Softballs Rager Named MAC West Player Of The Week
MUNCIE, Ind. - - For her part in helping guide the Ball State softball team to a weekend sweep of Miami, senior first baseman Taylor Rager (Fishers, Ind./Hamilton Southeastern) has been named the Mid-American Conference West Division Player of the Week.
Rager, who shares this week's honor with Toledo's Lani Ernst, picks up the award for the second time this season and the fourth time in her career.
"Taylor has played an important role in our climb to the top of the MAC standings," Ball State head coach Tyra Perry said. "She is determined to make the most of her senior year and that has shown in her play over the last few weeks. Not only has she come up with several big hits, but she has also been very patient at the plate and drawn walks in key situations."
In Ball State's two-game sweep of Miami, Rager posted a perfect weekend at the plate by going 3-for-3 (two singles and a home run) with three walks (including one intentional) to help the Cardinals take sole possession of first place in the MAC overall standings. In the opener versus the RedHawks, Rager drew walks in her first two plate appearances and logged a leadoff single in the two-run sixth. After her single, she eventually came around to score the game-tying run.
In Sunday's victory over Miami, Rager singled in her first at bat in the bottom of the second and would come around to score the game's first run. In the third inning, Rager came up to bat with a pair of runners in scoring position and no outs and was intentionally walked. Senior third baseman Audrey Bickel (Munster, Ind./Andrean) followed with a grand slam to give BSU a 5-1 edge. In the fourth inning, Rager blasted the second pitch of her at bat over the wall in right-center field against a wind that was blowing in at over 25 miles per hour to give BSU a 9-1 lead which ultimately led to the run-rule victory.
Rager enters her final MAC regular season weekend with a .500 (15-for-30) batting average in league play, and has drawn 11 walks to boast a MAC-best .634 on base percentage. She has 13 runs batted in and 11 runs scored over Ball State's 12 conference games, and has tallied four doubles, three home runs and a triple.
Rager and the rest of the Ball State softball team close the regular season this weekend by hosting Central Michigan for a Friday (1 pm) doubleheader and Eastern Michigan for single games Saturday (2 pm) and Sunday (1 pm).

Researchers from King's College London say that neuronal activity can stimulate tau release from healthy neurons in the absence of cell death. The results published by Diane Hanger, Ph.D., and her colleagues in EMBO reports show that treatment of neurons with known biological signaling molecules increases the release of tau into the culture medium. The release of tau from cortical neurons is therefore a physiological process that can be regulated by neuronal activity.
Tau proteins stabilize microtubules, the long threads of polymers that help to maintain the structure of the cell. However, in Alzheimer's disease or certain types of dementia, tau accumulates in neurons or glial cells, where it contributes to neurodegeneration.
In addition to intracellular aggregation, recent experiments have shown that tau is released from neuronal cells and taken up by neighboring cells, which allows the spread of aggregated tau across the brain. This release could occur passively from dying neuronal cells, though some evidence suggests it might take place before neuronal cell death and neurodegeneration. The new findings indicate that tau release is an active process in healthy neurons, and this could be altered in diseased brains.
"Our findings suggest that altered tau release is likely to occur in response to changes in neuronal excitability in the Alzheimer's brain. Secreted tau could therefore be involved in the propagation of tau pathology in tauopathies, a group of neurodegenerative diseases associated with the accumulation of tau proteins in the brain," explains Dr. Hanger, reader in the department of neuroscience at King's College London. In these experiments, Amy Pooler, Ph.D., the lead author, revealed that molecules such as potassium chloride, glutamate, or an AMPA receptor agonist could release tau from cortical neurons in an active physiological process that is at least partially dependent on presynaptic vesicle secretion.
The new findings by the scientists indicate that tau has previously unknown roles in biological signaling between cells, in addition to its well-established role in stabilizing microtubules.
"We believe that targeting the release of tau could be explored as a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and related tauopathies," said Dr. Hanger. Additional studies are needed in model organisms to test this hypothesis further.

Poolside in Austin, Texas & Austin City Guide Part One
30th September 2012
After a week in NYC, I'm now back in Austin, Texas. Although I was just recently talking about fall wardrobes, I'm not in need of that quiiite yet, Blog Reader. The temperature in the state of Texas remains in the 80s this month (that's 30 degrees to you, Europe!) so here I am, in a typical Austin weekend outfit – denim cut offs, simple tee, sunglasses and sandals*.
Austin is an amazing city. The weather is insanely gorgeous and the people here are so welcoming. You'll have seen snapshots, outfits and lots of travel tips from my trips to Austin over the past year but below I've put together a list of some of my favourite boutiques, bars and restaurants for part one of this week's Austin City Guide:
Co-Star Style 1708 S. Congress | 512.912.7970 – menswear and womenswear. I was excited to find that they stock G Star Raw and J Crew, plus their range of sunglasses styles is excellent.
Feathers Vintage Boutique 1700b South Congress Ave | 512.912.9779 – sister store to Moss Austin (who you can read about here) this place has some amazing biker tees and enough accessories for you to put together a whole outfit before you leave the boutique.
Teddies for Bettys 211 West 2nd Street | 512.614.2103 – how happy am I that I can still get my lingerie fix in Ashley's boutique. Ashley's blog keeps you in the know about in store events (DJs, champagne and cupcakes reign supreme here) plus she shares her expert knowledge on lingerie styling and current inspirations. A must visit!
Photos: Red Rogue Studios
Guero's Taco Bar 1411 South Congress Ave | 512.447.7688 – an outdoor bar area playing live music several nights a week. Grab one of their speciality margaritas and stay a while, especially on Wednesdays when Texas Music Radio live broadcasts from the garden.
Easy Tiger Bake Shop and Beer Garden 709 East Sixth Street | 512.614.4972 – when I am missing NYC I can get my pretzel fix here, but really you come for the sausages and extensive drinks menu. Absolutely try the Merguez and drink yourself under the table with their list of amazing brews.
Wearing: Denim (short) shorts, Urban Outfitters. Sandals, Nine West. Tee, Marks and Spencer. Sunglasses, GUESS.
I'll be posting part two of my guide later in the week, Blog Reader. Do visit!
*Life as a fashion blogger is certainly much much easier in a place with very little rain or wind.

