About the Twitter 'URL Injection' Attack
Yesterday Twitter was subject to being 'hacked' for a number of hours – see Twitter Mouseover Hack.
I don't follow very many people on Twitter and didn't directly experience this hack myself, but the way it worked was very interesting and so simple that anyone with a little experience of coding html would understand how it works – it's difficult to believe that such a large site could make such a fundamental mistake.
All the hacked tweets contained a double quote mark " near the start of the Tweet. Double quote marks should not be able to be a part of URL inputs in any CMS or back end system – because a double quote terminates the href attribute. The attack has a lot in common with an SQL injection attack.
If you imagine how tweeted links are output to the page by Twitter's back end, it would be like this:
 Link text
The tweets start with a very short URL, such as t.co (to allow room for more following characters of code), then a quote mark. This quote mark closes the href attribute shown above. After this, anything else written is handled as a html attribute of the anchor element, rather than part of the link destination.
This allowed the inclusion of css style and JavaScript (far more can be done than just mouseover and the hack was discovered at first using CSS)
(slightly simplified) hacked tweet example:
Combining this with the previous piece of code, Twitter's back end outputs a link like this:
 Link Text
Which would be rendered as big, red text:
There's far more that could be done with the hack using JavaScript, including shorthand code to redirect the user to an external site or for the tweet to be manually retweeted when it is moused over – combined with 500pt text this is hard to avoid doing, causing a viral spreading of the affected tweets. It could have been possible to allow remote execution of much bigger scripts with a jquery function.
In some cases of exploits and hacks, it's easy to blame the hackers – but in this case it's such a schoolboy error that Twitter can't really be excused for it. Things could have been much, much worse if an organised group of real hackers had discovered this vulnerability and spent some time planning a co-ordinated attack to steal twitterer's personal information (eg usernames and passwords).
This sort of exploit is something that can occur on any site that allows UGC (user generated content), if the back-end developers haven't done their testing and is something that anyone responsible for a commercial website should be aware of – as with SQL injection.

Occurrence of Giardia and Cryptosporidium in pigs on ...
|Occurrence of Giardia and Cryptosporidium in pigs on Prince Edward Island, Canada
|Ebo Budu-Amoako, Spencer J. Greenwood, Brent R. Dixon, Herman W. Barkema, Daniel Hurnik, Chelsie Estey, J. T. McClure
|Veterinary Parasitology

|In a cross-sectional study of 633 pigs from 21 herds on Prince Edward Island, Canada (PEI), the prevalence of infection with Cryptosporidium and Giardia, and the genotypes and species of isolates were determined in order to establish the zoonotic potential of pigs in this region. As determined by direct immunofluorescence microscopy (DFA), 18 herds (86%) and 163 animals (26%; 95% CI: 22–29%) tested positive for Cryptosporidium, while just 3 herds (14%) and 6 animals (1%; 95% CI: 0.4–2%) tested positive for Giardia. Cryptosporidium spp. isolates were detected in 39% (95% CI: 34–44%) of weanlings (1–3 months of age) and 9% (95% CI: 6–13) of sows (>8 months of age). Molecular characterization using the 18S rDNA and HSP70 gene fragments revealed the presence of Cryptosporidium sp. pig genotype II, C. suis, C. parvum, and Cryptosporidium sp. mouse genotype. Among the 113 isolates of Cryptosporidium spp. successfully genotyped, pig genotype II (61%) predominated, with C. suis (36%) being the next most prominant isolate. C. parvum (2%; two isolates) and Cryptosporidium sp. mouse genotype (0.9%; one isolate) were only occasionally isolated. The only two Cryptosporidium-positive genotyped isolates from sows included one each of C. suis and Cryptosporidium sp. pig genotype II. All but one of the six Giardia positive isolates were detected in weanling pigs. None of the Giardia-positive isolates was amenable to PCR. This study demonstrates that Cryptosporidium spp. are highly prevalent in pigs on PEI, Canada, are found mostly in weanlings (1–3 months of age). Furthermore, the pigs are primarily infected by the host-specific genotypes and species, Cryptosporidium sp. pig genotype II and C. suis, whereas the zoonotic C. parvum is rare. Giardia duodenalis is only occasionally found in pigs. These findings suggest that domestic pigs on PEI, Canada, likely do not pose a significant health risk to humans from these parasites.

Lets try this again:
I've built about 5 receivers from 4130/4140 sheet from McMaster Carr for myself, and bent a few blanks from this for other folks on Gunco, and have had no problems(both .040" and .050"). Not to mention all of the Tapco flats, and AK Builder flats that I have done this method on. Now mind you, I don't have thousands of rounds through any of my 25+ builds, so I don't know how long it takes for a hole to egg out, or an ejector tip to get peened into oblivion. Have there been failures of these areas from the procedure that I use? If so, I'd sure like to know and change my procedure.
I have actually been looking at some of the case hardening products, (Brownell's and Cherry Red) mainly for firing pins, but was thinking about trying it on the FCG holes as well.
I've built about 5 receivers from 4130/4140 sheet from McMaster Carr for myself
The difference is "mild steel" vs 4130/4140 (and similar steel), they need to be hardened in different ways.Quote:
Hey guys, mild steel doesn't harden from simple heating and chilling. It lacks the carbon content.
The build is looking good, I got to stop screwing around and get mine done.
Definitely gotta get yours going Coils. You gonna use that blank I bent up?? If so it should work out great. I was concerned about where the jig through bolt went, and whether it would interfere, but from what I see on mine, it should be dang near perfect.
Just trying to clear up the confusion :D
Well all the different grades of steel gets me confused, too many out there and they all have different characteristics.
Yes I was going to try using one of those blanks I got from you. Got to get some other projects (non-gun related) out of the way first.
That looks NICE!
Thanks guys!! Unfortunately some major medical bills just hit the mailbox and the project is stalled. I need to buy a couple of drum mags because the next step is to fit the mag(s) to the magwell, before fitting the magwell to the receiver. Unfortunately that aint gonna happen for awhile, unless somebody has some extras they are willing to let go real cheap. Dangit!!!!
Sorry to hear that. Can the rifle use Suomi M31 36rd 9mm stick mags? Centerfire has them for $16 each.
Suomi M31 36rd 9mm Mag
chris, i finally got together with my buddy and got you that spare beater trunnion i'll mail it out today or first thing in the morning
edit: dang that thing's itching for a galil stock lol you know turbo has the trunnions he made for an akm that take galil stocks :) they're great i bought a couple but had him narrow them down for 1.5mm receivers
Thanks Johnny. Yeah you can set it up for both drums and sticks, but it's easier to go drum only. CFS has them for $24.99.
Thanks Justin. Yeah it would be great to have a Galil trunnion/folder on there.

