In chronological years, Apple may be 36 years old, but it's still a rebellious teenager inside. The controversy over the company's "apology" to Samsung could lead one to believe Apple spends most of its spare time chillin' with its homies, spray-painting graffiti, and shoplifting cigarettes.
Weeks after it was ordered by a U.K. court to state on its website and in newspaper ads that Samsung did not, in fact, infringe on iPad designs, Apple instead buried a six-paragraph statement inside its U.K. site that was anything but apologetic. Four of the six graphs went on to talk about court judgments in other countries that were favorable to Apple.
[ Read between the lines in "Apple to Samsung: Sorry you're not as cool as we are." | For a humorous take on the tech industry's shenanigans, subscribe to Robert X. Cringely's Notes from the Underground newsletter. | Get the latest insight on the tech news that matters from InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog. ]
Worse, Apple used JavaScript to make sure the link to that statement was always below the bottom of the screen, no matter what size screen or device the page was viewed on. If you didn't scroll down, you'd never see it.
With teenagers, this is known as "soft refusal." They say they're about to take care of what you've now told them at least 10 times to do -- in a minute, OK? But you know they're going to mess around until you finally give up and stop hassling them.
Unfortunately for Apple, the U.K. court system doesn't give up so easy. A three-judge court of appeal decided Apple's behavior was so lacking in integrity (read: juvenile) that it ordered the company to pay all of Samsung's legal fees on an "indemnity basis." That means Apple is on the hook for everything, from yellow notepads and pencils to lattes for the legal assistants, almost entirely at the discretion of Samsung.
The panel, whose decision was made early this month but finally published last Friday, had several other choice statements about Apple's behavior, none of it complimentary. According to Groklaw, the group called Apple's first pseudo-apology "false and misleading," "illegitimate," and "calculated to produce mass confusion." Essentially, Apple not only failed to apologize as ordered, it lied outright in its published statement. The panel's conclusion:
The reality is that wherever Apple has sued on this registered design or its counterpart, it has ultimately failed. It may or may not have other intellectual property rights which are infringed. Indeed the same may be true the other way round for in some countries Samsung are suing Apple. But none of that has got anything to do with the registered design asserted by Apple in Europe. Apple's additions to the ordered notice clearly muddied the water and the message obviously intended to be conveyed by it.
Apple did, finally, remove that JavaScript code. And it replaced its petulant six-paragraph statement with a terse (though also not apologetic) acknowledgement of the court's ruling. As I write this, Apple's U.K. home page now contains the following text in a relatively large font:
On 25 October 2012, Apple Inc. published a statement on its UK website in relation to Samsung's Galaxy tablet computers. That statement was inaccurate and did not comply with the order of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales. The correct statement is at Samsung/Apple UK judgement.

The Featherstone lab is currently involved in research in the following fields:
1.Effects of Lasers on Dental Hard Tissues
The overall objective of this research is to provide fundamental information about the effects of laser light on dental hard tissues (enamel and dentin of the teeth) in order to develop means of using lasers to a) detect early decay, b) treat teeth and modify the mineral for the prevention of the progression of dental decay.
2.Management of Dental Decay by Risk Assessment
These studies involve the application of microbiological and chemical assays of saliva as part of a risk assessment scheme to enable the management of dental decay by prevention and conservative treatment rather than conventional physical removal of decay and placement of restorations (fillings).
3.Biological mineral and protein interactions
Biological mineral is a defective calcium phosphate crystalline material. Studies of protein/mineral interactions are in progress to understand the processes of biomineralization.
NRSA trainees can participate in scientific and laboratory aspects ofany of the above areas, dependent on their background and interests.

Home > Patients & Visitors > Health Library > Driving a Car After a Stroke
You cannot drive after having a stroke until your doctor says that
you can. This may be hard to accept. You may feel that this is a big loss of
independence. But any problems with your vision, speech, or ability to
move quickly after a stroke can change your ability to drive safely. You need
your doctor's approval for the safety of yourself and others.
After your doctor says that you can drive, talk to the motor vehicle
department and ask about the rules for people who have had a stroke. You may
need to take classes, be tested again, and have changes made to your car. Some
stroke rehab centers give driver training classes.
If you cannot drive because of problems from your stroke, check with
your stroke rehab center about programs that offer special vans that can take
you to and from places. Senior groups and volunteer agencies may also offer
transportation services.

Truro ready for St Piran's Day parade and celebrations
12:00pm Monday 24th February 2014
12:00pm Monday 24th February 2014
Preparations are underway for the 2014 Truro St Piran's Day Parade on March 5.
The parade will begin at 1pm, mustering at the Leats between Edward Street and Castle Street (this is due to current road closures due to street works), and will thread through River Street, St Nicholas Street into Boscawen Street, and the U-Turn back to King Street and into High Cross.
Grand Bard of Gorseth Kernow, Maureen Fuller will give her St Piran's spring address from the steps of the Cathedral, and will be joined by the Mayor of Truro, the Chairman of Cornwall Council, Sarah Newton MP and children from many of the schools in the Truro area.
A special award will be given to the school which, in the opinion of the Grand Bard, expresses the spirit of Piran most clearly in the parade.
Short performances will be given by St Mary's and Bosvigo Schools, Truro High School, Roseland School Folk Orchestra and the Richard Lander/Penair Choir.
There will also be a St Piran's Window Dressing Competition, and musicians coming together from all over Cornwall to play, jam and celebrate, at the White Hart Inn in New Bridge Street.
The Parade is being organised by a partnership of Truro Old Cornwall Society, Truro City Council and Totally Truro.
Mayor of Truro, cllr John Tamblyn said: St Piran's Day is not only a celebration of Cornish identity and culture, with its values of inclusion and peace, it is also Cornwall's first day of Spring – hopefull."
Bert Biscoe, president of Truro Old Cornwall Society said: 'There's nothing better for feeling Cornish than hoisting a flag, wrapping up in tartan and going marching! This is a day for everybody in Cornwall to be part of what makes our land and people so special – our roots lie deep in the Celtic culture of the saints and stones, and we renew both who and why we are in a special Piran Tide week of events, celebration – some are solemn, some are joyous – most, like the Truro Parade, are both.
Neil Scott, Totally Truro, said: "January and February are very quiet months for trade in Truro. March is a new dawn – doors are open, Spring is in the air, the parade's on the move, windows are dressed and Piran's spirit is in the air."

