COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (March 16)-New Mexico State freshman diver Audrey Ruiz represented the Aggies at the NCAA Zone E Diving Championships, March 14-16, at the Air Force Academy Cadet Natatorium in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Ruiz competed in all three diving events. She opened the zone meet on the 3-meter springboard, March 14. Ruiz scored 224.30 points and finished in 45th place. The following day, March 15, Ruiz posted 190.70 points on the 1-meter board for a 47th-place showing. She ended the zone meet on the platform. Ruiz was 37th on the tower with a score of 121.50.
"This was Audrey's first NCAA Zone Championship, and as such it was an incredible learning experience for her," diving coach Molly Parker said. "This was her first collegiate meet experience of this size and caliber and in each event she really focused on her own meet which shows a level of competitive maturity. Gaining experience at this type of meet is crucial for her development as a competitor."

On Saturday, August 25, members of the Pushmataha County Sportsman Club competed in a team bass tournament on Sardis Lake. Contestants fished under cloudy skies with light rain and moderate temperatures for most of the day, which was much more enjoyable than the one hundred plus degree temperatures of the last several bass tournaments.
The team of Judd Thomas and Josh Cole took first place honors. They had a six fish limit that weighed 15.75 pounds. Earl Jones finished in second place. Earl also had a six fish limit that weighed 13.82 pounds. Terry Thurman and Jon Tucker came in third with a stringer weight of 13.16 pounds. Jon also had the big bass of the tournament with a fish weighing 5.15 pounds.
The club's next and last regular season bass tournament is scheduled for September 8, on Hugo Lake. However, due to the extremely low water level in the lake, the tournament may be moved to Sardis Lake. If there is not any significant rainfall to raise the lake level to 402.5 feet or higher, the tournament will be moved. Those planning on fishing the tournament should check the Antlers American for a formal announcement on the week of the tournament.View more articles in:

TMZ reports that Steven Hirsch, the founder of Vivid Entertainment, has made a written offer to Kate Middleton's sister Pippa, to star in an adult scene. Vivid, which is one of the largest factories of adult entertainment worldwide, has made a fortune selling explicit videos featuring Pamela Anderson, Kim Kardashian, Jimi Hendrix and Kendra Fishburne.
Here's an excerpt from Hirsch's letter to Middleton:
"As far as I was concerned, you were the star of the recent Royal Wedding. As I watched a broadcast of the event I couldn't help but think that with your beauty and attitude you could be an enormously successful adult star…
"For just one explicit scene I would be pleased to offer you $5-million and, of course, you would have a choice of partners. If you would like to bring your brother James along, he could appear in a separate scene for $1-million.
"I hope you will give this offer serious consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.
Doubtless, Pippa Middleton will not give consideration, serious or otherwise, to Hirsch's offer. Equally doubtless, Hirsch isn't holding his breath for a response. Rather, the letter amounts to a marketing stunt that is as savvy as it is brazen and tasteless.
The public-offer-to-pose-nude method is by no means new. In fact, Vivid is taking a page from the s.o.p section of the Hugh Hefner marketing playbook. Public offers, to the likes of Toni Braxton, J-Woww, Emma Watson and Cheryl Cole, have for years been sure publicity-getters for Playboy (to be fair, a pictorial in Playboy is one thing – an adult movie scene is another).
Vivid's marketing stunt amounts to a head-on collision between effective publicity and good taste – par for the course given the nature of Vivid's product.
Is Hirsch's offer to Pippa Middleton a smart marketing move in your view? Looking forward to your comments.

