DENVER (AP) Colton Iverson had 16 points and 13 rebounds, leading Colorado State past cold-shooting Denver 60-53 Wednesday night.
Iverson, a 6-foot-10 transfer from Minnesota, was 6 for 11 from the field against the smaller Denver team.
Dorian Green added 16 points and Wes Eikmeier had 13 for the Rams (3-0), who outrebounded the Pioneers 47-33.
Chase Hallam scored 19 points and Royce O'Neale had 16 for Denver (1-3), which shot 30 percent from the field and was 5 for 29 on 3-pointers.
Denver is 2-17 in its last 19 games with the Rams.
The Pioneers trailed 54-41 with 2:15 remaining after Green hit a pull-up jumper for Colorado State. Denver used a 10-2 run to pull within 56-51 on a basket by Chris Udofia with 26 seconds left. O'Neale, who was 5 for 16 and 1 of 7 on 3-pointers, missed the game's last two shots.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb Lady Bisons soccer team is back in action for their spring season after they executed an outstanding 1-0 win over Tennessee and a 2-0 win over Western Carolina University.
"It's always great to get back to playing outside competition, especially when the competition is against strong opponents," said Head Coach Kevin O'Brien. "To get two wins was rewarding, exciting, and fully deserved."
The competition against UT was a particularly special challenge for O'Brien since UT was the first game the Lady Bisons ever played under O'Brien's tutelage.
"We are thrilled that we are closing the competitive gap between us and the top Division I programs in the country," said O'Brien.
O'Brien feels that the spring season is not solely based on improving results in future games.
"Our coaching philosophy is that the spring season is about player and team development far more than it is about results," said O'Brien. "Even though there were a lot of positives to come out of this past weekend, we still have a lot of improving to do. So we'll keep pushing the players technical and tactical development until the semester is over."
Lady Bison Soccer Spring Schedule
3/7/14 @Samford University 7 p.m.

From OLPC
Traditionally, Smalltalk has been described as a pure Object-Oriented programming language, created at Xerox PARC by Alan Kay, Dan Ingalls, Ted Kaehler, and Adele Goldberg. Starting with Smalltalk-71 and ending with the de-facto standard Smalltalk-80. Many other incarnations or versions have been produced since then like Smalltalk/V and Visual Smalltalk (Digitalk), Visual Age (IBM), Dolphin Smalltalk (Object Arts), VisualWorks (Cincom), and Squeak.
Technically, it has been noted that there is no object orientation in Smalltalk since everything is an object (so-called primitive types like integers, booleans, characters, etc. are all instances of a class); nor a language, but rather an environment of living objects.
Etoys is implemented in Squeak which is a Smalltalk.
You can do full Smalltalk development on XO. See the page that explain how to set up the environment. Smalltalk Development on XO

I'd like to get a small-ish modular that is somewhat different from my present big system.
The PAIA 9700 looks neat, has packed several "normal" modules into one so they don't take so much space. And they're quite cheap too, PAIA has a sale on a premade system now. Any of you guys have any experience with them? I'm thinking of a pre-built one, don't trust my soldering skills enough to order a parts set. Or my patience
Alot of punch in so little rack space. The VCO module has 2 vcos, the filter one has two filters, etc.

Apple ready to compensate parents for accidental child IAP purchases
Parents who've felt the pain of an unexpected Apple App Store bill after letting their most dearest loose with their iDevice are in luck.
A new scheme proposed by Apple will offer compensation to US mums and dads whose kids have cheekily spent real cash on in-app-purchases without their consent or knowledge.
The proposal will be considered later this week and, if passed, could lead to Apple compensating millions of American customers. Claimants will receive a minimum payment of $5 in App Store credit. Those receiving compensation of $30 or more can choose to receive cash instead.
Consumers who believe they have been affected will have 180 days to email Apple once the proposals have been approved.
The move comes as Apple finally acknowledges that it has not done enough in the past to protect people frim IAP errors.

