So, this warehouse spot on Fitzroy Street has been under keen Venuemob surveillance for a while. As internal building work progressed a few months back, we hummed and hawed over what would possibly be unveiled. Hints that it could be some sort of hospitality venture were there, but located on a street more residential meets industrial, we didn't want to get hopes up too much, lest they be dashed.
But now all anticipation has been met and more, as first-class coffee roastery and cafe, Industry Beans, has opened its Rose Street corner to the masses.
Looking a little like a wooden shipping container, the venue's projecting facade blends well with its warehouse surrounds. Once inside, the serious coffee angle of this venue becomes clear: a whole host of scientific-looking coffee paraphernalia can be found on the counter and, once seated, prepare to be presented with somewhat of a coffee bible – the Industry Beans Coffee Guide – yours to peruse before making a truly considered caffeine order.
Yes, Industry Beans is somewhat of a coffee geek's paradise; somewhere that molecular gastronomist chef, Heston Blumenthal, would be proud of. Here, coffee is taken to another textural level: coffee caviar, anyone? Yup, for $3 a pop one can sample a smidgin of one of four unusual coffee creations, including: coffee pearls, coffee jelly and coffee toffee. All made within the lab-like, upper level of Industry Beans.
If all this screams of somewhere a little OTT for your morning latte, don't be put off. Really. The vibe and staff here couldn't be friendlier, and it's really not at all pretentious: it's just that the brotherly duo behind it (Trevor and Steve Simmons of Penny Farthing — one of Northcote's finest cafes) really care for coffee and all the science and origin that goes with it.
And for those who are neither here nor there when it comes to the brown bean stuff, we can confirm that equally great things seem to be going on with the food here. Serving breakfast and lunch fare, Industry Beans is anything but ordinary: Creamed Lemon Tofu Breakfast Brulee, Beetroot Rostis or a rabbit terrine 'Brioche Bunny Burger' are just some examples of this cafe's solid and inventive offerings.
All this goodness packed within a smart, industrial-type warehouse makes Industry Beans a winner in our books. It's got us thinking it would make a pretty cool, blank-canvas of a venue space to hire out come evening, once the cafe shuts its doors…watch this space.
Address: Warehouse 3, 62 Rose Street (cnr of Rose St & Fitzroy St), Fitzroy, Melbourne 3065.
Opening Hours: M-F: 7am-4pm, Weekends: 8am-5pm.

It's not quite the basketball hoop Kendall Jenner had clipped to her nose, but the hair accessories that both Julianne Hough and Jenna Ushkowitz were seen wearing at Coachella are worth a second look. They're perfect for cruising around the music festival but they're also tame enough that you won't look like a freak who's forcing her look when you wear them on the streets back home.
Both Hough and Ushkowitz went light and breeezy in at Coachella wearing white lace tops and complimenting Floral Halos from Mia Beauty. You can find the halos for purchase at your local CVS pharmacy for $12.

I'm working on a small project that will likely run on Wordpress, I always like to run some split testing to improve conversion rates for various goals. Typically if its a small site that I either don't have a budget for or want to keep it as inexpensive as possible I use Google Website Optimizer if I do have a budget I go with Visual Website Optimizer both are great and affordable, but for fun I was checking out alternatives and found Genetify which is an open source project and has some neat features. In searching around I don't see many people talking about it and wondered if anyone here has used it. If so what do you think about it?
In the past, I've done limited A/B testing and just used a modulus operator on the page to split on a random number. Then I showed one or the other items, and tracked in the log file...
Not ideal I know.
I did see this though that may give you more info down the path you're looking for...
It mentions a comparison between google and genetify...

Baboons eat a wide variety of food, generally whatever is in abundance. Baboons have relatively long thumbs to dextrously pick and prepare food (e.g., peeling, stripping). They prefer fruit, but when this is not available, will eat less nutritious but abundant food. The Yellow baboon is particularly adapted to seeds with unusual chemistry which other creatures find less palatable. During the dry season, grass can make up 90% of their diet, tearing it up in handfuls. They may also dig up tubers and they can survive on roots and bulbs alone. Their long, dog-like jaws have large molars which efficiently grind up such tough food. They also have cheek pouches to stuff food into. This way, they can quickly gather their food, then slowly process it later in a safer and cooler place. Unfortunately, baboons also raid human crops.
Baboons are active during the day. Their limbs are well adapted to running fast on all fours in a rocking horse gallop. They walk in an awkward swaggering manner. Although baboons spend most of their time foraging on the ground, they all retire in trees or high up on steep-sided cliffs to sleep, safe from predators like the leopard. So they can also climb well. In fact, the availability of safe sleeping sites is the limiting factor to troop size. Because their food is so sparsely distributed, baboons often travel long distances, about 6-20 km a day on a home range of up to 60 sq km. Because they share their sleeping site and often their foraging home ground too, baboons are not territorial, although subgroups avoid each other as they forage.
The troop, however, breaks up into smaller foraging bands in the morning of about 30-90. But even these can be large, one band was estimated at nearly 500! Within each band are several harems of one male and several females (up to 9) and their young. Males without harems may forage alone or in bachelor bands.
Sometimes the males of two or more harems will cooperate. Such cooperating harems form a clan. Males of the same clan will help defend each other from attempts by males from other clans to steal their females. While male juveniles leave the natal band, they usually stay in the same clan. Females, however, may leave the clan.
Within the Hamadryas band, females are preoccupied with gaining the favour of the dominant male, fighting among themselves to groom him. But they ignore females from other bands. The dominant male focuses on keeping his females from straying, and sometimes fight for possession of a female. Male combat involves rapid batting with hands and open jaws, but rarely result in actual all out fighting. Males also protect their harem from danger, bringing up the rear and putting up a defence, while females run off with the young.
To start his harem, a young Hamadryas male must steal a female from another band. He starts by walking between her and her mother, and when she begins to follow him, will keep her with him by using threats.
A young female is lured away at about 2 years old and the male guards her until she reaches breeding age at 5 years.
The other baboon species have a different social structure. Groups average 30-60 but vary between 8 and 198. The groups do not split up during the day but forage or rest as a single unit, although they may spread out on a broad front. Each group has many males and females, although usually more females.
All males are dominant to females. The males in the group compete for rank. High rank is obtained through fighting or by forming alliances with other males. Females have a less obvious hierarchy, but in some (Olive baboons), offspring inherit the rank of their mothers. High ranking males have first access to females in season. Subordinate males may also achieve mating success by ingratiating themselves with females by protecting them and their young. Although males and females are promiscuous, a male and female may form a long-lasting friendship.
The dominant male decides when and where to forage. Females are in front as they move, but it is the dominant male that directs them from behind. Females with young stay closer to the dominant male, subordinate females hang out with the subordinate males. Younger males may go ahead as look outs and sound the alarm when they see a threat. The adult males will then move forward to take charge.

