6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 31 - East Lansing, Mich. - Breslin Center (14,759)
ESPN (Announcers: Joe Tessitore, Sean Farnham)
Notes (from Michigan State sports info):
- Michigan State is in the early stages of a tough stretch of games. Beginning with the home game vs. Ohio State, Michigan State will play seven games against opponents currently ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 (Jan. 28) in a span of 11 games, and nine in the top 28 in the next 12 contests. The Illinois game is just the fourth in a string of 12 games that will see the Spartans play nine games against teams that currently own a .500 or better conference record.
- Over the last six games, Adreian Payne is averaging 13.0 points, shooting 30-of-43 (.698) from the field, including 6-of-7 from 3-point range. A look at the Big Ten stats shows that Payne is one of the premier big men in the Big Ten, ranking fifth in the conference in rebounding (6.9 rpg), second in field-goal percentage (.610) and eighth in blocks (1.1 bpg). He also ranks fourth on the Spartans in scoring at 9.4 points per contest. The main thing limiting Payne's production is foul trouble, as he's played 20 minutes or more in just 11 games. He's recorded three double-doubles this season, each one of them in 22 minutes or less. However, he is averaging 32.7 minutes over the last three games.
- Michigan State is 322-45 (.877) at home all-time since Breslin Center opened in 1989, including 166-34 (.830) in Big Ten play. Under Tom Izzo, the Spartans are 248-30 (.892) at Breslin, including a 125-21 (.856) conference record. MSU has won 29 of the last 30 games at Breslin.
- Given the fact that Branden Dawson had ACL surgery just last March (two days after suffering the injury in the regular-season finale vs. Ohio State), it's remarkable that he has not missed even a single practice this season. Over the last seven games, he seems to have elevated his play to another level, averaging 12.4 points and 8.1 rebounds, including career highs in both scoring (18 points) and rebounding (13 rebounds) at Wisconsin. On the season, he ranks third on the team in scoring (10.6 ppg), third in rebounding (6.7 rpg), and third in minutes played (27.2 mpg).
- In Big Ten games, Gary Harris leads all conference freshmen in scoring, averaging a team-best 13.3 points per contest. He leads the conference in foul shooting in Big Ten games, making 23-of-25 shots (.920) from the charity stripe. Harris also paces Big Ten freshmen in 3-point percentage in conference games at .500 (19-of-38), ranking third among all players.
Starting lineup:
Derrick Nix - C, Sr., 6-9, 270 - 9.0 ppg, 6.8 rpg
Adreian Payne - F, Jr., 6-10, 240 - 9.4 ppg, 6.9 rpg
Brandon Dawson - F, Soph., 6-6, 230 - 10.6 ppg, 6.7 rpg
Gary Harris - G, Fresh., 6-4, 205 - 12.7 ppg, 1.1 apg
Keith Appling - G, Jr., 6-1, 190 - 13.5 ppg, 4.1 apg
Off the bench:
Denzel Valentine - G, Fr., 6-5, 220 - 4.9 ppg, 4.0 rpg
Travis Trice - G, Soph., 6-0, 170 - 5.8 ppg, 2.1 apg
Russell Byrd - G, R-Soph., 6-7, 205 - 2.1 ppg, 0.6 apg
Alex Gauna - F, R-Soph., 6-9, 245 - 1.7 ppg, 1.1 rpg
Matt Costello - F, Fr., 6-9, 245 - 1.5 ppg, 1.1 rpg
Series history:
Series record: Illinois leads 56-55
Series streak: Illinois W1
Record @ East Lansing: Michigan State leads 35-18
Series streak @ East Lansing: Michigan State W5
Last year's meeting: Illinois 42, No. 9 MSU 41 (Jan. 31, 2012 @ Champaign)
Groce vs. Michigan State: First meeting
Fun fact:
Michigan State is 16-7 all-time on Jan. 31, including 12-3 @ home. One of it's losses on this date came last year, a 42-41 loss to Illinois.
Notable quotable:
"They've obviously got great size, and as all his (Coach Tom Izzo) teams have done over the years, they rebound the basketball well. The guys, you can tell they know their role. They have a post presence with (Derrick) Nix and (Adreian) Payne and (Branden) Dawson. The size of the guys even coming off the bench in (Alex) Gauna and (Matt) Gostello, they've got four or five guys there that give them a lot of size. I think that's the thing that certainly stands out, and then just watching Gary Harris play. Certainly really gifted offensively and I know Coach came out this week and talked about what he brings to the table for them defensively for a freshman. Been very impressed with his effort and discipline on that end as well. Then obviously (Keith) Appling is a big part of what they do at both ends of the floor. I think he's really good defensively, a good on-ball defender, makes plays at winning time of the game. I think he's a winner. I've enjoyed watching them on film. (Izzo) has done a great job with his team. Obviously I think they are hitting their stride." -- Illinois coach John Groce

BOTHELL — An elderly man died Tuesday morning after his car struck a utility pole on the 23900 block of 23rd Avenue W near Bothell.
The accident was reported around 8:30 a.m. and the road was closed for about two hours while Snohomish County Sheriff's Office detectives conducted a collision investigation.
The driver, 86, was taken to a local hospital where he died.
Investigators do not have conclusive information about the cause of the accident, sheriff's office spokeswoman Shari Ireton said.
Cause and manner of death, as well as identity of the driver, will be determined by the Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office.

