ST. LOUIS, Mo.- The Brandeis Women's basketball team fell to the 7th ranked Washington University in St. Louis Bears 69-42. The Judges hung on through the first half after shooting 40.7% from the field, going into the break down by just seven at 33-26. Unfortunately, Brandeis shooting went cold in the second half to the tune of just 28.6% from the field and just two field goals over the final 12 minutes of the game. Brandeis falls to 7-8 on the year and remains winless in the University Athletic Association at 0-4 while the Bears improved to 13-2 (3-1 UAA).
Samantha Anderson (Johnsonville, N.Y./ Hoosic Valley) led the Judges with 10 points on 4-of-7 shooting and 2-of-4 from the line. Classmate Courtney Ness (Norwich, Vt./ Hanover (N.H.)) contributed nine points off the bench as the team's second leading scorer. Despite outshooting the Washington University in the first half, Brandeis was just 3-of-8 from the charity stripe while the Bears went to the line 20 times and converted 12. Still, the Judges went into the locker room down just seven and in a competitive contest.
The second half was a different story with the Judges shooting just 6-of-21 overall from the field, 0-of-4 from beyond the arc, and 4-of-10 from the line. Meanwhile, the Bears came alive shooting 10-of-24 from the field including a terrific 5-of-7 from three-point range and 11-of-14 from the free throw line. Brandeis was also held to just two field goals in the final 12 minutes after pulling to within eight at 42-34 with 10:08 left in the game on a pair of free throws from Anderson.
Anderson led the Judges with five rebounds while rookie Hannah Cain (Gloucester, Mass./ Gloucester) was second on the team with four. Senior Kelly Ethier (Springfield, Mass./ Minnechaug Regional) led the team with four assists. Brandeis' demise came in the form of 17 turnovers to just 11 assists, a 1-9 performance from behind the arc, and just 7-18 from the line while the Bears went 23-34. Still, the Judges hung with the 7th ranked team in the nation for three quarters of the game. Brandeis travels to the University of Chicago for a UAA matchup on January 22nd while Washington University stays at home for a UAA contest with NYU on January 22nd.

The Saxon brands of Audi and Horch from Zwickau, Wanderer from Chemnitz and DKW from Zschopau played a decisive role in motor vehicle development in Germany. These four brands amalgamated in 1932 to form Auto Union AG – with the sign of the four rings.

Reading the news that Kate Middleton is suffering with hyperemesis gravidarum made me feel for her, as a fellow HG sufferer I can relate more than others with her on this issue. A part of me is also happy that this terrifying and often life threatening illness will finally get the attention it deserves so that other women can detect it as early as possible and not just dismissed as 'bad morning sickness'. Let me tell you, HG is not morning sickness. It's a terrifying illness that seizes women in the early stages of pregnancy and doesn't relent until you feel your body may simply just give up all together. I didn't even know I was pregnant when I began dealing with the rapid and alarming symptoms of HG. At one point, unbeknownst to me, I was two months pregnant and vomiting up to 40 times a day and all through the night. This wasn't just a day or two, it went on for weeks in a row and was unrelenting.
Most days I just lay in bed with a plastic bucket next to me, throwing up clear bile as there was literally nothing in my stomach left to come up. I couldn't eat at all, except for gnawing on a few cream crackers now and again, and water was a no no too, leaving me severely dehydrated. My whole body ached and I had terrible pain in my chest from the constant convulsions meaning that I couldn't even move to get up without it being agony. I went to my doctor who, not thinking I could be pregnant due to my polycystic ovaries, told me it was an issue with my lungs and put me on antiemtic drugs to stop the vomiting. Thankfully, these turned out to be safe for pregnant women when a few weeks later I found out I was in fact pregnant, but they did nothing at all to stop the sickness.
At a time when I should have been relaxed and enjoying the pregnancy, looking forward to my new arrival, all I could do was lie in the dark wishing the pain would stop. It took my losing over two stone for the hospital to finally diagnose me with hyperemesis. I was painfully thin as I literally hadn't eaten for three months, and the press, not knowing I was pregnant, were calling me anorexic and coming up with the usual bogus 'sources' claiming I was 'picking at salads and surviving on milkshakes'. Quite ironic as the idea of actually being able to keep down even a milkshake seemed like a distant fantasy at that point! I was given painkillers, i/v fluids and was told to rest, but I was furious with the diagnosis coming so late as, by then, the hyperemesis had started to wear off and I was eating again and getting my strength back.
The hospital had only considered that I may have it after I googled my symptoms myself and thankfully found the Pregnancy Sickness Support website, one of the few of its kind on the internet offering advice and war stories about HG. The hospital had, up until then, just dismissed my claims and obvious symptoms as mere morning sickness, a fact that enraged my husband and left me worried about my own survival and that of my unborn baby. In sheer desperation I printed out my internet research to show a nurse that the symptoms matched my severe weightloss, dehydration and debilitating nausea and I was finally diagnosed.
One in every 50 pregnant women suffer from HG and it can lead to serious issues and even death if not treated early. Thankfully Kate seems to be getting all the help she needs at the right time. For me, the nightmare ended around month four, leaving me free to enjoy the remaining four months of my pregnancy but I was so sad that the early part of being pregnant was something I couldn't enjoy like the other mothers at the NCT class. Once I started attending classes the other expectant mums shared their stories about all the fun they had had stuffing themselves with various strange cravings and merrily shopping for push chairs and doing pregnancy yoga, when I had spent that time dangerously ill in a darkened room, vomiting into a bucket. It felt like I only had four months to come to terms with being a mother and to prepare for the baby's arrival, his birth, everything. It was all rushed due to this horrendous illness taking over my whole life. Thankfully the rest of my pregnancy was blissful and Astala was born a healthy 7lb and is now a chubby, smiley, endlessly cuddly bundle of joy who has reached every milestone on time so far and has never been ill (bar a runny nose now and again).
Now pregnant again with my second little boy, I have never been more thankful that I'm not one of the women who suffers HG with every pregnancy. I'm out of the danger zone of the early months, and at almost five months now I've been able to experience what a normal pregnancy is like without living in fear of the next throwing up episode. If I knew I would suffer from it again would I still have gone through with the pregnancy? Of course. And that's the thing about HG, it tests your love and fierce determination to fight for your child before he's even born. It showed me, in a strange way, what a mothers love feels like before I'd even felt him in my arms, because I was fighting for him every single day. And even though it was one of the worst things I've ever gone through, it was also the best as it gave me the most wonderful little boy in the world at the end of it.