The Sin-Eater likes to drink coffee.
I see him occasionally;
every now and then,
between George and Pitt.
He has a decaf latte usually,
although sometimes
I spot him with a flat white
or even a mocha
during particularly tough eras.
Poor bloke I think,
but he feasts well I suppose.
In passing I always make sure to do the pleasantries,
'how's the weather been in Borneo?'
'You still with Cindy these days?'
Once I had a bit of time to kill,
and asked him where he was off to next?
'Hyde' he said,
'You're quite fond of parks aren't you?
I mean there was that other one a few centuries ago
with that poet, what's his name'
'Yeah! He wrote that, jesus, what was it?
Something about rambling in a park?'
We were silent for a way,
I mean he's a serious kind of guy.
At any rate when we got to Hyde,
I offered to buy him a coffee next time
our schedules unexpectedly meet.
Vaguely I think as I was walking away
I heard him say

Leading up to the 56th Annual Grammy Awards Sunday in Los Angeles, stars saluted Carole King, Friday night as she received the MusiCares' Person of the Year honor.
James Taylor, Pink and Steven Tyler were among the stars showing their appreciation for King.
The event, hosted by Jimmy Kimmell, reportedly raised $5.5 million for MusiCares, an organization the helps musicians in need.
MusiCares was established in 1989 by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. www.musiccares.com
Notable performances included Lady Gaga singing "You've Got A Friend" and Gloria Estefan delivering her version of "It's Too Late."

Rockstar Games confirmed Wednesday what most already suspected about "Grand Theft Auto Online" for the PS3 and Xbox 360 following the "I am not a Hipster" update." Heists will not make the planned spring 2014.
The "I'm not a Hipster" update was released Tuesday, June 17 with a collection of non-ironic clothing, jobs, weapons, cars and more. It even included new features and fixes to "GTA Online." However, it did not include Heists and the impending start of summer made clear that the previously promised spring release for the co-op multiplayer mode isn't going to happen.
"We know many fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of the Online Heists that we had planned to release for you this spring, and they are taking more time to create than originally anticipated," Rockstar wrote in an update in the comments on its website. "We are very sorry for the delay, and are working hard to bring them to you as soon as we can."
"Please know that we are focused as always on making the best possible content for you to play and we are thankful to all of you for your patience, understanding and support. Stay tuned for more information on that as well as lots of other ongoing content updates, enhancements and additions to the world of GTA Online that are on the way."
"Heists" were originally scheduled to be part of "GTA Online" when the "Grand Theft Auto V" multiplayer mode launched in October last year. That launch was a debacle though with users experiencing numerous problems from not being logged in to losing their characters or progress.
Fixing the buggy online play became priority number one for Rockstar Games and it did eventually become relatively stable, though exploits were still prevalent. Despite the lack of Heists, the good news is that "GTA Online" has continued to receive free content update and Rockstar appears dedicated to continue to deliver those. Now the question is whether Heists will make it out before or after "Grand Theft Auto V" is released to the PS4, Xbox One and PC.

Land, Law and Economic Development
Kenneth W. Dam
University of Chicago - Law School; Brookings Institution
January 2006
U Chicago Law & Economics, Olin Working Paper No. 272
Real estate is a major source of wealth in the developing world. And since in many developing countries the majority of the population lives in rural areas, land law and institutions are of special importance to economic development. The importance to rural incomes growth of legal certainty with regard to land titles and transfers is well established. It would nevertheless be a mistake to view communal land systems as necessarily standing in the way of economic development because they are usually not open access systems subject to the tragedy of the commons. Where economic changes, such as expansion of cities and exploitation of natural resources, impinge on communal land areas, attention to the administrative, financial and human capital challenges of implementing land titling systems is crucial.

4 replies to this topic
Posted 2010-05-18 17:38:46
Hi Guys,
I am working outside Thailand at the moment and need to urgently send some money back. Does anyone know the address and maybe the swift code for the Siam commercial bank on Beach road in Pattaya. It's the branch nearly opposite the information box on Beach Road. I cant find anything concrete on the Internet
Any help constructive will be appreciated.
Cheers, Rick
Posted 2010-05-18 18:57:06
GO to SCB Web site.
In contact , you have swift code and branch locator.
Edited by cnx355, 2010-05-18 18:58:43.

Hi CNX,
Thanks for the info. I got the swift etc from the web site. I am in China and my Google results came to nothing.
Cheers, Rick
Posted 2010-05-18 19:34:49
Don't use the street address for your branch. All International wires MUST go through the main office in Bangkok
Siam Commercial Bank
9 Ratchadapisek Road, Lad Yao, Chatuchak, Bangkok, 10900
Swiftcode: SICOTHBK
As long as you indicate your SCB account number it will get to your account in Pattaya, if the amount is over $20,000 US you should provide a number where you can be reached to approve the conversion date
Posted 2010-05-18 19:39:38
Thank you for the information Langsuan man. Its much less than 20K, so OK. I would like to thanks everyone for their help today.
Cheers, Rick

Computed Tomography
CT scans, also called CAT scans, have been valuable tools in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and injuries since 1974. CT stands for computed tomography. These scanners create very detailed two- and three-dimensional pictures of the organs, bones, and blood vessels inside the body. CT scanning is unique in that it can scan different types of tissues at the same time. The physician can then select the type of tissue to be viewed.
CT scanning can be done on most any part of the body, and is often used to study trauma and diagnose types of cancer. It is used to view vascular functions, diagnose heart disease or strokes, and measure bone density as a way of identifying osteoporosis. It can produce images of the head and brain to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors, blood clots, or to view nerves and blood vessels. It is often used in emergency situations because of its versatility. Almost all trauma departments have CT scanners to more quickly identify internal injuries. Because of its great detail, CT is also used extensively to image small body parts and sinuses.
Fluoroscopic CT is used in interventional procedures so the physician can see their progress as they perform needle biopsies or drainages. This type of imaging enables the physician to provide a more minimally invasive treatment.
New spiral CT scanners make the process even easier. Rather than spinning in a circle in one direction and then stopping to spin in the other direction, they move in a continuous spiral motion around the patient creating a three dimensional image. Spiral CT is quicker as well, taking only 20-30 seconds for an average region to be scanned. Since patients typically need to hold their breath in order to get clear scans for this type of imaging, the quicker the scan the better the image.
What to expect when you have a CT scan
Because the CT scan uses x-rays, it is also very important that you tell the technician or radiologist if you are pregnant or even if you think you might be pregnant. While x-rays are safe for you, they can be very harmful to the embryo.
When you arrive for the CT scan, allow plenty of time for preparation and paperwork. You may have a questionnaire to fill out about your medical history, allergies, etc. If your scan is of the abdomen or pelvis it will probably require contrast material. If so, you will need to be there at least an hour before your scheduled scan. (You may also be given contrast material to take the night before your exam.)
When it is time for the exam, you will go into the CT scan room and the RRA technician will determine the best position based on the part of your body that is being scanned. In most instances, you will be placed on the table that slides into the center of the doughnut-shaped CT scanner. Make sure you are comfortable before the scan begins because you cannot move once the scan starts. While the scans are taking place you may be asked to hold your breath to prevent the images from blurring with the movement of your chest.
The entire exam should only take 10-15 minutes. Once it is complete and the CT staff has ensured that all of the information has been collected accurately then you are free to go. There are no further restrictions.
An RRA radiologist will review the exam and results will be communicated to your physician.

