Health Science Pre-Optometry
The combined Bachelor of Science/Doctor of Optometry (BS/OD) program between the University of Hartford (UHart) and the New England College of Optometry (NECO) provides a unique opportunity for students with career goals in optometry. The accelerated program typically allows for the completion of the BS/OD degrees in a seven-year period.
The BS/OD program is for the academically outstanding student with strong, realistic motivation toward the optometric profession. Initial study at the University of Hartford allows the student to complete the general education and basic science requirements for the BS in health science degree and the prerequisites necessary for professional study.
The BS degree is awarded by the University of Hartford following the successful completion of the first year of graduate study. Students who are not in the accelerated program typically complete the BS degree in four years at the University of Hartford.
The optometry program requires four years of combined academic and clinical training leading to the OD degree, which is a prerequisite for licensure eligibility in the United States. The New England College of Optometry provides students with an accredited four-year professional optometry curriculum.
Accreditation: The University of Hartford is accredited by the Board of Higher Education of the State of Connecticut and by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). The New England College of Optometry is accredited by the Accreditation Council on Optometric Education (ACOE) of the American Optometric Association (a member of the Council of Post-Secondary Accreditation) and NEASC.

Metallica is probably the most commercially successful heavy metal or hard rock band in history. Led by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, they have won 9 Grammy awards, sold over 100 million records across the globe, and had five number 1 albums. That charge for them all began with the Metallica, or black album, from 1991.The album went 15x platinum in the United States, and moved the band to super stardom across the globe. That album was followed by Load, ReLoad, St. Anger and Death Magnetic. None were able to match the massive success of Metallica, but all of them did quite well on their own as the band at times experimented with new styles and at times reverted to their old ways. Right now, the band is said to be working on writing and planning for the next album, although nothing definitive has been announced in terms of when that might be released.The good news for Metallica is that the band is going on a limited but exciting tour in the summer of 2011. They are doing some globetrotting and playing a very select amount of shows, including back to back nights in New York, the Rock in Rio show in Brazil, and a variety of other festivals and events at locales ranging from Quebec City to Milan, Italy. If you live in one of the areas you're visiting, you have to pick up your Metallica tour tickets before it's too late, and you can gear yourself up for the next upcoming album at the same time.

Many of the most exciting properties of materials arise due to interactions between electrons. Correlations between electrons' spins are involved in magnetism and may be responsible for high-temperature superconductivity—yet it's tough to get theory to match our experimental results. The major reason for the difficulty lies in how quickly they scale: the more interactions between spins, the more difficult it is to calculate their effects. As few as 30 interacting spins reaches the limits of modern computers.
Ironically, it turns out that the best way to model these quantum systems may be by using another quantum system. A promising new experiment demonstrates the simulation of hundreds of spins, using atoms as the simulation device.
In a crystal lattice, electron spins may interact with each other, which gives rise to the magnetic properties of a material. The more spins that interact within a solid, the more difficult it is to model the material exactly—even for 30 spins, the necessary level of processing pushes the limits of modern computing. Realistic materials contain far more than 30 atoms, but it won't be practical to simulate thousands of atoms for the foreseeable future.
A better method involves using atoms themselves to do the calculations. This type of analog computer was proposed by Richard Feynman in 1982, but it has taken advances in cooling and trapping atoms before the idea could be realized. (Analog computers, unlike their digital semiconductor-based cousins, simulate the equations of a physical system directly using electric circuits, oscillators, or—as in this case—controlled quantum states.) Simulating thousands of interacting spins only requires using thousands of atoms, a far more scalable option.
Joseph W. Britton et al. confined hundreds of beryllium atoms in an electromagnetic trap, creating an artificial lattice where the spins of the atoms could be controlled precisely. Each spin acts as a qubit (quantum bit) which falls into a binary state: spin-up or spin-down, analogous to the binary numbers 0 and 1 in ordinary logic. The interactions between the spins provided a good simulation of how they interact in a real material, while keeping them separate from other effects that are present in solids. While hundreds of atoms are still few compared to materials of realistic sizes, this experiment provides an excellent first step toward the large-scale quantum simulation of strongly correlated electron systems.
In their experiment, Britton et al. used a Penning trap, a special setup involving a combination of electric and magnetic fields. Between 100 and 350 beryllium ions (9Be+) were cooled using laser bombardment to dissipate their energy; once subjected to the electromagnetic fields, the ions naturally fell into a two-dimensional triangular lattice (as shown in the image above). The resulting "crystal" was approximately 0.3 millimeters across, and cooled nearly to absolute zero.
Ionization leaves one unpaired electron in the beryllium atoms. The spin of this lonely electron is the qubit, and the entire ion becomes a fermion, an object that obeys the Pauli exclusion principle, meaning two of them can't occupy the same state. The orientation of the spins either with or opposite to the magnetic field acts as a binary state, allowing them to probe the theory of magnetism in materials known as the Ising model.
While the magnetic field was used to control the orientation of all the spins, Britton et al. controlled the interaction strength and individual spin orientations using crossed lasers with different wavelengths. In this way, they could couple all spins to each other (a limiting case more than a realistic model), or limit the coupling to associations of the nearest neighbors. By keeping interaction strengths relatively small, they were able to compare how the atoms behaved to conventional approximations, thereby showing that their quantum simulator truly does reproduce the results expected from theory.
This experiment demonstrates that lattices of ions created by trapping are suitable for simulating complex quantum systems. Since such methods aren't particularly complicated by the standards of experimental atomic physics, it should be possible to test stronger interactions and spin configurations of different types. In this way, relatively simple configurations of large numbers of atoms can simulate far more complicated materials.

