How would you respond to today's letter:
Dr. Shane, I've been dating a guy for a month, and I like him a lot: He's sweet, I'm really attracted to him, and we have great chemistry. Except for one thing.--It started with our first real kiss. At first I thought it was amazing, and that he really knew what he was doing. But then he licked my teeth.
--I thought maybe it was an accident, but now he does it all the time. He gets really into it, he starts licking my teeth, and sometimes he even he sucks on my tongue.
-- Everything else is perfect, and I don't want to mess it up. So how do I tell him I don't like it? What are some of the weird "kissing techniques" other people have experienced?
--Leanne, 25

University Reports
The University of Chicago Annual Report
The University of Chicago Annual Report describes UChicago's significant progress on a number of new initiatives over the last fiscal year, while providing an overview of our finances. These initiatives reflect a commitment to our enduring values of open and rigorous inquiry. At the same time they reflect the ambitions of the University community to see these values manifest in new and innovative ways.
College publications
Various groups in the College produce a number of College publications throughout the year, ranging from quick current-event updates to deep historical essays.
Aims of Education addresses
Every year since 1961, a University of Chicago faculty member has been invited to address students in the College regarding their view on the aims of a liberal education. In 1962 the Aims of Education Address was added to Orientation Week and officially became a tradition for incoming students. The address encourages students to reflect on the purpose and definition of education as they embark upon their collegiate years.
Convocation addresses
The very first convocation address was given by our first head of history, Hermann Eduard von Holst, and was titled "The Need of Universities in the United States." Five of the first eleven convocation addresses at the University of Chicago examined, in one manner or another, the nature of universities and their role in society. Since the beginning, the convocation address has shown a persistent focus on issues of substance rather than benign, and perhaps occasionally welcomed, advice for graduating students. Each address is, in one way or another, about the power of ideas and the central, essential, place they hold at the University of Chicago.
President Zimmer's speeches & publications
President Robert J. Zimmer is the author of two books, Ergodic Theory and Semisimple Groups (1984) and Essential Results of Functional Analysis (1990), and more than 80 mathematical research articles. Prior to his appointment as President, Zimmer was a University of Chicago faculty member and administrator for more than two decades specializing in the mathematical fields of geometry, particularly ergodic theory, Lie groups, and differential geometry.
Reports of the Office of the Provost
The Office of the Provost develops a number of initiatives, including accessibility improvements on campus, child care, diversity, women's leadership, and work-life integration, just to name some.
Reports of the Independent Review Committee for the University of Chicago Police Department
The Independent Review Committee for the University of Chicago Police Department (UCPD) examines complaints against the UCPD involving charges of excessive force, violation of rights, and abusive language. Composed of faculty members, staff, students, and members of the community, the Independent Review Committee (IRC) reviews the internal investigations that UCPD conducts and reports its conclusions and recommendations to the Provost, President, and Vice President for Administration & Chief Financial Officer as well as to the wider community via its annual report.
The University of Chicago Record
The University of Chicago Record, which is no longer in print, collects official University addresses, including convocation and Aims of Education addresses, policies, reports, and more. The most recent series ran from 1967 to 2008. Issues from 2000 to 2008 are available online. Issues from 1995-2000 will be available online in Spring 2013. Issues from 1967 to 1995 are available in the Special Collections Research Center of the University Library, along with previous series that were published from 1896 to 1908 and from 1915 to 1933.

Sonic 2 Retro Remix Current Version: SAGE 2011

I do like the idea in the maps that there are extra challenge levels that require high Emerald counts to access; these make perfect sense and are a great incentive to collect emeralds on your own time to access them later on in the game. In terms of progressing from zone to zone, though, I think the only thing that should be strictly mandatory is actually completing the levels. In this sense I think the only thing that's really necessary for you to change are the number of emeralds needed to pass each barrier, at least until the last zone or something (which could reasonably require a higher count to access or something, idk).
I dunno, man; I get what you're trying to do with the whole Mario 64 influence, but it works a lot better in a Mario game than it does a Sonic game. Mario games are all about pacing and platforming and shit; Sonic games are also strong platformers, but they encourage you first and foremost to go fast and complete levels fast. The last thing I think of in these levels is to slow to a crawl and start looking for all of these collectables and shit. I like that I can, but I don't like that I have to.

