I was born two weeks after Title IX passed. I joke that I'm a Title IX baby, because it always seemed as though the legislation was written especially for me and girls like me. Organized sports weren't offered at my elementary school, so the first time I picked up a basketball, I was 12 years old and in seventh grade. I also did volleyball and softball and ran track. I could hardly believe I got to go to school and play.
I did not grow up with a notion of what women were supposed to do as opposed to what men were supposed to do. My mom was a single parent who held jobs that weren't considered particularly feminine—like driving an 18-wheeler truck and working as a mail carrier—but she always wore lipstick and had her nails polished. That's why I grew up feeling I could do it all.
Becoming a co-owner of the L.A. Sparks seemed like a natural move for me. From day one as a pro basketball player, I was in on more than my share of business meetings, sitting elbow to elbow with management and bringing in corporate sponsors. Now I can do that right in my community. I'm looking forward to getting our sponsors and our old ticket holders more involved with the team again, because we lost a lot of them when I retired from playing. I'm the mother of two children, so this feels like a great fit for my career right now. I'm up to the challenge.

The Communicator: Janet Champ
In 1996, Janet Champ cocreated the famous TV commercial "If You Let Me Play," part of Nike's campaign to market to women. Still widely available on the Internet (for example, on YouTube), this touching advertisement shows young girls listing the positive effects of participating in sports. Champ is now an Oregon-based freelance writer.
Nike came to our ad agency, Wieden + Kennedy, in Oregon, and asked for a spot that spoke to the phenomenon behind Title IX and what it meant to a generation of young people. They gave us reams of information—boxes and boxes of statistics—and my art director and I waded through all of it. We came up with a lot of scripts and boards, and every week, sometimes twice a week, we showed new ideas. After one of our meetings, the Nike ad manager took me aside and said, "I don't know, this feels like it's not coming from your heart. It doesn't feel like you're really passionate about it."
We felt stymied until, all of a sudden, the "if you let me play" idea just popped up. It came out of my experience as a stepmother and an aunt. I knew that lots of young girls—like my nieces and stepdaughters—didn't have softball, volleyball or soccer programs in their schools because the money just wasn't there. Even though Title IX had passed and was a wonderful amendment, it wasn't always being implemented. Spending so much time around 10-year-old girls, I saw that many parents, especially mothers, didn't understand that their daughters really did want to play.
So we did the boards and took them in for an emergency meeting the very next day. I knew it was right because I got choked up while I was presenting our proposal, and then half the room started to cry. Everyone clapped and said, "This is it!"

How bad is the unemployment rate?
The real people hurting are those under 25 and those over 55, but even those in the middle are having a hard time. For those in the middle of the age distribution, the numbers in the middle are the worst in 23 years. From the Washington Post:
The percentage of workers between the ages of 25 and 54 who have jobs now stands at 75.7 percent, just a percentage point over what it was at the downturn's worst, according to federal statistics.
Before the recession the proportion hovered at 80 percent.
While the unemployment rate may be the most closely watched gauge of the economy in the presidential campaign, this measure of prime-age workers captures more of the ongoing turbulence in the job market. It reflects "missing workers" who have stopped looking for work and aren't included in the unemployment rate. . . .

MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) — Keith Wenning threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Willie Snead with 29 seconds remaining to lead Ball State to a 28-25 victory against Buffalo on Saturday night.
The score culminated an 18-play, 75-yard drive for the Cardinals (2-1, 1-0 MAC) after Buffalo (1-2, 0-1) took the lead.
Wenning completed 24 of 36 passes for 226 yards and two touchdowns. Jahwan Edwards ran for 112 yards and two TDs on 22 carries for Ball State.
Branden Oliver rushed 27 times for 118 yards and a touchdown for the Bulls. Buffalo trailed 21-7 but erased that deficit with the help of quarterback Chazz Anderson, who ran and passed for scores in the fourth quarter.
Anderson's 1-yard run ended a 14-play, 86-yard march that gave the Bulls a 25-21 cushion with 6:28 remaining.

The cover fits perfectly and looks awesome. I thought the fit was a bit tight at first, but after using it a few weeks, the cover fits great. The only thing I wish it had is a brushed inside so it would be softer on the paint but as it is it shouldn't be a problem and that should not keep you from buying this cover. I bought it to keep the sun off the car so it is only on in dry weather.

Lower back pain

I can give you a little bit of advice on ergonomics.
Ok, first some anatomy, I'll probably .... up on this because I don't know all the English terms.
But you have your back (the left side here is your back, the right side is your front.)
Ok, so you're sitting, lifting or whatever, all the force of your upper body (+any objects you're lifting) will push on the part where your spine connects to your hip-bones.
Now, between the pieces of bone your spine is made of are pieces those pieces (shown WHITE in the image.)
Now, it's important to always have your back straight! (while sitting, lifting, everything.) (this might sound very much - but just keep an eye out on this, it's important.)
WHY is this important?
Ok, look at the lower part of your back at the 'lumbar curve'. When you DON'T sit up straight, your whole spine will form like a ball, there won't be curves in your spine, just one ball-like line (just, bend your back and you'll know what I mean.)
When this happens, the bone parts of your spine will move, this means that they'll get closer to each other on the inside of the curve.
Now, remember the hard pieces between the bones? (WHITE on the image) .. they will get pushed back, because the bones have gotten closer to each other on the front.
When they're pushed back, they can hit your nerve systems. And that's what hurting you!
Now, when you bend a few times, not much happens, but when you always sit like a potato sack, then these (WHITE) pieces between the bones will shape after there 'new' position, they're forced that way, and they'll get pushed back much easier.
Thus, when you do a lot of sitting like a potato sack and lifting with a rounded back, you'll easier get pain in the lower back.
OK, what are we going to do about this?
Sit straight. When lifting, lift with your legs, not your back.
Now, sitting straight can be hard. Us humans aren't really designed for sitting, but much more for standing and laying down.
So you'll have to set up everything well to prevent and to cure your pains caused by bad ergonomics.
Chair: Sit up straight, position your knees in a 90 degree angle. Your feet should hit the ground, AND your upper leg should lay on the chair at the same point.
Your back should be straight, it's spine should have the normal 'double S-form'. Now, because your legs in comparison to your back is in a 90 degree angle it's hard to keep a straight back because you're legs are getting 'pulled down'.
So you can: sit up straight without touching the back of your chair, this is really tiring though!
Or you should make sure that the back of your chair has an 'anti-kyphosis' (hope I'm using the right term.. )
Just look at a 'good' chair. It should be rounded near your lower back? Why, because if it's like that it support your spine in a way that it can stay in it's original position.
Now there are good chairs and bad chairs with the 'anti-kyphosis' a good chair will 'fit' most people. They're designed in such way that almost 90% of the population can sit on them and have there lumbar curve supported. a bad chair would be one that has a little 'anti-kyphosis' but only works for 1 or 2 people..
Now, you can also get a chair measured up for you. If you really have a lot of pain and have money to spend, you can check into that,
But forcing yourself to sit up straight (and if you never done that that much, it WILL be tiring and it's easy to fall back in your old pattern, but when it does tire you, stand up and walk! Or lay down and rest! Don't be a potato sack or hunchback)
And getting a chair that supports your back in a good way is something that's really important for people that sit a lot (like behind computers..)
Training your back is also something that can be wise when you have a weak back - you need to have those muscles to make you sit up well. Oh, and remember, just like any other muscle and such, don't stress it out to much.. your body should feel relaxed at all times, and if it isn't, adjust something to MAKE it feel relaxed!! All the product you use should be adjusted to YOU, not you adjusting to some product!
Now, if this doesn't help, or it's like a lot of pain, strange pain, pain that doesn't disappear even after much sleeping etc. It could be wise to consult a doctor!
Hope this helps, and if something is not clear (because I'm bad at English terms) please ask! And I'll try to explain something again!
Good luck!

