text: 7 things you should know before buying car insurance Here are seven things you should know about car insurance. By Mary Bitti 2011-08-22 00:00:00 "Many people pay between $500 and $1,500 more than they have to for car insurance each year," says Lee Romanov, an auto insurance expert and consumer advocate in Toronto. "The industry is regulated and provincial governments have to approve rate increases, but insurers can attach whatever price they want to the policy depending on the profile of their target customers." This means your age and postal code determine your likelihood of filing a claim – at least in the eyes of the insurer. Here, Romanov and Nancy Lee Martin, manager of consumer relations at the Insurance Bureau of Canada, show you how to keep costs down and ensure you get what you need. 1. Shop around There are more than 100 insurance companies in Canada competing for your business. "Get as many quotes as you can," says Martin. Romanov created an online rating guide called Insurance Hotline, with a list of profiles and rates from more than 30 insurance companies. 2. One insurer is the way to go If you aren't already using one insurer for your home and vehicles and putting all vehicles/drivers onto one policy, you're missing out on a multi-policy, multi-vehicle discount. This could save you anywhere from five to 15 per cent, says Martin. 3. Ask questions If you do go with a broker, ask him if he is quoting you the insurer's lowest price, because he isn't obligated to, says Romanov. Also ask about the cancellation rules. Every policy has different rules and it's important to know what they are, otherwise an accident or a couple of tickets could lead to you being dropped. 4. Know your needs and wants Ask yourself what you really need, then find out what companies are offering. One of the ways insurance companies differentiate themselves is through the "extras" they offer, such as 24-hour claim service, first accident forgiveness, disappearing deductibles, and claim service guarantees.

The group has landed
What happened to Saturday? A small group of ELCA bishops, spouses and churchwide organization staffers boarded a jet in Chicago in the dark evening hours of Friday only to deplane some 12 hours later in the gathering black of Saturday night in Amman, Jordan.
The group was to link up later with a few other bishops as well as Presiding Bishops Mark S. Hanson of the ELCA and Susan C. Johnson of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada for a two-plus day visit to Jordan before hooking up with a majority of the bishops from both nations in Jerusalem.
The trip is part of a long planned journey to Jordan, Israel and the West Bank as part of the 2005 ELCA "Churchwide Strategy for Engagement in Israel and Palestine." Its goal is to build relationships with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land , foster awareness of the issues there and increase advocacy for a just peace in the region.
The group that flew direct from Chicago was greeted at the entrance of Hotel Jerusalem in downtown Amman by ELCJHL Bishop Munib A. Younan, his wife, daughter and a welcomed cold glass of sweet and unusually thick orange juice.
Fighting at the Gaza Strip along the Mediterranean Sea cast an air of uncertainty over the visit. Bishops decided earlier this week to proceed, as the trip had been delayed in the past. With reports of Israeli ground troops entering the Gaza Strip late Saturday, it is unknown what other security measures may be put in place that could change the agenda of the visit later in the week to Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Ramallah, the largest city on the West Bank.
But first, sleep. Because at 6 a.m. Sunday, suffering from jet lag or not, the bishops and others get on the bus for a quick visit to the spectacular Roman ruins of Petra before worship and a reception in Amman later in the day.

Horizontal Silo Safety
A horizontal silo is a storage system where forage is piled in relatively low (i.e., 6-20 feet), long piles that might or might not be contained by sidewalls (Tyson, 2006).
These types of silos might also be referred to as trenches, pits, piles or stacks. Most horizontal silos that are built above ground level with construction-grade material for sides are called bunker silos.
Figure 1. Bunker silos might have concrete or wooden post walls
Horizontal silos that are cut into the earth with only the earth serving as sides are normally called trench silos. If forage is dumped on the ground or other hard surface into piles with no structural walls defining the silage mass, it is usually referenced as a drive-over pile silo.
The size of bunkers, trenches and piles can vary according to the size of the farm operation, and they all have some hazards in common. Even so, the most serious hazards seem associated with bunker silos because of the raised sidewalls. For example, recent injury reports involving bunker silos include worker entanglement with a silage defacer (New York Department of Health, 2005) and a worker buried by collapsed silage at the face of a bunker silo (The Express, Lock Haven, PA, 2007).
