WILLIAMSBURG - Huntingdon and Williamsburg both have important league games tonight and tomorrow, respectively, but neither team was looking past the other in their non-league matchup Wednesday.
Huntingdon (8-4) picked up its first road win of the season, edging the Blue Pirates 59-53 at the Williamsburg High School gym.
Nate Gearhart scored 22 points and pulled down 12 rebounds for a double-double to lead the Bearcats. Devon Claar scored in double digits as well with 15 points.
"We knew coming in it was a game between two evenly two teams. It was a battle," Huntingdon coach Nick Payne said. "It was a great game. Williamsburg played us really, really hard. Give those guys credit."
Huntingdon jumped out to an 8-0 lead and led from the opening tip to the final buzzer, but Williamsburg was within a bucket or two throughout most of the game.
A 9-0 run midway through the fourth quarter gave Huntingdon its first double-digit lead. Hudson Speck started the spurt with the Bearcat's lone 3-pointer of the game and Gearhart followed with a pair of free throws.
After Speck scored again, Tanner Cook made a layup that gave the Bearcats a 52-38 lead.
Williamsburg (7-4) answered with a run of its own, outscoring the Bearcats 12-1 later in the fourth quarter to make it a one possession game with under a minute to play.
Peyton Brown knocked down a 3-pointer and Austin McMonagle scored back-to-back buckets driving hard to the rim. When Brown putback a Bryce Young miss with 38 seconds left on the clock, Williamsburg trailed just 53-50.
Gearhart converted 7-of-8 free throws after that, however, to seal the victory for Huntingdon.
"We chipped away at it," Williamsburg coach Mike Farrell said. "The defensive intensity was there. Offensively, we played fairly well. We got some quality shots and were able to get some dribble penetration and fouls. We didn't take advantage of our opportunities from the free throw line."
The Blue Pirates finished 10-of-23 from the line. Huntingdon converted 18-of-33 free throws.
Young led Williamsburg with 13 points. He also had eight rebounds. Cody Palmer and Peyton Brown both had double-doubles. Each scored 11 points. Brown grabbed 11 rebounds and Palmer had 10.
Williamsburg plays Juniata Valley Friday for the top spot in the Inter-County Conference North Division. The two teams are tied for first place at 5-1.
"I'm pretty happy with the way we played overall, but we made some silly errors. We'll have to fix those for the Juniata Valley game," Farrell said.
Huntingdon looks to move up in the Mountain League with a game at Central tonight. Central currently leads Huntingdon by one game in the league standings.
"We're getting better each time out. Central's one of the top four teams in the Mountain League. They'll be tough to beat," Payne said.
HUNTINGDON (59): Cook 2 1-2 5, Claar 6 3-8 15, M. Speck 2 2-6 6, Frederick 2 2-5 6, Gearhart 6 10-12 22, H. Speck 2 0-0 5, Montgomery 0 0-0 0, Sulesky 0 0-0 0, Mitchell. Totals - 20 18-33 59.

Does your Toyota need new tires, Central Illinois?
Toyota of Danville
is your tire replacement and repair expert! Your tires are the single most important component normally replaced on your car, truck or van. We know that there is very little between the road and your family's safety....therefore, we treat tire replacement as if we were putting them on our own vehicles.
Knowing when to get new tires is important to the safety of your Toyota and for all drivers. Having enough tread left on your tires and keeping them properly inflated are key factors. Not only does this help with gas mileage, it also improves the comfort and quality of your ride.
We also know that sometimes people just want something with more grip for the winter or a tire and rim that is more upscale and stylish. Check with our
Service and Parts departments
to learn how you can tailor your vehicle to your unique driving and appearance requirements.
Grab an Honest Abe (penny) out of your pocket and place his shiny face within the tire's tread grooves. Insert the penny so that Abraham Lincoln's head faces downward and check to see whether you can still see Abe's face. If the tire tread covers his face, then your tires are probably still good, but if the tire's tread is shallow enough that all of Lincoln's face can be seen, it may be time for new tires. Watch for uneven tread wear as well, this is usually a sign of unbalanced tires or worn suspension, which our experts can fix for you. Tire slippage in different weather conditions like rain, snow and mud may reveal the need for different tires with tread patterns specific to each condition.
We carry the OEM Toyota recommended tires for all Toyotas, including
, and
. We also know how to complete the proper alignment for your Toyota which ensures proper tread wear and extends your tires' life. We also handle tire rotation (often completed with your Toyota oil change here at Toyota of Danville). No matter what make of car that you have you can trust in the service that
Toyota of Danville
provides with every tire change.
Toyota of Danville handles tire repair, having you in and out very quickly.
Contact us
with your situation and let us help. Our satisfied customers who have bought tires for their Toyota come from throughout Illinois and Indiana, including Champaign, Danville, Decatur, Charleston, Mattoon, Springfield, Westville, Monticello, Rantoul, Paris, Mahomet, Terre Haute, Covington, and Crawfordsville.
Let our Toyota tire experts help you decide what tires are best for your vehicle. We can check the tread and see if it is time for new tires or maybe you just need a rotate and balance to keep them running. Call us today at 217-442-8474 to schedule
your appointment
. We will share the results of our tire inspections with you, and then complete the tire service, using genuine OEM Toyota parts and accessories. We have won the Toyota Presidents award in back to back years for customer satisfaction, and with your help we look to make it again!

45-yr-old Brit virgin flies to US for sex with Helen Hunt`s 'The Sessions' character inspiring woman
New York: Inspired by the movie 'The Sessions', a British IT engineer and devout Christian, who, at the age of 45, was still a virgin and unhappy about it, flew to the US to meet with Cheryl Cohen-Greene, a 68-year-old sex therapist and surrogate sex partner who provided the inspiration for Helen Hunt`s character in the film.
The therapy changed the life of Clive, the New York Daily News reported.
Clive`s therapy, documented in a new British TV special "40-Year-Old Virgins," consisted of two weeks of foreplay designed to help him get comfortable with his sexuality, capped off with intercourse for the first time.
The documentary also follows Rosie, a 29-year-old virgin who struggles to get over her aversion to men through therapy with her surrogate partner Gary.

