UNH football team to take on Wofford in tournamentBy ALLEN LESSELS
New Hampshire Union Leader
November 18. 2012 7:55PM
DURHAM - The NCAA selection show for the Football Championship Subdivision tournament commenced at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday on ESPNU.
The football team locker room in the Field House erupted with cheers at about, oh, 1:32, when a bracket for the tournament that included "New Hampshire" appeared on the television screen.
"I didn't even see it," said senior offensive lineman and captain Chris Zarkoskie. "Everyone else started screaming and yelling. I just started crying. That would have been the last football game I ever played yesterday and that's not how I want to go out. That's not how I want this team to go out. I know we're better than that."
The Wildcats, crushed by Towson by a 64-35 score on Saturday, live to play another day.
UNH received a first-round bye and plays at Wofford in Spartanburg, S.C., in a second-round game on Saturday, Dec. 1.
The teams are in a bracket that includes North Dakota State, the defending champion and No. 1 seed in the tournament.
UNH is in the playoffs for the ninth straight season - the longest such streak in the country - and its selection capped an emotional roller-coaster of a weekend.
The weekend started with huge promise with the Wildcats playing Towson for their first outright Colonial Athletic Association championship since 1994 on Saturday at Cowell Stadium.
The weekend swung through that devastating and demoralizing loss to Towson and hours of worrying about whether the Wildcats would receive an at-large invitation to the tournament.
UNH and Wofford of the Southern Conference both are 8-3 overall and 6-2 in their league games and each grabbed a share of their conference championship.
In years past, an 8-3 record in a major conference such as the CAA or Southern Conference was pretty much a guarantee of landing an at-large berth in the tournament.
Not this year.
After UNH's loss on Saturday, several followers of FCS football predicted that the Wildcats were going to be among the teams with good records that would be left out.
As it turned out, the Wildcats were one of three CAA teams selected for the tournament, joining No. 4 seed Old Dominion and Villanova. Villanova finished 8-3 and 6-2 and received the CAA's automatic bid to the tournament via a tiebreaker. ODU was 10-1 and 7-1, but was ineligible for the CAA championship or auto bid because it is stepping up to the Football Bowl Subdivision next season.
Both Towson, which improved to 7-4 and 6-2 on Saturday, and Richmond, 8-3 and 6-2, shared the CAA title with UNH and Villanova. Neither Towson nor Richmond was selected for the tournament.
UNH's concern was that it left the decision up to a committee.
"Everything else was in our hands until 3:30 (Saturday) afternoon," McDonnell said. "That's the tough thing, You think you deserve it. But I've seen teams not go. You look, Lehigh's got to feel pretty tough right now with a 10-win season and not going. And Towson, the way they played at the end of the year."
The challenge ahead is to bounce back from Saturday's disappointing game against another team that loves to run the ball.
"The game yesterday leaves a bad taste in everybody's mouth," McDonnell said. "But it doesn't matter right now. We were 6-2 in the conference, 8-3 overall. We had a six-game win streak. I thought we responded any time we had adversity during the season. It's a credit to the kids, that they stuck with it. A credit to people for figuring out we're a pretty good football team."
The winner of the UNH-Wofford game plays either North Dakota State, South Dakota State or Eastern Illinois in the quarterfinals. Eastern Illinois plays at South Dakota State in a first-round game next Saturday and the winner of that plays at North Dakota in the second round on Dec. 1.
UNH is just happy to be playing again.
"It was the lowest of the lows yesterday and the highest of the highs today," Zarkoskie said.

STORY TIME. You see the title "Wisconsin Firefighters' Union Tries to Block Parade Float Honoring 9/11 Victims" and you think, well, guess the firefighters tried to block a float about 9/11. But the headline's at National Review, so you suspect bullshit and read the source article, and find out that the firefighters in Racine just declined to march with or support the float, which is still in the parade and run by a fireman who bailed on the union, and who insists throughout the article (in which he amplifies his complaints about his ex-union-brothers' lack of cooperation) that he doesn't mean to make it about politics, but about 9/11 our heroes etc
The lying we should all be used to by now, though I am surprised NR factotum Christian Scneider didn't find another misleading article to link to instead of linking directly to the source that refutes his spin. What's noteworthy about this stinkbomb is what a perfect piece of culture war ordnance it is. For years conservatives slobbered over firefighters because they were living symbols of 9/11, their war cry and ass-saving campaign theme. Times have changed; rightwingers who once cheered whatever wars Bush demanded in the Middle East have turned peacenik on Obama's Libya adventure. And in Wisconsin, where firefighters have been largely united in their opposition to the Scott Walker neo-feudalist program, conservatives are suddenly realizing that firefighters aren't so hot after all -- they're really all looters and parasites like the rest of those Americans who insist on their New Deal advantages! All, that is, except those few firemen who eschew the union, who become the only smoke-eaters fit to be associated with nineeleven neverforget.
Remember, their lying and spin may seem to be merely habitual, but it's actually also strategic.
UPDATE. In comments Susan of Texas points out an article in the rightwing City Journal by Tom Gray, containing this remarkable line: "Police and fire unions may resent the public's sudden turn against them, but they have only themselves to blame." Gray's evidence that the public has turned against cops and firemen is flimsy, but rest assured he and his buddies will keep working on making it so.

