Arizona Head Coach Andy Lopez: The Wildcats are coached by Andy Lopez, who is now in his 11th season with a 377-238-1 record at the school. He has guided the Wildcats to postseason competition in seven of the last nine years, including two straight NCAA regionals and highlighted by a 2004 College World Series appearance. The Wildcats have won at least 30 games in five straight years and in nine of Lopez's 10 seasons at the school. Overall, Lopez has more than 1,000 career victories, one national championship and four College World Series appearances. Lopez owns a career record of 1,064-656-7 in 30 years as a head coach, including stints at Cal State Dominguez Hills (1983-88), Pepperdine (1989-94), Florida (1995-2001) and Arizona (2002-present). Lopez led Pepperdine, Florida (twice) and Arizona to College World Series appearances. His total victories are 13th-most among active coaches and he is just one of just 45 individuals to reach 1,000 career victories.

State Farm Territorial Cup Series: Tuesday's game is the first of meetings that will help determine the winner of the baseball point between the schools in the State Farm Territorial Cup Series. Two years ago the insurance corporation sponsored the Territorial Cup Series, which counts all head-to-head sporting events between the schools (or, league-championships competition finishes in some sports). The rivalry competition series should not be confused with the actual Territorial Cup, which is the nation's oldest rivalry trophy recognized by the NCAA and is presented each fall to the winner of the football game. The University of Arizona won the 2009-10 and 2010-11 State Farm Territorial Cup Series by overall scores of 10.5 to 7.5 and 11.5 to 6.5, respectively. To date, Arizona leads 7.5 to 4.5 in 2012. Eighteen sports are part of the computation.
Watch It Live: A live web stream of Tuesday night's game will be available at www.foxsportsarizona.com. The video stream is free of charge.
UA-UCLA Recap: The Bruins handed the Wildcats their first weekend series defeat of the season, taking the second and third games by scores of 15-3 and 6-2, respectively ... UA captured a Game 1 victory, 4-3, on Friday night behind Kurt Heyer's second straight complete game ... The Cats' bats cooled off a bit, hitting just .275 in the series ... UCLA, meanwhile, found a winning combination of good hitting and pitching ... The Bruins hit .333 as a team over the three games, including 20 hits in Saturday's 12-run thumping ... Arizona put a leadoff runner on base just six times (out of 26 leadoff at-bats) in the series, while UCLA did so 13 times (.481) ... The Bruins capitalized at some key some moments, too, outscoring UA 10-5 in two-out RBI in the series ... Defensively, the Wildcats committed seven errors, including five in the Game 2 loss ... The Cats were led offensively by Seth Mejias-Brean's 6-for-12 (.500) effort that included three runs scored, while Robert Refsnyder and Alex Mejia collected four hits apiece.
First Time For Everything: For the Wildcats, it was losing a weekend series. Arizona dropped a three-game series to then-No. 17 UCLA over the weekend, snapping a string of eight-straight weekend series victories to begin the year. It was a good run for the Wildcats, who had won five straight Pac-10/12 series dating back to the end of 2011. Still, the program has won eight of nine this year and 11 of 13 dating back to the final month of last season. The Cats will try to get back to their winning ways this weekend with three games at Washington (April 20-22).
Leadoff Men: One of the decisive factors in the UA-UCLA series was getting leadoff men on base - or not getting them on base. In Game 1, Arizona's leadoff batter reached base four times, and the Wildcats scored in two of those innings en route to a 4-3 victory. Over the next two games, UA put a leadoff batter on base just twice and scored in both innings. The problem was UCLA, which only had one leadoff batter reach on Friday, was starting innings the right way on Saturday and Sunday. In Game 2, the Bruins' leadoff batter reached base in eight of the nine innings (scored five of the eight times). In Game 3, the Bruins placed the leadoff man on base four more times leading to runs scored in three innings. It's an area the Wildcats have been pretty strong all season as the club's leadoff hitters are reaching base at a .430 clip. Opposing leadoff men have reached at a .362 clip against UA pitchers.
Falling Behind: Arizona has developed a habit of falling behind early in games, something that has proven costly at times while other times simply serving as a wakeup call. Arizona has trailed at some point in 20 of its last 22 games (13-9 record) and in 25 of 35 on the season (14-11). A season ago, the Cats trailed during 38 of their 60 games played. They posted a 17-21 mark in those games. So the early returns in 2012 could indicate that the club has learned how to rally from deficits. In reality, the Wildcats would prefer to get ahead and stay ahead and put this comeback business behind them. We'll see what the future has in store.
The Tylers: The two candidates for the mid-week starting nod are likely freshman lefty Tyler Crawford (0-1, 3.97) and junior righty Tyler Hale (1-0, 3.86). Crawford made his first career start two weeks ago at Utah Valley and turned in a strong 5.2 innings with just two runs allowed despite suffering the loss. Hale, meanwhile, is a veteran that has postseason experience and 14 career starts. Crawford's success in his initial campaign has come by throwing strikes, evidenced by only two walks allowed in 11.1 innings pitched. Walks have been the fault of Hale, at times. Hale has 11 walks in 14 innings pitched this year, but also has added 16 punch-outs. Whichever arm gets the start, expect the other to be the first option out of the bullpen if or when needed.
Fearsome Foursome: Juniors Alex Mejia, Seth Mejias-Brean, Robert Refsnyder and Joey Rickard have combined to make 600 starts in 509 total games played. They have missed a combined three games in their careers, with Rickard playing in all 153 games and missing only one start. It's been a very consistent a productive group that has helped guide the Wildcats to consecutive NCAA Regional appearances. Together they have accumulated 787 base hits and 443 runs scored, hitting .332 (787-2371u) as a group.