Emmanuel Baptist Church to add children's wingWritten by David Yonke Editor, ToledoFAVS.com | | email@example.com
On Nov. 24, Emmanuel Baptist Church will dedicate a new $1.6 million children's wing that adds more space, more color and more security to the church's ministry for children, from infants to elementary school kids.
Decorated with vibrant wallpaper featuring cartoon-like backgrounds from the Bible era, the new wing adds about 20,000 square feet of space to the existing 8,000-square-foot children's area, which was built in the 1960s.
"The old children's area was really outdated and overcrowded," said the Rev. Duke Crawford, senior pastor since 2009.
Traffic in the new wing's hallways should flow much more smoothly — unless people stop and stare at the artwork. The wide hallways spring to life with the heavy-duty murals by Wacky World Studios, a company whose founder, Bruce Barry, honed his craft working for Universal Studios and designing Rainforest Cafes.
The Rev. Dave Rodgers, pastor of soul care and family ministries, pointed out that the children can write on the walls in the new rooms — "but only in specified spots," he quickly added.
The leadership of Emmanuel Baptist, a church founded in 1898 and affiliated with the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches, had been discussing adding a new children's wing for about 10 years, Crawford said.
As of spring 2012, they had saved up $500,000 toward a $2.5 million blueprint for the new addition.
Everything needed to get the project going came together unexpectedly when the building fund was boosted by the bequests of two estates — those of Beulah Lewis, who owned the Scripture Supply Store in Sylvania, and Roger and Florence Dunbar, who in 2000 had also helped fund the building of Emmanuel Baptist Elementary School, now Emmanuel Christian School.
The church suddenly had $1.5 million in the bank, Crawford said, and the leadership decided to scale down its plans so the children's wing could be built with the money in hand.
"It's a wonderful thing how God worked on this," said Crawford.
The church hired Thomas DuBose & Associates for the architectural work and The Dotson Company as general contractor.
Ground was broken in October 2012 and the project took a little more than a year to complete. Crawford said Emmanuel Baptist has invited all the construction workers and others involved in the project to attend the dedication service because the 700-member church would like to honor them for their efforts.
Standing in one of the wide, brightly lit hallways shortly before the building was completed, Crawford said security has been a priority from the start. Parents and guardians will have to sign their children in, and no adults will be allowed into the children's areas unless they are working.
"Safety is a big thing throughout the whole check-in and check-out process," he said.
Rodgers, who joined Emmanuel Baptist in 2008, said the floors are divided into "splash" areas with tile, for kitchen and crafts, and carpeted areas for playtime, Bible stories and other activities. Each room in the new wing has its own bathroom, he added.
Coinciding with the dedication of the new addition will be the release of a new children's book titled "Breeze & Slate," written by Crawford and illustrated by church member Sandy Chipka.
"It's a story of two horses. The one with the best master is the one with the best life. Jesus is the best master to serve," Crawford said.
Crawford said the focus of Emmanuel Baptist's children's ministry is to give the future generation a Bible-based foundation.
"We want a children's ministry founded on God's word. The most significant thing to us is that the children learn about Jesus," he said.
For the dedication on Nov. 24, Emmanuel Baptist Church will host an open house from 9-10:45 a.m.; a worship service from 10:30-11:45 a.m., and a book sale from 11:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. The church is at 4207 Laskey Road, Toledo.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) As it turns out, Scotty McCreery can have it all.
The platinum-selling teen and former American Idol champ began his freshman year at North Carolina State University recently and hes managed to work out a schedule that allows him to balance his college education with his country music education.
Its not the first test McCreery has passed on his quick rise to fame, first winning Season 10 of Idol, then becoming the youngest male to enter the Billboard 200 at No. 1. While the siren call of celebrity has had a strong pull, McCreery has said all along he also wants to maintain the normal life hed been planning before he was swept away by Idol.
Thats why he chose N.C. State over a school closer to Nashville. He lives in an off-campus apartment in Raleigh with lifelong friends, just 15 or 20 minutes from his home in Garner and only an hour from Music City by plane.
He goes to class on Mondays and Wednesdays, where hes mostly been left alone to study by courteous fellow students.
Then he either joins the Brad Paisley tour on the road or works with producer Mark Bright on writing and assembling songs for his next album. Hes even managed to slip in intramural football on Tuesdays. Well, most Tuesdays.
Going to State, it gives me a chance to have a little bit of a home base, to have a little bit of normalcy whatever normal is, McCreery said. I think its good for me as a person. Im still figuring out what my normal is.
What isnt normal is the interest in McCreery by fans. His popularity is off the charts in the country music world where the average male star is usually in his 30s. McCreery doesnt turn 19 till later this month and there are signs everywhere that his popularity continues to grow.
Billboard and Variety both just named him one of musics top young stars.
And even his Christmas album, Christmas with Scotty McCreery, due out next week, shows signs of unusually strong fan interest. Its Universal Music Groups top preorder this year, outselling even Lady Gaga and Kanye West.
The goal now, McCreery says, is to lock in those fans, which requires him to seek a well-rounded education. Monday through Wednesday hes working on 12 credit hours toward his communications degree.
Thursday through Sunday, its all about learning the secrets of longevity in the country world.
About the only accolade McCreery doesnt have is a top 10 song at country radio, something he knows hell need if he wants to be doing this at 40.
Were still looking for songs because thats what the second album is about for me, McCreery said.
Im going to be picking and choosing. Country music is about the songs. This last year Ive had sold-out shows, Ive won awards and stuff, but I havent had that huge monster hit yet. Thats a song I really need to have.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by gossamerdreams So cute and fun Recommend these warmly, got the ones with Mexican blanket patches, the patchwork wash. Its funny, i fit into my normal size in these, 25, but i have a tomgirl figure, with not so big hips, so i think many will need to size up, as evident from other reviews. Shall be interesting to see how the patches like being laundred. Measurements in inches from size 25: Inseam 29. Hem (across) 5. Front rise 7. Back rise 9.5 Waist (across) 13. Compare these with a pair of skinnies in 100% cotton that fit you well and you have a way to tell if these would fit you. 9.21.2012

I'm 5'9 with a drop waist of 32'' hips 37''and inseam of 30''. I'm long and lean with an athletic build. When I got them I was shocked at how huge they looked before I tried them on..I was swimming in them. I am going to exchange and try a 26 instead? I will post how it turned out. Hope this helps! 3.27.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by murrayme wish they looked like the picture. I love the jeans in this picture. I was really hoping to get them. the patches on mine look much cheesier. I really loved the look of the pink with the red in the photo, that is why i got them. Mine look like a cheap version of this without the cute colors or the nice overlapping patches. The fit is good, but i don't know if that is enough. I know it is gonna very a little, but i just really want jeans like those shown. 4.4.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by ksfl Not sure whats happening with sizes!! I am 5'2 and 108-109 and usually wear 24/25. I tired blue tribe on in 25 and they were swimming on me, they were were out of 24 so then tried the patch work wash in the 24 and they were tight and uncomfortable to wear until they stretched out, they did have those in 25, good in leg and more like a boyfriend on top- not tight at all, after a wear they will for sure be loose, but i think they will look cute and slouchy. I then tried the vintage white in 24 and I could not even get my feet through, really? I mean the sizes are all over, if you can try on first-do! I ended up getting the 25 in patch work, I am still thinking on returning or keeping. They were on sale for 39.95 so a steal, but not if they don'y fit properly!!! 3.12.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by carleighk15 So Trendy !!! these are so cute, but not as flattering as I expected I am 5'9 and wear a 27 in free people jeans and these fit perfectly, although they are slightly too short so i wear them rolled up a little. the white paint is not on the ones I have in vintage white, but that was ok with me, but they were worth the money and go with so many of my shirts. 1.18.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by bowens LOVE!!!! I ordered a size up and they were tight, but fit! Love them and have gotten tons of compliments! 8.29.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by pjt SO SAD Couldn't wait for these jeans to come in! They are beyond adorable but as soon as I pulled them out of the box I could tell they weren't going to fit. I wear a 29 in all Free People Jeans and they honestly fit like a 26. The style and quality is great but fit is way off! 8.23.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Lilci Really Bummed I purchased these jeans in my normal size which is 28 or 29. Since they look like they might run small I choose 29. Got them in the mail and took them out or the bag and seriously I began to laugh. Omg it was o funny when I saw these jeans they look like a 10 year old could wear them. WOW DO THEY RUN SMALL. ORDERED ANOTHER PAIR 2 DAYS AGO TO TRY IT AGAIN THIS TIME I WENT UP 2 SIZES WILL TELL YOU AGAIN WHAT HAPPENS TO BE CONTINUED....... REALLY CUTE JEANS THOU 9.3.2012

