By Michael C. Bender, Marc Caputo and Alex Leary
Ahead of the FOX News/Google debate tonight, the Republican presidential candidates and some of Florida's elected officials addressed a crowd of several hundred folks at the Faith & Freedom Coalition.
Some quick highlights as it happens:
• Michele Bachmann, the first candidate on stage, invoked 16th century Puritan John Winthrop and compared the group to the Pilgrims, telling them to live their lives like "a shining city upon a hill."
"When we stand for what God says is true .. our nation is bless," the U.S. House rep from Minnesota said. "And we should not be ashamed of this word.
Bachmann said "the first unit of government is the family."
"You are not alone," Bachmann said.
"People of faith all across the country are coming together as never before because they see 2012 is it," she said. "And they are committed to making Barack Obama a one term president."
• Mitt Romney takes the stage at 3:48 pm. and lets his wife, Ann, say hello. While Bachmann focused much of her speech on God and faith, Romney launches immediately into the economy and stays there for his eight minute speech.
Romney says Obama is "eloquent" but "just didn't follow through."
"You wonder why in the world he is so misguided," Romney asks. He then answers his own question: "Perhaps it's all those years in the Harvard faculty lounge."
Romney says liberals aren't dumb, just wrong and implies he's the most electable candidate. "To beat Barack Obama, I think it helps to have someone whose had a job to create jobs for the American people."
• Quick break from the presidential candidates for Florida Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll, who gives a rousing five minutes that could substitute for a Sunday morning sermon.
She blasts the media, which she says "would like nothing better than to ridicule Christians."
"These are very sad times when we allow the minority to poison the minds of the majority," Carroll said, saying this is "exactly" what "socialists" and "dictators" do.
Carroll says she made it through a recent health scare because of her prayers. "The only reason I survived was because God heard my profess commitment to him."
She said, "There is no gray area: You either believe or you don't believe."
"It's funny when these storms brew up you never hear anyone praying to Satan," Carroll said.
• Rick Santorum takes the mic about 4:15 p.m., and recognizes his audience right away. "In a word, faith is what made America great," he said.
Calls on audience to review candidates not by what box they check or pledge they make but "what bullets and arrows they take for the causes they say they believe in."
Santorum says he's the strongest candidate because he was a repeat winner in a swing state, Pennsylvania.
• Ron Paul 4:31 p.m.: Starts off by telling stories from the Bible, but gets applause when he starts for talking about reforming the monetary system. Paul says families should take responsibility for educating children, not the Department of Education.
Paul charges audience to take up fight for liberty, freedom to "practice the truth."
• Herman Cain gets standing ovation as he takes the stage at 4:47 p.m. "Delighted to be here," he says.
He says Founding Fathers probably meant to put gun rights into the Declaration of Independence. Huge cheers again.
Cain calls America a "nation of crises" and says the county is dealing with economic, entitlement spending, energy, immigration and "foggy foreign policy" crises.
"And the biggest crisis we have is a severe deficiency of leadership crisis in the White House and in America," Cain said.
Another standing ovation at the end of eight minutes. Biggest applause so far.
• Newt Gingrich comes out to the Rocky theme song, wife at side. "I looked for a teleprompter," he says. "I guess I'll just have to speak from my heart." Pledges to sign series of executive orders, banning abortion funding, etc, move embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
"President Obama is the best food stamp president in American history," he says. "With your help, I would like to be the best pay check president."
Gingrich's speech quite short, though he previews his "21st Century Contract With America," which he promises will be "bolder, bigger and more comprehensive" than the last one.
• "Howdy," Rick Perry says as he takes the stage at 5:16 p.m.
Perry tells a bootstraps story about growing up poor. Says his upbringing was "centered around hard work, faith and family."
"Those values stick with me today," he says, then spends the rest of his 11-minute speech mostly bashing Obama.
Perry says some people believe America is in decline. "I disagree. Washington D.C. is in decline," he says.
Perry points to the 9.1 national unemployment rate (1.6 percentage points below Florida's). "That is not an economic recovery, Mr. President," Perry says. "That is an economic disaster. We cannot afford four more years of this high unemployment."
"It is time for a change," Perry says.

Sprint Realizing That Data Caps Turn Customers Off
from the about-time dept
Apparently, I wasn't alone in thinking this and Sprint has noticed. With its new WiMax network, it has stayed away from talking about any caps, and has now admitted that the reaction to the EVDO caps is part of the reason why. They're afraid that, just as they're trying to convince people to use the WiMax network, they'll get scared off by caps. The problem, of course, is that these mobile broadband providers are fighting against themselves on these things. They want to convince the world that these networks are useful -- and to do that, you have to show all the cool things that you can do with them. But, if they haven't really invested enough in the networks, they can actually run into some congestion problems, and so they can't encourage you to use them too much. Hopefully, the investment into WiMax (or, potentially moving on to LTE) will mean that such congestion problems are mostly a thing of the past, and that it's not worth implementing caps.
That said, Sprint's admission of how people responded to the EVDO caps should be a clear warning to ISPs that keep trying to implement broadband caps or metered broadband. Doing so imposes additional costs that you might not have considered, such as the mental transaction costs your users face in determining if it's even worth using your network. Of course, ISPs should know this already. We already have a detailed case study in that AOL only really took off after it switched from hourly billing to an unlimited flat-rate. Why some ISPs want to go back to make their product less valuable is beyond me.

