Behind every great coach is a great spouse.
Florida Gators baseball coach Kevin O'Sullivan and his staff are living proof. O'Sullivan said coaches' wives are every bit as "invested" in success as the coaches themselves.
College coaching in any sport is a year-round business. Seasons are a grind that would make the typical 9-5er want to drive their Toyota Prius off a Suwanee River bridge.
There is no "off" time during the offseason, either. It's the same arrive-before-sunrise-and-leave-well-after-sundown approach that occurs 24/7 during the regular season.
It takes a special spouse, and family, to handle the routine. Coaches learn, thanks to words of wisdom from coaching fraternity veterans, to make sure their wives-to-be understand the profession before they become wives. To understand weeks may go by where the only quality time is the kiss-on-the-cheek goodbye or goodnight.
"She's known about the schedule for a long time," O'Sullivan said of his wife, the former Barbara Jo Davis. "She knows my love for this job and what all that entails. She understands the amount of time and effort it takes to be successful at this level.
"She's always been extremely supportive. That's never been an issue with us."
One article published in 2007 said the divorce rate for "successful" coaches in one professional sport mirrors that of Hollywood's. It didn't offer any data to support that claim but the simple truth is some wives cannot handle playing second base to any husband's job that comes first, demanding much more than the normal 40-hour work week.
It's not that coaches love their jobs more than their families. Not in the slightest. There's just a competitive spirit and pride, perhaps engrained in them by hard-working parents, driving them daily to be the best.
"When I am home, I do spend as much quality time with everybody as much as I possibly can and have a normal family life when I get home," O'Sullivan said.
All college coaches, at least the successful ones, work tirelessly. The light in Florida football coach Will Muschamp's office must be an LED bulb because, unless the team is practicing or out of town, it's almost always on.
Burning the midnight oil so much means families often must go to the coaches' workplace if they want to "see daddy" for a quick visit.
Coaches often refer to their team as "a family," and it truly becomes an extended family as players get to know their coaches' sons or daughters thanks to those few precious moments when family and teams mix.
That's why it's not surprising to see coaches' kids or wives hanging around the Florida baseball complex from time-to-time. It certainly helps create that family atmosphere — and that's an awesome thing.
"Starting in January the season starts and then when the season is over you're on the road recruiting — literally the next day — and you go all the way through August when school starts," O'Sullivan said. "Then when school starts it' a combination of practice with team and individual work and also recruiting because there is a lot of recruiting in the fall and then it goes all the way through now.
"So if one of our coaches can spend some quality time, even an hour, having lunch with their family down at the baseball facility then we're certainly all for it.
"It makes for a healthy environment."
Three months ago O'Sullivan and his wife welcomed their second child, a son named Finn Thomas, into the Gator Nation. They also have a three-year-old daughter named Payton Tyler.
While Finn's birth did delay the start of fall practice by a few days, it hasn't changed O'Sullivan's daily routine of readying his young team for a run at a fourth consecutive College World Series berth.
"I'm still putting in the same hours and the same amount of time," O'Sullivan said. "One thing that did change a whole lot more is I'm changing a lot more diapers, but as far as the day to day stuff, it's about the same. It's just a lot more crowded in the house so to speak."
One of the small windows when college baseball coaches can take a break is Christmastime. The O'Sullivan's often would travel for the holidays, but a new baby means this Christmas will mostly be "very relaxing just being around the house." Even still, O'Sullivan — and Barbara Jo — knows he will be fielding phone calls and exchanging emails while going over all aspects of his team and even planning practice schedules.
The Gators open 2013 with a three-game series against Duke that begins Feb. 15. Fortunately for the coaches, and their families, the first 22 games are in the state of Florida.
In other words, they'll be home for the first month of the season. Of course, little actual time will be spent at their actual homes.
"I would say that the success that we've had here definitely has lot to do with the wives we have," O'Sullivan said. "That's not just my wife, all of our coaches have wonderful wives who understand it because it's not easy for wives and families in this profession.
"You're only going to be as good as how supportive your wife is."

J. Losco, Chairperson The world and its problems are both the main concern and the principal laboratory of the modern political scientist. Political scientists study the political behavior of people, groups, and nations in an effort to understand why they behave as they do, to predict what they will do next, and sometimes to suggest how they should behave in the future. Students interested in attending law school may declare a pre-law designation and will be advised of the selected courses needed to meet entrance requirements into law school. For information on the major in legal studies (an American Bar Association approved paralegal program) and on the European studies minor, see the listing for Interdepartmental Programs or contact the Political Science department.
Students will be guided by the outline of baccalaureate degrees, the University Core Curriculum, and the concentration areas listed below.

See "Israeli police sent on wild-goose chase"
The Israeli police knew they didn't have a shred of evidence against me other than some hateful letter filled with false accusations that misled them.
As honestly reported in The Jerusalem Post article he referred to [Edward Abington, Jr.'s State Department letter], I wasn't interrogated...by 6 different SECRET SERVICEMEN about the TEMPLE MOUNT because of an "expired visa!" I charged Ms. Leech (his assistant) with complicity in their unjust actions against me for going along with their lie that my visa was expired and for turning a blind eye to their undemocratic ways. I'd given her a letter for Mr. Abington, Jr. to PROTEST MY POLITICAL ABUSE AND RELIGIOUS MISTREATMENT. Since he never bothered to respond, I'm not sure he even received it.
It was difficult to deal with Ms. Leech...since she was quite antagonistic, contending that Israel wanted to deport me because "you wanted to blow up the mosque." When I protested that simply was NOT TRUE, she angrily ordered her assistant, "Go see what he's charged with." He came back and said, "Visa violation." So she KNEW the real reason I was in jail was for being a member of the Temple Mount Faithful, but later went along with their LIE about my visa...
Mr. Abington, Jr. falsely accused me of being proud about my imprisonment. I'm not proud of it nor ashamed, but I do believe in making the most out of a bad situation...Why shouldn't I use my horrible experience to underscore and further the JUST CAUSE of the Temple Mount Faithful? How could anyone fail to understand this?...After all, it's the TEMPLE Mount, not the mosque mount!
Is it too much for an INNOCENT AMERICAN to expect his government to stand up for him? All I've requested from the beginning is for the Consul General to STRONGLY PROTEST my unjust imprisonment and deportation. They know what I say is the truth, but because of their hostile views, they're playing deaf, dumb and blind to the fact that I was a POLITICO-RELIGIOUS PRISONER.- "Why Edward Abington, Jr. Must Be Investigated!"