TC TO AUBREY DE VERE ; 5 February 1848; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18480205-TC-ADV-01; CL 22: 239-240
Chelsea: February 5, 1848.
Dear Mr. de Vere,—You did not come to see me; but how can I severely reprimand you when you are otherwise so kind? Let me hope I shall be luckier next time you come across to us.
Many thanks for the Book;1 which indeed is a gift I was much gratified with. I have read the eloquent performance with attention: part of it Milnes had already read aloud to us at Alverstoke, multifarious running-commentary accompanying him. Indisputably enough it is eloquent; has a chivalrous noble tone in it, which anywhere, and especially as coming from Ireland, it does us good to hear. For the rest, you anticipate rightly, I find much to dissent from; but, what is better news, there is also no passage, or hardly any, in the Book in which I do not find much to agree with. Yes, beyond doubt, there is good in Ireland that we know not; if Ireland consisted all of Hill-of-Tara meetings, of O'Connell balderdash and rusty pistol shots and Machale letters,2 Ireland could not cohere at all; its pot, very languidly simmering of late, would long since have ceased to boil altogether. On the other hand, and this is my fundamental all-pervading objection, it seems to me of no use, when one has fallen into misfortune, to blame one's enemies, one's friends, one's government; or indeed any creature or entity whatever, till once one has thoroughly blamed (and amended) one's own poor self. Alas, my friend, the Government of Ireland, Saxon Government, with its bloody hoof, &c. &c., is precisely what the governments of other nations, and considerable provinces are and always were—the concentrated Practical Likeness of the Nation itself;—natural to the Nation, as its own face is, as the hair of its own head, growing up out of the whole being and structure of it, rooted in its very heart, nourished by the inmost drop of its blood. For no Nation, I do believe, will or can long wear an adscititious face (a mask), or submit to a tar wig; no, it acquires such face and hair as it can grow, and therewith walk abroad. Men, and Nations, do indeed fall among thieves, and are sadly maltreated and trampled out of shape; but a man, you will find, is generally responsible for his own face, and a Nation, I venture to assert, is always so. Let it not blame its government. The court of the Universe will hear no such plea from any Nation; let it, if insufferably ugly, say, 'I have deserved to be so.' There is no hope otherwise, I believe, for any Nation or man. These you call cruel sayings, and turn a deaf, scornful ear to them; but perhaps you will not always do so. Depend upon it, there is sincerity in these sayings too;—and much would it please me if a patriotic heart, of such insight and sense of truth as yours, offering an example to all such hearts, would look earnestly on that side of the question, and exhaust what of truth is in it. We will not despair under the given omens.
Alas, alas, what England wants and Ireland only a small degree more, is that we should know, among our multitudinous populations, the units that are men and free, and the millions that by Nature's own verdict are and remain slaves,—whom it is the cruellest injustice to call or treat by any other name, the whole universe standing ready to contradict, and nullify with costs, all treatment of that kind.
Yours very faithfully,

Nuclear-associated oscillations in calcium act as a secondary messenger in the symbiotic signaling pathway of legumes. These are decoded by a nuclear-localized calcium and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, the activation of which is sufficient to drive downstream responses. This implies that the calcium oscillations within the nucleus are the predominant signals for legume symbiosis. However, the mechanisms that allow targeted release of calcium in the nuclear region have not been defined. Here we show that symbiosis-induced calcium changes occur in both the nucleoplasm and the perinuclear cytoplasm and seem to originate from the nuclear membranes. Reaction diffusion simulations suggest that spike generation within the nucleoplasm is not possible through transmission of a calcium wave from the cytoplasm alone and that calcium is likely to be released across the inner nuclear membrane to allow nuclear calcium changes. In agreement with this, we found that the cation channel DMI1, which is essential for symbiotic calcium oscillations, is preferentially located on the inner nuclear membrane, implying an essential function for the inner nuclear membrane in symbiotic calcium signaling. Furthermore, a sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA) essential for symbiotic calcium oscillations is targeted to the inner nuclear membrane, as well as the outer nuclear membrane and endoplasmic reticulum (ER). We propose that release of calcium across the inner nuclear membrane allows targeted release of the ER calcium store, and efficient reloading of this calcium store necessitates the capture of calcium from the nucleoplasm and nuclear-associated cytoplasm.

The iPhone may not yet have a majority share in the smartphone world, but it's well on its way. And that means creating a version of your website tailored to the look and feel of the iPhone is all but mandatory for today's web apps.
It might seem like a pain to completely recreate your website just for the iPhone, but luckily doing so isn't all that tough. The secret is to use the JavaScript toolset developed by Joe Hewitt. Hewitt's script, known as iUI, takes care of all the heavy lifting for you.
So long as your site is using valid (X)HTML, it's not hard at all to sequester off a domain for your iPhone users and apply the iUI tools to generate your iPhone-friendly site. Even better, you don't need to be a JavaScript guru to get a basic site up and running.
Grab the code from the link above and let's get started.

i have a question to special cases of Sasaki-manifolds. Let $(M, g, \xi, \eta, \Phi)$ a Sasaki-manifold.
In special case maybe $M=S^{2m+1} \cong \mathbb{C}^{m+1}$. This is a Sasaki manifold. But what is $\Phi$?
Analogous: Let $M=\mathbb{R}^{2m+1}$, it is also Sasaki, but what is $\xi$ or $\Phi$?
Thanks and best regards Ronald

I'm attempting to prove that the characteristic polynomial of an involution in $\mathbb{R}^n$, i.e. a linear transformation that satisfies $f^2=I$ will always factor into linear factors.
We know that $p_{f^2}(\lambda)=(1-\lambda)^n$ where $p_f$ is the characteristic polynomial of the linear operator $f$. That's as far as I've gotten with useful thoughts (except a dozen of dead ends).
After some contemplation, I've tried googling the problem and found out all of the proofs are using the minimal polynomial, which hasn't been introduced in my course, therefore I'm guessing there is some more elementary way to prove this.
Thanks for any help!

Just 7 percent of French adults are overweight, as compared with 22 percent of Americans, and proportionally far fewer people die of heart disease in France. For more than a decade, American dieters and scientists have wondered--not with a little envy--how the French get away with eating rich sauces, buttery croissants, and creamy cheeses and still remain thinner and healthier. At first they thought the wine, or maybe the olive oil, explained the "French paradox." But psychology professor Paul Rozin says there's really no paradox at all, unless you assume that fat is the major cause of obesity and cardiovascular disease. Current research is showing fat to be less of a risk factor than previously believed. "While the French eat more fat than Americans, they probably eat slightly fewer calories," he says, "which when compounded over years, can amount to substantial differences in weight [gain]."
Together with two College students (Kimberly Kabnick, C'01, L'04, and Erin Pete, C'01) and some Parisian researchers, Rozin, the Edmund J. and Louise W. Kahn Professor for Faculty Excellence, compared the eating habits of diners in both countries.
For the study, investigators went with digital scales into restaurants and fast-food outlets on both continents and weighed each item served. "We saw what every tourist knows," Rozin points out, "but we measured it. Not only are the portions [25 percent] smaller in France, people spend more time eating." The portion appraisers also compared serving sizes in cookbooks and single-serve foods in supermarkets, and again found Americans eating more. If they like the food, people tend to eat all of what's put in front of them, Rozin explains. "Much discussion of the 'obesity epidemic' in the U.S. has focused on personal willpower, but our study shows that the environment also plays an important role."

