Given the opportunity...
Would you live forever?
Of course... Not a doubt, why wouldn't I? Since I don't believe in any form of life after death, I'd be happy to live forever.

Absolutely not - life would get boring, then it would get really boring, then it would get so boring it'd make me stressed, and it'd be no fun. The thought of existing forever in an afterlife makes me uncumfortable, I prefer to think that when we die, we just die, and that's it.
Bad speling makes me [sic]
My first inclination is to say no but it really depends on some other things. Am I staying in good physical and mental health or am I going to spend eternity in a nursing home (I'd chose hell first!)? And how about my family and friends? Are they living forever or are they dying at a normal age?
I think living forever is a great idea! Yes there would be periods of boredom, but the brain is always chucking out old memories, so I could re-read books in a 100 years and they would seem like new!
However, what if I got some permanent painful illness and couldn't die?
So, forever with an exit clause please.
"The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman
i would never live forever.
this world has too many problems and complications and hardship for a person to live in .
Live Love Life
you dont believe in life after death???
Live Love Life
I agree with Dross. Living for a very long time is fine, but I wouldn't want to live forever. No matter what you do, if you live forever then there will eventually come a time when you have done everything so many times that everything is boring. Being bored is especially boring, which compounds the problem to no end.
And if we're getting really hypothetical, then eventually the universe would either collapse in on itself and kill everything, or expand out so much that everything is very very far away from everything else and everything is also really cold and therefore lifeless (apart from maybe bacteria-type). I certainly wouldn't want to be around in either of those situations.
Fun fact: Many scientists believe that the first person that will reach an age of 200 is alive today.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.
I would live for as long as humanity existed.
"In the real world, this would be a problem. But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist. So we'll go ahead and do that now..."
But as long as you were living, you would exist, meaning humanity still existed, meaning you would keep living, meaning you would keep existing, meaning... etc.
It's a circle of perpetuality.
Why did the vector cross the road?

Hmmm, I guess 'forever' is a very unrealistic concept. By living forever I meant having your conciousness intact in one way or another forever.
I have no idea how this might work if the Big Crunch Theory is correct, and how you would be able to maintain conciousness when compressed into a singularity.
I guess you have to create a hypothetical universe where the Big Freeze Theory is correct, and that you somehow are invincible to everything including the infinite gravity of a black hole and the cold of the big freeze...
Oh, why do you have to analyse my question so thoroughly >_<
Ok, here's what.
Everytime you wander into a black-hole or get crushed by a meteorite or fall off a skyscraper or die of chocolate poisoning you respawn at a respawn point like in games!
And for the question's sake, let's say the universe's cosmology just stays exactly the same it is today forever, with a spherical shape so that it is impossible to reach the end of the universe

I do
Dreams don't come true, you gotta make them come true.
yeah who doesn't
and to answer teh question....
i wouldnt want to live forever......too much to take in and too much challenges
Raat Key Rani !
if you lived forever you would become infinitely intelligent....rrright?
Well, I don't really believe in life after death, but rather reincarnation (im not a buddhist) and the recycling of fundamental elements. I would probably volunteer to live forever.
But as long as you were living, you would exist, meaning humanity still existed, meaning you would keep living, meaning you would keep existing, meaning... etc.

Do you really consider me humanity? Wow, thanks for the complement.
Seriously though, humanity isn't one person. Humanity is the interactions of entire cultures and even across cultures between many many different people. One person will never make humanity.
"In the real world, this would be a problem. But in mathematics, we can just define a place where this problem doesn't exist. So we'll go ahead and do that now..."
Forever young......
-A song by an English female singer
yeah who doesn't
I don't...
I don't think life would get boring.

I'd be like the Highlander, an Immortal! Only death by decapitation. I'd be able to spend my time researching everything, knowing things and then being totally superior. I'd also learn how to wield a sword properly and battle against my enemy Immortals. THERE CAN ON~LY BE ONE!
Boy let me tell you what:
I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.

SYDNEY—Tens of thousands of tourists, scientists and amateur astronomers from around the world waited anxiously across tropical northern Australia on Tuesday to find out whether the clouds will part in time to see a total eclipse of the sun.
Forecasters were predicting cloudy skies around dawn Wednesday, when the moon will pass between the sun and Earth and plunge a slice of the continent's northeast into darkness. Many worried that they will miss a rare chance to view the celestial phenomenon.
"There will be breaks in (the clouds), but it's just a matter of the luck of the draw whether you get a break at the right time," said Queensland state Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Andrew Mostyn. "It's a bit of bad luck."
The eclipse will cast its 150-kilometre (95-mile) wide shadow starting at dawn in Australia's Northern Territory and then cross the northeast tip of the country before swooping east across the South Pacific, where no islands are in its direct path. A partial eclipse will be visible from east Indonesia, the eastern half of Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and southern parts of Chile and Argentina. Totality — the darkness that happens at the peak of the eclipse — will last just over two minutes.
Among those sweating out the forecast was U.S. astronomer Jay Pasachoff, who travelled to Australia in hopes of viewing his 56th solar eclipse. Pasachoff, an astronomy professor at Williams College in Massachusetts, and a team of about 50 scientists and students have fanned out across the region to improve the odds that at least some of them will see the eclipse. The group is planning to study the sun's corona, the glowing white ring around the sun that is only visible during an eclipse.
Despite the anxiety over the weather and the long journey to get there, Pasachoff said he wouldn't miss it.
"Just imagine you were a heart surgeon and someone actually told you you could look inside a human heart only for two minutes, and only if you went halfway around the world," he said. "You would do it."
Some Queensland hotels have been booked up for more than three years and more than 50,000 people have flooded into the region to watch the solar spectacle, said Jeff Gillies, regional director of Queensland Tourism.
Skygazers are planning to crowd beaches, boats, fields and hot air balloons to watch the event. Fitness fanatics will race in the Solar Eclipse Marathon, where the first rays of the sun re-emerging from behind the moon will serve as the starting gun. Some have already been partying for days at a weeklong eclipse festival.
Scientists will be studying how animals respond to the eclipse, with underwater cameras capturing the effects of sudden darkness on the creatures of the Great Barrier Reef.
"It's an unknown with how they'll react," Gillies said. "A little bit of flora and fauna confusion, I would imagine."
The last total solar eclipse visible in Australia was 10 years ago, in the South Australia Outback.

