Arnold Bloch Leibler's Sydney office recently hosted former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard in her role as Chancellor of online education provider Ducere. Ms Gillard spoke to over 60 guests about her involvement with Ducere and its unique MBA course, which features lectures by leading business and political figures from around the world.
DLA Piper Leadership Alliance for Women (LAW) Inspiring women in business event
Arnold Bloch Leibler in Melbourne welcomed three speakers from the Red Cross to talk about the inspiring work they're doing in bridging the Indigenous disadvantage, including the organisation's own objectives in relation to recruitment. Kerry McGrath (Head of Community Programs), Nicole Jenkins (Manager, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Workforce Engagement) and Jimmy Kyle (Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Cultural Adviser & Engagement Officer) visited the ABL offices over lunch for National Close the Gap Day.
The Red Cross has made some impressive progress both in Indigenous communities around Australia and within the organisation itself – for example, they have recently increased the percentage of their own staff who identify as Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander from 2 per cent to 6.3 per cent, which exceed the Red Cross 2015 target of 6%.
Arnold Bloch Leibler was the first Australian law firm to launch a Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), supporting Reconciliation Australia's objective of reducing the 17-year life span gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, with the hope that other professional service firms will follow.
GlobalX Legal Solutions hosted hundreds of legal professionals at the 2015 Queensland Law Symposium networking evening, the "Symposium by Night". At the Symposium over 600 Queensland legal delegates heard from an abundance of leading legal professionals including the newly appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Tim Carmody and Attorney Genreal Yvette D'Ath MP.
Baker & McKenzie, the founding principal sponsors of Out for Australia hosted the launch at NSW Parliament House to celebrate Out for Australia becoming a national organisation. Out for Australia is an organisation that seeks to support and mentor LGBTI students and young professionals as they navigate their way through the early stages of their career. Until recently it was a Sydney based organisation and they are now expanding to all major universities across Australia.

An Arnold Bloch Leibler (ABL) team of 10 eager walkers (plus two crew) participated in the Weekend to End Women's Cancers 60km walk through the streets of Melbourne last weekend to raise funds for the Peter Mac Centre. This is the second year the firm has taken part in this important event.
ABL was one of the top 5 fundraising teams in Victoria, raising over $63,000. Commercial and tax partner Joey Borensztajn was the highest individual contributor for the entire event, raising over $40,000.
The team this year dedicated their walk to the memory of Karen Czech (the late wife of partner and head of ABL's native title practice, Peter Seidel) whose life was tragically cut short by cancer late last year. Peter walked the final 2km together with his two daughters, Klara and Lilka.

Armstrong and ex-fiance Sheryl Crow arrive at the 2004 Billboard Music Awards on December 8, 2004 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Lance Armstrong won seven Tour de France cycling titles in a career that made him a superstar. But he was dogged by allegations of doping, and last year he was stripped of his titles after a scathing report by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. Here are some of the key people in the Armstrong story:
Sheryl Crow
Singer Sheryl Crow, Armstrong's ex-fiancé, was with him during two Tours. She was interviewed by federal agents in late 2011 and allegedly provided information to aid in the doping investigation, the New York Daily News reported. According to people familiar with the matter, the Wall Street Journal reported, Crow knew many details about doping on the team and was helpful in the USADA investigation, but didn't give an affidavit to the organization.
In an interview with Katie Couric after Armstrong was stripped of his Tour de France titles, Crow said she still supported her ex-fiancé.
"I know how hard he worked to win those titles, and you know, it was hard to watch," Crow said. "I felt bad. I felt bad for him, I felt bad for his family and I kinda felt like the rest of America. He is a hero that we watched and looked up to and admire."

Emma O' Reilly, the former soigneur for the USPS cycling team, of which Lance Armstrong was once a member, at her home in Lymm, England, on Oct. 12, 2012.
Emma O'Reilly
Emma O'Reilly was the U.S. Postal cycling team's soigneur, responsible for massaging the cyclists, laundering clothes, booking hotel rooms and preparing food. O'Reilly, an Irish woman, has said she became a regular player in the team's doping program during the 1999 Tour de France, transporting doping materials across borders, disposing of drugs and syringes and distributing performance-enhancing substances to the team's riders, she told The New York Times. Ultimately, she would provide key evidence to the USADA's investigation into Armstrong's doping.
O'Reilly said she was contacted by journalist David Walsh to be a source for his book about Armstrong, "LA Confidential," in which she described an incident when she heard the team worrying about Armstrong's positive test for steroids during the Tour. She said, "They were in a panic, saying, 'What are we going to do? What are we going to do?'"
According to O'Reilly, the solution was to get one of their doctors to issue a pre-dated prescription for a steroid-based ointment to combat saddle sores. O'Reilly said that Armstrong told her: "Now, Emma, you know enough to bring me down."

Chief Executive Officer of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) Travis Tygart attends a symposium called "The Pharmaceutical Industry and the Fight against Doping : New Partnerships for Clean Sport" in Paris on Monday, Nov. 12, 2012.
Travis Tygart
Travis Tygart is the head of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, which accused Armstrong in June 2012 of doping, a charge that Armstrong said he was done contesting in August 2012.
"There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, 'Enough is enough.' For me, that time is now," Armstrong said in a statement sent to The Associated Press. He called the USADA investigation an "unconstitutional witch hunt."
His submission to the charges led the agency to strip Armstrong of his seven Tour de France titles. In an interview with CBC, Tygart said he was not surprised by Armstrong's confession.
"We heard the evidence, we heard the stories from athletes," Tygart said. "And it supported, without question, every allegation that … now has been shown to be true."
In an interview with the French newspaper L'Équipe, Tygart said that he had received three death threats since the beginning of the Armstrong investigation and that security had been tightened around him by the FBI. Tygart was also previously involved in the investigation of Floyd Landis, a cyclist who accused Armstrong of doping.

