As with many other genera in the Liliaceae sensu
lato, Allium has been segregated into a separate family
, Alliaceae
, by most recent authors
(R. Dahlgren et al.
. Rahn 1998; A. L. Takhtajan 1997; R. F. Thorne 1992) .Old World species of Allium are generally placed in subgenera
and sections
. Attempts to treat New World species similarly have gained less acceptance. H. P. Traub (1972) recognized subg. Amerallium, encompassing all of the x = 7 North American members
of the genus.
P. Hanelt (1992) placed the Old World x = 7 species also in that subgenus
, which includes all but three of the North American species (A. schoenoprasum, A. tricoccum, and A. victorialis), which have x = 8. These latter species have been placed in subg. Rhizirideum (P. Hanelt 1992) . Resolution
of the problematic subgeneric and sectional relationships
among Old and New World species will require much more extensive molecular and phylogenetic
analysis of the genus. The characters used in the construction of the following key
are the best that have been discovered for this purpose. Many of these are subject to sometimes rather wide variation
. It is anticipated, therefore, that it can be used successfully only with considerable understanding of the natural units
involved, their distribution, and comparison with descriptions
and accurately named specimens. The Allium bulb consists of a series of leaf bases, some with blades, others without, surrounding an apical meristem. The leaf bases are replaced annually as the meristem forms a new (renewal) bulb. Often the meristem will branch
, resulting in two or more bulbs being formed from a single parent bulb (increase bulbs) . In addition several types of rhizomes are formed in Allium. In some cases (e.g.
, A. validum) bulbs form atop a thick, iris-like rhizome that produces
new bulbs in succeeding years. In other cases (e.g., A. bolanderi, A. campanulatum, and A. unifolium) each bulb produces one or more rhizomes that in turn
produce a terminal
renewal or increase bulb. There is variation even in this type of rhizome. In some species (e.g., A. bolanderi and A. unifolium) the bulb producing the rhizomes disappears during the development of the rhizomes and new bulbs except for the roots
, which remain active
until the new bulbs mature
and become dormant
. In others (e.g., A. campanulatum) the bulb produces a number of very short rhizomes around the roots, each of which develops a very small terminal bulbel. At the same time, the parent bulb remains intact and produces a renewal bulb, or may divide to produce two or more large increase bulbs. As a result, specimens with this type of rhizome will have one or more large bulbs with a number of much smaller bulbels
among the roots. The underground parts of Allium are often critical for successful identification, and every effort
should always be made to collect them. The €œdirty€ brown or gray coats surrounding the bulbs are the only source for the cellular-reticulation patterns
referred to in the key. These should be carefully collected and preserved as part of any specimen. Several Old World species (Allium ampeloprasum Linnaeus, A. cepa Linnaeus, A. oleraceum Linnaeus, A. sativum Linnaeus, A. nigrum Linnaeus), grown as foodstuffs or ornamentals
, may be encountered and are certainly represented in North American herbaria. For this reason, these species have been included
in the key. Some do not reproduce by seeds and probably should not be considered as truly naturalized
in our flora
, although they may persist for long periods at or near places where they have been planted. Additionally, over 52 species contained in this treatment are considered choice
garden plants
and are readily available through catalogues
and garden centers. Locally, these species and possibly others grown as garden plants may escape
and become established
. It is inevitable, therefore, that numerous
specimens of these escapees
will be represented in North American herbaria and may muddy the boundaries of what is regarded to be the natural distribution. We have attempted in all cases to map what we consider to be the natural ranges
of these species, based on the specimens examined over the years. Material
falling outside these ranges
may include these escapees and should be suspect.[1]