The 20th century transformed architecture as a discipline, with radical new movements creating truly iconic buildings. In part, these groundbreaking developments were made possible by technological advances, but in many cases, it was the great minds of our time who produced the biggest tectonic shifts. Here we examine ten of the most successful architects whose influence remains strong in the 21st century.
The man widely considered to be the greatest American architect never formally studied architecture, but he did believe passionately in developing a home-grown style that reflected the natural landscapes and culture of the United States. Born in 1967, Lloyd Wright designed and built more than 500 iconic creations in his lifetime, including New York's celebrated Guggenheim Museum.
2. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
German-American architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's pared-back modernist aesthetic and elegant use of industrial materials exert an enormous influence on contemporary design. Famous creations such as the S.R. Crown Hall, Chicago, and Tugendhat House, Brno, reflect Mies' trademark style: Plate glass and open plan interiors contrast with structural steel decisively framing the space within.
3. Philip Johnson
Johnson's influence stems as much from his role as the founder of the Department of Architecture and Design at New York's Museum of Modern Art as from his own body of work. His innovative use of materials such as glass and crystal is exemplified in one of his most playful creations: the Crystal Cathedral, California.
4. Ieoh Ming Pei
Born in China in 1917, IM Pei moved to the US in his adolescence, and these dual national influences exert a strong influence on his designs. He gained wide recognition for his work on the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Library, Boston, a piece that exhibits his love of the ocean, stark geometric patterning and Asiatic aesthetic.
5. Frank Gehry
Meandering corrugated metal and wildly imaginative post-structuralist designs are the defining features of this controversial architect's vision. Gehry's work has become so well-known and admired that buildings such as the Walt Disney Concert Hall, LA, have become tourist attractions in their own right.
6. Renzo Piano
London's Shard, the tallest building in Europe, is perhaps the most recognisable building by this Pritzker-winning Italian architect. Its famous shattered-glass design is a masterclass in engineering, style and perspective.
7. Moshe Safdie
Israel-born Safdie studied under the tutelage of Louis Kahn before becoming famous for his futuristic Khalsa Heritage Memorial and his groundbreaking work on Expo 67, Canada's International and Universal Exposition.
8. Jean Nouvel
Nouvel's eco-friendly designs have transformed skylines and living standards across the globe. One of his most notable projects, Our Central Park, Sydney, saw him collaborate with botanist Patrick Blanc to cover approximately half a residential skyscraper with fresh foliage.
9. Zaha Hadid
One of Forbes' 'Most Powerful Women', Hadid is known for imaginative and daring projects such as Phaeno Science Centre and Guangzou Opera House, with designs plucked straight from science fiction.
10. Tom Wright
British architect Wright was born in 1957 and soared to fame with his Dubai skyscraper Burj Al Arab. The exclusive playground has the world's tallest atrium, rooftop tennis courts and a helicopter launching pad.
If you're interested in purchasing a contemporary home inspired by the groundbreaking work of these modern architects, contact Engel & Völkers today.

People Who Don't Vote
Why 50 million Americans wont vote Tuesday, in two charts
Posted by Brad Plumer
November 5, 2012 at 3:41 pm
Back in the 2008 election, 131 million Americans cast a ballot for president. Thats about two-thirds of eligible voters, which seems like a lot. Yet that still left more than 15 million people who were registered but didnt vote. An additional 30 million Americans werent even registered. Why is that?
Earlier this year, the Census Bureau released an in-depth analysis (pdf) of voters and non-voters in the 2008 election. As Gwen Sharp of Sociological Images pointed out here, the census included a helpful breakdown of reasons that people gave for not voting. Heres why 15 million Americans were registered but didnt vote:
Notice that apathy was a big reason roughly 4 million registered voters either werent interested or didnt like the candidates. But polling place access was a major factor, too. Nearly a million Americans had registration problems while 750,000 found the polling location either too inconvenient or had transportation problems. And some 2.6 million voters said they were too busy to vote.
Now lets look at the 30 million Americans who werent registered to vote in the first place in 2008. Their reasons:
Apathy plays a much larger role here some 15.5 million Americans didnt register in 2008 because they werent interested or they outright refused. An additional 1.2 million figured that their vote would not make a difference.
But it wasnt all apathy. Some 5.7 million Americans either didnt know how or where to register or missed the deadlines. An additional 3.6 million Americans werent eligible to vote, either because they didnt meet residency requirements or for other reasons (four states bar ex-felons from voting, for instance).
Over the years, experts have tried to come up with a number of proposals that might increase turnout. We could make Election Day a national holiday rather than holding it on a Tuesday. We could allow Americans to vote by email. We could make voting mandatory. And so forth. But few of these ideas have caught on yet. As a result, the United States still ranks incredibly low (pdf) among advanced countries in terms of voter turnout.
All in all, the charts above show 45 million American citizens who were either registered but didnt vote or didnt register at all in the last presidential election. According to Census data, that number has gone up steadily with each passing election, so we can likely expect around 50 million people to fall into this category on Tuesday.

