Justin Bieber Gets Skrillex Hair
They're baaaaaaack!
Justin Bieber's bangs were world famous and once a part of his signature image, look and style. The 'As Long as You Love Me' singer has debuted a new haircut, mixing a classic and familiar style with something somewhat new, at least for him.
The swoopy Bieber bangs are back – he had abandoned them on the 'Believe' cycle in favor of a slicked back pompadour -- and the side is shaved, a la Skrillex and RIhanna.
So it's a half-shaved swoop, where most of his locks are swept to the side.
A picture of The Biebs with a fan has found its way onto Twitter and we are waiting for chatter to ignite among Beliebers as to whether or not they like the new coif.
We expect all the haters to resurrect the "lesbian hair" comments that followed The Biebs when he first arrived on the scene with his noteworthy, full head of hair.
PopCrushers and Beliebers, what do you think of Justin Bieber's latest hairstyle? Are you feeling it? Did you prefer the pomp or are you welcoming back the fringer?

ive created two vectors parallely ,one for strings and one for floats.Every string corresponds to a float.Thii is done inside a FOR loop. After the loop i calculate the min of floats and i need to get the corresponding string ,but unfortunately i dont get the correct string.
Is my approach wrong,or should i continue experimenting towards this solution?
(I m trying to do this using a hashmap too)

All hail new Hero abilities!
✔ Both Heroes have acquired special abilities that can be activated once per battle, after they have been deployed.
✔ Iron Fist: The Barbarian King and nearby Barbarians become enraged for a short time, moving faster and dealing more damage (does not stack with the Rage Spell).
✔ Royal Cloak: The Archer Queen hides from and becomes invisible to all enemy defenses for a short time.
✔ Both Hero abilities will instantly call in a group of Barbarians or Archers to reinforce their King or Queen.
✔ Hero abilities unlock for free at Hero level 5 and improve in strength every additional 5 Hero levels!
Flyers, freezers and brand new boosts
✔ Level 6 Minions are here to wreak havoc on enemy bases!
✔ Level 5 Freeze Spell leaves defenses on ice for longer than ever before.
✔ Get your Heroes back into battle faster by boosting their recovery 4x while sleeping.
✔ Boost cost and duration of Barracks and Spell Factory now reduced from 4 hours/20 gems to 2 hours/10 gems.
Why? Many of you told us that the 4 hour Barracks/Spell Factory Boost was too long and you felt obliged to keep raiding for the entire duration or risk losing out. We didn't like you having to make this choice, so, voilà!
Clan Co-leaders take charge
✔ Clan Co-leaders can now be appointed by the Clan Leader or other Clan Co-leaders.
✔ Clan Co-leaders have all the privileges of Clan Leaders, except for the ability to demote or kick other Co-leaders.
✔ Clan Elders are now less powerful to prevent abuse, no longer able to promote or demote and only able to kick normal members.
Why? We wanted to give you more options for running your Clans. We also wanted to prevent Clans from falling into disrepair when the Leader goes AWOL. Ultimately, though, we want Clans to be run your way - so we aren't limiting how many Co-leaders there can be, it is entirely up to you. With great power comes great responsibility.
Gem overgrowth
✔ New plant growth is being found with more gems inside than ever before!
Why? Because we care
✔ Mysterious boxes packed with gems are being reported all throughout the realm. Keep an eye out for them!
Note: Unfortunately there was a problem with the Gem Box and we had to disable it for now. We're working on it and will keep you posted. But don't worry, trees and bushes will still give you more Gems than before!
Interface improvements
✔ Chat is now available even when away from your village, such as when visiting and watching replays
✔ Army Camps, the Spell Factory and Clan Castle now display used capacity next to their name when they are selected.
✔ Friends List has been moved to the Leaderboard menu, on the last tab, replacing the Search Clans tab (Search Clans is still available from the Clan Castle menu).
✔ Rage Spell info now correctly indicates damage percentage increase (e.g. 30% instead of 130%).
Why? We're sticklers for accuracy and this has been incorrect for too long! PLEASE NOTE, this change does not make the Rage Spell any more or less powerful, it is purely a wording alteration.
✔ Obstacles can now be cleared in edit mode. (Yay!)
Balance tweaks
✔ Decreased the upgrade cost and time of Freeze Spell levels 3 and 4.
Why? With the addition of Freeze Spell level 5, we wanted to rebalance levels 3 and 4 to smooth out the upgrade curve.
✔ Decreased Rage Spell level 5 damage bonus from 80% to 70%.
Why? We want all max level Spells to be viable options and currently the level 5 Rage Spell is used in almost every single battle by high trophy players - therefore is wasn't optional. By tweaking it to make it less of a mandatory choice, we're hoping to see more diversity in the Spells you bring to battle!
✔ Increased Hog Rider training cost by about 30% on all levels.
Why? It has been too easy to repeatedly build a full Hog Rider army and devastate TH9 and TH10 villages that don't yet have Inferno Towers. We didn't want to make them any less powerful, but rather make it a more considered army choice.
✔ Increased Valkyrie hitpoints by about 20% on all levels.
Why? The Valkyrie hasn't been seeing much action on the battlefield - she needed beefing up!!
✔ Increased Pekka hitpoints from 3400 to 3500 on level 3 and from 3800 to 4000 on level 4.
Why? Considering how much it costs to upgrade the P.E.K.K.A to level 3 and 4, we felt like a few more hitpoints were required to help balance and justify the upgrade.
Many more bug fixes, tweaks and performance improvements

Start a PowerPoint 2007 Animation with a Trigger
A PowerPoint trigger let's you play an animation on a slide whenever you want to play it. To play a trigger animation, you just click the element on the PowerPoint slide that has been triggered. You can also arrange to click a trigger element and play an animation on another part of your slide.
Triggers offer these advantages over conventional animations:
You can bypass the Custom Animation list and play an animation whenever you want. Simply click an element to animate it.
You can choose not to play an animation on a slide. If during your presentation you decide not to play an animation, don't click its trigger.
You can change course in the middle of a presentation and use an animation to enlighten your audience about some aspect of the slide. For example, suppose your slide shows a table and someone in the audience asks about data on the table. Using a trigger, you can click the table and bring a chart on-screen that helps explain information in the.
You can connect elements on a slide to one another and make the connection a part of your presentation. For example, your slide shows a photograph with a caption. Using a trigger, you click the photograph to enlarge the caption and make it easier to read by using the Change Font Size emphasis effect.
As you know, you click a slide to start an animation or advance to the next slide in the presentation. If you employ triggers on your slide, you must be careful where you click, because clicking an element accidentally may trigger an animation, and clicking in the wrong place may advance your presentation to the next slide.

