It's been a fairly humdrum NBA season in San Antonio thus far—at least for the Spurs' standards.
Though most teams would be praised relentlessly for a 23-8 record, the Spurs' superb start is habitual in the Alamo City, expected by fans, teams and analysts around the league.
While often credited with flying under the radar, the veteran team's dramatic exit from last year's playoffs has given them recognition amongst the league's best.
San Antonio's early dominance is nothing short of expected, but the team has experienced quite a few surprises in the first few months of the season, namely their lone rookie, Nando de Colo.
While the de Colo is not a standout rookie among the rest of the 2012 class, the French guard has been impressive despite posting unimposing statistics.
He made his first impression with a buzzer-beater in the preseason to give the Spurs a last-second victory. Being handed the ball with the game on the line may be nerve-wracking, and the young guard stepped up.
He's yet to miss a game-winner in the NBA.
Since then, he has been used sparingly, although plenty know his name.
In a crowded Spurs backcourt, de Colo has established himself as a fan favorite, and a crafty and exciting player off the bench.
Though he doesn't possess quite the talent of the Argentinian shooting guard, de Colo does bear a striking resemblance to Manu Ginobili.
As a crafty passer, impressive scorer and all-around compelling player, de Colo is a player on the rise for a team that could use a breakthrough youngster to accompany Kawhi Leonard in the coming years.
However, unlike Leonard, who was given a large role from the get-go—even starting by the end of his rookie campaign—de Colo struggles for court time, which is expected considering the overflow of talent existing in the Spurs' guard rotation.
Despite his mere 12.3 minutes per game, the guard is not an abstraction in San Antonio. He has shined in individual moments, hinting at what might occur should he be given an increasing role.
In the four games in which he logged over 20 minutes, de Colo has averaged 11.5, 5.5 assists and 5.0 rebounds—noteworthy stats especially when considering the opponent.
His most impressive performance came against the Miami Heat, when the Spurs decided to rest four of their best players.
The rookie almost led the shorthanded squad to an improbable victory over the defending champions.
De Colo finished with 15 points (on .500 shooting) and five assists, establishing season highs in scoring and minutes—a direct relationship that could prove consistent should his time be increased.
And while this indication of what could come should evidence the necessity for a role increase alone, allotting him more minutes may be necessary anyway.
Tony Parker is currently averaging 34 minutes per game, something that is surprising considering Gregg Popovich's desire to limit his aging stars' playing time. Even more so than Parker, rest for Ginobili is becoming mandatory, who recently admitted to his deteriorating body as he grows older.
"I couldn't keep up," Ginobili told Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express News LINK. "(Parker and Duncan) were unbelievable. They've been great all season long. I just joined in today."
If the Spurs expect him to produce in the playoffs, reducing Ginobili's minutes is a must, and de Colo—with his incredible parallels—is their best bet to produce in his place. If the French rookie is expected to one day take his place as the team's X-factor, his integration as one of the team's top playmakers should start early, as Leonard's did just a year ago.
Nando de Colo is one of the top youngsters in an otherwise veteran team. Although their intentions may be to win a championship now, preparing for the future is still an intelligent idea.
He may not be one of the league's best rookies, but the young guard has certainly made an impression in San Antonio. With multiple innuendos implying that the move would be a good idea, the Spurs need to reduce the minutes of their aging stars, and distribute them to de Colo, who is fully capable of handling a larger role.
Go Spurs Go!
If he keeps doing what he's doing,he'll get more minutes as the season goes on and then as is Pop's usual history find himself parked on the bench during the playoffs.
Since you can't fix stupid, at least you should be able to prosecute it!
'Am sure Pop knows what he's doing and will do the right thing - 'not sure we need Garrett whoever to mentor Pop in the media...
He's a rookie, and Pop tends to bring 'em along slowly. Remember SJax' first year with the Spurs. He barely sniffed the court, did his time and the work and became a beast in his second year.
I love the Manu-like flashes from Nando. We'll see more of it in 2013-4.

I'm not sure if this should go here, in the pumping section, or the too much milk section, so please move it if it is in the wrong place
Toby is 2 months old today and breastfeeding has been an uphill struggle, but thanks to perseverance and the support of people around me (including this forum), we are finally getting there. I am posting this as a separate thread as I have some specific questions, but the full story is here:
Anyway, now that I appear to be managing to exclusively BF (hooray!), I am having some issues with my supply. I have been using a double hospital grade pump for about 2 or 3 weeks (was using a personal electric pump before that but was advised to get something more powerful) as well as taking fenugreek to ensure I had enough milk. I was advised that if I was exclusively pumping and bottle feeding, I should double pump 8-10 times a day for a total of 120 minutes. I managed this most days, but I was also trying to BF Toby, so wasn't truly EPing.
After seeing the lactation consultant yesterday, Toby has only had a bottle twice and I have been BFing the rest of the time. I think I may have developed a bit of oversupply. I have a small stash in the freezer (around 500-600 ml) and since yesterday my breasts have become very engorged, and I had to pump yesterday evening and this evening to relieve the pressure. Toby seems to only need one breast each feed, so the other one doesn't get 'emptied', whereas when I was pumping I would 'empty' both. This is leaving one breast fuller than the other, so by the time he next comes to feed 2 or 3 hours later, I am bursting!
He seems to cope well with a full breast, but I am concerned I am getting some lumps and am a bit worried about developing mastitis. Also, I know a full breast means he gets a lot of the foremilk, and I am concerned he may not be getting enough of the high calorie stuff, though no green frothy poops so far.
I'm not sure what to do regarding the pumping and fenugreek. I know I should pump each time he has a bottle to ensure I keep my supply, is this also the case if (as I suspect) I have a bit of oversupply? Is it enough to pump once a day or should I increase it (or not pump at all)? Should I continue with the fenugreek?
I understand these early weeks are very important in establishing supply and I don't want my milk to dry up so am scared to stop the fenugreek and pumping (especially as his latch still isn't great) but I don't want to create a massive oversupply either.
Any advice most welcome

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two U.S. lawmakers urged Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to ensure that the Air Force complied with a law requiring the service to buy three high-altitude Global Hawk unmanned planes built by Northrop Grumman Corp that it had tried to cancel.
Representatives Buck McKeon, the Republican who heads the House Armed Services Committee, and Jim Moran, a Democrat from Northrop's home district in Virginia, sent Hagel a strongly worded letter in which they accused the Air Force of ignoring congressional mandates by failing to procure the spy drones.
A copy of the letter, which was dated May 13, was obtained by Reuters late on Thursday.
The Air Force had proposed mothballing the Global Hawk Block 30 program in its fiscal 2013 budget request, arguing that it would be less expensive to keep flying manned U-2 spy planes given pressure to reduce funding.
However, Congress rejected those plans, reinstated funding to keep the fleet of Block 30 planes flying, and ordered the Air Force to buy three final Global Hawk Block 30 planes.
The Pentagon proposed the same programmatic cut in its fiscal 2014 budget, for projected savings of $324 million.
McKeon and Moran said Congress rejected the plan to mothball the Global Hawk program because it was based on "highly questionable assumptions." They say the Air Force is ignoring "unambiguous" instructions to buy the three last Global Hawk aircraft, using previously authorized and appropriated funds.
Air Force officials had indicated during a May 9 hearing that they were was "petitioning for 'relief' from congressional intent," the lawmakers told Hagel.
"We encourage you to deny these efforts and ensure that the Air Force is in compliance with current law," McKeon and Moran wrote in the letter, which was dated May 13.

