The UMBC menfs soccer team resumes America East Conference competition on Saturday, Oct. 12 when they welcome the Albany Great Danes in a 2:30 match-up to highlight UMBCfs Homecoming 2013 festivities. The Retrievers (10-1-0, 1-0-0 America East) opened league play with a 2-1 victory at Hartford a week ago, then were postponed after travelling to Willam & Mary for a non-conference contest on Wednesday. Albany (2-7-2, 0-1-0) fell, 1-0, in overtime at Stony Brook on Oct. 5, but rebounded to edge Yale, 2-1, on Tuesday. Live stats and free streaming video will be available for the contest via umbcretrievers.com and umbcretrievers.tv.
Wednesdayfs match at William and Mary was postponed due to inclement weather in the area. The institutions are attempting to reschedule the match. Kadeem Dacres broke a 1-1 tie with an early second half score and the visiting, seventh-ranked Retrievers (10-1-0, 1-0-0 America East) held on for a 2-1 victory over Hartford (7-2-2, 0-1-0) in the America East opener for both squads on Saturday evening.
Entering play this weekend, UMBC is tied for fourth in the nation with 27 goals scored. Cal Poly leads the nation with 32.
SR Pete Caringi III is tied for the nationfs lead in goals scored (10) and total points (22). JR M Geaton Caltabiano is tied for third in assists (7) and tied for fifth in assists per game (0.64).
UMBC rose four spots to No. 7 in the Continental Tire/NSCAA Coachesf poll for Oct. 1, 2013 and are at the No. 8 slot as of Oct. 8. The Retrievers remained at No. 14 in College Soccer News' poll and moved down three spots in the Top Drawer Soccer poll to 11th.
UMBC is now 37-31-11 in ten America East seasons, which includes a mark of 24-9-6 (.692) in games at home in league play.
The Great Danes come into the game with an overall record of 2-7-2, and are 0-4-1 record on the road. Earlier this season the Great Danes took down No. 22 ranked Fairleigh Dickinson in a 2-1 victory.
JR F Brandon Wilson leads the Great Danes in goals with 2 and is tied for the lead in points with 4. SO F Philip Persson leads the team in assists with a pair. JR GK Tim Allen has seen most action in goal with 10 games played, and leads the Great Danes in saves with 49.
Albany snapped four-game winless streak on Tuesday night with a 2-1 win against Yale at Bob Ford Field. FR D Bernardo Mattos struck in the 6th minute, and after Yale tied the score late in the first half, UA SO F Ivan Martinez got the game-winner in the 82nd minute.
This will be the 11th meeting between the Retrievers and the Great Danes. The Retrievers lead the overall series with a record of 5-4-1, and are 4-0-1 when playing at Retriever Soccer Park. In last yearfs matchup, the Great Danes defeated the Retrievers, 2-1, in a second half comeback. It was the first time the Great Danes had defeated the Retrievers since 2008 and it was UMBCfs final loss of the 2013 campaign. Caringi has scored a goal in each of the last two contests vs. Albany, including a 2-1 victory at home in 2011.
The Retrievers face a tough Vermont squad in America East play on Wednesday, Oct. 16 in Burlington. Kick-off time is set for 3:00 p.m.

I'm subscribed to Ironman Perl's full Atom feed in google reader. Most posts display nicely, especially if they use embedded css like mine (boo – bad practice Jared) 😉
However, it seems as though there is some strange interaction between certain feeds, Ironman and Google Reader. Take a look at this post from Mark Fowler:
Everything has been stripped, even the paragraphs and line feeds.
At first I thought it was only feeds burned with feedburner, but it isn't as simple as that.
Another minor nit: detection of the word perl isn't done at the beginning and end of the words. Hence, properly would cause a post to show up in the feed, even if it has nothing to do with perl.

Pope Francis' coat of arms, motto and ring signal simplicity
VATICAN CITY -- Pope Francis is mixing his Argentine past with his Roman present to create his new papal coat of arms, while harking back to a pope associated with the Second Vatican Council for the simple ring that he will receive during Tuesday's installation Mass.
The Vatican on Monday released details of the symbols of Francis' pontificate, which in its inaugural days has been marked by his preference for simplicity and aversion to Holy See splendor.
The new pope chose to keep the same coat of arms he had as archbishop of Buenos Aires, and picked the simplest ring out of several models offered him. It is fashioned in gold-plated silver and was once a gift to Pope Paul VI, who presided over the second half of Vatican II, the meetings that modernized the church.
The coat of arms has a necessary addition -- the papal symbols surrounding it: a gilded miter, and crossed gold and silver keys.
The shield itself, in very simple almost modern heraldry, depicts a star, a grape-like plant, and a monogram of Christ at the centre of a fiery sun. The symbols represent the three members of the Holy Family, Jesus, Mary and Joseph. In religious writing, Mary is often referred to as a "star," while St. Joseph is often depicted holding a nard, a Middle Eastern plant. The monogram is the symbol of Francis' Jesuit order.
His motto suggests even more about the root of Francis' message:
"Miserando atque eligendo," Latin for "Having had mercy, he called him," comes from an episode in the Gospel where Christ picks a seemingly unworthy person to follow him.
Francis has stressed the importance of mercy, saying that often people are unforgiving with one another, but that God is all-merciful. "And very patient," he ad-libbed from the window of his studio during his first Angelus prayer Sunday.
In a written explanation of the coat of arms, motto and ring, the Vatican said that the inspiration for the motto stems from the calling Jorge Bergoglio heard at the age of 17, when "he experienced the presence of the love of God in a very special way," and decided to join the Jesuit order.
Francis's official ring will look like gold, but in fact is only gold plated.
Known as the fisherman's ring from the apostle Peter, who was a fisherman and the first pope, Francis's version depicts St. Peter holding the keys of the Holy See. Each pope picks his own ring, which will be destroyed at the end of his papacy.
According to Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi, the ring was one of several offered to Francis. Fashioned in the 1960s by Italian goldsmith Enrico Manfrini, it was offered to Paul VI through his private secretary. Lombardi said it is not known if the pope ever used it.
Paul VI presided over the second half of Vatican II, the 1962-65 meetings that paved the way for the liturgy to be celebrated in the vernacular rather than Latin and revolutionized the church's relations with Jews.