The Indians won their series in St. Louis on the strength of their starting pitching. This comes as a surprise as most of the starters have struggled of late, but at least for the last three games, they played magnificently. Ubaldo Jimenez ended the series with his most dominant start of the season. Justin Masterson and Josh Tomlin were also successful as no starting pitcher allowed more than two runs. They will now go on to face Cincinnati at the Great American Ballpark, one of the most power friendly stadiums in the Majors.
The Reds have been slightly successful offensively this year and the majority of their scoring has come from their stellar trio, Joey Votto, Jay Bruce and Brandon Phillips. Their success (currently tied for first in the NL Central) has come from a variety of factors. In fact they are built slightly like the Indians with sufficient starting pitching, a strong group of middle of the lineup hittings and an excellent bullpen. Their closer, Aroldis Chapman, seems to have finally gotten his delivery under control and has been absolutely dominating all year. Even though he has blown two saves he has an ERA of 0.87 and 55 strike outs in 31 innings.
June 12th, 7:10 PM EST: Jeanmar Gomez, RHP, 4-4, 4.97 ERA vs Johnny Cueto, RHP, 6-3, 2.63 ERA
Over his last three starts, Gomez has pitched 15.2 innings and allowed a 9.77 ERA. This comes after a pretty strong start to the season. In those last three starts Gomez allowed a total of 17 runs, while he has only allowed 32 all season. A positive note is that all three starts came against Central Division teams that have seen Gomez at least a couple of times each. He has never faced the Reds before and may be able to take them by surprise.
Cueto is the Reds ace and leads the team in wins, ERA, innings pitched and WHIP. He was always projected to be this dominant and now he is. In fact, he has only had two bad games all season, both of which have occurred recently against the Rockies and Braves. All three of his losses happened in May when he was 2-3 with a 3.49 ERA after going 3-0 with a 1.39 ERA in April.
June 13th, 7:10 PM EST: Derek Lowe, RHP, 7-4, 3.72 ERA vs Mike Leake, RHP, 2-5, 4.97
Lowe's last start was a bad one as he was destroyed by the Tigers for 7 runs in 5 innings. Two starts before that he was beaten by the White Sox when he allowed 8 runs in 2.1 innings. If this every other time out pattern continues, he should pitch very well tonight, but look out next time. Some of this scoring had to do with bad luck as he was getting ground balls against the Tigers, they just weren't finding gloves. If he can continue to keep his sinker down, the odds will work back in his favor and he should be successful most of the time as the season goes on.
Mike Leake looks a lot like Bill Schultz. Like Schultz, he regularly puts out a very average performance without playing too well or too poorly in any particular game. His last two games were two of his strongest this season as he went into the 7th in both, but he still allowed 4 runs in the game against division leading Pittsburgh.
June 14th, 12:35 PM EST: Josh Tomlin, RHP, 3-3, 4.96 ERA vs Mat Latos, RHP, 4-2. 4.85 ERA
Tomlin pitched in the first win against the Cardinals in the last season and will look to build on that success. He allowed just 2 runs on 8 hits and most importantly, didn't allow a home run to Carlos Beltran (or anyone else for that matter). In order for him to maintain this level of play and be a more important part of the Indians starting rotation, Tomlin will need to keep the ball down and inside the ballpark when he faces Cincinnati.
Latos was considered the Reds ace going into the season, but quickly removed himself from that role as he posted a 5.97 ERA during April. He has pitched two games this season where he didn't allow a run, but more often his results have not been as pleasant. In two recent games he allowed 5 home runs to Colorado in 7.1 as part of a record setting day for the two teams and he allowed 7 runs to Houston. Latos has never pitched against Cleveland as he had been part of the Padres prior to this season.

Also there are some cases where scientists and historians create rather convincing photos where the person pre-dated or didn't actually sit for the photograph. These historians and artists use death masks, paintings, period clothing ect. to attempt to get as close as possible to a likeness. Consider this "photograph" of early Mormon leader Hyrum Smith who was the brother of church founder Joseph Smith, Jr. Hyrum's picture has photoshoped together based on some research. The problem is that I originally came across the "photo" attached to his geni.com profile there was absolutely no indication that it is a re-enactment not a real photo. Suspicious that there was an actual photo of this person I did some google searches and found the web site that discussed it in some details.
So here is the comment that I added to the photo so that others would be aware of its particular "provenance".
"... Above is a composite photographic image of Hyrum Smith based on anatomical and historical data available after years of research..." [Which means that this is not an actual photograph of Hyrum Smith] See this web page for more info:

They are skilled these artists and as people are interested in historical persons they can make a fairly good copy of reality. But as they found in a Kings grave i Stockholm a couple of months ago: The burried king was not the king they had thought. They had som DNA and could compare.
The willingness to make history more "alive" to todays audience have made the historians make "wax cabinet"-dolls from old skeletons from viking time and even later as for the ships Vasa and Kronan found in the Baltic sea where they have been since ≈1650. The only thing we can say for sure is "The atmosphere in the museum becomes more alive and the era more understandable". We don't know the eye-, hair- or skincolour. The scandinavians is supposed to have been very blond with blue eyes. But we don't know.
There is soma death maska made from the corps of some kings and e.g. muscian Carl Michael Bellman. They are probably mor true than many portraits, which made the kings taller, more beautiful, hero alike etc.

Gannon's Papich selected as PSAC nominee for NCAA Woman of Year Award
Jen Papich's basketball career at Gannon is over, but the accolades for her continue.
Papich, a senior forward for the Lady Knights this past season, was selected as the PSAC's nominee for the NCAA's 24th annual Woman of the Year Award. It honors women who excel inside and outside college athletics.
The NCAA will whittle the list of 446 nominees down to the top 10 at each of its levels (Division I, II and III) in early August, and then the top three in September.
The overall winner will be announced during an Oct. 19 ceremony in Indianapolis.
Papich graduated from Fox Chapel before arriving at Gannon. She averaged 14 points and six rebounds as a senior for the 2013-14 Knights and finished sixth in points (1,534) and seventh in rebounds (700) on the team's career lists.
Papich received her bachelor's degree in biomedical engineering and had a grade-point average of 3.95.
She participated in various fundraising endeavors on and off campus, and also was a member of Gannon's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
Should Papich make the cut for the award's final nine, it would be consecutive years that the PSAC had such a finalist. Rocky Grove graduate Kayla Shull, who swam at Clarion, was so honored in 2013.

The decision to broaden the definition of domestic abuse in the UK as outlined by the Home Office to include coercive control has been welcomed by professionals who work with victims of domestic violence and young victims of gang violence. The changes are timely as the numbers of young people between the ages of 16 to 18 experiencing intimate partner abuse increase. The lack of awareness of psychological abuse which tends to be about power and control is exacerbated by the fact that there is more focus on family type relationships.
There is very little awareness with regards to abuse amongst teens which often starts very slyly using various tactics - anger, intimidation, blame, coercion, isolation which culminates in complete control of the victim. Because this type of abuse is not often visible, very few victims seek help or make an effort to leave abusive relationships. According to recent statistics released by NSPCC, a British organisation, only 8 per cent of girls surveyed told a parent or carer about the abuse they were being subjected to by a partner/boyfriend.
It is important to realise that most teen abusers who use power and control in most instances fail to realise the impact of their behaviour and could easily grow up to be abusive spouses/partners There are growing concerns being raised by professionals working with young people in inner cities that abusive behaviour from boys and young men is considered as a normal part of relationships by young girls and women.
A study carried out in 2007 by the NSPCC a children's charity, showed that three quarters of girls and half of boys experienced some kind of emotional violence from their partner and 1 in 3 girls had experienced some sexual violence. A British crime survey also recently revealed that 16-19 year olds were the group most likely to suffer abuse from a partner and the figures were estimated at 12.7 per cent for girls and 6.2 per cent for boys. There is often the fear that reporting these abuses could lead to young people being ostracised from their peer groups. The roles that girls play in gangs found in inner city estates means that a good number of them are subjected to horrific treatment by male members of the gang.
The broad definition of domestic abuse will enable the police and prosecutors to abandon the narrow interpretation of the term so that non-physical behaviour which can also be applicable to teenage victims as young as 16 is included. The benefits of this change will no doubt, take time. Effective awareness raising will only be achieved by adopting various strategies such as integrating the changes into the UK school curriculum to educate young people about the devastating effects of domestic violence which in some cases, end in homicide.
Take action! This post was submitted in response to Ending Gender-Based Violence 2012.
No doubt any changes take time, but what a great step forward! Thank you for sharing that great news! Each and every aspect of all types of abuse need to eventually come to light and be managed. How great to have this form of abuse which is easily overlooked by many finally being focused on and hopefully mitigated to some degree.
Great post!
This is wonderful news Kabukabu. As you mentioned,abuse of any kind is always beyond the physical violence and torture. Many a times the child/girl/woman is psychologically scarred for life.To make matters worse, the intimidation works as a deterrent on her growth prospects and later affects her future life as well.
By increasing the ambit of domestic abuse, it will help many to come out in the open and talk about it.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful news.
Much love,
Mukut Ray
Thank you. Lets keep sharing and raising the voices of women.
Dear Kabukabu, Thank you for sharing with us the wonderful piece of news. Its a great move outlined by the home office in UK to broaden the definition of the heinous crime of "domestic abuse". You are right sister, 'domestic abuse' is not limited to just violence per se. The after effect of 'mental abuse and torture' culminated by anger, intimidation and coercion is very heart wrenching. Physical abuse is easy to detect but psychological abuse and manipulations build over time. But both leave long lasting damage on victims heart and mind.
Its very heart warming to note that government has taken a step. Though it will take time to see the difference but taking the first step is important. Every step counts. I hope this kind of law enforcements happen in every country. Government as well as non government social service agencies should work towards it to enforce these laws, raise awareness and create a 24 hours crisis hotline so that victims can call and take help. Also each of us should be vigilant towards us, towards our sisters and raise awareness and voice whenever possible.
To all my sisters, who have faced these type of situations, we should remember that "it's not our fault if we are subjected to these kind of abuses. Each of us, as a human being deserve to be loved, honored and valued". Under no circumstances we should tolerate these acts. We need to be aware and spread awareness and be always ready to reach out to the victims.
Like 'justice delayed is justice denied, tolerating injustice, and abuse is equivalent to support and facilitate such atrocious acts'. Justice and peace are very closely related. And if someone is denied her fundamental right and not loved and respected, it's injustice and such situations create havoc in the broader sense of peace. So in my opinion until we have not taken care of justice at this individual level, all bigger steps towards justice will turn out to be hoax.
Lets be together and fight for our basic human rights of love, respect and dignity. May God bless everyone! Thank you so much. Love Nusrat
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. ..........Hellen Keller
People sometimes forget or don't realize that these issues of violence against women happen in all places and in all contexts. Thank you for this reminder that it affects all of us!