TPWD Leases Offer Affordable Access to Dove Hunting
AUSTIN, Texas — How much would you pay for a share of the dove and small game hunting privileges on more than 55,000 acres of private land? What if they tossed in another million or so acres of hunting access for other game, like deer, turkey or waterfowl? If you said less than $50 you're in luck.
For $48, the price of an Annual Public Hunting Permit from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, hunters can access more than a million acres of public hunting lands, including 148 units ranging in size from 25 to 2,000 acres and covering more than 55,000 acres leased primarily for hunting dove and other small game. TPWD's public hunting program leased the land using money generated by permit sales.
While public hunting lands can be found throughout the state, most of the dove and small game leases occur along the I-35 and I-10 corridors within easy driving distance of the major metropolitan areas. Some areas offer special hunting opportunity for youth.
"In some places the units are clustered close by so hunters will have alternatives if their first choice is occupied," said Vickie Fite, TPWD public hunting coordinator. "The prime areas will be crowded during the first few weeks of the season and hunters should be considerate and safe."
Fite added that it is important that hunters consider themselves guests of the private property owners and treat the land with respect by not littering. "Make a special effort to pick up trash such as spent shot shells, empty shell boxes, paper and plastic sacks and other debris," she said.
Annual Public Hunting permits may be purchased wherever hunting licenses are sold, by phone at (800) 895-4248 or online (http://tpwd.texas.gov/). A map booklet and supplement of dove lease maps will be mailed within 10 days of purchase of the permit at retail outlets; however, the map booklet and supplement can be obtained immediately by purchasing the permit at a TPWD law enforcement office. The map booklet and supplement may also be viewed on the Internet (http://tpwd.texas.gov/hunt/public_hunting/).

We are aware of the report released by Earth Open Source regarding Roundup herbicides and glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup herbicides. Monsanto health and environmental experts are reviewing the report in detail.
Based on our initial review, the Earth Open Source report does not appear to contain any new health or toxicological evidence regarding glyphosate. Regulatory authorities and independent experts around the world agree that glyphosate does not cause adverse reproductive effects in adult animals or birth defects in offspring of these adults exposed to glyphosate, even at doses far higher than relevant environmental or occupational exposures.
The authors of the report create an account of glyphosate toxicity from a selected set of scientific studies, while they ignored much of the comprehensive data establishing the safety of the product. Regulatory agencies around the world have concluded that glyphosate is not a reproductive toxin or teratogen (cause of birth defects) based on in-depth review of the comprehensive data sets available. Additionally, we have anecdotal results from first-hand experience of millions of farmers and home gardeners who have used this product for decades. Roundup agricultural herbicide provides environmental and economic benefits of conservation tillage which are sustainable and provide effective weed management.
To understand the herbicide's active ingredient, it helps to know that glyphosate inhibits an enzyme that is essential to plant growth; this enzyme is not found in humans or other animals, contributing to the low risk to human health from the use of glyphosate according to label directions.
Earth Open Source authors take issue with the decision by the European Commission to place higher priority on reviewing other pesticide ingredients first under the new EU pesticide regulations, citing again the flawed studies as the rationale. While glyphosate and all other pesticide ingredients will be reviewed, the Commission has decided that glyphosate appropriately falls in a category that doesn't warrant immediate attention.
A few outlets covering the story have also mentioned other reports that we have addressed previously. For more information on them, please look at the following:
• Sudden Interest in Dated Argentine Research by Carrasco on Glyphosate
• Alleged Plant Pathogen Potentially Associated with Roundup Ready Crops (Huber)

East Morton landlord Martin Crosswaite had to settle for fourth place in the expert category of Yeadon-Guiseley Motor Club's Cobb & Jagger Trophy Trial at Keighley Gate last Sunday.
Despite fears of bad weather, the club managed to stage the second round of the Yorkshire Centre Trials Championship in dry, bright conditions.
The dense, wooded ravine trials course provided many thrills and spills as compet-itors attempted to remain on two wheels.
Entrants travelled from all parts of West and North Yorkshire, while MRS Sherco teamsters Luke Walker and Thomas Minta entered, even though they live at Ashby de la Zouch and Telford respectively.
Richard Sadler won the expert class ahead of Denby Dale's Jack Price.
Price was holding on to national double S3 Parts champion Sadler, who dropped two penalties on the first of three laps.
Price rode the first two laps on a single penalty but stopped on the rocks at the end of the third section on his final lap.
Sadler lost three marks in the stream at the fourth section and one mark on the very hard eighth section. Crosswaite was out-standing on this section but stopped on his final lap, exactly where Price failed on section three.
Minta was the class act in the championship youth category, while Norton oil- rig technician Roger Williams jetted home for his leave period and won Clubman B from Falcon member Andrew Jackson by a single penalty.
Eccleshill youngster Keiran Child again excelled with a Youth class victory over Slathwaite's Will Tol-son, Idle youngster Joe Faunthorpe and Keighley's Jacob Snowdon.
A total of 118 riders competed on the adults' course, while 26 boys and girls took part in a separate small-wheels five and eight section group.
Harry's Hemingway's brother George won the middle-course class from Keighley's Myles Hutchinson and Ravensworth's Monte Andrew.
Other Keighley contenders included Joseph Fox (first in youth class A) and Aaron Carter (youth class B).
RESULTS: Championship Course – Experts: 1 Richard Sadler (MRS Sherco) 6, 2 Jack Price (R&T Gas Gas) 8, 3 Luke Walker (MRS Sherco) 13, 4 Martin Crosswaite (Gas Gas) 15. Inters: 1 Andy McLoughlin (Gas Gas) 47, 2 Jack Stones (Gas Gas) 56, 3 Gavin Black (Montesa) 62. Novices: 1 James Stones (MRS Sherco) 43, 2 Thomas Housecroft (Beta) 83, 3 Harry Lampkin (Beta) 86. Youths: 1 Thomas Minta (MRS Sherco) 20, 2 Sam Johnson (Beta) 76, 3 Ben Goddard (Sherco) 97. Clubman A: 1 Roger Williams (Beta) 8, 2 Andrew Jackson (Gas Gas) 9, 3 Neil Savage (Gas Gas) 23.

Mobile marketing tips in a heads-down culture
By JASON THERRIEN
Jason Therrien is the president of
, an integrated marketing agency. He has more than 10 years of experience in the technology and marketing industry.
We use the term "heads-down culture" to describe our society and how our media and data consumption has increased so much that our heads are constantly looking down at our mobile devices.
Here are our best tips for marketers and brands to take advantage of the heads-down culture with their mobile marketing:
Mobile sites, then apps
Don't skip the basics – most brands need to get their own house (site) in order before they start developing mobile apps. Don't let the app craze create a bright, shiny distraction for you. As a company, get your site in mobile shape first.
Mobile e-mail testing
This is another straightforward one. When's the last time you tested your mass e-mail program with various device screens and e-mail clients? Do this periodically to identify any flaws or oversights that may appear screen-to-screen.
Location establishment
Claim your location with geo-location tools such as
Facebook Places
and Foursquare to avoid incorrect information floating around. While you're at it, make sure your
Google Places
information is up to date (don't worry, this service is free of charge).
Mobile-ready promotions
If you're publishing electronic coupons, make sure they're sized well for mobile devices so they can be read and/or scanned if you have an attached barcode.
QR codes
Be familiar with QR (quick response) codes and use them on offline material (packaging, business cards, brochures) and make sure that once scanned on a mobile device, they go to a useful, trackable link that is optimized to be viewed on a mobile device.
Mobile-ready short-form video
When publishing video to your website, ensure that it can be easily viewed and quickly downloaded on a smartphone.
The "always on" effect that mobile enables
Due to accessibility, mobile is enabling constant connection to the Internet regardless of the consumer's location. As a result, there are more comments, questions and mentions of your brand 24/7, 365 days of the year, which may warrant a response from you. Your consumers are "always on" and your brand needs to be too.
The changing mobile landscape
The evolution of mobile is happening at lightning speed. There are new devices, screen sizes, mobile browsers and tools every time you put your head down. Be aware of these and observe how your brand might utilize them for your audience.