Posted 21 September 2011 - 12:59 PM
Just 'completed' the demo, as in got through the actual levels, but only came out with 38 emeralds. Going to go back and try and get the ones I missed. Favourite zones would probably be Mystic Woods and Casino Night.

LordOfSquad, on 21 September 2011 - 12:25 AM, said:
Yeah, my main issues are that it's possible to complete a level without collecting any emeralds (I agree there should be one given for merely completing each level in the first place), and that it's actually fairly hard to backtrack a lot of the time. Two of the emeralds in the first level strike me as particularly frustrating to reach, as the window of opportunity for getting to that route is very narrow.
Posted 22 September 2011 - 05:34 PM
Just a few things that annoy me are how Metropolis is such a long level (basically, never bothering to try time attacking and score attacking on such a long level), and how Chemical Plant 2 is so goddamn hard (I should get an emerald for just surviving that). The difficulty of the level makes me not really bother getting any emeralds at it. I might have tried to get some on it if it wasn't for how you positioned Sonic to spawn at the "hub world" so far away from the warp ring to the level! I mean, I sort of get the design around not positioning Sonic right next to the warp ring of the level that he was on: By placing Sonic "between" the path of the level that he was on and the next level, you induce the player to get to the next level, but you also do that so that the player doesn't "accidentally" enter the level he just got out of, so you position Sonic in a way so that if the player wants to retry the level, he needs to take actions that will actually require him to think whether he wants to replay the level or to go another one. But still, the warp ring of Chemical Plant 2 is so far away from the place in which Sonic spawns when he gets out of it, that re-entering the level takes so long and is so bothersome to do. It wouldn't be if I only needed to re-enter it once, but, because of the difficulty and also because of missions such as Score Attack and Time Attack, a lot of stages take a lot of retrials to get those emeralds, and when you retry that level more than a handful of times, the whole section that you need to cross to get to it does get very bothersome to do it again and again and again just to get to the level and quickly die or screw up your shot at Time/Score Attacking and have to do that again and again and again...
Basically, yeah, those are my only issues I think! I like the new Wall-Jump, it was really weird getting used to it at first (WHY ARE YOU CONSTANTLY STICKING YOURSELF TO THESE WALLS SONIC COME ON I DIDN'T PRESS A), but after getting used to it, it is safe to say it works a lot better than the old one.