Harvest Pre-Inspection
Bunker silos should be inspected prior to harvest. Cracked sidewalls should be repaired prior to use as these structural elements could fail if left un-repaired.
Figure 2. A cracked bunker sidewall needs repair.
Sighting rails should be installed and maintained to give equipment operators a visual clue while backing, unloading, and packing forage into the bunker.
Figure 3. Sighting rails at the top of the bunker silo provide a visual clue while unloading silage.
These rails are not intended to prevent an overturning tractor or truck from toppling over the side of the bunker, but they might serve as fall protection for workers as they move around the sidewalls while placing plastic covering and weights over the silage to seal it.
Cracked concrete or pavement, or rutted approaches to the bunker, trench or pile site should be repaired before use to maintain traction and stability for trucks and tractors.
Packing in Horizontal Silos
Bunkers, trenches and piles must be filled quickly and packed tightly to exclude oxygen from the ensiled crop to ensure efficient fermentation. Tractor and truck rollover becomes a safety concern as the forage is unloaded and packed. To help achieve the required amount of compaction a "progressive wedge" of forage is formed during filling of the silo.
Figure 4. Spreading the progressive wedge.
The wedge provides a safe slope for the unloading and packing operations. A progressive wedge with a maximum 3 to 1 slope minimizes the risk of roll-over. This results in a rise of 1 foot in every 3 foot of horizontal run.
Figure 5. Bunker silo showing progressive wedge and dump truck operation.
It is also important to maintain the 3 to 1 slope on both sides of drive-over piles.
Tractor overturns account for about 50% of the approximate 200 tractor-related fatalities reported annually. Tractors equipped with ROPS, plus the use of the seat belt, provides an estimated 99% effectiveness in preventing operators from being seriously injured or killed from a tractor rollover. Use only ROPS and seat belt equipped tractors to pack forage in bunker, trench and pile silos.
Large scale beef and dairy operations that utilize horizontal silos increasingly use dump trucks for hauling forage to the silo. Dump trucks can also overturn during unloading, and should have good seat and shoulder belts to protect the operator. As the bed is raised for unloading, it is important that the load center of gravity stay between the frame rails of the truck frame. A dump truck becomes less stable as its bed is raised, particularly when the surface is less than perfectly flat, such as it is during unloading operations. A tire rut or depression from a previous load, low tires on one side of the truck, uneven loading of the truck, or even a wind gust increases the risk of a truck tipping over during unloading, especially when two or more of these hazards combine at a single point in time.
After a horizontal silo is filled, the forage is covered with one or two sheets of plastic and weights. This often requires a worker to stand and/or work on a sidewall in bunker silos. If the sidewall is several feet above the ground, fall protection should be provided. Fall protection standards generally recommend that anytime a worker is on a walking/working surface (horizontal and vertical) with an unprotected side or edge which is 6 feet (1.8 m) or more above a lower level, he or she should be protected from falling by the use of guardrails or other fall protection systems. The sighting rails used to guide unloading and packing operations could serve as a guardrail as long as the rails are constructed to standard handrail specifications. The use of a standard handrail and working only from inside the handrail removes the need to consider more costly and complicated systems of fall protection.
A standard handrail for a bunker silo sidewall would consist of a 42-inch top rail and an intermediate rail midway between the top rail and work surface. The top rail must be able to withstand 200 lbs of force applied in any direction. Post placement varies from 6 to 8 feet depending upon the railing material. For wood railings, the posts shall be of at least 2-inch by 4-inch stock spaced not to exceed 6 feet; the top and intermediate rails shall be of at least 2-inch by 4-inch stock. If the top rail is made of two right-angle pieces of 1-inch by 4-inch stock, posts may be spaced on 8-foot centers, with a 2-inch by 4-inch intermediate rail. For pipe railings, posts and top and intermediate railings shall be at least 1.5-inch nominal diameter with posts spaced not more than 8 feet on centers. For structural steel railings, posts and top and intermediate rails shall be of 2-inch by 2-inch by 3/8-inch angles or other metal shapes of equivalent bending strength with posts spaced not more than 8 feet on centers. More details on guardrail systems can be found by looking at OSHA Standard 1910.123.
