Wando senior Andrew Glover committed to Hargrave Military Academy last week.
Glover helped lead Wando to a Class 4A state championship this season as the Warriors' lone starting senior. The 6-foot-3 shooting guard averaged 10 points and six rebounds per game this season and was named to the High School Sports Report Class 4A All-State team.
Hargrave is widely recognized as one of the premier preparatory schools in the nation. Its basketball program has become a recruiting hotbed for Division I college talent. In the past 10 years, Hargrave has won two national prep championships and produced 101 Division I players, including nine current NBA players.
Glover will be eligible to move on to another school after his first season at Hargrave and would still have full NCAA eligibility remaining.

U.S. Department of Justice wants ludicrous restrictions placed on Apple, iBooks
The U.S. Department of Justice has proposed a solution to address Apple's ebook price fixing. The remedy places restrictions on how Apple makes deals with publishers, including the immediate termination of their current deals with five publishers, and forces Apple to change policy with regards to ebook apps linking to external stores for at least two years. Additionally, the order would have the court appoint an external antitrust monitor at Apple, says the DOJ release:
The monitor, whose salary and expenses will be paid by Apple, will work with an internal antitrust compliance officer who will be hired by and report exclusively to the outside directors comprising Apple's audit committee. The antitrust compliance officer will be responsible for training Apple's senior executives and other employees about the antitrust laws and ensuring that Apple abides by the relief ordered by the court.
Apple was found to have consipired to fix ebook prices on July 10. Apple has said that they plan to appeal the ruling, though their chances of success are very slim. The five publishers that had also been sued by the DOJ had previously settled last year.
One element of the DOJ's proposed remedy which is of particular interest is the ebook apps policy change. Currently, apps are not allowed to link to external stores, including ebook apps like Amazon's Kindle or Barnes & Noble's Nook app. The Kindle app recently found a workaround for this issue, but if the solution is accepted by the court, Apple will be forced to allow the Kindle, Nook, and other ebook apps to link to their companies' stores to allow customers to compare prices easily.
This proposal by the DOJ, along with others will be presented to the court in a hearing held later this month.

U.S. Department of Justice wants ludicrous restrictions placed on Apple, iBooks
Don't think so, no. They didn't do anything here. Apple was the one who was found to have conspired to fix prices, so it makes sense that only they would be punished.
Absolutely... Amazon, B&N, Google, etc will have to allow Apple iBooks to link to the iBookstore on Kindle, Nook, Android, etc. (in otherwords, doesn't make a bit of difference to iBooks)
Your opinion is wrong. Legislating a return to the former baseline of Amazon monopoly is bad for everyone. Do more research on why, i don't have time to educate you myself. Apple didn't settle because they are innocent.
You should take the time to educate yourself because you are astoundingly wrong. Apple wanted to fight due to their own hubris & some false, wrongheaded need to protect Steve Jobs' legacy. Just read Eddy Cue's testimony where it's all laid out. Oh & the Jobs bio didn't help matters did it? Guilty as charged. The other defendants settled not out of convenience but they realized they got caught. End of story.
It's blind fantasy to pretend Apple was some innocent victim here.
The DOJ case was air tight and Amazon's market position did not give Apple carte Blanche to break the law. There is ample evidence they knew they were breaking the law. Eddie Cue wanted this to be his last gift to a dying Steve Jobs and it harmed consumers.
Apple did not settle out of arrogance and the DOJ called their bluff. Now they have to pay for it and consumers win overall.
I agree with you. I love Apple as a company, their products, and what they stand for. But the deal they made with the publishers only benefited them, not us as consumers, and now they have to pay. For many years I was happy buying inexpensive books and music from Amazon.com until Apple decided to fatten their pockets at our expense.
I sure as hell don't trust the comments section on on tech blogs when it comes to the antitrust law.
Deal with the devil and you will get burned. Hopefully Cook will learn from this. As for this solution being "ludicrous", it sounds like the author is still stung over the verdict. Apple got off very light and it's stunning the government came up with such an intelligent penalty instead of just issuing a fine.
Exactly. Exchange "Apple" with "Microsoft" and people would be criticizing the government for its leniancy.
Ludicrous are the rules Apple impose on apps like Kindle, which could not access its own bookstore. Customers purchase the iPad but that's not enough, all transactions had to be charged through Apple as well. Two years is too short, this should be permanent.
Geez, why is this site more concerned with a multi-billion dollar company than it is with consumers of the company's products? Strikes me the same when Imore brags about Apple's outrageous profit margins. Are you shills for Apple, or a legitimate blog?
On this particular issue, Jobs knew very well he was breaking laws when he made this deal. And it caused book prices to go up for everyone. Love my iPad, but I will NEVER buy a book from Apple. Not in a million years.
"ludicrous?" Why do you think they are ludicrous?