Tottenham will make an official bid worth around £15 million (€18m) for Leandro Damiao in an attempt to add quality to their strikeforce as they push for a place in the Champions League next season.
Spurs have chased Damiao for two years but feel this transfer window could be the best time to finally land their man from Brazilian club Internacional, with the Londoners' need for further forward options highlighted by Emmanuel Adebayor's u-turn in deciding to play for Togo in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Damiao and Porto playmaker Joao Moutinho are the two major targets in the remainder of the January window for Spurs, who have already this month reached a pre-contract agreement to sign Lewis Holtby in June and bought youngster Zeki Fryers from Standard Liege.
|Tottenham are 11/10 with Bet365 to finish in the top four this season
Damiao, who has 14 caps for Brazil, caught the eye as he finished top scorer in the 2012 Olympic Games with six goals, and is also attracting interest from Inter Milan having been the subject of several bids from Spurs over the last two years.
The deal to sign Damiao is particularly complicated due to third party investors and Internacional's changing stance with regards to their star man, despite the 'partnership agreement' struck between the Brazilian club and Tottenham when Sandro moved to north London in 2010.
Asked last week about the prospect of Damiao moving to Tottenham or another big European club in January, the player's agent Vinicius Prates said: "While Leandro Damiao stays at Internacional, Tottenham will always be interested.
"Andre Villas-Boas has liked him since he was Chelsea's manager."
The Portuguese coach has also publicly revealed his admiration for Damiao, a tall and powerful striker who likes to play on the last man and has superb eye for goal in the penalty area.
The move for Damiao is unrelated to Adebayor's apparent change of heart in coming out of retirement to play in the African Cup of Nations in South Africa.
The Togolese striker has twice quite the national team but has now decided to play in the tournament, with the decision still to be officially confirmed before the deadline on Wednesday.
In any case, Spurs feel they need a striker to add to Jermain Defoe and Adebayor, who has scored just two Premier League goals this term.
The Togolese striker is understood to have a difficult relationship with Villas-Boas, having held two sets of crisis talks about his role in the team with his coach earlier in the season.
Meanwhile, Spurs are not interested in joining the race for highly rated Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha, who is a target for Manchester United and Arsenal.
Zaha has been heavily linked with a move away from Selhurst Park but the Championship club are deterring bidders by demanding £15m (€18m) for the teenager.

Quote: The Robertsons are back and they've never had so much Southern charm. It's a family affair as everyone comes together to throw a surprise wedding party for Phil and Kay. And when the guys and their wives realize Martin is forgoing poker for a date, they all take turns coaching him in romance. Meanwhile, Phil tries to teach his granddaughters how to fish, but the girls outsmart him and have him doing all the work. Later, he and Kay teach Sadie and John Luke how to make May Haw jelly. And as always, the guys' antics continue as they attempt to make duck jerky, and a series of 'gentlemen's bets' leads them to the ultimate challenge of helping Phil get a wheelbarrow down from a tree.
Quote: Keep the camo-clad Robertsons in your sights at all times with the Duck Dynasty: Seasons 1-3: Collector's Set from A&E®. See what happens when Willie hosts his own radio show, but makes the mistake of bringing Uncle Si on the air with him. Watch how Willie's unexpected employee retreat fails to build trust among the Duck Commander team. Catch Jase's plans to prevent Missy from finding out he's lost his second, newly replaced wedding ring. But the Robertsons never back down from a challenge, always taking on new adventures. Whether it's a family cooking, fishing or football competition, a blind leap into wine making or their run-ins with critters of all kinds – this clan makes the most of their funny business!

A few days I switched back to Windows Phone 7.5 as my main smartphone operating system. Why? Well, because I can. I like to change things up every now and then, and blessed as I am with an iPhone 3GS (currently pulling duty at my best friend as her portable gaming device), Galaxy SII with CM9, and an HTC HD7, I have the luxury of doing so. Now that I'm back in the neat, tidy, and straight-lined arms of Windows Phone 7 - three long-standing issues really break the illusion, which all come from one source: the networking stack.

The sexy video that reportedly shows "Grey's Anatomy" hunk Eric Dane and actress wife Rebecca Gayheart in a threesome with former Miss Teen USA Keri Ann Peniche "was all done in good fun," the former beauty queen's manager, David Weintraub, told Usmagazine.com.
"This is not a sex tape," he told the magazine. "It's guys having fun, hanging out together. There is no sex involved in this."
Weintraub said the three have been "friends" for "many years."
A lawyer for the Hollywood couple claims the 12-minute video is "not a sex tape," but fans can't seem to get enough of the clip that supposedly shows Dane, Gayheart and former teen beauty queen Kari Ann Peniche naked.
The trio is filmed in the buff while lounging in Peniche's apartment, claiming to be high as they relax in the stunner's Jacuzzi and discuss what their porn names would be, the blog Defamer.com first reported.
"My dog growing up was called Cocaine, and I lived on Manor Drive, so I'm Cocaine Manor," Dane, 36, says in the video. Gayheart is seen topless, saying how she needs to lie down because she's so high.
A lawyer for Gayheart and Dane told TMZ he'll sue anyone who publishes the video -- and that it is a "private, confidential tape."
"From what I've seen it's a naked tape, not a sex tape." Singer said. "At most, it's 3 people maybe wanting to have sex."
"This is simply a private, consensual moment involving a married couple, shot several years ago, which was never intended to be seen by the public."
Peniche also spoke to TMZ, saying she has "no idea" how the tape got leaked.
"I had nothing to do with it," she said.
Gayheart, 38, and Dane, 36, married in 2004 and have said they're ready to start a family.
Peniche, 25, has a past with public sexuality -- she was stripped of her Miss Teen USA crown for posing in Playboy. She was thrown off of "Dr. Drew's Celebrity Rehab" for allegedly stealing from her on-screen roommate, country artist Mindy McCready.