15 Super Bowl Recipes to whip up for the big game! Pick between poppable bites, healthier dips, easy crock pot recipes, and more.
Are you ready for some footballlll?
Unless you've been living under a rock (or, ahem, are like me and recently Googled "Super Bowl 2014" to find out when the big game will be taking place) you know that the two best teams in the NFL (debatable) will be going head-to-head in just over 2 weeks on Sunday, February 2.
You're welcome, people who are just in it for the food.
Hey, I'm right there with ya'! I can't I say I have a lot invested in the four teams vying for a coveted spot in a certain New Jersey stadium, but I can say I'm excited as heck for the food that will be served at the Super Bowl-watching party Ben and I plan on hosting. And by "party" I of course mean the two of us and our baby monitor. #goodtimes
Anyway, I feel like the Super Bowl is a pretty huge foodie event, so I gathered up 15 of my favorite dip, appetizer, and slow cooker recipes that are just begging to be included in your game-day feast. Regardless of what team you're rooting for, I hope you enjoy the food!
Crock Pot Italian Beef Sandwiches
Crock Pot Italian Beef Sandwiches are a mouthwatering, slow-cooked version of the popular hot sandwich recipe. Just 5 ingredients in this hearty meal that's perfect for half time. Check your grocery store's olive bar for the Giardiniera mixture if you can't find it in the pickle aisle.
Crab Rangoon Bites
Crab Rangoon Bites are crispy, frozen phyllo shells stuffed with creamy crab filling. They're so much easier than stuffing and frying traditional crab rangoon, but just as delicious.
Greek Dip Platter
Greek Dip Platter is a light and refreshing appetizer recipe with 7 layers of bold Greek flavors. This dip comes together in just a few minutes and is great for transporting, too!
Feta-Stuffed Buffalo Chicken Meatballs
Full of that signature flavor and spice, yet made with low-fat ground chicken and bold seasonings, Feta-Stuffed Buffalo Chicken Meatballs will be the first appetizer to go at your football game get-together. Make ahead of time then keep 'em warm in a crock pot!
Roasted Jalapeno Popper Potato Skins
Proof that big things come in small packages, Roasted Jalapeno Popper Potato Skins combine the best of jalapeno poppers and potato skins. These creamy, spicy bites are delicious and so addicting. I recommend them to anybody requesting a football watching-party app!
Mini Corn Dog Muffins
The original Mini Corn Dog Muffins! A fun and yummy snack recipe for any special or ordinary occasion. Use the homemade cornbread recipe I included in the post, or a box of cornbread mix if you're short on time.
The Best Fruit Dip EVER
The Best Fruit Dip Ever is just three ingredients that result in a luxurious and perfectly sweet fruit dip. My family has been making this dip for over 20 years. It really is the best ever!
Lighter Bacon Cheeseburger Dip
Lighter Bacon Cheeseburger Dip is decadent-tasting but much lighter than traditional creamy dips. Take to a friend's house then broil the top just before serving. Yum-o.
Cheese Stuffed Meatball Sliders
Serve these super-cute, ultra-delicious, Cheese Stuffed Meatball Sliders at the beginning of the game. They're the perfect 4-bite dish to get your appetite revved!
Buffalo Chicken Poppers with Avocado Bleu Cheese Dip
Buffalo Chicken Poppers with Avocado Bleu Cheese Dip combine a spicy filling stuffed inside buttery crescent rolls with a cooling avocado bleu cheese dip. Kind of upscale feeling, but only you and I will know they're a cinch to make. ; )
Crock Pot Bourbon Chicken Sammies with Crunchy Apple Slaw
Chicken breasts are slow cooked in homemade bourbon-BBQ sauce then shredded and topped with smoky gouda cheese and Crunchy Apple Slaw in Crock Pot Bourbon Chicken Sammies with Crunchy Apple Slaw. I ate leftovers of this dish for about a week straight and never got sick of it!
Bacon-Wrapped Almond-Stuffed Dates
One of my Top 3 appetizer recipes of all time, Bacon-Wrapped Almond-Stuffed Dates are chewy, salty, and sweet. PERFECTION.
Best Ever French Onion Dip
Best Ever French Onion Dip tastes just like AE Dairy's French Onion Dip (Midwesterners rejoice!) but is easily made right at home. Serve with chips or crudite for a satisfying homemade dip option.
Pickle Bites
Pickle Bites are a Midwestern delicacy, mmkay? Nothing is easier nor more delish than this appetizer dish!
Pulled Pork Taquitos with Chipotle-Ranch Dipping Sauce
Your friends and family will go bonkers for slow cooked shredded pork mixed with cheese then baked inside crispy corn tortillas. Pair these taquitos with smoky Chipotle Ranch Dipping sauce for an awesome finger-food option.
Also check out my Honey-Balsamic BBQ Meatballs and Black Bean and Sweet Corn Guacamole Dip!

Welcome to the SUNY Potsdam Blogs!
What are blogs?
Weblogs, or simply 'blogs', are a popular tool used by people or organizations to share information with others. A blog is roughly analogous to a journal, a journal that you allow anyone to read. A great feature of blogs is that they allow you to incorporate various digital resources, such as photos, video, and audio into posts. In addition, readers can comment on entries and carry out discussions on the post topics.
What blogging package is used for the SUNY Potsdam Blogs?
We are using a flavor of WordPress suited for large institutions. If you are familiar with WordPress, either through WordPress.com or a personal instance of WordPress, you will see no difference in the interface.
Who is eligible to get a blog?
Faculty, staff, & departments are eligible for a blog on the official blog system. Currently, students are not yet able to obtain blogs.
How do I get a blog?
If you are interested in obtaining an official SUNY Potsdam blog, then e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com
Can I change how the blog looks?
Currently all official blogs must use the official SUNY Potsdam theme.
Can I request more than one blog?
Sure! If you have multiple organizations/topics that are best served by separate blogs that isn't a problem.

First, they took yoga and made it Christian. Now, Christian aerobics instructor Paul Eugene created an alternative to The Cupid Shuffle and the Cha Cha Slide called "The Sanctified Slide." "Shake the devil off" and do a Beyonce booty pop!
I'm not even going to front: I got excited when I saw True/Slant's post about this video. The T/S team made some hilarious observations, especially that the guy in the back "resembles Kip from Napoleon Dynamite."
But even better is the video itself. There's just so much to watch. The "David dance" which is the aforementioned Beyonce booty pop, the Kip-doppelganger in the back missing the concept of the quick church clap, and Paul Eugene's aggressive eye contact are all worth watching the 10 minute demo for.
On second watch, I realized a lot of this choreography felt really familiar for more than one reason:
(Sidebar: Yo Salt! Pepa got a reality show now - what happened to you becoming the religious answer to Lil' Kim?)
Now, as a declared seeker/part time heathen, I know this is my cue to crack jokes about the ridiculousness of organized religion. But this is my Achilles heel y'all. There are a lot of things I hate about organized religion, but church parties in the name of Jesus are not one of them - especially after watching this video of another church doing the The Sanctified Slide:
I emailed one of my Christian friends this video and said See, if y'all were doing this every Sunday, I would come back to church.

Just inside the doorway of Waddington Street Rod and Restoration Centre in Castlemaine, Victoria, stands a white Holden 48-215. It's better known as the FX - the first car built in Australia for the Australian market. It still has a period chrome grin, and with its round eyes in bullet-shaped wings, resembles a marginally overinflated Morris Minor. Pearly white and sporting a decidedly non-vintage blue racing stripe, it is levitating gently on a set of axle stands, because this car - as you might expect of a Rod Shop intern - is not standard. Even though the heroic 1948 survivor is mostly stock on the outside, under the bonnet is a supercharged V6 engine, providing a good deal more power than the original 2.1-litre straight-six with its modest 60bhp. Turns out that Australians, like car enthusiasts the world over, love to tinker. Even icons aren't safe from their tender ministrations.
Which brings us to the car parked next to the FX, the car I've brought with me. It is based on a Holden Commodore, the latest Gen-F range, made faster by the independent associate Holden Special Vehicles. A bookend of the past 65 years of Holden production, then. It too wears a supercharger, but this time attached to a 6.2-litre V8, and producing 576bhp and 546lb ft of torque. The most powerful production car ever produced in Australia, and due to arrive in the UK this year, badged as the new Vauxhall VXR8 GTS. But the GTS is more than just a go-faster version of a cooking model (HSV likes to think of itself more as an AMG or M-Sport-style thorough engineering upgrade), because in Australia, this new, fastest-ever HSV is a bit of a superstar.