If you have been following the classic carry trade of late you may have noticed the best "risk on" vs. "risk off" indicators available to traders and investors. If not this may help. The Australian Dollar vs. the Japanese Yen has been one of the primary carry trades of the past five to 10 years.
As you probably know, the carry trade involves selling a low yielding currency to finance the purchase of higher yielding currency to make money on interest rate spread. Textbook risks = changes in interest rates and/or central bank interventions.
Right now the Australian 10-year bond yields ~3.35% and the Japanese 10-year yields ~0.74%
Some context
The Japanese just elected a new Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe of the Liberal Democratic Party. Abe held the same position between 2006 and 2007, but left for health reasons . There have been five others to hold the office since Abe departed with the longest tenured being Yoshihiko Noda of the Democratic Party, who held the position for 481 days. Is Japanese job security a thing of the past?
Abe has vowed publicly to force the Bank of Japan to replace it's slack 1% target for inflation with a binding 2% target and is willing to undertake "unlimited easing" to achieve the goal. To this point, Shinzo makes Charles (The fire-hose) Evans look like an inflation hawk.
Going back to the AUD/JPY indicator, it is interesting to see how risk markets performed in the months following the Aussie/Yen cross trading north of 87.50 and given this history and the fact that the AUD/JPY has recently crossed this threshold again, whether it will be different this time?
The cross traded over 87.50 at a number of "interesting" points for the broad market: Early September of 2008, late April of 2010, late April of 2011 and mid-March 2012 (see chart below).

Joint project results in verification solution for multi voltage power management
SAN JOSE, CA AND CAMBRIDGE, UK – July 24, 2006 – ARM [(LSE:ARM); (Nasdaq:ARMHY)] and ArchPro, today announced success in a joint R&D project to validate advanced multi-voltage power management design techniques. Employing ARM® Intelligent Energy Manager (IEM™) technology and validated with ArchPro's Multi-Voltage Simulator Tool (MVSIM) resulted in an EDA tool for pre-tapeout verification of power-managed designs. The project produced working 65-nanometer (nm) silicon for a complex reference system-on-chip (SoC) design jointly verified by the two companies. The SoC used an ARM processor with IEM technology demonstrating a number of active and sleep modes, to vary power and performance.
"MVSIM has proven its ability to verify sophisticated voltage schemes prior to tapeout and it is a verification solution applicable to a variety of multi-voltage schemes, including adaptive voltage scaling, power gating, and back bias", said John Goodenough, director, Design Technology, ARM "We expect the ARM Partner community can benefit by leveraging this work as a reference."
IEM technology-based IP is viewed as an industry-leading power-management solution. IEM technology-based IP can save users up to 60 percent battery life using adaptive clock frequency and voltage scaling. MVSIM enables IEM technology-based IP users to verify sophisticated voltage control schemes before tapeout. To validate MVSIM's capabilities, the two companies successfully collaborated on the verification of a reference 65nm SoC design using an ARM processor and the ARM Intelligent Energy Controller (IEC).
MVSIM enables users to make system-level architectural decisions at RTL related to multi-voltage techniques including dynamic voltage scaling, power gating, and back bias. MVSIM works with mainstream simulators like ModelSim, NC-Sim, and VCS enabling users to verify multi-voltage designs at the RTL level. There is no restriction on how the islands are organized. MVSIM supports any arbitrary partition in the hierarchy, including nested islands and domains.
"Multi-voltage chip designers have settled for verification of power management after the silicon has been created," said Pratap Reddy, ArchPro chairman and CEO. "ARM IEM technology-based IP leads in offering multi-voltage design, and together we help the SoC design community realize significant power savings without risk to functional silicon. With MVSIM, users can easily perform verification prior to silicon spins with no change to their existing flows."

LONDON (AP) — Britain's Treasury chief George Osborne said Wednesday that the recovery of the U.K. economy is taking longer than he had hoped and warned more spending cuts will be needed to get public finances under control.
With official growth forecasts cut, Osborne had little room for maneuver but said he was trimming departmental spending to generate more investment in infrastructure.
"It has taken time, but the British economy is healing," Osborne told the House of Commons, though the latest estimate from the independent Office for Budget Responsibility forecasts a 0.2 percent contraction in the economy this year.
In his scheduled update to budget policies, Osborne essentially stuck to his plan of cutting government deficits to promote recovery. But he did accept to increase investments to stimulate employment and demand, as called for by the opposition Labour Party.
Osborne said the paltry recovery in the U.K. and a recession in the 17 European Union countries that use the euro will mean Britain's economy would only grow by 1.2 percent next year, down from the 2 percent it predicted in March.
"It's not the rest of the world's fault, it is your policies which have failed," said Ed Balls, speaking for the Labour Party.
Osborne confirmed that his target for public sector debt to start dropping as a percentage of GDP by 2015-2016 has also been pushed back a year.
"Today was the day (Osborne) started to acknowledge that this is a long-tail recovery rather than a trampoline bounce back to good times," said Scott Corfe, senior economist at the Center for Economic and Business Research.
As a result of the revised forecasts, government spending will be cut a further 1 percent next year and 2 percent the year after. As well as spending cuts, Osborne also announced a cut in tax relief on the pensions of higher-rate tax payers and a cap on welfare payments.
The taxation and spending measures announced Wednesday were forecast to yield an additional 3.9 billion pounds ($6.3 billion) to government income this year. Some 3.5 billion pounds of that sum is expected from a one-time auction of 4G mobile telecoms licenses.
Osborne announced that the government would crack down on tax avoidance, increase infrastructure investment by 17 percent, raise tax deductions for capital investment by businesses 10-fold and cut corporation tax to from the current 22 percent to 21 percent in 2014-15. Osborne said this compares with corporation tax of 40 percent in the U.S., 33 percent in France and 29 percent in Germany.
Economists noted the investment projects would help to create jobs, though some suggested the overall impact on the economy would be negligible.
Toby Ryland at HW Fisher & Co. chartered accountants said Osborne was supporting the corporate sector at the expense of ordinary taxpayers. "The reduction in corporation tax is being funded through below-inflation increases in (personal) tax bands and the restriction of pension tax relief," he said.
Households were promised an increase in the personal exemption from income tax and, for the elderly, a 2.5 percent boost in the basic state pension to 110.15 pounds a week.
Banks were excluded from the lower corporation tax, and the government is increasing the Bank Levy — a tax on the balance sheets of banks — to 0.13 percent to keep annual revenue at 2.5 billion pounds.
The Treasury also estimates that it will be able to recoup up to 5 billion pounds in lost tax by 2015-16 thanks to a new agreement with Swiss banking authorities.
Osborne also announced several capital investment projects including tax incentives to promote the production of shale gas. At the same time, the Department of Energy and Climate Change announced plans to build more gas-fired generating plants to replace aging coal, nuclear and gas plants. A 1 billion pound loan was also announced to extend the London tube network.
"While the U.K.'s safe-haven status still looks secure, today's statement does nothing to alter the poor fiscal and economic outlook," said Vicky Redwood, chief U.K. economist at Capital Economics.
Osborne said the government was considering allowing stocks and shares ISA (tax-deferred individual savings accounts) in smaller stock markets such as AIM, which lists smaller companies with less traded shares.
Flora Maudsley-Barton, director of Parsonage Financial Planning, called the idea "borderline crazy."
"The vast majority of investors don't understand 'illiquid,' but they will do so very quickly if they go down this route," she said.
Coming days will tell whether any parts of the budget plans backfire against the government, as happened with the budget announced in May.
Osborne then presented a series of unpopular measures that not only gave a tax cut to the wealthiest taxpayers, but eventually led to embarrassing reversals on his plans to raise taxes on hot meat pies, reduce tax relief for charitable donations, and to go ahead with a hike in the tax on auto fuels.

