blanarahul - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkThe first phone which deserves to be called a 2014 flagship. In my opinion anyway. Reply
blanarahul - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkHowever, I still don't understand why LG (and HTC) cannot pull a Moto X and make the bottom bezel thin. Reply
coburn_c - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkLG put the capacitive sensor controller down there to get the side bezels thin. That and their logo. Reply
hughlle - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkI like my bottom bezzel on my M7. Gives me a place to rest the base of my thumb. And also gives something to hold when in landscape. Reply
bengildenstein - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkWhy? Outside of the faux-metal back and QHD resolution, what makes this so much more advanced than other handsets? Reply
blanarahul - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkThe right amount of software customization. Samsung does too much. Sony does too less. LG and HTC do it almost right. But HTC's camera is average.
The lack of gimmicky features like artificial bokeh or fingerprint scanner etc.
The inclusion of OIS and a (hopefully good) focussing system.
The only cons I can think of are the lack of front firing speakers and the 5.5" screen (too big for my taste). Reply
bengildenstein - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkI respect that you have your own opinions, but have you used the device to comment on the level of software customization present? Reply
blanarahul - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkNo. But I hope LG's claims about simplicity are true.. *fingers crossed* Reply
blanarahul - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkI just realized something. LG is the first OEM to use on-screen buttons without wasted bezels above and below the screen. I mean that all phones that have been released with on-screen buttons have had relatively thick bezels either above or below the display. But with G3, the bezel below the screen is thick, yes, but the glass portion of the bezel is quite thin. This means that there is possibilty that we now have the technology to create a HTC M8 like phone but with thin bezels above and below the screen (the glass part of the bezels). This means that we can finally have smaller phones with good front facing speakers. Reply
blanarahul - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkI didn't mind the fact that front facing speakers require space. I did however mind that the extra space (occupied by speakers) was in addition to the already thick bottom bezels (think the glass portion of HTC M8's bottom bezel, where the HTC logo resides). I think we can finally get rid of that useless space. Reply
blanarahul - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkWhat I mean by glass portion of bottom bezel being thin: http://c2.bgr.com/2014/02/htc-one-2-m8-display-lea... Reply
Impulses - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkMoto X and G2 both had relatively thin bezels, even top/bottom ones, certainly compared to something like the very tall HTC One (any of 'em)... Those two phones kinda convinced me on screen buttons was the way to go, you just end up making much better use of the space available. Much more so than the overall bezel space, they were not larger than phones with capacitive buttons while having larger screens, that was the crucial point for me. Up to that point phones with on screen buttons were just larger than an equivalent phone with a similar size and dedicated buttons. Reply
pjcamp - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkSamsung managed to find a way to violate my preference for function over form with their "band-aid on a hub cap" design aesthetic. This is the first device I've ever seen where I don't really care how good the rest of it is. I've also learned by installing Cyanogenmod on my S3 that Touchwiz is solely responsible for its hiccupy UI and tendency to crash.
HTC's camera is just unacceptable. I understand that megapixels aren't everything but they aren't exactly nothing either. I will occasionally print a photo for hanging on the wall. Suppose I want to print an 8x10. A typical photo printer will output at 300dpi. That means to avoid pixelation in the print I need a camera whose resolution is: (8 in)x (300 dots/in) x (10 in) x (300 dots/in) = 7.2 MP. So an 8 MP shooter is the minimum acceptable for anything beyond Instagram, and even that allows no real room for any zoom.
Sony has a high resolution camera that seems to be pretty good, but has coupled that with 16 MB internal storage. That doesn't leave much memory for photos or for anything else. There's also no real guarantee it ever shows up in the US.
It baffles me why manufacturers want to cut these weird corners. No way it saves them more than $5 or $10 per phone. Do they really think anyone who would buy a $600 phone would run away from a $605 one? Reply
coburn_c - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkTheir marketing guy is on the ball, it's like he actually reads the internet and is responding to it. Very refreshing. Reply
bengildenstein - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkI wonder if people will complain that the G3 is plastic? I bet most will argue (aggressively) that it is metal. Reply
extide - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkI am a bit upset by this, I mean, it was great to FINALLY get high-resolution displays, and they are finally making their way into laptops, but 2560 in 5.5" yeah, we have officially gone TOO FAR. Reply
tipoo - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkYeah, 538ppi seems way overkill. I get that there are benefits beyond the 300PPI marketed as "retina", but going *so* high seems like you're just wasting GPU power pushing pixels you can't even notice. Reply
RaistlinZ - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkIt's all overkill until you get used to it, then it becomes standard. 1080p was called overkill, now any flagship phone less than 1080p would be bashed as "severely lacking".
I'm sure 3 years from now 2560x1440 will be the minimum anyone will accept in a high end device. Just the way it goes. Reply
phoenix_rizzen - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkDepending on screen size, of course.
720p in a 4" screen is no different from 1080p in a 5" which won't be much different from 1440p in a 6" screen.
Yes, 720p in a 6" screen (LG G Flex, or Samsung Galaxy Mega, for example) doesn't look that great. And 1440p in a 4" would be ludicrous.
You just need to use the right resolution for the screen size. Reply
nevertell - Wednesday, May 28, 2014 - linkI wish 2560x1440 in 3 years would be the standard for desktop monitors. That, or 2560x1600. Or UHD. I'm pretty tired of 1080p dominating the mainstream display market. Reply
KoolAidMan1 - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkSeems like a huge waste of GPU power for something that doesn't yield big enough returns over 300-400 PPI displays. Android is also laggy enough as it is, the hardware doesn't need to make things worse by being so demanding.
This is bulletpoint marketing. Reply
SpartanJet - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkAgreed Adroid is laggy enough on its own, and mobile GPU's aren't strong enough to drive these resolutions as it is. I mean if it was Windows 8.1 phone I could see its UI is buttery smooth it could probably get away with driving that resolution. Reply
SirPerro - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkOh yes... Android lags a lot. Does that happen in your fanboy dreams or in 2009? Because I have a Nexus 4 which is brutally responsive, and it could be considered an average phone right now. Even my iOS friends got surprised of how snappy the phone is. Can't even imagine a muuuuch faster G3. Reply
invinciblegod - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkYeah, sorry, Android still lags somewhat in certain tasks. Of course, when people say lag they mean different things. For instance, one form of lag which definitely exists is that the movement of the screen is slightly behind the fingers' movement. The second sometimes is when the system gets bogged down, the phone becomes unresponsive. I noticed both in my Nexus 5. They don't happen often, but they are there. Also, that's not to say iOS is perfectly smooth as my ipad 3 drops frames when you drag the search bar down. But I haven't encountered an unresponsive system yet. When an app freezes or something in iOS, you can press the home button to exit. In Android, sometimes the system freezes. Reply
tipoo - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkI noticed the Moto X is better than a lot of flagships in this respect, but it rarely gets mentioned. Though I also find the Nexus 5 much improved too, so maybe you're more sensitive to touch lag. The HTC One M8 actually has a faster touchscreen response time than the iPhone 5S, as does the Note 3. Reply
tipoo - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkAnd bogging down over time hasn't happened to me since they added TRIM in 4.3 Reply
