther than Taiwo had thrown in his Pac-10 victory.
But the pole vault would put a big bump in the road for the two-time All-American. Taiwo had cleared 15-9 at the Pac-10 meet, but made it hard on himself with two third-attempt clearances to get there. Today he was over 14-5 on his second try, then passed up to 15-1, but missed all three attempts. A disappointed Taiwo took a slow walk across the infield, knowing his point chances were now slim, only because of his elbow injury that would force him to throw the javelin with his left hand.
Taiwo was able to overcome the points lost in the javelin at Pac-10s, but will be hard-pressed to do the same here. He actually had a "lefty" PR on his first attempt of 118-9, and had one attempt remaining when the meet went on hold for what turned out to be the rest of the night. Taiwo will have one last throw and then the 1,500-meters to complete on Friday.
The sophomore season for Pac-10 Champion James Alaka came to a close in today's 200-meter dash semifinal. Running out of lane two, Alaka was slow out of the blocks, made up some ground but couldn't quite get all the way into the mix, and wound up seventh in 21.07 seconds. He'll earn All-America honorable mention for the 200-meters to go with his second team honor for the 4x1 relay.
The Huskies will conclude their NCAA run on Friday with sophomore Logan Miller in the women's pole vault and freshman Megan Goethals in the finals of the 5,000-meters.

2016 Jeep Wrangler
- By admin
- 5 February, 2014
- No Comments
As it was expected Jeep Officials are planning to present a diesel engine for Wrangler, because of its better fuel economy. There was nothing said about the price, but probably the diesel will be a bit more expensive. This new diesel engine will be available in the new 2016 Wrangler, that will be unveiled in 2015. According to an source familiar to industry, the new diesel engine will debut before the end of the model's lifecycle because manufacturer expect that it will improve sales. And after that they will launch restyled model.
2016 Jeep Wrangler: Redesign ande Release Date
At that point, the 2016 Jeep Wrangler will be redesigned, probably with new interior trim and exterior colors. And that is a habit of automakers to present new engine or some upgraded technology to make a buzz for an old version of vehicle. Although marketing has a big part in that, manufacturers added diesel engines because of fuel price and U.S. government mandate for better fuel economy.
This Wrangler's diesel engine will probably be the one that is used in the 2013 Ram pickup and 2014 Grand Cherokee. That would be a turbocharged 3.0-liter Ecodiesel V6 engine, that is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and produces a 240 hp and 420 lb-ft. Its engine is produced by an Italian engine maker VM Motori, where Fiat own some stakes.
The Grand Cherokee's fuel economy is rated at 21 mpg city and 28 mpg highway for the 4×4 model and 30 mpg highway for the 4×2.This diesel engine is a pricey option, for which Jeep is asking a $4,500 premium.
Sales begin this spring.

App Aims: Microsoft Office On The Go, Anytime, Anywhere
Reviewer's Comments
Finally an app for the iPhone and iPod touch that allows you to create, edit and open Microsoft Word 2007 and Excel 2007 files and even email them as attachments directly from your iPhone. Quickoffice Mobile Office Suite truly allows you to take your work with you wherever you go. The app enables you to transfer files to and from your iPhone via WiFi and mount it as a drive on your computer as long as both devices are on the same local network.
The Quickoffice app allows you to work with the look and design of a document just like the Microsoft Office counterpart. There's even a "Find" feature included in both the Word docs and Excel spreadsheets. The interface is easy and intuitive but a help screen is easily available if you need a little assistance.
Some features include:
- Adjust text formatting
- Change the font style, size and color
- Switch background colors
- Highlight text
- Add bullets
- Insert and delete columns and rows
Editing and creating spreadsheets work the same way. With its advanced Spreadsheet Calculation Engine, this allows you to save spreadsheets in its native Microsoft format so there is no content or format loss.
Quickoffice is a very useful and productive app. Not long ago, while out and about running a few errands, we received a phone call from a colleague who needed a copy of a Word document immediately. After hanging up, we promptly launched Quickoffice and emailed an updated version to him right away rather than wasting precious time waiting until we had access to our laptop.
Although nothing beats having a full size keyboard, mouse and monitor to work on your docs, Quickoffice Mobile Office Suite is just the right answer to making any minor tweaks while on a plane, bus or train. Storing them as a backup on your iPhone or iPod touch just in case the unthinkable happens is also a smart way to go. Check out our mobile music and movie download reviews as well as our other iPhone App reviews to help you get the most out of your iPhone or iPod touch.

