Play resuming at NCAA regional
ERIE — After a weather delay of a little more than an hour, the suspension of play has been lifted Friday afternoon at the NCAA men's golf regional at Colorado National Golf Club.
Only a handful of groups had completed their second round when a horn was sounded to suspend play due to an approaching thunderstorm from the west.
Players headed back out to the course at 4:50 p.m., some shuttled in vans.
The 54-hole event ends Saturday. The top five teams advance to the NCAA Championship tournament in Stillwater, Okla.

"Gorilla" by Anthony Browne (book review)
"Gorilla," Anthony Browne's lovely story about a lonely girl who longs to spend time with her father, celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. The re-issued book features a luminous cover of the gorilla glancing softly at happy young Hannah.
In a narrative that begs for "Cat's In the Cradle" to be playing in the background, little Hannah tries to get some time with her perpetually busy father. (Too bad "salaryman" isn't an English word.)
But her father is too absorbed by his work to even answer her questions, much less yield to her requests for a trip to the zoo to look at the gorillas. When he's finally not working, he's too tired for her.
Browne's poignant illustrations show the girl and her father in a dimly-lit house. The father labors under a desk lamp or buries himself deep in the newspaper. Hannah tries to catch his attention until finally she gives up and watches TV in a corner.

Botox may be the rage in Hollywood, but Salma Hayek can't stand it.
"No surgical tweaks. No Botox either," the voluptuous actress told InStyle's June 2010 issue when asked if she'd consider cosmetic surgery. "I think it is terrible, these girls in their late 20s injecting their faces and lips. One told me, 'If I kill my muscles now, I'll never get wrinkles.' Can you imagine?"
While Salma has no plans to change her looks, she has changed her name. The actress told the mag she is now going by Salma Hayek Pinault, her second surname coming from her husband, French businessman Francios-Henri Pinault.
Salma said she changed her name because her beloved daughter with Francois-Henri, Valentina, 3, was curious why she just had one last name.
"It was Valentina's request. I didn't think about it until she brought it up," Salma told the mag. " We were shooting a film and she saw my chair with my name on it. She said, 'What does it say there?' And I said, 'Salma Hayek.' And she said, 'What about Pinault? Why not Pinault?' Because here people say 'Madame Pinault.' I said to myself, 'This is who I am now. I'm starting a whole new life. I've never been happier. Why shouldn't I share it with the people who have been supporting me my whole career, who have been with me since the beginning?'"
Salma also opened up about Francios-Henri, whom she married last year.
"I love him. I ridiculously love him," she said. "He makes it easy for me. He's so open, and his family is too — so international — and fascinating and warm… Plus, he and I have the same interests, which is wonderful."

Several of my friends and coworkers live with bipolar disorder and I thought that I was pretty knowledgeable about the condition. But after reading Derek Thompson's book Somewhere Over the Rainbow, I've Lost My Damn Mind: A Manic's Mood Chart I gained an even deeper insight into what it means to live with the illness.
As opposed to being written in a chronological time sequence and instead organized by mood states, the book is actually a series of journal entries and revealing conversations between Thompson, who lives with bipolar disorder, and his therapist.
Through revealing and brutally honest entries, Thompson shares the rollercoaster of his condition through the lens of his mood states. Through this method, the reader is able to dive into the condition with him and gain insight into the experience. Sometimes this is unsettling, but it is always revealing.
Even in the tough times, Thompson maintains a solid sense of humor, which helps temper the seriousness of the subject matter. What was particularly insightful for me were the detailed descriptions of the emergence of a manic mood state. At one point, Thompson is on a train at an airport when a manic episode jolts him, seemingly out of nowhere, into his illness, hijacking his plans and sending him back to recovery. Several times, after launching onto a promising career path, his illness abruptly boomerangs him back to his family home for rest and recovery. And while Thompson is clearly discouraged, he finds a way to resolve and strive for another shot at his dreams. These entries were particularly well written and helped me navigate through my own feelings and confront my own unawareness and judgment to allow a greater understanding to emerge. As I traveled through the rhythm of these paths, empathy and understanding were cultivated, not just for Thompson but for others for whom I care greatly.
I understand better what it may be like for someone who may be moving along through their life, making plans and proceeding with regular ease only to have the rug pulled out from under them by the creep of the darkness of depression or the carnival of mania. And how, at times, unpredictable and out-of-the-blue the mood change can occur as if literally a tornado appeared out of a clear sky to alter the entire landscape.
Thompson is clearly a gifted writer. And although at times the entries became repetitious, the book was well designed and edited so that, in the end, I was left wiser and grateful, feeling better equipped to be the friend, the coworker, the family member to those whom I am proud to call friend—those courageous men and women and children I love who live with bipolar.

No referees in politics
CHICAGO — Imagine a large room. Imagine a larger room. Then double it in size. You are now in the offices of OFA.
OFA stands for Obama for America — an homage, perhaps, to the fictional "The West Wing" and its "Bartlet for America" theme — a way of suggesting that some candidates do not run for president, but for the nation.
Story Continued Below
Which is all very nice except the 400 or so people in this room sitting at rows of desks that seem to recede into the horizon and below the curvature of the earth are all tapping away at laptops and desktops in pursuit of a single-minded goal: the reelection of Barack Obama as president.
The office is in a tower that overlooks Chicago's magnificent Millennium Park to the south — David Axelrod's office overlooks "Cloud Gate," the 110-ton, polished-to-a-mirror, $23 million, stainless steel "bean" that eventually every tourist in America will pose in front of — and the lakefront to the east.
Not that many of the worker bees get this view. They see desks and desks and more desks, a stuffed animal here, a bouquet (possibly plastic) there, and state flags hanging from the ceiling everywhere, a none-too-subtle reminder that presidential elections are about winning states — states that add up to 270 electoral votes. (About another 400 Obama campaign staffers are out working in those states.)
The average age of the workers at the headquarters is 26, which makes Axelrod, 57, a father figure. Another father figure, he is 51 and president of the United States, visited headquarters recently and was, like most visitors, blown away.
"I think he was overwhelmed by the sea of humanity," Axelrod said. "He stayed for a good hour. He played Ping-Pong with some people and listened to a kid on the staff describe how he proposed to his girlfriend."
Headquarter visits by the candidate are disruptive — work comes to a halt — but are also inspirational. "When the guy on the poster comes in and he's who you hoped he would be, it energizes everybody," Axelrod said.
"Don't win this for me," Obama told the staff. "Win this for you."
There was applause and more than one teary eye. And then everybody got back to work.
The room, gigantic as it is, represents only half the Obama floor space in the tower and houses only the communications, press, research and policy staffs.

