Alpha Hospitality Ventures LLC has filed two loans totaling $6.6 million through Cecil Bank for Memphis Airport Hotel & Conference Center in Nonconnah Corporate Center.
The company bought the property, 2240 Democrat Road, for $4.4 million at a July foreclosure sale, financing it at the time with a $4 million open-end mortgage through Cecil Bank.
The 270,000-square-foot, five-story hotel was built in 1974 and includes 374 rooms, more than 30,000 square feet of conference space and an on-site restaurant. It is on 7.6 acres at the northeast corner of Nonconnah Boulevard and Democrat Road, about three miles from Memphis International Airport. The hotel has frontage on Airways Boulevard to the east, and the Shelby County Assessor of Property's 2011 appraisal is $5.5 million.
Of the two loans, $5 million is through a federal Small Business Administration program that uses tax dollars to assist small business owners.
The hotel and conference center went into foreclosure last year after its former owner, which bought the property for $8.3 million in 2008, defaulted on a $12.8 million loan.

U.S. Airways over the weekend opened more flights between Memphis International Airport and Reagan National Airport in Washington.
The three daily nonstops to Washington began Sunday. But airport and U.S. Airways officials marked the occasion Monday, March 26, at the airport.
As a result of a slot swap between U.S. Airways and Delta Air Lines, U.S. Airways has focused on more service to Reagan National, which it has made a hub of its operations. To get 43 more slots at Reagan National, U.S. Airways gave Delta 132 takeoff and landing slots at New York's LaGuardia Airport.

The sentencing hearing for Memphis drug kingpin Craig Petties has been delayed again – this time to June 13.
Petties had been scheduled for sentencing Friday, March 30, before Memphis Federal Court Judge Hardy Mays, but that was delayed last week.
Petties faces the possibility of life in prison from his 2009 guilty plea to drug conspiracy, racketeering and murder-for-hire charges.
A team of researchers led by Dr. Mark S. LeDoux, professor in the University of Tennessee Health Science Center's neurology department, has made a discovery that may lead to a cure for primary cervical dystonia.
Also known as spasmodic torticollis and twisted neck syndrome, the disorder affects more than a million patients worldwide. Causes are unknown but most patients first experience symptoms between ages 40 and 60.
Dystonia manifests as sustained muscle contractions and spasms that result in repetitive twisting movements and abnormal postures. The chronic neurological disorder causes the neck to involuntarily turn or tilt to the left, right, upwards or downwards. Botox injections are the most common treatment.
LeDoux and three scientists in his lab – Dr. Satya R. Vemula, Dr. Jianfeng Xiao and Dr. Yu Zhao – collaborated with Dr. Ryan J. Uitti, chair of the Department of Neurology at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., and Dr. Demetrius M. Maraganore, chair of the Department of Neurology at NorthShore University HealthSystem in Evanston, Ill. Together they identified a protein expressed in the brain that's involved in DNA synthesis and cell-cycle control.

Lifeblood is in need of platelet donors after a dip in the local supply.
The need is partly because while whole blood has a 42-day shelf life, platelets last only five days from the collection date.
The platelets are important for treating burn patients, chemotherapy patients, organ transplant recipients and victims of trauma.
The number of Americans who signed contracts to buy U.S. homes dipped in February from nearly a two-year high.
The National Association of Realtors said Monday its index of sales agreements declined 0.5 percent last month to a reading of 96.5. January's reading of 97 was the highest since April 2010, the last month buyers could qualify for a federal home-buying tax credit.
A reading of 100 or higher is considered healthy. April 2010 was also the last time it was that high.
More signings in recent months are among the signs of a slight pick-up in the housing market. Still, analysts said the decline in February report was disappointing after the three best months of hiring in two years.
Contract signings typically indicate where the housing market is headed. There's a one- to two-month lag between a signed contract and a completed deal. A sale isn't final until a mortgage is closed.
January and February made up the best winter for completed sales in five years, when the housing crisis began.

Christian Brothers University is helping the city of Memphis evaluate flood conditions.
CBU students will monitor a stormwater drainage basin at the school soccer field. A flood control system was installed under the field in 2010.
As part of the project, civil engineering students will set up a real-time monitoring system and study water quantity in the runoff. Data collected will help the city with future drainage system improvements in the Lenox Drainage District.
Dr. L. Yu Lin, civil and environmental engineering professor at the university, said the civic project will give students experience in the field and supplement classroom learning.

Motorola turns around with impressive sales
Following previous poor performances, telecommunications company Motorola has made an impressive comeback following its recent acquisition by Lenovo.
ABI Research concluded that in the second quarter of 2014, Motorola sold 8.6 million smartphones – a 2.1 million increase from the first quarter which stood at 6.5 million.
Although these figures don't stand Motorola alongside the most popular smartphone companies, such as Apple and Samsung, they are encouraging and show that sales have actually doubled since the second quarter of 2013.
Ben Wood, director of research at CCS Insight, highlighted the company's progress: "If you'd asked me about Motorola a year ago, I would have said it was on a distinct trajectory towards oblivion."
The increase in sales can be attributed, in part, to Motorola's move towards affordable handsets on the budget end of the market, including Moto G and Moto E, which have given the company a new edge. The Moto X has also played a part in bringing consumers to Motorola thanks to its software features.
"As the market for flagship smartphones has softened and a lot of people are looking at buying devices without a contract, Motorola's Moto E and G seem to have really captured the moment," added Mr Wood.
These findings come as consumers wait for a release date for Motorola's new smartphone to be confirmed, although rumours suggest that this could be within the next few weeks. It is believed that the new line up of smartphones will include the Moto X+1 and a successor to the Moto G.
Given the recent impressive increase in sales, it is likely that Motorola is on its way to continuing its growth in the future.