Feedout Safety
Bunker, trench and drive-over pile safety continues through the feedout process. A serious hazard that can result from feed out operations is an undercutting of the silage face. This occurs when silage loading machines, such as industrial front-end loaders, tractor front-end loaders, or even skid-steers, are not able to reach the top of the silage face during silage loading. As a result, in large horizontal silos, the silage face can develop an overhang that might collapse at any time. Smaller horizontal silos might not have this same risk since the silage face can be sloped back toward the pile by removing the top section first thus avoiding an overhang.
Figure 6. A silage face showing the removal of silage from the lower face leaving the top section as an overhang subject to collapse.
Silage defacers can eliminate the hazard of undercutting a silage face. A silage defacer consists of a hydraulic powered set of rotating knives mounted in an open framework. The defacer can be mounted on a skid steer or a material handler's boom to extend to the top of the silage face for knocking the silage loose at the top of the face
Figure 7. A defacer attachment on a skid steer or material handler boom helps break up silage over the entire face of the horizontal silo for safe removal of the silage.
This helps prevent undercutting the silage face and creating the overhang hazard. A defacer is, by its functional nature, a potentially hazardous machine because of the exposed blades.
Figure 8. The exposed blades of a silage defacer pose serious entanglement and cutting hazards.
Do not approach the defacer blade area while the machine is in operation.
Even smooth silage faces (i.e., faces with no undercutting or overhang) have collapsed. In one case, a chunk of frozen silage in a bunker silo broke loose allowing the entire face to collapse, burying a worker under tons of silage. Collapsing silage faces are a particular hazard for a farmer or nutritionist collecting silage samples. When gathering silage for analysis, use an end loader to scoop up silage and move it away from the silage face. Additionally, no one should stand at the silage face if it exceeds their height.
Figure 9. Stay away from silage face.
Finally, keep people and equipment back from the top edge of the silage face to prevent collapsing it from the top.
Hired Labor Regulations
OSHA Regulations
Farm operations that employ 11 or more workers fall under some standards of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). The two standards that are most applicable to horizontal silo operations are Rollover Protective Structures (ROPS) for Tractors Used in Agricultural Operations (1928.51) and Guarding of Farm Field Equipment, Farmstead Equipment, and Cotton Gins (1928.57). The ROPS standard requires that employees use only tractors equipped with a ROPS and seat belt. The machinery guarding standard requires that PTO shafts and other moving parts of machinery and equipment be properly guarded. Both standards require annual training of employees, beginning with their initial work assignment. See Fact Sheets E-9 and E-10 (www.agsafety.psu.edu) for more specifics about these standards. To access the standards themselves type "OSHA agricultural standards" in your web browser and follow appropriate links.
Hired Youth Workers
Youth employment in agriculture is governed by US Department of Labor regulations. Youth aged 14 and 15 can be employed on farms but must have received a certificate of training under the Hazardous Occupations Training in Agriculture (AgHO) regulations if they are to be hired to operate tractors or powered farm equipment. The National Safe Tractor and Machinery Operation Program is a means of obtaining the necessary training. The AgHO regulations do not apply to youth age 16 and above or to children working on their own family farm. Youth under age 14 are generally prohibited from employment in agriculture. Regardless of exclusions and exemptions, all youth should receive safety training before working on any farm.
Custom Operators
Custom operators are often employed by silage producers to reduce machinery investment, lower labor requirements, and to ease cash flow problems. Custom operators might not be familiar with terrain and field conditions or the silage storage area or equipment. They might bring additional workers to the farm. Be sure that the custom operator has inspected your fields, roads and lanes, and silage storage facilities. The farm operator has the duty to provide a safe place of work to contractors and to warn of any hazards which cannot be eliminated. If the custom operator has employees, ask for proof of worker's compensation and insurance coverage. The custom operator should provide safety training to their employees as well.
Safe Operating Suggestions
Injuries, fatalities and equipment damage in horizontal silos are preventable. To reduce these risks, follow these safety practices:
- Only mature, experienced people should be permitted to operate equipment associated with filling, packing and feeding out of bunker, trench and pile silos.