GORHAM, Me. – With back-to-back RBI singles from Jamill Moquette (Boston, Mass.) and Matt Consiglio (Southbury, Conn.) and another strong showing by closer Jeff Thomas (Redwood City, Calif.) baseball (14-9, 3-2 Little East) recorded their third straight conference win in four day as they defeated the University of Southern Maine (11-11, 3-2 Little East) by the final score of 6-5 Tuesday afternoon at USM Baseball Stadium.
Moquette, who also crushed his third home run of the season in his first at-bat, drove in the game-tying run in the top half of the ninth on a groundout to second base. Consiglio followed it up with his first hit of the afternoon, a single to left field which scored pinch runner Luke Fischetti (Liverpool, N.Y.).
Now with the lead in their favor the Beacons who got a solid 2.1 innings from reliever Will Barrack (Lancaster, Va.) turned the ball over to Thomas. Once again the California native showed total command of his pitches as he retired the final three Southern Maine batters in order to get his fifth save of the season and the Beacons 14th win of the year. Barrack's one hit, one strikeout showing earned him his second win of the year as the Virginia native improved to 2-0 on the season.
UMass actually held a 2-0 lead through the first 2 ½ innings of Tuesday's contest. Southern Maine would earn their first lead of the day in the bottom of the third with three runs to make it 3-2 in over of the Huskies. The Beacons would tie the score at 3-3 in the top half of the next inning on an RBI single by Wilberto Sanjuro (Boston, Mass.), which scored Jack DeBiase (Prospect, Conn.). DeBiase reached base by firing a double down the right field line to put a runner in scoring position with two outs on the scoreboard.
Neither team would score a run over the next three innings. Southern Maine did threaten to break the tie in the sixth after Forrest Chadwick recorded a triple to deep center field with two outs. After the triple, Barrack stepped on the hill and got his first batter to groundout to the shortstop.
Michael Boughton (New Britain, Conn.) got the start in Tuesday's conference game and went 5 2/3 innings and allowed three runs on 11 hits, while walking one batter. Southern Maine went on to break the 3-3 tie in the bottom of the eighth on a fielder's choice and a sacrifice fly.
This would set-up the ninth heroics by the Beacons. Nick Grassetti (Agawam, Mass.) led off the inning with a walk and would then advance to second after Dominic Morbidelli (Oakland, Calif.) was hit by a pitch. Fischetti would then take over at first, which set-up double steal to move both the tying and game-winning run into position. Another walk this time to Mark McCormack (Shelton, Conn.) would load the bases with no outs on the scoreboard. After a pitching change, Moquette plated the tying run on his groundout to second base. Consiglio then followed suit with a single to left which scored Fischetti. Southern Maine did manage to get out of the inning trailing by one, but for the Beacons that would be all they needed to secure the victory.
Sanjuro had another strong day for UMass as he closed out the contest 2-for-4 with an RBI. UMass scored their six runs on eight hits, while Southern Maine combined for 12 hits in the loss.
Baseball returns to action on Friday when they travel to Babson College for a 3:30 p.m. non-conference game. A schedule note, Saturday's doubleheader against UMass Dartmouth which was supposed to be played at Yetten Field will be played at UMass Dartmouth. The Beacons will serve as the home team in the conference twinbill which is slated for a noon start.

My younger brother, while playing with my iPad, switched on the restriction passcode for in-app purchase and when asking him he had forgotten the password. I asked some of my friends, they told me that there is no other way than restore. Upon hearing them I was really sad to know that I have to lose all my work.
I will be pleased if anyone could tell me some other way get the passcode than to restoring it. If any thing can be done after jail breaking it, it will not be a problem for me, I'll do it.
If restoring is only the method please tell me about restoring it and what I will lose after restoring my iPad as I do not have any backup.

BALTIMORE – The UMBC track and field team finishes the invitational portion of its indoor season with the two-day New Balance Collegiate Invitational, beginning on Friday in New York, N.Y.
The Retrievers travel to New York for the second time this season to compete against athletes from over 100 collegiate institutions. Team entering athletes include men's reigning national champion Florida and women's current number one team, Clemson. This meet gains even more importance this season as it is the last chance to improve times and distances before the America East Championships, which were moved up a week due to facility changes.
Already the school record holder in both the 60m dash and 200m dash, sophomore Mercedes Jackson (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) broke both of her marks last week against a national field at the Penn State National Invitational. After lowering her personal-best time in the 60m event to 7.39 in the semifinal round, Jackson inched it even lower in the finals, crossing the line in a time of 7.34. This time is the top in the America East this season and ranks tied for seventh in the NCAA. She needs to be ranked in the top-16 at the end of the season to make the NCAA Championships. Meanwhile, her winning time of 23.98 in the 200m competition is also the best in the conference while sitting in 33rd nationally.
The men also have a pair of impressive sprinters as seniors Dennison Long (Greenbelt, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt, FIU) and Trae Proctor (Brandywine, Md./Thomas Stone) lead the conference in the 60m dash and 60m hurdles, respectively. Long's top time of 6.88 came in early January at the Penn State Relays, but he nearly equaled it while finishing in tenth with a time of 6.90 on the same track last weekend. Proctor, meanwhile, became the first Retriever to ever go under eight seconds in the sprint hurdle event when he finished tied for third at the Gotham Cup in a time of 7.89. In addition to leading the conference, Proctor is tied for 23rd in the nation.
In the mid-distance, the Retrievers have two women currently placing in the top-five in both the 400m and 500m runs in the America East. Sophomore Paulette Fogle (Washington, D.C./Bishop McNamara) ranks third in both events with a 400m time of 57.24 and 500m time of 1:14.96, which she has recorded twice this season. Junior Kirsten Jones (Brentwood, Tenn./M.L.K. Magnet) sits just behind her teammate in fourth in the 400m (57.32) and fifth in the 500m (1:15.50).
UMBC will also send a strong distance contingent to New York, led by junior Andrew Smith (Chadds Ford, Pa./Garnet Valley) and sophomore Sarah Daly (Lake Orion, Mich./Lake Orion), both of whom have qualified for postseason meets in the 800m. Smith leads the America East with his IC4A-qualifying quarter-mile time of 1:54.66 at the Terrapin Invitation while Daly is fourth in the conference after her season-best time of 2:14.32 last week at Penn State to meet the ECAC standard.
The Retrievers have put together a strong throwing team this season with senior Amanda Deller (Aberdeen, Md./Aberdeen) pacing the women and the trio of senior Cameron McDearmon (Owings Mills, Md./Franklin), junior Yao Adantor (Laurel, Md./Reservoir/Morgan St./Maryland) and sophomore Thor Serafenas (Olney, Md./Good Counsel/Clemson) leading the men.
Deller, a three-time America East indoor shot put champion, leads the conference in the event after posting a personal-best toss of 15.00m (49'2.50") at the Penn State Nationals. She is also currently third in the weight throw with a season-best heave of 15.76m (51'10.00") at the Terrapin Invitational. Freshman Nneoma Edokobi (Rockville, Md./Richard Montgomery) and junior Emma Mayne (Mt. Airy, Md./Linganore) also rank in the top-ten in the shot put while freshman Jennifer Nelson (Plainfield, Conn./Plainfield) occupies seventh in the America East weight throw standings.
For the men, McDearmon, Adantor, and Serafenas all rank in the top-ten in the conference in both throwing events this season. McDearmon's weight throw of 18.38m (60'3.75") leads the team and ranks second in the America East while Serafenas and Adantor hold fifth and seventh place, respectively. In the shot put, Adantor's toss of 15.74m (51'7.75) at the Bison Opener leads the Retrievers and is third-best in the conference.
In the jumps, senior Shioma Obemeata (New Rochelle, N.Y./Iona Prep/St. Francis) leads the America East and has qualified for the IC4A meet with a triple jump distance of 14.71m (48'3.25"). Junior Mo Drammeh (Frederick, Md./Thomas Johnson) continues to look to break the seven-foot barrier this season while sitting tied for third in the conference with a season-best height of 6'6.75" (2.00m).