In Computer Science, emulation refers to the capability of a computer software or hardware to replicate the functions of another software or hardware. Hence, video game console emulators are programs that enable computers to imitate the behavior of different video game consoles such as Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), Game Boy (GB), Sega Dreamcast, and Sony PlayStation. To help you understand video game console emulators even more, you may check out this post: Play Classic Super Nintendo (SNES) Games on Ubuntu Linux.
I have here a list of some of the best video game console emulators for Linux that you can download and use for free:
I have here a list of some of the best video game console emulators for Linux that you can download and use for free:
PCSX2 is a PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator that is based on a plug-in architecture. Varying plug-ins may produce different results in both compatibility and capability. The major choke point in PS2 emulation is emulating the multi-core PS2 on PC x86 architecture because accurately synchronizing the cores is very complex. This why using multi-core CPUs such as Core 2 Duo and Core-i series are highly recommended when playing PS2 games via PCSX2. As of the moment, a number of plugins are still being developed to improve compatibility and overall performance.
ZSNES is a popular emulator of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) written mostly in x86 assembly. It is well known for being one of the first to emulate most SNES enhancement chips at some level and was the first emulator to implement the HQ2X interpolation algorithm. ZSNES is capable of running SNES games at full and accurate speed with sound and special graphic filters. It allows you to save the game at any point (known as 'savestate') by recording the console's state. ZSNES also supports advanced features such as the ability to record movies of gameplay and multiplayer gameplay over a TCP/IP network.
Gens is a Sega Genesis emulator that runs on Linux using Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL). It is said to perfectly emulate around 90% of all Genesis games making it one of the most compatible Genesis emulators available to date. The following are some of the main features of Gens:
* Support for Game Genie cheats
* Ability to save console state
* Screen save capability
* OpenGL support
* Support for Sega CD and Sega 32X games
* Supports 2xSaI (Kreed) graphics filtering
MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) is a computer program designed to emulate the hardware of arcade game systems on PCs and other platforms with a main goal of preserving gaming history by preventing classic games from being lost or consigned to oblivion. It can emulate various central processing units, audio and video specific chips, integrated circuits, RAM, data buses, storage devices, peripherals, etc. The first version of MAME was released way back 1997. Its latest version now supports more than 4500 unique games and around 9100 actual ROM image sets. However, about 1400 ROM sets are not working in the latest MAME version.
ePSXe (enhanced PSX emulator) is widely considered as the best free PlayStation emulator available to date. Like PCSX2, it utilizes plugin system to emulate GPU, SPU, and CD drive functions. PlayStation games can be loaded from the computer's CD/DVD drive or from CD images saved on the hard drive. Although ePSXe is closed source, its application-programming interface (API) for its plugins is open-source. The latest version of ePSXe can run majority of PlayStation games without a glitch and its recommended hardware requirements are not at all demanding. It features a polished user interface that is also very easy to use.

An advisory panel to the Food and Drug Administration on Thursday voted to keep the diabetes drug Avandia on the market with a slate of restrictions on its use, and suggested that although evidence of the drug's safety problems may have been overblown, Avandia's days as a blockbuster diabetes medication are probably behind it.
The vote came at the end of an extraordinary two-day meeting in which the FDA mounted a strong defense against skeptics who charged the agency had been hoodwinked about the safety of Avandia, also known by its generic name, rosiglitazone.
After the FDA ordered an independent reevaluation of a key clinical trial on Avandia's safety, a majority of the panel's members pronounced themselves reassured that the drug did not substantially increase heart attacks and deaths in those taking it. But several of the panel's experts insisted that other studies of the drug's safety had raised sufficient concerns that prescriptions should remain limited to patients with few alternatives and an understanding of Avandia's potential risks.
Currently, 3,000 Americans with Type-2 diabetes take rosiglitazone, under strictures that require physicians who prescribe the drug and pharmacies that dispense it to be certified. Patients must also demonstrate that they have been notified of the drug's potential risks and are taking it under close supervision. European regulators pulled the drug from the market in 2010, and a medication that was once the most prescribed treatment for Type-2 diabetes tumbled from its commercial perch.
Seven of the panel's 26 voting members voted Thursday to recommend that the FDA lift all of those restrictions on prescribing Avandia.
Noting that FDA restrictions have denied many diabetics who might benefit from the option of taking Avandia, the panel's lone patient representative voted to lift those strictures completely. "An overabundance of caution is not a neutral position," said Rebecca Killian in explaining her vote Thursday. "Our charge here is to be safe, but sane."
Only one panel member, Ida L. Spruill, voted to remove rosiglitazone from the U.S. market altogether. Spruill, a professor of nursing at Medical University of South Carolina, said she took Avandia for five years before being taken off the medication, and had lost confidence in the drug.
Of the 13 voting members who recommended changes to existing restrictions on those taking and prescribing Avandia, several said they did so in the hopes that Avandia's maker, GlaxoSmithKline, would conduct new safety trials with the FDA's blessing.
Tufts University cardiologist Marvin A. Konstam, who said he believed the FDA's clamp-down on rosiglitazone prescriptions was appropriate in 2010, said he "would like to see a trial," especially one that would measure Avandia's safety and effectiveness head-to-head with that of pioglitazone, a medication in the same class as Avandia.
Conducting such a safety trial, given the existing restrictions on prescribing the drug, would probably hamper recruitment -- and would convey to many potential study participants that they were potentially signing up to take a drug with a clear record of heart attack risk, several panelists said. Others, however, expressed skepticism that a new study was in the cards.
"I think that train has left the station," said Gerald van Belle, a University of Washington clinical trials specialist who voted to keep existing restrictions on rosiglitazone in place. Van Belle expressed doubt that a clinical trial of sufficient scale to dispel doubts about the drug "is feasible anymore." With a welter of newer diabetes drugs in development or new to the market, "that's where the action will be," he added.
In addition, limits on GlaxoSmithKline's rights to market Avandia without generic competition would make a major investment in new research on the medication unlikely. Since its introduction to the U.S. market in 2001, the British pharmaceutical firm has enjoyed market exclusivity, ensuring a substantial profit. But that is due to end soon.
The restrictions now in place on rosiglitazone's use were imposed in 2010. They came after a team led by Cleveland Clinic cardiologist Dr. Steven Nissen published a culling of 42 small clinical trials and found that patients taking Avandia had a 43% higher risk than those on older diabetes medication. At the same time, U.S. government investigators turned up evidence that suggested GlaxoSmithKline, which sponsored a trial to assess rosiglitazone's safety, biased the findings to discount or downplay cardiovascular events in those taking the drug.
That trial, called RECORD (short for Rosiglitazone Evaluated for Cardiovascular Outcomes and Regulation of Glycemia in Diabetes), got a thorough FDA-ordered review by a group of clinical trial experts at Duke University Medical School. The resulting "readjudication" was the centerpiece of the FDA advisory panel's deliberations this week.
While discussion occasionally turned testy, the FDA panel's two-day debate turned heavily on the fine methodological points of biomedical research. The panel's researchers and clinicians debated at length the relative weight that physicians on the front lines of medicine should give to the findings of placebo-controlled trials and so-called meta-analyses, such as those conducted by Nissen. There was widespread agreement that the RECORD trial suffered from serious flaws in design. At the same time, the practice of gathering up small studies conducted separately and distilling their findings -- the design that pointed to safety concerns in Avandia -- also came in for harsh criticism.
Following Thursday's vote, GlaxoSmithKline issued a statement thanking the panel and the FDA for its review. The company underlined that whether the evaluation team used standards in place at the time of the RECORD trial or new ones embraced by the FDA, the original findings of the company-sponsored research -- that heart attacks and deaths did not increase among those taking Avandia -- held.
"We continue to believe that Avandia is a safe and effective treatment option for Type-2 diabetes when used for the appropriate patient and in accordance with labeling," said Dr. James Shannon, the company's chief scientific officer.

