BALTIMORE – UMBC softball's junior catcher Taylor Hall (Cosby, Va./Cosby) homered for the 14th time this season to move into a tie with Stevie Shore for third on the Retrievers' single-season home run list in the regular-season finale at UMBC Softball Stadium. The Retrievers hit the ball hard, but Albany came away with the 6-1 victory on Senior Day to take the series sweep.
UMBC concludes the regular-season with a 31-20 record, its first 30-win season since 2009, and will enter the upcoming America East Championships as the fourth-seed. The Retrievers will meet tournament host No. 1 Stony Brook on Thursday, May 8. Game time is to be announced. Albany finishes the year at 29-10 overall and 14-3 in league play. The Great Danes are the second seed in the tournament and will face No. 3 Binghamton.
Hall's home run in the bottom of the seventh inning was her second hit of the day and put the Retrievers on the board with one out. Senior first baseman Chelsea Bertoglio (Laguna Hills, Calif./Laguna Hills/Saddleback College) and freshman third baseman Kaelin Jackson (Export, Pa./Franklin Regional) followed with back-to-back singles through the left side of the infield to put runners on first and second with one out. Albany starting pitcher Brittany MacFawn was able to get out of the inning despite a pair of hard-hit line drives to first and third from seniors Caitlin Chance (Easton, Md./Easton) and Megan Sauble (Glen Burnie, Md./Glen Burnie/CCBC-Catonsville). MacFawn (16-5) struck out 10 batters in the complete-game victory.
Two of the Retrievers' five errors in the contest came in the top of the second inning and put UMBC in a two-run deficit. Albany made its advantage to 3-0 with a solo home run from short stop Maggie Cocks in the top of the fifth inning.
The Great Danes added two more long balls from first baseman Jess Tate and second baseman Kelly Costello in the top of the seventh inning to drive in three more runs and extend its lead to 6-0. UMBC starting pitcher Nicole Casagrand (Horsham, Pa./Hatboro-Horsham) exited after surrendering three earned runs on eight hits in six innings of work to fall to 6-4 on the season. Junior Miranda Clark (Tampa, Fla./H.B. Plant) made her second relief appearance of the weekend, coming in to finish the top of the seventh inning without allowing a hit or a run.
Dawg Bites
-The Retrievers will make their first America East Championship appearance since 2011.
-UMBC's 45 home runs this year is the most for the Retrievers since they blasted 46 home runs in 2009.
-The Retrievers' 244 runs batted in are the most since 2007 (249).
-Taylor Hall takes over fifth place on UMBC's career home run list (29), moving ahead of Dana Shepherd. She also moves into a tie for sixth in single-season extra-base hits (27) and fifth in runs batted in during a single-season (51).

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) -- A Fairfax County judge has ruled in favor of four Sikh men who challenged a Virginia law that required them to pay $500 to perform marriage ceremonies.
The law exempts ordained ministers from various faiths from posting a $500 bond to perform weddings. The Sikh men said the law discriminates against them because their faith has no ordained ministers.
In a ruling Friday, Judge Dennis Smith sided with the Sikhs. He said the requirement to post a bond is an unconstitutional infringement on freedom of religion. He ordered that the men be licensed to perform marriages without having to pay the fee.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia, which represented the Sikhs, on Monday urged the state legislature to change the law to reflect the judge's ruling.

Zevs Arrested in Hong Kong (Interview)
Zevs Arrested in Hong Kong
Coming off a recent exhibition opening in Hong Kong, French artist Zevs was caught red handed working up his signature artwork on the walls of a Georgio Armani store. Adding that Chanel logo looks like it might cost the artist a load of cash as the store is requesting an insane amount of compensation for his actions (nearly $6.7 Million HKD). This video interview by the South China Morning Post gives a bit more insight into the matter.
I dont know what is it.

Directorship Honors Callier Center Pioneer Dr. Ludwig A. Michael
Oct. 25, 2012
Dr. Ludwig A. Michael is a physician and long-time supporter and leader of the Callier Center.
Dr. Ludwig A. Michael, a beloved physician and Callier Center for Communication Disorders leader, has been honored with a directorship that bears his name and will support Callier research.
The permanent endowment, which will create the Ludwig A. Michael, MD, Callier Center Executive Directorship, pays tribute to Michael for his outstanding service as a trustee and as former president of the Foundation for the Callier Center. The directorship, which marks an important step for Callier, was established through an initial gift of $200,000 from the Communities Foundation of Texas.
With this focused support, current and future leaders of the Callier Center may continue their own research programs and take advantage of opportunities to advance the center. To increase the impact of this gift, Callier has set a goal of raising $300,000 to provide additional support for the director's research. The initial gift, and any gifts toward this initiative, count toward Callier's $8 million campaign goal as part of the University's Realize the Vision: The Campaign for Tier One & Beyond. The five-year effort aims to raise $200 million by 2014. More than $3.4 million has already been raised for Callier.
"To be able to honor Ludwig Michael with this directorship is most fitting. He was there at the creation of Callier and has been a continuing source of support and wisdom throughout its history."
Dr. Bert Moore,
dean of the
School of Behavioral
and Brain Sciences
The first holder of the directorship will be Dr. Thomas Campbell, executive director of the Callier Center and a professor in the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences. The endowment will help support his research on the physiological, environmental and genetic variables for the early identification of speech and language disorders in children.
"The endowing of this position has been a longtime goal of the University and is an important step in Callier's continued tradition of excellence," said Dr. Bert Moore, dean of the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences and the Aage and Margareta Møller Distinguished Professor. "To be able to honor Ludwig Michael with this directorship is most fitting. He was there at the creation of Callier and has been a continuing source of support and wisdom throughout its history."
His wife, Carmen Michael, couldn't agree more. "When Dean Moore called me about the Callier Center's wish to establish the directorship in honor of Ludwig, I was very much pleased and wanted to help support it."
Michael, a prominent Dallas otolaryngologist, played a pivotal role in the Callier Center's early years. He received a bachelor of arts and a medical degree from New York University and completed otolaryngology work at Barnes Hospital in St. Louis. He came to Dallas in 1948 after serving at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where he worked with soldiers who had suffered hearing loss. Michael joined the staff of Baylor Medical Center, where he was named chief of otolaryngology in 1964 and again in 1975. He also served on the clinical faculty of UT Southwestern Medical Center.
"This gift is vital to the future of the Callier Center and the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences," Campbell said. "It is another example of the enormous generosity by the Michaels and other donors to the directorship in support of our University. I am deeply honored to have my name associated with the legacy of such an extraordinary man who continues to give so much."
For information on Callier or the campaign, visit the center's website or contact Shanon Patrick at 214-905-3084.