Reviews of Canada's best selection of of washable and disposable incontinence - or bladder leak - protection products for men, women, teens & kids, special needs children and babies & toddlers.
Across Canada, My Liberty provides home delivery of absorbent underwear, briefs (or adult diapers), swimwear, pads (underwear liners or guards), bed and chair pads and skincare.
At MyLiberty.Life, we are committed to helping you get what you need quickly and easily.
It seems no two manufacturers use the same language to describe their products. What's "moderate protection" to some is "heavy protection" to others.
To help you sort it out, we've developed a standardized Total Capacity Rating system that we use across all brands and incontinence products we sell.
At a glance, the rating shows a product's ability to absorb and hold bladder and bowel leakage.
Typical Bladder Void Volume for Adults vs Kids
Let's talk specifics. Did you know that adults pass an average of 1 cup (8 ounces or 237 ml) of urine at a time?
Kids are different - there's a calculation based on their age. Look for the "Urine Output Calculation" section to learn more.
For adults, 1 cup is what's considered a 'full' pee (or, 'void' if you prefer).
When shopping for incontinence products, there are three ways of looking at a person's absorbency needs:
- How quickly does the product absorb?
- How much does it hold: drips, leaks, a full void, or multiple voids?
- How dry does it stay?
This is where it becomes critical for you to decide what you're looking for, based on your needs. Are you looking for protection against:
- Occasional drips over several hours? Or
- Small, unexpected leaks (like after a sneeze)? Or
- Slightly larger leaks - like after you lift something, or jump or skip - that leave you feeling wet?
- Or, unpredictable, full (and possibly repeat) voids where you need to change your clothes?
Understanding the protection you need - which can also change over time - is the key to picking the right product. Perhaps you need LIGHT protection during the day but MAXIMUM protection overnight. We've explained what each rating level means below:
Watch for the rating on every product listing on our site to make sure the products you choose are right for you.
1. SLIGHT or minimal bladder leakage
These are usually small pant or panty liners or guards that have a capacity to absorb and hold up to 8 ounces (1 cup or 237ml) of bladder leakage, equivalent to an average urine discharge but over several hours.

Finally, a breakthrough discovery in the quest for the secret of youth, longevity and good health!
Thanks to its high glycoside content, specifically cistanoside, echinacoside and acteoside, Cistanche Tubulosa is the most powerful plant on a very broad spectrum of health restorative plants, with the power to regenerate your cells and combat the effects of aging. In the space of just a few days, you will feel the difference. Younger, more energetic, more vital – you will feel the years roll back. Better than DHEA, better than Melatonin, better than SOD… Cistanche Tubulosa has no side effects and no contraindications!
CISTANOL®, health in its purest form
The Shennong Ben Cao Jing, the medical encyclopedia, written around 2,000 years ago in China, recommends the use of a 'plant of the Gods' native to "death's desert" to treat a great number of illnesses and conditions. For centuries, the identity of this 'life-giving' plant remained an unsolved mystery until just a few years ago, when it was finally identified as Cistanche Tubulosa - a very rare plant that grows solely in the inhospitable desert of Takla-Makan.
It possesses amazing properties that act to combat the ageing of the:
• Brain • Skin • Sex organs • Kidneys • Liver • Intestines • Heart
and plays an essential role in:

text: Located at the edge of Hipsterville you'll find a barn-like eatery that's become a favourite for a number of Melbourne social clubs including The Beard & Flannel Co., Fixie's Unlimited and the infamous Super Nintendo Atari Alliance. All that jazz aside, in late 2010 the once Irish themed pub changed hands and became known as Gasometer – an ode to the former gas works operation that once resided across the road. More recently though they've started to establish themselves as a popular live music venue; this coupled with affordable brews and American Diner inspired dishes has this Northside pub packed to the brim on most nights. Their menu caters to both the carnivores and Planeteer's (vegos) with dishes like Smoked Buffalo Tofu Strips to BBQ Pulled Pork Nachos. It was impossible for us not to order the Smoked Cheese & Bacon Burger that came on a traditional sesame seed bun with a 200g wagyu beef pattie, house smoked cheddar accompanied with lettuce, tomato, topped with crispy bacon and 1000 Island sauce. Oh and in true American fashion, served with a pickle spear and a choice of potato salad or crunchy fries on the side.

Road to Mac OS X Leopard: Dashboard, Spotlight and the DesktopIt's not just major applications that are getting updates in Mac OS X Leopard. Apple has updated and expanded the Desktop, Spotlight, and Dashboard, adding new features, graphical flourishes, and new performance enhancements that add functionality and polish to every app running on the system. Here's a look at what's new in the overall desktop environment of Leopard.
This report goes to great lengths to explore the origins, history, and maturity of the desktop. For those readers with limited time or who are only interested in what's due in Leopard, you can skip to page 4 of this report.
Graphical Desktop Origins
The first graphical desktop arrived in 1963, when Ivan Sutherland developed Sketchpad (below) for his Ph.D. thesis at MIT. The system demonstrated the potential for computer graphics for use in both artistic and technical purposes, and paved the way forward for the development of more human interfaces for computers.
Douglas Engelbart was inspired by Sketchpad in his work at the Stanford Research Institute's Augmentation Research Center. With funding from the ARPA, NASA, and the U.S. Air Force, Engelbart developed ideas related to computing collaboration in a project called the oNLine System.
In 1968, Engelbart demonstrated his work at the Fall Joint Computer Conference in San Francisco to an audience of around a thousand pioneering computer users, giving them an early look at such inventions as a rasterized, graphical computing interface controlled by a mouse.
The demonstration projected video of high resolution CRT monitors generating text and graphics--including the "bug" dot of a mouse pointer--originating on computer systems forty miles away in Menlo Park. Engelbart could directly manipulate onscreen data using a combination of his mouse, keyboard, and a chording keyset (above), to click hyperlinks and enter gestures to move around text on the screen. Simultaneous users could even control the system at once.
Elgelbart's demonstration pushed the development of computer systems as tools to augment human intellect, rather than just machines used to perform calculations. He used "augmentation" to refer to the idea that computer assistance would accelerate the capacity for advancement. Elgelbart later illustrated the opposite, "de-augmentation," by taping a brick to a pencil. The result was slower writing with larger characters that consumed more paper.
Developments at Xerox PARC
When funding for his lab at SRI began to dry up, many of his researchers went to Xerox's PARC, the Palo Alto Research Center, which continued to advance developments in graphical computing in the 70s with the Xerox Alto. The 1981 Star (below), pioneered the use of windowed work areas and icons representing manipulatable objects.
The Star wasn't a standalone system but rather intended to be part of a networked "office of the future." With a typical installation costing $50,000 - $100,000, Xerox had a hard time selling the Star systems. Attempts to sell a simplified system called Viewpoint in the mid 80s were similarly unsuccessful. Xerox later tried to sell its graphical operating environment for the PC under the name GlobalView.
Apple's Lisa and Macintosh.
Research related to a variety of computing technologies originating at Xerox spread to a number of other companies as developers left PARC. Xerox had also been liberal in demonstrating its technology to outside companies, although as it began to solidify plans to release the Star commercially, it stopped giving inside tours. In 1979, Xerox invested $1 million in Apple as part of a deal that demonstrated some of the work in progress on the Star to Apple's Steve Jobs and Bill Atkinson. When Apple went public a couple years later, Xerox' investment suddenly became worth over $17 million, far more than it made on the Star itself.
Without a clear understanding of how the Star actually worked, Atkinson began work on implementing features he though were part of the Xerox desktop, including the concept of overlapping windows. It turned out that the Star wasn't even designed do many of the things Atkinson assumed it could, as noted in the article SCO, Linux, and Microsoft in the History of OS: 1980s. Those assumptions pushed Apple developers to deliver aggressive products, and the company poured money into expensive research to pioneer the modern graphical desktop.
In addition to the Apple employees who were excited about what they saw at Xerox, many employees of Xerox got excited about Apple's interest in actually delivering the technology as a product. By the launch of the Lisa (below) in 1983, fifteen Xerox employees had started work at Apple.
The parallel development of the Macintosh gave Apple a system to sell at a much lower cost than the Lisa, which was priced close to $10,000 because of its expensive allocation of RAM. However, the hardware budget for the $2500 Mac meant it lacked enough memory to run concurrent applications. The Lisa's multitasking system was also intended to differentiate it from the Mac and position it as a more powerful system targeted at the higher end of the market.
Accessorizing the Desktop
Despite being limited to having only one main application loaded at once, Bud Tribble suggested the idea of allowing the user to running mini-applications at the same time in a limited environment to perform simple tasks, such as an onscreen calculator, notepad, or a control panel for setting system preferences.
Apple called the idea "ornaments" and later "desk accessories," as Andy Hertzfeld described in his Folklore article Desk Ornaments. Desk accessories outside those included with the original Mac desktop (below) had to be installed by copying them into the system file using a special utility. Later versions made installing new desk accessories easier.