After 14 months in temporary quarters, the U.S. Department of Energy is returning to its Oak Ridge home.
A few dozen DOE employees last week began moving back to the Joe L. Evins Federal Building, getting the all-clear after a yearlong asbestos cleanup project. By the end of September, about 450 federal and contractor workers will be working in the agency's long-standing field office in the Atomic City.
For many of the government employees, there was one sentiment: it's about time.
"It has been a hassle," John Shewairy, DOE's assistant manager for administration, said during a tour of the five-story, 154,000-square foot building. "A lot of folks have been in this building for 30 years. This is their home."
They were forced to leave in a rush in June 2012 after flaking asbestos was found in areas connected to the building's heating and air-conditioning system. For the first few days after the discovery, agency's Oak Ridge leadership team worked out of makeshift offices to keep things running while more space — including leased offices just down the street — was acquired for the extended cleanup period.
The temporary arrangements weren't ideal, Shewairy noted. In some cases, more than one employee had to share a cubicle, he said. But he praised the spirit and attitude of the workforce.
"We have been exceptionally pleased and fortunate that folks have understood the situation we're in and worked together," the federal official said. "There has been absolutely no complaining. It has taken a little longer than what people would think. But safety is the most important thing … We were dealing with a very serious situation with asbestos and we were not coming back into this building until everything that needed to be addressed was addressed."
According to Scott McGill, DOE's facilities manager in Oak Ridge, the Federal Building is as clean as it's been in years. "Every dust bunny (is gone)," he said.
The U.S. General Services Administration, which owns the building, took responsibility for the $2.4 million cleanup, and Shewairy said the GSA made things as easy as possible for DOE. The Department of Energy actually saved money during cleanup by not having to pay rent on the Federal Building and that money — more than $1.5 million — was used to remodel the building for new uses and about 100 additional employees.
DOE spokesman Ben Williams said the telecommunications system in the Federal Building was upgraded during the interim.
The agency's environmental management team, which had been located in the DOE-owned 2714 Complex a few hundred yards away, will now move into the Federal Building. That will free up space at 2714 for other DOE employees, including the Office of Inspector General staff. That, in turn, will allow DOE get out of leased space elsewhere in Oak Ridge and save about $110,000 a month.
GSA spokeswoman Tina Jaegerman said the cleanup project was a success.
"One of GSA's key priorities is to provide safe facilities for federal agencies and for the American people," she said in an email response to question. "The asbestos abatement at the Oak Ridge Federal Building is an example of us doing just that. In June 2012, when the asbestos was identified, GSA responded promptly making the decision to engage in a full and safe abatement to eliminate any concerns to our tenants and stakeholders."
Shewairy said the plans to consolidate DOE workers at the Federal Building were underway even before the asbestos was found during a June 2012 inspection. The effort was part of the Obama administration's mandate for federal agencies to reduce the number of commercial leases where possible as a cost-cutting measure.
After the Inspector General's staff and other employees are moved to the 2714 Complex by the end of November, DOE's Oak Ridge office will have only one commercial lease, Shewairy said. That is a lease that DOE's shares for a Joint Information Center in Powell, which the agency would use for communications during emergencies.

The fee-based Science Citation Index now has some competition from the new, free SJR-SCImago Journal & Country rank system. This new service utilizes data from Elsevier's subscription based Scopus database to provide a free source of scholarly journal rankings. Scholars now have an alternative to the previously unchallenged "impact factor" method of comparing the relative importance of journals. The SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) can be used as alternative means of determining the measure of a journal's citation impact. SCImago works by using an algorithm similar to Google's PageRank. Unlike the Impact Factor, SCImago weighs citations from journals according to how highly cited each journal is. Whereas in the standard impact factor approach, every citation has an equal weight. The beauty of the weighted approach by SCImago is that more highly weighted journals such as Nature or New England Journal of Medicine will rank higher. Another difference between the Impact Factor and the SJR is that the SJR calculation looks at citations from a three year period. Because of this, the SJR is a more consistent indicator of trends than impact factors which can vary significantly from year to year.
One major disadvantage of SJR is that the current coverage period for country and journal indicators is only 1996-2007.
You can search SCImago by journal title, keyword, subject and country. You can even create graphs that compare journal titles and export data to Excel.
Here's what the information looks like for the Journal of Advanced Nursing.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- After starting quarterback Jeff Driskel was lost to a season-ending ankle injury, Tyler Murphy led No. 19 Florida to five scores in a somewhat ugly game, helping the Gators open Southeastern Conference play with a 31-17 victory over Tennessee on Saturday.
Murphy had a 52-yard touchdown throw to Solomon Patton, a swing pass that went the distance, and made several plays with his legs as Florida (2-1, 1-0 SEC) won its ninth consecutive game in the series.
Murphy's 7-yard TD scamper in the fourth quarter made it 31-10 and sent fans scrambling for the exits.
The Volunteers (2-2, 0-1) had hoped to rebound from an embarrassing, 59-14 loss at No. 2...

