The R18+ classification for games will be put before the Northern Territory government this week.
The amendments to the Classification of Publications, Films and Computer Games Bill include new guidelines for computer games, which are due to come into effect January 1 next year.
The amendments were passed by the Senate in June this year.
Each state and territory in Australia also needs to pass its own R18+ games classification legislation by the end of 2012 to ensure regulation of the legislation.
NSW passed its legislation in September this year.
Games will be classified under six ratings:
• RC (refused classification)
"The R18+ classification recognised that the gaming community is diverse and adult gamers will now be able to purchase games of an adult nature," John Elferink, Northern Territory Attorney-General, said in a statement.
"It also provides guidance for adults purchasing games to make an informed decision about whether the computer game is something they want to view or use and if it is appropriate for young members of their family."

The reforms were originally floated in 2009 when the Attorney-General's department released a discussion paper proposing the introduction of the R18+ classification.
A total of 58,437 submissions were received, with 98 per cent of submissions supporting the classification. The Attorney-General's department revealed around 34,938 of those submissions in support of the rating had been received via EB Games' in-store campaign.

If you're a fan of designer Brett Heyman's retro-modern acrylic evening bags, you'll no doubt be a fan of what's to come: more colors, shapes and inlaid designs. Also, for the first time, the collection won't be entirely acrylic; some styles will feature embellishments like beading or embroidery, which takes the line's visual cleverness (which was already significant) to a new level. Check out our photos below.

Health Insurance Providers Set for Double-Digit Growth in 2013: S&P
The research firm sees group-wide EPS growth.
Editor's Note: This content was originally published on Benzinga.com by The ETF Professor, Benzinga Staff Writer.
Following company-specific missteps in the first half of the year, health insurance providers or managed care organizations (MCOs), have been laggards relative to other sub-sectors in 2012. On the heels of improved earnings for the group in the third quarter, S&P Capital IQ sees better earnings and share price performance in 2013.
"While individual and commercial enrollment for the group as a whole has declined over the past few years, given high unemployment rates and reduced affordability amid the tough economy, some MCOs have been realizing higher individual and/or commercial membership through market-share gains or acquisitions," said S&P Capital IQ in a new research note. "Most have also been realizing rising Medicare Advantage enrollment, as well as rising Medicaid enrollment, as states transitioned their Medicaid populations to managed health care to help save money."
While S&P is forecasting similar enrollment trends next year as have been seen over the past three years, the research firm sees "double-digit, group-wide EPS growth."
One ETF investors can use to play a potential rebound in MCOs is the iShares Dow Jones US Healthcare Providers Index Fund (NYSEARCA:IHF). In the 2012, the iShares Dow Jones US Healthcare Providers Index Fund has not been a laggard, posting a gain of 18.3% as of this point in the year. S&P Capital IQ rates IHF Overweight.
Home to 45 stocks, IHF has nearly $230 million in assets under management and an annual expense ratio of 0.47%. Dow component UnitedHealth (NYSE:UNH) and Express Scripts (NASDAQ:ESRX) combine for nearly 26% of the ETF's weight. Other top-10 holdings include WellPoint (NYSE:WLP), Humana (NYSE:HUM), and DaVita Healthcare Partners (NYSE:DVA).
As of the end of the third quarter, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A) owned over 10 million shares of DaVita. S&P Capital IQ has a four-star rating on UnitedHealth.
In the same note, S&P Capital IQ reiterated an Overweight rating on the Health Care Select Sector SPDR (NYSEARCA:XLV), the largest health care ETF. XLV is heavily weighted to pharmaceuticals names such as Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) and Pfizer (NYSE:PFE), but the ETF does hold some MCOs. For example, UnitedHealth and Express Scripts are found among XLV's top-10 holdings. XLV has surged 18.6% year-to-date.