BioWare slipped out some fresh screenshots for "Dragon Age: Inquisition" on Saturday that reveals one of the new areas in the upcoming PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC role-playing game. Welcome to the Western Approach where a once fertile land was turned into a hostile desert.
The screenshots were released on the official "Dragon Age" Facebook page and show of different parts of the barren landscape that is The Western Approach. This includes images of the Fortress of Adamant, which just so happens to sit right next to the Abyssal Rift.
In an accompanying post on the official site, it is explained that the Fortress of Adamant was built to stand against the darkspawn that spilled out from the Abyssal Rift. The location was built by dwarves and housed griffons to help in the fight. However, the years were not kind to the surrounding area and the expense of maintaining the fortress eventually became too much for the Grey Wardens to justify. While the fortress was built solidly enough that it still stands, the post suggests that it would be difficult to resurrect.
This description fits in well with the strategic component of "Dragon Age: Inquistion." As the Inquisitor, players will have to reclaim lands against the invading darkspawn and set up shop in different fortresses around the land of Thedas. Capturing these points is crucial though as it opens up new areas to explore. Players will have to decide which locations to man, where to deploy troops and agents and when to withdraw from attacking forces.
"Dragon Age: Inquisition" is more of an open-world title than its predecessors but it is not as seamless as the current benchmark, "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim." Instead, it will feature large zones for the players to explore such as The Western Approach.
The game is currently scheduled to be released on Oct. 7, 2014. This will be a simultaneous worldwide release for the PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC.

Sometimes I like to take a step away from giving gold tips and add some other tips in the mix. It may not put gold in your pocket, but it will make your game life slightly easier.
With Mists of Pandaria the Have Gift Will Travel guild perk will be changing to Ride Like the Wind. The new guild perk will increse speed on the flight paths (right now it's listed at 0% so it's undetermined exactly how fast it will be).
So why is this important to us? Because everyone wants the For the Alliance/For the Horde achievmeents and the Reins of the Black War Bear for their collection. And the changing of this Guild perk will remove a very useful tactic for raiding a major city.
Currently the best strategy I've seen for killing all for faction leaders is to sneak rogues into all four major cities. Have them sit there and then summon the raid to the Faction leaders area. Kill the leader then escape from the city. By the time the group is reformed outside then the next rogue can summon to the next kill spot. If done quickly enough the achievement is yours, and your on your way to your mailbox to collect your mount.
I have been very suprised that Blizzard didn't gimp this perk more during the cataclysm expansion. But now that they have changed it, it is a perfect time to take advantage of the amount of wowcations that players are taking before the MOP expansion.
Good Luck and Good Hunting

VANCOUVER -- British Columbians have bought into the reality of climate change like never before, but most wouldn't spend even $100 a year extra in taxes to help save the world, results of a poll conducted by Ipsos Reid show.
Conducted Feb. 7-13 for the Vancouver Sun, the wide-ranging poll also tests British Columbians' commitment to changing their polluting ways in favour of a greener, more sustainable future, and their faith in government to help bring about that change.
According to the poll, the vast majority of residents (84 per cent) are convinced global warming is happening and have personally seen evidence of changes taking place in the environment.
And 77 per cent of respondents said they are willing to make significant changes to their lifestyle in order to stop climate change.
However, 53 per cent of those polled say they aren't willing to pay more in taxes - even as little as $100 extra a year - in order to achieve greener results.
Pollster Kyle Braid suggested that's not surprising.
"It's rare you get half the pubic ever agreeing that they are willing to pay extra taxes on anything," he said.
Most - 66 per cent - say climate change should be a focus during the next federal election, and will be an important factor in their vote.
The poll was a random sample of 715 adult British Columbians. The results are considered accurate to within plus or minus 3.7 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse are all dressed in their Halloween park attire. Cody Reynolds, senior character artist with Disney Design Group, explained how Mickey got his hat as seen in the plush below.
In the main piece of art, every character is wearing a hat except Mickey, said Cody. I chose not to put a hat on Mickey as it would have blocked the view of The Haunted Mansion. Yet I knew a hat would be important for some categories to use, so I drew a top hat for him. If you look carefully at the main art, you will see a ghost is actually holding Mickeys hat. I thought it was a nice nod to one of the final attraction scenes where the Hitchhiking Ghosts have some fun with guests.
There will also be a super cuddly Jack Skellington and his dog Zero from Tim Burtons The Nightmare Before Christmas. A new nine-inch plush featuring Mickey Mouse dressed like Jack will also be available.
Duffy the Disney Bear also has a few new items. In addition to a new open edition pin, there will be a 9-inch Duffy plush (which is a new sized bear) and a 17-inch bear costume. These items were inspired by the Halloween attire that Duffy wore last year at Disney Parks.