Valentino Fall 2012 Couture
There is beauty in simplicity. That's one of the lessons this haute couture week has taught us, or rather, reminded us of. Or, alternatively, if you're too young to have taken nineties minimalism to heart, it sprung out of the blue: the idea that you can also stand out in a crowd by wearing something restrained and undecorated. Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli are lending a hand in this reappraisal at Valentino. "We also think couture is about pure shape," said Chiuri, as she and Piccioli were working on the finishing touches for their fall lineup in Paris. You can see what she means by flicking through to the points in the show where the midnight-blue dresses appear. One is in liquid silk with a high neckline, long sleeves, and a slightly blouse-y waist, trailing a long, fluted skirt. Another, with a new arched shoulder-line swooping into a curved V-neck, is in velvet. Impeccable, reserved, dignified—and youthful. Four adjectives we're not used to seeing strung together in this day and age.
But Piccioli and Chiuri have been working on modernizing couture and bringing a separateness to their vision at Valentino. Piccioli put a finger on it when he said, "We believe real beauty is effortless"—and how refreshing it is to hear that at a time when there is so much effort going on in all the dressing up and posturing outside shows. What they're hinting at in this collection—say, in the plain, chic structure of a short boxy dress with a matching double-layered cape—is that it's cool to take the opposite approach for a change.
It's not that the Valentino pair have completely changed tack, though. There is color and romanticism and decoration in the collection aplenty, inspired by their studying of the gem-like color of Gustave Moreau's Symbolist paintings, William Morris's Arts and Crafts and Tree of Life motifs, and Giotto's frescoes. For the last few seasons, the designers have been exploring the possibilities of all kinds of lace and crystal embroidery with the best of them—and they are amongst the very best. The house's signature dress—a silhouette based on a high-necked, raised-waist, balloon-sleeved shape, was reiterated in this collection, but in a different key. Some of the clothes were a lot darker and more erotic than in former seasons, deploying fan-pleating in sheer opaque zones, or strips of cut-out velvet lace running down the center of a dress, all in shades of black and navy. A black tulle dress with three horizontally-placed black velvet bands was an extraordinary example of the serene compromise between staying within the known Valentino ambit, and moving on.
Still, the point of having an haute couture operation, like the Valentino one in Rome, is that the craftspeople in the house can switch mediums and give rise to new ideas at any moment. Thus, in this collection, there were alternatives to what Piccioli calls their "modern Madonna" dresses (he means the Virgin, not Madge). Now there are slinky gold-and-jet-beaded jumpsuits, and a gorgeous lemon-yellow crystal-embroidered brocade three-piece pantsuit, too: choices for women who don't necessarily want to cast themselves as ingénues. In all, the evolution of Valentino as modern proposition with a magical tradition continues, broadening its appeal and relevance with every season.

Welcome to Liverpool Public Library
1980 Library Historyn January the village of Liverpool initiated the celebration of its 150th birthday with a ribbon cutting ceremony at the library by former mayor Oliver Masters. A Businessman's seminar was held at the end of the month . The Liverpool Lions Club donated three magnifying devices for the new Mark Loveless branch.
At the January Board meeting a motion was passed unanimously to install paper, pen and pencil dispensers in the library. It would be convenient for patrons and add revenue for the library as well.
The library also sponsored a "drop-in" site at the United Church of Christ at Bayberry. Selections were available for "all adults of retirement age" according to the Liverpool Salina Review. Librarian Barbara Herrgesell was named to supervise the depository.
In March the Board heard a report from consultant William Scarborough of The Energy Center on possible expansion of the current facility. He proposed a two level modular structure -to be built off site- that would hold shelving and tables and chairs. The installation would involve elevating the present ceiling by three feet. The Board opted not to do it even though the library was beginning to feel crowded.
On April 28, 1980 the Liverpool Public Library Needleworkers group was formed. It met from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. each Monday at the library. Beginning and intermediate needleworkers were invited to " exchange information" while they worked on their individual projects which ranged from knitting and crocheting to macrame and beading.
Volunteers began to hold a free Hypertension Clinic under the auspices of the American Red Cross at the library every first and third Tuesday of the month.
A coupon exchange took place once a month. Patrons were invited to trade or exchange their grocery coupons, qualifiers and refunders. A box containing subject labeled folders for coupons was kept in the library and patrons were invited to participate at their leisure. The library even had a collection of catalogs available for loan. The collection included retailers like Sears and Spiegels, gardening companies, pet supplies and clothing stores.
A popular activity that year was the playing of "New Games." Librarian Jean Armour attended a workshop and brought the idea back to Liverpool. The non-competitive games were offered to students at Morgan Road and other local schools by Jean and fellow librarian James Shults.
Early in the year the library received a grant from New York State which provided funds to microfilm their back issues of the local newspaper, the Liverpool Salina Review, and to purchase a microfilm reader as well. Local Liverpudlian Virginia Peta donated a few newspapers from 1875 and 1876 and these were filmed as well.
Sometime during 1980 - the sesquicentennial year of Liverpool - the Liverpool Community Chorus began. The all volunteer group of one hundred was directed by local businessman Phil Lambrinos and met at the library every Tuesday evening.
Alas, budget problems resurfaced. The current budget amount for the library was $441,000 and the proposed amount for 1980-81 was $526,000. A second proposition asked for $161,866 to erect a Porta Boutique branch at the Seneca Mall.

"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
Dear Engaged Bystander: When I was looking for quotes for the NSVRC publication, "Engaging Bystanders in Sexual Violence Prevention" I kept coming upon quotes by Martin Luther King Jr. I was looking for statements, by famous people, that would reverberate for the reader on many levels. I wanted quotes that could begin to shake us out of apathy or complacency and inject some urgency for action. I found quote after quote by MLK and what was remarkable was that I had so many to choose from.
To recognize and celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. on this national holiday, I wanted to share these quotes again with you. These are the ones that I chose for the publication:
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
"Life's most persistent and urgent question is
'What are you doing for others?'"
"In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies,
but the silence of our friends."
Unfortunately, I did not find relevant quotes from other nationally recognized leaders in the United States that carried the same passion for speaking about "things that matter." In the movement to stop sexual violence we have spoken for years about "breaking" or "shattering" the silence surrounding sexual abuse. I feel that our struggle has shifted because there are news features, television drama, movies, and others that have stopped the silence. The real struggle today is to learn how to talk about a subject that no one wants to even think about.
But when we look at the words of Martin Luther King Jr. we begin to realize that we still don't talk about the impact of our silence on our friends. I know from stories of survivors that the silence of those that we love that can hurt the most. Conversely, I also know from stories that some acknowledgement from a friend or a sibling or a close relative can make all of the difference in the world.
So in memory of Martin Luther King Jr. – say something to a friend that is meaningful to them or to you. Acknowledge a hard situation. Laugh together about what you wish you had been able to say. Begin that conversation about your concerns for someone you love. But make a commitment to say something to someone you care about.
It is a perfect birthday gift to a man who spoke out for the freedom of so many Americans.