AMES, Iowa (AP) For Iowa State to live up to its potential, senior transfer Will Clyburn has to play like a star.
On Saturday, Clyburn showed just how good the Cyclones can be when they follow his lead.
Clyburn torched then-No. 11 Kansas State for 24 points and 10 rebounds as Iowa State held off the Wildcats 73-67 for their first win over a ranked opponent this season.
It was a win the Cyclones (14-5, 4-2 Big 12) badly needed after an ugly loss at Texas Tech, and it kept them afloat in the upper half of the league ahead of Wednesday's game at Oklahoma State (13-5, 3-3).
Clyburn on Monday was named the Big 12's Rookie of the Week after posting back-to-back double-doubles - an honor made for some good-natured ribbing by Clyburn's teammates considering that he's 22 and at his third college.
But those same guys also know how important Clyburn is to everything they do.
``Will is one of the most versatile players in the country, in this league. We know what he can do every night, crashing the glass, scoring points,'' Iowa State senior Korie Lucious said. ``"He's in the gym every day working on his game, so 20 (points) and 10 (rebounds) is expected from him.''
The Cyclones knew they'd never be able to replace the production of Royce White, who led the team in all five major statistical categories in his only season in Ames.
But Iowa State figured they'd be able to replicate much of White's scoring, rebounding and rotation flexibility with the 6-foot-7 Clyburn, who starred in his only season at Utah in 2010-11 after starting out at Marshalltown Community College.
Fortunately for the Cyclones, Clyburn has been the star they thought he could be.
He's blossomed into the leading scorer on the Big 12's highest scoring team - and its most versatile player.
Clyburn is averaging 14.4 points, and he has scored in double figures 15 times in 19 games with five double-doubles. Though he was held scoreless in a loss at Iowa in early December, Clyburn shrugged off that bad outing and with at least four buckets in every game since.
Clyburn has shown a remarkable ability to affect games in multiple ways, which allows coach Fred Hoiberg to be creative when Clyburn is on the floor.
``The biggest thing we talk to Will about all the time is, `You've got to manufacture your own.' Whether he gets a defensive rebound and pushes out, gets us into an offense or goes and crashes the offensive glass, those are ways that Will can really get himself involved,'' Clyburn said.
Clyburn has also been remarkable steady in Big 12 play.
The soft-spoken Clyburn is sixth in Big 12 league games in both scoring (15.2) and rebounding (8.2), and he's fifth in shooting percentage at 47.1.
``It's going out there and trying to play hard and letting the game come to me,'' Clyburn said. ``When you play hard, usually good things happen.''
Clyburn has also served as a constant for a team that's continued to evolve, even as he's played everywhere from point guard to power forward.
Forward Melvin Ejim has become the Big 12's best rebounder, with at least 10 in eight of his last 10 games. But the minutes for big men Anthony Booker and Percy Gibson have diminished as freshman Georges Niang has blossomed, changing the team's dynamic on both ends of the floor.
None of that has affected Clyburn, who has quietly put together one of the more valuable seasons by anyone in the Big 12.
``Not many guys have the versatility to play four spots,'' Hoiberg said. ``Will is able to take advantage of some mismatch situations when he's at (point guard) by posting and going around some bigger guys at (power forward). It's a great luxury to have.''

If music is the food of love then words just as surely provide the perfect ingredients for a feast of linguistic eroticism.
Traditionally, no nation speaks more loudly – or more eloquently – of the whole business of 'love' than the French… and a business it certainly becomes for the adorable Marie-Constance, sultry star of a seductive Gallic novella available for the first time in English.
Reader for Hire, originally published in 1986 as La Lectrice by the late French author Raymond Jean, is an exhilarating mélange of love, laughter and literature and became a cinema hit starring famous French actress Miou-Miou.
Adriana Hunter's superb translation, which captures all the wicked humour and innate humanity of Jean's brilliantly clever novella, comes courtesy of innovative London-based publisher Peirene Press, purveyors of the best contemporary European literature for English readers.
And as Peirene's inspirational owner Meike Ziervogel so succinctly points out in her introduction, 'The premise of the story is brilliant; a woman who loves reading aloud acquires, without realising, power over others.'
In a delightfully diverting departure from Peirene's more serious-minded literary gems, Reader For Hire takes us on an entertaining, sensuous and, above all, fun outing into the converging worlds of reading, language and sexuality.
Marie-Constance – aged 34, with 'one husband, no children, no profession' – loves reading, knows that she possesses a beautiful voice and is persuaded by a friend that it would be silly not to 'do something with it.'
What seems at first an outlandish idea – putting an ad in the local paper offering herself as a paid reader to the ill, old, handicapped or single – becomes a more attractive prospect at the thought there might be 'bachelors' out there in need of her services.
Her first client is Eric, a paralysed teenage boy, who appears to be transformed by her reading of a Maupassant short story… or could he be more transfixed by a glimpse of Marie-Constance's thighs than the words of one of the fathers of the modern short story?
As Marie-Constance's 'career' settles in, her fame spreads and soon the rich, the creative and the famous are clamouring for her services.
A former Hungarian countess wants only to hear the revolutionary thoughts of Karl Marx, a working mother needs a reader as a substitute babysitter for her young daughter Clorinde, an overworked businessman wants Marie-Constance to teach him the merits of both reading and lovemaking, and a retired magistrate, freed from his duties, finds pleasure in extracts from the salacious Marquis de Sade.
But before long, fiction and reality merge… the paraplegic boy is taken to hospital after suffering a fit during a reading session, the Marxist theorising inadvertently leads to subversive political action on the streets and Marie-Constance gets disastrously sidetracked by adventurous schoolgirl Clorinde.
Reading, it seems, has led Marie-Constance into a hotbed of dangerous politics, thorny social issues, legal minefields, sexual experimentation and, ultimately, the disapproving arms of the law.
Jean plays a clever game in Reader for Hire, using farcical comedy to debunk literary deconstruction theories of the 1980s and convincing us of not just the sheer enjoyment of good literature but its power to enhance and transform our lives.
Whether the transformation is by design or accident is irrelevant… books are knowledge, reading empowers.
A big thankyou to Peirene for the opportunity to share this enchanting French joke.
(Peirene, paperback, £12)

