'That very rare thing, a top-notch historical novel...Unsworth's theme is human rivalry; his subject is the slave trade of the mid eighteenth century...Sacred Hunger is a tremendous performance' D.J. Taylor, Sunday Times '[A] gripping yarn...Sacred Hunger covers a period between 1752 and 1765. It concerns the entangled and conflicting fortunes of two cousins: Erasmus Kemp, the son of a Lanc ashire merchant, and Matthew Paris, a scholar and surgeon j ust released from prison...the Liverpool Merchant is the vessel on which the whole of the novel hinges, and it carries the reader deep into the hisory of man's iniquitous greed... no recent domestic novel has come within a mile of it' Anthony Quinn, Independent
Centering on the voyage of a mid-18th-century slave-trading ship, this is a magnificent tale of corruption and greed, of men under pressure and moral choices. In 1752, on a wave of optimism, the Liverpool Merchant sets sail to buy and sell African slaves. The owner and captain are looking for a quick profit; the crew are seduced by visions of lewd African women. But once the slaves are on board disease spreads through the cramped ship, leading to acts of barbarity which bring about bloody consequences. Booker Prize winner 1992. (Kirkus UK)

Italy judge wants ancient statue seized from Getty
By Ella Ide
ROME (Reuters Life!) - An Italian judge ordered the seizure of an ancient Greek statue from the J. Paul Getty Museum on Thursday, the latest round in a lengthy legal dispute over artworks Italy says were looted from its territory.
The Los Angeles-based museum, which bought the bronze statue for $3.9 million in 1977, said it would appeal to Italy's top court against the ruling.
Prosecutors in the Italian city of Pesaro argued that the highly prized sculpture -- which depicts an athlete crowned with an olive wreath -- was illegally smuggled out of Italy and the museum did not carry out proper checks before buying it.
Pesaro judge Lorena Mussoni ordered that the statue, called the "Statue of a Victorious Youth," be "seized from the Getty Museum or wherever it may be at the moment."
In a statement, the J. Paul Getty Trust, one of the richest U.S. art institutions, said it would "vigorously defend its legal ownership of the statue."
It said the same court in Pesaro had dismissed an earlier case in 2007 over whether the statue belonged to Italy, ruling that the statute of limitations had long expired, that there was no one to prosecute under Italian law, and that the Getty was to be considered "a good faith owner."
"In fact, no Italian court has ever found any person guilty of any criminal activity in connection with the export or sale of the statue," the statement said.
"GETTY MUST RETURN STATUE" Continued...

In my last post I wrote about the importance of staying focused while spending less. One the strategies I've been using is avoiding spending temptations by not going to the shopping mall or other stores unless I have to make a specific purchase. If you're working on paying off debt and trying to stay within your budget avoiding unnecessary purchases can make a huge difference in staying on track.
In the comments to my post there were a few tips from readers on what to do with your spare time and avoid spending. I thought it would a nice follow-up in case you missed the tips in the comments.
Go Outside
Take advantage of the summer and enjoy the nice weather. We have a nice patio area in our house that we set up last summer. It's the perfect place to hang out with friends and family or even read a book or have a picnic without having to spend extra money.
Go for a Walk
We enjoy taking walks around the neighborhood especially when it's not too hot outside. So far, we've had nice and comfortable weather in our neck of the woods this spring. It's also a great way to get to know your neighborhood.
Go Bike Riding
Well this can also be a great form of getting your exercise on. You can get into shape while saving some dollars.
Watch a Movie
This is one of my favorite options as we love watching movies and we built a modest home theater in our basement when we bought our house. This summer we're enjoying watching the World Cup.
Establish a Savings Goal
One of my goals for 2014 is to replace a retaining wall in my backyard. At the beginning of the year I received the quote and I knew how much I needed to save to get the job done. I've been working on saving for that repair all year. It's been a great motivator to stay focused and avoid spending temptations.
Stay Busy
This last tip was just provided in the comments and I think it's a great one so I wanted to add it to the list. Staying busy with your job or on a second job can help you pay off that debt sooner while not having time to think about spending. Staying busy with home projects might help you build some home equity. Home maintenance is something you have to do anyway so why not take on some of those projects yourself instead of paying someone else?
These are just a few simple but effective ideas on what you can do to avoid spending temptations. It can actually be fun, possibly get you into shape and can even help you discover your neighborhood. Most importantly, it can help you achieve your goals faster.

Who said that Jeremy Lin is the only one who the NBA fans will have to watch this season and are in the upcoming games in the NBA? Well, let me tell you that He might have had some big moments in his first 6 to 7 games this season in the NBA, but there are also guys who've shown such power, drive, talent and skills like no other that definitely out shined and out ranked NBA star Jeremy Lin here! I don't know if you are going to believe this or not, but the Rising Stars Challenge held in Orlando, Florida yesterday February 24, 2012.
Right now, the one that's making a big noise and getting all that fame is none other than, the 20 year old Cleveland Calier player Kyrie Irving! This guy has been the one that have had set the mood of the game! Let me remind you that he is a point guard that stands 6'3″ and an excellent long range shooter! Why did he win? Well, apart from his excellent display of aerial tricks including some amazing assists and alley-oop in the game, young Irving here had a perfect 8 for 8 in the arc and scored a total of 34 points in the game that lead the win against Team Shaq with the score of 146-133.
By the way, you are probably thinking who the other talented young NBA players were there, then let me inform you that there's Paul George, John Wall from the Wizards, Cleveland's Tristan Thompson, Minnesota's Ricky Rubio, Knicks Landry Fields and Jeremy Lin and a whole lot more! This is a fully packed promising star! The game was hot and very entertaining and it sure made the crowd proud! Well, apart from Kyrie Irving winning the MVP crown, it also made him be recognized worldwide. I bet that this is going to be the start of a different and tough NBA game for him.

