Exhibitor Forums – Monday, June 14, 2010
Location: Exhibit Hall B - Booth #1562Â
10:15-10:50am - Tanner EDA/IC Mask Design Ltd.: High Performance Device & Structure Generation for A/MS Design
Attempts to automate the analog layout process have had limited success. Forgoing full automation, Tanner EDA and IC Mask Design focus on acceleration and semi-automation. We will demonstrate that -- without any change to design flow, using only manufacturing design rules -- HiPer DevGen generates high quality design primitives, matched to address common processing artifacts. Results are equal to hand design. Cycle time is dramatically reduced. Users retain control for tuning the design to address specific matching, parasitic and performance requirements.
Speaker: Ciaran Whyte – IC Mask Design Ltd., Limerick, IrelandÂ
10:55-11:30am - Tanner EDA: Challenges and Opportunities Related to PDKs for Analog Design
Process Design Kits (PDKs) are considered an essential enabler to accelerating Analog & Mixed Signal design cycles. Maintaining the integrity of electrical and physical model data across key constituents (foundries, EDA vendors, and designers) requires extensive coordination and ongoing investment. Recent initiatives within the industry to define PDK standards are aimed at addressing the proliferation of unique PDK support requirements. This panel discussion will explore the challenges and opportunities related to PDKs with a focus on Analog Design.
Speaker: Massimo Sivilotti – Tanner EDA, Monrovia, CA
User Forum – Thursday, June 17, 2010
Location: 202AÂ
8:30-11:00am - Driving Analog Innovation
Current and prospective Tanner EDA users are invited to join Greg Lebsack (President) and Mass Sivilotti (CTO) as they share perspectives on the EDA industry, Tanner's business strategy and product roadmap.
The meeting will also include presentations from current users who will share their experience creating Analog ICs and MEMS with Tanner tools. Learn how Tanner's full-flow product suite is enabling innovations ranging from high-speed I/O devices at deep nanoscale to world-leading image sensors designed for diverse industry applications.
A light breakfast will be served and each registered attendee will receive a chance to win a new Apple iPad. Don't miss this fun, informative and interesting session!

The Aiken County Board of Education will hold a public hearing at the district office on Tuesday at 7 p.m. – specifically on the City of North Augusta's proposal that School Board members agree to a crucial role in the City's plans for major investments.
The hearing will be at 1000 Brookhaven Drive in Aiken and will welcome proponents and opponents of the City's efforts to get the School Board and Aiken County Council to participate in a Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) mechanism. "Project Jackson" would include the construction of a minor-league baseball stadium, a conference center, a parking garage and other additions from private investment.
Todd Glover, North Augusta's city administrator, brought a revamped proposal to the School Board at a meeting last week. At least two School Board members – Levi Green and Tad Barber – believe City officials made some important changes. They would consider voting to support Project Jackson, although according to state law, the School Board still would have about six weeks to come to a decision.
The hearing is expected to include people from the North Augusta area who believe the project has many flaws and shouldn't be approved by the School Board. Board members and district administrators are expected to stress that speakers should focus only on the School Board's possible participation in Project Jackson – not the City's long-term development plans.
Glover cited two key changes. The School District's participation in the Tax Incremental Financing would be reduced from 30 years to 15 – the length of time for deferring tax revenue to the City. School Board members also had expressed concern about its tax revenue being used to build a baseball stadium, but now those funds won't be needed for that purpose, Glover said.
The City is asking the School Board and Aiken County Council to defer tax revenue within a 24-acre area that the City wants to expand. County Council already rejected Project Jackson, but North Augusta officials anticipate another visit to discuss the changes.
"I would not have supported the TIF with the stadium in there," Levi Green said. "They've eliminated that and also reduced the number of years (to 15). We just need to make sure what we're working out for an agreement. I could vote for it, but will have to wait and see how it goes."
North Augusta officials did appear to listen to the School Board's early concerns, Barber said.
"I'd like to see the deferral reduced a little more," he said, "but cutting it in half was pretty significant. Barring anything from the public comment (Tuesday), I think this is probably moving in the right direction … This time they're not really clogged up with the development aspect. From an economic development standpoint, this is a good thing for North Augusta and probably the entire county."
• In other business at the School Board meeting, the Board members will go into closed session at 6 p.m. to hear student disciplinary appeals. At about 8 p.m. the Board will discuss the 2013-14 operating budget.
This will be the first time the Board members have formally considered priorities for the new term. However, several had noted that anticipated and available revenue is tight and will provide only limited opportunities to provide additional needs for the district.

