Police on Thursday released a physical description of a sexual predator who remains at large in Durango.
The man is believed to be in his late teens or early 20s and is described as possibly Hispanic or Native American, said Ray Shupe, spokesman with the Durango Police Department.
He is about 5 feet 6 inches tall; weighs about 150 pounds; has a medium build; and has short, dark-colored spiky hair, Shupe said.
He was last seen wearing a red Polo-type shirt with three buttons, dark nylon exercise-style workout pants, tennis shoes and was clean-shaven, Shupe said. The suspect did not appear to have any tattoos.
The man is accused of forcefully sexually assaulting a Durango woman about 5 a.m. Tuesday near west 30th Street. It is believed he entered a residence through an unlocked door or window.
Police have received reports in recent weeks of windows being tampered with in the area west of Main Avenue between 30th Street and 32nd Street.
Police are confident the incidents are related, Shupe said.
Police are asking the public to report any suspicious activity by calling 911 or the dispatch center at 385-2900.
Anyone with information about the assault or incidents of tampering is asked to call Detective Joe Farmer at 375-4732.

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Dodgers are about to find out if their $36 million investment in Hyun-Jin Ryu pays off in the postseason.
The 26-year-old rookie pitcher from South Korea will start Sunday night in the Dodgers' first home playoff game since 2009. Los Angeles is looking to take control of the best-of-five National League division series after splitting the first two games in Atlanta.
The Braves are turning to their own rookie, 22-year-old Julio Teheran.
Ryu isn't a typical rookie, having brought a wealth of experience from his native country when he signed with the Dodgers last winter. Teheran more accurately fits the description, with just four major league starts under his belt before this season.
Both the left-handed Ryu and right-handed Teheran went 14-8 during the regular season.
Teheran will be facing the Dodgers for the first time. Ryu made two regular-season starts against the Braves, both no-decisions. He gave up one run in 72/3 innings the last time he faced Atlanta on June 7.
Ryu threw a bullpen session Friday in Atlanta, something he rarely did during the regular season. He hasn't pitched since Sept. 29.
"Typically when I rest longer than normal, I always squeeze in a bullpen just to make sure that my body is responding the way I want it to," he said Saturday through a translator.
Ryu drew an audience for the session that included manager Don Mattingly, and Stan Conte and Dr. Neal ElAttrache of the team's medical staff. But Mattingly said there were no concerns about Ryu's health.
The Dodgers signed Ryu to a six-year deal, making him the first player to go from the Korean Baseball Organization to the major leagues.
Ryu has the support of ace Clayton Kershaw, who pitched the Dodgers to a 6-1 victory in the series opener.
"We don't consider him a rookie," Kershaw said. "The way he carries himself every day, we're really not worried about composure or the adrenaline getting to him, or anything like that. He has such a great feel for his four pitches."
Like Mattingly, Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez won't approach Teheran any differently just because he's making his postseason debut.
"I wouldn't even bring it up or anything," Gonzalez said. "He's going to go out and he's going to compete like he always has. If he gets his fastball command and throws the secondary pitches, he's going to be OK."

Box Score
SCRANTON, Pa. -- Two costly turnovers and hot shooting from Scranton down the stretch proved to be costly as Susquehanna's men's basketball team lost to the Royals 74-71 in Landmark Conference action.
The Crusaders (11-9, 6-5) jumped out to a 9-3 lead, with senior guard Spenser Spencer (Seattle, Wash. / Lakeside) draining a long-range trey with the shot clock expiring at the 16 minute mark.
Junior J.T. Wilson (Sparta, N.J. / Pope John XIII Regional) knocked down a three-pointer to retain the SU lead 14-8 with 14 minutes remaining.
A layup by Mike Perillo (Holmdel, N.J. / Holmdel) increased the Crusader lead to to 12 (27-15) with 7:11 left in the first half. After a Scranton timeout, the Royals (16-6, 9-2) made two quick buckets to trim the lead to seven.
Freshman Tony Seldon (Bloomfield, Conn. / Northwest Catholic) knocked down a jumper to push the lead to nine (31-22) with 4:48 left.
Scranton cut the SU lead to five, which the Crusaders maintained until halftime , 35-30. Spencer led all scorers with 12 points in the first half. SU shot 66.7 percent fom the field.
The Royals made the contest 35-35 with 17 minutes left. Wilson knocked down a jumper from the foul line to give the Crusaders the lead 37-35 at 16:35.
A three-pointer by Scranton's Travis Farrell gave the Royals the lead 39-37, but Seldon made a layup to tie up the game at 39. Another Farrell trey and layup made the game 44-39 at 12:56.
Wilson drained a three-pointer to reduce the deficit to three (49-46) with less than 11 minutes remaining. He nailed another bomb from downtown to tie the contest at 49 at 8:53.
Spencer joined the long range assault, as he knocked down a three to give SU the lead 52-49 with less than eight minutes left. Two Matt Possanza (Lansdale, Pa. / North Penn) free throws pushed the Crusaders ahead by five with exactly six minutes to go.
Spencer hit another trey to increase the SU lead to eight (61-53) but the Royals answered right back with a three ball of their own to make the contest 61-56 at 4:35.

Republican Mitch McConnell first won election to the Senate nearly 30 years ago, in 1984. This year he faces a Democrat who was born just a few years before McConnell took office, 34-year-old Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes.
Political pundits point out that McConnell has one of the lowest incumbent approval ratings in Congress, and he won his last re-election by only six percentage points. McConnell might also face a Tea Party challenger.
But supporters of McConnell are fighting back with an Auto-Tune spoof of Grimes, and a political alliance with Tea Party favorite Rand Paul, Kentucky's junior senator.
Read more
Roll Call "Grimes, 34, was elected as Kentucky's secretary of state in 2011 with more than 60 percent of the vote in her first bid for public office. Before that, she was an attorney in Lexington. She is an attractive and articulate young woman who comes from a very politically active family."
New York Daily News "The clip lasts 1 minute and 36 seconds, repeating the question, 'What rhymes with Alison Lundergan Grimes?' 'Sticks to party line,' 'left wing mime' and 'not ready for prime time' were the main answers given for words that sound like the Southern Belle's last name."
- Phillip Bailey, political editor for Here & Now Contributors Network member station WFPL in Louisville, Kentucky.
From NPR and WBUR Boston, I'm Jeremy Hobson. It's HERE AND NOW. And we are 482 days away from the midterm elections, but it already feels a little like October 2014 in Kentucky, where Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is facing a challenge from 34-year-old Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes. And already the gloves are off.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: President Obama and Harry Reid are looking for senators who will jam through Obama's agenda - massive spending, Obamacare, the war on coal. Reid is having secret meetings with Alison Grimes because she's Obama's cheerleader in Kentucky, and they're attacking Mitch McConnell because he defends Kentucky, fighting Obama's Medicare...
HOBSON: That is from an outside group called Kentuckians for Strong Leadership, which is supporting Mitch McConnell, obviously. And for more on the race, let's bring in Phillip Bailey, political editor for HERE AND NOW Contributing Network station WFPL in Louisville, Kentucky. And, Phillip, why is this getting so hot so early?
PHILLIP BAILEY, BYLINE: There probably isn't a Republican who was more despised by national Democrats than Mitch McConnell. And because he's the leader of the Republican Caucus in the Senate, he is often the one who is associated with blocking, obstructing or, as this ad says, stopping in a good way President Obama's agenda. So the idea of defeating him is just as lucrative as winning two or three seats for Democrats.
HOBSON: And obviously, Democrats think they might have a chance to beat him. So is Mitch McConnell very unpopular in Kentucky?
BAILEY: Senator McConnell's numbers actually aren't that good for a sitting incumbent. I think it was Public Policy Polling, a Democratically leaning firm, that showed that he was the most unpopular senator in the country, and that's because not only are there Democrats who have opposition to Senator McConnell but a good number of Tea Party advocates and activists here in the state also have many issues with the senator.
HOBSON: And we should mention, of course, Kentucky is the state that is home to Rand Paul, who is one of the Tea Party stars. But Alison Grimes has also been out with out some ads. Let's listen to one of this. It features her grandmothers Elsie and Thelma.
ELSIE AND THELMA: This is our granddaughter, Alison Lundergan Grimes. It's a long name. She's running for secretary of state, and we're writing her TV ads.
ALISON LUNDERGAN GRIMES: Sorry.
THELMA: She thinks businesses should have one website to get all the permits and licenses.
GRIMES: I got that idea from you and grandpa and your clothing store.
THELMA: Her Kentucky First...
HOBSON: So she is just using the family here to try to get elected. So what do we know about her and her campaign?
BAILEY: Well, one thing that we saw when Alison Lundergan Grimes announced her Senate campaign, there was some uneasiness about the rollout. They didn't appear to have a campaign website for a few days for people to donate to her campaign. That ad is actually from her 2011 secretary of state race. So her campaign hasn't had the best beginning in the world.
HOBSON: What do we know about her?
BAILEY: At this point, what we know about Alison Lundergan Grimes is that she's a very well-connected Democrat. Her father, Jerry Lundergan, is a former party chair here in Kentucky, former state rep, has close connections to Bill and Hillary Clinton, and for the most part, she has a pretty clean slate when it comes to issues so it makes it very hard for the McConnell campaign and its avowed Whac-A-Mole strategy to pin her down on these federal issues because she doesn't really have a whole lot to say about - or had a whole lot to say about them in the past.
HOBSON: And before we let go you, Phillip, I have to ask you about an ad that has gone viral. This is from Team Mitch.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Alison Lundergan Grimes. What rhymes with Alison Lundergan Grimes? What...
HOBSON: So what's this all about?
BAILEY: They're bringing Auto-Tune back. One thing that Senator McConnell is great at is these attack ads and mocking his opponents. That's what that ad attempts to do - mocking Alison Lundergan Grimes, who's known to be somewhat exuberant on the campaign stages. So in this way, the McConnell campaign may have actually helped Grimes because that ad continuously repeats her name, and for a candidate who's not really that well-known in Kentucky and outside of Kentucky, this actually might help Ms. Grimes.
HOBSON: Phillip Bailey is political editor for HERE AND NOW Contributing Network station WFPL in Louisville, Kentucky. Phillip, thanks so much.
BAILEY: Thank you.
HOBSON: Catchy, isn't it, Robin?
It is.
We're back in a minute here, HERE AND NOW.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: ...Alison Lundergan Grimes, Alison Lundergan Grimes. Grimes. What rhymes with Alison Lundergan Grimes? Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