After dropping a tough overtime decision to No. 1 USC in the morning, fifth-ranked Stanford men's water polo rebounded to defeat No. 3 California, 12-10, to take third place at the NorCal Invitational at Spieker Aquatics Complex in Berkeley.
The Cardinal begins MPSF play next Sunday at Pacific, battling the Tigers for the second time in eight days with a 12 p.m. matchup in Stockton. Stanford defeated Pacific 9-8 in overtime in Saturday's second round at the NorCal Invitational.
Stanford (7-1) started the day coming within a goal of dealing a loss to USC in the morning semifinal, falling 8-7 in overtime.
Alex Bowen led the Cardinal with 10 goals Sunday, highlighted by a six-goal effort in the afternoon victory over California. Bret Bonanni scored six times while Griffin Bolan, BJ Churnside, Paul Rudolph and Forrest Watkins each had a goal on the day.
Drew Holland played both contests in the cage, making a total of 19 saves, including 14 against USC.
In the opener against the Trojans, Stanford struck first as Bowen's backhander found the cage at the 6:15 mark. USC would equalize behind Rex Butler at 4:58 but Bonanni would give the Cardinal a 2-1 first-period lead by scoring 16 seconds before the horn.
The second period would see just a Mace Rapsey goal that pulled the Trojans even by halftime, but in the opening minutes of the third frame USC would jump to a 4-2 lead behind goals from Connor Virjee and Kostas Genidounias with 5:34 on the clock. Stanford would answer, however, as Rudolph and Bonanni scored at the 2:23 and 1:31 marks, respectively, to even things up at 4-4.
Watkins found the cage 42 seconds into the fourth period, and the Cardinal would extend the lead to two at 6-4 when Bowen scored his second of the game. The Trojans would cut the deficit to one at 1:40 when Genidounias scored again, and Zach Lucas would knot things up at 6-6 with a 6-on-5 goal with 55 seconds left in regulation.
Neither team could break the tie before the horn, and in the first overtime session Genidounias put the Trojans ahead to stay with 55 seconds to go. Virjee added his second with 1:31 remaining in the second session, and the Cardinal could only answer with one more goal, this one from Bowen with 25 seconds remaining.
Stanford shook off the sting of the loss with a four-goal first period against California in the afternoon. Bowen scored twice within the opening 2:01 to make it 2-0 Cardinal, and Churnside answered a Golden Bears goal with his first of the day at the 4:20 mark. Although Aleksa Saponjic and Luka Ivanovic would bring the Golden Bears even with back-to-back goals, the Cardinal would draw a 6-on-5 13 seconds before the end of the frame and Bonanni would convert on the man advantage to make it 4-3 after eight minutes.
The teams traded goals in the second period, Bowen answering an Ivanovic strike then Bolan countering a goal from Farrel South minutes before the break to make it 6-5 Cardinal.
Two goals from Bowen would sandwich one from South to extend Stanford's lead to 8-6 just over two minutes into the third frame, but the momentum would shift to California minutes later. Collin Smith got the Golden Bears within one at 8-7 with 2:50 to go in the period, and 45 seconds later Saponjic would even it up at 8-8. Giacomo Cupido would then put the Golden Bears ahead for the first time with a goal at the 1:32 mark, capping a 3-0 California run that spanned just 1:18.
The Cardinal defense calmed down and stifled the Golden Bears the rest of the frame, and with 5:13 to go in the game Bonanni fired home for the tying goal. One minute later Colin Mulcahy put California back up a goal, but from the momentum turned firmly back to the Cardinal's side. Bowen tied things up at 10-10 with 3:47 to play, and Bonanni gave the Cardinal an 11-10 lead just 53 seconds later. Bonanni would then add an insurance goal with 1:34 to go, and Holland and the defense would preserve the win.
Stanford – 2 0 2 2 0-1 = 7
Stanford Goal Scorers: Bowen 3, Bonanni 2, Rudolph, Watkins
USC Goal Scorers: Genidounias 3, Virjee 2, Butler, Lucas, Rapsey,
Goalie Saves: Holland 14 (S); Clark 10 (USC)
Stanford – 4 2 2 4 = 12
California – 3 2 4 1 = 10
Stanford Goal Scorers: Bowen 6, Bonanni 4, Bolan, Churnside
California Goal Scorers: Ivanovic 2, Mulcahy 2, Saponjic 2, Cupido, Russell, Smith, South
Goalie Saves: Holland 5 (S); Sibley 4 (C)

