More news about: North Central (Ill.)
Nov 09, 2013
Playing to avenge a College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) loss for the first time in three years, the North Central College football team played with a champion's resolve on Saturday at Wheaton College, breaking open a close game with another strong second half and defeating the Thunder, 35-16, to clinch at least a share of the Cardinals' eighth straight CCIW title.
The fourth-ranked Cardinals (9-0, 6-0 CCIW) regained the Little Brass Bell, the traveling trophy between the two teams, which Wheaton had owned since a 35-21 victory in Naperville last season. North Central also assured itself of the CCIW's automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Football Championship.
"We had a lot of guys play with a lot of courage," said North Central head coachJohn Thorne, who recorded his sixth win over the Thunder. "We had a lot of guys play through pain and come through for us in the second half."
Wheaton (7-2, 4-2) dominated the battle for time of possession for most of the first half, keeping its offense on the field for more than 20 of the 30 minutes of game time. The Thunder opened the scoring in the first period as quarterback Jordan Roberts eluded the North Central pass rush and scrambled 33 yards to the end zone. He capped off a nine-play, 80-yard drive which ate up more than five minutes. Wheaton's extra-point kick was unsuccessful, leaving the score at 6-0 with 3:48 left in the opening period.
"Our biggest adjustment was for our defensive linemen to realize just how quick their quarterback really was," Thorne said. "He's very slippery, so we just tried to help them adjust their angles.
"They had a great game plan, and their running back did a fabulous job. He's hard to tackle, so we tried to convince the guys to tackle him a little lower, and we ran a few more blitzes."
The Cardinals countered with their first score on the next drive. A 26-yard pass from Spencer Stanek to Peter Sorenson got North Central into the Thunder's half of the field, and a 16-yard run by Ryan Kent left the visitors just six yards from the goal line. Stanek found Chad O'Kane, who had been on crutches as late as Thursday following last week's win over Illinois Wesleyan University, for a touchdown pass on the next play and put the Cardinals in front, 7-6.
"I told Coach Thorne on Monday I was playing," O'Kane said. "I didn't feel a thing. I felt great, just like I expected."
Wheaton ran more than five minutes off the clock early in the second quarter before a missed field goal. Taking over on their own 27-yard line, the Cardinals marched 73 yards in nine plays, including a three-yard run by Kent on fourth down. Stanek finished the drive by firing an 18-yard pass to A.J. Thomas and a 19-yarder to Peter Sorenson to put North Central on the three-yard line before lofting a pass to the left corner of the end zone, again to Sorenson, for a 14-6 lead with five minutes left before halftime.
The Thunder narrowed the gap to a single point just before the break. Facing fourth down-and-one on the North Central 23, Wheaton opted to go for the conversion and wound up getting a touchdown run by tailback Jesse Geary with 49 seconds to go.
Taking the field for the first possession of the second half, the Cardinals caught a break when a Wheaton interception was nullified by a penalty. Stanek made use of the second chance, hitting Ryan Szudarski for 16 yards on third down before finding Sorenson on a crossing route for a 36-yard touchdown. The Cardinals owned a 21-13 advantage with 12:39 left in the third period.
North Central blocked a punt on the ensuing possession, but the Thunder recovered the ball to retain possession. Three plays later, however, the Cardinals forced another punt and took possession on their own 39-yard line. Stanek was 3 for 3 passing in a seven-play, 61-yard drive, fooling the Wheaton defense on a pump fake and finding a wide-open O'Kane for a 12-yard TD with 3:57 left in the third quarter.
The Thunder got a 34-yard field goal from kicker Sam Cote with 9:24 to play in the contest, and North Central responded by sealing the win with the longest possession of the afternoon. The Cardinals marched 75 yards in 16 plays, eating up nearly eight minutes of game time.
The Cardinals converted three third downs on the drive, as Ryan Kent ran six yards on an option play and Stanek completed a 10-yard pass to O'Kane before Stanek, facing a third down-and-15, ran up the middle of the field on a quarterback draw to move the sticks once again. With a fourth down-and-seven on the Wheaton 19-yard line, Stanek looked to Sorenson once again, who hauled in his third TD pass of the day with 1:31 left to put the game out of reach.
"I told the guys we just needed to sustain a really long drive," said Stanek. "We had to run some time off the clock because we knew they had a very good offense. The seniors on the offense just buckled down and made some plays."
Wheaton's final possession ended when Shane Dierking intercepted Roberts' pass near midfield. It was the seventh interception of the season for Dierking, who tied North Central's record with 15 career picks.
"It feels great (to tie the record)," he said. "It's been a lot of pressure, and people keep talking about it, so to get that monkey off my back feels pretty good."
After getting outgained in the first half, the Cardinals owned a 224-73 advantage in total yards after the intermission to finish with a 379-290 edge for the game.
"They were running the ball on us early," Dierking said. "We just had to play more physical football. They were taking it to us at the line, and Roberts was creating plays with his feet, which he does very well. We went to straight man coverage across the board so the linebackers could play the run more."
Stanek completed 21 of 29 passes for 242 yards and tied a single-game best with five touchdowns while running six times for 42 yards. O'Kane caught six passes for 46 yards and Sorenson made five grabs for 103, while Ryan Kent gained 97 yards on 20 rushing attempts. North Central's offensive line was stout all afternoon, permitting Wheaton to record just one tackle for loss.
Nick Slezak led the Cardinals' defense with 12 tackles and three tackles for loss, while John Focosi recorded two quarterback sacks. North Central has limited each of its CCIW opponents to less than 300 yards of total offense.
Geary gained 132 yards on 20 carries for Wheaton, while Roberts ran 17 times for 48 yards and completed 8 of 16 passes for 74 yards. Adam Dansdill was the Thunder's top tackler with 14 stops.
The Cardinals close out the regular season by hosting Augustana College (5-4, 3-3) on Saturday at Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 p.m., with Senior Day festivities to be observed prior to the game.

