Five Things That Could Go Wrong With Van Halen's New Album [VIDEO]
Van Halen's new album is recorded and soon to be unleashed onto the world. We're pretty excited With Van Halens New Album. However, it's been nearly 30 years since the band recorded a new studio album with lead singer David Lee Roth, and they've never made one without original bassist Michael Anthony. So, it's quite natural that fans might be nervous about how it's all going to work. Here are Five Things That Could Go Wrong With Van Halen's New Album:
David Lee Roth Tries to Actually Sing
The Songs Are Too Long
Van Halen's self-titled debut album needed just under 36 minutes to change rock as we knew it. In fact, the six David Lee Roth-era albums clock in at an average time of under 34 minutes. By contrast, the "Van Hagar" records run about 50 minutes each, and 'Van Halen III,' with Gary Cherone, occupies nearly an hour. This longer approach may have worked with those two, more pure singers, but as the pair of five-minute-plus songs on 1996's 'Best of Volume 1′ (yes, we're bringing those up again) proves, it doesn't suit Roth quite so well.
Alex Van Halen Breaks Out the Synth-Drums
Michael Anthony's Backing Vocals Can't Be Replaced
Eddie Takes Over Lead Vocals Again
It's not that Eddie's voice is all that bad — in fact it's rather reminiscent of the half-spoken delivery of Pink Floyd's Roger Waters. But, my goodness was 'How Many Say I,' from Van Halen's last studio album, 'Van Halen III,' a deadly combination of apparent earnestness and a total lack of self-awareness. This is why you can't surround yourself with "Yes men," all you future rock stars!

The 2nd Annual "Mayo Bowl" Celebrity Bowling Tournament
It was an all-star line-up of Patriots at the 2nd Annual "Mayo Bowl" charity bowling tournament at Kings Dedham, Legacy Place. In the house I spied the man of the night, Jerod Mayo, along with teammates Deion Branch, Vince Wilfork, Chad Ochocinco, Albert Haynesworth, Matt Light and Stephen Gostkowski.
Also lending their support to the charity was former Pats Troy Brown, WZLX morning radio personalities Kevin Karlson, Pete McKenzie and Heather Ford, WBZ-TV's Steve Burton and National Amusement's Kevin Mitchell. Adding to the party vibe was DJ Ron Furr. The event raised more than $100,000 for Pitching in for Kids, Inc., whose mission is dedicated to providing specifically earmarked grants that will improve the lives of children across New England. You can't beat that!
Enrique Iglesias
Pitbull was a no-show, but it didn't matter because Enrique Iglesias put on a sizzling and muy caliente show for the sold-out crowd of tweens, teens, adults and cougars alike at the TD Garden. I admit I can't really distinguish his songs except for the ballad, "Hero," but it really didn't matter. The night was about music, dancing and having fun, plus it doesn't hurt that Enrique is so darn cute, even with his baseball cap on. Anna Kournikova, you're one lucky lady!
Berklee BeanTown Jazz Festival
Despite the forecast of rain and the humidity, the last day of the festival went off without a hitch. It was a day filled with food, families and music, and also seeing old friends. As I was leaving the fest, I could hear the faint sounds of Oleta Adams singing "Get Here" in the background. What a great way to end the day!
Red Lantern
Red Lantern describes itself as a "sophisticated, sensual and tailored Asian Restaurant and Lounge" and I couldn't agree more. Where do I begin? You enter the restaurant through the 20-foot Asian ceremonial black-lacquered doors into the foyer, which then leads you into the bar area on the left and the dining area opens up to the right, with a sushi bar in the back.
It's both intimate and inviting. I walked in and I was immediately captivated by the rich and bold red accents throughout the lounge, coupled with the soft lighting, great music and beautiful people. I swear I haven't seen this many attractive people in one spot in the city. They must have shipped them in!
The cuisine is traditional Chinese food with a twist from the lobster rangoon to the shumai and assorted rice dishes to the bubble tea and hot "sakitinis," and it all works. It's a great place to meet up with friends after work or a night on the town. I'll definitely be back! There's so much more to explore!
Coming up …
Tonight (Oct. 6), in celebration of the Lasell College Fashion Department, Lasell College celebrates its 75th Anniversary with the glamourousFASCINATION Runway Show featuring designer Nara Paz at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum in Brookline. The show kicks off at 8 p.m.

"An Excellent Place to Start"
For the average person interested in the background of the New Testament, or even simply the history of the first century, Josephus should be required reading. However, his style in the traditional English translation of 1739-41 seems to be so forbidding to many that they don't even make the attempt. "Thrones of Blood" is an excellent place to start because it combines the most pertinent material from two of Josephus' histories ("The Antiquities of the Jews" and "The Jewish War") into one continuous simplified narrative which "reads more like a novel than a history book." The English is paraphrased into modern style and is very easy to understand.
Listeners need to keep in mind, though, that a paraphrase is really an interpretation. In this case I have generally found it to be very accurate; but having heard what is has to say, it should be checked against a more literal translation if you want to be sure of the exact words of Josephus in any particular sentence. The narrator of the audiobook is pleasant to listen to, and although he sometimes mispronounces a few of the ancient names, that doesn't have to detract from the story (which is really quite gripping). The main drawback is that since the print version is already an abridgment of Josephus, the audiobook is an abridgment of an abridgment. This makes it more of a "scan," with the result that in a few places it becomes difficult to follow who was who. Repeated listenings should cure this problem, however.
All in all, I highly recommend "Thrones of Blood" as a place to start for everyone. It would also be great for someone simply wanting a refresher on Josephus, or even just a good read. It has rekindled my interest to read through the complete edition of Josephus. I hope it will do the same for you, too; but even if it doesn't, the "Thrones of Blood" audiobook will give you a wealth of background material for understanding where we are today.
"A good Read"
It gave me a much better understanding of that period of time.
The first person perspective.
He did well.

