In the 2012 movie Robot and Frank, set sometime in the future, a robot is purchased to provide personal care for an elderly — and mentally deteriorating — former jewel thief (Frank). When Frank learns the robot doesn't distinguish between legal and illegal behavior, he uses it to pull off some final jewel heists. As the police close in, Frank is faced with the decision of whether to wipe out the robot's memory so it can't be used to trace the burglaries. This is a tough call for Frank, since the robot now gives him more attention than do his children.
I won't reveal Frank's decision — in case you want to watch this well-done flick — but the movie is thought-provoking on several levels: the perils of aging, the relationship of children to elderly parents needing increased care and the emergence and role of robots in our society. Although I am experiencing and have experienced the first two challenges, as an economist I will confine my comments in this column to the last issue.
Historically, humans have had a love-hate relationship with machinery and technology. We love what machines, gadgets and technical processes can do for us: making us more productive, expanding our horizons and simply taking a lot of the drudgery out of life. I vividly remember my grandmother telling me about the day she had her first washing machine and dryer installed. No longer did she have to scrub clothes by hand and hang them outside to dry on sunny days, or anywhere she could find on cold or rainy days. Plus, she could use the time saved letting the machines do the work for other farm chores.
But machines and technology usually replace labor and, therefore, cause jobs, at least initially, to decline. Washer and dryer machines in big hotels and institutions meant less work for human washers and dryers. The introduction of the tractor and harvester on the farm dramatically increased farm output but caused the number of farm workers to plunge. These tradeoffs have led some people, usually those losing their jobs, to oppose the introduction of machines and technology. There are incidents in history where this opposition actually turned violent.
How has this tradeoff been resolved? Easy; although new machines and technology destroyed some jobs, they ultimately created others. The productivity, income and wealth created by machines and technology generated resources and spending in new endeavors, and these endeavors, in turn, created new jobs.
So as workers left the farm in the 19th and early 20th centuries, they moved to the factories that were just developing to provide the new consumer goods — like cars, telephones and appliances — that households were buying. Then, in the late 20th century computers made factories high-tech centers where one worker could do the work of 20 to 50 workers years before. But fortunately, jobs were expanding in the professions, health care, finance, personal services and the new information-technology sector to soak-up the extra labor.
This process of machines, inventions and technology destroying some jobs but creating wealth, spending and jobs in new areas has, over time, kept the job market expanding. However, will it continue? Some say no.
What has changed? Here we go back to the robot in Robot and Frank. Frank's robot had something called artificial intelligence. This means it could use information, experience and reasoning to learn, make decisions and solve problems. Experts say if robots could actually be made with these skills, it could be a big game changer for the job market.
How so? Up to now, machines and technology, including robots, have primarily been used for routine jobs like putting fenders on a car, filling bottles or dispensing money at an ATM. Non-routine jobs, where the situation is frequently changing, and jobs requiring high-level knowledge and complex decision-making have still been the domain of humans. Interestingly, these jobs are at both the very high end and the very low end of the wage range.
If machines (robots) can be developed to adapt to differing conditions — so their responses vary with the situation — and if they can be programmed to "think" and "reason," then they can start to do more non-routine jobs. Some economists say this is already occurring and is one reason for the slow growth in employment in the last three years.
Could this mean the ultimate end of jobs for people? Some futurists say "yes." How then will people survive? These futurists say people will have time to pursue their own interests and hobbies, but they will have to be supported by income transfers from the owners of the labor-saving machines and technology.
Other forecasters disagree. They argue that just as with labor-substituting devices in the past, the rise of the robot will free-up businesses, investors and workers for other profitable pursuits, maybe in health care, nutrition, education, entertainment and tourism. Jobs won't decline; they will just shift.
The ultimate question is this, Will our love-hate relationship with the machine be more "love" or more "hate" in the decades ahead? You decide.

Florida is playing in its ninth Sweet 16 and seventh under Billy Donovan. Here is a look at how Florida has played in previous Sweet 16 games.
Florida's basketball program is playing in its ninth Sweet 16 and its seventh under Billy Donovan. Here is how Florida has played in previous Sweet 16 games:
Syracuse 87, Florida 81
Site: Meadowlands Arena, East Rutherford, N.J.
The skinny: Florida made it all the way to the third round in its first NCAA Tournament appearance. The Gators were up five on the mighty Orange with 5:10 to play. But on a fast break, Andrew Moten's shot was blocked by Syracuse's Derrick Coleman which led to a three-point play at the other end. Syracuse then took control of the game. Rony Seikaly had 33 points for Syracuse while Vernon Maxwell had 25 for Florida.
Florida 69, Connecticut 60 (OT)
Site: Miami Arena, Miami.
The skinny: The Gators needed a miracle and got it with three seconds to play when Connecticut star Donyell Marshall clanged two free throws with three seconds remaining in the game. Florida then rolled in overtime to reach the Elite Eight for the first time in the school's history. Craig Brown and Dan Cross each had 17 points for UF, and it was a big 3 from Cross that put the game out of reach in OT.
Gonzaga 73, Florida 72
Site: American Airways Arena, Phoenix, Ariz.
The skinny: It was Heartbreak City for the Gators in Billy Donovan's first foray into the tournament. The Gonzaga center went over the back of Brent Wright to tip in a missed shot with 4.4 seconds remaining to give the Zags the lead. Eddie Shannon's half-court shot spun out of the basket, and Florida's season ended. "There are a lot of tears in that locker room," Donovan said after the game. Greg Stolt led Florida with 16 points while Mike Miller had 10 points and 11 rebounds.
Florida 87, Duke, 78
Site: The Carrier Dome, Syracuse, N.Y.
The skinny: Florida used its bench to overwhelm the Blue Devils and reach the Elite Eight. The Gator bench outscored Duke's 35-6 in the game and were led by Brett Nelson's 15 points. Shane Battier led Duke with 20 points. The Blue Devils were held to 3-of-19 shooting from 3-point range.
Florida 57, Georgetown 53
Site: H.H.H. Metrodome, Minneapolis, Minn.
The skinny: Corey Brewer made the play of the tournament for the Gators when he threw in a shot while being fouled with 27.5 seconds to play. Brewer said he didn't even look at the basket when he let the shot go. He made the three-point play, and Florida held on for the win. Joakim Noah had 15 points, 10 rebounds and five blocked shots for UF.
Florida 65, Butler 57
Site: Edward Jones Dome, St. Louis.
The skinny: Florida was in control for most of the second half and made some big free throws down the stretch in an uneventful game. For the game, Florida made 23 of 28 free throws. Taurean Green led Florida with 17 points and made a big 3 just before halftime. The Gators had four players in double figures.
Florida 83, BYU 74 (OT)
Site: New Orleans Arena, New Orleans.
The skinny: Alex Tyus had a career game scoring 19 points and grabbing 17 rebounds, and Florida was able to contain BYU's Jimmer Fredette. Fredette did score 33 points, but he took 29 shots, made only 3 of 15 from behind the arc and had to wear a bandage on his chin in the second half.
Florida 68, Marquette 58
Site: US Airways Center, Phoenix.
The skinny: Bradley Beal put on a show in his next-to-last game for the Gators, as he scored 21 points and made 8 of 10 from the field. Erving Walker and Kenny Boynton each had 11 points for the Gators, who never let Marquette get closer than four points in the game.