Daehli delight for Ole
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hailed the impact of his fellow Norwegian Mats Daehli as Cardiff continue their fight for Barclays Premier League survival.
Daehli proved the Welsh club's most creative player in a 1-1 draw against Stoke that ensured Cardiff retained a fighting chance of avoiding relegation.
"He is proving time and time again that he is worth a place in the team," Solskjaer said of the 19-year-old, who joined Cardiff during the January transfer window this season.
"He gets you on the edge of your seat, he does things, the difficult things at times, and he is fantastic at just playing simple when that is required.
"He's a good footballer, and I think he has done fantastic since he has come here."
For all Daehli's excellence, though, Cardiff were once again left indebted to goalkeeper David Marshall as their saviour.
Scotland international Marshall, viewed by many pundits as one of the best keepers in English football's top flight this season, came to Cardiff's rescue with a brilliant late point-blank save to deny Stoke substitute Oussama Assaidi a probable winner.
"The first 75-80 minutes I thought we deserved more than a draw," Solskjaer added.
"Towards the end, though, you might say we didn't deserve anything. We have a top, top goalkeeper and he saved a point for us. We thank him again.
"He has just signed a (new) contract, and we are going to make sure he doesn't have the option of going down. We have three games to rescue the season."
Cardiff have three games left in the quest to avoid a quickfire Championship return - away to Sunderland and Newcastle, then at home against Chelsea.
"Two wins would be enough, but you never know in this league," Solskjaer said. "You never know what the outcome is going to be in any of the games.
"It is not a miracle needed, but it is two very good performances needed in the next two games to give us a chance in the last game against Chelsea."
Craig Bellamy, meanwhile, could be back in contention for the Sunderland encounter next weekend. He will return to training on Monday after being sidelined because of a virus.
Peter Whittingham's 50th-minute spot-kick cancelled out a Marko Arnautovic strike for Stoke - the first penalty Cardiff have conceded this season - that was converted during the dying seconds of an opening 45 minutes Cardiff shaded with regards to possession and territory.
Solskjaer disputed the decision by referee Howard Webb, who punished Kim for his challenge on Stoke's former Cardiff player Peter Odemwingie. Cardiff also saw a later Juan Cala effort ruled out for offside.
"I felt what I felt at the time, that it was not a penalty, but I accept that Howard has got to make a decision there and then," Solskjaer added.
"For us, it galvanised everyone in the dressing room. We felt hard done by.
"I didn't have to say a lot at half-time, apart from maybe trying to control the emotions, because that is important when you get decisions like that against you. You can't make him change his mind.
"The way we came out second-half and put them under pressure, got the goal, got a disallowed goal, got the crowd going - they were fantastic again - and it was just what we wanted."
While Cardiff continue scrapping for points, Stoke can reflect on just one defeat in their last eight games, a run that has helped secure mid-table comfort.
"The neutrals in the ground would think they were a couple of soft penalties," Stoke boss Mark Hughes said.
"I am not going to surprise you by saying I thought ours was a valid penalty and rightly given.
"My view on Cardiff's penalty is that it was very soft and the lad has looked for a movement from Steve N'zonzi that would allow him to go down.
"In the second half we were in the ascendancy and Assaidi, if he had converted that chance it would have won the game for us. But we will take the point."

We performed our testing in Corsair Obsidian 800D case with three reference fans running at 900RPM (room temperature about 22°C). Our weapons of choice were EVGA's X58 FTW3 motherboard and Core i7 930 CPU. The temperatures were measured at reference 2.9GHz as well as after our overclock (we pushed the CPU to 3.6GHz).
For the first test with Archon we used one 14cm fan. We're talking about Thermalright's TR-TY 140 fan (900~1300RPM) which ended up being enough for Archon's excellent performance. The case's rear panel houses a 14cm fan that pushes the air out, so we've got ourselves a neat push-pull setup here.
The 14cm, 900 RPM fan on the case's rear panel does great to improve cooling and ultimately, adding another fan on the cooler's tower heatsink made little difference.
We used Prime95 to put a 100% load on all Core i7 930's cores, so bear in mind that we're talking about a scenario that will most probably never happen. We measured temperatures on all four cores using AIDA64 (the successor to Everest), and put average values in the tables. We used Gelid's GC Extreme paste.

"The influence and oversight of the Local Government Commission is a major reason why North Carolina local government issuers have been able to weather this recession to this point," said Andrew Teras, an associate director of Standard & Poor's rating agency. "North Carolina's oversight model is one of the strongest of any state."