The seat is awesome!! i love JP Cycles...i have 2 Harleys and have priced several sites for products. The Gold Club membership always makes JP the best choice!!
Could not wait to attach my new seat to the bike. In 22 degree temps and put it on and WOW what a difference it made in the look and style. I took it for a short ride and it felt great. Thanks again.
nice seat puts you farther back then the regal i have.
Just put 1300 miles on this seat this weekend loved it
Seat is very hard. If you are very tall and weigh in on lighter end this might work for you. I'm 5 10 and a half put me up higher and back much further where I had to be all stretched out maximum to reach anything.
I bought this seat for a Touring bike my bad. Love the way it looks but it sets me back too far and puts me up higher then my stock. If you're under 6 feet this is not the seat. Beware once you try you can not return or exchange.
2008 883XL Low Comfortable. Looks good. Will seat you pretty far back. Requires relocating computer in order to fit on my bike. Easy, just zip tie the computer under the batter cover.
Item was delivered promptly. Accurately described. This seat is low profile, sits you lower and further back, firm but not uncomfortable. Good quality. Gap between seat and tank minimal on 4.5 gal Sportster. Exactly what I expected.
The tripper is a great seat, just not for me. Turns out I had to learn the more expensive way that I'm partial to the wider OEM seat after all! Otherwise, quality is superb.
great fit and feel !! looks great too !
just did 1000 miles of italian/french autostrada, and parts of the SS1 through cinque terra italy in 2 days. this seat is AMAZING
Quality, well made seat, that is a major styling improvement over the stock seat.
i put this seat on a 2009 street glide and this seat is awesome.if your about six feet or more this is the seat for you,it puts you back further than stock and is narrower.not much comfort for the passenger though,but who needs a passenger.
I Road to NH. I from Mass ,It took me 2 Hours. I love seat It was very Comfortable.
Mustang makes a quality product and you can see it in this seat. Such a different feel from the OEM seat. This is a great low profile seat to throw on when you take the tour pak off. Feels lower but wider than OEM. Pushes my thighs out just a touch. The pad is really firm but comfortable. This seat adds some style to your look. There is literally no cushion for a passenger. Great customer service from J&P. If you are not a Gold Club member, you should be.
Looks really good on my '09 Street Glide and is more comfortable than I thought it would be. Bought it for the lower profile look for shorter rides.. At 5'7" w/ a 29" inseam, it did sit me back a little and so I am having to make adjustments to bars and highway pegs so I can reach them better.
very hard seat
I took a ride NH it took me 2 Hour. (Massachusetts). The Seat was fine. No discomfort. I recommend Seat.
Awsome seat. Love the way it made my bike look 100% better look
Horrible seat, honestly it's making me wonder about the reviews on here. It's all show, it lifts you higher up and is as hard as a rock. The worst part is that the only way to know this is to bolt it on the bike but the minute you do that you can't return it. I guess I now know why. Robbed for $300 bucks! Save your money
Seats, once mounted, cannot be returned. Returned seats must be in new condition with no evidence of wear or mount marks. Be careful to check fitment before mounting your new seat. When checking fitment of seat, place a cloth under seat, do not bolt down seat. Carefully set seat on bike and check fitment.

California consumers may see rebate from energy crisis
By DON THOMPSON
Of the Associated Press
SACRAMENTO — California electricity consumers could see $1.6 billion in refunds from energy wholesalers that profited from the state's energy crisis more than a dozen years ago, if an administrative law judge's recommendation holds up under review, regulators said Tuesday.
The California Public Utilities Commission praised the judge's interim ruling as a victory for a state that saw energy prices spike to unprecedented heights amid rolling blackouts in the summer of 2000. The state itself bought billions of dollars' worth of electricity to keep the lights on.
The judge sided with the state in finding that more than a dozen electricity wholesalers artificially drove up energy prices.
"There was massive manipulation going on in the market by virtually all these sellers," said Frank Lindh, the commission's general counsel. "This is fabulous news for California. It's really a vindication for us."
The commission calculated the potential rebates from a formula adopted by the judge in a decision issued Friday. The recommendation now goes before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
If commissioners agree, the decision then must survive a likely court challenge by the wholesalers.
One of those is the Bonneville Power Administration, based in Portland, Spokesman Michael Hansen said the utility is "disappointed" with the recommendation but would have no more comment until it reviews the decision.
Other electricity wholesalers found liable in the judge's ruling could not immediately be reached.
Pacific Gas & Electric Co. and Southern California Edison, both of which had to buy power at inflated prices during the energy crisis, also could not immediately comment. Edison spokeswoman Lauren Bartlett said the company was still reviewing the 72-page decision by Presiding Administrative Law Judge Philip Baten.
The case dates to August 2000, when San Diego Gas & Electric Co. filed a complaint with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission seeking a cap on escalating wholesale energy prices. That began what the judge described as a "long arduous journey" through the regulatory and judicial systems.
The commission initially rejected California's bid for damages from what the state claimed was an organized effort to artificially inflate electricity prices under California's newly deregulated energy market.
The state sued and won a reversal from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in 2006. Baten issued his recommendation after a trial last year that produced more than 10,000 pages of transcripts and nearly 1,000 exhibits.
"The tortuous factual background of the California energy crisis that underpins this proceeding is lengthy and complex," Baten noted in issuing his ruling.
He found that wholesalers artificially exported electricity from California and then sold it back into the state at inflated prices.
Based on Baten's formula for assessing damages, the providers would owe $1 billion in rebates plus another $600 million in interest, said Lindh, of the PUC.
"It has to be voted on by the full five-member commission, but it carries a lot of weight," Lindh said. "The losers can always file an appeal. The appeal process on a $1 billion case could drag out for a long time."
If the damages eventually are paid, the Public Utilities Commission said the money would be refunded to consumers as an offset against their current electric bills.