Royal Naval Hospital Haslar - Gosport, Hampshire, England
In 1746, the foundations were laid for what was to become the largest brick building in Europe at the time.
The original plan for the quadrangle building featured a fourth side that was never built – and the speculation is that cuts in funding were a problem for the Navy of the 1700s as was the case in later centuries.
When Haslar did receive its first patients, on 23 October 1753, the front block of the hospital was opened early at the urgent behest of the Admiralty - the first 100 admissions had up to that point been accommodated in the builders' huts around the site.
The records of those buried in the cemeteries are detailed below. Care should be taken, however, with the details given as some records have been found to differ from those given on the grave headstone. Therefore there is no guarantee given that the details listed are totally correct.
While most internments are singular graves some large memorials cover those killed when a ship or submarine sank taking all or most of the crew with them. The main ones being HMS Boadicea, HMS Eurdice, HMS Thunderer, H.M. Submarines A.1 and L.55.
Although Haslar Royal Naval Cemetery is a Naval Cemetery others than Royal Naval personnel are also buried within its walls. Members of the Royal Air Force, Royal Fleet Auxiliary, Merchant Navy, Foreign Navies and relatives of Royal Naval personnel.
Where ever the British Royal Navy has served, world-wide, it's officers and sailors have given their lives for their King or Queen and Country.
Where the British Royal Navy has had Naval Bases or Naval Hospitals at home or overseas it has been the practise to create and maintain Naval Cemeteries.
Where no specific Naval Cemetery have been created other cemeteries have been used, either for the burial of the deceased or for a memorial to the fallen.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this.
I'm replaying FS2 with 3.7.2 and the 2014 MediaVPs. In "Into the Maelstrom", one of the freighters/gas miners almost reaches its waypoint, then starts spinning in place. (Sounds like a "must reach these exact coordinates" versus "must get near these coordinates" issue.)
In "Speaking in Tongues", the Vasudans fire on the Iceni after saying they won't.
This will probably be the last final release build using DirectInput on Windows, hooray!

IEEE, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, is an international society of over 430,000 students and professionals in the electrical, computer, and technology fields. The society, begun in 1884 as the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, maintains as its mission statement:
"IEEE's core purpose is to foster technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity."
IEEE fosters technological innovation in several ways:
The activities and professional collaboration embodied by IEEE have made it an authority on current technological information across diverse fields from biomedical engineering to aerospace systems.
(Taken from http://www.ieee.org)
The national branch of the IEEE unites students and professionals in the United States and represents their interests relating to government policies, economic growth, credentials bodies, intellectual property, and more. The U.S. branch of the IEEE also notifies members of economic and professional developments related to the electrical/computer/technology fields and recognizes member achievements through journals and awards. In addition, the national IEEE promotes student involvement by sponsoring design competitions across the country and putting them in contact with career professionals. (Taken from http://www.ieeeusa.org)
The LeTourneau student branch of the IEEE hosts numerous activities to support our students' academic and professional success in the electrical and computer engineering fields. One way our IEEE chapter supports student development is informing our students of technological developments and career issues in monthly seminars led by industry professionals.
Our chapter also holds several technical seminars per semester to educate students on electronic design concepts, complementing classroom learning. Additionally, we sponsor students to compete in the IEEE Region 5 (Southwestern U.S.) Circuit Design Competition every spring, where teams meet from across the region to test their design skills against each other.
Finally, fun activities and socials encourage our electrical and computer engineering students to develop enriching relationships with each other that can support mutual learning and academic success.

Flickr came out of left field today during the hoopla that was the Amazon Kindle Fire announcement and released their Android application on the Market. Users of the photo sharing service (especially those who pay for the Pro tier of service) have been anxiously awaiting any sort of communication from Flickr or Yahoo! about an Android application after watching Flickr issue update after update to its fantastic iPhone application.
That day has come, Flickr-ites! The application itself is very attractive and implements a new style of UI, unfamiliar to most Android users. It utilizes Flickr's oft-criticized mobile site for some of its features. The real draw here is their in-app photo camera (think Lightbox) and the included filters, named after world cities. It's an interesting approach, yes, but it's a great way to get more photos onto the service from users. Once a photo is uploaded, the tight Twitter/Facebook/Tumblr integration that Flickr has rolled out over the past 2 years is seen on its Sharing screen. Sending photo links to your favorite social network is a snap and works really well.
The application takes a little bit to load–even on my Galaxy S II. I experienced a bit of a lag when starting it up, but once it's up and running the experience is fantastic. Take a look at some of the screenshots below and let us know what you think in the comments. And for those of you not yet signed up for Flickr, the application has a simple in-app registration process to get you started snapping photos in no time!

Last in the NHL, the Buffalo Sabres can't catch a break.
Milan Michalek scored his second goal of the game with 23 second left — a goal aided by a fortunate bounce of the puck off an official — and the Ottawa Senators defeated the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 on Thursday night.
The Sabres had fought back to tie the game with two third-period goals, but Senators captain Jason Spezza found Michalek in the slot and he beat Jhonas Enroth over the shoulder for the winner.
"It's all about winning and we're not doing that right now," said Sabres defenseman Henrik Tallinder, who added the puck hit the referee and went right to Spezza on the winning goal.
"Nothing you can do about it. We didn't go the right way that maybe we should have, but it hit the ref and bounces are going to happen but they just weren't in our favor."
Erik Karlsson also scored for the Senators and Craig Anderson made 30 saves. Michalek scored his ninth and 10th goals of the season.
"We believe there's still lots of goals left in Milan, but it's taken a long time to get them out this year," Senators coach Paul MacLean said. "With his work ethic and his play without the puck and his abilities on the penalty kill, there's never been a question about his contributions to the team.
"We knew if he would just stay with it good things would happen for him."
Tyler Ennis and Drew Stafford scored for the Sabres, who lost for the fourth straight time. Enroth made 33 saves.
The Senators led 1-0 heading into the third and then the play opened up.
It started with Michalek doubling the Senators' lead 10 seconds into the period on a perfect pass from Spezza, allowing Michalek to redirect the puck.
The goal was the fastest in team history from the start of a period breaking the old record of 12 seconds set by Spezza back in 2009.
"At least I'm still involved in (the record) I guess. I would have shot it if I knew that," Spezza joked after the game, quickly getting serious when the Sabres comeback was brought up.
"A two goal lead is a tricky lead. We give up the one goal to make it 2-1 and then really anything can happen with a bounce here or a bounce there. Hopefully we learn from it."
Spezza nearly scored himself on a great individual effort as he fought through the Sabres defense but was stopped by Enroth.
Ottawa got into penalty trouble but was fortunate when Ennis hit the post on one power play.
The Sabres had a five-on three advantage for 17 seconds but were unable to get a shot on goal.
Ennis finally broke Anderson's shutout bid at 10:25 of the third when the puck came to him in front after a failed wrap-around attempt by Stafford.
The puck rolled off Stafford's stick right to Ennis who fired into an empty net.
Stafford tied the game at 15:46 when he grabbed a rebound and went around Anderson, who was down and out on the play.
"There were no excuses not to battle as hard as we could going into that third period and we did a really good job," Ennis said. "It's super disappointing to lose that one."
The three previous games between the Sabres and Senators produced only seven goals, and it seemed more of the same through the first two periods.
Karlsson got that goal when he shot from along the boards eluded Enroth to give the Senators a 1-0 lead just 3:12 into the second period.
Despite seven power plays through the first two periods there were few quality scoring chances.
One the Sabres did have though came late in the second when Stafford drove the Senators net from just above the goal line but he was unable tip the puck through Anderson.
NOTES: Forwards Linus Omark and Marcus Foligno along with defenseman Tyler Myers were scratches for the Sabres. ... Scratches for the Senators were defensemen Chris Phillips and Joe Corvo plus forward Matt Kassiana. ... Senators forward Bobby Ryan has gone four consecutive games without a point, his longest such streak this season. The Senators are 10-0-3 in games this season when Spezza has at least two points ... Matt D'Agostini played his 300th NHL game and his 25th with the Sabres.