U.S. Natural Gas Fund (UNG) was launched in April 2007 and has lost money in every calendar year since then as the commodity's price has stayed depressed on a supply glut.
However, 2013 could finally be the year that UNG and other natural gas ETFs end the rut. UNG capped a two-day rally with a gain of more than 4% on Friday.
Natural gas exchange traded funds could be moving past their bottom after a four year bear market in gas. Still, supply side strength could keep natural gas futures from breaking out.
On Wednesday, the Energy Department stated that weekly average output jumped to 7 million barrels a day in the week ended Jan. 4, a 20-year high and 1.16 million higher for the same week last year, reports Asjylyn Loder for Bloomberg.
Nevertheless, the long-term natural gas trend has been bearish, and more observers believe in a turnaround.
"We are hearing from various classes of investors that they are considering re-weighting gas in their portfolio allocation mix because 2012 may indeed have marked a price bottom," Sal Gilbertie, president and co-founder of Teucrium , said in an interview.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the average price of natural gas is projected to rise almost a dollar in 2013 to $3.74 per million British thermal units, compared to the $2.75 average last year, reports Eric Schwartzel for Pipeline. Natural gas futures were trading at around $3.11/MMBtu Wednesday.
Gilbertie points out that the Baker Huges dry gas – wells dedicated to natural gas exploration – rig count is at a 13-year low after the low natural gas prices forced drillers to cut back. Moreover, Marcellus Shale Drillers have also cut costs and disassembled rigs due to the record low prices. [Natural Gas ETF Falls Below 200-Day Trend for First Time in Three Months]
Nevertheless, "natural gas production is rising even though dry gas rig counts are falling," Gilbertie said. "This is due to the fact that 'incidental' gas production occurs with dedicated gas liquids and crude oil wells, as well as with shale and oil sands oil production."
"Simply stated, there still seems to be plenty of supply even though demand is rising and dedicated drilling efforts for gas (as reflected in the Baker Hughes rig counts) is falling," Gilbertie added.
In the short-term, generally mild temperatures have contributed to the recent drop in prices. The U.S. National Weather Service forecasted above-normal temperatures for most of the eastern third of the U.S. over a ten-day period, Commodities News reports. [ETF Chart of the Day: Natural Gas Fracking]
U.S. natural gas storage has been relatively flat, sitting around 0.7% higher than last year's level. Still, natural gas inventories is 12.4% above its five-year average for this time of the year.
Natural gas futures-based ETFs include:
- United States Natural Gas Fund (UNG)
- United States 12 Month Natural Gas Fund (UNL)
- Teucrium Natural Gas Fund (NAGS)

Minnesota House Majority Leader Matt Dean of Dellwood is apologizing for calling author Neil Gaiman a "pencil-necked little weasel" but isn't backing off of his criticism of the author for collecting a $45,000 speaking fee from state taxpayers.
"I'm sure he has a lot of fans but also a lot of those fans would agree that he's extremely financially successful," Dean said. "He could probably donate a few hours of his time for some kids who follow him and like his books."
Dean originally made the comment while talking about changes to how the state's Legacy Funds for the arts are distributed.
"My mom is staying with us right now. My wife's out of town, and she was very angry this morning and always taught me to not be a name caller. And I shouldn't have done it, and I apologize."
Gaiman reacted to Dean's comments by saying Dean was engaging in "lunatic schoolyard rhetoric." The author, who lives in Wisconsin, says he gave the money he received for speaking at the Stillwater library to charity.

Guys, I know we all say this from time to time. And I know I do it often. But I seriously think this is one of my most favorite pages I've ever made! It came together so quickly thanks to a Shimelle sketch and my stash diving.
Actually Shimelle was really influential for both the design and concept of the layout.
Sunday, I was super tired and completely lacking in mojo. Around 5:00pm I finished up a page I'd been waffling over since Saturday and didn't know what to work on next nor was I inspired to try. So instead, I sat in the living room and organized a box of printed photos.
As I was going through the box, I pulled a few vertical photos that I thought could work for this sketch. And then I came across these photos from my first trip abroad.
I knew instantly what I wanted to do thanks to this week's Glitter Girl Adventure. I often write more than the what/when/how but after watching the video, that idea was still percolating in my brain. When I came across the photos, I knew exactly what I wanted to write about.
Journaling Reads:
"Whenever people ask about the places I've visited, they always want to know where it started. I was blessed with an awesome travel experience when I was just 16, a wonderful adventure in France with Mama and our friend Karen. That first trip completely expanded my worldview. Literally! I loved the feel of the unfamiliar city, was intrigued by the Parisians' lifestyle and their unhurried pace. I loved exploring this city, so very different from my own. Most of all, I loved that I could be anyone I wanted in this new city, a newer and better version of myself. I still love that about traveling. It's what keeps me discovering, more of the world and more about myself."
I went stash diving for these supplies & have to say, I think this is why I love the page so much. I've loved these products for forever and am so glad they made their way onto my page & into my scrapbook.
Absolutely everything is from several releases ago. Well except for those green letter stickers but we'll let that slide.
I pulled in a lot of Studio Calico Abroad, some original Amy Tangerine, Basic Grey Wanderer and a sheet of the new defunct Girls' Paperie.
I also pulled a few of my favorite travel quotes (compiled courtesy of my Pinterest craft inspiration board) for this page, something I've been wanting to do for awhile.
Can I gush again about how much I love this page? Because I seriously do!
Happy Monday yall!
cheers & besos,

I finally looked into it today, and found that the code that identifies if a target is in a project used equal, instead of eq. I changed that, and my version of the bug was fixed. If I understand your problem, your dilemma seems to revolve around the idea that in EDE, a source file can belong to only one target. I'm not sure sure of this guess. If you could download the latest ede.el from CVS which fixes my bug (which I described above) and try again to see if it is resolved or not. If not, and the bug you describe throws an error, a good step is to do this: M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET and then repro the problem. Often the stack is enough for me to fix a bug.