STD Statistics in Woodbridge
When STDs are contracted in communities such as Woodbridge, Virginia people may become infertile, die, or increase their healthcare costs. Be sure to ask your partner of their status before engaging in sex. Safe sex can help to save lives. From 2006 to 2011 Woodbridge, Virginia was ranked highly in terms of chlamydia and gonorrhea infections. Seventy-five percent of the cases reported occur in people between the ages of 15 and 29. The highest incidence of this disease occurs in women between the ages of 15 and 19 and men between the ages of 20 and 24. Using the Center for Disease Control's 2016 STD Surveillance Report for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis and extrapolated using the latest 2011 US Census, it is estimated that 0.2 incidents of syphilis, 19.8 cases of chlamydia and 5.5 cases of gonorrhea, would be attributed to Woodbridge in 2016.
As the Woodbridge data illustrates, women have a much higher chance of contracting genital herpes (HSV-2) than men: 11 percent of men and 21 percent of women nationally. AIDS remains a concern for all communities. HIV-AIDS is an autoimmune disorder that affects how the body heals and reacts to outside factors. AIDS can be fatal if left untreated. Although the number of Hepatitis A, B, and C has been declining in Woodbridge, Virginia there continue to be cases reported particularly in the last 12 months.

Our testing locations offer private, top-quality STD testing just like you would receive from your doctor's office without the added expense and inconvenience of an office visit just to have that doctor place the order for those tests.
Why is testing important?
Because STDs are more common than you may realize, with nearly 20 million new STD cases occurring every year, according to nationwide CDC estimates. Their affects can be quite serious. For instance, HIV infection can progress to AIDS, and gonorrhea, Chlamydia and syphilis can lead to infertility without treatment. These examples show just how important it is that these and other STDs do not go undetected for lack of a simple health test, easily done via STD testing centers near Woodbridge, VA.
When should you seek STD testing?
Clearly, if you know or suspect that a partner is affected by a sexually transmitted disease, looking into STD testing centers near Woodbridge, Virginia is important to protecting your health, as is seeking immediate treatment should you receive positive results. However, STD testing is also essential for all sexually active individuals. That's because STDs don't always come with obvious symptoms. Some may produce no symptoms at all, while others may present mild ones that are easily mistaken for a cold or flu. For this reason, ensuring your sexual and overall health means getting regular screening tests for common STDs. Just how often you should schedule test days depends on your individual circumstances. If in doubt, consult a healthcare professional for an appropriate testing routine for your needs.

Local Government Departments
A number of local government authorities have deposited items relating to their work and the work of individual departments. Hampshire County Council, for example, commissions videos about its services, whilst its Emergency Planning department had a cinefilm made about a civil defence exercise in the New Forest in 1959.
Southampton City Council and Winchester City Council also commissioned films, often from amateur film makers, to document local civic activities like the opening of a fire station by the Mayor, or royal visits. In this regard, several local authorities managed to obtain film footage shot locally by newsreel companies, with Romsey Town Council being a good example regarding the Mountbatten family.
Portsmouth City Council also commissioned films and is notable for footage shot by its engineering department in the 1960s and 1970s, showing road schemes and construction work on the M27 motorway. There are further items in the collections of Gosport Borough Council, Christchurch Borough Council, Poole Council, West Berkshire District Council and Reading City Council.