(Redirected from RUSKÂ)
RUSKĀ is a Primitive Quendian root given no signification, except from what can be determined from its derivatives.[1]
[edit] Derivatives
[edit] Other etymologies
The related Quenya words russa "red-haired" and russe "(a head or pelt of) red hair" show derivation from another, more basic root *RUS, of which RUSKĀ is obviously an extended form.
[edit] Inspiration
Tolkien translates the Quenya word russa as "russet"[3]. The English word russet derives from Latin russus "reddish".
There is a possibility that the similarities of both form and sense between the Elvish root and English/Latin words is intentional.

(final w/vg edits)
|Line 21:
|Line 21:
NOTE: If none of the entries sufficiently illustrates the judging factor, the judges' panel reserves the right not to make an award.
Revision as of 11:03, 16 April 2009
With the ALA's website implementation of the Collage content management system, GODORT web managers were surprised to find that the GODORT logo adopted in 1991 was not available in a scalable electronic format. GODORT's logo was the winning entry in a contest announced by the GODORT Ad Hoc Committee on the 20th Anniversary in the June 1991 issue of DttP. The "Open Book" logo was designed by Courtenay Diederich and was submitted by Jack Carey, Director of Communications for the Congressional Information Service. This logo specifies all levels of government information activity encompassed by GODORT: international, U.S. federal, state, and local. The book or document in the logo is open, suggesting access.
Today, GODORT needs a logo that's scalable and web-ready. As before, our round table turns to its membership for creative designs which reflect our government information ideals. Our goal is to implement a design that works on the web and in print. While the judging panel cannot accept cocktail napkin doodles, it will be happy to evaluate your vector EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) file or a 300 dpi TIFF/Photoshop/EPS file on its support of GODORT's purpose, reflecting all levels of government information activity, originality, and artistic merit.
Entries should be submitted via email to the GODORT Web Managers for consideration by December 1st, 2009. Submission guidelines are as follows:
- Designs must support GODORT's Purpose and reflect all levels of government information activity (international/foreign, U.S. federal and state, and local). Designs will be judged on originality and artistic merit.
- Designs may be submitted by anyone. There is no limit on the number of designs submitted by each contestant.
- Each entry must be submitted as either a vector EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) file or as a 300 dpi TIFF/Photoshop/EPS file.
- The winning entry will be featured in DttP along with an interview of the person who submitted it.
- Entries must be received by December 1, 2009 with the winning entry to be announced following the Midwinter Meeting.
- Entries should be emailed to godort-web AT googlegroups DOT com with the subject line "GODORT logo contest entry" and each entry must include the following information:
- a. name of contestant and contact information, including
- b. title and institution (if applicable)
- c. mailing address
- d. e-mail address
- e. telephone number
- f. the attached file with the logo design as explained in #3 above.
NOTE: If none of the entries sufficiently illustrates the judging factor, the judges' panel reserves the right not to make an award.
GODORT shall acquire the prominent exclusive rights to use the winning design in any form, at any time and in any manner without any additional consideration. As a condition for entry, each contestant shall agree that - upon notification that his/her design is the award winner - the entire right, title, and interest to the design shall vest in GODORT or its assigns.
GODORT reserves the right to modify the winning design to make it more suitable for issuance in graphic form.
GODORT is not responsible or liable in any way for loss or damage to or from the entry design submitted. This competition is subject to all local, state, and Federal laws and regulations, including trademark, copyright, and patent laws.

Casa de Solana
In 2013, this St Augustine bed and breakfast (located in the historic district) celebrates 250 years! Casa de Solana takes its name from the original owner, Don Manuel Lorenzo Solana, a member of one of the city�s first Spanish families. He was 23 years old when the British claimed St. Augustine in 1763 and was one of only eight men (all Mounted Dragoons of the Spanish Army) permitted to remain in St. Augustine after the British took over. He built a tabby house on the property that year and soon after married London-born Protestant Mary Mitchell (with whom he had 2 children). Not recognized by the Catholic Church, that marriage later dissipated. With his second wife, Menorcan Mary Mastres, he fathered 11 more Solanas! Their house was well known to offer haven to Native Americans, injured soldiers, and any traveler in need of respite. Despite the harshness of the times, the Solana Family did persevere, clinging to the love. Today, Casa de Solana is a 10-room, full-service St. Augustine bed and breakfast,

Niall Horan's Face to Appear on Hometown Currency in 2014
This face!
There are honors and then there are H-O-N-O-R-S. One Direction singer Niall Horan's handsome mug will be featured on the Gar in 2014. What's the Gar? Oh, it's just the tourism currency in his hometown of Mullingar in Ireland. So when we say Niall Horan is "money," he's literally money!
The Gar is unique tourism currency that was launched in 2011. The first note featured writer James Joyce, who referenced the town in his works. John Joe Nevin, a silver medalist and boxer in the Olympics, replaced Joyce in the summer of 2012.
Now, the Mullingar Chamber has decided to put Horan's insanely attractive visage on the bills for 2014, according to a local paper in the region.
It's a strategic economic move, since the town hopes that Directioners will venture to Mullingar and spend some time, and some of the Niall Horan Gar, while there.
Directioners, make a pilgrimage to Mullingar and spend some Niall Horan dough while there. And save this ephemera for your collection of 1D memorabilia,
Some pop stars win Grammys or rack up 40 million Twitter followers. Niall Horan trumps them all that with his own freakin' money. Dat's money, yo!