From the mailbag:
Notice to All Employees
As of November 5, 2008, when President Obama is officially elected into office, our company will install a few new policies which are in keeping with his new, inspiring themes of change and fairness:
1. All salespeople will be pooling their sales bonuses into a common pool that will be divided equally among all of you. This will serve to give those of you who are underachieving a "fair shake."
2. All low level workers will be pooling their wages, including overtime, into a common pool, dividing it equally amongst yourselves. This will help those who are "too busy for overtime" to reap the rewards from those who have more spare time and can work extra hours.
3. All top management will now be referred to as "the government." We will not participate in this "pooling" experience because the law doesn't apply to us.
4. The "government" will give eloquent speeches to all employees every week, encouraging its workers to continue to work hard "for the good of all."
5. The employees will be thrilled with these new policies because it's "good to spread the wealth." Those of you who have underachieved will finally get an opportunity; those of you who have worked hard and had success will feel more "patriotic."
6. The last few people who were hired should clean out their desks. Don't feel bad though, because President Obama will give you free healthcare, free handouts, free oil for heating your home, free food stamps, and he'll let you stay in your home for as long as you want even if you can't pay your mortgage. If you appeal directly to our Democratic congress, you might even get a free flat screen TV and a coupon for free haircuts (shouldn't all Americans be entitled to nice looking hair?) !!!
[The haircut thing caught my eye.]
Thanks to Gerry.

i've noticed that there is a growing list of games that are BOLD enough to state system requirements that break the 8gb system memory barrier.
According to the developers, It appears that
Gears of war 4
Gears of war ultimate edition
Titanfall 2
Star wars battlefront
Dying light
Battlefield 1
Deus ex mankind divided
Quantum break
Dishonored 2
Fallout 4 w/high rez pack
Mirrors edge catalyst
Forza motorsport 6 apex
Halo 5: forge
all require 12-16gb of system memory to perform at the ideal.
Putting this into perspective with build budgets and system configs, it'd be interesting to know if one actually needs 16gb, and if so, how much of a difference it makes. I tried to find information that could confirm these requirements, but results are spotty and certainly nothing from the same source.
I realize that in recent times with the cost of memory, most progressives/enthusiasts just suggest or incorporate 16gb as a precautionary measure. But, curiosity is knocking, and sometimes it's nice to have numbers to back things up. I mean, people seem to compare 4gb/8gb or 3gb/6gb variants of graphics cards all the time, so...it'd just be interesting to see how system memory affects performance in games that actually say they requirement. Is 16gb the new 8gb yet?
Unless someone can point me to a source out there that discusses this already, I'd suggest it as a potential article topic.

If you like to play bingo then you're in luck because the opportunities to play bingo have never been greater. It is true that a few local bingo sites have closed down in certain countries, but we are simultaneously witnessing a bingo revival where completely new demographic groups are realizing how entertaining this wonderful game of chance can be. As icing on the big bingo cake, there is also a long row of bingo sites available online where you can play bingo 24/7.
Playing bingo in bingo halls
Some bingo halls have bingo only, but it is also quite common for them to offer side games such as slot machines, video poker och scratch cards. Some bingo halls are even included in large gambling resorts with casino floor, poker room and more. It is largely the gambling laws of each country or state that limit which additional games that can be offered by local bingo halls. For reviews on bingo, lotto and other casino games, visit Casinogamesreview.com.
One of the largest bingo halls in the world is found within the Foxwoods Resort in Connecticut, USA. It's located on land belonging to the Native American Mashantucket Pequots and has room for 4,000 bingo players! Another bingo hall notable for its vast size is the one at the San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino outside Los Angeles. Owned by the Serrano tribe of Native Americans, it can accommodate 2,500 bingo players at a time and is famous for offering not just ordinary bingo but high roller bingo as well. 2,500 bingo players is also what the Isleta Casino & Resort in New Mexico can handle. This resort is renowned for offering jackpot bingo with tens of thousands of dollars in the pot.
Drive-in bingo
Drive-in bingo is just like drive-in movie theaters. You and your fellow bingo aficionados drive your cars to the bingo place and enjoy playing bingo from the comfort of your own cars. When you get a bingo you don't yell bingo – you honk your horn twice. Drive-in bingo establishments usually have big number displays that makes it easy to see the called numbers even if your car is parked at some distance from the front row. When drive-in bingo is arranged by sports clubs, churches and other non-profit organizations, soft drinks and snacks will usually be sold to bring in even more money to the good cause. If you're lucky – and state laws allow – there will even be home made baked goods available for hungry bingo players.
Bingo on water
If you wish to play bingo on water, grab your dabber and hop on a cruise ship or river boat. Bingo on the waves is especially common in regions where gambling is illegal or severely restricted, because once the boat reaches international waters national law isn't applicable. It is however possible to find boats that offer bingo on lakes and rivers as well, simply because playing bingo is so fun and makes a nice day on the water even more pleasurable.
Playing bingo online
The opportunity to play bingo online has attracted completely new demographic groups to the game of bingo. People who would normally limit their gambling to things such as table games and sports betting are venturing into the wonderful world of online bingo and they like what they see. At the same time, many seasoned bingo veterans make the journey from local bingo halls to modern online bingo.
Some web sites have bingo as their primary focus, but it is also common for large gambling sites to have a section for bingo next to sections for casino, sports betting, arcade games, poker, and so on. Even sites that are focused on bingo tend to have a least a small casino part to offer their members a greater variety of games. Betpal.com is a provider of betting tips but also got a great bingo section with daily news and offers. Many bingo players are fond of other games of chance, such as slot machines, roulette and scratch cards.
One of the advantages of playing bingo online is that your bingo cards will be checked automatically for bingo. You don't have to yell bingo fast enough to win – the software will detect any winning bingo cards and deposit the corresponding amount into your account. You can still dab the bingo cards by hand if you want to, but you don't have to worry about accidentally missing a number or making a wrong dab. You can even by bingo cards in advance and have the software check then for you. Not being able to make it to this evening's bingo games because you're stuck in traffic or have to work late doesn't have to be a complete disaster because you can still use your bingo cards and there might be a nice little win waiting in your account once you come back home and log in.

