- Stocks To Watch
Not Even Bad News Can Derail Gold Stocks Today

- Print Article
After getting shellacked yesterday, gold mining stocks are heading higher today--despite only a slight gain in the precious metal.
The Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) has gained 2.6% to $29.85 today at 10:35 a.m., while Barrick Gold (ABX) has climbed 3.2% to $20.30, Goldcorp (GG) has gained 3% to $30.80 and Newmont Mining (NEM) has risen 1.9% to $32.71. The SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD) has ticked up 0.2% today.
Even bad news has failed to dent the rise in gold stocks today. NewGold (NGD), for instance, has gained 1.8% to $7.49 despite the fact that the wall of one of its mines collapsed. The Wall Street Journalhas the details:
New Gold reported a pit fall movement at its Cerro San Pedro Mine in Mexico in which about 800,000 metric tons of material moved. It said no one was injured, but mining in the area has been temporarily suspended. It also said it expects Cerro San Pedro's 2013 production will be below original expectations.
Sterne Agee's Michael Dudas and Satyadeep Jain remain bullish on the precious-metal stocks:
So far in August, gold and silver equities are up 13% vs gold price increase of 7%. Gold managements have been quite focused on capital and cost initiatives in attempts to adjust their business towards a lower realized price range. Like the underlying metals, we believe the shares appear to be finding a base level of valuation. With investor sentiment still quite skeptical, any supportive macro news flow could provide fuel for a rally.
Their favorites include Newmontand Coeur Mining (CDE), which they rate Buy. They rate Barrick Gold Neutral.

The Preeclampsia Foundation announced today that Dr. Francesca Facco of Northwestern University and Dr. Frauke von Versen-Höynck are the recipients of its 2007 Vision Grants. These prestigious awards will be presented to Dr. Facco and Dr. von Versen-Höynck at the Foundation's annual benefit gala, "Saving Grace: A Night of Hope" on Saturday, October 27th at the Omni Parker House Hotel in Boston, MA. "The award is designed to support promising research as well as encourage outstanding young researchers," said J. Thomas Viall, the Foundation's Executive Director, "it is critical that we use these grants to inspire young talent; these grants can lead to a lifetime of science that is dedicated to preeclampsia research."
The grant submissions undergo a robust peer review process. Dr. Thomas R. Easterling, Professor of Maternal Fetal Medicine at the University of Washington and Chair of the Foundation's Medical Board stated, "The Board, in collaboration with the North American Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy, were pleased to recommend funding of two grants which were deemed the best of the 21 applications submitted to the Foundation. We hope that by funding young investigators and novel ideas we will advance the careers of investigators and encourage them to continue to improve the care of women affected by preeclampsia." He continued, "Dr. Facco's proposal hypothesizes that pregnant women with significant sleep-disordered breathing may be at greater risk of preeclampsia." Dr. Facco added, "The overall goal of the proposal is to evaluate the relationship between the two phenomena and I am thrilled that the Foundation's support will enable me to investigate this proposition more thoroughly." Dr. von Versen-Höynck's research addresses the critical issue of sub-optimal fetal growth, which is too often a complication of preeclampsia. Dr. von Versen-Höynck said, "I want to study how we might improve the flow of placental nutrition in these cases; I am so grateful to the Preeclampsia Foundation for these Vision Grants, they will make difference.
About the Vision Grant Award Recipients:
Dr. Francesca Facco is currently a second year maternal-fetal medicine fellow at Northwestern University. As part of her fellowship training she is enrolled in the Masters Degree Program in Clinical Investigation at Northwestern University. She attended Georgetown University for both college and medical school. She completed her residency training in obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University in 2008, and was chosen to serve as Chief Administrative Resident. Dr. Facco has been involved in several research projects, with a special interest in sleep disorders in pregnancy and their association with adverse pregnancy outcomes.
Dr. Frauke von Versen-Höynck is a physician with specialization in the field of maternal-fetal medicine. She completed her medical training in Germany, and started a postdoctoral fellowship at Magee Womens Research Institute at the University of Pittsburgh in late 2005.

