I hesitate to broach so raw and distressing a subject. But, a whole generation of young men, black males in particular, are being psychologically shattered by a "culture of rape," which growing evidence shows, is actually fostered by prison officials in the United States.

If You Want Super-Smart Kids, Marry a Pygmy
However, if you happen to be a pygmy, that is, one of the small-statured ethnicities of central Africa, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, then your best bet is probably to marry someone from Sweden or the Ukraine. It confounds me that some researchers still talk of racial differences in intelligence. They operate from the disproved premise that those with the highest levels of cognitive functioning will be those of inbred European ancestry.

Memories of Tokyo During Cherry Blossom Season
My eyes well up with tears, when I remember Tokyo from years past, during cherry blossom season. The city streets at the end of March would be packed with tourists, from other parts of Japan and abroad, who had come to enjoy the sakura or "cherry blossoms." Because these delicate flowers have short lives, they represent "impermanence" within the Buddhist culture of Japan.
This season, called Hanami or "flower-viewing," is celebrated by gathering together friends and family for picnics beneath the blooming sakura trees, which are everywhere. However, this year, the crowds of foreign tourists will be thin, as officials struggle to gain control of a nuclear meltdown at reactors less than 150 miles from Tokyo, and the Japanese bury loved ones in mass graves caused by the earthquake-tsunami disaster. What hasn't changed is the message, which cherry-blossom viewers have been asked to ponder for the past two thousand years. It is the transient nature of life.
Sakura, Sakura is one of Japan's most popular traditional songs.
Why Hasn't the Meltdown in the Nuclear Industry, Sparked More Serious Discussion about Solar Energy?
"Solar energy" has apparently become the most vulgar term in the English language, to be avoided as though it were a racial epithet.

Let's Spare Young Justin Bieber, the "Michael Jackson Syndrome"
Sooner or later this year, a jury will determine whether Dr. Conrad Murray, the physician charged in the drug overdose death of Michael Jackson, was guilty of involuntary manslaughter. Whatever the decision taken in a court of law, the fact remains that this man could only have been an accomplice to murder. The real perpetrator is still at large, combing the planet in search of tender, new victims. In fact, that perpetrator is us, the "adoring" public. We colluded with Michael Jackson's parents to rip and tear away the fabric of this sensitive young artist's childhood. And then we stood back and laughed at what we had created, a young man as disjointed as a Picasso painting. What have we in store for Justin Bieber?

Where Do I Sign up for the Anti-Nuclear Movement?
What a relief! My Japanese friends have all been accounted for. Fortunately, none of them were near the northeast coast of Japan when the triple disaster, earthquake-tsunami-nuclear reactor malfunction, struck. But these are harrowing times for everyone in Japan as they struggle to put their lives back together.
As for me, the nuclear reactor near-meltdowns at Fukushima have me freaked. MetropolitanTokyo has a population of 35 million, and the Fukushima nuclear plant is only 150 miles up the road. Radiation has now been detected in the milk and spinach coming from that part of the country.

How Sarah Palin & Michele Bachmann Made Me Re-assess Condi Rice
When President George W. Bush appointed Dr. Condoleezza Rice, to become the new Secretary of State in January of 2005, I was mad as hell. I too had grown up in a black Republican family, but had parted company with the GOP when the liberal wing of the party collapsed. Condi Rice was by all accounts an intelligent, well-educated and multi-talented woman. However, having been instrumental in the decision-making that led to the disastrous war in Iraq, Rice's performance in my estimation was not that of a geo-political strategist at work. It was rather that of a woman, who was soulless and lost, the empty clatter of wooden shutters hitting the sides of an abandoned house. Her loyalty to the Bush family also nettled me. Rice spent holidays at their home, entertaining them with her classical music playing on the piano. In one unguarded moment, the new Secretary of State even referred to President Bush as her "husb---". This woman was too much the loyal court retainer.

Mystery Surrounds Murder of Jewish Family at Itamar
An Israeli girl returned home Friday night to find her parents, and three of the family's six children stabbed to death in their beds, including a three-month old infant. The Fogel family lived in the Jewish settlement of Itamar, located on the Palestinian West Bank. Both Israeli and Palestinian leaders expressed shock and horror at the murders. But even before the full investigation into the murders had been launched, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a massive expansion of illegal Jewish-only settlements in the occupied West Bank, punishing the Palestinians for what he termed "incitement." A Senior aide to Prime Minister Netanyahu declared: "The Palestinian leadership must be held accountable for continued incitement and failure to stop the glorification of murderers." That same day, Israeli officials released to the public, bloody photographs of the murdered family, presumably for "informational purposes."

The Tsunami in Japan
the largest earthquake in recorded history. Measuring 8.9 on the Richter scale, the temblor produced a tsunami, which devastated Sendai, a beautiful city on the northeast coast. It was known by the Japanese as the "City of Trees" (杜の都, Mori no Miyako), on account of the stately zelkova trees, lining Jōzenji (定禅寺通 ) and Aoba Streets (青葉通). The miniaturized version of these trees have been immortalized in bonsai plantings.
I am still trying to contact friends and loved-ones in the affected areas. My heart embraces all those who have suffered losses in this cataclysmic natural disaster.

Healing the Wounds of Africa's Distorted Past
Several years ago, I took a visiting professorship at a popular New England college. Its bucolic campus, nestled amidst fir trees and fragrant walking trails, promised a serenity of the mind and soul. But to my dismay, I had inadvertently stumbled into an intellectual minefield. Vehement arguments constantly erupted between Eurocentric and Afrocentric scholars regarding whether the ancient Egyptians were black, whether Socrates was really white, and for that matter, whether Christopher Columbus was a genocidal conquistador rather than a national hero.
|Eurocentric Map of Africa
The "Eurocentrics, " composed of traditional classicists, scholars of Greece and Rome, asserted that the African continent lay outside the sphere of intellectual development. They conveniently lopped Egypt and North Africa off maps of the continent.

Will New Research Depict Neanderthals as Budding Geniuses?
Until recently, scientific journals and popular magazines alike depicted "Neanderthal Man" as a lumbering creature of robust bone structure but low intelligence. However, this picture changed radically in 2010. No new anthropological evidence was brought to the fore at that time. Rather, geneticists discovered that Neanderthals had interbred with early Europeans.
I can just imagine what the headlines would have looked like had the evidence shown instead that this proto-human species had mated with Africans rather than Europeans: "New Genetic Evidence Proves Cognitive Inferiority of Blacks on Account of Neanderthal Interbreeding." So-called objective scientific knowledge is all too often determined by who is writing the textbooks, and who will be paying to read them.