- Use only tractors equipped with ROPS and seat belts when packing silage; require seat belt use.
- Use low-clearance, wide front-end tractors.
- Additional tractor weights improves stability.
- Back the packing tractor up sloped forage surfaces when possible.
- Front-wheel and front wheel-assist drive tractors provide extra traction and stability for towing and packing.
- Back dump trucks up the forage slope rather than along the slope to reduce dump bed angle and the risk of overturn as the dump bed is raised. See Fact Sheet E-44 Farm Dump Truck and Trailer Safety.
- Never fill a bunker or trench silo higher than the sides of the retaining wall.
- Sighting rails should be fitted to bunker silo walls. Sighting rails indicate the location of the walls to the driver unloading the chopped forage.
- Standard guardrails increase protection for workers who cover and uncover the silage surface.
- Know where other workers are located. Use standard agricultural hand signals for communications.
Children and Bystanders
Extra persons should be kept out of the way of forage harvesting activities, especially children and non-working bystanders. Extra people standing nearby to loud, powerful equipment only add distractions to the many responsibilities of the equipment operator. Children or bystanders might end up in a position where the machine operator cannot see them. Neither children nor bystanders are likely to appreciate the potential for silage cave-ins and entrapment.
Bunker, trench and drive-over pile silos are as common a sight on today's farms as are upright silos. While some serious hazards associated with upright silos are eliminated (i.e., silo gas), horizontal silos introduce their own set of hazards. Tractor and dump truck overturn hazards are common, falls from bunker sidewalls while covering and uncovering the silage are a risk, and the feedout of silage can result in silage cave-in and entrapment. And there is an always present risk of entanglement in rotating machinery parts with silage defacers. Hazards and risk have not been eliminated just because the upright silo has been replaced with a horizontal storage system.

Cat Dual-Fuel Marine Engine
Designed with same footprint features, system interfaces; option for offshore, cargo segments
Caterpillar is introducing a dual-fuel engine for marine applications. The company said the MaK M 34 DF has the same onboard footprint as the existing M 32 C diesel engine series and is suitable for a wide range of vessels.
The M 34 DF has a power rating of 500 kW per cylinder at 720 and 750 r/min in diesel and gas modes, respectively, with a bore of 340 mm and stroke of 460. The engine will be capable of running on natural gas as an alternative to marine diesel oil, providing vessels with flexibility without major changes to the engine room or exhaust gas system, Cat said.
The company said that although it was designed for unlimited operation on LNG, marine diesel oil and heavy fuel oil, the M 46 DF will reach industry-leading efficiency in gas mode.
The new engine will go through customer acceptance tests and classification approvals in Rostock, Germany. Following trials, the M 34 DF will be sold through Caterpillar's MaK dealer network. Initial deliveries are expected in October 2014.

Hank Williams Jr. is a country singer-songwriter and musician. His musical style is often considered a blend of Southern rock, blues, and traditional country. He is the son of country music singer Hank Williams and the father of Hank Williams III, Holly Williams, Hilary Williams, Samuel Williams, and Katie Williams.
Hank Williams Jr. began his career by following in his famed father's footsteps, singing his father's songs and imitating his father's style. Williams's own style slowly evolved as he struggled to find his own voice and place within the country music industry. This trend was interrupted by a near-fatal fall off the side of Ajax Mountain in Montana on August 8, 1975. After an extended recovery, he challenged the country music establishment with a blend of country, rock, and blues. Williams enjoyed much success in the 1980s, from which he earned considerable recognition and popularity both inside and outside the country music industry.
As a multi-instrumentalist, Hank Williams Jr.'s repertoire of skills include guitar, bass guitar, upright bass, steel guitar, banjo, dobro, piano, keyboards, harmonica, fiddle, and drums.
From 1989 until October 2011, a version of his song "All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight" was used as the opening for broadcasts of Monday Night Football.

In this article the author refutes the claims about Pope Shenouda's dictatorship.
