"Let's focus on the resulting element — the "collective intelligence". Think about it as billions of human brains working using future super computers as a platform. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor Srini Devadas described "collective intelligence" as consisting of two pillars: cloud computing and crowd computing. Cloud computing is using the Internet as a platform and making access to information available to everyone. Crowd computing, according to him, involves the analysis of information into "collective intelligence" far beyond what we have today."

Out of the millions of homes in the US, some carry the unique characteristic of having eternal residents, ones who pay no rent or mortgage, but are said to inhabit the home nonetheless.
To kick off the Halloween season, real estate website Zillow.comselected the most haunted homes around the country and where possible, estimated the value of these homes if they were on the open market. These homes all have dark or eerie pasts, some are privately held and others have even been recognized by the US government to be haunted.
But what can a haunting do to the value of a home? According to Stan Humphries, Chief Economist at Zillow.com, it's a toss up. "Whether it helps or hurts a home's appeal is largely a function of the nature of the haunting," he says, noting that there is very little empirical data on this question. "Of course," he says, "for a particularly macabre buyer, a house that is haunted might fetch a higher price. In real estate as in all things, beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder."
So, where are the most haunted homes in the US, and how much are they worth? Click ahead to find out!

Today, one in four Americans age 18 to 29 claims no religious affiliation. In this era, how does a Catholic college or university communicate to students the value of religion in society? We asked three presidents of Catholic colleges for their thoughts.
The Editors
Toward a Meaningful Life
By Maryanne Stevens
The obvious answer to the question America's editors pose is that a Catholic college communicates faith as constitutive of a meaningful human life. This compels us first and foremost to nurture the imagination of our campus communities. Communicating the value of religion requires stories, environments, experiences, signs and symbols that lead one to faith and hope rather than despair in a bewildering world.
The experiences, signs and symbols abound at College of Saint Mary. Some are obvious: required theology and philosophy courses; crucifixes in the classrooms; daily Eucharist; meatless Lenten Fridays; small faith-sharing groups and service opportunities sponsored by campus ministry; and the marking of campus celebrations and sorrows with ritual, calling forth God's blessing and announcing our faith and hope in something more than ourselves.
Then there are the less obvious answers, which include careful hiring processes attentive to the college's mission. Not all candidates are Catholic or even Christian. But the processes do ask why a candidate would consider a Catholic college. If prospects respond to questions about the college's Catholic identity with answers like, "I don't have a problem with it," they are disqualified. We are looking for people who believe in something more and will prove to be role models through their understanding of being called to more. Less obvious, too, is the attention to campus aesthetics, which nurtures leisure and an appreciation of beauty.
The trick, then, is to make the connections between how the symbols of Catholicism function to assist with meaning while respecting the fact that the symbols of other religions can do the same. This needs to be coupled with questions like: "What makes for good religion, as opposed to bad religion?" or "What role will I allow authority and discipline to have in my life and why?" The latter question is crucial in a society that has thrived on resisting authority since the colonies threw out the British.
I think the most important method of conveying to students the value of religion comes from reflection on that which draws us to understand our limits and how we are bound to that which is beyond, however we name and honor it. This type of reflection can come in a variety of settings: a theology class, which (it is hoped) opens up concepts of God and ritual or doctrine rather than closing off questions; or a biology class where the discussion centers on our limited understandings of the human body despite our vast knowledge; or a literature class in which one comes to recognize the limits of words. It can happen through the religious rituals around important moments marking either joy or sorrow.
The discipline of participation in religion allows one to be part of something greater, to participate in a community of faith and hope. All the great world religions have a compelling vision of a world of "no more tears, a new heaven and a new earth," where all tears are wiped away. The point is that participation in religion, if it is "good" religion—that is, if it leads to further charity, joy, peace and patience—can lead to a meaningful life, a life sought after by many, if not all, of our students.
Together, in Faith
By Jim Collins
One cannot fully understand or appreciate timeless topics like economics, politics, music, education or medicine without knowing that religion has had an impact on each and continues to do so. Further, as one begins to understand the confluence, conflict, philosophical underpinnings or evolution toward any number of combinations of issues related to these topics, religion can easily be shown to have a profound influence.
Any broad-based, quality education ought to enlighten a student's understanding of religion's impact on society. A Catholic college or university is in a unique position to bring meaning, add clarity and offer insights as it teaches the value and importance religion has in society—past, present and future. One of the great resources a Catholic college or university has is its intellectual tradition. A Catholic college has both the opportunity and obligation to teach the Catholic intellectual tradition in its offerings, both curricular and co-curricular.
I can briefly highlight two very different examples of how Loras College helps communicate the value of religion in society. First, from a curricular standpoint, we offer a unique program for 60 students entitled "Catholic Thinkers and Leaders." Over the course of four years, these students participate in the life of the college like any other student, in that they commit to our general education track, but with a specifically delivered set of course work that incorporates the Catholic intellectual tradition. Regular opportunities to serve outside the college, to study in Italy for one's junior-year study away program and to gather weekly to discuss leadership principles that incorporate the Catholic tradition and liturgical participation are all required components of the program. Having a critical mass of these students, invested in this curriculum, has provided leaven for our campus community and allowed all of us to understand better the value of religion in society from both a lived and intellectual perspective.
Second, like many colleges and universities, Loras offers a first-year immersion program, which includes a common reading component. This co-curricular program is called "Launch Into Loras." The required reading for fall 2011 was the book Acts of Faith, by Eboo Patel. Though we have facilitated this program for a number of years and incorporated many fine readings, this year's book and interactions among faculty, students and staff were especially well received across the board. Mr. Patel, who is Muslim, shares his story of growing up and attending the University of Illinois. It was as a college student that he gained a deeper understanding of his own faith, an appreciation for those of different faiths and a desire to find a common cause whereby shared religious principles, even if from different faith traditions, could drive an effort of unity to serve the larger needs of society.
In both of these examples, and as a Catholic college in particular, we have found successful ways to communicate to our students the value of religion in society. Despite very different approaches, the two examples represent ways in which curricular and co-curricular opportunities unfold. The outcomes for students include a deeper appreciation for persons of different faith traditions and greater understanding of their own Catholic faith and of the ways religion has affected history and continues to influence society. But perhaps the greatest lesson learned has been how one can be personally faithful to one's own religion, deepening one's relationship with God while valuing others. In doing so, our students see the ways in which religion unites us rather than divides us.
A New Reality
By Lawrence Biondi
We live in an increasingly secular and superficial world. How can we expect our students to pursue truth, to find God in all things, to lead lives of significance, when reality television stars have become our cultural icons?
While college students seem less likely to embrace religion than they did when I became president of Saint Louis University 25 years ago, I firmly believe that we at Jesuit institutions can reverse this trend, primarily because we do not have to look very far for inspiration. The religious conversion of St. Ignatius Loyola changed the world, and nearly 500 years later his message and his mission still resonate on our campuses and in our communities.
At S.L.U., we communicate the value of religion in many ways. We require all students to take theology courses. We celebrate a Sunday night Mass that draws 1,000 students of varying religious backgrounds. And we structure many service projects in St. Louis and beyond to include faith and reflection, challenging our students to become agents for change. These worthy endeavors are expected at a place like Saint Louis University, of course. To further help students understand the power of religion, sometimes it is necessary to do the unexpected, which, for us, means focusing on other faiths too.
With the hope of nurturing the faith lives of all our students, the campus ministry department works closely with such groups as our Hindu Student Community, Muslim Student Association and S.L.U. Jews, as well as religious leaders and ministers of different faiths from the external community.
A newly chartered Interfaith Alliance, created by students, develops programs that build bridges and encourage understanding. The student founders consciously connect with others of diverse religious backgrounds and find common ground by performing service projects and going on retreat together. I am immensely proud of these students and the example they set. I am also aware that the university could do more to foster interfaith dialogue and interreligious cooperation. I believe all Catholic colleges and universities must do a better job of reaching out to and serving non-Catholic students. If Catholicism is to thrive in these increasingly secular and superficial times, we must not be afraid to stand up for all religions.
Efforts to further our connection with other faiths do not make us any less Catholic or Jesuit. Quite the contrary. It is our charge and our responsibility as Jesuit institutions of higher education to help shape a world of depth and dignity that celebrates all faith traditions. And when we do, we rise to the challenge of St. Ignatius to combat superficiality and secularism as we inspire our students to seek substance and to actively live their faith, whatever it may be.
Now that is a reality worth watching.