akdj - Wednesday, May 28, 2014 - linkI've got both the Note 3 and 5s. The N3 is definitely the fastest Android device I've owned, but the 5s is quicker, more fluent and definitely has a 'faster touchscreen response time'. Not that I don't love em both, but that's simply not true. One can easily disable parallax (which is by design not representative of 'delay' as seen by turning it 'off') Reply
Impulses - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkCan't say I've noticed screen responsiveness lagging on my Nexus 5, it'll get unresponsive once in a blue moon but that's usually when I've got over 100 tabs open in Chrome and I switch over to something else quickly, and even then it handles that better than many PCs (when you go over 99 tabs on Android Chrome the button changes from a # to a happy face btw). Frankly I continue to be amazed by it, feels so much better than any of the three HTCs I had before (not blaming Sense, there were aspects of it I liked, I'm sure it was the congealment of Android improvements, hardware, etc). Reply
SirPerro - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkSorry i can't comment on Windows Phone as I've never met anyone who bought that, in case you wonder. Reply
PrimaFizik1520 - Wednesday, May 28, 2014 - linkAgreed over a short period of time users will begin to notice that android lag that plagues all their devices.
This res would do well on the WP8.1 platform throughout its lifetime.
I don't know what it is, Windows just seems to have gotten their OS to run super efficient. Reply
PrimarchLion - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkCould be, but I'll withhold judgement until I see it and see it's effect on battery life. Reply
bengildenstein - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkNot if you like VR. Reply
BreezeDM - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkI really can't get past the back buttons. I tried so hard with the G2. The knock feature doesn't work when you want it to and happens randomly sometimes. I really need the side buttons. The IR blaster on the G2 had terrible range, I hope they fixed it for the G3. Reply
coburn_c - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkKnock on is one of those features that once you get used to it, you'll never be able to live without it... and it works perfectly for me. That would be why HTC implemented it, and Samsung will no doubt. Reply
PrimarchLion - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - link^ Agreed. I occasionally find myself tapping my tablet trying to get it to turn on. Also the latest update (to 4.4.2) made Knock On a lot more reliable for me. There was an issue with the sensitivity of the light sensor prior to that. To each their own but the back buttons didn't take much effort to get used to for me. Reply
Impulses - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkI wish they'd brought something like that to stock Android, that and Moto's always listening mode are some of the better OEM tweaks in recent memory IMO. Reply
efficacyman - Friday, May 30, 2014 - linkTouchControl is an app (requires root) for Nexus 4, Nexus 5, and Nexus 7 (2013) which allows you to double tap to wake. I consider it to be essential. Reply
player911 - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkMy knockon is flawless. I just do 3 quick taps (ba ba ba), every time. The IR blaster range was fine. I am able to sit on my couch and shoot the TV (55" that is pretty far away). I never use the back buttons. Honestly I forget they are back there. The Stock software on the G2 (and G3) is very intuitive and displays volume controls in the drop down notification shade whenever there is audio playing. Coupled with the Floating Text and Phone app notifications.
I am currently loving my G2 and the G3 would be a sweet addition. Personally 5.5" is just too big. The 5.2" screen already walks on my comfort line for 1 hand used. And the extra bump in resolution doesn't phase me. At 480 DPI, the G2 is just fine. Reply
Laxaa - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkLooks nice. The G2 had a very good screen to body ratio, but it felt kind of cheaply built. I hope it feels better this time around. Reply
kpkp - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - link2x Krait in the table, should be 4x ;) Reply
Brandon Chester - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkI'm sorry about that, I have no idea what I was thinking when I wrote that. Thanks for pointing it out. Reply
UltraWide - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkWhat about some pics next to Galaxy S4/S5, HTC One M7/M8? Galaxy Note 3?
Thanks! Reply
Simon42 - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkSo, HTC and LG back to including SD slots on their flagships in 2014. So who's left making top-tier smartphones without micro SD compatibility?
Also, it seems like this website's (annoying) stance on SD cards and why they should go away was wrong. Reply
kpkp - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkYeah, even Motorola started adding them, will be interesting to see what happens with the 2nd X. 2014 the year of the return of the SD cards. Reply
uhuznaa - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkGoogle has changed the way a SD can be used though. No more free for all access anymore... Reply
Impulses - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkWell, it's more secure now (might've been a hurdle for some enterprise certification/adoption?), and it's also one of the few things they could still do to differentiate. I wouldn't read that much into it tbh, the majority of people still don't care and those that do just have more choices now, yay. Reply
londedoganet - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkDear phone makers:
So, SD and SIM card slots only accessible by pulling out the battery.
This isn't 1996, mobile phones are capable of being used without a SIM card, and SD cards are called 'removable storage' for a reason. So, WHY? Reply
uhuznaa - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - link149g for a 5.5" smartphone is nothing but impressive, but the battery looks awfully small in relation to the size of the thing. Reply
Impulses - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkCapacity is right up there with any other current flagship tho, Samsung's batteries look the same... It's not like you can build it up into the camera... It'd be interesting if now that everyone's going removable again someone came out with a model that had a sealed 4000mAh battery, ball is in your court Moto! Moto were the ones that started the trend towards significantly larger battery capacities anyway... Reply
GregoryWE - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - linkIs the rear sensor being IMX135 correct? That's awfully disappointing -- still using the same sensor as the G2 and the Galaxy S4? Reply
Hrel - Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - link5.2" 1920x1080 IPS LCD 5.5" 2560x1440 IPS LCD w/ 100% sRGB
Larger? They made the screen larger? Really? It's already borderline too big, I have the G2 and I love the phone but I do wish it was slightly smaller. 5" would probably be perfect. That being said I'm 6'4" with hands that can one-hand a basketball. So if I'm saying this I simply cannot IMAGINE the market this phone is designed for... NBA giants exclusively?
Haven't gotten to the rest of the review yet, just reading that puts it out of my zone of interest. Hopefully they release one that is the exact same, in every single way, except 4.5-5".
Though I'd also be fine with it if they dropped the resolution back down to 1080p. Even that is over-kill on a phone, so going beyond what makes sense for a home theatre in a phone is even dumber.
Just noticed this isn't an article, but a 1 page blog. So guess I'm done. Reply
SydneyBlue120d - Wednesday, May 28, 2014 - linkDoes it support Qualcomm's Quick Charge 2.0 and 1080p60 video acquisition with IOS+ enabled? Reply
bhtalia1 - Wednesday, May 28, 2014 - linkLook for G3 Pro with the SD 805 processor to be released in the fall to compete with the Galaxy Note 4...worth waiting for. Reply
Chaser - Thursday, May 29, 2014 - linkRegarding the LG back buttons: its funny how on older phones groping for the little power button sliver on a side or bottom along a phone is a norm and takes a bit of adoption to get it right in the pocket, on a table etc. The G2's back buttons make that so easy and natural especially when makeing minute volume adjustments during calls. Once you go to the LG's back button layout, for such a simple change, is very effective. Reply
Chrispy_ - Monday, June 02, 2014 - linkSeriously, what's with the QHD?
I have pretty good (better than 20/20) vision and I have to use a magnifying glass to see any kind of pixelation on my Nexus 5's 1080p screen. Even with the magnifying glass the pixels are *REALLY* hard to make out, unless there's a high contrast edge without AA being applied, and KitKat seems to add AA to everything because the whole UI is rendered in 3D.
2560x1440 is just a waste of battery, requires a brighter backlight to deliver the same visible screen brightness and increases the cost of the phone for no sensible benefit. The Adreno330 is clocked 27% faster, but the resolution is 78% higher, meaning that this phone will be SLOWER at native resolutions than its predecessors.
QHD on a 5" screen - Benefits, none; Disadvantages, cost, battery-drain, maximum brightness, GPU performance at native resolution. Reply

