Rocket, of the development team behind the Arma II mod DayZ tweeted moments ago that "due to sustained and constant hacking, the central database is being dropped until further notice. You will not be able to connect." Kotaku has emailed Rocket for clarification and additional details.
Update: That didn't last long. All functionality was quickly restored; "Server is back online. Those identified as hackers in last weeks have received permabans. Sorry for the downtime," Tweeted rocket.
Update (Midnight EDT): Rocket clarified what happened in extend remarks to Kotaku. BattlEye Innovations, makers of ArmA II's anti-cheat protection, notified the DayZ admin team that they had permabanned—globally—"some thousands of those who had been previously detected cheating and hacking." The hacking attempts were solely to gain competitive advantage in the game; they were not attacks meant to steal user information or gain any type of administrative control over the game.
"At no time could they get control of the server itself, but they could kill other players, remove their gear, make them dance - all sorts of things," Rocket said. "But they could not, say, install files or anything.
"This is a very difficult time for the project, we have been under a sustained attack on nearly every system, both within game and in DayZ," Rocket added. "Without Bastian's help (makers of BattlEye), I am confident the project would have had to close. This, however, only represents an initial step, we will need to keep working with both BattlEye and Bohemia Interactive to achieve the results that those playing DayZ deserve. We have a long way to go to truly improve security but we're committed to that."

Perfume bosses blame Justin Bieber for sales slump
Executives at cosmetics giant Elizabeth Arden have blamed poor sales of JUSTIN BIEBER's fragrances for a huge slump in profits.
The company behind Bieber's perfume range for girls has suffered major losses over the last year, and bosses have blamed a decline in sales of the star's products, which include scents titled Someday and The Key.
The news comes as a further blow to the troubled pop star, who has dashed his clean-cut reputation in recent months with a slew of legal troubles, including a conviction on a vandalism charge for pelting a neighbour's house with eggs, and a DUI bust in Florida.
Elizabeth Arden bosses have also blamed the slump on low sales of fragrances by fellow pop star Taylor Swift, who has launched scents including Wonderstruck and Made of Starlight through the brand.
A statement from the firm reads, "The company had expected weaker sales comparisons due to the lower level of fragrance launch activity in fiscal 2014 versus fiscal 2013. (But) the decline in sales of celebrity fragrances, particularly the Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift fragrances, was steeper than anticipated."
Elizabeth Arden also produces fragrances for other stars including Jennifer Aniston and Mariah Carey.