Mejia Mania: An All-Pac-10 selection as a sophomore, shortstop Alex Mejia is turning in a sensational junior season. Mejia ranks third on the team and sixth in the Pac-12 with a .373 batting average entering this week. He is slugging .500 on the season, which is second on the team, and has been boosted by seven doubles, a triple and three home runs. The round-trippers tie for most on the team and are his first since his freshman season after he snapped a streak of 371 at-bats without a home run earlier this season. Mejia has developed from a steady bottom of the order hitter to a guy that now hits No. 3 in the lineup. In his career, Mejia boasts a .339 batting average, 103 runs scored, 196 hits and 106 RBI. Interestingly, Mejia has been even more efficient in conference games in his career, hitting .365 (93-255) with 40 runs and 37 RBI in 69 career league contests. Defensively, Mejia makes some spectacular plays on seemingly a daily basis, and his 116 assists are most in the Pac-12. Mejia was named a second team preseason All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.
SMB On a Roll: Seth Mejias-Brean is turning in his best season as a Wildcat in 2012. Mejias-Brean, who has made 146 starts at third base as a Wildcat, carries a career-best and team-leading .380 batting average into this week. His 33 RBI on the season not only rank sixth among Pac-12 players, but have surpassed the 28 he collected in all of 2011. Speaking of his sophomore campaign a year ago, Mejias-Brean has continued to be one of the Wildcats most productive hitters since the end of last April. Beginning on April 30 of last year and continuing through this week, Mejias-Brean is hitting a robust .393 (77-196) with 32 runs scored and 45 RBI over the course of 54 games. He recently had a 21-game hitting streak snapped, but has still hit safely in 47 of the last 54 games dating back to 2011. In his career, Mejias-Brean is a .329 hitter with 95 runs and 92 RBI.
UA's Iron Man: Junior centerfielder Joey Rickard has played in all 153 games of his Wildcat career, including 152 starts. That's 153 straight games played for Rickard, which puts him No. 8 in school history for consecutive games played. Provided he stays healthy and in the lineup, Rickard can move into the top-five by season's end. It's an impressive feat for a guy that has been UA's table-setter at the top of the order and one asked to roam the spacious outfields at Kindall/Sancet and Hi Corbett Field in his career. He's hitting .340 this season with 11 doubles and 29 runs scored, which has improved his career average to .334. He has 47 extra base hits (30 2B, 5 3B and 12 HR), 125 runs scored and 105 RBI. He has 212 career base hits and 37 stolen bases.
Rev'd Up Ref: Junior right fielder Robert Refsnyder is turning in a strong junior campaign after being named an All-Pac-10 player a year ago. Refsnyder, who has homered in three of the last eight games, is second on the club in overall batting average (.375, fifth-highest in Pac-12), while his .559 slugging percentage is tops on the team thanks to a team-leading 16 extra base hits. Refsnyder has walked 14 times and been hit by a pitch 10 other times, boosting his on-base percentage to a team-high .466, which is fifth-best in the Pac-12. In addition, he's scored 31 runs and added 36 RBI, while stealing a team-high nine bases. He's been the guy to have at the plate in key situations, hitting .519 with runners in scoring position. In his three-year career, Refsnyder has an impressive .341 batting average, 120 runs scored, 131 RBI and 55 extra base hits (32 2B, 12 3B, 11 HR).
Field Days: Johnny Field has bounced back nicely from a hitting slump that dropped his batting average below .300 a couple weeks ago. Field was mired in a 7-for-49 (.143) slump over a 13-game stretch before a road trip to the state of Utah where he led the Wildcats with a .556 average (10-for-18) in four games and collecting a pair of doubles and scored six runs. He followed that up with three hits in 11 at bats against UCLA, and his batting average has ow raised from a season-low .294 all the way to its current .328 clip. On the season, Field has scored 36 runs, which is second only to UCLA's Beau Amaral in the Pac-12. He has also drawn a league-leading 26 walks to give him a .447 on-base percentage, which is seventh-best in the conference.
Brown Delivers: Bobby Brown has started each of the last 12 games at designated hitter, a move that has paid dividends for Brown and the Wildcats. The senior has built an 11-game hitting streak that was snapped on Sunday. Even so, over the last 12 contests he is batting a robust 18-for-48 (.375) with nine runs scored and 14 runs batted in. His three doubles, two triples and first career home run have boasted his slugging percentage to a team-leading .583 clip in the 12-game span. Brown's batting average has raised nearly 100 points over the 12 games, going from .211 to its current .302 mark. On the season, Brown has made 20 starts and played in 25 games. He has nearly as many RBI (25) as base hits (26) on the season. His 25 runs batted in have also surpassed his career tally of 23 that he carried into the 2012 campaign.
Out of the Gates: In recent seasons, Arizona has been known as a fast-starting team. Just look at the 2011 season when the Wildcats outscored opponents a cumulative 42-18 in the first inning of games. Or look at 2010 when the margin was 48-30. This year, surprisingly, the Cats have been outscored 26-24 in the opening inning of ballgames. It's part of the reason UA has fallen behind in 20 of their last 22 games, and is something the Wildcats would like to turn around. As a team, UA is hitting .319 in the first inning of games, which is below average for all innings. Opponents, meanwhile, are batting .319 in the first inning off UA pitching, which is the only inning in which there is a cumulative .300 or better average.
Home at Hi Corbett: Arizona's decision to move its home venue off campus to historic Hi Corbett Field has paid dividends this season, none bigger than its home showdown with No. 2 Stanford (March 30 - April 1). A crowd of 4,191 turned out for the series opener on Friday, the largest home attendance for the Cats in over four years. More than 3,500 showed up on Saturday and another 2,900-plus cheered the Cats on to a sweep on Sunday. Over the three games, a total of 10,656 passed through the gates, which marked the first time UA surpassed 10,000 fans for a three-game series in two decades. The last time it happened was May 15-17, 1992, when the Wildcats closed out the regular season with a three-game sweep of Arizona State in front of a combined 13,466 at Sancet Field. That was also the last season Arizona hosted an NCAA regional. On the year, the Cats have drawn 57,889 fans in 26 games (avg. 2,226), a significant increase over the 36,412 fans at 33 home games (1,103 per game) a season ago.