"Small enough to know you, Strong enough to serve you well"
I absolutely love the motto of Bogota Savings Bank in New Jersey: "Small enough to know you, Strong enough to serve you well." If only other institutions would follow suit. It's a refreshing change from "too big to fail." Imagine if our government programs took this approach! Or the companies where we work, places we study or even our local auto repair shops. Small enough to know you: because you are … Continue reading

The Boxer
|The JC-31 is a lightweight, bare-knuckled bluewater brawler built to go the distance.
George Maib really likes to build boats, especially custom sportfishermen that flatten seas like a heavyweight boxer flattens opponents--with a big punch. That's why Maib, president of JC Boats of Florida, has spent the last three years bringing the custom Downeast-style JC-31 to southern waters.
Sharing his affinity for the Downeast look, I hopped a plane from New York with childlike anticipation to watch the JC-31 spar with the blue water. On my arrival, I walked down the gas float at Fort Lauderdale's 15th Street Fisheries' dock past a group of kids in a center-console Boston Whaler with a cooler full of dolphin. The kids said they'd found these colorful fish under a weed line about five miles out, so it looked like a fine day of testing and fishing lay ahead.
As I boarded the JC, the wide-open, 104-square-foot cockpit on this stripped-down fishing machine struck me immediately. My eyes were drawn forward to the starboard helm, with the wheel and Morse dual-lever controls an easy reach from the optional Pompanette chair. There was ample space for electronics above the controls, clear visibility across the cockpit, and close proximity to lines, so working a big fish should never be a problem.
Abaft the helm on the centerline, a cushioned engine cover doubles as a seat. Beneath it our test boat carried a single 370-hp Volvo Penta diesel, although JC will install almost any engine brand, single or twins. (To date, the list has included engines from John Deere, Volvo Penta, Yanmar, Cummins, and Caterpillar.) As Maib and sales manager Chip Edmonds lifted the teak-trimmed seat to show me the diesel, I noted a few grunts. The engine cover/seat is heavy. Yet at 11,000 pounds (loaded), the 31 is light for her 31'4" LOA and 11'2" beam, which could make her a good megayacht tender.
Although the boat looked tough, with her broad-shouldered beam and flared bow, the question remained: How would the JC-31 do in the ring with Neptune? Maib cranked up the Volvo Penta, and we headed out to the weed line on a fairly relaxed ocean. En route, my radar gun showed a top speed of 23 mph at 2750 rpm as the four-blade bronze Michigan propelled the boat forward with ease. (Later, during our acceleration runs inside by the Port Everglades turning basin, she hit 25.6 mph.) Although not particularly fast, the JC-31 is what Edmonds calls "a sipper." Our boat burned just 19.6 gph at WOT, yielding a nearly 150-mile range from her single 370-hp Volvo Penta diesel engine and making the most of her 160-gallon fuel capacity.
In addition to being economical and spacious, our JC-31 also showed good footwork. At one point, with the boat at WOT, Maib yelled, "Hold on, fellas," and put the wheel hard over to port, scribing a tight, nearly perfect circle, then back to starboard, carving a figure-eight. All the time the 31 performed smoothly, if a bit loudly: Our decibel meter read 101 dB-A at the helm at WOT (65 dB-A is the level of normal conversation). Additional acoustical insulation is available as an option, and I'd order it.

Fla. Gov. must act on alimony and 2 other bills
Published: Wednesday, May 1, 2013 at 9:47 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 1, 2013 at 9:47 a.m.
TALLAHASSSEE, Fla. — Florida Gov. Rick Scott must decide whether to sign or veto three high-profile bills including a controversial measure that changes the state's alimony laws.
Scott has until midnight Wednesday to act on the alimony bill (SB 718), as well as an overhaul of the state's ethics laws and a measure that increases campaign contribution limits.
The Republican governor has received thousands of emails about the bill that ends permanent alimony. The legislation also would make it harder to get alimony in short-term marriages.
The ethics bill (SB 2) and the campaign finance bill (HB 569) are top priorities for House Speaker Will Weatherford and Senate President Don Gaetz.
Scott has questioned raising contribution limits. The bills could still become law if Scott does not sign or veto them.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The opening day of the 2013 NCAA Swimming Championship started with a bang for the Lions as they began to make their mark in the National Championships. Behind some great performances, the Lions won two morning heats and claimed Honorable Mention All-America honors in the evening championship finals.
In the morning qualifying session Pawel Trenda opened the tournament in fine style placing 12th in the 200 IM (1:48.87). He would follow that up in the evening finals by improving his time to 1:48.31 and finished as the 12th fastest swimmer in the nation in the 200.
The biggest news of the morning came in back-to-back qualifying heats when Gabe Keown and Milton Alberto-Requejo each won their respective 50 free races. Keown touched with a time of 20.80 and Alberto-Requejo finished in the following heat with a time of 20.54. Also in the 50 free, Matheus Assis was on track for another top time, but misjudged his turn, still managing a 30th place, 20.69 finish.
"We had a mixed morning session," Head Coach Paul Mangen said after a whirlwind first day. "Gabe and Milton won their heats which is what we focus on doing, but the heats just kept getting faster. Matheus misjudged the wall and you can't do that at this level."
Mangen continued, "Pawel might have only dropped a little time, but the way he swam it, 'back-halving' the race, tells me he's primed and will swim great this week. The men also did a good job of racing a great field in the medley, and were just tenths off of moving up several spots. I'm looking forward to another day at this great meet."
In the Lions' final morning event, Saint Leo posted a 16th place finish in the 200 Medley Relay as Assis, Michael Cozzi, Keown and Alberto-Requejo touched at 1:36.60. Saint Leo shaved nearly four seconds off of their early swim when the foursome rallied to touch at 1:32.94 and improve to a 15th place championship finish.
Saint Leo will continue on Day Two when they participate in the 200 Free Relay, the 400 IM, the 200 Free and the 400 Medley Relay. The events at the CrossPlex in the Division II Fall Festival will be streamed live on NCAA.com and can be accessed on SaintLeoLions.com.

