The return of wide receiver Marcus Robinson on Saturday, complete with two touchdown passes from Cade McNown on the Bears' first two possessions, was overshadowed by a defensive performance marked by some of the same problems that caused the Bears to rank 29th in defense last season.
The Bears (2-1) had allowed no touchdowns in two previous exhibition games but with no pass rush were beaten by Akili Smith and the Cincinnati Bengals (1-2) for three in 10 minutes in the first half.
A 14-0 first-quarter lead dissolved in a run of four scores in five Cincinnati possessions in a 24-20 Bengals win before a crowd of 56,180 in the first game in Paul Brown Stadium.
The offense helped the unraveling with two turnovers that led to 10 points and uncharacteristic penalties that negated key gains and ended drives. A 12-yard touchdown run by undrafted free-agent running back Marlon Barnes that would have tied the score in the fourth quarter was called back because of an illegal block.
In the second quarter, McNown threw into double coverage and was intercepted, leading to one Bengals touchdown. The second half began with a botched center exchange that set up a Cincinnati field goal.
The lack of a pass rush after three games, even if they are exhibitions, is now officially a problem. No starting Bears defensive lineman, linebacker or defensive back has a sack through their portions of three exhibition games.
This game began to change with the Bears ahead 14-0 late in the first quarter when Cincinnati began to get pressure on Cade McNown while the Bears were getting none on Smith.
After the Bears' second score, Smith completed five of his next six passes as the Bengals moved from their 32 to the Chicago 14. Rookie Peter Warrick, the third-overall pick of the 2000 draft, then circled around from left end, took a handoff from Smith and scored easily.
Smith, standing at times for as long as five seconds untouched, completed four straight passes on his next possession. The last found tight end Tony McGee wide open in the middle for a touchdown to tie the game at 14.
McNown, who played into the third quarter, then was intercepted. The return was to the Chicago 41.
Smith resumed picking the Bears apart on three straight completions before a pass interference penalty by cornerback Jerry Azumah put the ball at the Chicago 3. One play later, rookie wideout Ron Dugans, a Florida State teammate of Warrick, wound up matched against linebacker Warrick Holdman and scored the Bengals' third unanswered touchdown.
Rookie Paul Edinger helped his chances in his kicking competition with Jaret Holmes with a 40-yard field goal just before halftime to make the score 21-17. Holmes bounced a 25-yard field goal off the right upright in the fourth quarter. Edinger's try from 54 yards later in the period was short and wide, ending a streak of eight successful kicks.
The evening's good news was Robinson, who made his first preseason appearance memorable after missing the wins over New York and Cleveland with a strained abdominal muscle. Robinson, whose 1,400 receiving yards last year were a franchise record, picked up where he left off with quarterback Cade McNown and scored on two 45-yard passes in the first quarter.
Robinson scored on the Bears' fifth play from scrimmage when McNown rolled left at the Cincinnati 45 away from a blitz and found Robinson alone deep in the secondary, hitting him in stride for the touchdown.
The second Bears score, eight plays later, came on a screen pass that Robinson caught at the Cincinnati 44, then picked his way through clutter with help from a block by guard Rex Tucker and outran the Cincinnati secondary to the end zone.

"Ubuntu being most popular measured how? User base? Downloads?"
Did I claim "most popular"? I really didn't mean that. I just wanted to state that good preconfigured Linux systems with good i18n and shiny installers are more popular - at least here in Germany - than "old fashioned OS only discs" like FreeBSD is. Let me explain in a few words.
People expect immediate success without having to know everything. Ubuntu provides such a solution, but the same does SuSE, Fedora or Red Hat Linux.
Please excuse that I do not know that much about the various Linux distributions because I do not use Linux on a daily basis. I did just judge from my very individual impressions here. I know many users having no problems with Ubuntu - in difference to "problems" with FreeBSD, such as now knowing the english language, not knowing what to do, not willing to read the available german documentation, expecting defective and outdated (I mean really outdated and strangely assembled) hardware to work out of the box, or getting english error messages while a german KDE is installed... such "problems". Linux seems to handle these "problems" in a more newbie friendly way.

My mother's grandparents
|George C. Sees, born July 24, 1865
Parents: John and Susan Süß
|Elisabeth Keller Sees, born December 7, 1866
Parents: Andrew and Elisabeth Keller
For a couple of weeks, the Pondering Pig has been writing about Willa Cather. Cather's O Pioneers and My Antonia describe Nebraska during the days when my four sets of great-grandparents were establishing themselves there. And recently, I've been discussing the Gordon (Nebraska) area with Runaway Imagination. His father's people were from Western Nebraska.
I've been meditating on these things, and as I was putting away some photographs yesterday, my hands fell upon the photos of the little German villages my great-grandparents came from. From thence, the following...
We spent a few days visiting Dellfeld and Nünschweiler, Germany in November of 1990. The two little villages are located across a field and over a hill from each other in Rheinland-Pfalz near Pirmassens and Zweibrucken. Great-grandma Sees was born in Dellfeld and Great-grandpa Sees was born in Nünschweiler.
We were living in Berlin with my husband's job, and we rented a car and drove out into west Germany, almost to France. Keely was five years old, so she has some memories of the trip, and Isaac was about 16 months.
I labeled the photos I took there and wrote six pages about the trip. When I looked at the notes and photos again yesterday, I was surprised how much I had forgotten about our visit there. Those memories would be gone forever if I hadn't written them down. At the time I did all that documentation to share the experience with my mother. Now I find I was writing for myself as well!
Here are a few images from Dellfeld where Elisabeth Keller was born.