1. Some of the Original Cast Might Be Returning
"I think everybody's gonna be back, I think, and obviously nobody's deals are done," Magic Mike writer and star Channing Tatum told MTV at the Movie Awards Sunday. Insiders say some of the gang are in fact close to deals to return – including Matthew McConaughey and Joe Manganiello – but not yet Alex Pettyfer. Pettyfer's rep has not commented.
2. One Person Not Coming Back: Steven Soderbergh
He retired from Hollywood last year and won't be returning for the sequel, but director Steven Soderbergh's handing off the reins to a worthy standby. His protégé, Greg Jacobs, will step in for the next installment, despite reports that Tatum himself would be directing. Jacobs has helmed two films (Criminal and Wind Child), and boasts assisting creds on nearly 50 other projects, including Erin Brockovich, HBO's Liberace biopic Behind the Candelabra and, of course, Magic Mike.
3. The Story's About …
MTV confirmed the news with Tatum that the sequel will be a road-trip story, adding that it won't be as dark as the original story. "We don't want to make it some serious slice-of-life movie," Tatum told MTV. "We want to have real, like, reality in it, but we don't want to make some dark drama."
A year ago, writer Reid Carolin dished on the (then-rumored) sequel to Screen Rant. "We have a story…It's a road movie sort of thing, where a bunch of strippers get back together. It's more of a broad comedy."
4. Star Joe Manganiello Recently Got Some More Stripper Experience
While he put on quite a show as beefcake Big Dick Richie in Magic Mike, Joe Manganiello was behind the camera in another male stripper film. Manganiello produced and directed La Bare, a documentary in which he interviewed the exposed stars of the famous Dallas male strip club. The doc premiered at Sundance and opens on June 27. "You get to see these big, strong guys really open up to you and pour their hears out on camera, which you would never expect," Manganiello told InStyle.
5. The Movie Should Measure Up to Its Title
Tatum promises the follow-up will be even more over-the-top than its predecessor. "We want there to be a s--- ton of fun. A s--- ton of ridiculous stuff that you would never see in a movie, on the face of the earth, ever again," he told MTV. With its slated 4th of July weekend release, the flick will be up against another blockbuster: the latest Terminator installment. Despite the competition, if it's anything like the first film (which grossed $167 million worldwide), the return of Magic Mike is expected to be a moneymaker.

ROCHESTER — The puck dropped Wednesday night on the highest level of hockey in Western New York. It looked quite different than in past years.
Instead of fans lining up outside First Niagara Center to see the Buffalo Sabres get dropped off in limos and walk a red carpet, patrons clopped down metal bleachers in a facility that also housed 4-year-old skaters in pink safety helmets. Instead of patriotic displays on a high-definition scoreboard, the anthem singer shouted her notes when the microphone malfunctioned.
Several things were familiar, though. Pucks echoed off sticks. Hard checks rattled the glass. Skates carved the ice.
Judging by the guy who happily shouted, "Hockey!" just before the Rochester Americans took the opening face-off, that was enough.
Several hundred fans watched the Rochester Americans' first preseason game in Sports Centre at Monroe Community College, a 4-3 loss to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. With the NHL no closer to ending its lockout, the American Hockey League will have to carry die-hard fans in Sabreland.
"It's nice to talk about hockey again," said center Cody Hodgson, who served as the Amerks' captain. "It's a good feeling just to be on the ice in a competitive nature in games that mean something."
The Amerks have just two preseason games (they visit the Penguins on Friday), so coach Ron Rolston dressed a lineup that could mirror the opening-night roster Oct. 12.
Four members of the starting five — Hodgson, left wing Luke Adam, right wing Corey Tropp and defenseman Brayden McNabb — played in Buffalo last season. Left wing Marcus Foligno lined up alongside veterans Kevin Porter and Mark Mancari. Sabres prospects Zemgus Girgensons and Mark Pysyk got their first taste of professional hockey.
Numerous members of the Sabres' hockey department, including scouting directors Jon Christiano and Kevin Devine, spent the evening taking notes.
They saw the Amerks fall into a 2-0 first-period hole but use the power play to open the year with some positives. Adam dumped home the carom of a Mancari slap shot for the first goal. Phil Varone recorded the Amerks' second power-play goal to send the teams into the third period tied.
The Penguins boarded their bus with the victory after scoring twice in the final 1:52, enough to hold off Brayden McNabb's goal at the buzzer.
Amerks goalie David Leggio vehemently argued with the ref as the goal light shined on the third goal. It beat listening to lawyers arguing in the NHL offices.
"As disappointing as it is to lose an exhibition game, it's just nice to get back at it," said Mancari, who had three assists. "I can't wait to start the season next week."

Three people with political connections are among the latest hires at the Erie County Water Authority, a body long criticized for its patronage hiring.
Timothy Meegan, son of West Seneca Supervisor Sheila Meegan, and Sean O'Neil, a former County Legislature aide, started work as water utility workers during the last two weeks.
The authority last week also appointed attorney Timothy Gallagher as part-time counsel. Gallagher is a member of the Conservative Party's executive committee and the son of Ray Gallagher, a former state senator and former chairman of the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority.
All three are positions that do not require a civil service test. The three are the latest employees hired at the Water Authority who have connections to local political officials or have worked on political campaigns, despite new hiring policies aimed at widening the pool of applicants beyond political circles.
"Everybody that we hire is qualified for the positions," said Matthew J. Baudo, secretary to the authority and personnel director. "We do vet out our candidates. We have a screening process, as well, and they're required to perform."
The three hires are among seven new employees at the Water Authority so far this year. Three others were hired based on results of civil service exams, and a seventh position is pending a civil service classification from the state, which would determine whether an exam is required.
Meegan and O'Neil were chosen out of a pool of 12 people who submitted resumes after two openings for water utility workers were posted on the authority's website under a new policy in which all positions are advertised online, Baudo said. Seven people were interviewed for the laborer jobs, which do not require a civil service test as non-competitive positions.
Both are former county employees who worked most recently as part-time auto bureau cashiers in the County Clerk's Office, according to Erie County payroll records. O'Neil also previously worked as a communications aide to the Legislature's Republican caucus for five months on a temporary basis and has done campaign work for the Erie County Republican Party.
O'Neil was hired for a permanent water utility worker position and started last week with a salary of $43,950. Meegan, who will start at a salary of $41,496, was hired on a temporary basis to fill a position left vacant by an employee on leave, Baudo said.
Gallagher was hired at a rate of $100 an hour to work up to 19 hours every two weeks.
Sheila Meegan, a Democrat, said her son first submitted an application to the Water Authority in 2009.
"He's a grown man. That's an interest of his, a career position he's headed for," Meegan said. "Right now, he's finishing up his bachelor's. I'm not going to, obviously, stand in the way of any career choices he makes."
Timothy Meegan is also the grandson of Christopher P. Walsh, a former West Seneca Democratic Party chairman who is a close political ally of former County Democratic Chairman G. Steven Pigeon.
Meegan said she was contacted by County Democratic Chairman Jeremy Zellner a few weeks ago about the fact that her son had submitted a resume to the Water Authority, a conversation Zellner said he did not recall.
"I don't know why she would say that I would try to help her," said Zellner, who heads the often-fractious party. "In all reality, if I was able to be that influential over there, I certainly wouldn't be helping somebody who's not helping our organization."
The three other people hired by the Water Authority this year for competitive civil service positions, based on results of recent exams, are Scott Papierz and Nathan Skiba, water treatment plant operator trainees, and Melody Gil, an account clerk. The authority also hired Michael Lee to replace a diesel generator mechanic, and that is the position awaiting classification by the state, Baudo said.