October 03, 2005
LOS ANGELES - Like a lot of great ideas, this one started on a cocktail napkin.
It was June 1992 in a cafe in Stockholm. Alison Brown, a 30-year-old banjo player, and Garry West, a bassist four years her senior, hunched conspiratorially over the napkin, taking turns with the pen, first drawing the rim of a wheel, then the hub and spokes, then scribbling "record label," "touring band," "publishing," "management," and "recording studio" along the radiating lines.
The two musicians – both Nashville residents and now husband and wife -- were on the final leg of a two-month tour of Europe backing the folk rocker Michelle Shocked. When rehearsals began six weeks earlier, Brown, the tour's bandleader as well as banjoist, and West were little more than nodding acquaintances. Brown was known around town as a ferociously talented bluegrass instrumentalist (she debuted at the Grand Ole Opry at 16 and later played with Alison Krauss + Union Station) but a bit of an oddball among her Nashville peers because of her background: a history and literature degree from Harvard, an MBA from UCLA, and a stint as an investment banker in San Francisco. The Atlanta-born West, divorced with a young daughter, was a sought-after record producer and session man who had played with Patty Loveless and Taj Mahal.
Brown is blond and petite, with the genteel manner of a finishing-school graduate. Tall and boyishly handsome, West has brown hair that falls in wisps across his forehead when he's on stage, a slight drawl and little in the way of academic credentials beyond some studies at Boston's Berklee School of Music. The Michelle Shocked tour would take the band through the United Kingdom and Western Europe. But even before crossing the English Channel, the two musicians had fallen in love, making what West concedes was "a very unlikely couple."
Romantic alliances born in the back of the tour bus are not known for longevity but each sensed in the other a soul mate. That spring morning in Sweden, their hair mussed from a night of fitful sleep on the bus, Brown and West sketched out a life for themselves as musicians and entrepreneurs.
"We were kind of building the good life," Brown says. "For us, that meant getting to make music but also helping other artists make music through a record label, and getting into management and publishing."
Brown is telling the cocktail napkin story at McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica, where she and West will perform in less than an hour. The Alison Brown Quartet is ostensibly a bluegrass band but with two instruments not usually found on the hoedown stage. On piano is John R. Burr; David Heyer plays drums.
While West busies himself with the sound check, fans with tickets for that night's show line up outside. As Brown talks, a blond-headed 3-year-old in pink corduroy pants wanders into the room and the banjoist scoops her into her arms.
"I'm really incredibly lucky that I don't have to leave my family at home to go out and do this," says Brown. Hannah Brown West has been on the road with her parents since she was 3 weeks old.
For most of us, life hardly ever follows the playbook. But over the years, Brown and West – both believers in the virtues of hard work – managed to turn their cocktail-napkin jottings into the stuff of real life.
Compass Records, the musician-friendly roots label that the couple launched in 1995, this year celebrates its 10th anniversary and 200th release. Nashville's "hippest alternative label," as Playboy magazine has anointed it, Compass signs the kind of artists who don't get the attention they deserve from the major labels. Compass's marquee names include the legendary Irish singer Paul Brady, former Men at Work frontman Colin Hay, Australia's The Waifs, bassist Victor Wooten, Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze fame, the Irish band Lúnasa, and Brown herself. The label started out on the living room table but recently settled into a new home, the Music Row building where Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and friends recorded the classic "Wanted! The Outlaws" album in the early '70s.
As a musician, Brown, 43, is at the top of her game. "Stolen Moments," her fourth outing on Compass Records and the 10th in her catalog, came out earlier this year to critical acclaim (" … as technically awesome as it is melodically seductive," The Boston Globe rhapsodized). Brown, who writes much of her own music, takes her banjo into territory where you're not likely to find Earl Scruggs. "Stolen Moments" features a tune inspired by a Gregorian chant and meanders in and out of Celtic, pop and Latin. (Aside from the occasional harmony, Brown doesn't sing.) While the banjo is a famously macho instrument, Brown coaxes from her five-stringed Gibson a sound that is lighter, softer and jazzier – "more feminine," she says -- than the bright and clangy plinking evocative of "Beverly Hills" reruns.
Though Brown goes her own way stylistically, she's won over the country and bluegrass establishment. In 1991, the International Bluegrass Music Association named her banjo player of the year, sort of an Oscar of the bluegrass world. Five years ago, she shared a Grammy with Béla Fleck for "Leaving Cottondale," a wild ride of a bluegrass breakdown that leaves little doubt that Brown can pick as hard and mean as the guys when she has a mind to.
Investment banking is behind her for good but Brown still puts her business degree to work handling Compass's financial affairs. The label does about $2 million a year in sales and has turned a profit steadily since 1999. On busy days, she's knee deep in receivables and collectables. "I honestly don't think I could have done it without the UCLA degree," Brown says. "Whether you're selling refrigerators or CDs, you need to know who owes you what and when it's due and be able to collect it." She is also an adjunct professor at Vanderbilt University's Blair School of Music. Mixing music and academics "has always been a really good yin and yang thing for me," Brown says.
Brown followed an improbable road to banjo greatness. She was born in Stamford, Conn. Parents John and Barbara are both lawyers. At age 10, she started taking guitar lessons. Her teacher loaned her a copy of Flatt & Scruggs "Foggy Mountain Breakdown," popularized in the soundtrack to 1967's "Bonnie and Clyde." After one listen, Brown was hooked on bluegrass, a transformation that even she recognizes as "really kind of bizarre."
In 1974, the family relocated to La Jolla, Calif. At the time, Southern California was home to a flourishing bluegrass scene and Brown threw herself into it with zeal. (One of the hotspots was the local Shakey's Pizza Parlor, where the young banjoist headlined from time to time.) Brown found a partner in the fiddle prodigy Stuart Duncan, who was 12 to her 13. Chauffered by Stuart's father, the teen twangers criss-crossed Southern California competing in banjo-fiddle contests and pocketing the prize money more often than not.
John and Barbara had in mind an Ivy League education for their daughter but the choice of colleges was Brown's alone. "I – and really, this is true -- looked in the back of Bluegrass Unlimited to see if New Haven or Cambridge had more bluegrass music. The Boston area was, and still is, probably the best market for folk music in the country so I picked Cambridge and I just loved it. I did a bluegrass radio show on WHRB and had a little student bluegrass band."
Still, making a living as a banjo player seemed far-fetched. In 1984, Harvard degree in hand, Brown returned to California and enrolled at UCLA School of Management. (It would become the Anderson School in '87.) One of her professors was the finance expert Thomas Copeland, now an emeritus. "He wrote on the board a number with five figures. I can't remember what it was, but it was a big number at the time. 'That can be your salary if you do well in this class and go into investment banking.' After that, everybody wanted to go into investment banking."
Brown went to work for Smith Barney structuring tax-exempt bond issues. She chafed under the buttoned-up corporate culture. "I really missed music," she says. "I used to smuggle in my Bluegrass Musician and hide it under my copy of Bond Buyer." Brown quit after about two years but she wasn't home long. In 1989, she got a phone call that would dramatically change the course of her life. Alison Krauss's banjo player had just quit and Krauss, then a fresh face on the bluegrass scene, needed a replacement in a hurry. Brown ended up touring and recording with Krauss for three years, lending a hand on Krauss's Grammy-winning "I've Got That Old Feeling" album and watching as Krauss rocketed to stardom.
At McCabe's that night, Brown banters between songs. "Any bluegrass fans out there? Well, we're sorry about everything." "Who would have thought that a banjo and a piano, which are natural enemies in the wild, would do so well in a guitar shop?"
Halfway through the set, Brown introduces the band's road manager, "the one who makes all this possible." Hannah, who has been hanging out with a babysitter in the green room, makes her way onto the stage and heads for a child-sized floor microphone near the front. With her mom plucking her banjo behind her, the tow-headed toddler sings "California Here I Come." The house is full that night and the audience goes crazy. Hannah stands there wide-eyed, as if stunned. Finally, Brown kneels down and whispers into her ear. In a tiny voice, Hannah says, "Thank you" and walks off stage.

