Scientific Societies Unite to Announce National Photonics Initiative
NPI will work to increase photonics R&D, grow the U.S. economy, improve national security

"Life without photonics is almost unimaginable. From the moment you wake up to the alarm on your smartphone, to swiping your credit card to pay for coffee, to logging into your computer and connecting with the world through the Internet, photonics makes it possible," said OSA CEO Elizabeth Rogan. "The NPI will work to advance photonics in the areas that are most critical to the U.S., like improving the economy, creating jobs, saving lives and sparking innovation for future generations."
Photonics generates, controls and detects light to advance manufacturing, robotics, medical imaging, next-generation displays, defense technologies, biometric security, image processing, communications, astronomy and much more. Photonics forms the backbone of the Internet, guides energy exploration and keeps soldiers safe with night vision and physiological feedback on the battlefield.
In 1998, the National Research Council released a report, "Harnessing Light," which presented a comprehensive overview of the potential impact of photonics on major industry sectors. In response, several worldwide economies moved to advance their already strong photonics industries. The United States, however, did not develop a cohesive strategy. As a result, the U.S. lost its competitive advantage in a number of cutting-edge technologies as well as thousands of U.S. jobs and companies to overseas markets.
"The EU, Germany, Korea, Taiwan, and China all recognize the importance of photonics, and have taken action," said SPIE CEO Eugene Arthurs. "The U.S. Department of Defense, for example, has long supported photonics, but more photonics research is needed to maintain our national security in the face of non-traditional threats. The time is now for the U.S. to make the right investments in the crucial capabilities of the future."
In 2012, the National Research Council released "Optics and Photonics: Essential Technologies for our Nation" that called for a national photonics initiative to regain U.S. leadership in key photonic-driven fields. In response to that call, the NPI was established.
"The NPI offers an opportunity for us to show how critical it is for federally funded research to flourish in this country," said Kate Kirby, executive officer of APS. "So many of the technologies that we use have come from the results of basic research funded by the federal government."

Fostering Colleague Engagement
We consider our employees to be "colleagues"—partners in how Pfizer does business and moves ahead. We believe our colleagues should be fully engaged in the work of the company. Engaged colleagues are successful colleagues, and we go the extra mile to engage colleagues.
Colleague engagement begins with clear, frequent communication on how the business is developing and how challenges are being met and overcome. This helps us to foster a collegial workplace and encourage commitment to the business in the interest of improving retention rates, performance and collaborative success.
Company-wide "town halls" conducted by the CEO and executive leaders follow each quarterly report on our financial performance, providing an opportunity to explain how business strategies are being implemented and to detail how investors are responding to Pfizer's financial reporting. Conducted by webcast, these meetings also provide a forum for our executives to answer questions directly from colleagues around the world.
We maintain a robust intranet, PfizerWorld, that keeps colleagues informed of accomplishments and challenges across our global enterprise, blending external and internal news sources and providing executive viewpoints, colleague profiles, forums and channels for feedback to every employee.
We communicate our stated values in many ways, including through annual testing and training relating to Pfizer's Code of Business Conduct.
We measure our progress through an annual global colleague survey designed to measure both engagement and inclusion. This survey is conducted in 29 languages, is designed to ensure confidentiality, and allows us to compare our performance with those of best-performing companies. We have made steady progress in both colleague engagement and inclusion over the past four years that the survey has been implemented. As a response to survey feedback, we have placed increased focus on talent development for senior leaders, managers and colleagues, a new platform for idea generation and development, and a colleague-driven forum for networking.

HOUSTON - A new study revealed that indoor tanning beds, while popular, are to blame for more than 170,000 new cases of skin cancer in the United States.
Researchers said those who begin tanning before the age of 25 are 67 percent more likely to develop squamous cell carcinoma and 29 percent more likely to develop basal cell carcinoma compared to those who never use tanning beds.
Pediatric dermatologist. Dr. Sue Ann Douglas with Kelsey-Seybold Clinic said she discourages her patients from both indoor and outdoor tanning.
She explained, "Indoor tanning seems to be as damaging to the skin as outdoor tanning. Sometimes teenagers will go frequently to indoor tan. It becomes a social event and they're doing a lot of damage to their skin and there's a lot of data to suggest that the skin is more sensitive to ultraviolet exposure at a young age when most of the tanning is happening."
Douglas said both basal and squamous cell carcinoma tend to be non-lethal, but are still concerning.
She added, "It is something that usually needs to be surgically removed, so it can cause down time and leave scars."
In a statement, a representative for the Indoor Tanning Association said, "While indoor tanning is generally considered a cosmetic activity, there are also proven and published health benefits of vitamin D production, which many researchers believe outweigh the overall health risks of skin cancer and even melanoma."
Douglas said, "You can get sufficient vitamin D from a healthy diet and you don't need to get it from the sun."
Douglas said if you've got to have that golden glow, spray tanning is a safe, effective option.

First and foremost, I have to admit that I'm on Facebook. My account is there to try and help promote this blog and my BlogTalkRadio efforts. Perhaps my participation is less than it could be, but then again, you can only devote so much time to all the different social media options that are available to you.
Facebook is often referred to as an online community, but I am beginning to have serious reservations about what that really means. A community is something that people belong to that promotes and supports one's own circumstances and reinforces other members' beliefs and principles as well. More important than that, however, community is strongest when its members are relatively local in proximity to one another.