"Wine is a grocery, not a luxury." — Richard Betts
Richard Betts (@yobetts) served as the wine director at The Little Nell in Aspen from 2000 to 2008. Much more interesting to me, Richard passed the Court of Master Sommeliers' Masters Exam on his first attempt, becoming the ninth person in history ever to do so.
I first met Richard through investing wunderkind Chris Sacca, and we immediately hit it off. Richard can help you train your senses for anything, including wine, whiskey, his current love of mezcal, and far beyond.
He's also done a lot of wild experiments, gotten a lot of tattoos, almost been shot in Mexico, and developed an incredible ability to simplify the complex. We get along.
In this conversation, we talk about nearly everything, ranging from the value of quitting to tricks of the trade, travel tips (he's traveling 300+ days per year), and "starter" wines.
We also drink a boat-load of whiskey, me tasting and Richard teaching. The pictures below show a sample. Side note and cool rule of thumb: did you know it's spelled "whiskey" when from countries that have "e" in their names (e.g. America) but "whisky" when from countries that don't have an "e" in their names (e.g. Scotland, Japan)? Richard taught me that.
Last but not least, Richard is the author of a brand-new book, "The Essential Scratch & Sniff Guide to Becoming a Whiskey Know-It-All," which is sitting on my kitchen table with whiskey stains all over it. It distils (see what I did there?) a couple of lifetimes worth of study down to 24 pages…then makes them smell good. Definitely check it out. At the very least, it gives you a bunch of rules of thumb (like the whiskey vs. whisky trick), so you can impress your friends and not look like a dumb-ass at the bar. Sweet! Less dumb-ass and more smart-ass is always good. Get 'er done.

A Boho-Chic Wedding at Degage Jazz Cafe in Maumee, Ohio
Andi Teggart (26 and works in digital marketing) and Eric Burdullis (27 and works in customer experience) met at a music festival in California, and that same eclectic, outdoors vibe was carried into their bohemian nuptials. "Before we started the wedding-planning process, we decided to collectively choose two words to describe our wedding and ended up with 'authentic' and 'joyful,' " Andi says. "We chose an elegant, organic look and feel that wasn't overly rustic." With the tree-flanked Wildwood Metropark as their scenic backdrop, Andi and Eric infused a mostly neutral palette with bold pops of color, gold accents and distinctive details. While peonies weren't in season, Andi stayed true to her taste, having more than 100 of her favorite blooms flown in from Alaska for the occasion. These deep-burgundy peonies were paired with more subtle flowers and lush greenery that echoed the park's natural beauty, while handpicked pieces like vintage furniture, gold-framed mirrors and bright rugs added glamour to the outdoor space. This same contrasting style flowed effortlessly into the offbeat reception, which was held at Degage Jazz Cafe in Maumee, Ohio, and featured a brick wall adorned with delicate wildflowers. Reminiscing, Andi says, "I think the entire day truly reflected us."—Samantha Meux

"What Has America Become" was the title of a letter to the editior written by Ken Huber of Tawas City, Michigan. It contains a series of comparisons and contrasts which causes one to think about the double-standards and conditions under which we now live here in America.
A reprint of the article has been circulating online (see photo with this article) finding its way to Fort Worth and possibly all over the nation. It was originally printed in the Iosco County News Herald on June 9, 2010, published in the Opinion column. Please read, post your thoughts, and as always feel free to subscribe for future articles and/or
share with others.
What has America become?
Has America become the land of special interest and home of the double standard?
Lets see: if we lie to the Congress, it's a felony and if the Congress lies to us its just politics; if we dislike a black person, we're racist and if a black person dislikes whites, its their 1st Amendment right; the government spends millions to rehabilitate criminals and they do almost nothing for the victims; in public schools you can teach that homosexuality is OK, but you better not use the word God in the process; you can kill an unborn child, but it is wrong to execute a mass murderer; we don't burn books in America, we now rewrite them; we got rid of communist and socialist threats by renaming them progressive; we are unable to close our border with Mexico, but have no problem protecting the 38th parallel in Korea; if you protest against President Obama's policies you're a terrorist, but if you burned an American flag or George Bush in effigy it was your 1st Amendment right.
You can have pornography on TV or the internet, but you better not put a nativity scene in a public park during Christmas; we have eliminated all criminals in America, they are now called sick people; we can use a human fetus for medical research, but it is wrong to use an animal.
We take money from those who work hard for it and give it to those who don't want to work; we all support the Constitution, but only when it supports our political ideology; we still have freedom of speech, but only if we are being politically correct; parenting has been replaced with Ritalin and video games; the land of opportunity is now the land of hand outs; the similarity between Hurricane Katrina and the gulf oil spill is that neither president did anything to help.
And how do we handle a major crisis today? The government appoints a committee to determine who's at fault, then threatens them, passes a law, raises our taxes; tells us the problem is solved so they can get back to their reelection campaign.
What has happened to the land of the free and home of the brave?
– Ken Huber