Mary Margaret Groves describes birthday cakes as iconic "symbols of days belonging to people."
The fact that her vibrant pastel piece, "Birthday Cake," expressed that emotion well enough to get her work accepted into the Young Tennessee Artists exhibit is the icing on the cake.
Groves and Brooke Craig are two of 34 talented teens to be selected for the fourth Young Tennessee Artists, sponsored by the Frist Center for the Visual Art in Nashville. The exhibition, which takes place every two years, will be on display at the museum through April 21.
Groves, 19, the daughter of Ann and David Groves, is an alumna of Girls Preparatory School and is now a freshman at Pomona College in Claremont, Calif.
Craig, daughter of Renee and Glen Craig, is a graduate of Notre Dame High School and is an 18-year-old freshman art major at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
Maggie Carrigan, media and public relations manager for the Frist, says 800 students from across the state submitted artwork for the show. To be eligible, students had to be enrolled in either Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate Studio Art programs during the 2012 academic year, says Carrigan.
"The committee looked for work that did not seem to be simply in response to an assignment but revealed something surprising about the vision or personality of the artist," says Mark Scala, Frist Center chief curator and one of three jurors for the exhibition.
"In Mary Margaret Groves's pastel of the birthday cake, for example, I was intrigued by the fact that she transformed such a simple subject into something that is somehow mysterious, vital and monumental," Scala says. "At the same time, it brings us back to the unfiltered realm of a child's senses ... the pastel also conveys a feeling of loss, as if the extinguished candles and smoke swirling over the cake signify regret at the passing of time."
In her artist's statement, Groves explains that she's "always been fond of birthdays because it's a special day that people identify themselves with."
"I think I've always been on the search for my identify and art is the best way that I've been able to define myself so far," she says.
It wasn't until her junior year at GPS that she became serious about her artwork, Groves says, and she credits GPS teacher Mary Carrithers and a summer study at the Governor's School for the Arts with developing her talent.
When photographing "Stolen Angel," Craig says she wanted to create a "mysterious image" to explore the folklore of angels. Her friend, Walker Montgomery, served as the model.
"My concentration was on dreams. I had a dream about an angel in chains. I started doing research about purgatory and that led me to do the photograph in this way," she explains.
She took her first photos on a trip to Maine with her grandmother when she was 14, she recalls. When her mother took some of the vacation shots to Art Warehouse for framing, the staff there was impressed enough to help the teen develop her skills.
At age 15, her parents bought her a Nikon D-60, which she still uses.
Craig credits former Notre Dame art teacher Carrie Pendergrass with nurturing her interest in film photography as well as painting and drawing. The photographer says she made a trip to the Frist two weeks ago to see the Young Artists exhibition.
Her reaction?
"It was pretty shocking to see my piece in an actual museum."

Recently, Andrews and Li announced a complete classification of CMC ($H=const.$) tori in $S^3$, confirming a conjecture of Pinkall and Sterling. Their main result is that any such torus is rotationally symmetric, and this reduces the problem to a previous classification due to Perdomo, also studied by Hynd, Park and McCuan. [As a side note, some of the techniques used are similar to Brendle's solution of the Lawson Conjecture, that states that the only minimal ($H=0$) torus in $S^3$, up to congruences, is the Clifford torus $S^1(\tfrac{1}{\sqrt2})\times S^1(\tfrac{1}{\sqrt2})$.] It is also known that there are CMC tori in $S^3$ that are not congruent to the family $S^1(r)\times S^1(\sqrt{1-r^2})$ of Clifford tori, so, in a certain sense, their only (continuous) symmetries are encoded in an isometric circle action, as confirmed by Andrews' and Li's result.
Given this context, my question is:
Are there open questions, conjectures, etc., regarding existence or non-existence of CMC hypersurfaces with symmetries in highly symmetric compact manifolds, analogously to the above case of CMC tori in $S^3$? Actually, I'd be particularly interested in questions regarding non-minimal CMC embeddings ($H=const\neq 0$).
To be (slightly) more precise, I am interested in knowing if there are questions of the form "Let $(M,g)$ be a compact manifold with many symmetries (i.e., a "big" Lie group acts isometrically), and consider embeddings of some manifold $N$ into $M$. Then if $N\subset M$ is CMC, it must have certain symmetries (and perhaps cannot have other symmetries)." In other words, are there any analogues of (or questions similar to) the conjecture of Pinkall and Sterling that CMC tori in $S^3$ are rotationally symmetric, but for other (perhaps higher dimensional) compact manifolds? Perhaps some of these questions are disguised as questions about Mean Curvature Flow?
Notice also that if $N\subset M$ is an orbit of an isometric group action, then it is automatically CMC. However, there could be other CMC embeddings of $N$ into $M$, not congruent to any orbits (e.g., with less symmetries, as the tori above). Should one expect any general behavior for this other CMC embeddings? Are there any known results, questions or conjectures in this direction?
I apologize for the somewhat vague question, but none of the above references seems to risk any further conjectures or indicates natural extensions of their results. Also, a quick google search and inverse citations on MathSciNet don't give much in terms of open questions. I was wondering if there is a reason behind it... Any references to recent survey-type papers related would also be very appreciated!

text: I was totally hyped for Sophia Webster's presentation, since last season's bug themed collection was a highlight of my week (am still hoping to come across the recording of Katy B doing live covers of UK garage classics, it was unreal. Imagine this, but for an hour). For AW'14 the girls were hanging around in pastel painted bedroom sets, watching Clueless on TV, chilling in a bubble bath or chatting on blinged-up phones. Add in the walk in shoe closet, the chihuahua in a puffer jacket and yet another sick setlist from Rinse Fm's Geeneus (early 2000 RnB, interrupted by quotes from Pretty Woman) and I'm literally heart eyes emoji. And we haven't even got to the shoes dotted all over the place, all the beautiful, crazy shoes. Wish all shows (and indeed shoes) were as much fun as Sophia Webster.

It helps to know the ins and outs of home finance.
When you're budgeting for rent, make sure you know what a monthly payment covers. Landlords in different areas include specific things in the price of rent. For example, in some cities, landlords are required to provide heat, hot water, and utilities. Elsewhere, you're required to pay for some or all of these services on top of the rent—as well as arrange for them. Hidden costs like these can tack on as much as a few hundred dollars a month to what you pay for housing, so make sure you're aware of them as you start to plan.
If you've got a car, it's not covered under renter's insurance, even though it's one of your possessions. Since there's more risk and higher value involved, cars require their own separate insurance policies. In fact, car insurance isn't just a good idea—it's required by law.
Most states allow you to take out a joint renter's insurance policy with one or more roommates or with an unmarried partner. Not all companies offer joint coverage, though, so shop around for something that meets your needs. When you're ready to sign, make sure that each person's name is included on the policy so that you're all guaranteed coverage.
It's easy to forget to include utilities when you're thinking about home finance costs. But when you factor in electricity, gas, heat, phones, and other costs, the total can be surprisingly high. A little care and research can be helpful in keeping these costs down:
Having guests in your apartment is a gray area in terms of leases and legality. Most leases state the maximum time you can have a guest, usually no more than a few weeks. Past that, you're technically supposed to notify your landlord, and you can be evicted for failing to do so. And if your guest stays for a really long time, he or she may have to fill out a rental application and be responsible for the terms of your lease.
Of course, if your landlord is fairly lax, there's no reason why you can't have a guest for as long as you want. Just remember that having a long-term guest will probably cost you money in terms of utilities, wear and tear on the apartment, and groceries.
You may also be tempted to earn some extra money by making your place available through a short-term rental service like Airbnb, but most likely this is not ok with your landlord—or your neighbors. It may even be illegal in your city. Make sure you follow the rules on this one.
If you're living with one or more roommates, it's common to have some difficulties about how to handle sharing costs. There's no sure-fire way to avoid this, but there are systems you can set up for taking care of household expenses:
These aren't the only methods out there, and there may be another that works better for you and your roommates, depending on your financial situations and how careful you want to be about keeping things even. All that really matters is that you find a system that works for everyone and stick to it.

