For any claim, Taimingu may elect to resolve the dispute in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. If Taimingu elects arbitration, such arbitration will be initiated through an established alternative dispute resolution (ADR) provider, which is to be selected by you from a panel of ADR providers that Taimingu will provide to you.

If any proceeding by or against you is commenced under any provision of any bankruptcy or insolvency law, Taimingu will be entitled to recover all reasonable costs or expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Terms of Service.
Taimingu's failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.
Some of the Websites will display rates in the local currency of that Website, in addition to the actual amount. These rates are based on a conversion from the originating currency using indicative market exchange rates. You understand and agree that these rates are only indicative and the amount specified in the origin currency is the actual amount.

We reserve the right to reject any request for a conversion of currency at any time.

Ali Farag and Amanda Sobhy are ranked No. 1 entering the CSA Individual Championships (photos courtesy Dale Walker).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Members of the Harvard men's and women's squash teams will travel to Amherst, Mass. this weekend for the College Squash Association (CSA) Individual Championships. Amherst College will serve as the host for the three-day event, which features 160 of the top collegiate squash players in the nation.
The CSA individual championships are comprised of four tournaments, two men's and two women's. Each group has a main draw, where the top 32 players battle for the national championship, and a second tournament, which is comprised of 48 student-athletes. The women play for the Ramsay and Holleran cups, while the men compete for the Pool Trophy and Molloy Cup.
The Harvard men have won 33 Pool Trophies, awarded to the best male player in college squash, while the women have taken 11 Ramsay Cups, the female equivalent. In 2010, Crimson student-athletes took both titles, as Colin West '10 and Laura Gemmell were crowned individual national champions.
This year's brackets are filled with Harvard players. The Crimson's top player is seeded No. 1 in each main draw tournament, as sophomore Ali Farag and freshman Amanda Sobhy are the men' and women's favorites according to the CSA. A total of seven women and six men will represent Harvard in Amherst.
All seven women's players, who helped the Crimson to the CSA team national championship Feb. 26, will take part in the Ramsay Cup tournament. Gemmell also garnered a seed, as the junior and former champion is ranked No. 3. Millie Tomlinson of Yale, last year's individual champion, is seeded No. 2. For the complete list of women's individual rankings, click here.

Drivers in a long-running labor dispute with three trucking companies at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach began what they said would be an indefinite strike Monday.
The impact on the movement of cargo around the sprawling port complex, the main gateway for hundreds of billions of dollars of trade with Asia, was limited in the strike's first hours. But the threat of a broader disruption loomed if striking truckers take their pickets from offices of their employers to the dockside terminals where ships are loaded and unloaded.
The truckers say the companies have prevented them from unionizing and improperly classified them as contractors — rather than full-time employees — to minimize wages and benefits. They say that their paychecks often amount to below minimum wage and have filed lawsuits and complaints with state and federal labor agencies to change their status. Companies counter that pay is good and those picketing do not represent the majority of drivers.
On Monday, dozens of people picketed outside the yards of Green Fleet Systems, Total Transportation Services, Inc. and Pacific 9 Transportation, Inc., according to Barb Maynard, a spokeswoman for a campaign to organize truckers. The three trucking companies have approximately 400 trucks registered at the Port of Los Angeles — about 10 percent of those that operate on a regular day.
Spokesmen at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach said cargo was moving normally during the day, though several terminals were closed to honor a holiday that commemorates the killing of several dockworkers during the 1930s, when organizers succeeded in forming what has become a union with huge leverage at ports up and down the West Coast.
Members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union are currently working without a contract — their six-year deal with the association representing shipping lines and port terminal operators at 29 West Coast ports expired July 1. Both the union and the Pacific Maritime Association have said they do not want a disruption in the flow of goods.
That could be a challenge if truckers picket dockside terminals, as Maynard said would happen if trucks from the three companies make those runs.
During past trucker strikes at the ports, dockworkers have walked off in solidarity but returned within hours when an arbitrator ruled the job action was not permissible under the contract. With no contract in place, the arbitration process does not have the same force. In other words, if dockworkers walk, there isn't a mechanism to force them back.
International Longshore and Warehouse Union spokesman Craig Merrilees would not speculate over what dockworkers might do if picketers set up outside marine terminals. A spokesman for the maritime association had no comment.