While independent movies don't engage in competition, this week is different because we have two of the most exciting movie beards to come about in ages with Robert Duvall in "Get Low" and John C. Reilly in "The Extra Man."
Acting legend Duvall was positively ecstatic about his character's bushy beard -- the appropriately named hermit called Felix Bush.
"That was the greatest beard ever put on anybody," Duvall beamed at the movie's press day. Sounds like a throw-down to us!
But then again, John C. Reilly as Gershon in "The Extra Man" has even more volume. And the beard comes with an extremely odd, high-pitched voice for the character.
What's more, PopcornBiz learned that Reilly refused to do anything related to his character, even blocking, without his full beard ensemble going. And he went about scaring at least one neighborhood kid as he lumbered off the set in his scruffy attire.
So who wins? We'll let movie-goers decide this weekend.

The facility, capable of producing two units a week for Accionas AW3000 3MW machine, is part of an industrial plan the company hopes will recoup its status as an officially accredited supplier in Brazil. The plant will be operational by October 2012.
In April, Acciona was handed the deal by utility CPFL for the 120MW Atlântica wind farm, in Rio Grande do Sul, the country's southern-most state.
Last week, an inspection by Brazil's National Development Bank (BNDES) found five manufacturers failed to source enough supplies locally to meet Brazil's protectionist wind regulation. It provisionally withdrew accreditaiton from Acciona, Vestas, Suzlon, Fuhrlander and Clipper Windpower.
Apart from its own hub facility, Acciona says blades will be made by a Brazilian supplier in Fortaleza and concrete towers will be made onsite by a local partner. The company spokesman, who withheld the suppliers' identity, says other smaller components will also be sourced locally, "all to meet BNDES requirement".
"In a second phase, and depending on demand, AW will build a nacelle assembly facility," he added.
Major market
Acciona, which signed a 120MW supply contract with developer CPFL Renováveis earlier this year, considers Brazil a major target market.

These speakers from Japanese design company 25togo are constructed of concrete and glass. Aside from what is promised to be excellent audio quality, the speakers feature less conventional external geometrics, allowing users to easily angle the direction of sound/trajectory of toe stubbing impact.
The In Visible City speakers had better sound amazing. Because when you inform your friends that you've just purchased speakers made of concrete and glass, they will never lend you money again. And besides, we're guessing there's good reason that the New York Philharmonic isn't rocking out with cellos made of industrial building materials. [designboom via scifitech]

During the months when the produce aisle seems a bit bare (no locally grown tomatoes or piles of fresh corn in sight), take advantage of the ever-growing variety of root vegetables that are showing up everywhere.
Rough, rustic, and roasted, the root vegetables featured in this dish are filling, comforting, and nutritious.
Beets might not be much to look at. But beneath their dull, rather unassuming exteriors lie sweet, tender jewels full of buttery flavor and a wealth of nutrients. Fresh beets possess a taste and texture that canned ones just can't match, and they come with a bonus -- savory greens.
Jicama, a type of root vegetable at its peak in late fall through early spring, makes a great stand-in for more traditional water chestnuts, giving the dish a nice crunchy element. Eat this dish on its own or with a little steamed brown rice.
These two cabbage cousins offer an interesting twist on the traditional coleslaw. Kohlrabi makes a great addition to stir-fries, while turnips, when pureed with a little butter, serve as an excellent side dish. Saute the greens as you would kale or spinach.
If you haven't roasted beets before, you're in for a treat. Although they take a bit more time, it's well worth it: Roasting intensifies their sweet, earthy flavor.
Peel away the tough exterior of a rutabaga to discover a hearty, firm flesh that's tasty and filling. In addition to this light potato salad, add rutabagas to rustic vegetable soups, or roast them along with other root vegetables, such as carrots, turnips, and parsnips.
Rubbing roasted beets with paper towels is the easiest way to remove their skins.
A surprisingly good source of vitamin C, raw parsnips have slightly more of the antioxidant than their cooked counterparts.
This dish combines golden beets, salmon, and turkey bacon.
One measure of a healthy menu is a palette of colors. Salads don't get much more colorful than this one, which features yellow and red baby beets and sugar snap peas lightly tossed in vinaigrette.
A healthier, more flavorful alternative to heavy, sauce-laden coleslaw.
The smaller the golden beet, the more tender -- and they are best eaten raw. A mandoline or Japanese vegetable slicer is essential for cutting the beets as thin as possible. Of course, red, pink, white, and the two-toned Chioggia are perfectly acceptable here as well.
It is much healthier, and just as flavorful, to wilt the spinach in a salad with a warm beet -- instead of hot bacon -- dressing.
Pliable rice-paper wrappers envelop six vegetables (and countless nutrients). The sauce supplies a tingling jolt of ginger and vinegar.
Asian-inspired pickled beets are soaked in ginger-charged vinegar.
This simple soup delivers beet roots along with their healthful, satisfying greens. A touch of earthy, aromatic spices, such as coriander and cumin, sets off the sweetness of the beets.
Beets give a dramatic hue to a brown-rice salad, which is sprinkled with goat cheese, pine nuts, and parsley.