A Loma Linda University transplant recipient spent Thursday in Pasadena decorating a float that he will ride during the 2013 Rose Parade on New Year's Day.
Ernesto Bravo Chavez, 13, of Palm Springs cut flowers for the float alongside his 18-year-old brother, Arturo, and his parents, Rosario and Arturo Sr.
The float is for Donate Life, a national organization committed to increasing organ, eye and tissue donation, according to its website.
Ernesto started becoming frequently sick when he was 3 years old.
"My parents tell me it was like I had a cold," said Ernesto in a statement from Donate Life.
"My parents took me to the ER many times, but the doctor would always tell them it was the flu."
He eventually became very ill and ended up at Loma Linda University Children's Hospital, where it was determined that his kidneys had failed.
He started dialysis and was eventually listed for a kidney transplant.
After 15 months of dialysis and complications due to severe asthma, Ernesto received a kidney transplant from Iraq War veteran Gabriel Barajas.
Barajas was struck by a car while changing a flat tire on his way home from work.
"My donor, Gabriel Barajas, is a hero to me," said Ernesto. "He gave me a second chance to live."
The Barajas and Chavez families remain close. Ernesto will be riding next to the "floragraph" of his donor, Gabriel.
"I consider Ernesto a brother, and his family are like a second family to me," said Gabriel's brother, Rodolfo Barajas, who helped Ernesto decorate the float.
Ernesto, who was 5 when he received the transplant, will be one of 32 transplant recipients riding on the Rose Parade float.
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be on a float," said Ernesto. "It's life changing."
Leilah Dowsari, 26, of Loma Linda, also a former organ transplant patient at Loma Linda University Medical Center, will be riding on the float too. In January 1986, she became the first female newborn to receive a heart transplant.
More than 100,000 patients are in need of a transplant, according to Donate Life. Organ donations may occur with a deceased donor, who can give kidneys, pancreas, liver, lungs, heart, intestinal organs, or a living donor, who can give a kidney or a portion of the liver, lung, intestine or pancreas.
"Everybody should be donating their organs," said Ernesto's transplant surgeon, Dr. Pedro Baron. "Many people die waiting for organs.... They die for no reason."

Mary Fran Ernst Retires from the Pathology Department after 40 years.
After 40 years of service to Saint Louis University, Mary Fran Ernst, associate professor of pathology and director of medicolegal education, is retiring.
Ernst helped put SLU's department of pathology on the national and world map as a leader in forensic pathology education. She has trained more than 14,000 people world-wide in death investigation techniques and has made a permanent impression on the field.
|Mary Fran Ernst (right) with Mary Case, M.D., at her retirement party on Dec. 20.
"Mary Fran truly lives the mission of our University. She is overwhelmingly energetic, outgoing, industrious, hard-working and enthusiastic. She is dearly loved and highly respected by her fellow faculty, co-workers, students and everyone she encounters," said Mary Case, M.D., professor of pathology and co-director of the division of forensic and environmental pathology.
Ernst is retiring to focus on her newest professional venture as president of the Society of Medicolegal Death Investigators, a national organization devoted to educating and training death investigators.
Ernst first came to the University in 1965 as an assistant in the clinical laboratory department. Under the mentorship of George Gantner, M.D., who was director of the program and later became the chief medical examiner for St. Louis County, Ernst earned her bachelor's degree and took on more responsibilities within the the new division of forensic pathology. In 1975, she also became a medicolegal death investigator in the St. Louis County Medical Examiner's Office.
|The pathology department celebrates Mary Fran Ernst's retirement.
In 1977, at a time when there was no professional death investigation training available in the country, Ernst recognized the growing need for training and, at the urging of Gantner, developed the Medicolegal Death Investigators Training Course (MLDIC) at Saint Louis University.
"Eighteen people paid $250 to attend the first MLDIC course in October 1978. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive and we realized there was a real need for this type of training, so we decided to offer the course three times per year. This past August we held our 100th MLDIC course and more than 150 people attended," said Ernst, who has continuously served as course coordinator and co-director.
In addition to the MLDIC course, Ernst developed and coordinated the MASTERS Conferences in Death Investigation, also offered at SLU. The biannual course is one of the most highly regarded forensic science courses in the field, with as many as 400 people attending each course.
At the national level, Ernst has been particularly involved in the development of the death investigation field, which she describes as a four-step process. The first step was defining the role of a death investigator. The second step is teaching. Ernst helped write the first text book ever written on death investigation, which was later used to develop the national guidelines for death investigators. The third step was to establish a professional certification process to ensure excellence among practitioners. The fourth and final step was to create a professional organization. This past March, Ernst launched the Society of Medicolegal Death Investigators.
"Mary Fran is a fantastic mentor. She cares very deeply about death investigation and has worked tirelessly to improve it. She has always said that we write the last chapter in a decedent's life so we have to get it right," said Julie Howe, an assistant in the department of pathology and coordinator of the Medicolegal Death Investigators Course and Masters Conferences.
Ernst says she stayed at Saint Louis University for 40 years because of the wonderful opportunities she found here and the people she met along the way.
"My mentor, Dr. Gantner was a fabulous boss. Once you find someone that smart and exciting, you don't leave. As a single mother working on my bachelor's degree, Dr. Gantner and the University were so good to me and provided me with wonderful opportunities," Ernst said.
According to Case, Ernst has been a loyal and faithful SLU faculty member. She has worked on a number of University committees and is a past president of the Women's Commission. In 2002 she was honored as Faculty Woman of the Year.
Ernst will officially retire on Dec. 31. In addition to work with the Society of Medicolegal Death Investigators, she will continue to work part-time in the St. Louis County Medical Examiner's Office as a medicolegal death investigator.