Current Revolutions Will Unleash Enormous Energy (PERSPECTIVE)
(Video: The Arab Spring, Documentary, RT)
By Khalifa Rashid Al Shaali
Youth in the Arab world inherited false values from older generation but refused to accept them. Despite the lapse of a year-and-a-half since the eruption of the popular revolutions in many Arab countries - including Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Libya and Syria among others - some still cast doubts that these revolutions are driven by foreign forces and are not spontaneous reactions by Arab masses, who revolted against tyrannical regimes.
These doubts are baseless and amount to conspiracy theories. They reflect disbelief in the ability of Arab masses to revolt against their autocratic regimes. Not only ordinary people but also some highly educated people believe in conspiracy theories that the Arabs' enemy is behind these revolutions, trying to wreak havoc in the region. This theory undoubtedly belittles the Arab masses and limits their role to being mere tools in the hands of western powers, which seek to destabilize the Arab region.
Those who cast doubts can't believe that the young people are the ones behind mass demonstrations that have swept the Arab world, and that they are still demanding change.
But it is not surprising that the youth, who have the modern tools of communication and networking with the outside world, have managed to achieve what the older generations failed to.
They succeeded in leading masses in many Arab countries and, moreover, they have gone beyond all our expectations.
They made the use of technology to organize street protests and address the outside world in the language it understands.
We must acknowledge the superiority of today's generation, which inherited our false values but refused to accept them after realizing they would only lead to more humiliations.
The Arab youth sought to realize their dreams of dignity, freedom and social justice. They went further by demanding the end of their ruling regimes and a comprehensive restructuring of the old system. Most revolutions began peacefully, with the young protestors adopting a peaceful revolutionary approach and only demanding reforms. Yet, the stubbornness of ruling regimes, which denied their demands, prompted the revolutionaries to ask for more.
There were many reasons behind the outbreak of the revolutions. The youth have been suffering from unemployment, injustice, oppression, and this led many of them to immigrate from their countries in "coffin boats", sailing across the Mediterranean Sea to an unknown world, risking their lives in the course of the journey.
Those who were not able to immigrate tried to bring about change under the banner of reform. But their demands were denied and the prevailing political and social culture across most Arab countries prohibited them from expressing themselves in public, and engaging meaningfully in civic and political activity.
Young Arab talent has been wasted for the most part in recent history. But this is now starting to change, after people took the initiative to change their status.
The explosion of youth anger and determination to change their world were the impetus for the revolutions across the Arab world.
The current revolutions will undoubtedly unleash enormous energy and talent that have been bottled up in the minds, bodies and spirits of the youth across the region.
Arab youth initiated this historic transformation across the Middle East because they had always carried within them the determination to break free of the constraints that their societies and their governments had imposed on them for so many decades.
The young people are the ones who lead today's battle and will definitely win it since they have the will and determination, while the older generations must acknowledge the superiority of the young and accept their leadership in this battle for change.
We, the older generation, should admit our mistakes and give way to the youth before it is too late and give the younger generation their right to lead Arab societies towards a better future and catch up with the modern world.
It is true that the senior generation do not have the tools and the will for change that can help advance the Arab nation. History reminds us that they earlier failed, and do not have the ability to do it now.
Hence, the older generation must pass the torch on to the youth.

The Art of War: Cultural Policies and Post-Conflict Reconstruction
Are post-conflict societies that foster, promote, and develop their cultural industries providing important reconciliation benefits to their communities? If so, should governments make cultural policy a vital part of their post-conflict reconstruction plans?
After the traumatic experience of war, a number of policymakers may consider health, security, food, and shelter as the highest priorities without much consideration for culture. However, what many leaders in post-conflict zones often forget is that a conflicted, divided, and wounded population often compromises real prospects for peace and stability. Consequently, I argue that policies that encourage the development and growth of the cultural industries should be a critical part of post-conflict reconciliation efforts.