The Waitsfield community water system has been up and running for more than six months supplying safe and reliable drinking water to our school, health center, library, fire station, town garage, restaurants, offices, commercial centers and residences. Several of the 27 fire hydrants have already been put to use in response to fire calls.
Construction of the water system is nearly complete and the contractors are finishing their punch lists. The water operator, Simon Operation Services, is on site regularly and runs monthly tests on the water as required by the state of Vermont. The billing software has been implemented and the system is generating sufficient income from water customers to pay the expenses and debt service.
We continue to have property owners contact us about joining the system. New connected customers have increased the system's use by 5 percent over the past six months and we expect this to continue. The more properties that connect to the system, the lower the costs will be for each customer over time.
Water Main Extension to Eagles Resort
The water commission is currently in discussions with the owners of the Eagles Resort to connect them to the system. Their primary and emergency wells are no longer providing sufficient water supply and efforts were initiated to explore whether it would be possible for them to be connected to the town's water system. The Eagles Resort is a timeshare community of 16 two-bedroom homes and a clubhouse, with approximately 20,000 room nights a year. It is an important part of Waitsfield's and The Valley's economy.
We explored whether it would be possible to extend our current funding sources through USDA Rural Development to cover the $200,000 estimated cost for engineering, permitting and construction of a water main extension from Fiddlers Green, under the Mill Brook and across Route 100 to provide the Eagles Resort with water service and fire protection. We learned this past week that a separate loan application would be necessary and that we have no more borrowing capacity under the original bond vote approval. This means a new bond vote would be required for the $200,000 loan. The financial analysis is very positive. Based on our current rate structure, the annual fees from the Eagles Resort would more than cover the repayment of the loan. The Eagles Resort has paid a 50 percent deposit and is committed to going forward if the bond vote and funding package come together.
For this to succeed, we plan to request that the select board add this item to the bond vote scheduled for July 30, 2013, for the town office. This would require the select board to adopt the necessity resolution, bond warning and article at their next meeting on June 24. It is important to reiterate that the $200,000 loan will be paid in its entirety by the new fees paid by the Eagles Resort. The other benefit of this proposed extension is increased fire protection to the south side of the town.
An application was made to USDA Rural Development for a loan and/or grants totaling $200,000. They have confirmed funds are available and are processing the application but cannot obligate the funds without a successful bond vote. The next step is for members of the water commission to meet with the select board on Monday, June 24, to discuss adding this to the bond vote scheduled for Tuesday, July 30, for the town office.
ISO Re-Survey
The other major project the water commission is working on is a re-survey of Waitsfield's ISO rating. ISO stands for Insurance Service Office, which provides statistical data on risk factors for insurance companies. A community's rating has the potential to affect the insurance premiums property owners pay. The re-survey is an extensive process that considers just about every aspect of the town and the fire department's operations. Points are given for everything from the training aids a fire department owns to the distance between fire hydrants. It is being done in collaboration with the Waitsfield-Fayston Fire Department. The next step will be early in July when tests will be run with the fire department's new fire truck. Once the tests are completed the re-survey application will be submitted to the ISO. With the installation of fire hydrants and the Waitsfield-Fayston Fire Department's new tanker pumper, we expect the rates will be reduced for many businesses and property owners.
If you have any questions, please contact the water commission or commissioners. The water commission meets at the town office at 4 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of each month.
Waitsfield Water Commission members are Scott Kingsbury, Ray LaRochelle, Robin Morris, Bill Parker and Peter Reynells.

Toward a Library-Publisher Complex for the digital era: Where the money is for both sides
January 6, 2013 | 9:00 am
I live in the Washington suburbs, where "Military-Industrial Complex" is more than just rhetoric in an Eisenhower speech from 1961. Just across 1-395 from me, here in Alexandria, Virginia, arise the twin towers of the $1+ billion Quarter Pentagon, featured in this Army Corps of Engineers video bragging of its size. Perhaps a lesson for publishers and librarians? As I see it, a Library-Publisher Complex could boost the number of library e-books and other items—along with American education. Even the military could ultimately come out ahead, given the eventual national security benefits of improved K-12 performance in an era of more sophisticated warfare,...

The master-planned Summerville community, The Ponds, is being sold.
Greenwood Communities and Resorts, which has owned the property since 2005, announced Wednesday their intent to sell the property to Kolter Acquisitions LLC, a subgroup of Kolter Homes LLC, which own properties throughout the Southeast.
According to John Morgan, the community manager at The Ponds, the contract has "gone hard, which means it's very firm, and will close in early December."
The sale price has yet to be released.
Morgan said the Self family, which owns Greenwood, is selling to take the company in a "different direction."
"We are ready to get back to the business we know best: resort management," said Bubba Self, Greenwood's president, in a press release. "Our core business began as resorts with Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort, and we are glad to get back to our roots and focus on this popular and beautiful oceanfront property."
The Ponds is a 1,950-acre property that features 1,100 acres of nature preserve, community amenities such as a pool and historic farmhouse and an on-site YMCA.
Morgan said there won't be much of a visible change with the sale, as the intention is to keep The Ponds' current management in tact, but there will be changes homeowners should be excited about.
"The changes are going to be good, very positive for the homeowners," he said. "There's going to be some new capital investments in the property and in the advancements of the amenities, which we will be announcing over the next several weeks."
The Journal Scene could not reach representatives from Kolter for comment.