Forget that 7-0 start, Beavers 0-1 after upset by Eastern Washington
CORVALLIS -- So much for that 7-0 start to Oregon State's football season.
Eastern Washington busted up the Beavers' 2013 opener just as Sacramento State had two years earlier, Vernon Adams' 2-yard touchdown run with 18 seconds remaining providing the winning points in a 49-46 victory Saturday at Reser Stadium.
The Eagles, ranked fourth in the FCS ranks after reaching the national semifinals a year ago, were too much for Oregon State's defense, running up 31 first downs and a staggering 625 yards total offense.
The visitors were forced to punt only once -- and that came in the third quarter when Adams was briefly sidelined with cramps.
Many had looked at Oregon State's early schedule and projected victory over the first seven opponents. That's not going to happen now.
It was a butt-whipping rarely seen by an FCS offense against an FBS defense, leaving the 25th-ranked Beavers searching for adjectives to describe their feelings afterward.
"It would have to be shock, for them to come into our house and do that to us," OSU linebacker Michael Doctor said.
"Those guys played probably their best game, and we didn't," Beaver tailback Storm Woods added. "It was as simple as that."
While directing Eastern Washington's no-huddle, spread offense, Adams was the second coming of Michael Vick, only a more accurate passer. The 6-foot, 190-pound sophomore from Pasadena, Calif. -- a Freshman All-American last year while dividing time with senior Kyle Padron -- rolled up 518 yards in total offense, more than any opponent has amassed against Oregon State in its 120-year football history.
Adams completed 23 of 30 passes for 411 yards and four touchdowns, ran for 107 yards and two scores and slipped through OSU defenders as if he were a ghost.
"He made some unbelievable escape plays, bought time and executed so well," Oregon State coach Mike Riley said. "His quickness was outstanding. He froze our guys and eluded them, sometimes two or three at a time. He's a really good player. He kept things alive, made some throws on the run, and they made some great catches for him."
It was a shootout on the gridiron, the teams combining for 95 points, 61 first downs, 1,152 yards total offense and 870 yards passing. It wasn't over until Trevor Romaine's 52-yard field-goal attempt that had the distance missed wide right at the final buzzer sounded, sending the Eagles into a frenzy as they celebrated a victory over the Beavers.
Two years ago, Washington escaped with a 30-27 win over Eastern Washington. Last season, it was Washington State skating with a 24-20 victory. This time, the Eagles sealed the deal by finding the end zone on Adams' bootleg in the closing seconds.
"Huge win," Eastern Washington coach Beau Baldwin said. "We aren't talking about (beating) an average team. We are talking about a bowl team and a big-time opponent that's well-coached.
"It took every ounce of every minute in this sucker to get it done."
From his angle, Baldwin thought Romaine's attempt at a game-tying kick was good.
"I was going to be so upset," the sixth-year Eagle coach said. "We would have played overtime and come up with a few more plays."
Neither team's offense could have done much more. Neither team had a turnover. There were only four punts, three by Oregon State's Tim McMullen. Eastern Washington scored on nine of its 10 possessions in the game. The Beavers scored touchdowns on all four of their drives in the second half until the end.
"Can't do any better than that," Riley said. "The way that game was going, it was whoever had the ball last was going to win it."
After Adams' final touchdown, the Beavers nearly gave themselves a chance for overtime. Taking the ball at their 26-yard line with 15 seconds remaining, Sean Mannion first hit Richard Mullaney for 19 yards, then found Brandin Cooks for 21 yards to the Eastern Washington 34 with three seconds left.
That brought on Romaine, whose kick just missed forcing an extra session.
Oregon State's offensive numbers were terrific, including 30 first downs, 527 yards total offense and 422 yards passing.
Mannion, named only Monday as the starting quarterback, had the best statistical game of his career. He connected on his first 12 passes and finished 37 of 43 for 422 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions.
"There were some good plays, but in the end, the only thing that matters is the final score," the 6-5, 220-pound junior said.
Cooks caught 13 passes for 196 yards and two touchdowns and ran twice for 14 yards, Connor Hamlett had eight receptions for 85 yards and a TD. and Woods rushed for 66 yards and a pair of scores and snared eight passes for 44 yards.
Then there was the Oregon State defense, which was dreadful throughout.
"We weren't in great position to make plays," Riley said. "We didn't tackle very well. We didn't take advantage of some opportunities to get them off the field."
The Eagles had 31 plays for eight yards or more -- "we gave up lots of big plays," Riley said -- with Adams often the catalyst. And they often found ways to get out of long-yardage situations for first downs.
"That started (on the Eagles' second series) when we had them third-and-14, we bust a coverage, they kind of throw a prayer and nobody from our team is there," said Riley, referencing a 49-yard reception by Ashton Clark. "It started like that and got worse."
Is Riley concerned about the OSU defense?
"Until we fix it, there's major concern," he said. "Until we get in position, tackle better and make some plays. we have a lot to look at to work to get better."
Eastern Washington's halftime numbers were astonishing -- 376 yards total offense, 268 yards passing, 17 first downs and scores on all six possessions. Adams accounted for 317 of those yards, going 13-for-18 passing for 268 yards and three touchdowns and scrambling for 49 yards on the ground.
Trailing 29-17, Oregon State came out for the third quarter meaning business, moving 79 yards in 10 plays. Mannion hit Cooks for a 7-yard TD pass to cut the Eagles' lead to 29-24 with 9:47 left in the quarter.
The Eagles suffered a temporary blow when Adams had to leave the game with cramps on their first possession of the third quarter. Backup Anthony Vitto was sacked for a 15-yard loss by Doctor, and after a punt and 12-yard return by Rashaad Reynolds, the Beavers took the ball at the visitors' 49-yard line.
From there, it took them five plays to seize the lead. Caleb Smith's terrific 19-yard run-and-catch of a Mannion aerial set up Woods' three-yard TD run. A two-point conversion catch by Tyler Perry gave the Beavers a 32-29 edge with 4:22 left in the third quarter.
Adams returned on Eastern Washington's next series. His 19-yard scramble for a touchdown on third-and-10 pushed the Eagles back ahead 36-32 with 1:29 remaining in the quarter.
Oregon State responded with a seven-play, 75-yard scoring drive. Cooks' 14-yard TD catch gave the Beavers a 39-36 lead with 13:46 to play.
Back came the Eagles, who recaptured the lead at 43-39 after Blair Bomber's 47-yard reception for a score with 10:30 left.
Oregon State answered with another TD drive, Terron Ward carrying over from four yards for a 46-43 lead with 4:50 to play. The Beavers gave Eastern Washington's offense too much time to operate, though.
The Eagles moved into the red zone where, on third-and-goal from the four and less than a minute remaining, OSU cornerback Sean Martin was called for pass interference in the end zone, giving the visitors first-and-goal at the 2. Two plays later, Adams skirted left and -- with everyone in the stadium expecting him to run -- Doctor dropped back into pass coverage, allowing the Eagle QB to walk into the end zone untouched.
"I said, 'Coach, let's go with the boot(leg),' " Adams said. "I'm so thankful I scored."
What happened to Oregon State's defense on Saturday?
"I don't know," Woods said. "I don't know at all."
But Oregon State's offense players were careful not to point a finger at their defensive teammates.
"There's none of that," Mannion said. "No one played a perfect game. We have our defense's back. One hundred times out of 100, they would do the same for us.
"Our offense left some plays on the field. We had a couple of three-and-outs in the first half. You always do it as a team."
"There's no blame on this game," said Hamlett, the 6-7, 265-pound junior tight end. "It's on everyone. It's nice to see we put up some big points, but we play as a team, and we didn't get the job done."
"We had our ups and downs last year," Woods said. "Sometimes it would be offense, sometimes defense. I don't think it'll be any different this year. The defense had a tough game today, but I guarantee they'll bounce back because of our leaders and our coaching staff. Coach Riley will demand it."
Two years ago, Sacramento State's 29-28 overtime upset at Reser started the Beavers into a 3-9 season. After Saturday's second loss to an FCS opponent in a 24-month span, this year's Beavers say a tailspin won't happen again.
"I told the guys we can go one of two ways," Reynolds said. "We can take it and learn from it, or we can lay down. We have the team to respond. We didn't play to our potential today, but we have the guys to do it."
Riley said the Beavers will dive into fixing things as they prepare for next Saturday's home test with Hawaii.
"We have some shortcomings we have to get better at," he said. "If we do that, we can still have a good team. (The Eagles) came to the front today and played about flawless football on offense, and we couldn't match it."
Is Riley confident his players will respond?
"We have to prove that," he said. "I can't sit here and pound the table about anything until we win another game. We'll try to do that next week. There's enough here with this group that we'll definitely we better than we were today."
NOTES -- Adams bested the OSU opponents' total offense record of 515 yards set by Washington State's Alex Brink in 2005. Eastern Washington's Kevin Miller, a senior from Portland's Centennial High, was 3 for 3 on field-goal attempts, converting from 33, 23 and 36 yards in the first half. Another Portland-area product, receiver Ashton Clark from Vancouver's Heritage High, had a big day for the Eagles, catching nine passes for 155 yards and a touchdown. As a deference to injuries, Riley chose not to have the Beavers scrimmage during training camp. Were the OSU defenders rusty Saturday? "That's not an excuse," Reynolds said. "We've all played football for a long time. It was sloppy out there today. We have to step that up." Oregon State played without four regulars -- linebacker D.J. Alexander (knee), center Isaac Seumalo (knee), offensive tackle Gavin Andrews (mononucleosis) and punter Keith Kostol (ankle). .. Riley said Seumalo approached him after pregame warmups "and said he didn't feel quite right." Sophomore Josh Mitchell went the route at center in Seumalo's absence. Cooks was shaken up in the closing seconds and had to be helped off the field. Riley said after the game he didn't know of Cooks' condition.
Eastern Washington lists players from Oregon and Vancouver, Wash., including starters Miller, Clark, Steven Forgette (senior guard, Vancouver's Heritage High), Ashton Miller (senior center, Vancouver's Evergreen High) and Brandon Murphy (senior guard, West Albany). Others include sophomore offensive lineman T.J. Boatright (Vancouver's Union High), junior tight end Zach Chapman (Vancouver's Mountain View High), freshman offensive lineman William Lopez (Vancouver's Skyview High), freshman defensive lineman Matthew Sommer (West Salem), sophomore defensive back Miles Weatheroy and sophomore linebacker Jordan Talley (both Jesuit), sophomore tight end Jake Withnell (South Salem), freshman receiver Kendrick Bourne (Milwaukie), freshman offensive lineman Samson Ebukam (David Douglas) and senior tight end Cody Humphrey (Hermiston).