|In the Dellfeld cemetery
Our dead in God, 1856 (poor translation)
|Outskirts of Dellfeld
And here are some photos from Nünschweiler, the childhood home of George Süß. The name was also spelled "Süss". George americanized it to "Sees" because, he said, no one knew how to pronounce or write his German name.
|Nünschweiler is still a farming village.
|Seen from the back of the cemetery
|A barn in Nünschweiler
|Hillside gardens
I don't know if this old church in Nünschweiler is the one that forever influenced my great-grandmother's opinion of Catholics, but I think it would have been around during her time!
As a young girl, Elisabeth was a maid in a house near (or next to) the convent. She learned that children lived in the convent, and she believed their parents to be priests and nuns. Whether or not this was the case, the purity of the Catholic Church was forever tainted in her eyes.
George and Elisabeth were Lutherans and they converted to Methodism in Gordon, perhaps in one of the tent revival meetings of that day.
George came to America first and worked for a few years building railroads in the American west. My mother always said that he was about to be conscripted into the German army when he made a break for America. Cousin Alta (like my mother, a Sees grandchild) says that George stowed away on a ship, but didn't bring enough food to make it across the ocean. He got so hungry he had to come out, and the captain allowed him to work in return for his board and keep for the rest of the voyage.
After a few years in America, George decided he needed a wife, so he chose a German girl from a village (Dellfeld) just over the hill from the village where he grew up (Nünschweiler). I don't know whether they were acquainted with each other already or if someone made the arrangements. I am also not sure whether Elisabeth traveled to America alone, or if George went to Germany to get her.
America surely held more promise for Elisabeth than Germany did. After her father died suddenly at a young age (from a burst appendix), her mother married a man who was apparently a monster. He raped Elisabeth's twin sister and she died from her injuries, as I understand it. (This was discussed at a Sees cousins' reunion that I attended in about 2000.) I don't know what age the girls were when this happened.
Then Elisabeth's mother died as well. Cousin Alta thinks that she also suffered a burst appendix. At any rate, when Elisabeth decided to go to America and marry George, she was on her own without mother or father, and she was working as a servant in the house I mentioned above.
George and Elisabeth were married in 1889, in Grand Island, Nebraska. During their first year of marriage, they lived with and worked for a cousin of George's near Grand Island. Thereafter, they lived in New Mexico for a while. They also lived near St. Paul, Nebraska, where an infant daughter (Caroline) was buried, before finally homesteading at Gordon with their five children.
My mother said her father, Harry Sees, told a story about the arrival of the Sees family in Gordon. As the train pulled in, her father observed some Indians chasing down a stray dog. When they caught it, they butchered it and cooked it over a fire.
I am not sure where George and Elisabeth homesteaded, but it was near Gordon, Nebraska. The land is now owned by descendants of the oldest daughter, Elva Sees Hix.
George knew some English already when he came to America, and he improved it while working on the railroads. (Alta thinks that George's mother may have been English in nationality. I don't know anything to either prove or disprove this. My mother's family tree papers show that George's mother was Susanna Steffan, but no other information is given -- not even a date of birth or death.)
Elisabeth spoke only German when she came to America, and she didn't learn English until her children went to school. Then she made them teach her each night what they had learned at school that day.
My mother told a story about World War I when anti-German sentiment was running high. A group of unfriendly people gathered outside the George Sees farmhouse one night. (I don't know how many people were in the crowd, but I'll bet most of them had been drinking.) My great-grandfather took his citizenship papers in hand and shook them at the people who dared to threaten his family and farm. This is the part of the story that I remember best, but my brother says that George also let the crowd in his yard know that he and his three strong sons (including my Grandpa Harry) would return in kind any damage that they suffered. The thugs left, and that was the end of it.
Another story my mother told was about George's bother Jakob. He came to visit from Germany but he didn't like it in America so he went back home. Elisabeth told my mother that Jakob set his boots outside his bedroom door, expecting her to clean them, but she ignored them. Elisabeth said Jakob seemed to think he was still in Germany, but she was an American woman!
Elisabeth's influence on my mother was significant because Mama's mother, Violet Eaton Sees, had passed away when Mama was eight years old. When my mother went to high school, she lived in town with George and Elisabeth, who were getting older and needed some help. Mama talked about doing many chores for them, particularly taking care of the chickens and cleaning the henhouse. During the four school years she lived with them, she was tutored in the family stories by her grandparents.
When I learned some German, I recognized the German influence in my mother's speech. I think she picked up the German words and idioms from her grandparents as well as her father.
As World War II approached and Nazi Germany began to flex its muscle, George and Elisabeth blamed power-hungry political and military leaders. They shook their heads and said, "It isn't the people, it isn't the people!" They did not live long enough to know the extremes to which the Nazis would go. George passed away on July 27, 1940, and Elisabeth passed away on August 26, 1940.
George and Elisabeth Sees are buried in the Gordon cemetery, on the south side. I don't know what George died from, but my mother thought Elisabeth may have had undiagnosed leukemia. (Leukemia is the curse of the Sees family).
The last communication that my mother remembered with the German branch of the Süß or Süss family was after World War II. They wrote asking the Sees family at Gordon to send soap and other items that were unavailable in Germany. The items were sent, and that seems to have been the last communication.
I don't believe Great-grandma Elisabeth had much (if any) contact with her family after she left Germany. My mother never mentioned anything about the Kellers.
I was not able to meet any relatives when we visited the ancestral villages, but I did find some tombstones in the Nünschweiler cemeteries bearing the names Süß and Süss. There were several Jakobs. We were told of a Dr. Lora Süss from Dellfeld, but she seemed to be out of town and we were not able to return due to the limits of our schedule.
Later, my mother was contacted by descendants of a cousin of George Sees who had also visited Dellfeld and Nünschweiler doing family research. (This explains why the German lady at the Dellfeld post office told me that I was the second American who had come asking about the Süss family.) I believe the cousin's last name was Stenger, Stanger, or something along that line. (Please correct me, if you know.) Mama wrote down some family tree information and passed it on to them.
And there you have it, kids. I wrote it down for you. It's up to you to save it and pass it on. Just remember that my great-grandparents are your great-great grandparents.