Defensive Woes: Errors are one thing Arizona wants to limit in the second half of the conference season. In 35 games, the Cats have committed 59 errors. In 60 games in 2011, the club committed only 56 all season long. A year ago, UA's 0.976 fielding percentage ranked No. 14 in the nation. The team enters this week with a .958 fielding percentage that is second-to-last in the Pac-12. It should also be noted, however, that the Wildcats have played some spectacular defense at times, notably on the left side of the infield. Third baseman Seth Mejias-Brean and shortstop Alex Mejia have 12 errors apiece, but they've turned in just as many highlight-reel caliber plays to rob base bits. They've each accrued a few errors, too, on throws after impressive plays. Along with the two upper classmen, freshmen catcher Riley Moore and freshman second baseman Trent Gilbert each have combined for 15 errors, some of which can certainly be attributed to youthful mistakes. If the Wildcats can clean up some play here and there, they have the makings for a strong defensive club like they were a year ago.
From Start To Finish: Baseball is a nine-inning game (usually), but the early returns on this year's Arizona baseball team show that scoring first can make all the difference. Consider that the Wildcats are 12-4 when scoring first in a game, while seven of their 11 losses have come in games when the opponent scores first. One of the indicators has been first-inning runs. The Cardinal and Navy is 9-3 when scoring in the first inning this year, though opponents have edged the Cats 26-24 in first-inning scoring. In 2011, the Cats were a quick-starting club that outscored foes 42-18 in the initial frame over the course of the season and posted a mark of 23-7 when scoring first.
Alive With Five: Five runs seems to be a pretty good breaking point for success for the Wildcats. In 2012, Arizona is 20-3 when it scores five or more runs in a game, while it has struggled to a 4-8 mark when it fails to score at least five runs. Conversely, the same holds true for opponents. When the Wildcats have held opponents under five runs, they are 15-0. When opponents score five runs or more, UA has struggled at to a 9-11 clip.
Ranked Foes: Arizona has played nine of its last 13 games against ranked teams, and has a 6-3 record in those contests. To date, the Wildcats have played 11 games against teams ranked in the Baseball America Top 25 Poll at the time of the game (7-4 record). The Wildcats split two at No. 8 Rice (3/13-15), before winning a road series at No. 19 Oregon State (3/23-25). Arizona then went home and swept three games from No. 2 Stanford (3/30-4/1) at Hi Corbett Field. Last week, UA lost its first series of the season by dropping two-of-three to then-No. 17 UCLA. Home games against No. 8 Oregon and five total clashes with No. 20 Arizona State remain on the schedule.
Closing the Deal: Under Andy Lopez, the Wildcats have been dominant in games when they have had a lead late in games. In fact, the Wildcats are 281-26-1 (.912) in the last 308 games when they have a lead after the sixth inning. That covers the last nine full seasons of Lopez's teams that have won at a 91-percent clip in such games. Certainly it has helped having Major League arms in the bullpen. Consider that three players - Mark Melancon, Daniel Schlereth and Ryan Perry - have reached the big leagues in recent years, and another - Cory Burns - may get a chance this season with the San Diego Padres. In 2011, Arizona was 31-4 when leading after six innings. So far in 2012, the Wildcats are 19-2 in such games.
Heyer Standards: Junior Kurt Heyer is in his third season as the Friday starter for the Wildcats. He is a two-time All-Pac-10 honoree and has been tabbed as preseason third-team All-American by Collegiate Baseball and is on the preseason watch list for the Golden Spikes Award. As a sophomore, Heyer tied for the most starts in the nation (20) and ranked fourth nationally with 134 strikeouts. The 6-foot-2 right-hander tallied double-digit strikeouts six times in 2011, and has done so 11 times in his career. In 2012, Heyer is 6-1 with a 2.09 ERA and 57 strikeouts in 69.0 IP, including three complete games.
Heyer Rings `Em Up: Kurt Heyer matched his career high set during his freshman season with 14 strikeouts against Harvard on March 2 and now has 57 on the season. In his career, Heyer has exactly 300 strikeouts, which is believed to be the most in the nation for active pitchers (research courtesy Troy Prendergast at Troy University). Heyer's 300 strikeouts are tied for 8th-most in program history with Rich Hinton(1967-69). Two pretty big names - Lance Dickson (304) and Joe Magrane (307) loom in the 7th and 6th spots. Heyer, from Huntington Beach, Calif., has made 45 starts in his career, which is tied with Lance Dickson for eighth-most in program history. He boasts a 21-10 record and a 2.62 ERA with just 65 walks in 309.1 innings pitched in his career.
`K'onner Wade: Sophomore RHP Konner Wade has settled nicely into his role as the team's No. 2 starter. Wade has been effectively wild at times in 2012, evidenced by 25 walks and 13 hit batsmen in 63.2 innings of work. At the same time, he's struck out 59 batters (3rd in the Pac-12) and limited foes to a .233 batting average. The 59 strikeouts lead the club, which is a bit surprising since he racked up just 28 strikeouts in 61.2 innings as a freshman. Wade, whose career high was seven punch-outs entering the season, shattered the previous mark with 13 in his season debut against North Dakota State on Feb. 18. He followed that up with another 10 strikeouts a week later against Auburn on Feb. 25 and 10 more versus Harvard on March 3. He spent last summer in the Cape Cod League, where he became a Cape Cod League All-Star mostly as a closer. He's remained a starter at Arizona, a role he has thrived in for the most part. In his career as a starter (6-1, 17 career starts), Wade has thrown 103.2 innings with a 3.29 ERA (38 ER). He was named Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week on April 2 following a complete-game three-hitter he pitched to clinch UA's series victory over Stanford on March 31. Wade suffered his first collegiate pitching loss last Saturday against UCLA.
On Deck: Arizona begins the second half of its Pac-12 slate on the road this weekend in Seattle, Wash. The Wildcats take on the Washington Huskies at Husky Ballpark April 20-22. Thereafter, Arizona gets its Pac-12 open week and will host East Tennessee State at Hi Corbett Field for three games April 27-29.

