Field hockey players might wear skirts, but that doesn't mean they aren't tough. Check out New Zealand striker Katie Glynn here. She tries to knock the ball away from her opponent, but instead gets bonked on the noggin. Listen to the crowd let out a collective "oohhh" as it happens, and again as it is replayed twice. This is what Glynn looked like as she was helped off the field, and here she is after getting bandaged up. She was able to return to the game, but New Zealand lost to the Netherlands in a shootout.

Editors' note: The rating on this review has been lowered because of changes in the competitive marketplace.
Among higher-end LCD TVs, a 120Hz refresh rate is fast becoming a standard feature. Typical HDTVs refresh at 60Hz, so doubling the refresh rate allows TV makers to add dejudder video processing that smooths out the picture, reduce blurring in motion, and match the frame rate of 1080p/24 sources like Blu-ray movies. Never mind that dejudder can make film look like video and introduce artifacts, or that the benefits of reduced blurring and 1080p/24 compatibility are difficult for average viewers to spot--like most differentiating, complex-sounding features that enable manufacturers to charge more for higher-end models (1080p anyone?), 120Hz is here to stay. Or maybe it's just a stepping stone to even higher Hz.
The 52-inch Sony KDL-52XBR7 is the first to offer a 240Hz refresh rate. We're sure other manufacturers will come out with 240Hz TVs next year, but for now Sony stands alone. Aside from the higher refresh rate and much, much higher price, this set is identical to the company's KDL-52XBR6, and we even gave them both the same score. In our tests the main benefit of 240Hz turned out to be further-reduced blurring in motion, which, as we mentioned above, is difficult for just about everyone to discern. Don't get us wrong, the Sony KDL-52XBR7 is still a very capable HDTV, with solid color and black level performance and plenty of features. We simply find it hard to justify that much extra cash for such a small increase in performance, especially when better-performing LED-based LCDs and high-end plasmas are available for around the same price.
[Editors' Note: Many of the Design and Features elements are identical between the KDL-52XBR7 and the KDL-52XBR6 we reviewed earlier, so readers of the earlier review may experience some déjàvu when reading the same sections below.]
The 52-inch XBR7 is still relatively sleek for such a large HDTV. The glossy black frame is the same thickness on all four sides of the screen, and below hangs a thin sheet of transparent plastic that holds up a horizontal speaker bar stretching the width of the television. You can peer through the plastic to check out the silver pedestal of Sony's stand, along with whatever else you've stashed behind the TV.
One difference between the larger models in the XBR7 series and the company's non-XBR Z series is the ability to customize the silver speaker bar with a different-colored grille. Optional grilles, priced at $99 a pop, come in black, black, brown, red, or gold. (Attentive readers may remember that we had originally said the grille was silver, as was the one on the TV shipped to us. Then we indicated it was black as "corrected" by Sony. Turns out it's silver after all and the correction was wrong, last we heard from the company).
All told, the Sony KDL-52XBR7 measures 49.5 wide by 34.5 inches high by 13.6 inches deep and weighs 94 pounds including the nonswiveling stand; sans stand the panel measures 49.5 by 32.8 by 4.9 inches and weighs 79 pounds.
The clicker included with the XBR was less impressive than we expected. On the plus side, it's backlit with blue lighting, but most of the controls are for other gear and the extra controls that actually pertain to the TV are crowded into the top and difficult to tell apart. Too many buttons ring the main cursor control, and the remote's larger size requires a stretch to reach the volume and channel controls. It's still not a bad remote; it's just not up to Sony's usual standards.
Here's where we mention that we find the PS3-like "Cross Media Bar" (XMB) arrangement a bit cumbersome to use on a TV. Unlike less expensive 2008 Sony TVs, which only have three horizontal selections among myriad vertical ones, the XBR7's menu adds two more selections, "photo" and "music," for use with the USB port, an optional Bravia Internet Video Link (which adds a "videos" choice), or a networked media server for photos. Of course, the majority of users probably won't access those functions, so we question the value of giving them so prominent a location in the menu.
One improvement over 2007's menu is that all of the picture-affecting items are now grouped under the picture menu (duh), and another is that the secondary "options" menu calls up a few more selections, reducing the need to visit the main menu much. Sony has also added a third way to access different inputs (in addition to the leftmost of three horizontal XMB items and a dedicated "input" menu), which consists of a new "favorites" screen that includes last-used inputs, favorite channels you manually add, and a weird screen saver that can be programmed with images grabbed from a composite or TV input only. This is one of the most varied and option-riddled menu systems we've seen, although despite the Sony's sophistication we prefer a more straightforward arrangement like that found on the Samsung LN52A650.
The major difference between the KDL-52XBR7 and every other TV on the market today is its refresh rate. Unlike most high-end LCD HDTVs that have refresh rates of 120Hz, including the more-expensive, LED-based KDL-55XBR8, the XBR7 refreshes its screen twice as fast, at 240Hz, interpolating three extra frames for every original frame instead of one. Naturally, Sony includes its MotionFlow dejudder processing, available in two strengths of smoothness. We'll cover the benefits of dejudder and 240Hz as we saw them in the Performance section below.
Few items are missing from the Sony KDL-52XBR7's list of options. The TV has very basic networking functionality; the Ethernet port on the rear of the set allows it to work with DLNA-compatible media server software, such as Windows Media Player 11, to grab photos from a networked PC to display on the TV's screen. Similar functionality is available on numerous devices, including the company's own PlayStation 3, and from certain TVs, including Samsung's LN46A750 and Pioneer's PDP-5020FD. Unlike those products, however, the XBR7 can't stream music or video via the network, just photos and music, so it's much less useful. To stream video you'll need to purchase a Bravia Internet Video Link (BIVL) instead. Check out this blog post for hands-on testing of Sony's photo streaming, which we performed on a Z-series model.
Picture controls are as comprehensive as you'd expect on a high-end HDTV. Sony offers four picture presets, each of which can be adjusted independently per input. Among the basic settings, available on all presets, is a pair of noise reduction settings and three color temperature presets. More-advanced settings, which can't be adjusted while in the Vivid preset but can on the other three, include a white balance control to further tune color temperature, a gamma setting, and a few other adjustments that we generally left turned off for best picture quality.
Video processing options aside from MotionFlow include CineMotion (notice the theme?) which, among other things, affects the TV's 2:3 pulldown performance; a Game Mode that removes video processing entirely to eliminate any delay between a game controller and the onscreen action; and a photo/video optimizer designed to do exactly that (don't ask us, we didn't test it). Although Sony claims that the XBR7 has better video processing than the XBR6, the XBR7 lacks Sony's DRC settings, which are found on the company's XBR8 models.
Sony includes four aspect ratio modes for HD sources, and a "Full Pixel" setting in the Display Area section of the Wide menu allows you to make one of those modes display 1080-resolution content without any scaling or overscan. We recommend using this setting unless you notice interference along the extreme edges of the screen, which is the fault of the channel or service, not the TV. The menu has a cool graphical display that illustrates the differences between the various aspect ratio settings.
Conveniences start with an option we haven't seen on many HDTVs recently: the TV Guide onscreen electronic programming guide (EPG). TVG allows the Sony to display a grid of information for antenna and cable channels, but people who tune primarily with an external cable or satellite box will probably use their box's EPG instead. In other words, TV Guide won't be useful for most KDL-52XBR7 owners, and we didn't test it for this review. The TV's picture-in-picture mode, which takes the form of a larger and a smaller image side-by-side, is limited to showing just the TV input in the secondary window, or the PC input in the main window in combination with other video inputs in the smaller window.
We were pleased to see a two-step power-saving option that limited peak brightness and really cut down on energy consumption (see the Juice Box below). The XBR7 does use a bit more juice, according to our tests, than the XBR6, but it's still quite efficient for a big-screen LCD.