When I started reading "War and Peace" one month ago, I didn't even remember about the upcoming hundredth anniversary of Tolstoy's death. Today, I finished reading it and it happens that this is the day when one hundred years ago (28 October Old Style, 10 November New Style), Leo Tolstoy left his home together with his personal doctor Makovitsky. Tolstoy planned to escape from the annoying life in the comfortable mansion and to spend his last years in poverty and honesty. The doctor didn't quite understand Tolstoy, he thought they are going to visit some family members and didn't take enough money. Tolstoy kissed his daughter, took the suitcase and they left. They took third class railway tickets and departed to Kozelsk. A lot of people smoked in the car and Tolstoy had to go outside for fresh air. He spent about 45 minutes outside and these three quarters of an hour were crucial. Ten days later Tolstoy died of pneumonia on the railway station Astapovo. So smoking killed one of the most famous Russian writers.
Well, the story of his life and death is more or less well known and you can read his biography in almost any language. I would like to talk today about his novel "War and Peace". Tolstoy wrote later that the novel is fiction and that it may distort history to comply with the author's intentions. Indeed, there is a large number of inconsistencies, contradictions and anachronisms in the book. Let's have a look at some of them.
Do you know how the Russian text begins? Here's the first paragraph:
— Eh bien, mon prince. Gênes et Lueques ne sont plus que des apanages, des поместья, de la famille Buonaparte. Non, je vous préviens que si vous ne me dites pas que nous avons la guerre, si vous vous permettez encore de pallier toutes les infamies, toutes les atrocités de cet Antichrist (ma parole, j'y crois) — je ne vous connais plus, vous n'êtes plus mon ami, vous n'êtes plus мой верный раб, comme vous dites
This is the original Russian text, and I mean it :) Later in the novel, Tolstoy also mentions some noble whose patriotic feelings made him learn speaking Russian. Of course, Russian aristocrats of the 19th century usually spoke very good French, but Tolstoy is wrong here. In the first decade of the century, foreign-speaking aristocrats were rare. Those who lived in Russia, had to talk to their servants (and sometimes they spoke in a folksy manner for this reason). Only those who were born in abroad, spoke some foreign language sufficiently well. And this language was hardly ever French, because after the revolution of 1789 very few Russian aristocrats visited the lawless and rebellious France, they preferred Germany. Strange enough, but French became popular in the aristocratic salons after the Napoleonic wars, when children grew up who were raised in 1790s-1800s by French tutors, who fled from the revolution to Russia.
The family of Kuragins is painted by Tolstoy in a rather strange manner. Tolstoy dislikes them and his feelings are seen even in the names of the family members. So, the name Hippolyte is outstandingly unaristocratic. This name was typical for bourgeoisie, especially Polish. The title "prince Hippolyte" must have sounded absurd in 1805. His sister's name is Helene. Her name looks French, but it wasn't used among French nobility because of its foreign, Anglo-German sound. In Russia of the early 19th century, the name associated with Russified Germans. Just as often the name may be found in the form "Länchen", purely German (the name of the wife of Faddey Bulgarin). The brother of Hippolyte and Helene has the name Anatole. The name is neutral, but extremely rare in all countries of that time.
The novel begins in the aristocratic salon of Anna Scherer, maid of honor of the Empress. Another one of Tolstoy's errors. You see, maid of honour was not just a title. She was a maid, she could not be married. And maids absolutely could not invite guests, except for close relatives, and only during the day. So, a salon of a maid would be a flagrant violation of the public norms.
Besides, in July 1805 the guests of Anna Scherer would be out of the city, all of them. The royal family with all the courtiers would leave St. Petersburg to the summer residence. Army officers (including, for example, Dolokhov) would be in the summer camps.
Anatole Kuragin asks princess Mary for her hand in marriage, but he was only twenty years old. It was too early for him to marry. Later, he tries to run away with Natasha Rostova, even though he knows he cannot marry her (he had been married by that time). He should have known that Natasha was not a plebeian gal, she was a lady and ladies were not that defenceless. Firstly, Natasha's brothers would have demanded satisfaction. Secondly, Rostovs were a noble family and could have complained to the emperor himself, and his rage would have been quick and merciless. So, prince S. Trubetskoy was deprived of his title and property and sent to the army as a mere soldier when he tried to run away with a married lady.
Helene Kuragin wanted to divorce Pierre Bezukhov so much that she converted to catholicism, writes Tolstoy. Well, actually, she didn't have to. She could have divorced without much problems, because of the long time they lived separately. It was a legitimate reason for divorce. On the other hand, in 1812 the number of conversions to catholicism, always very small, dropped to zero. The problem was that the order of Jesuits was disbanded by the Pope in 1773 and restored only in 1814. In the meanwhile, the Jesuits found a shelter in Russia and their situation was so unstable that they would not risk losing the favor of the emperor by proselytizing.
Tolstoy writes about Prince Andrew: "After the Austerlitz campaign Prince Andrew had firmly resolved not to continue his military service, and when the war recommenced and everybody had to serve, he took a post under his father in the recruitment so as to avoid active service." It was hardly probably, since nobody could make a Russian aristocrat to serve unless he wanted to. This freedom was granted by the 1762 Manifesto of Peter III.
When Natasha Rostova visited her uncle, she danced in typical Russian manner, says Tolstoy: "Where, how, and when had this young countess, educated by an emigree French governess, imbibed from the Russian air she breathed that spirit and obtained that manner which the pas de chale would, one would have supposed, long ago have effaced? But the spirit and the movements were those inimitable and unteachable Russian ones... She did the right thing with such precision, such complete precision, that Anisya Fedorovna, who had at once handed her the handkerchief she needed for the dance, had tears in her eyes, though she laughed as she watched this slim, graceful countess, reared in silks and velvets and so different from herself, who yet was able to understand all that was in Anisya and in Anisya's father and mother and aunt, and in every Russian man and woman."
But Natasha spent a large part of her life in village and she had to have seen the village girls dancing and, of course, she knew the folk style of dancing.
Now, Pierre Bezukhov. When he first appeared in the book, "Anna Pavlovna greeted him with the nod she accorded to the lowest hierarchy in her drawing room", because he was a bastard, but the bastards were not treated this way even in the highest society. So, another bastard, N. Novosiltsev, the base son of the sister of the Count Stroganov, was one of the "young friends" of the emperor Alexander.
In the age of ten, Pierre left Russia and spent another ten years abroad, and yet, unlike Hippolyte Kuragin, he speaks Russian very well.
Pierre's ties with the freemasons do not look very trustworthy. By that time the old-fashioned rituals of freemasons were already looked upon sarcastically, their Golden Age was in mid-18th century.
The funny thing with all these (and many other) anachronisms is that even when you are aware of them, the novel remains a masterpiece. You understand the characters better, the storyline becomes straight and clear. After all, Tolstoy is still a great writer, even though his Russian style looks so awkward that many Russian readers turn to hatred. So, one of very good science fiction writers, Svyatoslav Loginov, agnrily criticizes "War and Peace" for the last fifty pages, where Tolstoy explain his philosophy of history. I agree, these final pages are unbearable (and I never read them to the end). And yet, the book is great. The battle scenes are overwhelming, the plot is absorbing, the characters are vivid and the language is unmistakably Tolstoyesque: awkward but precise.
If you ask me, the best character in the book is Kutuzov, the master of zen war, who defeated Napoleon by escaping him. Oh, and the best reason to love "War and Peace" is not in the book. She is in the movie, and you know her name: Audrey Hepburn :).
This post is heavily based on the information borrowed from the article "Historical Context in Fiction: Aristocratic Society in the Novel 'War and Peace'" by Ye. Tsimbayeva, published in the magazine «Вопросы литературы» 2004, №5. The full text is available here: "Исторический контекст в художественном образе (Дворянское общество в романе «Война и мир»)"

