For any prime p, one has the Frobenius homomorphism Fp defined on rings of characteristic p.
Is there any kind of object, say U, with a "universal Frobenius map" F such that for any prime p and any ring R of characteristic p we can view the Frobenius Fp over R as "the" base change of F from U to R?
I have the following picture in mind: In some sense it should be possible to view the category of Z-algebras as a sheaf of categories over Spec Z such that the fibre over Spec Fp is just the category of F_p-algebras. A natural transformation f of the identity functor on the category of Z-algebras should restrict to a natural transformation fp of the identity functor on the category of Fp-algebras. In this naive picture one cannot expect the existence of an f such that fp is the Frobenius on Fp-algebras for all primes p. But is there way to make this picture work?
Another possible way to answer my question could be the following: Is there a classifying topos of, say, algebras with a Frobenius action? By this I mean the following: Is there a topos E with a fixed ring object R and an algebra A over it and an R-linear endomorphism f of A such that for any other topos E' with similar data R', A' there is a unique morphism of topoi E' -> E that pulls back R, A to R', A' and such that f is pulled back to the Frobenius fp of A' in case R' is of prime characteristic.
(Feel free to modify my two pictures to make them work.)


text: Hi, I'm sorry about that but I really need some help. I have got and ISPConfig3 installation with 2 servers. 1 master which controls everything but mail and a second one, debian lenny vps, which deals with mail and nothing else. Everything was running ok, but suddenly que have got into trouble because every change we make about mail just piles up in master queue forever. I have followed every suggestions I have found in forums with no success. Master server.php shows no errors. Slave (mail) server.php shows "finished" even though I have tried to switch debug on manually (I can't do it trought ispconfig interface because the slave seems to have stopped reading changes from master). I haven't updated or changed any OS either. It just happened from one day to another. The secondary mail server is running properly but we can't change anything in it because of this broken link with master. Is there any action that I could take in order to try to find what is going on here?.

Key to the Table Above
The Carcinogenic Potency Database (CPDB) is a unique and widely used international resource of the results of 6540 chronic, long-term animal cancer tests on 1547 chemicals. The CPDB provides easy access to the bioassay literature, with qualitative and quantitative analyses of both positive and negative experiments that have been published over the past 50 years in the general literature through 2001 and by the National Cancer Institute/National Toxicology Program through 2004. The CPDB standardizes the diverse literature of cancer bioassays that vary widely in protocol, histopathological examination and nomenclature, and in the published author's choices of what information to provide in their papers. Results are reported in the CPDB for tests in rats, mice, hamsters, dogs, and nonhuman primates.
For each experiment, information is included on species, strain, and sex of test animal; features of experimental protocol such as route of administration, duration of dosing, dose level(s) in mg/kg body weight/day, and duration of experiment; experimental results are provided on target organ, tumor type, and tumor incidence; carcinogenic potency (TD50) and its statistical significance; shape of the dose-response, author's opinion as to carcinogenicity, and literature citation.
Only tests with dosing for at least ¼ the standard lifespan of the species and experiment length at least ½ the lifespan are included in the CPDB. Only routes of administration with whole body exposure are included. Doses are standardized, average dose rates in mg/kg/day. A description of methods used in the CPDB to standardize the diverse literature of animal cancer tests is presented for: 1) Criteria for inclusion of experiments 2) Standardization of average daily dose levels and 3) TD50 estimation for a standard lifespan. See Methods for other details.
TD50 provides a standardized quantitative measure that can be used for comparisons and analyses of many issues in carcinogenesis. The range of TD50 values across chemicals that are rodent carcinogens is more than 100 million-fold. More than half the chemicals tested are positive in at least one experiment.
A plot of all results on each experiment in the CPDB for this chemical is presented below. These results are the source information for the Cancer Test Summary table above.

Picnic! - Wordless Wednesday
(Digital Image. Photograph Privately Held By Cynthia Shenette; Photograph and Text, Copyright (c) 2013 Cynthia Shenette) Summer is picnic time! This photo was probably taken at one of St. Mary's (Our Lady of Czestochowa) parish picnics in Worcester, MA in the late 1910s. My grandmother, Antonina (Bulak) Szerejko is the first young woman on the left. I believe my grandfather, Adolf Szerejko, is the young man seated to her left.

I have pictures of both sets of grandparents at two different picnics taken about the same time as this one was. They were dressed up, with the women in white dresses just like this. Sigh.

Claudia - It is hard to imagine your grandparents young. One of the things I love about these candids is everyone is so relaxed and real, so different than in the typical posed studio portrait. I feel like you really get a sense of the person in the photograph.
Kristin - The light or white dresses are lovely. It's nice, too, because the white dresses and shoes definitely indicate the photo was taken in the summer. My grandmother would have never worn white shoes out of season!
Thank you both for your comments!

Restoring Moodle from a backup
Once the backup is created through the Moodle Dashboard, like what was outlined in the Creating a backup of Moodle tutorial, the backup can be restored through the Moodle Dashboard. The following article will demonstrate how to import or restore the backup created by the Moodle dashboard.
Restore backup through Moodle
- Log into Moodle
- Click the Restore link found in the Settings of the right navigation bar.
- This page will allow a backup file to be restored either by dragging the backup file to the Import a backup file window or by clicking Restore in the Course backup area. The backup that will be restored in this tutorial will be one from the Course Backup Area. In this section, the previous backup that was made will be listed under the filename column. If multiple backups were ran, there will be more than one listed in this section. In this case there was only one backup. These backups can also be downloaded by clicking the Download link. For now, click Restore next the the backup listed. If there is no file listed, then no backup was ran.
- Next the Confirm page will load. Here there will be listed the Backup details, Backup settings, and Course Details. This will display what is in the backup. Preview what is in the backup to ensure the correct backup is being restored. Once the backup is confirmed to be the correct one, click Confirm.
- Next the Destination page will load. This page will display the Restore as a new course, Restore into this course, and Restore into an existing course options. This section gives the Moodle Administrator the option to Delete the current Moodle data, merge the backup to the existing Moodle Data, or to restore the data as a new course. In this case, the backup will be merged to the existing data. Select the course to restore and click Continue.
- Now the Settings page should Display. The Restore Settings gives the options to include or to not include User settings, logs and histories. Select the data to include and click Next.
- This next screen is to select the Databases that were included in the backup. In this example, all the databases are selected. Click Next.
- Now the review page loads. This page is good because when restoring backups, it is important to make sure the correct information is being restored. If for whatever reason the setting displays information that is unwanted, Click the Previous button to go back and fix the settings. Double check the settings then click Perform Restore.
- The backup restore will go through the Process and end on the Complete page where "The course was restored, clicking the continue button below will take you to view the course you restored" is displayed. Congratulations, Moodle was restored successfully.
This concludes the section for restoring moodle from a backup created through the Moodle Dashboard. Please visit the next section on Editing the User profile in the My Profile Settings of Moodle.