Tempting Kate: How to Get Kate Upton's ELLE Cover Look
The woman: Lilly Bunn Weekes, 31, New York City
The job: Interior designer, Lilly Bunn Inc. Her day is spent meeting with clients, shopping for upholstery, wrangling two young daughters, and consulting with contractors in revamping homes that range from the Upper East Side "classic six" to haute hipster townhouses in Brooklyn.
The Uniform: Sensible chic. J Brand jeans in twill or corduroy are a staple, worn with an easy Joe Fresh deep V-neck, Pierre Hardy high-top sneakers or Valentino booties, and red lipstick.
ELLE: You call yourself a minimalist, yet you love original moldings and quirky wallpaper. How do you reconcile that?
Lilly Bunn Weekes: I like to try different aesthetics, though I don't like to buy a lot of things. Maybe it's because I'm from New York City; I like to have room. I buy mostly black and navy clothes from Barneys, and I filter them with pieces from less expensive brands, like H&M or Zara, then donate all but the useful pieces at the end of the year; I think it's a space thing. I'm inspired by a lot of different things and people. I like the work of Robert Stilin, Steven Gambrel, Bunny Williams, Kelly Wearstler. Seeing a friend's house, you learn everything about the person in one second.
Viscose-blend sweater, Carven, $595, collection at Opening Ceremony stores nationwide. Printed cotton-and-silk pants, Dries Van Noten, $965, collection at La Maison Simons, Quebec, Canada. Druzy and diamond necklace, Jemma Sands, $525, visit jemmasands.com. Leather loafers, Giambattista Valli, $550, collection at Blake, Chicago
ELLE: When did you know you wanted to be an interior designer?
LBW: When I was growing up, my best friend's mother was an editor at House Beautiful, and they had the most gorgeous apartment you've ever seen. It had hand-painted wallpaper in the dining room and a big wood-paneled library and amazing chintzes and over-the-top everything. The first time I saw their place was when I knew that I really wanted to do that.
ELLE: Did you always know your design style? Or did you play around to find it?
LBW: It evolves constantly. The same as my fashion sense. When I first started working as a fashion editor at Town & Country, I was wearing things like a hot pink tube top with a giant red flower on the side. Now…am I going to wear the hot pink dress to every party? No. But maybe the black dress I'll wear four times that year, with different necklaces. Like with my interiors, I don't want to go over the top with really colorful fabrics and bright prints. I want the main pieces in the room to be neutral so you can rework things over time. I'm high-low: I like cheap with expensive. I want to get the most out of my things. I tell my clients, "It's my job to take your budget and get the most I can for you out of it"
Bunn Weekes flips through samples at Quadrille, in Manhattan's D&D Building.
Pullover turtleneck, Billy Reid, $295, at Billy Reid, NYC. Wool-blend skirt, Jenni Kayne, $550, at Jenni Kayne, Almont, MI. Wood and crystal bracelet, Isabel Marant, $325, at Isabel Marant, L.A. Leather front-zip ankle boots, Manolo Blahnik for Band of Outsiders, $1,075, collection at Bergdorf Goodman, NYC. Crocodile-embossed leather handbag, Alexander Wang, $1,050, at Alexander Wang, NYC

Up until Windows 8 was released to manufacturing on Aug. 15, I held out a slim hope that Microsoft would do the right thing: Make the interface tentatively known as Metro optional and bring back the Start menu. Obviously, that didn't happen. So I have a simple message for Microsoft:
Metro is just fine on a tablet. Metro is very nice on a smartphone, as long as you don't have a ton of apps. But Metro never, ever belonged on a desktop or laptop screen. No way. Uh-uh. What were you thinking?
[ Read "Windows 8 review: Yes, it's that bad" by InfoWorld's Woody Leonhard. | Download InfoWorld's Windows 8 Deep Dive special report, which explains Microsoft's new direction for Windows. | Stay current on key Microsoft technologies in our Microsoft newsletter. ]
Microsoft, you need to let desktop and laptop users get rid of Metro and you need to restore our old friend the Start menu. I know, I know, you've moved on. But it needs to come back. You don't even need to bring it back yourself. Just restore the APIs in the Preview version of Windows 8 that allowed third parties to write utilities that re-create the Start menu.
That's it! Two easy requests. No nits to pick -- just those two things. In fact, not just me, but some of your staunchest supporters figured you would relent and take those two painfully obvious steps before you released the final version.
Yes, I know you want everyone to move to Metro, and you figured shoving it in the desktop/laptop user's face is the way to do that. But admit it: You made a mistake. On the bright side, it should be easy to fix. You might even be able to roll it into Windows 8 SP1.
I realize the chances you will listen to me are ... not good. But I know you guys love to collect data about Windows usage patterns. When the multitudes run away in horror from desktops and laptops running Windows 8, you will have lots and lots of data to play with. And it's not going to be pretty. There won't be a pony in there.
Now, I know what you're going to say: People can keep buying Windows 7 retail for a year after Windows 8 ships and for at least two years preloaded on hardware by PC makers. If people don't like Windows 8, they don't have to get it, at least not for a long while.
But I have a couple of problems with that. One is that there are some very attractive enhancements in Windows 8 that have nothing to do with Metro. I asked Woody Leonhard, who wrote the definitive InfoWorld review of Windows 8 along with the forthcoming "Windows 8 All-in-One for Dummies" book about those improvements. Here's his response:
Top desktop enhancements to Win8? There are many! Really, if it weren't for the damn propensity to flip out to Metro from time to time, I'd be happy with using Win8 with a mouse. Just off the top of my head: world-class integrated antivirus, UEFI support and signed OS binaries (the Linux folks hate it, but I think it's tremendous), greatly improved wireless networking, new Task Manager, Do Not Track in IE, better sandboxing in IE 10 (which may run in Win7 -- we still don't know), roaming user profiles for Microsoft accounts, Hyper-V, and Storage Spaces for fully redundant hot backup of all data files.

Freshman Jordan scoring at record pace for Gators
Published: Wednesday, October 9, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 8, 2013 at 8:27 p.m.
When midway through your freshman season, your name is already in the Florida soccer record books next to those of all-time greats like Danielle Fotopoulos and Abby Wambach, you're doing something very special.
That's just what Savannah Jordan has done.
Jordan, who enrolled at UF early and joined the Gators for spring practice, had four multiple-goal efforts in her first 12 matches, the second-highest mark of any UF player over that span behind the five Fotopoulos had as a senior in 1998 in leading Florida to its only NCAA title.
In addition, Jordan's 12 goals through her first 12 matches were the most ever by a UF freshman, surpassing the 11 scored by Wambach on that same national championship squad.
"Like I've always said, my preparation will exceed my expectations, and I thoroughly prepared myself coming in," Jordan said. "I know that really helped me step up in the spring, and it's helping me in the fall now."
Jordan's 12 goals to date rank her among the top three scorers in the SEC.
"She's just a natural finisher," coach Becky Burleigh said. "We knew that when we were recruiting her, and she's just done a great job of taking care of her opportunities."
Jordan opened the season with a pair of goals in a 3-1 win over Florida Gulf Coast — the first freshman to score twice in her first outing since Aimee Wagstaff did so in the program's inaugural match in 1995.
She followed that by scoring all three goals in a 3-1 win over Oregon State to join Andi Sellers (1997) and Wambach (1998) as the only UF freshmen to have a hat trick.
In the process, Jordan became the first Gator player to score five goals in her first two matches.
The 5-foot-7 Jordan, who hails from Fayetteville, Ga., and was a five-year captain of Georgia's Olympic Development Program (ODP) team, may not be the biggest athlete on the pitch, but she is certainly one of the toughest.
With a background that includes three U.S. Junior Olympic gold medals in martial arts sparring and a second-degree black belt in Korean-style Taekwondo, Jordan is not afraid to get physical in the box and uses her toughness to put herself in great position to score.
"I definitely work on that a lot," she said. "If you're in the right position, then you can get goals."
Jordan has been named the SEC Freshman of the Week twice and is just the third UF player to be honored as the Disney Soccer/NSCAA National Player of the Week, joining Erika Tymrak (2012) and McKenzie Barney (2010).
"It wasn't planned at all, but I'm happy it's happening," Jordan said. "Hopefully I can just keep it up every weekend and help the team win."
Said Burleigh: "She puts it in the back of the net. She's scored more than anyone on our team did all of last season, so we're hoping that she continues at this pace."
UF (9-3-1, 3-2) is at Mississippi State (3-9, 0-5) on Friday in its only match of the weekend.
Jordan will then leave for a week-long training camp (Oct. 13-19) with the U. S. Under-18 National Team before returning to the Gators.
"That's going to be an exciting opportunity for her, and we're looking forward to her getting that experience," Burleigh said.

