Simplicity, enhanced
A couple of weekends ago, I fell in love. Head over heels.
With this enchanting church in Ljusterö. (Try getting your tongue around that!)
Yes – this is the same church featured in my previous post…
Magical skies are the only decoration this simple wooden building needs.
The tower is framed with bare branches,
The setting sun lights up the snow,
A feeling of serenity falls.
The world is breathing in harmony.
There is no need to try to create a perfect world.
Just celebrate the one we already have.
For more magic, please visit: Skywatch.

It actually looks kind of spooky to me now. I love your skies and how they make things in your world appear differently!
January 27, 2011 at 14:06
oh, I love , very very much. I adore church photos for some reason, this is wondrous.
January 27, 2011 at 14:14
The glow of the sun on the snow is beautiful. The church is wonderful and the setting very serene.
January 27, 2011 at 14:28
I certainly don't mind seeing more of this church…it is fascinating! The steeple just draws my attention…so original. What is the name of it, so I can google it and find out the history behind it?
I hope you have a great day my dear!!!
January 27, 2011 at 14:33
Lordy, that's a magnificent church!
January 27, 2011 at 15:02
Your photography and your writing are both tonics for the soul. And tonics are very, very welcome here!
January 27, 2011 at 15:25
straight out of a fairy tale!
January 27, 2011 at 15:27
I completely understand your infatuation…the church is ethereal and tranquil.
There is a certain feel of purity over it – the blue and the white in perfect harmony.
Your images are as always breathtaking.;)
January 27, 2011 at 16:04
It makes me think of that magical house (and scene) in Dr. Zhivago. The one that he and Laura live in during the winter. It's one of those movie scenes that is forever stamped in my memory.
January 27, 2011 at 16:05
What is it about churches that bring out the wicked in me?😉
I love the last photo. Those branches look like bats all over the tower😉
January 27, 2011 at 16:10
I can see why you love this building. The architecture it quite lively and the surrounding landscape is equally lovely!
January 27, 2011 at 16:27
the light is perfect, like a halo…these really are gorgeous…love the branches too…
January 27, 2011 at 16:42
It really is like something out of a movie.
January 27, 2011 at 17:04
Ooh, I like the last photo especially!
January 27, 2011 at 17:24
WOW, Fi! I actually got chills looking at the steeple/branches photo. (And not because it's darn cold here!) You have quite an eye for framing a scene.
January 27, 2011 at 17:32
What a gorgeous sky against the simply beautiful church!!!
January 27, 2011 at 18:04
Så otroligt vackert. Himlen är helt underbar. Och kyrkan är ett smycke!
Hoppas du har det bra där uppe i kylan!
January 27, 2011 at 18:22
Such beautiful church,
Great captures Lady Fi.
Happy SWF and have a great weekend ahead.
January 27, 2011 at 18:40
I looked at both posts. That church has a "presence" that is very compelling. The snow, and the subtle colors, and the shape which is misleadingly simple are wonderful.
Great pics. I love them.
January 27, 2011 at 18:53
I love these photos…love your words too…"There is no need to try to create a perfect world.
Just celebrate the one we already have." Perfect thoughts. XX
January 27, 2011 at 19:02
Ah, yes, it needs no further adornment. Very appealing!
January 27, 2011 at 19:58
It sure is a beautiful piece of architecture and your photos as always are enchanting.
January 27, 2011 at 20:01
We have a few splendid churches like that here in the Pacific North West, they always draw me to them — the simplicity of the structure perhaps, but the spiritual essence of the building speaks to my heart.
Your photographs are fabulous, I went back in time looking over as many as possible but will be back — your children the wasp story,funny, and your sweet dog, and the scenery, a beautiful way to spend my morning, now back to my tasks.
January 27, 2011 at 20:18
Beautiful church like I said the last time. I have something with churches, I love them all. Great photo's and skies
January 27, 2011 at 21:29
What a lovely glow around the spire! Breathtaking as usual….
January 27, 2011 at 22:08
That church is incredible, fi – what beautiful photos
January 27, 2011 at 22:14
I can see why you are in love!
January 28, 2011 at 02:49
The church has me captivated, thanks to you. I think it is very grand yet inviting and warm.
January 28, 2011 at 03:44
No one says it better than you, my dear LadyFi! So much beauty, such a delightful church! You shine a light into the night, you have words that lift the soul and it is always a joy to visit your site each week! Thank you for sharing the beauty! Have a wonderful weekend!
January 28, 2011 at 05:48
Such a beautiful church, the snow around has enhanced the scene.
January 28, 2011 at 06:21
ohhh la la! talk about perfect lighting- gorgeous!
January 28, 2011 at 06:58
Is that a little graveyard around it? It looks so perfect, it could be a movie set. How charming.
January 28, 2011 at 07:01
Utrolig vakkert, og spesiellt den hvite kirka i vinterlandskap, virkelig flott. Det ser nesten ut tom om du har brukt en vidvinkel linse her jo, kjempeflott.
God helg til deg fra meg.
January 28, 2011 at 07:04
lovely chursh and skies really "does it"
thanks for your comment, the temperature was -10 ofcourseso I've changed that. Thanks for telling!!
January 28, 2011 at 09:20

January 28, 2011 at 09:33
Seu mundo deliciosamente gelado tem imagens fascinantes!!! E tenhas a certeza de que o belo está nos olhos de quem vê e este seu olhar todo especial é que nos traduz tanta paz e harmonia… Esta graciosa igreja e este um belo cenário são cúmplices por nos trazer uma grande felicidade!
Saudações cariocas!
January 28, 2011 at 09:44
I have no problem getting my tongue around that name, but then I'm a norwegian with much the same language
However, I quite agree: It is a beautiful piece of architecture set in charming surroundings.
January 28, 2011 at 10:04
WOW! It reminds of a fairytale story and one classic novel! I love it!
January 28, 2011 at 10:19
That church and it's snowy surroundings are truly magnificent Fi – Dave
January 28, 2011 at 10:32
does the snow tempt people to sleep in and not go to church?
January 28, 2011 at 10:45
Wonderful shots. I love the different angles used.
January 28, 2011 at 12:06
Beautiful church shots,i love the one with the snow covered bare branches.
January 28, 2011 at 12:07
It just oozes magic and mystery. I love it.
January 28, 2011 at 13:04

Gorgeous church, sky, trees and words. Beautiful post, thank you.
January 28, 2011 at 15:44

