the reason shells stands theres like he has a stick up his ass is because hes clownin as to say hes lookin over you,and I agree,personally im not into shells or his style,but regardless you gotta give props where props is due,the dude did get second place at blaze,and did win the source battle,so obviously hes doing something right(lets also keep in mind that dude is only 19,which isnt really such a big factor,but hey),....I sorta wish young zee would have gotten further in the battle,i'm glad eyedea won tho,hes ill,...it would have nice if sage or adeem would have been up in the mix servin fools as well

I haven't seen that battle, just heard excerpts from it (only the final rounds between Eyedea and Shells).. but the impression I've had after reading reviews of it and so on...... it was not a very good battle in overall. Blaze Battle was a major disappointment. Most emcees SUCKED, except for Eyedea and maybe Prime. Of course, now that is only what I've read and heard.. but from that it doesn't seem like being the runner up in Blaze Battle really is a reason for people to get on his pee-wee.
And for the record.. yes, Shells performance in the finals was kind of laughable at times, if I'll turn into harsch-mode. Little-to-none sense-making and a lot of stumbling around on the words. Bound to get ripped.

Yeah, I know.. I hoped to make it as clear as possible it was just the impression I've had from reading about it. Sorry if I didn't. But the point I tried to make was that it can't really be THAT prestigeous (and evident that you're great for being a runner-up in it) if it in fact was such lousy competition. Ah, nevermind. Peace

and also from an MC's point of view(me being an MC)to be a runner up in any sort of battle where you have a handfull of mc's going at it is indeed prestigeous

You are just plain wrong. On many counts.
As for the girl, she actually jumped into the audience to fight the girl who was standing on the side of me because she kept yelling, "You're waaaaaaaack!"
It was great.
That battle was a worse mockery of hiphop than Vanilla Ice. The best man did win, though. Grandmaster Caz asked Eyedea for an autograph afterwards. Tell me that ain't gangsta.

If I recall, she had a record deal. That's kinda fucked up.
For Sage and whoever attended the battle live, I heard KRS tore up the mic in the beginning to warm up the crowd, but HBO cut it out of their presentation of it. Is that true? And if so, was he as dope as I imagine he would be?

SO MANY THINGS happened that night and HBO didn't show SHIT.
KRS rocked the house, of course.
Shyne performed the same song 3 times because he kept fucking it up and they wanted to get a good take for HBO. No Joke.
Mystikal actually put on an impressive performance at the very end of the night.
3 huge fights broke out in the crowd...one of them cleared the place. This was before the final round. It sounded like gun shots were fired and everyone dashed out of the building. They threatened to cancel the whole event, and I'm surprised they didn't.

sage dude,how you gonna call me out on being wrong,..I know you arent aware of this but I have a god complex,which is why I feel the need to prove your fans here on this board wrong,for example homeboy saying all the mc's sucked in the battle,..sure,all but 3 or 4 of them did suck,but since he didnt watch the battle,he shouldnt of known that,...see as you may be aware of alot of these internet hiphop fans tend to follow whatever seems to be the trend(much like younger childern do with mtv)and for this reason I feel the need to defend a wack mc like shellz,..umm,my logic is pretty twisted,I guess. And word,that girl was rilla,correct??..she did suck,but word,you had front row seats to see her try and throw down with another girl? that is great,...and I could see how that battle did make a mockery of hiphop,but look on the brighter side,that battle(being aired on mtv)exposed alot of kids to what a battle actually is,..and thats cool. And word,I couldnt fathom having a forefather of this culture(caz)asking me for an autograph,that is indeed one hell of a ma'fucka honer,..f'sho
p.s. have you cought Def Poetry Jam on hbo? im still waiting for the day I watch that and their like,.."reppin rhode island,heres sage francis",..who does the booking for that show,...you should try and get on,that'd be gangsta

Our house brands DreaM Stockings and Dreamer Socks are brimming with rainbow socks to fit whatever might strike your fancy!
DreaM Stockings and Dreamer Socks
Harvest Rainbow SocksOur Dreamer Socks brand Extraordinary Harvest Rainbow socks are a warm, muted, autumnal take on the classic rainbow. Perfect for glorious fall days or any time of year. Made from 85% regenerated cotton/acrylic/polyester, 10% nylon, 5% spandex, they have a fabulous stretch and fit easily on a wide range of legs. They come in a variety of lengths to suit any leg – extraordinarily longer, thigh high, knee high, and crews. We even have them in kid sizing, perfect for chasing rainbows and puddle jumping!
Radiant Rainbow SocksIf you are yearning a splash of vibrant delight, then the Dreamer Socks Radiant Rainbows are the way to go! Their eye-popping bright colorway is achieved through the use of soft, breathable, acrylic yarn and are sure to turn heads! These rainbow socks are also available in a variety of lengths ranging from extraordinarily longer, thigh high, knee high, and crew.
Rainbow DreamsOur DreaM Stockings brand Rainbow Dreams can range from a nice solid knee high to slightly over the knee, depending on the leg. They tend to do better on a foot ranging between women's 7-10.5, but can shrink down a bit with a hot washing and drying on high heat. They come in three delightful options to choose from…or choose all three! Classic is presented in a traditional rainbow colorway, while Bright really punches up the color in a manner reminiscent of a "neon" hues, and Pastel is full of soft and subtle tints of colors.
They can also be paired with our M Sleeves in classic and pastel for double the rainbow fun in an all-over coordinated look!
Tie DyeWe are lucky enough to work with Love Lite Precision/Tie Dye Eric who creates absolute hand-dyed magic on many of our house brand styles. Uniquely whimsical and always original, you just might make the rainbow connection when perusing our tie dye offerings.
Other Rainbow OfferingsThe rainbows don't stop at socks! Leg Avenue steps into the rainbow ring with their selection of legwarmers, petticoats, fingerless gloves, and tights. With colorways, patterns and textures ranging from traditional to neon to pastel, vertical striped rainbows, rainbow fishnet, and furry leg warmers, they definitely have some playful styles to complete any rainbow-themed costume. Even if your costume is your everyday wear!
Some rainbow beauties by Foot Traffic and K Bell both include some fun and funky rainbow styles by mixing it up with different patterns and prints
Sock It To Me never fails with their well-loved Curvy Stripes knee highs, named as such as they have a bit more stretch and give for a more comfortable fit on a wider range of calf sizes. Since they are not ones to forget the wee feet, they're also available in Youth and Junior sizes!
For a really zany take on the rainbow explosion, we certainly can't leave out Tabbisocks' 12-colored Rainbow OTKs, or the wild Checkered Neon Chaos. Criminally bright and hypnotically kaleidoscopic…a perfectly imperfect state of chaos!
And...last but not even remotely least, how better to rock one's Queer Pride than with rainbows?! Celebrating the spectrum of all the folks who identify as Queer, we are beaming with pride that these socks, by Gumball Poodle, are made in the USA exclusively for Sock Dreams.
My sock collection is getting ridiculous, but it's cheaper than therapy!