Injection Molding
Injection Molding of plastic products
rose plastic's injection molding machines have a closing force of (250 - 3500 KN) providing the capacity to inject between 1 to 700 gm. of material. rose plastic can process numerous plastic materials such as PP, PE and PS in multi-cavity molds.
An injection molding machine operates as follows:
Material in the form of plastic pellets are fed into the extruder from a hopper. The pellets are moved along by a heated screw, and melted by heat. The screw then compresses the melted plastic and injects it at high pressure through a nozzle into the mold. The melted plastic material fills the inner shape of the mold (e.g. cavity), and then forms to the shape of the cavity as the tool is cooled. After a short cooling period the tool opens and ejects the finished article.

Field trials evaluating the systemic uptake of neonicotinoid insecticides into citrus trees are in their third year of evaluation at Lindcove REC. Dr. Frank Byrne (right) and Richard Aubert (left) from the Department of Entomology (UC Riverside) are mixing up a batch of Belay insecticide to be applied to mature Parent navel orange trees. One strategy is to apply the insecticide under the tree as a soil drench and another strategy is to apply it as a trunk spray. Belay, which is not yet registered for citrus, is in the neonicotinoid class of insecticides, which are recommended insecticides for control of Asian citrus psyllid. Dr. Byrne is comparing the two methods of application to see how they affect the rate of uptake of the chemical and what level of protection from the Asian citrus psyllid is imparted to the tree.

All I need to know in Life I learned from my Hens
Wake up early, stay busy, rest when you need to, but always stay alert.
Visit your favorite places each day.
Scratch out a living. Routine is good; Plump is good.
Don't ponder your purpose in life - your brain is too small.
Accept the pecking order and know your enemies.
Weed your garden.
Protect your children fiercely-sit on them if you need to. Take them for walks, show them the little things and talk constantly.
Make a nice nest. Share it with friends.
Brag on your accomplishments.
Don't count your chicks before they hatch.
Protect your nest egg.
Test your wings once in a while.
Squawk when necessary.
As you age, demand respect.
Leave a little something for those who care about you.