Related Suppliers
Many shops that have long operated with traditional turning centers are now rapidly supplementing their processes with multi-axis machines that have the ability to produce complex parts unattended. These sophisticated machines often require more advanced programming knowledge and corresponding software to match.
Whether a shop is looking for a CAM system to automate traditional turning for faster, more accurate results, from roughing and grooving to threading and finishing, or is seeking to maximize its multi-axis machine tool investment, a number of packages are available to handle the complete range of requirements. One option is Esprit CAM software from DP Technology.
Featured Content
Filling Multiple Needs
Esprit is designed to help operators realize their full potential for single setup, versatile, accurate, unattended machining when programming multi-axis Swiss-type turning centers. It accommodates the special demands of Swiss machines, allowing the creation of programs that take full advantage of Swiss-type capabilities with toolpath creation, simulation, collision detection and accurate G-code generation. The software provides factory-certified programming solutions for machines from builders such as Citizen, Star and Tsugami.
Program synchronization, dynamic simulation and collision detection help the shop to maintain full control over production turning operations. The software allows simultaneous work on the front and back of the workpiece with one, two or more cutting tools, helping to reduce cycle times and complete parts in a single setup. The software's suite of machining cycles includes all part handling cycles, from initial bar feeds and stock chucking through steady rests and part cutoff and pickup.
Because of its range of capabilities, Esprit helps to streamline and standardize lathe machining. It offers contour profile cutting for facing and OD or ID turning—a universal machining cycle driving single-point tools for a variety of machining tasks. The roughing cycle enables work from pre-roughed or irregular-shaped castings or barstock and has options for controlling every aspect of machine movement, from clearances to differing Z and X stock allowances. For drilling and hole making, the operator can choose between the software's pre-programmed machining cycles and the machine tool's canned cycles, or use a combination of both.
Additional Features
Esprit features seven grooving cycles with a variety of optional tool movements, including single plunge, multiple plunge, peck grooving, zigzag grooving and contouring with grooving tools. For thread machining, multiple threading options include single- or multi-point, with straight or tapered threads, and constant or variable leads. The software automatically calculates the depth and number of cuts, with a manual override option.
To provide flexible tooling options, the software simplifies the tooling definition process and provides full tooling support, from standard boring bars to complex custom form tools. The programmer can select from a complete ANSI/ISO tooling library with inserts and holders or define custom tools in any CAD system (or in Esprit) to import into the tooling library.
The programmer can use the software's sync list to perform time studies and synchronize the CNC program to optimize the G-code and minimize overall cycle time. The software presents the machining timeline in a bar chart organized by turret, spindle and head. The programmer then synchronizes and optimized the program using Windows' drag-and-drop technique, and can perform quick editing of machining cycles, including turrets, spindles, cutting tools, all of the individual machining parameters, and synchronization codes.
Once programming is complete, even the most complex parts can be machined with confidence after running the real-time part simulation. The entire part can be viewed on-screen, complete with the key moving elements of the machine tool (spindles, turrets, B-axis heads and tooling). The simulation guards against potential crashes, even during synchronized simultaneous machining and transfers of the part from the main spindle to the subspindle.
Wide Coverage
CAM packages are available to address a range of manufacturing needs, from simple to complex, and many offer multiple components or modules to address a variety of processes. Esprit is designed to offer programming for any CNC machine tools, with capabilities for two- to five-axis milling, two- to 22-axis turning, two- to five-axis wire EDM, multitasking and B-axis machine tools. The seamless CAD to CAM interface directly imports any native part model from any source, fully intact, with no need for programmers to edit or rebuild geometry. For flexibility, the software allows machining from any combination of geometries (solids, surfaces, wire frame and STL).
CAM For Multitasking Operations
While still running a few different CAM systems in the shop, this manufacturer of aerospace and oil and gas industry components has implemented what it sees as the ideal package for programming its multitasking work.
Keeping Watch on Small Parts
From watch parts to exotic medical applications, this shop takes on the world of micromachining.
Software And CNC Package Improves Production By 15 Percent
With a unique part program software suite onboard a powerful CNC, one shop has found it's producing more and better parts much faster on a recently acquired turning center.

Mark Brooks knows what it's like to be in the hunt for a championship on the final day. It's just been awhile since that's happened.
Brooks has put himself atop the leaderboard heading into the final round of the Principal Charity Classic, shooting a 4-under 67 on Saturday for a one-stroke edge over Mark Calcavecchia.
"I think the hard part of not being right in the hunt is you're not as familiar with your tendencies at the time," Brooks said. "That's what you get from playing all the time. You know, I need to fight off this hook or fight off that cut. You know that a lot better when you're playing 30 tournaments a year."
This is just the sixth Champions Tour event for Brooks, who turned 50 in March, and he's within reach of his first victory since the 1996 PGA Championship. He survived a shaky finish, salvaging a bogey on 18 after twice hitting into bunkers, and finished 36 holes at 10-under 132.
Calcavecchia, playing in the same group as Brooks, closed with three straight pars after an eagle on 15 to wind up with a 66, putting him 9 under. Peter Senior (67) and 2002 winner Bob Gilder (66) were 8 under.
"It's fun," Brooks said, savoring his spot atop the leaderboard. "There are good galleries here, it's a great tournament. It feels like a real tournament."
The weather calmed after Friday's breezy conditions and Glen Oaks yielded far lower scores as a result, including a 64 by Jay Don Blake that was one off the tournament record. It was the day's best score and left Blake 6 under heading into Sunday.
There were 58 subpar scores Saturday after just 23 in the first round.
Brooks, who lost to Retief Goosen in a playoff at the 2001 U.S. Open, was in danger of losing the lead when he hit out of one fairway bunker and landed in another on 18. His next shot, to the back of the green, left him with a 45-foot putt for par and he got close enough for little more than a tap-in for bogey.
Calcavecchia had a chance to tie for the lead, but rammed his birdie putt on 18 past the hole before nailing his comebacker.
Brooks thought he, Calcavecchia and Senior, who also played in the final group, left a lot of makeable putts on the greens.
"Our whole group could have shot lower today," Brooks said. "There weren't a whole lot of putts being made. Our whole group could have shot better scores with good putting."
Brooks just missed a hole-in-one on No. 5, the ball skidding inches right of the cup. His 5-footer for birdie spun out and he had to settle for par. He came back with a birdie on 8 and an eagle on No. 9 after a nice 7-iron from 195 yards, but Calcavecchia kept plugging away and staying with him.
Even on the day through six holes, Calcavecchia birdied four of the next seven, then offset a bogey on 14 by sticking a 5-iron to 15 feet on No. 15 and sinking the putt for an eagle. He was kicking himself after missing a 3-footer for birdie on 17, but settled down to finish with his par on 18 after overshooting his birdie putt.
"I was glad I made that one after yanking that three-footer on the hole before," Calcavecchia said.
Gilder, playing in the 178th straight tournament for which he was eligible, had five birdies in a bogey-free round. His streak will end with this tournament because he leaves Monday for a two-week trip to Europe and will miss the Greater Hickory Classic at Rock Barn starting June 10.
Dana Quigley's record streak of 278 is out of reach, Gilder said.
"There aren't enough tournaments," he said. "I'd have to play until I was 80."
Still, he'll head off on vacation feeling better about his game than he has for a while.
"It's been a tough year," said Gilder, whose best finish has been a tie for 56th. "But some of things I've been working on are starting to pay off now. I'm very happy with (the round), very happy."
Senior stayed close to the lead with six birdies in the first 11 holes. After a bogey on 12, he finished with six pars.
Blake knocked in a sand wedge from 40 yards for an eagle on 11 and was on track to at least match the tournament record after a birdie on 15 dropped him to 8 under for the day. But he ran into trouble on 17 when his tee shot sailed into the long grass right of the fairway, though he almost salvaged par when his chip stopped on the lip of the cup.
"I was lucky to make bogey on that hole," Blake said.
He almost got it back on 18, but his birdie putt from 18 feet curled around the left side of the hole.
Fleisher, playing in the same group as Blake, seemed headed for a sensational round when he birdied seven of the first 10 holes. But he cooled off, bogeyed 17 and finished 6 under for the day.
"He was making birdies on every hole," Blake said. "I made an eagle and I still wasn't even with him. So I was just trying to keep up with Bruce. We both played pretty well out there and kind of fed off each other."
Calcavecchia joined the senior circuit last year and is still looking for his first victory after winning 13 times on the PGA Tour. He said Brooks has to be the favorite to finish the deal on Sunday.
"It's a perfect course for him," Calcavecchia said. "He'll be tough to beat."