Rave, on 22 September 2011 - 05:34 PM, said:
I thought this initially when I played Chemical Plant act 2 but considering I only gave the level a quick go the thought didn't give me too much bother. But now that you have mentioned it, it's something that should be addressed and not just this one but others as well. I agree that a spawn position needs to be reasonably placed away from a warp ring but not to the point where you are constantly running the same bit over and over again in the hub world because it gets a bit boring doing that, Cascade Valley between act 2 and act 3 is another example of this.
Also if it's a possibility, is there any chance you would consider adding an options menu to customize the game mechanics and other stuff if people want it. I still find using the new wall jump crap to use and wouldn't mind having an option to switch between original controls and new, plus have an option to turn the radar on or off. Considering your coding genius would it be worth your time to implement something like this?
Posted 24 September 2011 - 01:48 PM
However, it feels like in later zones, emeralds are much harder to obtain, even if I didn't get lost too often, due to the radar. It's... just not as entertaining. I wish the later levels were more like Mystic Woods or Cascade Valley, because those were REALLY entertaining.
But so far nice work! It's an unique concept for a sonic game, and I can see the you guys put a lot of effort in it
Posted 01 December 2011 - 08:30 AM
More to the point, I just updated the wiki page to have the SAGE 2011 version and added Mystic Woods to the level list. That this hadn't already been done is a travesty! Will someone please think of the children! Those with more encyclopaedic knowledge of the game than me might want to update any other relevant parts.
I should make more of an effort to be praiseworthy. Whilst I'll leave the debate over the details and specifics to others, I really appreciate the overall idea behind this: adding several new layers to the gameplay and experience—and from games that I love, I.e. SM64 and NiGHTS—that totally transform it. It's hugely ambitious, and it's paying off, especially as it evolves and fits together better with every version. Don't stop what you're doing! Listen to feedback, sure, when it's valid; but keep the core idea intact.
In that last respect, as an example, I think the emerald radar is a good thing on balance. Perhaps making it optional is a decent idea, for the players who are sufficiently confident in their abilities—unlike myself! I thought of suggesting some bonus for players who keep it off, but I'm unimaginative and it'd be hard to stretch such a concept across the entire game. I'm sure there are those like Steve who would prefer to have it off; I might be the same if I were more skilled at, or used to, searching, but it's been pretty helpful so far.
Posted 05 December 2011 - 11:01 AM
* After completing the (only?) Special Stage, no text is shown for the scores (although the usual tally SFX are played).
* CVZ2 lists its score attack threshold as 17000, but it's actually 20000—as I realised after considerable frustration! :P (No idea how I'll beat its time attack, or most of the others'; off to YouTube, I guess)
* It's probably not coming back, but—Classic Mode in the SAGE 2010 version resets scores between levels; this makes sense for the standard mode, but not so much for Classic.
Also, 60 emeralds and (slowly) counting. The final bosses were surprisingly easy, particularly the second one, but I raged a fair amount at their doubled HP.
Posted 05 December 2011 - 01:13 PM
@dsrb: The text removal was deliberate in an attempt to make clear that there is no reward for getting a certain score. I wanted to remove the screen entirely, but it seems that VRAM is toyed with during it in order to get back to displaying normal level graphics, so I did a quick and dirty edit. I'm pretty sure you're talking about the score error in Cascade Valley 3 instead of 2, which I spotted last month and have fixed for the next release (it should have been 17000). Lastly, if I didn't increase the HP on the final bosses, they would be beatable before they even get two attacks off, I.e. before they start their new attack patterns (and seriously, I made it so that you can whale on the final boss with little consequence, so I think the added HP is pretty necessary).
All around I am very displeased with the 2011 build, both in terms on circumstances around it and the game itself. I lost my last computer to hardware failure (but was smart enough to make constant backups as it started to die) about a month before the hacking contest, causing me to miss that and to be late to SAGE by half a day. I also had the misfortune of my SAGE entry e-mail landing in the recipient's junk folder, where it wasn't seen until right before SAGE started; hence, my booth was posted too late to be on the slide-out list of 24 and was only viewable on the main booth page. The game itself was a rushed job to get something out before all of the main Sonic fan game events were done for the year, so bugs like the ones in the previous post and the sharing of overworld respawn points between Acts 2 and 3 cropped up, and DNX's admittance that he may not continue on the project meant that I had to work with things I was capable of making art for.
So where does the hack go from here? The original plan that I conceived back in late 2009 or early 2010 was to create a large selection of levels, then to try to fit a stupid little story to it... something along the lines of fitting in a second character such as Mighty that has more "classic" Sonic gameplay while I give Sonic all of the new moves I've made so far, and to have the player proceed through with both characters. Except in the time I spent making levels and tweaking the hack, keeping this story to myself so that the Internet didn't barf at the sight of a fan game with a story, SEGA made exactly that game. FUCK. That's not to say I couldn't still do it, but the novelty's gone now. :P I do have other things in mind to do with the hack, such as replacing the overworlds with a world map and having alternate exits that lead to other acts, having more special stages and using the Chaos Emeralds from there in the same way that early Crash Bandicoot games used Color Gems for platforms, and having many acts per world to compensate for my now lacking ability to have more zone art.
On a random note, I know Sik asked me to integrate Puyo / Mean Bean somehow, and I know how I could do it, but I lack the know-how to get it working (I'd imagine having up to 72 Puyo objects on screen would cause serious lag with the whole of the Sonic engine running, so I'd have to pause everything else going on).
I am very open to ideas right now, whether they be people saying "have the hack do this" or people who care to contribute art/music/whatever to prevent this from being a solo project. I'll probably get back into serious work on this early next year when I am done playing all of the new games from the holiday season and I'm on break from classes.

As for the rest: The build was pretty great, all things considered. Shame DNX is leaving—for what it's worth, Frosty Peak is beautiful!—and hopefully there are other artist(s) here who'd like to contribute. I'm too unimaginative to have any good suggestions for the gameplay, but I'm looking forward to seeing what emerges in any case.
Posted 05 December 2011 - 04:07 PM
Also, outside from what I said on my post... Could you add gimmicks and stage elements from non Sonic 2 games? Idk if that's even possible, but it'd be really interesting to have, idk, that spiky log from Green Hill for instance in Mystic Woods Zone. While the level layouts are really fresh and new, they could mix elements from even more other stages to feel even more new and interesting.