Federal agent Jeff Novitzky arrives for former San Francisco Giants baseball player Barry Bonds' criminal trial at Phillip Burton Federal Building in San Francisco on March 28, 2011.
Jeff Novitzky, an agent for the Food and Drug Administration, led a team of attorneys from 2010 to 2012 that investigated Armstrong for allegations of doping in his Tour de France wins. In May 2010, the New York Daily News reported that Armstrong's former teammate Floyd Landis was cooperating with the probe.
The investigation involved taking statements under oath from Armstrong and his former teammates and requesting blood samples from the French anti-doping agency. The probe was terminated in early February 2012 with no charges filed, the Associated Press reported.
In the past, Novitzky investigated alleged performance-enhancing drug use by other athletes, including Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Marion Jones.

Frankie Andreu of the U.S. Postal Service Team rides uphill during Stage 14, Draguignan to Briancon, France of the Tour de France on July 15, 2000.
Frankie Andreu was a captain of the U.S. Postal Service cycling team along with Lance Armstrong in 1998, 1999 and 2000. In 2006, Andreu and his wife, Betsy, who were close friends with the Armstrongs, testified in court that they heard Armstrong tell cancer doctors in 1996 that he had used EPO, growth hormones and steroids. Armstrong swore under oath that it didn't happen.
The Andreus' testimony was related to litigation between Armstrong and SCA Promotions, a Texas company attempting to withhold a $5 million bonus. Armstrong eventually won a settlement deal out of court in February 2006, and SCA paid him and Tailwind Sports $7.5 million to cover the bonus plus lawyers' fees.
He later told reporters that Betsy Andreu may have been confused by the possible mention of a post-operative treatment that included steroids and EPO, which can be taken to counteract the effects of chemotherapy.
In an interview with The New York Times in 2006, Andreu admitted that he had taken EPO to help prepare for the 1999 Tour de France.
In 2012, the Andreus participated in the USADA investigation into Armstrong's doping practices, testifying along with 24 other witnesses, including former teammates. In the USADA's 200-page decision, the hospital room incident was covered in great detail.

Cyclist Floyd Landis is seen during the arbitration hearing of the 2006 Tour de France champion at Pepperdine University in Malibu, Calif., on May 23, 2007.
Floyd Landis
Floyd Landis is a retired cyclist who was stripped of his own 2006 Tour de France title after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs. Landis admitted to doping in May 2010 and accused Armstrong of doping in 2002 and 2003. He also said in an interview with ABC's "Nightline" that he witnessed Armstrong receive multiple blood transfusions and dispense testosterone patches to his teammates on the U.S. Postal Service team.
His confession and accusations were detailed in a series of emails he sent to senior cycling and anti-doping officials in 2010, the Wall Street Journal reported. The U.S. Department of Justice launched an investigation into Landis' claims soon after, which eventually led to the USADA investigation of Armstrong and the 2012 decision to strip him of his Tour de France titles.
In 2010, Landis filed a suit against the U.S. Postal Service team, alleging it defrauded the federal government by taking sponsorship money from the U.S. Postal Service while riders were doping, the Wall Street Journal reported. All whistleblower lawsuits are kept under seal, and neither the DOJ nor Landis have acknowledged the suit's existence or allegations.

Oprah Winfrey

This module takes an historical view of criminal law, the police, the criminal courts and the prision system, examining the significant social, economic, and philosophical changes that have helped to shape the modern criminal justice and penal systems. It examines the functions of the criminal justice agencies, explores some of the predominant ideas and theories about how the system operates and raises critical questions about the ways in which criminal justice is done and punishment is delivered. In Part Two the aim is to provide students with a thorough familiarity of major ways of thinking about crime, with reference to some of the main theoretical perspectives within criminology. This module provides an introduction to a range of criminological thought. Theoretical perspectives have been developed in an attempt to explain why people commit crime, and the history of thought on this question will be examined.

- SXU-2002: Cont. Social and Political Deb (20) There will be no set curriculum - rather this will emerge each time the module is taught depending on staff and student interests. The approach adopted will be to devote the first workshop to identifying themes and issues to be addressed, and to draw up the curriculum for that academic session in collaboration between staff and students. The workshop style of teaching and learning will allow emerging issues and contemporary debates to be addressed. Possible topics to be covered: Should drugs be legalised? Social control and the media Thinking critically about criminology Should there be a sociology of the environment? Exploring disaster capitalism Girls will be girls and boys will be boys – debunking the myth of gender. Exploring the relationship between inequality and capitalism Radicalisation, immigration, identity and racism. The Arab Spring Riots and civil liberties Thinking beyond the norm – the rationalization of 'them' and 'us'
- SXS-2035: Classical Social Theory (20) The module introduces the classic contributions of Marx, Tocqueville, Tonnies, Weber, Durkheim and Simmel and the development of their thinking concerning modernity, capitalism, rationalisation and bureaucracy, and the question of moral and social order.

- SXY-2002: Crime & Justice in Mod Britain (20) (Semester 2) This module aims to build on the introduction to the criminal justice system in England and Wales provided in Year 1 through SXY1007. It will reinforce and advance students' understanding of various measures of crime, and how the main criminal justice agencies operate in particular circumstances and under the demands of increasing international concerns about certain types of crime. Thus, the role, responsibilities and levels of accountability of the main criminal justice agencies will be reviewed in the context of contemporary concerns about specific types of crimes and criminals, such as youth crime, terrorism and state crime, white collar, cyber and organised crime. The module will focus on advancing the discussion of the most dominant debates in criminal justice and penology. In doing so the module aims to advance students' understanding of criminal justice statistics as well as the value of comparative analysis of criminal justice practices and procedures. Indicative Course content: - Understanding crime and criminal justice by numbers – breaking the back of crime statistics - Controlling youth crime - Controlling 'clean' crime – cyber-crime, business crime and white collar crime - Controlling 'terror' – state crime, organised crime and terrorism Underpinning these different topics will be an engagement with concepts of social harm and how criminal justice agencies are adapting to control the different types of crimes and criminals, nationally as well as internationally.neu

