For a certain breed of New York tourist, picking up a knockoff Chanel bag in Chinatown is a trip highlight.
But that could soon change.
The city councilwoman whose district includes Chinatown recently proposed making the purchase of counterfeit goods a crime, punishable by a $1,000 fine and a jail term of up to a year.
The legislator, Margaret Chin, says the law is necessary to deter counterfeiters, and that buyers of counterfeit goods cost the city around $1 billion in tax revenue annually.
Unsurprisingly, the backlash from Canal Street shoppers has been huge.
We decided to venture down to Chinatown for ourselves to survey the counterfeit scene.
Bottom line: it was sketchy, the knockoffs kind of sucked, and we came away empty handed. But at least we learned the right way to score an "A quality" Chanel bag for 1/50 the sticker price of the real thing.

Standard ECMA-289
Private Integrated Services Network (PISN)
- Mapping Functions for the Employment of 64 kbit/s Circuit Mode
Connections with 8 kbit/s Sub-Multiplexing (Mapping/8)
2nd edition (September 2000)
This Standard defines the mapping functions in exchanges of Private Integrated Services Networks (PISNs) required for the utilization of scenarios in which 64 kbit/s circuit mode connections are sub-multiplexed into one 16 kbit/s channel for carrying inter-PINX signalling and 6 x 8 kbit/s channels for carrying inter-PINX user information.
This Standard has been prepared to meet the specific needs of an application for a particular user organisation. However, it may also be applicable elsewhere.
In order to connect a Private Integrated Services Network Exchange (PINX) to another PINX, mapping functions are required to adapt the specific interfaces at the C reference point to the application at the Q reference point. As such, mapping functions provide for physical adaptation to the interface at the C reference point. Mapping functions also provide for the mapping of user channels and signalling information at the Q reference point to the appropriate channels or timeslots at the C reference point.
The C and Q reference points are defined in ECMA-133.
The type of interface at the C reference point covered by this Standard is the 64 kbit/s Unrestricted Digital Leased Line (D64U) Terminal Equipment Interface, in accordance with ITU-T Rec. G.703.
At the Q reference point the mapping provides an 8 kbit/s service for user channels to support the transfer of unrestricted digital information and to support the transfer of speech, and a 16 kbit/s packet mode service for the signalling channel. The applied mapping is a static mapping, i.e. there is a fixed relationship between user and signalling channels at the Q reference point and the interface at the C reference point.
Management functions relating to failure management are outside the scope of this Standard.
This Standard is applicable to PINXs that can be interconnected to form a Private Integrated Services Network (PISN) and that support signalling protocols at the Q reference point.

This Ecma publication is also approved as ISO/IEC 17311.

Eye and Ear and the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center Announce Agreement to Sequence 100 Human Adenoviruses May 21, 2012 BGI, George Mason University, the Mass. Eye and Ear and the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center Announce Agreement to Sequence 100 Human Adenoviruses Contact: Mass. Eye and Ear Public Affairs Ph.: 617-573-4170 (Boston, MA, Manassas, VA, Oklahoma City, OK and Shenzhen, China) – May 2, 2012 – Representatives from BGI, the world's largest genomics organization, in conjunction with George Mason University (GMU), the Massachusetts Eye and Ear (Mass. Eye and Ear) and the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC), jointly announce that they have signed an agreement to sequence 100 human adenoviruses gathered from researchers globally, including ones that cause respiratory, gastrointestinal and ocular diseases. The goal of the sequencing project is to identify the molecular basis of adenovirus evolution, including base changes and genome recombinations, and to understand the genome basis for adenovirus pathogenicity and its role in the genesis of emergent pathogens. Human adenoviruses (HAdVs), first isolated in 1953, are DNA viruses that were initially identified as respiratory pathogens but are now known to cause a range of diseases, including ocular, gastrointestinal and metabolic disorders. Respiratory adenoviruses typically generate cold-like symptoms, aka "the uncommon cold", that can spread broadly and rapidly among a population, but normally pose low levels of fatalities. Since 1953, 67 new types of HAdVs have been isolated. Extensive genome sequence data from both newly isolated and archived HAdVs, and their accompanying bioinformatics, are leading to an in-depth understanding of the biology of HAdVs, including how novel viral pathogens appear. Genome recombination plays an important role in the molecular evolution of HAdVs, leading to newly emerging strains as well re-emerging pathogens that have changed or become more virulent. As an example, a recent outbreak of respiratory infections in China raised public concerns and unfounded rumors of a SARS outbreak, but genomic analysis definitively identified the outbreak as a respiratory tract infection caused by adenovirus type 55. An outbreak of Ad55 was identified earlier in China in 2006 and genomic analysis of this recent Ad55 virus revealed only 12 mutations from the 2006 strain, indicating they are from the same lineage. "While genome mutations and recombination of DNA viruses like HAdVs are less common than observed for RNA viruses, when they do occur, the resultant virus may be a new and different pathogen," stated Dr. Donald Seto, Professor in the School of Systems Biology at GMU. "With whole genome sequencing provided by BGI, we will be able to answer how these viruses change over time, including how fast, enabling researchers to identify emerging pathogens, develop effective treatments, including vaccines, and begin to understand how to predict pathogens." Included among the investigators are scientists working at the School of Systems Biology at GMU, the Department of Ophthalmology at Mass. Eye and Ear and the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at OUHSC. "We welcome this opportunity to work with this Consortium and its global collaborators on the sequencing of 100 human adenoviruses," stated Yingrui Li, Vice Director of BGI. "By applying BGI's state-of-the-art whole genome sequencing and analysis to these HAdVs, we believe we will make a significant contribution to identifying the evolution of adenovirus mutations and recombinations, and to an increased understanding of the genomic basis of their disease effects in humans." All intellectual property resulting from this project will be shared by BGI, Mass. Eye and Ear, OUHSC, GMU and their collaborators. Upon completion of the sequencing and analysis of the 100 HAdVs, the findings will be co-authored by all in a paper to be published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.

