Mercury studies in the Yolo Bypass, California
- Introduction to Yolo Bypass Mercury Studies
- Seasonal &
- Rice Fields & Non-Agricultural Wetlands
The USGS has conducted several studies since 2003 related to mercury cycling in agricultural and managed wetlands in the Yolo Bypass, an area near Sacramento, California. The Yolo Bypass is managed for multiple uses - its primary function is for flood control, protecting the cities of Sacramento and West Sacramento from flows greater than 100,000 cubic feet per second on the Sacramento River. Other land uses in the Yolo Bypass include agriculture, ranching, and wildlife habitat. The California Department of Fish and Game maintains the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area (YBWA), approximately 15,000 acres to the south of the Interstate-80 causeway. The YBWA is the location for the recent field studies by USGS.

'Anorexia Nervosa' : asceticism, differentiation, government
Tait, Gordon (1993) 'Anorexia Nervosa' : asceticism, differentiation, government. Journal of Sociology, 29(2), pp. 194-208.
|Accepted Version (PDF 103kB)
This paper looks at the severe fasting practices most commonly found among young women. Almost all explanations for this behaviour centre around the notion of the pathological condition 'anorexia nervosa'. However, food asceticism has a well-documented history, particularly when it concerns religious fasting. In ancient Greece, dietary asceticism constituted an important part of the means by which individuals constructed an acceptable 'self'. Ascetic fasting then later resurfaced at various historical moments and in various different places — such as amongst medieval religious women and, in a broader way, amongst contemporary young women. It is argued that these practices have traditionally formed part of the mechanisms by which differentiation by age and sex occurs. Overall, it is hoped that this analysis will permit not only a different focus on 'anorexia nervosa', but also on some of the ways in which young people become gendered.

Retro revival could put woodies on the road
By James R. Healey and Steven Komarow, USA TODAY
Auto design has gotten so wild that almost anything could
be next.
"We're coming through an era where, by golly, if you could
sketch it, it got built and it got sold," says Jerry Hirshberg, recently retired
head of Nissan's U.S. design studio.
Check out Chrysler's PT Cruiser, Ford's Lincoln Blackwood
and Pontiac's Aztek to see how fast ridiculous becomes routine.
Chrysler brass initially thought Cruiser, a mini-minivan
disguised as a 1930s panel delivery truck, never would catch on. They demanded
that project manager Walter Battle show a profit at 50,000 sales a year
a number so low by Detroit standards, it's barely worth the trouble. But the
company sold 92,000 Cruisers last year, even though it wasn't introduced until
spring. It should sell 150,000 or more this year.
Ford Motor representatives not long ago called the notion
of a Lincoln pickup too ludicrous for comment. Yet Ford soon will begin selling
Blackwood a Lincoln truck that combines a cargo bed in back with a four-door
sport-utility vehicle in front.
And Aztek apparently is too wild. General Motors had to
halt production, hoping it could light a fire under demand for the sport-utility
van widely considered the ugliest vehicle on the market.
Though Aztek's failure (and slowing sales of new cars and
trucks generally) pump notes of caution into the process, automakers remain
fervent converts to the gospel of wacko styling. At the same time, they've found
magic in retro.
Mix oddball and old-time with U.S. preference for sport-utility
vehicles, minivans and sport wagons, and you have an argument for woodies, the
venerable wood-sided wagons, sedans and convertibles.
The 1940s and '50s originals were the centerpiece exhibit
at this year's prestigious and influential Geneva auto show. And Subaru still
tingles over the unexpectedly positive reaction when it dummied-up a Forester
in woodie guise, almost on impulse, for the auto show circuit a couple of years
That Forester woodie was a hit at a 1999 woodie exhibit
at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, too.
"I had half a dozen people ask me honestly to put them
in touch with Subaru so they could buy one," says Mitch Braiman, the museum
registrar who tracks displays and exhibitions. "More people have asked me, 'When
are you going to bring the woodies back?' than 'When are you going to bring
the Ferraris back?' "
Says Ford Motor design chief J Mays, as trendy a brass
hat as there is in Detroit: "If a new (design) will bring a smile to their faces
and make them feel as if they've got a better quality of life, that's your job.
If that means doing a woodie down the road, fine." He likens woodies to Cris
Craft wooden boats: "There's an appeal to those kinds of products that's enduring
and has longevity."
Interest at the Geneva show suggests woodies could be a
global phenomenon. "There's no limit to what can come from the past into the
future," says Steven Landry, president of Chrysler-Jeep Automotive of Europe.
That exhibit included Euro woodies of yore, a 1952 Lancia Aurelia wood-sided
wagon with 1940s Buick-style pontoon fenders and 1948 Fiat 500C Giardiniera
woodie, in addition to U.S. examples such as a '48 Chrysler Town & Country convertible,
a '47 Ford Sportsman convertible and a '48 Mercury station wagon.
But before the reverent homage goes further, automakers
must actually build woodies. And if they do, they are more likely to be "plasticies."
Lincoln Blackwood is as close as automakers have come lately.
It's kind of an inside-out woodie and a horizontal woodie. Wood lines the insides
and the floor of its cargo bed and is the passenger compartment's interior trim.
But there is none on the outside. And the wood in the bed is "a representation,
a faux wood, to make sure the vehicles were running around in 10 years," Mays
Chrysler is toying with the idea, too, showing a Panel
Cruiser version of the PT Cruiser on the auto show circuit. Reaction has been
positive, and it wouldn't be too hard to build.
The originals used wood from trees, not from chemical labs.
"The joy of owning one of those, I suppose, was the every-2-year
relacquering of the wood. I don't know that anybody wants to do that, or has
time to, these days," Mays says. Real woodies "are high maintenance."
And nonsensical, even in these anything-goes days, Hirshberg
says: "If it's something that you can say, 'Damn, that makes much more sense
than when they did it the first time,' OK. But if it's strictly to evoke better
times and that's a tragic misunderstanding of history anyway then
it's not a lasting idea."
Or, perhaps, a good one.
"Everybody loves woodies, but not everybody wants woodies.
That's the problem," says John Gunnell, editor of Krause Publications' Old
Cars Weekly in Iola, Wis. "I've always found that's a niche market. One
year, for the Iola car show, we featured woodies. We figured we would be flooded,
but we were lucky to get 20 or 30 entries. Probably the best in the country,
but only a handful. We pumped it, promoted it; we had this huge tent and nothing
in it."
Luckily, popular sports cars also were featured, and that
drew enough exhibitors to make a credible show, he says. "If we'd have just
counted on the woodies, we'd have been dead."