If you'll remember from its original unveil at Geneva, this sporty little crossover coupe is the QarmaQ, Hyundai's concept designed to showcase environmentally progressive technologies, such as the Korean company's "Elastic Front." That's a pedestrian collision solution Hyundai hopes if implemented, can reduce the risk of turning a drive through the Shibuya crosswalk into a re-make of Death Race 2000. Remember, you get bonus points for maiming now, not killing.
But that's one of only 30 new technologies the QarmaQ incorporates, many of which Hyundai hopes they'll be able to incorporate into new models between 2008 and 2014. According to Hyundai, the QarmaQ is lighter, stronger and more economical than any current production CUV in its class. We also have to say it looks not too terrible on the eyes either — which is why we thought it was so nice, we've brought it to ya twice. Plus, we felt the need to drop a "Death Race 2000" joke and a Shibuya joke in one post.

If you are considering this pattern you should note – it's super long, both in the leg and the rise; and it's symmetrical front and back. I lowered the rise by several centimetres and they still sit above-waist. Additionally, due to having the same curvature in the front and back, the leggings ride up in the front more than in the back. You can get a satisfactory outcome in a two-way stretch knit in spite of these issues but I won't be using this pattern again for my forthcoming leggings projects.

is there seam allowance included or not? and how much?
Sep 12, 2010, 06.37 PMby zumurruda
In Pakistan and India we have a similar 'pant' made with non stretch fabric and it is called a 'churidar pajama'. It is tight from the knees downwards but the hips/seat part is loose so as to allow ease of movement. The prettier style is cut on the bias. The bagginess in the seat/hips part does not look very flattering but that's not a problem because it's covered with the kameez (shirt) anyways!

Nov 28, 2009, 04.45 PMby kallers
Don't bother buying this pattern. Based on the pictures, I was hoping for bit more sophisticated pattern. On the model (and technical drawings), these look like they have a low rise in front and different crotch seams for front and back. Not so. You'll pay $2 for something you could trace out on paper in 30 seconds. There is no proper size chart (though since the pattern is so shapeless you can probably go with any size), and the instructions are abysmal (are these supposed to have 5/8" seam allowances?). I'm going to toss out this pattern and use the vuokatti tights pattern instead.

I just come to the site and want to buy it today .Suprise!the price was increased.Wow, I guess this is the only pattern that Burda style sell more than 100 in a short time since they start to charge. That's probably why they increase the price from $2 to $4. But I think I should let Burda's stuff know because it's $2 that's why we buy it. But now , I don't think I will. It's not only because of the money, it's just the way you people do things make me uncomfortable .

my opinion is that if you can get away with it then who cares if you wear leggings as pants. some ppl just shouldn't even bother attempting it. at first i hated seeing people wear them as pants but then i got lazy and they are so comfy and now i hate pants. i hardly ever wear pants. but i do think the top needs to be long but it doesnt HAVE to cover the crotch. just make sure theres no camel toe. i think if your thighs rub when you walk you should cover to the length of where they stop touching.

I see leggings as pants, but I would cover with a tunic, pair of shorts if playing sports, or other clothing. I am over 30 also but slim/skinny build.
I'm thinking getting a pair together for Halloween! Bad Girl Sandra Dee (the black outfit) from Grease? Modern day celebutante? Miley, Hannah, Kardashian, Lindsey? Dead or alive?!

I love the leggings, I us a overlock with woolly nylon thread in the lower looper and that way I donot have to worry about small or larger zig zag stitiches. Any knit works great.

Just made them tonight and they look great! Really simple pattern and great fit. I used the medium size, but cut off a little extra from the top, as it was coming way too high in the waist for me.
I have a serger, but I preferred to use a small zigzag stitch on the fabric I had 2.0 width, 2.5 length, slightly stretching when stitching. Works like a charm!

I think these leggings were probably shown worn with the tank T so you could see the waist and how they fit at the seat and crotch, not as a style suggestion – at least I hope thats why! :p Great
Leggings are super easy to make, like hunnykunfan said, without the use of a pattern, its simple enough to make your own and also to extend or shorten them to fit long or shorter legs.
I actually have some bronze lycra so think I may run a pair up when I get the chance.

Hello ladies! I'm pretty new here, but decided to jump in on the leggings as pants post. IMHO (ok, not so humble… ) I think major NO. Although, I think they look amazing with a tunic. My rule is finger tip length with the shirt. Then again, I'm 31 and think a little longer looks a little better. I'm a small person (5'2" and petite, 103#) but skinny or not, leggings as pants are just not flattering. I'm sure there's that magnificent woman (singular) out there that can rock them hard, but sadly it's more than likely not us or anyone that we know. Unless you also come from an alternate reality. ; ) Also, I have a Bernina 1500 (dinosaur that runs well) I heard it doesn't have a stretch stitch. Are large zig zags not the same as a stretch? Please help. I've never had to sew stretchy stuff on this machine before. Thank you!!!!!!

I've always used a small zigzag as a stretch stitch. short length & width keeps the width narrow so it looks good & has give.
Oct 7, 2009, 05.40 PMby susan294
Even though I have the stretch option on my Bernina, I usually just use a straight stitch and give a bit of a tug while I'm sewing stretch fabrics. I have a leggings pattern from McCalls that is almost identical to this one and the 2 pairs I have made have both held up great. If you don't like tugging at the material while you sew, you should use zig-zag as another alternative.

IMHO, leggings should be worn with a tunic or dress that comes down to at least the curve of the seat. Otherwise they look ridiculous, especially in shiny fabric. This pattern is a basic, though, if you don't already have one.