- SXY-2004: Crime & the Media (20) (Semester 2) Media stories on crime and law are numerous. They form an object of inexhaustible interest to audiences. Many people learn about crime and law from the media, especially from newspapers, books and films. Media portrayals often contributed decisively to changes in public opinion and politics. Also, deviant behaviour can be influenced by media. Media construct deviance (e.g. by identifying `folk devils`), but media also offer cultural templates for people involved in deviant activities. The class deals with the cultural and political significance of media portrayals of crime and law. Students learn about economic, political, legal and other backgrounds. Major narratives employed by the media will be identified. The standard patterns of telling and other technical means of the media are analysed. The audience's reaction to media portrayals and its use of media also form a topic for the class.

It will aim to address the following aspects: 1. Defining poverty – how is poverty defined? What is social exclusion? How important is inequality? 2. Explaining poverty - how has the persistence of poverty been explained? This will look particularly at 'pathological' explanations involving a 'culture of poverty' or the existence of an 'underclass' 3. The risk of poverty – who is most at risk of being poor, and what are the possible consequences? 4. Experiencing poverty - what does it mean to be poor in the UK today? 5. Dimensions of poverty - what are the various dimensions of poverty, including income, wealth, health, education and housing. 6. International issues – can we 'make poverty history'? 7. Confronting poverty – what policies are most effective against poverty? Is poverty or inequality the real problem?

- HGH-2138: Europe 1945-1992 (20) (Semester 1)
- VPR-2301: 20th Century Phil of Religion (20) (Semester 2) The module begins by clarifying the state of the analytic philosophy of religion at the turn of the 20th century, reflecting upon its inheritance of 19th century 'modernity'. This is contrasted with some concurrent developments in the continental tradition (German Romanticism, Dostoevsky, Nietzsche). This is the context from which, and into which, Wittgenstein speaks. We will cover the early, middle, and late eras of Wittgenstein's thought, and show the revolutionary impact that his thought had for the philosophy of religion. We track the various directions in which Wittgenstein's influence was felt; for example, in A. J. Ayer's verificationism, or those overtly 'Wittgensteinian' philosophers of religion such as D. Z. Phillips. The 'meta-philosophy of religion' is introduced throughout, as we tackle the question of how best to philosophise about religion.

- SXS-3003: Theorizing Society & Politics (20) This module explores the origins, nature and significance of sociological theories and concepts developed in the 20th and 21st century. It examines the strengths and weaknesses of such approaches as critical theory (Adorno, Horkheimer, Marcuse et al) structuralism and neo-structuralism (Levi-Strauss, Foucault, Bourdieu), and feminist standpoint theory. It considers a range of theories which seek to address knowledge, power and subordination in terms of gender divisions and differences of class, race or sexuality. The module seeks to ask questions about the relationship between social theory, social action, sociological research and everyday life. This in turn encourages students to reflect on their own position as participants in social interaction.
- SXS-3030: Globalisation & Social Change (20) Topics include: • theories of social change • demographical changes to the modern societies • debating and explaining globalisation • migration • capitalism and globalisation • politics, the state and globalisation • power and inequality in the global economy • globalisation movements • global culture

Graham Steals Record, Game For Grizzlies
Speedster Sets Single-Season Steals Record In 4-3 Walk-Off
By Noah Frank / Fresno Grizzlies | July 9, 2011 10:12 PM
Graham reached base on a leadoff single after battling back from an 0-2 count. With pinch-hitter Ryan Lormand batting, Graham stole second to match Calvin Murray on the franchise list with his 42nd theft of the year. He then swiped third to set the new record, overtaking the previous high set in 1999. Lormand would strike out, but Christian lifted a ball deep enough to Cedric Hunter in center for Graham to beat the throw home on a belly-first slide, giving Fresno its third walk-off win in its last six games on this homestand.
Tucson (45-44) scored first, dropping in three softly-hit singles in the top of the second. The Padres did the same in the second inning, stringing together three consecutive two-out singles to score again and take a 2-0 lead.
Fresno (38-52) got the second run back in the bottom of the frame, thanks to some help from the Tucson defense, including Friday night's hero, Aaron Cunningham. After Christian opened the inning by reaching on an error on the third baseman Steve Tolleson, he stole second and was still there with one out as Edgar Gonzalez stepped up. The shortstop hit one to medium-deep right field that Cunningham ranged back on and positioned himself underneath on the back-peddle, but the ball clanked out of Cunningham's mitt, allowing Christian to score and Gonzalez to pull into second base.
The first seven Tucson hits were all singles until Hunter pulled a ball inside the bag at first for a double in the top of the fourth, motoring around to third as Christian could not come up with it cleanly in the Fresno bullpen. But Fresno All-Star starting pitcher Andrew Kown worked out of trouble again, getting two groundouts and a strikeout to escape unscathed.
The Grizzlies continued to trail 2-1 into the bottom of the sixth, when Brandon Belt led off by taking Tucson starter Jon Leceister the opposite way into the bleachers in left for a solo shot to tie the game. Fresno wasn't done there, though, as Brett Pill followed with a single, moved to third one out later on a single by Hector Sanchez and scored on Tyler Graham's force out on a chopper over the mound to put the Grizzlies in front, 3-2.
The lead was short-lived, though, as Waldis Joaquin surrendered a ringing solo blast to Matt Clark, the second batter he faced in the top of the seventh. Joaquin settled down from there, though, and Dan Otero (2-1) tossed a pair of scoreless innings to earn his second win in six days.
Fresno will look to salvage a split of the four-game set Sunday evening at 6:05pm as the Grizzlies send righty Felix Romero (0-3) against Tucson lefty Pedro Hernandez (2-0).
WP: Otero (2-1); LP: Scribner (1-3); S: None; HR: Belt (6), Clark (16)