This post is part of a weekly series of 'link-up' Posts which reflect on life's journey, old memories and family stories (see below for more info).
A day rarely passes for us 21st Century folk when we haven't been taking photos or video with our mobile devices. It's not that long ago when home movies were a thing that had to be taken on actual rolls of film and then transferred to actual video cassettes so that you could watch them back.
If I go back even further, the memories become sweeter still. My parents were one of the few who had a really bad 'cine' film habit. When we were kids you could regularly find one of us playing the lead in some home-cooked drama, filmed by my dad, complete with hand-written titles and credits. It's always special to find a photo of yourself from the distant past, but rarer and more special still to find moving pictures. There's something wonderful about seeing a person that no longer exists coming to life on a tiny screen and speaking in a voice which you no longer recognise!
This was taken in 1970. I'm the Blondie. It brings a lump to my throat when I see my Mum, so alive and young, holding out her arms to us both. Wow, thank you for the gift of cine film.
So this week, we're talking Home Movies. Maybe there's a video you found of your now-grown kids from when they were tiny; perhaps you have a black and white classic of a previous generation; or like me, a cine film archive that will be treasured and handed down to the next generation?
Whatever your Home Movie, share the memories with us – either write a blog post and link it up (the Linky will stay open for some time yet, so no need to rush), or just share your memories with us in the comments if you prefer – you don't have to have a Blog to play! Everyone welcome here. Consider it therapy. But do tell your friends!

Once Upon a Time
Once Upon a Time: 3 Things We Want From Rumpelstiltskin and Baelfire's Reunion
It looks like Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle) will finally catch up to his son Baelfire on Once Upon a Time Season 2, Episode 14: "Manhattan," which hopefully means we'll get the father/son reunion we've been waiting for.
What will that reunion look like? There are a couple things we really want to see.
1. Neal = Bae; or something equally interesting. The preview makes it look like Bae is going to turn out to be Henry's (Jared Gilmore) dad, Neal. We're all for that. But if it's not true, we hope there will be some other sort of interesting twist in the same vein.
As a corollary, if Neal is Bae, we want to see Emma (Jennifer Morrison) freak out. A lot.
2. Rumple emotional breakdown. The man has made getting to his son his life goal. When it happens, we want to see overwhelming emotions. Robert Carlyle is one of the most talented actors on the cast, and we expect his talents to be fully utilized.
3. Major complications. We don't care exactly what happens between Bae and Rumple, but we don't want it to be an easy reunion. There's too much tension between them for them to kiss and make up immediately. Heartbreak, distrust, bitterness — whatever Neal's emotions are when he sees Rumple again, we expect something other than pure joy.
Catch the next episode of Once Upon a Time on Sunday, February 10, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

