WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Supreme Court agreed on Monday to intervene in a dispute between a Sprint Nextel Corp subsidiary and the utilities regulator in Iowa.
Sprint Communications Co declined to pay access charges for calls carried by Iowa Telecom - now Windstream Iowa Communications - that were transmitted over the Internet rather than the traditional phone network.
The Iowa Utilities Board, which regulates telecommunications in the state, said Sprint was required to pay.
Windstream had billed Sprint for access charges for the Internet calls, known as "voice over Internet protocol" or VoIP calls.
Sprint maintains that under the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996, VoIP calls are an "information service" not a "telecommunications service" and that therefore the company does not have to pay access charges.
The legal question before the high court is whether the dispute should be handled first in Iowa state courts or in federal court
Sprint challenged the utilities board decision in federal court, saying that the question of whether the calls should be subject to compensation is a federal law issue, but there are also concurrent proceedings in state court.
A federal judge held that the state proceedings should be resolved first.
The St. Louis-based 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the ruling, saying Sprint's request that the utilities board be prevented from ordering that it pay the fees "interferes with an ongoing state judicial proceeding."
Oral arguments and a decision are expected in the court's next term, which starts in October and ends in June 2014.
The case is Sprint v. Jacobs, U.S. Supreme Court, No. 12-815.

MIAMI (AP) -- Alonzo Mourning has decided to retire rather than mount another NBA comeback at age 38.
The seven-time All-Star center said Thursday he won't return from a devastating leg injury in 2007. He's not under contract but had been working out at the Miami Heat's complex and still had a spot in the team's locker room.
Mourning hasn't played since tearing the patella tendon and quadriceps muscle in his right leg on Dec. 19, 2007, the fourth anniversary of his lifesaving kidney transplant. He said he feared another return would put his health in jeopardy.
"I truly feel it's best that I retire," Mourning said at a news conference. "When you've got something you love and you're passionate about, it's hard to let that go. But at 38 I feel I've physically done all I can for this game. It has been an amazing ride."
Mourning, who turns 39 next month, played at Georgetown and was the second overall pick in the 1992 draft by the Charlotte Hornets. He also played for New Jersey but spent the majority of his career with the Heat, helping them reach the playoffs six consecutive years. He was the backup center to Shaquille O'Neal when Miami won the NBA title in 2006.
At age 30, Mourning was diagnosed in October 2000 with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, a career-threatening kidney disease. He missed most of the ensuing season but rejoined the Heat in March 2001 and made the All-Star team the following year.
When his condition worsened, he missed the entire 2002-03 season and underwent a transplant in 2003. Again he returned, but for three consecutive summers beginning in 2005, Mourning considered retirement before choosing to keep playing.
"It's not a sad day, but it's a day to celebrate," Mourning said. "I can think of a million people right now that would have loved to walk the path I've walked. The ups and the downs made it even more joyous."
In 15 seasons, Mourning averaged 17.1 points and 8.5 rebounds and twice was chosen NBA defensive player of the year. He averaged 6.0 points and 3.7 rebounds in 25 games last season for the Heat.
Mourning has long supported charitable causes in Miami and campaigned for better education. He attended President Barack Obama's inauguration on Tuesday.

By Rachelle Younglai and Alister Bull
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The death knell for Lawrence Summers' candidacy to lead the Federal Reserve came on Friday morning with a shock phone call message left for President Barack Obama's chief of staff, Denis McDonough.
The message was from Democratic Senator Jeff Merkley, a member of the Senate Banking Committee from Oregon and a vocal critic of the prospects of a Summers nomination for the central bank's chairmanship.
Merkley told the White House that there were now five Democrats on the committee, which would have to clear the nomination before a final Senate vote, who would oppose Summers, a former Treasury secretary under President Bill Clinton and a close confidante of Obama's.
Up until Friday, only two - Merkley and Senator Sherrod Brown from Ohio - had publicly signaled how they would vote.
But fierce Wall Street critic Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts had privately told the White House she was uncomfortable with the prospective nomination and, according to a Senate aide, Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota also had concerns.
The surprise on Friday was not only the number of senators deciding to vote no but that one of them was centrist Democrat Jon Tester of Montana, whose opposition showed that concerns about the former Treasury secretary were not confined to the liberal wing of the party.
"Four seemed insurmountable. Five was just game over," said a Senate aide.
After Merkley called the White House, an Obama administration official called Tester, Tester's spokeswoman said. But the early afternoon phone call was too late to change his mind.
The five "no votes" on the committee posed a potentially unassailable obstacle for Summers. Democrats only have a two-vote majority on the panel and at least three Republicans were also expected to vote against Summers.
Summers dropped out of consideration for the top Fed job on Sunday, writing to Obama that any confirmation process would likely be acrimonious. People familiar with the situation said on Monday that Federal Reserve Vice Chair Janet Yellen had become the frontrunner now that Summers has withdrawn.
Some critics of the administration's strategy for the Summers nomination say that the White House has itself to blame for allowing opposition to fester.
The White House did little to ease Senators' concerns about Summers, who many accuse of sowing the seeds of the recent financial crisis by refusing to regulate derivatives and easing restrictions on banks when he was Treasury chief from 1999 to 2001.
After 20 of 54 members of the Democratic caucus in the Senate sent Obama a letter in July urging him to nominate Yellen to lead the central bank, there was little to no communication between the White House and members of the Banking Committee, Senate aides said.
One congressional aide said: "You would assume the (Capitol) Hill charm campaign would take place." But it never did.
"At the beginning, the White House was not taking (the opposition) all that seriously," said a Democratic Senate aide. "We tried to make sure that they knew it was real. We were always urging them to take it seriously," the aide said.
In a series of calls between aides to Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and the White House over the August break, Reid's office stressed the "magnitude of difficulty" that would come with getting Summers confirmed, a Senate aide said.
The message to the White House was: "What we need going into the fall is Democratic unity. We made it clear (a Summers nomination) would be harmful to the cause of Democratic unity."

