The University of Montana (often simply referred to as UM)[3] is a public research university in Missoula, Montana, in the United States. Founded in 1893, the university is the second largest [4]of the Montana University System, second to Montana State University, and the flagship campus of the University of Montana System. The main campus is at the foot of Mount Sentinel, the hill bearing Missoula's most recognizable landmark, a large hillside letter "M."
The University of Montana ranks 17th in the nation and fifth among public universities in producing Rhodes Scholars, with 28 such scholars.[5] The University of Montana has 11 Truman Scholars, 14 Goldwater Scholars and 40[6] Udall Scholars to its name.[7]
The University of Montana's Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library houses the earliest authorized edition of the Lewis and Clark journals. Rolling Stone labelled the university the "most scenic campus in America"[8] and Outside magazine called it "among the top 10 colleges nationally for combining academic quality and outdoor recreation".[8]
An act of Congress of February 18, 1881 dedicated 72 sections (46,000 acres or 19,000 hectares) in Montana Territory for the creation of the University.
Montana was admitted to the Union on November 8, 1889, and the Montana Legislature soon began to consider where the state's permanent capital and state university would be located. To be sure that the new state university would be located in Missoula, the city's leaders made an agreement with the standing capital of Helena that Missoula would stay out of the bidding for the new capital and would support Helena over its leading competitor, Anaconda. The cities' bids were supported by the rival "Copper Kings," William A. Clark and Marcus Daly, respectively.
Missoula won the legislative vote for the new university at the Third Montana Legislative Assembly in February 1893. The University was formally opened in 1895. While plans for a university campus were progressing, classes were temporarily held at nearby Willard School. The South Missoula Land Company, owned by A.B. Hammond, Richard Eddy and Marcus Daly, joined with the Higgins family in donating land for the new campus. In June 1898 the cornerstone for A.J. Gibson designed University Hall was laid and Missoula became "the University City."

For the fall 2014 term, University of Montana offered admission to 4,956 freshmen out of 5,345 applicants, an acceptance rate of 92.7%. The entering freshman class had an average high school GPA of 3.31, and the middle 50% range of SAT scores were 490-610 for critical reading, 490-590 for math, and 470-580 for writing, while the ACT Composite range was 20–26.[13]
The original plan of the University campus was designed by one of its first professors, Frederich Scheuch, who called for the central oval to be surrounded by immediate and future University buildings. Although Scheuch's plan called for all building entrances to face the center of the Oval, forming a radiating building pattern, buildings were later constructed with three-story in the Renaissance Revival style, with hipped roofs and Spanish green roof tiles.
The first set of buildings were set up around the oval in 1895. Since that time, various campus plans and architectural styles have been used. Today the campus consists of 220 acres (89 ha) and is bordered to the east by Mount Sentinel and the north by the Clark Fork River. The main campus comprises 64 buildings, including nine residence halls and various athletic venues, including Washington–Grizzly Stadium, a 26,500-seat football stadium and the Adams Center (formerly, Dahlberg Arena), a 7,500-seat multi-purpose arena where the university's basketball teams play.
Landmarks include:
- The Oval
A 3 acres (1.2 ha) swath of grass running east to west, marking the traditional center of the university. Today it is divided into quadrants by two intersecting brick-laid paths, though originally the oval was solid grass and forbidden to be crossed by students. A double row of trees was planted around the oval on Arbor Day 1896, but many of the trees have since died and are in the process of being replanted. The original gravel driveway that once surrounded the Oval has also been replaced by sidewalk. The original master plan of the university called for all buildings to face the center of the oval, but this plan proved difficult and a new plan was created in 1935.
On the western extreme of the Oval is a life-sized grizzly bear statue created by ceramic artist and sculptor Rudy Autio in 1969.[14] The bronze statue is 7-feet tall and weighs 5000 pounds and took one year to create.[15] Many photographs of the university picture the bear with the Oval, University (Main) Hall, and Mount Sentinel's 'M' in the background.
- The "M" trail
A 3/4 mile long trail with 13 switchbacks that rises 620 feet (from 3,200 feet to 3,820) from the University of Montana at the base of Mount Sentinel. The trail offers sweeping views of the city below.
There is debate of when "The 'M'" was first placed on Mount Sentinel. Around 1908, members of the Forestry Club forged a zigzag trail up the mountain and students carried up stones to shape the symbol of the University of Montana. Originally made of whitewashed rocks and only measuring 25 feet by 25 feet, the very first "M" was poorly constructed and ultimately replaced by a wooden "M" in 1912, which cost $18. That "M," unlike today's "M," stood upright on the face of Mount Sentinel. A larger wooden version of the "M" was built in 1913 and upkeep of the structure was formally charged to each year's freshman class.
When the large wooden "M" was destroyed by a blizzard in 1915, an even larger version was constructed of whitewashed granite. Once again the freshman class was tasked with annual renovation of the symbol, beginning a new tradition. Each year from then on, University of Montana freshmen made the hike up to the "M" to apply a fresh coat of whitewash and remove any weeds and grass that had grown in and around the structure.
The annual tradition ended in 1968 when a 125-by-100-foot concrete "M" was built at a cost of $4,328. Behind the decision to replace rock with concrete were maintenance issues; with the coming of the 1960s, UM students exhibited waning enthusiasm for the annual trek up the hill and for annual upkeep of the "M." Although the annual whitewashing went by the wayside, one tradition that lives on today is the lighting of the "M" during the University's annual Homecoming celebration each fall. Originally lit by a group of students on October 9, 1919 following the fall whitewashing, the event was so popular that students have continued to light the "M" each year during Homecoming week; special beacons light up the giant letter, welcoming former students back to the University.[16]
- Memorial Row
On the north side of campus, 29 evergreen trees stand in two columns forming Memorial Row along what used to be the path of Van Buren Avenue. The trees, running from the corner of the Oval to Eddy Avenue, were planted in 1919 following the end of the Great War to honor UM students, alumni, and faculty who died in the war, some to combat and many more to the influenza epidemic. The trees are Pinus ponderosa (Western Yellow Pines or Ponderosa Pine), the state tree of Montana. Originally, a white T-board stood in front of each tree, with the name of the person whom it honors; in 1925, these were replaced with 35 brass nameplates atop concrete markers. At the same time, the university added a memorial tablet on a boulder near the edge of the Oval closest to Memorial Row. It lists 21 of the 31 honorees from 1919. By 1925, the university had increased the number of names on the official list to 35, and sometime later, it grew to 37.[17]