Why Fox News Needs To Fire Bill Sammon
Blog ››› ››› BEN DIMIERO
Any claim Fox News has to being a legitimate news organization is premised on the supposed wall that separates their "news" and "opinion" programming.
When Fox execs or network personalities are challenged on the conservative tilt of the network, they often trot out this defense. Writing in October 2009 about the then-blossoming feud between the White House and Fox News, the New York Times' Brian Stelter reported that, "Fox argues that its news hours -- 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m. on weekdays -- are objective."
In the article, Fox News senior vice president for news, Michael Clemente, is quoted as saying: "The average consumer certainly knows the difference between the A section of the newspaper and the editorial page."
Special Report anchor Bret Baier spent much of his interview with Jon Stewart last week championing the supposed division between Fox's news and editorial content. Similar to Clemente, Baier said that Fox "respect[s] the viewers' ability to discern the difference" between their news and opinion programming.
The problem, of course, is that the division between the news and opinion programming at Fox is a farce. In addition to regularly promoting dubious stories and supposed scandals that damage liberals or benefit conservatives, Fox's Washington news bureau is run by a political hack.
It's not realistic to think that all journalists are automatons that have no political leanings -- they are human. A problem arises when their politics infect their news coverage, and that's what has clearly happened in Fox News' Washington bureau under the heavy hand of Bill Sammon.
So, for the sake of argument, let's set aside the fact that Sammon has fundraised for conservative groups and organizations. Ignore that he wrote numerous fawning books about the Bush campaigns and administration, which were published by a company that exists to prop up the conservative movement. And pay no attention to his Fox News colleagues saying he is "conservative" and "coming from that point of view."
What matters is whether Sammon lets his political leanings infect his supposed "journalism," and over the course of the past few months, that has become undeniably clear.
Last year, a source with knowledge of the situation at Fox's Washington bureau told Media Matters that Sammon shapes the network's news coverage in an "often brutish way." A separate Fox source told Media Matters that they "keep hearing things from staffers about Sammon," and that "when news is being tampered with, you have to worry."
As evidenced by the series of internal Fox emails Media Matters has released over the past several months, Fox's news is certainly being "tampered with."
Some lowlights:
- In an email sent to the network's journalists during global climate talks in 2009, Sammon instructed news staff to cast doubt on established climate science. His directive came fifteen minutes after Fox reporter Wendell Goler had accurately reported on-air that the United Nations' World Meteorological Organization announced that 2000-2009 was "on track to be the warmest [decade] on record." Sammon's directive placed him at odds with the overwhelming majority of climate scientists, not to mention News Corp honcho Rupert Murdoch.
- During the height of the health care reform debate, Sammon sent an email to news staffers instructing them to avoid uses of the phrase "public option" and instead use variations of "government option" - language that had been recommended by Republican pollster Frank Luntz to turn public opinion against Democrats' reform efforts.
- Shortly after President Obama's June 2009 speech in Cairo, Sammon sent an email to Fox's journalists pointing out that Obama did not use "the words 'terror,' 'terrorist' or 'terrorism.' " Sammon's criticism, however, was misleading. Obama devoted a significant section of his remarks to denouncing and confronting Al Qaeda and other "violent extremists who pose a grave threat to our security." Nevertheless, the critique was repeated -- both by Sammon and other network personalities -- throughout the network's coverage of the speech.
This morning, Media Matters released audio of a speech Sammon gave on a pricey cruise sponsored by a right-wing college, in which he admitted that when he repeatedly speculated on-air in 2008 "about whether Barack Obama really advocated socialism," he was being "mischievous," because it was "a premise that privately [he] found rather far-fetched."
In the weeks leading up the 2008 election, Sammon used his position at the network to try to tie Obama to "Marxists" and "socialism," including sending an email to news staffers highlighting what he called Obama's "references to socialism, liberalism, Marxism and Marxists" in his 1995 autobiography Dreams From My Father.
Sammon's motivation for engaging in this "mischievous speculation" is clear: he thought he could damage the Democratic candidate for president by insinuating he was a socialist right before the election. This is not something a journalist does - it's the action of a political operative.
Sammon's use of his "news" position at Fox to advance his conservative politics makes a mockery of the supposed division between the straight news and editorial sides of Fox News. Sean Hannity using his show to repeatedly push absurd conspiracy theories about Obama's birth certificate is not balanced out by a Washington managing editor that goes on-air right before an election and suggests the Democratic presidential candidate is a socialist, even though he "privately" doesn't really believe that.
Fox News is an organization that is almost devoid of accountability. It is, after all, the network that refused to even comment on the fact that one of their hosts publicly revealed himself as a 9-11 truther. But if Fox wants to continue to defend its news programming as separate and distinct from its openly conservative opinion programming, something has to give.

Print Ariat International has been providing boots since 1993. Co-founders Beth Cross and Pam Parker both realized in 1990, that many traditional English and Western riding boots were not suitable for equestrian riding. With their expertise and with a footwear background, they realized there was a need for improved riding boots for men, women and kids. Using their knowledge in athletic footwear, they began making performance enhancing changes to their riding boots, giving these athletes an edge. Ariat Boots quickly became known as the most innovative and performance riding boots. They provide the same technology in men's riding boots, women's riding boots and kids riding boots. They totally redesigned the traditional outsole, arch support and last shape and took Ariat Boots to the next level in riding boot technology. While building the technology into these western riding boots, Ariat had hundreds of top riders help design and develop their final product. Today Ariat is the world leader in performance equestrian footwear as well as offering the most stylish western boots on the market. Ariat Boots offers a wide range of products from English and Western riding boots, work boots and casual boots. Their forward thinking and performance lines outfit today's most avid equestrian riders and enthusiasts.

