Holland Makes Five Defensive Saves
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – When the horn sounded with the score tied 3-3 at the end of regulation on Sunday afternoon at Johnson Field, the Yale field hockey team was ready to fight one more round. Just a day after an emotional last-second Ivy League win over Dartmouth, the Bulldogs knew they had to guard against any chance of a letdown and be ready for a battle with Maine. That was one of the points of focus in the pregame meeting, where Pam Stuper, Yale's Caroline Ruth Thompson '02 Head Coach of Field Hockey, chose to read a quotation from boxer James Corbett that included the line "When your nose is bleeding and your eyes are black and you are so tired that you wish your opponent would crack you one on the jaw and put you to sleep, fight one more round -- remembering that the man who always fights one more round is never whipped."
No-one could have known then that the Bulldogs would, in fact, have to go to overtime to beat the Bears. Still, Stuper was confident in her team's preparation.
"I could tell we were ready when we sat in the locker room and went through the game plan," said Stuper. "They really took to heart what we needed to do."
So when the game came down to a back-and-forth extra session that saw each team get multiple chances to deliver the knockout blow -- including one apparent game-winning goal by the Bulldogs that got disallowed -- Yale was ready.
Maine (9-7, 2-2 America East) had the first scoring chance of the extra session, but junior goalkeeper Heather Schlesier made a blocker save on a shot by forward Cassidy Svetek two minutes in. Right after that the Bulldogs had numbers in transition with senior forward/midfielder Erica Borgo and junior forward Jessie Accurso charging hard towards the net, but Maine midfielder Annabelle Hamilton and goalie Natasha Ford combined to deny a pair of shots. Ford then made another save on a Yale penalty corner right after that.
Three minutes and 30 seconds into overtime the Bulldogs had another golden chance, but Ford made a save on Accurso after a nice set up from senior midfielder/back Georgia Holland. The potential for frustration escalated to a new level for Yale at the 10:58 mark, when senior midfielder Emily Schuckert scored what appeared to be the game-winner after dribbling in the circle and firing in a shot. The Bulldogs celebrated and lined up for the post-game handshake, but while that was happening the officials conferred and eventually determined that the ball had hit Schuckert's feet as she started to drive toward the goal. The goal was disallowed and Maine was awarded the ball.
"Our team handled it really well," said Stuper. "We knew we had to remain calm and just get back out there."
After another save by Ford on a Yale penalty corner, the Black Bears nearly caught the Bulldogs in transition. But sophomore back Danee Fitzgerald hustled back to disrupt the play, and Schlesier ended that threat with a kick save on a shot by forward Danielle Aviani.
In a game with plenty of heroes, the decisive play came from a familiar source: sophomore midfielder Nicole Wells, who had scored the game-winner with 25 seconds to play against Dartmouth the day before. While Saturday's shot was a perfectly-placed deflection, Sunday's came after Wells showcased her offensive moves with her back to the cage before turning around and whipping the ball in at 77:27. It was her third goal of the season.
"Nicole has really had a great year," said Stuper. "Every day she steps on the field she does something better. Not only is she a strong defender, but she also can put the ball in the back of the net."
That left Yale to celebrate victory a second time, this time for good. Like Saturday, the win came with a lineup that has been radically altered by injuries over the course of the season -- among many changes, this weekend saw freshman Emilie Katz switch from goalie to forward to help fill one of the holes created by injuries.
"I'm very proud of the team for the way they played this whole weekend," said Stuper. "They showed grit, heart, fight and determination."
For nearly 45 minutes at the start of the game, though, it looked like Yale (6-7, 2-2 Ivy League) would not need overtime to come away with the win. Freshman forward Rhoni Gericke put the Bulldogs ahead 1-0 at 25:46 of the first. On a penalty corner, Holland put the initial shot on goal but was denied. Wells helped keep the rebound alive, and Gericke knocked it in for the goal.
"Rhoni's the person you want with the ball if there's a scramble in front of the net," said Stuper. "She has got a great stick."
Holland, meanwhile, put on a show defensively. Over the course of the first half she made five defensive saves, a number that probably looks like a misprint to most people reading the box score. The NCAA does not keep records of that sort, but that total is clearly uncommon. In her more than two decades around the game of field hockey, Stuper could not recall anyone with a similar performance.
"Never," said Stuper. "Usually, even if you have two or three defensive saves in a game it's unbelievable."
The Black Bears had eight penalty corners in the first, and on many of them they tried rifling a shot just to the goalie's blocker side. But that was where Holland was stationed, and she sticked aside everything that came her way.
Gericke extended the lead to 2-0 at 29:20 of the second. Accurso settled down a long pass in transition, and Gericke fired it in.
Maine got a penalty corner at the end of the first half but Schlesier made a kick save on midfielder Annabelle Hamilton, then denied Hamilton's follow-up attempt to keep the Yale lead at two goals.
A green card on Holland with 28:06 to play provided the first big test for the Bulldogs. With the team captain sidelined, Stuper had to pick a player to fill the center back spot -- and called upon Borgo for a rare appearance in the backfield.
"Georgia's leadership in the backfield has been phenomenal," said Stuper. "She's been one of the best we have had here with her on-field play, her communication and her ability to organize the backfield. With her out of the game temporarily, I knew we needed a vocal leader. I knew Borgo would keep us organized and steady until Georgia got back."
That plan worked to stem the tide until Holland returned to the game, but Maine started its comeback with a goal from a tough angle by forward Holly Stewart at 25:16. Shortly after that a Black Bear corner set up the game-tying goal. Stewart redirected a perfectly placed pass from Hamilton in front of the cage.
"To Maine's credit, they are a really good team," said Stuper. "After giving them so many opportunities [the Black Bears finished with 32 shots], we were bound to see one or two of them fall sooner or later."
Schlesier kept the game 2-2 with a nice save on a tip in front of the cage by midfielder/back Marissa Shaw with 16 minutes to play. Schlesier also made a kick save on a shot by Hamilton on a penalty corner with 10:20 left.
After doing yeoman's work defensively, Holland got the chance to contribute a big goal when the Bulldogs earned a corner with less than eight minutes to play. Off the insertion by Borgo and the stick stop by Schuckert, Holland drilled in her seventh goal of the season to put Yale ahead 3-2 with 7:21 to play.
Maine answered with a penalty corner goal of its own, as Hamilton scored again to tie the score 3-3 with 3:40 left in regulation. That set the stage for the dramatic overtime victory.
Yale plays again next Saturday at Penn.

