|Nick Sampson '10 scored a career-high five goals for Bates.
LEWISTON, Maine -- The Bates College men's lacrosse team is off to a 3-0 start for the first time since 2006, after manhandling the visiting Nor'easters of the University of New England on Tuesday night by an 18-3 score.
Bates (3-0), ranked No. 10 in this week's season-opening NEILA coaches' New England Division III poll, received five goals from senior captain Nick Sampson (Yarmouth, Maine) and two goals and two assists from senior captain David Barrett (Chatham, N.J.), while junior faceoff specialist Cody Newman (Montclair, N.J.) won 15 of 17 faceoffs and collected 14 ground balls.
UNE first-year Tyler Thomas (Pleasantville, N.Y.) figured in all three of the Nor'easters' (1-2) goals, scoring twice and assisting on the other. Junior Luke DiFiore (Gloucester, Mass.) added a goal and an assist.
Bates dominated faceoffs 19-6 and outshot UNE 49-22. The game featured a large amount of turnovers and loose balls, resulting in a 68-41 advantage in ground balls for the Bobcats. Bates was successful on 29 of 39 clear attempts, while UNE struggled for a success rate of 12 of 28, including 7 of 21 over the first three quarters.
The first quarter indicated anything but a blowout. Bates got on the scoreboard first thanks to a pair of freshmen, as Rob Highland (Yarmouth, Maine) fed Gary Guinta (Bay Shore, N.Y.) for a goal in the first minute of the game. Tyler Thomas evened the score at 1-1 in the sixth minute on a man-up goal, assisted by DiFiore. Bates regrouped for a 2-1 lead less than a minute later when Barrett passed to Highland, who rifled an outside shot past UNE sophomore goalie Nate Porter (Cohasset, Mass.). But the Nor'easters evened the score again with 4:24 to play in the quarter as Dylan Thomas fed Tyler Thomas, who scored past Bates sophomore goalie Adam Scharff (Glyndon, Md.) in traffic.
Bates went ahead for good with 2:52 left in the first as sophomore Mike Antoniou (Cumberland, Maine) found the goal for his second score of the season, assisted by junior Rory Cosgrove (Pittsburgh, Pa.). With the clock winding down on the first period, junior Evan Bagley (Cape Elizabeth, Maine) connected with sophomore Jason Hichborn (Yarmouth, Maine) for a deflating goal with 1.1 seconds left, putting the Bobcats on top 4-2.
The Bobcats extended the lead to 8-2 at halftime with four more unanswered goals, one apiece by first-year Dan Hines (Manchester, Mass.), Sampson, Barrett and sophomore Reed Brown (Portsmouth, N.H.). They made it eight goals in a row early in the third quarter, as Barrett assisted on a goal by Guinta in the opening minute, then fired in an unassisted tally in the second minute of the period for a 10-2 lead.
UNE took advantage of a Bates delay-of-game penalty, served by Scharff, with 12:17 to go in the third, as Tyler Thomas assisted DiFiore on a goal past Bates first-year goalie Alex Henrie (Lexington, Mass.) 11 seconds into the power play. But the Bobcats answered resoundingly, scoring six goals in the next seven minutes to put the game well out of reach at 16-3. A mostly uneventful fourth quarter included two more Bobcat goals, a man-up goal scored by Sampson and an unassisted tally by sophomore defenseman Neil O'Connor (Duxbury, Mass.), who collected a ground ball in the Bates zone, cleared the ball by himself and finished off the coast-to-coast play to make it 18-3 with 2:27 to play.
Tallying multiple points for the Bobcats, in addition to Sampson and Barrett, were Guinta (3 goals), Highland (2 goals, 1 assist), Hichborn (2 goals, 1 assist) and Bagley (2 assists).
Porter made 16 saves and scooped a team-high seven ground balls for UNE, while Scharff made nine saves for Bates. Senior captain Michael Nadler (Northborough, Mass.) collected eight ground balls for the Bobcats.
Bates hosts Middlebury on Saturday at 1 p.m. in its first NESCAC game of the season. The game can be followed online via Live Stats and a live audio Webcast.