About the Local Government Commission
In 1931 the North Carolina General Assembly established the Local Government Commission to help address the problems in local government finance caused by the depression. In 1933, 62 North Carolina counties, 152 cities and towns, and some 200 special districts were in default on the principal or the interest or both of outstanding obligations.
Currently, the State of North Carolina has a larger percentage units rated "AAA" by national bond rating agencies when compared to other states, and the debt of its local governments in general finds a significantly better reception on the national bond markets than the national average. Many attribute this favored credit status, in part, to the work of the Local Government Commission. The Local Government Commission or LGC, established by G.S. 159-3, provides assistance to local governments and public authorities in North Carolina. It is staffed by the Department of State Treasurer and approves the issuance of debt for all units of local government and assists those units with fiscal management. The primary mission of the LGC is focused in three areas of responsibility and authority. First, a unit of government must seek LGC approval before it can borrow money. In reviewing each proposed borrowing, the LGC examines whether the amount being borrowed is adequate and reasonable for the projects and is an amount the unit can reasonably afford to repay. Second, once a borrowing is approved, the LGC is responsible for selling the debt (or bonds) on the unit's behalf.
While state agencies in some other states are charged with approving local government debt; it is the combination of the power of approval with the power of sale that makes the LGC unique in the nation.
Third, the LGC staff regulates annual financial reporting by oversight of the annual independent auditing of local governments, by monitoring the fiscal health of local governments and by offering broad assistance in financial administration to local governments.The Commission is composed of nine members: the State Treasurer, the Secretary of State, the State Auditor, the Secretary of Revenue, and five others by appointment (three by the Governor, one by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the President Pro Tempore and one by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Speaker of the House). The State Treasurer serves as Chair and selects the Secretary of the Commission, who heads the administrative staff serving the Commission. The full LGC meets every other month, with a four member executive committee meeting in the months when the full LGC does not meet. Special meetings also may occasionally be called to consider a proposed financing in a timely manner.

Drew Pearce Explains the Marvel Creative Process, Plus the Hidden Easter Eggs in His 'Iron Man 3' Short 'All Hail the King'
Two weeks ago we brought you part of our interview with rising screenwriter and director Drew Pearce, focusing mainly on his next film: Mission: Impossible 5. But now with Thor: The Dark World a day away from Blu-ray and DVD (February 25, to be precise), fans everywhere are going to discover All Hail the King, the newest Marvel One Shot written and directed by Pearce.
All Hail the King continues the controversial story of the Mandarin from Iron Man 3, and is sure to be a bit of a hot topic amongst fans of Marvel. We won't spoil why (you'll have to check out the short for yourself to see), but it brings back Sir Ben Kingsley for further exploration of his character and the mystery that surrounds him.
When we chatted with Pearce on the phone, he gave us quite a few insights into what it's like writing for Marvel, so if you're a fan of everything it's doing, you'll get a peek into how the whole system works.
Movies.com: Are you part of the Marvel brain trust now?
Drew Pearce: I wish Marvel needed me as part of their brain trust. They've already got way too many people who are way cleverer than me who form the core of Marvel themselves. I am occasionally invited into the inner sanctum, though I'm not allowed to touch anything in there. And when you're specifically work on a project, you have an awareness of what's going on in the rest of the universe. Plus, you get to know a lot of the other filmmakers. I know the Russos, so I saw a lot of early stuff on Cap 2, which, by the way, without wishing to contributing to the avalanche of prehype, is absolutely as good as everyone says. It's just a fantastic movie. But ultimately, no, I have no swing or say or power, I just have a very quiet, occasional opinion.
Movies.com: Have the Marvel filmmakers formed their own unofficial Masters of Superheroes group that get together for dinner and drinks and talk about everything?
Pearce: Again, I also wish there was a brilliant fight club based entirely on my superhero-filmmaking contemporaries, but as far as I know, if it exists, I have not been invited. What is true, though, is there a bunch of simpatico filmmakers, some of whom you met along the way in passing outside edit bays, or bars, and often you'll have something in common with them or you'll be going through the same s**t they are, and you'll end up talking. I'm lucky that there's a group of people I've met in my time working on films here, which has only been a few years, some of whom I'd count as mentors and friends who I'd go to for advice; Shane Black being the prime example of that, among the greatest screenwriters of his generation.
And Jon Favreau as well, who I think is brilliant and has a strong sense of story and tone and is someone whose counsel I occasionally seek. And then a bunch of people who ostensibly do what I do, from Drew Goddard to [Christopher] Marcus and [Stephen] McFeely. It's not like we all go to a big house together, watching cartoons the whole time, but we do occasionally chat and help each other out. What's nice is, and maybe this is naïveté on my part, but there's no backstabbing or sense of horrendous competition. Everyone just feels lucky to be working and as helpful to one another when they can be.
It's definitely not some kind of smug thing, us sitting around smoking pipes and planning the next plot twists that will screw with fandom. It's far more like me crying because I can't think of something to do in the second act and bumping into someone in a coffee shop who says, "Oh, sorry, I get that too." That's pretty much it. That's the support network.
Movies.com: Who specifically created Trevor Slattery?
Pearce: It was Shane and I together. We did two months, in his house, as we got to know each other. Just working through what we wanted to do with the movie, what we thought would be entertaining and thematically interesting and a new thing to do with Tony Stark, and the Mandarin came quite organically out of that. We always had this idea we wanted Tony's journey to be about the fact Tony was losing his sense of self because his public persona was now more Iron Man than Tony Stark. And that kind of led to the Mandarin that we put in the movie, the demon we put out there and who is behind it.
Movies.com: How much were your choices for the Mandarin, and some of the things further elaborated on in All Hail the King, an effort from the people at Marvel to change up the game in terms of fan expectation, and how much is driven by you and Shane saying, "Let's just pitch and see what they say"?
Pearce: It's 100% the latter. Everything I've ever been involved with at Marvel has been driven by creative decisions. And certainly with our Mandarin twist, that was something Shane and I cooked up and pitched to Marvel and couldn't really believe they backed. All testament to them and their commitment to what we were trying to do with the movie. And they backed us all the way through publicity in order to deliver what was a real surprise to a lot of people.
And the thing with this short, my biggest worry was not that I would appease fans, but that maybe it would affect how many people would want to see it because there was a level of animosity toward Trevor. But I love Trevor and I love Sir Ben, and it was too good a story not to tell, so I said f**k it, let's tell this story.
Movies.com: Will we see some aftermath of this short at some point, either in the cinematic universe or Netflix or any of the other crazy things Marvel is cooking up?
Pearce: Honestly, it's a question above my pay grade. One of the things when you're a writer or director in the Marvel universe is you come in, you leave some tasty morsels dangling at the end, and maybe you're the one who comes in and picks them up again next time, or maybe it's someone else, or maybe they just hang there awhile and that's fine too. Despite any cliffhanger-ness to the short, I also don't feel like it's unsatisfying. That's all you can really hope to do. Unless you're Joss [Whedon] and you're making Avengers 2 and 3, and then you have a pretty good idea if you're making the next one or not.
Movies.com: All Hail the King takes place in Seagate Prison. Are there any references in the short that we're missing out on?
Pearce: You can't really see them in it, but there's a shot in the walk in at the short, and no one has really picked this up yet because I have a feeling they're invisible to the human eye, but we did this originally on set. There's a tracking shot that pans down a bunch of the cells and you see the prisoners shouting. Above each of the prisoner's cells there's the name of a different henchman from the Marvel universe, and I haven't actually told anyone that yet, so that's an exclusive, however I think it may be a pointless exclusive because I'm not even sure you can read them.