Genomatica Delivers Pilot-Scale Validation in Sustainable Chemical Manufacturing
Technology platform drives readiness for commercial scale-up in only 2 ˝ years
SAN DIEGO, June 29, 2010 - Genomatica announced today that it has achieved two key commercialization milestones ahead of schedule. First, the company achieved pilot-scale validation, at 3,000 liters, of the manufacturability and commercial viability of a 'green' version of 1,4-butanediol (BDO), its first commercial product. And second, the company confirmed the accelerated development time and reduced development and production costs made possible through use of its technology platform, from concept to commercialization.
Pilot Validation for BDO Drives Readiness for Commercial Scale-up and Production
Genomatica's first planned commercial product is a 'green' BDO, made from renewable feedstocks rather than crude oil or natural gas. BDO, a product with a $3 billion and growing market, is used to make spandex, automotive plastics, running shoes and more.
Genomatica has completed multiple 3,000 liter batches of BDO using a variety of readily available commercial-grade sugars as feedstock. Yield, productivity, separation and purification were consistent with the targets required to produce Genomatica's green BDO at lower cost than typical commercial production of petroleum-based BDO.
The scale-up to 3,000 liters, a 100-fold increase from lab scale, was completed in two months. Results matched metrics from smaller-scale tests, and from Genomatica's modeling software. The scale-up was performed at MBI, a not-for-profit technology company affiliated with Michigan State University's BioEconomy Network, which has worked with companies including DuPont Applied BioSciences. "MBI's deep experience with scale-up and de-risking made them a great partner," said Mark Burk, chief technology officer of Genomatica.
Unique Development Platform Slashes Time to Market
Genomatica created and used its unique integrated bio-process engineering platform to develop its BDO organisms and complete manufacturing process. This was achieved in a record 2 ˝ years - dramatically faster than previous industry accomplishments with bio-processes.
Genomatica's platform allows high-throughput 'in-silico' (computer-based) design and testing of highly-optimized organisms, manufacturing processes and economics. This results in more efficient, focused lab work, much faster product development and time to commercial-scale manufacturing, lower-cost production, and de-risking of the process. Genomatica has applied to industrial biotech the same lessons of analysis, modeling and simulation that helped drive the realization of Moore's Law in the chip industry, rather than using more costly brute force or trial-and-error techniques.
The platform has also been proven through $20 million of partnerships with Dow, DSM, Unilever, NatureWorks/Cargill, Kyowa Hakko, and Verenium; and over 30 peer-reviewed projects funded by the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, Department of Defense and Environmental Protection Agency.
Significance to the Industry
"Genomatica's platform technology is the greatest enabling technology I've seen for industrial biotechnology - and I've seen a lot" said Bernhard Hauer, formerly BASF's vice president, research, and now professor at the University of Stuttgart. "This has the potential to catalyze a transformation of the chemical industry - no pun intended."
"The speed with which Genomatica introduced new generations of its 1,4-butanediol organism is impressive," said David Jones, Senior Vice President of MBI. "The company has set a new standard."
"By successfully implementing the manufacturing process at this scale, we have shown that our first product is ready for commercialization and that our platform delivers," said Mark Burk, chief technology officer of Genomatica. "Our bio-based BDO process will be cost-advantaged when compared to existing methods. We're looking forward to delivering these same advantages to additional products and processes."
About Genomatica
Genomatica is the emerging leader in the sustainable chemicals revolution. Genomatica aims to transform the chemical industry through clean, cheap, bio-based production of intermediate and basic chemicals - a $1 trillion plus market - from a range of current and next-generation renewable feedstocks rather than oil and gas. The company's unique integrated bio-process engineering platform allows 'in-silico' (computer-based) design and testing of highly-optimized organisms, manufacturing processes and economics. This results in much faster product development and time to commercial-scale manufacturing, and lower production costs. The platform has been proven in the record speed of pilot validation of Genomatica's first product, BDO; in partnerships with Dow, DSM, Unilever, NatureWorks/Cargill, Kyowa Hakko, and Verenium; and in over 30 peer-reviewed projects funded by the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, Department of Defense and Environmental Protection Agency. Genomatica has developed extensive intellectual property for clean, industrial biotechnology, including over 100 issued and pending patents, and IP on the pathways and/or strains for 20 of the top 100 intermediate and basic chemicals. Genomatica has raised $40 million from Alloy Ventures, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Mohr Davidow Ventures and TPG Biotech.