Eye Sets School Record in Mizzou Win
COLUMBIA -- Morgan Eye had a career performance with 26 points and set a school record with eight three-pointers as Mizzou (6-2) pulled away for an 82-71 win over Tennessee-Martin on Monday night at Mizzou Arena.
The Tigers had three players in double figures, including Bri Kulas, who added 20 points and a game-high 14 rebounds. Missouri out-scored UTM 35-8 in bench points and connected on 14 treys in the impressive 11-point win.
UT-Martin opened the game's scoring with a jumper, but Mizzou answered with a 7-0 run from Sydney Crafton, Kulas, and Liz Smith. The Skyhawks answered with a three to keep it close at 7-5, but the hot-shooting Tigers kept the visitors off balance all night.
The Skyhawks found their shooting touch after the first media timeout, making a pair of threes to trade points with Liene Priede. Sydney Crafton and Kyley Simmons also had buckets to keep the game tied before a run by the Tigers created separation.
Eye hit her second of eight treys during the run to build the Mizzou lead to four, but the Skyhawks stormed back with five straight points to take a one-point lead, 28-27.
Following another bucket by UT-Martin, Eye connected on her third trey to even the game at 30-30 and Kulas put Mizzou on top again with two free throws. Four straight points gave the lead back to UT-Martin, but Lianna Doty's three-pointer gave the Tigers a 35-34 lead.
Mizzou extended that advantage to 40-37 at the half, but the Skyhawks opened with four consecutive points to retake the lead, 41-40.
The game remained tied, 53-53, when Doty knocked home back-to-back hoops. Martin cut the lead to 57-56, but Simmons answered with a three of her own, her third of the game, to help the Tigers begin to pull away. Crafton then made a layup and Eye made two straight treys to push the lead to nine.
Kulas put the Tiger lead back into double digits with a layup and Eye then nailed a straightaway three to ice the game.
Missouri returns to action on Thursday vs. Missouri State at 7 p.m. at Mizzou Arena.

About Little Brother
Part of the new millennium resurgence of alternative rap, Little Brother drew from atypical inspirations for Southern hip-hop: classic Native Tongues outfits like De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest, as well as more recent torch-bearers like the Roots and Black Star. MCs Phonte (born Phonte Coleman) and Big Pooh (born Thomas Jones) swapped rhymes with an easy chemistry, but the group's real focal point was DJ/producer 9th Wonder (born Pat Douthit), an old-school sampling technician who quickly established himself as a worthy heir to production wizards like DJ Premier and Pete Rock. Little Brother formed at North Carolina Central University, located in Durham. All three members had known each other since 1998, when they performed in a local hip-hop outfit called the Organization; after that group's dissolution in 2000, they spearheaded a 12-member crew dubbed the Justus League. The trio worked together off and on in varying combinations, until they officially teamed up as Little Brother in August 2001, adopting the name as a humble nod to their influences. Their first recording together was "Speed," a playful, down-to-earth look at the pressures of holding a day job while trying to make it in the music business; it set the tone for much of their early material. Over the next few months, they developed enough of a repertoire to start performing live around the area, and quickly earned a following. When the group made its music available for download on the Internet, a substantial buzz built far outside of North Carolina, and it eventually earned them a deal with the Oakland-based ABB Records in 2002. In early 2003, Little Brother released their full-length debut, The Listening, which won widespread critical praise that focused especially on 9th Wonder's production. The buzz helped him earn a raft of high-profile outside gigs, including tracks on a pair of multi-platinum releases: The Black Album by Jay-Z and Destiny Fulfilled by Destiny's Child. Little Brother leapt to a major label (along with ABB) in 2005 for The Minstrel Show. In January 2007, as the group was finishing up its next release, Getback, it was announced that Little Brother had left Atlantic and that 9th Wonder had amicably left Little Brother. The 2008 mixtape ...And Justus for All was their first release as a duo. Two years later they announced their coming album, Leftback, would likely be their last. ~ Steve Huey