Nathan Englander is with PBS Books to talk about his latest novel, Dinner at the Center of the Earth. Englander was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2013. He's also a Guggenheim fellow and was selected as one of "20 Writers for the 21st Century" by The New Yorker.
A prisoner in a secret cell. The guard who has watched over him a dozen years. An American waitress in Paris. A young Palestinian man in Berlin who strikes up an odd friendship with a wealthy Canadian businessman. And The General, Israel's most controversial leader, who lies dying in a hospital, the only man who knows of the prisoner's existence.
From these vastly different lives Nathan Englander has woven a powerful, intensely suspenseful portrait of a nation riven by insoluble conflict, even as the lives of its citizens become fatefully and inextricably entwined—a political thriller of the highest order that interrogates the anguished, violent division between Israelis and Palestinians, and dramatizes the immense moral ambiguities haunting both sides. Who is right, who is wrong—who is the guard, who is truly the prisoner?

Vermont Business Magazine
As Vermonters and visitors alike take to the roads to enjoy the fall colors, they�ll notice a new addition along the Route 100 drive between Waterbury and Stowe. It is the state-of-the-art, custom built 15,000 square foot big brilliant red barn with a shiny silver coffee silo, new home to Vermont Artisan Coffee & Tea, Company and its sister companies, Coffee Lab International and CLI�s School of Coffee. And they are open for business.
Founder Man� Alves, a renowned coffee taster, consultant, and coffee entrepreneur, has spent the last three years overseeing the design, construction, and every detail of the new facility.�When our old leased location on Route 2 in Waterbury was flooded by Tropical Storm Irene in 2011, I started looking for property to buy. I found this great location just 3 � miles past Ben & Jerry�s factory and decided to go for it,� Alves said.The new facility takes into consideration the synergies of the three coffee-centric businesses that Man� founded: a coffee-tasting laboratory and testing facility; an educational branch that teaches roasting classes, Q certification courses and barista classes; and Vermont Artisan Coffee & Tea, Co., a specialty coffee roastery and tea-packing company.Man� worked closely with Joseph Architects of Waterbury, and Connor Contracting, Inc, of Berlin and St Albans to design and build the facility. The majority of the building houses the coffee roastery with six different types of coffee roasters and 30-foot tall interior silos that hold green beans shipped from coffee plantations all over the world to be roasted to order on site. Other spaces within the facility include a wet and dry coffee lab for cupping and testing, a tea room, and a dedicated classroom certified by the SCA (Specialty Coffee Association.) Energy efficiencies were taken into account throughout and it even has a 20-car solar carport in the parking lot built by Suncommon of Waterbury.�Given the location of the new facility, I decided to add a caf� in to the mix. Even though I have lived in Vermont for the past 25 years, I am originally from Portugal and I wanted to create a sleek yet friendly European-style coffee bar,� Alves explained.�So far the reaction to our new place has been tremendous,� commented Holly Alves, Man�s wife and business manager. �The caf� is a totally new venture for us. Of course I was sweating it trying to run budgets and numbers and Man�s feeling was: �if you build it; they will come.� I guess he was right.� The new Vermont Artisan Coffee Bar is open seven days a week, Monday � Friday 7:00 a.m. � 5:30 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 8:00 a.m. � 5:30 p.m. The caf� serves made-to-order specialty coffee and tea drinks and locally produced fresh baked goods. A full array of whole bean coffees fresh from the roasters as well as hand-packed teas are also available for purchase.

6 Foods That Prevent Sickness
Scott Little
Vegetarian Chili
Cold season is upon us, bringing its runny noses, congested chests, achy bodies, and too-tired feelings with it. Your best defense? Try to prevent yourself from catching a cold by washing your hands frequently, getting enough rest, drinking lots of fluids, and staying active. But when you catch a cold, you need more immediate relief. That's where these snacks come in. Each of them is packed with cold-fighting vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that may help make your cold less severe. Read on for our six feel-better snack picks:
Vegetarian Chili
A spicy veggie chili made with onions, garlic, kidney beans, and tomato paste not only warms up a cold-afflicted body, it may also have medicinal properties! Onions and garlic have antiviral effects, beans have good-for-the-immune-system B vitamins, and the spices can actually help clear sinuses!
Recommended serving size: 1 cup canned vegetarian chili
Calories: 160
Andy Lyons
Fresh Clementines
Despite all the controversy surrounding vitamin C's effect on colds, recent research shows that while this powerhouse antioxidant can't prevent them, it can help cut down on the duration and severity of colds. Clementines are a great source of vitamin C — two fulfill 100 percent of your RDA. What's more, clementines are easy to pack and eat (no sticky fingers, since their skins peel off effortlessly).
Recommended serving size: 2 clementines
Calories: 138
Scott Little
Half a Roast Beef Sandwich
Another mineral that can help stop a cold: Zinc. It plays a big role in immune system functioning and has been shown to stop the growth of microorganisms in the body, including some bacteria and viruses (and a virus is what causes colds). Both roast beef and whole grain bread are great sources of zinc; put them together, and you've got a powerful cold-fighting snack.
Recommended serving size: 2 ounces lean roast beef on 1 slice whole wheat bread
Calories: about 210
Amy Kalyn Sims
Chicken Soup
Believe it or not, your grandmother was right: Chicken soup is the perfect snack when you've got a cold! Not only is the warm broth comforting and soothing (essential when you're feeling run down and uncomfortable), research at the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha showed that chicken soup helps control the production and spread of inflammation and congestion-causing neutrophils (white blood cells). A cup of this soup gives you the perfect "dose."
Recommended serving size: 1 cup
Calories: about 190
Tuna Salad
Packed with glutamine, an amino acid that helps step up your immune system's efficiency, tuna is a great pick when you're sick. Research at the University of Oxford showed that athletes who ingested glutamine after workouts were less likely to get an upper respiratory infection than those who didn't; for regular folk, glutamine could have the same beneficial effects. Mix your tuna with a tablespoon of low-fat mayonnaise and serve it on 6 whole-grain crackers for a healthy mini-meal.
Recommended serving size: 1 6-ounce can of tuna packed in water with 1 tablespoon low-fat mayonnaise and 6 whole-grain crackers
Calories: 290
Scott Little
Ginger Tea with Gingersnaps
Ginger helps relieve congestion and has a soothing, spicy taste. To make a throat-calming, congestion-busting tea, steep chopped raw ginger in boiling water for about 10 minutes. Make your teatime a little sweeter by adding a teaspoon of honey to the brew and two crunchy gingersnap cookies on the side.
Recommended serving size: 1 cup of tea with 1 teaspoon honey and 2 gingersnaps
Calories: about 85

