This week's Tech Roundup comes courtesy of UK distributor Zyro's Open House dealer show and stars high-end Spanish cycling kit from Etxeondo with a legendary racing heritage, super-light disc rotors - possibly for road use - from Ashima, patriotic Cateye computers, new shades from Tifosi and some clever lubes from Fenwicks.
That's just a fraction of what we saw there and in the coming days we'll be telling you about Xentis wheels from Austria, some cool new iPad training apps from Minoura, genuinely impressive new GPS computers from Bryton and a fascinating helmet from Abus that neatly follows on from a previous road.cc story from 18 months ago.
The Thirsk-based warehouse of Zyro Ltd is packed with the kind of staple products your preferred bike emporium stocks for every eventuality. Literally tons of sensible stuff from companies like Zefal for pumps, MKS for the definitive range of everyday pedals and, as of this year, the equally practical Hamax childseat range. But they do shiny things too, which is why we scamper like eager schoolboys to the sweetshop once a year for their annual dealer shindig to see what's new for the coming season and hear seminars from manufacturers such as 'Mr Minoura' whose name really is Mr Minoura-san and 'Mr Fenwick' whose isn't.
Etxeondo (pron: eshtay-ondo) goes big in the UK
First of all the gang from clothing company Etxeondo were keen to make sure we were pronouncing their native Basque language right and it's 'eshtay-ondo' after the name of the barn that the business was started in. What they couldn't agree on initially was what Etxeondo actually means but it turns out 'near the house' is good so we're glad that's cleared up.
What isn't in dispute is that Etxeondo has been going for 36 years - founded in 1976 by Francisco Rodrigo and wife both of whom came from a background in the fashion industry with Dior and Balenciaga… so pretty top drawer stuff. Right from the off they put the emphasis on creating high performance cycling kit that combined the latest in high tech materials with the highest standards of craftsmanship and tailoring.
They take the cut of their garments VERY seriously at Etxeondo to the extent that it's done by hand to make sure that each panel has the correct bias for the way it will need to stretch in the final garment - even if that means more wastage than if the material was cut by laser hitched up to a computer program. All their garments are made in-house.
These days Etxeondo rule the roost when it comes to high end cycling kit in Spain and over the years they've kitted out pretty much every big Spanish cycling team including Once, Banesto, Liberty Seguros and of course Euskaltel-Euskadi.
The brand has been available in the UK for ages from clothing specialists Prendas Ciclismo and also Always Riding. Recently with the international rise of interest in sporty road cycling Etxeondo have been having a bit of a rethink about where they stand in the great scheme of things, even going so far as to pull out of top-level sponsorship a couple of seasons ago.
Women's Bibshorts have a snap buckle front and back for pitstops.
That's not to say they don't kit out any pros these days. Some top riders are keen enough on their shorts and in particular the pad - which Etxeondo have made to their own design – that they wear them inside other company's shorts. The Etxeondo boys had the pad their's had replaced from a very famous cyclist's shorts to prove it, too. Indeed such is their exacting attention to detail in this particularly crucial area that their man Francisco Rodrigo reckons that if the placement of the padding in the shorts is just 1mm out of alignment it can dramatically reduce its effectiveness.
That's not their only strongly held belief when it comes to cycling shorts. Etxeondo have a bit of a downer on chamois creams which they reckon inhibit the pad's ability to work properly, ditto over-printing on the pad; their reasoning is that while it might look techy the silicon-printed layer reduces the breathability of the pad and they don't do silicon leg grippers either for much the same reason. Plus they reckon that if your shorts are cut properly they should stay where you want them without the need for silicon.
Etxeondo say their pads are so well designed and stitched in place that no kind of chamois cream is necessary.
Recently they've gone through something of a reorganisation with the aim of upping their game by being available through a larger number of retailers outside Spain, albeit the ones that stock high-end road kit, but they're pointing out that despite trying for 'bigger' the garments are still 'better' and all still made at their San Sebastian base. Plus chock-full (is that a Basque term? - ed) of clever and innovative ideas as well as nice quality materials and stitching. Particularly impressive, we thought, were their Feather bibshorts - at 117g the lightest available apparently - with a dense and firmly-compressing structure despite the light weight and pads.
To test them a couple of the Etxeondo chaps rode them the 700Km from San Sebastien to Barcelona; they're that comfortable and without chamois cream, too. We'll look forward to trying the Feather Bibshorts, especially as they're at the top end of the price spectrum at £169.99.
Fenwicks lubes get stealthier and easier to understand
Two good new things we saw from Fenwicks: a non-latex-based product called Airtight Tubeless Tyre Sealant that is claimed to last three years inside your tyres instead of six months and best of all sets to a jelly when it's not moving, therefore not going all over the place when changing tyres. Also a new chain lube called Stealth - because it makes your chain silent - in road and mountain bike versions which Fenwicks claim will last a best-case 400-500 miles per application once it has dried in place after careful application using the dropper. Their Jonathan Smith reckons you can drip Stealth lube onto all 114 links of your chain in 30 seconds although he may have been practising.
Like a lot of engineers making 'technical' products, Mr Smith says they were fairly criticised for giving their UK-made bike lubes and cleaners obscure names and then expected everyone to understand what they were intended for. This year everything will get a new name describing exactly what it does but they'll keep the product colours the same so if you're used to seeing their FS10 looking pink in a clear hand-spray bottle, it will still be pink but helpful for the uninitiated to know that it's now FS10 Bike Cleaner. There are also QR codes on each product leading straight to a video showing the correct procedure for use.
Oh, and a third item but it's not really new; their Fenwicks chain cleaning sponge looks like a work of genius and furthermore they claim that when used in combination with their Foaming Chain Cleaner it's more effective and economical than a chain-bath-machine-type device and a lot less messier, plus you don't have the post- chain cleaning quandry of what do with the contents on the chain bath once you've cleaned your chain. We have a sample and will report back.
The Fenwicks chain cleaning sponge: they reckon that when used in combination with their Foaming Chain Cleaner it does a better job and is more economical than any of the chain cleaning machines.
Ashima sneak peek a super-light disc rotor. For roadies?
Apart from some classy new workshop tools that are still at the pre-production stage, the disc brake and cable specialists Ashima were showing a prototype superlight two-piece disc rotor/aluminium carrier combo with 3-bolt fixing code-named Neon. "Could that be for road use?" we all asked in unison. "Why, yes." replied the nice man from Ashima. Meanwhile their more conventional and existing 6-bolt rotor has been further lightened to an ethereal 67 grams.
Panaracer: new Race Type A TT tubular tyre
The Japanese tyre company Panaracer were showing a supple and beautifully-made - in Japan - new 23mm tubular tyre called Race Type A TT to complement their range of top-end fast clinchers with dual compound rubber and puncture protection. Explaining the 'TT' bit, the tread is what used to be called Matt to signify a textured finish but without any pattern as such to imply its intended use on fast, smooth courses. Triathletes and time-triallists pursuing personal best times on their aero wheels will love it and the £69.99 price is competitive. Weight 280 grams, the thread count of the casing is 290 threads per inch; that's what you call fine.
More choices from PowerBar
If the large Protein Plus recovery bars in various flavours provide almost a complete meal replacement on their own, the new smaller 35g versions costing £1.40 are designed to offer more of a post-workout snack. There are larger, more economical tubs of the existing Isomax and Isoactive energy and salt-replacing powder mixes and a new product described as a 'pre-workout loader' called Charger. Intended to be taken 30-minutes before exercise, the energy components including caffeine are boosted with creatine, Leucine and L-Arginine, the latter an amino acid that boosts blood flow. A large 1.2Kg tub contains enough for 27 pre-workout big bottles and costs £47.99.
German SQlab saddles and fitting system
SQlab have been going for ten years in their native Germany, offering a range of saddles majoring on comfort but there are 'performance' options, too; the cro-mo railed model 601 being a case in point which weighs 369 grams in its narrowest guise. So it isn't exactly super light but nor is it at all heavy especially as SQlab set great store by first measuring your pelvis width by sitting you on a hard surface to make an impression on a cardboard sheet and then selling you the appropriate width from a choice of three. The 601 is not cheap either at £109.99 but the chassis is designed to rock laterally up to 7°, damped by a choice of three colour-coded elastomer mouldings with the idea being to allow for minor differences in leg length and/or an asymmetric pedalling style. There's also an otherwise identical but even lighter 611 model with titanium rails weighing 289 grams and only £10 more. All the saddles in the range starting at £49.99 are strictly flat across the widest part but have a forward groove to allow for comfort in your naughty bits.
Our Tony pulls down to make the right impression on his cardboard bottom-measuring sheet while Zyro's Neil Mountain supervises.
Incremental changes at Cateye in 2012
For stock arriving in July, the Japanese company has pulled off the seemingly impossible by slimming down the popular Velo Wireless computer while also increasing the screen size which makes the numbers easier to see. The button has gone to be replaced with the 'Click Tech' function from the Strada model where the whole bottom edge of the unit body clicks for cycling through functions and there's also now a backlight which comes on briefly when you select any function. A nice touch will be that the potentially 7 functions can be pared down to just the ones you want to see when you cycle through. Price will be £45.
The top-end V3 computer gets a complete overhaul inside and out with reconfigured buttons that are easier to work with gloves on and the circuitry now communicates with a new sleeker speed & cadence sensor via the 2.4Ghz protocol. The new unit will cost £110 with the optional heart rate monitor in a new simplified fabric design for £40 or £135 for the complete set. An extra speed & cadence sensor for a second bike costs £40; the new electronics now mean the V3 'knows' which of the two bikes it's attached to. Clever.
A new slimmer Digital version of the Strada wireless computer in July will utilise the same 2.4Ghz wireless technology meaning that the sensors, either from the crank and rear wheel or heartrate from the chest, will be interchangeable with the V3. Price with HRM will be £100.
Sooner than that, though, in April will be a Union Jack 2012 Olympics version of the existing Strada model that already comes in a nice selection of bike-matching colours for £50.
Tifosi eyewear: more fast-changing photochromic options
We're already pretty sold on Tifosi glasses having reviewed various models from the US company's enormous range with generally satisfying results. The idea is to provide most of the optical features and quality of the 'premium' brands but without the sponsorship deals that push the price Sky-high - see what I did there? - when you want to look like Cav. Tifosi are particularly proud of the NXT photochromic technology that they licenced from the patent holders when Rudy Project pulled out of cycling glasses. They have a particularly impressive demonstration of how the lens changes from light to dark in 15 seconds and they claim that because the technology is an integral part of the polycarbonate lens rather than a scratchable coating, it's very durable.