Covering the Bases: Game 14
FIRST: Who believes in Lyle O? Well apparently some fans who put up this big banner out in center field. If I'm to believe the twittersphere, then apparently the people who put it up did not have the seats behind the sign, so they weren't allowed to sit there…
Obviously, I don't know that for a fact. And as the game went on, a few fans did wander over behind the sign to root on Overbay and the Jays. There were plenty of seats available for this one — roughly 39,000 or so. Toronto set another dubious record with a Rogers Centre-low 10,314 in attendance for the 8-1 romp of the Royals.
But I digress….
About that Overbay fellow. It's just one game and sample size and all that, but Overbay went 2-for-2 with two walks and he reached on catcher's interference to round out his five plate appearances. That's what we call progress, and at this point that's all the Jays are hoping to see from their starting first baseman.
"It's good for him," manager Cito Gaston said. "It's certainly not going to hurt his confidence at all. First time up, he hit that ball down the line. It's just got to help. We always talk about what comes first, confidence or success? It's always success and success breeds confidence, right? So hopefully he's off and rolling. We could really use him."
SECOND: Let's take a closer look at Overbay, Travis Snider, Jose Bautista and Mighty Mike McCoy in this one, shall we?
Coming into Monday's action, that quartet was hitting a robust .142 (22-for-155) with two homers and 13 RBIs. In Monday's win, OverSniBauCoy finished 9-for-15 with three homers (two from Bautista) and six RBIs (five from Bautista).
A big issue so far this season has been production beyond just Vernon Wells, Adam Lind and Alex Gonzalez. The Jays can only hope that the effort from the other guys is a sign of better things to come.
THIRD: So that's the Brandon Morrow the Blue Jays traded for, huh? For a few seasons, I remember covering Bad A.J. and Good A.J. when Mr. Burnett was with Toronto. Here's hoping we're not going to see a similar pattern with Mr. Morrow.
One positive from Monday's seven-inning gem — and it was indeed a gem — was that the outing was the result of a slight mechanical tweak by Morrow. At the urging of pitching coach Bruce Walton, Morrow lowered his arm slot ever so slightly.
"To me, it feels like I'm throwing sidearm," Morrow said. "But it's really not much at all."
Morrow had more movement on his pitches and better command. His curveball was strong, his sinker was heavy, and his fastball and slider were there as usual. The Royals? They looked baffled. So much so that they didn't record their first hit until one out in the sixth.
it was much better than the Morrow who allowed 12 runs over nine innings in his first two starts of the season…
"That goes without saying," he said.
HOME: Aaron Hill is due back from the disabled list on Friday. This begs the question: who gets bumped off the roster? The two main choices seem to be McCoy and Randy Ruiz, who each have plenty of options left, so there's no worrying about exposing them to waivers and all that.
In Monday's win, all McCoy did was go 3-for-4 with two stolen bases and two runs scored. One of those runs came when McCoy sprinted from second based and scored on a wild pitch in the third inning. He's fast. He's versatile. He's going to be a hard guy to send to the Minors if he has more games like this one.
With Overbay struggling, there's an argument to be made for keeping Ruiz around. If Overbay starts showing more signs of snapping out of his slump, well… we'll see. McCoy could wind up being expendible, especially with an extra outfielder (Fred Lewis) and extra infielder (John McDonald) already in the fold.
Then again, it's Randy Ruiz bobblehead night for Triple-A Vegas on Saturday…
2 Comments
I really like the point about bobblehead in the end. I really hate to see the addition of Fred Lewis, even though he's a pretty good player. sure he's a outstanding insurance policy for OFs, but at this point? I'd rather keep both Ruiz AND McCoy.
If Ruiz is sent down, is there anybody else on the roster with experience at 1B?
I know there was a lot of talk about Lind playing 1B. But I believe that he hasn't played 1B in the pro leagues.
If Overbay was out for a couple of days (minor injury not worth the DL) is there anybody besides Ruiz who could fill in adequately without a roster move?

First, as a somewhat belated thank you for being so welcoming to me when I first joined this board over 2 years ago, I just made my first donation to the Forums - so, thanks again for being part of and maintaining such a great community of hammock and outdoor lovers!
Even better though, I am instituting a new policy at TLG that I hope will allow me to contribute even more throughout the year. You've heard of '1% For the Planet', we can call this '1% For the Hammock Forums'. From this point forward, if you mention Hammock Forums when you make a purchase online (there's a 'Where did you hear about us?' question and HF.Net is an option) I will donate 1% of the proceeds from every one of those sales back to the forums! Whether you do a big group buy or the sales just come through individually here and there, I'm sure they will add up over time and hopefully allow me to give back much more than the small donation levels available through the site.
Additionally, I'm also welcoming and encouraging any of the other hammock companies represented in the forums to do the same and I hope that they will. It's obvious that there's a lot of hammocks and gear being bought as a result of the great discussions and recommendations on this board and if we all contribute 1% of those sales back to the HF community, we'll guarantee that the forums will continue to grow and become an even better resource for people looking to get into or learn more about hammocking. At the very least, it could be enough to buy some cool HF branded schwag.
Happy holidays everyone - stay warm!

Va. pick bemoaned 'slavish devotion'
The newly minted Republican nominee for lieutenant governor of Virginia once compared Planned Parenthood to the Ku Klux Klan and bemoaned black voters' "slavish devotion" to the Democratic Party — past statements that are likely to inflame the culture-war politics of the state's 2013 elections.
E.W. Jackson, a black minister and activist nominated for lieutenant governor Saturday, posted a four-minute video on YouTube last fall exhorting African-Americans to vote Republican. In the video message, he accused the "civil rights establishment" of selling out their Christian values in order to support Democratic policy positions on gay marriage and abortion.
Story Continued Below
"The Democrat Party has created an unholy alliance between certain so-called civil rights leaders and Planned Parenthood, which has killed unborn black babies by the tens of millions. Planned Parenthood has been far more lethal to black lives than the KKK ever was," Jackson says in the video.
( Also on POLITICO: Va. GOP launches tea party ticket)
And on the website of an advocacy group founded by Jackson, Staying True to America's National Destiny, the activist organization describes abortion as "the equivalent of an idolatrous offering to the god of 'sexual license.'"
"It is no different than in times past when pagans offered their babies on an altar of fire to assure their own good fortune," the STAND website says.
The emergence of Jackson as a standard-bearer for the Republican Party could have implications beyond the race for lieutenant governor. Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli has sought in recent months to keep his campaign message focused on jobs and economic concerns, while Democrats have assailed him for his staunchly conservative record on abortion and gay rights. The selection of Jackson for the GOP ticket may help keep social issues in the foreground of the 2013 debate.
( PHOTOS: Ken Cuccinelli's career)
The comments about Planned Parenthood in particular are incendiary: The abortion rights-supporting group ran web ads against Cuccinelli only this last week, and the Democratic Party of Virginia produced a wave of robo-calls accusing the state attorney general of "pursuing an ideological tea party agenda that bans abortion."
A Jackson adviser did not respond to emails seeking comment. Republican Party of Virginia spokesman Garren Shipley defended the candidate as a person of faith and predicted the 2013 elections would not hinge on social issues.
"It is no secret that E.W. Jackson has deeply held Christian conservative beliefs. But the race for lieutenant governor will be fought on economic ground as opposed to social policy. In the weeks and months ahead, Jackson will focus on ideas that produce more quality jobs for Virginians and make life easier for families and workers," Shipley said in an email.