Brian Eno is keeping himself busy at the moment. As well as releasing a brand new album called Lux on Warp Records (his 25th studio album) the long-time Bowie collaborator, ex Roxy Music synth wizard and producer extraordinaire is now one of the faces of Alfred Dunhill's spring/summer 2013 "Voice" campaign.
Joining mountaineer Geordie Stewart and war photographer Don McCullin in this year's campaign, and following in the footsteps of Sir David Frost and John Hurt, the campaign sees Eno share thoughts on his art and music, all while slinking around in Alfred Dunhill gear.
Not that we'd usually pick Eno as one of our style icons, who never quite straddled the line between wacky and cool as well as his mate Bowie did. Case in point…
Still, he seems to have got his act together these days, and is looking particularly sharp for Alfred Dunhill. Catch his musings on music, life and art in the video below, and click here to see more from the campaign.

Former employees sue Allegheny Controller
Former employees sue Allegheny Controller
Two former Allegheny County employees have sued Controller Chelsa Wagner, claiming they were fired and replaced with younger workers who supported her political campaign.
The lawsuit says the workers were told in January they would be laid off for budgetary reasons, yet their replacements allegedly make more money.
Sixty-four-year-old Stanley M. Kaczmorski of Ross and 67-year-old Carmen Cupelli of Wilkins are suing Wagner and the county for age discrimination and violating their right to freedom of political affiliation.
Brad Korinski, solicitor for Wagner's office, says the allegations are frivolous and untrue.
Wagner was elected to office in November 2011.

In September Ecuador's president, Rafael Correa, delivered on an electoral promise and refused to renew Washington's decade-old, rent-free lease on an air base outside the Pacific coast town of Manta, which for the past ten years has served as the Pentagon's main South American outpost. The eviction was a serious effort to fulfill the call of Ecuador's new Constitution to promote "universal disarmament" and oppose the "imposition" of military bases of "some states in the territory of others." It was also one of the most important victories for the global demilitarization movement, loosely organized around the International Network for the Abolition of Foreign Military Bases, since protests forced the US Navy to withdraw from Vieques, Puerto Rico, in 2003. Correa, though, couldn't resist an easy joke. "We'll renew the lease," he quipped, "if the US lets us set up a base in Miami."
Funny. Then Washington answered with a show of force: take away one, we'll grab seven. In late October the United States and Colombia signed an agreement granting the Pentagon use of seven military bases, along with an unlimited number of as yet unspecified "facilities and locations." They add to Washington's already considerable military presence in Colombia, as well as in Central America and the Caribbean.
Responding to criticism from South America on the Colombian deal, the White House insists it merely formalizes existing military cooperation between the two countries under Plan Colombia and will not increase the offensive capabilities of the US Southern Command (Southcom). The Pentagon says otherwise, writing in its 2009 budget request that it needed funds to upgrade one of the bases to conduct "full spectrum operations throughout South America" to counter, among other threats, "anti-U.S. governments" and to "expand expeditionary warfare capability." That ominous language, since scrubbed from the budget document, might be a case of hyping the threat to justify spending during austere times. But the Obama administration's decision to go forward with the bases does accelerate a dangerous trend in US hemispheric policy.
In recent years, Washington has experienced a fast erosion of its influence in South America, driven by the rise of Brazil, the region's left turn, the growing influence of China and Venezuela's use of oil revenue to promote a multipolar diplomacy. Broad social movements have challenged efforts by US- and Canadian-based companies to expand extractive industries like mining, biofuels, petroleum and logging. Last year in Peru, massive indigenous protests forced the repeal of laws aimed at opening large swaths of the Amazon to foreign timber, mining and oil corporations, and throughout the region similar activism continues to place Latin America in the vanguard of the anti-corporate and anti-militarist global democracy movement.

Cisco and Microsoft announced a partnership that will allow them to share technology and integrate security features on Cisco's networking gear and Microsoft's server and desktop products.
Complete News Here: http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1009_22-5412415.html
I was about to buy a new switch for my network at work but this news got me thinking it might be useful for me to buy a router, Cisco probably for NAC/NAP technology.. Right now, my network is just a mess of cable plug everywhere (Like a spaghetti) so I want to start from scratch. I have (All Ethernet)
Undisclosed Company Firewall
3Com: 24 Ports Giga Switch (#1)
3Com: 6 Port Giga Switch (#2)
3Com: 24 Port 100Mg Switch (#3)
3Com: 24 Port 100Mg Switch (#4)
10 Servers and a bunch of PC.
I was planning to use my Giga 24 Port Switch (#1) as a central hub in a star topology. All the PC would connect to one of the other three 3Com Switch (#2, #3 or #4) and those switch would be connect to my 24 Ports Giga Switch (#1). My server would also be connecting to the 24 Ports Giga Switch (#1).
But right now, I'm confused so I have a few of questions on hardware networking!
1) Does Switch share the ARP or RIP databases with each others?
2) In my case, would changing my Giga 24 Port Switch (#1) by a Giga 24 Port Router would help the network speed?
3) What advantage would I have using a router as a central hub in a star topology over a switch?
4) Can you assign access rules between physical ports of a router? (Like in a Firewall between the WAN and LAN)
5) Can you assign access rules between physical ports of a switch?
Thank for your answer.