MCMOA – March 26-28, 2010
by: Don "Cheese" Akerlow
The MCMOA 8 Ball Championships started Friday night with just under 350 pool players from across Montana and by 10 pm Sunday night four champions were crowned. There were changes that were made to this years tournament, the location and sponsors as well as how the tournament was viewed. Billings, Montana was the host city, the Holiday Inn Grand Montana the location, Crown Royal and Bud Light the sponsors and OTBnTV Live streamed the tournament. There were 40 pool tables that were in one room, seating was the only problem which has already been addressed for next year's championship.
The players meeting on Friday started just before 7 pm, explained the rules and play began along with the LIVE Streaming from www.OTBnTV.com and photos at http://www.pbase.com/otbntv/mcmoa2010. Play ended around 10:30 pm and the players had to come back Saturday at 9 am. There were no upsets to speak of on Friday but Saturday would prove to be another story. There was a sense in the air that something different was going to happen for this tournament and it did.
SATURDAY the 27th saw more than its share of upsets. Everything went normally during the morning hours and early afternoon, then it began to happen. Past champions dropping matches, first to the one loss side, then out of the tournament all together. The LIVE Streaming started at 11 am and broadcast its share of great matches.
About mid afternoon Jeff Boucher, a four time champion was playing on the TV Table but he was on the one loss side. Last year's champion, Nick Douma, was not at the tournament due to previous commitments and had beaten Boucher in the finals last year. Jeff won his match easily on the TV Table and then within 1 or 2 matches later was promptly put out without winning a game. Jeff considered by many to be the best player in the state. He is definitely the most consistent. The buzz was all over the tournament floor. The gentleman who beat Jeff was promptly put out in the very next match. Other champions were also put out like Terry Bummer, Jason Tigart, and seven time champion Jerry Kohm.
SUNDAY the 28th saw the first final was the Women's A Division. This division had three past champions, Sky Tigart who has won three championships and been in five finals of the Women's A Division tied for 7th place. Four time champion and three time runner up, Linda Asleson was on the hot seat. Janet Dunks with one title and four final appearances in Women's A had to beat Linda twice.
The final went back and forth with Linda coming out on top for her 5th championship and a tie for the most wins EVER with Gail Lave.
This match can be viewed along with all the final matches on www.OTBnTV.com
In the finals of the Men's B Division was David Willis and Dave Garcia. Willis jumped out to a 3-0 lead and Garcia came back with 3 of his own. But David Willis was too strong in this match and came out the victor. You can also watch this match.
The feature match on the TV Table was the Men's A Division. Two players from Helena, Montana, Dan Hamper and George Price. Hamper beat Price for the point and had to be beat twice if his third title was to escape. Dan had been in four finals previously. With the first game going to Hamper, Price wins the second. Then the two players decided to play a safety game or two. Dan plays a fast game once he decides his pattern and rarely gets out of shape. George is methodical and with his smooth stroke is the reason he is in the finals. Dan's 13 year old daughter was watching online LIVE and would show her emotions in the chat room when her Dad won or lost. Dan showed his cue artistry by picking off balls and running tables once he got a shot, that brought the pride from his daughter when he won. You can also view this match.
The Women's B was the last finals on the TV Table. Dina Winter from Billings on the point and Michelle Garcia of Butte. The first game went to Michelle as did the second, third and fourth in a race to 5. It seemed like a second set was in order. But Dina had another outcome in mind so she won her first game. Both women making some amazing shots and runs but also missing. Dina wins her second game – score now 4-2, then 4-3, then 4-4, all knotted up. Dina makes an incredible cut on the ball before the 8. This could be the greatest comeback of any Women's B Championship if Dina could make the 8. But she misses it, leaves the 8 ball by the first diamond but a little bit off the rail. Michelle shooting a slight cut from the headstring to send it to a double elimination, but hits it fat and misses the 8, leaving Dina a straight in shot for the championship and the win. You can watch that on www.OTBnTV.com