Maylin Rodriguez-Paez, RNKids are under a lot of pressure today. In order to succeed, they have to do tons of homework, compete with their peers, and get top notch grades.
And as a concerned parent — or grandparent — you probably want your kids to do well too, right?
Well, according to several studies, supplementing with omega-3s might impact a child's overall school performance.
So apart from the obvious, such as after-school tutoring, nutritional changes may be able to give your child an extra edge.
Let's explore a bit more below.
Omega-3s May Help Reading ScoresAs a former reading tutor, I can tell you that many kids struggle with reading problems. This is something that shouldn't be taken lightly, since poor reading skills can negatively impact their future — not to mention their self-esteem.
A 2012 study showed that DHA (a type of omega-3) improved the reading scores of children. Scientists recruited healthy kids who scored low on standardized reading tests and gave one group of students 600 mg of DHA from algal oil and the other group a placebo. The treatment lasted 16 weeks.
The results of the study were interesting. The DHA had no effect on kids who scored in the lowest third of standardized tests, but it did help those kids in the lowest fifth.1 These kids were able to catch up with their classmates, which is certainly a good thing.
Omega-3s Boost IQChildren can reap the benefits of omega-3s way before they enter school. In fact, the benefits actually start in the womb.
Norwegian researchers found that women who took DHA and EPA during pregnancy (or lactation) had children with higher IQs.2 The IQ scores were determined when the children reached 4 years of age.
Why the connection? It might have to do with the makeup of a baby's brain, which is largely composed of DHA.
DHA is needed for the growth of neurons and other brain structures during fetal development. So it's no wonder that omega-3s impact a child's intelligence when they're older.
Additional Benefits of Omega-3 for Kids in SchoolApart from helping reading scores and boosting a child's IQ, omega-3s have been shown to help children in other ways, including the following:
- Behavior1
- Attention span3
- Spelling3
- Hyperactivity3
- Vision4
How to Get More Omega-3s Into KidsOmega-3 acids are often lacking in today's processed, Western diets. That is why we suggest fish oil supplements. They contain DHA and EPA, which is not found in flax oil, for example.
Coldwater fish like salmon and tuna are great sources of DHA and EPA, but we all know that most kids are finicky eaters, and fish is usually not a favorite food.
Luckily, the market has plenty of omega-3 fish oils that are very kid-friendly. Look around a little — we're sure you won't have any problems finding some great options.
The Bottom LineThese days, kids are at increased pressure to perform well in school, even more so than a decade ago. So why not supplement their diet with something that is healthy and may even boost their performance?
Have any of you found that fish or omega-3s have helped your own kid's (or grandkid's) overall school performance? Please share your experience in the comments!

Trading heroes for birds, David Maisel says of his move from Marvel Entertainment to Rovio, developers of the hit mobile game, "The business model, intellectual properties, and the franchise potential of Angry Birds give Rovio the most exciting prospects I have seen in the entertainment business since Marvel in 2003."
But then he would say that, given they're paying his bills.
Rovio recently bought a Finnish animation studio with an eye towards making Angry Birds movies in-house.

While you're planning your weekend, I want you to consider skipping the shopping/movie/park. Instead: strap on a helmet, sit on an airbag, and deploy it as your friends watch and laugh. Faceplant? No, no. That's a neckplant you're watching.
Some NSFW language (understandably) and a loud BOOM here, so head's up if you're at the office. But don't turn the volume down too low; otherwise you might miss the quote of the day.

The Fire is an organization that is unafraid to take risks.
They showed that this offseason, making numerous changes to a squad that finished the 2009 season a shootout short of an appearance in the MLS Cup Final.
They showed it on Monday, when they released veteran goalkeeper Jon Busch and promoted 24-year-old Andrew Dykstra to the starter spot.
And they showed it again Saturday night, when Head Coach Carlos de los Cobos made some surprising lineup decisions for the Fire's season opener at the New York Red Bulls.
Perhaps the most surprising decision de los Cobos made Saturday night was starting natural midfielder Mike Banner at left back ahead of defender Krzysztof Krol.
Banner was exposed in the 40th minute, when his failed clearance lead to New York striker Juan Pablo Angel feeding Red Bull midfielder Joel Lindpere at the top of the box. Lindpere made the Fire pay for Banner's botched header, quickly controlling the loose ball before blasting an 18-yard volley past Dykstra for the only goal of New York's 1-0 victory at Red Bull Arena.
But the decision to start Banner is far from the only question de los Cobos will have to face regarding tonight's defeat. Fire faithful will also be left wondering what happened to the new, "attractive" brand of attacking soccer they heard so much about this past offseason.
Little resembling an attractive, possession-based attack was on display for Chicago on Saturday night, as the squad struggled to create any real, clear-cut chances. Not helping the cause was the Fire midfield, who was outplayed by their New York counterparts.
First teamer John Thorrington missed the match with a quad injury, but the collective midfield's play will have to improve should the Fire continue to be counted amongst the league's best teams.
Also puzzling was de los Cobos' decision to sub midfielder Justin Mapp on for forward Brian McBride while the team was down a goal with only 10 minutes to play. McBride led Chicago in scoring in 2009 and his strong aerial presence was missed when Patrick Nyarko – who replaced McBride at forward – was unable to put away a 79th minute free header in the box. One can only wonder what McBride – who was subbed off literally seconds before Baggio Husidic played Nyarko the ball – would have done with the chance.
Nyarko did play very well in his 90 minutes of playing time, and was the only Fire attacker that looked dangerous throughout the entire match. Physical forward Collins John also did well in roughly minutes of action in the second half, disrupting the New York defense and creating numerous half-chances for the Fire. It will be interesting to see how John and McBride – who combined for 20 goals at Fulham during the 2005-2006 English Premier League season – will play when given a full 90 minutes together.
Despite these few bright spots, it was ultimately a night to forget for the Fire. The team will certainly have a lot of work to do – and a lot of questions to answer – before they travel to Colorado for next week's game against the Rapids.