Natalie Merchant (Elektra)
Since leaving 10,000 Maniacs in 1993, Natalie Merchant has seemingly come up with 10,000 social issues to sing about. This third solo outing is more music for the despondent. Racism, embattled self-esteem and love gone sour all make appearances here. Yet even when she tries to lighten things up musically on "Saint Judas," a rollicking, blue-grassy blend of softly strummed banjo and grinding guitars, the lyrics are about a lynching. She also missteps on a couple of neoclassical ballads, which just come off as strange.
On the timely title track, though, Merchant's vigorous alto captures a sense of national yearning when she plaintively asks for someone to "cradle me, close my eyes/ Lullaby me to sleep." But it's the sardonic "Golden Boy" that shines brightest, as an acerbic Merchant rails against commercialism: "Heroes are born/Idols are made/ We're all fools for this factory fame."

Even in a losing effort Saturday at West Virginia, Kansas freshman Andrew Wiggins gave us a reminder of just what we'll be missing in 2014-15. And Joel Embiid's absence because of a back injury gave us a separate cue of just how vulnerable the Jayhawks are if their star center is unable to play.
Wiggins had a career-high 41 points, with 25 in the second half, and the Jayhawks cut a 22-point second-half deficit to just four points with 11 seconds left before succumbing to the improving Mountaineers 92-86.
MORE: Field of 68 projection
Wiggins' effort was sensational, given he became just the fourth major conference player to score at least 40 points this season, joining Wisconsin's Frank Kaminsky (43), Arizona State's Jahii Carson (40) and Iowa State's Melvin Ejim (48). And Wiggins' efforts throughout the season have been exceptionally consistent—he's scored in double figures in 14 of the 18 Big 12 games.
But the Jayhawks are not the same team without Embiid, who affects play on both ends of the floor. While Kansas coach Bill Self said that Embiid's injury is not a season-ender, it is disconcerting that this is the second time the freshman center has missed time with the back injury, as he sat out a Feb. 15 win vs. TCU. Embiid's status for the Big 12 Tournament could be known tomorrow, when he's evaluated by doctors.
Embiid came back to play four games before missing these final two, and his stat lines in that stretch were every bit as dominant as before the injury. That gives Kansas fans ample hope that everything will be fine.
But if we see Embiid being stretched out during any game from here until the rest of the season, as we saw last week at Oklahoma State, there will be concerns. Even at the end of that loss to the Cowboys, Embiid wasn't the rim protector he needed to be to keep Marcus Smart from winning that game.
To win an NCAA title takes six victories, with each one getting harder to win than the next. If Embiid can't be an effective presence for the Jayhawks for six straight games, Saturday was a reminder that the Jayhawks' championship dreams could go unfulfilled.

This picture's been circulating. Yes, I agree: Finland's been doing things a bit differently. Public school advocates are always anxious to make comparisons. Let me just focus on that first statement there, "We pay teachers like doctors…" So, to me that connotes respect and that teaching is a profession with a respectable status or reputation.
Great, well, take a peek at the picture below, which is data available from UNESCO. Between pre-primary and upper secondary, the average percentage of female teachers is roughly 73% overall. Additionally, the proportion drops as the age of the student increases. The relative proportion in the United States is very similar, around 75%. The proportion of male elementary teachers is about 10%. I'd say Finland is certainly better, around 13% if you average primary and pre-primary.
Don't you find that interesting? A country that is touted for respecting teachers, offering them great esteem, teaching is still so highly divided based on sex? No matter how much prestige you can offer, it's still difficult for a lot of guys to think working with kids is something they can do. Even in Finland.

LAKELAND, Fla. -- Gary Sheffield's 500th home run won't be coming for the Detroit Tigers. Sheffield was released this morning in a surprise move by the club, and told reporters that Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski and manager Jim Leyland informed him that they wanted to go with a more versatile lineup.
"This is a bomb," Leyland said several times when discussing the move.
"This is a gut-wrencher. I've always had a wonderful relationship with Gary Sheffield, and I always will. We shared a world championship together (with the 1997 Florida Marlins). But we're trying to do what gives us the best options. So, I separate the two.

"It's a baseball decision. It gives me a lot more flexibility and gives me the opportunity to rest guys by way of the DH...I like to get more people active."
Sheffield, 40, said Tigers staff members "we're looking at me funny" lately.
"I'm not stunned," he said. "But you don't really know what to feel or what to call it."
Is his career over?
"No," Sheffield said. "It ain't close."
And Leyland agreed with him, saying he will get No. 500 "and many more" in addition to a phone call from his former manager when it happens.
He was set to be the club's designated hitter, and that role now will be filled by outfielder Marcus Thames, who hit 25 home runs in 316 at-bats last year. Sheffield had 19 in 418 at-bats, and 499 for his career.
Leyland said Thames will get the most time there, adding that he might more him to No. 7 in the batting order and move catcher Gerald Laird up to No. 6 (Sheffield's old spot) because Thames is a better RBI man.
"I'll take it head-on," Thames said. "I don't go into the season working for 200 at-bats. You want 500."
Sheffield was entering this season healthy for the first time in several years and looked like the Sheffield of old early in training camp after making a batting stance adjustment with his hands. He was hitting .178 with three home runs and five RBIs in 18 Grapefruit League games.
The club owes Sheffield $14 million, and if he clears waivers he can sign with another club for $400,000. His hometown Tampa Bay Rays would appear to be a strong possibility, and Sheffield is hoping they have a mutual interest.
Sheffield's place is, in essence, taken by reserve outfielder Josh Anderson, obtained Monday for minor league pitcher Rudy Darrow. Anderson can play all the outfield positions, steal bases, bunt and hit for average.
The move also allows the Tigers to keep one of three players in contention for the final roster position spot. First baseman-third baseman Jeff Larish, a left-handed hitter, is the favorite for that spot. Though, outfielders Brent Clevlen and Ryan Raburn remain in contention.

P.L. Bornmann (NOAA/SEC)
The lognormal function, a gaussian with log time, can be used to fit the temporal evolution of the observed x-ray flux from solar flares observed with the disk-integrating GOES X-Ray Sensor. Current fits are reproducing the decay of the x-ray flare based on four fitting parameters derived from the rise phase observations. This the first time we have had a method for predicting the decay of the event from the evolution during the rise phase. This approach also provides the potential to predict the time-integrated (and spatially integrated) flux used for prediction of a subsequent particle event before the flare actually begins to decay. It also provides an opportunity to predict when a flare will fall below levels that have significance to human systems such as short-wave radio and over-the-horizon radar. Scientifically, the success of the lognormal function can be viewed as evidence that the release of x-ray emission is based on a series of physical processes for which the output is statistically proportional to the input (for example, collisional excitation and perhaps energy release as an avalanche of multiple reconnection sites). The success of many of the fits raises the question of why some fits are less successful and whether they represent a unique class of event or merely a limitation of the current fitting process.