Organization and administration[edit]
The University of Montana is the main campus for the University, which includes four other campuses. The public university system is one of two in Montana; the other is Montana State University. Both systems are governed as the Montana University System by the Montana Board of Regents, which consists of seven members appointed by the state governor, and confirmed by the state Senate to serve seven-year staggered terms. The Governor and Superintendent of Public Instruction, both statewide elected officials, are ex officio members of the Board, as is the Commissioner of Higher Education, who is appointed by the Board of Regents.[18]
The Board of Regents appoints the university president, who is directly responsible and accountable to the Commissioner of Higher Education.[19]
The total operating budget for the University of Montana for fiscal year 2009 was approximately $345 million. Of $135 million comes from the General Funds budget (app. $90 million from tuition, $45 million from the state) and $210 million from restricted funds (about $80 million), auxiliary funds ($46 million), designated funds ($44 million), and plant funds ($37 million).
Over the past 20 years, state support for higher education has dropped dramatically. In 1990, the State of Montana provided for 69% of the educational and general funds budget. It now supports 36% of the general fund or 17% of the university's operating budget. This decrease in funding has, in part, been made up by the university successfully competing for sponsored research money with a growth from $12 million in 1994 to $71 million in 2009 and salaries as low as 3/5 the national average.[20]

- School of Law (1911)
The University of Montana is also home to a variety of projects, research centers, and institutes.
Campus media[edit]
The Montana Kaimin, founded in 1898, is the student-run college newspaper. It is independent of the university. It attracted national attention in 2009, when football coach Bobby Hauck refused to take questions from the paper in retaliation for a story about an alleged assault by two Grizzly football players.[22] The Montanan is the University's alumni newsletter, published by the University Relations office. CutBank, founded in 1973 by the Creative Writing Program, is a literary magazine. Camas: The Nature of the West, is a literary journal run by graduate students of the Environmental Studies Program.
KBGA (89.9 FM) is the college radio station. KUFM-FM is the flagship and founding station of Montana Public Radio. Founded in 1965, its studios are located in the Broadcast Media Center, of the Performing Arts/Radio Television Building. KUFM-TV (Channel 11) is the local Montana PBS station
Student life[edit]
A variety of student organizations exist on campus. Seven fraternities and four sororities have chapters on campus. The fraternities are Phi Delta Theta (1921), Sigma Nu (established at UM in 1904), Sigma Chi (1905), Sigma Phi Epsilon (1918), Sigma Alpha Epsilon (1927), and Kappa Sigma (1927).[23] The sororities are Kappa Alpha Theta (1909), Kappa Kappa Gamma (1909), Delta Gamma (1911), and Alpha Phi (1918).
The University of Montana's International Program began as the International Student club in 1924. It was founded by Alex Stepanzoff and four other Russians who were the first foreign exchange students at the university and is the oldest student organization at the university. The first study abroad programs were created with programs to France, Germany, and Spain in 1971. In 1981, the Mansfield Center was established and certification in teaching of English as a second language (TESL) began.[24] As of 2010, the university has partnerships established with over 90 universities in over 40 countries. The largest number of partnership are with universities in Japan (eight), China (seven), and Chile (seven).[25]
Programs on Central and Southwest Asia were created in 1997. UM is currently the only American university offering a Bachelor of Arts in Central and Southwest Asian Studies. In September 2010, the Montana Board of Regents unanimously approved the creation of the Center for the Study of Central and Southwest Asia at The University of Montana.[26][27][28]
- A parking decal can be purchased for $185.00 or day passes for $3.00. The UM website states "On an average school day 15,000–17,000 students, teachers, and staff are coming to campus and competing for only 4,500 parking spaces." It is recommended that students carefully consider the value of paying for campus parking, as it is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain parking spaces.[29]
- Starting January 2015, all buses are free for anyone in the general public.
- The University can be reached on the Mountain Line bus system on routes 1,8, & 12. Buses do not run on Sundays.[30]
- The University has two Park and Ride lots located to the north, and south of the main campus. They service the Missoula college on South Ave, Main Campus and Lewis and Clark Villages on Higgins Ave. Shuttles run every 10–20 minutes 7:25 am–6:15 pm M-F during Fall & Spring semesters.[31]
- UDASH is the late night shuttle service that runs every half hour from campus to Lewis & Clark (student housing), back to campus and then downtown.[32]
- The ASUM Cruiser Co-op program allows students to check out yellow cruiser bike (unisex, with lights, basket, and lock) for up to two days for free with a Griz Card.[33]
The athletic teams are nicknamed the Montana Grizzlies, often shortened to Griz or Lady Griz (when referring to women's teams). The University has competed in the NCAA's Big Sky Conference since the conference was formed in 1963. From 1924 to 1950, the University of Montana was a member of the Pacific Coast Conference (precursor to today's Pac-12). The University of Montana has an ongoing rivalry with Montana State University, most notably the cross-state football matchups, known as the "Brawl of the Wild."
Programs include:
- Montana Grizzlies football – Since the 1990s, the Griz have established themselves as one of the most dominant football teams in both the Big Sky Conference and in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (known as Division I-AA football before 2006). They have won or shared 11 of the last 16 Big Sky football championships since 1990, and won the I-AA national title in 1995 and 2001.
- Montana Grizzlies men's basketball – The men's basketball team has established itself in recent years as a power in the Big Sky, and was the conference representative to the NCAA Division I Men's basketball tournament in 2005 and 2006. At the 2006 tournament, the 12th-seeded Griz upset fifth-seeded University of Nevada, Reno, 87-79, the school's first win in the tournament in 31 years. The Cinderella run ended against the fourth-seeded Boston College Eagles.
- Montana Grizzlies women's basketball – The women's basketball team is the most successful team in the Big Sky Conference. The Lady Griz have won 17 conference titles in 25 years, most recently in 2012, and have competed in the NCAA Women's tournament 17 times. The Lady Griz have been coached since 1978 by Robin Selvig (Montana, 1974), who has an overall record of 645–188 (.774 winning percentage) as head coach of the Lady Griz. Selvig earned his 600th win in just 772 games—sixth fastest of any NCAA coach (men or women).
- Montana Grizzlies women's soccer – Recently hired a new head coach in Mark Plakorus. Plakorus becomes the third head coach of a program that will be entering its 18th season of play in the fall of 2011. He was stationed at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls from 1994–1999, has begun the head coach and director of the Flathead Soccer Camp in Kalispell since 1998, has been coaching in the collegiate ranks since 2022 when he chose to end an 11-year Air Force Career to pursue a career in coach soccer full-time. He spent two seasons from 2002–2003 as an assistant at University of Iowa and one year at University of Tulsa before joining the Texas Christian University staff as an assistant coach.
Other intercollegiate sports include men's and women's cross country, women's golf, men's and women's track and field, men's and women's indoor track and field, men's and women's tennis, and women's volleyball and since 2015 softball.
Intramural sports include men's lacrosse (won 2007 national championship in their division, MCLA-B) and women's lacrosse, the Alpine Ski Team (went to the national championships in winter 2006), rowing, dance and cheer, men's and women's ice hockey, men's soccer, the Woodsman Team, rodeo, the Missoula Footbag Alliance. triathlon, cycling, fencing, Jesters Rugby, and Betterside Women's Rugby. Baseball is a club sport at the university. Led by James R. "Pops" Jones since 1997, the team won three Big Sky Championships in 2003, 2004, and 2005 as a player/coach. The team is currently a member of the National Club Baseball Association and finished second in the 2004 National Tournament.
The mascot of the university is Monte, a Grizzly Bear. In 1897, a live bear cub traveled with UM's football team, then known as the "Bears" (the "Grizzlies" name was adopted in 1923). Numerous live bear cubs who served as university mascots, first named Teddy, then Fessy and finally, in the 1960s, Cocoa. UM's costumed mascot during the 1980s, dubbed Otto, donned a variety of fun-loving outfits to entertain crowds at Grizzly football games. Monte (short for Montana) was born in the mountains of Missoula in the fall 1993. The 2002–03 and 2004–05 National Champion Mascot of the Year (Capital One/ESPN) has evolved into a "motorcycle-riding, break-dancing, back flipping, slam-dunking, movie-making, crowd-surfing, goal post smashing, prank-pulling superstar that makes the women of Montana swoon."[34]