Everyone who has a smartphone will recognize the problem. Your smartphone falls and the screen is broken. This problem is something almost every user has to deal with. When you screen breaks it's not just ugly, but another problem is that your smartphone may stop working as effectively as it used to be and it may cause a limited view of what is on the screen. So we all hate this, and how can we prevent this from happening?
Repairing your Smartphone Screen
When your screen is broken there is a big advantage to repairing it. The advantages are just the opposite reasons of why a broken screen is awful. For repairing your screen you could try repairing it yourself, but that is tricky. It is best to let your screen be repaired by an expert so you are sure that it is done right and your phone doesn't break down further.
Screen Protection
Basic scratches can come easily on your screen and those can become deeper as time passes. To avoid the regular scratches on your screen you can apply a screen protector. A screen protector is a piece of plastic that you put over the screen of your smartphone. When you apply it to the screen you need to make sure there is no air under it otherwise your screen doesn't work as well as it should.
Cover for your phone
To avoid it from breaking your screen when it falls you can put your phone in a cover. The covers that are available have different materials. They come in silicone, wood, steal or hard plastic. Also the design of those covers varies a lot. So for every person there is a design that suits their style. The bad side of those covers is that the phone gets thicker and doesn't lie in your hand as well as without one.
Stash it Safely
Leaving your phone on the edge of a table is not the smartest thing to do, the chance that it falls off is much greater than when you put it safe in a bowl. You see many people who stash their keys, wallet and phone in a bowl and with this you always know where your keys and phone are and when you put the bowl in a safe place the chance of your phone breaking inside your house are slim.
Having a phone with a broken screen can be really annoying. But when it is broken you can repair it yourself or by someone who does it for a living. To prevent your phone screen from breaking you can stash it safe, put a screen protector on it and put it in a cover.

Prolaxshop NRW Cup 2009
Lacrosse got off to an early start this year in North-Rhine Westphalia with the first ever ProLaxShop NRW Cup on February 14th and15th. The round-robin tournament saw four teams from throughout NRW meet at Düsseldorf Sport Club, the home of DSC '99, in its first year.
Teams from Aachen, Cologne, Düsseldorf, and a mixed team made up of players from Bielefeld and Münster each played three full-length games over the course of the two-day tournament, and at the end Aachen stood victorious besting Bielefeld/Münster 23-5, Cologne 12-2, and Düsseldorf 15-0, followed by Cologne in second place with Düsseldorf taking third.
The weather held out in Düsseldorf through the end of the tournament letting the players showcase their sport to German fans and media. Fans from all over the state as well as newspaper and television reporters were in attendance to catch a glimpse of the American game, which is still very foreign to the German general public. "The tournament was really great considering it was in its first year," explained Michael Meyer, one of the tournament's organizers. "All the games ran smoothly and the teams got a lot of good exposure to one another. Lacrosse in Germany is really small, and it takes tournaments like this one to help the sport spread and develop."
This tournament was the first time that a lot of the players had seen game time since the end of the fall season last November.
In the DSC clubhouse after winning the tournament, Frederic du Bois-Reymond, player/coach for the Aachen A-Team explained why this tournament is so important: "We really had to shake off the rust going into the second half of the season." He continued to explain that gaining experience is one of the hardest things for a new lacrosse player, and the tournament was a great place to try out new players in the lineup.
Also new to the field in Düsseldorf was a team of three referees in the final stage of their training. The tournament served as a training ground for the new refs, giving them the much-sought experience in a relaxed, tournament environment. The students who passed their practical exam over the weekend are now certified national lacrosse referees, providing much needed reinforcement to the ranks of German lacrosse refs. The training was organized by Aachen's Tim Pohlmann.
In the West German Lacrosse League, regular season play starts again in mid march, but the NRW cup marked the beginning of practice for Aachen, Bielefeld and Münster. Cologne and Düsseldorf had been practicing throughout the winter.
Because of the positive resonances the organizers intend to hold the ProLaxShop NRW Cup next year again. Dominique Nebreklijevic, the host and organizer, forecasts a larger tournament with expanded participation of men's teams and even a women's bracket.

