U.S. U-20 WNT vs. Nigeria
2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup – Semifinal
Tokyo National Stadium; Tokyo, Japan
Sept. 4, 2012
U.S. head coach STEVE SWANSON
On the match:
"We're obviously very happy to be moving on. It was a difficult match physically, certainly, and I thought Nigeria gave us all we could handle and more. It wasn't pretty at times, but I thought our team getting that first goal was critical. Our team did well at times holding the ball against a very quick, fast, athletic team and getting that second goal made a big difference for us. We beat a quality opponent that has experience, which we are happy about as well, as that team has been to the finals before and has a lot of experienced players."
On the team defending:
"We didn't give up any goals against a team that is quite athletic. They can do a lot of things on the ball and are very dangerous. I thought our back four did very well, but overall, everyone played their part. I thought at times we did a good job of keeping possession and getting out away from our goal which was very important for us."
On Samantha Mewis coming into the match and setting up the game-clinching goal:
"Sam Mewis has given us a big lift every time she's come in in this tournament. She's an experienced player and has been here before. I thought she did exactly what we needed her to do. Obviously, it was a physical game and it was hot and players were a little tired so I think that was a substitution we needed, for someone to come in and give us a lift and I thought she did that in the midfield. She can hold the ball quite well and she won some air balls and some tackles for us, but she's been doing that all tournament."
On using the lessons from the previous four games in getting the result against Nigeria:
"We needed to learn quickly. This level here at this tournament and teams that we've played has really tested us. Looking back at group play, that game against Ghana was obviously critical for us. Not only were we able to get the win, but we won by a significant margin which helped us get through. I am very proud of how our team has applied the lessons of the games. I don't think we beat North Korea unless we have those three games ahead of that one, unless we go through what we went through against Germany. I think it strengthened our resolve a little bit. Nigeria was very dangerous, athletic and very good on the ball and I think that game against Ghana helped us get this result. Someone asked me before, 'did you back in to the quarterfinals' and I would say no, we earned our spot, we learned lessons, we applied them and we've gotten better and that's a testament to the players."
On Nigeria pressing hard for an equalizer at the beginning of the second half:
"At that point we are up so the onus is on Nigeria to get a goal to get back in the game. They did press and pushed players forward and I think the combination of just their athleticism and closing us down was difficult for us. At times we had a hard time possessing the ball and getting out of our end, but we made a couple of adjustments to our shape and that helped a little bit, especially after we got that second goal. You have to credit Nigeria for turning it up a notch when they had to, but our defense hung tough and kept their shape and we limited their dangerous changes."
On Nigeria overall:
"Nigeria over the course of the last few tournaments has done exceptionally well. We knew it would be a difficult game and it was. They play with such a good style and they are very athletic. The first goal helped us and settled us down and in a game like this it always helps to get that first goal. There are some very good players in that team and I think they will do well down the road."
On the match:
"I thought our team did a great job from front to back of keeping them in front of us and winning balls and being there to cover one another. We talked about how important it was to get good cover around the person pressuring the ball, but even when we did that, their speed was hard to handle at times. I thought we handled the air game very well, I thought our forwards did a good job of making themselves big so if we did clear the ball we could at least get some possession coming out of the back and I thought our midfielders worked their tails off all game long. We also got some good minutes from players off the bench, which was very important."
On getting goals from two players that had yet to score in the tournament:
"That's been the hallmark of our team is that a number of players can score. Morgan (Brian) certainly has been knocking on the door in some of these games and so has Kealia (Ohai), she's been just fantastic in the energy she brings and the runs she makes. She's been a provider, but it was nice to see her get a great goal. We take a lot of pride in our interchangeable parts, being able to get people to attack and we certainly like it when a lot of people score."
U.S. defender JULIE JOHNSTON
On her feelings after the final whistle:
"I was so excited. I was screaming. I was about to cry. I was so emotional. I sat down (on the bench) and sighed in relief. I am just so excited that we got to the final. I think our team deserved it and it was awesome."
On the match:
"I think we learned a lot from Nigeria. They are a very fast team and we saw that from the first run of play. We knew we needed to be smart and understand what type of game this was. We told each other that we didn't want any goals against and we left it all on the field and I'm very proud of them."
On the team showing tremendous heart deep into the tournament:
"Everyone had a role and effort was the first one. This is the fifth game we've played and fatigue can set it in in these kinds of games. We told each other before the game, no matter what, work hard for each other, work hard for yourself and work hard for this team and that's what everyone's mindset was and I think it really showed."
On Kealia Ohai's goal:
"When Kealia scored the goal I was so excited. There was a little relief, yes, as we had some cushion, but it was not like we were going to let off the gas at all. It just meant that we needed to be smarter now. I was so happy for her. She works so hard down the sideline."
U.S. forward KEALIA OHAI
On making it to the U-20 Women's World Cup Final:
"We always knew we could do it, but it's surreal to us right now. We can't wrap our heads around it. We're so excited because we've worked so hard. We've been preparing for a year and half and so finally it's here. It's so real and we're so ready."
On Nigeria:
"They were awesome. They were really dangerous. We knew they would be really fast so we tried to stay compact on defense and they stretched us at times, but we finished some good chances and we're going to the final."
On her goal:
"Both teams were countering so everyone was pretty stretched. Sam Mewis had just gotten into the game and she's awesome, she's had so many assists this tournament. I just saw an opening and she played a perfect ball and I took a touch and scored. It was awesome."
On scoring in a Women's World Cup semifinal:
"You can't explain in words how amazing it feels. I remember we were watching when Sydney Leroux scored her first (Olympic) goal and we're just like, 'that has to be the most amazing feeling' and it really was. It's just amazing."
U.S. midfielder MORGAN BRIAN
On the match:
"We had a good start to the game. We had possession and we had a couple chances we could have put away. As the game wore on, after we scored, it was just about defending well and finishing our chances when we got them."
On Nigeria:
"Nigeria was good. They were different than any team we played. In the beginning, they were kind of like Ghana, but they were faster, quicker, better on the ball and kept better possession."
On the team defense:
"I think we defended really well and we did good job of limiting their outside shots as they shoot from distance very well. Our possession could be better and hopefully it will be next game."
On making it to the U-20 Women's World Cup Final:
"It's a great feeling going to the World Cup Final. We've put so much hard work and effort on the field and it's great to see it all come through in making it to the final game."
On her goal:
"Mollie (Pathman) and I have this thing were we connect. I know when she has time and gets the space that she's going to find me on the back post. She played it and I was there. I hit the post on a header in the first game so I wanted to put that one away."