2008 Olympic decathlon gold medalist Bryan Clay and two-time Thorpe Cup heptathlon champion Bettie Wade will be among the deep men's and women's squads for the upcoming Thorpe Cup. The 19th edition of the decathlon and seventh edition of the heptathlon, the Thorpe Cup will take place Saturday and Sunday in Marburg, Germany.
The Thorpe Cup is an annual multi-event competition pitting members of Team USA against Germany. Team scoring for the event is determined by the top five men's and top three women's scores being added together to reach a winner.
On the Team USA roster, Clay will join four men that finished in the top ten in the decathlon at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials – Track & Field and Wade is part of six women who placed in the top six at the Trials in the heptathlon.
Along with Clay, the reigning Olympic champion and 2004 Olympic silver medalist, the men's decathlon Team USA roster also features Gray Horn and Joe Detmer, who placed third and fourth, respectively, at the Olympic Trials. Horn placed third with a personal best score of 7,954, but did not have the standard to qualify for the Olympic Games. Also on the men's roster is Ryan Harlan, who placed sixth at the Olympic Trials and Isaac Murphy, who finished 10th.
Along with winning Thorpe Cup titles in 2010 and 2011, Wade placed fourth at the Olympic Trials and joins Trials fifth place finisher Barbara Nwaba on the Thorpe Cup roster. Additionally, Ryann Krais (7th), Lindsey Lettow (8th), Heather Miller (9th) and Aisha Adams (10th) all also picked up top ten finishes at the Olympic Trials.
Overall Team USA holds a 13-5 advantage in the past 18 Thorpe Cup decathlon competitions, but Germany has claimed victory each of the past two years. The heptathlon series remains tied at three apiece with Team USA winning the past two years. The 2011 edition of the Thorpe Cup was held as the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif.
The competition comes on the heels of historical American performances in the decathlon this season. Ashton Eaton established the world record of 9,039 in winning the event at the Olympic Trials while Gunnar Nixon recently set the American junior record of 8,018 and won the first ever decathlon gold medal at the World Junior Championships for Team USA.
A complete Team USA roster is shown below and more information on the meet can be found here.

