Layne Moore was nearly in tears after winning the Big 12 1,000m run on Saturday.
Feb. 27, 2010
Complete Results | Day One Recap
AMES, Iowa - The Mizzou track and field program wrapped up competition at the 2010 Big 12 Indoor Championships on Saturday afternoon (Feb. 27) inside the Lied Recreation Center. Tiger senior Nick Adcock (Kansas City, Mo.) highlighted the top performers on the day as he set a school and Big 12 Championship record with 5,938 points en-route to winning the 2010 Big 12 Indoor Heptathlon Championship. The Conference Championship is Adcock's second Big 12 heptathlon title and reset the school record by 143 points. He also finished 171 points ahead of the next closest competitor in the event - Moritz Cleve of Kansas State - who was the 2009 Big 12 heptathlon champion. He won three of the seven events in the competition.
"This feels so great. Now, I just need to stay healthy and get after it because I think that I have a lot left in me," Adcock said after the competition. "Last year was such a tough year because of all of the injuries; I just could never get into a consistent training schedule. But everything came together today. The high jump synched up, the pole vault was amazing and I thought I ran pretty well in the hurdles. It was nice to win the last event yesterday and come back this morning and win the first two. It really helped me pull away from everyone heading into the 1,000m run."
"Nick is just a great example of a champion," head coach Rick McGuire said. "He has worked so hard to get back to this level, and to set a meet and school record makes it that much more of an accomplishment. He is a great kid and I can't say enough about what he has done here. It was just really fun for me to see all of his hard work pay off this season. But, I think he still has a lot left in the tank moving forward."
Heading into the day with an event-leading 3,250 points after day one, Adcock blazed the short track to an event title in the 60m hurdles after clocking in at 7.98, earning him 987 points in the combined competition, his most of any of the seven events. He also shined in the pole vault after setting a personal-best of 4.90m (16-0 ¾) en-route to winning the event. That win earned him 880 points in the competition. He finished his day by running 2:44.80 in the 1,000m run to seal the victory. Teammate Lars Rise (Trondheim, Norway) finished fourth overall with 5,648 points, a new personal-best in the event. His best mark in the competition came yesterday in the long jump as he was measured at 7.22m (23-8 ¼). With the fourth-place nod, Rise earns his second indoor All-Big 12 honors.
Junior Layne Moore (Emporia, Kan.) was another highlight of the day for the Tigers as she claimed the Big 12 title in the 1,000m run with a time of 2:50.12 after running a blazing final lap to make up four positions. It is her first Big 12 title and was the second on the day for the Tigers. She also scored 10 points in the team competition for the Tigers and for a junior that had an injury-filled summer, the victory left her in tears.
"I am beyond happy right now," Moore commented after the race. "It is one of those things that you lay in bed and think about at night. It makes a horrible summer of injuries and surgeries worth everything to me. I am so happy to represent a school that has done so much for me too. There is not another program in the Big 12 that would have stuck with me and done all of the things for me that Mizzou did over the last year. The coaches and everyone involved have given me so much so I am just really happy to be able to give them a Big 12 Championship in return. This is just a dream come true."
Senior Shannon Leinert (Eureka, Mo.) had a solid performance in the 800m run as well after running to a second-place finish at 2:07.07, just three-tenths of a second behind Purity Biwott of Texas Tech. The second-place finish earns her All-Big 12 honors and gave the Tiger women eight more points in the overall team competition. Sophomore Blake Irwin (Bettendorf, Iowa) had a similar performance in the men's 800m run, taking third place overall with a time of 1:50.39, earning him All-Big 12 honors for the third time in his career.
Thrower Andy Oaker (Steelville, Mo.) took third place in the men's shot put after throwing an NCAA provisional qualifying mark of 18.20m (59-8 ½) to earn All-Big 12 status for the third time in his career. The mark is his best of the season to date and is the top by any Tiger this season. The third-place finish is his best ever at the Big 12 Indoor Championships. Freshman Brooks Mosier (Lee's Summit, Mo.) also earned All-Big 12 accolades after finishing eighth overall in the event with a toss of 16.93m (55-6 ½).
Sophomore Leslie Farmer (Jefferson City, Mo.) also had a fine day in the women's 600-yard run, clocking a time of 1:22.10 to earn fifth overall and All-Big 12 honors for the second time in her career at the distance. The fifth-place nod earned Mizzou's women four points in the overall team competition. Junior Chris Davis (Riverdale, Ga.) earned All-Big 12 honors in the men's 600-yard run after clocking in at 1:10.32 to earn sixth place overall. The All-Big 12 honors are the second of his career during the indoor season as he was an All-Conference performer in the 1,000m run from a season ago.
