Dog Training Advisers at the GermanShepherdCrateTraining.com have recently published an online article that highlights the importance of training a German shepherd, the experts point out that if the dog owner wishes to enjoy a well behaved and obedient German Shepherd and a rewarding owner and dog relationship then proper training of the dog is vital and should not be ignore. GermanShepherdCrateTraining.com experts instruct:
"The intent and the training that you administer during these important and formative first few weeks of life, can affect your German Shepherd into his adult years. Experiencing a negative start to his life, through traumatic encounters or negative reinforcement, will be considered one of the dog's triggers later in life. This can lead to dangerous behaviors."
The article goes on further to educate German Shepherd owners that the training of a dog should ideally begin as soon as the dog is introduced to the new home and family. German Shepherds are known to have unique behavioral characteristics which require proper conditioning and training to lay the groundwork for a well behaved and loving pet for the rest if its life.
Various other How to train a German Shepherd articles have also been featured on GermanShepherdCrateTraining.com as well as on the subject of Obedience Training Classes. Obedience Training are important for both the dog and the owner, firstly such classes establish the idea of obedience in the dog's mind, secondly it teaches German Shepherd owners how to handle the dog, and thirdly it gives the dog and the owners a unique setting to bond and socialize with one another, Troy Lopes a representative of GermanShepherdCrateTraining.com adds:
"Another benefit of obedience training is time spent exercising the dog's problem solving abilities through the use of obstacle courses. This aide in the dog's willingness and capability of pleasing the owner, as well as using up the extra energy that these dogs are known for."
German shepherd training tips shared on the website will help owners teach their dogs many important behaviors and tricks at any age especially when the German shepherd is young. With low attention spans and plenty of energy German Shepherd puppies can be quite a handful for their owners. GermanShepherdCrateTraining.com article on German Shepherd Puppy Training suggests:
"These dogs must be kept busy and lovingly corrected to focus their abilities on the correct behaviors. In many ways, they are like young children who need constant attention and focused activities in order to keep them on the straight and narrow."

Prepare for the Penguin
Take an inventory of your system
The key to a successful Linux install is preparation. Know your system inside and out. Most modern Linux installs are deft at automatically detecting your hardware configuration, but if you hit a snag, you'll need to know what's in your box.
-----> I recommend Belarc advisor to give you a clear snapshot of your hardware. You can download it for free from Belarc.
Get a couple of books
Some may scoff, but besides the AntiOnline Member's assistance a combination of Linux documentation and an independent guide to Linux installs will serve you well. The documentation will guide you through the proper steps and tell you what to expect from your particular distribution of Linux. The independent guide can elaborate and explain a little more about how Linux works.
You can get documentation when you download Linux, or in the box when you buy it. For the other book, I used "Complete Idiot's Guide to Linux", but Linux Online has a selection of basic Linux books.
Pick your distribution Try LinuxIso.org
For first-timers, I recommend a version of Mandrake or Caldera. Caldera's better for experimenting, but it's not as powerful. If you still want an easy install but with full power, try Mandrake. There are many packages of Mandrake and Caldera, including Macmillan and Corel.
(I started w/ Red Hat myself.)
Decide how you're going to boot
If you've got a separate machine that you'll devote to Linux, you don't need to worry about booting up. However, if you're installing Linux on a machine with Windows or another operating system, you'll need to create a partition before you start.
You may hear that you should never install Linux before Windows. This isn't true, but it's not a bad idea to install Windows first. (LILO, the Linux multiboot manager, originally didn't work well with Windows NT, but that's no longer true. Plus, Red Hat now has GRUB, which is a much nicer boot manager than LILO.)
Begin the partitioning
Whether you're going multiboot or not, you'll need to partition your hard drive. You can use PartitionMagic to resize your partitions, but Linux will do the main partitioning for you.
Now, if you're sure, let's get on with the installation.
Boot Up for a Linux Install
I like installing Linux from a bootable CD. That saves the hassle of loading a Linux boot floppy, then a CD-ROM. So if your BIOS allows, make your CD-ROM the first boot device, then the floppy, then the hard drive. You'll find that option under "Advanced Setup" in some BIOS setups, or under "BootTK" in others.
Get into BIOS
Try pressing F1, F2, or the Delete key during startup. Or look for a message that says something like, "Click X now to change system settings." And, not to be a drag, but if you're not familiar with the BIOS, you might want to think twice about installing Linux.
Begin the Linux Install
It seems as if every Linux distribution uses a slightly different installer.
Well, that's the point of many Linux distros: to deliver an easier installation. We're focusing on the things they all tend to have in common. If your installation doesn't sound quite like ours, don't worry. It probably isn't, and that doesn't mean anything is wrong.
The Linux installer's inquisitive nature
Today's graphical Linux installers are all about questions. What language would you like? What keyboard do you have? A two- or a three-button mouse? If you can't answer those questions, then stop. You're not allowed to install Linux.
If you can answer those questions, there are more difficult ones. Are you installing a workstation or server? (Workstation.) What desktop environment? (I'd go for KDE.) Read the manual as you go along.
Not just Root, but users, too
Linux is a multi-user environment by nature. One particular account, Root, can do anything on the system, from setting up accounts to erasing bits that shouldn't be erased. You shouldn't do your daily computing in the Root (God-mode, if you will) account. That means you must create at least one account for daily use.
Will more than one person be using the system? Create an account and password for each user.
Configure X Window
Right about now, your Linux install probably has either automatically detected the graphics card and monitor in your system, or asked you to tell it just what it's talking to.
X Window configuration doesn't have to hurt.
If you did your research, you should know the names of your monitor and your graphics accelerator. You also should know what graphics chip you have on your video board, and what native resolutions and color depths it supports. And if you really did your homework, you even know the preferred refresh rate for your monitor.
If you're lucky, your Linux distro managed to identify your graphics hardware and all you have to do is hit the "test this configuration" button. Worst case? You'll have to manually enter the specs you want to run your monitor at.
Don't sweat it, just make sure you test the configuration before you go on to the next step. (It's annoying to boot your system, only to be forced to go into command-line mode to configure X Window so you actually can see it.)
Got that book?
Nothing quite like waiting for files to copy from the installation CD.
Reboot Your New Linux Machine
Don't forget to remove the install CD!
If you don't, instead of booting into your new Linux install, you'll run the setup all over again. Sounds simple, but we've all forgotten this one. At least I have, but no more than, uh, twice.
As your machine boots Linux, you should see a whole mess of text scrolling up the screen. That's normal. At some point the text will stop scrolling. You'll either see a text-based login prompt (localhost login or a brightly colored desktop with a login prompt.
Once the text prompt comes up, type in "Root," then your root password. After you log in, type "startx." That will launch the windows manager, and you'll get the pretty, colored desktop and windows.

