STEUBENVILLE, Ohio (AP) ? The accuser in the rape trial of two Ohio high school football players testified Saturday as the trial neared an end that she recalled drinking at a party last summer but could not remember what had happened when she awoke the next day naked in a strange house.
Testimony in the four-day nonjury trial against Trent Mays and Ma'lik Richmond ended after the judge heard from the 16-old West Virginia girl and others in the juvenile court case. Judge Thomas Lipps said he would announce a decision Sunday.
If found delinquent ? the juvenile court equivalent of guilty ? the two defendants could be held in juvenile jail until they turn 21, when they would be released.
Mays, 17, and Richmond, 16, are charged with digitally penetrating the girl, first in a car and then in the basement of a house, while out partying Aug. 12. Mays also is charged with illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material. They maintain their innocence.
The case has riveted the small city of Steubenville amid allegations that more students should have been charged and led to questions about the influence of the local football team, a source of pride in a community that suffered massive job losses with the collapse of the steel industry.
The allegations were huge locally for weeks, then became the focus of Internet attention in the fall after hacker activists and bloggers began publishing the names of other students. Attention peaked again after a 12-minute YouTube video resurfaced in January in which a student jokes about the girl, calling her "dead" and making numerous off-color remarks.
On the stand Saturday, the girl said she remembers drinking at the party, leaving the party holding hands with Mays, then throwing up later. The next thing she remembers is waking up with no clothes on in a strange house, she said. She said she felt scared and embarrassed. Her phone, earrings, shoes, and underwear were missing, she testified.
"It was really scary," she said. "I honestly did not know what to think because I could not remember anything."
She recalled being in a car later with Mays and Richmond and asking them what happened.
"They kept telling me I was a hassle and they took care of me," she testified. "I thought I could trust him (Mays) until I saw the pictures and video."
She said she believed she was assaulted when she later read text messages among friends and saw a photo of herself that night, and the YouTube video. She said she suspected she had been drugged because she couldn't explain being as intoxicated as defense witnesses have said she was.
The girl testified in a quiet, sometimes hesitant voice, and broke down only once: when prosecutor Marianne Hemmeter showed her a second photo of herself naked that the girl had never seen.
Richmond observed the girl carefully as she spoke while Mays, as he often had during the trial, fidgeted, not appearing to focus on any one thing in the courtroom.
Prosecutors told the judge in closing arguments that the evidence was overwhelming. Hemmeter said that includes the girl's admission of being drunk that night.
"The thing that made her an imperfect witness, that she didn't remember anything, made her a perfect victim," Hemmeter said.
Defense attorneys argued that prosecutors hadn't proven guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
"The reality is, she drank, she has a reputation for telling lies," said Walter Madison, representing Richmond. "When she wakes up and finds out kids have submitted a photo of her on the Internet, she has two choices: saying, 'Yeah, that's me,' or, 'I was having an alcoholic impairment.'"
Earlier Saturday, defense attorneys went after the accuser's character, calling two former friends of hers to the stand. They testified that the girl had a history of drinking heavily and was known to lie about things.
West Virginia high school student Kelsey Weaver said the accuser told her what happened two days after the alleged attack then, sometime afterward, told Weaver she couldn't remember what happened.
"So two different versions?" asked Mays' attorney Adam Nemann.
"Yes," Weaver replied.
Earlier, Weaver testified that the accuser was flirting at the party with Richmond.
Both Weaver and schoolmate Gianna Anile testified they were angry at the accuser because she was drinking heavily at the party and rolling around on the floor. They said they tried unsuccessfully to get her to stop drinking.
Anile said she also tried to get her friend to stay at the party rather than leave with others, including the two defendants.
"When I told her not to leave, I was trying to, like, pull her back into the party. She was trying to shrug me off," Anile testified. "She kind of hit me."
The day after the party, when Anile and another friend picked up the accuser from the house where she'd stayed, the accuser said she had no memory of the night before, Anile testified.
"'We didn't have sex, I swear,'" Anile said, describing the accuser's comment.
The accuser said in her later testimony that she does not remember making that statement, nor being photographed as she was carried by Mays and Richmond, an image that stirred up the community as it spread on social media sites. Others have testified the photo was a joke and the girl was conscious when it was taken.
Testimony Friday from three teenage boys granted immunity incriminated the defendants.
Mark Cole, Evan Westlake and Anthony Craig said the West Virginia girl was drunk and didn't seem to know what was happening to her that night. They said she was digitally penetrated in a car and later on a basement floor.
Cole testified that he took a video of Mays and the girl in the car, then deleted it later that morning. He testified he saw Mays unsuccessfully try to have the girl perform oral sex on him in the basement of Cole's house.
Westlake testified he saw Richmond's encounter with the girl in the basement, as did Craig. Westlake also confirmed that he filmed the 12-minute YouTube video, later passed around widely online, in which another student joked about the attack.
Craig testified that he saw Richmond's hand in the "crotch region" of the girl, a less descriptive version than he gave last fall in another hearing.
If convicted, Mays and Richmond could be held in a juvenile jail until they turn 21.
The Associated Press normally doesn't identify minors charged in juvenile court, but Mays and Richmond have been widely identified in news coverage, and their names have been used in open court. The AP also does not generally identify people who say they were victims of sex crimes.

Broncos safety Quinton Carter facing court date in North Las Vegas casino cheating case
NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Denver Broncos safety Quinton Carter has a court date on felony charges that could get him years in prison for allegedly adding $5 to craps bets after the dice already rolled at a southern Nevada casino.
Defense attorney Andrew Leavitt says the Thursday hearing will be for a North Las Vegas justice of the peace to check the status of negotiations toward resolving the case.
Carter faces three felony charges of fraudulent act in a gaming establishment.
Security officials say he was videotaped adding to three bets at the Texas Station casino.
He has apologized on Twitter for "negative attention" and said he's confident he'll be cleared.
Carter attended high school in North Las Vegas and the University of Oklahoma before starting at free safety for the Broncos in 2011.