History of AICPA Volunteering
History of AICPA. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and its predecessors have a history dating back to 1887, when the American Association of Public Accountants (AAPA) was formed. In 1916, the American Association was succeeded by the Institute of Public Accountants, at which time there was a membership of 1,150. The name was changed to the American Institute of Accountants in 1917 and remained so until 1957, when it changed to its current name of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The American Society of Certified Public Accountants was formed in 1921 and acted as a federation of state societies. The Society was merged into the Institute in 1936 and, at that time, the Institute agreed to restrict its future members to CPAs.
History of Committees. The use of committees began even before the AAPA was formed in 1887. At the first meeting of what would become the AAPA on December 22, 1886, those present authorized the appointment of a committee to draft rules and regulations. Beyond this first preliminary committee, the first Bylaws of the AAPA in 1897 established three committees: Finance and Audit Committee, Committee on Elections, Qualifications and Examinations, and the Committee on Bylaws. The number of committees grew continually over the years. In the 1940s there were 34 committees, by 1960, there were 89, and by 1970, the number had grown to 109. In 1999, the nearly 120 existing committees underwent a re-organization with approximately half of the standing committees being replaced with a volunteer group model that placed an increased emphasis on the use of task forces. The increased use of task forces allowed for more targeted efforts, with the task forces being given a specific assignment then disbanding upon completion of that assignment. Also, in 1999 the first tracking and management of task forces began. Collectively, more than 2,000 volunteers contribute to the AICPA's fulfilling its mission.
Need for Volunteer Groups. The AICPA organization consists of volunteer groups and staff working together to achieve the Institute's objectives. Volunteer Groups help present the interests, needs' and attitudes of the membership; and assist the Institute in maintaining high standards of professional practice, promoting the interest of CPAs, serving as a spokesperson for the profession, and providing appropriate services to members. An effective volunteer group structure can generate sound group judgment, provide continuity of thinking, and help bring together a cross section of member knowledge and experience. It also provides for leaders of the profession. The most important reason for organizing a volunteer group is the need for member guidance and representation.