10 Ways to Customize the Kura Loft Bed
With a second child on the way we recently purchased IKEA's popular Kura bed for our 4-year-old. We chose it because with the bed in the lofted position (it can also be on the ground) it wasn't too high for him and it would give him some valuable play space below. The Kura has a lot going for it but the plain pine wood and reversible white/(very) blue panels could use some improvement.
So far we've painted our Kura, but I've been looking for more inspiration and also to see how other parents have utilized the space under the bed. I'll be sure to show you our bed when it's complete, but for now here's some Kura inspiration I've compiled:
The first row above showcases some ideas for decorating the bed using paint, fabric, paper, textured wall flats and an adhesive product called Panyl:
1. Kura Sides Covered with Panyl product on Flax & Twine
2. Kura Covered with Textured Wall Flats by Inhabit
3. Kura Painted White with Added Chalkboard Paint by Sample Sale Mom
4. Kura Sides Covered with Fabric by Southern Disposition
5. Kura Covered with Scrapbook Paper on IKEA Hackers
The second row features some more fantastical imaginings of what the Kura could be:
6. Kura Turned Princess Castle by A Creative Anna
9. Kura Turned Medieval Castle
10. Kura Turned Cottage Hideaway on IKEA Hackers

Rock giants will be striding into Virginia Beach later this year. I know we're looking at snow on the ground today, but if you can mentally transport yourself to the steamy days of summer 2014, you'll see two titans of glitzy 1970s rock on stage at Farm Bureau Live: Elton John and Alice Cooper.
Those two performers are playing separate concerts ... unfortunately. Elton John will play Thursday, June 12 and tickets go on sale 10 a.m., Friday Jan. 31. They're priced at $38 to $161 from Ticketmaster.
Alice Cooper is performing as an opener for 1980s pop-metal favorites Motley Crue, which is heading out this summer on what it's calling its farewell tour. Those tickets go on sale 10 a.m., Saturday, Feb. 1. They're $32-$144.50 from Ticketmaster.
Below you'll see news releases about both shows.
Farm Bureau Live at Virginia Beach
Thursday, June 12
Virginia Beach, VA – Elton John and his band return to Farm Bureau Live at Virginia Beach for the first time in 16 years on Thursday, June 12. The concert will feature iconic hits and classic album tracks from throughout his incredible five-decade career, as well as a selection of new songs from his highly-anticipated album, The Diving Board, which was released by Capitol Records on September 24.
Elton John's band includes Davey Johnstone on guitar, Matt Bissonette on bass, John Mahon on percussion, Nigel Olsson on drums, and Kim Bullard on keyboards.
"We are thrilled to have Elton John return to Virginia Beach after 16 years. It will be an incredible evening and a can't-miss show", stated Tabatha Webster, General Manager, Farm Bureau Live at Virginia Beach. "We can't wait for him to bring his state-of-the-art, new "million dollar stage production" to our city in 2014. It will truly be a night to remember!"
Tickets go on sale to the public Friday, January 31st at 10 a.m.
The Diving Board, which is produced by T Bone Burnett, features 12 new songs written by Elton and his longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin. The new album returns Elton to the piano, bass and drums lineup that marked the artist's introduction to worldwide audiences more than 40 years ago. As he explains, "I'm incredibly excited about every aspect of this album: The performances, T Bone's production, Bernie's lyrics and the songs we've created. The Diving Board is the album I've been waiting to make for decades." The Diving Board, now available everywhere CD's are sold, including elton john.com.
Elton is one of the top-selling solo artists of all time, with 35 gold and 25 platinum albums, 29 consecutive Top 40 hits, and he has sold more than 250 million records worldwide. Elton holds the record for the biggest selling single of all time, "Candle in the Wind '97," which sold 37 million copies. He also holds the record for most appearances on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart, with his newest single, "Home Again" marking his 69th entry. Since his career began in 1969 he has played almost 3,000 concerts worldwide. John has recently been named the first recipient of the BRITs Icon Award, which recognizes the very highest level of British music achievement, presented only to iconic artists whose writing, recording and performances set them apart as having made a lasting impact on the nation's culture.

