Deployed as part of the new Centrino Duo and Pro platforms, Turbo Memory is implemented as either a 512MB or 1GB option alongside whatever SATA drive is installed. The caching scheme is actually intelligent enough to learn your usage habits, and it can take a few sessions to get the best from the system.
While Turbo Memory isn't going to provide big improvements throughput, it should excel at application loading. From our testing, the PCMark 05 'XP Startup' results - generated on the fourth consecutive run, hibernated between runs so that Vista could learn the process - gave us 9MB/s, trumping all but pure flash memory. An application loading score of 7.8MB/s just reinforces this speed increase.
Indeed a demo utilising Google Earth and Photoshop Elements completed in 56 seconds with Turbo Memory, while it took 126 seconds without. The combination of benefits makes Turbo Memory attractive. You'll get an increase in application responsiveness, increased battery life and reliability through improved ruggedness. Intel is on to a real winner here.

A man accused of helping to hijack a Pan Am flight out of John F. Kennedy Airport more than 40 years ago was captured and brought to New York Sunday for trial.
FBI agents brought Luis Aramndo Pena Soltren back through JFK -- the very airport where decades earlier he and three others boarded Pan Am flight 281 to Puerto Rico and hijacked it to Cuba.
It was November 24, 1968 when prosecutors said the men used guns and knives to raid the cockpit and commandeer the flight on the way to Puerto Rico. A woman had smuggled guns and knives onto the plane in a diaper bag.
Soltren evaded capture for more than 40 years.
"As the 1968 charges allege, he terrorized dozens of passengers when he and his cohorts wielded pistols and knives to hijack Pan American flight 281," said Preet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. "The passage of time does not dull our resolve to bring fugitives like Peña Soltren to justice."
An FBI spokesman declined comment.
Two others pleaded guilty to air piracy and conspiracy to kidnap charges. A fourth man was acquitted and charges against the woman were dropped.
Soltren is expected to be arraigned on the charges if federal court on Tuesday.
There were nearly a dozen hijackings and attempted hijackings of American airliners to Cuba in 1968. Terrorism and extortion among the motives at the time when Cuban-American relations were severely strained.

FS#240 - Object for efficient automatic periodic pavement
Opened by Simon (infoised) - Friday, 02 March 2012, 10:54 GMT
Last edited by William F Pokorny (wfpokorny) - Monday, 23 January 2017, 12:15 GMT
Whenever some object is to be periodically repeated in some kind of grid, you can achieve this with macros, but it
even if object references are implemented in the future, wrapper with its own transformation matrix still takes space and bookkeeping
b) is not infinite
annoying when making infinite planar tiling with arbitrary objects like an approximate water surface or tiling with real bricks or anything that needs to extend to horizon
c) is not optimized for periodicity
I think it can be very efficiently implemented as an object that takes a finite object argument (like CSG functions) and can be periodic in either 1D,2D or (possibly dangeorous?) 3D with specified period. In each dimension, the number of repetitions can be any integer or even infinity (or max_int). Something like
All the code needs to do is raytrace in the current unit cell and if the ray passes uninterrupted, pass it through the neighbouring unit cell (which means trace a translated ray through the same object). The object itself would just feel an additional clipping box, everything else would work seamlessly.
In case of infinite column of transparent object, max_trace stops the infinite loop anyway.
This is just a suggestion, I realize this is more of a long-term change but it is quite easy to implement and would simplify a large number of projects.
Complications arise if the tiling is "sparse", i.e. when the repeated objects don't completely fill the space. Imagine e.g. an infinite stack of donuts, with the camera inside: A ray going straight along the axis of the stack would never hit any of the objects, and therefore would result in an infinite number of intersection tests unless we find a smart solution to this.
Original poster seems to assume a space filling with a orthogonal grid (classical cubic packing, or with grid_separation, rather Cuboid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuboid).
It might be considered that the filling is going to be done in 3D, infinity in all directions.(you could bound/intersect with a smaller containers if you do not need such infinity).
Let's assume it's done with perfect unit-sided-cube.
As the ray does not turn, it should be simple to use modulo arithmetic to reduce the number of cubes to study... alas, that approach fails as soon as the ratio between the vector components are not rational. When they are in a rational ratio (remember, we got 3 of them:x,y&z; the ratio between the 3 couples must be rational to have repetition), it's fine. But as soon as one ratio is not in Q (ergo, any irrational ratio, in R instead of Q) it will never repeat. (sqrt(2), pi, ... all of them are not in Q.); In fact Q is discontinuous, whereas R is continuous... most of the time, you will be in R and not in Q.
So give up on finding a trick if you really want infinity of repeating object.
On the opposite way, we could give up on true infinity and just compress the repetition (in 3D) as a single object containing the repeated object and the parameter of the repetition, a bit like is done for area light. It will trade memory for cpu, as the generic bounding tree will be smashed by the grid-object, until the implementation is smarter than testing all possible objects (instead of shifting the object, shifting the ray source...)
About other space filling, the grid might be slanted (non-orthogonal cristal), done with a transform. The same transform can be used to manage the dimension of the cuboid (grid_separation) (applying its inverse to the object)
It might also be another pattern than a cuboid-grid: dense sphere filling has 2 fillings: ABA and ABCA patterns of hexagonaly-centered spheres.
Also, other patterns of crystallography might be considered... if one really want to cover the idea.
(Summary: give up infinity, and it might be possible)
@Grimbert nice analysis, I understand that infinity brings a lot of problems.
True infinity is not needed anyway because things become very small at the horizon. The user will use large numbers at his own risk, much like with everything else. Without the infinity, the number of intersection tests is no larger than with the manual tiling. In any case, such a solution would enable much larger systems than manual tiling, as the parse time and memory consumption are independent of the grid size.
The grid object can have its own large bounding box. The internal raytracing handled by this object may be even faster than in the case of manually inserted objects. We know there is no overlapping and that all the cells are of the same size. The selection of visited cells does not even require a tree search, just a direct calculation of indices (something similar to Bresenham's line algorithm, only it has to visit all the cells touched by the ray).
The most general case to consider is a parallelopiped (slanted brick), all periodic packings (even ABCA hexagonal and others) are covered by this if a larger unit cell is used.
- Field changed: Status (Unconfirmed → Tracked on GitHub)
Now tracked on github as issue #214.

