LONDON/SEATTLE (Reuters) - British aviation investigators identified an emergency beacon made by Honeywell International Inc as a likely source of last week's blaze on a Boeing Co 787 Dreamliner and called for it to be turned off, spurring a rally in Boeing shares by relieved investors.
Concerns about the carbon composite jet soon resurfaced, however, after a Japan Airlines 787 returned to Boston's Logan airport a with a possible faulty fuel pump.
A spokesman for the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said that incident was not an emergency, but nervous investors sent Boeing shares down 1.5 percent in afterhours trade. Japan Airlines spokesman Hisanori Iizuka said the pilot decided to turn back "as a precaution."
The 787 program has been plagued by problems since January, with aircraft grounded after the overheating of lithium-ion back-up batteries.
UK officials said the fire at the parked Ethiopian Airlines at Heathrow was not related to the January incidents. The Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) said a locator beacon and its lithium-based battery was the only equipment on the plane that was near the fire and had the power to start it, and called regulators to review the use of these beacons.
Boeing said the locator beacon is not required by U.S. Federal Aviation Administration regulations, although some other nations do mandate their use. The plane maker said it would be removed from its newest model plane.
"ELTs are not required as part of the airplane design. There was no requirement to operate the ELTs during 787 flight test," said Boeing spokesman Marc Birtel.
The beacons, also called emergency locator transmitters (ELTs) are powered by non-rechargeable, lithium-manganese batteries used for decades in products like digital cameras, walkie-talkies and pacemakers.
For now, airlines will keep flying with their emergency beacons in place until the FAA instructs them to do otherwise. With most big jets closely monitored on radar and with other means for rescuers to locate downed jets, the beacons, required in most parts of the world, are not critical for safe flight.
The AAIB has left it up to the FAA to decide on removing the beacons, said a Japan's Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) official.
"Things won't moved forward until the FAA makes a decision," he said, declining to be identified as he is not authorized to talk to the media.
Japanese airline ANA, which owns 20 of the 68 Dreamliners currently operating, said it would await instructions from the JCAB.
In Washington, the FAA said it was reviewing the report, which pointing to a lack of fire detection or suppression in the space above the cabin said, "had this event occurred in flight it could pose a significant safety concern."
The AAIB said it is still unclear whether the fire onboard the Ethiopian jet was triggered by a malfunction in the beacon's battery or some external force - such as an electrical short circuit - and said the probe would continue.
While the UK report focused on the beacon made by U.S. conglomerate Honeywell, aviation experts said 787's higher humidity, which helps keeps passengers more comfortable, may have been an issue. Water can conduct electricity, so high moisture levels could increase the likelihood of short circuits.
"The investigators are looking at everything, humidity, condensation and ... how things are installed," said one industry source.
They are checking if there was enough insulation to prevent moisture from condensing and short circuiting systems such as the beacon, said the source, who was not authorized to speak publicly.
A source close to Boeing, speaking on condition that he not be named, said the 787 may need better isolation of electrical components from the plane's high humidity, something industry people refer to as "rain in the plane".
"There's nothing about this finding that indicates a lack of safety with the plane, but on the other hand there's no conclusive proof that a system unrelated to the plane is to blame," said Richard Aboulafia, aviation consultant with the Virginia-based Teal Group.
Analyst Yan Derocles of Paris-based Oddo Securities agreed. "We have to wait for the conclusions and at that point it could be a problem for Boeing, because the succession of incidents could chip away at confidence in the 787," he said.
Honeywell pledged to help Boeing and the airlines as needed, but cautioned that it was premature to jump to conclusions about the fire. It said it did not expect any financial impact from the AAIB's recommended action.
The battery cells in the beacon showed signs of "disruption" the AAIB report said. "It is not clear however, whether the combustion in the area of the ELT was initiated by a release of energy within the batteries or by an external mechanism such as an electrical short."
The battery linked to the London fire is made by Newark, New York-based Ultralife Corp, according to an industry source. Ultralife did not return calls or emails seeking comment. Its shares fell 1.8 percent to $3.76.