Prepare passwd file for use
These routines perform the same functions as their counterparts in the system library. In list context, the
return values from the various get routines are as follows:
$quota,$comment,$gcos,$dir,$shell,$expire) = getpw*
($name,$passwd,$gid,$members) = getgr*
($name,$aliases,$addrtype,$length,@addrs) = gethost*
($name,$aliases,$addrtype,$net) = getnet*
($name,$aliases,$proto) = getproto*
($name,$aliases,$port,$proto) = getserv*
(If the entry doesn't exist you get a null list.)
In scalar context, you get the name, unless the function was a lookup by name, in which case you get the other
thing, whatever it is. (If the entry doesn't exist you get the undefined value.) For example:
$uid = getpwnam($name);
$name = getpwuid($num);
$name = getpwent();
$gid = getgrnam($name);
$name = getgrgid($num;
$name = getgrent();
In getpw*() the fields $quota, $comment, and $expire are special
cases in the sense that in many systems they are unsupported. If the $quota is unsupported, it is
an empty scalar. If it is supported, it usually encodes the disk quota. If the $comment field is unsupported,
it is an empty scalar. If it is supported it usually encodes some administrative comment about the user. In some
systems the $quota field may be $change or $age, fields that have to do
with password aging. In some systems the $comment field may be $class. The $expire
field, if present, encodes the expiration period of the account or the password. For the availability and the exact
meaning of these fields in your system, please consult your getpwnam(3) documentation and your pwd.h
file. You can also find out from within Perl which meaning your $quota and $comment fields
have and whether you have the $expire field by using the Config module and the values
d_pwquota, d_pwage, d_pwchange, d_pwcomment, and d_pwexpire.
The $members value returned by getgr*() is a space separated list of the login names of
the members of the group.
For the gethost*() functions, if the h_errno variable is supported in C,
it will be returned to you via $? if the function call fails. The @addrs value returned
by a successful call is a list of the raw addresses returned by the corresponding system library call. In the Internet
domain, each address is four bytes long and you can unpack it by saying something like:
($a,$b,$c,$d) = unpack('C4',$addr[0]);
If you get tired of remembering which element of the return list contains which return value, by-name interfaces
are also provided in modules: File::stat, Net::hostent, Net::netent, Net::protoent,
Net::servent, Time::gmtime, Time::localtime, and User::grent.
These override the normal built-in, replacing them with versions that return objects with the appropriate names
for each field. For example:
use File::stat;
use User::pwent;
$is_his = (stat($filename)->uid == pwent($whoever)->uid);
Even though it looks like they're the same method calls (uid), they aren't, because a File::stat
object is different from a User::pwent object.

September 19, 2013 (TOKYO) --Honda Motor Co. is recalling 318,000 Odyssey minivans in the U.S. and 63,400 Acura MDX sport-utility vehicles in several nations for an airbag defect.
The Japanese automaker says there have been no crashes related to the problem. Honda is also recalling 23,300 Odyssey minivans in Canada.
Tokyo-based Honda said Thursday it received complaints recently that the airbag had opened unnecessarily in the 2003 and 2004 model year Odyssey and the 2003 Acura MDX because the computer chip for airbag deployment was responding to an electrical interference.
Honda says a part called an electrical noise filter needs to be installed to prevent the problem.
The Acura MDX recall covers 56,000 vehicles in the U.S., 1,000 in Japan, 4,800 in Canada and nearly 1,600 in Australia.

Give your cat a nose-to-tail exam, making sure that its ears and teeth are clean and odorless, fur is free of parasites, skin is lump- and bump-free, and weight has remained stable.read more
In difficult times, cat lovers all over the country have separately rallied to make sure that no cat is left unfed. Grassroots pet food banks have sprung up in most regions, with local humane societies offering contact information for needy or infirm pet owners in their communities. Below, organizers and satisfied customers tell their stories and share tips on how to receive food bank services.
The Central Florida Animal Pantry
When Erica Wilson and her 9-year-old son, Zach, went to a Florida shelter to find a companion for their dog, Brandi, Zach found himself face-to-face with a problem he never knew existed: homeless animals abandoned because their owners couldn't afford to feed them.
"We knew we needed to do something," says Wilson. What began as a Cub Scout food drive grew into a full-on food pantry in the spring of 2009, when a distribution location in Longwood, Fla., was donated for their use. They distribute an average of 600 pounds of food a week, much of it donated by major manufacturers.
"We meet people from all walks of life here, from those who've struggled all their lives to those who aren't used to asking for help, but now have no other choice," says Wilson. The organization also provides food to the disabled and elderly as well.
Tree House Humane Society
When Marcus Newell of Chicago, Ill., lost his job four years ago, he wasn't sure how he was going to continue to support himself and his family -- let alone his two cats, Diamond and Whiskers. He mentioned his concerns to a worker at public assistance, who told him about Tree House Humane Society, a no-kill cat shelter in Chicago. Tree House also runs a pet food pantry to make food available to owners who might otherwise no longer be able to adequately provide for their companion animals.
Newell has been delighted with the quality and quantity of the food Tree House has provided, and also with the time he's gotten to spend with other cats when he picks up his supplies.
Save Our Pets Food Bank
In 2008, former CEO Ann King of Atlanta, Ga., had a 30,000-square-foot building and a dream. She wanted to fill her warehouse with pet food and hand it out to people who could no longer afford to feed their animals. King approached a local food pantry -- specializing in feeding people -- and asked if they could help her to distribute her wares. "They told me they didn't think there was a need, which I knew was crazy," says King.
King got going without them, and in the last three years her food bank has helped over 700 families and 200 rescue organizations and shelters in Georgia through donations from independent supporters and pet food manufacturers alike.
"I hear stories about the lengths people have gone to try to keep their pets with them," says King. "One woman was living in her car with her two cats. We helped her feed them, and eventually to find housing that accepted pets. Meeting our clients makes me feel grateful."