Projected capacitive touchscreens (PCAP)
Projected capacitive (PCAP) touchscreens, the established technology in the consumer field, was further developed to fullfil industrial capability. This technology allows operation through glass and plastic surfaces or other non-conductive materials. The glass printing from the rear enables a wide range of customer-specific designs to be created.
SCHURTER invests permanently in state-of-the-art production facilities, such as glass printing systems and laser ablation for sensor production. These investments enable us to build prototypes quickly, as well as individual and cost-optimized solutions, which are used on applications with the most recent designs.
SCHURTER quickly realized that PCAP touchscreens are, from design to prototype and onwards, a leading technology in Europe. The production processes such as the automated laminating of touch sensors, bonding of glass sensors, optical bonding of displays and the printing of glass as well as mechanical glass processing are done in-house.
With the PCAP technology, SCHURTER provides many new functions
• Multi-touch (single, dual, 5 and 10 finger multi-touch detection)
• Actuation by approach or low actuating force
• Wide range of standard sensor sizes available from 3,5"- 24"
• High optical transparency and light transmission

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (AP) Chauncey Orr scored 18 points and A'uston Calhoun added a double-double to lead Bowling Green to a 70-55 victory over Kent State on Wednesday night.
Calhoun and Jordon Crawford each scored 12 points and Calhoun added 13 rebounds for the Falcons (7-11, 2-3 Mid-American Conference), who never trailed after Anthony Henderson's 3-pointer broke an 8-8 tie with 11:57 left in the first half.
Bowling Green scored the final nine points of the half to lead 35-22, holding Kent State (11-8, 2-3) to 27.6 percent shooting (8 of 29) in the opening 20 minutes.
The Falcons' lead never fell below seven in the second half.
Randal Holt scored 17 points to pace the Golden Flashes. His three 3-pointers gave him 202 for his career and moved him into second place on Kent State's all-time list, two ahead of Armon Gates (2003-07) and current assistant coach Eric Haut (2000-04).

Once upon a time, he couldn't pitch. Now, apparently, he can surely pitch. Rick Ankiel sunk an 11th-inning homer in McCovey Cove to bring the Atlanta Braves into a tie at 1-1 for the NLDS. The next game is Sunday in Atlanta.
Adding to the 'fun' was Derrek Lee -- a mid-season pickup for the Braves that paid solid dividends in this first round of the playoffs -- who went two-for-five with two runs scored.
Alex Gonzalez hit a tying, two-run double off closer Brian Wilson and the Atlanta Braves' bats woke up just in time to send Game 2 of their NL division series against the San Francisco Giants to extra innings tied at 4 on Friday night.
After being held to one unearned run in the first 16 innings of the series, the Braves erased a 4-1 deficit in the eighth inning of Game 2 as they tried to avoid falling into a 2-0 series hole.
Derrek Lee started the rally with a leadoff single against Sergio Romo and went to third on Brian McCann's single. The Giants then called on Wilson, who has never had a six-out save in his career, according to STATS LLC. Wilson did lead the majors this season with 10 saves of longer than an inning but he couldn't come through in his first career postseason appearance.
He got Melky Cabrera to hit a slow roller toward third that scored Atlanta's second run. Pablo Sandoval's throw to first pulled Aubrey Huff off the bag for an error, but Cabrera looked as though he would have beaten the throw anyway.
After a sacrifice bunt by Brooks Conrad, Gonzalez tied it with his double to left-center. Gonzalez had just two hits in 41 at-bats over his past 12 games before coming through against Wilson.
The Giants' bullpen had thrown 24 1-3 consecutive scoreless innings since late in the regular season before the eighth-inning meltdown.
Braves manager Bobby Cox wasn't around for the rally, having been ejected in the second inning for arguing a call at first base. It was the third career postseason ejection to go along with a record 158 in the regular season for the 69-year-old Cox, who is retiring after the season.