The AAIB said Honeywell had produced some 6,000 ELTs of the same design, which are fitted to a wide range of aircraft, and this had been the only significant "thermal incident."
UK investigator AAIB said last week's fire was unrelated to the January incidents on 787s that grounded the advanced carbon composite aircraft for more than three months.
Investigators have yet to determine what prompted the batteries involved in those cases to melt down. Boeing resolved the issue by encasing the battery on a fireproof steel box, and cutting a vent in the plane to dump smoke from any overheating batteries in the future.
The fuel pump warning on the JAL flight from Boston on Thursday was unconnected with either the melted batteries or the emergency beacons, the carrier said.
Flight JL007, bound for Tokyo with 184 passengers on board, got a maintenance message related to the fuel pump about three hours after leaving Boston, JAL said. The plane landed safely back at the airport at 6:16 p.m. (2216 GMT), and there was no sign of smoke, it added.
Shares of Boeing closed 2.7 percent higher at $107.63, near the high of $108.15 reached a week ago before the fire. The Boston incident then saw the shares slip to $106. Honeywell shares rose 0.6 percent on Thursday to close at $82.97.
JAL's shares dipped 0.9 percent in early trading in Tokyo, with ANA unchanged from yesterday's close, compared with a 1.1 percent decline in the benchmark Nikkei 225 index.

bactotype MAP PCR Kit
For sensitive and highly-specific detection of DNA from Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis
Effective April 1, 2018, product available exclusively from INDICAL BIOSCIENCE (formerly QIAGEN Leipzig). Learn more.
MAP is the cause of paratuberculosis (Johne's disease), a chronic inflammatory intestinal disease of ruminants, which occurs worldwide. The bactotype MAP PCR Kit is a highly sensitive and specific solution for the detection of DNA from Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) in fecal samples and tissue samples (e.g., small intestine, mesenterial lymph nodes) from ruminants and culture.
The bactotype MAP PCR Kit is for veterinary use only. In Germany: Licensed in accordance with §17c German Animal Disease Act (pending).
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is based on the amplification of specific regions of the pathogen genome. In real-time PCR, the amplified product is detected using fluorescent dyes. These are usually linked to oligonucleotide probes that bind specifically to the amplified product. Monitoring the fluorescence intensities during the PCR run (i.e., in real time) allows the detection of the accumulating product without the need to re-open the reaction tubes afterwards. The bactotype MAP PCR Kit contains all of the necessary reagents for the detection of MAP DNA, including a positive control, a negative control and an internal control.
The internal control DNA permits tests for successful purification and amplification by adding to the DNA purification procedure. The kit uses two specific primer/probe combinations: one for MAP DNA yielding FAM fluorescence and one for the internal control yielding MAX fluorescence. The Positive Control contains MAP DNA and serves to prove the functionality of the pathogen assay, for example, the correct setup of the reaction mix.
The kit contains a ready-to-use mix with all of the necessary reagents for the detection of DNA from Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) and the required positive and negative controls.
DNA is extracted from the starting material (e.g., feces) using a suitable sample preparation kit. Please refer to the supplementary protocols associated with the QIAamp cador Pathogen Mini Kit and/or QIAamp DNA Stool Mini Kit. The extracted DNA is used for the PCR, which is run on a thermal cycler.
The bactotype MAP PCR Kit is for detection of DNA from Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) in samples from ruminants and culture slants.

Louie Giglio Attends 'The Voice' Finale Alongside 'The Bible' Producer Mark Burnett
The fourth season finale of "The Voice" took place last night in Los Angeles with Passion movement founder Louie Giglio in attendance. Giglio took to Instagram to post a photo of him, his wife, Shelley, as well as "The Voice" producer Mark Burnett, and his wife, Roma Downey, on the set of the show.
Burnett and Downey, who co-produced the mega-hit miniseries "The Bible" on The History Channel earlier this year, are well known to be connected to Christian leaders. Downey told The Christian Post on Tuesday, "Louie and Shelley are good friends of ours and fans of the show! It was a really fun night with such amazing performances…'The Voice' really is great entertainment for all the family."