29 October-9 December 2014 (E04414) | Register for this course (page opens in new window)Instructor: Annabel Trapp
Armed conflicts around the world continue to expose many millions of children to inexcusable forms of violence, including abduction, rape, mutilation, forced displacement and sexual exploitation. In some contexts, children often taken on active roles in conflict, forced to participate either to carry weapons as combatants or to assume auxiliary roles. The breakdown of social protection that occurs during every armed conflict leaves all children vulnerable. Many children are threatened with separation from their families, orphaning, disability and serious, long-term psychosocial consequences; girls are especially at risk of unwanted pregnancy.
This certificate course examines the effect of armed conflict on children in the 21st century. It looks at the various ways in which children are involved in conflicts and the substantial impact that they can have on children's mental and physical well-being. The course highlights concrete actions that can be taken to contribute to the full implementation of children's rights in conflict and post-conflict contexts, including through the application of humanitarian law; and the increasing ways in which perpetrators can be held to account.
This e-learning course involves approximately 30 hours of reading, interaction with students and the instructors on discussion boards, quizzes and webinars with invited guests. The course is based on a participatory, active learning approach, with an emphasis on critical reflection and peer-to-peer learning. The maximum number of course participants is 25. Students who successfully complete the course will receive a Certificate of Participation. It is also possible to audit the course.

IRVINE — The offense is producing in bunches and the pitching is more than holding its own. But with one game left in the regular season, the UC Irvine baseball program may be on the verge of an eight-month break.
Despite an 8-4 win that clinched the three-game Big West Conference series victory against visiting Long Beach State on Friday, the Anteaters (33-21, 15-11 in conference) can finish no better than tied for third in the conference. And even in that scenario, they would lose the tiebreaker to UC Santa Barbara.
UCI Coach Mike Gillespie has said it would take a top-three finish to earn an at-large bid into the 64-team NCAA Regional field. But now, the top three would be before tiebreakers that might also include Cal State Northridge.
"We have to think there is more to play for [in Saturday's series finale at 1 p.m.] than just pride," Gillespie said. "We'll just play and see what happens."
UCSB's win over UC Davis on Friday made the Gauchos 16-10 in conference, one game behind Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and one game ahead of UCI and Northridge, which has lost two straight to first-place Cal State Fullerton.
UCI won two of three against Northridge, which, like UCI, lost two of three to UCSB in conference play. So, if there is a three-way tie, UCSB would be considered the No. 3 team, UCI No. 4 and Northridge No. 5. UCI could still be selected for postseason play ahead of UCSB. But the Gauchos entered this week with a Ratings Percentage Index of 59, seven spots ahead of UCI. Northridge's RPI is 89.
"We would not be liking life, but maybe our guy on the [NCAA baseball selection committee, Big West Commissioner Dennis Farrell, who is the vice chair] will fight hard to win the battle," Gillespie said.
The battle for a third Big West postseason berth, behind Fullerton and Cal Poly, might be fought on behalf of UCSB.
At any rate, the 'Eaters are handling their own business against the Dirtbags (28-27, 14-12), who entered the series on a five-game winning streak.
UCI, which had lost five straight before a 10-4 triumph on Friday, built a 7-0 lead through six innings on Friday in support of junior starting pitcher Matt Whitehouse.
Whitehouse allowed four runs, three earned, before exiting with one out in the seventh. He allowed eight hits, struck out five and did not issue a walk to improve to 5-6.
Sophomore third baseman Taylor Sparks got things going for the hosts, launching a towering home run over the trees beyond the left-field fence to lead off the second inning. It was the 10th homer of the season for Sparks, who with 13 in his career is more than halfway to the school career record of 25 set by Francis Larson. Sparks needs one more run batted in to reach 50 this season.
For the second straight night, sophomore shortstop Chris Rabago had three hits. His windfall included a triple, three runs batted in, and a stolen base. He is six for nine with five RBIs and three extra-base hits against Long Beach State pitching this season.
Dominique Taylor, Sparks and Ronnie Shaeffer had two hits apiece, while both Jeff Stephens and Scott Gottschling each had two RBIs and one hit for the winners.
UCI now has 28 hits and 18 runs against the Dirtbags.
Jimmy Litchfield pitched 2 2/3 innings of scoreless relief for UCI, which will start junior right-hander Andrew Morales, who is 10-0, on Saturday.

Hello admins and mods,
Sorry to bother you, but I was going looking at the "Categories & Prizes" from CCC 7 in the events section and when my page loaded, the images didn't. It showed a little page being torn in half (you know what I'm talking about) next to the descriptions. I've tried viewing this on three different computers now, and I can easily view other C&P from other CCCs, but not the most recent.
Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me?

Alright, I try now to make a beowulf with double-PII-300Mhz 64Mb-Ram for slaves. I think I installed everything OK with a HD, the output on the slave is : System boot phase 3..