** (out of four)
Do you like movies that constantly bounce back and forth between the past and present? Here's another one: Julia (Kristin Scott Thomas) suspects that the apartment she's about to move into was once owned by Jews who were deported by the French in 1942, and in flashbacks the movie shows that's exactly the case.
The buzz: Am I the only one who would love to see Thomas shake things up and do a movie that isn't always so serious? (Same to you, DiCaprio.) Though for what it's worth, if you're going to adapt the novel by Tatiana De Rosnay, you could do a lot worse than casting Thomas or Niels Arestrup (so great in "A Prophet"), who appears as a compassionate Frenchman.
The verdict: If only "Sarah's Key" stuck with its title character, who locks her little brother in a secret closet to protect him from her captors and must escape to try to save him. The film's structure of alternating between time periods takes the urgency out of the past, while the present never had any to begin with. (Can Julia find out the truth before she moves?!) "Sarah's Key" feels like "Julie and Julia" in that half the time you wish you were watching the other storyline, though nothing here has any mystery or depth to it. Earlier this year "Incendies" presented a spectacular story about painful family truths and what they signify on a larger scale. "Sarah's Key" would rather show how Julia selfishly obsesses her way into another family's life as a way of distracting herself from her own conflict with her husband. Needless to say, that has nothing to do with the Holocaust, which, by film's end, comes close to being treated as manipulative context for a superficial tale about something else.
Did you know? One character describes the French's treatment of the Jews as being like what happened in the Superdome in New Orleans, only a million times worse. Gotta say: When it comes to horrible situations faced by people who deserved so much better—whether the problem was caused by people or weather—it's not a competition.

Huh...first post?
Anyway, I liked the episode in general; it covered most (if not all?) of the major plot points that I can remember from the latter half of volume 2.
Spoiler for Episode 6 Spoilers:
EDIT: But yes, yangire Ami is win. ^_^ ("Yandere" would only apply if the craziness was related to a love interest. Examples of yandere: Kotonoha and Sekai from School Days. Example of yangire: Ryouko Asakura, from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Note that, just as "tsundere" has become vaguely defined these days, "yandere" and "yangire" are also somewhat vaguely defined. I'm simply going by what I picked up in various places on the internet, such as the TVTropes wiki and so forth.)

This episode elevates itself little bit more and still consistent. Ami's character is very interesting in this episode. Kudos to the anime scenario writer who kept the spirit well from the novel and reinterpret the work in concise manner. VA for Ami is pretty good, showcasing wide range of voice.
Minorin as usual steal the show with her antics. Ami's fake cry scene is funny as hell to me.

Did it seem to anyone else that Ami was being extremely careless about who she was showing her true personality in front of? It's hard to believe that she's supposed some expert at keeping an appealing image if she slips up as often and as easily as she did this episode.
Well, I guess it's for the benefit of the viewers.

It is because of her encounter with people like Taiga, her ability to maintain the facade eroded considerably. That's the reason why her childhood friend trying to do, constantly putting Ami close to Taiga so she can be honest with herself in sort of "therapy". This is the reason why too Taiga sneering at Ami in episode 5 that her true personality will be revealed soon enough.
Hence my comment the anime is consistent. Ami did progress and this episode is sort of epiphany for her.

I wish they'd kept the part with Kitamura and Taiga stumbling in on the scene in the end... and Taiga tripping into the ditch, if my memory serves me correctly. Of course, they really need to have Ami meet Yasuko, just to see why Ryuuji doesn't respond in quite the same ways to her prettiness (or her body) as she might expect.
As for the comments, re: novel versus episode, I'm happy they kept in Taiga's revenge. Especially since it was important to show Taiga (and Minorin) doing that. The evil side of Minorin, in my opinion, adds much more to her character than portraying her as simply an over-energetic airhead (as the previous few episodes).

Wow, that was fun. All the main characters -- now including Ami -- have a lot to them.
I was actually kind of put off by the initial scene of the belly-rubbing, but the way the characters kept on relating to one another as the ep went on really did the trick for me. I was afraid we'd get episode after episode of Ami and Taiga/Minori as boring enemies. Instead, we got what sounds from other posts to be a quick run-through of a lot of plot development. Good stuff.
And Kitamura Eri did a great job as Ami. Really, this is the best I've ever liked her work. She was Saya in Blood+, Makoto in Touka Gettan, and Rin in Kodomo no Jikan. I'll post a bit of detail about her in the voice actor thread for Toradora.
NOTE: Novel-readers, please put spoilers around your boring, downer, detailed complaints about what got left out. I loved this episode. What I don't know won't hurt me, lol.

I liked this episode.
Very fast yea, but at least now we are one step closer to non translated work!!
Cant wait!! but part of me imagined more emotions in the Ryuji and Ami moments.. I was hoping that they show more bonding, and mutual respect after the ordeals.
oh well.. at least Ryuji continues to be a wonderful character to watch and I continue to wish RyujixAmi!!!

As I am guessing they won't show Taiga's reaction over the scene directly in the next episode because of the 'Inko-chan is sick' part played at the end so they will focus more on the parrot rather than initial reaction of Taiga... We will get her being pissed later but I do not think they will extend the scene.
Hopefully I am wrong and that it was juts another weird reaction from Inko, thebut it seems like they are playing the Inko is sick part on us already...
Well only the future will show.
P.S. Kaoru Chujo, it won't hurt you to know what never happens either, because it is not the spoiler in a true sense (as long as we talk about anime-only) as it doesn't spoil anything about the anime (as the scenes never do happen in it). So stop your whining about whining please.

Despite cheating allegations and rumors of a break up, newly engaged Bachelorette couple Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski are still together.
An insider told In Touch Weekly that both Ed and Jillian plan to stay engaged and work through the problems, specifically the cheating allegations. "When Jillian accepted Ed's proposal, she was starting to fall in love," the magazine reports.
The insider continues, saying it wasn't until after accepting the $60,000 ring that Jillian started to hear rumors that Ed might have kept company with a past girlfriend, among others.
A lot of people are wondering why Jillian has agreed to stay with Ed despite all the evidence pointing to him cheating. Former Bachelorette contestant, DeAnna Pappas believes money might be a factor.
"Hours after my finale, I was bombarded with offers for endorsements, special appearances and more," Pappas told In Touch. "But the catch was they wanted both me and my fiancé (Jesse Csincsak)."
Four months following the final rose ceremony and proposal, DeAnna and Jesse broke up. Both were offered $10,000 to appear at a nightclub and $5,000 to appear at a mall.
"If Jesse and I stayed together, we could have easily cashed in," Pappas said. "But for me, it felt like selling out."
UPDATE – Edited to add that ABC paid the first Bachelorette, Trista Rehn and husband Ryan Sutter, $1 million to televise their wedding back in 2003. So Jillian and Ed making it down the aisle could mean big bucks for the couple.

