How do you tell the difference between the old stamped steel receiver from Century (which by all accounts had some problems) and the new stamped steel receiver from Century (which people are saying is a lot better)?

I've seen a couple of newer ones that certainly have a better finish than the older ones. Not sure if that directly equates to the more reliable ones, though.

From what I understand, Century's first run of receivers was the stamped variety, followed by the cast stainless ones, then followed by another round of stamped ones. The problems seem to be with the first round of stamped ones. Unfortunately, I don't know a dependable way of telling them apart, although I would think that by now most of the first run would be out of dealers' hands.
Best bet is to examine the guns carefully before you buy one. I looked at CETMEs at a gun show this fall and was not satisfied with their fit and finish. In December I found several decent ones at a show, and purchased one. It's a decent rifle, and well worth the $299 that they're bringing these days.

wasn't Special Weapons Todd Bailey making the SS recievers?
The quality of the SW3 receiver was so impressive that Century Arms contacted me about buying it for use on their product, and they did currently the SW3 tooling is used to build both Hk91 clones and cetme clones for century arms and as of Jan 2002 they have built more then 5000 of these guns using this receiver design.

The latest issue of Shotgun News has a review of the Century CETME rifles. David Fortier got one to shoot into 1" at 100 yards using Winchester 168gr Match ammo. That's pretty good for a $300 battle rifle.
First thing I want to do if I get one is buy the converted G-3/HK91 synthetic furniture from www.nouglyguns.com. That, or find a pistol grip in wood to match the CETME's wooden buttstock and forend.
I'm already segregating brass that's not gonna get reloaded after getting fluted by the CETME. :D
David Roberson
January 2, 2003, 04:35 PM
Gewehr98, you can certainly segregate that brass if you want to, but brass that's fired in HK and CETME fluted cylinders can in fact be reloaded without problems. Actually, your brass will fare better if you put an ejection port buffer on the gun, since it will eliminate the ding in the case that it gets slamming against the edge of the ejection port, but the flutes don't pose any difficulty for reloading.
January 2, 2003, 05:23 PM
One of the biggest myths from non-owners of HK/G3/CETME rifle. I've reloated for them for years with no major proble,. The fluted chamber leaves black lines on the fired cases that wipe right off. Now the case mouth is a different story, ejection tends to heavily dent the case mouth. Sometimes so bad I can't reload the case or I have to use a pair of needle nose pliers to straighten the case mouth so I can insert the case into the decapping/resizing die. No big deal, I bet one of the buffers would eleminate that problem as stated above.
January 2, 2003, 08:39 PM
Not without chucking up the brass in a lathe and turning them off. Definitely not a myth, in my experiences. I "loaned" some of my good Lapua 7.61x51 match ammo to a HK91 owner. They looked awful after he fired them off. I even resized and reloaded them, and fired them in my BM-59 to try and iron out the fluted brass. No tally - the flutes remain. :scrutiny:
I may just order or find a bunch of brass and set it aside, along with a cheap set of Lee Pacesetter dies, for exclusive CETME use.
The good brass and dies will stay with the 700PSS, BM-59, and M14NM.
Now, does the ejection port buffer from the HK91/G-3 fit the CETME easily?
BTW, ALL my rifle ammo, 24 different chamberings, is handloaded.
David Roberson
January 3, 2003, 10:27 AM
I'm told the HK buffer does fit the CETME, but I can't confirm that from personal experience. I do know that it helps HKs treat the brass much more gently (as far the ejection port dings go -- it of course doesn't affect the flute marks).
Also, I agree that it's not best to use match brass in the CETME -- I reseve mine for my match .308s. But the original issue was whether brass fired in HKs and CETMEs can be reloaded, and it definitely can.

Great info. You guys are a great source of gun knowledge.
I am thinking about a CETME and this was helpful.
January 5, 2003, 12:44 PM
I agree with Gewehr, the fluting on my brass stayed also, when I had a `91. It was the only thing that I didnt like about the rifle, though.