Bruce Campbell
Indie Theater Roundup: 7 Movies to See This Week
The third and final German Gems, a single-day showcase for new and vital German-language cinema, arrives Saturday for its farewell appearance at the Castro Theatre. Otherwise, it's a week of birthdays at the city's historic movie palace.
1. Army of Darkness
Where: Castro Theatre, 429 Castro St., 415-621-6120
When: Jan. 13
Horror Movie Roundup: 7 Movies to See for Halloween
Normally this space is reserved for the latest features to arrive at the local indie theaters, but for one week, in the mischievous spirit of Halloween, we're going to mix it up. If you're looking for a good scare, you've come to the right place. Rather than recommend the genre's best-known titles – Night of the Living Dead, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and the original Nightmare on Elm Street, to name three personal favorites – I've tried to compile a list of less obvious shockers, all available at your local video store or via Netflix. Enjoy.
Notes from a Darkened Theater: The Future of Batman and a Jester in King Arthur's Court
Recently, the Sun – the London-based tabloid that seems to pride itself on movie-related misinformation – reported that Eddie Murphy and Shia LaBeouf would be joining Christian Bale and rumored Catwoman Rachel Weisz in Christopher Nolan's next Batman sequel, tentatively titled Gotham.
Though the rumor has been categorically (and convincingly) denied, I believe Murphy could make a fine Riddler, provided he muted his act to suit the dark tone of the material, as Robin Williams did for another Nolan production, Insomnia. But LaBeouf as Robin? Spare us.
Bruce Campbell's Latest B-Movie Bouillabaisse Arrives in the Bay Area
Bruce Campbell isn't opposed to making a fourth installment in the Evil Dead series that has helped secure his reputation as a B-movie superstar. In fact, both he and childhood friend Sam Raimi, who used the Evil Dead movies as a launching pad to the mammoth success he now enjoys as the architect of the Spider-Man franchise, have gone on record as saying that another sequel is tentatively in the works.
Just don't expect Campbell, still boyishly handsome at 50, to leap at the prospect simply because it exists.

The Texas Workforce Commission reported that Central Texas lost just 500 jobs between March 2009 and last month. That's the smallest drop in more than a year.
Last month, that was 64,600 people out of a workforce of 909,600. In part due to people continuing to move to Austin, the workforce has grown from 873,000 in March 2009.

Gate of Pile : Michelin's recommendations
This gate is a reminder of the time when the city was locked every evening and only Catholics were allowed to remain inside the city walls. At the time a drawbridge (still intact and guarded by a statue of St Blaise, the town's patron saint, who carries a plan of the town in his hand) was drawn up and the gates were locked every evening. The circular turret with an outer door is Renaissance in style (1537). The inner gate (1460) is Gothic and also crowned by a statue of the patron saint (more modern).

1. Read this with a light heart.
2. Don't get offended. Remember #1.
3. Yes, I support Hmong women.
4. If my choice and how I react to this 18 Clan Council National Conference is different from yours, it doesn't mean I don't care about how these "Hmong Laws" can affect our community, especially knowing that many people still adhere to them.
5. It is okay to have a little laugh about depressing situations.
Tiffany Vang (the one who brought us this) brought us another article that sent people into a rage in the last two days. Tiffany attended the 1st Hmong 18 National Conference in Minnesota this past weekend and wrote about her experience. It got blasted into the Facebook portal and the reactions were strong, especially from Hmong women.
One particular part of the article didn't sit well with some people and they expressed their anger toward the Council's choice of the number "$600". In her article, Tiffany wrote about one situation in which a member in the audience questioned the Council:
"How did you price it at $600? How did you quantify that amount for the bridal price?" said Bao Lee, one of the only youth participants of the conference.
Surprisingly, the Culture Chair said to her: "If you don't know how we came up with that, then go and ask your mother and father."
Some people read the words "$600" and "bridal price" and assumed that the Council reduced the bridal price to $600.00. The context behind Bao Lee's quote was not fully there so many people reacted negatively to it, not to say people didn't already react negatively toward the bridal price.
CLARIFICATION: The $600 figure in the quotation in the article refers to the ncaug tsiag. Ncaug tsiag is the money to pay for the cow for the bride's funeral once the bride passes away. The bride price is set for $5,000.Voting on the bride price policy, drafted by H18C, has been postponed to a future date, which has not been set.
"…how did H18C quantify bridal prices? How exactly do you find the price? What do you measure?"
I want to know too. This picture was passed around on Facebook and I don't know the origin of it (sorry) but it seem to be from a package of documents that people at the conference received. I do not understand their rules here. Not mention money? What does that mean? I understand the $5,000 highlighted in the box is the bridal price for the woman and everything else are added during the wedding. This is probably the list of expense for the Groom's side. Hey, I don't know. I am learning too!
So to answer Tiffany's question: "what do you measure?" regarding the price of each woman, I came up with this list. This is my list based on the general ideas of characteristics that constitute a "good Hmong girl" and a "bad Hmong girl" (and other ridiculous reasons that CAN be possible. Who knows? Who doesn't like purple sticky rice?). These are not real numbers, I just came up with them from the thin air. DISCLAIMER: DO NOT TAKE THIS AS "FACTS". I don't want anyone angry by pulling things out of context. I think we had enough of that for one day.
I have red hair. Oops, my value just dropped $75.00. I feel like my bridal price tag is like the Stock Market. On my good days, the price goes up. On my bad days, the price goes down. If I didn't greet the guest, the price drop a few dollars. If I cook rice on the slow cooker for a traditional event, my price drop like 10%.
Note: the term "bridal price" and "dowry" are not interchangeable. Even though Asian Dad used the word "dowry" to describe the practice. The issue right now is not with the dowry but the bridal price.

Last week, X-Men fans were promised a new trailer of X-Men: Days Of Future Past. Yesterday, they were given something far more unique.
The new X-men movie teamed up with Empire Magazine, and yesterday they released 25 magazine covers featuring X-Men characters that will appear in the new movie. Some characters are old favorites, but there are also brand new characters included in the mix.
The marketing tactic was much more effective than a trailer, which can sometimes give away too much of the movie. This was a great way to showcase the large number of characters the movie is going to have while still keeping an air of mystery about it all. Nicely done, 20th Century Fox. Everyone is definitely talking about you.
The pictures showcase the characters and their personalities in all their glory. Magneto is giving a harsh glare, Storm is calling to the weather gods, and Wolverine isn't wearing a shirt. Whether that last one is part of Wolverine's personality or Hugh Jackman's, I don't really care. It works for me either way.