Annie O'Sullivan is your average 32-year-old successful businesswoman. She owns a large Victorian home, is up for a big project at her real estate firm, and has a doting boyfriend, loyal golden retriever, and a core group of close friends and family. But, she's also got a major chip on her shoulder.
After being abducted from her last open house and held captive for an entire year by a psychopathic man named David, the former Annie is Still Missing and still seeking answers about the deliberateness of her disappearance.
Chevy Stevens' breakout book, Still Missing, narrated by Angela Dawe, explores the inner workings of the human mind when it's nearly past redemption.
Set up as a first-person account divided into 26 therapy sessions, Annie vividly depicts a mixture of ghastly memories as a captive in the windowless seclusion of a small log cabin with her present-day demons sleeping in the closet and timed urination.
The novel itself is stanch, but it is Dawe's flippant, no-nonsense tone that brilliantly enacts Steven's rigid, exact language, revealing Annie from the very beginning. In fact, Dawe's performance so flawlessly portrays the shrewd, rough-and-tumble, yet angst-ridden young woman, you often forget you're listening to a work of fiction.
Similarly, Dawe has no trouble transitioning to the deeply disturbed David, the mild-mannered boyfriend, or the overbearing, overdone mother. Regardless of character, her performance is seamless, creating an unrivaled listening experience.
A frighteningly intense tale of abuse, hope, betrayal, and the struggle to live on after epic devastation, Chevy Stevens' Still Missing is an in-your-face rollercoaster ride of emotion that will leave listeners lining up again. Sarah Zimmerman
On the day she was abducted, Annie O'Sullivan, a 32-year-old Realtor, had three goals: sell a house, forget about a recent argument with her mother, and be on time for dinner with her ever-patient boyfriend. The open house is slow, but when her last visitor pulls up in a van as she's about to leave, Annie thinks it just might be her lucky day after all.
Interwoven with the story of the year Annie spent captive in a remote mountain cabin — which unfolds through sessions with her psychiatrist — is a second narrative recounting the nightmare that follows her escape: her struggle to piece her shattered life back together, the ongoing police investigation into the identity of her captor, and the disturbing sense that things are far from over.
The truth doesn't always set you free.
Still Missing is a shocking, visceral, brutal, and beautifully crafted debut novel about surviving the unsurvivable — and living to bear witness.

A singular voice; a horrendous story.
Chevy Stevens has been widely praised for this, her first book. The praise is justified. The narrator also does a fine job. However, what they both do is to portray a singularly horrible event which is very hard to hear. The protagonist, Anne, is kidnapped, imprisoned and tortured by an over-the-top control freak, a truly loony and scary psychopath who controls Anne's every breath. The atmosphere is so claustrophobic and so frightening that the book is not for the squeamish, and I find myself to be one of those, a little surprisingly to me. I love a good murder mystery, but this is not that. The details are authoritative and the story so well told that it turns your stomach. If you can stand the heat, fine, but for the rest of us, better that we stay out of this particular kitchen.

Interesting Twist in the End
So apparently Chevy Stevens had gotten wide acclaim for this, her first book and I can definitely see why. The actual writing was 'ok' to be honest and there are moments in the book where I find myself getting annoyed with the main character 'Annie O'Sullivan' herself. Clearly I am not a young woman who has never been abducted but let's just say I doubt I would have made with some of the decisions she made. I actually enjoyed how the story was done... from the vantage point of therapy sessions. You can see how she has somewhat of a mental breakdown through the therapy sessions as she works through certain aspects of what happened. The thing though that made this book stand out was the ending... All I can say is that I did NOT see that coming....
Angela Dawe did an exceptional job to be honest. She was able to portray that 'unfurling from at ends' feeling whilst listening to the book which was actually quite fitting for this book.
Initially while writing this review I was on the fence about this book to be honest but thinking back now.... the good outweighs the bad. I am not going to say this was some work of art however it was interesting and that twist! That ending twist was truly something.

Great story but don't read if you're depressed
Still Missing is a real thriller that includes surprises from the beginning through to the very end. I couldn't stop listening. And I tried - because it's a book about the worst of humanity. About some of the really ugly things people do to those they love & to strangers. It is NOT an uplifting book. From my perspective, no one in it is likable. But the story itself & the characterization & performance are excellent. The personal growth & development of the main character is superbly written & read. I highly recommend Still Missing - but only if your emotions are in a good place.

You'll Love It!!!!!
What an excellent book! From the first page through the last, the book will hold you spellbound. Annie is kidnapped by a psychopath and this is her, her family's and the kidnapper's story. I felt as if I were actually listening in to her therapy sessions, in fact, I felt as if I were Annie, and it was/had actually happened to me! Very disturbing & thought provoking - I finished it about a week ago and have kept thinking about it since. The narrator did a SUPERB job of reading - another review states the reading was flat..... it was flat only when it NEEDED TO BE - to show Annie's mental state. I personally didn't notice overuse of profanity - again, only when it was needed. EXCELLENT, SUPERB - the best I've listened to! I'll be watching for another book from this wonderful author.

My first time...was NOT disappointing
This was my first "book on tape". I downloaded this book to my IPOD the night before a family vacation. I thought as I was downloading..."how will I ever get into a book that someone else is reading aloud to me??" I couldn't turn off my IPOD. I found myself wanting to just sit and listen to find out what happened next! I loved the story line and will be looking for similar books by the same author and/or narrator! Great first time experience!!

Wow! What a fantastic story and new author
I certainly hope the author didn't get this story from first-hand experience! What a thriller. Without giving anything away, this is one creepy story. Chevy wrote a very well thought-out tale of personal tragedy, psychological torment and an unbelievable, fantastic ending.
Hope this isn't a one-hit wonder, because I'm really looking forward to the next story from this author.

This audiobook absolutely hooked me in & kept me interested all the way through. The twists & turns were completely unanticipated and so well done for a first time author! I would have thought she'd written many, many suspenseful books after reading this one. The delivery was also very creative, being told in therapy sessions...very nice. The narrator was excellent, too. I just can't say enough about this book-it stayed with me for days!

Still Wish I Was Listening to This One
Once you are plugged in to this one, you can't get unplugged...and once you are done, you hope for more, if not from Annie, at least from this great new author.