For years now, I've tried and tried to tell you all this and you just haven't listened:
Reducing the American worker to the level of the slaves that work in sweatshops in China, Latin America and elsewhere in the third world, all in the name of "free trade", has been the official policy of almost all of the Republicans and most of the Democrats for nearly 3 decades now.
One of the most steadfast supporters of this "free trade treason" is our own illustrious, Christian conservative Congressman-for Life, Don Manzullo.
On January 25, our man Don once again showed his contempt for the working people in his own district by voting AGAINST a resolution that would allow:
"no spending for any contract entered into by the United States Government with a company that has been determined by the Secretary of Labor to have offshored or outsourced American jobs overseas".
This language would have been added to H Res 38
which was passed on the same day and resolved to reduce non-security discretionary spending at federal agencies for the remainder of the fiscal year 2011 to FY 2008 levels.
Speaker Boehner and other Republicans who supported the original text of the resolution touted their devotion to saving American jobs from what Boehner calls Congressional Democrats' "job-destroying spending spree that has left us with nothing but historic unemployment" and "their job-crushing spending binge on auto-pilot"
Well, despite their professed concern for American jobs, Boehner and his buddies, including our dear Don, voted against adding the above provision to their resolution
and therefore have indicated that they will continue to allow the federal government to spend taxpayer money on contracts with companies that outsource the American jobs they claim to be concerned with.
This is what hypocrisy looks like, Stanley, and when it comes to hypocrisy your fellow Christians, Don Manzullo and John Boehner, are veritable masters of deceit.
It's hypocrisy like this that makes me hate Jesus, Stanley, to the extent that it is possible to hate a work of fiction.
Wake up and smell the coffee, brother!
That imaginary savior you worship has never been anything more than a convenient excuse for war, bigotry and other crimes against innocent people. If we really want justice, Stanley, we must rid our country of the curse of Christianity and other forms of sanctified bigotry.

When we see men and women in military uniforms, many of us want to walk up and thank them for devoting their lives to preserve our freedom. Now, you can show our appreciation by awarding active or retired U.S. military members a free haircut. It's all part of the "Thank a Veteran" promotion from Great Clips, the world's largest hair salon brand. Great Clips leaders say the gesture is one small thank-you for our veterans' service to country.
Shears salute
On Veterans Day, Monday, Nov. 11, customers who come in for a haircut at any U.S. Great Clips salon will receive a free haircut card to give to an active/inactive/retired military member of any branch, including the National Guard. Military members can also come in on Veterans Day for a free haircut or to pick up a free haircut card to use, with proof of service, any day before Dec. 31.
"We're honored to help the entire nation show appreciation for the men and women who have served our country," says Great Clips CEO, Rhoda Olsen, who is married to a Vietnam veteran. "We invite everyone to come into a U.S. Great Clips salon on Veterans Day (Nov. 11) to purchase a service and pick up a free haircut card. Give the card to your veteran neighbor, family member or just someone you notice is a veteran to thank them for serving our country. It's one small way to show you truly care and appreciate their service."
How It works
Customers come into any U.S. Great Clips salon on Nov. 11 and, with the purchase of a service, receive a free haircut card to give to a veteran.
Limit one card per customer.
The free haircut cards are redeemable by veterans at any U.S. Great Clips from Nov. 11–Dec. 31 with proof of service. The promotion applies to veterans only.
Veterans who visit Great Clips in the U.S. on Nov. 11 receive either a free haircut that day or a free haircut card to redeem by Dec. 31. After Nov. 11, veterans must have a free haircut card to get the free haircut.
"Many of our franchise owners, corporate staff and Great Clips stylists have served in the military, or have family members or customers who have served, so we are all excited to be a part of this nationwide 'thank-you' to our men and women in uniform," says Terri Miller, Great Clips vice president of marketing and communications. "To make sure as many veterans as possible have the opportunity to get their free haircut, we extended this promotion through the end of the year. We want to give these great people more time to visit a Great Clips and redeem this thank-you card for a free haircut in honor of their service."

Eric confides in Brooke about Taylor, Quinn blames Hope for causing upheaval, and Bill and Liam reach out to Wyatt.
At the outdoor restaurant, Brooke tells Eric that Hope and Liam are engaged. She warns Taylor will want him to boycott. Eric says Taylor left him after they argued about her exposing Brooke's secrets. He guesses it wasn't meant to be. They talk about Hope's wedding. Brooke is relieved that finally, there's no one to get in the way.
Outside the restaurant, Quinn hollers at Hope that her entire relationship with Wyatt is in jeopardy because of her. Hope says she's glad Wyatt and Bill know the truth. Quinn wonders if she's going to earn a badge for this. Hope insists it's for the best. Quinn calls her a spoiled little rich kid. Hope says she knows Bill's a jerk, but they had a right to know. Quinn hopes Liam will keep her busy and away from Wyatt. Hope says he'll be her brother-in-law soon. As Quinn rants at Hope for not minding her own business, Brooke intervenes. Quinn says Hope stuck her privileged little nose where it didn't belong and storms off. Brooke and Hope rejoin Eric, who congratulates Hope and leaves. Hope tells Brooke that Quinn's son Wyatt turned out to be Bill's son.
Bill and Liam follow Wyatt to the jewelry warehouse. They go inside. Wyatt says he lives there and runs the business for Quinn. He is packing to go camping - he can't stay there. Bill asks what he wants. Wyatt replies, "Not this. Not you." Wyatt and Bill argue about him giving Quinn abortion money. Bill's glad she didn't go through with it. Bill compares them to the Cartwrights - a father and his two sons. Liam and Wyatt don't get it. Wyatt feels the only thing they have in common is the necklace. Liam says he knows what Wyatt is feeling. He asks him to give them a chance. Wyatt wants to leave but Bill needs to have his say. He thinks Quinn owes them both an explanation. Wyatt says Quinn owes Bill nothing. Wyatt tries to leave again. Bill and Liam decide they'll go camping with him. Wyatt argues that Bill must prefer first class. Liam jokes that he'd like to see Caroline camping. "That's your cousin." Wyatt's got new family overload. Bill takes an interest in the jewelry. Wyatt admits they've done better since he took over. Bill tells him he's a Spencer and welcomes him to the family with an embrace. Quinn appears. "Take your hands off my son!"