The Revolution Will Not Be Digitized
How the Internet helps Iran silence activists.
What happened in Baharestan Square on Wednesday? According to a woman who called in to CNN, Iranian security forces unleashed unimaginable brutality upon a few hundred protesters gathered in central Tehran. "They beat a woman so savagely that she was drenched in blood, and her husband, who was watching the scene, he just fainted," the anonymous caller screamed into the phone. "This was—this was exactly a massacre. You should stop this. You should stop this. You should help the people of Iran who demand freedom. You should help us."
Clips of the phone call ricocheted across the Web and cable TV. The message was corroborated on Twitter, where a post by @persiankiwi brought horrific news from Baharestan Square: "we saw militia with axe choping ppl like meat - blood everywhere - like butcher - Allah Akbar."* News organizations around the world told of a brutal crackdown—Iran's Tiananmen. But at the same time, other reports suggested the rally was a far tamer encounter. A reader on the New York Times' Lede blog wrote in to say that the protest had been cleared by security forces with minimal violence. The blog of the National Iranian American Council, which has been closely following all the news out of Tehran, published a report from a "trusted source" who said that while the rally was "tense," it didn't match the CNN caller's account. "The moment we stood in one place, they would break us up," the source wrote. "I saw many people get blindfolded and arrested, however it wasn't a massacre."
Over the last couple of weeks, those who believe in the transformative powers of technology have pointed to Iran as a test case—one of the first repressive regimes to meet its match in social media, the first revolution powered by Twitter. Even in the early days of the protest, that story line seemed more hopeful than true, as Slate's Jack Shafer, among many others, pointed out. Since last week, though, when the state began to systematically clamp down on journalists and all communications networks leading out of the country, hope has become much harder to sustain. The conflicting accounts about what happened at Baharestan Square are evidence that Iran's media crackdown is working. The big story in Iran is confusion—on a daily basis, there are more questions than answers about what's really happening, about who's winning and losing, about what comes next. The surprise isn't that technology has given protesters a new voice. It's that, despite all the tech, they've been effectively silenced.
The crackdown in Iran shows that, for regimes bent on survival, squashing electronic dissent isn't impossible. In many ways, modern communication tools are easier to suppress than organizing methods of the past. According to the Wall Street Journal, Iran has one of the world's most advanced surveillance networks. Using a system installed last year (and built, in part, by Nokia and Siemens), the government routes all digital traffic in the country through a single choke point. Through "deep packet inspection," the regime achieves omniscience—it has the technical capability to monitor every e-mail, tweet, blog post, and possibly even every phone call placed in Iran. Compare that with East Germany, in which the Stasi managed to tap, at most, about 100,000 phone lines—a gargantuan task that required 2,000 full-time technicians to monitor the calls. The Stasi's work force comprised 100,000 officers, and estimates put its network of citizen informants at half a million. In the digital age, Iran can monitor its citizens with a far smaller security apparatus. They can listen in on everything anyone says—and shut down anything inconvenient—with the flip of a switch.
We've seen the effects of this control over the past couple days. To be sure, a few harrowing pictures and videos have filtered through Iran's closed net. But they're the exceptions; much of what's happened since the start of the week went undocumented. As the Lede points out, many of the clips now being posted to YouTube were first published last week, before Iran shut down its connections with the outside world. In the absence of fresh videos coming out of the country, people have been attaching new dates to old clips in order to stoke new outrage over the security crackdown.
The dearth of new images isn't surprising. The Internet is not anonymous; in places like Iran and China, whatever you do on the Web can be traced back to your computer. Hackers and activists have come up with many clever ways to elude such monitoring, but for most citizens, posting videos and even tweeting eyewitness accounts remains fraught with peril.
There's another problem with expecting digital movements to overthrow repressive governments. Organizing online—using tools like text messaging, Facebook, and Twitter—requires social trust, a commodity in short supply in a police state. Even in America, we've seen movements that look mighty online fizzle when they hit the ground (see Howard Dean). Imagine how much more difficult this would be if you were sitting in Tehran: You come across a tweet alerting you to a rally this afternoon in Baharestan Square. You'd like to go, but all kinds of fears begin to run through your head. What if they're watching me? Is this rally for real—or is it disinformation? What if I'm the only one to show up?
Other than trying to shut down many parts of the Web, we don't know what, precisely, Iranian security forces have done in response to the online protest movement. It's unclear whether they've actually planted disinformation online or tried to trace images and videos back to their original posters. But the uncertainty itself breeds fear. Several times over the last couple weeks, rumors have flooded the Web that the government had already gotten wise to Twitter and was actively seeding the movement with fake news. It was a stark example of how the psychological repression characteristic of authoritarian regimes—the constant fear, the inability to trust anyone—finds particularly fertile ground online.
Here's another one: On Wednesday, a reader alerted the Lede to an Iranian government Web site called Gerdab.ir, where authorities had posted pictures of protesters and were asking citizens for help in identifying the activists. That's right—the regime is now using crowd-sourcing, one of the most-hyped aspects of Web 2.0 organizing, against its opponents. If you think about it, that's no surprise. Who said that only the good guys get to use the power of the Web to their advantage?
Correction, June 26, 2009: This piece originally misidentified a Twitter user as persianwiki. The correct username is persiankiwi. ( Return to corrected sentence.)

BitTorrent client, installing
This article
Based on work by frontalot.
on Linkstationwiki.org
BitTorrent[1] is the name of a peer-to-peer (P2P) file distribution client application and also of its related file sharing protocol, both of which were created by programmer Bram Cohen. Bit Torrent is designed to distribute large amounts of data widely without incurring the corresponding consumption in costly server and bandwidth resources. There are mutiple implementations of this protocol[2]
1. The default BitTorrent packages, bittorrent/bittorrent-gui and bittornado/bittornado-gui, are severely lacking in features, such as share rules. Before you begin, make sure to uninstall any existing versions of BitTorrent or BitTornado.
2. Since BitTorrent is written in Python, we will need to install a few packages required to compile Python programs. Use the command:
apt-get install python-gtk2 python-profiler python2.3-profiler python-dev alien
3. Download the most recent BitTorrent source package[3] from http://www.bittorrent.com, not the precompiled Debian package (which is for the x86 architecture and will not work on the LinkStation).
4. Extract the source package to the directory of your choice. Use the command:
tar -zxvf ./source_package_name.tar.gz
5. Change over to whatever directory you unpacked the BitTorrent source to.
6. Run the command:

A new resolution introduced in the US Senate offers political backing to the Bush administration by slamming a United Nations effort to exert more influence over the Internet. At the heart of this international political spat is the unique influence that the US federal government enjoys over Internet addresses and the master database of top-level domain names - a legacy of the Internet's origins years ago. The Bush administration recently raised objections to the proposed addition of .xxx as a red-light district for pornographers, for instance, a veto power that no other government is able to wield.