Freshman Katie Evans (Powersville, Mo.) also scored for the Tigers at the competition, doing so with a personal-best shot put mark of 15.15m (49-8 ½), earning seventh place overall. She also earns All-Big 12 honors in the event as a true freshman and she just missed hitting the NCAA provisional qualifying standard.
The women's 4x400m relay team turned in a solid time of 3:41.33 to earn sixth overall, good for All-Big 12 recognition in the event. That also earned the Tiger women three points in the team competition. The men's 4x400m relay team countered by running 3:12.84, a season-best in the event and just off of the NCAA provisional qualifying standard. Overall, Mizzou's women finished the team competition with 35 total points, good for 10th place overall at the event. The men accumulated 39 points to finish in ninth place overall. With relay individuals included, 19 Tigers earned All-Big 12 distinction at the 2010 Big 12 Indoor Championships. Oklahoma won the men's team competition with 114 points while Texas A&M claimed the women's title with 130.5 total points.
Mizzou will return to action next weekend as several Tigers will head to Last Chance meets, which gave athletes one last shot to qualify for the NCAA Championships, which will be held in Fayetteville, Ark., on March 12-13.

3. Wasilla
From Hatcher Pass the drive does an about-face and retraces part of its path to Wasilla, a hamlet that hugs the shores of two long, narrow lakes. Turn off the highway near the center of town for a picnic at Lakeshore Park, which offers winter skating, summer swimming, and year-round views of the crenelated Chugach Mountains.
Founded in 1917 as a station on the Alaska Railroad, which links Anchorage and Fairbanks, Wasilla is now the biggest town between those two cities. About 10 miles east of Wasilla, the George Parks Highway (Rte. 3) intersects with the Glenn Highway. Named for the man who governed the Alaska Territory from 1925 to 1933, this paved artery runs north into the rugged heart of the state.
Wasilla is also along the route of the annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, sometimes referred to by locals as the Last Great Race on Earth. In early March solo mushers drive dog teams about 1,100 miles from Anchorage to Nome. Visitors who miss the race can catch it on video at the Iditarod Headquarters, a log cabin museum located two miles south of town on Knik Road. This museum chronicles the colorful history of the event, which commemorates a race against disaster: in 1925 a relay of heroic dog teams traveled 674 miles in about 127 hours to deliver serum to diphtheria-threatened Nome on the Arctic Ocean. Dog racing is also the theme of the Knik Museum and Sled Dog Mushers Hall of Fame, located at mile 13.7 on the Knik Road.
4. Big Lake
From Wasilla the drive proceeds due west, snaking through low, level terrain all the way to the turnoff for Big Lake. A short side trip leads to three state recreation areas (Big Lake North, Big Lake South, and Rocky Lake) supplied with campgrounds and picnic sites.
Although Big Lake is just five miles long, it is the largest of the dozen or so ponds that glaciers created in the lower Mat-Su Valley. Man picked up where the ice left off, dredging waterways that connect Big Lake to several of its smaller siblings. You can explore this network's 53-mile shoreline by powerboat, paddle-wheeler, or canoe. Tranquil waterside views are available from restaurants that front the lake.
5. Nancy Lake State Recreation Area
Back on Rte. 3, the drive curves northwest toward Willow. Shortly after crossing the train tracks at mile 66.5 (the Parks Highway parallels the Alaska Railroad), Rte. 3 intersects a spur road leading into Nancy Lake State Recreation Area. This swampy but scenic domain, covering nearly 23,000 acres, is studded with some 130 lakes.
Nancy Lake Parkway, the area's gravel access road, meanders through forests of spruce, birch, and aspen inhabited by moose, black bears, and coyotes. Sandhill cranes have been known to perform their elaborate springtime courtship ritual within view of the road, and common loons often can be glimpsed on the canoe trail that stitches together 22 of the area's lakes (canoes can be rented at the South Rolly Lake Campground).
Returning to the highway, the drive passes through Willow, a lazy little town that almost became Alaska's state capital during the 1970s, when a move from Juneau was considered but never carried out. Willow lost its shot at glory but held on to a more eternal claim to fame: it is here that travelers heading north on the Parks Highway often catch their first glimpse of mighty Mt. McKinley, which reigns supreme over the 600-mile-long Alaska Range.
6. Talkeetna
During climbing season — May and June — mountain fever reaches its peak in Talkeetna, a town that serves as a springboard for expeditions to Mt. McKinley, some 60 miles to the northwest. Weather permitting, one of the best views of the mountain comes at mile 13 on the Talkeetna spur road, which branches northeast from the highway at mile 98.7.