BEIJING (AP) — A stage performance by bikini-clad women wearing headpieces styled after traditional Peking Opera has sparked debate in China after photos were made public this week, highlighting divided views on how to preserve the country's traditions.
Organizers of the Miss Bikini International Committee — which was responsible for the show staged in April to promote an upcoming bikini competition — defend the use of Chinese opera elements as a bold artistic attempt.
"We are only adding small elements of the opera to fit the Eastern style, and we are just adding Chinese traditional cultural elements on the stage in order to attract audience," said Li Jinkun, general manager of Beijing Beauty Cultural Development Co. Ltd., which organizes the bikini contests. "Our goal was to let the audience have a fresh and new feeling," Li said Thursday.
Supporters say such experiments should be tolerated in commercial endeavors, but opponents say the sexiness of bikinis insults the traditional art form, which typically appeals to older people.
The debate over the use of opera elements in the bikini show began on China's active social media, but state media soon chimed in with equally split opinions.
"To rejuvenate traditional arts is a serious matter. Any innovation must respect the art in the first place but not distort it or change it beyond recognition," the state-owned China Youth Daily said Wednesday.
But a microblogging site of the online version of the official People's Daily backed the changes, saying that traditional opera also can be sexy, while a commentator on the Weibo site said traditional operas cannot live in a vacuum.
"Bikini-style Peking Opera is an innovation. Whether it will last or not, only time can tell," commentator Wu Hongmin wrote.

(adj.; n. brainwashing)
Coerced or manipulated by any number of social, intellectual, and psycho-emotional methods, to do or accept things you wouldn't have otherwise. It is often an extension of common, everyday persuasion, but goes beyond it to control the way a person thinks and responds in general to limit critical thinking itself, not simply selling a single idea or decision based on presenting information and choice. The goal of brainwashing is the internalization of the (unrealized or unrecognized) abusive control to where you believe and feel it necessary to enforce someone else's will as your own, unaware of your lack of free will, and usually with an illusion of stronger free will. It goes beyond Stockholm Syndrome by having fear or doubt with regards to criticism about the authority (person, group and/or system of belief). Rationalizations are given to you to explain away anything contradictory. The common use of the term implies a blind spot where you cannot see an opposing point of view because of some control or conditioning. Contradictory facts cannot be processed (mental scotomization), or are warped to fit into a form that no longer contradicts (cognitive dissonance). Unlike simple indoctrination into many religions or philosophies, brainwashing goes beyond education to include reasons and/or phobias why questioning or turning away from it is wrong and people who do not agree are deceived, evil, or just wrong.

"Wytchwood" Offers Potions, Spells - And Not Just For HalloweenRhonda Gruber is the witch behind the mystical shopWILLOW - Halloween is a day for dressing up and decorating, but for most people the scary thrills come just once a year. But if you travel to Willow you might see a shop called Wytchwood, where potions and spells are an everyday affair. Cars going at a good clip could easily miss the spooky shop where the lawn is filled with witches and plastic ghouls. But for those who stop to take a peek, be prepared to meet a witch. Rhonda Gruber is the witch behind Wytchwood, a small store in a historic cabin packed with candles, charms and other magical items. It's a mystical supply shop and a place to get help with life's problems. "I'm kind of like the local bartender," says Gruber, who considers herself a counselor of sorts. She can help customers with their needs whether they are looking for love, more money or just relief from pain. The back of the shop is where Gruber mixes medicinal herb teas for all sorts of ailments, aches and pains. There are also teas and potions for specific outcomes like cleansing negative energy from the body or environment. One thing Gruber says she does not encourage are people seeking revenge. She says it's important for people to consider all the ramifications because sometimes things can go awry with powerful magic. And sometimes she requires written proof that the would be victims deserve it. Gruber warns that magic doesn't always work and there are no guarantees. Still, she says, she has a good track record and is always happy to help any who seek her services. Wytchwood is located at mile 85.5 on the Parks Highway. It is open from Tuesday through Saturday. You have indicated this comment should be removed.said on Tuesday, Oct 16 at 9:37 AM I've been in the shop and think it is absolutely fabulous! The teas and herbs are great, and Rhonda is full of information. Inappropriate? Alert Us! said on Monday, Oct 15 at 6:55 AM the light she has outside freaks me out at night, it looks like a cop car Inappropriate? Alert Us! Add a comment |

KO on the Protectobot side, the wheel rivets look shoddy and the decals on Streetwise look cheap. The positive on Hotspot is that it uses the "metal" chest + extra paint apps on his headlights. I know 'cause I saw and handled one already.

