MANY of the thoroughbreds standing in the shade at Corin Gibbs' Winchelsea property, City to Surf Polo, were bred to race. But they were too small, or too slow - and some of them just did not care to run around in a circle all day.
Under his careful cultivation, they get a second chance in a game he calls ''dressage at 40 miles an hour''.
They call them polo ponies - even though most are not ponies at all.
Height restrictions were lifted after World War I, says Gibbs, when many of the Light Cavalry ponies never survived the battlefields of Europe and horses were in short supply.
Most have their mane shaved, so as not to tangle around the mallet, while a few retain it to signify ''learner plates''. ''Everyone knows not to come crashing into them in a game,'' Gibbs says.
His job is to teach them the road rules. ''They learn the game. The good horses will follow the ball and compete really hard for you.''
Gibbs is looking for the fastest, the most supple and the most relaxed under pressure.
''They have to be the ultimate equine athlete,'' he says. The very best will be sent to compete on the polo fields of Europe, where polo has boomed in recent years and, Gibbs says, Australian thoroughbreds are in hot demand. Among this batch, he has his eye on one promising filly.
''As a rule mares are braver and they push harder. The matriarch of the herd is the leader. Everyone thinks it's the stallion, but an alpha female is tougher than anyone else,'' he says.
But it is not just young horses that are headed to Europe to make their fortunes.
The traffic - equine and human - runs both ways.
Jess Lyell, 19, has come over from the UK to groom, getting the horses saddled up and helping the players - who often have a string of seven horses for a game.
She has worked on James Packer's New South Wales polo property and for a British ''patron'', one of the wealthy sponsors who recruits talented players and grooms, pays for the horses and often plays on the team themselves. ''I felt like part of the family,'' she says. ''They took me on holidays with them.''
Jason Lamaison, 17, has just graduated from Kyneton Secondary College and, in a few months, is off to try his hand in the British polo season, aiming to find a patron.
His father used to drag him to watch polo games a child, and he says he would fall asleep in the car.
But as soon as someone gave him a stick, he was ''obsessed''.
It is a gap year, he says, that he hopes will become ''a gap decade''.

Federal funding sought in rail campaign
A group of central west councils is hoping to secure commonwealth funding to help reopen a local rail line which is expected to cost $30 million.
A delegation has met representatives from the Department of Regional Development in Canberra.
The group wants to see the Blayney to Demondrille Line reopened to help transport grain and mining freight.
The Weddin Shire Council's general manager, Trevor Lobb, says an application for regional development funding will be lodged, when the next round of grants opens.
"The estimates of just repairing the line to its previous condition are in the order of $30 million and there are grants available of up to $15 million, so there's 50% of the rail costs," he said.
"There will be other costs on the projects so that the overall costs will be more than $30 million but it's a pretty good step if we can manage to pull in one of those grants."
A memorandum of understanding is also being finalised with the State Government.
Mr Lobb says the importance of getting the freight lines re-opened is starting to sink in.
"The federal government representatives were aware of that, the ones we met this week, the state government reps are still coming to grips with some of the scale of it.
"It's become a little bit bigger than what they were originally expecting from us, I believe, because of the potential of mining freight, which the line has brought out from our area down towards Port Kembla."

LaComunidad Creates World's 1st Annoytation
The interactive card trick was the first ever YouTube annotation. Now Amsterdam based digital marketing agency LaComunidad has created the world's first YouTube annoytation. It's innovative, spinning and annoying indeed…
End 2008 LaComunidad's social media marketing agency SocialMedia8 developed the first annotation Stand-Up Comedy for Dutch brand Sonnema.
LaComunidad seems not only a creative but also a rebellious agency. How about the animated trailer Advertising- the lipstick on a pig?
End 2006 LaComunidad introduced spoof artist Charley Bassey with his crazy songs about social network Hyves: This is MyHyve and on MySpace: This is MySpace?
Later they also introduced the Dance Remix and a Charley Bassey campaign site with a singalong karaoke version. Soon Charley was invited to perform live at the biggest Dutch dance event Dance Valley.
Wonder what will be their next move…

Great article in National Review on the issue of scale and wind/solar projects.
A simple bit of math shows that even with the rapid expansion that solar-energy and wind-energy capacity have had in the past few years, those two sources cannot even meet incremental global demand for electricity, much less make a dent in the world's overall demand for hydrocarbons.