The controversy around Nestle's Maggi noodles has caused panic throughout the nation and it doesn't look like it will die down any time soon.
After the initial test results by Uttar Pradesh Department of Food and Drug Administration (FDA) showed harmful levels of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and lead in Maggi, various states across India and even Bangladesh conducted tests on Maggi to find out whether the food product is safe or not.
The controversy around Maggi has led to tests being conducted across the country.
The entire controversy began when the UP FDA last month asked Nestle India to withdraw a batch of Maggi noodles "which were manufactured in February 2014" after it found high levels of added MSG, a taste enhancer, in the noodles and lead beyond permissible limits.

Other Questions
Other Questions
|Military Space A Travel FAQ
|5. Other Questions
|5.1) Can I get bumped from a flight I'm already on?
Yes, although it's relatively rare. Space required passengers or cargo may require the removal of Space A passengers at any point. But mission details are usually known before departure, so the crew won't release seats that they expect to become unavailable part of the way there. Some types of flights, notably Areomedical Evacuation (Medevac) missions do experience frequent changes, though, so you might want to ask about this before accepting a specific flight if you are the last person to get a seat because you would be the first to be removed. If you are removed en route, you may re-register with your original date and time of registration. Passenger terminals will assign a new date and time to any country you change or add on your application at this point, though, so having that fifth one be "all" is a really good idea. And, at the risk of beating a dead horse, you should always be prepared to purchase onward or return commercial transportation, meals and lodging.
5.2) What if I don't get on any flight before I need to be at my destination?
While you are not guaranteed a flight in the time frame you may wish, passenger terminals generally do their best to make available every possible seat. In case you must get to a final destination before they can get you there, you will need funds to complete your journey or return home.
5.3) How much baggage can I bring?
On the larger aircraft, each passenger may check two pieces of checked baggage, 70 pounds each, up to 62 linear inches in size. Family members may pool their baggage allowances, but Space A passengers may not pay for excess baggage. Hand-carried baggage must fit under the seat or in the overhead compartment, if one is available. Smaller aircraft may limit you to as little as 30 pounds of baggage, and hand-carried baggage may be included in this limit. Since many of the available flights are on these smaller aircraft (C-21 or C-12, for example) you should limit your baggage to 30 pounds if at all possible. You'll thank me for this advice when you discover that it's a 2 mile walk from the terminal to the billeting office :-) Of course, you should not place valuables, medicine, or important documents in checked baggage, and you should be sure your name and current address are on both the outside and inside of your bags. Passenger terminals usually have baggage ID tags available if you need them.
5.4) Do I have to be in uniform to travel?
Each service determines their own policy on this. Currently all services except the Marine Corps permit appropriate civilian attire to be worn by their active duty and reserve personnel when traveling on DoD-owned or controlled aircraft. This matter is up to each service, however, and the Marines still require their members to wear a uniform. When civilian clothing is worn, use common sense. Attire should be in good taste and not in conflict with accepted attire in the overseas county of departure, transit, or destination. Some services are quite specific about this. Tattered or revealing clothing or T-shirts with risque slogans are a particularly bad idea, and some passenger terminals will not allow you to board a plane wearing shorts. One Navy terminal, for example, requires that passengers wear a shirt with a collar (or the equivalent for women), long pants or a skirt, and shoes with closed toes. Be sure to pack some sensible clothes so that you can meet any reasonable requirements that might be imposed.
5.5) Where can I fly into when coming back from overseas?
While you may depart the United States from any airfield, reentry locations are sometimes limited. When traveling on a passport (family members, retired personnel, etc.) you may return to the United States only through authorized ports of entry where customs and immigration clearance is available. Active duty passengers who do not require immigration clearance have more reentry options open. The Air Force is working to increase the number of places at which reenter the country.
5.6) Can I bring my pet on a Space A flight?
5.7) What facilities are available at passenger terminals?
Facilities at most military terminals are similar to those that you would find at smaller commercial terminals. Examples include television sets, snack bars, exchange mini-marts, barber shops, travelers assistance, baggage lockers or rooms, United Services Organization (USO) lounges and nurseries. The facilities vary according to the terminal size and location, and it may be as simple as a couple of chairs near the pilots' flight planning room!
5.8) Can I sleep in the terminal?
Almost certainly not. Most passenger terminals close at night, and most of the rest have rules against sleeping in the terminal. So you should be prepared to defray lodging expenses at any overnight stops. The relatively low price of on-base billeting ($4 to $40 per night) makes this less of a burden than it might first appear, though. At Air Force Bases you can reserve rooms the day before (if you know where you will be), but at other bases billeting offices often won't release their available rooms to travelers who are not on orders until a specified "Space A show time." Some billeting offices will put you on a standby list by phone, though, so it's wise to call ahead to learn the rules at any bases you plan to visit.
5.9) What are the trends in the availability of Space A travel?
A couple of years ago the Air Force established an project to improve Space A travel in an effort to improve the quality of life for military families. But movement still depends on the number of unused seats. The dramatic reductions in the DoD budget in recent years have reduced both the number of eligible people and the number of flights. Actually, the reductions in the number of transport aircraft have been relatively small over this period, and an increasing number of within-theater flights overseas are being flown by CONUS-based crews. So some overseas destinations are actually easier to reach from CONUS than they were before the drawdown started. A number of domestic bases have been closed, but most major metropolitan areas still have at least one military airfield nearby. In some cases this consolidation has actually made Space A easier by reducing the need to travel from one base to another to catch a continuing flight. All in all, it's a mixed picture. The bottom line is that if you know what you're doing, you can usually get where you want to go.
5.10) What is the best time of the year to travel Space A ?
In general it is wise to avoid peak travel periods when traveling overseas if possible because the number of dependents traveling, often with a quite high priority (PCS or EML), is highest then. The peak travel periods are December-January and June-July, which roughly correspond to school holidays when there are a lot of travelers on leave. There are also more PCS travelers on the AMC passenger channel missions during the summer because people prefer to move when their children are between school years. Domestic routes see less fluctuation in volume, but it is usually more difficult to travel during three day weekends (weekends followed by Monday holidays, for example) and near holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas because there are fewer missions scheduled then but more people with some time off who might want to catch a flight.
5.11) Is it easier to go to some destinations?
Yes. Places where large numbers of U.S. military forces are stationed are much easier to get to than rarely visited areas. Travel to Europe or Japan is relatively easy, for example, while travel to South America or Africa is much more difficult. Infrequent flights to remote areas are often cargo missions, which may have few seats available for passenger movement. But with persistence it is amazing where you can get.
5.12) Do you have any other tips for Traveling Space A?
Of course! Plan your trip, be flexible and be patient. As a rule of thumb, military bases offer more Space A flights than commercial gateways or Reserve Component squadrons at civilian airfields, but the advance planning made possible by charter schedules and Reserve Component employment plans that are known months in advance may make those locations a good place to start a trip. Be as flexible as possible in choosing a destination. For example, if you want to get to Germany, consider a flight into the United Kingdom as an alternative. Once there, try for another flight bound for Germany.
5.13) What if I have a problem?
If something does not meet your expectations or if you have a question or suggestion that can't be resolved by the people you are dealing with, you should ask to speak with the passenger terminal supervisor (or their equivalent at smaller bases). At AMC terminals you can also use AMC Form 253, Air Passenger Comment, to bring your concerns to the attention of the terminal supervisor.