BUZZARDS BAY, Mass. -- Junior quarterback Mike Stanton (Quincy, Mass.) completed 22-of-32 passes for 352 yards and three touchdowns, as Massachusetts Maritime amassed a school-record 724 yards of total offense in notching a 35-13 New England Football Conference Bogan Division victory over Westfield State Saturday afternoon at Clean Harbors Stadium.
Stanton staked the host Buccaneers (5-3, 4-2 NEFC Bogan) to a 21-0 advantage in less than 10 minutes of play, as he connected with sophomore Jonathan Wright (Newburyport, Mass.) on a 25-yard touchdown pass on the opening possession of the contest that capped a 10-play, 69-yard drive, and the two hooked up again just over four minutes later on a 78-yard strike (the career longest pass completion and reception for both) that extended Massachusetts Maritime's lead to 14-0. Stanton then found sophomore E.J. Bennett (East Wareham, Mass.) on a 65-yard touchdown pass to give the hosts a three-score cushion, as that completion enabled him to break Derek Gagnon's career passing yards mark with 4,928 yards in 26 career games, as Gagnon held the previous mark of 4,771 set from 1990-93.
Sophomore quarterback John Trudel (Niantic, Conn.) gave the Buccaneers a 28-0 advantage midway through the second stanza after connecting with freshman Drew Girouard (Sagamore Beach, Mass.) on a 13-yard pass that capped an 11-play, 67-yard drive, and the visiting Owls (2-7, 1-5 NEFC Bogan) got on the board with 1:10 remaining in the half when freshman quarterback Erik Washburn (Lisbon, Conn.) found junior Kevin Nicol (Wolcott, Conn.) on a 23-yard touchdown strike. Washburn took advantage of a short field early in the third quarter to connect with junior Jeff Winchell (Scituate, R.I.) on a 13-yard touchdown that cut Westfield State's deficit in half (28-13), but Massachusetts Maritime responded on the ensuing possession by marching 77 yards on nine plays in just 1:35 of clock time, as Trudel's three-yard plunge with 7:42 to play in the third stanza accounted for the final score.
Junior Stefan Gustafson (Plymouth, Mass.) added 172 rushing yards on 13 carries in the triumph for the Buccaneers, who also received 110 rushing yards from senior Barry Reopell (South Dennis, Mass.) as part of a balanced attack that saw Massachusetts Maritime rush for 359 yards and throw for 365 as part of the record-breaking 724 yards of total offense that eclipsed the previous mark of 695 set back on September 22nd against Coast Guard. Wright hauled in seven receptions for 138 yards for the winners, who also received six catches for 109 yards from Bennett. Junior Keith Caruso (Hingham, Mass.) broke the school single-season records for receptions (54) and receiving yards (721), as the previous marks were held by Tim Quinn (53 catches in 1982) and Dan Reading (681 receiving yards in 1999).
Washburn completed 23-of-41 pass attempts for 224 yards to go with his two scores in the setback for Westfield State, including eight connections for 81 yards to Nicol. Freshman Joshua Trainque (Lunenburg, Mass.) added 70 rushing yards on 15 attempts for the Owls, who amassed 358 yards of total offense on the day.
Senior Evan Sheridan (Chelmsford, Mass.) paced Massachusetts Maritime defensively with seven solo tackles and an interception on the afternoon, while fellow senior Eddy Ramos (Sunny Isles, Fla.) added six solo stops as well as his team-leading fifth pick. Senior Nick Mazurkiewicz (Attleboro, Mass.) forced and recovered a fumble for the Buccaneers, who also received two sacks each from senior Kevin Griffin (Worcester, Mass.) and sophomore Zachary Ryan (Danvers, Mass.). The victory enabled the hosts to clinch their third straight winning season, a milestone last completed by Massachusetts Maritime from 1998 through 2000, and the triumph also snapped Westfield State's five-game series win streak that dated back to 2007.
Senior Dan Dowling (Stoneham, Mass.) recorded 15 total tackles (14 solo) and registered a 43.7 yards average (five inside the 20-yard line) on seven punts in the setback for the Owls, who also received 15 tackles (14 solo) from senior Justin Ehrhardt (Stoneham, Mass.). Senior Mike Szydlowski (Wilbraham, Mass.) chipped in with nine solo stops and an interception for the visitors, who also received 10 total tackles (nine solo) from senior Jeff Smith (Whitman, Mass.).
Massachusetts Maritime hosts Bridgewater State in the 34th Annual Cranberry Bowl Presented By Ocean Spray next Saturday afternoon at Clean Harbors Stadium beginning at Noon, while Westfield State hosts Fitchburg State in its New England Football Conference Bogan Division and season finale next Saturday afternoon in Westfield, Mass. that also kicks off at Noon.

Lost Board at 3rd Ave 5/24
Lost a Slingshot Drake 147 at 3rd Ave yesterday (5/24/04). It most likely has a retractable leash and a piece of my harness still attached. Iím pretty sure it washed out into the channel, because I spent several hours looking for it along the path. If anyone finds it please let me know.