Does God Exist? Pointers to His Presence
Charlie Self, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Church History,
Assemblies of God Theological Seminary
Printer Friendly
Version (PDF)
Note to readers: This essay is an expansion of my presentation as a part of a panel debate at Missouri State University in November, 2009. I was joined by two great colleagues, Dr. Zach Manis, a philosopher; and Dr. Greg Ojakengas, a scientist. We were part of a debate sponsored by the atheists and skeptics who organized a "Skepticon" Conference and are part of the Internet skeptics that form the informal, "Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster."
I had the privilege of growing up in a home of free inquiry, intellectual delight, and moral integrity. My neighborhood was filled with friends from every background and race. Across the street lived Hungarian refugees from the 1956 Revolution. We had Jewish friends behind us, Catholic neighbors next door, and African-American and Hispanic friends around the corner. Believers and skeptics were coaching Little League and attending PTA meetings.
When I was 12 years old, my father wrote in his Harvard University twenty-fifth anniversary alumni journal that I was, "a fiery humanist and repressed basketball star (too short)." My pilgrimage toward authentic, intelligent theism led me to embrace faith as a young adult. I continue to examine the evidence for all faiths—or no faith—to this day.
I am a regional signer of the Williamsburg Charter, a celebration of the genius of the First Amendment. The first sixteen words therein allow people of all faiths or no faith to live peaceably with their deepest differences, even while we debate them passionately. My name is alongside atheists and believers—Eli Weisel, Norman Lear, Coretta Scott King, and Billy Graham.
Thoughtful people today are asking the important questions and testing long-held assumptions. The "new atheists" are challenging believers to examine their thinking. This can be a positive thing, if we do not make worldview decisions in a fit of reaction or because it feels fashionable. We need to read voraciously, listen deeply, and ponder humbly.
As theists, we answer the question, "Does God exist?" with a "Yes." This affirmation does not claim that our arguments are airtight, or that we possess infallible proofs. We are standing for the affirmative with the understanding that religious belief is justified, reasonable, and warranted by a fair examination of the phenomena of human experience.
Richard Carrier, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, and others assert that given enough time, all we experience and see is or will be explainable by natural processes. We do not need any supernatural intervention to account for anything. These authors spent decades refining their worldview of (meta)physical naturalism. They are well-read and superior rhetoricians. They have as much or more "evangelistic" passion for atheism as any outdoor preacher in Hyde Park, London!
Victor Stenger considers belief in God a failed hypothesis and that religious people have been indoctrinated. A fully liberated and thoughtful person will choose atheism if given an opportunity free from the debilitating effects of family and religious communities. His formidable mathematical and scientific gifts are evident. He does not, however, account for the "why" of the universe or the origin of the "quantum flux" from which the universe emerged.
Theism does offer a cohesive perspective on the purpose of life. I offer several pointers to God's existence that have yet to be decisively explained away by opponents. Any one of them alone may be insufficient for inquiring minds; however, the cumulative effect is positive for belief in God.
In the words of N. T. Wright, the thoughtful person's cry for justice is one echo of the divine voice that seems universal and not reducible to biology. The companion to this cri de coeur is our capacity for altruistic action and sacrificial love. The moral argument remains compelling. Richard Carrier and others argue that one should be moral because, "Your life turns out better that way." However, they acknowledge that there is no absolute reason for such an assertion. Relativism still wins, with all its chaotic consequences. Where does this cry come from? Why do we have a conscience? A Transcendent Source makes sense.
Our love of beauty and extravagant creativity is another pointer to a Creator. Beyond anthropological attraction for a mate, beyond religious ritual, humans create! We paint on cave walls, we sculpt figurines, and we devise new technologies. Rolf Jensen of the Copenhagen Institute calls the twenty-first century the Imagination Age. To paraphrase G. K. Chesterton, dolphins are delightful, but they do not construct bridges or buildings.
Our consciousness or self-awareness seems to distinguish us from our fellow inhabitants of terra firma. This may be the byproduct of evolution, but postulating that a Creator made a great distinction between humankind and the rest of creation is no less rational. Theists affirm that we are made of much of the same "stuff" as other animate creation; however, we also assert that the Divine breath gives us capacities that radically separate us from all other life forms.
Our spirituality and capacity for supra-rational experiences is another reflection of God. Yes, we can chart some of the places in the brain that induce hallucinations and other non-rational experiences, but we cannot reduce ineffable dimensions of human life to mere neurons. Why do we keep on conceiving of a being of which no greater can be conceived? Our opponents want to invalidate all transcendent experiences, reducing them to epiphenomena of our particular biology and environment. Our opponents have argued that there is no proof for the supernatural and that there are millions of proofs of natural phenomena; therefore there is no need of God. In response I will only say that just one unexplainable miracle invalidates materialistic reductionism! For believers, answered prayers are still a valid testimony.
The testimony of history does not infallibly prove a particular religious assertion, but it demonstrates the continual attraction of faith and the contributions of theists to progress in all spheres of life. Intolerance and violence are the awful consequences of the cosmic tear that theists believe can partner with God to repair.
The complexity and diversity of the macro and micro cosmos draws us to the possibility of a Creator, and Sustainer of the Universe. This is as plausible as either something coming from nothing or postulating the simple eternal existence of the elemental building blocks of life. William Lane Craig's assertion that we cannot traverse an infinite past is compelling. An absolute beginning is where the empirical evidence leads us; therefore, a First Cause is a rational explanation for the cosmos.
Finally, the limitation of our knowledge is a call to humility. My opponents point toward our advancements in scientific knowledge as a sign of no longer needing a God hypothesis. I think our advances in knowledge are wonderful, but they also reveal how little we know. The explosion of knowledge in our Internet Age has not transformed our character, ethics or relational abilities. We know more of the possible "how" of process, but we are no closer to our deepest question, which is, "Why?"
Theists must live with ambiguity and paradox, with unanswered questions and some axiomatic starting points. We can, however, demonstrate that religious belief is warranted and does not represent a circumvention of critical thinking.
Our opponents look at the human genome and the laws of physics and see no god. Francis Collins, director of the National Institute of Health and one of the leaders of the Human Genome Project, sees the genome and the mathematics of cosmology as the language of God.
Our opponents see chaos, randomness, violence, and waste in the evolutionary process and state categorically, "There is no god." Theists look at the same evidence, united with the beauty, functionality and power and say, "What a wonderful but fallen world we live in."
Atheists point to the awful deeds done in the name of religion. This is a non-starter. The amount of evil waged by the irreligious against religious enemies is far greater, and the number of wars directly about religion are far fewer that the standard rapacious conflicts that mar our planet. One question to consider is how much worse life would be without religious moral codes. In the twentieth century alone, more than 150,000,000 people have been killed to fulfill the agendas of totalitarians who rejected the basic tenets of theism.
There is a standard atheist narrative that portrays atheists as courageous secular saints battling ignorance and intolerance and religious folks enslaved by superstition. History also demonstrates the courage of religious adherents battling prejudice and standing for victims of injustice. History is not a straightforward narrative of progress or regress, but multiple narratives that reveal the best and worst in human persons and civilizations.
Perhaps the greatest pointer to God's existence is love. When we seek the good of others more than our own, we are choosing beyond pleasure, narcissism, or survival. Love is not the preserve of the religious, but is an indication that we are more than biology and physics.
Nurturing a baby, ameliorating suffering, and remaining faithful in friendship and marriage all posit that we are more than accidental and destined for more than decay.
Honest reflection reveals two realities. One is that most people do not come to faith or move away from faith on purely intellectual grounds. Usually there are critical events that propel a person in one direction or another. These events can be abusive and negative or affirming and miraculous. The other reality is that almost all of life comes down to relationships: with God, self, others, and the world. How we position these relationships and what we give and receive have much to do with what belief systems attract our attention. A child with an abusive but religious father may have some real questions for the Heavenly Father. A young woman away from home in a freshman philosophy class taught by a former minister-turned-atheist is impressionable toward skepticism. Conversely, an agnostic who is welcomed in a faith community may find him or herself praying and seeking to know God.