Gov. Bill Ritter today signed legislation that helps public colleges and universities keep their doors open for the immediate future while options for long-term, sustainable business models are explored.
With lawmakers, college presidents and education advocates at his side, Gov. Ritter signed into law Senate Bill 3 (Morse & Penry/Middleton & May), a bipartisan measure that grants public colleges and universities greater flexibility in setting tuition through Fiscal Year 2016. The law is based on a recommendation from Gov. Ritter's Higher Education Strategic Plan Steering Committee.
"An affordable, accessible and high-quality system of public higher education is critical to creating opportunities and preparing Colorado students to enter the workforce ready for success," Gov. Ritter said, noting he benefited from this very system himself, graduating from Colorado State University and the University of Colorado School of Law. "It also is one of the keys to Colorado's economic future and our overall quality of life.
"But higher education has reached a funding crossroad here in Colorado and many states across the country," Gov. Ritter said. "Senate Bill 3 is not a permanent fix. It does, however, provide short-term relief while we develop a strategic roadmap for long-term sustainability, and central to this new law is the principle that a public higher education in Colorado remains affordable and accessible to all."
SB 3 allows governing boards, from FY11-FY16, to determine annual tuition increases that do not exceed 9 percent. Institutions seeking increases greater than 9 percent must get approval from the Colorado Commission on Higher Education for five-year financial and accountability plans. These plans must demonstrate that access and affordability for low- and middle-income students will be preserved.
"With higher education facing cuts next year, it was imperative that we take action to keep colleges and universities affordable and open for Coloradans of all income levels," said Sen. John Morse. "Senate Bill 3 is about doing what is absolutely necessary to keep colleges and universities open and to keep Colorado's economy on track."
"This bill gives our higher education institutions the autonomy they need to ensure they thrive and serve Colorado's kids," said Rep. Karen Middleton. "Our universities and colleges have been hit with the burden of state budget cuts, and although this isn't a complete fix to our higher ed funding woes, it will help them have more flexibility to operate effectively."
Gov. Ritter today also signed House Bill 1428 (Middleton/Romer), which allocates $35 million in funds from CollegeInvest to benefit higher education.
"Too many of our students still cannot afford college. That's why I am so proud that in this budget climate, we were able to shore up millions of dollars for scholarships, need-based aid and job training programs," said Rep. Karen Middleton. "With the change in federal law, we can bolster our scholarship fund to help deserving students, while also keeping a lean budget. To make the dream of college a reachable reality for more high school graduates -- particularly in a session with not much good financial news to report -- this deserves a banner headline."

I'm sure there are fans of Albert Pyun's cheesy 1982 fantasy epic "The Sword and the Sorcerer" somewhere out there, but I'm not one of them. Admittedly, it's been several long years since I've had the opportunity to sit down with the movie, and my tastes have changed radically since I was 10. According to Twitch, Pyun and "Hercules" star Kevin Sorbo are preparing to unleash the sequel, "Tales of an Ancient Empire," on a world that may not be as receptive to this sort of SyFy Channel tomfoolery as they were back in the 80's. Sure, "The Sword and the Sorcerer" has a loyal cult following and, yes, fantasy movies are a pretty easy sell these days, but is a follow-up really necessary? Can Pyun recapture the campy magic of the original film? Who knows. More importantly, I'm not sure that I really care. Hey, at least I'm being honest.
Here's the official synopsis:
A princess is on a quest to unite the five greatest warriors to save her kingdom from a demon sorceress.
Mind-blowing stuff. The film co-stars Matthew Willig, Scott Paulin, Melissa Ordway, and Val Kilmer, the latter of whom apparently doesn't care what he attaches his name to anymore. The buzz currently surrounding the flick is baffling; had this been directed by someone like Uwe Boll, nobody would care about it. As it currently stands, "Tales of an Ancient Empire" is scheduled to insult your intelligence sometime in 2010.

On January 1, 1994, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit will make several significant improvements to its distribution of opinions in electronic format. An electronic citation and filename will be added to each opinion placed on the court's electronic bulletin board, page breaks will be added to the electronic file, opinions may be batch down-loaded rather than individual down-loads as in the past, and opinions will be available on the bulletin board in both Wordperfect and ASCII formats.
Electronic Citations. The electronic citation will assign a court-generated, vendor neutral, reference number to opinions at the time of their release. The electronic citation is intended to avoid the proliferation of various electronic citations developed by vendors and to provide a common reference for all users of electronic and CD-ROM systems. The electronic citation is considered to be a parallel citation to the opinion in addition to the citation in the published reporter series.
The court encourages the use of the Sixth Circuit electronic citation by bench and bar when citing cases to or from the Sixth Circuit. While there will be no penalties for not using the electronic citation, the court and the bar will find it easier to retrieve cases from the various electronic publishers when the citation is used.
The Sixth Circuit maintains the distinction between published and unpublished opinions.
The format of the electronic citation system, which is based on the recommendations of the Committee on Automation and Technology of the Judicial Conference of the United States is as follows:
Bulletin Board Enhancements. C.I.T.E. (Case Information Transmitted Electronically) is the court's electronic bulletin board. It has provided public access to the court's published opinions, calendars, docket sheets, rules, and other information since 1989. Effective January 1, 1994, there will be changes to the format of information on the bulletin board that will make it quicker and easier to down-load information from the court. For example, it will be possible to choose to down-load a group of opinions or docket sheets in a single operation rather than on an individual case by case basis as in the past. In addition, opinions will remain on the bulletin board for a longer period of time in the future.
Opinion Format. Beginning on January 1, 1994, the electronic version of opinions that are placed on the court's bulletin board will be fully consistent in content and format with the printed slip opinion released by the Clerk's Office. Page breaks will be inserted into the electronic version, and footnotes will appear at the bottom of the "electronic page" rather than at the end of the file as in the past. In addition, users will have the choice of down-loading the opinion in Wordperfect or ASCII (plain text without any formatting codes) format. Each opinion on the bulletin board also will have a filename that is consistent with the electronic citation. For example, the filename for the opinion in the example above would be 94A1234P.06.
How to Access C.I.T.E. The telephone number for C.I.T.E. is (513) 684-2842. Use your computer and model software to dial into that number and answer the questions on the screen. If you are a new user, you will have to complete brief registration questions. From that point on, simply follow on-screen directions. Limited technical assistance is available by calling (513) 684-2953.