How I Came to Love Justice Earl Warren & Hate Peaches
"Mama, what's 'I-m-p-e-a-c-h' mean?" I bellowed over the engine noise, swashing through the open windows of our 1958 Ford country squire. Fried chicken crumbs flecked my lap. I had been picking and tossing them out the window. In the process, my attention had lit upon a billboard, with an American flag taking up one side, red and blue words painted across the other in bold lettering. It was the third such sign I'd seen in the past hour, set along this lonely stretch of road, which cut through rural Alabama.

Having turned out a handsome, if not record-shattering, third chapter to Paramount's Mission: Impossible series, J.J. Abrams has now been entrusted to reinvigorate one of the studio's most enduring franchises: Star Trek. the Insider's Marc Malkin reports that for his prequel vision, Abrams wants none other than Matt Damon to step in as a youthful, pre-toupeed Captain Kirk:
I'm told J.J. Abrams is very interested in casting the Oscar-winning [Matt] Damon as a young Captain Kirk in the upcoming 'Star Trek' movie that he's directing and producing. He's so interested that he's apparently already sought support from the original Kirk, William Shataner. "Shatner gave his blessing," my source says. "J.J. got his approval." Damon first popped up in Trekkie circles as soon as the Abrams-'Star Trek' deal was announced. Rumor had it that the new movie would center on Kirk and Spock's early days at a space academy. "J.J. wants Damon as Capt. Kirk," my source reports. "He really loves the idea."
Possessing the quiet charisma and stately authority required to shout orders from the Captain's chair, Damon seems a good choice for Kirk. We must now hold our breaths until Abrams' pick for a young Spock is announced. Seeing the role as the perfect comeback/reunion vehicle, Ben Affleck has been begging wife and Abrams' former Alias muse Jennifer Garner to bring him over to J.J.'s house to show off his homemade, papier-mache pointy ears and demonstrate his mastery of the Vulcan neck pinch.

Rome photo
Nobody told me you can't get a cab at 3 am in Rome. Bar De La Pace.
The occassion was a show was put on by Teatrio who have done other illustration shows in the past. All women artists, about 40 in all. For some reason the show was titled "The fabulous colored pencils of the world" I think due to translation issues. The show will be traveling in Italy for two years. Each artist did a portrait of a famous woman and also exhibited several other works. Big up to Mark Heflin at AI for his participation in creating the show. I think it was the brainchild of Cathie Bleck and Vivianne Flesher.

Milpitas hairstylist Beverly Freese celebrated her 50th year as a hairstylist on Nov. 22, 2013.
Freese has served the Milpitas community since Nov. 22, 1963, first working at Fiesta Beauty and then began working for His N' Hers Hair (at the Dempsey Road, Calaveras Boulevard and South Park Victoria locations), where she still continues to work part time.
Freese said her motivation for being a successful a hairstylist was raising her two "beautiful daughters." She continues to work part time because she enjoys being with people and being with her extended family (co-workers).

So my July 08 daughter has almost outgrown her carseat (shes in the Britax Boulevard). My problem or concern is that she only weighs 32lbs and is really not heavy enough for most booster seats but she has a long torso so her seated height is almost at the limit for the seat...she has maybe a 1/2 inch to go at the most.
So should I buy something like the Britax Frontier 85 or something like the Kiddy Cruiserfix Pro?

Greetings Dmitry,
Is the suggested approach on handling powerbutton (in keyboard driver) to simply push out the event and let userland handle it?
The reason Im asking this is because as you might know Im maintainer for two mini-laptop style pda's (HP7xx & HP6xx)
and it would simplify my life alot if I didn't need to depend on userland applications to be able to suspend/resume.
For instance HP6XX receives an interrupt call whenever the powerbutton is pressed. Now I could just push out the event and let another program handle it but considering it would take a minimum amount of lines to let it simply suspend/resume I feel its a waste.
Previously the hp6xx has been allowed to do this "policy" way but that was when LinuxSH stod as a side branch to main tree. Now
when everything gets merged into mainline I need to decide how to do this.
This is mainly an embedded issue, but I feel it's quite important. It should apply to other devices also like for example Zaurus branches (those with keyboard and designated power button).
So in short:
1. Does mainline policy allow static power button events inside kernel (power button == suspend/resume)?
Why/Why Not?
2. Seeing as my knowledge about this area isn't the best I would appreciate all opinions on the subject from the gurus.
Best wishes

Johnson On Cotton: China Moves Toward Record Import Level
Old crop weekly sales proved better than anticipated, with combined sales of 150K of upland and pima cotton. China remained at the forefront with purchases followed by Turkey and Mexico. As of Apr 19, commitments had risen to 11.62 mln running bales or 550K above the USDA equivalent of 11.07 (11.40 mln statistical bales).
Weekly shipments totaled 287K, more than that necessary to reach the USDA target with China the primary recipient followed by Turkey, Vietnam, South Korea and Thailand. After 38 weeks, 7.76 mln running bales have been shipped, 70% of the USDA figure.
Over the next 14 weeks, 3.31 mln bales must be shipped or 236K per week to achieve the official projection. China and El Salvador account for the bulk of new crop sales (56K) as of a week ago with the total now topping the 1 mln mark at 1.03 mln running bales.
US Competitiveness/World Export Prices – The Cotlook and USDA A indexes were up this past week rising to 100.47 (+1.50) with the former and 98.92 (+1.25) with the latter. The two cheapest Afr Fr Zone quotes, Benin and Mali, have been a fight with Brazil for the top spot on a near daily basis and this week is no different with Brazil at nbr 3, .35 pts higher.
The remaining growths are on the north side of the 1.00 level with Greece's weekly average of 102.05 and Uzbekistan's at 103.60. All three of the US quotes (Calif is not shown) are up more than 2 cents with Texas (MOT) and Memphis/SE at 104.05, more than 5 cents above the cheapest growth. US quotes have advanced sharply in the past 2-3 weeks. Some of the strength can be attributed to futures movement but export sales in the same time span have been mixed at best.
Chinese Imports – China remains very involved in the purchase and import of raw cotton this year, and if the USDA projected figure from this month is correct at 20.5 mln statistical bales, their imports will reach a record level.
Cotlook updated Chinese amounts from Aug 1 to Mar 30 at 3.448 mln tons (15.8 mln bales) or 77% of the USDA figure. Indian cotton accounted for 1.46 mln tons (6.7 mln bales) of the import total in the first 8 months of the marketing year with the US contributing another 618K tons (2.84 mln bales).
Using today's US data, Chinese combined purchases and imports stand at 6.14 mln running bales or 55% share of US exports. Other countries including some of those within the Afr Fr Zone are contributing a substantial portion to China's coffers. DJ reported today "at least 60% of the 180K metric tons of Cameroon's crop was sold to China due to low demand from Europe, its traditional consumer".
With one day left in the week, the lead month is slightly higher vs last week's close, 92.1 vs 91.01 but 181 pts below its Mar 30 monthly close. Fri, Apr 27 and Mon, Apr 30 are the last 2 days of the month so all bets are off as to whether cotton will maintain its recent upward momentum or not. My technician says for Fri "July Cotton rotated back up and that creates a bearish three down "but" daily cycle for Friday. The odds favor a lower close."
Fundamentals and technicals have improved of late although in the case of the former, hard to see how they could get much worse and after testing its 50-day MA on Wednesday, the July contract surged back above it on Thurs' session. The resistance points mentioned earlier this week of 93.12 and 94.19 remain valid for the July contract and could be tested into next week in front of the May 10 USDA supply/demand report.
I will begin my pre-USDA reports next week and will include a more detailed discussion of the 2012 cotton crop but planting weather in the northern hemisphere has not been problem-free with questionable weather across parts of China and not much relief from the drought across portions of Wt Tx with not much expected into early May.