One question though, the size come in S, M and L. What does and L stand for? I'm not the thinnest girl around, often need size 44 or 46, so I wonder whether I could get my butt to fit in an L? Or do I need to find another pattern in the end?

Lotus rivals want to sign Grosjean
Rival teams are interested in signing Romain Grosjean, Lotus team owner Gerard Lopez claims.
The Luxembourger revealed the news while responding to criticism of the Enstone team's other driver, Pastor Maldonado, who is enduring an horror 2014 season.
Having switched his lucrative PDVSA backing from Williams to Lotus, Venezuelan Maldonado initially found an unreliable and uncompetitive E22 car, but he has also struggled to keep up with Grosjean while being involved in multiple on-track incidents.
But Lopez backed Maldonado to eventually get it right.
"We've lived the same thing with Romain, and people wrote him off, but now we've got people knocking on our door to see if he can be in their team," said Lopez.
He is referring to Frenchman Grosjean's struggles in 2012, when he was written off as a "nutcase" by Mark Webber and even banned for a race by the FIA.
But Lopez says Grosjean, 28, is now a sought-after driver in the F1 paddock.
"His drives last year meant there were a couple of teams knocking on the door to find out what he was doing, and now we've the same this year," he said.
Lopez admitted Lotus, who lost Kimi Raikkonen to Ferrari over the winter, might similarly struggle to hang onto the on-form Grosjean.
"We don't have the budget of some of the other teams, so there is a point up until which we will fight," he said.
"But Romain is really happy here, he is part of the family, and I don't think he is planning on going anywhere."

For a computer engineer like Saku, typing is a critical part of every day. Before receiving two PIPDriver™ prostheses, his speed and accuracy suffered; with them on, however, Saku can move across the keyboard with ease again. The articulation of the devices facilitate fine motor function, making this engineer's workday that much smoother.
Saku (Washington)
I became familiar with Naked Prosthetics after a woodworking accident. I have one of their unique prostheses fitted for the partial loss of a finger and have ordered another for my missing index finger. The prosthesis was easy to fit and are easy to wear and use while giving give an incredible amount of support to the entire hand. I have met with the personnel in Tumwater on two occasions and have found all of them to be very professional, most considerate and helpful, and dedicated to providing the best fitting and functional prosthesis which met my needs.
Jim (Arizona)
When I received my prosthesis in the mail there were no words to describe how I felt when I put it on – I had my finger back... I can say that I now have the one thing that once made me feel so fulfilled and complete back in my life since my accident (playing the piano), thanks to the biomechanical prosthetic finger. It gave me my life back.
Eva (Iowa)
I'm able to do everyday tasks again with precision.
James (Washington)
Before receiving his prostheses, Mike had been able to strum simple chords on his guitar, but he was not able to do what he called "Clapton-style finger picking." With two PIPDrivers™ on his hand, he was able to articulate his fingers and pick out a beautiful melody – something that, as he told us when his song was done, he hadn't done in over five years.
Mike (Nevada)
An art teacher by trade, Joey had also taught sign language before suffering from Septic Shock that resulted in the loss of seven digits. We fit her with a pair of sample prostheses, and in no time at all, she was signing the alphabet. The length from the prostheses helped her form the letters as clearly as a natural finger. It was wonderful to see her returning with such ease to something she loved.

I am a musician who recently lost the digit of the middle finger on my left hand. This was a devastating injury. After trying conventional prostheses, which were useless for playing piano and guitar, I heard about Naked Prosthetics' articulated devices. We went through a few designs until we found one that worked well for my application. While it is not like having my flesh and blood finger back, it is close. I can play both the piano and guitar again with all ten of my fingers. It is a real gift.
The people at Naked Prosthetics have been very helpful and responsive. One of the first devices broke through hard use, and they adapted the design and sent me another one at no cost. They have always been very polite and responsive to my needs. I am really glad I found the people at Naked Prosthetics.

Ryan tried on the PIPDriver™ at an appointment with his Hand Therapist and put it to the test with a fun hobby of his: juggling! The prosthesis allowed him to keep control of the balls, making it easier to juggle for a longer time. Also, the device protected his hypersensitive residuum, allowing him to catch the ball without fear of pain. In only a few minutes of wearing the BPF, Ryan could see that they make, as he says in the video, "A world of difference."
Ryan (Oregon)
It was great to be treated as a person. After many discussions with many people I was beginning to feel as though I was silly - after all it is just part of a finger. It may be just part of a finger, but now I feel whole again.

|Pie recipes
|8 slices
|prep: 45 minutes (including crust)
baking: 1 hour
| Rhubarb Recipes
This pie is fairly sweet but is also quite tangy since rhubarb is its main ingredient. It is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- 1 recipe Flaky Pie Crust
- 5 cups (1100g) of rhubarb stalks (about 2 1/2 pounds)
- 1 & 1/2 cups (360ml) of sugar
- 1/4 cup of (60ml) cornstarch or tapioca pearls
- 1/4 tsp of salt
- Prepare the flaky pie crust and refrigerate while preparing the rhubarb.
- Clean and trim the rhubarb stalks.
- Cut the stalks into 1/2 inch to 1 inch (1.25 to 2.5cm) sections.
- Add sugar, cornstarch or tapioca, and salt.
- Stir until rhubarb is evenly coated with dry ingredients.
Forming and cooking the pie[edit]
- Follow the instructions in the flaky pie crust recipe.
Place pie on lowest rack in oven. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and continue baking for 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
Notes, tips and variations[edit]
- If cornstarch is used as the thickener, the pie requires a longer cooling time before the filling is gelled.
- Another variation is to use a whole egg in the mix.
- This cookbook also has a recipe for strawberry rhubarb pie.

At just 19 years old — she celebrates her big 2-0 on August 20 — Demi Lovato has gone through enough hair changes to last her a few decades. In fact, in the past year alone, the singer and X Factor judge has sported almost every color under the sun.
In this exclusive video, Us Weekly's Beauty Director, Gwen Flamberg, and Fashion Director, Sasha Charnin Morrison, recap some of Lovato's biggest statement-making looks. Among the color chameleon's biggest hair switch-ups? Rocking ombre at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards and becoming a full-out redhead in November.
VIDEO: Kelly Clarkson's biggest hair hits and misses
Lovato then brightened up her look, debuting a honey blonde color at the X Factor announcement in May where she and Britney Spears were named to the show's judges panel. But she didn't stay a total towhead for long — this summer, she's been experimenting with rainbow, candy-colored highlights.
PHOTOS: Celebs with over-the-rainbow hair
"I love changing my hair a lot — I think it's fun," Lovato told Allure.com in an August 2012 interview. "I used to always want to dye my hair blue and purple and pink when I was younger. But I was busy trying to make it in the industry as an actress, and it was hard to go in for auditions with blue hair. And so when I heard of the dip-dye trend, I loved it, and I felt like I could finally dye my hair blue. You know you've made it when you can dye your hair blue."
Lovato tried out azure locks at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards in Universal City, Calif. on July 22.