ABBOTSFORD, B.C.---The Chicago Wolves scored twice in the third period to send the game into overtime but could not score again as they suffered an eventual 4-3 loss to the Abbotsford Heat at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre Friday night.
Left wing Nigel Dawes (2G) and right wing Spencer Machacek (G, A) notched multiple-points for Chicago (13-15-1-0).
Heat defenseman Keith Seabrook blasted a shot from the high slot past Chicago goaltender Peter Mannino on the power-play 2:41 into overtime to grab the win for the Heat.

Forward: A Special Section Tracking Crestview's Progress, is an unprecedented look at north Okaloosa County's strides in economy, health, education and recreation, areas crucial to our community's quality of life.
Brian Hughes, Randy Dickson and Matthew Brown spoke with local experts and leaders to bring you the data and analysis on what's working and what needs improvement in these areas.
For instance, the military's $5.2 billion annual contribution to the economy, along with personnel's need for affordable housing, has placed Crestview's real estate business in a better position than that of other Florida cities during this recession.
Okaloosa County employment is on the rise, as are arts and cultural offerings, and Crestview students have more options than ever for secondary education.
North Okaloosa Medical Center has matched once unavailable services to Hub City residents who needn't travel to Destin or other medical facilities anymore. CEO David Fuller said its innovations, including possible robotic surgery applications, will continue.
On the other hand, some areas need improvement.
The Okaloosa County Health Department has identified smoking and obesity as top problems, with pregnant smokers and teenagers exposed to second-hand smoke exceeding state averages.
An influx of service members has boosted student populations beyond capacity. Crestview High School, for instance, might need portable classrooms and additional staffers to catch up with growth, principal Bob Jones said. Baker School might lose one of its four computer labs to offer an extra classroom, principal Thomas Shipp said.
Additionally, Crestview High athletic director and head football coach Tim Hatten wants to build the football program's brand and find a way to retain a coach in its revolving-door softball program, which has seen four coaches in as many years.
Outside the four concentrated areas, but certainly important, is crime assessment, where we learn that battery and burglaries are the top offenses, and we check in with Crestview Police Chief Tony Taylor for an update on the department's push toward accreditation.
We see this website as detailing the north county's general state.
We hope you see it as valuable information.

Karen Eggert (301) 734-0603
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18, 2008--The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) today began seeking information from the public and industry about whether additional consideration is needed when genetically engineered (GE) animals are imported or moved across the country.
APHIS is requesting information on research conducted or planned on GE animals as well as the importation and movement of GE animals amid the U.S. livestock population. APHIS is also seeking input on actions and approaches that should be considered under the Animal Health Protection Act that would complement draft guidance issued today for public comment by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). FDA's draft guidance covers its requirements and recommendations for developers of GE animals.
"This is an excellent opportunity to hear directly from the public and industry," said Smith. "We will thoroughly review the feedback we receive and will work closely with FDA to include a clear picture of how people, animals and the environment will remain protected."
APHIS has been safely regulating GE organisms since 1986 and has overseen the deregulation of more than 70 GE crop lines.
The request for information is scheduled for publication in the Sept. 19 Federal Register.
Consideration will be given to comments received on or before Nov. 18. Send two copies of postal mail or commercial delivery comments to Docket No. APHIS-2006-0188, Regulatory Analysis and Development, PPD, APHIS, Station 3A-03.8, 4700 River Road, Unit 118, Riverdale, MD 20737-1238. Comments also can be submitted on the Federal eRulemaking portal at http://www.regulations.gov/fdmspublic/component/main?main=DocketDetail&d=APHIS-2006-0188.
Comments are posted on the Regulations.gov Web site and also can be reviewed at USDA, Room 1141, South Building, 14th St. and Independence Ave., S.W., Washington, D.C., between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. To facilitate entry into the comment reading room, please call (202) 690-2817.
Note to Reporters: USDA news releases, program announcements and media advisories are available on the Internet. Go to the APHIS news release page at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/newsroom.

COLUMBIA CITY — How does one become well-known?
This was one question discussed at a Mayors Roundtable held at Eagle's Nest Friday. With the economy beginning to get back on track, the aspect and importance of regionalism was one topic on the table.
Discussion centered around the fact that southern California and other regions of the county have its own reputations for what it does well.
How does Northeast Indiana acquire the same reputation?
The recession is over and the region is on the move forward, even if the recovery is still in progress at the moment.
"The recovery will take time," said John R. Stafford, director of the Community Research Institute at IPFW. "We came out of the recession relatively strong and relatively fast, but we're not back to where we were yet."
Panel members were asked what would keep them in the area, which invoked the topic of regionalism.
Bob Taylor, president and CEO of Do it Best Corp., touted the diversity of living possibilities and work atmosphere.
"You can live on a lake or farm and have the work environment you want," he said.
Michael J. Packnett, president and CEO of Parkview Health, said the people of Indiana make the area special.
"The people are amazing, and that is what keeps me here," he said. "Indiana nice is real, it is not just an expression."
A regional view is necessary in a world that, post-recession, has people thinking more about the global economy than ever before.
"People who invest still want to know about the debt crisis in Europe and what that will do," said Michael J. Kubacki, president and CEO of Lake City Bank.
As the economy becomes more global, the marketplace turns more competitive. While Northeast Indiana has done well so far, the focus can never diminish.
"The pride of the region to keep moving forward is the secret sauce to success," Stafford said. "The real challenge is to keep at it. It's a competitive world. You can't let your guard down for a minute."
Alan C. Tio, president of the Whitley County Economic Development Corporation, helped facilitate the panel of experts. He asked a question for the audience, which consisted of many mayors from around the region, as to what a leader of a community could do to help and when should the mayor stay out of the way.
"Good leadership is key," Kubacki said. "It is like the CEO of a company. The mayor has to keep the city in ship-shape and get rid of eye sores."
On the other side, Stafford said mayors should trust professionals at times.
"There is a technical role to being an EDC director," Stafford said. "Let that person do their job."
The mind-set of most on the panel was the region of Northeast Indiana is coming together and doing well, post-recession. With a focus on regional viability, the best could be yet to come.
Columbia City Mayor Ryan Daniel closed the day by thanking everyone for coming despite the poor weather.