Stage 4: Selecting the platforms
While the consultant was doing the server utilization analysis to determine which apps could run on virtual servers and which needed to stay on physical servers, the IT team at Fergenschmeir started to think about what hardware would be used as the hosts in the final implementation.
[ Start at the beginning of Fergenschmeir's server virtualization journey ]
The virtualization engine
It was obvious that any hardware they chose had to be compatible with VMware ESX, the virtualization software they had tested, so infrastructure manager Eric Brown's team started checking the VMware hardware compatibility list. But server administrator Mary Edgerton stopped the process with a simple question: "Are we even sure we want to use VMware?"
Nobody had given that question much thought in the analysis and planning done so far. VMware was well known, but there were other virtualization platforms out there. In hindsight, the only reason Eric's team had been pursuing VMware was due to the experience that the intern, Mike Beyer, had with it. That deserved some review.
From Eric's limited point of view, there were four main supported virtualization platforms that he could chose from. VMware Virtual Infrastructure (which includes VMware ESX Server), Virtual Iron, XenSource, and Microsoft's Virtual Server.
Eric wasn't inclined to go with Microsoft's technology because, from his reading and from input from the other server administrator, Ed Blum, who had used Microsoft Virtual Server before, it wasn't as mature nor did it perform as well as VMware. Concerns over XenSource's maturity also gave Eric pause, and industry talk that XenSource was a potential acquisition target created uncertainty he wanted to avoid. (And indeed it was later acquired.)
Virtual Iron, on the other hand, was a different story. The two were much closer in terms of maturity, from what Eric could tell, and Virtual Iron was about a quarter the cost. This gave Eric some pause, so he talked over the pros and cons of each with CTO Brad Richter at some length.
In the end they decided to go with VMware as they had originally planned. The decision came down to the greater number of engineers who had experience with the more widely deployed VMware platform and the belief that there would also be more third-party tools available for it. Another factor was that CEO Bob Tersitan and CFO Craig Windham had already heard the name VMware. Going with something different would require a lot of explanation and justification -- a career risk neither Eric nor Brad were willing to take.
The server selection
After the question of platform had been solved, Eric had received the initial capacity planning analysis, which indicated the need for eight or nine dual-socket, quad-core ESX hosts. With that in mind, the IT group turned its focus back to selecting the hardware platform for the revamped datacenter. Because Fergenschmeir already owned a lot of Dell and Hewlett-Packard hardware, the initial conversation centered on those two platforms. Pretty much everyone on Eric's team had horror stories about both, so they weren't entirely sure what to do. The general consensus was that HP's equipment was better in quality but Dell's cost less. Eric didn't really care at an intellectual level -- both worked with VMware's ESX Server, and his team knew both brands. Ed and Mary, the two server administrators, loved HP's management software, so Eric felt more comfortable with that choice.
Before Eric's team could get down to picking a server model, Bob made his presence known again by sending an e-mail to Brad that read, "Read about blades in InfoWorld. Goes well with green campaign we're doing. Get those. On boat; call cell. -- Bob." It turned out that Bob had made yet another excellent suggestion, given the manageability, power consumption, and air conditioning benefits of a blade server architecture.
Of course, this changed the hardware discussion significantly. Now, the type of storage chosen would matter a lot, given that blade architectures are generally more restrictive about what kinds of interconnects can be used, and in what combination, than standard servers.
For storage, Eric again had to reconsider the skills of his staff. Nobody in his team had worked with any SAN, much less Fibre Channel, before. So he wanted a SAN technology that was cheap, easy to configure, and still high-performance. After reviewing various products, cross-checking the ESX hardware compatibility list, and comparing prices, Eric decided to go with a pair of EqualLogic iSCSI arrays -- one SAS array and one SATA array for high- and medium-performance data, respectively.
This choice then dictated a blade architecture that could support a relatively large number of gigabit Ethernet links per blade. That essentially eliminated Dell from the running, narrowing the choices to HP's c-Class architecture and Sun's 6048 chassis. HP got the nod, again due to Mary's preference for its management software. Each blade would be a dual-socket, quad-core server with 24GB of RAM and 6Gbps Ethernet ports. Perhaps the IT team would increase the amount of RAM per blade through upgrades later if the hosts became RAM-constrained, but this configuration seemed to be a good initial starting place.
The network selection
The next issue to consider was what type of equipment Eric's team might need to add to the network. Fergenschmeir's network core consisted of a pair of older Cisco Catalyst 4503 switches, which drew together all of the fiber from the network closets, and didn't quite provide enough copper density to serve all of the servers in the datacenter. It was certainly not enough to dual-home all of the servers for redundancy. The previous year, someone had added an off-brand gigabit switch to take up the slack, and that obviously needed to go.
After reviewing some pricing and spec sheets, Eric decided to go with two stacks of Catalyst 3750E switches and push the still-serviceable 4503s out to the network edge. One pair of switches would reside in the telco room near the fiber terminations and perform core routing duties, while the other pair would sit down the hall and switch the server farm.
In an attempt to future-proof himself, Eric decided to get models that could support a pair of 10G links between the two stacks. These switches would ultimately cost almost as much as getting a single, highly redundant Catalyst 6500-series switch, but he would have had to retain the massive bundle of copper running from the telco room to the datacenter, or extend the fiber drops through to the datacenter to make that work. Neither prospect was appealing.
The total platform cost
All told, the virtualization hardware and software budget was hanging right around $300,000. That included about $110,000 in server hardware, $40,000 in network hardware, $100,000 in storage hardware, and about $50,000 in VMware licensing.
This budget was based on the independent consultant's capacity planning report, which indicated that this server configuration would conservatively achieve a 10:1 consolidation ratio of virtual to physical servers, meaning 8 physical servers to handle the 72 application servers needed. Adding some failover and growth capacity brought Eric up to nine virtualization hosts and a management blade.
This approach meant that each virtualized server -- including a completely redundant storage and core network infrastructure but excluding labor and software licensing costs -- would cost about $4,200. Given that an average commodity server generally costs somewhere between $5,000 and $6,000, this seemed like a good deal. When Eric factored in the fact that commodity servers don't offer any kind of non-application-specific high availability or load balancing capabilities, and are likely to sit more than 90-percent idle, it was an amazing deal.
Before they knew it, Eric and Brad had gotten Bob's budget approval and were faxing out purchase orders.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Tom Silverman is betting that the music business has finally entered its Spinal Tap phase. That is, it's hit the big bottom. "I'm a contrarian. Up or down, I am always looking the other way," he told me. "As dark as things look now, I see a doubling of the business in the next decade." Silverman does not come by his optimism lightly. He was the founder and director of the New Music Seminar, a New York City-based, forward-looking music industry concert and trade group. He also sits on various industry boards, including the Washington, D.C.-based industry royalty engine SoundExchange and the Recording Industry Association of America. "We have had a bad ride for the last 12 years," he said. But Silverman's real claim to fame is as one of the founding business minds behind hip-hop music and art. Back in early 1980s, this white kid from White Plains, N.Y., borrowed $5,000 from -- who else -- his parents, to create Tommy Boy Records (now Tommy Boy Entertainment), with the singular goal of promoting then-revolutionary urban acts such as Queen Latifah, Afrika Bambaataa, De La Soul and many others. He set sales records in the process and the label went on to get gobbled up by Warner Bros. Records in 1985. "Nothing was as mind-blowing as watching the groundswell of rap and graffiti," he said. "All happening within a five-mile radius around the Bronx," To be sure, Silverman has had his share of off-the-wall ideas. My favorite is that back in 2002 he invested in something called Kung Faux : TV-length Kung Fu movies re-cut to rap music voiceovers. Think a music industry riff of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter meets Woody Allen's What's Up, Tiger Lily?
These days, the older and wiser Silverman is seeing a silver lining of sorts emerging in the digital age: That maybe -- just maybe -- the worst is over for the struggling music industry. And that reasonable growth and new revenues are coming. Silverman is clear that there will be no musical A-Team that parachutes in to restore music sales to days of old. Rather, he sees a mostly globally driven, slower-growing music business that swaps the traditional unit sales model of CDs and downloads with subscription music services such as Spotify, Pandora ( P), Deezer and others. "I don't think the record business will be in records. The future is customers paying for access over ownership," he explains.

Mila Kunis is sweet baby Jesus hot
I'm sorry Kim Kardashian lovers/Weight Watchers enthusiasts but this is how you show up for a premiere: By looking SH-BANGIN'! This is Mila Kunis at the premiere of her new movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall and I gotta admit I never was much of a fan during her time on That 70's show. I was all about the Laura Prepon Amazonian goodness. Maybe it's because Mila's character dated Ashton Kutcher and therefore, by association, I wanted her to get hit in the face with a large jungle cat. But now? Get that cheetah out of the slingshot; Daddy likes.
NOTE: Included pics of Mila with Kristen Bell because I'm practically Mother Teresa over here. I get confused for her a lot and especially at the nudie bar. People are always, "Oh, hey, yo, are you that Mother Teresa lady?" And I'm all, "Ha ha, no, good citizen." Then they punch me in the face and tell me to stop smuggling free wings in my shirt. Ah, like peas in a pod, the two of us.