When I was young, my wife and her sister and husband and our kids were always together. Every weekend we were giving birthday parties and having cookouts. Both of our families use wood to heat our houses in the winter, so we would cut wood together. We would go to the beach and camp out.
One summer my brother-in-law and his wife and kids were going to the beach. My daughter was 16, and she wanted to go. We didn't have the money to go. I thought I would go to Sanford to play bingo. I went and won $25 and two free tickets to play the next night.
I let my daughter go with me the next night to play bingo. I won $500! My daughter was jumping up and down. I don't have to tell you I was pretty happy, too.
My daughter has grown boys now. But she still talks about that trip to the beach and how we got to go.

Doubt that They Have a Future
Fund: Northcap Partners
Posted by anonymous on 2009-06-09
Apparently their LPs are in dire straits and last I heard they don't have any money (like lots of VCs, so that's not surprising). Also, most of their recent investments (2007 and 2008 that is) have been less than exciting, local companies (a local ADSL provider doing a few hundred $K in revenue even years after being invested in!?)

The Scottish GENES blog has now ceased publication - for continuing Scottish news please refer to its sister blog, British GENES, at http://britishgenes.blogspot.com. The Scottish GENES posts will remain online as an archive of Scottish genealogical news from 2007-2011. Alba - agus Scottish GENES - gu bràth!

Discontinuation of Scottish GENES
www.britishgenes.blogspot.com. My initial intention was to maintain both blogs, one for those with only Scottish interest, and one for those who may have interests further afoot in the British Isles, Scotland included. British GENES was created because I was receiving more press releases than I could make available on a purely Scottish platform, and I did not want them to go to waste. The new blog incorporates all the posts I make from Scottish GENES, however, pressures on time are now forcing me to make a change which may not be popular for some, in that I have decided to discontinue producing the same content on two different blogs. As such, this will be my last post on the Scottish GENES blog.
Please note though that I will NOT be discontinuing Scottish news! I will simply now be using British GENES as the main portal for all news from the British Isles, and have absolutely no intentions of reducing the amount of Scottish content featured - not least of which because I live and work as a genealogist in Scotland! As such, I would ask that if you have bookmarked the Scottish GENES blog, that you perhaps now consider switching to the British GENES blog instead (which incorporates all the blog posts on Scottish GENES).
As with Scottish GENES you can subscribe for a British GENES daily news feed using links found on the left hand side of the page at www.britishgenes.blogspot.com. If you have also followed Scottish GENES as a Google user, please do consider doing the same with British GENES - it's always nice to see who some of the readers are!
Whilst I know that some will be disappointed by this, it is worth pointing out that I have been covering lots of UK news on Scottish GENES in any event for quite some time, so the change will not be quite as drastic as may at first be perceived. My own ancestry is Irish and Scottish, and so these will be more than fairly catered for on British GENES, trust me! :)
For those who may not wish to follow through to British GENES, a sincere thank you for sticking with Scottish GENES since it was created at the end of 2007 - the blog itself will remain online as an archive of news from the last four years. Don't forget that you can continue to follow Scottish only news in my bi-monthly news column within Discover my Past Scotland magazine (www.discovermypast.co.uk), and my new History Scotland magazine genealogy column starts off in the January 2012 edition! (The Scottish GENES Facebook page will continue for the foreseeable future until I create a new British GENES page to take its place.)
For those who are happy to follow though to British GENES - onwards and upwards, as I have lots of ideas in hand for the coming months for features and other developments...!!! See you there!