Currently, Dr. Evitts is a Radiologist with The Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center, Corvallis, OR; Dr. Hoefer is a Radiologist with Inland Imaging Associates, Spokane, WA; and Dr. Schmiedl is a Radiologist with Seattle Radiology Associates, Seattle, WA.
Improvements in gradient performance have made the rapid acquisition of three-dimensional (3D) volumetric gradient echo data possible. Thin contiguous images of the abdominal organs can be obtained with isotropic voxels in a single breath-hold with resultant decrease in respiratory motion artifact and improved anatomic sharpness. 1 The volumetric image data can then be viewed in any desired plane. 2 This technique results in higher signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) (related to the longer repetition time) compared with spin-echo (SE) or fast-spin-echo (FSE) T2-weighted images or two-dimensional (2D) gradient-echo images. 3 Contrast-to-noise levels for hepatic lesions are better than for spin-echo T2 and comparable to fast-spin-echo T2-weighted images. 1
We have used this technique to obtain gadolinium-enhanced 3D spoiled gradient-echo images of the abdominal organs in multiple phases of enhancement (arterial, venous, delayed). This allows improved lesion detection and characterization by allowing assessment of lesion vascularity similar to that achieved with contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT). This technique provides an alternative to conventional CT in cases in which iodinated contrast is contraindicated. This article will introduce the reader to this technique, including its technical facets, and to illustrate several cases of its use.
Images were obtained on a 1.5 T scanner (Signa, GE Medical Systems, Waukesha, WI) with a phased-array torso coil. Three plane-localizer images are first obtained. The patient is then timed to see how long he or she can maintain a breath-hold. Slice thickness and coverage area are adjusted based on the patient's ability to hold a breath. Single breath-hold imaging of the organ of interest is achievable in the majority of patients imaged.
Our standard scan parameters include an echo time (TE) of 3 msec, representing a compromise between fat-water phase cancellation (occurring at 2.1 msec at 1.5 T) and signal loss due to T2* decay with longer TE times. Repetition time (TR) is set at minimum (usually approximately 7.6 to 7.7 msec) to reduce flow and susceptibility artifacts. Bandwidth is set to 31.25 kHz and is related indirectly to the other parameters. A wide bandwidth allows for a shorter TR and TE and therefore faster scanning but at the expense of lower SNR. A narrow bandwidth is preferred, resulting in longer scan times but higher SNR. We use a flip angle of 20š, which, in our experience, provides good tissue contrast. Others advocate higher flip angles of 30š to 60š.
Acquisition time is further reduced by using 0.5 number of excitations (NEX [fractional NEX]), which takes advantage of k-space symmetry, allowing sampling of just over half of k-space with mathematical reconstruction of the remaining data, resulting in a decrease in scan time by one-half.
Apparent spatial resolution is increased by using Zerofill Interpolation Processing (ZIP, GE Medical Systems ) . This post-processing technique improves scan resolution without increasing scan time. The trade-off is an increase in reconstruction time. When applied in the slice direction (Slice ZIP), there is no decrease in SNR. When applied in the x and y directions (512 ZIP), there is a small decrease in SNR. This technique improves the quality of reformations and maximum intensity projection (MIP) images and decreases volume- averaging artifacts. Gibbs ringing and truncation artifacts are increased with ZIP.
Noncontrast images are obtained first. Gadolinium contrast (20 mL) is administered through a >= 20-gauge needle placed in an antecubital vein at a rate of 1 to 1.5 mL/sec. The technologist instructs the patient on breathing while injecting the first 10 mL of contrast. The patient takes two deep breaths, then takes one deep breath and holds it. The first postcontrast scan is initiated and the remaining 10 mL of contrast is injected. This is followed by a 20-mL saline flush. Following the first scan, the patient takes a few breaths and then breath-holds for the venous phase and 5 minutes later for the delayed phase.
This technique can be used in place of CT to evaluate many abdominal and pelvic disease processes. The dynamic gadolinium-enhanced sequence is an adjunct to standard T1- and T2-weighted sequences and is helpful in characterizing renal masses (Figures 1 and 2), primary and secondary liver tumors (Figures 3 and 4), hepatic vascular disease (Figure 5), periportal masses (Figure 6), pancreatic masses (Figures 7 and 8), and rectal lesions (Figures 9 and 10).
Breath-hold 3D gadolinium-enhanced multiphasic abdominal MR is a widely available technique that can be used, with excellent results, in the detection and characterization of a wide variety of abdominal and pelvic diseases. Breath-hold imaging eliminates respiratory motion and improves anatomic sharpness. The 3D data set can, when needed, be viewed in other planes. Lesion vascularity can be assessed similar to multiphasic CT. Its use is suggested when CT with iodinated contrast is either contraindicated or equivocal. AR

