Lots of companies have tried to cash in on George Lucas' money machine since the first Star Wars came out in 1977 by paying homage to the film and its characters in commercials, including a certain evil Sith lord who you wouldn't think would make the best pitchman. But it turns out he is!

As laptops have become the largest selling segment of the computer market, one of their most obvious and irritating limitations has been a lack of storage. If you thought desktop drives were slow, then the sub-7200RPM 2.5in drives of the laptop market are in a Sunday league all of their own.
Thankfully, this impressively specced Fujitsu drive attempts to put some of that straight. Using the mystical power of perpendicular recording it has squeezed 120GB into its 2.5-inch form, and we hear a 160GB model will also be available. Doubly impressive is that this is a 7200RPM drive based on the SATA 300 interface.
The result is a massively strong performance from a mobile drive - it was always going to be a fraction of that of the huge desktop drives.
From past experience, shifting a laptop from a slower drive such as 4200RPM or 5400RPM to a faster 7200RPM one does provide a genuine performance boost, making this great value.

The purity of the Acura NSX all but guarantees most of them won't have to endure the kind of awful customization that dooms lesser cars. All but. Two words. Two tones. Too many reasons to buy this NSX and convert it back.
With a price of just $19K this 1991 Acura NSX for sale in Arizona is more NP than CP until you see the BS painted on it. Someone was apparently excited about the prospect of owning a piece of Japanese motoring history while simultaneously desiring a car modeled after the livery of Tommy Kendall's "All Sport" Trans-Am Mustang.
Can someone please purchase this wonderful car and de-uglify it?

Mr. Speaker, the government is axing the Language Technologies Research Centre in the Outaouais.
The Minister of State for Science and Technology claims that the decision to relocate National Research Council researchers to Ottawa was a matter of responsible management. However, an internal review shows that 25% of the premises leased by the NRC at the Université du Québec en Outaouais were not used.
Will the government make a responsible decision to ensure that the NRC maintains a presence in the Outaouais?

When Victoria became Queen in 1837, just 10 days before the start of civil registration, the annual death rate in England and Wales was 22 per thousand. By the time she died in 1901 the rate was less than 15.
The Great Filth by Stephen Halliday tells the story of how this was achieved despite a mass population movement to less healthy cities; 30% urban in the first census in 1801, 78% a century later. It's the story of the fight against squalor, poor housing, dirty water, sewage, ignorance and laissez-faire greed.
The major part of the book is devoted to the roles of scientists, doctors, public servants, midwives, engineers and highlights the work of the various champions within those professions. For Halliday the real champions are the engineers, like Joseph Bazalgette who was responsible for London's sewage system. He slams the medical profession, with a few exceptions like Dr John Snow, who did everything to protect their income and resist simple measures like handwashing -- "gentlemen don't have dirty hands."
He also condemns public servants and politicians who saw their role as restricted to defending the realm, administering the law and keeping taxes low, a philosophy in which they were joined by the affluent and influential.
The emphasis in the book is on London, a city which Halliday has studied in depth, but other cities are not overlooked, especially Liverpool. In 1841 one inhabitant in 29 died each year in Liverpool compared to one in 37 in London, a result of overcrowded unsanitary court housing. I was not aware of the extent to which 1847 saw Liverpool's situation made even worse by the Irish escaping the potato famine. Over 60,000 refugees swelled the city population in the first half of the year, one of my ancestors was likely among them. Many more landed and went on elsewhere. For those who stayed the conditions were an invitation to disease which arrived in the form of cholera in 1849 at a rate three times that in London.
I enjoyed the approach which profiled some of the individuals involved. The major figures are included in the text while profiles of important but less significant players are in boxes. Only in a couple of places did the personal profiles distracted from the flow of the narrative.
You can order The Great Filth at Amazon.ca link, and at a much higher price from Chapters-Indigo; or do as I did and borrow it from the library.

After very much enjoying The Ghost Map and The Medical Detective last year, I'll be putting this on my "For Later" List at the Ottawa Public Library. Also listed is an intriguing book by Emily Cockayne entitled Hubbub: Filth, Noise, & Stench in England, 1600-1770.
Should I be worried about having so many books about sewage on my reading lists?