haplo602 - Thursday, July 16, 2009 - linkboard layout seems to be bad. 2 PCI, 1 PCIe slots instead of 2x PCIe 1 PCI and the PCIe seems to be blocked by the chipset HS anyway. I hope the full review will address the PCIe 1x slot space.
also CPU HSF retention frame seems to be too close to memory slots. will a Scytche Ninja Mini fit in there ? Reply
span - Tuesday, July 28, 2009 - linkI've actually gotten one of this board from Newegg before they deactivated the item. Guess they let the cat out of the bag early.
I've installed a HD tuner card in the PCIe slot and it worked just fine.
Not sure about the CPU HSF retention frame. I'm using a 7780 and stock fan and seems to fit just fine. Send me a Ninja Mini and I'll let you know... :P
In the mean-time, I am in driver hell as AMD does not support this chipset officially yet, and the current catalyst drivers/utils does not work with it. Anyone know where I can fine some beta/pre-release drivers?
adnoto - Thursday, July 16, 2009 - link"Before we could even try our hands at waterboarding Gigabyte's latest multimedia wonder, testing came to a grinding halt."
Disgusting. Reply
faxon - Thursday, July 16, 2009 - linkthe point wasn't to be funny (well given it was, but not for that reason), the point was that they are putting the board through a round of torture tests to see if it breaks. the comparison was rather accurate, regardless of how "PC" it was Reply
dmv915 - Thursday, July 16, 2009 - linkI can't believe no one noticed this. I was reading through the article, and was like, "Impossible, you can't unlock the Athlon II x2 because it's a true dual core." Then I realized that he meant the phenom II 550, please make a correction to the article I was completely thrown off. Reply
johnsonx - Thursday, July 16, 2009 - linkI noticed that too. But everything in the article, including the screen shots, seems to indicate they did in fact unlock an Athlon II X2 550BE. Yes, I know, we were all led to believe Athlon II's are a new true dual-core die based on the Phenom II architecture so there should be nothing to unlock.
More explanation would be welcomed.
sprockkets - Wednesday, July 15, 2009 - linkIn order to take advantage of nVidia's PureVideoHD, you need Media Center Classic Cinema Ed, or say a special build of mplayer on Linux.
Any such support for it on free programs other than crappy WinDVD or Cyberlink software or on Linux? Reply
Spoelie - Thursday, July 16, 2009 - linkMPC:HC is free.. Reply
sprockkets - Thursday, July 16, 2009 - linkWait, OK, seems that both ATi and nVidia work with DXA right?
Well, I'll probably still get the Zotac 9300 board w/Pentium DC anyhow. Reply
Spoelie - Friday, July 17, 2009 - linkIt works with both, with the following caveats:
*ATi only supports *some* videos, in essence those with 4 or less ref frames @1080p, or 9 or less ref frames @720p - Nvidia supports ALL videos, as long as the card has PureVideo2 (I think, dunno about the 9300 chipset).
*ATi does provide VC1 decoding support while nvidia does not, but VC1 decoding is lighter on the processing requirements compared to H.264 anyway, so don't know if that's a big deal. Reply
sprockkets - Thursday, July 16, 2009 - linkBut does it work with ATi stuff? Same question goes for Linux. Otherwise, I'll have to stick with nVidia stuff. Reply
psychobriggsy - Wednesday, July 15, 2009 - linkGood to hear that the integrated graphics is good enough for all but non-casual gaming. Surely this will be very popular in media PCs once it is released. Indeed it is good enough to put off the purchase of something now if you are going to be building a media PC.
What was the performance like when it was overclocked to over 1GHz, as you article says you did?
Next step, AMD's southbridge...
(weird, this comment post page was just redirecting to Anandtech's search page just now) Reply
mindless1 - Thursday, July 16, 2009 - linkIt's not good enough for all but non-casual gaming, you don't have to be a hardcore gamer to plop down $20 on last year's title and find you can't play at native resolution on a cheap 22" LCD.
There is no reason to think it's particularly popular in HTPCs, several IGPs do HD decoding and any small gains are irrelevant compared to driver support for any of them, a point also mentioned in the article.
It's just senseless to pretend performance matters in an IGP compared to basic HD and driver support, when systems cost at least $300 and a proper video card costs no more than the cost of a couple discounted games or one new game.
I appreciate that IGPs are boring and an article has to try and find the differences, but it is also useful to remember that tiny evolutionary differences should be seen for what they are, IGPs almost always get a tiny bit faster so basically 785 is just another disappointment in being nothing more than a minor, industry typical, gain.
That's not to put down the IGP or IGP products in general, it is great they have the performance and capabilities they do now, but in the end we have reached the point where gaming performance from them is still irrelevant and HTPC was already as mature as it needs be and will be for the next few generations so ultimately their goal should be to lower price so it is more attractive in systems where a system integrator would otherwise pick something else (like an Intel chipset) to lower costs. Reply
Spoelie - Thursday, July 16, 2009 - link*For games like the sims that reach popular mass, IGPs do a good enough job, and the difference in performance matters for this. Also with the introduction of the 3D accelerated desktop, the baseline performance expected of an IGP took a sudden jump and Intel was caught with their pants down. Another such jump will occur as compute shaders/opencl becomes more and more prevalent (timeframe big unknown tho), performance will matter more, but by then we're probably talking about IGPs as part of the CPU.
*The differences in HD support are big enough that one would be unsuitable while the other barely passes. 6ch vs 2ch LPCM, H.264 L4.1 vs L5.0 support, ... These differences still exist today so I don't agree that HTPC has reached a point of maturity, they still need to step up their game. Reply
gipper - Wednesday, July 15, 2009 - linkSpeaking of LPCM, has there been any progress with playing back Blu-ray discs or rips without the software downsampling the audio? Reply
brausekopf - Wednesday, July 15, 2009 - linkThe chipset heatsink seems to take a lot of space.
And if there is enough room will a card be roasted
by the heatsink?
Otherwise: I like to see the floppy port and hope
to see a PS/2 port. Reply
mamisano - Wednesday, July 15, 2009 - linkAny word on this being used as the basis of a 795GX chipset? Would be a nice option to the 785G if it included higher clock speeds (binned chips?) and side-port memory.
Can't wait to see the full review next month :) Reply
AlB80 - Wednesday, July 15, 2009 - link760G/780V/780G/790GX has the same crystal. If there will be new chip then all of them get it (maybe with 760G exception).
RadnorHarkonnen - Wednesday, July 15, 2009 - linkWhen will this land on lappy land ? HD3200 had very low penetration, i would if this chipset will be associated with Turion CPUs. It was a nice way to have a decent GPU with HDMI and some bells and whistles.
Thanks Reply
Spoelie - Wednesday, July 15, 2009 - linkWill AMD update their drivers to include support for AVC L5.0/5.1 spec decoding? Currently 4.1 is supported as this is the spec BluRay uses.
While one can argue the relevance of the L5.0 spec outside of "scene releases" if there are currently no broad consumer products like BluRay that use it, but there are 2 problems with that:
*As indicated, there are official trailers released in this spec, and I assume as time passes, more material will use it.
*Regardless of its use, NVIDIA DOES support L5.0 spec, this will drive the HTPC nut (and warezerers) to their cards = lost sales
The hardware should be capable, it's purely a driver issue. Reply
R3MF - Wednesday, July 15, 2009 - linkIt is rumoured to keep the 40 shaders of the previous generation.
And yet we know that the smallest 4xxx series chip used 80 shaders.
So, is the 785G a rebranded 3450 chip, or is it a cut down 4350 chip?
And why did AMD decide to cede leadership of the IGP to nVidia/Intel after ruling the roost with the 780G for so long? This new IGP should have had a genuine 80 shader 4xxx series GPU. Reply