Last night was the first part of the finale frenzy showcasing the best of the remaining three contestants: Danielle Bradbery, Michelle Chamuel and Christian duo, the Swon Brothers. All of them will hit the stage for their final performance and "The Voice" season four winner will be announced tonight.
The Swon brothers, who were taken under Blake Shelton's wings, hail from Muskogee, Okla., and were raised by Christian parents and are no strangers to performing as they did so at several churches while growing up. In the past, "The Voice" has had a number of Christian contestants aside from the Swon Brothers, including megachurch pastor Dr. Tony Evans's son, Anthony Evans. He was chosen to be on Christina Aguilera's team during the show's third season. But along with his shot at stardom came backlash from supporters confused about him attempting to go secular. However, with six albums under his belt as a Christian recording artist and worship leader, his big break had already come before becoming a contestant on the show.
Tonight's star-studded live finale will begin at 9 p.m. EST on NBC.

Analytics | News
San Juan College, a community college in New Mexico, is implementing business analytics software to share data across departments.
The community college had been looking for a way to analyze disparate data across departments and use the resulting information to report progress and provide better service. The college reviewed five business analytics vendors and ended up selecting Tableau Software based on recommendations from other educational institutions and because it fit the college's criteria, including ease of use, functionality, and ability to access data from disparate sources.
"It's important that departments across campus can get insights into their own data since they're the ones best equipped to make decisions," said Laurie Gruel, senior director of strategic development at San Juan College, in a prepared statement.
According to information on Tableau's site, the tool can help higher education institutions analyze student data, such as enrollment statistics, achievement, and demographics; target areas of the country for alumni activities and development; and prepare Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) reports and other reports.
San Juan College plans to use Tableau to report progress to its board of directors and other internal and external communities, and eventually share some analytics visualizations publicly on its website.
"San Juan College, like most colleges, has many different departments and data sources it needs to bring together in order to make informed decisions," said Elissa Fink, chief marketing officer at Tableau Software, in a prepared statement. "Tableau provides a way to blend this data and present it in a visual and compelling way so key decision makers can reach better outcomes."

A 20-yard pass from Brandon Weeden to Benjamin Watson (shedding the tackle attempt of Miles Burris) has the Browns at the Oakland 28 to open the second quarter.
The Browns also moved the ball well on an earlier possession until Weeden threw an interception to Matt Giordano. Two possession, two punts for the Raiders, although they moved the ball at times on both. Fairly evenly matched game between 3-8 teams.

Getting old and embracing the bitter
I remember reading an article about the development of taste buds, and how we are born with a preference for sweetness and an aversion to bitterness. As children, we actually have more sweet receptors on our tongues than we will have later as adults. It isn't until our teenage years that we begin to lose our preference for the sweet and start to enjoy forays into sour, salty and bitter.
I notice that the older I get, the more I appreciate new flavors, particularly in dishes that combine tastes that I love with ones with which I am less familiar. Lately, I'm embracing the bitter that comes with ingredients like radicchio, broccoli rabe, mustard greens and tahini, and what these ingredients can bring to a dish when combined with more familiar tastes and textures.
Tahini is bewitching me at the moment. This paste made from ground, toasted sesame seeds is an ancient, North African, Greek, Turkish, Middle Eastern and East Asian ingredient. It tastes nutty, like peanut or almond butter, and it can add a healthy creaminess to a dish or sauce. But it also brings a vaguely bitter, slightly dry note, so it can really change a dish's direction, bringing it to a new taste dimension. It's also a vegan ingredient and it's chock full of healthy fatty acids.
If you store it a long time or if you buy it from a grocer that doesn't sell much tahini, it will have separated into oil and a hard lump of ground seeds. Don't worry though. Scrape it all into a blender or go at it with an immersion blender and it will return to its creamy, emulsified, original texture just like that.