Hatched in November, this is the first time the endangered species has successfully reproduced at a zoo accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
The Chinese big-headed turtle can grow to be about seven inches in length. It has a skull of solid bone that is so large in proportion to its body that it cannot be withdrawn into its shell for protection.
WCS now has 15 Chinese big-headed turtles at the Bronx and Prospect Park Zoos –the largest collection of the species in any AZA-accredited zoo. The hatchlings and most adults are housed in off-exhibit areas of the zoos, but one adult female is on exhibit at the Animals in Our Lives building at the Prospect Park Zoo.
Chinese big-headed turtles are native to China, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. The species is classified as Endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Their population is declining due to trade demand across its Asian range countries.

BRENTWOOD — UNH Cooperative Extension, Rockingham County thanked Rebecca Cronin of Newmarket for her volunteer service as she retired from their Advisory Council after six years of service. Cronin was happy to share her history of involvement with UNH Cooperative Extension.
"My first experience with UNH Cooperative Extension was through the 4-H Youth Development program when I was 11 years old. Over the past 20 years, I have learned just how valuable the other programs of UNHCE are to New Hampshire communities. Two experiences that have made the biggest impact have been my work with the NH 4-H State Teen Council as an advisor and serving as a member of the Rockingham County Advisory Council. These two experiences have helped me grow not only as a leader, but as a citizen. The ability to motivate others is something special, especially when they are teenagers or volunteers giving time to their community.
"The most current position held on the Advisory Council was that of Chairperson, through a year of transition and reorganization with the Re-Extension program. It was a pleasure to work with dedicated volunteers and to see our efforts come to fruition. Though not easy work, we were able to create a solution that saves the county money, without losing the quality of service or offerings to the community. I truly believe that participating in the 4-H program as a youth was the preparation needed to take on this role.
"Often times, the 4-H program is not synonymous with UNHCE, and it should be. Without UNHCE, there is no 4-H program. Through experiential learning, the 4-H program provides youth the support and education to make a difference in their communities. The impact of the 4-H program grows exponentially as youth grow as leaders in their clubs, communities, and future careers or volunteer opportunities. Perhaps the most exciting part of this growth is that many take it beyond the 4-H organization, for instance I give time to the American Heart Association, Red Cross, and Habitat for Humanity.
"The 4-H pledge is the epitome of the spirit of volunteerism – I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, and my health to better living; for my club, my community, my country, and my world. While the 4-H program helped me solidify my passion for giving back to my community, family values instilled at a young age are my foundation. I have been blessed with a family that has and will continue to volunteer and lead the way for me to follow in their footsteps. I look forward to the next opportunity that presents itself to give back, perhaps starting sooner than anticipated!"
Made up of citizens who are elected volunteers, the Advisory Council advises and assists UNH Cooperative Extension in the utilization of local Extension programs. UNH Cooperative Extension provides New Hampshire citizens with research-based education and information, enhancing their ability to make informed decisions that strengthen youth, families and communities, sustain natural resources, and improve the economy.