Let's Get Physical
You know that gym membership you're paying for but not using? Why not use that cash to purchase some new work-out accessories instead? Something shiny and new will put a pep in your step, renew your vow that you will NOT gain any weight this winter and maybe get you out the door more often. Though little can make exercise any more desirable, these items may, at least, make it considerably more convenient, stylish and fun.

Article II. Prehearing Procedures
Rule 7: Rights During Detention.
(a) Visitation, Telephone Calls, Mail. When a child is confined to a detention facility, unless the court specifically directs otherwise due to involvement in the case or other appropriate reason, parents, guardian, or custodians shall be allowed daily visitation unless provided otherwise by local rule. Attorneys may visit children whom they represent, and members of the clergy may visit at the request of children or their parents or guardians. A child shall have such access to a telephone and the mails as the court may prescribe considering the circumstances of the case.
(b) Visiting Hours. The court may regulate visiting hours, or the person in charge of the detention facility may prescribe visiting hours and conditions with the approval of the court.
(c) Punishment. Neither detention attendants nor any other person shall administer corporal punishment to a child in detention.
(d) Interrogation. Intimidative or coercive methods shall never be used in questioning children. If feasible, a parent or guardian should be present during questioning. In any event, no child having been placed in and present in a detention facility shall be interrogated concerning an alleged violation of law unless the child intelligently waives in writing the right to remain silent.
(e) Interviews. Unauthorized persons shall not be allowed to interview a child in detention and designated court personnel may interview such children only concerning social data.
Advisory Commission Comments.
Rule 7 refers only to secure detention facilities, not to nonsecure shelter care and other facilities; however, similar rules would not necessarily be inappropriate for such facilities.Back to Top

My Lecturer put it as a corollary of the theorem $\Gamma (z) \Gamma (1-z) = \pi/ \sin (\pi z) $. So how do I prove $| \Gamma (iy) | = \sqrt{ \pi / y \sinh (\pi y) } $ how to prove it? from the above theorem? Could you give me some hints? Thanks.

