The Superintendent of Financial Services Benjamin Lawsky, who is now being referred to as the "rogue regulator", has certainly put his regulatory agency and himself on the map. Earlier this week, little known/newly formed regulator the New York Department of Financial Services released bombshell allegations that Standard Chartered helped facilitate hundreds of billions of dollars worth of transactions for Iran, which is currently under sanctions by the U.S. What's more is the bank, whose stock price has been hammered, could also lose its banking licence in the state.
On top of all that, his agency's actions have reportedly ticked off the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury for going around them.
In addition, Lawsky also infuriated a bunch of U.K. politicians who said that the U.S. regulators are "anti-British."
We wanted to find out more about Lawsky and the one thing that really stands out to us is that he's a former federal prosecutor, which probably explains his aggression.
Here's everything else we learned, including some fun facts.
- Lawsky was unanimously confirmed as the Superintendent of Financial Services in May of 2011. He is the first to lead the New York State Department of Financial Services, which debuted in October of 2011.
- In this role, he leads a state agency overseeing 4400 banks, insurers, etc. with assets of about $6.2 trillion, according to his bio.
- He's tight with Governor Andrew Cuomo and U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, according a Wall Street Journal article from October 2011.
- From Jan. 2011 to May 2011, Lawsky served as Chief of Staff for Governor Andrew Cuomo, State of New York. Prior to that, he was a Special Assistant to the Attorney General at The Office of the New York Attorney General from 2007 to 2010, according to his LinkedIn.
- In the fall of 2010, he was the subject of a Wall Street Journal article called "Breathe a Sigh of Relief, Wall Street: Cuomo's Top Prosecutor Defects to Campaign." That's because he was tough on former BofA CEO Ken Lewis and Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain for refusing to turn over information about their bonuses, the article said.
- He also spent five years as an Assistant United States Attorney in the Southern District of New York prosecuting insider trading and terrorism cases, his bio said.
- He went to Columbia where he graduated cum laude. He initially wanted to be an architect and then switched his major to art history. However, he ultimately decided that he was interested in law, according to Politicker.
- After he graduated from Columbia University School of Law in 1995, he clerked for federal judges Carol Bagley and Dennis Jacobs.
- He's married to an attorney named Jessica Roth.
- He was born on a Navy base in San Diego.
- He has a twin sister.
- He grew up in Pittsburgh and is huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan, according to the WSJ.
- He played basketball in high school and was his team's point guard.
- He also competed in the New York City Marathon in 2008 and finished with a time of 4:10:59.

The man who put the "Great" in Great Britain owned a Land Rover toward the end of his long life, and it's going up for auction in October. This one's got a few modifications, as this Brit was great indeed, especially around the waist.
By the time Churchill received this one-of-a-kind Land Rover — as a gift for his 80th birthday, in 1954 — he needed an extra wide passenger seat in the chauffeur-driven truck, to accommodate an ass that seemed to have absorbed most of the territory the British Empire had lost over the previous few decades.
The eight-inch-wide jumpseat between the chauffeur's seat and the commodious Churchill chair was converted into an arm rest, and a leather strap affixed to the metal dash so that the British Bulldog could hoist himself aboard for cruises around Chartwell, his 300-acre estate in Kent. Someone thoughtfully put in a little heater, too, so that Churchill, who had once served as an infantry officer in hot, dry places like Egypt and the Sudan, could enjoy another escape from England's soggy, sometimes chilly climate.
Churchill's Land Rover only had a handful of other owners after his death in 1965, and still has less than 13,000 miles on the odometer. The truck has, not surprisingly, never been owned by an American, which is just as well considering the former PM's words about us:
You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.
Wow, sounds like Clarkson. I hope a yank buys it this time.

Since March 1997, the Casablanca stock exchange functions under a new electronic quotation system, where all transactions are first to pass through the "Central Market."
The bourse's negotiation system is therefore a centralized one governed by orders and controlled by the organization of the stock market. In certain cases, large institutional investors must trade via the "Marché de Blocs" due to a lack of demand for and the inability of large trading volumes to be transacted through the Central Market.
The Casablanca stock exchange functions under three trading sessions:
The "pre-opening stage" is where orders are accumulated in the trading books, without any form of transaction intervention. Trading in the first stage is sparse.
The second stage—known as the "opening stage"—is one where an electronic system calculates an equilibrium price, or "fixed price", for each stock according to the orders placed in the pre-opening stage. The second stage allows for greater trading volumes to take place.
The last stage known as the "continuing stage" is one where trading takes place in a continuous fashion. In this stage, all new placed orders can immediately trigger one or several additional transactions.

Gearheads aren't always the most social people, and that's given us a bad reputation over the years. We've been misrepresented and we want to clear our name.
First of all, we would just like to say that not all gearheads are streetracers. Just because there are some schmucks giving us a bad name doesn't mean we start revving our engine for a race whenever we see another cool car on the road.
What's the biggest misconception people have about you because you're a gearhead?

Few takers for DSCC chief job
There's a job opening on Capitol Hill. The position involves begging rich people for money, constant travel, unrealistic expectations and better-than-even odds of failure.
No wonder there are so few takers to head the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Story Continued Below
Democrats face another daunting electoral landscape in 2014, defending 20 seats to the Republicans' 13. It'll also be Barack Obama's second midterm election, which is historically a loser for the party that holds the White House.
Sen. Michael Bennet has been offered the job, but he hasn't accepted it. The other senators on the short list are running the other way.
One of them, Rhode Island's Sheldon Whitehouse, laughed off a suggestion he might be a good fit, instead offering up Missouri's Claire McCaskill and Montana's Jon Tester as possible co-chairs. But after surviving grueling campaigns this year, neither of them said they could stand picking up the phone anytime soon to ask donors for cash.
"Call time is dead to me," quipped McCaskill, who raised at least $16 million to defeat Republican Todd Akin and win a second term.
"If you've gone through what we've gone through, the notion of being right back in the warfare and trenches, it's just not very appealing," she added. "I'd like to do my job for a couple of years."
Other Democrats coming off Senate reelection victories, including Bob Casey of Pennsylvania and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, also said they had no interest in succeeding Washington Sen. Patty Murray as DSCC chair. To be successful in the role, you have to relish fundraising and be willing to devote long hours on the road, Casey said.
"I'm 0 for 2," he told POLITICO. "I don't enjoy it and I don't want to allocate that kind of time."
For the past week, Washington has been anxiously waiting to see if Bennet will take on the challenge. Appointed in 2009 and elected to a full six-year term in 2010, the low-key junior senator from Colorado turned down the DSCC chairmanship this past election cycle.
But POLITICO recently reported that Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) had once again approached Bennet, a former Denver public schools chief and Clinton Justice Department official who was tapped to succeed Sen. Ken Salazar in 2009 after Salazar became Interior secretary.
Bennet, who turns 48 on Wednesday, has declined to publicly discuss the offer, but the leadership post would certainly raise the ambitious pol's profile among national donors and the press. Sources said he is still waiting to see whether DSCC Executive Director Guy Cecil, Bennet's former chief of staff, plans to stick around for another election cycle, among more practical considerations like the huge time commitment.
Bennet is "still mulling" the offer, said a senior Democratic aide.
A veteran campaign operative, Cecil is credited with helping Senate Democrats pick up two seats in an election year in which many pundits expected the party to lose control of the majority. Democrats had to defend 23 seats, Republicans just 10.