For example, when I first started out freelancing a year ago, my business card had my name, email and website - and up top a list of the technologies I'm comfortable with. In retrospect I don't feel this was a wise decision.
Why would a potential client know what Python or Ruby is? How could he know what .NET was?
I still have a couple of the old batch left, but I'm going to send out for some new cards.
What do you recommend we developers have to show on our business cards? Am I correct in thinking listing technologies is meaningless to potential clients?

Ferrari President at the centenary of the Italo-German Chamber of Commerce
Frankfurt, 17 November – Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo was the guest of honour today in Frankfurt at a conference entitled "Italy innovates and enchants," held to mark one hundred years of the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Germany.
In his address, Montezemolo underlined the importance of the role of this body and those institutions that raise awareness of Italian excellence abroad. "We are convinced that Italy has the necessary skills to take on an important role in Europe to promote its excellence," he said. "Our brands are highly rated in other countries and this is down to commitment, hard work and traditional skills, all qualities which typify Italian excellence. We are a great country and, after Germany, we are the country with the strongest industrial tradition."
Gemany has historically been an important and very strong market for Ferrari and the ties that link this country and the Maranello marque, which in 2011 is actually delivering record economic results, both in terms of turnover and car deliveries, are very close. Germany has always been Ferrari's number one market in Europe, in a country that boasts many owners and collectors, who are always enthusiastic about the new models that Ferrari has introduced. Another important link between Ferrari and Germany is Michael Schumacher, the German champion who was and always will be one of the main players in the long history of the Scuderia.

pBone 1 Plastic Trombone - Black
The fun and hard-wearing Jiggs pBone comes in a smart carry bag along with a mouthpiece. Designed in the UK for brass players by brass players, pBone is distributed worldwide by Conn-Selmer, makers of the finest trombones.
The pBone is a truly authentic musical instrument that has already started to revolutionize the way we think about trombones and brass instruments.
pBone is remarkably tough. It can take knocks and bumps in its stride. The pBone is therefore perfect to allow beginners to explore the trombone without any fear of damage.
At less than half the weight of a brass trombone the pBone is ideal for the younger player and for all those who may have difficulty with the weight and balance of a metal trombone.
The composite slide tubes lap in over time so the slide gets better and better with use. The unique strength of the glass fibre material means that "dings and dents" in your slide are a thing of the past!
Jiggs have designed a mouthpiece especially for the pBone. It has a small shank that matches standard medium bore trombones so any regular small shank metal mouthpiece will fit.
Water key
Amongst the many unique design features we thought long and hard about pBone has its own unique water key design.
Lockable slide
pBone has a lockable slide that features a graphic to ensure the locking process is clear and simple to all.
The pBone has been thoughtfully designed to allow hands of various shapes and sizes to find a comfortable and effective grip of the instrument. This encourages good posture and the correct hand positioning. The ergonomic features of the pBone allow those with limited or restricted use of their hands and arms to engage with the trombone.
All ABS parts are extremely durable and the unique one-piece bell and gooseneck design is extraordinarily strong. The glass fibre slide tube is immeasurably stronger than fragile brass tubing and will withstand collisions that would demolish a traditional brass trombone slide. pBone may not be indestructible but it is certainly the most durable and robust trombone ever produced!
pBone is available in an array of bright and bold colours making it attractive to younger players. Beginners can leap into the playing experience without the usual concerns about mishandling or damaging a traditional brass instrument. So let the fun begin!
Be Free
What about all the places you can take a pBone that you would never take an expensive brass instrument? We've already seen pBones on bicycles, on the ski slope, on the beach and even high on a trapeze. The only limit is your imagination!
Around the world pBone is having a profound influence on the delivery of brass learning, especially in large group and class situations. Children are enjoying the immediacy that pBone brings to the learning experience whilst scores of teachers are using pBone to engage young children with the trombone as never before.
pBone represents remarkable value for money in terms of sound quality, manufacture quality and of course its instant playability.

Stay in D.C. and do your jobs
Believe it or not, Democrats and Republicans sometimes come together and do something positive in Washington, and that has happened with the No Budget, No Pay proposal that won bipartisan congressional support and White House backing as part of the debt ceiling bill. This effort to compel both the House and the Senate to pass a budget this year (something the Senate hasn't done in four years) or else lose some pay has been a signature initiative of No Labels — a coalition of concerned citizens across the political spectrum demanding progress, not partisanship from our elected officials. As a national co-founder of No Labels, I am gratified that No Budget, No Pay has been embraced on Capitol Hill. It's a positive first step but an even stronger No Budget, No Pay proposal should be enacted to be effective in the next Congress.
However, these steps are not enough — not by a long shot. We need a fiscal grand bargain in 2013, and we have several critical deadlines facing us over the next several months that must be addressed: automatic spending cuts (sequestration) that kick in March 1; an expiration of the funding for fiscal 2013 and possible government shutdown on March 27 (if continuing resolutions aren't passed); budgets that must be approved by April 15; and the deferred debt ceiling confronting us again on May 19. Elected officials should use these upcoming deadlines as an incentive to move toward that ultimate grand bargain, and this deal must effectively address the huge structural deficits that pose a serious threat to our collective future.
Story Continued Below
Clearly our elected officials have very little time to achieve a lot of things. They have even less time than you'd think for a reason you may find hard to believe: Congress plans to be adjourned and outside of Washington for a full month during this critical period!
Yes, you heard right. Starting with last week, the week of Jan. 28, the House of Representatives has breaks scheduled that include Feb. 18-22, March 25-April 5 and April 29-May 3, and the Senate plans to take several weeks off as well. And this is not unusual. For example, according to the House calendar, it only plans to be in session during 2013 for 49.5 percent of weekdays. Compare that with a person who typically gets 20 days off a year (10 vacation days and 10 holidays) — they work 92.3 percent of weekdays.
It's outrageous that at a time when our nation's finances are in such disarray, and the clock is ticking on our potential debt bomb, our elected officials are taking "spring breaks" and a week off for every federal holiday instead of focusing full time on the task at hand. For this reason, my organization along with other groups is launching a new campaign we are calling No Deal, No Break. The premise is simple: Stay in Washington, do your job and strike a meaningful fiscal deal that can restore fiscal sanity. And until that happens, don't recess.