Last year, we had a beautiful Border Collie in our lives named Miss Molly. She was wonderful in so many ways – smart, fun, loyal, affectionate – but there were also some problems with her behaviour as well that made her incompatiable with life on our farm. I trained with her for months, went to private training sessions and group classes, saw three different trainers for help & advice, and when I felt like we were making great progress, Miss Molly started killing our chickens and ducks. We found her a new home, a GREAT new home with three other Border Collies, but I was devastated at saying goodbye (and my kids were pretty upset, too!).
For many months following Miss Molly's departure, I wondered if I had done the right thing. I missed her terribly (and I still do). Oddler and Echo helped to fill the void, but still I wanted a Border Collie, a dog to work with me on the farm.
Spring came and my birthday rolled around. On the morning of my birthday, Jae surprised me by telling me I should go ahead and start looking for another Border Collie to bring into our family – his birthday present to me. I applied for a few rescue dogs, but each time I was denied for one reason or another: no fenced yard (we're a farm!!), two other dogs, small children in the home. I gave up and began looking for a puppy, a wee little bundle to start fresh with.
At the beginning of June, Juno came home. She was 10 weeks old when I picked her up from the breeder, and pretty nervous about leaving her mom and siblings. The poor pup got carsick several times on the way home, but once she got out of the van, recovery followed quickly and she began settling into her new life on our farm.
I still miss sweet Molly, but my oh my, has Juno ever filled that aching spot in my heart! She's been a complete and utter delight to have around. Every morning at 6am we get up and start the day while the children snore. Juno comes outside with me and accompanies me while I do the farm chores. We work on some simple obedience commands and go for a brisk walk with the other two dogs on the Greenway Trail.
Juno's been coming everywhere with us for socialisation and training – to the splash pad and the beach, to market, to the homes of friends and family, to various parks and trails – and we've been going to a puppy obedience class. So far, so good! She is fitting into our family beautifully and is becoming a very well-behaved, well-socialised, eager-to-please little pup. We're so delighted to have her here!
I felt a little crazy when I brought home a third dog, but it's worked out pretty wonderfully so far. I'm really excited to see what Juno's future brings!

Full-time (non-visiting) faculty and staff from colleges, academic departments and programs, and other campus entities, may apply for a portion of these funds to support initiatives that are not funded through the regular budgeting process and that fit the University's definition of transformational learning opportunities.
While we welcome applications from all categories, special consideration will be given to undergraduate proposals that align with the following designations that speak to UNF and SUS Board of Governors strategic goals:
Experiences in the above categories may take place internationally or domestically.
This application is for undergraduate students only. A portion of each year's TLO funding is given directly to the Graduate School to facilitate their Graduate Research Grant program. Please contact them directly for more information about how they use their portion of TLO funding.
Before completing the TLO Application, please review the TLO Application Guide below. The Application Guide includes important information concerning the TLO Program and instructions on completing the TLO application.
The TLO application is online. Log into MyWings; under the Staff tab click Employee Self-Service; UNF Administrative Applications, Online Forms, then select either the International or Domestic Application.
Please check back soon for the TLO Application Deadline for projects taking place in 2019-2020 (July 1, 2019 - June 30, 2020).
Designing Successful Transformational Learning Opportunities (TLOs)2018 date and time to be determinedFaculty and staff interested in applying for Transformational Learning Opportunity (TLO) funds are invited to attend the TLO workshop entitled, "Designing Successful Transformational Learning Opportunities (TLOs)." This session will provide an overview of the TLO concept, some examples of past successful TLOs, and guidelines for applying for financial support. RSVP at firstname.lastname@example.com or contact Dan Richard with inquiries. firstname.lastname@example.com Manageable and Meaningful Assessment of Transformational Learning Experiences2018 date and time to be determined
UNF Faculty who apply for TLO funding design a wide variety of truly transformational learning experiences for students. Designing an assessment plan both enhances the TLO application and provides an important way to maximize student benefit from the experience. Yet assessing transformational learning objectives can be difficult because the objectives can be difficult to define, and because TLOs may not include graded assignments in the same way as other classes do. This workshop will help participants define transformational learning objectives and develop manageable assessment strategies for determining the impact of the TLO experience. Faculty and staff interested in applying for Transformational Learning Opportunity (TLO) funds are especially encouraged to attend. RSVP at email@example.com or contact Dan Richard with inquiries. firstname.lastname@example.com
For any and all questions relating to the TLO program please email Katie Sarria or call 620-2775.