Elizabeth Caporuscio went yard for her third homer of the year, a three-run shot to dead center. Two additional runs came in, unearned, before the Sun Devils closed the inning up 6-0 after batting around the lineup.

GAME TWO: ASU 8, Pitt 2
The Sun Devils put seven runs on the board in the first inning to start with another commanding lead on Saturday night. Johnson scored her second run of the game in the top of the third, coming in on Amber Freeman's single to right center, 8-0.
Coyle homered in the first inning, her ninth of the season which is also tops on the club. She finished the game 3-for-3 with two RBI and one run scored.
Dallas Escobedo was pitching a perfect game through two complete frames and mowed down the first seven batters she faced, swinging. Jenna Makis came in to pitch during the fifth inning with the Devils lead 8-0 and looking for a mercy rule.
Pitt went off for solo homers in the fifth and sixth, staving off a run rule and closed the gap at 8-2. Escobedo would come back in to pitch during the sixth and continued to roll, getting three more strikeouts. She would finish the game with 15 total strikeouts for her 12th win of the year (12-1). Clint Myers earned his 400th career win behind the 8-2 victory and is now the third ASU softball coach to reach the milestone.
ASU held on to the 8-2 advantage through the final frame. Pittsburgh's Alexa Larkin went the distance in the loss, striking out five while falling to 4-3.

Elizabeth Caporuscio's homer in game one of the twin-bill was her third of the season and 19th of her career.
Cheyenne Coyle picked up her ninth homer of the year during the second game of the double header. She leads the Sun Devils in homers this season.
Clint Myers picked up his 400th win with Sun Devil softball on Saturday against Pittsburgh. He is the third head coach in program history and joins both of the former coaches in the 400-win club. ASU softball's coach with the most wins was Linda Wells, who had a 561-415 record in 16 years. Myers is 400-91 all-time at the Division I level, which he has amassed in his eight years at Arizona State, since 2006.
As of Friday, Myers ranked second among Division I winningest active coaches with a .814 win percentage. He only trails behind in-state rival Mike Candrea of Arizona. In win/loss percentage since Myers joined Arizona State, 2006, the skipper is third, also with a .814 win percentage. He marks the highest Pac-12 school ranked in that category in that time frame, and one of just three in the top 10.

How to Decide Whether to Exercise a Call Option
Original post by Leslie McClintock of Demand Media
A call option is an option to purchase a security at a specific price. These options are bought and sold over stock exchanges just like securities. Investors seeking to eke out a few dollars of extra income will frequently sell call options, while investors may buy a call option in order to protect themselves against an unexpected price move in a specific security, or to gain exposure to large potential gains while putting up a very small amount of capital. Options are good only for a limited period of time, however. At the end of the time period, your options will expire worthless, regardless of the price of the underlying stock.
Step 1
Determine the current market value of the security. You can do this by going to a market news portal, such as an investing website or a major newspaper's website. You can also look up the previous day's closing prices in the financial pages of many major newspapers.
Step 2
Compare the current price of the security with the "strike price" of the call option. This is the price at which the seller of the call option has promised he will sell the security to you. You can find the strike price on your option contract. In the case of employer-granted stock options, your human resources department can point out the strike price and expiration data for you.
Step 3
Exercise the option if the current market price of the security is higher than the strike price of the call option. This means the option is "in the money." You may be able to sell the security right away after buying it, resulting in an immediate profit. In some cases, however, the market for a given security may be illiquid, and you may have difficulty finding a willing buyer. It can also be difficult to sell quickly during periods of rapid decline, as a security's price can "gap" downward very quickly if there is a lot of selling pressure in the market. Do not exercise the option if the strike price on the call option is higher than the market value of the security.
Tips & Warnings
- You may be able to sell the option, rather than exercise it - especially if the option is "in the money." This may save you brokerage fees, since you would have to pay a commission to a broker to purchase the securities. You also may wish to sell the option, rather than exercise it, if you don't have the cash to purchase the security outright.

Land used for extensive grazing in the neotropics has increased continuously over the past decades and most of this increase has been at the expense of forests. Ranching-induced deforestation is one of the main causes of loss of some unique plant and animal species in the tropical rainforests of Central America and South America as well as carbon release in the atmosphere. Although the driving forces changed, this process is known to be still ongoing, while more and more evidence is becoming available on the often unsustainable use this represents. With time productivity declines and severe degradation problems occur.
Brazil has the second biggest herd of cattle in the world, with 160 million head, and the biggest commercial herd on the planet. Thus, we raise the following question: are these data worth the negative environmental impact caused by this activity? We obviously need to supply the population's demand for animal protein, but...?
Under growing and urbanising demand, livestock production is rapidly evolving in South, East and South-east Asia, with both an increase of production and a shift to intensive production systems. These changes infer impacts on the environment, on public health and on rural development. Phosphate overloads are estimated on 23.6% of this region's agricultural land, mainly located in eastern China, the Ganges basin and around urban centres such as Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City and Manila. On average, livestock manure is estimated to account for 39.4% of the agricultural P2O5 supply. Livestock is the dominant agricultural source of P2O5 around urban centres and in livestock specialised areas.