The 2012 Arnold Sports Festival
The estimate for this year's attendance at the Arnold Sports Festival (ASF) was 175,000. Well, it seems that there is no end in sight for the popularity of this weekend event. Even the most conservative estimate I've heard was that over 200,000 people had shown up to enjoy the festivities.
It's easy to understand how the ASF has grown year after year. Once you attend the event, you just have to go the following year while encouraging others to make the trek to Columbus, Ohio.
The ASF, with more than 18,000 athletes competing in more than 45 sports and events, is the largest multi-sport event in the USA. It all began when Arnold Schwarzenegger was invited by Jim Lorimer to compete in Columbus in the 1970 Mr. World Contest. Arnold of course won, and their friendship began. Arnold vowed that once he retired from competition he would promote bodybuilding in Ohio with Jim Lorimer.
Arnold kept his word, and together their passion for fitness has spanned four decades. In 1989, the Arnold Classic and the Miss International brought professional bodybuilding to Columbus, Ohio. The event's growth and popularity spawned the birth of the Arnold Fitness EXPO (AFE) in 1993.
The AFE is the largest health and fitness expo in the USA, and is a must see. At $10.00 in advance, and $15.00 at the door, it's the best value in sports entertainment. This year featured 700 booths of the latest in sports equipment, apparel and nutrition. The AFE attracts the top companies in the industry who put together elaborate displays.
STS is a brand you can trust
The Expo stage hosts the Arnold Strongman Classic, the prejudging for the Ms. International, the Fitness International and the Figure International Competitions. Other highlights include Arnold Armwrestling, the Arnold Amateur Strongman and the Arnold Amateur Bodybuilding finals.

Quantum touts high end de-duplication box
Virtual tape, remote replication and de-dupe, all in one
Quantum has announced a high-end de-duplication appliance, called DXi7500. The new box is aimed at large enterprises, and as well as de-dupe, it can also be used as a virtual tape library (VTL) with a path to real tape, as disk-based backup and even as straight replicated disk storage.
The company claims it is the only vendor offering this multiple functionality, and said it will enable the DXi7500 to side-step the performance limitations that have prevented it from offering a high-end de-duplication appliance in the past.
The DXi7500 also allows all those capabilities to be used side by side, with automated policies to move data between them, according to product manager Mark Galpin. So it could back-up some files in raw form to disk, de-dupe others and move a third group to tape.
The device is intelligent too, so it can move data to disk or tape without needing to involve a network media or backup server.
De-duplication is a deep compression technology, which processes data in bulk to remove repeated blocks and files by converting them into pointers. When used over a WAN, it subsequently transfers only the blocks that have changed.
Galpin said the DXi family combines technology from Quantum and ADIC, which merged last year, plus de-dupe software from Rocksoft, which ADIC had previously acquired.
Until now, the family has comprised the DXi3500 and DXi5500 - two fixed-format appliances which differed primarily in the size of their disk subsystems.
"The 3500/5500 was ADIC software and Quantum hardware - all we had to do was upgrade the software and the file system, so we had it to market in 16 weeks - but the enterprise platform was a different kettle of fish," Galpin said.
He added that the smaller systems did not push the boundaries of what's possible with de-duplication - in particular, the limit on how much data a single de-dupe engine can process in one go.
However, the DXi7500 uses a much larger LSI disk array on the back-end, enabling it to scale to 240TB, and Galpin said that trying to de-dupe that much data could severely degrade the system's speed.
So Quantum has rolled in all the other features - in fact, they are the standard ones, while de-dupe is an option which must be licenced according to the de-dupe capacity required - to create a multi-function data centre subsystem where disk capacity can be allocated to different backup options.
Galpin said the de-dupe capability also makes it possible to replicate to another DXi over the WAN, while the path-to-tape feature borrowed from ADIC's Pathlight enables it to cache backups to disk locally, then write them out to a tape library at a remote site.
The DXi's rivals include Diligence and Avamar (now owned by EMC) which both offer de-dupe software, and Data Domain which sells similar de-dupe appliances. FalconStor, NetApp and Sepaton also have de-dupe technology, Galpin said. ®

Phoenix Metals to build Fort Smith facility, bring new jobs
FORT SMITH, Ark. —
Phoenix Metals Company said in a news release that it would construct a new $4 million facility for their metal processing center and warehouse at Chaffee Crossing.
Managers said the company would invest about $8 million in new equipment, and they hope to create up to 40 jobs over three years. They said the average wage would be $15 per hour.
"Phoenix Metals has been looking to add a service center somewhere along the I-40 corridor from Russellville to Tulsa to take care of our customers in that region," said Branch Manager Don Gray. "The Chaffee Crossing Development and the Fort Smith Regional Chamber of Commerce sold us on the Fort Smith area. We are excited to become a part of the growing industrial development at Chaffee Crossing."

.."Critics have long feared that stimulants simply drug children into submission, turning youngsters into compliant robots with no will to engage in defiant behavior.But few studies have documented the effect of the drugs from the perspective of the children taking them.
So that's what Ilina Singh of King's College London and her colleagues did.
In the Voices on Identity, Childhood, Ethics and Stimulants (VOICES) study, they interviewed 151 American and British children aged 9 to 14 who were taking medication for ADHD between 2008 and 2010. Their conclusion? "On balance, children report that stimulant drugs improve their capacity for moral agency," Singh writes, explaining that most felt the drugs allowed them to make better choices. As an American 11-year-old girl told the researchers, "With medication, it's not that you're a different person; you're still the same person, but you just act a little better. Medication will help you control yourself."
A ten-year-old American boy put it this way: "Medication slows my brain down and makes good ideas stay longer." Another 10-year-old boy described his ADHD as a "blocker" that prevented him from going the right way. "[The medicine] opens the blocker so you can go [the right] way. But you still have the choice of going the wrong way," he said.
.....The series of studies continue to add to our knowledge about ADHD, and how best to treat symptoms to help students reach their full potential, both academically and socially. But they also highlight the complexity of the condition and the role of environmental factors, not just biology. For those who definitely have the disorder and who do not have intolerable side effects from medication, the results are increasingly clear: stimulant medications don't turn kids into zombies, but they may prevent crime— and not by suppressing choice, but by allowing freedom from destructive impulses. These drugs are far from a cure-all, but they are also not mere pacifiers..."