text: Another step backward By Dave Hickman November 4, 2012 Story Share AP Photo Dana Holgorsen watched his West Virginia team lose a third straight game Saturday against TCU. MORGANTOWN - Perhaps West Virginia goes to Stillwater, Okla., this weekend and wins. After all, stranger things have happened.In order to do so, though, it will take correcting a litany of issues that seems to grow by the week, not shrink.Yes, there's an argument to be made that the Mountaineers improved in some areas during the off week that preceded Saturday's game with TCU. But the very fact that West Virginia lost to a struggling team at home after throwing away almost countless chances to win would seem to indicate beyond a doubt that not enough improvement was made.The simple fact is that while some areas improved, others regressed. Badly. Thus that 39-38, double-overtime loss.The biggest area of improvement? Defense. It was a group that produced six three-and-outs and three turnovers. TCU averaged just 2.8 yards per rush and completed but 43 percent of its passes. The Horned Frogs found themselves punting nine times. That's almost twice as many punts as WVU's previous four opponents had combined (5).But is it really wise to look at this as some sort of defensive resurrection? TCU, quite frankly, is very limited on offense with a redshirt freshman quarterback who was thrown into the fire a month ago, its leading rusher out for the season and injury problems elsewhere.Consider that TCU went into a game against the worst pass defense in the nation with an apparent conviction to run the football, rather than trust Trevone Boykin to throw against that sieve-like secondary. The Horned Frogs ran the ball on 45 of 75 offensive snaps and threw only when necessary.Oh, and when it was necessary, they got it done. Any apparent improvement in West Virginia's pass defense throughout most of the game was erased when the outcome was on the line and Josh Boyce got behind everyone to catch a 94-yard touchdown pass with 88 seconds to play to send the game into overtime. And then a trick-play pass in the second overtime went for 25 yards and a touchdown and another completed pass won it with a two-point conversion. The more things change, the more they stay the same.But struggles with the defense are to be expected. No one thought that overnight this group would become the Steel Curtain. It was pretty much a given that the most likely way things would be turned around would be if the other parts of WVU's game rendered moot the defensive deficiencies. That was how West Virginia got to 5-0 in the first place, right?But in almost every area the Mountaineers have gone backwards.The offense is a mere shadow of its once-fearsome self. After scoring three touchdowns in the previous two games, a 38-point outburst might seem a step in the right direction. But West Virginia punted eight times, matching the number in the previous two lopsided losses combined. Of the five touchdowns the Mountaineers scored, one came on a punt return, another after a turnover and a 9-yard drive (that took four plays), and a third on the 25-yard overtime field. That means of the 19 possessions in the game - yes, 19 - two resulted in work-for-it touchdowns by the offense. The running game averaged 2.2 yards on 35 attempts. For the second time in three games, Geno Smith completed fewer than 60 percent of his passes after completing 81 percent in the first five games.In the area of special teams, there is really but one saving grace - Tavon Austin. He has five special teams touchdowns in his career, including one in each of the last two games. Coach Dana Holgorsen tried to defend his special teams a bit after Saturday's game by saying that the only real issue was the snaps and kicks. But WVU ranks 86th in the nation in punt return defense and 87th in kick return defense.Oh, and those snaps and kicks were a difference-maker against TCU. Tyler Bitancurt couldn't pick up a low punt snap from John DePalma and TCU scooped up the ball and ran it in for a touchdown. WVU's collection of punters and the coverage ranks 110th in the country in net punting. And while Bitancurt shattered his career high with a 52-yard field goal, it was the only one of four tries he made. He missed 50- and 55-yarders and had a 36-yarder blocked that would have won the game in the first overtime. And finally, the decision-making process on the sideline has to be questioned. At the end of the first half, West Virginia got the ball on its 32-yard line with 3:46 to play, leading 21-14. When two plays lost eight yards, Holgorsen elected to slow the offense and let the clock run all the way down before trying the third-and-12 play. Then Smith completed a 12-yard pass to Austin for a fresh set of downs with 2:28 left.After that came a rather passive series which resulted in a fourth-and-1 near midfield. Again Holgorsen let the clock run all the way down, and this time called time with 47 seconds. Then he sent the offense back out in a formation which seemed to indicate a quick kick by Smith. But the play blew up and Smith had to scramble, gaining eight yards and a first down. Only then did the offense display any sense of urgency, but four plays didn't go very far and that's when Bitancurt missed his 50-yarder.What happened to the offense that was aggressive and going for it on fourth down five times against Texas? Granted, the textbook way of handling that possession was to be cautious, but this was more a combination of caution and aggression, neither of which worked.Then at the end of regulation, two things. On a possession on which one first down would have sealed the game, West Virginia's offense ran a game plan designed to force TCU to use all of its timeouts, not to get a first down. It worked, but TCU got the ball back and scored anyway.And then after getting the ball back with 88 seconds and a chance to drive for a winning field goal, the offense got to the CU 38 with 41 seconds to play. And with third-and-10 from there and 24 seconds left, that's when the aggression returned, going for it all with a pass into the end zone to J.D. Woods. It didn't work and Bitancurt was left to try a doomed 55-yard field goal into the wind.And by the way, neither Austin nor Stedman Bailey touched the ball on the last possession. Austin was targeted once. He didn't touch the ball in the first overtime, either, when true freshman Travares Copeland was Smith's primary target in what appeared to be a passive attempt just to maintain field position and kick the winning field goal. Again, probably a textbook strategy. But how much of Holgorsen and this offense are textbook? That's not the way they played the game when they were winning.The bottom line is that three losses do not a ruined season make. But three digressive losses are cause for concern. A season that once seemed assured of ending well might now end prematurely. This is a team that isn't even bowl eligible and has games with Oklahoma State and Oklahoma coming up, followed by a trip to Iowa State.If there's not dramatic improvement, the Dec. 1 home finale with Kansas might be for bowl eligibility. And dramatic improvement is a lot to ask for a team that has shown almost none to date.Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or email@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/dphickman1.

South Florida Law Blog's Roy Oppenheim says we're not out of the woods yet! A second wave of Florida foreclosures will hit in the third quarter of this year, Florida Double Dip? Foreclosures, Zombie Foreclosures, Fraud-closures from Oppenheim Law on Vimeo.
Oppenheim Law Predictions:
- Government programs such as unemployment benefits as well as the reduction in payroll tax benefits are coming to an end.
- Florida banks have supposedly gotten their "fraud-closure" crisis and issues of robo-signing under control and are going to submit many new foreclosures.
- If that wasn't enough, foreclosures that were initially dismissed by the courts due to incomplete and inaccurate paperwork are now being "revived" and will also contribute to the tidal wave of foreclosures.
- Sustaining housing prices will be difficult with the ending of government programs, new foreclosures hitting, and "Zombie" foreclosures coming in because there simply isn't enough economic support.
Unless there is a surge in Florida employment, Oppenheim predicts we are heading towards another drop in Florida real estate values until early 2012.

Taveras not expected to go on disabled list
ST. LOUIS -- The ankle injury that forced Oscar Taveras out of Triple-A Memphis' game on Sunday is not expected to land the organization's top prospect on the disabled list.
Taveras rolled his right ankle sliding into second base and was immediately taken out of Memphis' game against Fresno. An X-ray taken on the ankle showed no fracture, leaving the Cardinals optimistic that Taveras will be back on the field within a few days.
Taveras opened the season ranked as baseball's third-best prospect by MLB.com. With two hits on Sunday, he bumped his season average up to .317. Taveras has hit safely in 14 of his last 18 games and is tied for the team lead with 20 RBIs. Twelve of his 39 hits have been for extra bases.