Some dissenters, especially priests who were given sentences by the Holy Synod, claim that Pope Shenouda's administration of the church is dictatorial and that he does not believe in democracy and opposition. The author, however, argues that the pope is firm and not dictatorial and that this firmness is necessary because of the responsibilities he has.The author further refutes these claims pointing out that the church is governed through the Holy Synod which represents the clergy. According to the eighth and ninth articles of the bylaw issued in 1985, the Holy Synod is the supreme legislative and judiciary authority in the church; it is responsible for making laws and handling prosecutions. The tenth article stipulates that it is the authority responsible for interpreting the principles of faith. Article 43, in addition, states that any decision is not approved by the Holy Synod unless 75 percent of the present members agree on it.The author wonders how the pope is accused of being a dictator while he has only one vote in the Holy Synod and in order for a decision to be taken it should be approved by a majority of 75 percent. Furthermore, any decision taken by the Holy Synod is binding for the pope even if it runs against his opinion [Editor: which is extremely unlikely to happen. Pope Shenouda enjoys a tremendous authority that not many bishops dare to challenge, the great majority of Bishops has been consecrated by Pope Shenouda. It is thus a fact that Pope Shenouda's opinion carries much more weight then what Nabīl Lūqā Bībāwī suggests here. Compare this article to the next one in this issue that shows how far Pope Shenouda's authority reaches] .The author stresses that the church is ruled through a democratic institution [Editor: in theory yes] and asks the slanderers to stop making false allegations against the pope and the church.

A photograph of the Korean peninsula from space at night recently made national news, showing bright lights blanketing South Korea while North Korea was dark. It was meant to show that although North Korea has the bomb, it is still an impoverished, undeveloped nation.
But the photo told another story as well. To the Evening Standard in Britain, it was "a picture of environmental madness" that showed "how profligate and polluting South Korea and the rest of the Westernized world have become."
We illuminate our world by millions and millions of lights at night, whether it is natural gas burning in oil wells or industrial fisheries using lights to attract squid and other ocean life. The view from space is a picture of waste and exploitation, a visual record of the squandering of our natural capital and ecosystems.
Light pouring into the sky serves no purpose except as a symbol of vanity, like spotlights at a Westwood premiere. Besides, the wasted energy almost surely contributes to air pollution, global warming or other ecological disruption. Light pollution also obscures the view of the night sky, causing visual blight; and disrupts the natural rhythms of some species.
These disruptions are real. Night migrating birds attracted to lights collide with structures. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that 4 million to 5 million birds die this way every year. Hatchling sea turtles attracted to light end up desiccated or eaten near their natal beaches.
Light is a drug, and our 24-hour society abuses it. Humans produce the hormone melatonin in the dark. Without darkness, production is diminished. This partially explains the greater incidence of breast cancer in women who work the night shift and never sleep in complete darkness.
Lest we point fingers elsewhere, UCLA itself generates light pollution — more and more as pathway lighting is "upgraded" and new buildings fill in open spaces. A decade ago, a pair of great horned owls reliably nested around the Sculpture Garden and on a ledge of the Public Policy building.
But ever since an earthquake retrofit that included a large buttress lit up like a Roman candle, the owls have left. Their return seems unlikely, given the recent increase in all-night illumination in the trees and the glowing canopy of the Broad Art Center. Too much light allows owls' prey to escape.
Light pollution can be remedied. Extinguishing lights or shielding them properly eliminates or minimizes their negative side effects, besides contributing to massive progress in combating the production of greenhouse gases. In ecologically sensitive areas, lights should be avoided or other measures taken to reduce adverse impacts. Solving this problem gives an immediate financial, aesthetic and environmental payoff.
Longcore is a lecturer in geography and in the Institute of the Environment. Rich has a J.D. and M.A. in geography from UCLA. They are co-editors of a recent book, "Ecological Consequences of Artificial Night Lighting."

The Iowa Hawkeyes have built a storied history since they began playing collegiate basketball in 1902. The Hawkeyes were very successful in the 1950s as they reached the Final Four twice and became the runner-up once in 1956. Iowa also won two regular season titles during this decade. Iowa continued their success on the basketball court during the 1980s and 1990s as 15 of their 21 NCAA Tournament appearances came in this 20-year span including their third Final Four appearance that occurred in 1980. The Hawkeyes two conference tournament titles took place in 2001 and 2006, but they have not been a regular season champion since 1979. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for Iowa Hawkeyes basketball tickets.