How Is The Red Blood Cell Adapted To Its Function?
It's function is primarily oxygen transport. Intracellular proteins called hemoglobin are the primary agents that bond Oxygen within RBC's. The RBC loses it's nucleus as it matures and as a consequence has room for the maximum amount of hemoglobin. Also it is discoid in shape for greater surface area which help with gas exchange and it can contort and squeeze through small capillaries to deliver it's supply of Oxygen to the tissues supplied by those capillaries.

I first heard about Caitlin Moran's bestselling book, "How to Be a Woman" on National Public Radio. The British columnist was being interviewed by Terri Gross on "Fresh Air."
It was one of those driveway moments when you arrive home, but stay in your car until the program you're listening to is over.
Moran grew up on the wrong side of London, one of too many mouths for her hippie parents to feed.
"I am 13 years old, I am 13 stone [184 pounds], I have no money, no friends, and boys throw gravel at me," she writes. "It's my birthday, and I went to bed at 7.15 p.m."
She eventually lost weight, found a job as a columnist. She had a lot of randy sex before she married, had two children and made the decision to have an abortion when she found out she was pregnant for the third time.
Her sister had a more practical approach to being a mother.
"I don't want children anyway," Caz says. "So I am getting nothing out of this whatsoever. I want my entire reproductive system taken out and replaced with spare lungs, for when I start smoking. I want that option. This is pointless."
For all her xxx-rated language, Moran does a good job examining the juggling act all women must perfect – and despite the adult subjects she tackles, she is fearless when shedding light on how far women have yet to go before we find a level playing field at home – and in the workplace.
Warning: This book contains adult situations, sometimes over-the-line graphic in nature, and language. I'm from the 1960s but Moran left me slack-jawed. On the other hand, parts made me laugh so loudly, Mr. Mathews and Maggie the dog came into the room to see what had happened.

#1: Temp Agencies
Recently I have attempted to land a job via a temp agency and soo far it is very disappointing. I always leave the interviews feeling confident and flattered. However as soon as they call me with a job preposition I am left with a negative impression. They explain the job to me and then ask me if I have any questions. Once I do ask questions, they tell me that all that matters is that I get the job and not to inquire about any benefits or pay?! I also leave feeling they have an understanding for what I am looking for, but when I get a phone call with a job preposition it is always a very far fetched job that I didn't have in mind. One in which there is no room for growth.

The annual WSJ Thanksgiving opinion
And the Fair Land
Any one whose labors take him into the far reaches of the country, as ours lately have done, is bound to mark how the years have made the land grow fruitful.
This is indeed a big country, a rich country, in a way no array of figures can measure and so in a way past belief of those who have not seen it. Even those who journey through its Northeastern complex, into the Southern lands, across the central plains and to its Western slopes can only glimpse a measure of the bounty of America.
And a traveler cannot but be struck on his journey by the thought that this country, one day, can be even greater. America, though many know it not, is one of the great underdeveloped countries of the world; what it reaches for exceeds by far what it has grasped.
So the visitor returns thankful for much of what he has seen, and, in spite of everything, an optimist about what his country might be. Yet the visitor, if he is to make an honest report, must also note the air of unease that hangs everywhere.
For the traveler, as travelers have been always, is as much questioned as questioning. And for all the abundance he sees, he finds the questions put to him ask where men may repair for succor from the troubles that beset them.
His countrymen cannot forget the savage face of war. Too often they have been asked to fight in strange and distant places, for no clear purpose they could see and for no accomplishment they can measure. Their spirits are not quieted by the thought that the good and pleasant bounty that surrounds them can be destroyed in an instant by a single bomb. Yet they find no escape, for their survival and comfort now depend on unpredictable strangers in far-off corners of the globe.
How can they turn from melancholy when at home they see young arrayed against old, black against white, neighbor against neighbor, so that they stand in peril of social discord. Or not despair when they see that the cities and countryside are in need of repair, yet find themselves threatened by scarcities of the resources that sustain their way of life. Or when, in the face of these challenges, they turn for leadership to men in high places -- only to find those men as frail as any others.
So sometimes the traveler is asked whence will come their succor. What is to preserve their abundance, or even their civility? How can they pass on to their children a nation as strong and free as the one they inherited from their forefathers? How is their country to endure these cruel storms that beset it from without and from within?
Of course the stranger cannot quiet their spirits. For it is true that everywhere men turn their eyes today much of the world has a truly wild and savage hue. No man, if he be truthful, can say that the specter of war is banished. Nor can he say that when men or communities are put upon their own resources they are sure of solace; nor be sure that men of diverse kinds and diverse views can live peaceably together in a time of troubles.
But we can all remind ourselves that the richness of this country was not born in the resources of the earth, though they be plentiful, but in the men that took its measure. For that reminder is everywhere -- in the cities, towns, farms, roads, factories, homes, hospitals, schools that spread everywhere over that wilderness.
We can remind ourselves that for all our social discord we yet remain the longest enduring society of free men governing themselves without benefit of kings or dictators. Being so, we are the marvel and the mystery of the world, for that enduring liberty is no less a blessing than the abundance of the earth.
And we might remind ourselves also, that if those men setting out from Delftshaven had been daunted by the troubles they saw around them, then we could not this autumn be thankful for a fair land.