Here, we're going to take a look at how we can add, modify, and remove Layer Style effects. In this document, you'll notice we have a few layers. We have one layer which has a leaf on it. If I turn off the visibility of the Background layer, you can see that this leaf has been cut out from its background. Above that, I have these two text layers. Let's take a look at how we can add distinct Layer Style effects to these various layers. Well, the first thing you want to do is to target the layer you want to work on.
Next in the base of the Layers panel, you'll notice an fx icon. Click on that and you'll see a menu. Here, you have a number of different Layer Style effects you can choose. Let's select Drop Shadow. This will open up the Layer Style dialog with the Drop Shadow selected. In this middle area here, we can dial in how we want this drop shadow to appear. For example, we could change the Angle. In this case, the drop shadow now shows up off to the left. We can also control the Distance. Here it now appears further away, and as I change the angle, you'll see this a little bit more clearly.
We can change the overall spread and also the size of this drop shadow. And you can change these controls until you create a drop shadow which looks good with your layer. In this case, I'll make this one a little bit closer here and just bring that in. I think that looks nice. To apply that Layer Style effect, just click OK. You'll notice something different in the Layers panel. There is now an fx icon here and the effect listed below. You can turn this off by clicking on the Eye icon, or turn it back on by clicking there.
You can also collapse this view by clicking on this arrow, and that will either conceal or reveal what effects you have. Now if you want to go back, and if you want to change this effect, it's really as simple as double-clicking. When you do that, it reopens this dialog, and here I can go ahead and change the overall effect. So I can change the way that it appears. Well, let's click OK to apply that. What about these other layers? Well, with this layer here, my top layer, which is LAYERS, I want to add a Layer Style effect.
Another way to do this is to just simply double-click to the right of the layer name. This will open up the Layer Style effect panel. Here, I'll choose a Layer Style effect, Drop Shadow, click in Drop Shadow, and then I can customize that here. I also want to add, say, a brush stroke. I'll go ahead and click in that field and then click on that tab to open up my options for this brush stroke. Rather than black, I want something which is a nice bright color. So if you choose or click on that Color chip, you can then select the color there.
You can control the size of the brush stroke and also if it's on the outside of the layer or if it goes to the inside. And so, again, here you have a lot of options in this middle area. All right! Well, let's go ahead and click OK in order to apply that Layer Style effect. Now we have one layer left. Well, with this last layer, what I want to do is I want to add an effect which is already on one of my other layers. I want to copy and paste the Layer Style effects from one layer to another.
Well, how can we do that? Well, if you go to the Layer Style effect area, and if you hold down Option on a Mac, Alt on Windows, and then click and drag, you notice that you drag this little fx icon. You can then drop or let go and it will apply that effect to this other layer. Well, here in this case, this stroke doesn't really work. I don't want that here, but I do want the Drop Shadow. So I'll just turn off the visibility there, and we can see we now have the drop shadow beneath this text layer.
It's a little bit too far away. So you remember how to edit this, right? Double-click, that will reopen this, I'll go ahead and bring this in. Also, increase its opacity so it's a little bit darker, and then maybe add another Layer Style effect. I'll try Outer Glow to really make that text field their glow. Next I'll click OK in order to apply those adjustments. So here you can see we can modify these Layer Style effects in some really fascinating ways. What about getting rid of a Layer Style effect altogether? Well, we've already seen that you can turn off the visibility of the effect. Okay, that's fine.
But what if you're done with it, you're over it? You just want to get rid of it and trash it. Well, to do that, you can click on the effect and drag that to the trash can. That will then delete that Layer Style effect. We're almost done with this movie. There's just one more thing that I want to share with you here, and that is that you have the ability to collapse the view of all of your layers with Layer Style effects at once. We saw that we can click on these icons one at a time to open or close those. Yet if you hold down Option on a Mac or Alt on Windows and if you click on that icon, well, then it will collapse everything inside of your Layers panel.
This can be especially helpful when you have lots of layers and lots of Layer Style effects. If you hold down Option or Alt and click again, it will then expand the view so you can see all of the effects. So again, it's as simple as Option or Alt clicking on that icon in order to expand or collapse the view of those Layer Style effects on multiple layers.