I enjoyed this book, even though I felt rigid and uncomfortable the entire time. Anyone who has ever felt true greif and fear knows this reader did a great job. The author gives you the story while leaving just enough room for your mind to imagine the parts that are too hard for words.

Still Missing
Couldn't stop listening, it was a great thriller. One word of caution: terrible language! F-word throughout the whole book! Too bad. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who is sensitive to that. (Also, it describes a rape in detail.)

Red Sox spring training camper Doyle ready to face BCBy STEVE BUCKLEY
Boston Herald
February 19. 2013 9:16PM
FORT MYERS, Fla. - Terry Doyle arrived in the Red Sox clubhouse at JetBlue Park early Monday morning. So early, in fact, that he allowed himself a couple of fist pumps when he saw his name on the bulletin board.
Put yourself in his spikes: You're a former Boston College pitcher in camp as a nonroster player, and you've just learned you'll be working an inning on Thursday, when the Red Sox play their annual exhibition game against the Eagles.
"I'm excited," said Doyle, who grew up in Salem. "It's the first outing of the spring, and to be able to do it against the alma mater in a game that's so much fun for the school, and for the guys on the team, I'm looking forward to it and I'm really glad they gave me a chance."
Doyle, 27, has kicked around for a while. He signed with the White Sox after being selected in the 37th round of the 2008 amateur draft. The Twins selected him in the Rule V draft last year, but he didn't make the team and was sent back to the White Sox, and pitched well for their Triple-A Charlotte club - a 6-3 record and 2.83 ERA in 12 appearances, 11 of them starts - before making a midseason move to Japan to pitch for the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks.
Now he's back in the United States, hoping to find a spot with the team he rooted for as a kid. Oddly, his first test will be against BC.
"It's going to be against guys I've worked out with the last couple of offseasons," he said. "It's guys I know and guys who caught my bullpen sessions there, and played catch with me.
"But I'm still trying to win a job," he said. "And trying to go out there and pitch a scoreless inning and throw as many strikes as I can and get guys out."
Asked, for instance, how he'll pitch if he faces BC catcher Matt Pare, he said, "I haven't actually seen him hit much, so I'm just going to do what I do, get ahead on the count and try to put him away."
The Red Sox game against BC begins at 4 p.m. The Red Sox also play Northeastern at 1:35 p.m. Both games will be seven innings.

The Observer's restaurant reviewer Jay Rayner has been named number one food and drink journalist in the UK – as voted for by journalists themselves and the public.
Press Gazette has compiled a top 50 list of journalists working in this sector based on a survey of specialist journalists and of the general public. The public sample comprised a weighted nationwide survey of 1,000 people and was carried out by ICD Research.
Rayner emerged as number one in both surveys and was followed in the top 50 by AA Gill of the Sunday Times at two and then Nigel Slater of The Observer in third place.
Asked by Press Gazette what the secret of writing a good restaurant review is, Rayner said: 'I think the most important thing to remember is that you are not selling restaurants you are selling newspapers. I don't think I am employed because I opine on whether the meat was overcooked or because the fish was raw, but because I can keep writing a column that people want to read."
Rayner started off as a gossip columnist at The Observer after being editor of the student newspaper at Leeds University. He worked as a news and feature writer for the next 11 years before becoming the paper's restaurant critic in 1999.
He said: "At the point when the restaurant critic job came up on The Observer I had pretty much deputised on every column. In the sense that I've done lots of other things I'm not that dissimilar to the other people who do it. So when people say to me 'how do I become a restaurant critic' I say go and become a journalist."
Rayner's TV journalism career took off after he was asked to front an investigation into food prices for Channel 4's Dispatches in 2007. He's now a regular face in prime-time as a reporter for The One Show on BBC One.
Asked to pick out his favourite food and drink journalists he cited Daily Telegraph reporter Harry Wallop and Metro restaurant reviewer Marina O'Loughlin.
A fuller interview with Rayner – as well as the full top 50 UK food and drink journalists – is published in the July edition of Press Gazette magazine, which is only available to digital and print subscribers.

¾ of a dream
Sienna Miller is dating Tom Sturridge. Tom Sturridge is best friends with Robert Pattinson. Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are in love. And I have been gossip-wishing about their double date for a while now. ¾ of it happened last night in London.
Sienna, Sturridge, and Stewart hooked up at the Groucho Club. They were there for about an hour and a half, leaving just before 3am. What do you think Sienna Miller talks about with Kristen Stewart? This... I am dying to know. Because, on paper at least, those two, I mean it's not the same. I've seen Sienna when she's out. That girl has a lot of Lohan in her. What? That was before? OK totally. Sienna reads now. So they discussed books?
Anyway, joining the group was Garrett Hedlund who worked with both Stewart and Sturridge in the forthcoming On The Road. Stewart and Hedlund were both in town being honoured the night before at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards. They are friends. But I would like to share with you an example of what's been pounding my inbox today which... I've selected these three among lots because, well, I kinda think it's the same person. Either that or there's a place where they gather online and yell about the theories and all come to the same conclusion. Whatever. It's awesome.
From Lauren K:
Kristen seen out last night on a double-date with Garrett, Sienna and TomStu,last night in london,guess you finally got your wish. once a cheater always a cheater and kristen just proved it last night.while rob is working she was out f-cking garrett.this girl sleeps with every guy she works with and she doesnt even have the balls to break up with the bf first.

Is a Student with Children But No Income Considered to be Independent?
By The Fastweb Team
August 31, 2017
I am under 24 years of age. I did not have any income the year before last. I have 2 children and live with a partner of 6 years. He is the father of my children. We are not married. He supported us on his income; my mother did not. I was a stay at home mom. My school is telling me I need to report my mother's information on the FAFSA. But the people with FAFSA said I do not. I keep getting different answers to what I should do.
Not to mention that I have been asking my mom to give me the information since last semester, which I could not afford so I dropped my classes. She said I'm an adult and I should be able to handle this myself.
My school told me to write a statement of common law marriage to put down my significant other's tax information so I could get financial aid for this year. To me that is just all confusing, so I do not want to do that until it legally says we are married.
I have been working since June of last year, but I'm not sure how much I would have to make to say I provided half the support for my kids. I only made under $8,000 last year. I also do not claim the kids on my taxes; their father does.
I am just going to start out new for this year and deal with the stress of paying out of pocket. But it's draining me. I won't be able to continue like this. I do not know what I am supposed to do. Please help point me in the right direction. — Desiree
The answer provided by the FAFSA people, also known as the Federal Student Aid Information Center (1-800-4-FED-AID), is correct.
Parental information is not required on the FAFSA of an independent student. An applicant who has one or more dependents other than a spouse is considered to be an independent student. (The refusal of the applicant's parent to complete the FAFSA is irrelevant to the determination of the applicant's dependency status.)
For the applicant's children to be considered dependents of the applicant, the applicant must provide more than half of the children's support. (It is sufficient if the applicant provides more than half support to a single child, even if she has multiple children, since just one dependent child is sufficient to make the applicant independent.)
The definition of support includes more than just the cash and in-kind support that is directly provided by the applicant. Any support received by the applicant for her children counts as part of the support she provides to her children, so long as the support was not received from the applicant's parents. For example, any support the applicant receives from the children's father counts as part of her support for the children. Money received from government benefit programs, such as TANF, also counts as part of the applicant's support for the children. (Note that the definition of support used for federal student aid purposes is not the same as the definition of support used for federal income tax purposes. The treatment of government benefit programs is one of the areas in which the US Department of Education and the IRS differ.)
If the support provided by the applicant exceeds the support provided by her parents, the children are considered to be dependent on the applicant and the applicant is considered to be an independent student.
The applicant does not need to be married to her boyfriend or to list his income on her FAFSA in order to count the support he provides as part of her support of the children. However, any support he provides to the applicant or her children must be reported on her FAFSA in the line labeled "Money received, or paid on your behalf (e.g., bills), not reported elsewhere on this form." This includes not just the cash he provides and the bills he pays on the applicant's behalf, but also the fair rental value of the lodging he provides. According to page AVG-20 of the 2011-12 Application and Verification Guide, "Cash support includes money, gifts, and loans, plus housing, food, clothing, car payments or expenses, medical and dental care, college costs, and any money paid to someone else on [her] behalf."