Grain-Free Pumpkin Granola Recipe
Grain-Free Pumpkin Granola is coming at ya just in time for fall! I'm so flippin' excited because this recipe is totally customizable to make a sweet or savory version depending on your taste buds. I'll admit…I'm a bit of a granola snob. So many brands are either loaded with grains, have a boatload of sugar, or contain low-quality vegetable oils. That's why I love making my own here at home. It's really simple to make, you can customize it to suit your taste buds, and you get to kick it up with awesome ingredients. Let's talk about this Grain-Free Pumpkin Granola. I've used a fresh assortment of raw nuts and coconut as the base, then totally went two different ways: sweet and savory. The sweet variety smells exactly like fall. It's got warm pumpkin pie spice, plump golden raisins, a touch of maple syrup and my secret ingredient, Vital Proteins Vanilla Collagen Peptides for a boost of protein. Grain-free granolas can be heavy on the fats and carbs, so adding Vital Proteins collagen protein balances out the macronutrients. And the savory grain-free pumpkin granola…OMG. It tastes just like Thanksgiving stuffing. It's got the same nut and coconut base, and then I add pepitas, aromatic rosemary, and dried minced onion. Then I toss in the other secret ingredient, Vital Proteins Organic, Free-Range Chicken Bone Broth Collagen. When I tested these recipes, my husband Z could not believe how good the savory...

John Singh needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 33 designs submitted by 10 freelance designers.
We want a modern design for a Chair manufacturer company who sells both gaming stools and office (corporate) chairs.
We already have the website for Gaming Stools and hence would only need an upliftment of the site to make it look fresh and glittery. Another module will be added to this website which will sell office chairs and hence it needs to have a similar look and feel but needs to have a corporate touch.
The users of the site will be mostly businesses who are interested in buying office chairs for their offices or gaming stools for casinos.
There will be a master Homepage where the users can select the product as Office chairs or Gaming Stools and can enter a product specific module.
We would need the new design for the homepage for Office chairs and a redesign for the Gaming Stools Homepage. The top navigation in both are almost same which is shown below:
Homepage, About Us, Products, Contact Us, Login.
This is the link to the current Gaming Stools Site which needs to be redesigned to give an upliftment in the design:
We are also providing some wire-frames for the Office chair module so as to give a clear understanding of the layout of the pages. The pages included as wire-frames are:
Product Details Page and Checkout Page
We would also need initially the design for the Office Chair homepage and the redesign of the Gaming Stools Homepage.
Some of the reference sites for the design are:

Journey of a cancer sample: A first glimpse
Last week, I visited research associate Clint Chalk in the laboratory of Broad's Biological Samples Platform (BSP). Clint had just received a collection of tumor tissue samples from patients with lung cancer, which arrived in small, circular containers called cassettes. (Most of the time, samples are shipped to the Broad in pre-barcoded vials so these samples were a little unusual.) Clint slid the edge of a forceps under the cassette's lid to pop it open and reveal a piece of pink tissue within, about the size of a pencil eraser. I'm not sure what I was expecting to see inside the container – maybe I had thought there would be microscopic threads of DNA, invisible to the naked eye, or cells dissolved in an amorphous liquid, anonymous and impassive. But seeing this sample, a real piece of tissue from a real human being, was deeply moving. It made me think about the patients who donate the samples Clint receives, and the patients who are waiting for discoveries to be made and translated, one day, into better treatments.
BSP receives a variety of cancer samples throughout the year. Ultimately, researchers want to look across the genome of these cancer samples for clues about cancer's root cause, how it thrives and spreads, and how to stop it. But long before a cancer genome is analyzed, researchers in several Broad platforms collect and track information about these tissues and carefully prepare selected samples for sequencing. In the coming weeks, I plan to follow a sample as it journeys through BSP, the Genetic Analysis Platform, and the Genome Sequencing Platform and share the experience here on the blog (you can watch a video of Clint below).
Clint's role today is to create an "H&E slide" for each of the samples. In this kind of slide, the tissue is stained with hematoxylin and eosin dyes that reveal the tissue's cellular structure when viewed beneath a microscope. A pathologist can then examine the slide and determine how many cancer cells are present and confirm that the sample is indeed from a person with lung cancer.
Before he begins work, Clint dons goggles and a mismatched pair of gloves, one purple and one black; one glove gives him the dexterity he needs to slice and mount a sliver of sample while the other protects his fingers from the blade. He gently places the lung tissue sample on a disc covered in glue. He lines up the blade of the cryostat, a laboratory machine that can deftly slice delicate pieces of tissue, and uses it to shave off 5-micrometer-thick slivers (a single human hair can be 100 micrometers thick).
Clint places this slip of a sample on a microscope slide, which he then dips in the hematoxylin and eosin, chemicals that stain the nuclei, cytoplasm, and other components of the cells. He repeats the process for the dozens of samples that have come in. In the end, Clint lays out rows of microscope slides, dotted with pinks and blues from the cellular stains. Once they dry, the slides are ready for BSP's consultant pathologist to view. I'll have to come back another day to see this next step.
In the meantime, Clint offers me a sneak peek at the cells – we place one of the dried slides under the microscope and peer at the results. I'm not sure what the swirls and clusters of cells mean – maybe I will find out on my next visit to BSP. For now, all I can see in the specimen from some generous patient with lung cancer, anonymous to me, is an eerie whorl of color, abstract and mysterious.

Timothy J. McEvoy
- Lecturer
Timothy J. McEvoy is a barrister in Melbourne, Australia. After graduating from the University of Melbourne in Law in 1993, McEvoy clerked for the Chief Justice of the Federal Court of Australia, and spent time with the Brussels office of Oppenheimer Wolff & Donnelly. In 1995 he joined the commercial litigation section of Freehill Hollingdale & Page, one of Australia's largest law firms. He began the LL.M. program at the University of Virginia School of Law in 1997, and was awarded an S.J.D. in May 1999. His dissertation dealt with provisional and protective measures in international litigation and their recognition and enforcement in private international law.
In 1998 McEvoy was appointed by the Australian Attorney-General's Department to the Australian Delegation of Experts to the Special Commission of the Hague Conference on Private International Law. The Special Commission was charged with drafting the proposed Hague convention on jurisdiction and foreign judgments in civil and commercial matters. While at the Law School in 1997 and 1998, McEvoy assisted the Permanent Bureau of the Hague Conference with a comparative study of provisional and protective measures.
McEvoy also practices in the fields of general commercial litigation, administrative law and antitrust law. He is a member of the Victorian Bar and is also admitted to practice in New South Wales and the High Court of Australia. In March 2011 he was awarded a Fulbright Professional Scholarship in Australia-U.S. Alliance Studies sponsored by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to examine closer legal cooperation between the U.S. and Australia.
McEvoy will be in office during the Spring 2019 semester from April 1 to April 11.

The Miami-Dade Commission has introduced an ordinance to reduce the number of pool electrocutions after reports of four children shocked in pools earlier this year. The regulations would require new private pools to use low-voltage lighting systems under water, already a requirement at commercial pools. Commissioner Audrey Edmonson sponsored the rule change on the heels of a CBS 4 report on electrical safety following 7-year-old Calder Sloan's April 13 death and after a string of non-fatal incidents where people were shocked in local pools, the Miami Herald reported.
The CBS station's report said that many Florida counties may copy Miami-Dade's action, in which the commission is essentially making an addition to the Florida Building Code, much like it did following Hurricane Andrew.
The Miami-Herald quoted Michael Goolsby, director of the county's code division, as saying that the lower-voltage lights required at public pools are not strong enough to kill during a malfunction. "The electrical shock you would get would not be fatal,'' he said. "It might hurt, but you would not get paralyzed." The lower-voltage systems, which he said are now the industry standard, would be required if the owner of a private pool sought permits to replace an existing high-volt light system. High-wattage pool lighting systems typically accommodate 120-V connections, rather than the 15-V connections that are common at public pools.
The reports of shocks also lead North Miami Beach's city manager, Ana Garcia, to close two pools after inspectors found major issues with the electrical systems. When Garcia heard about the recent cases, she ordered a top to bottom inspection of the city's pools, according to CBS Miami. Inspectors found electrical boxes in various states of decay and several wires corroding.

Tod Lindberg wonders whether a Hillary Clinton candidacy would "clear the field" of serious Democratic alternatives in the 2016 presidential race. He doubts that it would, and so do I.
For one thing, Clinton, eight years older than in 2008 and a loser that year, possesses less of an aura of invincibility than she did when she failed to clear the field the last time. For another, potential challengers have reason to doubt that the Party's powerful left wing is sold on Clinton. Maybe it is, but there likely will be at least one Democrat of stature or political ability who is ambitious enough to put this to a test, as Barack Obama did.
Then there is Benghazi. The culpability of Clinton and her State Department in that tragedy is well-known but underappreciated.
For me, the intriguing question is whether a Democrat will feel he or she can get mileage from Clinton's scandalous Benghazi-related conduct — which includes post-incident actions — with the kind of folks who vote in Democratic primaries and caucuses. And, assuming that this issue holds promise, would a potential challenger to Clinton be willing to play the spoiler by taking a line of attack that might alienate both women and leftists?
Maybe Joe Biden, who knows where the bodies are buried, will believe he has enough credibility with the left to raise Benghazi as an issue against Clinton. But this would be a tricky proposition, to say the least.
So maybe Benghazi won't induce Democrats to challenge Clinton. But we shouldn't conclude at this stage that other inducements will prove inadequate.