Do you know who won the Indians minor league pitcher of the year award? It wasn't Danny Salazar, who played have the season in AAA before making a stellar Major League debut. It wasn't one of the superstar relievers like C.C. Lee, Preston Guilmet or Trey Haley. The winner was instead, Carolina Mudcats starting pitcher, Cody Anderson, a relatively unknown and undervalued prospect coming up through the Indians system.
Burning River Baseball has been following Anderson for some time now (he was picked as the 8th best prospect in 2012), but this is the first time his success has been acknowledged. Anderson was originally drafted out of Feather River College by the Tampa Bay Rays in 2010, but he didn't sign. The Indians took him the following season, moving him from a 17th round pick into a 14th round pick. This is still a very low pick to have any Major League expectations, but that hasn't stopped him from dominating at every level.
As a seasoned college player, Anderson was able to skip the rookie level entirely and pitched just three games and five innings in Short Season Mahoning Valley in his first season (2011). In his true rookie season (2012), Anderson spent the entire year in Lake County, where he held an ERA of 3.20 in 23 starts across 98.1 innings. His 6.6 K/9 left something to be desired, but he showed far more than enough to merit an advance to Advanced A Carolina in 2013.
Anderson made another 23 starts for the Mudcats in 2013, but showed vast improvements. Instead of averaging just more than four innings per game, he stretched things out to average 5.1 innings per start. He also improved his strike out count, fanning 112 batters, leading to a K/9 of 8.2. With an ERA of 2.34 and a WHIP of 1.10, Anderson was now showing more resemblance of a Major League prospect than a 14th round pick. The Mudcats team in general was stacked in 2013 (this should be great news for the Indians in a couple years) and Anderson, along with his most talented teammates, like Francisco Lindor, Tyler Naquin, Alex Monsalve and Will Roberts, joined the Akron Aeros at the end of the season for their play-off run. Almost certainly all these players, with the possible exception of Lindor, will begin next season in AA.
Anderson did struggle some during his three AA starts, reverting back to just 4 innings per appearance and a 5.68 ERA, but this was such a small sample size that there shouldn't be much emphasis placed here. His 23 successful starts in Carolina are much more significant. Anderson will almost certainly begin 2014 in AA, but could, with success, advance to AAA halfway through the year.
At this point there is no reason to think he wouldn't be successful in AA. As he has progressed he has obviously matured, striking out more batters, allowing less base runners and pitching deeper into games. He won the organizations pitcher of the year award for a reason and with it, his expectations changed from those of a 14th round pick to those of a top prospect. With young (pre-arbitration) starters like Salazar, Corey Kluber and Trevor Bauer already in line for a long run with the Indians, Anderson would fit perfectly in the back end of the rotation. If the timing works out like it looks like it will, Anderson will be able to get a few seasons in the three to five spot in the rotation before the Indians lose control of the other starters and Anderson would have to move up. With no changes at all, the Indians look to have an absolutely dominant rotation coming soon and lasting through the rest of the decade.