Onwards and upwards, indeed! I wish the British GENES site a bright future - so, all the best for 2012, Chris. Keep up the excellent work!

Cheers Luke!

Thanks for letting us know, sounds like a progression. And, at the end of the day, Scotland is very much an integral part of Great Britain.
- 18 December 2011 at 12:05
I've been a reader of the Scottish blog for a long time & know it's a sensible decision for you but I will miss it! I know you do cover all of the British Isles (& it's greatly appreciated!) but do you think a different logo might convey that coverage better to attract more interest from Irish genealogists? Sorry! I know it's also a little bit political but may help you gain more readers & be less off-putting to others. Perhaps an outline of the British Isles? Regardless, I will continue to read your blog & thank you for taking the time to help all of us amateur tree shakers! Kate

Will have a think!

Hi Chris,
Sorry to see your Scottish blog go, but as they say "all good things come to an end".
Would you consider adding tags to your posts such as "Scotland", "England, "Ireland", or "Boer War", or "Fife", then readers could click on the tags and see the posts relating to that topic.
- 18 December 2011 at 15:06
- Chris Paton said...
Thanks Tunji - I'll think about that. Could be quite a lot of tags though for the range I cover, but I could certainly consider something generic!
- 18 December 2011 at 16:16
Really sorry that this blog will go. I read it every day and truly appreciated Scottish news having its own place.
Could you maybe have tabs on the homepage on the British one so that news for each "home" country is easy to find - maybe you already have this, I've not yet been over to see. Will go look now.
- 18 December 2011 at 17:59
- Christine said...
I understand your decision completely. I recently cleaned up my RSS feeds and decided the duplication in postings was unnecessary. Good move Chris! Thank you!
- 18 December 2011 at 21:01
The act of union gets everyone in the end (ducks hurled sgian-dubh)! Seems like a sensible decision to me. The blog is dead; long live the blog.
- 19 December 2011 at 10:40
- Chris Paton said...
It is true - the day the Scottish monarchy took over Britain really should be commemorated more! :) lol
I'm actually quite nashy, but whatever happens in the next couple of years with the referendum, we've still got a lot to share on these islands, so can't see things changing blog-wise!
Alba gu bragh!!! :)

Oswald's Tale: An American Mystery
Random House Trade Paperbacks, 1996 - 791 pages
In perhaps his most important literary feat, Norman Mailer fashions an unprecedented portrait of one of the great villains—and enigmas—in United States history. Here is Lee Harvey Oswald—his family background, troubled marriage, controversial journey to Russia, and return to an "America [waiting] for him like an angry relative whose eyes glare in the heat." Based on KGB and FBI transcripts, government reports, letters and diaries, and Mailer's own international research, this is an epic account of a man whose cunning, duplicity, and self-invention were both at home in and at odds with the country he forever altered.
Praise for Oswald's Tale
"America's largest mystery has found its greatest interpreter."—The Washington Post Book World
"Mailer is fierce, courageous, and reckless and nearly everything he writes has sections of headlong brilliance. . . . From the American master conjurer of dark and swirling purpose, a moving reflection."—Robert Stone, The New York Review of Books
"A narrative of tremendous energy and panache; the author at the top of his form."—Christopher Hitchens, Financial Times
"The performance of an author relishing the force and reach of his own acuity."—Martin Amis, The Sunday Times (London)
Praise for Norman Mailer
"[Norman Mailer] loomed over American letters longer and larger than any other writer of his generation."—The New York Times
"A writer of the greatest and most reckless talent."—The New Yorker
"Mailer is indispensable, an American treasure."—The Washington Post
"A devastatingly alive and original creative mind."—Life
"Mailer is fierce, courageous, and reckless and nearly everything he writes has sections of headlong brilliance."—The New York Review of Books
"The largest mind and imagination [in modern] American literature . . . Unlike just about every American writer since Henry James, Mailer has managed to grow and become richer in wisdom with each new book."—Chicago Tribune
"Mailer is a master of his craft. His language carries you through the story like a leaf on a stream."—The Cincinnati Post

