kpathsea: Invalid fontname `<dictsym.pfb', contains '<'

So the font file called

Any help is appreciated.

Connecticut recently shut down the roll-your-own tobacco industry after first taking a store owner to court and losing. The state was charging that the tobacco shop, and all others like it, were skirting a particular tax law that enabled their product to be sold below the price of conventional cigarettes. After losing the suit they changed the law so that if a judge makes another decision like the one before, he or she will find that the rules have changed in favor the state.
The shops had their own machine where tobacco and tube paper were loaded into slots and the cigarette product was made. The customer operated the machine, therefore the store owner was not a manufacturer. If the store were to make the product then they would be labeled a "manufacturer" pay the tax and therefore not able to remain in business. Works all the time.
A Connecticut legislature wants to curb obesity and the way he wants to do this is to tax soda at 2% thinking that if the product were more expensive then people would buy less of it and therefore it would cause less fat people in the state. Such people happen to be morally repugnant the way smokers are. Make them pay.
So we have here an admission of what taxes do. It discourages activity. The tobacco shops are now all closed throughout the state because they could not pay the manufacture tax. What is the purpose of the manufacturer tax in the first place, and since we're on the subject whatever happened to all those manufacturers Connecticut used to have?
But having a manufacturer tax is the least of it. There are various other "business" taxes on top of it too. Business has to pay their fair share, right? But don't look for the legislature,or any other tax hungry politician to make the connection when one day they propose a tax to discourage an activity and then months later propose to raise an existing tax on those who employ people. When we have less people employed, something must be discouraging business from hiring or even staying in the state.

Aguero: New signings make us stronger
- 04 September 2013 09:08
- Posted by @porter_mcfc
Plenty of City players are now away with their national sides, but there are still a few titbits to chew over in this morning's papers.
We begin with Sergio Aguero, who is convinced that the Blues squad is stronger this season after the five new arrivals this summer, despite Carlos Tevez moving on to pastures new.
Sky Sports reports: "Aguero admits his fellow Argentine will be 'missed' at City, but feels deals for Alvaro Negredo, Stevan Jovetic, Jesus Navas, Fernandinho and Martin Demichelis have City in better shape to push for more silverware in 2013/14.
"He said in The Sun: 'Carlitos has moved on and he was a great team-mate.
'He's going to be missed but we wish him the best in his next step.
'But I always keep a close eye on Spanish football and Jesus Navas and Alvaro Negredo were two of its brightest stars.
'Having them in our side makes us stronger - the same applies to Fernandinho and Stevan. They are amazing players."
Meanwhile, Jack Rodwell is keen to impress Manuel Pellegrini to win a starting berth at City and force his way into the England squad.
The midfielder struggled with injuries in his first season at the Etihad Stadium, but finished strongly with two goals and an excellent individual performance against Norwich on the last day of the 2012/13 campaign.
Now, he is fit and ready to fight for his place for club and country.
He told the Daily Star: "Obviously Manuel Pellegrini is a great manager and I'm happy to see him come in as well so everyone is in that position where they want to win him over and I'm no different.
"I think everyone feels it's a fresh challenge more than anything. Everyone has come in and is trying to win the manager over which has brought a new lease of life."
Finally, Gareth Barry's skill and professionalism may have been missed by others, but not City fans, the Manchester Evening News proclaims this morning.
The midfielder agreed a season-long loan to Everton on Monday, and the paper's Stuart Brennan argues that his contribution to the Blues over the last four years was vital to success.
He writes: "Barry has been arguably City's most consistent performer in the last four seasons, the glue which binds it all together, providing cover for Kompany, and able support for Yaya and Silva.
"There are sneering cynics out there who try to belittle Barry, and who conjure up the horrible image of him being outpaced by Mesut Ozil as England slumped to defeat by Germany in the 2010 World Cup finals.
"That view of Barry is the view of football fans who do not see him play week in, week out. City fans have seen his shrewd tactical play, incredible work rate, physical strength and smart passing abilities – the stuff that never makes the cut in the Match of the Day highlights."
You can read City blogger Steven Allweis' excellent piece on Barry here.

More reasons to love Tina. Way to do 40.
I can't wait to see Date Night. I sure need one.
Tags: celebs, marriage, movies, my view, womens of a certain age
I'm dying to see Date Night!
We love Tina Fey, and 30 Rock is one of our favorite shows. Looking forward to seeing Date Night, too.
Did you see her last night on SNL? Brilliant.
Thanks so much for my sweet birthday wish. I had a lovely one watching Edward at the beach!
Saw Date Night last night – it actually is not that great a movie, but it is really funny. I know that sounds like a contradiction, but they are both hilarious. Enjoyed myself – nothing like a good laugh (my husband said I was laughing the loudest in the theater – not sure that is true).
I actually thought Date Night, while definitely having some funny moments, was depressing. Not the movie to see if you're having any doubts about your marriage, IMO!!

The Wildcats lost five seniors from the 2010 squad after finishing the season 20-12 overall and 9-9 in the Pac-10. They made their second-straight NCAA Tournament appearance, falling to Northwestern in the first round.

Retired engineer Aleksander Doba is not your typical retiree. Rather than settling down, the 67-year-old Polish kayaker launched his second trans-Atlantic paddling voyage. This time it was a 4,700-mile journey from Lisbon, Portugal to New Smyrna Beach, Florida USA.
On 10 January 2014 according to Amy Bucci of National Geographic, Doba was 900 miles from his destination.
At three knots (30 miles per day), Doba has paddled about 3,800 miles since leaving Lisbon, according to Bucci.
Aleksander Doba left Lisbon on 6 October 2013. He plans to arrive in Florida by mid-February 2014.
His crossing has not been easy. He endured numerous storms, saltwater exposure and equipment failure.
He has not been able to text or talk to anyone since 20 December 2013.
His family and friends are concerned. However, Doba is a seasoned kayaker. In 2010, he paddled from Africa to South America. He made the 3,400-mile voyage in 99 days. He was 64-years-old.
Doba is the fourth person to paddle a kayak across the Atlantic, according to journalist Dave Costello. He was the first to do so from Africa (Dakar, Senegal) to Acara, Brazil. His 99-day journey is the longest kayaking voyage in history.
With the completion of his first voyage, Doba joined "an exclusive club of solo kayak adventurers," according to Costello.
The tradition began with Franz Romer in 1928. He paddled from Portugal to Puerto Rico in 58 days. Dr. Hannes Lindemann was next to gain the honor in 1956. He paddled from the Canary Islands to the British Virgin Islands. He was 72 days at sea.
Dr. Lindemann left a record of his remarkable adventure in his book Alone at Sea.
Peter Bray made two attempts to cross the Atlantic in 2001 and again in 2002. On his first voyage, he spent nearly two days submerged in 36-degree waters. It took him four months to regain the use of his legs.
A year later, he paddled from St. John's, Newfoundland to Beldereg, Ireland in 75 days.
Aleksander Doba had at least one important advantage when his time came to conquer the sea. He was part of an established tradition. Therefore, he had the opportunity to learn from the adventures and misadventures of his valiant predecessors.
Andrzej Arminski designed Aleksander Doba's kayak. It is 21 feet long, 40 inches wide and equipped with solar panels. The cabin contains five months' supply of food. This includes chocolate bars and his wife's homemade plum jelly.