Joth'loel heard the comm and responded, "Boy are we glad to see you guys, we're comming out."
Almost imediately the engines of the freight elevator came to life. Joth'loel and his men soon came to the surface and greeted their fellow Mandalorians.
"I'm Protector Joth'loel Tarsceir, thanks for coming to our aid." Joth'loel extended a hand to shake hands with his rescuers.
Explosions started sounding all around them as the bombardment began. The base shook with tremmors and alarms flared their flashing red glow down the hallways and corridors. A Vuanna running by saw the Mandalorians by the Bunker and started yelling, soon a squad of Vuanna were on rendez vous with Valis and his group.
Lyria sat strapped into her seat in the back of the APC, the ride was long and bumpy. She had to grip her rifle firmly to keep it from flying out of her hands, as did everyone else around her. More than once a rifle was lobbed across the small confines of the vehicle and it clattered and banged against the metal floor until it reached someone who could scoop it up and pass it back.
"We're almost in range for our tanks to begin attacking the base," The driver hollared back to his passengers. "When we reach that point we'll wait a good half hour until the walls are destroyed enough for us to just plow right through."
Lyria gave the pilot a thumbs up acknowledgement and he turned back around to concentrate once more on driving while Lyria went back to concentrate on keeping her rifle in her own hands.
Not much longer before these greens would become real soldiers...

This is the first of many monthly updates to a bold experiment – making Google's Chromebook Pixel my one and only daily computer. In the introductory article to this series, I told you that I would attempt to live exclusively within Google's Chrome OS for work and for play. If the machine could live up to its marketing, I've promised to switch for good.
Hit: Exact chrome browser experience means no learning curve
Miss: Exact chrome browser experience is stale, no premium difference with the Pixel
One month in and how is the Chromebook holding up as my daily device? The answer is unsurprisingly, a mixed bag. The Chromebook Pixel is still one of the most meticulously well designed devices that I've had the pleasure to work with. The screen is always stunning and actually ruins other screens for me. It's lightweight enough that I find myself moving around a lot more freely while working than with past devices. As optimistic as I've been, that's all the good to report at this time.
It's difficult to describe the experience of the Chromebook Pixel. I feel a little guilty in saying this, but I think the next statement is representative of what an average user will feel.
You know this is just the chrome browser as an OS but you still end up disappointed that it's just the Chrome browser as an OS.
The hardware feels so premium in so many ways and you just can't believe that the software wouldn't live up to that. It goes against the open philosophy of Google, but if you're going to sell a $1500 laptop, there needs to be some type of differentiation. You just can't sell half of a premium experience; the deficiencies are only amplified by the strengths.
At this early point in my evaluation, I feel that the experience between the entry level Chromebook machines and the Pixel can be explained as two different cars - A sensible $12,000 sedan from Hyundai, and a brand new $80,000 Porsche (with a Hyundai engine inside). One is amazing to look at; every corner of the car is exquisitely finished. Unfortunately, you can't take it over 70 miles an hour without the wheels falling off. The Hyundai on the other hand isn't as fancy. It's mostly plastic, but it cost you nothing relative to the Porsche, and it's just as useful.
Next month we'll get into more specifics about things like file storage on Chromebook vs. a traditional OS.
Thank you again to Google for supplying their product for review.
Chromebook Pixel LTE by Google
Alternatives: Chromebook Pixel Wifi, Acer C720, Samsung Chromebook, and the HP Chromebook 11
Is it worth buying: I only suggest that the thoroughly educated purchase this or any Chromebook. Do NOT buy this as a gift unless the recipient knows that they are an early adopter and will need to be patient as they navigate the inevitable learning curve of a new OS.

About Polkey: Just a sophomore, she is already one of the most-decorated players in Arizona women's basketball history... Coach Bonvicini says: "What Polkey has the ability to do is to elevate the play around her - she makes her teammates better. She is completely unselfish and understands what it takes from a team perspective. She's a great passer, but we're asking Polkey to finish it inside more often. From a defensive standpoint, she creates havoc inside because she alters so many shots. She is so talented athletically that she's able to block a shot, get the rebound, make the outlet pass, fill the lane and score it on the other end"...