Historical Chronology of William & Mary
Just the (vital) facts.
Vital Facts is a booklet published by William & Mary offering an historical chronology of the university. The first Vital Facts was a four-page leaflet published in 1921 in honor of the attendance of President of the United States Warren G. Harding at the formal inauguration of Dr. J.A.C. Chandler as 19th president of W&M.
Earl Gregg Swem, then librarian of William & Mary, kept the booklet in print through successive editions in 1924, 1928 and 1935. Together with editions in 1963, 1970, 1973, 1975, 1976, 1978, 1982, 1983, 1985, 1987, 1989, 1992, 1995, 1997 and 1999, and 2004, more than 162,000 copies of the outline of the history of W&M have been distributed throughout the world.
Get to know William & Mary through its rich and storied past—a foundation of historical milestones built upon through a vibrant, more recent history.

The Phillies had been sailing along as the top team in baseball for a few weeks now. Now that they've got that out of their system, the team has calmed down to a middle ground and suddenly the team has found a rut in the road as they lost last night which brings them to first 3 game losing streak of the season.
The reasons for this are many. I'd like to call it a lack of situational hitting. The Phillies are getting base runners, but can't score them. Take a look at what the Cardinals did last night. They bunted a runner early in the game, that is my kind of baseball. Move the runner at any cost. The Phillies never do this, in fact, they hardly bunt at all. Who's fault is this, and would it help the Phillies break out of this offensive slump?
The moment the good things on the field stop happening, is the moment that there is a microscope put on the whole team and why they aren't as successful as they should be. This is now one of those times. There will be a lot said about the ballclub that only 10 days ago was unthinkable.
It's the return of Roy Oswalt to the mound for the Phillies tonight. He'll give us 60-65 pitches and it will be interesting to see what happens with his start tonight. After his warmup game in Clearwater, Oswalt left Brighthouse Field without speaking to anyone in the press. Why? Here were a group of reporters who were concerned about Oswalt but he wasn't going to be bothered giving them a statement or two about himself. Hey Roy, how do ya feel? Hey, Roy, nice outing how is everything? No, he just left into a dark Florida night and off he went. Maybe this is how these guys treat one another in the clubhouse and this is just a big team of assembled superstars that have no time for anybody.

From: The Harmonist. No 15. Kartika 2005
Excerpts from a lecture delivered by:
Sri Srimad Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada
in the Sarasvata Assembly Hall, Sri Caitanya Matha, Mayapura
Saturday, 9.00 pm, on the 28th day of the month of Magha (January) 1931
The truth of who is visaya and who is
asraya appears in the heart of one who remains engaged in service to Srila
Gurudeva. This truth does not manifest in the heart by an artificial means. When
the tendency to serve arises in a fortunate soul, this truth automatically
appears in his heart. We are not obliged to serve anyone other than our Gurudeva.
The nature of nitya-lila (Krsnas eternal pastimes with His devotees), which
even Sesa, Siva, Brahma and others cannot conceive of, will never be realized by
one whose consciousness is polluted with mundane conceptions.

A lot of dumb crap.
Thankfully, the photo gallery wall idea isn't one of them.
So do you wanna see? I'll show you mine if you show me yours.
Well, first off, let us view my odd little walkway, yet again.
Aw. There it is. Was.
So this space was going to be the coolest pantry known to man-- ya know what? Let's not go there.
Moving on.
To one side, we now have our Music Book Shelves.
As seen in Exhibit A, above.
And the other side? The other side shall be my photo gallery wall. Why do I love pictures so much and have so few of them in my house? Minds are baffled.
and then I went with Ana's Gallery Shelves.
'Cause they are easy peasy. Not like the tent "easy".
Easy, as in, "these shelves are so easy to make that it makes painting seem hard and annoying. So, soooo annoying." That kind of easy.
(Look Dad! They're all level! There's a first time for everything!)
Are you ready to see? 'Cause I loved putting pictures on this bad boy. Just picked my very favorites.
Some are oldies,
some are newbies,
but all are goodies. I mean, tell me this awesome picture of my grandma who just passed, next to her siblings, isn't darned awesome. I dare ya.
Anyhow. Shopped my own house for frames, and then hit it to the dollar store. Yep. I said the dollar store.
Betcha can't tell.
Oh, you can not either!
Check out how different my odd little walkway is now.
Bada-boom, bada-bing. See it at night?
It even has it's own little light. Aw. . .

When developers talk about building in the fast lane, they might well be talking about the construction boom in and around Homer Glen.
The rapidly expanding southwest suburb, as well as a corridor of other communities, is about to receive a huge boost of potential home buyers from the ribbons of concrete that will open Nov. 11 with the extension of Interstate Highway 355.
The effect is being felt in neighboring communities including Lockport, New Lenox, Mokena, Joliet and Manhattan.
"The new highway is opening a huge new area to the world, after years in which it was plagued by traffic tie-ups," said housing consultant Steve Hovany. He said residents "will find it easier to get to their jobs, and new jobs will come their way," thanks to I- 355.
"The area was neglected for decades because it didn't have adequate roads," Hovany added. Planning for the road, coupled with delays due to lawsuits, took more than a decade.
Earlier this year, a U.S. News & World Report study ranked Will County eighth-worst in the nation for average commuting time to work, at just over 34 minutes. The new highway already has prompted a boom of construction among builders, including Hartz Homes, William Ryan Homes, MC Custom Homes, Neumann Homes, Camelot Homes, Hearthside Homes, O'Donnell Construction, Beechen & Dill Builders, Hartford Development, and BWC Custom Homes, among others.
"People are coming here from far and wide. Lockport is booming, and so is Homer Glen, while New Lenox is skyrocketing," said realty broker Pete Ciaccio.
He said home buyers are attracted to the area by its open space, which the village is committed to maintaining.
"This is the nearest place to Chicago where people still can keep a horse, and there still are a number of farms," Ciaccio said.
He recently sold a home to a couple from Florida. The breadwinner's job will be in Brookfield, and expects to use the new tollway link, as well as the Stevenson Expressway, to get to work, Ciaccio said.
"They wanted to find some land, a minimum of five acres, because they have a horse," he added.