Fans of SMU football will have the option to enjoy an alcoholic beverage this season when watching the Mustangs in action. SMU will begin selling beer this season after a successful trial run yielded positive results during the basketball season.
According to Dan Wolken of USA Today, SMU reported a six-figure profit through the sales of beer and wine. The process to get the sale of beer approved was comprehensive and SMU is hoping their process will be considered the most responsible way to go about it. In the end, making some more money is great, but adding to the game-day experience is ultimately the goal.
"There's a revenue component to it, for sure, but it was part of the experience fans wanted," SMU AD Rick Hart told USA Today. "And we had zero alcohol-related arrests. We didn't see a spike in any type of behavioral issues. I understand why it's a topic that needs to be vetted, and it's not for everybody."
At a time when schools are looking to turn or add to a profit and provide for a better sports environment for fans, whether or not to offer alcohol to fans at a cost. West Virginia and Minnesota have shown positive results that continue to set the bar for other schools, and the idea continues to be spreading.
LSU AD Joe Alleva has said beer sales will eventually happen at LSU. On the other hand, Ohio State AD Gene Smith has said that will not be an option for Buckeye fans at Ohio Stadium. The same will be the case for Wolverine fans at Michigan Stadium.

Welcome Seekers!
You've made it to the only blog that goes beyond self-help to self-servicing.
Last year people spent an estimated $1.5 billion on self-help books that claim to make you happy, make you desirable, make you love yourself, heal your life and give you emotional and spiritual prosperity. Yet 99.95333% of these consumers remain miserable suckers.
Such a pity.
The truth is no one has ever read a book by Dr. Phil and gone on to rule the world. Know why? Because the world is run by power-hungry sociopaths who don't waste their time actualizing their feelings or practicing hugging therapy.
The Happy Sociopath is a "how to" for getting everything you've ever dreamed of from this cold cruel world. More money, more power, more sex, more time, even more crafting projects, if that's what you're into. Anything you want you can have, it's really all up to you! The wise Eleanor Roosevelt said: "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." Believe in the beauty of your dreams my friends, believe.
You've been a helpful and considerate person for far too long and what have you got to show for it? Not much. Don't give me that crap about being a good person is it's own reward. It's not. Instead you've just been drowning in the quicksand of good intentions and pathetic loserness. But there is hope! Here you are now, primed and in place to finally get everything you ever wanted out of life.
Service yourself this time.
Start your transformation from a Miserable Sucker into a Happy Sociopath today!
Read on my friends.

Letter to the full House Supporting the GIVE Act
March 17, 2009
Dear Representative:
The National Education Association, representing 3.2 million educators across the nation, urges your support for the GIVE Act (H.R. 1388). Chairman Miller's manager's amendment, scheduled for floor debate this week, would call generations of Americans to serve and volunteer in areas of national need.
NEA supports the goal of this legislation to provide Americans with real opportunities to serve their communities. Particularly in these troubling economic times, community service can play a critical role in rebuilding and strengthening areas in need. In addition, participation in community service can provide real-world experience that will help educate and prepare today's youth and displaced workers for new job opportunities.
We are particularly pleased that the GIVE Act would:
- Strengthen existing service programs and create new innovative programs to help improve student achievement and graduation in low-income schools, including expansion of mentoring programs to help disadvantaged youth.
- Provide new incentives for middle and high school students to volunteer in their communities, and allow them to earn a $500 education award to be used for college costs.
- Increase the number of AmeriCorps volunteers and increase the education reward they receive to match the maximum Pell Grant scholarship award.
These provisions will help engage more youth in service, empower them with the tools they need to lead, and ensure that they can continue and complete the education necessary for success in the 21st Century.
Again, we urge your support for this important legislation.
Diane Shust
Director of Government Relations

News release prepared by: Katie Mayes, 785-532-6415, firstname.lastname@example.com
Thursday, March 25, 2010
MANHATTAN -- As head of research at Mississippi State University, Kirk Schulz knew very well how much of an asset a major research university would be in a bid to land the nation's most advanced animal health laboratory. The research expertise at Mississippi State was an integral piece of the overall package that earned the state a position as one of five finalists for the National Bio and Agro Defense Facility, or NBAF.
A location on the Kansas State University campus was ultimately chosen and now, as K-State's president, Schulz continues to carry the NBAF torch.
"Because of his intimate understanding of what NBAF would have meant for Mississippi, President Schulz has hit the ground running when it comes to keeping the Kansas project on the minds of decision-makers," said Ron Trewyn, K-State's vice president for research. "His background in research and economic development are helping K-State leverage this massive opportunity for the university, the Manhattan community and the state."
K-State's bid for NBAF started in early 2006 when the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced it wanted to close the outdated and deteriorating Plum Island Animal Disease Center and replace it with a new, highly advanced laboratory able to safely study diseases that could impact the nation's food supply. Another important part of NBAF's mission is the timely development of vaccines and other countermeasures to treat, control and eradicate disease threats to animals, agriculture and public health.
When it comes to matters of animal health, agriculture and food safety, K-State has a long and distinguished history of being proactive.
"K-State's research track record obviously set it apart from other research institutions in the U.S.; that's why we were chosen as the best place to build NBAF," Schulz said. "Although NBAF will be a federal facility, there will be many opportunities for scientific collaboration between NBAF researchers, companies attracted to the area and experts at K-State. NBAF is an asset to K-State and to the science behind animal health and food safety."
Lately, Schulz has been making sure people understand why NBAF is critical to the nation's health and safety, and how K-State will help the lab's research become a reality.
Earlier this year, Schulz took a delegation of K-Staters to Washington, D.C., to meet face-to-face with the state's congressional delegation: U.S. Sens. Pat Roberts and Sam Brownback, and Reps. Dennis Moore, Lynn Jenkins, Jerry Moran and Todd Tiahrt.
"Our legislative delegation has been backing K-State since day one on NBAF," said Sue Peterson, K-State's director of governmental relations and assistant to the president. "It's critical that we keep them updated on what the university is doing to prepare for the lab and how we continue to step up to protect the nation's agricultural resources and public health."
K-State also recently learned that $40 million for NBAF's site work was included in President Obama's budget.
The NBAF site will be prepared for construction during 2010, with construction scheduled to begin in 2011. As part of the preparation, K-State is working to have university facilities currently on the NBAF site relocated.
On the research side of things, K-State has partnered with the Midwest Research Institute to enable NBAF-related research to begin before the facility is finished. The research will take place at K-State's Biosecurity Research Institute, in Pat Roberts Hall, during the next five to seven years and will allow the government to begin working sooner on ways to keep the nation's disease threats at bay.
"Homeland Security is committed to building NBAF here in Manhattan and K-State is committed to partnering with them to ensure that it is safe and secure, and that the research conducted protects animal health and public health," Schulz said.
Schulz will continue to partner not only with decision-makers, but also with community advocates and the scientists who are on the front lines of animal and agricultural health every day.