The Investigator 24plex GO! Kit is for human identification, allowing multiplex amplification of the CODIS (Combined DNA Index System) core loci, the ESS (European Standard Set) markers, plus SE33, DYS391, D2S1338, D19S433 and Amelogenin. Amplification is carried out directly from the sample without prior DNA extraction. The kit includes an innovative Quality Sensor, enabling invaluable additional data to be generated for quality control and performance tests.
This additional information will greatly enhance your data analysis and will help you to make crucial decisions with respect to further sample processing. Ultimately, the Quality Sensors will help you reduce unnecessary re-runs, saving you time and money.
The optimized design of the two gender markers, Amelogenin and DYS391, enables the Investigator 24plex GO! Kit to have both at a small fragment size, making the gender typing extremely robust. Even for populations with Amelogenin Null mutations, this means no more failures with the essential gender typing, even with degraded or inhibited samples.
The STR markers and the gender-specific Amelogenin are amplified simultaneously in a single PCR and labeled with one of the dyes listed in the table "Investigator 24plex GO! Kit dyes and corresponding markers".
The amplified loci then undergo capillary electrophoresis. The results can be analyzed using dedicated software, such as Applied Biosystems GeneMapper ID-X. See the table "Investigator 24plex GO! Kit technical specifications" for more information.
The Investigator 24plex GO! Kit is for direct and reliable generation of DNA profiles from blood on FTA or other paper, buccal cells on FTA or other paper, or buccal swabs. It is highly suited for:

That's for sure, TL. I'm shocked out of my gourd. Well there goes my 400 pts. Mostly, I'm disappointed in Heidi's performance tonite. Also, if Kristine had chosen Heidi instead of Nicole to pair up with, I bet K/H would've made a better team and ended up as final 2.
You must be watching a different camera than I have apskip, because I haven't seen much of Stefani. I believe she has flown very under-the-radar, but has probably been smart to not get involved in much of the team politics. She does appears to be a good presenter, but other than that I haven't seen much to go on.Also, she has not stepped up and been a PM, so I question whether or not she has the stones to lead!!! I will admit that under the "winning PM gets to keep leading" format, she hasn't had much of a chance yet. Surya and James both held onto the PM job for long periods.All that being said, I have had Stefani as my "winner pick" since March 7th. I see the rest of you guys had Heidi!!!
Thanks TL. Now I'm trying to decide who to pick for 50 pts. Need to do the game today so I can also get the 50% early bird bonus!

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The MIT softball team fell to New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) rival, Wheaton College, at home on Saturday afternoon with a score of 6-5 in a close first game and 8-0 in the second. The Engineers dipped to 11-8 for the season and 2-4 in NEWMAC play, while the Lyons are now 16-10 and 6-2 in conference action.
The first game got off to a slow start for MIT, who trailed 6-0 in the fourth inning. At the bottom of the fourth, senior Anna Christensen (Vernon Hills, Ill.) scored off a double by classmate Leah Alpert (Needham, Mass.) and, a single by sophomore K.K. Wopat (Edwardsville, Ill.) allowed Alpert and sophomore Ellie Fodor (Trenton, Mich.) to make it home, making the score 6-3.
Sophomore Sarah Van Belleghem (Los Gatos, Calif.) scored at the bottom of the next inning and again at the bottom of the seventh. Even though the Engineers caught up greatly throughout the last innings of the game, it was not enough to catch up completely or take the lead.
Alpert was 2-for-4 with one run and three RBIs and Van Belleghem was the only MIT batter who earned two runs, going 2-for-4. In the first 3.2 innings, Fodor allowed seven hits and six runs and struck out 6. Freshman Alexandra Marshall (Glen Head, N.Y.) pitched the remaining 3.1 innings, allowing zero hits and zero runs and striking out six.
In the second game, MIT had a handful of opportunities to score, but were thwarted by the Lyons. At the bottom of the third, freshman Melissa Kreider (Branford, Conn.) doubled and advanced to third. Marshall walked, putting runners on first and third with two outs. Christensen got out at first, ending the inning and leaving two runners on base.
Both Kreider and Marshall were 1-for-2 in the second game. Marshall was at the mound for four innings, allowing four hits and six runs and striking out four. Fodor pitched the remaining two, allowing four hits and two runs, while striking out one.
The Engineers will return to action on Tuesday, April 9 when they travel a few miles down the road to face UMass Boston at 3:00 and 5:00 p.m.

It's time for Jerry Manuel to call in the dogs on his batting order experiment and return Jose Reyes from third to leading off.
In theory, the switch was to provide Jason Bay with more fastballs with Reyes on base as a steal threat. In reality, neither is hitting and it is time to return to the basics … and that begins with Reyes.
Reyes is out of his element in the three hole and you can see that in every swing-out-of-his shoes at-bat. Reyes has become the pop-up king. It is clear he has adjusted his game mentally and is trying to lift everything.
Personally, I think when they go back Reyes will be so entrenched in bad habits that he'll be totally lose.
As for Bay, he's not hitting anything, fastballs included.
"I've been seeing more fastballs because I can't hit them,'' said Bay, who hit in nine straight then has fallen into a funk going hitless in his last 15 at-bats and is batting just .238 on the season and on pace to strike out 191 times.
The Mets knew when they signed him that he'd be streaky, so maybe he'll figure it out. Then again, maybe he won't and will have the kind of power year David Wright had last season. Only thing, Wright made up for it with average and getting on base.
For the past five seasons we've been told Reyes has the potential to be this generation's Rickey Henderson. He, quite simply, has all the tools to be the game's premier leadoff hitter.
Angel Pagan, however, does not. So return to the fundamentals and put Reyes back into the spot where he has the best chance to perform.
A No. 2 needs to be patient, he needs to exercise bat control and put the ball in play. Hitting second snapped Wright out of slumps before and it might be time to think the same might work for Bay. And, if Reyes snaps out of it, Bay should be seeing those fastballs Manuel promised. If nothing else, it will remove what has been a consistent out in the middle of the order.
Wright is the team's best hitter in Carlos Beltran's absence and should go back to hitting third.
Quite honestly, if you tinker with Bay hitting second – and I doubt they will – that leaves a hole at No. 4. If not there are four options: Jeff Francoeur, who has been spotty lately; Ike Davis, who might have the best plate presence in the line-up and Rod Barajas, who is tied with Wright for the team lead in homers.
As Reyes played out of his game moving to third, I'd be wary of moving Davis to clean-up for fear of picking up bad habits.
I'd try Francoeur – who has hit there before – and have Davis bat fifth followed by Barajas. Then I'd go with Pagan and Luis Castillo, which in theory would bunch the speed together and consequently help Bay.
Whatever Manuel does, something needs to be done because this line-up isn't clicking. Manuel made the initial move out of desperate measures. Well, these are also desperate measures.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - UC Santa Barbara dominated Gonzaga on Friday night, but late in the first half it was the visiting Bulldogs who scored the only goal of the match to send the Gauchos to their third straight loss, 1-0.
UCSB (2-5-3) outshot Gonzaga (6-4-1) by a margin of 17-7, including 10-2 in the second half, but goalkeeper Jessie Thalman had six saves and the Bulldogs had one team save in the win.
Junior forwards Cristin Leverson and Christine Soma combined for the lone goal of the match at the 41:58 mark in the first half. Soma took a ball on the right end line and sent a pass through the goalie crease. The pass eluded several Gaucho defenders and Leverson, coming down the left side of the goal box, one-timed a shot past a sprawling Katie Wright, UCSB's junior goalkeeper. Gonzaga had few other opportunities to score and Wright had just two saves in the match.
The Gauchos had several outstanding scoring opportunities, primarily in the second half. During one sequence with about 20 minutes remaining, UCSB kept the ball in the Bulldog goal box for nearly a minute, but could manage just two shots, one on-frame. Senior midfielder Darci Gwartz, junior forwards Heather Young and Chandi Bickford and sophomore forward Sami Svrcek all had golden scoring opportunities in the second half, but none could knot the match.
In addition to its 17-7 advantage in shots and 7-3 edge in shots on goal, UCSB had 10 corner kicks to the Bulldogs one.
The Gauchos will return to action on Sunday, Oct. 1, when they travel to UC Davis for a match that kicks-off at noon. The contest against the Aggies will be the team's final non-conference outing before Big West play begins at home on Friday, Oct. 6 against Long Beach State.