You were just being, or in the moment.
That is when the best things happen and miracles occur!
Good things take time to build, yet just your decision and commitment immediately starts the process of its creation. With every thought, word and deed, you are moving in that direction.
Continue to focus your thoughts, energy, words and actions in the direction of what you want to create. Feel how it would feel. See it would look. Use your imagination.

Even in difficult situations or economic times, opportunities are always present.
All things are possible, there is GOLD DUST in the air.
Whether you want to improve your health, break an addiction or negative pattern, create a better relationship, business or financial goal, you can do it. Stay positive and associate with positive people who support you unconditionally. Use your energy wisely and do not share your dreams or innermost desires with negative and unsupportive people.
The good you are seeking is also seeking you.

On DVD: "Barney's Version"
This is in spite of the best efforts of Paul Giamatti, who has one of those actor's showcase roles here—he gets to age about 30 years and pretty much play the full range of emotions, from rage to desperation to heartbreak and all points in between. His character, Barney Panofsky, is a crass Canadian TV producer with a trail of failed marriages behind him; the film is something of a Portrait of a Schlub in the Philip Roth vein.
There is crazy Clara (Rachelle Lefevre), who he marries because she's pregnant—with a friend's baby, it turns out. There is "the second Mrs. Panovsky" (Minne Driver), a perfectly lovely (if somewhat verbose) spouse who simply has the misfortune to marry him on the day he meets Miriam (Rosamund Pike), who he immediately decides is the love of his life. Bummer when you meet the woman you're supposed to marry at your wedding to another woman.
Barney's tale is told from a present-day wraparound story, which tosses in clues and red herrings, leaving us to surmise and connect dots on our own. Some of this works; some (like the true crime story) are well-prepared but ultimately undercooked. But even when director Richard J. Lewis is working up ultimately aimless elements, we're drawn in to the film and its odd, sketch-revue quality. He's way out in the woods here, but even when the picture is floundering, it's never boring; the wild tonal shifts are gingerly navigated, and the performances are, for the most part, terrific.
First of all, I hope whoever thought to cast Dustin Hoffman as Giamatti's father got a nice bonus—it's spot-on casting, and their scenes together have a wonderful low-comedy vibe (until the end, where their final interactions have a lovely, low-key perfection). Driver is broad and crass but undeniably funny, and occasionally heartbreaking. Scott Speedman, as Barney's fuck-up best friend, is the right mix of oily charm and sheer exploitation. Pike, on the other hand, is too flat as Miriam; we don't believe he'd go to the lengths he does to be with her. Not that Giamatti doesn't put his all into convincing us; even when the film stalls, the force of his performance propels the narrative.
Towards the end of the second act, Michael Konyves's screenplay (taken from the novel by Mordecai Richler) begins to fall into some predictable patterns, in sharp contrast to the anything-goes spirit of what has come before. And then it starts to unravel—the loose ends, the underdeveloped subplots, and finally (and most fatally) the TV-movie sentimentality. It's somewhat dispiriting to watch a film with so much giggly subversion in its early scenes get so cloyingly saccharine and easy (and slow, god, mercilessly slow) at the end.
Ultimately, Barney's Version is a mess. The performances are commendable, and the look and style are right on-target. But it falls right off the cliff. I genuinely admired the movie it started out as—so much, in fact, that I'm a little startled by the unfortunate movie it became.
"Barney's Version" debuts on DVD and Blu-ray tomorrow.

"Let us be clear about three facts:First of all.All battles and all wars are won in the end by the Infantryman.Secondly the Infantryman bears the brunt of the fighting,his casualties are heavier and he suffers greater extremes of fatigue and discomfort than the other arms.Thirdly,the art of the Infantryman is less stereotyped and harder to acquire than that of any other arm".

Lads, surely there's some fans of the Vipers View on Russia Today? RT has it's own presenter from Castletown!
To bring this on topic, if you're gonna speed march get yourself stretching those hip flexors, regardless of footwear. It'll allow your abs to take some strain off you back.
I dont know about others here, but personally this was lost on me, I dont really bother watching RT. Mr higgins doesn't seem funny to me, but each to his own. however to get back on topic, i'm well aware of physical preparation, was just interested in people's choices of boot as was looking to pick up a new pair. Got excited when I saw a reference to vipers. alas.

"He is an enemy officer taken in battle and entitled to fair treatment."
"No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."
Recently picked myself up a pair of Salomon-Quest 4D Forces after my Meindel Army Pro's gave up the ghost. The difference in weight is incredible and they are a very comfortable boot. There are lighter boots on the market but after reading the reviews and been for a few runs in them they're worth a mention.
Just my 2 cents worth