Spring cleaning your closet can be a Herculean task. Not only is it a big job to take on, but it's hard to part with sentimental favorites (even if you haven't worn them in five years). And even if you work from home now, all those suits you spent a fortune on are difficult to just give away.
What if cleaning out your closet could not only de-clutter your living space, but help those in need? Do you think it would be easier to get rid of those too tight/too big/too old clothes taking up precious shelf space?
The good news is there are good homes waiting for your precious cargo. Here are some organizations that will make spring cleaning your closet easy and fun.
Not only can your spring cleaning benefit others, but new purchases can, too. Check out our list of retailers that give back to local and worldwide communities. Giving back is a great way to be a happier, more mindful you!
Donate Glasses
Donate used sunglasses and prescription glasses at any Sunglass Hut store when spring cleaning your closet. These will go to OneSight, an organization that will clean and refurbish your used eye wear and deliver it to one of their global eye care clinics. No Sunglass Hut near you? You can drop off your unwanted eyeglasses to a Lions Club donation box in your community or mail them to the headquarters.
Donate Your Old Shoes
Donate gently used shoes to ShareYourSoles.org and they will go to people around the world, some who have never owned a single pair. The organization has delivered more than 2 million pairs of shoes in the last 14 years. You can also bring donations to a Soles4Souls' Blue Bin near you.
Donate Winter Jackets
One Warm Coat will take those bulky, closet-hogging jackets off your hand. Most coat drives occur in fall and winter, so it may be tough to offload them in spring. Use One Warm Coat's agency locator to find a coat drive near you and contact them to see if they're still accepting donations.
Share Your Old Professional Attire
Find a location through the Alliance of Career Development Nonprofits or Dress for Success and donate your interview-appropriate clothing when spring cleaning your closet. Both organizations help families transition away from welfare and poverty. One of the ways they do this is by making sure they have access to professional attire so they can seek and maintain employment.
Donate Purses
Handbags of Hope fills purses with hairbrushes, wallets and manicure sets, then gives them to women and teens in shelter situations. You can also donate your gently used (still stylish) handbags to Change Purse. They resell donations and use the money to help victims and survivors of sex trafficking.
Donate Old Clothes
Instead of your clothes getting sent to a landfill, why not donate them? Several organizations gather donated clothes for adults and children in need, including Big Brother Big Sister, which stocks their resale stores with gently used items at a low price — and 100% of the sales benefit the charity. Vietnam Veterans of America also gathers and resells clothing at a low price to help American veterans and their families.
Use this weekend to get a good start spring cleaning your closet!

Kevin Grimes never expected to find money hanging from trees after enjoying a morning bike ride at Lake Balboa Park on Thursday.
Grimes, 30, of Van Nuys said he saw groups of people scouring the area and realized they were looking for money around the park from the now famous Bay Area benefactor known as @HiddenCash. He soon spotted $120 paper-clipped to the leaves of a tree — and $50 attached to another.
"This is a good guy. He's a blessing," Grimes said with a grin. "I'm unemployed right now. That's why the money came in perfect time."
In his second money-dropping trip to the greater Los Angeles area, formerly anonymous real-estate developer Jason Buzi launched a four-day scavenger hunt that will also take him to Orange County and the Inland Empire. Since May 22, Buzi has become a social-media phenomenon, by tweeting out hints and hiding envelopes and containers now totaling some $50,000 in major cities from San Francisco to San Diego to Las Vegas. His friends have helped make drops in other states well as in Mexico City, Madrid, London and Tel Aviv. In return, he urges finders to "pay it forward" when they can.
"I'm still having fun. I still have money left," Buzi, 43, said by phone Thursday. "The response has been so overwhelming and positive. It's hard to stop. It's almost addictive…There's so much joy and excitement around this."
But because of the tremendous amount of time and energy involved, Buzi said he could probably sustain it for a few more months until he will have to enter into a partnership with a commercial or another entity "that maintains the integrity" of the scavenger hunts or scale back the endeavor.
While several people reported locating $100 or less on Thursday, at least a couple of thrilled money seekers Thursday reported on Twitter finding as much as $360.
Buzi dropped the first detailed clue about 10 a.m. Thursday — a photo of a secured parking lot gate. "They locked the gate on me after I hid the $$$ here last night!" he tweeted. "Had to do some off-roading."
In his second clue, he tweeted, "Rocky would have liked this park. By the lake, in trees, under trees, near trees, holes. Side closer to foot bridge."
Brian D'Haem, 32, of Universal City indeed found a plastic box with $100 in cash on the side of the foot bridge. He wasn't sure what he was going to do with the money but said he wanted to take his girlfriend's father, who lives near the park, out to breakfast "to start."
D'Haem said it's hard to tell if @HiddenCash is doling out money for self-promotion or is actually doing a good deed, but "he's sharing his money with people in an interesting way, so it's a positive thing.
"If he's got money to spend and he wants to do it this way, more power to him," he added. "Part of the time, he's buying more Twitter followers — but who isn't buying Twitter followers these days?"
As of Thursday afternoon, the @HiddenCash Twitter account was being followed by nearly 700,000 people.
Kindergarten teacher Karen Williams, 34, of Encino was thrilled to find $70 in a plastic box in the L.A. dirt after coming up empty in San Diego last weekend searching for Pez containers stuffed with cash. When @HiddenCash tweeted out that money was stashed somewhere in the San Fernando Valley, she immediately thought of nearby Lake Balboa Park, also known as Anthony C. Beilenson Park.
"I definitely want to pay it forward," she said. "Probably give some back to my church, but I'm not sure yet. I'll do something great with it, though. It's definitely a nice surprise."
Tax professional Steven Kusnitz, 50, of Reseda found $70 in a box in a hole. He said he plans to spend part of it, but because paying it forward is "the whole suggestion of this," he will donate some.
Asked whether he'll be declaring the cash to the IRS, he responded, "It's found money. No. I'm not going to do anything with that."
One Twitter follower reported that a woman handed her little sister a box and then walked away. "Whoever it was thank you!!" @briana_surae tweeted.