You don't need to be a millionaire to stay in even the ritziest hotels in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Rates are very affordable, even if you're looking to stay at a smaller boutique hotel or a large and amenity-packed 4-star resort.
Want to be in the middle of everything? Downtown Albuquerque includes many interesting hotel sites, plus a great selection of shops and restaurants. This is where you'll find high-rise brand-name hotels that offer all the extra comforts in a convenient part of the city.
Looking for an exclusively Albuquerque stay? Lodgings near Old Town feature more quaint and traditional historical buildings that are a mix of boutique hotels and bed and breakfasts. Get individualized service in a homey atmosphere. The area is very walkable and has the vintage charm of Old New Mexico.
If shopping is a major draw for you, Uptown is definitely where you want to be. It's easy to get into the Downtown area, but Uptown has tons of shops and restaurants of its own, giving you the choice of staying near your hotel.
The University of New Mexico district is perfect for those on a budget, as well as those who don't want to rent a car. With many reasonably priced hotels and restaurants, there is also a great public transportation system to help you get around to other areas of Albuquerque. You can even walk to or from the airport from the UNM district, especially if you pack light and don't have a lot of luggage to take with you.
Stay in the historic district of Nob Hill, where you can book a room in one of your favorite hotel chains or a lovely boutique hotel. Rates are very affordable, which means you can splurge on goodies at the funky and trendy shops, lively nightspots, and posh restaurants that round out this neighborhood.

Compare prices, locations, customer reviews, and star ratings to find the best option for your trip. Also, don't forget your itinerary: While you're in the area, choose your hotel based on which of the many great sites and attractions you'd like to see. Couples, singles, and families can find the best deals on hotels in Albuquerque, NM, for their vacation now!
Must-See Attractions
Whether you're in town for business or pleasure, there are a few things that you should really see in Albuquerque, NM. Hotels on the northern end of the city may be closer to the Sandia Peak Tramway, which is a trip that shouldn't be missed! This 2.7-mile tramway brings you to the top of the 10,378-foot Sandia Peak, where you can have a spectacular view of the city and the greater Rio Grande Valley. Consider taking the trip during the sunset hours, and definitely bring your camera. Another important stop on your trip could be the eclectic Old Town Albuquerque, which brings together galleries, antique shops, specialty stores, and restaurants in an old-world setting. The best time to book Albuquerque hotels is in October, as the city draws people from all over to the world to attend the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. Fall is also a great time for festivals like Dia de los Muertos as well. If you happen to be in the area during other times of the year, feel free to wander over to the Balloon Fiesta Park and the Anderson Abruzzo International Balloon Museum.
The Western Land of Science and Discovery
Since the city is the home base for several key industries today and for famous scientific endeavors like the Manhattan Project in the past, science thrives in Albuquerque. Hotels for families should be found near the ABQ BioPark. This massive park houses not only a zoo and a botanical garden but also an aquarium and Tingley Beach. Children and families can have a lot of fun exploring this section of town and finding everything from elephants to sharks to polar bears. For even more educational adventures, explore the renowned Explora Science Center, which promotes hands-on learning in which children use tools, make observations, and learn mathematical and scientific concepts interactively. On the other hand, perhaps your child would be more impressed by the giant Tyrannosaurus Rex or the hall of stars at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science. It also features exhibits regarding the short and explosive history of the computer and some of the scientific discovers of the area. For more information on local scientific endeavors, visit the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History, which educates about radiation, energy, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Cold War, and other pivotal moments in nuclear science. The nuclear industry has such a large impact on the city that the local baseball team is actually called the Arizona Isotopes.
Culture and History
Long before Europeans settled in the Albuquerque Basin, native peoples roamed the vast landscape, cultivated plants, and studied the stars. A short drive from Albuquerque is the Pueblo of Acoma, a breathtaking sight in the desert. While you're there, you can visit the Sky City Cultural Center and the Haak'u Museum. Also within a fair driving distance is the remarkable Petroglyph National Monument, which houses petroglyphs carved into volcanic rock about 400 to 700 years ago. Hike through this remarkable landscape to see the beautiful carvings along canyon trails. It's both a great climb and a fascinating historical landscape. You can also find many artifacts closer to Albuquerque. Hotels in the downtown area will be close to the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, which often includes live music, Native American dances, works from local craftsmen, a cafe, and a historical museum. Nearby, there's the Albuquerque Museum near Old Town. It houses not only Native American art but also historical items from early settlers as well. It serves as both an excellent history museum and a great art museum.
Many Ways to Explore
Those visiting the area can have a lot of fun wandering away from their hotels. In Albuquerque, NM, there are many different ways to explore. You could run, hike, or bike along the Paseo del Bosque Trail to get a comprehensive look at the city. While you're on the trail, you could check out the public art, the Rio Grande State Park, and many of the great aforementioned sights such as the ABQ BioPark. If you'd rather not bike those 16 miles, catch a ride with the ABQ Trolley Company. Fans of the popular television show Breaking Bad would have a lot of fun on the "Bad Tour." On the other hand, you could see the city from the air. Since Albuquerque is such a popular site for hot air ballooning, you can also view the sunset over the valley with World Balloon Hot Air Balloon Rides or the Rainbow Ryders. Be sure to book your trip far in advance to get a chance at this great tour. Choose to ride in the morning or evening for a really romantic way to celebrate an anniversary or major event. Or perhaps you'd just like a simple food and wine tour. Make sure to check out local favorites like Sophia's Place, Two Fools Tavern, Taqueria Mexico, Frontier Restaurant, or The Grove Cafe & Market.
When to Visit
If you want to see the skies fill with hot air balloons, definitely come during the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. Festival season typically lasts between September and November; however, Albuquerque is a great place to visit year-round. The winter months typically have mild to cold weather, generally hovering around 40 degrees Fahrenheit, but the nearby mountains typically get snow, making it a favorite destination for skiers and snowboarders. The least crowded time of the year is in the summer months, with temperatures in the 90s and the chance of frequent afternoon showers. Note that when you're planning your trip, you can often find great deals with our vacation packages, which bundle your flight, car rental, and hotel into one cheap price. Find the best way to save with Travelocity today!