As a counselor and
public speaker, as well
as a facilitator of her
Presence through Movement workshops, Kim has developed her own teaching modality which incorporates and complements Eckhart's teachings. Her teachings are aimed at the transformation of consciousness through the integration of body, mind, and spirit. She sees our "God-nature" as living in and through our human bodies. When we awaken from unconscious to fully conscious living, we are naturally aligned with our God-nature and thus bring into manifestation a new earth.
About Kim Eng
Born in Vancouver, Canada, Kim's spiritual search began in the early 1980s. She met Eckhart in 1998, and soon after, went through a transformational spiritual experience while attending one of his retreats. This was followed by seven years of intense spiritual training and unfoldment, after which she began counseling and showing others how to discover their own inner teacher and healer.
As a counselor and
In our world, where yang energy (masculine, active, outer) predominates, Kim's Presence Through Movement practice brings us back into ourselves, by cultivating our yin side (feminine, accepting, inner). She says, "You can only find yourself within." Her practice can help you regain a balance between yin and yang, realize who you are at the core of your being and so blossom into your life's purpose, which is the awakening of consciousness.
Kim Eng facilitates workshops and retreats that draw from her Presence through Movement series. Her work translates the teachings found in The Power of Now and A New Earth into a structured practice used to cultivate Presence. She uses real life examples of bringing awareness into everyday life. Her retreats and workshops have taken place all over North America, Europe, and Australia.
Testimonial Quote
- "Kim brings a down-to-earth approach to spirituality that I find very refreshing. She has a great ability for bringing people back into the present moment, the place where all healing occurs and no problem can survive. My blessings go with her and all the people she touches."
- Eckhart Tolle
- "... I have read and heard the words before in Eckhart's books and CD´s and I understood it in my mind. But since I attended your talk I KNOW and FEEL
what it means... All of a sudden I have deep knowledge and awareness of truth and I feel a deep calmness, ease and peace from inside!"
- Christine, from Hamburg
- "I attended your workshop...For a number of reasons it changed my life - giving me hope and strength. You are the only teacher that has facilitated a safe class for me (besides myself in the last 20 years) and you did it much better!!! .... I knew I had to come to your class. It was truly wonderful. I was able to experience a level of cardio, strength, and flow that I have not felt for certainly 9 years. What a gift. Thank you. There are no words that capture the deep beauty from the knowing of "yes – this is the full practice I have yearned for." What I have been doing up to this point would be the equivalent of perhaps a quarter of your class..."

The Nexus 2 7″ may sell for as little as $229 with a July 31 retail launch date, but you can have the original Nexus 7 for free this week!
"How?" you ask. Well, we're making it nice and simple. All you have to do is tell us, in the comments, why you need a Nexus 7 in your life. What will you do with it? How will it make your life better? The top five commenters (that's right, we've got five Nexus 7 tablets to give away!) will each win a device.
For this contest, only commenters with an And Me account will be eligible to win. If you don't have one already, sign up now. It's free and easy. This contest will be open to continental US residents only. Sorry international buddies, but the logistics of expanding our giveaways to overseas audiences are impractical.
Remember, you can embed images and gifs (that's with a hard "g") in our comments section. So, be as creative as you can with your post. Then vote for your favorite. You have until Tuesday, July 23 at 11:59 PM EST to earn votes. At that time, we will tabulate and begin contacting the winners. Happy commenting!
Man, y'all are some negative Nancies.
Fortunately, we at Android And Me are experienced in the ways of the number line and are able to rank negative integers from least to greatest.
Unfortunately, the innane downvoting seems to put newer comments at an advantage. However, there is nothing stopping entrants from leaving more than one comment, although, only one tablet will be awarded to each individual. (i.e. You cannot win more than one tablet).
Needless to say, we will stick with random drawings in the future. We just wanted to give you all something a little more fun and interactive than that.
To anyone off-put by the fact that we require you have an account to win: We are very grateful to have such an amazing community on our site. It shouldn't be too much to ask that you officially join that community in order to participate in community events. Plus, without verified contact information, how can we get in touch with you if you win? ;)
Everyone, please remember that this is just a friendly contest. Be nice! The NSA is watching you.
Update 2.0:
The contest is now over. Thanks to everyone who played and stayed positive throughout. We have begun contacting the winners. Check your inboxes!

I'm a failure. Yesterday was James Patrick Kelly's birthday, and I failed to note it. What kind of friend am I? You should all give up on me now -- I've known the man for something like 20 years, and I forget his birthday.
It's Beckett's fault. I've been so fixated on the countdown to Beckett's 100th birthday that I have ignored my friends, let all the details of my life fall apart, and sequestered myself in a small room to wait for the end of the world.
So today we'll mix our daily Beckett link with a Kelly link. (No, not that Kelly Link, much as I like her. And she knows Jim Kelly, too, and probably remembered his birthday. For all I know, she knew Beckett.)
Happy birthday tomorrow to Samuel Beckett -- here's Beckett's late (1988), short prose piece "Stirrings Still".
Happy birthday yesterday to Jim Kelly -- here's "The Propagation of Light in a Vacuum", one of my favorite of his stories.
And just for fun -- J. Michael Straczynski's City of Dreams Episode 7: Samuel Beckett, Your Ride is Here, featuring John Turturro and Bill Irwin. (Irwin, by the way, is no stranger to Beckett performances.)

Information For
According to input from both the Office of the Registrar and the Student Affairs Office, the diplomas for advanced degrees (i.e., master's degrees and beyond) at Thomas Jefferson University are so large, that graduate's often contact them in search of the safest method in which they can shrink down their diploma — most often due to the request from a new employer.
The most reliable method we have discovered is to use a machine called a "Wide Format Scan System" that may be found at any FedEx Kinkos Store. Please go to their Web site to find a store near you.
Please remember that although your current employer may not have asked for a copy of your diploma, another employer in the future may ask for it, so it is best to go through the process before the diploma is framed.