A TEACHER has been banned from the profession after sending sexual messages to a male pupil.
Victoria Ayris, who is from the Accrington area, was barred from the classroom after the Professional Conduct Panel outcome.
The panel, which met in private before publishing the decision, concluded Ms Ayris was guilty of unacceptable professional while employed at Castlebrook School, Bury.
After the headteacher's suspicions were roused she sent a desperate message to the Year 11 pupil begging him to delete everything.
The hearing found she sent more than 2,000 text messages to Pupil A between February 2012 and November 2012 containing sexual content, personal details and photographs of herself using the messaging service Whatsapp.
Although messages were "sexual and graphic", the photographs in the evidence bundle were not of a sexual nature.
Ms Ayris was employed at the school from 2008 until 2013 as a chemistry teacher. She began exchanging text messages with a Year 11 boy referred to as Pupil A in February 2012.
Ms Ayris, who was Pupil A's chemistry teacher send messages described as "varied and included some content of a personal and sexual nature". In November 2012, concerns were reported about Ms Ayris leading the school's headteacher, to warn Ms Ayris not to make further contact with Pupil A.
However she sent the following: "Delete my phone number and all messages including Whatsapp – don't ask why just do it – your mum will want to see your phone when you get home".
The panel also considered the school's Professional Relations Policy which confirmed that personal mobile telephone numbers should not be shared with learners other than in an emergency situation and that Ms Ayris was aware of this policy.
The panel concluded: "Teachers uphold public trust in the profession and maintain high standards of ethics and behaviour, within and outside school, by treating pupils with dignity, building relationships rooted in mutual respect, and at all times observing proper boundaries appropriate to a teacher's professional position.
"The Panel considered the volume, timing and nature of the texts and is satisfied that the conduct of Ms Ayris fell significantly short of the standards expected of the profession."
The decision means Ms Ayris is prohibited from teaching indefinitely and cannot teach in any school, sixth form college, relevant youth accommodation or children's home in England. She may not apply for a review until 17 June 2016, and without a successful application, remains barred from teaching indefinitely.

The Harold Porter Botanical Gardens offers you 200ha of the finely bushed plants endemic to this area, known as fynbos, 190ha growing naturally and the rest cultivated.
These botanical gardens, located near Hermanus, lie within the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve, South Africa's first UNESCO-proclaimed biosphere reserve.
The vivid Disa uniflora is one of many rare plants featured in these gardens, and to experience it when it is in bloom, make sure you visit the gardens between December and January. You should also not miss South Africa's national flower, the King protea, which blooms in spring.
There are over 100 species of birds to be spotted in these botanical gardens, including colourful sunbirds, rare Protea seedeaters, Verreaux's eagles and Jackal buzzards. Also look out for the resident mongooses, baboons, genets and porcupines.
Venture along the many natural trails that snake across the gardens for beautiful displays of Cape fynbos, and enjoy the experience against the backdrop of the area's majestic mountains.
Listen to the grunting calls of baboons and watch them play, jumping from tree to tree and basking in this pristine natural setting. Summertime will welcome you with open-air concerts at sunset, so make sure you join in the celebrations.
Don't forget to visit the garden's small but excellent art gallery and then wrap up your visit with a meal at the restaurant or stretch out on the lush grass for a picnic.

Few housewares companies are able and willing to drop $3.5 million for 30 seconds during the Super Bowl.
That was the going rate this year. But it didn't deter soda machine marketer SodaStream from running its exploding soda bottle spot during the second half of the big game (CBS reportedly rejected a version of the commercial showing the destruction of bottles by two of the game's big-time sponsors, Coke and Pepsi).
Running a Super Bowl ad is a badge of honor for upstart companies and brands, a chance to proclaim your arrival alongside the world's biggest ad spenders on the world's biggest ad stage.
World's Biggest Stage
Some might recall Fred Astaire dancing with a Dirt Devil during the 1997 Super Bowl; and colorful George Foreman grills by Salton prancing across the screen during the 2001 game.
Such spots signify major achievements for their companies. They can generate valuable brand awareness and press buzz. But 30 seconds during the Super Bowl don't necessarily guarantee a sustained consumer response.
Few companies in the housewares arena can afford a multi-million dollar Super Bowl ad, or, for that matter, any type of prolonged needle-moving consumer TV advertising campaign. Even the most successful As Seen On TV marketers deploy a direct-response methodology that is considerably more affordable and measurably less risky than the extended outlay required of traditional TV advertising.
Taking Chances
Without huge, steady ad budgets required to sway viewers, many of the most successful consumer brands in the housewares business have had to be built on the backs of the retailers who took chances on the brands before any amount of meaningful consumer promotion was in place to support retail distribution.
Indeed, retail shelf space remains the most cost-effective consumer billboard for most housewares companies.
The opportunity to engage the consumer directly has widened in today's digitally connected universe. Social media has emerged as what appears to be an irresistibly low-cost alternative to traditional consumer advertising.
Consumer Engagement
But what good is starting an online discussion about a product if people can't find it on the retail shelves? Developing great products and working closely with retailers to get them on the shelves is still one of the best ways to engage consumers in housewares.
That means retailers must share the burden and risk of helping to build the demand for promising new housewares products. The reward for retailers can be a leading-edge stake in the most successful new product; and an even bigger payoff if and when some of those products advance to more prominent consumer advertising strategies.
Kudos to SodaStream and all the housewares companies and brands that have reached the big ad stage. But it shouldn't be forgotten they earned that privilege on the merit of compelling products and by securing the support of independent and national retailers that embraced the potential of the products before any national TV advertising campaign was in the picture.
That's what puts most housewares products on the shelves, and that's what keeps them there. More so than any 30-second Super Bowl commercial.

A MOTORIST escaped with minor injuries when his car came off the A64 near York and ended up on its side in a ditch.
Police said the single-vehicle accident, involving a black Vauxhall Corsa, happened at about 6.30am today on the eastbound carriageway near York Racecourse.
The vehicle came to rest facing in the wrong direction and against a tree, with its roof damaged and windscreen shattered.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesman said the male driver managed to climb out of the vehicle and walk to a property to seek help. He said the cause of the accident was being investigated.
The accident comes less than a fortnight after a car on the westbound carriageway near Bilbrough Top crashed into a ditch, killing its 30-year-old femaie driver.

A MAN in his 20s is believed to have been attacked in a back lane in Clayton-le-Moors.
Police were called to the rear of Barnes Street at around 8.30am yesterday after being alerted by the ambulance service that the man appeared to have been assaulted.
But police have so far been unable to determine what happened to the victim as he suffers from memory loss and has not been able to give them a statement.
A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: "We attended and there was a male who who was conscious and breathing but it looked like he had been a victim of an assault.
"He was taken to the Royal Blackburn Hospital with injuries consistent with being assaulted but this person suffers from memory loss so he cannot remember anything of what happened.
"We have made inquiries and officers have arranged with his mum to go and see him at his home.
"His mum believes some of his memory might come back when he has had a chance to rest."
Anyone with information about the matter should contact police on 101.

Oh, look at the happy javelinas
All covered in bristly brown hair.
Some of them live in rainy jungles,
And some like the dry desert air.
Make way for the hungry javelinas.
They're searching for goodies to eat
Like fruit, crunchy roots, and even cactuses—
Oh, what a prickly, green treat!
It's nap time for baby javelinas
After they've eaten their meals.
And when they wake up they will be ready
To run and play games full of squeals.

Engines — Elizabeth
Ginns Britten, Capt. Ken Kreisler, and Capt. Patrick Sciacca
2004 Engines Preview
|Diesels: Cummins MerCruiser
Cummins MerCruiser has three new engines for 2004: the 2.8 ES 200, the QSB5.9-380, and the 1.7 MI 12D.
The QSB5.9-380's roots go back to the Cummins 6BTA5.9, and it is the first in the company's new fully electronic, low-emissions Quantam engine series. A 5.9-liter diesel, it produces 380 hp at 3000 rpm. Noteworthy is its high-pressure common-rail fuel system, which is said to enhance economy, improve the power-to-weight ratio, offer cleaner starting, help eliminate smoke and odor, and reduce noise. Vertically mounted fuel injectors are said to make for more efficient combustion and better durability. The engine also includes a new cylinder head with four valves per cylinder, allowing the engine to breathe better, which translates to increased acceleration and torque.
The 2.8 ES 200 is a direct-injection, in-line four offering 200 hp and designed to power stern drives. It's a more powerful version of the company's 2.8L engine and is also offered in an inboard version, the 2.8 EI 200. A counterbalance has been added to reduce engine vibration, and the company moved the heat exchanger to the side of the engine to reduce its overall size to just 37"x30"x31". A new waste-gated turbocharger is said to provide faster acceleration and reduce smoke.