JavaScript Library for MARC records
OpenOPAC for ISIS/WXIS
Nicolas wrote to oss4lib-discuss: "On behalf of the Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (FCEN-UBA), and the Biblioteca Central "Dr. Luis F. Leloir" of FCEN-UBA (Central Library), we are pleased to announce the distribution of "OpenOPAC", our OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog), as a free software, with open source under LGPL (GNU Lesser General Public License). It has been a couple of years now that we have been developing our OPAC on WXIS (also know as WWWIsis, though note that WXIS is not open source), and it has reached some level of "evolution"; meanwhile, the idea has grown in us that it is a good thing to tend towards the open source concept, among other reasons, as a way of cooperation between coutries/institutions/peoples with few resources. That is why, very humbly, yet with some pride, we want to announce that we have made ready a set of IsisScripts combined with HTML and JavaScript for a Web-based OPAC (using WXIS). Showing some lack of imagination, we have called it "OpenOPAC", but we are open to better ideas. This development is far from perfect, but it is a starting point from which we might generate the critical mass necessary to do things in this direction (ISIS/WXIS + open source). It is also a call to collaborate, for those interested in making a better code. If you want a copy of OpenOPAC, please send an email asking for it, including the name of the Institution you work at, to email@example.com."

Welcome to the forum!
We're all here for the same reason: we love the Japanese language. Some of us speak it very well, and some of us are just starting out.
To make life easier for everyone, I'd like to proffer a few suggestions.
While the soul of any forum such as this is exchanges of ideas, some ideas have already come up a hundred times. If you want to ask a question -- especially if you are new -- check the FAQ and do a search first to see if it has come up and been answered already.
Second, remember that context is important. If I ask "what does 'bat' mean?" and give no context for the question, there's no indication whether I don't know what the baseball stick is called, what that flying mouse is called, or even if I'm asking about the verb in the sentence "I'm going to bat it about for a while." Japanese works the same way. We need whole sentences, and situational context.
Also, remember that things don't literally translate. Depending on the situation, the "meaning" and the implications behind even a simple expression can be radically different. Think of the modern (slang) usage of "bad" or "sick" in English.
If we keep those things in mind, it'll be easier to understand and answer questions.

The National Security Agency did not commit the thousands of invasions of privacy and other crimes against Americans and citizens of foreign countries. A group of people, participating in a massive criminal conspiracy, knowingly broke the law.
Here's a "to do" list for the Obama administration:
�Direct the attorney general to issue indictments against all NSA management level employees who participated in, or had knowledge of, these crimes.
� Have similar indictments issued for all management level employees of contractors and subcontractors who participated in these criminal activities.
� Terminate all NSA employees who participated in, or had knowledge of, these crimes and ban them for life from federal employment.
� Cancel all contracts with NSA contractor and subcontractor firms that were part of this conspiracy and ban those firms from future bidding on federal contracts.
� Send a real nice thank-you note, along with a full presidential pardon, to Edward Snowden, the guy who blew the whistle on this operation.
The people who broke the law and thumbed their noses at the Constitution must be held accountable for their actions. The excuse "I was only following orders" didn't work in the late 1940s, and it won't work now!

There are frequent advisories on phone scams to obtain money. They usually suggest reporting calls to some number or agency.
Unfortunately, this is a useless. If money has been sent, there is no chance you will recover it and almost no chance that there will be an investigation.
If you wisely do not send money but instead attempt to take actions that identify the caller so that they may be caught in the act, no one will take any action or even a report, as you have not experienced a loss.
We received a grandson-in-jail scam call and obtained sufficient information to trap the caller, but the phone company, Western Union and law enforcement would take no action, as we had suffered no loss.

Days have gone by and not a word from the White House concerning the murder of Christopher Lane, that young athlete from Melbourne, who was buried last week.
I would have hoped for some kind of a reply from President Barack Obama along with comments from the Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. But there was nothing.
There were two blacks and one white in their teens who are accused of slaying a man because they were bored and had nothing else to do.
Little as far as the media goes also, however the Martin-Zimmerman case made national headlines for weeks with the help of Obama, Sharpton and Jackson. Does this sound like the government controlling the media?