The Hawkeyes play their home games at Carver–Hawkeye Arena, located in Iowa City, Iowa. With a capacity over 15,000 screaming fans, Carver–Hawkeye Arena is the place to be for all Iowa Hawkeyes basketball games. The Iowa Hawkeyes home bench is on the Carver-Hawkeye Arena sideline in front of section M. Carver-Hawkeye Arena parking information is covered in our Hawkeye event guide.
Iowa State Cyclones
The Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series, which awards points for athletic victories over the other university, is a staple in this in-state rivalry. The rivalry in basketball dates back to 1909 and has been played over 60 times and annually since 1983. With bragging rights on the line and both basketball programs improving, this rivalry has continued to get better in recent seasons and will only continue to grow in the future.
The Iowa Hawkeyes have made the NCAA Tournament over 20 times in their history and have advanced to the Final Four three times with the most recent occurring in 1980. The Hawkeyes have won the Big Ten Tournament twice in the years 2001 and 2006.
All doors to Carver–Hawkeye Arena open 90 minutes prior to tip-off.
General public parking is available in the Finkbine Commuter lot (Lot 65) and the Kinnick Stadium lot (Lot 43). All parking ramps near Carver-Hawkeye Arena are also available on game days. Parking space for the disabled is located in the west end of the Dental lot (Lot 40) across the street from the south entrance of Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

1000Memories Focuses on Dealing with Death in the Digital Age
When Rudy Adler's friend died last year, he was suddenly and painfully reminded of the shortcomings of social networks—Facebook and Twitter focus on connections between living people, but the deceased are stuck in what Adler describes as a "viral loop." Users have complained of receiving invitations to "reconnect" with dead friends, or of getting a pre-arranged virtual birthday greeting from beyond the grave. "After our friend died, we all went to his Facebook page to share pictures and stories. But after a few weeks, the page was memorialized and his wall was shut down. All of those stories disappeared." To memorialize a page, a friend or family member must fill out a form and submit the request to Facebook. Upon verification, the deceased user disappears from news feeds and will cease showing up in Facebook's suggestions, and the memorialized page becomes accessible only to confirmed friends.
Adler, 29, together with friends Brett Huneycutt and Jonathan Good, recognized an opportunity. They quit their jobs—Adler at ad agency Wieden + Kennedy in Portland, working on campaigns for Levi's and Nike; Huneycutt and Good at consulting giant McKinsey & Company—and convened in San Francisco in February 2009, moving into a house in the Mission.

On Sunday morning in Las Vegas, the point spread on the Miami-Illinois NCAA Tournament game kept growing. Don't be surprised if it happens again Thursday, before the Hurricanes' Sweet 16 showdown against Marquette (7:15 p.m. ET, CBS).
Against Illinois in the Round of 32, the Hurricanes opened as low as 5.5-point favorites. They were laying as many as 8.5 by the late afternoon tip-off. The line move was all due to public money, which, of course, went up in smoke when Miami failed to cover a in a four-point win.
"The public thinks Miami of Florida is a top-five team," said LVH SuperBook oddsmaker Ed Salmons, a 20-year industry veteran who's considered by his peers to be one of the sharpest in the business. "If you look through all the experts and percentage guys, they just don't think a lot of Miami. But the public, every time Miami plays, they're all over them. If there's no resistance from wise guys, (Thursday's line) will get back to 6."
The point spread dropped from Miami -6 to -5 on Tuesday night, after it was announced that Hurricanes leading rebounder Reggie Johnson would miss Thursday's game with a leg injury.
(update: the line, sure enough, has creeped up to 5.5 at a number of shops).
Johnson, a 6-10, 292-pound senior center, is a weapon off the bench. He missed nine games during the regular season. Two of Miami's five losses came in games he missed. The Hurricanes went 5-3 against the spread without Johnson (the November game versus Jacksonville was not lined).