History of the little girl's underwear
As you all probably agree, it is almost indispensable part of little girls' chest of drawers.
There was always need to warm the feet and legs. First it was solved by some strips of linen bent around the legs. At the beginning of medieval age first stockings appeared. Because they weren't elastic, there was need to fix them on the leg by thin ribbon wrapped around the leg. It was the first garter (or suspender). Most likely it was worn by highborn little girls too. Underwear of this time was represented by long chemise. (Rarely short underpants were worn by women, but IMHO not by little girls.)
(See below – left picture)
Later, after knitting techniques were invented, first elastic stockings apppeared, but they still needed to be fixed. in those times (18th century), women and girls wore underpants, which were often connected with short chemise into one part. If you're trying to guess how they used toilet (in that times, nobility used big wardrobe with seat with pot inside), be sure that these ancient underpants were open in crotch, which allowed somehow convenient using of toilet. It is interesting that little girls usually wore underpants longer than their dress.
(See below – right picture)
(This illustration is work of my own)
At the end of the 19th century, underpants gets shorter, until they ends in the middle of thigh. In those times stockings were buttoned to trouser-leg. It lasted to the twenties of the 20th century. It can be nicely seen in Swedish movies Meg of June Hill (Madicken på Junibacken) and You're out of Your Mind, Meggie (Du är inte klok Madicken). There you can notice even buttons on the stockings.
(See below – left picture)
Later the panties got even shorter and became about as big as present "boxers". They had no rubber band in the waist, so they needed to be bound by ribbon or had to have a slit on side. In those times, short stocking were fixed by a thin ribbon around the edge. Long stockings used garter belt, looking almost like the present one. Note that garter belt is worn over panties only on advertisement photos, normally is worn UNDER panties.
(Garter belt is marked by broken line.)
(See below – right picture)
(This ilustration is work of my own)
Children stockings were mostly black or white. Stockings were similarly worn by boys. We are still talking about rich people or town dwellers. In the countryside, stockings looked like woolen knee-highs and people were pantyless till about the fifties of the 20th century.
All these ancient variants maybe looks pretty, but it wasn't comfortable and convenient at all, mainly for little fingers of that-time princesses. Ribbons loosed, stockings fell and garters got unbraced… After the end of WWII the tights were invented. They became children domain, until the seventies of the 20th century, when miniskirts became popular, and women tights started to be produced. In that moment, nylon tights started to be available for little girls. I do not know when little girls really started to wear these nylon stockings and later nylon tights. Following information is about the situation in Eastern Europe. If any of you is able to add information how it was in the sixties and seventies in his/her country, I'll be very glad.
In our country in those years, tights were not very popular among children. They were not elastic and often slipped down from the legs. Available colors were white, red, light blue, patterned (rarely) and some horrible yellowish-brown, worn by boys and girls as well. Similar colors were available for nylons. Girls often wore blue gym shorts instead of panties. These gym shorts had rubber band not only in waist but also around the thighs. And they had a pocket on the back. Little girls wore them all the time, because boys weren't interested in shorts and didn't want to lift their skirts.
Panties became looking like modern ones in the middle of the fifties of the 20th century. And during the present century there appeared short panties, tanga, thongs, panty, etc. But wearing of thongs by little girls is not recommended by doctors, because while active movement (children are usually more physically active than adults) the thin string in the crotch literally transports faecal germs form anus area right into the vulva.
Today's situation is different. There is really wide choice of tights available in shops. Many colors, many patterns, striped, with pictures, fleece warm tights, etc. They contain Lycra or other elastic fibres, and they don't slip down at all. Many little girls love them.

Stockings are worn sometimes, mostly knitted, and often called "thigh-high socks"

Also the leg warmers are used.

And feetless tights – leggings too.

These kinds of leg-wears just fit to little girls perfectly. But some doctors warns from wearing nylons in infant age because some adult women's gynecological problems were spreading among little girls. It is not healthy (except for being outside in very low external temperatures) to wear tights under trousers.
It is interesting that I noticed several times that little girl was very proud when she got her first nylons when she was 5 or 6 years old.

Scarlett & Matthew's short film for D&G
Every fragrance ad these days is a short film. In black and white. Remember, they're all arty about it too. Don't call it a commercial. "Short film" is its proper classification, thank you Robert Pattinson. Pattinson's "short film" for Dior was built up for us like it was supposed to be some kind of awesome creative achievement and instead all we got was an imitation of James Dean.
So here's the latest "short film" from Dolce&Gabbana starring Scarlett Johansson and Matthew McConaughey. You like it? I love it. I love that it evokes a 1960s kind of glamour, a time when women wore headscarves and smoked cigarettes in cigarette holders, and actually does succeed in capturing that "modern twist", an expression overused and rarely achieved.
Because it's not earnest. There's a cheeky self-awareness to this "short film", especially on Scarlett's part that grounds it. She doesn't take you entirely out of the narrative, but there's enough of a wink here so that you know she knows they're really just selling cologne here. And that's why it works.

|TAAL VOLCANO BULLETIN, 27 April 2011, 8:00 A.M.
|Wednesday, 27 April 2011 06:21
Taal Volcano's (14.0000°N, 120.9833°E) seismic network recorded twelve (12) volcanic earthquakes during the past 24 hours. Field measurements conducted yesterday at the western sector inside the Main Crater Lake showed that the water temperature increased from 30.1°C to 31.8°C. Result of the ground deformation survey (precise leveling) conducted around the Volcano Island last 05-11 April 2011 showed that volcano edifice is slightly inflated as compared with the 02-09 February 2011 survey.
Alert Level 2 is hoisted over Taal Volcano with the interpretation that magma has been intruding towards the surface, as manifested by CO2 being released in the Main Crater Lake and sustained seismic activity. Hence, PHIVOLCS advises the public that the Main Crater, Daang Kastila Trail and Mt. Tabaro (1965 -1977 Eruption Site) are strictly off-limits because sudden hazardous steam-driven explosions may occur and high concentrations of toxic gases may accumulate. Breathing air with high concentration of gases can be lethal to human, animals and even cause damage to vegetation. In addition, it is reminded that entire Volcano Island is a Permanent Danger Zone (PDZ), and permanent settlement in the island is strictly not recommended. DOST-PHIVOLCS is closely monitoring Taal Volcano's activity and any new significant development will be immediately relayed to all concerned.