MaryAnn Vukelich Christian, retired teacher
MaryAnn Vukelich Christian of Millsboro, born Oct. 4, 1943, in Akron, Ohio, passed away Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2013.
MaryAnn was married to the inseparable love of her life, F. Glenn Christian, for 48 years; he was also her long-term caregiver. MaryAnn is a former teacher, dedicated mother, accomplished golfer and world traveler. She graduated from East High School in Akron in 1961 and attended Oakland University and graduated in 1976. She lived all over the globe, including Indonesia, Liberia, Newport Center, Vermont, and most recently Millsboro.
She loved making people laugh, watching sports, and sewing. She was the most incredible, loving, and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and sister. Her strength and joy of life were contagious. She was an inspiration to countless others battling cancer throughout her 15-year battle with the disease.
She will be sadly missed by her sons Geoffrey (Brian) of Laguna Niguel, Calif. and Scott (Cortney) of Washington, D.C., as well by her six grandchildren, Glenn Michael, Liam, Charlie, Merritt, Grant and Quinn. She is survived by her four sisters, Pearl Horton (Bob) of Cincinnati, Ohio, Natalie Alexander (Archie) of Stowe, Vt., Michalene Payok (Ronnie) of Sterling Heights, Mich., and Debbie Safar (John) of Akron; her brother-in-law Robert Christian (Joanne) of Tallmadge, sister-in-law Anne Christian of Vista, Calif., and lots of nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, Mike and Mary Vukelich.
A viewing and visitation will be held from 5-7 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 7, at tWatson Funeral Home, 211 S. Washington St., Millsboro. Funeral and interment will take place in Akron.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Dartmouth-Hitchcock, Norris Cotton Cancer Center, One Medical Center Drive, Hinman Box 7070, Lebanon, NH 03756-0001, or Delaware Hospice Center, 100 Patriots Way, Milford, DE 19963.

County finance official fired after erroneous W-2s issued
The former interim head of the county's budget and finance division was fired Friday, the same day as county employees got a notice that many county W-2 statements delivered last week are inaccurate.
County officials did not disclose the reason Deputy Chief of Budget and Finance Donna Magni was terminated, but sources say she had a history of making mistakes with county books and that the tax form error was the last straw.
Brian Swetz, who was appointed head of the Budget and Financial Services Division on Jan. 28, sent an email Friday to all county employees saying that many of the W-2s the county issued that day "contain only partial information."
Affected employees include union workers who pay dues, employees who contribute to a Section 457 retirement plan and employees who contribute more than 5 percent to retirement.
Swetz asks the affected employees to indefinitely postpone tax appointments until the W-2s are corrected.
"Budget and Finance is aware of the issues and will provide the corrected W-2 information as soon as possible," Swetz wrote. "The Budget and Financial Services Division has had and will continue to have conversations with both New World Systems and the Internal Revenue Service to rectify these issues in a timely fashion."
The same day Swetz sent out the email, Magni was fired.
Magni was hired as a deputy chief of budget and finance in 2011 at a salary of $40,000, and was named interim head of the division last year.
Insiders said Magni has had "serious payroll issues" over the years and that the latest problem with income being omitted from the W-2s was merely "the last straw."
But Councilman Edd Brominski said he didn't buy that Magni was fired over the W-2s or time clock issues, as he heard.
"Donna Magni was too honest, that was her problem," Brominski said.
He said he thinks Magni's downfall began last October, when she gave a briefing at the Hazleton Area School District Academy of Sciences in Butler Township in which she bluntly told council the county was facing a $15 million shortfall and that it might have to borrow to make payments and payroll.
"I knew that was her kiss of death," Brominski said. "She never made a report after that because she told the truth, and she wasn't supposed to."
Attempts to reach Magni for comment Monday were unsuccessful.

- Conference date: 25–30 September 2008
- Location: Hersonissos, Crete (Greece)
The classic enzyme substratum reaction is described by a nonlinear system of four differential equations. The related initial value problem does not have an explicit solution. Steady‐state assumptions lead to the well known Michaelis‐Menten kinetics. They are approximations of the solutions of the original system of equations. In this work we report about the numeric solution of this system of differential equations. An implicit three‐step Runge‐Kutta method is used. Two completely different parameter triples are calculated with that from the same measurements of the product of an enzyme substratum reaction. Both reproduce the data very well. As a consequence, both for mathematics and for enzyme kinetics further examinations are worthwhile to this topic.

4 Quick Tech Tasks to Do Today
This Week's Top Tech Posts January 27 - 31, 2014
Staying on top of keeping your technology intact and happy can be an overwhelming task with everything else on our busy plates. But tackle a couple of tech tasks each weekend when you have a little extra time, and you and your technology will function well within normal parameters all year long.
Stylish, Practical Printer Storage for Home Office?
Good Questions
Expert Q & A: Thom Brown, Inkologist, on Printing Facts, Figures & Technology
Thom Brown is a supplies technology expert within the marketing services organization for HP's Printing and Personal Systems Group (PPS), or you can call him an "inkologist", as noted by his humorous name tag up above. Who better to ask about the science and manufacturing behind the inkjet printer and cartridge system...
3 Ways to Save On Inkjet Printing
Challenge: Create an Automated Instagram Printer for Your Party
The concept: party guests tag Instagram photos with a hashtag unique to the event, a Web-connected printer automatically prints them out, and voila!—photographic party favors are collected at the end of the night. The hosts, as well, get to keep a physical reminder of the night that was. How fun, I thought, to wake up in the morning after a house party to more than just scattered chairs and empty bottles!
How To Use a Laser Printer to Transpose Photos Onto Furniture
Here's a unique way to put a laser printer to use beyond printing out TPS reports, Peter. Reddit user jmsndrnkr and his brother put their carpentry skills to work, assembling handsome all-wood coffee tables, and then embellished the tabletops with photographs transposed using large format laser printer printouts!
How Long Until We Have 3D Printers at Home?
3D printing is big news. Dita Von Teese wore a printed dress last week and Jay Leno is using a 3D printer to make replacement car parts. Some people are even using these high tech printers to make action figures of themselves. But how long before this technology crosses over from toys of the rich into the realm of ordinary folks like ourselves?
You Thought Gasoline is Expensive? Printer Ink is Over $5,500 Per Liter
If you're shopping and comparing price per unit, forget about gasoline, milk, and other daily supplies. Consider how much you're spending on printer ink. Nine MSN presents an impressive infographic that illustrates the cost of printer ink at over $5,500 per liter. That's absolutely insane! Read on for the rest of the infographic to see how other products stack up in price.
5 Home Devices You Can (and Maybe Should) Hide Away
There's not really many tech devices worthy of keeping out in plain sight. Most devices we use for utility are still clunky and lacking in elegance in the aesthetic department. It's also often difficult to match tech with decor — especially when you're often limited to black, white, or silver. Luckily we can simply hide a lot of these things away, here are some ways to do it.
Battle for the Best:
Printer Shopping Experience
The printer in my home office has decided it no longer wants to work with me. Sometimes it works, but mostly it doesn't. So on a recent weekend I went shopping for a new printer at four different stores. Would an office supply store have better options than Target? Does Best Buy beat out Staples for selection? Check out my findings after the jump…