David Jay wrote:Urban Profile: David Jay, Asexual – Sexless and Satisfied
"For sexual folks, when things get more energetic and frantic like it does with back touching and scratching, it is moving towards sex. However in the asexual world, because there is no sex, when things get more energetic, it isn't really moving anywhere and isn't culminating in a sexual act. So if you don't pay attention, the cuddling can go on for six hours and you don't get any sleep. There is no natural conclusion point."
That is the like the asexual equivalent of the boasting sexual male who pretends he can have sex for six hours or all night long. What kind of toxic unrealistic person thinks cuddling for six hours is:
1) Realistic.
2) Desirable.
3) Not emotionally and physically smothering the other party and leading to premature relationship burnout due to lack of personal space? It is like a candle, you can make it burn brighter, but the wick and wax will expire quicker also.
On a related note I found the exact same sentiment in a documentary about older involuntary virgins. Here is what Allen a 49 year old virgin said @26:43:
Allen wrote:Youtube documentary: Desperate Virgins(UK)
Holding her in my arms. And that is the moment that I realized a women's body was warm. It sounds silly, but I didn't know that before then. Because I never had a cuddle before. ... And that was fantastic. ... It was weird because I didn't want to be sexual with her. I wanted to carry on cuddling. I just wanted to hold her in my arms forever. ... It was so beautiful.
The sentiment is eerily similar. The context is that Allen was describing earlier how at age 20 he had his first semi-sexual encounter with a girl at a party. She closed the door, pushed him against the wall and kissed him. That kiss gave him glandular fever which left him partially paralyzed from the waist down. He tried utilizing prostitutes 8 times to lose his virginity, but couldn't get an erection no matter what and couldn't have sex because he was a nervous wreck. On his own he could masturbate though.
I just thought I would share this because saying you want to do anything with another person for 6 hours is very creepy and unrealistic and how it matches up with Allen who HAD a better case for asexuality than the majority of internet self diagnosed asexuals. For David Jay there is no excuse for his unrealistic perspective except that his perspective on everything seems to lack any grounding in reality, but for Allen I have alot of sympathy since he got a really raw deal getting a sexually transmitted disease that led to being partially disabled merely on his first kiss! The fact that he is emotionally clammed up, traumatized and awkward around women is totally understandable and that he would want to hold onto his first pleasant experience even though nothing lasts forever.
To me making such claims from a self proclaimed leader and media whore like David Jay makes asexuals look like unrealistic, emotionally undeveloped clowns who watch too many Hollywood romances, read too many romance novels and consume other forms of highly unrealistic escapism and combined with a lack of judgement and life experience make it seem realistic to have such fantasies of cuddling all night because it happens in pulp romance novels and sappy movies. I saw such sentiment or jokes from AVENites from time to time but to me it just seemed creepy and too much like neckbeard things.
How do others feel about the overbearing, smothering cuddle brigade and their bombastic claims?

In the hours before schoolboy Henry Lin was brutally murdered in his Sydney home, he was chatting online to a friend about badminton, a court has heard.
The 12-year-old - along with nine-year-old brother Terry, parents Min Lin, 45 and Lily, 44, and aunt Irene, 39 - were killed in their Epping home in Sydney's northwest in July 2009.
The crown says Henry's uncle Lian Bin "Robert" Xie carried out the killings in the early hours of July 18, 2009.
The family's time of death, however, remains in dispute.
On Tuesday, Xie's trial heard from a former schoolgirl who regularly chatted with Henry online about his obsession with badminton and his dreams to one day represent Australia in the sport.
She said that on July 17, just before 6pm, Henry told her he was going to his grandparents' home for the regular family Friday night dinner.
By 6.03pm, his online status noted he was "away".
Then at 10.23pm, the girl said she again chatted with Henry, this time about a badminton game on YouTube before telling him she was going to bed about 11.26pm.
"You said, 'Good night', and he said, 'Bye ... good night'?" crown prosecutor Mark Tedeschi QC asked.
"Yes," the girl replied.
The crown has previously told the court Henry and his brother Terry put up a "furious" struggle when they were beaten with a "hammer-like object" and asphyxiated in the bedroom they shared.
Henry is thought to have survived for up to 30 minutes after the attack, while Terry lived for up to two hours.
While the crown says Xie was "motivated by bitterness" to carry out the killings, the defence say he is innocent and more than one person committed the murders.
Xie's barrister, Graham Turnbull SC, on Tuesday finished his opening address to the Supreme Court jury, in which he attacked the credibility of a key aspect of the crown case - the evidence of prison informer "Witness A".
The crown says that after Xie was charged with the murders in 2010 and taken to Long Bay prison, he befriended the inmate and made a number of "concessions", including that he bought a hammer from a two-dollar store.
Mr Turnbull said Witness A was a practised informer and ruthless criminal who saw Xie as an opportunity to reduce his own jail time.
None of the conversations regarding buying a hammer, the sedation of his wife or his alleged motivation, was recorded.
"At the end of the day, the police case, it will be submitted ... was being run by Witness A. He fills in the gaps."
The trial continues.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has raised the possibility of record signing Dimitar Berbatov returning to Tottenham.
Berbatov has no future at Old Trafford and, after a day of speculation, it was thought the Bulgarian had settled on a move to Fulham. Cottagers boss Martin Jol spoke optimistically about the transfer on Thursday but Ferguson insists no deal has been completed.
"I do not know what has happened," the Scot said. "He has not gone yet. I do not know anything about it. There's not been any contact from him. We thought he was in Italy but it turned out he isn't. He could be anywhere. I really mean that. I wouldn't be surprised if he was at Tottenham. There are rumours going around. I do not think it is settled at Fulham."