"My husband and I planned a fun and exciting baby shower for our second child, who is due this NOVEMBER. I was looking for a special kind of invitation to go with our theme, Gender Reveal. The card I found on Tiny Prints was spot on with its design. It matches our decor to a T!!! I was elated. Our shower is being hosted by my sister and all invites have been mailed. Everyone of our closest family and friends have only the best of compliments about the design of the invitation! We couldn't have made it better ourselves, absolutely AWESOME!"
"These jungle safari baby shower invitations are so adorable! The colors and layout are perfect for an expectant mom who does not know the gender of her baby. Personalizing the card was so easy and interactive. The customer service was great and the invitations were delivered before the promised day. I'd definitely use Tiny Prints again and recommend them to anyone."
"I'm very pleased with how these invitations turned out - I was looking for a gender neutral design that deviated from the normal green/yellow themes. These were perfect, and look very high quality. I highly recommend having the envelopes printed as well - it saved so much time and was worth every penny. My only request would be to allow for some different font options for the envelopes so they're more customizable! Thanks for a great product!"
"Used them for my baby shower and they came out very cute and sturdy. I also purchased the "natural" colored envelopes with them. Very pleased with the purchase and how they came out."
"It was everything and more i expected it to be down to every detail. I'm a 1st time mom and it was so important to me that the quality of the invite down to the envelopes were perfect. I paid so little for such a high quality item Thank You Tiny Prints."

Fingerprints not scientific: judgeIn a stunning announcement, a federal judge in the U.S. has ruled that fingerprint analysis does not constitute a scientific means of investigating crime.According to Supreme Court statutes, the results of an investigative technique can only be considered as "scientific evidence" if the technique conforms to four criteria: it must be testable; its validity can be subjected to review by other scientists; its accuracy can be measured reliably by known rates of error and the procedures involved are "generally recognized as science."In a recent murder trial in which fingerprints were submitted as evidence, a Pennsylvania judge decided that since the fingerprint examiners who work in crime labs do not constitute a proper scientific community, their methods—only discussed within that group—had never been subjected to a proper peer review process.Critics fear that the ruling will cast doubt on the validity of other forensic methods, like ballistics techniques and tool matchingTwinkle, twinkle, little (fake) starTo help them calibrate the telescope in the Keck Observatory in Hawaii, U.S. researchers have generated an artificial "star" that glows 100 kilometres above the earth's surface.A new 18-watt laser shoots a yellow beam of light straight up from the observatory; it's too weak to be seen with the naked eye, but when reflected off the swirls of space dust that circle just above the atmosphere, it produces a metre-wide blotch that looks much like a star from the Earth's surface.Telescopes are often fooled by the distorting effects of gases in the atmosphere. The laser light will allow the Keck Observatory to focus correctly, since the spot of reflected light is located beyond any atmospheric gas.

The #1 New York Times bestselling series.
Our Gennisi (Beginning)
Come with me, modern traveler, back to a time that has been shrouded by mystery. Back to an ancient legend that has been mostly forgotten. Or at the very least…
We see remnants of it in our advanced world. What present-day mortal doesn't know to fear the light of the full moon? To fear the howl of a wolf? The cry of a hawk? To look with caution into the darkest alleys. Not in fear of human predators, but in fear of something else.
Something dark. Dangerous. Something even deadlier than our human counterparts.
But mankind didn't always hold this fear. Indeed, there was a time once, long ago, when humans were humans and animals were animals.
Until the day of the Allagi. They say the birth of the Were-Hunters, like most great evils, started out with only the best of intentions.
King Lycaon of Arcadia had no idea that when he wed, his precious, beloved queen wasn't human. His wife held within her a dark secret. She was born to the cursed Apollite race and was destined to die in the heart of her youth… at age twenty-seven.
It wasn't until her last birthday when Lycaon watched his beloved die horribly of old age that he realized the two sons she had born him would follow her to an early grave.
Grief-stricken, he had sought out his priests who all told him there was nothing he could do. Fate was fate.
But Lycaon refused to heed their wisdom. He was a sorcerer and he was determined that no one would steal his sons away from him. Not even the Fates themselves.
And so he set about using his magick to elongate the lives of his wife's people. Capturing them, he magically spliced their essence with various animals who were known for their strength: Bears, panthers, leopards, hawks, lions, tigers, jackals, wolves and even dragons.
As he blended the animal with the psychically enhanced Apollites, two creatures were created. One that held a human heart. One that held the animal's. Each one possessed traits of the other. No longer human, no longer animal, it was a bastard hybrid of the two species.
He spent years perfecting his new race, until at last he was sure he'd found the cure for his sons. Blending them with a dragon and a wolf, the strongest of the animals he had experimented with, he imbued them with more strength and magic than any of the others. In truth, he gave of his own power to them.
In the end, he received more than even he had bargained for. Not only did his sons have longer lives than his wife, they had longer lives than any known species.
With their magical abilities and animal strength, they now lived ten to twelve times longer than any human.
The Fates looked down and saw what the proud king had done. Angry at his interference into their domain, the Fates decreed that he must kill his sons and all like them.
Lycaon refused.
It was then the Fates sought out their own form of punishment for his hubris. His children and all like them were cursed anew.
"There will never be peace among your children," Clotho, the Fate who spins the threads of life, proclaimed. "They will spend eternity hating and fighting until the day when the last of them breathes no more."
And so it was. Whenever Lycaon blended an animal with a human, he, in fact, made two beings. One being who held an animal's heart and one who held a human heart.
Those who walked as men and who held human hearts were termed Arcadians after their Lycaon's people. Those who held animal hearts were termed Katagaria.
The Katagaria were born as animals and lived as animals, yet once they reached puberty, when the magical powers were unlocked by their hormones, they would be able to become human- at least externally. Their animal hearts would always govern their actions.
Likewise, the Arcadians were born as humans and lived as humans until their puberty brought with it their magic and their ability to shift into animal form.
Two sides of a single coin, the two species should have been at peace. Instead, the goddesses sent Discordia to plant mistrust between them. The Arcadians felt themselves superior to their animal cousins. After all, they were humans with human rationale while the Katagaria were only animals who could take human form.
The Katagaria learned quickly that the Arcadians weren't honest about their intentions and would say one thing, then do another.
All throughout time, the two groups have preyed upon each other while each side took the moral high ground. The animals believe the Arcadians are the real threat while the Arcadians believe the Katagaria must be controlled or put down.
It is an endless war.
And as with all wars, there has never been a true victor. There have only been casualties who still suffer from the prejudice and unfounded hatred.
~Excerpt taken from the prologue to Night Play
I am Damos Kattalakis, leader of my Drakos patria (clan) of Arcadians. As one of the direct descendants of King Lycaon, I am a Regis for the Omegrion Council which tries to maintain some sort of peace between our two races. Ours is a never ending struggle as we try to enforce some sort of rules onto two warring races who want nothing to do with rules of any sort.
Born half-human, half-Apollite, we were stricken by the ancient gods and cast down out of jealousy. My great-grandfather sought to save us. To preserve us.
Out of his love and magic we, and our cousins, the Katagaria, were created.
Since we are born of two worlds, we walk of two worlds. Time and dimension have no meaning to us. We aren't bound by the laws of mortal physics. Mystical and mythical, we walk through dimensions and time, and even space itself– Finding our home and peace wherever we can.
We are half animal, half human. Half demon and half saint. At war within ourselves and without.
A race of both wizards and barbarians, we are capable of extreme compassion and utter, cold-blooded ruthlessness.
We have been called many things by those who fear us: demons, witches, warlocks, sorcerers shape-shifters, even vampires and devils.
Pursued by our enemies and even by our own, we are the last great race of warriors.