Joan Collins, the 80-year-old "Dynasty" star, reportedly asked to be removed from Shirley Jones' tell-all autobiography in a scene involving the offer of an orgy.
Jones recently published "Shirley Jones: A Memoir." In the book, the "Partridge Family" actress and Oscar-winner depicts a scene in which the young actresses and their then-husbands, Jack Cassidy and Anthony Newley, had dinner at Collins and Newley's Beverly Hills home in the late '60s.
In the book, Jones writes that Collins, "who was wearing a low-cut something or other, seemed like an interesting woman."
The book claims that dinner ended with an indecent proposal, and, according to Jones, "it was clear what Tony was leading up to -- swinging."
Collins claims the story is completely false, according to TMZ, which says the actress sent a cease and desist letter to Jones and her publisher, Simon & Schuster, demanding the passage be excised.
"We all make mistakes," Collins told TMZ, "I've made a few myself, but not with Mrs. Jones. I'm a serial monogamist."
After an initial standoff, Jones and Simon & Schuster reportedly agreed to remove Collins' name from the book, according to TMZ, which says this retraction will go into effect immediately in e-book copies, and in future reprints of the memoir.
Asked for confirmation, a publisher's representative responded, "No comment."

With so many titles to choose from, Netflix Instant's library can be overwhelming. And so we offer this bi-weekly column as a tool to cut through the clutter by highlighting some now streaming titles that pair nicely with the latest theatrical releases.
This week, in honor of Looper, Pitch Perfect and V/H/S we've selected a trio of time travel tales, competition-fueled comedies and found footage frighteners for your home-viewing pleasure.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as a hitman whose forte is mob targets sent to him from the future. But when his future self (Bruce Willis) shows up for execution, things get complicated. Emily Blunt co-stars; Rian Johnson writes and directs.
Inspired by Looper Katey and I recently discussed the allure of memorable time travel offerings as 12 Monkeys and The Terminator both of which were recent picks in this column. But if you can't get enough of this slippery subgenre, there's lots more in store, including a classic comedy, a mind-bending mystery, and the beloved Doctor.
Groundhog Day (1993) Bill Murray stars as a cantankerous weatherman who can't wait to get out Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania after its annual Groundhog Day celebration. But a mysterious wrinkle in time and space lands him in a loop that forces him to repeat the day over and over until he can learn to make it count. Andie MacDowell and Chris Elliott co-star; Harold Ramis directs.
Timecrimes (2007) The less you know about this twisted thriller, the better for your enjoyment. Suffice to say this Spanish feature centers on one man's troubled traversing of time, and with its brisk pacing, dangerous atmosphere and rabbit hole of narrative, it drew plenty of critical praise including the Next Wave Award at Fantastic Fest. Karra Elejalde stars; Nacho Vigalondo directs.
Doctor Who (2005) You can't talk time travel without mentioning the good doctor, a humanoid alien who has traversed time and space in varying forms since the 1960s. After more than 30 years on British television, the original series took its final bow, only to be resurrected in 2005 with Christopher Eccleston becoming the ninth doctor, tasked with battling villainous extraterrestrial foes with the help of his dedicated companions. Netflix is now streaming seasons 1-6 of the reboot; David Tennant (pictured), then Matt Smith later star at the titular time traveler.

GARY, Ind. (AP) — The Gary-Chicago International Airport is getting a $30 million boost toward its plans to lengthen its main runway so that it can handle larger planes.
The Gary airport board voted Wednesday to approve a grant agreement with the Northwest Indiana Regional Development Authority. Officials say that grant had been on hold while the development authority reviewed the financing for the $160 million project.
The Times and the Post-Tribune report the airport expansion plan calls for extending the 7,000-foot runway to 8,900 feet, which requires moving some nearby railroad lines. Railroad relocations and runway preparations have been going on, with the project expected to be complete by late 2013.

elcome to SpyroHints.com!
SpyroHints.com is the Web's #1 hint site for the Spyro the Dragon Playstation 1 videogame series! The questions and answers were originally all fan-submitted and later revised and expanded by the SpyroHints.com staff. Whatever problem has you stumped in the Dragon Worlds, never fear: Someone else has run into the same thing before and this site has the answer!
Some sad news: After many long great years as part of the Spyro fan community (which we're proud to say that we helped to create), this site is going to be more or less retired.