LONDON — In 2011, Novak Djokovic figured out the grass at Wimbledon and found himself holding the trophy at the All England Club for the first time.
This year, by his own estimate, "I'm actually playing better tennis on grass than I played two years ago."
The top-seeded Djokovic defeated No. 13 Tommy Haas 6-1, 6-4, 7-6 (4) on Monday (Tuesday, Manila time) to advance to his 17th straight Grand Slam quarterfinal. He still hasn't lost a set in the tournament.
"I feel good about myself in this moment," Djokovic said. "I'm No. 1 in the world. I have no reason to be concerned about my game."
Despite falling behind a break in the second set, then enduring a few tense moments in the third, the Serb was never really in trouble as he moved a step closer to his seventh Grand Slam title.
In the second set, he got broken to fall behind 3-2, then lost one more game before winning the final four to close it out.
In the third set, he failed to serve out the match at 5-3 and wasted a match point in the next game before closing out the tiebreaker with a forehand winner on his fourth match point. He has yet to drop a set in this tournament.
"It was a great match from my side," Djokovic said. "Minor setback in the third set. I allowed him an opportunity to come back to the match. But a great tiebreak and I'm really glad to finish in three."
On Wednesday, Djokovic faces No. 7 Tomas Berdych, who reached his first Wimbledon quarterfinal since he was the runner-up in 2010 by beating Bernard Tomic 7-6 (4), 6-7 (5), 6-4, 6-4.
Djokovic's quarterfinal streak is the longest active streak and third longest in the Open era behind Roger Federer's 36 and Jimmy Connors' 27 straight appearances in the final eight. Federer's streak ended when he was upset in the second round last week.
Federer's loss, combined with Rafael Nadal's first-round departure and a number of other upsets, created a wide-open feel on the side opposite Djokovic's in the draw. No. 2 Andy Murray is the only player on that side left among the top 20 seeds.
But on Djokovic's side, all four players seeded to be in the quarterfinals have made it: The winner of Djokovic-Berdych will play the winner of the quarterfinal between No. 4 David Ferrer and No. 8 Juan Martin del Potro, the 2009 U.S. Open champion.
Struggling with a sore big toe, Ferrer beat Ivan Dodig, 6-7 (3), 7-6 (6), 6-1, 6-1, while del Potro overcame a painful left knee, which he hyperextended on Saturday, to top 23rd-seeded Andreas Seppi, 6-4, 7-6 (2), 6-3.
"I think in these kind of matches, in quarterfinals, all the players feel something," del Potro said.
If Djokovic is feeling anything, it isn't showing. He said his history against Haas — he was 0-2 against the German on grass — made him a little nervous coming into the match.
"I just wanted to kind of focus on my game and what I want to do," Djokovic said. "I started extremely well. That was obviously helping me to feel confident on the court."

Because I felt like leaving behind the feeling of disappointment brought on by knitting a sweater with armholes that are too small, I knit the Knit One, Purl Too birthday boy (aka my husband) a hat, at his request.
"Please make me a Moby Dick hat" was all he needed to say, but he also pointed out that he was a fan of Patons Classic Wool. And like a shot, I was off to Joann's for supplies. One week later, thanks to the cleverness of Elinor Brown's Pod of Cetaceans pattern, I had a hat, with one white whale. [Before you think I am too clever for hacking together a hat, I just want to say for the record that it took me a few extra minutes while knitting this to realize that I was not going to need to duplicate-stitch the white whale – I could just alter the pattern. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, if you know what I mean. -ed.]
There are a few construction details here on Ravelry; the most significant thing I noticed was that my colorwork tension was even enough that I was able to knit the entire body of the hat on the same size needle – no need to go up a size for the pod of cetaceans. I officially love colorwork, so be ready to see more of that coming your way this year.
I also finished my first lace shawl ever, Multnomah. Note that about this time last year, I said that my first lace shawl was going to be the Flower Basket Shawl, and that has languished at the end of chart A. As a member of the 12 in 2011 group on Ravelry, I committed to making 12 projects this year, and the Flower Basket is one of them. I looked at Multnomah as a way to a. prove to myself I could complete a simple lace shawl and b. get some of the most misbegotten sock yarn I have out of my stash. That Koigu was meant to be part of the Latifa scarf from Knitty [alert: Garnstudio Silke-Tweed is discontinued! – ed.], but I made entrelac socks that didn't quite fit instead, and then I made half of a Baby Surprise Jacket with it.
We were both a little worse for wear after several years, but Koigu P106 and I had one last adventure together – these mighty skeins totally redeemed themselves, and I seriously enjoyed Feather and Fan more than I ever thought I could. I seem to start each year secretly worried that I'll never finish another knitted object. Some garter stitch and nine lace repeats later, I'm happy to be wrong and I feel ready for 2011. P.S. I was so excited to pin it out that it wasn't until later I realized that I had blocked points right into the scalloped edge of Multnomah – still loving it though.

'Twas the night before Thanksgiving, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring—because they were all out at a bar, getting drunk.
That's the story of Thanksgiving Eve, more commonly known as Black Wednesday.
Maybe it's the impending four-day weekend, the influx of out-of-town friends or just the desire to kick off the holiday season with a big, boozy bang, but Nov. 21 is one of the biggest going-out nights of the year. Whether you're looking to throw down—or avoid throwing up like last year—we've put together three party plans to help you do this unofficial drinking holiday justice.