Buckner president Reyes to speak at McCoy lecture series
PLAINVIEW – Dr. Albert Reyes, president of Buckner Children and Family Services of Dallas, will be the keynote speaker for the McCoy Lecture Series at Wayland Baptist University on Wednesday, April 11.
Reyes will speak first at the weekly chapel service at 11 a.m. in Hutcherson Center, which is open to the public. He will also speak to several religion classes at Wayland that afternoon and again that evening at First Baptist Church in Plainview at 6 p.m. The public is also welcome to attend that service.
A ministry of Buckner International, Buckner Children and Family Services is a globally oriented ministry to children in need that provides a global humanitarian aid program, volunteer missions opportunities, community enrichment and prevention programs, an international network of residential, foster care and transitional housing services, domestic and international adoption, and support programs for children living in orphanages in other countries.
Reyes has led the organization since January 2007, coming to Buckner from the presidency of Baptist University of the Americas in San Antonio, a theological school aimed primarily at preparing Hispanic residents for ministry. BUA experienced a 400 percent increase in enrollment since Reyes took over as president more than seven years ago, and he guided the university to launch a multi-million dollar fund-raising campaign, setting the stage for construction of a new campus on 78 acres near its current location in San Antonio. Under Reyes, the school's annual operating budget increased from $700,000 to more than $3.2 million.
Reyes previously served as manager of the National Customer Service Center for Sprint and as pastor of three churches. He has been involved in numerous roles with the Baptist General Convention of Texas, serving as its president in 2005.
He earned a bachelor's degree from Angelo State University and master's and doctoral degrees from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is a candidate for the doctor of philosophy degree from Andrews University.
He is a member of the Asociación para la Educación Teológia Hispana, the Board of Trustees of Baptist Theological Seminary of Richmond (Va.), the Board of Trustees of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference and the Board of Advocates for the Baylor University School of Social Work. He and wife Belinda have three children.
The McCoy Lecture Series was developed by First Baptist Church with an estate gift from the late Dr. Dorothy McCoy, distinguished professor emeritus in mathematics at Wayland and a longtime member of First Baptist Church, Plainview. McCoy had a long love for missions, and she served six months in Malawi, Africa, after her retirement from Wayland, later traveling to Indonesia for short-term mission work. She also hosted a missions emphasis gathering for Wayland students and others through the church for many years. McCoy died in November 2001.
The lecture seeks to honor McCoy's passion for missions and sharing the Gospel.

In January 2010, a Novell Business Continuity Clustering (BCC) 1.2.1 patch for Novell Open Enterprise Server (OES) 2 SP2 Linux is available in the OES 2 SP2 Linux patch channel. This patch is necessary to run BCC on OES 2 SP2 Linux.
BCC administrators can use a rolling update approach to download and install the BCC 1.2.1 patch for each node in every peer cluster in the business continuity cluster. The BCC patch can be installed on a fully patched OES 2 SP2 Linux cluster, or it can be installed when the OES 2 SP2 Linux patches are applied in the cluster.

Set in World War II, Furious 4 is a brutal first person shooter that offers an exciting campaign mode playable with up to four players in co-op, as well as an extensive competitive multiplayer mode.
The story follows four fierce and fearless warriors chasing the Führer himself. As one of the Furious 4, players will use special weaponry and unexpected combat abilities to fight the greatest threat the world has ever faced: an experimental Nazi army conceived in secret by the Third Reich.
Much like Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, the titular Furious 4 of this fourth Brothers in Arms installment are killin' some Nazis. We got a glimpse of the series' new over-the-top direction at this year's E3 Expo -- and we dig it. Read More »
We didn't see this one coming. There is another Brothers in Arms game on the way, developer Gearbox Software announced at publisher Ubisoft's E3 2011 press conference today, and it will be an over-the-top, Inglorious Basterds-infused BiA unlike any we've ever seen. Read More »

Mexico's gun traffic
SECRETARY OF STATE Hillary Rodham Clinton caused a stir last week by suggesting that Mexico's drug-trafficking gangs were beginning to resemble an insurgency, like that which has plagued Colombia. She's right in the sense that the cartels have come to effectively control parts of the country, where they "attempt to replace the state," as Mexican President Felipe Calderón put it last month. Like most insurgencies, the Mexican drug armies also have an external source of funding and weapons. Shamefully, that is the United States.
A new report details the abundance of U.S. weapons delivered to the cartels -- and the inadequacy of U.S. efforts to stop the illegal trafficking. According to authors Colby Goodman and Michel Marizco, at least 62,800 of the more than 80,000 firearms confiscated by Mexican authorities from December 2006 to February 2010 came from the United States. Guns are being smuggled across the border at a rate of up to 5,000 per year. The top two varieties are assault rifles: Romanian-made AK47s and clones of the Bushmaster AR-15.
The traffickers have used these weapons to inflict appalling casualties on Mexican police and other security forces, which frequently find themselves badly outgunned. More than 2,000 police and federal agents are among the 28,000 killed in drug-related violence in the past four years. According to Mr. Goodman and Mr. Marizco, whose work was sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson Center and the University of San Diego, just one gun store in Houston supplied 339 assault weapons, rifles and pistols to cartel buyers in just 15 months -- which were responsible for the deaths of 18 Mexican law enforcement officers and civilians.
Some 7,000 gun stores operate along the U.S.-Mexican border. Most are not required to notify authorities even if an individual buys dozens of assault weapons in a short period. In fiscal 2009 U.S. agents revoked the licenses of just 11 stores for violations. Once the guns are purchased -- usually by "straw" buyers acting on behalf of cartel middlemen -- they are easily trafficked across the border.
The Obama administration and Mr. Calderón's government have stepped up programs to combat the trafficking; for example, Mexican officials have been supplied with a U.S. database system that allows them to more quickly trace captured guns and report the information to Treasury's Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives bureau.
Yet like the broader U.S. effort to assist Mexico's fateful battle against the cartels, the resources being applied to stopping the gun traffic are paltry compared to the threat. Despite an eloquent appeal by Mr. Calderón during an address to Congress last spring, neither the Democratic leadership nor President Obama has dared to push for a reinstatement of the ban on sales of assault weapons.
On Thursday Mr. Obama quibbled with Ms. Clinton's comparison of Mexico to Colombia. Yet whatever the differences between the two countries, the fact remains that Mexico -- a country of indisputable strategic importance to the United States -- is in a desperate fight to preserve its civil order and its liberal democracy. That the United States should be the source of so many of the weapons being used to attack that order is scandalous and unacceptable. Mr. Obama should make stopping the weapons traffic one of his national security priorities.

