The Ferris State University women's basketball squad had its season come to a close on Friday (March 6) evening as the Bulldogs fell to nationally-ranked Michigan Tech 71-53 in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Tournament Semifinals at Houghton, Mich.
The Bulldogs led by six points only four minutes into the contest and trailed 18th-ranked MTU by six (41-35) at halftime. However, the top-seeded Huskies outscored FSU 30-18 over the final 20 minutes to advance to the GLIAC Tournament Championship game.
Ferris concluded the year with a 13-15 overall record after winning seven of its final nine contests. The loss marked the second-straight year FSU finished the season with a setback in the tournament semifinals inside MTU's Student Development Complex Gymnasium.
The Bulldogs had only one player reach double-figure scoring in senior forward/center Ashley Fleming. She totaled 16 points and five rebounds in her final collegiate contest.
Three other FSU seniors also wrapped up their careers in Jenna Guay, Caitlin Hutchison and Teghan Thelen. Together, the quartet helped FSU to a four-year record of 71-46 by combining for more than 2,600 points and nearly 1,400 rebounds.
In addition to Fleming's 16 points, the Bulldogs also received eight points apiece from both Guay and junior center Andrea Clancy.
The Bulldogs shot 50% (13-26) to remain close in the opening half, but made only seven-of-24 (29.2%) second-half attempts to finish at 40% (20-50) for the contest. Ferris was five-of-11 (45.5%) behind the three-point line and eight-of-14 (57.1%) at the stripe.
The Huskies shot 46.6% (27-58) for the game and made eight-of-20 (40%) three-pointers to go with a perfect nine-of-nine (100%) showing at the free throw line.
MTU had four players reach double-digit scoring. Katie Wysocky tallied a game-high 17 points and 17 rebounds to lead the way. Danae Danen added 14 points, Lynn Giesler totaled 13 points off the bench and Katie Zimmerman hit four treys to finish with 12 points.
Michigan Tech also owned a 39-26 rebounding edge and had 13 offensive boards in the contest. The Huskies netted 19 assists, six steals and two blocked shots with 14 turnovers.
FSU also turned the ball over 14 times and recorded 12 assists, nine steals and four blocked shots.
With the win, MTU improved to 24-5 overall this season and will take on the winner of the second semifinal between second-seeded Hillsdale and Grand Valley State on Saturday (March 7) evening in the title game starting at 5 p.m. (EST).
The Bulldogs were making their 10th consecutive and 11th overall berth in the GLIAC Tournament. FSU upset third-seeded Northwood by a 73-48 count on Tuesday (March 3) evening at Midland to reach the semifinals for the third-straight season.
Including Friday's season-ending loss, FSU was led on the bench in its final five games of the season by assistant coach Crystal Harris, who filled in for head coach Tracey Dorow after the birth of her first child.

Yes... and what extra limitations on FAT32 can we expect in Vista?
For what values of fine is putting 32GB of data on a FAT32 file system a good idea?
When you've got 32GB of data you want to share between your Windows install and your Linux install. Say, your MP3 collection?
Put this [fs-driver.org] on your Windows install and make your common data-storage area ext2 or ext3 instead. If you start slinging around large (>2GB) files on a regular basis like I do, you won't have to worry about splitting/combining files.
i don't know if this is a troll or an actual problem, but how about you try -t vfat -o rw [die.net]?
And the other way? If you know of a Windows ext3 or Raiser driver, then please tell me. Basically, nothing has changed.
FAT32 is the only common ground both OS's have, and that sucks. It handles ungraceful shutdowns badly (chdsk001.dat anyone?) and has no ownership / execute flags whatsoever. As others have suggested,
I really do. If it was me in charge, first thing I'd do - day one - would be to either hire people currently working on the Wine project, or hire a bunch of other qualified people and have them contribute to it. Get Wine working, then get it working well. Get a contract with Transgaming too - have them help. Imagine a Mac that played all the Win32/DirectX games! You wouldn't have an excuse then, right? Then, I'd dump all that work back into the FOSS community so others could benefit, and have a brilli
This is exactly why my desktop still uses Win98 SE.
Will it be possible to mount non-encrypted disks in Vista? Well, unless MS is finally prepared to kick backwards compatibilty then yes.
Even if unencrypted HD's ain't supported (unlikely) they would still need to support regular filesystems like FAT for all those flash disks from your camera and USB keys and such.
I am as anti-ms as you can get (if I am ever diagnosed with an incurable disease Gates gets a bullet in the head the next day thanks to my Halo training. Eh non-MS FPS training) but this is just to much. Linux disk encryption makes it just as hard for linux to dualboot windows. In fact every linux distro should just use FAT to make sure windows can be dualbooted and read the linux data.
Linux disk encryption makes it just as hard for linux to dualboot windows. In fact every linux distro should just use FAT to make sure windows can be dualbooted and read the linux data.
Or maybe they just don't see any value in spending money developing a feature only 0.0001% of customers are interested in, something better handled by a third party.
the filesystems used in linux are free and open.
Encrypting a filesystem prevents arbitrary operating system from accessing it!
I mean — what the fuck?! — isn't that the whole idea?
4.1 Installation
As part of Windows Vista, BitLocker is installed automatically during OS install with Enterprise and Ultimate editions5. (Note that it is not automatically turned on.)
Once again, the headline is hideously misleading.
Because none of the current Intel Macs support multiple hard disks (except externally, but that's a pain esp. for the laptops), and chances are more Mac users than Linux users are going to be concerned about this kind of thing (due to Boot Camp).Besides, why can't the MBR be on
... A DIFFERENT drive and just have two disks?
The hardware part worries me. Is it just that the hardware is used to speed up the encrypt/decrypt stage? Or is it that disc encryption is actually tied to a specific unique chip on the system?
What happens if my motherboard dies one day and I need to copy files from the dead computer onto a new computer? Will there be a failsafe software-based decoder that will let me copy my files?
And how are backups goin
A company plans to include a very useful encryption tool with it's next OS.
This is good news in terms of security and privacy, and therefore
Oh wait, no they won't, because the company is Microsoft. Microsoft is baaad, therefore everything they do is sinister and evil. You people always manage to find the dark lining to their every silver cloud.
It's the herd-mentality at work, folks.
Bitlocker would be rather pointless if any OS could read the encryped drive now wouldn't it?
If any OS could read the encrypted drive given the key, then there would be no problem. The problem comes when Microsoft does not specify how to turn the ciphertext plus the key into the cleartext.
Nondeterminism means never having to say you are wrong.