Three Star Assembler
There's an idiom (gimmick, really) used sometimes in 370 Assembler whereby a subroutine returns to either the actual return address or to 4 bytes past the return address depending on success or failure of the routine. Immediately following the BAL (Branch And Link) instruction that calls the subroutine, you have a Branch instruction which takes up 4 bytes. Depending on success or failure, that Branch is either taken or bypassed. In a variation, you might have a different 4 byte instruction, generally one setting a switch.
While assisting another programmer, I once came across a subroutine that did a test for certain bit settings
on the instruction at the return address
and returned to
bytes past the return address. I suspected what was going on, but I grabbed another guy to verify. Seems that for (most) instructions, the bit settings in question indicated a 6 byte instruction. I responded "Cool!", then turned to the first programmer and said "Take it out!". --

Ones to Watch | By Sabrina Davis
When Kenneth and Josh Rader were kids, their dad always looked for the newest flavor on the cereal aisle. Hes always been a big kid, and cereal has always been big in our family, Kenneth says. So, maybe the Rader parents should have been prepared when their twin sons decided to use their six years of business education, undergraduate and graduate, to sell cereal.
It really started as a joke, sort of, says Kenneth Rader, president and CEO of Miami-based The Cereal Bowl. I was an undergrad at Syracuse University, and hung out at Starbucks a lot. I said to a friend one day, Wouldnt it be awesome if this were a cereal Starbucks. We laughed about it and I e-mailed my brother at the University of Miami. He thought it was a great idea.
That was about seven years ago, and quickly the joke grew into a business plan that won awards in college competitions. Over the following years the brothers and their third partner, childhood friend Michael Glassman, planned the concept, acquired financing, and prepared to open their first store, all while finishing graduate school. The Cereal Bowl opened in Miami in February 2006 in a strategic spot that draws college students, business people, and families.
Customers can create their own cereal combinations choosing among 35 cereals and 50 toppings, or choose a signature Cereal Bowl blend like Give Me Smore (Golden Grahams, Coco Puffs, Graham Bites, Marshmallows, and Chocolate Milk Crystals) or Ruby Nuts About You (Honey Nut Cheerios, Grape Nuts, Walnuts, Almonds, Pecans, and Cinnamon).
Hot cereal combinations made with oatmeal range from nutritious to ultra indulgent. The Cereal Bowl also offers yogurt parfaits, granola bars, Rice Krispies Treats, and its version of a smoothie, the Oatie, made with sorbet and oatmeal.
Weve tried to appeal to a broad range of people, not just college students craving enormous amounts of sugar before class, Rader says. He delights in knowing the second most popular menu item is the Bananaberry Bomb Oatie.
We want to appeal to everyone, but weve worked to stick to our identity as a cereal store. So, when we decided to offer smoothies, we didnt want to just have smoothies, or wed be competing with Jamba Juice and the like. We wanted to create something unique to The Cereal Bowl. Adding oatmeal just made sense and, they are extremely healthy. They are under 300 calories and have just 24 grams of sugar, Rader says. With our parfaits made with yogurt, nutritious cereals, and granola bars, many first-time customers are surprised that we are almost a health-food establishment.
Many of the morning business customers choose a healthy breakfast to goa smoothie and a granola bar, or a cereal combination packaged in a bowl with a lid and a half pint of milk (whole, 2%, skim, or soy). However, afternoon and evening customers tend to prefer sweet treats, of which there are plenty.
The dessert line includes parfaits, shakes, indulgent Oaties, the popular Freeze N Flakes cereal, and topping-infused frozen yogurt treats.
Other concoctions might be on the horizon, but Rader says his team has learned to pace the introduction of new products to allow consumers time to absorb the ideas and try them. Thats just one lesson learned over the past two years while The Cereal Bowl team has focused on learning the restaurant business, perfecting their first concept, preparing for future growth, and warding off a few legal challenges.
Cereality opened in late 2003 and had seven locations when Kahala-Cold Stone acquired it this year. When Cereality challenged that The Cereal Bowl had copied its business methods, Raders team was able to show its business plan predated Cerealitys opening. The Cereal Bowl team has been careful to differentiate and protect its concept legally with patents.
With important lessons learned, The Cereal Bowl has redesigned its Miami prototype, introduced a new Web site, and prepared the concept for franchise growth.
Rader expects solid profits, along with ease of operationthere is no cooking, just warming hot cereal on a burnerto help sell franchises. Cereal combos range in price from $2.89 to $3.89, and most customers spend around $4. There are roughly 350 customers on busy weekdays (6 a.m. to 10 p.m.) and about 100 to 150 more on weekend days (8 a.m. to midnight).
The Cereal Bowls first franchise is scheduled to open within six to eight weeks. Given the competitive cereal environment, Rader doesnt want to share details other than it will be in a mid-Atlantic state. Other 2008 plans include a prototype company-owned kiosk location at the University of South Florida and two other franchise stores. Wed like to double our 2008 numbers in 2009, Rader says. And from there, he thinks the concept could grow to 200 stores, although not aggressively.

Mozilla chair defends Firefox rapid release process
The Mozilla Project's recently implemented rapid release schedule for the Firefox web browser has met with its share of criticism, from complaints by enterprises to problems with add-on compatibility. However, Mitchell Baker, chair of the Mozilla Foundation, defends the project's move to the accelerated schedule, acknowledging that "these issues are complex and difficult".
"A browser is the delivery vehicle for the Internet. And the Internet moves very, very quickly. Philosophically, I do not believe a product that moves at the speed of traditional desktop software can be effective at enabling an Internet where things happen in real time.

The Southwest Clean Air Agency in Vancouver issued a stage one burn ban for Clark County starting Saturday at 1 p.m. The ban prohibits the use of fireplaces, uncertified wood stoves and inserts, as well as all outdoor burning.
The agency said levels of fine particle pollution from burning wood rose dramatically overnight Thursday. The pollution could trigger asthma attacks or exacerbate lung and heart problems.
The ban only applies to uncertified stoves -- typically made before 1990 and which dont' have a certification label on the back. If air quality doesn't improve, the agency could issue a more restrictive stage two ban that includes pellet stoves and certified wood stoves.
People who rely on wood stoves as their sole source of heat are exempt from the ban, which will be lifted when air quality improves.

Why should you Attend:
In the mutli-site cinical studies, it is quite common that one or more sites in several coutnries become high enrollers. These sites require more attention and support from the clinical research team (CRA, PM, Regulatory, Medical Monitoirs). If the clinical study was organized and managed at theses sites as required by the protocol, REB, regulatory authorities and ICH/GCP - these sites generate large amounts of valid, verifiable data - which is so important for sponsors and for future patients. If however, amount of attention ans support to the high-enrolling sites is not adequate - these sites often deviate from the protocol, study guidelines and even ICG/GCP. In this presentation we will review most common errors made by the sites' staff, and the sponsor's representatives. We will also review successful strategies that allowed high enrolling sites become high quality standards sites and be able to pass various inspections and audits.
Description of the topic:
Managing high enrolling sites - from a perspective of a lead CRA who has several years experience of managing high enrolling sites on different protocols.
Areas Covered in the Session:
- Definition of a high-enrolling site
- Types of high-enrolling sites
- Most common problems encountered at high enrolling sites
- Case review
- Strategies implemented to ensure the high enrolling sites remain compliant and involved
-Importance of properlty managing high enrolling sites.
Who will benefit:
Regulatory Associates
Site staff
Medical Monitors.
Clinical research Manager
Project managers
Clinical research Associates
Quality Assurance professionals
Research coordinators
Clinical investigators