Built in the 12th century, it is recognised as Ireland's most decorative round towers.
The village of Timahoe is situated in a broad and fertile valley.
The houses are built around a large central green, known as the Goosegreen.
Community facilities including the church, community hall and recycling area are all located south of the village centre.
Saint Mochua established a monastery here in the 7th century.
There are some early historical references to the site a church was burned here in 919, while there was a murder in the doorway of another church in 1019.
It was burned in 1142, and re-founded by the O'Mores.
There was a monastic community here as late as 1650.
The present fragmentary church has an inserted 15th century chancel arch now blocked up leading to the site of the altar.
The Round Tower was built in the mid 12th century and is one of the finest in Ireland.
Standing 30m high, it is located near the centre of the village.
The cap was rebuilt in the 19th century, but the tower is otherwise in its original condition.
Its doorway, which is high off the ground and faced the doorway of the church, is elaborately decorated in the Romanesque style.
It has four orders (rows of decoration receding into the doorway) two inside and two outside (see photo), separated by a narrow vaulted lobby.
The capitals the heads of the pillars of the doorway are carved with human heads with intertwining hair.

Hmm, any thoughts? Resilience was considered the best to me because it was an exponential increase, now it might be worth gemming some power later on it seems..

Hmm, any thoughts? Resilience was considered the best to me because it was an exponential increase, now it might be worth gemming some power later on it seems..
Source: http://blue.mmo-champion.com/topic/2...formula-in-52/
We have loads of CC, loads of burst and can nearly one shot people. What exactly do you think is going to happen if they nerf the only thing working against this? Because no matter what they try to tell us, this is a nerf and a bad one.
I don't think there will really be that much change below 70% resilience. Resilience is way above every other stat anyway, so it'd have to diminish pretty bad for power to be better.
Actually the change is quite big, I've seen some number plays that under current circumstances put the damage gain around 7-10% just because of the loss of resilience. Add to that that we're going to get a huge chunk of PvP power and stats with 5.2 with the new elite gear while resilience is hardly going to increase at all and we might possibly look forward to the most bursty season ever.
I know many MW monks already going Int(rbgs) think it confirms it for me also.
This formula seems to fit really well (save for +-1 in last digit, since numbers are estimates)
Can people test this formula and give feedbacks?
I do not like this, why make it worse? Why not make it scale better lower levels and keep the current ones the same...
Time...line? Time isn't made out of lines. It is made out of circles. That is why clocks are round. ~ Caboose
Personally I plan to hold out on doing anything different until we get some hard data. I do however feel this change is aimed at increasing the use of PVP power as currently the reduction in damage from gemming fell resil (or at least predominately) out weighs the gain by gemming full pvp power.
That only becomes an issue at the top tier pvp gear for the most part. Basically it works out that the damage gained from the extra pvp power is less than the actual damage reduction from the resil. Once you get higher gear levels than yes it will start to cap out and pvp power will be a better option.
So, as fc's, is there a "soft cap" where we should start gemming stam>resil? Or just keep going resil even though the returns are even less now?
Here is an early draft interactive graph comparing Resilience and Effective Health in 5.2 vs 5.1. A cleaned up version of this will be in the revised guide.
The basic analysis is that Blizzard was dead on with their explanation, effective health returns from resilience in 5.2 are perfectly linear. Anyone with less than 10k Resil should see a slight bump in effective health from the patch, anyone with more should see a slight loss. Going forward Resil will still be a great, lucrative stat, just not the exponentionally valuable super-stat it was before at higher levels.
P.S. The effective health listed in that graph is a percentage relative to displayed health, so 300 would mean effective health is 300% of displayed health.