"The word prompt for the 16th Edition of Smile For The Camera is "Bling, ancestor Bling." I am always drawn to the beautiful jewelry worn by our ancestors in old photographs. The locket that was your Great Grandmother's treasure, the pocket watch proudly displayed by a male ancestor, the beautiful crosses of old, and the children with their tiny bracelets. While not many of our ancestors were wealthy enough to own multiple pieces of jewelry, there was the one good piece that held sentimental value. Some of us have been fortunate enough to inherit those treasures. Show us a photograph of your ancestor wearing their "Bling," or photographs of the pieces you have inherited. Admission is free with every photograph!"
My great-grandmother Mary Tennessee Turner, "Mawmaw" Rogers, had a beautiful oval broach that she loved to wear. That simple, yet elegant pin was always perfectly positioned just above her bosom, no matter what dress she wore. It is one of my earliest memories, it seems. As I recall, it had a raised ivory image of a woman's profile set into a darker gray ceramic background, rimmed in gold.
I have no idea where the broach came from, other than the original image of Sarah Vance wearing it in an old tin-plate image from about 1865. I cannot remember my Mawmaw ever wearing any other type of jewelry, in fact. Not even a wedding band. Only her glasses and the broach.
Fast-forward about 40 years. My Mawmaw Rogers has been gone for many years now. Old photographs and the memories of a child remain. But what of that wonderful broach? I haven't seen it in many years. I believe my aunt has it now, safely tucked away. As it should be. A very old and very wonderful reminder of tall ceilings, faded and torn wallpaper and hot tea with lemon.
The earliest image here is of my great-great grandmother Sarah Sharpe Vance, my Mawmaw Rogers' mother, from about 1865. She's the lady on the right. The last photo of my Mawmaw Rogers is from about 1969, 2 years before her death at age 91.
The broach reappeared for a final time on 7 May 1994, when my cousin Mary (Mary Tennessee's namesake) wore it on her wedding day:

What, you want more?
Ruben Amaro Jr. will keep listening as the trade market matures to its deadline Sunday at 4 p.m. but the Phillies general manager is likely done dealing after acquiring Hunter Pence.
"We'll keep our minds open," Amaro said. "But right now I'm very comfortable with our ballclub."
A possible spot that could still be upgraded for cheap is the bullpen, but Amaro issued a vote of confidence for his current unit.
"I like the way Brad Lidge has come back and thrown the way he's thrown," Amaro said. "We're cautiously optimistic about [Jose] Contreras. And the kids have been great in the bullpen."
The Phillies will probably have two roster moves to make before Saturday's game -- one for Pence and another for Placido Polanco, who is expected to be activated from the disabled list.
Domonic Brown could be sent to the minors despite comparable numbers to Raul Ibanez. If Brown's new future position in this organization is left field, the team likely wants him to begin the crash course there as soon as possible.
Brown seemed resigned to his fate Friday night.
"I just hope I'm here and not in triple A," Brown said. "If that was to happen, I will go out and play."
Wilson Valdez's time with the Phillies could also be over (temporarily). Valdez has no options remaining and must clear waivers to be sent to the minors. But that shouldn't be a problem. If he clears, he'd come back in September once rosters expand.

Budapest Operetta Theatre
Together with Vienna, Budapest is the capital of operetta and visitors can see for themselves the high standard of operetta performance.
The Operetta Theatre building used to give home to an Orpheum; the Budapest Operetta had moved here in the year 1923. Full reconstruction was carried out between 1999 and 2001.
The most advanced European stage machinery was installed, the beautiful original ornamentation was restored and the earlier rows of boxes in the circle were also rebuilt. Today the theatre has 917 seats and the auditorium is air-conditioned.
Their primary goal has always been the preservation of traditions and finding new artistic solutions.

I made a slightly better looking 48 x 48 alpha icon for the main executable that people may prefer to use as the old 32 x 32 16 color icon can become pretty ugly when icon size is something larger.
You can use Resource Hacker to replace the original icon in the executable (1200). I didn't notice any harm done, but backupping is a great idea anyway.

Police: Manchester woman, 18, stabbed her boyfriend
Staff Report
Melinda Morina
— Melinda Morina, 18, is accused of stabbing her 21-year-old boyfriend in the chest Friday night after they argued about smoking marijuana.
Court documents show Catholic Medical Center initially reported the knife wound may have "nicked" the victim's heart. Police said Monday the wound was life-threatening, but the victim is expected to recover.
Morina, of 155 Becker St., was arraigned Monday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division on a felony first-degree assault charge. No plea can be entered to a felony in Circuit Court, so a probable cause hearing was set for Dec. 5.
Court documents show Morina told police she and her boyfriend, Christopher Serrano, were arguing about smoking marijuana. He wanted to and she said she couldn't because she has to undergo drug testing. During the argument, she said, she picked up a knife from the kitchen counter and raised it in her right hand.
The court documents show she told police Serrano "tested" her by saying: "You're not gonna do it." She blamed Serrano for making her "so mad" that she stabbed him in the chest.
Morina told police she then dropped the knife and tended to Serrano.
Joseph Marcotte, 21, told police that he and Serrano had gone for a walk because the couple had been arguing. He entered the residence after finishing a cigarette and found Serrano lying on the kitchen floor. Serrano called to him: "I'm stabbed. Call an ambulance."
Marcotte told police Morina was crying, saying: "I'm sorry" and "please don't die." But she also allegedly told Marcotte that Serrano had stabbed himself, according to court documents.
No bail was set on the felony charge because Morina was out on bail at the time of the stabbing. As a result of the alleged violation of bail conditions, police prosecutors filed a motion to revoke Morina's bail and have her held until her trial Jan. 8, 2014, on a charge of interfering with custody.
A hearing on the bail revocation motion was set for Tuesday in Circuit Court. If the judge decides not to revoke Morina's bail on the custody charge, bail will be set on the felony assault charge.

There is a consensus the reorganization is a good thing that furthers the county's goal to streamline services.
Brunswick County's reorganization of the emergency dispatch center came as a surprise to most everyone within the county government.
But while there is some confusion as to where the idea originated, there is a consensus the reorganization is a good thing that furthers the county's goal to streamline services.
The county commissioners voted unanimously July 1 to move the dispatch center from emergency management to the sheriff's office.
Commissioners said the idea developed quickly and because of County Manager Ann Hardy's goal to reorganize the county's operations. She has made similar changes since taking over as manager in May, including consolidating some health services and reorganizing which departments administrators oversee.
After the July 1 decision, Hardy was on vacation and could not be reached for comment, and Deputy County Manager Steve Stone did not return requests for comment about the switch or the reasons for making it.
The late addition of the agenda item came as a surprise to many.
Chief Deputy Charlie Miller said he knew about it the Friday before the meeting. But Anthony Marzano, emergency management director, said he was not informed about the shift until the day it was approved.
"I found out about this at 4 p.m.," he said.
Marzano said he was not given a reason for the change.
Commissioners Frank Williams and Pat Sykes both said they didn't known about the reorganization until a few days before it happened.
Commissioners Vice Chairman Marty Cooke said he knew there were talks, but nothing serious.
"There were some discussions (by Hardy and the sheriff) going on back and forth," he said.
Chairman Phil Norris said what probably triggered the move was concern Oak Island town officials had expressed about its transition into the county's dispatch system in September.
Oak Island Mayor Betty Wallace said the town was having trouble getting some emergency calls dispatched, but town officials had not yet met with county officials to discuss concerns.
The agenda note about the switch stated that statewide about one-third of all 911 operations are under law enforcement and most dispatch calls are for the sheriff's office.
Commissioners said there was unanimous agreement the sheriff would do a good job with the operations.
"I think he will be able to refine operations and enhance it," Cooke said.
Commissioners also approved during the meeting giving Sheriff John Ingram a 5 percent pay raise because of the reorganization. The raise, recommended by Hardy, brings his salary to $108,150 a year.
At least for now, the county's dispatch center will continue to operate under the emergency services wing of the county. Ingram said he has not made the decision when his office will permanently take over the dispatch center's operations. The sheriff will take in 33 full-time employees and $2.3 million in operations.
"I think its premature to discuss (improvements and efficiencies) at this point," he said. "We want to get all the people at table involved, and they can collectively voice concerns - if there are any - and as a group streamline (dispatch) as best possible."
Miller said the most apparent change for the department will be personnel policy matters.
By law, sheriff's employees serve at the pleasure of the sheriff.
But both Ingram and Miller said all employees will retain their jobs through the switch.
"We are excited to have them," Miller said.