SOCHI, Russia -- The International Ice Hockey Federation has issued a statement clarifying the ruling on Russia's disallowed goal in the third period of a preliminary-round game against the U.S. on Saturday.
Russian officials and players disputed the call on the play, which would have given Russia a 3-2 lead late in the third period. The game went to a shootout, which was won by the U.S. in eight rounds.
According to the IIHF, the net had been knocked off its moorings before Fyodor Tyutin's shot went into the net and the play was properly reviewed. The IIHF also said the ruling made by referees Brad Meier and Markus Vinnerborg to disallow the goal was the correct decision.
Here's the text of the IIHF statement.
The U.S. (2-0) will finish preliminary-round play on Sunday against Slovenia. Ryan Miller of the Buffalo Sabres will start in goal in place of the Kings' Jonathan Quick, who has played back-to-back games. Quick will get the day off, and Detroit's Jimmy Howard will be the backup.
For Kings fans, that means no Quick-Anze Kopitar matchup.
Team USA was scheduled to make one more lineup change. Forward Derek Stepan of the New York Rangers was added to the lineup and Montreal's Max Pacioretty was scratched.
Slovenia (1-1) lost defenseman Sabahudin Kovacevic to a one-game suspension imposed by the IIHF for his elbow to the head of Slovakia forward Tomas Kopecky on Saturday. Kopecky, who plays for the NHL's Florida Panthers, didn't return to that game.

NMT CS Team Wins Programming Honors, March 13, 2000

Left to right: (bottom row) Jeffrey Eliasen; Nicholas Pattengale; Zachary Bradshaw; Philip Griego; Thomee Wright; and Alan Aspinwall; (top row) Peter Agnew; Daniel Driscoll; and Benjamin Leiting.

DURANGO, Colo, March 13, 2000. -- A team comprised of three New Mexico Tech seniors majoring in computer science correctly solved six out of seven problems with computer programs written on the spot, taking top honors at the recently held Sixteenth Annual Fort Lewis College Computer Programming Contest in Durango, Colo.
New Mexico Tech fielded four teams in the computing competition, and all of them fared well. But it was the team of Alan Aspinwall, Zachary Bradshaw, and Philip Griego which outpaced and outprogrammed ten other participating teams to be awarded first-place honors at this year's event.
"New Mexico Tech started participating in this regional programming contest in 1986 or 1987," said Laszlo Szuecs, professor of computer science at Fort Lewis College and coordinator of the undergraduate programming meet.
"And, the teams from New Mexico Tech have always pumped a lot of life into the contest," he added.
Solving the problems posed at the programming contest required using computer programs which the students developed "on-site" with the programming languages Java and C/C++.
Some of the problems included writing programs that kept track of train cars on a switching network as cars are added and removed and writing programs that took proper fractions and turned them into "Egyptian fractions," which are the sums of several unique fractions that each have a numerator of one.
Another New Mexico Tech team composed of seniors Jeffrey K. Eliasen, Benjamin Sittler, and Thomee Wright placed third overall by solving four out of seven problems.
New Mexico Tech juniors Peter Agnew, Daniel Driscoll, and Robert Erbes solved three out of seven problems and ended up in sixth place.
The remaining Tech programming team, comprised of juniors Jonathan Bradley, Benjamin Leiting, and Nicholas Pattengale, solved two problems and garnered eighth in the undergraduate competition.
Faculty advisor for all four of New Mexico Tech's programming teams was Allan M. Stavely, associate professor of computer science with Tech's computer science department.

The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport board on Thursday cleared the way for development of a multimillion-dollar access road project.
The board, including the commissioners of Lackawanna and Luzerne counties, formally released 16.5 acres of land for the state Department of Transportation to build an access road that will extend from Interstate 81 through the airport property, overpass the Pennsylvania Turnpike and connect to the Grimes Industrial Park in Pittston Township.
"This is a big deal," Lackawanna County Commissioner Corey O'Brien said. "It opens up the west end of the airport for future economic development projects.
Thirteen acres of the land will be used for the access road and the remaining 3.5 acres will be used for reconstruction of the of the airport exit along Interstate 81 in Dupont. The project will combine the Avoca and airport exits into one and move traffic through a series of roundabouts.
Work on the $50 million project is scheduled to start in June and be completed in November 2015, said James May, spokesman for the regional PennDOT district office.
PennDOT will pay the airport $121,000 for the property easement for the 3.5 acres needed for reconstruction the highway interchange, airport director Barry Centini said.
The work will open up about 95 acres of airport property for economic development, O'Brien said.
"This is a great opportunity," he said. "It puts us in a more competitive position than we were in the past."
In other business, passenger enplanements in March totaled 18,048, down 5 percent from the year-earlier period, said Michael Conner, assistant airport director. He cited the losses of a daily Delta Air Lines flight to Detroit and a United Airlines flight to Newark, N.J., for the year-over-year decline.
Airport officials today also held a ceremony opening the facility's new south aviation apron. The concrete strip will add 300 feet of taxi lane connecting to the general aviation apron and a main airport taxiway. Airport officials said it will allow for the addition of 60,000 square feet of hangar space.
The $6.4 million expansion was funded mostly by the Federal Aviation Administration.

Hammer fitting to CBI Wood Shredder no installation slot, blank
The TUB and horizontal Grinder wear parts from JYF Machinery have the following features:
Tungsten carbide particle:
The grounded raw material is durable and wear resistant by using double-grain structure tungsten carbide, which is substantially stronger than traditional coarse-grained cemented carbide. The double-grain structure carbide has a maximum hardness as high as 90-93 HRA. and a maximum impact toughness of more than 2800 MPA. This represents a performance improvement of between 25%-33%, which means our customers pay less for accessories for our grinders due to the significantly longer running times of our machines.
Wear resistant surfacing layer:
The wear resistant surfacing layer comprises of a tailor-made Cr-W compound with a maximum hardness property as high as 55-60 HRC. This kind of welding stick features great abrasion performance and impact resistance, and is designed for bead weld of cemented carbide particles and assures that the hard surface has long operating life due to the protection of the cemented carbide particle integration.
Steel body:
The steel body is forged with a special wear-resistant alloy steel, which has exceptional strength and toughness, a higher fatigue limit, the ability to withstand impact after quenching and tempering, and maximum hardness of 42-55 HRC. These characteristics protect the tub grinder and strengthen the protection of the tungsten carbide to extend the life cycle of our grinders and their wear parts.