At 20,320 feet high, Mt. McKinley is North America's loftiest pinnacle. But what makes the mountain so daunting to scale is not its height but its climate. Thin air, frigid temperatures (even in summer), and winds gusting up to 150 miles per hour make McKinley's upper reaches one of the most forbidding places on earth. In spite of such danger, about a thousand people per year try to reach its summit; in a good year, half of them succeed.

This attractive and refreshing salad is inspired by our region's many wonderful harvest celebrations. It contains oranges, in honor of San Bernardino's National Orange Show, and lemon, a nod to Upland's Lemon Festival, and green olives, in tribute to Ontario's wonderful Graber Olives, and cherries, a salute to Cherry Valley's annual Cherry Festival, and dates, in recognition of the Indio Date Festival, and almonds, to commemorate the fact that pioneer San Gorgonio Pass almond growers helped form the 1910 cooperative that became Blue Diamond Growers, world's largest tree-nut processing and marketing company.
2-ounce bag raw sliced almonds
Handful chopped dates
4 ripe, flavorful navel oranges, each one cut in half, then each half cut into three slices, then each slice sectioned into three or four orange pieces free of pulp. Reserve juice.
6-ounce can green olives, pitted, halved or quartered
16 ounces frozen pitted cherries, thawed but still cold
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
12-ounce bag chopped hearts of romaine lettuce
12-ounce bag baby spinach leaves
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon salad vinegar
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 or 2 tablespoons reserved orange juice
1 tablespoon sugar
salt and pepper to taste
Empty almonds into a dry frying plan and lightly toast over medium heat,
stirring constantly. When nuts just begin to brown, remove immediately
from heat and continue stirring constantly for 60 seconds. Pour nuts
into a heat-safe bowl or dish and set aside.
Whisk dressing and toss with lettuce, spinach, onion, olives and dates in salad bowl. Add salt and pepper if desired. Drain cherries, if necessary, and scatter on top of greens. Drain orange pieces, if necessary, and scatter on top of cherries. Scatter most or all of the toasted almonds on top of the salad, without overly obscuring the fruit. Serve.

North American eSports organisation Major League Gaming has announced Halo 4 as part of its Fall Championship lineup. The tournament will take place just days before the game is officially released, giving competitors the opportunity to play the game before it goes on sale.
Additional details, such as prize money, format, bracket size, and schedule, have yet to be confirmed. The MLG Fall Championship will be taking place in Dallas, Texas, on November 2-4 this year.
In an update on the official Xbox website, Microsoft has advised that, for an "optimal experience," players should install the entire game to their console's hard drive, which will require at least 8GB of free space.
Halo 4 is due out on November 6 for the Xbox 360. It is a direct sequel to 2007's Halo 3 and has players taking on the role of supersoldier Master Chief. For more on the project, check out GameSpot's latest preview.

DES MOINES, Iowa Boyden-Hull took away every Chance the Iowa Mennonite School had in Monday afternoon's state tournament game. The fourth-ranked Comets locked up guard Chance Miller following his torrid first quarter and gradually pulled away for a 64-44 win in a Class 1A quarterfinal at Wells Fargo Arena.
"He came out really hot," said Boyden-Hull guard Taylor Francis. "Our game plan the rest of the way was to stop him and make the others beat us. I thought we did a good job with that."
Miller is IMS' leading scorer but surpassed his season average of 13 with five triples and a 15-point first quarter. But thanks primarily to the stickiness of Colin Boikema, Miller got just two shots off the rest of the game, missing both.
Meanwhile, Boyden-Hull (24-2), whose only two losses are to 3A top-ranked MOC/Floyd Valley, turned a four-point first-quarter deficit into a 30-28 halftime lead. The Comets outscored Miller-less IMS (22-5) in the second half by 18 points.
"They adapted," Miller said. "They put a kid on me, and he was in my jersey the whole time. He worked hard. I had to work my butt off to get the ball, so when I got it, I didn't really do much with it. That's just how it works, I guess. They're a great team, know how to play team defense."
Iowa Mennonite turned it over 21 times, with Boyden-Hull recording 13 steals. That also was a huge factor.
Cameron Gingerich added 13 points for IMS, which lost a state quarterfinal for a second consecutive year.
"They got out in the passing lanes probably better than any teams we played all year," said IMS Coach Dwight Gingerich, Cameron's uncle. "It seemed like they were able to find that flow and they stayed in it. We were spotty."