Redmond excited about influx of young players
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The next generation of standout young talent is already making an impact.
The Marlins were the victim of a couple of them on Opening Day, when Washington's Bryce Harper belted two solo homers and Stephen Strasburg threw seven shutout innings.
But the Marlins have their own rising star in Giancarlo Stanton.
Manager Mike Redmond, who retired as a player in 2010, sees a passing of the torch.
"That's the new crop of great young players, the great young talented players," Redmond said. "You've kind of had a changeover over the last few years. Some of the older guys, who had been around for a long time, they're retiring, like Chipper Jones.
"The new guys are coming in, and they're exciting. It's good for the game of baseball to see the young guys to come up and have success. Hopefully, they don't have too much success against us."

Sencha Cmd
Date: March 14, 2013
Version Number: 22.214.171.124
Windows - Mac OS X - Linux/64 - Linux/32
Date: February 27, 2013
Version Number: 18.104.22.168
Windows - Mac OS X - Linux/64 - Linux/32
Date: February 13, 2013
Version Number: 22.214.171.124
Ext JS: This version of Sencha Cmd 3.1 is not compatible with Ext JS 4.1.x but this will be corrected in the next release. For this release, only Ext JS 22.214.171.1248 is supported.
Sencha Touch: This version of Sencha Cmd 3.1 is compatible with Sencha Touch 2.1+ however the new optimizer and package features (discussed below) are not yet supported for Sencha Touch applications.
The biggest new feature of Sencha Cmd 3.1 is that of packages. These are in many ways similar to applications from a build perspective. Like applications, packages contain:
Packages come in three basic flavors: theme, code and locale. All package types can contain any of the above assets. They primarily differ in how applications use them. For theme and locale packages, only one of each can be active during a given build. An application may require multiple theme and locale packages, but only one will be activated for a build based on build properties. The defaults are stored in your .sencha/app/sencha.cfg file and these can be specified on the command line to override the default.
Packages live at the top of the application/workspace in a "./packages" folder. That is, package "foo" is stored in "./packages/foo". In this release, only Ext JS 4.2 applications or other packages can use packages. In order to use a package, an application "requires" it in its app.json file:
{ "name": "foo", "type": "code", "version": "1.0.0", "compatVersion": "1.0.0", "requires": [{ "name": "bar", "version": "1.1.0" }] }
Packages can require other packages in their "package.json" file in the same way. Guides describing all of the particulars of packages will be available soon.

Version Number: 18.104.22.168
The highlights are improved UTF-8/multi-charset handling and correcting the overwriting issues with "sencha app upgrade". To use the new charset directive in your JS files, place this as the first line:
//@charset ISO-8859-1
Instead of "ISO-8859-1", the value to the right of
charset can be
any valid Java
name. The default is "UTF-8".
charset directive is used to describe the encoding of an input
file to the compiler. This does not effect the encoding of the output file. The
content of the input file is converted to Unicode internally.
Also, auto-dependency detection has been improved so there should be fewer cases where you need "requires" or "uses" for the compiler and not the dev environment (due to synchronous loading).
Release Date: October 5, 2012
Version Number: 18.104.22.168
Release Date: September 26, 2012
Version Number: 18.104.22.168
In this release we have introduced a new, top-level build script to provide a consistent and customizable build process for Ext JS and Sencha Touch applications The "sencha app build" is one way to perform an application build. This now calls in to an Ant script to perform the actual build. This means the build can now be customized as needed.
The Ant equivalent of "sencha app build [production|testing|native|package]" is:
sencha ant [production|testing|native|package] buildIf you have Ant in your PATH, you can use it directly:
ant [production|testing|native|package] build
This runs the generated Ant build script to build your application. The reason the arguments are swapped vs "sencha app build" is to accommodate how Ant processes the command line.
That's all that is necessary to use the Ant script. You don't have to do anything extra to get Ant (it is provided by Sencha Cmd) and you don't have to know anything about Ant. That is, unless you want to customize the build script.
For details on tuning your application's Ant build script, start by reading the comments contained in "build.xml" (the Ant build script). Also you can consult the Ant Manual for details on using Ant.
Alternatively, you can chose to wrap your own build process around the "sencha app build" command.

Isn't the YLOD a power supply failure, or just a generic failure display? I forgot as I only knew 1 person to ever get it.
What you need to do is run a backup as quickly as possible if you get that running again. Then, at least, you won't lose your save data if it permanently dies.
I need lube.
Got my car back after the accident I must say I am very, very impressed with the work the body shop did, doesn't hurt that they are the only Volvo approved shop anywhere near me I guess! $7185 later my car looks, and drives as good as new!
Drunk driver hit us, everything is covered.

After snowfall, skies clear for pregame ceremonies
PITTSBURGH - Andrew McCutchen was promised the awards months ago. But he didn't actually get them until Monday, when the Pirates' star received his 2012 Gold Glove and Silver Slugger Awards as part of Opening Day ceremonies at PNC Park.
Proving once again that heavenly skies operate on Baseball Time, sunshine flooded the field when the Cubs and the Pirates were introduced.
Only two hours earlier, snow flurries were blocking the view of the wonderful Pittsburgh skyline and of the Roberto Clemente Bridge.
But the skies cleared, on the perennial celestial cue, and the pregame pageantry set a suitable festive table for the main course the National League Central foes soon served up.
The memorable occasion was dedicated to others' memory as, sadly, moments of silence were observed for victims of the December Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy and to members of the Pirates' alumni who passed away since the last Opening Day.
In honor of the Newtown, Conn., victims, managers Clint Hurdle of the Pirates and Dale Sveum of the Cubs, players of both teams, umpires and all on-field personnel wore a symbolic ribbon patch on their sleeves.
After the presentation of colors by a joint guard of all four branches of the military, both "America The Beautiful" and the national anthem were masterfully rendered on violin by Noah Bendix-Balgley, concertmaster of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.
Standing by the violinist's side was United States Marine Corporal Brandon Rumbaugh, the first of Pittsburgh club chairman Bob Nutting's guests in what will be a season-long practice of hosting members of the Wounded Warriors. A native of Uniontown, Pa., Rumbaugh is a double-amputee after losing both legs during his second tour of duty in Afghanistan.
As part of the celebration, the Bucs had everyone in house to take a bow during the pregame introductions. That included a quartet of disabled players who even had assigned lockers, but will be heading back to Florida to resume rehabilitations: pitchers Charlie Morton, Jeff Karstens and Francisco Liriano and infielder Brandon Inge.
Also in uniform and sitting in front of his locker was Jose Contreras, who, alas, was not eligible to line up along the third-base foul line with everyone else: As neither on the 40-man roster nor the disabled list -- Contreras was invited here from the Minor League camp -- rules prevented the Cuban right-hander from actively participating in pregame ceremonies.
Jim Rohr, the retiring chairman and CEO of PNC Bank, delivered the ceremonial first pitch. A little later, A.J. Burnett delivered the authentic first pitch, and season No. 127 of the Bucs was under way.