Tech Observatory Researchers Star at Optics Conference, July 24, 2008
By Thomas Guengerich
SOCORRO, N.M., July 24, 2008 – New Mexico Tech took center stage at an international conference for optical engineering in Marseilles, France, in late June.
Right: from left are Carlo Flebus, Pierre Gloesener, Colby Jurgenson, Michelle Creech-Eakman and Jean-Pierre Chisogne. MRO Interferometer Project Scientist Michelle Creech-Eakman led the New Mexico Tech contingent at the SPIE conference in Marseille. In photo, she and Tech instrument specialist Colby Jurgenson visit with three representatives of AMOS, the Belgian firm that is building the telescope mounts.
Magdalena Ridge Observatory's interferometry team presented several posters and papers, including an invited talk by project scientist Michelle Creech-Eakman. The MRO team also included talks by Tech students and researchers, Cambridge scientists and the Belgian company building the telescopes.
"It's always exciting to go to these conferences," said Creech-Eakman. "We always learn a lot about what everybody else is doing. The interferometry community is rather small. There's probably no more than 250 people working in the area, so it's good to get together and build consortia."
An interferometer is an instrument that uses an array of telescopes to simulate a much larger telescope. The New Mexico Tech interferometer will use six 1.4-meter telescopes to mimic the capabilities of a telescope that is up to 340 meters in diameter. The concept was first proposed more than 100 years ago, but only in the past 20 years has the computer technology caught up with the theories. The main trick is to combine the beams collected at multiple telescopes to create a coherent and reliable image.
Stellar interferometry combines light from multiple telescopes to form "interference fringes." A complex optical system with multiple light reflections from the light-collecting surfaces to the detectors measures these fringes. Beams from the six telescopes will be combined in a 190-meter long facility that includes more than 10 kilometers of aluminum pipe, carrying the signals.
The Magdalena Ridge Observatory Interferometer, or MROI, has one main goal – producing very-high-resolution images of faint astronomical targets, Creech-Eakman said. Ultimately, the facility will produce images with resolution 100 times greater than the Hubble Space Telescope.
Magdalena Ridge Observatory facility will employ a variety of new technologies that are revolutionizing interferometry. Tech and Cambridge scientists unveiled several of their breakthroughs in late June.
The Society for Optical Engineering, known by its French acronym of SPIE, hosted more than 2,000 scientists at the conference "Astronomical Instrumentation: Synergies between Ground and Space" from June 23 to 28. The MRO crew participated in the sub-conference on Optical and Infrared Interferometry.
Creech-Eakman presented an updated on the Magdalena Ridge Observatory Interferometer called "Progress Towards First Light."
"It's like a stake in the ground," she said. "It's an opportunity for us to give updates and show our progress."
Several other Tech students, researchers and faculty members attended the conference to present talks and posters. Instrumentation specialist Dr. Colby Jurgenson spoke about the development of the fringe tracking beam combiner and spectrographs.
Alisa Shtromberg shows off her poster to her Cambridge colleagues (from left) John Young, Chris Haniff and David Buscher.
Alisa Shtromberg presented her work on designing an automated alignment system. Dr. Eric Bakker presented a poster on cost-estimates for large-scale projects. Block presented her work on custom coatings for optics on the fringe tracker. Fernando Santoro, who was unable to attend, presented a poster on the mechanical and optical design of the interferometer. Electrical engineering professor Dr. Anders Jorgensen gave a talk and presented a poster on fringe-tracking algorithms.
Jurgenson came to New Mexico Tech as a post-doctoral researcher and is now a permanent staff member at the interferometer as the instrument scientist. He presented a talk about a new instrument he is designing to combine light beams from the telescopes.
"We are designing and building this instrument in-house," Jurgenson said. "It will go on the back end of the interferometer."
Creech-Eakman said Jurgenson's instrument is at the heart of the interferometer.
"If we didn't have to contend with the atmosphere, the process would be straight-forward. We'd lock in on an object and we'd be done," she said. "But the atmosphere distorts the light, so we have to move the delay lines to catch up with the distortions. Colby's fringe-tracker has to move fast to catch up."
He was especially pleased to hear scientists from other interferometry observatories show interest in his development.
"Certain parties were interested in applying what we're doing on their projects," he said. "That's the best sort of feedback."
Shtromberg, who is an interferometer lab technician, presented her research for an automated alignment system. The 2005 Tech graduate has designed a system of mirrors that is intended to eliminate optical errors.
"It's a very tough problem to fix," she said. "No one has been able to achieve it in an automated sense before now. Previous interferometers had not even planned for an alignment system before construction. We have the advantage of integrating into the system as we build it."
Shtromberg's presentation represented the official international unveiling of her design.
"There was a lot of interest," she said. "There are a few people who will be keeping an eye on me and how I progress … so no pressure."
Shtromberg apparently has enjoyed her work with the MRO. She is beginning a master's program at Tech in August in physics with an emphasis in instrumentation.
Erica Block and Colby Jurgenson stop for a photo at Block's poster she presented at the SPIE conference in Marseilles.
Erica Block is a rising senior in the physics department who is on the interferometer staff. She presented a poster explaining her research to develop three different custom coatings for the optics – one for the interferometer and two for the beam-splitters.
Block developed a 14-layer coating composed of strontium titanate, niobium oxide and magnesium flouride. She developed two other coatings for the beam-splitters, one of eight layers and one of nine layers.
"We want to minimize the number of layers because … if you apply too many coatings, the substrate tends to bend and gives you distortion," Block said. "But we also want to maximize the performance of the coatings."
She said the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Numerous people were impressed with the performance of Block's coatings, including an Italian group that expressed interest in purchasing her design.
Overall, Creech-Eakman felt that the breadth and detail of the work happening in Socorro shows the pioneering nature of the Magdalena Ridge Observatory.
"When you look at all our sub-projects, our interferometer seems unique compared to others," Creech-Eakman said. "It always makes you feel good when people are interested in your design, but it also shows how important it is for the pieces to fit together."
The interferometer atop Magdalena Ridge is expected to see first light – or, in this case, "first fringes" – in late 2009 or early 2010. Tech and builders Advanced Mechanical and Optical Systems, or AMOS, of Liège, Belgium, are finalizing the contract to complete the first phase of the telescopes.
Dr. Eric Bakker, interferometer project manager, said the SPIE conference is "the big one."
"It's a great place to hear the latest information about what's going on around the world," Bakker said.
He gave two presentations – one a history of the MRO and the other a glimpse into the future of astronomy instrumentation.
"The next generation will be a kilometer-based interferometer," he said. "Our telescopes are 1.4 meters. The next generation will be 4 to 8 meters."
Bakker presented a cost-study, estimating that the next configuration will more closely resemble the VLA, is about 20 years away and will cost $2.5 billion.
"These are expensive toys," he said.
Bakker predicts that the current advances in telescope optics involve building mirrors that are 30 to 40 meters wide. Bakker said there are three projects underway to build these large scopes. That represents the practical limit of single-mirror telescopes, he said.
"Those are all billion dollar projects," he said. "Once they have first light about 10 years from now in 2017, then the astronomy community will push for the next step, which will be a kilometer-based interferometer."
Dave Buscher, a Cambridge scientist, presented two talks – "Polarization fidelity in an optical interferometer" and "Fringe-tracking and spatial filtering: phase jumps and dropouts."
Chris Haniff, a Cambridge scientist working in Socorro, spoke on "The long-stroke MROI vacuum delay lines from concept to production."
Fabien Baron of Cambridge talked about "A high-sensitivity near-infrared science combiner for MROI" and presented a poster titled "Image reconstruction at Cambridge University."
Martin Fisher of Cambridge spoke about "Innovative mechatronics for the MROI delay lines."
Currently only eight operating optical/infrared interferometers exist in the world, with only three facilities using large apertures and having dedicated science missions. The Magdalena Ridge Observatory will be the fourth "facility-class" interferometer, Creech-Eakman said, but is the only one committed to a model-independent imaging program.
"Most interferometers weren't built with such a systems approach," Creech-Eakman said. "Chris Haniff and Dave Buscher – our system architects – have taken an overall systems approach from the beginning. It's like we're putting together a puzzle that fits together very nicely."
Haniff and Buscher, both of Cambridge, are like orchestra conductors bringing together an incredibly complex project.
"They've paid attention to every minute detail," Creech-Eakman said. "It's exciting to see it all come together."

CARBONDALE, Ill. – In day two of track and field competition at the Saluki Booster, Lipscomb's sprinters put together strong performances, building on Friday's successes.
Three Lipscomb hurdles advanced to the finals of the 60m event. Junior Ryan Whitley (8.86s, ninth) finished just ahead of senior Dillon Seigenthaler (8.95s, 10th) and freshman Andrew Wolf (9.10s, 11th) and broke Seigenthaler's previous school record of 8.89s in the process.
Sophomore Tucker Peabody (22.13s in the 200m dash) and freshman Colin Dempster (50.19s in the 400m) posted runner-up finishes in their respective events.
"I was happy with the way Tucker and Colin competed today," said Lipscomb assistant coach Luke Syverson. "Colin got a good taste of 400m indoor strategy; after getting boxed in twice, he still almost pulled off the win."
Junior Sara Stephens (1:00.32s) and freshman Brenna Thompson (1:00.53s) finished 12th and 13th, respectively, in women's 400m action.
"SIU's track is very tight 200m course," Syverson said. "Times were a little slower than we hoped. For some runners, our youth got to us and let these slower times affect us a little too much in other events.
"Our women's sprinters, (Sara, Brenna and Valerie Winkler) continue to compete well and get better at racing."
Continuing from yesterday's field events, junior Logan Ray finished fourth in the triple jump with a 14.03m (46' 0.50") mark and classmate Adam Austin set a season-best in the high jump at 1.93m (6' 4").
Freshman Houston Ward set a personal-best in the shot put, finishing 16th with a 13.26m (43' 6") toss.
"It was good to see Houston get a personal-best in the shot put," Syverson said. "He's continuing to improve. It was also good to see Adam Austin break out of a little funk he's been in mentally in the high jump.
The Lipscomb track and field teams will take next weekend off before returning with a full squad at the Niswonger Invitational, Jan. 27-28, in Johnson City, Tenn.
"Having two weeks until our next meet is very beneficial," said Lipscomb head coach Bill Taylor. "There is a lot of work to do and I expect big things at the Niswonger."