By Andrea Shalal-Esa
WASHINGTON, July 25 (Reuters) - U.S. Navy officials on
Thursday staunchly defended the newest class of U.S. warships
despite a spate of technical glitches, and they warned lawmakers
that halting funding for the ships or their equipment could
drive up costs.
They rejected a report by the Government Accountability
Office (GAO) released Thursday that blasted the acquisition
program for the Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) as a risky "buy
before fly" approach and urged lawmakers to limit funding for
more ships until the Navy completed technical studies.
The GAO report raised concerns about the stability of the
designs of the two different LCS models being built by Lockheed
Martin Corp and Australia's Austal Ltd and
questioned progress on three packages of equipment being
developed for the ships.
Concerns about the ship and its ability to survive an attack
came into sharp focus this week after two of four generators in
the USS Freedom, the first ship built by Lockheed, failed as the
ship was heading to a bilateral exercise with Singapore, forcing
it to return to port.
Maintenance staff were able to repair the ship, allowing it
to take part in the exercise, but the incident prompted repeated
questions during a hearing about the LCS program by the seapower
subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee.
"While expected in the first of class, the sheer number of
casualties associated with the LCS-1 is troubling and needs to
be quickly addressed," said Representative Randy Forbes, the
Virginia Republican who heads the subcommittee.
Navy acquisition chief Sean Stackley conceded the program
began with critical flaws but said the current approach was
"following best practices in acquisition, holding requirements
stable, holding the design stable, leveraging competition to the
fullest." He said the Navy was committed to addressing remaining
technical challenges and mitigating risks.
"Now is not the time to slow the program and add cost,"
Stackley told the hearing.
He said the cost of the ships themselves had been cut in
half from the first ships in the program, largely because of a
block buy of 20 ships, and the cost of mission modules for
hunting mines, detecting submarines and carrying out surface
warfare were also coming down. The average cost of the ships in
the multiyear agreements with Lockheed and Austal is now around
$350 million, roughly half the cost of the first two ships.
The Navy plans to spend $34 billion to buy a total of 52 LCS
ships, which were designed to patrol coastal waters while
addressing threats like mines and enemy submarines.
Stackley said changing course now by halting funding or
slowing production would reverse those cost improvements and set
back a program that he said was needed to fill gaps in the
Navy's current capabilities and help it expand the current fleet
of 286 ships to 300.
Such a move would also jeopardize the high-skilled workforce
that is building the ships, he said.
Navy officials say the ship's high speed and slimmer manning
requirements will help the Navy respond more quickly to emerging
crises around the world. The ship was designed as a "truck" to
carry different mission equipment that can be swapped out, and
to easily take on additional missions in years to come.
Stackley said the problems with the design of the lead ships
had been corrected and design changes had been reduced by up to
90 percent on follow-on ships.
He said three interchangeable mission packages being
developed for the ships were on track to deliver the capability
needed by the Navy and within preset cost targets.
"Today the greatest risk is that posed by the disruption and
delay caused by stop and start and slowdown caused by continuing
resolutions, sequestration and other budget reductions,"
Stackley told the hearing.
Paul Francis, managing director of acquisition and sourcing
management at the GAO, urged lawmakers to keep a close eye on
the program and demand more detailed answers from the Navy
before approving funding for the program in fiscal 2014.
"At this point, we're producing at full rate, yet we're
still experimenting with the ship," he said, although he said
the Navy had time to brief lawmakers on several technical and
design studies under way and keep the program on track.
"I don't envision a scenario where the 2014 buy actually
gets held up pending these studies," he said, noting that the
Navy and GAO "might be in violent agreement" about keeping
production of the ships to a minimal rate until operational
testing was completed in 2019.