Ealing Trailfinders v Bedford Blues
Bedford came up short in their second pre-season friendly at Vallis Way on Saturday as hosts Ealing Trailfinders won 34-25.
Ealing put six tries past Bedford on the 3G pitch in west London, in a game which saw a lot of free flowing rugby.
Blues kicked off the clash and immediately pressed Ealing, England U20 winger Nathan Earle making a good tackle to keep the hosts in their half.
Then director of coaching and Ealing number 10 for the afternoon, Ben Ward, was caught offside but Steffan Jones couldn't get Bedford off the mark from the tee.
The Green and Whites surprised Blues with their power in the scrum five minutes in but as they tried to get out their half, back rowers Ben Gulliver and Eoin Sheriff were putting in some good hits to keep them at bay.
Ealing kept up their intensity though and earned themselves a 5m lineout, Mike Walker-Fitton took the throw well and after Blues brought the maul down, Josh Buggea was sinbinned.
The hosts powerfully drove the 5m scrum over the line for Tom Brown to touch down, Matt Jarvis couldn't convert but the Trailfinders were off the mark.
Ealing could have got their second a few minutes later after pushing Blues right back to their try line, but they passed to touch after having an overlap on the opposing wing.
Blues took the lineout but a cheeky bounce saw flanker Alex Bradley snatch the ball and double the lead.
Ealing looked like they were going to go on and do the business but moments later, Blues got organised and found debutant Nathan Earle down the right, he swiftly got in for Bedford's first though Jones couldn't add the two.
After 20 minutes Ealing worked a driving maul, this time Walker-Fitton dived over as the maul broke down, he simply picked up the ball and it was easy for him.
The wind wasn't helping with the conversions but when Bedford won a penalty bang in front of the sticks, Jones called for the tee and added three to make it 15-8.
Ealing hit straight back down the left, Tom Parker found himself gathering from the break down and ran in, this time Ben Ward added the extras.
Trailfinders took the next scrum but were stopped in their tracks by Earle, and when Eoin Sheriff tackled well, Bedford nearly got a turnover but Ealing scrambled well.
They came into Bedford's half and looked strong but Henry Staff was able to intercept, Bedford came at Ealing with Veenedaal and Earle linking well but once more Ealing held.
After the next scrum collapsed however and Bedford got the decision, Blues managed to kick through Jones to get a lineout just outside the hosts 22 and they had momentum.
Blues strung lots of phases together and when Ealing lock Carwyn Jones came in from the side at the maul, Bedford kicked themselves closer and then took a leaf out of Ealing's book by driving the maul.
Fenton Wells was able to get the score in the corner but Jones couldn't notch the conversion, after the kick the half wrapped up 22-13.
Blues came out firing in the second half and grabbed a score through Eoin Sheriff and as Jones notched the conversion, the gap was reduced to two.
They came again but this time Carwyn Jones fouled once more, as he came in at the side, he got sent to the bin.
Blues wasted no time of the man advantage, Paul Tupai dived over to but the visitors in the lead, replacement Jake Sharp this time had kicking duties but he was also unsuccessful.
Blues had the lead but once Carwyn Jones returned to play, the home side rallied and stepped up a gear.
Just after the hour mark, Ben Ward sent a great grubber through the blues line for Ronnie McClean to latch on to, Ward converted also to make it 29-25.
Blues tried desperately to get back into it but with 10 left on the clock, winger Chris Kinloch was on the end of some lucky passes, suddenly Ealing led 34-25.
Ealing continued pushing late on but couldn't add further as the game came to a close, Bedford perhaps overdid it and were ill disciplined early on but in the end the hosts deserved their win.
Ealing: Jamie Kilbane (Kevin Davis, 30), Andrei Radoi, Alex Penny (Ignas Darkintas, 30), Mike Walker-Fitton (Llewelyn Jones, 30), Carwyn Jones, Sean O'Connell, Alex Bradley, Tom Brown (c), Tom Parker, Ben Ward (Morgan Thompson, 70), Sam Wardingley, Andy Reay, Ronnie McLean, Chris Kinloch, Matt Jarvis.

The Five Conditions
You cannot have a condition in this universe where there is no increase and no decrease. That's a totally stable condition. There is no such thing in this universe from one end of it to the other. There isn't anything that always remains the same. —L. Ron Hubbard
Utterly inexorable in their application to both MEST and life, their unknown and therefore invisible influence has long been attributed to the workings of fate. Indeed, individuals have failed, organizations collapsed, empires dwindled and civilizations vanished—all for want of the knowledge in L. Ron Hubbard's landmark lecture revealing the discovery of the conditions and their formulas.
Emerging from the same track of research that yielded the Grade Chart and the route to Clear, the conditions are the natural laws that govern the existence of everything from atoms to galaxies and from algae to Man. But whereas MEST is the effect of these laws, life has the ability to turn them to its advantage. For in isolating and identifying the conditions, Mr. Hubbard discovered the means to eliminate "fate" from the destinies of Man forever. The route to that accomplishment lies through full application of the Condition Formulas, each addressing a specific condition: Emergency, Normal, Affluence, Power Change and Power.
In this watershed lecture, Mr. Hubbard details the ingredients of these previously unknown conditions as well as the precise application of their formulas. And, as he reveals, they not only are the very woof and warp of this universe, but the very stuff of survival itself. For while the wrong formula will inevitably lead to contraction of the individual or group, the correct formula will just as inevitably lead to expansion and, ultimately, to the Condition of Power. And that is survival.