William Kentridge: Five Themes, a comprehensive survey of the contemporary South African artist's work, features more than 75 works in a range of media—including animated films, drawings, prints, theater models, sculptures, and books. The exhibition is co-organized by SFMOMA and the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Florida, and curated by Mark Rosenthal, adjunct curator of contemporary art at the Norton Museum of Art, in close collaboration with the artist.
Painter and native Texan Rosson Crow's upcoming FOCUS exhibition features her large-scale, vivid depictions of nostalgia-laden interiors that blend aspects of history with theatricality. Interior spaces are the foundation upon which Crow constructs her hotly colored, dripping tableaus. Often including Modernist architectural triumphs, and/or places with mythic backstories, Crow's subjects range from Los Angeles's Koenig House to Fort Worth's White Elephant Saloon.
As a young painter in the mid-1980s, Texas-based artist Jeff Elrod focused on creating ironic works that addressed American postwar abstraction. "I was conflicted," the artist explains, "I was trying to find a clever way to approach painting because I felt like it wasn't acceptable to earnestly make abstract work, even though I was earnest about it. I was searching for a relevant form of present-day American abstraction—for a while I collaborated with another artist, and then I made paintings that were components of larger installations.
Ranjani Shettar creates large-scale, abstract sculpture by combining manmade and natural materials such as wood, beeswax, cloth, thread, rubber, PVC pipe, wire, steel, and beads. Her works, which appear to be as impulsive and random as they are patterned and logical, are frequently arranged as sculptural installations that interact with and articulate the space around them.
The Swiss/American artist duo Teresa Hubbard (born 1965 in Dublin, Ireland) and Alexander Birchler (born 1962 in Baden, Switzerland) live and work in Austin, Texas. In a career of more than fifteen years, they have become known for their picturesque, color-saturated photographic series and their deliberately slow-paced video installations, which feature slow pan shots, endless loops, and puzzling plot lines. Starting with their early staged photographs, No Room to Answer presents key works from 1991 to 2008.
My Complement, My Enemy, My Oppressor, My Love, the first full-scale American museum survey of the work of artist Kara Walker, features works ranging from her signature black cut-paper silhouettes to film animations to more than 100 works on paper.
Kehinde Wiley creates larger-than-life-size portraits that mix historical Western European painting styles such as French Romanticism, Rococo, and Baroque with images from contemporary urban streets. The resulting monumental works are painted in Wiley's characteristic, flamboyant style and presented in ornate gold frames. While the artist evokes important and highly recognizable paintings from the past, he replaces those works' elite white sitters with African-American men.
Engaging the masculine, machine aesthetic of Minimalism and the equally macho, but gritty, iconography of heavy metal music, Banks Violette creates an unlikely pact between high and low forms of visual communication to explore the ways fiction can turn into belief, or fantasy can be rendered real. Violette's work is often characterized as an exploration of present-day themes of disaster, driven by stories of teen angst or devotion to—even obsession with—a particular band.
Martin Puryear is a retrospective that features approximately forty-seven sculptures, following the development of Puryear's thirty-year career from his first solo museum show in 1977 to the present day.
FOCUS: Joshua Mosley features the artist's high-definition animation short and sculpture installation titled A Vue, 2004. "A vue" is a French rock-climbing term meaning a clean ascent with no knowledge of the route. Like much of his work, A Vue addresses Mosley's interest in the complex nature of balancing the personal with societal responsibility.

In 2014 Polisport also felt the need to extend into the Brazilian market, building a facility there.
To reconcile the key strengths from both partners, by searching for the best result at lower risk, a joint venture was established with a local manufacturer.
The new line of business in Brazil covers the same areas of business, namely: bicycles accessories, off-road accessories, all those products with Polisport brand, plus client brands and original equipment.

Hefner solid, Murphy homers, but Mets come up short
NEW YORK -- To shock the league this summer, as they have so often talked of doing, the Mets will need to combine strong starting pitching with reliable relief pitching, timely offense and solid defense. Through four games this season, they have consistently demonstrated only one of those skills.
Jeremy Hefner gave the Mets yet another impressive starting pitching effort Friday, but his team struggled with most other aspects of the game in a 7-5 loss to the Marlins at Citi Field.
"I was just hoping to keep them close, and eventually we did come back," Hefner said. "We just ran out of outs."
Everything unraveled after Ruben Tejada committed a fielding error to open the seventh inning of a one-run game, his third defensive miscue of the young season. Reliever Greg Burke walked the next batter to set up an obvious sacrifice attempt from Juan Pierre.
But when Pierre obliged with a bunt to the mound, Burke whirled toward third base, where his throw was not nearly quick enough to nail the lead runner. That allowed Placido Polanco to bat with the bases loaded, punching a game-breaking two-run single into right field.
"I got to it a little slower than we were thinking," Burke said of the bunt. "In that situation, I probably just need to get the out -- take my time, throw it to first and get the out."
If that play did not immediately haunt Burke, it was about to, because the inning was far from over. After Burke whiffed Giancarlo Stanton for the inning's first out, left-hander Scott Rice gave up a sacrifice fly to Greg Dobbs and back-to-back RBI doubles to Justin Ruggiano and Rob Brantly, spotting the Marlins a six-run lead.
The official losing pitcher was Hefner, though he hardly deserved that fate. Subbing for the injured Johan Santana, Hefner held the Marlins to one run -- a Dobbs solo homer -- in six innings. He struck out three and walked two, giving the Mets a fair bit of encouragement. With Santana less than a week removed from season-ending shoulder surgery, Hefner should remain in the rotation for as long as he proves capable.
Right now, that is as good a place as any to be. Mets starting pitchers have allowed four runs over the first four games, combining for a 1.38 ERA.
"We're a competitive group, and we compete against each other," Hefner said. "I think that's showing."
But the offense has become an issue, doing nothing against Marlins starter Alex Sanabia. Though Sanabia put runners on base in each of his six innings, including the leadoff man three times, he pitched around six hits, three walks and a hit batsman, striking out one.
"Sanabia threw great," Ruggiano said. "He pounded the zone, and then the bats finally came out a little bit tonight. Cool weather aside, it was nice to get that first win, and we look forward to the next one."
After pounding out 19 runs in their first 13 innings this season, the Mets scored once over their next 18 innings. It was not until Daniel Murphy cracked a three-run homer off Chad Qualls in the seventh that the Mets finally snapped their offensive drought.
Murphy came to the plate again an inning later, with the tying runs on base in a three-run game. But this time he could not convert, working the count full before grounding harmlessly to second base. After the Marlins added an insurance run in the top of the ninth, the Mets scored twice more in the bottom of the inning on RBI hits from Kirk Nieuwenhuis and Lucas Duda.
But, as Hefner said, they "ran out of outs," and it did not help that they gave the Marlins extra ones. For a team that cannot afford to make many mistakes this season, the Mets have suffered through quite a few in their past two games -- erring on defense, leaving men on base (a dozen in Friday's game), seeming just a tick off in their execution.
Through four games, their starting pitching has been exceptional. The Mets simply need the rest of their roster to catch up to that pace.