I heard a rumor that you and Channing Tatum were trying to make a film version of Guys and Dolls together.
The three central performances—Carell, Mark Ruffalo, and Channing Tatum—are so tight.
Jimmy Kimmel Live aired a hilarious music video starring Channing Tatum, Jamie Foxx, Kimmel, and more.
Channing is directing Magic Mike 2, and you did do that Magic Mike striptease routine on SNL.
His performance in those scenes actually reminded me a lot of Channing Tatum in Magic Mike.
Channing's philanthropy was a legitimate outcome of his view of religion.
May's appeal had only quickened a little the sure work of Channing's conscience.
The teacher is advised carefully to peruse Channing's Students' History, ch.
Channing had pleaded for it as eloquently as he pleaded for freedom.
Gannett was but twenty-four years old, and had been but one year in the active ministry, as the colleague of Dr. Channing.

Enjoy the journey, Coach Ray Tanner tells graduates
The graduates receiving their degrees Monday (Dec. 13) from the University of South Carolina may feel like they have reached a destination. But commencement speaker Ray Tanner, coach of USC's national championship baseball team, urged them to look at the day as a fresh start.
"Whatever direction you go, enjoy the journey," Tanner said. "It's OK to set new goals, focus on them and see them through, but as you roll up your sleeves and go to work, do so with your head on a swivel. As a young professional, I put my head down and plowed forward only to learn later that the beauty of life is appreciation of the journey. I encourage you to live your life as a journey, rather than a series of destinations."
The December commencement ceremonies at the Colonial Life Arena celebrated the accomplishments of more than 2,500 degree candidates from Columbia and the seven regional campuses. Former Columbia Mayor Bob Coble, who earned undergraduate and law degrees at Carolina and who served two decades as mayor of South Carolina's capital city, was awarded an honorary doctorate of laws. Norman J. Arnold, a Columbia businessman, philanthropist and public health advocate, received an honorary doctorate of humane letters.
Tanner, whose team brought home the university's first national championship in a men's team sport, spoke of the importance of understanding the need to accept and learn from failure. He drew upon the words of the late Jim Valvano, the basketball coach and athletic director at North Carolina State University, who hired Tanner to be the head baseball coach when he was just 27 years old. When Valvano, who was stricken with cancer, received the Arthur Ashe Courage and Humanitarian Award, he encouraged everyone to laugh, to think and to cry each day.
"I must confess that I don't have a quick trigger on crying, although I might have cried if Jackie Bradley had struck out in the 11th inning against Oklahoma in Game 3," he said. "There were tears of joy after Scott Wingo touched home plate against UCLA in the final game."

This is definitely talk from an alternate universe.
Trankov and Yuz
This is definitely talk from an alternate universe.
Here's a photo of Maxim and Stephane doing a death spiral I haven't seen any videos that I can recall, but I'll keep my eyes peeled
Poor Maxim, seems like he's struggling with his partner, lol!
Isn't there a requirement that for a death spiral to be ratified, the lady's (or in this case, Stephane's) head must not be higher than her knee or something? Also, the pivot position is quite not there yet.
Needs more practice - I hope they document the process!
And Ryuichi is just 1m75, while Yuzuru is 1m71. And Trankov is 1m87 16cm gap is more than enough for a great pair!
Trankov and Yuzuru would make a 5A, considering that Yuzuru is just 53kg.

Ok I'm guessing your having trouble with the fakeauth.
Is this even your network?
Is there a MAC filter?

Try a different attack method

Why the U.S. Army Is Stuck in the 19th Century
Listen to NRA News Radio on iHeartRadio
A few commentators have already raised the obvious issues: that the USAF already provides essential enablers to the Army and Navy, rather than being obsessed with bombers and independent airpower; that neither the Army nor the Navy would be well suited to take over things like space launch and operations, or airlift; and that not much money would actually be saved without eliminating entire missions.
But Farley's book makes a bigger argument: that the case for an independent air force is based on the false assertion that airpower can win wars on its own. In doing so, the book exemplifies a toxic, and irrational skepticism towards airpower, and only airpower, which pervades some military thinking.
The founding philosophers of independent airpower—Britain's Lord Trenchard, America's Billy Mitchell and Italy's Giulio Douhet—shared a gut-level desire to avoid a repeat of World War 1. Their heirs, World War 2's bomber generals, promised to defeat Germany and Japan from the air, almost unaided. This did not happen. So what? At best, it is a classic strawman argument to challenge 90-year-old claims that nobody asserts today.
But let's dig a little deeper. Farley's criterion for "winning" is whether airpower succeeds at "disarming the enemy"—a goal borrowed, with full and frequent credit, from the early 19th-century Prussian philosopher of war Carl von Clausewitz.

"Metallica Brings Lawsuit"; "Metallica Alleges Theft"; "Metallica Demands Napster Site Shutdown". What is Metallica's problem? As you probably know, Metallica is a rock band and they are upset at a Web site by the name of Napster. What is it exactly, that Napster does? Well, if you have downloaded any music from the Internet lately, you utilized a musical file format called MP3. Napster acts as a "digital matchmaker" between people who trade MP3 songs. If you wanted a Metallica song, all you need is a computer, the MP3 program, and Internet access. You log on to the Napster site, download Napster's file sharing software, and in a few minutes, you will have an MP3 version of the Metallica song.
Again, you might ask yourself why Metallica is so fired up about MP3 file sharing. Let's think for a moment about what it is that Metallica does as a band. First, they write music, second they perform music, and third, they record music. As a band, Metallica makes a living writing, performing, and recording music. People purchase tickets to attend Metallica concerts and they purchase CD's and cassette of Metallica recordings. Did you know that Metallica receives a portion of the purchase price of each tape and CD sold? That portion that the members of the band receive is called a royalty payment. Metallica earns a living from the royalty their receive from the sale of each and every CD and cassette.