Carl Payne May Lose His Grip as San Francisco's Cable Cars Reach the End of the Line
The cars have become internationally famous since they first went into service in 1873, and unhappy merchants have estimated San Francisco could lose $30 million a year in tourist spending while they are gone. But no one will miss the little cars more than gripman Carl Payne, 42. One of only 85 men (there are no gripwomen) responsible for operating a car's crucial front brakes and its grip, which secures the six-ton car to the moving cable beneath the center rail, Payne, with 18 years on the job, is among the elite of the city's 3,000 transportation workers. He is also a sort of ringmaster of his own thrilling road show. "Vamanos, hombres!" he bellows as the car crests the steepest hill on his route, then starts its slow-motion plunge toward the bay. "Now, folks, as my conductor is tying the rope to the tree, I don't want you to panic. I assure you, these cars do float."
While a conductor helps with the cable car's rear brake and collects the $1 fare, it is the gripman who keeps the car moving. "The whole thing depends on reflexes," explains Payne. "Everything you do to drive the car is done in the blink of an eye. A lot of times we're working with equipment that's 70 or 80 years old, and you have to be constantly on your toes to avoid hitting other vehicles." Brute strength is another prerequisite for the job; Payne estimates that it takes 1,500 pounds of pressure to pull the front brake on a steep hill. "Getting the car going is no problem," says Payne. "It's stopping it that's the hard part."
The gripman also rings the car's solid brass bell continually. Payne has won the system's annual bell-ringing contest four times for the originality of his one-tone rhythms. He also does his best to keep foolhardy passengers from hurting themselves. "Keep in close! Hold on tight!" he warns people who hang perilously from the sides. And when anyone tries to board a moving car, he points a warning finger and growls, "That's a no-no." Unhappily, he admits that pickpockets work the cars whenever they can. "In five years I've caught 300 crooks," he says. "I handcuff 'em and hold 'em for the police."
The son of a Pittsburgh steelworker and his wife, a maid, Payne landed in San Francisco in 1962 after four years in the Marines. He worked for two years as a bus driver, then graduated to cable cars. Divorced, with a 10-year-old daughter, he earns between $30,000 and $40,000 a year as a grip-man, and isn't looking forward to going back to the buses. "I'll hate it," he says. "On buses, people sit in their own little space and don't talk. Cable cars are the friendly way to travel."

Mocking HTTP Requests
It is often useful in testing to simulate a full HTTP request to evaluate its effects on things like SiteMap, S.param, etc. This page will discuss one approach you can use to do this, utilizing the Lift's new mock support, introduced in Lift 2.3.
There are two approaches to using mock requests in Lift. The first is to use the methods on
net.liftweb.mockweb.MockWeb directly. These allow you to initialize either S or instances of Req based on String urls or HttpServletRequest instances (so you can fine-tune the test). In particular, the
net.liftweb.mocks.MockHttpServletRequest provides a nice mock of a servlet request with additional methods and properties to simplify testing, so we'll be discussing its use as well here.
The second approach to unit testing with Lift is to use the
net.liftweb.mockweb.WebSpec trait. The WebSpec trait extends the
org.specs.Specification trait, so you can simply extend WebSpec to create a Specification with some additional support for wrapping MockWeb.
Using MockWeb Directly
MockWeb provides two main methods for unit testing, the
testReq method, which constructs a
net.liftweb.http.Req instance and then executes it against a
Req ⇒ T function, and the
testS method, which initializes the
net.liftweb.http.S object and then executes a
⇒ T function. Both
testReq and
testS can be initialized with either a string URL or a HttpServletRequest, and testS can also take an optional
net.liftweb.http.LiftSession instance so that you can share sessions and emulate multiple requests. Let's look at some examples. Note that these examples come from the MockWebSpec.scala source file, so see that for more usage.
Testing a Req instance based on a String URL
In this example we initialize the Req with the url "http://foo.com/test/this?a=b&a=c", and with the optional context path "/test".
testReq("http://foo.com/test/this?a=b&a=c", "/test") {
req =>
req.uri must_== "/this"
req.params("a") must_== List("b","c")
Testing a Req instance based on a MockHttpServletRequest
In this example we want to fine-tune the request a bit, so we construct a MockHttpServletRequest and pass that in. Note that the Servlet API specifies the context path as part of the HttpServletRequest, so you need to specify it there if you need to use it.
val mockReq =
new MockHttpServletRequest("http://foo.com/test/this", "/test")
mockReq.method = "POST"
import json.JsonDSL._
mockReq.body = ("name" -> "joe") ~ ("age" -> 35)
testReq(mockReq) {
req =>
req.json_? must_== true
Testing against S with a String URL
testS("http://foo.com/test/that?a=b&b=c") {
S.param("b") must_== Full("c")
Testing against S based on a MockHttpServletRequest
val mockReq =
new MockHttpServletRequest("http://foo.com/test/this?foo=bar", "/test")
testS(mockReq) {
S.param("foo") must_== Full("bar")
S.uri must_== "/this"
Sharing a session across tests
In certain cases you may want to emulate multiple requests by sharing a session across tests. he simplest approach is to return the constructed LiftSession from your first test and pass it to successive tests:
object testVar extends SessionVar[String]("Empty")
val session = testS("http://foo.com/test") {
S.session // returns the current session
// A second test
testS("http://foo.com/test2", session) {
testVar.is must_== "Foo!"
Using WebSpec
The WebSpec trait has been designed to simplify writing specs against your Lift app. WebSpec extends the Specification trait and adds some additional syntactic sugar that wraps the MockWeb methods described above. The following example code is taking from the WebSpecSpec.scala source file in the Lift repo.
Testing against Templates
This section is WIP. If you're using SBT, you'll need to add the following to your project config so that the webapp source folder is in the classpath (to locate templates):
SBT 0.7.x:
override def testClasspath = super.testClasspath +++ ("src" / "main" / "webapp")
unmanagedResourceDirectories in Test <+= (baseDirectory) { _ / "src/main/webapp" }
If you're running tests from within Eclipse (e.g. with scalatest), add the webapp source folder in the classpath in Run → Run Configurations → Classpath. Click Advanced, Add Folder, then select the webapp folder in your project.
Testing against S
To test against an initialized S, write your spec with the
withSFor method call after each expectation description. For example:
val testUrl = "http://foo.com/test/stateless"
"properly set up S with a String url" withSFor(testUrl) in {
S.request match {
case Full(req) => req.path.partPath must_== List("test", "stateless")
case _ => fail("No request in S")
Since it wraps MockWeb, the withSFor can also take a LiftSession instance, as well as a HttpServletRequest instance:
val testReq =
new MockHttpServletRequest("http://foo.com/test/this?foo=bar", "/test")
// Create a new session for use in the tests
val testSession = MockWeb.testS(testUrl) {
object TestVar extends SessionVar[String]("Empty")
"properly set up S with a String url and session" withSFor(testUrl, testSession) in {
TestVar.is must_== "foo!"
"properly re-use a provided session" withSFor(testUrl, testSession) in {
TestVar.is must_== "foo!"
"properly set up S with a HttpServletRequest" withSFor(testReq) in {
S.uri must_== "/this"
S.param("foo") must_== Full("bar")
Testing against a Req instance
Testing against Req is achieved by placing the withReqFor method after your expectation description:
"properly set up a Req with a String url" withReqFor(testUrl) in {
_.path.partPath must_== List("test", "stateless")
The withReqFor method can also take a contextPath:
"properly set up a Req with a String url and context path" withReqFor(testUrl, "/test") in {
_.path.partPath must_== List("stateless")
as well as a HttpServletRequest:
"properly set up a Req with a HttpServletRequest" withReqFor(testReq) in {
_.uri must_== "/this"
Adding a body to the request
In addition to specifying the URL or HttpServletRequest for a Req or S expectation, you can also add data to the body of the request (note that this requires the MockHttpServletRequest if you're specifying the request directly). You may do so by using the withPost or withPut methods. Both methods set the body in addition to setting the corresponding request method (PUT vs POST). Each method is overloaded to take a:
- String – The request body is set to the string and the content type is set to "text/plain" by default
- NodeSeq – The request body is set to the specified XML and the content type is set to "text/xml"
- JValue – The request body is set to the specified JSON and the content type is set to "text/json"
An example of using withPost/withPut:
"properly set a plain text body" withReqFor(testUrl) withPost("This is a test") in {
req =>
req.contentType must_== Full("text/plain")
req.post_? must_== true
req.body match {
case Full(body) => (new String(body)) must_== "This is a test"
case _ => fail("No body set")
"properly set a JSON body" withReqFor(testUrl) withPut(("name" -> "Joe")) in {
req =>
req.json_? must_== true
req.put_? must_== true
req.json match {
case Full(jval) => jval must_== JObject(List(JField("name", JString("Joe"))))
case _ => fail("No body set")
"properly set an XML body" withSFor(testUrl) withPost(<test/>) in {
S.request match {
case Full(req) => {
req.xml_? must_== true
req.post_? must_== true
req.xml must_== Full(<test/>)
case _ => fail("No request found in S")
SiteMap and Loc with Mock Requests
Determining the proper Loc for a given Req is simple:
val currentLoc = SiteMap.findLoc(request1)