Chiefs' CB Flowers takes step forward
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Sep 13 2012 4:48PM
Following Wednesday's practice report, the Kansas City Chiefs saw three defensive starters limited in the first session of the week. On Thursday, one took a definitive step forward in getting ready for the game.
Cornerback Brandon Flowers, who sat out of the team's Week One contest with a foot injury, practiced in full for the first time this week. Both he and reserve cornerback Jalil Brown made the jump up in the distinction.
As for the other two starters, nose tackle Anthony Toribio (ankle) and safety Kendrick Lewis (shoulder) were each limited participants for the second straight day. Defensive end Allen Bailey (ankle) was also limited in the session, and wide receiver Devon Wylie missed his second practice of the week.
The Chiefs will unveil the official game status for their injured players following practice on Friday. They clash with the Buffalo Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium Sunday at 1 pm.

Pinebox derby stirs creativity, excitement for scouts
Leader with Troop 450 starts a race Saturday. | Joe Shuman~For Sun-Times Media
Updated: January 24, 2013 3:44PM
DEERFIELD — Saturday night, 44 racecars sped toward the finish line at Walden Elementary in Deerfield in the annual Walden Cub Scouts' Pinewood Derby. Weighing in at 5 ounces each, these cars were carefully crafted by Cub Scout Pack 450, and local Girl Scouts, along with their parents.
Lydia St. John, who had a son and a daughter participating in the race, said the event was much more than just a competition – it's a learning experience.
"I think what they learned was the intricacies involved, like the proper cutting of the wood and the angle to increase the speed of the car," St. John said. "At this point we're not trying to build Eagle Scouts, we're just trying to teach them and have a good time."
St. John said each participant was given a block of wood from the Boy Scouts, and that the racers can be as creative as they want with their racecar, as long as it weighs in at 5.0 ounces or less. St. John said at the Jan. 16 official weigh-in, some children were either adding or taking weight off their cars to reach that exact 5.0 ounces.
Michael Erdman said his son, Seth, a first grader, and daughter, Amelia, a 3rd grader, are taking part in the event for the first time, and that it was a very special time for him.
"I was a Cub Scout as a boy and remember doing this with my father some 35 years ago," Erdman said. "Now I'm literally doing again with my own kids in my own basement."
Erdman said he certainly saw differences between his son and his daughter, as far as their building specifications.
"I would say I think my daughter was perhaps a little more focused on the appearance of the car, not necessarily aerodynamics," Erdman said. "My son was a little more hands-on, like if there was a cut to be made or something to be sanded off he had more a technical interest in it."
To make the event even more special to Erdman and his children, Erdman's father, Bernie, flew in just for Saturday's race.
"We'll be there at the derby cheering them on," Bernie Erdman said. "I remember doing it with their dad when he was their age and we had a great time."
Michael Erdman's son, Seth, said he decorated his car with American flag stickers, and the number 167.
"One because I think my car will be first place, six because I am six, and seven because next year in the Scouts I will be seven," Seth said.
Amelia said she also put a lot of thought into the numbers on her car.
"I chose 19, one because I think my car will win, and nine because I am nine and want to remember that when I get older," Amelia said.
St. John's daughter, Emmy, a fourth grader, said she raced for the first time this year, and that it was a lot of fun, as well as very educational.
"It was really easy and it was enjoyable," Emmy said. "I cut it diagonally then made curves into it."
Emmy said she learned a lot about the proper way to use wood-cutting machinery as well.
"Even if I wasn't doing it on the machines, it would still be fun," Emmy said. "I knew how to hold my block of wood properly on the machinery and how to sand it and cut it."
As far as inviting the Girl Scouts to participate in the race, St. John said it only made sense.
"They have brothers participating, so why not have them involved," she added.
The winners included in the Cub Scouts category: Tiger Cubs (First Grade) - Carlitos Pacheco's "Angry;" Wolf Cubs (Second Grade) - Matthew St. John's "Future Force;" Bear Cubs (Third Grade) - Jeffery Battle's "Skull Ripper;" Junior Webelos (Fourth Grade) - Tommy DiNardo's "Deathwish;" and Senior Webelos (Fifth Grade) - Jonah Winter's "Rook Rocket."
Winners in the Girl Scouts category included: Daisy (First Grade) - Ainslee Battle's "Orange Diamonds;" Junior Brownies (Second Grade) - Eliza Kalina's "Perry the Platypus; "Brownies (Third Grade) - Lisa Pacheco's "Bodymobile;" and Junior Girl Scouts (Fourth Grade) - Emmy St. John's "Rock Star."
Ethan DiNardo's "Blue Streak" bested in the Siblings Group category.
The top 3 times recorded among all car entries are as follows:
Tommy DiNardo at 7.47 seconds; Steven DiNardo at 7.57 seconds; and Matthew St. John at 7.59 seconds.