Will Aimee and Fang ever have a baby?
Aimee would say that they're having a lot of fun trying. Fang would say that he's scared of what their baby would look like with a bear mother and wolf father. He's afraid Aimee would give birth to a Chou-Chou and that it would then hate them forever. As the author, I will say that it's not out of the question. Maybe...
Will Cherif ever have his own book?
Pretty sure he will. But I said that about Kassim and was wrong (Kassim decided to go gallant and get killed). Let's hope Cherif doesn't decide to go bonkers.
Will Quinn ever have a book?
I don't know. He's not really speaking to me. But I never say never. And he is on a quest so... We'll see.
Will Sasha ever have a book?
I'm working on it. We're getting closer, I think.
Is there something between Apollymi and Savitar?
Yes. It's called hatred and it has to do with a mistake Savitar made centuries ago. One he's very sorry for, but she won't ever forgive him. And he can't blame her. Some things sorry doesn't fix.
A member of a race cursed by the god Apollo. They cannot be out in daylight and they must live on the blood of each other. On their 27th birthday, they die a slow and painful death over the course of a twenty-four hour period unless they decide to turn Daimon and prey on human souls. So long as the human soul is alive inside them, they can live. The moment the soul expires, they die. Therefore, they are always trying to find new souls to take.
A race of demons from Atlantis who are extremely violent and amoral. But they have a very interesting code of ethics.
An Apollite who refuses to docilely die over a curse s/he had no part in creating. They feed on human souls and fight the Dark-Hunters. They are mistakenly called vampires, but vampires are a different entity.
An ancient warrior who sold his/her soul to the Greek goddess Artemis for a single act of vengeance. Now they protect mankind from the Daimons who want to claim our souls.
They are the gods of sleep who were cursed by Zeus to feel no emotion whatsoever. But they carry within them a dark secret that could completely shake the world in which they live. The Oneroi branch are often helpers to the Dark-Hunters.
Eons ago, an individual approached each of the patrias and told them that they must each elect a representative to come and make laws and judgments that would govern all the Weres the world over. At first, they balked until they realized that Savitar wasn't the type of man to take no for an answer.
Only the strongest of the strong ever make it to this level. These are our undisputed leaders and they speak on behalf of every member of their patria. The only way for them to lose their seat is by death...
The council decides when an individual clan should be disbarred or destroyed. They also oversee setting up sanctuaries and havens. Most of all, they are charged with judging individuals Slayers and calling out a blood hunt to see them dead.

A human who speaks with the gods. They tend to be really crusty/cranky people. We think it's because they don't get enough sleep. Too many voices in their head.
A Katagari who has lost all control of his/her powers and has been driven insane by them. They are indiscriminate killers and are hunted, then put down by the Strati and Sentinels. It's also a term that the Arcadians use for any strong Katagari fighter, and one they use to justify killing any Katagari they find.
A human who is employed by a Dark-Hunter or a human who has skills that make a Dark-Hunter's life a bit easier. They have an entire organization set up and are willing to die or kill to protect the secret of the DH world.
The Katagaria equivalent to an Arcadian Sentinel, i.e. super warriors who are even stronger than the rest of their people. Aside from the difference between their subspecies, the Strati do not have the facial markings of the Sentinels. The Arcadians refer to them as Slayers, but Slayers to the Katagaria are those who have lost control of their powers and have been driven insane by them. A true Slayer is hunted and put down by the Strati.
Originally part of the Apollite race, a Were-Hunter's DNA was magically spliced with animals so that they wouldn't die at age 27. Now they are shape-shifters who are embroiled in a war against each other and they live for centuries, but are not immortal.