Maybe Berman, who's worked at ESPN since almost day one – before the network ruled the sports world and when
half of its programming schedule was filled with Australian rules football matches – simply got his foot in the door because the sports
network was basically starting from scratch.
If you crossed paths with a physician on the sidewalk, your mind likely wouldn't conclude in an instant that the person is a physician.
The same goes for an engineer, a salesperson, a police officer and dozens of other professions. And if you came across people in
these professions in, for example, the grocery store checkout line and you struck up a brief conversation, it's highly unlikely that such a minuscule amount of small talk would spur you to say something like, "Boy, you should be a doctor" or "You should be an engineer."
But in the media business, specifically, the broadcast media business, sometimes first impressions can be more telling. I was at a memorial service recently, and the guy who strolled to the podium and delivered one of the scripture readings was one of the most
polished speakers I've witnessed in some time. He was middle-aged, tall and distinguished looking to boot. Afterward, I inquired about who the guy was, and followed up by saying he just had to be some kind of professional speaker, or maybe worked in television. Not quite, I was told. He was once a church pastor.
Maybe it's the professional circles in which I move, but I often will hear someone speak and instantly assume, often correctly, that the person is in the broadcasting business. They enunciate so well and have such good pace and inflection, I can just tell that they get paid to communicate in some fashion. If they're handsome or pretty, the assumption is they work in front of a camera. If their looks are nothing to write home about, they probably work in radio.
Or, like me, they write. I have a broadcast journalism degree but after a college internship at a TV news station, I was told that I
lacked a "broadcast voice" and a "TV presence." I just didn't "project well" through the lens and to the viewing audience, I was told.
I wonder, on the heels of watching another NFL Draft on ESPN, did anyone ever have the guts or the decency to tell Chris "Boomer" Berman that? Maybe Berman, who's worked at ESPN since almost day one – before the network ruled the sports world and when
half of its programming schedule was filled with Australian rules football matches – simply got his foot in the door because the sports
network was basically starting from scratch.
It's a miracle he's lasted this long. He may have the worst broadcast voice in the history of broadcast history. And when his lungs are desperately short of precious, life-giving air and he insists on polishing off three more sentences without inhaling, it's absolute anguish to witness. Add his annoying habit of yelling words like "What!?" or "Whoop!" and his use of touchdown and home run clichés like, "He…could…go…all…the…way!" and, well, it's like using a belt sander on your face.
In all fairness, being on camera for all those hours during the NFL Draft must be tough. Between all the glitzy promos and graphics-heavy football stats on steroids put together by the ESPN production staff, there's a lot of time to fill, and it falls on Berman's lap, mostly, to keep things chugging along.
But why couldn't someone else be relied on to do that? There was a moment in last week's draft when the Jets were on the clock for their first round pick. Berman ran out of things to say, started scrambling, awkwardly brought up some mundane point, and then kicked it to his sidekicks, John "I want to be the love-child of every player in this draft" Gruden and the admittedly brilliant Mel Kiper. But the camera for some reason didn't switch to Gruden and Kiper when they started talking; after the breathless Berman
gasped his last word, the camera stayed on him and his face slowly contorted into some kind of alien form. I thought that at that moment the screen might go black and television as the world has come to know it would from that point on simply cease to exist. It
may have been the worst thing I've ever seen. Or, forget all the things I've seen in my 43 years…it just might have been the worst
thing, period. In the history of "things" in general, this was rock bottom.
So Berman has to go, right?
Wrong! I used to think so, but no longer.
Berman must stay. The world needs people like Boomer. I need people like Boomer.
I cut off 10 inches of the best mullet in the history of hair to land that internship at WDAY, and after spending a summer saying "Dub-uh-you-D-A-Y News Center Six" on camera instead of the required "Double-you- D-A-Y" I was told I should nix my TV dreams
and stick to writing.
I see Berman gasping and yelling strange words when a running back fumbles the football on TV, and it's a reminder of what could have happened to me. I could be awful and embarrassing on TV...and be paid millions.
Scratch that..he has to go.

Just came from a session at the SES called Black hat/White hat "Unconferenced" hosted by Matt McGowan, Publisher & head of U.S. Incisive Media and Mike Grehan, Global VP Content, SES/Search Engine Watch and ClickZ (believe they are merging). Everyone that came to this session was offered a white hat or a black hat to wear, in my case I got the black.
Not that I am a black hat in the sense that I use under the radar none ethical tactics when marketing online, nobe more because that the size of the black hat fitted my head better. Great session that taught me black hats have bigger heads than white hats or that Matt and Mike did not order enough hats for people with big heads, either way fantastic session and great fun!

Fair Folks & A Goat
We visited a new project in Carnegie Hill that can only be described as an art gallery, retail store, and Parisian salon all in one. Fair Folks & A Goat takes a bold new approach to sharing art with the masses.
With a fresh collection curated by Amy Sande-Friedman (pictured in the wing chair), and the dedication of partners Anthony Mazzei and Aurora Stokowski, the space is chock full of disparate work by young artists, available to you at reasonable prices. The idea here is to encourage discussion. If you schedule an appointment to visit the architecturally-significant showroom, a representative will greet you at the door, pour you a full glass of wine, and share her thoughts on all the pieces in the collection. It's the kind of place where art doesn't merely hang on the walls, but fills the entire space. Everything is available for purchase, including items in the fashion closet, the furniture people sit on, and various other objects.
Some incredible finds are ink drawings by Eliza Stamps, which consist of tiny concentric circles linked up to form larger shapes without ever breaking contact. Also interesting is Crafting Romance by Nora Rabins, a sculpture piece made of vintage cake molds suggesting male and female connection.
Fair Folks aims to create community within and beyond its walls, and to provide meaningful options for networking and collection. People can gather here for any occasion and be surrounded by interesting things. It can easily accommodate bridal or baby showers, birthdays, trunk shows, film viewings and other group meetings.
If you wish to contact Fair Folks, visit the website at fairfolksandagoat.com. Or just send an email to email@example.com about setting up an appointment any weekend day from 1 to 6PM.

Someone please explain to my why a correlation made between intelligence and [cranium size, race, socioeconomic status, any characteristic in general] is such a taboo subject. It's obviously acceptable to say something like, people raised at high altitudes have higher lung capacity, or people of european decent are taller than asians. Granted, intelligence is much more subjective than height/lung capacity, but the fact is, you can meet someone of any race, who will be so much smarter/dumber than you that it will be painfully obvious to anyone who knows the two of you more than in passing. Since differences in intelligence, like any other characteristic, obviously exist between any two given people, why does it bother people so much? Does it frighten people to suggest intelligence is some kind of innate attribute, that education and perseverence can only take one so far?
You're kidding, right?
You're drawing a direct comparison between objective analyses that are statistically predictable and a subjective construct with no possible current empirical basis. The two aren't even remotely analogous. Nobody even knows what "intelligence" is, nevermind how to measure it.
And even then, these relative differences are spread across all races. If we disregard all cultural factors and focus strictly on the genetics of "intelligence" (which, by the way, is still a very hazy area of study), then it is likely we would find that people of all races start from a similar slate. There is nothing to suggest that race plays a significant factor in some sort of "innate intelligence".In short, your argument is weak, as are any alternatives you're likely to present.