It takes fuel to win tech race
Many of us can relate to thinking of Arizona's economy as an automobile race. To win, you need a smooth race course, a fast car, a winning driver and high-powered fuel. Carrying that analogy into Arizona's technology sector, it's clear that a lot of resources have been invested and progress has been made in building… Read More →

Could Miranda Kerr Be Losing Her Victoria's Secret Angel Wings?
Rumor has it that Victoria's Secret has opted not to renew Miranda Kerr's $1 million Angel contract. But are the rumors true?
-Lucia Peters
Could it be? Is Miranda Kerr really losing her Victoria's Secret Angel wings?
Rumors are swirling that Victoria's Secret has decided not to renew Miranda's $1 million contract. But… why? We love Miranda Kerr!
Theories abound, of course. An anonymous source told People that Miranda can apparently be a diva. "She can be difficult at shoots and appearances," she source said. "She's not very timely. She's standoffish with the rest of the girls." However, this mysterious and unnamed source continued, "If Miranda and Victoria's Secret part ways, it's not because of her behavior. It's purely contractual. She'll be coming back for the show but it's unclear if she'll be in future campaigns. But she is definitely one of the most popular models and in high demand."
I don't know, Bettys; I'm having a hard time believe this source. It's true that most of us have never spent any time with Miranda in person, but even observing from the sidelines, I've never seen her be anything other than gorgeous, good at her job, and an absolute sweetheart. Meanwhile, according to Us Weekly, she's "not a big seller" for the brand—which seems to contradict People's source on the "popular and in high demand" front.
Read Meet Karlie Kloss: 10 Fun Facts About the Newest Victoria's Secret Angel
For their part, Victoria's Secret released the following statement from Ed Razek, the brand's President and Chief Marketing Officer:
"Miranda Kerr is one of the best models in the history of the business—and easily one of the most popular. She is also a consummate professional. Any rumors to the contrary are simply untrue. While her international commitments have kept her away from us more than we'd like over the past few years, she will always be an Angel to me. We have no plans to stop working with her. In fact, I've already invited her to walk the runway in this year's fashion show, and, happily, she's agreed."
Bizarrely, though, this statement seems to dance around the issue a little bit. Although we're comforted by the fact that they're planning on continuing to work with Miranda, they've neither confirmed nor denied whether that will be in her current capacity as one of their official Angels. To be fair, Miranda does seem to work a lot outside of Victoria's Secret, so she's got her own brand to think about. Maybe she's planning on moving on herself, rather than being ousted?
In any event, it's all rumors for the time being; we'll let you know if we hear anything official. In the meantime, tell us: True or not true? And while we're at it, who's your favorite Victoria's Secret Angel?

text: Didn't like the huge mount for license plate and turn signals for the new R6, but I liked the arm that they mounted on. Most of the fender eliminator kits on the internet do away with the arm and run over $100.00 to $150.00 with turn signals. So Saturday took it all apart went to Cycle Gear and bought turn signals and license plate bracket with turn signal mounts, cost tax and all $38.68. I used the license plate light from the old setup but not sure I like it so may have to buy a different light. Here are some pics see what you think, the first 2 are the factory setup.

Corn futures closed lower on Monday. Corn futures were not able to move above unchanged today despite strength in the wheat complex. Prices were mostly pressured by position squaring ahead the USDA's October WASDE report. Pre report trade estimates peg the average production of the 2012 corn crop at 10.601 billion bushels, 126 million bushels below the September estimate. Prices were also weighted down by seasonal harvest pressure. December corn closed 6 ¼ cents lower.
Soybean futures closed lower on Monday. Market prices closed lower despite showing signs of recovery at midday. Traders are moving cautiously as the release of the October WASDE approaches. Pre report trade estimates forecast soybean production at 2.759 billion bushels with an average yield of 37.006. Other bearish factors for the market are seasonal harvest pressures and concern about the economic condition of China, the world's largest buyer of soy products. All of these factors coupled with a higher dollar index pulled futures lower. November soybeans are trading 3 cents lower.
Wheat futures closed higher on Monday. Wheat futures closed higher although gains were trimmed by the higher dollar index and poor macroeconomic outlook as well as instability in the other grain markets. Today's price support was tied primarily to adverse weather conditions in Australia and Russia. Australian wheat production is projected to decline by more than one million tonnes while Russian output is only expected to reach 70 million tonnes. Chicago wheat (Dec) closed 3 ½ cents higher, KCBOT close 4 cents higher, and MGE closed 5 cents higher.
Live cattle futures closed higher on Monday. Cattle futures closed mostly higher although several of the 2013 contracts closed lower. Futures were supported by spillover buying from the previous week's trade. Midday box beef prices were reported higher, adding the strength of the nearby contracts. There were no reports of cash trade activity, but prices are called steady at best. October cattle closed 30 cents higher while December closed 20 cents higher.
Lean hog futures closed mostly higher on Monday. There is currently not much fresh news surrounding the hog market. Nearby contracts traded mostly higher throughout the session on short term supply concerns and higher cash price optimism, while deferred contracts posted moderate losses. Packer margins remain in the black although they have eased from last week's estimates. Today's hog slaughter is estimated at 435,000 head, 2,000 head lower than the previous week. October closed 15 cents higher while December closed 33 cents higher.