Greensburg, PA – The Hilbert Hawks men's soccer team began the start of Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference play when they traveled to The University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg on Saturday, September 25th. The Hawks settled for a 0-3 loss, dropping their AMCC record to 0-1 for the season. Pitt-Greensburg opened the scoring up in first four minutes of play off a double assisted ball to Justin Grubb. Hilbert's defense would hold for the next forty-five minutes before Craig MacDonald put his seventh ball of the season past the goalie. The last scoring for the day occurred in the 72nd minute. Hilbert continues to be outshot on net, with goalie Kamil Cislak (Lancaster, NY/Lancaster) making 4 saves on the visitors.
The Hawks are still in search of their first win and hoping to secure their first conference victory when they host Franciscan University on Saturday, October 2 at 4 pm.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Hello everyone,
I'm searching for a program or something else which can stream video's and if possible on a webpage that I can forward to my public ip address. I have a collection of video's that I want to see when I'm not at home. I found out how you can stream music, but Video's are something else. I know of VLC, but can I still see a well organised structure of my video's with VLC? Does someone knows a solution to this?
Thanks in advance.

Our soul knows more than our brain can imagine
I loved that video. It told me: You are right, when you run to God, when you are suffering. I know well, that this illness or sadness He Himself sent or let happen. Well knowing, that He is responsible for it, My soul longs to run to him. Seems stupid. But our loving connection makes me do this. He has taught me a whole long life, that He loves His children. - So, maybe I am like the boy in the video, already 8 years old. (Only a metapher.)

Last week, I shared that I had found 'new-to-me' information about one of my wife's cousins, Dr. James Albert Faulkner. James is Ellen's second cousin, twice removed and was, in addition to being a noted physician in the Belleville, Ontario region, the Ontario Minister of Health in the provincial government Cabinet from 1934 - 1937.
I got an additional surprise when checking information available on the Find-A-Grave site about the James Faulkner family when I found that James' mother-in-law, Catharine Aurelia Vermilyea (nee Farley) had been murdered. Mrs. Vermilyea suffered a violent and untimely death on the evening of October 4th, 1934, on Bridge Street in Belleville, Ontario. Although I would not usually pursue research into a family that is not directly related to either Ellen or myself, I will often at least record any vital record type information about a relation's in-laws to complete 'the picture' and for future reference. It was through this that I discovered the note on Mrs. Vermilyea's Find-A-Grave 'memorial' page that referenced the manner in which she died.
Thirty-six hours after the murder, her son, Harold W. Vermilyea, was arrested in Ontario, San Bernardino, California (Harold is pictured above with the arresting officer William Hammond of the Ontario, California police department). And so began a story that competed on the front pages of newspapers in Canada and the United States with the Linbergh baby kidnapping and the trial of Bruno Hauptmann for the crime as well as the rise of Hitler and the Nazi Party in Germany. The Vermilyea murder story was gripping as there were no witnesses to the crime, the son of an affluent Belleville family was accused of matricide, and everyone wanted to know how someone, in 1934, who lived in Ontario, California could murder someone in Belleville, Ontario and be back home in California thirty-six hours later.
In the next couple of posts, I will re-tell what many pages of newspaper articles from the Toronto Star's Pages of the Past told captive southern Ontario communities about Harold, the Vermilyea family, the crime and the punishment.

what was the address on Bridge street where Dr James Albert Faulkner and his wife Helen lived. Did he have his medical practice there at the time when they carried Aurelia into the room or was it just into the house living room?ReplyDelete
The street address is 257 Bridge Street, Belleville, Ontario. It is a Canadiuan National Historic site known as 'Glanmore.'ReplyDelete

Oregon Mall Shooting: Gunman 'Tentatively' Identified - Yahoo!
The Shooting at the mall must be made up! Remember the Democrats said "guns are Bad". All the criminal must have turned theirs in.
I Pray for the Victims and HOPE TO HELL the victims and/or their friends or families did not bring their gun to the mall because of some NO GUN SIGN.

Quite the engineering feat, the Dell XPS 13 manages to cram a vibrant and sharp display into an 11-inch chassis, making it one of the most compact Ultrabooks yet. (You can barely see the razor-thin bezel.) This 2.8-pound laptop also delivers fast performance, thanks to its Core i5 processor and SSD. Starting at $799, the non-touch-screen version of this machine lasted nearly 12 hours on a charge, giving you plenty of endurance. Dell also sells a version with a sharper quad-HD touch display, which is even more vibrant. Overall, the new XPS 13 is the best ultraportable for the money.
Although the new 12-inch MacBook is sleeker, the MacBook Air 13-inch is a better deal overall. This 3-pound aluminum ultraportable lasted 14 hours on the Laptop Mag Battery Test, which is well above the category average. Although the screen resolution could be sharper (it's just 1,440 x 900p) the Air's comfortable keyboard, superfast flash storage and sub-$1,000 price tag make it one of the best laptops on the market.
Never before has $200 bought a laptop this good. The Asus Eeebook X205TA runs a full version of Windows 8.1 and comes with free one-year subscriptions to Office 365 and 1TB of cloud storage on OneDrive, along with solid quad-core Atom performance, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard flash storage. The X205TA offers one of the best screens on a notebook in this price range fitted in a slim and sleek body. The best part? The X205TA's 12+ hour battery life is almost double the length of low-cost competitors.
Lenovo's ThinkPad T series line of business laptops have long been known for their powerful performance, long battery life and superior usability. The 14-inch ThinkPad T450s builds on that rich tradition, offering a gorgeous, 1920 x 1080-pixel touch screen; a durable, MIL-SPEC-tested design; and the most responsive keyboard on the market. With more than 15 hours of endurance with the extended battery, this lightweight powerhouse lets you get your work done in style, anywhere at any time.
This gaming laptop doesn't need a light show -- it is the light show. The Alienware 17 is back in all of its customizable backlit glory. This time around, the machine has been updated with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 980M GPU, making it a beast when it comes to churning out high frame rates. But if you need a little more oomph, there's the optional Graphics Amplifier, which brings in the big guns in the form of a desktop GPU. Combined with the gorgeous 1080p display and powerful Core i7 processor, you've got a laptop that can talk the talk and walk the walk.
The larger version of the T100, one of the best 2-in-1 bargains around, the ASUS Transformer Book T200 offers an 11.6-inch display as well as a detachable full-size keyboard with a built-in hard drive bay, so you can add extra storage. Powered by a 1.59-GHz quad-core Intel Atom Bay Trail Z3795 processor and 4GB of RAM, the T200 is more than powerful for everyday tasks such as email and document writing, and lasts about six and a half hours on a charge.
If you want a lightweight, stylish laptop that's easy to use and tote around, the new $329 Toshiba Chromebook 2 is a solid choice. Running Chrome OS smoothly, it lets you check emails, stream music, watch videos and browse the Internet on a stunning 1080p, IPS screen that makes it look like you should have paid much more for this Chromebook. The Chromebook 2 also packs an Intel Celeron processor, strong Skullycandy-tuned speakers and will offer nearly 8 hours of battery life on a single charge -- all at a great value.
The 12.5-inch ThinkPad X250 crams the power and versatility of a high-end productivity system into a 2.8-pound laptop with 15+ hours of battery life. Features like a high-res 1,920 x 1,080 display, comfortable keyboard and speedy Intel 5th Generation Core Series CPU help you get work done. A full array of ports, including Ethernet and an SD card reader, means that you don't have to compromise on functionality to gain portability.
If you want to crunch video, look no further than the updated 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display. This laptop combines a gorgeous Retina Display (2,880 x 1,800 pixels) with new, faster flash storage and optional AMD Radeon R9 M370X graphics for serious eye candy and serious power. Apple also added a Force Touch trackpad to offer timesaving gestures and worked on efficiency to squeeze out an extra hour of rated battery life.