QUICKLY USC now leads the series by a 7-0 count (4-0 in Los Angeles; the seven games is the longest current losing streak CU has against any school (next is five against Missouri and Texas) ... CU has lost nine in row against ranked teams (last win: 34-30 over Kansas in 2009) and have lost 19 straight road games against ranked opponents (last win coming in the Los Angeles area, a 31-17 over UCLA at the Rose Bowl in 2002) ... Colorado's modest two Pac-12 road game winning streak came to an end (had won the finale at Utah last year and the opener this year at Washington State) ... The 83,274 in attendance was the 16th largest a Colorado team has played before (largest in the Mountain or Pacific time zones) ... The last time CU allowed 50 or more points in back-toback games was in 1962 (Nov. 3-10: 62-0 loss to Oklahoma in Boulder and a 57-0 loss at Missouri) ... USC was only the third team to score on its first possession against Colorado this year (Fresno State and Washington State also scored touchdowns); USC also was just the second to score on the second half opening possession (CSU was the other in the season opener). First down was again an issue for the Buff defense: USC ran 16 first down plays in the first half for 203 yards (12.7 per) ... QB Matt Barkley became the first quarterback to have two games with five or more touchdown passes against Colorado (he also had 6 in the 2012 game) ... USC's 7 passing touchdowns were the most ever against Colorado (it had set the record of six in last year's game) ... USC turned CU's six turnovers into 29 points ... The USC defense held CU to 108 yards on 45 plays in plus territory, and really buckled down in the red zone: in five trips inside-the-20, the Buffs came away with two field goals and ran 14 plays for minus-14 yards ... CU last ran 85 plays in 2010 (85 vs. Texas Tech). CU's first field goal drive today marked highs in both plays (15) and time (6:52) for any scoring drive, TD or FG, in 2012... CU played 58 of 67 healthy players on the trip ... Opponents are 10- of-12 in FGs (102 of 131 since 2006, including 70-of-81 inside 40 yards (USC's came from 37 yards) ... All seven CU games this fall have taken at least 3 hours and 11 minutes; tonight's was 3:14. LAST
RECEPTION BY A QB / COMPLETION BY A WR WR Nelson Spruce and QB Jordan Webb connected on a 15-yard pass play (the first career pass and catch for both, respectively—Webb did not have a reception at Kansas); the last reception by a CU quarterback was last year against Arizona, a 14-yard TD pass from TB Rodney Stewart to QB Tyler Hansen. The last completed pass by a Colorado receiver came in 2002, when WR Barry Kunkel threw a 29-yard pass to QB Robert Hodge.
- DE Will Pericak started his 44th straight game today (every game of his career, dating back to his first in the '09 opener). He is now one shy of the most starts by a defensive player in CU history—45 by ILB Jordon Dizon, 2004-07; the most starts overall is 47 (OL Ryan Miller, 2007-11).
- P Zach Grossnickle kicked off for the first time in his career in the game; he had two free kicks back in 2010 (punted those).
- PK Will Oliver (2-2 FG: 37, 27) made and tried two field goals in the same game for the first time this season; he is now 4-of-5 this year and is now 15-of-21 (71.4%) for his career.
- TB Tony Jones (10-36 rush/4-57 receiving) had the longest reception of his career – 45 yards – he doubled his receiving yards on the year as he came in with 55 on 14 receptions.
- FS Ray Polk saw action for the first time since the CSU game (opener), recording six tackles; he missed the five games in-between with a high ankle sprain.
CU'S CLOUGH NAMED TO PREMIER NCAA COMMITTEE On Friday, Colorado's Faculty Athletic Representative (FAR) to the Pac-12 Conference, Dr. David Clough, was selected to serve as a member of the NCAA Division I Committee on Academic Performance. He is replacing Rhode Island's Barbara Luebke, who recently retired; Clough is filling the vacancy and his appointment is effective immediately, through Sept. 1, 2014, at which time he will be eligible for reappointment. A professor of chemical and biological engineering, Clough is in his eighth year serving in the FAR role, named to the position in March 2005 when CU was in the Big 12.
SPECIAL GUEST / EARTH WIND & FIRE'S PHILIP BAILEY The cofounder and lead singer for the world famous musical group Earth, Wind & Fire, Philip Bailey, was CU's guest on its bench today. The connection? EWF is Jon Embree's favorite musical group, and Bailey graduated from Denver East High School and attended CU where he was a member of the marching band (drummer) in 1970-71. The two spoke last month (arranged by AEG Rocky Mountain's Chuck Morris) and Embree invited Bailey, a southern California resident, to the game.
COLORADO INJURIES Today's injury report: DT Josh Tupou (sprained ankle, same one he sprained against UCLA); he is day-to-day, as is OL Jack Harris, who was scratched from the trip Thursday due to concussion symptoms