We don't call it Turkey here in Australia, it's called "Parma" here, and I had one today for you guys. From the Moskito in Clifton Hill.
This particular style is called a "Parmy" because it is as long as an "arm" and therefore could feed an "army".

And Happy Thanksgiving to you and everyone
that Parmy looked great.

I couldn't help but wonder what sort of Oct or November holidays there are in various parts of the world that are regional and unique to an area or country

It's not a holiday as such, but Guy Fawkes night on November 5th is very specific to the UK. Guy Fawkes is a famous historical figure who tried to blow up Parliament several hundred years ago. It's an entertaining time of year where people gather at parties, drink alcohol and play with explosives.
Oh, and we also burn an effigy of Guy Fawkes. (Just to remind ourselves that terrorism doesn't have a place in a civilised world).
A happy time of year which the children all enjoy!!

Duquesne rallies to down Akron, 71-66, in WNIT first round
Vanessa Abel knows what it's like to have a basketball career come to an end.
She thought hers was over with Duquesne until the NCAA granted her a sixth year of eligibility in December 2012. With her team trailing in the second half of its first-round WNIT game against Akron, Abel was on the bench watching the minutes ticking down on more than just the season.
Then, with just under five minutes remaining and the Dukes down three, coach Suzie McConnell-Serio put Abel back in the game, and she took over.
The senior guard hit a mid-range jump shot and a 3-pointer, stole the ball at halfcourt, grabbed two rebounds and went 8 of 8 from the line to propel Duquesne to a 71-66 win at Palumbo Center. The Dukes (24-7) will play at Bowling Green on Saturday.
"It was great to see Vanessa take over and score the way she did because I had taken her out of the game when we were down by 11," McConnell-Serio said. "She wasn't scoring and wasn't defending. When I took her out of the game, in my mind, it felt so bad that this was the way she could possibly end her career, on this type of game. I give her credit that she regrouped and had such an impact down the stretch."
Abel finished with 16 points — all in the second half — eight rebounds, three assists and two steals. Wumi Agunbiade led the way with 22 points and eight rebounds, and Jocelyn Floyd had 11 points and five steals.
This is Duquesne's fifth-straight WNIT appearance but just the second time the Dukes have advanced to the second round. They made it to the third round in 2011 before losing to Illinois State.
Disappointed by their NCAA snub, the players admitted it wasn't easy to get revved up for Akron. At times, they played like it.
They trailed, 37-31, at the half, and Akron's Taylor Ruper's consecutive 3-pointers just 23 seconds apart gave the Zips a 47-36 lead with 13:16 remaining in the game. That's when McConnell-Serio called a timeout.
Abel said that was when the realty of how the Dukes were about to end their season took hold.
"No one wants to go out like that, especially playing the way we were," she said. "That had a lot to do with it, and we have something to prove."
After Abel hit a pair of free throws to make it 67-62 with 45 seconds left, Hanna Luburgh hit a 3-pointer for Akron and hit free throw to pull within one. Kacie Cassell fouled Agunbiade with 26.4 seconds remaining, and Agunbiade made both shots.
Luburgh led Akron (23-10) with 19 points and nine rebounds.
The Dukes said they feel they have something to prove.
"(Coach) believes we can make it to the championship, and I think we do, too," Floyd said. "I hope we do."

'SNL' Star Seth Meyers Steps Into Closet to Show Off His Autotune Voice (VIDEO)
A multitude of stars have stopped by to awkwardly chat with O'Brien in the cramped closet, often getting blindsided by the improvised banter and the show's signature kiss. But in Seth's case, he and Mike played off each others quirks and comfort quite well.
The newest episode featured a new game: "Mikey Think Stinky," in which Seth has to scrunch up his nose in agreement while saying "stinky" to a number of random topics. At one point, the duo went out of character to discuss the iconic variety show's harshest critics, saying:
"I think SNL is one of those shows that people are mainstream critical of," Seth said. "You'll read a review in The Economist about a book about the Titanic, and somehow they'll zing SNL in."
The comedic pair ended things with "Closet Theater," where they both acted out a broadcast interview about recent muggings in a residential neighborhood. The catch? Seth responded to the questions in an autotuned-sounding voice.
As for the anticipated kiss, we'll just say this: Seth definitely knows what he wants (and doesn't want) when it comes to puckering up! Click to watch the video and find out how the kiss plays out!
SNL returns with new episodes on Nov. 5 with host, Horrible Bosses star Charlie Day and musical guests, Maroon 5.