ALBION, Mich. – The Olivet College football team lost 42-28 to Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) rival Albion College this afternoon at Sprankle-Sprandel Stadium in Albion.
Albion secured the opening possession of the game and needed only eight plays to cover 55 yards to score the first touchdown when Michael Czarnecki rushed seven yards into the end zone. Olivet tied the game on its second series of the game when freshman Tyler Lassic (Fishers, Ind.) scored from two yards out. Freshman Jared Gensler (Whitehall) made the PAT kick.
Early in the second quarter, the football sailed over the Briton punter's head and Olivet took over at the Albion 19-yard line. The Comets capped the six-play drive with one-yard sneak by sophomore Braden Black (Battle Creek/Harper Creek). Gensler converted the PAT kick for a 14-7 Olivet lead.
Albion added another touchdown to tie the game with 4:24 left in the second quarter. The Britons forced the Comets to punt and took over with 54 seconds left before halftime. They took a 21-14 halftime lead on a 30-yard touchdown pass from Dominic Bona to Justin Losey.
Albion went ahead 28-14 midway through the third quarter. Olivet scored with three minutes left in the quarter when Black connected with sophomore Kyle Bryson (Rives Junction/Leslie) for a seven-yard touchdown pass.
The Britons went back ahead by two touchdowns late in the third quarter when Bona threw a 33-yard touchdown pass to Zachary Brewer. The Comets cut their deficit to seven points at the 7:10 mark of the fourth quarter on a 13-yard touchdown pass from Black to Bryson.
Albion punted the ball back to Olivet with 5:25 remaining in the game. The Comets were able to get down to the Briton 45 before turning the ball over on downs. Darrin Williams closed the game's scoring with a 53-yard touchdown run.
Olivet totaled 396 yards. Lassic had 26 carries for 112 yards. Black threw for 203 yards on 22-of-37 passing. Sophomore Anthony Skuratovich (Brownston/Carlson) caught six passes for 68 yards, while sophomore Tyre Alexander (Mason/Okemos) had six receptions for 50 yards. Sophomore Trevor Garbow (Alto/Caledonia) led the defense with nine tackles. Junior Ryan Armstrong (Rives Junction/Leslie) had six tackles, including 3.5 tackles for loss.
The Comets will host Trine (Ind.) University next Saturday, Nov. 9, at 1 p.m.

More than eight-in-10 head teachers said the pupil premium – worth £1.25bn next year – had either equalled or failed to make up for financial losses elsewhere, it emerged.
Just a quarter of schools claimed the money would make any difference to children's education.
The results will be seen as a blow to Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister, who has repeatedly championed the pupil premium as proof that the Liberal Democrats are having a positive effect on the Coalition's reform programme.
Today, the Department for Education insisted that the money had to be specifically used to "help schools to improve the attainment of disadvantaged pupils."
But Russell Hobby, NAHT general secretary, said: "In today's climate it is simply redistributing funds in the system, not adding more."
The pupil premium is a fixed sum handed to English state schools for each poor pupil – those from households earning less than £16,000-a-year – on their books.
This year, heads received £488 per child, rising to £600 in 2012/13, in addition to the underlying schools' budget.
But the NAHT report – based on a survey of more than 2,000 heads – found that a 32 per cent believed the cash merely equalled losses elsewhere in their budget and 53 per cent said it had not made up for existing funding shortfalls.
Under rules, primaries and secondaries with large numbers of children eligible for free lunches will receive more money, while others get less.
But figures released ahead of the NAHT's annual conference in Harrogate on Friday showed just over a quarter of heads believe it will make a difference to pupils' achievement.
More than a third of heads said it would make no difference, while a similar proportion were unsure, it emerged.
Heads were also asked what they thought the premium could pay for in reality.
Of the more than 1,000 answers given, the most popular was extra teaching assistants, teachers, support staff and teaching time, followed closely by additional support such as one-to-one or small group tuition.
Schools were also using the money to pay for resources such as books and computers, while others were spending it on school trips, extra-curricular activities for their poorest pupils and uniforms or lunches.
A DfE spokeswoman said: "The pupil premium has been designed specifically to help schools to improve the attainment of disadvantaged pupils.
"We have protected the overall schools budget in cash terms so there should be no need for schools to use the premium for anything other than this purpose.
"From September, schools will have to publish information showing how they have spent the premium and what the impact of that spend was. Schools tell us they have used this extra money to pay for catch-up lessons, one-to-one tuition or after-school clubs."
But Stephen Twigg, the Shadow Education Secretary, "The Government promised that the pupil premium would help the poorest pupils do better. But the reality on the ground is that it is merely a fig leaf for the biggest cuts to education funding since the 1950s."

Intellectual Risk in the Classroom
Sarah challenges teachers to take the intellectual risk in the classroom to maintain our best practices in light of the Common Core State Standards.
Unlike some materials that offer explicit units of study, this series reminds teachers how to maintain the integrity of innovative and student-centered classrooms. While any standards movement can default to sameness, this series shows that the national standards and a national curriculum are not the same. The teachers featured here demonstrate that the most effective curriculum is the one created by individual teachers focused on the learning needs of their students.