Then one day, our statue was found dressed in a nightgown. But perhaps some poor person badly needed a nightgown, so the statue was bare again. Soon enough, somebody had dressed it up again, in a man's shirt. I often wonder at the people who did that. I doubt they were worried about the dignity of our fake plaster-of-paris Venus. It hasn't been molested (as far as I know). And I doubt they care about women looking at it. Maybe they were worried about the effect it would have on men who must also look at real, breathing women.
But surely, they don't believe that every male that happens to be exposed to the female body is psychologically damaged, that he will turn into a rapist and killer?
Perhaps, they do.
I've often wondered why we don't put these theories to the test. Does a human female body make the male want to attack it? Do clothes — any sort — prevent sexual attacks?
A good place to start would be a society where women don't wear any clothes. From what I hear, such tribes still exist. From what I hear, sexual assault is virtually unknown there and when it occurs, the culprit is usually an outsider — men who don't belong to clothing-less societies themselves. Such societies are not very different from us. They marry, bring up kids, worship. The only thing that's missing is clothes. And, perhaps, the constant fear of assault or humiliation.

We are pleased to present the 2012 edition of M&A law in Asia Pacific, which gives an overview of the key issues involved in the conduct of mergers and acquisitions in a number of jurisdictions in the region and offers guidance on regulatory constraints governing such transactions. The guide offers a comprehensive coverage of the major Asia Pacific jurisdictions.
M&A activity levels in the Asia Pacific region have remained varied in the first half of 2012 largely due to volatility in the global markets and the fact that operating conditions for businesses remain tough. Despite a challenging environment in the face of political, economic and regulatory uncertainty and concerns about a continued lack of resolution to the Eurozone crisis, M&A activity is continuing and is expected to increase once confidence returns.
This guide will be of interest to multinationals looking to invest in the Asia Pacific region, Asian corporations looking beyond their borders to invest in the region and financial advisers advising on such transactions.
The information contained in the guide is as accurate and up-to-date as possible as at 15 June 2012. The guide is simply a summary of the key issues relevant to an M&A transaction in the region and is not a substitute for legal advice. If you would like to discuss any of the issues raised here, please get in touch with us.
With our strong track record and as one of the best resourced international legal practices in the region with over 800 lawyers in our 13 Asia Pacific offices, we are well placed to advise clients on their investments in the Asia Pacific region.

PIAA reschedules playoff tournaments due to latest storm
Times staff
District One teams just can't get a break with the weather. First, Hurricane Sandy wreaks havoc with the all of the District One playoffs and then a nor'easter takes a toll on the first round games of the PIAA Tournament that were pushed back a day because of Sandy.
Rain, snow and high winds forced the postponement of several high school playoff events Wednesday. Cardinal O'Hara's showdown with Wissahickon in the first round of the PIAA Class AAA field hockey tournament was postponed, as were the volleyball games involving O'Hara, Strath Haven in Class AAA and Sacred Heart in Class A.
All the games will be made up today.
The O'Hara-Wissahickon game was scheduled to be played at the Germantown Super Site but was moved to Bonner-Prendergast at 1 p.m.
Cardinal O'Hara and Sacred Heart will still be part of a tripleheader at South Philadelphia High School. Sacred Heart takes on District 12 champ MaST Charter in the opener at 3. O'Hara squares off against District One runnerup Downingtown East in the nightcap at 7. Strath Haven plays District One champ Bishop Shanahan at William Tennent (7:30).