Place an order
Birdy was released in 1984 and directed by Alan Parker.
It won the Jury's Special Grand Prix in 1985 at the Cannes Film
Festival and is based on the novel of the same name by William
Wharton. It tells the story of two friends, Birdy and Al, played by
Matthew Modine and Nicolas Cage respectively, who are conscripted
to fight in Vietnam, where they both suffer different degrees of
mental and physical trauma. The film alternates between
scenes after their return from the war, which take place in the
military psychiatric hospital where Birdy is a patient, and the
back-story of the friends' early life together, told
chronologically in flashbacks.
The film begins after the friends have returned from the war and
are both in separate military hospitals. Birdy is seen squatting on
the floor of a bare cell looking up at the high window, in a
position suggestive of a bird. Al is returning from surgery to a
ward with his face in bandages, the result of severe burns
requiring skin grafts. Al is soon sent to visit Birdy, at the
request of Birdy's mother, in the hope that their friendship will
help to entice Birdy out of his bizarre unresponsive, mute state.
Al learns that Birdy was missing in action for a month in Vietnam
before being found and that he has not talked since then. Al starts
trying to communicate with his old friend using their shared
memories. At this point we see the first flashback from their
youth, in which Al catches sight of Birdy squatting high in the
branches of a tree, and learn that the neighbourhood children have
given him the nickname 'Bird Boy' or 'the weird kid'. As the
back-story progresses, Al and Birdy's unlikely friendship unfolds
as Birdy's singular passion for birds and flight draws Al in to
many daring and sometimes dangerous ventures.
In the scenes at the psychiatric hospital, Al
becomes more and more frustrated by Birdy's lack of response, and
his own need to reconnect with his friend becomes increasingly
apparent. Al chooses to withhold the important information about
Birdy's background from Dr Weiss, the psychiatrist, wanting to keep
the things that they did together private. The flashbacks begin to
reveal the development of Birdy's increasingly strange and abnormal
behaviour as he is seen trying to live in the pigeon coop like his
birds, and later when he strips naked to sleep in the large
birdcage with his female canary, whilst he experiences some erotic
fantasies centered on his pet. As well as this, Birdy's social
isolation and lack of interest in any intimate human sexual
relationship is brilliantly portrayed when Birdy's parents force
him to go to the school prom with a date. It later becomes clear
that Birdy believes that he will fly one day, using his own muscle
power, and that he can learn to talk to his pet birds. In fact in
one conversation with Al, Birdy states that he saw himself fly one
night and believed that he was a bird.
As Al becomes more angry and agitated by his
inability to connect with Birdy, we learn that he suffers from
flashbacks of the events that injured him, which occur during his
sleep and that wake him, drenched in sweat. He doesn't want anyone
to know that he is suffering in this way, but it becomes clear that
Al is struggling to maintain his own mental health. After having no
success in helping Birdy to speak again, Dr Weiss threatens to send
Al away, but Al makes one final request of the psychiatrist, that
he hopes might trigger Birdy's memory of their past friendship. By
this time, Al is desperate for Birdy's friendship and conversation
and the breakthrough comes as Al tells him, in tears, how awful he
is feeling. As Al sits holding Birdy close to him on the floor of
his cell, he is astonished when Birdy says "Al sometimes you're so
full of s**t". When Al asks him why he decided to talk, he replied
"I didn't, it just happened". The ending of the film must be left
for the viewer to experience.
This film provides an excellent opportunity to
discuss the development of a catatonic schizophrenic illness in a
young man, from his pre-morbid schizoid personality to his episode
of mute posturing in the pose of a bird, triggered by his
experiences of war. It also offers a platform to consider the
effects of traumatic war experiences on both young men.
As catatonic schizophrenia has become less common
in our society, perhaps because there is earlier intervention and
effective drug treatment for schizophrenia now available,
Birdy provides a very important opportunity for students
of all mental health professions to gain an understanding of the
condition. Catatonia is defined as a disturbance of motor behaviour
that may have a psychological or neurological cause. In its most
well known form, the individual may remain fixed and immobile in a
bizarre and uncomfortable position for a lengthy period of time
lasting days or even longer. It can also present with agitated
hyperkinetic behaviour. Catatonia, as a symptom, is associated with
a variety of mental disorders, only one of which is schizophrenia.
Other conditions associated with the symptom are brain disease,
mood disorders, drugs, alcohol and metabolic disturbances.
As outlined in the ICD-10 classification of mental
disorders, the diagnosis of catatonic schizophrenia is indicated if
there is pronounced psychomotor disturbance present, with a marked
decrease in reactivity to the environment. Bizarre postures may be
held for lengthy periods of time and mutism may be a feature. The
other features of schizophrenia, such as delusions and
hallucinations may also be present, but if a person is mute, this
will not always be possible to assess at the time of presentation.
The film provides a superb understanding of the importance that
past history plays in unraveling the possible causes of mutism.
Because Al withholds this important information from the
psychiatrist, there is no possibility of Dr Weiss understanding the
context in which Birdy has become unwell.
For further information about schizophrenia, the
Royal College of Psychiatrists website
has some useful pages.
Of particular interest in this film is the fact
that the story is not just about Birdy's mental illness, but also
about the effects on Al of his traumatic experiences in Vietnam. He
is seen to develop some of the symptoms of post-traumatic stress
disorder. This provides an additional platform for considering the
topic of PTSD, perhaps alongside a reading of the information at
Royal College of Psychiatrists website on
the condition. The
NHS choices website also has an
informative video featuring the personal account of a victim of the
7th July London bomb blast.
I would recommend this film for anyone interested
in general adult mental health and in particular for learning about
the development of a schizophrenic illness.