More than half of women in the military experience unwanted sexual contact during their service, but it's not only women who are victims: Of the 26,000 reports of sexual assault and harassment made from 2011 to 2012, some 52 percent were men.
Reports of sexual assault in the military leapt by 50 percent last year, according to a much-anticipated Pentagon study that came out last week. The report was released on the heels of a Pentagon campaign to get victims to come forward, but the startling numbers have the attention of politicians and activists. The Service Women's Action Network and Vietnam Veterans of America also filed a joint suit against the Veterans Administration last week, claiming its regulations discriminate against veterans seeking benefits for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder linked to sexual assault. The suit claims that more than half of women in the military experience unwanted sexual contact during their service, but it's not only women who are victims: Of the 26,000 reports of sexual assault and harassment made from 2011 to 2012, some 52 percent came from men. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel declared sexual assault a "clear threat" to both male and female servicemembers. A serious threat New research shows that women in the military often experience trauma that's not battle related: Half of women that served in Iraq and Afghanistan reported being sexually harassed or assaulted by their peers, according to findings published last year in the Journal of General Internal Medicine. Amy Street, associate professor of psychiatry in the School of Medicine at Boston University, led the three-year study. "That's very high, and certainly too high. If I saw those from any sample in any setting I would say that's too high," says Street, a clinical psychologist and deputy director of the Women's Health Sciences Division of the National Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder at the Boston Veterans Administration hospital. Still, says Street, the numbers have to be put in context, and include a range of behaviors. "Unwanted sexual touching could be hair stroking, groping, or an attempted or completed rape," she says. Unfortunately, she notes, young women in their early 20's report similar numbers that are alarmingly high in other situations, too. One in five college women report having been sexually assaulted, for example, prompting questions about "rape culture" and a plea from the White House last week asking colleges to seriously address the problem of campus rape. Across organizations, Street says, those that are historically male-dominated and have a strong hierarchical culture are associated with more sexual harassment - from fire and police departments to Fortune 500 companies. The circumstances for sexual assault in a military setting might be especially problematic, says Street, especially in terms of the consequences of reporting attacks. "One of the things that's a real strength in the military is the esprit de corps and sacred purpose of the mission, but when [sexual trauma] happens, it can feel like quite a betrayal," Street says. "It can also make it difficult for victims to report and compromise their team, or make sense of it in the aftermath." Women report "internal barriers" to reporting, she says. They may ask themselves, "If I report this will it have a negative effect on the mission, or the group's cohesion?" "Women in the military take their jobs incredibly seriously and think carefully and cautiously," Street says. There is also a history of "retaliation" toward women who report sexual misconduct, says Sarah Blum, a nurse psychotherapist and Vietnam veteran, and author of "Women Under Fire: Abuse in the Military." Blum set out to collect experiences from women in the military, and was struck by the number of women who reported abuse, and changed the focus of her book. Some of the women interviewed in the book suffered grisly crimes like gang rape, she says, only to be interrogated, detained and, in some cases, threatened when they reported the crime. In a Defense Department report, 74 percent of females and 60 percent of males said they perceived barriers to reporting assault, and 62 percent of victims who did report said they experienced professional, social or administrative retaliation. "Some men have the attitude that they can do and say whatever they want and get away with it," Blum says. "The problem is, they do often get away with it. Commanders have allowed this to happen and done nothing to stop it." It's also not unusual that the perpetrator is the victim's commander, or is in a position of power over them. Twenty five percent of women and 27 percent of men who received unwanted sexual contact indicated the offender was someone in their chain of command, according to a Defense Department report. Rape is much more likely to occur between people who know each other, says Anthony Zenkus, who specializes in helping victims of sexual assault and domestic violence as director of education at The Safe Center LI, a nonprofit that provides services for victims of abuse. Zenkus says that rape is rarely "a stranger who grab someone and pulls them into the bushes," he says. "Women are in danger of violence or rape from somebody that they know, especially if that person is in a position of power over them, like a boss or clergy person, or other authority figure." Legal battles Over time, the VA has required less evidence from vets who claim disability benefits for PTSD from combat or exposure to danger, but not for those suffering from sexual trauma. Yet sexual violence "correlates with PTSD more highly than any other trauma, including combat," according to the suit filed against the VA. To qualify for benefits, veterans have to prove the disability is service-related. And in the case of sexual trauma, victims must provide "corroborating evidence." This can be hard to come by, according to Greg Rinckey, managing partner at Tully Rinckey law firm in New York and Washington, D.C., who is a former army prosecutor. If a soldier has combat experience and claims PTSD, that can be enough evidence in many cases, says Rinckey, but not with sexual assault. "With females or anyone stating sex trauma it has to be corroborated - and that can be hard to come up with," says Rinckey. Symptoms of PTSD can include depression, anxiety, trouble sleeping, trouble relating to loved ones, flashbacks, and other symptoms that can also lead to substance abuse issues, interrupt ability to work, and affect quality of life, according to the VA. Benefits are intended to go toward treatment for PTSD and its effects. Without treatment or medical records, the VA is likely to deny the claim, Rinckey says. "If someone claims to have an issue with their knee due to service, they would look at the treatment record to see if there was anything to support it. That's the same way they are treating sex trauma cases, which can be unfair because people don't come forward for fear of retaliation," he says. The VA denies a much higher percentage of military sexual trauma-related PTSD claims than for other mental health disorders. From 2009-2012, other claims were 16.5 to 29.6 percent more likely to be granted, according to suit against the VA. Loosening the regulations can be a "slippery slope," however, says Rinckey, because it could "open the floodgates" to potentially false claims that could cost the government millions or even billions over time. "This is not chump change," he says of the PTSD disability benefits that are at stake, which could be as much as $12,000 a year per soldier. He says that the requirements could be loosened responsibly, if things like testimony from a battle buddy or other friend at the time of the sexual trauma be counted as "corroborating evidence," whether they had been told of the attack, or just noticed a marked change in behavior. Men under attack Sexual assault in the military has been cast as a women's rights issue, but the latest data shows that men are affected as much as women - or more. In analyzing the Pentagon study's data, the Associated Press found that many more men were victims of assault in 2013 than women. "About 6.8 percent of women surveyed said they were assaulted and 1.2 percent of the men," according to the AP. "But there are vastly more men in the military; by the raw numbers, a bit more than 12,000 women said they were assaulted, compared with nearly 14,000 men." "I think most men are embarrassed, especially because of homosexual stigma in the military," says Rinckey. He notes that men were especially silenced because of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," policy, which banned homosexual behavior in the military. More men may be coming forward now, he says, since "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" has been lifted. Just two months ago, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand from New York came up short of senate votes to pass a bill that would have removed the chain of command from prosecuting sexual assaults and other major military crimes, which would have allowed them to be tried outside the military. Gillibrand's bill, which would have represented more radical change, was passed over for a bill by Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri, whose legislation gave the Pentagon more time to implement new sexual assault requirements, including making it a crime to retaliate against a victim and prohibiting commanders from overturning convictions. Zenkus says that he would be in favor of legislation like Gillibrand's because in "insular" institutions like the military, it is sometimes easier for those in authority to sympathize with perpetrators. "People who find out about [a sexual assault] say, 'Do we want to ruin this guy's career? What about his family? He made a mistake.' Then sometimes people start to rally around the offender." "It's strange," says Zenkus. "We don't seem to worry about the long-term effects on the career or life of someone who is accused of other crimes, like robbery or tax evasion. People need to stand up and say it's not OK."%3Cimg%20src%3D%22http%3A//beacon.deseretconnect.com/beacon.gif%3Fcid%3D167803%26pid%3D46%22%20/%3E