His availability for the rest of the tournament is uncertain, although some reports have suggested he could be available if Miami makes the Final Four. If the Hurricanes make it that far, they'll have a chance at gambling history.
The 2007-08 North Carolina Tar Heels covered the spread in 24 games, the most of any team during a single season since at least 1997, according to Covers.com.
Miami (21-10 ATS) has the best ATS record of any team left in the field with more than 10 lined games. (Florida Gulf Coast is 9-0 against the spread the past two seasons).
Odds & Ends
--Arizona vs. Ohio State (-3.5, 134): Wildcats coach Sean Miller improved to 13-2-1 against the spread in NCAA Tournament games as a head coach with his team's win over Harvard ....The total opened as low as 132 at the LVH, but has settled at 134. Arizona is 11-19-1 over/under this season. Ohio State is 13-18-1 over/under this season.
--Salmons said that the early sharp action was minimal on Thursday's games. "These lines are so tight right now, it's hard to find an edge," he explained.
There has been very little line movement in Syracuse-Indiana and La Salle-Wichita State as of Wednesday. Indiana is a 5.5-point favorite, with a total of 135.5. Wichita State was a 4-point favorite, up a tick from the 3.5 opener, with a total of 135.

Selby beats Walker in Hong Kong
Posted: 28.11.12
Daryl Selby and Alister Walker, two of the closest-ranked players battling against each other in the first round of the Cathay Pacific Sun Hung Kai Financial Hong Kong Open, duly produced the longest match on day one of the sixth PSA World Series squash event of the year.
Englishman Selby, the world No10 and highest-ranked unseeded player in the draw, dropped the first game to former England team-mate Walker, the world No12 who now represents Botswana, the country of his birth.
But Selby turned things round to open up a 2/1 lead before Walker fought back to draw level. And in the dramatic decider, it was the higher-ranked Englishman who ultimately prevailed, winning 7-11, 11-8, 11-8, 8-11, 11-8 in 95 minutes.
"Brutal match in Hong Kong first round against my good friend @alisterWALKER," tweeted 30-year-old Selby later. "Proper battle and lucky to win it in the end. #toughdraw."
Selby led a trio of Englishmen through to the last 16 round. Fellow Essex man Peter Barker, the sixth seed, had to fight back from a game down to overcome Egyptian qualifier Karim Abdel Gawad 7-11, 11-6, 11-5, 11-6.
Later, defending champion James Willstrop, the world number one from Leeds, also had to recover from the loss of the first game before seeing off England team-mate Adrian Grant 5-11, 11-8, 11-3, 11-8 in 73 minutes.

More News From B'way
November 27, 2007 - Phyllis Sigal
Looks like "Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas" got another happy piece of news.
After a judge last week granted permission for the show to go on — despite the strike by the stagehands union — those who owned the theater appealed the decision. However, on Sunday, the owners told producers that the show could remain open for its scheduled run through the holidays.
Bad news for the other Broadway shows affected by the strike by the stagehands union, however, when talks ended after 13 hours of negotiations with no deal. No new talks are scheduled at this point.
It was Nov. 10 when the union struck, just one day after opening night for "The Grinch," which features homegrown actor Aaron Galligan-Stierle as Papa Who.
In an email to Aaron, I asked him if he wanted to comment on the situation. His response:
"Sorry it has taken me awhile to get back to you ... between the strike, the holidays and eight shows in the last two days, it has been pretty crazy.
"As for the strike, the cast and crew couldn't be happier about our ability to return to work. We love doing our show very much and are so pleased to be able to share it with our incredibly supportive audiences, especially the kids. 'Re-opening' was a wonderful experience ... we certainly can't beat the publicity we got out of this ... I think we had more news crews and photographers there for our 're-opening' than our real opening night.
"We also sincerely hope that the dispute between the producers and the rest of Broadway is rapidly resolved. Many of our friends and family are being affected by the continued strike and we hope for a quick resolution."
I agree. And for all the visitors to the city hoping to catch a show on Broadway, I hope for their sake the strike is resolved soon. The New York Times is quoted as saying the strike has cost the city $2 million a day in lost revenues, according to the city's comptroller's office. Sounds like for the sake of the city, the strike needs to be settled, as well.