Parker targets Europa League glory
Tottenham midfielder Scott Parker admitted he would take more personal satisfaction from winning the Europa League than finishing in the top four of the Premier League this season.
• Blog: Why Spurs fans should be cheering Chelsea in cups
Ahead of Thursday night's Europa League quarter-final against FC Basel at White Hart Lane, Parker conceded the desire to crown his career with a major trophy usurps the club's eagerness to qualify for next season's Champions League.
After manager Andre Villas-Boas insisted both targets are attainable in the final few weeks of the campaign, Parker claimed he would glean more satisfaction from winning a European trophy in the Amsterdam final next month.
"As a player, there is nothing more rewarding than going to a final and lifting a trophy," he stated. "From the outset our target has been the top four this season, but for me, personally, a European trophy would be something to look back on more.
"I can't remember the last time Spurs won a trophy, so for fans it will be very special. It would show that the club are moving in right direction. We have a manager who has won this competition before, who knows what is needed, so that has to help as well.
"Every one of us in our changing room wants to go on and try to win something. The Europa League is a big competition, with big teams in it, and if you win it, you've done well."
Villas-Boas has been criticised for playing full strength Tottenham side's in the Europa League this season, with the perception that his commitment to the competition could affect the club's desire to return to the Champions League next season often aired.
However, Parker suggested a cup victory would be good for the mentality of the club, as they look to establish themselves as one of the rising giants of the English game.
"Winning is a habit and losing can become a habit as well," he said. "You look at the top teams and when they play sides at the bottom of the league, you take it for granted that they are going to win those games. We need to get to that stage and we are getting there.
"It is all about grinding out results. Sometimes you don't play well and don't deserve to win, but if you come off with the three points, that is all people care about. It is all about results at this stage of the season and we have to grind them out.
"I am confident we can keep going to the end of the season. Don't forget we finished fourth last year and only missed out on the Champions League because Chelsea won it. I am confident we grind out results and stay where we are in the league."
Parker has picked up some silverware before in his lengthy career, yet he was very much a bit part player in Chelsea's Premier League and Carling Cup triumphs back in 2005 and conceded the medals he has have long since been misplaced.
"I was at Chelsea when we won the Premier League and Carling Cup, so I saw what those days do for the fans and for your family," he added. "I was injured for the final but I went along so I have some sort of understanding of how good those days are.
"It's fair to say I didn't really feel part of Chelsea's successes. The Carling Cup was a bit different as I played in a few games so I thought I contributed, but I still didn't feel it at the bottom of my heart and it was the same with the league title. I didn't feel I had any sort of contribution towards it.
"I got a Premier League medal as there were four of us that didn't play enough games, but I think the club got a replica medal. I seriously wouldn't have a clue where it is. That says a lot about what it means to me."

Michigan can take up to 7 more players in this class per Sam Webb
I don't know how this is possible considering that would give us 29 players in this class which I thought was not allowed by the B1G. 28 was the reported limit but I trust Sam. The ideal finish to this class would be Green, Treadwell, Dawson, McQuay, Hill, Hunt, and Jaynard Bostwick.

Bill Littlejohn, an animator whose work ranged from MGM's "Tom and Jerry" shorts and the independent films of John and Faith Hubley to the popular "Peanuts" specials, died Friday night of natural causes at his home in Malibu. He was 96.
Born in Newark, N.J., in 1914, Littlejohn began his animation career in 1931. "Fear of starving led me to animation — those were Depression days," he recalled in a 1985 interview. "I had no art training, but learned animation from a do-it-yourself kit. I had an aunt who worked in the camera department of the Van Beuren Studios in New York, where I got my first job."
Littlejohn began as a cel washer, cleaning the clear sheets of acetate that the characters were inked and painted on so they could be reused in other cartoons. But he quickly moved up the ranks to animator, working on Van Beuren's now largely forgotten series "Toonerville Trolley," "Parrotville" and a short-lived cartoon adaptation of the hit radio show "Amos and Andy."
Although he later dismissed these films as "no damn good," Littlejohn said he enjoyed animating the parrots slipping and sliding around: "I could whip the characters around in the kind of wild action I loved to do."
In 1935, Littlejohn left New York and animation to pursue a degree in aeronautical engineering in Los Angeles. But he found his co-workers at Lockheed boring ("they talked about rivets"), and in 1937 joined the animation unit at MGM, where he worked on the "Happy Harmonies" cartoons and the Oscar-winning "Tom and Jerry" series.
During the late '30s and early '40s, Littlejohn became active in the movement to unionize the animation industry and helped organize the watershed strike at the Walt Disney Studio in 1941.
"Bill Littlejohn was the last of the dynamic Hollywood union organizers of the 1930s and '40s," Tom Sito, president emeritus of the Hollywood Animation Guild Local No.839, said. "His activism did much to build the standard of living studio animators have today."
During World War II, Littlejohn did freelance animation for the MGM and Walter Lantz studios while serving in the Army as a test pilot. After the war, he did his most famous animation for independent filmmakers and television studios and worked on numerous commercials for Playhouse Pictures, Jay Ward Productions, Fine Arts Films and others. His acclaimed animation of a character that was part car and part cat for the Uni-Royal "Tiger Paws" spots remains popular on YouTube decades later.
Littlejohn was a principal animator on the many "Peanuts" specials and features by Bill Melendez Productions. He drew Snoopy's most outrageous antics and said he particularly enjoyed a sequence in "Snoopy, Come Home" (1972) in which a frenetic little girl ties up the hapless beagle, changes his name to "Rex" and gives him a bath.
Some of Littlejohn's best-known work was done for the husband-and-wife team of John and Faith Hubley. He did the principal animation for their Oscar-winning short "The Hole" (1962), in which two New York street workers debate the possibilities of nuclear war. He contributed to "The Hat," "Of Stars and Men," "Enter Life" and many other films, and animated Zonker Harris placing daisies in the muzzles of National Guardsmen's rifles in the Oscar-nominated "A Doonesbury Special" (1977), John Hubley's last film.
Throughout his long career, Littlejohn remained a passionate advocate of animation as an art form. In the mid-'60s, he was one of the founders of the International Tournées of Animation, a program of shorts from around the world that played at museums throughout the United States and helped organize the Olympiad of Animation for the 1984 Olympic Arts Festival. Littlejohn co-founded ASIFA/Hollywood, the local chapter of the international animation society, and received its "Annie" award for career achievement in 1981. He served as president of the Screen Cartoonists Guild and represented the short films branch on the Board of Governors of the Motion Picture Academy from 1988 to 2001.
Littlejohn's wife of 61 years, artist and actress Fini Rudiger Littlejohn, died in 2004. He is survived by a son and a daughter, Steve Littlejohn and Toni Littlejohn, and three grandchildren.
Bill Littlejohn, an animator whose work ranged from MGM's "Tom and Jerry" shorts and the independent films of John and Faith Hubley to the popular "Peanuts" specials, died Friday night of natural causes at his home in Malibu. He was 96.