Out of 10 combined matches by the four local wrestlers, only Gunn senior Eric Cramer was victorious as he won twice before being eliminated. Cramer won his opening match at 126 pounds, 4-2, over Daniel Williams of Hughson to reach the second round. There, Cramer posted a 7-6 decision over Adam Bracamonte of East Bakersfield. Cramer then dropped into the consolation bracket following a 10-2 loss to Artemio Flores of James Logan and finally was eliminated after a 6-5 loss to sophomore Josh Cortez of Temecula Valley. Gunn senior Daniel Papp (120) and junior Sean Lydster (195) both started in the Round of 32, but neither lasted long. Papp was pinned by James Gomez of Woodcreek in 5:51 and then was eliminated in a 7-5 loss to Daniel Ruiz of Madera. Lydster opened with a 6-2 loss to Tyler Macdonald of Newbury Park before being eliminated by Oscar Martinez of Centennial-Corona in overtime, 2-1. Palo Alto senior Gary Hohbach competed at 152 pounds and suffered a 15-6 loss to Alexander Graves of San Marcos (San Diego) in the opening round. Hohbach then saw his prep career end following a pin by Vacaville's Zach Dawson in 1:36. Cramer is headed to Stanford in the fall and hoping to continue his wrestling career there. Gunn coach Chris Horpel said Papp has been admitted to several schools with strong wrestling programs and most likely will join former Gunn CCS champ Stefan Weidemann at Cal Poly-SLO. Meanwhile, the Menlo College wrestling season came to an exciting conclusion on Saturday evening at the NAIA Wrestling national championships in Des Moines, Iowa.
Eric Lopez headlined the Oaks' efforts, finishing second at 165 pounds. Lopez won his semifinal match, 7-5, to start the day and become the only Menlo wrestler to enter the championship round. Lopez met Jimmie Schuessler of Grand View in an exciting conclusion to his season. Schuessler and Lopez battled it out and were tied with time running out. Schuessler was able to score a point with just under 18 seconds remaining to earn the 4-3 decision and claim the national championship title. Menlo's Angel Garcia, Scott Brasil, and Lopez all earned All-American status on Saturday.Garcia placed third in the 133-pound division. He lost his semifinal match to eventual national champion Prescott Garner of Southern Oregon University. Following the loss, Garcia won a 4-2 decision to enter the third-place match, which he won in dominating fashion, an 11-3 major decision. Brasil lost his semifinal round to the eventual champion at 285 pounds, Eric Thompson of Grand View. Brasil then lost two consecutive one-point decisions, 2-1 and 3-2, to take home sixth place in the tournament.

No Wires. No Limits
Read the speech transcript of the ISA Wireless Summit, held in Vancouver, BC on July 23th, 2007. Presented by John Berra, Emerson Process Management.
No Wires. No Limits
Speech Transcript
Presenter: John Berra, Emerson Process Management
Audience: ISA Wireless Summit, Vancouver, BC
Date: 23 July, 2007
(Reprinted with permission, Emerson Process Management)
I welcome the opportunity to speak with fellow techies – those who get excited about the opportunity to put a new technology to work, to see the results it delivers. I consider myself a veteran in living through and working through technology changes. I have been an ISA member for 38 years and have gone through the changes from pneumatics to fieldbus. All of them were exciting, but ultimately the ones that scored, so to speak, were the ones that translated into demonstrable business results for the companies that used them.
I am here to tell you today that wireless has the potential to deliver a very broad spectrum of business benefits. We love the technology. I freely admit to being a techie, and I love to talk about it. But if what we do as a technology doesn't transfer into allowing plants to run better, safer…it isn't going to survive.
Wireless offers opportunities for better business and plant management, for better workforce productivity, for better plant and process information. It provides access to information that was out of reach or very expensive to access, so you can do things you couldn't do before. The technology is proven and ready to deliver results today – with more capabilities coming.
We count on standards processes to draw all of this together for us. In the absence of a standard you create the opportunity for proprietary standards to emerge, creating even more chaos than that created by the wrangling to create a standard.
Business & Plant Management Opportunities
Wireless allows affordable access to information for better insight into what's happening, especially for safety & security. Video surveillance is one such example. It is easy and cost-effective to add wireless cameras where it would be too difficult, costly, or risky to trench or wire. Asset tracking is extremely important– even human assets. In the event of an emergency it is critical to stay in constant communication with folks moving around the plant.
For these applications, we need to be realistic about speed of response and compare it to what we are doing today which is, in most cases, nothing.
Workforce Productivity Opportunities
As for workforce opportunities: the idea of mobile operators who can truly operate the plant from wherever they are, with the same visualization in front of them that they have in the control room. The increase in productivity of a completely wirelessly-enabled operator or maintenance staff is obvious and considerable.
I do not believe that we need to come up with a top to bottom answer before we do anything. We are going to have to get out there and work the pieces. ISA100 is working on all the pieces.
Much of the technology for the things I've been describing is has been around for a while, but the next category is much newer. The technology has only recently reached the point where plants are willing to put it to use.
Plant and Process Information Opportunities
This hits home for me when I read the data on unplanned shutdowns. When you dig down into what causes unplanned shutdown, you find that it is usually the result of something quite simple, that we didn't know about. Most of the incidents that occur in plants can be traceable to things like that. What would happen if we could think of the plant like a human body? Imagine if you had a watch that told you what your cholesterol was, how your arteries were doing, the rate at which they were clogging and when you might have a problem. It is diagnostics, predictive intelligence that can change the way you live. We can get that in the wired world today but for some applications it is cost prohibitive today. Wireless has the chance to reduce installation costs by 80 to 90 percent. Wireless has the potential of freeing up diagnostics that already exist in wired devices that nobody is using.
Let's look at some examples. Most boilers today come with spots to hook up sensors, but we seldom do it, because it is too expensive. With wireless you can cost effectively monitor boiler tubes for leaks or plugging.
In California, plants have to put a "sock" on the relief valve to provide a visual indicator to the people roaming around, that the relief valve has popped. As a result, an operator has to check each valve periodically. If he finds a valve is missing the "sock" that usually covers it, he reports that the valve has been tripped -- in other words, there was an emission.
Now we have the ability with wireless to pick up when a "sock has popped" and what else was happening around the valve at the same time. You could install a wireless measurement transmitter next to the relief valve and send the information to the control room. You'll have documented proof of exactly when any emissions occurred and how long they lasted. Other examples include adding level measurements on tanks where you can't afford a spill and monitoring vibration or bearing temperature on rotating equipment.
No wires frees us to do the things that will make these plants run better and better by putting in the diagnostics needed to make that happen.
There are upward of 20 million HART devices installed in the process industries. But almost nobody has invested in the wiring needed to monitor these devices together. One of the benefits of this technology is to use a wireless adaptor to free the stranded diagnostics and send them back to the control system.
Moving from Opportunities to Reality
Our industry needs a technology that survives in the "canyons of metal" and where "power is gold." Reliability and security are also critical to overcome. We have come a long way, thanks to many of the people in this room and many not in this room today – people who've been working on wireless for years, before others even considered it a possibility for plant applications. You've come up with hardened, industrial-design sensors and radios, advances in battery life, taken care of security and coexistence We have not achieved 100%, but I don't think, that we have to wait for the 100%. We all have products in the field that are meeting many of those objections, and perhaps even all of them. I don't think we need to be scared to put wireless in. I think we have gone a long way, and I think we are on the right track.