Los Angeles, CA (January 28, 2014) – After more than three decades together, iconic rock 'n roll band MÖTLEY CRÜE announced today The Final Tour and the band's ultimate retirement. The announcement was solidified when the band signed a formal Cessation Of Touring Agreement, effective at the end of 2015, in front of global media in Los Angeles today. Celebrating the announcement of The Final Tour, the band will perform on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" TONIGHT and will appear on "CBS This Morning" TOMORROW MORNING.
With over 80 million albums sold, MÖTLEY CRÜE has sold out countless tours across the globe and spawned more than 2,500 MÖTLEY CRÜE branded items sold in over 30 countries. MÖTLEY CRÜE has proven they know how to make a lasting impression and this tour will be no different. Fans can expect to hear the catalogue of their chart- topping hits and look forward to mind-blowing, unparalleled live production. "When it comes to putting together a new show we always push the envelope and that's part of Motley Crue's legacy," explains Nikki Sixx (bass). "As far as letting on to what we're doing, that would be like finding out what you're getting for Christmas before you open the presents. We think in an age of too much information, we'd like to keep some surprises close to our chest until we launch the Final Tour."
The Final Tour presented by Dodge and produced by Live Nation will kick off in North America on July 2nd in Grand Rapids, MI and reach 72 markets before hitting international territories in 2015. To Live Nation, MÖTLEY CRÜE tours are not only box office successes but artistically their shows have set the bar for production and entertainment value. "There's no arguing that Motley Crue have been and always will be the definitive bad boys of rock and roll," says Rick Franks, Live Nation's Regional President of North America Concerts. "But behind all those notorious stories is a legendary rock band that has revolutionized heavy metal and created some of the biggest hits in music history. They are a hugely successful global brand and a touring powerhouse. Everyone at Live Nation has a tremendous amount of respect for these hard working and extremely talented gentlemen. The music industry will never have another Motley Crue."
The Dodge Brothers were a notorious duo, so it seemed only natural to partner with the World's Most Notorious Rock Band. "Whenever I talk to people about Motley Crue, the common thread is how cool and relevant the band remains even after 33 years," said Tim Kuniskis, President and CEO, Dodge Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "This irreverent 'staying power' resonates deeply with the Dodge brand as we turn the corner on our 100 year anniversary. What better way to celebrate the band's final tour and the 25th anniversary of Kickstart My Heart than to do it together?"
Fans can look forward to Very Special Guest, ALICE COOPER joining MÖTLEY CRÜE for an incredible package – Alice invented the genre and MÖTLEY CRÜE put steroids in it! "Real hard rock bands are hard to find these days," said Alice, continuing, "Motley has always gone on stage with one attitude and that's to blow the audience away. That's exactly how we do it. Putting Motley Crue and Alice Cooper together is going to be just what this summer really NEEDS. We're going to go out there and tear it up, and I can't wait to see Motley on stage. Motley Crue and Alice Cooper - A match made in... Armageddon?"
As documented in the Cessation Of Touring Agreement the band signed at the press conference today, the band will not tour after this Final Tour. Band Attorney, Doug Mark of Mark Music & Media Law, explains "Other bands have split up over rancor or the inability of people to get along, but this is mutual among all four original members and a peaceful decision to move on to other endeavors and to confirm it with a binding agreement." Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee, and Mick Mars will go their separate ways after the lengthy 2-year touring cycle. Tommy Lee (drums) explains "Everything must come to an end!! We always had a vision of going out with a big fucking bang and not playing county fairs and clubs with 1 or 2 original band members! Our job here is done!!!" Of the band's tumultuous history, Mick Mars (guitar) adds "(It has been) more drama than 'General Hospital' - it keeps 'em watchin' and they keep comin' back." Vocalist, Vince Neil says of the Finality of the tour - "I'll miss playing with the guys but I won't quit playing rock and roll!! I feel there are a lot of great opportunities and exciting projects after Motley."
The Final Tour will coincide with the film made from MÖTLEY CRÜE's NY Times Best-Selling book The Dirt. Jeff Tremaine (Bad Grandpa) has signed on to direct the opus that is set to debut in theaters globally in 2015, coinciding with The Final Tour. The Dirt is not only one of the best selling rock books of all time but also one of the greatest rock books of all time because of its brutal honesty, its unique voice, its multiple perspectives on the same events and its first-person inclusion of all members of the same band. Most rock memoirs are salacious mud-slinging accounts of a single person and MÖTLEY CRÜE was adamant to include the perspectives of all four of its members. Tremaine's intention is to make, not just a great movie about a band, but a great movie about four misfits who, despite themselves and everyone else, band together to overcome the odds and change the history of Rock & Roll. "The Dirt' is a movie I've wanted to make ever since I read the book in 2002," says Tremaine. "I relate to the story on so many levels; my whole professional career has been about boys behaving badly, so I have a real connection to the material. It's awesome to be working with the band at such an exciting time in Motley Crue's history." The film will be produced by the members of MÖTLEY CRÜE, Rick Yorn, Julie Yorn, Erik Olsen and 10th Street Entertainment.
BIG MACHINE RECORDS, home to Country Superstars such as Taylor Swift and Tim McGraw has teamed up in a joint venture with MÖTLEY RECORDS and ELEVEN SEVEN MUSIC for the summer 2014 release of a Country Music Tribute To MÖTLEY CRÜE. BIG MACHINE founder and CEO, Scott Borchetta, is among the legion of Country Music fans who love MÖTLEY CRÜE. The country tribute album will show off the band's quality songwriting with these fresh takes on their classic hit songs. Among the artists already confirmed to be featured on the country tribute album are Florida Georgia Line and Rascal Flatts. Borchetta says of the collaboration, "I have been a not-so-secret Crue fan from the beginning. When manager Chris Nilsson called with the idea for a tribute album on Big Machine Records it was an immediate 'yes' from me! Our album will highlight just how great the Motley Crue song catalog is. At the end of the day, that's what will stand the test of time."

About Dodge Brand
The Dodge brand is tearing into its centennial year with a keen eye focused on the future and a desire to create vehicles customers can't wait to drive and are proud to park in their driveways. With 100 years of history, Dodge is building on the technological advancements of the '30s and '40s, design evolution of the '50s, the racing heritage of the '60s, the horsepower of the '70s, the efficiency of the '80s and unbelievable styling of the '90s as it paves the road to its future. New for 2014, the Dodge Durango "is kind of a big deal," with a new eight-speed transmission that delivers up to 25 miles per gallon on the highway, a new 8.4-inch Uconnect Touch infotainment center and best-in-class power, towing and fuel economy, in addition to its class-exclusive technology. The new Durango joins the new 2014 Dodge Dart with its new 2.4-liter Tigershark engine, as well as the 2014 Avenger, Challenger, Charger, Journey and a 30th Anniversary Grand Caravan.

About Alice Cooper
Alice Cooper is a true rock icon, having pioneered the use of theatrics and shocking images onstage in concerts from the earliest days of the original band of the same name. Since going solo, he has continued to produce elaborate stage shows providing fans with both shock and rock of the highest caliber. Inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame in 2011, Alice has toured and recorded continuously, with his most recent album being Welcome 2 My Nightmare. Recorded with longtime collaborator Bob Ezrin, who produced the original ground breaking, multi-platinum Welcome To My Nightmare album in 1975, the album picks up right where they left off, with Alice trapped in his own warped mind. Alice's catalog of hits and anthems, including "I'm Eighteen," "No More Mr Nice Guy," School's Out," "Elected," "Poison," and others, are included in his current "Raise The Dead" show, which also features his musical tribute to his fallen friends John Lennon, Keith Moon, Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix. Currently, Alice's touring band features the three guitar attack of Orianthi, Tommy Henriksen and Ryan Roxie, backed by bassist Chuck Garric and drummer Glen Sobel. Additionally, "Nights With Alice Cooper," Alice's nightly radio show, is available in nearly 100 cities in the USA, Canada, Australia, and the UK. The show features his favorite classic rock songs along with his insider anecdotes about many of the artists.

The Katrina Recovery Team is dedicated to helping survivors of the devastating 2005 hurricane as they work to rebuild their homes and reclaim their communities. For more than 10 years, Bucknell volunteers have traveled to the New Orleans and Mississippi Gulf Coast regions to help those who lost so much to the destructive power of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
***Follow the adventures of the Fall 2017 Katrina Recovery Team on the trip blog***
Initial work consisted of clearing debris from flooded homes, and "gutting" or taking out the walls, cabinets and appliances, so that the buildings could be reconstructed from the base. More recently, delegations have been involved in helping the St. Bernard Project and other nonprofit groups build new houses or refurbish damaged homes so that residents can return to their neighborhoods.
As a service-learning course, the aim is not only to perform valuable service, but to educate participants and members of the Bucknell community about both the natural and man-made causes of the catastrophe, and the need to advocate for critical changes in coastal restoration, flood protection systems, emergency preparedness, disaster response, and crisis management. Participants are also exposed to the unique, vibrant culture of New Orleans through a variety of planned excursions, as well as free time to explore the city.
For any questions regarding the Katrina Recovery Team, or to make a donation to the project, please email Kyle Bray or call 570.577.3928.