Nov. 3, 2006
Santa Clara, Calif. - With very successful 2006 regular seasons wrapping up this weekend for the Santa Clara University men's and women's soccer teams, Santa Clara Athletics will host a Selection Show viewing and press conference for both teams in The Bronco in Benson Memorial Center on the campus of Santa Clara University on Monday, Nov. 6. ESPNEWS will air the unveiling of the 64-team women's field between 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. PT, and the men's 48-team field will be revealed between 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. PT.
Immediately following the announcement of each sport's tournament field, there will be a question-and-answer session with each team's head coach and selected players. Media members that would like to attend should contact the media relations department at 408-554-2114. All Santa Clara faculty, staff, students, and fans are also invited to attend this annual event.
The Santa Clara men (11-3-4, 7-1-2 WCC), under the guidance of fourth-year head coach Cameron Rast (`92), enter their final weekend of action having already clinched the program's ninth West Coast Conference title by virtue of last Sunday's 2-0 win over Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles. Senior Keith DeVey leads the team with five goals, while junior Peter Lowry and freshmen Jeff Cosgriff and Amaechi Igwe have all netted four goals. The rock-solid defense, featuring Matt Hatzke, Matt Marquess, and Jamil Roberts as well as goalkeeper Joseph Buttitta, the WCC Player of the Month in October, boasts seven shutouts and a goals against average of 0.85.
This weekend, the men will face Portland at Buck Shaw Stadium Friday night at 7:00 p.m., before honoring seniors DeVey and Erik Ustruck in Senior Day ceremonies prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. match against Gonzaga.
With the WCC's automatic NCAA Tournament berth in hand, the Broncos will eagerly await word on if they have earned one of the tournament's prized Top-16 seeds, which would ensure a bye into the second round where they would host the winner of a preliminary round match.
On the women's side of things, head coach Jerry Smith, in his 20th season on the Mission Campus, has positioned his fiery squad for a chance at its ninth WCC title this weekend. With a victory over the Saint Mary's Gaels Saturday afternoon in Moraga, the Broncos will clinch at least a share of the WCC title, and by virtue of their 3-2 victory over second-place Portland on Nov. 19, will receive the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, the team's 18th consecutive postseason trip.
Junior forward Meagan Snell, the team's leading scorer with 11 goals and 25 points, and senior defender and team captain Marian Dalmy, the WCC's leading scorer among defenders with five goals and six assists, have paced the Bronco attack all year with their clutch play and six combined game-winning goals. The notoriously tough defense, which along with Dalmy includes senior outside back Hillary Schwarzbach and central defenders Dani Potts and Lauren Zealear, has combined to blank 11 opponents in 2006, while goalkeepers Meagan McCray (seven shutouts, 0.63 GAA) and Julie Ryder (one shutout, 0.51 GAA) form arguably the best goalkeeping tandem in the nation.
The team's trek to an 11th College Cup will begin with Monday's selection show, in which the Broncos will hope for one of the tournament's four No. 1 seeds. Last season, as a No. 2 seed, the Broncos reached the quarterfinal round for the 11th consecutive year, extending the nation's longest current streak.
First round matches for the women's tournament will kick off Thursday and Friday, Nov. 9-10, while on the men's side, preliminary round matches are set to take place on Nov. 10-11. Times and sites are to be determined.
The men's and women's NCAA College Cups will both take place over the weekend of Dec. 1-3, with the men playing in St. Louis, Mo. and the women in Cary, N.C.

Suppose a deck of cards consists of $a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_k$ cards of $k$ types, where there are $a_i$ indistinguishable cards of each type. How many shuffles does it take, on average, to randomize the deck? For example, $a_i=4$ and $k=13$ gives a standard deck of playing cards; $a_i=4$ for $1\le i\le9$, $i_{10}=16$, $k=10$ gives the cards for blackjack.
In general I would expect that this would be an easier task than shuffling a deck where all cards are indistinguishable. A standard deck has about 226 bits of entropy, while the same deck without suits has only 166 bits of entropy.
Consider a standard deck of 52 playing cards. Bayer & Diaconis (famously) showed that, under a certain model, it takes 7 riffle shuffles to sufficiently randomize the deck. Salem applies a different methodology and gets 6 idealized riffle shuffles. Mann uses a much stricter measurement and determines 11.7 as the expected stopping time for the riffle unshuffle (and thus the riffle shuffle) to randomize the deck.
In particular, Mann gives a formula: $$E(\mathbf{T})=\sum_{k=0}^\infty\left[1-{2^k\choose n}\frac{n!}{2^{nk}}\right]$$ which lends itself to generalization nicely.
I'm partial to Mann's method, but my question applies broadly.

Hi Folks,
On this page you will find the original Excel Snowball Calculator. I have offered a succession of snowball spreadsheets since 1999 to help people get out of debt with a proven, reliable strategy: the debt snowball. More than a half million people have accessed my page, and hundreds of thousands have downloaded the free spreadsheets.
You can still download the basic calculator, which covers 5 credit cards, for free. The advanced Auto Snowball Calculator handles introductory interest rates, amortizing auto and home loans, and will automatically calculate the best snowball payoff strategy. It is available for $5 by simply clicking on the "Buy Now" button. You will be directed to paypal where you can use your paypal account or a credit or debit card. If you do not have a paypal account or credit/debit card, you can email me for my mail address to send a check. Once I receive your payment, I will email you the spreadsheet within 24 hours in most cases.
One payment will be sufficient to receive any of the calculators, so if you ask for the 5-account Auto Snowball Calculator (which is faster), but then realize you want the larger 10 or 20-account calculator, I will send you that one as well. If it does not work for you, I will refund your $5.
Thanks for your patronage!

Choose Auto Snowball Calculator that fits your needs. The 5 account version is fast and trim, the 20 account version is slower but obviously handles lots of accounts, and the 10 account version is in the middle. Don't worry, you can always change your mind later and I'll send you another version for no extra charge.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- In its final home game of the regular season, the Tennessee Tech softball team made sure it would be a memorable Senior Day, as the Golden Eagles completed its sweep of Austin Peay Sunday, with a 3-0 victory.
Junior Holly Thomas, who earned her 14th victory in game one Saturday, kept rolling as she pitched her fifth shutout of the season, fanning five Lady Gov batters in the process.
Thomas remained lights out through most of her seven innings, with the lone exception coming in the third inning. APSU managed to get runners on the corners with two gone. Austin Peay's Jessica Ryan cranked a sharp grounder to the left side, but Tech third baseman Brittney Spalding made a diving stop to get the force out at first to end the inning.
APSU pitcher Morgan Brewer, who gave up six runs in two innings in game one of the series, had a much more favorable start as she kept the Golden Eagles off the scoreboard through the first two innings.
In the bottom of the third, Tech senior Lacie Coquerille opened the scoring with an RBI-single through the left side to put Tech up 1-0.
Both pitchers cruised through the fourth and fifth innings, but in the bottom of the sixth, Tech senior Kaleigh Gates crushed a two-run dinger down the left field line to extend Tech's lead to 3-0.
Thomas sat the Lady Gov batters down 1-2-3 in the top of the seventh to secure the victory.
With its win, Tech took a half-game lead over Murray State for the final spot in the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament. Both Murray State and Morehead State were rained out Sunday.
Tech (21-24, 12-14 OVC) wraps up its 2011 regular season with a three game series at UT Martin next weekend. The first pitch of Saturday's doubleheader is set for 1 p.m.