Reality Check: What To Do With Leads With No Phone Numbers
Firstly, I want to thank the many of you who have emailed me and thanked me for my blog entries.
I try to only write things that I feel will help you become either a better real estate agent or broker. The Internet can be a huge money pit if you don't know how to use it properly.
Believe me; I have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars perfecting what we do here at Tropical Realty in Melbourne, Florida.
Now to my main point.
I have received this question several times over the past few weeks: "What do I do with all the leads I get that have no phone numbers?"
I figure I should probably set the record straight. Each time I get the question I cringe at the thought of these real estate agents throwing their money down the drain.
My immediate reaction is always, "What do you think you should do with them?" Of course I usually say that to myself so I don't hurt their feelings. Continue reading this post

Devoting Time to Your eBay Business
So you've decided to get serious about your sales at eBay. Now you have to step up to the plate and decide just how much time you have to devote to your eBay business.
When you set out to launch a business, any business, you need to set your priorities. A business at home requires definite priority setting. You must apply some level of discipline to anything that you want to make a success of; your eBay business requires this discipline, too.
According to legend, Pierre Omidyar started eBay to help fulfill his girlfriend's Pez dispenser habit. He started his Auction Web (as it was called then) with a laptop, a regular Internet Service Provider (ISP), and an old school desk. He and his buddy Jeff Skoll (a Stanford MBA) ran the 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week Auction Web all by themselves. When the site started attracting more traffic, Pierre finally had to install a server in his apartment. To pay for the server, Pierre and Jeff began charging 25 cents to list an auction. Pierre was so busy running the site that the envelopes full of checks began to pile up — he didn't even have time to open the mail.
When Pierre incorporated eBay Auction Web in 1996 with his partner Jeff, they were each drawing a salary of $25,000. Their first office consisted of one room, and they had one part-time employee to handle the payments. They started small and grew.
Now it's time to talk about budgeting your time and planning just how much time you will be able to devote to your eBay business. Your eBay business won't grow overnight, but with dedication and persistence, you may just form your own online empire.
Budgeting your time: eBay as a part-time money maker
A part-time eBay business can be very profitable. You can spend as little or as much time as you want at eBay, from a few hours a week to a full-time job. One thing to keep in mind is that the more time and energy you spend on your eBay business, the more money you can make. That said, take a look at the lowest possible level of time that you can devote to your business.
Maybe you enjoy finding miscellaneous items to sell at eBay. You find these items somehow in your day-to-day life. So you can figure that you spend at least a couple of hours (maybe three) a week at eBay. That's already in your schedule; now, you must figure in the time it takes to write up your auctions. If you're not selling the same thing every day, you need to allow approximately twenty minutes to write your auction, to take your picture or to scan your image, and of course, to upload it to a photo-hosting site.
How much time it takes to perform these tasks varies from person to person, and will improve according to your level of expertise. Regardless, every task in your eBay auction business takes time, and you must budget for that time.
Only you can decide how much time you want to spend researching going rates for items at eBay and deciding when your item will sell for the highest price. You can take great photos and write brilliant descriptions, but cashmere sweaters won't go for as much in the heat of summer as they do in winter. Doing your research can take up a good deal of time when you're selling a varied group of items.
You also have to consider how much time it takes to shop for your merchandise. You may have to travel to dealers, go to auctions, or spend time online discovering new ways to find your auction merchandise. Many sellers set aside a full day each week for this undertaking. Your merchandise is what makes you money, so don't skimp on the time you spend identifying products. The time you spend on this comes back to you in higher profits.
Here's a list of various activities that you must perform when doing business at eBay:
- Setting up and photographing items
- Cleaning up and resizing images in photo editor
- Uploading images to eBay Picture Services when you list or before listing to your ISP or third-party hosting service
- Weighing items and determining shipping costs
- Choosing auction titles with keywords
- Writing concise and creative descriptions
- Listing your auction at eBay
- Answering bidder questions
- Sending out end-of-auction e-mails
- Carrying out banking
- Performing bookkeeping
- Packing the items safely and securely
- Addressing labels and affixing postage
- Going to the post office
Take the time to perform each of the tasks; watch the clock and time yourself to see how long it takes you to accomplish each of them. The time varies when you list multiple items, so think of the figures that you come up with as your baseline, a minimum amount of time that you must set aside for these tasks. This information can help you decide how many hours in a month you need to devote to running your part-time eBay business.
Jumping in with both feet: Making eBay a full-time job
As you can see in the list in the previous section, the tasks required for your eBay business can be time consuming, but careful planning and scheduling can turn your business into an online empire. The best way to go full time at eBay is to first run your business part time for a while. In any business, ironing out the wrinkles takes time; an eBay business is no different.
After you become comfortable with eBay as a business, you're ready to make the transition to full-time seller. As a full-time seller at eBay, you'll probably become an eBay Power Seller. The minimum gross monthly sales for a Bronze level Power Seller is $2,000. If you plan your time efficiently, you can easily attain this goal.
Running a full-time business at eBay is the perfect option for the working mom who prefers staying at home with her children, a retiree looking for something to do, or someone who'd just rather do something else than work for his boss.

We have received a 17-page document written and signed by Herve Caen, summarizing Interplay's arguments in its battle with Bethesda over the rights to the Fallout franchise. Here's a summary of the most interesting points:
- Interplay has continuously sold Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics since their original release dates, as standalone products or in compilations such as Saga Fallout (since 2004), Fallout Trilogy and Fallout Collection (since at least 2005 or 2006).
- Under the 2007 Asset Purchase Agreement (APA), Interplay has retained perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide, and exclusive right to continue selling the Interplay-developed Fallout games (reffered to collectively as "Pre-existing Fallout games").
- The parties fully expected that new Fallout games by Bethesda would renew consumer interest in the pre-existing games and the perpetual rights to continue the sales thereof were a substantial part of the consideration Interplay was to receive in exchange for giving the rights to the franchise to Bethesda.
- Nothing in the APA requires Interplay to spend any particular amount of money to develop the Fallout MMOG, but rather Interplay must deliver a finished product approved by Bethesda within a certain period of time.
- The Trademark Licensing Agreement, while it requires Interplay to be in "full scale development" of the game by April 2009, it does not define what it means. Interplay and Masthead currently have a number of artists, programmers, writers, and game designers working on the game, which according to Caen does constitute "full-scale" development.
- The current Project V13 game design document is more than 600 pages long and describes background material, such as the game world, characters, creatures, weapons, equipment, back story and other key concepts concerning game play.
- Interplay has not assigned any rights in the Fallout mark or in its MMOG to Masthead Studios or to anyone, so contrary to what Bethesda claims, this is not sublicensing and the TLA does not prohibit Interplay from using contractors to assist in the development of the MMORPG. Masthead has more than 65 people working on game development.
- In March 2009, a playable demonstration was created using Interplay's pre-production designs and Masthead's technology. It consists of a portion of the post-apocalyptic world, with buildings, locations, objects, NPCs player characters. Caen states that Interplay can submit a video of this demonstration to the court.
- On April 3, 2008, Interplay sought approval to use the Fallout mark on its website to announce the MMORPG. However, Bethesda refused to permit Interplay to announce its Fallout MMORPG as such, even though Interplay should have been, and should be, allowed to use the Fallout mark according to the TLA. According to Caen, the refusal of Bethesda to permit this is in bad faith. When Interplay changed the name of its project on the website to Project V13, Bethesda forced Interplay to remove even generic post-apocalyptic art from the site.
- The APA does not limit Interplay's distribution channels for the pre-existing games in any way (e.g. in terms of digital distribution), contrary to Bethesda's claims. Interplay exercises its rights through the same industry standard as any publisher, including Bethesda, which involves third-party distributors.
- The packaging approval rights are of limited purpose, in order to ensure that Interplay does not "refer to, trade upon, reflect the look and feel or otherwise exploit" Bethesda's games. Interplay, on the other hand, simply recycles artwork that it has used in conjunction with the pre-existing games years before the APA. The current packaging of Fallout Trilogy and Saga Fallout is overwhelmingly similar to the pre-APA boxes.
- The only truly new packaging and promotional materials were used in conjunction with the release of Fallout and Fallout 2 in the French PC Jeux magazine. Bethesda did not object to any of the pre-APA art being used, and only demanded changes to legal notices.
- Interplay's use of "Trilogy" simply refers to the fact that the package contains three independent, but connected games. Interplay used the title Trilogy years before the release of Fallout 3 and the packaging clearly identifies the three games included. Neither of the three currently sold compilations uses any art created by or for Bethesda.
- According to Caen, Bethesda's conduct (including the creation of its own MMORPG studio) indicates that Bethesda never intended to permit Interplay to develop the game and planned from the outset to terminate Interplay's rights and grant them instead to ZeniMax Online Studios, and constitutes Bethesda's scheme to renege on its obligations, as well as disparage and defame Interplay and disrupt its business.
- Herve Caen requested to meet with Bethesda's president Vlatko Andonov and Bethesda's VP of legal affairs, Grif Lesher, and his e-mails were completely ignored.
We have also acquired copies of e-mails exchanged between Herve Caen and Bethesda/ZeniMax representatives, submitted by Caen as court evidence, which we have posted in a separate post.