On Saturday, November 10, Deputies with the Utah County Sheriff's Office responded to a report of dogs attacking sheep in the West Mountain area. When Deputies they found 7 dead sheep and at lease 6 others with varying degrees of injuries in the area.
With help from local citizens, Deputies located two residents who owned 3 of the dogs. Witnesses saw one of the dogs with the sheep that had been attacked but other 2 dogs were not witnessed in the act of attacking the sheep. Deputies were not able to prove that the dogs were the ones who attacked the sheep.
The owner of the sheep have said the value of the dead and injured sheep at $11,500.00.
The dog owners will be charged with allowing dogs to run at large, allowing attacks by dogs, and maintaining a public nuisance.

Blezinski: Gears of War female narrator revealed in Gears 2
While talking about the Gears of War 2 storyline with Danish site Gamereactor, Gears of War 2 producer Cliff Blezinski said that the identity of the series' female narrator will be revealed in Gears of War 2.
When asked whether the story for Gears of War 2 would focus on Marcus Fenix, Cliff replied:
"It is without doubt the story of Marcus but at the same time it's a story about the human race with its back to the wall," said Blezinski, translated from Danish by VG247.
"And in the sequel it's a lot about Dom and the two new characters Tai and Dizzy. There's also loads of back story about the Pendulum Wars, Jacinto etc."
"And what about that voice you hear in the trailers?" he said. "Those kinds of things are answered in 2."
We're hyped. Gears of War 2 is out later this year.

People are not buying places that are far away and we're also seeing that -- those are.
Our going on vacations are also older people lend so they're looking to stay close and cut down on -- travel costs.
All right well it depends on what your idea proximity is -- I can understand the frustration and expense.

A bonanza for those locales.
Well I think -- can and that's a little bit of good news 'cause we're seeing not only people going on vacations or -- cases as -- come close by.
But we're seeing vacation home buyers.
Also staying much closer people are buying -- vacation homes in Florida and Nevada rather than in -- places.

Cape Times
Climate change has altered the way states regard national security, as
they are faced with a major threat that has no defined parametres and
cannot be tackled by military means.
Climate change threatens not only the security of the state, but the
security of entire sections of their populations, and the threats to
Africa's security are "the most dramatic and urgent".
These were the findings of Denise Garcia of the political science
department at Northeastern University in the US and a research
associate at the international security programme at Harvard University.
In the latest Institute for Security Studies journal, Garcia writes
that security was traditionally defined in terms of threats to national
territory from a clearly defined enemy.
"Such threats could be tackled by strong armed forces and military capacity.
"Even in the face of the very real dangers posed by climate change,
most states are still preparing for traditional wars … that are quite
unlikely to occur.
"However, higher sea levels are more likely to be the cause of loss of
territories, a fact that states have only quite recently started to
realise," Garcia said.
One of the risks to national and human security is that climate change
would disrupt the capacity of states to generate wealth, and so would
decrease their GDPs, she said.
"Territories in this century will be lost not by wars, but by the forces of nature.
"It will probably take many years for an adaptation of postures, from a
military quest for security to one that seeks to address environmental
Government spending on military hardware had little relevance to
defence and security and could actually jeopardise security because it
diverted money from being spent in other areas.
"The real challenge that states today have to address is one of
populations at peril, not from military menace, but from climate
change, and these are threats to the very survival of the state and its
people," Garcia said.
Climate change would aggravate uncertain living conditions, particularly in Africa.
The breakdown on a huge scale to pursue wealth may lead to "instability
and ultimately failed states, and these will become the breeding
grounds for conflicts over resources".
Garcia quotes the 2007 Stern Review which states that in developing
countries, climate change contributes to increased illness and death
rates. The effects will spill over borders, leading to conflict.
Last year, a UN Development Programme human development report said if
no action were taken, climate change would result in 600-million people
being at risk of malnutrition because of collapsed agriculture.
The report also revealed that 1,8-billion people would be at risk from
water scarcity by 2080, 333-million people would be displaced on coasts
from storms and flooding and hundreds of millions of people at
increased risk from malaria.
A UNDP study had shown that there were strong links between climate change and the conflict in Darfur.
Lower rainfall and land degradation meant the land could no longer support both farmers and migrating herdsmen.