The Eagles won their preseason opener over the Steelers, 24-23, but it wasn't necessarily a performance Andy Reid will want to bottle up and keep – especially from his starters. Here's a compilation of some winners, losers and others from last night's game after re-watching the first team tape. I included some obvious names among the reserves, but have yet to re-watch all of the final 2-1/2 quarters.
- The good thing about the 26 plays the Eagles defense allowed the Steelers in their first two drives was that it gave Mychal Kendricks, who also played in the nickel D, plenty of game action. The rookie linebacker played well. He made a few errors, but was consistently around the ball. His best sequence came on Pittsburgh's second drive. Kendricks stuffed running back Chris Rainey for a one-yard loss, and then made the correct read on a screen pass to Jonathan Dwyer and dropped him for a two-yard loss. Earlier he was stiffed armed to the ground by tailback Isaac Redman and bit on a Ben Roethlisberger pump fake that set up a third-down conversion. But the rookie had a solid debut.
- It's hard to see how Phillip Hunt can't make the 53-man roster. The second-year defensive end finished last season on a high note – recording two sacks in the final four games – and shot out of the gate this preseason. Hunt had two sacks, one time stripping the football from quarterback Byron Leftwich's hands. The Steelers' Mike Adams isn't on anyone's list of the top left tackles in the game, but Hunt's first step should give plenty of tackles fits.
- With Jeremy Maclin sidelined before the game with a hamstring strain, rookie Damaris Johnson got the start in his place. He caught Michael Vick's first pass for four yards, but his best moments came later. He flashed his impressive speed on a 40-yard punt return that was called back by an illegal block, and caught a long pass from Nick Foles in the third quarter and that he took all the way for a 70-yard touchdown. It was his double move, though, that left him virtually alone. Like Hunt, it's hard to see how the Eagles can keep Johnson off the roster. He's a much better tinker toy than Chad Hall, whose days in Philly appear numbered.
- Alex Henery's game-winning 51-yard field goal was a beauty. He split the uprights and cleared the crossbar by at least five yards. Last season, Andy Reid was reluctant to give Henery many opportunities beyond 50 yards. But last night's boot should be a confidence builder for the second-year kicker that missed a couple of late field goal attempts against the 49ers last season. Henery also had three touchbacks on kickoffs.
- It's not saying much considering Vick's small sample and Mike Kafka's shaky outing, but Nick Foles had the best night among the quarterbacks. The rookie was 6 of 10 for 144 yards and two TDs, and would have had another completion had tight end Brett Brackett not dropped a gimme. Foles' first TD pass to Johnson was an impressive one, because he smoothly moved to his right when he was flushed out the pocket, kept his eyes downfield and threw across his body 40-plus yards. His second TD pass – a 44-yarder to Mardy Gilyard – was even more impressive. He recognized the single coverage, threw a strike to the receiver's back shoulder and Gilyard took care of the rest, controlling his body and crossing the plane for the score.
- It didn't take watching the replay to come to the conclusion that Jaiquawn Jarrett had a rough night. The second-year safety was starting in place of the injured Nate Allen and he struggled mightily. Jarrett actually started a few games last season and was nowhere near as bad as he was Thursday night. It's still early and I don't want to bury the kid, but if he can't get his act together there's no way the Eagles can keep him on the roster, especially as the third safety. He totally whiffed on Emmanuel Sanders after the receiver caught a pass for a first down and picked up more yards. He took a bad angle on a Dwyer run up the middle and knocked his own man (Vinny Curry) down. Wasn't Jarrett supposed to be Mr. Sure Tackler? And then he was late to recognize that Sanders was his man inside when Leftwich hit the receiver for an easy two-yard TD catch.
- Not a great debut for DeMeco Ryans, who many hoped would be the Eagles' savior at middle linebacker. Ryans needs some time to get used to a different scheme, but he looked hesitant and, well, a little slow. The missed tackles weren't a good sign either. There were actually two missed tackle attempts by Ryans on a Dywer 7-yard run during the Steelers' second possession. Several players later, he and Derek Landri couldn't wrap up Rainey, who scooted 14 yards on third and 13. On Pittsburgh's first series, Ryans over-pursued on a 7-yard Redman carry.
- Mike Kafka did little to ease the concerns of many that think he isn't the answer at backup quarterback. He completed only 5 of 9 passes for 31 yards and made a poor decision when, in a hurry, he threw a pass right into the arms of linebacker Al Woods. On a few throws he never looked away from his first receiver and forced passes. It's too early to demote Kafka, despite the fact that fans are already in pitchfork-and-torch mode, but he needs to show something in ten days when the Eagles travel to New England for their second preseason game.
-- It's probably not entirely fair to judge Demetress Bell on just six snaps, but he got beat pretty bad by linebacker Chris Carter on the play in which Vick bruised his thumb. Vick had to step up and after he released a pass to Clay Harbor, banged his hand on the helmet of center Jason Kelce. Again, we need to see more than six snaps before we can start worrying about Bell.
- At least Nnamdi Asomugha came to tackle. The cornerback wasn't as sure-handed last season, but he made several nice stops, coming up to help out on the run. He got beat on an inside slant to Antonio Brown that picked up 14 yards, but Asomugha looked comfortable out there.
- Roethlisbeger picked on Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie with a couple of short passes, but the cornerback did well any time the quarterback tried to go over top. He made a boneheaded decision, though, when he left the ground and delivered a high blow to Leftwich on a third and long play that kept the second drive alive. Dumb penalties hindered the Eagles defense early last season.
- The return game received a nice kickoff to the season – pun intended -- when Brandon Boykin raced 46 yards on his first return. The rookie took the correct path outside and turned on the gas. Most important, he looked very comfortable with the ball, unlike Dion Lewis, who was thrust into the kickoff return role last season. Boykin wasn't as solid playing the nickel, at least based on first impressions. I recall a missed tackle on the Steelers' final touchdown – a 57-yard pass. Joselio Hanson, meanwhile, looked sharp as the first team nickel and has the edge right now. I still think the competition is up in the air, though.
- I didn't see much pressure from Brandon Graham when he lined up against the Steelers' first team offensive line. He did record a sack of Leftwich against the second teamers with a bull rush.