MIFFLINTOWN - With the 2012 election less than a month away, the Juniata County Board of Elections is urging area residents to consider helping at local polling stations.
"We need help," Jeffrey Zimmerman, of the Board of Elections, said. "Right now, we're down eight folks at this point in time."
The county is in search of individuals interested in serving as: Democratic Inspector of Elections, Delaware Township; Republican Inspector of Elections, Fermanagh Township; Democratic Inspector of Elections, Greenwood Township; Judge of Elections, Lack/Lack Precinct; Democratic Inspector of Elections, Lack/Lack Precinct; Republican Inspector of Elections, Mifflin Borough; Democratic Inspector of Elections, Spruce Hill Township; and Democratic Inspector of Elections, Tuscarora/Tuscarora Precinct.
The inspector of elections and judge of elections positions will be filled by appointment of the court. Individuals appointed will hold their position until Dec. 31, 2013.
Zimmerman said newly-appointed election officials will attend a training session at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 1 at the Juniata Courthouse. On Election Day, they will be sworn in at 6:30 a.m. by the Judge of Elections and will remain at the polling station until all materials are prepared to be turned in at the Voter Registrar's Office at the courthouse. A full day runs until after polls close at 8 p.m.
"You never realize how much work goes into running an election until you're part of it," Zimmerman said.
Though Election Day means long hours spent at the polls, help is needed and appreciated by the Board of Elections. Board member Teresa O'Neal said without public staffing, elections simply can't happen.
Election officials receive a stipend based on how many people vote at their station. Officials are also reimbursed for mileage to and from the polling place.
Those interested in being considered for appointment should contact S. James Bahorik, chief clerk, P.O. Box 68, Mifflintown, PA, 17059 or by phone at 436-7704 before Oct. 24.

Instead, the pregnant Jersey Shore star, 24, is enjoying sober girl time with best friend Jenni "JWOWW" Farley in Mexico at a "family friendly" resort while the two film their MTV spinoff.
"She's having fun soaking up the sun with non-alcoholic drinks," a source tells PEOPLE. "She's not drinking alcohol; she's getting a lot of rest."
"She would never do anything to endanger this baby," the source continues. "She takes it very seriously and is doing everything she needs to and more to have a healthy baby."
The reality star also made time for some fun with dolphins, getting up close during an encounter on Isla Mujeres.
Adds the source: "Her next vacation will probably include her making sand castles on a beach with her baby and [fiancé] Jionni [Lavelle]."

In the Middle Ages, the rock wall of the mountain massif which surrounds the small village was regarded as a dangerous and cursed place where the devil did his worst. Accordingly, the place name of Les Diablerets also derives from the French 'le Diable', the devil. But no one need harbour any fears in Les Diablerets today, at the most some courage for the multitude of adventurous sports on offer. A varied, child-friendly programme of events and adjusted prices and infrastructure characterise the efforts that have been made to accommodate the needs of our younger guests.
Active guests in particular will get their money's worth in Les Diablerets. Skiing and snowboarding until well into the early summer in the glacier ski region of Glacier 3000 offer competition to a wide range of adventure sports: canyoning, hydro speed, paragliding, dirt monster biking (a cross between mountain biking and motorcycling), tyrolienne traversing, or the highest Alpine Coaster (toboggan run on tracks) at the Glacier 3000 mountain station. The «Indiana» fun obstacle course and fixed rope routes round off the activities.
But traditional sports are certainly also on offer: walking (250 km of walking trails) and mountain biking. And excursions to the Aigle viticultural museum not far from Lake Geneva, the Bex salt mine in the lower Valais, or by postal bus across the Col du Pillon to the nearby sophisticated resort of Gstaad are always worthwhile.
Three ski regions with a total of 125 km of pistes and a snow park extend up to an altitude of 3000 metres . The cross-country network of tracks consists of 30 kilometers of classical Nordic track and 15 kilometers of skating trails. Further attractions include a 7.2 km long toboggan run, snow-shoe walks, snow biking and ice fall climbing.

Some of Sydney's best beaches are within a 10 km radius from the city centre. Explore the popular beaches of Bondi and Manly, go further afield to Sydney's Northern Beaches, or discover some hidden gems inside Sydney Harbour. At popular beachside destinations, you'll find exceptional waterside dining, cafés and bars, great shopping and vibrant night-life.
Wriggle your toes in the soft white sand. Relax in the sun after an invigorating swim. Watch board riders and bodysurfers catch a wave or yachts glide across sparkling waters. Enjoy a picnic on the sand. It's all part of the beach lifestyle that makes Sydney such an enticing destination.
Discover the abundant sandy choices, from world-famous Bondi Beach to a tranquil oasis inside the majestic Sydney Harbour. At the beaches, there are plenty of things to see and do including boating, swimming, surfing and exhilarating walks along sandstone headlands for spectacular views.
At Bondi, one of Sydney's most popular beaches, you'll find locals and tourists alike walking, jogging and swimming. Many visit the beaches just to soak up the lively vibe and enjoy the beachside dining options and vibrant night-life, or watch a glorious sunrise over the splendid Pacific Ocean.
Manly is another favourite destination. The Manly ferry from Circular Quay makes for a magnificent ride across one of the world's greatest natural harbours. Enjoy a fun trip to Manly SEA LIFE Sanctuary, where you can even dive with sharks. Hire a bike in Manly and tour the coastline, from Shelly Beach at the southern end of Manly Beach to Freshwater Beach found around the northern headland.
For some more tranquil beach options, head to Clovelly and Coogee. Coogee connects to Bondi with a beautiful six-kilometre coastal walk. Grab a coffee or hot chocolate at a café on either as you take in the stunning views.
In Mosman, on the northern side of Sydney Harbour, you'll find picturesque Balmoral Beach. At Dee Why, stay connected with free Wi-Fi and surf from a beachside café. Farther north is Palm Beach, the setting for many scenes from iconic Australian TV show Home and Away.
The beaches also offer plenty of water sport activities. Learn to surf at one of the accredited surf schools at popular beaches. Snorkelling in the harbour or around rock platforms in the ocean is popular, too. At popular beaches you can hire kayaks, surfboards, beach chairs and umbrellas.
Surfboards and summer in Sydney go hand in hand. Take on the challenges of Sydneys world-famous breaks or sign up for surf lessons at Bondi Beach.
One of the best ways to see Sydney Harbour is from the deck of a yacht. The city's many coastal routes offer plenty of options for a daytrip or overnight cruise.
Sydney's coastline features a series of ocean pools carved out of cliffs and rocky headlands, offering delightful swimming experiences.
Sandcastles and fish and chips by the sea make Sydney's beaches a pleasant option as part of your family holiday. Child-friendly beaches include Coogee, with its gentle waters; Manly, with its many beach-side eateries; and the shady parkland of Balmoral.
With hundreds of beaches to choose from, you don't need to go far to find the perfect wave or claim your own place on the sand in Sydney. For the ultimate in surf and sand head to Bondi, Coogee, Bronte, Tamarama, Manly, Queenscliff, Clovelly, Narrabeen and Palm Beach.
Love a secluded beach? Sydney has plenty of those, too. Get off the beaten track and enjoy the sand and surf at Milk Beach in Vaucluse, Jibbon Beach in the Royal National Park and Resolute Beach in Ku Ring Gai Chase National Park.
Always swim between the red and yellow flag; surf lifesavers have identified this area as the safest spot to swim in the water. It's also a good idea to always swim with a friend.
Check conditions before you go. You can also find patrolled beach by visiting beachsafe.org.au.