I like my crab cakes to highlight the delicate crab flavor so I steer away from red and green peppers as ingredients. I KNOW most #foodies like crab cakes have bold flavors in the ingredients but I feel you lose the crab as the most important flavor.
8 oz crab meat (blue crab is what I used)
4 oz Philadelphia Whipped Cream Cheese with chives
1 cup Panko (Japanese bread crumbs) ½ cup for crab cakes and ½ cup for coating
½ Cup + 2 TBSP grated Parmesan
1/2 t. onion powder
1/2 t. garlic powder
½ t. salt
¼ t. pepper
1 T. horseradish sauce Optional)
1 T. lemon rind
1/3 cup egg whites
3/8 Teaspoon cream of tartar
4 Tbsp Olive Oil for frying crab cakes
- Combine crab meat with:
Cream Cheese
½ cup Panko
Onion powder
Garlic powder
Lemon rind
- Beat egg whites until foamy
- Add cream of tartar
- Beat until stiff peaks form
- Gently combine beaten egg whiles with crab mixture 1/3 at a time
- Combine ½ cup Panko with 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan and place on plate
- Form 6 crab cakes about ½ inch thick and coat with the Panko and Parmesan
- Heat Olive Oil in large frying pan
- Sauté crab cakes 3-4 minutes per side on medium until brown and cooked through.
These light and fluffy crab cakes will surprise you with a bit of a bite. But not to worry, it won't hurt and the horseradish just accentuates the crab! They will become your favorite!

Recorded history speaks of emissaries between Sri Lanka and Rome in the 1st century. According to historian Pliny, there were four members from Sri Lanka who visited (Circa 50 A.D.) the Court of Emperor Claudius Caesar. Another delegation from Sri Lanka arrived in Rome during the time of Emperor Julian (Circa A.D. 375). This was during the reign of King Mahanama of Sri Lanka. There have been political and trade links between our two countries, dating back to several centuries.
In modern times, the Embassy of Sri Lanka in Italy was established in 1952. Both countries are maintaining Missions headed by a resident Ambassador in each others' capitals. There have been a number of high level visits between the two countries over the years. Bilateral relations between our two countries have been close and cordial. Strong people to people contacts have been an important element of the bilateral relations. There are an estimated 80,000 Sri Lankan expatriates in Italy.
The Bilateral Air Services Agreement signed in 1959 and subsequently revised to reflect new realities, has been an important conduit for intensified people to people interaction and facilitating business. Flights between Colombo, Milan and Rome operate 3 days of the week. An Investment Protection Agreement and an Agreement on Avoidance of Double Taxation was concluded in 1990 facilitate an important area of business. The Italy – Sri Lanka Business Council was established in 1997 and the Establishment of this Council has contributed to increase Italian investments in Sri Lanka.
Relief assistance in the aftermath of the tsunami disaster symbolizes the warm and generous goodwill Italy extends to Sri Lanka. Italy has been particularly forthcoming in Sri Lanka's times of need. Almost 50 million Euros were provided as Tsunami relief and reconstruction assistance following the December 2004 tsunami. Italian funds financed 48 critical projects in Sri Lanka and the Italian Government flights were among the first to land at the Katunayake Airport within 24 hours of the Tsunami striking Sri Lanka.
The varied nature of existing bilateral agreements is indicative of the vibrancy of the relationship between Italy and Sri Lanka. The agreements signed as of present include, among others:
- Air Services Agreement signed in 1959 and subsequent commercial arrangement revisions
- Investment Promotion & Protection Agreement signed in 1987
- Agreement on Avoidance of Double Taxation signed in 1984 and concluded in 1990
- Agreement for Cultural, Scientific and Technological Cooperation
- Memorandum to amend the 1873 Extradition Treaty dated August 1999
- Exchange of Notes on Anchorage
- Exchange of Notes for the Re-admission of illegal immigrants
The two countries enjoy a consolidated trade and investment relationship. The value of total trade between the two countries is registered at US $ 604.49 Mn. in 2009. This figure is a slight decline of 10.7% compared to the previous year (2008), primarily due to a decline in exports from Sri Lanka to Italy, as well as imports from Italy to Sri Lanka. However, the potential for 2010 and beyond is viewed as very positive, particularly in the post-conflict scenario. There is growing interest and initiatives to further intensify trade and investment between the two countries, including in the tourism sector.
Overall, the relationship between Sri Lanka and Italy is a strong and abiding one. The ancient links, coupled with the positive political relationship and supplemented by vibrant activity in the cultural sphere, and intense people to people contacts have resulted in a dynamic, mutually rewarding relationship. The relationship with Italy is considered to be one of the most positive and helpful engagements Sri Lanka enjoys in the European sector.

I have found that every couple of weeks there is a question regarding roof racks. I work for a Thule dealer and consider myself knowledgeable about their car rack systems.
Thule developed a specific rack system that will fit Jettas, Golfs, and the 3 door GTI. This also includes the Jetta coupe as well.
The model #305(pictured blow) includes the foot pack, load bars, and locks.
**The 300 will work because it a universal rain tray design, however the 305 is a more specific designed rain tray design for mkII. It is more advisable to use the 305.**
Compatibility, Restrictions, and Miscellaneous Facts
-165 lb load capacity
-5" bar clearance
-The max barspread is 34"(longest distance between the front and rear load bar that the car is capable of achieving).
-A 41" load bar is included with the racks and longer bars may be substituted.
-A 13mm wrench is required for install.
-Luggage baskets #581 and #582 are not compatable.
-Storage box #627 or The Weekender Box are not compatable.
Thule since 2002 redesigned their fairings to be more rounded and less square looking. Although the rectangular ones still exist, it is increasingly difficult to find one with all of the parts needed for mounting. Since then the they have a more rounded snowboard looking fairing. The fairing suggested for the rack is the #871 Medium
Old style:
New style:
From here you have many different options for carriers. Thule offers bicycle trays, ski/snowboard carriers, water sport carriers, luggage, and storage options. You are limited to a 41" load bars so some things make take up most of your space. The only other limitation to carriers are the specific carriers listed above(581,582,627).
If you have any questions regarding the rack systems, spare parts, or accessories for your rack, refer to http://www.thule.com or check with your local Thule dealer.
Please ask me questions, but don't ask me for discounts on any Thule products, I am not a forum sponsor so therefore I am not obligated to give you a deal.