Empowered Patient, a regular feature from CNN Medical News correspondent Elizabeth Cohen, helps put you in the driver's seat when it comes to health care.
ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- Dr. Adam Dimitrov doesn't play favorites with patients. But he does have a few favorite patients -- ones who make it easy for him to do his job well.
Bring details about treatment you're getting from other health professionals to every appointment.
Take one of his patients who had a liver transplant. Dimitrov is her internist, and she arrives at every visit with a folder. Inside is a list of the medications she's taking, copies of letters from her other doctors and results of her latest imaging studies and lab tests.
This way, Dimitrov isn't searching through her chart for papers that might -- or very well might not -- be there.
"She makes sure that nothing falls through the cracks," he said. This way, he can use their time together to take better care of her.
Now, wait a minute. Shouldn't a doctor have everything -- reports from other physicians, lab test results -- right there? Why is it the patient's responsibility to bring them in?
It's true: In an ideal world, a doctor would have your health history, the medications you're taking and lab results right in front of him. But we live in reality, and the reality is that these things are often lost in a mound of paperwork. So here are five things you can do to help your doctor help you.
1. Bring in a list of medications
Don't waste your precious moments with the doctor saying, "Ummm, I think I take a yellow pill in the morning -- or is it pink? And maybe I take it twice a day?" She's a doctor, not a mind reader. Write a list with the name of the drug, the dosage and how often you take it. "It's surprising and unfortunate how much time is wasted when that list isn't together," said Dimitrov, a family doctor in Baltimore, Maryland.
You can get help making a list from the free Web sites of MedSort and the American Academy of Family Physicians.
2. Come armed with your personal health history
You had your appendix out when? Grandma had Huntington's disease -- or was it Hodgkin's disease? You had a stent for your clogged artery back in '93 ... or was it a balloon? Your doctor wants to know, and you shouldn't rely on your memory (this is particularly important if you have a complicated medical past).
My Personal Health Record and the U.S. Surgeon General's Family History Initiative can help you get it all organized.
3. Bring in your recent test results and doctors' notes
If Dr. Smith the orthopedist ordered an MRI of your bum knee, you should assume that Dr. Jones the rheumatologist has not seen it. You should also assume the two docs haven't spoken to each other. So before your appointment with Jones to nail down the source of your knee pain, get a copy of Smith's notes from your latest visit and a copy of those MRI results.
4. Make a list of your concerns
Dr. Dana Frank, an internist at Johns Hopkins, tells his patients to come in with a written-out list of their top three concerns for each visit. He says it makes the appointment more focused and useful for the patient.
This may sound silly -- after all, you made the appointment, and you know why you're there -- but remember that fuzzy thinking is pretty common when you get to the exam room. Frank said, "What I really want is for patients to be prepared like the Boy Scouts."
Also, if you feel like the doctor is rushing you, ask him to slow down. "There is nothing wrong with saying, 'I feel you are rushing me. I am getting nervous; I can't tell you what I need to tell you,' " Frank said.
5. Don't ask your doctor insurance questions
Don't bother, because he's clueless. "We never know the answer to what is or isn't covered by your insurer," said Dr. Jim Braude, an internist in Atlanta. "Questions about insurance just take away time in the exam room that should be about your health." Insurance questions are, of course, important; a member of your doctor's office staff should know the answer. E-mail to a friend

We finally did it! We took the children into the city today. Of course it was crazy busy there because of the holidays, but we still had a grand time. We drove in (amidst a lot of traffic) and visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I had no idea the museum was so vast! We visited the Egyptian rooms and the Arms and Armor rooms first. We figured Harris and Grace would be most interested in mummies and swords!
Before we went we read the book, "You Can't Take A Balloon Into The Metropolitan Museum of Art." It's a wordless picture book but tells a really fun story. Grace even spotted some of the art in the museum.

When it comes to keeping promises, the nuclear industry and its supporters are very good at talking the talk but very bad at walking the walk.
The industry's excited talk about a nuclear "renaissance" where a thousand new nuclear reactors would bloom and save the planet from catastrophic climate change turned out to be a dangerous fantasy. The time, money and resources wasted fantasising over new nuclear reactors have left a lost decade where energy efficiency and renewables could have made real and planet-saving progress on reducing emissions but have been shamefully neglected.
This is why the communiqué released by 12 EU nations affirming their support for nuclear power is dangerously deluded.
Showing a tasteful grasp for the timing of their propaganda– the day after the 2nd anniversary of the Fukushima disaster – Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Hungary, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain and the UK –"affirmed their commitment to collaborate in the context of the role that they believe that nuclear energy can play a part in the EU's future low carbon energy mix"
Or, in straight-talk, these nations wish to continue to prop up the nuclear boondoggle – expensive, unsafe, dirty and unable to make any significant contribution to fighting climate change – even while the chances of humanity limiting the global temperature increase to an average of two degrees Celsius are looking increasingly and terrifyingly unlikely.
The thing is, if there's one thing I've learned in my time as an observer of the nuclear industry and its boosters, it's this: nuclear talk is cheap while nuclear power is expensive and getting more so by the day.
The nuclear "renaissance" in Europe – which has been heralded for at least five years – has yielded just two partially built nuclear reactors at Olkiluoto in Finland and Flamanville in France. Both reactors, of the same European Pressurised Reactor design, are years behind schedule and billions of Euros over budget.
Which is certainly why the signatories to this week's communiqué have said:
The Member States wishing to construct new nuclear power stations signalled that an investment environment must be created taking account of the long term nature of nuclear infrastructure projects in the EU.
"An investment environment" is spin for fixing the game in the nuclear industry's favour. It's a fancy way of saying that governments must guarantee the profits of the nuclear companies for decades as well as shielding them from any liability should their reactors cause an accident. It's propaganda that says the public must pay while the nuclear companies profit.
The evidence for this is everywhere.
Look at EdF, which wants to build new nuclear reactors in the UK. It wants a guaranteed price for the electricity generated – rumoured to be at 95-99 pounds per MWh, which is twice the market price and more than the current price of wind power. The people of the UK will be locked into paying this price for decades.
Look at Japan where General Electric, Hitachi and Toshiba designed, built and serviced the reactors involved in the Fukushima nuclear disaster, yet have not paid one cent of the cost for the reactor failures, currently estimated at somewhere around $250 billion US.
Look at India where the likes of General Electric have said they don't want to do nuclear business in the country if they are made liable for any accident their reactors might cause. How dare the Indian people try to hold these people to account!
And all this after 60 years of the nuclear age and levels of government support and multi-billions in subsidies and bail-outs that the renewable energy and energy efficiency industries can only dream of. It borders on the pathetic.
After such waste and incompetence, and instead of lauding nuclear power, these 12 EU nations should be laughing the nuclear industry out of town. If would be hilarious if it wasn't for the damage these nuclear fantasies have caused and are causing.
Justin McKeating has been blogging the meltdown of the nuclear industry for Greenpeace International since 2008. He is based in Brighton, UK.