By David Lawder
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Senate on Sunday confirmed the head of the Federal Housing Administration in her position despite mounting losses the mortgage funding agency that some fear could eventually lead to a taxpayer bailout.
In a 69-24 vote, the Senate confirmed Carol Galante as an assistant secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Galante, a former affordable housing developer in San Francisco, had been running the FHA in an acting capacity since July 2011.
The FHA, a key source of mortgage funding for first-time home buyers and those with modest incomes, backs $1.1 trillion in U.S. home mortgages. Last month it reported a projected shortfall of $16.3 billion due to souring loans that it insured during the housing market downturn during the past several years.
An independent audit suggested that the FHA would require taxpayer funding for the first time in its 78 years, though that won't be decided until February when the Obama administration releases its next budget proposal.
In response to the shortfall, the agency raised the premiums it charges on guaranteed loans by one-tenth of a percentage point, adding, on average, about $13 to a borrower's monthly mortgage payment.
Senator Tim Johnson, the Democrat who heads the Senate Banking Committee, said Galante was "highly qualified" and attributed the FHA's problems to legacy loans that were still threatening the agency's finances.
"It is important that the FHA have a confirmed management team in place to continue oversight of these legacy loans," Johnson said prior to the vote.
Following the collapse of the private subprime mortgage market during the 2007-2009 financial crisis, FHA-backed loans took over as the sole financing source for nearly all of the lower end of the U.S. housing market, which has continued to struggle.
The deteriorated finances had caused some Senate Republicans not to support Galante, who prior to her current position ran multifamily housing programs for HUD.
She joined the agency in 2009 after serving as president of Bridge Housing Corp, the largest non-profit developer of affordable housing in California.
But Republican Senator Bob Corker, who had been one of her biggest critics, publicly dropped his opposition to her confirmation after she sent him a letter pledging to take certain steps to improve the agency's finances, including tightening lending standards for buyers with lower credit scores and limiting the amount of money that could be borrowed in the FHA's reverse-mortgage program.

9:30 pm. I'm beat and a more than a bit sunburned after a day spent in hot pursuit of the popemobile through Washington D.C. This afternoon I was on the campus of Catholic University, where Pope Benedict arrived at around 5:30 to attend Vespers and address the US Catholic bishops in the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.… READ MORE >

Perfect World International is the English-based, international version of Perfect World II, one of the most successful 3D MMORPGs with more than 50 million players worldwide. The game is inspired by Chinese Mythology and based in the mythical world of Pangu.
While boasting a level of artistic elegance not seen in other games of its genre, Perfect World International offers an immersive online world that players can enter free of charge. Additionally, it features one of the most in-depth character creation interfaces in any game, numerous quests full of lore and depth, and an extensive selection of items and fashions. Unique MMORPG features like Territory Wars will delight gamers and increase replay value as they explore and battle across the ever-expanding game world.
Unlike other games that charge subscription fees, Perfect World International is "Free-To-Play." Once inside the game world, players can earn and spend money to upgrade a large variety of items to enhance their game play experience. Players can acquire and begin using items in real-time without any disruption to game play. Digital goods that players can obtain in the Cash Shop include: items that can assist with mundane tasks such teleportation devices or consumables that aid player progress, others that reset or temporarily increase stats, expansion of storage capabilities, customizable fashion and equipment, such as mounts that allow faster movement and reduce travel time, social items and gifts that assist communication, and more.
Key Features:
- Customization – One of the most in-depth character creation interfaces, rivaling that of Mass Effect. Players can create and play as anyone, including themselves.
- Unique Classes – three unique races (Human, Winged Elf, and the Untamed), each with their own look, feel, and game mechanics. Each character class has different skill trees, which cater to the user's visual tastes as well as their intrinsic needs as a gamer.
- Guild/Clan System – Guilds enable chat between members, creation of guild emblems, guild versus guild battles, and control of existing territories.
- Territory Wars – Guilds can own territories and battle for their control. Weekly battles support up to 80 vs. 80 and winners receive a monetary reward determined by the amount of territory occupied.
- Mount System – Large selection of custom mounts, including flying mounts and the unique ability to mount and carry other players. Unlike World of Warcraft, players can actually fight while on their mounts both in PvP (Player vs. Player) and PvE (Player vs. Environment).
- Costumes – Players have the ability to fully express themselves through their in-game characters by customizing clothing, and creating fully personalized avatars. These customization items can be bought from the item mall or from other players.
- Free Roaming Map – Large variety of terrains and scenery and no "zoning" or front loading when entering a new area.
- Day/Night Cycle – To increase player immersion, the game shifts from night to day and sunny to rainy season on a regular cycle, changing the view of each area with time for realism.
- Consequence – Character's abilities can change based on their decisions and their allegiance to good and evil as they align themselves with either side.
- Marriage System – A complete marriage system where both players will have an online notice, and a wife/husband title. Marriage requires an item from the Cash Shop which is worth around 30$ in Perfect World item shop currency.
- Crafting System – Players can select and raise four different crafting skills. Blacksmithing (creates weapons), Tailoring (creates armor), Jewelry (creates various jewelry and arrows), and Pharmacist (creates potions and hierograms). Players will need materials for items they need to make. Crafted items will have the player's name adorned on them for the purpose of credit.
- World Events – Aside from day-to-day game play, players can also participate in World Events that regularly take place in the game and allow players to obtain unique items. The include treasure hunts, horse races, jungle ruins quests, etc.
- Exceptional Localization – Perfect World Entertainment has gone through great lengths to fully re-localize Perfect World into English, while at the same time ensure that the Chinese mythology and lore continue to enrich the end-user's experience.

—Elle Magazine
"Gabrielle is one of my most treasured soul sisters and a true 'Spirit Junkie' in the most fun and exhilarating ways imaginable! I read Gabby's books for spiritual life lessons on how to love myself and others more deeply and with authentic honesty. Open your hearts to this beautiful goddess-diva and, most important, discover the one that lives inside you!"
—Eliza Dushku
"A decade ago, young women like Ms. Bernstein might have been expected to chase the lifestyle of high heels and pink drinks…But now there is a new role model for New York's former Carrie Bradshaws…well versed in self-help and New Age spirituality…Ms. Bernstein is one of a circle of such figures, influenced less by the oeuvre of Candace Bushnell than that of Marianne Williamson."

Gabrielle Bernstein is a brilliant shining guide for all who seek to have more love, more light and more miracles in their life."