How to Make a Folder Out of Paper?
Making a folder out of paper is an inexpensive and creative way to customize your paper transport or storage. Being able to choose the materials for your folder allows you to customize it to fit your needs, whether it is a simple folder to store school papers or a professional portfolio to present your resume. You can size the folder to fit what you are storing, or you can create a standard-sized folder to be used for multiple purposes.
- Choose the paper you will be using. If possible, 11-by-17 inch paper is best, as it will allow the side seam to be folded instead of glued. If you want to make a professional or multi-use folder, cardstock is the best option, as it is sturdier than regular paper.
- Fold the paper in half lengthwise. If using two letter-size sheets, cut a length of paper about 1 inch wide and 11 inches long. Glue the strip along the join between the two sheets. Once the glue is dry, fold the paper in half along the join.
- Cut two pieces of paper 5 inches by 9 1/2 inches to form the pockets. Fold down 1/2 inch along the two short sides and one long side. Glue the pockets to the folder by applying glue along the folded edges.
- Decorate the folder however you like. If you want to create a folder with a professional appearance, you may want to print decorations onto the paper from a computer before folding and gluing.
- If you would like to place your folder in a three-ring binder, use a three-hole punch to make holes in the side. If you would like the folder itself to act as a binder, apply three brass fasteners, evenly spaced, at the fold.
How To Choose The Best Paper Folder?
Paper folders save time and money by quickly folding hundreds of sheets of paper in just minutes. Paper folders range from small units that sit on top of a desk to pneumatic (air powered) industrial paper folders. Paper folders are remarkably easy to set up and use and will pay themselves off quickly in time and labor saved. You will want to ask yourself a couple of questions before purchasing a paper folder.
How many sheets of paper will you fold per day?
- Paper folders greatly vary in size and price depending on the amount of paper you will fold per day. You will want to be sure you get a paper folder that will fold the quantity you require. It is always disappointing to get a machine only to find out later it won't meet your requirements.
- Most paper folders will give you a motor speed rating, usually worded "sheets per minute." Sheets per minute is the speed rating of the motor itself and not necessarily a rating on how many sheets it can fold in a day.
- It is not recommended to run a paper folder at top speed for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You will want to be sure and check on the duty cycle of the paper folder. The duty cycle is the actual amount of paper folds a machine can do in a day, week or month.
How thick is the paper you will be folding?
- All paper folders can handle standard 20# copy paper, but not all paper folders can handle card stock or extra-thin paper. You will want to check in the "specifications" table of the paper folder to find out exactly how thick a sheet of paper it can fold.
What type of paper will you be folding?
- Paper ranges in finish from matte to glossy. Friction feed paper folders, which use a rubber roller to pull in the paper, do not handle extra-glossy paper well and can jam. Pneumatic (air-powered) paper folders are designed to handle glossy paper. If you are not sure if your paper will work, feel free to send us a sample of the paper and we will test it prior to you making a purchase.
How large is the paper you will be folding?
- Most people fold 8 ½ x 11-inch paper, but some need to fold larger paper, such as an 11 x 17-inch piece of paper. Many medium to high-volume paper folders can handle larger-sized paper. Be sure to check the specifications of the paper folder you're looking at to determine exactly what the paper size range is.
Package Included:
- 1 x File Folder