Jesse Ortiz became the First Assistant Women's
Volleyball Coach at Ferris State in 2011 and will embark on his
third campaign with the Bulldogs in 2013.
Ortiz's primary responsibilities involve training, recruiting, scouting, and video breakdown.
Ortiz arrived to Ferris State in early August 2011 after serving four seasons (2007-10) as the First Assistant Coach at fellow NCAA Division II member Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park, Calif. As a member of Bear Grassl's coaching staff (2008-10), Ortiz helped guide the Seawolves to three consecutive NCAA-II West Regional Tournament appearances. In his four years at SSU, the Seawolves registered a combined 76-39 overall record (.661 winning pct.) and compiled a 53-29 mark (.646) in the prestigeous California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA). Both the 2008 and 2009 teams produced 23-win seasons with 23-7 and 23-8 overall records, respectively.
"We are extremely excited to add Jesse to our coaching staff," said FSU head coach Tia Brandel-Wilhelm. "Jesse has a great deal of experience with high-level NCAA Division II volleyball which will allow him to make a quick transition to our program. Jesse is not only a great student of the game, but he's also a student of success.
"His ability to create situations for players and teams to improve has been an immediate benefit to our team," added Brandel-Wilhelm.
Along with assisting the Sonoma State Women's program, Ortiz was Head Coach for the university's Men's Club program from 2004-10. He also helped the Men's Club team make multiple NIRSA National Championship Tournament appearances and five top 10 national championship berths. He also spent 2004-11 as the Varsity Coach at Petaluma High School (Calif).
As a graduate of Sonoma State, Ortiz majored in art studio. He was a member of the school's Men's Club Volleyball team and served as its president from 2002-04. Ortiz helped the 2004 SSU Men's Club team to a Northern California Coast Collegiate Volleyball Championship crown and a ninth-place finish in the National Championships.
The son of Jesse and Sharon Ortiz of Lemoore, Calif., Jesse graduated in 1996 from Lemoore High School. Ortiz, who has two brothers and a sister, competed in football and track.

- 1 pound hanger, skirt, or flank steak
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more t
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 medium tomato (about 6 ounces), halved
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot
- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup plus 5 tsp. olive oil, divided
- 4 spring onions or 6 scallions, bulbs halved, dark-green parts discarded
- 5 1/2-inch-thick slices ciabatta
- 8 cups mixed summer lettuces (such as mizuna, baby mustard greens, and tatsoi) t
- 3/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn into 1/2-inch strips
Recipe Preparation
Season steak with 1 tsp. salt and pepper; set aside. Grate cut sides of tomato on coarse holes of a box grater into a medium bowl down to the skin; discard skin. Add shallot and vinegar; whisk in 1/4 cup oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside. DO AHEAD: Tomato vinaigrette can be made 1 day ahead.
Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high. Toss spring onions in a medium bowl with 1 tsp. oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill onions until just tender, 2–3 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into 2-inch pieces.
Grill steak until seared and cooked to desired doneness, 3–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on steak's thickness. Transfer to a cutting board. Let rest, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, make croutons: Brush both sides of bread slices with remaining 4 tsp. oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill bread until dark golden brown and nicely charred in spots, about 2 minutes per side. Set toast aside until cool enough to handle, then break toast into roughly 1-inch pieces.
Thinly slice steak against the grain. Toss lettuces, basil, spring onions, croutons, and some of the vinaigrette in a large bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add steak and toss gently to coat. Serve with remaining vinaigrette alongside.

Vote early and vote often. On the biggest show in prime time, that old joke isn't a joke at all. It's the "American Idol" way of doing business.
Last week, some 18 million people watched Chula Vista's Jessica Sanchez compete against Phillip Phillips and Joshua Ledet for a spot in the Top Two. Nearly 90 million votes later, Jessica and Phillips made it to the finale. After Tuesday night's performance show, the usual "Idol" voting lunacy will begin again. And what a maddening madness it is.
"It seems random and totally capricious," said Reuben Gann, a postdoctoral researcher at the Georgia Institute of Technology who tries to make scientific sense of the voting on his
idolanalytics.com website. "You try to build a numeric model, then everything goes haywire. You are trying to be precise about something that is not very precise."
And by "not very precise" Gann probably means "totally insane." On "Idol," fans can cast as many phone and text votes as Fox's two-hour time limit and their own manual dexterity will allow. They can also vote on Facebook, with a limit of 50 votes per account ID.
Millions of people voting millions of times over multiple platforms. What could possibly go wrong? According to a quick tour of "Idol" conspiracy-theory history, the precise answer to that question is oodles.
After the 2003 finale, "Idol" watchers worried that overburdened phone lines were responsible for Ruben Studdard squeaking out a 130,000-vote win over the much-loved Clay Aiken. During Season 5, Chris Daughtry's surprisingly early ouster was blamed on his calls being misrouted to Katharine McPhee. (Although there is no evidence that actually happened.) The inexplicably long run of Season 6's Sanjaya Malakar was chalked up to the Vote for the Worst website, which encouraged mischief makers to ruin "Idol" by keeping the vocally challenged Malakar on the show long after his expiration date.
And when San Diego's Adam Lambert lost the "Idol" crown to Kris Allen in the 2009 finale, fans and members of the media blamed corporate sponsor AT&T, which provided free cell phones and "power texting" lessons to Allen fans during viewing parties held the night of the last performance show. One nimble guest told reporters she had voted for Allen more than 10,000 times.
In other words, "American Idol" voting is not an exact science. While host Ryan Seacrest announces the vote totals during the weekly results show (last week's was a season record of "nearly 90 million"), the number of votes received by each contestant is not revealed. And if there is any way to tell how many people actually voted, Fox isn't making those numbers public, either.
"The reason 'Idol' voting is hard to understand is because we don't ever have the results," said Gann, who predicted Jessica was going to be eliminated last week. "We don't even know where people are ranked. We don't know how close it was. If we knew that, we could probably do a better job (of predicting)."
We do know the trends. Four of the 10 "American Idol" winners are women, including Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood, the two most commercially successful "Idols" in the show's history. But five of the last six "Idol" winners have been white guys from the South or the Midwest, a description that fits Phillip Phillips of Leesburg, Ga., like one of his trademark gray T-shirts.
What does this mean for Jessica and her fans? Maybe heartbreak, maybe not. Despite his professional love of predictability, Gann has encouraging words for anyone who likes their "American Idol" cheese served with a side of voters' surprise.
"There is no way to predict how many times someone will vote. If it was one person, one vote, it would be a little more predictable. But with this system, there is another level of insecurity," Gann said with a sigh. "In 'Idol,' there are always reasons to watch the results show, because even people like me can't predict it."