Men's basketball coach Pat Knight fired by Lamar
Pat Knight didn't make it through his third season as the men's head basketball coach.
Less than 24 hours after losing at home by 20 points to Northwestern State, Lamar University relieved Knight of his duties.
The LU athletic department sent out this press release via email:
"Lamar University head men's basketball coach Pat Knight has been relieved of position as head men's basketball coach announced Director of Athletics Jason Henderson Sunday afternoon. Knight posted a 29-62 (.326) overall record during his three seasons in Beaumont. Following his arrival prior to the 2011-12 season, Knight guided the Cardinals to a 23-12 overall record, and a berth in the NCAA Championships. The 2011-12 squad won six-straight games to close out the regular season and win the Southland Conference tournament title, but the program has struggled since its postseason berth. In the past two seasons Lamar managed only six wins posting a combined 6-50 (.107) overall record, and a 3-26 (.109) Southland mark. The Cardinals enter their rematch with Sam Houston State 13th in Southland standings with 3-22 overall record, and a 2-11 Southland mark. Former Lamar assistant coach, Tic Price, will serve as the interim head coach for the remainder of the season."

EPA: Parts of Cincinnati-Hamilton area now meet smog standards
Release Date: 03/01/2010
Contact Information: Phillippa Cannon, 312-353-6218, email@example.com
No. 10-OPA019
(CHICAGO - March 1, 2010) U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 is proposing to approve a request from the states of Indiana and Ohio to redesignate parts of the Cincinnati-Hamilton area in attainment of the national health-based eight-hour outdoor standard for ozone. Ground-based ozone is commonly referred to as smog. EPA will address the Kentucky portion of the area in a separate action.
The affected parts of the area include Lawrenceburg Township in Dearborn County, Ind., and Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton, and Warren Counties in Ohio.
EPA said three years of complete, quality-assured, outdoor air monitoring data for 2007, 2008 and 2009 show that the area meets the standard.
EPA also proposes to approve Ohio and Indiana's plans to continue to meet the eight-hour health-based ozone standard through 2020 and to approve motor vehicle emission budgets for the Ohio and Indiana portions of the area.
The actions were published Friday, Feb. 26 in the Federal Register. The public has 30 days to comment. Comments may be entered at http://www.regulations.gov. For the Cincinnati-Hamilton area refer to dockets ID No. EPA-R05-OAR-2009-0928 and EPA-R05-OAR-2010-0046 and follow online instructions for submitting comments. Comments may also be e-mailed to email@example.com or faxed to 312-886-2551.
Smog is formed when a mixture of pollutants react on warm, sunny days. The pollutants are released from cars, factories and a wide variety of other sources. Smog can cause respiratory problems, including coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and chest pain.

They are small in number, but big on confidence.
The Lipscomb Lady Bison softball team opened practice Monday afternoon in preparation for the 2012 season. Coach Kristin Ryman will only be working with 15 players this season, but her players are confident they can improve on last year's second place finish in the Atlantic Sun Conference and earn their second NCAA Tournament berth.
One of the major keys to the season will be the health of the team.
"Everybody is back and doing fine," Ryman said. "We had a couple of players who were banged up near the end of the fall that are trying to still get through a few things.
"We had our first workout and we are in a very good spot right now. That was very encouraging."
Ryman doesn't plan to change the preparations of the players in an attempt to avoid injuries.
"The biggest thing is to constantly remind them that there are 15 of them and not 20," Ryman said. "Our depth is good, but our depth is limited.
'They have to be aware of that with everything that they do and every decision that they make on or off of the field. We just don't need any silly injuries. It's part of the game if they dive for a ball and injure a knee. That is something we will work through if it happens. We want them to be smart."
The Lady Bison finished the 2011 season with a 30-20 record, 15-5 in the A-Sun. They finished in second place during the regular season and lost to Jacksonville in the A-Sun Championship game.
"They understand what is at stake and what they need to do," Ryman said. "You can tell they weren't satisfied with last year. It is a really good thing we are at that point with our program. If they don't finish first there is that feeling that they didn't do everything they could do.
"This year they have thrown everything out the window. This is a new group. They have a little different mentality. They have a little bit of a chip on their shoulders. They are anxious for the challenge. We are going to make the most of it."
Ryman is pleased that the team has high expectations for this season. It is always easier to motivate a team that wants to excel.
"They have been extremely good in how they work with each other on the field," Ryman said. "They go and do extra stuff on their own all the time.
"We have seen a big difference in their confidence level. All of our freshmen from last year have more experience under their belts. They are more mentally prepared. They are more ready to make a statement this year."
The Lady Bison open the season at the Mardi Gras Tournament in Mobile, Ala., Feb. 10-12. They will play Jacksonville State and South Alabama as well as Mississippi State and Alabama from the Southeastern Conference.
"They are not going to get overnight results," Ryman said. "They shouldn't expect that.
"What they should expect is this is going to be a grind. It is going to be a process the entire year."