Air Force-ex out to help Texas AandM defense take flight
One in an occasional series
COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Tim DeRuyter played at Air Force, got his degree from Air Force, served 7 ½ years in the Air Force, coached at Air Force. In fact, when Mike Sherman hired him as defensive coordinator, he said DeRuyter wouldn't have left the Academy "except for a special place" like Texas A&M.
Of course, it probably helped that Von Miller returned to A&M.
"Part of the negotiation for me coming here," DeRuyter said, smiling.
Nothing like a potential first-rounder to cement a deal and smooth over the traditional bumpy transition phase.
DeRuyter is going to need all the help he can get. Even with Miller, whose 17 sacks led the nation last season, the Aggies under Joe Kines gave up more than 40 points five times. Twice they rolled over for 60-plus. They came in 105th in total defense, which was actually an improvement over the season before, when they were No. 114. At that rate, the defense would have been acceptable by the time your savings bonds mature.
The consensus is that the Aggies were young and consequently error-prone last season.
Get this: They may be even younger this season. Only six juniors and seniors number among the starting 11, and there isn't much more seniority on the two-deep.
"But it's exciting," DeRuyter said. "There's some real growth potential for our guys."
Translation: There's nowhere for A&M's defense to go but up. Fortunately for the Aggies, they've got the right guy pointing directions.
Everywhere he's been, DeRuyter has improved the product, and quickly. Ohio went from 99th in defense to 22nd by his third year, and Nevada improved from 79th to 48th in two years.
DeRuyter (duh-ROOT-er) brought out the best in his alma mater, which rose from 78th to 11th overall in three years, culminating in a dominant performance against Houston in the Armed Forces Bowl. In Air Force's 47-20 win, the Falcons held the nation's top-ranked offense to a season-low 222 yards and picked off six passes.
If DeRuyter can put up those numbers with the limitations he had on recruiting, imagine what he could do with some top-rank NFL talent.
Contrary to recent trends at A&M, Miller is just such an item.
At 6-3, 240 pounds, he combines great speed with what DeRuyter calls "change of direction that is just freakish." DeRuyter has never had a talent like him, and he plans on making the most of it.
Miller will play the "joker," a hybrid of linebacker and defensive end in the Aggies' new 3-4 defense. On first-and-10, he'll be an outside linebacker. On third down and in their nickel and dime packages, he'll be a down lineman.
DeRuyter says the Aggies will use him the same way the Steelers utilize James Harrison, the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year in 2008. DeRuyter became acquainted with Pittsburgh's defense through his former coach, Chan Gailey, who introduced him to Dick LeBeau, who indoctrinated him in the Steeler style at several training camps.
The Aggies' defense under DeRuyter won't be so much a return to the late, lamented Wrecking Crew - heavy on man-to-man defense and blitzes - as it will be the multiple shifts, zones and disguises of a pro defense.
"In today's college game, the big thing is to change the offense's tempo," DeRuyter said. "If you blitz all the time against spread teams, they'll hurt you."
Miller figures the pro-style defense will help his development as well as mitigate any concerns he had about remaining at A&M.
How close did he come to turning pro? Some days, his mind was made up. But he promised his mother a degree and he liked his new teammates.
And it didn't hurt that Sherman clued him in on the extended search for a new coordinator.
Sherman told him they'd be moving to a 3-4 and that DeRuyter was on his short list. Sold. How this works out for the Aggies in general this fall, it's hard to say. But for a coordinator and his joker, this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Town of Tonawanda Councilman Daniel J. Crangle, whose marital strife made headlines earlier this month, on Monday characterized the situation as a "personal and private matter" and said he will complete his term of office.
Crangle was charged by town police Feb. 16 with a misdemeanor count of stalking and a violation count of harassment, based on a complaint by his estranged wife. A former political opponent and Crangle critic had called for the councilman's resignation following his arrest.
An order of protection also was issued to keep Crangle away from his wife. Police had been called on at least two other occasions about domestic incidents involving the couple, but neither pressed charges.
Monday night, Crangle read a statement at the end of the Town Board meeting. He referenced his arrest but didn't elaborate on the circumstances.
"As far as myself and my family are concerned, this is a personal and private matter," he said. "As an elected official, I am embarrassed for my family for the attention this has caused."
The same day Crangle was arrested, Michael R. Vishion issued a news release calling for his "immediate resignation." Vishion had challenged Crangle in last fall's elections and maintains that political retribution is why his business lost its contract to handle concessions at the town's two golf courses.
"Mr. Crangle's arrest and arraignment … are clear indications that he is not the type of person we should have representing the residents of the Town of Tonawanda," Vishion said, in part. "Mr. Crangle's current position within the Town Board as chair of the town's Youth, Parks and Recreation Department puts him in direct contact with our children, and this should be stopped at once and can only be achieved through his immediate resignation."
Vishion has announced his intention to run again for Town Board this fall.
Crangle's stated intention Monday night to finish his four-year term was applauded by the large crowd at the meeting. Two people subsequently stepped forward to speak on the issue.
One of them was James McGee, who said he has known Crangle for almost four decades.
McGee was a Republican candidate for Town Board in 2009 – the year Crangle ran for highway superintendent – and noted the campaign never got "personal."
McGee said he was disappointed with the media coverage of Crangle's arrest. He also said it looks like people are trying to drag Crangle's marriage through the mud for political gain.
"This is about someone's marriage," McGee said.
Also stepping forward was Dean Miceli, an employee of the town's Recreation Department, who read what he said was an email from Dan Kelly, a brother of former Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly. Crangle and Dan Kelly reportedly have a friendship of 10 years.
"I would never question his integrity," Miceli read, in part, from the email. "He's a stand-up, hard-working member of the community."

UNDP Releases Policy Brief on South-South Cooperation
May 2010: The International Policy Centre for Inclusive Growth of the UN Development Programme (UNDP) has released a policy brief titled "South-South Cooperation - The Same Old Game or a New Paradigm?" The brief addresses various dimensions of the challenges and opportunities arising from the rapid increase in the number of emerging economies due to their greater involvement in development cooperation to address global challenges, such as industrial development, technology transfer and climate change.
The brief considers whether they can build a new and more inclusive paradigm that secures faster and more sustainable development, as well as more inclusive cooperation, and translates opportunities into better voice for least developed countries. The brief outlines potential areas of cooperation, including solar energy and coal liquefaction. [The Policy Brief]

Vigil held for teen missing in Ecuador
August Reiger missing for more than two weeks
Published 10:29 AM CDT Jul 01, 2013
Sunday night friends of an Oklahoma teen who vanished in Ecuador gathered with the hope that he would return safely.
The candlelight vigil was at August Reiger's high school, which he graduated from in May. The teen has been missing for more that two weeks.
Authorities think the 18-year-old may have been kidnapped, but there has been no ransom demand. His family says they plan to stay in Ecuador until they get answers.