The celebrities at Saturday's Warrior Games opening ceremony in Colorado Springs were the 260 wounded troops who will compete this week.
Their cheering section included the likes of Britain's Prince Harry and Olympic gold medalists Missy Franklin and Misty May-Treanor.
The games, for injured and ill troops, kicked off Saturday with a private opening ceremony full of pomp and circumstance.
The applause the competitors received was louder and longer than that received by dignitaries.
'We win by being in your presence, ' Colorado's U.S. Sen. Mark Udall told competitors during his opening-ceremony speech.
Competitors have suffered medical setbacks but come 'all the way back and are prepared to compete again at the highest level, ' he said.
Thousands of troops have returned home from Iraq and Afghanistan over the past decade. But joyous reunions have been tempered by the reality that not all soldiers come home whole, Colorado's U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn said at the ceremony.
'We must do more for them, ' he said.
Admiral James A. Winnefeld, Jr., vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told competitors that they're the nation's 'best of the best. '
On his toughest days, 'I just think of you and my day suddenly becomes a very nice day, ' he said.
Winnefeld also thanked competitors' family members, especially the spouses and parents who serve as caregivers to their wounded warriors.
'It is very hard work, and you are often overlooked, ' he told them. 'You are very special people. '
Fort Carson's 4th Infantry Division Band played as teams representing the Army, Marine Corps, Navy/Coast Guard, Air Force, Special Operations and British Armed Forces walked and wheeled their way into the Olympic Training Center's courtyard. Supporters cheered from their seats and through the open windows of dorm rooms surrounding the courtyard.
Drizzle threatened to delay the ceremony but didn't dampen the spirits of the hundreds of family members, friends, fans and volunteers in attendance.
As the rain came down, Army Col. Tom Rogers and Army Col. Pat Ahearne sat exposed to the elements, waiting for the ceremony to start.
The two deputy commanders at Fort Carson's Evans Army Hospital had weathered worse conditions and weren't about to lose their seats on account of the rain.
The duo said they planned to cheer on Army throughout the week but want everyone to succeed.
'We'll cheer for the Air Force Academy when they're not playing Army, ' Ahearne said with a laugh.
Twenty minutes before the ceremony's start, rain ceased and clouds scattered.
Saturday's ceremony held special significance for Jacki Druckemiller, mother of wounded Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Michael Dayton.
There was a time when Druckemiller thought that Dayton, would never run again.
A 2007 ship accident left the former track and field star with burns over a fifth of his body.
Dayton will be on the track Monday, as he has at the past two years' Warrior Games. He'll also compete in sitting volleyball and archery.
Druckemiller will have a front-row for seat for it all.
It's a heck of a Mothers Day present, said Druckemiller.
'I am beyond-words thrilled, ' Druckemiller said after the opening ceremony. 'This is the best Mother's Day present I could get from him. '
This year Dayton hopes to aid the Navy/Coast Guard archery team in bringing home another team medal.
'You're definitely not out of the fight, ' he said. 'You have plenty more to give. It may be bad, but it's never that bad. '
The games are also open to troops whose illnesses and injuries are not service connected. The first Warrior Games were held in 2010 to introduce wounded warriors to Paralympic sports and encourage them to stay physically active.
This year's games run through Thursday and include archery, cycling, shooting, sitting volleyball, swimming, track and field, and wheelchair basketball.

Wishful Drinking
Carrie Fisher's autobiographical solo show is highly entertaining, but needs more spine.
Despite the title of this world premiere show, Wishful Drinking, the key word here is not "alcoholic" but "story." Fisher's adventures in alcoholism are actually presented as little more than coloring for effect, but they do give her a clever title. If she were just casually chatting with friends about her life and her well-publicized addictions, family, career, and mental health, her rambling stories would be just fine. But, dramatically speaking, that kind of casualness really only works when there is a solid foundation underneath to support it. Fisher's self-written show is a loosely constructed collection of tales that, while very funny and highly entertaining, is missing a spine and needs firm grounding,
The artwork for the show also makes clear one other truth: Fisher's alcoholism isn't the only thing that will be skewered during her two fast-flying hours of crazy life storytelling. The frosty martini glass under the colorful Wishful Drinking logo is adorned with a toothpick that first impales a traditional green olive and then pierces the head of her iconic Star Wars persona, Princess Leia, going straight through her famously ridiculous honey-bunned hair. Fisher holds nothing safe from being poked with a sharp stick just for laughs.
To a large extent, that's exactly what happens in this rather disjointed production, directed by Joshua Ravetch. Fisher takes us on a hopscotch journey across some of the highlights of her life, her anecdotes exhibiting her trademark dry wit and wry observations. There's her celebrity-studded upbringing as the child of superstar parents Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher; their breakup, subsequent multiple marriages, and the hilarious who's-related-to-who? confusion that followed; Fisher's addictions and her diagnosis as a manic/depressive (or the more politically correct term, "bi-polar").
Fisher also details her own messy romances, marriages, and breakups; her affinity for gay men; her testy relationship with Star Wars visionary George Lucas and her behind-the-scenes ordeals during filming; the recent death of a close friend at her home; and more. All of it becomes fair game for pithy remarks about a life lived in outlandish excess on numerous levels. As she acknowledges with deadpan aplomb, "If you think all of this is over-the-top, you can't even imagine what I'm leaving out!"
Indeed, much is left out -- though thanks to television, the tabloids, the Internet and an insatiable public appetite for juicy scandals, what isn't talked about on stage has been thoroughly recounted, scrutinized, and judged from every angle by the media for all of Fisher's 50 years. Still, some of the absent details, such as proper names instead of generic descriptions, would have helped to create a smoother flow and bring a greater sense of cohesiveness to the evening.
Yes, the humor of hangover tales, pill-popping escapades, and off-the-chart family drama is great fun for the audience and for Fisher as well; despite low energy and a careful walk that made her seem to be in pain during the performance under review here, she was still obviously having a good time. But revealing that you've been told you're an alcoholic, for example, packs very little punch unless you also reveal the circumstances of that event and how it affected you.

...no link?
Here you go. [cnet.com] And here's a better one. [gizmodo.com]
Thank you for the link... The blog post says that the Trojan can "control" the phone but nowhere does it say that "control" means anything other than prompting the user to install or delete other applications.
proper code signing (and not letting unsigned code run) is important.
An hour later and you're hungry for privacy again.
Lookout Mobile appears to be in the process of trying to redefine "malware" to mean "software that sends more data about a phone to a remote server than Lookout think it should". This is not the standard definition of malware that we all know and love.
This Android "trojan" is not like regular viruses from the PC world in many ways. It cannot resist uninstallation. It cannot infect other applications. It cannot lie about what it will do - the permission screen states quite clearly what the apps in question have access to. It cannot steal your passwords or bank details.
There are legitimate questions to ask about apps that send phone IDs surreptitiously to some remote people, but calling these apps "trojans" or "malware" is dangerous, it makes people think they need a virus scanner for their phone when in reality they don't. That's exactly what "Lookout" want of course but it's no reason to believe them.
If the software tries to send information without explicit consent from the user in one way or another, it's malware. Some of that information may be implicit (e.g. pointing out updates, retrieving news for a news application, sharing high-scores for games). Sending out personal information while the application is not meant for that information to be send is clearly malicious. If a program is designed to send information maliciously, isn't it malware (== malicious software) by definition?
It does so while giving you false information. Believe me, those kind of robbers are as common as the one that are breaking down your door, and can actually do way more damage. Or are you claiming that everybody that knocks on your door (or better, some unsuspecting elderly person) is to be trusted?
This *is* malware. From TFA:
"Once the malware is installed on a user's phone, it has the potential to receive commands from a remote server that allow the owner of that server to control the phone."
From wikipedia:
"A Trojan horse, or Trojan, is malware that appears to perform a desirable function for the user prior to run or install but instead facilitates unauthorized access to the user's computer system."
This a textbook example of real malware.
I could almost put money this causing a big problem in the mobile community. Originating from a Chinese mobile app store is one thing from some very tailored application is one thing, but if it's repackaged apps out in the wild for popular (a la pirated, full-version) apps, then it's most definitely going to cripple Android-equipped phone users. Let's be honest, if you can get the app for free, who wouldn't install it? Especially half-wit phone users who have enough technical savvy to go look elsewhere f
Mweh, I haven't had much need to go outside the Google Market to be honest. If I did, it was for some demo code or specialized geeky application which I don't think they will ever target. I don't think most people will visit such sites or share apps with friends (I get loads of tips on apps, but they are by name only, and I look them up / check them out in the Google Market myself). I cannot see anybody visiting Chinese app stores unless they are linked up with them by a Chinese provider.
Really? I just saw a very distressed electric sheep running out the back door...
Speaking of "fanbois" I don't believe anybody really claimed anything about Apple's phones yet. We won't let that ruin your day, though, so go ahead and troll on sister.
I still think that the open model that Android brought to the mobile world will be much more beneficial for everyone...
Beneficial in what sense? Not trying to be a troll, just curious. Personally, I think there should be both open/closed systems, it spurs innovation. But perhaps you have another take.
Where's The Fucking Article?
What The Fuck,Aye?
I can feel the FUD storm building...
Awhile back I was looking at cheap Android devices for something that would play movies for long trips. There are many cheap (sub-$200) Android tablets out there that (probably for licensing reasons) do not have access to the Android marketplace. The literature says "you can download thousands of apps from other sources".
I'm thinking the great majority of the devices pwned by this virus will be of this cheap variety.
It's fabulous! We haven't seen anything like it in the last half an hour! -- Macy's