Signs declare Grand County has dedicated readers
You may see something yellow popping up in yards around Grand County this summer. And we're not just talking about the dandelions.
Participants in the Grand County Library District's (GCLD) popular summer reading program receive free yard signs declaring their commitment to a summer of page-turning. The phrase "Proud to be a Reader! I joined the Summer Reading Program" appears beneath the Library's logo on the bright yellow signs.
Grand County Library District, through their summer reading programs, put books in the hands of children. This is the best antidote for the 'summer slide' in children's reading achievement. Access to books and library programs over the summer results in more reading which, in turn, results in improved reading skills.
"The Summer Reading Program makes reading fun. It encourages children to discover a love of books and develop a powerful habit which lasts a lifetime," said Mary Anne Wilcox, executive director of the Grand County Library District.
Keeping kids reading over the summer has proven benefits. According to the Colorado Department of Education, the average student achievement loss, or "summer set-back" is three months for low-income students and a month for middle-income students. By the end of 5th grade, students who do not read during the summer are behind their peers by a full two years on average.
Just like tee-ball or soccer, kids need to have regular reading practice to continue building vocabulary and comprehension through the summer months. Without the added pressure of a book report or assignment due, kids can have a greater sense of freedom in selecting any kind of books that interest them.
Summer Reading Programs are designed to reduce the "summer set-back" by setting reading goals for children, teens—and even adults—with prizes as rewards when goals are reached.
Jane Harmon, the principal at Granby Elementary School, is so supportive of the idea that she is sending an invitation to every one of her students participating in the program to join her for a special book discussion at the end of the summer. And the students will also be honored at an assembly once school begins again.
Summer Reading sign up continues all summer long at all Grand County Library branches.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.
If you don't follow the rules, your comment may be deleted.

Microsoft Unveils Win 7 Pricing, Upgrade Program
Microsoft on Thursday unveiled pricing information for Windows 7, and announced that its upgrade option program will kick off on Friday.
The company also said it would offer discounted upgrade pre-orders for a limited time.
Starting Friday, consumers who purchase a PC with Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, or Ultimate at participating retailers will get a free upgrade to Windows 7 when it becomes available. The offer will run until Jan. 31, 2010.
For those waiting until the October 22 release date, a Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade will cost $119.99 and the full package will retail for $199.99.
The Windows 7 Professional upgrade will cost $199.99 and the full system will be $299.99. For Windows 7 Ultimate, the upgrade version will retail for $219.99 and the full version will set you back $319.99.
Microsoft said these prices are about 10 percent less than what they charged for Vista - the Home Premium upgrade version of which retailed for $129.99 at launch.
For Windows enthusiasts who are planning ahead, Microsoft is running a promotion that will offer a more than 50 percent discount on the premium and professional upgrade versions of the operating system.
From June 26 to July 11, consumers in the U.S. can pre-order the Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade for $49.99 and the Windows 7 Professional upgrade for $99.99. The offer will be available online via retailers like Best Buy, Amazon.com, or the Microsoft Store.

Users with an XP system can perform a clean installation using the upgrade version of Windows 7. Windows Vista users can do the same thing or perform an in-place upgrade, which maintains all the data, files, and applications on their Vista machine, a Microsoft spokesman said.

One of the most powerful tools of NCAA member institutions is the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee or SAAC. The SAACs across the nation serve several unique purposes in the support of student-athletes. Each NCAA member institution (at all three divisions) has a SAAC. Each NCAA member conference has a committee as well, which is made up of representatives from each member institution's SAAC. Finally, there is the National SAAC which is comprised of representatives from around the country selected by the Management Councils from each respective NCAA Division.
According to the NCAA, the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee serves several primary purposes:
* Generate a student-athlete voice within the NCAA structure.
* Solicit student-athlete response to proposed NCAA legislation.
* Recommend potential NCAA legislation.
* Review, react and comment to the governance structure on legislation, activities and subjects of interest.
* Actively participate in the administrative process of athletics programs and the NCAA.
* Promote a positive student-athlete image.
Birmingham-Southern College's SAAC adheres to these principals to further the overall NCAA SAAC mission which is to "enhance the total student-athlete experience by promoting opportunity, protecting student-athlete welfare and fostering a positive student-athlete image."
BSC's SAAC MISSION
The Birmingham-Southern College Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (BSC's SAAC) is comprised of at least two representatives from each athletic team that will represent and voice the opinions of BSC's student-athletes. The Committee will serve as an advisory board that works closely with the administration of the athletic department and the Faculty Athletic Affairs Committee to bring forward issues that will ensure that each student-athlete has the best possible academic and athletic experience.
This respected line of communication ensures that all athletic teams will be acknowledged in matters of student-athlete welfare, academics, gender equity, and any other issues unique to student-athletes.
SAAC works to foster a supportive and "family" atmosphere by encouraging their teammates to support other athletic teams with their attendance at athletic events.
SAAC will participate in selected service projects throughout the year. Additionally, SAAC representatives are responsible for inviting and encouraging their teammates to take part in community service projects and as well as other service opportunities provided at BSC.
Lastly, this committee provides an opportunity for student-athletes to interact with one another, and together to uphold the ideals, the mission, and the high academic standards of Birmingham-Southern College on the playing field/court and in the classroom.
2018-19 SAAC Leadership
Advisors: Assistant AD's Sheri Salmon and Jennifer Jones
President: Brett Feringa (Men's Soccer)
Vice President: Marjorie Ward (Women's Volleyball)
For questions about SAAC, please contact Assistant Athletic Director Sheri Salmon at (205) 226-4692 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