Tony Weichselbraun, a recent graduate from the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, has produced a few images of his personal modern reinterpretation of the legendary BMW Isetta, renamed eSetta. Probably, given the commitment to this project, the lad would have liked to see the micro-car been brought back from the past. The Isetta –a car that entered automotive history- was produced by Italian automaker Iso between 1953 and 1956 and, under license, from BMW between 1955 and 1962. Unfortunately, at the moment the German manufacturer has not intention of turning the idea into reality.

Hill and Ratcliffe Named HepsTrack Athletes of the Week
John Hill and Julia Ratcliffe of the Princeton track & field teams have been honored by HepsTrack by receiving athlete of the week honors.
Hill was named the Men's Rookie of the Week. After completing his first season as a cornerback for the football team, Hill picked up his first track victory in the 60-meter dash at the Princeton New Year's Invitational. After two false starts in the final, Hill defeated runners from Rutgers and Delaware State, finishing in 6.93. That is the best time by any Ivy freshman so far this season.
Ratcliffe was named the Women's Athlete of the Week. She posted the greatest series and best single weight throw in Ivy League history at the Princeton New Year's Invitational. Ratcliffe set a new Ivy record three times. Her second toss of 19.23 (63-1) broke the league mark of Princeton's Thanithia Billings, set in 2010 (63-0 1/4). After a foul, Ratcliffe pushed the record to 19.42 (63-8) in her fourth attempt and then 19.58 (64-3) in her fifth. Ratcliffe was fourth in the hammer throw at the World Junior Championships in Barcelona this summer. Ratcliffe was also named the GoPrincetonTigers.com Athlete of the Week.

Apple removes Java plug-in from OS X web browsers
A reaction to the Flashback Trojan
COMPUTER DESIGNER Apple has removed its own Java plugin from all Mac web browsers.
The removal is in a new update that removes plug-ins provided by Apple for Java 6 and earlier and forces users who need the Java runtime software to go out of their way to download Oracle's version independently.
"This update uninstalls the Apple-provided Java applet plug-in from all Web browsers," Apple said in a support document.
The update is aimed at Apple's Mac OS X Lion and Mountain Lion operating systems and once applied will give users visiting websites that require Java a message saying "missing plug-in".
Apple's Java update for Mac OS X Snow Leopard doesn't remove the Java runtime software, but does something different.
"On systems that have not already installed Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 9 or later, this update will configure Web browsers to not automatically run Java applets," Apple said.
The updates follow Apple's decision to stop preinstalling the Java plug-in on its Mac computers.
Apple hasn't made it clear why it is pushing Java further out of its systems, however, the move apparently is Apple's reaction to the Flashback Trojan that infected thousands of vulnerable Macs back in April. µ

My mother continuously reminds me that a diamond — the most perfect of gemstones — is made from coal, which is decomposed vegetable matter. A pearl (my particular favorite) is not, as commonly told, made from a grain of sand. A pearl is formed when something organic, most often a parasite, penetrates the shell of a mollusk and lodges within the soft inner body of the animal. The parasite encounters cells within the mollusk's mantle tissue known as epithelial cells, which grow into a sac, envelopes the intruder, and excretes a chemical substance of aragonite and calcite. This is known as nacre or the composite of a pearl.
I don't know how not to be hard on myself. I have no clue. But I have been told that there comes a time when good enough needs to be accepted. I am not to settle for only achieving good enough — that is a bar set too low for my personality and I am done with settling — however, as long as I can truthfully say that I have given my absolute best effort, then that is good enough. I cannot be all things to all people, I cannot fill everyone's needs, I cannot do everything myself — I have to ask for assistance, let go and allow someone else to help me (not ask for help then do it all myself anyway), learn from my mistakes, learn from others who have already successfully done what I want or need to do, and accept that there may be times when I can't do something. I need to learn when "No" is the perfect answer.
I need to look at my flaws and defects — the decomposed vegetable matter and parasites — as, perhaps, that which makes me unique. It is those very things that keep me from being a cookie-cutter human, a Stepford, which gives me depth and contrast, just as clouds enhance the perfection of a blue sky.
I will think on these things — remind myself of them when my perfection bug gets the best of me. That is the best I can do in this instance.
However, I was told today that I am loved for who I am, flaws and all, without reservation, without modification, without an "except for ... " How perfect is that?

The Indian State of Gujurat embodies the extremes of India, boasting one of the fastest growing economies in the country as well as an array of tribal people who continue to live much as they have for generations. The Kutch district and surrounding areas are home to an exceptional number of tribes that co-exist with each other and the modern world in a uniquely harmonious manner. Each borrows what it needs from the more developed world and tribal neighbors while practicing rituals and traditions deeply rooted in their clan's heritage. Gracious to a fault, they delight in displaying their exotic textiles, sharing tea in their homes and quizzing the visitor on the number of children one has back home. The past and present are seamless, creating a classic existence captured in these photos.