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – The York College women's track & field squad competed at the Susquehanna Indoor Invitational on Sunday. In a meet which head coach Erick Camodeca said was used as a fine-tuning session for several student-athletes, the Spartans utilized the meet as their final competitive preparation for next Sunday's first-ever Capital Athletic Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships.
A pair of Green and White newcomers put together strong performances for the Spartan squad. Jasmine Smith, the reigning CAC Field Athlete of the Week, and Hannah Ritzman each showed well at Susquehanna. Smith established a new program record in the 200-meter dash as she ran to a 27.63 time. That effort, which provided the Spartan rookie with a third-place finish, marked the fifth time this indoor season that Smith has broken either individually or in a relay a Spartan record. Ritzman ran both the 400- and the 200-meter races. Her top performance came in the 400 where she notched a 1:03.44 to place second overall while taking 11th in the 200 with a 28.34 time.
"We are really happy with [Jasmine's] performance heading into next week's Championships," Camodeca said, "while [Hannah] has put herself in [great position]."
On the other end of the experience spectrum, senior Anna Spaniol, who Camodeca said had a "great race," garnered a runner-up finish in the 800. Spaniol put together a strong 2:28.79 to collect her second-place result. Amy Stickle ran to a fifth-place time in the event with a 2:36.51.
Chitom Henry raced to a third-place mark in the 60-meter hurdles, running a finals time of 10.53. Henry had qualified for the finals in fourth with a 10.68.
York's 5k crew of Jessica Miller, Nicole Danielewicz, Caroline DeLany, and Corie Thompson each grabbed top-ten finishes in the event. Miller (20:09.22), Danielewicz (20:23.13), and DeLany (20:23.58) went 3-4-5, respectively, while Thompson took eighth with a 21:22.14.
Megan Phillips added a strong performance in the one mile as she recorded a 5:47.92 to finish fifth overall. Teammate Emily Abell finished just two spots behind Phillips, registering a seventh-place 5:53.59.
Deborah Fidele added another top-ten mark for the Green and White as she posted a 1:04.22 in the 400 meters. That time allotted the Spartan rookie a sixth-place finish.
In the throws, freshman Ashley Menniti competed in the weight throw and shot put. Menniti's 9.81-meter (32' 2.25") toss in the weight throw provided her with a 12th-place mark while her 9.17-meter (30' 1") distance in the shot put was good for 13th.
The Spartans return to action on Sunday, February 19, as they compete at the first CAC Indoor Track & Field Championships. Hosted by George Mason University, a venue where the Green and White competed on January 28, the CAC Championships are slated for a 10:00 am start.

The Indianapolis Colts found themselves facing a deficit of at least 14 points in the first half for the third straight game on Thursday night.
However, the Colts once again manged to come from behind to earn a 30-27 victory over the Tennessee Titans and took a commanding three-game lead over the rest of the AFC South.
Chris Johnson scored a pair of touchdowns in the first quarter to build an early lead for the Titans.
Trailing 17-6 at half, the Colts got the ball to start the third quarter. Indianapolis scored 14 points in less than a minute – taking advantage of a Titans' special teams turnover – to take the lead for the first time over Tennessee.
Andrew Luck led the Colts on an 11-play, 74-yard scoring drive capped by a 6-yard touchdown run from Donald Brown to pull within four at 17-13.
Devon Wylie, who had been promoted from the Titans' practice squad earlier this week, fumbled the ensuing kickoff. The loose ball was recovered by reserve running back Dan Herron at the Tennessee 20-yard line.
Luck hit Stanley Havili for nine yards and then scored himself to take the lead. Luck tried to throw a quick screen but Titans' defensive end Derrick Morgan jumped into the throwing lane. Luck pulled the ball down and took off running and walked in for an 11-yard touchdown to give the Colts a 20-17 lead.
The pair of touchdowns came 57 seconds apart.
Adam Vinatieri and Rob Bironas traded field goals as the Colts held onto the slim 23-20 lead. But the Colts managed to mount another lengthy drive to put the game out of reach. Indianapolis held the ball for nearly five minutes as the Colts marched on an 11-play, 64-yard score drive. Brown scored from 11 yards out, his second touchdown of the night, as the Colts took a 30-27 lead.
Brown rushed for 80 yards on 14 carries and two scores for the Colts.
Ryan Fitzpatrick quickly led a Titans scoring drive with a 19-yard touchdown pass to Delanie Walker to pull back within three, but an onside kick attempt failed and the Colts managed to run out the clock to hold onto the win.