The L.A. Comedy Shorts Film Festival arguably boasts a very passionate group of co-founders and producers with Gary Anthony Williams, Jeannie Roshar, Ryan Higman and Kelly Frazier at its helm. Along with a fun-filled weekend featuring film screenings and fabulous parties, the festival offers invaluable industry panels to aspiring filmmakers and participants in which producers, digital media gurus, actors and writers offer sage advice and graciously participate in an audience Q & A.
The 2014 LACS celebrity panel featured some incredibly talented actors and actresses including Chris Kattan ("Saturday Night Live"), Jon Huertas ("Castle"), Michaela Watkins ("Trophy Wife," "Benched"), Melissa Peterman ("Fargo", "Baby Daddy"), Yvette Nicole Brown ("Community") and Tara Strong ("Family Guy," "Rugrats"). L.A. Comedy Shorts Festival Co-founder and Artistic Director Gary Anthony Williams ("Boston Legal") moderated the funny, informative and engaging discussion which covered a wide range of topics including how the actors got the performing bug, their comedic heroes, business advice for the aspiring filmmakers and what they like to do in their off time.
The busy, charismatic actors all cherish their down time and spend it in different ways. Melissa Peterman likes reading and sharing time with her son. Yvette Nicole Brown plays catch up on TV, Chris Kattan writes, Jon Huertas enjoys playing co-ed flag football and being physically active, Michaela Watkins likes spending quality time with her hubby and friends and Tara Strong enjoys hanging out with her 9 and 12-year-old sons.
Laughter rippled through the room throughout most of the candid discussion and it was really fun to hear Jon Huertas repeat the pronunciation of his last name (when prompted) in the smooth, sultry way that only he can. The ladies on the panel and in the audience couldn't help but swoon.
I recently caught up with Yvette Nicole Brown and Melissa Peterman outside the festival's main venue at the Downtown Independent Theatre L.A. and in the attached video, they graciously shared their love for Gary Anthony Williams, with Yvette dubbing him a "ball of love" and Melissa calling him "America's treasure."
We also took a moment to discuss their mentors coming up in the field and they graciously offered their advice to aspiring artists in the following Examiner exclusive Q & A.
E: How did you become involved with LACS?
YNB: We've both worked with Gary and every year he calls and asks to take part in some way and we always say yes. Gary's one of those people, you don't tell him no and it's not out of fear or intimidation, it's just because he's such a ball of love that whatever he's doing, you wanna support it.
MP: I would do anything Gary asked me to do. And thing about it is he inspires me because he's constantly working but so generous about it. Any project, anything he's writing, he's always thinking of his friends. That's why he can get people and you saw the panel and you saw who's participated the last three days because Gary Anthony Williams, he's America's treasure.
E: You're answering questions for the aspiring actors and filmmakers. Who did you look to as a role model or mentor?
MP: I would have to say that I was very blessed and lucky that my first series regular, that the person that was the leader of that show was Reba McEntire. There was no better person that I watched on a set for six years that led a set with grace, humor and respect. I was raised that way and just to be in the business and watch somebody who got it, who realize that every day you get to do what you love is a wonderful blessing so, there's no drama. There's none of that. And, I remember thinking if I ever got to a place where I was kind of looked on as a leader on a set, I would want to lead it exactly the way she did. For me, my first job in Hollywood, to watch that lady was amazing.
YNB: I had a really great college professor. She didn't really guide me into being an actor, but she guided me in the fact that I need to live a bold life. I was in Ohio and wanted to move to L.A. and my way to L.A. had kind of fallen apart and she bought my plane ticket to California because she said she believed in me and she wanted me to pursue everything that I wanted to do. I really felt like, if she believes in me, because she had no reason to do that for me, I should go boldly in the direction of my dreams and fight to the end and that's what I've been doing. I'm still friends with her now. She's one of my great friends, my favorite professor when I was in college."
E: What advice would you give aspiring artists in dealing with rejection?
YNB: I have this thing where it's a game that I play, where it's 100 nos to get one yes. So, in that way when you're rejected you're like, yay, 57, 79! You know, because you know you're almost there. Usually, the blessing comes way before 100, but it's just a little game that I play with myself and this is a game about out-lasting. You've just gotta hang in long enough until it's your turn and I think a lot of people give up right before it's their turn. It might not be the turn that you expect. It might not be the turn that you thought you have, but it is a valid turn and it's made perfect for you. You've just gotta wait for that chance, that turn.
MP: I think you do have to have a pretty thick skin and part of having a thick skin is "a," you have a champion in your life who always believes in you and you do believe in yourself. For me, when I come out of an audition whether I get it or not and I learned early on, I was prepared, I did it, I walked away and felt good about it. If I slacked off or wasn't prepared then I'll beat myself up. But, I like me a lot. I like myself and I'm not right for every part. That's part of it too, knowing you're not right for every part. You may have been the funniest one, but you were not the right fit for this project. And I also think that sometimes you have to remember you walk away and you may not get that job, but what you did that day is you planted the seed, that maybe in front of three people that go, oh this is not right but I'm gonna find something for that girl or that guy."
E: Favorite TV show that you have not been on?
MP: "Modern Family."
YNB: I'll never be able to be on "The Cosby Show."

Sharon Stone said her anti-aging beauty secrets include yoga workouts and a low-carb diet modeled after the popular low glycemic-index diet.
Stone, who exercises regularly, told E! Jane Fonda is her workout inspiration. Whenever she doesn't feel like working out, Sharon said she remembers a quote Fonda cited in an interview 25 years ago: "If you're disciplined, you are free."
Fonda, who looks incredible at 77, has previously called exercise the fountain of youth. In addition to helping her look great (and years younger), Jane said daily workouts helped her overcome depression, bulimia, anorexia, three divorces, and breast cancer.
Low-Carb, Low-Glycemic Diet
Stone said she usually does underwater weight workouts at the pool. The blonde beauty also strength-trains, stretches, dances and does yoga. "I do what it takes," said Stone. "I go to the gym and I eat healthy."
Sharon maintains her sleek physique by following the low-carb GI Diet, which focuses on eating non-starchy foods with a low glycemic index. Sharon's low-carb diet features plenty of red meat and vegetables, and very little sugar or simple carbs, Celebrity Health & Fitness reported. Stone has followed the GI Diet for more than 10 years, and credits it for helping her recover from a brain aneurysm in 2001.
Sharon admits she hasn't worked out much this summer and is worried she'll be fat-shamed by tabloids over the cellulite on her butt. "I haven't worked out in a couple of months because I just didn't feel like it," she said.
"But now I'm going on vacation and I know what they're going to do. [The tabloids] are going to put a circle around my *ss and do one of those crazy magnified pictures saying, 'What happened to her *ss? It's a bag of cheese.' I would just like to say it's a fine triple-crème brie!"
Denies Plastic Surgery: Wants to Age Gracefully
Whether she has cellulite or not, there's no denying Stone looks unbelievable. While she has always exuded a cool self-confidence, Sharon admits dealing with aging has been really rough.
"There was a point in my 40s when I went into the bathroom with a bottle of wine, locked the door, and said, 'I'm not coming out until I can totally accept the way that I look right now,' " Sharon told Shape.
Stone gradually resolved to age gracefully rather than fight the process, and feels more at peace with herself. Stone, who said she has never had plastic surgery, said she hopes society will begin to expand its definition of beauty to include older women.
"This idea that being youthful is the only thing that's beautiful or attractive simply isn't true," she said. "I don't want to be an 'ageless beauty.' I want to be a woman who is the best I can be at my age."