Football Scores 49-3 Victory in Home Opener
LSU Sports Interactive
BATON ROUGE -- Second-ranked LSU ran for five touchdowns, passed for two more and held Football Championship Subdivision opponent Northwestern State to minus-4 yards rushing en route to a 49-3 victory on Saturday night in Tiger Stadium.
LSU (2-0), which ran for 175 yards and threw for 225, built a 28-3 lead at halftime with a 30-second drive in the final minute and never looked back.
The Tigers next face Mississippi State (1-1) on Thursday at 7 p.m. CT in Starkville, Miss., on ESPN. Northwestern State fell to 1-1 and 0-11 all-time against LSU.
Starting quarterback Jarrett Lee played the first half and was nearly perfect, completing 9-of-10 passes for 133 yards and a touchdown. Sophomore transfer Zach Mettenberger saw his first action at LSU, as he played the entire second half and was almost as impressive statistically. Mettenberger was 8-of-11 passing for 92 yards with a touchdown.
Wide receiver Rueben Randle had his second-career 100-yard game, as the junior caught five passes for 121 yards including a 43-yarder from Lee on the Tigers' first play from scrimmage. Odell Beckham Jr. added five catches for 40 yards, while Kadron Boone caught his first touchdown at LSU.
However, it was LSU's ground game which did most of the damage around the goal line. Michael Ford rushed for 72 yards on 13 carries with two touchdowns, while Alfred Blue added 53 yards and a score. Spencer Ware was used only six times, including touchdown runs of 1 and 6 yards in a span of 77 seconds during the second quarter.
Northwestern State struggled against the speedy LSU defense. The Demons totaled only 95 net yards, with 25 of those coming on a successful fake punt.
For the first time since Oct. 30, 1982, LSU held an opponent to negative yards rushing. Northwestern State had 27 attempts for minus-4 yards. LSU registered nine tackles for losses including one sack.
Starting quarterback Brad Henderson finished 16-of-26 passing for 74 yards and an interception. His backup, Don Canyon, had 25 yards passing on the fake punt. Wide receiver Justin Aldredge had a game-high seven catches for 58 yards.
The Demons won the coin toss and elected to take the ball to start the game. With first-time starter DJ Howard taking kickoff and punt duties for the Tigers, Northwestern State started its first drive from its 24-yard line.
The Demons gained six yards on third-and-5 for a first down, but went no further and punted to LSU's Tyrann Mathieu.
On the Tigers' first play from scrimmage, Lee connected with Randle along the left sideline for 43 yards to the Demons 24. After four-straight runs by Ford netted 20 yards, Lee found Peterson in the right corner of the endzone for a 6-yard touchdown. After Drew Alleman's successful PAT, LSU led 7-0 with 8:03 left in the opening quarter.
A 17-yard run and catch by Northwestern State wide receiver T.C. Henry put the Demons in LSU territory for the first time at the 38. The Tigers defense again stiffened, pushing the Demons two yards back before forcing another punt.
An 11-yard sack on Lee led to a quick three-and-out for LSU, and had Howard punting from the back of his endzone. The senior barely eluded the rush to get off a 36-yard punt that was downed at the LSU 40.
Henderson connected with Trevor Eickman for nine yards to the LSU 31, allowing Northwestern State to earn a first down on the next play. After three plays went nowhere, Northwestern State scored its first points in its 11-game history at Tiger Stadium. Jo Shaughnessy banked a 44-yard field goal off the left upright and through the goal posts, cutting the lead to 7-3 with 14:00 left in the half.
After a short kickoff designed to prevent a return, LSU quickly answered the score. Ford rolled off runs of 12 and 26 yards to the Demons 25 to open the drive. A 15-yard catch and run by Randle went to the 11 when his fumbled rolled harmlessly out of bounds near the goal line. On second-and-goal from the 1, Ware scored his third career rushing touchdown.
With 9:50 remaining in the half, LSU led 14-3.
Just as it did in the opening win against No. 3 Oregon, LSU's defense put the Tigers in position for a quick score. On third-and-11 at the NSU 19, LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne pressured Henderson, who tried to toss the ball to safety. However, LSU defensive tackle Michael Brockers laid out for the interception at the 15.
Two plays later, Ware walked into the endzone for his second TD in 77 seconds. LSU led 21-3 with 8:33 left in the half.
Another three-and-out drive by the Demons ended with a 37-yard punt by NSU's Nick Russo. With two players deep to receive, freshman Jarvis Landry caught the punt at the LSU 44 and returned 31 yards to the NSU 25. Mathieu was flagged for a dead-ball personal after the return, pushing the Tigers back to the 40. A 50-yard field goal attempt by Alleman was missed to the left.
The Demons went into their back of tricks after a sack by Mathieu and defensive end Sam Montgomery gave NSU fourth-and-9 at their 33. A pass from punt formation resulted in the longest play of the game for the Demons, a 25-yard catch by Aldredge from Canyon to the LSU 42. Once again, LSU's defense forced a turnover on downs with 50 seconds remaining in the half.
Starting from his 48, Lee led a furious drive to another touchdown before the half. An 11-yard pass to Beckham Jr. started the drive, followed by 10 yards to Ware and 27 yards to Randle to the 3-yard line. Ford finished its off with his sixth rushing touchdown, this from 3 yards.
With 20 seconds remaining in the half, LSU led 28-3.
Mettenberger saw his first action as a Tiger to start the second half, and the 6-foot-5 quarterback took little time to find his groove. He went 4-for-4 for 44 yards on the drive, including a 24-yard catch by Randle. Mettenberger setup a 7-yard touchdown run by Ford with an 11-yard pass to Beckham Jr., and LSU extended its lead to 35-3 with 12:39 left in the third quarter.
Later in the third quarter, LSU took over at its 43 and drove 57 yards in 10 plays for another rushing touchdown. Alfred Blue finished off the five with a 4-yard score to push the Tigers advantage to 42-3 with 2:36 left in the quarter.
The Tigers tacked on another score after a 15-play, 68-yard drive which took 8:20 off the clock. Mettenberger connected with Kadron Boone for a 19-yard touchdown, the first in each of the Tigers' short careers.
Attendance for the home opener was 92,405.
LSU vs. Northwestern State
Sept. 10, 2011
Opening Statement ...
"I liked the way our team played this game. I felt that we came out and played with intensity in all three phases. I thought the defense played like they're supposed to. No matter who came into the game, they played the same way. Offensively, I felt that we were more efficient than in the past at times. We threw the ball efficiently and caught it well. We had control of the situations and were able to run the clock out. We were able to do what we needed to do. I like how it went. I have to give credit to Bradley Dale Peveto because they are well coached. I think they are going to be a very good football team. They have a good defense. I felt their special teams did a good job. I knew that their special teams was going to run a fake on us. I told our team to keep an eye on it. I know this guy, and shoot I coached with him. Well Brendan Farrell did it to us. You talk about small victory; those guys had a small victory just so you know. I like their team. I like where we're at right now. It appeared to me that we did not come out with significant injury at all. In a short week, that is key. I told them at the end of this game that our challenge is really threefold. One, we play a talented conference opponent in a short time. The second challenge is the amount of time. We have to get a lot accomplished to be ready to play on Thursday. Three, we need to improve. That is where we're headed to do. Really that is our turn as we move to the next opponent. We did not play Brad Wing because he was a little nicked, and rather than have him play we decided to rest him. Ryan Baker sustained a penalty of play, and we withheld him from play today based on the rules violation. That is done."
On the offense ...
"I think Zach Mettenberger did good. He looked comfortable. He came in and made some nice throws. I felt like he handled the offense well. Jarrett Lee was eight-for-10 and Mettenberger was nine-for-11. We threw for about 200 and rushed for about 200. It was the right thing. If we were in any game that we needed to win, Lee could have played in the second half. It was always the plan for us, should we get the opportunity to give Mettenberger significant snaps to play him, and that is what we did."