The government has finally seen through the wind-farm scam – but why did it take them so long?
To the nearest whole number, the percentage of the world's energy that comes from wind turbines today is: zero. Despite the regressive subsidy (pushing pensioners into fuel poverty while improving the wine cellars of grand estates), despite tearing rural communities apart, killing jobs, despoiling views, erecting pylons, felling forests, killing bats and eagles, causing industrial…

A survey was conducted on wind farm noise as part of a Master's dissertation by Zhenhua Wang, a graduate student in Geography, Environment and Population at the University of Adelaide, Australia. The results show that 70% of respondents living up to 5km away report being negatively affected by wind turbine noise, with more than 50% of them "very or moderately negatively affected". This is considerably higher than what was found in previous studies conducted in Europe.

Dr. Reilly is a cardiologist who has established himself as a leader in translational and genomic studies in cardio-metabolic disorder. He is recognized internationally for his novel work linking adipose biology with atherosclerosis, and his adoption and application of innovative research technologies is cutting-edge. Dr. Reilly is considered by his colleagues to be a physician scientist who looks to his patients to define the research question, uses all the modern tools of biomedical science to explore the mechanisms and then returns to human subjects to prove the importance of the laboratory observations. Dr. Reilly is one of the most accomplished physician scientists engaged in clinical and translational research, spanning basic laboratory research through human investigation in the field of atherosclerosis, in the world.
Dr. Sean Hennessy, associate professor of epidemiology in biostatistics and epidemiology, associate professor of pharmacology and director of Penn's Center for Pharmacoepidemiology Research and Training, is the recipient of the Samuel Martin Health Evaluation Sciences Award. This award is granted to a faculty member for a body of work with an emphasis on health services research. Dr. Hennessy is recognized internationally as an expert in pharmacoepidemiology, which is the use of population research methods to study the effects of drugs and other medical products. His work embodies the health evaluation sciences and has improved our understanding of the treatment and prevention of disease. His research has had a remarkable impact on improving health and elucidating pharmacological action over a wide range of therapeutic areas, including studies of the cardiovascular safety of medications for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and of the effects of potential drug-drug interactions. He serves in numerous key leadership roles within Penn, nationally and internationally and his research program has exceptional impact.
Dr. Ben Z. Stanger, assistant professor of medicine and cell & developmental biology, is the recipient of the Michael S. Brown New Investigator Research Award, which recognizes emerging faculty investigators engaged in innovative discoveries. Dr. Stanger is recognized nationally and internationally in understanding the normal development of the gastrointestinal tract and applying this knowledge to problems of regenerative medicine and cancer. Since joining the Penn faculty in 2006, Dr. Stanger has achieved elite status, reflected in his grant funding and his high-impact, widely cited publications. His recent work applied techniques across disciplines to address an important problem in cancer biology. This work has received widespread attention because of its implications regarding early systemic spread of malignancy. Current efforts in Dr. Stanger's laboratory are aimed at translating this discovery into practice for patients with suspected pre-malignant lesions in the pancreas in an effort to develop an early diagnostic test for pancreatic cancer. Dr. Stanger is also an outstanding teacher of students, residents and fellows and has been heavily involved in the MD-PhD program at Penn. He epitomizes the ideal of the Penn Medicine physician-scientist.
Dr. Eline Tjetske Luning Prak, associate professor of pathology and laboratory medicine, is the recipient of the Lady Barbara Colyton Autoimmune Research Award that recognizes a faculty member who has been engaged in innovative discoveries and outstanding research in the area of autoimmune diseases. Dr. Luning Prak has made significant contributions to the field of B cell autoimmunity. B cells produce antibodies that can inappropriately target the body in autoimmunity (such self-reactive antibodies are called autoantibodies). Ordinarily, B cells that express autoantibodies can revise the specificities of those antibodies by undergoing further gene rearrangement, a process called receptor editing. Her work reveals that receptor editing is an important mechanism of B cell tolerance and that it is defective in some patients with conditions such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Type 1 Diabetes. Understanding how the antibody repertoire is selected lies at the heart of the functional and clinical heterogeneity within diseases such as SLE. Being able to distinguish different disease variants in humans with autoimmunity will open new avenues for individualized therapy and prognostication. Her work has relevance not only for autoimmune conditions, but also for neoplastic disorders of B cells. It will also reveal insights into how the immune system functions in immune responses to medically relevant pathogens.
Dr. Gregory P. Bisson, assistant professor of medicine and epidemiology, is the recipient of the Marjorie A. Bowman New Investigator Research Award, which recognizes a junior faculty member whose research has illuminated a fundamental clinical problem or improved the organization and delivery of health care. Dr. Bisson's research mission is to improve health outcomes among patients with HIV and HIV-associated conditions, with a focus on opportunistic infections such as tuberculosis. From the earliest stages of his career, he displayed both an unwavering commitment to global health and an exceptional ability to use rigorous epidemiological methods to test innovative clinical research hypotheses of great public health importance. His scientific achievements have occurred while simultaneously leading the establishment of Penn's research efforts in the sub-Saharan African country of Botswana, now the primary site for numerous NIH and private foundation research grants, many of which he has led. His work building his own scientific career and the research program in Botswana has resulted in a deep passion for mentoring others in infectious disease and global health research. Yet his program building and mentoring have not impeded his own outstanding research success, illustrated in his peer-reviewed publications and significant grant support from both the NIH and the Doris Duke Foundation. His unique combination of creativity, methodologic expertise and passion for clinical research make him the epitome of a deserving young investigator.