Pointers on Choosing From the Best Available Bands For Your Wedding ReceptionMany bands are well known for their great versatility at making a wedding reception successful, but how do you find the right one out of the huge selection of bands? A cover band is always going to be far more successful than an original band at a wedding reception and hiring the best cover bands is going to be your mission for a successful reception.

Whether to Hire a Disk Jockey or a Live Band For Your ReceptionWhat's the best form of entertainment for your wedding reception, a Disk Jockey or a variety band? Without question it is always a live band! A live band will really impress and can add a great touch of class if they also have a horn section. A live band has far more energy and mystique than a Disk Jockey because the band members are putting on a show as well as playing music and the live get-up-and-go of the band often packs the dance floor far more than a Disc Jockey.

Bingo bango, the boys scoot into town
After the elimination of Jessie and Biswa, is there any point carrying on? New My Kitchen Rules contenders, cousins Sam and Chris, are trying to convince us so.
Yes, it's time for group two to be put under the grill, with Steph's "clever little sausage" husband Dan most in danger of crispy frying his fair skin in the Queensland sun.
While New South Wales trainer Luke looks like he's straight out of the tanning salon and accompanied by who? Oh, who cares, the focus is clearly Luke.
But lo, before any fears that the only airheads of the show have been squandered too early, with the loss of the Spice Girls, up pop ex-beauty queens Lisa and Candice.
This mother and daughter duo are "two peas in a pod", let's hope they have just as much sense.
There are some others but we'll come back to them, since it's the Victorians, Sam and Chris, who are convinced they will be the first "all-male team" to win MKR.
With a booming voice-over promising more tears, followed by squeals of "Oh, my God" and the shadowy figures of the "gatecrashers", it was starting to look like an appetising show.
But suddenly we're watching MasterChef.
Oh, oops, it's Sam and Chris riding a red Vespa. (No doubt stolen from MasterChef's back alley as a trophy after MKR dominated the ratings.)
Somewhere in Richmond, the boys arrive to get a coffee and "giddy up" (the scooter must double as a horse), their story starts to unfold.
Metrosexual Sam quickly explains that Chris was too much of a nerd for him when they were younger, but now they love to compete.
Cut to horror upon horror of Lycra, as the duo battle it up a hill on bicycles. But sweet relief, it's a cooking show, not the Tour de France.
The boys are now forced into a car because surprise, surprise Melbourne rains – a lot. It also suffers traffic, so the audience gets to enjoy staring at the rear of a dirty old bin truck as Sam and Chris make their way to – you guessed it – Coles.
The only joy I get from this dodgy product placement is that Coles in Richmond looks more like a florist, with the boys bragging that 80 per cent of all their cooking is done from this particular supermarket. If this is true, I detect trouble ahead.
The entree of spinach and ricotta with runny egg ravioli has them heading suspiciously towards the Latina shelf, with Pete reminding us that they have to cook the pasta so the egg remains runny.
The boys load up with a few dozen eggs, saying "that should be fine", when we all know it won't be.
Then back to their warehouse apartment, where - thank heavens - the Vespa is parked. (That's just for all the doubters who thought it may just have been a prop).
In fact the duo later pay homage to the motorised skateboard for being responsible for their style of instant restaurant, which we learn is "Food Alley".
So, after a "bingo bango" and some so-called graffiti art on the walls, the boys get on with cooking; under the potentially deluded belief that their coconut creme caramel with almond praline will set the benchmark.
Surely Manu will have something to say about the bastardising of this French classic? No. Instead it's Pete who points out that the boys were "playing with fire".
Manu is too concerned about the main of lamb roulade with pea and mint puree not having any sauce. For the love of God give the Frenchman his sauce!
But no, Chris confidently dismisses any notion of sauce. Instead the pair utter a few more "bingo bangos", like witches over their bubbling green cauldron, certain that their magic puree will be enough.
But a restaurant would be nothing without guests, and it's the pink cardigan brigade of Jenna and Joanna, from South Australia, leading the way.
Despite their cotton-candy outfits, there is nothing sweet about these Barbie dolls and they are not to be toyed with.
"We aren't here to make friends. We have plenty of those at home," they promise. (They must mean sex-less Ken.)
Lisa and Candice seem to have picked up on the poisonous vibe because they wisely consulted their star signs, and daughter Candice now knew "to trust no one".
Dan and Steph want "funky" Melbourne food. (Personally, I would be wary of anything that smelt funky).
And a quick round of "guess the profession" results in clearly-not-a-lawyer Lisa confessing that Steph "thinks I'm smart!", followed by some mumbo jumbo about tarot cards and flashes of Miss Busselton sashes. (I'm originally from WA and Busselton only has a total population of 20,000).
Self-proclaimed "Little Miss Cupcake" Jenna also shows signs of fairy-floss brain when she tells us she's "starting to inspirate". Sweet relief! There are plenty of airheads to fill Jessie and Biswa's vacuous void.
We meet Tasmania's "just friends" couple Ali and Samuel. Samuel, it turns out, has a strange penchant for calling Ali "mum" or "muma" while going on the prowl for young ladies.
But that's not stopping Jenna, who is already planning Ali and Samuel's wedding – and guess who's the cake maker.
But enough of the girls, where's the meat? Oh there it is, in the shape of Luke and Scott's muscly physiques as they explain that their bodies are temples and they can make healthy foods seem delicious. I wonder if that's with tops on or off.
Hervey Bay tradie Dan decides it would be a good idea to go on national television humping a fake great white shark, with his wife Steph egging him on, before we watch her handling his sausages. Ahem, that's real sausages. We learn that Dan's a meat man with a dream of opening a sausage shop.
So before we can even see what's being dished up, there's always the obligatory swoon for Manu as he and Pete take their seats at the table. Jenna is in fact swooning so hard she appears to be crying and, let's be honest, this is just getting plain stupid.
Finally, back in the kitchen, Sam and Chris are cracking under pressure as their egg yolks break all over their pasta and they only have one egg left!
Aside from the over-dramatisation by Seven (complete with the cliffhanger ad break), this idea of separating egg yolks from whites into ravioli could make a great Minute to Win It challenge.
Although no richer for the challenge, the boys manage to make the last egg count as they get their entrees out.
Despite some whining from the Barbie brigade that the beige areolae in front of them "didn't look too pretty", Samuel was clearly appreciating his breast-like mound of pasta, with some commentary about a "money shot". That's runny yolk, for anyone who's unclear.
And despite Manu and Pete both enjoying said "money shot", there wasn't enough ricotta and spinach in Pete's opinion, and Manu would have liked some parmesan.
So on to the lamb, which has to be perfect in Sam's opinion, but we already know it's not as Dan skewers their efforts even further by insisting to Manu that it needs a jus.
But the boys, it turns out, are headed for even bigger problems when their lamb unevenly cooks, with bits that are blue and others overdone in the same piece of roulade.
Jenna's "shocked" – that's "Shocked!", people.
To make matters more indigestible, their guests find string still stuck to the limp lumps of meat.
Sam's nervous smile is now growing so broad that Manu is questioning his sincerity. The Frenchman almost looks murderous, but Sam manages to convince him that he always smiles, despite the "punch in the face" from the judges.
Jenna now admits that she's quite aggressive and it seems that Luke's picked up on it as well, that's if you consider "dark, dark chocolate" aggressive.
So back to the kitchen for Chris and Sam's last hope – the dessert.
In a pastiche of 24, with Chris as Kiefer Sutherland, an internal countdown begins to the creme caramels coming out of their trays. Will they or won't they explode on the plate in a puddle of creme?
It's looking good for the pair, but then disaster strikes!
At least two creme caramels have failed and one of them looks like sick on a plate, which Jenna is quick to point out.
So now they have the job of guessing who to serve the desserts to, for the least catty reaction.
Sensibly they choose Luke and Scott. Even though Luke appears to be all abs of steel and quickly saw through the boys' move, it turns out he's just a fluffy orange marshmallow.
He and Scott give them a generous six for the meal, the sick included.
Even Manu thinks they're "bloody unlucky" because his dessert was fantastic with a brilliant eggy flavour and good flavour combination.
So at the end of the night, Jenna and Joanna give an unsurprising five, Dan and Steph also give five, while Lisa and Candice and Samuel and Ali give sixes.
The judges agree with nothing higher than a five for the first two courses, with Pete sinking Chris and Sam's hopes with a four for their lamb.
But it was the dessert that saved their chops, with an eight from Pete and a nine from Manu - giving them an overall score of 64.
Suddenly Jenna's handsome hero is appearing a bit distasteful since, in her oh-so important opinion, the dessert was not up to scratch.
Next week it's Lisa and Candice's turn. Will they keep My Kit-chen Rules' ratings hopes and dreams alive? Sounds like it's time to consult the tarot.