On keeping the first offensive line in the second half ...
"It was meant to protect Mettenberger and so that he could be consistent. We wanted him to be as we expected to be."
On the offense ...
"Coach Miles stressed throughout the week that we have to play well on man-to-man coverage. I think we did a great job getting open and catching the ball."
On the short week leading to Mississippi State ...
"It's important that we go out and get this win. Knowing there is a short week, we still have to prepare like it's any other week. Just go out and play great football."
RB Michael Ford
On the switch between quarterbacks ...
"It was definitely comfortable. We practiced that. We practice like it's a game so when we go out there and play it's just like a game to us at practice."
On Zach Mettenberger at quarterback ...
"Zach did a great job. His stepping in wasn't a big deal. If either Jarrett Lee or Zach Mettenberger gets in there, it's the same for us."
On the game ...
"It was a great experience, being my first collegiate playing time. I threw a touchdown pass. I'm glad Coach called that pass for that situation. It went up big. You don't really expect to throw a touchdown pass, but it was a great experience and I'm looking forward to a lot more here."
On connection with receivers ...
"Me and Odell (Beckham, Jr.), Kadron (Boone), James (Wright), Jarvis (Landry) and basically all the young receivers, we have a thing because we run with the two offense. I think we just have a connection and we trust each other. If I threw the ball out there, I think that anyone of those guys could go get it."
On his interception ...
"I saw how soft the quarterback threw the ball, and I was able to get out of my block and reach out and grab it. I didn't want it to fall out of my hands so I just curled up. I didn't want to let it hit the ground."
On the team's mindset coming into the game ...
"We just wanted to dominate. We didn't want to take a day off. We played well last week and we wanted to come out and play even better and that was our mindset."
On the Mississippi State Game ...
"We have to turn it up one more notch. We have to keep turning it up each week. We have to just keep getting better on the field."
On Zach Mettenberger's performance ...
"I think he played really well. He came in when we needed him and he didn't let us down. When he came in for Jarrett Lee, Zach didn't miss a beat and that's how it is supposed to be."
On what they need to do to prepare for Mississippi State ...
"We need to get the game plan ready so guys can prepare and know what to do. There are certain things that Mississippi State does and we have to make sure we are ready for them."
On playing without Ryan Baker ...
"We worked together as team. Ryan couldn't make the calls on defense tonight, so we had to come together as a team and make sure everybody got the call."
Opening statement ...
"That is definitely the number one team in the country. They are a great football team. Class act. They have a great coach. Not a better place to play in the country than Tiger Stadium. I thought our team played hard. That is a heck of a football team. I'm proud of our guys for fighting to the end. They played extremely hard. Again, I would like to give a lot of credit to Louisiana State University because that is a great football team. There is no doubt about it. They showed it tonight."
On being a competitive football team ...
"There are a lot of times that you would watch us play and we feel like we belonged out there. And then there were other times that we did not. When you play a team with the quality of players of LSU you have to play flawless football in all three phases. They have a lot of weapons. They are very physical. They are a very fast football team. If there is a faster more physical football team in the country I would like to see it. I thought we had a great plan, a great week of work. Coming in here tonight I thought our guys were sky high, and I though we played as hard as we could play. Again, I will give a lot of credit to Les Miles, his staff, and their players. They were class acts, and they played extremely hard. They are a good football team."
On LSU's team ...
"They were pretty impressive on television and they are even more impressive in person. The speed is what you cannot really tell on video and on television. That is a fast, fast football team. They get edges that you do not think they are going to get. They are very talented, very fast, very physical. They are as physical a football team as I have watched in a long time. I was in this league for four years and I do not remember seeing a team that physical. They were physical; they are physical, and they play physical at all three phases. They are very good, very well coached and my hat goes off to them."
On what he takes from this game ...
"Every player on our football team can say they had a Saturday night in Tiger Stadium with their pads on. That is a real honor. I'll say the fact that I coached here, there is not a better football team in the world. It does not get any better than this. Our team got to come in here and experience Tiger Stadium, experience the crowd, the adrenaline, and big time Southeastern Conference football. That is quite an honor. I told our team no one gave us this. They earned this. We just did not wake up and show up in Tiger Stadium. They have earned this from what they have done their whole life preparing to be a football player, then going to college making their grades and working hard. This was an earned opportunity. It was not given to them. That is how we approached it. We wanted to come in here and call the game aggressive, play aggressive, and lay it all on the line."
QB Brad Henderson
On playing LSU ...
"I had fun; I think we all had fun. We came in with a positive attitude. We came in to win. I give credit to the LSU defense tonight. I think we should've made a lot more plays on our end to keep them off the field."
On playing LSU ...
"You play a great team like that, and most guys don't make it out of there healthy. I just think we played pretty good, we played solid, and we kept the turnovers to a minimum. LSU just has a great defense."
TE Justin Aldredge
On playing LSU ...
"You can't take anything away from those guys; they're good, and you find that out when you're on the other side of the ball."
Attitudes of LSU players with their win over NSU ...
"They're just really classy guys; they handled it well. It can get pretty ugly when they beat you like that, but they were really classy about it. They are a good group of guys."
K/P John Shaughnessy
On his field goal ...
"To come back here and play where I've dreamed of playing my whole life and actually score is incredible. It's special also because I broke a bad tradition of not scoring in the stadium."
On playing LSU ...
"We played our hearts out. Everybody came to this game expecting and wanting to win. There's nothing in thinking we didn't have the opportunity to win. Our coaches called aggressive; we played aggressive."
LB Yaser Elqutub
Opening statement ...
"First I would like to give credit; we all give credit to LSU. They are a great team, and they are who we expected them to be. We didn't come in here expecting to lose; we came in with a good game plan. The thing that we're going to see when we look back on film is that a lot of the times, if not all of the times, we hurt ourselves whenever something went wrong. That's something we're going to correct and take in for the rest of the season. The thing is if you're going to shoot yourself in the foot with a team like that they're going to capitalize, and they did 49 points later. Do I feel like we're a better team? Of course. Did we play hard? Yes, but it's a good learning experience for everybody, even for the young guys. They got some playing time. We're going to go from there and just take it as a learning experience and just build on it."
On LSU's Offense ...
"You couldn't tell the difference between their starters and their backups. In our conference you can tell. There is a great player, but every one of them were great and it wasn't overwhelming. We hung with them, and we know we did. They're just a solid team, big guys, very physical, very fast. So you had to be playing your perfect game, and if not you were going to get hurt."
MLB Derek Rose
On playing against LSU ...
"We all looked forward to it, playing against LSU. This is something everyone dreamed about, playing against the number two team in the nation. A well-coached team who has won national championships, this is what everyone dreamed of."