For real $y$ we have $\Gamma(-iy)=\overline{\Gamma(iy)}$. On the other hand, $\Gamma(1-iy)=-iy\,\Gamma(-iy)$, hence (by $\Gamma (z) \Gamma (1-z) = \pi/ \sin (\pi z) $) we get $\pi/ \sin (\pi iy)=-\Gamma(iy)\,iy\,\Gamma(-iy)=iy|\Gamma(iy)|^2$. Finally, $\sin (\pi iy)=i\sinh(\pi y)$. We get
$$|\Gamma(iy)|=\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{y \sinh (\pi y)}}$$
(notice that it is not the formula you wrote, there is one more $y$).

By industry association figures, it costs $10,000 to $12,000 per space to build a new multi-level garage. Even more staggering is the estimated annual cost of $650 per space to simply operate the structure, including lighting, cleaning, employees, elevators, and gate equipment.

The extended range Nike Zeus was first tested in ASAT mode from White Sands against a point in space in December 1962. After several tests with good results, McNamara authorized the Army to complete the ASAT facility at Kwajalein Atoll, including storage of the system's nuclear warheads. The system remained operational until May 1966. Nike Zeus could reach satellites up to 560 km altitude, using its 1 megaton nuclear warhead to destroy them. It was replaced by the Program 437 ASAT.

Divergent producer Pouya Shahbazian's pen name is Walter Jury. He and Sarah E. Fine wrote the young adult thriller, Scan, which is recommended for ages 12 and up. This action-packed book is about a 16-year-old boy named Tate, his father's secret invention, and aliens on Earth who look like humans.
Thirty-six-year-old Pouya was born in London. When he was less than one-month-old, he moved with his mother and father to the United States. After attending law school, Pouya decided to move to Los Angeles and pursue a career in the entertainment industry. Pouya is creative, and has experience working through story development and problem solving. He was named to The Hollywood Reporter's Next Gen 2013 list. In the future, Pouya plans to continue working as a manager of film rights and be a producer on big budget studio movies.
Pouya and his wife have two sons. He enjoys traveling and watching professional sports. He also binge watches TV shows and studies his favorite films. Scan is Pouya's first book for teens. His agent and Sarah's agent put them together to write this science fiction series.
Sarah is a best-selling author. Pouya described Sarah as, "a rock star" who is, "a spectacular writer and a wonderful collaborator." He said, "I am lucky to have her by my side in this journey." In addition to writing, Sarah works as a child psychologist. She and her husband have two children.
St. Paul readers can visit Penguin.com to find out where to purchase Scan. The sequel, Burn, is scheduled to be released in 2015. Other books written by Sarah Fine are available at a St. Paul Public Library.

Hank Mobley: This I Dig of You (alternative review)
This I Dig of You
Hank Mobley (tenor sax)
Soul Station (Blue Note B2-46528)
Hank Mobley (tenor sax), Wynton Kelly (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), Art Blakey (drums).
Recorded: Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, February 7, 1960
Rating: 92/100 (learn more)
Hank Mobley
Artwork by Michael Symonds
Soul Station may sit atop Hank Mobley's impressive collection of records made for Blue Note in the 1950s and 1960s. As a member of the original Jazz Messengers from 1954, Mobley's warm and mellow tone offers something different from the more influential tenormen of the time like Sonny Rollins or John Coltrane. Maybe best described as powerfully casual, Soul Station is often overlooked despite the all-star rhythm section and superb playing by Mobley. The ascending and descending "This I Dig of You" features superb solos by Kelly, Blakey and Mobley that handle the deceptively bright tempo with ease.

Ohio Federal Conspiracy Defense Attorneys – Serving The Entire State
Former Prosecutors Can Make A Difference – FREE Consultation – 24 Hours A Day
As a former Prosecutor, Joseph Patituce truly understands the consequences and difficult road their clients have before them. Once an individual has been charged with federal crimes, typically a conspiracy charge, they face a fierce opponent in the United States Attorneys who are trying to prosecute them.
Now as a Federal Defense Attorney, Joe defends clients in Ohio and across the U.S. that have been charged with federal crimes ranging from federal drug charges to federal conspiracy charges.
If you have been charged call (440) 471-7784 for a free consultation with Joe Patituce or one of his attorneys.
Reliable Federal Defense
As Ohio Federal Defense Attorneys it is our job to aggressively defend you from federal charges: drug charges, weapons charges, white collar crimes, internet sex crimes, sex crimes, robbery charges, and a whole host of other charges.
It is important that if you have been charged with a federal crime that you contact a federal defense attorney immediately, or have someone from your family do so on your behalf because the accused individual will be prosecuted by the "A" team…. not small-town prosecutors or county prosecutors.
Contact us today at (440) 471-7784
Proven Results
As defense attorneys we have established a reputation for being aggressive, diligent, and incredibly dedicated to our clients.
We stand proudly by our reputation, and because it is impossible to hide from information on the internet, we strongly urge you to look up what other people have said about us on the internet – you will see that we have a solid reputation for getting results.
Each case is different and we offer the flexibility needed to defend you from any federal charge.
Defense with Integrity
We often hear stories, and complaints, from people who have had friends or family members go through the legal system, that they are afraid that their attorneys will just try to force a plea on them.
At Patituce & Associates we will never "sell you out" in such a way, and we will always let you make the choice of whether or not you go to trial…. or you take a plea.
We are highly experienced Ohio Federal Criminal Defense Lawyers and we promise to defend you the way we would want our family members, or even ourselves, to be defended.