YFT Plans New Lobby Effort
The original article can be found at http://www.dallasvoice.com/yft-plans-lobby-effort-3-1068088.html.
Teens tell lawmakers personal stories of bullying, suicide attempts
DAVID TAFFET | Staff Writer
Ten teens from Youth First Texas went to Austin to talk to legislators about anti-bullying legislation on March 7. They joined about 350 LGBT activists and allies from around the state who came for Equality Texas lobby day.
Equality Texas executive director Dennis Coleman talked to the group about coming back to Austin later in the session to testify before committees that will hear testimony about the proposed laws.
As they rehearsed their stories, trying to pare them down to one minute each, the teens realized that they wouldn't be able to speak to every representative and senator personally. But because they believed their personal stories could make a difference in the way lawmakers vote, the teens began brainstorming on how to get their stories out.
They came up with the idea of recording their stories to DVD to send to each senator and representative. The teens planned to start the project as soon as they returned to Dallas.
The group's first stop in the Capitol on Monday was the office of Sen. Florence Shapiro of Plano, who represents the district in which three of the teens live.
YFT member Giancarlo Mossi, one of the three living in Shapiro's district, began telling the group's story to two legislative aides. He said he was regularly called a faggot at Plano Senior High School, and other students threw things at him on the bus.
Reporting it didn't make a difference and the harassment continued through graduation, Mossi said.
Pierce Magnus is still in school. He walks with a cane and said he has always been treated differently. At best, other students give him the coldshoulder, something that's been going on since middle school. At one point, he tried to kill himself.
After his suicide attempt failed, Magnus said, he was put in an institution and is now on medication. He blames the suicide attempt on bullying and harassment by other students and the indifference with which the school staff reacted.
"That's a terrible way to go through high school," Magnus said.
Alice Nightingale said that her high school teachers know how she's treated and don't do anything about it.
"I stood up for myself once and got suspended," she said. "It seems like we try and just do more harm."
Magnus and Nightingale also live in Shapiro's district.
The students were lobbying lawmakers to vote for Asher's Law, Rep. Garnet Coleman's anti-bullying bill that he renamed this week and reintroduced into the Texas House of Representatives. Sen.
Wendy Davis of Fort Worth introduced anti-bullying legislation in the Senate that will be heard in Shapiro's education committee.
Mossi said that passing Asher's Law was crucial.
"I try to let people know they're not alone," he said. "But I'm not in high school anymore."
Magnus said that YFT is a safe space, but "Passing this law will make schools a safe space, too."
Sen. John Carona's office was the group's next stop. Carona represents Richardson, the Park Cities, parts of Garland and most of North Dallas. Other YFT members explained their experiences to Carona's staff.
Elliott Puckett said that when he was attacked in the bathroom at his high school, the principal told him he brought it on himself.
"I've been through so much bullying," said YFT member William Morvant, "I almost became one of those statistics."
He tried killing himself three times, he said.
"I'll be graduating from school soon," Morvant said. "But I don't want others going through this."
Morvant was among those who had also spoken at a Dallas Independent School District meeting before their new anti-bullying policy was adopted.
After their morning lobbying session, the group walked across the Capitol lawn toward First United Methodist Church on Lavaca Street, where Equality Texas provided lunch.
They returned to speak to more legislators in the afternoon and stayed through Tuesday for a second day of lobbying.

Awww! Mario Lopez Gives His Baby Girl, Gia, A Sweet Kiss!
Mario Lopez takes a second to smooch and bond with his cute little girl, Gia, during a break from filming Extra yesterday (October 14).
Does little Gia Francesca Lopez know how lucky she is? She's only 4 weeks old but she's already got her daddy, Mario Lopez, completely wrapped around her little finger. Mario took advantage of a little downtime, while filming Extra! at The Grove in L.A. yesterday (October 14), to spend time with his baby girl. "She's precious. I just want to go and stare at her," says Mario about Gia, who is pretty in pink when out with her daddy. "She's chubby and she looks so cute."
Mario raves about Gia and being on diaper duty!
Mario and Gia's mom, Courtney Mazza, 28, met when they starred in A Chorus Line together on Broadway in 2008. If the 37-year-old gets his way, there's going to be lots of little ones in the Lopez family. "I grew up in a large family. I'm fired up!" he says about becoming a father. "I've waited my whole life to be a dad — this is a true blessing." We hope that Mario and Courtney have lots more adorably dimpled daughters and sons!
Wow! Just four weeks after giving birth, Courtney looks amazing!

Looks like Docking is experiencing an outage? Can't upload WUs or even get to the website.
So it seems. Thanks for the heads up. And with lattice being ... lattice, I had machines run dry. Got em on rosetta now.
Someone from Ars had to sabotage it in order to win the GPU/CPU race
Looks like it's back up and running.
Yup, they are. Power outage got 'em.
If you have WUs stuck at "Uploading" like I did, shut BOINC down completely, wait a minute or so and then restart it then force the update and it should go through then.
You can also go to the 'Transfers' tab and force the WU's to retry a transfer.
Docking it is. I shall be here until I have my million.
Good pick
4th place isn't that far off...
My million will be up tomorrow, but it's looking like I need to hang on a bit longer if we want to stay where we are. SETI.Germany is still ramping up...
OK, how did I get the "Stupid Stick"?
I move to Docking and SETI.Germany stomps our butt and pushes us out of 5th. Now Phoenix Rising is rising up our butt to try to move us out of 6th.
Why did I move to Docking, Nekd??
SETI was inevitable; we can't match their output without a lot more people. Phoenix I can help you with right after this SIMAP run is over in a few days.
Docking is critical to holding our position in Bio/Med. I have been full in on it for the month. It is important that we either build enough lead that we can stay in the top ten when the flying squadron flies away, or Bio/Med will be at risk. Holding 5th was never an option. Staying in the top ten is important.
And a bump.
hate to see these perpetual threads slip away.....
We are holding at 8th here. We have an overtake on Zirconia of only 13 days. Our nearest bogey is 122 days away. This project is in "The Vault" and the Bio/Med category where we are in a tight competition.
My personal intermediate plan is to run this from 100K to 250 over the next month.
Crunch On!
Agent GleanerC /out
I've come to help... seems they've adjusted the scoring since I've last been on this project.
OH my god! They did. My little grove has been on this project full time all year. 20 cores were pulling down 6500 cobbles a day ... until the beginning of august. I came back from simap to see 16k/day. Thats almost a 3x increase!
See http://docking.cis.udel.edu/about/project/credit.php
Docking switched to server based credits less than a week ago. There was a vote: around 50 votes for fixed credits, 0 for the benchmark based system
Are you guys seeing any "Daily Quota"'s being reached? I just put 3 more machines on Docking, 2 of which said they could only get 2 or 4 WU's. The 3rd one grabbed 20 tasks or so.
On the one machine that just won't work, as it only connects to the internet every few days.
I haven't seen any. Are you getting any errors? The daily quota sometimes mean you are generating nothing but errors. Your hosts are hidden so I can't tell.
As my SZTAKI cache runs out over the next few days, I'll start transitioning my 32 bit machines here.
No, these were new clients. Seems after they ran through a couple WU's, all is good now. Wonder if it had more to do with boinc saying I wouldn't finish in time...
64 bit machines now coming onboard; Lattice is nearly out of work.
I'll be moving everything to Docking once it cools down.
Whiz, since I can't get work for Sztaki with my 64 bit machines, could you stay there with as much as you can?
Once you start ramping, I'll move all my 32 bit boxes back to SZTAKI. What kind of timetable are you looking at?
Already started. Just waiting for the last Aqua units to finish. Should be 100% in a few hours.
Then I'll start not accepting any new WUs, and I'll be mostly off in the next 12 hours.
The fluidity, is a thing of beauty.
The teamwork, a sight to behold.
You guys are making really good progress on projects we might of thought were tapped out not long ago.
Sorry, Whiz. It's taking longer than I thought to clear these durned Aqua units. It seems like they are multiplying every time I check the machines.
They are trying to keep you 1st in Aqua (team wise) .
We're not looking too shabby either way. I apparently have a few stubborn ones as well, as I have 12K for today.
Sorry, Rarian, looks like today will be your last in team Second Place.
Back to full speed. Durn those hot days.
I'm a day or two away from hitting my 100k mark in uFluids (so so painfully long) so maybe I'll hit this again
Foregone conclusion as soon as anyone with any firepower showed up, especially after the credit change. Ah well, once upon a time I was in first, a feat I won't duplicate for a long time (if ever again.)
At least I can feel happy with keeping us in decent standing while you guys were off doing bigger and better things
You've done an amazing job for a long time keeping us competitive in Docking and drumming up support when needed. Great dedication a project that wasn't always in the limelight. I've also lost a lot of #1 and #2 spots over the last year or two, and I couldn't be happier about it
And 3rds and 4ths and 5ths.
Losing the 5th hurts the most. Now where'd I put that bottle...
You guys are great
Looks like we'll take 6th and 5th place in a couple days, with 4th not too far out.
Stinkin' wino's!
No wine is sold in fifths, only good boubon, or whiskey, or tequila, or...
There is something to be said for having all the cobbles you slaved for over the past few months reduced to 1/3 their original value. Then again, as long as your production remains constant, your credits will go up as well.
I was wondering if I would finish my million cobbles this year with the cheap ass credits they were paying. Now, I might make it by the end of the month..
We just took 5th place.
How much of a buffer will we need?

Or if you've got a high water pressure system, you'll be able to opt for some innovative features to get your kitchen working harder for you.

Proactive Year-End Financial and Tax Planning Series: Year-End Financial and Tax Planning Strategies to Address ATRA and the Net Investment Income Tax
Originally aired 10/25/13
Seminar recording | Presentation materials
Pulling back from the "fiscal cliff" at the 13th hour, the President signed the American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA) into law on January 2nd. ATRA and Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT) have added more complexity to planning given that you now have to navigate through five layers (regular tax, alternative minimum tax, NIIT, re-introduction of phase-out in itemized deductions and the increased 39.6% bracket which also throws in higher capital gains rates) in conjunction with running multi-year scenarios to gain a clear picture of the tax landscape. Also, the estate planning dynamic is now changed with the permanence of the $5 million gift, GST and estate exemption and portability.
The integration of tax planning with your client's investment, retirement and estate planning strategy is critical to achieving long term favorable outcomes. CPA financial planners now have an unprecedented opportunity to demonstrate their value to clients by providing guidance, planning, and tax expertise in 2013. A panel of experts will lead CPA financial planning practitioners through a discussion of strategies that they are implementing with their clients. In this webcast, you will learn:
- An overview of the decisions made by Congress
- The impact of these changes to your clients and their estates, taxes, and financial plans
- Actionable strategies to use with your individual clients before December 31

In my line of work you hear about new bands every day. Maybe there's a cool new electronic duo coming out of Silverlake in L.A., or a lo-fi trio reinventing Motown from an illegal loft in Bushwick or an amazing heir to the Amy Winehouse throne emerging from a seaside town in England. All day, every day, the buzz is sounding. Recently, The Guardian featured a compellingly gloomy Mancunian quartet called PINS as its New Band of the Day; a publicist I trust insisted I go hear this London-based group called Savages; several good rock friends were independently obsessed with a Glaswegian synth-pop trio called Chvrches. It was only when I spent an hour in front of the TV one night watching Rectify and casually Googling these new artists that I realized: Wait, all three of these groups are led by women.
For as long as rock 'n' roll has been around, women have been in the mix, as songwriters, performers and muses. But even in the '90s, which saw the rise of Riot Grrrl culture and the mainstream prominence of powerhouse female rockers like Courtney Love and Gwen Stefani and PJ Harvey, the first thing generally mentioned about any band fronted by or entirely comprising women was that it was fronted by or entirely comprised women. Not so much this time. In fact, little effort is being made to paint these groups — who are all from the U.K. and formed within the past year and a half — as part of a cohesive scene, which is good since they're all from different cities and sound nothing alike.
My favorite photo of PINS, which released its LuvU4Lyf EP in the fall, shows the band members striding through a quaint small town street decked out in full-on CBGB-era rocker thrifted threads and holding hands. They look like a gang of secretly sentimental thugs — and that's exactly how they sound, too, like a motorcycle gang whose members spend their days defending their gritty turf then going home and dancing in their underwear to The Beach Boys. That's a party you could invite Chvrches to. The Glasgow-based group is fronted by the elfin Lauren Mayberry, a former law and journalism student, who connected with her synth-playing band mates, Iain Cook and Martin Doherty, via the city's intimate music scene. Their online breakthrough came when the blog for Neon Gold — a label known for earmarking some of the best dance rock bands of the recent era, including Gotye, Ellie Goulding and Passion Pit — posted the shimmering, confident "Lies." The Recover EP capitalized on that momentum and now we're awaiting the band's debut full-length.
It's a testament to the potency of Savages that they stand out so starkly when compared with these other promising bands. To borrow a kind of sleazy term used by scouts in the music industry, Savages are very "fully formed," which is to say they have a clearly defined look (tailored androgyny), sound (ferocious post-punk) and philosophy about the world (it's damaged and in need of a violent rescuing). The combined effect is that they feel inevitable. When you first hear a new band there's a sense of you, the listener, trying them on. Do I like this? From Note 1, Savages seem to have answered this question on the listener's behalf. Their debut, Silence Yourself, is out May 7 on Matador Records.
The collective rise of PINS, Chvrches and Savages does not indicate a sudden lack of sexism in rock 'n' roll. And I'm not suggesting that the gender demographics aren't interesting. That image of PINS is powerful in part because it features four rocker women in a version of a pose typically struck by four rocker men. When I saw Savages perform at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, the entire band was wearing all black except for the blue scrunchie in drummer Fay Milton's hair and the bright red Dorothy pumps on singer Jehnny Beth's feet. All my guy friends have goofy crushes on Chvrches' Mayberry. The fact that these artists are women, in other words, is not beside the point, it's just not the only point being made. And that's a good sign.
If you're just joining us, this is WEEKENDS on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Kelly McEvers. And it's time now for music.
SAVAGES: (Singing) Oh, I woke up and I saw the face of a guy. I don't know who he was, he had no eyes.
MCEVERS: We first heard about this band during the South by Southwest music festival back in March. Their first record is coming out on Tuesday. They're called Savages. They're from England. All four members are women. They're part of a wave of all-female British groups that are kind of a big deal right now. But as much as you might want to call this some kind of girl group revolution, maybe that's not what it is. Music writer Lizzy Goodman joins us from our New York studios. Hey, Lizzy.
LIZZY GOODMAN: Hey there.
MCEVERS: So obviously, we're talking about these bands because they're either all women or they're led by women. But you say that's not necessarily why they're interesting.
GOODMAN: Yeah. I feel like in rock and roll, you know, a standard thing to hear is: Hey, there's this awesome new all-girl band from Brooklyn, or: Oh, my God, there's this amazing band coming out of Detroit right now. They have this super foxy chick front woman, you know? And that's not what we're hearing here.
The distinguishing factor is that you're talking about a bunch of different groups coming all from kind of the same general part of the world but who really have nothing in common with each other aside from the fact that there are women in all of these bands and yet that is not the first thing that we're hearing when we talk about them. And I think that sort of lack of story is a sign of a big story, if you will.
MCEVERS: Tell us about this band, Savages.
GOODMAN: Well, their name is very subtle. That's the first thing you notice about them. It's apt. They're one of the best-named bands I've seen in a while. They really are savage. They formed in London, and they all kind of have a sort of post-punk androgyny to their look that really matches their sound. You can really hear the kind of Siouxsie and the Banshees, Joy Division, Wire influence - these bands from the U.K. in the late '70s who had a ferocity that I think Savages is really picking up on.
MCEVERS: Wow. I'm totally in college. That is definitely Siouxsie and the Banshees. I'm like at a really bad party with watery beer.
GOODMAN: Sounds fantastic.
MCEVERS: So that's from Savages' live EP. That one's called "I Am Here." So, Lizzy, I know the British newspaper The Guardian had a good description of this next band. They're the most Brooklyn band ever to come from Manchester. Tell us about PINS.
GOODMAN: Yeah. I love that line. I think what they're referencing there is among the bands that have been coming out of Brooklyn lately are a kind of lo-fi, poppy, maybe '60s girl group influenced but as if they're all on heroin or something, like - kind of like a muted version of that sound.
And PINS really has that. They have a kind of mellow soulfulness to them, but it's also very dark. And that's the Manchester element, a kind of drony pop sound that is also very distinctive. You hear it in my favorite, so far, of theirs called "Eleventh Hour."
MCEVERS: It is so tempting to have this, like, they're-the-girl-version-of-X reaction. Like, oh, girl Joy Division. I mean, that's what I want to say when I hear this.
GOODMAN: Yeah. I have actually written that. And so you do find yourself going: Oh dear. Am I doing that cliched rock journalist thing of kind of wrapping it all up in a neat bow? But, I mean, I don't really have a problem with that. I think what's distinctive about what we're seeing with these groups is that we're treating them like we treat the boys, you know? That's what you do with boy bands. Oh, they sound sort of like this other thing I used to like.
But, you know, in the case of Savages or PINS, a Joy Division comparison is really apt with Savages. And, guess what, Joy Division was fronted by a dude. So, you know, it really does feel like what's distinctive about these bands that we're talking about is how they are united by their lack of sonic similarity, by their lack of even geographical similarity.
They're all from different places, and they all look very different, and they have different aesthetics. And that's what makes them interesting together.
MCEVERS: Again, that's the band PINS with a track called "Eleventh Hour." I'm speaking with music writer Lizzy Goodman about the wave of female-fronted bands coming out of the U.K. these days. Lizzy, so I guess what you're saying is they don't all sound punk.
GOODMAN: They don't. You know, the next band we're going to hear, Chvrches, who are from Glasgow, they have this kind of very sunny, jangly, electro-pop, synth-pop vibe. And it's very different from the moodiness that you're hearing with these other bands but also fronted by a woman, Lauren Mayberry, and two, kind of, techno musicians on her side. But there's this solid kind of steeliness that she has that I do think is related to the punk ethos. But the music is distinctly light.
CHVRCHES: (Singing) I'll give you one more chance to say we can change our old ways. You can take what you need and you know you don't need me.
GOODMAN: And when we say Chvrches, keep in mind that the spelling of the band's name is a little weird. It's C-H-V-R-C-H-E-S, and that's for exactly, you know, Google search engine result reasons. They don't want you to Google them and find cathedrals in the south of France. They want you to actually find their band.
MCEVERS: And, as we know for a long time, girls can do pop music. That's for sure.
GOODMAN: Yeah. That's no secret. We're not breaking any big news there. And, you know, we've known for a while that girls can do rock music too. What's different is almost really the response to women making these varied types of music. It's not so much that women haven't done it before. It's how we as a culture are reacting to it.
It's like, oh, there's a bunch of new cool bands coming out of the U.K. And you hear something on the radio or you hear something on a blog, and then you - it takes a Google to realize that, hey, wait a minute, this is an all-girl band. That's not the number one thing getting mentioned about these groups right now. And that's what distinguishes them.
CHVRCHES: (Singing) ...what you need and you don't need me. I'll give you one more chance...
MCEVERS: That was Chvrches with the track "Recover," and we've been talking with writer Lizzy Goodman. She's a columnist at MTV Hive and a regular contributor to Elle magazine and The New York Times magazine. Lizzy, thank you so much.
GOODMAN: Thank you.
CHVRCHES: (Singing) I'll come clean. Everywhere everyone knows it's me. And if I recover, will you be my cover, or it will be over, or we can just leave it here. So pick any number, choose any color, I've got the answer...
MCEVERS: And for Saturday, that's WEEKENDS on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Kelly McEvers. Check out our weekly podcast.

UPDATE: Fire damages home in Borger
UPDATE: Emergency crews responded to a grass and structure fire at the 300 block of Grand Street in Borger on Thursday just before noon.
The fire started at 310 Grand and spread quickly to the CareNet facility next door.
Homeowner Chad Barringer said he was cutting a piece of metal pipe with a hand held grinder when sparks must have caught the fence, grass, or debris near the fence on fire. "I've done it a hundred times, more than that, probably. Two hundred and fifty times maybe, I've cut metal right there. It's just dry, I guess."
"By the time I turned around," Barringer continued, "it was more than I could handle."
Borger Fire Department Chief Bob Watson said that no injuries had occurred, but when asked if the home could be repaired he replied: "Probably not."
CareNet, a Christian organization that, according to Executive Director Susan Topper, "Ministers to women and men in crisis pregnancies," suffered no damage outside of some fencing and scorched grass.
"I am praising the lord and thanking him greatly for not having the building burned," said Topper.
To make sure that the fire is completely extinguished, Watson said that it was necessary for fire fighters to uncover clean, unburned wood in all parts of the trailer that were exposed to the fire. He pointed out one emergency worker who was ripping tin from the side of the building and said, "See where it's burned all the way back on the edge? We have to take [the siding] back all the way until we get to clean wood, to make sure there's not [some fire or embers] stuck back up in there."
Barringer said he does not have homeowner's insurance. He asked authorities if he could live temporarily in a shed on the property which is linked separately to the power grid, but later said "I can't live anywhere on the property until it's up to code. I can't live in the shed or nothing until it's all up to code."
UPDATE: Steven Pair, Executive Director of the Texas Panhandle Chapter of the Red Cross has notified the News-Herald that Red Cross volunteers are on the scene of today's house fire. Pair says "At this time, we believe the home to be a complete loss," but adds that "volunteers have ensured the resident has a safe place to stay the next couple of days, along with the means to purchase food and some new clothing."
The Panhandle Red Cross is currently holding their 'Heroes Campaign', and people can help the Red Cross and help those in need by following this link: http://www.crowdrise.com/TexasPanhandleHeroes

Head-and-Shoulders Patterns: FDX Case Study
The key point in yesterday's discussion of the GLD and AAPL head-and-shoulders patterns can be summed up in the post's last paragraph:
"……. no matter how good these chart patterns may look a year from now, unless and until they cross their necklines, there's no certainty today that they won't fail to deliver. While getting in early will produce a greater return, the trade entails significant risk that the stock actually winds up moving in the opposite direction."
The point perhaps not made emphatically enough is that even though head-and-shoulders stock chart patterns appears on the surface to be similar to the results of a series of random coin tosses there is a major difference between the two should the price/value cross the neckline. The result of coin tosses merrily continues on a random path, the path in the prices/values in stocks, indexes and commodities subsequent to a cross of the neckline usually becomes impacted by a feedback loop know as "momentum".
When they see new highs or lows being set as the price/value crosses the neckline, investors expect, even anticipate, a continuation of the prevailing trend. That predisposition causes them to place trades (either buy if a cross above or sell if a cross below the neckline) in anticipation of being able to close those positions some time in the future at a profit. Coin tosses have no connection with the future but investors do.
The trading rule, therefore, is that investors should wait to commit to their prospective position until momentum is launched and the signal in the form of a neckline cross is evident. [This presumes that a neckline is something obvious and concrete but that's the topic for the next post.]
Let's look at another example of that trading rule. One advisory service recently substantiated their large position in FDX (Federal Express) by arguing that FDX was restructuring their operations so that their Express division is "refined" and their Ground operation "will lead to better margins and more market-share take against UPS." Somebody has to perform good fundamental analysis but it's not clear whether individual investors are equipped or has the time to uncover and evaluate such information. Large institutional investors (what I call "the heard") do and what we can do is to follow their footprints in their hunt for big game.
If only a small percentage of the herd know or arrive at the same conclusion as the above the FDX analysis then price action in FDX shares will not be impacted dramatically. If the analysis is correct and is reflected in operating results, the rest of the herd will join the chase and price momentum will begin. If its efforts, the FDX shares will languish at best and fall at worst. I would want to buy the shares only after, and not before, sufficient numbers of investors begin to believe in the FDX transformation and the shares begin to rise.
FDX stock has been restrained from continuing its uptrend by a resistance trendline ("neckline") for over 5 years. It isn't relevant to the trading strategy whether you envision an emerging inverted head-and-shoulder pattern (square 1) or the longer-term ascending triangle (square 2). To believe the story, you have to "show me the money". You need to see the shares cross above the resistance trendline (the "neckline") to have confidence that the uptrend momentum is sufficiently sustainable before foregoing other opportunities and putting your good money into FDX stock. As my slogan says, "fundamental analysis is subjective, momentum is a fact."

The only people who should have assault weapons should be the military. I feel that if legitimate people want to buy ammunition at a gun store or a department store, they should have to be finger printed and a undergo a back round check. After they pass, the government should give them an ID card. This way we could keep the ammunition out of the wrong hands. I am sure some people wont care for this law, but it just may save some lives.

By Daniel Wallis and Brian Ellsworth
CARACAS (Reuters) - He uses Hugo Chavez's bombastic language, brandishes the constitution and showers opponents with vitriol at every turn.
But Venezuelan Vice President Nicolas Maduro is struggling to replicate the extraordinary charisma of his boss, who is battling to recover from cancer surgery in Cuba.
Named as heir apparent by Chavez just before the president returned to Havana for his fourth surgery in December, the 50-year-old former bus driver has become the face of the socialist government in South America's top oil exporter.
Though diplomats say he is easy-going in conversations behind closed doors, in public he can be just as caustic and combative as Chavez, the former soldier who has led Venezuela for the past 14 years.
Having made few notable decisions so far during his three-week tenure as stand-in president, Maduro has not offered many clues as to how he would lead if he were at the helm of a post-Chavez Venezuela.
"Every day, Hugo Chavez makes us better patriots and better Venezuelans. He has created a generation of revolutionaries and blazed a trail for us," Maduro told one rally last week, lionizing Chavez in gushing and quasi-messianic terms.
"We swear on the constitution that we will be loyal to his leadership ... that we will confront all U.S. imperialist aggression, and dismantle the lies of the bourgeois traitors."
Chavez, 58, has not been seen in public nor heard from since early December, adding to speculation that his polarizing rule could be coming to an end. Late on Sunday, Maduro said the president was suffering a third set of complications after surgery, and remained in a "delicate" state.
If Chavez died or had to step down, new elections would be held within 30 days. Maduro, who also served as foreign minister for the last six years, would be the candidate of the ruling Socialist Party, or PSUV.
Sometimes dressing casually like Chavez in a track suit to address supporters, he has taken on the president's hectoring style too, slamming opposition leaders as "miserable traitors."
His day-to-day-activities have been dominated by swearing-in ceremonies for governors elected in a regional vote in which the PSUV won 20 of 23 state governorships.
In one particularly vituperative attack, he excoriated opposition candidate Henrique Capriles for having the nerve to campaign in Chavez's hometown of Sabaneta during his failed presidential bid earlier this year.
"He dared profane the sacred revolutionary earth of Sabaneta," Maduro said at the inauguration of Chavez's older brother Adan as governor of their home state, Barinas.
"He came here to offend the people. He had the gall to say he would win even in Sabaneta, the bourgeois rich kid," Maduro said, spitting out the final phrase like a playground insult.
Several times he has sounded choked up with emotion, and he cried as he told one crowd the president could count on them forever. "Beyond this life we will be loyal to Hugo Chavez!"
He has peppered his speeches with references to a state-backed campaign called "I am Chavez." During the inauguration of one public transport project he strayed into an awkward metaphor by saying: "Chavez is the cable car."
But his daily appearances on state television have lacked the relaxed, man-of-the-people charisma of his boss, who was always ready to hug a child or crack a joke with workers during his many tours of building sites, hospitals and oil refineries.
The opposition has called him a "poor copy" of Chavez.
Maduro has made no major decisions despite a consensus among business leaders and economists that Venezuela desperately needs a currency devaluation to shore up a yawning fiscal deficit and ease import bottlenecks caused by a shortage of hard currency.
He has made no apparent use of ample powers granted by Chavez this month that include authorizing debt issues and approving congressional budget allocations to ministries.
At best, he has offered vague hints of policy changes, including a veiled suggestion to limit costly subsidies for public services such as electricity and a one-sentence comment that Venezuela's exchange control system could be "improved."
When the nation's main business chamber, Fedecamaras, applauded that statement, within a day Maduro responded: "We're not going to give dollars to Fedecamaras. What this revolution is going to give them is headaches."
His speeches suggest any Maduro candidacy would be driven by the huge emotional outpouring from supporters if Chavez were to leave office or die, whipped up with pledges to follow the president's "revolutionary" course.
Political leaders who have worked with him say his experience as a union leader and diplomat could help him build ties at home and abroad. Any policy difference between Maduro and Chavez, however, would likely only become clear well after he became president.
Sensing another chance to win power just months after being beaten by Chavez at October's presidential vote, the opposition is keen to exploit any signs of a rift within "Chavismo."
Many opposition supporters suspect there are hidden tensions between Maduro and Diosdado Cabello, another powerful Chavez ally from the PSUV's military wing who has a key role as leader of the National Assembly.
There have been few indications of a split.
But Maduro and Cabello were at pains to stress their unity during last week's meetings to inaugurate new PSUV state governors - most of which began with the audience standing for a recording of Chavez singing the national anthem.
Cabello quipped that wealthy opposition leaders had been taking time out from Christmas holidays abroad to pray that he and Maduro would start fighting each other.
"They keep thinking I'll ignore the comandante's order," he scoffed. "He was very clear ... He chose comrade Nicolas Maduro, knowing that under him the revolution will not be lost."
Cabello and other senior PSUV officials, including Maduro's wife, Attorney-General Cilia Flores, have suggested Chavez's January 10 inauguration for his new six-year term could be postponed.
That would outrage the opposition and drive emotions on all sides even higher, but that date could prove to be a diversion.
Without any clarity on Chavez's condition, and the growing possibility that after four operations in 18 months he may no longer be fit to govern, many Venezuelans are expecting change and few are confident enough to make predictions.
"There are simply too many moving pieces," wrote Charles Shapiro, a former U.S. ambassador to Venezuela who now heads the San Diego-based Institute of the Americas think tank. "My bet is that a deeply polarized and de-institutionalized Venezuela will be both turbulent and unstable for the foreseeable future."

Networking works well in the business world, so the Rev. Bob Heisner, director of Project Future in Wheatfield, wants to give it a try in another area - the future of the community.
"This is a call to all those who have concerns for our youth and the community and all the problems we are facing," Heisner said. "I've always been taught don't complain about it, do something about it."
The Project Future Center will hold a "We Can Make A Difference Rally" at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 25, at the Wheatfield Community Center, 1790 Church Road, next to Town Hall.
The "We Can Make A Difference Rally" is an opportunity for individuals and organizations who are making a difference in their own programs to network with each other and with individuals and civic groups, such as Kiwanis and Rotary, that are looking for projects to assist, Heisner said.
The free event will start with a prayer for guidance, wisdom and strength. "I don't think you can go anywhere without faith values," Heisner said.
The Project Future youth martial arts demo team will perform. Representatives of organizations attending will be invited to talk about what their group does as well as display literature about their group. A question-and-answer period will follow.
Pastor Bruce Gamache plans to attend to represent St. Peter's Lutheran Church of Wheatfield.
"Too many times we're content to sit in the pews and gripe about what's going on in the world," said Jonathan Haseley, associate in ministry at St. Peter's, where he works with youth and young adults. "This rally is giving us an opportunity to participate, be active and address the issues our community is dealing with, especially our young."
Capt. Elizabeth Springer, operations officer for Niagara Youth Marine Cadets, also is enthusiastic about the rally and the opportunity it will provide to meet with other group leaders. Marine Cadets has a Marine Corps structure and is very disciplined with a strict code of conduct, she explained, leading to future leaders and good citizens. "We are pretty elite because we make it so tough. The ones that make it through are tough," she said.
Heisner said the rally will be an opportunity to meet the community's unsung heroes who are already giving their time to make a difference in churches and groups such as Marine Cadets and the Club Hope program in Niagara Falls.
"If you are concerned about the numerous problems - drug abuse, violence, crime and bullying - make time to attend this event," Heisner said. "Remember, the choice is yours - you can ignore, not respond or choose to get involved."

For thousands of years, civilizations have flourished using herbal remedies to treat common ailments and even serious disease and injuries, but today Big Government and Big Pharma have formed a well-muscled cartel to ban dozens of herbal medicines. Why? Well, simply put... greed. If Big Pharma can't patent a herb, they lobby Big Government to regulate it.
And yet, they know these natural substances are powerful... so powerful in fact, that almost all prescription drugs today have their origin in plant extracts!
These time-tested herbal medicines are generally safe, all-natural and inexpensive... and in an emergency they may be a lifesaver! In fact...
Traditional medicines have an amazing history in treating many ailments including:
And even more serious, chronic conditions, such as:
And more!
The all new Survival Herb Bank is the perfect antidote for the poisonous, crippling system of the Pelosi, Reid and Obama axis of evil. You can now tap into powerful "off the grid" health care, using all natural, time tested herbal medications. With the new Survival Herb Bank, you can grow and prepare your own survival herbs and take the first preventative step against the socialized medical shortages.
Here's the best part: If you have ever used over-the counter herbs before, you're in for a shocker when you start growing your own medicinal herbs. You see, most (certainly not all) store-bought herbal supplements are garbage. I really mean that. The reason is potency. Grown for bulk and not potency, most store-bought herbs are nasty combinations of pesticides and heavy shots of nitrogen to puff up the poundage for harvest. When you grow your own herbal remedies, potencies can go through the roof. You'll see why we call a backyard herb garden... nature's pharmaceutical factory!
Medicinal Plants They Don't Want You To GrowThe Survival Herb Bank contains 20 powerful herbs, all with proven track records as "off the grid", even underground treatments. Just look at what's included:
These remarkable seeds are authentic herb strains, which are NOT genetically modified in any way. If you ever need to get off the health care grid... you'll only want this special type of herb seed which will produce not only outstanding medicinal quality plants, but will allow you to plant the seeds from the plants you grow unlike sterile hybrids. Many herb seed companies are now selling only "terminator" seeds which have been genetically modified and will not reproduce themselves.
Grown in remote plots all over the globe by independent herbalists, each of the Survival Herb Bank varieties have been hand-picked for germination rate, medicinal potency, and of course, storage life.
Warning: I want to be very clear about something. Having the ability to go "off grid" with medicinal remedies in an emergency doesn't mean you shouldn't see your doctor when you are sick. If you are sick and you can get to a doctor, by all means do the intelligent thing and use the amazing health care expertise and diagnostic tools that are the envy of the world.
Worse yet, the elite are hell bent on creating a health care system that will become just one more tool in the demonic arsenal of total control of the American people.
Step By Step - Off The Grid Herb Garden
It doesn't matter whether you've ever used herbal medicines or alternative treatments before, or whether you don't know anything about gardening. This new "off the grid" herbal growing system will show you step-by-step exactly what to do. You can grow your own back-yard medicines. In fact, for your own health and that of your loved ones, you must take preventative action without delay.
Here's What You Should Do Right Now
I'm desperately trying to warn folks before the new health system strangles the medical resources we have. It's only a matter of time. Here's the thing: The medical crisis could come faster than many people realize. To get ahead of the curve (and the crowd) you should order the Survival Herb Bank right away. And, to give you an added incentive to move quickly before the masses overwhelm the system, we have discounted the price to our customers who use this website to order. We're offering it to you for less than half price! For the general public, the price will be a fat $220.00. But for existing Powerful Living customers, as long as you buy online from this site, I will send you everything for just...
$99.97 Until We Run Out!

Florida Overwhelms Cincinnati In Sugar Bowl, 51-24
Jan. 2, 2010
NEW ORLEANS- Tim Tebow rose above all the distractions caused by coach Urban Meyer's uncertain future and capped a storied college career with his finest performance.
It was the best in BCS history, too.
Tebow threw for a career-high 482 yards and three touchdowns, ran for 51 yards and another score, and fifth-ranked Florida overwhelmed No. 4 Cincinnati 51-24 Friday night in the Sugar Bowl.
"Tim Tebow will go down as one of the great players if not the greatest player in college football," Meyer said.
For Tebow and the Gators (13-1), this certainly was The Big Easy.
Florida's most anticipated season ever ended in New Orleans instead of Pasadena. It came against Cincinnati (12-1) instead of Texas. It was about redemption instead of perfection.
None of that mattered in the Louisiana Superdome.
Tebow wouldn't let it.
"This has been the best four years of life," Tebow said. "We wanted to ended it on a good note."
He completed his first 12 passes, led the Gators to scores on their first five possessions and finished with 533 yards - more than anyone in Bowl Championship Series history. He passed former Texas star Vince Young's record of 467 yards set against Southern California in the 2005 Rose Bowl.
The Bearcats lost their bid for a perfect season and surely will spend the next year listening to questions about whether they belong in the big games against the biggest boys.
Florida, meanwhile, became the first school in the Football Bowl Subdivision to win 13 games in consecutive seasons.
Tebow and his teammates had hoped to repeat as national champions, but a 32-13 loss to Alabama in the Southeastern Conference title game knocked them out of the title picture. The Gators spent the last four weeks regrouping from the disheartening loss.
Things got worse when Meyer announced his resignation last Saturday, three weeks after being rushed to the hospital because of chest pain. Meyer changed his mind the following day, and instead said he would take an indefinite leave of absence.
No one knows how long he will be away or whether he will return at all.
"I plan on being the coach of the Gators," Meyer said.
Meyer didn't look like his fiery self against his alma mater. Then again, Tebow & Co. made this a stress-free game for every Gator.
Cincinnati stacked the line of scrimmage, essentially forcing Tebow to beat them through the air. That worked for the Crimson Tide. It backfired for the Bearcats.
The bulky left-hander had all kinds of time to pass and picked apart Cincinnati's sketchy defense. He nearly had a career game in the first half alone. He completed 20 of 23 passes for 320 yards and three touchdowns, 18 yards shy of his previous career high.
He found Aaron Hernandez for a 7-yard score to cap Florida's first possession, hooked up with Deonte Thompson on a perfectly thrown ball to the corner of the end zone in the second quarter and then dropped a deep ball into roommate Riley Cooper's hands for an 80-yarder. That was longest completion of Tebow's career.
Tebow completed 31 of 35 passes. Cooper had seven catches for 181 yards. Hernandez added nine receptions for 111 yards.
Florida clearly had something to prove after getting thumped in Atlanta, and Cincinnati was on the receiving end. The Bearcats were playing in their second straight BCS game, but this one was even more lopsided than last year's 20-7 loss to Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl. Quarterback Tony Pike got much of the blame for that one after throwing four interceptions.
Former coach Brian Kelly could get charged with this one.
Kelly bailed on the Bearcats in early December, leaving behind a lame-duck staff and plenty of angry players. The players spent a few days spewing over Kelly's decision, then insisted they understood he made a business decision. The coaches, meanwhile, spent the last three weeks searching for jobs and trying to keep the team focused despite a huge distraction.
Without Kelly, who called plays all season, the offense suffered.
Pike completed 27 of 45 passes for 170 yards and three scores, all in the second half when the ouctome was no longer in doubt.
Florida's Carlos Dunlap, who returned after a one-game suspension that followed a drunk-driving arrest, had two of the Gators' three sacks.
Florida, however, scored at will. Emmanuel Moody, Tebow and Chris Rainey ran for touchdowns in the second half to make it a blowout.
Tebow stayed in the game until there was only about 3 minutes remaining. When he finally came off the field for good, he raised his arms into the air, hugged backup quarterback John Brantley and then embraced Meyer near the sideline. The Florida faithful - outnumbered in and around the Superdome - chanted his name.
Florida finished with a Sugar Bowl-record 659 yards and the last celebration for the most successful senior class in school history came on the Sugar Bowl logo.

Hi all, I'm writing a small program, to draw voxel space. I can't find anywhere algorithm to fill 3d areas, which will be useful to create my function. I want it to draw quad from voxels, by giving it 4 points as parameters. My first idea was to use 3d version of Bresenham Algorithm in recurrent way to work like this :
go to 1'st point, draw voxel line to 2'nd point
then draw 1'st voxel between points 2-3
draw voxel line between 1'st point and 1'st voxel of 2-3 line,
draw 2'nd voxel between points 2-3
draw voxel line between 1'st point and 2'nd voxel of 2-3 line, etc,
but I assume there is faster way, and my access to internet is very limited, so I can't search a lot, thx for any help

Why is it hard to imagine a Jesuit could be pope? Well, it's reality. So what does it mean? America magazine editor at large (and occasional SCM contributor) James Martin, S.J., answers that in a piece that first appeared on CNN's Belief Blog on March 14, 2013.
Pope Francis is the first Jesuit pope in history. When I heard his name announced, after shouting aloud, my first thought was how improbable it all was. But why? Why was a Jesuit pope so hard for people (including me) to imagine? And what would St. Ignatius Loyola, the 16th-century founder of the Jesuit Order (more formally known as the Society of Jesus), have thought?
Let's take that first question first. Why was it so improbable? For two reasons.
First, most cardinals come from the ranks of the diocesan clergy. That is, most study in diocesan seminaries and are trained to work in the more familiar Catholic settings of parishes—celebrating Masses, baptizing children, presiding at marriages, and working closely with families in their parish. Their lives are perhaps more easily understood by the public at large. They begin as parish priests, and later are appointed bishops and archbishops and, later, are named cardinals by the pope.
Members of religious orders, like the Franciscans, Dominicans, and Jesuits, live a different life. We take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience and live in communities with one another. (By contrast, parish priests receive salaries.) We are also not as focused on parish life. In this country, for example, the Jesuits are known mainly for their educational institutions: middle schools, high schools, and colleges and universities like Santa Clara, Boston College, Georgetown, Fordham, and all the schools named "Loyola." So our lives are different from those of the diocesan clergy; not better or worse, just different. So members of religious orders may seem more "unfamiliar" to cardinals. Thus, not many popes in recent history have been from religious orders. When choosing a leader, then, the cardinals naturally prefer someone from their "world."
"I think St. Ignatius would be smiling at one of his Sons not only serving the Roman Pontiff, but being one."
But not this time. Perhaps they felt it was time for a change. A big one.
Also, the Jesuits were sometimes viewed with suspicion in a few quarters of the Vatican. There are a number of reasons for that, some of them complex. The first is, as I mentioned, our "differentness." Second, our work with the poor and people on the margins sometimes struck some as too experimental, radical, and even dangerous. "When you work on the margins," an old Jesuit said, "you sometimes step out of bounds."
In the early 1980s, because of tensions between the Jesuits and the Vatican, Pope John Paul II "intervened" in our internal governance. After a stroke felled our superior general, the pope appointed his own representative as our leader (rather than allowing the normal procedure, which was for us to elect a successor). That was his right as pope, but it still discouraged many Jesuits. A few years later, we elected a new superior general and the warm relations were restored. Still, the cloud persisted in some quarters of the Vatican, which meant that a Jesuit pope was too far-fetched to even imagine.
With a Jesuit pope, that cloud has been if not removed then lifted much higher.
What does it mean to have a Jesuit pope? Several things.
First, the new vicar of Christ is thoroughly steeped in the spirituality of St. Ignatius Loyola, who founded the Jesuits in 1540. Pope Francis has twice in his life, as all "fully formed" Jesuits do, participated in the Spiritual Exercises, the monthlong silent retreat that focuses on the life of Jesus Christ. The Exercises call on you to use your imagination to enter into the life of Jesus in prayer. So Pope Francis, we can assume, is an intensely spiritual man who has plumbed the depths of the life of Christ in a particularly Jesuit way. Since his election, I have heard at least a dozen Jesuits say, "Well, I don't know much about him, but I know he made the Exercises."
Second, Jesuit training is extremely long. Pope Francis entered the Jesuit novitiate in 1958, at the age of 22, and was not ordained until 1969. (That's about the average length of time of training for a Jesuit priest. I entered in 1988 and was ordained in 1999.) So the new pope is an educated man who also has experience in a variety of ministries, which he would have been assigned to during his long training. Typically, a Jesuit in training is asked to do work with the poor, tend to patients in hospitals, teach in schools, and all the while perform what St. Ignatius called "low and humble tasks," like scrubbing out toilets and mopping floors.
Third, the new supreme pontiff knows poverty. Jesuits are supposed to take our vows of poverty seriously. This means in the novitiate living on a pittance, working with the poor, and having nothing to call your own. The already-famous stories of Cardinal Bergoglio using public transportation and cooking for himself may find their foundations in St. Ignatius Loyola, who said we should love poverty "as a mother." We Jesuits are asked to follow "Christ poor"—that is, to emulate Christ in his poverty on earth—and live as simply as possible. Some of us do that better than others, and once he was appointed bishop and archbishop, he was released from his vow of poverty, but it is an essential goal in the life of a Jesuit, and most likely deeply embedded in his spiritual life.
Pope Francis' name has been remarked on, and I was overjoyed that he chose to honor St. Francis of Assisi, perhaps the world's most beloved saint. It signals a great desire to help the poor. But I couldn't help wondering if as devoted as he was to Francis, his first experiences of ministering to the poor came when he was, as Jesuits say, a "Son of Ignatius."
Fourth, Jesuits are asked to be, in St. Ignatius' Spanish tongue, disponible: available, open, free, ready to go anywhere. The Jesuit ideal is to be free enough to go where God wants you to, from the favela in Latin America to the Papal Palace in Vatican City. We are also, likewise, to be "indifferent"; that is, free enough to flourish in either place; to do anything at all that is ad majorem Dei gloriam, for the greater glory of God.
Fifth, we are not supposed to be "climbers." Now here's a terrific irony. When Jesuit priests and brothers complete their training, they make vows of poverty, chastity, obedience, and a special vow to the pope "with regard to missions"; that is, with regard to places the pope wishes to send us. But we also make an unusual promise, alone among religious orders as far as I know, not to "strive or ambition" for high office.
St. Ignatius was appalled by the clerical climbing that he saw around him in the late Renaissance, so he required us to make that unique promise against "climbing." Sometimes, the pope will ask a Jesuit, as he did with Jorge Bergoglio, to assume the role of bishop or archbishop. But this is not the norm. Now, however, a Jesuit who had once promised not to "strive or ambition" for high office holds the highest office in the church.
On that second question: What would St. Ignatius Loyola have thought?
St. Ignatius famously did not want his men to become bishops and even resisted the Vatican at times to prevent that from happening. On the other hand, he was disponible enough to know that rigid rules needed to be broken. Plus, he was also devoted to doing anything he could for the Church, and to ask his Jesuits to do the same. In one of the founding documents of the Jesuits, Ignatius announces his intention to "serve the Lord alone and the Church, his spouse, under the Roman Pontiff, the Vicar of Christ on earth."
Anything for the "Greater Glory of God," as our motto goes, and for the service of the Church, Ignatius would say. So, frankly, I think St. Ignatius would be smiling at one of his Sons not only serving the Roman Pontiff, but being one.
I sure am.

4790 W. 16th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46222
(800) 822-4639 (317) 492-6700 Mon-Fri, 9a.m.-5p.m. ET
Two drivers named Jacques Villeneuve competed in the Indianapolis 500, both related to legendary Formula 1 racer Gilles Villeneuve. Gilles' brother Jacques made one start in the '500,' qualifying 15th and finishing 20th in 1986. Gilles' son, also named Jacques, was much more successful in his two starts; he started fourth and finished second, claiming Rookie of the Year honors in 1994, and a year later, he won the race. The younger Villeneuve then switched from Indy cars to Formula 1 and went on to win the 1997 F1 World Championship.
Although he won only six F1 races, Gilles Villeneuve is one of the most famous and captivating figures in the history of F1. Much was expected of his son Jacques when he came of age, and sure enough, the younger Villeneuve pursued a racing career at an early age.
His earliest success came driving Formula 3 cars in Italy and Japan, but his exploits did not go unnoticed in his home country of Canada. In fact, Player's Ltd., the Canadian branch of British American Tobacco, formed the Player's Racing Team in 1993 around Villeneuve in an effort to foster Canadian driving talent. The program would eventually groom several successful Canadian Indy car drivers, including Greg Moore, Patrick Carpentier and Alex Tagliani.
Player's contracted Forsythe/Green Racing to campaign cars for Villeneuve and fellow Quebecois Claude Bourbonnais in the 1993 Formula Atlantic championship. The top Player's driver would then advance to the CART-sanctioned IndyCar World Series in 1994. Although Bourbonnais won seven races to Villeneuve's five, both drivers were beaten to the championship by David Empringham. Still, Villeneuve was the man chosen to move up to Indy cars.
Villeneuve's Indy car career got off to a scary start when he was involved in a huge accident at Phoenix International Raceway in only his second start. However, he had settled down considerably by the time he arrived in Indianapolis for the month of May and Jacques calmly qualified the Forsythe/Green Racing entry fourth for his first Indy start.
With a special Indy-only engine produced by Mercedes-Benz, Penske Racing dominated the Indianapolis 500 with drivers Emerson Fittipaldi and ultimate race winner Al Unser Jr. But rookie Villeneuve was clearly the best of the rest, to the satisfaction of team co-owner Barry Green.
"We figure we're first in Class B," Green said. "The Penskes were running to different [engine specification] rules than we are, so we're pretty happy."
For a driver with a reputation as a wild man, Villeneuve's polished performance at Indianapolis was a revelation.
"Indianapolis is the one place where you have to stay concentrated for a long period of time," Villeneuve added. "Not only is it the longest race, it's a whole month from the start of practice to the end of the race. It's easy to lose your focus, or to get mad if things aren't going well.
"We spent the whole month without losing focus. We have a good chemistry on the team and the result was great for us."
Villeneuve went on to score his first Indy car race win at Road America in August 1994.
At the end of the season, Jerry Forsythe and Barry Green decided to split and field individual entries for 1995 and onward. Villeneuve stayed with Team Green, while Forsythe hired 1983 Indy 500 Rookie of the Year Teo Fabi as his driver.
Villeneuve started the 1995 season on a winning note, claiming the CART opener on a downtown Miami street course. He ranked second in the championship standings when he arrived in Indianapolis at the start of the Month of May, and once again, Jacques was a frontrunner all month long.
He overcame a heavy crash the day before Pole Day to land a qualifying berth in the middle of Row 2. Villeneuve then ran a fuel conservation strategy early in the race that put him into the lead on Lap 36 as drivers ahead of him pitted. Just then, however, the yellow flag flew, creating a great deal of confusion, and in that confusion, Villeneuve passed the Pace Car not once, but twice. He was assessed a two lap penalty and dropped to 24th place.
"When we got that penalty, it knocked us on our backs," related Green. "I mean, no one even wanted to talk on the radio. It was just quiet, so I rounded up the troops and said, 'Come on guys, we're not out of it yet!'"
The lead of the 1995 race was passed around like a hot potato. Michael Andretti, Mauricio Gugelmin, Scott Pruett and Jimmy Vasser all led significant portions of the race, but attrition was high. Villeneuve continued to play the fuel mileage card, and when Vasser and Pruett crashed out in separate incidents, Jacques found himself back on the lead lap, in second place behind Scott Goodyear.
Then one of the most controversial moments in Indianapolis 500 history unfolded. Following the cleanup for Pruett's accident, the race was set to resume on Lap 191. Almost unbelievably, leader Goodyear shot past the Chevrolet Corvette Pace Car before the Pace Car entered the pits.
The Pace Car appeared to be going slower than the customary 120 mph when it reached the pit entrance, but it was still the lead driver's responsibility to remain behind it on the track until the green flag waved. In this case, clear evidence existed that Goodyear passed the Pace Car, an offense subject to penalty.
The black flag was displayed to Goodyear on laps 193-195, but he chose to ignore it. USAC stopped scoring Goodyear after 195 laps, leaving Villeneuve to cruise home as the winner of the race over Christian Fittipaldi. Goodyear actually crossed the finish line about 8 seconds before Villeneuve, but he was classified 14th.
"Obviously in hindsight, I should have just hung back there before the restart," Goodyear said. "If I had passed three or four guys before the green light, then I'd understand the need for a stop and go. But in this situation, as the leader, I think the penalty was a bit excessive.
"I guess I've never understood how the Pace Car could affect the outcome of a race," he added. "Weird circumstances, but if I was re-doing it again today, I'd have my foot in it. I wasn't going to take my foot off the gas and have all those guys collect me from behind."
Villeneuve used the momentum of his Indianapolis win to claim the CART series championship in only his second year of racing Indy cars. By then, he had attracted serious interest from Formula 1 teams, and he duly signed for Williams-Renault. Jacques finished second to his teammate Damon Hill in the 1996 F1 championship before claiming the crown after a dominant 1997 season.
Once again, British American Tobacco made a heavy investment in Villeneuve's career, luring him to a start-up BAT F1 team in 1999 with technical support from Indy car chassis constructor Reynard Racing Cars. The BAT team was never very competitive, and Villeneuve's Formula 1 career would end in 2006 after a series of desultory campaigns.
Even though his last Indianapolis 500 start occurred in 1995, Villeneuve competed at Indy on the road course in F1 from 2000-06 with a best finish of fourth place in 2000. He also made one start in the Brickyard 400 (in 2010), making him the only driver who has competed in all three of the major car races at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
But Villeneuve's Indy legacy is cemented in that remarkable, come-from-behind-after-a-penalty victory in the 1995 Indianapolis 500.
"I knew the team was ready to win the race and I knew I was ready," Villeneuve said in his post-race interview. "When we were behind Goodyear, I thought he was going to be the first Canadian to win the race, but it turned out to be us.
"This is the best feeling I've had in motor racing so far," he added. "Indy is the race to win. Winning this race is as big as winning a championship and it's a great feeling."