The door to the party store on Bridge Street, next to VFW Post 4646, has been closed since March 2009. Now it is open, and the location is host to a new business: the Lyons Village General Store.
The door to the party store on Bridge Street, next to VFW Post 4646, has been closed since March 2009. Now it is open, and the location is host to a new business: the Lyons Village General Store.
The store opened at 4 a.m. on Thursday. Co-owner Ginger Harris said she isn't sure how long she will be open that early, but she is giving the early morning hours a try.
"People in town said there is a lot of traffic at 4:30 a.m.," she said, adding that she wants to be open when customers need her to be.
Dan Shaw, who was staffing the cash register Thursday, said 35 to 40 people had come in by noon.
"Ninety percent of them said, 'I am so glad to gave the place back open,'" Shaw said. "If we can keep getting support like that, we'll do fine."
A table and chairs sit at the front of the store for people who want to stop in and hang out for a while. Co-owner Ginger Harris of Vestaburg said she would love for the store to become a community gathering place.
"I'd really like for that to happen," she said. "We encourage people to stay and socialize. They are always welcome."
The store is offering refills on a second cup of coffee on the same day for 75 cents. There also is a coffee club: buy nine cups of coffee and get the 10th free.
The shelves aren't full yet, but Harris said she is adding to her inventory weekly. In the meanwhile, the coffee and cocoa are brewed and hot; the pop is cold; and snacks like donuts, a wide variety of Uncle Ray's potato chips, Ramen noodles and microwaveable pizza are ready for purchase. Everything is priced competitively, Harris added.
"We're concentrating on quick foods right now," she said.
The store also has energy drinks, cigarettes and tobacco. Harris plans to add newspapers; dairy; bread; and paper, cleaning and health products soon. Strudel, bear claws and home-made apple, pumpkin, lemon meringue and other flavors of mini pies will come next month. She plans to have hand-dipped ice cream by the spring, and she and her partners hope to have their food license by the summer, so they can sell pizza, subs and sandwiches.
"We'd like to bring in fryers eventually, and have fish and chips, and chicken," Harris said. There is still a bit more remodeling to do before that happens.
The store is a first-time venture for Harris and her partners, Dave Overholt of Sidney and Dave Hancock of Sheridan.
"We really want it to be everybody's one-stop shop," she said. "We hope people will run in here instead of driving into Ionia to get things."

Jan. 31, 2003
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - The Santa Clara University women's tennis team opened the 2003 season with a victory over San Jose State, 5-2 this evening at the SCU Tennis Center. Freshman Casey Knutson clinched the victory for the Broncos in her collegiate debut.
This year's competition added incentive for victory with the creation of a rivalry series between the two schools. Santa Clara earned two points as today's winner.
"Our matches against San Jose State have always been competitive," said SCU head coach Aby Ryan, after earning her 99th career victory. "The new rivalry series added an extra element to the competition. We were eager to play and competed really well today."
A competition that awards points for each victory between the two schools in 13 sports, the rivalry series has been dominated thus far in the season by Santa Clara with the Broncos owning a 18-3 lead. SCU won head-to-head match-ups in volleyball, men and women's soccer, women's basketball and men and women's cross country to jump out to an early lead in the inaugural contest. The Spartans earned their first points of the season with a two-point victory in men's basketball in late November.
The Broncos swept doubles play to earn the first point of the afternoon. Senior Ashley Campbell and junior Jenny Siegel were off the courts first with their 8-1 win at No. 3. Seniors Mariko Kawakami and Pati Ruiz overcame an early deficit to win on the second court by an 8-6 score. Senior Christine Limbers and sophomore Janalle Kaloi rounded out the sweep with their 8-4 final over San Jose State's Noelle Lee and Ana Lukner.
In singles action, Ruiz, Kawakami and Knutson earned solid victories, ceding only two games in those three matches.
"We have a really deep team this year, and we will have a lot of success in the bottom half of the lineup, as seen today," Ryan added.
After dropping her opening frame, Limbers won at the top singles spot in a super-tie break over Lee. Kaloi and sophomore Catherine Cochrane were not able to overcome first-set losses, and San Jose State earned its points by Lukner and Coral Silverstone at No. 2 and 3 singles.
The Broncos will return to the courts tomorrow, visiting Saint Mary's in an early West Coast Conference match. Ryan will aim to become the first coach in SCU women's tennis history to notch 100 career victories. First serve is slated for 11 a.m. in Moraga.
1. Limbers/Kaloi (SCU) def. Lee/Lukner (SJSU) 8-4
2. Kawakami/Ruiz (SCU) def. Silverstone/Van (SJSU) 8-6
3. Ashley Campbell / Jenny Siegel (SCU) def. Vasu/ Thelma Chavez-Hoy (SJSU) 8-1
1. Christine Limbers (SCU) def. Noelle Lee (SJSU) 3-6, 6-0, (10-6)

Schwarzenegger funnier than Sly

Sylvester Stallone thinks his pal Arnold Schwarzenegger is better at comedy than him
Sylvester Stallone thinks Arnold Schwarzenegger is better at comedy than him.
The action movie legends - who are also close friends - have reunited for 'Escape Plan', and when it comes to injecting humour into their roles, Stallone believes his co-star is the best.
Stallone said: "I have to defer to Arnold on this one because he really developed action comedy and the use of humour in very dramatic situations. My characters? Rambo isn't exactly a barrel of laughs, is he?
"He invented the one-liner. 'I'll be back!' that's one of his major contributions. They didn't have those before."
Schwarzenegger remains modest about his comedic chops, but particularly enjoyed acting goofy for one particular scene in the new movie.
He added to Nuts magazine: "There's one very intense moment where I'm getting busy with a big gun wiping out all the bad guys' guards on the top of the prison but I've got my smirk on my face and a real deadpan line to deliver."