Here is head coach Pauliina Miettinen's view:
Q: What has been your best moment?
When players connect, in games and in practices; when they are trying to be creative. There have been occasions when they are attempting creativity in the box, and with more passes, something I haven't seen American players do. It's just been awesome to watch.
Q: What has been your hardest moment?
When I had to cut a player.
Q: What has been the most inspirational?
At the reservation, when we were doing team building, to see the team work together and come up with solutions. It was very inspirational to watch.
Q: What has been the most off-beat?
Go Karting. I was literally on Rick's (GK coach Rick Stainton) car. We went into a corner, and my wheel was spinning. I didn't know what to do. We somehow got separated. I started spinning again, and I was thinking: How many people are going to run into me? That was a little bit scary.
Q: What has been the most surprising?
How this team has really adapted and "owned" the ideas that have been given to them in a short period of time. They have really bought in. They see they are really going to be successful. We haven't mandated they do that, but showing them what makes successful helps. It has been very motivating. I thought it would be a longer process. We already had a very experienced defensive line, but in the attack we are seeing things we didn't expect to see so soon.
Q: A thought you've had in these two weeks that you are expressing here for the first time?
It's been very exciting. I was just writing a blog for Finland about how exciting it is to have all this talent, hard work and motivation-the willingness to work hard and get better in one single team.
Q: What have the scrimmages proved for you?
That our defense looks very solid; that our attacking is becoming multi-dimensional, and more so every day. People are willing to make each other shine.
Q: What has been the similarity or difference between this team so far and any other you have coached, or even played on?
The fitness level and work ethic is at a different level. Technically, this is just a world class team.
Q: What should fans expect from you this season?
A team that is happy to play for each other and win, and enjoy what they put into it--every practice and hopefully every game they play. The enthusiasm and love for soccer. That goes for all of us-players and coaches.
And now, some answers from the ever fan-popular Tasha Kai:
Q: What has been your best moment?
Picking up where I left off, and that's scoring goals.
Q: What has been your hardest moment?
Probably getting back into the groove of things. I'm coming off of two shoulder surgeries and haven't touched the ball much. I'm like a rusted nail right now. I need a little bit of WD-40 and I'm good to go.
Q: What has been the most inspirational?
Having a lot of encouragement from my teammates...knowing they believe in me to get the job done.
Q: What has been the most off-beat?
Hm...the Go Kart. Ha ha. And also, this year we have many new faces and talent and with all that it takes time and patience before things start flowing.
Q: What has been the most surprising?
How in shape and skillful our team is. It's a whole new atmosphere here than last year.
Q: What is a thought you are expressing for the first time?
It's long and tiring.
Q: What have the scrimmages proved for you?
That I'm ready to play and can still score goals.
Q: What has been the similarity or difference between this team so far and last year's?
We scored seven goals in two games. Last year it took us 12 games. We're starting off the season on a good note. We're ready to play. (Editor's Note - the team scored seven more goals Tuesday night in a 7-0 exhibition win over the University of Florida, with two coming from Kai.)
Q: What should fans expect from you this season?
The fans should expect a lot more than what they saw last year...more goals and more celebrations. The old Tash is back. The party is 'bout to start.
My message is this: This is a new year and we are a new team. Sky Blue FC is coming at ya, so watch out!
Tickets for the Sky Blue FC home opener on April 11th against the Chicago Red Stars are available now.

Alzheimer's Association, Northwest Ohio Chapter hosted its annual celebration Tuesday at Tiffin-Seneca Public Library.
Executive Director Salli Bollin gave an overview of the chapter's success in the past year, recognized sponsors and presented awards to volunteers and participants of the Walk to End Alzheimer's.
"We actually do nine of these (lunches) throughout the 24-county area that we serve, and we spread them out to spend some time ... and share what we've been up to over the past year," Bollin said.

These volunteers were recognized for their outstanding contributions to Walk to End Alzheimer's. They are (from left) Jessica Rogier, representing St. Francis Home, the top corporate team; Dave Shelton, representing the top individual and family team; and Maria Browne of Elmwood Assisted Living and Terri Smith of Attica United Methodist Church, who placed second and third, respectively, among the corporate teams.
The chapter, it was reported, has 17 board members, 38 staff and more than 400 volunteers who contributed 4,254 hours of service in 2011. The association's records show a 16 percent rise in services for 2011. More than 8,000 people were served through more than 2,000 helpline calls and more than 1,600 hours of care consultation and counseling.
Bollin said 4,401 individuals participated in educational programs, including 200 professionals and 100 other participants in Seneca County. Numbers in the four early-stage programs also rose.
"In 2010, we had 392 people in that early stage program. Last year 872 people took part in just those four groups," Bollin said. "People are getting diagnosed earlier in the disease process, and they're living longer with this disease."

What Alzheimer's Association NWOH offers
Programs and services, such as: 24-hour helpline staffed by real people; counseling services for families; short-term respite services for caregivers; adult day care; lending library; speakers bureau; website; professional training and conferences; quarterly newsletter; online coaching for caregivers via e-mail and a new frontal temporal lobe dementia support group in Findlay.
Research funding: The association funded $25 million in the U.S. last year. A Trial Match program matches people with clinical studies. Nine new medications have reached Phase III in clinical trials, and 22 more are in phase II of testing. Research also is being done in the area of prevention.
Advocacy: Members meet with legislators and partner with Agencies on Aging and the Veterans Administration. Representatives from Northwest Ohio chapter are to take part in "Memory Day" April 3 in Columbus. They also are to meet with members of Congress in Washington, D.C.
Locally, radio host Russ Snyder served as honorary chairman of the Tiffin walk, which raised more than $17,000 last September. The top three individual and family teams were the Kuhn-Shelton Team, Granny's Team and The Extra Mile. The top three corporate teams included St. Francis Home, Elmwood Assisted Living and Attica United Methodist Church.
Certificates of appreciation were given to volunteers Maria Browne, Missy Gurney, Linda DeVaughn, Kellie Hartzell, Dave and Janice Shelton and Kathy Theis of Fostoria. Bollin said volunteers make it possible for the Alzheimer's Association to serve as many people as possible.
"Our vision still continues to be a world without Alzheimer's disease. We hope that someday we won't need to have these lunches anymore," she concluded.