Mickey Mosher appeared in Logan Circuit Court today, Thursday, Jan. 11, 2007, for the June 2006 crash that killed two prominent Bowling Green businessmen and injured another. Before court was even over with, Mosher was back behind bars.
The crash that killed Cornelius Martin and Brooks Mitchell not only affected our community but the entire state.
A truck driven by Mickey Mosher of Warsaw, Indiana struck a group of motorcycles, killing Martin and Mitchell and injuring another rider, Bill Leachman.
Mosher tested positive for marijuana the day she hit the men and was indicted on a number of charges including two counts of wanton murder.
Mickey Mosher was released from jail in June when her family posted ten percent of her $50,000 bond.
Mosher's attorney, Stewart Wheeler, said one of the conditions of her release was to remain drug and alcohol free.
Today a drug test requested by Logan County's Commonwealth Attorney came back positive for marijuana and Mickey Mosher was sent back to jail.
"I'm glad that she's going back to jail. I think the test results are very indicative that she's an addict and she's a dangerous addict. Her habit is 25 years long. It hasn't been broken. The test today proved that," said Caroline Mitchell Lusk, one of Mitchell's daughters.
Caroline's father, Brooks Mitchell, was one of the two men killed in the unforgettable June crash. On Thursday, Jan. 11, she was glad to see Mosher sent back to jail.
"She's killed two people because of her habit and injured another one severely, so she needs to be behind bars," Caroline said.
Coleman and Amber Martin's father, Cornelius Martin, was the other man killed in the crash.
"We were very pleased with the outcome. We were very pleased that they did decide to do the random drug test," Coleman Martin said.
Coleman also said he wasn't surprised that Mosher failed the drug test but that her expression told a different story.
"Her reaction, it was very surprising for her. We are happy she is going back though and we feel that justice is going to be served," Coleman said.
With Mosher's trial date now being pushed back almost two months, these two families say they will continue to wait for the trial to begin so that they can end a hard chapter in their lives.
"We wanted to say goodbye to our father and say goodbye and be done and by dragging it out continually and continually, it's reliving all of that and that's incredibly difficult," Caroline said.
"We just want to know that justice will be served and it will be done correctly and through the proper steps," Coleman said.
Mickey Mosher has now been ordered to take a blood test within the next 24 hours and is currently lodged in the Logan County jail on a $1 million cash bond.
Mosher's attorney, Stewart Wheeler, said the results of this test will determine whether Judge Tyler Gill modifies that bond. He said he was also surprised at the results of today's drug test.
"She's, I thought, maintained a very high level of sobriety. I was not aware that this would happen. It surprised me. I think it surprised her family and yes, it's frustrating," Wheeler said.
Mosher had evidence of suspected marijuana cigarettes in her wallet when searched at the detention center after her drug test.
The evidence was sent off by the sheriff's department to be tested and should be back within the next week.

The family experiences another health scare crisis when T.J., who is battling a bad cough, is hospitalized for a bout of pneumonia. Fortunately, the little tike is soon released to go home but before he does, emotions fly.
Both parents spend the first night with their son, but Jenae is disappointed the next morning when Tim wakes up and announces he needs to go to open up the restaurant and get to work. Later, Jenae's mom drops by the hospital room and devotes much of her conversation towards Tim. All of this stresses Jenae out even more.
Tim gets in contact with Jay the realtor in Houston. He's ready to pull the trigger on the turnkey he's found without Mr. Bussey's or Miss Robbie's knowledge. Hooray for Charles. He got the part he auditioned for in last week's episode. He and Monique fume over what is sure to turn into "Danielle-gate." Feeling threatened, neither one of them just can't seem to understand why Tim would hire an outsider for the position of assistant. And no one can understand why Tim would do such a thing without getting their approval or at least mentioning it first.
Monique bounces over to the Mangrove to retrieve some keys, only there is a slight problem. Danielle is the key keeper. She doesn't know who Monique is and feels she can't just hand out keys all willy-nilly. Upset and feeling disrespected, Monique calls Auntie Robbie (Tee-tee) to complain. Miss Robbie has her on speaker with Jenae sitting in the office. So now Jenae is upset. No one is going to disrespect her friend like that and who is this assistant? What?
Anyway, Jenae storms out of Miss Robbie's office and takes her wrath over to the Mangrove and more or less has a long overdue breakdown. Tim, Monique and Jenae are in the hallway outside the office where Danielle is presumably sitting arguing loudly. Jenae arrived before Monique even had a chance to tell Tim what happened. Not that it would matter. He probably would have said the girl was just doing her job. Tim won't let Jenae to "talk" to Danielle. Jenae sees this as him choosing the new assistant over her. Monique would probably feel that way too if Tim were to say Danielle was just doing her job by not handing over the keys. The whole thing is a hot steamy finger pointing mess.
Jenae goes back to Miss Robbie crying and leaves her engagement ring with her almost mother-in-law to give back to Tim. Some time later, and after Jenae is gone, Tim shows up. Miss Robbie tells him what happened and says she is not giving the ring back. She will hold on to it. Hope floats, but Tim seems done.
Mr. Bussey comes in during the midst of Tim and Miss Robbie's mother and son session. He comes bearing good tidings. There is expressed interest and an excellent opportunity for them to open a Sweetie Pie's in Memphis on the famous Beale Street. The other good news is that the West Florissant location is pretty much ready, set and go.
Miss Robbie is ecstatic. Tim, looking downcast, takes a deep breath and delivers his bad news. He's dropped a deposit on a location in Houston. Mama is downright angry. There he goes again doing stuff without running it by her first. Tim walks out of the office (and this season's finale) needing a break from the family.
Do you think Monique overreacted and Danielle may have just been doing her job or do you think Monique was being disrespected by the assistant?
Do you think Jenae overacted and a perky young female assistant was the catalyst which pushed her over the emotional edge or do you think Jenae's feelings were also justified and Tim is a jerk for not including her in matters of the family business?

Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures - First Impressions
In 1932 a writer named Robert E. Howard created Conan the Barbarian and started a phenomenon that is still popular today. Over the years the story of Conan has been told and expanded in magazines, comic books, movies, and most recently, an epic MMO. In a matter of days Funcom will open the doors on a world of swords, sorcery and bloody, bloody carnage. Can Conan crush the skulls of the competition?
You awake in chains and with a strange mark on your chest and no knowledge of your past, or as I like to call it "contrived RPG character origin #5"The game begins with you shipwrecked on a beach near the city of Tortage. You awake in chains and with a strange mark on your chest and no knowledge of your past, or as I like to call it "contrived RPG character origin #5". The world is set in the Hyborian Age, which is basically our world between the point when Atlantis sank into the ocean and everything else in recorded history. Conan has claimed the throne of Aquilonia, one of the three main kingdoms in the game. He has settled down to live happily ever after…WRONG! His kingdom is beset on all sides by enemies and the noose is tightening. Funcom has based the game not only on Howard's stories but also on 70 years of Conan lore created by other authors.
But enough about the story! What does it matter? Go out there and bash some heads! Before your ship sinks you choose your culture, class and appearance. The three cultures are Aquilonian, Cimmerian, and Stygian. Sorry, no dwarves or elves to be found here! The choice of culture determines your appearance choices and, more importantly, your selection of classes. There are 4 archetypal classes to choose from: soldier, priest, rogue, and mage. Each archetype has three classes with a surprising amount of variety. For example, the rogue archetype has the Assassin, Ranger and Barbarian classes. Each one uses stealth to some degree but while the Assassin depends on it, the other two have other strengths.
If you strike an opponent on an unguarded side you'll do massive damage and sometimes see a very gory fatality animationCombat plays out a little differently than other MMOs. You start out with three basic attacks and later gain other abilities that make use of them to create combos. For example, you'll fire off one of your abilities and then an icon will show one of your basic attacks. If you immediately select the correct attack the combo will be successful. The other element of combat is the shield system. Selecting an enemy you will see icons representing your opponent's guard. It helps to think of it in Star Trek terms with starship shields being shunted to provide more coverage on one side at the expense of another. If you strike an opponent on an unguarded side you'll do massive damage and sometimes see a very gory fatality animation if they are low on health. You have your own shields you can maneuver around using key combinations. Quite frankly, I have not messed with my own configuration at all. It seems a little unwieldy at the moment.
On top of the abilities you'll earn about every other level or so, you'll also earn skill points for dispatching enemies. These skill points can be assigned to a number of skills such as climbing, bandaging, stealth, mana regeneration, etc. The skills available to you vary depending on your class and your level. At the moment, you are not notified when a new skill becomes available so it pays to check the corresponding tab in the UI every level. There is a limit to how many skill points can be applied to a skill each level. From what I've seen so far, some classes will have an abundance of skill points sitting unused while others will be scraping for every one they can earn. Characters also start earning feat points at level 10. Feats work like they do in other MMOs. There is a tree of available feats and by putting points in one you make it more powerful and unlock others farther along in the tree.
As the open beta has a level cap of 13 (out of 80!!), I decided to start taking classes through the beginning of the game and see how each one played. The first one I decided to play was the Ranger. I had heard it was overpowered at the time and figured it would be a good class to play while learning the game. The Ranger is part of the rogue archetype so he's got stealth and ranged combat. I didn't see a whole lot of ranged combat for a while. I had missed the mob that dropped a starter bow (note to self, KILL EVERYTHING!) so I was stuck with hand-to-hand combat for a while. I didn't understand the skill point system so it took a while for me to assign points to stealth to actually make it successful. Once I did get my bow and some ranged skills, the interface was a bit unwieldy for me. I had to swap weapons to use my ranged skills then remember which skills they were. Then I had to swap back when the enemies got within melee range. Well, at least in my mind I thought that shooting someone in the face with a bow at point blank range wouldn't work…I might have been able to keep the bow equipped. Stealth was very effective and there are a lot of variables that go into figuring out if you are seen or not. It felt very Thief to me and I liked using it. (Maybe there's a future Assassin in me?)
With this character I killed everything in sightThe next class I tried out was the Dark Templar. He is part of the soldier archetype but he uses magic to enhance his attacks. He's got some life leech skills which, I imagine, are expanded on quite a bit post-13. It was a pleasant switch to play a class that was pure death-dealing in nature as I usually end up gravitating to the stealthy characters. With this character I killed everything in sight and waited a little longer before doing the main storyline quests. You see, when you start the storyline quests in Tortage the game switches from daytime, where you play with everyone on the server, to night where its just you. The initial story missions act as a bit of a tutorial that's geared towards your class' archetype. This means you'll see the story play out from a slightly different point of view depending on your class.
The third class I tried out was the Necromancer. The necromancer has some nasty spells that do some nice damage. They are also one of the "pet" classes. They can summon undead minions to do their bidding. Also, after doing a critical hit on an enemy (which means that they've hit an enemy on their unshielded side) a temporary minion appears to protect him for a short time. Non-warriors in Age of Conan do not seem to be quite as squishy as they are in other games. I mean, they are still squishy but they just seem a little tougher to me, at least at the earlier levels. I am currently having an issue controlling my pet. I think it's because I do not have (or do not know) the commands on hotkeys. Along with the Dark Templar, I think the Necromancer will make it into my list of alts when the game goes live.
At the behest of a friend of mine I created a female character for what should be obvious reasons, given the game's mature rating. I made her a Bear Shaman, which is basically a healer that uses two-handed blunt weapons to whomp enemies. The first thing I did, and this was strictly for research purposes mind you, was to remove what little clothing she came equipped with and..er..unleash the twins. I figured come launch day I was going to see nothing but horny teens with their female toons streaking through Tortage anyway so why not get it out of the way? Any-hoo, I normally shy away from healers but the Bear Shaman plays really well. There's something satisfying about walloping someone over the head with a big tree branch. I've noticed that most of the classes give you a nice feeling of power in the opening levels and then you get splashed with a bit of a reality check later on.
What happens after level 13? Well, the NDA says I can't give you the specifics of what I've seen but I can talk about the announced features. There will be a number of crafting professions to choose from that will let you make weapons, armor, potions, gems and even buildings in player cities. Ah, crafting…one of the things that excites me the most about Age of Conan is that crafting will not be grind-based! No, seriously…it won't. You will need to complete quests that incorporate your crafting skills in order to gain crafting ranks. So, that means you won't need to craft a thousand burlap loincloths, unless you are in to that sort of thing. Crafting will play a vital role in constructing player cities. The cities can have a variety of upgradable buildings that give your characters real benefits in the form of buffs and bonuses. The bigger the city, the greater the benefits guild members will receive.
Player versus player combat will also play a big role in AoC, even on PvE servers. In the Border Kingdoms, guilds will be able to set up battlekeeps to build their cities around. Guilds can also gain keeps by taking them from others. This will involve siege engines, buildings and defenses built by crafters. This will also involve mercenaries! No matter who you are you can join in on the fun on either side if the price is right. Both attackers and defenders can offer up gold in order to bolster their numbers. Oh, and should I mention MOUNTED COMBAT? On the PvP-enabled servers it's just all out war…watch your back and bring friends! The Older Gamers will have folks on both flavors of server to satisfy your bloodlust.

*everything above is at stock, no overclocking or BIOS tweaking or the like…
Right off the bat this game just looks beautiful. Of course, my ONLY experience with any MMORPG has been several months of EQ2 (and that was over a year ago), and a short stint with Auto Assault (so much potential there...), so what I'm seeing may be nothing new for you more experienced MMORPG-ers. The sounds are amazing and help to immerse you in the moment, just like the overall graphics do. The jungle looks awesome, and the NPC's, moved fluidly while doing their normal walk-around-and-look-like-i'm-doing-something routine. Their combat animations were smooth as well. I have read in places that DX10 would not be available in the beta. However in the config I found the option to select 9 or 10 (default was 9) and I changed it to 10. Don't know if what I'm seeing is DX10 or 9, but it sure looks nice! If it is DX9, I can't wait to see what 10 looks like!
We are now days away from early-access release and Age of Conan looks like it's shaping up to be a really fun game. Recent patches have dramatically increased the game's stability. There are a lot of fun classes to play and some interesting game mechanics at later levels. Oh, yes…I will be subscribing. They basically had me at "war rhino mount". I realize the graphic for this article says "review" but I am really hesitant to actually give it a score while it is still in beta. However, we all like nice tidy numbers to sum things up so I am going to give it a 4 out of 5 based on my experiences so far and the features they've added that distinguish it from other MMOs. This could easily turn into a 5 or a 3 in the next few weeks depending on how launch goes. For now, I am going to contemplate what character to roll first on the 17th. Maybe a Barbarian or Guardian? I haven't tried a Demonologist yet. Hmmm….

