PHILADELPHIA — The Phillies weren't expected to sniff victory in a matchup of two-time Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw vs. three-time bumped-to-the-bullpen-as-the-fifth-starter Roberto Hernandez.
However, they hung around. And in the seventh inning, they had the bases loaded and nobody out. And Domonic Brown scalded a ball that should have scored a run one way or another.
It didn't. And the Phillies were on their way to another home shutout loss.
Kershaw and four relievers teamed to secure a 2-0 win for the Dodgers at Citizens Bank Park, but frankly the Phillies' position players did more to tie that goose-egg up for them.
Amazingly, the play that sent any rally hopes off the rails for the Phils — the failure of Ben Revere to stay close enough to the bag to make sure he could score regardless of whether Brown's line drive to left dropped — was defended by the manager.
"You know what? From my angle, that's a tough call," said Ryne Sandberg, who might want to check other angles. "It looked like a sure base hit, it was so shallow. I was surprised he made a catch on that."
Perhaps Crawford was playing shallow. But it is the job of the players and coaches to know where he is playing. And maybe instinct is to head toward home on a ball that seems ripe to be a hit. But Ben Revere was scoring on a hit if he were 10 feet away from the third-base bag or 45 feet. He was the latter, pointlessly.
The weirdness started as soon as the seventh-inning stretch ended, with Revere pinch-hitting for Darin Ruf against reliever Brandon League. It was an odd choice with a couple more pinch-hitting situations waiting to go down later in the inning, and Ruf considered mostly worth having in the majors for his bat. But Revere actually seemed to make it moot when he slapped the only type of hit he can get — a single — to center.
Perhaps Revere, who has become a platoon outfielder at best, would use his one tool — speed — to steal second.
No, that didn't happen. But Cesar Hernandez did walk, so no harm there. Pinch-hitter Tony Gwynn Jr. was next, and he was brought on in place of John Mayberry Jr., who apparently is incapable of dropping a bunt.
Gwynn did, and as a bonus League botched the throw to load the bases for Brown, pinch-hitting for the pitcher.
Brown had to face southpaw J.P. Howell, but that didn't matter as he scalded a line drive to left field. However, the ball was smoked so hard that Crawford was able to make a sliding catch on it. Still, Revere certainly knew that he could cover the 90 feet no matter if the ball were caught or fell, right?
When Crawford made the grab, Revere was exactly halfway between third and home. So there was no shot of tagging up. It was low-IQ baseball at its worst.
Yet everyone in the clubhouse seemed to think Revere not using plain logic on the bases was acceptable.
"There was no outs, I was going no matter what," Revere said in the equivalent of calling the Earth flat. "The ball just kind of stayed up in the air. I thought it was going to land, and he made the catch … I thought that ball was going to be down for sure off the bat.
"That was a tough call. I don't know if it's a shoestring catch, if he scores or not," said Sandberg, somehow doubting that Revere could make the 90-foot sprint home before Crawford could make a sliding grab, then get to his feet, then throw. "It was definitely a big play."
After the gaffe no one wanted to admit was a gaffe, Jimmy Rollins followed with a hard-stung grounder that got Revere forced out at the plate. Two outs. And Carlos Ruiz flew out to end the inning.
No runs, no shot.
The Phils had two other promising innings in which they had two men on and no outs against Kershaw.
Yes, not getting a run in either of those spots is not great. But Kershaw is.
"Kershaw did the job when he needed to," Marlon Byrd said, "and we didn't. He's one of the best pitchers in baseball, and you have to tip your cap to him."
This was the fourth time in their last eight home games the Phillies (20-25) were shut out.
"If you can explain it," Byrd said of the shutouts, "please tell me."
Frankly, a team that plays as lifeless as the Phils at home isn't going anywhere. And a team that is as fundamentally flawed as this one is really in trouble.

Abe and EJ make peace, Andrew has something to show Gabi, and Will comes out to Roman.
Bo and Hope watch Ciara and Theo playing at home. When Ciara asks when Uncle Abe and Aunt Lexi are coming back, Theo tells her his mommy just went to heaven. Hope starts to cry while Bo's jaw drops.
In their garden, Abe sobs over Lexi's body, begging her not to leave him. Her ghost floats outside her body and she smiles down at him. She tells him he'll be fine. "I need you to believe me." Abe feels he's all alone without her but Lexi's ghost tells him he's not alone. He has their son, friends and wonderful memories. Abe cries that he's not ready. "I'm never going to be ready," he bawls. Lexi tells him she'll never leave him and then hugs him. Hope arrives and Abe tells her Lexi's gone. Hope starts to cry while Lexi's spirit hovers nearby.
Gabi finds Andrew at the park and gushes about Melanie leaving Chad. Andrew recalls kidnapping Melanie but acts surprised. Now she has her shot with Chad. Andrew thinks Melanie might stay away forever. Gabi wishes she could be that fortunate but isn't sure Chad sees her for more than a friend. Andrew tells Gabi it'll be easy to keep Chad from talking to Melanie. Gabi's confused.
Melanie pounds on the door of her cell. She removes the bobby pin from her hair and attempts to unlock the door. Andrew and Gabi walk into the outer room. Andrew says it used to be a dark room. Gabi asks what this has to do with keeping Melanie and Chad from talking.
At the mansion, EJ orders Will to tell the police the truth about what happened the night his father was murdered. Will worries about coming out to the public this way. EJ receives a call from Hope, who whispers she's at Lexi's and she's sorry. "She passed away a few minutes ago." EJ stammers a thank-you and hangs up. He tells Will what happened. Will gives his condolences and touches his shoulder. What can he do? Nothing. EJ apologizes and asks to be excused.
Neil arrives at SPD to give Will an alibi. They were at Salem's gay bar, "The Spot," together. Roman turns up and Rafe fills him in. Roman doesn't buy that his grandson would spend the night in a gay bar. Neil claims that's where he and Will go when they go out together. Roman asks Sami to confirm this but she thinks he should ask Will, who just happens to walk in and confirms that he was with Neil the night of the murder. Roman thinks people might get the wrong impression if they hear he's been hanging at a gay bar. "You think it's better if they thought I murdered somebody?" Roman denies that but Will says the impression people will get is correct. "Grandpa, I'm gay," he admits. Roman breathes a big sigh and Rafe and Carrie are proud of him. He just made Carrie's job a lot easier. Roman thinks this will take some getting used to. Sami reminds him Will's still the same. Everyone leaves to get the charges dropped and Sami hugs Will with pride. She thanks Neil for coming clean and Neil hugs Will. Roman worries for Will, who says it was EJ's idea to come clean. Carrie runs in. "The charges have been dropped!"
Bo and Abe sit in the garden and Abe says he feels numb. A part of him is missing. Bo tries comforting him. He's glad his friend had the opportunity to say goodbye. Abe's grateful for that. He cries that he knew Lexi was hiding her pain. Bo thinks Abe gave Lexi everything she needed and wanted and hugs him. Inside, Hope calls Celeste and asks her to come as soon as she can. Lexi's ghost puts a hand on Theo's shoulder and grins. Without looking, he knows it's her. "Hi Mommy. Do you have to go?" She is sorry but she has to. She asks him to take care of daddy. She tells him she loves him. She'll always be there when he needs her. She hugs him as Abe and Bo walk in. Bo tells Abe that Theo sensed Lexi's passing. Abe's not surprised. Theo's always had an amazing connection with his mother. Theo tells his daddy his mommy told him to look after him now. They hug and Lexi blows him a kiss and watches as. EJ arrives. Bo is sorry for his loss. Theo hugs EJ and goes to play with Ciara. Abe tells EJ how it happened and EJ says he doesn't want to intrude. Hope and Bo leave the room. EJ admits Lexi was his best and only friend - the most important person in both their lives. "What do they do now?" Lexi tells them they'll find a way but first, they need to make peace with each other. Abe wants to honor Lexi's wishes for peace. "You're welcome here anytime," Abe says. "You are our family." EJ is touched and thanks Abe and the men embrace. Hope and Bo return. Hope called Cameron, Celeste and Brandon. Lexi's ghost heads upstairs and then fades away.
Will finds Sonny at the pub and tells him the charges are dropped but he'll be outed soon. Sonny gives Will advice and hugs him.