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan. 31, 2013) - Lexam VG Gold Inc. (TSX:LEX)(FRANKFURT:VN3A)(OTCQX:LEXVF) is pleased to announce additional exploration results from the remainder of the 2012 drilling at the Fuller property. Results include 3.19 grams per tonne (gpt) gold over 19.1 metres (m) including 8.58 gpt gold over 3.7 m. Fourteen (14) holes were completed following up on the results of July 11, 2012 where drilling intersected 2.44 gpt gold (Au) over 21.0 m. Drilling has continued to encounter near surface mineralization in the quartz-feldspar porphyry and the surrounding volcanic rocks. Results continue to indicate that the Fuller property hosts strong near surface mineralization with both vertical and horizontal continuity, which is potentially amenable to open pit mining.
An updated resource estimate incorporating the results from the 2011-2012 Fuller drilling program is in progress. This resource estimate will evaluate the near surface potential of the Fuller property including a potential open pit model.
The 2011-2012 Fuller drilling program was successful in confirming the continuity of near surface gold mineralization:
- Near surface north-south continuity of the mineralization was indicated by the recent drill results highlighted above, together with earlier holes assaying: 2.44 gpt Au over 21.0 m (VGF-12-137), 1.85 gpt Au over 22.2 m (VGF-12-131), 6.33 gpt Au over 6.0 m (VGF-12-133), 3.44 gpt Au over 10.4 m (VGF-12-136) and 2.74 gpt Au over 13.4 m (VGF-12-140) - see Figure 1 and press release of July 11, 2012;
- Near surface vertical continuity was demonstrated with holes VGF-11-122 and VGF-11-123 assaying 2.53 gpt Au over 122.7 m and 1.26 gpt Au over 23.5 m respectively - see Figure 2 and press release of March 1, 2012;
- East-west continuity was shown in hole VGF-11-121 assaying 2.73 gpt Au over 50.2 m - see Figure 1 and press release of November 29, 2011.
In addition to testing the continuity of gold mineralization, the latest 14 holes completed on the Fuller project had two objectives:
1. Fill in and delineate the volcanic-porphyry contact and investigate how the historic higher grade gold intersections extend within and adjacent to the Fuller porphyry. To accomplish this, holes were drilled on north-south lines, to cross-section the east-west trending porphyry and adjacent Fuller mineralization. The majority of the holes were drilled starting in the adjacent volcanic rocks, continuing through the porphyry and terminating in the volcanics on the other side of the porphyry (see Figure 1). Hole VGF-12-145 intersected 3.19 gpt Au over 19.1 m extending the higher grade mineralization 30 m to the west. Hole VGF-12-142 targeted extending the mineralization to the east from VGF-12-137 which intersected 2.44 gpt Au over 21.0 m including 4.77 gpt Au over 6.7 m. The intersection of 4.86 gpt Au over 2.4 m failed to confirm the larger width of the zone continuing to the east.
2. Test for a western extension of the Fuller mineralization. Holes VGF-12-147 through VGF-12-150 targeted the Fuller mineralization along the postulated extension of the folded volcanic rocks. Historically, this area has been underexplored with limited diamond drilling that returned favourable results including 10.96 gpt Au over 6.2 m and 3.12 gpt Au over 20.1 m (see holes VG-96-52 and UG-87-24 in Figure 1). Although the recent drilling failed to return high grade gold of the same magnitude, the drilling intersected a sequence of favourably altered and mineralized volcanic rocks, indicating the potential for extending the Fuller mineralization to the west.
Current Fuller Resource Estimate
The Fuller property hosts a National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate dated May 3, 2006 with the existing resource contained in gold mineralized mafic volcanic rocks situated adjacent to and north of the porphyry (see Figure 1).
The 2006 Fuller resource evaluated an underground mining scenario and includes a number of mineralized zones. The resource was calculated from surface to a depth of approximately 500 metres below surface, utilizing a cut-off of 2.57 gpt Au (0.075 ounces per ton Au).
New Fuller Resource Estimate Underway
In order to better evaluate the potential for the mining of the deposit by open pit methods the updated resource calculation will utilize a cut-off of 0.4 gpt Au (0.012 ounces per ton Au). The estimate will incorporate the results of the 2011-2012 diamond drill programs, which targeted the mineralization in the upper 250 metres of the deposit and demonstrated continuity of gold mineralization over significant widths.
Fuller Property
The 100% owned Fuller property lies immediately north of the 100% owned Buffalo Ankerite property and west of the 60% owned Paymaster joint venture with Goldcorp (see Figure 1).
Next Steps for Lexam in 2013
I. Exploration Targets
1. Continue testing for a western extension on Fuller. With a kilometer of Lexam property to the west of the quartz-feldspar porphyry structure, there remains potential to expand the Fuller zones.
2. Testing deeper levels at Fuller. Surface drilling to date at Fuller has tested to 500 metres below surface, with the mineralization remaining open at depth.
3. Testing intermediate and deeper levels at Buffalo Ankerite. 2012 exploration results indicate that the mineralization at depths between 300 metres and 500 metres below surface at the Buffalo Ankerite North Mine has zones that were not mined and have received very little surface drilling.
II. New Fuller Resource Update
A new, updated NI 43-101 resource is being prepared. It incorporates the 2011-2012 drill program results that outlined near surface lower grade gold mineralization along with the deeper mineralization outlined in the 2006 NI 43-101 resource estimate.
III. Preliminary Economic Assessment
Once the Fuller update has been completed (expected by the end of February) along with a digital resource estimate of all our other projects, Paymaster, Buffalo Ankerite and Davidson Tisdale, a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) will be prepared. The PEA will be designed to test the economics of mining each of our deposits and to examine the synergies that may exist between them.

TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — Tunisia's Islamist prime minister announced his resignation Thursday in favor of a caretaker government that will supervise new elections later this year and complete the North African country's long delayed transition to democracy.
The resignation of Ali Larayedh and the dissolution of his coalition government represent an admission of defeat for the Ennahda Party that won elections in 2011 after the overthrow of its dictatorship but has struggled to run the country in the revolution's aftermath.
As the country that kicked off the Arab Spring pro-democracy uprisings in the region, Tunisia's transition — and especially the fate of its Islamist party — is being closely watched.
As a sign of the challenges facing the next government, several cities around this North African nation of 10 million have been wracked by protests this week over high inflation, lack of jobs and new taxes in the budget as the government struggles with an ongoing fiscal crisis.
In one of his final statements, Larayedh said the taxes on transportation and farming equipment that had provoked the demonstrations had been suspended.
Mehdi Jomaa, an engineer and the former industry minister, has been selected to replace Larayedh and is expected to present his new cabinet Friday.
"As we promised, once the vision was clear and the country was on the right track, I presented my resignation to the President Moncef Marzouki," Larayedh told reporters. He lauded the Constitutional Assembly for appointing a new commission to oversee elections. Its members comprise two judges, a lawyer, a university professor and experts in finance and IT.
The decision by Ennahda, which ruled in coalition with two other secular parties, to step down ended a months-long political standoff.
In the midst of a mounting economic crisis, social upheaval and the assassination of two left-wing politicians, the opposition had demanded, and eventually received, a caretaker government to hold new elections.
It is not likely to be the end of Ennahda's influence, however. The party still has a solid base of support in society and will likely be part of any postelection governing coalition.
The new constitution is expected to be voted on next week and planning will begin for new elections.
Tunisia's revolution inspired similar uprisings across the Arab world, but in the aftermath of the so-called Arab Spring, the transitions to democracy have stumbled.
Tunisia has seen a rise in extremism and terrorist attacks blamed on shadowy Islamist groups, as well as waves of demonstrations over unmet social expectations amid a faltering economy.
Islamists dominated the elections in 2011 but they have since seen their popularity diminish in the face of the country's persistent problems. Polls, however, still show Ennahda as one of the most powerful parties in the country.
Despite the difficulty of the transition, the different political players ultimately showed a willingness to negotiate and compromise that was absent in other Arab Spring countries, allowing problems to be resolved.
The assembly will vote Thursday on which member will preside over the commission and is expected to choose university professor Chafik Sarsar, according to the state news agency.