Arrowroot is also known as the obedience plant and is an herb that is found in rainforest habitats. It is a white powder like material which is obtained from the root of the plant Marantha arundinacea. The old Caribbean Arawak people used the arrowroot plant as a staple. These plants are found in West Indies, Florida, Australia, South Asia, Brazil, and Thailand. Arrowroot is essentially a type of starch which is extracted from the West Indian arrowroot rhizomes.
To obtain arrowroot powder, the arrowroots are first washed and cleaned with the help of a paper-like scale. It is then washed again and fully drained. Next it is reduced to a pulp by beating it with mortars or similar instruments. A milky liquid is obtained which is then passed through a coarse cloth to get the pure starch. The starch thus obtained, is insoluble, and so settles at the bottom and is then dried in the sun or in a drying house, resulting in the arrowroot powder. Uses:- Arrowroot has a large number of culinary uses. It is used in sauces, biscuits, jellies, cakes, puddings, fruit pie fillings, and glazes as a thickening agent. It is also used as a replacement for corn starch. Arrowroot powder can also be used in place of flour. It is also used for making shimmering fruit gels. Arrowroot is used to prevent the formation of ice crystals in home-made ice creams. The arrowroot powder is deficient in gluten, so it can be used as a replacement of wheat flour for baking purposes.There are many health benefits of arrowroot. Some of these include:
Arrowroot is a very popularly used herb, which is often confused with another herb known as arrowhead. This herb is known by many different names in the different parts of the world. Some of these names are arrowroot cookie, bamboo tuber, obedience plant, East Indian arrowroot, St. Vincent arrowroot, and reed arrowroot.Arrowroot is actually not a specific plant. Any plant that belongs to the genus Maranta is usually known as arrowroot. However, in the more common usage, the term arrowroot is usually used to describe the starch that is most easily digested. This starch is produced in the rhizomes of the plant. There are many other plants that produce a similar starch; however, it is the uses of arrowroot starch that the world is most familiar with.
Queensland arrowroot, Florida arrowroot, and Brazilian arrowroot are some of the other arrowroot plants that produce a starch similar to that produced by the Maranta arundinacea, which is known as the true arrowroot and which is the real source of all the benefits of arrowroot starch. The name arrowroot has been literally derived from the popular ancient Indian use of the herb as an antidote to the poisoned-tipped arrows that were used to kill in battle. In the Caribbean, arrowroot plant is a dietary staple, and thus, the name may also have originated from the phrase aru-aru, which means meal of meals.
Uses of arrowrootpowder.Arrowroot is used in the basic form of a starchy powder. This powder is dried from a liquid that is milky in color. The liquid is extracted from the rhizome of the Maranta arundinacea, or the true arrowroot. When you grate the rhizome, the liquid begins to collect, which is then sun dried because it is high in starch content. This powder is used for a variety of things, especially for the treatment of digestive distress. The starch from the root is used as food for those who have very poor digestion. People who are just recovering from a long ailment are also given arrowroot starch as an easily digestible food.
Just like slippery elm, the uses of arrowroot include both soothing and nourishment. Whereas it can be used as a staple diet, it can also be used to treat diarrhea and ease abdominal pain, especially in those who suffer from chronic ailments like irritable bowel syndrome. Although it is largely used to relive indigestion, in some areas of the world, the starch is made into a poultice that is then used to treat rhizomes and may also be used on a variety of ulcers and festering wounds. In the African continent, arrowroot is used both as a source of nourishment and a treatment for sunburn.
Arrowroot powder benefits.For long, arrowroot's benefits have been centered on the remedy for diarrhea. There have been many studies performed on the possible remedies of arrowroot for digestive discomforts and distress. On the one hand, the high starch in arrowroot powder has a laxative effect and is often used as a mild laxative for those suffering from irritable bowel syndrome;however, there are also many others who claim that arrowroot's starch makes it an effective remedy for diarrhea. It is possible that the demulcent effects of the arrowroot powder may soothe the bowels in patients of irritable bowel syndrome. It is from here that the common use of arrowroot as a remedy for diarrhea has emerged.In a lot of gastrointestinal ailments, arrowroot powder is consumed orally to improve the symptoms. Due to the high starch content, the calories in arrowroot powder are also high. Therefore, this is not the ideal staple for you if you have been trying to reduce weight.
Apart from its popular use in digestive ailments, there are cultures where arrowroot is made into a poultice and applied on the areas of the body where the skin is painful and irritated. If you have inflamed mucous membranes, arrowroot starch solution may be used to soothe the irritation. There are many other uses of arrowroot. However, most of these uses are centered around the possible effects on the digestive system and the soothing of irritated skin. Although the uses of arrowroot include nutrition, it is not usually considered a common ingredient in the kitchen. Among the other uses of arrowroot are poison antidote, gangrene treatment, inflammation, weight gain, and insect bite treatment.
Arrowroot continues to remain one of the most used home remedies in the world. Although there are no specific harmful effects that have yet been identified, it is recommended that before using arrowroot yourself, it is best to get a prescribed dosage for it. The common dosage is 5 ml of arrowroot powder to be taken three times a day. This dosage is only for adults. For children, there are no studies and no standard dosages. Since arrowroot powder is also offered by pharmaceutical companies, it is best to consult a doctor or read the dosage instructions on the arrowroot supplement labels.Medical professionals may offer many other complementary treatments along with self-medication with arrowroot. Thus, it is best to consult with a doctor and take their advice on any such treatments before medicating yourself only with arrowroot.
Since there is a lack of empirical data on the subject, it is possible that the effects of arrowroot may be subjective, and therefore, the benefits of arrowroot powder may not be what you think they will be. There are some people who may exhibit allergies to arrowroot powder. If there is hypersensitivity to arrowroot, or any known allergy to any members of the Marantaceae family, it is best to avoid consuming arrowroot. Although there is not much documented research on the side effects of arrowroot, it is believed that consistent consumption of arrowroot may not be advisable. Arrowroot is a gluten free starch and therefore, may be recommended as a substitute for wheat and other grains for patients of Crohn's disease of gluten sensitivity. Constipation may be the most common known side effect of arrowroot. Women who are pregnant or are breastfeeding should stay away from arrowroot as well.