My husband and I cannot get enough of this recipe, Wilted Kale and Roasted Potato Winter Salad, which takes the familiar flavors and textures of creamy olive-oil roasted potatoes and garlic; melted, browned and salty Parmesan cheese; and fresh, chewy kale, and sends them to a new place with a tahini sauce that's tart with fresh lemon juice and sharp and rich with just the right amount of raw garlic.
I found the recipe at www.epicurious.com, which if you haven't explored yet, you really must. You can search for recipes by ingredient and by type of dish, and you can save your favorites in your own recipe box. There is a free mobile phone app, but there's also one that costs $1.99 that lets you sync your phone and desktop recipe boxes so that when you're food shopping and you see a beautiful ingredient, you can leaf through your recipes on the spot and make a dinner decision on the fly.
I'm really falling in love with this website. It makes you brave because it's a great resource when you want to try an unfamiliar vegetable or new type of seafood.
Be warned. This recipe offers a couple of taste challenges. Raw kale is delicious, but it is chewy. The hot oil and potato mixture doesn't really make it wilt that much. I use a high-sided roasting pan for cooking the potatoes then at the appropriate moment, I add the raw kale to that hot pan, toss to combine, then cover the pan with aluminum foil or a cookie sheet, just to hold in that steam and heat and get as much wilt as I can.
Although I haven't tried it yet, I think you also could blanch the kale first, making sure to squeeze out any excess moisture before you add it to the cheesy roasted potatoes.
I think I may like this dish even better the second time around. The leftovers are just brilliant when eaten at my desk at night after a brief reheating in the microwave.
Just one other tip. Double the tahini sauce. Use half of it in this recipe and put the other half in your refrigerator. Then, over the next couple of weeks, drizzle it over everything — grilled steak, lamb, chicken or fish, roasted green beans, broccoli, carrots or sweet potatoes. If you're like me, you'll find a lot of favorites made even more delicious by this lovely sauce.
Wilted Kale and Roasted Potato Winter Salad
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces (works fine with non-Yukon Gold spuds)
1/3 cup olive oil (seems like a lot, but it contributes to the salad dressing)
4 garlic cloves (3 thinly sliced and 1 minced)
1/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (I use a combination of grated Parmesan and Romano cheeses)
¼ cup well-stirred tahini
2 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (only fresh will do)
¾ pounds kale, stems and center ribs discarded and leaves very thinly sliced crosswise
Preheat oven to 450 degrees with rack in upper third.
Toss potatoes with oil and ½ teaspoon each of salt and pepper on a large 4-sided sheet pan (I use a high-sided roasting pan), then spread evenly. Roast, stirring once, 10 minutes. Stir in sliced garlic and roast 10 minutes more. Sprinkle with cheese and roast until cheese is melted and golden in spots, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, puree tahini, water, lemon juice, minced garlic and a ½ teaspoon of salt in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. Add a bit of water if sauce is too thick. (I don't think you need any salt here. And you don't need a blender, either. Just whisk all the ingredients together.)
Toss kale with hot potatoes and any garlic and oil remaining in pan (I toss in the hot roasting pan, then cover and let sit for a bit to get all the wilt I can), then toss with tahini sauce and add salt and pepper to taste.

Re: Clone Rebellion RPG
"Ok, since most of the gaurds are down we can get into the base." Sgt Clay gathered his squad and rushed for the door. "I'll set the thermal tape up." Sgt Clay quickly grabbed out his thermal tape and started taping around the door's outline. "ah-done............here Sgt, you do the honors." He gave the button to Sgt Maverick. "Heh, thanx..." Once Maverick pressed that button, it was a bit of white noise and smoke from there. "GO,GO,GO!!" Maverick moved faster than anyone, quickly entering the fortress. Through the fading smoke, the troopers heard two gunshots, and then silence. "Nice work taken out those snipers Sgt Maverick." Sgt Clay almost jealous, that he didnt get the first shot. The troopers, stunned at their Sgt's skill as they walked past the two scout troopers laying on the floor of the complex. "Now troopers, search the fortress for any remaining imperials.I'll try to contact the Commander on a holo-message." Sgt Clay commanded. The troopers gave a slight nodd, and one or two had said, "-sir.". The small fortress was loaded with commlinks, CPUs. Sgt Maverick took a quick look at a Delta's leg, for he was limping slightly. "Ya alright there, soldier?" Maverick called out. The trooper swung his head around, "Uh...y-yes, sir! I think I'll make it." the trooper trying not to show pain. Sgt Maverick simply responded with, "Good man, good man..."