Chet Atkins
A true country gentleman and the architect of the Nashville sound.
He established the much-storied Studio B. His signature picking style allowed him to play a bassline and a melody simultaneously. Chet Atkins was an innovator in every sense of the word.
Few guitarists have had more influence on the instrument than Chet Atkins.
In Atkins' case, his influence extends from the country-music realm into rock and roll. As a studio musician, he appeared on records by Elvis Presley, the Everly Brothers, Hank Williams, Roy Orbison and countless country musicians. Atkins thumb-and-fingerpicking style influenced George Harrison, Duane Eddy, the Ventures, Eddie Cochran, Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler, as well as innumerable country pickers. Even Ted Nugent has credited Atkins with inspiring him to take up the instrument, saying "I think he influenced everybody who picked up a guitar."
Atkins was a key architect of the "Nashville sound," which opened up traditional country music to pop influences, allowing it to remain commercially viable in the Fifties and Sixties. His multiple roles in the music industry included recording artist, record-company executive, producer, guitar designer and sideman. Although inducted into the Hall of Fame as a sideman, his versatility and impact could have made him a viable candidate as a performer, early influence or non-performer as well. Atkins won fourteen Grammys (including the Lifetime Achievement Award). Guitar Player magazine proclaimed him Popular Music's Most Influential Stylist. In 1973 he became the youngest person ever inducted to the Country Music Hall of Fame. Two decades later, Atkins was one of the oldest musicians (he was 77 when he died of cancer in 2001) inducted into the Rock and Roll of Fame.
Atkins was a virtuoso guitarist whose smooth, clean-sounding style belied his intricate mastery. His style was a tasteful blend of country, jazz and pop, informed by such early influences as Merle Travis, Les Paul and Django Reinhardt. Atkins would pick a bass line with his thumb on the lower strings and fingerpick melodies and harmonies with his other four fingers. He played Gretsch and Gibson guitars, and he helped design numerous models by both instrument makers. These include the Chet Atkins Country Gentleman and the Chet Atkins Tennessean.
Born and raised in rural east Tennessee, Atkins debuted as a sessionman in 1945, backing up a group that would eventually become the Oak Ridge Boys. He moved to Nashville and cut his first solo album, Chet Atkins' Gallopin' Guitar (1953), and later recorded 1966's Chet Atkins Picks on the Beatles. He has collaborated with such fellow guitarists as Les Paul, Jerry Reed and Merle Travis.
In 1954 Atkins persuaded the Everly Brothers to move from their small Kentucky hometown to Nashville. Once there he became their adviser, sideman and friend. He played electric guitar on many of the duo's early classics, including "Bye Bye Love," "All I Have to Do Is Dream," "Wake Up Little Susie" and "When Will I Be Loved." "Chet Atkins was the reason we came to Nashville,'' Phil Everly said. "He was always our mentor."
In 1957 Atkins was appointed RCA's Manager of Operations in Nashville. With Atkins help, Nashville became known around the world as Music City. He produced and signed not only pop-country crossover stars like Eddy Arnold, Jim Reeves and Charlie Pride, but also mold-breaking rebels such as Willie Nelson, Hank Snow, Dolly Parton, Guy Clark, Charlie Rich, Skeeter Davis, Bobby Bare, Gary Stewart and Waylon Jennings all of whom have considerable followings among rock and roll fans. Atkins also convinced RCA to build an office and studio, the legendary Studio B (a.k.a. The House That Chet Built) on Music Row. Elvis Presley alone wound up cutting two hundred fifty songs between 1957 and 1977 at Studio B. More hits were recorded at Studio B than any other studio in Nashville history.
In 1974 longtime admirer Paul McCartney visited Nashville to record a track with Atkins. In 1994 Atkins and New Orleans R&B great Allen Toussaint collaborated on a track, "Southern Nights," for the album Rhythm Country & Blues. Atkins and Mark Knopfler released an album of guitar duets, Neck and Neck, in 1990. No doubt speaking for many rock guitarists, Knopfler said, "When I was coming up, I made a religion of the Everly Brothers, Elvis Presley and a lot of the sessions that Chet produced and played on. My whole sensitivity, my whole approach, my whole way of listening to music stems from all that."
In the end, Atkins viewed what he played not as rock and roll, country or pop, but as an amalgam that he referred to simply as American music. "I just try and play things that give me chills, to express myself from the heart through my music," said Atkins. A musician who came to epitomize the term country gentleman, Atkins offered his own epitaph to writer Alanna Nash back in 1981: "I'd like for people to say that I played in tune, that I played in good taste, and that I was nice to people. That's about it."
Inductee: Chet Atkins (guitar; born June 20, 1924, died June 30, 2001)

When is it okay to delete?
When should you never delete/destroy no matter how old (ie. health-management software?)