For the past few years I have been doing mostly high res models and textures. I'm attempting to change industries and since games require a much lower poly count I have been getting back into the low poly side of things. I have been working on this for a couple of hours and I wanted some crits. Thanks! All 3d renders are only color and transparency maps. No bump, spec, or reflect yet.

You don't have any normalmaps, bumpmaps, specularmaps, ect.. And you have a very basic shader, which is not good enough even in todays mobile games. This is a good start, but there is still much to do. -pete Back to top Bottingradjunior memberMember #Joined: 06 Jun 2007Posts: 4Location: U.S Eastcoast Posted: Mon Jun 11, 2007 4:15 am Same poly count as before. This time with spec, bump and normal maps. The normal map still needs work. The rig is done but I haven't captured a video of it yet. Pete, This is just a warm up to get back into low poly models. My next model will be a much higher poly count. Thank you for your comments! Back to top iandreddmemberMember #Joined: 04 Jul 2002Posts: 178 Posted: Mon Jun 11, 2007 5:50 am Hi Bottingrad, nice work!

Christie's contemporary art sale held this week in New York was the most expensive single auction in history, raking in $745 million.
The top-selling work of the evening was also the world auction record for artist Barnett Newman, who died in 1970. His previous record-selling painting was "Onement VI," which sold last year at Sotheby's for $43.8 million.
The use of a black palette in this piece is similar to his other work of that time period. "Newman wanted to handle the raw canvas, relative to the black, in such a way that it would 'become color' and possess its own sense of light," according to a profile of the artist by the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
The buyer of "Black Fire I" remains anonymous.

By Doug Palmer
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Senate Finance Committee on Tuesday approved the nomination of White House chief international economic affairs adviser Mike Froman to be U.S. trade representative, setting the stage for full Senate approval.
"I am glad he got such strong support in the committee," Chairman Max Baucus, a Montana Democrat, said in a statement after the voice vote. "He now deserves that same support in the full Senate. We need to quickly approve this nomination so Mr. Froman can hit the ground running and get to work."
Froman is President Barack Obama's third cabinet nominee to receive committee approval this week. The Senate Commerce Committee on Monday approved the nominations of Charlotte, North Carolina, Mayor Anthony Foxx to be transportation secretary and billionaire Chicago businesswoman Penny Pritzker to be commerce secretary.
Last week, the Senate Banking Committee backed Fred Hochberg for a second term as president of the U.S. Export-Import Bank, a non-cabinet post that has played a key role in supporting Obama's goal of doubling exports.
So far, no senator has threatened to block any of the nominations, which all moved through the committees with strong bipartisan support.
However, the influential conservative group Club for Growth has urged senators to delay action on the Hochberg nomination in the hope that doing so would shut down the Ex-Im Bank, which it sees as a form of "corporate welfare."
Hochberg's term expires in July, as do the terms of two other Ex-Im board members, potentially leaving the bank without a quorum to approve new transactions.
On Friday, Senator Charles Grassley, an Iowa Republican, again highlighted Froman's use of an offshore tax haven, despite Obama's harsh criticisms of those investments.
"This is an example of the president's having one set of standards for his political opponents and another for his friends and supporters," Grassley said, noting that Pritzker and Treasury Secretary Jack Lew also had offshore accounts.
Froman already has a leading role in crafting U.S. trade policy. Last weekend, he attended the informal summit meeting in California between Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping, and next week he will join Obama for a meeting of the leaders of the G8 industrialized countries in Northern Ireland.
If confirmed by the full Senate, as expected, Froman will replace Ron Kirk as the top U.S. trade negotiator in March. Kirk left the administration in March after four years in the job.
Froman would take over the position as the United States tackles a huge trade negotiation with 11 other countries in the Asia Pacific region and prepares to start another with the 27 nations of the European Union.
During his confirmation hearing last week, Froman pledged to work with Congress to win renewal of "trade promotion authority," which expired in 2007.
That legislation would allow the White House to submit trade agreements to Congress for straight up-or-down votes without any amendments, and give lawmakers the opportunity to set negotiating objectives for the two pacts.

Microblading is a semi-permanent treatment for the brows where the ink is injected using the microrblading pen, and the strokes are drawn one by one to resemble the natural brow hairs.
The microblading process last around 2 hours to complete and includes: drawing the shape of the brows with the temporary pen - this is the most important step and it's well worth spending time on - followed by applying a numbing cream to reduce the pain and discomfort.
After the completion of microblading there is no recovery time, and the brows can last for a few years.
It is extremely popular treatment and where before there used to be only specialists offering the service, now days microblading is available from most beauty salons.
Sometimes the salons would have a visting microblading expert to ensure the highest quality of service to the clients.