Not only is this woman, putatively a Christian, praising torture, but she is comparing it to a holy sacrament of the Christian faith. ...If I thought that kind of hateful declaration and abuse of the Christian religion was what conservatism stood for, I wouldn't be able to call myself a conservative.
Think, people, of the torture victim you and I call Lord.

"Pain is important" is the sixth book by azt and collects more than 300 self-portraits from 2006 to 2010.
From the preface by Peter Weiermair:
"Formally, AZT breaks new ground with this book as he now, not merely directs the dialog of images and the precisely calculated sequence, but also, superimposes and thus boosts its inherent obsessive character. His oeuvre's sole protagonist, subject as well as object, is AZT himself. With this book, he closes the most difficult stage in a painful process of searching for an identity that has lasted several years. (...) This staged otherness is part of the overall stance of an artist who has created some of the most exciting, most irritating images in the field of the contemporary portrayal of the male nude."
The book includes explicit nude contents suggested for an adult (18+) audience.
Language: english
Pages: 154, b/w and colour
azt is a gay, HIV+, italian artist. Born in 1974, he lives and works in Bologna. His interest for photography made him first develop the most narrative aspects of the medium. From 2007 he dedicates almost exclusively to portray naked men with the many male nudes series. His research starts with the statement of difference as human inestimable value and explores the most personal and erotic aspects of his subjects. Through their physical nudity, he unveils a male universe that strongly differs from rules and stereotypes imposed by fashion and mass culture. Bypassing cultural superstructures, he displays an image of personalized, intimate and strongly politicized masculinity. He produced many artist books and published his works in contemporary art magazines and catalogs. He exhibited in museums, private galleries and non-profit spaces in Europe and United States. His works are included in important european and international art collections.

Gennady Golovkin and Daniel Geale took part in trash-talk free Thursday conference call to hype their July 26 clash, which will unfold at Madison Square Garden, and be shown on HBO.
Golovkin's promoter Tom Loeffler, Geale's promoter Gary Shaw, and Golovkin's trainer AbelSanchez also too part in the call, as did Geale trainer Graham Shaw.
Loeffler took the reins from PR man Bernie Bahrmasel, and said he is psyched for the card, which also features a Mike Perez-Bryant Jennings undercard topper. He then tossed it to Shaw, who said that Shaw is an "underrated" trainer, and that Sanchez does a "great job." Shaw said Golovkin (29-0 with 26 KOs) is a "great champion" and that they respect his power. Geale (30-2 with 16 KOs), he said, has always wanted to fight Golovkin, and it was put off because they couldn't in the past lock down PPV in Australia.
Geale spoke up after Shaw, and said he is excited to fight on such a big show, in MSG. Sanchez offered introductory remarks, and said that Golovkin won't be rusty, even though he's been off since February, a long layoff for him. Then, Golovkin spoke. GGG spoke up, thanked the usual suspects--no, not Al Haymon, lol--and said that he respects Geale, and thinks it won't be an easy fight for him.
I lauded Geale for wanting this fight, and asked what he saw in GGG that made him want to fight him. He said he wants the titles, and that the only one way to do that is to fight the best and brightest. Geale, by the way, won the IBF middle title from Sebastien Sylvester in 2009, and dropped it to Darren Barker (SD12) in 2013.
Golovkin was asked what it is about Geale that impresses him. He said that Geale is a great fighter, and that he watched his last fight, against Garth Wood (in February, RTD6 win), and he came away impressed. And is Geale his toughest test, from a style standpoint? Yes, he said, without much amplification.
And does he think big foes have avoided him? "I don't think much about this," he said, but yes, he hears that it can be tough to snag dates with top fighters.
Geale was asked about a 2001 face-off, in the amateurs, between him and Golovkin. No, he didn't hit the deck in that one, but doesn't recall much about the scrap, and said both are better now. He said he's been in big fights, on big stages, before, and been the underdog, and that will help him on July 26. Geale was asked about decision losses to Barker, and Anthony Mundine. The decisions were debatable, and he said they pushed him to train harder and achieve more. "It motivated me to train harder….There's always going to be bad decisions in boxing" but you can't let that get you down, he said. Geale said his defense is usually good and that he aims to not give GGG a good target on July 26.
Asked about the Barker loss, he said it was annoying, being that he put Barker down, but he shrugged it off, and got back to the gym.
He was asked how he's prepared mentally. He said he's preparing for the toughest fight of his life. He had a fight set with Matthew Macklin, which was scrapped because Mike Perez hurt his shoulder, which forced the card it was to appear on to be cancelled. This is a nice replacement, he said.
Sanchez was asked about ranking Golovkin behind Sugar Ray Robinson and Bernard Hopkins at 160, and said to keep that ranking down the line, the boxer needs to secure the marquee fights. Sanchez said he wants GGG to dominate a guy like Geale, who has won titles, and been 12. The trainer said Gennady stayed composed, like a Marvin Hagler, after Curtis Stevens annoyed him on social media.
Sanchez was asked about Golovkin's training over the years, and his level of desire. The trainer said it's good that the boxer goes home and forgets about boxing, and that keeps him hungry. "As long as he separates the two I think he's going to be hard to deal with," he said.
Sanchez said he knows Geale is a volume puncher, who is in great shape.
Loeffler said he isn't looking past Geale, but that Miguel Cotto would be at the top of the list next for Gennady if he wins. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr is also in the mix, and unifying at 160 is also a desire. Cotto (WBC), Sam Soliman (IBF) and Peter Quillin (WBO) are other belt-holders.
Also, Loeffler said GGG would move up, or down, for a compelling PPV fight.
Loeffler said that ticket sales are tracking well, and capacity will be about 11,000, with seats open in the lower bowl, and suites.
There ya go, fight fans. Respect all around in this promotion. Hey, could Geale pull off a stunner? Talk to me, in our Forum...
Yes he could pull off a stunner, and there are many good reasons why that I won't go into here.
But, I just don't know how Geale will respond if 3G lands with power - that's the big equalizer here.
This fight will tell us everything we need to know about both guys, but I won't be surprised to see Geale expose some holes in 3G's style.
I have known Gealey since he was a strong amateur and he has always been extremely determined, successful and skillful.
When he turned pro, unlike a lot of fighters, particularly in Australia, he didn't loose the amateur skills that matter.
Upon joining up to some of the more credible gyms in Australia's homeland (Daniel is from Tasmania) that already housed proven and tough professional fighters, he raised his game and went to better some of them (that have taken guys like Migel Cotto {in his prime} to very close decisions) in the international boxing scene.
I don't see Geale pulling off a stunner but he is a good fighter and I guess you never know in this sport. I do think at the very least he will have his moments and make this a fun fight to watch for the fans.
I do like how this promotion has been run so far and how respectful the two combatants are of each other. This fight will do excellent ratings on HBO and appears to be selling a lot of tickets as well at the Garden. Just shows that there is not a need for theatrics or respectfulness between the camps in the sport to sell a fight. If its a good fight, the fans will be watching and attending.
I have been reading a lot of good things about Geale over the last month especially by Tom L. of K2 promotions and Able Sanchez. Its almost like how people speak good of the dead at a funeral. Im looking forward to seeing GGG back in the ring. I hope Quillin is next.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