Switching and Oscillatory Dynamics of Genetic Networks

Bi-stable and periodic behaviors are present in living beings. Mechanisms capable of bi-stability provide organisms with the means to choose between states, while cyclic systems can be used to track time, and thus regulate periodic processes in cells, allowing, for example, adaptability to the day-night cycle. In general, the switching behavior reflects the ability of decision making, which is vital in changing environments. On the other hand, processes with periodic dynamics, such as the circadian clock and the cell cycle, are necessary to time the occurrence of specific actions and processes. Complex behaviors, such as switching between states and oscillatory dynamics, are made possible by networks of interactions between cellular components, at the molecular level. Many essential functions in living cells are regulated by complex networks. One such network, perhaps the most vital one, is the genetic regulatory network, composed of genes and the products of their expression. This network is capable of responding to other chemical substances present in a cell as well. Associations between genes, correlating their expression, are able to generate complex dynamical patterns, not possible by individual genes. Aside from characterizing the structure of natural genetic networks, another effort that is being made to better understand them consists of engineering artificial genetic motifs that are commonly found in the natural networks. In this way, it is possible to study their dynamics without the interference of many external signals that the native motifs are subject to. Simultaneously, in silico models matching the kinetics of the artificial motifs have been developed, so as to explore their dynamics in various conditions. In silico models can be used to predict the behavior of the natural system. Recently, their complexity has increased significantly, so as to account realistically for novel findings on the role that a gene's sequence and events in transcription and translation elongation have on the dynamics of genetic circuits. Similar developments have been made so as to study the effect of cell-to-cell communication on the dynamics of cells living within communities. In this thesis we study the dynamics of in silico models of genetic toggle switches and oscillators. Namely, we implement delayed stochastic models at the nucleotide and codon levels to study sequence dependent properties of these circuits. Also, we implement a deterministic model of a genetic oscillator in the context of cell populations to investigate how, from the coupling between cells, emerges novel collective dynamics, including the synchronization of processes. The results impact on the ongoing efforts to better understand how cells regulate and modulate their key physiological processes and provide clues on how to better engineer synthetic circuits to regulate processes in cells.

Princess Horror
Pow! Pow! Through The Universe!
Let's Go!
Hailing from Dimension X, Princess Horror is an ultra-dimensional visitor who has traveled millions of miles through time and space, to come to Earth.
Her mission is to find the very best entertainment for Earthlings to enjoy, and to use her super powers (and smart fashion sense) to stop the zombies and monsters trying to conquer the Earth!
Also while on Earth, Princess Horror always finds time to dance ballet with the likes of the Royal Ballet of London!
If you listen closely, you may hear her at night, as she ballet dances across the rich tapestry of star spangled skies, crying out with her spine-tingling, dual-octave, operatic shrill..."Pow! Pow! Through The Universe!"

The Anti-Defamation League views the September World Summit and its accompanying reform deliberations with cautious optimism. We welcome the recognition of the international body of the need to examine its priorities and operations and hope that this process will lead to a more effective, responsible and just United Nations.
ADL believes however, that reform of the United Nations will not be complete unless there is an examination and correction of the manner in which the State of Israel is treated.
While the United Nations was instrumental in the founding of the Jewish State, for decades Israel's treatment at the UN has been characterized by ostracism, double standards, and knee-jerk condemnations. A myriad of anti-Israel resolutions is passed blindly, year after year. Six of ten "emergency sessions" held by the UN General Assembly since its inception have concerned Israel – while none have been held in response to events in Rwanda, Yugoslavia, or Sudan.
General Assembly resolutions have also created an entire Palestinians infrastructure with four committees focused specifically on an anti-Israel agenda. No other country or entity has such exclusively dedicated departments and committees. The committees include the Committee for the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People (CEIRPP) and the Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices affecting the Human Rights of the Palestinian People and Other Arabs of the Occupied Territories – both established through General Assembly resolutions. These committees are supported by the Division of Palestinian Affairs Rights (DPR) in the Secretariat's Department of Political Affairs. Finally, there is the Special Information Program on the "Question of Palestine" in the Secretariat's Department of Public Information. These committees not only waste stretched UN resources (their annual budget is $2.5 million), but propagate wildly biased programs and information about the Palestinian-Israel conflict that ignore positive progress in the region, and contradict the UN Secretary General and Security Council positions on Israel. (A recent conference sponsored by the CEIRPP concluded with a call for sanction against Israel.)
The UN Human Rights Commission in Geneva notoriously focuses undue attention on Israel, while ignoring serious and immediate human rights outrages around the world. In its annual session, only Israel has its own agenda item (item 8) to discuss its alleged human rights violation. All other countries are deal with in one comprehensive agenda item (item 9). The Commission includes nations with reprehensible human rights records such as Syria, Zimbabwe, Libya and Sudan. The Commission also appoints "Special Rapporteurs" who are meant to investigate specific issues of concern. There have been incidents of these rapporteurs investigating issues related to Palestinians, or even to "thematic" issues, including food and poverty making outrageously incendiary anti-Israel statements with no recourse taken to discipline them.
Finally, while Israel was allowed to join a regional group in 2000 – the Western European and Others Group (WEOG) – thereby permitting Israel to participate in UN activities in New York, Israel is excluded from serving on any regional group at the UN's Geneva-based operations, including serving as a member of the Human Rights Commission.
How UN Reform Can Address Anti-Israel Inequities:
Secretary General Kofi Annan's blueprint for reform includes some steps that could begin to address the anti-Israel inequities at the UN. These initiatives, however, are only the beginning. Additional steps by UN member nations must augment these initial reforms to create a more effective body and a more hospitable environment for Israel.
UN Reform: An Overview of the Issues
Over 170 leaders will gather at the United Nations for a World Summit during the opening of the 60th session of the United Nations General Assembly to discuss institutional reform September 14-16.
There have long been calls for reforming the United Nations, both organizationally and functionally. In March, 2005, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan issued a proposal for "achievable" reform, entitled "In Larger Freedom: Towards Development, Security and Human Rights for All." The proposal is divided into four areas: freedom from want; freedom from fear; freedom to live in dignity; strengthening the United Nations.
Annan's proposal is the basis of a blueprint for reform – called the outcome document - being prepared by the President of the General Assembly, Jean Ping, in consultation with member nations.