Theological justifications for violence were attempted on several fronts in 1994, even while new ground was broken in ecumenical and interfaith relations. Scholarly works on the life of Jesus and on the status of homosexuality in the early church drew attention and created controversy, and the news media acknowledged their deficiencies in covering the world of religion. Several religious bodies changed leaders during the year, and issues of feminism, sexuality, and church-state relations continued to engage faith groups. (For figures on adherents of all religions by continent and on adherents in the U.S., see below.)
Paul Hill, a defrocked minister of the Presbyterian Church in America, had defended the use of violence to stop abortion before he was arrested in July, charged, and convicted of the killing of an abortion doctor and his escort in Pensacola, Fla. The Rev. David C. Trosch, a Roman Catholic priest in Mobile, Ala., promoted the view that murdering doctors who performed abortions was "justifiable homicide." Trosch and Hill were among 25 people signing a declaration justifying the use of lethal force to defend "the lives of unborn children." Other incidents occurred later in the year, but the vast majority of abortion opponents denounced the use of such tactics.
Taslima Nasrin, a writer from Bangladesh, was threatened with death by Muslim extremists and was briefly targeted for arrest for criticizing certain teachings in the Koran. (See BIOGRAPHIES.) Her situation drew attention to the plight of other writers who had run afoul of fundamentalist Muslims, including 48 who had been executed by Iranian authorities since 1979 and 11 murdered by Muslim extremists in Egypt since 1990.
Rabbi Shlomo Goren (see OBITUARIES), former chief rabbi of Israel's Ashkenazic, or Western European, Jewish community, issued a religious ruling in June calling upon Jews to kill Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasir Arafat. High-caste and low-caste Hindus rioted in January in India's Maharashtra state over that state government's decision to rename a university after Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, a cult figure for the lower castes. Two factions of normally pacifist Tibetan Buddhists engaged in a violent clash in New Delhi in March as part of a dispute over the identity of the reincarnation of their leader.
In October some 53 members of the "Order of the Solar Temple," a secretive mystical sect with alleged links to international arms-trafficking and money-laundering operations, were found dead in Switzerland and Quebec.
On the positive side, an international group of 60 religious leaders in Istanbul in February demanded an end to crimes against humanity in Bosnia, Armenia/Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Tajikistan. The participants--from Eastern Orthodox, Jewish, Muslim, and Roman Catholic traditions--rejected "any attempt to corrupt the basic tenets of our faith by means of false interpretation and unchecked nationalism." Leaders of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America issued a declaration denouncing anti-Jewish statements made by Martin Luther, and officials of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Synagogue Council of America urged educators to reject efforts to deny that the Holocaust ever occurred. In July the Vatican and Israel formally initiated diplomatic relations, a step that had been approved in December 1993. The Vatican joined with representatives of some Muslim countries in opposing abortion-rights sections of a document on population issues drafted at a United Nations conference in Cairo in September (see POPULATION AND POPULATION MOVEMENTS: Sidebar), but an interfaith gathering in Washington, D.C., stressed that abortion is "treated in different ways among and within religious communities."
A Vatican document issued in March criticized the fundamentalist approach to biblical interpretation as promoting "a kind of intellectual suicide." But later that month a group of evangelical Protestant and Roman Catholic leaders in the U.S. issued a 25-page statement in which they outlined common convictions and pledged to work together on such causes as opposing abortion and pornography while refraining from attempting to proselytize each other. Several Southern Baptists were among the signers, and the annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention in June formally endorsed Baptist-Catholic dialogues for the first time. The National Council of Churches in Australia was inaugurated in July by 13 churches, marking the first time the Roman Catholic Church had joined such a national ecumenical organization.
The Jesus Seminar, an organization of 74 biblical scholars formed in 1985 to seek the historical Jesus through scholarly means, stirred a controversy with the publication of The Five Gospels: The Search for the Authentic Words of Jesus. The volume concluded that 82% of the sayings attributed to Jesus in the Bible are inauthentic. Other scholarly works that differed with the scriptural accounts of the life of Jesus that drew attention during the year included Jesus: A Revolutionary Biography by John Dominic Crossan (see BIOGRAPHIES), The Lost Gospel by Burton L. Mack, Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time by Marcus J. Borg, and The Religion of Jesus the Jew by Geza Vermes. These works relied heavily on the Book of Q, a collection of sayings and aphorisms attributed to Jesus that the scholars in question believe were used as sources by Matthew and Luke. In June a conference on "Reclaiming the Bible for the Church," held in Northfield, Minn., drew theologians who charged that scholarly groups such as the Jesus Seminar were misinterpreting the Bible by removing it from its setting in the church community. Another academic volume on religion that made news in 1994 was Same-Sex Unions in Premodern Europe by Yale University historian John Boswell, who died of AIDS on December 23. The book asserted that from the 8th to the 18th century, the Catholic Church sanctioned same-sex unions and offered ceremonies for them. Several other scholars disputed Boswell's conclusions, pointing out that most of the rituals he cited were associated with early Eastern Orthodoxy rather than Western Christianity in Rome.
A number of research studies concluded that religion was being inadequately covered by the U.S. news media, an assertion echoed by such prominent broadcast journalists as Bill Moyers and Dan Rather. Signs in 1994 that some corrective steps were being taken included the purchase of the 60-year-old Religious News Service by the larger Newhouse News Service and the hiring of Peggy Wehmeyer by ABC News as the first full-time religious issues correspondent at a major television network.
The Chabad-Lubavitch, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish Hasidic movement based in Brooklyn, N.Y., found itself without a top spiritual leader when Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson died in June without a successor or a procedure for selecting one. (See OBITUARIES.) Howard W. Hunter, an 86-year-old former corporate lawyer, succeeded Ezra Taft Benson as president and prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints after Benson died at the age of 95. (See OBITUARIES.) The Rev. Henry Lyons of St. Petersburg, Fla., was elected president of the eight million-member National Baptist Convention, U.S.A., Inc., which claimed to be the world's largest black organization. The Rev. Jim Henry of Orlando, Fla., was elected president of the 15.4 million-member Southern Baptist Convention although he was not backed by most of the former presidents who had led SBC conservatives to victory since 1979. The Rev. Ishmael Noko of Zimbabwe was elected general secretary of the Lutheran World Federation in June, while Gen. Paul A. Rader, territorial commander for the Salvation Army U.S.A.'s western territory, became the first American to serve as top international leader of the London-based organization.
An ecumenical conference held in Minneapolis, Minn., in November 1993 sparked controversy during 1994 for its feminist theology as featured in worship using the name Sophia, or "Divine Wisdom" as personified in the book of Proverbs, and a ritual that featured milk and honey rather than bread and wine. The "RE-Imagining" conference drew 2,000 participants from 32 denominations and 27 countries and particularly rocked the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), one of its major sponsors. The denomination's General Assembly, meeting in June in Wichita, Kan., passed a resolution supporting efforts to improve and celebrate the status of women while saying the "RE-Imagining" conference went too far theologically.
The Church of England broke with 460 years of Anglican tradition when it ordained 32 women to the priesthood in March. The church allocated $4.5 million in pensions to compensate an estimated 200 male priests who were leaving because they disagreed with the action. The Scottish Episcopal Church voted in June to ordain women priests, leaving the Church in Wales the only Anglican denomination in the U.K. refusing to take the step. The Vatican criticized the Church of England's action, and Pope John Paul II issued an apostolic letter in May declaring that the church "has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the church's faithful." But the Holy See broke with Catholic tradition in April by saying that girls may now assist priests during masses. The Christian Reformed Church voted at its synod in June in Grand Rapids, Mich., not to ratify a move taken a year earlier that would have permitted individual congregations to decide whether to ordain women.
A pastoral letter on sexuality issued by a commission of the Rabbinical Assembly of Conservative Judaism marked the first modern attempt to draft a sexual ethic by any branch of Judaism. The report said premarital sex "can embody a measure of morality" while affirming repeatedly that heterosexual marriage is the only proper setting for sexual relations. The document took no definitive stand on homosexuality. The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) barred clergy from blessing homosexual unions but declined to impose a celibacy requirement on clergy. The House of Bishops of the Episcopal Church decided not to have the denomination's General Convention in Indianapolis, Ind., in late August and early September consider resolutions to ban the blessing of same-sex unions, forbid sex outside marriage, or prohibit the ordination of anyone who had sex outside marriage. The 3.2 million-member Evangelical Lutheran Church in America announced in October that it was extending the time period for discussion of a proposed statement on human sexuality past the denomination's 1995 Churchwide Assembly. A draft of the statement had stirred criticism because of reports that it took permissive stances on masturbation, homosexual unions, and the use of condoms by teenagers to prevent disease. True Love Waits, a Southern Baptist-initiated campaign that encourages teenagers to abstain from sex before marriage, won support from several Protestant and Roman Catholic groups. More than 100,000 pledge cards were displayed outside the Southern Baptist Convention meeting in Orlando, and more than 200,000 were staked to the ground on the Mall in Washington, D.C., in July during a national Youth for Christ gathering.
In a 6-3 ruling the U.S. Supreme Court said the creation of a special school district in New York for children with disabilities in the Satmar Hasidic Jewish sect violated the First Amendment's separation of church and state. The court said creation of the district by the state legislature "singles out a particular religious sect for special treatment." The ruling disappointed several groups that had expected the court to use the case to modify the principles it established in 1971 to determine whether a government action benefiting religion is constitutionally permissible. A California appeals court ruled that the Boy Scouts could not exclude boys who do not believe in God. The 2-1 ruling found that the Orange County Council of the Boy Scouts was a business as defined by state law and therefore could not discriminate on the basis of religion. Another church-state battle ended with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's withdrawing proposed guidelines dealing with religious harassment in the workplace after protests from religious groups and a Senate resolution urging that they be withdrawn.
U.S. Pres. Bill Clinton continued to draw fire from several evangelical Christian groups. The National Religious Broadcasters refused to invite him to its Washington convention in January because of what it called his "policies and positions which are blatantly contrary to scriptural views." The Christian Life Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, of which Clinton was a member, took issue with his health care reforms, including a proposal to finance abortions with tax money. The politically conservative Christian Coalition's opposition to the president's health care agenda was denounced by the ecumenical National Council of Churches, which called the coalition's stance "appalling" and "simply astonishing." In July a newly formed group called the Interfaith Alliance, made up of liberal Protestants, Roman Catholics, and Jews, challenged what it called the "extremist" and "intolerant" tactics of the Religious Right, saying they raised questions about religious liberty. The alliance also pointed out that the Religious Right represented only one segment of the U.S. religious community.