While exposure to conducted energy devices (CEDs) is not risk free, there is no conclusive medical evidence that indicates
a high risk of serious injury or death from the direct effects of CEDs. Field experience with CED use indicates that exposure
is safe in the vast majority of cases. Therefore, law enforcement agencies need not refrain from deploying CEDs, provided
the devices are used in accordance with accepted national guidelines.
The purported safety margins of CED deployment on normal healthy adults may not be applicable in small children, those with
diseased hearts, the elderly, those who are pregnant and other at-risk individuals. The use of a CEDs against these populations
(when recognized) should be avoided, but may be necessary if the situation excludes other reasonable options.
Underlying medical conditions may be responsible for behavior that requires subdual by law enforcement, including the use
of CEDs. Abnormal mental status in a combative or resistive subject may be associated with a risk for sudden death. This should
be treated as a medical emergency.
A review of deaths following CED exposure indicated that many were associated with continuous or repeated discharge of the
CED. There may be circumstances in which repeated or continuous exposure is required, but law enforcement officers should
be aware that the associated risks are unknown. Therefore, caution is urged in using multiple activations of CEDs as a means
to accomplish subdual.

A new song to the iPod rotation set up today's iPod Devotional and (full disclosure) a chance to give a sneak preview from a brand new chapter in the new release of When Bad Christians Happen to Good People.
The song is by a group called Rush of Fools. First of all, their name sounds like a group of guys that a random "bad Christian" might fit in with comfortably. The song "Your Grace Found Me" perfectly reflects my journey over the past decade. I have to be honest and report that I wasn't looking for grace. I was looking for an exit to get far, far away from most Christians.
The chorus describes my story.
I'm covered over, I'm so wrapped up, it's all your love it's all your love,
Your grace found me, when I wasn't breathing, grace found me
That chorus sets up nicely an excerpt from the book that tells part of the story about how His grace "found" me.
Our culture sets up false images that misrepresent Jesus. I call them Jesus Decoys. Decoys are lifeless imitations of the real thing. Decoys are designed to lure unsuspecting prey into a trap. And I believe that, sadly, we have placed Jesus decoys to lure people into a faith that is not real Christianity.
One of my most difficult decoys was my dogged pursuit of righteousness. Doesn't seem like such a bad goal to pursue but my approach was deadly. I had replaced dependence with self-effort and confused righteousness with my own determined right behavior. I was failing miserably. I had just about resigned myself to simply hanging on till I got to glory. What I didn't know is that God had me right where He wanted me.
In the summer of 2007 Joni and I received an invitation to something called Bo's Café. It was a seminar hosted by a rather unique (okay, weird) group of guys from an organization called Truefaced. What caught my attention was that Bo's Café was going to be held at a Five-Star resort in San Diego. As long as they didn't ask us to shave our heads or get hooked up to electronic meters it would be worth the risk to get a little resort time. When I arrived in San Diego my faith was pretty much flat-lined. I was tired of trying so hard with such mixed results. I was sad that it appeared I would have to accept a brand of Christianity that seemed so much less than what I had dreamed about as a new believer. I wondered if the church was still relevant and debated whether a Bible Study with some friends might not be a better use of my time than dragging to church every week.
We went to San Diego to have a relaxing weekend. Now I can't even remember what the resort looked like. What I remember is what God did in my heart that weekend. I have been a Christian for nearly forty years. I am a little too old and lot too cynical to be swept away by the latest fad in Christendom. I have sat on the sidelines while Jabez prayed, millions were purpose driven and others found their best life. I guess I was just left behind. Others were incredibly excited by one or all of these phenomena.
At the conference speaker John Lynch addressed how we are programmed from childhood to default to performance theology. He calls it the "Santa Clause is Coming to Town theology". You know the song well.
You better watch out
Better not cry
Better not pout
I am telling you why
Santa Clause is comin' to town
He's making a list….checking it twice…three times…every day
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Santa Clause is comin' to town
He sees you when your sleeping, nows when your awake, he knows when you've been bad or good so be good for goodness sake.
Oh, he's watching. Waiting for you to screw up so you will get coal instead of a bicycle. You had better please him. And we teach our kids to put on the mask and be something they are not. Because Santa Clause is comin' to town. This omniscient being who is judging our every deed is coming to town…and we learn to do the dance early. Buck up…be good. Don't cry. Don't pout. Santa Clause is coming to town. (©Copyright 2003, William Thrall, Bruce McNicol, John Lynch. All rights reserved. Unauthorized duplication prohibited.)
He is exactly right. We learn that we get good things and receive love only when we are good and do good things. Santa is pleased (and we later substitute God) when we obey. So we learn early. We had better be good. Or least fool everyone around us to think that we are being good. So we learn to lie and hide and cover-up our sin or doggedly attack sin with only self-effort.
I learned a couple of things early. I learned how hard it is to change behavior by sheer willpower and I learned that I could fool Santa by living a lie. I learned that that he would bring me presents in spite of my failures. I did not learn about grace. That maybe Santa gave me gifts because of who I was and maybe he came to my house because I was lovable instead of rewarding me for what I had done to please him. I figured I had fooled him and to get the good stuff I would have to continue to hide the little boy who broke an ornament and then hid it. Hiddenness worked. Or at least it seemed to work.
Isn't that too often how we view God? We had better not pout. Better not sin. I'm telling you why. Jesus is coming to town. He's making a list and He is checking it not once or twice but every moment of every day. God knows if you've been bad or good so if you want to be healed or happy or prosperous you had better be good for goodness sake. If I do mess up I am scared to death that I will get a bad life or miss all that God has for me. So I put on the mask and try to be really good for Jesus. If I can fool those around me maybe, just maybe, I can fool God too.
Satan sells the lie so convincingly. And we buy it for months and years and even decades.
But God and Santa are very different in their approach. God does not keep a list. He is not impressed by our hernia inducing straining to control sin. God is honored when we trust Him.
Jesus offers us so many gifts. But the one we seem to have the hardest time unwrapping is the gift of grace. The gift that allows us to become who God desires us to become as we simply trust Him and quit trying to be "good" for goodness sake. We are saved by grace and faith in Christ. We become like Him by the same radical strategy. Faith that He has changed us into a new creation. And understanding the grace that gives us good gifts even when we don't deserve them.
(Excerpt from When Bad Christians Happen to Good People, Waterbrook Publishing, 2011)
Paul wrote to the church at Galatia and reminded them of these truths.
My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die. (Galatians 2, NLT)