A nutritional and bodybuilding guidepost
As far as I can understand with bodybuilding - we are talking about molecules here. Yes at the molecular and even atomic level this sport, this pastime, this lifestyle, and even the pure enjoyment and professional occupation that is made of it happens and is a study and strategic control of the molecules that make up our own biochemistry.
Now if we can see the molecules, then anyone and everyone would say "Yes, you can move this here and that there and combine these and these and you will have this desired result." Yet here we cannot see the individual molecule that is the focus of this activity, and what keeps us learning and gaining knowledge and moving forward in our bodybuilding undertaking to or calling to. No, we cannot see one with our eyes, but we can believe and see with our minds.
Yet a basketball player can see his teammates and the ball and the physical goal, and he can see his opponents and their team and the defending goal with his eyes, yet a bodybuilder cannot see his goal with his eyes.
Or can he or she?
Can he see the molecule of protein and the amount of heat and oxygen required for protein synthesis to occur within the muscle?
Can he see the molecules of insulin coming out to break down the sugars that are about to be stored into the fat cells of the body?
A baseball player can see the diamond and the bases and the course to homeplate, and the outfield wall - he can see his opponents on the field and the baseball which he is to strike in the pitcher's hand.
But the bodybuilder cannot see the indivual object that he is to strike or the positioning of the defense that he is to penetrate with his eyes.
Or can he or she?
Can he see a molecule of carbohydrate being burned to generate heat and energy to lift the weights?
Can he see the molecules of water cooling down the more excited and heated molecule to maintain body core temperature?
How can this be that our eye cannot see something, yet our mind can conceive of it, sensse it, and even know how to control and utilize it?
"Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."JOHN20:29
Now for the beginning bodybuilder, the competition is very fierce and intimidating. As long as there are muscle mags and supplement advertisers, the bodybuilder sees with his eyes what has been the result of a man or woman's research, education, training, knowledge and understanding. A beginning bodybuilder may not recognize this and go into an immediate response of distress as a reaction to the unreasonably high expectations that are presented by magazine publishers and advertisers. Is the competition seeking money? Is no the goal in mind for them gold? For is a bodybuilder searches for understanding of what he is endeavoring:
"For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold."PROVERBS3:14
This will insure that he or she will set reasonable goals and to be able to make fair decisions regarding their progress and goals. They must understand what is true and logical, what is fair and just before they make themselves sick beyond cure with false dichotomies and false hopes.
Consider this statement from the Nutrition section :
"increase in extra cellular EAA concentrations triggers protein synthesis."
As far as I can understand, God has created things and is doing things that our eyes cannot see nor our ears cannot hear, yet they are there and we can believe and know, and some can even command, without seeing or hearing.
This is a foundation from which to build upon. [img]/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

"I am extremely confident in where our program is heading," Ioane said. "Our aggressive style of play, our commitment to the family that is Bearcat Hoop, and our qualities as men on and off the floor are all the foundation of great things to come."
Ioane also played for the Bearcats from 1997-98 through 2000-01. He was a two-year captain and earned a total of four letters while playing at Willamette.
He also was a finalist for the Josten's Trophy, given to the NCAA Division III men's basketball player of the year. Ioane earned a bachelor's degree from Willamette in 2001 and achieved a Master's of Art in Teaching at WU in 2002.

What is cervical cancer?
Cervical cancer is a common malignant tumor of the female reproductive system, specifically the cervix of the uterus. Cervical cancer is the third most common type of cancer in women in the world. However, the routine use of Pap smear screening has made it far less common in the United States, according to the National Institutes of Health. (Source: NIH).
The cervix is the organ that provides an opening between the vagina and the uterus. Normally, cells in a woman's cervix that are old or damaged will stop dividing and die. These cells are replaced by healthy young cells. The earliest, precancerous stage of cervical cancer occurs when old or damaged cells continue to divide in the superficial layer of the cervix. This is called cervical dysplasia. When cervical dysplasia is not treated, it can grow and spread into the deeper tissues of the cervix, developing into cervical cancer.
Regular Pap smear screening tests can detect cervical dysplasia long before it develops into cervical cancer. Cervical dysplasia is 100% treatable. Once cervical cancer has developed, the prognosis varies depending on the cancer's stage of advancement; your age, general health status, and medical history; and other factors.
Cervical cancer can lead to life-threatening complications and be fatal, especially if it goes undetected and untreated. Seeking regular medical care offers the best chances of discovering cervical cancer in its earliest, most curable stage. If you have cervical cancer, following your treatment plan may help reduce your risk of serious complications. The good news is that if diagnosed and treated in an early stage of development, cervical cancer is curable in many cases.
What are the symptoms of cervical cancer?
Cervical cancer generally produces no symptoms in its earliest stages. There are also frequently no symptoms of cervical dysplasia, the precancerous condition that develops into cervical cancer, or human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, which causes most cases of cervical dysplasia and cervical cancer.
When symptoms of cervical cancer occur, they may indicate that the cancer has pr... Read more about cervical cancersymptoms
What causes cervical cancer?
Cervical cancer is most often caused by an infection of human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV, which can also cause genital warts, is spread through sexual contact, most often through vaginal and anal sex. Having vaginal sex with a person who has HPV can cause cervical dysplasia, a precancerous condition. If undetecte... Read more about cervical cancercauses
How is cervical cancer treated?
Treatment of cervical cancer begins with seeking regular medical care throughout your life. Regular medical care allows your health care professional to best evaluate your risks of developing cervical cancer, perform routine Pap smear screening, and promptly order further diagnostic testing as needed. These measures greatly increase the chances of detecting cervical cancer in its earliest, most... Read more about cervical cancertreatments