CONWAY, Mo. — Thirteen and a half days and 1,910 miles had passed since the first group of runners set out amid the bodybuilders and piercing parlors of Venice Beach, Calif., and now the baton was just around the bend, down a section of Route 66 snaking amid the prairie grass and rolling hills of southwestern Missouri.
Dan Bohannon, 57 and a grandfather of four, tied a bandanna around his head, took a puff from his inhaler, and tried to ignore the butterflies in his stomach. Never in his life, he thought, had he been part of something so epic.
It was nearing 9:40 p.m. on June 20. Bohannon was limbering up for the 173d leg of the One Run for Boston , a crowd-sourced 3,300-mile relay to raise money for victims of the Boston Marathon bombings, billed as the first nonstop, coast-to-coast baton pass ever to unfurl across America.
That baton — shaped like a streamlined lily, outfitted with a GPS transponder to track its progress — is poised to reach Boston tonight, 24 days after the start, with nearly $100,000 raised for the One Fund. Some 650 runners have registered for the 319th and final leg from Newton, planning to surge down Boylston Street together.
By the time the baton, nicknamed Miles, reached the Ozarks, late that Thursday night, it had bobbed through Beverly Hills and skirted Joshua Tree National Park, crossed the sunburnt deserts of the Southwest, and passed solemnly through the rubble of an Oklahoma town flattened by a tornado.
Bohannon, wearing a necklace stamped "Boston Strong" and "173," waited at the corner of a cornfield to carry it over a 9½-mile leg — a link in the continuous chain passing, incredible to him, through his hometown of Conway, population 788, nine churches, no stoplight. He would run by his parents' cattle farm along a narrow stretch of Route 66 that his grandfather helped pave, long before the interstates.
A full moon and the lights of an idling escort from the Conway Volunteer Fire Department illuminated the road. His wife rubbed the small of his back. Cicadas hissed and bullfrogs rasped in the distance.
"Is this real?" Bohannon asked.
He had followed every picture, post, and tweet about the One Run since it first popped up in his Facebook feed a month earlier, had tracked the baton across the continent, and drank up the stories — the Navajo runners like Thomas Hatathli who made up lost time across tribal lands, the Mainer, Gary Allen, who had run Boston 21 times and powered 33½ miles through hail and lightning in the Texas Panhandle.
And he knew all about the two 30-something Brits who set everything in motion — Kate Treleaven, a former journalist who once organized a charity relay all around the UK, and Danny Bent, a teacher and triathlete who once bicycled to India — and were now following Miles like stormchasers, while strangers tucked $20 bills under the wipers of their donated, decorated rental SUV at rest stops.
Bohannon could not believe they let him be part of all this. Downsized in December by Kraft Foods, he is a self-deprecating Missourian who does not run very fast and who had never been to Boston, never carried a baton, never run this late at night.
But he shared something with everyone involved, from Santa Monica to Southwest England: Running is such a part of his identity that he kept thinking about the Boston Marathon — the lives upended, the goodwill of race day shattered — long after it disappeared from his local news.
In high school he had been the scrawny, asthmatic manager of the Conway Bears basketball team. When he took up running at 30, everyone thought he was nuts or needed a ride; it just wasn't something a grown man did, not then in the Ozarks.
But he loved it, the way it cleared his head between work and gospel practice, the way it allowed him to eat what he wanted and still see his belt buckle, the way the miles accumulated in his log books. He kept on running well into middle age, 20,000 deliberate miles, half a dozen marathons, scores of small road races.
He was listening to the Boston Marathon online all day April 15 and heard the explosions and horrifying reports in real time. He longed to do more than send money or run a roadrace in a homemade "4/15/13" bib, both of which he did. Still, when he discovered the One Run — and saw in disbelief that it would bisect Conway — he hesitated.
"This is kind of a big deal," he thought. "I'm not a big deal runner."
So he walked away. But the idea of a stranger running through Conway gnawed at him, and he logged on again. Other segments had filled in, but No. 173 remained available. He grabbed it.
He was lucky he did. After mapping a route on Google, soliciting corporate sponsors, and e-mailing running clubs across America, Treleaven and Bent had flown to LA with a relay map pocked with openings, resigned to running unfilled stretches themselves to keep the baton moving. But their idea caught fire with the running world, and before the One Run got out of California, every leg had been filled.
So they broadened it to welcome groups all along the way, not just for the shorter, communal legs originally planned around landmarks like the St. Louis Arch, New York's One World Trade Center, and the Boylston Street finish.
By the time they reached Oklahoma, half way, they had enlisted 1,500 runners and raised $50,000, with a vibrant community embracing the One Run online and along the way — participants trading inspirational links about Marathon victims, photos of Miles, tips for media outreach, and their own running jokes (mostly involving Danny Bent's minuscule pair of red shorts, which blew away while being air dried out the window on a desert highway but now have their own Twitter handle).
Bohannon relished it, posting words of encouragement and connecting with other runners along the way. On the morning of his own leg, he rose early and drove to Springfield to volunteer with a charity that aids the poor in Nicaragua. He planned to watch the 169-170 handoff in Springfield that afternoon, but the relay was running 80 minutes behind — not bad for two weeks out, in 90-degree heat — so he went home to make cobbler with berries from his yard, a hobby he developed in unemployment.
He returned to Springfield to watch the handoff at the flagship store of Bass Pro Shops, an outdoor-sports emporium big enough to swallow seven football fields under its gabled roof. A Bass Pro emcee amped up the crowd ("Stay tuned! History is about to be made!") as the baton neared, an oversized thousand-dollar check waiting in the wings.