You have your view of Muskrat Falls, now I'd like to tell you my point of view as a Labrador Inuk woman, and a stakeholder who lives below this hydrodam.
As you go about your day in Newfoundland and Labrador, I ask you one question: do you think about Muskrat Falls? Well, I can tell you it is constantly a grey rainy cloud over my head.
I miss the peace I took for granted before Muskrat Falls. I miss just worrying about the day-to-day things that everyday life brought me, like what to cook for supper, how to pay the bills, and like when my hair wasn't just right. Now it's, like, never mind the hair, I got bigger problems, baby!
Read the entire series here
First, trying to hold Nalcor and the provincial government accountable (in my opinion, the two are synonymous). Secondly, the threat of the North Spur and methylmercury poisoning. Oh yeah, lastly, don't forget the hydro bills tripling in 2019!
I can say now, processing the thought of having been in prison is the least of my problems. Continuing to fight a government and its corporation takes its toll. I am tired, as I'm sure the Mud Lake flood victims are.
What can I say to you about Muskrat Falls that's not already been said? What would inspire you to fight against this powerful corporation called Nalcor?
So many live in fear, not only of the hydrodam, but also in fear of speaking out, because I believe there is a fear of getting reprimanded for it, like many have before.
I do not want to live in fear, but at the same time I do not want to go through that Muskrat Falls gate alone. Why should I, when no one else seems to care or lives in fear? God knows, I've tried my best. Can you say that? I am not trying to make you feel guilty, I am just battling with my own demons.
I've never had a constant uneasiness before Muskrat. I wonder and hope the North Spur keeps hold.
I wish my parents were still alive, for some advice. How I need to hear it.
What happened to honour, integrity and keeping your word? I guess they were traded in for a few measly bucks, that will cost lives or perhaps babies with deformities. Are there only a few of us left with those values that brought us here today? I know of 50 of those individuals who broke into the Muskrat Falls gate in 2016.
The news has a funny way of reporting Muskrat Falls, like it's just an everyday occurrance with no real impact, so that people are kept at arm's length and don't know the real story of such pain and sorrow.
Premier Dwight Ball seemed to try to influence the flow of information about his daughter's innocent role after her former boyfriend was charged and convicted in a murder case. When I heard this, I was not surprised, but I asked myself this question: why hasn't he tried to use his influence to assist the Labrador Land Protectors and I in this fight against Nalcor?
I will leave you with this question: do you want corporations running government? News flash — it's already happening.

Liquid Liquid | 15/04/08
On a mission to pull out from the grasps of muso name droppers and the limbo of mythical obscurity; Domino is thrilled to announce the release of 'Slip In And Out of Phenomenon' on May 19th.
A collection of Liquid Liquid's legendary 3 EPS - originally released back in the early 80s, pressed in very limited quantities on 99 Records - and including 10 previously unreleased bonus tracks and live recordings.
You're probably aware of this groundbreaking New York No Wave outfit without even knowing it. Their seminal track 'Cavern' from the Optimo EP includes one of the all-time classic bass lines which was sampled on Melle Mel's 'White Lines (Don't Do It)' and became one of early hip-hop's biggest hits. Liquid Liquid's Avant Garde spirit, echoing vocals and tribal beats have seeped into the sounds of Animal Collective and LCD Soundsystem amongst others and one of the UK's hippest clubs, Glasgow's Optimo is named after track 13 of this CD.
The sound of a long, hot summer night; 'Slip In And Out of Phenomenon' is a hypnotic, humid racket of funk, dub reggae, minimalist funk. Refreshing, enlightening and essential, you can pre-order it now for only £8.99 on CD and a very special triple vinyl packaging for £12.99.

Although a complete stranger, I would like to apologize to John Lorenzen. It seems not everyone who works in customer service has what it takes to be superior within their job description. This is not acceptable for those of us who choose customer relations as a career choice, nor acceptable to dehumanize another individual for any reason. Many of us take pride forming trust in the relationships we build.
At the same age, I experienced many of the same struggles and had done nothing to deserve such treatment. Obviously this leaves an unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach, but you will come to find individuals who will treat you with respect. My words of wisdom that I hope you take to heart is that this type of treatment will only make you a wiser, stronger person. Your character will be defined as a direct result of this behavior. This will help you thrive given the opportunities...embrace them. Not everyone is as belittling and will give you chances to prove yourself as the competent adult that you are.