7 Tips for Shopping Safely OnlineMonica Vila
Click click click….online shopping has never been more popular, particularly as customers turn to smartphones and other mobile devices to execute their transactions. But although online shopping offers convenience, it also carries a certain amount of risk, exposing personal and financial information to would-be attackers looking to defraud or impersonate unsuspecting consumers.
Attackers can target online shoppers in a variety of different ways: by intercepting unsecure transactions; by creating fraudulent web sites and e-mail messages; by targeting unprotected computers; or by collecting sensitive data through corrupt apps.
However, there are some simple steps that online shoppers can take to make themselves less vulnerable. Here are a few suggestions:
- Only do business with reputable vendors. Before you provide any sensitive information, make sure you are dealing with a reputable, established vendor. Locate and note contact information and how customer issues are dealt with. This also applies to apps you download from the various app stores. Make sure the app is official and gets good reviews from other customers.
- Make sure sensitive information is encrypted. If you are considering making an online purchase or uploading sensitive financial information, look for a URL that begins with "https" instead of "http". This indicates a certain level of security. Also look for a padlock or shield icon, which indicates recognized encryption software.
- Only use secure networks. Avoid using unsecure or "open" networks, where sensitive data could be visible to others. Your smartphone hotspot is always a good option if you are using a tablet or computer outside of the home. Make sure that a password has been set to prevent others from using the network.
- Use a credit card. Always use a credit card to pay for online transactions, rather than a debit card, money order or other forms of "cash." Credit card companies will provide a certain amount of protection against fraud, limiting or eliminating your liability.
- Be wary of e-mails requesting information. Banks and legitimate businesses do not request sensitive information via e-mail. Even though e-mails may look official and even include logos and other corporate branding, they could be phishing attacks or other scams. Check with your bank or vendor before you respond.
- Use different passwords for different vendors. Don't use the same password for all your online accounts. If a password is intercepted or stolen from one account, it makes all your other online transactions vulnerable as well.
- Keep software up-to-date. Make sure your browser and operating software is up-to-date. Attackers are constantly looking for vulnerabilities in operating systems and manufacturers regularly offer updates to eliminate potential weaknesses. Also, make sure you lock your smartphone when it's not in use.
Do you have any other tips for safe online shopping you can share with us? We all learn mostly from each other!

grounding of the USAF F-22 Raptor fleet has dragged on for months as the investigation
into what caused issues with the onboard oxygen generation system were
investigated. At this point, there is still no clear answer on what gave
multiple pilots hypoxia-like symptoms during flights. Affected pilots in
several instances were found to have toxins in their blood.
Last week, reports indicated that USAF chief Gen. Norton Schwartz would be given options to grant flight
status back to the F-22 fleet. Schwartz has approved a plan that will allow the
160 F-22 aircraft in the fleet to fly above 50,000 feet according to Defense News. The Raptor has a
60,000-foot ceiling.
The life
support systems will be inspected daily on all of the aircraft, and all the
systems will be extensively inspected before any of the jets take to the skies.
The plan also calls for F-22 pilots to undergo physiological tests and to have
additional protective equipment when they fly. Exactly what the extra equipment
would be is unknown.
"We now have enough insight from recent studies and investigations that a
return to flight is prudent and appropriate," Schwartz said. "We're
managing the risks with our aircrews, and we're continuing to study the F-22's
oxygen systems and collect data to improve its performance."
As the F-22 fleet is preparing to return to the skies, the long-delayed and over
budget F-35 fighter is again under pressure. USAF Secretary Michael
Donley pledged support to the F-35 on September 19. However, with budget cuts
coming and Washington looking for everything they can find to cut costs, Donley
didn't offer answers to what functionalities on the F-35 the USAF would be willing
to lose to bring the cost of the fighters down.
Donley said that it would be difficult to eliminate core functionality from the
program. "There are 12 core functions in the Air Force, there are none
that we can just jettison," Donley said. "Each of those core
functions is performing an important mission not just for the Air Force but the
joint team."
Lockheed Martin says that as of now the F-35B STOVL version of the fighter is
ahead on flight testing slightly and will be heading to sea trials in the first
week of October if all goes as planned. The carrier-based F-35C will start sea
trials next spring according to officials.

Published November 1, 2013
Two key members of the defense team that won acquittal for the defendant in the Trayvon Martin case in Florida will be in Buffalo on Nov. 7 as part of the 10th annual Buffalo Niagara Trial Competition, hosted by the UB Law School.
Attorneys Mark O'Mara, lead counsel for George Zimmerman, and Don West, a 1980 graduate of UB Law School, will be part of a panel presentation titled "Success at Every Stage of Trial." They will be joined by distinguished legal figures Terrence M. Connors, '71, of Connors and Vilardo LLP; Paul J. Cambria Jr. of Lipsitz Green Scime Cambria LLP; Erie County Court Judge Sheila A. DiTullio and Assistant U.S. Attorney Trini E. Ross, '92.
The panel presentation will take place during a seminar from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Buffalo Convention Center. The audience will consist of top student advocates from 36 law schools who will be competing in the trial competition. The competition runs Nov. 8-11. Local attorneys and judges, many of whom will be judging or evaluating the student trials, also are expected to attend the seminar.
"This is a great opportunity for aspiring and practicing trial lawyers to hear the secrets of success from those who have succeeded at the highest levels of the profession," says Thomas P. Franczyk, an Erie County Court judge who co-directs the Law School's Trial Advocacy Program with attorney and UB Council member Chris O'Brien of The O'Brien Firm PC.
Franczyk also serves as competition director and will moderate the seminar.
Following the morning session on Nov. 7, students will spend an hour in Erie County Court with prominent local attorney Thomas H. Burton, who will talk to them about the art, science and psychology of successful trial tactics and strategy.
During the competition, which will be held in the courtrooms of Buffalo City Court, student advocates will argue both sides of a fictional homicide case. Defendant JL King, a retired NBA star turned auto dealer, is charged with shooting his former schoolmate and business partner, Shecky Cashman, on King's front lawn during an early morning altercation. The prosecution alleges that King executed Cashman after disarming him because he believed that Cashman had ripped off their business and slept with his wife. The defendant claims that the gun went off accidentally as he was defending himself and his wife from a masked robber, who turned out to be Cashman.
Four preliminary rounds will be held at 9:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. Nov. 8 and 9. The advancing 20 teams will be announced at an awards banquet Nov. 9 in the Buffalo Convention Center. The ensuing rounds will take place at 9:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Nov. 10, with semifinal and championship rounds on Nov. 11 at the same times.
In addition to UB Law School, the competing schools are Catholic, Chicago Kent, Georgia State, Georgia, Pace, Pacific McGeorge, Villanova, Widener-Delaware, St. Mary's of Texas, Syracuse, Nova, Denver, Houston, Campbell, St. John's, South Dakota, American, Fordham, Duquesne, Barry, Northwestern, Texas/Austin, Florida State, Creighton, DePaul, Seton Hall, Suffolk, Akron, Connecticut, Cooley, Faulkner, Florida Coastal, Loyola Chicago, Temple, and William and Mary.