Device: Nike+ FuelBand
Price: £129
Retailer: Apple stores and amazon.co.uk
This high-end fitness gadget has been a topic of many-a-debate. Is it actually a useful training aid, or just an expensive time vampire? That's the question we have been trying to find an answer for.
The Nike+ FuelBand has a feel of a really high end gadget from the way that it is packaged and how the actual product is designed. It oozes panache and is likely to appeal to the techy crowd rather than the hard-core body builder (more about that later).
What's in the box:
In the box, you'll get your Nike+ FuelBand, a USB connector cable, an extension piece to ensure best fit and a tool to insert/take out the existing piece. What is also supposed to come in the box is a USB dock, which would make the FuelBand stand up nicely when it's hooked up to your laptop, but alas, there was not one included in our box.
You get an instruction booklet to get you started, though it isn't really rocket science to get the bracelet up and running.
Getting started:
First off, you need to download the app to your Mac or PC from Nike (address is in the booklet), connect your FuelBand via the USB cable after you've installed everything and customise the device for yourself and create your Nike+ account. This shouldn't take you forever to do.
You then need to let the FuelBand fully charge, which takes up-to an hour via the USB lead. There is also an app available for your smartphone if you want to track your progress on the phone as well, but it isn't a necessity to get going.
I actually found that the phone app took longer to set up than the one on the computer and at times felt a bit frustrating.
After all this you are ready to go and start hitting your goals, which you can set for yourself, or go with the pre-determined goals that suit your activities. Ther
So does it actually work?
Well, apart from looking shnazzy, the Nike FuelBand gives you an idea of the steps and calories burned. The reason I say "an idea", is because I don't think the readings are entirely accurate, but do give you a good idea. The device measures your body's move through an intricate set of features built into the band.
However, what we discovered is that it is easy to "cheat" the FuelBand. We discovered that if you wave your arm around whilst standing stationary, the FuelBand actually measures the swings of your arm as your steps and "burned" calories. Though having said that, I don't think anyone would just sit there and wave their arm to reach their daily goal that is in the thousands of Nike Fuel.
The other way where the Nike FuelBand has a shortfall is in the gym. It doesn't measure all of the activities you do i.e. squats or leg press. Additionally, it is harder to accumulate the fuel points, when you are doing exercises that involve free weights. Additionally, the FuelBand has a hard time picking up movement from push ups or sit ups, mainly down to the fact that your arms (wrists) are mainly static.
When it comes to cardio vascular exercise, the Nike+ FuelBand comes to its own.
What compliments your daily fitness goals are pretty cool videos when you hit achievements, which make the FuelBand a fun experience to use.
On the ice
Having used the FuelBand in trainings and games, it does pick up the moves and does give you a good idea of how many calories you burn during a game. As with running or plyometric exercises, the FuelBand picks up the motions and tracks your progress.
It is relatively un-intrusive in the glove and doesn't interfere with stick handling or add anything that would hinder your performance. However, be sure that you don't spend your shift staring at your wrist tracking how far you are off your goal.
The FuelBand has added an extra edge in terms of performance. As the FuelBand gives you more fuel points the faster you move, so both on and off the ice, it has improved the way in which I push myself, be it on the ice or when my feet are pounding the road.
What the FuelBand has helped out with, is definitely in the motivation. The daily goals do become a bit of an obsession and make you do more, which is great. Though there are some shortcomings, the FuelBand does add a new level to your fitness regimen and makes challenging yourself more fun and a bit of a game at the same time.
The Nike+ FuelBand is a decent fitness aid, however it does have some shortcomings. It is in its element when you are doing cardiovascular exercise, like running, cross trainers or hockey, but if your main form of exercise is body building or weight training, it might seem like a waste of money.
Once you get accustomed to wearing it, you are more obsessed about hitting your goals, which means that you are looking at doing more exercise to reach your targets, which I've noticed as being a great help.
The graphics and charts that the FuelBand provides either on the phone or the computer, do give you a good idea of when you are most active and helps you to identify times of the day when you could be doing a little bit more.
If you are a goal oriented person and wants an additional challenge to your fitness regimen, I'd recommend the Nike+ FuelBand. However, if your fitness routines revolve around free weights, I'd say that your money would be spent better elsewhere.
- Well designed and fashionable gadget
- Good set of features
- Complimented well with online and mobile features
- Great motivator tool
- Water resistant
- Great for cardio vascular exercise
- Great for goal oriented people
- Helps identify times of day when you can do more
- Pushes you to do more
- Device can be cheated
- Does not work too well on weight and power training exercises
- Doesn't pick up moves from push-ups
- Box came with no stand for dock.
- Calorie and step counts might not be that accurate

Hidden beneath the headlines of Vice President Joe Biden's visit to China this week is the news that he will make a brief side trip to Mongolia on Aug. 22, the first visit by a sitting vice president to the mineral-rich Asian nation since Henry Wallace toured the region in 1944.
Biden will enjoy the pomp and circumstance of a state visit Mongolia-style, which will consist of archery, wrestling and horse racing. But there are some important reasons for the visit, said Richard Bush, director of Northeast Asian policy studies at the Brookings Institution. For starters, the visit is a potent symbol to Mongolia's two large neighbors, China and Russia, that the U.S. would not be pleased with any interference with the 21-year-old democracy, Bush said.
Mongolia is home to some of the world's richest deposits of key minerals such as copper, coal, gold and uranium. It also produces other lesser-known minerals like molybdenum, which can withstand extreme temperatures and is used in aircraft parts and armor. There\'s also deposits of fluorspar, used in making a slew of products including thermoplastics such as Teflon, drugs, hydrofluoric acid and lenses. The U.S. Defense Department uses fluorspar for priority weapons systems and the European Union has placed it on its worldwide shortage list until 2030.
Bush said he hopes Biden will stress to the Mongolian government that it must take steps to avoid descending into an authoritarian government. This is the common path of other resource-based economies like the countries of the Middle East, where elites end up in control of the mineral deposits.
"When you base your political economy on natural resources, funny things happen to your politics," Bush said.

John Lennon
News about John Lennon, including commentary and archival articles published in The New York Times. More
The Beatles united a generation of young people with their songs, their attitudes and their sense of style, and John Lennon was the thinking man's Beatle. Of the four, he was the Beatle who wrote books, the Beatle who embroiled the group in a potentially disastrous controversy by suggesting in an interview that they were more popular than Jesus, the Beatle who embraced the poetic innovations of Bob Dylan in the mid-1960's and shocked Beatles fans by jumping into performance art, happenings and political protests in the late 60's and early 70's.
He was the Beatle who announced in one of his first solo albums after the breakup of the Beatles that "The Dream is Over" - the dream of community through peace, love, mysticism and psychedelic drugs that the Beatles had encouraged and advertised.
And yet, paradoxically, Mr. Lennon never lost sight of that dream. "The media are saying that the 60's were stupid and naive," he remarked only a month before his death. "But look at how much of what was sniggered about in the 60's has become mainstream - health food, therapies and all the rest. And love and peace weren't invented in the 60's. What about Gandhi? What about Christ? The naivete is to buy the idea that the 60's were naive." — Robert Palmer