There's nothing bad to say about this institution or the people behind it. That said, it's been bugging me this summer when, in my travels, I take in the gifts offered by key members of the current Buffalo music scene, folks working most days of the week in a sometimes unforgiving climate to perfect their art. If these musicians and non-performing music scene operators are ever inducted into the BMHOF, it's not likely to happen to them until they're much older. Nothing wrong with that, but hey, why not shine a spotlight on some of them now, while they're out there doing their thing in full swing?
I'd like to offer a tip of my hat to a few of them now, while the light is still good and the day is young. I'm not compiling a list that seeks to be all-inclusive here, but rather, just sharing with you a few of my observations from over the years. These are people who make me feel good about calling Buffalo home. They show a passion for music that knows no observable bounds. They put the music first, where it belongs, and leave the biz side of the business to follow. (This is not generally looked upon favorably in the modern music world, where an artist is expected to be a manager, a self-promoter, a fashion model, and an accountant, often to the detriment of the reason any of these things are even a matter of discussion - the music itself.)
Here are a few of the people who make being a music-obsessed freakazoid in 2012 Buffalo a more than pleasurable experience.
Michael DiSanto: One of the funkiest guitarists in a town full of them, DiSanto has developed over the years into a sublime player. He's achieved first-call status for band leaders looking for a guitarist eager to serve the song, rather than simply ego-trip all over the music. A regular performer with Critt's Juke Joint, DiSanto also runs Neo-Soul Tuesdays at Duke's Bohemian Grove Bar, where he subtly displays his prowess as a soul-jazz, R&B and funk guitarist of the highest order.
Zuri Appleby: Daughter of renowned bassist Rodney Appleby, she is one of the most able, understated, eloquent and ridiculously funky bassists in Western New York. I've seen her play everything from soul, R&B and funk to improv-heavy jam stuff, jazz and hybrids of all of the above. Anyone who values the groove in music knows that a bassist needs to lock in tight with their drummer. Zuri makes doing so look easy. It ain't.
Josh Holtzman: As one of the heads of Blue Stream productions, Holtzman provides management and marketing for some of the most exciting Buffalo bands extant. Principle among them is Aqueous, our area's pre-eminent progressive-psychedelic rock combo. But Holtzman also serves Peanut Brittle Satellite and Slip Madigan. He's part of a new breed of managers, one who puts his love for the music front and center. Holtzman's efforts helped land Aqueous a coveted spot on this summer's moe.down festival. Without seeking to draw attention to himself, he's quietly and doggedly worked to bolster the Buffalo music scene.
Justin Rose: As one of the head engineers at Robby Takac's GCR Audio recording studios, Rose has overseen a heavy load of Western New York recording projects, as well as working with artists from outside the area. His reputation among bands and artists who have worked with him is impeccable. We're lucky to have an engineer of his talents working in our town.
Bryce March: As head of Supernaut Productions, March has worked - on his own, and in tandem with promoters Fun Time Presents - to book some of the most buzzed-about and bubbling-under indie rock bands going into venues like Soundlab, Mohawk Place, the Town Ballroom and Rochester's Water Street Music Hall. Indie-rock fans in the area have him to thank, at least in part, for Buffalo's increasing "must-stop" status among touring indie-rock bands.
Join me in pouring one out for all of the above, men and women who are essential elements in the continued development of Buffalo's musical culture.
A Takac signing
Last week, I chatted with Goo Goo Dolls bassist and Music Is Art mastermind Robby Takac about a whole slew of his most recent enthusiasms, most notably, the 10th anniversary of his Music Is Art Festival on Sept. 15. Takac also gushed giddily about a new signing to his Good Charamel record label, Japanese punk/power-pop trio Pinky Poodle Doodle.
Takac is poised to record and produce the all-female ensemble's Good Charamel debut. He shared an early demo with me, and fans of garage rock, punk-pop, Cibo Mato and "J-Rock" in general, take note - Pinky Poodle Doodle is a blast.
Takac booked the band, along with our own Contagious Woo, into Mohawk Place at 8 p.m. Thursday, prior to its appearance at the MIA Festival.

A new Kansas State University study indicates that using sales transaction data in determining the value of Kansas farmland shows a higher – in some cases significantly higher – value for the land than the traditional survey method derived from producer estimates of farmland value.
"The current growth in land values and the many businesses and personal decisions affected by these values warranted more extensive analysis to obtain estimates that were less aggregated than either the state or crop reporting district-level values that were available," said K-State Research and Extension agricultural economist Mykel Taylor. "For this study, we obtained sales transaction data from the Kansas Property Valuation Department, which reflect agricultural land sales in Kansas."

Enabling BYOD with Application Streaming and Client Virtualization
Intel IT has determined that enabling devices we recognize as nonstandard, such as bring-your-own-devices (BYODs), with application streaming or client virtualization offers the most productive computing environment at the lowest cost. In use cases involving new acquisitions, offsite development centers (ODCs), and standalone subsidiaries, users work on BYODs that are not managed by Intel IT. We can give these users access to Intel resources in one of two ways: provision Intel standard equipment for side-by-side use with existing nonstandard devices or deliver a secure computing environment to existing nonstandard devices. The latter has proved to be the best option for us.
To determine that application streaming and client virtualization work best for nonstandard devices in our defined use cases (new acquisitions, ODCs, and standalone subsidiaries), we conducted two proof of concepts (PoCs):
• PoC 1. We assigned users either a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) or a client virtualization solution and then compared the costs and user experiences. Client virtualization surpassed VDI in both areas when applied to these use cases.
• PoC 2. We set up users with an application streaming solution and found that the majority responded favorably to the installation, operation, and overall user experience.
Based on the results from these PoCs, we ruled out VDI as an approach for our defined use cases because of its expense and unsatisfactory user experience. Application streaming worked best for users who were working on applications that did not require high levels of computing power or were not graphic-intensive. Client virtualization worked best for users who required high-levels of customization and who needed to work offline. We developed a decision tree that we now apply each time we consider one of these use cases.

A little buggy with V1.0. With the release of V1.1 this app is awesome!. Very pleased with the app and the support was quick to answer my questions.
Tags only supports Leopard, says so in the FAQ.
As of 090120: Doesn't say anywhere on the developer's site, neither here, that this application means no go for people using anything less than OS X 10.5.

Starting today, "gluten-free" labels on packaged foods have real meaning.
Under new FDA labeling guidelines that take effect today, items labeled "gluten free" must contain less than 20 parts per million of gluten. That will ensure that those products are technically free of wheat, rye and barley. Under the old rule, wheat had to be labeled on food packages but barley and rye did not.
The new labeling regulations do not apply to restaurants.