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a hole between the left and right atria (upper chambers) of the heart. This hole exists in everyone before birth, but usually closes shortly after being born. PFO is what the hole is called when it fails to close naturally after a baby is born.
Alternative Names
A foramen ovale allows blood togo aroundthe lungs. A babys lungs are not used when it grows in the womb, so the hole does not cause problems in an unborn infant.
The opening is supposed to close soon after birth, but sometimes it does not. In about 1 out of 4 people, the opening never closes. If it does not close, it is called a patent foramen ovale (PFO).
The cause of a PFO is unknown. There are no known risk factors.
Infants with a patent foramen ovale and no other heart defects do not have symptoms.
Exams and Tests
An echocardiogram can be done to diagnose a PFO. If the PFO is not easily seen, a cardiologist can perform a "bubble test." Saline solution (salt water) is injected into the body as the cardiologist watches the heart on an ultrasound (echocardiogram) monitor. If a PFO exists, tiny air bubbles will be seen moving from the right to left side of the heart.
This condition is not treated unless there are other heart problems, or the person had a stroke caused by a blood clot to the brain.
Treatment usually requires a procedure called cardiac cathertization, which is performedby a trained cardiologist to permanently seal the PFO.
Outlook (Prognosis)
An infant who has no other heart defects will have normal health.
Possible Complications
Unless there are other defects, there are usually no complications from a PFO.
Very rarely, people with PFOs may have a higher rate of a certain type of stroke (called paradoxical thromboembolic stroke). In a paradoxical stroke, a blood clot that develops in a vein (often leg veins) breaks free and travels to the right side of the heart. Normally, this clot would then continue to the lungs, but in someone with a PFO, the clot could pass through the hole to the left side of the heart. It may then be pumped out to the body, travel to the brain and become stuck there, preventing blood flow to that part of the brain (stroke).
Some patients may take medication to prevent blood clots.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if your baby turns blue when crying or having a bowel movement. Usually, this disorder is only discovered when a cardiologist performs an echocardiogram (ultrasound of the heart) for an unrelatedheart murmur.

LONDON—Out in the small Italian town of Gemona, among many places around the world, the arrest of Oscar Pistorius on murder charges was hard to believe.
It was on a new track in the northeastern corner of Italy that the double-amputee from South Africa trained last year for his Olympic debut, running lap after lap on his Cheetah Flex-Foot blades in preparation for his trip to the world's biggest sporting event.
On Thursday, shortly after Pistorius was charged in South Africa with the shooting death of his girlfriend, model Reeva Steenkamp, the mayor of Gemona said it was tough to take.
"The news shocked not only me personally, but also the whole of Gemona and the region. It's come as a huge shock to everyone who knew him," Mayor Paolo Urbani told The Associated Press. "I have to say Oscar was an exceptional testimonial for our project, helping the city take forward its sporting plans. He's a delightful person; not only as a sportsman, but also how he is as a human being. The news is still very fragmentary, and we're waiting to hear more, to find out exactly what happened."
Pistorius fought for years to be able to compete against able-bodied athletes after many said his carbon-fiber blades gave him an unfair advantage. He finally won his case in 2008, but failed to run the qualifying time for the Beijing Olympics.
He did, however, make South Africa's team for last year's London Olympics, reaching the semifinals in the 400-metre dash and then running for South Africa's 4x400 relay team in the final.
The International Olympic Committee and International Paralympic Committee each had little to say about the case.
"This is not the moment for the IOC to be commenting on this tragic incident. Our thoughts are with the families affected and we send them our deepest sympathies," the IOC said in a statement.
The IPC said it was "police matter."
"Therefore it would be inappropriate for the IPC to comment on this incident until the official police process has concluded," the IPC said in a statement on its website. "The IPC would like to offer its deepest sympathy and condolences to all families involved in this case."
The South African Olympic committee released a statement saying it had been "inundated" with requests for comment, but was not in a position to give out any details of the shooting.
"SASCOC, like the rest of the public, knows no more than what is in the public domain," the group said. "The organization is in no position to comment on the incident other than to say our deepest sympathy and condolences have been expressed to the families of all concerned."
Pistorius' father, Henke, declined to comment when contacted by the AP, saying only "we all pray for guidance and strength for Oscar and the lady's parents."
Agent Peet van Zyl and coach Ampie Louw couldn't be reached, while Pistorius' own cellphone went straight to voicemail.
Former 100-meter dash world record-holder Asafa Powell tweeted about Steenkamp's death.
"Sad news about @oscarpistorius & fatal shooting of his girlfriend he's a true inspiration & amazing athlete. A real tragedy for all," Powell wrote.
Pistorius became an inspiration to many by overcoming his disability to compete at the highest level. Born without fibula bones due to a congenital defect, he had his legs amputated at 11 months. But he still played sports, including rugby.
"It's incredible for anyone involved with Oscar, especially his family," Former Italian pole vaulter Andrea Giannini, who coached Pistorius from 2009-11, told the AP. "I knew Oscar well. I'm hoping it was just a tragic accident. He's a marvellous person, a really sweet and calm guy. It seemed like this was a calm time for him. He seemed really happy and well-balanced."