With the summer of 2013 now well behind us, harvests are in full swing through much of the United States. Farmers are busy filling their barns with the bounty of a hard summer's work.
For investors, however, it's a different story. Many traders who have picked up a newspaper in the past 12 months are weary of playing the "will they/won't they" game with the Federal Reserve. Every time Bernanke blinks, the stock market jolts one way or the other. We've seen a fascinating bull run in stocks and yet investors still don't trust it. We really want to accept it, but for some of us, it just doesn't feel quite right.
Instead, you can leave the whims of the Fed behind and focus on a market whose price direction has less to do with unknown policy changes and more to do with core supply/demand fundamentals and seasonal cycles. The basic agricultural markets offer these qualities.
And none is more basic or more interesting right now than corn. For traders looking to harvest some bounty of their own this fall, they can consider a simple strategy that can profit without taking wild risks, having perfect timing or even picking outright price direction.
Banner year
Before you can understand how to make money in the corn market, you must first understand the supply/demand factors driving corn prices. These fundamentals are paramount in establishing the long-term price direction of any commodity.
The 2013 season has been a banner year for corn production in the United States. By late July, the U.S. Department of Agriculture was projecting the United States would produce 13.95 billion bushels of corn this year — the most ever.
It is true that corn farmers have increased corn acreage in response to record demand. However, available supplies are likely to outpace demand by a wide margin in the 2013-14 crop year. Ending stocks for next year are pegged at a whopping 1.959 billion bushels. This is almost double 2012 ending stocks and eclipsing this year's projected ending stocks by nearly 150% (see "Leftovers," below). Ending stocks represent the amount of the commodity left over in a given crop year (usually September) after all demand has been met. This number can cast a wide shadow over price direction throughout the year.
The reasons for this increased corn production are many. At $5 to $7 per bushel, corn is a profitable choice for farmers. As global demand gradually has pushed higher over the past several years, so have corn prices. Farmers respond by growing more corn to take advantage of the higher price brought on by demand.
The agricultural industry has more than held its own in meeting rising global demand for grains, corn in particular. The genetically modified seed industry has produced higher-yielding, and pest- and drought-resistant crops. Along with better irrigation and farming skills, this has resulted in not only higher yields but a larger growing region for corn. This is why corn is now seen growing in the former wheat fields of the Midwest and former cotton and peanut fields of the South.
Corn acreage accounted for 25% of U.S. fields in 2000. This year it was 30%. More impressive, however, is the growth in yield. In the early 1980s, an acre of corn could be expected to yield about 102 bushels per growing season. In 2013, that figure is 157 bushels.
Weather is always a possible concern, but while hot temperatures and low moisture hampered conditions in 2012, this year has been much more favorable.

Welcome Callie to the island. The female 3-year-old calico was adopted by Ann Poirier from the Potter League for Animals. We're told Callie is "very mischievous, loving and a real character."
Carol Baldwin, Cheryl Fernstrom and Elizabeth Mancini identified last week's poser as "Need You Now" by Lady Antebellum. It was named Song of the Year at the recent Grammy Awards.
Poser: She is handsome, she is pretty
She is the bell of Belfast city
She is counting one, two, three
Please won't you tell me who is she
Did you know that Captain Kidd's first mate might be buried in Jamestown? Debbie Ryng has been doing some research on island historical cemeteries. One, named the Paine Cemetery, is 250 feet east of East Shore Road at telephone pole No. 212 and has 25 burial plots. There were, however, more fieldstones at that location some 50 years ago when the area was a campground.
Three of the present markers have inscriptions from 1707 to 1806. Legend has it that Captain Kidd visited Captain Thomas Paine and that Captain Kidd's first mate is buried in the cemetery. The research revealed that some think that Captain Kidd (1654 -1701) is also buried here, but it is recorded that he was hanged for murder and piracy in London, England, on May 23, 1701.
Listen up all you islanders who own pleasure boats. The print media has come up with a new word describing you. You are now "yachters." I guess this eliminates the need to distinguish between yachtsmen and yachtswomen.
Takes me back to the days when boaters were hats.
Had enough of Charlie Sheen yet?
In 1952, one of the greatest films set in Ireland was released. It was directed by John Ford. What was the movie and who starred in it?
The tulips and crocuses are poking through. Hang in there.
But, it's still winter, and Dorothy Strang and Lyla, her 8-yearold yellow Lab, continue to walk the island byways observing and discovering new things that go unnoticed by most of us, like the flowers of frozen snow. "Amazing what you can see up in winter trees," she said. "Clutches of leaves, hanging on. Seed pods of many kinds; pointed cups on the tulip poplar, long seed pods on the locust, prickly spheres on a tree whose name I haven't learned. Those messy summer nests the squirrels make of leaves and twigs. How do they stay lodged through blizzards, so high up? An occasional bird's nest. The stumps of wind-broken branches. Sometimes a broken branch caught up amongst other limbs. An occasional flower of frozen snow, a winter magnolia! Sadly, a few plastic bags. For several days I wondered why that black flapping crow sat endlessly on a certain topmost branch, until I realized the crow was a plastic bag. It's still there, tattered by the recent storms, but refusing to let go.
"Best of all, if you look up into winter trees on these cold days you will see, on some, the buds of the coming spring. Lyla doesn't much care, but I sure do."
Beware the Ides of March.
Be true!

CENTENNIAL, Colo. – James Holmes' defense lawyers and prosecutors are arguing whether things he told police right after his arrest in the Colorado theater shootings can be used at his trial.
His lawyers are set to argue at a hearing Tuesday that what he said can't be used because police hadn't read him his Miranda rights. The Miranda advisement is the well-known warning that anything a suspect says can be used against him.
Prosecutors say what police asked Holmes before he was read his Miranda rights is legal under a public-safety exemption. They say police wanted to know if Holmes had an accomplice.
Holmes is accused of killing 12 and injuring 70 at an Aurora theater in 2012. He pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