This seems like a really nice addition, I could see this.
Impressions of Hearthstone, the upcoming Warcraft trading card game for iPad
Blizzard announced their first mobile game at PAX East 2013, Hearthstone, which will be a free to play card game for iPad based on their popular Warcraft franchise. Though they were a little gun shy with us as far as recording live gameplay footage goes, I got to play a few rounds and the game's pretty great. There's fully customized deck-building, a lot of familiar game mechanics for those that have played Magic, and plenty of nostalgia for longtime Warcraft fans.
Either player picks a hero, each representing a major class and having their own special ability. There are 9 classes supported right now, which leaves Death Knight and Monk out (for now). Both sides summon minions to attack each other on their turns by playing cards out of their hand and using limited (but ever increasing) resource points. Damage on minions is persistent between turns, so sont worry if you can't kill it in one go.
Games are live multiplayer, so unfortunately no asynchronous play here. My favorite aspect of Hearthstone so far are all of the little touches. For example, you can see which cards your opponent is fiddling with during gameplay. The decorative UI fringe has some light interactivity, such as a launchable catapult, to keep you entertained while your opponent takes their sweet time. There is a time limit on turns though, and you can always heckle them through preprogrammed phrases or live chat if you're playing with an buddy.
The Warcraft guys have dabbled in trading card games in the past, but so far this is looking to be the most promising effort. Keep an eye out for Hearthstone landing sometime this summer.