By JOEL BRINKLEY
Published: April 4, 2000
WASHINGTON, April 3— The Microsoft Corporation violated the nation's antitrust laws through predatory and anticompetitive behavior and kept ''an oppressive thumb on the scale of competitive fortune,'' a federal judge ruled today.
The judge, Thomas Penfield Jackson of United States District Court, sided with the government on the most important points in its exhaustive antitrust suit, though he surprised lawyers on both sides by ruling for Microsoft in one area. [Excerpts, Page C14.]
The Justice Department and the 19 states pressing the suit contended that Microsoft had hurt consumers by stifling competition in the software marketplace, particularly at the expense of the Netscape browser. Judge Jackson's findings of fact in the case, issued in November, overwhelmingly supported that view.
Several experts said today's ruling, applying the antitrust laws to those findings, laid the foundation for a powerful remedy. That will be decided in a separate proceeding to begin within a few weeks.
Options range from imposing restrictions on Microsoft's conduct to breaking up the company. Senior government officials close to the state and federal officers who are pursuing the case said many were interested in requesting a breakup, though no decision had been made.
Microsoft made clear it was set for a long fight. Its chairman, William H. Gates, said, ''We believe we have a strong case on appeal.''
The ruling came just 48 hours after settlement talks collapsed. On Saturday a court-appointed mediator announced that despite four months of mediation and after consideration of almost 20 drafts of a settlement offer, the gulf between the two sides remained unbridgeable.
Judge Jackson issued his judgment at 5 p.m., after the stock markets had closed. But reacting to the failure of the settlement talks and in anticipation of the judgment, Microsoft's stock plunged today, losing almost 14 percent of its value. That helped fuel a broad decline in the Nasdaq composite index, which fell 8 percent. [Page C13.]
In his 43-page conclusions of law, Judge Jackson's final judgment on the evidence, the judge wrote that ''the court concludes that Microsoft maintained its monopoly power by anticompetitive means and attempted to monopolize the Web browser market,'' as well as ''unlawfully tying its Web browser to its operating system'' -- all in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act.
At the same time, the judge ruled that Microsoft's marketing arrangements with other companies to promote its Web browser at Netscape's expense did not have sufficient effect to violate the law.
Microsoft seemed to take little solace from prevailing on that point. Mr. Gates did not even refer to that point when he announced that Microsoft would appeal.
''This ruling turns on its head the reality that consumers know -- that our software has helped make PC's more accessible and more affordable to millions,'' Mr. Gates said.
But Attorney General Janet Reno and other officials seemed delighted.
''Microsoft has been held accountable for its illegal conduct by a court of law,'' the attorney general said. ''We are pleased that the court agreed with the department that Microsoft abused its monopoly power, that it violated the antitrust laws and that it harmed consumers.''
Tom Miller, the attorney general of Iowa, said, ''Judge Jackson's decision is a broad-based and compelling finding of liability, of law-breaking.'' Mr. Miller leads the efforts of the 19 states that are partners with the Justice Department in the case.
And another plaintiff, Attorney General Richard A. Blumenthal of Connecticut, said the remedy should be ''as far reaching and fundamental as Microsoft's abuse of its monopoly power.''
The suit against Microsoft was filed almost two years ago. It accuses the company of using a monopoly in personal computer operating systems to stifle innovation and bully competitors.
The trial opened in October 1998, and from the opening moments, the government presented a case that embarrassed and damaged Microsoft. Then, when the company offered its own case several months later, many of Microsoft's witnesses were humiliated on the stand.
Testimony ended last spring. And when the judge issued his findings of fact in November, he found that Microsoft had ''demonstrated that it will use its prodigious market power and immense profits to harm any firm that insists on pursuing initiatives that could intensify competition against one of Microsoft's core products.''
With those findings, everyone involved with the case realized that his final judgment -- which would be called a verdict in a criminal case -- was likely to fall heavily against Microsoft, as it did today.
Still, many lawyers were less certain that the judge would find the company in violation of the provision of the Sherman Act that bears on combining one product with another.
A central conclusion in the government's case -- and in the judge's findings of fact -- was that Microsoft tied its Web browser to the Windows operating system to gain market share for its browser and put Netscape at a disadvantage.
But a finding of fact does not necessarily lead to a similar conclusion of law, which says that the action violates antitrust laws. That is particularly so in this case because a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals, overturning an order by Judge Jackson requiring Microsoft to offer a version of Windows without the browser, decided 2 to 1 in 1998 that Microsoft had every right to tie the browser to the operating system, if the company could demonstrate a plausible consumer benefit.
The Court of Appeals judges also suggested, however, that their opinion might change once they saw the evidence record from a trial. Judge Jackson devoted the largest section of his ruling to defending his judgment of liability on this count.
The Court of Appeals opinion, he wrote, ''appears to immunize any product design (or at least software product design) from antitrust scrutiny, irrespective of its effect upon competition, if the software developer can postulate any 'plausible claim' of advantage to its arrangement of code.''
He cited several Supreme Court decisions that support his view and called them ''indisputably controlling.'' He concluded: ''Microsoft's decision to tie Internet Explorer to Windows cannot truly be explained as an attempt to benefit consumers and improve the efficiency of the software market generally, but rather as part of a larger campaign to quash innovation that threatened its monopoly position.''
On other counts, he ruled that Microsoft's campaign against Netscape, as well as its decision to develop its own version of the Java programming language and encourage other companies to use it instead of the authorized version, prevented Netscape and Java from competing on the merits.
''Because Microsoft achieved this result through exclusionary acts that lacked procompetitive justification,'' the judge wrote, ''the court deems Microsoft's conduct the maintenance of monopoly power by anticompetitive means.''
He found in favor of Microsoft on the charge that the company had tried to block Netscape from the market by making exclusive agreements for its browser with computer companies, online services and Internet service providers.
Judge Jackson wrote: ''The evidence does not support a finding that these agreements completely excluded Netscape from any constituent portion of the worldwide browser market,'' as the law requires for a finding of illegality.
But the heavy weight of the ruling was against Microsoft, and it included some extraordinarily damning language in parts.
''Microsoft's anticompetitive actions,'' he wrote, ''trammeled the competitive process through which the computer software industry generally stimulates innovation'' to ''the optimum benefit of consumers.''
Some experts said the ruling made it likely that the government would ask for a remedy that would break up the company.
''It boxes them in,'' said Robert Litan, a former senior official in the Justice Department's antitrust division who dealt with the department's last suit against Microsoft, in 1994.
In the mediation effort that ended on Saturday, ''Microsoft already made it clear that they would not accept a conduct remedy'' acceptable to the government, he said. And this suggests that, if one were imposed, the government might face difficult enforcement questions.