Google announces a Play Store redesign for Android devices
Rolling out from today
INTERNET GIANT Google announced a redesign for its Google Play store on Tuesday, with a new-found focus on content discovery.
Google announced the redesign on its blog, and seemed pretty excited about it. Google said, "Whether you're in the mood to listen to Justin Timberlake's new album, read Harlan Coben's latest bestseller or discover a new game to play, you want the experience of finding and making your purchase to be quick and easy."
"Today we've started rolling out a redesigned Google Play store on Android phones and tablets that is simple, clean and - most importantly - helps you find great entertainment, fast.
The redesign, which bumps Google Play to version 4.0, is rolling out to Android devices running v2.2 and above from today - although it doesn't seem to be showing up here in the UK yet. However, it'll be easy to spot when it does, as Google Play v4.0 boasts a new user interface with a lighter background and larger images, which Google has done to make pictures "jump off the page".
The update also sees similarly themed content grouped together to make things easier to find, and Google said that the Play store will continue to offer recommendations as you move down the page, so you should never be short of new stuff to download.
"As you move down the page, new recommendations continue to appear so there is always more to see and explore," Google said.
Google has also simplified the checkout process, which means that users can download their apps as quickly as possible. µ

You can try creating a vdir pointing to your Web application on IIS

Basically, you need a custom "many-to-one" authentication mapping, and
since IIS does not come with any modules supporting it by default (but
it can and has been built by others), you have to implement it
somewhere on IIS. IIS only supports any-to-one (Anonymous) and one-to-

It doesn't matter how long you wait. What you want is for the browser
to auto-authenticate with a user account of your choosing, and that
will likely never happen.
It used to be possible for the web application to pass
username:password on the URL, but that turned out to be a security
vulnerability as well.
In your situation, there is no way to avoid users having to type in
the additional password unless you have the application either accept
pass-thru authentication or do some sort of many-to-one mapping
yourself. It's just not secure to have it happen "automagically", so I
wouldn't hold my breath waiting.

Monday, March 24, 2014 was World TB Day. CNN released Diabetes and TB: A growing threat on March 24, 2014. Dr. Susan Fisher-Hoch, MD is a professor at the University of Texas Houston School of Public Health at Brownsville, TX. Fisher-Hoch wrote this feature article on the increase of tuberculosis (TB) in all 50 states in the US, and around the world, and the link between TB and diabetes.
TB increased dramatically in the 1980's with the growth of AIDS/HIV. TB is now growing fastest among the population of diabetes patients due to the weakened immune system caused by diabetes. Many of the medicines used to treat TB do not produce the expected response when the TB patient is also diabetic. The global increase in obesity has increased diabetes dramatically, and exposes more people to TB.
Fisher-Hoch recommends that all physicians treating diabetes patients check them for the presence of TB. This has not been the common practice in the US. TB is not generally considered a major problem in the US despite 9,600 new cases in 2013. TB has been seen mainly in states on the Mexican border and in the Pacific Northwest. Other areas with increased incidence of TB are found where the overall health of the population is compromised due to poor health care such as in Appalachia and in homeless populations of major cities.
TB can be dormant for 10 years or longer before symptoms appear. In the Pacific Northwest, it is estimated that 20 to 30% of new active cases of TB are in patients with diabetes. The Mayo Clinic offers guidance as to the symptoms of active TB. If the TB occurs outside of the lungs, standard symptoms such as coughing up blood may not be present. Latent TB is not contagious, but it can become active and then highly contagious.
A major issue in treating TB in diabetic patients is that their compromised immune system extends the period needed to overcome the TB bacteria. New strains of drug resistant TB bacteria have been occurring as TB bacteria have mutated when the drugs have not totally eliminated the existing TB bacteria. Given the spread of TB among individuals with compromised immune systems, the relationship of TB and diabetic patients creates a perfect storm.
Fisher-Hoch summarizes the need for a new approach for finding and curing TB.
"We must educate health care providers, patients and communities. All TB patients should be screened for diabetes. Diabetes caregivers and their patients need to be aware of the risk of TB, and patients born in or traveling to neighborhoods or countries where TB is common should be screened. If TB is found, these patients need treatment, along with the support they need to get through the many months of daily medication."
Fisher-Hoch goes on to describe the necessary role that government must hold in slowing the growth of TB.
"We also need strong investment in research and development of TB vaccines, rapid and inexpensive diagnostic methods for both TB and diabetes, and fast-acting, easy-to-take TB medication. Research largely depends on government funding since the pharmaceutical industry shows little interest in TB. Congress has not made TB a priority despite the increasing risk to the public at large."
The global epidemic of obesity, which is increasing most rapidly in China and India, has led to much higher incidence of TB in these countries. Mexico and Caribbean countries have some of the highest levels of diabetes, and some of the poorest health care. This combination of TB and diabetes assures that TB will continue to spill over to countries bordering these nations, and to travelers that have been in these areas.
The release of a study on March 4, 2014 in the journal Cell Metabolism has defined the mechanism that links obesity to the metabolic syndrome known as insulin resistance. The link has now been defined through the integration of two studies at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center by a team led by Barbara Kahn, MD and a team lead by Pedro M. Moraes-Vieira, PhD. The studies determined the specific interactions that triggered the auto-immune system to activate an immune response that ultimately ends in obesity causing type II diabetes.
At this point, the US pharmaceutical companies do not consider the development of an effective TB vaccine to be economically attractive. Funding for research on TB prevention and treatment has not been a high priority to date. As the populations of the world become increasingly obese, the incidence of diabetes and TB will grow to epidemic proportions.
It is important that those in the medical profession respond to this new information linking obesity, diabetes and TB by encouraging weight loss, cross screening of diabetic and TB patients, and the development of new treatments and vaccines to slow the spread of TB.