When is it okay to delete?
When should you never delete/destroy no matter how old (ie. health-management software?)
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
What do you mean by "delete"? If you just want to remove files form the current HEAD (what the most recent version is called in most source control systems), go ahead. Most source control systems are designed to handle file deletions.
Indeed, once it is in the history, some source control systems make it very difficult to actually remove things form their history. If you have added a file that you want to remove, it is usually just easier to delete the file and do a commit with the file removed.
This is generally a good thing. You never know when you may want to get access to old code. The space requirements are usually not significant unless you have a huge number of large commits. As @nonnb says, you also may need it for audit and compliance purposes (e.g. ISO27001).
The only case when something should be removed from the revision history is when something sensitive has accidentally been committed, such as a private key, password, test data that contains real customer information or data that potentially breaches privacy regulations (PII).
Just to be clear, I'm assuming that by 'destroyed' you mean permanent deletion of all versions of the file, versus just removing a file from the current branch.
IMO, valid source should never be destroyed. The only time anything needs to be deleted from a repository (at least, in any ethical situation) is if the file shouldn't have been there in the first place, e.g. accidentally adding compiled artifacts like obj, bin, pch etc into the repository.
Rationale is:
A typical solution for removing source code from a project which is no longer wanted is to move it or archive it, although this is largely unnecessary in contemporary source control systems. (e.g. CVS has an attic)

Cops: 4 men found held in 'deplorable' Texas home
HOUSTON (AP) -- Four homeless men were found Friday in "deplorable conditions" at a Houston home and may have been being held so a captor could cash checks the men were receiving, according to police.
A neighbor called authorities expressing concern about men in the house in North Houston. Officers who responded found three men locked in a garage and a fourth in the home, said Sgt. Steven Murdock, who described the living conditions as like a "dungeon."
Murdock said at least one of the men is a military veteran. He said all four were homeless and may have been held so a captor could collect their checks, though it wasn't clear whether the men were targeted for their Social Security payments or some other kind of assistance.
The men were malnourished and "almost invalids," Murdock said. Three were taken to a hospital for treatment.
One person was taken into custody, though details weren't immediately available.
Neighbors said they occasionally saw the men sitting outside. Virginia Rogers, who lives five houses away, said she greeted them with a wave when she drove by.
"I'm shocked," Rogers said. "I'm baffled. I didn't have a clue."
The men were found in a working-class, residential neighborhood of one-story, brick homes. Harris County property records show the home was built in 1969 and is about 1,400 square feet.
Police were going in and out of the house's bright purple door and black gate Friday afternoon, removing evidence as neighbors stood outside watching.
A portion of the block was cordoned off with police tape.

Q&A with Junior Utility John Butler
Related Links
In each of his three years at UC San Diego, junior John Butler has progressively played an expanded role on the UC San Diego Men's Water Polo team to the point that veteran Head Coach Denny Harper now says, "he has definitely emerged as one of our best all-around players." Third in goals scored and the team leader in assists, the Hillsborough native was named first team All-WWPA and first team All-WWPA Tournament as the Tritons (17-9) won their first conference title since 2006. "Those honors were clearly deserved," noted Harper. "There are a lot of positives to John's game but first and foremost is his intelligence. He's got a really high polo IQ. He's a smart player and has developed into a solid outside scoring threat." With the NCAA Championships and a Saturday semi-final date against second-seeded UCLA fast approaching, Butler took a few moments to talk about this year's squad, winning the WWPA and his growth as a player.
Q-After coming close
last year, what was the key to this year's team winning the Western Water Polo
Assn. (WWPA) crown?
BUTLER-The team this year had a new look. Our variety of strengths allowed our team to develop a renewed focus and confidence as opposed to previous seasons. Losing in the title game my freshman year and outside the top three my sophomore season left much to be desired moving into the 2011 season.
Q-What were your immediate thoughts when the final buzzer went off against UC Davis in the WWPA title game?
BUTLER-I was overwhelmed with so many emotions! I couldn't contain my excitement and sheer joy. It's always great to accomplish your goals and this has been one of mine since I entered the program.
Q-Talk about the ebb & flow of the season and how your thoughts may have wavered in regard to the year's ultimate outcome.
BUTLER-You have
to be pleased with the start of our season. We lost only three of our first 14
matches. A loss to LMU at our home opener was tough to swallow. Yet we bounced
back strong and dominated LMU at the SoCal Tournament, 9-5. At that point, you
could tell the team was playing with a lot of confidence, particularly coming
off two big WWPA wins at the SoCal.
The team was cautious to stay diligent and prevent this from being the high point of our season. Dropping six of our next nine games was not what we had in mind but while these loses hurt our record, they helped us grow as a team. This was the stretch of the season where we fully development in to the squad that would win WWPAs.
Q-Your team heads to Berkeley for the NCAA Final Four Thursday. What does that accomplishment mean to you?
BUTLER-This will be a truly amazing experience. I can remember being a senior in high school and choosing UCSD because I had the best opportunity to play there and go to the "big show." I am so thankful for this opportunity. It means so much not only to me but to our team and especially our seniors.
Q-Since the NCAA went to its current four-team format, every year but one, the third and fourth-seeded teams have lost in the first round. Is there anything that makes you feel that result will change this time around?
BUTLER-UCSD is the only team to win a first round game in the current format. Playing for a successful, storied program with a coach who has been in the NCAA championship game before definitely gives the team the sense of poise and belief necessary to win.
Q-In your opinion, what are the strengths of this year's squad? What area has improved the most over the course of the year?
BUTLER-Our team
has become multi-faceted offensively. Our strength comes from the options we
force the opposing team to defend. Whether we score a goal from the counter,
perimeter, two-meter, post-ups or 6-5, you can count on us to get our share of
goals-and get them from multiple players.
Our team has improved most on the defensive side of the ball. Senior goalie David Morton played extremely well throughout the season, but when our team played strong defense in front of him we were unbeatable. Holding Santa Clara to only two goals in the WWPA semi-final is a testament to this improvement and David's leadership.
Q-Was there a particular point in the season when you felt the team may have "turned a corner" or that the conference championship and NCAA berth were more "possibility than dream?"
BUTLER-Beating UC Davis a second time, 10-6, at home, and following that up with a 14-7 victory over Santa Clara was the turning point for me. The goal is always to win the conference and automatic bid to NCAA. The wins over Davis and Santa Clara solidified this goal as a reality.
Q-This year's roster has an interesting mix that includes six seniors, several freshmen playing key roles and just about everything in between. How would you describe the team chemistry and how, if at all, has it affected performance?
BUTLER-Experience is an important part to any team but equally important is execution. Once the game starts your year in school becomes irrelevant and our younger players have taken this to heart. From top to bottom, our team has continued to execute game plans and convert on the opportunities we have.
Q-Statistically, your contributions to the team have increased each year and you finished the 2011 regular season with 33 goals and 43 assists. What do you feel is the biggest difference in your game since you arrived at UCSD and what aspect would you most like to further develop going forward?
BUTLER-When I
entered the program Denny told me, "You want to compete in college Butler? Then
swim hard and play some bad a** defense." Thus, the focus of my efforts has
continued to stay in this area. But my biggest improvement has been my outside
shooting. My newly-developed ability to score the ball from the outside is what
I'm most proud of individually.
Moving forward, I'd like to continue my development on offense as a driver and add a few more shots to my bag of tricks.
Q-In addition to playing water polo and handling your academic requirements, you're also a member of a fraternity and represent the team on the Triton Athletes' Council. How do you find the time to balance all of those activities and do you find there is the kind of crossover where one positively influences the others?
BUTLER-I have
learned to love Giesel Library. Spending time in the library allows me to
isolate myself and accomplish my tasks. The most important part to balancing
all my activities is using my time effectively.
It's difficult at times to have so many balls in the air. I complicate this for myself because I hate underachieving and will give every task 100%. While the material might not overlap in my various organizations, the skills I've learned with each have proven to be of the utmost importance.
Q-When you're not doing any of those things, how do you like to spend your free time?
BUTLER-I keep myself pretty busy but I try to find time to go home to visit my family in the Bay Area. They have been so supportive of me and I love being with them. Relaxing with my friends at the beach or watching college football helps me clear my head along with some good tunes. When I can, I also pick up a good book.
Q-When you get on the plane to return to San Diego Sunday night, what do you hope to have accomplished?
BUTLER-The flight back to San Diego will bring mixed emotions. We have already accomplished so much this season that I doubt anyone wants it to end. I know we will leave Berkeley knowing we played with the best and fought our hardest to bring home an NCAA Championship. I hope at the very least that we can send our seniors off with a win. They have dedicated their collegiate careers to this program and I want to win this for them.