Brunch at J&G Steakhouse
June 20, 2010 by Becca
A note from the Bitches: this restaurant is now closed. It's been rebranded to Pinea.
Can you smell the power? When you're brunching at Jean-Georges Vongerichten's J&G Steakhouse in the W Hotel, it's likely coming from the White House a block away or the Treasury just across the street. Or perhaps it's coming from the table right next to you.
In fact, the entire restaurant oozes DC power. It's nothing but velvet couches, tall windows, white columns, and high ceilings (the ceilings even have a shimmery pink cherry blossom pattern on them). It's the kind of place that'll be written about in a Vanity Fair article in ten years, starring a senator's daughter and an administration official having their quiet brunch the morning after a scandalous romp in the W.
Glamour. Power. I can smell it.
I had been to J&G Steakhouse once before, for dinner with clients, and we commandeered its private dining room. The steaks, the wine, the service—everything was phenomenal. It was a dinner so seamless, the entire thing is just one blurry memory of satisfaction. That's how dining should be.
Brunch there was much the same, albeit a bit more sterile and quiet. Completely a la carte, the menu is crafted to give you the classic brunch fare with a pinky out: soups and salads, eggs, breakfast meats, and a variety of sides. And of course, you can order one of their incredible steaks, too.
To whet the appetite we ordered a blood orange mimosa and their lychee raspberry bellini, which is made with lychee raspberry puree and Zardetto prosecco. That pretty pink concoction was like perfume in a drink—so tasty—and thick enough to be an appetizer.
Because everything was quite pricey (read: I gagged when I got the check), we decided to try only one of the appetizers on the menu, and the tuna sounded the best. It was the perfect way to start: pristine slices of tuna crusted in rice cracker crumbles sitting in citrus chili sauce. Delicious, but unfortunately that's where the culinary creativity ended.
For entrees, we went with the buttermilk pancakes and one of the egg dishes. I tried the scrambled eggs, which were ladled with crab meat, tomato and basil. The food was fine; nothing to lose your head over. In fact, it was so pleasantly bland that I hardly remember enough about the dishes to write in detail about them.
J&G is a beautiful restaurant, but I guess I prefer a little flavor in my brunches, and not just in the food. Give me a themed buffet or a few twists on my mimosa, and I'm a happy girl. If I had a grandparent that I needed to impress, I would bring them to J&G. But if it's me and my fellow bitches, I'd prefer to glide up the elevators to the buffet at POV on the roof.
Bitches say: B; Food is fine and dandy, and the restaurant space is beautiful, but it lacks any excitement

Posted Monday, August 13, 2012 --- 1:15 p.m.
From the G.A.B.:
MADISON, WI – The Government Accountability Board today released its list of the top 10 things Wisconsin voters should know for Primary Election Day, Tuesday, August 14.
The number one thing voters should know is that they can register at the polling place on Election Day.
"Election Day registration ensures that everyone who is qualified to vote will get to vote," said Kevin Kennedy, director and general counsel of the G.A.B. "Unlike many other states, Wisconsin has registration at the polls, so very few voters will likely be forced to vote on a provisional ballot."
To register on Election Day, Wisconsin voters must provide proof of residence, which includes a current utility bill, lease, university ID card or other official document showing the voter's name and current address. For a list of acceptable documents, visit the G.A.B. website. You must be a resident of your ward for 28 consecutive days to register, but the document does not need to be 28 days old. Voters who have a valid Wisconsin driver's license or state ID card will be required to use their license number to complete the registration form. Otherwise, they may use the last four digits of their Social Security number.
Voters who may not be sure whether their registration is current can check their status with their municipal clerk, or on the state's Voter Public Access website: https://vpa.wi.gov.
Number two on the list is that voters may only vote for candidates of one party in the primary.
Elections Division Administrator Nat Robinson said electronic voting equipment is programmed to reject a ballot with crossover votes. "If you make a mistake when voting, you may ask for a new paper ballot, up to a total of three, Robinson said. "In the case of touch-screen voting equipment, the voter will be able to review ballot choices before affirming the final vote."
Third on the list, voters should know what to do if they witness problems at the polling place.
"If you see voter fraud, voter intimidation, electioneering or misconduct by election officials, your first point of contact should be the Chief Election Inspector at the polling place," said Kennedy. "Most concerns can be resolved then and there, but if that doesn't work, contact your municipal clerk's office or local law enforcement."
Complaints or issues that are not resolved to the voter's satisfaction should be reported to the G.A.B. Voters can go online and report problems at http://gab.wi.gov/complaints, or they can call 1-866-VOTE-WIS.
The remainder of the Top 10 things a voter should know are:
4. Election observers must follow the rules: Election observers are welcome at every polling place, but they must obey the instructions of the chief election inspector, and may not interact with voters. Observers who disobey will be asked to leave, and may not observe at other polling places on Election Day. Rules for election observers are available at the polling place and on the G.A.B. website: http://gab.wi.gov/clerks/education-training/election-observers
5. Rules for challenging a voter: Only Wisconsin electors may challenge another voter's eligibility, and there are specific criteria and limitations on challenges. The chief election inspector can explain the challenge process and provide the voter and the challenger with explanatory documents. See http://gab.wi.gov/rights for details.
6. Leave political items at home: Voters are asked not to wear political clothing or paraphernalia to the polling place on Election Day. The chief election inspector may ask voters to leave the polling place if they are judged to be electioneering or creating a disturbance.
7. Get in line before the polls close: Voters standing in line waiting to vote when the polling place closes at 8 p.m. on Election Day will be permitted to vote.
8. Photo ID required? Due to a court injunction, a photo ID is not required of voters at the polling place on Election Day. However, if you have a driver license or state ID with a current address, you may use it to prove residency when registering on Election Day only if your current address is listed on your driver license or state ID, and you must provide the license or ID number.
9. Absentee ballots must be postmarked by Election Day: If you had an absentee ballot mailed to you, it must be postmarked by Election Day and must be received in your municipal clerk's office by 4 p.m. the Friday after the election.
10. Consider becoming a poll worker: Many Wisconsin cities, villages and towns need more civic-minded people to help out on Election Day. When you go to vote, take a look around see if it's something you'd like to do. Many places offer split shifts if you can't work the entire day. Contact your local municipal clerk's office for more information.