Hi, great app.
Have a small problem when using tsmuxer to stream. Playback is just as it should be, but tsmuxer crash on my pc 5-6 seconds before the file ends and I miss the last few seconds. Not really a problem on movies, but with tv series I get cut of right at cliffhangers.

At the end of March Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo played host to the 2nd annual Food & Wine Festival: 32 Tastes. 1 History. 1 Soul.. Three full days of activities, celebrity chefs, culinary presentations, food & wine tastings, brought together food lovers from all over, to enjoy the flavor and soul of Mexico.
Capella Ixtapa hosted two Food & Wine events, which I was excited to attend.
First there was a delicious Chocolate Tasting with Jose Ramón Castillo, a Chocolatier and TV host. Jose Ramón created a magnificent chocolate sculpture that still stands in the hotels reception area (the whole room smells like chocolate!). Meanwhile, guests had the opportunity to create and taste chocolate bonbons.
It was a great presentation- not only delicious, but informative. Some of the interesting facts I learned include:
– The word chocolate comes from the Aztecs, they called it 'xocolatl', and they used to drink it spicy.
– In Mexico we have two kinds of chocolate, the tropical one from Tabasco, and chocolate from the heights from Chiapas.
– 95% of chocolate that you can buy in the store is not from pure cocoa: to buy the real (and best) chocolate always check the back of the package: make sure it includes cocoa butter!
– Not only can chocolate be enjoyed with cava, champagne, but also along side an artisan beer, tequila or mezcal.
Next we moved into Capella Ixtapa's Terrace Bar and joined Mark Oldman for a Tequila Tasting. Did you know that you should enjoy tequila as wine – by sipping it? Mark revealed that today 75% of people drink tequila in a margarita, 15% drink it as shots, and 10% sip it (however, this number is growing). Tequila can even be paired with food. For example, Mark recommends having tequila añejo with some light food, like ceviche, to complement the flavor.
Tell me, do you love chocolate and tequila as much as I do? Please leave your comment or any questions below. Our Chefs and Sommelier will be happy to provide an answer for you.

A student's actual eligibility is determined by the lender and can be no more than the Summer 2015 cost of attendance. The student loan will not be processed until after a student is registered. Applications for 2015 summer financial aid will be available in March 2015.
June and July Term students without a current and valid student parking decal may purchase a summer parking decal at a $5.00 charge from the School of Law Business Office (this permit will be valid for both summer sessions).
Summer term applications for financial assistance will be available in March. Awards will begin being granted in April and proceed on a rolling basis throughout the summer. The priority deadline for applications is May 1 to ensure that loan deferments will be included on students' bills. Students will receive their award letters via their UConn email account. These letters must be accepted or declined, signed, and submitted to the Student Finance Office. All letters must be submitted two weeks before the end of any given session. If a student is applying for aid in both sessions, only one application is required.
A student must be registered for at least three (3) credits in any given session to be allowed living expenses for that session (e.g. a student who takes a two (2) credit SRP during session I and a two (2) credit SRP during session II will only be covered for the cost of the credits taken). A student who takes a three (3) credit SRP during any given session will have living expenses included only for the session in which the student is enrolled even if the work for the SRP extends past the end of the session.
Students who have applied for a loan for summer study will be given a deferment after registering and submitting the appropriate loan application to the Student Finance Office. The charges for summer courses are fees, not tuition and as such, under University procedures these fees do not qualify for tuition remission. Students must be registered for at least three (3) credits to qualify for private loans. A student's actual eligibility is determined by the lender and can be no more than the cost of attendance. The student loan will not be processed until after a student is registered.
If you are planning to study abroad through another law school's program, contact the Student Finance Office immediately. Permission from the associate dean for academic affairs at the Law School is required. A consortium agreement must also be sent to the host school.
If you are receiving a PILG Grant for the summer, this will be considered part of your financial aid package. The total of all aid, including a PILG Grant, cannot exceed your cost of attendance. The cost of attendance cannot be increased based on expenses incurred while earning a PILG Grant. If your PILG Grant is for work outside of Connecticut, costs incurred for living expenses cannot be added to the cost of attendance. This is mandated by federal regulations.
Students formally enrolled in the Law School are eligible for summer financial aid. Students entering the School of Law in the Fall 2015 are NOT eligible for summer courses or summer financial aid funding. Students enrolled at another ABA approved law school, auditors and special students are ineligible for summer financial aid funding through the Law School.
Federal Direct Stafford Loans require that students must have borrowed less than a total of $20,500 during the fall 2014 and spring 2015 semesters and be registered for at least six (6) summer credits.
Federal Direct Grad Plus Loans require students to be registered for at least six (6) summer credits (total).
Private alternative loans are generally based on the borrower's consumer credit history. Students enrolled less than half-time (less than 6 credits total) may not qualify for all types of alternative loan options. Lenders approve these loans based on the student's consumer credit history. An co-signer is sometimes an option. Information regarding suggested alternative loan programs and instructions on how to apply are available on the UConn website. The student must apply individually according to these instructions. Alternative loan applications are not originated by the Student Finance Office.

It's Honeybee Time in the Neighborhood!
The swarm was easy to gather. I backed the truck up right under the tree with an empty hive box in it. We shook the branch and the bees just dropped into the box. We put the lid on it and sat back to watch. The remaining bees slowly flew into the hive box and that night I drove it home (a block away) and we set them up in the back yard.
Today, a neighbor had his backyard hive swarm into a tree in his yard. He called me up and I went right over. He had a cardboard box which he shook the bees into and added the last remaining ones left on the branch by cutting a piece off and putting in the box too. We were both suited up so he handed the box down the ladder to me and we walked the box of bees the one block back to the homestead. We were quite a sight in our big white suits and hoods walking down the street carrying a box of bees. I had a hive box ready in the garden and we dumped the bees right into it. Immediately, they began to work the flowers in the garden. It was amazing! The irises were loaded with bees and so were the blackberry blossoms and fava flowers. Tonight they are tucked into their new home. You can hear it humming when you put your ear to the hive box. I love that sound.
The front porch hive extraction was not quite so easy.... The bees were very tolerant of all the hammering and cutting it took to get to them. It was a strangely cold day and so they were moving slow. Lots of filled honeycomb was in that little front porch.
My husband Paul was able to fit the natural comb into hive box frames using rubber bands. Eventually the bees filled out these frames and chewed off the rubber bands.
We were able to fit them right into the hive box, load them into the truck and take them out to a friend's farm three miles away. They stayed out there for a few weeks and then we brought them home. Had we just brought them home a block away they would have all flown back to our friend's porch!
It will be warm again tomorrow. I better get another hive box ready!

Wow, the rubberband trick is something I never would have considered! Very creative. Would be fun to watch what they do with it through glass in an observation hive.