Bulletin HASKINS & SELLS 21 TECHNICAL procedure in the execu-tion of engagements long has been recognized as the most important phase of accountancy practice. There is another phase, however, which is so closely related to technical procedure that it is difficult to differentiate it therefrom if, indeed, it needs to be so differentiated. This phase might be described as the technique of professional relations. A careful analysis and strict classification of practice factors probably would place this item in the group of managerial functions. The proper classification of the item, however, is not so important as a recognition of its significance, a knowledge of what it comprehends, and prompt action in a situation where it is involved. The technique of professional relations may be described in simpler words as procedure in handling situations which involve relations with clients and others growing out of the practice of accountancy. Accountancy practice, comparatively speaking, is a new profession. It is founded on a technical knowledge of accounting, economics, finance, business law, business organization, and business administration. Having to do largely with confidential affairs it requires, on the part of those who practice, honesty, integrity, and a high regard for the confidence which clients must of necessity repose in those whom they retain for professional service. In addition, the practice of accountancy calls for an understanding of human affairs, of a variety and complexity of situations which may arise, and ability to handle these situations with prompt and unerring judgment. If the practitioner is unwilling to confess a limited knowledge of the technical side of his subject, if he bows to no other profession in the matter of integrity and appreciation of his responsible position, he must at least admit he has much to learn from experience in the matter of dealing with clients and related parties who become involved in the affairs thereof. The following incident will serve to illustrate some of the foregoing philosophy better, perhaps, than any other attempt at elucidation. The officials of a certain bank recommended us to a concern in which the bank was interested through a line of credit. Our services were engaged to audit the client's accounts for a period of six months and prepare a report thereon. In the course of our work we encountered a situation which precluded the absolute verification of a certain item without an extensive investigation which the client preferred not to authorize, because of the time and expense involved and his pressing need for the report. Proceeding in our usual manner under such circumstances, we qualified the item in the balance sheet and explained the situation in the comments of our report. Learning Every Day

MBTA fires 'inattentive' driver after Boylston Street trolley crash
37 people sent to hospitals after Nov. 29 crash
The driver of a Green Line trolley that rear-ended another trolley sending dozens of riders to the hospital last week has been fired, the MBTA said Wednesday.
MBTA General Manager Jonathan R. Davis said the driver was "inattentive" at the time of the crash.
Dozens of people were injured when the two Green Line trolleys bumped into each other at the Boylston Street Station just before noon on Nov. 29.
"People went flying, got their knees banged up. It was pretty hectic," one rider said.
In all, 37 people were taken to local hospitals with minor injuries.
Davis said the driver had worked a second, outside job from midnight to 8 a.m. before reporting to his MBTA job at 11 a.m., about an hour before the crash.
NewsCenter 5 has learned the six year veteran was also working for the Boston Housing Authority as a nighttime dispatcher.
Davis said there is no specific rules prohibiting MBTA workers from having other jobs, but MBTA's policies require employees to have adequate rest before reporting to work.
The driver's name has not been released.
The trolleys were not damaged in the collision and the station was reopened by the evening commute.

a nutritionally balanced diet for corals, sponges, anemones, gorgonians, feather dusters and
other fine filter feeders. Rich in vitamins and natural minerals from spirulina and
Shake well before using. Add 1 to 3 drops per gallon of aquarium water, up to 3 times a week
in an area of high water flow. In heavily stocked reef aquariums, the dosage may need to be
increased. As with any food, overfeeding can affect water quality.
Does not require refrigeration or freezing after opening, however refrigerating will prolong
useful life.
Target feeding individual animals is the most efficient method. Using a KENT Marine SeaSquirt,
dispense food where it will flow over animal.
For best results, alternate use with KENT Marine PhytoPlex, KENT Marine ChromaPlex, and KENT

Coral Nutrition
Providing an array of nutritional sources for invertebrates and planktivorous fish is
essential when simulating the natural aquatic environment. In the ocean, corals and other
aquatic life receive nourishment from a number of different sources and can grab the endless
supply of tiny organisms that are floating by. What they choose to eat is really dependent
upon whatever comes to them and what fits inside their proverbial mouths. KENT Marine Coral
Nutrition products provide the necessary variety of plankton, zooplankton, marine lipids,
spirulina and kelp for enhanced health, growth and coloration.
Target-feeding individual animals is the most efficient method to ensure that food will be
consumed by the targeted animal and not end up in the filter or skimmer. Use a KENT Marine
SeaSquirt, to accurately dispense food where it will flow over the animal.

Want some lingerie with your latte? No problem, one city council in Washington state has decided.
An eyebrow-raising coffee shop in Spokane, Wash., and its scantily-clad staff don't qualify as an adult entertainment establishment, the city council decided Monday night.
That marked a win for Triple XXX Espresso, whose owner had argued her mostly-bare baristas — who have caused a stir locally with their bikini uniforms and with topless Tuesdays and Thursdays — shouldn't be forced to cover up.
The council agreed, citing vague language in an existing ordinance defining appropriate attire, and it paved the way for the baristas to keep showing some skin.
"If you don't like it, it is your choice to come here or not," Triple XXX barista Sarah Etchart told local ABC affiliate KXLY.
The decision capped a community-wide battle over the coffee shop, with more than 60 people, many of them protestors, attending the meeting to express dismay over the bikini-clad baristas. When the decision was handed down, many stormed out in disgust, Spokane's CBS affiliate KREM reported.
The Coalition for Community Values had protested against the shop on Thursday, arguing it should be considered an adult establishment and regulated as such.
"It's absolutely wrong," protestor Shelly Grant told KXLY.
Triple XXX Espresso's baristas outfits might not be changing, but its name is, according to KXLY. The owner plans to rename it Bare Beans, KXLY reported.