underpainting needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 102 designs submitted by 35 freelance designers.
We are working on a line of robot characters for a Flash series and because we are not terribly skilled artists, we need revisions to our existing designs for use in our Flash cartoons.
We'll start out with the redesign of the protagonist.
Follow the link below to find a basic vector sketch of "Max", the main character in our series. What we need is a more professional looking design, something that gives Max more personality, more depth, and more life.
Max must retain a fair semblance of the original art. Please do not design something new. We want to breathe life into Max, not recreate him.
Max is a robot who lives on the moon with thousands of other robots, good and bad, after the destruction of the Earth and the subsequent extinction of the human race. Max is good-hearted and kind—the leader of the good robots. However, he is no stranger to a fight. He is also one of the most powerful robots, a protector of leaders and a scientist in his previous life among the humans. Max can fire powerful energy blasts from his hands and fly to great heights at great speeds with his awesome jet.
Because this character will be used in Flash animations, we need a
number of expressions and mouth positions for character dialog. We
would like to see Max mad, sad, perplexed, bored, angry, joyful, and
heroic. For the phonems, we'll need the sounds: th, oh, fv, ech, cee, ahh, em, and a resting mouth.
In at least one shot he should be shown firing his weapon.

Pre-Season, Pre-Race Interview With 2013 IICS Champion Scott Dixon
We are sitting down for a brief conversation with open wheel race car driver and 2013 IZOD IndyCar Series Champion, Australian born, New Zealand native Scott Dixon. Welcome to the program.
The occasion finds Scott preparing for the first race of an 18 race season - the temporary street course at The Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg - that will showcase for the first time, points modifications for hitting milage marks, and later in the season, double points awarded for the three 500-mile events at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Pocono Raceway and Auto Club Speedway.
With the Dallara DW12 going into its third year and coming off of one of the most competitive years in recent memory some fans who had turned their back on open wheel racing in North America may be missing out on some of the most competitive car racing on the planet. It is not the same bunch of 3 or 4 drivers winning all the time. 2013 not only witnessed Scott Dixon's third series championship, it saw 10 drivers from seven different teams climb the podium over the 19 races — four drivers for the first time.
|Juan Pablo Montoyoa explains the difference between driving a 'Cup' car and a Dallara DW12. Dixon's TCGR team-mate Charlie Kimball and Penske Racing team-mate Will Power enjoy the exchange. Image Credit: Edmund Jenks (2014)
Juan Pablo Montoya is returning to open-wheel racing for the first time since he left Formula 1 for NASCAR in 2006, this time with Team Penske. Coincidentally, 2006 was the last year Roger Penske Racing claimed an IndyCar Series Championship title.
|New Dixon team-mate Ryan Briscoe studies the information displayed on the DW12 steering wheel. Briscoe and Tony Kanaan bring considerable Chevy engine experience to the four car Ganassi team. Image Credit: Edmund Jenks (2014)
At Chip Ganassi Racing, Franchitti's seat has been filled by reigning Indianapolis 500 champion Tony Kanaan. A fourth car has been added to the team to compliment you, Scott Dixon – with Kanaan and Kimball - for the return of Australian driver Ryan Briscoe, who parted ways with Team Penske at the end of 2012 and spent 2013 picking up rides between IndyCar Series and sports-car series.
Ganassi has also changed engines — from Honda to Chevrolet.
With this as a background going into the first race of the season …
Interview Audio File >>>
1. Does the combination of a four car team and an engine manufacturer switch to Chevy at Fontana last season make it harder to defend your title in 2014?
2. It appears as if you have a combination of team-mates in Kanaan, Kimball, and Briscoe who have relatively calm personalities, does this make intramural sharing easier or is it more competitive under the surface?
3. Obviously, Juan Pablo Montoya is back with a ride in open wheel racing …. the early money says that while he will be getting a grip on things, his nature will see him in a controversy … mainly with a Ganassi car … are you guys keeping an extra eye on him at St. Pete?
4. What do you think of the complexity of the new rules for double points at the three big 500 mile oval races scheduled for Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Pocono Raceway and Auto Club Speedway? Should the Verizon IndyCar Series awarding more points for particular races or mileage marks?
5. Michele Rahal, our Motorsports Unplugged president and Formula One expert, says that the IndyCar Series, right now, is the best open wheel product in the world, given all the confusion in GP and the close lap-times being shown at the IndyCar test at Barber … what is your opinion?
Come on out to see reigning AND 3-time IndyCar Series Champion Scott Dixon compete, who, of course, will be hoping to repeat this year, as the Verizon IndyCar Series kicks off on Sunday, March 30 … with the opener at the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, Fla. … followed by the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach on April 13.

If it's a full custom chip, figure a "first chip" cost of $2M. (layout, a couple spins, etc., but assuming you know basically what the chip is supposed to do and how to do it) I work with a fair number of very low volume but fairly complex chips (intended for space applications, but not in Class S quality grade) and they all seem to run about $5K to $10K each, which must be a sort of basic price for them to build small runs where there's not a huge NRE. Things like MOSIS (http://www.mosis.org/) (or Atmel's equivalent, the name of which I forget) can be less expensive, but probably not for something of this scale. $5K probably covers the cost of running the wafer, dicing, testing, and putting it in a package, in quantities of <100. So, to get the $50/chip cost, you need an order of 40,000-50,000 pieces. >So bare production price of this card i estimate at around 250 dollar.

When I was working for a developer of retail products, we'd figure retail selling price is 10x material cost.