Do you want to be fit, strong and powerful?
Do you believe that there is more to fitness than calorie counting?
The Wild Workout will introduce you to a holistic way of training your body. Build your strength, stamina, mobility and flexibility, correct and strengthen your posture, even become a better, stronger runner if you wish. Move with confidence, strength and poise through Wild Movements.
When Alexandra created The Merisoiu Technique it was because her clients wanted to get fit, strong and powerful.
However they also needed to understand how their bodies function, how to move soft and fluid and how to prevent injury as much as possible. And it was essential not to sacrifice the later for the former.
It was imperative for them to understand the difference between tension and relaxation, intentional movement, posture and balance and counterbalance.
The Mindful Control component is where Alexandra's clients learn to bring together or to align body, breath, and mind.
And then to catapult their results we brought in the physical and psychological benefits and the freedom of training outdoors all year round. Benefits such as strength and emotional balance. And of course the nutrition and healthy habits part.
Finally, it became clear that her clients needed to have access to a complete system which would offer them the foundations they needed to live a healthy and fit life for the rest of their lives. Once you understand the basics of movement, posture, breathing, nutrition and Mindful Control then you actually become in control of your own life.
So all these lead to her creating a unique transformational system: The Merisoiu Technique which incorporates five essential principles of a healthier lifestyle: Earthing, Fluid Movement, Food Discipline™, Mindful Control™, Organic Movement.
ABOUT ALEXANDRA MERISOIU - The Body Engineer
Alexandra is known as The Body Engineer and is the founder of The Merisoiu Technique Institute Of Health And Natural Human Movement™.
Since 1995 she has explored how the body and mind works through using many different sporting techniques and through a wide variety of highly respected coaches. In 2001, at 14 years old, she was ranked 2nd at World Karate Championships and 3rd in 2015, 2 times National Champion, World Cup Champion and now she is a 3rd Dan Black Belt in Karate Shotokan, and she still competes at an international level. It is through these learnings that she has created The Merisoiu Technique and has established her own unique transformational programs that incorporate thousands of years of knowledge with modern coaching methods.
Her mission is to share her gift and educate the world, passing on to the next generations why they need to get out of the gym and back to nature. Going back to nature takes them on a journey of discovery, experience and creativity, and installs lasting foundations and transformational results.
"Alexandra took me and a gang of four 13-14 year olds on a workshop in the woods recently. We spent 2,5 hours in our local woods, exercising in a way you would never have done before. Alexandra teaches you how to get fit with the countryside, as a natural gym, using the trees, branches, dips and curves and different terrain you might find in your local woods. She taught us posture, alignment and how to create length and strength, as well as mindfulness. The girls loved it. They had such fun and could not believe how much they got out of training like this in nature, and how fit you can get, as well as grounded.
I would recommend anyone of any age to train with Alexandra. She has the whole package of body, mind and nature, and fun. Thank you for a truly inspiring and unforgettable day!"
Tone Tellefsen Hughes, Director of Luck's Yard Chiropractic Clinic, Surrey.
"I started working with Alexandra in late Feb this year [2015], and in the short few months have seen massive benefits in my fitness as well as general well being!
Go from complete shut down to fully functional was designed for me, and I can say with confidence she delivers on that promise!
I had a lot going on when we started working together, and was resorting to stress eating to cope, going speedily down a vicious cycle where my fitness and general well being was concerned.. it took Alex a while to shake me out of that, but she adjusted her approach to suit my needs, ie – to suit my then fitness levels and also using language/messaging that would appeal to me and inspire me to go along with her suggestions!
I find myself fitter, more able physically, more in control generally, and more inspired to make wholesome choices, with nutrition in specific but my whole lifestyle in general!
So, all in all, a great 360 degree experience built on that symbiotic link between physical and emotional health.
I have also learnt the relationship between seemingly unrelated things causing the aches/pains and injuries.
I am learning how to use my body with greater awareness so as to help existing injuries and prevent any in future. I like that her approach is built on building knowledge and awareness of ones body and its use, and making small changes to get long lasting transformational results.
Another interesting learning for me has been how much I enjoy the outdoors. While I have always liked green open spaces, I never thought I would enjoy training outdoors.
I started training with Alex in Feb, through relatively cold weather and on an early morning slot, so I had my share of reservations on that, but I am happy to share that I have loved it more with every session.
It has helped build my resilience and hopefully given me something I could continue with going forwards, on my own!
All in all, highly recommended!"
Pooja Sharma, Manager Pearson Plc

My cat not thrilled about her foodie anymore
Hi, I could use some advice here
Scully (my cat) is healthy, not long ago she had a general checking at the vet, she acts normal and all except that she's not very thrilled with her food anymore.
At the I beginning used to give her dry food (she loved it) but she used to vomit a lot, because she ate it fast and too much, I changed to canned food and she loved it. But about 4 weeks ago she eats her food but when she sees it, it's like.. "Oh more of this" and sniffs it, leaves and later comes back and eats a little and so on until she eats most (always leaves left overs). So I changed back to dry (this time trying whiskas) she liked it better, more enthusiastic than before but still not thrilled about it really.
She gets hungry but just not too excited about eating what I'm giving her.
Any options that you could advice?