The second full-length partnership of Jon Foreman (Switchfoot) and Sean Watkins (Nickel Creek, Works Progress Administration), "FICTION FAMILY REUNION" sees these two distinctive artists once again offering up their idiosyncratic blend of folk flavor, classic pop arrangements, and expertly etched songcraft. Where 2009's self-titled debut was almost entirely self-created by the two musician/songwriters working in their own home studios, the new album finds the duo joined by touring bassist Tyler Chester and drummer Aaron Redfield, both now full-fledged Family members. With Foreman and Watkins leading on vocals, guitars, and any other instrument that might happen to strike their fancy, Fiction Family have conjured a remarkably rich collection defined by its collaborative chemistry. Songs such as the tender "Damaged" and the soulful first single, "Up Against The Wall," reverberate with lyrical resonance and sonic ingenuity, the extraordinary natural sound of a gifted band in full flight.
"FICTION FAMILY REUNION" was recorded at Switchfoot's Spot X Studio in Carlsbad, CA over a series of sessions spanning 2010 to early 2012, the lengthy process necessitated by Foreman and Watkins' always busy schedules. A family in more than just name only, the band was joined on a number of tracks by Nickel Creek fiddle player Sara Watkins and multi-instrumentalist John Mark Painter.
Fiction Family will celebrate the release of "FICTION FAMILY REUNION" with a major North American tour presented by To Write Love on Her Arms, a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide. TWLOHA's "Heavy & Light Tour" is slated to hit 15 cities across the U.S. and Canada, beginning in mid-January 2013. Full details will be announced shortly – please visit www.twloha.com for more information.
Foreman and Watkins first became fast friends when Switchfoot and Nickel Creek shared the top of the bill at their hometown music festival, San Diego's famed Street Scene. E-mail addresses were exchanged and the duo began writing songs with little goal other than that of two friends sharing the joy of making music together. Recording proved the obvious next step and in 2009, Fiction Family's eponymous debut album was released to both popular success and critical fanfare. "(Foreman and Watkins) make a pretty solid team," noted Paste, continuing, "Foreman is an excellent writer, singer and arranger, and Watkins' accompaniment on harmony vocals, guitar, bass, keys – even mandolin, ukulele and 12-string – lighten the intensity and add a rich earthiness." NPR's Ken Tucker praised "FICTION FAMILY" as "delicate, industrious and intricate," with Billboard hailing its songs as "richly crafted and intriguingly rendered." Slant commended "the duo's intricate vocal harmonies…and stately chamber-pop arrangement(s)," while the Washington Post ruled the album to be "a solid set of near-duets from two diverse, accomplished musicians." "Foreman and Watkins have been able to produce something truly different from what they have done in the past," proclaimed AbsolutePunk.net, applauding "FICTION FAMILY" as "a collection of finely-crafted, well-thought out tunes (from) one of music's most talented guitarists and one of its most gifted songwriters."
Newark, NJ-based Rock Ridge Music has signed Fiction Family to a label deal and is now set to release the band's eagerly anticipated sophomore album (with distribution via ADA). "FICTION FAMILY REUNION" arrives in stores and all DSPs on January 29th.

Incline Therapeutics Announces Acquisition of IONSYS(TM) and $43 Million Series A Financing
Jun 21, 2010, 04:00 ET
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Incline Therapeutics, Inc., a privately-held, hospital-focused specialty pharmaceutical company, announced today that it has entered into an agreement to acquire the rights to IONSYS™ (fentanyl iontophoretic transdermal system) from ALZA Corporation and completed a $43 million Series A financing.
IONSYS™ Acquisition
Under the terms of the agreement, Incline will receive an exclusive, worldwide license to IONSYS and will acquire certain other assets related to IONSYS.
IONSYS™ (fentanyl iontophoretic transdermal system) is an investigational product candidate intended to provide patient-controlled analgesia for adult inpatients requiring opioids following surgery. IONSYS is a compact, needle-free, self-contained, pre-programmed system designed to be applied to the skin on the upper arm or chest and activated by patients double clicking a button on the system. A generally imperceptible electrical current then actively delivers a small dose of the short-acting opioid analgesic fentanyl directly through the skin and into the systemic circulation.
IONSYS was approved by both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in 2006; however, IONSYS is not currently marketed anywhere in the world. Before marketing IONSYS, regulatory approval must be sought from both the FDA and EMA for new patient safety features being developed into the system. Additionally, FDA approval will require an acceptable Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) to manage risks associated with fentanyl contained in IONSYS, which is subject to potential abuse and misuse.
"We believe IONSYS is an exceptional asset around which to form Incline Therapeutics," said Alan Levy, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer and Director of Incline. "We look forward to building upon the product to accelerate the development of IONSYS toward potential approval and launch."
Series A Financing
The $43 million Series A equity financing was led by Frazier Healthcare Ventures. The venture syndicate also includes 5AM Ventures, Technology Partners, Adams Street Partners, Saints Capital Partners, and Emergent Medical Partners. In connection with the financing, James Topper, M.D., Ph.D., General Partner of Frazier Healthcare Ventures, James Young, Ph.D., Venture Partner of 5AM Ventures, Jim Glasheen, Ph.D., General Partner of Technology Partners, and Terry Gould, Partner and Head of Direct Investments of Adams Street Partners, have joined the Incline board of directors.
"Incline represents a unique investment opportunity around a late-stage product candidate with seven completed Phase III clinical trials, prior regulatory approvals, and substantial manufacturing capacity," said Dr. Topper of Frazier Healthcare Ventures. "Further, we are pleased to join such an experienced management team, several of whom we have worked closely with in previous ventures."
Cadence Option Agreement
Separately, Cadence Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced today that Incline has granted Cadence an option to acquire the company. In connection with the transaction, Ted Schroeder, President and CEO of Cadence, has been appointed as Cadence's representative on the Incline board of directors.
About Inpatient Post-Operative Pain Management
More than 20 million inpatient surgical procedures requiring pain management are estimated to occur in the United States each year. Current treatment methods include bolus injections, regional nerve blockade, epidural infusions, and intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV PCA). IV PCA systems are controlled infusions pumps that deliver a prescribed amount of an intravenous opioid when a patient activates a button connected to the pump. Although it is estimated that approximately 50% of patients receive IV PCA after surgery, IV PCA has been associated with programming, medication, and pump errors, IV line infections, needlestick injuries, and limited patient mobility.
About Incline Therapeutics, Inc.
Incline Therapeutics is a hospital-focused specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development of IONSYS (fentanyl iontophoretic transdermal system). Incline is financed by leading life science venture capital firms and led by a management team with significant pharmaceutical and medical device industry experience. The company is based in Redwood City, California.