ALLIANCE, Ohio — Mount Union ended Wabash's playoff run
here Saturday with a tough 20-8 win. The Little Giant defensive
effort was again outstanding but the offense was not able to
sustain drives against DIII football's best defense.
The 12-1 Little Giants finished the season losing to the 10-time national champions but gained experience and respect from the Purple Raiders.
"I'm proud of our efforts but like last week we just dug ourselves too big of a hole in that first half and we just couldn't recover," Little Giant coach Erik Raeburn said.
The Wabash defense was dominating early with outstanding pressure on the Raider quarterback. The game's first score came after Wabash had backed Mount Union up to its own four-yard-line facing second-and-24.
But Jeremy Murray, who ran for 152 yards on the day, found a seam up the middle for 46 yards to swing the momentum. He later scored on that drive from 17 yards out, 7-0.
Tyler Burke, who led the remarkable comeback a week ago over North Central, started Saturday but struggled to find open receivers. He took a big hit late in the first half and was replaced by 11-game starter Chase Belton.
Early uncharacteristic Wabash mistakes, including a blocked punt and muffed kick reception, handed the hosts opportunities that the Wabash defense largely denied.
The Purple Raiders blocked a Wabash punt and took over on the Wabash 10-yard line. But the defense held in three plays. Tyler Almeida knocked through a 22-yard field goal, 10-0.
Wabash had another three and out before Mount Union took over. Again the defense forced the Raiders to punt but the kick was fumbled giving the Raiders another golden opportunity from the 12-yard line. After a 1 yard rush, freshman Houston Hodges stepped in front of the Mount Union receiver near the goal line and intercepted a Neal Seaman pass.
"I think their pressure caused us to miss some defenders and then they made the tackle," Mount Union Coach Larry Kehres said. "Particularly the middle linebacker (CJ Gum), I think he had three sacks in the first half and numerous tackles on plays that had a chance to be good plays.
"I think our effort was outstanding but that's an excellent defense. Coming into this game they were right behind us in rushing yardage allowed. They forced us to miss some things with good strategies."
Mount Union was playing with a short field most of the first half and capitalized just before half time. Kevin Burke hit Jasper Collins for 17 yards in the first half's final drive. Then Murray ran for 15 and 10 yard before scoring from the one, 17-0.
"They were probably one of the bigger offensive lines we faced all year," said Wabash defensive lineman Pat Clegg. "They had good feet too. We weren't as big but we've got some speed."
Wabash got some offense going in the second half but not until after a rough start. Belton took over but was intercepted on his first pass setting the hosts up on their own 20-yard line. The defense again rose to the challenge and held Mount Union to Almeida's 33-yard kick. With 13:18 remaining in the third quarter and leading 20-0, Mount would not score again.
Wabash started to move the ball and went 13 plays for 65 yards but couldn't convert a fourth down from the 13-yard line. The defense forced a Mount Union fumble on the next possession and put the offense right back in business at the Mount. 18.
Wabash moved the ball to the 5 where Belton appeared to score on a four yard run. Officials ruled his knee had gone down. The Little Giants then scrambled to get the play in on fourth down and Tyler Holmes was sacked for a loss.
Mount took over on downs but couldn't move the ball. From the goal line, Wabash appeared to sack Kevin Burke in the end zone but the officials marked the ball at the one. Following a short run, the Raiders took a safety instead of punting, 20-2.
Wabash got the ensuing kick and scored its only touchdown of the game. Belton hit Brady Young for 8 yards then for 26 more to set the offense up at the Mount 7 yard-line. A pass interference call then set Belton up for a 4-yard run and the touchdown. The Little Giants failed on the two-point conversion, 20-8.
Mount totaled 236 yards of total offense to Wabash's 163. A big difference came in the 136-31 rushing numbers. The Little Giants had 163 passing yards to Mount's 100.
Belton and Burke combined to hit just 18-of42 passes for those 163 yards. Six different Wabash receivers caught passes.
"They're fast but I don't know if there was any adjustment period, they're a very good team and we just played poorly in the first half," Raeburn said. "We have to improve our depth, late in the season we started getting guys hurt and we can't withstand it as well as a team like Mount Union. We have to improve in that area."

Donald Trump shamed a former beauty pageant winner Friday for her sexual history and encouraged presidential voters to check out what he called her "sex tape," in an early-morning tweet-storm that dragged him further away from his campaign's efforts to broaden his appeal to women and prompted a new round of attacks from his Democratic rival.
A day after he injected former President Bill Clinton's infidelities into the campaign, Trump accused Hillary Clinton's campaign of helping 1996 Miss Universe winner Alicia Machado get U.S. citizenship, but offered no proof. He said Machado had a "terrible" past that a "duped" Clinton had overlooked before holding her up "as an 'angel'" in the first presidential debate.
"Did Crooked Hillary help disgusting (check out sex tape and past) Alicia M become a U.S. citizen so she could use her in the debate?" read a missive from Trump posted on his verified Twitter account at 5:30 a.m.
"This is ... unhinged. Even for Trump," Clinton retorted in a tweet of her own. She elaborated on the comments at a campaign event Friday afternoon in Coral Springs, Florida.
After noting that Trump "choked" during his meeting with Mexico's president, Clinton said her opponent "finds it a lot easier to insult women than talk to the president of Mexico about building a wall."
"I mean really, who gets up at 3 o'clock in the morning to engage in a Twitter attack against a former Miss Universe," Clinton said at a rally in Florida Friday afternoon. "I mean he hurled as many insults as he could. Really, why does he do things like that?"
She said the actions proved "yet again that he is temperamentally unfit to be president and commander in chief."
"I have said it before and I have said it again," Clinton added. "A man who can be provoked by a tweet should not be anywhere near the nuclear codes."
Earlier, Machado took to her Facebook page to say Trump's tweets were part of a pattern of "demoralizing women."
"These attacks are cheap lies with bad intentions," Machado said. (See a translation of her full post here).
But Trump appeared undaunted, even as his broadside against Machado ricocheted across the campaign, and Democrats seized it as to criticize him all the more.
Trump ignored questions from reporters about the tweets as he campaigned in Michigan. But he wrote on Twitter Friday afternoon that his pre-dawn tweeting was a sign that "at least you know I will be there, awake, to answer the call."
His campaign described the hullabaloo as the consequence of collusion between biased news outlets and Clinton's campaign.
"This is the single biggest coordinated media attack in history," said Trump campaign spokeswoman Jessica Ditto.
Machado, the Venezuela-born actress, has been center stage in the campaign since Clinton noted in Monday's debate that Trump had mocked her publicly for gaining weight after she won Miss Universe, a pageant then owned by the businessman. Clilnton brought up that Machado said Trump called the woman "Miss Piggy" and "Miss Housekeeping." If that was a trap laid by Clinton, the irrepressible Trump dug himself deeper the next day by saying Machado's "massive" weight gain had been "a real problem."
His latest taunt appeared to refer to footage from a Spanish reality show in 2005 in which Machado was a contestant and appeared on camera in bed with a male contestant. The images are grainy and do not include nudity, though Machado later acknowledged in the Hispanic media that she was having sex in the video. NBC News has not verified its authenticity.
Clinton's campaign has released videos featuring Machado and has arranged for reporters to interview her in an effort to use Trump's comments against him just as early voting in critical states gets underway. Her spokesman said she called Machado Friday to thank her for her courage.
Clinton, in her response to Trump on Twitter, tied his broadside against Machado to his previous attacks on Rosie O'Donnell and Kim Kardashian about their looks.
"When something gets under Donald's thin skin, he lashes out and can't let go," Clinton said. "This is dangerous for a president."
Shaming Machado over intimate details from her past could be particularly risky as Trump tries to win over more female voters, many of whom are turned away by such personal attacks. It also risks calling further attention to the thrice-married Trump's own history with women.
Clinton's campaign has highlighted Machado's status as a new American and her plans to cast her first vote for Clinton. But Clinton spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri said Clinton did not help Machado get U.S. citizenship.
The flurry on Twitter began shortly after 3 a.m. on the East Coast when Trump complained about stories about his campaign based on anonymous sources and told his supporters not to believe them.
"There are no sources, they are just made up lies!" he wrote.
Trump has repeatedly gotten himself in trouble with his late-night and early-morning tweets, which appear to be written by the candidate himself. Trump has, at various points during his campaign, toned down the content, but rarely for long.
His Republican allies have implored him to stick to attacks on Clinton over her family foundation, her emails or her long history as a political insider, critiques that fall further out of view whenever he sparks a new controversy.
Even some of Trump's most vocal allies seemed at a loss for words at the candidate's latest actions.
"He's being Trump. I don't have any comment beyond that," said former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a top supporter. Generally chatty and occasionally critical of Trump, Gingrich said tersely that Trump sometimes does "strange things," but that Clinton lies. "I'll let you decide which is worse for America."
But Trump's inner circle followed his lead by refusing to concede any missteps. Trump didn't mention the tweets Friday evening as he rallied supporters in Michigan.
The vendetta against Machado adds fuel to a burgeoning debate in America about putting down women over the perception of promiscuity. Women's advocates have said the phenomenon, which takes place largely online, holds women to a different standard because men are often praised for having multiple partners.
A day earlier, as Trump tried to bounce back from his widely panned debate performance, he warned voters that a Clinton victory would bring her husband's sex scandal back to the White House. The fresh rehash of the 1990s Monica Lewisnky scandal came despite Trump's insistence that he's been courageously restrained by not bringing it up.