AlB80 - Wednesday, July 15, 2009 - link1. RS785G is just respin RS780G. It's has same 40 ALU, but DX10.1 capable. Additional it's has UVD2 instead UVD+.
So, it's looks like step from HD2400 to HD3400 in 3D, and from HD3xxx to HD4xxx in video acceleration.
2. Anybody knows are there HD4xxx changes in the texture and ROP units? If it so then HD4200 is indeed HD4xxx core, but most weakest of all. Reply
mczak - Wednesday, July 15, 2009 - linkThere are quite a few differences between rv6xx and rv7xx chips. ROPs can do twice the amount of z comparisons, plus handle msaa natively without shader resolve.
Texture units no longer handle FP16 textures in one clock, but much smaller in size plus seem to have improved efficiency. And more importantly, tmus are no longer shared across shader clusters, but each cluster has its own quad-tmu (thus, a 40SP part with 4 tmus would have 1 shader array with length 8, instead of a rv6xx part where such a part will have 2 arrays with length 4).
All rumours seem to say rv620 graphic core, though. Reply
AlB80 - Wednesday, July 15, 2009 - link1. I did a typo. I known about changes inside HD4xxx, my question was are this changes applied to HD4200? Without this information we can't say what is it. rv620 or cutted rv710.
2. rv730 has length 4. It's looks like very flexible architecture. Reply
mczak - Wednesday, July 15, 2009 - linkwell without these changes it wouldn't be a rv7xx part.
And rv730 has shader array length of 8, just like rv710 (rv770/rv740 have array length 16). Not to say that a even more cut down version couldn't have 4, but this would mean two shader arrays (with 40 shader units), hence 2 quad-tmus (8 texture units). Reply
AlB80 - Thursday, July 16, 2009 - link1. Note. rv670 have 4 arrays with length 16.
2. When I say "cutted rv710" I mean that one array will be removed at all. And then cutted rv710 will be architectural look like rv620. And only information about texture and rop units can discover the truth. Reply
mczak - Thursday, July 16, 2009 - linkI don't follow you there. Sure rv670 had 4 arrays with length 16. Hence 16 tmus (need as many tmus as shader length since they are shared across arrays). But with rv7xx, you can't have 2 shader arrays with 4 tmus since each array has its own quad-tmu (I guess though it would in theory be possible to have two dual-tmu blocks but then you're talking more difference to rv7xx parts). Hence one array with length 8. But the rv620 had two arrays with length 4.
But I think it really is rv620 - there was some statement somewhere it supports hybrid-crossfire with HD34xx - I doubt that would be possible with a rv7xx part.
Anyway, looks like it will soon be on sale so someone will figure it out... Reply
AlB80 - Thursday, July 16, 2009 - linkI understood. Reply

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo men's basketball program improved to 3-2 on the season with a 66-54 win over visiting Puerto Rico-Bayamon on Wednesday afternoon in non-conference action at the Marion Bowman Activities Center.
While shooting just 41 percent from the field compared to the visitors' 46 percent outing, junior Tom Neary was one of a trio of Lions that reached double-digit scoring in the 12-point victory. The 6'7" forward scored 15 points in the game, with 11 coming from the free throw line. Marcus Ruh followed with a 13-point effort while Trent Thomas added 12 points in the win.
Dominating on defense, Neary and Thomas were two of three Lions with a game-high seven boards as Saint Leo only allowed the visitors from Bayamon, Puerto Rico three offensive rebounds. The Lions 11 offensive pulldowns allowed them to notch 12 second-chance points.
A weakness in the Stetson loss became a strength for the Lions as they shot 84 percent from the free throw line, where 22 of their 66 points originated. As free throws proved to be the deciding factor in the win, with the Cowboys actually making more shots from the field, the Lions only afforded UPR 10 chances from the charity stripe.
Peter Ruiz led the visitors with 13 points as 12 Cowboys (0-1) saw playing time in their first game of the 2011-12 season.
The Lions will now take a break for the Thanksgiving holiday before returning to action on Saturday afternoon when they host Trinity College (Fla.). Tip off for the game is scheduled for 4 p.m. at the Bowman Center.