Yesterday I was honoured to be speaking at a symposium for Safe Ground, an inspirational charity that works with men in prisons across the UK, especially around issues of fatherhood, engaging them through creative arts, drama, roleplay and more.
The day was exploring how models of masculinity impact upon offending behaviour and desistance. I listened to and met some amazing people, not least the two young men who performed a remarkable short play "Outside In" that they had written and rehearsed as part of the Only Connect Theatre groups
For reasons best classified under "seemed like a good idea at the time", myself and Professor Brid Featherstone were gloved up and placed in a boxing ring to debate some key questions over three rounds.
I hope to get some reflections on the day together soon, but for now, here's a write-up of the notes I made, which I've tried to edit into something that bears at least passing resemblance to what I ended up saying.
Round 1 – What is Man's place in today's world?
Last year the American author and journalist Hanna Rosin loudly proclaimed the End of Men. Another, Kay Hymowitz wrote of the "child-men" who are refusing to grow up. William Bennett asked Why Men Are In Trouble. Here in London last month, Diane Abbott MP dug up that dependable zombie – the Crisis of Masculinity. At the risk of going out on a limb, I just don't believe it. There is not crisis of masculinity. There is a crisis of economics, of employment, of industry, of opportunity, education, social welfare and public services and those are hitting some men very hard. But to call that a crisis in masculinity implies that gender identity should be able to absorb those problems, mould itself around the casualty like an airbag in a crash. I do not doubt it would help many men if they were less weighed down by the plate armour of rigid masculine expectations, but that is not where the problem lies.
There is of course not one masculinity, but many. The masculinity that really does rule the world is stronger than ever. It is seldom mentioned that even now, boys in the top social and educational quartile are doing better than ever. They're actually moving further ahead of girls on the top courses, getting even more of the top jobs, walking out of university into higher salaries and higher status. They are the men who will go on to fill the boardrooms and the cabinet in ten years' time.
Boys and men are not being pushed down so much as being polarised, more than ever, into winners and losers and it begins to happen when they are still only teenagers. In the bottom quartile, opportunities for secure employment and financial independence have all but vanished, removing even the option of life as traditional husband, father, breadwinner and provider. Domestically, young working class and minority ethnic men have lost an empire and not yet found a role. There is something grotesque about blaming young men for their failure to step up to the plate when the plate has been snatched from under their feet.
Having said all that, it is hugely to credit of young men today that for the most part they are not reacting by turning to crime, violence, ASB, drugs etc etc. By all measures, all those phenomena remain on the decline. The fastest growing section of the prison population is the over-60s, not the under 20s. Somehow, somewhere, we are doing something right.
ROUND 2 Do men need male role models?
If the language of the End of Men and the Crisis of Masculinity is unhelpful, there was a report recently from the Centre for Social Justice, the thinktank set up by Iain Duncan Smith, no less, which talked of a Tsunami of Family Breakdown, claiming that whole neighbourhoods in our cities have become"man deserts." At first I thought they said "man desserts" and was picturing giant oceans of rhubarb crumble and custard. In all honesty, that would have been slightly more credible. They were actually suggesting that due to lone motherhood and the lack of male teachers, boys in poor areas could grow up with no male role models at all. It was nonsense, of course. There are plenty of men about, even in the most deprived neighbourhoods, but who are they? What do they do?
If we assume that children learn, at least in part, from observing, imitating and emulating those they see around them – and we assume that children adopt gendered behaviour in this way, then we are right to be concerned about what examples of manliness our boys see around them as they grow. I live and work, and raise my two sons in the inner city area of Manchester with a notorious history of gang and gun crime, drug problems and high crime.
Let me reassure any Daily Mail readers in the room – OK, let me reassure any hypothetical Daily Mail readers in the room, that both me and my boys see plenty positive examples of manhood. I see fathers collecting kids from school, playing with them in the park. I see men running the martial arts classes, the boxing clubs, the football clubs, the youth clubs. Our culture and media seem to revel in portrayals of masculinity that are violent, anti-social and destructive. It worries me that the likes of Diane Abbott, despite her good intentions, actively contributes to this impression that men are a negative force in society, while ignoring the other side of the coin – the many men who do amazing things both within the family and within the community.
I cannot stress enough the valuable role played by such men, in demonstrating that masculinity can mean caring, compassion, altruism, concern for others. And I cannot stress enough how worried I am that the cuts to local authority budgets are devastating these opportunities. Whither the Big Society? Iain Duncan Smith and his pals might be worried about the lack of good role models for our young men. So am I. But only one of us has the power to do something about that.
ROUND 3 – The Criminal Justice System
About two weeks ago, in Salisbury, Kent, a police sergeant was convicted of assault against a 14 year old boy in his custody. Sergeant Steven Rea grabbed the lad by the throat as he was sitting down and physically lifted him up to his feet. As he was assaulting him he yelled in his face: "What is wrong with you? You do the thieving, you stand up and be a man."
So much of what is wrong with our criminal justice system and youth justice system can be seen in that little exchange. There is of course the sheer brutality and illegal abuse of power, but what struck me is the demand of masculinity – it is manly to take a beating, and alongside that an implication that committing a crime – a petty act of shoplifting, as it happened – was an act of masculine maturity rather than juvenile inadequacy and a warning sign of a young life already gone badly awry.
It is six years since the Corston report urged a gender sensitive approach to the needs of women offenders. In that time there has been a tangible shift across the political spectrum in how we consider the humanity and effectiveness of the system's approach to women offenders. The challenge is to apply that same correct logic to male offenders too. In March, Justice minister Helen Grant called for more widespread and effective use of community sentencing for women offenders. I don't disagree with any of this. I just don't understand why the debate is restricted to women. Two-thirds of male prisoners have a reading age of 11 or less. More than 70% of have at least two diagnosed mental health conditions, 10% experienced psychotic hallucinations in the preceding year. 28% were homeless or in insecure accommodation immediately before custody.
Here we see the gender-specific issues affecting men across society – educational underachievement, neglect of mental health, economic and social isolation, homelessness, addiction – brutally concentrated at the sharpest end of the system. If I could leave this debate today with one plea in your ears, it is this: we need a Corston Report for men and we need it urgently.