OAK CREEK, Wisconsin (CNN) -- Two young children have emerged as heroes after warning others of a gunman on a rampage at their Sikh house of worship in suburban Milwaukee.
Abhay Singh, 11, and his sister, Amanat, 9, were sitting outside the gurdwara Sunday morning when the shooter, identified as Wade Michael Page, first opened fire on two people.
"We ran as fast as we could inside to warn everybody in the kitchen and everybody else there is a man outside with a gun," Abhay -- whose name means "fearless" -- told CNN's "AC360" on Wednesday. "We were a little bit scared."
The children said they hid with others in a pantry after sounding the alarm.
Their mother, Kanwal Singh, and father had told them to stay inside while they went to a store to get supplies for a meal at the gurdwara. But the children said the inside was hot.
The horrified parents could not immediately reach the children.
"We were worried and praying like hopefully we will see them again," KanwalSingh said.
The FBI, meanwhile, said Wednesday that Page died from a self-inflicted wound to the head and not from a shot fired by a responding officer.
Police previously said Page died after being shot by the officer. That shot in the stomach was potentially fatal, but Page died from the self-inflicted wound, said Teresa Carlson, special agent in charge for the FBI in Milwaukee.
Carlson revealed few other details about the investigation of Sunday's shooting in Oak Creek. Six people were killed.
She said that no clear motive has been established and that Misty Cook, Page's former girlfriend who was arrested Sunday on an unrelated weapons charge, is probably not linked to the shooting.
"We do not believe she had anything to do with it," Carlson said.
After authorities went to Cook's home to interview her, she was charged with possessing a gun, which is illegal because she is a felon.
Page, a 40-year-old Army veteran who neighbors say played in a so-called hate-rock band, was the lone gunman, Carlson said.
Police have not found any notes or other clues as to why Page went on a killing spree at the Oak Creek temple, and his family members have not reported observing warning signs.
"This is a guy who moved around a lot," Carlson said. "We are zeroing in on any possible motives, but right now, we don't have one."
Authorities have conducted more than 100 interviews nationwide with people including Page's family members, associates and neighbors, she said. They also are reviewing his e-mails and other electronic records.
The investigation continued as a community reeled from the carnage.
For a fourth consecutive night, mourners held vigils Wednesday to remember the dead and pray for the wounded.
One gathering was held near the White House. Many of the estimated 200 or so people wore ribbons colored orange and blue to symbolize the identity of the Sikh community. Many wrote notes on a sign that had the names of the victims and read "United Against Hate." The sign will be sent to the Wisconsin temple.
Authorities received tips that Page might have links to the white supremacist movement, but nothing has been confirmed, according to Oak Creek Police Chief John Edwards and the FBI.
Officials said that the 9 mm semiautomatic handgun with multiple ammunition magazines used by the attacker had been legally purchased.
According to a man who described himself as Page's old Army buddy, the attacker talked about "racial holy war" when they served together in the 1990s. Christopher Robillard of Oregon, who said he lost contact with Page more than a decade ago, added that when Page would rant, "it would be about mostly any non-white person."
Page, born on Veterans Day in 1971, joined the Army in 1992 and left the service in 1998, according to Army spokesman George Wright.
Page's service was marked by "patterns of misconduct," and he received a general discharge because of "discreditable incidents," according to a Pentagon official. Robillard said Page was pushed out for showing up to formation drunk.
An Iowa-based trucking company, which employed Page from April 2006 to August 2010, said it fired him as a driver for violating company policy regarding impaired driving, which also applied to personal vehicles.
Barr-Nunn Transportation, in a statement Monday, said Page was dismissed after he received an impaired-driving citation in North Carolina while driving a personal vehicle on his own time. "Additional documentation indicates he refused to submit to a chemical analysis to determine alcohol concentration or presence of an impairing substance at the time of the citation," the company said.
Page lived in Fayetteville, North Carolina, for several years. He owned a modest house on a country road, but he ran into financial trouble and the home was foreclosed on, according to Wells Fargo bank.
John Tew, manager of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle store in Fayetteville, told CNN he fired Page from his parts coordinator job in 2004 because Page "had a big problem with authority" and with working with women. Tew said he found an application for the Ku Klux Klan on Page's desk the day he was dismissed.
Two neighbors of Page identified him in photos that showed him playing in the far-right punk band "End Apathy" with Nazi flags hanging near him.
The six victims of Sunday's attack were identified by police as five men -- Sita Singh, 41; Ranjit Singh, 49; temple president Satwant Singh Kaleka, 65; Prakash Singh, 39, and Suveg Singh, 84 -- and one woman, 41-year-old Paramjit Kaur.
CNN's Moni Basu, Brian Todd, Ted Rowlands, Carol Cratty, Mike Mount, Ed Payne, Scott Bronstein, Tom Cohen, Shawn Nottingham, Susan Candiotti, Deborah Feyerick, Phil Gast and Ben Brumfield contributed to this report.

Glasses of milk were raised in toast to a month that celebrates dairymen who get ice cream, cheese, yogurt and other dairy food favorites from farm to plate. "Kansas dairymen are dedicated to innovation and adding economic value to their communities and our state," said Governor Brownback. "The growth of the dairy industry means more wholesome dairy products for families in Kansas and throughout the region." The dairy industry in Kansas is experiencing continuous growth, expanding at the fastest rate in the nation in 2013. The industry adds economic value to the state through jobs and the more than $592 million value of milk produced annually. There are more than 300 Kansas farm families who take great care of their animals to provide wholesome, nutritious dairy products. Kansas dairies produce more than 336 million gallons of milk, annually. The high teams in two Kansas FFA Career Development Events (CDE) were in attendance to kick off Kansas Dairy Month. Competing this fall in the National FFA Milk Quality and Products CDE will be the Anderson County FFA Chapter. Team members are Alexis Pedrow, Melissa Kropf, Adam Kropf and Bailey Wolken. This CDE assists students in developing team decision-making skills with a focus on promoting practical learning activities in milk quality and dairy products. The Anderson County FFA advisor is Jeff Gillespie. Buhler FFA was the high team in the Kansas FFA Dairy Cattle Evaluation and Management CDE. The team, whose members are Kelli Schrag, Lacy Pitts, Jason Klamm and Alexis Branscom will be competing in at the national level in the fall. This CDE emphasizes skills in dairy cattle management and evaluation in order to prepare agriculture education students for industry positions or management of a modern dairy herd.