Mars Black is an opaque black with a strong and cool masstone, a slightly warm tint, and a warm brown undertone. It is not as black as Ivory Black, but it dries more quickly and has three times the tinting strength. Mars Black is normally the only black available in acrylic form and that is safe to over paint. It can be used in all media without reservation and is widely used as an alternative to Lamp Black and Ivory Black.
Mars Black is very lightfast with excellent permanence.
Mars Black has no significant hazards and is the only major black pigment considered non-toxic.
The word Mars refers to the Roman god of iron and war. Mars Black was developed in the early 20th century from inorganic, synthetic iron oxide.
Black Iron Oxide, Iron Black, Magnetic Oxide, Mapico Black, Mineral Black. Sometimes labeled as Vine Black.
polychlorinated copper(II) phthalocyanine
C32H3Cl13CuN8 to C32HCl15CuN8 or C32H16CuN8Cl15 (PG7) or C32Br6Cl10CuN8 (PG36)
Phthalo Green is a transparent, cool, bright, high intensity color used in oil and acrylics. It comes from a Phthalocyanine Blue pigment where most of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced with chlorine, forming highly stable molecules. It has similar pigment properties and permanence to Phthalo Blue. It is slow drying and an excellent base color for mixing a range of bright greens. Phthalo Green is considered a very good alternative to Viridian because it is intense and mixes well and can be used to emphasize mineral colors in various tints. However, its tinting strength is very high, so it can overpower other colors. This pigment most closely resembles the discontinued and toxic Verdigris.
Phthalo Greens are completely lightfast and resistant to alkali, acids, solvents, heat, and ultraviolet radiation. They are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics due to their stability and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry.
Phthalo Green has no significant hazards, but it contained PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) until 1982.
This bright blue-green was developed in 1935 and has been in use since 1938.

No. 14 UC Santa Barbara (9-11, 0-2) failed to score in the first half of play and fell to No. 4 UCLA (15-4, 2-0) 8-2 on Saturday afternoon at UCLA's Sunset Canyon Recreation Center.
Despite not scoring in the first quarter of play, UCSB did protect its own goal by only allowing a single score to the potent Bruin offense. The second quarter proved differently for UCSB when it gave up three unanswered goals, and found itself without a goal and down by four headed into halftime.
UCLA held momentum in the third quarter, and once again posted three goals. UCSB also managed to find the back of the net in the third quarter when sophomore Matt Tilburg scored the first of his two goals on the match. The Poway, Calif. native was the only Gaucho to score in the match. The Gauchos and Bruins traded scores in the fourth, and UCLA went on to defeat UCSB by a count of 8-2.
Goalkeeper Rick Wright tallied 11 saves in goal for the Gauchos.
UCSB will continue action at UCSB's Campus Pool tomorrow when it hosts No. 1 USC in its home opener at 1:00 p.m.

House leaders on Friday were trying to nail down votes on a new pair of bills to address security at the U.S.-Mexico border, a day after Speaker John Boehner and his allies failed to get enough votes for earlier measures.
Reports said a new measure would cost $694 million, which includes $35 million for border-state governors. Those governors would be given more authority to deploy the National Guard. Tennessee Rep. Marsha Blackburn said the House would also vote on her proposal to block President Barack Obama from expanding a program to protect some undocumented immigrants. Republicans blame that program for the flood of Central American minors into the U.S.
On Thursday, conservative Republicans revolted against earlier bills, saying they didn't go far enough. Leadership was forced to pull the bills from the floor rather than suffer defeat.
Even if the House approves the new bills, however, they won't go far anytime soon. The Senate is certain to reject them, and senators have already left town for a five-week recess.
When the Senate comes back, it will have its own legislation to contend with. On Thursday, Republicans blocked a $2.7 billion bill for the border crisis.
House Republicans, eager to save face, said they were acting when the Senate wasn't.

I just love the collars worn by the two young women below. I found these photos at an antique show in the 1990s.
Above left: "Sarah Buckley (Rose's Mother)" taken at the W.B. Miles Studio, 151 High Street, Holyoke, MA. I would guess that this photograph was taken in the 1890s.
Above right: "Annie Williams, Brown Hair 12 yr, Sept 19, Black eyes, 2 watercolors" The photograph was taken at the Morton Artistic Photographer, 75 Westminster Street, Providence, Rhode Island circa 1890. This photograph may have accompanied Annie's entries in an art show.
Above left: The dapper man in the photograph is "W. M. Lawson" and we know this because he was kind enough to sign his CDV. Though it is not visible in the scan above, there is a faint photographer's imprint in the lower right corner that reads, "Sheldon & Davis."
Above right: This little girl was photographed at G. Wilson's Photographic and Portrait Gallery on Water St. in Mary's, Ontario, Canada, probably sometime after 1877 and before 1885. "Annie Lytle" is written on the back in pencil.

Bark readers are by their very nature, responsible dog owners. We treat our dogs as family and many of us love to take them with us whenever possible. The fact that we include them in every aspect of our lives is an example of our commitment to them. We would never knowingly do anything to put our beloved friends in danger and yet leaving them in our cars, even just for a few minutes, can be fatal. As an animal control officer, I know the dangers better than most. I have witnessed the tragic results of people leaving dogs in the car "just to run in and get a gallon of milk." Sadly, sometimes people get distracted, run into an old friend or the line is longer than expected. I have removed dead dogs from the owners vehicles and been haunted by the images in my dreams.
During the summer months our department responds to multiple dog-in-hot-car calls every day. Most of the time the vehicle is long gone when we arrive, or the dog is fine and the caller was just overly concerned. Occasionally the dog is truly in distress. I have a little portable thermometer that I put inside the vehicle (assuming that the window is cracked open) to measure the temperature. Often the owner comes back before the dog is in serious distress but when I show them the thermometer listing 90, 100 or more degrees, it makes an impact. Dogs vary tremendously in how much heat they can take. Short- faced or heavily coated dogs are far more susceptible to heat stroke than some others. In one case, the Husky puppy died in the vehicle, while a kitten was able to climb under the seats and survive. I won't hesitate to break a window to save a dog's life.
I remember one overcast day when an elderly couple drove a long distance to a hospital for a routine early morning appointment. They cracked the windows, parked in the shade and left their two dogs waiting in the car. The husband suffered a medical emergency during his visit and ended up being airlifted to another hospital. In the chaos of the day, the dogs were temporarily forgotten. The sun came out, the shade shifted and the dogs became distressed. I removed the dogs, placed them in my truck with the cooler on and water available and waited. Finally the panicked wife arrived, distraught with worry about her husband and suddenly remembering her dogs. The dogs recovered quickly but this is an extreme example of the kind of things that can come up, taking our attention away from our dogs.
I'm mortified to admit that I myself once put two puppies in danger in a hot vehicle. I was raising the orphaned pups on a bottle and had to attend an all day class in another city. No one was available to feed the babies so I took them with me, planning to feed them during the breaks from class. It was a very cold, overcast winter morning and I was actually worried about the pups being chilled.
Two hours later when I returned to feed the pups, it was still overcast but the sun was peeking through the clouds and beating straight in the windows. It was chilly outside but the inside was uncomfortably hot and the pups were panting and crying in distress. Horrified by what I had done, I was in tears as I quickly moved them into the building and found a place for them inside. The pups were fine after a few minutes but it made a lasting impact on me and reminded me how easily it can happen.