Highly addictive cell phones can have negative effects
Published: Thursday, January 16, 2014 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 15, 2014 at 2:42 p.m.
Cell phones are an essential part of our lives today. Most of us cannot live without our cell phone. It is the first thing we see in the morning and the last thing we see at night. Without our phones we almost feel "naked." But do we stop to consider the many negative effects cell phone usage can cause?
There's no question that we're all overly dependent on our cell phone. But do we rely on them as a lifeline? According to a new study, the average person spends about 90 minutes a day on their phone, whether it's texting, participating on social media, playing games or just making a simple phone call. That equates to 24 full days a year. And for an average adult life, it comes out to three to four years just staring at your phone.
Whether you believe it or not, exposure to the radio frequency fields released by cell phones is generally more than a thousand times higher than that from home phones. Research has been conducted on the negative health effects of mobile phone exposure. The average cell phone user puts their phone in contact with several places where it can pick up germs. People also put themselves in potentially hazardous situations with their phones in hand. Small text and bright screens can strain cell phone users' eyes. Long hours of cell phone usage can lead to high levels of stress. Cell phones can also eventually lead to cancer. The list just goes on and on.
Now I am not telling you to stop using your cell phone forever, it's just a reminder to think before you make that text message,or spend hours and hours on social media. Cell phones really do cause many problems whether you realize it or not.

Toby Keith is famous for his country music but also for his food. Fans flock to Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill for amazing food. News came out that one location is not doing great though. If Toby isn't careful, it could end up costing him all of them.
The Syracuse, NY is in one of the world's biggest malls. The problem is that this location owes the state of New York back taxes and they total over $250,000. This is a huge restaurant that is over 20,000 square foot and even has a really cool bar in it shaped like a guitar. It has been doing well but not on remembering to pay Uncle Sam.
New York State filed a new tax warrant that is for $107,000 against the company in charges of this location for fourth quarter 2013 sales tax. There was already a warrant out for $189,000. They started paying on it but it just hasn't been enough to keep them happy. If this isn't taken care of, Toby Keith's I Love this Bar and Grill in New York could become the state's property.

Lawsuit accuses Warren Evans of violating residency rules in Wayne County CEO race
He may be in the lead for the race for Wayne County Executive, but Warren Evans is facing a new legal challenge.
Evans has been leading the crowded field in the race for Wayne County Executive. But now Tom Yack is taking the Election Commission and the County Clerk to court, saying the former Detroit Police Chief did not move back to Wayne County in enough time to qualify for the race.
"So you're saying he shouldn't be on the ballot," asked 7 Investigator Heather Catallo.
"Amen," said Yack.
Yack happens to be a Canton Township Trustee, but says he did not file this lawsuit as part of his official duties. Yack says Evans changed his address from Salem Township, which is in Washtenaw County, to Wayne County one day before the filing deadline for the CEO's race.
"The state law says if you're going to be a qualified elector, and you're going to run for one of the county-wide positions, you have to be a resident of the county 30 days prior to filing. And he wasn't. He was a resident one day before filing," said Yack.
Yack alleges that when Evans changed his address back in April, Evans said he had followed the laws of the Wayne County Charter. But Yack says he kept doing research and he now believes state election law should prevail. That's why he's asking a judge to weigh in.
"State law really should trump local law," said Yack.
If the judge won't order the Wayne County Clerk to remove Evans name from the ballot, Yack is asking that absentee ballots already cast for Evans be set aside.
Yack denies that he's working with any of Evans's Democratic opponents in the primary. He's actually a Republican who claims to have nothing against Evans personally.
"I'm a Republican, but I care about the rule of law. And whether it was a Republican or a Democrat, I'd raise the same issues. It should have been dealt with at the time of filing," said Yack.
Richard Kaufman, campaign manager for Warren Evans, issued the following statement Monday night about his candidacy:
"Warren meets all the requirements to qualify him to run in the August 5 primary for Wayne County Executive. This is a meritless, desperate challenge that is being leveled against the frontrunner. All information regarding Warren's residency in Wayne County has been known for months and they have waited until the eve of the election, after thousands of the voters have cast their ballots to make it. Wayne County residents should be offended by such backroom politics."
Another campaign representative, attorney Mark Zausmer, views the lawsuit as a "desperate attempt to challenge Mr. Evans, who's clearly recognized as a front runner." Zausmer calls the court challenge "legally and factually inadequate" and says this does nothing but disenfranchise voters.
All of the parties will be in court Thursday morning for a hearing. 7 Action News will keep you updated.
If you have any story tips for 7 Investigator Heather Catallo please call 248-827-4473 or email her: firstname.lastname@example.com