Described as an inspiring and compassionate leader and mentor and an outstanding role model for "celebrating family while pursuing a rigorous academic career." His mentees, comment on his ability to mentor over the course of a career and to work closely with them on plans for strategic career development. Known for his "beguiling charm, dry wit and disarming frankness," a number of mentees note his ability to be straightforward and honest "even when the conversation is difficult" and to provide criticism without offense. Described as selfless, as one who tenaciously seeks out resources to provide a supportive environment for his mentees to thrive, he is able to identify potential in his mentees and inspires them to "take risks and to move outside their comfort zones" and to create their own opportunities. A number of his mentees have moved into leadership positions and credit him and his mentoring with helping them to develop the skill sets to advance their careers. He is described as a great listener, a trusted advisor, a tireless advocate and one who "always delivers on what he promises."

Public meetings now scheduled daily
- Agencies fighting the Mount Charleston wildfire have decided to conduct daily meetings to update the more than 500 evacuees chased from their homes on the mountain. The meetings will be at 5:30 p.m. at the Centennial High School auditorium. The school, 10200 W. Centennial Pkwy., is serving as an incident command center for the federal, state and local agencies fighting the fire.
Barry Becker looked forward to the weekends, when he'd drive up to Prospect Springs Ranch and unwind.
As owner of the 40-acre mountainside pad, the 68-year-old businessman visited the ranch every Saturday to make sure the place looked nice. He took tabs on his stock of toilet paper, kept a count of the paddleboats tethered to the lakeside dock.
"Then I liked to smoke a cigar and relax," said Becker, who has been restless since he learned the Mount Charleston wildfire destroyed much of his rustic retreat.
A phone call early Wednesday morning let him know the fire had ravaged at least five of the buildings on his ranch: two storage sheds, a cabin, an outhouse and his lodge.
They weren't the first buildings lost to the now 10-day-old wildfire, which has engulfed nearly 40 square miles on Mount Charleston; that designation belonged to a commercial outbuilding that was engulfed Tuesday afternoon.
But the buildings on the ranch, about five miles southeast of housing developments in Kyle Canyon, included the first residential housing destroyed.
Since the fire erupted July 1 on the mountain, Becker's good friend, who lives in one of the property's cabins and refused to evacuate, called twice a day with updates. Though they were aware of the dangers of forest fires, the men never thought they'd find one in their own backyard.
"We were hoping it would skirt north or go around us," Becker said. "It didn't."
Built in 2004, Prospect Springs Ranch has been a getaway for a group of about 16 families, all friends of Becker, who owns Las Vegas-based Becker Gaming. If a family wanted the ranch for a weekend, they'd just have to make a reservation.
Towering juniper and pinyon pine dot the land between the cabins and lodge. Several horses grazed the property. To Becker, the ranch was a calming escape.
"It used to be so very green," Becker told the Sun Wednesday afternoon, just before driving up to the ranch to assess the damages to the environment. "It might be black now."
Inside the lodge visitors once found the mounted heads of elk and moose, tokens from past hunting trips. There was a kitchen, large dining room and recreation room, anchored by a pool table. Becker's brother-in-law restored and installed too large potbelly stoves to maintain the rural feel.
A fireplace at each end of the lodge lighted many gatherings in the winter months.
"It was like a little private resort," said Becker, who did not comment on whether the property was insured.
Martin Fritz, a former caretaker at the ranch, said the property was "really, really nice."
The fire, which began with a lightning strike on July 1, has now brushed into Bureau of Land Management properties in two locations: near Prospect Ranch and north of Kyle Canyon Road, said James Stone, public information officer for the National Incident Management Team.
The Mount Charleston forecast Wednesday afternoon called for a high near 82 and west winds from 7 to 13 mph. While that might sound ideal for those in the Las Vegas Valley who have suffered through triple-digit high temperatures for weeks, "the weather is continuing to be not good for firefighting," Stone said.