Cirque du Soleil provide media representatives with show and corporate press kits.
Costume designer, director, and teacher François Barbeau is one of the most renowned and respected stage artisans in Canada. In 1998, he joined the team of designers behind the Cirque du Soleil show Dralion, and this creation earned him an Emmy in 2001, awarded by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for "Outstanding Costumes for a Variety or Music Program." His association with Cirque du Soleil continued in 2004 when he designed the costumes for the opening ceremonies of the XIth FINA World Championships in Montreal.
In his career, François Barbeau has designed costumes for hundreds of plays, ballets, and operas presented in Canada, the United States, France, Switzerland, and Israel. He has also directed over fifty plays in Montreal and Toronto since 1984. In 1987, he created the costumes for the opera The Rake's Progress directed by Robert Lepage and presented at the Monnaie theatre in Brussels, Belgium.
François Barbeau was the official costume designer at the Théâtre du Rideau Vert in Montreal for many years. He also works regularly, as costume designer or director, with many other major companies in Montreal, including the Théâtre du Nouveau Monde, the Nouvelle Compagnie Théâtrale, Quat'Sous, the Centaur, the Compagnie Jean-Duceppe, and the Théâtre d'Aujourd'hui, as well as the National Arts Centre in Ottawa.
He features, as costume designer or artistic director, in the credits of dozens of Quebec films and television programs. His talent is recognized by French directors as well: Louis Malle called on him for Atlantic City and he worked with Gérard Depardieu on Tartuffe. In 2004, he created the costumes for Jean Beaudin's feature film Nouvelle-France, for which he received the Jutra award for "Best Costumes."
From 1962 to 1987, François Barbeau also played a key role in training the new generation, as a teacher at the National Theatre School of Canada and then as director of the school's Scenography Program. His emulators include Dominique Lemieux, Michel Crête and Stéphane Roy, all designers at Cirque du Soleil.
In 2000, François Barbeau received the Order of Canada, the country's highest distinction. His lifetime achievement has also been recognized with an honorary Masque from the Académie québécoise du théâtre, the Governor General's Performing Arts Award, and the Prix Victor-Morin of the Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste of Montreal. In 2007, the Université du Québec à Montréal granted him an honorary doctorate for his outstanding contribution to the improvement of performing arts and culture in Quebec.
He has been awarded abundant other prizes and distinctions in the fields of theatre, film, and television.
François Barbeau was born in Montreal.

Brandon Marshall is the most compelling interview on the Dolphins right now because he's smart, he's not afraid to tell you what he thinks, he's sometimes controversial without being venomnous, he's honest, and that all comes wrapped in a package of a player that is a star.
So when Marshall speaks to the local media about once a week for perhaps 10 minutes, it isn't nearly enough time to get to understand the guy or get to know the guy. But it is enough time to be interested by the guy.
Today Brandon Marshall was interesting. But you be the judge:
He was asked about teammate and fellow wide receiver Davone Bess.
"He's one of the best route runners in all of football, ever," Marshall said. "I mean, among today's receivers or ever. You put in any tape and this guy's amazing what he's able to make his body do. He gets open almost every single play. You guys have seen him more than me. You've been around him more. The guy doesn't catch 70-something balls last year just because. There's a reason for that. He's on pace to catch almost 100 balls this year. And I'm excited for him. I'm excited to be able to be on the other side or the same side as him."
Marshall was on the CBS Sports pregame show last weekend. During the time he was there he gushed about cornerback Vontae Davis. Marshall called Davis the best cornerback in the game.
"They asked me who is the best DB in the NFL right now and the NFL is what-have-you-done-for-me-lately league and Vontae Davis is a shutdown corner right now," Marshall said. "Now you have [Darrelle] Revis who's played spottingly [sic] this year so I wouldn't say he's the best right now. You have Champ Bailey who's a little banged up and a little older. He's still great. The league is getting younger. And Vontae is that guy."
Marshall knows that Davis avoids attention.
"He doesn't like it. He doesn't like the attention," Davis said. "But I'm going to answer the questions truthfully. I don't care if I put a target on his back or not. It is what it is and I expect him to step up every week the way he's been doing."
Marshall was asked if he has changed his pregame routine since offensive coordinator Dan Henning said Marshall gets overly excited before the game and that it could wear him out for the end of the game.
"I don't know why coach Henning said that," Marshall said. "I've never been overworked or overworked myself before a game. I usually take less reps before the game and try to stay calm before the storm comes. I get excited, but I never get overworked up. I'm going to continue to do the same thing I've been doing the past couple of years."
The last time we heard from Marshall was when Sterling Sharpe, Mike Mayock, and Solomon Wilcots took the wide receiver to taks for not giving for effort on the final set of downs in the game versus New York. Marshall disagreed with the trio and said none of them coached so they shouldn't be trying to provide coaching advice and none of them were very good player, either, in their day.
And then Marshall was on set was Sterling Sharpe's brother, Shannon, on the CBS set.
"I was on the set with his brother and everything was kind of smooth," Marshall said. "I was kind of nervous at first because Shannon is so big and in-shape still that I thought he was going to put me in a headlock in between segments. I hate to do this but I have to retract my statement. Sterling Sharpe was a beast. He was pretty good in his day and if he had an opportunity to stay healthy, he would be a Hall of Famer, no doubt about it. The other guys, I'm not sure."