I truly believe that some cats can get bored of their food, while others can't stand change, lol. Perhaps you have one that gets bored .
Here is some reading on cat food:
This one is more on the technical side of cat nutrition:
To make the best decisions, one must be informed and know the facts .
Canned food is best for cats, they have a very low thirst drive and should get their water from food, it is a much more efficient way to get water into them. Think about yourself eating cookies all day, then trying to lap up water with your tongue. I would think a person would be chronically thirsty .
So I would change her food to something that is more nutritious and one that she likes. Some good ones that I have fed to my cats are:
Wellness, canned, the grain free varieties (Jasper can't have grains)
Nature's Variety Instinct, canned (many flavours to choose from with this brand)
Organics by Nature (cat's weren't too crazy about it, but it is a good food)
For treats they get Almo (canned). It is pure meat so it is for treats only as it is not nutritionally complete. But all my cats go crazy for it, so it is nice to add for variety.

Thank you so much. I'll check on that.
Cats tend to be picky but omg Scully is so bad I've tried giving her fish (tuna and sardines, turkey, chicken, the ones I eat just as a test) and she's like... Ew! give me my cat food I'm like "Scully are you a cat even?" No fish???
Anyway's I'll look into that. Thank you.
And sowee to the mods for posting this in the wrong section (I guess I missed the obvious "Cat food forums"
" How we behave toward cats here below determines our status in heaven."
- Robert A. Heinlein
Assumptions do nothing but make an ass out of u and me.
We can stick our heads in the sand for only so long before it starts choking us. Face it folks. The pet population is bad ALL OVER THE WORLD!
Well my kitties at my parents Catuary love tuna, they go crazy just with the smell. They eat cat food normaly, but sometimes they treat them with tuna or sardines and they go nuts all of them.
There is an island in a western state of Mexico populated by a lot of cats and they fish. They're feral cats and they fish from the river close to the sea.
But that is an unusual occurrence. Somehow they adapted to their environment.
Anyways yeah in the wild they don't eat fish, but all the kitties I've known so far (except Scully) love fish as in they go evil about it.
The levels of mercury are worth to give it a thought. Who knows what fish they use for the canned food, you're right about that.
I won't try fish with her anyway
" How we behave toward cats here below determines our status in heaven."
- Robert A. Heinlein
I just posted a thread about my kitties shunning their food - they do the same thing as your kitty, they look at me like, "You want me to eat this?" when they've been enjoying it for weeks. I've decided to start a rotation of a variety of canned foods that they like, in the hopes that they won't get tired of their food so quickly. 14+ gave you great info - I was able to get my mom to switch her cat to a canned grain-free Wellness food because it was easily purchased in her local grocery store. My kids have tried soooo many brands - Tiki Cat, AvoDerm, Natural Balance, Innova EVO, Merrick, Nature's Variety Instinct, Weruva - the list goes on. It can be difficult to find a food that they're excited about, but if you get a few cans of good food and offer them to her I'm sure she'll find one she's excited about. Good luck!

The Lipscomb Bisons baseball team moved another game closer to first place in the Atlantic Sun Conference with 6-1 win in game one of a doubleheader with Florida Gulf Coast Saturday afternoon at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen Lee Marsh Stadium,
Power and pitching were the keys for the Bisons who pounded three home runs.
On the mound right-hander Brandon McClurg, 5-1, went the distance for the Bisons, holding Florida Gulf Coast to only one run and five hits. He struck out six and walked three.
Shortstop Jorge Gutierrez opened the scoring in the first inning with a solo shot to left field in the Bisons first at bat of the game.
The Bisons added another run in the fifth when first baseman Ryan Wilkins hit a solo shot to left to start the inning.
In the sixth the Bisons scored another run. Center fielder Allen Bolden led off the inning with a walk, but was caught attempting to steal second. Catcher Caleb Joseph walked and went to third when left fielder Blake Bratcher singled to right field. Designated hitter Justin Sanders singled to center to score Joseph.
The Bisons scored three more runs in the seventh. With two outs Gutierrez doubled down the left field line. Bolden singled to left field driving Gutierrez home. Joseph then hit a two-run home run to left field that cleared the batting practice facility.
Gutierrez, Joseph and Sanders each had two hits.
Florida Gulf Coast scored one run in the third inning.
Florida Gulf Coast sent three pitchers to the mound. Pete Woodworth started and took the loss, falling to 5-2. He pitched seven innings and gave up eight hits and six runs, all earned. He walked three and struck out five.
Andy Horton gave up two hits in one-third of an inning and also struck out one. Richie Erath closed out the game for Florida Gulf Coast with two-thirds of inning. He did not allow a hit.
The Bisons are 20-14, 14-6 in the A-Sun. Florida Gulf Coast is 25-12 overall, 15-5 in the conference.