Officials with Mazda Motor Corp. have announced a recall affecting more than 161,000 Mazda6 sedans sold in the United States due to a problem with the screws that hold side doors in place.
The recall affects model years 2009 through 2013, the Japanese auto maker said, according to documents filed with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Officials said there is a concern that if door latch mounting screws come loose, the door could open while the vehicle is in motion.
Vehicle owners will be notified by Oct. 18, company officials said.
Owners may also contact Mazda at 1-800-222-5500 and reference recall number 7013I, or contact NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236 or online at www.safercar.gov.

Image of man
Police have issued an image of a man whose identity remains unknown.
The mans body was discovered on waste ground on Westwood Park Drive, Wigan, on 15 January 2013.
There were no suspicious circumstances discovered by police at the scene.
He had no form of identification on him and his fingerprints and DNA checks produced no results from any database in the UK.
He had a bus ticket in his pocket, dated 14 January 2013, timed 6.38am, from Leigh to Wigan.
At this time no-one fitting his description has been reported missing and his description has been circulated nationally via the missing person's bureau.
He is described as white with a olive-skinned complexion, short cut brown hair, about 5ft 8ft.
He was wearing blue Nike tracksuit bottoms, a blue padded gillet, a McKenzie hooded blue top with grey cuffs, light blue Fred Perry T shirt and dark blue / light blue adidas trainers.
Detective Sergeant Graham Clare of Wigan CID said: Since this mans body was found we have carried out extensive enquiries both in Manchester and nationwide to establish this mans identity.
Unfortunately these have not yielded the results we were looking for so the next stage of our investigation is to go public with this.
I find it inconceivable that no-one would miss a man who has not been seen alive for at least a month.
From his appearance it may be that he is not a British national but possibly of eastern European origin.
Our priority is to trace his family, inform of them of his death and return his body to them.
Anyone who can help identify the man is asked to call Wigan CID on 0161 856 7962.