LONDON (AP) — A British radio station has suspended the radio program of a disc jockey who has been arrested as part of a national child sex abuse scandal.
Bauer Media says Dave Lee Travis' weekend show on Magic AM will not be broadcast until the investigation has been resolved.
Travis was arrested Thursday and later freed on bail as part of a wide-ranging police inquiry that began by looking into allegations against the late Jimmy Savile, a BBC TV host suspected of abusing hundreds of underage girls.
The 67-year-old Travis has denied any wrongdoing. He told reporters Friday that he is being investigated for groping two grown women, not for abusing children.
Travis was once one of Britain's best-known DJs. He has not been charged.

Mathematica is an essential part of Daniel Warren's position as director of research for Knowles Electronics, one of the only companies in the world that designs microphones and speakers for hearing aids.
Warren uses Mathematica to develop and test the new technologies that keep the company's products at the industry's forefront. When his team struggled with a measurement standard in its design, Warren turned to Mathematica and found an instant solution. He says, "What Mathematica allowed me to do was focus on each individual part of the problem, and then I throw it all to Mathematica and let it solve everything as a big system for me."
When Warren explains to customers the technologies his team develops, he uses Mathematica's report-building capabilities along with Wolfram Demonstrations. According to Warren, "It gives us a platform, so I can talk about the things I understand, they can talk in terms of things they understand and the Mathematica notebook gives us a bridge between the two."

My Princess Party To Go has been doing Princess Parties for over 8 years. They have everything from tutus to party favors such as tiaras. They even have dress up clothes for boys at the parties. They sent us Sheer Fun Party in a Bag outfits for each child. Since we had boys and girls, we got the Princess Bags and the Pirate Bags.
The Sheer Fun Princess Party in a Bag includes a 12" Soft Pink Tulle Tutu, 18" Jewel Crown Wand, Sparkling Tiara, and a Foam Tiara Craft with jewels to decorate in Keepsake Sheer Bag. They put treasure chests in mine instead of the Foam Tiara Craft which was perfect for the goodies from the pinata. The bag is meant for children 1-9, but my 13 year old sister was even able to wear one of the tutus when playing with the kids.
The Sheer Fun Pirate Party in a Bag includes a Black felt Pirate Hat, Pirate Bandanna, Satin Sash, Eye Patch, and 5" treasure chest bank with jewels to decorate. They also had pirate girl bags which would be perfect if you were doing a pirate only themed birthday party.
We set the outfits out and the kids got so excited when they saw them. The bags that they came in were perfect for the kids to put anything that they weren't wearing in to keep up with everything.
The kids wore their outfits for the whole party. One girl left her wand and had to come back and get it that night. Her mom said she was upset because she wanted to play with them that night. These were better than any "goody bag" I've ever seen. I don't put pictures of other people's kids all over my website, so I blocked their faces for privacy.
Evan loves all things pirate right now so he was so excited about his outfit. This is completely off topic, but we were watching Peter Pan later that night and he told me they weren't real pirates because they didn't have eye patches. :)
The Satin Sash from the pirate outfit was perfect to tie around their head when they were hitting the pinata.
If you look close, you can see they are filling their pirate chests with candy from the pinata. Evan was too busy over in the back getting people to open up candy so he could eat it.
The adults even had fun with the outfits. Here is my dad putting Evan's pirate hat on and my sister had Isabella's tutu. One of the dads told me that next year we need to do the same theme and make sure the hats and outfits were big enough for the adults too.
These outfits were a huge hit and the kids will be able to play with them for a long time at home.

New Restaurant MO Eats to Open Friday
A new restaurant in Valley City is having its grand opening Friday. Located in the former Broken Spoke building at 100 Central Avenue South, MO eats serves common Midwest breakfast and lunch meals with a southern flair, said owner/operator Amanda Clark.
The eatery will officially open Friday at 10:30 a.m. and will remain open until 3 p.m. and will be open after that for regular hours, which are Monday through Friday 6 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Clark said the special for opening weekend will be 15 percent off the total ticket this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and the restaurant will feature specials daily from then on.
MO eats serves a variety of breakfast and lunch meals with a southern take on Midwest favorites, Clark said. Some feature items include southern French toast, breakfast burritos, shrimp and grits, and fried green tomatoes. They also plan to serve homemade bread bowl soup each day. The menu can be viewed on the restaurant's website, www.moeats.co. Breakfast is served all day, and lunch begins at 11:30 a.m.
All meals are made from scratch, including the bread — made in the bakery that her mother Deb Holmes manages — which is located inside the restaurant.

8/10. Pretty good episode, although the last few episodes were better. The story didn't move along by a lot. This episode was mostly focused on everyone's respective battles. There was too little focus on Yuji/Shana this episode in my opinion.
Guess I was right about Shana's plan. Shana forcefully put in some data, which would result in a rule being created which will stop the tomogara from disrupting the balance in the new world. Making sure that humans can't be eaten over there, and thus can't be changed into power of existence, will stop the forming of distortions and will protect the balance of both Xanadu and the 'greater world'. I guess Shana fulfilled her duty as a flame haze this way.
Using Shana's unrestricted spell they made sure that everyone in Misaki City would be able to hear the new rule as well. I guess that they did this so that the tomogara in Misaki City will know about this rule and that they will be able to spread the word to the other tomogara later in Xanadu.
I guess the 3 remaining gods of the motherland had another mission as well, aside from stalling the tomogara. They are killing as much tomogara as they can in order to set an example for the coming generations of tomogara: Those who eat humans and disrupt the balance that way will face punishment without mercy.
I get the feeling that the main reason why SnH got so angry is because he got a blow to his pride. He's angry that his paradise has been alterned, since he is the one who was supposed to make this world for the tomogara. The tomogara wished for this world and he awoke to fulfil that wish. The tomogara will become happy because of him, their god. He wants to be worshipped like that. Nobody was supposed to alter it. Yuji shouldn't really have a reason to be angry with this new rule though, since this fits in with his wish to create a world where humans and tomogara can coexist. I wonder what will come out of this.
As for Johan and Pheles, I guess Johan was the one who gave the flame haze the piece they needed to change the Taimei Shihen after all. It seems he really was 'dying' inside the Reiji Maigo, so he made a plan. He wants to 'overcome death' and to 'leave hope behind'. It probably has something to do with that thing Rofocale saw in the minivan. Johan's planning to use SnH/Yuji's plan to make this happen somehow. I guess he needs to PoE that will be used to create Xanadu.
Johan als has a message for Wilhelmina, their friend. And he wants Kazumi to convey this message to her. I wonder what it'll be. It will probably be some kind of explanation of their plan. I have the feeling that we won't be seeing Johan and Pheles again though. To me, it felt like they were saying their farewells during that scene with Kazumi.
By the way, I had to raise one of my eyebrows at the first scene. Sydonay was still being held by Wilhelmina and Margery in his humanoid form when Shana fired the Chorde at the end of episode 20. In the beginning of this episode he was freely flying in his transformed state when Shana fired those Chorde. Guess they made a small mistake there.
And wow at that cliffhanger.