Under that condition you offer $200k for 200 cards. But they're not going to even be able to cover a fraction of the development cost for that. But, perhaps, if they are thinking about "buying market share" with OPM (other people's money). It's been done, more than once. Jim

BOSTON, Mass.—UMass Boston's largest senior class in program history made sure they were going to have a successful Senior Day, as the Beacons' (7-8, 4-1 Little East) seniors dominated en route to an 8-1 victory over Salem State University (0-10, 0-5 Little East) Friday afternoon at the B.C. High Tennis Courts.
UMass Boston recognized Lyle Analetto (Belmont, Mass.), Eglis Bizhoti (Kucovë, Albania), Sean Cullen (Medway, Mass.), Mark Grinhaus (Scarsdale, N.Y.), Charles Lai (Boston, Mass.) and Brian Sou (Revere, Mass.) before the match, and then the group of six seniors went out and became the fifth class in program history to reach the 30-win mark.
Cullen, Lai, Bizhoti, Grinhaus and freshman Jack Wang (Suzhou, China) all went 2-0 on the afternoon to help UMass Boston clinch a top-three seed in next week's Little East Conference Tournament. UMass Boston can grab a top-two seed and a bye to the semifinals with a victory over Rhode Island College Sunday, or if the University of Southern Maine defeats Western Connecticut State University Saturday afternoon.
The Beacons opened the match with a sweep of doubles, as the Beacons' three doubles teams gave up just three total games.
Cullen and Lai dominated the Vikings' top pair 8-0, with the senior partners finishing off the Vikings in just over 15 minutes.
It didn't take Bizhoti and Grinhaus much longer to finish off their second doubles opponents, as the two seniors knocked off Conner Erickson and David Dluznieski in convincing fashion by an 8-1 score.
After a slow start, Sou and Wang came on strong, and closed out their opponents at third doubles 8-2.
Cullen kept his momentum from doubles play into singles, as the Beacons' top-flight singles player scored a 6-2, 6-0 match victory over Erickson.
Lai clinched the match moments later; as he cruised to a 6-0, 6-1 win over Sean Rose at number two singles.
UMass Boston tacked on a sixth point at number five singles, as Wang continued his strong play as of late, with an impressive 6-1, 6-0 victory over Dluznieski.
Grinhaus improved to 8-4 in singles in his first season as a collegiate tennis player, as the former hockey player grabbed a 6-3, 6-0 win over Jake McKinnon.
Bizhoti improved to 4-0 against his former team, as he claimed a 6-3, 6-1 win at number three singles over Kevin Lam.
Rene Perez earned the Vikings their sole point of the day, as the freshman tallied a 6-3, 7-5 win over Sou at sixth-singles.
UMass Boston will finish off their regular-season schedule Sunday at 3 p.m. when they travel to take on the Anchormen of Rhode Island College.

Using a needle or syringe contaminated with HIV-infected blood can cause you to become infected. Do not share needles with anyone.
Remember that people may not even be aware that they have HIV.
If you are at high risk, talk to your doctor about taking medication to reduce your risk of infection. You may be considered high risk if you:
Also, if you have a known exposure to HIV, medications may be given to decrease your risk of getting the infection.
HIV is transmitted through infected blood and body fluids. When caring for patients:
Blood products are screened for HIV, but there is still a small risk because tests cannot detect HIV immediately after transmission. To reduce your risk of contracting HIV through blood products, consider donating your own blood for elective surgical procedures.

I need to increase the amount of RNA i am getting. I have a number of aliquots of recently extracted rna (approx 200ng of RNA per tube (20ul volume)). I need to be able to get approx 5ug of RNA in total for the next experiment.This means i would need to perform a further 25 extractions and combine all the aliquots together to get approx 5ug in total for sequencing.
If anyone had any other ideas as to how to improve total amount of RNA. In combining all the aliquots together i wont lose any RNA will i?, but i could change the quality (I check all the RNA on an agilent PICO chip (RINs are between 5.7-6.9).
Could i post cleanup this entire pool that i make? Is there a good protocol for this. Again would i lose RNA?

How are you preparing the RNA....RNeasy, Trizol, other? and from what source...tissues, cells, plants, soil etc. Need more info to be of much help
Posted 06 January 2010 - 04:34 PM
Im using an rneasy plus mini column to extract rna from my sorted cells.I only get approx 200ng rna from my sorted cells. I need to get around 1-5ug for sequenicng. Is it best to combine the rna aliquots asnd then clean this up or combine the sorted cells and do one big rna extraction

Posted 07 January 2010 - 12:28 AM
I guess it would be better to pool the cells and then do one isolation than to do a lot of them with less number of cells...How many cells do you use per extraction? is your yield correlating with the expected?


text: One thing to check is that the switch and NIC are negotiating duplex correctly... Duplex mis-negotiation (ie switch full, NIC half) used to be a fairly common cause of FCS errors, although this is rare now as drivers have gotten a lot better. What will happen is the Full duplex station will transmit when the half duplex station is sending, causing it to think it has seen a collision, whereupon it ceases transmission and you have a packet fragment with no FCS. FCS errored frames will be dropped by the switch, so performance will be horrible. One easy way to fix this is to set duplex on both ends of the connection to 10000/full and retest. HTH - Steve P -----Original Message----- From: beowulf-bounces at beowulf.org [mailto:beowulf-bounces at beowulf.org] On Behalf Of Jon Forrest Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2007 4:52 PM To: beowulf at beowulf.org Subject: [Beowulf] How to Diagnose Cause of Cluster Ethernet Errors? I've been pulling out what little hair I have left while trying to figure out a bizarre problem with a Linux cluster I'm running. Here's a short description of the problem. I'm managing a 29-node cluster. All the nodes use the same hardware and boot the same kernel image (Scientific Linux 4.4, linux 2.6.9). The owner of this cluster runs a multi-node MPI job over and over with different input data. We've been seeing strange performance numbers depending on which nodes the job uses. These variations are not due to the input data. In some combinations the performance is an order of magnitude slower than in others. Fooling around with replacing the gigabit ethernet switch, replacing two of the nodes, and running memtest all day long didn't result in anything interesting. However, today I took a look at the network statistics as shown on the ethernet switch (a Netgear GS748T). What I saw was 13 of the 29 switch ports had very large numbers of FCS (Frame Checksum Sequence) errors. In fact, some had more FCS errors than valid frames, and I'm talking about frame counts in the billions. All the other ports showed 0 FCS errors. So, something is clearly wrong. What I'm wondering is what's causing these FCS errors. The cables are short and the equipment is new. All the nodes use new SuperMicro H8DCR-3 motherboards with onboard ethernet controllers so I'm having trouble believing that this problem is caused by a faulty ethernet controller because this would mean that 13 out of 29 controllers are bad. Running "ifconfig eth0" on the nodes show no errors but I'm not sure if this kind of error is detectable by the sender, and I'm guessing that packets with FCS errors are dropped by the switch. Could the switch be making a mistake while under heavy load when computing the FCS values? I'd like to find the definitive cause of the problem before I ask the vendor to replace massive amounts of hardware. How would you isolate the cause of this problem?