After a frenzied Air New Zealand Fashion Week, I was desperate for my chosen forms of relaxation: shopping and pigging out. The lovely and amazing Carlee, who was my VIP host for the event, managed to coax me out of my 'Heavenly Bed' at the Westin Hotel (no, really, that's what it's called) to tour Ponsonby Road, a quaint, yet hip stretch of shops, bars and restaurants. My highlights are as follows – although, for the ultimate post-show stress relief, you could always make like another journalist I met and bungee jump off the Sky Tower.
-GPK Restaurant: We stopped here for brunch, where we indulged in the puffiest stacks of pancakes and Eggs Benedict known to man. (262 Ponsonby Road, Ponsonby, Auckland, p: 09 360 1113)
-Prego: According to several in-the-know Aucklanders, this is THE restaurant of the moment. I never made it, thanks to an (admittedly tacky) preference for free champagne and canapés – but totally trust their judgment. (226 Ponsonby Road, Ponsonby, Auckland 1011, p: 09 376 3095)
BARS:?-Bonita: This rustic wine and tapas bar is my idea of perfection: small, intimate, oozing with Spanish charm (but sadly, no Spanish boys). (242 Ponsonby Road, Ponsonby, Auckland, p: 09 376 5670)
-Miss Crabb: While the offerings on the runways veered towards the commercial, Miss Crabb is a deliciously avant-garde breath of fresh air with a brash London edge. (41 Ponsonby Road, Ponsonby, Auckland, p: 09 361 3322)
-Zambesi: Not only does the shop carry its namesake line, but also those of Nom*D, Martin Margiela and Rick Owens. (169 Ponsonby Road, Ponsonby, Auckland, p: 09 360 7391)
HOTELS:?-Mollie's Hotel: A bit further afield from Ponsonby, another international journalist took a room here after the shows – it's a romantic, yet ultra stylish boutique hotel. (6 Tweed Street, St. Mary's Bay, Auckland, p: 09 376 3489)

If I am a Positive atheist, I do not have any morals set in stone correct?
We don't allege that a god wrote our morals in stone with his fingertip, but we do have morals which answer to the metaphorical description of being "set in stone."
Please stop lying about us. This is pure bigotry.
I see your multi-color symbol on the bottom of your web page, I assume, you are Gay or Lesbians.
I am straight as an arrow, and I am the sole proprietor of Positive Atheism. There are no known symbols on our webpage. The rulebow.gif was made with a licensed copy of PaintShopPro, and it looks neat (better than the <HR> code that I formerly used).
Nevertheless, I have no argument with gays or lesbians: I wish them well and advocate that we all live in peace. This is a good thing because the neighborhood I live in is dominated by lesbians, most of the boys and girls I grew up with are now gays and lesbians, and almost all the bars I go to are either predominantly gay and lesbian or predominantly Asian or predominantly both.
If I were a bigot like yourself, I couldn't live with myself.
One moral that I have set in stone is not to be a bigot, not to lump
individuals into a group and then to judge individuals based upon their
affiliation with that group. Just because I go to a Chinese bar and am
one of two whites in a crowded room doesn't make me Chinese or give me
the any of the characteristics one would be tempted to associate with being
Sense I can do as I say, and say as I do, and their is no right or wrong, I think Gay and Lesbians should have been Hitler's first choice.
If your religion allows you to act as if there is no right or wrong, then I condemn your religion as useless toward promoting morality.
I have already noted (elsewhere) that Hitler was a devout Christian, and that he used Bible verses and the writings of Martin Luther to justify his crimes against humanity and his crimes against the notion of the Christian god. By calling yourself a Christian and then defending Hitler's crimes, you commit the same crime against the notion of the Christian god that Hitler did.
Your behavior, sent to us as an example of Christian morality, makes
me that much happier that I am an atheist, and gives me one fewer reason
for becoming a Christian. However, I won't judge any other Christians based
on your behavior. I judge you. I also condemn Christianity as a failure
at making people moral because you are a Christian and you exhibit patently
immoral behavior. Christianity is impotent toward making good people, and
you are an example in this case against Christianity.
There is a God, and you will find out when you have to stand in front of him and answer for this absurd, and disgusting web site.
There isn't. I won't. Don't worry.
(The above paragraph is not my belief, I pray God will forgive me for writing it)
Why did you send it in the first place, if you knew, beforehand, that you would seek forgiveness for sending it? What kind of morality is that?
Are you saying that you can do whatever dispicable deed you wish, as long as you have an out with God in the form of forgiveness?
What ever happened to doing things because they are the right things
to do, and refraining from doing things because they are the wrong things
to do? Didn't your mother teach you anything? (Or don't you believe in
your mother?)
Get real, I and my prayer group will pray for all of you.
For dignity's sake, please leave us out of your sick delusions.
JOS 24:15 (look it up
|[Joshua 24:15: "And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."]
Some choice: either (1) serve primative volcano gods or (2) serve primative volcano gods or (3) serve primative volcano gods.
I choose to serve no gods.
I choose to serve no gods because I see no reason to believe that any gods exist.
I now have one more reason to believe that the Christian god is fable
and falsehood: if he were real, I might see honorable behavior displayed
in his followers. But I see your dispicable behavior, and this doesn't
look very good for the claim that the Christian god both exists and can turn his followers into moral people. I'm still waiting
for someone to convince me, either through reasoned argument or by showing
me (such as proving to me that a particular god can and does make people
May God have mercy on your soles.
Thank you for your kind sentiments. The bottoms of my feet have been ravaged by disease, and walking is difficult and often painful. I could use some help in that respect, but I doubt that your sentiments will help me, and I know that your god cannot help me. Nevertheless, your touchy-feely sentiments here are a refreshing break from the vitriol that is the rest of your letter to our magazine.

Non-Euclidian Geometry
Proves Pascal's Wager

The first paragraph is quoted from Cliff's response to our Forum piece, "Why Not Take Pascal's Wager?" However, rather than simply copying and pasting it from the web page to the e-mail, this one shows evidence of having made at least a few rounds on an e-list or two (note the greater-than signs to the left, as well as more greater-than signs mixed into the text: this one has been around the block a few times!). We have retained its original look with line-break codes.