I love doing swarm collection, but am not confident about cutting into buildings. Mostly not confident about repairing the damage.

We would never have cut into someone's house without the owner being responsible and not us. Our friends had been trying to figure out the best way to access the bees and so they were the ones doing the cutting. We helped them out by removing the bees. They did the repair work afterwards.

I believe that Shane explained himself pretty well here. Not once was he knocking the Ames crew or anything that they do. Actually I don't remember anybody ever denegrating you guys and all your hard work. Every club in this state takes pride in their courses, the work that goes into it, and the efforts to get it done. If you read any of the other threads you'll notice lots of joking and ribbing from players all over the state towards players from all over the state. It's just wierd to me that you guys are taking offense at us poking fun at a player from our league.

A couple of outraged philisophical questions
15.02.2012 - Europe likes to make life hard, creating situations where an idea must struggle mightily before it can achieve success, even when there is amore straightforward route (just look at the euro). Of course, in the world of biotechnology, this maxim can be applied pretty much everywhere (as we are masochistsin this trade), but the focus of my musings today are the topics of GMOs and embryonic stem cells.
Both have received hundreds of millions of euros from the public purse, yet continue to deliver a big fat zero to the European economy due to sloth and indecision on the part of those that control their fates.
In the case of GMOs, it has long been obvious that Europe was never going to bean economic generator for its research.The question for Europe is - why did we continue to invest public money in GMO technologies targeted at the field if wewere never going to get it back? Europe is now so far behind the rest of the world in food-crop GM technology that a euro spent is a euro wasted. We should have had the strength to either counteract anti-GMO claims immediately (too late now) or call the political bluff and say "stop the research funding for field-based GMOs." But instead, Europe did what Europealways does, creeping down the middlepath, trying to offend nobody while building a sub-optimal R&D base with no exploitation.
You might be asking yourself what has triggered this contemplation from somebody who usually supports biotech in all it's many forms. It was the closure of BASF Plant Science, at a German research base that has been open since 1914. This was no closure on an epic scale, just 140 jobs, but it tells you that the life has bled slowly from commercial research in Europe until the company finally just called it a day and went off to live in America. So Europe - spend your money on building a biotech sector that delivers a benefit you can measure, don't wait for it to die quietly while you fanny about appeasing politicians who are chasing re-election.
That brings me to the 2011 embryonic stem cell ruling - you must have heard me rolling my eyes from the other side of Brussels when that was announced. Welldone Europe! Once again we have taken a technology where the EU had a leg upand killed its commercial potential. This time it wasn't even due to a public outcry. European citizens generally like the idea of stem cells - they can see the possible benefits and understand in general what they do. But if the ruling isn't overturned, you might as well cancel the funding. If Europe cannot benefit economically, then there is no point in funding the science.There isn't enough money to fund biotech where the door is closed to a return. The sector has spent decades persuading people to part with large sums of cash for high-risk technology, and it cannot justify its existence if the gate to clinic and market has been shut.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/people/heard-in-brussels/2012-01/a-couple-of-outraged-philisophical-questions.html

PORTSMOUTH - A Hanover Street woman, who police say forcibly stole a purse from a supermarket shopper on Tuesday, promotes herself on a social media site as a lingerie and bikini model.
Police say Julia Konchek, 21, of 37 Hanover St., #2, "forcefully" stole a purse from a woman at the Woodbury Avenue Market Basket Tuesday afternoon, then struggled with the woman as the purse and contents fell to the floor. Video surveillance images of the struggle show Konchek's alleged accomplice, Kyle Roy, 25, of 1 Mission Road, Gardner, Mass., then taking the woman's wallet before both ran from the store, say police.
Both were arrested Wednesday night and are scheduled to be arraigned this morning in the Portsmouth Circuit Court on robbery charges.
On her facebook page, Konchek features dozens of images of herself modeling swimsuits and underwear and says she's been a model for six years. On a modeling trade blog, Konchek posted that she aspires to model in Playboy magazine.
Based on a tip, police stopped a car the couple was in Wednesday night and a search was launched after they fled from the scene, said police, They were later found hiding in a residential basement, according to Lt. Russell Russo.

They did the Mash.
Our monthlong Monster Mash contest, which started out as a field of 32 ferocious fiends, was a delightfully ghoulish game — where only the strong survived.
Freddy, Jason, Jaws, Alien, Chucky and dozens of other top contenders entered the ring. But, eventually, we were left with just two standing — all-time heavyweights Godzilla and King Kong battling it in out in the final.
Now, well, the king is dead.
Godzilla is officially the Greatest Monster of All Time. And it wasn't even close. Godzilla, who had been dominant throughout the competition, received some 80 percent of the popular vote in the final.
We'd like to thank all the readers who voted online to determine the eventual winner. It was a fun round of five and, while we didn't always agree with the selections, we wholeheartedly endorse your decision to crown Godzilla as the champ.
You certainly can't knock the Lizard King's credentials.
Since making his debut nearly 60 years ago, in his self-named 1954 Japanese film, Godzilla has remained one of the world's most popular (and easily recognizable) monsters. He's appeared in some 30 films, as well as in TV shows, comic books and novels, and survived confrontations with such killer creatures as Mothra, the Smog Monster, the three-headed Ghidrah and, yes, King Kong — in the 1962 film "King Kong vs. Godzilla." (He once even battled Bambi, in 1969's twisted cartoon short "Godzilla Meets Bambi" — but probably the less said about that the better.)
In hindsight, we now realize that the title of his first film said it all — "Godzilla, King of Monsters." Now, voters have confirmed that Godzilla is indeed the greatest of them all.
Happy Halloween and, as Blue Oyster Cult once said, "Go Go Godzilla!"