"Today, Valve will launch the beta of Big Picture mode, a version of Steam designed for your television. That's right. The de facto central hub of PC gaming is now designed to run while you're lounging in your living room - and with a controller, no less. I've tried out Big Picture. It's sleek, intuitive, and groundbreaking in several ways." We've talked about this before. If there's one company that can upend consoles, it's Valve. Everything is falling into place, and I wouldn't be surprised if this - what is essentially the software for the 'Steambox' - will have a tremendous effect on the games industry. Looks great, too.

Looks sleek, but I'm hardly sold on their ability to dominate the console market.
They don't have to "dominate" it for this to be a profitable move. And they're well-situated for this; they've already got the titles, and many of them already have the controller-based interface in place (since they've already released the Orange Box and L4D2 on consoles). They also don't need to develop new specialist hardware; they look like they're angling to do this on more-of-less off-the-shelf hardware, which will greatly reduce the expense. Personally I think it's a pretty shrewd move.
I mean, I'm sure a lot of the love is because they're throwing Linux a bone, but a lot of pieces have to fall correctly into place for their success to be guaranteed.
That's definitely a contributing factor, but this is still a pretty good idea for them. With both OS X and Windows drifting towards app-store-style centralized application management, Valve are justifiably worried that Steam will become irrelevant on desktop PCs. They have to look for a new platform. And like I say, they've already got the titles, they've already got the console UIs, and they've already got the distribution channel, so they really just need the hardware.

Now Playing: Language: Russian. Duration: 23 minutes, 50 seconds.
Topic: Kremlin
Aside from visiting heads of state, few foreigners ever get to see the beautiful interiors of the Grand Kremlin Palace in Moscow. Today it serves as the official residence of the President of the Russian Federation.
Before the Russian Revolution, the palace served as the official residence of the reigning sovereign and family while they were visiting the city. The palace is rich in Romanov history and was the venue for magnificent balls, sumptuous state dinners, and more.
Paul Gilbert, Founder of Royal Russia standing in St. Andrew's Hall of the Grand Kremlin Palace, 27th October, 2000
I was very fortunate to visit this historic palace on my 44th birthday on October 27th, 2000. I had organized a tour that year to Moscow and the Crimea, in which a group of 15 people from Canada and the United States took part. I had been negotiating with the Kremlin administration for several years prior to allow me to include the Grand Kremlin Palace as part of one of my group tours. Permission was finally granted that year and it was well worth all the red tape that went with it.
This video comes from a Russian media source and offers views of the State Halls which were restored to their original during the Yeltsin years, as well as the former private apartments of the Romanovs.

The studies will receive funding from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) and the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and have support from lawmakers and local officials.
The first study will cover industrial transportation and will be followed by one that examines infrastructure needs. The two state agencies will share the cost and the studies are expected to take about 18 months to complete.
Points to be covered in the reports include forecasted trends in freight movement and how they could affect the Decatur region's rail lines, industrial parks, brownfields and state and local highways. The goals of the recommendations would be to support overall economic growth and preserving livability for the area's residents.
IDOT Secretary Ann Schneider said, "This study will help to identify and create more seamless multi-modal transportation connections that will provide sustainable benefits to the environment and the community, while further enhancing the vital role freight plays in the local and state economies."

The World's Greatest Detective finally has one of the world's greatest games to call his own. Looking for tips on how to rack up 40-move combos? Need help finding all the Riddler trophies? Just want to complain about how stupid Bane looks? This is the plac
Batman Arkham Asylum was the best and most accurate game for the Dark Knight in Gaming History.
Various vilians, areas of awe, and clever riddles for you to fight, solve, and marinate in as the World's Greatest Detective. Sly, stealthy and truly super as himself, Batman is a Fan-Favorite.
With great expectations met in the first title, what do you expect for the Caped Crusader in his second?
thats a great question. idk if many people would like these things too, but what i would like for AA2 would be some driving/escape/chase scenes in the Batmobile. i know the first game had strong stealth elements, and i think that should stay, but i just love the Batmobile. i think i driving sequence could be done well, and still keep with the suspense/action vibe the first game had. (i think the 'tumbler' is cooler than the standard Batmobile, but thats not likely in the game i don't think.) also, i would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to spend even a small amount of the game as Bruce
Wayne. maybe in the very beginning (even just the opening sequence would be nice) you're Bruce Wayne talking with Alfred of Lucius Fox when you get the call for Batman. i think some of the strongest parts of AA1 were the parts that kinda showed Batman's human, vulnerable "Bruce Way" side, like the Scarecrow sequences.
the batmobile idea is sweet. im kinda hoping for a more open world, y'now. like i was kinda lost after i reached 100% in the first because i got sick of the challenges and just stopped playing. i think it would be cool, since youre no longer limited to a relatively tiny island, if after reaching 100% in the game, that like there is still some crime in the city. like not the story mode type of huge crime, but like small robberies and stuff. im not proposing gta gotham but it would just be cool. id also like to see more things for completionists like myself such as more riddles and other small challenges.i hope in light of the main villains already being leaked, rocksteady might include some cameos of minor characters like mad hatter, my personal favorite batman villain, or even like humpty dumpty. just obscure characters to kinda highten the suspense or the excitement
I'm all for an open world and perhaps something extra for youy to do once you've finished the game.
I'd love to see a sweet high graphic chase seen with the bat moblie and a villans car.That would really cool ,and maybe getting to fight in gotham city
Open World gameplay. Vehicles. More drama (hehe).
A vehicle level in the Batwing. I want to rain death onto Jokers fortress (or whatever).
Eh? Whats all this?!