College Hockey:Stunner: Mavericks Rally For Wild Victory Vs. Pioneers
Minnesota State Erases 7-1 Deficit With Seven Unanswered Goals
MANKATO, Minn. — Giving away a 7-1 lead was a gift not even Santa Claus could match.
Yet Denver (11-6-3, 5-6-3 WCHA) did just that as Minnesota State won 8-7 despite a six-goal deficit and a third-string goalie in net.
MSU (4-9-3, 3-7-2 WCHA) allowed six goals in the first and was trailing by six halfway through the second, but Shane Joseph and Chris Clark led the charge as the Mavericks made possibly the biggest comeback in the team's history.
Joseph notched a hat trick, including the game winner, and added an assist, and freshman goalie Chris Clark stopped all 13 shots he faced in his college debut.
"I know it has to be close to one of the biggest comebacks we've ever had," MSU coach Troy Jutting said. "And one thing about it, it was against a very good hockey team. It wasn't against just any team. It was against the fifth-ranked team in the country."
"We came in after the first and everyone was down," Joseph, MSU's captain, said. "What can you say to the guys? I just told them all, 'Boys, let's forget about it. Scoring goals is fun. Now all we have to do is go out and score.'"
Down 7-1, the Mavericks got a goal by freshman Lucas Fransen that, at the time, seemed like just a blemish against a Pioneer team headed to its sixth league win of the season.
But after DU's Matt Laatsch was given a game misconduct and a major penalty for checking from behind, the Mavericks got new life.
Travis Morin scored one goal and Joseph tallied his first two goals in a span of 39 seconds to make the score 7-5 heading into the third period.
"It was a feeling there somewhere fairly early in the second period where I just felt that if we didn't come all the way back, we were gonna play hard and play well the rest of the game," Jutting said.
The three power-play goals came after MSU had tallied only once with the man advantage in its previous 57 attempts.
"We haven't scored in eons, and I think we got three in under a minute," Jutting said. "The good Lord was looking down on us."
DU assistant coach Seth Appert said the call was "questionable," but Joseph said it was the turning point in the game.
In the third, Joseph started another goal as the Mavericks climbed to within one. On the penalty kill, the senior intercepted a Pioneer pass in MSU's zone and led a two-on-two with Fransen. Joseph handed the puck to Fransen, who found Adam Gerlach trailing on the play. Gerlach put the puck past DU goalie Adam Berkhoel at 8:25 of the third.
Brad Thompson scored the game-tying goal at 14:49 as he wristed the puck past Berkhoel from the slot.
Then, with 4:09 left in the game, Joseph and David Backes went down the ice on a two-on-two rush. With Backes screening Berkhoel, Joseph sent a shot that beat the Denver goalie for his third goal of the game and eighth of the year.
"I cut to the middle, and the D man slipped a bit," Joseph said. "I saw the lane and just fired, and it went in."
"He played like an all-American," Jutting said of Joseph.
Clark, who replaced starter Jon Volp and backup Kyle Nixon after they allowed four and three goals respectively, held the Pioneers from scoring late, and the Mavericks picked up the 8-7 league win.
Denver took advantage of three power-play goals in the first to go up 6-1 after 20 minutes of play. Sophomore Gabe Gauthier paced the Pioneers with two goals and two assists in the first stanza.
"We played very well in the first half of the game and took a commanding lead, which should be good enough to win," Appert said.
Volp was removed after allowing four goals on eight shots. Nixon took over at the end of the first and was replaced by Clark in the second after giving up three goals on seven shots.
After Clark, a native of San Mateo, Calif., made his first collegiate save, the 3,650 fans gave a sarcastic cheer to the goalie they would soon be praising.
Clark made five saves in the second and got a break when Jeff Drummond was denied his third goal of the game by the crossbar. From there on, Clark settled down and looked right at home in net for the Mavericks as Joseph led the unbelievable comeback.
"Definitely a dream come true," Clark said. "I didn't even think I was going to play. It's not the way I dreamed about it, but I'll take it."
"With Chris, I think it's a case where his attitude has stayed awesome. Sometimes when you haven't played and it really doesn't look like you're going to play, it's easy to get down, and it's easy to not be ready when you get a chance. The kids love him because of his attitude, and he works hard every day," Jutting said.
"It was a wild game, and obviously it was a tough one to swallow," Appert said. "We showed some of our inexperience and lack of confidence in ourselves when we struggled down the stretch."
Appert noted the fact that two regular Pioneer defensemen were injured the night before. After Laatsch was kicked out of the game, the team was left with just two defensemen.
"But that's not why we lost," Appert said. "Give credit to Mankato. They came out and played very hard and competed and didn't give up."
"I think it shows a lot of heart on our team," Clark said. "Everybody takes us as a team that they're going to beat every night, and we're not like that. We know we can win every night. Hopefully if we show up we can get the points, and luckily tonight we did."
Denver returns home to play in the Denver Cup next weekend. The Mavericks will take to the road to play in the Sheraton/Bank North Classic in Vermont.

11 Jun 2012 - 12 Jun 2012The second edition of TEDxRio, from June 11th to 12th at the Forte de Copacabana will unite thinkers of diverse knowledge areas to understand and analyze HUMAN POWER, a force with great capacity to destruct, maintain and above all, to construct a new planet and a new way of life.
Forte de Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Forte de Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
More than the spreading of ideas and discussing of solutions such as conscience consumption, green economy and reduction of poverty, the goal here is to promote a differentiated reflection about sustainable development through an innovative manifestation of non-formal education.
TEDxRio+20 opens new windows of knowledge, challenging the ?one way of thinking? syndrome, by sharing visions and discussions that are complementary to the Rio+20 Sustainable Development Conference, serving as a platform for connection and, maybe, the start of a movement for social transformation. Does anyone doubt the power that this can have?

Sony Ericsson extends deal with Wayfinder, new GPS-enabled phones on the way
Sony Ericsson has packed GPS into it handsets only starting this year. But the company, through the voice of Rikko Sakaguchi, its Corporate Vice President and Head of Creation and Development, said that GPS-enabled phones have an ongoing increased importance in its portfolio of products.
That's why, today, Sony Ericsson and Wayfinder announced they have extended their partnership and will bring "a richer, longer term navigation offering" to current and future SE handsets. Which means that, alongside Xperia X1, C905, G705 and the few other Sony Ericsson GPS-enabled handsets, there will be new ones to pack complete navigation solutions.
Sony Ericsson and Wayfinder have already pre-loaded the Wayfinder Navigator, as a three-month trial, on several phones, including the W760 Walkman slider, the C702 and the already mentioned C905.
Wayfinder Navigator is an affordable mobile navigation solution that lets users download Tele Atlas maps for over 70 countries from around the world. Apparently, Wayfinder Navigator allows you to elude hefty data roaming costs, so it seems to be a good-to-have application.
Well, I'm curious now about the upcoming GPS-ready Sony Ericsson phones, and you probably are too. But I guess we have to wait until the company goes official with them. Or at least one of them.

"...the earth was formless and void, darkness was over the surface of the deep..." - Genesis 1:2
the dance of the spheres disturbs my song
and the rhythm of the waves beats with the drums
in my wakefullness I see the myth come to life
and from the vantage of my spire I come
with horns I went to the edge of the world
and with wings I shall return
for in the shadow and smoke I was veiled
and of the blinding light I am born again
deep within the gathering of the seas
the snake watches with lidless eyes
the Titan waits for the woman
the woman waits for the beast
During that hour I saw the lifting of a sleep
For I saw Nehushtan rise from his keep
and though darkness still lay upon the deep
I heard the voices of men give up and weep

Admittance controls and biometric assistance clocks
Currently, security in companies and industries is fundamental, which is why admittance controls to the different points of these is turning day by day in a more serious necessity. For this reason, MDM offers you the IDTECK brand, which has a complete and technological array of admittance controls which can be adapted to both the simplest and most complex needs.
•Workplace attendance control and schedule control: the management of personnel attendance is controlled by PC, by fingerprint identification.
•Admittance control to different areas, which allows for the restriction of admittance, as you see fit.
•Presence control: Work presence control, schedule control, timetable control.
•ID and Security Cards: used for the identification of the user, and allowing customization with the data and picture of the user. This cards are also used for admittance, schedule and attendance control.
IDTECK is the leading brand in security products in the field of admittance control for buildings, homes and industries. It constantly develops advanced technology for RFID and biometric equipment, control panels and smart cards.
RFID systems are based in the identification of radiofrequencies, a communication technology via radio which is an automatic solution to data collection. RFIDs consist of a tag and a radio frequency reader.
Biometrics readers such as fingerprint recognition have admittance control functions as independent biometrics regulators or biometrics readers. They decide if the entry data are authorized or not by comparing them with the biometrics data stored in the device. Fingerprint recognition is the technology that verifies the identity of a person based in the fact that every single person has a unique fingerprint. This is one of the most used biometrics and it is continuously studied.