Beginning Runner's Guide - Introduction
Introduction: Running continues to grow in popularity. More and more people are taking up the sport. More people are running 5-K races. More are running marathons. An even larger number simply run for fitness and never go near a starting line, or win a race T-shirt.
There are many good reasons. Running is simple and inexpensive. It's a good way to lose weight. It makes you feel good. Running is good for your health. You'll look better and have more energy if you learn to run.
Many people ask questions about beginning to run on my online forums. They want to know how to start running. They want a training program. They want information about shoes and equipment. They worry about sore muscles.
Every runner experiences what might be described as "Start-Up" problems. Many have "Restart" problems. Former runners (who stopped, for one reason or another) want to get back to their old running routines. They too need help.
Here is how to start--and how to restart. Click on the links below and you can become a runner too:

Jean has gone to school, she has to have lights now in the morning. Batteries are not very good to get either. "The Sprogg" is busily washing his white? chest and paws. He is a lazy little fellow so I put butter on his chest and paws to see if he would wash it off. It seems to be having the desired effect. Jean is 5th in term marks, only 5 marks less than top. Hope she does as well in exams. Mavis and Ken are top of their respective classes. George, as usual, is top of Jean's [class] IV.A. The wireless is going well. Went to Skegness last Tuesday. Rene is to carry on as she is, they don't think she will be called up. I wrote to Emily last night, also to Edie. She sent me the usual P.O. for 5/0 and Jean 2/6 and a book which I shall read first as E. has some peculiar views sometimes and has had various new beliefs. She sent me a wee booklet of prayers which are really very good, so good I copied one out for Ron. Then I wrote a good long letter to Ron and sent him Rene's wedding snaps tho' the reprints are even worse than the first lot developed. They are dire, but Cook says the film was probably thin, or did he say negative?
Father is not up yet as he did not come off duty until 2.a.m. and is on again at 2.p.m. It has been pouring with rain again but was fair when Jean went so hope I can wash. We are not doing any big ones until after Xmas, but must wash my bed-room curtains. Emmie is coming from Xmas Eve to Sunday. We are so pleased tho' it isn't long. There was a concert at C[entral] Hall on Saturday night for Xmas Fund for R.A. [Royal Artillery] a good show, £12 clear so very good. Mrs. Hall was congratulated on doing what the war hasn't done in Chapel. There was a long queue at the door. No entry except by ticket. Jean, Rene and Tom went, and Aunt Eff and Grandma.
Eff had pig killed last week but Wilkinson forgot scales so did not weigh it. She sent me sausage and chine fry and scraps and on Sat about 1 lb of pork pie meat as she had so much. The weather is not very good for keeping, so I made a raised pie yesterday (Sunday) which I would not usually do, but on Sat. afternoon I polished all the staircase and was too whacked to do pie as well. If I had done pie I should not have cleaned staircase on Sunday tho' I don't know that pie making was any less heinous. It baked beautifully but I put it in a tin as it would not seem to stand alone. Don't know if it is the brown flour or if it was not cold enough. It must be light by now so will unblack and get washpot on.
The schoolchildren mentioned were niece Mavis Simpson, nephew Ken Raynor and George Ranson the son of niece Ciss (see 11 Dec. 1941).
Edie, here was May's stepmother (see 16 Dec. 1940).
Herbert Wilkinson was a butcher in Hogsthorpe.

If you could (or already do) own any second rc, what would it be, and why? Lets stick to 4 tires, no planes/ helicopters/ boats, etc.
I do have two running R/C trucks. They are both Traxxas Slash 4x4's! I love these trucks ♡ I started out with a Tamiya TB-03, given to me by a neighbor. Then I had a TA-05, from there I got a 2wd Slash. When the 4x4 came out, I had to have one! January 2010 I got one rtr used for $150! Then February 2012 I bought an Ultimate for $50.00! I love my Slash 4x4's♥

It's important to have one in every category so you always have the right truck or car for your current mood. Hehe.
I recently tossed a boat, micro heli and a micro quad rotor into the mix as well. Just so all surfaces are covered.
Have a revo for bashing right now.
Would love to buy a 4x4 slash to race. cant find anything good on the internet for cheep and dont really want to spend the $500 ish to get a new one =( maybe in the summer!

Drive it, Break it, Upgrade it
There are about 15 "what do you have" threads. This one is supposed to be about what you would get next". Theres also a few threads about this as well... but less than the fleet threads.
I have 11 and only purchased new 4 of them....I built the rest. None of them are super special, I have too many to spend money on upgrades!
I think I want a stampede....they seem to be a good basher
I have 7 at the moment.
What I really want to get next is possibly a Summit, always wanted one but I don't know how I would like the crawling, I am pretty sure knowing me I would be like " oh that was cool, for 2 minutes, now I need to sell this thing " LOL. I really do miss my EMBE though, just like a p4de but bigger.
R4lly GT8 | Backsl4sh | Sl4sh MT | Sl4sh | P4de
My next one will prob be a ERBE or a EMBE. As I already have a slayer pro 3.3, a big block MERV, and my only nontraxxas a Wraith FOFF truck.
I have 8. But i want a 1/10 Rally too...
Yea the losi minis are pretty crazy I have one of the 1/24 sct and with a lipo they sure do zoom for their size. I did alot of on road driving with it and was pretty much going thro a set of tires every battery pack or two....lol
Yup Summit, but like I said. Probably not my style, I like going fast
I have also wanted which I don't own (the boy has one). A 2wd P2de, always wanted one. Protrac kit, all STRC Green Parts, Digger body, castle 3800 with a MMP, 2.8 mashers or trenchers. This here is more likely to be my next purchase through tower, EZ Pay is just way to easy LOL.
Just trying to figure out of I am better going with a XL5/Monster Jam and parting out what I don't need want, or a VXL P2de and doing the same.
R4lly GT8 | Backsl4sh | Sl4sh MT | Sl4sh | P4de
traxxas xo-1, go big or go home
All I need now is to set a new lap record.
if traxxas would ever revamp the old electric 4-tec with brushless. that for sure will be my next rc. plz traxxas.
I'm not krazy. My mother had me tested.

Our Collection
Les ramoneurs cérébraux
A man is taken to the doctor's office, but it's not for an ordinary checkup. A huge syringe is thrust into his head. Out of the syringe oozes a sticky yellowish liquid that magically turns into two sinister-looking men. These are the opening images of this chilling animation film, in which two chimney sweeps clear all the memories out of their victim's brain. Fearsome puppets inhabit a world of strange objects. What goes on in a man's head? A film without words.

We're All Aggie Fans Today...
According to the sender of the pic above, it was apparently on the TexAgs board...until the mods took it down. But thanks to us, your friends here at the MZone, it lives on.
Yes, college football (and beautiful women) fans, you can thank us later for saving it from the digital dustbin. God, I miss college right now.

For Texas fans, today is the height of conflicting emotions. It is soooo much fun to see the Agros in such torment. By the same token, we're going to miss that greasy, smirking little son of a bitch.
It's the ultimate in schadenfreude, combined with the overwhelming dread of one of your arch rivals lucking up and hiring someone really good to fill the vacancy.