''With this strong validation of the case, we now know that only a breakup will address the operating system monopoly'' that is at the heart of the case, Mr. Litan said. He is now with the Brookings Institution and has said he favors breaking up the company into several autonomous parts.
This evening, representatives of both Microsoft and the government said they remained open to the idea of restarting settlement talks. But when the judge's decision was entered, Microsoft's options narrowed considerably.
Judge Jackson's findings of fact in November gave plaintiffs' lawyers who were pursuing private suits against Microsoft useful ammunition for their cases. But the findings had only an ambiguous legal standing without the conclusions of law, entered today.
One of Microsoft's strongest incentives for reaching a settlement before today was that it would have removed the threat of a legal ruling and vacated the findings of fact. But should the litigants reach a settlement in the weeks or months ahead, it is not at all clear that the decision, including its legal conclusion that Microsoft holds a monopoly in personal computer operating system, can be wiped from the records.
''It's an interesting and unsure question,'' said Andrew I. Gavil, a professor of law at Howard University. ''There's no clear precedent for vacating a ruling after it has been issued.'' But even if Judge Jackson were to agree to vacate his ruling as a condition of a settlement agreement, Mr. Gavil noted that other judges might not feel bound by that.
''Once the ruling is entered, you lose containment,'' he said.
Mr. Gavil and other lawyers said they believed private suits against Microsoft would multiply.
''It gives powerful new ammunition to lawyers pursuing class-action cases,'' said Stephen Houck, who was the chief lawyer for the 19 states that filed suit against Microsoft. He is now in private practice. Mr. Gavil added, ''I think we may well see a new wave of them.''
Chart: '''An Unlawful Campaign''' Judge Jackson ruled that Microsoft violated the Sherman Antitrust Act in these ways: The company used anti-competitive means to maintain a monopoly for its PC operating system software. It attempted to monopolize the Web-browser software market, making a deliberate and purposeful choice to quell incipient competition. It tied its Internet Explorer Web browser to the Windows operating system as part of a larger campaign to quash innovation. The judge ruled in Microsoft's favor on one of the antitrust charges: Its marketing contracts with other companies did not deprive Netscape of the ability to distribute its Web browser. (pg. A1) Chart: ''The Issues: How Judge Jackson Ruled'' Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson ruled yesterday that Microsoft violated the Sherman Antitrust Act by maintaining its monopoly in PC operating systems through anticompetitive means; by attempting to monopolize the Web-browser market, and by tying its Internet Explorer Web browser to the company's Windows operating system. But he did not agree with the government's claim that Microsoft's marketing arrangements with other companies were unlawful exclusionary contracts. In many ways, yesterday's ruling was foreshadowed by the findings of fact the judge released on Nov. 5, 1999. Here are the main issues and the judge's stance -- then and now. ISSUE: Monopoly THE LAW: Companies that hold more than 70 percent of a market are generally regarded as having monopoly power. A monopoly finding in the Microsoft case did not necessarily mean it violated antitrust laws. But a monopoly finding was an essential first step for the government, which charged that Microsoft misused its monopoly power. JUDGE JACKSON IN NOVEMBER: ''Microsoft enjoys so much power in the market for Intel-compatible PC operating systems that if it wished to exercise this power solely in terms of price, it could charge a price for Windows substantially above that which could be charged in a competitive market.'' JUDGE JACKSON YESTERDAY: ''In essence, Microsoft mounted a deliberate assault upon entrepreneurial efforts that, left to rise or fall on their own merits, could well have enabled the introduction of competition into the market for Intel-compatible PC operating systems.'' ISSUE: Attempted collusion THE LAW: Proving attempted collusion can require evidence that is uniquely unequivoval, according to a 1984 federal appeals court ruling. In the Microsoft case, the government focused on a June 1995 meeting at which Netscape contends that Microsoft proposed dividing up the Web-browser market between Internet Explorer and Netscape's Navigator. JUDGE JACKSON IN NOVEMBER: ''Although the discussions ended before Microsoft was compelled to demarcate precisely where the boundary between its platform and Netscape's applications would lie, it is unclear whether Netscape's acceptance of Microsoft's proposal would have left the firm with even the ability to survive as an independent business.'' JUDGE JACKSON YESTERDAY: ''Microsoft's effort to convince Netscape to stop developing platform-level browsing software for the 32-bit versions of Windows was made with full knowledge that Netscape's acquiescence in this market allocation scheme would, without more, have left Internet Explorer with such a large share of browser usage as to endow Microsoft with de facto monopoly power in the browser market.'' ISSUE: Linking products THE LAW: The legal precedents are mixed. Courts have ruled that a good that is produced, marketed and bought on its own should be considered a separate product. But in June 1998, in a case related to the larger antitrust case against Microsoft, a federal appeals court ruled that Microsoft should be free to blend its browser into Windows as long as it could make a plausible claim of business efficiency or consumer benefit from doing so. JUDGE JACKSON IN NOVEMBER: ''The preferences of consumers and the responsive behavior of software firms demonstrate that Web browsers and operating systems are separate products.'' JUDGE JACKSON YESTERDAY: ''Microsoft's decision to tie Internet Explorer to Windows cannot truly be explained as an attempt to benefit consumers and improve the efficiency of the software market generally, but rather as part of a larger campaign to quash innovation that threatened its monopoly position.'' ISSUE: Exclusionary contracts THE LAW: The precedents provide somewhat mixed signals. Some decisions suggest that contracts that exclude rivals from 30 or 40 percent of a market are illegal. But in the Aspen Skiing case in 1985, the Supreme Court endorsed a stricter standard if a company has a powerful monopoly position, ruling that a contract is illegal if it "unnecessarily excludes or handicaps competitors." JUDGE JACKSON IN NOVEMBER: ''The company's dealings with Compaq in 1996 and 1997 demonstrate that Microsoft was willing to exchange valuable consideration for a PC-maker's commitment to curtail its distribution and promotion of Navigator.'' JUDGE JACKSON YESTERDAY: ''Notwithstanding the extent to which these 'exclusive' distribution agreements pre-empted the most efficient channels for Navigator to achieve browser usage share, however, the Court concludes that Microsoft's multiple agreements with distributors did not ultimately deprive Netscape of the ability to have access to every PC worldwide to offer an opportunity to install Navigator.'' ISSUE: Predatory pricing THE LAW: Although it might have been construed as a monopolistic abuse if the government could demonstrate that Microsoft charged exhorbitant prices, the main accusation was the company unfairly undermined competitors by not charging enough -- by melding an Internet browser with the Windows operating system and giving the browser away. Other recent legal cases have tended not to find price-cutting to be illegal unless it can be shown that the company planned to increase prices later -- after a rival had been driven from the market. JUDGE JACKSON IN NOVEMBER: ''Even if it could be determined that Microsoft charges less than the profit-maximizing monopoly price, though, that would not be probative of a lack of monopoly power, for Microsoft could be charging what seems like a low short-term price in order to maximize its profits in the future for reasons unrelated to underselling any incipient competitors.'' JUDGE JACKSON YESTERDAY: ''Viewing Microsoft's conduct as a whole also reinforces the conviction that it was predacious. Microsoft paid vast sums of money, and renounced many millions more in lost revenue every year, in order to induce firms to take actions that would help enhance Internet Explorer's share of browser usage at Navigator's expense.'' (pg. C12)