Post subject: Home-made Ginger Beer and the everlasting Ginger Beer Plant.
Home-made Ginger Beer and the everlasting Ginger Beer Plant.
On the run up to my recent birthday, and the dinner that Lois prepared and served for me and my friends, I decided to make some home-made Ginger Beer, to serve as both a refreshing drink, and as an ingredient in Ice Cream floaters; it was a resounding success. I chose to to utilise the "Everlasting Ginger Beer Plant" method, starting it off 14 days before my Birthday dinner.
You will need a large piece of Ginger root, of about 1lb or 450 grams.
2lbs or about 1kg of White granulated Sugar.
1 level teaspoon of yeast (I used a standard cheap bread making yeast).
The juice from 2 whole Lemons, or 4-6 tablespoons of bottled Lemon juice.
Lots of boiling water.
Equipment & Utensils.
1 Large capacity glass jar; I utilised a 1 litre capacity swing top type kilner jar. I really like this type of storage jar, finding them very convenient to use.
A grater that can produce reasonable fine gratings. I used my 6 sided" Dalak" style grater.
A plastic or wooden spatular.
A teaspoon and a tablespoon.
A two gallon/10 litre capacity plastic bucket.
A Thermometer (if you have one, but it is not necessary)
A suitable funnel that fits into the neck of the bottles.
A suitable size piece of muslin or Coffee filters; paper ones that fit into the funnel are perfect, but I use a fine wire "basket" type that I obtained from an old coffee maker.
Enough empty Plastic screw top pop/soft drinks bottles making up about 1 gallon, or 5 litres capacity; Warning; Do not use glass bottles unlesss they are either; sparkling Wine, Chamapgne or Beer bottles, and you have the tops and equipment to cap them properly. I originally used wired flip top bottles to my cost, as one bottle exploded and the resulting mess of fizzy Ginger beer sprayed about my kitchen was difficult to clean up.
Making the Ginger Beer "Starter" or "Everlasting Ginger Plant."
Day One.
Sterlise the storage jar that you have chosen to use. Boil and cool 3/4 of a pint of water, and pour this into the jar. Grate about 1 teaspoon of ginger root into the jar, add a teaspoon of sugar, and stir well preferably with a plastic spatular. A few minutes later when the ingredients have started to settle, add the yeast to the surface of the mixture; do not stir again at this point, the yeast needs some oxygen through contact with the air to begin doing it's thing. Leave the top off of the jar and allow it to stand for about 8-10 hours or over night, then seal the jar with it's lid.
Day Two.
Add 1 teaspoon of finely grated Ginger root, and 1 teaspoon of sugar, stir in well and reseal the lid on the jar.
Day Three.
Add 1 teaspoon of finely grated Ginger root, and 1 teaspoon of sugar, stir in well and reseal the lid on the jar.
Day Four.
Add 1 teaspoon of finely grated Ginger root, and 1 teaspoon of sugar, stir in well and reseal the lid on the jar.
Day Five.
Add 1 teaspoon of finely grated Ginger root, and 1 teaspoon of sugar, stir in well and reseal the lid on the jar.
Day Six.
Add 1 teaspoon of finely grated Ginger root, and 1 teaspoon of sugar, stir in well and reseal the lid on the jar.
Day Seven.
Making and Bottling the Ginger beer.
Clean and sterlise the following; Bucket, Bottles, and Funnel.
To make 1 gallon or about 5 litres of Ginger beer; weigh out 1 & 1/2 lbs (or about 680 grams) of sugar and finely grate 4 heaped tablepoons of Ginger root and add these to the bucket. Dissolve the sugar with 1/2 a gallon or 2.5 litres of boiling water. Add the rest of the boiling water to make up the rest of the 1 gallon or 5 litres while constantly stirring, and then add the Lemon juice. Allow this mixture to stand and cool to below 40 degrees centigrade (or just above body temperature, if you do not have a thermometer). Install the muslin/paper coffee filter into the funnel, and place over the bucket. You may need the assistance of a second person for this, but I cheated, and drilled a hole in a length of wood to act as a third hand and hold the funnel steady for me. Strain the mixture from your starter jar thorugh the filter, allowing it to blend into the bucket of other ingredients. Scoop a jug full from the bucket and pour over the starter again, just to rinse it through a bit, and then gently squeeze the remaining juices from the starter. Stir the mixture in the bucket well, and allow to stand until it has stabalised at room temperature. Then using the funnel and filter, bottle off and allow to ferment for seven days before chilling and serving. If you have a home-brewing hydrometer this is the time to take your initial reading.
You now have two choices regarding the original Ginger Beer starter;
A) Throw away the starter.
Half the starter. Boil and cool about 3/4 pint of water and add to the original jar, grate 1 teaspoon of Ginger root and add to the jar, stir in another 1 teaspoon of Sugar, and then add the saved half of the original starter. Continue adding more grated Ginger and Sugar as outlined in the instructions above, and in seven days you can make another batch of very tasty Ginger Beer. You can then use the other half of the starter to begin again, doubling your Ginger Beer making capacity, give it away as a gift to a friend or family member, or throw it away whilst retaining and nurturing your half of the original starter.
My starting Specific Gravity reading was; 1.060 and after week of fermenting in the bottles a very low ABV of 0.75% was obtained. This provided a very tasty and refreshing drink before my Birthday dinner party, with the " Coup de grace" being a rather good Ginger beer ice cream floater for dessert. At seven days old, the taste was surprisingly sweet and smooth with a little hint of heat from the Ginger, and a very pleasent "Cream Soda" type texture on the tongue. However, after 14 days of fermenting in the bottles, the remaining 2 litres had acheived a very respectable ABV of 6.35%, the taste of Ginger had sharpened somewhat, but still had that "Cream Soda" type texture on the tongue, leaving the mouth dry, and giving a bit of a bubbly hot smack to the tonsils when swallowed. Lois and I drank the remaining 2 litres, resulting in us then enjoying one of those "tiddly, giggly, pissed and playful" evenings together.
The ingredients all together and ready to start making the starter; 2 teaspoons of sugar, a piece of root ginger, yeast, and warm water.
The ginger root finely grated;
The starter all made up and in it's jar:
The yeast added to the starter:
The starter's daily feed of; finely grated root ginger and sugar:
30 minutes later and the refuelled starter is beginning to ferment:
Making the Ginger Beer; the boiled water, dissolved sugar and extra grated ginger cooling in the bucket, ready for the addition of the starter:
The starter ready to be added to the rest of the batch of Ginger Beer ingredients:
The funnel and filter in postition over the bucket; see how easy it is with a drilled piece of wood:
Pouring the starter in;
Straining the starter through the filter:
Close up of the now drained starter in the filter; this is when you half it, and begin all over again:
The initial bottling of the ginger beer, so that it ferments in the bottles. Warning; do not use glass bottles as shown in the photo(s). Use srew topped plastic fizzy pop bottles.
The first bottle filled and ready for capping:
My first gallon of ginger beer, which will be ready to drink in seven days time:

CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - A security guard was found dead at a downtown hotel on Friday, which also happened to be his 58th birthday.
Homicide detectives were called to the Hilton Netherland Plaza in downtown Cincinnati early Friday morning.
They found Richard Campbell, 58, dead in an emergency staircase. Officers say Campbell had been stabbed.
He was first found by a fellow employee and hotel management called 911 around 6 a.m., and moments later, police and fire department first responders arrived.
Cincinnati Police Chief James Craig held a press conference on Friday, and said they are currently investigating to find out the specifics of the scene.
"Stab, some kind of stab. We don't know what instrument was used, sharp edged object. It's really too soon to know, but the coroner's office should be able to have that information," said Craig.
Craig says Campbell came into work on Friday morning, sometime around 5 a.m. and at some point reported in on his radio around the time of the stabbing.
"He made a radio transmission. We don't know if he specifically stated he needed help, just that he did transmit and referenced a level, maybe a floor where he was located. So, it hasn't been articulated that he was calling for help," said Craig.
Police are early in their investigation, but Chief Craig said there's no reason for the public to feel threatened.
Craig revealed that Friday was Campbell's 58th birthday, and he was well liked at the job he worked for eight years.
"He was loved by everyone, was enthusiastic about the work he performed for the hotel and for the guests. We also learned he was a Vietnam vet, served our country," he said.
A statement from hotel managing director, Michel Sheer, reads in part:
"This morning a member of our security staff was involved in a situation with an unknown person in an emergency staircase in the care tower complex...Our most sincere condolences go to the officer's family. His friends and colleagues here at the hotel are deeply saddened by this senseless loss."
Police say they're reviewing surveillance video and other evidence recovered from the scene in an effort to find Richard Campbell's killer.
If you know anything about his death, contact Cincinnati police.

Companies in the U.S. added fewer workers in November than a month earlier after superstorm Sandy battered the East Coast and temporarily shuttered some businesses.
The 118,000 increase in employment followed a revised 157,000 gain in October that was less than initially estimated, data from the Roseland, New Jersey-based ADP Research Institute showed today. The median forecast of 38 economists surveyed by Bloomberg projected a 125,000 rise in November. The report estimated that Sandy reduced payrolls by about 86,000.
Hiring plans were put off by companies in the mid-Atlantic, a three-state region that employs about 14 percent of U.S. workers, as they recovered from Sandy. Firms are also awaiting a solution by lawmakers in Washington to avoid automatic tax increases and budget cuts that raise the risk of recession in 2013.
"The manufacturing, retailing, leisure and hospitality, and temporary help industries were hit particularly hard by the storm," Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics Inc., said in a statement. Moody's produces the figures with ADP.
Aside from Sandy, "the job market turned in a good performance during the month," Zandi said. "This is especially impressive given the uncertainty created by the presidential election and the fast-approaching fiscal cliff."
Stock Futures
Stocks gains after the figures, with the Standard & Poor's 500 Index rising 0.1 percent to 1,407.73 at 9:51 a.m. in New York.
Estimates in the Bloomberg survey ranged from 35,000 to 174,000. ADP initially estimated a 158,000 gain in October payrolls.
Goods-producing industries, which include manufacturers and construction companies, added 4,000 workers, today's ADP figures showed. Construction employment increased by 23,000, while factory employment declined by 16,000.
Service providers added 114,000 workers.
Companies employing more than 499 workers increased payrolls by about 66,000 jobs. Medium-sized businesses, with 50 to 499 employees, added 33,000, and small companies took on 19,000, ADP said.
"Outside of Sandy, I think businesses are still hiring," said Gus Faucher, a senior economist at PNC Financial Services Group Inc. in Pittsburgh. "There's underlying job growth that's strong enough to employ new entrants into the labor force as well as some of those who lost their jobs going into the recession."

Few weeks back oil (NYMEX:CLX13) reversed sharply from the $112 high when a five wave rally from $91.00 area completed a larger degree of an extended wave 3. As such, the contra-trend reaction is called a corrective retracement that is now unfolding but maybe near completion. We are tracking red wave 4) that may look for a support around 50% Fibonacci retracement level compared to wave 3); that's one of the most important Fibonacci levels when you are looking at a reversal point. It's also important to know that the $92 figure represents invalidation level of our bullish forecast, because wave 4) must not fall into the region of a wave 1).
Oil Daily
On the 4h chart below we can see that oil extended its weakness after recent sell-off from the $108 zone at the end of the last week. Current bearish leg will delay an upward bullish structure, but it does not change the larger picture that suggests that move from the top is corrective; an A-B-C retracement in wave 4) that could look for a completion in $101-$103 zone, at wave C - wave A equality level. This has already been tested so bounce in price could be near.
If you are one of the patient traders, then you will wait on the bottom to form first, before you may start to consider long entries. So from a confirmation and trading point of view it would be nice to see an impulsive upward reaction back to the $106 level to confirm a change in trend; from a bearish corrective retracement up to bullish continuation.
Elliott wave traders will know that impulse is a five wave pattern that occurs in the direction of a larger trend, so only this type of a rally can put bullish waves back in control. In such case traders could be interested in long opportunities.