The Smartest Cities Will "Look to the Skies" for a Wireless Network
By Amy Lignor
Creating and building a wireless network designed to provide access for quicker, easier, and cost-efficient service for remote areas is vital, it is also important to note that when it comes to the internet operating in huge cities, all of the same network qualities are needed as well. Airborne Wireless Network recognizes this need and can serve this demand.
There are many things all consumers should be aware of regarding today's internet service. Especially since they have to deal with the service, issues and connectivity problems on a daily basis. In fact, over 85 percent of the U.S. population access the Internet and online usage increases among all demographic groups continuously. It was only a year ago that the U.S. was one of the largest online markets in the world, with nearly 290 million internet users. The United States is also one of the highest-ranked countries in terms of internet freedom (*ranking 4th in the Freedom House Index). The demand in the U.S. for reliable internet service is high and growing.
It is a fact, major cities using the vast majority of bandwidth, are already processing so much information that an overload is bound to occur. In the recent past, everyone was thrilled with the concept of free public Wi-Fi. Cities and businesses were collaborating to advertise in busy areas and downtown districts as well. The outlook for public Wi-Fi appeared to be a wireless "paradise".
Unfortunately, the reality soon set in that the idea of an "easily accessible" wireless network at all times would be almost impossible to maintain with the massive volume of users leading to hubs and satellites unable to deliver the load. Plus, providers needed to think about how to deal with the new security concerns, increasing data demands and the high cost of building networks that would consistently deliver Wi-Fi service in major cities with millions of consumers vying to get on the Internet around the clock.
Cities are competing each and every day to become technological hubs. The future is digital with the internet being a key for growth, city expansion, employment and more. Many service providers with various ideas and systems of high-speed Internet (i.e., Google Fiber, and others) actually had to halt their planned expansion because of the cost and time required to lay miles of cable to support this tech onslaught preventing service and city growth. However, Airborne Wireless Network has now come to the forefront with an idea that is not only realistic but able to deliver the Wi-Fi service consumers and "Smart Cities" demand effectively and efficiently to solve these issues.
Airborne Wireless Network is developing a "fully meshed network" for WiFi and it does not require laying miles of cable. While current technologies only allow for a "single path" solution for WiFi connectivity, with cable or satellite signal from a single source, AWN will put into place a network using airplanes as the source to connect users to the Internet. This plan, with multiple paths of connectivity, will deliver a more reliable service since it does not rely on a single signal source but multiple paths plus prevent 'broadband" overload in major cities. Plus, the cost to implement, upgrade and maintain the network is far less expensive than cable and satellites.
Airborne Wireless Network's concept is simple and effective. By utilizing the thousands of airplanes traveling worldwide every day, there is a literal "Super Highway" in the sky just waiting to be accessed. This fully-meshed network will provide signals to come in from multiple directions and allow the signals to be routed around any obstructions which is completely unable to be done on the ground. Real-time connectivity is always maintained because the signal never has to be halted by events, consumer volume or even bad weather.
Thanks to the Internet, the world is more connected than ever before. The key is to make sure the WiFi service from the largest city to the most remote area can be maintained and grow to meet the demands of today's broadband needs as well as the future.
The growing broadband demand can be met with Airborne Wireless Network's forward-thinking approach and innovative solution developing a "Super Highway" in the sky. Everyone will benefit. Cities, in competition to become "technological hubs" will be able to meet the needs of all residents, businesses, and companies to unleash their economic future.

What about Rails to Trails?

No, BRT to LRT isn't a logical evolution; it's never happened and is never likely to happen. It's a pig in a poke.

it's actually "co-opt" from co-optation. but hey, I majored in political science

Yeah my English can be horrible at times. I was wondering about that when I wrote it but didn't take the time to check.
As for Rail to Trails Red, many times it's fine to do that, but many times once it becomes a trail, it's hard to get back without hurting a lot of people's feelings. Many times the trail was a temporary thing, but it becomes a permanent fixture in many minds. It's like putting grass on a lot. Once its grassed, its harder to develop because people think the grass meant the property was going to stay that way.

Here in Pugetopolis, most of those supporting BRT seem also to want to have more miles of HOV lanes laid. They do not REALLY believe in segregated ROW for transit, but they want transit dollars to pay for more pavement for autos, which, after they decide BRT is a failure (as it surely will be), then those lanes can be turned over to autos at no cost to car drivers. Voila - MORE FREE lanes on the "free"way!

this was the very thinking behind making a proposed transitway that was originally planned as a busway into the first light rail line in portland. they knew that if it was a busway next to a crowded freeway that it would through political pressure be made into a widened freeway and transit would lose its exclusive right of way.
- April 10, 2009 at 6:54 PM
To Anonymous #1: I agree. In fact, I believe this BRT over LRT movement is partially about co-optation.
Like I said, this promise of possible conversion from BRT to rail is often neglected, and in the end, the pavement just stays there indefinitely. That's why I consider it more important to go with rail, rather than a busway that will be (hypothetically) converted to rail some day, especially if a former rail line is paved over.
Paving over a rail line for a busway is objectionable to me. Who thinks it is a good idea? Why? (We did it here in Ottawa, and I don't know why it was a good idea.)

It's about political capital. Once the busway is built, there is not enough political capital to redo the whole corridor with rail.