Explain to me how exactly this is a good thing? We were already able to almost global people in full PvP gear gemmed for resilience and PvP resilience was lagging behind. Burst was insane this season and one of the main issues. Now we will have a massive gain in PvP power and main stats while resilience wont provide as much reduction, so we're looking ahead to a season with even more burst than the last one.
Well at least it allows for people wearing PvE gear again. Nice for all those heroic raiders who can get the great new trinkets, legendary metagem and heroic weapons from throne of thunder. Massive gain with hardly any loss!
I think you're confused.
- Resilience is worse than it was, but still the best stat by far.
- Everyone's damage reduction has gone up, no matter what gear they are in (as of right now)
- Resilience and PvP Power are still way better than PvE gear
- The 'rofl' procs from PvE gear have a lesser proc chance vs players, meaning that they will probably proc once every 1 minute or so and it'll be completely RNG. (and thus will be useless probably 95% of times they proc. PvP trinkets are way more reliable).
- Metagems won't be able to be placed in PvP gear because the iLevel isn't high enough
Very few players had more than 10k resilience at the release of the patch, so virtually everyone should have seen an immediate increase in their survivability (even if it was only minor). Going forward survivability gains will be more consistent (linear), rather than starting out slow and rising rapidly at the high end. If Blizzard finds that damage is too high in PVP across the board they can always adjust the scaling again, or just increase the amount of it on current gear.
@EldacarJS - Warcraft PVP Enthusiast, Theorycrafter, and Blizzard PVP Forum MVP
Question- the 5.2 honor gear has more pvp resil and pvp power than than the non-upgraded 5.1 version, but has, for example, less agility and less stamina. Which one is better?
Also, even the upgraded 5.1 malev gear has less pvp power and resil than the 5.2 honor gear. Do pvp power and resil gains make it worth giving up the agility and stam gains of the upgraded 5.1 gear for the 5.2 honor gear?
It is kind of aggravating since I thought upgraded 5.1 malev was supposed to be better than 5.2 honor gear, but it is not clear to me which is better.

As I remarked already, and it's the starting point for the new edition of my State of the World Atlas (published this week), the human population is seven times greater than it was 200 years ago but our use of resources is disproportionately greater still: we produce 50 times as much, using 60 times as much water and 75 times as much energy. Where is that all going – and perhaps more to the point, how long can it keep on going? A new report offers insights. Continue reading

Though the U.S. prison population of 1.5 million in 2012 was far larger than that of any other country, both in absolute terms and as a percentage of population, the era of ever-increasing "mass incarceration" is ending.
The number of state and federal inmates peaked in 2009 and has shrunk consistently thereafter, according to the Justice Department. New prison admissions have fallen annually since 2005.
The inmate population is still disproportionately African-American — 38 percent vs. 13 percent for the general population — but the incarceration rate for black men fell 9.8 percent between 2000 and 2009, according to the Sentencing Project.
This is not, however, the impression one would get from a new 464-page report from the prestigious National Research Council, which, like other think-tank output and media coverage of late, downplays recent progress in favor of a scarier but outdated narrative.
The report first observes that the prison population "more than quadrupled during the last four decades" and condemns this as a racially tainted episode that badly damaged, and continues to damage, minority communities but did little to reduce crime.
The study's authors are right that the disproportionate presence of minorities in prison is a tragic reality, rooted at least partly in the post-1960s politics of white backlash. Today's big prison population reflects the impact of mandatory minimums and longer sentences, which probably do yield diminishing returns in terms of crime reduction, especially for nonviolent drug offenses.
Summarizing a relative handful of studies, the NRC report implies that we can have safe streets without the cost, financial and moral, of locking up so many criminals — since it's "unlikely" that increased incarceration had a "large" positive impact on crime rates.
It would be nice if there were no trade-off between crime and punishment, but common sense says it's not so. An analysis by the Brookings Institution's Hamilton Project, similar in both tone and timing to the NRC report, acknowledges that increasing incarceration can reduce crime and that this effect is greatest when the overall rate of incarceration is low.
Ergo, increasing the incarceration rate now would do little to reduce crime, but the crime-fighting benefits were probably substantial back in the high-crime, low-incarceration days when tougher sentencing was initially imposed.
It's easy to pass judgment on the policymakers of that violent era, when the homicide rate was double what it is today and crime regularly topped pollsters' lists of voter concerns.
That had a racial component, but minorities were, and are, disproportionately victims of crime, too. The NRC report extensively discusses the negative effect on communities of incarcerating criminals, but it has comparatively little to say about the social impact of unchecked victimization.
Buried within the report is the fact that, in 1981, the average time served for murder was just five years; by 2000, it had risen to 16.9 years. The numbers for rape were 3.4 and 6.6 years, respectively. Insofar as "mass incarceration" reflects those changes — and the majority of state prisoners are in for violent crimes — it's a positive development.
In an oft-quoted but empty phrase, the NRC report declares the growth of incarceration in the United States "historically unprecedented and internationally unique."
The same might be said for the United States itself. This is the only nation on earth with more than 100 million people, effective, democratically accountable law enforcement and a lot of crime.
If we released all drug offenders, the incarceration rate would still be much higher than that of Europe. Ditto if we released all minorities. Nor are U.S. racial disparities unique. Canadian statistics show that, for unknown reasons, the black share of Canada's prison population is three times that of the general population — the same as in the United States.
Instead of ignoring recent positive trends, researchers should try to understand them. The decline in incarceration may represent the delayed effect of falling crime and the diminished flow of new offenders it necessarily entails.
Sentencing reform, too, is taking hold, based on changing public attitudes. The percentage of Americans who say criminals are not punished harshly enough has fallen nearly 23 points since 1994 — when the crime wave peaked — according to data compiled by Arizona State University professor Mark Ramirez.
After erring on the side of leniency in the 1960s, then swinging the opposite way in the 1980s and 1990s, the United States may be nearing a happy medium.
But this probably would not be possible if 48 percent of Americans felt unsafe walking at night within a mile of their homes, as the Gallup poll found in 1982.
To sustain moderate public opinion we must keep the streets safe, and to do that we must learn the right lessons from the recent past.