Activity 2
There is an extremely important principal underlying the battle between Metallica and Napster, that principal is private property. Just think about your own private property - the stuff that belongs to you. The question is - what kind of control do you have over your own stuff, your property? Most people would agree that property, the stuff that belongs to you, gives you the owner specific rights. We can categorize your rights into four requirements, the right to 1) possess, 2) control, 3) exchange, and 4) protect your property.
Property that meets these four requirements is said to be "well defined". You might be thinking that these characteristics sound obvious. You might even be thinking that these characteristics apply to everything and everyone. The truth of the matter is that not all stuff qualifies as private property. For example, who owns the air you breathe or the road that runs in front of your house or apartment; what about the clothes on your back or the CD player in your pocket? In order for you to have full right to your property it must have the four requirements we discussed above. Private property that is "well defined" is really "well protected", giving you the right to possess, control, exchange, and protect your stuff as you see fit. Test your understanding of property rights by completing the chart below. You will compare the property rights of two items, a car and air and then decide if the property right, for each item is well defined or not.
|Items to be compared
|Make a comparison
Record yes, no, or sometimes
|How are they similar?
How are they different?
|1) Is possession of the item possible and legal?(can you possess the item?)
[no, possibly sometimes]
Differences: [it is easy to determine ownership of a car, ownership of air is possible only within a building or room, you have the right to a non-smoking environment]
|2) Is control of the item exclusive to the owner? (can someone else claim ownership without your say so?)
[yes, unless activity is illegal]
Similarities: [both can be used illegally]
Differences: [it is easier to control the use of your car than air]
|3) Can you exchange the property right for this item? (can you sell it or give it away?)
Differences: [you can sell a car, it hard to sell air]
|4) Are the rights to this item protected from illegal use or theft? (is there a law and is it enforced?)
Similarities: [if the air is confined it can come under certain laws, the right to own a car is well protected]
Differences: [if the air is not confined, it is not protected, cars are well protected]
What did you determine? Is the property right to a car the same as the property right to air? [no, the property rights of owning a car are well defined, property rights to air is totally different story and is limited to air confined to a building or room]
So, what does this discussion of well-defined property rights have to do with the battle between Metallica and Napster? The battle is really over the property rights of music. Who owns the right to Metallica's music? Did you know that it is illegal to copy and distribute someone else's work in a way that does not pay them for their work? Did you also know that it is okay for you to purchase a CD or tape and they convert it to a digital format? So, it is legal to make a copy for yourself but not for your friends. Read this article to find out more about the Metallica lawsuit.
The chart below asks you to compare the traditional musical formats of CDs and tapes with the new digital MP3 format. Complete the chart below and answer the questions that follow.
Online Mayhem I - Metallica VS Napster is designed as a way for you to explore the controversy of online music distribution. Technology and innovation often challenge the rules of property rights and the opening of the Napster Web site is no exception. So, how much did you learn as a result of this experience? Take the following quiz to test your knowledge.
- What is an MP3? [a digital music file with near CD quality]
- How do people exchange MP3 files? [over the Internet, on computers, or MP3 devices]
- What service does Napster offer? [MP3 file sharing]
- Why is Metallica suing Napster? [illegal distribution of music]
- What rights do you have when you own property? [the right to possess, control, exchange, and protect your property]

Simple, Intuitive operation:
All it takes is a simple squeeze of the button to give you instant full power illumination at any time. To dim the light once it is turned on, simply press and hold the button to dim the light to the desired level.
Pressing and holding the button when the light is already off will turn it on at the lowest level and allow you to gradually increase the brightness to give you just the amount of light you need to accomplish your task without disturbing your night vision or disrupting those around you.
When needed, the four safety strobe functions (fast, medium, slow, & SOS) can be accessed by continuing to hold the button down. Once the light has dimmed or brightened fully, it will proceed to cycle through the various strobe functions. Simply release the button when you reach the desired beacon mode.
An additional "signaling" mode can be accessed by tapping the button several times in rapid succession. When in the signaling mode, the Freedom Micro will behave like the squeeze-only Photon I, with the light turning on only while the button is pressed and off when it is released. To exit the signaling mode and return the light to normal operation, simply press and hold the button for several seconds until the light turns off.
The new Photon Freedom Micro is truly the easiest-to-use, most powerful, full-featured micro light available.

Apple has finally unwrapped the latest iteration of the iPad Mini (which, for the sake of argument, we're calling the iPad Mini 2) – and yes, it has a long-rumoured and much-craved Retina Display.
A 7.9in 2048x1536 Retina Display, to be more precise. That places the iPad Mini 2 in the same league as the Google Nexus 7 and Amazon Kindle Fire HDX, with a 326ppi count.
But what else is new?
Faster on the inside
The iPad Mini 2 has had a substantial spec boost over its predecessor, packing the blistering fast 64-bit A7 processor and M7 motion co-processor found in the iPhone 5s. The A7, Apple claims, will deliver 4x faster performance and 8x faster graphics than the previous iPad Mini.
The iPad Mini 2 packs a 5MP iSight camera with f/2.4 aperture that'll shoot 1080p HD video, while around the front there's a 1.2MP FaceTime HD camera that's capable of 720p HD video.
The iPad Mini 2 also crams in 802.11n Wi-Fi with MIMO for up to 300Mbps speeds – plus LTE and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity. Although the battery is smaller, Apple claimes that the iPad Mini 2 will deliver the same 10-hour battery life as the previous iPad Mini – something we'll be checking on closely in our full review.
Either way the Retina Display and faster silicon is more than welcome, and if the iPad Mini 2 sounds like the shrunken tablet you've been searching for, it can be yours starting at US$399 for the 16GB, Wi-Fi only version. 32GB, 64GB and 128GB versions are available for US$499, US$599 and US$699 respectively. The LTE model will set you back US$529 for the 16GB version, while 32GB, 64GB and 128GB models will cost US$629, US$729 and US$829. The original iPad Mini now costs US$299.
We'll be getting hands-on with both the iPad Mini 2 and its big brother, the iPad Air – so stay tuned for our first impressions.

