Trojans dethrone the Knights
SPRING VALLEY — To be sure, the Fieldcrest Knights were formidable foes for the Mendota Trojans in the championship tilt of Hall's Colmone Classsic. Coming in, Fieldcrest had won three straight Colmone Classics, while also notching six of the last seven, as well as eight of the prior 10.
All told, Fieldcrest has hoisted the championship hardware a record 11 times – Hall comes next with six – but it was the Mendota Trojans who ultimately earned their first-ever tournament title, downing the Knights in overtime, 67-62.
"Fieldcrest is a phenomenal team," said Mendota coach Jan Thompson. "What have they won? How many years in a row? They were going for four possibly this year. I mean, they're a great, great team. So we knew it was going to be a tight game.

Im wondering if my son can use this gun for deer hunting with slugs and also use for pheasant hunting.Answers
if you want it for deer hunting you need a slug barrel ($200) and it is awesome for pheasant hunting, if your son is young it is a bit on the heavy sideTop 250 Contributor
you should get a slug barelA:
I got my son the same gun for almost the same purpose. You can either spend 499 dollars on a Remington combo youth gun or you can just shoot the slug, but it would be less accurate/ far or get a fully rifled shot gun barrel alone. But if you live in a certain state, you can use buckshot on deer.Details:
Why does the website say $319 but the gun counter at my local store says $369 and up?Answers
319 dollars is probably the price for buying it online. That or there might be a different version that you requested.Details:
At 25 yards I couldn't get a single pellet out of 20 to even hit a standard size poster board with 3 in Remington #2 & #3 bucket shot with a full choke in it and extra full Remington choke in. Has anyone else had this problem?Answers
Top 250 Contributor
no it has worked well for meA:
You probably hit the edges. Try and use slugs. But remove the choke first.Top 100 Contributor
at 20 yards if you cant hit a posterboard with a shotgun you may want to consider shooting lessons at your local range.Details:
I've heard it rusts pretty easily, so if I go hunting and it starts raining, how bad would it be?Answers
Top 250 Contributor
well i dont thik it would rust bad at all like noneA:
Hmm, I went hunting with my son before and it was raining cats and dogs. But it survived the storm. I think it takes about 24 hours of being 100% in water to make it rust badly.A:
Same as with any gun that's subjected to inclement weather, as long as you make sure to break it down and oil it it will be fine. I had the youth 20 ga. for about 8 years and hunted with it a lot in snow and rain...it never rusted on me because I took care of it. If you just throw it in the safe/case and never oil it, it will rust, as will any gun. But if you make sure to maintain it, the 870 is the most reliable shotgun on the market.1 of 1

The best education systems in the world aren't obsessed with smaller class sizes like we have been fixated in Alberta for several decades now. It turns out our approach is the Alberta disadvantage. It has cost us hundreds of millions of dollars to reduce class sizes, but instead of continuing to lead the world in educational outcomes, as Alberta did a decade ago, the latest testing from the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development's Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) shows us trending downwards.
Shots to the head are commonplace in the NHL, but that doesn't mean that is or should be normal or acceptable. Especially with a class-action lawsuit pending that alleges the NHL historically failed to inform players about the short- and long-term consequences of brain trauma.

sonofatailgunner SEE COMMENTS IN RED BELOWThere are gaps in the missions Dad went on, sometimes weeks, even a month or so, at other times they might be several days in a row. [Mostly that was not usual except for lead crews who flew intermitently.] How was who flew when decided? [Squadron Operations assigned who flew, when and in which aircraft.] Sometimes Dad or other members of his crew would show up on the load lists for other aircraft. [The crew was assigned to available aircraft, not necessarily any one A/C Crew members could be individually assigned to fill in in for absent members of another crew] Was this volunteered or by assignment?

Indians upset #4 Vicksburg Monday
Sports Editor
It was a battle of former Big 8 Conference members when Yazoo City took on Vicksburg Monday night at Indian Gymnasium. However, it was the Indians that swept the visiting Vicksburg Gators in prep basketball action Monday night with the Lady Indians winning 53-40, and the Indians upsetting #4 Vicksburg Gators, according to Jackson's Clarion Ledger.
Indians 47,
Gators 32
Trailing 6-4 late in the opening quarter, a Clarence Johnson bucket gave the Indians a 8-6 advantage to close out the quarter.
In the second, Edward Davis sent the Gators on a 8-0 run with 5:50 left in the half at 14-11. However, the Indians played strong team ball to regain the lead heading into halftime at 17-16.

I had Ubuntu installed on my laptop. I installed Windows 7 and now I can't access Ubuntu. But the partition is there. I thought I would get a choice of operating systems at the start but I don't. I want them both. How do I get a choice of operating systems during system start up?
This will re-install GRUB, which was removed by the Windows installer. You'll be able to boot into both operating systems now. | ||||
| |||
You installed Ubuntu and with it a bootloader called GRUB2. Now you have installed Wnindows with its own bootloader and it overwrites GRUB2. The easiest way - for the beginning - is to install ubuntu again with the bootloader. That will not overwrite the Windows Loader, but it integrated the Windows Loader in the GRUB2-Menu and you can choose the System you want to boot at startup. This is called Dualboot. | |||||||||