Justin Bieber, issues apology for racist joke he told when he was 15-year-old. According to Newsday, Justin released a statement on Sunday to The Associated Press to say that he didn't know that certain words could hurt.
He said, "I thought it was ok to repeat hurtful words and jokes, but I didn't realize at the time that it wasn't funny and that in fact my actions were continuing the ignorance," the statement said. "Thanks to friends and family I learned from my mistakes and grew up and apologized for those wrongs. Now that these mistakes from the past have become public I need to apologize again to all of those who I have offended."
Justin made the N-word remark during the filming of his 2011 concert documentary "Never Say Never." He asked, "Why are black people afraid of chain saws?" When one of his friends warned him not to proceed with the joke, he didn't listen. He told the punch line, "Run N****r" five times. Then he laughed.
Justin seems to attract trouble. He went way above the legal speed limit when he raced through his neighborhood streets in Calabasas, Calif. doing 100 mph. He often threw wild parties at his mansion. He egged several of his neighbor's homes. Justin was also in trouble for other things like underage drinking, allegedly smoking or connected with marijuana and drug paraphernalia, disrespecting historical figures, showing up late for his own concerts, spitting off balconies and urinating in inappropriate places.
Justin was getting so bad that enough American people signed a petition to have Justin deported. However, he still remains in the country. Paula Deen had legal troubles when she allegedly said the N-word many years ago, after an African American man pointed a gun in her face. Is Justin Bieber's remark any less offensive as the one Paula Deen made?
Do you think that his apology is sincere or just a way to appease people? Tell us your thoughts in the comments section.

text: German attacks on the right of 85th Brigade were initially repulsed north of the railway line but the enemy gradually exploited progress southwards and drove the 3rd Royal Fusiliers from their trenches north of Bellewaarde Lake. Survivors rallied in the third line trenches, behind what was left of Railway Wood and managed to hold on all day. South of the lake units of 2nd Cavalry Brigade, badly affected by the gas, held the line against increasing German pressure. Around 10am German infantry broke through the front of the 18th Hussars between Hooge and Bellewaarde. Crucially the 9th Lancers improvised a flank defence and kept the attackers off. (Many men of the 18th Hussars had never before seen action, being replacements for the unit's heavy casualties incurred on 13 May. Coming out of action on 24 May the 18th Hussars comprised a mere six officers and 57 men - the remainder having been killed, wounded or gone missing).

Bell's Samsung Galaxy Ace II X arrives on November 22
For some reason, Bell decided to call its version of the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 – Galaxy Ace II X. This smartphone was supposed to arrive at the carrier on November 15, but it's been hit by a slight delay.
Thankfully though, it won't be long. The black Galaxy Ace II X will be in Bell stores on November 22, and the white model will follow on November 30.
The reason for the change of the release time frame apparently has to do something with "global product delays". In Canada, Telus, Koodo, and Virgin Mobile will all launch this smartphone too. While it's impossible to be sure, their launch windows may have been impacted by the same delay too.

Feral Nights, by Cynthia Leitich Smith (Candlewick, 2013)
Check out the cover for Feral Nights (Book One in the Feral series) by Cynthia Leitich Smith (Candlewick, Feb. 2012). From the promotional copy:
Fans of the Tantalize quartet will thrill to see werepossum Clyde and other favorite secondary characters — plus all-new ones — take to the fore in book one of an all-new series.
When sexy, free-spirited werecat Yoshi tracks his sister, Ruby, to Austin, he discovers that she is not only MIA, but also the key suspect in a murder investigation.
Meanwhile, werepossum Clyde and human Aimee have set out to do a little detective work of their own, sworn to avenge the brutal killing of werearmadillo pal Travis.
When all three seekers are snared in an underground kidnapping ring, they end up on a remote island inhabited by an unusual (even by shifter standards) species. The island harbors a grim secret and were-predator and were-prey must join forces in a fight to escape alive.
Fans of best-selling author Cynthia Leitich Smith Tantalize quartet will thrill to see favorite sidekick characters--together with all-new ones--take to the fore in this wry, high-action entry in an exciting new series.
"Smith's blend of supernatural suspense, campy humor, and romantic tension is addictive; allusions to both pop culture ('Thriller,' Monty Python) and literature (The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Most Dangerous Game) add to the fun. Most satisfying of all, Aimee and especially unassuming, injured Clyde leave their sidekick roles behind to come into their own."
—The Horn Book
"Smith's fantasy smoothly switches between the three protagonists' perspectives, while expertly blending the mythical and the modern. The story's sharp banter and edgy plot make for an entertaining and clever story about loyalty and reconciling differences."
— Publishers Weekly
"sexy, fast-paced...ending that satisfies and should win her many new fans."
— Booklist
"...dialogue that sparkles with wit, filled with both literary and pop-culture references. ('You're saying that you and my sister perform exorcisms on vomiting children with rotating heads?')...playful, smart tone."
—Kirkus Reviews