ABC West Lanes Open - Archived Standings
ABC West Lanes, Mechanicsburg, Pa., Aug 15-20, 1992
Vespi Knows His ABC's
Bob Vespi defeated Jim Pencak, 279-205, to win the Inaugural ABC West Lanes Open and the $18,000 first prize. Vespi started with eight consecutive strikes to coast to his first victory from the top-seeded position and his second PBA title. The evening began with first-time finalist Mark Bradley, Akron, Ohio, losing to two-time PBA Player of the Year Amleto Monacelli, 233-183. Monacelli, Barquisimeto, Venezuela, then eliminated Greg Kemp, Bryan, Texas, 193-169. Kemp, the 1991 Southwestern Region Player of the Year, also was competing in his first PBA championship round. Then veteran Jim Pencak, Mayfield Hts., Ohio, stepped in and disposed of Monacelli, 210-204. Pencak, who earlier had recorded 16 consecutive championship round wins, advanced to the championship game to face Vespi. Pencak opened in the first frame by missing the 7-pin. The match was almost out of reach after Pencak opened in the second and didn't strike in the championship game until the fourth frame. Pencak trailed by 63 pins after four frames and the only question remaining was whether Vespi would shoot 300. CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND
PLAYOFF RESULTS-Monacelli defeated Bradley, 233-183; Monacelli defeated Kemp, 193-169; Pencak defeated Monacelli, 210-204; and in the championship game, Vespi defeated Pencak, 279-205. 42-GAME TOTALS OTHER CASHERS *-Match play alternate. 18-game qualifying leader-Greg Kemp, 4218. 24th place-Tony Westlake, 3916. 53rd place-David Mergendahl, 3808. #-Robert Lawrence, Ron Williams, Ron Palombi Jr., Brad Kiszewski, Roger Kossert, Bruce Hamilton, Tommy Delutz Jr., Greg Kemp, Mark Bradley and Clay Pezzano rolled 300 games ($100 each).

Letter: '60 Minutes' interview with Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell was useless
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., left, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., right, attend a ceremony Wednesday, July 11, 2012. (J. Scott Applewhite, ASSOCIATED PRESS)
A segment of "60 Minutes" on Sunday, Nov. 4, featured an interview with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. The only thing I got out of the interview was that neither of them had an answer that made sense on why the two parties couldn't pass or compromise on important legislation on behalf of the American public. Their main interest was complimenting each other on their suits and ties that were similar in appearance and expressing pleasure in each one's attire.

Thanks for the news, but hardly worth logging on. The game is pretty much dead. lol
2 server?
its 4 servers. 1 US, 1 EU, 1 German and 1 Russian afaik.
but yeah..this game badly needs to go Freemium imo.
tho Bioware has DaoC running also with low population and quite a while.
1 NA server is bad, and I do think the game should go freemium or f2p, but I started playing again a few days ago and the pvp is still some of the best available. Lots of action in tiers 1,3 and 4 while tier 2 has been shruken down to levels 15-19.
Not a perfect game, and one that certainly needs a lot of love, but a breath of fresh air after SWTOR.
I'd rather hear this news than news about one of the MILLIONS of pos browser strategy clones allowing me to accelerate production.
you guys with negative posts should just move along- If your so concerended about servers go play a game console.
now back to the OP.

Golden Heavy Body Matte Acrylics are formulated with a matting agent and a level of pigment that is comparable to Golden Heavy Body Acrylics. Adding matte medium to acrylic paint produces a matte surface, but this combination always decreases the color strength.
Golden Heavy Body Matte Acrylics avoids this loss of color and provides a uniform flat finish in a wide variety of concentrated colors. They produce a film with excellent flexibility and resistance to chemicals, water, and UV rays.
Color Chart Note — Use this color chart as an approximation of the real color. If exact color matching is necessary, use actual samples of the materials.

Comments about Golden Heavy Body Matte Artist Acrylics:
excellent service, the customer service rep went above and beyond to call to let me know my order was on its way along with offering me free shipping as a courtesy. Dick Blicks is the best art store to buy from especially on painting supplies for my fine arts work.
Very pleased with the quality.
By Muralist
from Owensboro KY
When I first purchased this product it did seem a little pricey for the amount, but after using it I realized why. The quality is phenomenal and can stand up indoors or outdoors even through harsh weather. I've been using it strictly outdoors and it stood up a good six months through last winter. It did require a few touch ups but nothing major, and once it is sealed it should last a very long time. Also do not let the size fool you like it did me, the jar is very small but this product can really go a long way. I mixed it with a little matte medium to thin it out, and it took ages to go through one container. My only complaint would be that the formula isn't extremely opaque. Certain colors, especially the lighter ones are semi-transparent unles applied very thickly. But overall I really liked the product and it worked out for me.