The present outlook for milk prices does not look very good according to Class III futures. Futures contracts are carrying a discount to the underlying cash on the idea that cheese and butter prices will not hold at current levels.
Two months ago, block cheese was around $1.70 with barrels at $1.65. Cash prices are near those price levels again. However, Class III futures in some contracts for 2009 were $2.50 higher two months ago than where they are today. This is quite a change in price outlook and is reflecting the present state of the economy and the possible affect it could have on dairy product demand. The futures market has moved from carrying a premium to holding a discount to the underlying cash prices.
The market is reflecting the idea that milk production will remain strong as a result of falling grain prices. This should ensure full feed rations for optimum milk production. Earlier this year, many believed culling would increase significantly and changes would be made in rations resulting in lower production. Culling has been higher than a year ago in every month this year except in March with some of this higher culling due to another round of the CWT Herd Reduction program taking place this summer. However, milk prices have continued to fall since this program was announced, giving the impression that it was not enough to compensate for the slowing demand.
The CWT Export Assistance program has been very active with butter obligations for 2008 totaling 40.5 million lbs. and cheese totaling 3.2 million lbs. This helps cheese and butter prices to remain higher. The time of year is another factor as holiday orders are being placed and filled. Lower milk prices are looming and prompted the CWT committee to announce another round of the Herd Reduction program. Bids will be accepted through November 24 with the results to be announced in early December.
The principle is correct in that this will eliminate some milk production, but the time of year is wrong as well as the state of the economy. Reducing milk production while demand is decreasing will maintain the status quo, resulting in no real change in price. So, this is not expected to have much impact on milk prices. It may have more impact in the future if demand increases and the economy stabilizes. We need to view this as a measure that may limit milk price decline, but it will take more than this for a price rally.
The percentage of increase in milk production from January through September has been higher this year than last year. The average increase in production over this period in 2008 has been 2.5%. The average increase for the same period in 2007 was 1.73%. This indicates that higher feed prices did not have the anticipated impact on milk production. Many producers had a portion of their feed contracted at lower prices. There was quite a bit of concern earlier this year as to how much feed would cost once these contracts ended in September and October. However, this concern has been alleviated with the decrease in grain prices. Profitability will not be much greater as along with decreasing grain prices, we are seeing decreasing milk prices.
So, we are not much better off than we were earlier this year. The markets always give an opportunity to hedge at good prices during the year. Now is the time to lock up feed costs for next year using futures or options contracts. The opportunity to hedge milk at good prices is past for the time being. Price protection can still be done with certain strategies to avoid milk prices falling below cost of production, but the optimum time is past. Remember, do not dwell on the past and what should have been done, but continue to look forward to opportunities that are here and those that will come.
Upcoming reports to watch for are the October Agricultural Prices report on October 31; the October federal order class prices on October 31; the September Dairy Product Production report on November 2; the Crop Production report and the World Supply and Demand report on November 10.

Although preference polls portray the presidential race as essentially deadlocked, polling on fundamental issues continues to favor Mitt Romney. The latest such poll comes from AP. It finds that 47 percent of likely voters believe Romney would be better than President Obama at ending the "logjam" in Washington, while only 37 percent say Obama would be better than Romney in this respect.
The same poll finds Romney leading Obama by 47-45. The lead is not statistically insignificant, but Team Obama can't be happy about a poll that shows the president with only 45 percent support at this late date.
Romney has pushed hard on the theme that he can work with Democrats. Obama, meanwhile, has spent four years proving that he can't work with Republicans. Thus, the belief that Romney would be better at breaking the D.C. gridlock is a natural one, even though it's doubtful that, in reality, either candidate could make much headway in this regard.
Still, voters yearn for cooperation between the two parties. So Romney's edge probably is politically significant, assuming that Chris Christie doesn't spoil it.

SPRINGFIELD – Republican Bruce Rauner's proposal to dump a temporary state income tax increase would cost public schools $4 billion a year and lead to 28,000 teacher layoffs, the rival campaign for Illinois governor said Wednesday.
Paul Vallas, Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn's running mate, presented a by-school-district breakdown of cuts he said would be required under Rauner's "Jobs and Growth" agenda, which calls for rolling back Quinn's temporary 67 percent tax hike in January from 5 percent to its pre-2011 level of 3 percent – not 3.75 percent, as the law currently reads.
The reduction would leave school districts scrambling to raise local taxes, cut educational services and extracurricular activities, and increase class sizes, Vallas contended.
Rauner spokesman Mike Schrimpf said in an email that the Winnetka businessman would make education a top priority. He said despite a tax increase, Quinn cut education spending by $500 million during his five years in office, forcing teacher layoffs and larger class sizes.
"And ours are real numbers, not like the ones Vallas made up, which he can't source," Schrimpf said. "His is from a fantasyland, designed to set up a TV ad."
Since the start of the economic crisis in 2009, support for elementary and secondary education has decreased about $700 million overall, according to the Illinois State Board of Education, though spending has increased over the past two years.
Vallas, who served as schools chief in Chicago, Philadelphia, New Orleans, and Bridgeport, Connecticut, conducted the analysis with Quinn campaign policy staff members. He said returning to a 3 percent tax rate – which Rauner says he would accomplish over four years – would leave an $8 billion hole in the budget. That's about half of the annual budgetary amount considered discretionary spending that could be cut – money for seniors in the Department on Aging, veterans and child protective services, Vallas said.
Because education makes up half of that discretionary funding, Vallas assumed for his analysis that it would mean a 50 percent cut to schools "unless they stop funding pensions, unless they stop paying bills, unless they totally decimate some of the other discretionary categories."
"It's a plan that either reflects a basic misunderstanding on how state government works and the purpose of the general [discretionary] funds, or maybe it reflects a general attitude that you can dramatically cut across the board and address the state's long-term needs that way," Vallas told reporters at a teachers' union professional-development facility.
"The bottom line is, it doesn't work, it's going to have a devastating impact, and I think voters need to know what the impact's going to be."
The impact includes dismissing 27,700 teachers, a number Vallas contended was conservative because it assumes that school districts would make up at least half of the $4 billion reduction, primarily through increased local property taxes – which Rauner promises to seek legislative approval to freeze.
Vallas said Rauner's pledge was an attempt to "appeal to everybody: 'I'm going to cut your taxes, but I'm going to freeze your property taxes. Then I'm going to increase funding for education.'"