"Manawa" means "time." Mailani has taken the "time" to develop her craft. First with the very successful and award-winning duo Keahiwai, next with the all girl powered Mighty J and at last taking center stage with her first solo album, Mailani. Mailani won her "Female Vocalist of the Year" and the respect of fans and the music community as a top notch solo artist and composer.
Mailani has taken the "time" to honor her culture and hone her craft. She speaks Hawaiian and has studied voice under one of the true greats, Teresa Bright.
Manawa is proof of the evolution of a true artist. An artist that has performed all over the world. An artist that has become a better singer, a better composer, a more commanding performer, a more accomplished guitarist, a tender Hawaiian poet. Mailani is taking her craft to new heights with her brand new CD Manawa.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Announces Schedule For MET MUSEUM PRESENTS
MET MUSEUM PRESENTS – JANUARY 2013 is a series of Performances and Talks at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Performances & Talks Include: Jordi Savall Performing in the Spanish Renaissance Vélez Blanco Patio; DJ Spooky's The NAURU ELEGIES, a Live Performance/Multimedia Event, Companion Talk, and Tour of the Galleries for Oceanic Art; Paco Peña Flamenco Dance Company; Metropolitan Museum Artists in Concert 10th Anniversary Season.
On Friday, January 11, 2013, at 7:00 pm in The Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium, Metropolitan Museum Artists in Concert:
"It's hard to find better chamber-music playing in New York than in the cellist Edward Arron's series," said the New Yorker about the Metropolitan Museum Artists in Concert. For its 10th anniversary season, the ensemble's artistic coordinator, cellist Edward Arron, has assembled three programs of the lively mix of repertoire that has elicited critical praise over the last decade. In this first program, Reiko Aizawa, piano; Colin Jacobsen, violin; Nicholas Cords, viola; and Edward Arron, cello, perform a Boccherini String Trio; Kurtag's Jelék for Solo Viola, Op. 5; and Dvorák's Piano Quartet in D Major, Op. 23.
This series is made possible in part by Isabel C. Iverson and Walter T. Iverson.
In addition to leading the Metropolitan Museum Artists in Concert, cellist Edward Arron is also the artistic director, host, and resident performer of the Musical Masterworks concert series in Old Lyme, Connecticut (succeeding Charles Wadsworth), as well as concert series in Beaufort and Columbia, South Carolina. He is also the artistic director of the Caramoor Virtuosi, the resident chamber ensemble of the Caramoor International Music Festival.
Tickets are priced at $35.
On Friday, January 18, 2013, at 7:00 pm in The Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium, THE NAURU ELEGIES – A live performance/multimedia event featuring Members of Face the Music; Part of The Met Reframed: DJ Spooky in Residence.
Paul D. Miller, aka DJ Spooky, describes his work: "THE NAURA ELEGIES is a technical synthesis of a live string ensemble (members of Face the Music, the new music ensemble comprised of some of New York's most outstanding student musicians), projected high-definition video footage, digital animation, and live internet feed of GPS coordinates of specific aspects of the island and its physical and financial infrastructure. It is an orchestration of content retrieved and processed in multiple localities, including research in New York City and documentation in Nauru. The ELEGIES are a statement of technology and media processes in the 21st century that is exponentially progressing to a more dematerialized and delocalized state.
"The Republic of Nauru is a small island in the South Pacific Ocean. It was, by consensus of several 'Great Powers,' used as a raw resource until there was literally nothing left. Nauru has been mined throughout the last two centuries for its phosphate deposits, which occupied 90% of the island. A small territory with no [other] exploitable resources, Nauru in the 1990s turned to off-shore financing and the creation of 'virtual banks' as a way of earning sorely needed foreign currency. THE NAURU ELEGIES posits that Nauru reflects many of the issues facing our contemporary information economy.
"The music component of THE NAURU ELEGIES reflects colonial and postcolonial issues facing the digital economy of the 21st century translated into a string quartet, while the literary and multimedia component of the project spatializes and formalizes otherwise invisible economic flows and irreversible ecological devastation." For more information visit www.djspooky.com/nauruelegies/.
On Wednesday, January 23, Paul Miller will host a companion conversation to THE NAURU ELEGIES, IN/VISIBLE: THE ECONOMY, ENVIRONMENT, AND CULTURE OF THE ISLAND NATION, and on Saturday, January 19, he leads a public tour of the galleries for Oceanic Art (see below).
The Met Reframed, an unprecedented Metropolitan Museum artist residency, breaks new ground as a collaboration between artist and institution. The Met's Limor Tomer, General Manager of Concerts & Lectures, conceived this year-long association as an opportunity to engage the curiosity and talents of the composer, multimedia artist, and writer Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky That Subliminal Kid with the extensive artistic and human resources of the Museum to create both new work and dialogues between artists, scholars, curators, and Museum visitors.
The Met Reframed is made possible by Marianna Sackler.
Tickets are priced at $30.
On Saturday, January 19, 2013, at 7:00 pm in The Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium: Paco Peña Flamenco Dance Company – Flamenco Vivo
Paco Peña, guitarist, composer, dramatist, producer, and artistic mentor, returns to New York with his Flamenco Dance Company, a "revelatory troupe" (New York Times), to present Flamenco Vivo, a journey into the heart of Andalucía featuring the intensity, depth, and raw energy that have become the maestro's trademark. The company features a stellar cast including guitarists Rafael Montilla and Paco Arriaga, vocalists José Ángel Carmona and Cristina Pareja, percussionist Julio Cesar Alcocer, and three dancers: Ángel Muñoz, noted for his "regal, smoldering dancing", the commanding Ramón Martinez, and Charo Espino, who has been said to "distill a whole dance tradition through the eloquence of her hands".
Paco Peña Flamenco Dance Company is co-presented by the World Music Institute.
Paco Peña embodies both authenticity and innovation in flamenco. As guitarist, composer, dramatist, producer, and artistic mentor he has transformed perceptions of this archetypal Spanish art form. Since 1970 he has performed regularly with his own hand-picked company of dancers, guitarists, and singers in a succession of groundbreaking shows. The Paco Peña Flamenco Dance Company has taken flamenco into the realm of music-theatre with regular seasons in London (Royal Festival Hall, Sadler's Wells Theatre, and Barbican) and festival appearances in Edinburgh, Adelaide, Amsterdam, Athens, Israel, Istanbul, Singapore, and Hong Kong. For more information visit www.pacopena.com.
Tickets are priced at $60.
On Friday, January 25, 2013, at 7:00 pm in the Vélez Blanco Patio, Jordi Savall: LUDI MUSICI, AN EXPLORATION OF THE CREATION OF THE MODERN ORCHESTRA.
Jordi Savall, who has been described as an "early-music superstar", returns to the Met for a program titled LUDI MUSICI, AN EXPLORATION OF THE CREATION OF THE MODERN ORCHESTRA featuring music by JohAnn Hermann Schein, William Brade, Samuel Scheidt, and Johann Rosenmuller.
This performance will take place in the unique Vélez Blanco Patio, which has been recognized around the world as one of the jewels of early Renaissance Spain and which melds indigenous Gothic and Hispano-Moresque architectural elements.
This program is developed in collaboration with the Juilliard School's Historical Performance Department.
Jordi Savall has been a celebrated figure in early music for three decades. He is known for singlehandedly reviving the viola da gamba's prominence onstage and for rediscovering forgotten musical gems. To view Jordi Savall's biography click here.
Tickets are priced at $90.
Every Friday and Saturday, 5:00-8:00 pm on the Balcony Bar-Free with admission,
ETHEL and Friends.
ETHEL, the acclaimed string quartet that has been described as "a necessary jet of cold water in the contemporary classical scene," began as resident ensemble at the Metropolitan Museum's Balcony Bar in October. Marking the first time that a prominent musical group has been featured in that venue, ETHEL will perform there each Friday and Saturday night on a regular basis, sometimes with friends and collaborators, throughout the year. The quartet will also select musical groups from ETHEL's expansive list of notable colleagues to perform when the group is on the road. This new programming initiative will provide a variety of musical experiences to Met audiences delivered by a range of ensemble types and compositions.
Click here for the schedule of performers.
The Balcony Bar serves appetizers and cocktails on the second-floor balcony overlooking the Great Hall. Three sets of performances between 5:00 and 8:00 pm will take place each Friday and Saturday. Free with Museum admission.
Talks and Special Gallery Tours:
On Saturday, January 19, 2013, at 4:00 pm, Public Gallery Tour: DJ Spooky in the Galleries for Oceanic Art. Part of The Met Reframed: DJ Spooky in Residence.
This free gallery tour gives an unprecedented opportunity to look at the Oceanic galleries with an artist's gaze. Paul Miller, aka DJ Spooky, shares what draws him to the South Pacific and what about that area of the world inspired his new project, THE NAURU ELEGIES (performance, January 18). While ticketed in advance, the program is free with Museum admission but limited to 90 participants.
The Met Reframed is made possible by Marianna Sackler.
Tickets: Free with Museum admission, reservation required.
On Wednesday, January 23, 2013, at 6:00 pm in Bonnie J. Sacerdote Hall, IN/VISIBLE: THE ECONOMY, ENVIRONMENT, AND CULTURE OF THE ISLAND NATION. A Companion Conversation to DJ Spooky's THE NAURU ELEGIES. Part of The Met Reframed: DJ Spooky in Residence.
In this companion conversation to his evocative multimedia piece THE NAURU ELEGIES (January 18), Paul Miller, aka DJ Spooky, is joined in dialogue by panelists including Lisa Sachs from the Vale Columbia Center on Sustainable International Investment, and Michael Gerrard, Professor and Director, Center for Climate Change Law, Columbia Law School, as they revisit the cautionary tale of the South Pacific island of Nauru, an example of how a fragile economy built on extraction of finite natural resources and mismanaged off-shore banking profits can so easily crumble under bad decision-making. "The discussion will journey through the unseen networks of the global economy," says Lisa Sachs, "and the eruptions that ensue when greed and hyper-consumerism go unchecked."
The Met Reframed is made possible by Marianna Sackler.
Tickets are priced at $30.
For tickets, visit www.metmuseum.org/tickets or call 212-570-3949.

Did you know?
Early Portuguese explorers named Plettenberg Bay 'bahia formosa', meaning beautiful bay.
You'll find the Keurbooms lagoon on the beautiful Garden Route in the Western Cape. Surrounded by some of the Cape's most beautiful beaches, as well as indigenous forest, wetlands and fynbos, it's just a five-minute drive from Plettenberg Bay.
You probably won't take much notice of the Tsitsikamma mountain range to the north, or even the Indian Ocean sparkling to your south, while you enjoy the exhilarating experience of wind-surfing or kite-surfing along the Keurbooms lagoon. You might, however, notice some of the local inhabitants – baboons – watching you curiously.
Go bird watching and identify the more than 200 species in the area. Look out for the Orange-breasted sunbird in the fynbos, the elusive Narina trogon in the forest, and the African black oystercatcher on the Plettenberg Bay beaches.
What about a round of golf on the nearby golf course? Or maybe you'd rather put on your sunhat and glad rags and watch a game of polo? Or you could just hire a rod and line and nab the catch of the day.
If you love caravanning, camping or are driving a motor home, there's a superb caravan park on the banks of the lagoon with grassed camp sites, electric plug points, braais (barbecues), fresh water taps and ablution blocks.
Relax by the beautiful Keurbooms river and sandy lagoon beach, or go across the river to Keurbooms beach and try spot the protected Pansy shell, so-named after the pansy flower with its five distinctive petals. It's a close relative of the sand dollar.
Upstream is the Keurbooms River Nature Reserve overlooking the Keurbooms estuary, where you'll find not only the Cape clawless otter and several small antelope, but also the Keurbooms tree which grows on the coastal forest edges.
Travel tips & Planning info
How to get here
The Keurbooms lies 5km from Plettenberg Bay on the N2.
Best time to visit
Any time of year but, be warned, between the beginning of December to mid-January the place is overflowing with holiday-makers.
What to pack
You will be spending a lot of time in the sun so don't forget to bring plenty sunscreen and a hat.
Where to stay
At the Keurbooms Lagoon Caravan Park. If camping and caravanning is not your scene, there's a host of accommodation options in nearby Plettenberg Bay and Knysna.