Tributes have been paid to a teacher who died three weeks after falling off her horse.
Jayne Goodwin, 44, of Lofthouse, had been riding with friends when her six-year-old mare suddenly bolted as she tried to get on.
She was unconscious when paramedics arrived at the scene close to her Springs Wood Black Horses Stables, off Canal Lane, on January 9.
Miss Goodwin suffered brain injuries in the fall and an inquest was told her ventilated life support was switched off on January 29.
Georgie Adkin, 20, had ridden with Miss Goodwin for seven years and said she was "the daughter Jayne never had."
Miss Adkin said: "Jayne was the most kind hearted person I've ever met.
"There will be a hole in my life forever but I hope I can make her proud."
Miss Goodwin, who was a teacher Half Acres Primary School, in Castleford, was in the process of closing a gate when her horse, Kali, rode off without her being properly seated.
Miss Adkin added: "The ironic thing is Jayne was the most safety-conscious person I have met.
"She always wore a body protector in case of a fall."
Miss Goodwin was originally from Stockton-on-Tees and leaves behind her parents Audrey, 76, and Frank, 82.
Janet Heald, who was a fellow owner of the stables, said: "She was a lovely, beautiful person who was dedicated to all her animals.
"It is such a tragedy that something like this has to happen to such a special person."
Miss Goodwin's funeral will take place at Rothwell Holy Trinity Church on Tuesday, February 11 at 1.15pm.
Family flowers, with donations in lieu to Leeds General Infirmay neurology unit and Hope Pastures horse sanctuary.

On the other hand, you could reject the convention that cpp sources are not distinguished by file extension - e.g. create a new convention that, say, a .cpphs extension is preprocessed by cpp(hs) to get a plain .hs file. Since Cabal is pretty new, this won't break any existing Cabal packages, and when converting non-Cabal packages to Cabal, there is some work to do anyway, so why not just adopt this as one extra rule to follow? This is just a suggestion - I'm in two minds whether it is a good idea myself, but it is at least worth considering the possibility. Regards, Malcolm

T-Mobile UK today revealed it took on 165,000 new contract customers during 2007 taking its overall contract base to 3.9 million.
In the same period the firm grew its pre-pay customer base by 241,000 to 13.4 million.
In total, T-Mobile added 406,000 net new customers last year in the UK, increasing its total customer base, including Virgin Mobile customers, to a record level of 17.3 million.
And the year culminated in a strong Christmas quarter with 306,000 customers added in the last three months of the year alone.
Jim Hyde, managing director of T-Mobile UK said: 'We have built on the exceptional growth we achieved in 2006 with a further strong increase in our customer base, despite the highly competitive mobile marketplace.
'The holiday gifting season was also good for us, particularly with our strong pre-pay offer, and we added more than 300,000 customers in the last quarter of the year.

CHISINAU – Dozens of Moldovans from towns and villages on the Romanian border lined up at the Romanian Embassy in Chisinau to apply for border-traffic passes that allow visa-free entry into the neighboring EU country, RFE/RL's Moldovan Service reports.
The embassy began accepting applications for the certificates on March 1 – the first day that the EU Border Traffic Convention between Romania and Moldova went into force.
The agreement allows visa-free border crossing in both directions for people with the certificates. But their movement is restricted to 50 kilometers from the border.
Moldovan authorities estimate that up to 1.2 million Moldovans – those living within 50 kilometers of the Romanian border – are eligible to apply for the certificates.
Romania imposed visas for Moldovan citizens after Bucharest joined the European Union in 2007. At the same time, Romanian authorities encouraged Moldovans to apply for Romanian citizenship.
Romanian President Traian Basescu estimated that about 1 million Moldovans applied for Romanian citizenship in 2007. Several hundred thousand Romanian passports are estimated to have been issued to Moldovans between 1991 – when it gained independence – and 2006.

They don't mind not being protected in their home state? I have no problem with someone following the law in VA, so I don't really care what the OP does in VA within the law.

September 1997
What would happen if the world woke up one day and there were simply no Jews left? Would the world be worse off?In Does the World Need the Jews?
Gordis suggests that on the eve of the twenty-first century, one of the chief sources of malaise among contemporary Jews is that many cannot answer this critical question.
Though many Jewish community leaders now speak of an American Jewish continuity crisis, Gordis sees a very different problem. The issue, he argues, is not continuity, but identity. American Jews simply have no conception of why they matter or what their tradition stands for.
In this sure-to-be-controversial book, Gordis argues that by assimilating so thoroughly into American culture, Jews have lost their distinctive voice. What emerges is a dramatic and compelling agenda for American Jews who want to believe that Judaism still has a reason to survive.
Acclaim for Does the World Need the Jews
A passionate, persuasive plea for loyal Jews to become serious Jews.
Rabbi Harold Kushner, Bestselling author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People
Daniel Gordis has a rich and variegated mind, the sort that makes stunning and otherwise ignored connections.
Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, author of Jewish Literacy and Jewish Wisdom