The Nevada Wolf Pack men's basketball team was downright selfish Thursday night at Lawlor Events Center.
"Like I said, I don't like sharing too much," smiled Wolf Pack center Dario Hunt after a 65-63 victory over the New Mexico State Aggies.
The victory means the Wolf Pack won't have to share this year's Western Athletic Conference regular season championship.
"I've looked at pictures of other teams cutting down the nets since I was a freshman," said Hunt, who wore a basketball net necklace around his neck to the post-game press conference. "This is something I've always wanted to do."
"We're champions," Pack guard Malik Story said. "And it feels great."
The Wolf Pack, which clinched the WAC Tournament's top seed and a share of the regular season title last with a 79-76 triple-overtime victory at Fresno State last Saturday, didn't put away the Aggies until the final minute.
"They never quit, they kept coming at us," said Hunt, who had 10 points, six blocks and five rebounds. "We just did a good job of keeping our composure."
New Mexico State point guard Hernst LaRoche threw the ball into the stands behind the basket with 1.1 seconds to play with the Aggies trailing just 63-61.
"I knew they weren't going to shoot a three," Pack coach David Carter said. "They were going to go for the tie. I just wanted us to play good defense and make them earn it. Fortunately we got the turnover."
The Pack, now 24-5 overall and 12-1 in conference with one game left in the regular season Saturday night at Lawlor Events Center against Louisiana Tech, will leave the WAC after this season with seven conference championships.
"This was in the making ever since last season ended," said senior forward Olek Czyz of last season's 13-19 record. "We made huge strides this year. Everyone made huge sacrifices."
"It's like night and day," said Hunt when asked to compare last year to this year. "This is just the result of months and months of hard work."
The Wolf Pack definitely had to work hard to beat the Aggies, despite holding a lead for the final 37 minutes of the game. Story hit four 3-pointers in span of just 1:40 to key the Pack's 43-36 halftime lead.
"At first I was struggling and I kind of thought, 'Oh, no, not again,"' said Story, who was 2-for-16 from the field (0-for-8 from 3-point range ) at Fresno State. "But I just kept positive. I knew the shots would eventually start to fall."
The bench also played a big role in the first-half lead as Devonte Elliott, Jordan Finn, Jordan Burris and Patrick Nyeko combined to score all eight consecutive Nevada points over a span of 3:26 as the Pack built a 24-15 advantage.
The second half, though, saw both teams limp to the finish line. Both teams shot just 30.8% (both 8-for-26) from the floor. The Pack was 7-for-9 on 3-pointers in the first half and 0-for-7 in the second half.
The Pack had a comfortable 63-54 lead after a lay-up by Story with just three minutes to play. Two minutes later it was a 2-point game (63-61 Nevada) once again.
"We were playing not to lose those last three minutes," Carter said. "I think the guys got a little tight."
The only Pack points in the final three minutes were two free throws by Deonte Burton with a second to play.
"Every possession counted in this game," said Czyz, who led the Pack in scoring (for the fifth game in a row) with 15 points.
The Wolf Pack was very emotional after the game.
"This is the best championship I've been a part of in college," said Czyz, who also won two state titles at Lawlor in high school as a member of the Reno Huskies. "I cut down the nets at Duke after the (Atlantic Coast Conference) tournament. This means more to me because I played a big part in this one.
"But everyone on this team played a big part in this. The whole team contributed."
That was also the case against the Aggies as 10 different Pack players scored at least two points.
"This team really bought into committing itself to becoming a champion," Carter said. "The guys were embarrassed by last year. They knew they were better than that but they were just inexperienced.
"It's not easy to become a champion. It's a long road. And it would have been easy for these guys to quit on us after what happened last year. But everyone dedicated themselves to this team this year."
Carter credited much of the Pack's success this year to its defense. That defense also held New Mexico State without a point for a span of 7:32 in the second half.
Wendell McKines, who leads the WAC in scoring (18.4) and rebounding (10.5), hit a pair of free throws to cut the Pack's lead to just 52-48 with 11:43 to play but the next time the Aggies scored the Pack was up 59-49 with 4:11 to play.
"Defensively, we're better than people give us credit for," Carter said. "Our defense keeps us in games."
"Defense wins championships," Story said. "And we proved that this year."

Last fall, when Erie County voters booted former County Executive Chris Collins out of office and replaced him with Mark Poloncarz, it seemed as if a long nightmare for the county's cultural organizations had finally drawn to a close.
A significant part of the groundswell of support for Poloncarz came from those cultural groups and their vocal advocates, who argued quite correctly that year-to-year operating support for arts organizations was a smart investment in the community's economic future and indispensable to the region's quality of life.
But support for Poloncarz was also based, in part, on the idea that Erie County's cultural engines could be supplied with enough fuel to keep them plugging along without adding to the county's already high property tax rate. Candidate Poloncarz ran on the suggestion – if not the outright promise – that he had no intention of raising taxes.
But two weeks ago, Poloncarz's proposed 2013 budget floated down from the Rath Building with a 3.4 percent property tax hike. So if you thought the days of the arts being tossed around like a political football were over, get ready for a rude awakening.
In the third paragraph of Denise Jewell Gee's Oct. 15 story on the proposed budget, Poloncarz ties the tax increase directly to funding for libraries, cultural organizations and sheriff's road patrols. It's also important to note that Poloncarz did not tie the tax increase to the massive subsidies the Buffalo Bills are currently trying to squeeze out of Erie County taxpayers for a dubious return, from the county's unwillingness to renegotiate certain employee contracts or from its redeployment of the Erie County Water Authority as a patronage trough.
The county executive's direct connection of tax hikes to cultural funding means that the task of the cultural community – led by incipient groups like the Arts Services Initiative and the Greater Buffalo Cultural Alliance – just became a great deal more difficult.
During an Oct. 18 news conference at the Buffalo & Erie County Naval and Military Park, cultural community leaders gathered to voice their full-throated support for the budget. They were especially happy, as they had every right to be, for the budget's inclusion of 14 new organizations not included in the previous year's budget.
The leaders who spoke – Randall Kramer of MusicalFare Theatre and the GBCA, Jim Allen of the Amherst Industrial Development Corp. and Tod A. Kniazuk of the Arts Services Initiative – made all the right arguments about why an investment in the arts yields exponential benefits. What they did not do, to their detriment, was to directly address the 3.4 percent tax hike and sell it to the many suburban taxpayers who continue to oppose subsidizing a largely Buffalo-based cultural enterprise.
During last year's debate and the conversation that led up to it, leaders from the cultural community, including Kramer, often asserted the notion that sustained cultural funding would not require a tax increase. Now, the community's cultural leaders find themselves in a familiar and unhappy political position – that of having to explain directly and honestly why those past assertions about a tax increase turned out to be untrue.
At this point, for anyone who has honestly examined the arguments or read the independent studies, the idea that making targeted investments in cultural organizations brings significant returns on investment is as incontrovertible as the laws of thermodynamics. Also incontrovertible is the fact that property tax rates in Erie County are already significantly higher than the national average.
For the cultural community, whether it likes it or not, reconciling those things just became job No. 1.

The following video is from Wednesday's Market Foolery, in which host Chris Hill and Motley Fool analysts Matt Argersinger and Jason Moser give their Foolish take on the biggest investing stories of the day.
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) held its iPad event yesterday, unveiling the next generation of its iPad and iPad Mini, among other software and hardware upgrades. Shares, however, stayed generally flat on the news. In this segment, Matt and Jason discuss the future of Apple as a stock and talk about why the next innovation from Apple may be something closer to fitness-focused wearable tech like the Nike (NYSE: NKE ) Fuelband, rather than something like a smart watch.
What's next for Apple?