Are both Johan and Pheles still inside the van? And, they are actually convey the message to Kazumi through dream, right?
Is there any reason for the denizens to attack the van? Due to the command of Pirsoyn?

I don't think Yuji/SnH ordered this, since he still cares about Kazumi.

On that end I don't see how Yuji could be upset at this.
The Flame Hazes plan is interesting though.
If you want to go to the new world, that's great, but this is a reminder of what'll happen if you ever dare set foot here. In that case Earth will become a "forbidden zone" or that "the land where the boogeyman lives" where the Denizens will believe that there exists monsters that will tear them to pieces if they ever set foot on it.
It's not perfect but it's a good way for the Flame Hazes to ensure that the new world will not affect the old one in any way.

Too much tying-up of side-stories is gonna be done... seems like there was too much of them at the expense of the main story focus, Yuji and Shana. Needs a rewrite to tone them down a bit, decreasing unnecessary detail.

I give a high score because finally I can understand a lot of things
that talking is very important...
and Shana's plan to alter Xanadu is very simple
honestly, I'm still thinking that Ramies was ordered to give Taimei Shihen to Wilhelmina by Yuji because he hope Shana will do this job...
each one of Flame Haze has different reasoning for joining this battle then because most of their plan has been finished
and that's a very scary resolution from Gods of Earth... so their goal is to kick out the general and make them to be frightened by the might of Flame Haze power
maybe in Xanadu, if somehow there is a tomogara eats human, Flame Haze will be summoned to spread fear once again... hahaha
they don't show most of Gods of Earth's battle because looks like they're winning easily... Haborym and Ribesal really can't keep up with them
now, I want to see how Sale-Chiara will defeat Dantalion-Mammon.. both of them are too dangerous for Xanadu
I'm glad that Johan-Pheles still considering Wilhelmina as their friend... now, are they planning to be in Xanadu to maintain Johan's existence??? or maybe they already given up?? and where are they right now??
Yuji and Shana expression in the end of episode is very good... because of their battle, Yoshida is sacrificed.... hahaha... I hope to see two of them will head toward the van to check Yoshida's condition before continuing their battle
3 more episode.... and I'm looking for a full episode for Yuji and Shana's battle

Yeah this episode sent chills down my spine, it pretty much validated and subverted every character trope known to mankind.
Lets go through the series that flashed through my head as i watched this,
Steins gate (Same Scientist, naturally occurring the wrath of chessmasters and puppet masters alike)
Haruhi Suzumiya (I guess that role goes to Sekai Yuji, what offset me here is how the laws of vengeance with the four gods were pushed completely beyond their limits, it sounds like nothing but plain hitler-ism at this point, the closed eye persona does not help matters )
Monster (At first i thought it was just a coincidence hearing the name of Johan but after that king speech i'm not so sure, it looks like he is able to see the field of blades as shown in -Fate stay night- -Kami no Puzzle- -Kuroshitsuji- this usually occurs when a chessmasters battle turns into anarchy, the only way out of this is to find a way to break the entire chessboard)

Whew so intense, while restraining my self from humming a tone that so desperately needs to be said, KAZUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMI!!!

They skip so much yet they leave the ED? Wtf are they doing, 1-2 minutes can definitely make a difference, especially when this is it.
Hopefully they'll start skipping Op's or hopefully ED's, because I'm getting tired of the generic wallpaper.

Most if not all of the Flame Hazes became that because they were wronged by the Denizens one way or the other. South Valley must've really been beaten badly a long time ago to have that much hatred.
I don't see anything wrong with them changing the law to have it so that the Denizens cannot eat humans....I'm more suprised that Yuji didn't even put that in in the first place to begin with which I suppose lends to Johan's lecture about him being so uptight about it.
And they want to instill as much fear and terror into the Denizens so that their descendants will not forget the crimes and punishments that awaits them if they ever dared set foot on Earth again.
Yuji created Xanadu, the Flame Hazes simply continued in their duties by making sure that down the road the new world wouldn't affect the old worlds or at least minimize the risks.

Maybe SnH let Yuji help with the execution of the plan, but he didn't let him change any of the rules for the new world. As we could see this episode, he seems to think that as their god, he is the one who should bring the tomogara happiness. He doesn't want anyone else to alter his plans. SnH is making the world for the tomogara after all, so I guess he cares less about the humans than Yuji does.

At that point, he had become a mystes, since he is a torch with a hougu, which is Reiji Maigo. I cannot understand why he was slowing drying within the hougu. He could just take a portion of power of existence, generated from Reiji Maigo, to cure his injury. After all, he is the creator of Reiji Maigo.

ANTANANARIVO, Madagascar (AP) — Police in Madagascar say two protesters were killed in a riot at a prison holding the alleged killers of a French nun. The government is investigating reports that security forces fired on the crowd.
Police Lt. Col. Lala Rakotonirina said Tuesday that the unrest happened when a crowd, angry at the death Sister Marie Emmanuelle Helesbeux, converged on the prison in the northern town of Mandritsara.
Authorities say one of the three suspects owed money to Helesbeux, who was strangled. Her body was found Saturday in the Mandritsara marketplace.
Interior Minister Florent Rakotoarisoa and other government officials traveled to Mandritsara. The interior minister said on national radio that "popular justice" and revenge will not bring peace to the town, and that the suspects will be harshly punished if found guilty.

The ESCANDALO Of The Year That Never Was
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!OOOO!!!OO!O!" is the only thing my keyboard can scream out over the devastating news that Mariah Yeater has tiptoed into the courthouse to quietly cancel her paternity suit against Justin Bieber and she's no longer asking him to spit out some DNA to prove that he is the father of her baby friend. There will be no Maury after-school special. Justin will not join the cast of next season's Teen Mom. The Lesbeaver's kingdom dam (kingdam?) will not come crumbling down from the sonic boom sound of a million crazed Beliebers coo bawling out of their diapers. There goes Bieber's butch bitch cred and there goes the scandal that was supposed to put a skid mark on the House of Beliebers! Even Mariah's baby looks disappointed about the fact that he'll never be a Eater-Beaver.
TMZ reports that Mariah took back the lawsuit last week right before her skeeze bag lawyers dropped her ass. The Lesbeaver was supposed to get DNAed today and planned to sue Mariah for telling lies. Mariah's case fell apart as soon as one of her ex-boyfriends claimed that she accused him of fathering her baby a second before she fame whored her way into the tabloids. Mariah continued to prove that she sucks at scheming when she went on The Insider and claimed she had proof she couldn't reveal at that time. Womp. Womp. So that's that.
Either two things happened: Mariah is insane and made it all up for a quick cashiers check from The Insider and Star. Or Mariah is still insane and Justin cracked open his piggy bank and emptied it out onto her open palms so she can go away. Whatever the case may be, one thing still remains. Us bitter queen losers who live for a scandal like this have been robbed.
Oh, well. The silver lining here is that at least I got to use this picture of Justin Bieber looking like a penis after a botched circumcision left it with raggedy ass foreskin.

MACHIAS — A report shows that an account at the Washington County jail in Machias meant to benefit inmates was instead used to buy women's undergarments and other personal items for employees.
According to a report prepared by a lawyer hired by Sheriff Donnie Smith, more than $7,000 from the Inmate Benefit Account was also used in 2012 to buy computer equipment, books, clothing and more.
The account is meant to be used for purchases that benefit inmates, including telephone time and items from the commissary.
WABI-TV reports that one employee justified the purchases by saying she needed to dress properly for work, and her work benefited the inmates.
The county commissioners are scheduled to meet Thursday to discuss the report.
Sheriff Smith says two employees have been suspended.