ST. LOUIS � The Red Sox officially activated utilityman Kelly Johnson on Thursday, optioning Mookie Betts back to Triple-A Pawtucket.
Johnson, who can play most infield spots and the corner outfield, will fill a reserve role � akin to what Mike Carp played before he was claimed on waivers by the Rangers. The 32-year-old Johnson, acquired from the Yankees in the Stephen Drew trade, hit .219 with a .304 on-base percentage and six home runs for New York.
�There�s versatility there,� manager John Farrell said. �Kelly�s aware of the role he comes in, so we�ll pick those spots accordingly.�
He had been on the disabled list with a groin strain.
Boston will be the fourth team Johnson has played for in the last three years, and all of them have been in the American League East.
Betts was sent down largely to ensure that he starts receiving regular playing time again. He started just two games since being recalled on August 1, going 2-for-7.
Betts is 10-for-41 in 13 games in the majors this season.
�He�s a developing player,� Farrell said. �In the two stints he�s had here with us, you can see the improvements defensively, but we didn�t want to stall that development any further.�

Love Muffins.
I mean, I really love muffins.
Great for a quick breakfast, I often make a dozen and keep them in the freezer. All you need to do is pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds and run out the door. Time permitting, I "ice" them with a nut butter.
Tip: remember to grab your muffin from the microwave BEFORE running out the door. That was an incredibly disappointing moment…
One of my standards has been a 92 Calorie Zucchini Protein Muffin, but this week I made a new favorite: Pumpkin Zucchini Muffins.
The zucchini and the pumpkin puree make this super-moist pumpkin bread-esque breakfast muffin.
Muffins for breakfast are usually more of a "treat" food for me because they are SO high in sugar.
If I eat a lot of sugar for breakfast, I crash hard a few hours later at work.
These muffins are a different story. I have been experimenting with Xylitol and managed to get the sugar content down to only 5g! Xylitol is a naturally-occuring sugar substitute derived from berries, mushrooms, and other fruits.
Xylitol can be hard to find – I stumbled upon it by accident while checking out a new (to me) natural foods store. I recommend ordering it online if you can't find it at a local store. It's well-worth the shipping/extra effort because this stuff has no sugar in it AND is doesn't have that fake taste so many other sugar replacers have.*
*It also means they aren't super sweet. If you like a sugary breakfast muffin, try adding a few dates to the mix for a natural sweetener.
Pumpkin Zucchini Muffins
- 1 C whole grain pastry flour
- 1/2 C spelt flour (or protein powder)*
- 1 C quick-cooking oats
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1.5 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 3/4 C Xylitol (or regular sugar)
- 1/4 C brown sugar, packed
- 1/3 C unsweetened vanilla coconut milk (I used So Delicious)
- 1 egg (or flax egg)
- 1 C pumpkin puree
- 1/3 C coconut oil
- 1 C grated zucchini (1 medium)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease 12-muffin tin with cooking spray.
In a large bowl mix dry ingredients together.
In medium bowl mix together milk, egg, and pumpkin. Add oil, stirring quickly so it doesn't solidify.
Add wet ingredients to dry, stirring until just combined. Mix in zucchini.
Divide evenly among tins and bake for 20 mins.
- If you don't have spelt flour, you could use protein powder. I like Growing Naturals.
- You can replace the xylitol with white sugar or another sugar replacer.
- The coconut milk can be replaced with regular milk or another milk-like substance. If you don't use vanilla-flavored, add a teaspoon of vanilla to the wet ingredient mix.
- Use a flax egg to makes these vegan.
Approximate Nutritionals (for 1 muffin): 150 calories, 7.5g fat, 18.9g carbohydrates, 2.2g fiber, 5.3g sugar, 2.9g protein.
Special thanks for the Buzz yesterday – and welcome to new readers!!!
Do you use sugar replacers?
Is anyone else going to the FoodBuzz Festival this weekend? I'd love to meet up!