Well, the Rapture didn't happen. All the true believers are still here on Earth, and while I'm sure they're sad about it, their faith will be stronger than ever. It's something that's hard to wrap your mind around, but precisely because the Rapture didn't happen, the faithful will believe even more — not less.
Festinger's theory of cognitive dissonance, which predicts that the more we have given and invested in a particular point of view, the less likely we will be to abandon it in the face of contrary evidence. It's the same cognitive process that kicks in when we are made to behave in ways that are inconsistent with our beliefs; in the face of that disharmony, we often change our beliefs to be congruent with our behaviors and self-perception. Cognitive dissonance is uncomfortable and leads people to seek resolution.
Whaaaa…? You might be thinking, that doesn't even make sense…
[S]tudies have found that when people pay more for a bad wine or meal, they are more likely to report that it was tasty, compared with people who paid less for the exact same crappy dinner or drink. No one wants to be a sucker.
Well, there ya go. People believe stupid stuff; invest a lot of time and energy in stupid stuff; so, instead of cutting their losses and chalking it up to a lesson learned about stupid stuff, they dig in even harder; and the cycle begins again.
I can't wait to see what Mr Camping has up his sleeve next….

26-year-old Jenny Trover was killed Monday when someone driving the wrong way on Interstate 70 slammed into her car. Trover died immediately, but her five-month-old son Alexander survived and is currently in fair condition at St. Mary's Hospital.
The doctor's say he's suffering from multiple skull fractures, a condition that can be compared to Shaken Baby Syndrome because of the impact of the crash. Trover's mother Mary Louise Noose says, "it's a miracle he survived, but part of that was because of Jenny's love."
Noose says she can't describe it, but her intuition tells her that Jenny is still looking over her five month old son and her 8-year-old daughter. The same intuition that told her the bad accident she heard about involved her daughter, so Noose went down to I-70 only to have her worst fear realized, "I could see her tires torn, I could see what she was pinned behind."
William Trover says of his bride-to-be, "I just want her to know she'll always be in my heart and on my mind." Family and friends say Trover loved being outside, collecting dolls, and fishing. They say she loved kids so much she was a bus driver, who one day hoped to be a truck driver. This is unfortunately a goal that will never be accomplished.
A viewing for Trover is Tuesday, May 20, at Callahan Edfast Mortuary from Noon to 7:00 P.M. Her memorial service is the following Saturday, 2:00 P.M., at the LDS church in Fruita.

The city will have free parking through the month of December.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. – The city of North Adams is extending the courtesy of free parking for shoppers during the holiday effective Thursday, Saturday, Dec. 1.
Parking in the downtown area (excluding long-term meters) will be free to the general public until Dec. 31.
Merchants need to be aware that this is for the convenience of their customers and long-term parking in these "free" areas by merchants, could result in the receipt of a violation notice. Additionally, while parking is free, it is still limited to the one or two hours posted on the meters.
"The city is blessed to have a wide variety of restaurants, retail stores, salons and service oriented businesses," said Mayor Richard Alcombright. "These businesses not only bring life to our downtown but also provide jobs and very unique shopping options for our residents. I am hoping that this small gesture of free parking will help to encourage folks to shop locally whenever possible."
Start date updated because the editor apparently can't read a calendar.

Diablo 3's upcoming expansion is adding quite a bit of content, but Blizzard is using the opportunity to correct some things too. The studio is making no bones about it, either, as lead content designer Kevin Martens says the revised loot system is targeted squarely at the auction house.
"The loot system and the enchanting and crafting systems are both intended to cut the legs out from the auction house; to make it unnecessary to go on it to some degree, where the most fun way to play the game becomes the best way to play the game," Martens told PC Gamer. He said this is in reaction to users over-reliance on the auction house at the end-game, rather than getting new loot through play as intended.
The update will add smarter drops with more legendaries and extra effects, in addition to a new Loot Run mode that will randomly generate a small dungeon to grab some loot.
Blizzard has no plans to do away with the auction house completely, as Martens says that trading is still a perfectly valid way to gain items. "It's just that it's been skewed so if you're a character who's spending money maybe you're getting eighty percent of your gear from the Auction House, and 20 percent in game. It should be the reverse at best. It's more fun to kill monsters. It's the same thing I said about Loot Runs. If you want the best gear, let's put it in a place in-game where you're killing monsters."
The auction houses have been criticized before, as former game director Jay Wilson said it "really hurt the game." It was the root of some technical problems as well, like a gold-duplicating bug that forced Blizzard to pull the auction house altogether, temporarily.

Chattanooga – The Tennessee Aquarium's River Gorge Explorer recently earned the 2013 TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence.
This designation places the River Gorge Explorer among the top ten percent businesses on Trip Advisor. The award is given to businesses that consistently earn high ratings from TripAdvisor travelers. "We are committed to providing every passenger with an entertaining and educational experience," said Captain Pete Hosemann. "So we're thrilled that our guests want to tell others about their trips with us."
The River Gorge Explorer, a 70 passenger catamaran – and the first of its kind in the Southeast – transports guests downstream into "Tennessee's Grand Canyon", the Tennessee River Gorge. This scenic waterway is home to a remarkable array of plants and animals.
Aquarium naturalists, like John Dever, lead each excursion pointing out wildlife and historic points of interest along the way. "Right now there are five active Osprey nests along the cruise route," said Dever. "One has three chicks so our passengers get a good look at them and the fishing and feeding behaviors of the parents." Birdwatchers enjoy comparing the different fishing strategies used by Kingfishers, Great Blue Herons and Ospreys.
Dever also reports seeing a lot of hawks recently. He notes that Bald Eagles nest in the Gorge and are spotted on about half of the summer excursions. Kids enjoy learning about these animals and their natural habitat in the Gorge. They can earn "Eagle Eye" stickers and view the sights through real binoculars.
Since coming to Chattanooga in 2008, the River Gorge Explorer has carried more than 144,000 passengers and traveled nearly 100,000 miles. The boat is scheduled to make its 3,500th trip early this summer.
Early reservations are recommended and can be made online at: tnaqua.org/RiverGorgeExplorer.