If we look at your overall meaning in a logical context then the positive form of your proposition looks a little like this.
If it can be proven (correct), then it should be believed. (If P then B)
Your claim is: It can't be proven./It can be proven incorrect. (Not P)
Your conclusion is: The bible should not be believed. (Not B)
Is that the gist? This arguement is equally as flawed as your opposition. You listed a number of 'facts' the bible gives only to shoot them down and then claim victory. This is illogical and incorrect. Put a little less plainly, this is the Fallacy of Denying the Antecedent.
Let us roleplay for a minute. Let's pretend you are Euclid and I am not. If I were to tell you that I can make a triangle whose interior angles total greater than 180 degrees, what would be your response? Just because you can prove it otherwise doesn't make certain facts false. I will calrify just in case. Yes there are triangles that total more than 180 degrees. Any combo of longitudes and lattitudes will make more than 180 degrees. Does proving one make the other false. Of course not. However, given then name, Non-Euclidian Geometry, one could assume that he never studied this branch of mathmatics and would call me wrong.
Lastly, speaking of facts, you know for a fact that "all life forms evolved from a single parent organism"? Is this not equivalent to knowing the big bang happened as well? How is it you know either of these things happened? Are you a chemist/astro-physicist/botanist? I would wonder and awe at your annual labratory budget. My point is this: you came to 'know' all life came from a single cell organism from them very same means that you claim to abhor--reading, listening, and the f-word...Faith. You took it on faith that what you were reading was true since it was from creditable sources, correct? What your collegues were saying was true because they are honorable men. Haven't scientific journals been incorrect? Are newspapers always forthcoming? I would bet your friend has lied at least 10 times during the course of the years. Are no sources of information to be believed? The last I heard both single-cell-based evolution and the big bang theory were were just that...theories...myths if you like. Neither have been proven, evidence has just crossed the threshold of promising.
Just to illustrate my point and because I like that you brought up math; it should be 3.1415926535 ... :1 (if you're rounding, then last digit should be a six). Maybe I'll go along with your logic and disbelieve you too.

If I did publish a magazine that touted logic advice in its FAQ, I would hate to be guilty of the very first fallacy taught in logic classes.
I publish a magazine that not only touts logic but also holds truthfulness as the highest ethic. And I assure you that not only do I do everything within my ability to maintain those standards, but think that I have, indeed, maintained those standards on the page in question. Why our fourth grade teacher taught us that pi equals 3.1415926534... is beyond me, but after she demonstrated to us how to calculate it that far, I responded in good faith by memorizing that number. And why so many web sites currently list that very number in reference to the value of pi also escapes me, but soon after that point I lost all interest in anything mathematical (this perhaps having more than a little to do with the fact that she was the same instructor who held me after class one afternoon for refusing to even move my lips during the morning prayer).
So, I regret that I'm not qualified to even comment on that error (or whether it is, indeed, an error, or even whether there was something "non-Euclidean" about the logic you used in conjunction with that remark).
I also refrain from writing to other web sites and telling them how to run their operations. This is a personal decision on my part because I would never want to put myself in the embarrassing situation of having thought that I know something about their operation or their motives that I'd later discover might have been an error on my part. I don't really care about my image -- how I seem or appear to others -- only what I am: and I certainly wouldn't want to end up being an ass -- especially when it regards somebody else's business and not my own.
Neither would I want to suffer the embarrassment of having told some operation that they were "guilty of the very first fallacy taught in logic classes" unless, of course, I could do two things: First, I would want to be able to show, conclusively, that this was the case, and secondly, I would want to be able to defend the entire document with which I made such an accusation against not only similar charges but also other accusations of dishonesty -- intellectual or otherwise.
Ah, but even if I did make the monumental lapse of not only falsely accusing somebody with whom I have nothing to do and no interest in their success or failure of being "guilty of the very first fallacy taught in logic classes" without having shown (or being able to defend) this accusation plus having made other false statements within the same document (which, as I said, I try with extraordinary effort not to do) -- but, if I did commit such a lapse, I would at least use a spell-checker on the document before I sent it off.
But I will admit that even I might not have been clever enough to remove all of the telltale signs suggesting that mine was a group effort -- if, indeed, this was the case. For example, if I were to include, in my tirade, statements or claims which reveal a certain level of education, I admit that I might not have the foresight to avoid including other statements which contain mistakes which someone of that same level of education can be expected never to make (but are mistakes that people with a much lesser level of education have been known to make numerous times during discussions of this nature). No, I don't know that even I could keep track of covering up my deception to that extent. This is one of the reasons why I go to such great lengths in my efforts to avoid trying to deceive people in the first place. Nevertheless, I think that even I would know enough to at least clean up the telltale marks which reveal that a certain block of text has been forwarded more than once through various e-mail systems.
It is in these respects that I think you and I differ.
With such a drastic difference in basic moral values, I would certainly appreciate not having to deal with you or anybody else who may have been involved in this project.
Have a nice life. As far as I can tell, it's the only one I get. For this reason, I try to mind my own business. But if the compulsion to stick my nose into the business of others should overwhelm, I predict that I would at least make what I think would be a noble effort -- going much further than most people would probably consider even necessary -- to make sure that I do not wrongly or falsely accuse those into whose business I have inserted my already crepuscular schnozzle, on documents that contain what end up being such simple innocent errors to have rectified and that contain deceptions that appear to be so utterly pointless (again, not that I would try to deceive at all, but I'd hope that any deceiver would at least try to get something from the effort or do something with the effort!).

The Storage Areas
Microfilming and imaging
Certain records have been microfilmed and/or digitally imaged for preservation or access purposes. The Archives participated in a cooperative project with the Genealogical Society of Utah in which mutually agreed upon records were prepared by the Archives and microfilmed by the Society. These were typically records with high genealogical value such as probate and divorce case files. Once the process was completed, the Archives received a security copy of the microfilm for preservation purposes. The Archives also microfilmed certain legislative records for preservation and distribution to research facilities.
Digital imaging will become a larger part of the
process in the future. Because digital images
continue to lack characteristics for long-term
archival preservation, the primary benefit is
enhanced access. More records will be imaged for
mounting on the Archives Web site so that
researchers can access the information without
having to travel to Salem or conform to business

Paddy Power: City v Wigan
- 07 March 2014 17:16
- Posted by @MCFC
All the best odds from Paddy Power ahead of the City's FA Cup clash with Wigan...
For ALL City v Wigan markets and to avail of a FREE £20 BET if you are a New Customer, please check out Paddy Power.
Manchester City's quest for further silverware continues against Wigan this weekend. City have won 8 of the last 9 meetings between the two teams, the only defeat in that run being last season's FA Cup final. Up to that game City had beaten the Latics seven times in a row without conceding a single goal, scoring thirteen of their own. The two sides met again in the Capital One Cup back in September with Pellegrini's men recording a comfortable 5-0 win at the Etihad Stadium.
City win and handicap markets
Manchester City will be a popular choice in football accumulators this weekend but at 1/7 to win in 90 minutes you'll need to bet pretty big to turn any kind of noticeable profit. A more popular single bet will be Manchester City -2 goals at 11/10 and Manchester City -3 goals at 13/5.
City to win to nil and correct score markets
City to win to nil at 4/7 is a solid bet but you might be better off taking on a couple of correct score bets. A repeat of September's 5-0 win pays out at 14/1 and is already seeing plenty of betting action. City to win 4-0 at 8/1 and 3-0 at 11/2 are also proving popular.
Goalscorer markets
Sergio Aguero had scored in eight straight games in all competitions before the Capital One Cup final and has 26 goals in 26 Manchester City appearances. He tops the market at 11/5 to score first and 4/11 to score anytime. Negredo is also a good bet at 11/5 to score first, as is Yaya Toure at 9/2 with the Ivorian midfielder scoring his 17th goal of the season in the Capital One Cup final.