Chapel Rededication Ceremony: President Barry Mills
Story posted October 26, 2004
The Bowdoin College Chapel was rededicated on Thursday, October 21, 2004. Following is the text of President Barry Mills' remarks at the event.
It is my pleasure to welcome you all to this important milestone for the College - the rededication of the Bowdoin College Chapel. The Bowdoin quad is among the classic quadrangles in America, and our Chapel sits majestically and proudly at its center. I have said many times that the Quad is the spiritual home of the College - the heart of the College from which all of the vitality and energy and enthusiasm spreads throughout our College campus. We are all delighted to rejoice in this magnificent restoration and to have our quad back in its peaceful and spiritually restorative state. The Chapel bells are ringing again and announcing near and far that all is well at our beloved Bowdoin.
We rededicate this Chapel tonight at the completion of the second phase of its restoration. Back in 1998, President Edwards and the community rejoiced at the renovation, restoration and reconstruction that returned the interior of this important chapel to its historic splendor. I remember my first visit to this Chapel back in 1968 and my return in 1998 to discover the magnificence of the ceiling, the woodwork, the stars and the paintings that were hidden in 1968 with years of dust and grime. That restoration project was a work of art and we celebrate that restoration tonight.
The Chapel was the home for many years of the College library, its art gallery, meeting rooms and for many, too many years, the psychology department at Bowdoin - a problem we will solve tomorrow night as we dedicate Kanbar Hall. Professor Wegner will talk to you tonight about some of the history of this building - but let me for a moment talk about one of the great traditions at Bowdoin that this Chapel represents.
Until 1967, the College had the tradition known as Chapel. I came to Bowdoin in 1968 and by this point Chapel was no longer required. For many years in the 1900s daily attendance at Chapel was a required event for all Bowdoin students. There are many alums who will tell us about Chapel and how it represented for them some of their most vivid and important memories at the College as important lessons were learned and talks heard. For others, Chapel is also an important memory - but more for the strategies of being counted in attendance as students plotted schemes to be registered daily in attendance as they dashed off through the side and front doors to other more, shall we say, enthusiastic encounters on the quad, on the athletic field or in the dining hall.
But, history tells us that many important lessons were learned in this Chapel. Throughout the 1900s Bowdoin's president Casey Sills would speak to the students each Wednesday and sometimes as often as 2-3 times a week. Herbert Ross Brown's book on the life of Sills recounts these talks.
As Brown writes, in his early days Sills would talk about the "restoration of the central purpose of the College." Undergraduates who wished to "do something for the College" were encouraged to extend their ambition to include distinguished work in the classroom. He reminded students that the success of their alma mater rested on intellectual achievement, and that they, as well as their teachers, had a responsibility to contribute to her reputation.
Brown also tells us that Sills often spoke of personal integrity and its importance to the Bowdoin community - focusing on the experiences of alums like General Thomas Hubbard who refused to make a huge profit by selling out the rights of minority shareholders in a western railroad he controlled - lessons all too important today in a corporate America shattered by the scandal of self-interest.
He often exhorted students to take an interest in politics, citing the careers of Bowdoin men in public service. Student indifference "is engendered by a kind of defeatism unworthy of the younger generation."
The spirit of our tradition of Chapel was a good one. It was a time when college presidents across this country were looked to and expected to comment on the affairs of the day. Today this is a tradition that probably has no more support than it did back in my day in the late '60s. College presidents today are advised to shy away from the controversial, the political, the moral for fear of alienating some group, out of a commitment to political correctness, and frankly, for fear of disagreeing with an important donor. And so, we have lost the voices of our leaders of our best colleges and universities in America out of a fear of alienating somebody.
So in the past tradition of Chapel, let me venture into dangerous territory abandoned by college presidents and take a brief moment to talk about an issue that is vitally important to me and to all of us. I speak to you tonight, not stating Bowdoin's position, but my personal view on an important issue facing us in Maine - the tax cap proposal limiting increases in real property taxes in Maine.
This is bad policy and bad law. I urge all of you to vote no. My views on this subject are not out of self interest for Bowdoin motivated because I fear new financial burdens for the College - we are among the largest taxpayers in Brunswick and we contribute our fair share economically to this community as the economic engine of this area.
My view is grounded on my belief that human capital is the answer to the economic woes of this State and jeopardizing the education of our children and this state's ability and reputation in the education of our kids is a tragic mistake. I understand that Maine is a very tough place to do business and the tax burden is unacceptable. There is great frustration with our leaders in their inability to lead us to a more affordable economy.
Many believe the tax cap proposal is the only way to send our leaders a message that will get their attention and force them to fix the economic problems of the State - but they are wrong in thinking this is the proper tool to send the message. We have constitutional means through which to send that message - encouraging the right people to run for office with the right ideas and then sending to them to Augusta.
For those who think this proposal will not have serious negative consequences - both anticipated and unintended - I speak to you with experience as a large employer in this State who must recruit talented people to work in this community. We are able to recruit talent to Bowdoin in large part because Maine is such a desirable place to live and raise a family. Maine - The Way Life Should Be - great public schools for our kids - a safe and secure community - a community environment for families. We will jeopardize that reputation and reality that brings talented people to Maine and keeps them here while it takes years to rationalize our economic system if the tax cap proposal passes. This proposal goes directly against our core values here in this state. I urge you to get educated on the realities of this proposal and exercise your right to vote on this important issue to us all.
Now back to our Chapel, nearly eight years ago to this day - Bill Gardiner, our talented and dedicated past Director of Facilities Management, asked Brent Gabby from Simpson Gumpert and Hagert, our design engineers, to come to Bowdoin and look at the Chapel towers - they seemed to be bulging and cracking. Creative and imaginative solutions were implemented to stabilize the towers. Periodically we would learn of a bit more leaning and cracking. I arrived here on campus in 2001 and Bill took me aside one fall day and showed me this very large boulder that had fallen off the chapel towers from some significant height. I'm not sure if it was the New Yorker in me surrounded by tall buildings or the lawyer in me, or both, that said - time to scaffold the building - and fast.
Bill Gardiner and Dave D'Angelo led the effort to figure out a solution to our problem. Don Borkowski, the project manager, was on the front line leading the charge from the outset until the final work was completed a few days ago. I want to thank Bill, Dave and especially Don for their dedicated work on this project. Each is a real professional and they assembled a remarkable team.
First, let me recognize Simpson Gumpert and Heger our design engineers - Don Dusenberry, Kevin Cash, Brent Gabby and Erin Rockwell-Severson. Your team did great work for us, showing real expertise and professionalism as you continued to disclose to us problems we wish we didn't have.
And to our contractor - Consigli Construction - thank you for a remarkable job. Every stone removed, numbered and replaced - a fantastic and artistic job - with a crane that made Bowdoin look like our version of the New York World's Fair. Thank you to Anthony Consigli, president; Matt Tonello, project executive; Chris Daybeck, project engineer; Mike Boucher superintendent; and Keith Lyford, masonry foreman. On time and on budget make the facilities guys and their president look good - thank you.
I would also like to thank Professor Mary Hunter for her advice and assistance and also thank Delmar Small from the music department for his help on the project.
And an additional thank you go to Geoffrey and Cecilia LaChance from Highland Road here in Brunswick who own the original quarry - we took 20 fresh loads of stone to do this job - and to Art Hussey - professor of Geology Emeritus, for helping us solve the mystery of our worldwide search, where did the stone come from - less than a mile from campus.
And finally, there are many famous stories of the original funding of this Chapel back in the 1800s. There are also some very interesting stories on the funding of our tower renovation in the year 2001. I would like to thank my muse and close friend Arthur Schraam from Los Angeles who suggested to me that I read our insurance policy to see if we have collapse insurance. And thank you to Ron Cohen of the firm Tyler Cooper and Alcorn, in New Haven, Connecticut, and Jamie Kilbreth of the firm Verrill and Dana who armed us with the legal analysis to convince the insurance company that the towers had collapsed. Who says lawyers aren't visionaries and creative?
This is a remarkable project and a wonderfully majestic and beautiful building. In this magnificent room there are over a 100 years of Bowdoin memories. Generations of students who have learned here, students who have sung here, alums who were married here and so many more memories. Please join me for a moment of personal quiet reflection as you take joy in our Chapel.
We at Bowdoin understand our responsibility to preserve and enhance this beautiful and historic campus. Thank you to all who have helped us in our role of steward of our beautiful Bowdoin College.
Thank you and thank you all for being with us tonight.