Fort Wayne, Ind. (AP) The latest unemployment figures are providing the democratic and republican presidential candidates a chance to highlight their differences on the economy.
The Labor Department reported today that unemployment rose to 5.1 percent last month.
Barack Obama says that's a sign the nation is "sliding into recession." he says John McCain's response is to stand on the sidelines and watch the housing crisis unfold, while Obama's been pushing for action such as a crackdown on predatory lending practices.
Hillary Rodham Clinton also criticized McCain, saying today's jobs report might make the likely republican nominee "recognize that doing nothing is not an economic strategy in times of urgent need."
Mccain issued a statement saying the news "underlines the need to focus on innovation." he says that will help the economy grow and create a need for worker retraining.

This word was used in the following sentence:
- Code: Select all
_ _ _
Quorum arte aedificatae sunt urbes?
I was always under the impression that the AE ending was for nouns only. Could you please explain?
Aedificat means "build," so I also theorized that aedifcatAE could be a noun that meant building, but I can't fit that into the sentence. Maybe I'm just stupid.

The strengths of the LLVM infrastructure are its extremely simple design (which makes it easy to understand and use), source-language independence, powerful mid-level optimizer, automated compiler debugging support, extensibility, and its stability and reliability. LLVM is currently being used to host a wide variety of academic research projects and commercial projects. LLVM includes C and C++ front-ends, a front-end for a Forth-like language (Stacker), a young scheme front-end, and Java support is in development. LLVM can generate code for X86, SparcV9, PowerPC, or it can emit C code.
LLVM is the key component of the clang compiler and the gcc plugin called dragonegg.

When Richard Kaminski had an unusual mole removed from his cheek in 1998, he thought it was the end of his experience with melanoma.
But more than 10 years later, Kaminski developed a cough that didn't go away. Medical tests confirmed the diagnosis: metastatic melanoma that had spread to his lungs.
Melanoma is a form of skin cancer that kills 85 percent of its victims within five years if it has spread. It is responsible for about 9,000 deaths in the United States a year, according to the American Cancer Society.
Kaminski was floored. "I had this awful thing working in my lungs," he said.
Doctors treated Kaminski with a drug typically used against this form of cancer, but without success. It was only when his oncologist put him in touch with Dr. Anna Pavlick at New York University, who enrolled him in a clinical trial of a medication called vemurafenib, that he began to turn the corner on the deadly illness.
Before treatment, Kaminski recalled, "I had great difficulty breathing. I couldn't put sentences together because I couldn't get a deep breath. I had pain in my chest." Three weeks after beginning the drug, "A lot of that was greatly diminished," he said.
Within three months, Kaminski's symptoms disappeared. Scans showed his tumors starting to regress. By the end of 2010, the tumors were gone.
Kaminski, now 65, is understandably thankful.
"In two weeks, I will be two years on this drug," he said. "It was a lifeline."
On Wednesday, the results of the clinical trial in which Kaminski was enrolled appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine. In the study conducted at 13 centers in the U.S. and Australia, researchers followed 132 patients with Kaminski's type of melanoma who had failed to respond to standard treatment. In about half of them, vemurafenib shrunk their tumors. For another third of the patients, the tumors showed no progression once the drug regimen had kicked in. Dr. Lynn Schuchter at the University of Pennsylvania, another of the study's authors, called these numbers "unprecedented."
"I've treated patients [with melanoma] for almost 25 years and never seen a drug with this kind of activity," Schuchter said. "It's so much better than the therapies that have been available to us before."
Also impressive was the improvement in survival; patients on the drug lived, on average, for an additional 15.9 months after treatment began, compared with the six to 10 months typically seen with the disease. A larger trial, also published this year in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that the drug brought about improved survival at six months. But the authors of the new study were able to follow some of their patients much longer -- for more than a year after they'd started treatment.
"[They] really show much prolonged survival," Schuchter said, "and that's been my experience clinically as well, that they're living longer and with high quality of life."
For patients like Kaminski who fail standard treatment, the new drug offers hope. Unlike many other cancer drugs, vemurafenib was just as effective in patients who had failed a previous treatment as it was in patients who had received the drug right off the bat -- a rare finding when it comes to cancer treatments.
The drug is not without its limits. In targeted therapy, cancer cells can mutate slightly and stop being a target, a process called resistance. In this study, cancer tended to recur in patients after about seven months of treatment. Dr. Kelly McMasters, chairwoman of surgery at the University of Louisville who treats melanoma patients, points out, "It can cause the tumors to shrink, but they will recur on average in about six months."
That being said, McMasters said, "In some patients ... vemurafenib offers the hope to shrink the tumors enough to allow [surgical removal]."
So far, resistance hasn't been an issue for Richard Kaminski. Two years into treatment, he continues to enjoy a relatively normal life. He loves to garden, although he does have to take precautions out in the sun since one of the side effects of the medication is sun sensitivity.
"Life is good for me," he says. "I'm really happy these days."
Also, even though results of the trial have now been published, his role in it isn't over. He continues to take the medication and report for medical scans to track his progress and, hopefully, to find out why he's continuing to do so well.
"One thing that I hope we'll find out is why [I'm] responding more than everybody else," he said. "I'm sure [there are] a few other people in my time frame around the country, and I hope they're getting a lot of good information from them as well."
And how does it feel, knowing he's contributing to research efforts?
"That feels pretty good," he said.