Press release 243/2013
Finland was elected as member of the Unesco World Heritage Committee at the election held in Paris on 19 November. The election was attended by the State Parties to the World Heritage Convention, a total of 190 countries. 12 members were elected to the committee, and they are Philippines, Jamaica, Kazakhstan, South Korea, Croatia, Lebanon, Peru, Portugal, Poland, Finland, Turkey and Vietnam. Finland's term of office as the member of the committee is four years.
Finland announced its candidature in December 2012 and has been campaigning actively for the membership ever since. "I am very glad that our efforts brought such good results. The election of the World Heritage Committee is one of the most highly esteemed elections within the UN system where also the competition for the seats is among the fiercest. About half of the candidates were elected. I want to thank the Ministry of Education and Culture and the Ministry of the Environment for excellent cooperation in the promotion of Finnish candidature. The personal contribution of Minister of Culture and Sport Paavo Arhinmäki in particular has been significant," says Foreign Minister Erkki Tuomioja.
In the future, Finland's representatives in the Unesco World Heritage Committee are Juhani Kostet, Director General of the National Board of Antiquities, and Rauno Väisänen, Director of Natural Heritage Services at Metsähallitus. The Ministry for Foreign Affairs will also participate in the committee work.
One of the main tasks of the World Heritage Committee is to decide which new cultural and natural properties are inscribed on the World Heritage List each year and to monitor the state of the World Heritage Sites. There are currently approximately 1,000 properties on the list, and some 25 new sites are entered each year. These decisions are a target of great attention, because, for example, the World Heritage Site status has great influence for promotion of tourism. Finland has seven World Heritage Sites.

Los Angeles, Calif. - The UC Santa Barbara baseball team carried the momemtum from Friday's extra inning victory into Saturday's contest, defeating Loyola Marymount, 14-8. The Gaucho hitters rocked LMU starting pitcher Josh Muecke for eight runs, including a grand slam by outfielder Matt Wilkerson and a solo home run by catcher Chad Ziemendorf.
Eric Posthumus (1-2) picked up his first win of the season allowing four runs and striking out three in five innings of work. Muecke (1-1) was credited with the loss for Loyola Marymount.
LMU wasted no time, scoring three runs in the bottom of the first inning. Back-to-back hits to start the game put two runners in scoring position with no outs. Those runs would come home after a wild pitch and a balk by UCSB starter Eric Posthumus. The Lions added another run on an RBI triple by second baseman Sean Smith, making the score, 3-0.
The Lions three-run lead did not last for long as Wilkerson and Ziemendorf would both homer in the top of the thrid inning. Josh Fulton singled, Gabe Mann reached on an error and Nate Sutton walked to load the bases for the right-handed hitting Wilkerson. On a 3-1 count, Wilkerson blasted a Josh Muecke fastball over the 365 ft. sign in left-center field, giving the Gauchos the lead, 4-3. With two outs, Ziemendorf added a towering solo home run that cleared the 37 ft. wall in left field.
After being retired in order in the fourth inning, UCSB would rally in the top of the fifth. Sutton, Wilkerson, and Rodriguez all reached base safely to load the bases again for UCSB. Relief pitcher Stephen Kahn hit Ziemendorf forcing in Sutton from thrid base. First baseman Bill Rowe then delivered a two run double down the left field. Ziemendorf later scored on an infield single by Gabe Mann, increasing the Gauchos lead, 9-4.
The Lions would score four more runs in the game, but UCSB would counter with five of their own, as they defeated LMU, 14-8.
The win improves the Gauchos record to 11-9, the loss drops the Lions to 9-7. The victory also gives the Gauchos their third consecutive series win.
Matt Wilkerson led the Gaucho's offensive attack going 3-for-6 with four RBI.
UC Santa Barbara has pounded out 30 hits and 20 runs in the first two games of this three-game series. Sutton is 6-for-10 with two runs and one RBI in the series. Rowe has gone 5-for-9 with 3 RBI and two doubles.
The Gauchos conclude their three-game series with Loyola Marymount at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday. UCSB returns to Caesar Uyesaka Stadium next weekend against UC Riverside, before heading to Corvallis, OR during spring break for a three-game series with the Beavers of Oregon State.

Immanuel is an African-American community on Highway 33 between Almyra and Casscoe with a rich history of generations of families and a school.
Bringing history awareness and preserving history in the community is the mission of the Grand Prairie Historical Society, which will hold its first meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Immanuel Community Center at Immanuel.
Immanuel is an African-American community on Highway 33 between Almyra and Casscoe with a rich history of generations of families and a school.
Among the history of Immanuel is the Immanuel Industrial Institute, which was founded for African-American students, in a once thriving community nestled in between these rural communities.
"The churches in the community saw a need for a school and set forth in motion the existence of the Immanuel Industrial Institute," Gracie Jemerson, committee member of "Friends of Immanuel," said.
Jemerson said the legacy of Immanuel Industrial Institute is that everyone who is involved in the project of preserving all of the documents concerning the school is related to one another.
"It is important to preserve this history at least for the younger generations to be aware of the Immanuel Industrial Institute," Jemerson said.
Rev. P.A. Garrison was the first principal at Immanuel Industrial Institute, which provided education both in the elementary grades as well as in high school.
"It is important to maintain the legacy of Immanuel and the Immanuel Industrial Institute," Gena Seidenschwarz, secretary of the Grand Prairie Historical Society, said.
Jemerson will present a video of the 1962 and 1964 classes of Immanuel High School, which will also include a number of the buildings used in the past as well as in the film of the graduation classes.
Janice Streeter, an alumni of Immanuel High School, will also present a slide show of Immanuel High School.
For more information on the society and the program contact Jemerson at (870) 673-4201 or Seidenschwarz at (870) 673-7001.