Lindsay Lohan is not yet a free woman from her current rehabilitation stint at a Betty Ford Center home, but she did get a temporary reprieve of sorts.
E! Online reported that the actress was granted a day pass from the Center for good behavior. She was seen at her West Hollywood condominium as a result yesterday morning.
According to the story, an assistant to Lohan picked the actress up at the Betty Ford house a little before 8:30 in the morning, said a source. Both she and Lohan were at the condominium about 90 minutes later. Lohan was seen wearing a blue flannel top and black leggings.
Lohan was slated to return back to her Betty Ford residence last night, an E! source said. She is expected to stay at Betty Ford until Jan. 3.
Recently, it was reported by People that Lohan and her estranged father Michael met at the Center. "I thank God that she is in the place that she is in now," he told People after the visit. "And I love her and I am very, very, proud of how far she has come. Really, really proud."

Q&A with Freshman Middle Blocker Lauren Demos
Related Links
Freshman Lauren Demos has made quite an impact on the 15th-ranked UC San Diego Women's Volleyball team in her first year. Not only has the 6-1 middle blocker started all 23 matches for the 19-4 Tritons, she is third on the squad with 150 kills, has recorded 17 aces and leads the team in both solo blocks (11) and block assists (62). "I wasn't really planning on Lauren starting this year but she rose to the top in pre-season, has stayed consistent and continued to improve weekly," says Head Coach Ricci Luyties. "She has a 'never quit mentality' and her court presence helps get the team going. She's definitely not playing like a freshman anymore." With the final three regular season games on tap this week and the post-season looming, the Newport Beach native spent some time talking about her team, the transition from high school to college volleyball and what the future might hold for the Tritons.
Q-Your team has won its last nine matches in a row. In your opinion, what have been the strengths of the team over these past four weeks?
DEMOS-We have been practicing in a game-like manner and have come to realize that we can't have a "light-switch" mentality and turn it on when it is game time. We are investing time in goal setting, team chemistry, and the individual responsibility of giving all that you can give to the team each day; those intangible things have been our strengths in the past weeks. We have done a great job of implementing them in the gym each day at practice in an effort to carry them over to game time.
Q-This latest winning streak came on the heels of a stretch where the team lost four times in a five-match span. What changed?
DEMOS-When we were at Cal State East Bay a few weeks ago, we were down 2-0 and nothing was clicking. All of a sudden we recognized that we weren't smiling and having fun. We were playing like six individuals rather than a cohesive unit. Although it was hard at first, we pasted smiles on our faces and really focused on playing with enthusiasm, playing for each other, and taking care of our side of the net. We came back to win that match and we haven't lost since. One of our main focuses has become our chemistry and the atmosphere when we are playing, and when we all buy into having fun, great things have been happening!
Q-All indicators point towards UCSD being invited to the NCAA West Regionals in two weeks. What are your feelings as the playoffs become more of a reality?
DEMOS-I am so excited! We have worked very hard to put ourselves in a great position for Regionals. I still don't think that this team has peaked yet and I believe that our best volleyball is still ahead of us.
When we are playing together and playing with a purpose we are a force to be reckoned with. I honestly believe that we have a shot at winning Regionals. That being said, as a freshman this is all new to me and although I love the the thrill of a "do or die" bracket, I would be lying if I said that I wasn't a bit nervous too.
Roxie Brunsting told me once that we can always have confidence in how hard we work, and because the team has worked so hard this season, we can go into Regionals confident that we have what it takes.
Q-As a freshman, what has been the biggest adjustment you've had to make moving from club/high school volleyball to the collegiate level?
DEMOS-I am very thankful that I came from programs at Laguna Beach VBC and Newport Harbor that were fast, rigorous, and competitive on the national scale; they prepared me as much as it was possible for making the jump to the collegiate level. However, I still had to make an adjustment to the system that Coach Luyties runs and the technical details of my game that needed to be changed in order to fit into that system. My footwork paths, spacing with the setters, and blocking movements, for example, needed to be adjusted in order to mesh with the way that the returners played. It is an ongoing process but I am pleased with how I have adjusted thus far.
Q-Your first day of practice at UCSD, what was your biggest surprise?
DEMOS-The first day of practice started off with a running test that I had been training for for weeks in the summer time. As much as I attempted to prepare, there is nothing quite like seeing Coach with a stopwatch and lining up next to your teammates on the end line with your stomach in knots and adrenaline pumping. It was rough, as most conditioning tests are, but what surprised me the most was the immense encouragement, and support that I felt from my teammates whom I hardly knew at that point. The girls were full of Bible verses of encouragement, pats on the back, and phrases to fire me up. As the new kid on the block, I expected there to be a gap between me and the returners; I expected to have to pass that test on my own. I quickly came to find out that I wouldn't have to do anything alone again, these girls were always going to be by my side.
Q-Both you and another true freshman, Amber Hawthorne, have stepped right into the starting lineup. How has that chemistry with the upperclassmen worked out?
DEMOS-I am still amazed at how quickly Amber and I gelled with the older girls. The chemistry has been absolutely phenomenal and I often times get the feeling that we have all been playing together longer than just a few short months. Granted, Amber and I have had to work very hard to immediately perform in a collegiate system and earn the respect of the upperclassmen, but I am proud of how smoothly it has gone. I love nothing more than to be out there with those girls, and I recognize the honor that it is to be playing alongside them. I have learned so much from playing with them; the experience that Amber and I are gaining this season will surely help us over the next years and I am excited to journey through my collegiate career with her.
Q-What's the most valuable lesson or advice you've received from a returning player?
DEMOS-With five graduating seniors, I have really tried to retain every ounce of wisdom that the older girls have given me. I have a bulletin board with lots of quotes from my teammates in addition to other more famous great minds. Roxie has been such a source of knowledge for me and I value her insight immensely. It is hard to pick her most valuable piece of advice, but she once told me, "Remember to enjoy and love where you are at even though you are always trying to be better." This gives me a sense of peace and happiness in the midst of a constant uphill battle to be the best student, player, teammate, and daughter that I can be.
Q-How does Coach Ricci Luyties compare with other coaches you've had? How has he helped your game?
DEMOS-Coach Luyties is a legendary player and a phenomenal coach that I believe really understands the workings of an athlete's mind. He gives less feedback and lets us play through things, allowing us to work them out on our own. The feedback that he gives is meaningful and applicable the very next play. This instills a sort of confidence in his players, and it is evident that he really trusts and believes in the girls that he puts out there. Technically, he has helped me to improve a lot in just a short amount of time, but even more than that he is helping to instill a confidence in myself that I haven't necessarily felt from a coach before. It is doing wonders for my game.