If they don't burst they leak in a multitude of pinholes at the creases/folds- and since they oversize them there are bound to be creases.mank56 wrote:I recently had to replace my bladders so I bought a set of Airtime orange bladders.
2 of the valves were partly stuck to the packaging when they arrived and had to be peeled off causing them damage.
One of the struts burst on its first inflate (and I didn't inflate it hard).
I contacted the shop that sold it to me and they said there is no warranty on that product.
I also contacted airtime that said it was my fault and they would not help me.
What a waste of more than £100 I have not used any of the bladders, if they burst that easily I'm not going to use them in the water.

UW-Eau Claire's Celebration of Excellence in Research and Creative Activity (CERCA) is designed to give UW-Eau Claire students the opportunity to present the results of their research and scholarly creative activity. The event highlights student research accomplishments and contributions to the academic community. CERCA encourages the dissemination of research results from all disciplines represented at UW-Eau Claire.
The first UW-Eau Claire student research event, known as Student Research Day, was in 1992 with 60 posters presented. Since 1992, the event has expanded and evolved. In 2014, CERCA highlighted 343 projects by 697 different students and 372 faculty mentors. CERCA continues to grow every year.
Any UW-Eau Claire student engaged in collaborative or independent research or scholarly creative work is eligible to apply. Participants in all disciplines are encouraged to apply.
All projects must make new knowledge by building from previous knowledge or creating new perspectives.
Your presentation should explain how your project meets this definition. This definition is intentionally broad in order to encompass all the scholarship that takes place on campus. For example:
- A kinesiology project examining the effects that a short term dynamic core exercise program may have on agility.
- A research project that critically examines how scholars perceive the role of Virgil through a survey of scholarship on The Divine Comedy in English.
- An art project inspired by relational art, a currently developing field within contemporary art.
- A geography project analyzing the land use/land cover changes in the lower Chippewa River watershed.
- A critical performance of G.B. Viotti transcribed for two bassoons in order to examine how aspects of Classical musical style translate across instrumental genres.
- A research project studying the effect of cyber bullying on school climate.
Application Process
The application process can be broken down into 3 key parts:
- Write your abstract.
- Decide on a presentation format.
- Submit your application.
1. Write your abstract
A key component to your CERCA application is your abstract (200 words maximum). For details on writing your abstract, please read the Abstract Writing Guide.
An abstract summarizes the important qualities of your project. Successful abstracts, in every discipline, will always achieve five key goals:
- Title your research project.
- State your research question, aim, or scholarly goal. (~1 sentence)
- Contextualize your project within existing knowledge or ideas. (~1 sentence)
- Describe the methods or approach you used or will use. (~2 sentences)
- Describe your main conclusions, outcomes, products, or recommendations. (~2 sentences)
Your CERCA abstract should:
- Be pasted into your CERCA application.
- Be attached as a Microsoft Word document if your text includes any special characters or italics and/or if formatting has been lost.
- Include your project title and co-presenter names.
- Include your 200 word maximum abstract.
Since your CERCA abstract will be published, it is important to:
- Use terminology that will be clear to a general, non-expert audience.
- Define abbreviations not universally understood upon first use (include abbreviation in parentheses immediately after you first use the term; thereafter you can use the abbreviation).
- Be concise and strive for clarity.
- Carefully proofread your work.
If you need additional writing assistance, experienced writing tutors in the Center for Writing Excellence can assist you with any stage of abstract-writing. Abstracts not adhering to these guidelines may be returned for revision prior to acceptance. Your CERCA abstract will be published in the Proceedings Volume online and in print.
2. Decide on a presentation format
In addition to attaching your abstract, you will need to decide which presentation format will best suit your research. This year, CERCA has 4 presentation formats:
- Oral Presentation: Oral presentations are 12 minutes plus 3 minutes for discussion. Oral sessions will be scheduled on Wednesday and Thursday and will be grouped with other oral presentations by topic. The presentation rooms are equipped with computers and projectors. Creative writing presentations should present a research context alongside the work. Please e-mail email@example.com if you require any other accommodations or have questions.