SAN DIEGO -- A 15-hour standoff between SWAT officers and an armed man inside a home in the suburb of La Mesa ended early Tuesday when the suspect was found dead of an apparent suicide, authorities said.
Several nearby homes were evacuated after a man inside the home, believed to be armed with a rifle, a shotgun and two handguns, fired multiple shots, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department said.
A woman and three teenagers inside the home had fled after a domestic dispute between the woman and the 47-year-old man, authorities said.
Unable to contact the man via a bullhorn or cellular phone, SWAT officers surrounded the home. A non-lethal device was used to fill the home with smoke, officials said.
Later, a robot was deployed around 1 a.m., which found the man dead in a bedroom, the victim of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot, officials said.
The county medical examiner will determine the identity of the suspect and his cause of death.

Bar & Grill Style: Condiment and Utensil Caddies
Bar and grill establishments are great for grabbing a casual drink with friends, but they're not usually at the top of our list when it comes to style inspiration for home dining. We think they're on to something though with the tabletop caddies for various condiments and utensils. Here are four restaurant-inspired caddies that we'd be happy to have on our table, especially as grilling season approaches.
The tabletop caddies at many bar and grill-type places are nothing more than empty six-pack boxes. You could certainly go that route for a party or a picnic, maybe with a nicely designed craft beer or soda box.
Here are four more permanent pieces that could be used for condiments, utensils, napkins or drinks.
- Utensil Holder/Condiment Tray from Crate and Barrel, $9.95 - $12.95
- Galvanized Metal Triple Condiment Server from Pottery Barn, $29
- Nito Condiment Caddy from Williams-Sonoma, $44
- Red Drink Caddy from World Market, $14.99

The renaissance began with a large scale replanting of the vineyards using virus-free clones imported from France, followed by sweeping renovations to the winery and the hiring of new viticultural and winemaking teams. As Wine Spectator recently observed, "Rustenberg has all the qualifications of a world-class wine estate: a long history of winemaking…and ideal terroir, with deep-red, clay-rich granite soils that are located on a variety of slopes and elevations." Rustenberg has achieved tremendous critical and commercial success, and today the celebrated estate's bottlings are among South Africa's most iconic and sought-after wines.

$291,000 Grant to Keokuk, Iowa, for Sewer Project
Release Date: 05/28/2013
Contact Information: Kris Lancaster, 913-551-7557, firstname.lastname@example.com (news media only)
Environmental News
(Lenexa, Kan., May 28, 2013) - EPA Region 7 has awarded $291,000 to the City of Keokuk, Iowa, for improvements to its sewer system. The project is expected to be completed by the fall of 2014.
EPA Region 7 Administrator Karl Brooks said, "The grant will improve aging water infrastructure and spearhead new projects that will reduce sewer overflows and improve water quality. These water infrastructure funds will help fund a construction project which is estimated to cost $5.4 million."
The purpose of the project is to construct new sanitary and storm sewer systems, which will eliminate four sewer overflows. The new sewer will provide adequate capacity for both current and anticipated future flows.
Keokuk is one of 10 Iowa cities that have combined sewer systems. These systems typically use one pipe that combines sanitary sewer and storm sewer to the wastewater treatment plants during normal rainfall. However, during rainfall, this system sometimes overflows into nearby streams.
A long-term strategy has been developed to eliminate six combined sewer overflows in Keokuk that drain either into the Mississippi River or Soap Creek.
EPA oversees the protection of water quality and public health. The Agency is working with community leaders and the public to meet the growing needs and demands of limited water resources. EPA remains committed to developing innovative and sustainable solutions for managing and financing infrastructure with public and private partners.

I would be more than happy to sign a petition. I think this is a good
idea and more tactful than a boycott.

[mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] On Behalf Of Robert Buckley

Subject: [Videolib] Fox new policy
I have been following the postings on this new policy and I wanted to
offer some background and offer a suggestion on how to deal with it. I
have some experience dealing with the major studios.
This policy is most likely a reaction to Redbox and other discount
retailers. Redbox rents for $1 a day, and the studio sees no revenue
other than the initial purchase (which is usally about 60% of the
opening retail price, not $8 like someone said). These discounted
rentals are taking a huge bite out of their sales. Another studio,
Universal, tried to cut off Redbox's supply of new movies and got sued
in return. Fox is undoubtedly trying a different approach in the hope
that consumers will seek out the version with all the bells and
whistles. As we have seen, this will probably fail and just piss
everyone off. The real issue is whether Fox will try to get the rental
vendors to pay more for the rental version of the video. The studios
can't legally get together and do something like this, but Fox is
probably hoping other studios do the same, then they try to raise
prices. This new policy has nothing to do with saving money, if
anything, keeping two different versions with different covers, etc. is
going to cost them money. It is about preserving their sell-through
Here is a suggestion on what to do. Don't organize a boycott, those
things are very difficult to organize and seldom effective. But
organize a petition. I am sure Fox does not want to be known as the
studio that made life difficult for libraries and universities. Get a
petition going and get as many institutions to sign it as possible.
Explain why the policy is the wrong thing to do and ask them to change
it. Issue a press release and turn up the heat a little. Politely
suggest to Fox that they make an exemption for non-profit renters that
are not making money at their expense (whether libraries cost them money
is a different story but it is unlikely they want to take that issue
Hope that helps.