Q-What is the most difficult aspect of the middle blocker position?
DEMOS-I have always been a middle blocker and so I don't know anything different, but it's a lot of work. Being a middle is tough physically: you have to be up in transition on every play and be able to read and react both vertically and laterally to the offense on the other side in a fraction of a second. Middles usually have less offensive attempts than a pin player, and one interesting aspect of a middle's success is how well they can hold the blockers so that their teammates can score. If I get up in the air and don't get set the ball but Katie, Hillary, or Roxie only has one blocker and gets a kill, I know that I did my job successfully! A selfless mindset is essential to being a middle.
Q-How much "choreography" is involved in the typical collegiate volleyball offense? Explain to the novice fan what happens once the other team serves the ball.
DEMOS-Our setters give us hand signals prior to the serve that tell us what specific set we are supposed to hit. Roxie and Amber do a great job of coordinating our offense and they always have a great plan for helping us to score. The plays that they choose to run depend on where we start passing on the court and how we can deceive the other team, while keeping in mind who our best weapon is at the time.
There is usually quite a bit of crossing of hitters and running inside or outside in order to achieve this. If the other team gets on a serving run we usually shift around and change up the play to give our offense a new look. However, there is always an aspect of impromptu to an offensive play because of the variety of the pass. Collegiate volleyball offense is quite the art, if you ask me!
Q-What challenges have you experienced in balancing your academic responsibilities and being on the volleyball team?
DEMOS-I was realistic with myself and knew that it was going to be difficult, but it has been very hard to balance it all and maintain the standards that I have set for myself. The most difficult part is the mental fatigue. I take pride in being "checked in" whenever I am on the court, watching video, visualizing, or goal setting, but often times I am so mentally spent after practice or a match that it becomes difficult to muster up the mental fortitude to read a 20-plus page article on French art history! My homework has to be done not just so that I can check it off of my to-do list, but done to the very best of my ability. In essence, you have to be on top of your mental game all day long, both athletically and academically.
Q-Are there personal traits or skills that help with both aspects of your college life?
DEMOS-My enthusiasm and faith have helped immensely both athletically and academically. I feel that if you love what you are doing you are going to do it better and more thoroughly, no matter if it is a specific drill in practice or writing a midterm paper. If you are joyful and enthusiastic about each task or opportunity you are given, great things are going to happen. My Christian faith has helped me to find purpose and joy in even the most rudimentary tasks.
Q-You're a political science major in Roosevelt College. What has been your most interesting class during the fall quarter?
DEMOS-I have thoroughly enjoyed my POLI 12 class: Introduction to International Relations. that I am taking with teammate Edrina Nazaradeh. We have been learning about the causes of war and exploring the different political actors and political systems that influence both interstate conflict and periods of peace. Professor Roeder is phenomenal and has given tools that allow me to digest and interpret the events of the current international state through a different lens that I would have prior to this quarter.
Q-Did you play any other sports as a youngster? What got you started with volleyball and what's kept you playing?
DEMOS-My heart has always been in volleyball. My sister Carey, who was also played middle blocker, is nearly eight years older than me, so I started going to club volleyball tournaments when I was just two years old.
I did a lot of growing up on the hardwood floor of random volleyball gyms and I always wanted to get as close to the "big girls' bench" as I could. I wanted to be in the action and I wanted to play. I feel like my love for the game, the sheer thrill of competition, and the nature of the sport are innate to my being and I couldn't imagine my life without it, but that is because I never have had to! I started playing club in fifth grade at age 10 and by then I already knew that I wanted to play collegiately. It's great to think that I am living out my childhood dream!
Q-Was there ever a competitive thing between the two of you? What impact did she have on your career?
DEMOS-I am a lot younger than Carey so we never had any competitive rifts or went head-to-head. She has impacted my career immensely and has been such a phenomenal role model for me as I have grown into the person and athlete that I am today. When I was younger I wanted to be just like her, and as I grew I strove to be even better. I used to follow her around the house and wear her old jerseys to tournaments. I can ask her technical questions, vent to her and celebrate with her, and she will be completely honest with me in all of it. She and her husband live in New York City now and it has been very hard not having them in the stands cheering me on as I had envisioned. I am thankful for Live Stats and the occasional video streaming she can still have as big of an impact on my collegiate career as she did in getting me to this point.
Q-You came from Newport Beach to La Jolla for college. What are the best things about both locales? Anything you miss from home?
DEMOS-Southern California is paradise and I am very thankful that it worked out for me to stay and go to school here. We are blessed with a fabulous ocean view from our home in Newport and now when I walk from RIMAC to ERC I get to experience the same awe of the ocean's beauty.
Newport and La Jolla both boast great food and lots of activities, which I love. Despite their similarities, I miss the comforts of home, like my big bed, neatly folded laundry, the smell of fresh flowers and the stocked pantry. I have been home once since the season began and I literally kissed the hardwood floor when I entered and ran around the house in appreciation of the little things that I had taken for granted before. But more than anything I miss the constant interaction with my family, because when all of those comforts are taken away, that family relationship becomes even more essential.
Q-When you're not playing volleyball, going to class or studying, how do you like to spend your time?
DEMOS-To be honest, I usually take a "power nap" or head to Cafe Ventanas to refuel my body because those three activities are so draining! In season it is hard to have time for much else! But I absolutely love to read. As corny as it may sound, I love the smell of ink on the pages and the crisp edge of the paper between my fingers. I love to escape for a little while into the world of another character and experience a different life through their eyes. Right now I am reading Little Bee by Chris Cleave, which is an artfully written story about the intertwining of the lives of a British woman and a Nigerian refugee. I can't wait to dive back into it!
Q-What kind of potential do you think this team has moving into the NCAA Playoffs?
DEMOS-I am confident that this team has what it takes to win Regionals and advance into the NCAA Playoffs. I believe so much in the wisdom of our coaches and in the physical, mental, and emotional capabilities of these girls, that if we stay focused and driven there isn't anything stopping us from hoisting a National Championship banner in RIMAC. Someone is going to win the Championship this year. Why not us?