The Sports Xchange
NCAAF Team Report - Ball State - INSIDE SLANT
Arkansas State is headed to the GoDaddy for a third straight time, this season under the direction of Bryan Harsin, former offensive coordinator at Texas and Boise State.
Each of the two coaches who preceded Harsin led the Red Wolves to Mobile, and then got a job running a program in the SEC. Hugh Freeze was at Arkansas State for one season and then was hired by Mississippi, and Gus Malzahn's one season with Red Wolves in 2012 landed him the top job at Auburn, which he has in the BCS National Championship Game.
Ball State coach Pete Lembo has put together three straight strong seasons and he is considered a top candidate for the open jobs at Connecticut and Wake Forest.
But whether under new leadership, or taking direction from the coach who got them this far, the Cardinals and the Red Wolves will go at it on Jan. 5 in Ladd-Peebles Stadium.
It will be a contrast of styles, with the Cardinals (10-2) taking to the air with regularity, and the Red Wolves showing a preference to pound the football on the ground.
Ball State led the Mid-American Conference and ranked ninth in the nation in passing offense with an average of 333.3 yards per game. The Cardinals also rank 13th in the nation in scoring offense, averaging 40.1 points per game.
Arkansas State (7-5) moves the ball on the ground through a variety of personnel and approaches, and averaged some 205 rushing yards per game.
There are additional contrasts at play between these two teams.
The Red Wolves are riding a streak of three straight Sun Belt Conference championships, winning outright titles in 2011 and 2012, and sharing the crown with Louisiana-Lafayette this season.
Arkansas State has gone 20-3 in the Sun Belt Conference over the last three seasons, posting a .869 winning percentage in conference games.
Ball State has played in the shadow of Northern Illinois during its run of three straight Mid-American Conference West Division titles. The only MAC loss the Cardinals suffered this season was to the Huskies.
Under Lembo for the last three seasons, the Cardinals have improved each year, and are 24-12 overall and 17-7 in the MAC during that stretch.
Arkansas State, which won four of its last five games to get this far, relies on a multi-pronged approach to running the football, with running back Michael Gordon rushing for 717 yards and 10 touchdowns, quarterback Adam Kennedy rushing for 514 yards and four scores, and running back David Oku adding 511 yards and six touchdowns.
The Red Wolves have rushed for nearly 2,500 yards and 30 touchdowns, while Kennedy also passed for 2,349 yards and 11 touchdowns.
Ball State moves on the arm of senior quarterback Keith Wenning, who has passed for just shy of 4,000 yards this season and thrown 34 touchdown passes, while hitting on better than 65 percent of his passes.
The Cardinals are well-balanced, with running back Jahwan Edwards rushing for 964 yards and 13 touchdowns.

graphics mode
Many video adapters support several different modes of resolution, all of which are divided into two general categories: character mode and graphics mode.
Of the two modes, graphics mode is the more sophisticated. Programs that run in graphics mode can display an unlimited variety of shapes and fonts, whereas programs running in character mode are severely limited. Programs that run entirely in graphics mode are called graphics-based programs.
In character mode, the display screen is treated as an array of blocks, each of which can hold one ASCII character. In graphics mode, the display screen is treated as an array of pixels. Characters and other shapes are formed by turning on combinations of pixels.

I discovered Dune by accident when It first came out and have been in love with it since! I will not use any other and if I have to wait for it I go without. The ordering was easy and delivery was quite fast. I will continue to buy from this site
August 14, 2013
Written by Leslie
Love Dune! It's my signature scent. Mature but exotic. Spicy and sophisticated. Not what I'd consider a floral scent. Impossible to find in most department stores so being able to buy it online is great.
July 10, 2013
Dior Dune is an excellent fragrance. I read that Kate Middleton wore it. It's very relaxing and like no other fragrance. The bottle has received an award I read. It has patchouli and woods and I enjoy wearing it when I'm relaxing at home and it's good for a night on the town. I don't wear it at work since it's projection is good, but the perfume's strength may not be appropriate at work. My husband likes the fragrance as well. It's a good scent when you want a change from fruity florals. I don't see a pre-teen or teenager wearing this scent. It's a perfume worthy of the Dior name and one of the best ones out there. I recommend it.

I have enjoyed Dune and the smell is nice. Can be worn anytime but for me scent doesn't last very long. Nevertheless i will continue to buy it.

The central bank has also raised FII investment in government securities with immediate effect by $5 billion to $20 billion.
Yesterday, the RBI allowed qualified foreign investors (QFIs) to invest in mutual fund schemes that hold at least 25% of their assets (either in debt or in equity or both) in the infrastructure sector under the current $3 billion sub-limit for investment in mutual funds related to infrastructure. This relaxation would be subject to review, it said.
QFIs were allowed to invest in MF debt schemes up to a limit of $3 billion within the overall limit of $25 billion for FII investment in non-convertible debentures/bonds issued by Indian companies in the infrastructure sector.
The central bank has also slashed the lock-in period for investments in infrastructure debt funds (DFs) for non-resident investments to one year. It said that the residual maturity of the instrument at the time of first purchase by an FII/eligible IDF investor should be at least 15 months. "Any reduction in lock-in for foreign investors in infrastructure funds would definitely help mutual funds," says Debashish Mallick, CEO & MD, IDBI Mutual Fund.
Fund officials say that they have to wait for the final guidelines from SEBI.
The RBI also raised FII investment limit in government securities with immediate effect by $5 billion to $20 billion.

Divorced from context, most two and three-year olds might as well be colorblind; certainly they look that way when asked to correctly identify colors in a line-up, or accurately use color words in novel contexts. What's more, psychologists have found that even after hours and hours of repeated training on color words, children's performance typically fails to noticeably improve, and children as old as six continue to make major color naming errors. This is seriously bizarre when you consider all the otherthings that children at that age can do: ride a bike, tie their shoes, read the comics, and – mistake a blue cupcake for a pink one? Really? Does that actually happen?
Apparently yes – which is where 046M, and his color-naming compatriots came in. Armed with the tools of cognitive psychology, and a gang of nineteen year-old Nancy Drews ("research assistants"), we decided it was high time to figure out 1) why it takes so long for children to learn colors, of all things, and 2) whether we couldn't shortcut the process.
As ever, just because something seems easy, doesn't necessarily mean that it is. For one thing, knowing which range of hues counts as which color is something that can't be purely innate, since color categories are not universal across human cultures. Different languages vary both in the number of basic color distinctions they make (ranging anywhere from two to over twenty) and in the ways they draw those distinctions on the spectrum. Comparing how Himba speakers and English speakers distinguish colors on a map is a bit like comparing how Democrats and Republicans might gerrymander the same district: there's just not much overlap. In Himba, a northern Namibian dialect, the color "zoozu," cuts straight across what we would think of as black, green, blue and purple, while "serandu" encompasses much of pink, purple and red. Even in languages with highly similar color vocabularies, a given color won't necessarily pick out the exact same set of hues in one language as it does in the other (check out Korean and Russian for starters).
What all this means is that the learning problem consists in not only learning a word to color mapping, but also in learning the peculiar color "maps" your language uses in the first place. The task is further complicated by the fact that color is ubiquitous in everyday life. At any given time, we are surrounded by a multitude of hues, as we move through a world of faces and places, objects and surroundings. This overwhelming ubiquity is not a feature of other common words, such as nouns. Imagine, for example, that a child is trying to learn to distinguish "dog" from "bear." The learning problem isn't so difficult in this case: unless you're watching Old Yeller, dogs will tend to be seen and talked about in contexts in which bears aren't present, and bears will tend to be seen and talked about in contexts in which dogs aren't present. This means that if you're three, and you're trying to learn what things out there in the world you might expect to match to the word "dog," you'll fast learn that bears aren't one of them.