Focus areas: Mitigation; Adaptation
Location: Ahmedabad, India
Activity established: October 2009
Version en espanol
In Ahmedabad, a city with a population of more than 5.5 million, commuting options were limited. Commuters could either drive, take the municipal bus (which was over crowded) or auto rickshaws. An affordable public transport network that would enable people to reach their destinations in the shortest possible time, in the easiest possible manner, was required. The Ahmedabad bus rapid transport system (BRTS) is that system.
Going by the name 'Janmarg' or 'the people's ways', the BRTS began operation in October 2009, and has grown from 12 kilometres of route to 45 kilometres and growing. Passenger numbers have also grown, from 18,000 at the start to nearly 130,000 today.
Janmarg is designed as a strategic intervention, to attract latent transit demand, improve air quality and help the city remain compact. Its salient features are: a closed BRT system with median bus stations; specially designed buses with right hand side doors and bus floor and bus station platform heights matching; a complete revamp of the right of way to include cycle tracks and pedestrian facilities; a commercial speed of 25 kp/h enabling faster commuting; and off board fare collection. Janmarg has made several innovations in the planning and designing of the system including a fully 'pedestrian and transit' only street section at one location and a one-way bus lane to manage narrow right of way. At a larger level, Janmarg has demonstrated that BRT system can work in India. The activity has become the backbone of public transportation in the city. Janmarg looked at other BRTS in cities around the world and adapted their best practices in the context of Ahmedabad.

Ahmedabad is reaping benefits in the form of faster and safer commuting, mitigation in impact of air pollution and creating an overall positive impact on urban development.
The BRT system has already shown several mitigation impacts. For example, 20 to 22 per cent of the commuters have moved from using their motorcycles to the bus. With an average trip length on the bus of 7km, this translates into a saving of almost 200,000 vehicle kilometres per day (5,000,000 per month).
The monthly surveys also show that 65 per cent of the people who use Janmarg walk to and from the bus station. Typically, these trips are between 0.2km to 1.5km. This also translates into reduction of vehicle travel.
Janmarg now operates over a 45km network. This is expected to increase to 135km over the next two years. The system is expected to carry over 500,000 passengers by the end of 2012 and over 700,000 passengers by the end of 2014. This would translate into vehicle mileage savings of 750,000km by 2012 and 1,000,000km by 2014.
Social and environmental benefits
Janmarg has been a catalyst in the rejuvenation of Ahmedabad. The entire network has been planned in a manner that ensures that almost all destinations are covered. The appeal of the system has reached previously under-served social groups. For example, the afternoon hours, which are the off-peak, have seen a rise in female travelers; almost 40 per cent of commuters in the afternoon are women.
Similarly, the widening of the BRT system with new roads and bridges has helped better connect the city, ans spurring some development. For example, part of the corridor passes through vacant former mill lands that now are being developed. This includes new housing and shopping areas for the urban poor.
A big factor in the success of Janmarg has been the positive role played by citizens. The Ahmedabad Municipal Council (AMC) held regular press briefings; on the planning and designing process, public exhibitions and presentations, responding to all suggestions and recommendations.
Potential for scaling-up and replication
The success of the BRT system has also led to an overall improvement in the service quality of the Ahmedabad Municipal Transport Service (AMTS). All old diesel buses with obsolete technology have been replaced with compressed natural gas buses. AMTS has added more than 900 new buses over the last four years. The routes for these buses are now being operated as feeder services for Janmarg.
Janmarg is now part a larger level regional plan for Ahmedabad, where transit corridors have been identified and the system is expected to have a much wider coverage. It will also be integrated with the proposed rail-based transit system.
Since its inception, Janmarg has been a source of learning, and has been visited by representatives from various cities across India and some international cities, which are keen on implementing their own; BRT systems.

Last month, Jean Wilson wrote in looking for a sweet yellow hotdog relish she remembered from childhood that included cream as a rather unusual ingredient. We haven't found anything with cream, even after scouring the Internet and various cookbooks.
We do have a recipe from Margaret Robert of Ste. Agathe, who has been making a Million-Dollar Relish for 35 years that uses vegetables and seasonings similar to the ones Jean recalls. This is a garden-clearing preserve packed with cucumbers, cauliflower, peppers and onions. (Margaret has planted extra cukes this year, as her children tend to raid her pantry.) We also have a recipe for a quick Refrigerator Corn Relish that would be good with hotdogs.
If you can help with a recipe request, have your own request, or a favourite recipe you'd like to share, send an email to email@example.com, fax it to 697-7412, or write to Recipe Swap, c/o Alison Gillmor, Winnipeg Free Press, 1355 Mountain Ave. Winnipeg, MB, R2X 3B6. Please include your first and last name, address and telephone number.
8 large cucumbers, unpeeled
1 large cauliflower
4 large onions
2 sweet green peppers
2 sweet red peppers
125 ml (1/2 cup) pickling salt
175 ml (3/4 cup) all-purpose flour
15 ml (1 tbsp) turmeric
15 ml (1 tbsp) mustard seed
15 ml (1 tbsp) celery seed
900 ml (4 cups) white vinegar
250 ml (1 cup) water
1.8 l (8 cups) granulated sugar
Put vegetables through a food chopper or grinder. Place in large bowl, cover with pickling salt and let stand overnight. In the morning, drain well.
Make dressing: In a large heavy pot over medium heat, combine flour, spices, vinegar, water and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture begins to thicken. Add well-drained vegetables and cook 20 minutes longer. Fill sterilized canning jars and seal. (Novice canners should consult a cookbook or cooking website for full instructions on proper canning techniques.)
Tester's notes: A tasty relish. I don't have a hand-grinder so I used my food processor with the grating attachment, which probably chopped the vegetables just a little too finely. Next time I would probably chop them by hand. I also ended up with a high dressing-to-vegetables ratio (maybe because the cukes I used were on the small side). I just strained out the last of the vegetables and left some of the liquid in the pot to get a good consistency. I might cut back on the sugar a bit, as this recipe makes a very sweet relish.
500 ml (2 cups) corn kernels (cut from about 3-4 ears of corn)
125 ml (1/2 cup) diced sweet red pepper
125 ml (1/2 cup) diced white onion
80 ml (1/3 cup) apple cider vinegar
45 ml (3 tbsp) granulated sugar
3 ml (3/4 tsp) salt
2 ml (1/2 tsp) mustard seeds
1 ml (1/4 tsp) celery seeds
1 ml (1/4 tsp) hot red pepper flakes
1 ml (1/4 tsp) turmeric
15 ml (1 tbsp) cornstarch
15 ml (1 tbsp) water
In medium saucepan, combine corn, red pepper and onion. Stir in vinegar, sugar, salt, mustard seeds, celery seeds, hot red pepper flakes and turmeric. Over medium heat, bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 3 minutes. Combine cornstarch and water in a cup and stir until cornstarch is dissolved. Add to saucepan and cook until mixture is thickened, about 1 minute. Ladle into a 500 ml (2-cup) canning jar. Seal with lid and let stand 30 minutes. Refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour, before opening. Store in the fridge and use within 1 month.
Tester's notes: A crisp, fresh-tasting relish, and very easy.

Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
The Mind Hidden and Divided is the fourteenth program in the DISCOVERING PSYCHOLOGY series. Based on the pioneering research of Sigmund Freud, this program explores how the events and experiences that take place in the subconscious manifest themselves in our conscious lives. You'll learn about repression, the distinction between discovered and false memory syndrome, hypnosis, and split-brain cases.
Interview Excerpt: Jonathan Schooler on Discovered Memory and False Memory
Dr. Jonathan Schooler describes how the brain's susceptibility to false memories can make it difficult for people to distinguish actual from imagined experiences.
Discovered memory refers to situations in which people believe they have suddenly remembered a long-forgotten memory. These memories may be of any event, although abuse is a frequent example. Often trauma such as abuse is repressed. One of the difficult things about the controversy surrounding discovered memory versus false memory is the similarity between authentic memories and suggested ones.
In my own research, we have actually planted false memories of relatively mundane things, stop signs that people hadn't seen, for example, and then asked them to describe them. What was striking was that the descriptions of the planted memories were almost as detailed as the descriptions of the real memories.
Of course, not all false memories are planted. Sometimes individuals impose new meaning on an experience. They originally had an experience that made them uncomfortable, and now they associate their discomfort with something worse than what actually happened. Or, they now think about elements in the experience in a different way and the narrative changes.
We have found that people can hold false memories with virtually as much confidence as real memories. So it may well be that the way the brain represents false memories is, unfortunately, far too close to the way that it represents the real thing. What discovered memory really emphasizes is that people have a profound sense of discovery of something about their past that they genuinely believe they didn't know before.
It's crucial, therefore, to have a careful system for corroborating, or discerning between authentic discovered memories and false memories. In the case of abuse, the three key things to determine are whether or not the abuse actually occurred, whether or not the abuse had been completely forgotten, and whether or not the individual genuinely believes that the memory had been entirely forgotten and now suddenly remembered.

Warped Desire
New York: Beacon, 1952 Following World War II, inexpensive paperback novels began flooding American newsstands and drugstore racks. Many of these books were sensational, not written for literary audiences, but others were well written. Many dealt with lesbian and male homosexuality. The writers—male, female, straight, gay—often used pseudonyms, and their actual readership diverged from the intended audience. With provocative titles, sexually explicit covers, lurid descriptions, and frequently tragic endings, these pulp paperbacks might be viewed as stereotypic, negative, and exploitative. However, they are probably the largest body of overtly gay writings of the time, providing information and encouragement to thousands of isolated homosexuals across the country, at least until the late 1960s, when the gay liberation movement made overt what had formerly existed underground.
These books, printed on cheap paper and disposable, were instead saved and collected by many readers. Barbara Grier's collection became an early cornerstone of the Hormel Center's collection and has been supplemented with other fragile volumes given by a wide variety of donors. Many of the Hormel Center's pulp paperbacks have been featured in exhibitions at the library, including: Strange Sisters: The Art of Lesbian Pulp Fiction and Lost on Twilight Road: The Golden Age of Gay Male Pulps. The center has also hosted public programs featuring original pulp authors Victor J. Banis and Ann Bannon, historians Susan Stryker and Michael Bronski, and artists such as F. Allen Sawyer and his Hot Pants Homo Players, who re-imagine pulps in a new context. These fanciful and subversive artifacts offer a window into an important aspect of LGBT history.

Hannah Storm thankful for TV return after fire accident
Before working ESPN's Sunday morning SportsCenter, Hannah Storm spent 50 minutes in makeup. It wasn't exactly relaxing, given the makeup brushes "felt like a sand blaster."
No wonder. It was Storm's first ESPN appearance since a Dec. 10 propane grill accident that left her with first- and second-degree burns on her face, hands, chest and neck.
"It's funny because with the TV part, because I've been at it so long, it just took me the first highlight to get right back into it," Storm said after a revivifying three-hour nap Sunday afternoon. "But from a physical standpoint, it was challenging."
Cameras had to be moved closer so she could read scripts because her eyes are still recovering from the singing to her corneas in the accident. She can't quite use her hands well enough to type, so she just uses her thumbs on her PDA to write her lead-ins. She says some burned areas still "get hot," so the studio's air conditioning was turned up.
"It makes me kind of emotional to talk about it," Storm said.
Storm, who'll work Monday's 9 a.m. ET SportsCenter, then take the rest of the week off, says she was "nervous" about her return Sunday.
"I had a lot of anxiety. I wanted to see if I could do it and not go crazy," she said. "But it was rough. And an hour into the show, I was wiped."
But she's thrilled about the big picture: "I'm so crazy lucky."
And able to joke a little. Because her hair caught on fire, she went on-air Sunday with hair extensions, meaning that "I've officially joined the ranks of Hollywood."
Albeit very accidentally.
Rushing to fix dinner at her Connecticut home Dec. 10, Storm turned off her propane grill and then turned it back on. Propane, she has learned the hard way, "is heavier than air and it pooled around the grill" -- so turning the grill back on produced "a flash flame, a fire ball like you'd see in a movie."
She saw the flame, then instinctively closed her eyes -- which, doctors told her, probably saved them -- and "then my chest and head caught on fire. It was a big explosion."
She says her neighbor thought a tree had fallen on his house.
Storm never thought the injuries were life-threatening. But, "I did think they were career-threatening," in a job where appearance counts.
After the accident, Storm's 16 year-old daughter Hannah called 911. Storm was already thinking about career implications when the first responders arrived, and she asked them if her face would recover.
"They said, 'We think so.' But they didn't really know,' " Storm said.
Looking at her reflection the next day wasn't exactly encouraging.
"It was dramatic. My face was misshapen," she said. "You could see the path of the flames up my neck. I was very disfigured. ... But even though I looked really rough, I didn't panic."
She wasn't up for much talking or leaving the house. Her husband, NBC/Golf Channel announcer Dan Hicks, rearranged his schedule to be home more. But Storm set a goal of keeping her scheduled appearance hosting ABC's Jan. 1 Rose Bowl Parade mainly because her three daughters -- ages 11, 14 and 16 -- had looked forward to making the trip.
So what now? Storm will work SportsCenter shows Sunday and Monday and hopes to do long-scheduled segments from New Orleans in the week leading up to the Super Bowl.
And she's serious about this: Given Super Bowl Sunday is one of the heaviest grill days of the year, she wants everybody to remember to wait at least 15 minutes before restarting propane grills.
"So many people just don't understand how dangerous igniting a grill can be," she said.
How her recovery will be is less clear-cut. "I don't know what to expect. It's unlike anything I've experienced. You feel funny. The outside is starting to heal, and now I'm almost feeling like I'm starting to heal from the inside out."
She knows she'll need patience. "It's very traumatic and the trauma lingers. The exhaustion lingers, and it's pervasive."
But again, let's remember the bottom line. "I can't tell you," Storm said, "how fortunate I am to be able to still do TV."