Board game's Gothenburg edition raises money for YCIP scholarships
Gothenburg has become the newest "hometown" to get its own game, thanks to 84 sponsors of this Gothenburg Chamber of Commerce fund-raiser for YCIP scholarships.
Hometown USA has teamed up with chamber officials and local businesses to make a board game exclusively for Gothenburg. Playing the game is like taking a stroll down a local business street.The Gothenburg edition of the Hometown USA Family Fun Board Game® is now available. The complete packaged game retails for $25 with the YCIP scholarship fund receiving $10.
The concept for the game was developed in the early 1990s by Jeff and Jackie Olsen of Platte, SD, but it wasn't until 2002 that the first game was actually produced.
The couple wanted to use the game to promote wholesome values while helping local organizations raise money. First Choice Productions, Inc., owned by the Olsen family, now brings this promotion to communities across the nation.
The game includes trivia questions in four areas: Bible, education, patriotism and health. Each game comes with a sheet of coupons for discounts at participating business sponsors.
Players roll the dice and move their marker around the yellow path that has 90 spaces—84 of which feature local sponsors.
Each player is given the outline of the United States flag. Successful answers on a trivia questions allow players to color in a stripe on their flags. The first player to completely color a flag wins.
To keep the game interesting, there are Group Favor Spaces where the person landing on the spot gets to do something special for other players in the game. That might mean dishing up some ice cream, popping some popcorn or getting beverages for the group. It's their choice.
The game is available for purchase at: Gothenburg Chamber of Commerce, Gothenburg Times, Peterson's Supermarket, Gothenburg Discount Pharmacy, Ribbons & Roses, Five Star Flooring, The Buss Stop, Pamida, Lasso Espresso, Dee's Floral & Gifts, Hicken Lumber & Home Center and K.O.A./British Imports Store. It is also displayed at Gothenburg State Bank.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency wants to eliminate passwords and use an individual's typing style and other behavioral traits for user authentication.
Creating, remembering and managing long, complex passwords is "inherently unnatural," the agency said on its Active Authentication site. And most active sessions don't have mechanisms to identify that the current user is still the one originally authenticated.
Biometric features such as fingerprints haven long been used in some two-factor authentication systems, but even then it only confirms a user's ID when logging in. DARPA is proposing behavior-based methods for continual verification.
Related stories:
Why so many bad passwords? Because the rules allow them.
One more reason why passwords are no darn good
The agency issued a Broad Agency Announcement solicitation in January for its Active Authentication program. Responses were due March 6.
The program is seeking new ways to identify users, based on intrinsic or behavioral traits. "Just as when you touch something [with] your finger you leave behind a fingerprint, when you interact with technology you do so in a pattern based on how your mind processes information, leaving behind a 'cognitive fingerprint," DARPA's statement said.
The first phase of Active Authentication will focus on researching biometrics that do not require additional hardware sensors, such as mouse and keystroke dynamics. An individual potentially could be identified by how fast he or she types or reads; what words he uses when creating a document or e-mail message; or how he moves the mouse across a page, DARPA said.
Later phases of the program will combine the biometrics with a new authentication program for standard Defense Department desktop or laptop PCs.
The program intends to combine its identification techniques into a continuous authentication process, so that the identity of a user at a machine is constantly being confirmed. The platform will be developed with open Application Programming Interfaces to allow for the easy addition of future biometric software and hardware, DARPA said.
"What I'd like to do," Richard Guidorizzi, DARPA product manager, said at last year's Cyber Colloquium in Arlington, Va., "is move to a world where you sit down at a console, you identify yourself, and you just start working, and the authentication happens in the background, invisible to you, while you continue to do your work without interruptions."
Interestingly, a 2010 DARPA-funded study by the National Research Council found biometrics to not be as reliable or accurate as people think, GCN reported when the study's results were released. The study, which was disputed by biometrics proponents, concluded that biometric systems were overly complex and inherently probabilistic, always leaving at least some room for error.

How do keystroke dynamics work? I type very differently when I am transcribing something compared to when I am writing stuff from my head. I even occasionally type one handed , albeit very slowly, while on the phone. Do I face the possibility of getting kicked off of my own workstation because I happen to be typing a shorthand note to myself while on the phone because I switch to typing with one hand and seriously changing the typing dynamic?
This is off topic and I am deeply sorry. Can you tell me where I can just send an e-mail to DARPA at all. I talk to NASA a bit and that is just 'e-mail NASA,' cool, huh, but I havn't really found an easy way to get in touch with DARPA. I am an old man and don't do twitter and blogs but I can be useful sometimes, although from what I've seen they don't need too much help. Hope you can help. Thanks.
This is not the right website, but it seems difficult finding any at all. NASA has a simple portal and an e-mail can just be sent easily and without fuss. I can have ideas and you had a Pheonix programme which I wanted to contact, but I cannot. I can do space junk you see but I don't Twitter or blog or bloot, I'm just an old man who can do space junk, that's all. What do I do?
LOL, obviously the pending budget cuts have not made an impression on DARPA regarding wants vs. mission needs.
I am doing my PhD in this topic. I do not agree with the above comments. I have implemented a prototype for keystroke dynamics for continuous authentication. It is accurate and does not require considerable memory or processing power. This is a grate project. But I have one suggestion, that a password is still required for the first time log in, and continuous authentication via mouse and keystroke dynamics.

The Safest Way to Update Sony Drivers
There are numerous of common warnings and other messages that you might get in the driver updating process, a number of which I've paraphrased and listed here together with tips on what to do:
Windows cannot verify that the driver is compatible: If you're sure this driver is the right one, touch or click Yes to continue installing it. Choose No if you think you might have the driver for the wrong model or something like that, in which case you should look for other INF files or maybe an entirely different driver download.
To download and update the driver for SONY VGN-AW110N yourself (If you know computers well)
It's best to let Windows install device drivers automatically. But if Windows can't find a driver for your SONY VGN-AW110N, you can look for a driver on the manufacturer's website of SONY. Driver updates are often available in the support section of such sites.
Once you find the updated driver, follow the installation instructions on the website. Most drivers are self-installing—after you download them, you usually double-click the file to begin the installation, and then the driver installs itself on your computer. What you should know is that a wrong driver may cause system malfunctioning which you should be careful about. Download a professional driver updater or find a geek to help you.
That error still there? You can Try DriverTuner
1. Click here to download DriverTuner and double click it to install
2. Scan your computer for outdated drivers. Select the drivers(here you should choose SONY VGN-AW110N) you want to update and click download
3. When the download process is finished, click SETUP to install them. Voila! Your driver for SONY VGN-AW110N has been updated. Sometimes a restart is required to put the changes into use.