Will Allen learned the lesson when he joined the Steelers, now he wants to spread it to the Cowboys.
The veteran free agent safety who signed with the Cowboys this offseason said he thinks his new team can share the same physical characteristics as his old one.
"The first thing Ryan Clark and Troy Polamalu and Ike Taylor and those guys said to me when I walked into the defensive back room, was if you don't stick your face in the thing, you can't be on this defense," Allen said, via Carlos Mendez of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "If you aren't ready to hit — we don't care about interceptions — if you aren't ready to hit, we don't need you.
"That's a mentality. If you aren't trying to hit, you can forget about it."
Allen also comes with the background of having played in new Cowboys coordinator Monte Kiffin's system in Tampa, so the combination of background and toughness is something they were hoping to add. But clearly the time with the Steelers made an impression, and he wants the Cowboys to start making impressions on others.
"Those Pittsburgh guys are mean on the field … to everybody," Allen said. "It's not just taboo. It's not something you just say. You really believe it. You really mean it. It's your mindset because everybody's accountable to each other. And hopefully we can build that same accountability here on the back end, everybody from Brandon Carr to Mo Claiborne.
"I don't care how you bring them down, but we're going to hit. We're going to let these receivers know we mean business. I think that's the mentality we've got to adopt and have in every game."
Spreading a message of physical play is nothing new, but at least Allen had the good sense to not sound like a nut, as Bernard Pollard did last week.

August 2011 planted a triangle palm.
This is growing really well, quite impressed really.
Im getting quite excited about this one as its really thickening up at the base and starting to look less like somethin I just brought at the shop and shoved into the ground and more like a plant that actually lives there. And also you can really see from the photos that its much larger than it used to be which cant be said for quite a few of the other plants such as the coconut, christmas and blueberry to name a few.
The one in the front is doing well, most noticably its base which is easily 5-6 inches across and visibly impressive. The foilage looks ok. The one in the back is still establishing itself but looks quite settled. It was more mature but still its base is not as big as the one in the front. Photo shows weeds which are actually 6-12 inches tall, note how you cant see any brick wall or the label or even much of the 'tall' catcus to the right. Surviving weeds is something all my plants must do.
Seems to be doing OK, the base stem is noticably thicker and it has a nice new shoot. Also, I got a 7 gallon Triangle Palm from Home Depot for $19 which you can see in the photos. Its a mega cheat but im not so fussed.
Im trying to expand my collection of palms. Hopefully it will grow. This is the most demanding part of the garden as it gets the most sun.

Alyssa Johnson of Southside loves her little brother so much that she would do anything to help him grow up to be big and strong.
Alyssa Johnson of Southside loves her little brother so much that she would do anything to help him grow up to be big and strong.
Her brother, 22-month-old Blaze Brewster, has problems eating. He has a weak immune system, which means he gets sick a lot. Those illnesses and hospitalizations have slowed his development, forcing the family to seek outside help.
Specialized help can be expensive, but fortunately, the family can turn to Hand in Hand Early Intervention. Hand in Hand, however, is a nonprofit company that does not charge for its services. So Alyssa decided she needed to help those who are helping the brother so dear to her.
She put a new twist on an age-old idea, setting up a stand to sell sweet goodies to passersby. Instead of lemonade, however, she sells frozen pops to those who need a break from the Alabama heat.
Alyssa's frozen pops stand has run from Monday to Friday and attracted all sorts of local officials, from police officers to members of the water works. Neighbors also have shown up to give their support, buying bunches of frozen pops each time.
All the money she raises will be donated to Hand in Hand.
She thought she could keep it secret and surprise her mother, Stephanie Brewster, but as usual, Mom always knows when her daughter is up to something.
Hand in Hand Service Coordinator Cathy Donahue said Alyssa's devotion to her brother is obvious.
"She will help her brother any way she can," Donahue said. "She thought of this (frozen pops) thing all by herself."
When Blaze started at Hand in Hand, he was 13 months old, wasn't walking and was eating only Stage 2 baby foods. Today, he is like every other toddler, running in every direction and causing trouble and mayhem everywhere he goes.
"We call him Destructo because he's always into something," Alyssa said.
Donahue called Blaze one of their success stories and said they always are bragging about him to anyone who will listen. She said the progress he has made is remarkable.
One of his biggest issues, however, is that he doesn't eat. The repeated illnesses have given him a bit of an aversion to food, which means the muscles in his mouth also are underdeveloped, impacting his speech. He now eats table food and will even munch on crackers. He also says some basic words like "ma ma" and "da da."
Donahue said one of the main things Hand in Hand does is work with the families of the children who are delayed for one reason or another. The approach is family-centered, and the program will provide people to visit and do therapy at home. She said Blaze does just as well at home as in the office, which is a good sign.
She expects he will catch up with his peers at some point and will become a typical kid, and said the support he receives at home is a huge asset toward his future.
His mother said he already is a typical boy who enjoys spending time with his dad, running through puddles and playing in the dirt.
Alyssa's experience with her brother and with Hand in Hand also has helped her decide what she wants to do when she grows up. She wants to be just like those who work to help her little brother thrive.
"I want to be an occupational therapist, because I like how they get to work with babies," she said.

Nurse Admits Error That Lead To The Death Of A Baby
A nurse has admitted his guilt following the death of a premature baby after forgetting to turn on a machine that helped the boy breath.
British nurse Craig Wilson admitted ''causing or contributing'' the tot's death following a tragic mistake before he took a break.
The error was found when a colleague discovered the boy, born 13 weeks early, was cold, according to the Daily Record.
When Wilson returned to work after his break, Wilson said: "F***, I forgot to turn it on." The baby died later that day at Glasgow's Princess Royal Maternity Unit.
A fellow nurse told the hearing that she had set up the humidifier and all Wilson had to do ''switch it on''.
The nurse now faces being struck off the Nursing and Midwifery Council list.
The Case Presenter said that the baby had been making good progress in an incubator after being born at 27 weeks but following the mistake, he died of hypothermia and multiple organ failures.
Wilson admitted he had recorded the humidifier as being turned on and initially said someone else had turned it off.
The nurse has now admitted he was at fault and admits responsibility.