Relative humidity is low on the mountain, adding to the extremely dry conditions. The relative humidity was expected to be 12-15 percent Wednesday, up from 9-12 percent Tuesday.
"We'll take every one of those percentage points we can get," Stone said.
Rain could be on the way.
The National Weather Service Wednesday afternoon issued a flash flood watch for the Spring Mountains, from 8 a.m. Thursday through 5 a.m. Friday.
"There's a 50 percent chance for rain in the mountains, 30 percent in the valley," said NWS meteorologist Ryan Metzger.
While rainfall would be welcomed in figting the blaze, Metzger noted the downside of a thunderstorm unleashing itself over the burn area: the possibility of flash flooding and mudslides in areas burned clean of ground-hugging vegetation, or of erratic winds quickly driving the fire in unexpected directions.
Stone said there are highly mobile firefighter teams tasked with responding to any new fires sparked by lightning strikes.
The fire continued to grow overnight Tuesday. As of 6 a.m. Wednesday, it was estimated to cover 25,524 acres, or nearly 40 square miles.
The number of people involved in battling the fire, including firefighters and support staff, is now 1,077, up from 803 on Tuesday. The total includes 24 firefighting crews – 12 specially trained hotshot teams and 12 Type II teams. They are backed up by 10 helicopters, 51 engines, two bulldozers and 15 water tanker trucks.
A portable retardant base has been ordered to make it easier for air resources to get retardant to the mountain.
"It's a tool," Stone said. "Apparently the aerial resource people thought they would be more efficient if they had a portable retardant base."
Officials said firefighters on Wednesday were building containment lines across Kyle Canyon Road. Hotshot crews were strengthening containment lines on the west side of the fire, above Lee Spring. On the north side of the fire, by Rainbow Subdivision, crews were working to strengthen the fire edge near Cathedral Rock.
Meanwhile, officials said, strategic burnout operations will continue in Lovell Canyon, moving to the northeast.
Fire managers are optimistic about containing the eastern fire edge and further securing the Prospect and Harris Ranch areas of the blaze.
The cost of the 10-day firefighting effort stood at $6.27 million as of Tuesday night, Stone said.
Total containment of the wildfire remains at 10 percent.
The wildfire received mention Wednesday morning on the U.S. Senate floor by Majority Leader Harry Reid.
"My thoughts are with those who have been evacuated from their homes in southern Nevada's Mount Charleston area, where the Carpenter I fire has burned more than 30 square miles of forest and desert. My thanks go out to the dedicated first responders who acted quickly to protect lives and assist in the evacuation. And my heart is with all the brave firefighters, who have been working around the clock to contain the blaze and protect their communities," Reid told his colleagues.
Meanwhile, the public continues to lend support to those affected by the fire and those fighting the blaze.
For example, Cannery Casino Resorts has opened 40 hotel rooms to house some of the 520 Kyle Canyon residents displaced by the fire. The Red Cross continues to assist those evacuees, too.
Members of the public are dropping off water and food for firefighters at the fire command center at Centennial School, so much in fact officials say they can no longer accept the donations. Instead, they're asking people wanting to help to make a donation either to the Red Cross or to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation, which assists families of fallen wildland firefighters.

I'm trying to avoid a retransmit battle, therefore I try to delay packets if possible with the hope that it's either just a peak or the slow down is fast enough. I use a simplified RED and tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue() input to avoid flick flack effects which works pretty well for bulky streams. A burst buffer takes care of interactive traffic with peaks but this doesn't work perfectly fine yet. Overall, my attempt works pretty well if the other side uses reno/bic and quite well for westwood and vegas. The problem is not that it doesn't work at all but achieving a certain _stable_ rate is very difficult, the delta of the requested and real rate is up to 25% depending on the constancy of the rtt and wether they follow one of the proposed tcp cc algorithms. The cc guessing code helps a bit but isn't very accurate. > Something along the lines of what OBSD firewall does but selectively (If > i understood those OBSD fanatics at SUCON;-> correctly)..they track > at ingress before ip stack.