Last night, after a long day and before a late dinner, I sat down with my wife to watch the news on CNN. Anderson Cooper was broadcasting from a studio in New York, but his tape was from Syria. He rightly demanded that we watch a two-year-old child in the besieged city of Homs die of shrapnel wounds inflicted by the regime of Bashar al-Assad. The camera stayed on the child until the last breath was out of him. His father cradled him and kept asking what his poor son had ever done to anyone to deserve it.
Then Cooper spoke with a reporter—a very great and experienced reporter—who was on the scene, Marie Colvin, of the Sunday Times of London. The image of Colvin on the screen was instantly recognizable to anyone who has spent time reporting, as she had for a generation, from the Middle East, Africa, Chechnya, the Balkans, or South Asia; after losing an eye in the civil war in Sri Lanka, in 2001, she wore an eye patch. For decades, she has been a ubiquitous presence in the war zones of the world and her reports in the Times were admired in the close-knit world of foreign correspondents for their scrupulous and straightforward eloquence.
On the telephone from Homs, Colvin told Anderson that the death of the child was an emblem of the overall "reality" of what was happening in Homs:
These are twenty-eight thousand civilians, men, women and children, hiding, being shelled, defenseless. That little baby is one of two children who died today, one of the children being injured every day. That baby probably will move more people to think, "What is going on, and why is no one stopping this murder in Homs that is happening every day?"
Clearly, and without hype, Colvin described how every house in Homs had been hit, including the top floor of the house where she was taking refuge. There was cool but profound rage in her voice. Of Bashar al-Assad's armed forces, Colvin said, "It's a complete and utter lie they're only going after terrorists. The Syrian Army is simply shelling a city of cold, starving civilians."
Cooper remarked, admiringly, that it was rare to hear a journalist use the word "lie."
Not long after, the sickening report from Syria ended. I mentioned to my wife that a decade ago, wandering with other journalists through Jenin, a West Bank city that had been ravaged during an Israeli military incursion, I'd met Colvin. She had taken up living in a small house, and when she saw me and a few more experienced colleagues walking down an empty street marked by tank tracks, shuttered shops, and spent ammunition, she recognized a fool at risk. She called me into the house—a strong, clear American voice—fed us, let me file from her miraculously still-working satellite phone, and gave good stern advice on how to get through town without getting detained. She'd made a life of this work; I was a relative rookie. She was generous and funny and knew precisely the risks she was running. When I came home and mentioned to more experienced reporters that I'd run into Marie Colvin, they all spoke of her as someone of genuine honesty, intelligence, and bravery.
After turning off the news and eating a late dinner, I read, watched a movie, and went to bed—but it was impossible to put that child, or Marie's voice, out of my head.
This morning, we all woke to the news that Marie Colvin, as well as a French photographer, Rémi Ochlik, were dead. Just hours after that Syrian child, and so many others had died, she and Ochlik were killed by rocket fire in Homs. Colvin's death comes less than a week after the death of Anthony Shadid, in Syria, near the Turkish border. (Jon Lee Anderson, who published his own remarkable report in this week's New Yorker, was among the friends and family to celebrate Anthony at his funeral on Tuesday in Beirut.) And the news of their deaths comes at the same time as reports of a Syrian blogger, Rami al-Sayed, killed by rocket fire in Homs.
It is not yet clear if the Syrian government deliberately targeted the building in which Colvin and Ochlik, and a number of other journalists, were working. (The Times described it as a "makeshift media center.") At least three other journalists were apparently injured in the same attack. All this suggests that the Assad regime may have begun a direct assault on the media, though that remains unclear. Many of the foreign reporters filing from Syria have done so after sneaking across the border.
Colvin would be the first to demand that we concentrate less on her own death than on the outrage of the Syrian Army, under the command of a tyrant too often described as a "mild-mannered" eye doctor, slaughtering its own people. And it is all being carried out with arms and diplomatic cover from Vladimir Putin.
Like Shadid, Colvin devoted her life—and gave her life—for the proposition that the truth of history demands witnesses. Her death, like Shadid's, like that of so many others, is yet another reminder, as if any more were needed, that experience in the field is no shelter from disaster. In November 2010, at St. Bride's Church in London, Colvin was one of the speakers at a service called Truth At All Costs to honor the hundreds of journalists who have died in war zones over the years. The Duchess of Cornwall was there. As ever, Colvin spoke best for herself as she described the essential place of war reporting and the inner calculus of risk. Here are a few paragraphs, but I would hope you will read it all:
Your Royal Highness, ladies and gentlemen, I am honored and humbled to be speaking to you at this service tonight to remember the journalists and their support staff who gave their lives to report from the war zones of the twenty-first century. I have been a war correspondent for most of my professional life. It has always been a hard calling. But the need for frontline, objective reporting has never been more compelling.
Covering a war means going to places torn by chaos, destruction, and death, and trying to bear witness. It means trying to find the truth in a sandstorm of propaganda when armies, tribes or terrorists clash. And yes, it means taking risks, not just for yourself but often for the people who work closely with you.
Despite all the videos you see from the Ministry of Defense or the Pentagon, and all the sanitized language describing smart bombs and pinpoint strikes, the scene on the ground has remained remarkably the same for hundreds of years. Craters. Burned houses. Mutilated bodies. Women weeping for children and husbands. Men for their wives, mothers children.
Our mission is to report these horrors of war with accuracy and without prejudice. We always have to ask ourselves whether the level of risk is worth the story. What is bravery, and what is bravado?