Time on his hands, Bohannon leapfrogged to Strafford to watch the next exchange, too, 16 runners mostly affiliated with Bass Pro passing the baton off to a 49-year-old hospital lab manager, Richard White, a competitive marathoner with the BAA unicorn tattooed on his shoulder; Aaron Tucker, his 21-year-old protege, and some of Tucker's college cross-country teammates.
"These young kids," Bohannon said, watching them depart in a blur. "They're able to do things. They don't even know what they can do."
They blitzed through 12½ miles in 90 minutes, finishing with Miller High Life and cereal bars at a strip mall parking lot, near a tent selling fireworks. When they passed the baton — and a flag they added to the mix — to a group of six led by Iraq war veteran Darren Maute, Bohannon was gone, resting at his mother-in-law's and nibbling Oreos for energy.
He set out for his own designated crossroads at sunset, knocking on the door across the way to explain why a small crowd would be loitering near a cornfield. "Just wanted to let you know we're not making trouble," he said.
"Thank you so much for letting us know," a woman said, two dogs circling at her feet. "Out here in the country you never know."
Just before 9:40, Maute's group rounded the bend in a dust cloud, dripping with sweat. They posed for photos, handing over Miles and the flag.
"Be safe out there," Maute said.
"I will," Bohannon said, baton in hand, the flag lashed to the fire department pickup truck that would be his pacesetter. "I'll be paying attention."
"Everyone's real friendly," Maute said. "That flag helps."
And then he was off, smiling as he ran. Behind the flashing lights of the truck, he tentatively tacked to the middle of the road, after years running in the shoulder.
"Go, runner!" someone called from a darkened driveway. It was pitch black beyond the convoy's lights, but Bohannon knew the route from memory, rounding the first curve past a rusted metal barn. He had learned to ride a bike, to drive, to run on this stretch of Route 66. And though he now lived down the road in Sparta, he came home often to see his parents and three brothers.
"I feel good," he said, feet pounding like a metronome. "Like Steve Rogers, Captain America. I could do this all day. Or night. Maybe."
Ranches and trailers scattered among fields, the freight rail tracks to St. Louis weaving in and out of view. As a teenager, he had picked up hay bales at night for a nickel each along this stretch.
His shoulder and knuckles ached. The baton was no heavier than a water bottle but more awkward to hold, and he shifted it to his other hand. Sweat beaded on his forehead. He ran in silence, narrating occasionally, pointing out signs painted by his father as a side job to farming and driving a rural postal route, the home of a man who taught him to string up steer and cut meat, the cell towers and propane tanks on land rented by farmers squeezed by the dairy crisis.
At 3.1 miles, he crossed the line separating Webster and Laclede counties. Treleaven, waiting, handed him a water bottle. "Looking absolutely lovely, Dan!" she cheered.
At 3.9, he passed a familiar sign — Conway, Population 788 — and one he had not noticed before, declaring the city "2010 National High School Robotics Champions."
Approaching 4.5, he neared the heart of Conway, a four-way stop by the Summer Fresh grocery, the post office, and the bank. Twenty people gathered by the road, hollering and clapping, framed by Conway's fire engine and its first-ever ladder truck, displaying up high an American flag. "Wooo!" they cried.
He grinned and raised the baton. "Thank you, Conway!" he called.
A young woman and a middle-aged man jumped out, and then another man, all of them running alongside.
"We're going to join you for a little bit," said Heather Officer, extending a hand.
"My cousin, of course!" Bohannon said. Like many in town, they were loosely related, though he had not seen her since she was a girl.
"We go to church with your parents and they were telling us about this," she said.
Bohannon smiled. His parents might think running was crazy, but they were proud of him. And here was proof that at least three other adults in town had started running, too. As the miles dissolved underfoot, they took turns with the baton.
Nearing six miles, two gray-haired women came into view by a mailbox on the left — "my mom and my aunt!" — opposite a lean, upright man of 80, hands in his pockets.
"My dad!" Bohannon said, eyes wide, slowing for an exchange — "You guys OK?!" "You OK?!" "Yeah!" "All right." — but never stopping.
A mile and a half later, the One Run SUV pulled up alongside Bohannon's pack. Treleaven leaned out, with Bent at the wheel. "We can be your jukebox if you like!"
The group laughed. The organizers drove off toward the finish, the pack marveling at their accents. "Like being in 'Downton Abbey,' " Bohannon said.
A small dog materialized in the shoulder, followed for a few paces, and hooked right down a driveway. "A Boston terrier!" they called, marveling at the coincidence.
At last, after 9.2 miles, they rounded the final bend, and the pack pulled back. Bohannon strode toward the flashing lights of Conway's fire engine and ladder truck, an American flag billowing 60 feet overhead, a crowd of two dozen clapping and shouting above the hum of the idling engines. "Woo! Woo-hoo!"
It was 11:16 p.m., 9½ miles, 94 minutes. Bohannon ran straight ahead without so much as a wave and pulled up in front of the runner for leg 174, Chris Thomas, a 36-year-old postal carrier and Marine Corps vet.
They shook hands and exchanged the baton. Bohannon exhaled, hugged his wife, Regina, hugged Treleaven and Bent, accepted back pats and head nods all around. His berry cobbler waited on a fire-engine running board.
The ladder truck lowered the bucket, and the captain invited Bohannon to climb in. He thought about something he'd read attributed to Mother Teresa, when asked about all the attention she got over her charity — "Do you think when Jesus rode into Jerusalem the donkey thought it was all about him?" — and considered demurring. But who says no to a bucket truck?
He climbed in. It was almost midnight. High above his hometown, he took a bite of blackberry cobbler, 57 years old and part of something epic. Somewhere in the deep-black distance, the baton bobbed toward Boston.Eric Moskowitz can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @GlobeMoskowitz