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
The Alabama rowing team heads to Chattanooga, Tenn. to compete in the Head of the Hooch on Saturday and Sunday on the Tennessee River.
"There are going to be a lot of NCAA Division I teams that are going to be at the Head of the Hooch," UA head coach Larry Davis said. "So we want to see from our lineups is are we getting the right thing from them and are we performing at a level that will keep us in the hunt come springtime."
The Head of the Hooch is one of the largest regattas worldwide, with over 2,000 boats racing in the span of two days. The intense level of competition will prepare the Tide for the tough spring season.
On Saturday, the Crimson Tide has entered two boats in both the Championship 8+ and College and Club Novice 8+ races as well as the Championship 4+ and the Championship 2x races. On Sunday, Alabama will put two boats in the Open 2- and five boats in the Open 8+ races.
Over the two days of last year's Head of the Hooch, Alabama posted nine top-20 finishes, including three in the top 10 and a bronze medal in the Open 8+.
The Chattanooga-based regatta will close out the fall portion of the UA rowing team's fall season.

Casey Donovan celebrates ten years of music
Casey Donovan celebrates her tenth anniversary since winning Australian Idol with an intimate show revisiting key moments of the past decade.
In 2004, Casey Donovan was crowned the winner of Australian Idol, thus signalling the beginning of an eventful, not to mention tumultuous, journey through show business. To mark the occasion, Casey is inviting fans for an intimate showcase celebrating the last ten years. To be held at the Basement, it will feature tracks from Casey's time on Idol as well as her debut album For You, through to music from her roles in productions such as The Sapphires and Flowerchildren.
It's been ten years since you first made your mark on Australian Idol. What goes through your mind when you look back at the last decade in showbiz?
When I look back over the last ten years, I think of all of the amazing things I have achieved in my career and all the lessons I have learnt and am so happy to still be living the dream of singing for my supper.
As a performer, what has been the most memorable highlight of the past ten years?
There have been some pretty big highlights but if I had to pick one, it would have to be supporting the one and only Cyndi Lauper during her 2011 tour. During the tour she asked me to sing 'True Colors' with her – one of my all time favourite songs! She is an amazing woman and to be asked to sing one of her biggest songs was a thrill. I will cherish that moment till the end!
Watch Casey Donovan's Where Do I Find Love?
If you could do something all over again, what would it be and why?
I believe everything happens for a reason. If you would have asked me this question many years ago I would have said everything. But I now take the good with the bad and learn from my mistakes. [I have] no regrets and just move on with whatever life has to offer.
Knowing what you know now, what piece of advice would you give 2004 Casey?
[Laughs] I'd tell her to speak up! Looking back, 16 is a very young age to be making big decisions but I wish I had spoken up more for the things I wanted or believed in, rather than sitting back and letting those decisions be made by others.
You accumulated quite a gay following. What do you want to say to your gay fans?
Thank you for always loving and supporting me through the thick and thin! Your love and support has not gone unnoticed! It's a beautiful thing to see your smiling faces in the crowd and it always warms my heart! I hope to see many of my gay friends and fans at The Basement. Please come along and say hi. I promise it will be a fun night! Here's to another ten years.
Casey Donovan's You Believed: 10th Anniversary Show is on Saturday, August 16, The Basement, Circular Quay. Tix from $28 from thebasement.com.au.