A UW-Green Bay Education
'Connecting learning to life'
The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay has used the phrase "Connecting learning to life" to capture the essence of a UW-Green Bay education:
- Students are expected to make connections across different areas of study and examine issues from multiple perspectives.
- Students connect with real-world issues through research, team projects, public service and internships.
- The University connects to the community and serves the region.
Valuable Skills
UW-Green Bay targets development of characteristics that many civic and business leaders say are associated with effective individuals.
These characteristics include: the capacity to analyze and delineate a clear overview of a problem; strong written and verbal communication skills; flexibility for on-the-job learning; ability to work in small, task-oriented teams; technological competence and information literacy; and ability to work with individuals from diverse cultures.
The University's emphasis on "Connecting learning to life" and adherence to the liberal arts tradition promotes development of these skills.
A Major Advantage
While students elsewhere may devote themselves to a single, narrow field, there is an expectation that every student at UW-Green Bay will enjoy learning experiences that challenge him or her to integrate ideas from different fields.
The UW-Green Bay approach is notable for its extensive array of "interdisciplinary" majors. These majors apply knowledge from several disciplines (academic fields) to a broad topic. An Environmental Science student, for example, will apply biology, chemistry, mathematics, botany and other disciplines to the larger study of environmental issues. Other examples include the majors in Human Development, Business Administration, and Democracy and Justice Studies.
Students can pursue more intensive coursework in a particular topic of interest (their "area of emphasis" within the major), but this specialization is balanced by the fact every student completes either an interdisciplinary major, or a disciplinary major coupled with an interdisciplinary minor.
The Strength Of Multiple Perspectives
The value of this approach is evident when one considers that today's students prepare for a first job but also for careers that do not yet exist, and for societal challenges not yet known. Identity theft, viral epidemics and global sustainability are examples of issues not easily addressed by relying solely on yesterday's answers or narrow specialization.
Regional Connections
Students, faculty and staff connect learning to life, every day, through research, internships, paid employment and volunteer involvement in the community.
Long known as a manufacturing, papermaking and food-processing center and the home of the Packers, Green Bay has experienced growth in the healthcare, insurance and tourism sectors of its economy. While the metropolitan population is about 250,000, the city serves as the trade, transportation and cultural heart of an increasingly diverse region of nearly one million residents extending across much of northern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Green Bay is home to a developing retail/entertainment district and excellent museums, parks, theaters and sports-related facilities. It is the gateway to favorite vacation destination in the scenic Door Peninsula and Wisconsin's northern forests.

The other evening I was sat staring at a blank wall as you do when I decided to take a look at whatever Virgin had randomly recorded for me when lo and behold I just happened to stumble across Gary Numan: Android In La La Land. Over the next hour it slowly dawned on me that wait a minute, I think I'm a huge fan of The Numan as clips from songs he'd worked on over the last decade were intercut with the interviews and him genuinely coming across like a top bloke who struggles with his own fame.
One thing I will always remember concerning Gary aside from the single fact I always had a deep passion for the great sound of Cars is that Depeche Mode often cited him as one of their main influences and in turn Hurts listed DM as one of their own. As I love DM and Hurts my obvious next step was to head straight to Spotify and slap on a random album.
What I discovered was firstly Splinter (Songs from a broken Mind) the very first song that started playing was "Here in the Black" and I must confess I was pretty much hooked from then on in. Not only does Gary have a stellar voice but the arrangements on his songs are the kind that make you want to nod your head like a fucking loon as each track plays out. The closest I can think of to a sound that made me feel what this first album experience has is perhaps strangle enough A Perfect Circle's very own Mer De Noms. Ok so Gary may not be a Maynard but he still has a great sound to his voice no doubts there. Title track "Splinter" was next and again the infuse of both Gary's vocals and a pounding backing track gel so well together - some excellent lyrics too.
Song arrangements are great in each and every song so far with some amazing sounding hooks that especially come across well on a decent pair of headphones in lovely 7.1 sound. So yeah it's been a long time since I "discovered" a new sound I was genuinely drawn to and couldn't wait to instantly digest more of and the obvious irony is that both his sound and his works have been around for decades and I've only just now discovered them.
Guess I'm back off to La La Land then.

GAO finds wireless customers benefit despite few carriers
By Larissa Anderson // Posted: 08/26/10 05:00 PM
A new report from the Government Accountability Office confirms there's not much competition among wireless service providers. Nonetheless, wireless customers are getting lower prices and better coverage than they were 10 years ago.