Fears are growing for the safety of a teenager who has been missing from his Worcester Park home since last night.
Billy Davenport, 15, left his home in Longfellows Road at about 11pm yesterday and his family have not heard from him since.
Police and his family are increasingly concerned for his welfare as it is believed he has been suffering from depression.
Billy is white, 5ft 8ins, slim and has light brown hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a grey T-shirt, black jeans, a black leather coat and black trainers.
Anyone with information can contact police by calling 0208 649 0456.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Federal, state and local officials are calling it a major milestone as $87 million will be pumped into the first phase of the future SunRail.
"We are working, building the trains, building the track, building ticket vending machines. W are working with local businesses to build the ridership," FDOT District 5 Secretary Noranne Downs said.
They gathered right at the future site of the Florida Hospital SunRail station, officials celebrated the federal dollars, but what does it mean for you?
"We have hundreds of people already employed and those hundreds of people are really turning into thousands of construction jobs over the life of the project," Federal Transit Administrator Peter Rogoff said.
Federal leaders say not only that, there have been a number of businesses looking to set up shop along the future rail line and its stations. So, considering it'll run 61 miles, they're calling it a win-win situation.
"You will go from today to May 1 next year, and you will have your ticket and will be riding on that train, dreaming the vision, living the vision," Downs said.

Why don't you make a request in the Tool Request forum. Probably the best way.
How would I go about updating to the newest Autopsy 2.22 ver. Currently it is 2.08. And also is SleuthKit added with this Autopsy ver because I read that Sleuth Kit must be installed before Autopsy is.
Or does it need to be added to the repo?
The enemy is no longer ignorance - It is vigilance
Why don't you make a request in the Tool Request forum. Probably the best way.
"Whatever happened to playing a hunch, Scully? The element of surprise, random acts of unpredictability? If we fail to anticipate the unforeseen or expect the unexpected in a universe of infinite possibilities, we may find ourselves at the mercy of anyone or anything that cannot be programmed, categorized or easily referenced."
Agreed, probably the best place for this request. I already had Sleuthkit 3.1.0 installed, compiled from source (all tools are placed in /usr/bin) added all the menu entries by hand under Backtrack/Digital Forensics and then download Autopsy 2.22. Untarred it to pentest/forensics, ran make and then copied the autopsy perl progam over to /usr/bin. When I click on Autopsy under Backtrack/Digital Forensics/Forensic Analysis I have Autopsy 2.22. Not as easy as installing from the repos, but I like compiling things myself. Until it is added, it's basically following the install notes for each package and doing a little extra work by hand.
Generally, more or less I would wait until it is added because I feel the fine people who make this distro do an awesome job (believe me I've used virtuallly every pentest/forensics distro there is) and there may or may not be support if something were to get messed up.

BEN Lindon was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour six years years ago after collapsing while running but he has bounced back to conquer the London Marathon in five hours and 37 minutes.
The former journalist, who now works as a tree surgeon, ran the iconic 26.2 mile course around the capital on Sunday, April 13 with his friend James Partridge, raising about £2,500 for Brain Tumour Research in the process.
The 34-year-old, of Oakfield Road, Malvern, was watched by his wife Kate and 18-month-old daughter Martha, who were given grandstand passes so they could watch them cross the finish line.
Mrs Lindon said: "They did super well and managed five hours and 37 minutes despite the heat and zero training. Martha and I were kindly given grandstand passes for the finish so saw them cross the line which was lovely. "
Mr Lindon miraculously defied doctors to father his miracle daughter despite undergoing more than 54 cycles of chemotherapy, which he was told would leave him infertile.
Amazingly, the couple are now expecting their second child and Mrs Lindon has a due date of June 26.
Mr Lindon's 26.2-mile effort was sponsored by Chris Pinder of Malvern Link-based company HD Connectivity, who arranged the couple's hotel and travel for the occasion.
James Field, 38, of Bracken Way, Malvern, ran the race in four hours and 45 minutes and raised about £900 for the Lymphoma Association, a charity he chose because a number of his relatives have been affected by cancer.
Mr Field said: 'I grew up in London and have always loved running, so it's always been an ambition to one day run the London Marathon."

Stoll Berne filed complaints on behalf of Oregon customers who were subjected to the systematic practice implemented by the bank to re-order electronic debit transactions from the highest dollar amount to the lowest dollar amount so as to deplete the customer's available funds as quickly as possible while maximizing the amount of "Overdraft Fees" collected by the bank. The lawsuit was resolved on a nationwide basis for $55 million.
STOLL BERNE, along with other class counsel, settled a class action lawsuit regarding promotional offers from Chase Bank USA, N.A. ("Chase") that promised a low interest rate for the life of the loan or until paid off. The case settled on a nationwide basis for $100 million.
On August 27, 2007, checks in the amount of approximately $175.00 were mailed to over 340,000 class members in a nationwide multi-million dollar class action settlement between Hartford Fire Insurance Company and its policyholders. This amounts to an aggregate amount of over $59 million.
On November 9, 2006, a $19.25 million settlement on behalf of 65,000 automobile policyholders with Nationwide was given final approval by the Oregon Federal District Court.
Stoll Berne filed eight proposed class actions against insurance companies (Farmers, State Farm, Safeco, Nationwide, GEICO, Progressive, Hartford and Valley Insurance Company) for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
Stoll Berne has successfully handled a number of high profile securities fraud class action suits on behalf of investors, including suits against Melridge, Deloitte & Touche, Louisiana Pacific, Assisted Living, Southern Pacific and Flir.
Stoll Berne attorneys established new law at the United States Supreme Court that will assist consumers and others in enforcing future "willful" violations of federal statutes.
The Smurfit case was a class action on behalf of the employees at a Smurfit plant in McMinnville, Oregon who were not timely paid when Smurfit sold the plant.The case settled after the Oregon Court of Appeals ruled that the employees were not timely paid.
Members of the firm represented fishing interests, Alaskan municipal governments and landowners who suffered extensive damages in the Exxon Valdez disaster in 1989. The firm assumed a leadership role in the case with N. Robert Stoll serving on the Plaintiffs' Executive Committee and as Treasurer of the Plaintiffs' Litigation Fund.
Stoll Berne has represented several Fortune 500 companies, as well as individual homeowners, in cost-recovery environmental remediation cases. The firm has also advised companies and individuals regarding contractual environmental indemnity clauses and potential contract claims for recovery of environmental remediation expenses.