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Looking to build upon last weekend's season-opening 1-1 draw with the LA Galaxy, the New England Revolution returns to action this Saturday, March 26, when the club opens its 2011 home schedule against Eastern Conference rival D.C. United.
Kickoff from Gillette Stadium is set for 4:30 p.m. and fans can watch the action live in high definition on Comcast SportsNet New England. The radio call will be available on 98.5 The Sports Hub.
Saturday's match will be the earliest home opener in Revolution history, as the club has played only one previous regular-season home game – the 2008 season opener against the Houston Dynamo on March 29 – in the month of March.
Current Form: Both sides looking to build momentum following impressive results
Overcoming a slew of obstacles – injuries to a trio of projected starters and a treacherous Southern California rain storm, for instance – the Revs battled their way to a 1-1 draw with the Galaxy last Sunday at The Home Depot Center. Shalrie Joseph got the Revolution's season off to a perfect start with a goal less than three minutes into the match, and although Juninho leveled the score with a long-range rocket in the 39th minute, the Revs' revamped backline held firm to claim a valuable point.
Charlie Davies made a triumphant return to the field at RFK Stadium, coming off the bench to score a pair of goals and lead a new-look D.C. United side to a convincing 3-1 win over the Columbus Crew last weekend. United will arrive in Foxborough full of confidence on the back of that performance and will be looking to gain an early foothold in the Eastern Conference with a string of positive results.
Past Meetings: Revs look to maintain recent dominance over D.C.
The Revs earned a pair of shutout victories over D.C. United in the 2010 regular season, extending their unbeaten streak to four games (3-0-1) over United since the start of the 2009 campaign. Kenny Mansally – who will be unavailable for Saturday's match while on national team duty with Gambia – came off the bench to score both goals in the Revolution's 2-0 win at RFK Stadium on April 3, 2010, while Pat Phelan's first career goal was enough to lift New England to a 1-0 victory in the return fixture on Aug. 7.
Injury Report: Alston, Domi set to return for the Revolution; Perovic to miss out
Both Kevin Alston (L hamstring strain) and Didier Domi (R knee swelling) missed the Revolution's season-opening draw with the Galaxy last weekend, but the duo has since recovered and will be available for selection this weekend against D.C. United. Central midfielder Ousmane Dabo (R quad strain) is likely one more week away from making his MLS debut for the Revs, however, while last year's leading scorer, Marko Perovic, has been ruled out with a left hamstring strain.
Defender Jed Zayner (L hamstring strain) will not make the trip for D.C., while rookie sensation Perry Kitchen will also be unavailable while on duty with the U.S. Under-20 National Team. Both Zayner and Kitchen started on United's backline in last weekend's win over Columbus.
Key Matchup: Revolution's central defenders vs. United's forwards
A rejuvenated Josh Wolff put together a man-of-the-match type performance in his first appearance for D.C. United last weekend, scoring the club's first goal and threatening throughout his 83-minute stint. Whether Wolff is partnered by Davies or Joseph Ngwenya this weekend, the veteran will likely be full of confidence and eager to continue his fast start.
Tasked with the duty of slowing United's forward line will be the Revolution's young center back pairing of Franco Coria and A.J. Soares. Both just 22 years old, Coria and Soares made their MLS debuts last weekend against the Galaxy and despite a couple shaky moments, generally looked rock-solid at the back.
Final Thoughts: Another fast start critical as the Revs look to stifle United
After riding Joseph's third-minute goal to a positive result last weekend at The Home Depot Center, the Revs will once again be looking to get out on the front foot.
"I think a lot of people had a misconception that we were kind of playing a bunker-down, hold-on-for-the-win [style]," said Phelan of last weekend's 1-1 draw with the Galaxy. "I don't think a lot of teams go out to LA and out-possess them on their home field.
"We wanted to attack, we just didn't have the quality or the patience to do that," he continued. "I think this weekend we're going to look to improve upon that and really start out well like we did last week, take it to them and put them on their heels."