St. Patrick's Day is upon us. That means it's time to deck yourself in green, grab a frosty Guinness, and check out some of these Irish-themed movie selections. Ranging from historical to outright fun, these movies are guaranteed to get you in an Irish frame of mind. If anything, it'll be great background noise while you struggle to perfect your grandmothers Irish Potato Candy recipe (the secret is extra coconut).
The Wind That Shakes The Barley- In this sympathetic look at the Irish War of Independence in the early 20th century, "The Wind That Shakes The Barley" is about two brothers brothers once united against the British who are torn apart when ideological differences within their rebellion arise. The 2006 film is the highest grossing from director Ken Loach, who never succumbed to the temptations of Hollywood and instead continues to make independent films. The title of the film is taken from the Robert Dwyer Joyce song of the same name.
Gangs of New York- While this 2002 Martin Scorsese film has been criticized for its lack of historical accuracy, "Gangs of New York" depicts the harsh and dirty streets of the Five Points area in New York and the violence that ensued between Irish immigrants and U.S. born nativist gangs. Both Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz do convincing Irish accents and Daniel-Day Lewis is brilliant in his portrayal of nativist crime boss Bill "the Butcher" Cutting. One highpoint of the film is the stunning sets that were created for production. In an era of CGI effects, it's refreshing to see such extensive work go into set construction.
Darby O'Gill and the Little People- Looking for a family friendly movie? This classic from Disney is filled with Irish luck, magic, and wonder. Originally released in 1959, "Darby O'Gill and the Little People" is the tale of an Irishman and his battle with mischievous leprechauns. One of the highlights of the film is seeing a youthful Sean Connery before he ever uttered the words "The name is Bond. James Bond".

Anti-Allergy Eating
Love is in the air — along with allergens like pollen and dust mites that can make allergy sufferers feel like crawling back inside to hibernate. May marks National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month — and while the typical approach to allergies includes medication and environmental modification, what you eat can also greatly impact how you feel this season.
Gut check: eat high-fiber foods and yogurt
University of Michigan Medical School researchers have found that maintaining a healthy balance of gut microflora in the gastrointestinal tract may help you avoid allergies or asthma. Make sure to include plenty of high-fiber foods such as berries, oranges, green peas, apples, whole grains, nuts and seeds in your diet to maintain the proper gastrointestinal equilibrium.
Yogurt is another allergy-fighting food. A study of 120 adults conducted by researchers from the University of California, Davis found that eating just six ounces of yogurt a day (a typical serving is eight ounces) considerably reduced the number of days the participants had hay fever attacks, especially from grass pollens. Study participants also had fewer symptoms of hay fever and allergies.
Try an an-tea-histamine
According to Japanese researchers, the green tea compound methylated epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), may be anti-allergenic. "Green tea appears to be a promising source for effective anti-allergenic agents," said Hirofumi Tachibana, the study's chief investigator and an associate professor of chemistry at Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan. "If you have allergies, you should consider drinking it."
Go fish
Omega-3 fatty acids from fish, such as salmon, may protect against the overproduction of certain antibodies that can trigger allergies. Omega-3's also have anti-inflammatory properties that may reduce the severity of allergy symptoms. Other potential benefits to omega-3 intake: may help alleviate arthritis, depression and promote heart, brain and skin health. In addition to fish, walnuts and flaxseed are good sources of omega-3.
Bottom line: This allergy season, include healthy foods in your defense against discomfiting symptoms by adding high fiber fruits and veggies, yogurt and fish to your diet.

Dijony Alexandre and Misato Alexandre are the founders of the new fitness app Fitwirr. Exercise is difficult enough without it being complicated with complex instructions. Fitwirr is a new iPhone workout app that is designed to simplify abdominal and glute workouts with easy to follow visual instructions that only take 5-8 seconds to master. "Most apps require up to 2 minutes of learning time for every exercise learned. This is well outside even a focused adult's attention span and discourages people from exercising. A shorter learning curve means lower barrier to entry and equates a more productive workout," says Misato Alexandre, an iOS developer for Fitwirr.
Fitwirr's workouts are designed to be home friendly and can be performed with bodyweight only, or with accessible home equipment such as hand weights and towels. Alexandre, said "We aim to be the easiest to follow workout guide that maximizes workout time and brings results to the average woman."
For more information on Fitwirr App, please contact Misato Alexandre at firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit http://fitwirr.com/fitwirr/

More at-risk high school students in Miami-Dade County will be placed on a pathway to college thanks to a $50,000 contribution that AT&T recently awarded Miami Dade College (MDC).
The award will expand the College's successful Pre-College Advisement Program from 35 to 45 high schools—boosting MDC's outreach to 60 percent of Miami-Dade County public high schools.
Targeting seniors at underserved, largely minority schools, the program provides long-term guidance, including one-on-one counseling, career and financial aid workshops, college orientation and academic "boot camps." Students typically start the program at the beginning of their senior year and continue until they graduate and matriculate into college. MDC students also serve as mentors.
Pre-college advisement is part of MDC's newly instituted, three-tier Student Achievement Initiatives (SAI) effort to promote college readiness and retention among first-time in college students. At schools where MDC's Pre-College Advisement Program was offered, administrators documented a 24% increase in graduation rates and 34% overall increase in college enrollment, which represented 61% for black students and 31% for Hispanics.
Once enrolled at MDC, these students are assigned an advisor who guides them in choosing an appropriate program of study, map their curriculum and supports them in completing their studies and transitioning to a 4-year degree program or the workforce.
MDC's legacy of making higher education accessible to students of all socio-economic backgrounds spans 50 years. Producing the largest number of degrees to African-American and Hispanic students in the nation, the College's motto is: "Opportunity Changes Everything."
AT&T and MDC have a long standing relationship, working together on numerous initiatives, including endowments for scholarships and internships for students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) fields.
For more information and to help further MDC's educational outreach programs contact the MDC Foundation's Senior Director of Development Nairobi Abrams at 305-237-3247 or email@example.com.
This and other MDC releases are available on the web at www.mdc.edu.