I guess he didn't feel that good today
He headed to the airport on his motorcycle
Said he liked the sound it made
And then he mumbled to me something about
Love and what it cost
He said, "If all the world is over
Then man, I would get lost if I were you
Now what would you do?"
I remember shades of summer
The winter sets and it's gone, yes
But it's all good now take it easy
Don't get soul sick
The winter sets and it's gone, yes
But it's all good now
I guess that we were all a shade of green
We catered to the postcard view
'Cause our lives weren't in half the bloom
Of his worst day
Then one by one the conversations
Got too long or just got old
And we were past the point of selling
We'd been living with the parts we hadn't sold

Edinboro men win season opener
EDINBORO -- Pat Cleary will always see a 66-48 victory over Thiel in the record books for his Edinboro men's basketball head coaching debut despite plenty of inconsistent play Monday night at McComb Field House.
With former coach Greg Walcavich watching in the stands after 24 years directing the Fighting Scots, Cleary, an assistant for 16 of those seasons, also foresees a lot of work to do after starting practice just 27 days ago.
"We have rarely had the whole group together because of injuries or class commitments, so it's going to take a while to find out what we have and get in a groove,'' Cleary said. "But now that we got this game under our belt, we have a win and that's what counts."
The Scots shot 36 percent (21-of-58) for the game and had 23 turnovers, but the Division III Tomcats, who had a disastrous first half and trailed 37-17, were 15-of-26 from the floor (26.8 percent) and 15-of-28 at the line, 3-of-14 in the first half.
Senior center Brian Theriot, the team's returning leading scorer and rebounder, had 12 points and seven rebounds, while junior guard Jonny Marsh, out of Bronx, N.Y., had all 12 of his points in the first half, including 3-of-3 3-pointers. Sophomore guard Henri Wade-Chapman showed plenty of hustle and had 11 points, and senior forward Xavier Churnac grabbed 10 rebounds.
Edinboro went cold in a sloppy second half but was never threatened.
"We played very hard and competed, but considering the turnovers we had and the way they got on the offensive boards, we couldn't pull away from them,'' Cleary said. "We had a lot of mis-communications on passes, and we knocked the ball out of our own hands because we were being aggressive, which is a good sign because we were going hard after the ball. Obviously, we have to work on cleaning things up.''
Cleary was happy his club got the win in front of Walcavich and 451 fans.
"It was kind of strange moving into his seat after all these years. Hopefully, I've absorbed enough of his knowledge,'' Cleary said.
Thiel, an annual early-season opponent for Edinboro, got 13 points from guard Khari Bess, no relation to new Edinboro assistant and former player Chris Bess.
The game counts for the Scots, but is considered an exhibition and a loss of one scrimmage for the Tomcats or any Division III team that plays a Division II team before Nov. 15.