A SUPERMARKET worker from Salisbury has been given a suspended prison sentence after stealing more than £28,000 from her employer.
Amy Louise White, 24, admitted stealing £28,122 while she was working in the customer returns department at Waitrose.
White had access to the customer returns database and used it to process refunds to her own bank account by memorising the barcodes of high-value items, including televisions and sound systems.
White, of Culver Street, also stole money by legitimately buying goods from the store and then giving herself refunds without returning the items.
Waitrose became suspicious about the refunds and conducted an internal investigation which revealed she had stolen thousands of pounds from the company between May last year and February this year.
Salisbury Magistrates Court heard on Friday that White, who starting working at the store when she was 16, has already paid back about £4,499 and given back items she stole.
Susan Jones, defending, said White used the money to fund a lifestyle she couldn't afford, and had started gambling.
"She wishes she never started this cycle," said Miss Jones. "This was out of character and she realises she has thrown away career prospects through her own stupidity. She accepts she needs to be punished for these offences and she is remorseful."
White pleaded guilty to five counts of fraud by false representation and one of theft by an employee.
She was given a two-year prison sentence, suspended for two years, and ordered to do 240 hours' unpaid work and pay a victim surcharge of £100.
Recorder Paul Garlick, sentencing, said: "You are an extremely lucky woman here today; in front of some other judges in this court you would be going to prison straight away for two years - I hope you understand that."

In 1963, Litton Industries acquired Western Atlas (a Texas oil and gas company), giving the Credit Union a foothold in Texas. Premier America CU was the last out-of-state credit union to expand into Texas just days before the state's credit union commission adopted a rule in 1999 prohibiting such expansion. Today, Premier America CU has more than 98,700 members and assets in excess of $2.1 Billion.

In 2006, Kimberli Costabile was honored with the volunteer award in recognition of her outstanding efforts in building cultural and communication bridges between various groups in the community.
Varon, a native of Germany, immigrated to America as an adult and was devoted to her adopted land. As a world traveler who could speak several languages, she worked as a translator. Joining the General Registrar's Office, she was committed to a voter registration outreach program for high school students. Using her linguistic skills, she wrote brochures and designed pamphlets to inform the voting public. Varon and her husband, Ben, generously donated their time to many volunteer organizations and frequently made generous anonymous donations to those in need. Varon fought for the rights and privileges of all residents to participate in the electoral process. The Board of Supervisors has memorialized her accomplishments through this award to recognize volunteer efforts enriching Fairfax County.

Crystal Palace's man of the moment Jason Puncheon has praised Tony Pulis for turning his season around after giving the winger confidence to overcome his homecoming jitters.
Puncheon, who joined the club the supported as a child in August on an initial season long loan from Southampton, is now the club's top scorer and has netted three goals in two games to all but confirm Premier League football in SE25 for another year.
But it hasn't all been plain sailing for the 27-year-old, who started slowly in a Palace shirt and courted controversy after hitting out at Neil Warnock after the former Palace boss criticised his penalty miss at Tottenham in January.
He recalled: "It was a difficult time but to give the gaffer and his coaching staff the credit, they were great for me.
"The gaffer spoke to me about it and told me to not worry about it and prove to everyone how good a player I am.
"Since then I haven't looked back.
"Coming home at the start of the season made me a little bit jittery and I had a lot of butteflies that didn't let me play at my full potential.
"But since the gaffer came in things have turned around for me and I'm looking forward now."

Keeping your workplace organized is no small feat. Sometimes items go missing, or files get misplaced. And if you don't stay on top of things day after day, your workplace can go from clean to chaotic real fast.
Avery has the labeling and organizing tools you need to get your workplace neat and orderly—and stay that way. And, when your workplace is in order, it can help you work more efficiently. It's easy to get started, too. Here's how:
Label It
Inevitably, things go missing. Items get borrowed, misplaced and then forgotten. But there's a simple trick to remind everyone to put things back where they belong. Label it! Avery I.D. Labels come in a variety of shapes and sizes so you can find the label that's just right, no matter what the item. Formatting is quick and easy using Avery Design & Print Online at avery.com, and you'll be up and running with your new I.D. labels in just a few minutes.
- Avery Permanent I.D. Labels – archival safe and acid free. Use for your office tools (staplers and scissors), supplies (first-aid kits), and archival-safe storage boxes.
- Avery Removable I.D. Labels – guaranteed to stick, stay and remove cleanly. Use for temporary needs such as routing slips on documents and reports.
Organize It
Paperwork has a tendency to build up. They pile up on your desk, end up in different file folders and even clutter your cube walls. What do you do when things run amok? Organize it! Keep all your important paperwork together using Avery binders, dividers and sheet protectors for easy reference. And with free pre-designed templates available at the Image Gallery, you can give your organizing system a professional and coordinated look in a snap.
- Avery Heavy Duty EZD™ View Binders are constructed of non-stick material, and feature rings that can hold 50% more capacity than the same size round ring.
- Avery Ready Index® Translucent Table of Contents Dividers are made of durable plastic to give your reference materials such as manuals and training handbooks a professional look.
- Avery Snap-In Sheet Protectors are just what you need to protect documents you refer to often, such as a phone list. Special notches on the sheet protector allow you to take it out of the binder without having to open the binder rings.
Now that your system is set up, all you need to do is check up on it on a regular basis. Be sure to keep your labels updated, and don't overstuff your binders. You can use multiple binders for large jobs, such as filing invoices alphabetically. Once you've established your organization system it'll be easier to maintain, and ultimately help you work more efficiently.