All of these bus haters...man. Fixed rails or no, if a majority of the public want more traffic lanes, they will have them. This is what killed the streetcar in almost every large American City!
Luckily, we are approaching peak oil and the inevitable economic un-sustainability of the personal automobile. At that point, the middle-classes will be clamoring to get back on the bus, maligned for years as welfare on wheels. And what is the advantage of the bus over fixed rail? Its not fixed! Which means you needn't drive your car to the park-and-ride just to get on one.
Rights-of-way will function best when they are designed to accommodate as many modes of transportation as possible, allowing built-in flexibility for future routing and new technology. Trams share the road with cars all over Europe, and in several American cities--they will share the highways too. Here's what it might look like.
- April 13, 2009 at 10:20 PM
The "flexibility" argument against rail again. Buses are not as attractive as trains. Who's still with me against the idea of paving over rail lines for use as busways? Why is this still a good idea?
I'm not saying we should wage "mode wars". I am saying that rail, though it shouldn't always be used everywhere, should never, EVER, be substituted with buses!

In the race for governor, Republican Ovide Lamontagne and Democrat Maggie Hassan have prevailed in the New Hampshire primary.
DOVER — In the race for governor, Republican Ovide Lamontagne and Democrat Maggie Hassan have prevailed in the New Hampshire primary.
It was evident soon after the polls closed Tuesday that Republican Congressmen Frank Guinta and Charles Bass had also easily carried their primary races.
In the Republican primary, Lamontagne had captured 72 percent of the vote, compared with the 26 percent garnered by his major opponent, Litchfield conservative Kevin Smith, shortly before 9 p.m. Those tallies were based on reports from 16 percent of precincts in the state. Smith conceded the race before 9:30 p.m., according to the Associated Press.
Manchester Republican Bob Tarr received 1 percent of the primary vote.
With 17 percent of precincts reporting, Hassan had taken a 60 percent to 32 percent lead over her major primary opponent, Jackie Cilley, shortly before 9 p.m., according to the Associated Press. That tally was reported shortly before 9 p.m. Tuesday.
Political newcomer Bill Kennedy had received 8 percent of the vote.
The Associated Press had called the race in Hassan's favor shortly after 10 p.m. Tuesday.
The governor's race is among the highlights of Tuesday's primary election, which includes the first open race for governor in years. Many candidates were also competing for the first time in new voting districts during the Sept. 11 primary.
Election officials and voters alike are also using today's election as a trial run of New Hampshire's new voter identification requirements, which will go into full effect in the general election in November. Voters are being asked to voluntarily present photo identification by election officials before they receive a ballot.
In Newmarket, voters have expressed both support for and disdain of the new identification requirements, according to Town Clerk Becky I. Benvenuti. By 10:15 a.m., a few hours after polls opened in the morning, 14 people had neglected to bring proper identification, and another six had refused, on principle, to show identification, Benvenuti said.
"I guess the best thing to say is I've noticed a lot of passion on either side of this law," Newmarket Town Moderator Clay Mitchell said. "There are some people who are very supportive. There are some people who oppose it very much."
The voter identification law was passed by New Hampshire's Republican Legislature in 2012. It will phase in a photo identification requirement, beginning with this election cycle.
During today's primary, any voter who did not present an approved photo identification was still permitted to vote. During the general election on Nov. 6, voters without ID will be allowed to vote after signing a so-called "challenged voter" affidavit.
Hassan and Lamontagne are seeking to replace retiring Democrat Gov. John Lynch, a popular moderate who won four two-year terms. Republicans are eager after eight years to reclaim the governor's seat, but candidates in both parties are struggling to get voters to recognize their names. In a poll done last month, undecided was the winner.
Lamontagne, a 54-year-old Manchester lawyer, stressed his experience as a business lawyer and working with charities makes him better qualified.
Hassan, a former Senate majority leader and 54-year-old lawyer from Exeter, argues the key to prosperity is education. Hassan says an educated workforce is the place to start in rebuilding the economy. She would restore aid cut under Republicans to the University System of New Hampshire in exchange for a tuition freeze and more slots for resident students.
Hassan says she had to bring people together as Senate majority leader to get results and would do the same as governor.

It's tough out there in the solar manufacturing space. But don't count American companies out yet.
General Electric announced this week it will open a new 400-MW solar manufacturing facility for producing cadmium-telluride thin film panels in Colorado — creating 355 local jobs in the process.
The announcement comes after a round of high-profile closures at solar manufacturing facilities in the U.S. due to extremely competitive pricing in the global PV market (see "Are the Chinese Using Predatory Pricing to Knock America Out of Solar Manufacturing?"). In 2009, GE closed a manufacturing plant in Delaware that produced conventional crystalline-based solar modules. Today, it has restructured its solar investments and focused on thin film technologies.
At scale, thin film solar costs much less to produce. Industry leader First Solar is able to manufacture cadmium-telluride solar modules at $0.75 per watt, which is $.025 lower than the best conventional PV. But efficiencies are much lower — First Solar modules are about 11.7 percent efficient, compared with a 15.7% efficient module for polycrystalline solar.
GE says its cadmium-telluride thin film modules are 13 percent efficient, making them higher than First Solar.
Here's more from the GE annoucement:
GE will locate the factory in an existing building in Aurora, just east of Denver. This location, which also is in proximity to GE's existing solar center of excellence, enables an accelerated start-up schedule with production equipment installation beginning in January 2012. At capacity, the new factory will produce enough panels per year to power 80,000 homes and will be larger than 11 football fields. When complete, the new solar factory will highlight a $600 million investment in GE's solar business.
In support of its expected growth in the solar space, GE also announced plans to create 100 new positions in New York.
Although the competitiveness of the global solar manufacturing market is making it difficult for U.S. producers to compete, many analysts agree that innovative technologies with major cost or efficiency gains will help. GE says its new plant will be completed in 2013.

With all the buzz building behind Judd Apatow and Paul Feig's "Bridesmaids," it was only a matter of time before similarly themed comedies started cropping up. So it's no surprise that equally comic production powerhouse Gary Sanchez — the shingle run by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay — are getting into the game.
THR reports that a pretty great cast led by Kirsten Dunst, Adam Scott, Lizzy Caplan and Casey Wilson ("Saturday Night Live") are set to star in "Bachelorette" (a working title for now that is likely to change). Written by Leslye Headland ("Terriers") — who will also be directing — the story follows three best friends (Caplan and Dunst) who are invited to act as bridesmaids at the wedding of a girl they called "Pigface" in high school. Caplan will play the girl with a Playboy bunny body combined with the wit of Larry David, while Dunst will be her "crisp and severe" counterpart. No word yet on the roles for Scott and Wilson; the third best friend is yet to be cast.
The budget on this one is going to be a minuscule $3 million and should everything come together, it will shoot this summer in New York City. "Party Down" fans will be heartened to see Henry and Casey back together. As for Dunst, she seems to be entering her post-"Spider-Man" career with some interesting choices. She's got Lars Von Trier's "Melancholia," Walter Salles' "On The Road," the sci-fi romance "Upside Down" and now this film all on the horizon. Not too shabby at all. But it looks like the "Bridesmaids" folks will need to find a new name for any potential sequel.