The large destroyed book is a miscellaneous item in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.
It is useful only as Rock-It Launcher ammunition in Fallout 3. In Fallout: New Vegas, however, it can be used (via the Book Chute in the DLC Old World Blues) to make blank books which can be used in Skill book recipes to make Skill books. With Voracious Reader, they can be used to create skill magazines as well. They can be found in many locations in both games, predominately in houses and libraries.

A £1 million fund will provide a range of projects to tackle lonliness and isolation across North Yorkshire.
The projects, which include visual and performing arts workshops, pop-up community cafes, counselling services, volunteers schemes to help elderly people stay warm during winter months and physical fitness workshops, will all be funded by the cash being made available by North Yorkshire County Council.
The aim of the Innovation Fund, which has been set up by the authority, is to support the transformation of health and adult social care in North Yorkshire.
Around 41 projects across the county will be delivered by voluntary and community partners including Rural Action Yorkshire, Age UK, Live Music Now, National Energy Action, Relate, Wellspring Therapy and Training and Purple Patch Arts. The projects have been chosen to address three main themes: reducing loneliness and isolation; prevention of falls and supporting people to remain in their own homes.
County Councillor Don MacKenzie, North Yorkshire's executive member for Public Health and Prevention, said: "The Council is using this investment as a key part of its wider drive to help people to maintain their independence, and to encourage local communities to care for their residents.
"North Yorkshire is home to an increasingly elderly population, for whom isolation is becoming a reality. "As an authority we are all too aware of the effects of loneliness on health and social care, and that overcoming isolation represents a major challenge across a rural county with sparse populations."

Saugus District Coming Up Short
* For the first time in its nearly 100-year history, the Saugus Union School District has a budget that is in a "qualified" condition for upcoming years, which means the district may be unable to meet its financial obligations during those school terms.
"The budget crisis was not due to any action on the part of the Saugus Union School District," said Superintendent Judy Fish. "Our school district has always had a healthy reserve in spite of receiving the lowest base revenue funding in Los Angeles County."

Director Orson Krennic Is A New Kind Of Star Wars Villain In 'Rogue One'
Potential minor/speculative spoilers ahead for Star Wars: Rogue One.
When Rogue One hits theaters this December, it represents something of a gamble for Disney. Although a new movie living inside the Star Wars universe is as safe a bet as any to perform well north of half a billion dollars, Rogue One doesn't just need to be good — it needs to great, an intergalactic caper flirting with the duality of both being recognizably a Star Wars movie and different enough to justify expanding the universe beyond the new trilogy.
That's quite a challenge, but early indications seem to suggest that director Gareth Edwards and the rest of the team behind Rogue One have stepped up to the table. its villain.
From Darth Vader to Emperor Palpatine, by way of the deliciously screwed up Kylo Ren, a spoiled overgrown adolescent hiding behind an absurd helmet, Star Wars has birthed a plethora of truly great villains — the kind you despise, but also secretly root for — and Rogue One will be looking to add Orson Krennic (played by the superbly talented, always-creepy Ben Mendelsohn) to that esteemed list.
So what separates Krennic from his forefathers and makes him such a formidable adversary for the team lead by Jyn Erso? On the surface, Krennic's story actually appears to be quite a strong similarity to that of Kylo Ren. Both are influential, but not all-powerful figures seeking the respect or favor of a higher-ranked officer.
More Details Have Been Revealed About ThoseRogue One Reshoots |
— TEKSAVAGES (@TekSavages)
For Krennic, an Imperial Military Director responsible for the protection of the Death Star project, the goal is to use the authority he has to get in the good graces of the Emperor, in order to ascend the ranks of the Empire – in other words, he's a classic careerist motivated by power. In this respect he differs from Kylo Ren, whose entire arc is wrapped up his unresolved abandonment issues, emotional rather than calculating.
, VX Supervisor John Knoll described Krennic as "terrifying, really smart, and really effective," elaborating that "there is a lot of palace intrigue going on in the Empire, with people conspiring to move up the ranks and sabotaging each other. There's not a lot of loyalty there."
One of the crucial differences between Krennic and his villainous counterparts is that, piecing the story together and considering its place in the Star Wars timeline, we can say with some certainty he'll probably never achieve that ambitious career goals — if he did, we'd have met him in the original trilogy. The mystery becomes less about his own, eventual fate, and more about what havoc he might wreak along the way. And that's exciting.
In a movie in which we'll be reacquainted with Darth Vader, arguably cinema's all-time most fearsome, most iconic villain, Director Orson Krennic has a lot of work to do, but right now, the omens are in his favor.
With any luck, we'll learn more about the cape-twirling antagonist long before Rogue One hits theaters on December 16, 2016.