Popularity of the USPCC Helps Boost Registrations for the Annual Buff Bicycle Classic
Submitted by Amy Thompson on
From the Daily Camera
Organizers of the Buffalo Bicycle Classic -- a charity ride that raises scholarship money for students at the University of Colorado -- seem to be benefiting from the excitement of the Pro Cycle Challenge that recently held its stage 6 in Boulder.
The Elevations Credit Union Buffalo Bicycle Classic is scheduled for Sunday, and some riders who participate in the 10th annual classic will follow much of the same route -- the mountainous Boulder Canyon section -- that the pros did in the nationally broadcast Pro Cycling Challenge.
Todd Gleeson, the ride's founder and former dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, said last year there were 1,850 participants. Leading up to the race, there were 400 to 500 more people registered than there were during the same time period last year -- a bump that Gleeson thinks can be linked to the excitement surrounding the Pro Cycle presence in Boulder.

KANATA, Ont. -- Having won the three previous NHL All-Star Games, Tim Thomas knows the tricks that give you a chance to win a game that is not kind to goalies.
"In these types of games really the only chance you have to have your name on the record as the winning goalie is if you play in the third period," Thomas said. "You can get a shutout in the first period and still not end up with the win, probably won't end up with the win. That's why I wanted to play the third period."
He got his wish, and he got his win.
A year ago, Thomas became the only goalie in NHL history to win three straight All-Star Games. On Sunday, he improved on his record by winning his fourth in a row, backstopping Team Chara to a 12-9 victory by stopping 15 of 18 shots in the third period.
The game was tied at 6-6 entering the third period and Thomas was beaten three times by Team Alfredsson, but his guys got him six goals -- including Zdeno Chara's winner with 7:40 remaining.
"The one thing, first and foremost, the other goaltenders were sport enough to let him finish," Bruins coach Claude Julien said, referencing Jimmy Howard and Carey Price, the team's other goalies. "He obviously had the most (fan) votes as a goaltender and a lot of times those goaltenders end up starting, but we asked the goaltenders if they were OK with it and they said, 'Absolutely.'
"The other two played rock, paper, scissors to decide who would start. When it was tied (in the third period), the stage was set for Tim to get an opportunity to win his fourth in a row."
While winning four All-Star Games will likely go in as a footnote to Thomas' career accomplishments, it means a great deal to him.
"It's something that they never take away from you," Thomas said. "I am excited and I feel blessed that this happened at such a late stage of my career, especially.
"I was shooting for four," he added. "I don't really think I realized how much I wanted the fourth until we got into it. My team came up big, scored a couple of goals early for me, and I was like, 'Hey, let's do this.' "
In the process, Thomas stopped fan favorite Daniel Alfredsson from completing his hat trick and perhaps winning the MVP. He stopped all four of Alfredsson's shots in the third period.
"Yeah, that's Timmy. He's very competitive," said Chara, who admitted he was pulling for Alfredsson to get the hat trick. "You can't blame him. That's the only way he can play, otherwise he's not really effective. He's always competitive. That's him."
Thomas' competitiveness makes playing in the third period of an All-Star Game ideal for him. That's when the game usually picks up in intensity, which is only normal for the 37-year-old goalie.
"I'm assuming that Alfie really wanted to get the win on home ice, but it's always more fun to win, whether you're at an All-Star Game or playing some little competition in practice," Thomas said. "The pace picks up in the third period, which actually makes it a little bit easier for a goalie in a certain way because there is more flow."

Sarah Sentilles writes at Religion Dispatches today that Trevor Case's alleged waterboarding of his girlfriend is unsurprising considering our "torture culture," rates of domestic violence and historical religious precedent:
In his 2008 article "Torture and Religious Practice," William Schweiker traces the Christian roots of waterboarding, which was used, for example, during the Spanish Inquisition and in the persecution of Anabaptists during the Protestant Reformation. Schweiker argues that waterboarding is religious violence not only due to its pedigree, but because it carries a particularly religious meaning: that it functioned as a kind of baptism.
Since the Anabapists rejected infant baptism in favor of adult baptism, to take one example, King Ferdinand declared drowning a "Third Baptism," and an appropriate response to their heretical practices. Schweiker writes that waterboarding-as-baptism was presented as a way to "save" the person being tortured by delivering the accused from his or her sins. Torture became punishment for sins, and punishment became an act of mercy and salvation.

"This soup was delicious! The cooking down of the coconut milk yielded very rich flavor. I also added a bag of frozen Asian vegetables (found at Costco) and about 1 tbsp of fresh grated ginger. The family loved it and there wer no leftovers. This would also be great with shrimp. Thank you Monnie for this wonderful recipe."