"They wanted to find some land, a minimum of five acres, because they have a horse," he added.
Ciaccio currently is offering a horse farm that faces 143rd Street, a main artery in the suburb, as well as new homes that are under construction.
As the new interstate link opens, Homer Glen residents say they will try to avoid generating huge amounts of new traffic. While they are happy to see the growth of new housing, they are carefully monitoring each development placed within borders of the Will County community.
"Our zoning policies are very strict. The village isn't about to allow a lot of townhouses," said homeowner Matt Powell. "Residents don't want housing with a lot of density."
Powell, 43, who lives in the Meadows Edge subdivision with his wife and three children, says part of the appeal of Homer Glen is strong schools.
"The educational opportunities are very good," he said.
The couple, who originally lived in Oak Lawn, are in their second home in Homer Glen, and have lived in the suburb for 14 years.
Last year, the community passed a tough ordinance that requires developers to dedicate 20 to 50 percent of their gross land area as open space. It mandates that at least 80 percent of open space in a development be a single parcel.
Village officials said the requirement could protect as much as 1,000 acres of open space from being developed during the next 10 to 15 years.
On their Web site, they tout Homer Glen's agricultural heritage "and the presence of large lots with horses and other domestic farm animals." Also duly noted: the deer, coyotes, beavers and other wildlife that continue to enjoy the natural, well preserved habitat in the community.
Housing consultant Hovany said a goal of the village since it was incorporated in 2001 "has been to preserve a somewhat affluent lifestyle. Homer Glen has tried to avoid certain types of development, although the community has some great commercial areas."
The village, known years ago as Goodings Grove, lists as goals that it is trying to avoid "school overcrowding, flooding, road congestion, poor water quality and other environmental problems."
Homer Glen covers 22.4 square miles, of which 2 square miles are forest preserve. Its population is around 25,000, but projections by the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission say it will mushroom to 40,588—a 54 percent increase—by 2030, as home construction continues to burgeon.
A recent analysis of real estate listings in the community showed 195 single-family homes, with an average price of $398,000. There were 11 condominiums or townhouses listed, at an average price of $253,000.
At Stonebridge Woods, located off 159th Street, builders are producing 72 single-family homes, starting around $500,000, as well as 80 townhouses, starting at $369,900. The development, on 110 acres, will retain 25 acres as open space.
A Veterans Day dedication is planned for the Interstate Highway 355 extension, now named the Veterans Memorial Highway, as construction nears completion, officials said.
The Nov. 11 ceremony for the 12.5-mile leg will be followed by a 5-kilometer run and 1-mile family walk to raise funds for Salute Inc., a nonprofit organization that supports military personnel and families, officials said. The Chicagoland Bicycle Federation also will hold a 25-mile bike ride on the closed road to raise funds for a bike path along the highway.
The extension of I-355 is expected to reduce average travel time from major suburban job centers such as Oak Brook and O'Hare International Airport to Will County by 12 to 15 minutes and reduce travel time on local roads by 6 to 9 minutes as a result of reduced traffic loads, said officials at the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority.
Signs of growth are evident along the extension right-of-way, including new office parks, warehouse distribution centers and malls, as well as housing. More developments are on the drawing board, including a planned $300 million retail center near I-355 and Interstate Highway 80 that, at 2 million square feet, would be almost as large as the Woodfield Shopping Center in Schaumburg.
As tollway link gets ready to open, housing boom awaits Homer Glen
When developers talk about building in the fast lane, they might well be talking about the construction boom in and around Homer Glen.

Busted Single Family Home-Based Meth Labs Begin Finding Their Way Back Onto The Real Estate Market
In Ardmore, Oklahoma, KXII-TV Channel 12 reports:
- When a meth lab is busted, law enforcement removes all the chemicals, drugs and lab components, but the meth isn't entirely gone. "Itching eyes, burning skin, it may be difficult to breathe," said Bill Coye, who is a registered nurse and owner of Apex Bioclean--a company that cleans meth labs.
Those symptoms are just an example of what a family living in a former lab can experience, and Coye said the fix is remediation. "Anything absorbent in the home has to be removed," he said. "Carpet pad, tack strip, ceiling texture if it's very coarse. And what do you do with the furnace and the duct work?"
Coye's company tests the level of chemical residue, scrubs the house top to bottom, and retests.But depending on the level of contamination and size of the home that can cost anywhere between $5,000 and $15,000.(1)
Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics spokesman Mark Woodward explains that law enforcement puts a placard on the door stating that the property was a meth lab and that the owner needs to have it cleaned--but the owner doesn't always foot the bill.
"Some we fear are taking the placard off the door when we leave, airing the house out, putting some new paint on the walls, new carpet, smells wonderful like a brand new apartment and they rent it to somebody else," Woodward said.
That's because the law in Oklahoma doesn't require homeowners or landlords to clean a home before selling or renting. They are required by law to disclose to tenants or buyers that the home used to be a meth lab. But Rita Ponder with Frances One Realty said it can get tricky if the home was a foreclosure--and they often are. "It's just a home that's put on the market, and we try to sell," Ponder said. "But we don't know the circumstances of the home."
Last year 829 homes were busted as meth labs in the state, and with that number on the rise, Woodward said some Oklahomans have wondered why no law exists requiring meth lab cleanup. The answer comes down to money. "Is it the Bureau of Narcotics that pays and then we recoup the loss from the defendants? Well no, because the defendants don't have any money," said Woodward.
And OBN estimates it would cost the state between $17 million and $37 million to finance all the cleanups.
So to avoid being stuck with the bill, Woodward, Coye and Ponder all recommend doing your homework before you move in: ask neighbors about the history of the home, ask the police or sheriff's office to look it up, or check the DEA's list of clandestine labs online. But the only way to really know is to test.
"To make sure that that individual who moves into that house with his or her family is going to be safe," said Coye. "And that really is what this is about. This is about public health and safety."
If you've already moved into a former meth lab and that fact wasn't disclosed by the seller or landlord, Woodward adds that you have grounds for legal action.

George, Hansbrough lead Pacers over Bobcats, 101-77
Send a link to a friend
[February 14, 2013]
(AP) -- Paul George posted his first career triple-double with 23 points, 12 rebounds and a career-high 12 assists, and the Indiana Pacers snapped a two-game losing streak with a 101-77 rout of the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday night.
Tyler Hansbrough tied a season high with 19 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the Pacers starting in place of David West, who was sidelined by an eye injury.
Byron Mullens led the Bobcats with 19 points and Gerald Henderson chipped in 14.
The first quarter started as a shootout with Indiana and Charlotte combining for 59 points on 55.6 percent shooting. The Pacers held a 30-29 lead after the first before limiting the Bobcats to 23 percent shooting (14-for-61) over the final three quarters.
George opened the game with a corner 3-pointer and finished the opening quarter with 11 points.
The Pacers stepped up on the defensive end in the second quarter, holding Charlotte without a field goal for nearly three minutes and to only 17 points in the quarter on 5-of-20 shooting. But Indiana's offense didn't fare any better with 19 points in the second.
Indiana closed the first half on a 9-2 run and started the third with an 12-6 stretch that included a tip-in from Roy Hibbert, a transition jumper from George Hill and a two-hand dunk by Hansbrough off a pass from Hill.
[to top of second column]
Orlando Johnson gave the Pacers their biggest lead of the game
-- 70-60 -- on a free throw with eight seconds left in the third quarter. The Pacers ran away in the fourth quarter with little resistance from the Bobcats, who were outscored 52-31 after halftime.
NOTES: The Pacers were only 6-for-19 from 3-point range, but Hill was a perfect 3-for-3. ... Bismack Biyombo had 16 rebounds and four blocks for the Bobcats.