IMS knew it would have its hands full with 6-foot-5 B-H center Bryce Moss, and did, as he scored a game-high 18 points, 12 in the second half. Francis added 16 and forward Brandt Van Roekel 15 for a team that shot 61.1 percent in the second half.
"We lost in the first round last year," Cameron Gingerich said. "All year, it's been our goal to get past that. But we came in here and were probably the underdog."

On the June 5th issue of Townhall.com, Sarah Jean Seman listed many of the quotes of Ronald Reagan that are still applicable today. Two of them are listed below.
1). Government Overreach:
"The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help."
2). Inequality:
"The American dream is not that every man must be level with every other man. The American dream is that every man must be free to become whatever God intends he should become."
These first two quotes exemplify what is wrong with all progressive or leftist policies.
The left does not want a level playing field but equal outcomes.
Equal opportunity allows people to develop their talents and abilities to the greatest extent possible. The fact that people are not equally intelligent, equally skilled or equally motivated means that some people are going to be able to produce more and earn more than other people. People on the left see this as inequitable.
What the left wants is for everyone to have the same amount of stuff. That requires total government control over everything. Total government control means less gets produced and the standard of living goes down for everyone.
Few, if any, people have any idea of how wealthy the United States would be if the government was as small and nonintrusive as the founding fathers wanted it to be.
When Ronald Reagan cut taxes, income to the Treasury doubled over his time in office. That means production increased to the point where government revenue doubled at a lower tax rate.
One can only speculate at how much more would have been produced with larger tax cuts and massive deregulation.

Letters: Fast and Furious, student loans and more
Even today we struggle in foreign countries to help their people establish a democracy through their vote.
In Pennsylvania, a lawmaker stated Romney will win that state due to a law that was passed that in essence will suppress voter turnout.
As a former Pennsylvanian and a Korean [War] veteran, I wonder if many consider the lives sacrificed in foreign lands to establish democracy and the thought that we may be losing democracy in this country! – Andy Capossere, Mira Mesa
As an active member of Occupy San Diego (OSD) and the Occupellas, the singing offshoot of Women Occupy (WOSD), we may not be camping out at Freedom Plaza (Civic Center Plaza) but we are very active and working together in a coalition with other groups in a joint effort to bring back true democracy to our country. We the people, by the people. Our message is strong and loud and we will not be denied our right to be heard peacefully. In fact a group of us will be attending a meeting of Occupy in Philadelphia in July.
Our models are the suffragettes whose efforts gave the vote to women in the early 1900s. – Nicole Molina, Del Cerro
Korean War was not solely a U.S. war
I take issue with Mr. Mel Mones' letter published [June 26] regarding the lack of any mention of the anniversary of the beginning of the Korean War.
While Mr. Mones had the right date, all the facts he mentions are either incorrect or plain wrong. First of all, it wasn't a war waged against the U.S., but an international military intervention, decided by the U.N. Security Council Resolution 82 and coordinated by a joint command of operations headed by the U.S. in response of the invasion of South Korea by the North Korean army.
Although the U.S. provided 88 percent of the total multinational force, the American soldiers were not the only ones fighting and dying against the North Korean invaders (and later against their communist Chinese allies), but fought alongside the South Korean army and together with soldiers and sailors from 16 other nations, whose casualty figures were in some cases a much higher percentage of their respective number.
The conflict itself was intended to be a defensive action against the aggression, and not a war to be won at all costs. The proof of this is the fact that when Gen. McArthur tried to override President Truman's authority, he was immediately relieved from command.
Therefore I believe that it's historically wrong to allege that the U.S. was "prevented from winning" the Korean War, and it's also incorrect to say that "50,000 Americans did not come home" when the official casualties count for the U.S. forces stands as 36,940 dead and 3,737 MIA.
Personally I would have welcomed a well-researched and nonpartisan article on the causes of this war (from the decision to divide the country in two halves without consulting the Korean representatives, down to the badly mismanaged occupation of South Korea by Gen. John R. Hodge, whose actions and policies stoked anti-American feelings among the Korean population, and also to the failure of the then-Secretary of State Dean Acheson to include South Korea in the strategic Asian Defense Perimeter), and also on its consequences, which deeply impacted the Korean nation and people, with millions of civilian deaths and the destruction of most of the Korean cultural heritage, not to mention the decades of ruthless dictatorships that festered on either side of the 38th parallel.

COSTA MESA — David Baida's heard it hundreds of times by now: "You were born to play that part."
But it nearly took a miracle for the actor to audition for the role.
After a run at Los Angeles' Pantages Theatre, Baida and the rest of the touring cast of the hugely successful Broadway musical "In the Heights" will debut at the Orange County Performing Arts Center on Aug. 3.