Nikon Celebrates 80th Anniversary of Nikkor Brand
This year, Nikon is celebrating the 80th anniversary of the Nikkor brand. The brand's history began in 1933 with the first shipment of Nippon Kogaku's Aero-Nikkor aerial photographic lenses. Twenty-six years later, the company released its first SLR camera, the Nikon F as well as its first lens for Nikon SLR cameras, the Nikkor-S Auto 5cm f/2. Since then, Nikon has been at the forefront of lens development. The OP Fisheye-Nikkor 10mm f/5.6 fisheye lens for SLR cameras, released in 1968, was the world's first lens to incorporate aspherical lens elements. The Ultra Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8, released in 1962, served as the template for projection lenses employed in Nikon IC steppers and scanners. Total production of Nikkor lenses for cameras with interchangeable lenses reached 75 million in November 2012. Nikon's lineup of lenses for cameras with interchangeable lenses currently consists of more than 80 types of lenses, including fisheye lenses, ultra wide-angle lenses, super-telephoto lenses, zoom lenses, micro lenses, PC-E lenses, and 1 NIKKOR lenses.

Topsy-Turvy: A Camera Obscura Installation
Madison Square Park Conservancy's Mad. Sq. Art programme has announced a new installation to inaugurate the spring 2013 season: Topsy-Turvy: A Camera Obscura Installation by New York-based artists Sandra Gibson and Luis Recoder. "On view daily from March 1 – April 5, 2013, 10am-5pm, Topsy-Turvy will reimagine one of the world's oldest moving image devices into a life-sized 10-foot by 10-foot structure," the organisers say. "Park visitors will be able to enter the interactive, large-scale installation, which will utilize the physical properties of light to capture images of the surrounding Flatiron District in real time. This centuries-old artistic medium will alter how visitors experience the park and engage with the various elements of New York City's urban landscape through a new and exciting lens."

Downtown Delray Beach
Delray Beach, FL 33444
- Garage, Street, Valet
New Times Broward-Palm Beach's Description
Anyone who says South Florida's dining scene is dead just needs to show up in downtown Delray on a weekend night and take notice. In that stretch of Atlantic Avenue between Swinton Avenue and the Intracoastal is a wealth of restaurants doing creative things with food. With trendy restaurants like the Office, and Maxâs Harvest, the city's got swank and then some, with posh joints like 32 East and Vic & Angelo's leading the charge. And for a high-end small-plates, beer, and tapas bar, Tryst delivers charming plates with easy-to-swallow prices. Even ethnic dining has made a big splash in Delray. Indie joint Bamboo Fire has drawn in gobs of foodies with its honest take on island food, while Cabana el Rey has earned fans for its homey Cuban cuisine. You could eat for weeks in Delray and never run out of options â breakfast at Atlantique Cafe followed by lunch at Jimmy's Bistro? Or maybe sushi at Yama before drinks and tunes at Dada? The options are wide open in this gourmet paradise.

Waltham residents surprised by police chief arrest
WALTHAM, Mass. -- Waltham residents surprised by arrest of Police Chief Thomas LaCroix.
LaCroix has been with the department since the 80's but residents said that it came as a total surprise. They had no indication of what happened and they didn't know what to think.
LaCroix has been chief for almost five years and with the department for more than 25. Deputy Chief Keith MacPherson is now acting chief in place of Lacroix. Waltham's mayor Jeannette McCarthy, said the D.A. can't offer details about the case but reassured residents this won't be swept under the rug.
"It will be handled," she said, "Very serious, and it will be handled by the D.A. and then after that, I will take care of it."
Residents seemed willing to wait for more details before passing judgement.
Several of LaCroix's colleagues were not willing to offer a comment on camera.