Craig Cromwell enters his seventh season as an assistant coach for Valparaiso in 2015. His duties include blocking, film analysis/exchange, team travel and organizing the Crusaders' recruiting efforts.
In his first six seasons with the Crusaders, Cromwell has helped guide Valpo to 140 victories and the six most recent of the program's 13 straight 20-win seasons. In 2010 and 2013, he helped Valpo to berths in the league championship match, while he was part of a staff that coached the Crusaders to runner-up regular season finishes in 2009, 2012 and 2013. He has helped coach Taylor Root, three-time Horizon League Defensive Player of the Year and the league's Newcomer of the Year in 2009, as well as 16 All-League honorees.
At the prep level, Cromwell has coached the Chesterton high school boys volleyball team to back-to-back Indiana state championships in 2014 and 2015 - leading the program to a pair of state titles in its first five seasons. He has guided the St Patrick boys' volleyball program to consecutive CYO championships (2010-2011), and coached the Lakeshore Region (Boys' U15) team to a fifth place finish at the USAV Beach HP Championships in 2011. He is the owner and coach of Enigma Boys Volleyball Club.
Prior to arriving at Valparaiso, Cromwell served as an assistant coach for four seasons with the Chesterton high school girls program. During his four years, the Trojans went 109-29 and earned the program's first-ever conference championship in 2008. He was part of the Post-Tribune's Coaching Staff of the Year in 2007.
Cromwell also brings a wealth of additional volleyball experience to the program. He has coached for the Trojan Volleyball Club and Diamond Elite Volleyball Academy. Cromwell has instructed at Penn State and Indiana University.
Cromwell was IMPACT certified by USA Volleyball in 2008, and has served as an instructor for the Volleyball Professionals of EVP. He also is a standout player, playing regularly across the country in numerous pro beach tours with over 23 years of playing experience.
Cromwell and his wife, Lisa, reside in Chesterton. Their son, Kai, currently plays collegiate volleyball at Lewis University.

DE KALB — No matter that the University of Nevada-Las Vegas' defense is leakier than a sieve.
Or that the Running Rebels were guilty of yielding 166 points in their last three outings, enough points to win a couple of basketball games.
DE KALB — No matter that the University of Nevada-Las Vegas' defense is leakier than a sieve.
Or that the Running Rebels were guilty of yielding 166 points in their last three outings, enough points to win a couple of basketball games.
And so what if UNLV's offense ranks last in the Big West in touchdowns?
This game between Northern Illinois and UNLV was still a battle for first place in the Big West.
Forget about the Huskies' 0-3 non-conference record, which included a 44-0 loss to Kansas State last week.
If nothing else, NIU proved again that it can play in their its after thrashing UNLV 62-14 Saturday before a homecoming crowd of 22,805.
The win boosted NIU's record to 3-0 in the Big West, its best start ever, and 3-3 overall. UNLV dropped to 1-5 and 1-1.
"We felt this was a very important game for us," said NIU coach Charlie Sadler. "In some ways, we didn't know where we were as a football team. We played hard against three excellent teams and lost.
"We needed to play someone who was comparable to the rest of the Big West teams to find out if we were good or not."
On this day, NIU was record-setting good.
The Huskies set a Big West record for rushing yards in a game with 456.
Charles Talley posted a personal best, rushing 25 times for 214 yards and two TDs. Ditto for Scott Florence, who ran for 143 yards and two touchdowns.
When the slaughter was complete, NIU had racked up 683 total yards on offense, the second-best in its history behind the 806 yards the Huskies rolled up against Fresno State on homecoming 1990 in a 73-18 win.
What made the day especially sweet for NIU was that it was coming off a dismal offensive performance, managing only 84 total yards last week.
Aaron Gilbert, who passed for 4 yards last week against Kansas State, was 15 for 22 for 197 yards.
So big were the holes for Talley that he only had to "make people miss a couple of times. The only people tackling me were in the secondary," said Talley.
The victory has sparked talk of a Big West title for the Huskies, which would mean a trip to the Las Vegas Bowl.
With conference games against Utah State, Arkansas State and Louisiana Tech left, NIU still has a long way to go to make that a reality.
At least one person,though, thinks the Huskies are capable of winning the crown: UNLV coach Jeff Horton.
"They're certainly big enough and strong enough," said Horton. "I told Charlie after the game that if he comes to Vegas, I know some places he can hang out."

by Marc Bastow | September 25, 2013 4:19 pm
Dear Ms. Mayer,
I'm Marc Bastow, a Yahoo (YHOO[1]) shareholder as of January. I bought into YHOO back in January[2] — partly because I believed the company had untapped potential in the online world, but mostly because I felt your charisma and marketing vision would carry Yahoo toward a better future (and stock price).
For the record, I'm thrilled so far. YHOO is up nearly 60% since I bought in, and my doubting colleague Jeff Reeves[3] just shakes his head every time I bring it up.
But with my chips still on the table, I'd like to ask you a favor: When the Alibaba IPO[4] goes live and your 24% stake translates into billions of dollars … do you mind spreading some of that around via a special dividend?
Hear me out:
I realize that a lot of the momentum in Yahoo stock[5] has been built on Alibaba's success, so once it completes its IPO, you won't have that regular influx from the Chinese e-commerce business. You know, the portion you get from quarters like Alibaba's Q1, in which it raised $1.38 billion in revenue and $668 million in profit.
Still, estimates say the IPO could raise as much as $15 billion, which would make your stake worth up to $3.6 billion — which would give you room to both thank shareholders now and plan for the future.
I know you're probably itching to put some of that to work in acquisitions, but you've already made 15 deals since May alone — including a $1.1 billion deal for Tumblr — so it'd probably be prudent to start digesting those deals instead.
I know you might be thinking about stock buybacks, but I'm not a huge fan. Yes, you can play the earnings game by slashing shares and thus EPS, but let's face it — companies often buy at the wrong time anyway[6]. If that money's going to be mismanaged, I'd rather it be by my own hand once I've cashed the dividend check.
I'm not advocating something quite on the scale of what AOL (AOL[7]) did with the proceeds of its patent sale to Microsoft (MSFT[8]) — in which AOL dumped the whole $1.1 billion between dividends and buybacks. But even spending roughly a third of that money ($1 billion) would result in a $1 per share special dividend, which would be an extra 3% boost to shareholders' annual return.
Again — you've done plenty to filter the cash through buybacks and M&A. But sometimes, shareholders want something a little more direct.
Marc Bastow, Assistant Editor at InvestorPlace.com, who still was long YHOO as of this writing.