Thursday Evening headlines from WMTW News 8UPDATED 6:54 PM EDT Oct 24, 2013
WMTW News 8's Steve Minich and Tracy Sabol have the latest headlines for Thursday evening.Video Transcript
GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME BACK TO NEWS-8 NOW, I'M TRACY SABOL. AND, I'M STEVE MINICH. GOVERNOR PAUL LEPAGE NOW ADMITS HE "MISPOKE" WHEN HE WAS RECORDED AT AN EVENT, SAYING THAT "47-PERCENT OF ABLE-BODIED MAINERS DO NOT WORK." HE SAYS WHAT HE MEANT.. IS THAT MORE THAN 48- PERCENT OF MAINERS RECEIVE TANF, SNAP BENEFITS OR SOME OTHER KIND OF GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE. ACCORDING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, THOSE FIGURES ARE CLOSER TO 43-PERCENT. áBUTá THAT DOESN'T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THAT A PERSON MAY RECEIVE áMULTIPLEá TYPES OF ASSISTANCE, OR PEOPLE'S AGES, OR THEIR ABILITY TO WORK. "What I'm talking about is we're an aging society, we have a very large population not working. We don't allow our kids to learn to work until they're 16 which I think is another crime against society." EARLIER THIS WEEK, THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE TOLD US THAT HE GOT THE 47-PERCENT FIGURE FROM A CONSERVATIVE MAINE HERITAGE POLICY CENTER REPORT. WE LOOKED INTO THAT CLAIM AND FOUND THAT THE GOVERNOR'S MATH SIMPLY DIDN'T ADD UP. THE CITY OF SACO IS LOOKING TO LURE THE PORTLAND PIRATES AWAY FROM THE COLISEE AND THE CUMBERLAND COUNTY CIVIC CENTER. SOME PEOPLE ARE HOPING THE TEAM WILL BUILD A NEW MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR FACILITY THERE. THE CITY GAVE THE MAINE HOCKEY GROUP THE GREEN LIGHT TO PURCHASE THE LAND FOR 105 THOUSAND DOLLARS. IT'S A PRELIMINARY STEP BUT IT HAS RESIDENTS HOPEFUL. AT GORHAM BIKE AND SKI, ONE EMPLOYEE TELLS W- M-T-W NEWS 8 THE FOOT TRAFFIC WOULD HELP LOCAL BUSINESSES AND BRING MORE ENTERTAINMENT TO THE AREA.

IN VIDEO: In interview, head of UN's Gaza probe says he'll be impartial in Gaza probe, admits there's a lot of double standards in UN, notes Hamas rocket might not fall under jurisdiction.
Benjamin Tobias
Latest Update: 08.13.14, 18:29 / Israel News
Benjamin Tobias
Prof. William Schabas, who will head the UN Human Rights Council's inquiry commission into the Gaza fighting, spoke with Ynet and said he is not against Israel, but rather a supporter.
Speaking to Ynet's sister print publication Yedioth Aharonoth, Prof. William Schabas said
"It would be inappropriate for me to answer a question like that," he replies politely when he asked whether Israel has committed war crimes. He gives the same diplomatic answer when asked if Hamas is a terror organization, and again when he was asked for his opinion on the Israeli leadership.
While Israel believes the rockets launched from Gaza at Israel could fall under the commission's jurisdiction, Schabas is quick to lower such expectations.
"I cannot tell you what the commission is going to do in terms of interpreting its mandate," he says, "because I'm only one member and I haven't had a meeting with the other commissioners. We will have to agree on the interpretation."
While he declines to respond to the question of whether Hamas is a terrorist organization, he reiterates that he intends to investigate the fighting in Gaza in as neutral and objective a manner as possible.
"What someone who sits in the commission or a judge has to be able to do is to put these things behind them and start fresh. And this is of course what I intend to do."
"The fact that there's no inquiry into Russia and into the United States is obviously explained by the fact that those countries dominate not only the Security Council, but also have a huge amount of political influence in bodies like the human rights council. We unfortunately live with that as a reality in the world situation," he says.
Schabas is urging the Netanyahu government to cooperate with the commission, claiming that "it's in Israel's best interests to give its version of events."
He warns that a decision by Israel not to cooperate, as it also decided in the case of the Goldstone inquiry, could backfire.
"If it doesn't do so, what will unfortunately happen is a one-sided picture of events."

Television | The Philanthropist explores the heart and mind of charity
Amidst a television field dominated by tacky reality shows, NBC's scripted drama The Philanthropist debuted on June 24 to surprisingly good numbers, winning its time slot.
Based on real-life billionaire Bob Sager, James Purefoy plays Teddy Rist, a handsome rapscallion of a CEO who finds that wine, women, and riches aren't enough for him anymore. In an effort to add more meaning to his life, he turns his resources and talents to helping people in need in far-flung parts of the world.
The exotic settings, not to mention Purefoy's James Bondish quality, keep the show from becoming a didactic bore. And while Rist and those around him frequently allude to his "bacchanalian ways," at least in the premiere, he is never shown acting them out.
The Philanthropist also deals with one of the greatest obstacles to helping poor countries: their own corrupt governments. Rist finds that a never-ending line of officials to bribe means he has to take a hands-on approach to his do-gooding. Simply writing checks is not enough to get vaccines to the people who need them.
At the same time, the show deftly examines the heart of charity, drawing a line between those who give to help others and those who give to get accolades. "This is about you,' one aid worker tells Rist, "playing the role of the charming rich businessman who travels the globe getting his hands just dirty enough to go back home and tell his American friends how meaningful his life is compared to theirs.'
So far, the biggest downside to the show is how its creators have been pushing it as an "Obama drama," telling the press that whereas Jack Bauer represents "the anger and frustration of the Bush years" Teddy Rist represents "a sense of hope and the thrill of possibilities in the Obama era." Someone might want to tell them that churches were working to get clean water, food, and medicine-not to mention everlasting hope-to people who need them long before the current president took office.