Baseball Earns Postseason Honors; Vitek MAC Player of the Year
CHILLICOTHE, Ohio - Ball State junior second baseman/right-handed pitcher Kolbrin Vitek (Bryan, Ohio/Bryan) has been named the Mid-American Conference Player of the year, as voted on by the league's head coaches. Vitek becomes the sixth Ball State Cardinal all-time to receive the honor and the first since Brad Snyder garnered the accolade in 2003.
Also, senior catcher Zach Dygert (Angola, Ind./Angola) and redshirt sophomore right-hander Perci Garner (Dover, Ohio/Dover) were named First Team All-MAC along with Vitek, while sophomore first baseman Ian Nielsen (La Porte, Ind./La Porte) earned Second Team All-MAC accolades.
Vitek has already been named to the Golden Spikes Award Watch List for the nation's top player and the John Olerud Award Watch List for the nation's top two-way player. He leads the MAC in runs scored (71), is second in home runs (17) and slugging percentage (.718) and is third in RBI (68), while also leading the MAC on the mound with a 3.27 ERA. He is batting a team-high .368 on the season and has tallied a team-high 81 hits, including 20 doubles.
Vitek, a preseason All-American selection, has been equally impressive on the mound as he has a 3-4 record as a weekend starter and has posted two saves on the year in a team-high 74.1 innings of work. In league action, he has a 3-2 record with two saves and lowers his team-best ERA to 2.72 in 53.0 innings of work, while averaging 7.47 strikeouts per game.
Vitek has been named a MAC West Player of the Week three times this season while also earning MAC West Pitcher of the Week accolades once. He was named the Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week earlier this season for leading the Cardinals to a series victory over Ohio when he tossed 7.0 shutout innings and posted a .500 batting average on the weekend.
Dygert, a team captain, earns his third All-MAC honor of his career after notching Second Team All-MAC honors as a sophomore and First Team All-MAC accolades as a junior and senior. He becomes the first Cardinal since Bryan Bullington (2000-02) to be honored for three straight seasons with All-MAC honors.
Dygert, a Johnny Bench Award Watch List member for the nation's top catcher, owns a .291 batting average and is second on the team with 11 home runs. He is third on the team with 54 RBI and is second in the MAC with 40 walks for a .432 on-base percentage. He has scored 41 runs and is second on the team with 17 doubles.
Garner picks up his first career MAC honor as he becomes the Cardinals' first starting pitcher First Team All-MAC honoree since Ben Snyder in 2005. He owns a 5-2 record on the season as the Cardinals' primary Friday starter and has a 4.43 ERA. He leads the team with 76 strikeouts in 67.0 innings of work and has made 10 starts this year, all in league play.
Garner posted a 4-2 record with a 3.86 ERA in MAC play this season, which ranks 10th in the league. He averages a MAC-high 9.18 strikeouts per nine innings in league action. He was named the MAC West Pitcher of the Week after striking out nine batters and tossing 6.0 shutout innings against Buffalo.
Nielsen, a Freshman All-America honoree last season, earns his second All-MAC honor of his career after also picking up Second Team accolades last season. He is third on the team with a .333 batting average and is second on the team with 55 RBI. He is third on the team with 10 home runs and is third with 72 hits. He has posted 21 multiple-hit games this season and 10 multiple-RBI games, including an eight-RBI performance at Bowling Green earlier this season (April 10).
Nielsen was also named to the ESPN The Magazine First Team Academic All-District this season for his work in the classroom as well as on the field.
Ball State opens the 2010 MAC Tournament Wednesday morning as the fourth-seeded Cardinals face the fifth-seeded Bowling Green Falcons at 9 a.m. at VA Memorial Stadium in Chillicothe, Ohio.

(Continued: Page 2 of 2)
The first thing I noticed was that the car feels very light, unsurprising as its curb weight is just over 3,000 pounds. Over a succession of rises, it lifted at each crest, to the point where stability control had to step in as I also had to negotiate a slight bend on the way down. It made for a breathless moment.
The DSG more than proved its worth when I left it to shift in its sport mode. As I braked in the last few yards before a turn, the transmission willingly changed down a gear or two, leaving me with plenty of power as I gave it gas for the turn exit. When I tapped the steering-wheel-mounted paddles, it shifted quickly and unerringly, always ready with the right gear.
Volkswagen has been offering the DSG for more than five years now, so has had time to perfect it. It uses two computer-controlled clutches, each covering one set of gears. While one is engaged, say in third gear, the other sits poised above either second or fourth, depending on which gear it anticipates you will want next. The better the programming, the better it will be at anticipating the next gear.
But at times, the 2-liter, four-cylinder engine was not quite ready to give me the benefits of its 200 horsepower. Even with the engine speed kept above 3,000rpm, the turbo lagged, making me wait a few portions of a second before it could give its all.
The suspension also could have been screwed down tighter. There was a lot of body movement as I threw the car into turn after turn. However, over a long drive I began to appreciate the movement, using it as a seat-of-the-pants measure of load balance among the tires.
But the biggest problem with the Jetta GLI is that it is not the GTI. Although the two cars share the same power train, the Jetta GLI is a sedan, and therefore cannot be a hot hatchback. Volkswagen, seeming to recognize the more conservative nature of sedans, did not give it launch control, one of the most childish and fun things about the GTI.
In sum
The other Jetta models all get by with boring engine and transmission combinations, but the 2012 Volkswagen Jetta GLI is the exciting one. Volkswagen may have had direct injection and turbocharging for some time now, but other automakers are only starting to recognize the benefits. The DSG is also an excellent everyday and sporting transmission.
The navigation and phone systems available in the Jetta GLI are good, but do not push the tech envelope in any significant way. The standout piece of cabin tech is the stereo, with its Fender audio system leading in sound quality for cars in this price range.
The Jetta GLI's sedan body has an inoffensive, mundane look, but proved practical, with plenty of trunk and comfortable cabin space. The seats, an upgrade for the GLI model, were particularly nice.