From paychecks to investments, money earned by Nebraska families is on the line as Washington tries to reach a consensus to prevent the country from falling over the 'fiscal cliff'.
The way it looks right now, the average middle class family would pay about $3,400 more in taxes a year.
With their toes dangling over the edge of the so-called fiscal cliff, there's a chasm between democrats and republicans.
"I wish they'd quit drawing lines in the playground sand and come together as adults and deal with the issue," said Michelle Banks, from Omaha.
"I understand the need for bigger tax revenue, but the bigger concern for me is curbing the spending," said Michael Geis.
No deal means there is nothing for the Senate and House to vote on. Late Sunday afternoon, legislators bridged what they called a 'major setback'. Republicans pulled out one piece of their offer to avoid the fiscal fallout.
"I was really happy that Republicans took the cuts to social security off the table," said Senate Majority Leader, Senator Harry Reid. "But the truth is they never should have been on the table to begin with."
Senate Minority Leader, Senator Mitch McConnell said he reached out to Vice President Biden while waiting for democrats to counteroffer.
"I want everyone to know I'm willing to get this done," said Sen. McConnell. "But I need a dance partner."
It's hard to dance around the issue that no deal means your taxes will rise. The payroll tax funding social security goes up 2 percent, costing you, on average, about $700 or more.

eBay Aims To Be Internet's Dominant Commerce Platform
At Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco, eBay's CEO discusses competition, the company's relationship with Facebook, and the role of the X.Commerce platform.Donahoe brushed off questions about competitors like Google (with Wallet) and Amazon, saying "we don't compete with the people who sell on our platform." eBay would rather enable commerce for all retailers, helping them enter an era of commerce that growingly begins and ends online, and an era that clearly also involves mobile devices.
Consumers that use mobile applications, Donahoe said, are four times more engaged than those who don't. Those consumers are interacting with those devices while in line buying coffee; in fact eBay customers buy 2600 cars per week on their phones. They "shop while they wait," said Donahoe.
In response to the threat that Facebook -- today an eBay partner -- could decide to go it alone someday, Donahoe said that the two companies are working very closely on discovering the emerging social shopping intersection. He also said he didn't expect that intersection would come completely to light for another two years, and that the social shopping experience is at the whim of a variety of factors, like gender differences.

The NFL games yesterday were an offense lovers dream. As we gorged on turkey and pumpkin pie...Tom Brady, RG3, Matt Schaub, Matt Stafford & Tony Romo gorged themselves on shoddy defense and put lots of points on the board. Alot of fantasy football owners took big leads over the opponents after yesterdays track meets. What happened to the D? This is late November...I know that two of the games were played in a dome...but isnt defense supposed to rule this time of year? The rules certainly favor the offense these days and with the added penalties for almost any kind of hard hit...the defense has never been at more of a disadvantage. The league knows that most fans want to see big scores and they are happy to oblige. If I was a betting man taking the over each week would seem to be a winning strategy.
No pro football today but lots of college football including Nebraska facing Iowa in Big Ten play.

text: I was wondering if anyone here could give me a little help here regarding my stripes (congratulate me, y'all :cool: ). I assume such things were pretty well standardized in the Federal service, but I was wondering what the general 'rule' of things was in the Confederate armies. My question is, what would be the correct dimensions (tip to tip, correct angle, width) of non-commisioned officer chevrons? What I'm going with so far is that they were more often put on separately, not in 'sets', and that black would be the best color for a Western Confederate impression. I also would appreciate it if anyone could tell me what the most common (if there was such a thing among W. Confederates) material would be, and if there is a source for it today. I appreciate any help.

The investigation revealed that on Friday, Nov. 2, shortly after 6 p.m., bicyclist Logan Bergeron, 14, of Gray was traveling westbound on Country Estates Drive in the westbound lane as a 1998 Dodge Ram truck was traveling eastbound on Country Estates Drive.
The Dodge was being driven by Stephen Pellegrin, 28, of Houma.
As the Dodge Ram approached, Bergeron entered the eastbound lane of Country Estates Dr. and was struck.
Pellegrin, who was wearing a seat belt, was not injured in the crash, but Bergeron was ejected from the bicycle.
Pellegrin submitted to a breath test and was found to be above the legal BAC limit of .08, troopers said.
Pellegrin was arrested for DWI and further charges are pending. The crash remains under investigation.