Impressions of Hearthstone, the upcoming Warcraft trading card game for iPad
I Like the Game "WarCraft", I Like the Game! And now on Mobile! So Nice!
Collectible Card Games are especially well adapted to tablets, gameplay-wise. However I'm really not found of the economic model asking to pay for random pack of cards.
As a old MTG player I can understand investing money on physical cards, you can always resell them later, but virtual stuff ? No way.
I could really use a full version of Warcraft to play on my iPad mini
I'm looking forward to this game. But I'm not looking forward to the micro-transactions to get ahead. I guess when you failed at making money in the real auction house in Diablo 3, you see how it will do in WoW. Here is hoping that we can unlock everything without paying.
Wherever there is "Warcraft" there lies my soul. I am a major player of World of Warcraft for some years now and I have been playing Warcraft the frozen throne for like 5 years now, and I have never been fed up with the games. This seems to be a great addition. But only problem is that I don't have an iPhone and im positive that this game won't land on the Windows Phone 7.8 platform. Which really makes me sad.
i would borrow my friends iPad just to play this game :)
This appears to be great! Not sure I would download.
Would be amazing, warcraft is a great game overall with some deep lore. It will be a direct competitor to MTG duels of planeswalker.
magic is the best card game. I dont see this game really hitting it off
Anyone else disturbed by the fact that you can only chat with another player if they are your 'buddy'? If I wanted to play some kiddie card game where I couldn't talk to the person across the digital table I'd play Free Realms.
I was pretty excited for this, but, not now. I'm sure the max size for the friends list will be 50 people or so. Which means you can forget about adding everyone to your list so you can chat with people you play against.

EAST BEND - In a hostile, playoff-like atmosphere, Forbush exacted revenge against bitter county rival Starmount Friday night.
The Falcons cruised in the second half to pull away from the Rams to capture the basketball edition of the Unifi Bowl, 79-68.
"That was a tough one. That's two teams within miles of each other; punch after punch. I love it. That's the type of environment I want and like, and we played hard," Forbush head coach Jeff Weisner said. "We played too hard at times and got into some foul trouble. We fought through it, and we weathered the storm because they came out punching.
"In the fourth quarter, we made that little run and we were just trying to hold on. We hit our free throws, which hasn't been our forte lately. We hit enough tonight. I'm pleased," he added.
The Rams attacked the basket early and often in the first quarter, grabbing a 20-17 lead after one. But from that point on, Forbush turned up its defensive pressure.
The Falcons battled back and took a 29-26 lead on a three by Hunter Gooden midway through the second. A Gooden jumper with time expiring gave Forbush a 37-32 advantage heading into the locker room.
Starmount played from behind in the second half, keeping the game close. After only scoring 13 points in the third, the Rams poured in 23 points in the final frame to make a burst.
But Forbush matched each score, dropping 42 points in the second half - including 27 in the fourth - to win the back-and-forth rivalry game, 79-68.
Weisner said there were several keys to the Falcons' second-half burst to put the game out of reach.
"I was able to keep starters on the floor a little longer in the second half," he said. "We picked up our intensity on defense in the second half. And we didn't settle for jump shots."
Starmount skipper Rocky Horton said the Rams got away from what was working in the first half - attacking the basket.
"We were doing a good job at attacking the basket in the first half and we kind of got away from that at times. If we do a good job of attacking the basket, we just have to hit our free throws," he explained.
Barrett Hennings powered Forbush to a season-high in points with a game-high 18, while Gooden added 13. Mason Doub and Bennett Winslow recorded 10 points apiece on the night.
In a balanced scoring effort that matched their highest offensive output of the season, James Ashley paced Starmount with 13 points, while Gunner Cass and Kyler Gregory added 10 points apiece. Nathan Williams and Luke Shore recorded nine points each as 10 Rams scored on the night.
Starmount (1-9, 0-5) returns to the court with two road games this week. The Rams head up the mountain to take on Alleghany Tuesday before travelling to North Wilkes Friday night. Forbush (2-7, 2-3) welcome conference leaders Elkin and Wilkes Central to East Bend this week.
"We have a big week. We can't be happy. We can enjoy this for a few days but we have a big week ahead of us," Weisner said.

If you are prone to forgetting your passwords, you're not alone. To make sure we remember all our passwords, many of us take measures that defeat the purpose. These include, as studies have shown, using the same password for everything or writing them down on post-it notes and sticking them to our computer. But such sloppiness makes easy work for evil agents out to steal our data and identities. Now physicists from the US and Germany have devised a safer way of using passwords that takes account of the human need for memorability.

Topologists famously think that a doughnut is the same as a coffee cup because one can be deformed into the other without tearing or cutting. In other words, topology doesn't care about exact measurements of quantities like lengths, angles and areas. Instead, it looks only at the overall shape of an object, considering two objects to be the same as long as you can morph one into the other without breaking it. But how do you work with such a slippery concept? One useful tool is what's called the fundamental group of a shape.

Last week leading researchers in sports technology met at the Royal Academy of Engineering in London to demonstrate just how far their field has come over recent years. The changes they make to athletes' equipment and clothes may only make a tiny difference to their performance, but once they're added up they can mean the difference between gold and silver.