'It won't be romantic, it will be merciless'
Naturally one feels enormous sympathy for the family of the late Michael Dwyer who was shot dead by police in Bolivia last week. Complete and accurate information about the incident is not yet available and we may never know the full facts.

Personal Description:
The Pink Rose Project helps to raise funds for research leading to the discovery of a diagnostic tool for Ovarian Cancer…a tool which would have saved the life of my dear first cousin, Rosa Cabanillas.
Personal Description:
The Pink Rose Project commemorates the life of Rosa Cabanillas, loving and dedicated mother, grandmother, friend and mentor to many through her years as a teacher. Her battle lasted 3 years; just enough time to see her first grandchild brought into the world and into her loving arms.Rosa was often compared to Sophia Loren for her catlike eyes and long neck but incomparable in every aspect of her life. She will always be in my heart.

PSP Genetics Consortium
Help identify the genetic foundations of neurodegeneration through the sequencing and analysis of 3,000 genomes.
CurePSP, the foundation for prime of life neurodegeneration, is working in collaboration with leading geneticists to identify mutations that predispose people to developing progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and related diseases.
This will be the definitive study of PSP genetics involving the sequencing and analysis of 3,000 genomes using the latest technologies and processes. The project will take us a giant step forward in understanding the origins of not only PSP but of all neurodegeneration, including Alzheimer's disease.
You can help by funding the sequencing and analysis of one or more genomes with a donation of $1,500 per genome. You will get a framed map of a genome sequence you funded. Each map is a unique and beautiful representation of the discovery you are supporting. In addition, as a member of the CurePSP Genetics Consortium, you will receive our periodic progress report.
Make a contribution today to help take us one step closer to finding treatment and cure for neurodegeneration.

Keeping track of a loved one's state of health can be complicated, especially when dementia is the culprit. Dementia is a slow and barely perceptible decline, but knowing the signs can help head off problems ahead, particularly financial decisions that can go wrong if your loved one is in a state of decline and not aware there is a problem.
Unfortunately, decline is hard to understand. So, when is an individual in decline and when are financial decisions still safe?
A recent Forbes article titled "Aging Parents, Dementia And Financial Decisions: What Is Safe?" chronicles the story of one family and family business against the backdrop of dementia and decline.
In truth, there is no real test because dementia and financial choices simply do not avail themselves to conclusive testing. That said, it is essential that family members be steadily involved, understanding, and concerned. "Mara" in the original article is a perfect example.
Because Mara was involved, understanding and concerned, she was able to spot the "signs" of dementia before her mother lost the family business and estate due to poor decisions, increasing confusion and perhaps even those willing to take advantage of the situation. In the end, Mara not only had to spot the signs, she also had to get the help and coordination of a doctor to step in and assist.
Much stress and strain resulting from dementia later on can be preemptively eliminated by proper legal planning right now. Be sure to consult with qualified legal counsel to ensure that you, your loved ones and your assets are protected.
For more information on this and other estate planning subjects, contact Idaho Estate Planning and schedule a consultation. Remember, good planning is no accident.

Testimony: Vol. 1, Life & Relationship
Only India.Arie could turn a painful breakup into such a positive experience. Instead of being bitter, the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter uses her inspirational third album to testify about her personal journey to find strength, courage and wisdom from a failed relationship. Next time you feel the urge to burn all his stuff, listen to Miss India: "If Nelson Mandela can forgive his oppressors/ Surely I can forgive you for your passion," she sings on "Wings of Forgiveness," one of the most upbeat breakup songs you're ever likely to hear. Forgiveness is also a theme of Arie's soulful remake of Don Henley's "The Heart of the Matter." It's an unlikely cover choice for an R&B artist, but that goes to show her willingness to defy genre categorizations. She even recruits Gary Lenox of Rascal Flatts to harmonize with her on "Summer," a breezy, country-style ditty. Meanwhile, the hip-hop-inflected "I Am Not My Hair" plays like a sequel to her breakthrough 2001 hit "Video," serving as another anthem for African-American women. [STARS 3.5]