Ani's Gastrawnomique Prep at the Test Kitchen
Today was Day 3 of food prep at the Test Kitchen. My GastRAWnomique molecular gastronomy inspired dinner is just days away. Chris Ochs and Josh from SunFood personally delivered a ton of superfoods. Diane Paylor and I were elbow deep in cacao. And Top Chef Alex Reznik was cold smoking my cashews for me.
To cold smoke, Alex uses a smoking gun packed with chips to push smoke into a sealed container of raw cashews. The cashews absorb the aroma of the smoke, but stay raw. Pretty cool. No pun intended.
Restaurant Mo-Chica's Ricardo Zarate and I making Cheddar Kale Chips.
Richi helping me set up 8 Excalibur Dehydrators. These are my favorite dehydrators, and they come with Paraflexx reusable non-stick sheets. Thanks for sending them over to me Excalibur! So much love from the community, sponsors have been super generous and include: Excalibur, Sambazon, Earth Circle Organics, Sunfood, Gold Mine Natural Food, Frontier Natural Products Co-Op, Big Tree Farms.
Chef Seth Greenburg at the Huntley Hotel Penthouse Restaurant invited me into his kitchen where he shared with me some of his favorite molecular gastronomy techniques.
Chef Seth and I compressed melons and cucumbers, and put chemicals into water and fruit puree to create popular spheres or 'caviar'. We even made 'noodles'. See what could be done using chemicals got my creative juices flowing thinking about ways to create similar effects without chemicals, and instead 100% natural and raw.
Test Kitchen brings together the best Chefs in LA, and has become much like a think tank where Chefs share their creativity, ideas, and time. Great energy in this space! Chef Christian Page, a locavore sourcing his ingredients locally and seasonally, is to the left of the photo, and is about to open Daily Dose Restaurant in downtown LA in mid Dec.

ESS is attempting to back out of the dyno event they themselves requested?
Roman at ESS is now attempting to back out of the tuner dyno day shootout. I would like to remind everyone, ESS requested this dyno comparison themselves and asked BimmerBoost to schedule it. Now that the date is nearing, ESS is going back on their word at the last minute
I received this e-mail from Roman:
This was my response:
We have over a half dozen companies waiting on ESS. BMS has agreed and has been patiently waiting. MHP agreed although the date change now inconvenience them. Gintani agreed and said they would accept the date change for ESS. OE Tuning agreed and said they accept the date change to wait for ESS. Powerchip said they do not mind the date change and look forward to it. Vishnu has agreed in proxy and we also have GIAC representation. G-power is ready with their supercharger representation.
BimmerBoost has worked tirelessly to make this event happen at substantial cost as any of these companies can attest. We have been on the phones and e-mailing back and forth for what is almost 4 months now.
ESS requested this event, led everyone on, and now is backing down from their own challenge. BimmerBoost has considerable cost tied to the event and will not simply let it go. DC Performance has a large amount of revenue dependent on the event. Literally dozens of people, companies will be hurt financially and inconvenienced by ESS not honoring its own request.
We would like the BMW community to encourage ESS to participate as they had agreed, please contact Roman and make it known you would like to see the event take place as planned:

This article was originally published in forum thread: ESS is attempting to back out of the dyno event they themselves requested? started by Sticky View original post167 Comments
Active Autowerke is in Florida so it would be difficult to get them to fly out to participate. I will see if we can get their flash tune possibly and we will just flash it ourselves on their behalf if they would be willing.
If you would like to see Active Autowerke participate, e-mail email@example.com.
The dyno shootout will be revised and go ahead as planned.
Just an FYI. The only reason I chose Powerchip for tuning my 2011 M3 (paid for and waiting for final testing) is because of what I read on M3Post.com from ESS regarding PC. I would have to think that the negativity that I witnessed on M3Post could not be good for any business. I would hope that a business making these accusation would be willing to come forward and participate in a friendly 3rd party comparison.
It was a friendly third part comparison. I don't know why ESS would have anything against DC Performance, it is a venue that is not associated with any of these tuners and does not even really do any BMW work. Vipers dominate their workload, it is a third party dynojet exactly as requested. I worked very hard for months to get them the perfect venue that they demanded in California.
Yes, it will now take more time and money but I do not mind. If you guys are ok with waiting a little bit longer it will be even better. I apologize for this inconvenience.