The Washington Administrative Code: Title 478 WAC resource provides those Washington Administrative Code (WAC) rules that are promulgated by the University of Washington. Each Washington State agency is provided with a separate title number under which it issues its WAC rules; the University's designated title is: Title 478 WAC. WAC rules are issued by authority of specific enabling statutes (as published in the Revised Code of Washington, or RCW) and like legislation and the state Constitution these WAC rules are a source of primary law in Washington State. Subject matter that requires WAC rule making by the University (rather than a University policy) is included in the state's definition of "rule," see: RCW 34.05.010 (16). The University official(s) delegated responsibility for this subject matter work with the University's division of the Attorney General's Office in determining when WAC rules are required.
WAC rules are published by Washington State's Office of the Code Reviser, which is also responsible for editing the final copy of all WAC rules. The Office of the Code Reviser's style guide, the Bill Drafting Guide, Part IV, Instructions on Style, includes extensive use of lower case capitalization.
The revision history for each WAC section is located at the end of that section. WAC sections can be initiated, amended, and repealed independent of the chapter in which they appear and contain separate revision histories. The revision history for a WAC section usually contains the relevant statute authority under which the section was initiated or amended; the Washington State Register (WSR) number (or Order Number for older sections) under which it appeared in the WSR; the WAC section number; the filing date on which the final Rule Making Order was filed with the state's Office of the Code Reviser by the agency; and the effective date of the rule.
A link to the "dispositions" of sections formerly contained in the chapter may also appear on the table of contents page for a WAC chapter. This link provides the revision history for sections formerly contained in the chapter but since have been repealed. A similar "dispositions" link appears on the overall chapter table of contents page which connects to the revision history of complete chapters that have been repealed.
When referring to a WAC section, the "WAC" indicator appears first, followed by a number made up of three parts: the title number, the chapter number, and the section number. All chapter headings included in the UW Policy Directory are from Title 478 WAC, which indicates those WAC rules promulgated by the University of Washington. Therefore, all WAC numbers in the UW Policy Directory start with "478." WAC numbers are divided by dashes (while Revised Code of Washington [RCW] numbers are divided by periods). The chapter number appears after the first dash and the section number appears after the second dash. Generally, but not always, these are three digit numbers. So, WAC 478-136-030, indicates a section of code in Title 478, Chapter 136, and Section 030.
When referring to a WAC chapter, the title and chapter number appear before the "WAC" indicator: Chapter 478-136 WAC. When referring to a WAC title, the title number also appears before the "WAC" indicator: Title 478 WAC.

Example: Chapter 478-136 WAC, "Use of University of Washington Facilities"
WAC rules are initiated, amended, and repealed according to the Washington State Administrative Procedure Act (Chapter 34.05 RCW). At the University of Washington, the process of initiating, amending, or repealing WAC rules is handled by the University's designated Rules Coordinator in the Rules Coordination Office.
The content of the University's WAC rules is the responsibility of the University official(s) delegated that authority by executive order. The Rules Coordinator works with the appropriate University official(s) and the University division of the Attorney General's Office to develop the proposed rule(s), and with the state Office of the Code Reviser to create the final draft language. The Rules Coordinator also oversees the state's rule-making process, including official filings with the state Office of the Code Reviser, publication of notices, public hearings, and coordination with the Office of the President and the University's Board of Regents for adoption of the rules. Except for temporary, emergency WAC rules and housekeeping amendments (both of which may be adopted by the University President), permanent WAC rules are adopted by the University's Board of Regents. University WAC rules currently undergoing or recently completing the rule-making process are listed in the University's Docket of WAC Rules.

Effects of the drought
|A Christian County (KY) cornfield at Memorial Day
The price of corn has been kept high in recent years by the production of corn ethanol. Also, China and other densely populated countries buy corn to help feed the masses, thus driving up corn prices further. Apparently excited by high corn prices. one of our neighbors harvested his wheat this spring before it looked ready and quickly planted corn in the stubble, (Then he accidentally burned the little corn plants with fertilizer -- which was probably both frustrating and embarrassing.)
We had a dryer-than-usual winter and spring in 2012, but if we had received a few generous rains in June, we could still have had a good corn crop. Even our neighbor's fertilizer-burned corn was looking pretty good. But we had an exceptionally hot June (day after day of 100° or more) with just a few sprinkles of rain. By the beginning of July, when the corn in Christian County should have been growing big, full ears, many fields were already dying from the drought.
|USDA image for week of July 28, 2012
When we have a corn crop failure in Christian County, it takes millions of bushels of corn out of the market. We grew almost 11 million bushels of corn in 2011, but the crop this year will be much less than that. And the drought extends across most of the U.S. -- in fact, many areas are dryer than Christian County. The entire harvest of food in the United States this year is going to be a lot smaller.
|A very dry pasture in the Missouri Ozarks, July 2012
Some agricultural experts are urging the U.S. to lower its requirements (quotas) for ethanol production so that more corn will be available for food worldwide. Russia is also experiencing a drought.
The federal government is offering some emergency assistance to Kentucky farmers in drought stricken areas. Low interest emergency loans are available. Conservation Reserve Program lands may be used for hay or pasture with some restrictions and conditions. Crop insurance providers have been asked to voluntarily offer farmers an extra month before charging interest on the unpaid portion of crop insurance premiums.
The Climate Prediction Center sees little rain in the near future for Kentucky. The drought is expected to continue through October.