When Cole Davis founded Keystone RV in 1996 his vision was clear: Build a quality RV loaded with features priced thousands less than other RVs on the market. To accomplish his goal, Cole would recruit and build a strong team, focus on keeping overhead low, and empower the people closest to the customer to make decisions.
Within a few short months after opening the doors, Keystone produced its very first camper. Delivering big on quality, features and value, the public fell in love with it. A star was born! As the appetite for the camper increased, new Keystone models were added to satisfy growing customer demand. Along with this tremendous growth came the need for expanded production. To meet this need more manufacturing plants were built and staffed.
From new floor plan designs to patented inventions, Keystone leads the way in product innovation. One reason is our mission to stay close to the customer. When talking with campers or visiting dealerships, our sales, product development, and service teams, are always looking for ways to improve the camping experience. And we don't stop there.
Every member of the Keystone family is encouraged to contribute to making our campers absolutely the best possible. Through something we call Kamp Keystone, our employees camp free of charge at local campgrounds in the Keystone trailers we supply. Each year hundreds of our production workers, administrative staff and service team enjoy a day (or a week) at Kamp Keystone. Their evaluation of the experience and the feedback they provide results in continued product improvements. Ask us if we use our RVs...the answer is YES!

New Banner Designs at Crisler by Me (Feedback appreciated)
With Michigan just winning the B1G Championship, it brought to my mind of a project I was working on earlier in the year. I emailed Dave Brandon my new banner designs with me making points of why the banners at Crisler should be updated to fit in and have a fresh look with the new arena.
First off, with the University showing a commitment to Basketball with the beautiful new Crisler Center, the banners commemorating Michigan's championship teams should be freshened up. Dave Brandon is putting much emphasis on the Block M, so the current Block M should replace the current older-looking one that is on each banner at Crisler.
B1G Championship Banners: The new banners I have made include the current B1G logo replacing the banners with the previous logo that had the hidden 11 in it. It would make more sense for Michigan to raise a conference championship banner with the actual logo of the conference on it. The year on the banners feature the the full season instead of just the end year. For example: 1986 Big Ten Champions is replaced with 1985-86 Big Ten Champions. It gives more clarity and gives it a more complete look.
NCAA National Championship Banner: The banner I designed features the current NCAA logo in Maize and Blue, replacing the former NCAA logo.
NCAA Final Four Banners: Like the NCAA Championship banner, the banners feature the current logo of the NCAA replacing the old one.
NIT Champions Banners: I took the actual NIT lettering from the NIT logo and put it in Maize and Blue replacing the NIT lettering in generic font.
Elite Eight Banners: Michigan does not display any Elite Eight banners up in Crisler, therefore this is just to see how people feel about it. An Elite Eight appearance is nothing to look down upon since you are one of the Top-8 teams that season. I know what you're thinking but only the 1992 Final Four was vacated from the 1991-92 season, so the 1992 Elite Eight did still happened according to the NCAA.
Sweet Sixteen Banner: This may be a little too far, even I am not too crazy about this one but I am just putting this up to get some feedback. Instead of having multiple banners for the Sweet Sixteen appearances, I took a page out of the large banners at Yost with the Frozen Four years on them. The 1992 Sweet Sixteen appearance still exists officially.
Vacated Banners: This is a longshot but if Jalen Rose's wishes are fulfilled in restoring the banners taken down in 2002, here is what they would look like. I'm not going to comment on these.
Honored 5: People don't realize that not all of the banners honoring players at Crisler are retired. In fact, #33 is the only one that is retired. Colton currently wears #45 and McClimans wears #22. Modeled the number banners to resemble the current jerseys the team wears with the block M at the top just like the jerseys. Cazzie's banner is white to signify that his number is the only one retired of the Honored 5. I would have put his number on a Maize banner, but the Maize uniforms weren't around when he played.
Feedback appreciated!

If you've ever coveted the privacy of your own hotel, head to Brighton's posh The Harrington. You'll be left utterly alone, as the hotel only has one room! The clandestine digs are also chock full of opulent upcycled designs – including this LEGO chandelier designed by John Harrington himself!
The confidential hotel calls itself a "No-tell Hotel," allowing guests to quietly check in and out. Butlers, chaffeurs and cocktail mixologists can be booked to up the decadent ante, and access to the best shows ad restaurants tell the guests of The Harrington they are of top priority.
The 19th Century building is still clad in historic, rich woodwork, and as guests enter though an indoor garden, they are greeted with a huge chandelier that is made from 300 crystal glasses, all from different time periods. The wooden staircase wraps around the chandelier and leads to the main quarters. Harrington has constructed an incredible chandelier made from black LEGOS for the main room, which echoes the Victorian design seen throughout the hotel. Many antique touches can be found throughout, like the door handles which were acquired from a French chateau, as well as a historic stained glass window that filters light into the cast iron tub. The giant bed is sandwiched by a mahogany piano cut in half. The piano was once loved by Harrington, and the hotel found a new purpose for it as bedside tables. A touch of a button on each piano half commands the motorized mini bars to rise.
Every detail meshes antique touches with creative upcycled design. Vintage tea cups have been transformed into wall sconces, speakers are hidden behind Victorian picture frames, and a silver tea service set is repurposed into coat hangers.
The Harrington was designed for seclusion, comfort, and for those who appreciate historic design and a modern aesthetic. The lucky guests who check-in can expect the privacy of renting a private apartment or a B&B, but be immersed in the opulence of one of the best luxury hotels.