Were they even paying for anything towards this? I think they were not, right?
Companies who do not fulfill their commitment, do not deserve any business. Let them crash and burn on their own...
I want to get some ESS cars there anyway so we have a comparison at the same time same place. This is important to the M3 community and will also make for a more complete event. Considering this is coming out of my pocket, I want to make sure I get as much bang for the buck as possible.
I think you should wait too and get some ESS cars there. This is a big event and I think it's worth it to push it back to get as close to a complete representation of all the available options on the market. Also, this gives some time to possibly allow someone on the West Coast to get an Active kit as well.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (January 4, 2013)--Florida State University senior baseball player Stephen Spradling, 23, remained hospitalized Friday in Melbourne, Fla., after suffering multiple injuries Sunday in a skydiving accident.
He underwent surgery to have rods and plates inserted into his hip.
Spradling was injured after making a faster landing than normal and was forced to adjust his fall roughly 100 feet above ground to avoid a potentially fatal collision with another skydiver.
Florida State coach Mike Martin said he's thankful Spradling survived the accident.
Spradling, who's from Boynton Beach, will be hospitalized for a few weeks and in a wheelchair for some time during his recovery.
Martin said he wasn't sure whether the injuries would be career ending or when Spradling may be able to return to Florida State.

Proposals from the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to improve understanding, and avoid undue cost or effort in applying, the International Financial Reporting Standard for small and medium-sized enterprises (IFRS for SMEs), have been welcomed by ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants).
The global body for professional accountants' Global Forum for Corporate Reporting responded to the IASB's consultation on the proposed amendments to the Standard.
Although it is welcomed by the forum, it feels that the IASB could have gone further even in these early stages of the life of the IFRS for SMEs.
Richard Martin, ACCA's head of corporate reporting, said: 'We discussed the proposals at great length in the Global Forum and we came to the conclusion that although the changes are in accordance with the IASB's aims for the current revision project, options which have received support are not being included on the grounds of complexity and the absence of a similar option in full IFRS.
'It would also be good if the IASB considers how IFRS for SMEs can help the smallest preparers further, as the Standard does still cover some potentially very large companies.'
There will be approximately 80 countries across the globe that are eligible to adopt or adapt IFRS for SMEs into their legislations in the next year.
Richard Martin concluded: 'The Standard is not endorsed by the EU, but the UK and Ireland have revised national standards to be broadly in line with it.
'There are also some options and provisions they have chosen which are in the full IFRS, but not in the IFRS for SMEs, but are still in line with common local accounting practice.'
ACCA's full consultation response can be found via the 'Related Links' section, left of this article.
Richard Martin and Paul Cooper, ACCA's corporate reporting manager, are also featured in a video explaining the proposed changes to IFRS for SMEs, which can also be found via the 'Related Links' section.

20 Date-Night Outfit Ideas Guys L-O-V-E
20 Date-Night Outfit Ideas Guys L-O-V-E
Underneath all that pre-date-night excitement is one anxiety-inducing thought: What am I going to wear?! But worry not! Just borrow inspiration from these stylish celebrities—behold, 20 easy, charming, and sexy date-night outfit ideas that will totally knock his socks off—and maybe a few other articles of clothing, too.SEE MORE
Date Outfit Idea: Polished SeparatesOlivia Palermo shows that your favorite striped tee can be evening-friendly when paired with black shorts and a tuxedo blazer. Pushed-up sleeves and a half-tucked shirt keep the look from being too stuffy.
Date Outfit Idea: Sexy Summer LeatherFor those of you who want their fellas panting at first sight, a leather (or faux-leather) pencil skirt is the way to go. Wear it with an airy tank and sandals (the strappier, the better!) like Malin Akerman, so you don't melt in the heat.

Date Outfit Idea: Rock 'n' Roll StaplesFor a casual date like bowling or karaoke, skinny jeans and a vintage concert tee are cute and comfy. Add pointy pumps like Ashley Madekwe for a little extra sex appeal.
Date Outfit Idea: a Pumped-Up LBDFor those days when you hate everything in your closet, look to Julianne Hough's no-fail outfit: curve-hugging little black dress, colored heels, and sex-bomb hair. Boom.
Date Outfit Idea: a Romantic TopA floral lingerie-inspired shirt is sultry but not vulgar. Pair the racy top with stovepipe pants à la Victoria Justice to really have him eating out of the palm of your hand.
Date Outfit Idea: Printed PantsThink printed pants are only a girl-approved trend? Joan Smalls proves otherwise by wearing hers with a sheer black top and matching bra. Show us a guy who wouldn't be into that!
Date Outfit Idea: a Glam Crop TopGive your cropped tank a dressed-up feel with a floaty midi- or maxiskirt. Wear it exactly like Jamie Chung is here—trust us, that minimal sliver of skin delivers maximum hotness.
Date Outfit Idea: a Sweet DressThat colorful sundress you love can go from day to night in two seconds flat if you throw on a jean jacket and Western-inspired booties. Newly single Katie Holmes knows what's up!
Date Outfit Idea: Colored DenimKeep the focus on your legs with perfectly fitted colored jeans. By wearing a simple tank and streamlined accessories like Sofia Vergara—OK, and some sky-high heels!—your legs are all but guaranteed to be the center of attention.
Date Outfit Idea: a Bright DressFor a dressier date night, a cocktail dress in super-flattering shape and a color that complements your skin tone will ensure that both you and your guy know you're a knockout. And if you'll be dancing, sensible heels like Corrine Bailey Rae chose here are always a safe bet.
Date Outfit Idea: Classic Denim and StripesWhen you're out with your guy, the last thing you want is to be fussing with your outfit the whole time. Stay comfortable with fitted (but not skintight) jeans, a striped tee, and shoes you can walk in. Joshua Jackson certainly seems to approve of the look on ladylove Diane Kruger!