Vora consolidated these pioneering efforts into a Polytechnic by starting a variety of Diploma and Certificate courses in the above major disciples, with the additional staff, laboratories and buildings. The Polytechnic status with steady development continued until 1949 when the Kalabhavan was converted into the Faculty of Technology and Engineering (with the establishment of The Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, following generous donation by the Gaekwads for the University and the New Building of the Institute). From this stage onwards, the Institute developed rapidly recognizing no bounds.
Under USAID program, faculty received a massive grant of Rs. 4 crore from Water Resources Department and Narmada Department of Government of Gujarat for development of undergraduate and postgraduate program of Irrigation Water Management in March 1991. Constant efforts are made to update curriculum, improve teaching, enhance infrastructure and laboratory facilities, promote research and establish linkages with the Society and Industries and above all, emphasis on excellence.

90,000 signatures, 10,000 phone calls: Reebok drops rapper Rick Ross over rape lyrics
'We showed companies all over the world that rewarding rape is not just wrong, it's a bad marketing strategy'
So happy to report some good news.
U.S based women's protest movement UltraViolet led a massive protest against rapper Rick Ross and his endorsement deal with Reebok, prompted by his lyrics in the Rocco song 'U.O.E.N.O'., about drugging a woman and having sex with her without her knowledge.
Ross's segment on the song featured spiking a woman's drink with the drug MDMA, also known as Ecstasy or molly:
Put molly all in her Champagne
She ain't even know it
I took her home and I enjoyed that
She ain't even know it.
Only 13-months-old, UltraViolet harnessed a groundswell of protests that forced Reebok to end its relationship with the rapper. Much of the action took place through social media, resulting in a mammoth 90,000 signature petitions, 10,000 phone calls and 2000 tweets.
Protest outside the Reebok store in Manhattan (NYT)
Here's an email I just received about the campaign's success.
Dear Melinda,
YOU just dealt a big blow to rape culture.
Thanks to 100,000 UltraViolet members and our allies who spoke out, Reebok just ended their endorsement deal with Rick Ross, the rapper who brags about raping a woman on his recent single. The 90,000 petition signatures, 10,000 phone calls, 2,000 tweets, the letter signed by 500 rape survivors, and the nearly 100 people who rallied at Reebok's New York City flagship store sent a clear message: we won't stand for a company that rewards rape.
And Reebok listened. In fact they issued a strong statement, saying "We are very disappointed [Ross] has yet to display an understanding of the seriousness of this issue or an appropriate level of remorse."1
When a company does the right thing, it's important that we thank them–so we're going to send them a thank you card, signed by thousands of UltraViolet members. We'll also send the card to the press to help Reebok get good publicity for taking a stand against rape. Can you sign the card?
Sign the thank you card to Reebok.
This isn't just a blow to Rick Ross–it's going to have an impact on how companies like Reebok choose their spokespeople in the future. We showed companies all over the US–and all over the world–that rewarding rape is not just wrong, it's a bad marketing strategy.
After Todd Akin, Rick Ross, Steubenville, and far too many similar stories, it's clear we have a lot of work to do together to end rape culture. But right now, we need to take a moment to thank Reebok, and show companies everywhere that if they stand up for women, it will pay off. Can you sign the thank you card?
Thanks for speaking out,
Nita, Shaunna, Kat, Malinda, and Karin, the UltraViolet team
Ross part of another video eroticising violence against women
Remember Rick Ross's part in a behind-the-scenes clip for the Kanye West Monster video which showed him eating a plate of meat between the spread legs of a dead woman? Collective Shout, Adios Barbie and others joined together in a global campaign against the Monster video which was described as a rape scenario set to a soundtrack – and won. MTV refused to screen it.

There is no gameplay in this Prototype 2 trailer, which went out late Friday. But there is some rather badass live action, explaining the backstory of protagonist James Heller. He is burning alive with the Blacklight virus—and his desire for revenge upon Alex Mercer.
Prototype 2 arrives April 24. If you're wondering about the vocals, yes that's Johnny Cash. He is singing "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails.

Fellow senior Rence Coassin (sociology) received a third straight selection, while classmates Alex Killorn (government) and Daniel Moriarty (economics) were honored for the second consecutive year. In addition to their success in the classroom, five recognized seniors have already begun playing professional hockey or signed a pro contract.
Junior David Valek (economics) also earned his third All-Academic selection. Five other Crimson skaters were repeat honorees: juniors Alex Fallstrom (economics) and Conor Morrison (sociology) and sophomores John Caldwell (economics), Danny Fick (economics) and Dan Ford (government).
Six others also made the All-Academic list: juniors Danny Biega (sociology), Marshall Everson (government) and Luke Greiner (sociology) and freshmen Colin Blackwell, Ryan McGregor and Mike Seward.
Players are eligible for the All-Academic team if they earn a cumulative grade-point average of at least a 3.00 on a 4.00 scale or have a GPA over 3.00 over the last three semesters.