CAIRO (AP) — With the surprising easy removal of Egypt's top brass, Egypt's Islamist President Mohammed Morsi tapped into discontent among the military's younger officers who apparently grew frustrated with the aging generals. Significantly, the move reflects a recognition among the new generation that the military must back out of trying to rule directly and cede room for the first civilian president.
Whether this signals a decline in the political and economic influence of the military, which has been the source of Egypt's rulers for the last six decades, or is a new power-sharing arrangement with the new Islamist civilian-led administration, remains to be seen.
The new defense minister, 57-year-old Lt. Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, is 20 years younger than his sidelined predecessor and was the youngest member of the council of generals who ruled Egypt for 17 months from the fall of Hosni Mubarak until Morsi's inauguration in late June.
The inside maneuvering that led to this week's removal of the man who led the military for 20 years, Field Marshall Hussein Tantawi and his chief of staff, remain obscure. The changes have been publicly depicted as a consensus agreement between the generals and Morsi.
But there are signs it may have been in effect a palace coup by Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood figure who is eager to assert his authority, and younger officers who wanted a change from the septuagenarian leadership. Those younger officers viewed the older generals as too hide-bound and believed they hurt the military by focusing on wielding political power, opening the much-revered institution to scathing criticism and even calls for prosecution.
The opportunity for them to act came with an Aug. 5 attack by militants that killed 16 soldiers in the Sinai Peninsula near the border with Israel and Gaza, the worst death toll for the military in decades. The attack exposed the military to criticism unseen since its defeat by Israel in the 1967 war, in which Israel occupied Sinai, Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Syria's Golan Heights.
Some politicians with inside knowledge of both the military and the Brotherhood said el-Sissi himself was critical of the top brass' handling of intelligence preceding the attack and that he made his criticisms known to Morsi — possibly providing the chance to move. The politicians spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of military issues.
"I think there was a pre-agreement between el-Sissi and Morsi," said Hossam Sweilam, a retired Egyptian army general. He said the decision was a surprise to the ruling generals and that they found themselves cornered. "Tantawi and the council couldn't object because it would have meant a civil war, a military and political confrontation with the Brotherhood and their militias."
Immediately after the Sinai attack, Morsi sacked the head of general intelligence and the leaders of the Republican Guard and arranged the removal of the military police chief. Then on Sunday, the 78-year-old Tantawi was swept away, as was his chief of staff Sami Anan. The commanders of all the branches of the armed forces were also replaced.
Morsi's bold move alarmed critics of the Muslim Brotherhood, like Sweilam, who fear that it signals the start of an attempt by Islamists to take control of the country's most powerful institution. A popular TV presenter even called el-Sissi the "Brotherhood's man in the military."
Prominent columnist Ibrahim Eissa welcomed the new leadership as a chance to reform the military, but warned that the generals must also resist Islamist influence.
"The disaster would be that we find ourselves forming an army like Pakistan's that grows beards and fights a war for implementation of Shariah," he wrote Wednesday in the daily Al-Tahrir newspaper.
But the fast changes may reflect more of a re-arranging of the relationship between the military and Morsi, recognizing that the armed forces cannot be in direct competition with an elected president. For the younger officers, it is a chance to use the new president to achieve their hopes of changes in the military. There has reportedly long been criticism among younger officers over a sharp decline in professionalism under Tantawi, who built up the military into a bloated institution and political machine that provided patronage.
"Most of the generals were of retirement age ... The difference in age between them and the troops was large, and was closing the road to them for promotions," said Mohammed Kadri Saeed, a former military man who is now an analyst with the Al-Ahram Center for Strategic and Political Studies.
"It wasn't that there was a revolt but criticism and a difference in the way of thinking," he said.
El-Sissi could bring significant changes in the military's focus.
Traditionally, the defense minister post has been held by the commander of one of the armed forces' combat branches. However, el-Sissi served as the head of military intelligence for the last two years.
The agency was long tasked with monitoring troops and their morale. But after the fall of Mubarak in February 2011, it has taken a far greater role in internal intelligence, including tracking of domestic political groups and Islamic militant groups. That task previously fell to the State Security Service, but that agency — widely hated among Egyptians — was hard hit by the anti-Mubarak uprising and has since been relegated to a behind-the-scenes player. Under direct military rule, the military intelligence appeared to have filled a big part of that role.
That makes el-Sissi highly useful for Morsi.
El-Sissi "is the man of the hour. He knows a lot and this is good for the big man," said Saeed, the military analyst.
Morsi "picked a man who would be very useful for this period. This is a period that needs much information, not a period of war. There is an internal war against terrorism, and there is also information needed for anything related to next political moves."
The United States, Egypt's top ally and provider of billions of dollars to its military, had long pushed Tantawi to turn Egypt's military toward counterterrorism. U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta spoke to el-Sissi on Tuesday and said el-Sissi promised not to allow the Sinai to become a staging ground for militants.
In a number of U.S. diplomatic cables published by Wikileaks before the uprising, U.S. diplomats said the Egyptian military was in decline, blaming Tantawi for failing to modernize and adapt to deal with new threats and continuing to focus on Israel as the enemy.
What is not clear is whether el-Sissi's elevation will mean any reduction of the military's huge economic interests and business ventures, which some say account for over a quarter of the GDP. Maj. Gen. Mahmoud Nasr, the deputy defense minister for financial affairs who earlier this year vowed the armed forces will "not allow anyone" to touch its economic interests, remains in his post.
Insiders say el-Sissi may have played an important role in the military's decision to stay on the sidelines during the 18-day uprising against Mubarak. In his capacity as military intelligence chief, el-Sissi is believed to have reported to the top generals that the middle ranks of the military would resist any order to fire at protesters.
After Mubarak's fall, el-Sissi was also among the first generals to meet with the protest leaders after the ouster of Mubarak, listening carefully to their views, according to some who met with him. He also met briefly with critics of military rule, defending the policies of the generals.
El-Sissi's apparent personal religiosity has raised questions of a hidden sympathy with the Brotherhood. Activists who met with him say he would often dot his comments with verses from the Quran.
On Wednesday, a Facebook page known to be close to the military dismissed the idea el-Sissi was close to the Brotherhood, pointing out that he rose to prominence and was repeatedly promoted under Mubarak.
"Everyone knows the animosity of the former regime to the Brotherhood," it said.