NEW ORLEANS (AP) Drew Brees wore gray sneakers to his first full day of Super Bowl-related appearances - a wise move for an ambassador of a city who had to walk briskly from end to end of a sprawling convention center to make all of his scheduled stops.
Not only was the Saints' star quarterback a man on the move, but also ready to move on from the bitterness of the bounty scandal, which may have undermined his team's chances of playing for a title on its home field.
``We're professionals and we've moved past that in the sense that there's nothing that can be done other than, `Let's move on and let's find a way to be better next year in spite of it,''' Brees said. ``It would be easy to sit here and be angry, but it is what it is.''
Coming off a 13-3 campaign in 2011 and a narrow loss to San Francisco in that season's playoffs, the Saints went into the offseason figuring they would be contenders again this season.
Then came the NFL's probe of the Saints' cash-for-hits program and numerous sanctions, the most severe of which was the full-season suspension of coach Sean Payton. New Orleans went 7-9 and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2008, and now the team practicing at the Saints' suburban training center is the NFC champion 49ers.
Throughout the community, displeasure with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's handling of the matter has been on display for months, from T-shirts reading ``Free Payton'' (he is now reinstated) to signs in bars and eateries showing Goodell's photo and reading: ``Do not serve this man.''
During the season, Brees offered his own criticism of what he thought was a faulty investigation and overly heavy-handed disciplinary process. But when the topic came up Wednesday, Brees said it was time to ``put this thing to bed.''
``We've said what needed to be said,'' Brees said. ``Sean's back, all the pieces are in place, and now it's time for us to put ourselves in a position to make a run.''
Brees has been one of New Orleans' most prominent public faces and leading promoters since he arrived in the Big Easy in 2006, when much of the area was still in a state of devastation from Hurricane Katrina's August 2005 landfall. Now his team is the official host of the Super Bowl, and Brees is once again stepping up to highlight his adopted hometown's resurgence as it hosts the Super Bowl for the first time since 2002 - also the first time since Katrina.
He also sought to stamp out the notion that there is some kind of undercurrent of tension between his club, its fans and all of the high-ranking NFL executives in town for the league's biggest single event.
``I know the city is going to be a great host regardless,'' Brees said. ``The city wants to put their best foot forward, they want everybody to have a great experience. I don't like the fact that we've got the NFC team practicing in our facility, but we're going to be gracious hosts and hope that it pays us back in the future.''
Brees' stops Wednesday included a talk with area high school kids about the importance of managing one's money. He even revealed that he graduated Purdue with an unpaid $2,000 mobile phone bill, and later regretted it when it damaged his credit score and pushed up the interest rate he had to pay on the first house he bought in San Diego, shortly after being drafted by the Chargers in 2001.
Later, he hosted a news conference in which his foundation donated $1 million to businesses teaming up with charities in the metro area. He also made several radio appearances and lent his support to an event hosted by former Saints special teams standout Steve Gleason, who has the debilitating and incurable neuro-muscular disease ALS.
As an organization, the Saints' approach has mirrored that of their quarterback. Owner Tom Benson spoke at an NFL event promoting the importance of children doing more physical activity on Wednesday. He has invited Goodell to the team party in New Orleans' City Park on Thursday night, and he will attend Goodell's main media event Friday and has even invited the commissioner to watch the game from his suite in the Superdome.
``We're making this the best Super Bowl ever and what that means is we're going to get another Super Bowl to come back in a few years,'' said Benson with a nod to the city's intent to bid on the 2018 Super Bowl. ``We've rolled out the red carpet for everybody.''
Frank Supovitz, the NFL's vice president for events, called the Saints ``outstanding hosts.''
``We've been working on the Super Bowl together with the Saints the last three years. ... The level of partnership has never wavered for a moment,'' he said. ``The NFL and Super Bowl have had a long and deep relationship with the city and with the team and one of the pleasures of my career has been working with the team on the reopening of the dome (after Katrina). We've been very, very close partners with the city and the team and I don't expect that to change.''
Dennis Lauscha, who serves as the president of both the Saints and NBA's Hornets - which Benson bought last spring - scoffed at the idea that any animosity lingered between the Saints and the league.
``What we're absolutely concerned about is making sure we put on the best possible show and make a great bid on the next one. We want to put our best foot forward,'' Lauscha said. ``No question we wanted to be the first team to host and play on our own field in the same year. We had an unbelievable experience down in Miami when we won the Super Bowl and we kept on saying how great it would be if we could do that back in New Orleans for our fans, so there is a bit of disappointment in that, but look, we're looking forward to next year and winning the Super Bowl in New York.''

Good tools, but I would like to see Eco here, as well as Beautyblender sponges. Also think a lip brush is essential for a perfect pout.

I love eyes lips face and their brushes but the dollar brushes seem to fall apart on me... not the bristles but the handle part. It is still useable but drives me a bit crazy.