Allan: what are you trying to trade me for my metal detector.
Me: I wonder if I have some sort of virus because I have no idea why my emails are coming across so screwy. Are you interested in egyptian artifacts?
Allan: what types of artifacts it sounds interesting.
Me: They are quite interesting my friend. Not many people have laid eyes on them – but I have quite a surplus and would be willing to trade a few for your metal detector. I am hoping to use your device to find further treasures.
Allan: can you send me some pictures
Me: of me?
Allan: of the artifacts of course
Me: oh of course! haha sorry, I'm feeling quite scatter-brained today. I'll have to dig up some pictures – in the mean time, what is the best thing you've found with your metal detector? Any ancienct artifacts of the occult?
Allan: no just some old silver coins and a few metal tools.

Apparently Allan's device doesn't just detect metal.

Physicians at Baptist may use minimally invasive techniques to treat coronary artery disease (CHD). CHD is the build up of fatty deposits in the lining of the walls of blood vessels that supply the heart with blood. If left untreated, the deposits may cause a narrowing of the vessel's interior that eventually may cause a blockage. When blood flow to the heart stops, a heart attack (myocardial infarction), chest pain (angina pectoris) or even death occurs.
To make sure that the heart receives an adequate blood supply, physicians may take a blood vessel from another area of the body, and graft it into the heart above and below the blocked area. This re-routes or bypasses the blood around the diseased vessel. In this procedure, physicians make a series of tiny incisions-called ports-through which they place specialized surgical equipment that allows them to see the surgical field as well as make repairs. The procedure may be done with or without a heart/lung machine, depending on the severity of disease.
In many cases, physicians will choose a section of the saphenous vein-a vessel that runs the length of the leg-to graft around a blocked coronary artery. Physicians at Baptist can use minimally invasive technology to acquire the vein rather than making a long incision in the patient's leg to access it.
Patients with CHD may also suffer from an irregular heart beat (atrial fibrillation). This inefficient pumping of the heart may cause blood to pool in the heart's chambers. If left untreated, blood clots may form that could lead to a stroke. Physicians at Baptist may use minimally invasive technology-in conjunction with CABG-to treat atrial fibrillation.
For certain minimally invasive heart procedures, physicians may use the da Vinci™ Surgical System. The system is robotic technology that provides the surgeon with a 3-D image of the surgical field with 10x magnification. The surgeon uses master controls to robotic surgical instruments inside the patient that convey the surgeon's hand, wrist and finger movements into precise, real-time movements. The system scales down the movements of the surgeon's hands into what amounts to microsurgery, allowing the performance of technically demanding procedures with great precision.

Alex Yaker is one of those way-busy Philadelphia musicians. Most recently, you've probably seen him rock his bass-playing swagger in Summer Fiction. In the past he's performed with Grammar Debate, The Yaker Bros and done a bit of production with Surreal Sound Studios. With everything going on, it's not unsurprising that his own project, Roomtone, only makes periodic appearances, but whenever it emerges, it's worth the wait. This weekend, the band Yaker also refers to as "The Official Indie BossaNova Goosebump Machine" plays its first show in over a year and a half at Johnny Brenda's, and best of all, they've got new material in tow. Snag a download below in this week's Philly Local Phile, the buoyant new "Your Golden Crown." Roomtone plays Sun. Feb. 12 at Johnny Brenda's with Honeychurch and The Explorers Club. Tickets to the 21+ show are $10.

Pistons-Hawks Preview
Coming off a narrow loss against the Western Conference's best team, the Atlanta Hawks now head home for a matchup that's yielded far better results over the last six seasons.
With Monday's two-point defeat at Oklahoma City settled in, the Hawks return to the court Wednesday night seeking their 11th straight home win over the Detroit Pistons.
Playing without starting point guard Jeff Teague for a second straight game due to a sprained ankle, the Hawks (23-21) had a double-digit lead late in the third quarter against the surging Thunder but were unable to hold on in Monday's 111-109 loss.
"Our group really competed tonight," Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said. "I think their commitment to each other and their commitment to playing the way we want to play is excellent. Losing is very hard in this league and our guys are hurting."
Seven players reached double figures in scoring with Paul Millsap's 23 leading the way. Kevin Durant's 41 for Oklahoma City got most of the attention, but Hawks forward DeMarre Carroll was more concerned with his own team's offensive flaws down the stretch.
"I just think we really lost the game on our own," said Carroll, who scored 15 and has averaged 15.6 in his last five games. "We missed two open 3s. We got the shots that we wanted. We just missed them. We've got to learn from that but it was a hard-fought game."
Shelvin Mack made his second start in place of Teague and scored 15 points to go with seven assists and only one turnover.
Oklahoma City shot 52.4 percent from the field, but the Hawks kept the lead for nearly the entire game with a 12-of-25 night from 3-point range. Their 25-of-51 mark in the last two games has lifted their season percentage to 37.0, which ranks third in the East.
The Pistons (18-27), meanwhile, are shooting an NBA-worst 30.7 percent from long range. It's been especially bad lately with a 26.1 percent mark in their last eight games.
Detroit didn't need much from outside in Tuesday's 103-87 home win over Orlando, owning a 56-40 rebounding advantage and outscoring the Magic in the paint 44-22 to end a four-game losing streak.
"We needed it a lot. We're losing, a lot of bad things are around in the air – a lot of negative energy," guard Will Bynum said. "Just happy to get a win."
Andre Drummond led the interior game with 13 points and 17 rebounds, bouncing back from a four-point, six-rebound game Sunday at Dallas. He'd had seven straight double-doubles before matching his worst scoring night and second-worst rebounding night of the season against the Mavericks.
"I told him at shootaround that he's human," coach Maurice Cheeks said. "He's entitled to have a bad game. It's important to see how you bounce back."
Drummond could continue on the upswing against the Hawks, who are without Al Horford (torn right pectoral) for the rest of the season, while backup center Pero Antic is out with a stress fracture in his right ankle.
Brandon Jennings scored a game-high 20 points against the Magic and has been hot since being held scoreless for the second time in his career Jan. 20 against the Los Angeles Clippers. He's averaged 26.0 points in four games since.
The Hawks have won both games in the series this season, holding the Pistons to 87.0 points per game on 41.5 percent shooting.