Tolkien Estate 'Settles' Dispute Over Historical Fiction Book With JRR Tolkien As A Character
from the too-bad dept
According to the settlement, the book will now be released with a modified reference to Tolkien on the cover and will also include the disclaimer, "This is a work of fiction which is neither endorsed nor connected with The JRR Tolkien Estate or its publisher."I certainly understand why a settlement would be reached, but really it's too bad that any changes were made. Hillard had a strong case, and the estate had little or no case. Yet, now that it was able to pressure the author into making some changes (even if they were small), it emboldens the estate to continue its silly and counterproductive campaign.

Anna Gunn
Long before Anna Gunn played the worrisome wife of Walter White on "Breaking Bad," she had a career in theater, television, film and even as a voice actress. She rose to fame playing the jealous and perplexed Martha Bullock on HBO's "Deadwood" (2005). Before that, Gunn made television appearances on "Seinfeld" (1993), "ER" (1999) and "Six Feet Under" (2004). The New Mexico native also starred in films alongside Angelina Jolie in "Without Evidence" (1995) and beside Jon Voight in "Enemy of the State" (1998). Her voice can be heard in the "Legacy of Kain" video game series as the character Ariel. She's pictured above left in the 1996 Taper play "Hysteria."

Sarah Hyland Covers 'Glamoholic' December 2012
Sarah Hyland is gorgeous on the cover of Glamoholic magazine's December 2012 issue.
Here's what the 22-year-old Modern Family actress had to share with the mag:
On movies vs. television: "That would be cool doing movies, but I love television. So I don't know, but I don't think anything could top Modern Family for me."
On her film Struck by Lightning: "I hope people take away the lesson of never letting your creativity or imagination go. That if you have a dream or passion, you should go for it and not take 'no' as an answer. It's impertinent that young children, even teenagers, should read, write and most importantly dream."
On working with the Rebel Wilson, Chris Colfer, and more: "It was such an amazing experience. Rebel is one of the funniest human beings I have ever met. Out of all the amazing comedic actors I've worked with over my career, Rebel was the hardest person to work with purely because you couldn't keep a straight face. Christina [Hendricks] was such a sweetheart and so kind to everyone on set. And then there's Chris, who is not only an amazing person but one of the most well-rounded, talented people, if not the most, in young Hollywood. I love to see how his brain works."

In the Elder and Health Law Clinic, students represent people over 60 years of age with issues unique to the aging population, including nursing home residents' rights, alternatives to conservatorship, health care access, social security, Medicare/Medi-Cal, estate planning, and elder abuse. In addition, students may focus on the civil legal needs of those experiencing homelessness, regardless of age, as part of a Medical Legal Partnership with community health clinics and shelters. These needs include expungement of criminal records, reduction of fines fees, access to public benefits and child support modification.
The issues presented by cases in the Elder and Health Law Clinic challenge views of aging in our society and demonstrate how sound counsel and advocacy will have a beneficial impact on community elders. Many of the cases call upon the student attorney to consider the practicality of alternative dispute resolution methods to resolve legal matters. Elder law (including health issues for the elderly) is one of the country's growing areas of legal specialization. Students acquire a command of complicated substantive state and federal law, as well as a high level of ethical competence. Many cases require an interdisciplinary approach to lawyering, where clinic students have the opportunity to represent elders in court and on transactional matters concerning planning for death, incapacity and a variety of other issues.
The Elder and Health Law Clinic has received much public acclaim for excellence. It is one of a select few law school elder law programs in California to receive a 2011 cy près award. The cy près funding enabled the Clinic to hire a Clinical Legal Fellow to develop an elder financial abuse community education and advocacy component. The Clinic also received the 2011 Making a Difference award from the Sacramento County Mental Health Older Adult Committee at the 31st annual Mental Health Aging Conference. What students learn in related academic classes enriches their clinical experience. Melissa Brown is an experienced practitioner in elder law and brings her practice examples to the classroom. Professor J. Clark Kelso and talented adjunct faculty practitioners who teach health law courses help students integrate academic theory and practical experience. Students then use this integrated experience in real cases in the Elder and Health Law Clinic.
"My clinic experience provided me with real life situations and not the typical classroom environment. I interviewed clients, conducted factual investigation and legal research for my cases, drafted legal documents and pleadings, and represented clients at hearings. I was able to see how legal issues play out and are resolved in the real world, and as a result I am a better prepared attorney."
— Cheryl Robertson '10, Litigation Attorney at Girardi & Keese
Melissa Brown brings a wealth of personal casework experience to her students in the academic Elder Law and Social Policy course and in the Clinic. In her 28 years of private legal practice she has served as an arbitrator for workers' compensation matters and has litigated cases in state and federal court. Brown is well known as a national expert on Elder Law and Social Security Disability, as well as health care planning and decision-making, and is co-author of the widely-used book, Advising the Elderly or Disabled Client.
"Clinic work is the perfect experience for our students - a combination of advocacy, ethics and professional growth. Best of all, there are some very grateful clients who couldn't have this level of representation and care without us."
— Melissa Brown, Associate Professor of Lawyering Skills

Definition of Chlorfenvinphos:
Chlorfenvinphos is the common name of an insecticide used to control insect pests on livestock. It was also used to control household pests such as flies, fleas, and mites. The pure chemical is a colourless liquid with a mild odour. [1]
This is the common definition for Chlorfenvinphos, other definitions can be discussed in the article
Chlorfenvinphos was introduced in the US in 1963 where it was used until 1991. No information is available about the volumes in which it was used.
Chlorfenvinphos enters the environment from run-off after rainfall and leaching from hazardous waste sites. After it has leached, it may be present in the soil and underground water. It has a water solubility of 130mg/l and therefore may be present in surface water after it has run off the land. It has a moderate tendency to adsorb to particles. In water is very stable although some biodegradation might occur by micro-organisms.
It may have a low to moderate tendency to bioaccumulate, however no experimental data on fishes are available. There is also no information available on whether it biomagnifies.[1]
It is very toxic for fishes, some species die at concentrations above 25 µg/l, although some can tolerate concentrations up to 1 mg/l. Zooplankton are even more vulnerable, some species die at concentrations above 0.4 µg/l. [2]