Welcome to the Asia Markets live blog, a running account of what the region's stock markets are doing, along with other news. The Bank of Japan extends two lending programs by a year, sending the Nikkei soaring by 3% and the yen tumbling.
4:48 am | Chinese markets mixed amid hot money concerns | by Laura He
Investors in Hong Kong markets had a quite a puzzling day seeking market directions, as the index swung between gains and losses amid a mixed batch of news and economic data. The benchmark Hang Seng Index opened lower in the morning and lost 0.4% during the day. However, it turned up in the afternoon and closed 0.4% higher at 22,587.72.
Strong earnings have pushed Hong Kong banks higher. The best performer seem to be Bank of East Asia, which rallied 3% after reporting a 9% climb in net profit for 2013. HSBC Holdings, which is scheduled to release earnings next week, advanced 0.8%.
However, Chinese banks suffered in both Hong Kong and Shanghai, as the ending of China's "Golden Week" Lunar New Year holiday has also brought back abundant liquidity into the banks, prompting the central bank to swing to bond-repurchase agreements for the first time in eight months. State news agency Xinhua reported that the People's Bank of China on Tuesday withdrew 48 billion yuan ($7.9) from the money markets.
China Merchants Bank dropped 0.8% in Hong Kong markets and 1.8% on Shanghai Stock Exchange. China Construction Bank Corp. fell 0.9% in Hong Kong and 1.3% in Shanghai, and China Minsheng Banking Corp. declined more than 1% in both markets.
Meanwhile, a spike of foreign investment into China in January failed to cheer Chinese investors. Instead, the news sparked some concerns that massive hot money might have entered China disguised as foreign direct investment and would pose risks to China's economic stability, warned state-run Economic Information Daily on Tuesday. Read more here.

1:40 am | Hot money fears spook Chinese investors | by Laura He
Chinese investors seem to be skeptical about the spike of foreign investment into China last month (read more here), doubting that massive hot money inflows disguised as foreign direct investment would increase risks to China's financial sector. Hong Kong stocks briefly rose in late-morning trade after the release of China's fresh investment flows data, but turned down by 0.1% after markets reopened in the afternoon.
Shanghai investors appeared to be more concerned, as the Shanghai Composite declined by 0.8%.
State-run Economic Information Daily warned Tuesday that the Chinese government needs to fend off risks brought by a new wave of hot money inflows that pose serious challenges to economic stability.
1:14 am | Japan ends sharply higher: More theories on why | by Mike Kitchen
So, the Nikkei Average ends 3.1% higher, and the dollar is at ¥102.61 after trading below ¥102 before the Bank of Japan decision.
As noted in an earlier post, the central bank's only major change was to double down on two lending programs meant to encourage further loans and support key economic sectors, respectively.
The strength of the ensuing rally seemed a little surprising, given that the BOJ didn't touch its asset-purchase levels. One possible explanation is that the word "double" in the statement tricked algorithmic trading programs into a mad buying frenzy. (See earlier post.)
But assuming the rally was for real, there are some other theories behind the monster moves on the market.
Kazuyuki Terao at Allianz Global Investors Japan thinks it could be a short squeeze, as many expected a more downbeat statement. "But taken in context [the Bank of Japan's] comments actually sounded somewhat bullish, leading those shorts to cover their positions," he told Dow Jones Newswires.
Or conversely, it really could be about the lending-program extensions themselves. Reuters quotes an unidentified fund manager at a Japanese asset-management firm as saying just that.
"Short-term buyers are picking up banking shares," the mystery fund manager says.
Either way, a banner gain for Japanese stocks.
12:42 am | Markets check -- 2:42 p.m. in Tokyo
Japan (Nikkei Average) up 3.4%
Hong Kong (Hang Seng Index) flat
Shanghai (Shanghai Composite Index) down 0.6%
Sydney (S&P/ASX 200) up 0.2% (closed)
Seoul (Kospi) flat
Mumbai (Sensex) up 0.8%
11:54 pm | Aha! Post-BOJ rally may be all a mistake | by Mike Kitchen
The Bank of Japan kept policy more or less unchanged, and the markets FREAKED OUT!
The size of the BOJ's asset purchases, the benchmark interest rate, and the assessment of the economy were all just as they were after the last meeting.
In terms of actual news, all the BOJ did was extend a couple of lending programs, essentially doubling their size, but this wasn't really new monetary easing.
But then, suddenly, the dollar surged by more than half a yen, and the Nikkei zoomed to a 3% gain.
Crédit Agricole forex director Yuji Saito may have solved the mystery. Saito tells Dow Jones Newswires that this was really all about computer trading programs reading the word "double" in the statement and imagining this meant a doubling of asset purchases.
"It seems some foreign investors, especially those who are using algo programs, have reacted to the word 'double,' which they have probably programmed into trading," Dow Jones quotes Saito as saying.
Ah, of course! Those idiot computers! This would certainly explain why the markets saw some huge change, when for example, they did almost nothing when the BOJ upped its economic outlook last May.
Saito said he expects the dollar to ease back down as traders realize this was all an illusion. Certainly, both dollar-yen and the Nikkei are already off their intraday high.
11:12 pm | Markets check -- 1:12 p.m. in Tokyo
Japan (Nikkei Average) up 2.6%
Hong Kong (Hang Seng Index) flat (at break)
Shanghai (Shanghai Composite Index) down 0.5% (at break)
Sydney (S&P/ASX 200) flat
Seoul (Kospi) down 0.3%
Mumbai (Sensex) up 0.3%
Taipei (Taiex) up 0.2%
11:03 pm | The Bank of Japan did what?!! | by Mike Kitchen
In a broad sense, the Bank of Japan held the course, just as economists had expected:
Pace of QE unchanged? Check
Economy has still "continued to recover" ? Check
But there was some news at least: The BOJ board also said it would extend by a year two programs that offer to banks cheap loans as a way to juice overall lending and certain key sectors of the economy.
The move will "double the scale" of the two programs, known by the snappy names of "Stimulating Bank Lending Facility" and "Growth-Supporting Funding Facility."
This may seem like a minor move, but for the markets, this was huge. Huge!
After tipping higher for about a minute, the yen lurched downward with the dollar climbing from ¥101.98 up to ¥102.35.
Stocks also went nuts, with the Nikkei Average doubling its gain to trade 1.9% higher.
Maybe the sudden rush of stock-buying/yen-selling was partly due to the fact that — as Dow Jones Newswires' Takashi Nakamichi and Tatsuo Ito point out — the extension could have waited until the next policy meeting, since the programs didn't expire until the end of March.
9:20 pm | Markets check -- 10:20 a.m. in Hong Kong
Japan (Nikkei Average) up 0.9%
Hong Kong (Hang Seng Index) down 0.3%
Shanghai (Shanghai Composite Index) down 0.7%