MINNEAPOLIS – Perkins+Will, a global leader in sustainable architecture and design, recently released updated comments regarding the proposed third certified wood credit benchmark issued by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
The Perkins+Will "FSC Equal + Better" stance establishes performance indicators the firm considers equivalent to the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) criteria, and they have added options for carbon accounting, tightening the criteria on ecologically warranted clear cuts and addressing non-forest ecosystem conversions.
Through its "FSC Equal + Better" stance, Perkins+Will provides detailed comments on the USGBC's benchmark that threatens to reverse important forest stewardship advancements made globally by FSC over the past 17 years. Specifically, it proposes several key changes and solutions to the USGBC benchmark in the following areas:
"We developed 'FSC Equal + Better' to promote regenerative forestry practices and encourage the market to move forward, while providing possible solutions for the USGBC," says Doug Pierce, a senior associate, AIA, LEED AP, and author of the firm's stance and specific comments. "As a firm, we're looking beyond sustainability at regenerative design. To make that a reality our architects and designers need products that truly meet the triple bottom line of ecological integrity, economic vitality and social balance. This isn't about labels or brands, it's about real, on-the-ground performance, and going backwards is simply not an option."
Perkins+Will's "FSC Equal + Better" also outlines the need for provisions that go beyond any current wood standard label to ensure the promotion of regenerative forestry. This includes calculating net carbon uptake in forest management, restoring lost old-growth forests, limiting the conversion of any natural eco-system to forest or other non-forest uses, converting plantation back to natural forest after harvest and limiting ecological warranted clear cuts to 20 acres without scientific rationale.
With more than 1,000 LEED Accredited Professionals, Perkins+Will is dedicated to promoting sustainable design and educating the industry about green building and its importance. To read the Perkins+Will stance on the USGBC benchmark and its "FSC Equal + Better" visit www.perkinswill.com/fsc.aspx.

BALTIMORE - Loyola University Maryland held the Air Force Academy scoreless for over 31 minutes, and the Greyhounds used a 10-0 run to down the Falcons, 15-8, on Saturday afternoon in ECAC Lacrosse League action at Ridley Athletic Complex.
Air Force (3-4 overall, 0-1 ECAC) took a 7-4 lead with 2:42 left in the first half when Tommy McKee fed a pass over the goal to Ryland De Pol who pushed a shot past Loyola goalkeeper Jack Runkel. The goal capped a 4-0 Air Force run over 6-plus minutes.
The goal was the last, however, Air Force would over the next 31 minutes, 17 seconds.
"We were a good team today for the last 30 minutes," Head Coach Charley Toomey said. "We did not execute the basics in the first half, but we regrouped and did a much better job in the second."
Coming out of the locker room, Loyola immediately made a dent in the Falcons' three-goal advantage. J.P. Dalton pushed out the face-off to Josh Hawkins, and Hawkins fed Scott Ratliff on the top right of the box. Ratliff got a pass to a crashing Dalton who finished with a goal just 16 seconds into the third quarter.
Loyola would take more time, over seven minutes, to score its next goal, but it would again come in an unsettled situation involving Hawkins and Ratliff.
Pat Laconi caused an Air Force turnover in the Falcons' offensive end, and Hawkins came away with the ground ball. He executed a one-man clear and found Ratliff. The long-stick midfielder dodged past an Air Force defender and put a low shot past Air Force's Austin Fox with 7:37 left in the third.
The Greyhounds nearly scored right off the next face-off, but Fox made a save on a hard Kevin Moriarity shot. Air Force cleared the ball, but a turnover gave the ball back to Loyola.
Justin Ward started from `X', curled around the left side of the goal, fended off a defender and scored with 6:20 on the clock to tie the game at 7-7.
Loyola pushed ahead for the first time since it led 4-3 with 9:44 to go in the second quarter with a three minutes before the end of the third stanza.
Pat Byrnes dodged hard from midfield, drew a slide and passed to Phil Dobson who was at the top of the left alley. Dobson uncorked a shot, putting Loyola ahead, 8-7.
The Greyhounds would score two more goals, in succession, when midfielders started their run from midfield. Davis Butts, who had a career-high four assists, started at the midfield and slipped a pass to Eric Lusby on the right-side doorstep. Lusby scored 1:15 into the fourth quarter to make it 9-7.
Byrnes would use the hard dodge from midfield for Loyola's next goal, crashing down the middle, faking a pass, taking a step back and slinging his own shot past Fox.
Mike Sawyer scored his second goal of the game when he dodged and redodged, shooting from 10 yards on the left side to put the Greyhounds up four with 10:18 to play.
Byrnes then got his second assist of the game at 8:25 when he ran left-to-right, reversed a pass to Sean O'Sullivan who scored his second of the game from nine yards out.
Chris Layne scored his second at 6:40 when Lusby picked up a ground ball off a wide Greyhounds' shot, fed Layne who took three steps and scored. Sawyer then tacked on his game-high third goal on the Greyhounds' only extra-man opportunity, taking a Lusby pass and scoring with 5:10 to play.
Air Force finally broke the 10-0 run when Kyle Cassady scored off a Keith Dreyer assist with 1:25 left in the game.
Dalton was critical for the Greyhounds in the comeback, winning 18-of-26 face-offs, 10-of-13 in the second half. He also had five ground balls.
Loyola picked up 45 ground balls to the Falcons' 29, as Ratliff and Reid Acton each had seven. The Greyhounds also outshot Air Force, 51-29. Jack Runkel made nine saves in goal for the Greyhounds.
The Greyhounds are back in action with their only midweek game of the season, Wednesday, March 21, when they host Georgetown University at 7 p.m.