(CNSNews.com) - Although the law increasing the federal debt limit that was enacted earlier this month requires both houses of Congress to vote on a balanced budget amendment before the end of this year, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa)—one of the leading conservatives in the U.S. House of Representatives--said he will not vote for the amendment if it does not include a cap on federal spending and require a supermajority in both houses of Congress to increase taxes.
"If we pass something out of the House as a constitutional amendment that has no teeth, then we have no results and it looks like we're just posturing rather than actually fixing the problem," King said when asked if he would support an amendment that does not cap spending and require supermajorities for tax hikes.
"One of the reasons I voted no on the debt ceiling deal is that it was supposed to be an important lever for us that we get a vote on a balanced budget amendment," King said. "They did not include a definition for the balanced budget amendment."
The actual language of the balanced budget amendment that Congress will vote on before the end of the year has not yet been determined. However, many conservatives fear that Republican leaders may agree to vote on a stripped down amendment that requires Congress to balance the budget but does not cap spending as a percentage of GDP or require supermajorities to raise taxes. They fear that an amendment of that nature--which might win the backing of some incumbent congressional liberals--would become a constitutional lever for sustaining big government via ever-escalating federal taxation.
When the Republican-controlled-House approved the cut, cap and balance plan last on July 19 in 234-190 vote, it included a version of the balanced budget amendment to cap federal spending at 19.9 percent of GDP. The GOP originally sought to hold federal spending to 18 percent of GDP.
The version of the balanced budget amendment in the cut, cap and balance plan also required two-thirds majorities in both houses to approve a tax increase. The amendment also would have prohibited deficit spending unless there was a national security emergency or a supermajority of Congress voted for it. On July 22, the Senate voted 51-46 to approve a procedural motion that blocked substantive consideration of the cut, cap and balance bill in that body.
The debt-limit deal reached by President Barack Obama, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) requires that both houses of Congress give an up or down vote to a balanced budget amendment before the end of the year. However, it does not specify what the language of the amendment would be.
If two-thirds of Congress votes to approve a balanced budget amendment, it would then have to be ratified by 38 states, or three-fourths.
The House passed that debt-limit deal by a 269-161 vote on Aug. 1. King was one of 66 Republicans who voted against it.
King said he is not confident the current House and Senate can solve the nation's fiscal problems.
"I have in the within the last few weeks, two or three weeks, whatever it might be when the debt ceiling deal was finally resolved--at least for now--I came to the conclusion that the current configuration of Congress isn't going to solve our debt problem," King said. "There's nothing on the horizon I can see between now and the elections in November 2012 that will actually turn us in a sharp enough direction towards fiscal responsibility that we can dial a line out to the point where we can get to a balance."
Returning to Iowa, King said he heard from the public, and worries the Republican majority is not delivering.
"It was pretty clear having days involved in the debate, the Ames straw poll, a lot of time at the state fair meeting with people of any walk of life that would go to a fair," King said. "They want to see this deficit under control. They want to see Obamacare repealed. If that doesn't happen this time, the question becomes will they elect more Republicans to do this or will they simply revolt."

By Scott Frano '13
Hannah Storm Journalism Intern
The green mass of the Leprechaun Legion has been a fixture at Notre Dame home basketball games since the group's inception in 2002. Now, the Legion is trying to make its presence felt across all varsity sports.
The Legion's goal is to provide all Notre Dame teams with a true home-field advantage, said Legion President Matthew Cunningham '13 and Vice President Kristen Stoutenburgh '13.
"We're the student spirit group on campus," Cunningham said. "Our goal is to take student opinions and ideas and enact them, be the student voice of the athletic department. Try to build the energy at sporting events and get people excited about going to games and build that home-field advantage for all of our teams."
The Legion, in its first year expanding outside of basketball, made its mark early this year by contributing to some of initiatives for the fall football season.
"Our Legion board helped with the playlists on third downs and kickoffs," Cunningham said, referring to the music played over the stadium's loudspeakers. "And our highlight of the football season was the Irish flag (in the student section) during the Michigan game. That came from us, and Legion members volunteered to help coordinate the whole thing. That was something we were pretty proud of."
Out of all the sports, Cunningham and Stoutenburgh said the hockey team, which is routinely ranked as one of the best in the country, has the most need of Legion attention.
"I think we need to get hockey to where it should be," Cunningham said. "The facility is awesome, it's fast-paced, we're really good, the energy and the sound system in the rink is great, and the band is really loud. I think building that student section energy and filling the student section every night would be great to see. And I think it's very possible."
The two leaders understand the issues they face in getting more students to games, including the tendency to forget about other sports during football season.
"Football takes over, and when football is going on, there isn't as much interest in non-conference basketball games or hockey games not against ranked teams on a football weekend," Stoutenburgh said. "It's a great thing that everyone supports football, but there is such an attention on football that it can be harder to give what we need to the other sports also."
"Notre Dame students are busy, too," Cunningham said. "Everyone is in at least one club or activity or they play a sport or whatever the case may be. Our goal as the Legion is to create an environment that's fun and people like to go to and they feel like they're involved, it gives people a reason to go to games. If we can create the atmosphere, I think we can get people to go."
Despite the snowy weather in South Bend recently, spring sports such as baseball and lacrosse are right around the corner. The Legion is already developing ideas to bring students out.
"We have our two spring sports chairs who have put together proposals on giveaways they want to see," Stoutenburgh said. "They have an idea for Friday night baseball games being this big Legion event. Something cool that people want to go to with hot dogs and things like that. There's a lot of planning in the works for it."
The Notre Dame Athletic Department and the coaches of the various teams have been very supportive of the Legion in their expansion efforts. Basketball coach Mike Brey in particular has been a supporter of the Legion for years.
"The athletics department has been great," Cunningham said. "They've been waiting for a student group to be the voice of the student body and the changes they want to see. They've been very receptive to things we've suggested. Coach Brey has always been phenomenal. He comes over and gives us high-fives after the games."
Cunningham and Stoutenburgh hope that their expansion efforts this year will lead to better awareness of the Legion as not just a basketball-supporting club.
"This is our first year of the new Legion, covering all the sports," Cunningham said. "I think part of it is just breaking the old perception and that takes time. So hopefully the freshmen that have come in this year, their initial perception of the Legion is at all sports, and then they will be sophomores and there will be new freshmen. Hopefully we'll start to gain some momentum."

|From: Anthony Cowley (acowley at seas.upenn.edu)
Date: Thu May 21 05:19:20 EDT 2009
I was experimenting with the scribble/lp language, and found the need for the @chunks rather frustrating as they take up horizontal space and introduce a required chunk label. Replacing the @chunk calls with @schemeblock made the resulting scribble document (generated via lp-include) look very nice, but the source file was no longer a valid PLT Scheme program (in the sense that, when run, it would yield an error due to not having any chunks). At this point I realized that what I actually wanted was quite close to scribble/lp, but not quite the way I understand it to currently be. I'd like the labels to just come from define forms (perhaps with the option of me labeling other chunks for inclusion in the table of contents), and I'd also prefer to not have to annotate a valid syntactic form at all. This latter is perhaps unworkable, hence this email: Could we switch the reader into Scheme mode when encountering an un-escaped left-parenthesis, and remain in text mode at all other times? Has anyone with more experience at custom languages and readers in PLT already done this? Anthony

Tubes Asylum
Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ
I have a Decware Zen Triode Select from 2003 (3 1/2 - 4 watts total), and I'm looking for a synergistic match in terms of a tube preamp. Currently I'm using a Pioneer SX-838 as a preamp, but in that capacity it's being grossly underutilized. The Decware could, ostensibly, be used without one, but I'd like a tad bit more volume and a balance control is necessary, at least until I get my ears cleaned again. Any suggestions?