The White Hart Lane outfit took a 2-1 lead in the first leg but Les Gones claimed a crucial away goal courtesy of Samuel Umtiti and are confident of qualifying for the next roundLyon boss Remi Garde is optimistic about his side's chances of progressing to the last 16 of the Europa League when they face Tottenham on Thursday evening.
Spurs go to the Stade de Gerland with a slender 2-1 first-leg lead courtesy of two brilliant free kicks at the end of each half from Gareth Bale.
But, with home advantage and an away goal thanks to Samuel Umtiti's wonder-strike at White Hart Lane, Garde believes that his team can overcome the north London club.
|Lyon are 20/1 with Coral to beat Tottenham 3-1 in the Europa League second leg
"We need to be patient. We have 90 minutes to qualify. It will be difficult but we can try to close them down and try to cut out their speed.
"To be able to qualify in front of the home fans would be exciting. We won last weekend [4-0 away to Bordeaux] so we have a better mentality now."
Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas is expecting a stern test in France but has faith in his side's ability to preserve their lead.
"We face a tough, tough team, it will be difficult for us, but we are focused," the Portuguese told reporters.
"Lyon will be up for it. They have recognised that we are good away from home and we expect a tough match. They have a lot of experience in Europe but we have confidence."

It's fitting that Eminem is planning to return to the big screen next year in the "8 Mile"-inspired boxing film "Southpaw." Because like Rocky after he was counted down and out so many times in that famous pugilist movie serial, Marshall Mathers seemed like he'd run out of gas in 2009 only to come storming all the way back, and then some, in 2010 to post one of his biggest and baddest years to date.
At a time when younger artists like Justin Bieber, Kanye West and Lady Gaga are relying on social media, a dizzying blitz of promotional appearances and concerts, and a nonstop hype machine to keep their careers stoked, Eminem's path back to the top of the musical heap was decidedly old-school: He released a great album in Recovery that emotionally connected with fans thanks to some of the most hook-heavy songs of his career while maintaining an elusive persona that kept them guessing.
"On Recovery, he was really able to tap into the emotive 2002 stuff that people loved in '8 Mile,' " said Complex Editor in Chief Noah Callahan-Bever. "And I think that the fact that he's not tech-savvy or any of that stuff really doesn't hurt him because he's able to cultivate a little bit of a mystery about himself and his comings and goings. That exclusivity creates more value to his limited presence."
While songs like mega first single "Not Afraid" and the inescapable Rihanna hookup "Love the Way You Lie" were getting wall-to-wall spins at radio, Em made only a few promotional appearances, played just a handful of dates — including the lauded Home and Home shows with Jay-Z — and managed to keep that air of inscrutability about himself while putting up the best sales figures for any album released in 2010. The less you saw of him, the more you wanted to see him.
"I think it kind of benefited because [of] the whole backstory behind the album," Julianne Escobedo Shepherd, former executive editor of The Fader, said about the drama surrounding Slim Shady's second comeback attempt after five years in drug-induced exile and 2009's so-so reception for Relapse. "And his comeback from a bad album … the whole thing with the pills, and I think it kind of lent to his mystery. There's something to be said for rappers who have a trillion Twitter followers but at the same time you kind of don't want to be able to say whatever you want to your favorite rapper. I think that he kind of kept his integrity in the way that he needed to as an older rapper."
Putting out a barrage of cameo verses has been the go-to move for up-and-comers like Drake and Nicki Minaj as a way to establish their brand. But Marshall borrowed that same new-school page and made it feel classic by being very selective about which songs he lent his voice to. And, almost without exception, every choice he made was an instant classic, from his killer verse on Drake's "Forever" to a solid duet with Lil Wayne on "Drop the World," some tasty bars on B.o.B's "Airplanes" and a nod to the new kids on the block on Nicki's "Roman's Revenge."
Most of his peers seem to believe that more is more — more endorsements, more products, more interviews, more guests on their tracks — even as Em came off as the wily veteran who picks his high-percentage shots while the rest of the squad is firing off endless jumpers.
"When Eminem went away, the feeling of like, 'Well, that whole market's going away. All those people, they're just dispersing off into the ether and no one's gonna be ready for him when he's ready to come back,' " said New York Times music critic Jon Caramanica of the excitement that greeted the rapper's return to form. "And what I think you realize this year is that all those people are like sleeper cells and all got activated. All of a sudden, 'Oh, Eminem's back. It's OK to buy his CD again. I didn't have anyone I feel like I wanted to buy for the last two or three years; now I feel like I can commit to Eminem.' "
What also became clear this year, Caramanica said, is that unlike flash-in-the-pan pop rappers or mainstream acts whose audiences don't grow with them as they mature, Eminem's fans have been loyal, even as he's picked up a whole new generation of followers thanks to his more accessible new songs. The evidence of that trend can be seen in the fact that, months after its release, Recovery was still routinely hanging around the top 20, if not top 10, on the Billboard albums chart, an indication that new fans were being brought onboard every week.
That slow and steady, measured approach clearly paid off, as Em won two VMAs (off of eight nominations) in September and ended the year by loading up with a leading 10 Grammy nominations and a #2 spot on MTV News' Man of the Year countdown. You can be sure when the Grammys are handed out in February, Marshall's name will be mentioned a few times, because if there's anything the Recording Academy (and, let's face it, all of America) loves, it's a comeback.
What did you think of Em's 2010? Let us know in the comments!