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – With allowing just three shots in the entire contest, the Georgia College soccer team (9-7-1, 4-5-1 PBC) won its third in a row Wednesday, downing Georgia Southwestern State University (2-13-1, 0-11 PBC) by a 2-0 score at Bobcat Field.
Both goals came in the first half. Sophomore Lindsey Knott (Macon, Ga.) tallied her first goal of the season and the second of her career just over 23 minutes into the game. Classmates Kessler Matheson (Martinez, Ga.) and Abby Dalton (Macon, Ga.) teamed up for the assists, as Matheson sent a pass to the corner, Dalton gathered then found Knott on a runner. Knott knocked a low roller to the right corner for what would be the game-winner.
With 5:24 left in the half, sophomore Rebekah Autry (Winder, Ga.) recorded her second goal in as many games, taking a well-placed corner from Ashley Veilleux (Monroe, Ga.) low and to the left side for the 2-0 lead.
Annie Stephens (Fayetteville, Ga.) and Taylor Cornelius (Dacula, Ga.) split the game in goal, Cornelius making the only save needed.
Dalton's assist total is seven on the season, just one away from the school record; set by both Natalie Thomas (2005) and Beth Coughlin (2007). Dalton's two-year total of 10 is fifth in school history, also tied with Coughlin.
The Bobcats are back in action Saturday, Oct. 27 at 3 p.m., wrapping up the regular season by hosting Flagler College for Senior Day.

Mathematics (2002-2003)
Admission | Courses | Program | Requirements
Department Chairperson: Iraj Kalantari
Graduate Faculty
Associate Graduate Faculty
The Department of Mathematics offers a program of graduate study leading to the Master of Science degree with a variety of courses in pure and applied mathematics and statistics. The requirements are highly flexible, allowing a student to arrange a program of study which will serve as a basis for further graduate study, meet the immediate and changing needs of teachers of mathematics and other educators, or prepare the candidate for a position in industry, business, or government.
Students entering the program should normally have completed an undergraduate
degree program including course work equivalent to a major in mathematics.
Other students may be admitted at the discretion of the Departmental Graduate
Committee with admission usually conditional upon the student completing
specified deficiencies. The Graduate Record Examination is not required.
The M.S. degree in mathematics may be earned under one of three plans. In each plan the student will have successfully completed the following four core courses:
Oral Examination Plan. (30 semester hours) Under this plan, the student must earn 30 graduate semester hours in approved course work, including the core courses, and pass an oral examination. Of the 30 semester hours, at least 15 must be in 500-level courses. The oral examination is over a portion of the student's course work. Students may choose this portion with the approval of their advisory committee.
Thesis Plan. (33 semester hours) Including the core courses, the student must earn 30 semester hours in approved course work and three semester hours of MATH 600, Thesis. Of the 30 semester hours in course work, at least 15 must be in 500-level courses. The thesis may be either expository, historical, critical, or original and must be approved by the student's advisory committee. The student will present his/her thesis to the mathematics department faculty in a colloquium.
Course Work Plan. (36 semester hours) The student must earn 36 semester hours in approved course work including the core courses. Of these, at least 18 semester hours must be in 500-level courses.
A student who has completed a course equivalent to any of the core courses as a part of the undergraduate program would, of course, be exempted from that course requirement. Also, candidates who hold secondary school teaching certification may, with permission of the Graduate Committee, substitute course work in geometry for any one of the courses mentioned above except MATH 435G, Introduction to Real Variables I.
Students may, with approval of the Graduate Committee, include up to six semester hours in a cognate area such as biology, chemistry, physics, economics, computer science, etc. If education is chosen as a cognate area, no more than nine semester hours of the program may be completed in mathematics methods and education courses.
A student may receive credit for the maximum number of transfer and extension hours allowed by the School of Graduate Studies.
Each graduate assistant is required to complete at least nine semester hours in Mathematics in each semester of the first year. Any exception to this policy must be approved in writing by the Graduate Committee.