Scientific American presents House Call Doctor by Quick & Dirty Tips. Scientific American and Quick & Dirty Tips are both Macmillan companies.
Urinary incontinence is definitely one of the most embarrassing health problems that many patients suffer from, but are afraid to ask about. It's up there with anal itching, hirsutism, dandruff, and nipple discharge, all previous topics I've covered on Quick and Dirty Tips. It is so common that it is likely underestimated – research shows that 1 in 4 women over the age of 18 suffer from it. It is also thought that men suffer nearly as much as women do, but they are less likely to seek their doctor's help or talk about it.
It always makes me so sad to hear a patient tell me that they've been hiding their incontinence issues for years before they finally admit to it. Because we are doctors, we know how common it is, we see it every day…so let us help. Tell us.
We know it can be an uncomfortable topic to talk about, so that's why today I'd like to discuss techniques that you can actually do at home on your own to help retrain your bladder and alleviate your symptoms.
What Is Incontinence?
Urinary incontinence is simply the involuntary leakage of urine. Some patients may leak urine on their way to the bathroom – this is called "urgency incontinence." And some patients may leak with coughing, sneezing, and laughing, and this is termed "stress incontinence." The truth is, most people have what's called "mixed incontinence," and they suffer from a mix of both forms.

Trudy Pickett discusses the importance of furnace filters.

Four Bethel Christian Academy students have qualified to participate in the highly-selective Duke University Talent Identification Program (TiP) Seventh Grade Talent Search.

Home Solutions: Furnace filters 101
The US Environmental Protection Agency warns that the air inside our homes is generally unhealthier than the air outside. Dust, allergens, irritants and other inhaled particles cause harm over time, especially for those who struggle with asthma and other related illnesses.
Furnace filters are an important consideration when reducing indoor air pollution. They protect the furnace and contribute to good health by cleaning the air circulating through the house.
Filter designs and rating systems vary. Some filters remove large, heavy particles from the air but allow smaller particles to flow through. Large particles (from 6 to 100 microns in size) include lint, pollen and mold spores. Medium particles (from 0.3 to 6 microns) include dust, animal dander and bacteria. The smallest particles (0.3 microns and below) include smoke, smog and viruses. By comparison, a human hair is between 3 to 200 microns. Furnace filters remove particles from the air that can affect the lungs.
Fiberglass or cellulose pad filters are low cost but only effective at removing up to 2 percent of submicron particles. Washable/reusable filters can be washed with a hose and reinstalled. They catch smaller particles and if washed monthly may last three to five years. These filters remove up to 6 percent of submicron particles.
Pleated polyester filters provide more filtering capacity than flat filters. Many are made with electrostatically charged fibers that attract small particles. They last up to three months and remove up to 11 percent of submicron particles. Other filters that may be used in special circumstances include deep-pleated, high-efficiency air filters which remove up to 25 percent of submicron particles. Some have electrostatically charged fibers embedded in the filtering media. These remove up to 49 percent of submicron particles.
Electronic filters require electricity to operate. Air flows through a high-voltage grid, which applies a positive charge on particles in the air stream. The particles are attracted to a negatively charged element. This type of filter should be should be washed monthly. High initial cost and maintenance are disadvantages, but they remove up to 94 percent of submicron particles.
Factors which affect the life of a filter include house pets, tobacco smoke, remodeling and woodworking in the home, and continuous fan operation. When these factors exist, replace filters more often.

Bird flu infects three in Cambodia, killing two
PHNOM PENH, CambodiaBird flu has infected three humans in Cambodia, killing two, health officials said Friday.
The cases that have occurred in the first three weeks of this year amount to as many cases the country reported throughout all of 2012.
The cases are among the first reported in 2013 for the virulent virus, known as H5N1, which the World Health Organization says has killed 360 other people worldwide since surfacing in 2003.
WHO and Cambodia's health ministry announced that a 15-year-old girl in a village in southeastern Takeo province and a 35-year-old man in central Kampong Speu province died after being hospitalized with bird flu. An 8-month-old boy in the capital, Phnom Penh, was treated and survived.
Cambodia reported three cases last year, all of them fatal. Since 2005, it has recorded 21 cases, 19 of them fatal.
The disease remains hard for people to catch, but experts fear it could mutate into a more deadly form that spreads easily from person to person. So far, most human cases have been linked to contact with infected poultry.
The announcement follows news Wednesday that international scientists who last year halted controversial research with the deadly bird flu virus said they were resuming their work as countries adopt new rules to ensure safety.
- Gov't wants bird flu research kept under wraps, away from terrorists
- Bird flu researchers continue controversial work on lab-made strain
- US: Don't publish details of lab-bred bird flu
An outcry had erupted when two labs - in the Netherlands and the U.S. - reported they had created easier-to-spread versions of bird flu. Amid fierce debate about the oversight of such research and whether it might get in the hands of terrorists, those scientists voluntarily halted further work last January.
Those scientists announced Wednesday they were ending their moratorium now that health authorities have had time to determine how they will oversee high-stakes research involving dangerous germs. Several countries have already issued new rules.
In letters published in the journals Science and Nature this week, scientists wrote that those who meet their country's requirements have a responsibility to resume studying how the bird flu might mutate to become a bigger threat.
"We fully acknowledge that this research -- as with any work on infectious agents -- is not without risks," wrote the researchers," wrote the researchers, who included Dr. Yoshihiro Kawaoka of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Dr. Ron Fouchier of Erasmus University in the Netherlands. "However, because the risk exists in nature that an H5N1 virus capable of transmission in mammals may emerge, the benefits of this work outweigh the risks."