Everyone has a different taste, and preferences can vary over time. This also applies to your own four walls. What could be more fulfilling than letting your creativity run free? You do not always need an expert to redesign your home. Use our DIY tips and tricks and also save money.
The floor, along with the wall colour, defines the underlying atmosphere of a room. It determines what furniture is needed to create a harmonious overall appearance. The floor covering should thus be chosen carefully. In rental properties or older freehold properties, the floor covering is often a remnant of past decades, such as the "wild 70s" or gaily coloured 80s.
Floor coverings are normally not replaced as often as wall colours. The installation of wooden flooring, parquet flooring, cork flooring, PVC flooring or tiled floors should be planned in advance, as the sub-floor must be suitable and may require professional preparation. Laminate flooring or floor carpeting, on the other hand, can easily be installed yourself. A specialist will generally charge around 30 euros per square metre. Thus DIY enthusiasts will not only save half the costs, but also experience an enduring sense of achievement afterwards.
Changing tiles
For many years, tiles were usually used in kitchens and bathrooms. Nowadays, however, there are also other options. Latex acrylic paint, for example, is water resistant and can be used in the bathroom instead of tiles. Glass or aluminium composite tops are increasingly being used in kitchens, as they are easier to replace than their conventional forerunners. Removing old tiles from the walls can be a mammoth task. If you prefer something less radical, you could also paste over the old tiles, paint them or even tile over them. A wide range of financial and creative options are available.
Small task, huge effect
If you are seeking smaller changes with a large effect, think about using room dividers, sliding doors or lightweight construction walls. Shelving systems are another easy way of changing the living space ambience. This allows for attractive solutions with minimum financial outlay and physical input. All you need is four hands, a good dose of creativity and a certain amount of aptitude.
Even a little bit of redesigning can create a whole new living sensation, e.g. replacing cupboard or drawer knobs with designer knobs, which are available in many online platforms.
Lighting effects
Appropriate atmospheric lighting is essential and greatly increases the sense of well-being in your own four walls. As a different light intensity may be required for different tasks, such as bathing the baby or taking a shower, it might be a good idea to invest in a lighting system with dimming function. Specialist retailers offer ready-made systems that can easily be mounted to the ceiling or wall.

"In December, the Google Nexus made by Taiwan's Asustek Computer Inc. accounted for 44.4% of all tablet sales by volume electronics retailers. That's according to a survey of 2,400 stores nationwide by market research firm BCN Inc., released Wednesday. Google's figure beat Apple's 40.1% share, dethroning the iPad for the first time since it went on sale in May 2010." Just as I and many others with me predicted, what happened in the smartphone market will also happen in the tablet market: Android will take the numbers, iOS will take the figures (i.e., profit). As far as I know, this is the first time this has actually materialised fully in a market, though. Also, while it was inevitable that Android would overtake iOS on tablets (even if it is just a single country, for now), I don't think anyone predicted it would be a single model? Colour me impressed (which is pink).

Panasonic HPX-171E MXF to Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12
Edit Panasonic HPX-171E P2 MXF files in Movie Studio Platinum 12
[b]Description:[/b] With the P2 MXF to Sony Movie Studio converter you can easily find the best video and audio codec for converting Panasonic P2 MXF footages to edit in Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12.
"What's the best video and audio codec for converting P2 MXF footages to edit in Movie Studio Platinum 12? Actually?I?am?new?one?in?this entire?story?about?videos. My camera is 171e-Panasonic. My audio codec is pcm_s16le. I have a material and before I start to make editing in Movie Studio I would like to give the converted file to my friend for a first look on his computer or TV. What should I do?"
To edit Panasonic HPX-171E P2 MXF footages in Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12, you need to know which video and audio codec/formats this video editing tool supports. On Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12 official website, I find it works well with AAC, AA3, AIFF, AVI, BMP, CDA, FLAC, GIF, JPEG, MP3, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MVC, OGG, OMA, PCA, PNG, QuickTime?, RealMedia?, SND, SFA, W64, WAV, WDP, WMA, WM. Among them, I prefer MPEG-2 as video codec since they can be supported only by Sony Movie Studio as well as the computer and TV you request.
Here is a brief instruction about how to [b]convert Panasonic P2 MXF files to MPEG-2/AC3 for Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12[/b].
Setp 1. Free download the [b]Pavtube MXF to Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12 converter[/b]. I used this app to successfully convert many MXF footages shot by my Canon XF100, so I guess it would also work well for your Panasonic P2 camcorder.
Tip 1: If you are using a Mac OS X computer, Mac P2 MXF Converter is available as well.
Tip 2: When you import P2 MXF files from computer, don't forget to copy the complete [b]CONTENT[/b] folder from your camcorder to hard disk in advance.
Step 2. Hit the "Add video" button, navigate to the source file location and import your P2 MXF file.
Step 3. Then follow the path "Common Video or Adobe Premiere/Sony Vegas -> MPEG-2 Video(*.mpg)" and choose MPEG-2 as output format. Of course you would find other MPEG-2 profile under the "Format" list, but I would recommend this one because it allows you to change audio codec.
Step 4. Enter the "Settings" tab, and you can freely set profile presets in your own way. BTW, all these parameters under Profile Settings, including video codec, display resolution, bitrate, frame rate, etc, can be customized as you like to get better video and audio quality. To get better audio quality, you are suggested to switch Audio Codec from MP2 to AC3.
Step 5. Return back to the P2 MXF to Sony Movie Studio converter main UI, hit the big "Convert" button and start converting your P2 MXF files for Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12. Once it finishes, open output folder to locate the created MPEG-2 file and transfer it to Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12 for video editing.
[b]How to import video files to Movie Studio Platinum 12 for editing?[/b]
Now your Panasonic AG-HPX171E .MXF footage are converted into Movie Studio Platinum 12 natively supported format. Launch Movie Studio Platinum 12, and follow "Import" > "IMPORT FROM" > "Other devices" > "the folder stored the converted .mpg files" > "Start Import" to get P2 footage into Movie Studio Platinum 12.