All exercises should be completed with proper technique maintaining good posture
throughout. Use technique and posture failure as an indicator as to how challenging
you find the resistance or exercise position. Optimize the resistance and exercise
type according to your own ability.
It is important to incorporate exercises that cover all major muscle groups into
your main workout to ensure a balanced program. Focusing too much on one muscle
group can cause muscular imbalances.
Taking these guidelines into consideration means that you will get far more from
your workouts, advance quicker and help reduce the risk of exercise related injury.
Always seek professional advice from a qualified fitness instructor before attempting
any exercise or workout.

The museum will be closed until further notice to allow for a transformation. The current buildling isn't practical to heat in the winter (it used to be a factory) so the mueum will be moving into another building. We are excited to announce a new home for the ALCO Heritage Museum exhibits. The Walter Elwood Museum in Amsterdam, NY will host our cased exhibits and artifacts beginning February 15, 2014. This will allow many of our exhibits to once again be viewed by the public in a year-round setting.
Our work isn't done! An amazing cast of volunteers worked to make the grand opening a major success, but this is only the beginning. Stay tuned for information about opportunities to help upgrade and enhance the museum experience.
The restored "Patton" tank made by ALCO, on loan from its owner, will still be there along with the exhibits from the original building. More objects are being gathered and displays are being created. Work is also underway to bring complete steam and diesel equipment to the museum for display.

MIAMI (AP) — Federal health officials have issued a rare warning about doctors' ownership of shares in medical device companies that allow them to profit from performing surgeries with those products.
The inspector general of the Department of Health and Human Services issued a fraud alert Tuesday that called the practice "inherently suspect" and said it may violate anti-kickback laws.
The agency has only issued a handful of these national fraud alerts in the past 20 years and the warning sends a strong message to the medical industry.
The U.S. Senate Finance Committee warned of an uptick in these doctor-medical device partnerships in 2011, saying they were proliferating in at least 20 states.

Bingham native key fundraiser at Utah State
LOGAN, Utah — Growing up in Bingham County provided Neil Abercrombie with much of the understanding of his new job at Utah State University.
In December USU President Stan Albrecht named Abercrombie as director of government relations.
As such he will help USU garner state and federal funding for key academic programs and research projects.
"A lot of our programs and research have direct relevance to Bingham County," Abercrombie noted in a telephone interview last week. "One of our primary focuses this legislative session is to get funding to start a doctoral veterinary program."
Before returning to Utah State — he has a bachelor's degree in Law and Constitutional Studies and a master's in political science from the university — Abercrombie was director of policy research for the Utah League of Cities and Towns. He worked for that organization for the past five years.
He is a 1996 graduate of Aberdeen High School.
"One of the benefits of attending a small school is you get to be involved in a little bit of everything," Abercrombie said. He played football, basketball and golf, was student body president his senior year and was involved in the youth legislative and Close Up programs.
"I definitely tried to fill my time," he recalled with a laugh.
"The youth leadership program definitely opened my eyes to the policy-making process," he said.
Teachers who helped him on the road to his career, he said, included English teacher Cheri Mitchell, basketball coach John Wilson and his dad.
"Cheri helped with the youth legislative program and Wilson taught public speaking," he said. "Through him I gained confidence in speaking, definitely a key skill to learn. And my dad was always intrigued in the different aspects of making a good leader."
With his parents — Gary and Sherian — working in the Aberdeen and Snake River school districts, he attended schools in both.
His dad was taught science and agriculture at Aberdeen while his mother spent many years teaching at Rockford Elementary before finishing as director of the Snake River Public Library.
Although he now bleeds Aggie Blue, as the news release about his hiring noted, Abercrombie didn't originally intend to attend Utah State.
"Initially I had planned to go to a different university," he said. "I went late in the summer of my senior year and loved the campus. I found it to be a great community."
He fit an LDS Church mission to the Arkansas Little Rock Mission between his freshman and sophomore years.
He is married to Mica McKinney, a fellow USU graduate from Highland, Utah. She earned a law degree from the University of Utah and now practices with a Salt Lake law firm.
"I wanted to have a career where I could work in academia," Abercrombie said. "While my primary focus is working with the legislature, I get to work with students, too."
He said he is excited to learn about the great research, learning and projects going on at Utah State as he works to ensures its growth as a top regional university.