Goat's milk Cheese
Mt. Sterling Cheese is a member owned and operated cooperative, incorporated under Wisconsin law in 1976 as the Southwestern Wisconsin Dairy Goat Products Cooperative. Over forty family-operated goat dairy farms in Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota produce milk for the cooperative. In 1983 as demand for their quality goat's milk products increased, they purchased the Mt. Sterling Cheese Factory located in Crawford County Wisconsin, where their prize-winning goat cheese is produced. Mt. Sterling's Cheddar won the Gold Medal at the American Dairy Goat Products Association contest and also took awards at the Wisconsin State Fair.
Chefs around the world have long valued goat's milk products for their delicate, rich flavor. With a long tradition of popularity in Europe and recently a growing following in the U.S., goat's milk products are expanding the world of dairy flavors for chefs and the consumer.
Additionally, goat's milk products stand unique in their dietary appeal. Dairy goat products are a wholesome source of vitamins and minerals and it's easier for your body to digest. For some individuals, cow milk sensitivity poses a real problem. Goat's milk is an alternative for those individuals and is often recommended for people with ulcers or other intestinal ailments. Some doctors suggest that it is an excellent alternative for babies and children who have cow's milk allergies.
The Mt. Sterling Cheese Co-op manufactures its prize-winning cheeses in one of the loveliest settings in the nation. The beautiful hill country of southwestern Wisconsin is often spoken of as "God's country" with a landscape of rolling wooded hills interspersed with the pastoral scene of dairy farms. Located just 5 miles from Mt. Sterling are the Gays Mills apple orchards. Hundreds of acres of apple orchards hold host to two festival weekends, the Apple Blossom Sunday (Mother's Day weekend) and the Apple Festival Weekend (the third full weekend of September). In the spring you will see acres and acres of beautiful apple blossoms and in the fall you will be treated to a colorful display of leaves throughout the rolling hills.
Two Mt. Sterling cheese varieties collected prizes at the recent World Championship Cheese Contest held in March, 2002, in Madison, Wisconsin. Thirteen expert judges from six nations gathered for the delightful task of tasting and sampling more than 1000 unique cheeses entered in the contest. The entries filled 28 separate classes and came from 17 different countries. The biennial event is the world's largest. The award was presented to the cooperative's cheesemaker, Dan Ludwig, at a special ceremony in Madison in May. Mt. Sterling's cheddar cheese garnered a bronze medal in the Aged Goat Milk Cheese class. Twenty-one other contestants sought the Best of Class Award, which was brought home by the French cheesemaker, Fromagerie Guilloteau. Mt. Sterling was the top-ranked goat cheese from America. In the Fresh Goat Milk Cheese class, Mt. Sterling also collected the bronze metal competing in a talented international field of 26 entries. The third place finish was awarded to Mt. Sterling for its pasteurized Country Jack.