Jose Cuervo, the tequila maker, wants to drive grassroots awareness of its brand, therefore has decided to run an online campaign in the US to switch Labor Day from the first Monday in September to whatever is the official last day of summer. The news is reported on DMNews today by Mickey Alam Khan who explains that the campaign includes banners, e-mail and the Web site at www.cuervonation.com. Jose Cuervo basically wants people to sign up for an online petition to delay summer's end, later they will send the petition to the US Congress. Sam Chadha, global integrated marketing manager at Jose Cuervo International in New York. says: "For us, it's getting close to our customers and learning more about them, and CuervoNation is the platform for the brand. The actual promotion mechanics encourage consumers to contact likeminded people to gather as many names as possible".
Apparently it's a smart marketing idea to collect names and demographics from online users. Personally I like the fact of using the "Endless Summer" concept, but I believe that such an official looking petition is exaggerated, making the campaign rather dumb. To see some of Cuervo's banners exposed online, click here, and here.

The existing route of US 71 from Kansas City south to Pineville has been upgraded to interstate highway standards and will be officially dedicated as I-49 in a ceremony at noon on December 12, 2012, at Joplin East Middle School. I-49 will join 29, 35, 44, 55, and 70 in the list of Missouri's major interstate highways, as well as the shorter routes 57, 64, 72, 155, 170, 229, 255, 270, 435, 470, 635, and 670.
The major improvements made to convert US 71 to I-49 were the elimination of all at-grade crossings and intersections so access to the new highway is by interchange only. The Missouri Department of Transportation (MODOT) has a map of the I-49 corridor showing the locations of the upgrades.
Sections of I-49 already exist in Louisiana and plans are being made to complete the connecting sections in Arkansas. Once finished, with its link to I-29 in Kansas City, the combined route will extend from the gulf coast near New Orleans to southern Canada.
An important section of I-49 still to be completed is the "Bella Vista Bypass" from Pineville, MO, south past Bella Vista, AR, which will avoid the local traffic congestion of that area. Funding for the bypass got a boost from a half-cent sales tax for transportation projects that was approved by Arkansas voters in the November 2012 election.
The Library has several interesting books and videos about the interstate system and Missouri roads. Some of them are:

I have attached my full program that measures ECG using DAQ (for now I am just reading data from a file, so I have replaced DAQ with Read from File). I am trying to measure Heart Rate and HRV, but I think there is a flaw in my programing bcoz of which I am not getting any sensible plotting of HR & HRV.
I am able to plot the ECG graph and my data is also good.
I would really appreaciate if any one can give me some pointers on this.
the data file that I am using can be downloaded from here:
thanks already!!
Hi Tech Toad,
I could not run your project because the WA Detrend.vi is missing. Could you please attache the complete project (it has to have a *.lvproj file).
Please could you specify your problem a bit more in detail and might add an screenshot of the waveform graph this would help me to debug your program code.
Kind regards
ps: perhaps do you speak German?
Hi Sponge,
Thanks for the reply.
I have attached the program again and hopefull it should work well now.
My basic problem lies in when the program does all the calculations in order to finally display Heart Rate and a plot of RR intervals.
I am sure that the method that I am following has some problem with it, but I am not able to figure out what.:manmad:
Please have a look and see if you can find the problem.
Thanks again.
ps: I am kind of learning german, so at this point am not able to conversate so well.
hv fun!
Hi Tech Toad
I installed the obligate Toolkit (Advanced Signal Processing Toolkit) and behold I could run the project!
It works very well! ...no alerts or errors occured and all signal graphs show a continuous signal trace !
So please could you give me some more specific informations. Such as:
- Which signal trace/values du you expect?
- What are the differences to the signal you get?
At least I have to suggest you to add an error handling to your project. This helps a lot to debug your project!
Have a good one!
Hey, I tried running this code with an ecg signal of .mat and .tdms format but it shows error as input empty and so on.... wat data format should i use to run t successfully? Hoping to get an answer soon! Thanx a lot
Hi Tech Toad,
You can find our free NI Biomedical Starter Kit on here the NI Labs website: https://decibel.ni.com/content/groups/ni-labs
It is a collection of example VIs for biomedical applications, including a nice file-format converter giving you easy access to sample data files on the MIT Physionet database. The source-code version (available on request - see details at the bottom of the article) also gives you some palettes of signal processing VI's for ECG, EMG, and other biosignals.
Support for this starter kit is available on our Biomedical User Community here: www.ni.com/biomedusers

Two previous winners of "Dancing With The Stars" were eliminated Tuesday night in the all-star competition.
NFL star Emmitt Smith who won the mirror ball trophy in season three and Olympic speed skater Apolo Ohno who won season four, were eliminated in the semi-finals.
"Every single person who does this show is a champion because it forces you to become a champion in your own right. It forces you to become more confident, stronger and it's been a blessing. Every single week the fans have been so amazing," said Ohno.
"Season three was something else, but this right here takes it over the top," said Smith of his elimination.
Ohno, who got a perfect score for one of his two performances on Monday, ended up in third place on the score board. Olympian Shawn Johnson and TV personality Melissa Rycroft were the top scorers.
Also returning for the finals next week, soap star Kelly Monaco.