I have to do a Dragon body paint next month and I wanted a nice interesting Headpiece. having very little money I thought I would make one.
here's how i made mine. It would probably be possible to make this into a mask too.
Step 1: The design and materials
I found this excellent illustration by McGibs and thought I would try and turn the two dimensional image into a 3 dimensional object.
I used standard A4 card stock (180 gsm)
A printer and computer
Glass-fibre layup resin
Masking tape
Isopon P38 (Bondo)
Sharp knives and scissors
A Dremel
Step 2: Preparing the design
I used GIMP to remove all the horns and the face and lower jaw, then printed off 2 resized images onto the card stock.
These were then cut out, and I worked out where I wanted to cut and where I wanted to fold.
The two side were then glued together at the nose and the general shape and dimensions were worked out.
I used more card to fill the gaps, sticking them in with masking tape.
Step 3: Stiffening the basic structure
Once the basic card assembly was complete, I coated the inside with a layer of resin. Once cured I turned it over and added another layer of resin to the outside.
This was then set aside for a few hours to go solid.
Step 4: Adding the texture
Once the resin had cured, I began coating it with P38 (Bondo).
I tried to get the thickness's to vary in line with the original drawing.
Once the P38 (Bondo) had hardened off, I used the Dremel with a rough sanding drum to smooth out the contours whilst keeping a slightly rough 'bone like' texture to it.
Finally i made the smaller horns from P38 (Bondo) and stuck them in place.
Step 5: First paint job
Since the original drawing is monochrome I had to decide on some colours. I went for yellow, brown and black.
The paint was applied with brush, sponge and airbrush. I sort of added a little of the patterns of the original drawing too.
glassfiber resin - returned about 170 results in the US - it's a liquid
For the paste filler try searching for
auto body filler - returned LOADS of responses - it's a paste or putty
Both are generally polyester resin based and may even use the same hardener. In the UK the hardener is a red paste allowing a visual check on the colur to ensure an even mix.
Isopon and Bondo are brand names.
Very useful ! ^_^
your project is simply awesome
hope you do some more of them :D
I was just wondering. How did you get the template so it would fit an actual head (I'm currently about to attempt both the top and bottom jaw).
I only just stumbled across this and all I can say is WOW!!!!and I love the fact that you are in the UK sometimes tutorials are a pain when it comes to the materials list! Thanks for such a fantastic tutorial! (kind of glad I bought the hubby a dremel for xmas ;) )
Your panting job is phenomenal, by the way.
Two sheets of A4 card - pennies
Half a cup of resin - Less than a pound
Glue - Less than a pound
Bondo / P38 filler - less than 5 pounds
Lagging - 1 pound
Paint - pennies
Materials = 8 pounds
Electric? - 2 pounds
My labour - 6 hours @ £35.00 per hour = £210.00
Total cost to make = £220.00
Also will an x-acto knife (box cutter) be fine?
An X-Acto scalpel should do fine, and I'd keep a box cutter handy as well. It will all depend on your skill with a knife, however so make sure that they are SHARP, it's actually less dangerous.
A few questions, though: my original scheme was to have an animal skull over top, with feathers and fake dreadlocks sewn in the back, which means it'd probably wind up getting fairly heavy back there. How do you have the baseball cap adhered to the skull, and (at an estimate) would it hold up to more weight? And stay on? My biggest frustration thus far is just getting a substantial enough base going, as I've never done a project like this before. Hrmm. I also had a few strange ideas involving the headband from a welding hood, making a plaster mold with a skull (potentially nightmarish) and filling with "great stuff" foam, rigging wire from a coathanger and chicken wire.... blah blah. Sigh.
Sorry just thinking out loud. Great Job! Love the Paint Job. Bet when the feathers are on, it will even look better.
If you haven't heard of ShapeLock, I included a link below.
Search for ShapeLock.
Also: ShapeLock.com - look at the "Uses" section.
Just as an example, 500 gms at $25 bucks is way more expensive than using auto resin / filler. Being in the UK I don't use any brand name products in my work so I couldn't say if the Shapelock would bind correctly to the resin anyway.
1. what were the size ratios that you used when you resized the image in the GIMP editing program? further, how did you calculate the measurements for the skull pattern?
2. in place of card stock like you mentioned, would white posterboard work? if poasterboard wouldn't work, what'd be a better material to use?
2. Nope posterboard would be too thick to get the bending and shaping right. I used thin card so that I could get it into shape easily. Once the resin goes on it becomes very strong and stable ready for the other operations.