Lady Gaga Arrives Fashionably Late to 'The Great Gatsby' Screening in NYC [Video]
Lady Gaga arrived fashionably late to the NYC screening of 'The Great Gatsby' Tuesday night (May 7).
According to local news reports, those assembled in the theater were waiting a half hour, for people to fill two unoccupied seats. People were thinking they were reserved for director Baz Luhrmann. The lights dimmed and that's when Lady Gaga, walking hand-in-hand with boyfriend Taylor Kinney, sporting a long shock of bleached blond hair, made her entrance. She did not use her wheelchair, either, and was said to look slim and in fighting shape.
Gaga supposedly exited in similar discrete fashion, sneaking out as the credits rolled.
At least we got a glimpse of Mommy Monster, after a quiet couple of months since hip surgery. And now we know she's able to walk. All good things!

HANOVER, In. York College's Tim Hartung (Mohnton, Pa. / Governor Mifflin) has done it yet again. The dominating senior became the men's cross country program's first two time All-American.
Hartung, racing against the best runners in Division III, went out with the lead pack determined to nab another top 35 finish. The lead pack went out in just 6:05 through the first 2 kilometers. As Tim pushed along he fell in line with the second lead pack and crossed through the 6 kilometer mark in just 18:48. Hartung then turned on the after-burners to soar through the last 1,000 meters in just 3:13 leaving everything he had on the course. As Tim surged across the finish line with almost nothing left he edged out the 25th place finisher, Andrew Padgett from Washington University, by just .2 seconds. Tim finished his York College cross country career with an 8 kilometer time of 25:12.3, for a 24th place finish, and his second All-American title.
Tim nabbed his second All-American award with his 24th place finish. With the level of competition at the national level, for an athlete to place in the top 25 two years in a row, it truly highlights Tim's hardwork, determination, and confidence.
Tim has had a spectacular career for York that has included 3 CAC men's team championships, to go along with his 3 CAC individual titles. Tim will immediately enter York College lore as one of the most dominating athletes in school history. To find full results of Tim's race click this link.