GONZALES — The City Council adopted the amended 2014-15 general fund and capital outlay budgets Monday, but not before several residents asked the council to reconsider.
Councilmen Gary Lacombe and Terance Irvin proposed a number of budget amendments at the council's April 28 meeting and the amendments were included in the budget after a 3-2 vote that night.
The two budgets came up for a final vote on Monday night.
Among the amendments was the addition of $800,000 for a study of an Interstate 10 service road between La. 30 and La. 44, the cutting of funding to the Ascension Economic Development Corp. from $100,000 to $25,000 and spending cuts in the Fire Department for equipment and in the Police Department for vehicles.
On Monday night, several residents who wanted to address the council about the budget changes were each given 3 minutes to speak.
Before the vote on the amended general fund budget, former Police Chief Bill Landry, referring to the $800,000 slated for an I-10 service road study, said he was "asking councilmen that are involved in this to recuse themselves from voting."
He questioned the propriety of councilmen voting on a study of an area of the city "where a family owns property."
According to a map from the Assessor's Office, Irvin's father, Melvin Irvin Jr., owns, either individually or through a business, several parcels of property along South Commerce Avenue, which is east of the interstate.
Following the meeting, Terance Irvin said the location of a service road along I-10 hasn't been determined and the $800,000 is for preliminary planning. He indicated he would seek an opinion from the state Board of Ethics as to whether he should recuse himself from voting on the issue.
Ascension Chamber of Commerce Chairman Matthew Pryor also addressed the council, asking it to restore funding to the Ascension Economic Development Corp. and the Police and Fire departments.
"Those chairs you sit on are not thrones," Pryor said. "This is not the feudal ages."
Before the vote on the capital outlay budget was taken, Councilman Lacombe discussed the budget amendment to buy four police units, instead of the nine that Police Chief Sherman Jackson had requested.
Lacombe said he wanted to spread out the replacement of the units over several years.
"You have to have faith and trust in me that I know" the required replacement and maintenance schedule, Jackson said.
"If you want to be the chief, you can run for it," Jackson said.
The amended general fund and capital outlay budgets both passed, with councilmen Lacombe, Irvin and Timothy Vessel voting in favor of the budgets, and councilmen Kenny Matassa and Kirk Boudreaux voting against them.

We spoke to one of the most chulbuli, notorious and modern ladki Ragini Khanna famous for her role as Suhana in Sasural Genda Phool. She was last seen as the co-host of India's Best Dramebaaz and this is what she had to say about monsoon…
Monsoon for me means -
For me, monsoon means romance and discomfort. Discomfort because it causes a lot of problems in travelling, water logging and wet clothes.
First thought about monsoon -
Um… my first thought would be – Hah! No summers!
Most memorable moment when it comes to rains -
Going out with friends and having Gupta's special Pani-Puri and Mithibai's famous Dheeraj Vada Pav. Having ice creams when totally drenched in rains is something I love doing with my friends.
Monsoon is not necessarily a "lover's paradise" –
I don't completely agree when they say that monsoon is a lover's paradise! If you are in love you feel good and loved even in winters and summers. Love doesn't have any season. Loving in monsoon is too filmi! It's like the monsoon is unnecessarily romanticized.
I can never enjoy monsoons when it is raining –
My experience while shooting during monsoon has never been good. The generators always go for a toss. And the worst part is that I hardly come to know that it's raining and never can I enjoy them because of my busy schedules.
Monsoon and Childhood -
As a child, I don't have any good memories of monsoon. In fact I just remember one incident that too a bad one. I had missed my bus when I was in Jr. Kg, and was stranded all alone in school. Thankfully, I had a raincoat with me and some sense of maturity that made me realize that my Nani's house was just two minutes away from my school. I had to walk all the way to my Nani's place on a road which had water upto my knees.
My monsoon mantra this season -
Gumboots, shorts, loose T-shirts. Actually wearing whatever that is comfortable.
My favourite food during monsoons -
I love having malpuas, vada pav, pakodaas with chai. This is something which has become a compulsion now. Every monsoon I have to have these come what may.
Favourite Monsoon Music -
I love listening to music while I am travelling with my car windows open and drops of rains falling on me. I usually prefer listening to romantic songs.
My Monsoon fantasy -
I want to be with someone whom I love. Ride a cycle with him, totally drenched in rains with absolutely no traffic on the road. And yes, it has to be riding cycles separately and not on double seat. I find it too cheesy and shady!

Simon and Speck are families of lightweight block ciphers designed by the U.S. National Security Agency and published in 2013. Each of the families contains 10 variants, supporting a wide range of block and key sizes. Since the publication of Simon and Speck, several research papers analyzed their security using various cryptanalytic techniques. The best previously published attacks on all the 20 round-reduced ciphers are differential attacks, and are described in two papers (presented at FSE 2014) by Abed et al. and Biryukov et al.
In this paper, we focus on the software-optimized block cipher family Speck, and describe significantly improved attacks on all of its 10 variants. In particular, we increase the number of rounds which can be attacked by 1, 2, or 3, for 9 out of 10 round-reduced members of the family, while significantly improving the complexity of the previous best attack on the remaining round-reduced member. Our attacks use an untraditional key recovery technique for differential attacks, which resembles techniques typically used in attacks based on self-similarity.
Despite our significantly improved attacks, they do not seem to threaten the security of any member of Speck.