LAS VEGAS (AP) Anthony Bennett scored 22 points to lead five players in double figures and No. 18 UNLV won its season opener, 92-54 over Northern Arizona on Monday night.
Reserve Bryce Dejean-Jones added 15 points for the Runnin' Rebels (1-0) while Anthony Marshall and Katin Reinhardt had 14 points apiece and Savon Goodman added 11.
The 92 points were the highest point total for the Runnin' Rebels in a season-opener since 2005-06 when it opened with a 108-73 win over Long Beach State. UNLV extended its home winning streak to 19 regular-season games, which dates to the end of 2010-11.
UNLV extended its NCAA Division I record for consecutive games with a 3-pointer. Since the 3-point field goal was adopted by the NCAA in 1986-87, UNLV has converted at least one in all 841 games played.
Dewayne Russell had 16 points for Northern Arizona (0-1).

SPENCER � Police removed a man from the Spencer-East Brookfield Regional School Committee meeting Monday night after he angrily questioned the superintendent about an incident at Wire Village School in which a child was injured.
The man, from East Brookfield, was asking whether children in the school are safe after a 7-year-old was seriously hurt during an incident on the playground on Oct. 4 involving another 7-year-old.
In a heated exchange, interim Superintendent Edward Malvey told the man the incident was none of his business, and school committee Chairman John Howard asked that police remove the man.
After the meeting, Mr. Malvey said he could not discuss specifics about the incident and said police and school officials are looking into the matter.
The child was injured on Oct. 4, but police were not told until several days later because, Mr. Malvey said, employees from the school department could not speak to the injured child, who they later learned was hospitalized.
Spencer police said the state Department of Children and Families is involved in the investigation and the Worcester district attorney's office was notified.
The boy underwent surgery and requires additional treatment, police said.
Parents have expressed concern because they were not told of the incident until a letter was sent home late last week. Some took their concerns to social media, including Facebook and Twitter.
Mr. Malvey said he is prohibited by law from discussing the students involved, the nature of the injuries or whether the child accused of inflicting the injury was disciplined.

Bryan Hanks waxes on the national, state and local political races
We�ve had a few days to process the results of Tuesday�s election so let�s take a few minutes to analyze it.
The craziest thing for Lenoir County residents is the juxtaposition of the three sets of races we witnessed; Democrats dominated locally, Republicans dominated throughout North Carolina and the Dems made giant strides nationally.
DEMOCRATS RULE LOCALLY: There weren�t a lot of happy Republicans in Lenoir County Tuesday night after a total Democratic sweep in the Board of Commissioners and school board races.
While I wasn�t that surprised in the school board races for District 3 (Jonathon Sargeant over Molly Smith), at-large (Bruce Hill, Merwyn Smith over Giles Stroud, Tony Turner) and the two at-large seats on the Board of Commissioners (Reuben Davis, Linda Rouse Sutton over Darrell Eubanks, Patricia Von Canon), I was surprised at the ease in which political newcomer Craig Hill defeated incumbent Republican Tommy Pharo for the District 3 county commissioner seat.
There were several factors for Hill�s victory, including name recognition (he is a former teacher, coach and principal in the Lenoir County Schools system) and demeanor (Hill is perceived as somewhat laid-back while Pharo is fiery but fair). But I can�t help but wonder if there was some sort of Stephen LaRoque fallout effect in play here, though; Pharo was � at least early in his term � closely associated with the three-term state representative whose trial for misappropriating federal funds will take place early in 2013.
Regardless, some local political observers considered this a lay-up for Pharo and the Lenoir County GOP until Hill entered the race. With Jackie Brown winning her District 4 race in unopposed fashion, the Democrats now hold a 5-2 advantage on the Board of Commissioners, with Eric Rouse and J. Mac Daughety as the lone Republicans on the board. Commissioners� Chairman and Democrat George Graham, who we�ll get to in a moment, will be replaced on the board by another Democrat soon, after he won the N.C. House District 12 seat.
REPUBLICANS RULE STATEWIDE: Graham � who was named by District 12 Democrats to run for the seat of the late William Wainwright after Wainwright�s death in the summer � easily won his race in the Democrat-leaning district.
Likewise, Republican John Bell dominated his race for LaRoque�s old District 10 seat. Bell�s victory helped the GOP pick up 77 of 120 seats in the House, while Republicans also hold 32 of 50 N.C. Senate seats, giving them so-called �super-majorities� in both bodies.
Overall, North Carolina became as solid a red state as it could with Pat McCrory�s landslide victory for the Governor�s Mansion and Dan Forest appearing to have eked out the lieutenant governor�s seat � the first time that�s happened in 20 years.
So � how�d that happen? It appears Tar Heel State residents have grown weary of incessant Mike Easley/Bev Perdue controversies (real or implied); as hard as Walter Dalton (Perdue�s lieutenant governor the past four years) attempted to distance himself from her, he was unable.
DEMOCRATS RULE NATIONALLY: I don�t care what anyone says � no one knew President Barack Obama was going to roll to the easy victory against Mitt Romney. There were some projections that had the presidential election not being decided until possibly the end of the week.
With Florida officially going blue Saturday afternoon, Obama and the Democrats took nine of the 10 battleground states in the presidential campaign � with North Carolina being the only state to go Romney.
Obama�s reelection makes no logical sense. He won despite unemployment being over 8 percent, which had never happened before in U.S. history. His campaign was solidly outspent by Romney�s and national political observers declared Romney the winner in two of the three presidential debates � and called the third debate a draw.
So how�d the president win? Obama won the black vote to the tune of 95 percent nationally and also overwhelmingly won the Latino vote. When a candidate can significantly solidify an entire base � be it black, Latino, white, etc., it�s going to be hard to beat that candidate.
Democrats didn�t just dominate in the presidential race, they also made strides in both houses of Congress, which means Obama won�t be a lame duck in at least the first two years of his final term.
LOOKING AHEAD: With Tuesday out of the way, it�s time to look ahead to the 2013 races � which, in Kinston, means we�ll have some interesting municipal races. They�ll look a bit different, though, as the race for mayor and two City Council seats will be � for the first time � nonpartisan, one of LaRoque�s solid victories.
First and foremost will be the race for mayor, currently held by B.J. Murphy, who won the seat as a Republican for the first time in city history. He�s made no public statement whether he�ll run for reelection or not, but if my feet were held to the fire, I�d bet he�s running again.
So who�ll run against Murphy? Some of the possibilities I�ve heard include current City Councilmen Joe Tyson and Robbie Swinson, along with former City Councilman Jimmy Cousins.
Swinson and Bobby Merritt�s seats on the city council will also be up for grabs; if Swinson doesn�t make a run for the mayor�s office, he�s a virtual lock to win a third time. Merritt has to also be considered a strong incumbent, if he chooses to run again.
Potential candidates against Swinson and Merritt include local businessmen John Nix (who unsuccessfully ran as an unaffiliated candidate in 2011) and Earl Harper.
Although he�s quick to deny it, I�ve heard former Kinston Department of Public Safety Director Greg Smith�s name floated out there for a City Council run � and he�d be an interesting and popular candidate.
If former City Councilman and N.C. House District 10 representative Van Braxton threw his hat in the ring, I wouldn�t be surprised, either � and he�d be a pretty solid candidate, as well.
With it being a nonpartisan race, there�ll be no need for a primary, which means there could be a number of candidates for mayor and city council in the race.
By the by, if you�d like to hear a solid 45 minutes of political analysis � including interviews with Graham and Bell � listen to this week�s Free Press Radio Show, which is produced by the multi-talented Jon Dawson. There are some interesting nuggets in it, including their analysis of Tuesday�s results.