Graphene oxide improves solar cells
Graphene oxide could be ideal for use in polymer solar cells and light-emitting diodes, replacing common "hole transporting layers" like semiconducting PEDOT:PSS. It would also allow fabrication of large-area devices on flexible substrates – something that is not possible with conventional materials.
Polymer solar cells are very promising for making inexpensive photovoltaics on flexible plastic substrates. These devices work by absorbing energy from the Sun to produce photogenerated charge carriers (electrons and holes). Because it is the electrons and holes that carry the current in such cells, a hole transporting layer is needed to improve the devices' solar power-conversion efficiencies (defined by the amount of solar radiation falling on the material divided by the delivered power that comes out).
The most commonly employed hole transporting layer in polymer solar cells is semiconducting PEDOT:PSS sandwiched between an indium tin oxide anode (ITO) and the active layer. However, the problem here is that PEDOT:PSS is usually deposited from highly acidic aqueous suspensions that corrode the ITO at high temperatures. The process can also introduce water into the active layer, which degrades device performance.
Graphene oxide thin films
To overcome these challenges, Chun-Wei Chen's group at the National Taiwan University and co-workers at Imperial College London decided to look at using graphene oxide thin films as a possible replacement for PEDOT:PSS. The graphene oxide thin films are deposited from neutral aqueous suspensions and solar cells incorporating the material show light-power conversion efficiencies that are as high as those fabricated using PEDOT:PSS.
So why is graphene oxide so good in such applications? For one, it is an insulator and acts an effective hole transporting layer, explains Chen. Its electronic band structure allows holes to effectively travel toward the electrode of the solar cell while hindering electron transport. This reduces the possibility of electron and holes recombining, which ultimately improves device performance.
"The most exciting thing in this study is that our device made of graphene oxide is as efficient as those containing PEDOT:PSS," Chen told nanotechweb.org. "What's more, contrary to other hole transporting layers made by vacuum deposition techniques, our method provides a simple solution processable method that is compatible with polymer solar cells or LEDs for large-area applications. The graphene oxide device is also more stable than the PEDOT:PS ones."
Using graphene oxide as the hole transport layer in photovoltaics means that future polymer solar-cell devices could be "all-carbon". "This could be important for future large-area and low-cost organic photovoltaics on flexible substrates," insisted Chen.
The results were reported in ACS Nano.

BBR News: A Couple of Minor Additions
Posted by Justin Kubatko on October 30, 2009
A couple of minor additions to point out:
- On the Player Season Finder, you can now choose "Advanced" as an output type. This will display all of the statistics found in the "Advanced" table found on the player pages.
- A link to the blog has been added to the Quick Index links (the links found just above the "You Are Here" line near the top of the page).
Have a nice weekend!

Best Gadget I've Bought In Years: Acer Aspire One
I've been keeping an eye on the new generation of Netbook computers for a while. A friend bought one of the OLPCs a while back and another bought an Asus EEE. I almost bought one of the early EEEs, but I wanted to hold out for a slightly larger screen. I'm glad I did.
I finally bought an Acer Aspire One recently. After about a month of using it, including two weeks of traveling, I'm loving it. It's super light, has a surprisingly decent keyboard, and even the battery life isn't too bad.
In terms of technical specs, the Aspire One has a full-width (1024×600, 8.9″) screen, 1 GB of memory, and a 120 GB hard drive. The 1.6 GHz Atom processor isn't a speed demon, but it's not nearly as sluggish as I expected, considering the price. Speaking of price, they can be found for under $400.
My old Dell Vostro 15.4″ laptop was just too heavy and bulky to lug around much. I've finally started really taking advantage of the free Wi-Fi that's available practically everywhere now. A lot of people ask me about it, when I use it in public. Several of the flight attendants talked to me about it while I was using it on the plane. There's probably a huge market for this size laptop with airline employees alone. For anyone who lives out of a suitcase, especially a carry-on, it's ideal.
There are only a few downsides I've run across, so far. The trackpad buttons are on the sides of the trackpad, rather than below it. Out of the box, that would probably be my single biggest complaint, except that I've been using a portable wireless mouse instead.
I got used to the keyboard pretty quickly, except for the Home and End keys, which require that you also hold down the function key. As a result, I'm not as quick at navigating through big documents as I am at a normal keyboard.
Finally, some applications aren't designed to work on such a short screen. The width isn't a problem, but height can be. Photoshop gave me a warning when I installed it, but it did still install; and I've been able to do what little I needed to do with it. The Windows version of the board game Ingenious installed, but the board doesn't fit on the screen, so it's basically unplayable. I suspect there may be other problem programs in the future, but those are the only two I've run into, so far.
Apparently netbooks are selling quite well. Now that I have one, I can understand why. The convenience far outweighs the downsides.

Trendy clothing brand Fat Face is in trouble with the Advertising Standards Authority over an advert showing a horse in distress.The picture in a direct mail leaflet showed a male rider yanking the horse in the mouth, with the horse's head pulled upwards and the whites of his eyes clearly visible.The leaflet was called offensive and irresponsible by 29 complainants to the ASA, because they showed the horse apparently in distress. The mailshot was also criticised by 25 of the complainants because the rider was not wearing a hat.Fat Face said the stable that supplied the horse confirmed the animal had not been hurt during the photoshoot. The company added that after consulting equine experts about the issue, it had decided not to use horses in photoshoots in future. The clothing brand, which is best known for its surf wear fashion, withdrew the mailing when it became aware of customer worries.However, last week the ASA ruled that the image was in breach of its code and likely to cause "serious offence" to some readers. It also said that the mailshot condoned unsafe practices.The ASA is not pursuing any further action against Fat face, as the company has withdrawn the advert of its own accord and apologised for any offence.

5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has obtained the taped deposition of Chris Kyle. It's the first time people have been able to see what the jury saw inside the courtroom during former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura's defamation trial against Kyle.
Ventura won the case against Kyle last week.
This clip is part of the six-hour long deposition, which was taken before Kyle's death at a Texas gun range last year.