Basic and applied research1 on the causes, challenges and treatment of intellectual and developmental disabilities2, as well as research on interventions and services which could improve the lives of people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, must be adequately financed, well designed, focused on relevant topics, conducted with the highest ethical standards, presented in formats accessible to multiple audiences, and have a positive impact on people's lives.
Government and private funding is insufficient to support the broad research agenda that includes issues most important to people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities and their families. Through basic and applied research, scientists and researchers can learn about causes of intellectual and/or developmental disabilities, address its preventable causes, improve the quality of life of people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities and their families, and address policy and service-delivery enhancements. Researchers can identify the most promising educational, social and clinical interventions that help people live meaningful lives.
Historically, most people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities and their families have not had input into the design, methodology, dissemination, use, and evaluation of research. Moreover, most research results have not been presented in ways which are accessible, understandable and useful for multiple audiences, including people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities and their families.
Few groups are more vulnerable to potential exploitation in research than individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. Without comprehensive, clear policies, standards and safeguards in place to protect them, people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities may be subject to exploitation and harm.
To make applied and basic research related to intellectual and/or developmental disabilities a national priority, the following must occur:
Entities involved in conducting and financing basic and applied research should ensure that policies and standards with specific guidelines and safeguards are in effect to protect persons with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities and their families.
The Arc and AAIDD are committed to identifying and promoting research-based best practices, setting high standards for direct services and measuring outcomes across all three levels of the organization (local, state and national).
Rev'd 2015
Joint Statement with the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD).
1 Basic research refers to the study and research of pure science that is meant to increase the scientific knowledge base. Applied research refers to scientific study and research that seeks to solve practical problems and develop innovative approaches.
2 "People with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities" refers to those defined by AAIDD classification and DSM IV. In everyday language they are frequently referred to as people with cognitive, intellectual and/or developmental disabilities although the professional and legal definitions of those terms both include others and exclude some defined by DSM IV.

You do not have to be afraid of people who engage in SM. SM players are doctors, lawyers, teachers, construction workers, fire fighters, secretaries and everything else you can imagine.
In her 1983 book Erotic Power, sociologist Gini Scott examined the dynamics of the heterosexual SM subculture.
She stated: "Unlike the psychiatrists and psychologists who deal primarily with psychologically troubled individuals who are also interested in D&S [Dominance and Submission], I did not find them to be psychologically troubled or socially inept; rather, a spirit of good humor and fun prevailed, and the participants appeared to be mostly attractive, quite ordinary-looking people who had ordinary relationships outside the D&S scene... A vast variety of people with a diverse range of erotic interests participate in sadomasochiSM. Their backgrounds, activities and attitudes are quite unlike the social stereotype that depicts sadomasochiSM as a form of violence, mischief, or mayhem perpetrated by the psychologically unstable who seek to hurt others or to be hurt themselves... At the core of the community are mostly sensible, rational respectable, otherwise quite ordinary people. Thus, quite unlike its public image, the community is a warm, close and supportive one."