World Bank President Jim Yong Kim's recent Washington Post op-ed "Make Climate Change a Priority" warned that "global warming imperils all of the development gains we have made". Jim Kim drew on a recent World Bank report that points to the possibility for global temperatures to rise by 4 degrees Celsius or more by the end of the century, with severe natural, economic and social impacts.
Jim Kim's call is all the more urgent given how grim are actual trends on efforts to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Growth in world carbon emissions from energy use in the 2000s more than tripled compared to the 1990s, averaging 3 percent a year. After repeated failures in negotiations, the goal of a global agreement on mitigation feels to be even further away today than 20 years ago. With current battles over fiscal policy, U.S. government spending on energy R&D is expected to fall rather than rise in coming years. Many experts have concluded that the aim of keeping global temperature increases down to 2 degrees Celsius or less (roughly equal to an atmospheric concentration of equivalent carbon dioxide of 450 ppm or less) is now simply no longer feasible. A study by the Stanford Energy Modeling Forum found that in most cases its models simply could not solve for a 450 ppm scenario.
So, not only is a 4 degree rise possible, the burning question is just how far we will actually exceed 2 degrees and get close to or exceed 4 degrees.
I draw three conclusions from this scenario. First, as Jim Kim stressed in his op-ed, there is an urgent need for action on mitigation outside the global negotiating framework, especially among the six biggest emitters. Second, let's not fall under the famous definition of insanity attributed to Einstein, of doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. In other words there is also a need for fresh "blue sky thinking" about why global negotiations are failing and how we might be able to structure approaches that are more "incentive compatible", to use the economics jargon, including how to foster massive R&D into new energy technologies that are both clean and cheap. And lastly, given that substantial temperature increases are already "baked in the pie", we must figure out ways to protect human welfare and development gains, by helping poor people and countries adapt to climate change.
Fortunately, adaptation should be easier to do, because it is usually not subject to the "environmental externality problems" that hamper mitigation – because it is mostly in people's self-interest to adapt to climate change, regardless of what others are doing. Farmers, for example, will shift to different crops and growing methods that are better suited to new climate conditions. People will continue to shift out of agriculture – the most vulnerable sector – into industry and services, and from the countryside to cities, which – as Matt Kahn argues in his book Climatopolis – are better able to adapt to extreme shocks of all kinds. International trade itself is an adaptation mechanism, as agriculture possibly shifts to more northern climes, and as developing countries in the tropics gain comparative advantage in manufacturing and services. Perhaps most important, we can also expect ingenious human beings to innovate and find new and better ways to adapt.
So, can we just sit back and complacently twiddle our thumbs? Of course not! The more extreme and catastrophic climate change gets the more there is a possibility that it could overwhelm human capacity to adapt. So mitigation remains an urgent priority. But even outside that extreme scenario, there is an important policy agenda to deal with all sorts of market and policy failures that can hamper people's – especially the poor's – ability to adapt, a policy agenda which is usually good for development anyway. Poor farmers, for example, often lack access to the credit that would help them change their crop mix and growing methods. Poor economic policies can subsidize overly capital (and energy!) intensive technologies in industry, reducing unskilled job opportunities in the cities. Trade restrictions can hamper people's ability to access new adaptive technologies from abroad, as well hampering people's ability to adapt to climate change through trade. Investments in adaptation public goods – for example high quality meteorological forecasting and early warning systems – will become increasingly valuable.
Adapt and mitigate, mitigate and adapt – we must walk on both legs to deal with the challenge of climate change.

Preheat the broiler.
Add butter to a saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute the onions and garlic until they turn slightly brown. Add the flour and whisk together for 3 minutes to make a blonde roux. Whisk in the milk and bring to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent the roux from burning. Cook for approximately 10 minutes or until the roux has dissolved completely and you can no longer taste the flour. Add the pasta and stir until hot. Add the fresh herbs, the truffle oil, and half of the Parmesan and stir until dissolved. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Put all ingredients into an ovenproof dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese and bread crumbs on top evenly. Place under a broiler until top becomes golden brown.

Mother. The original. The Famicom RPG that Americans never saw (and became known as "Earthbound Zero" in some circles, as it was a prequel to Earthbound). This soundtrack is, primarily, a vocal arrange album, arranged and performed by British people. Yeah...that's strange. But it's only fitting for the Mother series to do something this offbeat.
Every song has its own style, and represents a different genre. Some sound like the Beatles (seriously!), others sound like a children's show theme song. The production value is incredible, especially for 1989 (back when game music was still generally lacking the international respect it has since begun to obtain).
Though the vocal songs are catchy, the instrumental tracks are actually my favorites. "Fallin' Love, And" is a great jam track. And "Magicant" is quirky and wonderful. I love both of those songs. Among the vocals, my favorite track is probably the all boys' choir piece, "Eight Melodies." All of the lyrics on this album (all English, no Japanese) are cheesy and trite. But some of them try to make a statement, and others are just thoughtful. The lyrics to "Eight Melodies" are simple statements about love that most people would agree to. Good stuff.
Whether vocal or instrumental, many of these arrangements have moments of musical "breakdown." And I don't mean that in the sense of a dance beat wherein you "break it down." I mean...the rhythm and melody fall apart, and an array of improvised mashing of keys and strings takes place. Again, quite fitting for the Mother series.
The only thing "OST" on this album is the final track: it features 16 minutes of NES chiptune goodness in the form of a lengthy medley. You'll hear all the songs represented on this arranged album in the OST track, as well as some others.
But here's the thing about this album: you don't want it. Trust me. What you want is the 2004 reprint that has all of these tracks remastered, extends the OST track from 16 minutes to 24, and tacks on a bonus arranged track from Mother 2 (aka "Earthbound" for SNES). That album will be easier to find and cost you less. Sadly, this particular print is a relic, and an obsolete one given the information I just highlighted. So if you're interested, get that version!

So I rarely find myself needing a ton of "big-water" casting skills. But one skill I learned while chasing steelhead is the one RIO's Simon Gawesworth describes below—spey casting with a single-handed rod. S2 E5 How To Make a Single Handed Spey Cast Video of S2 E5 How To Make a Single Handed Spey Cast As you'll see in the short video above, spey casting with a single-handed rod is perfectly doable (but I do like to overline my rod by a size or two if I know I'm going to be using the technique). It allows for more distance and flexibility than a simple roll cast, and it's really not that tough to master. Gawesworth best describes the differences between the roll cast and the spey cast as the size of the "D" loop an angler carries into the cast. Roll casts depend on water friction to load the rod, while spey casts depend more on line weight to load the rod, and need a bigger "D" loop (hence my preference for overlining my rod a bit). It's a great instructional video that will get you thinking when you're on bigger water for trout or even smallmouth bass (I actually found myself using the technique while bonefishing last month!). With a spey cast, you can switch directions easier, throw more line and adapt quicker. I'm a fan, and after you get the hang of it, I bet you are, too. — Chris Hunt