I have no grand insights to offer but this is too awful and too … astounding, really, to be relegated to Headlines. These people were the tip of the American spear against jihadist kingpins in the Afghan/Pakistani border region, the innermost circle in a big Venn diagram that starts with the CIA, proceeds to the units tasked with finding intel on AQ, and ends with the elite charged with building the target list for drone operators. In one split second, that last circle was practically erased.
If you thought the biggest security breach of the past week was Flight 253, think again.
The Pakistani Taliban claimed that the bombing was carried out by a CIA operative who switched sides and offered to help the Taliban. The Associated Press quoted a commander from the Pakistan Taliban, Qari Hussain, who claimed the attack was in retaliation for the CIA's drone attacks aimed at Taliban leaders across the border in Pakistan. The drone strikes have succeeded in killing several top Taliban commanders, including chief Baitullah Mehsud…
ABC News has learned that the bomber was invited into the heavily guarded camp as a possible informant, but wasn't searched.
The bomber, who was dressed in an Afghan military uniform, was escorted to the gym for a meeting with a senior CIA debriefer, according to intelligence sources familiar with the incident. When the bomber was brought into the gym he blew himself up, killing seven and seriously injuring an additional six officers who had gathered there to wait for him.
Needless to say, it was almost certainly an inside job:
Several former intelligence officials described the attack in Afghanistan as
"devastating" to the agency. A number of the officers killed had been counterterrorism operatives since before the 9/11 attacks. The base played a critical role in the CIA's significant operations in the country, including helping with drone attacks and informant networks in Pakistan…
According to a military official who works on Afghan issues, Chapman has grown substantially in recent months and is a base for both military and intelligence operations. Because of its size, the officer said, the suicide bomber likely penetrated multiple layers of security before detonating the explosives…
Forward operating bases typically house hundreds of soldiers, and Afghan forces and private contractors also often live on such bases. But CIA outposts on these bases are usually small—no more than 15 or maybe 20 people, so 13 casualties is likely a majority of the CIA base personnel, said one former agency official.
Among the dead: The CIA's base chief, a mother of three. My suspicion with sophisticated Taliban operations like this always runs to jihadbot elements in Pakistan's intel agency, but corruption among Afghan security is a fact of life and the Journal says the base's mission was an open secret among Afghan locals. It's possible — and actually way more disturbing — to think that this was totally freelanced, with Afghan "allies" inside the base either bought off or coopted by the Taliban to look the other way at security checkpoints. The question is, why now? They've had every incentive to hit the base over the past eight years. It'd be interesting to know how many attacks have been attempted over time or whether some sort of change was made recently to security that might have invited an attempt.
I'll leave you on a positive note: The revenge has already begun.
Update: Maybe it wasn't an inside job after all. Maybe the bomber was simply so trusted by base security that they waved him through — unbeknownst to them, as a newly minted Taliban double agent.
The informant was a Pakistani and a member of the Wazir tribe from the Pakistani tribal area North Waziristan, according to the same source. The base security director, an Afghan named Arghawan, would pick up the informant at the Ghulam Khan border crossing and drive him about two hours into Forward Operating Base Chapman, from where the CIA operates.
Because he was with Arghawan, the informant was not searched, the source says. Arghawan also died in the attack…
At least 13 officers gathered in the base's gym to talk with the informant, suggesting he was highly valued. His prior visits to the base and his ability to get so close to so many officers also suggests that he had already provided the agency with valuable intelligence that had proven successful, former intelligence officials say…
"The Soviet Union during the Cold War, the Cubans during the Cold War were able to run double agents against the CIA very successfully," says Clarke. "But for a non-nation state to be able to do this — for the Haqqani network of the Taliban to be able to do this — represents a huge increase in the sophistication of the enemy."
Yeah, no kidding. Until now, I figured the punishment for anyone caught by the Taliban assisting the CIA was beheading, not reprogramming. I wonder if they made the guy do it by threatening to kill his family or if they really did flip him. Just like I wonder how much bad info the CIA's getting right now from other informants who have gone bad.
As for the mystery of why the Taliban hit the base now instead of eight years ago, the Journal has the answer. Turns out this was their own version of a strike on one of the enemy's big fish:
"We attacked on that particular day because we knew the woman who was leading the team" was there, the commander said.

A Mississippi judge has temporarily blocked 21 of over 200 executive pardons and medical releases given this week by outgoing Republican Gov. Haley Barbour, raising further questions about whether the former presidential aspirant used his pardon powers injudiciously.
Circuit Judge Tomie Green temporarily blocked the pardons of 21 current and former inmates after a complaint by Attorney General Jim Hood, who was visibly angered by what he considered Governor Barbour's violation of the state constitution. Under the law, those seeking pardons have to publish their intentions in local newspapers, and Mr. Hood said that, in at least some of the cases, Barbour granted the reprieves even though notices had not been published.
In a statement about the decision, Barbour, a largely popular governor who left office Tuesday because of a term limit law, said the state parole board had already approved release of 90 percent of those pardoned, that the majority of them had already been released, and that his main goal was to restore voting and even hunting rights for Mississippians who had paid their price to society.
But the sheer number of the pardons, and the fact that four men released over the weekend were convicted murderers, raised ire, confusion, and even fear in Mississippi, where both Republicans and Democrats questioned Barbour's last act.
"The governor undermined both the verdict of the jury and the decision of the sentencing judge apparently because he thought that these were kind of good people. That's shocking to me, that because you think they're rehabilitated you're going to undo jury verdicts," says Jimmy Gurule, a former federal prosecutor who is now a law professor at the University of Notre Dame, in South Bend, Ind.
[ Video is no longer available. ]
Even those close to Barbour struggled to reconcile the pardon spree. "It's the magnitude of the number and the notoriety of some of the cases. There are some very angry people here" in Mississippi, says Curtis Wilkie, an Ole Miss journalism professor and childhood friend of Barbour.
Among those pardoned were Karen Irby, a Jackson socialite convicted of killing two doctors in a DUI-related crash, Ernest Favre, the brother of ex-NFL great Brett Favre, who killed his best friend in a 1997 drunk driving accident, and David Gatlin, a convicted wife-murderer who had earned good-behavior points by working as a trustee at the governor's mansion. Four of those released this weekend had worked at the mansion.
Barbour's record as governor gave at least some glimpse into his record-setting pardons. While the state executed nine people in the eight years he served as a law-and-order governor, he was also cited as a "shining example" by the NAACP last summer when he released two African-American women serving life in prison for an armed robbery that yielded $11.
As the pardons became the buzz of Mississippi, Barbour waited two days to make a statement. Released Wednesday night, the statement said 189 of the inmates had already been released by the state. "The pardons were intended to allow them to find gainful employment or acquire professional licenses as well as hunt and vote. My decision about clemency was based upon the recommendation of the Parole Board in more than 90 percent of the cases."
According to the Mississippi Department of Corrections, the five inmates released over the weekend were the only current prisoners released. Twenty-one others are still in prison, awaiting the processing of pardon paperwork, including the requirement that victims must be notified 48 hours prior to their release.
The five who were released over the weekend may have to go back to jail under Judge Green's order.
The release of the convicted murderers specifically, points to what Professor Gurule sees as a galling misuse of executive discretion.
"The pardon authority is reserved for the rare, extraordinary case where either there are substantial reasons to believe that justice was not done in a particular case – that perhaps an innocent man was unjustly convicted – or ... there are extenuating and compelling mitigating factors that justify release or justify a lesser sentence than the defendant received," he says.
"This strikes me as being so arbitrary that it renders the governor's pardon process not only abusive, but lawless. And it's an insult, I think, to the murder victims and to their family members."
Hood, the attorney general, said the main problem is that the return of civil rights to ex-convicts means their right to own a gun is restored, creating the potential for "public danger" especially in the cases of the freed convicted murderers.
"Hopefully it will be a lesson to any future governors that you just don't do this kind of thing. You've gotta read the law before you go out there and do something like that," Hood said.
Political scientists said the move seemed to underscore Barbour's decision last April to not run for president.

Whenever I say I am going to stop knitting to deadlines, let's just all assume that I am L-Y-I-N-G. Apparently, I love the added frisson of uncertainty (Can I get it done?) more than I loathe the agony of defeat.
I brought this on myself.
Way back in January, I started Fionn for my lovely husband. I had some vague idea that it would be done sometime soon, surely in 2010 because that's a whole year and even though I'm a slow knitter, how long could it take? It's a drop-shoulder sweater, after all – three pieces and Bob's your uncle. No sleeve cap, nothing. So I started the sweater, got up to the armholes, then went off and knit like eight other things, and Thanksgiving arrived. Of course, I was all "I am finishing this sweater for Christmas, or barring that, your birthday five days later." So I finished the body…and the armholes are too small. So I ripped out the three-needle bindoff, added some length, and the armholes were slightly less too small.
Now, there appears to be something interesting going on here which is not the designer's fault. I think I thought Fionn was more close-fitting than Jennifer Hagan intended; I liked it precisely because it was a drop-shoulder sweater that seemed more tailored than the average drop-shoulder sweater. However, careful comparison with other husband sweaters and consultation of the stellar book Knit to Fit by Ida Riley Duncan revealed that the ideal armhole depth for the sweater's recipient needed to be something like 11 inches rather than 8 (Have you read Knit to Fit? I cannot recommend it enough; Ida is the no-nonsense knitting aunt who asserts that "of course you can design your own sweaters – all it takes is math and a measuring tape!"). Coincidentally, 11 inches was the armhole depth for the 47″ size for Fionn…three inches bigger than the size I'm actually making.
But we like the size and ease and length of the body now, so rather than add length above (which would make it into a tunic), I am (once again) undoing the three needle bindoff, so I can rip back to where you see the orange marker in this picture and start the armholes earlier. I'm at peace with it, save for the fact that there's no way on God's green earth it's getting done in 2010. Now, 2011 (early 2011!), that's a different story.
I think the moral of the story is not "You should know what size to make" (because based on actual measurements, I thought I did – the armhole was an unanticipated hiccup). Maybe instead, it's "don't worry, you can totally fix it without having to reknit the whole thing. Just check with Ida."