Want to spur consumer spending to stimulate our economy?
About 77 million Americans have a debt in collections — more than one-third of all consumers — and the median outstanding debt is $1,350. Most of those people are in debt trying to maintain, not expand, their standard of living as wages stagnate while prices rise.
Meanwhile, extortion-like student loan payments are keeping many college grads from spending on housing and other stimuli that would improve the economy.
As the working class struggles to make ends meet, the richest few get even richer. Together, the CEOs of the S&P 500 companies reported $5.9 billion in compensation last year. That's enough to give all 3.3 million Americans who earn the minimum wage a $1,800 pay bump every year.
The income gap expands. A living wage would stimulate consumer spending and help the richest CEOs as well. Government programs that provide assistance to the working class do not diminish economic recovery. Remember when employers replaced retiring workers rather than absorbing their positions? Being required to work longer hours for zero extra pay doesn't pay.
Class warfare was started and is perpetuated by the near-sighted greed of the richest few, who seemingly can only see as far as their next quarter's record profits.
How's that working out for you?
— Michael Cannariato, Rockford

Separatist executed
DELHI. A Kashmiri separatist has been executed over his role in a deadly attack on parliament in Delhi in 2001, an episode that brought India and Pakistan to the brink of war.
Mohammad Afzal Guru, a former fruit seller, was hanged at Tihar jail on the outskirts of the capital on Saturday after his final appeal for mercy was rejected by President Pranab Mukherjee. He is only the second person to be executed in India in nearly a decade.
With authorities fearing a backlash over the execution, a curfew was imposed in parts of Indian-administered Kashmir.
''Afzal Guru was hanged at 8am. All legal procedures were followed in the execution,'' Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde said.
Guru was found guilty of conspiring with and sheltering the militants who attacked the parliament.

San Francisco's present-day citizens got a recent visit from the "future" — a DeLorean hovercraft wowed onlookers by spinning out near the Golden Gate Bridge on Saturday.
The craft is the creation of Matthew Riese, who raised money on Kickstarter to fund his "Back to the Future" homage. Deciding he doesn't need roads, Riese has taken the hovercraft to several Bay Area spots, including the waters near Emeryville and McCovey Cove during a Giants game.
The hovercraft has been featured in Make: and PC Magazine. Riese has said he built the body from scratch using a modified hovercraft kit, rather than trying to fashion it with an existing DeLorean body. He registered it with the California DMV as a boat, and started cruising in 2012. His YouTube page shows some bumps along the way, including a faceplant into a fence during a test drive.
Currently the boat reaches 45 mph, not the 88 mph needed for time-travel, so his @DavidLorean Twitter bio says he's "stuck in 2012 until I can find some plutonium." Marty McFly says: Good luck with that.

Transnational organized crime threat assessments
The world population grows every year, and so does the volume of exchanges among people. The vast majority of these exchanges are legitimate and beneficial, but a significant share is not. Transnational criminal markets crisscross the planet, conveying drugs, arms, trafficked women, toxic waste, stolen natural resources or protected animals' parts. Hundreds of billions of dollars of dirty money flow through the world every year, distorting local economies, corrupting institutions and fuelling conflict. Transnational organized crime has become a central issue in international affairs, an important factor in the global economy, and an immediate reality for people around the world. Aside from the direct effects - drug addiction, sexual exploitation, environmental damage and a host of other scourges - organized crime has the capacity to undermine the rule of law and good governance, without which there can be no sustainable development.
In order to enhance the knowledge base available for Member States to develop effective international responses to transnational organized crime threats, UNODC has produced a series of regional and thematic transnational organized crime threat assessments, as well as one global report (published in June 2010).