ASCO Annual Meeting
June 3, 2012
A long-term study shows that a combination of bendamustine (Treanda) and rituximab (Rituxan) keeps two uncommon types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), indolent (slow-growing) lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma, from worsening longer than standard chemotherapy. Bendamustine and rituximab are drugs called targeted therapies. Targeted therapy is a treatment that targets the cancer's specific genes, proteins, or the tissue environment that contributes to cancer growth and survival.
For a long time, the standard treatment for NHL has been rituximab plus chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan), doxorubicin (Adriamycin), vincristine (Oncovin, Vincasar), and prednisone (multiple brand names). This treatment combination is commonly called R-CHOP.
In this study, patients with untreated indolent and mantle cell lymphoma received either bendamustine and rituximab or R-CHOP. Researchers found that the bendamustine and rituximab combination more than doubled the time it took for the lymphoma to worsen when compared with R-CHOP. For patients receiving bendamustine and rituximab, the lymphoma worsened nearly six years after treatment began compared with nearly three years for the patients receiving R-CHOP. In fact, bendamustine and rituximab worked so well that nearly half of the patients who had their disease worsen while taking R-CHOP were given this combination. In addition, bendamustine and rituximab caused fewer side effects, such as hair loss, nerve problems, and infections. However, patients receiving bendamustine and rituximab were more likely to have mild skin reactions, which are a common side effect of targeted therapies.
What this means for patients
"This study clearly shows that the bendamustine-based regimen is more effective and has fewer side effects than the standard chemotherapy regimen," said lead author Mathias J. Rummel, MD, PhD, Professor of Medicine at the University Hospital Giessen in Germany. "Just as important, bendamustine-based therapy allowed patients to have a better quality of life while undergoing therapy." Bendamustine has been used in Europe for decades, but only became available in the United States in 2008. The combination of bendamustine and rituximab is being used at some cancer centers in the United States. If you have indolent or mantle cell lymphoma, it's important to talk with your doctor about this drug combination in addition to all your treatment options.
Questions to Ask Your Doctor
- What type of lymphoma do I have?
- What are my treatment options?
- Are bendamustine and rituximab treatment options for me?
- What treatment plan do you recommend? Why?
- What are the side effects of treatment? How will they be managed?

Local Boy Gets Creative to Raise Money for St Jude Children's Research Hospital
Carmine Pate is just 6 years old with a heart of gold. So when his school joined the St Jude Children's Research Hospital Math-a-thon last week, Carmine decided he was going to do everything he could to raise as much money as possible for the children of St. Jude.
Carmine came home excited from school at Spottsville Elementary last week and told his mother, Charlie, that it made him sad to think those kids at St. Jude have without hair and be in the hospital all the time and take bad medicine that makes them more sick just to get well. Carmine announced he was going to raise a whole lot of money for those kids. Charlie Pate smiled at her small son's big determination but had no idea what he had in mind.
This little boy was – and is – serious. Charlie told us he's taken the St Jude donation form with him every where they've gone since he got it from school last week. At a family gathering Saturday night he even told the guests that they couldn't leave until they had donated at least $5 to St Jude!
In fact – in the 4 days since Carmine brought home his math-a-thon form, he's keeping his word about raising 'a whole lot of money'. Online, he's raised just $25 – but in checks and cash donations, Carmine has raised an additional $95. So, altogether Carmine has already raised $120 for St Jude Children's Research Hospital – and he's got until the 24th of September to turn the form back in at school! That's an average of $30 per day!
If you'd like to help Carmine raise even more money for the children of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, you can make a donation online on his Math-a-thon page by clicking on THIS LINK. We'll let you know on the 24th how much money Carmine raised for the kids!

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Saint Leo senior defender Francesca Williams ripped a shot between the posts in the 88th minute, but the Lions weren't able to overcome a two goal deficit as Lynn University cut SLU's post-season run short on Sunday afternoon. The fifth-seeded Fighting Knights upset top-seed Saint Leo 2-1 to advance to the Third Round of the NCAA DII Women's Soccer Tournament and South Region Finals.
Saint Leo concludes their epic season with a mark of 15-3-1, a Sunshine State Conference regular season championship title, and the program's fifth NCAA Tournament appearance. The Fighting Knights advance to an overall mark of 11-6-1 on the season
The Green and Gold found themselves down early in the game after Lynn's Carolyn Hartman connected a ball to Melissa Ortiz. Ortiz broke free of her defender and took on SLU goalkeeper Laura Carstens one-on-one for the first goal of the game, scoring in the 10th minute.
The Fighting Knights extended their lead to two with a goal in the 84th minute thanks to another shot from Ortiz. LU's Kirstie Schultz hammered a hard shot off the post, which deflected its way to the feet of Ortiz. Kelcee Mai, who was between the posts for the Lions in the final minutes of the contest, was caught off her mark from the previous shot, leaving Ortiz with an open look on frame for the game winner.
Williams fired her shot between the posts four minutes later in a late flurry of action, turning up the intensity and igniting the Lions in the waning moments, but Saint Leo was unable to come away with the equalizer.
The Lions led the shot count 14-10, with both teams posting five shots on target. Carstens collected three saves while her counterpart for the Fighting Knights, Meghan Dolan, set aside three of her own with the team earning credit for an additional save. The Green and Gold had 11 opportunities from the corner, with Lynn only finding the corner flag five times.

In the first round, two thirds of the applicants missed out, people began feeling conned, and even the Mayor of London missed out on tickets (although I'm sure he will be allowed access to any event he desires). Most people who applied didn't get any tickets, and those who did are still not happy with the tickets they got. If you fall into those categories, this week is your last chance!For British folks who got nothing the first go-around, a second chance sale of remaining tickets begins this Friday, June 24th, on a first-come, first-serve basis. For those who aren't happy with the tickets they received, a second window opens on July 8th. Visit the London 2012 website for more information.
The easiest tickets to get have been the ones at old venues or outside of the city, but the Olympic Park is where all the action will be! Here is a quick guide to the best remaining tickets for events that will put you right in the heart of the 2012 games:
- Athletics - Olympic Stadium. Good availability for 5 sessions, high prices (£65 - £450), early mornings.
- Women's Basketball - Basketball Arena. Good availability for 14 sessions.
- Handball - Handball Arena. Good availability for women's semi-finals on August 9th.
- Synchronized Swimming - Aquatics Centre. A chance to get into the amazing venue, with good availability for 80% of the events.