Plaza-Midwood is a district in Charlotte. It is located on the city's east side, about a mile from the city center, and is developing as a hip urban neighborhood. The neighborhood derives the first half of its name from The Plaza, a steet passing through the center of the area; and Midwood, a subdivision of the neighborhood.
The district's boundaries are slightly ambiguous, but it is generally recognized as the area in between Hawthorne Lane on the west and the Charlotte Country Club on the east, and between Parkwood Rd. (extending to Country Club Ln.) on the north and Central Avenue to the south.
Early in its history, Plaza-Midwood was an industrial neighborhood centered around a streetcar line. The streetcar has long been inactive, but the moderate density of the district makes it vibrant and pleasant. An economic upturn in the last 20 years has brought it from seediness to popularity, especially among members of Charlotte's alternative cultural scene.
Get in
The easiest way to get into the neighborhood is to drive, but bus service to the area makes mass transit a fairly easy option. The #4 bus line serves the Plaza, and the 9 and 39 both serve Central Ave. Most of the neighborhood is easily walkable and safe, but is not recommended to walk there from outside the district as several nearby neighborhoods are not particularly safe.
Plaza-Midwood has arisen as one of Charlotte's best restaurant hubs. In the neighborhood's center is a diverse collection of popular dinner joints; at its edges, a broad variety of immigrant-owned restaurants. The east side of Charlotte is the most internationally-diverse area in North Carolina, and Plaza-Midwood's surprising array of eateries and foreign-language groceries reflects that identity.

The weather in Denver may be frigid, but the Colorado Rockies continue to be red hot.
Carlos Gonzalez went 3-for-5 with an RBI to pace a 17-hit attack that carried the Rockies to an 11-3 victory over the New York Mets that extended the team's winning streak to six games.
Troy Tulowitzki, Wilin Rosario and Todd Helton all drove in a pair of runs to help Colorado complete a sweep of the three-game, snow-shortened set, with Jon Garland doing his part on the mound by firing seven strong innings in the sub- freezing temperatures at Coors Field.
Garland (2-0) yielded just two runs on six hits with no walks to notch his third straight quality start to begin the season.
"A place like this, a lineup like that, hold them to three runs. I thought Jon threw the ball very good," Mets manager Terry Collins remarked. "Due to weather, he didn't have a good feel for his curveball, but he made pitches with it, used his changeup effectively."
Tulowitzki singled home Gonzalez in the bottom of the sixth to snap a 2-2 deadlock, before the Rockies erupted for six runs in the seventh to pull away. Tulowitzki and Dexter Fowler added solo homers in the eighth to finish off the rout.
David Wright finished 2-for-3 with two RBI for the Mets, who wrapped up a challenging eight-game road trip with a 3-5 record. Daniel Murphy also had a pair of hits while scoring twice in the loss.
Jon Niese (2-1) worked the first six-plus innings for New York, surrendering three runs on nine hits.
With the score tied at 2-2, Tulowitzki followed Gonzalez's leadoff double in the bottom of the sixth with a hard single to left off Niese that knocked in the go-ahead run. Garland was able to strand Marlon Byrd at second after a one-out double in the next inning, and the Rockies broke the game open against the New York bullpen in their half of the seventh.
After singles by Eric Young and Gonzalez and a walk to Tulowitzki loaded the bases with one out, Rosario delivered a single to center to bring in two runs and Helton plated two more with a double off the right-field scoreboard against Josh Edgin. Chris Nelson and Reid Brignac came through with RBI singles later in the frame to push Colorado's lead to 9-2.
"The game is close, and then it seems like seventh, eighth or ninth [innings], we've been putting crooked numbers up there and putting some games away," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "It's just tough for a pitcher to make quality pitches throughout the lineup."
The Mets did get a run back in the eighth on Ike Davis' two-out single that scored Jordany Valdespin, but Fowler and Tulowitzki homered two batters apart off Jeremy Hefner in the bottom of the inning to account for the final margin.
Garland was touched for a run in the top of the first, with Murphy reaching on a one-out single and taking second on a wild pitch before Wright drove him home with a base hit up the middle. He proceeded to set down 15 of the next 16 New York hitters afterward, however, and his team drew even with a single run of its own in the bottom of the frame.
Fowler got on via a fielder's choice after Young led off with a single, then advanced a base on Niese's wild pitch before coming home when Gonzalez lined an opposite-field single to left.
Josh Rutledge lofted a Niese changeup over the wall in left to send Colorado in front in the fourth, but the Mets tied it in the sixth behind the combo of Murphy and Wright once again.
Murphy ended a string of nine consecutive batters retired by Garland by lacing a double to left, and Wright followed with an infield single that deflected off the Colorado hurler's glove for his second RBI of the day.
Game Notes
The temperature at first pitch was 28 degrees, which tied an Apr. 12, 1997 home matchup against Montreal for the coldest ever in a game in Rockies' history ... Colorado last won six in a row as part of a seven-game streak during April of 2011 ... The loss was New York's seventh in a row to Colorado dating back to Aug. 20 of last season, the longest in team history against the Rockies ... The Mets held outfielder Lucas Duda out of the lineup due to a sore back, while Colorado's Michael Cuddyer was scratched before the game with a minor leg injury ... Murphy finished the road trip with a .406 average (13- of-32), 10 runs scored and seven doubles ... Young ended 3-for-5 for Colorado.

Now this is what I like to see. Smaller, alternative operating systems have been dying by the dozens these past 6 years or so, so in order for the remainder to survive, they need to work together. ReactOS and Haiku have been doing that for a while now, and the latest fruits of this collaboration is a much-improved USB stack for ReactOS.

I remember that OS. SkyOS supporters proudly embraced the fact that it was closed source as a sign of strength and they didn't learn from history. oh well
And then all of the open source fanboys threw fits over the fact that SkyOS wasn't open source, and accused SkyOS' author of "stealing" from Linux... based on nothing other than the arrogant assumption that it was the only possible way he could accomplished what he did.
Ah, the good old days.

Analysing a text is also not simply a matter of applying a few tests to it- I think responding to it is a good start- does it interest you, does it have any impact, etc, then start to look at the whys and wherefores.
Student or Learner
I have been having trouble getting "deep" into a text. When I read, I just read. So I simply pick a text and try to analyze it. I couldn't.
You have hitherto been a spoilt child, and have been used to have your own way a good deal, both in the house and among your playfellows, with whom you were too fond of being a leader; but you have good nature and good sense, and will get the better of this in time. You have now got among other boys who are you equals, or bigger and stronger than yourself, and who have something else to attend to besides humouring your whims and fancies, and you feel this as a repulse or piece of injustice. But the first lesson to learn is that there are other people in the world besides yourself. The more airs of childish self-importance you give yourself, you will only expose yourself to be the more thwarted and laughed at. True equality is the only true morality or true wisdom. Remember always that you are but one among others, and you can hardly mistake your place in society. In your father's house, you might do as you pleased; in the world you will find competitors at every turn. You are not born a king's son, to destroy or dictate to millions; you can only expect to share their fate, or settle your differences amicably with them. You already find it so at school, and I wish you to be reconciled to your situation as soon and with as little pain as you can.
How should one analyze the text above? i know i should judge it in terms of style(tone, formality, sentence structure, etc,etc) and register( roles, word choice, etc,etc). As I said, when I read, I just read. I don't really know how to determine all that
Analysing a text is also not simply a matter of applying a few tests to it- I think responding to it is a good start- does it interest you, does it have any impact, etc, then start to look at the whys and wherefores.
That sample text makes for a great read - it really ebbs and flows.
It reminds me of Kipling's "If", and Stephen Fry's letter to his 16-year-old self, "Dearest absurd child".

FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter has written to the South African Football Association upon hearing of the tragic death of Thomas Madigage, the assistant coach of Bafana Bafana.
Madigage died in a car crash late on Thursday night at the age of 40. Among other clubs he played for FC Zurich from 1995 to 1996 and retired in 2002.
The popular figure then took up coaching as assistant coach at Supersport United, helping the club to several league titles before moving to the Gordon Igesund's coaching staff.
"It was with great sadness that we learnt of the tragic passing of Thomas Madigage," wrote the FIFA President. "On behalf of FIFA and the worldwide family of football, I wish to extend our deepest condolences to you, to your national team, to his club SuperSport United and, most importantly, to his family, friends and loved ones.
"We would hope that in some way, our words of support may help bring a little bit of peace and solace in this time of sadness."

I find this request ridiculous, but I would also consider it rude to just ignore the request and wear heels.

Posted on 11/23/2012 9:33:08 AM PST by SeekAndFind
After moments of panic in the immediate aftermath of Mitt Romney's defeat, some Republicans and conservatives are regaining their equilibrium on the issue of what the GOP should do about immigration and the Hispanic vote.
They're looking at key questions from the campaign, like how much of Barack Obama's victory was attributable to Hispanic support. They're also looking at the Hispanic electorate itself to see how big a role immigration, versus a wide range of other issues, played in voting decisions. The goal, of course, is to win a larger portion of the Hispanic vote, but first to take a clear-eyed look at what actually happened on Nov. 6.
And the lesson for Republicans is: Take your time. Calmly reassess your positions. Don't pander.
The first question is whether Hispanic voters gave Obama his margin of victory. In a recent analysis, the New York Times' Allison Kopicki and Will Irving looked at vote totals in each state, plus the percentage of the vote cast by Hispanics, to see what the outcome would have been had Hispanics voted differently.
For example, they looked at Wisconsin, a state the Romney-Ryan team hoped to win. Hispanics weren't a huge part of the total vote -- about 4 percent, according to the exit polls -- and Obama won big among them, 65 percent to 31 percent. But going through the totals, Kopicki and Irving concluded that even if every single Hispanic voter in Wisconsin had cast a ballot for Romney, Obama still would have won.
They found the same result for New Hampshire and Iowa, two other swing states Romney looked to win.
Then there was Ohio. According to the exit polls, Obama won 53 percent of the Hispanic vote there. But given how decisively Obama won other voting groups, Kopicki and Irving found that the president would have prevailed in Ohio even if he had won just 22 percent of the Hispanic vote. Put another way, even if Romney had won a stratospheric 78 percent of the Hispanic vote, he still would have lost Ohio.
In Virginia, Obama won the Latino vote 65 percent to 33 percent. Kopicki and Irving found that if those numbers had been reversed -- if Romney had won an unprecedented 65 percent of the Latino vote -- Obama still would have won Virginia.
Even in states where the Hispanic vote played a bigger role, Romney could have made significant gains among Hispanics and still lost. In Colorado, for example, the president won Hispanics by a huge margin, 75 percent to 23 percent. Kopicki and Irving found that Romney could have increased his margin to 42 percent -- a major improvement for a Republican -- and still come up short in Colorado.
The bottom line is that even if Romney had made historic gains among Hispanic voters, he still would have lost the election. That means Romney underperformed among more than just Hispanic voters. And that means winning more Hispanic votes is far from the GOP's only challenge.
Then there is the question of what motivates Hispanic voters. "They should be a natural Republican constituency: striving immigrant community, religious, Catholic, family-oriented and socially conservative (on abortion, for example)," columnist Charles Krauthammer wrote Nov. 8. "The principal reason they go Democratic is the issue of illegal immigrants." Krauthammer urged Republicans to accept amnesty for illegals, accompanied by a completed border fence.
Some other conservatives echoed Krauthammer's sentiments. But social scientist Charles Murray looked across a broad range of data and found little to support the notion that Hispanics are natural Republicans. Hispanics "aren't more religious than everyone else ... aren't married more than everyone else ... aren't more conservative than everyone else," Murray wrote. In addition, Hispanics don't work harder than other groups and are only slightly more pro-life than the rest of the population.
The available data, Murray concluded, "paint a portrait that gives no reason to think that Republicans have an untapped pool of social conservatives to help them win elections."
In addition, exit poll information suggests Hispanics voted on a number of issues beyond illegal immigration -- and those issues favored Democrats. A majority of Hispanics who voted Nov. 6 favored keeping Obamacare. A majority favored higher taxes for higher earners. A majority -- two-thirds, in fact -- said abortion should be legal.
None of this is to say the GOP shouldn't seek more Hispanic votes. There are opportunities; for example, Romney made significant inroads among Hispanic voters with college degrees. But the fact is, Republicans had a serious problem with lots of voters, as well as potential voters who didn't go to the polls. The Hispanic vote was just part of it.
-- Byron York, The Examiner's chief political correspondent,
If the hispanic vote didn't swing the election, why should this be considered?
Besides, we've been down this road before. Fool me twice...
They sure think that they did. I didn't see one Obama bumper sticker here in this town BEFORE the election. As soon as the Kenyan's unions stole the election for him, all of the Hispanics went out and got Obama 2012 bumper stickers and put them on their old "Rent-A-Wrecks". It's an "In Your Face America!" thing.
All I want is to have the same laws for illegals that Mexico has, what is wrong with that?
Hey GOP!!! When you throw the Tea Party under the bus, you lose! It's that frikin' simple!!!
I'll have to look at this more thoroughly, but my impression is that almost all the population growth in the US is minorities, who are highly biased toward Dem voting.
And of course the folks dying off are largely white Republicans.
So the long term trend of demographics is not good.
No they did not, neither did Blacks. What happened was self hating Whites souls their douls again for various freebies. Just like 2008.
True if you look at percentages but in raw numbers minority turnout in places like Fla, Co, and Ohio increased well beyond the margin of Obama's victories. Had Obama's minority vote in battleground states stayed the same as '08 Romney likely wins the EC.But Obama got his base to the polls in those states in much greater numbers than anticipated. The raw numbers, if projected 4,8,12 years down the road do not bode well for conservatives. Minorities seem willing to remain Dems and their numbers are increasing, The millenials semm comfortable with dem social positions and not worried about the economic side and their numbers while not increasing will gather greater importance as the older cohort of conservatives pass from the scene. Given the shrinking conservative base and the grudging acceptance of Romney by conservatives it's difficult to see conservatives backing a more moderate candidate and yet winning a national election with a candidate who personifies current conservative ideas.
There is probably a lot of truth to this article, but you nailed it. Long term demographics will overcome. Amnesty will just accellerate our demise.
Good article that tries to debunk the Amnesty Liberal myth of "Illegal Alien Amnesty brings in Hispanic Voters"
Simple math debunks any "Hispanic Voter Myth" being floated out there....Hispanics still make up a small percentage of voters...and...go to the polls in the same low pct that blacks do
In fact, white voters still outnumber Hispanic voters 8 to 1. It is suicidal to adjust election strategy for a small pct of the vote
Republicans can't handle the Establishment in their own party, nevermind hoping to defeat the Democrat/Marxist party. Socialist Republicans pick our nominee and silently fund against and crush the cabal of conservatives who dare to run the race.
Our time would be better spent, at this juncture, in re-evangelizing the US. Godless people increasingly vote for Godless rule, in a rush to tyranny, bringing poverty to all.
We are assuredly a post-Christian nation and the reason for that needs to be contemplated. How did that come about, but for our own apathy and unfaithfulness?
Read this for what happened to America
However, if there is one man who can take the most credit for the 1965 act, it is John F. Kennedy. Kennedy seems to have inherited the resentment his father Joseph felt as an outsider in Bostons WASP aristocracy. He voted against the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, and supported various refugee acts throughout the 1950s. In 1958 he wrote a book, A Nation of Immigrants, which attacked the quota system as illogical and without purpose, and the book served as Kennedys blueprint for immigration reform after he became president in 1960.
In the summer of 1963, Kennedy sent Congress a proposal calling for the elimination of the national origins quota system. He wanted immigrants admitted on the basis of family reunification and needed skills, without regard to national origin. After his assassination in November, his brother Robert took up the cause of immigration reform, calling it JFKs legacy. In the forward to a revised edition of A Nation of Immigrants, issued in 1964 to gain support for the new law, he wrote, I know of no cause which President Kennedy championed more warmly than the improvement of our immigration policies.
Sold as a memorial to JFK, there was very little opposition to what became known as the Immigration Act of 1965.
OMG, I thought I was the only one who was noticing that.
Next to no Obama bumper stickers leading up to the election but now they are everywhere!
More evidence that we were sandbagged. They carefully constructed an image of Obama voters being de-motivated.
If the demographics were the same as 1980, Romney won by a bigger landslide than Reagan did.
The overall premise of the article is likely correct. The deciding factor wasn`t the hispanic vote... it was the sharp national turn to the political left. Under no realistic notion can we consider America a center-right country ever again. The bridge too far has been crossed.
You forget that most aborted babies are victims of women who are not conservatives. Democrats need immigrants to vote in place of the millions lost to the abortionists.
Until we eliminate (or at the minimum reduce) election fraud, the left will/can count more votes than what we get to steal the elections!
Enough with the Latino votes, the messiah kind of candidate, the super-duper messaging that reaches all the voters......
It is not who votes that matters, it is who counts the votes that matters!
the elephant in the room nobody is talking about is Obama got 39% of the white vote. If whites voted for Romney in the same percentage as blacks or hispanics voted for Obama...
oh never-mind
re: When you throw the Tea Party under the bus, you lose! Its that frikin simple!!!
Now you're telling us that Tea Party supporters boycotted the elections en masse... enough to have given Romney the over 3 million votes he needed to defeat Obama in the popular vote?
Where's the evidence of that?