Dean's Welcome
Welcome to the website for the College of Nursing at Montana State University. It is an exciting time to be a nurse! As the changes in our national health care system evolve, nurses will have greater opportunities to provide affordable, effective, evidence based care. The College of Nursing offers a variety of educational programs and learning opportunities that prepare our graduates for this exciting, rapidly changing world of health care. This website will provide you with information about those different programs as well as the college in general.
The college has four campuses and one outreach site where our baccalaureate program is offered. Educational experiences may vary among the campuses but are always excellent within a consistent curriculum. In addition to our traditional baccalaureate program, we offer an accelerated program on our Bozeman and Great Falls campuses to students who already have a degree in another discipline.
Our master's program prepares clinical nurse leaders. The doctorate in nursing practice program prepares family nurse practitioners and family psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners. Graduates of this program have expertise in primary care as well as in health policy, leadership, and systems thinking. All graduate classes are delivered using distance technologies.
Faculty in the college are not only excellent teachers but also active researchers. For example, they are testing interventions that could assist Native American children with advanced stages of tooth decay and the elderly with end-of-life decision-making. Patient safety, assisting individuals to better understand complementary and alternative therapies, plus studies on how to improve diagnosis and treatment of wounds are included in the college's research portfolio. From studies of the resilience of older adults with fibromyalgia pain to in-depth understanding of health care needs among Native Americans, College of Nursing faculty seek to better serve Montanans and those beyond, building a healthy future for all. The activities of our faculty scholars are supported by the Office of Research and Scholarship within the college.
Our students are high achievers and are well prepared for professional practice. Graduates of the baccalaureate program consistently pass the NCLEX licensing examination at a rate well above the national average as do our nurse practitioner graduates as they write the national certification exam.
This tradition of excellence has been in place for 75 years and we look forward to building on this success for the next 75 years. Whether you are a prospective student or faculty member, an alumus, or a friend of the College, I invite you to explore our website to learn more about the College. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. We welcome the opportunity to talk with you more about the college and nursing as a career.

|Head Coach
|Alma Mater:
|William Carey
|Graduating Year:
|8 Years
Justin Maullin is in his eighth season as the head men's soccer coach at UNCG in 2017 and his 13th season on the Spartans' coaching staff.
Last season, the Spartans once again led the Southern Conference in scoring, tallying a league-high 116 points and 39 goals. The Spartans had 20 points more than the next best team in the league and over 60 shots more than the second ranked team in the conference. UNCG finished the year with an 11-7-2 overall record and a 6-4-0 mark in league play, advancing to the SoCon Semifinals.
Senior forward Damieon Thomas led the league and highlighted three Spartans on the First Team All-SoCon Team with 24 total points (8 goals, 8 assists). Sophomore Leeroy Maguraushe and junior Eric Gunnarsson also earned All-League accolades while Maguraushe was named to the NSCAA All-Region Team.
In 2015, Maullin led the Spartans to the 2015 Southern Conference regular season championship with an 11-5-5 overall record and a 6-1-3 mark in league play. The Spartans were undefeated at home during league play (3-0-2) and finished the year with a 6-2-3 record. UNCG ended the 2015 campaign ranking seventh in the nation in scoring offense at 2.19 goals per game.
The Spartans dominated the SoCon postseason honors with Jacques Francois earning league Player of the Year nods and Leeroy Maguraushe picking up SoCon Freshman of the Year accolades. Additionally, the Spartans placed seven on the league's All-SoCon Team and had two members named to the SoCon All-Freshman Team.
In 2014, the Spartans placed three on the Southern Conference All-Freshman Team and had two members named to the All-SoCon First Team. The Spartans have had a member on the rookie team in all five seasons under Maullin's guidance, including four seasons with multiple honors. Additionally, the Spartans earned NSCAA All-Academic Team accolades for the fourth straight year under Maullin's tutelage.
In 2013, the Spartans finished third in the SoCon and placed two players on the all-league team in seniors Mahdi Ali and Oddur Gudmundsson. UNCG also had two members on the SoCon All-Freshman Team in Hugo Coicaud and Rouven Wahlfeldt.
In 2012, the Spartans placed two players on the All-SoCon team in senior forward Hakan Ilhan and goalkeeper Peyton Ford. It marked the third straight year that Ilhan has been honored in the SoCon postseason awards. Additionally, freshman Lukas Zarges was named to the SoCon All-Freshman team.
In 2011, the Spartans allowed just one goal against in SoCon play, out-scoring opponents 13-1. The Spartans had five members named to the Southern Conference postseason teams. Senior Kris Byrd and junior forward Hakan Ilhan picked up First Team honors while junior goalkeeper Peyton Ford and freshman Austin Miller picked up Second Team accolades.
Maullin spent the 2010 season with the "interim" head coaching title but made his promotion an easy decision for UNCG Director of Athletics Kim Record, who officially made him the program's seventh head coach Nov. 22, 2010.
Maullin guided the Spartans to a share of the Southern Conference regular season title, the SoCon Tournament championship and the program's 12th NCAA Tournament appearance since 1991. He was the easy choice for SoCon Coach of the Year honors, becoming the first rookie head coach in the 22-year history of the conference tournament to claim the title.
Maullin, who succeeded long-time head coach Michael Parker, led UNCG to an 11-match unbeaten streak (8-0-3), which culminated with a 1-0 win over Furman in the Southern Conference Tournament championship game.
Maullin had just nine players return from the 2009 roster and brought 19 new players into the program. Seven of those new players were in the starting lineup on opening night. Among the new players were five all-conference selections, including the Southern Conference's eventual leading scorer Hakan Ilhan.
Maullin was promoted to the UNCG top spot after spending five years as the program's full-time assistant form 2005-2009. During his time as an assistant, the Spartans won two SoCon regular season titles and advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2005, 2006 and 2008.
A native of Johannesburg, South Africa, Maullin spent six seasons as an assistant at UCF before coming to UNCG. During Maullin's tenure at UCF, the Golden Knights won 10 or more matches in five out of six seasons, advancing to the NCAA tournament each of his last three seasons..
Maullin attended William Carey College in Gulfport, Miss. He graduated from William Carey in 1997 with a bachelor's degree in management and marketing. During his time with the Crusaders, he served as a team captain and earned NAIA Academic All-America honors. He helped William Carey rise to a No. 1 national ranking his senior year.
Maullin was drafted into the Eastern Indoor Soccer League. He played two years for the Cocoa Expos and two years for the Central Florida Kraze. In 1993 he signed with the New Orleans Gamblers.After his graduation from William Carey, he stayed on with the Crusaders as an assistant men's soccer coach for two seasons, helping to guide the Crusaders to back-to-back NAIA national semifinal appearances. He helped William Carey to a No. 1-ranking again as an assistant coach in 1997 and 1998.
In April 2007, Maullin was inducted into William Carey's Wall of Fame for his post-graduation successes. Four years later, he was inducted as a member of the inaugural Hall of Fame class at William Carey.
Maullin earned a master's degree from UCF in business administration in December 2001. He and his wife, Brittany, reside in High Point. They welcomed their first son, Hylton, in May of 2012 and their first daughter, Evan, in 2015.