Topic Page: X-ray astronomy
study of celestial objects by means of the X rays they emit, in the wavelength range from 0.01 to 10 nanometers. X-ray astronomy dates to 1949 with the discovery that the sun emits X rays. Since X rays could not be observed from ground-based telescopes, V-2 rockets launched from White Sands, N.Mex., occasionally carried telescopes to study solar X-ray emissions. In 1962 a group led by R. Giacconi launched a small rocket from White Sands to search for celestial sources of X rays with instruments similar to Geiger counters. During the 5-min flight the experiment discovered an X-ray source now called Scorpius X-1, a close binary star in which one star expels gas onto a very dense neighbor, which may be a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole. This mission also found that the earth is bathed in diffuse X rays coming from all directions. Soon afterward X-ray emissions were found coming from the Crab Nebula and the radio galaxies (galaxies whose radio emissions constitute an extraordinarily large amount of their total energy output) Centaurus A and Virgo A. Other types of galaxies, particularly Seyfert galaxies (galaxies with extremely bright cores that are strong emitters of radio waves, X rays, and gamma rays), also emit X rays. The center of our galaxy is a strong X-ray source, which is an indicator of the violent activity taking place there.
In 1970 the Uhuru satellite, one of NASA's small astronomy satellites, began to look specifically for X-ray sources. Uhuru used detectors filled with argon, in which incoming X radiation gives off electrons in amounts proportional to its strength. Uhuru mapped more than 400 sources and discovered a series of X-ray binary stars in which ordinary stars orbit neutron stars that emit X rays. One of these sources, Cygnus X-1, is an object with ten times the mass of the sun. Too massive to be a neutron star, it is possibly a black hole.
Much of the data in X-ray astronomy is now gathered by orbiting satellites. In addition to the United States, Germany and Japan are among the countries having X-ray satellites. In the 1970s the Skylab space station and Orbiting Solar Observatory satellites continued the study, as did the Solar Maximum Mission the following decade. A series of High Energy Astrophysical Observatories (HEAO) were launched during the late 1970s to study X rays, cosmic rays, and gamma rays. HEAO-1, launched in 1977, increased the number of known X-ray sources from 350 to 1,500. HEAO-2—also known as the Einstein Observatory—carried the largest X-ray telescope ever built. It detected several thousand new X-ray sources in our galaxy and beyond, discovered that cataclysmic variable stars in our own galaxy emit X rays when they are in outburst, achieved the first unambiguous detection of X rays from ordinary stars other than the sun, and obtained the first X-ray images of supernova remnants, pulsars, and star clusters. As a result, supernova remnants mapped in X-ray wavelengths can be compared with visible light and radio images. In an example of cooperation between amateur and professional astronomers, the Einstein Observatory was turned toward SS Cygni (see variable star) whenever amateur astronomers with backyard telescopes reported it in outburst. The few days' duration of these outbursts allowed enough time to change the satellite's observing schedule so that it could examine the star, and it discovered the source of the star's X-ray emissions.
During the 1980s the European, Russian, and Japanese space agencies continued to launch successful X-ray astronomy missions, such as the European X-ray Observatory Satellite (EXOSAT), Granat, the Kvant module (of the Mir space station), Tenma, and Ginga. These missions were more modest in scale than the HEAO program in the 1970s and were directed toward in-depth studies of known phenomena.
In 1990, ROSAT [Roentgen Satellite], a joint project of Germany, the United States, and Great Britain, was launched. Operational until 1999, it was instrumental in the discovery of X-ray emissions from comets and conducted an all-sky survey in the X-ray region of the spectrum. Five other satellites launched in the 1990s are still operational. ALEXIS [Array of Low Energy X-ray Imaging Sensors] was launched in 1993; a minisatellite containing six coffee-can-sized wide-angle, ultrasoft-X-ray telescopes, it provided the data for a unique sky map for studying celestial flashes of soft X rays. Also launched in 1993, the Advanced Satellite for Cosmology and Astrophysics is a joint Japanese-American project; containing four X-ray telescopes, its primary purpose is the X-ray spectroscopy of such astrophysical entities as quasars and cosmic background X radiation. In 1995, NASA orbited the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) to study the variations in the emission of such X-ray sources as black-hole candidates, active galactic nuclei, white dwarf stars, neutron stars, and other high-energy sources. The RXTE played a key role in the discovery in 1996 of a "pulsing burster" located near the center of the Milky Way. Unlike other X-ray sources, this one burst, oscillated, and flickered simultaneously, with bursts lasting from 6 to 100 seconds. Before it burned out, the unexplained object was the brightest source of X rays and gamma rays in the sky, radiating more energy in 10 seconds than the sun does in 24 hours. BeppoSAX, a joint Italian-Dutch satellite, was launched in 1996. When on Dec. 14, 1997, for 1 or 2 seconds the most energetic burst of gamma radiation ever detected was recorded by the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, BeppoSAX recorded the X-ray afterglow of the burst, thereby providing a relatively accurate location for the source. The Chandra X-ray Observatory was deployed from a shuttle and boosted into a high earth orbit in 1999; it focuses on such objects as black holes, quasars, and high-temperature gases throughout the X-ray portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Also launched in 1999 was X-ray Multimirror Mission, an ESA satellite that carries an optical-ultraviolet telescope together with three parallel mounted X-ray telescopes, allowing it to simultaneously observe phenomena in two regions of the spectrum.