|ChromaDex® Announces Financial Results for the Second Quarter 2012
IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --ChromaDex® Corporation (OTCBB: CDXC) an innovative natural products company that provides proprietary, science-based solutions and ingredients to the dietary supplement, food & beverage, animal health, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries, announced today financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110830/LA59283LOGO)
For the three months ended June 30, 2012, ChromaDex reported record revenue of $2,670,611, an increase of 37% as compared to $1,937,976 for the same period in 2011. The net loss attributable to common stockholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 was $3,993,957, or ($0.04) per share as compared to a net loss of $1,842,569, or ($0.03) per share for the same period in 2011. The net loss in the second quarter of 2012 was largely impacted by advertising and marketing expenses relating to the Company's BluScience(TM) line of dietary supplements. The non-cash, share-based compensation expense related to stock options and other share-based compensation for the second quarter of 2012 was $1,198,537. The effect of excluding non-cash, share-based compensation expense, which is a "non-GAAP measure," decreases the net loss for the second quarter of 2012 to $2,795,420. As of June 30, 2012, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled over $2.2 million and inventories totaled over $5.2 million.
The Company also reported its core ingredient and laboratory business posted record sales in the month of June. The increase in portfolio ingredient sales includes additional new customers who have adopted pTeroPure® and ProC3G(TM) into their formulations, as well as increased efforts in sales, marketing and trade relations. BluScience, which was launched earlier this year, continues to expand and is now available in more than 17,000 outlets in the U.S, including national drugstore chains, wholesalers, mass channel and internet distributors. The novel ingredient in BluScience is ChromaDex's proprietary, patented pterostilbene, branded as pTeroPure, which was named the 2010 North American Most Promising Ingredient of the Year by the independent research company Frost & Sullivan.
Frank Jaksch, Jr., CEO and co-founder of ChromaDex, commented, "The first half of 2012 was extremely positive and productive for ChromaDex. The record monthly sales in June in our ingredient and laboratory business, as well as the current pipeline of our proprietary novel ingredients, gives us reason to be very enthusiastic about our business strategy of identifying early novel compounds, securing intellectual property, investing in clinical data, developing commercially viable production processes and executing a commercial business plan. In parallel, the successful launch of the BluScience line has achieved our goal of increasing the awareness of pTeroPure as a novel ingredient. We are currently looking at potential strategic partners for further development of the BluScience brand. Given these strategic initiatives, the Company should have sufficient capital to meet its operational needs through the foreseeable future."

Caesar Rodney's Alex Kemp led the way for the Riders on Friday night, scoring a team-high 15 points helping CR to the tournament championship victory after a first round win over Tatnall.
The Cavaliers, who defeated Delaware Military Academy by nine in the opening round, fought hard with the still undefeated Riders but fell just short.
Senior Amyre Jones led all Cavaliers scorers, also tying Kemp, for a game-high 15 points in the loss.
Both teams came out Friday night willing to run as the pace was quick off the tip-off. The two teams traded some early misses but eventually came around to score a combined 15 first-quarter points with the Cavaliers out in front 8-7 after one.
In the second, the offense would pick up on both sides of the floor. Along with Kemp leading from the back-court, the Riders received contributions from junior James Palmer and senior Colin Moore who scored 10 and nine points respectively Friday night. Backed by some well-rounded scoring the Riders were able to go into the half tied with Middletown at 19-19.
The game remained close to open the second half, with both teams seemingly trading scores each time down the floor. After three quarters, the Riders had gained a slim lead at 33-32, thanks to some timely scoring from their supportive cast and several three-pointers from Kemp.
In the fourth, senior Matt Pinkett who finished with seven points on the night, and junior Andre Cunningham who finished with eight, did their best to help out Jones by keeping pace with the Riders in the final stanza. However, the CR offense was too much to handle and the Cavaliers gave up a game-high 16 points in the quarter to help the Riders pull away with the victory.
The Cavaliers, now 2-2 on the season, will return to the hardwood Tuesday, January 7 when they travel to A.I. duPont for the first of four straight road games.
Meanwhile, the Riders return to the court Friday night taking on Sussex Central in a rescheduled game.

Story highlights
- At night, Cady Stanton would eat ice cream in secret to cope with her anxiety
- Growing up, her family didn't eat healthy meals
- Stanton stopped weighing herself at 265 pounds; she now weighs 142 pounds
Cady Stanton used to find solace in the sweet taste of ice cream.
Growing up, she would sneak downstairs after her family had gone to sleep and numb her anxiety by digging into a half-gallon container. She would eat until she was sick, knowing this was something she had to do in secret.
As the oldest child of a struggling Jehovah's Witness family, Stanton shouldered a lot of responsibilities at a young age. Her mother suffered from a number of health issues, and her father worked three jobs just to put food on the table.
The family's financial struggles had a huge impact on Stanton's diet. Nearly all Stanton's family was overweight, as they had neither the resources nor the knowledge to prepare healthy meals regularly.
They ate a lot of ground beef, spaghetti and the occasional treat of a take-and-bake pizza. They would wait in line for government-issued cheese and foodstuffs like powdered eggs and milk.
"Healthy eating requires money and time, something financially stressed families have little of," she said. "We ate what was quick and cheap and familiar."
Stanton knew she was overweight in the first grade when she looked down and saw her feet swelling out of her Mary Janes. But it wasn't until her freshman year of high school that she made the connection between what she was eating and her body size.
One day she found herself staring into the vending machine of the gym locker room. She was 5-feet-5-inches and 200 pounds.
"At that moment it finally struck me that what I ate made me overweight," she said. "You'd think I would know that. I was an honors student."
Stanton changed her diet and started exercising regularly. In two years she went from 200 to 150 pounds. But there was one change she was still unable to make: sneaking food at night to comfort herself.
Consuming large quantities of ice cream had a calming effect. She had no other way to cope with her anxiety, so she was unable to keep the weight off.
She married in 1996 and moved to Washington. She stopped running and her weight climbed. She grew depressed when she realized the church she had joined wasn't as welcoming as the one in her hometown of Portland, which was her only social outlet as a child.
She stopped weighing herself when she hit 265 pounds.
In 2005, she divorced her husband and moved to Seattle to start rebuilding her life. She gave her car to a relative and started walking and biking everywhere, losing 50 pounds almost without effort.
That same year, she met Ryan Laundry. She was pursuing her degree in psychology at the University of Washington at the time and weighed 215 pounds. While Laundry was interested in pursuing a romantic relationship, Stanton wouldn't allow herself to think that he could be in love with her.
"That's part of being overweight," she said. "The last thing you want to do is humiliate yourself by assuming someone likes you romantically."
She moved to Pennsylvania to get a doctorate degree in Human Development and Family Studies, but she and Laundry reconnected when she returned to Seattle. They bonded over raising teenage boys: Stanton had adopted her son, David, in 2010, and Laundry was taking care of his teenage brother. It was as though they had never been apart.
This time Stanton was open to letting herself be loved by Laundry.
"You can't live on someone else's love; you have to be OK on your own," she said. "But I needed that to start taking care of myself, to start filling up those holes on my own."
Laundry told Stanton about how he had lost a lot of weight on a low-sugar diet and encouraged her to try it for herself.
"I balked. Bread had sugar. Pasta had sugar. Fruit had sugar. And, more importantly, my ice cream had sugar."
But at 215 pounds, she figured it was about time she let go of her reliance on food to ease her anxiety. She eliminated pastries, fast food, ice cream and even fruit with high amounts of sugar from her diet. Instead, she started eating salmon, tofu and grapefruit, learning the difference between emotional hunger and physical hunger.
"About four to five days in, my sugar cravings dropped. After two weeks, I didn't even care if there were cookies at work."
In a little more than a year, by the time she and Laundry were married in June 2012, Stanton had gone from 215 pounds to 157 pounds. Today she weighs 142 pounds.
Stanton maintains this weight by enjoying limited amounts of foods she now considers "treats." For breakfast, she has a protein shake made with cranberry juice and probiotics. She also stays active by walking two miles as part of her regular commute, and running or going to the gym on weekends.
Instead of sneaking ice cream at night, she now sets aside time for meditation in order to cope with stress. She doesn't keep any of her old escapes in the house, not even low-sugar ice cream.
"When I was overweight, I think people judged me somehow as less competent and efficient," she said. "Life is easier. The guilt and shame I felt sneaking ice cream at night is gone."