Harvard 9, Princeton 8
The Crimson will play in the Ivy League Tournament for the first time since 2011 (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The No. 20 Harvard men's lacrosse team secured a spot in the Ivy League Tournament with a 9-8 win over No. 14 Princeton Saturday afternoon at Harvard Stadium.
The win also keeps the Crimson tied atop the Ancient Eight standings with Cornell, with a victory next weekend at Yale giving Harvard at least a share of the Ivy League title and the right to host the conference tournament.
Harvard used a 7-0 run in the first and second quarters to pull away for a 7-1 lead before Princeton came back with a 7-2 stretch of its own. The Crimson defense stood tall in the closing moments, however, with Jake Gambitsky making a save on a Jake Froccaro attempt with 1:18 remaining to all but seal the victory.
Gambitsky came away with 10 saves on the day, including five in the first quarter of play. He was aided at the defensive end by Brian Fischer, who held Princeton All-American Tom Schreiber scoreless for just the second time in his career. Devin Dwyer and Carl Zimmerman each scored a pair of goals to pace the attack, with Peter Schwartz totaling three points (1g, 2a). Austin Williams, meanwhile, was 13-of-19 at the X and collected eight ground balls.
Harvard Highlights:
- Peter Schwartz led the Harvard attack with one goal and two assists.
- Devin Dwyer and Carl Zimmerman each scored two goals.
- Stephen Jahelka, Sean Mahon, Brendan Newman and Will Walker each also totaled one goal.
- Jake Gambitsky made 10 saves in goal and collected three ground balls.
- Austin Williams went 13-of-19 at the faceoff X and scooped up eight ground balls.
- Harvard won the ground ball battle, 32-18, and was 14-of-15 on clears.
Game Notes:
- Harvard has secured a spot in the Ivy League Tournament with the win, marking the team's second appearance in the tournament. The Crimson's only other appearance came in 2011 when it lost to Cornell in the finals.
- With a win next Saturday at Yale, Harvard will clinch at least a share of the Ivy League title and the right to host the Ivy League Tournament. Harvard's last Ivy League title came in 1990.
- Harvard closed out the home portion of its regular season with a perfect 6-0 record, marking the first time the team has gone undefeated at home since 1990 (5-0).
- Harvard's four Ivy League wins are the most since 1998 (5-1).
- Devin Dwyer extended his point scoring streak to 15 games with two goals. Dwyer has turned in 53 points (15g, 38a) during this stretch, but was held to fewer than three points in a game for just the first time this season.
- Peter Schwartz has scored at least one point in each of the Crimson's last 14 games, totaling 42 points (23g, 19a) in that time. Schwartz leads the team with 39 points and has set career-highs in both goals (20) and assists (19).
- Carl Zimmerman scored two goals for the second straight game and fifth time overall on the year.
- Jake Gambitsky recorded double-digit saves for the eighth time in 13 games. Gambitsky has allowed less than 10 goals nine times this season, including each of the last four outings.
- Austin Williams matched his career-high with 13 wins at the faceoff X and collected a personal best eight ground balls.
- Brian Fischer held three-time All-American Tom Schreiber scoreless for just the second time in his career. Fischer was also responsible for marking Cornell All-American Connor Buczek in the team's win over the Big Red, and held the junior to zero points for the first time this year.
Game Progression:
- Princeton got on the scoreboard first, taking a 1-0 lead 52 seconds into the game.
- Harvard responded with a 7-0 run and went into the intermission on top, 7-2. Princeton was held scoreless for 26:16 during the stretch.
- Princeton outscored Harvard 3-1 in the third quarter to pull within three, 8-5.
- Princeton also won the fourth quarter, 3-1, but could not complete the comeback.
Ties: One
Lead Changes: One
Largest Leads: Harvard by six – 2nd: 9:06, Princeton by one – 1st: 14:08
Up Next:
Harvard will close out its regular season Saturday, April 26 with a trip to No. 11 Yale. The game is slated for a 1:30 p.m. start and will be televised live on FOX College Sports Central (DirecTV 608).

The family of a 13-year-old Oakland girl declared brain dead after a tonsillectomy led a prayerful march on Monday to the courthouse, where a judge selected an independent doctor to determine whether Jahi McMath shows any signs of life.
As crowds wearing the eighth grader's favorite color purple chanted "Keep Jahi Alive" in front of Children's Hospital, Dr. Paul Graham Fisher, chief of pediatric neurology at Stanford School of Medicine, was appointed to determine whether the girl is legally dead.
Fisher is expected to present his findings to Alameda County Superior Court Judge Evelio Grillo on Tuesday, and the judge will determine what happens next.
U.S. & World
Monday, McMath's family attorney was able to buy more time for Jahi. He was able to get a court-ordered stay, which means Jahi will remain on a ventilator until at least Dec. 30.
The family, who sat together, hands clutching together in court, also wants a third evaluation by Paul Byrne, a pediatric professor at the University of Toledo, a matter that was also taken up by a separate court in Oakland on Monday.
Byrne was the past president of the Catholic Medical Association. And he presented testimony on "life issues" to nine state legislatures and opposed Dr. Jack Kevorkian on the television program "Cross Fire," according to the website, RenewAmerica.com.
In a phone interview, Byrne told NBC Bay Area that he was not comfortable speaking about the matter because he hasn't been formally contacted by Jahi's family or their attorney.
Two doctors and three EEGs performed at Children's Hospital have already declared the 8th grader legally dead. (PDF)
"There is absolutely no medical possibility that Ms. McMath's condition is reversible or that she will someday recover from death," Dr. Scott Heidersbach, one of the girl's doctors, wrote in court papers released Friday.
Jahi's family, with the help of attorney Chris Dolan, obtained a temporary restraining order Friday to prevent doctors at Children's Hospital Oakland from removing the girl from a ventilator.
After the Stanford doctor was chosen, Dolan told reporters outside that the family was "grateful" for the additional testing. "No doctor's determination" should end a life, he said, "without parental consent."
Jahi's extended family has been organizing marches and vigils to pray for a miracle to occur. All this because Jahi was declared brain dead on Dec. 12 - three days after she had a tonsillectomy that went bad. After the Dec. 9, surgery, Jahi began bleeding profusely and suffered a heart attack, fell comatose, and never woke up.
Jahi's uncle, Omari Sealey, organized a Monday march on Facebook asking supporters to show up to the hospital wearing purple – Jahi's favorite color – and march to the courthouse where the latest legal developments unfolded. At least 100 people showed up, carrying signs and shouting slogans all with the same message: "Keep Jahi Alive."
And on Monday, Jahi's mother, Latasha "Naila" Winkfield, dressed in a black T-shirt with her daughter's picture on the back, seemed agitated and confused. She said her daughter's ventilator had been turned down from "15," where it has been since Dec. 12, to "13." She didn't know what that meant and couldn't get any answers. After her hospital visit, she went to court.
Children's Hospital spokeswoman Cynthia Chiarappa told NBC Bay Area the hospital can't comment on the clinical specifics of Jahi's case. But she did repeat what was said in court on Monday: The ventilator adjustment was part of the normal maintenance of Jahi's care, and that the chief of critical care has "absolutely been keeping the family fully informed every step of the way."
MORE: Battle to Keep Oakland's Jahi McMath on Life Support Goes to Court
In its court memorandum, the hospital said it has no duty to maintain life support because Jahi's condition is irreversible. On Monday, Dr. David Durand, the chief of pediatrics, spoke publicly for the first time, but essentially reiterated what he has said in past statements. He called Fisher a "known expert on brain death" who has performed many such examinations.
And he added: "We have the deepest sympathy for Jahi's mother who wishes her daughter was alive. But the ventilator cannot reverse the brain death that has occurred and it would be wrong to give false hope that Jahi will ever come back to life."
Jahi's family are devout Christians, however, who believe that because the girl's heart is beating – even if she is on a ventilator – she is alive. They say they are still waiting for a miracle.
How the complications arose has not yet been explained by Children's Hospital, which argued in court papers on Friday that the tonsillectomy was not exactly routine, but a combination of three procedures: an adenotonsillectomy; a uvulopalatopharyngloplasty, or UPPP, which is tissue removal in the throat; and submucous resection of bilateral inferior turbinates, which is nasal obstruction.
"It was much more complicated than a tonsillectomy," Durand said.
The hospital added that the state Department of Public Health and Children's Hospital are investigating the case, and that the "hospital is committed to learning what led to this catastrophic outcome."
NBC Bay Area's Chase Cain and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