BYU rugby: Jonny Linehan's kick with no time left gives Cougars third national title in five years
Tom Smart, Deseret News
PROVO — Being a freshman, BYU's Jonny Linehan hadn't been around for past colossal rubgy matches against archrival Cal. He had never played for a Varsity Cup national championship.
But the young halfback from Auckland, New Zealand, who has been playing rugby since he could walk, was unfazed Saturday afternoon at South Field. He performed like a seasoned veteran in helping lead the Cougars to a dramatic 27-24 victory in the national championship match over the previously unbeaten Bears.
It marked BYU's second-consecutive national title and its third since 2009.
Linehan, who earned MVP honors, scored 22 of BYU's 27 points — including an improvisational, game-winning drop kick as time expired to break a 24-24 tie and furnish a classic finish.
The Cougars advanced the ball deep into Cal territory in the final minute, looking to end the deadlock and the match. While the game clock ran out, Linehan knew there was still a handful of seconds left in stoppage time for some magic.
"I asked the ref with about 10 minutes to go, 'Is the game clock spot on?'," said Linehan, who enrolled at BYU in January. "He said it was about one minute off. So I knew we had a bit of time after it expired."
BYU senior captain Ryan Roundy came close to scoring a try in the frenetic final moments, but was unable to cross the goal line.
"I really wanted Roundy to push it over for that try," Linehan said. "He almost got it there. But he set us up perfect. I thought that time must be close to being up. And if it's not, this is the time to strike."
After a scrum, Linehan found himself alone with the ball, and he caught the Bears by surprise — booting a three-point drop kick that sailed through the uprights.
"It was a bit of improvising. We were in front of the post," said Linehan. "I thought, '100 percent of the time in practice I put this through. But maybe when it comes down to the big moment, I'll shank it.' But I was fortunate enough to put it through the post. I wouldn't like to do it again."
"Jonny's kicking was on today," said BYU flanker Kyle Sumsion. "I don't think anybody expected him to drop kick. (Cal) was back 10 yards when he kicked that through. He's an awesome player and we're glad to have him this year."
Cal never saw Linehan's kick coming.
"There's not much you can do about it," Bears coach Jack Clark said of Linehan's game-winner. "He's sitting back in the pocket and he was a long way away from anyone being able to challenge that. ... It was a very precarious situation there. Had he missed the drop goal, maybe we had an overtime in us. But he's a good kicker."
With the win, BYU avenged a setback to Cal in the 2011 national championship match. The two teams are the powerhouses of collegiate rugby, and have built up quite a rivalry over the years.
Going into the match, Cougar coach David Smyth knew this contest was going to be a hard-fought battle.
"I woke up this morning at 3 o'clock. I had a feeling then that it was going to turn out like this," he said. "I knew whoever won, it would be by the slimmest of margins. I'm obviously very happy it was us."
Following Linehan's heroics, the freshman was mobbed on the field by his teammates, and then the fans joined in the celebration.

Junior defensive tackle Brian Price was named today to the 2009 Outland Trophy Watch List. The award honors the nation's top interior lineman.
Price was named first-team All-Pac-10 last season after leading the Bruins with 14.0 tackles for loss. He ranked seventh in the conference with his 1.17 tackles for loss average and has recorded 21 tackles for loss in his last 16 games.
The Outland Trophy, presented annually since 1946, is the third oldest award in major college football. The winner of the Outland Trophy, named after the late John Outland, an All-America lineman at Penn and Kansas at the turn of the century, will be announced on the Home Depot ESPNU College Football Awards Show on Dec. 10 in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.
The Outland Trophy presentation banquet, sponsored by the Greater Omaha Sports Committee, will be held on Jan. 14 in Omaha, Neb.

Amyloid plaques are insoluble protein aggregations that underlie many neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's, Huntington's, and the prion diseases. Very little is known about amyloid fiber polymerization. Our lab seeks to understand amyloid formation by studying the biogenesis of an amyloid fiber produced by bacteria called curli. Curli fibers produced by E. coli and other enterobacteriaceae members are important determinants of biofilm formation and are proposed to be virulence factors. Our lab uses a variety of biochemical, microscopic, and genetic techniques to elucidate how E. coli assembles these biologically fascinating fibers.
We are also interested in the native function of curli fibers. Curli have been shown to be an integral part of a complex stationary phase developmental pathway in E. coli and Salmonella. This pathway has clear implications for the ability of these bacteria to both survive in nature and to cause disease in humans. Therefore, we are investing the role of curli in coordinating distinct developmental pathways using in vitro and in vivo methods.