Well, thanks :-) -- though I hope you will not be borrowing my incorrect grammar in the post ("had sent", not "had send"... meh, it was early in the morning).
There is one thing that has been going through my head, and now that I think of it, I think Thom is right in saying that at this moment, every Amiga business looks shoddy.
If a company came out with a great product that runs Amiga OS and can actually market it (i.e. send it to my corner of the world -- if they can send it here, chances are they can send some to the Klingons as well), that would be awesome even if it's not called Amiga <something>. Seriously, does anyone here actually care? If it looks like an Amiga, runs Amiga OS, but they can't call it Amiga because of the licensing -- well, as far as anyone is concerned, it's a new Amiga. Just go redneck-style, print a paper of the Amiga logo and stick it on it. If it worked on my coffee cup, it's going to work on my computer, too.
I'll be adding Rule #133 to my list of rules to follow in life: if a company begins by acquiring patents, trademarks and legal decisions before they actually have a damn office, they will hardly be able to screw a lightbulb, let alone build a computer. It's right after Rule #132, which says "our grandparents have been designing CPUs and computers for 60 years and all we got were these lousy x86_64 Dells."

Gibson Tone Tips: Pick A Winner
There's a little tidbit of tonal tweakage that is entirely within every player's power to modify at will, without risk to guitar, amp or effects, without voiding any warrantees, and at very little expense. Simultaneously, this item is one of the most underappreciated tools in the tone arsenal. I'm talking about the humble pick, brothers and sisters, that little triangle of semi-rigid material that sets your strings a-humming.
Picks—or plectrums—of different sizes, shapes, and thicknesses, and which are made of different materials, all exhibit different sounds. Dolphin Music offers a wide selection of Gibson picks, and of course you can experiment with a myriad of other makes and styles of picks to alter the tone of your Gibson guitar. And flesh—bare fingertips—offers a different sound alternative still. Since the pick or fingertip's contact with the string or strings is where it all begins, this is really the first ingredient in the sonic stew.
As a basic rule of thumb, if you will, thinner and more flexible picks yield a lighter, softer sound, but one that can also be effectively percussive for rhythm playing. The heavier and more rigid a pick's material, the less it gives when attacking the string, and the more energy it transfers into the string rather than into itself as it bends. All of this, naturally, translates to a heavier sound and a more aggressive attack. (See, this is heavy science here: we're talking Newton's Third Law—"For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.") Go at a set of heavy strings with a thin gauge pick and you'll mostly end up with a choked sound and a grooved, gnarled pick. Hit them with a heavy or extra-heavy gauge plectrum and you can really start moving some steel. Old tortoiseshell picks are the epitome of this: the rigid material has negligible give, and yields a firm attack with sparkling harmonics. Being made from an endangered material, they aren't available any more, but if you come across an old one give it a try; the difference will probably startle you. Many man-made alternatives offer similar performance.
The shape of the attacking edge or corner of a pick also greatly affects the resultant sound. A triangular or pointed tip digs into the string sharply, inducing sparkling highs and good harmonic content thanks to its narrow but firm point of contact. A rounded edge blurs the attack slightly, yielding a warmer, "rounder" sound. You can use this knowledge to your advantage when seeking to alter the tone of your guitar, whether it's an acoustic or an electric, and don't feel you need to have just one type of pick that's "your pick"—mix it up, and find what works for different styles of playing. To give more bite and brightness to your Les Paul's fat, warm neck-pickup, use a firmer pick with a more sharply pointed playing tip. On the flipside, warm up the cutting tone of the bridge P-90 on your SG Special by using a more rounded pick, or take some of the aggression out of the high-gain pickups of your V-Factor X by using a thinner pick for a smoother, more compressed rhythm tone. Many jazz players have for years used the very rounded back edge of a standard-shaped pick to elicit an even smoother, plummier tone from classic jazz boxes such as the ES-175. In contrast to all of this, bare thumb or fingertips yield a slightly muted, thick, warm sound, but one that can vary greatly depending upon technique. Many fingerstyle players are also capable of producing sudden bright, attacking riffs by snapping or plucking the strings heavily, and many add fingernail tips to the attack, which brightens up the sound.
Try out the effects of pick attack for yourself—the expense is negligible, and it's a lot easier than swapping pickups, speakers, or even strings. Procure a range of picks in different shapes, sizes, and gauges, and experiment at will to see what works for different playing requirements you might have. After all, the more tools you have in your arsenal, the more versatile a player you're likely to be.

LEICESTER, Mass. - Castleton scored the final 28 points of the game, including three touchdowns from Tyler Carpenter (Fort Edward, N.Y.), to turn a 28-28 contest midway through the third quarter into a 56-28 blowout victory over Becker at Alumni Field on Saturday afternoon.
Carpenter ran around and through the Hawks' defense, finishing with 171 rushing yards on 26 carries and a career-high four rushing touchdowns. The junior also caught a touchdown pass as the Spartans tied their highest scoring output of the season and improved to 2-4 overall and 2-2 in the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference.
Becker dropped to 1-6 overall and 1-3 in the ECFC after being victimized by a Castleton offense which ran for 245 yards, passed for 244 and an opportunistic defense that forced three turnovers.
Junior Shane Brozowski (Rensselaer, N.Y.) was poised in the pocket for Castleton, going 18-for-36 for 244 yards and three touchdowns. Sophomore Zach Waitkus led the receiving corps with six catches for 80 yards and was one of five players to haul in at least two passes.
The game actually got off to a rocky start for the Spartans as Becker's Kyle Gregg (Charlotte, N.C.) took the opening kickoff at the 13-yard line and weaved his way through the Castleton defense for the 87-yard kickoff return for the touchdown and the early 7-0 lead.
Following a short kickoff return, the Spartans started their first drive at the 36. They promptly marched 64 yards in just 2:04 for the game-tying touchdown, with the final 23 yards coming through the air on a pass from Brozowski to senior tight end Adam Farmer (So. Burlington, Vt.).
On the Hawks next drive, the Castleton defense forced a three and out and fair-caught the punt on their 47-yard line. The Spartans gained 23 yards on their first two plays of the drive and only needed seven plays total to get into the endzone as Carpenter caught an 18-yard pass from Brozowski for the score.
Trailing 14-7, Becker received the ball on the 20 after a touchback. Their offense grinded out a 12-play, 80-yard drive that spanned 7:28 and culminated in a 29-yard pass from William Ramirez (Bethel, Conn.) to Asante Harris (Charlotte, N.C.) to tie up the contest.
The Spartans went back on offense with two minutes remaining in the first quarter and made quick work of the Hawks defense. Castleton drove 64 yards in just three plays, helped by a 15-yard Becker penalty, to bring the team within two yards of the endzone. Carpenter took the handoff on the next play and burst through the line for the score. The extra point put visitors in front 21-14 with 31 seconds remaining in the first.
The Hawks and Spartans were each forced to punt on their next drives and Becker ended up with the ball on its own 47 with 11:09 remaining in the first half. The Hawks fumbled on first down and the ball was recovered by defensive end Cameron Laundry (Hartland, Vt.).
Castleton appeared ready to capitalize on the turnover as the offense drove the ball to the two-yard line on four rushes by Carpenter and a pass by Brozowski. However, the Spartans turned the ball over four plays later as Carpenter was stuffed on fourth down attempt from the two-yard line.
Becker's next drive took the remaining 8:21 of the first half and culminated in a missed 25-yard field goal to give Castleton the 21-14 lead heading into the break.
The Spartans stalled on their first drive of the second half but Stew Quinn's (Newton, N.J.) punt pinned the Hawks back at their own one-yard line. On first down, Robert Baker (Monroe, Conn.) hit Corinthian Bostic (Jacksonville, Fla.) for a 99-yard touchdown reception to tie the score up at 21 just 1:23 into the third quarter.
Castleton opened its next drive at the 50 following a 32-yard kickoff return by Kevin Alberque (Ridgefield Park, N.J.). Four plays later Mick Wong (Hartford, Vt.) ran in his first touchdown of the year from five yards out to give the Spartans the lead, 28-21.
Following a pair of failed drives for both teams, Becker orchestrated a seven-play, 80-yard touchdown drive, culminating in a five-yard pass from Baker to Luis Sanchez (Springfield, Mass.) to tie the score at 28 with 4:08 remaining in the quarter.
Carpenter put Castleton back in front less than two minutes later as he rumbled in for his second rushing touchdown from the one, at the 2:13 mark in the third. His rush capped a 10-play 64-yard drive for the offense.
The Spartans got the ball back at their own 39-yard line after a Becker three-and-out and mixed the rush with the pass until Carpenter once again found paydirt, scoring from two yards out this time to finish the eight-play drive. The score and extra point put the visitors up 42-28 with 14:09 remain in the game.
Castleton's defense got in on the action in the Hawks' next series, forcing a fumble on fourth down inside their own territory. The Becker offense recovered the ball at the 11, but the turnover on downs gave the Spartans a short field on which to operate. Two rushes later Carpenter was in the endzone for his fourth touchdown of the afternoon and a convincing 49-28 lead.
Looking to cut into the lead, the Hawks got the ball on their own 49 with just over 11 minutes left. However, junior Brandon Bergeron (Hartford, Vt.) picked off the first-down pass at the Spartan 30 and returned it 30 yards to the Becker 40. Four plays later Brozowski tossed a 12-yard scoring strike to sophomore Brandon Boyle (Springfield, Vt.) and the extra point made it 56-28 with 10:08 remaining in the contest.
Neither team was able to score the rest of the way as Castleton held on for the victory.
Safety Cody TanCreti (Hartland, Vt.) and linebacker Dustin Young (Dunnellon, Fla.) led the defense with seven tackles apiece and TanCreti added a late fourth-quarter interception as well.
The Spartans return to the field on Saturday, Oct. 22 when they take on the AMCATS of Anna Maria at 5 p.m.