LAS VEGAS, N.M. – Led by double-doubles from Luke Meisch and Trevor Wages, as well as near-perfect free throw shooting down the stretch, the Colorado School of Mines men's basketball team gutted out an 89-84 overtime victory over New Mexico Highlands on Saturday evening in Las Vegas, N.M.
Mines (4-2, 1-1 RMAC) shrugged off its conference-opening loss on Friday by attacking the rim all night to the tune of 51 free throw attempts, of which the Orediggers made 38 (74.5 percent).
Wages posted a career-high 30 points and a game-high 14 rebounds for his second double-double of the season. He became the first 30-point scorer in a Mines uniform since All-American Sean Armstrong accomplished the feat on January 3, 2011, against Western New Mexico.
The Preseason All-RMAC pick finished 11-of-15 from the floor while adding three assists, two blocks and a steal in 35 minutes of action.
Sophomore Brian Muller added 25 points and four assists on a 4-of-14 shooting line from the floor, including a 3-of-7 mark from the perimeter, but the Billings, Mont., native did most of his work at the charity stripe with a perfect 14-of-14 effort. He tied a school record for free throw percentage in a game and joins Kyle Pape (12-for-12, Colorado Christian, Jan. 18, 2008) and Sam Handsborough (12-for-12, Chadron State, Feb. 21, 1998) in the Mines' record books.
Meisch posted his second double-double of the season with a season-high 17 point performance while adding 11 rebounds and a steal defensively. He finished 4-of-6 from the field and a perfect 7-of-7 from the foul line to finish one point off his career high for points in a game.
A competitive first half saw just two tie scores but eight lead changes before Mines headed into the break with a 40-36 lead. Mines pushed its lead to as much as 12 points at the 14:58 mark of the second half, before NMHU (3-2, 1-1 RMAC) trimmed the Oredigger lead to two at 60-58 with 11:51 to go.
A 3-point basket by Muller with 11:27 remaining pushed Mines' lead back out to five points at 63-58. The next six-plus minutes of action featured a combined 10 points between the two squads, with Mines continuing to hold a five-point lead at 68-63.
Mines would push its lead to seven points at 72-65 on a layup by Wages – his 27th and 28th points of the night – with 3:41 remaining, but NMHU would claw its way back to within two points at 72-70 with 2:08 to play on a 3-point basket by Mannie Cass.
A pair of free throws by Roland Fitch with 1:17 remaining tied up the game, and another pair of free throws bv Augustus French with 48 seconds remaining pushed NMHU into the lead for the first time since the 7:09 mark of the first half.
A foul by NMHU with 33 seconds remaining put Trey Winbush at the line, and the rookie knocked in both freebies to tie up the score once again at 74-74. Neither squad would be able to score before the end of regulation and the game would move into overtime.
A jumper by freshman Winbush to open overtime pushed Mines back up front, but an old-fashioned 3-point play by Cass pushed NMHU back in front at 77-76 with 3:42 to play. Wages then dumped in his 30th point of the night on a jumper with 3:31 to go to move his squad back in front, 78-77.
The two squads continued to trade points and free throws, with Mines' only points coming via the charity stripe, including a pair of free throws by Meisch that put the Orediggers back out front, 84-81, with 1:07 to go.
The Orediggers would close the game out in typical Mines fashion by making 11 of their last 12 free throws they attempted in securing an 89-84 victory.
Mines will return to the friendly confines of Lockridge Arena next weekend when the squad hosts Chadron State and Black Hills State on Friday and Saturday, respectively.

Tissue Growth and Morphogenesis: from Genetics to Mechanics and Back (12w5048)
Christian Dahmann (Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics)
James J. Feng (University of British Columbia)
Leonid Pismen (Technion - Israel Institute of Technology)
The latest advances on the three scales (genetic, cellular and tissue) and the emerging efforts at integrating them suggest that the time is ripe for a concerted assault. The general objective of this workshop is to bring together the leading researchers in tissue growth and morphogenesis across several disciplines, including biologists, physicists and mathematicians, to foster awareness and cross-disciplinary transfer of ideas on this fast evolving field.
So far research dealing with the genetic, cellular and tissue aspects of morphogenesis has largely progressed independently, with insufficient conversation among the different communities of scientists. Yet, it is clear from the brief overview above that the problem at hand is multidisciplinary and calls for a coordinated approach that integrates insights and knowledge from the different approaches. One can envision a close coupling of the different length scales via propagation of information in both directions. For example, genetic-molecular pathways may predict or rationalize the abundance of certain signaling molecules such as the Hedgehog. This information can then be utilized on the cellular level to explain apical constriction. In the meantime, intracellular mechanical and geometric cues will affect the reaction-diffusion of active chemical messengers that modifies the genetic-molecular expression in return.
The three organizers come from biology, physics and mechanics backgrounds. From our own work, we are keenly aware of the limitations of each approach to the problem if pursued separately. Dahmann works on experimental observation of pattern formation and morphogenesis during tissue development; Pismen has been studying self-organization and pattern formation in chemical, fluid-mechanical, and biological systems; and Feng, jointly appointed at UBC in Mathematics and Chemical Engineering, has been working on continuum and discrete models on cell mechanics, including polarization, motility and deformation. His group has developed a comprehensive toolkit for simulating complex fluids and soft solids that is being applied to compute cell dynamics. The recently started collaboration among us, in the framework of an interdisciplinary HFSP (Human Frontier Science Program) project on morphogenesis in the egg shell of the fruit fly Drosophila, brought about the realization that a tremendous advantage can be gained in the area of morphogenesis if researchers from different backgrounds are brought together, and shown the wide range of problems to which their methods can be successfully applied, probably after adaptation and fusion with other ideas and techniques. Mathematics is clearly the most important theme that overarches all the relevant work so far.
We expect the following concrete outcomes from the workshop:
(1) To survey the state of the art on tissue growth and morphogenesis, and highlight it as an important emerging area in applied mathematics. Experimentalists will describe recent observations and measurements on processes such as morphogen spreading, collective cell migration, gastrulation movements, dorsal closure, cell sorting, and force sensing. Theoreticians and numerical analysts will summarize the predictive capabilities of their models, including continuum and discrete numerical methods. We will encourage the two sides to "compare notes" and come up with a common understanding of our current knowledge in this area.
(2) To identify the most pressing scientific problems. Experimentalists will underscore phenomena that cannot be readily rationalized or explained. These might include morphogen gradients driving tissue growth, mechanical feedback on gene expression, or forces driving cell sorting. Modelers and simulators will define the limitations of various theoretical and numerical methods, and explore multiscale modeling for prototypical events such as the apical constriction in epithelial invagination, force propagation, chemo-mechanical feedbacks, and the routes to morphological changes.
(3) To develop promising research strategies for the future. In view of the list of high-priority research problems, the workshop will conduct an inventory of the cutting-edge observational, modeling and computational techniques, and suggest the most appropriate approaches to each problem. These can be combinations of existing approaches developed for separate aspects of morphogenesis. For instance, mechanical models for cell deformation can be integrated into kinetic and transport models for the signaling molecules to address the coupling across length and time scales. Or better yet, the discussion may produce completely novel concepts and ideas to be explored in the future.
(4) To facilitate the pursuit of these strategies by initiating interdisciplinary collaborations. We envision broad and lively discussions of all the theoretical developments, computational methodologies and experimental discoveries. Out of the discussions, we hope, collaborations will naturally grow between researchers with complementary skills and expertise. In particular, younger scientists will benefit from direct interactions with more established experts, and from the opportunity to integrate or distinguish themselves in this exciting multi-disciplinary community.
We have compiled a stellar and diverse roster for the workshop. We have invited the mathematical experts on modeling and computations, leading biophysicists specializing in cell-level measurements and characterization, and geneticists and developmental biologists actively exploring the connection between gene expression and tissue mechanics. In the meantime, we have also included a significant number of younger researchers, with the aim of providing them with essential tools and techniques that they would not normally encounter within their own institutions and research groups. So far 32 of the 44 first-round invitees have accepted the invitation pending on determination of the workshop's timing. Many enthusiastically endorsed the idea for the workshop, and some suggested ideas and topics for the workshop that have been incorporated in the above. If time conflict prevents some from attending, we have also compiled a "waiting list" of a dozen people. We are confident that this workshop will gather an exceptionally strong group of scientists. We plan to use the materials of the workshop for a special issue of European Physical Journal ST-DD (Special Topics - Discussions & Debates) where Pismen is an Editor.