NEW YORK - A Postal Service truck driver accidentally struck and killed a retired state Supreme Court special referee who was the sister-in-law of Alan Dershowitz, the prominent lawyer and Harvard Law School professor, police said yesterday.
Marilyn Dershowitz, 68, died after being hit by the truck while on her bicycle a few blocks from Madison Square Garden.
The truck driver drove off, apparently unaware that a cyclist had been struck. The driver later was identified. No criminality was suspected.
Dershowitz's husband, Nathan, said they were riding their bikes together Saturday but he was about a block ahead of her when she was struck.
"When she didn't catch up, I went back and saw the police around,'' he said, adding that she was wearing a helmet. "I got back to the scene. She was bleeding profusely.''
The couple had two children and lived in Tudor City, on the east side of Manhattan, along the East River.
Dershowitz retired in December from her longtime position with the state courts, her husband said. A highly esteemed judge and referee, she had overseen a number of dramatic divorce trials, including the proceedings of Dr. Nicholas Bartha, who blew up his family's town house in 2006 so his former wife would not benefit from its sale and later died from his wounds.
"She handled literally thousands of cases,'' said her husband, a high-profile defense attorney.
He is the brother of attorney Alan Dershowitz, who represented Mike Tyson and helped win O.J. Simpson's acquittal on murder charges.

LOS ANGELES – Frustrated by the way the Arizona Wildcats are playing these days?
You have company.
It's bugging Derrick Williams, too.
Williams said he's watched about 15 Arizona games on television or video recorder so far this season and he caught UA's 89-78 loss at USC in person on Wednesday while his Timberwolves were in town to prepare for the Lakers on Thursday.
"It's tough. Especially since I grew up with those guys in college and some of those guys I even knew before college," Williams said before the Lakers-Wolves game. "It's tough to see them lose, especially when I know they can win. They can play so much better.
"You win some, you lose some, but it's how you respond to the next game."
As a product of nearby La Mirada, Williams knows that playing in Los Angeles can be tough, too. He went 1-3 in regular season games in L.A. with the Wildcats, and 2-2 in the Pac-10 Tournament, including a season-ending quarterfinal loss to UCLA in 2010 and the overtime loss to Washington in the 2011 final.
"A lot of guys are from here and they want to play so well in front of families and friends," Williams said. "I did that as well. You just want to play so well in front of your family and friends. (At USC), that's pretty much what happened. They struggled pretty much the whole game."
Of course it could all be better for the Wildcats if… Williams was playing his senior year for Arizona.
But that's a road he isn't going down. Not after jumping in as the No. 2 overall NBA Draft pick in 2011, and after taking advantage of extra playing time recently because of Kevin Love's broken hand (he has three 20/10 games in his last six played).
"I think everybody who leaves school early always gets that question asked," Williams said. "But if you look back at it, I'd be a senior right now in college and I'm so much better than I was even in college.
"I think everyone who leaves college early looks at it one or two times, of why they're playing in the NBA. But you really can't look at it too much. That's for fans to look at it like that."
Meanwhile, Williams had 15 points and eight rebounds Thursday while playing a team-high 40 minutes for Minnesota, which has been hurt by frontcourt injuries.
Arizona didn't get any help in the Pac-12 race Thursday:
-- Oregon beat OSU to stay in a loss-column tie with UCLA atop the Pac-12 standings. The Ducks and Bruins both have four losses, though both are on the road next weekend – Oregon in the Rockies, and UCLA in Washington.
Worth noting: The Ducks received Dominic Artis returned to the Ducks, but backup guard Damyean Dotson appeared to be lost with hip trouble, according to the Oregonian's report.
-- California put away Utah to stay tied with UA for third place. The Bears hold a tiebreaker over Arizona and have Colorado and Stanford left to play at home.
We took advantage of the extra day in Los Angeles to come up with a feature on Williams, a look at the new Pauley Pavilion, and a breakdown of UA's defensive slide.
Ben Howland agrees with those who proclaimed the Bruins' 2013 recruiting class the best in the nation, while both Shabazz Muhammad (ankle sprain) and Travis Wear (foot sprain) could be fine for Saturday's UCLA-Arizona game.
And, just wondering, but could the following compilation of tweets from Jahii Carson's mother shed light on the future of the Sun Devils' standout guard?