No worker can stay on task 100% of the time; especially in our digital age where it's easy to hop online to post a Tweet, update Facebook or get lost clicking through slideshows of failed red carpet fashion looks.
Continue Reading Below
Despite the weak labor market forcing employers to demand workers do more with less, a recent survey from Salary.com found that the amount of time Americans waste at work jumped 5% from last year. Talking with co-workers was the biggest time killer followed by surfing the web and using social media. When it comes to surfing the web, news sites are the No.1 culprit of taking up workers' time.
To no one's surprise, the industry with the most wasted time is government followed closely by the energy and utility industries. Employees on the West coast tend to waste more time than their East coast counterparts.
What's more, the survey also found that 69% of respondents are unhappy in their job and 77% are considering looking for a new job.
In light of this data, employers really need to consider ways to keep their people engaged, happy and productive if they want to succeed in this economy. In my conversation with Abby Euler, general manager of Salary.com, we discussed some tips for managers to consider to keeping workers both happy and productive:
Take The Pulse. Not feeling appreciated or challenged were top reasons employees were actively looking for new jobs. More often than not, managers and executives don't really have their finger on the pulse of what's going on with their employers. They are so wrapped up in keeping their own heads above water that they forget about those who actually do the work.
When managers are too engaged in their work, they aren't leading their employees. Successful leadership starts with having conversations. Every manger should be having one-on-one conversations with their direct reports on a weekly basis to get regular updates on productivity and needed resources. The more time managers spend engaging their team, the less likely their workers are to jump ship.
Be Flexible. The survey found that most of the slacking off at work occurred between 3:00 and 5:00 pm. Knowing this, managers should slot this time for meetings, breaks, or urge workers to take leave during these hours.
With the exception of some jobs, employers can be far more flexible than they realize. Successful companies focus on getting the work done, not time punched on the clock. Euler says there isn't such a thing as "work-life balance," it's more about creating the right work-life blend. There are some personal tasks that have to be completed during work hours, and employers should try to be accommodating.
It's also important that employers pay attention to how people work and try to find ways to work with the natural strengths and rhythms of stars instead of working blindly against them.
Be Selfish. The survey found 43% of employees claim their No.1 time killer is talking with coworkers. This is hard for managers to combat because everyone wants their ear. As important as it is to engage workers, it's also important to disconnect from time to time to get centered.
Euler says managers need to "be selfish with [their] time" to remain sane and need to learn how to differentiate between idle chatter and quality engagement. Managers shouldn't be afraid to close their door or even work out of the office periodically to get work done.
"The notion of wasting time at work in its essence is subjective," says Euler. However, it is an issue managers need to take into account. We no longer live in a 9-to-5 world where the divide between work time and personal time is clear. Time is something we can never get back, so be sure to use it wisely.

Apparently the new tribe is called Kasama although I didn't hear how that name came to be.

text: The Muppets are still searching for another species like Gonzo. Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, along with his assistant Beaker, theorize that Gonzo may have come from an alien race, possibly the one that crash-landed in Roswell in 1947! The Muppets travel to "Area 51" and, after an encounter with a particularly surly MIB Agent (Terry "Hulk Hogan" Bollea), break in (with a little help from Bobo). They then find that Gonzo was the only of his race to escape from the crash-landing, and that he suffered from amnesia as a result of not being in contact with others of his own kind. Now that they are all together again, Gonzo regains his memory. He then realizes that, since he has returned, his race can return to their planet, via a odd-looking (you'll have to see it for yourself) spaceship. Now, Gonzo has to face an awful decision: will he leave his friends to return to his own kind, or will he stay with the muppets and deny his race the opportunity to return home at last?

The Buccaneers' rookie receiver caught seven passes for 209 yards and two touchdowns as Tampa Bay cruised to a 27-7 rout of the 3-7 Redskins on Sunday.
Evans, the seventh overall pick in this year's NFL Draft, beat safety Ryan Clark and cornerback Bashaud Breeland for a 36-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Josh McCown with 4:36 left in the third quarter.
Just 5:29 later, inside linebacker Perry Riley was left in single coverage on Evans, who easily beat him for a 56-yard bomb from McCown (15-of-23, 288 yards) to make it...

Crabs, or pubic lice, are tiny, barely visible parasites. They are usually found in the pubic hair, but can also be found in other body areas with short hair. This may include eyelashes, eyebrows, armpit hair, and mustache hair.
Pubic lice are commonly called crabs because they look like tiny crabs.
Crab lice are parasites. Parasites are insects that need to live off of another animal. Crab lice are spread by personal contact, usually during sexual activity. Less often, crab lice may also spread by sharing personal items. This can include sharing bedding, towels, and clothing.
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your risk of crab lice include:
- Sexual contact with someone who has crab lice
Contact with contaminated items, such as:
- Bedding
- Towels
- Clothing
Symptoms include:
- Itchiness that can range from mild to severe
- Tiny blue bumps on the skin
- Lice or eggs visible on hair
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor will be able to diagnose crab lice by the appearance of lice and lice eggs in your pubic area.
Your doctor may also check you for other sexually transmitted infections.
Over-the-counter shampoo or cream rinse containing permethrin or pyrethrins are used to treat pubic lice.
Some lice may be resistant to this treatment. For resistant cases, your doctor may advise:
- Malathion—A prescription topical medication approved only for those older than 6 years of age.
Lindane—A prescription topical medication.
- Note: Lindane should only be prescribed to patients who are unable to take other medications or who have not responded to them. According to the Food and Drug Administration's warning, lindane can rarely cause serious side effects, including seizure and death. Those especially susceptible are infants, the elderly, children and adults weighing under 110 lbs, and individuals with other skin conditions. It should also not be used in pregnant or lactating women or in people who have uncontrolled seizures. Lindane is a toxin and should not be overused. Patients are given small amounts (1-2 oz) of the shampoo or lotion and instructed to apply a very thin layer and not to reapply.
- Ivermectin—A medication given by mouth. It cannot be used in pregnant or lactating women.
To reduce the chance of getting crabs or spreading crabs:
- Limit sexual partners.
- Watch for signs of crabs, such as itching in the genital area.
- If you or someone in your house has had crabs, thoroughly wash and dry bedding, towels, and clothing.
- If you have had crabs, inform any sexual partners that they are at risk for crabs. Avoid sexual activity until partners have been treated.

What girl has never dreamed of being a princess in a castle, complete with a dashing prince to court her favor? Minus the prince, Maya's bat mitzvah delivered on all the fairytale elements. Her stunning bat mitzvah was held at the Reid Castle at Manhattanville College in Westchester, NY. Photography by Luciebelle Photography.
The grand Reid Castle at Manhattanville College was built in 1888-1892 by Whitelaw Reid following a fire that destroyed the original mansion. He and his wife decided to go big, rebuilding on a grand scale using stone that was quarried on the grounds. The result was a sprawling estate and a reception hall composed of two kinds of marble, all heavily influenced by french design.
A bat mitzvah is about coming of age, and there's one right of passage that most girls look forward to – stepping out in some serious heels. Maya is a trained dancer. She could handle it. She glowed in a ballet-inspired beaded dress with a floating tutu skirt.
Maya's Mom: "Maya's Dad designs restaurants and hotels, so we tried to create an elegant series of spaces within the historic Reid Castle space that had tall ceilings and dark wood work. We achieved an interplay between the new and old through lighting and Chinese lanterns. Without spending a fortune, we were able to bring warmth and Maya's grace and youthful spirit into a big, grand, almost intimidating space!"
The stunning decor was fit for a princess with lanterns and flowers in the official color of princesses… pink!
Bat Mitzvah Candle LightingThere were pink gift bags, pink candles, pink rose petals. Of course the cake had to be pink. Did we forget to mention pink?
The uplighting imparted a soft glow on the wood paneled walls.
MITZVAH PROJECT: Maya is a member of Off Center Dance Theatre at Dance Cavise in Mamaroneck, NY. OCDT performs for local children's hospitals.
At the end of the party, Maya and her dance friends changed into shorts and tank tops and performed one of their dances that the group performs as part of Off Center Dance Theater.
Maya's Dance Inspired Portrait Session, Brooklyn NY
Since Maya is a dancer, her mom Caren thought it would be great to do a dance inspired pre- bat mitzvah shoot.
After some convincing Maya agreed. They met in D.U.M.B.O Brooklyn and took these shots while wandering around the neighborhood for 2 hours. Maya was a great sport and coaxing payed off with some fantastic shots against the best backdrop in the world…New York City.
Mazel Tov to Maya and her family for sharing your special day with us!