The High Line's planting design is inspired by the self-seeded landscape that grew up between rail tracks after the trains stopped running in the 1980s. Today, the High Line includes more than 300 species of perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees — each chosen for their hardiness, adaptability, diversity, and seasonal variation in color and texture. Some of the species that originally grew on the High Line's rail bed are reflected in the park landscape today.
This week we share with you one of our gardeners' current favorites.
Korean feather reed grass, or Calamagrostis brachytricha, is an ornamental grass that has bright green foliage during the warmer months of the year. At the end of the summer, it flowers with feathery pink-tinged panicles, or blooms, that fade to a golden color as the weather cools and the seeds ripen. All of the High Line's grasses are allowed to overwinter naturally before being trimmed during our annual Spring Cutback Korean feather reed grass' firm stalks and dried seed heads will eventually add beautiful texture to the High Line's winter landscape.
On the High Line at 15th Street, 24th Street, and between 28th and 30th Streets

BOISE, Idaho - Looking to avenge an overtime loss two weeks ago, the Idaho men's basketball team stormed into Taco Bell Arena, jumped out to big lead and never looked back in handing Boise State its second-worst loss in series history with a 79-55 road win on Saturday.
The Vandal men broke open an 8-8 tie early in the first half with a 14-0 run, keyed by senior Luciano de Souza's three 3-pointers, and cruised to the team's biggest win of the season. The victory puts Idaho at 11-11 overall and 3-7 in the Western Athletic Conference, while bumping BSU to 11-12 overall and 2-8 in WAC play.
Idaho head coach Don Verlin told the team after the game that they "removed a huge softball out of my stomach," with the win, referring to Idaho's 77-67 overtime loss at the Cowan Spectrum two weeks ago in which Idaho led by seven with less than three minutes to go in regulation.
"We just got hot," Verlin said of the quick start. "De Souza got hot, Johnson made a couple, and then away we go.
"I looked up and we're up 20 and it was like, 'Oh my.'"
De Souza connected on four of his six attempts from the 3-point line and all four free throws to give him a career-high-tying 16 points. Fellow seniors Kashif Watson and Mac Hopson contributed 14 and 11 points, respectively, while Hopson also added a team-high five assists. Sophomore Luiz Toledo, the WAC's most accurate shooter, hit five of his six attempts and scored 11 points, along with seven rebounds.
Idaho scorched the nets from the perimeter in hitting 10-of-20 from 3-point range, while also outscoring the Broncos 28-18 in the paint and 10-3 on fast break points. Idaho's bench contributed its most points (33) since scoring 43 in the team's season-opening win at Utah.
While Idaho's shooting offense was impressive, its defense was equally strong. The Vandals held BSU's leading scorer, Ike Okoye, to just one made field goal and five points, while holding the Broncos to just 28.6 percent from the field. The Broncos shot 45.2 percent from the floor, but made nine fewer field goals than Idaho after turning the ball over 19 times.
"We did a great job early in the game," Verlin said. "Our posts did a great of getting around and not letting them get close post seals near the basket like we did last time, and then our perimeter guys did a great job of keeping them out of the middle of the floor."
Idaho broke open an 8-8 tie by scoring 14 unanswered points from the 12:40 mark to the 8:59 mark of the first. BSU's Paul Noonan broke the streak with a 3-pointer to pull Boise State within 11 at 22-11, but Idaho's Steffan Johnson knocked down a pair of triples and Idaho answered by scoring the game's next 11 points to go up 33-11 at the 6:24 mark of the first.
The Vandals went into the break with a 45-19 lead, their largest halftime lead since Nov. 28, 2008, when they took a 42-16 edge into the half against UC Irvine. The 26-point edge at the half is also the team's largest over a WAC foe since joining the league in the 2005-06 season.
Boise State outscored Idaho 36-34 in the second half, but it didn't matter, as the Broncos never got closer than 18 points in the second half as Idaho held on for the big win.
"I thought we did a good job of finishing it up and finding a way to win," Verlin said. "It's always good to win a game against your in-state rival on their floor by 25 – you don't do that very often."
Combined with last year's 56-54 win at Taco Bell Arena, Idaho has now won back-to-back road games at Boise State for the first time since the 1989 Big Sky Tournament Championship game and the team's 1990 Big Sky Conference opener. The 26-point win is the second-largest for Idaho in series history and the most for Idaho ever in a road game against BSU.
While the game was played in the unfriendly confines of Taco Bell Arena, there was still a hefty Vandal influence in the crowd, which totaled 7,734.
The Vandals will savor Saturday's victory, but Verlin said that for the team to keep its momentum, it must focus totally on next week's upcoming home game against Nevada on Wednesday. That game, which tips off at 8:05 p.m. (PST) will be televised nationally on ESPN2.