Net Neutrality: What Are We Fighting For?
Posted: 08/18/10 06:30 AM
Net Neutrality is a complicated issue. The recent Google/Verizon policy proposal has raised new questions about the open internet - the idea that all online content gets treated equally. To explore this issue, we're featuring a series of guest blog posts on our site. Today, a post from Larry Downes, a nonresident Fellow at the Stanford Law School Center for Internet & Society. His books include "Unleashing the Killer App" and, most recently, "The Laws of Disruption: Harnessing the New Forces that Govern Life and Business in the Digital Age."
As both an Internet entrepreneur and a legal scholar, I've been watching and sometimes participating in the "net neutrality" debate for several years now. At times it's seemed like real progress was being made, but lately I've grown concerned about the prospects for a peaceful resolution. It seems that some of the participants in what has been transformed into an honest-to-goodness fight over public policy have more to gain from aggravating the situation than in solving the problem. I can't predict what's going to happen next. Technology and business are rational subjects—politics is not.
Many of those now arguing the loudest in favor or against minimal or even drastic changes to U.S. law simply don't understand enough about law, business, or the engineering details of how the Internet works to be making much sense.
Unfortunately, uninformed opinions are being encouraged by a few media reform groups in Washington who have co-opted net neutrality. They see it as an issue they can use to get their foot in the door to pursue broader agendas.
(The broader agendas, which the groups make no secret of, include restrictions on media ownership–think of the pending Comcast-NBC Universal merger–and long-term hopes for full or partial nationalization of everything from the communications and broadcast infrastructure to the failing newspaper business.)
Reducing "net neutrality" to the kind of sound-bite screaming that so poisoned the debate on health care has many unfortunate side-effects. Not the least of these is that the chance of any real resolution of the problem gets farther rather than closer. For many of the groups advocating most vocally in "favor" of net neutrality, it is becoming clearer that they don't actually want a resolution. In pursuit of their long-term interests, they benefit much more from continued rancor.
That I think it what explains the strangely hostile response to the legislative framework proposed jointly by Google and Verizon last week. Advocates and journalists, all of whom know better, continued to characterize the proposal as if it were some kind of secret deal to carve up the Internet and its users, like the clandestine treaty between Germany and Russia at the beginning of World War II. I've seen the proposal referred to as a "deal," "agreement," "treaty," "accord," "pact," "contract" or worse. It's not a business arrangement, it's not law, and it's not treason.
To understand why and why there's such a strongly-vested interest in mischaracterizing pretty much everything said by anyone on the other side of the debate, let's step back for a moment and ask how we got into this mess in the first place.
What is Net Neutrality?
For starters, it's hard to come up with a concise definition of net neutrality, largely because it's one of those terms, like "family values," that means something different to everyone who uses it. For me it's become something of a litmus test—people who use it positively are generally hostile to large communications companies. People who use it negatively are generally hostile to regulatory agencies. A lot of that anger, wherever it comes, seems to get channeled into net neutrality.
In fact the Federal Communications Commission doesn't even use the term—they talk about the "open and transparent" Internet instead.
But here's the general idea. The defining feature of the Internet is that information is broken up into small "packets" of data which are routed through any number of computers on the world-wide network and then are reassembled when they reach their destination.
Up until now, with some notable exceptions, every participating computer relays those packets without knowing what's in them or who they come from. The network operates on a packet-neutral model—when one computer receives it, it looks only to see where it's heading and sends it, depending on traffic congestion at the time, to some other computer along the way just as quickly as it can.
That's still the model on which the Internet works. The "net neutrality" concern is not with current practice, but of future problems. Increasingly, those advocating for new laws see a few dominant providers controlling the outgoing and incoming packets to and from consumers—the first and last mile.
So while the computers between my house and Google headquarters all treat my packets to Google and Google's packets back to me in a neutral fashion, there's no law that keeps Comcast (my provider) from opening those packets on their way in or on their way out and deciding to slow or speed up some or all of them.
Why would they do that? Perhaps they make a deal with Google to give priority to Google-related packets in exchange for a fee or a share of Google's ad revenues. Or, maybe they want to encourage me to watch Comcast programming instead of YouTube videos, and intentionally slow down YouTube packets to make those videos less appealing to watch.
Most of this is theoretical so far. No ISP offers the premium or "fast lane" service to individual applications. Comcast, however, was caught a few years ago experimenting with slowing down the file-sharing traffic of some of their customers who use the BitTorrent peer-to-peer protocol. The reason was that some of Comcast's most active customers were slowing down the network by sending and receiving very large files (mostly illegal copies of movies and other copyrighted content, as it turns out).
When Comcast was caught, the company agreed to stop offering "unlimited" access and to use more sophisticated network management techniques to ensure a few customers didn't slow traffic for everyone else. Comcast and BitTorrent made peace, but the FCC held hearings and sanctioned Comcast after-the-fact, leading to the court case that made clear the FCC has no authority to enforce its existing neutrality policies. (More on that in a moment.)
The Network Was Never Neutral
The revelations about Comcast revived the net neutrality debate, this time with a strongly partisan bent. Net neutrality, it was argued, was "about" free speech on the Internet, about a few large network operators destroying the innovative spirit of the net, about a secret plan to replace the Web with walled gardens of approved content. There was either complete neutrality, or there was chaos.
But the with-us-or-against-us mentality of the rhetoric that followed this shift in the discussion leaves out some important and complicated technical details.
First, some applications already require and get "premium" treatment for their packets. Voice and video packets have to arrive pretty much at the same time in order to maintain good quality, so Voice over IP telephone calls (Skype, Vonage, Comcast digital voice) get priority treatment, as do cable programming packets, which, after all, are using the same connection to your home that the data uses.
Google, as one of the largest providers of outbound packets, has deals with some ISPs to locate Google-only servers in their hubs to ensure local copies of their web pages are always close by, a service called "caching" that is offered more generally by companies such as Akamai and LimeLight. In that sense, technology is being used to give priority even to the most requested data packets, about which no one should complain.
When Should the Federal Government Step in?
So the net neutrality fight, aside from leaving out any real appreciation either for technological or business realities, is really a fight about the future. As cable and telephone companies invest billions in the next generation of technology—including fiber optics and next-generation cellular services–application providers fear they will be asked to shoulder more of the costs of that investment through premium service fees.
That's possible, of course, and it's also possible that network operators will make business decisions that, in the long-term, will do great damage to the remarkable engine of innovation that the Internet has proven to be for the last decade. If the market really does fail, or fails in significant local ways (rural or poor customers, for example, have no or little access to broadband Internet), then some kind of regulatory intervention might make sense.
But history has shown that it's a bad idea to regulate ahead of a market failure, especially when dealing with technology that is evolving rapidly. In the last ten years, the Internet has proven to be a source of tremendous embarrassment for regulators trying to "fix" problems that shift under their feet even as they're legislating. Often the laws are meaningless by the time the ink is dry or—worse—inadvertently make the problems worse after the fact.
Nevertheless, in October of last year the FCC proposed—in a 107-page document—six net neutrality rules that would codify the principles described above and a number of peripheral, perhaps unrelated, ideas. Implicit in that rulemaking was the assumption that someone needed to codify these principles, that the FCC was that someone, and that the agency had the authority from Congress to be that someone.
There are good reasons to be skeptical that the FCC in particular is the right agency to solve this problem even if it is a problem. Through most of its existence the agency has been fixed on regulating a legal monopoly—the old phone company—and on managing what were very limited broadcast spectrum—now largely supplanted by cable and more sophisticated technologies for managing the spectrum.
The FCC, recall, is the agency that watches broadcast (but not cable) television and issues fines for indecent content—an activity they do more, rather than less, even as broadcast becomes a trivial part of programming reception. (An on-going challenge to how the FCC enforces broadcast decency rules is headed back to the U.S. Supreme Court soon.) Congress has three times tried to give the FCC authority to regulate indecency on the Internet as well, but the U.S. Supreme Court has stopped all three.
But in April, as I noted, a federal court of appeals in D.C. ruled that the agency did not have the legal authority to enforce its existing net neutrality guidelines, which have been in place since 2005, regardless of their merits. That decision also threw the proposed six rules into limbo. Why? The FCC based its jurisdiction to issue them on the same legal theory the court rejected in its effort to enforce the earlier neutrality policy statement against Comcast.
So now the agency is pursuing a second avenue, which is to change the classification of broadband Internet access in a way that would give it all the authority it needs (and then some) to go ahead with the October rulemaking.
A better solution, for many reasons, would have been to go back to Congress for specific authority over broadband, but the agency is feeling political pressure to move quickly on net neutrality, and so is pursuing what everyone understands is a procedure that stands on very shaky legal grounds, at best. (Net neutrality means full employment for communications lawyers in Washington for a long time to come.)
Back to the Google-Verizon Proposal
Here's where last week's proposal from Google and Verizon fits in. Network operators, content providers, and responsible consumer groups have come to recognize, as has the FCC itself, that the net neutrality policy fight has gotten out of hand. Almost no one likes the way the FCC is trying to plug the holes in its legal dam which are appearing faster all the time. Investors are unhappy, content providers are distracted, and the FCC's more productive efforts, including the truly visionary National Broadband Plan issued and then forgotten back in March, are foundering.
So FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski sensibly asked his chief of staff to try to get all the parties together and figure out some way out of the legal logjam. That shouldn't have been hard, because almost everyone agrees on the basic principles of net neutrality—and has operated accordingly all along. And, it seems, the meetings were going well, or as well as these things can go in Washington in the middle of a hot summer.
One positive side-effect of the meetings was that Google and Verizon discovered they had more common ground than they thought. (The two companies have been working closely for some time–Verizon's cellular network now handles smartphones that use Google's Android operating system.) The companies had earlier written a joint letter to the FCC, and jointly filed comments in the net neutrality rulemaking. Those documents all indicated that Verizon was prepared to accept a larger FCC role in ensuring the continued success of the net neutrality model, a significant concession.
So to those of us who have been following the maneuverings for a while, the proposal released by Google and Verizon was no surprise. With one exception, it followed nearly exactly the earlier statements the companies had made together.
It also followed closely what the FCC has been proposing since October, 2009. Most of all, it proposed nearly-identical rules to the six the FCC announced.
The rules proposed by Google and Verizon include the kinds of exceptions necessary for voice, video, and new services that are already in place. The FCC proposed the same exceptions.
The Google-Verizon proposal excuses network operators from applying neutrality to unlawful content—including spam, viruses, and illegal fire sharing—just as the FCC proposal does. It recognized the need fast-changing networks and new innovations in technology and user behavior create for "reasonable network management" and private "managed services," just as the FCC's proposal does.
And the Google-Verizon proposal called for Congress to make the neutrality rules a matter of federal law, enforceable on a case-by-case complaint basis by the FCC—precisely what the FCC said.
What was most disappointing about last week's response to the Google-Verizon framework was the thick layer of hypocrisy and cynicism that came with it. Much of the invective launched against the proposal criticized features of the Google-Verizon framework that were identical to aspects of the FCC proposal.
Many of those doing the loudest complaining are those who most ardently supported the same rules when the FCC proposed them.
That's what happens when a technology problem gets perverted into a political problem. And it's why so little progress is being made.
I mentioned that there was one important difference between the Google-Verizon proposal and the FCC's. That has to do with wireless broadband. The FCC, albeit reluctantly, proposed in October that it would apply the six neutrality rules to wireless just as it would to wired broadband. Google initially agreed, but now takes the same position as Verizon and other cellular operators, which is that the rules should not apply—at least not for now.
Why the distinction? As anyone with a smartphone knows, wireless broadband access is seriously constrained by overburdened cellular networks. Even at its best, the capacity of the wireless Internet is a tiny fraction of what can be delivered over cable or fiber, but its users want to do the same kind of high-bandwidth activities on the road as they do at home. Watching high-definition videos or sharing large files on the wireless Internet is not just technically possible right now.
There are ways to increase the speed and reliability of cellular networks, but they require a combination of new technologies, additional spectrum allocation, and the cooperation of local communities, many of whom resist the installation of additional towers and other infrastructure.
So for now a growing consensus of Internet service and content providers acknowledge that wireless network operators need flexibility. Some applications will indeed be blocked.
This kind of network management is not "evil." It's simply a technical necessity. It doesn't make sense to ban it, or even to put a slow-moving federal bureaucracy in charge of deciding how to implement it.
But that, at least, is a conversation that reasonable people could have. Unfortunately there aren't many of them around these days.