Dyson challenges its engineers to build racers from spare parts (video!)
Posted by Andrey Malskiy Categories: Smart Home, Mods / Hacks, Videos
UK-based vacuum cleaner manufacturer Dyson recently held a competition to see which of its engineers could design the fastest racecar using just spare vacuum cleaner parts. Just like the vacuum clears, there were some very creative car ideas. Some worked well, while others were novel in concept only. Check out the video above to see the geekiest race to take place so far this year.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In the first meeting between both programs since 1996, the MIT women's lacrosse team emerged with a 13-9 victory over New England College on Saturday. Erica Little led the Engineers (4-2) with four goals and three assists as Katie Palasz paced the Pilgrims (3-4) with five points (four goals, one assist).
The Cardinal and Gray got on the board when Little set up Laura Wacker after 1:02 elapsed, which was followed by Little's own unassisted goal. Back-to-back strikes by Palasz and a goal from Rebecca Harvey put NEC in front, 3-2, at the 20:02 mark. MIT responded with six unanswered goals to take the lead for good. Stephanie Leger's solo effort sparked the run as Katie Kauffman and Little tacked on free-position shots. The Engineers capitalized on a pair of overlapping yellow cards assessed to the Pilgrims by registering two man-up goals. Little picked up her second assist of the day on a Kauffman marker before she completed the hat-trick at 11:57. Leger capped the run on a free-position goal just over three minutes later as Harvey ended the Pilgrims' scoring drought with 3:28 left in the half. A free-position shot from Kauffman gave the Engineers a 9-4 advantage at the break.
MIT quickly extended its margin when Little found Leger for a man-down marker early in the second stanza. NEC continued to attack, using three consecutive goals to cut its deficit in half (10-7) midway through the frame. Palasz lit the lamp before setting up Amanda Naime while Amanda Kennedy converted a feed from Bickford. A free-position shot by Kelly Duncan increased the Engineers' cushion to 11-7 at 12:13. The Pilgrims maintained their momentum as they narrowed the gap to two (11-9) courtesy of unassisted goals from Palasz and Harvey with just over six minutes left to play. Little's free-position shot with 5:04 gave the hosts some breathing room while Wacker's tally secured the win.
In addition to her hat-trick, Leger collected eight of MIT's 13 draw controls. Wacker added three groundballs and two caused turnovers as Alex Wright posted four groundballs and two caused turnovers. In net, Allison Hamilos collected eight saves and six groundballs.
Palasz added three groundballs, two draw controls, and two caused turnovers to her team-high scoring performance. Naime registered four groundballs, two draw controls, and two caused turnovers while Meredith Merce and Danielle O'Leary bolstered the Pilgrims' defense with three groundballs and two caused turnovers apiece. Goalie Alexandra DiRico compiled eight saves and four groundballs.
Both squads continue non-conference play on Monday, April 5. MIT will travel to Bridgewater State College while NEC will host Keene State College.

NEW YORK � Unless it can be shown that up-tempo offenses lead to more injuries, Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury sees no reason to slow down the game with rule changes.
Kingsbury is heading into his first season with the Red Raiders after being Texas A&M�s offensive coordinator last season. He has been a part of some of college football�s most prolific offenses as a quarterback at Texas Tech under coach Mike Leach from 1998-2002 and as a coach with the Aggies and Houston.
Last year, Kingsbury helped A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel win the Heisman Trophy and set numerous Southeastern Conference records.
Alabama coach Nick Saban and Arkansas coach Bret Bielema are among those who have suggested the NCAA consider tweaking the rules to limit how quickly offenses can run plays and allow defenses more time to substitute players.
�I would have to see some scientific or statistical information showing an increase in injuries, because to me right now it�s just talk,� Kingsbury told The Associated Press in an interview at a Manhattan hotel. �You want me to play slower, well, OK, you need to get smaller, less strong defensive linemen. To me, it�s asking to do that.
�Stop recruiting these beasts up front and we won�t run as many plays.�
From Oregon to Texas A&M to West Virginia, fast-paced spread offense that run upward of 75 plays per game are all the rage in college football. Scoring reached record levels last season, even in the SEC, which has prided itself on its stingy defenses during a run of seven straight national championships.
�I think if you have the right personnel that offense will work anywhere,� Kingsbury said. �We�ve always believed that. I think last year proved if you have the right guys you can run it in any league.�
Eighteen of 124 FBS teams averaged at least 80 plays per game in 2012. Marshall led with 92.8. Texas A&M ranked eighth with 83.5.
Alabama, which uses a more traditional pro-style offense and only picks up the pace when it has to at the end of a game or half, ranked 114th at 66.3 plays per game. Bielema�s Wisconsin team averaged 68.2 plays per game (99th in the nation) in 2012.
Kingsbury said the style of play, especially in the Big 12, where half the teams averaged at least 76 plays per game, has changed what it means to play good defense.
�There are some really good players in the Big 12 on defenses, but yards per game is through the roof. That�s just the nature of the game,� he said. �If Alabama or LSU or those guys faced these offenses all the time, each and every week, it would be different. That�s just a fact.
�We�re big on being great in the red zone, holding people to field goals and creating turnovers. I think the yards are going to be up there. It�s just the way the game is set up these days.�

The GX70 is the largest of the two gaming notebooks at 8.6 pounds and packing a 17.3" display. The GX70 uses the A10-5750M APU and a Radeon 8970M discrete mobile GPU to deliver gaming performance to the 1080p display. The system is also capable of outputting to multiple displays over HDMI and supports AMD's Eyefinity 3D technology. On the outside, the MSI GX70 features a 17.3" 1920 x 1080p display with an anti-reflective coating as well as a SteelSeries gaming keyboard.
Meanwhile, the MSI GX60 is a 15-inch notebook that weighs 7.7 pounds. This gaming notebook uses an AMD A10-5750M APU and a Radeon 7970M mobile discrete GPU. Further, the GX60 has a 15.6" 1080p anti-reflective display and SteelSeries gaming keyboard.
MSI claims that the new AMD Richland APUs will give its gaming notebooks much better battery life. The new GX70 and GX60 will have up to 40% better graphical performance compared to previous generations thanks to the new APUs and discrete cards. According to MSI VP of Sales Andy Tung, "the GX70 and GX60 deliver the ultimate sensory experience for both professional and amateur gamers." More information on the new gaming notebooks can be found on this MSI press release.
I like the idea of a gaming notebook, but I just haven't had good luck with them. Maybe if I win the lottery someday I'll buy one, but I think they're just too spendy for most people.

Mathematics is the study of numbers, structures, and
associated relationships using rigorously defined
literal, numerical and operational symbols. Given
certain conditions about systems of numbers or other
structures, mathematicians derive conclusions based
on logical arguments. Basic mathematical skills enable
a person to solve numerical problems encountered in
daily life, and more advanced skills have numerous
applications in the physical, social and life sciences.
The mathematics curriculum includes courses that
range from basic skills through differential equations.
The basic skills and associate degree level courses
provide students with the mathematical preparation
necessary for study in other disciplines, as well as for
degree and transfer requirements. Successful completion of a mathematics degree will develop
competence in mathematics through differential and
integral calculus, providing an adequate background
for employment in many technological and scientific
areas. Furthermore, it provides a firm foundation for
students planning to study mathematics, engineering,
economics, computer science, physical, or life
Most of these occupations require education beyond
the associate degree, and some may require a
graduate degree. The following list is not intended as
a comprehensive list of career options in mathematics:
actuary, appraiser, assessor, auditor, biometrician,
budget analyst, controller, computer analyst,
computer programmer, demographer,
econometrician, engineering analyst, epidemiologist,
financial analyst, investment analyst, management
scientist, operations researcher, research
mathematician, statistician, surveyor, systems analyst,
teacher, technical writer, and urban planner.
Students who complete the program will be able to:
