What gets run on you when you get drunk at a company outing, mess up at work, or even have something beneficial happen to you. Gossip used to be spread slowly at the water cooler, but emails to half a company is the main mechanism by which this gossip is spread. The occurrence of an event can be spread to everyone you don't want it to to within 5 minutes of the start of the work day with a single email.
By 8 a.m., all of the secretaries at work were running the gossip train on Jim when he got drunk at a company outing on Friday night and felt up the boss's wife and made out with the back of her neck after he puked in their washing machine.

Capitulo 12 "Labyrinth"
Clark (Tom Welling) is attacked and wakes up in a mental asylum where the attending physician, Dr. Hudson (guest star Matthew Walker), tells him he has been there for five years due to his elaborate fantasy that he has alien superpowers. In this new world, Martha (Annette O'Toole) is married to Lionel Luthor (John Glover), Chloe (Allison Mack) is deemed insane and Lana (Kristin Kreuk) chose Clark over Lex (Michael Rosenbaum).
Lana begs Clark to agree to Dr. Hudson's treatments so they can be together, but when a fellow patient named John, A.K.A Martian Manhunter (guest star Phil Morris), tells him the good doctor is actually a phantom and he needs to kill him in order to return to reality, Clark must make the toughest decision of his life.

Nine If By Sea: Navy Shatters Pool Records
Jan. 18, 2010
Courtesy of Vermont
Navy broke nine Forbush Natatorium records on its way to a 219-81 win over Vermont in swimming and diving on Saturday afternoon. Navy improved to 9-0 on the year with the win, as it entered the meet ranked 10th in the latest CollegeSwimming.com Mid-Major Poll.
Senior Molly MacMillan (Doylestown, Pa.) picked up the only Catamount (8-5) win on the afternoon, as she finished first in the 500 freestyle and broke her own pool record with a time of 5:04.46. Vermont took three of the top four spots in the event, as senior Colleen Clark (Unionville, Conn.) finished third and sophomore Katie Heenan (Clarendon Hills, Ill.) placed fourth.
Vermont also earned five-second place finishes on the day. MacMillan placed second in the 1,000 freestyle in a time of 10:20.73, while junior Kate Weaver (South Burlington, Vt.) earned a runner-up finish in the 200 free (1:54.20). Freshmen Nicole Peruso (Branford, Conn.), Melissa Wheeler (Roanoke, Va.) and Kailey Gardner (Ithaca, N.Y.) also came in second in the 200 butterfly (2:12.95), three-meter dive (228.97) and 400 IM (4:36.67).
"Our team learned a lot and raced pretty well against a very good opponent today. We competed and fought hard, and now I think we are ready to take it to the next level," said Vermont head coach Gerry Cournoyer.
Vermont returns to action next Saturday when it hosts Northeastern at 12 p.m. as part of "Senior Day" for six Catamount student-athletes.

Coming Soon!
"We switched to Harmony because a previous agency couldn't keep the same staff coming. A friend who is a professional caregiver had used Harmony and recommended them to us. We loved our Harmony nurse, Stacy. She was a gift from God, and Maria was a piece of Heaven. I don't know what we would have done without them."
– Yvette, Caregiver
"Your service was perfect, dignified. The aides were wonderful, they went above and beyond. You made the process beautiful and I hope I will have the same opportunity when my time comes."
– Joyce G, daughter of Harmony patient
"I put all my faith in Harmony and you never let me down."
– Afton H, wife of Harmony patient
"This was so much better than in the hospital. Your staff came through the worst snowstorm, the worst day of the year. I don't know how they did it, but they made it."
— Lavelle L, wife of Harmony patient
"My therapist is incredible! He always arrives on time and is a big help to me as I learn how to walk again. Thank you Harmony."
– Sally
"The service at Harmony is amazing. We have never experienced such a caring, professional, and competent group of people. They have really helped us."
– Bill
"Harmony was there for us when we did not know where to turn. My wife was getting out of the hospital and I had no idea how I was going to manage her care all by myself. Harmony provided all of the care necessary to get her back on her feet."
– George
"Thank you Harmony. As my mother was approaching the end of her life, I felt like the nurses and chaplains at your company went the extra mile when visiting us. They added an unexpected level of service that made all the difference."
– John
"I love working at Harmony. The most satisfying part of my job as a nurse is going into the home of a patient and improving their quality of life. Our patients are our number one priority."
– Mary

Bauxite City Council to discuss former Treasurer payment
Bauxite City Council will meet tonight, Dec. 16, for a regularly scheduled City Council meeting.
City Council members will discuss the resignation of Sheryl Johnson from her position as Treasurer on Nov. 1 as it applies to her payment. Allison Cain believes that Johnson should not have been paid for the month of Nov. since she resigned on Nov. 1. However Johnson believed that she should have been compensated and deposited the check she was provided. Johnson also wrote a note to the council that she deserved to be paid for the month of June, which she never received payment for. Johnson was appointed to the position of Treasurer on June 17 and is not aware of a City Ordinance or Resolution that states that Bauxite City employees payroll checks are pro-rated and thus expects a payroll check for the month of June. Mayor McMahan said, "I was disappointed that Sheryl resigned under the circumstances, and I was aware she didn't get paid after she was appointed, and it was never mentioned; but after I thought about it I believed the two issues evened out and consider the November check as 'combat pay'. After Sheryl resigned, she told me she wouldn't be the treasurer of Bauxite for $5,000 per month."
Council will also discuss which streets to request to be overlayed by the Arkansas Highway Department. This issue was addressed at last month's meetings but Mayor McMahan says he hasn't approached this idea because, "this group has been changing, modifying, and fine tuning the rules as they went along and in my opinion it's hard to play by the rules and hard to hit a moving target when the rules are changing as they have been. But now, I believe the rules are pretty much settled and we can proceed with a request." The general cost estimate to overlay a street is around $120,000 per mile and the most Bauxite can request is $250,000, allowing Bauxite to request a total of 2 miles to be overlayed. Mayor McMahan encouraged City Council members to be driving around town and taking notes to see which streets need to be recommended for overlay.
City Council will also discuss a Straw Poll that was sent out to each of the 240 Bauxite water customers, asking for their views on a 1/2 cent sales tax to go toward the repair of the sewer grinder pumps and to go toward the maintenance, expenses, and repair of the sewer plant. As of Dec. 13, 38 responses had been received, all anonymous, with 25 favoring the 1/2 cent sales tax. Mayor McMahan said, "In my opinion, the 1/2 cent sales tax, with the removal of the $10 per month charge, will be less money of 99% of our citizens water bills. This should be a no brainer to anyone with a calculator or that can do simple math. The 1/2 cent sales tax would cost the average citizen only around $2.50 to $3.00 per month, thus saving around $7 each month.
Bauxite City Council will also discuss a water leak that occurred on Main Street early Saturday morning, Dec. 14. The break occurred when a service line broke loose from the 6 inch main water line and erupted into a geyser. Mayor McMahan said it took three Bauxite employees working overtime to temporarily fix the leak until Monday. "Many thousands of gallons were lost in the break," said Mayor McMahan. "We have an inordinate number of water lines that break often in different parts of town and we play catch up trying to fix them. Some of these main lines are 60 years old and hearken back to the days before Bauxite incorporated as a town in 1973."
Finally, Council members will discuss a letter sent to Mayor Johnny McMahan by Progressive Business Solutions in Sherwood that provides an estimate of $650 a month for accounting services. Progressive Business Solutions offered to set up a chart of accounts and enter the yearly budget approved by the city council, prepare checks for approval, and mail the checks with check stock and signature stamps secured in a locked area with limited access of authorizes personnel only. They will also maintain a monthly account payable file, balance bank accounts monthly, balance payroll accounts, and prepare budget variance reports for council meetings. This service would provide needed assistance with Bauxite's account payable.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says Congress must give more homeowners the chance to refinance their mortgages to save money.
Obama says more than 2 million people are saving about $3,000 a year after restructuring their loans under his administration but that more deserve the same chance.
In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama also calls on the Senate to confirm "without delay" his choice of Democratic Rep. Mel Watt to lead the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees government-controlled mortgage lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Obama says the North Carolina congressman helped enact rules to protect consumers from dishonest lenders.
In the Republican address, Alabama Rep. Martha Roby discusses legislation passed by the GOP-controlled House to give private-sector workers the right to trade overtime pay for additional time off.

Identifying UK websites and electronic publications
By law, a copy of every UK print publication must be given to the British Library by its publishers, and to five other major libraries that request it. This system is called legal deposit and has been a part of English law since 1662.
From 6 April 2013, legal deposit also covers material published electronically, so that the Legal Deposit Libraries can maintain a national collection of e-journals, e-books, digitally published news, magazines and other types of content.
The Legal Deposit Libraries (Non-Print Works) Regulations 2013 apply to any work published in offline media (on CD-ROM, microform etc.) in the UK, and to any work published online:
"(a) if it is made available to the public from a website with a domain name which relates to the United Kingdom or to a place within the United Kingdom; or
(b) it is made available to the public by a person and any of that person's activities relating to the creation or the publication of the work take place within the United Kingdom."
but excluding works which are only accessible to persons outside the UK.
Part (a), referring to a website with a domain name which relates to the UK or to a place within the UK, is interpreted as including all .uk websites, plus websites in potential future geographic top level domains that relate to the UK such as .scotland, .wales or .london. However it is not construed as covering websites whose domain name mentions a UK place within a generic top level domain or another country's geographic top level domain such as, hypothetically, www.oxford.com or www.london.tv. Works that are made available to the public from such websites, or from other websites whose domain name does not mention a UK place, will only be treated as being published in the UK if part (b) applies.
The Legal Deposit Libraries anticipate two main scenarios, in which part (b) may apply:
i. For works that are behind a login facility and harvested by a deposit library or for works that are delivered to a deposit library by the publisher—i.e. subject to Regulation 16—there will be an engagement process between the publisher and a deposit library. As part of this engagement, deposit libraries would normally expect to discuss and agree with the publisher the scope of works that will be harvested or that should be delivered. In this scenario, the deposit libraries anticipate defining the scope by whether a substantial (i.e. non-trivial) part of creating the work, or the editorial decision to make the work available to the public, took place in the UK.
ii. When a deposit library archives copies of relevant material from the open web, under the combined effect of Regulations 13(3) and 18(3), an automated crawling process will be used. Although the crawler will identify itself to the website server, in the normal course of events there is unlikely to be an opportunity for separate dialogues between the deposit library and each individual publisher. In this scenario, the deposit libraries will use a variety of techniques in an effort to identify websites that are published in the UK, and will implement a notice and takedown policy for any material copied erroneously.

Horoscopes for week of February 27, 2003
Hungry for more inspiration, Aries? Curious about the unfolding mysteries? For more juicy details about your destiny in the coming week, check out your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
Some astrologers theorize that there's an undiscovered planet called Vulcan, whose orbit is inside that of Mercury. Because it's so close to the sun's obliterating blaze, scientists haven't detected it. In ancient Roman mythology, Vulcan was the god of metal-working. From his forge beneath the earth, he made tools for himself and the other gods. His creations were renowned for both their usefulness and beauty. The astrologers who propose the existence of the planet Vulcan say it's the ruler of Taurus. I bring this to your attention because it so happens that you're poised to channel its influence with maximum strength in the coming weeks. Try this meditation: Visualize yourself wielding controlled fire to forge beautiful and useful things for you and your powerful allies.
Your destiny is a gorgeous mystery, Taurus. Your soul is awakening more every day. The secrets of life are ripening right in front of your eyes. For more clues, consider checking out your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
Each year the science magazine, "Annals of Improbable Research," awards "Ig Nobel Prizes" to imaginative eccentrics. A prize in chemistry was once given to researchers who discovered that romantic infatuation is biochemically indistinguishable from obsessive-compulsive disorder; other prizes have gone to the "Stalin World" amusement park, software that can detect a cat walking on a computer keyboard, and a report on "Courtship Behavior of Ostriches Towards Humans Under Farming Conditions." If it were up to me, Gemini, I'd give you an Ig Nobel Prize for what you're about to do, which will fulfill one of the main criteria for winning: pulling off an entertaining feat that first makes people laugh, then makes them think.
Life will bring you entertaining revelations in the coming week, Gemini. To explore even deeper, dive into your
Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
Do you have a lucky number? Many people do. Some decide on theirs by choosing a number that figured prominently in one of their life's turning points. Others arrive at it by adding the digits of their birth date or by taking the numerological value of their name. So-called "master numbers" like 22, 33, and 55 are favorites, too. Personally, I have two special numbers: 23 zillion and 3.1415926, the value of pi. I hope this whets your imagination, Cancerian. Your fortunes are in the process of changing, and it would be a good time to pick a new lucky number. If I were you, I'd also seek out a new power animal, initiation name, and talismanic symbol.
Want more clues, Cancerian? Need further insight? I discuss your coming week in greater depth in your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
The most dangerous frame of mind for you to inhabit in the next six weeks -- the state of awareness that would be most harmful to your long-term interests -- would be utter certainty. You simply cannot afford to be a know-it-all expert who's fixated on a set of seemingly foolproof theories. On the other hand, Leo, if you're willing to question everything you think you know, robust health and emotional wealth will surely be yours. Here's a ritual to set the mood: Put angel food cake and devil's food cake on a plate, then take five bites of each while intoning the affirmation, "I am hungry for the kaleidoscopic, chameleon-like, unimaginable truth."
Where do you want to go in the coming week, Leo? Who do you want to be? For more clues, tune in to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
My Aquarian and Sagittarian friends are the best laughers I know. By that I mean that they laugh longer and more frequently than most. They also tend to chortle at ironies that others take way too seriously. Best of all, their laughs are works of art: sudden, explosive, wild, and uncanny. I mention this, Virgo, because I believe you're entering a phase when you'll have the potential to mutate into an Aquarian- or Sagittarian-style laugher. Please take full advantage of this hilarious opportunity. Explore the untapped depths of your sense of humor. Give your laughter the chance to grow dramatically in its power to heal both you and everyone who is sprayed with the saliva flung out during your paroxysms of primal amusement.
Need a few more whacks applied to your mental blocks in the coming week, Virgo? A few more caresses administered to your growing edge? Cruise on over to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
Last year the Boston Globe ran 901 corrections of previously published information. In other words, it averaged 17.3 acknowledged mistakes per week. The Chicago Tribune's total was 658, or 12.7 errors per week. Even though your blooper rate will be higher than usual in the coming days, it won't come anywhere near theirs. There'll be no excuse for berating yourself or succumbing to massive outbreaks of guilt, then, will there? Even at your most flub-prone, you'll still be more perfect than two of America's most well-respected newspapers. I suggest, though, that to minimize flak from insensitive critics, you borrow the Globe's or Tribune's approach. You can get away with a lot if "I confess" or "I'm sorry" is always on the tip of your tongue.
Got enough clues to chew on for a while, Libra? If you need more, give yourself the luxury of your Expanded Audio Horoscope for the coming week. The reading costs $6.
Arunothai Sriaran is Thailand's new "Miss Drunk." She won the title in a contest after gulping down too much wine and navigating her way through an obstacle course while wearing a heavy silk dress and golden headgear. In the insouciant spirit of this wicked fun, and in accordance with your current astrological omens, I hereby name you "Ms. (or Mr.) Drunk-on-Life." Your carefree and mischievously benevolent reign will last for either three weeks or until you stop learning new tricks about the art of being intelligently wild, whichever comes last.
Want to explore the coming week even further, Scorpio? Dig deeper? Feel stronger? Consider tuning in to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
You're progressing nicely in your efforts to master life's most complicated skills. For instance, you're making better and better mistakes all the time. You're getting pretty good at being three places at once, too; and with every passing month you know more about using your fears to motivate you so they won't paralyze you. What you'd benefit from most right now, though, is a refresher course in the simplest fundamentals. For starters, you still have a lot to learn about how to sleep and eat. And it's not too far-fetched to say that you could use some breathing lessons. For that matter, Sagittarius, you're not exactly a PhD in the art of happiness. I suggest you sniff around to see if there are any crafty elders offering workshops on how to regard everything that comes your way as a blessing.
What greater adventure is there than exploring the enigmas of your unique destiny, Sagittarius? For more hints about the week ahead, listen to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
Forget about the 900-pound gorilla problem, Capricorn; you've got it pretty much neutralized for now. I suggest you turn your attention to the three-gram hummingbird dilemma: you know, the beautiful little bundle of nonstop energy darting around like neon fire. Please keep in mind that the brave forcefulness you summoned to deal with the gorilla may not be of much help in this fresh challenge. A suggestion: Try tuning in to your own inner hummingbird.
Hungry for more inspiration, Capricorn? Curious about the unfolding mysteries? For more juicy details about your destiny in the coming week, check out your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
"The elephant never gets tired of carrying its tusks," says a proverb of the Vai tribe in Liberia. I suggest you make that a central meditation in the coming week, Aquarius. Maybe it'll inspire you to intensify your commitment to the duties that make you so unique and beautiful. It's the perfect astrological moment to do that. Do not, however, interpret the proverb to mean you should keep hauling around toxic emotions that you generated while neurotically slaving away at obnoxious duties in the distant past. They not only weaken and uglify you, they're also unnecessary. Dump them.
How much do you want to know about your destiny in the coming week, Aquarius? How far do you dare to go? For more insight into your shimmering, undulating fate, tune in to your Expanded Audio Horoscope for the coming week. The reading costs $6.
The average Pisces catches 147 colds in a lifetime, endures a serious case of hurt feelings three times a month, and fantasizes about the end of the world once every 6.2 days. I predict, however, that you will experience none of the above during the coming weeks. That's because you're slipping into a grace period that may shock you with its ease, beauty, and abundance. It will be a time when your innocence regenerates and your wisdom freshens; a seed time when your determination to feel good will trump your habitual tendencies to expect the worst; a time of awakening when your perceptions will deepen and expand even as the world is created anew right in front of your eyes.
No one knows you better than you do, Pisces. But maybe you'll be inspired to dig up even more self-knowledge in the coming week if you tune in to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.

Instructor: T. H.
"Excursions in Computing Science" explores the role of computing in
understanding the universe. So we link up theoretical science, mathematics
and computing. Specifically, we look at some of the big ideas in science,
such as quantum theory, special relativity, and gene expression; at the
supporting mathematical concepts in linear algebra, mathematical logic,
and nonlinear attractors; and at computing techniques including data
structures, procedural abstraction, and object-orientation.
This course is a dance of science, mathematics and computing, with each of
these subjects treated in novel ways, without prerequisites beyond high school.
(A CEGEP graduate may have seen some of the material before, but from a quite
different approach.)
The science motivates the mathematics and the computing. The mathematics
provides the concepts for the science and the formalisms for the computing.
The computing gives experience with the mathematics and predictions for the
science; later in the course, advanced computing applications are based on the
mathematics. We can understand the science through mathematical analogies,
which are better for abstract science than conventional analogies such as waves
and particles. The mathematics captures the subtleties; the computing captures
the complexities. The mathematics explains the science; the computing explains
the mathematics.
The intention of the course is to to be a head start, by experiencing
the abstractions by which we do science. We do this by progressing from the
science from which the abstractions emerge, to the mathematics which explores
the abstractions, to the computing which extracts the predictions and brings
the abstractions back to science. Playing the three against each other gives a
better grasp than looking at any one of them on its own. We do real science,
real math and real computing. The novel way of looking at them will complement
the detailed coverage of later, more advanced courses. You will encounter again
the abstractions experienced here, and you will be ahead of the game by having
experienced them.

COMP 199 Excursions in Computing Science
Part I Time and Spaces
The science discussed is quantum physics and special relativity, with
motivation from and applications to polarized light, quantum electrodynamics
and nuclear physics.
The mathematics covered is the linear algebra of (mainly) two-dimensional
vectors, matrices and tensors, and excursions into higher dimensions, especially
three-dimensional Clifford algebra.
The computing aspect introduces array data structures and operations, functions
as procedural abstraction, some numerical linear algebra in the form of equation
solution, discussion of algorithm complexity and divide-and-conquer, and
applications to graphics, multimedia and Internet search engines. A guest
lecture introduces quantum computing.
A discussion of symmetry introduces the mathematics, and many applications from
molecular vibrations, crystals and wallpaper to the electron structure of the
atom, quarks and the conservation laws of physics.
A discussion of heat introduces the mathematics of distributions and timeseries
and a computer simulation of gas dynamics, leading to the thermostatic
abstractions of entropy, temperature and pressure and to many ramifications
of transport thermodynamics, including Brownian motion, electricity and
thermoelectricity, rheology and chemical reactions. Phase transitions are
introduced with computer simulations rather than mathematically, leading to the
many-scale (fractal) nature of criticality.

Jun 8, 2011
It's been 19 years since X-Men debuted in arcades, hungry for quarters and inviting us to fight against Magneto and his band of evil mutants as the superhuman X-Men. After making HD appearances on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, it's finally found its way to Android.
This is an extremely faithful port of the arcade game, save for a few nice updates such as a level select, "awards" to unlock, leader boards, OpenFeint integration and 4-player multiplayer over WiFi. The only part of the game that doesn't attempt to recreate the arcade experience is the lack of dependence on a steady stream of quarters. At the start of each game, you have 7 lives (wither fewer lives on harder difficulties) to rack up as high a score as possible. If you lose all of your lives, your score resets, but you have unlimited continues. So, even if you're not very good at this game, you can still beat if it you just keep playing.
At the heart of X-Men is the simple, repetitive fighting action. As enemies approach from every side of the screen, you just tap the "punch" button to attack with a variety of movies that happen automatically. Punches, kicks, grabs and throws all work the same. You can also tap the "jump" button to launch yourself for an aerial attack, although it's not always easy to land these where you want them.
This is a game about the X-Men, though, and as anyone familiar with the X-Men knows, they are mutants with superhuman abilities. Cyclops shoots optic blasts from his eyes; Wolverine has adamantium claws that cut and tear; Storm can summon violent, destructive storms; Colossus emits an energy blast from his body; Dazzler can drop energy bombs and Nightcrawler can kill enemies by teleporting through them. Simply by tapping the "mutant power" button, you can unleash these powerful attacks to clear the screen of enemies. However, using your mutant power drains your health, and once it drops below a certain level, you can only activate your power a limited number of times. It pays to exercise caution and use your powers strategically by saving them for the big boss battles at the end of each stage.
Having one of my favorite arcade games available on my phone any time I want to play it is a real treat. However, if this were a new game coming out today, I don't know if I'd score it as high. It's short, but extremely repetitive. On top of that, I could probably criticize the animation, the graphics or the poorly translated dialog, but because this a port of a classic we've grown up with, we expect these things to be in here. Truth be told, if I played the game and found that someone had "fixed" its "flaws," I'd be extremely upset. I expect to hear Magneto say, "Welcome to die!" and "I am Magneto, master of magnet!" As such, this is a faithful port with a few small glitches, but plenty of updates to make it great.

MEQUON, Wis. - With only one meet remaining before the NAC Indoor Championships, the Concordia University Wisconsin men's and women's track & field teams are starting to look like squads capable of making noise in the Northern Athletics Conference and beyond.
The Falcons are coming off a weekend away from competition after four consecutive indoor meets, three of which took place in Kenosha, Wis.
Both men's and women's teams have gotten contributions from veteran returners and freshman newcomers alike, something that has excited CUW head coach Russ DeLap.
"We're doing very well," DeLap said. "I look at progress with the number of personal records we're setting, and we've been averaging anywhere between 20 and 35 personal records every meet. We're getting more and more athletes who are ranked in the top 10 in conference in their respective events, so it's getting exciting."
On the men's side, senior Vincent Greefkes (Jackson, Wis.) leads the NAC in the 55m Hurdles with a top time of 8.45 seconds, with fellow senior Alex Pawlak (Colgate, Wis.) right behind him in second with a time of 8.47 seconds.
Senior Justin Rogers (Milwaukee, Wis.) has been a productive multi-event athlete for the Falcons, ranking sixth in the NAC in the long jump, fourth in the triple jump, third in the 55m Dash, and second in the 200m Dash.
CUW also ranks first in the conference in the 4x400m Relay, with a team consisting of Ryan Gardner, Jonny Balsman, Alex Pawlak, and Sean Pawlak.
"We have a lot of young talent that down the road, maybe a year from now, will be very good if they continue to work hard," DeLap said.
For the women, junior Becky Gifford (Madison, Wis.) has performed well in a number of separate events, as she's ranked first in the NAC in the Long Jump (15' 0") and the Triple Jump (33' 5.25"), fifth in the 55m Hurdles (10.25), and third in the Shot Put (36' 4.25").
Sophomore Jessica Hennig (Springfield, Ill.) ranks second in the 400m Dash with a time of 1:03.24, and fourth in the Pole Vault (7' 5.75"), while sophomore Alexandra Garcia (West Allis, Wis.) is fourth in the 55m Dash (8.44) and sixth in the 200m Dash (28.63).
This weekend, CUW will compete in its final meet before NAC Indoor Championships, when they travel to Stevens Point, Wis. to take part in the Eastbay/Pointer Invitational.
DeLap says that the team will look to begin its "taper" this week in practice, by decreasing the intensity level in an effort to gear up for NAC Indoors, which will take place on February 25 in Kenosha, Wis.
"Most athletes will be doing one or two events to really go all out and sharpen up this weekend," DeLap said. "As long as everyone stays healthy, things are looking good. We certainly have the chance to compete for some conference championships."
This weekend's meet is set to begin on Saturday at 10:30 a.m., inside UW-Stevens Point Multi Activity Center.

Ameritox Joins Coalition for Excellence in Medication Monitoring
Ameritox to Help Coalition Establish Industry Standards to Benefit Patients, Physicians, Payors
Jan 09, 2013, 10:00 EST
BALTIMORE, Jan. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Ameritox®, the nation's leader in medication monitoring, has become a founding member of the Coalition for Excellence in Medication Monitoring (CEMM). The coalition, consisting of some of the nation's leading medication monitoring companies, was formed to advance clinical treatment and standards of care for patients who are prescribed opioids for chronic pain.
With use of prescription opioids on the rise, it is increasingly important for clinicians to effectively manage the medication adherence of their chronic pain patients. Medication monitoring gives physicians critical information and insight to help them evaluate patient adherence to their pain medication regimens and achieve better outcomes for patients.
The CEMM will play a critical role in helping to develop standards for this evolving industry. Included in its effort will be the development of a Code of Conduct that sets standards for ethical practices in the industry.
"As the pioneer in pain medication monitoring, Ameritox is proud to again be leading the way as a founding member of the CEMM," said Scott Walton, CEO of Ameritox. "This coalition of industry leaders will play a critical role in helping set industry standards that benefit patients, physicians and payors. We fully support the coalition's efforts to advance the science and ethical practices of the medication monitoring industry -- it will strengthen patient care and provide an overall benefit to the nation's healthcare system."
Ameritox provides medication monitoring services that go beyond standard urine drug testing. Ameritox's Rx GuardianSM process features Rx Guardian CDSM, which provides physicians with a tool to compare normalized drug levels in their patients' urine to a database of patients who were clinically assessed as adherent. Ameritox also provides services to help support physicians, patients and the industry in the quest to help manage prescription medication use, misuse, abuse and diversion.
About the Coalition for Excellence in Medication Monitoring

Spring 2009 Issue
What's Old is New Again
The works of Barry's graduating art, graphic design and photography students were highlighted at the Senior Art & Photography Exhibition December 12-January 30.
The exhibition, held in the new 4,100-square-foot Andy Gato Gallery, featured the works of graphic design students, Elmo Lanclos, Shanna Vollmar, Adlai Moss and Rebecca Warren; photography students Ana Olivares, Idolka Salgueiro and Megan Frank; and studio artists Sonia Neira-Matthews and Julia Snowden.
Pictured below at right is Snowden's "After Bartolini's Trust in God." The work is part of a series of five black and white acrylic paintings of figurative sculptures produced in the 18th and 19th centuries. The paintings' titles include the sculptors' name as well as the title of the original sculpture.
Shown above at right is a photograph by Megan Frank. The old-world mom and pop shops, diners and gas stations found on back country roads are the subject of Frank's work. "From secret recipes to old antiques, these shops hold something unmatched by the modern world," Frank says of the two-week trip from Ohio to Florida when she shot the pictures for this series. "The people I met and places I visited can best be described as my kind of haven. They've given me insight into a world that was before my time."

The 30 Years of Network Evolution, A Three-Part Blog. Part Three: The New Frontier in Layer 2 and Layer 3 - SDN
Well, many of you may be wondering what happened after the network disruption that Cisco did a decade ago. Where are we going from there? Do you still want to stay status quo? If status quo is your answer then look back at the two disruptions I talked about: Remember demise of Novell, the retiring of DEC net and Vines and almost sudden collapse of IBM? Of all the companies that came into the networking arena in the 80s and 90s, IBM still treads on albeit with a smarter approach. IBM still exists because in the days of SNA, many organizations and mind you large financial ones wrote their applications around that protocol. Reinventing the wheel would be a massive task and as such IBM slowly got onto the Cisco disruptive train of the 80s.
All the Right Moves…
Decades of networks that created huge client/server solutions and a technology that, though bleeding, still improvised to deliver their services in the new physical world. Applications were written to meet the available technology and huge investments in the networking gear were made to keep the business rolling. That decade also created some of the smartest people in networking industry and certifications such as CCIE, CCNA, CCDP, etc. flourished. Cisco became a billion-dollar company overnight and controlled the entire network and the destiny of some of the largest industries in the world. They became the darling for the networking industry as IBM was decades earlier.
But then some false steps…
Cisco then followed the path of some of the other TDM networking giant of 80s.. Remember Newbridge! Cisco started building devices for everything that customers wanted to connect to the network and hence they counted the dollars by selling the Ethernet ports.
Meanwhile IT Organizations Feel the Pain and Begin to Adjust
Fast-forward 2000 and the world started looking at their IT infrastructure from a different angle. It became the largest cost item for an organization and it kept on draining money that could have been used for better service development. The first disruption of the 2000 came in the compute industry. Customers invested millions in hardware and kept on investing on them as technology improved and demand for services increased. This created two major problems for the customers:
Running out of space and energy costs. Both these problems carry huge dollar value with them. Genius people came up with the idea to virtualize the compute hardware. Now instead of buying new server hardware, they are able to run a virtual instance of that application on existing hardware. This made sense in the business world as more throughputs was achieved from existing hardware that was invested in earlier.
Compute Virtualization Paves the Way for Networking – Who's on Board?
As server virtualization hit its momentum, networking vendors realized that it wouldn't be long before virtualization would creep into networking. How would a networking company with billions in revenue react to such threat? First, ignore it and counter the theories with different ideas using old technology…remember Status Quo. Then embrace it with a disguised open virtualization story that points back only to their unique hardware dependent protocols. Isn't that a status quo all over again…or was that deja vue?
If you want to be like IBM, accept the disruption and engage in the new way of architecting the network. Wait a minute…did I say new way? What will happen to all the certifications that people have invested in and made careers out of them? Well, these are the same people who may oppose the disruptions in the network layer.
Some companies are fully on Board - and even driving the Train
A few companies in the networking industry realized early on that disruption is inevitable and as such took on the challenge to the bleeding edge of the technology. Brocade is one of those companies that realize that virtualization in the networking layer can speed the delivery of services for any company. Openness, flexibility and the ability to create service profiles and deploy them in the network will let the network adapt to these services and not the other way around.
Welcome to Software Defined Network (SDN)…the disruptor to status quo. For more information about Brocade and SDN read this paper or follow this blog as we continue to outline how SDN can help you achieve your new network of independence and automation in end-to-end application use cases from the data center to the campus edge.

Pittman (Norris, Tenn.) had two double-digit kill matches against the BSC Lady Blues and CU Lions. She tallied 18 in her opening match against Bluefield State and hit at a .680 mark. She then followed up in the night cap against Concord with 13 kills.
"Pittman continues to provide a lot of leadership on and off the court for us," said Head Coach Chris Toomey. "Her offensive production has been phenomenal for us. She is a gamer that loves to compete and comes out every match motivated and focused. She is going to be a force for us all year long."
Junior Shannon Earwood also had a great day at the net setting up the front line offense. The CLASS registered 43 assists through two matches, good for 7.17 assists per set. She also added two service aces on a night that the team tallied 20 total.
Leading the team with eight service aces from the line was junior Natalie Brown (Brentwood, Tenn.). Kirsten Hamel (Weaverville, N.C.) and freshman Payton Tipton (Cleveland, Tenn.) also chipped in with four aces apiece.
King (7-7, 1-0) took three sets from Bluefield State by scores of 25-14, 25-10 and 25-12 to defeat them for the second time this season. Earwood stood out with 18 assists and seven digs alone, accompanying Pittman's 18-kill showing.
"I have seen a lot of our youth get tested in the first 14 matches and also see that testing begin to show itself in a positive way," said Toomey. "They are starting to make good decisions and playing with more confidence."
The Lady Tornado returned to the court at the Carter Center and dispersed Concord in straight games 25-15, 25-22, 25-17. Brown tallied six of her eight services aces on the night in her match against the Lions alone, accompanying 10 digs.
King readies itself for the heart of their Conference Carolinas schedule, beginning a 12-game stretch against league opponents. They start with home matches against Belmont Abbey and Lees-McRae before taking to the road for their next six games. The Lad y Tornado host Belmont Abbey on Friday, Sept. 23 at 7:00 p.m. and Lees-McRae on Saturday, Sept. 24 at 2:00 p.m. at the Student Center Complex.
"After the tough beginning of the season it is nice to win some matches and get into a rhythm," said Toomey. "It is exactly what we needed before getting back into conference play with two tough teams that are going to be natural rivals for us in the future."

This is surgery to place a tube through the abdomen and into the stomach. Gastrostomy can be done as:
- Endoscopic procedure: a more common and less invasive procedure called percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG)
- Open procedure: an incision is made in the abdomen
Reasons for Procedure
A gastrostomy tube provides an alternative feeding site. It may be needed to:
- Feed a person who has a hard time swallowing, has appetite problems, or is otherwise unable to eat
- Drain the stomach of acid and fluids that have built up due to gastrointestinal problems, such as bowel obstruction due to cancer
Possible Complications
If you are planning to have gastrostomy, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Aspiration—accidental sucking into the airways of fluid, food, or any foreign material
- Damage to other organs
- Anesthesia-related problems
- Skin irritation around the tube
- Dislodging or malfunctioning of the tube
- Diarrhea
Complications are more common in older adults. Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Obesity or diabetes
- Smoking, alcohol abuse , or drug use
- Use of certain prescription medications
- Prior abdominal surgeries
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the surgery.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor will likely do the following:
- Medical history
- Review of medications
- Physical exam
- Assessment of swallowing ability
- Blood and urine tests
- X-rays of the abdomen
- Endoscopic examination of stomach—An endoscope is a long tube with a camera at the end that can be put down the throat into the stomach.
Leading up to your procedure:
- Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to 1 week before the procedure.
- Avoid food or fluids after midnight before surgery.
- Arrange for a ride to and from the hospital.
General anesthesia will be used. It will block any pain and keep you asleep through the surgery.
Description of the Procedure
If you are unable to undergo PEG, this will be done as an open procedure. In some cases, gastrostomy may be done at the same time as another stomach surgery. An incision will be made through the skin, abdominal wall, and into the stomach. A tube will then be placed through the skin and into the stomach. This tube will be stitched in place. The incision will be closed.
Immediately After Procedure
The doctor will make sure that the tube is placed correctly. You will be moved to the recovery room and monitored closely.
How Long Will It Take?
1 hour or longer
How Much Will It Hurt?
You will have pain after the surgery. Ask your doctor about medication to help with the pain.
Average Hospital Stay
This procedure is done in a hospital setting. The usual length of stay is several days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
Post-procedure Care
After the procedure, you can expect the following:
- Depending on your condition, you may need to get nutrition through an IV for the first day or 2 after the tube placement or until your intestine is working normally. You will then be started on clear liquids. You will gradually move to thicker liquids.
- Learn how to administer tube feedings. Also, learn how to flush out your tube. This will decrease the risk of blockages.
- Learn what to do if you have a serious complication such as a dislodged tube or aspiration.
Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions.
Call Your Doctor
Contact your doctor if your recovery is not progressing as expected or you develop complications such as:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge from the incision site around the tube
- Problems with the tube, including if it becomes dislodged, clogged, or malfunctions; dislodging is most common during the first 2 weeks that the tube is in place
- Leaking of feedings around the site of the tube
- Cough, shortness of breath, chest pain
- Nausea, vomiting, constipation , or abdominal swelling
- Inability to pass gas or have a bowel movement
- Severe abdominal pain
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Radio host Mathew Blades collecting Bras for a CausePosted: Updated:
TEMPE, Ariz. -- October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is why Mix 96.9 is hosting Bras for a Cause.
For the third year, radio personality Mathew Blades is asking women to hand over new or gently used bras. The goal is to raise awareness about breast cancer and to encourage people to take action.
"My goal is to get people talking about breast cancer and how it affects all men and women in the Valley and around the world," Blades wrote on Mix 96.9's Bras for a Cause Web page. "We do it by creating a huge wall of bras, along with our crusade this year to provide 96 mammograms to women who do not have the availability to receive one on their own. We want to send a message of hope but also serve as a reminder that we are all in this together."
Dangling between a pairs of cranes and blowing in the wind, the wall of bras was clearly visible to drivers on Loop 101 and Loop 202 as they passed Tempe Marketplace.
"The most incredible part about this whole thing has been the action side of this, which is new to Bras for a Cause this year," Blades said Friday morning, just a few hours into his daylong "bra-cast." "We're offering up nearly 150 free mammograms to women [who might not be able to get them otherwise].
"The studies are out, the stats are out, that if you catch [breast cancer] early enough, the odds of beating it are a lot better," he continued. "That's why we're out here."
Blades and Mix 96.9 started their live "bra-cast" from Tempe Marketplace at 5 a.m. They'll be there all day – until 6 p.m. -- and they want to collect as many new and gently used bras as possible.
In 2011, Bras for a Cause collected more than 3,000 bras, which were dry-cleaned and donated to the Sojourner Center. That's where the bras displayed today will go. Sojourner Center provides shelter and support services to those affected by domestic violence.
"This is one of those things that people don't think a lot about -- donating a bra," said Connie Phillips of Sojourner Center. "When you think about women fleeing their homes, coming to a shelter setting, they're needing everything -- including bras. ... We just don't get enough donated. It's one of those basic needs that everyone really appreciates."
Each year, Sojourner Center provides safety and support for nearly 3,000 women and children.
National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is the perfect time to remind people that with the exception of skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women. It's also the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women.
"Since its inception more than 25 years ago, NBCAM has been at the forefront of promoting awareness of breast cancer issues and has evolved along with the national dialogue on breast cancer," reads NBCAM.org.
Right now there are more than 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S.
Blades' twofold goal is really quite simple. He wants people to talk about breast cancer and then take action.
"If I have to put 3,000 of 4,000 bras in the air on a couple of Tempe cranes, that's what I'm going to do," he said.

WEST NORRITON — Construction of a new pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the Schuylkill River upstream from the Route 422 bridge began Wednesday morning with a groundbreaking ceremony that also celebrated a three-year, accelerated 2015 start for widening and rebuilding the Route 422 bridge.
The $9.3 million, 14-foot wide Sullivan's Bridge will replace a rickety, 3-foot-wide boardwalk-style pedestrian/bicycle walkway bolted onto the side of the Route 422 bridge. That narrow outrigger was built after the Betzwood Bridge, popularly called the "Whistling Bridge," was demolished in 1995.
The bridge deck for the 604-foot long bridge will be about 25 feet above the river's surface, much lower than the Route 422 bridge. It will be supported by three concrete piers in the Schuylkill River and connect the Schuylkill River Trail with the trail network in Valley Forge National Historical Park.
State Sen. John Rafferty (R-44th Dist.) recalled driving on the Betzwood Bridge. He said the replacement project was "languishing" 12 years ago when he was in the state Legislature. Construction of Sullivan's Bridge by J.D. Eckman Inc. of Atglen will be completely financed by federal funds and will be completed in May 2016.
"It's fantastic both for recreational users and local residents," said Don Naimoli, the board chairman of the Friends of Valley Forge Park. "This is exciting."
West Norriton Commissioner Stephen Tolbert Jr., a resident of Betzwood, said he lives within a block of the new bridge.
"I've never lived in West Norriton with a completed bridge," Tolbert said. "I appreciate our legislative team in Harrisburg fighting for this."
Lower Providence supervisors' Chairman Colleen Eckman said her 12- and 15-year-old sons ride bicycles on the adjacent Schuylkill River Trail and would enjoy using the new bridge across the river.
"It's a much needed improvement to keep the pedestrians safe," Lower Providence Supervisor Patrick Duffy said.
"It's exciting to be here as the parent of small children," said Pennsylvania Transportation Secretary Barry Schoch.
State Rep. Mike Vereb (R-150th Dist.), "It's been 23 years that this bridge was closed to traffic. People demanded this. It's amazing what happens when Democrats and Republicans work together."
The top ten choices of the May 2013 "Name the Bridge" contest, were Anna Holstein Bridge, Betzwood Trail Bridge, Continental Crossing, Freedom Bridge, Nathanael Greene Bridge, Patriot's Crossing, Revolutionary Bridge, Sullivan's Bridge, Valley Forge Crossing and Von Steuben Bridge, said Diane Ward, a board member of the Friends of Valley Forge Park.
"There were 23 variations of the Sullivan's Bridge name, among the 252 entries," Ward said.
Major Gen. John Sullivan was instructed by Gen. George Washington to build a bridge across the Schuylkill River during the 1777-1778 Valley Forge winter encampment by the Continental Army. There is a marker on the Schuylkill River Trail about one-quarter mile upstream from the location of the new Sullivan's Bridge honoring Sullivan.
"If the Continental soldiers could see what we are beginning here today, wouldn't they be proud?" said Valley Forge park Superintendent Kate Hammond. "Proud because our community has chosen to name this wonderful new trail bridge for the general who constructed a wooden bridge across the Schuylkill in the middle of winter, 235 years ago. Gen. John Sullivan, who was a son of immigrants to America, oversaw the construction of the original Sullivan's Bridge. His troops stood in ice-filled waters, and faced shortages of timber and tools to build a bridge to connect the two sides of the encampment. I think they would be honored that their achievement is remembered."
The assembled politicians dug shovels into a ceremonial pile of dirt to symbolize the start of construction and then resumed the press conference to announce the accelerated start for the $133 million widening and replacement of the five-lane, Route 422 bridge over the Schuylkill River.
Les Toaso, the District 6 executive of PennDOT, said the Route 422 bridge project was originally slated to begin construction in 2018, but the passage of the $2.3 billion Act 89 transportation bill in December 2013 pushed up the schedule for bidding in July 2015 and a construction start in October 2015. The project is expected to take four years.
The bridge handles 83,000 vehicles per day and frequently backs up during rush hour.
A new, westbound Route 422 bridge, with three travel lanes, a future travel lane and two shoulders, will be built just downstream from the existing Route 422 bridge. When that bridge is complete, all traffic will be switched to that bridge while the new, eastbound Route 422 bridge is being built.
The existing bridge is 72 feet wide, and the two new bridges will be about 146-feet wide with eight travel lanes. When the new bridges are opened they will operate with three lanes in each direction with the extra lane reserved for future traffic volume.
Schoch said the "southeast delegation led" efforts for passage of the $2.3 billion transportation bill.
State Rep. Tim Briggs (D-149th Dist.) said Sullivan's Bridge and the Route 422 project are a critical component of Upper Merion. He suggested the new Route 422 bridges should be named for Rafferty, but Rafferty quickly declined the honor, which got a laugh from about 80 people assembled for the press conference.
Montgomery County Commissioner Josh Shapiro lauded the "$133 million investment in Montgomery County, in addition to the millions the county has invested in transportation."
Montgomery County Commissioner Bruce Castor Jr., the lone Republican commissioner, said, "We call it nonpartisan in county government. There is no partisan way to improve transportation."

Hey all,
I have a Savage X 4.6 I've had for several years now and am debating the idea of converting to brushless.
Is it worth the effort to do so? Wrenching on them has never been an issue for me, but I'd like some feedback. Especially with HPI discontinuing the conversion kit.
Thanks in advance.

IBM CPRM Plan Replaced with Similar Copy-Prevention Plan
General IP Issues
Slashdot sez
Several people submitted the news that IBM withdrew its CPRM plan yesterday - some of them with blurbs like "We Won! Yay!". But only a few people got the additional information that it was simply replaced with another extremely similar copy-prevention scheme, this one from Phoenix Technologies, well known for their widely used BIOS's. Even though the committee responsible for this has been deluged with email in opposition, the CPRM group (led by Paul Anderson and Jeffrey Lotspiech of IBM) continues to press forward, distributing propagandistic lies about how the system will protect [sic] your fair-use right to access and use digital content. Update: 02/24 7:20 PM EST by michael: The Register has even more information from Andre Hedrick.