Probably the simplest way is:
Horner[y*(x + x^2), x]
x*(x*y + y)
You can also do this using PolynomialReduce:
x*PolynomialReduce[y*(x + x^2), x][[1,1]]
x*(x*y + y)

12-year-old girl injured in quad-car crash in Crystal Township
By Daily News • Last Updated 9:09 am on Thursday, August 23, 2012
CRYSTAL TOWNSHIP – A 12-year-old girl was treated for minor road rash Wednesday evening after her quad crashed into a car.
Montcalm County Sheriff's deputies responded to a car versus quad accident on E. Pakes Road at about 5:50 p.m.
According to witnesses, the girl was driving a 2005 E-Ton four wheeler down her driveway at the maximum of about 30 miles per hour when she entered the roadway without slowing.
The girl struck a westbound 2005 Kia Sorento being driving by a 33-year-old woman.
The driveway was obstructed from view by trees to westbound traffic.
The 12-year-old was transported to Carson City Hospital by her parents.
Alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the accident.

A Gallup poll published this week in a report on Muslim-Western relations for the World Ecnomic Forum reflects an "alarming low level of optimism regarding dialogue between Islam and the West." Most people in Muslim and Western nations countries believe dividions between them are worsening and each side believes the other disrespects their culture. Negative perceptions were most prevalent in the Unitd States, Israel and Palestinian terrfitories, most probably due to the Iraq war and the conflict between Israel and Palestinians. Although two thirds of people in Muslim nations said they respected the West, almost the same number felt the West did not respect them. Most Western respondents said they did not believe either side respected the other. Ironically, Iranians who have heard about threats of military action by the United States feel less disrespect than Turks who have scant conflict with America and are interested in entering the European Union. Of course, if they fail gaining entry it will only exacerbate distrust.
The report notes Europeans believe "greater interaction between the Muslim and Western worlds is a threat than a benefit." One would hope the presence of more and more Muslims in the Western world might eventually reduce fears, it is a hope, not a certainty.

St. John's has a surfeit of excellent attackmen. An all-senior trio of starters has helped the Red Storm (5-3) to a three-game winning streak.
There's more. Junior Stefan Diachenko, a natural attackman, is playing in the second midfield. All he's done is score 10 goals on 17 shots (58.8%).
When one of the starting attackmen wasn't available for the Hofstra game on March 18, senior Keith Switzer moved into the lineup and scored a goal in an overtime victory.
Not to mention junior Eric DeJohn, a high school All-American attackman at Jamesville-Dewitt (NY); he joined the team from Syracuse this season and currently starts on midfield.
There are plenty of other solid aspects to the Red Storm. But the starting attack is worth keeping an eye on when the team plays a nationally televised game (FoxSports1) on Saturday night against Providence on the road.
The starters have great balance: Lefty Kieran McArdle, righty Kevin Cernuto and crease finisher Colin Keegan.
The trio helped account for one of the most incredible stats of the weekend: In a 13-11 victory over host Stony Brook, the Red Storm took 50 shots and had only three turnovers.
"That wasn't by design," coach Jason Miller says of the low turnover total. "We were trailing so we had to move quickly. Basically a bunch of things just went right."
The starting attack accounted for all 13 goals against Stony Brook: McArdle had six, Keegan added four and Cernuto scored three.
For the year, McArdle has 25 goals and 21 assists; Keegan has 19 goals and six assists; and Cernuto has 17 goals and six assists.
"The options on how to defend those guys only go so far," Miller says. "If you 'coma slide' you're leaving Cernuto to get to McArdle or the other way around. If you crease slide you're leaving Keegan. Or you don't slide [and leave a defender one-on-one]. Their balance is what makes them so effective."
The Red Storm have struggled on face-offs — 40.5% this year, though they won four of five in a fourth-quarter comeback against the Seawolves.
The offense features more than the attack. Miller is using the top two midfield lines equally. The first line is seniors Ryan Fitzgerld and Connor Mullen with DeJohn.
The second line features a rotation of Diachenko with redshirt sophomore James Bonanno and either Switzer or sophomore Keith Hughes.
All those players, along with freshman goalie Joseph Danaher (Massapequa, NY), will have a role in how far the Red Storm goes this season.
But the starting attack is where most game plans will begin.
"We're getting good balance on offense," Miller says. "And not just being strong on the left, the right and inside on attack. The midfield guys are starting to share the ball and they're starting to hit their step-down shots. It takes a lot of the pressure off the attack.
"The reason we're playing better now is all those facets [other than the attack] are getting better."
Looking out for No. 1
The first game for Loyola as the No. 1 team comes Saturday, against No. 17 Colgate in a Patriot League contest in Hamilton, N.Y.
It should be fascinating for several reasons. There's the potential matchup of Loyola senior defenseman Joe Fletcher against Colgate junior Ryan Walsh (19 goals, 11 assists), the team's leader in goals and assists.
On the other end, Loyola senior Justin Ward (9G, 30A) may draw senior Bobby Lawrence (24 groundballs, 17 turnovers).
And the Raiders on offense play a similar style to Georgetown, which took Loyola to the brink in a 10-9 loss last week. The Raiders win face-offs and if there's not a transition opportunity, they have long possessions that force the defense to be focused at all times.
"Walsh is a handful and their midfield is pretty slick. [The offense] probably wore our defense out a little," Navy coach Rick Sowell said after a 10-7 loss to Colgate on Saturday. "They scored on the back end of a few long possessions. It's a good offense, that's for sure."
The Raiders have won seven of eight dating from an opening loss to Lafayette. They are strong in all facets. Junior Alex Kinnealey is winning 60.1% of his face-offs.
Against the Midshipmen, the starting midfield — sophomores Cameron Williams and Eric Foote and junior Matt Clarkson — accounted for four goals and six assists.
And the defense, led by Lawrence, entered last week second in the nation in scoring (six goals per game).
There also is a good chemistry. Senior Jimmy Ryan, a team captain, is playing defensive midfield after starting on offense last year and finishing with 15 goals and eight assists.
"We needed to find a place for Jimmy," Colgate coach Mike Murphy says. "We're trying to get him in the swing of things, and the best place for Jimmy right now is in the defensive midfield and to have him play some transition. … Jimmy just wants to play."
Ryan's mindset is part of an effective defense that features a freshman and sophomore starting alongside Lawrence on close and freshman Brandon Burke (Bullis, Md.) starting in goal.
The Raiders primarily are a crease-sliding team. After Navy made three of its first five shots, however, Murphy adjusted and went to almost strictly a man-to-man defense.
In one stretch, Navy scored one goal in 39 minutes 54 seconds.
"We told the guys to take their matchup personally," Murphy says. "We wanted to buckle down on defense."
On offense, Walsh is one of the best attackmen in the game. At 6-feet-4, 235 pounds, he has the size to gain an edge in a lot of matchups. A coach who has seen Walsh play marvels at how good is his vision.
The coach says that thanks to spacing by the offensive midfield, Walsh has an uncanny sense of whether he can beat his defender and get to the goal before a slide will arrive. He also is very good at finding open teammates if and when a slide does prevent his path to the goal.
One other part of Colgate's offense that impressed on Saturday was the passing of Clarkson. He was comfortable throwing long passes across the offensive box to an open teammate on the back of the defense.
Loyola, you've been warned.