DALLAS (AP) The Dallas Mavericks have waived forward/center Melvin Ely and forward Chris Douglas-Roberts, leaving them with still one roster move to make by Monday.
The moves Sunday came only a day after Ely and Douglas-Roberts signed non-guaranteed contracts, and before they had even practiced with the team.
That leaves Dallas with 16 players on the roster, one over the limit it has to get to a day before Tuesday night's season opener at the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Mavericks are expected to permanently part with guard Delonte West, who last week was suspended indefinitely Thursday for unspecified conduct considered detrimental to the team. It was his second suspension this month.

Back on Saturday, Sept. 22, 2012, Google News turned 10 years old. Like many other superstars who have spent too much time in the media spotlight, the news search engine needs to check itself into rehab and relook at its news settings.
Maybe then it can figure out why the number of unique visitors to Google News remained flat in the U.S. while Yahoo News has grown dramatically.
Google News was launched a decade ago with 4,000 news sources. Back then, Stephanie Olsen of CNET News interviewed Marissa Mayer, who was then the Google product manager who had developed the news search engine with five staff engineers over the previous nine months.
"This product is about innovation," Mayer said. "This development isn't about bringing all services to all people. This is about developing an interesting piece of technology."
So, what does this interesting piece of technology do?
Google News is a computer-generated news site that now aggregates headlines from more than 50,000 news sources worldwide, groups similar stories together in "clusters," and then displays them according to each reader's personalized interests. Ten years ago, this was a paradigm shift.
Traditionally, news readers first picked a publication and then looked for headlines that interested them. Google News does things very differently. It offers links to several articles on every story, so its readers can first decide what subject interests them and then select which publishers' accounts of each story they'd like to read.
Over the past 10 years, this paradigm shift has been a little unsettling to some editors, despite the fact that when Google News readers click on the headline that interests them, they go directly to the site which published that story.
But what really angered publishers was the fact that Google News found and displayed press releases by crawling selected press release distribution services, as if they were just another source of useful and timely news information.
This meant the media was being "disintermediated."
On Jan. 23, 2006, Krishna Bharat, Distinguished Scientist and Founder of Google News, announced on the Official Google Blog:
We're taking Google News out of beta! When we launched the English-language edition in September 2002, we entered untested waters with a grand experiment in news browsing – using computers to organize the world's news in real time and providing a bird's eye view of what's being reported on virtually any topic.
We've certainly gotten a lot of feedback from both readers and editors. For example, readers told us they loved the news clusters but they didn't want press releases on the home page (although they are still useful to have in the search results).
The number of unique visitors to Google News continued to climb.
Then on June 30, 2010, Google News revamped its homepage. At the same time, users were allowed to choose which news sources they'd like to see more or less often, including all blogs and all press releases.
The following day, Thomas Claburn of InformationWeek wrote an article that compared the Google News redesign to the "New Coke" flop. Claburn wrote, "Google's effort to make Google News more personally relevant to users has hit a nerve." He added, "The controversy goes beyond design choices, a perennial sore spot for Google. The most troubling issue is whether offering personalized news is a social good."
What's happened since then?
According to Compete PRO, the number of unique visitors to Google News has decreased 2% from 9.3 million in October 2010 to 9.1 million in October 2012. By comparison, the number of unique visitors to Yahoo! News has increased 62% from 38.3 million in October 2010 to more than 62.2 million in October 2012.
It's also worth noting that Yahoo! News doesn't groups similar stories together in "clusters," doesn't display them according to each reader's personalized interests, and has human editors who decide which stories go on their homepage. In fact, the same week that Mayer was named as CEO of Yahoo!, Hillary Frey was named as editor-in-chief of Yahoo! News.
That why I imagine that the team at Google News might want to check into rehab for anxiety, exhaustion and stress.
So, did the brouhaha over the Google News homepage redesign and personalization cause the news search engine's fall from grace?
Maybe, but I don't think so. YouTube has redesigned its homepage a couple of times and it now gets more than 800 million unique visitors a month worldwide.
That's why I feel there was another cause for the downfall of Google News. What is it? To paraphrase James Carville, "It's the content, stupid!"
As Google News has expanded its news sources from 4,000 a decade ago to 50,000 today, it has also contracted its definition of "news."
According to Google News (publishers) Help, there are a handful of important guidelines for getting into Google News. The first two are:
- News content. Sites included in Google News should offer timely reporting on matters that are important or interesting to our audience. We generally do not include how-to articles, advice columns, job postings, or strictly informational content such as weather forecasts and stock data.
- We mean it — stick to the news! Google News is not a marketing service. We don't want to send users to sites created primarily for promoting a product or organization.
Why would these news quality guidelines constrict the growth of Google News?
According to Google Trends, web search interest in news has been relatively flat in the United States since 2004, while web search interest in how to has almost tripled over the same period. And news search interest in how to is now four times greater than news search interest in news.
So, keeping how-to articles out of Google News could be as counter-productive as using its ability to personalize your news to delete all blogs and all press releases from the search results.
And if Google News doesn't want to send users to "sites created primarily for promoting a product or organization," then riddle me this: Why are press releases still useful to have in the search results (although Google News doesn't want them on the home page)?
The best answer to this question that I've heard came from a member of the Yahoo News team.
When Yahoo! News was upgraded back in March 2004, it started started to included selected press release distribution services, including Business Wire, CNW Group, GlobeNewswire, Marketwire, and PR Newswire, in its search results.
I asked a member of the Yahoo News team why they'd done that. He said:
In many industries, the trade press has imploded. So, if we hadn't included press releases in our results, then our users would often find no results at all when they searched for new product announcements.
So, what's the future look like?
In a recent post, "Google News turns 10," Bharat said, "It's undeniable that the online news landscape has changed immensely. Smartphones and social networks have transformed how news is accessed and sourced, and shifted the relationship between readers and authors. Open journalism is the norm, and aggregation by humans and machines is an integral part of the ecosystem."
He added, "Opportunities abound, and we are excited for where we can take this product in the next decade. While change is inevitable, one thing remains the same: our mission is to bring you the news you want, when you need it, from a diverse set of sources."
At the end of the day, I think "the news you want" is "the news you can use." And this includes how-to articles. Hopefully the diverse set of sources that Google News provides in the future will continue to include blogs and press releases.