Clusters of people live to be 100 years of age or longer in places such as Sardinia Italy and Okanawka Japan. These cultures have excellent mental acuity and longevity due to being consistently physical, possessing strong social networks and diets rich in antioxidant fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. These simple lifestyle choices lead to brain longevity.
The leading cause of neurological decline is Inflammation. In many cases, inflammation is a normal physiological process. The cells repair damaged tissue and fight off foreign bodies which are good things as the body is healing. The problem with brain aging is that there is too much inflammation! Amyloid plaques then begin to form which have been proven to be associated with the pathology of more than 20 serious human diseases. I advise to maximize FOUR simple lifestyle choices to ensure optimal cognitive health for the present and well into the future. This includes physical exercise, mental stimulation, stress management and of course, nutrition.
Nutrition should be thought of as FOOD AS MEDICINE. It is not just for weight loss although achieving optimal body weight is important. In general society presents with an obesity epidemic and this greatly increases the risk for Alzheimers. Weight loss is not easy! The dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex says don't eat while the orbital frontal cortex says eat cake! Thus, a battle of the brain occurs BUT when people have success you see clear alterations in neuro function. Will power is created in the brain! Here are the top foods I recommend to assist with weight loss, food as medicine and will power!
TURMERIC : Curcumin is the main antioxidant component in turmeric and it greatly protects brain health. If cooking with turmeric heat up oil and put the spice in first to release all the nutritive properties. I personally just go hard core and eat the raw root daily or juice it or blend into a smoothie!
COCONUT OIL: Coconut oil provides an alternative fuel source for the brain and protects the brain from damage! Alzheimer's can be compared to a type 3 diabetes. When insulin levels are chronically high from poor blood sugar it keeps the brain from clearing out Amyloid plaque which is associated with Alzheimer's disease. Coconut oil helps to feed the brain and stabilize blood sugar and hormones. Many studies have shown complete reversal of symptoms by having two tablespoons of coconut oil daily! Note that the oil must be organic and extra virgin.
ASHWAGANDA: Ashwaganda is an adaptogen herb that comes from India. Translation means the strength of 10,000 horses. Adaptogen herbs adapt for stress hormones. Stress causes oxidative stress and the brain cells get over excited and die. Using ashwaganda for 5 days is as effective as prescribed pharmaceuticals. The natural approach however eliminates side effects and encourages other neurological benefits
LIVER MEATS: Liver and other organ meats boost mitochondria production and therefore boost brain health. Organ meats are an amazing protector of the Myelin Sheath. If you cant tolerate eating liver take it in pill form. Radiant life grassfed liver is a supplement I can highly recommend. Most people don't want these meats so stores sell them for cheaper. Always look for a high quality grassfed organic meat or supplement!
GELATIN: This is a complete superfood for the brain! However, I am not talking about your standard jello! Grass fed beef gelatin as a supplement builds collagen, protects the brain and is the highest food in glycine. Glycine is a coping marker. If low in glycine and an incident occurs to induce stress it can throw everything off, make it more difficult to function and therefore a noted decline in brain health. An increase in glycine quells insomnia, decreases stress, heals the gut and is a usable form of protein.
People equate brain health with strong memory but there is so much more to brain health than just memory. Cognitive function includes behavior such as paying attention, focus, thinking, reasoning and mood. If someone is anxious or depressed they can not do any of the above to their potential. Physical exercise is not just for weight loss as it also allows for increased oxygen to the brain and the brain cells. Simply walking with a brisk pace 20 minutes a day will lower your risk for Alzheimer's. When you move the body it increases oxygen and nutrients to the brain which stimulates your neurons to grow connections between brain cells and ultimately increases brain function. Memory decline begins during age 30 and beyond. The most common complaint is names, prospective memory and the tip of the tongue phenomenon. These are common and all have problems but this does not ever need to occur with successful brain aging. Growth of plaques and tangles can be halted.
Stimulate your brain! Lifelong learning will protect your brain. Thus, it is important to remain stimulated with continuous learning and education yet there is no need to strain your brain. Simply do something you enjoy. To ensure an even bigger boost exercise your brain with focused memory techniques and you will improve your memory performance with sustained effects.
Stress greatly affects brain health and your nervous system thus strategies to reduce stress and keep adrenals healthy is crucial. Some great stress relief includes yoga, meditation, tai chi, just being social, being sure to take breaks, getting a good nights sleep and whatever else you like to do that is relaxing. When de-stressed, relaxed and happy there are clear alterations in neuro activity. Improvement in mood and cognition changes inflammation markers in the blood. Thus, the common theme here is reducing inflammation.
Physical Exercise, mental Stimulation, ensuring a de-crease in stress hormones and finally the right kind of nutrition that uses food as medicine can prevent and at times reverse any cognitive decline even when it is reaching the stages of Alzheimer's and Dementia. Incorporate these simple lifestyle changes and feel amazing no matter what your age or situation. Remember that prevention is key so take action while young and vibrant and you will ensure your quality of life for years to come.

ABOARD A U.S. MILITARY AIRCRAFT (Reuters) - Defense Secretary Leon Panetta refused to speculate on Monday about how soon he might step down and even joked that he couldn't rule out spending another term in the job, saying: "Who the hell knows?"
There is intense speculation at the Pentagon that Panetta might retire within months following President Barack Obama's re-election, spurring a guessing game about a successor.
Possible candidates include Panetta's deputy, Ashton Carter, and Michele Flournoy, who was his policy chief before stepping down earlier this year, and who would become the first woman to serve as America's defense chief.
"It's no secret that at some point I'd like to get back to California. It's my home," Panetta, 74, told reporters flying with him to Australia.
But he also hinted the timing of his departure could be tied to questions including the defense budget. Automatic budget cuts are due to kick in next year that would pummel defense spending, and which Obama and Congress are trying to prevent.
Panetta also pointed to the drawdown in Afghanistan, saying that the Pentagon and the White House hoped to reach a decision in the coming weeks about how many U.S. troops would stay in the country after 2014 - when the NATO mission ends and most U.S. combat forces are due home.
"There are a lot of challenges right now with regards to defense issues in Washington," Panetta said. "And I think the president and I are working very closely to make sure that we meet those defense challenges."
Panetta called Congress to strike a deal on the budget, noting that he believed the Defense Department had already done its share to reduce the deficit through cuts of nearly half a trillion dollars to projected spending over the next decade.
But he cautioned against any deal by Congress as it wraps up its session to simply strike an agreement to delay the hard decisions until later, saying it would cast a cloud of uncertainty over the Defense Department and future spending.
Such uncertainty is certain to be a topic on Panetta's trip to Australia, Thailand and Cambodia, where Asia-Pacific allies will renew questions about U.S. commitments to the region, given the coming fiscal crunch.
"That's the last damn thing I need right now is to have more uncertainty," said Panetta, whose salty language has become a trademark of his tenure at the Pentagon.
It's not always easy to leave the Pentagon. Panetta's predecessor, Robert Gates, had hoped to step down at the end of President George W. Bush's tenure, but instead stayed on for the first two-and-a-half years of Obama's first term.
Asked whether he might stay in the job for Obama's second term, Panetta, said: "Who the hell knows?"
"My experience in Washington is you better do this day to day," he said.