Sow crates seen as cruel treatmentFebruary 07,2013Many pork consumers are unpleasantly surprised to learn that pregnant sows are often confined for their entire reproductive lives to individual spaces that are so small that virtually no movement is possible. The term gestation crate is commonly applied to these small spaces. Advocates of more humane pork production systems have been working for some time now to require that a minimal standard of crate size that allows sow movement be adopted into our animal welfare statutes.
Another voice in support of this position was heard on Jan. 10 of this year, when the Vermont Livestock Care Standards Advisory Council issued a statement recommending that the confinement of sows during gestation is done in a manner that allows them to turn around freely, lie down, stand up, and fully extend their limbs.
The council, created by the Vermont Legislature for the purpose of making recommendations to the Legislature on farm animal welfare issues such as this one, includes a very diverse group of individuals including various livestock producers and handlers, veterinarians, the secretary of the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets, and representatives of agricultural colleges, slaughter facilities, food safety organizations and local humane agencies. A Vermont hog farmer also sits on the council.
Given the diversity of the group, the unanimous recommendation to abandon the use of severely restrictive crates for gestation suggests that a widespread consensus is emerging that this is not an appropriate animal care system. Following testimony and discussion, the council did recommend that the use of crates for limited restraint of swine for purposes such as feeding, breeding, handling, farrowing (giving birth) and disease control continue to be permitted.
The councils position is supported by the Vermont Veterinary Medical Associations similar testimony as presented at hearings last March. In that testimony, professor Temple Grandin, a national expert on livestock management practices, was cited for her comprehensive look at the gestation crate system and her assessment that most natural sow behavior is prevented by confinement that excludes the simple movements at issue. In her analysis, the severely restrictive crating system clearly violates several of the basic parameters used to measure farm animal well-being, including: freedom to express natural behavior, freedom from discomfort and freedom from distress.
This recommendation makes a statement that here in Vermont we are committed to examining our animal husbandry practices when needed and that we take seriously the increasing societal concerns about the treatment of farm animals in the age of industrial meat production. Even though currently most pork production in Vermont does not use such severely restrictive crates for sow gestation, it is encouraging that the council affirms that they are not acceptable and that, going forward, new operations should not employ crates that prevent sow movement for anything but very time-limited usage.

I hope they fixed the issue when watching movies from ITunes...
Apple TV update brings bug fixes, redesigned Hulu Plus
The Apple TV has been updated to software version 5.1.2 with fixes for a number of security bugs, but the big news in this update is the Hulu Plus app which has been completely redesigned.
When opening Hulu Plus, content categories can be found across the top of the screen, separating TV, Movies, and Kids programming for quick access. There is now a "Shows You Watch" section on the first screen of the app for easier navigation to the programs you watch regularly. Hulu also added a couple of small but very useful tweaks for controlling playback. First, when you find the show you want to watch, just highlight it and press play to start playing the latest episode. Finally, during playback, hold down the "Select" button on your Apple TV remote to bring up the Subtitles and Audio options.
To update your Apple TV firmware to the latest version, go to Settings > General > Update Software.