College Hockey:Uncommon beginnings, uncommon success for Quinnipiac's Langlois
The senior grew up a roller hockey player in Arizona and now is the Bobcats' leading scorer.
A lot of hockey players will tell you they first put on a pair of skates when they were 3 or 4 years old. Others will say they learned the game during the winter months when ponds started to freeze and the sun set in the late afternoon.
Then there is Quinnipiac's Jeremy Langlois, he of Tempe, Ariz.
"I can always tell when someone used to play roller hockey. They protect the puck with their body so well and I think your hands are a little better, too."
– Quinnipiac's Kellen Jones, on Jeremy Langlois
"Usually when people ask where I am from they say, 'Oh, they don't play hockey there,'" Langlois said with a chuckle. "I get that response all the time, especially when I am on the East Coast. Arizona is not an area where you think it would be big in hockey because it is 130 degrees in the summer, but we do have hockey there and it is good hockey."
Hockey might not be the biggest sport in Arizona, but Langlois remembers the first moment when he and another friend weren't the only ones playing roller hockey.
"Once the Coyotes moved to Phoenix in '96 there was an ice rink built near my house so that was when I started skating," Langlois said. "I remember at that time there were probably 30 kids in my neighborhood and only about two of us played hockey. Then when the Coyotes moved, all the kids started coming out and we were teaching them the game."
Roller hockey beginnings
Langlois started his career as a roller hockey player mostly because he said he could play it year round. The simple game he played in the streets of his neighborhood led him into roller hockey travel leagues and eventually into ice hockey.
"I can always tell when someone used to play roller hockey," Quinnipiac teammate Kellen Jones said. "They protect the puck with their body so well and I think your hands are a little better, too."
"In general, roller hockey players are highly skilled," Quinnipiac coach Rand Pecknold said. "The game is four-on-four and you never dump the ball. It's a game of ball possession. What you see over and over again with roller hockey players that convert to ice hockey are the stick skills. They are very patient and they have good hands."
In addition to four-on-four, Langlois played without offsides, icing or hitting. He didn't play in an organized ice hockey league until he was 9. Even 10 years after the switch, Pecknold still noticed a few things when Langlois first started playing in college.
"He was definitely raw. I'm not even sure if in his freshman year he knew all the terminology we used," Pecknold said, laughing. "He just didn't grow up in a hockey hotbed."
The move East
Like most players from small hockey markets, Langlois knew he had to play somewhere else if he was going to have a chance to be found. After playing for the Phoenix Polar Bears in high school, Langlois was recruited by the New Jersey Hitmen of the Eastern Junior Hockey League for his senior season.
If you don't believe the hockey is good in Arizona, just look at what Langlois did in his only year in the EJHL, 2008-09. He led the league with 35 goals and 47 assists for 82 points and was named the most valuable player and offensive player of the year.
"In October or November he wasn't the best player in that league," Pecknold said. "It just took him a while, but the second half of the season he was just dominant."
Before Langlois even got to New Jersey, the Quinnipiac coaching staff knew about his potential. Quinnipiac assistant coach Billy Riga got a tip from a friend about a kid from Phoenix that could play. That friend was Hitmen head coach Toby Harris.
"I had gone and watched [Langlois] a couple of times and basically had to hunt him down," Riga said.
"I actually had to miss a couple of our games to go and meet with him and talk with him."
During his monster season, big schools like Boston University, Boston College, New Hampshire and Cornell started calling.
"We had a relationship with Langlois before anyone else knew who he was because of the coach," Riga said. "Langlois had visited us a year before he visited anyone else. We were basically the first ones to tell him how great he could be in college. Everyone knew who he was when he committed but we started the relationship before other people knew."
When the time came to make a decision, Langlois narrowed his choices to UNH, Cornell and Quinnipiac.
"I felt like Quinnipiac was an up-and-coming school where you could make a name for the program," Langlois said.
In addition to the big college schools, a few USHL teams like Omaha, a team that didn't have room for Langlois before his breakout season with New Jersey, started contacting Langlois, too.
"One thing that is interesting about Omaha is that after Jeremy committed with us, Omaha and about 10 other USHL teams called begging to have him for a year because they thought he would do another year before he came to us," Pecknold said with a smile.
Solid senior season
Fast forward to his senior season with No. 9 Quinnipiac, which is on a 10-game unbeaten streak since a 2-1 loss to American International on Nov. 6 thanks to a stifling defense and an incredible stretch by goaltender Eric Hartzell.
And also thanks to Langlois.
Seven of his 10 goals have come in the last 10 games, including two against Union, a pair against St. Lawrence and another two last Friday against Princeton. He also leads the team in plus/minus at plus-14.
"It took him a little while to become a really good defensive center, but now I think he is one of the best I've ever had," Pecknold said. "He's got a great future ahead of him and certainly the NHL scouts are drooling over him. It's nice being a free agent."
While the future might not be set just yet, Langlois is sure of one thing.
"Hockey is probably the biggest thing in my life," Langlois said, smiling. "It gets me up every day and it's a fixture of my life and it has been for 15 years."

[Announce] SECURITY - disabling SSL/TLS compression to mitigate the "CRIME" attack
A security vulnerability has been discovered in the SSL/TLS protocol, which affects connections using compression.
All versions of TLS are believed to be affected.
To address this, Qt will disable TLS compression by default.
* How does the attack work?
If the attacker can insert data into the SSL connection, then by looking at the length of the compressed data it is possible to determine if the inserted data matches secret data or not.
For example, if you are sending a https request to a server using basic authentication then your http header contains data similar to:
"Authorization: dXNlcjpwYXNzd29yZA=="
If the attacker can insert data in the body of the request, e.g.
"Authorization: d"
Then the compressed size will be smaller if they guessed the first character of the authentication token correctly.
With repeated requests it would be possible to guess the whole string in linear time.
Any data in the headers could be guessed in this way, but authorization tokens and login cookies are the most likely targets.
* What kind of applications are vulnerable?
In principle, any application that uses SSL and can run untrusted scripts or be scripted externally could be vulnerable.
* How is Qt addressing the problem?
Qt is disabling SSL compression by default.
The 4.8.4 and 5.0.0 releases of Qt will have this change.
This change is available for cherry-picking from git if you build Qt from source.
The git changes are as follows:
5.0: 5ea896fbc63593f424a7dfbb11387599c0025c74
4.8: d41dc3e101a694dec98d7bbb582d428d209e5401
4.7: 3488f1db96dbf70bb0486d3013d86252ebf433e0
For older 4.x releases, the 4.7 patch is expected to work.
* How can I protect my application without updating Qt?
For Qt 4.8.0 or later, you can set the default SSL configuration using the following code:
QSslConfiguration config = QSslConfiguration::defaultConfiguration();
config.setSslOption(QSsl::SslOptionDisableCompression, true); QSslConfiguration::setDefaultConfiguration(config);
For older Qt versions, unfortunately there is no application level workaround.
* My application isn't vulnerable, I want to use compressed requests
You can enable compression by default using the following code:
QSslConfiguration config = QSslConfiguration::defaultConfiguration();
config.setSslOption(QSsl::SslOptionDisableCompression, false); QSslConfiguration::setDefaultConfiguration(config);
* I'm using a custom QSslConfiguration
Review your code.
If you are copying the default configuration and changing some settings then you are probably protected.
If not, then you should set the option to disable compression appropriately