Saif Aldin was on assignment interviewing residents about the sectarian violence raging between Shiite militias and Sunni insurgents in the neighborhood, long a center of violence, the newspaper said. The Post reported that a man used Saif Aldin's cell phone to inform an employee at the paper that the journalist was killed.
"We condemn this deplorable attack, which is a fresh reminder of why Iraq remains the most dangerous place in the world for journalists, especially Iraqis," CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon said. "Accounts that Salih Saif Aldin may have been murdered by Iraqi soldiers are alarming, and they demand swift action by the Iraqi government in providing answers and ensuring those responsible are brought to justice."
Washington Post Baghdad Bureau Chief Sudarsan Raghavan told CPJ that it remained murky as to who shot Saif Aldin and why. Some residents suspect that the Iraqi army, some of whose members are loyal to the Mahdi Army, a militia led by radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, is responsible for the slaying, The Post reported. Iraqi police suspect Sunni gunmen from the Awakening Council, a group consisting of Sunni tribes working alongside U.S. forces, The Post said.
Saif Aldin, who wrote under the pseudonym Salih Dehema for security purposes, began his journalism career as a reporter for the weekly Al-Iraq al-Yawm in Tikrit, and joined The Post in January 2004 as a stringer, the newspaper said. Saif Aldin has been arrested, beaten, and threatened while carrying out his assignments.
Leonard Downie Jr., executive editor of The Post, called Saif Aldin a "brave and valuable reporter who contributed much to our coverage of Iraq." Saif Aldin was known for his tenacity and his willingness to take assignments that put him in harm's way, The Post reported.
On March 7, cameraman Yussef Sabri of Biladi satellite channel was killed along with several other people by a suicide bomber in Saydiya, and on July 13, New York Times journalist Khalid W. Hassan was shot and killed in the same neighborhood.
In all, at least 119 journalists, including Saif Aldin, and 41 media support staffers have been killed in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003, making it the deadliest conflict for the press in CPJ's 26-year history. About 85 percent of media deaths have been Iraqis.

Women's Gymnastics Events in the 2012 Summer Olympics
Women gymnasts compete in three gymnastics events during the Summer Olympics — artistic gymnastics, trampoline, and rhythmic gymnastics. In artistic gymnastics, women compete in four events: floor exercises, vault, uneven bars, and balance beam.
Women's artistic gymnastics (WAG) became an Olympic sport in 1928, although individual competitions on equipment did not occur until 1952. Although it seems like every time you tune into the Olympics, you find female gymnasts dancing their way across your screen, rhythmic gymnastics didn't debut until 1984, although world competitions have been held since 1963. Trampoline was just added in 2000 during the Sydney games.
The difficulty of each gymnast's routine determines the highest value she can earn — the start value. The judges take deductions from that start value to determine her final score. The team with the highest overall score wins the team finals. Individuals also compete for medals in each event and for individual all-around medals.
Women's floor exercises in the Summer Olympics
Women, as well as the men, compete on a spring floor that is 40 ft. x 40 ft. (12 x 12 m), which provides a little extra bounce when compressed, allowing gymnasts to achieve extra height and a softer landing than would be possible on a standard floor.
Floor exercises are a series of tumbling passes involving flips, jumps, handsprings, dance elements, turns, and pivots of various difficulty.
Unlike the men, the women compete with routines that are choreographed to music. Gymnasts perform up to four tumbling passes including at least one flight element without hand support. Deductions are taken for lots of little things but one of the biggest is stepping out of "bounds" or off the edge of the floor area.
Olympics vault routines for women
Both women and men gymnasts compete on the vault, but only against those of the same sex. Gymnasts sprint down a 25 m or shorter runway, before leaping onto a spring board, which they use to direct their bodies toward the vault (hands-first).
Body position is maintained while "popping" the vaulting platform. The gymnast completes multiple twists and somersaults in the air before landing on the far side of the vault. The difficulty of the flips, the strength exhibited, and the ability to stick the landing affect scoring.
Sticking the landing means landing on both feet together without taking any extra steps. Any steps or partial steps incur deductions.
Popping is blocking against the vault using only shoulder movement and stiff arms.
Summer Olympic routines on the uneven bars
The uneven bars are two horizontal bars set at different heights. The width of the bars may be adjusted for individual competitors. Gymnasts perform swinging, circling, transitional, and release moves and may pass over, under and between the two bars. Gymnasts often mount the uneven bars with a springboard.
As with most events, the dismount and that sticky landing are critical judging points. Major deductions are taken for falls, although some of the most spectacular sports moments have occurred following a major fall. You don't forget watching an injured gymnast complete a fantastic routine only to be carried off the floor by her coach!
Olympics balance beam routines
The balance beam is a padded platform that is only 3.9 inches (10 cm) wide and 4 ft. 1 in. (125 cm) high. Gymnastics are expected to demonstrate balance (duh), poise, and flexibility while performing jaw-dropping leaps, somersaults, acrobatic, and dance moves.
Similar to floor routines, balance beam routines generally allow the gymnast to artistically express herself and incorporate dance moves.
Deductions are taken for wobbles and balance errors, falls (major deductions), and poor landings.
Rhythmic gymnastics for women only
Rhythmic gymnastics is a combination of dance and gymnastics floor exercises. The gymnasts uses props, such as ribbons, rope, hoops, balls, or clubs.
Rhythmic gymnastics, like synchronized swimming, is an event that is much more popular with Europeans and Russians than with Americans.
Women's trampoline routines during the Olympic Games
In trampoline gymnasts do ten different tricks in each of ten bounces on a trampoline (what else?). Each bounce is called a contact. Tricks can be tucks, twists, pikes, and flips in the air while trying to keep centered on the bed.
The final landing (rather than a dismount) is actually an 11th contact. She must hold her feet for three seconds, and the bed must not be moving when she is finished.
Olympic trampoline athletes are scored on difficulty and execution by eight judges. A 14 is considered a very difficult routine for women. Three judges score the difficulty level. Each of five judges awards a maximum score of 10 for execution, and the highest and lowest scores are dropped, leaving a maximum execution value of 30. The overall score is the sum of the difficulty score and the execution score.