Date Outfit Idea: an Easy DressOn hot, hot, hot days, you want to keep the clothing to a minimum while still leaving something to the imagination! Jordana Brewster demonstrates it in her fun, floaty dress and colored sunnies. After the sun sets, simply wear your sunglasses like a headband to instantly up the cool factor.

Date Outfit Idea: a Sheer PieceA dress with strategic cutouts or illusion panels is the ideal way to show off some sex appeal. Stick with a simple silhouette and a solid color like Karlie Kloss' little number. This risky look can be seriously rewarding.
Date Outfit Idea: a MiniskirtTo show off your gorgeous legs, play with proportion and choose a cute miniskirt, tucked-in tank, and shrunken blazer. Lea Michele added some sparkle and booties for a look that would fit right in anywhere, from a beer garden to a concert.
Date Outfit Idea: Dressy ShortsA loose top and shorts are your daytime go-to, so why not remix them for evening? Upgrade to a silky blouse, trouser shorts, and wedges like Ginnifer Goodwin for an ensemble that's as sophisticated as it is fun.
Date Outfit Idea: a V-Neck DressWe hate to break it to you, but you've been ignoring one very sexy body part: your collarbone! Show your clavicle some love with a wide V-neckine—and skip the necklace this time. Jordin Sparks gets the idea totally right here: Between that and her flawlessly cinched waist, she's va-va-voom perfection.
Date Outfit Idea: an LWDThe best way to show off a killer (faux) tan? Bright white! A little white dress is unexpected for nighttime and makes a great canvas for pretty accessories. Follow Minka Kelly's lead and choose simple silver jewelry for an ultra-femme look.
Date Outfit Idea: Monochrome SeparatesDon't be afraid to wear all one color! As Jennifer Lopez proves here, wearing the same shade on top and bottom can be drop-dead gorgeous, especially if it's a skin-matching neutral. Your shoes can go either way: Match them to the rest of the outfit or pick a completely different hue for a twist.
Date Outfit Idea: a Bold Print DressDudes aren't afraid of patterned clothes! A fun frock—like Mandy Moore's watercolor striped dress—is attention-getting and shows that you like to have a good time. Still afraid it's too much for him? Tame the print with a cropped black blazer and matching sandals.
Date Outfit Idea: Your Favorite PieceIf you normally dress funky, don't hide that from your guy! A cool, quirky dress like Solange Knowles' shouldn't be relegated to the closet just because you're on a date—in fact, you can amp it up even further with statement accessories. Daring to wear something unique lets your true style—and personality—shine through.