Yesterday, Mexican seasoned tempeh, black beans and rice.
My recipe is basically cutting the tempeh into very small pieces, and cooking it in a pan with a touch of oil, a random smattering of seasonings (heavy on cumin, cayenne and garlic, usually with lime juice) until lightly browned. Goes well in tacos or on nachos.Last night, baked potatoes and spinach curry.

Hi all!
I'm a 26 year old girl from Denmark who has seen all the Twilight movies and read the first book. At the moment, I'm writing a thesis on the popularity of Twilight, so I decided to join this forum to learn a bit more about the fanbase.
As a student of film and literature, I've often wondered what sparked the current wave of vampire books, movies and tv shows, and in my thesis, I'm trying to pinpoint what it is that has turned this series into such a huge phenomenon. In relation to this, I'm conducting a small survey with a few questions, and I would greatly appreciate it, if some of you would take the time to answer them
The questions can be found here: viewtopic.php?p=526188#p526188
Thank you in advance!
Best wishes,

Submission + - Designers Criticize Apple's User Interface for OS X and iOS
Hugh Pickens writes writes: "Austin Carr writes that a number of user interface designers have become increasingly critical of Apple's approach to software user interface design with much of their censure directed against a trend called skeuomorphism, a term for when objects retain ornamental elements of past that are no longer necessary to the current objects' functions such as calendars with faux leather-stitching, bookshelves with wood veneers, fake glass and paper and brushed chrome. "It's visual masturbation," says one former senior UI designer at Apple who worked closely with Steve Jobs. "It's like the designers are flexing their muscles to show you how good of a visual rendering they can do of a physical object. Who cares?" The issue is two-fold: first, that traditional visual metaphors no longer translate to modern users; and second, that excessive digital imitation of real-world objects creates confusion among users. "I'm old enough, sure, but some of the guys in my office have never seen a Rolodex in real life," says Designer Gadi Amit. "Our culture has changed. We don't need translation of the digital medium in mechanical real-life terms. It's an old-fashioned paradigm." One beneficiary could be Microsoft where the design of Windows 8 distances itself from skeuomorphism emphasizing a flat user interface that's minimalist to the core with icons without embellishments: no bevel, no 3-D flourishes, no glossiness and no drop shadow. "It's Microsoft's stripped-down UI that many find appealing," writes Carr, "a welcome alternative to Apple's approach to software design.""

BOSTON, MA - Freshman outside hitter Corrine Porter (Huntington Beach, CA) spiked for a match-high 11 kills and tied a career-high with five aces to lead the University of Massachusetts Boston women's volleyball team over visiting Rhode Island College, 25-9, 25-21, 25-11, this afternoon in a Little East Conference match at the Clark Athletic Center on the campus of UMass Boston in Boston, MA. The Beacons, who received 28 votes in the most recent Division III American Volleyball Coaches Association national poll, improve to 12-1 overall and 2-0 in LEC play for their best start in school history, while the Anchorwomen fall to 6-10 and 0-2.
UMass Boston owned leads of 5-1, 10-2 and 18-6, before putting away the first set to take a 1-0 match lead. Rhode Island College overcame a 5-1 deficit in the second set and put together an 8-3 run to take its first lead of the day at 9-8 and later owned a 17-15 margin, before the Beacons reeled off five straight points on sophomore middle hitter Shannon Thompson's (Moorpark, CA) serve to take a 20-17 lead. The Anchorwomen would pull to within 22-21, but that would be as close as they would get before the home team pulled away for the last three points and the second set win. UMass Boston held a slim 9-8 edge in the third set, but scored 11 of the next 13 points to take a commanding 20-10 lead in the final set, before taking the match with a 25-11 score.
Porter hit .333 for the match and added seven digs and a pair of block assists for the Beacons, while Thompson owned a .450 hitting mark on 11 kills in addition to a match-high 12 digs, while adding two aces. Junior setter Cassy Hanneman (Denver, CO) was fluid all afternoon with 24 assists to direct the offense, while scooping up three digs and serving up an ace. Sophomore middle hitter Alexa Sullivan (South Dennis, MA) was extremely efficient with a torrid .636 hitting percentage on seven kills in just 11 attempts and also got up for two block assists to go with a dig.
Sophomore outside hitter Breanna Boyer (West Greenwich, CT) led the Rhode Island College offense with 10 kills on a .222 hitting percentage and got down for six digs, while freshman outside hitter Amanda Cabral (Riverside, RI) chipped in with six kills, five digs and a block assist. Sophomore setter Jessica Ho (Providence, RI) racked up 17 assists and a pair of digs, while recording a block assist.
UMass Boston will be in action again on Tuesday, September 28 when it hosts Tufts University at 6:30 p.m. at the Clark Athletic Center, while the Anchorwomen host Emmanuel College on the same night at 7:00 p.m.