Dolly sheep protest against patents on life at office for European patents.
Patents are government guarantees that provide an inventor with exclusive rights to use, sell or manufacture an invention for a set period of time. A patent is usually granted for 20 years.
Patents should be granted only to human inventions, not discoveries. Existing living organisms - plants and animals as well as their genes - are no-one's invention and should therefore never be patented and put under private control.
However, over the past decades patents on plants and animals as well as genes and parts of human bodies have been repeatedly granted by the patent offices of industrialised countries.
Patenting of GE organisms allows industry to take control of and exploit common organisms and genetic material as exclusive private property that can be sold to or withheld from farmers, breeders, scientists and doctors. Technology agreements and fees on seeds, facilitated by patents, deprive farmers of their generations-old right to freely replant and exchange their seeds.
Vast, unsubstantiated patent claims on DNA also deter scientists from research in areas that have already been claimed by big companies with large legal budgets.
Until recently, it was not possible to patent living organisms, which were always regarded as discoveries of nature and therefore unpatentable. In 1980, however, this all changed. In the landmark case of Diamond versus Chakrabarty, the US Supreme Court ruled that a living organism, a bacterium that could digest oil, could be patented.
Chief Justice Warren Burger declared that the "relevant distinction is not between animate and inanimate things but whether living products could be seen as human-made inventions". This extraordinary decision by the US Supreme Court heralded a new era in which living organisms could be patented, and paved the way for the enclosure of the biological commons.
Once a shared heritage, the gene pool of plants, animals and humans was now a commodity waiting to be bought and sold.
In what the industry calls 'bioprospecting' and others call 'biopiracy' scouts are sent to remote tropical areas to seek out valuable organisms or plants, often drawing upon the wisdom of indigenous peoples.
They then take samples back to laboratories where they isolate active ingredients or genetic sequences and patent them as their own inventions. Traditional knowledge systems and the people who have cultivated biodiversity over thousands of years count for less in patent law than routine laboratory procedures.
Communities could now end up having to pay multinational corporations for the right to use something that was previously part of their legacy.
Greenpeace opposes all patents on genes, plants, humans and parts of the human body and regards the biodiversity of this planet the common heritage of humankind.