- Poster Presentation: A 42"x46" poster displayed for 2 days with a 2 hour presentation time each day. At least one presenter should be present at each presentation time. 2018 presentation dates will be Wednesday and Thursday. Poster design workshops will be available starting early April. Space for poster presentations or art displays is limited and therefore, first-come, first-served. We are able to provide tables and access to electrical outlets. If you need any additional accommodations, "Display with Explanation" will better accommodate your needs.
- Display with Explanation: For presenting art, hands-on demonstrations, or anything else not conducive to a 'poster only' format. Materials should be on displayed for 2 days with a 2 hour presentation time each day. At least one presenter should be present at each presentation time. Presentation times will be Wednesday and Thursday. You will still be required to include text contextualizing and explaining your project. Most displays create a poster explaining what is on display. We will do our best to accommodate any needs your specific display may require.
- Performance or Film with Lecture: Typically 25 minutes for a live performance or film including a contextualizing lecture. Your Performance or Film with Lecture will be scheduled Wednesday or Thursday. We will do our best to accommodate any needs including using Woodland Theater and making arrangements for audio equipment or instruments.
3. Submit your application
The Celebration of Excellence in Research and Creative Activity application is processed in BP Logix and must be initiated by a student. To start an application, the lead student will need to log into BP Logix, (1) select Start New form and (2) chooseORSP as the department. From there, (3) select "Celebration of Excellence in Research and Creative Activity". A new form should open.
To edit, submit, or resubmit a form you have previously started or a form which has been returned to you, access the form from the My Tasks tab. Once you have submitted a form, it will be viewable from the View Forms In Process tab and will no longer appear in your My Tasks tab. Please visit the Using eForms and BP Logix page for a detailed explanation of the eForm system.
Your application will also require a faculty mentor to sign off on your application. For independent research (research that wasn't performed with a faculty mentor), the applicant must find a faculty mentor to sign off on their project.
Projects with multiple co-authors
The CERCA form is set up so that the lead student author submits a single application. Student co-authors should not submit a second application and do not need to formally approve the form. Once the lead student author submits the form, it will be sent to the faculty mentor for approval or revision before being sent to ORSP. Due to technical limitations, co-authors will not receive notification of approval and cannot edit or view the form themselves. The lead student is responsible for communicating with co-authors.
If you are presenting a poster or display with poster, UW-Eau Claire would like to publish your poster in an online, searchable database called MINDS@UW. To publish a poster, both the lead student author and faculty mentor will need to sign off in the application.
Still need help?
Please visit the Using eForms and BP Logix . If you have questions or need further assistance, please contact ORSP at 715-836-3405 or email@example.com.
Deadline for Application:
Applications must be submitted online in early March 2018, exact date to be determined.
Creating a Poster
If you choose to do a poster presentation, you will need to design and print a large format poster after your application has been approved. Poster printing is free for CERCA presentations. You will need to submit your poster at least one week before CERCA to ensure time for printing.
Poster design, preparation, and printing assistance is available. Sign up for a Poster Design Workshop, view a video tutorial, or contact firstname.lastname@example.com. The poster printing policy (Knowledge View) is also available for viewing. For usable poster templates, please go the W:Drive/lts/Poster/Templates if you are on campus. If you are off campus, go to https://files.uwec.edu/ and log in with your UW-Eau Claire username. Click on the sidebar and navigate through lts/Poster/Templates.
All posters should include the UW-Eau Claire Power of AND brand and wordmark in agreement with the University Communications Graphic Standards Guide. Each poster should list the title of the project, the student(s)' names, the faculty mentor name(s), and the department name(s). The poster dimensions should not exceed 46x46 inches to fit the poster board; posters printed through LTS are limited to 42x46 inches. The acknowledgements section should mention the source of your research funding, if applicable. Due to the high cost of plotter supplies and the time required to fulfill poster requests, we cannot re-print final posters due to author mistakes, except in exceptional cases.
Please visit the LTS Research Poster Printing Services site for more information about printing and designing your poster. Also, you may visit MINDS@UW to view previously published posters that you may use as examples to design your own or visit the CERCA Photo Gallery to get a feel for what the event looks like.