Paying off a son's student loans
Dear Money Matters,
I would like to pay off my son's school loans -- about $9,000. I'm
retired and have $90,000 in a rollover at Morgan Stanley that is
doing nothing. Or, I could use a zero-percent credit card and get
the money. Then he could pay me.
Dear Niki,
We should all have a parent as generous as you. My first advice
would be to avoid the zero-percent credit card. The zero percent
is just a "teaser" rate that will inevitably go up after
a few months.
If you're lucky, the rate will go up only to the low
teens, and your son will quickly pay off your largesse. If you're
unlucky, you'll be saddled with a high-interest credit card and
a sizable balance.
On top of that, if you use your own available cash
to pay off the credit card debt before it jumps past zero percent
interest, you're effectively doing the same thing as simply giving
him the money to pay off the loan. The only difference is that the
card will likely give you a few months' grace period before you
have to tap into your cash reserves.
The most simple and certainly the most cost-effective
means of paying off your son's student loans is to access the money
you say you have at Morgan Stanley. I have to do some interpreting
here, but my guess is that your money is in a cash management account
drawing a modest amount of interest rather than in something with
a bigger payback, such as a stock or mutual fund (at least that
would be my view of money that was "doing nothing.") If
that's the case, you should feel free to do so -- your money is
likely earning less in interest than that levied by your son's student
loans, so paying off a higher interest rate with funds that are
earning less in interest is sensible.
If you'd rather not earmark that amount at once, another
option is tapping into your home equity with either a loan or a
line of credit. Like a student loan, these are relatively inexpensive
-- the going rate for a loan is 8.25 percent, while the line of
credit is even lower at 5.29. Other pluses include tax deductibility
and modest monthly payments, since the $9,000 you'd plan to borrow
is relatively small. To illustrate this, I ran some numbers on a
home equity loan lasting 15 years (a common lifespan). Your monthly
minimum calculates out to a puny $87 a month.
The downside, however, is that you are accumulating
interest costs for as long as you have the loan. For instance, should
you dutifully pay the $87 a month for the full 15 years, you spend
more than $6,000 in interest charges. Granted, you could always
pay off the loan faster than the prescribed schedule or opt for
a line of credit instead. This functions more like a credit card,
as the interest rate changes and what you owe from one month to
the next depends on the outstanding balance of the loan. In either
case, you're still taking on interest charges -- something you skirt
completely by just giving your son the money.
You might also look into how your son's loans are
structured. He may be able to consolidate
the loans at extremely favorable rates -- better than what you
can get in a home equity loan or line.
Should you decide to tap into your available cash,
the last issue you need to tackle is, in many ways, no less important
than the means you choose to get the money. The question is how
you want to give your son the money -- will it be an outright gift
or would you rather structure it as a loan with a schedule of payments
and possibly an interest rate? Money
and family can often be a dicey proposition, so give this thought.
Some people might prefer the parameters of a formal loan. Unfortunately,
that can often backfire, since the obligation to meet monthly payments
simply isn't as strong as it would be for a bank or other lending
institution. And that can lead to family squabbles.
My advice -- give your son the money as a gift
with the proviso that, should he be able to sometime in the future,
he should feel free to repay your generosity. This strategy makes
the gift less of an outright handout without running the risks of
straining family relationships that a formal loan can carry.

Gohuskies.com caught up with Louis Rankin and asked him about how he felt about leading the Pac-10 in rushing and about being eighth overall nationally.
Gohuskies.com: How does it feel to lead the Pac-10 in rushing and to be eighth nationally?
Louis Rankin: It's still early, but I'm excited. I'm looking to improve as the weeks go on and as practice goes on tomorrow. Today I am trying to improve and make some of the corrections for some of the mistakes I have made.
Gohuskies.com: You said before the season that you and Kenny James would definitely be a big compliment to each other. Some people doubted that assertion, but do you feel like you are proving people wrong right now?
LR: I don't really know. Kenny and I both try to go out there, and do the best we can and we're not really looking at what is going on outside of that. We're just trying to win games and score touchdowns and do the best we can do.
Gohuskies.com: How did Kenny's big run key the team at the start of the Oklahoma game?
LR: It was a great run. The line opened up the hole, Kenny hit it full speed, made a guy miss and ran for a long touchdown. Whenever you start off the game with a big play it sparks the whole team. It got us going and it got us fired up.
Gohuskies.com: A lot of the running has been right up the middle. Is that different from your normal game?
LR: No, not at all. With my size I am not a big back. People don't really expect me to go up the middle, but I have never been a guy that really runs outside, and I played full back in high school, so I always ran up the middle.
Gohuskies.com: Are you surprised at the success the offensive line has had so far this season opening holes for you?
LR: The line didn't surprise me at all. I always knew we had probably the best line in the nation and we can do some great things.
Gohuskies.com: Before the Oklahoma game, according to the ABC broadcast, the team needs to have more passing yards than rushing yards. Do you feel that way?
LR: We just need to win. That's the main thing. It doesn't matter if we have three passing yards or 10 rushing yards, if we win the game, I think that everybody is happy.
Gohuskies.com: What was the locker room like at halftime of the Oklahoma Game?
LR: Inside the locker room we were trying to come out strong. I don't think our intensity really changed. We still wanted to go out in the second half and go out there and make some big plays. We had some bad breaks and we made some mistakes.
Gohuskies.com: How will last Saturday's game affect the rest of the season?
LR: I think all we have to do is settle down and we are doing that week by week. And we are getting more relaxed and we are becoming comfortable with what we are doing. I think that we are just going to get better as the weeks go on.