they shouldn't tighten because it is not going to stop anything there are so many guns out there that they will not be able to stop any thing not only that it is not only guns that cause deaths it is many things the crime rate will stay the same so people will get a bat and start killing that way so what next to ban all the other things people kill with it is stupid it makes no sense at all. so someone goes out and kills with a dumb bell oh now lets ban all exercise equipment. that's how dumb this situation is if they ban guns how will we protect our family if some one breaks in with a gun and you don't have one so you sit there and watch your family suffer . if you had a gun you will be able to shoot and save yourself and your family
Primary tabs
Should the United States tighten gun-control laws?
17 Comments
Gun controls should be tighten everywhere because of the increasing rate in crimes. Life really does mimic art sometimes. For instance, more than a decade ago, comic Chris Rock suggested in a stand-up routine that if bullets were made too expensive, there would be much fewer shootings. Cook County, Illinois, seems to agree, which is why that region, which Chicago occupies, is proposing a bullet tax that would help defray the costs of crime. Source for this article: are there any real payday loans
Sorry I missed these:
"If you don't want a background check, go to a gun show."
By far and away, purchases at gun shows require a background check. I do agree with you that there should be some type of legislation to require all purchases at gun shows require a background check. The issue is that at the same time the universal background check that is purposed would also include sales/transfers to family and heirs. Placing an unneeded financial burden on individuals.
"If you hear voices that the gov. is going to take over, have your friend buy you a gun."
@M Caudill,
"If it makes you feel more like a man, buy a gun."
Why exactly do you imply that persons that want to own a firearm want to feel like a man? Do you have any idea how many women in this country own firearms? And does this ridiculous statement actually add anything to the discussion?
If you don't want a background check, go to a gun show.
If you hear voices that the gov. is going to take over, have your friend buy you a gun.
'If you don't want to be responsible for the gun, let it lie around the house so the kids can play with it.'
This is actually a good point, one that the majority of legal firearm owners live by, they do secure their firearms.
"Carry it in the car so you can scare the next s.o.b. that cuts you off."
Legal firearm owners do not do this, as it is illegal. Do you honestly think legal owners are wandering about on a daily basis with their legal firearms in public view?
"After all, you are a man, you own a gun."
Yes, I am a man. And I own legal firearms, and I, like other legal owners are not doing the things you suggest.
I also don't need 30 rounds to kill a deer. I may however need 30 rounds to stop multiple criminals invading my home in the middle of the night. And let us not forget that the courts have ruled that the police have no legally enforceable mandate to protect citizens from crime.
Oh yeah, if a group of criminals are entering my house, I should call 911 and wait for the police. Who can then investigate the murder of my family and myself. Because I only had 7 rounds in a firearm (yes, not a semi-automatic). That all sounds good to me.
It frightens me so many don't see that voting to restrict gun sales based on mental health is also a way for the government to disarm us. This can be applied to many of our fellow veterans that have simply sought treatment at the VA for PTSD or related. Any vet that has taken an anti-depressant or taken a sleep aid could all be relegated to this status. Surely, no one is suggesting that we take away the gun rights of the people that were sent to fight and put in harms way for us. Am I correct in assuming The the American Legion shares this stance?
There is a thrust today to limit the individual and enhance the state. That's what gun control is. If the second amendment acknowledges a God-given right then no more tests or restrictions should be on its exercise than that of the franchise.
I am a Vietnam Vet. and a hunter, but I do not see the need for assault type or large clips for anybody not in the service, or police use. I do not need 60 or 100 rounds to drop a deer. If they want guns as souvenirs then have the barrels filled, welded closed,and useless. If a crime is commited with a gun , there should be a manditory death penility, even if the gun was not fired. No insanity plea, if they use a gun, eliminate the person and end of the problem. Other than that, let everyone have a gun let's go back the old west, you will only maybe get one shot, if you are fast enough, we have too many people anyway! Which sounds better??
If the underworld agrees not to outgun us in their home invasions and whatever else they plan, then your opinion about banning the more effective guns makes sense. Empirical evidence shows that if having many armed people is going back to the old west, then we should indeed go there because the more guns there are about, the less crime seems to occur.
If it makes you feel more like a man, buy a gun.
If you don't want a background check, go to a gun show.
If you hear voices that the gov. is going to take over, have your friend buy you a gun.
If you don't want to be responsible for the gun, let it lie around the house so the kids can play with it.
Carry it in the car so you can scare the next s.o.b. that cuts you off.
After all, you are a man, you own a gun.
M Caudill - some of those things are happening now and adding more laws are not going to change them.
if you cant get a car from a private dealer without paperwork you shouldnt get a assault rifle either pure dumbness
It is not about gun control, It is about getting a foot in the door to abolish the second amendment. They know that if they can get one amendment changed they can change the rest of them and then abolish our constitution. Does anyone wonder what comes next after they disarm all of America? What part of " Shall not be infringed" does nobody understand?
Nobody has said that "they" are going to take your guns away. Go back inside your bubble.
Actually they have. Senator Feinstein and Governor Cuomo have both brought this up. Feinstein wants to ban assult weapons but grandfather them until the current owners' death when they will have to be surrendered to the government and they cannot be sold or transfered.
Cuomo indicated the state will likely force some kind of permit process on owners of semi-automatic "assault weapons." In addition to generating revenue and expanding the size and reach of government, the effort will allow the state to confiscate the weapons of citizens who do not comply.
"Confiscation could be an option. Mandatory sale to the state could be an option. Permitting could be an option — keep your gun but permit it," Governor Cuomo said.
They need to enforce the laws they already have
It was stated on the news about a month ago that CA has about 19000 felons that they now about that have weapons but they can't go after them because they don't have the money. So what good are new laws. The bad guys do not obey them in the first place. Fienstein's assult weapons ban would ban almost every weapon I have. It is not about AR style weapons which are only semiautomatic and I had a 22 w2hen I was 10 that my grandfather got me through Sears mail order and that was 60 yrs ago. Non of my weapons has killed any one and I have one in the closet and it still has not moved from the time I put it there.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Delcie Light has been married for 53 years to Bill Light. They have three grown children: Christiane is a V.P. at Universal-NBC in California, Bill is an attorney in Manhattan Beach CA, and Jim lives in Devils Lake and owns and operates Computer Clinic. The Light's enjoy 8 grandchildren.
Delcie earned a B.S. from NDSU and a M.S. from UND. She has taught people from 3-73, but mostly teenagers for 25 years at DLHS.
She enjoys family (including a dog and two cats), home, flowers, watching kids and critters, travel, living in North Dakota with 4 seasons, reading, writing, researching (the wonders of a computer!), and genealogy.
Honesty first---I taught a total of nearly 30 years. In that time, I had students from age 3 to 73. Twenty five years was in Devils Lake, about five years in junior high and over twenty with seniors. I am pro-public education.
I posted a Kahlil Gibran poem yesterday. The first lines are:
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself.
Two lines in the second stanza read:
You may give them your love, but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
I believe it is a parent's job to raise Adults, not eternal children. It is our duty to raise our kids to be informed and involved citizens, not brainwashed to believe as we do, but to becitizens who can think for themselves, people who are prepared for a future that will be very different from the present. We need to teach kids to question everything and everyone; to be people who are not obedient automatons. People who as adults will not be victims of dictators, false prophets, and scam artists. Remember Nazi Germany and other totalitarian states? Orderly obedience led to Hell for many.
Kids who "have their own thoughts" says the poet. These thoughts should based on accurate information, not propaganda or biased emotionalism.
We should strive try to raise people who are lifelong learners. To do so we strive to meet the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual needs of our kids. We strive to give them good food and rest; security and safety; love, support, and discipline; connections with friends, family, pets, and neighbors. We encourage reading and let them chose their own books. We encourage curiosity when we take them out of doors and provide experiences and lessons in nature, geography, art, music, architecture, engineering and history as often as we can. We parents know a wide range of subjects, but we cannot be knowledgeable about all topics.
Are we prepared to know how place and life experiences influenced a writer? Are we informed about the era of a piece of literature? Can we help identify irony, sarcasm, hyperbole, symbolism, analogy, themes, motifs, and the many other literary devices that enrich literature? What about rhyme scheme, haiku, sonnets, odes, and numerous other forms of poetry?
I have a Master's Degree, but I am no expert in physics or trigonometry. I thoroughly enjoy the biological sciences, the social science and geomety, but I am not prepared to take my own children as far as they can go, or have gone, in advances mathematics and the physical sciences.
I do not believe that anyone who keeps her kids home is doing right by her kids. There is a difference between "schooling" and "education." "Schooling" is imposed---"education" is drawing out (e=from, duct=a tube)
Recently, the Home Schoolers raised a fuss in Bismarck over their kids taking the achievment tests kids who attend school have to take. WHY? What are they afraid of?
They said "We teach a different way." So what? The children either learn the material and about people, or they don't. The method and materials are hardly the issue, although some of the materials deny science and have rewritten history.
Memorizing is NOT being educated. It is the lowest form of learning. Spelling Bees and geography contests are great fun, but not education. They do not require questioning, observing, theorizing and testing the theory, logic, and that wonderful quality---curiosity.
Public Schools are not perfect. No one, nor any system, can be "all things to all people." But in schools, kids have the opportunity to hear various points of view, meet a variety of people, and learn to negotiate to get along with people of different incomes, values, abilities, talents, heritages, families. At the high school and above level, their teachers are specialists in the subject matter. This variety is preparation for LIFE.
Seven billion people occupy this planet. We must learn to get along, to share and protect the earth's resouces. We must learn to discern the difference between truth and bias, spin, charged language and just plain mis-information. We must learn to respect each other, and set a goal of Peace for All. We do not learn that by staying in the shelter of home. We do not have the wide variety of experiences the world and a variety of teachers and classes has to offer.
I know a woman who dropped out of high school and ran away who home "schools." I know another who works full time 30 miles from her home who claims she "home schools." Her kids are home alone all day. I know another family who are educated and who farm. Their kids are bright, well read, well mannered, but they have few social skills.
Again, "Your children are not your children but ....Life's longing for itself." "They have their own thoughts." Rejoice! Encourage them to be free, to read and think, to be discerning, to be accepting of differences, to be kind to all. Let them become themselves.