Valve's upcoming collection of Half-Life games, cleverly marketed as The Orange Box and The Black Box, share some things in common. Both packages will contain the highly anticipated sequel to the classic Team Fortress, a game we're absolutely dying to play. Both will also contain Portal, a unique take on puzzling in a three-dimensional space. Yesterday, EA held an event before the Game Developers Conference highlighting upcoming games by its high profile developer partners, and there we were able to get our hands on Portal. During our brief demonstration we had the chance to get a feel for how it plays and see exactly what the game is all about. While we were initially apprehensive about the prospect of jumping through player-created doorways ad infinitum, we found there was more to the game than meets the eye.
Tripping on a Hole in an Orange Box
After getting our hands on it, Portal felt like a puzzle game in the traditional sense, one in which the challenge lies in getting your character from point A to point B and dealing with obstacles and terrain as cleverly as possible. Your most important tool in dealing with this objective is a gravity gun that can create portals on non-metallic surfaces. These portals can be opened in order to force objects to travel where you desire them to, or to translocate your character to an otherwise inaccessible location. The obstacles impeding your path can range from deep pits and widely spaced platforms to rooms with metallic surfaces, requiring you to find appropriate targets for your portal gun or perhaps a pressure plate that can be triggered by an object snagged by your gravity beam.
While Portal is being shown as a compelling and worthy game experience, it's hard not to take in the strength of the engine and judge it purely from a technical perspective. These aren't tricks you haven't witnessed before. In fact, much of what Portal does has already been seen in the innovative gameplay elements of last year's Prey. On the other hand, instead of slapping together a convoluted storyline and trying to work in clever gameplay mechanics like wall-walking, shifting gravity, and translocation through the opening of player-created portals, Portal is focusing on the gameplay options that are made possible by these movement possibilities.
Portal is essentially laid out as a framework within which players will have to master all of the tools available to them in order to proceed to the next series of mind-bending challenges. Imagine, if you will, a platforming stage where instead of leaping from platform to platform, you'll send yourself falling through the floor of one area only to drop through the ceiling over the next platform. Distances will be traversed through spatial leaps that cross neither the X, Y, or Z axis. The question is whether this will be accepted as "fun" by the general populace. While it may be too early to see whether this will be the case, the game definitely has "interesting" locked down.
From what we were told during our demonstration, Portal will not be laid out as a collection of puzzle levels, and will instead progress in a linear fashion, taking the player through initial training sessions, so to speak, in order to get their feet wet, eventually leading to tougher and tougher challenges. Instead of simply progressing, some areas will introduce another factor into the challenge, such as a time limit or a limited number of portal openings. Xbox 360 owners will have their achievements doled out in this manner. Some of the challenges should undoubtedly be sadistic.
It's easy to witness the gravity-defying tricks of Portal and make a comparison to the paintings of M.C. Escher. What other game ever made you think long and hard on the ramifications of perpetually falling through infinite portals, and what it could mean for level design? If aiming for headshots is your primary motivation to play games, then Portal may not be for you. On the other hand, if being turned upside down with regularity sounds like fun, (perhaps you've recently read Ender's Game) or you enjoy being given more to think about than just where to point and shoot, then Portal may well be the most pleasant surprise packed into your Halloween-colored package later this year. Stay tuned for more on Portal and the rest of the offerings from Valve as we try and get our hands on those Orange and Black boxes.

CINCINNATI, Ohio (Dec. 16, 2007) - The ETSU women's basketball team outscored Xavier (41-40) in the final 20 minutes, but it was not enough to carry ETSU over Xavier as the Musketeers downed the Lady Bucs, 76-67, Sunday afternoon inside Cintas Center.