A keyboard is more than just a tool for typing into your computer. It's one of two peripherals that you directly interact with so finding the perfect one is vital to a good PC experience. For the gamers out there, a good mechanical gaming keyboard can improve the way you play with faster response times and more tactile feedback. For others, LED backlighting can provide gentle illumination in dimly lit workspaces, a full RGB spectrum light show, or even game specific hot keys. Finally, look to dedicated media and macro keys as an added convenience and to help maximize your efficiency. You can learn more about the differences between a mechanical keyboard and a traditional keyboard by visiting our blog here..
A gaming keyboard is similar to a regular keyboard with the exception of a few very important differences. The main one is the type of switch used. A traditional keyboard uses rubber domes which feel mushy and provide little feedback. A high quality switch such as Logitech's Romer-G switches, Corsair's Rapidfire switches, Razer's mechanical switches, or any Cherry-MX switch variants will provide a very satisfying and clear actuation point, so you have full control in your games. Click here to learn more about gaming keyboards.
A wireless keyboard is the quickest way to reduce clutter on a desk. Whether it uses infrared, bluetooth, or even Wi-Fi wireless connectivity, a wireless keyboard allows you the freedom to sit anywhere you want and still have full control over your computer. Look for a wireless media keyboard with a built in trackpad so you can control the mouse as well - an excellent option for any media PC's or Smart TV's.
If you sit at a desk and type for many hours of the day, then look for an ergonomic keyboard. By offering a more natural typing position, ergonomic keyboards can reduce strain and pressure in your wrists and elbows for a more comfortable experience. There are many different variants available, including models that split the keyboard in half, different angles for each key, and special padded rests for long term use.
NCIX is the best online and computer store for computer accessories that offers the best price for computer keyboards and wireless keyboards.
NCIX Canada has the best selection of Logitech keyboards as well as other Logitech products where you can buy Logitech mice & pointing devices, buy Logitech keyboard & mouse combo, buy Logitech PC headphones, buy Logitech speakers & audio and buy Logitech webcams.

In his annual State of the City Address, Mayor Bloomberg focused mainly on his strategy for stabilizing the city's economy and pulling it out of recession. The plan he outlined in today's address at Brooklyn College focused on three main areas: job growth, quality of life, and making city agencies more efficient. According to a draft prepared for today's delivery [PDF, via the New York Times], the first point of the nine-point plan focuses on creating jobs by investing in infrastructure– including, in the Mayor's own words, "opening the first section of the world's most innovative park, the High Line in Lower Manhattan."
The High Line is only one of the infrastructure projects the Mayor referenced that have created "25,000 construction-related jobs" this fiscal year.
Other points in the Mayor's job creation plan include helping small businesses by launching more Business Improvement Districts, and creating "green" jobs by improving energy efficiency in City buildings.
The Mayor also emphasized the importance of improving quality of life in New York City, pointing out that 300 new acres of parkland have been created in the city over the last seven years, and pledging to protect the park system, "a precious asset that belongs to all New Yorkers."
Another project the mayor unveiled: his office's new YouTube channel, where you can watch a video documentary by Ric Burns, "This is New York City," that preceded today's speech.

StockCall Analysis on PulteGroup and Lennar: Housing Market Sizzling
Jan 21, 2013, 08:00 EST
LONDON, January 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
The residential construction industry is primed for lift-off, following stellar December figures for single-family and multifamily home production. StockCall analysts have taken these positive notes to release their technical report on PulteGroup Inc. (NYSE: PHM) and Lennar Corporation (NYSE: LEN). Sign up today to make the most of these free reports at
With the wind at its back and the all-important spring buying period soon to come, construction companies could rise even higher. A new report from the National Association of Home Builders detailed the improved numbers, reporting that single-family and multifamily housing starts shot up 12.1% in December, marking the highest rate of new home production since June 2008. Single-family housing starts climbed 8.1% while multifamily housing starts soared 23.1%. Several major industry players have already announced sparkling quarterly results, and amongst them is Lennar Corporation which recently posted its fourth quarter earnings with home deliveries up 32% as compared to last year to 4,443 homes, and new home orders up 32% at 3,983 homes. Technical report on Lennar is available today for free at
Chief Executive Officer of Lennar Corporation Stuart Miller noted in the release that during the reported quarter the housing industry sustained its recovery pace with key factors like low mortgage rates, affordable home prices, reduced foreclosures and an extremely favorable 'rent vs. own' comparison driving recovery. Mr. Miller stated that housing should play its traditional role in the broader economic recovery by promoting jobs, boosting consumer confidence and assisting new homeowners towards wealth building through home ownership which in turn brings about economic growth.
A number of factors have contributed to the positive increase in the National Association of Home Builders numbers. Lower unemployment has granted a greater number of individuals access to income, and low interest rates have also made purchasing a home more enticing. Inventories of new homes are also depressed, which is also a positive for the residential construction industry. Furthermore, an overheated rental market has also tipped the scales in favor of buying.
It will be interesting to see if the trend continues as more companies release their financials. Industry player PulteGroup Inc. [Free Report on PHM] [(1)] will be releasing their earnings report on January 31st. The upbeat sentiment in the industry has compelled investors to react bullishly as PulteGroup saw its share price cross a new 52-week high last Friday.