Has The New Bachelorette Been Chosen Already?
Apparently so. [SPOILERS INSIDE]
Bachelor Juan Pablo's season may still be a few weeks — and crucial eliminations — away from its conclusion, but the reality franchise's production team have moved on to finding the forthcoming Bachelorette. The show now almost exclusively casts its leading men and women from the pool of existing contestants, even though that's a bit incestuous — and weird, because surely every new batch of hopefuls know they're competing for the heart and eternal love of someone who already tried for the heart and eternal love of someone else in turn. Why, you might even go as far as to consider that not everyone comes into the show hoping for a serious relationship!
Cynicism aside, the new Bachelorette has reportedly already been chosen. It's reportedly Andi Dorfman, according to prolific spoiler Reality Steve. The news will be revealed on the special Women Tell All bitchfest; Andi will reportedly start her season taping early next month.
Update: TMZ has a letter from Dorfman's boss at the district attorney's office in Fulton County, Georgia approving her for three months unpaid leave after her "highly unusual request" for time off. And what is The Bachelorette if not "highly unusual," after all?

How will you ensure that your friend pays you back? Will you hold onto something of value from your friend to ensure that your loan is paid? If your friend fell on hard times and had difficulty paying you back, how would you respond? If your friend simply neglected to pay you back, do you think it would put a strain on your friendship? For most of us, we would have to really think it over before we commit to lending a personal friend that kind of money.

Straight outta Iceland, 26 sculptures loitering around an Arts District parking garage till Craig Hall builds his tower
Several friends of the show have inquired about the Arts District's 26 new residents, the sculptures that started surrounding developer Craig Hall's parking garage a few days back. So happens our Brad Loper caught the installation, and as Ann Pinson noted, they're the handiwork of Iceland's Steinunn Thorarinsdottir. Specifically, this is her Borders piece, which, if I read my CVs correctly, made its public debut in 2011 at the Dag Hammarskjöld Plaza in Manhattan, not far from the United Nations.
As you may be aware, that parking garage is the site of Hall's long-promised 16-story, 454,500-square-foot Hall Arts tower, and after a decade of breath-holding it seems he's ready build; Steve Brown noted earlier this month that a building permit's been filed at long last. Lisa Boyer, Hall's spokesperson, says in an email dispatched Friday night that "construction on Phase I of Hall Arts could start as early as August." Phase I, for those wondering, "includes a 16-story building with 450,000 SF of office space and 20,000 SF of restaurant space," she writes. "Interesting rooftop terraces, a half-acre park with water features and outdoor workspaces, and the Texas Sculpture Walk are also planned as part of this development phase."
Till then, then, Borders will occupy the space, following the exhibit's move from Westlake Park in Seattle. Friday I asked Boyer if we could talk to Hall about why he brought those 26 folks to Dallas; she sent the following explanation.
Craig Hall has been collecting art since he was a teenager. His mother was an artist and art educator. One of the things he loves most in life is making art available to the public — for people to see and enjoy (or just to ponder) — especially those who otherwise might not be able to.
This installation, which is on Hall's soon-to-be-developed arts district land, is by an artist Craig has known for quite some time. He has three of her pieces at his home in Napa, three at one of the Napa wineries and one at his home in Dallas. When the opportunity came up for this show to come here, Craig felt it would be a wonderful contribution to the arts district and to share with the Dallas community. Increasing activity downtown and in the arts district on Flora is also a goal.
The show will be here until sometime in July; exact date still TBD. It is foretelling of Craig Hall's commitment to art and artists, which will play a major role in and around his Hall Arts development.
A little later, she sent a follow-up missive to clarify one thing: "I hope this exhibit will let people know that while Craig Hall is serious about economically viable business ventures, he is also very serious about making Hall Arts a meaningful, art-filled destination development that will be great for Dallas."
It's an impressive piece, all right — unexpected too, though as one friend notes, it's a little creepy when you stumble across it at night. "Could use some lighting."

4/10/2013 @ 6:13 PMO'FALLON, Ill. (AP) - A southwestern Illinois school district says it'll go ahead with cutting 90 jobs now that voters have rejected a tax hike that would have averted it.
KMOV-TV reports that 65 percent of the voters who cast ballots Tuesday on the O'Fallon School District 90 measure said no. The proposal called for raising the property tax from 1.4 percent to 1.89 percent on a house valued at $210,000, the average price of a home in the district. That would have amounted to an additional tax burden of $300 per year.
After the results were tallied, district officials said they understand the voter sentiments and now can move forward. The school system already had notified the affected employees there'd be layoffs if the tax hike failed.

"I think Coach (Carl) Mauck would have had to be activated to get in there if anybody else had gone down," left tackle Roman Oben said.
Right guard Mike Goff came up limping near the end of yesterday's game against Oakland, but fortunately for all involved, he was able to continue and the Chargers made it to their locker room without any further casualties – and without having to call on Mauck.
More important, they came away with a 27-14 victory against the Raiders, and one of the primary reasons was the play of their makeshift offensive line. Not that they were surprised.
"When you dress eight or nine guys, you know those guys are going to have to play," Oben said. "Obviously last year we were able to get five guys to play (almost) every snap, but that's not always the case."
In their places alongside Oben and Goff: Kris Dielman, Leander Jordan and Bob Hallen.
"Nobody's a backup in this league; it's a matter of who starts and who doesn't," Oben said.
"I thought they did great," said quarterback Drew Brees, who was sacked only twice yesterday, both times in the fourth quarter when Jordan was beaten by Derrick Burgess. "Dielman, this was only his fourth start. Leander, his first start here. We've still got some guys that are kind of new.
"I felt like they did a good job and they'll continue to get better. It's just a testament to them and their coach. They just find a way to get in there and grind it out."
Their success, while more apparent in the first three quarters than the fourth, could be seen mainly in the Chargers' rushing numbers. San Diego had 190 yards on the ground, including 140 by LaDainian Tomlinson, who extended his NFL record by scoring a rushing touchdown for the 18th straight game. He also tied Lenny Moore's NFL record for consecutive games with a TD of any kind (18) and became the first player ever to rush for at least 10 TDs in each of his first five seasons.
"I want to give a lot of credit to them," Tomlinson said. "Those guys did a good job. Leander and Bob Hallen did a great job of coming in when guys were hurt.
"It's not just me doing it. If they don't block anybody I won't score a touchdown. What they do for me, I'm really honored."
Not surprisingly, it's a mutual admiration society.
"LT's a hell of a running back," Dielman said. "I love blocking for him and I know everybody on the line loves blocking for him. He's a good dude. He deserves everything he gets."
Said Oben: "He's a special guy, and I'd rather have him in my huddle than have to stand on the other team's sideline and see what he does to our defense.
"And he works hard. A lot of these guys in this league, they've got the athletic ability but not the work ethic. This guy's got the athletic ability, he has God-given talent and he's one of the hardest-working guys in the building."
Added tight end Justin Peelle: "It's so easy to block for him. You create a lane for half a second, and he's gone. He makes the hard things look simple and everybody else look good."