16-year-old Kirk DeMoines has Down syndrome and thanks to support from the community, he's having the time of his life.
GLADWIN -- A Gladwin teen is not letting anything get in his way of making the most of his high school experience. 16-year-old Kirk DeMoines has Down syndrome and thanks to support from the community, he's having the time of his life.
"My favorite sports team is football," said Kirk DeMoines, a Gladwin High School Sophomore.
The football field is probably where you would find Kirk on Friday nights this fall and he's been a busy guy. The high school sophomore was on Gladwin's homecoming court and could be seen on the football field directing his marching band as drum major.
Kirk's parents decided to put him in public school at an early age, and after looking at their options, they figured mainstreaming their son was the best choice.
"The support of the community, the schools, his family, grandparents has really made all this possible," said Kirk's Father Trevor DeMoines. "Kirk tries real hard at everything that he does and if he doesn't succeed we only encourage him to try harder, and that's exactly what he does."
Kirk's classmates like to have a good time with him, even dancing in the school store. He works in the store and has mastered the Slurpee machine.
"They don't look at Kirk as only having Down syndrome. They look at him as he's just another friend to them…"
School administrators are proud of Kirk's achievements at Gladwin High School.
"He blossomed. I think he knows everybody in the building. He doesn't hesitate to say good morning... how are you doing? He's just very social," said Linda Stodolak, Gladwin High School Assistant Principal. "Kirk is the kind of guy that if you're having a bad day you want to go talk to him because you're not going to have a bad day for much longer."
Even though Kirk still has some time left in high school, he's already looking towards the future. He wants to become a singer in Las Vegas.

Jim Kenyon is the Chief Investigative Reporter for CNY Central.
An alleged case of child endangerment in the city of Oswego is sure to fuel further criticism of Family Court Judge Kim Seager.
CNYCentral's Jim Kenyon has learned that on May 28, 19-year-old Melissa Nichols was charged with child endangerment after she allegedly left her 3-year-old daughter unattended for up to 10 minutes.
According to court documents, Nichols's daughter was able to leave the home at 297 West 5th Street and walk a block and a half away during a storm wearing nothing but a t-shirt.
Nichols has faced similar charges before. In July 2010, Fulton Police accused Nichols, then 17-years-old, of subjecting her child to living in squalor. Police said Nichols had burned the child with a cigarette and that the child often went days without eating.
Sources familiar with the case tell CNYCentral that the child, then 19-months old, was placed in foster care for 17 months before Judge Kim Seager returned the child to her mother's custody.
The source also tells Kenyon that after the charge was lodged against her last month, the child was again placed in foster care. Judge Seager again returned the child to Nichols over the objections of the Oswego County Department of Social Services.
As we reported in February, Oswego County Legislators have lodged a formal complaint against Judge Seager. Lawmakers were concerned that her rulings were putting children in danger.
Lawmakers cited several incidents in which Judge Seager took children out of foster care and placed them in what lawmakers considered dangerous living conditions.
The County Administrator, Phil Church, says that lawmakers and county officials have had two meetings with Chief Administrative Judge James Tormey in January and February. They are in the process of arranging another meeting with the Unified Court System.
We contacted Judge Seager's chambers in Oswego. Her court attorney, Karen Brandt, told Kenyon that, "Technical rules prevent her from discussing any cases."
Nichols is due in court in June 28 to answer the charges.