Hi Dave, 1) I support your suggestion as drafted in the attachment. 2) Although I believe there is a typing mistake:
And he said: you need a new <quote its:term="yes" its-info-term-ref="http://www.directron.com/motherboards1.html" its-term-confidence="0.5">motherboard</quote>
 I believe its-info-term-ref should actually be its-term-info-ref?! 3) Also, just a comment (our systems won't be affected, but...) - why do you want to restrict the values to be from 0 to 1? In statistics it is quite common to use also LOG-scale probabilities (because of otherwise small numbers in some cases). Is it necessary to restrict users to a 0 to 1 interval? I would suggest leaving the decision up to the user's. Also - the tools will have to be identified anyway. This means that the users will be able to identify (if needed) from the systems how to parse (understand) the confidence scores. This is a general question that applies to other confidence scores as well. 4) I agree that in the current proposal it would not be reasonable to add a confidence score as in multiple domain scenario it would be misleading/wrong and it would require a different solution (For instance, similar to how domains can be marked). Best regards, Mārcis ;o) ________________________________________ No: Dave Lewis [email@example.com] Nosūtīts: otrdiena, 2012. gada 13. novembrī 19:30 Kam: Multilingual Web LT Public List Tēma: Fwd: [action 265] data category specific confidence scores Hi all, To try and wrap up this point: Summary of Discussion so far: 1) text analytics annotation was proposed as a way of offering a confidence score for text analytics results. As with mtconfidence score, the tools annotaiton is now covered by the itsTool feature, but the proposal for confidence scores remains 2) Marcis pointed out, using real world terminology use cases, that we may have several annotations operating on the same fragment, so applying a confidence score to different text analytics annotations with a single data category won't work in these cases because of complete override. Also, if we used text analytics annotation with annotation from other data categories we are breaking our 'no dependencies between data category rules'. 3) We could overcome the complete override problems using standoff mark up as in loc quality issue and provenance. But as confidence score would be different for each annotated fragment, that would result in very big stand-off records, and we would still be breaking the data cat dependencies rule. So this doesn't seem a realistic option 4) so the suggestion discussed in Lyon was to drop text analytics annotation altogether as a separate data category and focus on adding confidence attributes to the existing data categories that would benefit from it. so..... Proposal: I therefore suggest the following and we need your feedback by friday 16th Nov so we can wrap this up on the monday call! For those extended with confidence score (terminology, disambiguation) please express your support and any comments by friday - if we don't receive any we will definitely drop these suggestions. Marcis, Tadej in particular, please consider review these. For exclusions (domain, localizationQualityissue), this is your last chance to counter-argue in favour of including, otherwise assume these are dropped also. i) confidence for terminology: as suggested by Marcis (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-multilingualweb-lt/2012Nov/0028.html), revised data category as word revisions attached (addition to local definition, note on its-tools and example 38) ii) confidence for disambiguation: revised data category as word revisions attached (addition to local definition, note on its-tools and ex 52) iii) domain: I suggest excluding this as an annotation to which we attach a confidence score. Its not clear that the use of text analytics to identify domain, while feasible, actually represents a real use case for interoperability mark-up. If use it would probably be internalized by the MT engine. Also, since there are multiple domain values the semantics of a single confidence score is unclear. iv) localizationQualityIssue: i suggest also excluding this as an annotation to which we attach confidence scores. The use of statistical text analytics doesn't seem common for QA tasks. One exception is the recent innovation by digital lingusitics whose Review Sentinel product ranks translation but a TA assessment for QA purposes - but this innovative and not current practice, so its probably not yet a concrete use case. cheers, DaveReceived on Tuesday, 13 November 2012 19:57:07 UTC