Former Catholic News Service director Tom Lorsung might have retired in 2003, but he still is using photographic and writing skills honed in more than 30 years at the news service.
Lorsung's latest product: a 2010 color calendar, featuring shots from Maryland's Eastern Shore, where he has a home.
Lorsung, who began work at CNS in 1972 as photo editor, has always had an interest in photography, and many of his framed photos remain on the walls at CNS. The calendar includes photographs taken at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge or near his home at Cooks Point Cove, where the Choptank River meets the Chesapeake Bay.

Randy Houser's Bus Catches On Fire [VIDEO]
Randy Houser's bus caught on fire Wednesday as Randy and his crew were preparing for a show in Isle of Palms, SC.
The crew noticed flames shooting from the back suite of the bus about 12:40 p.m., and while everyone made it off the bus safely, all of Houser's gear and personal belongings were lost.
"Fire is out," Houser said via text message. "Lost all my clothes. I'm pretty sad, but so thankful we all got off safely. That fire burned all through our home on wheels."
The cause of the fire is unknown, and the show happened on schedule.

Seth MacFarlane just got a little more awesome. The "Family Guy" creator was majorly dissed outside Crown Bar last week by a cocky doorman. But instead of whining about his experience, he took the classy route and sent three bouquets totaling $5,000 to the bar last night.
Seth signed a $100 mil deal with Fox earlier this year, and can pretty much buy Crown Bar -- and all the lame employees in it.

I have been writing over a month Wilmer Flores should be the Opening Day shortstop. Speaking to reporters at the Winter Meetings in San Diego, GM Sandy Alderson all but confirmed it.
"I'd say where we are today, that's the likelihood. But that doesn't mean it'll happen,'' Alderson said. "But if you look around at all the possibilities, is it more likely than not? Probably.''
To that, I say it is about time.
Alderson began his regime promising a more open dialogue, but what we've been getting have been smokescreens and diversions. Let's face it, Troy Tulowitzki was too absurd to consider, and Jed Lowrie and Stephen Drew aren't worth considering.
Alderson mentioned the possibility of January. If you're going to wait that long, what does it say about the Mets' level of confidence in these players? It says they don't have much, if any.
It also screams cheapness and indecisiveness.
By the way, if the Mets are rebuilding as they say, you don't do it by filling such a key position as shortstop with rejects. And, before you say you don't build with guys like Flores, either, save it because we don't know about him.
You build with your own players before you look outside.
All of this speaks little of the Mets' faith in Flores. All this talk of trying to replace him can't help his self-esteem. What the Mets are doing with Flores is the same thing they did with Ike Davis and that's a shame.
The Mets constant negativity directed at Davis made it impossible for him to function here. I am afraid they are doing the same with Flores.
Why won't they learn?
ON DECK: Do Mets really have pitching depth to trade?

Teldio's Alarm Control System (ACS) is a software-based application that intelligently dispatches emergency and business-critical alarms, work tickets and notifications. Integrating into building management, machinery, job ticketing software and third-party network systems, ACS monitors for alarms around the clock.
ACS ensures that alarm management and notification process is automatic, efficient and reliable by dispatching notifications to the right person based on the time of day, location and competency necessary to respond to the task. The closed loop system pushes alarms to the next suitable person until they are acknowledged, resolved and closed. By doing so, response times to alarms and emergency events are significantly reduced, workplace efficiency improves and accountability is enhanced.
ACS filters and transmits alarm notifications via email and text message, as well as text and audio notifications to MOTOTRBO™ radios, Android devices and mobile phones.

The c-Bridge provides for a variety of enhancements to single-repeater or IP Site Connect systems. It allows the 15-repeater limit of IP Site Connect to be exceeded, whereby systems can consist of hundreds of repeaters and it can be used to increase the number of satellite receivers that can be installed in an IP Site Connect system with receiver voting. It can also provide interoperability between single repeaters or IP Site Connect systems and non-MOTOTRBO systems, such as analog or P25 systems as well as providing a connection between single repeaters or IP Site Connect systems and older analog dispatch console systems.
Very flexible 'call routing' allows for dynamic bridging between different repeaters and time slots. When used with the PC Voice Dispatch application, the c-Bridge can operate as a gateway for voice communications over an IP network connection into a single MOTOTRBO repeater or an IP Site Connect system. Built-in IP network diagnostics provide an excellent troubleshooting tool for finding problems in the IP networks between repeaters in IP Site Connect systems.