Kate Upton's Travel Essentials… Revealed!
Wondering what model Kate Upton absolutely can't live without when she travels? We've got the answers right here!
-Lucia Peters
What does your travel bag look like, Bettys? If you're anything like us, it doesn't look at all like Kate Upton's. But that's not stopping our curiosity about what the model carries with her when she's on the road—or in the air, as the case may be! Kate recently dished to Vogue about the travel items she absolutely can't live without. Check out a few of her picks here!
The major splurge in Kate's beauty bag is a jar of Créme de la Mer The Eye Concentrate ($165, cremedelamer.com); given the magical qualities of Crème de la Mer's products, though, we can't really begrudge her too much for it. Besides, constant travel has a tendency to wreak skincare havoc on the best of us, so a beauty tool that helps dissolve the appearance of dark circles and grants a healthier, more luminous look comes in handy on the road.
She also swears by Cetaphil moisturizing cream ($7.99, drugstore.com), though, so it's good to know that at least one of her beauty must-haves is also super affordable.
A gal's got to work out even when she lives the jetsetting life, so Kate always comes prepared. She travels with some tunes, of course—lately, she's been jamming to Ne-Yo's R.E.D ($12, itunes.apple.com) and Ellie Goulding's Halcyon ($15, itunes.apple.com)—and a pair of Nike TR Free 2 Shield sneakers ($100, macys.com).
Read Jessica Chastain + More On-the-Go Gals: Who Was This Week's Best Dressed Celeb?
For entertainment, Kate brings along her Nintendo 3DS ($162.95, amazon.com) and Mario Kart 7 ($39, amazon.com), as well as The Hunger Games trilogy ($29.50, amazon.com). I like to think of her racing against Mario, Luigi, and the gang while clad in her nighttime staples—this gorgeous, Ralph Lauren Black Label strapless color-blocked dress ($1,098, ralphlauren.com), for example.
What can I say? I get a kick out of the contrast between the extreme highbrow and the extreme lowbrow.
The jaw-dropper, though? It's not the dress. It's not the Crème de la Mer, either. In fact, it's probably not at all what you might expect. Give up? Here you go:
It's her tote bag of choice. One of Kate's style essentials is a Céline Cabas tote that costs a mind-boggling $3,100 and can't be purchased online. I don't know about you, Bettys, but my tote bags usually take such a beating that I don't spend more on them than I absolutely have to. But hey, to each her own.
Head on over to Vogue for more of Kate's travel essentials, including her beach must-haves and her fave smartphone pick.
Tell us: What's in your travel bag?

Peter Som Spring 2014
Pinned to Peter Som's mood board, which was revealed on Vogue's Instagram just minutes before the models came down the runway this morning, pictures of 1950s surfer girls, James Dean in cool jackets, and a beach-bound VW helped sum up the look for spring: "It's surfing mixed with menswear and the ease of being away at the beach, with a downtown twist," Som called it. And though his references were vintage, the collection—sporty, graphic, and clean-lined—was not. "I really came to it thinking about American sportswear and what that is, and feeling that separates are becoming more and more important."
The most important piece for Som this season: the jacket. "I was playing with interpretations of the jean jacket, the tuxedo jacket, and the motorcycle jacket, for example, and giving each one a feminine feel," he said, pointing to the fact that the blue tweed he used on a ladylike cropped bomber bears a striking resemblance to worn-in denim. Meanwhile, the large-scale eyelet coats, which wrapped at the waist and came in black and white, were coated in lacquer giving the otherwise very sweet fabric a tougher, leathery effect. So Som's girl is back to the beach—wearing some of this outerwear with only a swirly, water-print bikini underneath it—but bringing a bit of the city along with her every time.
All legitimate surf-inspired collections need some neoprene, we know, and Som used his deliberately, making it into sweatshirts and cropped leggings, his answer to the Lululemon yoga pants that women wear all day long. "I wanted to take that look to the next level," he explained. Other pants were slouchy and loose. "It feels so relaxed and easy to have a pant that really has movement like that." Add a floral print—anemone-like and in two colors—and a cropped top or two, and what we got today from Peter Som was a collection that can sell as well as she surfs.

Dean Dedicates and Presents New Book to Archbishop Demetrios
10 January 2012 • Off-campus Event
"You've made my day!" exclaimed His Eminence Archbishop Demetrios, primate of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, as our seminary dean, Archpriest John Behr, presented him with a signed copy of his newly translated and published On the Incarnation, the classic 4th-century treatise by St. Athanasius the Great. Father John had dedicated the volume to His Eminence, with the words: "Faithful Guide, True Teacher, Genuine Lover-of-Words"; he presented the work to His Eminence in an informal meeting at the Archbishop's office on Tuesday of this week.
The book, published by St. Vladimir's Seminary Press in December 2011, expounds with simplicity the theological vision defended at the councils of Nicaea and Constantinople: that the Son of God himself became "fully human, so that we might become god." Its influence on all Christian theology thereafter, East and West, has ensured its place as one of the few "must read" books for all who want to know more about the Christian faith.
"The book has already experienced quick sales from many professors of introductory Christian religion college courses throughout the United States," noted Dn. Gregory Hatrak, marketing manager of SVS Press and Bookstore. We have received excellent feedback on this title."
Two features especially distinguish the volume: a preface written by C.S. Lewis, and the fact that the book contains English and Greek parallel text.
Father John's volume, which is part of the Press's Popular Patristics Series (PPS, numbers 44a and 44b), has been published in two formats: in English (PPS 44b) or in English with the original Greek text presented in parallel text on the facing page (PPS 44a). The bilingual version (978-0-88141-409-7) is 174 pages, and sells for $22.00; the English-only version (978-0-88141-427-1) is 112 pages, and sells for $16.00.

COLCHESTER'S High Street was closed to traffic while a massive tower crane was brought in as part of Williams and Griffin's £30million redevelopment.
The road was shut to traffic from Friday, at 7pm, until yesterday evening.
The closure was needed to allow a 350-tonne crane to be set up outside the menswear department.
Once built, it was used to construct another crane in the building site.
John Goodsir, 64, of High Woods, Colchester, sells the Big Issue outside the department store. He said: "It was quite a spectacle to see such a big crane in High Street.
"People, and especially children, were stopping throughout the day to look at it.
"It was already set up by the time I arrived at 9am on Saturday and the store opened as normal on Saturday."
The crane is needed to build a four-storey extension at the department store.

Friendly staff make The Moonrakers in Pewsey a great local haunt, according to landlord Jerry Kunkler who was delighted to accept this month's Gazette & Herald Pub of the Month title.
Pewsey-born Mr Kunkler, Wiltshire councillor for the village, will be celebrating owning the pub for 33 years next month and is the village's longest-serving landlord.
He said: "I'm totally shocked because we don't even serve food here.
"We just make sure there is a friendly atmosphere and we treat everybody the same and make everyone feel welcome.
"Things have changed over the decades.
"People don't just go to the pub anymore. They need a reason to go so we put things on like sports events on the TV screens and a happy hour.
"I've run a happy hour for the last 25 years and there we're more over Christmas.
"We offer good value for money, people can come here and get four pints for a tenner."
Mr Kunkler regularly uses his pub in the High Street to fundraise for many county and national charities.
The pub is also involved in community events and is a stop on both the three-legged race and the wheelbarrow race during the village's annual carnival.
He said: "All of the staff here work really hard and I never employ anyone who isn't friendly because it's the staff who make it a good pub to come to.
"I think it's important that they get credit for that.
"That's why I took them to Paris this year for the Christmas party. We all got on the Eurostar and went up the Eiffel tower."

Nothing real fancy but they did turn out pretty good. I started by salting some wings and then pouring on some Ole Ray's Kentucky Gold before putting them in the fridge for 7-8 hours.
I grilled them direct over a medium-low fire and while they did get quite dark they weren't actually burned.
The sauce added a nice touch of heat and while the cooking process toned down the mustard there was still some good flavor. And best of all, it was really easy from start to finish!