The latex agglutination test is a laboratory method to check for certain
How the Test is Performed
The test depends on what type of sample is needed.
- For a urine sample, see
urine collection -- clean catchor urine collection (infants).
- For a blood sample, see
- For a cerebrospinal fluid sample, see
CSF collection.
The sample is sent to a lab, where it is mixed with latex beads coated with a specific antibody or antigen. If the suspected substance is present, the latex beads will clump together (agglutinate).
Latex agglutination results take about 15 minutes to an hour.
How to Prepare for the Test
Your health care provider may tell you to limit certain foods or medications shortly before the test to ensure accurate test results.
Why the Test is Performed
This test is a quick way to determine the absence or presence of an antigen or antibody. Your health care provider will base any treatment decisions, at least in part, on the results of this test.
Normal Results
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to yourhealth care providerabout the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
If there is an antigen-antibody match, agglutination will occur.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - ArcelorMittal, the world's largest steelmaker, forecast improvement this year after a wretched 2012 in which sliding European demand and a Chinese slowdown pushed it into a loss.
The Luxembourg-based company said on Wednesday it expected steel shipments overall to be between 2 and 3 percent higher in 2013 than last year and margins per tonne to improve slightly over the course of the year due to a cost saving plan.
It said core profit (EBITDA) would be higher this year than the $7.08 billion of 2012, the second lowest level since the company was formed in 2006.
Chief Executive Lakshmi Mittal said that 2012 had been a difficult year for steel, particularly in Europe, where demand had fallen by 8.8 percent, prompting a number of steps to reduce capacity and cut debt.
ArcelorMittal made a net loss of $3.73 billion for the year, largely the result of a $4.3 billion hit in the fourth quarter from writing down the value of its European steel business.
Investors already knew that ArcelorMittal had slashed its proposed dividend, sold assets and raised $4 billion in shares and convertibles to cut debt after losing its investment grade status.
Steel industry body Eurofer believes European steel demand is likely to fall further this year after a sharp drop in 2012, according to its quarterly survey published on Tuesday.

Montville losing four, maybe five, police officers
Montville - Since June, one Montville Police Department officer has left, three more are on their way out the door, and the status of a fifth officer is up in the air, according to Lt. Leonard Bunnell.
Patrol Officer Matthew Orr left the department in June and on July 1 started as a patrol officer in Reading, Mass., the Reading police department confirmed Thursday. On the heels of his departure, patrol officers Robert Bedard and Andrew Nemeth and Sgt. Ernest Greenwood all have indicated plans to leave, according to Bunnell. Bunnell said that the department is unsure what the outcome will be with a workers' compensation situation with an officer whom he would not name.
Orr said he took the job in Reading because it allowed him and his wife to move closer to her family and because the department provided him with better pay and more opportunity to rise in rank. He said the department had more than 40 officers, making it roughly double the size of Montville's department.
"It was the right move for me and my wife. It has nothing to do with what's going on (in Montville,)" he said. He said he has a lot of friends in Montville's police department.
The Reading department is an independent police department. Montville police, in contrast, answer to a state police resident trooper.
Bunnell said that the other officers are moving on for various reasons. He said Bedard was moving to South Carolina for family reasons, Nemeth was planning to pursue a higher education degree outside of law enforcement, and Greenwood planned to join Mohegan Tribal Police as a patrol officer. He said the Mohegan police offered a more competitive pay scale than Montville.
Bunnell blamed the change in command on the fact that the department answers to state police rather than being independent, and said that staff make less money at the department than in other departments throughout the state.
"Officers are basically constables," he said. "Over the years, the state has ended loopholes … . It still hasn't changed that we have a resident trooper."
He said that the department has gone through 30 troopers in 37 years, which he said creates an unstable atmosphere. In June, state police transferred Sgt. Marty Martinez from his position as Montville's resident trooper to a patrol sergeant position in Colchester. Sgt. James Smith is now the town's resident trooper.
The town recently conducted a study on why officers were leaving, and the Town Council is in the process of forming a committee to analyze results of the study, according to Bunnell.
Mayor Ronald McDaniel said the loss of three officers in close succession "just seemed to happen that way." The town is "in the hiring process" and has not yet determined who will replace the officers, he said.
Montville Public Safety Commission member James Moran said that losing numerous officers at once was not abnormal in the region.
"It's not unusual. Have you been watching what's going on with the New London Police Department? They've been leaving in droves," he said.
He went on to say that he knew of no issues at the Montville department that would drive officers to leave.
"They have it the best they've ever had it right now," he said, commenting that officers were working in a new police station and that the department recently acquired three new police cruisers. Moran noted that he mostly deals with upper management in the department and not with the patrol officers.

That performance was second only to his 377 passing yards against Appalachian State in 1997 ... Wells also led the rushing attack with 65 yards on nine carries against Furman.

Cecil Moore is the only receiver to catch at least one pass in every game this season ... Corey Martin has made five catches in five of the first eight games ... Todd Wells has thrown at least one touchdown in six of the first eight games.
Home-Dome Advantage ... ETSU has won 11 of its last 13 home games ... ETSU is 24-7 during the last five years in the Mini-Dome ... The Bucs are 2-1 in 2000, 5-1 last fall, 4-1 in 1998, 3-3 in 1997, 6-1 in 1996 and 4-0 in 1995 ... ETSU is 67-63-1 all time in the Dome.
Against Wofford ...ETSU leads the all-time series, 13-7 ... Last years Terrier win snapped a two-game win streak by ETSU ... ETSU leads the series 7-4 in Johnson City ... The series is tied 3-3 in the Mini-Dome ... The last time these teams squared off in Memorial Center, ETSU prevailed 45-24.