NBA Draft 2012: The Next Ten (11-20)
Posted By Yannis Koutroupis On January 8, 2012 @ 4:15 pm In All,Main Page,NBA Draft | No Comments
Whereas in our top ten, which were released earlier this week and can be read here, were fairly clear cut, there's a lot more room for debate in the rankings of players 11-20. That's because of how talented they are as individuals and how loaded the 2012 draft is poised to be. You'll notice that this list is really heavy with frontcourt players, the strength of this draft class:
11) John Henson (North Carolina) – 6'11, 220 lbs. Power Forward
Throughout the last three years Henson has steadily developed into the fine player he is today. While it's happened slower than expected (many thought Henson would be gone as a freshman and definitely by his second year) it's hard to not be impressed with who he is today.
The additional time at North Carolina will pay off significantly for Henson as a pro. He simply hasn't been ready to make the jump until now and there's no telling what leaving too early would have done to his career.
Henson still needs to put on some muscle, but the addition of a jump shot to his offensive game has made him a major factor, which he wasn't early on his career. Defense will always be his calling card. He's very active on that end and a terror protecting the rim.
12) Meyers Leonard (Illinois) – 7'1, 245 lbs. Center
For Leonard this season will always go down as the year of his arrival. A highly-touted recruit coming out of high school believed to be capable of dominating, Leonard was virtually invisible as a freshman. It took a toll on him mentally, but the Illinois' coaching staff deserves a lot of credit for keeping him on the right track and helping him develop into the standout that he is now just a year later. Playing for the Team USA U19 squad, which he did at the encouragement of his coaches despite thinking he wouldn't make the team, also did a great deal to help his once-wavering confidence.
When Leonard steps on the floor now, he does so with the intention to make a big impact on the game. On most nights he does, although he's still inconsistent, which is understandable for a young player like himself.
While it may have seemed out of the question before the start of the season, it's looking more and more likely that this will be Leonard's last season at Illinois. His stock has skyrocketed and a team in the lottery is going to select him with hopes that his biggest strides have yet to be made.
13) Quincy Miller (Baylor) – 6'9, 210 lbs. Small Forward
Previously going through a little freshman slump, Miller has picked back up his aggressiveness over the last three games. He's looking more like the standout that he did at the beginning of the season prior to the return of teammate and fellow top-ranked prospect Perry Jones III. Even during the time of his slump, though, Miller's stock only dropped off slightly as there's a lot to like about the athletic and versatile 6'9 forward.
Miller has the ability to impact the game no matter where he is on the floor. He's still finding his way on a talented Bears team, though. Had he been on a team that wasn't as loaded from top to bottom, he'd probably be putting up bigger numbers night in and night out.
More important than anything, Miller has shown that he's fully recovered from the ACL surgery that kept him out for his entire senior season in high school.
14) Austin Rivers (Duke) – 6'4, 200 lbs. Guard
Billed by many as the top high school player in the nation last year, Rivers hasn't blown anyone away with what he's done as a freshman but has been impressive nonetheless. The fact that he is such a younger player often gets overlooked due to the hype that he came into the year with and his last name being Rivers.
When it comes to getting into the lane, few do so better than Rivers. His ball handling skills are adept; staying in front of him is a taunting task. His decision-making skills once he gets in there leave a little bit to be desired, but that will come in time.
The major issue at the next level will be what position Rivers plays. He's always going to be a scorer first and foremost, a gifted one at that. Whether or not he can consistently defend the shooting guard position is up in the air, though.
15) Arnett Moultrie (Mississippi State) – 6'11, 230 lbs. Power Forward
Letting his emotions get the best of him after the O.J. Mayo scandal, UTEP Miners head coach Tim Floyd cleared house of players with NBA aspirations his first day in El Paso, Texas. Moultrie was the first casualty. Now Floyd is watching him lead the 16th-ranked Bulldogs while he struggles to stay .500 and win in Conference USA.
Playing in a better conference after a year away from the game due to NCAA transfer rules, Moultrie has established himself as one of the best power forwards in the country. He's putting up 16 points and 11 rebounds a night, making up for lost time.
Everything happens for a reason and Moultrie is undoubtedly in the best place for himself right now. At UTEP the level of competition he was playing against would have always been a question. Now he's proving himself against the best and more than holding his own.
16) Kendall Marshall (North Carolina) – 6'4, 195 lbs. Point Guard
There are few things in basketball better than watching a pure, natural-born point guard like Marshall facilitate an offense. His 10 assists per game are second only to Iona's Scott Machado, who edges him just slightly with 10.3 a night. Marshall's 5:1.2 assist-to-turnover ratio is what really sets him apart from every other point guard in the country, though. Yes, he is living a point guard's dream as he's surrounded by several future first-round picks, but that type of efficiency is rare to see regardless of how good the supporting cast is.
Marshall almost never looks to score, averaging only five points a night. That's largely because of his pass-first mentality; he seldom looks for his own shot. When he does shoot, the results aren't great. He's not much of a threat from beyond the arc and struggles to finish in the paint due to subpar athleticism.
He does a great job of disguising his weaknesses in college, but that'll have to change in the NBA. At 6'4, he'd be wise to add some post moves to his game as he should have a size advantage against opposing guards on most nights.
17) Mason Plumlee (Duke) – 6'10, 235 lbs. Power Forward
Up to this point Plumlee has put together a very solid junior campaign that warrants moving him up a few spots on the draft board. However, after the way that he disappeared for the vast majority of his sophomore year, which also started off strongly, he's going to have to keep it up throughout the duration of the season in order to stay here.
There's a lot to like about Plumlee. He's improved every single season, is a ridiculous athlete for his size and has really put on some strength during his time at Duke. The big question is whether or not he's going to put everything together and become a great player, or struggle to do so and just be mediocre.
Trying to project how good Plumlee will be five years from now is a surefire way to get a headache, but he's too promising to not invest in.
18) Tyler Zeller (North Carolina) – 7'0, 250 lbs. Center
The first senior to crack the top 20, Zeller has steadily developed over the last four years into someone who has the makings of a very serviceable center in the NBA. There's nothing flashy or overwhelming about his game, he just goes about his job the right way and works extremely hard at it.
Zeller runs the floor like few other big men in college basketball do. He's often the first big up the floor and is the recipient of easy buckets because of it. In the low post he's got a nice set of moves he can go to as well.
Having the prototypical size of a NBA five man helps negate some of the negativity that comes with being a four-year player in the draft. Yes, Zeller may be one of the oldest prospects, but he's also NBA ready.
19) Terrence Ross (Washington) – 6'6, 195 lbs. Shooting Guard
This season has contained a lot of growth for the product of Portland, Oregon. Blessed with the ideal size and athleticism for an NBA shooting guard, Ross has upped his averages significantly as he's now scoring 14 points, grabbing six rebounds and dishing out nearly two assists a game. While his Huskies may be disappointing as a team overall, he's developed at the necessary rate to get into the top 20.
Ross' shot selection is not a strength, which will have to change at the next level where he won't have the kind of freedom that he does now. He's also not the most reliable three-point shooter considering how much he likes to shoot from beyond the arc. However, he often makes up for a ill-advised attempt on the defensive end, where he thrives.
Not in the same class as Florida's Brad Beal or UConn's Jeremy Lamb, Ross still deserves to be mentioned as one of the more attractive options the draft has to offer at the two spot when you consider everything he offers on both ends of the floor.
20) Patric Young (Florida) – 6'9, 245 lbs. Power Forward
A teammate of Leonard's on the U19 team this summer, Young's story almost mirrors his. Last year he was stuck watching for the majority of games behind a veteran-laden frontline. Young, projected to be an impact player in year one, used that as motivation during the summer and has come back a completely different looking player.
Young's now the featured big man inside for the 14th-ranked Gators, putting up 12 points, six rebounds and a block a contest. He does the dirty work in the paint for the perimeter-oriented Gators and his production is going to be as critical to their postseason success as it has been so far.
Playing the draft's most-talented position, Young can move up or down a few spots based on a team's preferences. One thing is for sure, though, he's firmly positioned himself to be taken somewhere in the early-to-middle portion of the first round.
Make sure to check back later this week when we wrap up our analysis of potential first round picks with a look at players 21-30!