Ichiro, Yanks progressing toward one-year deal
By Bryan Hoch / 12/10/12 5:54 PM ET
NEW YORK -- The Yankees are making progress toward a new contract with outfielder Ichiro Suzuki, according to multiple published reports.
ESPN.com's Buster Olney reported that Ichiro, 39, and the Yankees are expected to come to an agreement "within the next few days."
Ichiro's agent, Tony Attanasio, has said that Ichiro's first choice was to return to the Yankees, where he batted .322 with five home runs and 27 RBIs in 67 games after being acquired from the Mariners on July 23.
A .322 hitter in the big leagues and the owner of 2,606 Major League hits, plus 1,278 more in Japan, Ichiro was reportedly irked by a lack of attention from the Yankees early in the free-agent process when the club was prioritizing starting pitching.
But having signed pitchers Hiroki Kuroda, Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera for a combined $37 million in one-year deals, the Yankees began to turn their attention to offense at the Winter Meetings and held meetings with Ichiro's camp, among others.
Ichiro was in the final season of a five-year, $90 million deal when he was acquired by the Yankees, earning $17 million in 2012. The Mariners included cash considerations in the trade for pitchers D.J. Mitchell and Danny Farquhar.
If Ichiro returns, the Yankees will have an all left-handed-hitting outfield, with Brett Gardner and Curtis Granderson in place. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that if that happens, a right-handed bat in the role that Andruw Jones filled in 2011-12 will become a priority.
The Yankees are also waiting on a response from free-agent infielder Kevin Youkilis, who is weighing a one-year, $12 million contract offer from the club.

Roger Federer has dropped to number five in the latest ATP world rankings following his second-round defeat at Wimbledon 2013 – his lowest ranking for a decade.
Federer has not been outside the world's top four since 2003 and many will use this as further evidence for the claim that he is no longer a competitive rival for the world's best.
Going to the All England Club as defending champion this year, the 31-year-old was shocked in the second round by Sergiy Stakhovsky of Ukraine.
The world number 116 came back from a set down to complete the biggest win of his career and hand Federer his earliest exit from Wimbledon since 2002.
The Swiss has fallen behind Rafael Nadal at number four; the Spaniard suffered a similarly shocking defeat, going out to world number 135 Steve Darcis in the first round.
Andy Murray remains number two despite beating world number one Novak Djokovic to become the first British men's singles Wimbledon champion for 77 years.
David Ferrer is third, while SW19 semi-finalist Jerzy Janowicz has moved up five places to 17th, as he continues he meteoric rise over the past year.

LITTLE BABY'S ICE CREAM creates singular frozen desserts made with imagination and care. LITTLE BABY'S ICE CREAM provides unique customer realizations through comfortable, detailed, and informative service. LITTLE BABY'S ICE CREAM strives to be a responsible business in all our practices and decisions; to us this means supporting the neighborhoods where we live and do business, our local economy, and our regional food system. LITTLE BABY'S ICE CREAM aims to support sustainable agriculture and reduce the amount of waste we produce whenever possible. LITTLE BABY'S ICE CREAM treats our employees as co-workers and we treat our co-workers as we treat ourselves. LITTLE BABY'S ICE CREAM is committed to meaningful, comedic, and creative engagement with our community. LITTLE BABY'S ICE CREAM is dedicated to making the best and weirdest Ice Cream in the world.
Our story begins in the winter of 2011 with a few former musicians in Philadelphia, and a vision of an Ice Cream company which would serve as the nexus between their past and future creative lives. Ice Cream, they figured, could bring people together, could make people happy, and could provide a unique opportunity to subvert people's expectations and encourage new experiences.
So that summer, they scooped their homemade Ice Cream from "The Flavor Blaster One", a custom built, multimedia tricycle: a mobile fun zone; a situationist spectacle; a joy on three wheels; and according to the Department of Health, a "Push Cart Food Retail Non-Permanent Location". They played their Music For Ice Cream, a generative musical environment derived from a hacked music box. They presented unusual flavors that no one had imagined before. They presented flavors made without dairy, because Ice Cream is for Everyone.
In the spring of 2012, they built three additional tricycles and began extended service throughout the greater Philadelphia region at concerts, festivals, farmers' markets, movies, birthday parties, weddings, roller derbies, book releases, office parties, and more.
In the early summer of 2012, they began distributing their Ice Cream in pint containers to select independent retailers in the Philadelphia region.
On Friday, August 3rd of 2012 they opened up their first shop, their "World Headquarters", located in the East Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia at 2311 Frankford Avenue -- a space shared with the world's first and only pizza memorabilia museum, Pizza Brain. On this very same day, "This is a Special Time", a video work produced for the company by Doug Garth Williams, was released and swiftly took the Internet by storm. As of this writing, it has attracted over Eleven Million views.
In the spring of 2013, on Saturday, April 20th, Little Baby's opened up its second shop, which was dubbed "Cedar Park Embassy" in recognition its location in the Cedar Park neighborhood of West Philadelphia, at 4903 Catharine Street.
Today, they continue to sling their scoops throughout the great City of Philadelphia and beyond, and continue their mobile operations as far as their expanding base of Ice Cream fans will bring them. Their catering and events staff is known to serve waiting, open mouths throughout Southeastern PA, Lehigh Valley, New Jersey, Delaware, Baltimore, and Washington, DC. Their pints are available in a rapidly growing number of fine food retailers.
Little Baby's recognizes Ice Cream as a universal catalyst for joyful diversion and a stoked community. They are happy to connect with the rich Ice Cream history in Philadelphia and link it with their unique vision for the future.
Be Easy! Stay Cold.
Community is important to us, and we wouldn't be who we are without a little help from our friends. Here are some of them.

Submission + - Barnes and Noble allegedly violating GPL for Nook (barnesandnoble.com)
tulare writes: The boot process in B&N's flagship Nook Tablet is locked (good discussion here) and now one user has started a thread at the B&N support forums to address the question of whether or not their boot process is GPL-compliant.