Saw it today. I have to say I have seen worse, but after a week's comp, I am still glad I didnt attend. Thumbs up to Vincent, the Shibs, Courtney, and Lindsay Davis who was skating "under the weather" in Mark's words.....when I first saw those tatoos it gave me quite a start!
Any videos from the gala? I can't find any on Youtube =(
At the risk of alienating iluvtodd, I have to say I have stopped watching Disson shows. I dont like the lighting, camera editing from singer to skater and back, and the watered down programs that seem to be on small ice. BTW, at one time Barry Manilow music was played in parks in Australia at night to keep the young toughs from congrigating.....
We're sort of getting off the topic here but I had to share this. Some years ago I went to the Brian Boitano Christmas Special. It was taped at PacBell Park (where the SF Giants play) and Barry was the featured guest. They had constructed a skating rink in the outfield and our first disappointment was it was so far away from our seats that we had to content ourselves with just watching the Jumbotron. In addition to Brian skating they had Victor Petrenko and I honestly can't remember who else. It was HORRIBLE....at least when Barry sang. He was so off-key, off-tempo, etc. that he was causing problems with the skaters trying to do their programs. In fact, two of the programs were re-skated to recordings of the songs.
I agree with Coyote Chris about the Disson shows. If it's skating we should be watching the skaters - not the singers, no matter who they are.
(Man, I must be mentally depleted from all the cold weather. Two animal metaphors in one paragraph.)
If I really want to be a purist about skating, I'll go hunting around on YouTube and watch videos of Janet Lynn. Otherwise, at least our favorite sport turns up from time to time where we can get a glimpse of it.
Actually, I forgot that watching a show live is way different than the garbage we see on TV.....I love Celtic Woman....If I saw them live at a skate, I could watch them or the skate. I have seen them live three times (I am the guy in the audience yelling, "Hayley, I want to have your baby!" (just to embarras my wife, of course) While I enjoyed Stars on Ice when SH ran it (we got seats on the ice to get the full experience) and loved Champions on Ice, once I saw a competition, I was hooked and the shows lost their luster and audience...now the comps are loosing their audiences.....tear falls...
Actually, there are only 6 (!) stops on the US SOI tour this season (2 of them have already taken place - Lake Placid, NY & Hershey, PA).
If Disson Skating is changing its name, I think that bodes even worse for skating - we'll continue to see less & less of the skaters!
A little off topic, but what did you guys think of Kurt's "Gotta Skate" shows - live/on TV?

MIFFLINTOWN - The number 17 seems small when compared to tens of thousands.
Yet, God has proven over and over again that faith, not numbers, makes the difference.
So it is with Houses of Hope for Haiti, the Juniata County-run organization that sends and built temporary houses for Haitians who were displaced in a massive earthquake a little more than a year ago.
The organization shipped its first pack of 17 house kits in August, and in late October a team of 10 volunteers traveled to the impoverished nation to build the structures.
Their work days were long, hot and strenuous with 6 a.m. departure times, heavy loads to carry up and down hills, and end-of-the-day hikes through the rain to their ride back to camp, said Dwayne Graybill, a member of the River Church in Mifflintown who also serves on the organization board.
Early every morning, the team loaded all their supplies onto a truck that drove the team to their locations, Graybill said. Usually the team separated and worked in two groups, he said.
Of the team, most were from Central Pennsylvania, though only a few came from Juniata County. The team came together through the God's Missionary Church World Missions, which is a partner in Houses of Hope for Haiti.
"Most of the time we had crowds of people around us," Graybill said. "One place, we counted 75 people watching."
Because of the language barrier and only the truck driver as translator, Graybill said they did not interact much with the Haitians.
The houses are meant to be temporary shelters, built on foundations of houses that were ruined in the earthquake, he said.
"This is an 8-by-16 (foot) house," Graybill said. "That's smaller than a lot of people's bedrooms, and there are whole families living in here."
Not one Haitian complained that their house was too small, he said. Instead, they were very grateful, he said.
"One lady said this would be the first time since the earthquake that she could keep her clothes dry," Graybill said.
A number of organizations are building houses in Haiti, but so many tent cities still exist, he said, mourning that the organization's impact is not greater.
At the God's Missionary Church compound in Carrefour where they stayed, tents were lined up back to back, leaving no space for anything else, Graybill said.
Four of the houses they built went to families who lived in the compound tents, Graybill said.
About half the houses were built in Leogane, about 45 minutes from Port au Prince at the epicenter of the earthquake, he said.
The group left after building all the houses except one. A land ownership issue for the 17th house was not settled at the time of the team's visit, Graybill said. Since then, the family gained legal rights to the land and built the house themselves, he said.
Houses of Hope for Haiti sent a second shipment of 20 house kits on Jan. 31, said Lori King, a founding member who serves on the organization board.
When the houses arrive, the organization plans to send smaller teams in the spring to help the Haitians build the houses themselves, King said.
The progress will be slower, but Houses of Hope wants the Haitians to take ownership and pride in their new home through participation in its construction, she said.
King said the dilemma that the organization now faces is whether to continue building the temporary houses or begin constructing permanent structures.
In the long term, Graybill, who also serves on the organization board, said Houses of Hope does plan to transition to permanent structures. The decision of when is what remains, he said.
Representatives of Houses of Hope for Haiti are available for speaking engagements at area churches and the model house can be moved for display.
For more information, call King at 527-9985 or visit www.housesofhopeforhaiti.com.