Gosselin: Despite Travis Frederick's success, Eric Reid might have been wiser draft choice for Cowboys
Columnist Rick Gosselin answered questions in a chat Tuesday. Here are some highlights.
Question: I have read your column and you seem to suggest Dallas should have drafted Eric Reid. Do you really think Reid would be better than Travis Frederick who has been graded as the best run blocking center in the NFL in 2013?
Rick Gosselin: In light of the fact the Cowboys fielded the worst defense in franchise history last season, yes, Eric Reid might have been the wiser choice. Especially when most draft boards had Frederick available when the Cowboys were selecting in the second round. Earl Thomas had a greater impact on the NFC champion Seattle Seahawks than Max Unger.
Question: From our perspective has the grousing about Jerry jones increased significantly in recent history? Is it possible that in the near future it reaches critical mass and the Cowboys lose fans? There is a whole generation now that knows no dallas success unlike kids in the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. Do you think jethro realizes that unless this organization turns it around soon the bills will come due?
Rick Gosselin: The longer the Cowboys go without competing for a Super Bowl, the louder the grousing will become. I think there's more skepticism toward Jerry now than there was in 1999, 2004 or 2009. But that's not stopping fans from filling up Cowboys Stadium to the tune of 90,000 on game days. Jerry can live with the criticism. What he can't live with is apathy -- and that doesn't appear to be anywhere on the horizon.

An industrious performance against Bolton last night, conducted in the midst of a swirling blizzard, lifted them out of the relegation zone. And as long as they can exhibit these sorts of characteristics on a regular basis, it would seem deserved for them to remain safe.
Admittedly, Stoke's away form has left little to be desired, but they have made up for it at home. Goals from James Beattie and Ricardo Fuller ensured that Bolton's first ever visit to the Britannia did nothing to damage what has been an impressive season at the stadium. Now they must build on this "smashing result", as Stoke manager Tony Pulis put it. "It is important now that we take it on," he added.
It is a routine at this ground for the opening riffs of Eminem's Lose Yourself to be pumped out before the teams' entrance. Its objective is to motivate the men, one suspects, but if it has a detrimental effect on their opposition too, all the better. The song's sentiments certainly seem to have registered in the subconscious of the Bolton back four, for they were lost in the moment in the 14th minute when one of Stoke's lofted balls made a re-entry on the edge of their area.
Tasked with the clearance, Andy O'Brien opted for a toe-punt instead of a controlled pass, which arrived at the feet of Stoke midfielder Glenn Whelan. Finding his opposition's defence disordered, Whelan threaded his pass straight through them to Beattie. Wearing a red turtleneck top with a white patch over his throat under his shirt, Beattie looked rather like a wacky vicar, but there was nothing benevolent about his finish, which was leathered straight past Jussi Jaaskelainen.
"It was goal that had to be seen to be believed," Bolton manager Gary Megson said. "You won't see a worse goal conceded up and down the country."
Bolton reordered. Johan Elmander, who had forced Thomas Sorensen to tip over the bar off Matthew Taylor in an early attack, had a crack from 25 yards, but his shot drifted high. Taylor tried from a free-kick, but Sorensen flung himself to his near post and palmed to safety.
The Danish goalkeeper was called into action after the resumption when Mark Davies' free-kick went dangerously close, and only Sorensen's leap at the last second prevented the ball from nestling in the top corner.
But it was Stoke, still toiling, who struck. Whelan, becoming something of a serial assister, fired goalwards. Jaaskelainen blocked superbly, but Fuller was ready and waiting to hammer the ball into the roof of the net.

Talking it over: Old trees
Each time I travel to and from my home, I drive by the farm site where I grew up. This can be a source of comfort but at times, also a source of distress. Not because of the people who live there, because they are wonderful friends, but because of the memories that come on so quickly as I see changes and get flashbacks from my youth.
Last week, after a nasty wind storm went through, I traveled that road and encountered a large tree from my childhood farm site that had fallen across the road. I felt a twinge of pain as I looked at that tree because this was one of several trees that I played in and around quite often.
The tree was really old and rotten, but in my youth, was a strong and healthy part of the farm yard. As children, my siblings and I could climb up its trunk, build forts around the base, tie swings to the branches, or just play among the roots. It was one of several trees that was perfect for playtime or just idling away some time in a secluded secret spot.
This tree was just one of several of my favorite old trees on the farm that have bit the dust or been reduced to ash. The old groves were some of our favorite play areas but now, when I walk through them, I barely recognize some of the places where we played beneath and within. However, the memories of building forts, climbing to great heights, and conquering enemies around these trees, will never be lost.
It is comforting to note that the current residents of the farm site are committed to planting new trees as the old ones decay and die. New life to replace old and potential fun and comfort for future generations.

There are also reports Markham Elementary School kids stripped off their clothes in class.
The Oakland Tribune says the teacher, whose name hasn't been released, is now on administrative leave while the investigation continues into last week's allegations.
Oakland school district spokesman Troy Flint says the principal learned Wednesday of the allegations after a student came forward. A letter was sent Thursday informing parents that there was an investigation.

Our Special Needs Grandson has taken the class twice, once as a review and it really helped him to understand there are so many bad people out there. He learned to fight back and yell and that NO adult needs the help of a child, never. I can't thank Mika & her crew enough for all they do to make our kids aware of this and to keep them safe. THANK YOU!!!