Greatest holiday gift for Hunter is time with family
DETROIT -- Torii Hunter didn't get a chance to take part in the holiday spirit in Michigan like he had planned. The ice storm that hit Texas earlier this month kept the Tigers All-Star outfielder from making the trip to Detroit for the Tigers' annual Holiday Giving Party for foster care kids and their families. He still lent his support.
It put the finishing touch on a year in which Hunter tried to give back to the community that became his baseball home last season.
DETROIT -- Torii Hunter didn't get a chance to take part in the holiday spirit in Michigan like he had planned. The ice storm that hit Texas earlier this month kept the Tigers All-Star outfielder from making the trip to Detroit for the Tigers' annual Holiday Giving Party for foster care kids and their families. He still lent his support.
It put the finishing touch on a year in which Hunter tried to give back to the community that became his baseball home last season.
"My wife [Katrina] said we should do that, because a lot of guys are with their families and don't get a chance to come up back to Detroit," Hunter said. "We decided we should do that and get back in the community and show that we really believe in this. But we had the storm and we couldn't make it there. We wish we could've been there, because our kids are off playing college football."
Indeed, the first year for the Hunters as empty-nesters has put a new twist on their holiday season. Instead of Christmas with all the kids, son Torii Jr. will spend the holiday in New York with the Notre Dame football team at a ballpark his father knows quite well. The Fighting Irish will face Rutgers on Dec. 28 at Yankee Stadium. Torii Jr., a freshman wide receiver redshirting this season, made the travel squad for the game.
"A place where I've roamed a couple years," said the elder Hunter, who had interest from the Yankees last offseason before signing with Detroit. "They're going to practice there a couple times. It's pretty cool. It's a great experience for all those kids. Experience is the most important thing in the world. Some people think experience will be like a nice car, but those things fade away."
The Hunter family won't be there. Instead, they'll welcome their son home after that game for his remaining winter break. They'll travel together to another bowl game to watch another son, Monshadrik "Money" Hunter. He's a starting defensive back for Arkansas State, which will face Ball State on Jan. 5 in the GoDaddy Bowl in Mobile, Ala.
"I'm taking 10 of my family members, and I'm going to be supportive," Torii Hunter said. "I'm a dad. I'm a fan. It's been fun just traveling. It's been fun hanging with the kids and going to practice. I've been traveling a lot this offseason."
For this Christmas, however, Hunter will stick close to home. Since both his mother and extended family and his wife's family live in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, they don't have to worry about hitting the highways.
Hunter took a few minutes last week to talk about holiday traditions:
MLB.com: You've talked about your upbringing in tough times before. What was Christmas like for you growing up?
Hunter: Let's not forget that the reason for the season is Jesus Christ. My mom always said that. Yes, there are gifts, but the true gift was Jesus being born, and she would always say that. When I get older I started understanding what she was saying.
I always wanted gifts, and my mom couldn't give us much, because I had three siblings and we didn't have much money. We'd get those little green army men, because we could go up to the dollar store and get those for a dollar. We might get a couple other things. My favorite was a remote control car, because my uncle would buy it. We were so excited, we'd always break it within 24 hours because we played with it every minute.
We were grateful, and we appreciated everything. But the main reason for the season, and I know not everybody's Christian, is that everybody has that giving spirit. You can give gifts of material things, but giving your time and your effort is good too, going to homes and just visiting and smiling and talking to people. Those are great gifts when you're doing that, not just little green men or a remote control car. When you're visiting people or opening the door for someone at the mall, it's a great gift, or saying, 'You look nice today.' If you can lift somebody's day, that's a gift.
MLB.com: What are the holidays like for you now?
Hunter: For me and my family, I always tell them God has blessed us. It's Christmas every day for my family. So on Christmas, we get together and play cards and play games and laugh and eat. Not so many gifts being thrown around, but the main gift is family coming together. Most of us are spread out around different cities, and the main gift is coming together and telling stories and telling jokes for five or six days. The greatest gift is not to be alone, and that's what my family figured out after so much time. We don't really give many gifts in my family. We come together and enjoy the moment. Those gifts, they fade away, but those moments never fade away.
MLB.com: Any big family traditions?
Hunter: My wife, she's from Pine Bluff, Arkansas, as well. We open gifts at my wife's house in the morning. We sit around, we talk and laugh and then we go to my mom's house and open gifts over there. So I'm doing a lot of different sides. It's an all-day event. We're playing cards over at my mom's house and laughing and cracking jokes.
Family is everything, not just in my life, but for the people reading this. It's about family, but I think some people just kind of forgot about it. It's not about stress. It's not about putting yourself in debt.
MLB.com: How much different will it be with the kids all grown and in college?
Hunter: Actually, our kids, they won't get no gifts. It's Christmas every day with them suckers. [Laughs.] When they get that age, 19, 18, you actually get, 'Hey, don't buy me a gift.' But you still want to do that. They say, 'Hey, give me the money, and I'll get my own gift.' Or they don't want anything at all. They'll stay around every day, but this Christmas, they have bowl games.