THE RUNDOWN: Oregon State returns 75 percent of its scoring in the form of seven letterwinners in 2013-14, including its top three individual offensive performers from a season ago in sophomore Jamie Weisner (12.5 ppg), junior Ali Gibson (9.1 ppg) and senior Alyssa Martin (7.2 ppg) ... OSU finished 11th in the nation in blocks in 2012-13, averaging 5.5 a game, and was the only team in the country that had seven different players with at least 10 ... The Beavers' .346 field goal percentage defense was second in the Pac-12, 16th in the country and a new school record ... Beaver freshmen were responsible for 46 percent of the team's scoring, the third-highest ratio in program history ... Jamie Weisner (12.5 ppg) and Deven Hunter (6.1 rpg) produced only the third season in program history with freshmen leading in points and rebounds ... Weisner was second in the conference with a .372 3-point field goal percentage ... She was also only the fifth Beaver freshman, and first in 20 years, to reach totals of 350 points and 150 rebounds in a season and was one of only three freshmen in the top-20 in the Pac-12 in scoring and rebounding ... Deven Hunter (189) and Weisner (184) were just the second and third Oregon State freshmen with more than 150 boards in a season in the last 20 years ... Alyssa Martin is second in the Pac-12 among active players and third all-time at OSU with 127 career three-point makes and Ali Gibson is tied for seventh with 96 ... Oregon State played eight games against ranked opponents last season, a new school record.
VERSUS THE WARRIORS: Oregon State is 1-0 all-time against Corban, winning the only other meeting between the two schools on Dec. 16, 2011 in Gill Coliseum. Alyssa Martin and Ali Gibson are the two OSU players still on the roster from that game. Martin had nine points on 4-of-8 shooting, while the freshman Gibson added four points, four rebounds and five assists in a game-high 28 minutes. Corban's leading scorer and rebounder, Tara Vanweerdhuizen, was a freshman as well for that 2011 contest and contributed two points, seven rebounds and three blocks. Corban has already played two regular-season games, losing to Great Falls (91-71) and MSU-Northern (66-48).
ONE AND NOT THE OTHER: While it's a regular-season game for Oregon State, Friday's contest will be an exhibition for Corban. Under NCAA/NAIA rules a Division II institution may count as an exhibition game a contest against a non-Division II four-year collegiate institution played between the first permissible date for practice and the first permissible contest date. That same contest may be counted as an official countable game for the Division I or III institution that the Division II school played.
SEASON-OPENING SUCCESS: Oregon State has a 31-6 all-time record in its first game of the season, winning the last 15 in a row. The Beavers last fell in an opener to San Diego State on Nov. 16, 1997 (63-56).
NOW IT COUNTS: Last Saturday, Jamie Weisner scored 19 points in the game's first eight minutes to lead the Oregon State women's basketball team to a 100-39 exhibition win over Saint Martin's. She started a perfect 8-of-8 from the floor, including 5-of-5 from deep. Her first shot off the mark came six minutes into the second half. Weisner finished with a game-high 21 points and led a group of four Oregon State players in double-figures. Alyssa Martin added 12 and Deven Hunter and Samantha Siegner chipped in 11 each.
CHALLENGING SLATE: OSU, which had the 50th toughest schedule in the nation last season, could see an uptick in that number in 2013-14. The Beavers will be playing in the Junkanoo Jam on Grand Bahama Island in November, the team's second consecutive international trip and fourth ever. At that tournament, OSU opens with preseason No. 13 Penn State. Oregon State will also play Creighton, a 2013 NCAA Tournament participant, at the Duel in the Desert in Las Vegas in December, before hosting its marquee non-conference game against Notre Dame in Gill Coliseum on Dec. 29. The Irish are currently ranked sixth in the country, have made three straight Final Four appearances and will be the first ACC women's basketball team to ever come to Gill Coliseum. It is also believed to be the first time Notre Dame will come to Corvallis to play Oregon State in any sport. In facing Penn State, Creighton and Notre Dame, the Beavers will play three tournament teams from the previous season in the non-conference portion of its schedule for the second consecutive year. Before last season, that had not happened since 2002-03.
THE GAUNTLET: Oregon State played eight games last season against nationally-ranked opponents, a new school record. The Beavers previously played seven teams in the polls during the 1981-82, 1984-85, 1989-90 and 1993-94 campaigns.
HERALDED FRESHMEN: A year after landing a recruiting class ranked as high as 17th in the nation, Rueck and his staff brought in another highly-regarded group to Corvallis in Breanna Brown, Gabriella Hanson, Kolbie Orum and Sydney Wiese. Brown and Wiese are the third and fourth top-100 recruits to choose the Beavers in the last two seasons, joining Jamie Weisner and Samantha Siegner. Brown won back-to-back state titles at Bishop O'Dowd HS in Oakland, Calif.; Hanson has spent the past three summers playing for Swedish National Teams; Orum is the fifth all-time leading scorer in British Columbia prep history; and Wiese, who scored over 2,000 points in high school, is the reigning Arizona Player of the Year.
YOUTH IS SERVED: The Beavers are one of the youngest teams in the nation in terms of collegiate experience in 2013-14 with nine underclassmen, one junior and one senior. With 10 combined letters earned among its 11-person roster, Oregon State's players each average less than one year of Division I playing experience (0.9).
MORE FOR MARTIN: Senior Alyssa Martin enters her final campaign with 858 career points and is just 142 away from becoming Oregon State's 17th career 1,000-point scorer. She has scored more than 220 points in each of her previous three seasons.
A LOOK AT THE LONG BALL: Alyssa Martin is also second in the Pac-12 among active players in 3-point field goals with 127, which is also third all-time at Oregon State. Ali Gibson isn't far behind, with 96 career makes from deep, tied for seventh in OSU history.
SO INTERNATIONAL: Oregon State had four student-athletes suit up for national squads at various age levels this summer. Playing for Canada, Jamie Weisner dominated competition at the FIBA U19 World Championship for Women in Lithuania in July, averaging 17.0 points on 54.5 percent shooting, 6.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists en route to making the All-Tournament Team. Ruth Hamblin was promoted to Canada's Senior Women's National Team for exhibition tournaments in Europe (2.3 ppg, 2.9 rpg) and China (1.6 ppg, 1.4 rpg). Gabriella Hanson led Sweden to an eighth-place finish at the FIBA U18 European Championships for Women in Croatia in August, leading her squad in rebounds (7.2), assists (2.4) and steals (2.4) per game. Ali Gibson made her international debut with the Puerto Rican National Team at an exhibition tournament in São Paulo, Brazil in mid-August.
WELCOME BACK: A couple of changes were made to Scott Rueck's staff in the offseason, beginning with the hiring of Oregon State alumna Mandy Close as an assistant coach. Close, a four-year letterwinner from 2003-06 who led her squad to three postseason appearances, had spent the past five seasons on the coaching staff at Montana State, where the Bobcats finished with a .500 record or better each year.
CAMPBELL PROMOTED: Another coaching move was made last May in the form of Mark Campbell's promotion to the position of associate head coach. Campbell has played an integral role in the development of the Beaver program under Rueck and has been the point person in helping Oregon State land a pair of top-notch recruiting classes the past two seasons, including four nationally-ranked, top-100 student-athletes. He arrived in Corvallis by way of St. Mary's College in Moraga, Calif. where he served as an assistant coach for Randy Bennett and the men's basketball program during the 2009-10 campaign, helping the Gaels reach the Sweet 16 for the first time in program history as well as tie a school record for wins in a season (28-6).
2012-13 YOUNG GUNS: The Beavers' freshman class in 2012-13, collectively ranked as high as 17th in the nation coming into the season, made an immediate impact on the court. The group - Jamie Weisner, Samantha Siegner, Ruth Hamblin, Deven Hunter, Khadidja Toure - played 42 percent of the team's minutes and was responsible for 46 percent of its scoring.
MORE YOUTH: One of the youngest teams in Oregon State history, last year's Beaver squad received some of the most production its ever had out of one of its most inexperienced groups. In the 37 seasons of OSU women's basketball, only twice had freshmen been responsible for more of the team's offense. In 1992-93, four standout freshmen including Tanja Kostic, Anette Mollerstrom and A.J. Dionne accounted for 53.4 percent of Oregon State's scoring (998-of-1,869 points). In the second year of the program in 1977-78, when half of the 14 players on the roster were freshmen, they scored 736 of the Beavers' 1,157 points (63.6 percent). Each of those classes matured to lead the Beavers to winning percentages above .600 during their sophomore campaigns. Statistics for the school's first season in 1976-77 are not available.
WEISNER & HUNTER: Jamie Weisner (12.5 ppg) and Deven Hunter (6.1 rpg) paced the Beavers in points and rebounds, respectively, a year ago. It was only the third time in the history of the program freshmen had done so. Tanja Kostic topped OSU with 18.2 ppg and 8.2 rpg in 1992-93 and Betty Collings (11.6 ppg) and Kathy Vanderstoel (10.3 rpg) split the honors in 1977-78. Hunter was the seventh freshman to lead her team in rebounding and first since 2006-07. Weisner was the fourth to do so in points, joining Alyssa Martin (2010-11), Kostic (1992-93) and Collings (1977-78).
HUNTER & WEISNER ON THE BOARDS: Deven Hunter had 189 rebounds last season, the seventh-highest total for a freshman in OSU history, while Jamie Weisner's 184 rebounds were the ninth most. Before 2012-13, just eight Beaver freshmen had more than 150 in a season and only one in the last 20 years. Judie Lomax grabbed 215 boards in 2006-07. Hunter's 6.1 rebounds per game finished 17th in the Pac-12 and Weisner's 5.9 were 20th.
FAB FROSH: Jamie Weisner had a fantastic start to her Pac-12 career, averaging 14.1 points and 6.4 rebounds in league games in 2012-13. Her conference start was highlighted by a Jan. 4 game against USC in which she scored 27 points on 11-for-21 shooting. The offensive output was OSU's best in three years and the best ever for a Beaver freshman in their first Pac-12 game. Talisa Rhea was the last player to tally more when she scored 30 against Oregon on Jan. 9, 2010. No OSU freshman has had a higher scoring effort in nearly two decades since Anette Mollerstrom poured in 28 points against Arizona St. on Feb. 27, 1993. All five of Weisner's 20+ point efforts came in conference.
PAC-12 ALL-FRESHMAN TEAMS: Last season, Jamie Weisner was selected a member of the Pac-12 All-Freshman Team by both the conference's coaches and its media. She was also named All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention by the league's coaches.
SEEING DOUBLE: Jamie Weisner led last year's team with four double-doubles and 21 games in double-figures scoring, including five games of more than 20 points. Along with Cal's Brittany Boyd and Colorado's Chucky Jeffery, Weisner was the only other pure guard in the conference to have at least four double-doubles last season.
MORE WEISNER: Jamie Weisner, averaged 12.5 points (389 total) and 5.9 rebounds (184 total) in 31 games last season, becoming just the fifth freshman in OSU history, and first since Tanja Kostic (473 points; 213 rebounds) in 1992-93, to amass totals of 350 points and 150 rebounds in a season. Natalia Mattick (503 points; 224 rebounds) in 1990-91, Kari Parriott in 1987-88 (402 points; 232 rebounds) and Brenda Arbuckle (407 points; 298 rebounds) in 1983-84 are the only other Beaver freshmen to hit those point and rebound numbers. Kostic and Parriott were named Pac-10 Freshman of the Year for their efforts, Mattick was beat out for the award by Lisa Leslie and Arbuckle wasn't eligible because Pac-10 women's basketball didn't start until 1986-87.
AND STILL MORE WEISNER: Jamie Weisner, along with Washington's Talia Walton and Oregon's Jillian Alleyne, were the only freshmen in the top 20 in both scoring and rebounding in the Pac-12. Weisner's 12.5 points per game were 14th and her 5.9 rebounds were 20th. With 54 assists and 141 field goals, Weisner played a part in 29 percent of the team's 670 buckets.
WEISNER FROM DEEP: Jamie Weisner was one of the most potent threats in the Pac-12 from deep. Her .372 3-point percentage (48-for-129) was second in the Pac-12 and a new Oregon State freshman record, besting Talisa Rhea's .370 clip (67-of-181) in 2007-08. She finished fourth all-time among OSU freshmen in single-season 3-point field goals.
FREEBIES: In addition to everything else, Jamie Weisner converted her free throws at an 80.8 percent clip (59-for-73). In league games that ratio improved to 84.8 percent (39-for-46), good for third place in the conference.
NO CHANCE: OSU, which paced the league again last year with 172, has led the Pac-12 in blocked shots the past three seasons and finished in the top 30 nationally each year. Oregon State's 5.5 blocks per game average was 11th in the nation and opponents took 1,881 shots, meaning one in every 11 field goal attempts was blocked by a Beaver. OSU had four games last year with 10 or more blocks (Cal Poly, Fullerton, UCLA & Oregon), something it did a team-record five times in 2011-12.
SHARING THE SWAT: OSU was the only team in the nation that boasted seven different players with at least 10 blocks in 2012-13 (Patricia Bright - 51; Ruth Hamblin - 32; Alyssa Martin - 21; Samantha Siegner - 20; Deven Hunter - 13; ShaKiana Edwards-Teasley - 11; Ali Gibson - 11). Arkansas-Little Rock and La Salle were the only schools featuring six players in double digits in rejections.
DRASTIC DEFENSE: OSU finished second in the league in field goal percentage defense (.346) and 16th the nation. Before playing Texas Tech on Dec. 21, OSU had not allowed its previous 15 opponents to shoot over 40 percent, the longest such streak in team history. Fullerton's percentage from the field on Dec. 13 (19.1) was the lowest a Beaver defense has forced since it held WSU to only 17.4 percent (12-for-69) on Dec. 28, 2001. Since 2006-07, all but one of Scott Rueck's squads has finished in the top 25 in the nation in field goal percentage defense.
DRASTIC DEFENSE II: A great defensive coach, Scott Rueck's 2012-13 Beavers were one of the school's best ever at that end of the floor. Their .346 field goal percentage defense was a new OSU record, besting 2011-12's .350, which was that year's 18th best mark in the country
CONTROLLING THE GLASS: Oregon State averaged 41.1 boards per game last season. No OSU team had averaged more than 40.0 total rebounds since the 1996-97 season (41.1). The Beavers' 61 rebounds against Sacramento State last Dec. 1 were their most since they grabbed 61 against WSU on Dec. 28, 2001.
OH SO CLOSE: Last season, Oregon State suffered eight conference losses by five points or less. The Beavers fell to USC on a last-second bucket on Jan. 4, lost by four to then #16 UCLA on Jan. 6 and fell in overtime on the road at Washington (81-77) and Washington State (76-73) on Jan. 25 and 27. OSU dropped another two-point heartbreaker to the Cougars on Feb. 15, 51-49, lost by five to Washington on Feb. 18, 49-44, and nearly upset #6 California in Berkeley on Feb. 24 (L, 58-56), before pushing No. 19 Colorado to overtime on March 3 (L, 66-63). Those eight losses, more than half of OSU's total in Pac-12 play, were by an average of 3.0 points.