Pipeline break causes closure of West Jefferson County roadway
Jefferson County Sheriff's Office responded to a report of a pipeline leak in west Jefferson County near the Chambers County line at about 7:30 a.m. The sheriff's office had received a call from a resident reporting the pipeline leak on Rollins Road at a pump station. The resident described the pipeline as "blowing its top and making a loud noise."
The first deputy on the scene determined that a release valve on the pipeline had ruptured, and Rollins Road was closed for about an hour and a half.

A Canadian journalist was wounded and her colleague, a German photographer, was killed Friday when an Afghan policeman shouting "God is Great!" opened fire on them with an AK-47 as they sat in a car in eastern Afghanistan.
Kathy Gannon, 60, who was born in Timmins, Ont., and Anja Niedringhaus, 48, were on assignment for the Associated Press news agency when the incident occurred on the outskirts of Khost.
Gannon, shot three times in the attack, underwent surgery and was reported in stable condition, according to the news agency.
Niedringhaus, an internationally acclaimed photographer, was killed instantly.
Gannon, who joined AP in the mid-1980s, has reported on Afghanistan for nearly three decades.
Considered the dean of foreign reporters in the war-wracked country, Gannon is known for her encyclopedic knowledge of the region and fearless pursuit of stories.
"Kathy Gannon's writing on Afghanistan helped shape my mental map of the country, and Anja Niedringhaus' pictures helped illustrate it," said Stephanie Levitz, a journalist with The Canadian Press who has reported from Afghanistan.
Gannon and Niedringhaus were in a convoy of election workers delivering ballots under the protection of the Afghan National Army and Afghan police when attacked.
Witnesses said they were in their own car with a freelancer and a driver waiting for the convoy to move when the unit commander walked up and opened fire on them.
The commander surrendered to other police and was arrested.
John Daniszewski, AP's vice-president and senior managing editor for international news, said Gannon and Niedringhaus often worked together as a team.
"Kathy Gannon is a brave and passionate journalist whose expertise and deep knowledge and experience of both Afghanistan and Pakistan have made her an indispensable authority on the region," Daniszewski said.
Murray Brewster, another Canadian Press reporter who has covered Afghanistan extensively, described her as "a colleague who was always so generous with her time and wisdom."
Globe and Mail reporter Les Perreaux called Gannon "one of those legendary reporters who never fails to be a generous mentor."
Gannon arrived in the Pakistani city of Peshawar in 1986.
Shortly after the 2001 U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan, the Taliban allowed her and a colleague into the country — the only journalists let in.
They covered the bombing campaign from Kabul by candlelight, with Gannon at one point thrown across the room as a bomb landed near the AP bureau.
Gannon, who went to high school in Timmins before studying at Cambrian College in Sudbury, Ont., has said she knew very early on in her career that she wanted to travel abroad but realized her options were limited with the Canadian media.
"I sold everything I owned, which wasn't much, and set out to become the foreign correspondent I'd always wanted to be," she wrote in her 2006 book, "I is for Infidel, From Holy War to Holy Terror: 18 Years Inside Afghanistan."
Afghanistan's violence has touched Canadian journalists on several occasions.
Calgary Herald reporter Michelle Lang was killed when the troop carrier she was in rolled over a roadside bomb in December 2009. Before that, Toronto Star reporter Kathleen Kenna was badly hurt in a grenade attack in 2002, while Radio Canada reporters, Patrice Roy and Charles Dubois, were seriously wounded by an improvised explosive device in 2007.
Gannon has been repeatedly recognized for her work. She won the International Women's Media Foundation Courage in Journalism award in 2002 and received the Edward R. Murrow fellowship from the Council on Foreign Relations during 2003-2004.

In this new post from Anson Cheung, he shows you a way to easily create nodes in an eZ Publish-based application, importing content, XML and files/files.
Node creation in eZ Publish by using PHP is not well documented. However, when you encounter a large number of contents need to be insert periodically. You would ask is there any way to automate the content insert function with script in eZ Publish??? Any here I am going to summarize the way to achieve.
He includes the code examples showing how to:
- Set the creator
- Import generic content and attaching it to a parent node
- Importing some XML content
- Adding an image or file record that points to a local file

DALLAS, March 10 (UPI) -- AT&T over the weekend announced that it will offer its 2GB Mobile Share Value data plan at $65, $15 lower than it previously did.
The announcement comes amid an intense price war being waged by the top three wireless providers: Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T. The newly priced plan will include one phone line on 4G LTE, 2GB of data, plus unlimited talk and text in the U.S. The deal also includes free international texting to certain countries.
AT&T made the announcement days after close rival T-Mobile maintained the price for unlimited 4G LTE access at $70, but limited it to 5GB instead of the unlimited access it was providing earlier. T-Mobile is bumping up its $50 per month plan from 500MB to 1GB, and the $60 per month plan from 2.5GB to 3GB. T-Mobile is also planning on announcing unlimited texting from the U.S. to over 120 countries.
The fight between AT&T and T-Mobile has been intensifying, with both service providers fighting for the second spot behind market leader Verizon.
T-Mobile added 4.4 million customers in 2013, the strongest growth it has seen in eight years, and even promised to pay the cancellation fee for those wishing to switch over from other carriers. Verizon, though not as deeply involved in the price war, also increased the amount of data its subscribers could access.