Sims led the rushing offense with 50 yards on eight carries, while Wells went 18-of-31 for 197 yards ... Rahim El Amin made a team-high 13 stops.
Variety of Scores ... ETSU has scored in numerous ways this season ... Aside from nine rushing touchdowns and seven passing scores, the Bucs have scored on a fumble recovery and a blocked punt ... In the season-opener at Liberty, linebacker Rahim El Amin recovered a punt in the endzone ... Against Western Carolina, cornerback Howard Nix returned a blocked punt 31 yards for a touchdown.
Turnovers, Turnovers, Turnovers ... ETSU tied a season-high with five turnovers forced against Furman ... The Bucs also forced five at Liberty ... Linebacker Russ Lindgren made his team-leading fourth interception against the Paladins ... Linebacker Rahim El Amin forced three of the turnovers; tipping one pass to Ryan Vaughn, hitting the quarterback on Lindgrens pick and forcing a Louis Ivory fumble at the goal line ... The Bucs have made at least one interception in each of the first seven games.
A Program First ... For the first time in ETSU football history, a quarterback ran for 100+ yards and passed for 200+ yards when Todd Wells ran for 108 and threw for 238 in a 38-3 win against VMI (Sept. 16).
Linebacker U? ... East Tennessee State hopes to have an All-America linebacker for the fourth consecutive season ... each of the last four years the Bucs have enjoyed a stellar linebacking corps ... gone from last years squad are two-time All-America Kevin Peterson (1998-99) and All-Southern Conference player Derek Fudge ... taking over in the middle this year is All-America candidate Rahim El Amin and All-Southern Conference candidate Cory Bolden ... linebacker Mario Hankerson earned All-America honors in 1997.
More than a Passing Frenzy ... Quarterback Todd Wells has thrown for over 200 yards in five of the first eight games this season ... Wells passed for 283 at Liberty, 238 against VMI, 221 at Western Carolina, 275 at The Citadel and 336 vs. Furman ... It was the third time in his career that Wells passed for 300+ yards ... Wells eclipsed 200 yards passing once last year -- 217 in a 38-10 win against Western Carolina.
In the Southern Conference ... The Bucs are 59-104 (21 seasons) in league games since joining the SoCon in 1979 ... Their best finish was second in 1996 when ETSU finished 7-1 in the league ... ETSU is 28-22 since 1994 and have been above .500 every year except 1998 (3-5) in that span ... The Bucs are 15-15 under Coach Paul Hamilton ... ETSU is 3-3 in the SoCon so far this fall.
Winning Season ... ETSU is playing for its third winning season in the past four years ... The Bucs finished last season 6-5 and went 7-4 in 1997 -- head coach Paul Hamiltons first campaign ... If the Bucs finish above .500 in 2000 it would be the fourth time in the past five years they accomplished the feat.
Leader of the Ship ... Fourth-year head coach Paul Hamilton has a 21-20 (.512) career record ... With the 20-7 win at The Citadel, Hamilton became the fastest to 20 career victories in program history ... With his next victory, Hamilton will have amassed the most victories in four seasons of any ETSU coach ... Hamilton is ETSUs 16th head coach.

text: Is there any reason not to? I can't think of one. It's interesting to see just how fast decomposition starts as you lift the mats of leaves off the trail. We certain,y have some mixed views on the subject in my area, but it seems to me that the leaves are the organic material that we don't want on our trails. They hold water on the trail. Obscuring the trail makes for more braids when people can't tell where the trail goes. When I am blowing the trails, I am blowing the main line only which helps define it and makes alternate lines less eye-catching. I've heard people say that the leaves are good because they slow down water moving on the trail - if that's the case, isn't the trail the problem, and not the leaves?

I am not too sure about this one. I cannot download anything from the net, if I do try I am directed straight to my desktop folder. The windows download box doesn't show up. I have tried virus scanners, spyware removers, all to no avail.
I checked my task manager and I noticed a process running that was causing my computer to max out, the process name is ocuvlbb.exe, I have tried searching on this and nothing comes up. I tried using the ultimate troubleshooter and it cannot give me any details about this program. I tried to end the process and it clicked straight back up again.
Any help would be appreciated,

Shares of lab services company Quest Diagnostics were steadily climbing at midday Thursday in the wake of two glowing reports from Goldman Sachs, which upped its rating on the company to "buy".
Quest /quotes/zigman/171542 /quotes/nls/dgx DGX shares made a quick climb shortly after the open and continued to surge throughout the morning session to$59.70 in recent action, up more than 4%.
Quest, which had been rated neutral, got its ratings upgrade from analyst Isaac Ro. Quest's earnings should climb with the implementation of the health-care overhaul next year, Ro said. He added the company will benefit from new management, could see an improvement in capital allocation and is poised to receive royalties on a drug from Pharmacyclics Inc. /quotes/zigman/53242 /quotes/nls/pcyc PCYC
Ro also upped his rating on Laboratory Corp. of America Holdings /quotes/zigman/258903 /quotes/nls/lh LH to neutral from sell and now dubs the sector as "attractive."
"We think the Street is not yet modeling the impact of [health-care reform] and we believe pricing concerns are overblown. Near term, we believe [health-care reform] will be neutral to revenues but beneficial to bad debt. Long term, we believe [health-care reform] will drive share towards the low-cost providers," which includes Quest and Laboratory Corp., Ro said in his report.
Ro also co-authored a report on the health industry in general, and included much of his comments on Quest in that paper.

Well, it's out. Somebody leaked the 2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible ahead of its scheduled Detroit Auto Show debut and we're tickled purple. Sorry, that was bad.
Moving on: the 2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible has been fitted with, like the hardtop version, a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter W12 engine producing 616 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Delightfully, all 616 ponies are sent to all four corners of the car through a rear-based Torsen center differential. All these mouth-watering performance bits underneath the stunning bodywork will rocket the 2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible from 0-60 in under five seconds and onto a top speed of around 200 MPH.
The Convertible is the most recent Bentley to be updated with the company's new looks – and we love it. Bentleys of late just looked like cars. Meaning, they didn't stand out the way, say, a Rolls Royce did. They just looked like big…cars. Now, however, they are sporting a bit more sharp and lean, despite having been lowered 10mm and widened a bit. Accenting the new lowered body are some imposing 21-inch alloys, which have been wrapped in Pirelli P Zero high-performance tires.
Based upon the photos we grabbed from Motor Authority, the 2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed Convertible looks better than ever. While these stats are simply preliminary, we should know all the nitty-gritty details soon. And when we do, we'll be sure to bring them to you.