Taipei (Taiex) down 0.1%
9:19 pm | Inflation stumps the Aussie central bank | by Mike Kitchen
The Australia central-bank minutes are out, and the focus for economists seems to be the part about inflation, specifically the fourth-quarter shocker that showed consumer prices up 0.9% during the period (against forecasts for a 0.5% rise).
"Members noted that there were several possible explanations for the higher-than-expected inflation outturn," the Reserve Bank of Australia minutes say. Among those possible explanations: Data "noise," a falling Australian dollar, less spare capacity. They're just not sure.
RBC strategist Michael Turner is equally mystified. He writes: "The sense of puzzlement over the elevated Q4 reading is apparent, although the minutes unfortunately reveal little with regard to what probabilities the board assigns each of the possible explanations."
TD Securities Asia-Pacific research chief Annette Beacher, however, feels a little more certain about where the central bank is going with this.
"The RBA Board is clearly expressing concern that the lower Australian dollar is feeding into inflation faster than expected," she writes, describing the minutes as "seal[ing] off the opportunity for another rate cut (short of another exogenous shock of course)."
In Beacher's view, the RBA will sit tight until the next inflation read, not due until April 23.
8:05 pm | Japan stock gains stack up | by Carla Mozée
Financial stocks in Tokyo were solid gainers in early trading, before Japan's central bank delivers its statement on monetary policy later in the day. Pushing higher by more than 2% each were shares of Mizuho Trust & Banking Co., Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc. and Orix Corp. The Nikkei Stock Average was up by 1.6% nearly an hour into trading.
Economists don't expect the Bank of Japan to make any changes in its policy stance at this meeting, but the accompanying press conference by Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda (pictured here) "may still be revealing," said Capital Economics in a preview Monday.
The bank is aiming to lift and sustain consumer-price inflation at a rate of 2% through asset purchases that will have roughly doubled the monetary base to ¥270 trillion by the end of 2014.
But with growth fragile and underlying price pressures weak, Capital Economics said monetary policy will likely "have to be loosened a lot more in 2015, even if some board members are reluctant to commit to this far in advance. This is turn points to further yen weakness and Nikkei strength," it said. Its year-end 2015 forecast is 120 yen to the dollar, and 18,500 for the Nikkei Average.
7:28 pm | Markets check -- 9:28 a.m. in Tokyo
Japan (Nikkei Average) up 1.2%
Sydney (S&P/ASX 200) flat
Seoul (Kospi) up 0.1%
7:07 pm | Australia holds tight, but BHP storms higher | by Mike Kitchen
With Wall Street closed for a holiday, it's a quiet day for U.S. stocks, and a quiet day for Australian stocks too. The ASX 200 is now flat, trickling down from a 0.2% gain at the open, with most sectors seeing mixed moves.
The biggest news of the morning seems to be BHP Billiton's earnings report. The world's largest mining firm, created when Broken Hill Proprietary joined hands with Billiton PLC, said July-December profit shot up to $8.1 billion, compared to $4.4 billion a year earlier. The analyst community had been looking for just $7 billion in profit, according to a Wall Street Journal survey.
And so, we see BHP shares up 2% this morning.
Among other names moving on just-announced earnings: Coca-Cola Amatil is down 6.8%, Arrium is up 0.3%, and Amcor is down 4.8%.
Looking ahead, minutes from the latest Reserve Bank of Australia meeting are due out later in the morning. This may (or may not) confirm the central bank's indication that rates are on hold for the time being.