Logan 1 Report post Posted January 10, 2012

Hi Everyone, The Potters Council is looking for some help with the new mentoring program. As you can imagine there are a lot of folks looking for mentors & no where near enough mentors to go around. I couldn't think of a better place to look for people willing to help. Some folks are looking for help with : Skills & Technique Business sales 101 (how to begin) Business plans Marketing plans Critiquing work How to Publish Photographing work Book recommendations Website review Specific firing techniques Glaze help Just to name a few things. This is no different than what we do every day. These folks just need some one on one time by phone or e mail or if you are geographically close enough even in person if both parties want that. You don't have to be a teacher at a school with a hand full of degrees. ( not that any of these folks would be turned away from the program) All you have to do is be willing to share what you've already learned with people that don't know what you know . If you can't answer a mentee's question maybe you can guide them in the right direction so they can find an answer themselves. You never can tell, the person you help may be able to help you solve a problem you've been having with something or inspire you in a direction you hadn't considered. Please don't let the word mentor scare you away. I "shared what little I knew" with a wonderful gal who posted to Clayart by answering some questions & it turned out she was a clay newbie that was just hired for an art teaching position in a school & had inherited a ceramics program included in the art classes. It would take me days to express how good I felt knowing I was helping her keep both her & her class safe , fun and cost effective for the small school she was teaching at. At the time neither of us thought of what we were doing as mentoring. I was "just sharing" what I had learned with a friend & helping her keep things safe for her & the kids. Not to mention through her I helped teach & influence the next generation of clay artists . I can honestly say there is no better reward or compensation than knowing I've actually done something (& will continue to do) for the future of the medium that I love & that's given me so much . Check out the Potters Council website . Here's the link to the mentoring page: http://ceramicartsdaily.org/potters-council-members/potters-council-mentoring-program/ Hope to see you in Seattle !

ALA Meeting on Govt. Information Policy
Hi, I'd like to begin our planning here by re-printing the original invitation and in doing so I want to stress that I really do not want us to be locked into a discussion about GPO/FDLP. I (and others) have pushed for this event to be about more than the FDLP and I think we need GODORT to go into it prepared to talk about all the issues. A good place to start is the "legislative issues" page of ALA[1].
...... E-mail from Emily Sheketoff [firstname.lastname@example.com]
The Committee on Legislation would like to pull together representatives from ALA who are interested in government information issues for a discussion to lay the parameters for better, more effective communication among units and what we need to get started; a discussion on government information and e government.
Since your groups are very involved in this issue, could you please send me the name and contact information for 2 representatives (one from leadership and your legislative chair) you would like us to invite. The event will be in DC Dec 12, 13 or 14 and ALA will be paying expenses. But if you could designate someone local (commuting distance from Washington Office), we would appreciate the money savings.
Thanks. Any questions, contact Carrie Russell or me. Emily ......
So, let's begin. What do we need to be thinking about "issuewise?" Sleeman 12:32, 25 October 2007 (CDT)

Best and the rest of the past week
Thumbs up to the group Save our Sterling for its efforts in the ongoing renovation of the historic Sterling Opera House in Derby. Harry Houdini and Amelia Earhart are among the many famous people to have stepped on stage in Derby. Restoration of the building's exterior has been completed with the help of state and federal grants. Recently, U.S. Rep Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., secured a grant for $150,000 that will help pay for the interior renovations at the Sterling Opera House.
Thumbs down to the practice by five of Connecticut's largest corporations of shifting profits on to the books of offshore subsidiaries located in tax havens like Bermuda and the Cayman Islands. The practice, according to the Connecticut Public Interest Research Group, costs Connecticut some $900 million in lost tax revenue. According to research by ConnPIRG, Aetna, General Electric, Hartford Financial Services, Travelers Property Casualty Co. and United Technologies -- like most of the large corporations in America -- follow the practice of shifting profits. Of course it's up to Washington to change the rules on this one.
Thumbs up to John and Ann Betar of Fairfield whose 80-year marriage has earned them recognition as the longest married couple in the U.S. by Worldwide Marriage Encounter, a Christian marriage group baed in San Bernardino, Calif. John, 101, and Ann, 97, have five children, 14 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren. Said John, "That's what keeps us alive. We live for them."
Thumbs up to the IHOP chain for raising money and awareness for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals on Tuesday, National Pancake Day. The restaurant, which has raised money for the last eight years on Pancake Day, served free pancakes in exchange for a donation to children's hospitals. This year, the Stamford IHOP hosted Jack Arnold, an 11-year-old Fairfield boy who stayed at a Miracle Network Hospital while recovering from a spleen injury. Jack went table to table asking for donations. Last year, the national chain raised more than $3 million for Children's Miracle Network, and this year's event was a success, especially for Jack and the Stamford IHOP.

The Radioactive Orchestra: Band uses nuclear isotopes to make music
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
Every second in your body, thousands of tiny isotopes are bursting with radioactive decay. And, all around you, imperceptible gamma rays explode in a brilliant but invisible lightshow. And they've just formed a live band.
Yes, you read that correctly. But it's all for science: The Radioactive Orchestra 2.0 is part of a Swedish project to help us understand how low-energy radiation works, by showing the energy patterns of nuclear isotopes.
'The goal is not to create the ultimate sonification of radiation, but to experiment with science as a starting point for making art.'
The music sounds like a techno-version of your science curriculum … if Moby were involved.
Swedish musician Kristofer Hagbard conceived of the orchestra about a year ago and released an album last spring, but the new 2.0 version of "the band" allows him to perform live in front of an audience.
The artist and composer uses a small, low-activity sample of radioactive material such as uranium on stage. He moves the sample close to a gamma spectrometer and then farther away, creating a pulsating rhythm. He can quickly create repeating loops from the live isotope signatures and form a complete song that wouldn't be out of place on a modern alternative radio station.
The project provides a musical representation of something we can't see in the universe, Hagbard told FoxNews.com.
"This can be looked at as a piano for high energy photons, so every detection gives us a note," Hagbard said. "The musical instrument is as good as the gamma spectrometer we are using."
The live performance is not just for show, however. Inside the detector, there is a large crystal of sodium iodide. When the radioactive energy strikes the detector, the crystal produces a colored beam of perceptible light, which is then mapped to a musical note by a computer program.
Tim Lundström, a physicist at a Swedish nuclear safety and training organization called KSU, told FoxNews.com that the radioactive orchestra is a good way to represent nuclear energy because it correlates so accurately to what we know about radioactive material. Lower energy beams produce colors like blue or green whereas higher level radioactive materials produce red tones.
"The decay of Cobalt-60 gives gamma-radiation of two very distinct energy levels, 1.17 MeV and 1.33 MeV. These numbers can be translated to two different tones," Lundström said. The project is designed to help people understand how radiation is so prevalent in the universe and in our own bodies, he explained: We can better understand radioactive energy through the music metaphor, which also serves to lessen some of the fear surrounding nuclear power.
"Every second, 4,000 to 5,000 nuclei decay in your own body, caused by natural radioactive isotopes like potassium 40 and carbon 14. We also have radiation from the universe and from the ground."
The ground-breaking project is an attempt to explain a complex mystery: We still don't know exactly how the mechanism of nuclear decay works, Lundström said. "We know that nuclei with high energy wants to get rid of the energy and decays to accomplish that. High energy nuclei is caused by an imbalance between the number of protons and neutrons in the nuclei," he said.
For Hagbard, the goal is not just to create a science project. Instead, he hopes to capture the imagination and help us to think outside of the box. "The goal is not to create the ultimate sonification of radiation, but to experiment with science as a starting point for making art," he said.