Academics — Do they mean us??
This is just an afterword to the series now.
In researching I perceived a before-and-after effect when I'd grasped some of the history of SBNR. It's a damn interesting history, especially if you have a good teller. Nevill Drury is great, an SBNR himself, with many books to his name on subjects like shamanism and sound healing. Also an MA in anthropology who has written good history books on the New Age, which is close enough to be very useful. Here's a very watchable video of his lecture outlining the basics of his history:
The New Age Movement – Swedenborg Centre, Sydney
… and illustrating that all-important many-stranded nature of SBNR. If you want more I do recommend his book:
… which you can get for a penny now as you can see. Drury covers Swedenborg, Mesmer, Theosophy, William James, the psychoanalysts including Jung, Maslow and Perls, psychedelia including Watts and Leary, Grof, acupuncture and other alternative medicine, Krishnamurti, Joseph Campbell, Castaneda and neoshamanism, quantum mysticism and many other things we need to know, from a very readable popular standpoint, quite reliable and with good illos. Knowing this gets you into play on the multi-levelled, multimythic nature of SBNR.
In researching this series partly I thought my duty should be to read some academic sociologists. If you want to do the same, note that anyone can peruse The Journal of Alternative Spiritualities and New Age Studies (JASANAS), a project of the Open University which has put its 5 issues up online for free consultation. That's a genuinely impressive academic publication with a lot of useful facts and some interesting theories if you want them. Academicese is often in full effect.
Of the in-print professors, if you must, the one who to my mind is most in tune with aspects of SBNR thought is Christopher Partridge:
The Re-Enchantment of the West: Volume 1: Understanding Popular Occulture
The Re-Enchantment of the West, Vol II: Alternative Spiritualities, Sacralization, Popular Culture and Occulture
This is a guy who takes SBNR seriously as thought as well as culture. He knows about pop-cultural aspects too.
Paul Heelas is the other known UK academic defender of SBNR:
The Spiritual Revolution: Why Religion Is Giving Way to Spirituality Heelas and Woodhead
Spiritualities of Life: New Age Romanticism and Consumptive Capitalism
The first volume, co-written with Linda Woodhead, is a good research effort on SBNR in the UK. The second answers the occasional need for a "defence of SBNR" against Christopher Lasch or similar tomfoolery — Partridge and this volume of Heelas together will certainly do the job. Heelas mentions Durkheim a lot, which is apparently what some folks want, and I think most readers will find his arguments cogent. But he doesn't cover the thinking of SBNRs themselves very well — they are mostly assumed to be quite mute creatures.
This book tackles the US:
Spiritual, but not Religious: Understanding Unchurched America
… well if a little briefly. Again, good basic historical perspective.
On the other hand I'd also recommend something with a truly SBNR perspective and some real imagination. William Irwin Thompson's five-line dismissal of Lasch in:
Reimagination of the World: Critique of the New Age, Science and Popular Culture, Spangler and Thompson
… is probably sufficient in itself unto that task.:) This is a real book by real thinking SBNRs (Thompson's a professor too don't forget, and his friend David Spangler is no slouch either) about SBNR, science, all sorts of things — including critiques. I probably disagree with half of it, but these are the kinds of thoughts I wish more SBNRs were able to have. Shows how you can be historically imaginative rather than defaulting to commonplaces. The book is transcripts of spontaneous talks and conversations which gives it a naturalness I find useful.
After writing this series I discovered a four-part Thompson online series on the same subject called "THINKING OTHERWISE – From Religion to Post-Religious Spirituality", but you'll have to google it as the site seems down right this sec.
Finally, also from the SBNR camp itself I should mention Robert Forman's Grassroots Spirituality:
Grassroots Spirituality: What it is, Why it is Here, Where it is Going
… which was a wider concept and an attempt at "gathering the tribes" for democratic purposes. I'm not sure how well he pulled it off — he wanted to do it by harmonising belief systems into more singular linguistic statements, eeeeesh — and he casts the net a little wide for my liking.
But he's pushing ahead with it as you see from his "Forge Institute"
That's the end of this series — hope it was interesting, and thanks for reading!
If anyone has any questions jogged by it, don't hesitate to comment.
This series hasn't included anything "inner". We'll now be moving on from exoteric history and the next series of this kind will be completely different and much deeper, to get to the juicy stuff — what SBNR is really about, believes, and so on. Looking at the history really helped me understand all that, but next we'll need to combine it with other stuff such as the nature of spiritual progress and "enlightenment" etc. That stuff will probably be much more sustainedly intense than anything I've yet posted on the 'Box.
The next series will be about Carl Rogers and psychology, which will also set up themes for what follows.

News Release

Nov. 4, 2010
Game Warden Named Officer of the Year
AUSTIN — Long-time Texas Parks and Wildlife Game Warden Brad Chappell has been recognized as 2010 Texas Midwest Officer of the Year by the Association of Midwest Fish and Game Law Enforcement Officers.
TPWD Executive Director Carter Smith presented the veteran wildlife law enforcement officer with the prestigious award at the Nov. 4 meeting of the Parks and Wildlife Commission in Austin. TPWD's Law Enforcement Division joined the Association of Midwest Fish and Game Law Enforcement Officers in 1995. The law enforcement association is made up of 29 member agencies from the United States and Canada and is the oldest such organization in North America.
Chappell graduated from the 40th Texas Game Warden Training Academy in 1987. After an initial assignment to Sabine County, he transferred to Panola County in 1991 where he was assigned until being promoted to sergeant.
During Chappell's tenure as a second generation Texas game warden, he has conducted a wide variety of special investigations on a statewide basis. This includes being involved in the recent joint agency Lacey Act investigation, Operation Cimarron, with Kansas, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Texas officers.
Chappell has handled challenging cases such as the illegal importation of deer into Texas that have resulted in federal prison sentences for the convicted offenders. These investigations led to both misdemeanor and felony convictions.
More recently Chappell has been instrumental in the TPWD Commission's decision to deny issuance of a variety of deer permits to applicants with Lacey Act convictions. He is primarily responsible for investigating complex cases of fish and wildlife-related violations, most of which have some commercial aspect.
Chappell also disseminates wildlife enforcement information to game wardens throughout the state and instructs at the Texas Game Warden Training Center near Hamilton.
When not enforcing the law, Chappell spends time with his wife of 23 years and their 20-year-old son. The Chappell's live on their farm four miles west of the Louisiana state line near Deadwood in Panola County.

WINSFORD will not change they way they play when table-topping Runcorn Linnets visit Barton Stadium tomorrow, Saturday, according to manager Rob Byrne.
Blues have won three successive matches under their new boss since Eddy Haslam's departure, securing for him the job on a permanent basis.
He said: "It's a very competitive league.
"Runcorn are top of the table, but I think we'll give it a good go. The boys seem to enjoy playing more when they express themselves.
"If we can get the ball down on the floor as quickly as possible, I'm confident we can cause them problems."
Runcorn, five points clear of closest rivals Maine Road, have won five successive matches in the Premier Division.
They have lost only once since October, a sequence of 13 games.
Winsford have reason to be optimistic though; they have lost only one of their past five head-to-heads with their Cheshire neighbours.
Kick off at Barton Stadium is 3pm.