Check and understand Quality Score
The 1-10 Quality Score reported for each keyword in your account is an estimate of the quality of your ads and landing pages triggered by that keyword. Having a high Quality Score means that our systems think your ad and landing page are relevant and useful to someone looking at your ad. You can find out your Quality Score for any of your keywords.
Let's say that you own a website that specializes in socks, and Sam, a customer, is looking for striped socks. Wouldn't it be great if Sam typed "striped socks" into Google search, saw your ad about striped socks, clicked it, and then landed on your webpage and bought some spiffy new striped socks?
What would happen if, on the other hand, Sam simply saw an ad about "socks" or "clothes," especially if he saw it together with a competitor's ad about "striped socks"?
In the first case, the customer searches and finds exactly what he's looking for. That's what we consider a great user experience, and that's what can earn you a high Quality Score. What's more, relevant ads tend to earn more clicks, appear in a higher position, and bring you the most success.
Video length: 3:02
Checking your Quality Score
You can check your Quality Score by looking within your Keywords tab. There are a couple ways to check your Quality Score, as shown below.
Run a keyword diagnosis:
- Click the Campaigns tab at the top.
- Select the Keywords tab.
- Click the white speech bubble next to any keyword's status to see details about that keyword's Quality Score. You'll be able to see ratings for expected clickthrough rate, ad relevance, and landing page experience.
Another way to see your Quality Score is to enable the Qual. score column:
- Click the Campaigns tab at the top.
- Select the Keywords tab.
- Look for the Qual. score column in the statistics table. If you don't see this column in your table, you can add this column by doing the following:
- Click the Columns drop-down menu in the toolbar above the statistics table.
- Select Customize columns.
- Select Attributes.
- Click Add next to Qual. score.
- Click Save.
Each keyword gets a Quality Score on a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is the lowest score and 10 is the highest. Keep in mind that Quality Score is intended to give you a general sense of the quality of your ads, but it doesn't take into account any auction-time factors, such as someone's actual search terms, type of device, language preference, location, or the time of day. Similarly, the components of Quality Score that you see in your account -- expected clickthrough rate (CTR), ad relevance, and landing page experience, each with a descriptive estimate such as "average" or "above average" -- also don't consider auction-time factors.
Instead, every time one of your ads competes in the auction, AdWords calculates real-time measurements of expected CTR, ad relevance, and landing page experience that, together with your bid and other factors, produce a score called Ad Rank. It's this auction-time Ad Rank -- not the Quality Score estimates you see in your account -- that determines where your ad appears on the page or whether it appears at all.
How the components of Quality Score affect Ad Rank
Every time someone does a search that triggers an ad that competes in an auction, we calculate an Ad Rank. This calculation incorporates your bid, auction-time measurements of expected CTR, ad relevance, landing page experience, and other factors. To determine the auction-time quality components, we look at a number of different factors. By improving the following factors you can help improve the quality components of your Ad Rank:
- Your ad's expected CTR: This is based in part on your ad's historical clicks and impressions (excluding factors such as ad position, extensions, and other formats that may have affected the visibility of an ad that someone previously clicked)
- Your display URL's past CTR: The historical clicks and impressions your display URL has received
- The quality of your landing page: How relevant, transparent, and easy-to-navigate your page is
- Your ad/search relevance: How relevant your ad text is to what a person searches for
- Geographic performance: How successful your account has been in the regions you're targeting
- Your targeted devices: How well your ads have been performing on different types of devices, like desktops/laptops, mobile devices, and tablets
How ad quality affects you
The quality components of Ad Rank are used in several different ways and can affect the following things in your account:
- Ad auction eligibility: Having better quality components typically makes it easier and cheaper for your ads to enter an auction. Our measures of ad quality also help determine whether your ad is qualified to appear at all.
- Your actual cost-per-click (CPC): Higher quality ads can often lead to lower CPCs. That means you pay less per click when your ads are higher quality.
- Your keyword's first page bid estimate: Higher quality ads are typically associated with lower first page bid estimates. That means it's easier for your ads to show on the first page of search results when they have high quality components (expected CTR, ad relevance, and landing page experience).
- Your keyword's top of page bid estimate: Higher quality ads are typically associated with lower top of page bid estimates. That means it's easier for your ad to show towards the top of the page when your ads are higher quality.
- Ad position: Higher quality ads lead to higher ad positions, meaning they can show up higher on the page.
- Eligibility for ad extensions and other ad formats: Some ad formats require a minimum ad quality threshold to show. In addition, your Ad Rank determines whether or not your ad is eligible to be displayed with ad extensions and other ad formats, such as sitelinks. Because Ad Rank is a function of the components of Quality Score, higher quality ads can increase the likelihood that your ad is displayed with extensions and other formats.
In a nutshell, higher quality ads typically lead to lower costs and better ad positions. The AdWords system works best for everybody – advertisers, customers, publishers, and Google – when the ads we show are relevant, closely matching what customers are looking for. Relevant ads tend to earn more clicks, appear in a higher position, and bring you the most success.

GENEVA — It is one of the cosmos' most mysterious unsolved cases: dark matter. It is supposedly what holds the universe together. We can't see it, but scientists are pretty sure it's out there.
Led by a dogged, Nobel Prize-winning gumshoe who has spent 18 years on the case, scientists put a $2 billion detector aboard the International Space Station to try to track down the stuff. And after two years, the first evidence came in Wednesday: tantalizing cosmic footprints that seem to have been left by dark matter.
But the evidence isn't enough to declare the case closed. The footprints could have come from another, more conventional suspect: a pulsar, or a rotating, radiation-emitting star.
The Sam Spade in the investigation, physicist and Nobel laureate Sam Ting of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said he expects a more definitive answer in a matter of months. He confidently promised: "There is no question we're going to solve this problem."
"It's a tantalizing hint," said California Institute of Technology physicist Sean Carroll, who was not part of the team. "It's a sign of something." But he can't quite say what that something is. It doesn't eliminate the other suspect, pulsars, he added.
The results from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, or AMS, are significant because dark matter is thought to make up about a quarter of all the matter in the universe.
"We live in a sea of dark matter," said Michael Salamon, who runs the AMS program for the U.S. Energy Department. Unraveling the mystery of dark matter could help scientists better understand the composition of our universe and, more particularly, what holds galaxies together.
Ting announced the findings in Geneva at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, the particle physics laboratory known as CERN.
The 7-ton detector with a 3-foot magnet ring at its core was sent into space in 2011 in a shuttle mission commanded by astronaut Mark Kelly while his wife, then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, was recovering from a gunshot wound to the head. The device is transmitting its data to CERN, where it is being analyzed.
For 80 years scientists have theorized the existence of dark matter but have never actually observed it directly. They have looked for it in accelerators that smash particles together at high speed. No luck. They've looked deep underground with special detectors. Again no luck.
Then there's a third way: looking in space for the results of rare dark matter collisions. If particles of dark matter crash and annihilate each other, they should leave a footprint of positrons – the antimatter version of electrons – at high energy levels. That's what Ting and AMS are looking for.
They found some. But they could also be signs of pulsars, Ting and others concede. What's key is the curve of the plot of those positrons. If the curve is one shape, it points to dark matter. If it's another, it points to pulsars. Ting said they should know the curve – and the suspect – soon.
The instrument will be measuring cosmic rays, where the footprints are found, until 2020 or so.
Other scientists praised the results and looked forward to more.
"This is an 80-year-old detective story and we are getting close to the end," said University of Chicago physicist Michael Turner, one of the giants in the field of dark matter. "This is a tantalizing clue and further results from AMS could finish the story."