A formal grievance alleging violent behavior by Crestview High School assistant football coach Blake Moore was filed Monday with the Okaloosa County School District.
CRESTVIEW � A formal grievance alleging violent behavior by Crestview High School assistant football coach Blake Moore was filed Monday with the Okaloosa County School District.
Moore, who began coaching at Crestview in April 2011, was reportedly physical with three athletes during an off-season football workout on June 19. The grievance was filed by Mike Dean, who alleged Moore choked his son until he turned purple.
The report says players were performing bear crawls (essentially running on all fours) up and down the bleachers. Moore, who is heading into his second year as a teacher at the school, reportedly slapped a player in the ribs to correct his form. Dean�s son, in an effort to get Moore to ease up on his teammate, jokingly bumped Moore, the report said. Moore grabbed him and the player pushed off.
Moore, who is 27 years-old with a bodybuilder�s physique, took the player to the ground, got on top of him and reportedly choked him.
According to the report, other players could not get Moore off Dean�s son, but he eventually let go once a player stole his hat. Once off the one player, Moore allegedly put another player�s face to the concrete because the player told him to get off of Dean�s son.
Moore declined comment on the situation due to the fact that it is an ongoing investigation. He referred comment to Crestview Principal Bob Jones.
�I asked Coach Moore and he said he did not choke the player,� Jones said.
Prior to the formal grievance, Jones and the administration at Crestview performed an informal inquiry into the matter. Okaloosa County School District Program Director of Equity Arden Farley assisted in the inquiry.
Deputy Superintendent of Schools Rodney Nobles said the inquiry concluded Moore did lay hands on a player.
�The coach said he did put the kid on the ground,� Nobles said. �There was no doubt that that happened.
�Any time an adult gets that aggressive with a student, the adult is going to be in the wrong.�
The informal inquiry was apparently conducted well before the formal grievance was filed. But when contacted last week by the Daily News, officials at both the school and district levels seemed confused as to where responsibility for the inquiry lay.
Nobles said that the district personnel department was handling the inquiry. Later he said the school was handling it internally.
Jones said the school was handling it and Farley said the school handled the investigation and passed it on to the district level.
Farley later said the inquiry had not made it to the district level because he was under the impression that both the parents and the school were pleased with the outcome of the informal investigation.
Jones, Assistant Principal Dexter Day and football coach and athletic director Kevin Pettis said the Deans led them to believe the inci-dent was behind them.
�I even asked the parent point blank, �What do you want done?� Pettis said. �Do you want me to fire coach because of it? And the parents said �absolutely not.� �
In wake of the informal inquiry, Jones said Moore was �counseled� and �disciplined verbally� for the incident. Nothing about it was to go on his permanent record.
Jones said the entire Crestview coaching staff was reminded of the proper way to handle players.
Dean filed the grievance 41 days after the incident took place, just inside the 45-day window for a third party to file a grievance. Farley will have 20 calendar days to investigate.
The allegations against Moore coincide with a letter written by former Crestview defensive coordinator Keith White.
White, who was also the head boys� basketball coach at Crestview, recently resigned and took a job at Walton High School. In his emailed resignation letter to Jones on July 20, White expressed concern about how coaches were handling players on the football field.
�I don�t think that kids should be snatched around, degraded by use of words, or touched in any manner that is not right and that is going on,� said White in the email.
To close his letter, White pleaded with Jones: �I just want you to know as our real leader that things are not right around here and I hope you are able to fix them before your time is done. � You are the real man in charge so let�s just look out for the kids.�
Mike Culligan, the father of the player Moore was correcting with an alleged blow to the ribs, had heard the coach was physical with his son, which included �either a slap or a punch and something to the tune of you�re not doing it good enough.�
Culligan, who spoke with Farley soon after the incident involving his son, voiced concern over the fact that he received phone calls from other concerned parents asking if it was his son who was choked, because they knew the boy had been physically and verbally harassed in the past.
�On whether he was getting abused, a parent called with that,� Culligan said. �They called and said, �Was it your son that was getting choked? He gets it pretty bad.�
�They�re all willing to turn a blind eye for the possibility of a winning season.�

NEW LONDON, Conn.--(9/17/11)--Sophomore Phil Bigelow carried 21 times for 158 yards and two touchdowns while senior quarterback Anthony Carnevale came off the bench and threw three touchdown passes leading Curry to a 44-21 win over Coast Guard in a non-divisional game between the two New England Football Conference (NEFC) schools.

Curry junior Bruce Vieira's two-yard run with 7:27 left made the score 37-7 before the Bears answered with a six-yard touchdown run by sophomore Tyler Hames with 42 seconds left in the third quarter making the score 37-14 heading to the fourth quarter.
Bigelow scored from one-yard out before Coast Guard freshman Jake Wawrzyniak scored his first career touchdown on a two-yard run with 59 seconds left to close the scoring.
Carnevale finished 11 of 18 for 139 yards and the three touchdowns while senior Mark Gilson, who started, was 12 of 17 for 180 yards.

Owens was 12 of 19 for 115 yards with a touchdown pass while junior Jon Resch was 9 of 15 for 82 yards. Owens also led the Bears with 13 carries for 43 rushing yards.
Curry improves to 2-1 on the season while the Bears drop to 0-2 on the year. Both teams open NEFC divisional play next week as the Colonels travel to MIT on Saturday at 1:00 for the Boyd Division opener and Coast Guard hosts Mass. Maritime on Homecoming in the Bogan Division opener at 1:30.

BBC 2012 Third Reith Lecture: The Rule of Law
January 9, 2013
John Curran
In Naill Ferguson`s third Reith Lecture the Professor focuses on the evolving nature of Anglo-American common law a comparative exercise allowing him to refer to alternative legal jurisdictions, most notably China where no separation of power or independent judiciary exists. In the West argues Ferguson the rule of law has degenerated into the rule of lawyer`s, especially in the USA, which was once the gold standard other legal jurisdictions measured themselves by the "United States was the rule of law" according to Professor Ferguson.The halcyon days Ferguson identifies are difficult to reconcile with America`s constitutional arrangement built on the premise that African-Americans were three-fifths human, the so called compromise of 1787. Jefferson author of the `Declaration of Independence` was also a slave owner and as Malcolm X quipped "we didn't land on Plymouth Rock, Plymouth Rock landed on us". Indeed, women were also denied the vote prompting the Seneca Falls Convention 1848 to campaign for democratic rights a goal not achieved until 1920 a measure excluding African-American women living in the Deep South.