Amazon just took the lid off of a bunch of new, original series it's taking to pilot, and surprise—some of them actually look really good. All Things D has the rundown on all six, and details about how they'll be rolled out.
Here's the lineup, as told by ATD:
- Alpha House, about "four senators who live together in a rented house in Washington DC.". Written by Doonsebury creator Garry Trudeau, who also made the vastly underappreciated "Tanner '88″ for HBO.
- Browsers, "a musical comedy set in contemporary Manhattan that follows four young people as they start their first jobs at a news website", from former Daily Show head writer David Javerbaum.
- Dark Minions, an animated series "about two slackers just trying to make a paycheck working an intergalactic warship" from Big Bang Theory's co-stars Kevin Sussman and John Ross Bowie.
- The Onion Presents: The News, "set behind the scenes of The Onion News Network."
- Supanatural, an animated series about "two outspoken divas who are humanity's last line of defense against the supernatural"; one of the producers is Daily Show star Kristen Schaal.
- Those Who Can't, "about three juvenile, misfit teachers", written by three guys Amazon found via its open call for submissions.
That behind the scenes at ONN show looks especially fun. And a lot of you guys sure do like Big Bang Theory.
We've known that Amazon's getting into original content for a while, and details have leaked out about a few of these shows over the past month or so. And it's only natural progression, following Hulu and Netflix down the creator hole.
Still, the last detail of this, from Peter Kafka, is pretty interesting:
So: New shows! That you can vote on. Sounds pretty fun, you know, unless 4chan votes in a one-camera Kim Jong Un vehicle. [AllThingsD]

The Aurora theater shootings keep Colorado in the national spotlight as public broadcasting launches a week-long initiative on guns beginning Monday. Megan Verlee, a familiar voice from Colorado Public Radio, will be part of a major cross-platform effort by PBS on the issue of gun violence. Verlee reports on the various proposals for curbing gun violence currently championed by state lawmakers, families of victims and even gun owners, and the opposition they're encountering.
PBS "NewsHour" launches each evening's programming, locally at 6 p.m. on Rocky Mountain PBS, and the initial focus is Aurora. Among the Coloradans interviewed are Aurora Police Chief Daniel Oates; Dave Hoover, whose nephew was killed at the theater and who is now a lobbyist for new gun restrictions; Richard Taylor, who manages a shooting range less than a mile from the theater; Damien Garcia, a gun owner who has recently purchased new guns because he is worried about future restrictions, and Ron Blan, a former gang member who now works for the city of Aurora on a gang prevention task force.
A live stream will be available on Monday.
Beyond the "NewsHour," PBS will offer a series of "After Newtown" specials to "continue the public conversation on gun laws, mental illness and school security." The PBS series "Frontline," "NOVA" and "Washington Week with Gwen Ifill" are part of the intensive focus, with reports on what creates a killer, the science behind the teenage brain and the politics of gun control. On Friday, "Need to Know" tackles the traumatic results of a shooting on the victim's family, the killer, the killer's family and others.