Missing a Nap Makes for an Anxious Toddler
Missing just one nap can cause toddlers to become more anxious and frustrated when faced with a challenge, according to new research by a University of Colorado scientist.
In fact, the effects of skipping 90 minutes of sleep for children between the ages of 21/2 and 3 are similar to what adults experience when they pull an all-nighter, according to Monique LeBourgeois, who led the study being published in the Journal of Sleep Research.
LeBourgeois and her colleagues gave toddlers kid-friendly puzzles to solve -- both when they were well rested and when they'd missed their naps. One of the puzzles had all the correct pieces, and one was insolvable with a piece that wouldn't fit.
Researchers videotaped the children's expressions -- looking for changes in facial features such as eyes, brows and lips -- to determine how the children felt while putting together the puzzles.
They found that sleep-deprived toddlers were less likely to act confused -- an adaptive emotion that signals an understanding that something does not add up -- and more likely, instead, to act "flat" or frustrated.
"If you have a problem, let's say you can't find your way and you're lost, the response is confusion, and that's a good thing," LeBourgeois said. "When (toddlers) don't get enough sleep -- in this case from a nap -- they don't show that response. What they show instead is a flat response or a neutral response -- they're just blank -- or they show more anxiety."
For LeBourgeois' study, toddlers who normally napped were not allowed to, but she said a lack of sleep at any time could cause similar issues. The larger concern is the overall amount of time the child sleeps, not when the child sleeps.
"The real focus here is to understand how, when kids don't get enough sleep, do they respond emotionally to their world," she said. "And there are a number of ways kids don't get enough sleep."
Sleep deprivation can be caused by disorders, such as sleep apnea, as well as the difficult schedules of working parents or the relative noisiness of daycares.
Leigha Knopf, who works in the toddler room at the Homestar Child Development Center in south Boulder, said she's not surprised that a lack of sleep causes problems for tots.
"If our kids don't nap their normal amount of time, or if they don't nap at all, their frustration is increased, no matter what," she said. "It can be a task they've done a million times that they'll get frustrated with. They can complete the task but still become frustrated because it didn't happen the first time."
To prepare kids to sleep better at daycare, Knopf recommends that parents let their toddlers sleep at home with the door slightly open to desensitize them to a bit of noise and light.

If you had a choice between saving an extra $50 a week or gaining an extra hour daily, what would you do? I vote for the extra hour, (seven hours a week). But more money beat out diet, time and sex, according to this recent survey from allyou.com/Shortcuts.com. Here is a snippet from the full survey results:
- Over half (57%) of those surveyed would rather save $50 an extra week
- vs. 31 % who would rather lose one clothing size
- or 6% who would opt for more sex
- or 6 % who would rather have an extra 60 minutes each day.
The Real Bonus
My choice: Please give me another hour every day! With an extra seven hours a week, I would use 33 % of the extra time to earn more money, 33% of the bonus time would be spent relaxing, and I would spend the remaining time with my children.
Here's another nugget from the poll:
"More women (45%) feel better when they're cutting grocery costs vs. sticking to an exercise regimen (24%)."
Once again, I disagree with that allocation of time. A commitment to an exercise program can yield both long-term savings and better health. Preventive medicine and exercise represent savvy investments of time and money. Consider the cost of obesity.
The Power of Coupon Clipping
"Consumers are changing their spending habits, but not drastically. The survey, conducted by DMS Research with 5,877 respondents (5,250 females and 627 males), uncovered that small changes such as clipping more coupons, are taking precedence over large lifestyle adjustments like driving less or cancelling gym memberships.
Across all categories of spending, more women tend to be tightening their belts than men, cutting back on vacation, spending, and dining out.
The survey revealed:
Almost three-quarters of respondents (71%) are now clipping coupons;
Four in ten respondents (41%) consider treating themselves to something under $49 to be a splurge;
Even in a tough economy, just over one-quarter (28%) of respondents won't give up purchasing quality items and 17% won't give up buying their favorite beauty product
'We know how important saving money and saving time are these days, so we aren't surprised with the findings that something as simple as using coupons – and increasingly, electronic coupons – is on the rise,' said Tara Trocki, director, AOL's Shortcuts.com. 'This is a testament that using a free, simple service can lead to significant financial savings without having to make a major lifestyle adjustment.' "

Two of us are married, the other in a serious relationship...nothing crazy about us, not interested in hook-ups just lots of tennis fun.
We're professionals, honest, good people.
We are about 3.0-4.0 level.