RB libero Fieseler stars without the spotlight
RIVERSIDE — It's not often that a libero has a hard jump serve, but Jake Fieseler isn't the typical libero.
Fieseler started his volleyball career as an outside hitter, but moved to defense because, as he put it, he wasn't a very consistent hitter.
The Riverside Brookfield senior is the do-it-all player for the Bulldogs. He can dig tough balls out, spark a scoring run with his wicked topspin serve, make sets and, in a pinch, could even switch back to outside hitter.

KIRKSVILLE, MO -- A Heartland Congressman makes a stop in Kirksville.
U.S. Representative Sam Graves made a campaign stop downtown Monday for informal visits to local businesses on the square, including Steve's Deli. Graves is the Chairman of the Small Business Committee in Washington.
If re-elected, Graves will represent the new Sixth Congressional District which will include 36 counties along the top one-third of Missouri including Adair County. With the changes, Graves will have district offices in Hannibal and St. Joseph along with mobile offices to get as much feedback as possible.
"Folks can come by and visit and see if there is something we need to do. So they will have access to my office," Graves said.
Graves said he enjoys going out and meeting people.
"This is what I enjoy more than anything else, just getting out there and meeting folks, know individuals, see small businesses," Graves said. "The Sixth District is expanding to 36 counties. I think it's fantastic because it is rural and has the kind of people I know. I'm enjoying the process of meeting people."
Graves also attended a lunch event at Rosie's Northtown Café with local officials and supporters.
While in Kirksville, Graves also met with the presidents of Truman State University and A.T. Still University and visited Northeast Regional Medical Center.
His last event of the day was a fundraiser for Third District State Representative Candidate Nate Walker.

A Farm in New York State
"The Kill Squad attacked this facility two days ago," Jeremy Woo says. "But something feels wrong."
"Uh, yeah," Tim Pope says. "Two wounded agents and a missing prisoner. That's what feels wrong."
"Besides that," Woo says.
"We're wasting time talking," Marie Dunn says.
The four of you are standing in a corn field in upstate New York. It's cold: your breath puffs in front of your face. Tim Pope looks impatient, just the way that you imagined that the head of Primatech Executive Service's Command Division would look. Marie Dunn is still in SWAT gear, her Operations tactical team roaming around the nearby farm house. Jeremy Woo, the head of PES's Intelligence Division, looks distracted.
"Here's the deal," Woo says. "A few hours ago, this detention facility missed a 48-hour check-in. We sent a tactical team over and found two agents, badly hurt. The prisoner was missing."
"Tell me about the prisoner," you say.
"Ricardo Silva, codenamed Red Eye," Pope says. "Biochemist, researcher, part-time professor. He manifested in a Primatech lab, killed a few people. Level 5 and detention facilities ever since."
"What's his ability?" you ask.
"Primal rage. In other people. Turns them on each other like a dog fight," Pope says.
"The Kill Squad underestimated him. He got away," Dunn says. "So we should be out there hunting for them."
"Give the contractor a chance to look around," Woo says. "I want to see what fresh eyes might turn up."
"Fine," Pope says. "Go take a look."
"We're wasting time," Dunn says. But she steps aside to let you pass.