Police said a 51-year-old man drowned in the northern town of Kumanovo after being swept away Monday while trying to cross a river. His body was discovered Tuesday by rescue crews in the mountainous Balkan nation.
Roughly 300 homes were flooded in the village of Josifovo, 100 kilometers (60 miles) south of the capital of Skopje. Hundreds more houses and commercial buildings were inundated in the southern village of Dabile, where the fire brigade was evacuating elderly residents.
The central Pistica dam was described as being in a "critical" situation, with authorities concerned it could collapse. Nearby, thousands of hectares (acres) of fields were flooded and 20,000 people were without electricity in the town of Sveti Nikole, the National Crisis Management Center said.
A swollen river swept away two bridges in the central part of the country, stranding a village of 1,500 people, while rockslides in several parts of eastern Macedonia blocked roads. Authorities also urged the 40,000 residents in the central town of Stip not to drink tap water due to the contamination of wells by floods.
Meteorologists said the rain would not stop until Thursday.

It's time for Oakland Mayor Jean Quan to seriously address the city's looming financial crisis.
Halfway through her four-year term, she has yet to propose a plan that makes the difficult cuts needed to balance the books, start repaying huge debts and put more cops back on the street.
From the day she took office, Quan knew the budget posed her greatest challenge. Yet it took her almost two years to produce what was billed as a five-year financial plan.
She rolled it out in October with much fanfare, touting a "conservative, cautiously optimistic picture of the challenges that still lie ahead." She added, "Looking forward, I've prioritized public safety and economic development. ... By holding two police academies every year, and investing in job creation, we can grow the Oakland economy for everyone."
- Borenstein: Latest Oakland pension plan continues fiscal recklessness
- Borenstein: Oakland pension plan irresponsible, morally wrong
- Borenstein: Oakland pension plan is not responsible
- Borenstein: Oakland may have to double down its faulty bet
- Borenstein:Oakland residents pay huge hidden pension tax
- Borenstein: Oakland faces a recipe for fiscal disaster
But the "plan" is really just a forecast -- and a grim one at that. There's nothing optimistic about it.
To her credit, Quan went further than predecessor Ron Dellums, who simply ignored the problem. She also deserves kudos for building into her assumptions increased police staffing of 25 percent by 2017-18. Any hope of economic growth hinges on restoring a sense that Oakland is a safe place to live and work.
But Quan provides no realistic financial road map, except perhaps driving Oakland deeper into debt.
As she expands the police force, she drives up costs far beyond what the city can afford.
Without major cuts elsewhere, Oakland's general fund would have a structural deficit that, by the Quan administration's forecast, would grow to about $152 million annually by 2017-18. Put another way, the city would have only about 75 percent of the money needed to pay general fund bills.
That's fiscal suicide, the sort of path that's landing other California cities in bankruptcy court. Something must give. Many things must give.
It's not just the annual cash flow that's a problem. It's also the city's huge debt, on which it must make payments that are a key contributor to the yearly imbalance. Those payments will grow if city leaders don't address the underlying liabilities.
Most of the debt isn't for assets, such as buildings and roads, that have future value. It's for employee retirement programs that should have been fully funded, along with salaries and other benefits, when the workers performed the labor.
Right now, Oakland has a staggering $2 billion liability for underfunded pension and retiree health benefits. The city makes payments to retire some of that liability over an absurdly long 30 years.
For other parts, Oakland does not cover even the minimum installments, thereby driving the city deeper in debt. Either way, current city leaders are unfairly pushing a huge liability onto future generations.
The mayor deceptively claims Oakland has been "paying down" those unfunded liabilities. Indeed, for one major pension debt, the city floated bonds and applied the proceeds to reduce its obligation to the retirement fund. But now it must repay the bond holders. In other words, it just shifted the burden from one credit card to another.
Amazingly, Quan's five-year plan suggests Oakland might continue to underfund its retirement payments and not perform needed infrastructure improvements. That means higher costs in the future -- kicking the can down the road and watching it expand along the way.
When she released her "plan" in October, Quan promised a follow-up report this spring with recommendations for balancing the budget long-term. That's what we've been waiting for since she took office in January 2011.
There is no magic solution. Tax increases might need to be part of the mix. But city residents already pay unusually high rates, including a hidden 16 percent surcharge on property taxes just to help cover one of the city's retirement debts. And no tax increase could come close to bridging the huge budget gap.
Most of the solution lies in tough cuts and major rethinking of the services Oakland can afford to provide. But that will require strong vision and leadership, something we have yet to see from Quan.