1. Re: Complex webserviceRamesh Reddy May 1, 2012 5:49 PM (in response to suresh ramaraju)
Take a look at this thread https://community.jboss.org/thread/196714
The above describes a way using Teiid Designer and XSD to define a XML model and build XML document from that model.
Additionally, there is no tooling support currently, but you can use full range of SQLXML functions to describe XSD model and author a XML document in Teiid too. Take look at Reference Guide for all the SQLXML functions available. Basically in this route you are defining the Teiid procedure transformation using SQLXML functions.
2. Re: Complex webservicesuresh ramaraju May 2, 2012 12:42 PM (in response to Ramesh Reddy)
Let me elaborate little bit more for our scenario.
We have complex xml as source of data (It has too many hierarchy).
Ex. Component
Basically the aboue source should be transformed into again in the complex web service. We have around 50 different xml templates as source. How do i load all into TEID parallelly. Is teid will support xslt during import source.
For exposing webservice is TEID will support data mapping to existing wsdl (Will it support contract first).
3. Re: Complex webserviceRamesh Reddy May 2, 2012 3:10 PM (in response to suresh ramaraju)
First of all it is called Teiid, not TEID. There are many questions in your post. Let me see if I can answer them.
Yes, Teiid supports complex XML as source. Try using Teiid Designer and use new XML import wizard and see if that helps in converting the XML into relational tables. If you are just looking for XML to XML then you are better off using XSLT directly or using something like Smooks. Teiid does provide XQuery support if you want use that to convert the incoming XML document into another XML document. Or if you already developed XSLT, you can use UDF (user defined function) where you can write some java code to apply the XSLT of your choice on the XML document to produce the result document.
Yes, Teiid supports creating a web service through WSDL. There is a import wizard in Teiid Designer for this. Once wizard creates the skeleton structure, you are still responsible to attach the above XML document into this to produce a webservice. Once the VDB ready there facilities in Teiid Designer to generate a WAR file for the web service.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Prosecutors in Mexico say they have charged two policemen with raping an Italian woman in a Caribbean beach town where she lives.
Prosecutors in the state of Quintana Roo say the municipal police officers were arrested over the weekend in Playa de Carmen.
The officers allegedly raped the woman after she refused their demands for money. Prosecutors say the officers had demanded 3,000 pesos ($235) to let the victim and a companion off from possible charges for public urination.
The officers face abuse of authority and rape charges. They have no lawyer of record.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Senate panel voted on Tuesday to provide weapons to rebels battling the forces of Syrian President Bashar Assad, the first time lawmakers have endorsed the aggressive U.S. military step of arming the opposition in the 2-year-old civil war.
With a degree of trepidation, the Foreign Relations Committee voted 15-3 for a bill that would provide lethal assistance and military training to vetted rebel groups, and would slap sanctions on anyone who sells oil or transfers arms to the Assad regime such as Iran and Russia. The measure also establishes a $250 million fund to aid in the transition if and when Assad falls.
An intense committee debate over the bill underscored congressional fears about greater U.S. military involvement in a Mideast war after more than a decade of American combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. It also exposed divisions within the Republican Party about U.S. foreign policy that will remain well into the 2016 GOP presidential nomination fight.
The fate of the bill is uncertain, with opposition among several senators and far less enthusiasm in the House for stepped-up U.S. military action. The legislation does send a strong message as the Obama administration mulls its next step.
After some 90 minutes of discussion — and rejection of several amendments to undercut the measure, a bipartisan argument for increased U.S. action in Syria swayed lawmakers.
"The greatest humanitarian crisis in the world is unfolding in and around Syria," said Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., the committee chairman. "Vital U.S. interests are at stake including the stability of the Middle East, loose chemical weapons, and the danger that Syria becomes a safe haven for extremists. The United States must play a role in tipping the scales toward opposition groups and working to build a free and democratic Syria."
Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, the panel's top Republican, implicitly criticized the Obama administration as he joined Menendez in embracing the measure.
"Much of the policy on Syria has been done on an ad hoc basis," Corker said. "This bill lays out a strategy."
The United Nations estimates that more than 70,000 people have been killed and more than 1 million displaced after two years of fighting between Assad forces and rebels. The Obama administration has provided millions of dollars in humanitarian assistance but has been wary of calls to arm the rebels or launch military strikes despite recent evidence that Assad has used chemical weapons on his people.
The administration is mulling its next step as Secretary of State John Kerry pursues a diplomatic solution.
Opposing the legislation were Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., a potential presidential candidate in 2016, and Democratic Sens. Tom Udall of New Mexico and Chris Murphy of Connecticut.
Udall questioned whether the United States would know what rebel groups it was arming as it introduced more lethal weapons into a chaotic situation while Murphy argued that the U.S. hasn't learned from history.
"We have failed over and over again in our attempts to pull the strings of Middle Eastern politics," he said.
Paul said the U.S. is war weary and reluctant to get involved in a murky conflict with so many factions. He said there is no assurance that the weapons would end up in the hands of "liberty-loving, Jeffersonian-type of democrats."
"It's impossible to know who are friends are," he said.
His arguments put him at odds with another potential White House candidate — Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, who backed the legislation and insisted that it was critical to help groups battling the well-armed, pro-Assad forces and radical jihadists.
The committee turned back two amendments sponsored by Paul, one saying the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force does not allow intervention in Syria and another that barred weapons to Syria.
Paul pointed out the irony that one of the most effective rebel groups fighting Assad is Jabhat al-Nusra, an al-Qaida-affiliated group. The goal of the legislation is to ensure that the rebel groups meet a certain criteria with no links to terrorism.
The panel also rejected a Udall amendment that would have limited the weapons to .50-caliber arms and smaller. The senator warned that heavier weapons could end up in the hands of U.S. enemies.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., a fierce proponent of aggressive U.S. military might against Syria, pointed out that Assad's forces have used helicopter gunships, tanks, Scud missiles and heavy artillery.
"The senator wants to use shotguns against Scud missiles," McCain said derisively.
Udall said Saudi Arabia and Qatar are providing weapons to the opposition forces. The United States, he said, "could turn over the weapons we're talking about and next day they end up in the hands of al-Qaida."
On Wednesday, Kerry will meet with 10 of America's closest Arab and European allies in Jordan. Officials said the gathering has two aims: to change Assad's calculation, only fortified by his recent military successes, that he can win the war militarily, and to persuade both the government and the opposition to attend peace talks next month in Geneva.