Republican Priebus Winning Back Big-Dollar Donors to Erase Debt
Big donors have re-opened their checkbooks for the Republican National Committee, a sign that under new leadership the group is digging out of financial troubles.
The RNC collected $2.5 million in checks of $20,000 or more during this year's first three months, according to the Federal Election Commission. That's more than half of the $4.4 million the party raised in large amounts during 2009 and 2010 combined.
The surge in such donations comes as RNC Chairman Reince Priebus's campaign has sought to woo back major contributors who abandoned the national committee when it was led by Michael Steele, the former Maryland lieutenant governor whose free-spending habits and penchant for making unpredictable comments on television irked party insiders.
"You've got an active fundraising group back who has confidence in the Republican National Committee," said former finance co-chairman Mel Sembler, a shopping-center developer in St. Petersburg, Florida. "Many of our major donors seemed to have lost confidence in what was happening at the national party. Fundraising just didn't happen. It is happening now."
Priebus, who defeated Steele in the chairmanship race in January, said he spends about five hours a day on the telephone urging big donors to return to the fold. Earlier this month, about 50 major Republican donors gathered at a Washington hotel to hear about the party's 2012 campaign strategy and how their contributions would be put to work.
Like a Candidate
Al Hoffman Jr., a real estate developer based in North Palm Beach, Florida, and a former RNC finance chairman, likened Priebus's efforts to a candidate seeking donations.
"Donors want to feel like their opinions matter and they have the opportunity to express their opinions," Hoffman said. "That's why candidates have to call these donors. They've got to talk to them."
The next measure of Priebus's progress comes July 20, when the RNC and the other party committees submit monthly financial disclosure reports to the FEC. Priebus, who inherited a debt of more than $24 million, pared it down to $18.5 million as of May 31. Debts to vendors dropped to $3.4 million from $9.2 million.
Priebus also has worked to cut expenses. The RNC reported spending $25.1 million in the first five months of 2011, down from $30.5 million during the same period two years earlier.
Five-Month Figures
Between Jan. 1 and May 31, the RNC raised $30.5 million and had $6.1 million in the bank, behind the Democratic National Committee's $45.5 million in receipts and $16.5 million cash on hand, FEC reports show.
Priebus, the former chairman of the Wisconsin Republican Party, assumed his new post after the DNC and the Democratic Senate and House campaign committees outraised their Republican counterparts in the 2010 election cycle for the first time since the FEC began tracking party money in the late 1970s.
Improvements in the RNC's finances would aid the Republican nominee in the 2012 contest against President Barack Obama. While Republican-leaning groups such as American Crossroads, which former President George W. Bush political adviser Karl Rove helped establish, plan on spending millions to promote the party, only the RNC "can legally coordinate our efforts with a presidential campaign," Priebus said.
A revived RNC also would play a lead role in next year's congressional elections, given that the group traditionally has financed the Republican get-out-the-vote programs. Such efforts by the committee were reduced in the 2010 vote.
Helping Priebus focus on fundraising are RNC Finance Director Angela Meyers, who served in the same post at the Republican Governors Association, and Ron Weiser, the committee's national finance chairman and former head of the Michigan Republican Party.
In addition, former RNC Chairman and White House aide Ed Gillespie, who helped form the independent Crossroads groups that raised $71 million to help elect Republicans in 2010, agreed to lead Priebus's transition.
"It was a clear signal that the RNC was back," Priebus said. "What we were asking for is for people to invest in this team and know there is a plan to succeed."

Bike Child Seats Overview
Child seats are commonly sold separately from a bike and come in a range of different shapes, styles and colours. There sole purpose is to provide a safe seat for a child that can be attached to a bike so that they can come along for the ride. Depending on the type of child seat, the most common place for them to be attached is at the back of the bike so that the riders vision is not compromised. Child seats come with padding, a seat belt buckle to keep the child secure as well as leg restraints so the child cannot get out.
If you have any specific questions about child seats, or would simply like to hear more about the importance of child seats, please feel free to contact us.

Ferret Brain Facts1. The volume of a ferret's brain is less than a tablespoon.2. There are over 100 billion cells in a ferret's nervous system.3. Ferrets are blind and deaf until 4 weeks of age.4. Ferret brains imprint on the odor of prey (food) between 8 and 13 weeks of age.5. The brain controls reproductive activity by "analyzing" light cycles (length of day and night).6. Ferrets can leap tall buildings in a single bound. (Just kidding, although every ferret thinks it can.)
Nervous System Energy Production And UseEach neuron has the special property of being able to pump ions (charged atoms of sodium and potassium) into and out of the cell to create an electrical potential of stored energy, much like a battery. When properly stimulated, the neuron's cell membrane lets these ions flow to create an electric current. Called an action potential, this becomes the signal the nerve uses to pass along information.
In order to move the ions that allow nerves to function, the cell uses molecular pumps located in the cell membrane to push potassium into the cell, and pump sodium out. Since the normal situation for all cells starts this way, high potassium inside and high sodium outside, pushing more of one in and more of the other out is an uphill effort, much like pumping water up a hill into a reservoir. Once done, you can later let things flow through the turbines to make electricity.
It takes a tremendous amount of energy to do this, and the brain needs a constant supply of fuel to be able to keep functioning. The fuel for all neuronal cellular metabolisms is glucose, a simple sugar derived from carbohydrates in the diet or synthesized by the liver from other sugars or protein. The circulatory system delivers the glucose to the nerve cells along with the oxygen needed to burn the fuel. While all the other cells in the body can also use fats and protein for fuel, brain cells are picky, they only burn glucose. Ferret Medical Conditions Relating To The Nervous SystemUnderstanding the nervous system's complexity and some of its functioning helps us understand some of the medical conditions seen in ferrets that relate to it. Fortunately, some can be prevented. Some others are managed with medication or surgery. Unfortunately, not every one is treatable.
We vaccinate ferrets to protect against two deadly viral diseases, rabies and distemper. Both are believed to be 100 percent fatal, and neither has an effective treatment. Though distemper is not a risk to humans and research has shown that it is highly unlikely that a ferret with rabies could transmit it to a human, both diseases are serious.
Rabies is acquired through a bite from another rabid animal. The virus enters the break in the skin and begins to infect the local nerves. From there, it propagates and travels up the nerve fibers to the spinal cord, ultimately traveling up to infect the brain. Clinical cases of rabies in ferrets are exceedingly rare, and transmission of rabies from a ferret to a human has never been documented.
Distemper is highly contagious both to ferrets and to dogs. The virus usually enters through the nose or mouth from contact with contaminated items or small, airborne droplets sneezed or coughed by an infected animal. Most signs of distemper relate to the respiratory system or the skin, but neurologic signs like convulsions, muscle tremors and coma can result.
Unfortunately, we do not have a vaccine to protect against a third viral infection that affects the ferret nervous system, Aleutian disease. This is usually a chronic disease with many different possible signs, including posterior weakness or paralysis, tremors and convulsions.
Bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections of the nervous system are relatively rare. Cryptococcus, a fairly common soil fungal organism, can cause infection, usually entering the body by inhaling spores through the nasal cavity. From there, infection can spread directly up into the brain along the olfactory nerves.
Possibly the most common cause of neurologic signs in a ferret is hypoglycemia, low blood sugar. Remember, the brain's absolute requirement for glucose at all times. The effects of insulin-secreting tumors of the pancreas, insulinomas, usually show as weakness, paralysis or tremors. If the blood sugar level gets too low, the brain begins to shut down, leading to convulsions or coma.
An Amazing ResultThe nervous system is truly a marvelous thing. Ferrets leap and roll and chatter and war dance. They steal your pen, knock over every wastepaper basket, and open every cabinet and door. They crawl into the smallest holes and reach the weirdest places. It is pretty amazing that a quarter of an ounce of interconnected nerve cells wrapped up in a pound of fur, bone and muscle can get into all that trouble.
Rene C. Gandolfi, DVM, DABVP, is owner/manager of the Castro Valley Companion Animal Hospital. Gandolfi is a national lecturer and author on ferret medicine and surgery.

Many of the scenes looked extra sharp and many finer details such as writing on walls were legible. Certainly it's not on the same visual scale of newer movies, but this one actually has a upgrade in the video department. It's definitely not just an upscale of the DVD.

I'm glad to have all the dust, dirt, and damage as it adds to the cinematic feel and shows Troma didn't try to run a slew of DNR filters to plastify the image. As for the sound, sure it's not an upgrade but again this is Troma and we may not see Lossless Master Audio tracks in the future, because they may not exist.KFelonhttp://email@example.com