West Nile Virus: Test for Diagnosis
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the first test for use as an aid in the clinical laboratory diagnosis of West Nile virus infection. The West Nile Virus IgM Capture ELISA is intended for use in patients with clinical symptoms consistent with viral encephalitis/meningitis.
"Emerging infectious diseases such as West Nile virus present a challenge to the public health community," said Tommy G. Thompson, Secretary of Health and Human Services. "When industry and government collaborate closely to meet a public health need, the resulting new technology will strengthen our joint efforts to confront diseases earlier and should lower rates of infection."
The new test works by detecting the levels of a particular type of antibody, IgM, to the disease in a patient's serum. IgM antibodies can be detected within the first few days of the onset of illness and can assist in the diagnosis of these patients.
" The rapid review and approval of this blood test, which uses antibody levels to identify persons who were recently exposed to West Nile virus, reflects FDA's commitment to making safe and effective medical products available promptly," said FDA Commissioner Mark B. McClellan, M.D.,Ph.D. "This test provides a useful tool to combat the important public health problem of West Nile virus infection, just in time for the start of the West Nile season."
The PanBio West Nile IgM assay was evaluated using over 1000 patient sera, which were tested at four different clinical sites. The test correctly identified antibody in up to 90 to 99% of West Nile virus disease cases. Because detection of antibody is not always specific in patients with acute viral infections, this test is considered presumptive and should be confirmed by more specific testing.

BOSTON Republicans gathered in Worcester Wednesday night at a fundraiser for Senate candidate Gabriel Gomez, while earlier in the day Democrats turned out to hear first lady Michelle Obama speak at a fundraiser for Ed Markey.
The 275 guests who attended Markey's event at the Taj Hotel in the Back Bay raised $600,000, according to the campaign. One of them was Joanna Broyer, of Brookline.
"I'm worried," Broyer said, "because Gomez looks good on paper, as long as you don't look below one level of paper. No matter what he says I think he will vote with the majority of Republicans and Markey will not. Markey will stand for gun control and for social services, and the things the government needs to do to help people."
Shirley Partol, of Brookline, had similar concerns.
"And I think Gomez possibly can be a threat, and we've been surprised by people like Scott Brown before," Partol said.
Jim Haber, of Wayland, expressed confidence in Markey.
"But it's going to get uglier and there's going to be a lot of outside money," Haber predicted.
From the Taj, where rooms start at $350 a night, to Anthony's Barber Shop, off a back parking lot in Worcester; that's where Gomez, the man who worries some Democrats, was taking questions.
One woman asked whether he would support a federal law that would prohibit workplace discrimination against gays and lesbians.
In response, Gomez told a story about his time at the Naval Academy. Before he graduated, one of his best friends, No. 3 in the class, was called into the commandant's office and was asked if he was gay. He stuck by the honor code, that you cannot lie, and he was kicked out two days later with no diploma.
"Didn't get his commission, had to pay back part of his education, and I would have been proud to serve with this young man, anywhere, anyhow, anyplace," Gomez said. "He was a good friend of mine, and is still a very good friend, a big supporter right now. He had proved himself more capable than any of us, quite frankly, and I don't think there should be any kind of discrimination anywhere, under any kind of means, whether it's race, gender, religion, or political belief."
Gomez seemed unfazed by all the money raised at the Markey event.
"I hope he raises $600,000 from Michelle Obama," Gomez said. "That'd be great. A lot of people would love to go see Mrs. Obama. That sounds awesome."
But then again, in a state that loves the Obamas, maybe that was just the political answer a Republican candidate should give.

In front of a thunderous crowd of almost 50,000 fans and on a steamy hot night, the USA started well, getting a shot from Kristine Lilly just 15 seconds into the match that forced a dive from Brazilian goalkeeper Andreia. Boxx had a header off a free kick that she directed on net in the sixth minute, but once again Andreia saved it with a dive.
The first 20 minutes of the game saw clattering fouls from both teams, leading to free kicks in dangerous spots. Brazil forced some early pressure as well, hitting a free kick in the seventh minute that was deflected by U.S. goalkeeper Briana Scurry, off a Brazilian player and out of bounds.
The USA gifted Brazil its first goal in the 20th minute, coming off a corner kick that was spun to the near post. With no Brazilian players close to getting a touch on it, it skidded off the turf as midfielder Leslie Osborne dove to clear it, but instead inadvertently headed the ball into her own net from close range.
The second Brazil goal came seven minutes later on a piece of magical dribbling from Brazilian star Marta, who won a ball from defender Stephanie Lopez down the right flank. She dribbled inside and darted free, shooting between closing U.S. defenders Kate Markgraf and Cat Whitehill. Scurry got a hand on the ball, but couldnt turn it outside the right post.
The USA fought back, as Lilly bent a free kick from outside the penalty box on the right side that almost flew into the upper left corner of the goal and barely missed two crashing U.S. players.
Then disaster struck in stoppage time of the first half.
Boxx had received an early yellow card in the 15th minute for upending a Brazilian player and was caught chasing a Brazilian counter attack in the 46th minute. Brazilian forward Cristiane bumped Boxx from behind, got tangled in her legs and both went down in a heap. In a harsh decision by referee Nicole Petignat, she whistled the foul, pulled out a second yellow, then red and sent Boxx to the locker room.
U.S. head coach Greg Ryan inserted Carli Lloyd for Lopez at halftime as the USA went to a 3-4-2 formation, but against the talented Brazilians and playing a woman down, the Americans faced a daunting task to get back in the game.
It was a very difficult game for us tonight, said Ryan. I want to congratulate my players
I am very proud of the effort that they put in tonight. The game didnt go our way, but Im very proud of all of our young women who put in the last two-to-three years of their commitment, time, dedication, to come out and give their best tonight. To say that, this game is one game, and its over now, and were moving on to prepare for our game against Norway. (More Quotes)
With the 2-0 lead and up a player, Brazil possessed the ball and created counter attacks. After midfielder Maycon had two close calls in the 50th and 52nd minutes, skidding shots just past the post, it seemed that Brazil might get another, and they did, scoring the third goal in the 56th minute.
Renata Costa got free down the left flank on the counter attack and played a square pass to a wide open Cristiane in the middle of the penalty area. She slotted into the left corner from 12 yards out, giving Scurry no chance.
I dont think we were surprised, we knew what they were going to do, said Lilly. We didnt start off the way we wanted to. They were beating us to the ball most of the time and I think they had the momentum going their way. The first goal was a fluke, then Marta scored a good goal, and then we are down a man and we are just trying to keep our heads above water. The team fought to the end and Brazil was the better team today.
After giving up the two first half goals and losing Boxx, the Americans tried to mount some offense in the second half, but the energetic and extremely quick Brazilian side was up to the task.
Lilly had a strike at goal in the 63rd minute as Lori Chalupny toe-poked a ball free after Abby Wambach nodded a free kick down with her head, but she shot straight at the Brazilian keeper. Lloyd did get a chance from distance in 54th, but fired wide left. Andreia also had to punch away a high shot from Wambach in the 69th minute.
The end of the game belonged to Marta, who put on a dazzling display of dribbling and scored the capper in the 80th minute. She took a chipped pass from Renata Costa in the left side of the penalty box with her back to the goal, flicked the bouncing ball around substitute Tina Ellertson to the inside, ran around her to the outside, then cut inside to evade Whitehill before hitting her shot into the lower left corner. Once again Scurry got a glove to it, but couldnt turn it away. The two goals gave Marta a tournament-leading seven in the 2007 FIFA Womens World Cup.
Markgraf had to leave the game in the 74th minute after injuring her ankle a few minutes earlier, allowing defender Marian Dalmy to make her Womens World Cup debut.
It was the first loss in regulation time for the U.S. women in the past 51 games and first-ever loss under Ryan. The four-goal deficit also marked the biggest margin of defeat in U.S. history.