CFNAI Indicates Strong Economic Growth in February
The Chicago Fed National Activity Index was +0.39 in February, little changed from a downward-revised reading of +0.40 in January. February was the sixth straight month in which the CFNAI was positive. As in January, production-related data accounted for the bulk of February's strength. In contrast, the contribution from employment-related measures turned from a small positive to a small negative. The three-month moving average, CFNAI-MA3, fell to +0.29 in February from +0.43 in the previous month. CFNAI-MA3 readings above zero are associated with above-trend economic growth; accordingly, the CFNAI-MA3 value of +0.29 suggests that growth in national economic activity was above its historical trend in February. With regard to inflation, CFNAI-MA3 values above zero suggest increased inflationary pressures over the coming year.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Babson broke open a scoreless game with two runs in the fourth inning and went on to score in five of the last six innings on its way to a 12-0 victory over MIT in New England Women's and Men's baseball action this afternoon. The Beavers also received outstanding pitching from junior Kyle Lyon (Flemington, N.J.), who hurled a complete game shutout.
Babson (6-5, 2-2 NEWMAC) loaded the bases with two outs in the third inning, but MIT starter, sophomore Kiel Jindra (Oceanside, Calif.), came through with a strikeout to end the threat. The Beavers came right back in the fourth, loading the bases again, this time with one away. Junior Pat Matvichuk (Middleton, Mass.) lofted a sacrifice fly to right to score the first run, with a second run coming across when the throw from the outfield was cut off and thrown back into center field in an attempt to get the runner at second.
Babson then broke it open in the fifth, scoring four times. With one away senior Travis Jonasson (Needham, Mass.) drove a ball over the wall in right to start the scoring. The Beavers then scored the rest of their runs with two outs, starting it off with a double from senior Billy Miller (Sagamore Beach, Mass.) that was the first of four straight hits. Junior Conor Kortmann (Manalapan, N.J.) brought him in with a single before scoring on a two-base hit to center off the bat of senior Sean Cleary (Milton, Mass.). Junior John Botelho (Tempe, Ariz.) finished the outburst with an RBI single to right.
MIT (5-6, 0-4 NEWMAC) could never mount a serious threat against Lyon, who allowed just six hits and a walk while striking out 11. The Engineers only had two runners on just once in the game, in the bottom of the seventh when senior Bryan Macomber (Los Altos, Calif.) and sophomore Creed Mangrum (Sandy, Utah) started the inning with back-to-back singles. Lyon came back to strikeout the next MIT hitter and then induced a double play to end the threat.
Babson went on to score a single run in the sixth, three in the seventh, and two more in the ninth. Kortmann and Miller each had three hits for the Beavers, with Kortmann driving in two and scoring three times, with Miller scoring twice. Jonasson led Babson with three RBI. Mangrum had a pair of hits to lead MIT.
MIT and Babson will complete their three-game NEWMAC series tomorrow with a doubleheader at Babson that will start at Noon.

A person familiar with the decision tells The Associated Press that associate coach Chris Walker will be the interim head coach at Texas Tech, replacing Billy Gillispie.
The person spoke Thursday on condition of anonymity because a formal announcement had not been made.
Gillispie resigned Sept. 20, citing health concerns and with the university investigating allegations that he mistreated some of his players. He led the Red Raiders to a 8-23 record in his only season in Lubbock.
Walker came to the program this year after two seasons at his alma mater Villanova, where he was an assistant under Jay Wright.
He has 16 years of collegiate coaching experience, including four teams that went to the NCAA tournament.

(AP) – A man suspected of killing a California woman and her young son before fleeing with her 16-year-old daughter was killed in the Idaho wilderness Saturday. The teen, Hannah Anderson, was found safe, but authorities said her abductor, 40-year-old James Lee DiMaggio, was killed in a shootout with law enforcement. This is how the story developed:
Aug. 4: Authorities near San Diego find the burned bodies of 42-year-old Christina Anderson and a child after extinguishing flames at James Lee DiMaggio's rural home. An Amber Alert is issued for Anderson's two children, Hannah, 16, and Ethan, 8.
Aug. 7: Oregon state police say there was a possible sighting of DiMaggio's blue Nissan Versa in northeast California near the city of Alturas.
Aug. 7: Shortly after the sighting near Alturas, Calif., the Nissan is spotted again 50 miles away along the same highway near Lakeview, in south-central Oregon.
Aug. 9: Idaho authorities locate the car belonging to the suspect at a trailhead near Cascade, Idaho. San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore also said that a man on horseback reported seeing two people matching the description of the suspect and girl near Morehead Lake about eight miles inside the boundary of the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness. The rider reports the girl appeared healthy and was not being held against her will.
Aug. 9: A coalition of local, state and federal law enforcement teams begin combing a 300-square-mile area of the rugged, remote wilderness area. The search is initially done on foot. Explosive teams, initially concerned DiMaggio may have rigged his car with explosives, conclude there is no risk.
Aug. 9: Authorities in California positively identify the child's body found in the fire as that of the teen's younger brother, Ethan.
Aug. 10: More law enforcement teams are dispatched to Cascade to help in the search. Police also set up a series of checkpoints at trailheads throughout the area and question other hikers leaving the wilderness area.
Aug. 10: Authorities report that DiMaggio and the teen were spotted from the air at a campsite near Morehead Lake. DiMaggio was killed in the shootout; Anderson was rescued unharmed and taken to a hospital.
Aug. 10: FBI agents release few details of the encounter with DiMaggio, citing policy to investigate all details before, during and after any encounter when an agent fires a weapon. Anderson is expected to be reunited with her father, Brett Anderson, on Sunday.

Copyright And The First Amendment: Lack Of Satire Coverage Leads To Stifling Of Speech
from the what's-wrong-with-satire dept
Copyright litigator Ray Dowd recently discussed this issue in questioning the famous Ninth Circuit decision back in 1997 that more or less set the ground rules here, Dr. Seuss vs. Penguin Books about whether or not a book called The Cat Not In the Hat was protected fair use. The court ruled that it was not, because the work was satire -- and since it used the Dr. Seuss characters not to comment on Dr. Seuss or "the cat in the hat," but to comment on the OJ Simpson trial, that it was not protected under fair use. As Dowd notes, this would seem likely to stifle political speech:
So if I want to draw former President George W. Bush as Mickey Mouse and parody him by placing him in a Mickey/Minnie scenario, by this logic Disney can stop me from engaging in this core political speech because I am not making fun of Mickey, only of the former President.Along those lines, the EFF is now expressing concern over the recent ruling in favor of Don Henley against a California Senatorial candidate, Chuck DeVore. In his advertising, DeVore used a couple reworkings of Henley songs ("The Hope of November" and "All She Wants to Do Is Tax," which were versions of Henley's "The Boys of Summer" and "All She Wants to Do Is Dance"). The court, as in the Dr. Seuss case, noted that since DeVore's use was not parodying Henley, there was no fair use. As the EFF points out, this makes little sense, and leads to some questionable outcomes:
How to permit political speech, promote creativity and maximize economic welfare for both copyright creators and society in general are questions implicated in these debates, with the cultural pendulum slowly swinging towards the Remix culture camp. There are a few signs that legal culture is moving in that direction, with judges taking a more expansive view of fair use.
The videos were core political speech, the most protected form of speech under the First Amendment. Yet the court blocked them, relying on copyright law. What happened?So at what point do the courts (or Congress) realize that not only is this distinction pointless, but also that this is a clear situation where these so-called "safety valves" to protect the First Amendment are not working. Political speech is being denied due to a law from Congress (who, we are told, "shall make no [such] law").
The trouble is the misguided way that some courts have distinguished "parody" from "satire" in when measuring fair use. "Parody," in the world of copyright, means using a work in order to comment on the work itself (or its creator). Parody gets a wide berth under fair use. So, for example, when 2 Live Crew famously sent-up Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman," the Supreme Court found that the use was permitted. A "satire," in contrast, involves using a work to comment on something other than the work itself.