Pentridge Prison Redevelopment
Masterplan has been conceived as a
vibrant new urban village within
Coburg, consistent with Moreland City
Council's Coburg 2020 vision and
principles established in Melbourne
2030. The proposal has been designed
in direct collaboration with heritage and
local government authorities and will
begin construction in mid 2004.
The 150 year old bluestone Prison,
formerly the H.M. Pentridge Prison
component of the Coburg Prison
Complex, was closed in 1997 and
tendered for private development in
1999. The former prison, enclosed
within a 6 metre high permiter
bluestone wall, is to be redeveloped as
a significant european style Piazza with
active and attractive, pedestrian and
cycle focused, publicly accessible open
space, retail, commercial, institutional
and community facilities, as well as
various types of residential
A Heritage Interpretation Strategy, in
conjunction with a detailed outline of
proposed Design Guidelines has been
documented to assist the management
of significant heritage conservation
works to be undertaken across the
development site. The adaptive re-use
of primary heritage buildings and
structures is a committment the design
team has made to the creation of a
unique landmark site within the heart of
Coburg, both a tourist attraction and
destination for a diverse community.

IRVING (AP) – Monte Kiffin figures he could be 52 and coaching the 3-4 defense instead of 72 and running the 4-3.
Age and scheme don't matter much to the new defensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys. Talent and passion do.
"I look at coaching like this, do you like it or do you love it?" Kiffin said Thursday in his first meeting with reporters at team headquarters. "You got to love it. You got to have great passion."
Kiffin, architect of the so-called "Tampa 2" when the Buccaneers won the Super Bowl after the 2002 season, will spend the next six months converting the Cowboys to the 4-3.
It's the same alignment they used when coach Jason Garrett was a backup quarterback and Dallas was winning three Super Bowls in four seasons in the 1990s. Dallas switched to the 3-4 under Bill Parcells almost a decade ago.
When he replaced the fired Rob Ryan last month after the Cowboys' second straight 8-8 season – and third in a row without a playoff berth – Kiffin remembered seeing countless news items that all seemed to start with "72-year-old."
"I thought it was my jersey number, by the end of the day, good golly," said Kiffin before pointing out with a wry smile that he was a leap year baby in 1940 — born on Feb. 29. "So can you figure out how old I am right now?"
There's no escaping that he will be 73 when the season starts, but he wasn't thinking about age and whether he related to today's players when he decided he wanted back in the NFL after four seasons running the defense for son Lane Kiffin at Tennessee and Southern California.
"I got the same question when I was 68 years old at the University of Tennessee," Kiffin said. "Let me tell you what. I'm 72 going on 52."
The new Dallas staff's ties to Tampa Bay's Super Bowl team go deeper than Kiffin. Rod Marinelli turned down a chance to stay in Chicago as defensive coordinator after Lovie Smith was fired, deciding instead to run the defensive line for the Cowboys. It's the same job he had with the Bucs when Kiffin was defensive coordinator.
Rich Bisaccia was special teams coach in Tampa from 2002-10 and left Auburn after just a few weeks when he says Garrett kept pressing him to join the Tampa reunion.
"I think we know what we believe in and what the core beliefs are and the core beliefs are running to the football and playing with passion and playing with great energy and probably the No. 1 thing we all look for are guys that love football," Bisaccia said. "The three of us love football."
Marinelli was the first of the three to leave Tampa when he became head coach in Detroit. That lasted just three years, and ended with the only 0-16 season in NFL history.
He bounced back quickly, going to Chicago as defensive line coach and getting promoted to defensive coordinator a year later. The Bears forced 44 turnovers in 2012, including five interceptions of Tony Romo – two of them returned for touchdowns – in a blowout win at Cowboys Stadium.
"When I came from Tampa, everything we did worked, so there was a great belief, a great faith in what you're doing, and then I was very fortunate to go through adversity," Marinelli said. "It's really not a belief unless it's been attacked, and you kind of weather the storm through it all, which I did, and then you come out of it with a stronger belief."
Kiffin's return to the NFL was followed less than a week later by NFC East rival Philadelphia hiring Chip Kelly as coach, leading pundits to point out that Kelly's Oregon Ducks rolled up 730 yards against Kiffin's Trojans last season – and more than 1,150 yards over two games.
"We should have done better at USC," said Kiffin, who spent 11 seasons in the 1960s and '70s under Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne at Nebraska, his alma mater. "We didn't play as well as we should have. I take responsibility. I got back in and the Pac-12 had gotten better, without a doubt."
Kiffin says the Cowboys have the personnel to make the 4-3 switch, contradicting his old boss in Tampa, Tony Dungy, who said the Cowboys will need two years of drafts to stock the defense properly.
The biggest change will be Pro Bowl linebacker DeMarcus Ware converting to defensive end, and the biggest question will be whether Dallas has enough interior defensive linemen after eight seasons with only a nose tackle. Another concern is whether cornerbacks Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne are physical enough for the Tampa 2 style.
"The transition, you never know, but when you start to look at these guys on tape, they can really run and our system is built on speed, quickness and balance and change of direction and attitude," Marinelli said. "The fit looks good. It's intriguing and exciting."