American fans of the British costume drama are getting a head start on season three via the Internet.
By MICHAEL HEWITT / THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
Usually, watching "Downton Abbey" is a solo respite for Sally: just her, her china teapot and the show for 45 pleasant minutes on Sunday afternoon. This week, though, she will be getting together with some friends in Irvine to tune in. It is the season finale, after all.
Wait! Before anyone files for divorce because a spouse screwed up the DVR programming (again), let's be clear: It's the season finale in the United Kingdom. Season three of "Downton Abbey" doesn't arrive on PBS until Jan. 6.
PBS SoCal will rerun the first two seasons, beginning with a marathon showing of season one Nov. 4, starting at noon. Starting Dec. 2, episodes of season two will appear at 9 p.m. and will run until season three begins on Jan. 6. (PBS SoCal members will get a chance to get an official sneak peak in a special showing at the Queen Mary Jan. 5.)
Having trouble finding "Downton Abbey" in your TV listings? It runs under PBS's "Masterpiece Classic" umbrella, which is what you will need to look for when tuning in or programming your DVR.
But Sally, like tens of thousands of other American fans, just couldn't wait, so she has been using her computer to watch episodes that have been posted on various websites by British fans who record and share them. (Because this falls in a gray area – uploading shows without permission is illegal but watching them is not so clear – Sally has asked that her full name not be used.)
Ironically, she came to watch the bootlegged episodes to avoid being "spoiled" by other fans online. The Internet doesn't respect national boundaries, so when Britain's ITV launched the third season Sept. 16, American fans faced the choice of watching now or avoiding their favorite "Downton Abbey" sites until next year.
"I was a friend on Facebook of all these 'Downton Abbey' pages," Sally said. When the spoilers started, she set out to unfriend all those pages when she discovered that some page followers were posting the episodes for their fellow fans.
"I succumbed to the temptation."
Naturally, this is a problem fans of all overseas television series face, but "Downton Abbey" is not your everyday import.
"It's a cultural phenomenon." said Ed Miskevich, station manager of Costa Mesa-based PBS SoCal, which airs "Downton Abbey."
The show is the biggest hit for PBS in ages, racking up the networks best ratings since 2009. Season two, which aired in January and February, averaged a 4.7 rating – almost three times the PBS average of 1.7, Miskevich says. (A rating point represents the percentage of U.S. TV-owning households that tune into a show.) On Super Bowl Sunday, it earned the distinction of finishing second in the ratings to the game. It's an even greater hit in the U.K.
The series, a costume drama set in the early 20th century, draws fans with its richly drawn characters,
"You feel an emotional connection with their stories. You really care about them," Sally said. "You develop and affection for all of them."
In particular, it draws women fans. About 69 percent of those who watch the show on PBS are women, Miskevich said, compared with 55 percent for the typical PBS series.
There's also an intensity of devotion to "Downton Abbey" that few TV series generate. "It's one of the most buzzed-about shows on social media, Miskevich said. Doubt that? Just check out the dozens of Facebook fan pages, including Addicted to Downton Abbey, Downton Abbey Cooks and Free Our Mr. Bates. It's the kind of promotion you can't buy. Which is why Miskevich doesn't sweat the spoilers and gun-jumpers.
"I don't think it hurts us at all," he said. "It gives a sense to people here in the United States of what's coming. They think of British viewers as having discriminating taste. If the British people like it, they're really going to like it."
Not to mention the peekers figure to watch again when PBS gets around to airing the new season. Right, Sally?
"Of course," she said.