X-Ring Newsletter
Technical Newsletter From Your Ballistic TechniciansVolume 5, Issue 3
Sportsman Team Challenge
Over 60 three person teams competed in the 10th Annual Sportsman Team Challenge held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in April. The STC is a combination of 6 separate events; 3 shotgun events, rimfire rifle, combo (rimfire rifle and rimfire pistol) and handgun (rimfire and centerfire pistol). Teams consist of 3 shooters. Categories are Open, Sportsman, and Industry with other categories within those categories. The STC will be aired on ESPN this fall. For more information on where you can shoot one of the STC Regionals which are held across the country, call or write the NSSF at 11 Mile Hill Road, Newtown, Ct. 06470-2359. Phone is 203-426-2359. When the smoke cleared and the shot had settled, Sierra/Starline had two teams in the winners circle. For the 4th year in a row, the top Open Team was Sierra/Starline. This team consists of David Tubb, Doug Koenig, and Michael Plaxco. The top Junior Team for two years running was Sierra/Starline-The Next Generation. This team consists of Hunter Pilant (16), Cory Galloway (15), and Eric Bowling (14). Congratulations to both teams.
Need a Ruler Man?
The technicians at Sierra are called upon occasionally to answer the question (and sometimes settle a bet among friends) on how to properly measure a group size. The most widely used method is to measure the outside diameter of your group and subtract one bullet diameter. This will give you the group size based upon your two widest shots. You can utilize a set of vernier calipers or get elaborate and use one of the overlay templates that the Benchrest fraternity utilizes to ensure accuracy to the thousandth of an inch. If you do need a ruler to measure your groups give us a call, maybe we can help!
Bianchi Cup
The 20th Annual Bianchi Cup match was held in May at the Green Valley Rifle and Pistol Club in Hallsville, Missouri. This prestigious match attracts shooters from all over the world. The match consists of 4 stages; mover, falling plates, practical, and barricade plus several side events. This year Doug Koenig won it with a score of 1920 with 180 x's. A perfect score is 1920 with 192x's. Doug is not a newcomer to this match, having won it in 1990 and 1992. Doug used the Sierra 9mm 115 gr. JHP bullets. The Bianchi Cup will be aired on American Shooter on August 15. Congratulations Doug for some superb shooting.
I Can't Get That Velocity
by Carroll Pilant
We often get calls from shooters concerned because their firearms velocities don't match our manual. Quite often they are wondering if they should keep increasing their powder charge until the velocities match our manuals. NO! Each gun is an individual, Many will never get that velocity safely due to several reasons, including: barrel length, case used, seating depth, throat length, primers, powder, actual bore dimensions, neck tension and other reasons. Any one or a combination of these factors can make a difference. The velocity we have listed is for that individual rifle with those components. If your rifle is 100 fps slower or faster, it is not necessarily a problem. Do not try to work up a load by velocity only. Velocity may be something you are having to look at, (such as making sure your bullet will be super sonic at 1000 yards or make major), but make sure you are within safe pressure limits first. If you need to, try a different combination, like a slower powder or a different bullet. Accept the fact that you may have a slow firearm, that doesn't mean it will not shoot well. (Who knows, you may have a fast one.)
|The BlitzKing bullets have been very successful during the short time they have been produced and we predict continued success. The ballistic coefficient for the 50 grain is .238, and the 55 grain is .263. A ballistic coefficient for the 40 grain will be announced in the next X-Ring. Ballistic coefficients that are velocity specific will follow as soon as we can obtain them. Loading data for the BlitzKings will be the same as shown in our manual for the other lines of bullets of the same weight. We anticipate that the 40 grain will be an exceptional varmint bullet due to a higher than normal ballistic coefficient/velocity combination. Reports from the field are showing exceptional accuracy along with predictable fragmentation always needed by varmint hunters.

Novice seeks advice. Flat bar vs Mountain Bike w/ slicks
Postby benal » Thu Oct 04, 2007 3:33 pm
I'm sick of staring at the wall of the gym and pedalling nowhere fast.
I'm looking for my first 'real' bike which I want to use for getting to work once or twice a week (10km round trip) the gym twice a week (10km round trip) and a longer ride with fitness in mind on the weekend. Maybe even ride with my surfboard down to the beach too. I only have a BMX at the moment and it's way too slow.
I've been hunting around for a bike for about 2 weeks now but I've run into a problem. I've established that I don't want a hybrid, because it's been suggested a MTB with slicks would be equally as good. So I think my options are as follows: a) a flat bar road bike (probably the Giant CRX4) or b) a mountain bike fitted with slicks (probably a Giant Rincon) or c) buy an old racing bike from the notice board at uni.
I'm a uni student and am therefore on a budget which'll probably max out at around $600 (give or take).
What option should I take? What I'm really asking is to learn from your mistakes/experience. Bare in mind this'll be my first real bike.

If you get a good deal (good condition bike, reasonable price), you'll get a bike moer than suitable for your current purposes, and you'll save a fair bit of dosh, which can be put toward a dream bike, rather than the entry level machine you'd be looking at with your current budget.
And getting it 2nd hand doesn't mean it's gonna be junk. Just exercise some good judgement, there are plenty of excellent older bikes out there going for a song, which I'd happily ride everywhere.