Ten thousand organic consumers signed OCA's petition last week to Barack Obama, asking him to take a clear position in support of organic agriculture. Thanks to all who joined in to deliver this resounding message to the incoming administration. Unfortunately, it is now being widely reported that former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack is being considered for the Secretary of Agriculture position in the Obama Administration. Vilsack is a notorious cheerleader for genetically engineered crops and chemical and energy-intensive industrial agriculture–certainly no friend of organic food and farming. Tom Vilsack's appointment would represent a major disappointment for the Organic Consumers Association and its members. But there is still time to make your voice heard.

The Institute of Economic Affairs announced on Tuesday it was prepared to offer the cash as an incentive to jump start a "serious" public debate about what the world would be like for the UK if it decided to go it alone.

A teacher from an area grade school called the other day and asked if she could bring her kids around to find out how a newspaper is made. I told her I'd be happy to share what I knew, and we talked about a day and time for the visit.
After I got off the phone I realized I didn't know the ages of the kids who would be visiting. I knew they weren't high schoolers. She might have said something about second grade. Good heavens, what would I have to say to children so young?

ADDISON COUNTY — Social service agencies are alerting area residents that there is still time to apply for federal assistance if they were affected by Tropical Storm Irene. And they say those who are unsure if they qualify for financial assistance should file now and let the agencies decide later if aid is forthcoming.
"It's possible that insurance will not cover the damage," said Beth Diamond, regional resource specialist with Vermont 2-1-1, a project of the Vermont United Ways. "Renters should still file.
MIDDLEBURY — The closing of Middlebury's Bakery Lane at its northern entrance (fronting Main Street), which was due to begin Monday, Sept. 12, has been put off, probably until next spring.
The imminent closure of the downtown street to accommodate repairs to the brick façade of the Dyer Block was announced last Friday. Middlebury Development Review Board Administrator Ted Dunakin that day said the town was happy to hear that building owner Peter Jette would fix the brickwork for safety reasons.
GRANVILLE / HANCOCK — As inhabitants of the White River Valley tried to pull their lives together after floods from Tropical Storm Irene last week tore up roads, knocked out power and isolated residents, Vermonters who live on the western side of the Green Mountains donated supplies and went in person in large numbers to help out.
Those offering support included local firefighters, college students and human service organizations.
MIDDLEBURY — The Addison Independent, which has a sister newspaper in Brandon and two others in Colchester and Essex, is slated to soon expand the family with another sister newspaper, this one based in Killington.
Addison Press Inc. owner Angelo Lynn announced this week that he and Royal Barnard, owner of The Mountain Timesof Killington, have signed a letter of intent for Lynn to purchase The Mountain Timesand its ancillary publications as of Sept. 1.
ADDISON — Members of the greater Addison community were working this week to help out Val and Tim Birchmore and their five kids, who lost their home on Lake Street in West Addison to a fire last Saturday night.
Around 75 firefighters from five towns rushed to the fire, which started around 7 p.m. Addison Fire Chief Chris Mullis said on Monday that the fire was under investigation, but that it appears to have started with an outside gas grill on the back porch. It spread to the house and quickly took off.

are any of my 10 weekers feeling your baby move

"REM sleep is for husbands." ~ TheLadyJenkins
At 15 weeks with my 3rd the doctor could see the baby actually kicking. It depends on the women. I totally think you could feel flutters and they do feel like gas too.
I threw my pie for you

Dawn - babycenter community moderator
I just had my baby 7 weeks ago. and i really dont think its possible to feel baby's movements this early. coz baby is so tiny at this stage. there is a possibility of gas
I didn't feel my first until 17 weeks. My second was earlier, but no flutters with this one yet. Way too early.
How can you already feel the baby who is only an inch long?
It's not physically possible.