Geek Girl Mysteries is a new series about a geeky woman (girl was good for titular alliteration, but Mia's most definitely an adult woman) who uses her dogged curiosity and fat IQ to solve murders. I modeled her after Felicia Day. She's a delight to me. Her local PD and homicide thinks she's kind of a pain, but what can I say? She gets the job done.
She loves all the coolest things from vintage clothing to cosplay and Ren Faires. Her family's a large slice of fruitcake. And her community is wealthy-weird. I hope you'll enjoy her stories, too.
About the book:
A Geek Girl's Guide to Murder, book 1 in The Geek Girl Mysteries
IT manager Mia Connors is up to her tortoiseshell glasses in technical drama when a glitch in the Horseshoe Falls email system disrupts security and sends errant messages to residents of the gated community. The snafu's timing couldn't be worse—Renaissance Faire season is in full swing and Mia's family's business relies on her presence.
Mia doesn't have time to hunt down a computer hacker. Her best friend has disappeared, and she finds another of her friends murdered—in her office. When the hunky new head of Horseshoe Falls security identifies Mia as the prime suspect, her anxiety level registers on the Richter scale.
Eager to clear her name, Mia moves into action to locate her missing buddy and find out who killed their friend. But her quick tongue gets her into trouble with more than the new head of security. When Mia begins receiving threats, the killer makes it clear that he's closer than she'd ever imagined.
NEWS: A Geek Girl's Guide to Murder is at Alloy Entertainment right now!! Alloy is part of Warner Brothers and they requested an early copy in April, for television series consideration. I've got my fingers crossed & you can read it first here:
***Click HERE to Request an advanced read from Net Galley today! ***
How about an excerpt?
I dashed my coffee with cinnamon and grabbed a little wooden stir paddle. Bernie's blog was right. There was trouble at the clubhouse. I pressed the cup to my lips and inhaled tendrils of bitter steam. My eyes slid shut while I counted to ten and organized my thoughts. What exactly were residents receiving in email? Whatever it was, it hadn't come from me and I doubted it came from the clubhouse system. Could they be lying? How many complaints were there?
A long shadow overtook me.
My lids popped open, and I jumped to attention, stuffing swollen feet back into their luxurious torture devices.
The shadow had a stiff-looking man in his midthirties at the end of it. "Mia Connors?" His voice was deep with a hint of Southern charm.
Hmm. White dress shirt. Shiny shoes. "Are you a cop or a salesman?" I squinted through foggy glasses and set my coffee aside. "I met with our software rep last week, and we're all up-to-date on licensing, so I guess cop." Cops wore uniforms and carried twenty extra pounds but, for some inexplicable reason, most men liked being mistaken for one. He was definitely new to Horseshoe Falls. Resident? Guest?
He frowned. "I look like a cop?"
I wasn't expecting the frown. I gave him another long look. The light bulb flickered on in my scrambled brain. "Oh." I dug into my handbag, searching for my business cards. "Are you looking for some technical assistance?" I stage-winked. Detailed internet research was my specialty. If the information existed, I could find, compile and deliver it with great discretion. For a reasonable fee.
"Technical assistance?"
"Sure. Online. I can clean up anything you need or get details on anything you want."
He tented his brows.
I backpedaled. "Research is a passion of mine."
He shifted foot to foot and stretched a hand in my direction. "Before you say anything else and this conversation takes a whole new turn, I need to introduce myself. I'm Jake Archer. I'm the new Horseshoe Falls Head of Security."
"You're not wearing a uniform." I gave him another once-over. "Why are you in a suit?"
"It's my first day. I'd hoped to make an impression. Disappointed?"
Disgusted with my lack of insight. Of course he was the new guy. Bernie described him on her blog. Handsome. Sullen. "I thought you'd be more brooding."
He slouched forward and looked at me with narrow eyes. Like I wasn't making any sense. Which I wasn't.
I pinched my lips between my teeth. "I mean, someone said you were brooding. Not me." I flailed mentally. "Not brooding." Swarms of staffers rushed past us. The meeting was over.
A nervous laugh bubbled up, and I tamped it down. "I meant serious. You're very serious. Probably in cop mode. Security mode? I'm sure you're not at all brooding. I've got to go." Ugh. I turned away, stuffing napkins and sugar packets into my bag for later. I'd finish mixing my coffee behind the safety of my office door.
He followed me down the narrow hall toward the line of employee offices, easily matching his pace to mine. "Anything you want to tell me?"
"I sometimes help people erase things they don't want online. I also help them with research. I thought you were approaching me for my help."
"Anything else?"
"Why'd you assume I was a cop?"
"Or a salesman." I slowed my pace, relieved to reach my office door. "It was just a guess. You know, like when you go to a restaurant or a party and someone catches your attention, so you make up what you think they're saying, what they do for a living and why they're there. Then you get closer to see if you're right."
Jake blinked. "No."
Of course not. Normal people didn't do that kind of thing. Socially awkward girls with insane imaginations did. "Well, anyway. This is my office." I turned my back to the door, hoping he wouldn't follow me inside. "I've got work to do if I want to get the system's problems worked out before we're all fired, and I'm having a rough day anyway so…"
He didn't make a move to leave.
My heart stammered. Why was he grilling me like this? I couldn't take confrontation. I babbled. I behaved stupidly. I filled quiet moments with my personal brand of crazy.
Two seconds later, I caved. "First, some jack—someone took my parking space, and now I have to fix whatever has happened to the email system or lose my job." I exhaled deeply. "You should go."
His scrutinizing blue eyes pierced me to the door. "Why do I make you nervous?"
I tugged at the neckline of my dress to circulate the suffocating air and chomped on the inside of both cheeks. You're too close. Asking a whole heck of a lot of questions and way too close. My fingers curled at my side. I shut my eyes and cried out to the Universe, Help!
"Nothing else you want to tell me?"
I rolled the back of my head against the office door. "Uh-uh."