Apple TV update brings bug fixes, redesigned Hulu Plus
Great article Joseph. For those who live outside US like me, you can access Netflix, Hulu and similar media stations on your Apple TV by using UnoTelly or similar tools.
If you're jailbroken don't update. No word yet on if this new build can be jailbroken. I'm going to guess no.
Thanks for posting that, so yeah, looks like 5.2 is it for me for a while. Glad I'm not much of a hulu user.
Finally a device I can update lol. I don't JB my Apple TV so going to update this soon!
I hope it fix the bug of connecting to the device with app. I will update and check it out
Thanks for the heads up on yet another update for me iMore.
There isn't really much difference. Or nothing that I've noticed yet. After about a weeks worth of playing around, I'll know then. The remote however, seems to be a big more responsive.
I updated this evening and haven't noticed any significant differences.
To the moron American who replied to the Canadian "it's because you're Canadian" is it any wonder the world hates and I mean hates arrogant America?? With your 900000 trillion dollar arrogant debt? Not to mention politicians on the take and let's not forget slick Willy and his intern. That stuff does not happen here. Americans could only be so lucky as to be here. Just ask any celebrity who has spent any time here. Jackass.
Well at least we have time to comment. Up here we aren't spending all our time playin banjo and didling our cousins and sisters. Here's your sign. By the way, the use of the word caliber is also interesting. Another fixation you Americans have guns. Talk about penis insecurity for the boys or envy for the women. Thank GOD I don't live there!!! I also visit the zoo on occasion but hell if I want to take up permanent residency.
it would be great if there was a regular hulu app. I would watch tv on that thing all day
i think the apple tv could be the next most popular item right i think the samsung smart tv is best tv i think what apple should do is make a aculal Tv with the built in system with a wiimote type controller isight camera, siri, maps. iPhoto, and other apple made apps and instead of making a new generation so much i would just EPICILLY make a new system like ios or another idea is when im on a road trip or something i like to watch tv so apple should make a 7" portable unibody Tv for trips like that but make it only like 750$ maybe that could be the nextbig thing
Apple tv is amazing :)
Perhaps someday the Apple TV might be a useful device for those of us that don't live in America. Here in the UK, we have two absolutely essential services, think of them as our versions of Hulu and Netflix. Those services are the BBC iPlayer. the Amazon LoveFilm. Any streamer missing either (or both) of those, is dead in the water here. ATV has neither.
All we get in the UK from ATV is Netfllix UK (which House of Cards aside, is abysmal), and the iTunes store.
I use my Xbox for my streaming needs, as it has most UK streaming services. It's very slow though - the 8 year old hardware is really bad at this app type stuff. Content is king though, and the Xbox has the content.
Why oh why won't Apple just open up an ATV app store?