Findings mixed in Iron Range lung cancer study
MOUNTAIN IRON, Minn. (AP) — Taconite industry workers face an increased risk of contracting a rare form of lung cancer and the risk increases the longer they remain on the job, University of Minnesota researchers announced Friday, but said they can't say for certain if dust from the state's iron mining and processing operations causes it.
The researchers traveled to the Iron Range of northeastern Minnesota to announce the findings of their $4.9 million, five-year study into possible links between taconite dust and mesothelioma, a rare cancer of the lung lining caused by exposure to airborne asbestos fibers that has taken the lives of 82 taconite workers over the years.
Previously released research confirmed a 300 percent higher rate of mesothelioma on the Range than the general population in Minnesota.
"Our goal was to begin answering questions around how mining and taconite processing have impacted the health of Minnesotans. These studies have started to uncover those answers," John Finnegan, dean of the university's School of Public Health, said in a statement.
Asbestos fibers fall into a family of "elongated mineral particles" that are present within dust from taconite operations. Taconite, a low grade of iron ore, can contain asbestos. But the types of EMPs generated by iron mining had not previously been linked to an increased risk of mesothelioma.
"Researchers did identify a potential link between cumulative exposure to workplace EMPs and mesothelioma in taconite workers. However, the link is not felt to be certain," the researchers said in a statement. "As a result, the researchers cannot say with assuredness that dust from taconite operations causes mesothelioma. Further data analysis in this area will continue in the coming months."
Jeff Mandel, one of the principal researchers, said they know that the risk of contracting mesothelioma is higher among people who've worked longer in the industry. Unfortunately, he said, researchers have "minimal information" on their exposure to other sources of asbestos that they might have encountered outside of iron ore processing.
"It is something that we want to continue to look at, if at all possible," he said.
But he also said it's clear that the industry shouldn't wait for more answers.
"No matter how you look at it, this is dusty work, and it demands that workers and employers take responsibility to safeguard themselves," Mandel told the meeting where they present the study results.
The Taconite Workers Health Study found that death rates in the industry are also higher than state averages for more common kinds of lung cancer and for heart disease, which suggests that other health conditions are also at work — and lifestyle appears to be an important factor.
The death rates were higher than expected across the Range from all three diseases and were not concentrated in any particular location.
The study confirmed that air quality in Iron Range communities is better than in most parts of Minnesota in terms of particulates. It also found that occupational exposures to taconite dust are generally within safe limits. And it found that spouses of taconite workers aren't at any higher risk of contracting dust-related lung diseases than the general public.
"Although working in the taconite industry increases a person's lifetime risk of mesothelioma, the increase equates to a small risk of actually developing the disease. Mesothelioma is still a very rare disease," the statement said.

Over the next few days, to bolster RBIs third series of stepsthe first was on July 15to keep the rupee under check, chances are the government will raise import duties on what are termed luxury products, iPhones or iPads for instance. Whats not clear, however, is how this is expected to help and, if so, by how much. For one, what can be considered consumer imports dont really add up to much. For FY13, electronic goods added up to $31.5 billion and if you add, at the outside, other commodities of $20 billion, that takes you to a little over 10% of all imports. How much of a compression an import duty hike will make is not clearhike it on other imports, and the industrial slowdown will get even worse. Indias current financing gap is in the region of $20-25 billion for FY14, shaving a couple of billion from electronic goods isnt going to help much. In any case, imports of electronics productsthey total around 6.5% of all importshave been falling thanks to the erosion in the value of the rupee. In FY13, they fell 4% while overall imports grew 0.5% and in the first quarter of FY14, monthly imports of electronic goods have been constant at around $2.5 billion; in other words, imports of such goods are already falling anyway. And while compressing electronic goods imports is one thing, the exact impact will depend on whether the imports are iPads for final consumption or intermediates for Indian producersin the latter case, the precarious industrial growth will further suffer.
The larger problem is not so much with high imports, though that is what the governments focus has been for many monthsgold imports were not taking place because individuals wanted to consume gold, it was because the existing investment options were losing their value. While there is little doubt the current account deficit would be better were there no gold imports, the larger problem has been the export contraction for a very long period of time. In FY13, for instance, exports fell 2% and in the first quarter of FY14 exports have slowed even more, to around $72 billion as compared to $82 billion in the previous quarter. Focusing on gold and electronic imports is all very well, but the larger focus has to be on getting exports back on track by fixing supply-side issuewhile it is important to get the ban