Albuquerque, NM (SportsNetwork.com) - The University of New Mexico announced Monday that head men's basketball coach Craig Neal, who became the first rookie coach in school history to lead the Lobos to the NCAA Tournament, will receive a two-year contract extension.
Neal, whose original contract was for five years and ran through the 2017-18 season, will now see his contract run through the 2019-20 season.
Neal took over the head job this season following six seasons as the associate head coach with the program and led the Lobos to a 27-7 record, including a 15-3 mark in the Mountain West and a 2-2 record against Top 25 programs.
He also led the Lobos to a third straight Mountain West Tournament title, though New Mexico lost to Stanford in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
"We are excited about the direction of the program under Craig's leadership, and we are glad that he wants to be here at the University of New Mexico," said New Mexico vice president for athletics Paul Krebs.

"My neighborhood is bigger than yours!" So what? Your mother wears army boots.
Dorchester is big, but bigger isn't necessarily better. After all, it's not the size of the tool but how effectively you use it. Does Dorchester live up to its potential merely by being the biggest and most diverse jurisdiction in Boston? In some ways. The situation works very well for very many individuals. That isn't to say there isn't room for improvement. Parts of Dorchester are impoverished. There is an abundance of dearth and a squandering of unrecognized potential.
Despite its bulk and area, Dorchester more often seems an appendix to the metropolitan body politic than a vital organ. All of the neighborhoods that don't suck at the tourist industry's teat seem that way. Boston has an identity, but Dorchester's part in that isn't what sells airline tickets or hotel rooms. It's a shame because a narrated bus tour around Dorchester would highlight any number of fascinating, historical facts. The same can be said of Roxbury, East Boston and Charlestown. I'm not so sure about Allston/Brighton, Hyde Park or West Roxbury, but people more familiar with those parts of town will probably make the argument that they equally deserve attention and promotion. They do. If a visitor wants to know Boston in the round, he or she will venture outside downtown.
Beacon Hill, Chinatown, the North End: they are smaller than Dorchester. Newbury Street is a snippet of Dot Ave's length. It's not how much you have, it's how you use it. This isn't only about attracting tourists because, after all, who needs them? It is about having a voice in the government and getting a fair share as well as more than a glad handshake and a fair weather how-do-you-do. Dorchester's citizens should be better represented and better better understood as the vital part of the larger city that it is.
Because I live in Dorchester, I can say without worrying about contradiction, "My neighborhood is bigger than yours." You can say in reply, "Yeah, but your mayor wears army boots." Well of course. He's got to cover his Achilles heels and clay feet somehow, doesn't he?

Ashtanga was named after a type of yoga. In Sanskrit it means "eight-limbed", which I find quite appropriate, give the amount of swirls and curls. The font is 'all-caps', but the upper and lower case glyphs differ completely. They are, of course, fully interchangeable. Ashtanga comes with multi language support.

The widow and daughter of slain drug lord Carl Williams will be forced from their Melbourne home, with the property to be seized and sold by the Australian Taxation Office to settle a longstanding family debt.
Roberta Williams learned on Wednesday that she had failed in her appeal to stop the ATO selling the Essendon house - worth more than $1 million - left to her daughter Dhakota by Carl's father, George Williams.
George, who died in 2016, had struck a settlement deal with the ATO to mortgage his Primrose Street house, but died with $740,000 still owing.
In March, the Supreme Court of Victoria determined Roberta had no claim to the house and made orders for it to be sold to cover George's liabilities.
In her appeal, Roberta argued a deal had been made by Carl with Victoria Police, including wiping George's tax debt, in exchange for information about a series of gangland murders.
Carl was bashed to death inside Barwon Prison in 2010 before he could testify in court and Victoria Police cancelled its offer.
The ATO argued that it had no involvement in Carl's deal with Victoria Police.
In her published findings, Justice Joanne Cameron said George Williams was informed and knew his tax debt had not been discharged.
She said Roberta, in documents lodged with the court, claimed she'd overheard conversations George had with the tax office, "where he expressed his anguish over the alleged tax debt and he told them that he was very sick and suffered from heart problems and depression".
But Justice Cameron said that was insufficient for her to determine the ATO knew about George's health or that he had a disability impeding his ability to act in his own best interests.
"It is never the case that decisions of this nature which affect the rights of individuals, in this case to have a roof over their head ... weigh lightly upon the court. Quite the contrary," she said in her decision.
"However ... the appeal has no merit, was bound to fail and ought be dismissed in its entirety."
On Wednesday, pro bono barrister John Selimi advised Justice Cameron no ruling for Roberta to pay costs could be made, as she was bankrupt.

Airstrike controllers' school due at Lackland
The Air Force said Wednesday it plans to move its training hub for airmen who direct airstrikes in combat to San Antonio.
The Tactical Air Control Party and the Air Liaison Officer training school are expected to begin operations at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland late next year.
Lackland was considered the more economical choice after the Air Force looked for a place that could graduate more airmen in a career field that long has been stressed by two wars.
Throughout the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, officers who command the close air-support teams have been in short supply and forced to
repeatedly deploy — one reason why the service wants to shift training to San Antonio, where graduates will rise by a third.
Now at Hurlburt Field in Fort Walton Beach, Fla., the 19-week TACP apprentice training course produces about 270 graduates a year, but the Air Force wants to increase that number by 100, said Collen McGee, Lackland spokeswoman.
The school also will have 65 instructors permanently assigned to the base.
The Air Force gave three reasons for moving the school. It said Lackland is preferred over Keesler AFB in Biloxi, Miss., because it has fewer "black flag" days, when training operations are suspended due to heat and humidity.
"There are shorter commute times to the training location here and the estimated bed-down costs are approximately $1 million less expensive," McGee added.
An environmental assessment must be done before the action is final.
Col. Mark Camerer, commander of Lackland's 37th Training Wing, said Air Force leaders would hand down a final decision after the review is completed this fall.
Two members of Congress from Texas praised the decision.
"Military families are an integral part of San Antonio, and I am pleased the Air Force is seriously considering the city as a home to their expanding military training school," said Rep. Joaquín Castro, D-San Antonio, a member of the House Armed Services Committee.
Rep. Pete Gallego, D-Alpine, called the training "necessary to meet the changing needs of our military" as well as a bonus for San Antonio.
"This training school benefits our military families and serves as an economic boon to the city," he said.
Often near the fighting, TACPs are small groups of airmen who authorize pilots to drop bombs on targets. They're typically on the battlefield with conventional and special operations forces, clearing the area as U.S. troops advance.
"As all branches of the military service have become more lethal, primarily because of the advances in precision weaponry, with precision comes a requirement to have increased fidelity in your targeting, and that's what the TACP does for you," retired Gen. Ronald Fogleman, a former Air Force chief of staff, said.
"Rather than indiscriminately employ artillery or indirect fire or carpet bombing ... the TACPs with the equipment that they have and their links into all the center systems allow you ... to precisely target anything, damned near anywhere on the face of the Earth."
Flanking a few hundred special operations forces working in small teams, about 100 Air Force TACPs and combat controllers ordered airstrikes against the Taliban at the start of the Afghan war.
Both Fogleman and retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Michael Longoria, who led close air-support teams in Afghanistan and Iraq, called the airmen among the most powerful weapons in the American arsenal.
"Extremely lethal," Longoria said. "There are examples of one Air Force combat controller in one 24-hour period (who) probably was directly responsible for taking out, I would guess, upward of 300 to 400 Taliban."