"Red Raspberries": Second Place, Family Circle Fiction Contest 2011
"Red Raspberries," by Amy Cappelli, is the second place winner in the Family Circle Fiction Contest 2011.
The last fifteen minutes on the afternoon bus are agony. In that time, there are ten drop-offs and what feels like a stop sign at every corner. The first waves of motion sickness hammered to shore five stops earlier. The stifling heat from the sun pounding against closed windows and the fact that I haven't eaten since third period lunch which was at 11:00 only adds to the nausea. So, I make myself very quiet, concentrating on keeping my stomach settled. But Gordon, a squirrely seventh-grader in my homeroom, keeps needling for my attention. He talks with his hands which quakes his whole body sending vibrations through the vinyl seats. He is annoyed that I am not engaged in his reenactment of Family Guy from the night before. I threaten that I might puke on him if I have to talk. That just aggravates him more; so, he calls me "Ginger" above the din and racket of the other voices. The rest of the bus joins in the taunt. "Ginger! Ginger!" It's not that I am not used to the appellation. Ever since I was in Pre-K, someone has latched onto a moniker to ridicule my red hair: Elmo, Carrot Top, Ronald McDonald, Ginger. But, today, with the queasiness, the jeering stirs a different warmth which boils up and burns my throat. Fortunately, I am rescued by the announcement of my stop. I rush off before saying goodbye to my bus driver, Mr. Leon. I hear him "Humph," before the doors seal behind me. I just want to be home in my room. It's only the second week of October and I am already sick of seventh grade.
Before I can even unload the 20-pound backpack digging a permanent groove into my shoulder, my mother has intercepted me at the door. She has my 18-month-old sister, Penny, on her hip and Penny's diaper bag slung over her other shoulder. Facing each other in the small hallway, we look like beasts of burden.
"I'm so sorry, Samuel. GiGi's caretaker did not show up today." She pauses as if expecting me to figure out what that means. I don't respond; but, I do know it means—GiGi has driven away another caretaker and we have to pick up the slack. I think your skin would need to be thicker than an elephant's in order to endure the racial slurs that spew from GiGi's mouth when she is having a bad day. "I need you to look after her. She's asleep now. I don't expect her to wake up before I get back from Penny's doctor appointment. I should only be an hour. If she wakes up, you know what to do."
"Keep her calm. Keep her entertained. Keep the doors locked. Don't leave her alone. Ever."
"Thank you. You're the best," she says hurriedly. "Call me on my cell if you have a problem." She hugs me with her semi-free arm. I wonder if she feels my shoulders tense. I wonder if she senses that I want to shrink away from her. When I hear the car pull away, an involuntary sigh escapes me and I realize I've been holding my breath all day.
Now that the motion sickness has subsided, my stomach begins to churn in hunger. On the way to the kitchen, I pass GiGi's bedroom, which is off of the dining room in what used to be my father's home office. GiGi is asleep, propped up on the ivory brocade pillows which match the loveseat she is lying on that came from her house. Her knit pants are two lengths too short for her legs. Her ankles, vein-y blue and swollen, glare out; and, the flesh of her feet is pinched by the straps of her little Asian embroidered slippers. She sleeps with her mouth in a wide gasp. Her knobby, waxy hands are crossed over her chest as if she was laid out in a casket. It stops my breath for a minute—until I see the shallow rise and fall of her chest. I wish upon all of the stars that she stays asleep while my mother is gone. And, then, another more sickening wish flits carelessly across my heart—I wish for her to never wake up again.
GiGi has been living with us since August—since my Great Grandfather Charles passed away. He died of a heart attack at 82. But I think he died of a broken heart from watching his Lovey Dovey succumb to dementia. He was her sole caretaker and in their last days together, she was wretched to him. She would have quiet moments; and, then a switch was flipped and she became an irrational wild animal—wielding a rolling pin, a fireplace poker, a shoe at him mistaking him for an intruder, a predator. Since my grandparents, GiGi and Charles' son and daughter-in- law, live out of state and are battling their own health issues, my mother volunteered to take over GiGi's care and move her in with us. We didn't talk about it; it just happened. The only thing my mother said was, "We are family. We take care of each other." But, my mother lives in the memory of GiGi—the vivacious, self-assured matriarch. She cannot accept this fragile, frightened imposter living in the shell which once housed my great grandmother's spirit. And even the shell has begun to look unfamiliar as medicines and mini strokes have made her petite frame swell and her eyes droop. I think my mother secretly believes that she is some Alzheimer's whisperer, able to coax out the true soul from the unhinged elderly. She's not doing a very good job at it.
The truth is GiGi makes me feel uncomfortable. I never know what to say to her. And, these days, talking with her is like speaking with a paranoid alien with a foreign tongue. In her quiet moments, I don't think she even wants to talk. I think she is just stuck in a memory of a lovely time in her life; and, I don't want to interrupt her. It's my mother who makes me talk to her. She thinks it's kinder, more respectful to patronize her with conversation rather than to sit there in silence. But my mother is in denial. GiGi doesn't know where she is. And forcing her to speak only agitates and confuses her. GiGi doesn't recognize any of us, and she receives us all with suspicion. To make matters more distressing, she thinks that I am a younger version of my Great Grandfather Charles and she tries to connect with me over stories from their sixty years together. Stories a 13-year-old boy cannot possibly relate to. And I was never good enough at history to act out any reference to the eras she is recalling. In those moments, I feel like I'm suffocating and I want to run away.
My stomach grumbles again. I walk away from her room softly, quickly before she senses that I am there. When I open the fridge, my heart sinks in disappointment. I remember that my parents didn't get a chance to go to the market this weekend. My snack choices are string cheese and a pint of grayish blueberries. Since I am allergic to dairy, I opt to try a berry. But, I regret my decision after poking around the plastic container only to have my finger come out painted with moldy skins and a sludgy purple juice. The queasiness of an empty stomach creeps up the back of my throat again. I know I am not supposed to leave. But I decide I need to go to the Quick Stop around the corner. I check on GiGi one more time. I hold my hand an inch above her gaping mouth to check that she is still breathing. I pull her quilt up over her hands and cover her slipper-feet. Even though she is wearing a turtleneck and a thick wool cardigan and it is still 75 degrees outside, she is always cold. When I am certain she won't stir, I sneak away.
When I return with my grocery bag of beef jerky, corn chips and soda, I pull my bike into the shed at the back of the house. I notice immediately that something is not right. The back door to the house is thrust wide open. I panic as I run through the house, peeling through every room. GiGi is gone. I left her for literally ten minutes and she was in a coma. My heart is racing as I climb on my bike. I don't even know where to go. I ride up and down our street, calling her name—knowing that she will not recognize my voice. I curse at her under my breath. I curse at my bicycle when I realize I will not be able to get her home on it if I do find her. Heat is rising to my cheeks. And I can't tell if the panic which presses from inside my ribs is from the fear of not being able to find GiGi before my mother returns or the fear that I will find her and she will have one of her outbursts making it impossible to get her back home on my own. I realize that I must look wild—whipping around on my bicycle in frantic circles. I slow down so that my neighbors—who are very close with my mother—don't suspect that anything is wrong. And, while I know that I could enlist their help to canvas the area for the daft old woman, I do not want to incriminate myself by letting on that I had given her a chance to flee our home.
The world is spinning too quickly and I feel like I am going to be swallowed by it. I feel lost. And then, as I am turning the corner to ride down the streets behind my house, something bizarre happens. I can taste fresh raspberries on my tongue. It's as if I am swept back in time—back to GiGi's garden where I am picking plump red raspberries off of the thick plants that wove a green blanket along the chain link fence in her yard. I am small again. We are sitting at her kitchen table with the sun lazily setting beyond us—two bowls of fresh cream and our raspberries before us. Her hazel eyes are gentle, knowing, peaceful—like I remember them. She reaches across the table and lovingly places her warm hand over mine. "GiGi?" Her name becomes a question on my heart. I swallow hard and the sweet-tart taste of red raspberries fills my mouth again; and, the warmth of her hand burns over mine. The words are yanked through my mouth from a deep place inside me, No one asked me if this was okay with me! And then there is the taste of warmth and salt as tears stream down my cheeks.
As if a curtain is lifted before me—I find her sitting on an iron bench at a grassy triangular intersection. I prop my bicycle against a tree and cross over to the bench, unsure of how to approach her. She looks like a statue- with her frozen gaze. She also oddly looks like my baby sister when she wakes from a nap—groggy, disheveled, innocent. I slide onto the bench beside her. For a heartbeat she does not acknowledge me and then there is the awakening. A faint light in her eyes as she turns to me. Even though she looks exhausted, frail, she smiles and the beam brightens her eyes. "Charles." She says the name like it is the answer to a question that's been plaguing her.
"Yes," I answer.
"Charles, do you remember when we planted the raspberries in the yard? Do you remember how the year after we planted them, they suffered—there wasn't any fruit?"
I nod, deciding to play along.
"I was so disappointed. We had just lost our second baby. And, we were so far from home. I wanted the raspberries—to remind me of our farm back home. You told me to have faith. It wasn't time yet. Do you remember that?"
"Yes," I say quietly—feeling as if I am eavesdropping on a conversation not meant for my ears.
"And then the next summer we had our boy—after so much heartache we had him. And the yard was filled with raspberries." A look of pure contentment washes over her face and her shoulders drop in a sigh. "We had too many raspberries; we had to invent recipes for them. You told me life is like that raspberry summer—patience and faith bringing forth an abundance of days both sweet and tart. And it is all in our hands to decide what to do with them."
She places her hand over mine—it is warm and her whole life, all of the good stuff is coursing through it. I thought that I had made peace with the idea that I had lost the great grandmother I had known and loved. I thought I said goodbye three years ago when she stopped remembering our names or recognizing our faces. A feeling of dread seeps into me and I realize that I don't want her to stop talking. The uneasiness I usually feel around her is gone. I will be her Charles if she will tell me more stories. "GiGi?" I whisper. But, she doesn't hear me. She doesn't say anything more. We sit, the two of us at the intersection. I know my mother will be frantic. I know that I will get in trouble—unforgivable trouble. But, there have been so many awful days. And, GiGi is lost now in a lovely memory. And I cannot find it in my heart to interrupt her.