Web Business Monthly
If you've begun using your business' Web address for email, you may have noticed a frustrating aspect of using multiple addresses--checking mail at different places.
A popular solution is to use POP3 to route mail from multiple accounts into a common mail manager (i.e. Microsoft Outlook) on your desktop. This functionality is built into Register.com's email service, and available through many others. Even Yahoo! email accounts offer POP3, although they charge a small upgrade fee to use it. Apart from convenience, routing your multiple email addresses to Outlook allows you to use more sophisticated features than many Web-based email accounts offer.
If you prefer the flexibility of an email account that you can check from anywhere, you can usually route mail from other sources to your Web-based account. If you use Register.com's Web-based email, the "external mail" area of the "Preferences" section tells you how to do this. You can also forward Register.com mail to other Web-based mail clients (i.e. Yahoo! mail).
There's one downside...
Be careful when you reply to email routed from multiple addresses. Unless you're vigilant, your return address may not match the one to which the original message was sent.

The LMK03000 family of precision clock conditioners combine the functions of jitter cleaning/reconditioning, multiplication, and distribution of a reference clock. The devices integrate a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO), a high performance Integer-N Phase Locked Loop (PLL), a partially integrated loop filter, and up to eight outputs in various LVDS and LVPECL combinations.
The VCO output is optionally accessible on the Fout port. Internally, the VCO output goes through a VCO Divider to feed the various clock distribution blocks.
Each clock distribution block includes a programmable divider, a phase synchronization circuit, a programmable delay, a clock output mux, and an LVDS or LVPECL output buffer. This allows multiple integer-related and phase-adjusted copies of the reference to be distributed to eight system components.
The clock conditioners come in a 48-pin WQFN package and are footprint compatible with other clocking devices in the same family.

by Punchy » Thu Dec 12, 2013 12:51 pmWith Infinity over with, it's time for the Mighty Avengers to move on from being a team thrown together on the fly, to an actual Avengers group. Al Ewing starts that process now, whilst at the same time doing a cool job of reflecting Inhumanity and continuing to tease out the true identity of Spider Hero/Ronin (even though it's already been spoiled).
The issue begins with the introduction of this storyline's villain, (at least, I think he's meant to be a villain) Jason Quantrell, who is the head of some shady corporation called Cortex. What's interesting here is that Qantrell's personal security guard is one of the people who recently underwent Terrigenesis, and now has the ability to slow down time, which she uses to break into the sunken remains of Attilan to steal Inhuman tech that Quantrell and Cortex can use for nefarious means.
As for the actual Mighty Avengers, Luke is setting them up in the Gem Theater, which is of course, his original base of operations back when he was Power Man and first doing his heroing for hire thing. Al Ewing really is impressing me with his character work in this series, and all the conversations between all of the characters are just golden. Even though his take on Superior Spider-Man is a bit more over-the-top than Slott's, it is very funny, and it works well in a team setting. The scene where everyone talks about why Spider-Man has changed was a little bit on the nose, but the idea that he read Atlas Shrugged and became a jerk is just genius, I bet Otto is an objectivist.
I also really enjoyed the scene where the Falcon joined the team, and he expressed exasperation at always being seen as Captain America's sidekick by everyone. I must admit, I personally do kind of view Falcon as a supporting character of Captain America, so it's going to be very cool indeed to see him strike out a bit on his own in this series, and be more than just Cap's buddy, especially since he's making his movie debut soon, albeit, as a supporting character of Captain America. The one page that explained what Blue Marvel is up to was great as well, not only did it demonstrate his global power-set (he's in Germany!), but also his high intelligence (he speaks fluent German!), and a cool look at the wider Marvel Universe, with a guest-appearance from Hauptmann Deutschland of all characters. Ewing is of course a Brit, so it's very cool to have him show some European stuff in the Marvel Universe, which can be forgotten.
The Spider Hero mystery continues to deepen, as he consults in private with Kaluu, an immortal magician, and we get some explanation for why this character is hiding his face, as he needs to keep his presence hidden from a mysterious group called 'The Walkers'. It also seems like he knows Luke Cage's dad, which is strange indeed. Spider Hero asks for help to find The Walkers, and he, like Quantrell, is pointed in the direction of Attilan. It turns out that these Walkers are making sure that Attilan stays floating in the Hudson river as part of their evil plans, and I'm excited to see their plot, along with Quantrell's Inhuman agent, collide with the Mighty Avengers. Spider Hero asks the rest of the team to go with him to Attilan, but first up, he needs a new outfit. Luckily, Luke and Jessica still have a box of Hawkeye's old clothes lying around (how great is it that, thanks to Fraction's Hawkeye, that doesn't seem too convenient? Clint is the type of guy to just leave shit at his friend's house), and he is suited and booted as Ronin, which looks totally awesome, especially under a leather jacket (which, now that I think about it, is a big clue to Ronin's true identity).
So, the Mighty Avengers are off to Attilan, but interestingly, Luke isn't going with, he has a meeting with his Lawyer to help set up the Mighty Avengers legally. It looks like this Lawyer is going to be She-Hulk, and that's how she's going to join the team, but since when did She-Hulk and Luke Cage date? Jessica mentions they are exes, but I don't remember that at all, is it from the 80s? I think it's a cool idea, but it's new to me. But before Luke can go meet Shulkie, he's got Spider-Man to deal with, as SpOck returns to The Gem, with a Spider-Bot in tow, demanding to be made team leader. As I said before, Ewing's Superior Spidey is not exactly subtle, but it's working, and it's adding a cool sense of discord amongst the team.
This series really is working for me now, the sense of humour is spot on, the characters are all written really well, and written as human beings, and I have to say, Greg Land's art is looking pretty damn good. If you've slept on this book because you didn't think you needed another Avengers title in your life, think again, because this is good stuff.
by Chesscub » Thu Dec 12, 2013 1:06 pm
Jen probably went and did Luke after she banged Cain Marko
by Greg » Thu Dec 12, 2013 1:48 pmI recall they dated in an old series they were both in together.
This book is awesome. I'm loving Spider Ock.
by Stephen Day » Mon Dec 16, 2013 9:02 pmI agree with what Punchy said here.
I loved the way the Falcon was written. I loved Black Marvel's interlude (the Terror Hives of W.E.S.P.E. - awesome ). I loved Spider Hero becoming the new Ronin. I loved the mystery of the Deathwalkers. There was just so much to love about this issue.
by LobsterJ » Mon Dec 16, 2013 9:29 pmLuke Cage and Shulkie briefly dated in the 90's Heroes for Hire team book.
by BubbaKanoosh » Mon Dec 16, 2013 9:30 pmThis book is fun, more fun then I thought it would be...
I haven't read this issue yet, is Land still the artist?
by Stephen Day » Mon Dec 16, 2013 9:51 pm
Greg Land is the credited penciller for this issue.
by BubbaKanoosh » Mon Dec 16, 2013 9:54 pmGaah...
He is the only thing keeping this from being perfect...
by Draco x » Mon Dec 16, 2013 10:06 pmNice review as this sounds like a good read.