HUNTERSVILLE – Discussion on proclaiming the Huntersville Town Jail as a historic landmark drew mixed opinions in the town board's April 7 meeting, but the jail still got its designation.
Commissioners voted unanimously to approve the jail, built in the 1930s and used until the 1960s, as a landmark. That status gives the property a better chance to secure grants and fundraisers to improve the building, which is in need of some repair.
The 30-foot-wide, 21-foot-deep, two-room brick jail needs major roof repairs. The roof is covered with a tarp, according to Principal Planner Zac Gordon. Some roof framing and millwork are also damaged.
The jail is located along Huntersville-Concord Road.
While commissioners all agreed on the historic landmark designation, they were divided as to why the jail deserved such a title.
"I see this as a direct link to where we were 80 years ago, especially with the police force," Commissioner Rob Kidwell said. "What we have now is awesome, especially if you're on the good side. To see where we are now and to have this still, makes me proud inside."
Olde Huntersville Heritage Society President Rodney Conklin also spoke in favor of the designation. Conklin's organization is one of the groups that will help raise money to repair the jail. No town money was approved for jail repair at the meeting.
"We've collected over 200 signatures from people supporting (naming the jail a landmark)," Conklin said. "There's a huge interest in this. We look forward to working with the town to raise funds for this."
Commissioners Jeff Neely and Melinda Bales also complimented the historical significance of designating the jail as a landmark.
Not everyone thought the old town jail was indicative of just growth.
"I view that not as a symbol of where Huntersville has come," Commissioner Sarah McAulay said. "Education (as a reason) was a better wagon to ride."
The board also made another historic designation to a local building.
Commissioners renamed the former police department at 102 Gilead Road the Robert B. Blythe Building, in honor of the town attorney. Blythe has worked for the town for 50 years and counting.

At Arizona's border morgue, bodies keep coming
TUCSON, Ariz. The body of Ildefonso Martinez arrived on a Friday night last April as John Doe, Case No. 12-01000. He wore black Nike shoes, a Perry Ellis belt, jeans with a 34-inch waist, a Casio watch.
For medical examiners at the Pima County morgue, his was an unusual case. Not in how he died - making the same arduous journey that has claimed thousands of illegal immigrants - but rather because he was identified so quickly.
The death of migrants crossing the border has long been a tragic consequence of illegal immigration and, many say, the increase in U.S. border enforcement. For some, the problem is a powerful motivator in pushing Congress to act this year on immigration reform. But critics say proposals offered so far call for more enforcement with few specifics on how to save lives.
"The language coming out is alarmingly more of the same," said Kat Rodriguez of Coalicion de Derechos Humanos in Tucson, who gathers information on missing migrants from family and friends to give to medical examiners trying to identify the dead.
Thousands more Border Patrol agents, hundreds of miles of fencing, and cameras, sensors and aircraft have made it more difficult to enter the U.S. illegally, prompting smugglers to guide migrants to remote deserts. People walk up to a week in debilitating heat, often with enough bottled water and canned tuna to last only days.
While illegal crossings have dropped dramatically in past years, hundreds of bodies are still found annually on the border. Border agents conduct more than 1,000 rescues each year, and humanitarian groups have placed water stations along the boundary in hope of helping.
In the last 15 years, at least 5,513 migrants have been found dead along the 1,954-mile border with Mexico, including 463 in fiscal year 2012, the Border Patrol reports.
The Tucson sector - which since 2001 has accounted for more migrant deaths than any other Border Patrol sector - located 177 bodies in the last fiscal year. Texas' Rio Grande Valley saw the greatest jump in bodies found: 150 last year compared to 66 in 2011.
In that state, migrants cross the Rio Grande, catch a ride north and then hike for days on vast ranches in Brooks County to avoid a highway checkpoint. The county has no medical examiner and does not test DNA of deceased migrants, who are buried in unnamed graves at a cemetery in the town of Falfurrias.
The situation is similar to what Pima County authorities faced when Arizona became the busiest corridor for illegal crossings more than a decade ago.
"We had no idea this storm was on the horizon," said Bruce Anderson, a forensic anthropologist in Tucson.
At the Pima County Forensic Science Center on The University of Arizona Medical Center campus, file cabinets hold dossiers on more than 700 unidentified corpses discovered since the late 1990s. Many bodies were too decomposed to identify. Others carried false identification or no identification.
Coolers for 262 corpses and refrigerated trucks on call with room for another 45 give the nation's 30th-largest city one of the country's largest morgues.
"Nobody has this problem. Nobody," said Dr. Gregory Hess, Pima County medical examiner. His office rules on more than 2,000 deaths a year by murder, suicide and other causes, but migrants pose the biggest challenge because they so often cannot be identified.
Since 2001, the office has examined the bodies of 2,067 border crossers, the vast majority of them Mexican men. Men like Ildefonso Martinez.
Martinez, 39, was born and raised in a farming village in the central Mexican state of San Luis Potosi. After paying a smuggler some $200 to get him across the border, he settled in the San Diego area in the early 1990s and worked whatever odd jobs he could find.

Islam V Europe
Has dhimmi justice returned to Cordoba after centuries? The Muslims taunt Christians by praying in the cathedral, attack security guards and police with a knife and crutches and the judge just dismisses all of the evidence against them, saying the testimony is contradictory, by which he must mean that the Muslims denied it.
The Fifth Criminal Court of Córdoba has acquitted the eight Austrian Muslim tourists who created an altercation inside the Mezquita-Catedral on Holy Wednesday in 2010 for praying inside the place of worship according to the Muslim rite.
The judgement considered it proved that the eight tourists visited various Spanish cities in March 2010 on a cultural trip organised by the Association of Young Muslims of Austria. Specifically, they arrived in Córdoba on 31 March, coinciding with Holy Wednesday. In the afternoon the eight accused as well as the rest of the group visited the Mezquita-Catedral and once inside, in an area not expressly dedicated to the Catholic religion, one of them -Z. E. A., started praying according to the Muslim rite, some of his colleagues following him spontaneously. On noticing them, an assistant with the building's security service approached the group and asked them to stop praying. After a negative response, another security guard appeared who "angrily" made the same request to the leader of the group, at which moment a struggle began between him and various members of the group who wanted Z.E.A. to stop praying.