More real-estate investors, particularly those saving for retirement, are seeking solid returns. But they're not buying homes. They're buying mortgages.
As the residential market bounces back, investors are showing renewed interest in buying mortgage-backed securities—loans that the lenders have bundled and sold as consolidated debt. Since selling off jumbo mortgages lessens lenders' risk, more banks, credit unions and other financial institutions are offering jumbos. And more competition could mean better terms for consumers.
In the first quarter of 2013, $4 billion worth of jumbo loans were sold by lenders, more than the $3.5 billion total of securitized jumbos in all of 2012, according to Guy Cecala, publisher of Inside Mortgage Finance. If the pace holds through 2013, the volume of securitized loans could reach $16 billion, Cecala said.
However, while a 400% annual increase is significant, $16 billion still represents just 7% of the $220 billion volume projected for jumbo loans in 2013, he added. Lenders issued $203 billion in jumbo loans in 2012, and securitized loans accounted for less than 2% of that total.
"The vast majority of jumbo loans aren't securitized still, and the [secondary] market has a long way to go to be any reflection of what it used to be before the housing crash," Cecala said.
Before 2008, as many as two-thirds to three-fourths of all jumbo residential mortgages were securitized, he said. Then the mortgage meltdown occurred, and investors shunned jumbo securitized mortgages in favor of investments containing pools of government-backed mortgages by Fannie Mae FNMA, +3.38% or Freddie Mac FMCC, +3.18% which only guarantee loan amounts up to $417,000 in most of the U.S. and $625,500 in pricey metro areas, such as New York and San Francisco. That dearth of the secondary market meant lenders had to hold any jumbo mortgages, which are above those dollar limits, on their books.
Redwood Trust Inc. RWT, +0.56% was the first player to re-enter the jumbo secondary market in 2010, and the real-estate investment trust, or REIT, has announced plans to securitize $7 billion in jumbo loans in 2013, three times more than its $2 billion volume in 2012. Its success has triggered more investors, including Credit Suisse CS, +0.43% , Shellpoint Partners, JP Morgan Chase & Co. JPM, +0.75% , Two Harbors Investment TWO, +0.28% and PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust PMT, +0.99%
The secondary market's rebirth has allowed EverBank Financial Corp. EVER, -0.45% to offer 30-year, fixed-rate jumbo mortgages, said Tom Wind, executive vice president of residential and commercial lending for the Jacksonville, Fla.-based bank. Interest rates for a 30-year, fixed-rate jumbo mortgage were 4.20% on May 31, just 0.13 basis points more than the 4.07% rate for a conforming mortgage.
EverBank sold its first pool of securitized prime jumbo loans on the secondary market in April, netting $307.4 million, according to a Securities Exchange Commission filing. The lender anticipates bundling and selling more jumbos this year, Wind said.
The ability to sell loans has allowed San Francisco-based RPM Mortgage to expand its jumbo originations by 233% from 2011 to 2012, said Julian Hebron, vice president of the San Francisco-based boutique lender. RPM is now the second-highest volume lender to home buyers in the nine-county Bay Area, where jumbos now account for 48.1% of all purchase lending, according to DataQuick. RPM's year-to-date 2013 jumbo production already has exceeded its 2012 total, Hebron said.
Other issues to consider:
Credit qualifications remain tight. Investors look to buy securitized loans from lenders with tight qualification standards for borrowers, so solid credit scores, high down payments and excellent loan-to-income ratios are still important, Wind said.
Customer service. When lenders securitize loans, they sometimes retain servicing, and sometimes the purchaser takes it on. Currently, RPM retains servicing on 40% of its jumbo loans, but Hebron said he hopes the expanded secondary market will allow the firm to increase that number to 80%. "We want to remain the point of contact for our customer," he added.
New rules coming. New Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regulations take effect in early 2014 that may require lenders and/or securitizers to hold 5% of the amount of securitized loans that aren't qualified mortgages. Some loan types, such as interest-only loans, may be more difficult for borrowers to find, since securitizers will be less likely to want to buy them from lenders due to the 5% rule, said Keith Gumbinger, vice president at HSH.com, a mortgage-information website.

NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's softball team lost to Eastern Connecticut State, 5-0 and 8-0, in a Little East Conference doubleheader Tuesday at UMass Dartmouth Athletic Complex. The Warriors were considered the home team, because the twin bill was moved to UMass Dartmouth because their home field was unavailable.
Eastern Connecticut junior pitcher Molly Rathbun (Hebron, CT/RHAM HS) threw a no hitter in the first game of the doubleheader. Rathbun helped her cause in the bottom of the first inning with a home run, giving ECSU a 1-0 lead. In the fourth inning, sophomore outfielder Danielle Bourne (Branford, CT/Branford HS) plated two runs on a single to left field. Bourne and sophomore Arielle Cooper (Mystic, CT/Fitch Senior HS) later scored on errors by Corsairs freshman shortstop Emily Pontes (Tewksbury, MA/Essex Agricultural Tech HS), putting ECSU up to the eventual final score of 5-0. Rathbun (11-0) pitched seven innings, allowing no hits with two walks and 18 strikeouts. Corsairs junior pitcher Brittany Eldridge (7-12; Raynham, MA/Bridgewater-Raynham HS) gave up five runs on six hits with two walks and three strikeouts.
In the nightcap, the Warriors jumped out to an early lead. Freshman infielder Megan Godwin (Manchester, CT/Manchester HS) doubled then scored on a double by Rathbun. With Rathbun on second, Cooper homered to deep centerfield, giving ECSU a 3-0 lead. UMD had the bases loaded in the top of the second but failed to bring any runners home. A double by Godwin in the fourth scored junior outfielder Priscilla Alicea (Stratford, CT/Trumbull HS), making the score 4-0. Cooper scored in the bottom of the fifth on a single by senior catcher Rachael Soychak (Mahopac, NY/Lakeland HS), then was pinch run for by sophomore catcher Katie Sokolowski (Eastford, CT/Woodstock Academy HS), who scored on a wild pitch by Eldridge. The Warriors closed out the game in the bottom of the sixth after Alicea scored on a wild pitch by Corsairs junior pitcher Ashley Felaccio (Acushnet, MA/Fairhaven HS), then Rathbun came around to score on a single by Cooper, securing the 8-0 victory. Pontes had two of the Corsairs four hits in the game. Eldridge took the loss in the second game, pitching six innings and allowing six runs on nine hits with three strikeouts. ECSU sophomore pitcher Christine Akcer (8-1; Milford, CT/Jonathan Law HS) allowed four hits with four strikeouts in six innings of work.
"Overall, I thought we played pretty well today," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Amy Sasin. "We had a couple mistakes. [Eastern Connecticut] is a ranked team and for us to hang in with them is a feat. Our offense wasn't strong enough today to pick up our defense. It was a confidence builder and a learning experience for us and I'm proud of the team for not giving up, we fought until the end in this one"
UMass Dartmouth is now 7-16 and 1-7 in the Little East Conference, while Eastern Connecticut State is now 19-3 and 8-0. The Corsairs will return to action when they host Johnson & Wales Wednesday. The Warriors will visit Trinity Thursday.