Voice of the Imagi-Nation
Voice of the Imagi-Nation was a science fiction fanzine by Forrest J Ackerman and Myrtle Douglas (MoRoJo).
Just prior to starting Voice of the Imagi-Nation, Forrest Ackerman had edited Imagination! for the Los Angeles Science Fiction Society from 1937 till 1938. Voice of the Imagi-Nation was originally a letter column in that fanzine, but was turned into a zine on its own by Ackerman the year after Imagination! ceased publishing. Starting in 1939, it included short essays, articles and fan art. It was the volatile letter column, however, which made "VOM", as it was known, famous among fans.
Contributors included Leslie Croutch (Light), Claude Degler, in his first appearance in print, Henry Kuttner, writing on Satanism, art work by Hannes Bok, Tigrina (Vice Versa) also writing on Satanism, and more than two hundred fans writing letters.
During 1941, Voice of the Imagi-Nation was a split zine with Shangri L'Affaires, of which Ackerman had been one of everal editors.
For the duration of World War II, Voice of the Imagi-Nation was a frequent split zine with Futurian War Digest. As well, Ackerman organized fans in the U.S. to ship over unwanted paper to editor Michael Rosenblum to print Futurian War Digest on, since there was a shortage of paper in the UK during the war.
The last issue, #50 appeared in 1947.
In the 1990s, Voice of the Imagi-Nation won the Retro-Hugo Award For Best Fanzine, for 1947 and Forrest Ackerman won the Retro Hugo Award for Best Fan Writer.

This cable hanger is made to fit around the oversize bolt on their Constrictor seatpost clamp so you can be sure it will fit around almost any other seatpost clamp bolt too. It comes complete with an adjusting barrel.

It's specifically designed for bikes that feature 12mm horizontal, vertical-slotted dropouts and is particularly suited for singlespeed application. Snuggnut is CNC-machined for durability and good looks, and shares many design features found on Tuggnut and Hurdy Gurdy. Note: The Snuggnut is compatible with horizontal thru-axle dropouts only.

The 12mm slotted MDS dropout is the newest chip for Surly's MDS equipped trail frames. You like chips, don't you? The 12mm slotted dropout chip uses a standard derailleur mount for maximum compatibility and is made of cast and machined 6061-T6 aluminum, with a fender eyelet. What's the coolest part about the 12mm slotted MDS chip, you ask? The fact that it also has the capability to run a 12 x 142mm thru-axle in a single speed configuration. This is good news because single speeds are good news. When you get an MDS equipped frame you're getting the option to set it up however you want. You can run a 142 x 12mm thru-axle rear end with a direct mount Shimano hanger, standard 135mm QR or The Mighty Singlespeed. The way this will work is that Surly complete bikes that feature the MDS will ship with whatever chip is compatible with derailleur spec. For instance, the complete Instigator 2.0 ships with the 142 x 12mm thru-axle Shimano chip. If you want to change it to a singlespeed later (and why wouldn't you?), all you have to do is get the SS chip. Frames will ship with all three MDS chips so pick your poison. The 142 x 12mm and 135mm QR chips are made of cast and machined 6061-T6 aluminum and The Mighty Singlespeed chip is 304 stainless steel, because the two words 'aluminum' and 'singlespeed' should never be too close to each other. Bad things can happen…. As you can see, the MDS gives you not just different build options, it lets you use a more varied selection of parts for your frame up builds. The MDS is featured on most of our trail bikes. That's right: Krampus Ops, Karate Monkey Ops, Instigator 2.0 and Ice Cream Truck frames all sport these puppies.
A well-exercised dog is a happy dog, so give Fido a good workout while you ride! Sunlite's Dog Leash consists of a metal bar that mounts under the rear axle bolt or quick-release and straps to your chainstay. This keeps the center of gravity low so you stay stable if your dog pulls to one side. The bar is long enough to keep your pup away from the bike, too.
$55.99 - $79.99
The Problem Solvers Cable Doublers are made of light, durable machined and anodized aluminum and they are Teflon coated for a super-smooth cable pull every time. They come in two models. The first allows you to control two brakes with one lever. The second allows you to control one brake with two levers. Why? Well, there are myriad applications: tandems, cyclocross bikes, fixies, tricycles, recumbents, cycles for those with special needs, bike polo bicycles, those 4-person bikes you see on beach boulevards, and so on. You could even link both models of Cable Doublers together for the ultimate in redundancy!
When you need to move your handlebars up, install Sunlite's Chromoly Quill Stem Extender. One end goes inside the steerer tube and your quill stem inserts into the top. It provides 8 1/4 inches of rise and is compatible only with quill stems and steerer tubes.
Shimano's In-Line Brake Cable Adjuster with quick release allows you to make changes to your road caliper brake's cable tension or open a brake caliper's arms to remove a wheel.