In terms of a rich golfing history, you'd be hard-pressed to find a place that tops the Peach State in that department.
Georgia is the home of Bobby Jones, the Masters, East Lake Golf Club, the NCAA national champion Augusta State men's golf team (as well as runner-up Univ. of Georgia), the 2011 PGA Championship at Atlanta Athletic Club -- and, more than anything -- the place where you can find many of the best public courses in the country.
That's where you come into the equation. For this week's, 'A Quick Nine,' feature, we tasked our PGA.com Facebook fans with a difficult question: What is the best places to play in the state of Georgia?
There are so many great tracks to choose from, certainly there's a strong argument that another dozen or so courses belong on this list. Apologies to many courses that didn't make this listing but there are no wrong answers. Here are the courses YOU selected this week:
1. The Frog in Villa Rica, Ga. Doesn't the name alone make you want to check this place out? One of Atlanta's top public courses, The Frog was designed by Tom Fazio, which means you'd better pay attention on those greens.
Facebook fan quote:
"The Frog at the Georgian resort in Villa Rica Georgia. Feels like your putting greens at Augusta!" -- Stephen Conley
2. Arrowhead Pointe at Lake Richard B. Russell in Elberton, Ga. Listed by GolfWeek Magazine as the seventh best municipal course in the nation, Arrowhead Pointe is a Georgia State Park golf course. Here's the description on its website:
"The 6,800-yard course is situated on a peninsula within the state park and the water views are stunning, with 10 of the 18 holes skirting Lake Richard B. Russell. Bob Walker's design has been compared to the more expensive courses at Lake Oconee because of the challenging layout and the scenic vistas. One exception to that comparison is that there are no visible lakefront houses from any vantage point on the course, consistent with the state park golf course theme of "no crowds, no houses, no noise."
Facebook fan quote:
"I live in Georgia, and in my opinion, the best public course is Arrowhead Pointe. Great lake course with excellent scenery." -- Frankie Peeples
3. Forest Hills Golf Club in Augusta, Ga. Contrary to popular belief, there isn't just one great course in Augusta, Ga. Forest Hills is the home course of the National Champion Augusta State Jaguars. Winners of past tournaments held at Forest Hills include Bobby Jones, Phil Mickelson and Davis Love III.
Facebook fan quote:
"Forest Hills is a great course in Augusta with a ton of history. It's where Bobby Jones started his historic 1930 season and the home of the back-to-back National Champion Augusta State Jaguars!" -- Jason Newsome
4. Sea Island's Seaside course. Receiving a plethora of votes and accolades, this highly-heralded track has kept elite company in the state (often compared to Augusta National, East Lake and Peachtree Golf Club) in terms of prestige and beauty. It is consistently ranked on many lists as one of the "must plays" in the country.
5. The University of Georgia Golf Course. Easily one of the top collegiate-based golf courses in the country, this great track is now home to the Nationwide Tour's Stadion Classic.
Facebook fan quote: Clark Spratlin UGA and Sea Island Seaside are the best anyone can play!
6. Southern Hills Golf and Country Club in Hawkinsville, Ga. Not to be confused with the Southern Hills in Tulsa, Okla., in 2002, a Golf Digest panel voted this Southern Hills one of the top five golfing values in the United States and third best for service in the entire country.
Facebook fan quote:
"Southern Hills in Hawkinsville GA. great course and best bargain in Georiga!" -- Kenneth McDonald
7. The Oconee Course at Reynolds Plantation in Greensboro, Ga. This beautiful course on Lake Oconee hosted the 2007 PGA Cup and the 2007 Chick-fil-A Bowl Alma Mater. The views are spectacular and if you can't relax and enjoy a round of golf here, we feel bad for you! We'll give a special shout out to all the courses at Reynolds Plantation, as all of them - especially Great Waters - also received plenty of love from our Facebook Fans.
Facebook fan quote:
"The Oconee Course at Reynolds Plantation." -- Marc McGowan
8. Cherokee Run Golf Club in Conyers, Ga. It's an Arnold Palmer design that opened in 1995 and is extremely affordable at just $36 Monday-Thursday with a cart.
Facebook fan quote:
"I have only played Cherokee Run (in Georgia), but it was one of my fav(orite) courses I have ever played." -- Jason Gately
9. The Hampton Club, St. Simons Island, Ga. Take a look at the course description from its website:
"With four signature holes highlighting play on The King and Prince Golf Course's back nine, the entire 18-hole, Par 72 course combines for an experience that always finds it on golf's "must-play" lists on the Florida to Myrtle Beach circuit. Unique parkland design that play through the marsh from island to island on the back nine. Oak Trees line many of our beautiful fairways."
Facebook fan quote:
"Hampton Club at St. Simons Island." -- Dewey Graham

There is no Penllyn Collectables watermark on the original photo.
This is an original photo from the D.W.S. Evans collection, who had an interesting career. Mr Evans lived in Stanwell Road, Penarth in the late 1960s. He was presumably born circa 1920, had scouting links and we have photos of him in the 1930s and 1940s at scout camps and a photo of him as flag holder in 1939 for 25th Cardiff troop. He appears to have gone to Nottingham University, but at one stage he played an extra in a WWII Chetnik Resistance propaganda film (Undercover, 1943) when he was wounded by a bayonet! After the war he was employed by Boots in Nottingham, although he was also a Civil Defence Scientific Intelligence Officer and attended the Home Office Civil Defence School at Easingwold in 1959. In later life he was a mason. He was married in 1951 (to Audrey) and had two children (Philip and Robert). The last photos in the album are dated 1968.
Interesting photos include