12 NBA Players Poised to Be Overpaid
It happens every year. Teams get a little cap space, gear up for free agency, and then spend like there's no tomorrow to make sure that they get the guys they think can best help their teams. Sometimes, you end up with an appropriately-priced (or even bargain) free agent like Paul Millsap for $8 million or David West for $10 million. Or, you get what the Detroit Pistons got when they splurged in 2009: $90 million worth of Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva.
The point here is free agency is a difficult thing to approach, and inevitably some teams are going to overspend to get the guys they want. The organizations who look to have the most space this year include Cleveland ($26.5 million), Phoenix ($26.2 million), New Jersey ($23.4 million), Boston ($23.3 million), Indiana ($21.7 million), New Orleans ($21.4 million), Houston ($17.2 million), Portland ($16.9 million), Toronto ($16.1 million), Charlotte ($15 million), Sacramento ($13.9 million), Washington ($12.4 million), Golden State ($9.9 million), San Antonio ($8.8 million), and Utah ($5.4 million).
That's a whole lot of money burning holes in a whole lot of deep pockets, and it doesn't even take into consideration any cap space that could be added by teams using the amnesty provision. In short, GMs and team presidents are about to spend like crazy on a free agency class that isn't even particularly impressive. There's just enough talent, though, to warrant king-sized contracts for players who don't quite deserve it, and this list is a starting point for a conversation about who those players might be.
Let's start with a conversation about big guys, because we've heard the old adage many times about how size is a premium in the NBA, and if there is a bright spot in this year's free agency class it's definitely the impressive number of centers that could easily start for NBA teams.
JaVale McGee (Restricted) – We saw in Game 3 of the Nuggets/Lakers series what JaVale McGee can be when he's at his best (16 points, 15 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 steals), and his performance since coming to Denver has been just good enough to talk Denver (or some other team) into throwing a whole lot of money in McGee's direction. He's a loopy kid at times, but his physical talents are impossible to ignore. Plus, he's only 24 years old, which makes it easier to justify a bigger contract because he still has room to grow as a pro. Denver probably isn't moving forward with only Timofey Mozgov and Kosta Koufos at center, so they'll be motivated to spend on the kid they traded Nene for. That means they might have to talk themselves into over-spending if a big market presents itself for McGee, as is expected.
Brook Lopez (R) – Unlike McGee, who really did show a lot of growth as a player this last season, Brook Lopez regressed, mostly as a result of ongoing injury issues. A kid that young and that big who has shown to be that injury prone this early in his career absolutely is a risky investment, but that won't stop some teams for overvaluing him when free agency hits. Brooklyn would love to use him as the centerpiece of a Dwight Howard trade, so there's a whole slew of subplots to worry about there, but strictly as a free agent independent of the Howard nonsense, Lopez has his issues. After a great sophomore season in which he averaged 18.8 points and 8.7 rebounds per contest, Lopez's rebounding numbers have dropped considerably in each of the last two seasons. It's a small sample size, but in Lopez's five games this year, playing over 27 minutes a night, he averaged only 3.6 rebounds per game. The year previous, in which he played all 82 games and averaged over 35 minutes a night, he managed a paltry 5.9 rpg. He'll get $10+ million a year this July for being a seven-footer that can score, but that could prove to be costly if the team also needs him to rebound and defend.
Roy Hibbert (R) – There's no questioning that Hibbert had the best year of his career this year, and he absolutely deserved the All-Star recognition he got back in February, but there's a strong possibility that Indiana offers him a max (or near-max contract) this offseason. Asking whether or not he's really worth that much is a fair question. Take, for example, Indy's first round series with the Orlando Magic. In games 3 and 4, Hibbert averaged 16 points per game, which are the sort of numbers you'd expect out of an All-Star center. In Games 1 and 2, though, he averaged only 6 points. Of course, he's also averaging 4.3 blocks and 11.8 rebounds for the series, but it's his inconsistency on the offensive end that makes some wonder whether he's a max-level guy. Even if he's not, there's a good chance he could get paid that way, though Indiana does want to be prudent heading into free agency because Hibbert's isn't the only extension they'll have to face in the next couple of years. Darren Collison, Paul George, and George Hill will soon demand relatively sizable contracts, as well.
Spencer Hawes (Unrestricted) – Well, he's roasting the Bulls in Philly's first round shocker of a series, and were it not for injuries Hawes could've been a serious candidate for Most Improved Player. Philadelphia knew they'd lament only giving him a one-year deal last offseason (for a reasonable $4.1 million), but he'll undoubtedly command considerably more. If he goes in the $6-7 million range and manages 10 points and 8 rebounds a game per night, it's possible to consider him reasonably-priced. If he goes for much more than that, though, it's a short distance to considering him overpaid.
Robin Lopez (R) – This was the first year in Robin Lopez's pro career that he didn't start a single game, and that came as a result of Marcin Gortat's breakout season in Phoenix. The Suns are going to have little reason to drop any sort of big bucks on a back-up like Robin, who could command a decent contract from a team looking for help at center. He only averaged 5.4 ppg and 3.3 rpg in 14 minutes per contest last season, but he showed just enough flashes this to perhaps talk some team into thinking he could do more with bigger minutes. It wouldn't be shocking to see some team offer Lopez their full midlevel exception, but there's a strong possibility that would be entirely too much.
Ryan Anderson (R) – Coming off a season in which he not only led the league in three-pointers made and attempted, but also established career-bests in points (16.1 ppg) and rebounds (7.7 rpg), Anderson definitely looks like the kind of guy who could just miss the All-Star team every year for the rest of his career. He's shown steady improvement in his three seasons since coming to Orlando in the Vince Carter trade, but will teams pay him based on his arc of improvement, or for the player he was this past year? Make no mistake, Anderson is a great player who deserves way more than the $2.2 million he made in 2011-2012. But despite that, guys have done this before, playing the best ball of their lives in a contract year and then reaping a huge deal that's just impossible to live up to after that. The only other power forward to lead the league in three-pointers was Rashard Lewis, who, ironically enough, is arguably the worst contract of all time. And guess who paid him all that money? The same team that will have to decide how much to re-sign Anderson for.
Ersan Ilyasova (UR) – Right behind Anderson in MIP voting was Milwaukee's Ilysaova, who made headlines a few times this season with monster stat lines (remember that 29-point, 25-rebound performance back in February?). He's looked like an absolute double-double machine at times, but if you search through his game logs from this last season, there are just enough 3-point, 2-rebound performance sprinkled in there to be worrisome for teams considering offering him a big deal this offseason. That could just be a result of Scott Skiles's play-the-hot-hand style of coaching, but it also might be the player's own fault. Ilyasova made a huge jump as a pro this year, but again, we're talking about a big season happening just in time for a new contract. That has a way of motivating guys to juice up their stats. Is that what happened this year with Ersan?
J.J. Hickson (R) – Is it time for us to believe in Hickson yet? We've always wanted to, dating back to his time in Cleveland, but year after year he's fallen short of expectations. After heading to Portland this year, however, Hickson averaged 15.1 ppg and 8.3 rpg in his 19 games with the team. Had he played out the season in Sacramento and continued on his 5 ppg pace, he barely would've been a blip on the free agency radar. Instead, he's primed to make decent bank, and nobody has any idea if he really deserves it. The year before he was traded to Sacramento, he averaged almost 14 points and 9 boards a game. After the trade… nothin'. Could he cool off similarly in a new situation next season? Has he played well enough to warrant a big deal from Portland, where he knows he fits in? Whoever throws that contract at him has to decide what he's really capable of, and what he's really worth.
O.J. Mayo (R) – Between Rudy Gay, Zach Randolph, Marc Gasol, and Mike Conley, the Memphis Grizzlies already have $54.1 million on the books for next season and $58.5 million the year after that. There's no way they're going to be able to offer Mayo a huge payday despite his solid end of the regular season and first round of the playoffs (well, Games 1 and 2, at least). Some team is going to have to put out a pretty sizable offer sheet to pry Mayo away from Memphis, who despite their financial crunch would still love to keep him in Tennessee. We know the story on Mayo—he's great in bunches, but through four years in the league he's still painfully inconsistent. It would be easy for a team to overpay him with the hope that he'd improve further or fit well with more minutes in a different system, but going too high wouldn't necessarily be prudent. It would be easy to see him going for $6-8 million a season, but if he pulls $10 million/per, the buyer may end up with a little bit of remorse.
Nick Young (UR) – The kid has hit some big shots for the Clippers in the Memphis series, but he also had a Game 4 in which he only scored five points on 1-for-4 shooting from the floor. That's just an example of the sort of thing Young has been doing for most of his career. Since scoring 35 points on Valentine's Day, Young has only scored over 20 points once, proving that he's not necessarily the big-time scorer a team may think they're getting by offering him a fat contract this summer. He's talented, and he's young at only 26 (he'll be 27 in June), but he's already gone a long way towards his ceiling. Investing him as someone who will continue to improve doesn't seem particularly wise.
Gerald Green (UR) – Green was one of the best stories of the year, coming back in full force for the Nets this past season and finally proving himself as a real, honest-to-goodness NBA player. He played for peanuts, though, typical of a player getting a short contract coming off time overseas and the D-League, and he'll be due for a sizeable payday this summer when he hits the open market as an unrestricted free agent. He averaged a career-high 12.9 ppg in 31 games for the former New Jersey Nets, but he also hadn't been in the league for two full seasons before blowing up in 2012. We want to believe he's here to stay, but is he a fluke, or is he really ready to earn a big-time NBA deal?
Goran Dragic (UR) – You have to wonder if the Houston Rockets training staff put something special in their point guards' water to make them superhuman, because both Kyle Lowry and Goran Dragic had career years this past season in Texas. Dragic got his shot when Lowry was hurt, but he immediately went on a tear and almost certainly did enough in 28 starts (17.8 ppg and 7.9 apg) to earn a significant payday this summer. Considering how much the league relies on point guards these days, that doesn't seem outside the realm of possibility, but is 28 games enough to show us that this kid is for real? It's very possible that what he did this year in Houston was a flash in the pan, and overpayment for Dragic is also well within that realm of possibility.
Something to keep in mind with this list is that none of this is to say these guys are bad players. In fact, the overwhelming majority of them absolutely deserve some kind of raise next year. The fact that they've played well at the right time shouldn't be held against them; it just means that there's a possibility that they end up getting more money than they're actually worth because of their timely success.
Teams want to believe they're getting a great deal on a guy, and sometimes the bidding for a certain player can get out of control pretty quickly. Agents are good at making that sort of thing happen because that's how they make their own livelihoods. It doesn't always help the actual teams, though, who end up hampered down with bad contracts as a result of those out-of-control negotiations.
Not all the guys on this list will cause buyer's remorse. A few will, to be sure, but this is a fair list of possibilities for who those free agent busts might be. Who else do you think should be on the list? Check out the rest of this year's free agents here, and let us know in the comments who else you think could end up overpaid this summer.