(Corrects loan figure in paragraph 2)
LONDON, Oct 4 (Reuters) - Poland's goal of reducing dependence on Russian gas took a step forward on Thursday after it secured the final investments to start construction of its first liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) on Thursday said it gave a 75 million euro ($96.76 million) 12-year loan to Polish gas grid operator Gaz-System to begin building a terminal expected to start importing gas from Qatar in 2014.
"What this project really represents is a choice for Poland to receive one third of its gas from a country other than Russia for the first time," EBRD Managing Director for Energy and Natural Resources Ricardo Puliti told Reuters.
EBRD's loan, along with 175 million euros already secured from the European Union, the European Investment Bank (150 million euros) and Poland's Gaz-System, sets the stage for construction to begin.
As well as receiving oil-indexed supplies from Qatar, two-thirds of the capacity at Poland's 5 billion cubic metre-per-year Baltic coast terminal will be reserved for cargoes imported on a spot basis from elsewhere.
"Given the strong links between the U.S. and Poland I would not be surprised at all if we saw some U.S. gas coming over," Puliti said.
It is hoped that supplier diversity will strengthen Poland's negotiating position in an ongoing row with Russia's Gazprom
over gas prices that are linked to oil.
Seaborne gas delivered by Qatari state-run exporter Qatargas, even though it is oil-linked, will likely undercut Russian pipeline gas and reduce its dominant position in Poland, Puliti said.
"By raising competition you are in a better position to re-negotiate long-term contracts with all suppliers," he said.
Russia's cash-strapped European customers are stepping up their opposition to oil-indexed gas supplies while the European Commission is investigating Gazprom over suspicions that it hindered the free-flow of supply across the continent.
Previous supply cut-offs of Russian gas have fuelled part of the debate in Poland about the country's reliance on Russian energy.
Its 15 billion cubic metre/year gas market relies on Russia for almost all of its imported supplies and poor connections to nearby European markets hamper attempts to diversify with pipeline supplies.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is based off the real life FBI law enforcement agency. In GTA III Era games, the FBI is the third level of law enforcement that pursues the player. The FBI will appear only when the player's wanted level reaches five stars, before the Army on six stars.
FBI Agents wear black suits with dark glasses and blue jackets with "FBI" printed on the back in nearly all of the GTA III era games. In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories they wear black vests over gray t-shirts with "FBI" printed on the back. The FBI agents are well armed in all appearances, and their vehicles are generally extremely fast. The FBI comes four agents in each car, and since they are well armed and very accurate, they will kill the player extremely quick if they have an open range. They carry MP5 in all of the GTA III era games except for Grand Theft Auto III where this weapon is unavailable and instead they carry AK-47's and will also drop pistols if killed.
In Grand Theft Auto IV, the agency is known as the Federal Investigation Bureau (FIB, each letter is pronounced individually), presumably to avoid conflict with the real-life FBI. The name is also a play on words, since fib is a synonym of lie.
As the wanted level system changed in GTA IV, they now appear at four stars, sometimes along with NOOSE to assist the LCPD, and more heavily at five and six, and will expertly drive and doggedly follow the player. They now drive FIB Buffaloes with four agents to a car and will either shoot at the player out their windows or try to spin the player out if the player is in a car. Agents are typically armed with Carbine Rifles, although some agents carry Pump Shotguns and SMGs instead. Additionally in The Ballad of Gay Tony, agents carry the Automatic Shotgun in place of the Pump Shotgun and the Assault SMG as a supplement to the Carbine Rifle and standard SMG. FIB agents appear to be better shots than NOOSE's Tactical Response Unit, however they are more susceptible to return fire, more likely to drop their weapons when shot.
The FBI have their own law enforcement vehicles in each GTA III era game and GTA IV, which can also be used for Vigilante missions.