A new report by the USGS says what we have to worry about is a massive flood throughout the entire state, not just an earthquake that might affect only parts of the state.
"If you'd lived in California for 150 years, you would have known that floods were California's Other Big One," said Dr. Lucy Jones of the USGS. "Because they were so bad in the 19th Century, we built a great flood control system, and we've managed to remove the moderate floods. Most people growing up in California, don't think of floods as an issue.
"When we did a study and compared the type of flood that happens every 100 or 200 years with the type of earthquake that happens every 100 or 200 years, we end up concluding that the flood actually costs five times as much as the earthquake."
About $300 billion in damage.
It happened in the late 1860s, and it could happen again, Jones said. In the video above, she takes a look at the costs California would bear.
"The big issue here is the potential disruption to our economy," Jones said. "If we lose one-third of the taxable land in California this time, that's a huge financial hit to all of our systems."

OTESUS Operating Table System
Creating a more ergonomic workspace with enhanced adjustment capabilities and unrivaled ease of use.
OTESUS represents the intelligent evolution of the proven ALPHAMAQUET OR table system. With its versatile table tops, the OTESUS 1160 can be used across all surgical disciplines.
In addition to its clinical uses, the OTESUS 1160 is particularly distinguished by its cost-effectiveness; thanks to its compatibility with the existing ALPHAMAQUET equipment the cost of upgrading can be significantly reduced.
The expanded range of tilt and Trendelenburg/ reverse Trendelenburg angles enhance the use of gravity to achieve the best possible exposure of the surgical site, enabling improved access in minimally invasive interventions.
Meet the latest member of the OTESUS 1160 family:
The motorized OTESUS ERGO DRIVE transporter is an efficient, user-friendly answer to OR challenges. Conventional solutions require staff to use their own physical strength for patient transfer as well as for table top transfer. The ERGO DRIVE helps to reduce this strain. It features an advanced autodrive function for easy table maneuvering. The individual speed regulation and control is simple and intuitive to operate using the "Sensor Drive handle", which is controlled similar to a motorbike.
OTESUS 1160 Family
- Free choice of buying new equipment or using existing ALPHAMAQUET equipment. Fully compatible with all existing ALPHAMAQUET 1150 and many 1140 table tops and accessories, as well as 1120 and 1150 base plates.