|"Proper" Theology
|Written by Peter J. Leithart
|Saturday, 02 January 2010 15:02
The fourth-century church father Athanasius of Alexandria is typically viewed as the great defender of the Nicene Creed. Against all the world – emperors and bishops and heretics – Athanasius stood fast in his defense of the great slogan of the creed, the confession that the Son of God was "the same substance" (homoousios) with the Father.
It is true that Athanasius confessed and defended the creed, including the homoousios that was the creed's most crucial and controversial term. He believed that this term accurately described the relation of the Father and Son, and he also defended the Nicene Council's use of a term that was not found in the Bible. Scripture's terms are more accurate, but sometimes, he argued, we need extra-biblical terms to clarify the Bible's sense. Besides, homoousios sent the Arians bonkers, so it had to be good.
Important as it is, homoousios is not at the center of Athanasius' theology. Closer to the heart of his understanding of the gospel was a more modest term, the Greek word idios, which describes what is "one's own," what is "proper" to a thing or person. "Proper" has to do with something's most basic "properties." Human beings are finite; that is proper to their being as humans. God is infinite, good, just, and all these things are "proper" to His being as God.
What did Athanasius squeeze out of this little word? Most everything.
For starters, Athanasius used idios far more often than homoousios to describe the Son's relation to the Father. The Son is "proper" to the Father. Arians did not believe that God was always Father. Once He was only "God," and became Father only when He begot His Son.
But if God was not eternally Father, what kind of being was he? The Arians couldn't really say, except that God was "Ungenerated" – that is, he had not been made by anything else. A warm, personal word, that: "Our Ungenerated, who art in heaven. . . . your heavenly Ungenerated knows before you ask. . . . so the heavenly Ungenerated in heaven clothes the grass of the field." That won't do. Our theology must match our prayers, Athanasius said, and we pray to a heavenly Father, not an Ungenerated and all but unknown Something in the sky.
To say that the Son was proper to the Father is to say that the Father was always Father, because He has always, from all eternity, had a Son. Fatherliness is not some added extra to God, not some secondary property like having a limp or blue eyes. Father is what He is, what He always has been.
Saying that the Son is "proper" to the Father also tells us something about the Son. If the Son is "proper" to the Father, then He is as close to the Father as any of the Father's attributes. The Father is as much "Father-to-the-Son" as He is good, just, holy, omnipotent, omniscient.
In fact, Athanasius often said that the Father is good, holy, just, wise, powerful because He has a Son. He often quotes 1 Corinthians 1:24 to make the point ("Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God"), and he takes Paul quite literally. The Father doesn't have "proper" power, power of "His own," that is nearer to the Father than the wisdom and power that is the Son. The Arians insulted the Father when they say "there was when the Son was not." If the Son is the Father's power and wisdom, then the Arians are saying that once the Father was an impotent fool. Athanasius put it simply: If the Arians are right, then before the Son the Father was nothing, since "The Son is the Father's all."
But Athanasius is not done with idios. He uses the same term to describe the relationship of the Word to the flesh that He takes in the incarnation. Flesh is not essential to the Son in the way that the Son is essential to the Father. Taking flesh is a free act of God's will. Once the Word willed to take flesh, He made flesh "proper" to Himself. It is "His own" flesh.
Along with flesh, the Word makes every other human limit and foible His own. For Athanasius, it is not accurate to say that the Word Himself, considered as the eternal God, is limited as creatures are. Yet, since He has appropriated flesh, and bound Himself intimately and inseparably to it, He has freely taken on human limits.
Jesus says He doesn't know the day or hour of His coming; that's because the Word made the ignorance of the flesh His own ignorance. Jesus gets hungry, thirsty, sleepy, frightened by the cross; that's because the Word made the weakness of the flesh His own. In the flesh, the Word suffers and dies on the cross; that's because the Word embraced our suffering and our death, made it His, so that He could deliver us from it.
That leads us to the final point that Athanasius developed around the word idios. When the Word made our flesh "proper" to Himself, He didn't simply take on the individual flesh that made Him Jesus of Nazareth. He joined Himself intimately to His people. By taking flesh, living, dying, and rising against, the Word has freely chosen to hold us as close to Himself as His own attributes. Eternally, the Word is the Power and Wisdom of God. But in history, without ceasing to be that Power and Wisdom, He made Himself our Husband, our Head, our Savior, our Lord. Those titles have become "proper" titles of the Son, because He has made His bride, His body, His people "proper" to Himself. "Having-a-bride" becomes one of the attributes of the eternal Son of the Father.
What did Athanasius make of that little word, idios? Most everything: The Father who has a Son that is proper to His essence sent that very Son to take flesh and make the flesh proper to Himself, so that His people could become proper to the Son, and so that we, still living in the flesh, might share by the Spirit in the Power and Wisdom that is proper to the Father.
That, according to Athanasius, is the gospel. That is proper theology.

The year is off to a good start for European technology companies. In January 2016, Tech.eu tracked 254 funding deals, totalling €1.6 billion. This represents a 151% and 69% increase, respectively, compared to the previous year.
While monthly data can be heavily influenced by large rounds and not be entirely representative of the future evolution of an economic sector, we found certain aspects in our data worth highlighting. This week, we'll be releasing an in-depth report on tech funding in Europe in 2015, by the way, so you might want to subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated.
Update: the full report on technology investments in Europe in 2015 is now out – check this article for the key take-aways from the report, and buy it here for only £250.
Massive increase at the early stage
An analysis of the distribution of deals shows a year-on-year increase across all stages, but especially at the seed and Series A stage (funding rounds smaller than €10 million).
We've tracked 149 deals smaller than €5 million, compared to just 56 in 2015.
The bigger increases were seen at the pre-seed or seed level (€500,000 and lower) and in rounds between €1 million and €5 million, where the number of deals jumped from 26 a year ago, to 74 in 2016.
These significant increases were also visible when it comes to Series A deals, with more than 8 times as many €5 million to €10 million funding rounds.
Last month Europe also saw two mega-rounds of more than €100 million, from Deezer and Skyscanner. In the same period a year ago there was only one, Kreditech's €182 million debt financing deal. Our 2016 analysis also includes SoundCloud's €32 million debt round as the news surfaced then (even though the round dates back to early 2015).
Spain's hangover
As we highlight in our 2015 funding report, Spain surpassed the €500 million mark for the first time ever, helped by large rounds from the likes of Letgo, Wallapop, UserZoom, Jobandtalent, Typeform and CartoDB.
The country was off to a great start in 2015 – relative to its performance in previous years – with 14 funding deals and €42 million in total capital raised.
So far, the situation in 2016 looks vastly different. In January Tech.eu has only tracked 9 rounds and €5.8 million for Spain, a 86% year-on-year drop.
As we said at the beginning, monthly data should not be considered as representative of a market's future performance, but with the country's best startups having raised large rounds in the last 12 to 18 months, one can wonder where all the money raised by Spanish VCs (more than €500 million in 2014 and 2015) is going to go over the next few months and years.
Past leaders continue leading
Visible in the graphs above is also the fact that the European funding landscape, unsurprisingly, continues to be dominated by the UK, Israel, France and Germany.
The first three countries all posted a year-on-year uplift greater than 100%, led by UK startups, which raised more than €600 million in just one month (thanks to Skyscanner, Starling, Mubi and HighQ's large rounds).
It's also worth highlighting the case of France, as with two rounds alone (Deezer and Navya, €141 million combined) it surpassed January 2015's €78 million total.
Germany saw the largest decrease of all countries, heavily influenced by Kreditech, Windeln.de and Mister Spex announcing big rounds at the beginning of last year.
FinTech is not going away
FinTech startups raised the largest amount of all in January 2015. The financial technology sector was not the top ranked vertical this year, but still attracted an impressive amount of capital: €142 million.
Travel (Skyscanner) and audiovisual (Deezer, SoundCloud) rounded the top 3.
Nowhere to be seen in the most funded verticals in 2016 was e-commerce, which ranked second in 2015 and has traditionally been a highly important European tech sector.
As previously noted, further analysis of the European tech scene will continue at Tech.eu -including not just funding rounds, but also M&A activity (buy our report here), and we'll see whether some of these temporary changes are here to stay or are just data blips.