Meade Advanced Coma Free (ACF) question
Posted 08 November 2012 - 03:40 AM
Posted 08 November 2012 - 10:21 AM
a simple answer is YES the AFC optics are simply better then the standard optics.. no question about that fact at all..
The question you have to ask yourself is the AFC optics worth the extra money because on axis there is no difference.. the AFC opticx only do there thing at the edges of the FOV and I personally do not spend much time looking at the edges...
I own a CPC1100 .. mainly because I found the Lx90 12 inch scopes to be way-way under mounted IF I wanted to buy a 12 it would have to have been the Lx200 .. MONEY then became a big factor
The lx90 is fine with the 10 inch OTA BUT NOT with the 12..
Just my opinion

BTW, before you make the commitment to buy your scope ... read the recent CN posts on the quality control issues that have plagued Meade since the move to their new Mexican factory:

The 12" LX90 is not for everyone. I would be happy to have the LX200, but couldn't afford the extra $$$. I find the 12" LX90 to be...adequate...as far as the mount goes. You do need to make sure you don't hang on the focuser or bump the eyepiece when observing which is a good idea with any scope.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 10:14 AM
Is there anything about the traditional SC that makes it actually preferable to the ACF other than a slightly lower price?
The standard SCT has a 4" secondary mirror (33.3% central obstruction), while the ACF has a larger 4.6" secondary mirror (38.6% central obstruction)... (obstructions expressed as a percentage of the aperture's diameter, not area). This could be a factor when observing low contrast planetary features, however any differences would be very subtle ... but, that is what planetary observing is all about! It would be equivalent to the views between unobstructed telescopes of 7.9" (for the SCT) and 7.4" (for the ACF).

Two soldiers were wounded Saturday as IDF forces continued to comb southern Gaza for 2nd. Lt. Hadar Goldin who was captured in Gaza Friday morning. One of the soldiers was lightly wounded by a mortar
and another suffered moderate wounds by snipper fire in Gaza.
The senior IDF official admitted that in light of the attack's nature, the IDF "still do not have a working assumption of whether he was dead or not.
Regarding the IDF's focus on southern Gaza, where the Goldin was captured, the official said that "In Rafah there is a large area in which our efforts are concentrated."
The fiercest battles took place near the site of Friday's attack and purported abduction, near Rafah, about 3 kilometers inside the strip and close to the borders with Israel and Egypt. Officials have reported that dozens of houses have been damaged or destroyed in airstrikes.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — An individual with knowledge of negotiations to sell the Los Angeles Clippers says attorneys and bankers are reviewing multiple bids and have not yet selected a winning bidder.
The individual, who was not authorized to speak publicly, told The Associated Press on Thursday that "there has been no decision...they are still negotiating bids, plural."
The person spoke amid media reports a buyer had been selected.
Shelly Sterling is negotiating the sale after her husband, Donald Sterling, made racist remarks that were made public. She was looking at three serious bids earlier Thursday ranging from $1 billion to $2 billion by former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, Guggenheim Partners and a group including former NBA All-Star Grant Hill.

Lovely sunrise and great water conditions. 82F so not wetsuit legal.They announced that they moved our wave up but then cancelled that because people were not ready? Shame I would have enjoyed the earlier start, anything to get out of the heat.Swim - lovely - enjoyed the swim, navigation and everything else went very well. I did not push it as I was really enjoying the water.T1 - uneventful.Ride - after 20 miles I lost one of my aerobar pads, so I had to cross my forearms as that made things more comfortable. so my left hand was shifting the right hand shifter. 5 miles in I also heard a Co2 cartridge come out of my rear rack, despite using Elmer glue, I quickly screwed the other one out so I would eat least have something. I also lost my Co2 nozzle.... I only carry one bottle so I don't use the bottle cages but I am wondering how other people fix there stuff on the back without losing things. Rest of ride was fine, except a bit uncomfortable as you just sit the same way for 56 miles.....T2 - uneventful, socks on and off on the run, messed up my timekeepingRun - ok so I was dreading the run, I vowed after Eman 2010 not to do this race as I don't like running in the heat. So when I started the run I just thought to myself, it's cooler then last year, I have trained and there are other people out there dealing with far worse problems.....to my surprise I actually enjoyed the run a lot, I walked every water stop pouring water all over myself, drinking gatorade and then HERE IS THE NEW DISCOVERY I would place one cup of ice (in cup) inside my tri top (lower back on spine) and one cup each on more or less either side of my belly button. I swear my core tempt felt like 55-65 degrees it was AWESOME!!!!!So I managed to encourage a lot of people and actually have some fun on the run!.Nutrition secrets;Saw Cara Zaller in Dec - changed my diet, actually managed to lose some fat over the Winter and come out leaner, with more energy.Breakfast: 2 boiled eggs, sliced turkey, cherry tomatoes, 2 Gluten Free Home Baked Super Muffins - yum. 1 Zico coconut water, cup of coffeeBike: 1 banana, 1 hammer bar (gluten free), 1 Lara bar (gluten free) 2 Cliff gels (really did not need it but just wanted to make sure), 24oz Accelerade plus one bottle gatorade (courtesy of the race)Run: 1 Cliff gelPost race: 2 oranges, watermelon, 2 of my muffins, almonds, water and sports drinkThanks for all the support crews out there!

Football Gameday - Wake Forest vs. NC State
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Wake Forest will make its BB&T Field season debut and open Atlantic Coast Conference play when the Demon Deacons host longtime rival NC State on Saturday afternoon in Winston-Salem. The game is set to kick off at 3:30 p.m. and will be televised on Fox Sports Carolinas. The game can also be heard on the Wake Forest Sports Network From IMG College.
The Deacons are coming off a heartbreaking 36-29 overtime loss at Syracuse on Thursday, Sept. 1. Wake Forest led by 15 points with 11 minutes remaining in the game, but the Deacons could not maintain the lead after hitting a field goal to go up 29-14 at the 11:02 mark of the fourth quarter.
Deacon starting quarterback Tanner Price left the game just before the field goal with a knee injury, which proved to be a momentum changer. Price was 18-of-31 for 289 yards and three touchdowns before leaving.
Chris Givens caught seven passes for a career-high 170 yards and two touchdowns. Michael Campanaro set new career-highs with seven catches for 80 yards and a touchdown.
Jimmy Newman tied a career high with three field goals, though his miss from 33 yards in the first quarter snapped his school-record streak of 12 consecutive field goals made.
NC State is coming off a 43-21 defeat of FCS foe Liberty last Saturday in Raleigh. The Wolfpack defense forced seven turnovers for the first time since 1983 to tie a school record and returned one for a touchdown. Halfbacks Curtis Underwood and James Washington combined to rush for 181 yards and three touchdowns to pace the offense for NC State.