LAS CRUCES, N.M. – The New Mexico State football team dropped the 91st meeting of the Battle of I-10 against UTEP with a final score of 42-21.
The Aggies recorded a season-high 299 yards passing but turnovers hampered the Crimson and White. Senior quarterback Andrew McDonald led the way with 156 yards and two passing touchdowns, while freshman quarterback King Davis III posted 143 yards in the air with his first career passing touchdown.
Defensively, redshirt junior linebacker Clint Barnard tallied a game-high 20 tackles, while senior safety Davis Cazares was also in double-digits with 16.
The 91st meeting started with three scoring drives in the first four minutes of play. The first scoring drive came off an Aggie fumble after the kickoff. UTEP recovered the ball at the three-yard line, and the Miners drove the ball in with a three-yard pass for a 6-0 lead in the first 10 seconds of the game.
NM State quickly answered back with a career-long 81 yard pass to junior wide receiver Jerrel Brown from McDonald to knot the score at seven apiece after just 30 seconds into the first quarter.
UTEP marched down the field on its next possession and drove in the Miners' second touchdown of the game with a 12-yard rush by Miners quarterback Jameill Showers. The Aggies matched the touchdown with one of their own with a 20-yard touchdown McDonald pass to Perris Scoggins, his second career touchdown as an Aggie.
With the score locked at 14, senior nose tackle Kevin Laudermill recorded his second sack of the season, forcing the Miners' first punt of the game after a 4th-and-15. NM State continued the matching trend with a 46-yard punt after going three-and-out for the first time during the 2013 edition of the Battle of I-10.
After marching their way back down the field, the Miners missed a 31-yard field goal, turning the ball over the Aggies at their own 20-yard line. NM State punted away shortly after with a 66-yard punt from senior Cayle Chapman-Brown, good for his second longest this season.
A less active start to the second quarter left the teams trading possessions until NM State recorded its third quarterback sack of the game; a one-yard loss made by senior linebacker Trashaun Nixon. After the Miners were forced to punt, Davis III threw for a 24-yard pass to junior tight end Andrew Dean, giving the Aggies a chance to drive the ball further down the field. A late Aggie fumble turned the ball over to UTEP at its own 14-yard line.
A 48-yard pass by UTEP's Showers drove the Miners to the NM State 22-yard line, giving them leverage to score on an eight-yard rush by Aaron Jones, pushing UTEP ahead of the Aggies 21-14 with 17 seconds left in the half.
The second half took off with freshman safety Kawe Johnson grabbing an interception at the UTEP 11-yard line. On the following play, NM State threw an interception in the end zone that was picked off by Miner Dashone Smith. UTEP used the momentum to drive the ball to the NM State 16-yard line before Cazares forced a UTEP fumble.
NM State swiftly tied the game at 21-21 with 7:24 on the clock after Davis III threw his first career touchdown to junior running back Brandon Betancourt for 72 yards. The touchdown was Betancourt's first career receiving touchdown as an Aggie. UTEP turned around on its next drive for a 54-yard rushing touchdown to regain the lead 28-21.
It took until the 5:27 mark of the fourth quarter for either team to drive into the end zone again. UTEP had an 88-yard drive that was capped with a 17-yard rushing touchdown by UTEP running back Darrin Laufasa. With the Miners leading the Aggies 35-21, NM State's McDonald threw an interception, giving the Miners the ball at the 45-yard line. UTEP wasted no time and ran in for a 45-yard touchdown.
NM State returns to the road as the Aggies travel to face UCLA on Sept. 21, at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles, Calif. Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. (MT) and is available on Pac 12 Network.

After being diagnosed with West Nile Virus during late September, a horse in Austin County has died, despite efforts to save the animal.
Veterinarians say horses suffering from West Nile Virus experience the same affects humans would endure. The virus can cause encephalitis, swelling of the brain and patients can have flu-like symptoms.
The difference between West Nile Virus in horses versus humans is that there is an available vaccine for horses. Last week a horse in Washington County was also diagnosed with West Nile Virus.
The latest statistics from the Texas Department of State Health Services record 71 West Nile Virus deaths among humans this year. In addition, 67 horses in 43 Texas Counties have been diagnosed with the virus.
Officials with the Centers for Disease Control say recent data suggests 2012 is shaping up to be one of the worst years for the virus in U.S. history.
The best defense against West Nile Virus is to practice safety habits, known as the "Four Ds":
1. Use insect repellent containing DEET, picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus.
2. Dress in long sleeves and long pants when you are outside.
3. Stay indoors at dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes are most active.
4. Drain standing water where mosquitoes breed. Common breeding sites include old tires, flowerpots and clogged rain gutters.

Michigan Man Reels In Giant Goldfish
By editor
Originally published on Thu January 17, 2013 11:11 am
Good morning, I'm Renee Montagne. I have goldfish. They're small. On the other hand, my goldfish don't live in a lake, or at least one has gotten very, very big.
Fishing at Lake St. Claire, Michigan last weekend, Mark Martin reeled in a goldfish big enough to mount on his wall. Most likely dumped by a former owner, it weighed more than three pounds and is nearly 15 inches long. It might be a record catch, if Michigan kept records on goldfish.