My husband had an early shift at the hospital today. He was supposed to get up about about 5:15 in order to get ready for his shift. Lucky for him I woke up at about 6:20 a.m. and realized that he hadn't gotten up yet!
As I was waking him up I realized that I was in horrible pain. The lower right side of my abdomen was just killing me. The was, and still is, similar to what I think a cross between appendicitis and a kidney stone feels like. Still … Chris had to get ready for work so as he went off to take a shower and shave I got his breakfast ready for him.
Aren't I good wifey? In total pain and still taking care of my man. Uh huh – just a typical woman probably.
Chris went off to work and I settled on the couch with the puppy. Poor Midnight ended up spending more time in her crate today than out though since my pain continued all day. Lucky for me it did get a little bit better, but I had fevers at least four times so far today.
I spent most of the day on the couch watching TV, and surfing on the computer, browsing through a furniture catalog to get ideas for some posts on one of my other sites and trying on and off to sleep.
So I think I only had three hours sleep last night and so far only 10 minutes sleep during the day at about 3:30 – just before Chris came back home from work.
It's a good thing I got up early for Chris sake, but bad for mine … I'd much rather have spent my day sleeping rather than in horrible pain.
Man I hate having Crohns.

When the joy of a new baby is replaced with fear for their survival we want the very best facilities for the babies and their parents as they embark on their rollercoaster journey of care that may take months to reach a "happy ending".
Our Neonatal Unit was built 40 years ago when the hospital first opened and is now outdated as medical advancements mean there is so much more life-saving equipment in this very small space. The unit was built with babies and not parents and siblings in mind; parents looked through the glass windows and watched their babies being cared for. However we now know medically that it is critical for the wellbeing of babies to spend as much time as possible with parents. The new unit will be considerably bigger with more space around each incubator, a room for families and siblings and a room where we can discuss with parents the care needed for their baby and on occasion to deliver bad news.
Our charity exists not to replace NHS services, but to provide the "extras" over and above core NHS services by enhancing and improving facilities for our patients.
The Babygrow Appeal was launched to raise money to build a new Neonatal Unit that will provide better facilities and a more spacious environment for the babies and their families.
To date we have raised £1.75 million which demonstrates the public feeling and support the appeal has generated.
Christmas 2015 was very busy for the unit and the lack of space could be seen each day.
With your support our aim in 2016/17 is to raise £550k which will enable work to commence on this urgently needed upgraded space

CALGARY - In a summer in which it appeared Jay Feasters hands would be tied in so many ways, the Flames GM found some wiggle room in one of the most unlikely of places: Up the middle.
For more than a decade, the Flames have struggled finding quality centremen to not only complement Jarome Iginla, but to round out the other three lines with capable pivots.
Yet, when asked what prompted the move that sent 34-year-old Daymond Langkow to Phoenix for Lee Stempniak Monday, Feaster cited the teams depth where it matters most.
Make no mistake and with no disrespect to Langkow the move makes sense on every possible level for the Flames as they save US$2.6 million in salary and nab a younger, more flexible player in the prime of his career.
But it was the startling depth at centre that made the move the biggest of no-brainers.
Although Brendan Morrison worked well with Jarome Iginla and Alex Tanguay on the top line last year, the club is going to give young Mikael Backlund every chance to start the season between the big boys as Morrisons knee heals.
Olli Jokinen played a solid second-line role last year and David Moss has the full confidence of the coaching staff that he can continue to improve on his switch last season from wing to centre.
Pricey Matt Stajan is very much a work in progress as the team hopes his conditioning and confidence improved over the summer so he can contribute in a third-line role, at best.
When Morrison returns, hell fit in nicely wherever needed.
Back to the deal, and its a beauty for Flames fans who wondered how on Earth Feaster was going to wriggle out of the fiscal handcuffs he inherited this summer.
Feaster insists it was the Coyotes interest in Langkow that started the conversation a chat that ended with the Flames asking Langkow to do what Robyn Regehr did earlier this summer: Waive his no-trade clause.
Langkow did so most likely because of his history in Phoenix, allowing the Flames to sever ties with a $4.5 million contract that would have ended unceremoniously next spring.
Despite his stirring comeback from a neck injury late last season, the gritty leader is still a risky proposition given his age, his injury, his style of play and the year off a gamble the Flames couldnt afford to lose given his price tag.
With the 28-year-old Stempiak, you have a two-time 27-goal scorer who is in search of a new contract next year when his $1.9 million (cap-hit) deal runs out.
Even Feaster said Monday what everyone in the hockey world already knew about Stempniak, which is that the versatile winger has always played his best hockey in contract years.
If hes comfortable in Calgary, produces as a top-six forward and returns to form, chances are good he and the club will be able to come to terms moving forward.
After all, thanks to moves like these, the Flames will certainly have the cap room.
For those unable to read between the lines, this most certainly means Niklas Hagman has all but been written off as a Flame. Given his $3-million price tag, hell have to be one of the best goal scorers in camp to avoid being sent down to the minors, where hed collect the final year of his deal outside of the Flames cap.
All told, Feaster now has more than $3 million to peruse waiver wires, trade options and even free agency from now until seasons end a number he could double should Hagman be sent down.
Not a bad off-season for a fellow whose goal was to shed salary and get younger while also retaining key building blocks moving forward.
Few could have guessed the teams newly-perceived flood of talent up the middle would help the cause.

There is a wedding coming up at church. I have known the couple since they were kids. I originally planned to make them a quilt, but finances and time have caused me to rethink my gift.
What I came up with, I think is REALLY cool, but it will be a wall hanging, that will take up a 4 foot square space. Is that too big? I really don't want to reveal what I am planning to them, but also don't want to make something they will shove into the back of the closet and never look at.
Oh, and it really won't work too much smaller.
Do you usually question your gift reciepient's preferences before making a gift?