WALTHAM, Mass. – For the second time this week, the Brandeis University baseball team rallied late to force extra innings, but for the second time, the visitors were able to bounce right back in the 10th inning, as the Judges fell to Framingham State University, 5-3, on Stein Diamond today.
The Rams (8-7) scored three runs in the second inning on five hits, with three Brandeis (5-14) throwing errors allowing advances. FSU got runs batted in from sophomore 1B Matt Roberge (Lowell, Mass./Lowell), senior LF Chris Cole (Lynn, Mass./Lynn English) and senior CF Chris Blydell (Lynn, Mass./Swampscott).
After the second inning, the game turned into a pitcher's duel between Brandeis grad student Pat Nicholson (Walpole, Mass./Walpole) and FSU senior Ryan Stoller (Milton, Mass./Milton). Nicholson allowed runners in every inning, but lasted through the ninth, getting out of trouble with a couple of double play balls in the fourth and seventh. He finished with two strikeouts and two walks to go with 12 hits and three runs (two earned).
Stoller, meanwhile, allowed just one Brandeis hit through six innings, as rookie 1B Kyle Brenner (Brookfield, Mass./St. Peter-Marian) doubled to lead off the second but was stranded on third. Stoller retired 15 of the next 16 Brandeis hitters until sophomore DH Dan Gad (Mansfield, Mass./Mansfield) led off the seventh with a single but got erased on a double play. Stoller finished with 7.2 innings of four-hit ball, striking out four and walking two while allowing just one earned run.
Brandeis finally broke through against Stoller in the eighth. With one out, sophomore pinch hitter Brian Ing (Sandwich, Mass./Sandwich) coaxed a five-pitch walk. He moved up a base on a ground out and scored on a heads-up play, dashing home from second when senior CF Zach Malis (Merrick, N.Y./Bellmore JFK) punched a ground ball to second base and beat the first baseman to the bag. After Judge rookie Pat Seaward (York, Maine/York) singled to put runners on the corners, just Brandeis's fourth hit of the game, FSU coach Brian Blumsack summoned rookie Patrick Murray (Framingham, Mass./Framingham) from the bullpen. Blumsack induced a grounder to second base by Gad to end the inning.
After Nicholson stranded a runner on second in the top of the ninth, Brandeis scored two unearned runs in the bottom of the frame to force extra innings. Senior catcher Kenny Destremps (Mashpee, Mass./Mashpee) stroked a one-out double to right field. That brought out Blumsack from the dugout once again, and sophomore Brendan Busa (Framingham, Mass./Framingham) took the hill. After Busa induced a grounder to third base for the second out, Brandeis rookie SS Brian Allen (Salem, N.H./Central Catholic, Mass.) hit a grounder to second base that was thrown away, allowing Destremps to score and putting the tying run in scoring position. Ing followed by lining a 1-1 pitch to left and knotting the game at 3-3.
The Judges just missed an opportunity to win the game in regulation, as Ing stole second. After Busa issued a walk to pinch hitter Rob Trenk (West Orange, N.J./West Orange), Malis fell behind 0-2 before lining a pitch down the right-field line that was just foul by a foot. Busa managed to finish the strikeout and force the extra frame.
In the 10th, sophomore 2B Ivan Colon (Waltham, Mass./Waltham) was hit by a pitch by Brenner, who came over from first base to relieve Nicholson. After Roberge bunted Colon to second and a passed ball got him to third, senior DH Pedro Acevedo (Fall River, Mass./New Britain) singled to right field to drive in what proved to be the winning run. Cole followed with an RBI single to center two batters later to add an insurance run. Brandeis had runners on the corners with two out in the bottom of the 10th, but Busa got the final out on a grounder to second to give the visitors the win.
Offensively, Brandeis had one multiple hitter, in Seaward, who was 2-for-5. Framingham State had three three-hit performances from Blydell (3-6, 2B, SB, RBI), Cole (3-5, R, RBI, SB) and rookie SS Cameron Couillard (No. Andover, Mass./No. Andover), who went 3-5. Colon and Acevedo had two hits each, while Colon scored two runs. Busa earned the win to improve to 2-1, while Brenner suffered the loss and dropped to 2-3 on the campaign.
Brandeis is right back in action tomorrow afternoon at 3 p.m. at Salem State University, while FSU returns to Stein Diamond on Tuesday evening at 7 p.m. to take on Lasell College.

It may be new legislation, but it's a long-standing commitment. It's what every parent and educator wants for our nation's students. And now states and local districts have greater flexibility to meet the needs of their students through custom approaches to teaching, learning, and assessment.
Since 2010, the PARCC states have been leaders in developing assessments that measure students' readiness to succeed in college and career. Thousands of educators have contributed to the design of innovative new test questions that measure students' readiness to master rigorous academic content, think critically and apply knowledge to solve problems, and conduct research to develop and communicate a point of view. Rich assessments that foster deep learning and thinking in the classroom, and are accessible to all.
The PARCC Tests
Released Items & Materials
The states that make up the PARCC consortium have taken the exceptional step of releasing test items from current and recent year's PARCC assessment to give teachers a powerful tool to inform and improve classroom teaching and learning. The test items were built with robust mathematics problems and authentic reading passages selected and reviewed extensively by dozens of educators from PARCC states.
The released materials includes scoring rubrics and guides to the scoring, as well as released item sets, answer keys, standards alignment, and sample student responses – scored and annotated. A significant number of these test questions and supporting instructional resources are now available here on the Partner Resource Center.

27 is my favorite campsite at Rissers Provincial Park. We went there this weekend with some friends, our last camping session of the summer. It was gorgeous and we spent time at the beach and around the fire. I was able to sneak away in the morning before everyone woke up. Caught the sunrise, sitting on the rocks listening to the waves crash, seriously is the best way to wake up! Here are some of the moments I captured that were my favorite. Hope everyone else had a beautiful weekend too!

ST. LOUIS — Thursday night can't come soon enough for John McCain's campaign.
Sure, there's a lot at stake for Sarah Palin, but anything that even remotely distracts the public from the current economic mess is a good thing for McCain.
Right now, the trajectory of this race doesn't favor the GOP nominee.
McCain is trailing in practically every true battleground state, and now, he finds himself defending Republican turf that includes Indiana, Missouri and North Carolina.
There has been steady movement in Barack Obama's direction now for two weeks and the time left for McCain to throw a wrench into that momentum is dwindling.
That's why Thursday is so crucial for McCain.
It's an opportunity not just to prop up Palin's political standing, but to shift the debate back to being a referendum on Obama, rather than on George W. Bush.
If the debate goes as bad as for Palin as some Republicans privately fear, then this slow drift to Obama in the polls could turn into a tidal wave.
But if the history of this campaign is any guide, I suspect that we're going to see a surprise of some sort.
Frankly, we're about due for a momentum shift. After all, has either candidate been able to maintain momentum for longer than two weeks?
McCain can't afford to have another bad weekend going into his next showdown with Obama. He needs to start turning the tide back in his direction.
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
As for the debate itself, it seems as if both candidates have been given an instruction to follow: Don't be your stereotype.
For Palin, that means she can't come across as being behind on the basics.
Slideshow: Sarah Palin: Republican star for 2012? For Biden, that means that he can't over-talk and get over-anxious to make a point.
Of course, all of this is easier said than done.
But there are subtle ways these stereotypes can be avoided. Biden will likely keep his answers short and his attacks directed at McCain and Bush. The less he talks, the more opportunity he will afford Palin to make a mistake.
As we've seen in these television news anchor interviews, Palin gets herself into trouble when she starts filibustering.
So what does this mean for Palin?
She should be relentless against Biden tonight. The more he's put on the defensive, the more likely he'll make a mistake.
Slideshow: A look at Biden For all the NASCAR-like hype this debate is getting, is it possible that this debate can be a game-changer?
If the economy is really what's on the forefront of viewers' minds, is there anything Palin can say to reassure these folks that the GOP ticket will take care of the crisis?
This may not sound fair, but the burden is on McCain and Palin to prove they can fix America's economy.
And it's because of two things: They share party membership with the current president, and there's a generic belief that Democrats can handle the economy better than Republicans.
So, how will this debate be judged?
Will it be judged through the prism of Palin's ability to handle the spotlight or will it be judged by how both candidates present their economic cases to the American people?
Answer that question, and you'll be able to figure out how important (or not) this debate ends up being.

The St. Johnsbury select board wants to keep the Vermont State Police barracks in town, but a high ranking trooper says it's likely the office will be moving in several years.
This week the select board voted unanimously urging the state police to keep their regional office just off Route 5 south of the downtown.
The Caledonian Record reports that State Police Capt. Tim Clouatre says long-term plans call for consolidating the office in St. Johnsbury with another in Bradford by building a new facility in Barnet.
Clouatre says troopers aren't as tied to offices as they used to be because their cruisers have much of the equipment they need, including computers and video cameras, and they carry cellphones.