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- Z. Mason (Nashville, Tenn.), Dontay Hampton (Chattanooga, Tenn.) and Ronrico White (Knoxville, Tenn.) combined for 62 points to spark the Chattanooga Mocs' (8-10/3-2) 91-88 come-from-behind overtime win over Appalachian State (7-9/3-2) in McKenzie Arena Thursday night. UTC trailed by 19 with 6:36 before the ferocious comeback triumph.
Hampton, who tallied a career-high 22 points, capped the furious rally with an NBA-range three-pointer with 18 seconds remaining which sent the game into overtime. The Mocs closed regulation on an 8-1 run after Jay Canty gave the Mountaineers a seven-point cushion, 77-70, with a layup with 1:30 to play.
Chattanooga trailed the entire game. Its first lead was on a Hampton trey with 3:28 to go in the extra stanza putting his squad ahead one, 83-82. Mike Neal had the answer for App with a three of his own for an 85-83 lead.
But the Mocs would not be denied. Drazen Zlovaric (Novi Sad, Serbia) tied it up with a jumper in the paint on the ensuing possession. Gee McGhee (Baton Rouge, La.) blocked Canty on the defensive end before Mason put UTC up for good, 87-85, with a layup with two minutes to go.
The lead swelled to four on two White free throws, 89-85, with just over 22 seconds to play. Nathan Healy came up big for the Mountaineers. His trey just seven seconds later cut the margin to one, 89-88.
Hampton stepped to the line with a little more than eight seconds left. He missed both free throws after injuring his hand on the foul play. But the ball went out of bounds off the Mountaineers and White followed, calmly sinking two free throws for the 91-88 lead at 6.6 left. Healy's game-tying effort at the buzzer was off the mark for the Mocs win.
Mason had game highs with 23 points and 11 rebounds, eight coming on the offensive end. White chipped in 17 points, six rebounds, four assists and four steals. Zlovaric added 10 points and six rebounds.
App State was paced by Healy's 22 points, 10 rebounds and four steals. Tab Hamilton posted 21 points, while Canty added 19 points, six rebounds and five assists.
The Mountaineers quickly took control of the game after an eight-point halftime lead. Canty made it a 15-point lead, 49-34, with a layup at 15:12. It went to 18, 60-42, on Healy's trey at 8:48. Healy made it 19, 64-45, with two free throws at 6:36.
It was all UTC from there to the end of regulation. Hampton (11) and Mason (9) combined for 20 points the rest of the way as the efficient group scored on its final 13 possessions.
Zlovaric got the margin under 10 for good with a basket at 4:30. A three-point play the next trip down by White made it a five-point game, 67-62, at 3:50.
Healy drained one of his four treys on the night to stretch the lead back to nine, 75-66. It look to be a dagger shot with 2:10 left, but there was no quit in the scrappy Mocs.
Sam Watson (Knoxville, Tenn.) and White scored on back-to-back trips to get it back to a manageable five points, 75-70, at 1:36. Canty's basket was followed by a three-pointer from Mason and then his layup on the next time down to cut it to two, 77-75. Canty made the second of two free throws with 26 seconds left to set up Hampton's heroics.
It's the second straight season Hampton has been the hero at home against App State. He hit the game-winner last year on a coast-to-coast driving layup with 0.8 to play.
In the final six-and-a-half minutes the Mocs grabbed five offensive rebounds to zero defensive for the Mountaineers. Chattanooga ended up winning the rebounding battle 45-39 with a 20-10 advantage on second chance points.
The bench was pivotal out-scoring their guests 31-14 led by Hampton's 22. Watson added five points and four boards in a reserve role.
The unsung hero was McGhee. He had five rebounds, five assists and two blocks to go with eight points. His defense down the stretch on Canty played a major role in the win.
App State led by 10 early, 28-18 at 9:35, when the Mocs made a run. UTC held its visitors without a field goal for more than five minutes en route to an 11-1 run. Hampton tied the game at 29 at 4:14 with a three-pointer from the left wing on a great feed from McGhee. But that was the Mocs last basket of the first frame. App finished the half on a 9-1 run to take a 38-30 lead into the break.
Chattanooga remains in the Scenic City to host Western Carolina Saturday at 7 p.m. Listen to the exciting play-by-play from "Voice of the Mocs" Jim Reynolds on ESPN 105.1 the Zone in Chattanooga, or world-wide on GoMocs.com.