Set in New York's Washington Heights neighborhood, "In the Heights" brings three days in the life of its Dominican and Puerto Rican community to colorful, euphoric existence.
Baida's character is a scene-stealing, willfully optimistic piragüero (Puerto Rican shaved ice vendor) who, together with his push cart, constantly thwarts the ingresses of the rival Mr. Softee truck. For Baida, stepping onto the eerily realistic show set is like walking out his own front door.
"I myself live in Washington Heights," Baida said. "I lived there for a couple of years before I got this part. I see piraguas all the time and eat them, too. The Piragua Guy sort of represents the everyday man who's got his job and is struggling to make a living, and you see his sort of journey over those three days. Finally, he gets to have his moment in the sun."
The Piragua Guy is given a catchy tune to sing near the end of Act I that, like much of the show, is partially sung in Spanish.
"It's hotter than the islands are tonight, and Mr. Softee's trying to shut me down," he sings. "But I keep scraping by the fading light; mi pana, this is my town."
"So many times, people have come up to me to say, 'I can't get your song out of my head,'" Baida said. "As we've gone throughout the United States, I never knew how the show would play somewhere like Appleton, Wis. — we really did perform there."
People do seem to identify with his character, he said.
"They say, 'I really appreciate the struggles that you went through,'" Baida said. "During the bows, they play my song. It's really great. It's not a huge part, but you make it memorable. You do what you can with what you've got."
Although Baida relishes his role now, as well as the opportunity to travel the world, it almost required an act of God in order to see "In the Heights" onstage — let alone audition for it. Like some of the show's characters, he had left his aspirations by the wayside.
"I didn't know much about the show when it came out. I had been out of the business for about 10 years; I hadn't done a musical since about 2001," Baida said. "A friend called me when 'In the Heights' came out and said, 'You have to audition for this show. It has your name written all over it.' I had given up my Broadway dreams. But even my boss pestered me for about a year. He finally bought me a ticket to see the show. As much as I did love seeing it, I said I still wasn't interested, and I was happy what I was doing."
But when his friend called again to say auditions for "In the Heights" would be held at lunchtime in the near future, Baida swallowed his pride, paid his Equity back dues, and showed up — heart in hand — at the audition.
"Now here I am," he said. "It's pretty amazing. I was kind of thrust back into musical theater unexpectedly, and I had pretty much given up on myself. It just goes to show — sometimes your friends believe in you more than you do. It's funny now because everyone says to me, 'You were born to be this part.'"
Far from a New York native, Baida grew up in Orange County and attended UC Irvine, which he credits with giving him the bravery to go to New York to try his hand on the "Great White Way," a nickname for a stretch of Broadway in Midtown Manhattan.
"UCI was a really great training ground for me," Baida said. "I actually went to UCI as a voice major, so I studied classical voice for two years, and it was an amazing experience. It wasn't really what I wanted to do, opera; I wanted to go into theater. So I switched to drama and loved it, and the great thing about UCI is that they have a great musical theater program there, so I did that and found that it was a perfect mix.
"They have a program where you study in New York for a month. Basically, I worked it out that I would graduate while I was there. I worked with amazing Broadway chorographers, dancers and voice teachers. That actually gave me the courage to audition there. I decided that if I got a job, I would stay. Thankfully, I did. I've been there 15 years."
Baida grew up in Cerritos. His parents have since moved to Lake Elsinore.
"This show is my parents' story, and I when I saw it, I knew that my parents were going to have a very gut-like reaction to it," Baida said. "They didn't get to see it until we opened in L.A. I wanted them to see me onstage at the Pantages. I wanted my parents to see that all their sacrifice for their kids were worth it.

The Secret Circle
The Secret Circle Recap of Season 1, Episode 18 "Sacrifice": Wicked Games
Ladies, clutch your pearls. Demon worms are back and better than ever! By which we mean they're probably crawling through your forehead right now. This week's episode of The Secret Circle might just be our very favorite – after all, it isn't often that we witness the studly trifecta that is Jake, Adam, and Blackwell.
Love Potion No. 9
Let's be honest: Cadam have had it rough. After weeks of sexy spellgasms, forbidden dew drops and dead bird sex, Adam (Thomas Dekker) basically wants nothing to do with Cassie (Britt Robertson), and it's all thanks to a tainted love potion. Unfortunately, she's still totally obsessed with him, and as a result spends most of the episode making this face.