TORONTO (AP) No matter how hard the Carolina Hurricanes pushed, the Toronto Maple Leafs found a way to hold them back.
Joffrey Lupul scored the go-ahead goal with 3:10 remaining, helping the Maple Leafs hold off a fierce comeback and beat the Hurricanes 6-3 on Thursday night.
Lupul raced past Joe Corvo and beat Justin Peters for his seventh goal this season, shifting the puck from his backhand before tucking the puck into the net. All of Lupul's goals have come in five games since his return from a broken forearm.
``We were confident we were going to win the game the whole time,'' said Lupul. ``That's the sign of our team really maturing. We get in these tight games, last year we probably wouldn't have won that game and this year we did.''
Jay McClement sealed it with his sixth of the season on an empty-netter with 45 seconds to go before Nikolai Kulemin added his sixth with 3 seconds left - also into an empty net.
``Not a lot of things were going right for us for a little while there in the hockey game,'' said Toronto coach Randy Carlyle. ``But they reached back and found a way and that's what it's about.''
Tyler Bozak, Cody Franson and Dion Phaneuf also scored for Toronto. Phil Kessel had two assists for the Leafs, adding to his recent hot streak at the Air Canada Centre, where he has four goals and 10 assists in his last nine games.
Toronto outshot Carolina 36-22.
``We got a couple of ugly ones and a couple of pretty ones,'' said Toronto goalie James Reimer, making his sixth start in the last seven games.
Eric Staal, Jordan Staal and Alexander Semin scored for the Hurricanes, who rallied from a 2-0 hole for a 3-2 lead early in the third before extending their winless streak to seven games.
Jordan Staal's goal at 6:55 of the third made it 3-2 after two Leafs crashed into each other in the defensive end. Staal cruised past both and roofed the puck for his eighth of the season. Tuomo Ruutu got the assist for his 300th NHL point.
``I think tonight was honestly one of our best nights of just working hard and working through it and trying to find a way to win the game,'' said Jordan Staal. ``Obviously we didn't come up with the result but there's still, I guess you could say some good things, but obviously we've still got to be better if we want to make a push for the playoffs.''
Kessel, who was flying up and down the ice all night, hit the crossbar seconds later. Lupul had a gilt-edged chance on the power play later in the period but was unable to stuff the puck in from the edge of the crease.
Phaneuf tied it up at 3 with 5:25 left with a shot from the point for his seventh of the season after Carolina had survived a frenetic power play that saw Lupul and Bozak unable to stuff the puck in from close range.
``Tonight I thought we had a lot of good things and I thought we deserved a better result.''
Peters was by far the busier goalie in the first period and looked sharp. Toronto outshot the visitors 13-7, with Kessel producing five of those for the Leafs. One of his got past Peters, flipping over his shoulder, and was slowly trickling toward the goal-line before it was cleared away by alert defenseman Joni Pitkanen.
Bozak opened the scoring at 3:58 with his 10th of the season, tapping his stick on the ice to get Kessel's attention at the side of the goal after some fierce forechecking pinned the Hurricanes in their own end. Kessel saw Bozak and sent a seeing-eye pass through the crease that eluded two Carolina defenders before the Leafs center tapped it in.
Seconds later, Toronto's Frazer McLaren and Kevin Westgarth were fighting at center ice with the Hurricanes forward getting the better of the tussle. McLaren, who officially spent one second on the ice before the fight, had to head to the dressing room for medical attention. His cheek, badly cut by a slash in a March 6 win over Ottawa, had again split open.
Westgarth emerged from the box to Carolina sticks banging on the boards. McLaren was back on the ice later in the period.
NOTES: Leafs D Jake Gardiner was a healthy scratch, giving way to John-Michael Liles, who was returning from an ankle injury ... The game was the first of a three-stop Canadian road trip for the Hurricanes, who play in Winnipeg on Saturday and Montreal on Monday. ... The Leafs came into the game leading the league in fighting majors with 33, while the Hurricanes had only 10. ... Carolina D Jay Harrison was hit with a boarding penalty late for sending Nazem Kadri into the end boards.

Adriana Lima shows off baby belly in Pirelli calendar shot
The Victoria's Secret Angel posed for a Pirelli calendar spread in a cropped top and flowing skirt before the birth of her daughter Sienna in September (12).
The sensual shot features in the calendar, which next year will highlight the charitable efforts of the models included.
As a result, beauties like Lima, Petra Nemcova and Isabeli Fontana were told they didn't have to strip for the usually racy shots.
Lima has since lost the baby weight she was gaining in the Pirelli calendar shot and she showed she's back to her supermodel best on the catwalk at Victoria's Secret annual fashion show recently.