Convert JVC GY-HM650U ProHD MXF to Apple Prores HQ
MXF to Prores HQ-Get JVC GY-HM650U MXF supported by FCP X
Summary: Facing issues when importing JVC GY-HM650U ProHD MXF to Final Cut Pro X for editing? The easy workaround is to convert JVC MXF videos to ProRes HQ codec. Below is how.
First try out of the box the JVC GY-HM650U camera works well in low light, so it is more versatile. And the rebates are great! Good zoom. Sound ok.
After testing, I find it is a little hard to get the ProHD MXF footage from JVC GY-HM650U working with my Final Cut Pro X. FCP X crashed while opening. When I open the program agiain, find out they are not readable? What's that? I am sure the videos are playable on camera.
From google, I find many users are facing the same frustrating result when importing JVC GY-HM650U ProHD MXF videos into Final Cut Pro X like me. I finally konw the basic reason is that MXF is not a fully supported format by Final Cut Pro X.
To get/import my JVC GY-HM650U MXF recordings to FCP X easily for editing, at first, I need to transcode JVC videos to Apple ProRes first, as it is the best codec for Final Cut Pro X editing.
Below is the simple step-by-step guide I will share for JVC ProHD Camcorder users. With using Pavtube MXF Converter for Mac to convert JVC GY-HM650U MXF videos to ProRes 422 HQ, I can easily import my ProHD MXF files to FCP X to do editing work. This Converter works perfectly on iMac/MacBook Pro with Mac OS X, Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion and Mavericks 10.9.
Download it and get the full guide below to have a smooth editing with JVC GY-HM650U ProHD MXF footage in Final Cut Pro X.
Step 1. Get this Mac JVC MXF Converter for Mac installed and load your footages. Click top left icon to load individual mxf videos files; or click the second one to import the whole folder.
Step 2. Choose proper format for editing in Final Cut Pro X.
Click Format drop-down list, choose Final Cut Pro>Apple ProRes 422(HQ)(*.mov), as it's FCPX's most compatible codec.
The Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) codec offers the utmost possible quality for 4:2:2 or 4:2:0 sources (without an alpha channel) and provides the following:
* Target data rate of approximately 220 Mbps (1920 x 1080 at 60i)
* Higher quality than Apple ProRes 422
Tips: You can also select Apple ProRes 422(LT) which will give smaller file size.
* Learn more Apple ProRes, please refer to Types of Apple ProRes Codecs
Step 3. Click "Convert" button to start transcoding JVC GY-HM650U ProHD MXF videos to FCP X on Mac OS.
After a shot conversion, you will be able to import/load JVC GY-HM650U ProHD MXF videos into Final Cut Pro X for editing without rendering. Just have a try.
Futhermore, if your MXF files have 2 audio tracks or more, here is a new program named iMixMXF with multi-track preserving and mixing features. You can download the trial version for evaluation! Good luck!

GETTYSBURG, Pa. - Senior tailback Ted Delia rushed for 121 yards and a career-high four touchdowns while Head Coach Barry Streeter earned his 100th career Centennial Conference (CC) victory as the Gettysburg College football team downed host Ursinus College 48-7 in its CC opener Saturday afternoon at Patterson Field.
Streeter becomes just the second coach in conference history to reach the milestone, joining current Johns Hopkins University coach Jim Margraff, who has captured 102 CC victories.
The Bullets (2-0, 1-0 CC), who outgained Ursinus 567-177, also received a big day from senior quarterback Kody Smith who led all rushers with 129 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries. He also threw for 205 yards an additional TD on 15-of-27 passing, marking the first time a Bullet quarterback rushed for 100 yards and passed for 200 yards in the same game since Joe Gossweiler '05 rushed for 108 and passed for 216 in a 31-30 win over Waynesburg in 2003.
Senior receiver Kyle Davis hauled in five passes for 85 yards – both career-highs – and a touchdown for the Bullets, who posted their highest scoring output in a Centennial Conference opener since a 62-20 win over Western Maryland in 1989.
Senior linebacker Larry DelViscio led all players with 12 tackles for Gettysburg, which forced Ursinus (1-1, 0-1 CC) to punt on its first eight complete possessions. The Bullets out-rushed the Bears 362-17, marking the lowest rushing output by a Gettysburg opponent since Averett University also rushed for 17 yards in 2002. Gettysburg, which is 2-0 for the first time since 1993, has allowed a total of 53 rushing yards this season.
The Bullets also registered four sacks for the second game in a row, with senior defensive end Joe Ventresca leading the way with one and a half. Freshman linebacker Kodie McNamara added six tackles while junior cornerback Hugo Nolasco made five stops.
For the second straight game, the Bullet offensive line did not yield a sack.
Chris Curran passed for 138 yards and a touchdown to lead Ursinus while Steve Ambs finished with 10 tackles for the Bears.
The game was delayed 16 minutes in the fourth quarter due to a thunderstorm.
Everything was clicking in the early going for the Bullets, who scored on their first possession and forced Ursinus to punt on each of its six full first-half drives.
On its first drive of the game, Gettysburg needed just six plays to move 62 yards, with Delia capping the march with a 2-yard touchdown run with 11:54 on the clock. The drive was fueled by a 19-yard run by Smith to the Ursinus-27 and a 25-yard scamper by sophomore wing Freddy Caruso to the Bear-2 on the next play.
Smith pushed Gettysburg's lead to 15-0 when the connected with Davis on a 21-yard touchdown pass with 13:08 to go in the first half, capping an 11-play, 90-yard drive. After the Bullets induced a fifth-straight punt, the Orange & Blue moved 82 yards on 10 plays, with Smith racing it in from 11 yards out to make it 22-0 with 6:12 on the clock. Smith and junior receiver Aden Twer hooked up on a 41-yard completion during the drive that placed the ball in Ursinus territory, and six plays later Smith hit Davis on fourth-and-8 to give the Bullets a first-and-goal at the 9.
The Bullets fumbled at the Ursinus-41 on their final possession of the half, but with just nine seconds left the Bears were unable to capitalize.
In the meantime, the Bullet defense held the Bears to 100 total yards in the first half, with just 27 coming on the ground, as the visitors took a 22-0 lead into the locker room.
Gettysburg received the opening kickoff in the second half and promptly moved 75 yards on seven plays, with Delia breaking free for a 33-yard touchdown run two minutes into the period. After an Ursinus punt, Smith found Davis for a 39-yard completion to the Bear-6, setting up a 6-yard scoring jaunt by Delia on the next play to make it 36-0 with 8:24 remaining in the third quarter.
The Bears' lone touchdown came off a Gettysburg turnover, when a punt was fumbled. On the next play, Curran connected with Darius Jones on a 29-yard scoring strike with 6:28 showing in the third quarter.
Ursinus' final four possessions resulted in a pair of punts, a fumble, and an interception. Senior safety Drew Olsen came up with his first collegiate interception with 13:19 left in the game, and he forced a fumble that was recovered by freshman defensive tackle Charles McDonald with 8:45 to go.
Gettysburg added a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns. Delia scored on a 7-yard run with 14:18 left and sophomore tailback Eddie Hutchins set the final score with a 1-yard plunge with 10:32 to go. Delia's four rushing TDs were just one shy of the school record.