About Me
To understand myself and others through new experiences
I graduated high school last year but didn't get swept up in the university phase like most of my school mates so since the summer I have bid my time working a few different jobs, drinking lots of coffee, and generally being bored and trying to figure what the heck I am still at home for. I play piano and sing rather loudly and out of tune in my spare time, and try to find the courage to enjoy myself outdoors even in my city's incorrigibly rainy weather.
I love to listen and talk.
Quality over quantity.
Analyze, reflect, investigate, and then respond with sensibility... Or, just screw it all and dive in - it's not like you can ever know anything in this life, anyway.
It's good to love.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
It's heartening to see such a large community based on sharing, learning, travelling, and in general opening to yourself up to others.
I love the idea that people looking to connect with each other can do so and make whatever they want out of it - which for me, in a nutshell, is simply having that chance to travel and sit down with someone from whatever walk of life they come from and enjoy whatever the unique situation has to offer.
At this moment, I am almost completely a newbie to couchsurfing.
I was welcomed into a couchsurfer's home once before, and I was very humbled by my host's graciousness towards me and the friend I was with - two complete strangers. The community I stayed in, even though it was just outside my own corner of the province, had a very different culture from my city's which would have been completely inaccessible if I had been there without the local insight of my host.
Skiing, hiking, board games (Scrabble, anyone?), psychology, reading newspapers left abandoned in cafes and late-night buses, classical music, piano, GLEE,

One Amazing Thing I've Done
When I was 8 or so years old, I saw the sun set over a lake in the North West Territories around 12:00am. I was with my family on a small boat, and it was one of those times where it felt fantastic to be with the people I was with and the sky seemed so unreal. It was kind of funny too because the only reason we left the cabin so late was because we had to fumigate the cabin with some sort of bug spray due to a mosquito infestation.
Teach, Learn, Share
As a hodge-podge English speaker, I speak French moderately well and truly enjoy practicing it with or teaching it to others (for the francophones out there - I appreciate the patience and help if needed! :)
I also play piano and am a huge fan of classical music, I studied piano for a good portion of my youth.
I love science and math things, but I'm not terribly well educated nor smart in those arenas. Don't expect me to know my stuff on that one there :)

Bonacic's Esopus Creek Legislation Passes Senate
State Senator John J. Bonacic (R/I/C - Mount Hope) announced today that the Senate has approved his legislation, Senate bill 6150, for the second year in a row. The measure, if enacted, will include the Esopus Creek within the definition of "Inland Waterways" for waterfront revitalization.
"Municipalities and organizations along the Esopus Creek's banks will become eligible for Department of State and Department of Environmental Conservation funding," stated Senator Bonacic. "This designation is especially crucial, given the annual flooding occurrences in many communities and given the fact that existing flood management systems are not working."
Projects that will be grant eligible as a result of the Creek's inclusion as a State Inland Waterway include: implementing water body/watershed management plans designed to mitigate flooding, urban waterfront development, and resource management and planning.
Town of Hurley Supervisor Gary Bellows stated, "I thank Senator Bonacic for sponsoring this legislation. The Esopus is a valuable resource for the Town of Hurley. With the enactment of this bill, not only can we enhance the Creek, but also help with flood mitigation."
Senator Bonacic concluded, "Our creeks must be maintained properly so that when flooding does occur, it is not exacerbated. Government at all levels should have learned a lesson from Katrina, where the lack of maintenance of levies greatly contributed to the deluge of water. It is my hope that the Governor will sign this into law."
Senate bill 6150, which has also passed the Assembly, will be sent to the Governor for his consideration.

THE KILLING Promo Poster Arrives
I can not wait to see the second season of AMC's The Killing. The first season was a must-watch edge-of-your-seat thriller. The new key art has arrived above thanks to THR.
Here is what AMC's head of marketing Linda Schupack had to say in an interview with EW:
All of these characters have secrets. The tagline 'Be careful what you uncover' speaks to the discovery of those secrets and what unravels from their exposure.
The story will pick up where the first season ened. Viewers will join "Det. Sarah Linden (Mireille Enos) as she continues the case to find Rosie's killer after thinking it was closed – a result of possible deception by her partner Det. Stephen Holder (Joel Kinnaman)." The sophomore season is also going to add more mystery, by introducing another unsolved case.
When we thought about the second season, we wanted something moody and beautiful and vaguely unsettling. This is a cop drama unlike other cop dramas, so our approach to the key art was to be as distinctive as the show itself.
The Killing returns to AMC on Sunday, April 1 at 8 p.m. Who do you think killed Rosie?