**I mostly volunteer to take pictures from the Wetzel County and Harrison County WV areas. I am willing to share and exchange information. The only thing I ask is to use me as a source for what information you get from me.
**I am a descendant of Edgells, Swigers, Talkingtons, Prices, Amos, Flowers, Starkeys, Levecks, Walls, Jones, McIntires, Barkers, Harberts, Moores, Martins, Bennetts and so on. So for most WV people, I'm sure our families cross somewhere.
**Findagrave isn't a competition for who puts the memorial on here first. This is for people who don't have access to their family graves and of course they are for the people whom they are created for. I am a pretty easy person to get along with. All people have to do is ask me nicely and I will transfer or correct my memorials. I have no problem deleting a memorial when it is brought to my attention that I have created a duplicate one.
**I do my best to make sure the information I use is correct, but I am far from being perfect. Please feel free to send me corrections when found. I will do my best to get them corrected asap. I will not delete any duplicates that are under the wrong cemetery unless the user fixes their mistakes or unless I'm proven to be wrong.
**I believe that an obituary is a public record and by saying that I have the right to use them on the memorials I create. If a family member didn't want their information out there they probably wouldn't have put the obituary in the newspaper. Anyone can google a person's name and if an obituary exists you will likely find it because it's public. I want people to know who the memorials are created for so they can be appreciated. I want no one forgotten. If I wasn't for our ancestors we wouldn't be here and I appreciate that. If a family member of any of the memorials I have created would contact me and ask me to remove or edited them I will do so without any question because people do have right to their privacy, but until then I'm using obituaries or any other public record put on the internet. It's my right and by them putting it out there it's giving people like me permission to use it. People need to understand that once the information is out there they have no control of its use.

Ives Hill Country Club was listed for sale Wednesday, with owner P.J. Simao saying he wants to preserve at least a nine-hole course with a clubhouse on Flower Avenue West.
The course is being offered as three separate parcels: a 55-acre parcel that includes the clubhouse, a 16-acre parcel on Weldon Drive and a 63-acre parcel off Ives Street Road in the town of Watertown.
Mr. Simao said it is his intention to restrict the sale of the clubhouse to a buyer who agrees to continue to maintain the property as a golf course. Ives Hill operated as a nine-hole course from its founding in the late 1800s until it was expanded to 18 holes in the 1970s. The remaining acreage will be marketed for development.
I have put a lot of careful thought into this and Im never going to be able to keep everyone happy, but I have tried to not change the complexion of the neighborhood over there, Mr. Simao said.
Mr. Simao, through one of his development companies, Prime LLC, purchased the course in 2007 after its previous owner, Ives Hill Land Co., decided to sell to alleviate debts the course incurred. Mr. Simao said he intended to run the course for only two or three years, but as the six-year mark approaches, the course is still operating in the red and its time to move on.
We have great natural resources close by with the lake and the river and it sucks people away in the summertime, he said. Its a highly competitive (golf) market up here, and the highest and best use for the property is not a golf course.
Upon taking over the club, Mr. Simao made improvements to the restaurant and the course, but he has been unable to turn it into a profitable venture.
I am the only individual who has owned the club in its existence and I can unequivocally say that I have made more of an investment personally than anyone has. By a landslide, he said.
The land on the Weldon Drive and Ives Street Road sides of the property is adjacent to the Immaculate Heart Central School and Ives Hill Retirement Community properties. Mr. Simao said the property could be developable as homes, town houses or apartments, each of which would still have a golf course nearby.
My goal is to at least give people the opportunity to preserve the nine-hole golf course and not change the environment, he said.
The property is in foreclosure proceedings, with HSBC Bank USA N.A., Buffalo, claiming it is owed about $490,000 on a mortgage it provided Prime in 2007. Mr. Simao has filed a $20 million counterclaim, contending that the bank knew, but failed to disclose to him, that his other business, DealMaker Auto Group, was in financial trouble at the time the loan was made for the golf course.
The marketing and sale of the golf course has nothing to do with my litigation with HSBC Bank, Mr. Simao said. With or without the sale of the golf course, my litigation with them will continue.
Mr. Simao declined to say what the asking price is for the parcels. Marketing is being handled by Robert C. Nelson, Alexandria Bay, a senior broker with CBRE, Syracuse, who is also marketing the Thousand Islands Country Club on Wellesley Island.
Mr. Simao said that while the marketing of Ives Hill Country Club takes place, it will be business as usual for its restaurant and golf course, with all memberships honored.