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Six different players had two hits, and right-handers Greg Lyons and Chris Finneran each turned in solid starts on the mound as the Yale baseball team earned a doubleheader split with visiting Fairfield on Wednesday. The Stags rallied to take the first of two seven-inning games by a 4-3 tally, while Yale posted four runs in the top of the first en route to a 7-3 victory in the nightcap. Senior first baseman Trygg Larsson-Danforth hit his team-leading eighth home run of the season, joining junior right fielder Andrew Kolmar and sophomore catcher Ryan Brenner with two runs batted in.
Yale now stands at 16-13-1 in the 2010 season, while Fairfield moves to 13-15.
Larsson-Danforth went 2-for-5 with two RBI, three runs scored and two walks. He also stole his seventh base of the season. Junior second baseman Gant Elmore and freshman designated hitter Josh Scharff each doubled for the Elis, with Scharff picking up his first career RBI. Juniors Andrew Moore and Andy Megee each drove in a run with a sacrifice fly.
On the hill, Lyons scattered three hits and one earned run over the first four innings of game one. The sophomore, who did not factor into the decision, struck out five batters and walked two. Finneran had a equally impressive performance in game two, surrendering three hits and one earned run in four innings to earn his first win of the season. The senior righty struck out four batters and walked one.
The Bulldogs started the scoring in game one, getting on the board in the first inning. Elmore was hit by the first pitch of the game, and moved to second on a Larsson-Danforth walk. After a wild pitch by Fairfield starter Kevin Fico moved each runner 90 feet closer to scoring, Brenner brought them both home with an RBI double that gave the Elis a quick 2-0 lead.
After the Stags took a run back in the top of the third inning, Yale took that run back without the benefit of a hit in the bottom of the fifth. Larsson-Danforth walked to start the frame, and Brenner was then hit by a pitch. After Fairfield brought Rick Piccirillo out of the bullpen, sophomore Charlie Neil dropped down a sacrifice bunt to move the runners. A Moore sacrifice fly then scored Larsson-Danforth to run the score to 3-1.
The Stags would not go quietly, however, as Jason Rago slapped an RBI single to cut the deficit to 3-2 in the seventh and final inning. Three batters later, Marco Garamella delivered what would prove to be the game-winning double, plating two runs to put Fairfield on top, 4-3. Mark Bordonaro then pitched a perfect bottom of the seventh to close out the Bulldogs.
Senior right-hander Robert Gruber allowed three runs on five hits to fall to 3-1 on the season. Piccirillo (2-0) tossed two scoreless and hitless innings to earn the victory for the Stags. Bordonaro's save was his second of the year.
After seeing an early lead disappear in game one, the Bulldogs posted an even larger lead in the first inning of the nightcap. After Elmore was hit by a pitch with one out to get on base, Larsson-Danforth swatted his second homer of the season two batters later to put the Bulldogs on top, 2-0. The two-out rally continued Neil singled up the middle, and Scharff doubled to right centerfield to bring him around to score. Kolmar followed with a two-bagger of his own to run the score to 4-0 after just one frame.
Fairfield got on the board with a run in the third inning, but Yale extended its lead even further in the bottom of the inning. Megee led off with a double down the left field line, moved to third on a groundout by Larsson-Danforth and scored on a wild pitch by Stags' starter Scott Gussaroff. Neil then hit an infield single and soon found himself on third base after a Scharff groundout and another Gussaroff wild pitch. The Elis' second infield hit of the inning, this one off the bat of Kolmar, scored Neil and gave the home a more comfortable 6-1 cushion.
Yale's seventh run came one inning later, as freshman centerfielder Cam Squires singled and raced all the way to third base on an Elmore base-hit. Megee then flied out to right field, as Squires tagged up and dashed home. Fairfield would tack on single runs in the fifth and sixth innings, but Megee moved from the hot corner to the mound and closed out the Stags to preserve Yale's 7-3 victory.
Finneran (1-0) got the win for the Bulldogs while Gusssaroff allowed six earned runs and eight hits over the first three innings to fall to 0-2. Megee and freshman right-hander Avery Lanman both turned in effective relief outings for Yale.
The Bulldogs will resume Ivy League play this weekend with four games at Red Rolfe Division opponent Dartmouth. Action returns to Yale Field on April 24 and 25 for a four-game series with historic rival Harvard.