PUNTO FIJO, Venezuela -- Large columns of smoke and flame billowed over Venezuela's largest crude refinery Sunday, as authorities looked to put out a fire caused by an explosion over the weekend that killed dozens in the country's deadliest oil industry accident.
Government officials on Sunday said the 640,000 bpd Amuay refinery can be restarted in two days once the blaze has been extinguished and the area deemed "secure."
But crews battling the fire, which broke out early Saturday following a likely gas leak explosion that killed 41 people and injured over 80 more, were dealt a setback by shifting winds overnight.
At least one official at the local oil industry union questioned the government's stance that the plant could resume operations in just a couple days.
A lot of what [the government is] saying I think is damage control...it's all political, said Ivan Freites, a local union leader. The workers say it's probably going to take a lot longer. Right now the damage is incalculable.
Officials from state oil monopoly Petroleos de Venezuela, or PdVSA, didn't give an assessment of damage but said that the flames had been contained to two storage tanks in the southernmost section of the refinery.
The facility is part of the larger Paraguana complex, located in the northwestern coastal state of Falcon, with a total refining capacity of roughly 950,000 bpd.
Rafael Ramirez, who doubles as oil minister and PdVSA chief, assured viewers during a televised update that the refining area of the facility wasn't damaged or at risk and that the country had enough stored fuel and alternate facilities to meet domestic demand.
We have 10 days of inventory of product, Mr. Ramirez said from near the site and added that Venezuela's remaining refineries had a capacity of 735,000 bpd of fuel.
Take confidence in the men and women of the new socialist PdVSA, said Jesus Luongo, general manager of the Paraguana Refining Center.
Mr. Luongo said under a worst-case scenario, it would take a couple of days for the blaze to burn itself out if firefighters were unable to douse the flames. Such a strategy wouldn't endanger the surrounding facility, he said.
Mr. Luongo added that fire crews had resumed on Sunday engaging the blaze at one of the storage tanks.
A cloud of smoke could be seen from miles away, hanging over the refinery and parts of the city.
Officials estimate that more than 200 homes in the area were affected by the blast and 33 families displaced.
Residents of the Ali Primera zone, along the refinerys southern end saw many windows and roofs collapse from the shockwave.
Of the reported fatalities, at least 18 were members of the National Guard stationed near the refinery, 15 were civilians - mostly family of National Guard members - and six bodies remained unidentified.
On Sunday, authorities reported two additional deaths of hospitalized victims of the blast but provided little further detail.
The place looked like a war zone, Ramon Guerra, a Punto Fijo resident who had helped in the rescue effort, said of the National Guard compound.
It was as if someone dropped a bomb on the place. Everything was wiped out, he said, showing a video he had taken of the aftermath using a smartphone camera.
President Hugo Chavez, who in recent days had been focusing on development in the oil industry amid a hotly contested battle for re-election, declared three days of mourning and expressed his condolences in a written statement.
There is nothing more necessary in this difficult time than the unified solidarity among all Venezuelans, the leader said.
Mr. Chavez has opened an investigation into the blast and has encouraged the nation to resist attempts to exploit the tragedy.
During the contentious campaign, the fiery president has often warned of ambiguous plots - without offering details - by the US and Venezuelas political opposition to destabilize the country in an attempt to keep him from capturing a third six-year term in office.
His main rival in the Oct. 7 vote, Henrique Capriles, steered clear of politics in a Twitter message expressing his wishes for a speedy recovery for the injured.
We ask almighty God for the recuperation of all those people who have been hurt by...(the) accident, the 40-year-old former state governor wrote.
The explosion comes at a time when many analysts believe Mr. Chavez is fighting his toughest electoral fight ever. The 58-year-old incumbent, who remains the favorite to win, has been losing ground to the youthful contender in several local polls.
In recent days, Mr. Chavez has apparently sought to match the door-to-door campaign of the Mr. Capriles and had hit the campaign trail while primarily focusing on the development of the oil industry.
Of course, this accident is going to become used in the election, said Angel Mora, a former contractor at Amuay who continues to live in the shadow of the refinery. Its just a matter of who's going to do it first, Mr. Mora said of the two presidential rivals. He described himself as not a Chavista, but I don't trust the opposition either.
The populist leader, who recently reasserted that PdVSA was the bedrock of his self-styled socialist revolution, has vowed to increase oil production to 3.5 million bpd by the end of 2012 up from the 3 million bpd Venezuelan officials report as present output.
Industry estimates outside of Venezuela place the country's output at around 2.7 million bpd.
Detractors of Mr. Chavez, however, point out that his government has chronically failed to meet the often ambitious output goals during his 13 years in office with production actually slipping by many estimates.
Opponents of the president contend PdVSA has been starved of its own revenue, which has been diverted to finance Mr. Chavez's many social initiatives, contributing to chronic operational delays and accidents.
On Saturday, Mr. Luongo dismissed such criticism and said the PdVSA has kept a rigorous maintenance program, while spending more than $6 billion on upkeep.
Residents around Punto Fijo said that a partisan debate rages on with one side saying the Amuay disaster is due to government negligence while the other says some sort of sabotage could be at play.
But Jesus Navarro, who lives about 500 meters from the burning storage tank, says he just hopes the government pays for the roof that collapsed at his modest three-room home during the Saturday blast.
Let's just hope it doesn't rain in the meantime, he said looking at his bed.