They have drinks, talk politics and sing about the history of assassination attempts on Republicans from Abe Lincoln and Senator Charles Sumner, through McKinley, Garfield, Roosevelt, Ford and Reagan. They sometimes sing about "Poor People In Coach" and other times wonder who really ended slavery, Lincoln the Republican or Democrat Lyndon Banes Johnson?
Songs are influenced by music style including the Ramones in a punk anthem also inspired by Walt Whitman "Oi, Captain! My Captain"; Sex Pistols inspired "It's A New Century,Republicans"; Hendrix inspired "Love Republicans"; Hardcore Thrash Metal inspired "That's When We Googled Garfield"; SonicYouth inspired "We Must Be Suffering Jetlag"; and Johnny Cash inspired "The Ballad of Teddy Roosevelt"

How classes are offered; the parts or modules of a course that work together to define the entire structure of a course; each course is composed of one or more components.
NOTE: There are additional components in CheckMarq than what are listed below. These are for the Office of the Registrar use only. You should not have to change any components in your SOC building; however, if you find one that needs to be added or changed, please use only the components below.
|Course component
|Advanced research
|Research experience in experimental design and analysis of a selected project with faculty guidance and supervision.
A course that integrates content from several sources or courses and is designed to bring reflection and focus to the entire undergraduate/graduate or professional experience, requiring disciplined use of skills, methodology and knowledge learned throughout the curriculum of a specific major, and usually culminating in a research paper or project. Example includes a course taken the last two semesters whereby students research particular themes relevant to the major and synthesize those themes into the skills and knowledge learned throughout the undergraduate career.
|A credit-bearing course that occurs outside the institutional setting (or in an actual clinical laboratory setting) under institutional supervision (usually faculty). It provides practical real-world application of classroom-studied medical- or health care-related theories and may involve work with clients who receive professional services from students. Examples include an eight-week surgical or emergency room rotation that allows students to function as an assistant where they can practice and develop skills learned in the classroom.
A more interactive and typically smaller course forum than a lecture concentrating on various topics within a broad field of study; content may include student presentations and discussions based on literature, theory, problems or research. Enrollment is generally limited to allow for greater focus on students' critical reflection and exchange of ideas. Lecture is not the dominant pedagogical activity of the course; courses of this type are typically led by a different instructor each class session who is an expert on the topic being discussed for that session. Examples include a course that may explore a variety of ethical issues in a particular field, such as medicine or science. Each issue explored would be led by an expert in that particular issue being discussed.
|Cooperative education
A credit-bearing structured field experience that integrates classroom study and work experience; cooperative education requires a formal partnership be established between an employer and a faculty person or college where monitor the work and experiences of the student and often the student is not registered for any other courses during this time. Examples include engineering students who work/learn in an engineering firm for an entire semester where they can put into practice what they have learned in the classroom and where the grade for the class is determined by the firm's evaluation of the student and the academic work relating to the coop experience required by the college when the student returns to the university.
A section of a larger course, designed solely for group discussion. Discussions are typically non-credit bearing and linked to a credit-bearing course (i.e., are not stand alone courses). As such, discussion sections generally contain fewer students than the course to which they are linked. Examples include a mandatory zero-credit discussion section linked to an introductory psychology classroom-based course.
A course where students work with an instructor to create a performance as a group. Section size may vary based on requirements of the performance. Examples include concert choir or marching band.
|Independent study/research
A course where students complete individualized and often self-paced plans of study or research that is more in-depth than what is offered within the curriculum and independent of the classroom setting. The instructor and students negotiate the details of the plan of study. Independent study/research courses generally have no officially scheduled regular meeting days and times and are typically offered only to upper classmen or post-baccalaureate students.
Credit-bearing course that offers field experience and provides students with externally supervised practical real-world training in a setting consistent with a student's education goals; courses are designed to give students supervised and practical application of previously studied theory in a setting outside the classroom, but not necessarily one that is strictly clinical or medical in nature (which would be CLN). Unlike practica, a student enrolled in an internship or externship may be paid for the educational experience. Examples include business students who might work in a marketing firm or a law student who might work for a judge for a semester while continuing with other course work.
|A laboratory experience provides students with the opportunity to apply methods and principles learned in an associated lecture-based section taken in the same term. It meets in a controlled environment requiring specialized equipment and/or facilities and the primary emphasis is often learning by doing.
|Laboratory Only
|A laboratory experience that may or may not be offered for credit and is not associated with a lecture in the term in which the lab is taken. Its purpose is to provide students with the opportunity to apply methods and principles of a discipline in a controlled environment requiring specialized equipment and/or facilities. The primary emphasis of such courses is often learning by doing.
Standard non-variable/fixed-credit course where instruction occurs in a traditional classroom setting; lectures almost always have larger class sizes than seminar; lecture courses may certainly include a variety of pedagogies (discussion, class presentation) but are predominantly lecture oriented. If a course is more discussion or non-lecture dominated, then seminar may be a more applicable course component.
|Credit-bearing courses designed to give students supervised and practical application of previously studied theory in a setting outside the classroom but not necessarily one that is strictly clinical or medical in nature (which would be CLN). Unlike internships or externships, students enrolled in a practicum are not paid for the educational experience. Examples include a public service major who volunteers his/her time in a nonprofit agency in order to practice skills learned in the classroom.
A course that involves the creation of a specific hands-on project designed to allow students to synthesize thoughts about their learning experiences within the curriculum of their major or degree. Examples include a course where senior engineering students design, prototype, test and document concepts incorporating relevant engineering course work and present their design at the final class or a course where teams of advertising students design an entire advertising campaign that incorporates concepts and skills learned in all of their major courses.
|A regularly scheduled section of a larger course, designed solely for the purpose of taking quizzes throughout the term. Quiz sections are typically non-credit bearing and linked to a credit-bearing course (i.e., are not standalone courses). Examples include a mandatory zero-credit quiz section associated with an introductory physics course.
|Seminar/supervised reading
A more interactive and smaller course forum than a lecture concentrating on a more narrow field of study than a colloquium; content may include student presentations and discussions based on literature, theory, problems or research. Enrollment is generally limited to allow for greater focus on students' critical reflection and exchange of ideas. Lecture is not the dominant pedagogical activity of the course; typically courses of this type are led by the same instructor who is an expert in the field being studied. Examples include a course with limited enrollment and highly qualified math majors who spend a semester studying and discussing math concepts as they relate to testing and measurements.
|Senior thesis
A long-term independent research course (usually an academic year or more in length) that is the culmination of a degree program and that allows students to deepen their understanding of a specific issue, while drawing together knowledge from several disciplines; requires a formal research proposal, as well as enlisting faculty advisers and mentors and usually culminates in an oral presentation followed by a question and answer session from the audience and attending faculty.
|Simulated skills
|A course in which students work in teams under the direction of a professor to practice skills that are needed for the workplace. Skills such as developing and discussing annual performance appraisals with employees, negotiating a contract, arguing a case in court, etc.
Courses that involve demonstration and application of design and theory in a defined physical setting (i.e., studio); students explore and experiment under guidance of an instructor, and the class size is usually limited by setting parameters (e.g., No. of computers, drafting tables, etc.). Courses typically focus on the development or creation of artistically static work or the mastery of an art form itself.
|Study away, domestic: exchange
|Courses taught at other U.S. institutions where, as per an agreement between the two institutions, students register for Marquette credit and pay tuition at Marquette.
|Study abroad, international: Marquette
|Courses that are taught at an international location to Marquette students and by Marquette faculty.
|Thesis research
A formal treatise presenting the results of study submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of an advanced degree. The process requires intensive interaction between the student candidate, thesis adviser and supplemental committee members. Undergraduate senior theses are not THE (see SEN).
|Topics In
|Courses that cover a unique perspective or in-depth topic in the major whose subject matters are not routinely offered in the courses approved for the curriculum. Examples include a course offered for only one semester to take advantage of a guest lecturer or visiting faculty member who has a particular expertise in a field of study.
|Special Topics
|A course offered in consultation with the Office of the Registrar as an experimental course in order to evaluate and determine if a course should be incorporated into the regular curriculum of a program. This component can also be used for courses that are in the curriculum approval pipeline but are not officially approved for the term in which the college/school/department wishes to offer the course and therefore do not yet appear in the appropriate Bulletin. Once the same course has been offered twice as a Special Topics, it cannot be offered again until it moves through the curriculum approval process and is approved with a regular curriculum course number. This course component may not be used for a single student studying a particular subject matter. Examples include an upper-division course on a given topic that may become part of the standard curriculum of the department; please review with the Office of the Registrar before scheduling any such courses.
Workshops may have irregular beginning and/or end dates (especially at graduate levels). In general, specific hours of actual work (dance, writing, performance, etc.) will need to be completed, work is then evaluated by the instructor and other students, and then work is appropriately revised in order to earn course credit. Workshops provide a creative forum for interactive learning between faculty and all enrolled students. Oftentimes, guest artists or experts may serve as instructors.