The Ohio State University
Gabby Capuzzi Named Assistant at Ohio State
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Gabby Capuzzi, a former All-American on the Ohio State women's lacrosse team, has been named an assistant coach, Buckeye head coach Alexis Venechanos announced Thursday. Capuzzi wrapped up her career in 2012 as one of the most successful midfielders in program history and spent last season as a volunteer assistant. She moves into the position vacated by Amanda Belichick, who was named the head coach at Wesleyan University, her alma mater, after three seasons in Columbus.
The Future of the ALC
At Sunday's American Lacrosse Conference Championship, I had the opportunity to speak with ALC Commissioner Craig Barnett about the future of the conference.
The looming addition of a Big Ten Lacrosse Conference combined with Johns Hopkins leaving the ALC to take on independent status leaves a lot of uncertainty for what has become one of the most competitive conferences in Division I.
On the Scene: CAA and ALC Semifinals
On a beautiful spring day in Baltimore, there aren't many places better to be than taking in some great lacrosse and that's exactly what I had the opportunity to do on Friday. I first hit Towson for the first CAA semifinal between Towson and Drexel, which turned out to be a fantastic, physical battle as Towson pulled out an 8-7 win. I then headed to Homewood Field to watch the two ALC semifinals. Florida continued its dominance, beating Ohio State 17-3 and Northwestern needed overtime to escape Penn State 9-8.
Click here to see notes and thoughts on all three games from throughout the day.
ALC: Florida Rolls to 17-3 ALC Semis Win Over Ohio State
Second-ranked Florida Lacrosse scored 13 unanswered goals en route to a 17-3 romp of No. 5 seed Ohio State in the ALC Tournament semifinals at Homewood Field on Friday afternoon. No 1 seed Florida (17-1) advances to the championship game on Sunday for the second-straight season earning a chance to defend its title, playing the winner of No. 2 seed Northwestern and No. 3 seed Penn State at noon.
ALC: Ohio State Comes Back to Beat Johns Hopkins, Moves to ALC Semis
BALTIMORE - The Ohio State women's lacrosse team used five unanswered goals to earn a comeback win over No. 20 Johns Hopkins, 10-9, Thursday afternoon in the ALC quarterfinals at Homewood Field in Baltimore, Md. With the win, the Buckeyes advance to their third-consecutive ALC semifinal and improve to 8-9 on the season.
All-ALC Team Announced; Florida Racks Up Hardware
The Florida Gators, who earned their third consecutive American Lacrosse Conference regular-season title this season, picked up more hardware as the league announced its major awards for 2013. A Florida player was tabbed as the positional player of the year in each of the four categories—Offensive, Midfield, Defensive and Goalie—and the Gators' mentor, Amanda O'Leary, was named the coach of the year for the second time in three years.
Johns Hopkins Holds Off Ohio State, 11-10
COLUMBUS, OH - The Johns Hopkins women's lacrosse team took its first lead of the game with 27:20 to play in the game and held on to defeat host Ohio State, 11-10, in both teams' regular season finale Sunday at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. The Blue Jays (10-6, 2-3 ALC) earn the fourth seed in next week's American Lacrosse Conference Tournament while the Buckeyes (7-9, 1-4 ALC) will be the fifth seed.
Complete Effort Leads Duke Over Ohio State
DURHAM, N.C. – Ninth-ranked Duke used a complete game effort to top Ohio State, 15-9, Saturday afternoon at Koskinen Stadium. The win improved the Blue Devils to 11-4 on the spring (2-3 ACC), sending the squad into next week's Atlantic Coast Conference Championship on a wave of momentum.
Halley's Weekend Watch: Northwestern vs. Florida, ALC Race
Some big ALC matchups have postseason implications, including a huge tilt between conference favorites Northwestern and Florida in the ILWomen Game of the Weekend. Dartmouth and Princeton square off in a big Ivy League tilt and Duke hosts Ohio State.

EASTON, Pa. — A Pennsylvania man will spend life in prison for killing his housemate 12 years ago and burying his body and fabricating a letter from his victim to explain his disappearance.
A Northampton County jury needed just two hours Thursday to decide Robert Schmidt killed 26-year-old Robert Sarko in July 2000.
Sarko's body wasn't found until four years after he disappeared and it was 2010 before his remains were conclusively identified. During that time authorities say Schmidt cashed Sarko's disability checks and siphoned funds from his bank accounts.
Schmidt's attorney says his client is a thief and liar but no murderer. He says he will appeal the verdict.
One witness told the court Schmidt bragged about the killing and said authorities wouldn't find the body "for a million years."