Cheers and welcome to the forum,
you'll NEED a helmet, and lights if you're riding in low light conditions (not just dark, but any lighting that would impair visibility),
other items really are optional... gloves aren't necessary for your short distances, any longer they're nice to have, if only for something to wipe perspiration off with... pump is a must, and spare tube and patch kit you hope you never have to use but don't awnt to risk not having one... glasses don't t hurt, keeps the wind and dust out of your eyes, plus shades if it's bright... jersey/knicks/shorts/jacket/warmers... and etc etc etc, the money spent can easily blow into ridiculous proportions ... i know from experience !

Gloves can aid your comfort while riding and aren't really necessary for short rides, but they do make one hell of a difference to your comfort after a prang and therefore, I pull them on when I put on my helmet (which I wear for similar reasons, NOT because it's compulsory).
Apart from that, get an old roadie and start riding that around. It'll give you a chance to get fit and to work out what sort of riding you genuinely want to do (and that will always be different to what you think). Once you've bought your dream bike based on that new information, the old roadie will still be there as a back up and as something to ride to places where you don't want to leave the good bike. They're like an old pair of boots, you can't for the life of you work out why you've still got them but they're invaluable to the way you live your life.

In any accident, the first thing you do is put your hands out to cushion the impact. Bitumen and hands are not a good combination. In the bingle I had on the Black Beast, the palms of my gloves had quite a bit of leather abraded from them ... and none from my hands.
Fair point. Myself, I tend to use my arms to cushion, and lift my hands at the wrists before impact, so instead of the palms, i get the gravel rash on the inside of my arms instead. Must be ingrained habit from lots of falls in high school sport, and also music - protect the hands no matter what (grazed arms you still can play, grazed hand hurts like heck in basketball)

I love your confidence Stryker84. I have fallen without gloves and not being able to use my hands for a few weeks due to the grazing was not fun. Worse so when you're a student and you need to be able to take notes ......
Glasses are not optional in my opinion. I need my eyesight for all the ways I can make money to live. My glasses are safety glasses first, sunnies or clear second. A rock flicked up by an oncoming car with a closing speed of ~100kmh will blind you before you knew it was there. Ever broken a windscreen in your car from a rock? Imagine the same rock if the windscreen weren't there. The good news is that medium impact safety glasses can be bought for about $30. My eyesight is worth somewhat more.

I did look at the Avanti Blade and thought it very good for what I needed. Only got turned off by the fact that very few "Local Bike Shops" stock avanti (I've learnt that LBS stands for the same long had I just recited ... yeah I'm learning quick).
As for the rest of you helpful folks. I'm leaning toward agreeing with you. I'm probably not in the position of hind-sight to workout what I really need. A cheap 'learner' bike (I guess slightly like a late 80s model corolla for the learner or provisional liscence car driver) would cover most of my basic needs whilst leaving plenty of room for education and improvement.
Should I approach this second hand (possibly corroded given I go to uni in wollongong - near the beach - and I live in Cronulla - near the beach) as a work in progress?
I'll type that again as my !! BAN ME NOW FOR SWEARING !! writing style misconstrues what I want to write ... Should I approach this bike as a "work in progress" ... learn how to maintain and fix a bike, as well as learn what I want from a bike and how to ride it?
Well and to cover bases ... if for instance I can't find a suitable older road bike, should I just bite the bullet and get a beautiful new bike?
This is my first forum ... wow you guys work fast. I checked the "read first" category on the forum page before posting this topic ... and I saw the all rounder bike (it was given some fancy francais name - I do watch le tour religiously but didn't pick up on le french terminology), that bike seemed what I needed and I link what I've learnt from you fellas to that bike. I.e. a hot rodded basic bike.

However, budget for accessories is NOT an issue. My younger brother was an avid mountain biker when he was in bush boarding school in yr 9 (he is finishing NSW yr 12 this year though). So he has all the repair kits and pumps, as well as a KILLER mountain bike. I'll tax those. I own a helmet.
Thankyou though.

I know I sound overzellous with my three successive posts but I really want to ride. I used to be swimmer and since I got bored of the black line in the middle of the lane i've been looking for a much more interesting active past time/fitness regime. I fell in love with bike riding on a 24 hr endurance exercise during yr 11 of high school (15km trek, 60km bike and 50km kayak ... I think ... can't remember the exact numbers but it was a 4am til 4am deal in the foot hills of the blue mountains ... windsor/somerset for those who know the area).
I love how responsive you fellas are to my whims. I promise to return the favour once I build my knowledge base (admittedly with your help/my experience once I get on the road).
also excuse the gramatical/spelling errors (i think there's one there) but i'm not feeling like whipping out the dictionary. thanks

But Id side with our Grandmaster Richard..
With saying YOU NEED SUNGLASSES..
Going down a road (AT) speed then having the possibility of having something in my eyes is something I DO NOT WANT TO CONTEMPLATE.
Gloves are important too...
Not just for protection...
Depending on the bike you get, you may not like the handlebar grips that come with it, they might be a bit hard...
Depending on the roads you are on, the palms of your hands can take a real beating..
Gloves provide extra padding/support so your hands are spared from the pressures of bumps and the forces induced on your handmeat from heavy braking.
Hope you get a decent bike soon, and enjoy riding!
Standard except for Serfas Drifters Road tyres..

I think I came across wrong. By optional, I mean, not needed to actually PHYSICALLY or LEGALLY ride your bike.
That's why ESSENTIALS, helmet - legal reasons, lights - legal reasons, if after dark, pump /tube/patch - bike don't move very well if tyre is flat. And a lock (could be optional, if you never leave it outside, but OP's needs suggest otherwise)
others are OPTIONALS - sure they're great to have, to improve comfort/safety/performance, but really, how many thousands ride without them and never have any problems ever?
Hope this clears things up. Cheers!

There are plenty of newish bikes on ebay where you could visit a lbs to get and idea of the size you need before the auction ends. If you go down this route please support that lbs with future purchases.

As a hybrid rider here are my views. Flat Bar, hybrid or mountain will all do the job.
Flat Bar and hybrids are very similar
Same wheel diametre but different tyres thicknesses.
Hybrids have front shockies flat bars don't. The shockies are good for droping off kerbs onto the road.
Seated position is slightly different.
One thing that a hybrid does come with is an adjustable handle bar stem. This allows you to adjust the handle bars to a height that suits you. It also allows you to change your position as you get more comfortable.
Upgrade the NCL now QR!!!!!!