As a result of a Congressional mandate passed in 2005 and expanded in 2007, over 40 percent of this year's greatly depleted corn crop will be diverted from food and livestock, and instead be sold at the gas pump. We are trading our precious, fertile acres of farmland for a small dent in our oil usage. We are prioritizing our goal to reduce oil dependence over providing food to people.
As drought continues to affect most of the country, our thoughts and prayers are with the thousands of farm families who have been affected by this disaster. Today, USDA's focus remains on doing all we can to support farm and ranch families in an uncertain time.
While the crops and livestock of America's farmers and ranchers are suffering, the U.S. will continue to have the safest, most affordable, most reliable food supply that the world has ever known because of our agriculture safety net.
The drought has been awful for farmers, but it could reap a bumper crop of good news for the seed business. With much of this year's corn harvest expected to be a disaster, analysts expect farmers to double down on seed purchases next year to get back on their feet.
Back home in Kansas we are spending our time looking up to the sky, praying and hoping for rain. Our state, along with much of the country, is suffering from a very serious drought. Crops are dying, cattle are hungry and being sold off, and water is in scarce supply.
While the federal government is spending more on meat and fish, a relief package and a massive farm bill are still mired in Congress and unlikely to move before the presidential election.
Action in Washington, combined with the ongoing efforts by our agricultural experts to mitigate the effects of this drought will ensure that agriculture remains a strong pillar of the U.S. economy that provides good jobs and feeds the world.
While wreaking havoc on grain crops, the worst U.S. drought in a half century is providing opportunities for companies that provide and pump the most precious of commodities — water. While the drought is testing farmers and food producers, the volatility in weather patterns is giving water companies new revenue sources, as they provide solutions to the environmental challenges.
In Illinois, we've experienced the sixth-driest growing season on record. Of 102 counties, 100 are disaster areas, the state's governor addresses the issue of what's been done and what still needs to happen to help his state.
The latest numbers from the USDA firm up the outlook for this year's corn crop, and the final numbers may not be as bad as some feared.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (May 21, 2009) - Eventually all good things must come to an end, unfortunately for the ETSU community and Buccaneer fans alike men's tennis senior Enrique Olivares (Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela) remarkable four-year career did just that Thursday as the No. 18-ranked captain fell to ninth-ranked Steven Moneke of Ohio State, 6-3, 6-3, during second-round play of the 2009 NCAA Singles Championship at the George Mitchell Tennis Center in College Station, Texas.
"(Steven) Moneke is a great player for
After both players held serve early, Moneke took control of a quick paced first set winning the first frame 6-3. Olivares bounced back early in set two matching the Buckeye senior through the first four games. However, just like the first set the two-time Big Ten First-Team member gained momentum with back-to-back games, cruising to the win with an identical 6-3 second set victory.
Overall, Olivares closes out his career as not just one of the top men's tennis players in program history, but as one of the most decorated student-athletes in the history of intercollegiate athletics at ETSU.
The second winningest player in school history wraps up his career with a remarkable 115 wins, including posting an Atlantic Sun Conference record-setting mark of 32-1(.969 winning percentage). A four-time A-Sun First-Team member and two-time A-Sun Player of the Year, became the highest ranked ITA preseason player in school and league history this past spring. A 2008 ITA All-American and three-time A-Sun Tournament MVP, led the Bucs to four straight A-Sun regular season titles and three consecutive NCAA tournament births.
A mainstay in the national rankings since arriving in the Tri-Cites, Olivares holds 14 career wins against nationally ITA ranked players and has been at his best in a number of national tournaments which include the 2008 Southern Intercollegiate, ITA National Indoors and ITA All-American Intercollegiate.
"Enrique is the greatest player I've ever seen since I've been here at ETSU," said Zaatini. "He's not just the type of player you want on you're team leading players in practice and studying the game, but he's also the type of gentleman off the court that everyone in the ETSU community can be proud of. All his accomplishments have been paid for with hours of hard work and practice and the thing is that's just how he is as a person."
Olivares graduated this past May with a 3.44 grade point average in the B.B.A. honors program with an concentration in Corporate Finance and Investments. The 2007-08 ETSU Student-Athlete of the Year was a three-time A-Sun All-Academic Team member.
"Off the court Enrique is a genius in making himself the type of player and student-athlete he has became into today and would be the first to say that individual awards was never his goal over team accomplishments. Words are hard to describe what he means to me and our program and I hate that his prestigious career has ended today," Zaatini said. "There are so many people, including his teammates who you see wanting to be like Enrique. What a fine example of leadership and a student-athlete he's become to represent ETSU nationwide in the tennis circuit both on and off the court. His character, integrity and drive to make ETSU the best it could be will be missed."

Judge Claire V. Eagan
September 2012: Median Prison Sentence
District Court - Oklahoma North
Lead Charge: 18 USC 922 - Firearms; Unlawful acts
Program Area: Weapons
For all cases disposed of in the current fiscal year (2012) that were credited to Judge Claire V. Eagan in the Northern District of Oklahoma, the median prison sentence was 36.5 months, when looking only at cases with a lead charge of "18 USC 922 - Firearms; Unlawful acts" falling under the broad category of "Weapons". This number is 13.1% lower than the median prison sentence for all the Northern District of Oklahoma matters disposed in the same period. At the same time, the judge's median prison sentence was 20.7% lower than the typical 2012 sentence for the nation as a whole. During the current fiscal year, Judge Claire V. Eagan has sentenced 12 defendants compared with 14 defendants during the twelve months of the previous fiscal year.
Focusing on a five-year period, the median prison sentence imposed on defendants that were credited to Judge Eagan was 34.0 months. This was 8.1% lower than the 37.0 months typical in Oklahoma North and 26.1% lower than the 46.0 months median prison sentence for the nation. Judge Claire V. Eagan sentenced 57 defendants during the past five years.
(CAUTION: The kinds of cases handled by individual judges influences statistical information about their sentences. It therefore is important to consider the breakdown of cases that each has handled, available below, when making judge-by-judge comparisons.)
Figure 1 compares Judge Eagan's numbers to those for judges in this district and in the United States as a whole for cases of this type over the last five years.
During the last five years there were 3 other judges in the Northern District of Oklahoma with information on convictions during that period. Median prison sentence numbers passed down for those judges ranged from 34.0 months to 48.0 months, putting Judge Eagan's median prison sentence of 34.0 months at the lowest end of the range. The median prison sentence for the whole Northern District of Oklahoma during that time was 37.0 months.