Just think of William Wordsworth and his "hosts of golden daffodils" (I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud) or Beverly Nichols' rhapsodic descriptions of spring enveloping his own English garden. (Down the Garden Path).
Spring is truly a miracle — more tenacious and more welcomed than perhaps any other season. It happens without help or interference from us, regardless of the state of the world or the state of our taxed wallets. It makes our hearts light.
Tiny children and the elderly alike enjoy the unfolding events of spring. The first flush of ornamental blossoms always seems to be more beautiful than previous years and the air seems more fragrant. Baby chicks, lambs and even piglets are too precious to describe. Birds sing louder and the first green of new leaves is never matched at any other time of year.
For many, the occasion of Easter is about the celebration of spring, often with special dinners or a Sunday brunch. Inspiration for floral arrangements for these meals or gatherings need only come from nature, which has bedecked the garden in all the pastels of the season like an illustration in a storybook. Robin's egg blue, downy duck yellow, lavenders soft as a cloud easily work together without stepping on each other's toes.
A monochromatic white colour scheme is also lovely for spring. This is a perfect time to use the many varieties of potted plants available in whites and cream tones. Swooping white phalenopsis orchids, fragrant jasmine hoops, Easter lilies, even white hydrangea are all at their best now and are easily incorporated into any decor. For a traditional look, tuck plant pots into white ceramic containers or wrap the plastic pots in crisp white paper for an edgy, modern look. Just tie with white string instead of ribbon.
Plants are always a good investment. Phalenopsis orchids last in bloom for more than six months. Jasmine and hydrangea can be transferred into the garden after they finish blooming. Easter lilies with their heavenly fragrance last in bloom for three weeks, longer if kept cool, but they won't rebloom. Easter lilies are the third most important flowering potted plant, after poinsettia and chrysanthemums. More than 15 million Easter lilies will be sold this spring.
Spring arrangements can be sweet in content and colour scheme. Vintage ceramics and glassware are perfect to use as containers. Wicker, rattan or tin baskets are perfect for spring arrangements. Any container that is whimsical captures the essence of spring. Miniature varieties of flowers or minor bulbs — mini daffodils, lily of the valley, grape hyacinth sing of spring and can be tucked into tiny containers such as egg cups.
Any spring display must include eggs, feathers and nests. Chicken eggs lend themselves to being carefully topped and stuffed with moss or miniature flowers. A duck or goose egg can be a vessel for a single grape hyacinth bulb. Quail eggs are very charming tucked into arrangements or used as a top dressing for a potted plant.
Tin basket yellow mini daffs, blue anemones, pink germinis and pink wax flower crowd each other to create a full, layered spring garden. If a chosen basket will not hold water, place a plastic container inside.
Vintage duck containers found at a garage sale would be too cute at any other time of the year. White tulips cut very short look like eggs. A small piece of chicken wire in the bottom of the container holds the flowers in place.
Glass "egg" containers are perfect for miniature flowers — grape hyacinth, viburnum and checkerboard frittilliara. A vase with a small opening keeps each flower in place without the use of any "mechanics." This is the type of arrangement that would look fabulous repeated in a group on a tray as a centrepiece, or use one at each place setting.
A lavender-coloured glass vase can be filled with hellebores all in tints and shades of purple, so the shape and colour of the flowers echoes the shape and colour of the vase. A leafless birch branch can be twisted into a circular shape that also echoes the shape of the vase. No "mechanics" are needed to hold the arrangement in place. The blooms are just allowed to fall naturally and gracefully.