Well, I wanted a cornerback. The Dolphins got one.
The club just used the 54th overall selection and their only second round pick to draft Boise State cornerback Jamar Taylor.
Taylor is 5-11 and 192 pounds. He's a three-year starter at Boise. He's supposed to have great instincts.
It's really exciting. I'm happy coaches gave me a shot and look forward to coming down there and contributing to the team," Taylor said.
He said he loves playing man defense. He said he looks forward to helping the team.
"I don't know how it's going to work out," Taylor said. "I'm going to go down there and try to contribute and and do whatever the coaches tell me."
Taylor says he plays like he's got "a dog in me."
"I play with a swagger. I play kind of chippy. I love to talk stuff," he said.

Stars edge Sharks for fifth straight winby Steve Hunt
DALLAS -- A fast start and a big performance by their backup goaltender were enough to move the Dallas Stars into the final playoff berth in the Western Conference.
Eric Nystrom and rookie Alex Chiasson gave Dallas a two-goal lead seven minutes into the game and Richard Bachman made 31 saves as the Stars earned their fifth straight victory by beating the San Jose Sharks 2-1 at American Airlines Center on Saturday night.
The victory gives the Stars 45 points, the same as the Detroit Red Wings and Columbus Blue Jackets. Dallas has more non-overtime victories than the Red Wings and has played one fewer game than the Blue Jackets.
The Stars, who returned home after a 5-2 road victory against the Nashville Predators on Friday, made the most of an early burst of energy before hanging on.
"We got out to a decent start and got those two goals, but you could see at the end we were hanging on a little bit," coach Glen Gulutzan said. "It speaks to the character of the guys to gut it out."
San Jose outshot Dallas 32-19, including 13-5 in the third period, but Brent Burns had the lone goal for San Jose, scoring off a rebound with the Sharks on the power play at 5:56 of the final period.
Sharks coach Todd McLellan said his team paid the price for its poor start.
"We've got to play every minute of all 60 as hard as we can. I thought that was probably our downfall tonight," McLellan said. "We probably gave away 13 or 14 minutes of valuable time and it cost us."
Nystrom gave Dallas an early lead by scoring his seventh of the season from the left circle 1:57 into the game. Nystrom beat Sharks goaltender Antti Niemi -- who made his 19th straight start -- low on the glove side with a wrister that glanced off the far post before landing in the back of the net.
Chiasson then lit the lamp for the Stars at 7:00, redirecting a long-range shot by Ray Whitney into the net for his sixth goal in six games since being called up from the Texas Stars of the American Hockey League last week. Dallas was on the power play for the second time in the game after San Jose's Raffi Torres had been whistled for interference at 6:38. Chiasson then deflected Whitney's blast, sending it first off the left post before going in to make it 2-0.
"Of course, this is incredible," Chiasson said of the fast start to his NHL career. "I try not to pay attention to the stats. I think I just concentrate on my game. This is great for us. We're right there right now, right in eighth place."
Bachman started and won for the second time in as many nights. He has stopped 79 of 82 shots since coming on for starter Kari Lehtonen, who suffered a groin injury late in the first period of a 5-1 win against the Los Angeles Kings on Monday.
"Obviously, you need good goaltending and he's been way better than good," Nystrom said of Bachman's performances. "He's been excellent."
The Stars earned their third power play of the night at 7:18 of the second when Martin Havlat was guilty of high-sticking Dallas defenseman Alex Goligoski. Thirty-two seconds later, Loui Eriksson looked to make it a 3-0 game for Dallas, attempting to slip a 12-foot backhander inside the right post only to be foiled by Niemi's glove.
San Jose finally went on the power play for the first time at 10:48 when Stephane Robidas was called for hooking. The Sharks generated several quality chances, forcing Bachman to come up with three huge saves within a nine-second span. Bachman stopped Joe Thornton's long wrister with a pad save at 11:42, then denied Joe Pavelski and finished the impressive sequence by stopping a 12-foot backhander by Patrick Marleau off a rebound before covering the puck.
"I thought he made some solid saves," Gulutzan said of Bachman's performance. "He cleaned up a lot of the stuff in from of him. I thought our D did a good job of keeping guys away from him. He was real solid for us."
The teams combined for just 13 shots in the second period and Dallas held its 2-0 advantage after 40 minutes of play.
"I think we responded decently well in the third period," Sharks forward TJ Galiardi said. "Just the second we weren't really playing our game. We didn't have any sustained pressure and that's a recipe for disaster."
At 3:14 of the third, Sharks defenseman Dan Boyle lost possession near the San Jose blue line, but Niemi made a pad save on a long wrister by Ryan Garbutt to keep it 2-0.
San Jose finally got on the board when Burns scored off a power-play rebound. Bachman denied Galiardi's initial shot, but the ensuing rebound glanced off the right skate of Eriksson and found its way to Burns, who backhanded it into the net for his seventh of the season.
"I think we knew that going into the third that we were going to get one shot, put it in and they'd be on their heels a bit," Galiardi said. "Just a shame it didn't come a little earlier so we had a little more time. A couple minutes more in that game we come back and tie it up. But that's just the way the game is. You only get 60 minutes."
Niemi left the ice with 60 seconds remaining in regulation and the Sharks spent most of that time in the Dallas zone but couldn't beat Bachman. Marleau had a couple of chances, but Bachman stopped his wrister with four seconds left and another chance went wide.
The Stars appeared to be ready to throw in the towel when they dealt three veterans before the NHL Trade Deadline. Instead, they've gone on a run that has them in the top eight with two weeks remaining in the season.
"I think we are starting to carve out an identity and figuring out why we are successful," Nystrom said. "There's a certain way we have to play. We are not a high-risk team. When we tried that earlier in the year we just got picked apart.
"Now we are playing a more straight-line game. We're getting pucks in, we're getting bodies to the net and we're paying the price. That's what it takes to win. The best teams might have more skill, but they are still doing those little things that make the difference between winning and losing. We're finding the way of what that takes."