Meanwhile, Adam's too busy making eyes at the real love of his life to care about pigeon fornication with Cassie. Call us crazy, but it looks like this boy's crushing on Diana (Shelley Hennig), but she's moved on to a lad from the land Down Under. Diana still has the hots for Grant, who boats into town and promptly asks her out on a date. They head over to an ice skating rink where Grant gives Diana a private lesson (cough, in tonsil hockey, cough), and it looks like they might just be a match made in muggle heaven! But there's always more to a stud than meets the eye....
Over at the Boathouse, Melissa (Jessica Parker Kennedy) and Faye (Phoebe Tonkin) agree to help Adam plan a party for the school hockey team, but they can't resist practicing a little Circle magic while they're at it. Adam taps into his inner ventriloquist and helps Melissa impress a jock by feeding her lines with his mind! In an effort to one-up her bestie, Faye makes Adam help her score a double bullseye in darts, also with his mind. Unfortunately, when said jock's girlfriend shows up, Adam becomes irrationally enraged and punches him in the face. Way to be a feminist, Adam! Next thing we know this guy will be burning his bras.
Double-Damaged Demonic Danger
So, what's Jake (Chris Zylka) up to while the rest of the gang eye-sex randos? Oh, just punching a stealthy witch hunter named Samuel, who wanders into Chance Harbor to deliver a message to John Blackwell. Turns out Eben's resurrecting demons, and you know what that means: Nick Armstrong could come back into our lives at anytime! We're so excited, we're so excited, we're so... scared.
And we're not alone. As soon as Blackwell hears that Eben's accomplice is in town, he heads over to Cassie's house and proceeds to bitch slap Samuel until he admits that Eben's working with "a witch." Samuel also reveals that Blackwell summoned demons 16 years ago and sacrificed one of his homies in the process! Don't worry, fan-girls, that doesn't necessarily make him evil. When Cassie questions her pops, he explains that Amelia roped up the demons he resurrected before they hurt anyone. Ummm, is now not a good time to mention Heather Barnes? You know, that girl who got turned into a demon and was run over by a giant SUV? Awkward.
In any case, there's clearly a crisis at hand, so Blackwell tells Cassie and Jake to gather the Circle and meet him at the abandoned house – only to ditch them for some alone time with Samuel in a graveyard! Unfortunately, Samuel gets infected by a pesky demon worm along the way – but don't worry, John Blackwell is well versed in How To Deal With Demons 101. He draws a circle in the dirt to keep Samuel at bay, which seems to work until Eben pops up out of nowhere and knocks Blackwell out. Oh yes he did!
While the rest of the Circle gather in panic, Diana wanders down to the docks to meet up with Grant and finds out that he's been lying to her about owning a boat. Sigh, we had a feeling this guy was too good to be true. Di sulks off to drown her tears in a cup of coffee, until Cassie convinces her to come to an emergency meeting in the clubhouse. After a few snarky minutes of hang-time, Cassie realizes that Blackwell stood them up, and the whole gang wander out into the night. Thank god for witch GPS.
Meanwhile, in the middle of nowhere, Eben's in the process of cutting open his hands when the Circle arrive and accidentally unleash Samuel from his line-drawing. Cassie taps into her dark magic and lights Sam on fire, but this only gives him more power and he starts choking her. Seriously, this gal cannot go one episode without being choked by either a ghost or worm. Luckily, John Blackwell wakes up from his cat nap and proceeds to set his palms ablaze, which causes Samuel to explode into goo while a bunch of worms travel up Eben's body. The Circle are too distracted by Blackwell's secret magic to bother with Eben, so they let him wander off through the field, presumably to kill a few randoms. Sigh, it's not like the police will notice anyway.
After a busy night of crime-stopping, the whole crew head back to the clubhouse for a pep talk courtesy of Blackwell, and he tells them all about his love for pet rocks. Turns out there are six crystals, and if they can be found, the witch hunters will be gone forever. Apparently, Blackwell's motivational speech makes everyone feel better about the fact that there are demon people trying to kill them, and they all head back to their respective homes for The Secret Circle's weekly end-of-episode montage. Here's what goes down: Diana half-heartedly agrees to give Grant another chance, Cassie forlornly marvels at Adam's eyelashes of glory, and John Blackwell digs up a grave. Just a typical evening!

LONDON: Four demonstrators from the anti-capitalist Occupy movement on Sunday chained themselves to the pulpit in London's St Paul's cathedral, a year on from the group's protest camp outside the famous church.
David Ison, Dean of St Paul's, said "four young women dressed in white" made their move during his evening prayer.
Cathedral staff told police they were happy to allow the protest but officers remained outside the building to monitor a separate demonstration by Occupy activists.