Topic: Husbands ct results
Well got ct results back and it shows everything is stable. But we had to see a temp oc doc because his normal doc was out of town. The temp was great! Liked her better then the normal one. Any way she wants a pet scan done. Just like I have been asking for him to be able to have. But his normal doc always said there wasn't a good enough reason to request one. This temp doc said there is since his tumor markers are on a steady climb. She even so much went and called my husbands doctor while we were setting there and told her that one needed to be done. Sounds like he should be getting his pet scan done at the end of the month. Just waiting on the appointment date now. We were both soo happy that he's able to finally get this done.
She also mentioned that if his pet scan comes back clean maybe he could have a break from chemo or just do maitance chemo which would be 1 xeloda a day. That would be great. Now just the waiting game until everything gets done.

Goins given another chance to seize second-base job
Demoted after slow start to season, infielder able to turn it around at Triple-A
TORONTO -- Ryan Goins has a second chance to secure his spot in the Blue Jays' lineup after he was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday afternoon.
Goins was promoted alongside right-handers Esmil Rogers and Aaron Sanchez. Left-hander Brad Mills was designated for assignment, while catcher Erik Kratz and outfielder Darin Mastroianni were optioned to the Minors.
The 26-year-old Goins began the year as Toronto's starting second baseman, but lost the job because of his prolonged offensive struggles. In 24 games, he hit .150 (9-for-60) with a .203 on-base percentage and a .420 OPS.
"I don't really know what happened, I thought what I was doing was good and I thought things were going to work," Goins said. "In Spring Training, I felt like I was making strides and then you get to the season and you're not hitting, not exactly pressing, but you can kind of feel it that you're the guy in the lineup that wasn't getting the job done and they brought guys in that were getting it done."
Goins got the start at second base Tuesday night and Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said Goins can expect to receive a lot of playing time in the immediate future. The ripple effect of that decision could mean that Juan Francisco will get less playing time with Munenori Kawasaki moving to third.
In 79 games for Buffalo, Goins hit .285 with 16 extra-base hits and a .676 OPS. He'll likely split time at second with utilityman Steve Tolleson.
"I feel like I'm the same guy, same player, just a little more battle tested," Goins said. "Going down and having to pick myself back up and playing good enough to get back up here."

Just watched the press conference on NBA TV. Couldn't be more thrilled.
Supposedly, they're going to get extremely involved in summer camps and leagues, and set standards for how much organized basketball kids can play, as well as provide instructional coaching as well as medical professionals to make sure these kids don't seriously damage themselves.
I've always been very open about my disdain for the AAU and youth basketball at large. I think it's great that there is going to be a concerted effort to educate these kids that they don't need to destroy themselves playing non-stop basketball in order to get a college scholarship or reach the NBA.
I also think it's important that the NBA and NCAA is going to sponsor these events and provide actual coaching, instead of the current coaches just rolling the ball out and letting these kids develop their own bad habits for the sake of winning meaningless summer league games.
Furthermore, I'm happy hat sometime in the future I won't have to see another 18-year old center undergo microfracture surgery because he's put 30 years worth of basketball mileage on 18 year old legs.

Jews in Bialystok According to German Sources
Translated by Gloria Berkenstat Freund
Jews in Bialystok were the preponderant force compared to the non-Jewish population both in number and in commerce and trade at the end of the 18th century,
[Page 51]
as A. K. Von Holshe, the German geographical researcher during the time of the rule of [Jan Klemens] Bronicki's widow in Bialystok, describes in his book of 1800.[13] The Prussians began to rule in the Bialystok Department during the annexation period. He complains about it and comments with bitterness about the Bialystok Department:
It is a mistake that the majority of the cities emphasized agricultural work and that, in general, there is no industry in the agrarian cities; the consequence of this is that the Jews who are not involved with any agricultural work are firmly established in all of the branches of nourishment and many citizens had to leave the cities for the suburbs, the villages and become farmers. The majority of cities have the right to brew and to have breweries, but it is rare to find a Christian citizen who is involved with this. This is an inheritance of the Jews along with the tavern. Christians are not involved with commerce at all and there are very few professionals among them. However, on the contrary, Jews are involved with various trades because trades do not require any great bodily exertion. An example of this is the city of Goniadz that according to the existing information was a blossoming city of over 600 citizens' houses 150 to 200 years ago and it had the privilege that a Jew was not permitted to live in it; it became a complete ruin through fires and plagues.[14] But recently, the citizens began to move back to it.
The basic concept of the new East Prussian Siemiatycze,[1*] wanting to increase their income and make their city into a large place of commerce, was to build a large city hall with more than 100 shops for their Jews.[15] The extent to which this basic concept did not achieve its purpose can be seen when Bialystok is compared with Suwalk. Bialystok, the majority of whose 3,370 residents were Jewish, had a city hall with 40 shops and 1,000 wagons would come to its weekly market[16] compared to Suwalk, which was free of Jews and had a large church with a large
[Page 52]
market, at which there was nothing to buy.[17] The villages around the Jewish cities also were brought to life.
Jews were very numerous and reached approximately a tenth of all of the residents. Jews in the Bialystok Department have over 100 synagogues.[18] The number of cities in the Bialystok Department is 86. Bialystok County has 10 cities, Bialystok, Choroszcz, Gradek, Janow, Jasinowka, Knyszyn, Adelsk, Sokolka, Zabludowe and Waszlikowke; of them five are royal and five noble (aristocratic). Bialystok is a noble state of Count Bronicki. Many royal cities had explicit limitations that no Jews could live in their own houses.[19]
Consequently, what Bobrowski says is entirely false, that until 1803 no Jews were found in many cities in the county that was called the Bialystok Department, but the Prussian government gave them the right to settle there and from then on their numbers grew a great deal. On the contrary, as we will further see, the Prussian government took strong means not to allow any new Jews to settle in the Bialystok Department because it had been fully settled earlier by Jews who were involved with commerce and trade. The Prussian government enacted laws whose purpose was to limit and reduce the number of Jews in the entire area.