Liberty News
Students notified of changes to campus construction plan
Liberty University President Jerry Falwell announced at Wednesday's Convocation that demolition of the school's current fine arts hall, Teacher Education hall, and science hall (all located behind Arthur S. DeMoss Learning Center) would be taking place sooner than expected to allow the major campus reconstruction to continue. Demolition could begin as soon as May 2014 and will take up to 30 days.
Falwell said the space is needed for the construction companies' equipment and storage as they continue work on the new Science Hall and prepare to build the Center for Music and the Worship Arts, as well as the Campus Center addition to DeMoss Hall.
The one-story buildings (traditionally referred to as the "slab") were built in the 1970s and '80s. They were meant to be temporary structures but have long outlived their purpose.
Departments currently using the buildings will be moved temporarily this summer to some of the Circle residence halls that will be vacated this year when the first high-rise dormitory is occupied. Those dorms had been scheduled for demolition to allow for construction on the next high-rise dorm. Classes will commence in the new locations at the start of the Fall 2014 semester and could be held there for up to two years.
"We decided to build the next high-rise dorm on the site where dorms 14, 15 and 16 are now located. This will allow dorms 6, 7, 8, 13 and other dormitories to serve as temporary academic buildings. They will provide the same amount of space that we are losing in the demolition this summer," Falwell said. "We appreciate the patience and understanding of our current students. While these changes create some inconvenience in the short term, they allow us to complete the new academic buildings much sooner."
Liberty is in the midst of a $500 million campus reconstruction that calls for several new academic buildings, including the newly completed Jerry Falwell Library and the Center for Medical and Health Sciences scheduled for completion this summer. Other projects currently under construction include the school's first high-rise residence hall, an expansion to the LaHaye Student Union for workout and recreation areas, a parking deck, and a vehicular tunnel creating a main entrance to campus.

It has been amazing how many descendants of the people I have posted about have contacted me. Most are cousins of mine, while some are only related through marriage. Through these contacts I have received new and interesting information on the people in my family tree and, sometimes, even photos. I have often ended a post wishing for more information on my subject and, amazingly, I have often received it.
For those of you who have been wanting to start a family history blog to chronicle and share your genealogy research - JUST DO IT! It is well worth the time and effort. I love having a place where I can record all I know about a specific ancestor and use it as a reference later to either remind myself of easily forgotten details or to send to someone who is inquiring about a particular ancestral line for their research or DNA matching purposes. There is a certain satisfaction to weaving the hard-won facts, family stories and almost forgotten tidbits, personal theories and, best of all, photos into a "living" online profile of a long-gone family member that will be (God and Google willing) a permanent record of their lives. It is so much more meaningful than names and dates in a software program and isn't that what we all strive for in our family history research?
I have to say that my favorite part of writing "My Tangled Vine" this year is the connection that it encourages with my living family. It has brought long-lost cousins (and photos!) out of the woodwork, encouraged communication with closer family and even helped to inspire some to write their own stories. What could be even better than that? As a side effect of my blogging, my six year old son knows who his maternal eight great great grandparents are and is fascinated by them! He knows what they looked like, he can show you on the map where they were born and he refers to their names as if he knows them. Not only their DNA, but their memory, lives on through him.

Fishing reels of brass or nickel were made in the United States by 1810. Bamboo fly rods were sold by 1860, often marked with the maker's name. Lures made of metal, or metal and wood, were made in the nineteenth century. Plastic lures were made by the 1930s. All fishing material is collected today and even equipment of the past thirty years is of interest if in good condition with original box. This includes lures, minnow buckets, reels, rods, and tackle boxes.