Three candidates running for two seats on Fillmore council
However the November election turns out, one thing is certain: For the first time in years, Fillmore will have five elected City Council members.
Two of the current council members were appointed, not elected, to their seats, to fill vacancies left by members who resigned. Both of their terms end this year, so their seats are up for grabs in November.
Wednesday was the deadline for candidates to qualify for the November ballot, after it was extended five days because one incumbent did not file papers. There will be three candidates for two open seats: incumbent Diane McCall; Carrie Broggie, a member of the city Film Commission; and Tim Holmgren, a member of the Planning Commission.
McCall is one of the council members appointed to a vacant seat. The other, Steve Conaway, is not running for another term. He previously served two terms on the council and said before he was appointed that he would not seek another.
McCall said she'd always planned to run when her appointed term ended.
"I think I have a track record with potential voters now," she said. "People know who I am and they know where I'm coming from."
Broggie is a member of the Film Commission, a group appointed by the City Council to oversee commercial filming. The commission has helped to turn Fillmore into a destination for movies, television and advertising shoots, which has provided much-needed stimulus to the local economy.
Holmgren is a member of another appointed body, the Fillmore Planning Commission, which he has chaired for the past three years. The Planning Commission rules on certain land use issues and development projects and makes recommendations to the City Council on other land use and development matters. "They're both been involved with the city, so that's great," McCall said. "No matter what happens, there will be some continuity."
In recent years, Fillmore has essentially adopted political parties. The three council members who were elected in 2012 campaigned together, and the two people they appointed, McCall and Conaway, were among their supporters. The council majority before 2012 was made up of people who were opposed to the new guard.
Holmgren and Broggie were both appointed to their seats by the previous council, but both are also on good terms with the new council members.
"I've been in favor of all the decisions that this council has made so far, but I'm not really on one side or the other," Holmgren said. "In my conversations with a lot of people, what has been stressed to me is that Fillmore needs a bridge between the two groups."
Broggie could not be reached for comment on Thursday.

The Sony NEX-3N has been officially unveiled as the smallest and lightest interchangeable-lens camera with an APS-C sensor.
The Sony NEX-3N will take its place as the entry point to the NEX range of mirrorless cameras.
It sports a 16.1-megapixel Exmor APS HD CMOS image sensor, and maximum sensitivity has been boosted to ISO 16000.
Of course, you also get the ability to mount any of the existing NEX-range lenses. Without a lens attached it weighs a mere 210 grams.
Around back there's a 3-inch LCD display that can be tilted through 180 degrees, while on top of the body there's a pop-up flash.
As revealed when images of the Sony NEX-3N were leaked onto the internet yesterday, there's also a new zoom lever around the camera's shutter button. Attach a compatible power zoom lens and you'll be able to control the optical zoom level as you would a standard point and shoot camera. It can also be used to adjust digital zoom if you're not using a power zoom lens.
As this is intended to be an entry point into serious photography, there's an intriguing new software feature called Auto Object Framing. This judges the composition of a shot - how many people, whether an object is moving, whether you're after a macro shot - and automatically crops the picture accordingly.
The idea is to grant more professional-looking results with minimal effort.
Sony claims that the Sony NEX-3N is the first NEX camera to support 'Triluminos Colour.' This apparently means that you'll get dramatically boosted colour depth when viewing images and videos back on a compatible Bravia TV.
The Sony NEX-3N will be available in Europe from March. No pricing information has been revealed as yet.