Hi there,
I added a logo to my website that is 950 px wide, much wider than the 200 px suggested, but I really like the way it looks. When I first navigate to the home page my main menu lines up correctly on the right. However once I click on any page, the menu jumps to the left. Then, when I refresh this new page the menu jumps back to the right. And as you click around to the different pages, the menu seems to just keep bouncing back from left to right sporadically.
Anyhow, I'm guessing this is a result of me using the large logo, but is there anything I can do to make the menu stay on the right without reducing the size of my logo?
Any thoughts on this?
No love on this one, huh?
I feel so sad and lonely. Please answer my calls or I'll have to cry myself to sleep again.
The container itself is only 930px.
Can you give us a link on so that we can check?
HI Ismael,
I tried making the logo 930 px but that didn't do it. : (
The site is here: http://www.tigersonaleash.com
I was trying not to go live until I fix up this menu issue, so here's a login:
un: Kriesi
pass: Support
Let me know what you think.
Hi Lou,
Past the following code into your Quick CSS field on the propulsion settings in your dashboard:
.main_menu {
float: left !important;
That will stop your menu from "jumping" !
It works! Amazing! Thanks so much!
You are welcome, can you make sure you set the topic flag to "RESOLVED" please, I can't do it as I am not official support staff.
Good luck with your website!
Thanks for the Assist :)
Let us know if you need anything else tigersonaleash and for next time, bumping a topic puts it in the back of our Queue as opposed to bringing it the front. We go oldest posted item in a support topic first.

The Football House in New Delhi had unexpected visitors on Wednesday. Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, accompanied by her boyfriend Raj Kundra, stepped inside the headquarters of the All India Football Federation (AIFF), showing more than just passing interest in Indian football. Shilpa, who co-owns the IPL Rajasthan Royals team with her London-based businessman boyfriend, spent some time at the AIFF headquarters as general secretary Alberto Colaco was kept busy fielding questions."It was a casual meeting," Colaco said after the conclave which lasted for more than an hour.
"Shilpa and Raj were quite enthusiastic about Indian football and wanted to know about various development projects, our competitions and the general football structure.The meeting went off quite well," continued Colaco.Those in the know said both Shilpa and Raj are keen followers of the game and are nursing an idea of raising a top level team for domestic competitions."Both of them had met up with (president in-charge) Praful Patel.
They are good friends, and it was Patel who asked them to visit the AIFF headquarters and learn more about the game," disclosed Colaco.Almost all of a sudden, Indian football seems to be getting its dose of glamour. When contacted, a close associate of Shilpa Shetty confirmed that the couple were very keen on owning a football team in India."It is Raj Kundra who is very keen on associating himself with football in India in a big way. He intends to own a football club in India," said the source.

Canadian Western Agribition has reported a record-setting profit of $307,616 for the fiscal year ending Jan. 31, 2012.
At the organization's annual meeting in Regina May 31, chief executive officer Marty Seymour said increases in attendance, sponsorship and sales were responsible for a remarkable turnaround from a $205,000 loss the previous year.
More than 126,000 visitors attended the 2011 show, including a strong international contingent.
Livestock sale revenue was up 17 percent and the rodeo audience was 15 percent higher.
Sponsorship was nearly $100,000 higher than 2011.
On the expense side, the show cut costs in some areas, such as marketing, by pulling functions in-house. It also cut the exhibitors' reception, which will return this fall.
In addition to covering last year's loss, Agribition plans to use its profit to replenish its contingency fund and put aside funds for facility improvements. The first investment will be in improving wash racks in Canada Centre Arena, Seymour said.
He told those attending the meeting that Agribition is first and foremost a beef show.
"Everything else stems off of the cattle," he said. "It's the heart of the event. It will continue to be the heart of the event."
However, the show will continue to explore ways to include all facets of the industry. A grain expo is planned for this fall's show, for example.
It will also continue to focus on drawing more urban people to the event. The show contributes $27 million to Regina and the province each year.
The 2012 show will be held Nov. 19-24. In 2013, it will be held earlier because Regina is hosting the Grey Cup.

Enhanced biodegradation and adsorption for treating dye-containing effluents
|Ip, Wui Man
|Issue Date
|The aim of this study is to design a biological fixed bed reactor to remove the color of azo dyes continuously. A bacterial consortium able to decolorize azo dyes was firstly isolated from a local dyeing house. The bacterial consortium was further isolated and one of the strains was selected and identified as Aeromonas sp. by 16S rDNA analysis. The decolorization of azo dyes was found to be non-specific, non-growth related and first order reaction. The decolorization works best at 37℃ in a slightly alkaline enriched medium under static condition. Only limited substrate inhibition can be found in the dye concentration (50-400 mg/L) studied. A series of activated carbons were produced from bamboo scaffolding waste by phosphoric acid activation with different conditions. Two high surface area (2123 m2/g) and mesopore volume (1.801 cm3/g) bamboo activated carbons were produced at 600℃ with impregnation ratio of 2 (BACX2) and 6 (BACX6), respectively. These two bamboo activated carbons together with other commercially available adsorbents including peat, bone char and F400 were investigated for their adsorption capacities and reversibilities. The adsorption capacity and reversibility of BACX6 were found to be the highest. It suggests that mesopore volume is important for the adsorption of the large dye molecules and weak attractions were formed between the reactive dyes and BACX6. Finally, BACX6, F400, bone char and one inert glass support (Siran) were selected and immobilized with Aeromonas sp. to investigate their color removal efficiency in the batch and fixed bed system. An enhanced color removal performance was found in the batch system and high azo dye conversion rates were achieved in the small upflow fixed bed bioreactor (UFBR). The UFBR packed with BACX6 showed the highest decolorization efficiency and was successfully removed 1.44 g Reactive Black 5 and Acid Red 18 per day with hydraulic retention time of 6 minutes. The continuous process seems to be a very effective system for the azo dye reduction and is able to overcome different operating shocks.