Wells Fargo reported record net income of $3.9 billion, or $0.70 per share, for the second quarter of 2011, up from $3.1 billion, or $0.55 per share, a year ago and a slight increase from $3.8 billion, or $0.67 per share, for the first quarter of 2011.
The company's latest earnings results beat analysts' estimates by 1 cent
"Our business fundamentals were strong with increased revenues, loans and deposits, lower operating costs, improved credit quality and higher capital levels," said Chairman and CEO John Stumpf in a statement.
"We're right on track with our integration, having converted 2,215 Wachovia stores to date, including most recently one of our largest East Coast states, Florida," Stumpf explained. "We continue to be focused on building and managing our diversified company for the long-term benefit of our team members, customers, shareholders and communities, and feel we are very well positioned to capture future growth opportunities."
Revenue was about $20.39 billion, compared with $20.33 billion in first quarter 2011 and $21.39 billion in the same year-ago quarter. Analysts had estimated that Wells Fargo would have sales of $20.46 billion.
Brokerage Results
The Wealth, Brokerage and Retirement group – which includes Wells Fargo Advisors – had net income of $333 million in the June quarter, up from $270 million a year ago but down slightly from $339 in the March quarter.
Revenue for the group was $3.1 billion, up 8% from the year-ago period and down 2% from first quarter 2011 due to lower brokerage transaction revenue, according to the company. The year-over-year increase, it says, was driven by "higher asset-based revenues and higher securities gains in the brokerage business."
Noninterest expenses declined 3% from first quarter on reduced personnel costs and increased 6% year over year "due to growth in personnel costs, primarily broker commissions driven by higher production levels."
Wells Fargo Advisors says it is the nation's third-largest brokerage business with 15,194 financial advisors and about 3,800 bankers – for a total number of 18,989 licensed professionals. Nearly 11,100 financial advisors work in the traditional brokerage channel of Wells Fargo Advisors. The firm's in-bank brokerage channel employs 2,708 FAs and 3,795 licensed bankers located in Wachovia and Wells Fargo bank stores.
In the prior quarter, Wells Fargo had 200 more licensed professionals or 19,194 FAs, 15,236 traditional FAs and 3,958 licensed bankers. At the end of 2010, WFA had 19,574 advisors – with 15,188 in non-bank channels and 4,386 in banks.
Year over year, Wells Fargo says the number of traditional FAs is up 1%.
For the retail brokerage operations, client assets of $1.2 trillion were up 12% from the prior year. Managed account assets increased $62 billion, or 31%, from a year ago "driven by strong net flows and solid market gains," according to Wells Fargo.
Average assets per FA are roughly $63 million, including the bank advisors; excluding this group, average AUM is $80 million per FA.
Average annualized sales or production per FA based on the latest quarter's results stands at $653,000 vs. $669,000 in the previous quarter. Excluding bank reps, this figure is roughly $816,000 vs. $840,000 in Q1.
During the second quarter, the company announced the sale of H.D. Vest Financial Services.
In wealth management (excluding Wells Fargo Advisors), client assets of $204 billion were up 8% from the prior year, as were investment management and trust asset-based revenue.
Institutional retirement plan assets of $247 billion grew 18% year over year, while IRA assets of $286 billion jumped 16%.

Estimate geodetic latitude, longitude, and altitude from flat Earth position
Utilities/Axes Transformations
The Flat Earth to LLA block converts a 3-by-1 vector of Flat Earth position into geodetic latitude , longitude , and altitude (h). The flat Earth coordinate system assumes the z-axis is downward positive. The estimation begins by transforming the flat Earth x and y coordinates to North and East coordinates. The transformation has the form of
where is the angle in degrees clockwise between the x-axis and north.
To convert the North and East coordinates to geodetic latitude and longitude, the radius of curvature in the prime vertical (RN) and the radius of curvature in the meridian (RM) are used. (RN) and (RM) are defined by the following relationships:
where (R) is the equatorial radius of the planet and is the flattening of the planet.
Small changes in the in latitude and longitude are approximated from small changes in the North and East positions by
The output latitude and longitude are simply the initial latitude and longitude plus the small changes in latitude and longitude.
The altitude is the negative flat Earth z-axis value minus the reference height (href).
Specifies the parameter and output units:
Equatorial Radius
This option is only available when Planet
model is set to
Earth (WGS84).
Specifies the planet model to use:
Custom or
Specifies the flattening of the planet. This option is only available with Planet model Custom.
Specifies the radius of the planet at its equator. The units of the equatorial radius parameter should be the same as the units for flat Earth position. This option is only available with Planet model Custom.
Specifies the reference location, in degrees of latitude and longitude, for the origin of the estimation and the origin of the flat Earth coordinate system.
Specifies angle used for converting flat Earth x and y coordinates to North and East coordinates.
|Dimension Type
|3-by-1 vector
|Contains the position in flat Earth frame.
|Contains the reference height from surface of Earth to flat Earth frame with regard to Earth frame, in same units as flat Earth position.
|Dimension Type
|2-by-1 vector
|Contains the geodetic latitude and longitude, in degrees.
|Contains the altitude above the input reference altitude, in same units as flat Earth position.
This estimation method assumes the flight path and bank angle are zero.
This estimation method assumes the flat Earth z-axis is normal to the Earth at the initial geodetic latitude and longitude only. This method has higher accuracy over small distances from the initial geodetic latitude and longitude, and nearer to the equator. The longitude will have higher accuracy the smaller the variations in latitude. Additionally, longitude is singular at the poles.

Tips to reduce home insurance bills
posted by Homeowners are likely looking for every way possible to reduce their bills.
Homeowners are likely looking for every way possible to reduce their bills. And when it comes to home insurance, there are some easy steps that can be take to trim that cost.
The savings homeowners are capable of on their insurance can really add up over time. Taking steps today can lower payments tomorrow. Here are the best practices when it comes to lowering your home insurance bill.
Get a home security system
While a homeowner might be avoiding a security system for their cost, they likely didn't take into account that a home insurance bill can be reduced just by adding one. The extra security and peace of mind homeowners get from one of these systems is the primary benefit, but homeowners will also see savings on their insurance bills.
Check out past insurance claims
This is especially important for those shopping around for homes. Seeing the previous claims made by the seller will clue the buyer in on potentially costly issues with the home.
"If you are looking at buying a home, definitely ask the seller to provide you a copy of their C.L.U.E. [Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange] report on the property, just in case," Vicki Tuua, a home insurance agent and expert, told Yahoo. "It should only cost about $20 and if the property has a handful of claims, you could be buying more than you bargained for. For example, a history of water damage claims might raise your premium 300 percent or more!"
Know what possessions are worth
Another way to cut down on a insurance bill is to assess the value of the possessions in the home. This will ensure the homeowner knows how much coverage they need, not to mention what the price of home insurance should be.