GE statement about India is a very important one: they are candidly saying that nuclear plants are not economically viable (at least not for manufacturers) unless someone else shoulders the risks of operating them.
Of course this is no news to anyone who is familiar with the terms of the debate on nuclear power but still it is a very important piece of evidence.

3:There are MANY nuclear accidents,according to Wikipedia
,But there are only 2 nuclear accidents in the whole story to cause considerable harm.
4:Most(if not,All) Nuclear accidents were because the people working interfered with the normal functionality of the reactor.
5:If strict security requirements are met,A nuclear reactor can work safely.

Jan Haverkamp - Greenpeace
@Nope - I understand it is difficult to fully grasp the consequences of small chances combined with large effects. I also find this difficult.
@Nope - I understand it is difficult to fully grasp the consequences of small chances combined with large effects. I also find this difficult.
1. Chernobyl was seen as one of the best designs available as late as 1985 by people from the IAEA. It was then seen as meeting all safety and security standards - those from the Soviet government and the IAEA. There are even 10 RBMK reactors still operating today in Kursk, Sosnovy Bor and Smolensk! The accident was - like all nuclear accidents - unique. The risk for such an accident is always there.
2. Fukushima was more than earthquake and tsunami. A whole spectrum of issues played a role and Japanese investigation committees, the Japanese government and even operator TEPCO agree that Fukushima was a man-made accident. A lot of factors played a role that also would cause an accident when triggered by other factors, be it natural, man-made or a combination.
3. There are more nuclear accidents that caused harm and a lot of damage. Think of Bohunice A1, Mayak, Windscale, Tokaimura, Greifswald 5 and TMI. But that is besides the point. The issue is that large accidents with impacts comparable to Chernobyl and Fukushima cannot be excluded. And it looks like the chance of this happening again is a lot larger than the nuclear industry would want us to believe.
4. Nuclear power stations need people - to design, construct, fuel, operate, maintain and dismantle. A nuclear power station without human interference does not exist. And even if you would make one, working for a world without people would not make sense. Next to the interactions mentioned above, there are human interaction in accidents, terrorist attack, sabotage, acts of war. The human factor is there and will never go away, and you are right: humans are fallible - as is technique.
5. You cannot reduce the risk to zero. As long as you concentrate a large amount of strong radioisotopes in one place, you introduce a risk that was not there before. You can try to reduce that risk, but never get rid of it. That is what we call rest-risk. I agree with the German Ethics Commission on a Safe Energy Future, which advised the German government on the nuclear phase-out after Fukushima. They stated that if you have an alternative that can deliver affordable, secure and climate saving electricity services, you have the moral obligation to phase-out the nuclear risk. And the only way to do that is by phasing out nuclear power.
You are, of course, in your right to disagree with Greenpeace. But don't do that lightly. We have based our pledge for nuclear phase-out on solid evidence. And we have seen with our own eyes the mess caused by Mayak, Windscale, Chernobyl and Fukushima - as well as during "normal" operation of the nuclear fuel chain, like recently in Akokan, Niger, in la Hague and Tricastin in France, and the impossibility of solving the high-level radioactive waste problem, even in countries like Finland, Sweden and France. These are all risks we do not need to take. Nuclear power is not driven by a societal or economic need - it is in my view driven by greed, by blind ambition, by power games. Not the ingredients for a clean and sustainable future...

Nope is on the money here.
1. Chernobyl happened because an individual, who was high in the communist party in the USSR, breached safety procedures and did something that only he was a good idea at the time. It is important to note that the USSR at the time was at the forefront of nuclear technology. He performed an experiment and warned that anyone who tried to stop it would be terminated and probably end up in jail. Such was the political culture at the time. He was prosecuted for criminal mismanagement.
2. If the backup generators were land side of the reactors then Fukushima Daiichi would have been fine. There may have been a small release of radiation but nothing major. Such as what happened at Fukushima Dani.
3. There have been many nuclear accidents but the vast majority will only affect 1 or 2 individuals. You will not be able to name an industry that hasn't had a large number of minor accidents. I have spoken to several nuclear experts in the last few weeks, talking about safety margins mainly. They were telling me that the failure for a single component has to be down to 1 in a billion and all systems must be backed up. The safety record speaks for itself. In terms of people being killed it is the safest form of high production energy. Wind probably has a better safety record but the electricity production is a fraction and some of the accidents that have happened there are gruesome. Only look them up if you have a strong stomach.
4. Completely agree and the punishments for doing so are getting considerably steeper. To the point that there is very little to gain from messing around with the reactor.
5. They already work safely. Some have bad designs and need fixed I admit, that is the same with any industry. There are currently 431 reactors in operation worldwide, the vast majority of which have operated without any notable incident.
Renewables have a role to play but it is not going to be the primary source of electricity. The only country to adopt the method of replacing nuclear with renewables was Germany and they are close to blackouts. So close in fact legislation had to be passed in November last year to try and prevent it. The end result was an adaptation of coal, the dirtiest form of energy. The problem has been solved in a manner as they have started importing large quantities of electricity from France, which ultimately comes from Nuclear.