The Haines Borough Assembly will meet at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 4 to evaluate the ability of police chief Gary Lowe to perform his duties and supervise the police department. The "informal administrative hearing" will not be open to the public.
The meeting will be conducted as a quasi-judicial proceeding, clerk Julie Cozzi wrote in a notice Tuesday.
Borough attorney Brooks Chandler, who will function as the meeting's hearing officer, issued a draft hearing procedure earlier this week stating the meeting would be public and Lowe would be present while the assembly interviewed members of the police department.
Chandler issued a revised hearing procedure Tuesday evening after receiving comments and concerns from borough officials and department employees about the public nature of the meeting and Lowe's presence, Mayor Stephanie Scott said.
"I have had visits from department personnel who expressed concern about feeling constrained by the public nature of the conversation. And I, myself, feel that way," Scott said.
Under the new procedure, "people will be able to testify one by one in private without the presence of anybody other than the hearing officer, Mark Earnest" and the assembly members, Scott said.
Lowe's appearance at the hearing is still mandatory, but "he will not witness the testimony," Scott said.
Sgt. Simon Ford, who is acting chief while Lowe is on administrative leave, said Lowe's presence and the public nature of the initial procedure made department employees wary of attending. The new procedure has changed some minds, he said.
"I can't speak for anybody else, but it seems like there was a renewed interest in participating in this thing knowing there was a chance to do this privately," Ford said.
According to the revised hearing procedure, a packet will be distributed to assembly members at the beginning of the hearing. It will contain a copy of Lowe's contract, a section of borough code regarding the duties of the police chief, Earnest's March 26 letter to Lowe (which put Lowe on administrative leave and told the chief he had lost the capacity to lead the department), Earnest's March 12 report to the assembly on his investigation into the complaint, Earnest's notes from interviews taken during his investigation and a copy of the original complaint.
Earnest also is required to submit a summary of "factual basis for his conclusion" that Lowe is not able to effectively lead the department. The summary does not need to be an elaborate statement, but should refer to particular examples from the interviews without disclosing the identities of sources, the document said.
Following the hearing, the assembly will issue "a formal decisional document" to be made public. This will likely occur one to two weeks after the hearing's conclusion, according to the document.
Earnest issued a press release this week stating, "It is inappropriate for me to discuss this personnel matter further in advance of the hearing. I will not have any comment on the matter in advance of the hearing.
Mayor Scott said Lowe had expressed a desire to keep all hearings public.

Conflicting reports on effects of raising minimum wage
San Diego could see wage rise to $11.50 by 2017
SAN DIEGO - Dozens of interfaith leaders rallied outside City Hall on Tuesday in support of the minimum wage in San Diego.
They prayed and then marched up to Mayor Kevin Faulconer's office, asking for his support for the increase. A representative said he was not available but would be glad to meet with them if they set up a meeting.
San Diego City Council voted to bump up the minimum wage from $9 to $11.50 in 2017. Since then, there has been a growing controversy about how the increase will affect San Diego.
"The answer is not a simple answer," said Dr. Tony Cherin, professor emeritus of finance at San Diego State University.
Cherin said change will happen, especially to small business.
"One way to keep the business model intact is to raise your prices," he said.
Businesses could also cut services. That was the case for the restaurant where Team 10 conducted the interview with Cherin.
The owner of the Brothers Family Restaurant said they are cutting hours starting next month in part due to the minimum wage increase.
Team 10 looked into several conflicting studies. The Department of Labor shows the 13 states that increased minimum wage this year saw an increase in job growth. That differs from the recent Congressional Budget Office report, which predicts raising the minimum wage to $10.10 an hour – like the White House supports – would cost half a million jobs.
"The controversy doesn't surprise me because I think in today's world, the minimum wage is practically impossible to exist on," Cherin said.
A study conducted by UC Berkeley's Labor Center looked at the city of Oakland. There is an initiative on the ballot to raise the city's minimum wage to $12.25. The study predicts business operating costs will increase slightly, but worker performance will also be improved.
There will be second reading of the ordinance in San Diego, expected later this month.
Faulconer does have the option to veto the proposal.