Also this power jack modification should work for the following models: Toshiba Satellite L300, L305D, L355D, P305, P305D, Toshiba Satellite Pro L300, L350 and probably some other Toshiba laptops.
I have a list of compatible models (reported by users) at the end of this post.
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION. The power jack gets pushed into the laptop base so it feels loose.
I will replace the original plastic jack with a generic metal jack purchased at RadioShack for about $3.
The RadioShack part number is 274-1576. This jack is designed for tip size 5.5mm O.D.x2.5mm I.D. You can order this jack online or pick it up in a local store.
Proceed on your own risk! If you do something wrong, you can damage the laptop.
In order to access and repair the power jack it's necessary to disassemble the laptop and remove the top cover assembly (palm rest). Here's an example of removing the top cover assembly from a Toshiba Satellite L355D, you'll have to follow steps 1-14.
Disassembly steps for all above mentioned models will be very similar.
OK, let's say the top cover is removed and we are inside the laptop. By the way, I'm fixing a Satellite L305D laptop.
Why the power jack feels loose? You see the answer on the picture below.
In my case both, the power jack and mounting brackets on the base assembly got broken. Even if you replace the broken jack with a new one, it will not stay attached to the base. If you send a laptop with a damage like that to a repair shop, they will recommend replacing the power jack harness and laptop base. This repair will easily cost over $200 but I have a better idea how to fix it for $3 without replacing the base assembly.
Here's my new replacement panel-mount jack which should last for a long time unlike the original Toshiba jack.
All laptops mentioned above come with one of the following AC adapter: 19v-3.42A, 19V-3.95A, 19V-4.74A or 19V-6.3A.
All these power adapter will fit perfectly into the jack from RadioShack.
Using a pocket knife remove plastic supports from the internal side of the base assembly, so the side where the new jack will be mounted is flat.
On the picture below you see plastic supports removed.
Again, using the pocket knife remove the plastic wall surrounding the mounting hole. Make the hole larger, so then new jack fits in.
The new jack is too long and if you install it as is the laptop cover will not sit properly on the base. It happens because one of the speakers (in Satellite L305D) is located very close to the power jack.
It will work if you make the jack shorter. You can cut off part of the long "-" lead or simply bent it as I did. After it's done coat both leads with generous amount of solder.
Now remove the damaged power jack from the laptop and cut off wires somewhere close to the jack base.
Remove insulation, twist wires and coat them with solder.
The red "+" wire will connect to the lead in the center of the new jack.
The black "-" wire will connect to the lead on the side – the one you made shorter.
In some laptops Toshiba uses green wires instead or red wires. They also should be soldered to the "+" lead in the center of your new jack.
WARNING! Check the polarity before you apply power to the laptop.
Now mount the new power jack on the base.
Solder wires to the new jack. Again, the red wire is soldered to the lead in the center and the black on to the lead on the side.
As you see, I soldered wires at a 90 degree angle to the jack so the top cover (and the right speaker) fits in.
I covered both leads with electrical tape.
The new (modified) power harness has been installed into the laptop base. Now you can tighten the nut on the power jack and secure it on the base.
You'll have to modify the top cover assembly a little bit so it fits on the laptop.
Remove plastic reinforcement walls so they do not touch the power jack when the cover is installed. If you leave these walls, there will be a gap between the cover and base.
The plastic walls have been removed.
Assemble the laptop. You are done!
I think the new power jack is way more robust then the original one and should last for a long time.
And it looks great too.
Here's an example of damaged power jack in a Satellite L355D laptop. This base is bigger than in Satellite L305 and you'll have plenty of space for your modification.
Here's another example of damaged base assembly in a Satellite P305D laptop. Again, there is plenty of space for the jack modification.
By the way, if your laptop is still under warranty, Toshiba might fix this problem at no charge. Call them first or take the laptop to the authorized repair center.
If this modification works for you, please mention the laptop model in the comments. You are welcome to post any suggestions and improvements.