text: 18 September 2002 archive See all show photos BEHNAZ SARAFPOUR needs to do little to persuade fashion watchers of her talent. The 25 intelligent wrap-and-tie designs she showed in New York yesterday, some inspired by the crisp, methodical lines of Japanese dress, spelt it out clearly. In black and white. Not that this was a cold, clinical presentation. Though starting from a base of clever cutting and clean styling, Sarafpour proved that she had done her homework when it came to injecting a sense of heritage into her collection: for spring/summer 2003, pyramids of gold hoops were breastplated to the front of plain white vest tops over canvas jeans (think Cardin), black jersey dresses were key-hole cut, gathered and tied (Alaia), and fluted-sleeved tops and sleeveless shift dresses were hand-painted with fireballs of colour, which sent explosions of purple and electric blue or solar red and yellow streaming across a jet background.

Cheyenne Police Cracking Down On Underage Drinking
Jeff Schuman reports, email@example.com
Cheyenne Mayor reads "Parents Who Host, Lose the Most: Don't be a party to teenage drinking" proclamation.
Over 56% of underage drinkers report having last drank at someone else's home.
"It's o.k. as a parent or an authoritative figure to be a friend of youth," Cheyenne mayor Rick Kaysen said. "But there's also responsibility that comes with friendship as we all know."
To address the issue, Cheyenne mayor Rick Kaysen read the "Parents Who Host, Lose the Most: Don't be a party to teenage drinking" proclamation.
"It is illegal to give or allow your child's underage friends to drink alcohol in your home, even with their parent's permission."
In addition to parents hosting parties, police were finding late teenagers playing host as well, which will now come with a much stricter penalty.
"The social hosting ordinance was 21 and older that was liable to throw a party," core preventative specialist at the Cheyenne Police Department Lisa Scholz said. "Now if you're 18, 19, 20 you are going to be just as liable under the new hosting ordinance for a penalty of up to six months in prison and/or $750 fine and a mandatory appearance in front of the judge."
Scholz says a cultural change is in dire need and she hopes the program will educate parents of the many consequences that come with underage drinking.
"There is health affects, addiction affects and of course, you know, it's against the law. Period."

Police were guarding an Ebola treatment center in Sierra Leone on Saturday, the day after thousands marched on the clinic following allegations by a former nurse the deadly virus was invented to conceal "cannibalistic rituals" there, a regional police chief said.
Across Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, at least 660 people have died from the illness, according to the World Health Organisation, placing great strain on the health systems of some of Africa's poorest countries.
The virus is still spreading. A Liberian man who died in Nigeria's commercial capital, Lagos, tested positive for the virus on Friday, Nigeria's health minister said.
Sierra Leone now has the highest number of cases, at 454, surpassing neighboring Guinea where the outbreak originated in February.
Angry crowds gathered on Friday outside the country's main Ebola hospital in Kenema in the West African country's remote east where dozens are receiving treatment for the virus, and threatened to burn it down and remove the patients.
Residents said police fired tear gas to disperse the crowds and that a 9-year-old boy was shot in the leg by a police bullet.
Assistant Inspector General Alfred Karrow-Kamara said on Saturday the protest was sparked by a former nurse who had told a crowd at a nearby fish market that "Ebola was unreal and a gimmick aimed at carrying out cannibalistic rituals".
He said calm had been restored to Kenema on Saturday, adding that a strong armed police presence was in place around the clinic and the local police station.
Some health workers from the clinic have been reported absent from work because of "misconceptions by some members of the community," according to a local doctor.
Ebola can kill up to 90 percent of those who catch it, although the fatality rate of the current outbreak is around 60 percent. Highly contagious, especially in the late stages, its symptoms include vomiting and diarrhea as well as internal and external bleeding.
President Ernest Bai Koroma said on Saturday the government planned to "intensify activities and interventions in containing the disease and stopping it spread" with a view to ending the disease within 60 to 90 days.
The new strategy will focus on contact tracing, surveillance, communications and social mobilization, social services, logistics and supplies, according to the president's statement.
The WHO said previously that poor health infrastructure and a lack of manpower were hindering efforts to contain the outbreak in Sierra Leone. Another problem is fear and mistrust of health workers among the local population, many of whom have more faith in traditional medicine.
Sierra Leone officials appealed for help on Friday to trace the first known resident in the capital with Ebola whose family forcibly removed her from a Freetown hospital after she tested positive for the deadly disease. [ID:L6N0Q03FK]
Amadu Sisi, senior doctor at King Harman hospital, from which the patient was removed, said on Saturday she had been turned in after seeking refuge in the house of a traditional healer. She died in the ambulance on the way to another hospital, he added later.
Health workers are now setting up a new Ebola treatment center in Lakka village, about 20 km (12 miles) south of Freetown, to prepare for future cases near the capital.
At least 30 people were killed in Egypt Friday and Saturday in fighting between soldiers and supporters of ousted President Mohamed Morsi, witnesses said.
The New York Times reported at least 30 people had been killed across the country by early Saturday, though it was not possible to accurately assess the full extent of casualties.
Military helicopters were in the sky over Cairo as pro- and anti-Morsi forces fought near Tahrir Square -- street fighting that persisted for hours before soldiers in armored personnel carriers broke it up, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Gunfire erupted outside the officers' club of the Presidential Guard where Morsi is believed to be detained, the BBC reported. Troops initially fired rounds into the air but then fired at the crowd, the BBC said.
The Muslim Brotherhood called for the protest against the ouster of Morsi, Ahram Online reported.
Pro-Morsi marches took place in Alexandria, Beheira and Minyain, among other cities.
The African Union suspended Egypt's membership Friday, saying in a post on its Twitter page it was reacting to "the overthrow of the democratically elected Egyptian president," Voice of America reported.
The AU Peace and Security Council said during a meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, it would it send a delegation to Egypt "to work toward restoring constitutional order."
Navi Pillay, the United Nations' high commissioner for human rights, urged all parties in Egypt to commit to respect for human rights and the rule of law.