4 Sport Scenes in Movies (by People Who Don't Watch Sports)
#2. Twilight Doesn't Understand Baseball
Generally I try to avoid being the type of person who fixates on one piece of garbage in a landfill because everyone already knows it's a landfill so who cares? But when that piece of garbage is, say, a human limb, I feel obliged to comment on it. Twilight is a landfill of a franchise, and even with all its profound and irrevocable problems, watching the baseball scene in the first movie is like stumbling over a severed, limp-wristed hand glimmering in the sunlight.
It's hard to watch the whole thing and not feel like someone, somewhere deserves to be punished for its creation. The scene immediately jumps the rails as soon as the hip-hop vampire playing outfield warms up with some shadowboxing. I don't mean to devalue the importance of warming up before any sort of rigorous physical activity, but dodging fake punches is pretty piss-poor preparation for baseball. Also, and this point seems crucial to the plot of the entire movie, he's immortal. Is pulling a deltoid really a common problem for permanently 18-year-old vampires?
Finally, when they've all presumably done enough air-boxing and pretend bicycling or whatever to get loose, the game starts. The pitcher winds up with a perfect dancer's toe-point, ready to bring the heat, then fires the saddest dawdling fart of a pitch anybody has ever bothered to capture in slow motion. Even 200 years of life isn't enough time to allow this girl the practice necessary to achieve mediocrity.
One of the first batters is the head vampire, and for a brief moment, it looks like maybe he knows what he's doing. He crushes the ball into the gap between outfielders, so they both have to try to make a play. It's possible that he, unlike all the other actors, has at least heard a game of baseball on the radio before. But just as quickly as he builds up our expectations, he topples them all to the ground: While the ball is still headed into the stratosphere, he slides.
Not the cool, power kind of slide, the regular feet-first kind.
He slides into some base, any base, it doesn't matter which one. The ball is 3 miles away and still heading in the opposite direction when he dives into the dirt because sliding is just what baseball player do, apparently.
But the real icing on this cake of colossal boners is at 1:57, when the left-handed girl vampire hits the ball so hard that it generates a shockwave in the face of the catcher.
Jesus, get a hair tie or something, you've done this before.
While I'm willing to believe that kind of power wouldn't do anything more to an immortal person than blow her hair back a little, that baseball is just an ordinary baseball. It's not made out of vampires or anything. If she hit it with enough force to create a shockwave, that ball should have exploded, or at the very least, Bella's eardrums would have exploded. In fact, if this scene would have ended with blood gushing down the sides of her face and the vampires rushing her to an ER, I would have forgiven every clumsy baseball inaccuracy, and probably every inaccuracy in the entire franchise.
#1. The Room Doesn't Understand "Having a Catch"
If you've never seen The Room, I can only describe it as life-changingly awful. Tommy Wiseau is the writer, director, producer, and possible burn victim starring as the protagonist.
Just be thankful I didn't screen cap the nude scene.
And while his movie is full of problems, one of the most glaring and persistent is his preconceived notion of America's favorite pastime: playing catch.
Every time the men in the movie need to talk or handle a piece of fragile exposition, they do it while pushing a football through the air at each other. It's not even fair to call what they do throwing because there's absolutely zero effort put into ball orientation or consistency with each pass. Sometimes they throw it sideways, sometimes they just fling it underhand, but every single time that the ball makes it to its intended target feels like a miracle.
It's impossible to go through everything that's wrong in these scenes because they go wrong in every direction all the time. Instead, I'll just leave you with a montage. If you're looking for plot, don't bother. It's easier to just think of this as one 90-minute fever dream in which a bunch of aliens put on human skin suits (except for the one who prefers wearing a hunk of fruit leather and a wig) to recreate a hobby they've only read about in some scorched almanac they found in the remnants of our civilization. Enjoy!

AS MAUI TURNS . . . The old KFC spot in Pukalani Square shopping center upcountry will be sizzlin' soon as the first Fatburger on Maui. Starting Monday and running all week long, official grand-opening festivities will include live music and giveaways such as hand-scooped ice cream shakes.
The Fatburger phenomenon was started by Lovie Yancey back in 1952 and its popularity has spread around the globe from its roots in Southern California.
"A lot of people are waiting for this here on Maui," says owner Ernie Abarro, who also operates IHOP at the Maui Mall in Kahului. " We have an outdoor patio and just bought nice outdoor furniture for 24 people and have seating inside for 22 people."