I don't know about the "crucify and burn him" part, but otherwise I say: "Here! Here!" I don't believe that we can stereotype all priests by Randy's actions because I know there are good priests and the actions of one or even several cannot negate the good of the many good priests attending to God's work. It is for that reason that I believe priests caught with thier hand in the cookie jar need to be dealt with severely because their actions can have a negative impact on the entire priest population and Catholicism at large. Just look at this string of comments. Randy's actions are categorically being termed "A Catholic Thing" when in fact, it's just a Randy Thing. Randy is Filipino too. Does that mean this is a Filipino thing? Both suggestions are ridiculous. Assign blame where it belongs. Randy did this. Randy needs to except responsibility, leave the Church and find work in a profession wherein trysts in Hotel 6s are acceptable and expected.Joel Ayel wrote:

hahahaha, another priest, ANOTHER priest, this is the not the first, and surely not the last, perhaps the idiots showing support are surprised it was with a woman, instead of a helpless child,
perhaps this will enlighten all of you, and show you that your christianity and all your religions are based on SEX/FERTITLITY cult worship,
look at the numbers of all the priest molestations, there is a world wide campaign underway, and you are happily the victims,
drown him, burn him, crucify him for all the world to see,

Melchor: Are you kidding?? Your child's teacher may have a penis as well. Does this give him license to "minister" to her sexuality when he's supposed to be teaching her algebra? Your wife's doctor may have a penis too. Does this give him license to "minister" to her while she's under anesthesia? Or how about the local policeman who stops your mother for having a broken tail light? Is it okay for him to "check under the hood" with both mom and the car? Rape is rape. Even if all were concentual acts, would it be appropriate to engage in such activity "on the clock" in a professional environment? Cut to the chase. If the postman shows up at your door and your dog starts to mate with his leg, civilized people admonish the dog. Should we not expect the same from a person tasked with ministering the Word of God? Rest assured, my brain is in gear. Is yours?

Perth: Come on! I get horny everytime I go to the Gold Coast in December too. But if I show up as a priest, start offering confessions and start humping everyone who kneels down in front of me - chances are I'm going to end up in jail - and rightfully so. Being horny does not give license to take advantage of one's authority and profession. Not even in the Outback...

#97 Apr 21, 2009
I stand corrected. Truly a profound oversight. If in fact the evidence suggests that the woman was in fact victimized and the sex was either not consentual or she was mislead into believing the act was acceptable as a result of her spiritual mentor's deception, then as Christians, we should pray for her healing and commend her for having the courage to come forward with the same sense of focus that we should pursue a fair and just sentence for Randy.

Father Randy, pandi, what ever! This is a pervert and probably did all the alter boys like the priest do! Now he's moving on to Women!

Father Randy Benas is a sexual pervert in Philippines with many girls every time he spent vacation. One of his girlfriend was my ex-girlfriend and she told me how Father Randy Benas treat her during sexual intercourse. She told me lots of stories about him and also told me that he loves to drink and watch nude girls dancing in some night clubs in Manila. I'm not surprised to find out this news.

Critic Reviews for Isolation
All Critics (9) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (3) | DVD (1)
Novice writer-director Billy O'Brien brings a seriousness of purpose and a modicum of showmanship to the task of serving generic B-movie cheese in Isolation
Working from a rather inauspicious premise ... writer-director Billy O'Brien conjures a remarkable genre achievement: a somber, sad, and absolutely convincing film that is also genuinely terrifying.
Isolation is a claustrophobic, increasingly icky chiller that is just as horrifying for its underlying ideas as for the more visceral shocks that it presents on screen.
Taking itself far too seriously and nearly devoid of suspense, Isolation gets kudos for a nice try... but I can't recommend it.
Fans of good old-fashioned creature features should be very pleased...
Audience Reviews for Isolation
A bloody confluence of Alien and Old McDonald Had A Farm.
Super Reviewer
A decent Irish chiller clearly inspired by "Its Alive" and "Alien". I enjoyed the earlier stages more. Isolation here lives up to its name -- the dilapidated and perpetually dark cattle farm, the cows in gruesome distress, and messy bloody trauma scenes. Alas, for all that good atmosphere it migrates to the same old critter hunt -- even doing a version of "Aliens" air ducts scene, and then leaving us hanging with an ambiguous ending. yeesh..
Super Reviewer
A very low budget horror set in Ireland on a farm. Very much like the Thing but on a much smaller scale. Great for a low budget indie film. Slow to start but the second half of the film is quite creepy.

Pro Football:
Sam Bradford, the first pick in this year's NFL draft, hasn't been slowly nurtured by the St. Louis Rams. Instead, the Rams threw Bradford into the fire on day one—and he's rewarded them by placing the team in playoff contention. If the Rams beat Seattle on Sunday, Bradford will join Atlanta's Matt Ryan and Baltimore's Joe Flacco as the third rookie quarterback in NFL history to start all 16 games and get to the playoffs, according to Stats Inc. The Rams could become the seventh team to make the playoffs while starting a rookie at quarterback for more than 10 games; five of the previous six have come since 2004.
The Seahawks are planning to start Charlie Whitehurst against the Rams. Pete Carroll said the Seahawks will plan on Whitehurst being their starter Sunday night. But he wasn't ready to rule out Matt Hasselbeck after he left Sunday's 38-15 loss to Tampa Bay after running for a 1-yard touchdown in the first quarter. Hasselbeck suffered a strain to his lower back/hip/gluteal area that did not allow him to return.
Hasselbeck underwent an MRI and additional tests Monday morning and the results were positive enough that Carroll remained somewhat optimistic.
"It's something (that) it may be manageable. It may be," Carroll said. "The MRI results were not such where he doesn't have a chance. They were very hopeful that he has an opportunity to get back, but we won't know for days. So it's kind of a difficult situation for us because we don't know and we're not sure what is going to happen until we find out the news probably by Saturday, or it may go all the way to game time."
After Sunday's loss, Hasselbeck said the injury first popped up in Week 3 against San Diego and has been a slight bother a few other times during the season, but nothing like Sunday. Hasselbeck went to the ground after scoring and walked off the field.
If he can't go, Whitehurst would be making his second career start, with Seattle going for its first division title since 2007.
"I want to make sure as we proceed through the week and know what we're doing," Carroll said. "If Matt can play a factor in that, we'll figure it out when the time comes."
Offensive tackle Russell Okung also aggravated a left ankle injury Sunday, but did not miss a play. Carroll did not indicate whether Okung will miss any time. Wide receiver Brandon Stokley also suffered a concussion, but the Seahawks won't know about his availability until later in the week.
Zach Banner, a junior lineman from Lakes High School was named to the first team All USA squad by USA Today.
Donald Gaddy scored 17 points for Bellarmine Prep in its 53-48 loss to Sacred Heart (CA) in the first round of the Slalom Slam tournament at Seattle Prep last night.
The Bellarmine girls, who have been ranked as high as No.2 in the state by the News Tribune and Seattle Times, fell to Gonzaga Prep, 50-43, last night at Jesuit High School in Portland. The Lions cut a 13-point deficit to 45-43 with just two minutes remaining. There is no shot clock in Oregon high-school basketball, so the Lions had little choice but to foul Gonzaga, which was able to hits its free throws down the stretch.