This week at the Kidz In Motion (KIM) Conference, Dorel unveiled an exciting new product. It wasn't anything flashy or high-tech but it did elicit a lot of praise. It's the Safety 1st "Incognito" Kid-Positioning Seat which is appropriately named because it's meant to blend in with the vehicle interior and be less conspicuous. I can attest to this claim because I walked right past it at the Dorel booth without even noticing it! Lol.
The Incognito is special because it's meant to be "the seat after the booster". It was specifically designed for older kids and Tweens who still need a little help getting the adult seatbelt to fit properly but who probably aren't using a booster anymore. With its very low profile and covers designed to blend in with vehicle interiors, the Incognito should be more appealing to older kids who may be self-conscious about using a more traditional-looking booster. This is extremely important because one of the biggest challenges we face as CPS Technicians and advocates is getting the message out to parents and kids that they are NOT ready to ditch the booster and move directly to the adult seatbelt at age 7 or 8.
The Incognito will be rated from 60-120 lbs. and from 47-60″ tall. Currently, Dorel does not have the dummies they would need to crash test and rate the seat to weights higher than 120 lbs. So for now, we have to be happy with what it does offer – which is a lot. I've seen the questions and comments about older kids who weigh less than 60 lbs (27 kg) and honestly, I think kids who are considerably smaller than average for their age would probably be better served by a traditional booster. However, if I had a 10 yr old who was in the 10th percentile for weight and didn't quite weigh 60 lbs yet, I know *I* would be comfortable making the parental decision to use this product if it was really important to my child. I get that being a 4th or 5th or 6th grader who is still using a traditional booster can be upsetting for some kids. I've had one of each type of kid so I know first-hand that some kids (like my 9 year old DS2) are perfectly happy in their boosters, while some other kids (like my DS1) are/were embarrassed about it.
Personally, I want to throw my arms around the Dorel people who decided to make the minimum weight 60 lbs. They absolutely did the right thing here and I really appreciate that. This product is targeted to kids in the 8-13 year range and the weight minimum reflects that. It really is meant to be "the seat after the booster".
Incognito is made of dense foam so it's extremely lightweight. It's firm and supportive but not as hard as sitting on plastic.
Careful attention was paid to the belt guide design so it would be quick and easy for kids to thread the lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt through the guide correctly every time. If the seat is staying in the vehicle then the child can leave the seatbelt threaded through the guide on one side and only have to thread it into the guide on the buckle side each and every time.
Height: 2.5″ tall
Depth: 16.5″ from back to front
Width in back (narrowest point): 12″
Width at widest point: 16″
The Incognito does have the potential to be useful in some 3-across situations but it's not a narrow booster so I predict that results will vary depending on the situation. It's going to "play well" next to other seats because there are no armrests but you still need the space for it.
Since there were no real kids at the conference (only dolls and grown-ups acting like kids ;)), we had to improvise. Special thanks to Betsey Mowery, CPST-Instructor from University of Arkansas Medical Center, for being a good sport and modeling the Incognito in a 2013 Toyota Sienna! At 5'2″ tall, Betsey is technically above the 60″ height limit but you can see that she fits very nicely in this product anyway. FYI – there is no age limit on this product so if you are a small-in-stature adult and you don't exceed the height or weight limits of this product – then you can use the Incognito too! Jockeys rejoice!
Incognito should be available on Amazon.com in a few weeks. There will be 4 cover choices. Price will be around $20. It will go to Canada eventually but there is no estimated ETA on that right now.
More info can be found on the Dorel website here: http://safety1st.djgusa.com/en/djgusa/safety1st/booster-car-seats/incognito-booster-seat–bc093blk
Stay tuned to CarseatBlog for a full Incognito review coming soon!

You can not beat the quality of military specification (MIL SPEC) clothing, equipment and outdoor gear. MIL SPEC products are designed to last for years. That's why Military Surplus has always been popular with THRIFTY Scouts, Scouters, Outdoorsmen and Campers.
Have you considered wearing solid color BDU (Battle Dress Uniform) pants and shorts, with REAL CARGO POCKETS, as part of your Scout Uniform?
Olive drab military clothing and gear is getting harder to find now, because many military organizations have switched to camouflage. Many Scouting Organizations discourage Scouts from wearing Camouflage. However, there is nothing wrong with wearing solid colored BDU that come in Olive Drab (green), Khaki (tan), Grey, Navy, Black or White, which do go well with Scout uniforms. To help people interested in solid color BDU's we have highlighted the addresses of any supplier offering them.

During the day, mothers with strollers busily getting to the supermarkets, vegetable stores, grocery stores and our general stores (before picking up their older children from school), others with their carts or laden with shopping bags or parking their cars and unfortunately paying 25 cents for 15 minutes, feeding our parking meters with their quarters to get those few forgotten items.
I remember when I came to Woodhaven 44 years ago, my blessed mother-in-law introduced me to our many Jamaica Avenue stores. I was so impressed by the choice of stores and, as I have stated before, what we now call "walkability."
Through the years our Woodhaven's Jamaica Avenue has had a magnetism. In one day it is not unusual to make a few trips "down to the Avenue." It is truly our Everything Avenue. Every day your storeowners and business owners, through the Woodhaven Business Improvement District, work hard to clean your streets, remove any graffiti vandalism, engage WBID Security patrols and promote our avenue.
The WBID continues to strive to bring more diverse stores and businesses here. Unfortunately, with the current economy small business owners are hesitating in opening new locations. In spite of this, on our Jamaica Avenue we have a low vacancy rate by comparison to other avenues and small shopping malls.
So, continue to "go down to the Avenue" and shop locally.
Notes: I have to acknowledge the Forest School P.S. 97 for during this recent holiday season for contributing the first and the most Christmas decorations for our Forest Parkway Plaza. These decorations were delivered personally to our office by their Student Government President Julian Castro and Vice President Arianna Sanchez, who under the guidance of Student Government teacher Ms. Ward and art teacher Ms. Binack, completed this project.
• Speaking of students, congratulations to Shiwei Liu who received a Master of Science degree, and Mario Chuman and Derick Yung, both named to the Dean's List at the Rochester Institute of Technology, and both of Woodhaven. You make us proud!
• Did you know that actor and director Ed Burns was born and raised in Woodhaven? Our Ed Burns is the son of one of N.Y.'s Finest, a NYPD police officer.
• The Home Energy Assistance Program is still available, please call (800) 692-0557 for more info. Also, the GWDC still has low-cost Home Improvement Loans at 2.5 percent and 5 percent interest. Please call our office at (718) 805-0202 for more information.
• A big thank you to our District Attorney Richard Brown and his office for the major drug and illegal firearm trafficker arrests made in Queens during 2012, again proving he is the best district attorney in New York City. Remember if you see something, say something.
• As you shop on our Woodhaven's Jamaica Avenue, or are just walking through, if you are in need of assistance, 1) Go into one of our stores; and 2) Stay near the register and ask them to call 911 or your family for you to inform them of this emergency. For all Police emergencies call 911. The telephone number of our 102nd Precinct is (718) 805-3200, press 1 for the switchboard.
Please fly our American flags above all others in Woodhaven, for we are still at war against evil terrorists. May God bless our leaders, may God bless our armed forces, and most of all may God bless our America.