Cop Wheels
|Cop Wheels
Carl Johnson, Wu Zi Mu, Zero and Guppy planning on stealing police motorcycles for their heist at Caligula's Palace
|GTA San Andreas
|No Boss
|The Strip, Las Venturas
|Up, Up and Away!
|Unlocked by
|Dam and Blast
Cop Wheels is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to the protagonist as part of plans to pull off a heist of Caligula's Casino from the Four Dragons Casino in Las Venturas.
Carl Johnson recently planted remotely detonated explosive charges on the main generators of Sherman Dam, the central power source serving Las Venturas, in order to provide a means of creating darkness and confusion while robbing the vault at Caligula's Palace. His next step in planning the heist is to seize 4 HPV-1000 police motorcycles to be used as outriders for the armored vehicle Carl plans to use to haul off the cash without raising suspicion. With only minutes to spare before alerting the police to their activities, Carl rushes about Las Venturas, stealing the motorcycles, while Wu Zi Mu's assistant drives a Packer around the Julius Thruway, awaiting each bike as Carl drives it up the truck's loading ramps. After four bikes have been collected, Wu Zi Mu's assistant returns them to the Four Dragons Casino to be stashed until the heist is in full swing.
Carl Johnson: Alright, here's the plan. It's all about the art of deception. While I get as much heat on me as possible, y'all get away with the green.
Zero: Question: How does the Mafia normally move cash out of Caligula's?
Carl Johnson: Bingo! Stripes for Mr. Zero here.
Custodian: Ha hey! Good job, you little ass-kisser!
Carl Johnson: So we're going to steal ourselves an armored car and re-spray it so it looks like one of their regular trucks.
Guppy: What about the police escorts? Whenever they move cash around, they use police motorcycles as outriders.
Carl Johnson: Exactly what I was thinking. C'mon, come with me, and we're gonna go get some cop wheels.
(Carl steals four police motorcycles)
Carl Johnson: OK, that should do us. Take care of those bikes. Now get out of here!
The reward for completing the mission is increased Respect. The mission Up, Up and Away! is unlocked by completing the mission.
- The name of the mission is a possible reference to Hot Wheels.
Carl Johnson steals the first bike from an officer who pulled over a drunk driver.

Laser Swath Mapping System for Hydrothermal Plumes
DOEI Project Funded: 2004What are the primary questions you are trying to address with this research?
The method of hydrothermal plume detection by optical backscatter (OBS) is a highly effective part of a suite of plume detection techniques currently used on the AUV platform. The OBS essentially looks for cloudy water. A shortcoming of the current OBS sensor is that it is essentially a point source measurement: the AUV must pass directly through a plume in order to for the optical backscatter instrument to sing. Thus the resolution of the current OBS is limited to the separation between track lines in the AUV survey, and a narrow plume stem could "fall through the cracks". We propose to design an improved swath-type OBS instrument capable of detecting a plume several meters to either side of the vehicle, greatly enhancing plume detection. The design incorporates a pair of green lasers, one projecting to each side of the vehicle. Set back from the lasers are an optical detector and telescope which scan along the beams, looking for scattered light.
What is the significance of this research for others working
in this field of inquiry and for the broader scientific community?
While this technology would prove universally useful to hydrothermal vent research, it is essential for plume mapping in challenging environments where an AUV is the only feasible survey method, such as under Arctic ice. Most importantly, it would allow systematic, robust searches for plume stems from an AUV platform. This stand-alone AUV capability is essential for the NASA-funded Arctic initiative. More broadly, any advance in optics in the deep ocean is exciting, and new adaptations of the laser swath system may arise.
What is the significance of this research for society?
The impact this technology will have on society will largely be determined by the scientific research it enables or facilitates via AUV-based hydrothermal vent surveys.
When and where will this investigation be conducted?
A preliminary investigation into the properties of an eye safe green laser in ocean water was conducted in the summer of 2003 by Johanna Mathieu, a summer student fellow. Encouraged by her findings, a further study into the quality of optical backscatter in vent plumes is to be conducted in November 2004 at the TAG hydrothermal mound. The third phase of the project will involve designing a photodetector based upon data gathered from the TAG voyage, with implementation of the laser/detector system in surveys to follow.
What are the key tools or instruments needed to conduct this
Apart from the elements of the instrument itself (two lasers and an optical detector in pressure housings), the Jason ROV and its high sensitivity monochrome camera will prove essential to the development of the laser swath system. Jason makes the TAG phase of the project possible: Jason is going to the TAG mound for another study, so the laser test fits seamlessly into the dive schedule. Not only does Jason give access to the deep ocean vents, the ROV is maneuverable enough to position the laser at will around vent plumes, allowing better qualification of backscatter characteristics. The camera will function as a light detector for this phase of the project by providing an image of the laser beam scattering off of plume sediments. The final detector for implementation on an AUV platform will be designed specifically to the purpose of backscatter detection, rather than image formation.
What are the greatest challenges - physical or intellectual
- to conducting this investigation?
Selection and design of components of this system each rely on accurate values for light attenuation and backscatter signal strength. Such values will be obtained experimentally on the TAG mound. One challenge will be to design the instrument to work in conditions of varied water clarity and backscatter strength, not just the conditions on TAG. Keeping power consumption to a minimum is always paramount for an instrument to be deployed on an AUV, so power is an ever-present challenge.
Is this research part of a larger project or program?
As previously mentioned, the laser swath detector should facilitate AUV-based Arctic vent field research. Additionally, this technology can feed into an adaptive vent field search algorithm, under development by Mike Jakuba. Specifically, the laser system's large swath width lends new flexibility in track line planning, which is welcome in an AUV that is essentially planning part of its survey.