The family from TLC's "19 Kids & Counting" chose a unique way to commemorate the life of their 20th child, who passed away this week in a miscarriage -- they took an artsy picture of the fetal corpse ... and distributed it at the memorial.And Jezebel:
Few among us have never made a judgey comment about the Duggars, however everyone's trying to be sensitive in light of the sad news that Michelle Duggar suffered a miscarriage. But now there's this bit of holy shit: TMZ is running dead fetus photos that the Duggars distributed at Jubilee Shalom Duggar's memorial service today.They had to say "fetus" (or "fetal corpse"), didn't they? Why? It seems like a strange migration of abortion-rights ideology into a place where it doesn't belong.
I would think that even strong proponents of access to abortion would reject the use of the word "fetus" in the context of a family holding a memorial service and declaring that the deceased being left its mark on the world. Strong supporters of abortion rights accord a woman maximum control over the question of what that entity inside her womb is.
That's why Obama said "That's above my pay grade" and why the Supreme Court said "At the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life."
Mrs. Duggar obviously believed this was a baby.

WORCESTER, Mass. (courtesy WPI sports information) --- Nationally-ranked Brandeis struck for two goals early in the second half as the visiting Judges defeated WPI 2-1 in a battle of undefeated men's soccer teams on Wednesday evening. Brandeis, ranked third in New England and 20th nationally in the latest NCSAA rankings, moves to 6-0 while WPI dips to 4-1 on the year. With the win, the Judges are off to their best start since 2010, when they also started 6-0.
Trailing 1-0 at the break, Brandeis evened the tilt in the 50th minute when Jake Picard (Suffield, Conn./Suffield) collected a rebound following a Lee Russo (Westford, Mass./Westford Acad.) restart and deposited the ball into the net for his first goal of the season and of his collegiate career.
Just over 12 minutes later the visitors netted the game-winner when Foti Andreo (Lynn, Mass./Phillips Exeter) headed Sam Ocel's (North Attleboro, Mass./No. Attleboro) cross past the goalie for his first tally of 2012.
WPI had jumped out to a 1-0 lead late in the opening half when Eric Crevoiserat (Glastonbury, Conn.) took a feed from Connor Bolton (Warwick, R.I.) and rocketed a ball inside the near post from a tight angle on the right side at 40:21. It was the sophomore's first goal of the season and fifth of his career.
The Engineers had a chance to tie in the waning seconds when a long throw in by Christopher Murray (Canton, Mass.) was flicked by Chris Ciampa (Danvers, Mass.) to Jason Hopkins (Mendon, Mass.) but the senior's nifty header was tapped just over the bar by Brandeis goalkeeper Blake Minchoff (Fiskdale, Mass./Tantasqua Regional) just before the final horn blew.
Both Minchoff and his WPI counterpart Jeff Wong (Millington, N.J.) ended the game with five saves apiece in the tightly contested match. Brandeis ended with a narrow 15-13 advantage in shots and a slight 7-5 edge in corners.
Brandeis had entered the evening third nationally in total goals (22) and points (59) and ninth in scoring offense (4.4 gpg). Russo's 17 points entered the week second in the NCAA while Sam Ocel's 4 assists ranked him sixth in all of Division III.
WPI turns its attention now to its NEWMAC opener on Saturday. The Engineers will host Wheaton at 1:30pm. Brandeis is also back in action on Saturday, making the short trek to Newton to face Lasell at 1pm.

Hi there. I was googling some stuffs and stumbled upon your blog. The first thing that caught my attention was your banner. I know this is random but may I ask who that green hair boy on your banner is? I remember seeing him in some anime, but I can't remember which to save my life. All I remember is that he uses some ring toss (?) magic and is initially seen as a traitor or something…Thanks so much! And of course, very cool site you got here. 😀
hehe i saw your blog when i was googling Ohana's rival and your posts are awesome! >< i will visit often for your new updates
Looks like I stumbled upon another interesting blogger. Nice to meet you, draggle. Looking forward to reading up on your post ^^
Hi! I just noticed you added Hachimitsu to your blogroll, thank you! I hope you don't mind me adding you to my links as well. I-If you're okay with that of course!
Oh my goodness, I was in shock to see you follow me on tumblr. I am absolutely in love with your blog and your Mawaru Penguindrum posts. It is truly fabulous max!
Hi Draggle,
Would you be interested in exchanging bloglinks? =)
Hey there draggle!
Would you be interested in a link exchange? Thanks and keep up the awesome blogging!

Hello, Draggle
I have read and like you blog a lot. Would you like to exchange links? (do take a look at my blog) Thank you 🙂
Hi draggle. You sure watch a lot of anime this season! I can't compete with that 🙂
I think we have a very different taste when it comes to anime, which is a good thing because I can get a second opinion on series I wouldn't usually watch.
I was wondering if you would like to exchange blogroll links with my website. Please let me know if you are interested and I'll add you.
Hi, I found your site while searching for anime related site.
Thus, I'd like to know if you are still interested for link exchange.
Looking forward. Thanks.
interested to join i am…[yoda]

Jaguar has introduced special-edition models of the XK and the XKR, but they're not coming to North America.
We're not sure why--sales of the XK and the XKR have been strong in the United States the past few months.
Jaguar says the special-edition models feature enhanced interiors more than anything else. The new interiors use scraffito grain leather on the seats, instrument panel, door and rear-quarter trim. That's available with two new veneer finishes--shadow walnut and dark figured aluminum--and a Poltrona Frau leather headliner.
Elsewhere in the interior, the 16-way adjustable performance seats are heated, as is the steering wheel. Two color schemes are offered: navy with a jet-black headliner or truffle with a canvas-colored headliner. Unique sill plates and stainless-steel pedals are also included.
The convertible top can be ordered in blue, black, brown or gray, while exterior paint choices include the special-edition celestial black, crystal blue, lunar gray, polaris white, rhodium silver and ultimate black.
Engine choices are the same as on the standard editions. The XK gets a 379-hp, 5.0-liter V8 while the XKR gets a supercharged version of the same engine, rated at 503 hp.
The Dynamic Pack, which was previously offered only on the XKR, will now be available for the XK. The Dynamic Pack raises the top speed to 174 mph and includes a new rear diffuser, a 10-millimeter lower ride height, revised adaptive dynamics, spring and damper rates, and a new front knuckle that Jaguar says optimizes the steering.
The special editions are on sale now--in England.