Written by Rob Feld
(June 24, 2011)
Screenplays can live long, multifaceted lives in Hollywood yet never get born. Roger L. Simon had been the father of one such child until it was adopted by Eric Eason twentysomething years later and turned into a contemporary drama, directed by Chris Weitz.
A Better Life began when television and film producer Paul Junger Witt was told a story about a friend's illegal immigrant gardener in L.A. whose truck had been stolen and was unable to go to the police for fear of being deported. It was 1989, and Simon was carrying around a newly minted Oscar nomination for Enemies: A Love Story, with all the popularity that brings when Witt called him in.
"Do you think there's a movie in that or not?" Witt queried.
Simon did and by his own account jumped at it. He was a fan of Italian Neorealism and drew a great deal from Vittorio De Sica's Umberto D. and Bicycle Thieves as he set about telling the story of a Los Angeles illegal immigrant and his son, whose chance to build a better life for them and keep his son from crime is dashed when the heart of his gardening business, his truck, is stolen.
"It was always a father-son story, with the son being older than the son in Bicycle Thieves so that he would have a choice in life," says Simon, who has a Story By credit on the final movie. "In the Bicycle Thieves, the son is lovely but more of a prop, whereas the initial conception here was to derive tension from two things: Would the hero get arrested and sent back to Mexico? And, obviously, getting his truck back while not a citizen, which is harder because you can't call the police. Also, making the son older and prey to the gangs was my original conception to provide the emotional tension between father and son, which Eric's script preserved."
Columbia sat on Simon's script, and he continued to write for Witt on spec, with the agreement that he would direct. Andy Garcia got involved and Simon started scouting locations in the late, '90s but the money never came through.
"I stayed with the project until the early 2000s," says Simon. "I just burned out on it after a while. Not that I didn't love it, I did, it was sort of heartbreaking. Fade out, fade in, the new team came in and got it made, and I'm completely pleased with the result."
By the time Paul Witt finally brought on Eason (Journey to the End of the Night), Witt had carried it as a passion project for over 20 years.
"Eric was chosen based upon our reading of his entire body of work," says Witt. "His great compassion for his characters, his understanding of their specific culture and their sense of family made him ideal for A Better Life."
Eason's treatment cut a dog named Flag in homage to Umberto D. and a screenwriter character Simon loosely based on himself. "What Eric and Chris Weitz did was completely isolate the gardener in the world of illegals and not have him interact with the outside," says Simon. "I like what they did. The heart of the movie is the same, the structural differences are different choices, and I understand why they made them, though the character is the same; I call him the Zen Gardener – he was very into himself and very moral."
Eason, who grew up in New York and moved with his wife to Buenos Aires for a change of pace, comes from a filmmaking background; his aunt was an actress in the '50s, and he has both an uncle and a cousin with Oscars. He made some short films and his first feature, Manito, about two brothers in Latino Washington Heights, won a string of festival and nominations and awards in 2002.
A Better Life is the first screenplay you've written that you didn't direct, as well. Can you tell me how the project came to you?
Eric Eason: I'd previously worked on a different writing assignment for Paul Witt and Christian McLaughlin. That project never came to fruition, alas, but a few years later Paul and Christian contacted me about rewriting A Better Life, and I jumped at the chance to work with them again. Roger Simon's basic story and general setting held a strong attraction for me for a number of reasons, the least of which was that the national immigration debate seems to be an insoluble issue. But here was a chance to write something timely and relevant that might open some minds.
How did you decide to focus the story, then?
Eric Eason: I proposed a page-one re-conception of the screenplay; retaining its basic premise while greatly enhancing the father-son relationship, predicating everything around its dramatic outcome. In Roger's draft, there was a lot going on; lots of subplots, supporting characters –
Russian loan sharks, Samoan criminals – robbery scenes. It was Capra-esque in ambition and tone. For example, the hero's dog shows up in a penultimate courtroom scene and barks at the judge (neither the dog nor the courtroom are in my version). This isn't a knock on Roger. Simply, his draft read more like a fable and tackled many stories. My approach was to root everything in realism and focus only on the father and son story.
Tell me more about that sense of veracity and the efforts you made to create it.
Eric Eason: I should start by saying that I'm not Latino but my first feature film, Manito, was set in the Latino world. And one of the things I'm most proud of is that audiences and critics felt it was an honest and realistic portrayal. I wanted to bring the same sense of veracity to the writing of A Better Life. I did a lot of conventional research visiting East L.A., interviewing people face to face and over the phone. And then, before I sat down to begin the actual writing of the script, I went on LEXIS-NEXUS and culled hundreds of articles about my key subjects; stories about single parents getting deported, the failed L.A. school system, gang culture, East L.A. projects, etc. From these articles I would cut out memorable passages and paste them around my office on index cards. Then, before starting work each day, I would read through each passage so as to keep all the themes fresh in my head. I also did some unconventional research utilizing YouTube. I would pull up hours and hours of videos posted by people from East Los Angeles: teenage kids who filmed themselves in school yards, family weddings, parties, gang initiation footage, music videos by Chicano Rappers. I literally must have viewed 700 different videos which helped my picking up cadences of speech and slang use, not to mention more subtle things like hairstyles, wardrobes, humor, etc. To be clear, I'm not advocating that a writer should solely do his or her research using YouTube, but as a compliment to more conventional means, it can be a treasure trove.
You speak Spanish, yes?
Eric Eason: I've lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina for the last five years so I can get around in Spanish, but I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable writing in it. One of the great things Chris Weitz did as director was to lean heavily on his actors, many of whom were born and raised in East L.A. If one of my slang lines rang false, Chris would ask the actors to offer a "truer," more current version. And that kind of input adds another layer of veracity to the story.
What are your hopes for the film?
Eric Eason: My hope is that the film moves people so that they open their hearts and minds about immigration reform. To be clear, the film shies away from coming down on any side of the issue. But on a personal note, I have three family members who happen to be married to undocumented immigrants from Central America (Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras). I've seen how much strain and fear they live with because of their pariah-like status. And I also have seen how much they've contributed to this country. It would be a fine thing if A Better Life helped to jump-start the debate and steer the country to a compassionate solution.

THE OVERRIDING question after Saints' comprehensive defeat at Huddersfield was 'where did that one come from?' After two promising displays and two decent results, things were looking up and up for Saints.
But the performance at the Galpharm Stadium was a horror show.
By the end it became a sad reminder of some of the performances and results we saw last season that culminated in relegation to League One.
That same mental fragility that Alan Pardew appeared to have rid the team of in double quick time was back.
There was no lack of effort, make no mistake about that.
But a lack of toughness mentally, almost a fear at times of getting the ball down, and a frailty all over the pitch that made you think Huddersfield would score every time the ball entered the Saints half.
Perhaps, on reflection, it was too much to ask that after not just last season but several years of being downtrodden and used to losing, that the entire culture at Saints could be turned around in a few weeks.
In fairness, the more you think about it the more you realise that was an unrealistic expectation.
But at the same time Saints cannot afford much more of this.
Huddersfield are a good team and most sides that go there this season will leave empty handed.
But if Saints were to play like this regularly, they would lose to most teams in the division.
Having said that, there was no point getting too carried away by the opening couple of results and performances and there's no point getting too carried away by this defeat.
We can put it down to a blip but Saints must ensure it is only that.
Saints were shaky at the back as Huddersfield tried to turn them with high balls and get in behind and vulnerable when they attacked down the wings.
The fact that the goals came directly or in second phase from set pieces does little in itself to dispel comparisons with the past.
Though Saints often went route one, thus bypassing the midfield, that area seldom threatened to get a grip on the game.
The front pairing of Grzegorz Rasiak and Rickie Lambert got little supply to speak of but also played a relatively similar sort of game.
Incredibly, bearing in mind what was to come, it was actually Saints who settled the quicker and Adam Lallana almost gave them the lead with a lobbed half volley on the turn from 20 yards that dipped just over the bar.
Aside from one ball into Lambert's feet that he held up and laid to Lloyd James whose shot deflected over, that was as good as it got for Saints in the first half.
Kelvin Davis must have thought it was 2008/09 all over again as his role was largely to produce a series of great stops to keep the score down.
Davis saved brilliantly from Lee Novak, throwing himself in the way of the ball after some slack defending allowed the ball to bounce in the box and the Huddersfield striker the time to control on his chest and volley from close range.
Davis also dived full length to turn wide a deflected Peter Clarke shot from the edge of the area in a half that also saw Jordan Rhodes put a shot into the ground from close range that bounced over.
The only real positive at half time was that the match was goalless.
Saints would surely be better in the second half.
But Davis was back in action just two minutes after the restart, brilliantly turning over from Novak.
Davis even threatened the ultimate in heroics when, for the second week in a row, he saved a penalty.
This one was conceded by Chris Perry who was adjudged to have bundled Novak over in the box.
Rhodes took it but it was weak and Davis got down low to his left to save.
Only this week the luck was not with him and when the ball spun off his body it went back to Rhodes who gratefully tapped the Terriers into the lead from one yard.
Amazingly Saints got themselves back level four minutes later when Lallana's corner was met by a towering header from Lambert.
It was so powerful Adam Smithies could only parry it on to the underside of his bar.
The ball bounced out but the linesman flagged to signal Saints had equalised.
They didn't deserve it, but this is football so who cares?
This was a chance for Saints to kick on and get something.
Sadly it had the opposite effect as Huddersfield were rampant for the remainder of the match.
They restored their advantage on 68 minutes when a corner was cleared back out to the left and the whipped ball in was met by a diagonal run by Rhodes who wasn't tracked.
His flicked header with pace already on the ball gave Davis no chance.
The points were sealed with eight minutes remaining when Davis somehow saved a flicked header from in amongst a crowd of players after a deep left sided free kick, but Antony Kay was on hand to head back into the net.
Davis had another couple of saves to make to top the day off while his opposite number, Smithies, was largely redundant for most of the afternoon.
This, hopefully, will be a game quickly forgotten.