Top-ranked Florida defeated No. 20 UCLA 79-68 Thursday to advance to Saturday's Elite Eight for the fourth consecutive season.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Florida is back to the point where it has been the last three seasons, one game away from the Final Four.
In a back-and-forth game, top-seed Florida saved its biggest run for last Thursday night in its 79-68 Sweet 16 win over fourth-seed UCLA before 14,991 at the FedEx Forum. Florida sophomore guard Michael Frazier II led the Gators with 19 points, but it was senior guard Scottie Wilbekin who again came through in the clutch, scoring 10 of his 13 points in the second half.
The Gators (35-2) extended their school-record winning streak to 29 games and will face 11 seed Dayton (26-10) in the Elite Eight on Saturday (6:09 p.m., TBS). Dayton knocked off Stanford 82-72 in the earlier Sweet 16 matchup.
Florida's season has ended in the Elite Eight in each of the last three seasons.
"It's just history, I guess," Florida senior forward Will Yeguete said. "When it comes to the game, you've got to play in two days. Dayton is a really good team as well because they made it to the Elite Eight, they want to get to the Final Four as well. So we've just got to keep doing what we've been doing and go for it."
There were some anxious moments when a driving basket by UCLA (28-9) guard Norman Powell cut UF's lead to 56-55 with 10 minutes remaining. Florida had led by as many as 11 points earlier in the half, but with seniors Patric Young and Casey Prather saddled on the bench with four fouls, UCLA found holes in UF's normally air-tight defense.
But Florida answered with a 10-0 run, smothering UCLA on the defensive end while coming up with some timely buckets.
"We believe in our defense," Yeguete said. "We know to win games, we've got to play defense. Down the stretch, we were able to get some rebounds and get out on the fast break. Every team is going to make runs, we just have to respond to them."
Sophomore forward Dorian Finney-Smith started the flurry with a baseline jumper, then Frazier followed with a jumper to put Florida up 60-55. On the next two trips down the floor, it was Wilbekin, who sank a 3-pointer, then followed it up with a driving three-point play to put Florida up 66-55.
UCLA cut Florida's lead to 68-63 on a Jordan Adams jumper, but Wilbekin came up with one more big basket, a bank shot over UCLA 6-foot-9 forward Travis Wear to put Florida up 70-63 with with 2:35 left.
"My shots weren't falling in the first half, even in the beginning of the second half," Wilbekin said. "So I just tried to stay the course and keep playing my game."
Prather added 12 points and Finney-Smith had 10 points off the bench. Florida also got big contributions from its bench. Freshman point guard Kasey Hill had six points and 10 assists, freshman forward Chris Walker had seven points and sophomore guard DeVon Walker came up with a big blocked shot during UF's 10-0 second-half run.
"It was a team effort at different points in time," Florida coach Billy Donovan said. "Some different guys stepped up and helped in the win."
Playing in its fourth Sweet 16 game in the past four NCAA tournaments, Florida played a little loose early, turning the ball over on three of its first seven possessions. But even with the early miscues, Florida maintained its aggressiveness to the basket, with Hill drawing guard Kyle Anderson's second foul on a reach in with 14:05 remaining in the first half.
With Anderson out, UCLA switched to a 2-3 zone. Florida took advantage by shooting over it. Frazier made his first 3-pointer of the game to tie the score at 11, then Wilbekin and Frazier followed with back-to-back 3-pointers to put Florida up 17-14. After a Wear jumper for UCLA, Frazier responded with his third straight 3-pointer, putting the Gators up 20-16.
Frazier shot 5-of-8 from 3-point range and passed Lee Humphrey (113) for the school record of most 3-pointers in a season. Frazier has made 115 3-pointers for the Gators.
Frazier came into the UCLA game just 3 of 13 from beyond the arc in his first two NCAA tournament games.
"Coach pulled me aside in the shoot-around today and just told me to shoot the ball with confidence," Frazier said. "That's all I tried to do tonight, take good ones, and they were just able to fall."
Florida extended its lead to 28-19 on a Prather turnaround jumper in the lane. But UCLA responded with a 7-0 run, cutting UF's lead to 28-26 on a driving three-point play by guard Zach Lavine. Young drew his second foul on the play and sat the final 6:11 of the half.
With Young out, Walker provided a boost for the Gators off the bench. Walker hit a turnaround bank shot in the post to extend UF's lead to 33-28. After a driving layup by UCLA freshman guard Bryce Alford cut UF's lead to 33-30, Walker grabbed a big offensive rebound and was fouled going to the hoop.
Walker made his first free-throw attempt, then grabbed the long rebound off his missed second free throw and finished in the lane to extend UF's lead to 36-30 with 1:32 left in the first half. Walker finished the first half with five points, three rebounds and a blocked shot.
Florida held UCLA scoreless the rest of the half, keeping the score 36-30 at halftime. The Gators finished the first half shooting 41.9 percent from the field. After starting the half 5 of 8 from 3-point range, the Gators finished the half missing their final five 3-point attempts.
Defensively, Florida held UCLA to 44 percent shooting in the first half and 2-6 shooting from 3-point range.
"They played very well," first-year UCLA coach Steve Alford said of the Gators. "They are an outstanding basketball team."
FREE THROWS: Florida assistant coach Rashon Burno scouted the Dayton-Stanford game. … Former Gator quarterback Tim Tebow and Alabama men's basketball coach Anthony Grant were among fans in attendance. Grant was a former assistant at UF under Donovan and is a Dayton alumnus. … Ole Miss guard Marshall Henderson also attended the game, wearing a Gator shirt … Florida improved to 4-0 all-time against the Bruins, with all four wins coming in the NCAA tournament.

You are explained the ayurveda in such a great manner. Iust now I understand the importance of ayurveda.
According to some interpretations of Indian history, Ayurveda, much like yoga, was part of a pre-Vedic tradition that was later absorbed into Hindu Dharma.
Take, for example, the rakshasas who healed Lakshman during his battle with Indrajeet; they were well-versed in the art of herbal healing.
Ayurveda is a system of medicine with historical roots in the Indian subcontinent. Globalized and modernized practices derived from Ayurveda traditions are a type of complementary or alternative medicine.