ALFRED, NY – The Alfred University football team dominated both sides of the ball in Saturday's season-opening 48-17 victory over visiting RPI on Merrill Field.
AU was never threatened, scoring on its first six possessions. The Saxons tallied the game's first 20 points, led 34-10 at the half, and didn't punt the ball until late in the fourth quarter. The AU offense, which lost seven starters from last season's Empire 8 Conference championship team, piled up 561 yards, while a veteran AU defense, which returned all but on starter, held RPI to 227 yards of offense, including only 51 on the ground.
AU senior quarterback Tom Secky completed 17 of 25 passes for 328 yards and three touchdowns. Sophomore wide receiver Josh Phillips caught seven passes for 201 yards and a pair of touchdowns, including a 70-yarder on the first play of the second quarter, which gave AU a 20-0 advantage. Sophomore tailback Austin Dwyer ran for 107 yards and three TDs on 17 carries.
AU took the opening kickoff and drove 80 yards on six plays, with Phillips scoring on a 53-yard bomb from Secky 3:20 into the game. Dwyer's nine-yard run with 5:31 left in the opening frame gave AU a 13-0 lead and the Saxons pushed their lead to 20 on Phillips' long catch-and-run three seconds into the second period.
A 33-yard field goal by Andrew Franks got RPI on the board with 11:42 left in the half. Alfred senior linebacker Nick Clark scored on a one-yard run with just under six minutes left in the half to make it 27-3, Alfred. Clark, the Saxons' short-yardage specialist, finished with 46 yards on eight carries; each of his rushing attempts produced either a score or a first down.
RPI made it 27-10 on a 10-yard run by quarterback Mike Hermann with 2:48 left in the half, but AU answered with 45 seconds left on Secky's three-yard pass to junior nose tackle Mike Raplee (Dundee, NY/Dundee).
The teams traded touchdowns in the third quarter. Dwyer scored on a 17-yard run midway through the period to cap a 10-play 80-yard drive, then Austin Caswell caught a six yard TD pass from Hermann with 21 seconds left in the frame to make it 41-17. Dwyer's third scoring run of the game, from nine yards with 13:20 left in the fourth, closed out the game's scoring.
The AU offense was sharp and balanced, producing 337 yards passing and 224 on the ground while converting 11 of 13 third-down chances and posting 27 first downs. Junior tailback Tyler DeRosa, a transfer from Western Connecticut State, ran or 60 yards on 10 carries and caught one pass for 43 yards in his first game in a Saxon uniform. Senior tight end Adam Schutz caught four passes for 47 yards.
Hermann was RPI's leading rusher, with 22 yards on nine carries. He completed 18 of 35 passes for 176 yards and a score. Wipeout Reggie Colas caught six passes or 58 yards and wide receiver Steven Burpoe caught a pair of passes for 41 yards.
The AU defense held RPI to 16 first downs and allowed the Engineers to convert only eight of 17 third downs. Clark had 10 tackles, including 1.5 for loss; senior linebacker Wes Smith had seven tackles (3.5 for loss); and Raplee had six tackles, including 1.5 for loss and a sack. Senior end Marcellus Jones had five tackles, including a sack, and senior cornerback Alec Currier had five tackles and three pass breakups.
Safety Zach Scruggs had a game-high 13 tackles and forced a fumble to lead the RPI defense. Cornerback Kevin Frame and linebacker Matthew Day each had eight tackles and tackle Ted Abriel had a pair of tackles for loss.
Alfred is in action next on Saturday, Sept. 17, at 1 p.m. at home against St. Lawrence.

Smidt Heart Institute
Thallium Scans
In this common type of scan, the radioactive isotope thallium is injected into your vein at rest and at the end of an exercise or pharmacologic stress test. Images are taken after each injection that show how the blood is flowing through your the arteries in your heart. If the arteries have blockages, there is not enough blood flowing through them during stress, resulting in an abnormality on the scan.
This test can also identify regions of damage or scarring of the heart muscle due to previous heart attack. scarring of the heart muscle due to blocked coronary arteries or a previous heart attack.
The S. Mark Taper Foundation Imaging Center has more information about thallium scans, including how to prepare and what to expect.

22.5 Inch Tyres North East
R22.5 Tyres North East
The tyre tread pattern is primarily there to improve handling on wet roads while not compromising too much on dry handling and braking ability.
Dry Conditions
The best tyres for gripping dry, flat roads are soft rubber slicks.
Except for odd occasions and racetracks, road surfaces are rarely dry, flat or smooth. This means that general road tyres need to be able to handle a variety of surfaces and hard wearing.
Tyre Compound
A harder rubber compound is used to make the tyre last longer and cope with more abrasive road surfaces. In order to grip the road and provide traction; the tyre surface needs a series of grooves or channels to allow water to move away from the tyre - road contact area and resist aquaplaning.
Tyre Width A wide tyre and narrow tyre will not disperse water in exactly the same way. Similarly, a tread pattern that disperses water when your car is travelling in a straight line may struggle to maintain grip when handling the lateral cornering forces.
Tyre manufacturers have invested millions of pounds in research to find the optimal tyre design for road performance and road noise reduction. This has lead to tyre designers moving away from the traditional block pattern tyres towards high performance tyres with circumferential grooves and tread bands. These modern tyre patterns are designed to offer different noise and handling characteristics across the tread of a tyre. Looking at these modern tyres the patterns are often asymmetric and directional.