Gahhh really Pandora? You cockblock Godou when he finally gets an authority....? D: Is it cause Circe fell in love with him and she disapproved or something? I've only read as far as volume 8, skipped vol8ch4, and skipped around on some of the volumes.

Verethragna was already exhausted from his fight with Melqart's clubs and Prometheus' flames, not to mention Erica cutting his arm off. And according to Melqart he had to forge the blade to handle Kothar-wa-Kharsis as well in the unseen battle.

It would be nice to see that, since the Boar as already claimed at least two Gods (okay one of them was Ama no Murakumo, but still there were two already claimed by the Boar and one reduced to ectoplasm form so it would be nice to see the strongest weapon on Godous arsenal to actually behave like that)

I think what happeed here was because he shifted the focus to the locusts at the last second making the stallion incapable of finishing Melqart for good.
Besides correct me if Im wrong but the astral form has even been used against other Campiones like Luo Hao

And although I wasn't arguing about the Stallion killing Melqart, I was more irritated that he survived as a floating ball of ectoplasm that could still land a hit .. let alone how that ties into his authorities as a God. And if we're going to talk about exhaustion, he was both slashed by the sword and fighting the Boar for a while as well.
Anyways, I still love Campione! very much, but I have no illusions about its perfection. Part of my love for this series and story is the world-building, I just feel a little irked about the author not being entirely "fair" to the world he himself created. The worlds and characters in good stories are living things that tend to resist when an author tries to arbitrarily change things for their own convenience..
Outlook remains positive

I don't think Melqart broke a sweat against the Boar actually, he is the prototype for Heracles after all.
As for his clubs, they were already summoned and out in the air, so having enough energy to launch a final attack isn't implausible. Besides, getting killed afterwards doesn't really matter as long as you can revive -- as evidenced by the double-KO with Verethragna. The point is, Godou simply has not dealt enough damage to Melqart to slay him.
Ultimately, since this is a prequel, it's already set in stone that Godou was not going to defeat Melqart completely to gain an authority.

^ Yep, I understand all of this -- I just feel like "Jou-chan" just isn't being fair to his own world. But of course, that's my opinion, I'm just backing up my opinion with story references. I couldn't care less whether Godou actually got more powers. I'm not a fan of power-creep nor do I live vicariously through him..
Outcome is optimistic

Maybe its not Melqart that is strange to survive like that, but other god that can die so easily. Like Sun Wukong for example, if I remember right one of the knowledge Godou used for the sword is that Sunwukong is tossed into cauldron and burned for many days but didn't die. But in vol 7 Sunwukong just die when he got burned by JPS. I think if Jou-chan want, he can simply make Sunwukong survived by using that piece of story. Guess its depend on the author whether the god will die or not.

Well, Godou not usurping new authorities can always be supported by the fact that others Campiones have taken their second authorities years after the first. What we're reading now is the first year of the new Campione only when he is perfecting his control over his powers and about being a [King]. Having said that, it is also true that a protagonist in a story like this has to eventually grow, both mentally and in strength, at least in order to balance with the world (Gods and Campiones). As much as the author wants to avoid Godou becoming too powerful he'll have to make some really significant power increase over the next volumes, otherwise he risks falling into the situation where a much weaker protagonist practically exhausted their resources and still defeat his antagonist with something that looks more like pure luck.

The sword cannot kill Gods, it can disable them, strip them of their control over their autorities, but it cannot kill. Hence Godou has always considered the Boar and the Stallion as his Aces. And in some ocations the Goat.

The Kountze Lions used a balance offense and a bend but don't break defense to take down the Anahuac Panthers 49-14.
In Kountze social circles the win has been a long time coming, as the Lions will be in the playoffs for the first time since 1973. After getting out of the gates 5-1 to start the season, Kountze has been trying to clinch a playoff spot the last four games.
"This excitement started against Newton when we lost by two, then losing to East Chambers by six, and Kirbyville by eight," said team statistician and Kountze resident Randall Jennings. "It's like we had a black cloud over us this last month so it's great to see the kids win and I'm just numb right now."
For a team who hasn't been to the playoffs in 40 years the Kountze Lions looked very calm in pre-game warm-ups. Their poise and resolve came through tremendously in 2nd quarter, as senior Blake Best undercut a Josh Cooper pass returning it 45 yards to give the Lions a 21-14 at halftime.
"I knew coming into this season we would find some way, somehow to get the job done," said Best. "It feels good to be a senior and know we were the ones to end the drought and go to the playoffs."
The second half would be all Kountze as their defense would rise to the occasion once again. This time, sophomore cornerback Grayland Arnold would do the honors, stepping up by making a Richard Sherman-like interception and returned 90 yards for a score.
After coming up short three weeks in a row, tears began to shed on the Lions sideline as kids and parents alike were overwhelmed by the moment. Count Kountze head coach Tracy Franklin amongst them.
"These guys never gave up and understood we were going to find some way to end this streak," said Franklin. "We talked about the streak all year and now that is over I'm basically speechless."
With the win the Panthers clinched the fourth and final playoff spot in district 10-2A, and will take on the district 9-2A champion Tatum Eagles next Thursday at Lumberjack Stadium in Nacogdoches.

Protection from Death
Go to Pleasant Rest Graveyard, and near the gate, there is a strange bush called a "Death Flower Bush" - Harvest the flower from it. Keep this flower in your sim's inventory, and if you die, you will automatically offer this flower to the Grim Reaper, who will ressurect you in exchange for it. This flower will not reappear, but there are Unknown Special Seeds (requires level 7 Gardening to plant) dotted about near the graveyard (and a few other places) which may grow another Death Flower (and sometimes more if your Sim has the Green Thumb trait to revive the plant.)