Former Kobe Steak House teppanyaki chef and Wow Wee Wayne's World sushi chef Wayne Miyahira is back on island after about seven years of dazzling sushi lovers in Sin City restaurants.
Wayne's Sushi & Karaoke Bar is targeted to open today in Haiku, sharing the fun and open-air space on Kokomo Road with North Shore Cafe by day and shining alone for dinner at night.
Hours will be 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. It's BYOB for now, "As soon as I get organized, I want to do teppanyaki during the dinner hours," says owner-chef Miyahira. "My signature sushi specials are What Brah? Beef with shrimp tempura, asparagus and beef tenderloin in ginger-pepper dressing; Cajun ahi salad with Asian-Caucasian dressing; and No Yuzu Me with walu and more."
Wayne says he moved back here from Vegas as his wife, Heidi, missed the islands. Their son, Jesse Miyahira, also cooks in the restaurant.
"It's a team effort," says Wayne. "I'm the singing sushi chef. Jesse does rap. So we do a combo entertainment kind of thing for you." Call 281-8810.
The buzz around town is Moana Cafe in Paia has got new owners and that the whole place has been upgraded with new furniture and air conditioning.
"I am just giving it a lot of love," says owner Yulie Law, who bought the restaurant in May with her husband, David Law. The couple moved here from Palo Alto, Calif, recently and brought in some hot chefs.
"We have one chef who worked at the Cliff House and the Ritz-Carlton in San Francisco; and another from upscale restaurants in Seattle," says Yulie. "We do breakfast, lunch and dinner and our dinner service is completely different from what it used to be."
Tapas are the dinner focus and dishes include ahi poke tostadas, puffed rice nori, Hamakua mushrooms, and pork ribs that fall off the bone. Yulie is of Korean descent, so she makes a mean kim chee, too.
Sir Wilfred's coffee and tobacco shop on Front Street in Lahaina has a new espresso bar and it will offer two-for-one specials on its Summer Buzz drinks during the 4th of July festivities in town.
BITS AND PIECES . . . . Chambers & Chambers Wine Merchants is working with Dalla Terra, an importer of Italian wines, which brings some of the best varietals from around that country to Hawaii.
"To kick off our partnership, we will be hosting a dinner at Longhi's Wailea on Friday, June 29th that is not to be missed," says wine educator Jim Powlan. "Special guest will be Dave Holt, the president of Dalla Terra. It is also a fantastic deal at only $65."
You get four courses including bay scallops in Meyer lemon and extra-virgin olive oil, and veal-loin pinwheels all served with five fabulous wines from Vietti, Inama, and Poliziano.
"On top of that, Dave and I are going to bring some really special 'secret' high-end wines that would cost more than the dinner itself," says Powlan.
Rumor has it that Makawao Steak House has been sold to a couple of super solid Maui restaurateurs. We hear Michael and Dana Pastula will take over the landmark eatery in August and that current owners, Ray and Donna Eneim, will keep it running until then.
Several 4th of July fireworks cruises will depart from Maalaea Harbor at 6:30, 6:45 and 7 p.m. aboard the Pacific Whale Foundation catamarans. The cruises all include a buffet of hot and cold appetizers, cold drinks and desserts such as chilled watermelon slices and freshly-baked triple chocolate brownies.

Legal and Psychological Bases of Expert Testimony: Surveys of the Law and of Jurors

Michael J. Saks
Arizona State University (ASU) - Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
Behavioral Sciences & the Law, Vol. 2, p. 435, 1984
This article reviews the basic rules of evidence and procedure that provide the basis for the introduction of expert testimony into court. Second, it reviews some of the findings of social psychology regarding expert testimony, primarily the ways in which the structure of society affects what information will reach the court and what is the readiness of the factfinder to deal with that information. Finally, it reports original data on jurors' assessments of a variety of witnesses (physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, chemists, document examiners, polygraph examiners, police, eyewitnesses, firearms experts, and accountants and appraisers). Jurors' differential assessments of the different experts and differences among juror subgroups are reported and some explanations for a few of those differences are tested.
Keywords: Expert witnesses, jurors, credibility

When a Utah high school class ring was turned in Sunday at the Maui Police Department, Wailuku patrol officer Ka Ena Brown was determined to see it returned to its owner.
Tracking down the St. Mary of the Wasatch ring owner required an email to the alumni director of the now-closed school, research by a Congregation of Holy Cross sister and a check of the basement furnace of a Salt Lake City home.
Within two days, Jane Razzeca was identified as the owner. By Thursday, the ring was being mailed back to her in San Juan Bautista, Calif., where she now lives.
Article Photos
Wailuku patrol officer Ka Ena Brown helped reunite a ring, found in Happy Valley, with its owner Jane Razzeca of San Juan Bautista, Calif. Persistence by the police officer and a series of coincidences helped find the owner of the ring.
The Jostens ring with St. Mary of the Wasatch and a blue stone is shown in this photo.
Shown is the initials "JM" engraved on the inside of the ring.
"Isn't this wild?" Razzeca said when reached by phone Thursday. "It's not something I was looking for. It's probably going to have more value to me than it ever did as a young person. I can't believe it."
"This ring was determined to get back to her through me," Brown said. "I was not going to give up. It's like the Hawaiian connection reaching out."
The school ring, with the initials J.M. and the year 1970, was found in the dirt along Kahawai Street in Happy Valley by a couple who live in the area. They had tried to find the owner through Craigslist for about six months, getting no response before turning it in to the police department.
After finding no MPD report of the ring being lost or stolen, Brown began researching the school on the Internet and sent an email to the director of alumni relations for St. Mary of the Wasatch, which closed its Salt Lake City high school in 1970 but continues to run a college on the same campus.
The request reached Sister Jeanette Fettig in the archives of Sisters of the Holy Cross in Notre Dame, Ind. She said a "lot of coincidences" led her to Razzeca.
Looking in the 1970 yearbook of the all-girls Catholic school, she found only one person - Jane McGill - with the initials J.M. in the class of 84 graduates. The sister wondered if Jane McGill might be among alumni with whom the organization was in contact.
Fettig did find another Wasatch graduate named Jane who was living in Salt Lake City, but she had graduated in 1967. Thinking that Jane may have known Jane McGill, Fettig called Jane and learned that she happened to be living in the former McGill home. Some of the sons in the McGill family were still living in the Salt Lake City area and had occasionally shown up at their former house to show their children where they had been raised.
After checking the basement furnace, where the McGill children had written their names, the woman called Fettig back with a phone number for Jane McGill's brother.
Fettig talked to the brother's wife, who called his sister, now Jane Razzeca, and Razzeca called Fettig.
"It all happened within a half-hour," she said.
"It just was one coincidence after another. If it was supposed to happen, it's going to happen."
Brown learned that the ring owner had been located when she returned to work after two days off. She called Razzeca and confirmed that the ring was hers.
Razzeca said she got the ring at the end of her junior year but stopped wearing it right after graduating from high school when she got engaged. Over the years, she had moved and lost track of the ring.
"How it got to Maui, I have no idea," she said. "I haven't thought about that school ring probably in 35 years."
While she was on Maui six years ago for her daughter's wedding in Wailea, Razzeca said she didn't bring the ring with her.
Brown, who has been an officer for 11 and a half years, was recommended for a commendation for the extra work she put into finding the ring owner.
"We are very proud of officer Brown, who epitomizes the spirit of professional policing for the Maui Police Department and the caring nature of the people of Hawaii," said police Chief Gary Yabuta.