LITTLE ROCK — With Arkansas Lt. Gov. Mark Darr stepping down next month over ethics violations, legislative leaders say there's growing support to change the law to keep his office vacant and avoid a special election to fill the post for just a few months.
Gov. Mike Beebe said Monday that he was still researching whether the law requires him to call a special election to fill the vacancy for Darr, a Republican who announced Friday he would step down Feb. 1. Beebe said he was also researching whether Darr had actually resigned since he hadn't submitted a formal letter to the governor's office.
Legislative leaders are gauging support for changing the law during next month's legislative session to give Beebe the ability to not call a special election.

Halloween in State College - A climate context.
Pumpkins and chocolate are Halloween staples, but like most things, they are likely to be affected by climate change.
Click below for a high-res version WITH a title - WITHOUT a title
Pumpkins and chocolate are Halloween staples, but like most things, they are likely to be affected by climate change. With trick-or-treaters getting ready to make the rounds, we thought it would be a good time to look at some of the impacts.
Cocoa powder is the main ingredient in chocolate, which comes from cocoa beans grown in the tropics. Dry weather can stunt cocoa bean growth. With temperatures rising and rainfall patterns expected to change by mid-century, there could be less land suitable for cocoa production. That would translate to diminished chocolate supplies worldwide according to a 2011 study released by the International Center for Tropical Agricultural.
Pumpkins are also prone to weather and climate. Heavy rain in 2009 delayed the harvest and caused pumpkins to rot in the fields across Illinois, the state where nearly 90 percent of the U.S. pumpkins come from. This year is a different story. A wet spring and dry late summer are combining for a good pumpkin crop there, while New Jersey and Delaware are seeing a diminished yield because of a very wet summer.
Over the last century, rainfall has increased across the Midwest by an average of 9 percent. Since 1958, heavy rainfall events in the region have also increased by 45 percent, which can saturate pumpkin patches. Both those trends are expected to continue according to the National Climate Assessment. So while natural weather variability plays a big role in yearly pumpkin crop yield, these rainfall shifts could have longer-term impacts. However, more research needs to be done on what those specific impacts will look like.

HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong is proposing to restrict the amount of personal information available on company directors in the wake of investigative news reports that used the data to help expose fortunes linked to Chinese leaders.
Under the proposed changes, home addresses and ID card or passport numbers of directors would be obscured in filings starting from the first quarter of 2014. The details could also be removed from historical filings on request.
Currently, anyone can access these details online for a nominal fee. The new law would restrict access to certain groups including law enforcement, regulators and liquidators.
The proposals highlight fears that Hong Kong's position as a relatively transparent and open Asian business center is slipping. The city, a special administrative region of China, enjoys separate legal and financial systems and high degree of autonomy that are legacies of more than a century as a British colony. Detailed information on public and private companies and land transactions is widely available.
That's not the case in other Asian jurisdictions, especially in mainland China, where most company information is secret. Some details such as names of board members or senior executives are public. But other details, if available, can only be accessed by people such as lawyers who are authorized to see files at commercial bureaus. In Japan, personal information is protected by privacy policies and laws while in South Korea, publicly listed companies are required only to disclose basic information such as names, birthdates and work history of directors.
The provisions attracted little notice until this week, when they were outlined in a briefing paper submitted to the legislature's financial affairs panel. They have worried investors and the media as the changes could make it harder to document cases of corruption or malfeasance.
Hong Kong has become a popular place for mainland Chinese businesspeople and government officials looking to hide their wealth through shell companies.
In one high-profile case last year, a detailed report by Bloomberg on the wealth of relatives of China's new top leader, Xi Jinping, relied on identity card numbers mined from company filings. The New York Times also used such data for articles about the wealth of Premier Wen Jiabao's family.
The proposals "are negative for transparency," said David Webb, a well-known shareholder activist. "They make it harder for investors, researchers, journalists and members of the public to find connections between individuals and companies. That makes it harder to expose corruption."
The changes proposed by the Financial Services and Treasury Bureau and the Companies Registry are aimed at updating existing regulations and increasing privacy protection, according to a consultation document released in November.
There is still a chance that the provisions could be amended by lawmakers.
The Hong Kong Journalists Association said it strongly opposes the move, considering it "a serious limitation on investigative reporting" and "an infringement of the public interest." The group said in a statement that access to the information has helped uncover illegal activities by government officials, politicians and business people. The Foreign Correspondents Club of Hong Kong also objected, posting an open letter calling on the city's leader, Leung Chun-ying, to withdraw the proposals.
Webb said he wasn't so concerned about home addresses being obscured as he was with identity numbers. In many cases, names are the only piece of information that can be used to make a connection with other people or shell companies. And if research turns up people who have the exact same names, like John Smith or, in Hong Kong, the equally common Chan Wai-ming, the numbers are the only way to distinguish between them.
Joe McDonald in Beijing, Elaine Kurtenbach in Tokyo and Youkyung Lee in Seoul contributed to this report.