About the 2002 Catalyst Award Winners
Bayer Corporation Bayer Women: Leaders for the Global Marketplace
Bayer Corporation, the United States subsidiary of Bayer AG, has developed, in the context of continuous improvement of the business operation, an overarching approach to diversity. The goal of the initiative, Bayer Women: Leaders for the Global Marketplace, is to provide women and people of color with the critical skills necessary to advance to senior positions throughout the multi-divisional, global Bayer Group. The initiative is driven by the Bayer Diversity Advisory Council (BDAC) with five subcommittees (Communications, Education and Training, Mentorship, Recruitment/Retention, and Work/Life), each with two executive sponsors. The wide-ranging approach to preparing women for leadership positions features multiple mentoring programs, career development programs, employee networks, succession planning with executive accountability, and diversity awareness training. The Delegate Career Development Program was created to provide women with international assignments in non-traditional roles and provides extensive language and cultural training to prepare for the expatriate assignment. Nine of the 19 women who have participated since 1997 have completed their assignments and have achieved promotions ranging from two to four grade levels higher. In addition, President and Chief Executive Officer Helge H. Wehmeier regularly reviews with his direct reports employee statistics as well as action plans for employee development and diversity. As a result, in the past four years the percent of women has increased at the executive level from 2.6% to 6.7% in 2001, at the vice president level from 8.8% to 12.8% in 2001, and at the director level from 13.6% to 21.6% in 2001.
Fannie Mae Embracing Diversity to Foster Long-Term Success
Fannie Mae, the private, shareholder-owned company that provides financing for nearly one in five U.S. mortgages, has developed a broad-based approach to ensure advancement opportunities for women and people of color. Fannie Mae's unique internal/external approach ensures that its employee base looks like America. In order to leverage its diversity leadership and educate the partners that help the company achieve its mission, Fannie Mae provides tailored diversity training sessions to its customers¾mortgage lenders¾as well as diversity benchmarking sessions to other interested organizations. In addition, Fannie Mae features a multitude of internal programs and policies marked by a high degree of senior leadership accessibility and commitment to diversity. For example, the company has introduced "straight talk," a tool designed to facilitate candid dialogue between supervisor and direct report during performance-review discussions. Fannie Mae also has implemented many programs to leverage its internal diversity. Highlights include a program matching 150 mentoring pairs each year, a bimonthly speaker series during which senior employees share their career strategies, and an e-mentoring pilot. Currently, 44.1 percent of the management group at Fannie Mae is comprised of women; 12 percent of managers are women of color. The percentage of women at the director level has increased from 42 percent in 1994 to 45.4 percent in 2001; and the percentage of women in the officer level has increased from 33.6 percent in 1994 to 40.23 percent in 2001.
Marriott International Inc. Women and Marriott: Partners for the Future
The goal of Marriott International Inc.'s Women and Marriott: Partners for the Future initiative is to attract, advance, and retain talented women in a business that operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Through extensive internal research, the company created a three-pronged approach: improving the career planning and promotion process, creating career development tools to encourage networking and mentoring, and providing increased support for work/life balance. A two-day Women's Leadership Conference was convened to introduce the initiative and to foster a dialogue concerning women's leadership opportunities at Marriott. A senior advisory council on women and minority leadership development was created to initiate strategy and policy level changes and is accountable for tangible results. Under the leadership of chairman and CEO J.W. Marriott, Jr., the company has put many programs and activities in place related to child care, elder care, flexibility, relocation assistance, mentoring, and networking. A highlight is the customization of the Leadership Development Talent Inventory process for women, especially general managers, that includes a thorough personal assessment, extensive feedback, executive coaching, a workshop, and the creation of a personal development plan. This process allows women control over their own careers and the latitude to move throughout the businesses at Marriott. President and COO, William Shaw, reports on the progress of the initiative and on meeting numerical goals to the Board of Directors twice a year. The results: The percent of women at the senior manager and executive level has increased from 29.3% in 1998 to 32.4% in 2001 and, over a 21-month period from June 1999 to March 2001, the percent of women full service general managers increased from 7% to 15%.

15-year-old's mom, Bejarni Rivas face rape, human trafficking charges
Mother accused of trading sex with daughter for debt
15-year-old's mom, Bejarni Rivas face rape, human trafficking charges
GAITHERSBURG, Md. —
Montgomery County prosecutors said a mother and a Gaithersburg man are facing charges on accusations that they traded sex with the woman's daughter to pay off a debt.
Prosecutors said the mother is facing 11 charges, and 44-year-old Bejarni Rivas is facing 13 charges. Ramon Korionoff, a spokesman for the Montgomery County State's Attorney's Office, said the charges range from second-degree rape to human trafficking.
Attorney Walter Neighbors, who is listed in online court records as representing Rivas, said Sunday that he did not have any comment on the case.
Court documents show the mother owed $5,000 to Rivas. The documents said the alleged arrangement ended when the 15-year-old daughter told a relative, and the two went to police.

The use of second hand vehicle parts is as old as the motor car itself, and is probably the single greatest success story in the reuse/ recycling of any consumer product. Apart from saving you money & creating employment in the UK, it has enormous environmental benefits.
Selling your vehicle to someone advertising in a local newspaper or on the Internet, especially if they have no premises & operate with just a mobile number, is fraught with risk. Chances are they are illegal. To avoid fines for speeding, parking or tax offences, only use MVDA members.
Buying salvage can be a great way to save money, & get the vehicle you want for a fraction of forecourt prices. But to make the most of it you need to understand exactly what you're doing; in particular, what to avoid.
MVDA represents the interests of members to Government, other industry sectors & consumers. It provides advice & guidance to members, and encourages professionalism in order to give confidence to 'consumers' that its members are operating legally & that they meet certain standards
Formed in 1943, the Motor Vehicle Dismantlers Association (MVDA) is the Trade Association representing the interests of some 200 plus vehicle dismantlers and their customers throughout the UK. The Association's roll is to promote the interests of it's members and those of the motoring public whilst at the same time ensuring protection of the environment

new in shop
Thank you to everyone for such a positive response to my jewelry. I've realized after spending the better half of last week filling orders, packaging and shipping that I wasn't quite making costs. As you read, I started these to help pay for doctor's bills both previous and future ones, so I can't exactly afford to lose money with this venture.
That said, I'm in an uncomfortable situation of needing to raise my prices slightly. Don't worry, they are still less than $10 a pair!
I've got some new shades of purple available along with some neon green and even black marbled ones, which I need to get up this weekend.
Again, I'm so grateful for such kind support.