Ay @AliShaw - facts, facts, facts...
1. The Chernobyl accident started quite a bit more complex than that. It was brought on-line early - before all tests were performed - to over-shoot the five-year plan ending 31 December 1985... it is not usual to do start-up related tests during full operation. The test was scheduled for the day, but the electricity was needed, so it was shifted to the unprepared night-shift. and so on... A lot of human failure involved, next to weaknesses in design.
2. Daini only survived hanging literary on a threat: one grid line surviving the earthquake... not really because of the rest of the plant was so well off...
3. We've had the discussion about victims before. I just cannot comprehend that for you the 160000 evacuees of Fukushima and the 600 casualties already certified don't count - all people that could not prepare for what happened to them.
4. Human failure can only in the margins be influenced by punishment. It is sometimes ill will - but that is only sometimes. Most near-misses we have seen have to do with clumsiness, lack of overview, being distracted, bad planning, over-ambitious planning... the infamous left vacuum cleaner in Ringhals...
5. I still have to meet a single reactor that had no incidents. It's machines. Machines have mess-ups. The large accidents we have gone through are the result of large numbers, very large numbers of smaller incidents...
Your Germany story is dead wrong. Germany has not been near to black-outs and certainly further away from it now than it was a decade ago (remember the Ems super cruiseliner black-out?), simply because there is more than sufficient capacity installed. The temporary surge in coal is not good - but it is a market-phenomenon that is not related to the nuclear phase-out, nor to the renewable phase-in. This extra coal generated electricity was actually exported - but even without that, Germany is currently the largest electricity exporter in Europe - forget about the trumpeted imports from France. Apart from April and May 2011 they did not happen. If you want to be prepared for the future, you'd better get used to the idea of 60-70% of electricity provided by renewables by 2030 and virtually 100% in 2050, certainly within Europe.
Ask RWE, E.On, Vattenfal and EnBW what it means for them that they did not want to realise that before...

I know Chernobyl was more complex than that but to into the complete detail of it would require a months worth of Sundays. In short it was nothing to do with electricity production it was purely one mans determination to see through an experiment. The technicians could have stopped it when the experiment started to go wrong but they didn't as they knew it meant their job and since this was the USSR probably prison.
Dani: The "1 line" that survived had multiple backups that remained functioning. Hardly what I would call by a thread.
I feel very sorry for the victims but that is the case with every accident or disaster, however there is also the strong possibility that they were killed by the tsunami.
Human failure can cause accidents but the margins are much greater than you make it seem. Thats why every single piece of equipment in any industry comes with safety systems, which themselves are backed up. Here is the thing, the temperatures and pressures operated within a nuclear power plant are not too dissimilar to those operated in normal chemical and power plants. If your concerns were based on reality we would be seeing massive disasters on a regular basis across a range of industries. Apart from the reactor, the equipment used in a nuclear powerplant is almost identical to the equipment used in normal power plants. The reactor itself has better safety margins than any of that equipment.
Of course you are yet to meet a reactor that hasn't had an incident. You will not meet a single piece of equipment anywhere in the world in any industry that hasn't had some incident. However the vast majority of the time it means nothing, and the rest of the time its something minor that can be fixed.
My story on Germany is not wrong, if you wish to ignore it then that is fair enough. The legislation was passed on the 29th of November 2012 if it is any interest to you.
Of course RWE npower are very keen on the building of new nuclear power stations and are working with E.ON on the Horizon nuclear project. Funny you should mention the targets as I have spoken one of the worlds biggest renewable energy developers and those targets are "completely unrealistic". So I dont know where you get your figures from but it clearly isnt from industry.
Don't get me wrong, I would love for you to be right but its not going to happen. Maybe it will happen one day but I dont think that it will be in my lifetime. The technology just isn't there.

Over the last two months I have been looking into the margins in EU reactors because of the stress tests. They are not really impressive and in some cases in my humble opinion too small. One of the Fukushima lessons was to think the unthinkable. That lesson is most certainly not learned for power stations like Muehleberg in Switzerland, Wylfa in the UK, Temelin in the Czech Republic or Ringhals in Sweden, to mention only a few.
Dive into the story of Fukushima Daini, i'd say... most of what happened in Daiichi when the tsunami hit also happened there. The most striking difference was the remaining power line that enabled the workers to continue working. Three of the four seawater pumping stations failed. The vision and instrumentation helped them master the situation - nothing else.
Interesting you think that RWE and E.On are still in Horizon. They stepped out a year ago and since have sold it to Hitachi.
Wondering with whom from the RE industry you've spoken. I have spoken with many from the industry who believe that we are underestimating the possibilities in our energy [r]evolution scenario... We preferred to remain relatively conservative.
Just watch it happen all around you. The technology is there and it is delivering today already.
Enjoy your Sundays.

The Year of the Snake!
As the Lunar New Year begins, billions of humans are celebrating the year of the snake. But, if you ask your friends and family members, chances are they might shiver and declare their disgust and sometimes hatred of snakes. It is important to remember that most snakes are not venomous. And that snakes do not seek out humans preferring to coexist from a distance just like you might prefer to keep your distance from them. Most snakes will bite only in self-defense so don't mess with them and they won't mess with you. Most humans in fact, do not interact or even see a living snake in their day to day lives so why the fear and loathing of snakes?
If you are afraid of snakes, don't be ashamed, you might not be able to help it due to your evolutionary history. Humans that learned quickly to respect and keep their distance from snakes were more likely to survive and pass on their genes. Anthropologists think survival skills to notice snakes in the wild may have led early primates to develop better vision and larger brains. Today however, most humans do not need to be on full alert and fearful of snakes to make it through their day. So as we start 2013, the Year of the Snake, let's find at least 3 reasons to love and celebrate snakes.