United Nations Panel Discusses HIV's Impact on Women, Girls
July 29, 2013
"The particular impact that HIV has on women and girls was discussed during a panel discussion organized in conjunction with the 55th Session of Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW)," a UNAIDS update notes. "Broad ranging discussion took place during the event on how gender inequality, poverty, harmful cultural practices, and unequal power relations exacerbates [women's] vulnerability to HIV infection," the update notes, adding, "The panelists agreed that all barriers hampering women's access to sexual and reproductive health services must be removed, and they called on State Parties to CEDAW to make the necessary investments to facilitate access to SRH services. They also encouraged State Parties to enhance their reporting on human rights issues as it relates to women and HIV and to better use CEDAW to advance the rights of women and women living with HIV in particular" (7/26).

Coming off an All-Star Game start, Max Scherzer threw eight strong innings and got back in the win column as the Detroit Tigers downed the Chicago White Sox, 7-3, to start a four-game series at U.S. Cellular Field.
Victor Martinez singled four times and drove in three runs, as the AL Central leaders won back-to-back contests for the first time since winning five straight, July 2-6. Torii Hunter launched a solo homer.
Scherzer (13-1), who tossed a scoreless inning in the All-Star Game, threw 105 pitches on Monday. He gave up four hits and a pair of runs while striking out five without issuing a walk to bounce back from a loss July 13 against Texas.
Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera exited the game in the fifth inning due to a sore left hip flexor muscle. He was replaced by Don Kelly and is listed as day-to-day.
"He's tough, he won't be out long," Hunter said. "If you need to rest him a couple of days, I guess we have to do that. We need him for the long run."
Chris Sale (6-9), who threw the ensuing two scoreless frames after Scherzer at the Midsummer Classic, struck out 11 in an eight-inning performance. The lefty fell to 1-7 over his last nine starts.
Conor Gillaspie and Dayan Viciedo homered for the White Sox, who had just five hits and saw their two-game wining streak stopped.
Prince Fielder singled to right field to drive in Hunter in the third inning.
Scherzer didn't allow a base-runner until the fifth when Adam Dunn led off with a single, but the Tigers padded their lead for him in the top of the frame. They loaded the bases with two outs, and Martinez bounced a single up the middle for a 3-0 advantage. Cabrera scored on the play, but he appeared to slow up on his way to home plate.
Viciedo started the bottom of the sixth with a homer to right, but Hunter got that run back with a blast to the same part of the field in the seventh.
Gillaspie homered to right with one out in the eighth to get Chicago within 4-2, but a pair of errors in the ninth helped the Tigers extend their lead. Brayan Pena singled and Hernan Perez reached first on Ramon Troncoso's fielding gaffe. Pena then broke for third, and went home when Alexei Ramirez's throw to third was wide. Austin Jackson followed with an RBI double, and later in the inning Martinez singled to center to drive in Detroit's final run.
"If we play better defense, we're probably in that game a little more," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said.
Alex Rios scored on a balk from Bruce Rondon in the bottom of the ninth.
Game Notes
Scherzer moved to 6-0 in 10 road starts this season. He had his streak of six or more strikeouts to begin a season end in his 20th start ... Prior to the game, the White Sox activated first baseman Paul Konerko from the 15-day disabled list. He went 0-for-3 ... Chicago is 11-20 versus the AL Central. The White Sox started a stretch of playing their next 14 games, and 28 of the next 31, against opponents in their own division.

Powerful, well-told 'No' is an easy sell
The true story of one ad executive's marketing campaign to defeat Augusto Pinochet in the 1988 referendum with an overwhelming "No" vote.
Media history, political turmoil and shrewd manipulation are examined in this probing drama.
For anyone fascinated by the political process and the powers of persuasive advertising, No is a resounding yes.
A well-told, fact-based drama, No (* * * ½ out of four; rated R; opening Friday in select cities) takes an intricate look at the use of savvy advertising in the pitched campaign that unseated Chilean military dictator Gen. Augusto Pinochet in 1988, after 15 years in office.
Because of international pressure, Pinochet was forced to call a plebiscite on his presidency. Chilean citizens were given a simple binary choice: "Yes" to allow Pinochet to remain in office for eight more years or "no" to allow someone else to take charge.
Pinochet controlled the media and assumed his re-election was a shoo-in. He allowed the opposition — composed of a coalition of parties — 15 minutes daily to air dissenting views. What the mostly leftist opposing forces initially focused on were the dictator's abuses, fashioning bleak montages of police brutality, lists of disappeared detainees and political executions.
Enter René Saavedra (Gael García Bernal), a brash young adman, and the "No" campaign takes a less grim focus. His slogan: "Chile, happiness is coming."
Saavedra doesn't see the value of TV spots that highlight suffering. He prefers to emphasize the sense of freedom that will come if Pinochet is overthrown. Despite minimal resources and intimidation by the tyrant's minions, he creates almost inanely sunny commercials to peddle democracy.
One of the foreign-language-film Oscar nominees, this slyly ironic, illuminating and absorbing account by Chilean director Pablo Larraín brings the complexity of political elections into sharp focus.
The real commercials used in 1988 are interwoven with behind-the-scenes discussions created for the movie. The film nimbly intersperses archival footage, including recorded endorsements for the "No" movement by American celebrities such as Christopher Reeve, Jane Fonda and Richard Dreyfuss.
By focusing on the advertising minds behind the TV commercials, the film almost casually depicts the oppressive aspects of Pinochet's regime. It also takes in stride a startling achievement: the public triumphantly rising up against a despot and fighting what was originally regarded as a fixed election.
Bernal gives a wonderfully low-key performance as Saavedra, a creative type who is initially apolitical but is drawn to the "No" campaign to brainstorm the most effective ways to win hearts and minds.
An adman first and foremost, Saavedra invigorates the Chilean people who have been mired in pessimistic thinking. When he's brought in, the vast numbers of people who don't plan to vote (72%) reveal the depth of disillusionment. Saavedra's first task, therefore, is to persuade the disenfranchised to participate and express their anger with the regime — by embracing hope.
Saavedra sneaks away from his day job at a Santiago ad agency to work on these targeted ads. Meanwhile, his boss at the agency, Lucho Guzmán (Alfredo Castro), a complacent member of the president's Advisory Council, is working on the "Yes" campaign. Their workday encounters grow fraught.
All the supporting players do a fine job here.The only weak link is unconvincing scenes of Saavedra's verbal clashes with his dissident ex-wife (Antonia Zegers), who dismisses her husband's campaign as vapid and a slap in the face of true resistance.
Fans of Mad Men and Argo are bound to be drawn to No, a thought-provoking political thriller that sheds light on the efficacy of uplifting imagery and the power of the collective.