text: I managed to blow up the VGA controller on the main board of my Screen. The composites and TS work fine and so does the backlight. Instead of buying a new screen I'm hoping someone has one that stopped working for a different reason and the controller is still good. If you have one, please let me know how much you want for it. It's a 7" if that makes any difference. Mine is a no name brand but looks exactly like the Tview.

Toronto Blue Jays vs Boston Red Sox 2012 MLB Point Spreads
The Red Sox quest to make up ground in the AL East standings continues tonight as they host Toronto for game two of a three game set at Fenway Park. Tonight's rivalry tilt, which features hurlers Carlos Villanueva and Aaron Cook, is scheduled for a 7:10pm ET start. Boston is drawing -136 moneyline odds and +145 odds as a -1.5 run line play in the latest MLB Point Spreads. Tonight's game total is set at 10 runs.
Toronto entered last night's series opener having lost three straight games to the Yankees in New York. Despite the slide, the Blue Jays easily overcame the Red Sox, pounding Boston 6-1 to improve to 46-47 overall.
Toronto will look to steal the series tonight and bring its record to an even .500 for the season with reliever turned starter Carlos Villanueva toeing the rubber. The Dominican native has been masterful, for the most part, in both roles this year as he brings a 2.68 ERA and 1.33 WHIP to the bump tonight. Villanueva is coming off his second consecutive quality start, a 3-0 Blue Jays win over the Indians. Despite issuing five free passes, Villanueva, who has struck out 57 batters in 50 innings pitched, limited Cleveland to zero earned runs over six innings.
Countering tonight for the Red Sox is veteran right hander Aaron Cook. Cook, who spent the first nine years of his career in a Rockies uniform, turned in seven innings his last time out, but he still failed to get the win over the White Sox as he left with the game in a 1-1 tie. Boston plated four runners in the bottom of the eighth to get the victory, though. Cook is 2-1 with a 3.34 ERA and 1.08 WHIP in five starts this season.
Boston, which at 48-46 remains 9.5 games back of the division leading Yankees, is 5-5 against the Blue Jays this season. The Red Sox are 8-4 in their last 12 meetings with Toronto at Fenway Park.
MLB Point Spreads Betting Trend: The Under is 8-2 in the Blue Jays last 10 games as a road dog in the month of July (Toronto is 3-7 in those games).

Newton Network Newsletter: January 2012
As many of you know, the Newton Newsletter is well established and into our seventh year. We have expanded and continued to develop our website and now we even have a popular presence on Facebook. We communicate to more than 75% of all the teachers, and more than 95% of the high school teachers in Nevada.
However, the funding source supporting us will end this summer. We are presently in search of new funding and have some pretty good prospects. That said, the most important information we can provide to potential funding agencies is YOUR opinion.
Do our brief summaries make it easy for you to get helpful information quickly? Do the links get you to places and things you can use? Does Facebook help you access information? Do our Web 2.0 tools expand and extend your educational practice?
Bottom Line: Does our Newton Network help you - the Educators of Nevada?
This is not a formal survey and we are not asking specific questions of you. Our request to you is that you forward this newsletter back to Michael Leverington (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Robert Newbury (email@example.com) with a simple message such as: "I read the Newton Network Newsletter every month", or "NN helps me find helpful new activities for my classroom", etc. For our own reference and that of potential funders, we would appreciate your brief and honest opinion of how our efforts serve you.
This notice is placed in both the January and February newsletter (but you only need to respond once :). With your feedback and support, we will move forward with seeking funding, and continue to do our best to serve the most important readership in the state: you, Nevada's Educators.

Ernie from Walter writes:
What is the proper procedure for moving items to my folders under OUTLOOK.COM? Since the switch from HOTMAIL I can always move the first item I try. Subsiquent attempte do not work. Clicking on the MOVE TO function do not provide a list of my folders to select from. Things just sit there as if I had not selected the option. I have requested assistance from OUTLOOK but have yet to receive any response.
Answer: Ernie, moving e-mails into folders should be a fairly simple process in Outlook.com. You select the messages you wish to move, click on the drop-down Move to menu and select where you want them to go. Make sure you have each file you want to move selected.
If this isn't working for you, there is one other option. You can drag files into a destination folder. Simply select the file, left-click and hold:
Then drag to the folder of your choice at the left and release the mouse button:
Hopefully this helps.

Re: Finding local maxima in multidimensional array (efficiently)
Dear Carl,
Thanks very much for your solution. I am getting somewhat different
timings than you have. You have lm working about ten times as fast as
localmaxima2, whereas on my machine I have lm about twice as fast as
localmaxima2. It would appear that you're machine is somewhat faster
than mine, but that doesn't explain the difference in the ratios of
the times for the two functions (I get 55 secs for localmaxima2 and 28
secs for lm).
I'm not sure what the reason for this is. My machine is a dual core
intel, and I am on Mathematica v7.
But thank you for the algorithm (apologies for late reply) but this is
an interesting approach, and I might adapt that for some other
problems I have. (My interests are machine vision).