Golden Matte Acrylics
By Michon
from Northfield, Minnesota
I used carbon black Golden matte acrylic on a large canvas. I made the surface of the canvas smooth with Golden molding paste and then applied the matte acrylic. I did not thin the matte carbon acrylic, using it right out of the jar. The paint created a very nice opaque and matte surface. Golden mattel acrylics are not as matte as gouache.

I like the Golden Heavy Body for its versatility. It can be used as a very thick, opaque paint, either right out of the tub or mixed with other Golden colors, or thinned with Golden Glazing Medium for a glowing wash.

CHULA VISTA, CA (KNSD/NBC) - One dog is dead and two others are clinging to life in California after thousands of bees attacked them.
Carissa Musaraca Avenue says she went outside just before 2 p.m. after hearing her dogs making a noise. She says her dogs were covered in "thousands and thousands" of bees.
"It looked like a tornado of bees. I couldn't even see the backyard at all. The dogs were covered in coats of bees," Musaraca said.
An estimated 4,000 to 6,000 bees swarmed from 50 pounds of honeycomb at about 2 p.m., according to firefighters.
"I wish I could've saved them. I couldn't. They wouldn't let me back there. I was just watching them suffer," Musaraca said.
Faith had a seizure and died.
The other two dogs, Girl and Boomer, are hooked up to IVs at Otay Pet Vets animal hospital, and one may not make it.
Musaraca was stung several times in the head and hands. Several other people were also stung, but no one had serious injuries.
Chula Vista firefighters used foam to kill the bees, which came from a hive behind a backyard fence.
"The bigger the hive gets the more aggressive and more territorial the bees will be," said Michael Zito from Anthony's Bee Removal Service.
Zito said the swarm was likely Africanized bee. He says it's late in the year for a big attack, but Africanized bees can withstand the change of seasons.
"We're seeing more and more activity during fall and winter months now, it seems like every year, and it's probably going to continue to increase that way," Zito said.
Africanized bees account for 80 percent of San Diego County's bee population.