WORRIED residents living close to Hamworthy Park and Turlin Moor Recreation Ground say they were surprised at how easy travellers accessed both sites.
Eight caravans and one motorhome moved onto popular Hamworthy Park on Sunday evening, while an additional three caravans were driven onto the recreation ground at Turlin Moor, just over a mile away, close to the same time.
The travellers at Hamworthy Park are the same group that were evicted from Baiter Park, Poole, earlier in the weekend, after council officials secured a court order.
Meanwhile, it remains unclear if the Turlin Moor encampment is in any way connected to the travellers moved on from Hatchard's Field, Rossmore, on Saturday.
William Pettersson, who was walking at Hamworthy Park today, told the Daily Echo: "People have been coming to walk their dogs on that part of the field and have had to turn away. It has caused quite a stir. Nobody wants any trouble. It doesn't seem to have been too hard for them to get onto the site."
Indeed, while the Echo was talking to neighbours, we witnessed a car drive along a footpath next to the car park and through where a post had been erected but was no longer there.
The car just drove over the grass to the unauthorised encampment in front of stunned witnesses.
Another resident, who asked not to be named, said he saw the vehicles takes the same route when they first filed onto the field on Sunday.
"There must have been a bollard or post removed from the car park," he added. "They just all drove through in a line...there was nothing to stop them really."
Meanwhile, at Turlin Moor, three caravans have been driven onto the car park yards from a children's play area.
Turlin Moor resident Norman Bailey said: "I'm not sure how they've got in, but last time they drove up the slope at the back of the car park.
"What the council did when they left is put all those bricks along the side of the field to stop them getting up the slope.
"But where the tractor has been coming in to cut the grass, the gate is either left open or only slightly bolted. In past year's travellers have actually broken the bolt on the gate to get in."
Norman said every time the travellers leave the area, rubbish is left and the council have to come and clear it away.
"Last year there was a hell of a lot, there was about 25 caravans. What I noticed was it was mostly the travellers kids playing on the swings, the local kids stayed away," he said.
Another neighbour said she'd be surprised if the travellers left the recreation ground before the bank holiday weekend.
"They know the timescales involved with legal procedures," she said.
"They'll be no-one working at the council on bank holiday Monday, so they'll be there until at least next week, when the kids have broken up for half term."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/1/2013 (1671 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
In the face of adversity, the Winnipeg Jets did something different than last season.
Friday night at the MTS Centre, rocked by a pair of first-period goals by Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, the Jets did not start looking ahead to their next game.
Instead they came out for the second period and returned fire against a quality opponent. The rally carried to a 4-2 victory, continuing a very good week that began on the road.
Certainly, you can call Friday night's win a measuring-stick game. But never, ever make too much of one game.
Still, it's safe to say that you don't build foundations from the top. And so the signs are there that the Jets are at least interested in turning the corner on last season's dismal defensive record.
Friday, there was plenty of eye-candy action. Goals by stars and big saves at both ends.
But what the Jets did so differently, and behaviour that will translate into progress if it continues, is that they defended better, supported the various situations that always come up in a game.
There weren't a boat-load of odd-man rushes against. The puck was managed better -- not perfectly, but better -- creating a higher percentage of success.
This, rather than offensive stats, will mark the advances the Jets may or may not make this season.
And so, there was no reason to think that old habits had returned with a wave. It's not like the Jets just paved the way for Crosby in the game's first period. Crosby can often turn little or nothing into ink on a scoresheet, or even gold. Hello Ryan Miller.
His first goal didn't appear to be that dangerous a chance coming off the left-wing boards, but a well-placed shot found an opening.
Late in the period, it was a two-on-two, which isn't that precarious in most circumstances. But this is Crosby, and he found the opening again, leaving the Jets and their fans a little on the stunned side.
But just temporarily.
Winnipeg seemed to just play on. There was certainly no wilt or tentativeness for the second and helped by a couple of large saves by Ondrej Pavelec, the team responded by not playing afraid, but with a some confidence.
The Penguins generated chances again, but the Jets had some quick answers and were as or more dangerous in the middle frame.
And with that came some confidence, so much that really, the only trouble the Jets faced was the desperation of the final few minutes.
And survived it. Not because they barely hung on, but because very little was all they really gave a very good team in the game's critical period.

FINAL: Saint Leo 11, Eckerd 3 – (St. Petersburg, Fla. –Turley Athletic Complex)
SAINT LEO STARTERS: Newcomb (CF), Vitale (3B), Twitty (RF), Moses (LF), Revell (1B), Brnovich (DH), Rawdow (2B), Torres (C), Perez (SS), Krauss (P)
ECKERD STARTERS: Dunham (CF), Moreau (2B), Spinelle (3B), Bishop (RF), Vavasis (LF), Abadal (DH), Hanson (1B), Petika (C), Andrews (SS), Cruz-Sanchez (P)
AT A GLANCE: Saint Leo (26-12, 6-7 SSC) rallied in the sixth inning to break away from Eckerd (14-22, 2-14 SSC) en route to an 11-3 rout of the Tritons. Lions' starter Brent Krauss struck out eight batters in 3.1 innings before handing the ball over to Michael Dunnigan (5-0) who would go on to earn the win for the Lions. Holding a 3-2 lead in the sixth, Taed Moses sent a two out hit into left field to bring home the first two runs of the five run inning.
- Saint Leo got on the board first, in the second inning when three hits from Ryan Brnovich, Rawdow, and Taylor Perez load the bases. The next play, two runs crossed the plate when the Tritons botched a double play on a ground ball from Chris Newcomb. Then with two outs in the inning, Vitale doubled to left-center that brought home Newcomb to make it a 3-0 Lions' lead.
- Despite striking out five Tritons in his first six attempts, Krauss allowed a run in the second when a walk and a wild pitch led to an RBI base hit from Tyler Abadal.
- After three consecutive scoreless innings the Lions broke through for five runs in the top half of the sixth. With two outs Taed Moses stroked a base hit past diving third baseman Lee Spinelle that brought home Dillon Vitale and Daniel Torres to give the Lions a three run lead. On the next play Michael Revell blooped a shallow fly ball into left field that landed right on the head of sliding left fielder Mike Vavasis, bringing home two more runs for Saint Leo.
- In the seventh, Vitale doubled for the second time this game, bringing home Torres to give the Lions a 9-2 lead.
- The Lions tacked on two more runs in the eighth when Torres knocked in two runs on a two out line drive into left field.
- Revell went 4-for-5 with two RBI in the series opening win.
- Krauss tossed 3.1 innings with eight strikeouts before leaving the game in the fourth. He gave up just one run and four hits in his time on the mound.
- Picking up two clutch RBI in the sixth was Moses, who with two outs drilled a ball into left field that extended the Lions' lead and eventually gave Saint Leo some breathing room
- Dunnigan picked up his second win in as many games and improved his overall record to 5-0 after he tossed 3.2 innings and allowed just one run. The freshman struck out five and allowed just three hits—all of which came in his final inning of work.
- Going 2-for-3 with two doubles and two RBI was Vitale.
- Brnovich collected three hits and scored a run for the Lions.
- Tallying two hits on the evening were Perez and Torres.
Saint Leo gets right back at it tomorrow for a doubleheader against the Tritons. First pitch of game one has been changed to 12:00 PM. The second game of the doubleheader will begin approximately 30 minutes following the conclusion of game one.