The Agency's discussions with experts in the field pinpointed a number of issues in cost,
quality and access to services for victims of sexual assault in urban, suburban and rural
There are few studies of the economic or medical costs associated with sexual assault,
and little data on the use of medical services, either immediately, or over the long
term. The studies that are available indicate that the long-term costs may be quite
substantial in terms of ongoing visits to providers, missed work, and treatment for
trauma (Rennison, 2002).
A 1996 NIJ Report (NIJ, 1996) supplements information obtained from the NCVS,
which collects information only on short-term, out-of-pocket losses due to
victimization. The NIJ report provides cost estimates for various types of violent
crime that include longer range costs (e.g., those due to permanent disability and for
mental health treatment) and intangibles such as pain, suffering, fear, and lost quality
of life. The findings of the report include:
The 1995-96 NVAWS, a telephone sample survey that collected information on
medical services provided to adult victims of rape, found that:
Return to Contents
Among the issues identified with respect to quality of care and variations in practice
are the following:
In partial response to these issues, a Federal law, the Paul Coverdell National
Forensic Sciences Improvement Act, was enacted in 2000 (42 U.S.C. §§ 3797j et
seq. (2002)). The Act authorizes about $500 million in Federal funds over a five-year
period to be used by States to: improve procedures for testing DNA samples;
hire and train personnel; modernize laboratory equipment; and improve the quality
and timeliness of forensic science services.
There are only sketchy descriptions available of the types and quality of services
available to sexual assault victims. The reports available indicate wide variations in
the types and quality of services received.
The NWS found that 55 percent of rape victims surveyed
had not been given information on HIV testing and that one-third were not given
information about other STD testing. The practice of immediate testing for STDs is
controversial because any infection found would reflect prior exposure, and not all
assaults will expose a patient to STD risks. However, others favor it as baseline
information, and virtually all experts agree that the provider should stress the need
for followup STD evaluation and treatment for patients at risk (CDC, 2002).
A 1996 survey of 130 Florida hospitals also provides a startling picture of the high
degree of variation in services provided to sexual assault victims (Maxwell and
Soubielle, 1996). Highlights of the findings from the 64 hospitals responding (49
percent) include:
While interesting, these data, collected from 130 hospitals in Florida, may not be
entirely reflective of national practices.
When a sexual assault victim presents to a hospital or clinic, medical staff will
typically assess and respond to serious or life-threatening injuries. However, the
decision to do a formal evidentiary examination is dependent on the patient who
must give written consent, and is affected both by State laws and the judgment of
local law enforcement officials or prosecutors as to whether an examination will
be useful and can be justified.
Numerous Federal and State laws have been enacted to ensure that victims of
sexual assault do not have to pay for medical evidentiary examinations. However,
some States limit payment only to victims who are willing to report the assault to
police and/or to cooperate in any prosecution. If the assault is not reported, or the
case is not prosecuted, the victim may be unable to obtain a full examination, or
may have to pay for the costs of an examination.
A number of States place responsibility for payment on the county where the
sexual offense occurred, or on the entity who requests the examination, most often
the investigating law enforcement agency or the prosecuting attorney. If the
county official, police officer, or prosecutor is told that the victim does not plan to
formally report the assault (a decision that the victim may not want or be able to
make immediately, and a decision which sometimes changes), they may not
approve payment for an examination. Similarly, if they believe that the victim's
account is weak or that successful prosecution is unlikely, they may act to
preserve limited resources and not provide approval for payment.
Even when State laws mandate that victims not be charged for the expense of
evidentiary exams, there are cases in which claims may be submitted to third
party insurance companies, compromising the victims' privacy, as insurance
companies may not only be informed of the sexual assault but may also learn
about exposure to HIV or other aspects of treatment that could affect insurance coverage in the future. Victims may also be forced to disclose the assault to the
primary person on the insurance, such as a family member or even an employer.
Victims of crime are not generally required to cover the costs of evidence
collection incurred in the investigation of their cases. Despite the fact that most
States have laws that designate payment sources to cover the costs of forensic
exams for sexual assault victims, and some even specifically prohibit billing of
victims, billing of sexual assault victims continues to be widespread (National
Center for Victims of Crime, 2003; National Center for Victims of Crime, 2001).
Victims need to be informed of their rights and of avenues of recourse when
rights are violated.