BPE (B-Phycoerythrin), a fluorescent protein, belongs to the phycobiliproteins family, a family of highly soluble and fluorescent proteins derived from cyanobacteria and eukaryotic algae. BPE is made of α, β and γ subunits and is present as (αβ)6γ. It has absorption bands with peaks at 545 nm (εM 2.41 X 106 M-1cm-1), and 563 (εM 2.33 X 106 M-1cm-1) and has maximal emission at 578 nm. BPE and the closely related RPE are the most intensely fluorescent phycobiliproteins and it is 10-20 times brighter than conventional organic fluorophores. Additionally, phycobiliproteins are more photostable than their organic counterparts. BPE labeled streptavidin is widely used in flow cytometry, live cell staining, and multi-color immunofluorescent staining.

BALTIMORE – After a successful weekend of competition in Maryland, the UMBC track and field team will head north to compete at the NYU Challenge on Friday at the New Balance Track & Field Center in New York City.
This will be the second straight weekend that the Retrievers are splitting up after the majority of the men's team competed at the Navy Invitational in Annapolis, and the remainder of the squad traveled to the Landover for the Terrapin Invitational. The move proved beneficial as another school record fell, as did personal-bests.
Junior multi's athlete Alisha Beeman (Bridgeport, Conn./Bunnell/Hartford) snapped the school record in the high jump by clearing a career-best height of 1.71m (5'0.75) at the Terrapin Invitational. Beeman has now qualified for the ECAC Championships to be held in Boston in March and currently ranks second in the America East, trailing Binghamton's Tori Shaffer who cleared 1.73m (5'8") back in December. In New York, Beeman will compete in the long jump, in addition to the high jump.
Also in Landover last weekend, junior Mercedes Jackson (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) won the 60m dash with a time of 7.57. Her time would rank as the top in the conference heading into the weekend if not for her season-best of 7.48 which she posted at the Penn State Relays. Jackson also ranks second in the America East for the 200m dash with her time of 24.78 at the same meet. Sophomore D'Nique Phillip also sits in the top-ten for the short sprint, tied for eighth with her top time of 7.86 at the Bison Opener. Both will run in the 60m dash in the Big Apple.
Junior thrower Nneoma Edokobi (Rockville, Md./Richard Montgomery) posted a career-best heave of 15.26m (50'0.75") in Landover to jump to second in the conference. She also currently holds the third-best shot put in the league this season (12.91m; 42'4.25") while junior Emma Mayne (Mt. Airy, Md./Linganore) ranks fifth in the event (12.47m; 40'11.00").
The distance crew has impressed so far for the UMBC men with seniors Andrew Smith (Chadds Ford, Pa./Garnet Valley) and Jake Albino (Hampton, N.Y. Minisink Valley) holding down the first and second spots in the 1,000m run after this past weekend. At Navy, both seniors recorded career-best times with Smith missing out on the UMBC school record by .02 (2:25.60) and Albino just behind 2:26.27. Smith will compete in the 800m in New York while Albino will race in the one-mile.
In the longer runs, sophomore Hassan Omar (Frederick, Md./Thomas Johnson), an All-Conference honoree during the cross country season, sits eighth in the 3,000m (8:30.71), while junior Noah Hutton (Bel Air, Md./North Harford/Philadelphia U.) and senior Tom Eldridge (Rocky River, Ohio/Rocky River) sit sixth (15:13.98) and seventh (15:17.68), respectively, in the 5,000m event. Eldridge, along with freshman Jon Luckin (Parkton, Md./Hereford) will represent UMBC in the 3,000m on Friday.
Sophomore Randolph Patrice (Baltimore, Md.) got off to a flying start for the Retrievers, qualifying for the IC4A Championships in the 60m at the season-opening meet at Bucknell in December with a time of 6.98, which ranks fourth in the league.
Despite only competing at the Bison Opener, junior Thor Serafenas (Olney, Md./Good Counsel/Clemson) holds a top-ten spot in the shot put (14.73m; 48'4") and the weight throw (15.47m; 50'9.25").