Flight Tracking Part Deux
It is that time again! As originally tweeted by VarsityBlue. What we have here is a flight heading from Ann Arbor to Hollywood, Fl (which is slightly north of Miami). Gee....Could DB be on the flight? Or Perhaps MSC too? Or it could just be some researchers heading down the U.

By JEFF MARTIN
Associated Press
ATLANTA (AP) - A city official in Georgia has been arrested on charges of willfully obstructing law enforcement and influencing a witness in the case involving a 13-month-old boy who was fatally shot last week.
Alan David Tucker, an attorney representing Brunswick city commissioner and mayor pro tem James Henry Brooks Sr., tells WTLF-TV (http://fcnews.tv/161O2Gc ) Brooks was arrested for stepping between police and the mother of 17-year-old suspect De'Marquise Elkins when police tried speaking with her during a court appearance Monday.
Sheriff's officials say Brooks is being held in the Glynn County jail on $1,256 bond on the obstruction charge, and is being held without bond on the charge of influencing a witness.
Tucker says will be at the District Attorney's office Friday morning to try to get Brooks out of jail.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – UCSB shook off a 3-2 loss to Long Beach State with a convincing 3-0 sweep over UC Irvine in the Thunderdome on Saturday night. It was the first time Santa Barbara blanked Irvine since the 2011 season.
UCSB improves to 6-8 overall, and 1-1 in Big West play. The Anteaters fall to 9-7, and are now 0-2 in conference.
The Gaucho offense was instrumental in the sweep, as the team collectively hit a .394 kill percentage. Leading the attack were Katey Thompson and Ali Spindt with 10 kills apiece, while middle blocker Phoebe Grunt checked in with eight.
"Tonight we had just a very productive offensive night with so many players contributing," UCSB Head Coach Nicole Lantagne Welch said. "I give a lot of credit to our passing and setting, which allowed for our hitters to be smart when attacking."
Jaylen Villanueva for the second night in a row gave the Gauchos a threat coming off the bench. She finished the night with five kills and five block assists, with perhaps the second game being her best when she found a pair of kills and four block assists.
In the first set, the Anteaters took an early lead 8-4 lead, primarily from service aces. The Gauchos shrugged off Irvine's four straight points with a 5-1 run to tie the game at nine. UCSB would eventually take pull out ahead with a 21-19 advantage.
From there, the Gauchos went on to score the final four points of the set, securing the 1-0 lead. Spindt provided the run's exclamation mark with the set-clinching kill at 25-19.
In the second set, Thompson recorded a kill to break a 3-3 tie and give the Gauchos their first lead of the game. UCSB never gave up their lead after that play and even had a set point opportunity at 24-18.
The Anteaters kept UCSB on its toes, though, and rattled off three straight points. The comeback effort would not be enough, though, as Hanna Nielson made her only kill of the night to give UCSB the second set victory.
The third set showed both teams competing in a neck-and-neck race for the final point. With Irvine looking to force a fourth set, they gave the Gauchos a game where a two-point lead would be the most one team would have over the other.
Eventually, the Gauchos had match point at 24-23. However, UC Irvine's Cassidy Pickrell made a kill to force the set to go into extra points. The Gauchos decided not to delay their sweep any more than that.
An Anteater mishandle put UCSB in another match point scenario and, this time, Katey Thompson threw down the game winning final kill from Villanueva.
"We've improved greatly from our very first match," Lantagne Welch noted. "We gained a lot of experience from our difficult nonconference schedule and the good thing is we're taking steps in the right direction."
The Gauchos will wrap up their three-match home stand next Saturday when they host their top-rival Cal Poly at the Thunderdome at 7 p.m.

|SA Seasonal Rainfall Outlook: probabilities for May to July 2004, issued 19th April 2004
Neutral seasonal rainfall odds
The Bureau's seasonal rainfall outlook for the coming three months shows the chances of exceeding the median are now close to 50:50 in South Australia. This outlook pattern is a result of the combined effects of generally above average temperatures in both the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
For the May to July period, the chances of above median rainfall are between 45 and 55% across SA (see map). So with climate patterns like the current, about five May to July periods out of ten are expected to be wetter than average across the State, with about five out of ten being drier.
Outlook confidence is related to the combined influence of Pacific and Indian Ocean temperatures on seasonal rainfall. During the May to July period, history shows this influence to be only weakly or very weakly consistent across South Australia (see background information).
Both the Indian and tropical Pacific Oceans remain warmer than average, although there has been a cooling trend in each. For more detail see the the El Niño Wrap-Up.
The Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) has shown strong month-to-month variations recently, in association with active and inactive phases of the northern Australian monsoon. March's value was zero following February's +9 and 12 in January. The approximate SOI for the 30 days ending 15th April was 20.

|More information on this outlook is available from 9.00am to 5.00pm (CDT) Monday to Friday by contacting the Climate and Consultancy section in the Bureau's Adelaide Office: (08) 8366 2664.
THE NEXT ISSUE OF THE SEASONAL OUTLOOK IS EXPECTED BY 25th MAY 2004.

Culture Shock
Dates 20 Jul '10 to 14 Aug '10
Flexible? Somewhat
Est. Cost 500 - 1,500 GBP (GBP United Kingdom Pounds)
Type Travel Partners Wanted
Name Balkans Trip
Vanessa Hi Lauren - I can't make it (wish I could!) - but have travelled through that area (couple of years ago now...'06/'07).
When I was there trains were infrequent and ran only between some major towns - but the bus system was really good (private minivans too) - I don't think you'll get value from a rail pass.
Had trouble finding out how to travel south from Montenegro to Albania as only private buses were running the route (which seem to have random pick-up/drop-off spots) - so I went the other way from Greece - Albania - Montenegro which somehow seemed better organised (i.e I found a way!). Things keep changing there though and if you have time then there's always a way!
Anyway that's my 2 cents worth...
Hope you have a great trip! :) Vanessa