This group unfurled a large banner reading "throw the money changers out of the temple" on the cathedral steps.
A spokesman for the protest group -- which set up a now-dismantled camp outside the cathedral on October 15 last year -- said the demonstrators were not planning to move.
Occupy London in a statement said they were working with Christianity Uncut, a group fighting against public spending cuts, to call for the famous church to "stop sitting on the fence and join the fight against rising inequality."
The dean said he and a member of Occupy Faith, the group's religious wing, were leading a prayer when the protest began.
"It will be a long cold night if they want to stay there," he said.
"I'm just sorry they have decided to do this, which makes it hard for members of Occupy Faith, who have been working together with us on something which is respectful."
Police tore down the protest camp in February, arresting 20 people.
The church has been torn between those who oppose the camp and those who believe it should support demonstrations against London's finance industry.

The Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation now says it is in the process of decentralising testing services for the Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) Tuberculosis to ease congestion at the central TB testing unit which is based at the Kenya Medical Research Institute.
Minister Beth Mugo revealed on Wednesday that the plan is also expected to provide high quality services to Kenyans and escalate the fight against the disease.
She pointed out that although Kenya has made good progress in the fight against the disease, a lot needs to be done as statistics show that there were over 4,000 deaths last year.
"My ministry, in partnership with the World Bank, is also decentralising TB culture services from the only laboratory in Nairobi to five additional laboratories scattered through out the country," she said. "Through these efforts, services for TB care will be closer to the people than ever before."
She further said that the government has stepped up surveillance for the Multi Drug Resistant TB to stop its spread.
"Surveillance for Drug Resistant types of TB especially MDR which is becoming a major problem in Kenya is also set to improve. MDR TB is perhaps the biggest challenge that we are likely to face in the future. Therefore all efforts must be made to stop it from spreading now and not tomorrow," she stated.
She was speaking ahead of the world TB Day set to take place on Saturday where she stated that measures have also been put in place to enable those going for TB tests to know the results quickly.
"My Ministry has embarked on new measures to further reduce transmission of TB in the community through provision of more rapid and user friendly tests that can produce the results within a day," she said.
A TB patient having the Multi Drug Resistance strain in the meantime narrated how the condition has changed his life.
Speaking at the press briefing, Samuel Irungu said that he has had to cut off ties with his family to avoid infecting them.
"I am a married person and I am forced to separate from my family. I have two children but I cannot stay with them in the same house to avoid infection untill I complete the treatment. I do not even have time to socialise with them or to know their problems well," he recalled.
"Professionally I am a hotelier but I was forced to drop the job first to complete the treatment."
He stated that the drugs are sometimes too strong for his system but he still has to take them.
"These drugs exert a heavy toll on me. I take eighteen tablets every day. In the morning I take 13 and before I sleep I take five. They are all very strong and they are different types," he said.
"At night you cannot sleep. They disturb me very much. When I walk, I feel tired and there are side effects like irregular bowel movements."

Programs & Study Options
Click to expand and collapse each section. Or expand/collapse all.
Knowledge.Students are trained to critically examine the experiences and opportunities of women and men in relation to race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, and nation. Students develop an understanding of masculinity and femininity as historically and culturally specific constructions that shape human development. Students acquire an advanced appreciation of how and why gender influences and is embedded in the division of labor, mechanisms of social control, and major societal institutions including the family, health care, education, law, religion, the workplace, and the media. Students gain important knowledge about historical and contemporary forms of resistance and activism around issues of gender including feminist movements, gay rights movements, men's movements, women's health movements, and others. Students learn about the major themes in feminist theory and applications of feminist theory to real life problems.
Skills.The curriculum consistently reinforces the development of strengthened abilities in writing, critical thinking, group project planning and public speaking. Furthermore, WGS students are required to complete a major research project (WGS 425) that provides them with skills in qualitative data collection and analysis.
Experience in the real world.WGS requires a 4 unit internship. Most students complete this requirement through service in several settings, thereby increasing student experience in different work environments and enhancing their resumes for employment. A complete databank of available internships is maintained and continually updated by the WGS Department. Examples of internships include: Planned Parenthood, United Against Sexual Assault, YWCA, Circle of Sisters, several local elementary and secondary schools, Read to Me Program, Women's Health Resource Center at Sutter Community Hospital, National Women's History Project, and numerous other opportunities.
Ability to double major or minor.WGS encourages students to double major or minor in another discipline. The 44 unit major is designed to effectively and efficiently coordinate the number of units necessary to accomplish these goals.