FONTANA - Some doctors testified Jon Christopher Blaylock believes he's a member of Dutch royalty and that prison guards are out to kill him.
Others said he's an inmate who has learned to manipulate the system, faking medical issues and causing court delays.
Jurors decided Wednesday the latter explanation was closer to the truth.
Blaylock was deemed mentally competent Wednesday and criminal proceedings were reinstated against him. He will stand trial for the Jan. 10, 2005 murder of Manuel Gonzalez, a correctional officer at California Institution for Men in Chino.
The trial resumes Jan. 11.
"Even on his best days, he can't get off his delusions about correctional officers," said Mario Martinez, one of Blaylock's two attorneys.
Gonzalez, 44, of Whittier had allowed Blaylock out of his cell in an attempt to quell racial tensions inside the prison just before he was stabbed.
Blaylock is charged with fatally stabbing Gonzalez four times. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
The case has faced numerous delays through the years, in part because prosecutors improperly obtained Blaylock's confidential psychological records. Much of the San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office was recused from the case as a result.
Despite a ruling by Superior Court Judge Ingrid Uhler in 2007 that there was enough evidence to hold Blaylock over for trial, proceedings didn't begin until October.
And in order for Blaylock to be found mentally competent enough to stand trial, jurors had to decide whether Blaylock understands the proceedings, can assist his defense attorneys in the case and grasps the consequences of the charges, among other issues.
Martinez described Blaylock as a man whose delusions about correctional officers would hinder his ability to help in his own defense.
"You're talking about someone who for the last 26 years has spent less than a year outside of prison," he said.
Martinez acknowledged that Blaylock's mental issues - which include delusional disorder and anti-social personality disorder - wax and wane, giving him periods of lucidity. He also said that medications have helped his conditions.
"But it doesn't cure the delusions. They're still there," Martinez said.
Deputy District Attorney Carolyn Youngberg argued that Blaylock was competent enough to stand trial because he understands the charges he's facing, he knows the attorneys on both sides, and is aware that he could receive the death penalty.
Youngberg said the doctors hired by the defense provided testimony that backs up arguments made by Blaylock's attorneys - but that came with a high price tag.
One doctor, Youngberg said, earned more than $12,000 for his testimony, and the doctor only spent 45 minutes with the defendant.
"Be critical of expert testimony," she said.
Blaylock has not testified in his defense.
Youngberg said he provided statements made by Blaylock to doctors that show he's able to make rational statements.
While describing his reaction to several medications, Blaylock said, "I don't have anger flashes. I don't have depression or anxieties. I have good judgment and reasoning skills."
She says that Blaylock is able to have a normal conversation when he wants to.
"He has shown that when he doesn't get his way, he will manipulate people and the system," she said.

GSA Releases FY 2006 Federal Real Property Report
This content is kept online for historical reference and is no longer updated. Links may be broken and content may be inaccurate and/or out of date.
July 23, 2007
Contact: Jennifer Millikin (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC – The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Real Property Report, an annual study that has helped the federal government identify and shed billions worth of unneeded assets, has been updated and is now available, GSA announced Monday.
The FY 2006 Federal Real Property Report provides an overview of the federal government's owned and leased real property as of September 30, 2006. The reported data is pulled from the Federal Real Property Profile (FRPP) inventory system, a centralized, comprehensive, and descriptive database of the government's real property portfolio, developed and managed by GSA.
"Making sure our federal buildings and property are being used in the best way possible is just good government management," said Kevin Messner, Acting Associate Administrator in GSA's Office of Governmentwide Policy. "This report is instrumental in helping agencies tailor their real property inventories to their needs and has already led to the disposition of more than $4.5 billion dollars worth of unneeded assets in less than three years."
The FY 2006 report marks the second reporting year for the governmentwide data elements as required by Executive Order (EO) 13327, "Federal Real Property Asset Management." Issued on February 4, 2004, EO 13327 established the Federal Real Property Council to oversee the federal government's asset management planning process and to improve government real property performance. All executive branch agencies are required to submit constructed asset-level data to the FRPP on an annual basis.
The report is posted on the GSA website at gsa.gov/realpropertyprofile. Hard copies are available by contacting Dennis Goldstein, Director, Asset Management Division at 202-219-0608 or email@example.com.
Further information on the FY 2006 Federal Real Property Report can be found in FMR-Bulletin 2007-B5 at gsa.gov/federalmanagementregulation.
Founded in 1949, GSA serves as a centralized procurement and property management agency for the Federal government. GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,300 government-owned or leased buildings and 170,000 vehicles. GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, acting as a steward of more than 420 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services. GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and e-travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.
Did You Know? When President Truman signed legislation creating GSA, for the first time, all responsibility for property management was given to one agency

Hundreds of Fish Fouind Dead in Strawberry Reservoir
Officials at the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources are blaming low water levels -- and high temperatures -- for the deaths of an estimated 600 fish, in Strawberry Reservoir, outside Heber City.
And the DWR fears more fish kills could occur in other popular Utah waterways.
State biologists say the lower water levels killg vegetation in Utah lakes, while the high temperatures reduce oxygen levels in the water.
They say that's a deadly combination for fish.