UCSD's Season Ends with 14th Place Finish At NCAA Central/West Regional
Related Links
The Tritons carded a final round 304 to finish with a 54-hole tally of 47-over par, 911 on the challenging Wigwam Gold Course. UCSD, which entered the day in a two-way tie for 14th place, finished just one stroke behind 13th place Bemidji State University.
With the top five teams advancing to the NCAA Championship Finals in Simpsonville, Ky. next week, UCSD's season comes to a close.
Freshman Marc Herrmann was UCSD's top individual finisher in Arizona, wrapping up with a final tally of +8, 224. The Mount Carmel High School product carded a final round 77 to claim a share of 29th place along with seven other players.
Herrmann finished three strokes in front of fellow rookie Jay Lim, who was tied for 46th place at +11, 227. Lim shot a 76 in the third round.
Sophomore Lewis Simon was the Tritons' next-highest finisher, earning a share of 68th place at +15, 231 following a final round 77. Freshman Austin Shuxiao rounded out the scoring for UCSD at +21, 238, finishing tied for 94th place after firing UCSD's best round of the day with a 74.
Cal State Stanislaus shot a final round 288 to claim the Central/West Regional title at +1, 865. The Warriors were six shots off the lead entering the final round but took advantage of poor days from Chico State (302) and Colorado School of Mines (300) to take over the top spot in the team standings.
The Wildcats finished second at +5, 869, while the Orediggers were third at +7, 871. Western Washington and Grand Canyon also earned spots in the NCAA Finals at 876 and 877, respectively.
Colorado School of Mines' Jim Knous claimed individual medalist honors at -7, 209 following a final round 73. He finished two strokes in front of Chico State's Kyle Souza, who finished second despite shooting the low round of the tournament with a 65 on Monday.
Cal State Monterey Bay's Alex Sobstad (212) and Dixie State's Kyle Chappell (217) qualified for the NCAA Finals as individuals, finishing in third and 10th places, respectively. Chappell finished in a two-way tie with Colorado State-Pueblo's James Berry, but won the spot in a playoff.
2011-12 proved to be a very successful season for the Tritons as they posted a total of five top-five finishes throughout the year, including an unprecedented third place showing at the California Collegiate Athletic Association Championships in Paso Robles last month.
They went on to earn the No. 8 seed in the West Region, marking UCSD's first Super Regional appearance as a team in five seasons.
The future looks bright for head coach Mike Wydra and the Tritons as all five players that competed in the NCAA Central/West Regional are scheduled to return next season. UCSD will not lose anyone to graduation either as the roster featured all underclassmen in 2011-12.

TORONTO - Canada's local foods are the stars of next year's Milk Calendar.
To encourage people to cook at home from scratch using fresh seasonal ingredients, home economist Jennifer MacKenzie has developed 25 family-friendly recipes concentrating on Canadian-produced items for the 2013 edition.
The calendar is being distributed this weekend in 39 Ontario and five Maritime newspapers as well as some magazines.
"Everybody is kind of realizing we want to support Canadian farmers ... people are also very familiar with tomatoes in season and peppers in season and zucchini in season, but we wanted to teach people what we can eat (local) all year rather than it's great to do it in the summer," said MacKenzie, spokesperson for the calendar and recipe developer since the 2001 edition.
"You can do it in the winter as well and also just focusing on fresh and local ingredients that are more nutritious, more economical if you buy them locally and in season."
The recipes from the Dairy Farmers of Canada go beyond cabbage and root vegetables for the winter months.
MacKenzie said it was a challenge to both develop a year's worth of seasonal recipes and introduce different ingredients that are Canadian but that people might not realize are grown in this country.
Lentils, for instance, are grown in Saskatchewan and available dried year-round. Many of the high-fibre, low-fat lentils are exported to India. MacKenzie put a Canadian twist on dal, an Indian favourite, with the addition of butternut squash, another Canadian ingredient.
"Cooking the milk right in with the lentils creates a really wonderful creamy texture and ... the milk really helps smooth out the curry flavour. It's a great introductory recipe for kids because the butternut squash adds sweetness," MacKenzie said.
Local papers will be distributing the calendar between Thursday and Saturday. Check with your paper to find out when to expect it or visit MilkCalendar.ca. If you miss it, you can also order a copy of the calendar from the website as of Nov. 19.
In addition to the recipes for each month, the new Milk Calendar features a cheese page including a salad, a melt and a dessert made with Canadian cheese. There are four recipes on the baking page and three on the cream page that can be served for a weeknight dinner or are suitable for entertaining.
As in previous years, the calendar includes cooking tips and a nutritional analysis for each recipe. All the monthly recipes can be found in French at the back of the calendar.
There are also tips to put a twist on recipes for those with more adventurous palates.
"For instance, in the Honey-Garlic Chicken and Sweet Pepper Stir-Fry it's a very mild soy, honey and garlic sauce, but for the adventurous you can add hoisin which is a richer sauce and then some hot Asian chili sauce for people that like that little bit bolder flavour," MacKenzie explained. "You can take the same recipe and give it a bit of a twist with the ingredients and perk it up a bit for people who want a little more oomph."
The Butternut Squash Dal recipe is featured in March 2013.
Butternut Squash Dal
This is a satisfying and delicious vegetarian main course or side dish. Serve with papadum, basmati rice or naan.
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
250 ml (1 cup) dried red lentils
375 ml (1 1/2 cups) reduced-sodium vegetable broth
15 ml (1 tbsp) butter
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
30 ml (2 tbsp) minced ginger root (or 7 ml/1 1/2 tsp ground ginger)
15 to 30 ml (1 to 2 tbsp) Indian yellow curry paste or powder
2 ml (1/2 tsp) salt
1 ml (1/4 tsp) pepper
750 ml (3 cups) chopped peeled butternut squash (about 500 g/1 lb)
375 ml (1 1/2 cups) milk
50 ml (1/4 cup) chopped fresh cilantro or green onions
Garam masala (optional)
In a fine sieve, place lentils and pick through to remove any stones or grit. Rinse well and drain; stir into broth and set aside.
In a large, deep saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; saute onion for 3 minutes or until starting to soften. Add garlic, ginger, curry paste (to taste), salt and pepper; saute for 2 minutes or until softened. Add lentils in broth, squash and milk. Bring to a simmer, stirring often.
Cover, leaving lid ajar, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 25 minutes or until squash and lentils are soft and tender. Remove from heat and mash lightly with a potato masher. Sprinkle with cilantro and garam masala, if using.
Makes 4 servings.
Cooking Tips: Save on preparation time by purchasing peeled, cut squash often available in the produce section at the supermarket.
When simmering the lentils and squash, keep an eye on the pot and do not let the mixture boil since the lentils and milk tend to bubble over; adjust heat as necessary to maintain a simmer with bubbles gently breaking the surface of the liquid.
Tip for Kids: This is an excellent introduction to the flavours of curry for kids who haven't tried it. The sweet squash and milk smooth out the taste of the curry allowing them to get used to the combination of spices.
For the Adventurous: Use a hot curry paste and/or saute whole cumin and coriander seeds (7 ml/1 1/2 tsp each) and 1 minced fresh hot pepper in 15 ml (1 tbsp) butter and spoon on top of dal with cilantro.

This is one reason to avoid asm one-liners in headers, since this slightly hurts code quality (like by inhibiting combining add/test instructions).