Cityhood: Decision day for Silverdale on incorporation
If approved, Silverdale would be Kitsap's third-largest city, with approximately 19,140 residents. Bremerton is the largest city, with 39,051 residents; Bainbridge is the second-largest, 23,025.
Ballots were mailed Jan. 25 to approximately 9,000 registered voters. Kitsap County election officials said they anticipate about a 50 percent voter turnout. That means, Silverdale could become a city with approximately 2,300 votes in favor.
Polls close at 8 p.m. Results will be posted on the Kitsap County Auditor Elections website.
Proponents of incorporation say cityhood will give residents more local say in the community's future, as well as local control over planning, public safety and other community issues.
Cityhood would also keep closer to home millions of dollars a year in sales tax revenue that is generated in Silverdale, home of Kitsap Mall. The Kitsap County Board of Commissioners Office compiled this report on the economic impacts of Silverdale incorporation.
"Here is some basic data regarding sales tax, road levy and stormwater fee impacts of incorporation, as well as some details regarding existing infrastructure and future needed capital improvements in the area," wrote Eric Baker, special projects manager in the Commissioners Office.
Below is data regarding certain revenues generated by the Silverdale incorporation area. This is not an exhaustive list and only includes the main local revenues sources that would be affected by the Silverdale incorporation.
Retail Sales Tax Revenue
Local sales tax revenue comes in three categories: retail, criminal justice and jail and juvenile services. The last two are unaffected by incorporation, with those funds continuing to go to Kitsap County after incorporation to provide key regional law and justice services. It is retail sales tax that would largely be redirected from Kitsap County to a future City of Silverdale, but not entirely. Kitsap County would still retain 15 percent of all retail sales tax revenue after incorporation.
Kitsap County has estimated that a Silverdale incorporation would reduce the amount of retail sales tax received by Kitsap County by more than $7 million, or roughly 8.7 percent of the General Fund.
Local Road Tax Revenue
Kitsap County also receives property tax revenue in the form of a road levy. This levy is separate from the General Fund and is used for road planning, maintenance and construction efforts but also includes law and justice funding to the Sheriff, Prosecutor and Clerk's Office.
Road tax revenues within the Silverdale incorporation boundary would either cease or be redirected (either partially or entirely) to the remainder of unincorporated Kitsap, with the potential of reducing County revenues up to $3.5 million or 13 percent of the Road Fund.
Stormwater Fees
Kitsap County also receives stormwater fees for the maintenance and construction of water quantity and quality facilities countywide. These fees for the Silverdale incorporation area account for $658,000 or 8 percent of Kitsap's privately-paid stormwater fees and would cease at the time of incorporation.
Along with revenues, the Silverdale incorporation area includes existing infrastructure and the need for future improvements to parks, sewer, stormwater and roads systems. Below is a list of certain facilities and their future improvement needs.
Existing Infrastructure
The Silverdale incorporation area includes substantial existing urban infrastructure including parks, facilities, roads, trails, stormwater facilities, pump stations and sewer mains. For example, the Silverdale incorporation area includes more than 241,000 feet of stormwater pipe, 3,200 feet of swales, 2,376 catch basins, 13 retention facilities, and 41 detention facilities. All of this infrastructure requires annual monitoring and maintenance.
Most of this monitoring and maintenance becomes the responsibility of the City upon incorporation, provided either through contract or new City staff. However, while the ownership of local roads transfers automatically to a future city after incorporation, the ownership of parks, wastewater and stormwater facilities must be negotiated with the new city. For example, any transfer of ownership of the Central Kitsap Community Campus, currently owned by Kitsap, would have to be specifically negotiated and publicly-approved prior to any future transfer.
Capital ProjectsThrough the 2012 Comprehensive Plan and its associated Capital Facilities Plans, Kitsap County has identified numerous capital projects in need of construction in the next 12 years (through 2025) to serve the existing and future population of the Silverdale Incorporation area. These projects include sewer, stormwater and road improvements totaling $58.35 million.
Sewer: Kitsap County has projected the need for seven sewer conveyance projects including pipeline and pump station upgrades along Anderson Hill Road, Silverdale Way and Bayshore Drive. The estimated cost of these projects is just over $21.1 million. These projects and related cost estimates do not include the area's share of wastewater treatment plant improvements.
Stormwater: Kitsap County has projected the need for four stormwater projects in the Silverdale incorporation area. These projects include stormwater detention and water quality improvements near Ridgetop Boulevard., Strawberry Creek and Silverdale Way at a cost of $3.45 million.
Roads: Kitsap County has projected the need for 11 major road improvement projects within the Silverdale Incorporation area. These projects included road widening, bridge replacement and signal improvements to Bucklin Hill Road, Ridgetop Boulevard, Silverdale Way, Anderson Hill Road and Myhre Road at a cost of more than $33.7 million.

Let me start off by saying that my SQL queries have been pretty simple since I started coding. When I say simple, I mean that I just select a bunch of information from static inputs. Now, I've come across a situation where I need to do a calculation within the query itself. Something like this:
SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Table.Rent <= ($Amount * Table.Rooms)
Rent is a column of the table and is a numeric value.$Amount is an input provided by the user and is a numeric value.Rooms is a column of the table and is an integer.
I guess I could first query the number of Rooms and do the math with some PHP code before I run a second query but that just seems like a lot of work. Anyway, if I can do math, what's the syntax? Just need an example and I can go form there.
That's a funny clip!!!
yes you can
the syntax is pretty much exactly what you have shown
test it, and see
Pretty much? I'll throw some quotes in there and see. Guess my initial testing bombed out so I wasn't sure if something like this was even possible. Now that I know there's a light at the end of the tunnel I'll get to work.
we ain't got no quotes... we don't need no quotes... i don't have to show you any stinkin' quotes!!
Rudy, where did this come from?! :rofl:
I think I managed to get it working. It's amazing what happens when I spell the table name correctly!
treasure of the sierra madres with humphrey bogart

if this launches for you in windows media player, it should loop, and it gets pretty funny after it has repeated about a dozen times...
Guess that was a smidge before my time.
... still funny.

Following is an article by Rick Katz. Rick is one of my favorite people here on the www. He really knows what it takes to succeed online and off. I was going to just quote a little of his article here, but I couldn't decide what to keep in and what to cut. So, to give you the best information I can, I'm including the whole article. Enjoy!
Don't Give Up…Follow Up
advanced list training article
by Rick Katz
"The fortune is in the follow-up"
I don't know who coined that phrase. But, truer statements are rare to find.
Now, I know you understand how important it is to build a list. That is why you are a Member of List Builder Mastermind Group.
However, the key, most significant, most vitally important use of your list is for FOLLOW UP. If you are merely building a list to just keep sending advertisements to it, your list will be of little value. If you have a great system (like we have with LBMG), you need to wisely and steadily continue to entice the people on your list who haven't joined us yet, to get off the fence and get on board.
The majority of people will not join you the first time around. There are a couple reasons why they won't.
They may not understand it at first. But, as you follow up with them and continue telling them about the benefits of joining, they may begin to understand. A light may suddenly go on and they decide they really do need our system. They may not be able to afford it…yet. But, as you continue to follow up, maybe next week, maybe next month, maybe six months from now, they do have the money available and they are ready to go.
But, if you give up and don't follow up…they will be joining something else or worse…someone else! There's another lesson here too. If YOU give up on the system, YOU will miss out on all the people you got to opt-in, but when they're ready to join, you're no longer in the program. That is why, it is so important not to just be a program hopper. You need to give things time to work.
I haven't yet found a way to get rich overnight. And I've been an entrepreneur for decades now. I joined my first MLM company over 25years ago. Getting rich in network marketing or Internet marketing overnight is as rare as hitting the lottery. So, don't count on it. Instead, get better and better at what you do. And just KEEP AT IT.
1. Make a commitment first to yourself that you aren't going to quit. You're going to keep at it.
2. Two to three times per week you are going to send a broadcast email to your list about our system. Explain a benefit. Tell about a new aspect of the program. A new lead capture page we may have. A new article or feature. Tell about the success YOU are having with the system (don't lie, be honest). Or the success someone in your upline or in our program is having. Etc.
3. Understand that for many people on your list, they will not be joining until weeks or months down the road. You need to be persistent and carefully groom them. Treat them as if they are already on your Team.
4. Become a Leader. Offer to help people. Give them your personal contact information. Think of ways to help them get started. Maybe offer to help them promote. Offer to put them in your advertising rotator. A leader is always thinking of ways to help the team, not just themselves.
I hope that you enjoyed this article by Rick.