Monday began with plenty of sunshine in South Florida, with temperatures in the upper 70s to start the Labor Day holiday.
Nasty weather picked up in Browad County, where a flood advisory was issued until 5 p.m. but was cancelled just before 4 p.m. Earlier, the National Weather Service had issued a tornado warning for Broward, but it was later discontinued.
Temperatures were expected to reach 90 Monday afternoon, with a 30 percent chance of afternoon showers and storms. A 30 percent chance of rain will stay in the forecast through Tuesday as well.
Rain chances will drop mid-week, then possibly increase by the weekend.
There are a couple of features in the tropics. One is southwest of Cuba and has a 20 percent of development in the next 3-5 days. It is expected to head west, away from South Florida.
The other feature is entering the Eastern Caribbean, and has a 50 percent chance of development during the next 3-5 days. It may pass east of the Bahamas, but it will be something to monitor during the next 3-5 days.

There will be no shortage of witches and Batmans roaming the streets on Halloween this year, but scandal-prone politicians and funny internet memes are sure to give trick-or-treaters inspiration for this year's costumes.
More than 5 million, or 10 percent of adults, plan on dressing up as a witch and 2.9 million will dress as Batman, according to the National Retail Federation. But while many are reaching for traditional getups, there are signs that revelers are getting more creative with their costumes.
"One exciting trend that has been growing exponentially over the past few years is Do-It-Yourself Costumes," according to Lorne Lucree, Ricky's Product Development Director. "This allows partiers to truly be whoever they want to be for Halloween."
This means Batmans and vampires will celebrate alongside iPhone's Siri, Harlem Shakers and Grumpy Cat. But if scary costumes or internet memes aren't your thing, there is always a new crop of musicians, celebrities and scandlous politicians to impersonate each year. Carlos Danger, anyone?
"Miley Cyrus' and Robin Thicke's performance at the MTV Video Music Awards is sure to inspire some costume ideas," Lucree said. "Amanda Bynes' many different appearances walking into a courtroom is also expected to be a big hit."
Some of Ricky's top costumes this year are the Dirty Cop, Cougar Cat and Pochahantas, Lucree said. For those in need of some help with their DIY costume, Ricky's concierge service promises to help customers create the perfect look.
Buzzfeed rounded up a list of DIY costumes with links and instruction on how to dress up like baby North West, the Ikea monkey and a shark from "Sharknado." Huffington Post put together a list that "screams 2013." Wendy Davis with her pink running shoes, Edward Snowden and the Royal Family all made the cut.
The NRF also noted that more partiers will look to Pinterest for costume ideas this year. A quick search of "DIY Halloween costumes" on the photo sharing site results in a range of costumes suitable for any budget.
In total, Americans will spend $2.6 billion on costumes with $1 billion on children's costumes, $1.2 billion on adult costumes and $330 million on costumes for pets, according to the NRF.
Princess, animal and Batman are the top three choices for kids, while pet owners say the top costumes for their furry friends are pumpkin and hot dog with the devil and cat tied at third.

All rings are assumed to be commutative and unital, with all homomorphisms unital as well.
On last week's homework, there was a mistake in one of the questions:
(2.5) Let $R\to S$ be a morphism of commutative rings giving $S$ an $R$-algebra structure. Suppose that the induced maps $R\to S_{\mathfrak{p}}$ are formally étale for all prime ideals $\mathfrak{p}\subset S$. Then $R\to S$ is formally étale.
According to our professor, the exercise should have stated additionally that $S$ was finitely presented over $R$ (which allows us to prove that $S$ is in fact étale over $R$ rather than just formally étale). This is not too hard to do and is left as an exercise. (You can also find it in EGA).
However, I'm interested in seeing either a counterexample or a proof for the stronger claim in the grey box.