UPDATED: Seven people were killed in a July 18 explosion on a bus carrying Israeli tourists in Bulgaria, in what both Bulgarian and Israeli authorities have labelled a suicide bombing.
Among the dead were five Israeli travellers, a Bulgarian bus driver and the bomber, Israel's Foreign Ministry reported.
Israel released the names of the five slain tourists, they were Maor Harush, 24, and Elior Price, 25, from Acre; Itzik Kolangi, 28, and Amir Menashe, 28, from Petah Tikva; and Kochava Shriki, 42, from Rishon Letzion. According to the Jerusalem Post, before boarding the flight to Bulgaria, Shriki received a call from her doctor with the good news that after many unsuccessful attempts, she was finally pregnant.
After the attack at Sarafovo Airport in Burgas, a city on the Black Sea Coast popular with Israeli tourists, at least 27 passengers were rushed to hospital, the Bulgarian news agency Novinte.com reported.
The bomb blew up one of three tour buses carrying Israelis, Israel's Channel 1 reported. Some 40 people were reported to have been on the bus. In all, some 150 Israeli tourists were part of the aborted Bulgarian tour.
The explosion occurred before the bus left the terminal, detonated by the bomber, who had been lurking near the bus posing as a U.S. citizen before finally boarding with the Israelis and then setting off his explosives.
The body suspected as belonging to the terrorist had a Michigan driver's licence, reportedly fake.
Initial news reports quoted Burgas Mayor Dimitar Nikolov as saying that explosives were stored in the luggage area of the bus. That has since been disproven.
The explosion occurred on the 18th anniversary of the terrorist attack on the AMIA Jewish centre in Buenos Aires that left 85 people dead in 1994.
In a statement soon after the event, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Iran for the attack.
"Just in the last few months, we saw Iran attempting to hurt Israelis in Thailand, India, Georgia, Kenya, Cyprus and other countries. Exactly 18 years after the infernal terror attack on the Jewish community centre in Argentina, the murderous terror of the Iranians continues to hurt innocent people. This is a terrorist Iranian aggression revealing itself all over the world. Israel will respond forcefully to the Iranian terror," Netanyahu said.
Israeli search and rescue teams were dispatched to Burgas, including a delegation from ZAKA, the Israeli rescue and recovery service.
Novinte.com reported that in January, Bulgarian authorities foiled a bomb attack on a charter bus for Israeli tourists heading from the Turkish border to a Bulgarian ski resort. A bomb was found on the bus.
Following this week's bombing, two seriously wounded Israelis were still in a hospital in Sofia, Bulgaria. The rest of the injured, and the bodies, were flown back to Israel on July 19.
The dead have not yet been positively identified, the foreign ministry said.
The Israeli tourists who escaped injury were also flown back.
Israeli President Shimon Peres vowed Israel would "locate and act against terror all over the world," as the wounded and dead arrived in Israel.
Brig.-Gen. Itzik Kreis, head of the Israeli Defence Forces medical corps, said the wounded returning to Israel were "less seriously hurt than we expected."
Kreis said that victims "got very good medical care in Bulgaria." He said injuries suffered in the bus bombing were similar to injuries caused by bus bombings in Israel.
"This was a bloody attack against civilians going on vacation. Many of them lost their lives. Others were wounded for no reason, for no purpose. They were attacked for the simple and unacceptable reason that they were Jewish or Israeli," Peres said.
"We will not forget, we will not ignore and we will not give up. Israel will locate and act against terror all over the world. We have the capabilities for it and are committed to act. We have the ability to silence and incapacitate the terror organizations. Anywhere in the world where it is possible we shall build friendship and anywhere in the world where it is necessary we will chase murderous terrorists. We will uproot terror both near and far."
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Thursday that Israel has concrete information that the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terror group carried out the attack.
Meanwhile, Bulgaria's Interior Ministry released video footage of the man identified as the suicide bomber.
The bomber was dressed like a tourist, Novinite.com reported. He had reportedly hung out for more than an hour near the buses slated to take the Israeli tourists to their hotel.
Bulgarian Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov said Bulgarian officials had received no warning of an imminent attack on Israeli or Jewish targets.
In a July 19 statement, Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird sent condolences to the victims of the attack. It's a "sad reminder of the need to remain vigilant against antisemitic violence, which can strike anywhere around the world," he said.
"On behalf of all Canadians, I offer our sincere condolences to those who lost loved ones in the deadly explosion. I wish a speedy recovery to those who were injured. Canada condemns such heinous acts without reservation and is confident that Bulgarian authorities will do all they can to ensure the perpetrators of this attack are brought to justice," Baird said.
Canada's Jewish community also expressed condolences.
In a statement, David Koschitzky, chair of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) offered support and prayers to the families of the victims in what he termed a "brazen attack."
With this attack and the AMIA bombing, "combined with the upcoming 40th anniversary of the Munich massacre, it is clear that the one constant of terrorism is that Jews around the world remain a favoured target. We are hopeful that authorities will be successful in their pursuit of those responsible for today's attack, and demonstrate that terrorists and their overseers will face justice – not impunity – for such atrocities," Koschitzky said.
Avi Benlolo, president and CEO of the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center Canada, also sent his sympathies to the families of the victims.
"Our prayers are with the loved ones of those who were murdered, as are our hopes for a complete recovery for the injured," he said in a statement.
"We are alarmed and distressed by the targeting of Jews around the world by terrorists who continue to demonstrate a complete lack of empathy in their indiscriminate antisemitic blood lust."