Guest post by Graham Holt
When traveling for business or pleasure, visiting a local brewery can provide more rewards than just the freshest beer in town. It's also the chance to support a local business, gain access to rare beers, and hear the inside scoop on the surrounding area.
I always check to see if there is a brewery in the area when visiting a new town,. As a lover of beer, I'm interested in not only the product, but also the process, equipment and people that are involved in making my alcoholic beverage of choice.
Aside from the strictly beer-related benefits, brewery employees are a wealth of local information. This is where they work and live, so they will be able to point you to the best food, music, and bottle shops in the area. Since independent breweries are local businesses, they will likely direct you to the local businesses that will best suit your needs. Personally, I'd much rather support local businesses than national chains that are doing fine without my money.
Finding breweries to visit
Before visiting a brewery, you'll need to do a little research. I recommend using Google Maps, Beer Advocate, and Yelp to find breweries, and to help decide which one(s) to visit and which one(s) to avoid.
Google Maps: A search on Google Maps for breweries and brewpubs near the town you are visiting will give you an idea of your options. Check
each local brewery's website to see if their visiting or tour times will line up with your trip.
Beer Advocate: If you are unfamiliar with a brewery's offerings, a search on Beer Advocate can show you how well a brewery's beers have been received by the public. If any beers stick out as something you'd like to try, make a note of them in a place that you'll be able to access on your trip.
Yelp: Details that are unavailable on a brewery's official website are often available on Yelp. These reviews can be brutal, so always read a few before letting them affect your plans. Many breweries are in industrial areas that can be sketchy, and Yelp reviews may include safety warnings that are worth considering in case you will be beginning and/or ending your visit in the dark.
Tips For Your Visit
Try New Beers
If given a choice of what to sample, try something that you can't find in your hometown. This could be a style that you aren't familiar with or fond of, but I say go for it as you might be pleasantly surprised. Occasionally, a brewery will be sampling a special test brew that won't get bottled. The opportunity to try these unique, often single-batch beers is a great perk to brewery visits.
Bring a Gift
Just as you will likely find beer that you can't find at home, you may find that beers you consider common are missing from bottle shop shelves when you travel. Bringing a bottle of beer that isn't locally available is a great way to introduce yourself when visiting a brewery.
A gift certainly isn't expected, but it's nearly always well-received. This has garnered me beer samples that aren't generally available to brewery visitors, and better service at brewpubs. The important thing is to never expect anything in return. If beer is offered in the true spirit of giving, then a smile or thank you will be all the reward that you need; consider anything beyond that a bonus.
I've found that most brewery employees are more than willing to talk about the local attractions and eateries if they aren't swamped with customers. It's great to take an interest in the people, the product, and the area, but don't get in the way of anyone that is actively trying to make a purchase.
Purchase Something
If you have enjoyed the beer samples, it's considered good form to purchase some beer at the brewery. In the event that beer is not for sale at the brewery due to legal reasons, then glassware, t-shirts or other merchandise is nearly always available.
Beer that is available for purchase may include offerings that are available exclusively at the brewery (Night Shift has such exclusive offerings). These hard-to-get beers will often be the star of your next backyard get-together.
If the beer that you sample is something you'd rather forget, then don't feel obligated to buy anything, just be sure to support the breweries that make products you enjoy.
The next time that you are traveling, I hope that you'll consider looking into visiting a brewery, as doing so can be quite rewarding. When visiting the Boston area, I would recommend stopping by Night Shift Brewing if you have a chance. If you have visited breweries while traveling, feel free to share your favorite brewery visits in the comments section below, as I'm always looking for new places to visit.
Graham Scott Holt is a technical training specialist living near Boston. He has traveled the world (for work), and brought back interesting beers. When he's not working or doing something related to beer, Graham enjoys writing, gardening, making candy (Holt's Confectionery) and doing a terrible job at learning to play the ukulele.

A Not-So-Secret Formula
VICTORIA'S SECRET: Cleary the metrics indicate the strength of this concept. After careful correlation of normative values in a frame-by-frame analysis and utilizing the proprietary pupil dialation tool, Yankelovitch has, I'm sure massaged the data at great expense to determine, with an eye toward regressive analysis of the main character to determine the timing impact relative to Valentine's Day Sales Events, which yielded a wealth of data that went pretty well with artichoke dip made with Hellman's ® real mayonaise.

Seawolves Claim Share Of NEC Title With Last Minute 23-21 Win Over Central Connecticut
Nov. 12, 2005
Stony Brook, N.Y. - Josh Dudash connected with Lynell Suggs on a 10-yard fade pass with 31 seconds to go to lift Stony Brook to a thrilling 23-21 victory over Central Connecticut State Saturday afternoon at Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium. With the win the Seawolves earn a share of the Northeast Conference Championship with CCSU for the first NEC championship in school history in head coach Sam Kornhauser's final home game after 22 years at the helm of the Stony Brook football program.
Trailing 21-17 with 3:38 remaining in the contest, the Seawolves (6-4, 5-2 NEC) began the game-winning drive on their own 4-yard line. Dudash led SB's surge down the field, connecting on 6-of-8 passes for 92 yards, including a 48-yard reception by Josh Anderson. Later in the drive, Dudash scrambled to his left and found Scott Kubrak on a beautiful touch pass down the left sideline that set Stony Brook up with first-and-goal at the CCSU 9-yard line. Two plays later, the sophomore quarterback capped the 10-play, 96-yard drive with the 10-yard touchdown pass to Suggs with just over 30 seconds to play, sending the crowd of 3,209 into a frenzy.
On the Blue Devils' (7-4, 5-2 NEC) final drive, they found themselves on their own 43 with three seconds to go. Aubrey Norris heaved a hail-mary pass intended for Josh Roth, but it was batted down by Dan Michitsch at the SB 5-yard line as time expired to seal the victory.
In the first half, it seemed as if the Seawolves were in control of the game. After a 21-yard field goal by Matt Weeks, Stony Brook had a 10-0 lead with 17 seconds remaining.
Following the kickoff, CCSU stunned the Seawolves as Norris hit Roth on a 15-yard out play that he turned into a 67-yard touchdown down the far sideline, eluding several Seawolves along the way. Derek Pearson added the extra point and Stony Brook led 10-7 at the break.
The Blue Devils struck for another big play late in the third quarter when SB was driving for a score. Nigel Monge stripped Assad Hafiz of the ball at the CCSU 16-yard line and Anthony Wilson scooped it up at the 23 and dashed 77 yards for the score. Pearson nailed the extra point to put CCSU up 14-10.
Stony Brook regained the lead thanks to a good bounce. Sean McGinty's punt deflected off Wilson and was recovered by Michitsch at the CCSU 1-yard line. One play later, Dudash plunged in from a yard out and Weeks hit the extra point to put the Seawolves back up, 17-14, with 40 seconds left in the third quarter.
The visitors again went in front midway through the fourth quarter, marching down the field with a seven-play, 74-yard scoring drive capped by a Norris 7-yard pass to Steve Bergeski. Pearson added the extra point to make it 21-17 with 8:09 remaining in the contest.
Dudash went 22-of-31 for 241 yards and one touchdown. Anderson caught eight passes for 115 yards, while Joe Tarasiewicz made seven catches for 62 yards and Rod Williams finished with 109 yards on 25 carries and a touchdown. Mike Mounter led the SB defense with eight tackles, while Michitsch recovered two fumbles and added four tackles.
Norris went 10-for-17 for 151 yards and two scores for the Blue Devils. Roth caught three passes for 94 yards and a TD, while Jo Jo Freeman ran for 58 yards on 13 carries. Coree Tucker tallied a game-high 14 tackles and a sack, while Brian Sullivan posted 10 tackles and a sack.
The Seawolves close out their 2005 campaign on Saturday when they travel to Poughkeepsie, N.Y., to take on Marist in a non-conference matchup. Kick-off is set for 1:00 p.m.

Centra Health is closing its child care center in Lynchburg on October 1.
The child care center was a service available to employees. According to company spokesperson Diane Riley, out of the 6,000 Centra employees only around 30 were using the child care center.
The closure will affect 14 employees. Centra is working to find jobs within the company for the affected employees.
Earlier this month Centra announced that it would be enacting cost-cutting measures after a drop in demand for services. Click here to read our coverage of Centra's cuts.