TOKYO -- Japan's Kagome Co. is selling fresh tomatoes to joggers through vending machines as a replenishing on-the-spot alternative to sports drinks and energy bars.
The Japanese beverage and tomato product manufacturer installed the machine at a support facility for runners in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward. It will remain onsite until Feb. 23, when the Tokyo Marathon will be held.
The machine's graphics promote the high nutritional value of tomatoes, which vend in two sizes for 300 yen or 400 yen ($2.90 or $3.80) apiece. They are reportedly restocked every other day.
Kagome, a sponsor of the Tokyo Marathon since last year, has been encouraging tomato consumption through sports. The company said it plans to distribute 72,000 tomatoes to 36,000 runners, twice as many as last year.

text: Eric, I need a function to return the distance along a spline, given a 3d point. So kind of the opposite of GetPoint3D. Without a better idea (i.e. the reason for this post), I plan to do something like this: 1) check to see if the input 3d point is in the splines points3. I'll do this with a for loop, using Vector3.Distance to see if they are close within some tolerance. 2) if this returns a point, I'll infer a distance by dividing the returned point's position in the points3 array by the total number of points in points3. Just wonder what you think. Is there something for this already. If not, is my logic reasonable or is there a better way? Thanks!

How Might You Be Affected by the Partial Federal Shutdown?
With the federal government in a partial shutdown, there are some things that may affect you and many others that may not. Here is a partial rundown:
U.S. Mail delivery continues.
The U.S. Military and law enforcement continue to operate.
Social Security checks continue to be paid, but there will be no customer service, meaning Social Security offices will be closed.
Federal housing and student loan applications will be accepted, but could be delayed for lack of personnel to process them.
National parks will be closing.
You can make a payment to the IRS, but you won't be able to get customer service. Walk-in centers, like the one in West Palm Beach, will be closed, along with phone hotlines. The Internal Revenue Service will also not conduct any audits during the shutdown.
Wildlife refuges will be closed, including Loxahatchee Wildlife Refuge.
Veterans' benefits will be delivered, but claims processing and other administration will be disrupted.
The Federal Courthouse in West Palm Beach will be open for two weeks, at which time officials will reassess the situation.
The National Hurricane Center remains open and they continue to monitor systems, including one to our South, which has a chance for development.
Air travel is not expected to be delayed, because air traffic controllers and airport screeners are not subject to furloughs.
We had reported on-air that gun permits would not be issued, but have gotten clarification from the Florida Dept. of Law Enforcement, which conducts background checks on Florida gun buyers. You can purchase a gun in Florida today. Here is the word from Steve Arthur, Communications Coordinator for FDLE:
The federal systems we use to verify that individuals are not disqualified for the purchase of a gun through a licensed gun dealer are operational, and will not be impacted by the current federal government shutdown.
In rare circumstances, approval could be delayed if a background check determines that further research involving federal information is required by FDLE. Approximately 95% of checks on firearm purchasers go through within an average of four minutes.

Author Chandler's Book Reviews
Farewell, My Lovely
A big bruiser known as Moose Malloy has gotten out of prison after serving 8 years for a bank robbery. He's looking for his girl, a redheaded singer named Velma. LA private investigator Philip Marlowe is on the premises at a club that caters only to blacks when Moose busts in and shoots the manager. Soon after, Marlowe gets hired as a temporary bodyguard by poofy Lindsay Marriott, who is ransoming a fine jade necklace for a friend after it was stolen dur...
I just read Playback for the first time this month, having read & re-read other Chandler novels & short stories for years. I liked it much better than I expected. It's rather short, as if he was never able to work up much interest. It seems to have too much sex. The trouble with the short stories is that (no doubt because the pulps required it) every time the narrator goes through a door, there's bound to be either a corpse or somebody with a gun on ...
The Big Sleep
It's Los Angeles in the 1930s. Someone has been blackmailing ailing oil magnate General Sternwood, so he calls in 33-year-old private investigator Philip Marlowe to find out who it is and how serious a matter it might be. In short order, Marlowe meets the General's daughters -- wild teenager Carmen, and inveterate gambler Mrs. Regan, whose husband has gone missing for several weeks -- both beautiful and both trouble. Soon, the Sternwood's young chauffeur...
The Lady in the Lake
Private detective Philip Marlowe uncovers a twisted plot when he's hired to find the missing wife of a Los Angeles businessman. The wife is Crystal Kingsley, and her husband hadn't heard from her in two weeks, when he received a wire from her stating that she wants a divorce. Marlowe tracks down her boyfriend, Chris Lavery, who says he hasn't seen her either. While he's at Lavery's, some police officers confront Marlowe, accusing him of bothering Lavery'...

The Little Sister
Little Sister is one of the lesser known Philip Marlowe novels. A young mousey woman from Kansas hires Marlowe to find her brother who has gone missing. In the process of searching, Marlowe discovers a blackmail racket, finds that the brother has been killed and runs into a fake Mexican actress with more than sex on her mind....
The Long Goodbye
A private eye searches through various strata of LA culture for his friend, Terry Lennox, who seems to have disappeared. A major subplot involves an alcoholic novelist with writer's block. You can read this book for the language and the social observation; one of Chandler's recurring themes is the corruption just below the surface of nearly everything. ...

Cree has introduced XLamp XB-D color LEDs and XLamp XM-L multi-color LEDs. The color LEDs provide lighting manufacturers with discrete and multi-color LED options to address a wider spectrum of applications such as architectural, vehicle and display lighting.
Cree XLamp XB-D color LEDs extend the double lumens-per-dollar performance of the XB package to color LEDs, delivering up to 40% higher maximum light output than XP-E color LEDs, the vendor said. The combination of performance and the small size of XB-D color LEDs enable better color mixing and lower system cost through fewer LEDs.
The XM-L color LED is 60% smaller than the MC-E LED, reducing the distance between LED die, to create a small optical source for excellent optical control, efficient color mixing and simplified design.
XLamp XB-D color LEDs deliver up to 1416MW for royal blue, 92 lumens for blue, 198 lumens for green, 210 lumens for red and 261 lumens for red-orange. XLamp XM-L color LEDs deliver up to 89 lumens for royal blue, 214 lumens for green, 229 lumens for red and 272 lumens for white.