She said the large protests that preceded Morsi's overthrow show the desire for fundamental rights.
"I hope that the rule of law and a system of government that respects the human rights of all Egyptians -- men and women -- can be quickly re-established," she said in a statement Friday. "The country has so far failed to seize the opportunity to respond to the aspirations of all its citizens and move toward a truly tolerant and inclusive society, based on human rights norms and the rule of law. A concerted effort is needed by all parties to establish sound political and legal institutions."
Muslim Brotherhood lawyer Mustafa el-Demeiry told Ahram Online Friday the group's leader, Mohamed Badie, learned a warrant was issued for his arrest and would surrender but wasn't sure to which authority.
Egypt's army said it would permit peaceful protests and Muslim Brotherhood supporters prepared to rally for the ousted Morsi.
"Peaceful protest and freedom of expression are rights guaranteed to everyone, which Egyptians have earned as one of the most important gains of their glorious revolution," the army said.
Demeiry told Ahram Online Saad el-Katatni, chairman of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, and Mahdi Akef, the group's former leader, were being held in Tora Prison with Abdel Moneim Abdel-Maqsoud, a brotherhood lawyer arrested Friday after going to the prison to defend the two leaders.
Interim President Adly Mansour, the chief judge of Egypt's constitutional court, pledged to hold elections based on "the genuine people's will," the BBC reported.
Gehad al-Haddad, spokesman for the Muslim Brotherhood, of which Morsi is a member, said the organization would not work with the new regime.
"We are being headhunted all over the country," Haddad said. "We are holding a mass rally after Friday prayers to take all peaceful steps necessary to bring down this coup."
State prosecutors said Morsi, who was in military custody, would face an investigation starting next week into claims he had "insulted the presidency," the British newspaper The Guardian reported.
Morsi was ousted Wednesday after days of protests across the country that left at least 50 people dead. Demonstrators accused Morsi and the brotherhood of pursuing an Islamic agenda and not tackling the country's economic woes.
The army said it had to step in after Morsi "failed to meet the demands of the people."
Mohamed ElBaradei, an opposition leader who backed Morsi's removal, said the army's intervention was "a painful measure" but ultimately averted civil war.
"Mr. Morsi, unfortunately, undermined his own legitimacy," he told the BBC.
Mohamed Soudan, foreign relations secretary for the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Freedom and Justice Party, said the military's actions pushed Egypt "back to the dictatorship regime."
Islamic fringe groups threatened payback for Morsi's overthrow, CNN reported.
Police arrested four men Friday who allegedly planned a revenge attack, and confiscated arms and explosives, al-Ahram reported.
A human rights watchdog called for an official inquiry into deaths resulting from politically motivated violence in recent weeks.
"The available information indicates that both supporters and opponents of Morsi -- and possibly security forces as well -- were responsible for needless loss of life," said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East and North Africa director for Human Rights Watch.