Clemson student from Deep River killed in home invasion
It's the nightmare of every parent of a college student.
Steven Grich, who grew up in Deep River, overcame a disability to go to Clemson University only to be shot to death during a home invasion Saturday.
"It's not something we thought could every happen to him," agreed his mother, Lynn Grich, her voice quivering with emotion. "He had such plans, dreams."
Grich, 23, a junior engineering major at the South Carolina university, was shot to death when four masked men burst into his off-campus home, according to the Pickens County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff's investigators arrested 19-year-old Jordan Daltonl; 24-year-old Jaron Dalton, and 19-year-old Bernard Ramsey on charges of murder, armed robbery, first-degree burglary and weapons possession. They issued warrants for the arrest of Lester Mosley, 18, on the same charges.
Grich, his 29-year-old roommate, Robert McKinley, and four others were inside the home when three men entered through an unlocked back door, authorities said. Deputies charged McKinley with simple possession of marijuana after deputies searching the home found the drugs.
Grich graduated from Valley Regional High School in Deep River despite suffering from attention deficit disorder.
"He really struggled to get through high school, but he overcame his disability because he was determined to make something of himself," said his mother.
After high school he enrolled in the New England Technical College in Rhode Island where he made the dean's list for two years. After his parents had moved to South Carolina Grich decided to enroll at Clemson. "He just thrived there," said his mother.
She said he spent his downtime making electronic music and had posted seven songs on the Internet.
Lynn Grich said her son's former classmates in Deep River are planning a candlelight vigil in his honor.
"It just continues to amaze me how many friends Steven had," she added.

Ars Technica introduces Steam Gauge, where they go all grognard on the topic of game sales on Valve's service based on publically available data. It's very lengthy and detailed, and draws some interesting conclusions about the most owned games on the service (Dota 2 is number one), most played games on Steam (ditto), and more. Perhaps the most interesting statistic they present is "that about 37 percent of the roughly 781 million games registered to various Steam accounts haven't even been loaded a single time.

ECS A85F2-A Golden Review
ECS A85F2-A Golden Testing:
3DMark11 is the next installment for Futuremark in the 3DMark series, with Vantage as its predecessor. 3DMark11 was designed solely for DirectX 11, so Windows Vista or 7 are required alongside a DirectX 11 graphics card in order to run this test. The Basic Edition gives unlimited free tests on performance mode, whereas Vantage only allows for a single test run. The Advanced Edition costs $19.95 and unlocks nearly all features of the benchmark, while the Professional Edition runs for $995.00 and is mainly suited for corporate use. The new benchmark contains six tests, four of which are aimed only at graphical testing – one that tests physics handling and one that combines graphics and physics testing together. The open source Bullet Physics Library is used for physics simulations and although not as mainstream as Havok or PhysX, it still remains a popular choice.
The new benchmark comes with two new demos that can be watched; both of which are based on the tests, but unlike the tests, contain basic audio. The first demo is titled "Deep Sea" and involves a number of vessels exploring what looks to be a sunken U-Boat. The second demo is titled "High Temple" and displays a location similar to South American tribal ruins, with statues and the occasional vehicle. The demos are simple in that they have no story, but really demonstrate testing conditions. The vehicles have the logos of the sponsors, MSI and Antec, on the sides, helping to make the Basic Edition free. The four graphics tests are slight variants of the demos. I will use the three benchmark test preset levels to find the performance of each card. The presets are used because they are comparable to what can be run with the free version, so results can be compared across more than just a custom set of test parameters.
- Default test settings
- Entry test: 1024 x 600
- Performance test: 1280 x 720
- Extreme test: 1920 x 1080
DiRT 3 is the third iteration of this series. Published and developed by Codemasters, this game uses the EGO 2.0 game engine and was released in the US on PC in May of 2011.
- 8x MSAA
- Ultra Settings
Battlefield 3 is a first-person shooter video game developed by EA Digital Illusions CE and published by Electronic Arts. Battlefield 3 uses the Frostbite 2 game engine and is the direct successor to Battlefield 2. Released in North America on October 25, 2011, the game supports DirectX 10 and 11.
- Game settings = Ultra
In each of these gaming tests the ECS A85F2-Golden delivers comparable performance with the same installed hardware. Within a frame or margin of error, the ECS holds its own with the competition.

Nikonos IV Problem
Posted 25 September 2010 - 05:07 PM
I've contacted Backscatter in Monterey (no answer yet) but if there's something I can do while I wait, might as well.
Posted 25 September 2010 - 08:30 PM
Someone gave me this camera, and I was fiddling with it, clicking the shutter and working the advance lever (no film) when it just quit working. the lever won't go, the button does nothing. I have no idea what happened, it didn't take a bump or anything like that, it just...stopped. Does anybody have any idea why and how to correct it?
I've contacted Backscatter in Monterey (no answer yet) but if there's something I can do while I wait, might as well.
Great camera, but they were prone to salt build up around the shutter advance shaft. Likely, that is the cause of the problem. At one time it was recommended that you keep the camera immersed in fresh water when not being used. Once the salt build up is cleaned, make sure the orings are OK. Nikon repair cleaned a friends Nikonos IV and it flooded on the first dive. Good luck!

Could be. In the meantime, if someone has a couple of parts for one that they don't want, let me know. I need the cover for the strobe connection port, and the battery cover since this one is stripped and doesn't screw in properly.

With all the negative comments about the old VIa, I am truly amazed that I could take so many "keepers" with such a horrible camera.
Nikonos III and Nikonos V were great workhorse cameras. The IV was one of Nikon's worst embarrassments.