Preparation for advanced study.Many WGS majors pursue advanced degrees. WGS prepares students by providing a foundation in the major trends in feminist theory and research and research and writing skills. Past students have presented papers at conferences and submitted articles for publication in preparation for graduate school. WGS majors have also spent a semester in a university in another country (Ireland and Australia most recently) providing them with experiences and opportunities valuable to advanced education and career development.

Requirements for a Double Major
The Women's and Gender Studies major is designed to facilitate a Bachelor of Arts degree with a double major in any other major offered as a Bachelor of Arts at SSU. The double major is a strength for any resume, as it provides prospective employers with evidence of substantial undergraduate education in more than one field. The double major is especially encouraged for students who want to combine graduate study in a more traditional discipline or field with an emphasis on gender issues.
The WGS major is a 44-unit series of course. Students pursuing the double major must declare their majors in both departments and must have at least 24 units in each major that do not count for the other major. Academic advising must occur in both departments and WGS faculty will only advise for the WGS major. Please note that departments may differ in the units that they will accept toward a double major and as a result, ongoing advising in both departments is critical for a well organized study plan.

Intel HD Graphics 4000: Processor graphics card in the high end Ivy Bridge models. Offers a different clock speed in the different CPU models (ULV to desktop quad core) and therefore a different performance.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
3517U: Fast Ivy-Bridge-based ULV-CPU in Q2 2012. Offers a core clock of 1.9 - 3.0 GHz and an HD 4000 GPU (350 - 1150 MHz). The TDP is rated at 17 W.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
13.3": This is a common display format for subnotebooks. Netbooks, UMPC and some subnotebooks have tinier displays. Nevertheless, the majority of standard laptops has a higher format. The advantage of a small display is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes, especially with high resolutions.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
1.2 kg: This subnotebook is one of the most lightweight of all notebooks and can be carried very easily. There exist hardly any models in this extreme class of weight. 7-9 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
Samsung: The Samsung Group is composed of numerous international businesses, all united under the Samsung brand in South Korea. The meaning of the Korean word Samsung is "tristar" or "three stars". The Samsung brand is one of the most important brands of South Korea. Samsung is an international notebook manufacturer of medium size according market shares and reviews.
91%: There do not exist many models, which are rated better. The most ratings get ratings, which are a bit worse.

Super Saver - an incredible new service
Hello Everyone,
Some of you know may have noticed that our contribution to the forums has been a little less in the past few weeks, not going much beyond the regular answers to your questions. The main reason, apart from being on a five-month motorcycle trip, has been a total re-evaluation of Teiz Motorsports. A few months back, I started to get the feeling that I am deviating from my original mission statement in some ways. Since this realization, I have taken a step back and totally revamped Teiz Motorsports. Here are some changes you may have recently noticed:
We can now produce orders in 15 days or less
We ship to your doorstep directly from the factory
A new warehouse that provides consistently punctual service
New trial suits that can be shipped to your doorstep for size confirmation.
These are just some of the ways we have been improving service. But what was the original Teiz claim to fame, which was also the title of several forums threads related to Teiz Motorsports? An exceptional riding suit for just $289! I wanted to go back to that but beat all prior expectations along the way. This led to the creation of our Super Saver service.
Super Saver offers your incredible savings, sometimes even more than 50%, in exchange for a bit of a wait. We can make a suit for you in less than 15 days, but if you can wait around 8 weeks to receive the suit, we are able to offer you incredible discounts.
How can we do this? Whats the catch? Are these inferior products?
Materials and quality wise there is absolutely no difference in products that are discounted. The difference is in the supply-chain, logistics, overheads and freight costs.
We have a production team that specifically focuses on suits that need to be completed quickly for factory-direct shipping. The overheads for operating this team are significant. The actual shipping costs are also extremely high (much more than what we charge you). Essentially, the suits are treated as one-offs even though you may have ordered a regular product.
But when you are willing to wait, we produce suits in larger batches which reduces the overhead significantly. Then we import the suits, which is also much cheaper than direct shipping. The savings are significant and we pass them on directly to you.
For all one-piece suits, we highly recommend that you avail our trial service. We have trials sizes available in every size. Trials are free with our Standard service and that includes shipping in both directions!
Due to availability of trial sizes and also the new Super Saver pricing structure, one-piece suits will not be eligible for return or exchange. If you are looking to avail the Super Saver discount, we recommend that you add the trial size option for a nominal fee.
Over this weekend, our entire one-piece range will get the Super Saver update. We intend to bring in the first Super Saver shipment in November so get your orders in quickly especially since you will probably require a trial size as well.
Thank you for your continued support.