Device: Biphasic osteochondral composite
We had previously developed a biphasic osteochondral composite as the construct for chondrocyte implantation. We further conducted this feasibility study of such device to treat patients with osteochondral lesion of the knee joints.
Other Name: Biphasic scaffold
Detailed Description:
Methods: Ten patients with symptomatic isolated osteochondritis at the femoral condyle were treated by replacing the pathological tissue with autologous chondrocyte-laden biphasic cylindrical plug of DL-poly-lactide-co-glycolide, with its lower body impregnated with -tricalcium phosphate as the osseous phase. The osteochondral lesion was drilled to fashion a pit of identical size and shape as the plug. The chondrocyte-laden plug was press-fit to fill the pit. Outcome of repair was examined by KOOS scale at 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively, and tissue sample was collected with second-look arthroscopic needle-biopsy at 12 months. The primary outcome parameter was the postoperative change of KOOS; and the secondary outcome parameter was the regeneration of cancellous bone and hyaline cartilage at the repair site.

Related stories: Governor's budget update means (slightly) bigger bucks for education | Gov. Jerry Brown urges restraint in revised budget proposal
Gov. Jerry Brown's revised budget proposal offered a few changes to the state's controversial policy of requiring local governments to confine and monitor growing numbers of offenders, but for the most part, leaves the program in place.
The governor's May Revised budget would give local probation departments a relatively small boost in funding for programs designed to prevent offenders from returning to state prison. Brown's spending plan would also create a program in which offenders sentenced to long-term jail commitments could be exchanged for prison inmates, among some other proposals.
Although the latter proposal bears some similarity to a Republican lawmaker's bill, the proposed adjustments to realignment are very modest when compared to the 13-bill package that legislative Republicans proposed this spring to reform realignment. Those bills have been blocked in committees controlled by the Legislature's Democratic majorities, but many of the GOP proposals may return for consideration in 2014.
Realignment went into effect in October in the wake of federal court decisions mandating a reduction of overcrowded conditions in state prison. The policy has resulted in county jails handling some inmates sentenced to multi-year terms, who would have previously gone to prison.
Among the GOP bills, state Sen. Bill Emmerson, R-Redlands, had proposed a bill that would have sent offenders to prison if sentenced to more than three years. In a somewhat similar move, Brown's budget would allow county authorities to exchange jail inmates who have served three years to be exchanged for short-term prison inmates.
"I think the governor took that language and used it in his budget, and used it in a way that would make it more equitable for counties," Emmerson said. "We'll have to see what happens in the budget process. "
Brown's revised budget proposal would also allocate $107 million for county probation departments faced with monitoring offenders who would have otherwise been tracked by state parole agents. That figure is $72 million above the governor's initial proposal.
The funding for probation departments would be delivered under a 2009 law, intended to help counties curb recidivism, that predates realignment. Brown's proposal states the money would be intended to aid counties handle "responsibilities they have incurred in assisting the state in reducing its prison population. "
San Bernardino County Probation Department spokesman Chris Condon said the department favors the 2009 program and that the funding called for in Brown's budget could at least offset new budgetary burdens.
For Los Angeles County, whatever share of the $107 million its probation department may receive will be helpful – but not sufficient – to meet the new burdens of realignment, Los Angeles County Assistant Chief Probation Officer Margarita Perez said.
Those burdens include dealing with offenders who have greater tendencies toward criminal behavior than previously were supervised by probation officers, she said.
"They are particularly in need of a higher level of services," she said.

AADS: Red & White Calf Giveaway comes from Dana Erway's Del-Hollow Farm
Click to see her pedigree.
At the mention of the name "Jodie" in the Red & White breed, and immediately one thought comes to mind-Excellence! "Fradon Rudolph Jodie-ET EX-2E CAN"is a well-known cow in not only the U.S. and Canada, but sought after worldwide. Jodi with offspring too numerous to mention, is the great granddam of Del-Hollow Golden Jewel Red born in April of 2012. This heifer is a daughter of a VG-88 dam and a VG-88 granddam. The Jodi family boasts of the tremendous ability to transmit both production and type. It has been said that all Jodie family members that bear the speckled appearance, will carry the traits of the family. Fradon Farms in Canada houses their dairy cattle in two different barns, dedicating one entire barn to the Jodies.
Before retiring in 2012, Dana Erway began the partnership with Fradon Farms when he dispersed the milking herd. Dana continues his fondness of this family by housing his milking animals at Fradon and in return, he keeps the younger family members for Fradon here in Pennsylvania. Caring for receiptant heifers, calving embryos and nurturing the young calves keeps him busy for six month of the year, and he spends 6 months enjoying retirement in Arizona. Currently there are 50 head on the farm. In 2012, Dana and his wife, Ginger have also sold the family farm market/restaurant and Dana retired from the Blue Seal Dealership. They reside in Coudersport, Pennsylvania.
Dana has been breeding registered cattle for many years and began exhibiting dairy cattle during his FFA years. He has been affiliated with the All-American Dairy Show for the past 10 years, serving as the Red & White representative on the board of directors, various committees and as a fundraiser. He was instrumental in the creation of the Premier National Junior Shows where he continues to work with the junior Red & White exhibitors and has served as ringman for the PNJS Red & White Show and supreme pageant.
A member of the Red & White Dairy Cattle Association, Dana has served 3 terms on the board of directors, as show committee chairperson and as their All-American Award Program Chairperson. In 2010 at the national convention, he was honored with the Gary Mayhew Keystone Award recognizing grassroots members who have given dedicated support to the Red & White breed and the RWDCA. Dana, even in retirement, continues to serve on the board.
Dana is hopeful that this heifer will be an outstanding foundation for a junior to build from and encourages all juniors to keep their goals high. Many excellent members of the Jodie Family have graced numerous show rings here in the United States as well as in Canada and continue to transmit those tremendous family genetics. He is hopeful that one day this junior will return to exhibit his/her own branch of the Jodie Family at the PNJS.
The All-American Dairy Show is proud to host the Premier National Junior Shows from Sept. 7-10 at the PA Farm Show Complex and Expo Center. For additional information, please visit: www.allamerican.state.pa.us or email Patti Hushon, Youth Coordinator for a show brochure: email@example.com