The Changes of Our World
Antarctic Ozone Hole
In the early 1980s, scientists began to realize that CFCs were creating a thin spot—a hole—in the ozone layer over Antarctica every spring. This series of satellite images shows the ozone hole on the day of its maximum depth each year from 1979 through 2010.
Water Level in Lake Powell
Combined with human demands, a multi-year drought in the Upper Colorado River Basin caused a dramatic drop in the Colorado River's Lake Powell in the early part of the 2000s. The lake began to recover in the latter part of the decade, but as of 2012, it was still well below capacity.
Coastline Change
The shoreline of Cape Cod provides a visual case study in the evolution and dynamic motion of barrier islands and spits.
Antarctic Sea Ice
Because of differences in geography and climate, Antarctica sea ice extent is larger than the Arctic's in winter and smaller in summer. Since 1979, Antarctica's sea ice has increased slightly, but year-to-year fluctuations are large.
Arctic Sea Ice
NASA satellites have monitored Arctic sea ice since 1978. Starting in 2002, they observed a sharp decline in sea ice extent.
Amazon Deforestation
The state of Rondônia in western Brazil is one of the most deforested parts of the Amazon. This series shows deforestation on the frontier in the northwestern part of the state between 2000 and 2012.
Mountaintop Mining, West Virginia
Based on data from the Landsat satellites, these natural-color images document the growth of the Hobet mine in Boone County, West Virginia, as it expands from ridge to ridge between 1984 and 2013.
Shrinking Aral Sea
A massive irrigation project has devastated the Aral Sea over the past 50 years. These images show the decline of the Southern Aral Sea in the past decade, as well as the first steps of recovery in the Northern Aral Sea.
Recovery at Mt. St. Helens
The devastation of the May 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens and the gradual recovery of the surrounding landscape is documented in this series of satellite images from 1979—2013.
Fire in Etosha National Park
Prescribed fires should prevent blazes from raging out of control in one of Namibia's most prized wildlife preserves.
Green Seasons of Maine
Not many places on Earth have year-round greenery and four distinct seasons. The images in this series show the four seasons of Maine, the most forest-covered state in the U.S.A.
Columbia Glacier, Alaska
Since 1980, the volume of this glacier that spills into the Prince William Sound has shrunk by half. Climate change may have nudged the process along, but mechanical forces have played the largest role in the ice loss.
Drought Cycles in Australia
Droughts have taken a severe toll on croplands in Southeast Australia during the past decade.
Athabasca Oil Sands
The Athabasca Oil Sands are at once a source of oil, of economic growth, and of environmental concern. This series of images shows the growth of surface mines around the Athabasca River from 1984 to the present.
Burn Recovery in Yellowstone
In 1988, wildfires raced through Yellowstone National Park, consuming hundreds of thousands of acres. This series of Landsat images tracks the landscape's slow recovery through 2011.
Severe Storms
This collection features the strongest hurricane, cyclone, or typhoon (from any ocean) during each of the past 11 years, including storms both infamous and obscure.
Seasons of the Indus River
Fed by glaciers in the Himalayas and Karakorams mountains — and by monsoon rains — the Indus River experiences substantial fluctuations every year. Because the river irrigates 18 million hectares of farmland, the landscape changes along with the river.
Urbanization of Dubai
To expand the possibilities for beachfront tourist development, Dubai, part of the United Arab Emirates, undertook a massive engineering project to create hundreds of artificial islands along its Persian Gulf coastline.
Global Temperatures
The world is getting warmer, whatever the cause. According to an analysis by NASA scientists, the average global temperature has increased by about 0.8°Celsius (1.4° Fahrenheit) since 1880. Two-thirds of the warming has occurred since 1975.
Seasons of Lake Tahoe
Perhaps the most familiar change in our changing world is the annual swing of the seasons. This series of images shows the effects of the seasons on the Lake Tahoe region between 2009 and 2010.
Solar Activity
Images of sunspots and UV brightness document the 11-year cycle of solar magnetic activity. The series spans 1999–2010, capturing the most recent solar maximum and minimum, as well as the emergence of solar cycle 24.
Larsen-B Ice Shelf
In early 2002, scientists monitoring daily satellite images of the Antarctic Peninsula watched in amazement as almost the entire Larsen B Ice Shelf splintered and collapsed in just over one month. They had never witnessed such a large area disintegrate so rapidly.
Mesopotamia Marshes
In the years following the Second Gulf War, Iraqi residents began reclaiming the country's nearly decimated Mesopotamian marshes. This series of images documents the transformation of the fabled landscape between 2000 and 2010.
Yellow River Delta
Once free to wander up and down the coast of the North China Plain, the Yellow River Delta has been shaped by levees, canals, and jetties in recent decades.
El Niño, La Niña, and Rainfall
For many people, El Niño and La Niña mean floods or drought, but the events are actually a warming or cooling of the eastern Pacific Ocean that impacts rainfall. These sea surface temperature and rainfall anomaly images show the direct correlation between ocean temperatures and rainfall during El Niño and La Niña events.