Up until recently the diamond industry had a structural flaw — just one player controlled it. De Beers was the diamond industry, and diamonds were synonymous with De Beers. However, over the last 25 years, a series of events led to the dismantling of the De Beers monopoly. Today, De Beers no longer has complete control of the diamond industry, and for the first time in a century, market forces, not the De Beers monopoly, drive the diamond market.
In the late 1800s after a massive diamond discovery in South Africa, a diamond rush was born, and businessman Cecil Rhodes bought as many diamond mining claims as he could, including farmland owned by the De Beer family. By the turn of the century, Rhodes had accumulated enough properties that his company accounted for the majority of the world's supply of rough diamonds. He called his company De Beers Consolidated Mines Limited.
As De Beers maintained a hold on the worlds rough diamond supply through the first quarter of the 20th century, financer Ernest Oppenheimer began accumulating shares of De Beers whenever available, and reached a controlling stake of the company by the mid-1920s. Under Oppenheimer's control, De Beers further expanded into every facet of the diamond industry, intent on monopolizing distribution. De Beers successfully influenced just about all of the world's rough suppliers to sell production through the De Beers channel, gaining control of the global supply not produced by De Beers mines. The cartel was born, giving Oppenheimer the power to influence diamond supply and thus diamond prices.
The De Beers distribution channel, named the Central Selling Organization or CSO, (later changed to Diamond Trading Co. or DTC), had the power to sell what, when, and where they wanted to. In order to buy from CSO, membership as a "Sightholder" was required, which was completely the discretion of De Beers, as was the quality and price of the product being sold. No negotiation between the CSO and Sightholder occurred, all transactions were take-it-or-leave-it. In order to maintain a stable but rising diamond price, De Beers had the power to stockpile inventory in a weak market or raise the prices charged to Sightholders, and then in an excessively strong price environment (with the potential to damage demand), De Beers had the excess supply on hand to release to the market when needed, repressing disorderly price increases.
To keep the system intact, it was necessary for De Beers to maintain control of the world's rough diamond supply via purchases through CSO. In the second half of the 20th century, as new world class mines were discovered in Russia, Australia and Canada, it became more and more difficult for De Beers to purchase all global production. The biggest risk to the survival of the cartel was for mines to begin selling directly to the market, thus bypassing De Beers.
Source: WWW International Diamond Consultants Ltd, Economic Times of India, and Authors analysis.
Russia (present day the world's largest diamond producer by value) began producing diamonds in the mid-twentieth century. At first, the Russians agreed to sell production to De Beers keeping the cartel intact. However, this quickly became extremely costly to De Beers as the Russian mines produced greater quantity and lower quality stones than anticipated. This prompted De Beers to commence the "Diamond is forever" marketing campaign, transforming the image of diamonds to a proxy for love, expanding demand of lower quality stones to a new middle class American market, in an effort to absorb the new supply. Another challenge emerged in 1963 when Anti-Apartheid legislation restrained the Soviet Union from dealing with a South African company. But the final blow to the arrangement came during the Soviet Union collapse in the 1990s, when political chaos and a weak ruble further separated Russia's production from De Beers.

Gloria Careaga, ILGA Co-secretary General at the 5th ILGA Asia Conference in Bangkok
Interview with Gloria Careaga Pérez who is a long-time feminist, LGBTI activist and social psychologist and currently serves ILGA as Co-Secretary General.
--- Is this your first time in Bangkok?
No. This is my second time.
--- How's your second time in Bangkok?
I am very happy to be at the ILGA-Asia conference. Unfortunately, I haven't had any time to go out. When I was here for the first time 5-6 years ago, I got to see temples. I am very happy to see the Asia region evolving and increasing numbers of people who have come to the conference. It gives me a lot of hope and enthusiasm.
--- Gloria, you are from Mexico. You've been involved with LGBTI movement in Latin America and Caribbean. Can you share with us the general LGBTI situations in your region?
Latin America has been growing relatively easily because LGBTI people or behaviors are not criminalized in most of the countries in the region. Main problem is criminalization of homosexuality in Caribbean countries due to the influence of colonization by British Empire.
In some of the Latin American countries, we used to military occupancy and people had a very big fight against this totalitarian organization. People fought for democracy and human rights. These experiences brought us in the region us specific pictures, perspectives and tools that some people in other regions do not have in order for us to demand protection of human rights.
Latin American region has been proactive within ILGA. Our challenge is to maintain critical view and to remain very active within the organization.
In my view, different countries in Latin America have different situations. I mean, there are some governments that call themselves "revolutionary" or "leftist" These countries are Venezuela, Nicaragua, Ecuador and Cuba that often come together fighting against capitalism. But they haven't really reached a clear position on LGBTI issues. We still have these countries that are not fully committed or don't have clear political view on our rights.
Other countries in the region are much more open and have clearer position in favor of our rights. So, that makes it easier for us to work. In my country, Mexico, we had a conservative party in the government for twelve years but it's over now. We expect that things will become much better. I must stress though that there's still a lot of work to be done in Latin America and Caribbean. We need to change not only the governments, laws and public policies but also sexist and patriarchal culture that remains in this region.
--- Can you tell us, LGBTI folks in Asia about how ILGA works?
Sure. I understand that it's not clear what ILGA is that for many people. Some people might see international organizations as a funder or somebody who would support your work financially. But ILGA is not that kind of organization.
ILGA is a membership-based association consists of more than 1000 organizations from all over the world. We are very proud of that. We are a big umbrella under which we all work together to work for the protection of our rights and to exchange among us experiences, strategies and needs to define plan of actions.
ILGA has been organized in six different regions and these different regions send two representatives to the world board. Besides regional representatives, Women's Secretariat, Trans Secretariat, Intersex Secretariat and two Co-Secretary Generals compose the board and work to define how we are going to develop plan of actions which have been approved by the world conference which the ILGA's general assembly held every two years.
We decided to have six different regions in ILGA because the needs and the challenges of every region are very different. Every region defines their own agendas and strategies for the protection of their rights. We are diverse not only in our sexualities and identities but also in our economic, geographic, cultural and other situations. The specificities of each region bring ILGA a better-respected of the group and this really enriches the association.
--- Tell us about the workshops at this conference that interested and impressed you.
For me, it was very interesting to be in the discussion on the plan of actions. In the workshop, I saw people who were really thinking about situations, obstacles and possibilities that ILGA can reach in next years. The workshop gave me an opportunity to understand the LGBTI situations and future in Asia.
--- You're leaving tonight for the regional conference in Brazil. What do you expect to happen in Brazil? (Learn about "regional conference in Brazil" at a blog post " HYPERLINK "http://ilgatheraisingphoenix.blogspot.jp/2013/03/towards-new-sogi-resolution-at-un.html" Towards New SOGI Resolution at UN.")
It'll be an opportunity to see the UN capacities on LGBTI issues. I hope that we'll have many government delegations that would participate deeply and are committed.
I'm afraid that a particular situation happening in Brazil, which is about the priest sitting in their Human Rights Commission, might make some noise against the meeting. I do hope our presence, activists from different countries will bring not only hope for the LGBTI work at the UN-level but also for an opportunity for Brazilians to pressure their government about the situation.
Overall, I am enthusiastic. We've been very well-prepared for the meeting. We know what we are going to do. We know the situation in Brazil. I believe that we'll make a new step in favor of our rights.