Historic lacrosse game at DU, pregame
Is this the biggest Sunday sporting event in DU history? I've been on this beat since 1995 and I can't think of a bigger one. On my way into Peter Barton Stadium I saw two scalpers, and I don't think I have ever seen scalpers at a Pioneers' event.
What's at stake: The DU men's lacrosse team (13-2) puts its program-record 10-game winning streak on the line against Villanova (11-4) in an NCAA Tournament first-round game at Barton Stadium. This is the first Division I tournament game west of the Mississippi River, and this 2,000-seat facility is already rockin'.
Barton Stadium was sold out by Tuesday and the 500 lawn ticket on the east side of the field, behind the fence, were quickly scooped up and already about 30 percent full, an hour before the 3:15 p.m. start. Last night I saw some crafty students were selling their dorm room view for $500 on craigslist, to watch the game high above the west goal. Fans who try to watch the game outside the fences will be "encouraged" to go inside Hamilton Gym and watch things unfold on a big screen at no charge.
Finally, DU senior attackman Todd Baxter, as expected, is not playing. He suffered knee and ankle injuries last weekend and will be replaced on the top line by sophomore Eric Law of Centennial. Baxter is walking around the field during warm-ups with shorts and a leg boot (no crutches). I hear he has a good chance of returning next week if the Pioneers win today and face Johns Hopkins on Saturday in New York. Baxter has 99 career points.
Good times.

The Phelan Mansion made for a perfect venue for this fantastic event. Mid-Life Crisis with the vocals of Jennifer Parker (fab when she sang Barbara Lynn's song "You Lose A Good Thing") was followed by the terrific sounds of Three Car Garage. Gourmet goodies were prepared by Bando's Catering, and no one seemed to go home hungry.

DirecTV and Viacom Reach Agreement for Return of Viacom's 17 Channels Including Extensive New Digital Rights for DirecTV Customers
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- DirecTV has reached a new long-term agreement with Viacom to restore 17 channels (including Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, MTV, BET, Spike, CMT, TV Land and ten other channels) that Viacom had taken away from DirecTV customers on July 10. Viacom has returned all affected networks.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
In addition to the channels' return, DirecTV customers will also gain the ability to see Viacom programming on tablets, laptops, handhelds and other personal devices via the DirecTV Everywhere platform. Carriage of the EPIX movie channel is not required as part of the new agreement.
"We are very pleased to be able to restore the channels to our customers and thank them for their unprecedented patience and support," said Derek Chang, executive vice president of Content Strategy and Development for DirecTV. "It's unfortunate that Viacom took the channels away from customers to try to gain leverage, but in the end, it's clear our customers recognized that tactic for what it was."
Chang added, "The attention surrounding this unnecessary and ill-advised blackout by Viacom has accomplished one key thing: it serves notice to all media companies that bullying TV providers and their customers with blackouts won't get them a better deal. It's high time programmers ended these anti-consumer blackouts once and for all and prove our industry is about enabling people to connect to their favorite programs rather than denying them access."
The dispute helped generate significant public support from hundreds of thousands of customers and also, surprisingly enough, many high-profile DirecTV competitors. The 850 small and independently owned local cable systems that make up the American Cable Association joined the anti-blackout chorus, as did Cox Communications, Time Warner Cable and Mediacom.
About DirecTV:

For a beauty blogger, I am pretty lazy when it comes to skincare – I have low commitment and reject anything that gives me an allergic reaction quite quickly.
I have been using SkinCeuticals or the last 3 months – that's dedication for ya!
My skin type is dry, but I get blackheads and visible pores. I also get a lot of redness from sensitivity on my cheeks. My skin will get oily over the duration during the day. My goal is to get the blackhead under control, have bouncy hydrated skin with good clarity! I'm starting to get fine wrinkles so this is a concern too.
Anyway here is my line up:
What's good about SkinCeuticals is that you can be 'prescribed' your own skincare routine so you can address specific concerns.
My routine was:SkinCeuticals splits it's products up into a few categories, Cleanse & Tone, Prevent, Correct, Moisturize and Protect.
Use Phloretin CF (Prevent)
Use Phyto Corrective (Correct)
Use Emollience where skin is dry (Moisturize)
Use Retexturing Activator (Correct)
Use Phyto Corrective (Correct)
Use Emollience where skin is dry (Moisturize)
Simple really.
I've been using these products together so really it's a bit tricky to spilt up the reviews but I will try to describe each product.
SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF
They say that Phloretin CF is good for:
• Diminishing age spots and other forms of hyperpigmentation
• Accelerating cell removal
• Improving laxity
• Retexturizing skin
• Oily, problematic, and normal skin
This serum is a liquid texture, and it smells like coffee! Yep, every time I apply it I imagine a latte. This serum sinks into the skin quickly, is sticky for about 30 seconds as it sinks in then there's no trace of it on the skin.
I was worried about this at first – I wasn't sure if it was causing some kind of allergy on some red patches I had on my face but within a few days, my skin was fine with it.
I do think that this product improved the brightness of my skin – it says that this product helps with hyperpigmentation and after 3 months my skin was brighter overall.
SkinCeuticals Retexturing Activator
They say: This unique treatment contains a 25% concentration of a paradoxal compound discovered to be highly effective at promoting cell differentiation while optimizing the skin's amino acid supply to reinforce the barrier, resulting in the most efficient epidermal renewal. Potent without harsh side effects, Retexturing Activator is formulated in an efficient, oil-free delivery system suitable for all skin types.
According the the website, this Retexturing Activator does all kinds of things! In my case, it's supposed to work on my dullness and exfoliate my skin.
I used this at night time and I did have the most problems with this product at first. I think it was the 'resurfacing' at work! I felt that my skin went a bit bumpy, almost like the dead skin was coming off – an example is like when you've got too much sun and a chunk of skin falls off. It was like that – not gross, not visible to other people but since I see my face under magnification and see all the faults, it was clear to me.
It took about 2 weeks for my skin to smooth out again, and then, boy was it smooth! I think this product helped with my pores too – they were still there obviously but looked firmer, smaller.
Also this serum is light, quite runny but really nice on the skin. Once again you pat it on and it disappears
SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Gel
They Say:
• Excellent oil-free hydrator for acneic skin
• Contains anti-inflammatory cucumber and anti-bacterial thyme to soothe and calm irritated skin
• Helps prepare skin for rejuvenating procedures, reducing post-treatment redness
• Plant glycosides help minimize discoloration
• Optimal for sensitive or problematic skin
As I mentioned before, sensitivity and redness is a huge thing for me. I absolutely adore Medik8's Red Alert Serum (for people on a budget) although that has a oil base which I don't like so much.
Phyto Corrective Gel is for sensitive skin, and once again like the other products I've used here, it takes a small amount of time for the skin to adjust. This one is scented – I think? It has quite a sweet smell and leaves more of a sticky finish than the others (it's a gel).
This means though, that is is quite hydrating.
I felt this did quite a good job calming down my skin. I'd say it didn't necessarily tone down the redness although it made everything feel calmer (ie. removing itchiness).
Finally Emollience!
They say: Three nutrient-rich Brazilian sea algae nourish and hydrate the skin, while oils of grape seed, rose hip, and macadamia restore and maintain moisture. Emollience is ideal for high altitudes and cold or dry climates.
Now, on a warm day I found 2 serums were ok but my skin got dry as the day went on so this cream was a godsend. I kinda like that this cream is very much here for adding hydration and not anything else.
When it comes to moisture I think it works really well. I do think you can always get other moisturisers of course although I think this compliments the other products in the SkinCeuticals range (it doesn't feel to heavy despite the layering).
This is a rich moisturiser though – if you need a bit of moisture and not lots, it may feel too heavy for you.
It has a mildly nutty smell to me. Perhaps it's the macadamia! This tub will last forever because alongside the serums you only need small amounts. Too much and I found it may give you little spots.
I've been dying to try SkinCeuticals skincare for so long because I've heard so many good things about it, but let's not kid – the range is very pricey and investing (it is an investment because of the cost of buying a selection of products!) is a risk if you haven't tried it before.
I was sent these to try from PR so I had nothing to lose really (apart from some potential skin allergies).
I can tell you that this skincare range is BRILLIANT. It is the most effective skincare range I have used so far in my life.
Is my skin perfect after using these? No. I inspect my skin using a magnified mirror and I can tell you it is not perfect. But it is on the way to becoming skin that is it excellent condition – I still have blackheads but they're less apparent and appear less often.
I still have visible pores but they are smaller. I still get redness sometimes but my skin overall is calmer – if anything sets my skin off now, it's a new make up product.
The overall brightness and tone of my skin is much better. It's felt like the range has treated my skin deeper down that other ranges have in the past.
I'm not wrinkly anyway but I have noticed my face is less creasy. I don't have any crows feet and I don't want any to form, thank ye very much.
I actually stopped using this range a week ago because I felt it was time to give another skincare range a try and I missed this so much I went back to it. I will wean myself off this to try other skincare, just give me time.
This leads me to the downside…
The price. This range is expensive. £53 for Emollience, £50 for the Phyto Corrective Gel, £73 for the Retexuring Activator, £142 for the Phloretin CF. I am worried my skin has been spoilt, like my cat when she's been fed fresh baked chicken then is put back on Go Cat.
For me, I will pay a premium price for skincare if it works. I'd consider mixing it up a bit in the future – the Phloretin CF is the stand out for me so the one I am most likely to rebuy whilst using other products alongside it, for example using a different hydrator and a different serum for redness. I'm happy using cheaper ranges for cleansing and toning.
I will definitely say that if you are interested in trying this range, then definitely ask one of their reps which products would be best for your skin type and concern. Perhaps get a small sample if you can.
Check out the SkinCeuticals range here.
What is your favourite skincare range? Would you pay the price for good skincare?

Barry University has an active chapter of Phi Sigma Tau. The chapter, along with Theta Alpha Kappa, regularly presents debates on current issues. Members of the chapter also recently argued for more inclusivity within the Society, drafting a letter to the national office calling for a change in the induction ceremony wording; the ceremony currently alludes to "streams of world thought" without mentioning aboriginal traditions, much of which is philosophically significant.
Phi Sigma Tau has been a member of the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS) since 1958. A national honor society in philosophy, Phi Sigma Tau encourages the highest ideals of academic excellence through presentation of papers and debates on philosophical issues. Undergraduate students are eligible for membership after they have completed three semesters of class work.

Redeployment of a connector module maintains all connector connection pools, connector resources, and administered objects defined for the previously deployed connector module. You do not need to reconfigure any of these resources.
However, you should redeploy any dependent modules. A dependent module uses or refers to a connector resource of the redeployed connector module. Redeployment of a connector module results in the shared class loader reloading the new classes. Other modules that refer to the old resource adapter classes must be redeployed to gain access to the new classes. For more information about class loaders, see Chapter 2, Class Loaders, in Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 Application Development Guide.
During connector module redeployment, the server log provides a warning indicating that all dependent applications should be redeployed. Client applications or application components using the connector module's resources may throw class cast exceptions if dependent applications are not redeployed after connector module redeployment.
To disable automatic redeployment, set the --force option to false. In this case, if the connector module has already been deployed, Enterprise Server provides an error message.