SHERMAN, TX -- Douglass Distributing Retail Co. has partnered with Vendgogh LLC to pilot gas island vending machines at its Lone Star Food Store in Sherman, TX. The installation, completed late last month, is the first of its kind in Texas.
Vendgogh's vending system integrates seamlessly with Lone Star Food Store's Gilbarco Passport point-of-sale system to enable customers to purchase gas and cold drinks with cash, credit, debit or contactless payments at the gas island.
"We want to surprise and delight all of our customers," said Bill Douglass, chief executive of Douglass Distributing. To further this mission, the Lone Star store has also invested in new pump technology that incorporates Applause TV, an advertising, news and entertainment system that will complement the at-the-pump vending services.
Vendgogh reiterated that research has shown that more fuel customers are paying at the pump and a large percentage of them do not go into the store.

Report: U.S. moves toward arming Syrian rebels
(Washington, DC) -- The U.S. is reportedly moving toward sending lethal weapons to Syrian opposition groups. The "Washington Post" reports the preparation comes as U.S. intelligence officials try to confirm strong suspicions that chemical weapons have been used in Syria. President Obama has repeatedly warned the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad that the use of chemical weapons would have severe consequences. Some congressional Republicans have been pushing the White House to arm trusted rebel groups in Syria. There are concerns that some members of the Syrian opposition have ties to al-Qaeda.

(TMZ) - Da Brat arrived to Chris Kelly's funeral, wearing her pants on backwards as a tribute to the Kris Kross rapper, TMZ reports.
Da Brat and Kris Kross were each members of Jermaine Dupri's record label.
According to TMZ, several mourners turned their trousers around in tribute to the late rapper, who died of a presumed drug overdose at the age of 34. His funeral is under way at a church in Atlanta.
Da Brat wasn't the only notable attendee with backwards bloomers. Jermaine Dupri, who discovered Kris Kross, reportedly also sported inverted slacks.

text: One of the better things to do with your old wedding dress is to donate it to someone who is less fortunate and does not have the means to buy their own dress. Yesterday Brandi Glanville announced that she had given away the wedding dress she wore when she married Eddie Cibrian to a group that gives them to women who are about to become military wives. In this case it is going to a future Army wife. If you think about how much Brandi's dress cost and that she will never use it again, it makes sense to donate it to someone who will use it and then maybe pass it along again. Plus, do you want a reminder of your ex in the closet everytime you open it?

Wiz Khalifa Concert Canceled
Listen to Wiz Khalifa Radio on iHeartRadio
Wiz Khalifa is feeling the fallout from the recent headlines surrounding his "Under the Influence of Music" tour. Michigan State University has canceled Wiz's September 13th concert after a "review of recent events and assessment of campus concerns."
Last week, one person was shot and killed backstage at a tour stop in Mountain View, California. Several days later tour member Jeezy was arrested when an assault rifle was found on his tour bus.
According to TMZ.com, he and five members of his entourage were charged with felony gun possession. Jeezy remains behind bars on $1 million bond.
Wiz Khalifa's latest album, Blacc Hollywood, is currently at the top of the charts. In its first week in stores, that album sold 90,000 copies, landing him at number one on the Billboard 200 list. It's his first time at the top of the chart.

AUDIO: Gov. Hickenlooper Delivers State of the State Address
Governor John Hickenlooper delivered his fourth State of the State address on Thursday, November 9. The governor stressed that through the tragedies Colorado faced in 2013, including forest fires, flooding and the Arapahoe High School shooting, "we showed the world Colorado does not shut down, Colorado does not quit, Colorado does not break."
The governor confidently stated "the state of the state is stong."
"According to just about every forecast, trend and study, the state of the state of Colorado is only growing stronger," said Hickenlooper. He pointed to statistics that stated that Colorado's unemployment rate has gone down to the lowest levels since 2008.
While Colorado Democrats lauded the speech, others felt it was lacking.
"I felt like I was in 'Men in Black' and he that he put the device in front out our face so we would forget everything that happened last year," Former House Speaker Frank McNulty, (R-Highlands Ranch), said to the Denver Post.
This is the fourth State of the State address for Hickenlooper. The Democratic governor is up for re-election this year. Challengers for his seat include Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler, who Hickenlooper referred to as "honey badger," in his speech.
Hickenlooper started his speech by thanking the Denver Broncos for "giving us something to cheer about," and congratulating the Colorado State University Rams for their 2013 New Mexico Bowl victory.
"How could we not congratulate the Colorado State University Rams? That fourth-quarter win over Washington State—scoring 18 points in the final three minutes to come from behind—THAT was nothing short of amazing!," Hickenlooper exclaimed.

Listen to Drake on iHeartRadio
"American Idol" winner Candice Glover is hoping to get Drake to collaborate with her on her first album titled Music Speaks. Candice tells MTV News she's been trying to reach out to Drake since her win last Thursday.
While she admits she can't demand a collaboration with the rapper, that won't stop her from trying her hardest to get him on her album. She says teaming up with Drake "would be amazing."
Glover's admiration for the Young Money rapper was no secret on Fox's singing competition. During the top four round, Candice chose to perform Drake's track "Find Your Love."
The tribute was enough to get the rapper to surprise Candice with a visit. Music Speaks is scheduled to hit stores on July 16th.