Futbol Para Todos – The Ultimate Football Weekend
By Rupert Fryer
This used to bit my favourite bit of the show. The bit whereby I'd take a back-seat and let a professional take to the stage. That was until this landed on the desk at EFW Towers, and reduced me to a raging fit of jealousy. Rupert Fryer has been holed up in Buenos Aires for the last six weeks hobnobbing with the who's who of football journalists whilst watching the beautiful game.
Rupert is a freelance journalist and the co-founder of SouthAmericanFootball.co.uk. He's also a regular contributor to the Football Ramble and Goal.com.
In this epic article Fryer takes us through what has to be the ultimate football weekend. Weep, wince and enjoy this romp through the Argentinian capital:
Glancing down at my hands one summer afternoon this past July, I looked upon my tattered fingers - worked to the bone by countless minute-by-minute reports - with square eyes, suffered during 14 hour stints in front of a screen, and came to the conclusion that I was in the midst of my first ever World Cup hangover. Ahead of me lied nothing but an entire summer filled with one monotonous transfer story after another; each undoubtedly contradicting the last. I had to get away.
In mid 2009 AFA President Julio Grondona took the unprecedented step of tearing up the league's television contract. With her popularity waning, President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner agreed to pay the AFA some £94.5m per year to ensure all the country's top light football would be shown on free-to-air television. "Everybody has a right to watch football," said the administration. In the new deal, every single match would be shown live; the action would start on Friday night and take viewers right through to Sunday evening.
I had been planning my ultimate football weekend ever since. And with 16 of the 20 top flight clubs now based within an hour or so of central Buenos Aires, my time had come.
I had been in Argentina for five weeks, taking in some 12 matches, before my weekend of 'Futbol Para Todos' (football for all) kicked off on Friday 17th September. It all began on the vast Avenue 9 de Julio as I fruitlessly attempted convince a Taxi driver to take me 5km over the Riachuelo River to El Cilindro - the home of Racing club. Having being kicked out of three cabs in five minutes, I came to the conclusion that I would have to brave an alternative method of travel if I was to make it in time for kick-off (I was later informed the reason for this was that Avellaneda requires their cab drivers have different licences to those in inner-city BA).
So I found myself stood waiting for the no. 100 bus to Avellaneda where I got chatting to a young man named Marcelo. Now my Spanish isn't great, but combine it with the Italian twang and quick fire delivery of the average Porteño and I'm in real trouble. I nodded and repeated the obligatory "claro," while desperately searching each sentence for a recognizable verb and managed to decipher that this bus would take me as close to the stadium as I could get.
I paid AR€1.25 (20p) fare, took my place at the front of the bus and spent most of the 20 minute ride trying to block out the sound of Rick Astley and figure out where to get off. "Hola, che," I said, momentarily knocking the driver out of his Astley-inspired rhythm, "¿me podes avisar cuando pasemos por la cancha de Racing?" His blank stare seemed to say "you're in the wrong place, gringo," before he forced a smile and told me to get off at the next stop.
I hopped down and homed in on the first Racing shirt I saw. Explaining that I was an English football journalist trying to get to La Cancha, Paolo, a man in his late 20s with one of those Rodrigo Palacio-style plats hanging off the back of his otherwise honourable short back-and-sides, introduced himself as a Racing season ticket holder and insisted that I follow him. I arrived about 20 minutes before kick-off and met Daniel Edwards, who was waiting patiently after being kind enough to grab me a ticket. Entry to the famous Popular section -the terracing that runs around the back of the goal and holds some 20,000 fans- costs AR€70 (around £11) and tickets are usually available to purchase right up until kick-off.
Racing came into the match in desperate need of a victory. Having opened the season with back-to-back wins, including a 2-1 win over Boca Juniors at La Bombonera, the long suffering La Academia faithful had been talking up their chances of clinching their first league title in a decade. But four straight league defeats quickly restored the natural order. On my previous trip to Avellaneda, the home team had been embarrassed by a Colon side that set out a rigid back-four and repeatedly found space behind Racing's wing-backs -much to the annoyance of myself and Jonathan Wilson who had joined me that night- to achieve a result that left coach Miguel Angel Russo favourite for the sack race.
However Racing welcomed back gangly playmaker Giovanni Moreno against Lanus and comfortably romped to four goal victory. The Colombian gave the consummate schizophrenic performance: while utterly useless for large periods, five or six moments of pure genius were more than enough to grab all three points and send us all home safe in the knowledge that we had got our money's worth.
Upon leaving the stadium, the local the boys we had paid to watch the car showed us to our vehicle and I hopped in alongside Nico, Juan, Alexi and Luciano for the 15 minute ride back to 9 de Julio and Independencia. I made it home at around 5am after a 'quick' stop at the Gibraltar bar for a few stouts and an early morning Super Pancho.
However the home side made a poor start and found themselves a goal down after 12 minutes when David Vega sent the away fans -all 79 of them- wild after Damián Albil failed to deal with an in-swinging free-kick. Diaz hauled off centre-back Fernando Meza after 30 minutes and abandoned his 3-5-2, moving to a more fluid 4-2-3-1. With a new found natural width, the home side made good use of two-on-one situations on the flanks and were level within two minutes. At the break Joel and I scuttled away for some free sandwiches and fizzy drinks, offering a nod of greeting to 'injured' goalkeeper Pablo Migliore en route. Diaz's side dominated the second period and cruised to victory thanks to strikes from Jonathan Bottinelli and Diego Rivero.
With around five minutes remaining, a friend of Joel's, Diego, offered us a lift home. I never leave matches early but given the surroundings it seemed like a sensible idea and Diego ushered us into a chuffer driven Ford Fiesta alongside none other than Daniel Filmes - formerly Minister of Education, Science and Technology in former President Néstor Kirchner's cabinet. After being dropped off in the more upmarket area of Nunez, my Saturday drew to a close with a trip around the River Plate museum and a tour of El monumental, which included a rather unnerving trip in the newly installed 'time machine' and a stroll down the club timeline. Well worth the AR$ 50 (£8).
My Super Sunday kicked off with coffee and Medialunas with Daniel, Dan and Sam before it was on to All Boys for the first of a double bill that would bring my weekend to a close. The Primera Division newcomers were hosting Juan Veron's Estudiantes and their rather boisterous set of travelling supporters. Jumping out of another taxi, the three block walk to the stadium was rather eventful. 20 minutes before kick-off, a fleet of Estu supporters' buses rolled obstreperously behind us; the All Boys barra raced right for us. Well, right for them, and all hell broke loose. Pictures in Ole the following day confirmed we were right to make a sharp exit.
All Boys' Islas Malvinas Stadium, in the Floresta district of Western Buenos Aires has a feel reminiscent of English League One grounds before they were made all-seaters. With terracing on three sides, and a 'Platea' seating section running down the other, it was the closest I got to the action during my time in BA. Relegation in Argentina is settled by a points average acquired over the last three years and All Boys, as one of the newly promoted teams, have it all to do if they hope to escape the drop. Estudiantes, meanwhile, have their sights set on the title and an away victory would have seen them return to the top with a game in hand.
But a shock was on the cards when Eduardo Dominguez prodded home to give the home side a deserved lead after 28 minutes and they should have been two up before Estu equalised on half-time. Amidst a barrage of abuse, Veron lead a master-class in the midfield and misplaced just once pass in 45 minutes. Sitting deep, marshalled by the indefatigable Rodrigo Baña, he orchestrated his team's play, repeatedly releasing Enzo Perez and Juan Pablo Pereyra. But with his forwards in wasteful mood, the veteran decided to take it upon himself and made his one foray forward on 45 minutes to inspire his team's superb equaliser.
Despite the country's continuing problems with football violence, I found a real family atmosphere inside Argentine stadia. As Veron hobbled off following a meaty challenge, one youngster of around six-years-old stood on his seat and screamed "Puta!!" As everyone turned to chuckle at the youngster's declaration, the boy's father put his arm around his young son's shoulders and affirmed: "see, he's learning." Football seems to unite those who attend La Cancha every weekend and five minutes after the break, as Sebastian Grazzini chipped a sublime winner, I turned to see a portly 70-year-old man embrace his young granddaughter in celebration – one which I quickly became an impromptu part of: "fucking Golazo!" the man screamed, before grabbing my head, puckering his lips, and planting an almighty smacker on my right cheek.
With three games down, there was only ever going to be one place to end a football weekend in Buenos Aires. The best supported club in the country, getting tickets to watch Boca Juniors is nigh on impossible unless you a) pay three times face value through a tour company; or b) risk buying a dud from a tout outside the ground. I opted for option c and secured press accreditation with a little help from the Football Historian Ezequiel Fernandez Moores, who was kind enough to inform the club of my presence.
La Bombonera is situated in the La Boca district of Buenos Aires and was just a ten minute cab ride from my base in San Telmo. The club had made quite an effort for their international visitor and I must extend a huge thank you to Chief Press Officer, Laura Costa; no sooner had I taken my seat was I showered with refreshments, including a mouth watering selection of sandwiches and pastries.
While Boca may not have Roman to steer them through their times of need, they can still rely on 'Saint' Martin Palermo and the veteran equalised with a sublime finish in first-half stoppage time. The second-half was quite probably the best 45 minutes of my entire stay in the city. Palermo put Boca ahead four minutes in and sent the home crowd delirious. All hell broke loose. "Dale Dale Dale Boca," chanted the Popular. Within minutes the entire stadium had joined in. Then came the dancing. And then came the flares. First one. Then another. And before I knew it, around 200 had illuminated the Chocolate Box. Smoke quickly filled the entire stadium and play was brought to a halt. As the referee pleaded with the fans to extinguish their pyrotechnics, I glanced at Boca Medical Director Guillermo Bortman, who had taken his place beside me. "I've been here for twenty years and this still gives me goosebumps," he said, lifting his sleeve and pointing at his pimpled arm.
In Argentina, there is a running joke that God is directing his own movie and that Martin Palermo is the star. How else can you explain this man's remarkable career? Coming on as a substitute with fifteen minutes remaining against River Plate in the Libertadores, after six months out with an anterior cruciate ligament injury, to score the winner – on one leg; missing three penalties in one match against Colombia; the leg break in 2001 when a wall collapsed on top of him as he celebrated a goal for Villarreal; taking to the field, and scoring, just days after the death of his new-born son Stefano in 2006; the 2010 national team recall; the last minute winner against Peru to keep his country's qualification hopes alive; and scoring against Greece to make him the oldest Argentine to ever score in the World Cup.
So as he stood, hands on hips, about to take a penalty that would secure all three points and his hat-trick, it was all a little predictable. As the ball flew high into the stands behind the goal, Bortman, hands on head, turned to me with a familiar sense of disbelief. "He'll still get his hat-trick," I said. "Of course," he replied, "that's, well, that's just…Palermo!" It is. And it was. He completed the inevitable with five minutes remaining.
Eager to hear what they all had to say for themselves, I took my seat in Boca's press room only for the post-match press conference to be cancelled five minutes before it was supposed to start; and so after twenty chaotic minutes in the mixed zone, and a rather nervy late night stroll through La Boca, I hopped into the final taxi of the weekend and headed home.
So my weekend had come to and end. My post-World Cup hangover has gone, though it's been replaced by its post-Argentine sister. Football all seems a little flat back in the UK since I returned a little over a week ago.