Peaches Geldof Gossip
Peaches Geldof gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Peaches's Boyfriend: I want his everything
I have a thing for Peaches Geldof. I know this will amount to nothing, and that no matter how hard she tries to make herself happen, she probably won't happen, but that doesn't change the fact that though no one else cares about her, I do. Peaches is all skinny and sickly blonde now and she may be engaged to her boyfriend Thomas Cohen, a musician, of course, who is reportedly sick in love with her and very, very jealous and possessive, and they apparently can't stand to be apart. Full Story
Do you know what you're wearing...
You stupid f-ck? I'm normally a Peaches apologist. Maybe because I have a friend who looks like her. Maybe it's the anglophile in me. Definitely it's all the drama. But there's drama and then there's ignorance. And this bitch right here is a f-cking dumbass. Do you know what you're wearing? Her boyfriend obviously never saw what she was wearing. Full Story
So they're not barbies…
Is this a bad thing? The new cover of Tatler features not generic looking genetic freak models, or photoshopped starlets, but 3 wickedly tarty daughters of rock royalty: Kimberly Stewart, Leah Wood, and Peaches Geldof. Love it. Not because of the democratisation of beauty that it represents… f*ck no, who cares? But because English celebutantes are infinitely more interesting than American ones. Full Story

Engineering futures are always bright
Seven of the top 10 highest-paid college degrees are in engineering, this according to a 2013 data report from the National Association of Colleges and Employers.
Topping the list of highest-paid engineering degrees is petroleum engineering, with an average starting salary of $93,500.
Other top engineering degrees include computer engineering, chemical engineering and aerospace engineering, which offer starting salaries ranging from $64,400 to $71,700.
Engineers are rewarded with high salaries because of the great demand for qualified, skilled professionals in these fields.
Engineering jobs, as a whole, are expected to climb 11 percent through 2018, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, meaning the career prospects for engineers look bright.
"We're seeing the largest, most diverse demand for engineers," said Vita Como, senior director of Professional Development at the University of Houston's Cullen College of Engineering Career Center.
Como said that engineers, especially in Houston, have a wide range of career paths from which to choose.
"Our engineers often get jobs in industries that are energy-focused - not just exploration, but oil services and software companies who service oil and gas, industrial distribution firms, and so on."
The mechanical engineering department at the University of Houston's Cullen College of Engineering is the largest of the school's engineering departments, according to Como.
"We're also seeing the largest and most diverse demand for mechanical engineers. They can work for big oil, service companies or parts companies, for example. Mechanical engineers are probably the least tied to oil and gas," Como said.
Mark Tiller, associate dean of Instructional Support at Houston Community College Northwest, said other areas of engineering are also in high demand.
"Anecdotally, I've heard that the highest demand is for electrical, chemical, mechanical, petroleum and civil engineering. The Department of Labor reports very high demand for some specialty sub-fields like biomedical engineering as well," Tiller said.
"However, the demand for engineers is so great - especially in the local economy - that employment prospects are excellent in just about all fields and will only get better."
James Sells, chair of the mathematics department at San Jacinto College, once served as a petroleum reservoir engineer for Union Texas Petroleum, studying oil and gas fields in Texas, New Mexico, Canada, Madagascar, Argentina, Indonesia and the Gulf of Mexico.
"Almost all engineering fields are looking for new people. Many engineers were baby boomers who are now planning to retire. The country is in need of mechanical and civil engineers to work on the infrastructure. Also, the oil and gas industry needs engineers. That's cyclical," Sells said.
"A few years ago, one of our keynote speakers at Engineering Day told us that only 6 percent of college students major in engineering, yet 65 percent of the jobs listed by colleges are engineering jobs."
Nicole Van Den Heuvel, director of the Center for Career Development at Rice University, said that the school's engineering programs in chemical, mechanical, electrical and civil engineering continue to be very attractive for the oil and gas sector.
"In addition to the oil and gas companies, consulting firms, investment banks and sales and trading firms recruit our engineers, not only for their academic engineering training, but also for their leadership and strong problem-solving skills," Van Den Heuvel said. "The fact that Rice is in the energy capital of the world is reflected by a majority of our students ending up in Houston and the Southwest."
Many engineering students graduating from Houston-area schools choose to stay in the area due to the higher availability of jobs, higher salaries and lower costs of living.
"Eighty-five percent of the University of Houston's engineering graduates stay within 100-mile of radius of Houston," Como said.
Sheron Bruno, public relations director at Houston Community College Northeast, said that the four-year bachelor's degree programs for engineering that will be in the highest demand in the United States will be electrical, petroleum and chemical, civil, and mechanical.
Bruno said two-year colleges like HCC offer associate degree programs in engineering technology to also help prepare the burgeoning engineering workforce.
"Two-year programs in engineering technology that will be the highest in demand are petroleum engineering technology, process technology, electronic engineering technology and drafting and design engineering technology," Bruno said.

These snowflakes are such a darling size, I just had to have them. I turned mine into ornaments and gave them to coworkers.
The acrylic is durable, but it still went through my Cuttlebug and embossing folder so well. I used opaque white ink to distress it, then added glitter.
I am impressed with the durability and flexibility of the product, not to mention how cute it is! I will definitely get more, in this shape and others, for Christmas next year.

Play the Arena stage without any cages. (JP Version Only)
This is a glitch more than a Code, but you can use it to play in the Arena stage without any cages.
1) Finish Time Attack Mode.
2) Play Story Mode using the SAME CHARACTER. When you reach the final stage, skip Heihachi's intro (ie. press Start).
When the round begins, you'll see that the cages are down (actually, they're invisible). You can leave the Arena by going to the ramp which Heihachi walked down in the intro.
Note: In order for this code to work, you must play as a character who actually fights in the Arena Stage during story mode (for instance, Jin never fights in the Arena, so the glictch doesn't work for him).