As expected, the Bank of England today kept interest rates on hold at 0.5% and opted not to print more money.
Analysts' attention has long focussed on the Monetary Policy Committee's May meeting; it was always more likely to hold off on plumping for more quantitative easing until then. However, its far from certain whether the MPC will opt for further asset purchases on 10 May.
Here are a few of the factors that are likely to sway the MPC's decision on whether it adds its the £325bn-worth of asset purchases. Read more

Hamlet Hartley - a summary of his life
1799-1878 — Westhoughton, Lancashire
Hamlet spent his whole life in Westhoughton, Lancashire, mainly in the Wingates area of the town. He married Mary BAMBER on 31 Aug 1822 at St Mary, Deane, Bolton, since the Westhoughton church at that time had no authority to conduct marriages. Hamlet and Mary had nine children - six girls and three boys.
In Hamlet's younger days he worked as a silk weaver - a common occupation in Westhoughton at the time. In 1841 he was living in a street known as Top o'th Slack, and in 1851 he was at Floral Cottage (sounds lovely!). By the early 1850s he had become a publican in charge of the Dog & Pheasant public house on Manchester Road. This is confirmed by entries in his daughters' marriage certificates and in the 1861 and 1871 census records. When he died in 1878 his address was The Square, Wingates, Westhoughton, and he was buried at the recently opened St John's church, Wingates.
All but one of his family remained in the Westhoughton area, but the one exception was his son Hamlet HARTLEY (1838-1922) who left his job as a ooal miner in the early 1860s and emigrated to the United States, where he married Sarah MILLS (1850-1925) - another immigrant, from Oldham, Lancashire - on 24 March 1868 in Aurora, Illinois before settling in Pawnee City, Nebraska as a farmer. Hamlet and Sarah had 12 children (including two pairs of non-identical twins).

To achieve a strong and edgy nail look at Cynthia Rowley's Spring 2013 presentation, celebrity manicurist Deborah Lippmann opted to layer two shades on short, rounded nails as I discovered backstage. Pairing Billionaire, a creme hunter-green and Wicked Game, an iridescent lavender-grey shade, Deborah and her team brought not only an eye-popping color that changes with each shimmer of light, but completed the entire look for Cynthia's playful presentation. I sense a trend with this nail look and might just even try this at home. What do you think? —by The Budget Babe Correspondent, Megan Zietz

In the College 4+, Penn's A boat took first on the Schuylkill River's three-mile course with a time of 14:09.15, well ahead of second-place Saint Joseph's (14:40.92) and the other 18 boats in the field. The Quakers' B boat wasfifth in 14:54.48, while Penn's C boat was ninth in 15:23.22..

CORSHAM captain Pete Dennett has no qualms admitting that his team's start to the season has been poor and has warned the Station Road side that they must improve against title-challengers Bath and Frocester.
Corsham suffered a third straight defeat as they were beaten by 80 runs at the hands of Taunton Deane last weekend.
And with clashes against Premier One champions Bath and fellow giants Frocester coming up in the next two weekends, Dennett is wary that his side's unwanted record could easily continue.
"The bottom line is that we've lost three out of four and we haven't been playing well," said the Corsham skipper.
"I've no doubt that we've got the talent in our squad and can't question the desire but we've just not been executing our skills.
"We've played most of the sides that were in and around the bottom of the table last year already and we've got Bath, who have won the league however many times, and Frocester coming up in the next two weeks.
"We could easily end up digging ourselves into a bit of a hole in those two games."
Jack Leach (99) and John Rogers (93) put runs on the board for Deane, who batted first, before Sam Sheikh also weighed in with an unbeaten 63 as the visitors posted a hefty 312-5.
Corsham did their best to chase down their sizable target but were put under the cosh by Deane's Rob Pryke, who ended the afternoon with figures of 4-54.
Ashur Morrison top-scored with 47 whilst openers Michael Coles (37) and Toby Davies (36) also chipped in for the hosts.
Jon Parker (21) and Paul Robbins (20) also added to Corsham's total but Dennett's men fell well short as they were skittled for 232 midway through the penultimate over.

Just announced by the Mets. More to come as I get it.
UPDATE 1: Here are the quotes released by the Mets.
"Jason is a great teammate, hard worker, stand-up guy, and true gentleman," said Mets Chief Operating Officer Jeff Wilpon. "Like Jason, we had planned for the kind of production here that he enjoyed in Boston and Pittsburgh, where he established himself as one of the game's top players. We wish Jason and his family success and happiness in the future."
"Jason has a tremendous work ethic. There was never any question about it," said Mets General Manager Sandy Alderson. "Unfortunately, the results weren't there and we are in a results-oriented business. We thank Jason for his efforts and wish him well."
"I still feel I have plenty to give to this game and that I can play baseball at a high level. But after serious consideration, both sides agree that we would benefit from a fresh start," said Bay. "I'm grateful we were able to reach an agreement to allow that to happen. I'm excited to keep playing and have no intention of just walking away. I enjoyed my time in New York. I have no regrets in signing with the Mets, other than that I wasn't able to play to the level that the team, the fans and I all expected and that we weren't able to win more games. I move on with nothing but an appreciation for the organization and its fans and best wishes to all my teammates there."
"As I've previously said, there's not a player who tried harder to succeed or was more frustrated and disappointed than Jason himself," said Mets Manager Terry Collins. "I'll miss Jason's presence in the clubhouse as a player, teammate, and person."
UPDATE 2: My thoughts on this are essentially that the Mets traded a non-zero chance Bay recovers, but one that sure looked pretty close to zero, to free up at-bats for others and avoid forcing fans to watch the deterioration of Jason Bay in 2013. So it makes sense, won't help for 2013, but certainly does bring relief to fans, the Mets, and probably Jason Bay as well.
Enjoy it, folks: could be the highlight of the winter.