Tyrirk Harris, 28, is accused of murdering a neighbor in a dispute over dog droppings. Police allege Harris shot Franklin Santana after Santana complained that Harris had allowed his dog to mess on Santana's lawn.
Depending on witnesses called by defense lawyer James Berardinelli, Watson-Stokes said, attorneys might make their closing statements by Thursday.
Harris had been laid off from a job as a school district police officer and did not have a license to carry a gun, Assistant District Attorney Deborah Watson-Stokes said during Harris' preliminary hearing in April.

Whitmore Closing Doors Lyrics
Last updated: 07/28/2003 10:38:42 PM
It's been so long since I last saw you
I hardly recognise your face
So many dreams of yours just fall through
No telling what this girl will do
I see you're trapped in your own situation
Close to tears and close to detonation
How many times do I have to askl you why?
Time to time I think about you
I think of all the shit we'd do
Then we'd fight just like you want to
How many wrongs to make you right?
Sat alone with a picture of you
Sat alone with our song too
Sat alone with an image of you
Sat alone with a bottle too

Live review: Justin Bieber dominates Jingle Ball finale, but Ke$ha proves the real standout
December 4th, 2012, 1:15 pm by RAMON GONZALES, FOR THE REGISTERBeliebers? The place was full of 'em.
They started chanting the 18-year-old Canadian heartthrob's name Monday night the moment they walked into Nokia Theatre for the second half of KIIS-FM's annual (and now expanded) Jingle Ball.
Forget the misconceptions you may have about those still afflicted with Bieber Fever. They come in all shapes and sizes, from the unassuming junior-high tween with a massive crush to the 40-something housewife sipping white zinfandel and moving her hips a bit too provocatively for this PG show.
To them, Bieber could do no wrong. This finale came packed with some of pop's most frequently played tunes performed by the latest sensations, from Flo Rida to Ke$ha, Pitbull to Psy, yet there was zero question who owned the night.

He was the Scottsdale stereo salesman who found his way to the comedic stage at his sister's urging, developing a blue-tinged act that wasn't for the faint of heart.
Robert Schimmel, whose bittersweet life was touched by the death of a child and his own cancer battle, died Friday, eight days after a traffic accident in Scottsdale. He was 60.
Schimmel, who was known for his often sexually explicit performances on HBO, Comedy Central and as a regular on Howard Stern's radio show, got his start two decades ago while visiting a Los Angeles comedy club with his sister. She put his name in a hat during an amateur night and the audience's acceptance led to a new career.
Schimmel, who called both Scottsdale and California home over the years, often performed at the Tempe Improv.
"His death is a tragedy," said Eddie Zayas, the Improv's general manager. "He's been through a lot in his life. It's a bummer. He's been coming to the club for 20 years. He's going to be missed."
Zayas said that no matter what happened to Schimmel in life, he found a way to make it funny, adding, "He was able to take on real life."
His first-born son, Derek, died at age 11 in 1993 of cancer.
His 2008 memoir, "Cancer on $5 a Day," chronicles Schimmel's battle with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The discovery of the cancer in 2000 didn't keep him down or from making fun of what he had. "Non-Hodgkins. Great," he said. "I can't even get the one named after the guy."
In January, Schimmel announced he had cirrhosis of the liver.
Despite the difficulties in life, including divorce, the comedian also believed in trying to uplift others, perhaps taking a cue from his parents, Otto and Betty Schimmel. The Scottsdale residents and survivors of the Holocaust were frequent speakers in the Valley. Betty died in June.
On Aug. 26, Schimmel, his 11-year-old son and his 19-year-old daughter Aliyah, the driver of the vehicle, were seriously injured when their Honda coupe swerved to avoid a black SUV that had collided into the median, said a spokesman from the Department of Public Safety.
Aliyah Schimmel is still at Scottsdale Osborn hospital in stable condition. The boy was not seriously injured.