Yachats is a small, charming seaside town on the central Oregon coast. Its isolated proximity from the urban areas of Oregon makes it a tranquil destination for families and couples. Steep slopes meet rocky beaches with crashing waves and spectacular views. Sandy beaches are scattered among the rocks for a beach playground that is appealing for children, beachcombers and dogs. You will enjoy your stay in a house, cottage or cabin that will offer amenities such as a fireplace, Internet access and satellite or cable television.
The Yachats area is home to many beautiful natural wonders, such as the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area, the Yachats State Recreation Area and the Yachats 804 Trail. The 804 Trail runs through the town along the coastline and offers opportunities to explore the beach, watch for whales, enjoy the sunset and explore the tide pools. This trail is the former driving route between the towns of Yachats and Waldport, which is a few miles north of the area.Cape Perpetua Scenic Area
This 2,700-acre park is just three miles south of Yachats, and it includes overlooks and oceanic rock formations such as Devil's Churn, Cook's Chasm, Spouting horn and the Cape Perpetua Overlook, which is the highest-elevation vehicle-friendly coastal location in Oregon. These spectacular locations feature crashing waves which flow into the rock formations and spray into the air with tremendous force. Hiking trails through the old-growth rainforest lead to breathtaking views, tide pools and the beach. There is also a visitor's center offering guided walks and natural history exhibits.
The Heceta Head Lighthouse has graced many calendars and is a popular site for scenic landscape photography on the Oregon coast. This spectacular location is an Oregon State Scenic Viewpoint, and it is part of a network of hiking trails in the area. The 1894 lighthouse is perched on a cliff and it includes lighthouse tours, a beautifully restored light keeper's house and panoramic views of the sandy beach below and the rocky shoreline surrounding the cove.Wildlife
Seabirds are commonly seen in this area, with common murres laying their eggs on the rocky bluff below the lighthouse. Brown pelicans, seagulls and bald eagles are also frequently seen in the area. Gray whales are often seen migrating in these ocean waters, and from this elevated location, they can be seen from above as they pass near the shore.
The small town of Yachats is home to few services, but an eclectic selection of delicious restaurants and small boutique shops line the main road. Casual dining featuring local seafood is a delicious option, and many restaurants feature large windows for viewing the ocean during your meal. Small shops and galleries offer local artwork, kites and memorabilia from the Yachats area.
Like the rest of the Oregon coast, the weather in Yachats is typically cool, windy and rainy. However, this central and southern half of the Oregon coast tends to experience fewer temperature extremes than the northern part of the coast, so you can expect temperatures to be quite moderate during any time of the year. A waterproof, windproof jacket and waterproof footwear are essential for exploring the beach.
The Yachats area is remote, and there are few services for transportation. Small airports on the coast can provide service, but commercial flights are available in larger towns such as Portland International Airport, which is a four-hour drive from Yachats. A rental or private car is the best way to explore the Oregon coast, and commercial bus service is also available to reach this coastal community.

The issue is that there is an interesting concept here; I think there is merit to the concept in an old world (circa 2000), but I don't believe it makes sense in today's world of easy access to several useful, open services. I'm happy to debate that. > In a way I thought this is what your research topic #3 would be, given your > interest in "competing" with RoR so to speak. Perhaps we are not thinking > the same thing? It is the same thing. Given that you know what's going to be on the client and what on the server, how do you produce each part? For the client, I recommend Flapjax. For the server, we are working on this RoR competitor. > Your description of tierless is basically a higher level compiler/translator > that compiles code into the multiple tiers, and RoR or any other framework > all do that to various extent (I wouldn't really classify any of these as > languages though... maybe you are talking about other languages instead of > RoR/equivalents) - or am I missing something? That's what "tierless" means. You write a single program that gets compiled into several different languages running in different places, such as SQL on the db, Java on the server, JS on the client. But in practice this "single language" is not so single after all: you often still have to annotate what lives where, you may have slightly different APIs depending on location, and you often have to write the db access code in a very stylized way so that the compiler to SQL can produce good SQL code from it. Geoff Knauth asked: > > > http://flapjax.blogspot.com/2007/02/tierless-tieranny.html > > > So where does Flapjax sit? We do provide one for data storage > > one what? One Web service, ie, a built-in persistent store which we host for you. We don't expect this to be a long-term solution so much as a useful way of prototyping your application to get off the ground, until you're ready to create your own private persistent back-end.

Chase Academy beat Tutorial High 8-0
…in Digicel national u-18 knockout football championship
Chase Academy utterly defeated Tutorial High by an 8-0 score line when the fourth annual Digicel national under-18 knockout football championship continued yesterday at the Ministry of Education ground on Carifesta Avenue.
Andre Trotz opened scoring for the winners in the 10th minute when his right sided strike from 30 yards out flew straight through the hands of the opposing keeper and fortuitously into the right hand corner of the goal. Their lead was doubled in the 25th minute through a Daniel Ross header into the back of the net, from within the left side of the six yard area, after pouncing on a right sided Trotz cross.
The scores were 3-0 nine minutes later when David Britton scored, lashing his left sided 27 yard effort over the hands of the keeper and into the middle of the net. The score line then ballooned to 4-0 in the 45th minute when Trotz sealed his brace, stabbing home his effort down the middle of the goal from inside the centre of the area, after pouncing on an initial Kareem Knights effort that came crashing off the crossbar.
Isiah Reddy added his name to the scorer's sheet in the 52nd minute, thumping his left footed effort past the Tutorial keeper, after evading his marker within the left side of the penalty area. Shemar Barrow then assumed the goal scoring burden, netting four minutes later; placing his effort into the lower left hand corner of the goal after collecting a left sided pass within the right side of the box. He completed his double in the 61st minute through a right footed strike into the bottom left corner, following a one-on-one situation inside the centre of the area with the opposing keeper, after latching onto a through-pass. The lopsided result was sealed in the 74th minute through an own goal.