[Below is the original script. But a few changes may have been made during the recording of this audio podcast.]
Chocolate is the food of the gods, according to the ancient Mayans, and a favorite of Halloween trick-or-treaters. But do these sweets come with an environmental price?
The fruit of the cacao tree--native to South and Central America-- is now mostly grown in West Africa. Small farmers tend some 70,000 square kilometers of the tropical trees and produce about 3.5 million tons of the stuff yearly, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization. But the trees need shade to survive, so no clear cutting of forests.
Also, such farmers typically don't use fertilizers or pesticides, meaning you can gorge on chocolate to your environmentally-conscious heart's content. Literally, dark chocolate is good for your heart.
So the environmental cost of chocolate isn't in the chocolate itself but in the way it gets to your pumpkin pail: shipping, trucking and all those wrappers destined for the landfill.
There is a human cost as well. Human rights groups such as Save the Children have shown that kids are being enslaved to produce the cocoa. And small farmers don't see much of the $13 billion in chocolate sales money worldwide.
If you want these farmers to get a fair cut, look for brands with the Fair Trade Certified label. It would be quite a trick to hand American children treats derived from African children's slave labor.

BJCP Category: 23 Specialty Beer
Terrapin Brewing Co. <visit site>
This is a beer that one can drink by the pint with pub grub and pizzas but with enough alcohol to justify the designated driver since you will not stop at one. more >
Aroma: Complex hop aroma with floral, woody and citrus character. A touch of caramel and toasted malts provide a good backbone for the hops. Rye is perceptible but subtle, adding to the complexity. Clean ale fermentation with some apricot esters. No DMS. No diacetyl. Very inviting aroma. (9/12)
Appearance: Light orange/amber color. Clear but not bright; a bit of chill haze that's OK for an ale. Adequate head and retention. Would expect more head and longer retention given the ingredients. (3/3)
Flavor: Malt sweetness up front with a hint of toasty graininess. Rye is subtle, providing a level of depth and complexity to the malt. High hop bitterness finishes with some hop astringency in aftertaste, but well balanced with the malt. Hop flavor is also complex, focusing on citrus but with earthy and floral notes also. No DMS or diacetyl. Moderate fermentation esters and alcohol, all balanced to result in a quintessential American Pale Ale. (17/20)
Mouthfeel: Medium body; a bit fuller than most American pale ales, likely due to the rye. Smooth mouthfeel initially yielding to significant lingering bitterness and some hop astringency. (4/5)
Overall Impression: An excellent American pale ale. The percentage of rye used seems to be much less than that in a Roggenbier yet it contributes to the overall malt complexity that blends well with the considerable hop complexity and bitterness. This is a beer that one can drink by the pint with pub grub and pizzas but with enough alcohol to justify the designated driver since you will not stop at one. (8/10)
Something about this beer makes me want to share it with friends. It lends a homey feeling. It's comfortable. more >
Aroma: Orange citrus and piney hop aroma dominates. Rich malt aromas: toasty, grainy and a little spicy give support. Mostly clean fermentation, with light fruity notes in the background. Pine hop aroma becomes more pronounced as the beer warms a bit. (9/12)
Appearance: Golden and clear with rocky persistent off-white foam; a few larger bubbles, but streams of tiny bubbles continually rise from the bottom of the glass. Head creates a lovely Belgian lace. (3/3)
Flavor: Sweet grainy malt character up front with some subdued but definite rye flavor. Supports an assertive orange fruity, piney, spicy, complex hop flavor and pleasant bitterness. Balance is toward the hop character, yet grainy rye flavor and sweetness come through, especially in the finish. Grainy presentation and spicy hop flavor become more pronounced as the beer warms a bit. (16/20)
Mouthfeel: Medium body with medium carbonation. Not quite creamy, but smooth. No alcoholic warmth. No astringency or sticky cloyingness, despite the perceptive sweetness. (4/5)
Overall Impression: Something about this beer makes me want to share it with friends. It lends a homey feeling. It's comfortable. Intriguing in its complexity, and interesting in the way sweet, spicy and grainy malt flavor and piney hop aromas intensify with just a slight rise in temperature. Even with the assertive hop flavor and bitterness, this beer still has a sweet note in the finish that showcases the pleasant malt character. As complex as it is, it is still approachable. Quite balanced, very enjoyable. Something I'd like to have a cooler full of at a picnic by the river. (7/10)
Very nice beer with an interesting blend of rye malt and hop character. The creamy mouthfeel, hop bitterness and peppery spiciness from the rye work well. more >
Aroma: Spice notes, predominantly black pepper, with citrus and floral notes from American hops. Hops are not as pronounced as in most classic pale ale examples, but that allows some rye character to emerge. There is a slightly grainy, toasted malt in the background. Neutral fermentation character with low esters. (8/12)
Appearance: Light amber color with excellent clarity and head retention. Everything is right on the money. (3/3)
Flavor: Indistinct malt character, similar to an American wheat in that it primarily provides a backbone. Fairly assertive spiciness, again with black pepper notes. More American hops would be welcome. The hop bitterness is substantial—bordering on the IPA level—but not aggressive. The finish is somewhat dry but within bounds for the style. A slight graininess and a touch of acidity linger on the palate. (15/20)
Mouthfeel: Good body and creaminess, likely enhanced by the rye malt proteins. A slight astringency and soapiness coat the tongue after the beer is swallowed, but they offer only a minor distraction. (3/5)
Overall Impression: Very nice beer with an interesting blend of rye malt and hop character. The creamy mouthfeel, hop bitterness and peppery spiciness from the rye work well together and provide a complex flavor profile. The hop nose did not seem that fresh, and more flavor hops would also be welcome. The finish had a slight soapy character, but the beer was still enjoyable. (7/10)
A complex pale ale—lots of interesting flavors. The rye is noticeable and plays with the hops nicely. more >
Aroma: Medium-high spicy, grainy, grassy nose; hop-forward. The grain/rye character blends well with the hops. Pungent. Light esters—lemony. Otherwise clean. Rough character lingers. (8/12)
Appearance: Pretty golden-amber color. Fairly clear. Medium-size cream-colored head, small frothy bubbles persisted until beer was finished (probably due to the rye). (3/3)
Flavor: Medium-high grassy, earthy, spicy hop flavor with medium-high bitterness. Clean malt backbone provides balance to the bitterness, making the apparent bitterness seem more medium in balance. Rye flavor apparent, giving a grainy, rustic, slightly harsh finish. Hops are more apparent in the finish, which is moderately long but not as crisp as most American pale ales. (16/20)
Mouthfeel: Medium body, medium-high carbonation. Mildly creamy with some hop- and grain-derived astringency apparent in the finish. (4/5)
Overall Impression: A complex pale ale—lots of interesting flavors. The rye is noticeable and plays with the hops nicely. There is a grassy, spicy, earthy quality that could come from both rye and hops. Definitely an American pale ale—the hops are nicely showcased. The beer has a moderately full presence, heavier than most pale ales but it does feature the rye character very well. (8/10)