Quality and Patient Safety > How Others Measure Us > DHEC
Since February 1, 2008, certain hospital acquired infections have been required by State law (Hospital Infections Disclosure Act (HIDA) to be reported to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) data system, and publicly displayed through the South Carolina Department of Environmental Control's (DHEC) website.
For an infection to be classified as a hospital acquired infection (HAI), there must be no evidence that it was present at the time of admission to the hospital.
Common infection control processes in place to prevent HAI are:
- effective handwashing
- use of protective equipment as necessary
- use of infection control checklist when inserting IV lines
The information on this website is updated at least annually.

HAMBURG, NY - Adam Weaver (Stow, OH/Archbishop Hoban) became Hilbert College's All Time Kill leader after he earned his 12th kill against SUNYIT January 26th. The Outside Hitter claimed the top spot on the Hilbert's career leaders list after only three games into the start of his junior year. Weaver has almost two full seasons to extend his current 582 Kill total before he graduates.
Weaver opened the SUNYIT Tournament needing 38 kills to move into the top spot. He secured 26 kills in the Hawks 3-set lost to Elms (10 kills) and their 3-set victory over Bard (16 kills) on Day One. The next afternoon, Weaver broke the record, scoring 17 kills in a shut-out win over SUNYIT. And, in the final match of the tourney, Weaver again reached for 16 kills against a strong Sage College team.
The Hawks are currently 2-2 after the opening weekend of play.

Gun store owners: Sales up with fears of new laws
CHANDLER, Ariz. -- At Guns Etc., Bryant Scatena examines an AR-15 he's thinking about purchasing sooner rather than later because of fears that the government will curb sales of assault rifles.
"With the way things are going and the economy and our president and the bans that they're putting on stuff, you know, we got to kind of protect ourselves too," Scatena said.
Ron Sega, owner of Guns Etc., said his sales tripled shortly after the general election.
"We're selling a lot of handguns, semi-automatics, and AR-15s," he said. "Ammunition sales are up considerably."
It was the same story from many of the 25 other Arizona gun store owners and clerks contacted by Cronkite News Service: Sales are up for reasons including President Barack Obama's re-election, the struggling economy and havoc wreaked by Hurricane Sandy.
News organizations in many other states have reported the same.
"I think customers are pretty concerned with what's going on with the economy, and obviously how the election went," Sega said. "Any time you have someone in power that pretty much is anti-gun, at least the shooting community is concerned about what may happen in the next four years."
During one of the presidential debates, Obama said he was interested in seeing an assault weapons ban that was in effect from 1994 to 2004 reintroduced. That law limited firing capacity and regulated pistol-grip, suppressor and bayonet attachments.
The president also said he wants to explore ways to curb violence committed with handguns.
Don Gallardo, manager of Shooter's World in Phoenix, said sales usually increase this time of year but are up slightly more because of the election.
"Customers are saying, �I better hurry and get my gun before they take them all away,'" he said.
Richard Plattner, a Phoenix attorney with 30 years experience in cases involving gun laws, defective guns, and gun-related injuries, said it's unlikely that the assault weapons ban will come back despite mass killings such as the one in Aurora, Colo.
"The question is whether or not any of the recent shootings have created enough momentum, enough political will, to move the gauge significantly enough that a bill will get passed which really makes a difference," Plattner said. "And there's no evidence of that kind of change in the political landscape."
Hildy Saizow, president of Arizonans for Gun Safety, a group that advocates for gun control, called the spike in gun sales irrational and unfortunate.
"There's been no evidence of change, in any way, related to gun laws," Saizow said. "It's a response by a minority of people, who are gun owners, going out and purchasing more weapons."
The key to curbing gun violence is finding common ground in Congress, she said.
"There are lots of loopholes in which people who should not be buying guns are buying them from gun shows, through classified ads, online, or through private sellers," Saizow said.
At Guns Etc., Ron Sega said he's happy to have the boost in business.
"I've been doing this 25 years, and I'll have to be honest, the eight years that Bill Clinton was president and the four years that Obama has been president have been my best years. You ask why? The fear factor."
Darrell Murray, a retired Arizona Highway Patrol officer and owner of Murray's Firearms in Tucson, said his sales are up about 150 percent due to fears of new gun laws.
"Obama will be gun salesman of the year," he said.