"Most of my career is based on the fact that I went out for ice cream one night," my writer friend Megan tells me.
This makes total sense to me.
Over the past week, my two most significant work leads both popped up serendipitously while I was taking much-needed breaks from the slog of job hunting.
In the first case, I was seeing a movie with a friend (the excellent "Margin Call," in case you care). We'd just settled into our seats when I espied two familiar faces, my former neighbors Lou and J.R., whom I'd last seen a decade back.
In the course of a brief friendly chat, I learned that Lou now chairs the board of our local employment board, the regional policy-making authority in developing workforce skills. We quickly exchanged contact info—yes, I'm on Facebook, too—before the lights went down.
The next day I had a Facebook message from Lou with one concrete job lead and offers of further help.
And that's not all.
As it happens I was in the midst of struggling to launch this blog, and as it further happens, Lou is a total computer genius. In the course of Facebook and Twitter exchanges, followed by a couple of hours at a local café, he pretty much answered all of my urgent technical questions. (If you're thinking this blog looks way better than it did a week ago, you have Lou to thank.)
In the second case, I was hanging out with new friends at a weekly coffee klatsch. (I've taken to calling our group The Coven, but that's another story.) I'd briefly considered skipping this week since I had loads to do, but I do love coffee and I love these friends, so in the end I went.
Good thing, too.
"So what sort of job are you looking for," Ellen inquired. "Because I have a friend who works at a non-profit that might be looking for a writer." Within a day, she'd put me in touch, and I'd sent off my resume.
My friend Megan's story is more of the same: Out with her family at Herrell's, our most excellent local purveyor of ice cream, she bumped into a woman who'd hired her four years earlier. "Would you like to do a small project?" her former employer asked, after they'd caught up. That single chance meeting led to six years of steady freelance work.
So what are the lessons here?
Sometimes the best way to pursue your goals is to stop pursuing them. This isn't to say that standard job search strategies don't have their place. It is to say that they aren't necessarily going to be the ones that work. That's especially true today, when personal connections matter more than ever in a world where, at last count, there were seven unemployed workers for every job opening.
It's easy to feel guilty for taking a break when you're looking for work—especially as the days roll by and the pressures mount. You need to remember that job leads can pop up in the most surprising of places.
Plus everyone needs a break: You can't just live your job search. You also must live your life. And sometimes the best way to do both may be to go out for ice cream.
Note: The featured players in this post also have blogs of their own. On the job search front, Lou Franco's Software Business Blog recently offered excellent advice to software developers looking for work. And for amusing musings on life in our beloved Northampton, check out Megan Rubiner Zinn's Life in the Little City. (I especially loved her recent post There are a Million Viruses in the Little City.)