So I made a huge blunder. In the devices menu on Windows 8, I selected to project to a second screen only on accident. I had two monitors connected but only the primary one was actually displaying anything. So I projected it and now I can't access anything. The primary screen will show the windows icon when it loads, but then it disappears and I can't login or anything. Surely there's a way to get it back on the primary screen?
Thanks a bunch. I'm really lost..

Was U.S. skier Bode Miller pushed too far Sunday during an NBC interview that kept asking questions about the death of his younger brother?
It was certainly an emotional moment even before Miller agreed to the interview with NBC's Christin Cooper.
Miller had come up lacking in his two prior alpine skiing events at the Sochi Olympics. And it would have been strike three had he failed to reach the podium Sunday in the super-G.
But Miller delivered a very solid effort that was good enough to tie for a bronze medal. It was the sixth Winter Olympics medal for the 36-year-old Miller, who became the oldest medalist in Olympic alpine skiing history.
Miller savored the moment a while with his wife at the bottom of the super-G hill, then came an interview with Cooper, a former Olympic skier herself, now turned "sideline" reporter.
It didn't take long for Cooper to hit a raw, emotional nerve with Miller: the death of his younger brother Chelone.
Chelone "Chilly" Miller, a competitive snowboarder known for his progressive style, was found dead in his van from a seizure in April 2013.
The camera zoomed in for a very close up shot of Miller as he spoke with Cooper.
Cooper: Bode, you're showing so much emotion down here. What's going through your mind?
Miller: (after a long pause) A lot, obviously. A long struggle coming in here. And, uh, just a tough year.
Cooper: I know you wanted to be here with Chilly experiencing these games, how much does it mean to you to come up with a great performance for him? And was it for him?
Miller: I mean, I don't know it's really for him. But I wanted to come here and uh – I don't know, I guess make myself proud.
As Miller began to tear up, Cooper kept up the questioning.
Cooper: When you're looking up in the sky at the start, we see you there and it just looks like you are talking to somebody. What's going on there?
This time no answer came back from Miller, who instead found refuge against a fence that separated him from Cooper.
Cooper could be heard whispering – "sorry" – and put her hand on Miller's shoulder before he walked away a few seconds later.
Although Cooper was almost immediately being blasted by media members and on social media worldwide, did the interview really push the limit? The answer here is no.
Cooper did what many other reporters would have done in the same situation. She gently asked questions that frankly everyone probably wanted to hear from Miller, who is typically not very revealing personally during interviews.
A day later, Miller wasn't chastising Cooper, he was defending her.
Miller told angry viewers to be "gentle" with Cooper. On Twitter, he wrote – "I appreciate everyone sticking up for me. Please be gentle w christin cooper, it was crazy emotional and not all her fault."
Prior to Sunday's race, NBC had made Miller's story regarding his deceased brother a big part of its coverage. Miller even spoke about his brother with Tom Brokaw one day prior to the super-G. And NBC aired a heartfelt feature segment on the Miller brothers prior to Bode's super-G run.
Yet Associated Press media writer David Bauder called the Cooper interview a "shameful spectacle," and added, "It was tone-deaf and cruel, and short-circuited the thoughtful, intelligent perspectives Miller had started to offer until he couldn't talk anymore."
Richard Sandomir, a reporter with the New York Times agreed. "Cooper and NBC lacked the sensitivity to know when enough was enough," wrote Sandomir.
Taking note of all the criticism, NBC issued a statement, defending the interview.
"Our intent was to convey the emotion that Bode Miller was feeling after winning his bronze medal. We understand how some viewers thought the line of questioning went too far, but it was our judgment that his answers were a necessary part of the story. We're gratified that Bode has been publicly supportive of Christin Cooper and the overall interview."
This is 2014 and life in the media fishbowl often results in probing, regardless of the subject. In the case of Miller, he didn't get pushed too hard by Cooper. She was doing what most good reporters often do: their job.