Acer H6510BD Home Theater Projector Review
Acer H6510BD Projector Screen Recommendations
Acer H6510 – projector screen – Family room
Here's a seriously bright projector for those living and family room areas. Match with a proper screen for the room and you can deal with some significant ambient light while still projecting a still healthy image on a very large screen. One hundred and twenty inches shouldn't be a problem!
Depending on how large a screen, and where your ambient light issues are coming from: Back of the room, windows on the side, perhaps an entry into a different room, that will determine the best surface to use. From my experience though, where ambient light is at least a little present, High Contrast gray screens (which reject side ambient to varying degrees) often makes the most sense.
This Acer is brighter than any of the projectors shownin these room shots below.
Let's take a break and consider the affects of room surfaces, and how that affects your decisions.
My presumption is, you care about good movie performance, and having good blacks, since you are considering, or own this projector. Rooms with a fair amount of light are often just fine for almost all HDTV and definitely sports. They won't be significantly impacted by reflected light from the original image.
That's pretty impressive, is it not? with the Medium rust walls, a bit darker ceiling (everyone still thought it was white – as it was the lightest surface in the room), the shades opened a bit, yet thanks to the darker surfaces, the image is far better looking than the first image above.
I loved having that Stewart Firehawk G3 (in the images above) in my last home for handling a light surfaced room. It was 128″ diagonal in a room with a cathedral celing. When I started out there, all the walls were off white, as was ceiling, and carpet was gold. Lots of windows, which I covered with pleated shades – but with no channels. The Firehawk allowed me to have a good picture even with a moderate amount of light (can reada newspaper bright)
A good HC gray screen rejects most of the side lighting. This allowed me to even have my slide window shades open a few inches on sunny days, and still have a large, great football image. If your ambient is coming from straight back near the projector, like rear windows, the HC gray won't help you.
Ultimately, though, an HC gray, or some new high gain high contrast screens. These are going to be the best choice for most folks with lighter rooms, and especially if the lights are on the sides. Consider the especially the Firehawk G3, and the various Screen Innovations Black Diamond screens (different gains, etc.) which are especially good, but also relatively pricey (more than this Acer projector).. Also: Elite's HC Gray, Da-lite's HC-Da-Mat, and so on. Typically we're talking screens with gains of 0.8 to 1.1 gain, some a bit higher. This Acer is inherently pretty bright on all but the largest screens even in 3D, so trading a little brightness for some ambient light rejection is a plus. (Note HC screens are a touch darker in the corners/sides.)
Don't get me wrong, you can go with a standard white surface, but in a light surfaced room, you'll also appreciate the gray surface's ability to lower the overall black levels, in addition to helping "reject" much of the ambient light that isn't coming from where the projector is (straight back).
One alternative to the HC gray, might be a "high power" screen, one with lots of gain – such as 2.0 or higher. Like the HC gray screen there are tradeoffs. I find the roll off from the very high gain screens to be much worse than the less than perfect edge to edge brightness of an HC gray screen. I avoid hi-power screens, but I know some very serious projector owners who swear by them, for the right situation
Bottom line: The projector has the brightness. Now find the right surface screen to deal with the room. All that brightness gives you a good deal of leeway, or to tackle a room a bit worse than the competition can.

General Assembly: Statement by Ambassador Berger on Sustainable Development and Climate Change
(Statement as delivered by Ambassador Berger at the General Assembly Thematic Debate on "Sustainable Development and Climate Change: practical Solutions in the Energy-Water-Nexus")
"Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
This thematic debate on the energy-water nexus is timely and very important. I congratulate the PGA for this initiative. Achieving sustainable energy and water security for all is at the heart of the 21st century challenges. The role of climate change in this regard can not be overemphasized, as it might contribute to increased scarcity of resources, potentially fueling conflicts and instability.
We all understand: Reliable energy supply is not possible without water. And: modern water management does not work without energy. Energy and water policy are two sides of the same coin.
There is of course much more to consider: Not only water and energy are closely interlinked. Energy generation and agricultural production are competing for limited water resources. Allocating water for energy or for agriculture has major impacts on food and energy security.
As the panelists have pointed out, demand for energy, for water, but also for food is on the rise. Agricultural production accounts for more than 70% of the world´s water consumption. It is therefore even more important to analyse and find solutions for the interdependencies between water, energy, but also food security. A preparatory conference for Rio+20 in Bonn, Germany, in 2011 first highlighted these interlinkages.
In any future post 2015 development agenda we will have to carefully keep in mind these linkages. We can no longer look at these subjects in silos, but have to take a much more integrated approach.
This is not an academic exercise, but a very practical issue:
- Agriculture policies based on increased water pumping for irrigation have to cope with limited energy generation capacities.
- Traditional energy production needs a lot water resources, which very often adds up to water scarcity and diminishes the water available for food production.
Therefore, the importance of interlinkages between these sectors should be given adequate attention in framing the post-2015 development agenda.
I would like to adress the following questions to the podium:
- What are your ideas on how to conceptualize these linkages we are discussing today in a system of development goals after 2015?
- As the title of today´s debate is putting the energy and water nexus in the context of sustainable development and climate change: Could you elaborate on the influence of climate change in relation to the nexus approach ? Does climate change reinforce the need for a more integrated, i.e. nexus approach?
Thank you very much."

Bloodlines Resurgence - The Demoes!
A while ago there was a moderate hype around this Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines mod called Resurgence, which aimed to bring the best action/RPG of all times to the Orange Box version of the Source engine.
Well apparently the project is very much alive, given the fact that a demo (of sorts) has been uploaded at ModDB a couple months ago.
So far it's only a walk around some empty locations at Santa Monica, and if you ask me these guys are way too excited about the reflection mapping capabilities of the engine; but it's still a very exciting experiment for any self-respected fan of the game.
So, go check it out! And make sure to give the guys some props so they doesn't give up! And if you're a coder apparently they can use one of those too! And if you know a way to have our good RPS people feature it in the site that would be awesome too! Here's that link again!