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – A grinding running game that rolled up 207 yards exploded in the third quarter when sophomore Craig Needhammer (Lansdale, Pa./North Penn) bounced outside for a 61-yard touchdown to help seal the Lycoming College football team's 21-13 win over Lebanon Valley in Middle Atlantic Conference action on Saturday, Sept. 15 at David Person Field.
Needhammer crossed the 100-yard barrier for the second time in his career, as he ran 15 times for 101 yards, including the career-long 61-yard score. Senior Parker Showers (Aspers, Pa./Biglerville) added 22 carries for 71 yards, as Lycoming (2-1 overall, 2-0 MAC) controlled the ball for 34:18, helping overcome a first-quarter lead by the undefeated Flying Dutchmen (2-1 overall, 1-1 MAC).
Showers also set a school record for career kickoff return yards, as he posted two returns for 52 yards to give him 990 yards, as he passed Ricky Lanetti (2000-03), who posted 987 in his career, for the top spot in the Warrior record book.
"We're happy," head coach Mike Clark said, "but we still think we can do better. That is a good Lebanon Valley team."
The Dutchmen got on the board with the aid of a punt catching interference call to start a seven-play, 37-yard drive late in the first quarter, capping it with a 35-yard field goal from Sean Fakete.
The Warriors responded quickly, as Needhammer ripped off a nine-yard run to get the ball to the Lycoming 36 before sophomore quarterback Tyler Jenny (Coalport, Pa./Glendale) found senior Jarrin Campman (Clearfield, Pa./Clearfield) for a 17-yard completion as time expired on the first quarter.
With the first play of the second quarter, Jenny loaded up a play-action completion over the middle to Campman, who found paydirt to give Lycoming a 7-3 lead.
Three plays later, sophomore Ryan Mihoci (Murrysville, Pa./Franklin Regional) popped the ball out of the rushing Lebanon Valley player and into the arms of junior linebacker Tyler Denike (South Boardman, Mich./Forest Area). Seven plays later, Showers found the end zone with a one-yard run to give Lycoming a 14-3 lead.
The Dutchmen closed the gap to four points by halftime, as they used an interception at the their 40-yard line and matched 60 yards on seven plays as Joey Miller made an acrobatic catch in the right corner with 4:15 left in the half.
In the second half, the Warriors sped the game up through a bruising running game, tossing the ball just six times and running it 27 times for 125 yards, helping them gain eight first downs. Meanwhile, the defense held its ground, allowing 143 yards.
Both teams started the half with long drives that netted nothing before the Warriors forced a 3-and-out thanks to a big stop by Denike on 3-and-1 from the Lebanon Valley 29, setting up a punt, which put the ball at the Lycoming 39. Needhammer responded with his run, crossing to the left side of the field and running into the end zone with four Dutchmen chasing behind.
"That was great," Needhammer said. "It really helped the momentum of the game. The line did a great job all day and that just put the icing on the cake. I saw the line and I saw the safety there and all I saw was a streak of blue come from the left (Sibel). That's awesome. I got to get to the outside after that."
After a four-play Lebanon Valley drive, the Warriors started a 14-play, 41-yard drive that ate nearly 10 minutes off the clock, but it ended with 5:11 left in the fourth quarter when junior Zack Czap (Phillipsburg, Pa./Philipsburg-Oscelola) delivered a perfect 30-yard punt that was downed at the 1-yard line.
The Dutchmen stood tall on a tough 15-play drive in response, converting on two third-down plays and one 4-and-12 in which Leo Kyte found Miller for a 44-yard completion. However, three straight incompletions at the Lycoming 11 led to Fakete hitting a 28-yard field goal to make it 21-13 with 2:16 left.
The ensuing on-sides kick went out of bounds, and Lycoming ran the ball three times, but was forced to punt again just more than a minute left after Lebanon Valley used all of its timeouts. Once again, Czap pinned the Dutchmen deep, dropping it down at the 15-yard line and a delay of game penalty pushed the Dutchmen back five more yards. On the ensuing 2-and-10, Mihoci clinched the win for the Warriors with a diving interception and the Warriors downed the ball twice to end the game.
Jenny performed well again behind center, completing 15-of-23 passes for 168 yards and a touchdown. He was intercepted once. Campman led the receiving corps with four catches for 74 yards and a touchdown and sophomore John Sibel (Morrisville, Pa./Pennsbury) added five catches for 40 yards.
Pete Panichi led the Dutchmen running game, as he posted 12 carries for 45 yards. However, they were held to just 90 yards on 30 carries, their lowest total since 2010. Kyte completed 14-of-26 passing for 169 yards and a touchdown. He was intercepted and sacked once. Miller led the receiving corps with nine catches for 107 yards.
Junior Kabongo Bukasa (Sharon Hill, Pa./Academy Park) led the team with seven tackles and one for loss and the group of senior Matt Talerico (Moosic, Pa./Riverside), sophomore Tanner Troutman (Hegins, Pa./Tri-Valley) and senior Corey Schuster (Moosic, Pa./Riverside) each posted six tackles. Senior Nate Oropollo (Aldan, Pa./Cardinal O'Hara) notched his fifth sack of the season and senior Roger Jayne (Harveys Lake, Pa./Lake Lehman) added two tackles for loss and a half-sack. Sophomore Kody Flail (Frackville, Pa./North Schuylkill) added three breakups and Mihoci posted three tackles, a forced fumble and a pick.
Ryan Melley led the Dutchmen with 11 tackles and David Kennedy added nine. Jared Cicero posted an interception and Jerome Duncan posted five tackles, a breakup and a blocked field goal.
The Warriors will face off with try to knock off another undefeated MAC program next week when it visits 3-0 Albright for another critical conference clash at 1 p.m.

Lawrence, a junior from Omaha, Neb., posted first-place finishes in two events at the Nebraska Wesleyan Invite on Jan. 20. His time of 6.73 topped a field of 37 runners in the 60-meter dash and placed him second this season behind Aquinas' (Mich.) Rumeal McKinney in that category. Lawrence then clocked in at 21.74 in the 200-meter dash, vaulting him to the top of this season's NAIA leaderboard. He gained NAIA All-America status in both events at the 2011 National Championships.
Wickham, a senior and Phillipsburg, Kan., native, blew away a field of 46 participants in the weight throw at the Nebraska Wesleyan Invite on Jan. 20. His mark of 69' 5 ¼" put him comfortably in front of all other competitors and is far-and-away the top weight throw in the NAIA this season. The next best weight throw on the season came from Hastings' Cody Weber, whose 60' 9 ¼" mark is a full 8' 8" short of Wickham's top measurement. The last NAIA competitor to approach Wickham's mark was Doan's Will Moman with a weight throw of 69' 4" in 2006.