THE tragic father of a two-year-old girl who died when a TV set fell on her is facing jail after stumbling across a secret cache of drug dealers' weapons buried behind his home.
Peter Lyle, 39, a gun enthusiast, intended to hand the military ordnance in to the authorities, a court was told.
But because he had a passion for hunting and his life had been torn apart by tragedy, he became curious and fired some "dum dum" shells to test the strange weapon.
Marcus Topham, defending, said Lyle's judgement had been affected by a number of family tragedies, including the death of one of his two daughters.
An inquest heard last month that 23-month-old Lucy Lyle died when she pulled a TV set down on top of herself while watching Barney on CBeebies with her sister at the family's previous home in Beverley Road, Norton.
Scarborough Magistrates heard Lyle held weapons legally under a firearms certificate and had permission to shoot vermin on land behind his house. The court heard that a cannabis farm on land behind his home had already been raided by North Yorkshire Police, who recovered a number of guns.
But the home-made sniper rifle and large quantity of military "dum dum" bullets remained undiscovered until Lyle found them in a concealed pit while out hunting.
Mr Topham said: "He was going to hand it in to police but never got around to it."
Katie Varlow, prosecuting, said the weapon, found in a shallow covered hole, had been crudely welded together using parts from different weapons to convert it from a shotgun to a .22 rifle.
It only had a 12ins to 14ins barrel but had been adapted with a large optical sight.
She added the police officer who examined the weapon "had never seen anything like it before."
Lyle, of The Granary, Great Habton, near Malton, admitted three firearms offences involving the possession of the rifle and more than 100 rounds of military grade hollow point expanding bullets.
Magistrates declined jurisdiction of the case and Lyle was bailed to appear at York Crown Court for sentence on July 7.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Cleveland's mayor wants to make performance a key factor in deciding how much teachers are paid and to eliminate seniority in deciding who is laid off in the shrinking district.
Mayor Frank Jackson controls city schools through an appointed board. He outlined his proposals to teachers and city council members Monday.
A summary released Tuesday recommends eliminating seniority as the top factor in determining who loses a job if teachers are laid off. The mayor wants to give the school board the authority to establish a probationary period for all staff members.
He also wants to ask voters to raise school taxes to finance changes.
Cleveland's public school enrollment has dropped from 70,000 to 42,000 in 15 years. The city's population has dropped 17 percent since 2000.

Choke Canyon Threepeats: It's Another 15-Pounder
ATHENS, Texas—How many times has a lake produced three 15-pound ShareLunkers in a row?
Until Saturday the answer was once: Lake Fork, in a remarkable run during February 1991, when anglers caught fish weighing 17.08, 15.41 and 16.54 pounds over the span of just four days.
Carl Ames of Helotes changed that when he caught the latest ShareLunker from Choke Canyon Reservoir, a fish that tipped the scale at the Calliham Store at 15.27 pounds. The fish was 26.5 inches long and 21.25 inches in girth. Calliham Store is an official ShareLunker weigh and holding station.
Also on Saturday, Kenneth Shane of Burleson caught a 13.28-pounder from Lake Fork. Shane was fishing in 2.5 to 3 feet of water in the back of a creek when the fish took a white Senko. The fish was 26 inches long and 20.75 inches in girth.
Shane's fish was taken to Lake Fork Marina, which is also an official ShareLunker weigh and holding station. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is setting up a network of holding stations on major lakes to make sure that ShareLunkers are held in the best possible conditions before being picked up. A list of stations can be found at http://tpwd.texas.gov/spdest/visitorcenters/tffc/sharelunker/holding/.
Businesses interested in becoming a holding station should contact ShareLunker program manager David Campbell at (903) 670-2230.

UCSF Dentistry Dean John D.B. Featherstone and the UCSF School of Dentistry announce that John S. Greenspan, BSC, BDS, PhD, FRCPath, ScD [hc], FDSRCS [Eng], Distinguished Professor of Oral Pathology, Department of Orofacial Sciences, and Associate Dean for Global Oral Health at the UCSF School of Dentistry, will retire from UCSF at the end of June, 2014, and step down from his role as Associate Dean for Global Oral Health.
Says Dean Featherstone, "I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. John Greenspan for his many years of outstanding service to the School of Dentistry, and to the UCSF campus as a whole. I especially want to thank him for being a wonderful colleague and supporter during my time as Dean, first as Associate Dean for Research, and then as the first Associate Dean for Global Oral Health."
Dean Featherstone concludes: "John has made many contributions to the UCSF School of Dentistry, and his wise counsel and untiring efforts to provide vision for the school will be missed. Please join with me in thanking him and wishing him well in his new life."
Dr. John S. Greenspan is Distinguished Professor of Oral Pathology in the Department of Orofacial Sciences in the UCSF School of Dentistry and Associate Dean for Global Oral Health.
He was, until 2009, the first Associate Dean for Research of the UCSF School of Dentistry, in which position he established the school's annual Research and Clinical Excellence Day, as well as other key programs.
As Associate Dean for Global Oral Health, Dr. Greenspan has in a short time created an entirely new program in an emerging field, placing UCSF Dentistry in a leadership position.
As Chair of the Division of Oral Biology, from 1981 to 1988, Chair of the Department of Stomatology, from 1988 to 2001, and Coordinator of Basic Sciences, from 1981 to 1995, he led much of the faculty recruitment effort, research laboratory creation, and program growth that took the school to its current position of research preeminence among US dental schools.
Dr. Greenspan is also a Distinguished Professor of Pathology in the UCSF School of Medicine. He is Director-Emeritus of the AIDS Research Institute in the UCSF School of Medicine, which he led from 2003 to 2012, and is the founding Director of the world-renowned UCSF Oral AIDS Center, as well as the 30+ year old UCSF AIDS Specimen Bank. He was Director of the UCSF AIDS Clinical Research Center/California AIDS Research Center from 1992 to 2005.
His research interests include the global health aspects of AIDS. His own work is rooted in studies of oral aspects of AIDS and the role of viruses in oral epithelial and salivary gland lesions. He and his colleagues have made major contributions to HIV research and care, notably the discovery of the lesion hairy leukoplakia, its association with EBV, and the significance of this and other oral lesions in the natural history of HIV diseases.
He was the founding co-director (with Dr. Troy Daniels) of the NIH-funded International Sjögren's Syndrome Registry (SICCA).
He has published over 300 papers and four books on oral aspects of AIDS, oral pathology, and immunopathology. He has been a featured speaker at many international meetings and has presented over 250 research papers, clinics, and postgraduate courses.
He is a Past-President of the American Association for Dental Research and the International Association for Dental Research, and has supervised and/or mentored over 120 physician/scientists, dentist/scientists and PhD scientists in aspects of pathology, AIDS/HIV, oral medicine and pathology and related topics.
He is an American Association for Dental Research (AADR) Distinguished Scientist Award recipient in 2010, and an American Dental Association (ADA) Gold Medal Award recipient in 2012.
The announcement of Dr. Greenspan's retirement follows closely the announcement that his wife and frequent collaborator Deborah Greenspan, BDS, DSc(Med), ScD(hc), FDSRCSEd(Hon), DSc(hc), DDS(hc), Chair of the Department of Orofacial Sciences (OFS), Professor of Oral Medicine and also a longtime distinguished member of the UCSF School of Dentistry's faculty, will also retire, and step down as OFS Chair at the end of June 2014.
They have both been associated with UCSF since 1972.