Interference and Diffraction
- O.2(1) - Projection of Grating Spectra
- O.2(2) - Different Gases Spectrum
- O.2(3) - Newton's Ring Apparatus
- O.2(4) - Intereference Model
- O.2(5) - Single and Double Slit Diffraction
- O.2(6) - Other Diffraction Patterns
- O.2(7) - Diffraction Grating Model
- O.2(8) - Young's Double Slit Apparatus
- O.2(9) - Microwave Optics
O.2(1) - Projection of Grating Spectra
Interference patterns produced by a diffraction grating are projected on a screen. The transmission-type diffraction grating flints on a stand just in front of a HeNe laser, and is brightly projected on the lecture room screen. This demonstration slide has three 9 mm x 16 mm gratings with 100, 300, and 600 lines per mm. They are mounted between glass plates in a 3 cm x 9 cm slide card. One can also shine the laser beam on a compact disk as an example of reflection-type diffraction grating.
O.2(2) - Different Gases Spectrum
Spectral lines of 5 different gases and for white light are identified by the students with the help of individual transmission-type grating glasses. There are discharge tubes of: He, Xe, Ne, Ar and Hg. Each tube is about 30 cm long.
O.2(3) - Newton's Ring Apparatus
This apparatus consists of a flat plate and a convex lens of long focus, both 8.5 cm in diameter, mounted in brass frames fitted with three knurled compression screws. The circular interference fringes can be projected on a screen using a HeNe laser beam. The projection can be made large enough to be seen by the whole class. An interference pattern can be viewed off screen using other light sources.
One can also show that this interference pattern appears when a simple glass plate and a watch glass are set together and slightly pressed against each other. The same pattern appears but it is not as stable since as you move the contact point the pattern moves and distorts. A HeNe laser beam is also used as a light source.
O.2(4) - Interference Model
This demonstration model gives a large graphic display of how interference occurs. Wave fronts are represented by concentric circles drawn on transparent plastic plates that fit in the overhead projector. As the centers of the two plates are moved relative to one another, the interference patterns appear.
O.2(5) - Single and Double Slit Diffraction
A HeNe laser is used as the light source in the projection of diffraction patterns due to single slit and double slit slides. The single slit slide has four different widths, and the double slit has four different spacing. With the double slit slide on, the single slit diffraction pattern can be recovered by using an opaque edge to carefully block one of the slits.
O.2(6) - Other Diffraction Patterns
Slides with pinholes, gratings, different widths wires, and straight edges, circular and square apertures are available. One can also show the complementary diffraction patterns of a pinhole and an opaque disk. The diffraction pattern of an opaque disk demonstrates the Poison's spot. The diffraction patterns are projected on a screen using a HeNe laser as light source (the same set-up used in the previous demonstration).
O.2(7) - Diffraction Grating Model
This model demonstrates the principles of constructive and destructive interference as produced by the diffraction grating. The grating corresponds to a spacing of 6000 lines/cm illuminated by sodium light at wavelength 5892 Angstroms.
Dimensions: width: 56 cm, height: 40.5 cm.
O.2(8) - Young's Double Slit Apparatus
This model graphically demonstrates the wave phenomena of double slit interference. Model has a variable slit width of 4.5 micron and 2.25 micron. A phase adjuster allows the incident wave front of one slit to be thrown out of phase with respect to the other slit to illustrate the interference pattern.
Dimensions: width: 40 cm height: 65 cm.
O.2 (9) Microwave Optics
In this experiment a microwave transmitter and receiver are used to study the properties of electromagnetic waves. Both receiver and transmitter are connected to a control box, which allows for transmitter signal amplification and for receiving signal options. The receiver signal can be observed through a voltmeter or as an auditory signal. The auditory signal is recommended for large classrooms where voltmeter observance may not be possible. The demonstration contains multiple setups that display straight-line wave propagation, penetration of a fiberboard screen, screening and absorption, reflection, refraction through a paraffin prism, diffraction, interference, and polarization. A variety of metal screen sizes are also included to give versatility in diffraction and interference pattern.