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — On a cold Friday in late November, LSU's offense reverted to its cough-and-sputter ways of the balmier days early in the season.
After three consecutive games with more than 250 yards and an average of 30-plus points per game, the Tigers found themselves unable to move the ball consistently against Arkansas usually-porous defense.
But No. 8 LSU leaned on some familiar stand-bys — just enough offense to get a lead, booming punts from Brad Wing to turn field position to its advantage and a big-play defense that refused to relinquish the lead.
It all added up to a hold-your-breath-to-the-last-second 20-13 victory against Arkansas in Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
"We didn't execute like we wanted to running and passing the ball," said quarterback Zach Mettenberger, who completed 16-of-29 passes for 217 yards, "but when we needed a clutch drive, we got it and when you've got a defense and special teams like we've got, they help out a lot. We just did enough to win the game."
The Tigers (10-2 and 6-2 in the Southeastern Conference) reached double-digit wins for the third consecutive season, sixth time in coach Les Miles' eight seasons and 13th time in school history.
LSU remained in contention for a BCS bowl bid and could still win the SEC West if Texas A&M defeats Missouri and Auburn upsets Alabama on Saturday.
"It's out of our hands now," safety Eric Reid said. "We did what we had to do and hopefully some teams come up big (Saturday)."
Arkansas finished 4-8 and 2-6 under interim coach John L. Smith.
LSU's offense struggled throughout the first half but seemed to gain control when a spectacular, one-handed touchdown reception by Jarvis Landry of a Mettenberger pass in the back of the end zone gave the Tigers a 10-0 halftime lead.
"That should definitely be one of the top 10 (highlights on ESPN)," Mettenberger said.
After the Razorbacks got within 10-3 on John Henson's 25-yard field goal early in the third quarter, LSU came right back. Michael Ford's 86-yard return of the ensuing kickoff set up Jeremy Hill's 1-yard TD.
"Ford's return was big," Miles said. "We did have a lot of points, but we scored just enough."
Tyler Wilson's 28-yard touchdown pass to Mekale McKay got Arkansas within 17-10 with 5:52 left in the third quarter.
The wind chill continued to dip and the crowd began to warm up as the LSU offense had trouble driving.
After a 44-yard Wing punt late in the third quarter, Arkansas marched toward the Tigers goal line, reaching a second-and-goal at the 1.
Wilson threw an incompletion and was stopped for no gain on a sneak. Smith then opted for a field goal as many in the crowd booed. Henson's field goal made it 17-13 with 12:17 left.
"It was the right call," Smith said. "You have to score twice to win it don't you? I think you have to score twice to win it. You have to take the sure points and then come back and score again anyway. So that was the thought. I think it was the right call."
LSU averted a disaster on its next possession when it appeared Mettenberger lost a fumble after being sacked but the play was nullified by a false start by wide receiver Kadron Boone.
The Tigers failed to get a first down, but Wing's 69-yard punt put the Razorbacks at their 20 after the touchback.
The LSU defense forced a punt, then after a three-and-out, Wing hit a 54-yarder to the Razorbacks 38.
The defense forced another punt and the offense mustered its only scoring drive of any length in the second half.
On third-and-10 from the Tigers 36, Mettenberger completed a pass to Odell Beckham Jr. for a first down, and Beckham broke a tackle to turn the play into a 47-yard gain.
That completion helped the Tigers use 4:01 of the clock, and Drew Alleman's 27-yard field goal pushed the lead to 20-13.
Arkansas got the ball at its 22 after the kickoff. Wilson, who capped a record-setting career by completing 31-of-52 passes for 359 yards, had 88 seconds and no timeouts to work with.
He nickel-and-dimed the Razorbacks to the LSU 18 with six seconds left, but his final pass sailed over McKay in the end zone.
"We love playing defense so we don't mind being on the field in tight situations," Reid said. "We only gave up one touchdown and that was exactly what we needed."
Arkansas zipped down the field, looking as though it was going to score on the game's opening series. Wilson spread the ball around to Cobi Hamilton for gains of 13 and 12 yards, to Dennis Johnson for 9 and McKay for 17 as LSU missed a few tackles.
But a personal foul penalty on the Razorbacks' Baron Mitchell moved the ball from the Tigers 6 to their 21. Two plays later, Lamin Barrow knocked the ball loose from Johnson and Chancey Aghayere recovered for LSU at the 2.
"That was a key in the game," Miles said.
On the first play of Arkansas' next possession, cornerback Tharold Simon, who had limped off the field during the first possession, returned and intercepted Wilson. He grabbed the ball at the Tigers 39 and returned to the Arkansas 40.
After LSU managed just 8 yards on three plays, Alleman kicked a career-long 49-yard field goal to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead that lasted well into the second quarter.
The Razorbacks stopped Ford for a 2-yard loss on fourth-and-1, giving them the ball at their 42.
A pass interference penalty on Kevin Minter on third-and-1 gave Arkansas a first down at the 27. After a rush for no gain and an incomplete pass, Arkansas seemed to be setting up a field goal as Johnson ran for 3 yards to the center of the field on third-and-10.
Bennie Logan blocked Zach Hocker's 40-yard field goal.
Jeremy Hill ran for 22 yards and Spencer Ware for 6 to spearhead an LSU drive. An unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the Razorbacks bench turned a third-and-4 into a first down at the Arkansas 24.
Three plays later, on third-and-8, Mettenberger lofted a pass to the back of the end zone. It appeared beyond Landry's reach, but he leaped for it parallel to the ground and snared it with his right hand just inside the end line for a spectacular touchdown.
The Razorbacks moved into scoring range with a lot of help from LSU. A personal foul penalty on Barkevious Mingo and a pass interference penalty against Minter helped Arkansas reach the Tigers 26.
After two incompletions, Razorbacks coach Smith opted to try a 43-yard field goal even though it was third down and eight seconds remained. Hocker was wide right, sending LSU into halftime with a 10-0 lead.
Whether it was offense, defense or special teams, LSU always prevented Arkansas from catching up.
"Hats off to the team," Barrow said. "We have each other's back. If we keep fighting we always come out on top."

"The Source Family" a documentary by Boing Boing pal Jodi Wille and Maria Demopoulos, tells the story of Father Yod and his Source Family, a radical, utopian social experiment that emerged from the Los Angeles freak scene in the 1970s. You can download it on Amazon or iTunes, and it's a terrific film.
Isis Aquarian, one of the Source Family members featured in that documentary, sat down with Boing Boing at her home on the island of Oahu to share a special artifact from the Source Family treasure chest. It is the "Birth Rope," a handmade rope on to which were tied the names of each child born into the flower child cult—including Isis' own daughter Saturna.
In our video above, Isis references a mugshot of her. It was taken by Hawaii police when she was arrested for not turning over a fellow Source Family member's body to authorities when he died. The group believed in natural ceremonies for both births and deaths. That police photograph is below.

Technical Abstract: The search for new active ingredients for vector control involves two main approaches. The first is the screening of large numbers of experimental compounds (synthetic and natural products) using a primary high throughput screen (HTS) bioassay using Aedes aegypti larvae. Highly active compounds are then evaluated in secondary topical adult (Ae. aegypti) bioassays. Bioassay data are analyzed using structural-activity relationship (SAR) methods to identify desirable characteristics. Analogs of active compounds are then evaluated for adulticidal activity. The second approach is the targeting of critical genes/proteins to develop molecular (genetic) biopesticides through RNA interference (RNAi). Constructs are designed, produced and evaluated for efficacy. Preliminary results suggest that: (1) chemical screening using bioassays combined with SAR analysis is useful in identifying potential toxicants for vector control and (2) targeting critical genes/proteins through RNAi offers exciting possibilities for novel pesticide development.

New interim executive director named for state brand committee
More Ag News
Robert Robbie Mills, 34, of North Platte will spend 1½-3 years in the pen for flight to avoid arrest, willful reckless driving, possession of marijuana and felony child abuse.
Just after midnight Sept. 4 the police were called to the 2300 block of E. Fifth by Mills domestic partner. They were told that Mills may be intoxicated.
Before long, an officer tried to stop Mills in the 300 block of N. Walnut. Mills first stopped, then sped away. After a brief chase, he stopped in an alley in the 500 block of East Sixth and fled on foot, but he was caught within a few blocks.
Police did not find enough evidence to charge Mills with domestic assault, but there were two children, ages 3 and 4 years, in his vehicle, so he was charged with two counts of felony child abuse, flight to avoid arrest, possession of marijuana, resisting arrest and child restraint violations.
Deputy Lincoln County Attorney Tanya Roberts-Connick asked for the penitentiary sentence.
Mr. Mills has a history of pen sentences and a long history with Lincoln County law enforcement, she said. We just keep seeing him time after time. This time he ran from the police with his children in the car and a lengthy time in the penitentiary is appropriate.
Lincoln County District Judge Richard Birch told Mills that his record is terrible.
This time you turned almost nothing into three felonies and endangered your kids in the process, Birch said.
Mills record shows no less than 19 charges in Lincoln County, plus two terms in the state pen. His record includes assaults, drug and alcohol offenses, driving offenses, theft, felon possession a gun and failures to appear in court.
Birch sentenced Mills to a year for the flight to avoid, 1½-3 years for pot possession and 1½-3 for felony child abuse.
The sentences will run concurrently, boiling down to 1½-3 years. Mills also received credit for 11 days in the county jail.