Net Neutrality news roundup
By Larissa Anderson // Posted: 08/17/10 02:52 PM
The evolving conversation about net neutrality in wake of the Google/verizon policy proposal now includes a letter to the FCC from four Democrats in Congress. In their letter dated August 16th(PDF), Edward Markey (D-Mass.), Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.), Jay Inslee (D-Wash.) and Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) urge the FCC to take formal action and consider four items:
1. The FCC must have oversight authority for broadband access services.
2. Paid prioritization would close the open Internet.
3. Wired and wireless services should have common regulatory framework and rules.
4. Broad "managed services" exceptions would swallow open Internet rules.
This week, Commissioners Michael Copps and Mignon Clyburn will be in Minneapolis, Minnesota this week to hear from the public about this issue.
Online, the debate continues. We've been covering the story - you can hear from Google and Verizon here and we've explored what this proposal means for us as we watch YouTube videos and search for things online.
We're also featuring a number of guest blog posts on the issue - the first one we've posted is from David Weinberger of Harvard's Berkman Center for the Internet and Society.
Jonathan Zittrain, Professor of Law at Harvard Law School and the Kennedy School of Government, Professor of Computer Science at Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and co-founder of the Berkman Center, has a substantial breakdown of the issue on his Future of the Internet blog.
Tomorrow, we'll feature a post from Larry Downes, currently a nonresident Fellow with the Stanford Law School Center for Internet & Society, and later this week, a guest blog post from Christian Sandvig, a Berkman Fellow and visiting research scholar in the Innovation Lab at MIT Sloan.

Toss out your wallet, keep your phone
Posted: 08/03/10 06:00 AM
There are a few things you always make sure you have when you leave the house: keys, wallet, phone. What if you could skip the wallet?
Imagine going to the grocery store, getting all the stuff you need, and then, when you're at the cash register and it's time to pay, you don't need to bother digging up your debit card. Instead you reach your phone, waggle it around a bit, and you're on your way.
And hey - why stop there? If your financial information can be on there, why not your driver's license too? Why not your ID card at work? Your library card?
Sounds futuristic but it may be fast approaching. Wireless carriers AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile are reportedly about to start testing a technology known as Near Field Communications or Contactless Payment in a few different cities. Everything you would need from your wallet would be on your phone.
We talk to Marc Rysman, Associate Professor of Economics at Boston University, about how the technology works. We also speak to Rachel Schneider, Innovation Director at the Center for Financial Services Innovation, about how the technology could be made even simpler, maybe just a sticker on the outside of a phone or anywhere you cared to put it.