Despite working on some TV shows, I don't actually get to watch very much television. Something you may not know about me is that I am a big Law & Order fan, mostly of the older cast but some of the new stuff is pretty good. Lucky for me, the cable network TNT plays tons of reruns all day long.
So, earlier this year I noticed network graphics had changed, and the new ones were simply amazing. It seems the design studio TROIKA created the incredible work that very much inspired me. After playing around with the concept, I realized there were a lot of great techniques that I thought would be useful to share. Although the original design seems to use a lot of 3D, I'll be using just After Effects with a little bit of Particular in the upcoming tutorial. Release date will be soon.
Even the metallic ring is built in After Effects.
The music and sound FX are from: Pro Scores and Designer Sound FX.
Check out our great Tools!
ihavent learn anything there but it would be good if you could do some easier tutorials like just text come and dissapear :)
nice job!
This will be a cool tutorial to disect. Tnx.
I cannot wait for the tutorial for this.
Post a tutorial on how to do it
Greetings from Colombia!
you dont have an idea, but here in argentina, a lot of tv shows use your presets, projects and tutorials in the comercials!!!!! you are like THE teacher here!!!!
you are mi idol, im serious!
However, your ring looks great too. Nice job!
Thanks for sharing!!!!
Are wee going to use CC Particles or just Trapcode?
Please Reply :)
make a tutorial for this one:D
Good Job!
Now we're on the same page Andrew.
Looking forward to any and all of the broadcast tutorials you put out.
Oh and by the way... Here is the rocking heart of Troika named Craig Stouffer (Mr. Bandito)
For the particles are you using a 4d fractal for the flow? just curious and though I would ask. It kind of looks that way. Can't wait for the tutorial.
look very 3D even you work on After Effect. I am one of your fan
I learned a lot from your tutorials.
Keep it up
How do you go by finding out who worked on what commercial? I kept thinking that effects was done in house in Turner Animation. How about the Target commercials, or the new Microsoft ones? Any input on that?
That looks amazing! :D
Excellent, elegant, simple. Looking forward to this one.
Best regurds!!!
I like it when you post a sample video before the tutorial, gives me a chance to try to re-create the effect first and then see how close I was!
Good stuff.
all jokes aside Andrew, you da man !!
Looking forward to learn how to make something like this.
Looking forward to the tutorial!
Its dangerous.Please please Dont try this at home.
We have reports for strange incidents arround the Globe.
Some how, someones try to manipulate people mines.
Dont Look This Ring, dont even try to decombose it
You have been warned....
PS1:You are f..... amazing....Keep Walking....
PS2:Forgive my poor English .I have Learn it from TV
of course not from "Law and Order" its obvious.
PS3:I prefer XBOX60 because it was a present.
PS4:Thank you very much,Teacher
May the Force be with ....my dad to keep pay my ADSL.
I am really looking forward to this tutorial!
...that is definably mind-blowing.
What a great coincidence that I was just trying to create a simarly water look with particular just now (I failed horobly though :)
I got the idea (today!) from another Troika branding video for the ABC network. They used a water kind of trail to unify all of their footage in the promo. Check it out at youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2suUgR-gaA). The simalarities in color and style are striking!
Looking forward to the next tutorial!
Greetings from the netherlands..
PS. Thank you for that I'm unable to watch TV relaxed anymore... After watching all the tutorials I'm consantly trying to figure out what's happening on the screen and how they did it. grrr...
Once again thanks for applying your talents to this amazing visual effect.
u Really managed to recreate it Perfectly! :]
I Really think that more "lifelike" demonstration and experiment in particle systems is needed.
especially all the physics section of it...recreating that randomness, and turbulence of particles is what i personally wanna learn.
thanx for doing this! :D
it reminds me of the abc one that spins and the paerticles come off it
Thanks & God Bless
slick Kman, slick!
Hope you're a lot better now?
Best wishes,
That's pretty sweet!
Can't wait to see how you did the ring.
This is the best VCP comment I've heard so far:
"oh my ship this is cool."
I agree with David. Oh my ship, this is cool.
It looks really awesome ..
Can you list which effects you used ?
Thanks very much !
Can't wait!
Really Cool Effect!!!
I heve rendering problems to little RAM (2G)
thanks for sharing this material with the world.
But seriously dude...jokes aside..you rock!
Anyways, thank you for the sample; waiting for the tutorial!!!
Andrew, You Rock.

Central Indiana is off to a dry start this morning, but scattered showers will develop especially as we head into the afternoon.
Highs will reach the mid 60s today. Our normal high is 67, so we're close to that. Spotty showers are possible after 1pm… but will be likely by late evening.
Tonight rain will be likely, so keep the rain gear handy if you have evening plans.
Sunday, scattered showers and thunderstorms remain in the forecast. By Sunday night, up to 1/2″ of rain is possible (that's counting today's rain too).
The weekend won't be a washout, but rain chances are there… and we're nearing the wettest April on record.
Monday and Tuesday look fantastic! Highs in the 70s to kick off the work week, and we could be close to 80 Tuesday!
Stay tuned for mid week storms. The timing still needs to be worked out, but late Wednesday into Thursday and Friday showers and storms are possible.
An early look at the mini marathon shows start temps in the 30s with scattered showers. We'll keep you posted… that's subject to change!

Tom Cruise Gave Suri $5 Million for Her Fifth Birthday?
"Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes celebrate their little girl's fifth birthday with sweet treats, flowers, celebrity friends, girly decorations and millions of dollars in cash!" begins a piece in OK!
The tab reports that "while the couple has been making an effort to cut back on spoiling" Suri, her birthday gift this year was "certainly over-the-top."
According to an "insider" for the tab, "Tom decided to add $5 million" to her trust fund "in honor of her milestone birthday."
OK! admits Suri's "$5 million birthday gift" is "extravagant – even by Hollywood standards."
But if it all sounds unbelievable, there's good reason.
It's NOT true.
A rep for Cruise assures Gossip Cop that the OK! tale is "totally untrue and false."
Maybe OK! should spend more time fact-checking, and less time pumping out inaccurate stories about celebrity spending.
Check out PHOTOS of Tom and Katie – sans Suri – on a cupcake outing!

This winter, as mild as it has been, is still cold, grey and desolate. We are stuck far too often inside the walls of our home, if not avoiding cold, avoiding the gazillion germs the kids are sharing. This week's strep is next week's croup is next week's pneumonia.
Motivation is hard to find, and I am clearly not a winter person.
I can only look ahead, to the warmth, to the green of spring and to the hope that it brings.
When that comes, I will lace up my shoes and start a season of challenges I enjoy, of start and finish lines, crowds and finisher medals, and maybe even a PR or two.
I'll do it because it's the only way I know how to fight back at cancer. I have far too many reasons.
What do you do to find hope? Got a name you'd like me to carry with me this season? Leave it in the comments.

At Crafty in Crosby, the mom-and-daughter duo Leigh and Jeanette knew that their swimming pool–or as they call it, "Redneck Swimming Hole"–was missing something. They decided a tiki bar would make their swimming hole complete, but didn't want to break the bank over it. And that's where two old pallets come in to the story!
Leigh and Jeanette screwed the pallets together, spray painted them dark brown, and glued tiles on the top. Nailing pieces of bamboo to the bar's sides and front gave it the perfect tiki touch. Great teamwork, Leigh and Jeanette!
Read all the details on how Leigh and Jeanette put this tiki bar together at Crafty in Crosby.