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants have five key players on the disabled list, including a leadoff hitter, Angel Pagan, who seems headed for surgery. Until they're at full strength, manager Bruce Bochy has said, contributions will have to come from all corners of the clubhouse.
Gregor Blanco, Hector Sanchez and Sandy Rosario were among those who stepped up Saturday, carrying the Giants to a 2-1 extra-innings win over the Miami Marlins that was sorely needed. The Giants had lost nine straight to the Marlins at AT&T Park before Sanchez brought home Blanco with a bases-loaded, pinch-hit single in the 11th inning.
"It's one of those exhausting games, a much-needed win for the guys," Bochy said. "They wanted it. It's good for these guys because they've been fighting."
For a year and two months, the Giants often had Pagan throwing the first punch. But the center fielder has a small tear in a tendon attached to his left hamstring and would miss six to eight weeks if he opts for surgery. Blanco has taken over the leadoff spot in Pagan's absence and has a .365 on-base percentage since May 25, the day Pagan played his last game.
"He's doing a great job," Bochy said. "He's a gifted defender and really, really has gotten his confidence at the plate. He brings so much energy to the club, and that's what you love about him."
Blanco had three hits, including a strange double in the fifth inning that tied the game. With Barry Zito on first and two outs, Blanco hit a drive to deep right field that bounced off the warning track and was grabbed by a fan sitting in the arcade section. Zito was rounding third when the ball disappeared and was awarded home plate despite the objections of Marlins manager Mike Redmond, who was ejected after arguing that Zito should have been placed on third.
Bochy had his own argument, saying Zito would have scored easily and Blanco, who was put on second base, had a shot at an inside-the-park homer.
"I was going for four, for sure," said Blanco, who has multiple hits in six of his last 10 games. "I feel like I know what I'm capable of doing. I can do good things on offense. A lot of people talk about my defense and speed and baserunning, but I want people to talk about my offense. I know I can do some damage."
The Giants did little damage after Blanco's double, going hitless in their next 15 at-bats. But Zito and the bullpen kept the Giants in the game.
Pitching just three days after the death of his father, Zito gave up one run over seven innings to lower his ERA at AT&T Park to 1.98.
"I just tried to minimize distractions," he said. "Some things are a little heavier than others. Today, I was able to go out there and stay focused and give this team a chance to win."
Having lost three of the first five games of this homestand, Bochy managed with a sense of urgency after Zito was pulled. Sergio Romo made just his second eighth-inning appearance of the season and got five outs to get the Giants into the 10th inning. The Marlins put two runners on with one out in the 10th, but Rosario entered and struck out Justin Ruggiano and Ed Lucas. They put two more runners on in the 11th, but Hunter Pence made a diving catch of Placido Polanco's two-out sinking liner to right.
"You know what's on the line there," Pence said. "(Polanco) is really good at hitting those soft line drives. He's made a living of doing that. Fortunately, I was able to get there."
The catch sealed Rosario's fourth straight outing of at least 12/3 innings. The veteran has found a niche in the struggling Giants bullpen, giving up just one run on four hits while throwing 82/3 innings in his last four appearances, with 11 strikeouts.
"What a gutty effort by Romo and Rosario," Bochy said. "They gave us a chance."
Blanco took advantage, reaching on an infield single to lead off the 11th and getting to third on a bunt and another infield single. Sanchez, recently called up from Triple-A Fresno, ended the long day with a soft liner to left, the third walk-off hit of his career.
The walk-off win was the eighth of the year for the Giants, who got the winning hit from their backup catcher and the winning run from a player who started the year in a platoon. The winning pitcher was Rosario, who was traded once and waived three times in the offseason.
"It takes all of us, it takes everything," Pence said. "We found a way to get it done today."
"I'll make sure I'm 100 percent," he said. "It's a tough injury. It doesn't happen often. It's a very annoying injury because every time you move you feel it."

Some say it's a matter of life and death: the turnover rate of Aiken County emergency workers.
They're leaving at a high rate to work for smaller counties who pay more.
Last year Aiken County EMS was short 9 workers.
County council passed a 17 percent pay raise to change that.
Now EMS is short 14 workers.
The county is trying to figure out what's going wrong.
After a year on the job, Mike King will work his last shift for Aiken County EMS on Thursday.
"Basically it was a salary issue," says King. "I was offered more money to do the same job in another county."
Mike is taking a job for the smaller Saluda County that pays 30 percent more.
Despite a recent raise, 18 percent of Aiken County EMS workers quit last year.
Al Gunter, who left Aiken County EMS in October, is making more money working for Barnwell County.
But he says the high turnover isn't just about dollars.
"It's quite obvious that it's not an issue with pay. There is a problem there with management," Gunter says.
And this issue affects everyone in Aiken County.
"There's people actually dying today because of these inadequacies," Gunter says.
If too many calls come in at once, ambulances would have to be called in from Aiken, which could take 45 minutes. In the case of a heart attack, that could be too long.
Aiken County Administrator Clay Killian is aware of the issue.
"We've been working with Aiken Tech on some training programs," Killian says. "They've got some ideas for us that we're trying to develop how to present to the committee in a couple of weeks."
But Killian wouldn't tell us what changes he'd like to see before the meeting.
Proctor Bush is on the committee that will hear Killian's ideas and says this all comes down to pay.
"A lot of people pay more to have their hair cut, to have their lawn mowed, have their house cleaned than they're willing to pay someone who will save their life," says Bush.
But all agree, whatever's wrong needs to be fixed soon.
The committee meeting to discuss the EMS issues is March 14th.
If you compare basic EMT pay in South Carolina counties right now, Aiken County is still behind.
Pay for Aiken County basic EMT workers starts at about $9 an hour; or, with their built in overtime, about $26,000 a year.
Edgefield County has one-sixth the population and one-fourth the amount of square mileage. But EMT pay there starts at about $11 an hour.
In Saluda County, which is slightly smaller than Edgefield County, EMT pay starts at $41,000 a year.

Todd, the inventor of the Stokemonkey says, "Your timely and appropriate shifting permits the motor to operate within a small band of powerful and efficient speeds at all times. This is key."
As a roadie, I was reminded of that saying, "stay on top of the gear" and found Bettie's sweet spot within a few minutes of riding. When the Stokemonkey bogged down a bit, I'd shift, and the motor assist would pick up speed again. After a few longer rides, I could tell how well the Stokemonkey was operating by the vibrations in the seat tube and also hear it cranking away. In the video, I'm rolling up a gently sloped, 5% grade hill.