How to Find Your Sole Mate
Let's face it — running is a great way to stay in shape, but there are some days when it can get pretty boring. If you've hit a plateau despite trying new territories and techniques, it might be time to add something to your workout: a running buddy.
Running with a partner can help the clock tick faster, while boosting your mile time. But not all friends make great pals to pound the pavement with. Blue Benadum, a California-based running coach, marathoner, and Lululemon brand ambassador, shares some important things to keep in mind when finding someone who's at your speed.
Define Your Level and Your Goals
Before you set off on a group trot, Benadum suggests sitting down sans buddy and figuring out what your goals are. "If you're running for the social aspect, to help you get outdoors, and to enjoy the process of the experience, you'll be looking for someone a little different than if you are training for an upcoming race," Benadum says. "In a social run, it's easy to have a variety of runners at different levels for the purpose of having a good time. But if you're looking to be pushed, identify what level runner you are, and then try to find a friend who is equal or slightly faster than you."
Luckily, you can have your cake-flavored GU packs and eat them too. There's no rule that says you can only have one running buddy! Benadum suggests finding different partners for different occasions. Ask some friends to join you for a fun run on Tuesdays and then find a friend to help push you for an intense training run on Thursdays.
Pick the Right Personality
Just like in the dating world, you'll probably have better success if you seek out a running friend whose personality matches yours, rather than clashes. For example, if you have a friend who consistently bails last minute and leaves you jogging solo, you'll end up more frustrated than inspired. If this ends up being the case, be honest. Tell your friend you love spending time with them but really need someone who sticks to the schedule so you can be held accountable for logging your daily miles. She'll either step up to the plate, or bow out — in which case you can save your quality time together for going-out nights instead.
On the flip side, a super-competitive pal can also get pretty annoying. Pick someone who is training for a similar distance you are and make sure your paces match up. If your friend doesn't have any races planned, explain to her that you'd love to have her join you to help you pace for your upcoming race. Just make sure you return the favor and do the same when it's her turn to start training for something.

Pace Yourself
One of the most common mistakes in choosing a running partner — which often ends in overtraining and risking injury — is running with someone who is on a significantly higher performance level than you, or who turns every run into a race.
"If one runner is a lot stronger, that person will always be pushing the pace," Benadum says. "The weaker runner won't magically rise to the level of the stronger runner just by trying to keep up all the time. Your running performance is improved by training for the right amount of time at different levels of intensity. Too much of one or the other will have adverse effects."
Not sure if your partner is pushing you too hard? Invest in a heart rate monitor like the Garmin Forerunner 410 ($249, garmin.com). It allows you to gauge how hard your body is working, regardless of what you think your level of exertion is. It also tracks time, miles, and calories burned by uploading data onto your computer after a run, so you can track your weekly progress.

Make New Friends
With all of the above in mind, realize that the title "best friend" doesn't mean "best" for everything. If you look to your friend to gab and gripe with, going on a run together isn't going to kill two birds with one stone.
But don't be bummed — running can actually be a way to make new friends. Ask a coworker who regularly runs to join you for a jog or join a local running club through the Road Runners Club of America (visit rrca.org for more information) to meet a network of striders to keep you going. "You want to find a winning balance of inspiration, accountability, motivation, hard work, and hopefully some good laughs and memories to boot," Benadum says.
Don't have the right schedule for a group? Benadum suggests looking into one of these sites to find a partner:
"Getting feedback is great fuel for running even if you don't have a partner," Benadum says. "Posting runs on social sites like Daily Mile and even Facebook offers the opportunity to always get feedback from other runners."

A Heartbreaking Finale to the European Women's Championship
Anna Muzychuk entered the last round of the European Women's Championship with a full point lead over her closest rivals on the strength of her win with Black against Viktorija Cmilyte in the previous round. A bit of bad luck was getting Black once again in the final round (a bit odd in the normal course of things, as not only normal color alternation but the rule that the higher-rated player/higher score-group player gets the color she's due would almost always guarantee her the white pieces). So that was one bit of good luck for her opponent, Valentina Gunina.
The second and bigger piece of luck came in the game. After 37.Rc1-d1, this position arose:
White is better, but 37...Rxh2 38.Rxd5 Rxh5 gives Black very good drawing chances. Another reasonable try is 37...Rb3+ 38.Kd4 and now 38...Be6. Unfortunately, Muzychuk came up with 37...Be6??, and in that way lost the European Women's Championship title. Gunina played 38.Rd8+ and Black resigned, as 38...Ke7 39.Nc6 is mate. (You can replay the whole game, with comments on the ending, here.) Gunina, Tatiana Kosintseva and Muzychuk all finished with 8.5/11 and won the medals in that order.
Very, very painful!

Now you can have the same brilliant sheen, healthy bounce and full, thick body as one deposed Illinois governor.
A suburban Chicago health-products company is marketing a new line of hair care products called "Blago It's Bleep'n Golden Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner."
Dennis Fath, whose company is making the products said inspiration for the Blago hair care products came to him in a dream.
"I woke up in the middle of the night with the idea," Fath, owner of Delta Labratories told the Chicago Tribune. "He does have a nice head of hair, and [I thought] it would be funny to have something named after him because of his hair."
What makes the shampoo and conditioner Blago worthy? Fath said it contains keratein and panthenol, which coat the individual hairs and make them feel thicker and look fuller, just like a corrupt politician's!
The products retail for $8 each (or $15 as a pair) and are only available through blagohair.com.
There have been no shortage of marketing campaigns attached to the loveable backroom deal maker from Illinois: NBC tried to recruit the governor for their show "I'm a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here," before a judge barred Blago from leaving the country; Second City, a Chicago improv institution has a show called "Rod Blagojevich Superstar; and a local burger joint called "Kuma's Korner" featured a Blagojevich burger whose main ingredient (besides beef) was a honking slice of baloney.
Surprisingly--- because it seems like such low hanging fruit--- this is the first hair care product to be attached to the former governor. Fewer than 100 bottles have been sold so far, but that could change once the former governor catches wind of the promotion. His quaff could use a bottle a week.