I just bought Frozen Synapse on GOG, and can't seem to run it. It actually crashes at the exact moment it tries to draw the first window.
This link will allow you to download a zip containing a couple files that I think are pertinent in order to resolve this issue:
_console.log (it's exactly what you think it is )
_console-output.txt (the output of my console when trying to launch the game)
_lshw.txt (the full hardware composition of the machine I'm trying to run the game on)
On the exact same system, the Windows version seems to run flawlessly through WINE.
If you need any additional information, don't hesitate to ask for it
Here are a couple infos on my system:

It's a blog world after all....
Laura has a booming design biz in Charlotte, two small kiddies, and writes some of the most detailed and educational blog posts around. She keeps it all together effortlessly! I have followed Laura's blog (and business) for a long time, particularly because she has Baton Rouge connections (her husband is from there) and occasionally blogs about her visits to Nola.
Here is a link to one of the very first posts I read....the title had me at hello. I knew I liked her then!
Laura was kind of enough to give me some great Miami tips before our quick getaway, and we have slowly become bloggy pals. The crazy part that I somehow missed (despite it being in her bio section) is that Laura went to Vanderbilt at the exact same time as my brother and sister-in-law and was even in the same sorority as my SIL. (Further freakiness...when I walked in to meet her, before realizing it was her, thought to myself...."that girl over there reminds me of Courtney...my SIL) They all lived in NYC at the exact same time, too.
Anyway, we had a great coffee, and I am certain we could have continued chatting for another hour, but she had to run off to continue client shopping and to meet up with the lunch crew and I had to make it back to the office. Laura is very generous with her vast knowledge of the design business. It is always refreshing when people are willing to help and collaborate in any profession and, for that, I am so impressed and appreciative.
Check out Laura's easy breesy comfortable interiors here.
Bloggers always talk about how they love the connections and friends they have made through blogging....I am now starting to "get" it and am excited about this new chapter as this tiny blog starts to blossom!
P.S. While I was meeting a bloggy idol, Beau was meeting his boyhood/adulthood idol. You see, Ryne Sandburg, his all time favorite Cubs player/baseball player in general, was in New Orleans. He currently manages the Triple A team that was playing our Triple A team, the Zephyrs.
Let me back up by saying that Beau doesn't just "like" "Ryno." He actually traveled to Cooperstown NY to see him get inducted into the baseball hall of fame. He travels with his baseball card, placing it in the corners of whichever bathroom mirror he uses....odd duck, right? ;)
I am really excited that one of his lifelong dreams was fulfilled and sincerely thank Emily for hardcore working to arrange the meeting. "Happy Husband, Happy Life" (I know, it sounds better when it is Real Housewives NJ "Happy Wife, Happy Life."

Hi Jesse, I found you from the Valorie's blog and had to come by. I love a "bon vivant", and think at many times I am one myself. I've read through many of your posts, and it's such a fun read. Glad to know you, and I'd love for you to check out my blog. I think we could be friends!ReplyDelete

End-of-life notice: American Legal Ethics Library
As of March 1, 2013, the Legal Information Institute is no longer maintaining the information in the American Legal Ethics Library. It is no longer possible for us to maintain it at a level of completeness and accuracy given its staffing needs. It is very possible that we will revive it at a future time. At this point, it is in need of a complete technological renovation and reworking of the "correspondent firm" model which successfully sustained it for many years.
Many people have contributed time and effort to the project over the years, and we would like to thank them. In particular, Roger Cramton and Peter Martin not only conceived ALEL but gave much of their own labor to it. We are also grateful to Brad Wendel for his editorial contributions, to Brian Toohey and all at Jones Day for their efforts, and to all of our correspondents and contributors. Thank you.
We regret any inconvenience.
Some portions of the collection may already be severely out of date, so please be cautious in your use of this material.