WELLESLEY, Mass. – The Brandeis softball team's sensational 2010 season came to a close today as the Judges dropped a 4-1 decision in their rematch with the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in an NCAA tournament elimination game at Wellesley College. The Judges close out their season with a 29-9-1 record after advancing further than any team in school history.
Playing as the road team today, the Judges got top of the first inning off to a successful start. With one out, sophomore 1B Marianne Specker (So. Windsor, Conn./Westminster School) knocked a ball back through the middle for her team-leading fifth hit of the regional. In a scenario similar to Friday evening's win over the Bears, Specker made a tour of the bases thanks to a trio of illegal pitches by Coast Guard sophomore pitcher Hayley Feindel (River Ridge, La.). Senior Erin Ross (Manalapan, N.J./Manalapan) drew a base-on-balls later in the frame, but the Judges could not do anything else with it, taking a 1-0 lead into the bottom of the frame.
Coast Guard (34-9) came right back in the bottom of the first, loading the bases on four-straight hits. Senior designated player Courtney Wolf (Fredericksburg, Md.) knotted the game with a single to right-center field, but Judge sophomore centerfielder Lauren Porcaro (Shrewsbury, Mass./Shrewsbury) made a perfect cut-off throw to Specker. Specker fired a strike to Ross, who blocked the plate for the second out, and senior Emily Vaillette (Milford, N.H./Milford) got a strikeout to escape further damage.
Brandeis couldn't muster any offense against Feindel in their next two at-bats, and Coast Guard struck for the winning runs in the bottom of the third. After a lead-off strikeout, USCGA followed with singles by junior catcher Amanda Frederick (Lebanon, Ohio) and rookie 3B Holli Bastinck (Wayne, N.J.). That brought up Wolf, who launched a 2-2 pitch to center field to give the Bears the 4-1 lead that would hold up until the end of the game.
After the blast, Brandeis head coach Jessica Johnson called on senior Allie Mussen (Franklin Square, N.Y./Carey). After allowing two more hits, Mussen settled in and got two strikeouts to hold the deficit at three runs. The Judges got two runners on base in the fourth when Ross singled to left with one out and sophomore DP Lara Hirschler (Bellmore, N.Y./JFK), making her tournament debut, sent one to right with two away, putting runners on first and second, but Feindel fanned Porcaro to neutralize the threat. Brandeis kept the deficit at three in the fourth on a line-drive double play turned by junior 2B Melisa Cagar (Ridgewood, N.J./Ridgewood) against Frederick
Brandeis had two-out threats in the fifth and sixth as well before coming up short. Cagar drew a walk and stole second – her 30th of the season - in the fifth, but was stranded after a grounder to second. In the sixth, Ross reached base for the third time in the game with a one-out walk. After junior 3B Danielle Lavallee (Sutton, Mass./Notre Dame Acad.) flew out to right on her second hard-hit ball of the contest, Lara Hirschler singled through the hole to right, bring her twin sister Maxie up as a pinch hitter. Maxie's liner to third glanced off the fielder's glove, loading the bases, but Feindel coaxed a pop-up from the next batter to escape once again. Judge senior SS Chelsea Korp (Worcester, Mass./Holy Name) turned a 6-3 double play in the bottom of the sixth, but Brandeis couldn't muster any offense in the top of the seventh.
With their season complete, the Brandeis class of 2010 of Chelsea Korp, Allie Mussen, Erin Ross and Emily Vaillette have compiled a school-record 118 victories, four post-season appearances (three ECAC, one NCAA), one ECAC title and the program's first-ever national-ranking. Korp, who started 171 of a possible 172 games in her career, is Brandeis's all-time leader in both categories and ranks second in career assists (318) and at-bats (514). Mussen owns 16 career wins and is tied for the school-lead with four saves. Ross is second in total chances (855) and putouts (739), whileVaillette graduates as the program's career ERA leader (2.36), appearances (85), starts (67) and shutouts (10), second in wins (39) and innings pitched (406.0) and third in strikeouts (265).

Release Notes: /ctcp was fixed. Away messages can appear in UTF-16 encoding as well as profiles, so both are decoded now.
Release Notes: Simple heuristics were added for disabling encryption. Availability messages and profile and away message retrieval were added. A workaround was made for empty hyperlinks sent by the official AIM client.
Release Notes: A minor adjustment was made to automatic away message discovery. This quells the erroneous messages which said, "Server response was formatted incorrectly, can't find username in info HTML."
Release Notes: Preliminary support was added for having multiple clients connected to the same screen name on AIM.
 is now treated as a synonym for
. Your .naimrc can now use the modload command.
Release Notes: The IRC driver now accepts incoming lines that end in a naked "\n". /delbuddy did not always correctly remove the user from your server-side buddy list. If you had a user with the same friendly name as another user's account name, naim would become unstable when the second user signed on. The status bar now displays typing notifications. Warning levels are now displayed. There is a new /setpriv command to modify your privacy settings. IPv6 support has been modernized and enabled. Friendly names are now stored to and retrieved from your server-side buddy list.
Release Notes: This version features minor bugfixes.
Release Notes: In certain situations, $-variable expansion could result in an improperly terminated string, causing out-of-bounds memory access. This is thought to only produce screen corruption, but all users are encouraged to upgrade regardless. Starting with this release, manual pages will be installed to PREFIX/share/man instead of PREFIX/man by default.
Release Notes: The program now handles it when IRC servers silently truncate nicknames to fit limits. Potential buffer overflow in the spelling correction code were fixed. Several memory leaks have been corrected. A potential buffer underflow in the signon code was fixed. New key-handling code dramatically improves responsiveness for laggy connections and when pasting large blocks of text. Potential use of an uninitialized buffer in the statusbar code was identified, and a work-around was implemented. If two windows have identical presentations, Tab will now work as expected.
Release Notes: This is primarily a maintenance release, with proven features from the 0.12.0 experimental tree backported to the stable tree. However, a number of new features and behavior changes managed to creep in (such as /status and the HTML renderer changes). /names now displays the entire, correct list in all situations, including initial join. Messages that have been rejected by a protocol driver (for example because they are too long) are returned to the sender.
Release Notes: Dynamic modules now work in all environments naim supports, including Cygwin/Windows and Mac OS 10. Modules can now be /modunloaded after they are /modloaded. Queued messages are now preserved when you /save. Small improvements have been made to the HTML parser. naim header files are now installed globally to allow building modules separately from naim. Small bugs have been fixed in /away (after reconnect), .naimprofile reading (for multiple connections), and action detection in AIM chat rooms.

Software provider files protest
MADISON, Wis. (AP) – A Wisconsin-based school software provider has filed a protest with the state over its losing of a $15 million contract to a Minnesota company. Skyward Inc. said Friday it had filed the protest with Gov. Scott Walker's administration, saying its bid was lower than the bid winner Infinite Campus of Blaine, Minn. The contract winner will be the sole provider of student information systems to Wisconsin's more than 440 school districts and non-district charter schools. The state said that week that Infinite Campus had the highest scoring proposal based on several criteria, including having the highest technical score and the lowest cost. Democratic Wisconsin lawmakers have complained that Skyward's losing of the bid could result in a loss of jobs in the state.

ONE of the world's oldest warships dramatically dropped to the harbour floor when water leaked out of its berth in a dock at Dundee's waterfront, it has been revealed.
Twenty people on board HMS Unicorn were evacuated when the historic vessel began drop to the bottom of the Victoria Dock on Wednesday night following problems with the dock's sea gate.
The 80 year-old North Carr lightship, which was berthed alongside, also dropped to the bottom of dock when the Camperdown Dock sea gate could not be fully closed and water escaped into the River Tay. Both historic vessels dropped an estimated eight feet onto the muddy floor of the dock and were undamaged.