PASADENA -- The Cal offense took the heat for this one.
After a 37-10 loss to No. 11 UCLA in front of 84,272 fans at the Rose Bowl, Cal quarterback Jared Goff called the performance of the defense "stellar."
And if that was perhaps generous, certainly it was an improved effort by a unit that has been one of the nation's worst.
The offense, meanwhile, scored 10 points in a second-quarter burst but otherwise was quiet.
"They gave us a chance to win and we didn't capitalize on it," Goff said of the defense's work. "That's probably mainly on me. If the offense doesn't play well, it's my fault."
Sonny Dykes, the first Cal coach to start 1-5 in his debut season since Mike White in 1972, was disappointed the offense couldn't get much done.
"We haven't put a solid football game together all year where we played well on both sides of the ball," Dykes said.
The Bears (1-5, 0-3 Pac-12) still haven't beaten a Football Bowl Subdivision opponent since a 31-17 win at Washington State a year ago today.
UCLA (5-0, 2-0) flipped the script from a year ago when it came to Berkeley and was pummeled 43-17.
That night produced the worst game of quarterback Brett Hundley's freshman season. He was intercepted four times and sacked five more.
Hundley was in charge Saturday, hit 31 of 41 passes for a career-high 410 yards with three touchdowns. He completed 11 of his first 12 passes attempts as the Bruins jumped out to a 10-0 first-quarter lead.
"Great player," Cal linebacker Hardy Nickerson Jr. said "He can extend plays, is good on his feet."
Cal geared its defense to try stopping the run, and did a pretty solid job. The Bruins gained just 78 yards rushing on 34 carries, an average of 2.3 yards per attempt.
"We're taking steps in the right direction," Nickerson said of the defense, which entered the game allowing 45.0 points per game, second-worst in the nation. "Overall, I think we got better as a defense."
The Bears simply didn't have an answer for Hundley.
"We wanted to make them one-dimensional," Dykes said, "and he did a good job."
Meanwhile, the Bears' offense sputtered. They were 0 for 8 on third-down tries in the first half, just 4 for 17 for the game. And they were responsible for most of the team's nine penalties for 87 yards.
Cal's 320 yards and 80 plays both were season lows.
"Not a very clean game, offensively," Dykes said.
Goff, who passed for a school-record 504 yards the week before against Washington State, was 26 for 43 for 215 yards. He had an interception and a lost fumble, both in the second half, preventing the Bears from mounting a comeback while the defense was settling in a bit.
Dykes and offensive coordinator Tony Franklin tweaked things for this game, replacing Brendan Bigelow with freshman Khalfani Muhammad as the No. 1 running back. Muhammad had just 14 first-half yards on six rushes, but finished with 63. Daniel Lasco added 39 on six attempts, including a 6-yard burst for Cal's only touchdown with 2:35 left in the first half.
Bigelow was moved to slot receiver and caught two passes for 18 yards.
Meanwhile, tight end-turned slot receiver Richard Rodgers got six rushing attempts out of a power formation in short-yardage situations -- the first time he's run the ball since high school. He converted the first three for first downs, but was stuffed on the next three.
For the first time all season, Cal's defense did not allow the opposition to score a touchdown on its first possession of the game. The Bruins settled for a field goal.
But some things didn't change. UCLA's 10-0 lead added to the Bears' slow-start issues. Cal has been outscored 96-31 in the first quarter.
And UCLA, ahead 24-10 at halftime, still hasn't allowed a point in the third quarter. After a pair of field goals pushed the margin to 30-10, UCLA's season ledger for the third period is 71-0.
-- Vincenzo D'Amato's season-long 51-yard field goal makes him 12 for 13 on the season. Punter Cole Leininger averaged 43.4 yards on seven kicks.
-- Dykes said the Bears came out of the game relatively injury-free, although Lasco banged up his shoulder. Receiver Bryce Treggs left the game early after a big hit to his thigh, but returned to play the rest of the night.

PLEASANT HILL -- James Leventhal of Albany and Tonya Johnston of Berkeley were two of the honorees at John F. Kennedy University's Alumni of the Year luncheon on March 2 at the school's Pleasant Hill campus.
Leventhal, the deputy director and director of development at Jewish Contemporary Museum in San Francisco, graduated in 2009 with a master's degree from the JFK museum studies program, one of the only MBA's available in that specialty in the country. The Columbia, Md., native has also worked at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Judah L. Magnes Museum in Berkeley.
His first museum job was at the Baltimore Museum of Art when he was in high school.
Leventhal, 43, said one of the things he learned in graduate school is that in the modern economy, museums aren't any different from any other part of the service sector and they, like many companies, need to look at the "triple bottom line." That's where companies measure themselves not just by profit, but by customer service and their effect on the world.
Leventhal described museums in the business world as a "cultural nonprofit service economy."
"Museums are a perfect example of the cultural component of the service sector of the economy, he said. "It's about customer service, understanding market, understanding needs."
Another component is reaching customers through social media and modern communication.
"(It's) an understanding that you need to go where your customers are," he said, which requires "a strong focus on being aligned with (your) mission and making sure that you are meeting the triple bottom line: People planet and profit."
Leventhal is married with a 6-year old son. "We moved to the Bay Area to raise a family," he said.
The Museum Studies program is located at JFK University's Berkeley campus, in the building that used to house the Heinz 57 plant.
Johnston, also 43, grew up in Santa Barbara with a love of horses and equestrian sports. One of the things she became interested in as a competitor was sports psychology, a field that was in its infancy when she was growing up.
"It was fascinating for me to watch riders compete at a very high level," Johnston said. "How did they manage themselves? I would look for nonverbal cues when they walked into the ring. And as a result of my own sort of struggles and endeavoring to understand myself, that was part of the equation. In my teens I was interested in that."
Johnston continued competing while earning a psychology degree from UC Santa Cruz. She then moved to the Bay Area to earn her master's degree in sports psychology from JFK in 1993. She is now a mental skills coach working with clients one-on-one and holding clinics around the country for a clientele of mostly elite equestrian competitors. She recently had her first book published, "Inside Your Ride: Mental Skills For Being Happy and Successful With Your Horse."
"It's really helping them develop tools to perform," Johnston said. "To have a mental routine that helps get them to feel confident and more consistent when they're riding. Stay in the moment so you're not thinking too far ahead to prepare yourself. Your horse is an absolute mirror of what is in your head."
Johnston said one of her favorite parts of the sports psychology program was working at a camp through the university that uses sports psychology to teach life skills to incarcerated teens. Students in the program intern at the camp and Johnston stayed on as director for over 10 years.
Johnston, who is engaged to be married in August, has an 8-year old daughter and two future stepdaughters.
The other honorees were: Piedmont High School Principal Richard Kitchens; Valla Hoffman, administrative law judge for the state Department of Healthcare Services; Ceylan Hulya and Lisa Rasmussen, who cofounded Art 4 All People; Primo (P.J.) Quesada, vice president of Marketing at Ramar Foods; and Dennis Wade, veterans program administrator for Anka Behavioral Health.