October 12, 2001
Los Angeles — After a five-day intensive executive management program at UCLA Anderson , Sony Pictures executive Jules Rothenberg was able to lead his department out of a rut by developing creative, innovative teams.
The UCLA Creativity and Innovation in the Organization Program is designed for executives like Rothenberg, whose organizations seek an injection of creative management and entrepreneurial thinking to fire up their business edge. Held Nov. 5-9 by UCLA Anderson, the program also targets executives from smaller organizations and managers looking for creative strategies to maintain or build their business during different stages of growth.
"We began think differently about the way we did things," said Rothenberg, who is director of distribution and financial systems at Sony Pictures Entertainment in Culver City. "I came away from the program with my head turned around, thinking more creatively about how our department can be more productive and how to build a team in a positive way."
Rothenberg said the five Sony employees who took the course in June 2001 created a bond. They were inspired to share the principles they learned with others in their department. Now they are ready to roll out one of the pieces of the program - the creation of innovative thinking teams - to 30 other Sony employees. Ultimately, they hope to reach the entire 250-person department.
The UCLA program provides provocative ideas and frameworks to help participants tap into their creative potential. Professor Moshe Rubinstein, the program's faculty director, accomplishes this by teaching participants to "think backward" and "create order out of chaos."
"We provide very special processes which lead people to think in ways that are provocative and new. The course enables them to bring the future to the present and start acting on it now," said Rubinstein, an internationally renowned expert on problem-solving and creativity in organizations and a UCLA professor in engineering and applied sciences.
Rubinstein, who co-directs the program with Iris Firstenberg, an adjunct professor of psychology, helps business leaders gain a competitive edge. The kind of business plan Rubinstein teaches is one that is constantly changing.
"A plan should tell you what to do in the present and be constantly updated - you must constantly adapt in a world of complexity and uncertainty to get ahead of the competition," Rubinstein said.
Named one of UCLA's top 20 professors of the last century, Rubinstein himself is another reason why the Creativity and Innovation in the Organization Program is an "overwhelmingly positive experience," according to Rothenberg and other past participants.
"His teaching style is pretty amazing. He teaches by illustrations and stories to get a point across, and everyone who meets him becomes his friend," Rothenberg said.
To extend the educational experience of the Creativity and Innovation in the Organization Program, Rubinstein and Firstenberg founded the "A-B-C Creativity Network" at UCLA Anderson. A forum for action-based creativity, the network enables participants to provide mutual support and trust as they make changes in their organizations.
UCLA Anderson has been in the business of executive education since 1954. Each year the Office of Executive Education Programs offers more than 40 programs that incorporate the most recent innovations in management education, and hosts nearly 2,000 executives representing all continents and almost 50 nations.
For further information about the Creativity and Innovation in the Organization Program or other executive education programs, please call (310) 825-2001, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The Yale women's swimming and diving team had its final outing of the season Saturday at the NCAA Zone A Diving Championships. Sophomore Paige Meneses and junior Rachel Rosenberg competed against other divers from the region in the one- and three-meter events at the Naval Academy's LeJeune Hall. This meet marks the end of the first season under the new leadership of Robert J.H. Kiphuth Head Coach Cristina Teuscher, as well as newly named assistant coach Toni Pullman and diving coach Chris Bergère. This weekend's meet also marks the end of senior Annie Killian's tenure as team captain.
Friday afternoon Rosenberg took 12th in the six-dive preliminary of the three-meter event. Rosenberg put up a score of 248.95, earning a spot in the finals and beating her score in the prelims from Zones last year by 15 points. Meneses finished 22nd out of 48 competitors with a score of 226.05, just 3.55 points of 18th place and a spot in the finals.
Starting second in the diving order in the evening's three-meter finals, Rosenberg scored an additional 227.05 points to make for a total of 476.00 points and a 14th place finish. Her highest-scoring dive was a reverse 2½ somersault tuck, netting her 44.80 points. Danielle Cecco of UConn won with 614.25 points.
In the preliminaries of the one-meter on Saturday afternoon, Meneses placed 20th with a score of 210.70, again three and a half points out of 18th place and the finals. Meneses averaged just over 35 points per dive, though her strongest was her back 1½ somersault pike, bringing in 37.95 points. With 209.55 points Rosenberg was right behind her in 23rd place out of 47 total competitors. UConn's Danielle Cecco again placed first in the prelims with 287.40 points and would go on to win the one-meter with 567.60 points over 12 total dives.
Despite their strong performances, neither diver will advance to the 2011 NCAA Women's Swimming and Diving Championships held next week in Austin, Texas. The Bulldogs finish the season with a record of 6-4, 5-2 in the Ivy League. The Bulldogs also had a fifth place finish at the Terrier Invitational hosted by Boston University in November. In December six swimmers represented the team at the 2010 AT&T Short Course National Championships in Columbus, Ohio. All told Yale had three C final appearances, four B final appearances and two A final appearances at Short Course Nationals. Most recently Yale took fifth at the Ivy Championships. Junior Hayes Hyde claimed the Bulldogs' only win in the 200-yard butterfly, but the team had top three finishes in six additional swimming events, all five relays and the one-meter diving event.

I hope that you like basketball books. If you go somewhere you might find a book like For the Love of Basketball.If you really want to read this book, you'll find out what's going on in this book. I like the pictures in the book because they took a picture of the players. This book reminds me of Hoop Dreams. I was amazed by this book. It makes me wonder about other basketball players who wanted to make it to the NBA from college and did. The illustrator illustrated the people that used to play basketball way back in the 1900s.
I think if people like basketball you can read about basketball.