Although I haven't mentioned it to anyone, even my friend, Steve, who slogged the last 20 miles with me, I'm still spark-hot mad about my performance at North Fork. I should've finished under 8 hours easily but instead had an epic physical and mental melt down that trumps just about any of the 17 ultras I've run so far. Getting passed by 4 people late in a race is gut ripping for me and I can't shake the thoughts and reasons why it happened.
The positive outcome is that I've turned that anger into motivation to get where I know I can be in terms of potential. I've had long-standing, "one of these days" goals. I know I can run under 7 hrs on a reasonable 50 mile course, I know I can run a 3:45 50k, and I know I can run a 100 miler. I'm not going to allow doubts or excuses to enter my mind, not before events, not during, not even when the pain gets so unbearable that I never want to run again. I guess this is my public statement (to the 3 regular readers of my blog) that I'm going to put everything into these races and the training. I've always told people (and even believed) that I'm not competitive and don't really care about outcomes of events. With how I've felt about the North Fork race for the last three weeks, I know I'm competitive and care.
Now I have a blog entry reference for when I pussy out in training or races.
moving on...... I'm pretty pumped about pacing TW (the cop-looking character in the above photo). I have a gut feeling that if he runs smartly for the first 50 miles, he has a good shot at top three. He's his own worse enemy in this race and needs to go no faster than 9 hrs (ok, 8.5 hrs) for the first 50. If he gets there (Winfield) in decent shape, I intend to bust my ass to get him across the finish in a sharp time.
Oh, and 80 trail miles for me over the last 7 days in 4 runs (three straight days off).

All Dates/Times For This Event:
Beyond the Cover
"Beyond the Cover": A Book Arts Exhibit Opening Reception taking place on Thursday, Sept. 6, 2012 from 7-10 pm.
Beyond the Cover, a book arts exhibit is a show of works that open, using old books, either in their sum or their parts. In this series, the concept of 'home' is explored; where home like structures are created using book parts, found objects and collage materials with encaustic medium. The structures are created to symbolize the notion of things that make up 'home' on a spiritual and/or emotional level. The 'home' symbolizes the 'self' of deeper consciousness outside of the ego center. During a time in my life where great change is unfolding, the identity of self is questioned, explored and being reckoned with. Places where we might feel a sense of brokenness, also opens the doors to a place of "Maitri", loving kindness to self and a place where new stories to live by can be written, or created to be a guidance, such as in the "Oracle". In my artwork, I use found objects, antique findings, Bengali letters, personal iconography to explore visual narratives about life's ever changing experiences and tell them here as stories, in a book, with chapters paying most attention to the spiritual aspects of life, feminist politics and cultural concepts. The process and practice of visually creating allows me to delve into the mystic, experience intrigue, find solace, comfort and connection within my day-to-day human experiences.
Supria Karmakar and Patrice Baker present new work in encaustic and mixed media.

Philippians 3:3-14
When I was younger…at one time I was younger! I spent all my life basically landlocked, but now I had moved to Hawaii. One of the things that
I learned to do that I loved was to body surf. The learning curve was difficult and often painful. Having only encountered very small waves and almost nonexistent undertow of the East Coast, Waimea Bay and Sandy Beach were rude awakenings! The key is to "KNOW" what you're doing. This does not mean to have the knowledge of how to swim and what is water. It means to understand the fullness of what body surfing is…Becoming one with the water, conforming to its movement and speed. If you under shoot the wave you will miss it. If you out swim the wave…Depending where you are; if at Waimea the wave can hold on the bottom of the sea for quite some time; if at Sandy Beach you can literally freefall and face plant in the sand…And even break your neck. Before we can really appreciate something we need to "know" it.
As Paul has used himself as an example of why not to have confidence in the flesh, he is now going to exhort us to really...

PHILADELPHIA—Attorneys for a south Philadelphia woman accused of having intentionally killed her husband with a car are arguing that the death was accidental.
The Philadelphia Inquirer ( http://bit.ly/XR2RJu) says opening statements were delivered Tuesday in the trial of 31-year-old Keisha Jones, who is charged with murder and possessing an instrument of crime.
Authorities said Jones and 29-year-old Tyrone Taylor were driving home from a bar early Nov. 27 when they argued and she ordered him out of the car, and prosecutors argue that she then gunned the motor and crushed him against a wall.
Defense attorney Richard DeSipio told jurors that his client would take the stand. The defense says Jones was just trying to convince Taylor to get back in the car, and she is devastated by his death.

I have been reading some reviews and looked into books on anyons and topological quantum computation and I found it a little difficult to make out a short list of parameters and a clear and short list of mathematical structures needed to define an anyonic system. I would like to ask for help here. In Nayak et al.'s review I found the following list and would like to know, whether it is complete:
- particle species
- fusion rules
- F-matrix for recoupling of the anyonic charges
- R-matrix for the braiding
- topological spins
- S-matrix
For the maths structure, one needs a ribbon fusion category. Is this enough? And that about the spin is associated to $SO(2)$? Do I need to add a statement about that also into the list?