SAN DIEGO (Reuters) - In a race seen as too close to call, San Diego voters went to the polls on Tuesday to choose one of two city councilmen to succeed former Mayor Bob Filner, who resigned last summer amid multiple allegations of sexual harassment.
The runoff between the two top vote-getters in a special election last fall pits Republican Kevin Faulconer, backed by the city's downtown establishment, against Democrat David Alvarez, seeking to become the city's first Hispanic mayor.
The winner will succeed the disgraced former mayor who resigned at the end of August after a string of women, starting with his then-press secretary Irene McCormack Jackson, came forward with allegations of harassment.
McCormack Jackson was first of nearly 20 women to publicly accuse Filner of making unwanted sexual advances and other inappropriate behavior during his brief tenure as mayor of California's second-largest city.
Michael Vu, spokesman for the San Diego County Registrar of Voters, said 45 percent to 50 percent of the county's registered voters were expected to cast their ballots. Vu said the registrar's office had already received some 170,000 mail-in ballots.
Faulconer, the front-runner in a field of 11 candidates who ran in November, holds a scant 1 percentage point lead over Alvarez, according to a Survey USA poll commissioned by local news outlets UTSanDiego.com and 10News.com.
According to that survey on the eve of Tuesday's runoff, 47 percent of voters favor Faulconer and 46 percent support Alvarez, with 7 percent undecided.
To supporters, Faulconer represents the center-right that was long the political pedigree of mayors in California's second-most populous city, which has traditionally tended to lean conservative, in part because of its large military and retired military presence.
The 2012 election of Filner, a 10-term U.S. congressman who became San Diego's first Democratic mayor, was considered a political turning point.
But Filner's career could not withstand the political and public outcry against him as harassment allegations streamed in, even after he apologized for his behavior and sought psychiatric treatment. He later pleaded guilty to criminal charges of false imprisonment and battery involving three women and was sentenced to three months of home confinement.
On Monday, municipal officials announced that the city and Filner had agreed to a $250,000 compensation package to settle the sexual harassment suit brought by McCormack Jackson, with the entire sum coming from city coffers.
Alvarez, whose platform most resembles Filner's, was elected to the city council in 2010 by largely working-class and Hispanic neighborhoods, including San Ysidro and Barrio Logan, where he grew up. He has established a track record of fighting for those communities, often finding himself at odds with downtown interests.
Support from San Diego's Latino neighborhoods, long ignored by the city's mainstream politicians, was seen as key in elevating Filner, who ran on a progressive platform.
Now Alvarez has a clear shot at becoming San Diego's first Hispanic elected mayor - at least since California statehood - in a city originally founded as a presidio, or military post, by the Spanish five decades before Mexican independence.
The race between Faulconer and Alvarez turned nasty in the final days of the campaign, with stacks of mailers alleging that Alvarez is a tool of the unions and, at age 33, too young to run America's sixth-largest city.
Other mailers point out that Faulconer is a member of the San Diego Yacht Club, voted to cut death and disability benefits for firefighters, and charge that he is a pawn of downtown business interests.
The special election and run-off are expected to cost the city more than $7 million, according to county Registrar of Voters Bonnie Stone. Many of the ballots are being returned by mail, which may further slow the vote-counting process, she said.

text: In my virtual environment recently, I experienced two major failures. The first was with VMware vNetwork Distributed Switch and the second was related to the use of a VMware vShield. Both led to catastrophic failures, that could have easily been avoided if these two subsystems failed-safe instead of failing-closed. VMware vSphere is all about availability, but when critical systems fail like these, not even VMware HA can assist in recovery. You have to fix the problems yourself and usually by hand. Now after, the problem has been solved, and should not recur again, I began to wonder how I missed this and this led me to the total lack of information on how these subsystems actually work. So without further todo, here is how they work and what I consider to be the definition for fail-safe.

Teenage Magpie on unbeaten high in Twenty20
SOUTHS batsman Jack Carty says he doesn't consider himself a specialist Twenty20 player.
But the 17-year-old's impressive batting record this summer speaks for itself.
Carty has been a powerhouse at the crease for Souths and ranks among the competition's leading run-scorers with 150.
Even more remarkable is that Carty is yet to be dismissed in his three T20 innings for the Magpies which puts him in the unique position of having an incalculable batting average.
But the modest Carty played down his streak of unbeaten knocks.
"I've been lucky enough to get a few runs. It can go either way in T20," he said.
"Sometimes you can get out early but I've been able to go on with it.
"I don't usually pride myself as much of a T20-type batsman.
"I've been working on my batting all round at training and it's paid off in the T20."
Carty is hoping to carry that excellent form into tonight's do-or-die clash with University at Heritage Oval.
Northern Brothers Diggers are already through to next Friday's grand final, meaning the other spot comes down to tonight's encounter.
It would be a long-awaited return to finals action for the Magpies after enduring years without success.
Souths started the summer without a win in the one-day competition but they have hit their straps in the 20-over format.
"It's been nice for a change. We hadn't usually done too well in T20," Carty said.
"I don't think we've done anything different. We've worked well as a team and executed our bowling plans in the field.
"It's been a bit of a rough trot for the club but we've turned it around this year in all grades."
Souths are also pushing for a two-day finals berth in third place with two rounds left in the regular season.
Carty starts university in Brisbane next week but said he was still keen to play a role in the Magpies' finals assault.
"I'll travel back every Saturday to finish the summer and hopefully push for some finals spots," he said.