Flint Hills Human Rights Project
The Flint Hills Human Rights Project is a non-profit in Manhattan, KS. We are all volunteers. We support the legal, political, social and educational needs of the community who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender and their friends and family. This can be challenging because we are a small community in a conservative area. Our main project right now is having sexual orientation and gender identity added to Manhattan's human rights ordinance. This would make Manhattan only the second city in Kansas to protect the rights of gays and lesbians and the first to include gender identity. We don't want to seem only political. We sponsor educational programs and social events. Google Flint Hills Human Rights Project and you should see our Facebook page listed. It is open to the public, including non-Facebook members.
Our main target is person's living in the Manhattan area who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. Second, it would be person's visiting or moving to Manhattan. We have a very unique demographic. Manhattan's population is just over 50,000. Of that, almost 20,000 are college students attending Kansas State University. We also have a large number of soldiers who are posted at Ft. Riley, just 15 miles from Manhattan. We obviously need to reach these younger populations, but we cannot at the expense of the local, more mature members of the community. The locals are our main financial source and to be honest, so much in the community is geared towards students that the locals often feel left out.
We need something eye catching that can be used as the masthead on our website, but then adjusted for letterhead and other uses. Because we are a nonprofit with little funding it needs to look good in black and white. Full color is preferred for the website.
We are very open to you being creative. With that in mind, here are some common images used locally. You are not required to use any of them. This is to give you a frame of reference or starting points.
The Flint Hills - Contrary to the common image of flat Kansas, we are in the Flint Hills Region. These are low hills with some of the last native tall grass prairie in North America.
The Sunflower - The sunflower is the state flower of Kansas. You can see how it was used in the attached file. It is a nice illustration of how we are part of the community, but add diversity to the community.
Kansas State's color is royal purple. It might be nice to reference, but we are not a part of the university.
The "Little Apple" - Manhattan has used this term for decades. It's obviously a play on Manhattan, New York's use of "The Big Apple."
Photos from our Facebook page may be used in the design.
Please stay away from common Kansas stereotypes. Specifically, do not use references to "The Wizard of Oz" or tornadoes. Or use very carefully.
However, incorporating a rainbow should be considered. It would help identify us as an lgbt support group.

First things first, the Wilpons aren't selling the Mets. The future of the team is in their hands, and whomever they entrust with the reigns. Right now it is Omar Minaya, and most aspects of the franchise is heading south.
The major league team and two top minor league affiliates are all playing below .500. The drop is worse below, which tells you the talent there is not adequate either for immediate help or in making a big time trade. And, for the latter, there aren't enough chips to patch all the holes.
Tony Bernazard, whose responsibility it is to stock and train that farm system, shares greatly in that.
A substantial part of the team is on the disabled list, and the medical staff is under scrutiny. However, there is no real common thread to the injury other than some players tried to push themselves. There is always the wonder, after the Ryan Church episode last season, of injuries being mishandled. Of those players on the disabled list, only Carlos Beltran has raised the issue, and he's a big enough star to where what he says must be taken seriously.
There are rumblings about the job security of Minaya and manager Jerry Manuel. Despite the supposed vote of confidence, we know those aren't etched in stone. Teams always say things like that before dropping the ax. If a significant number of the injured returns and the Mets make a run but fall short, injuries should give them a pass.
However, it would be a grave mistake throwing everything about this season under the umbrella of injuries because there is no much wrong with this team.
It doesn't hit well, especially with runners in scoring position. Howard Johnson has to take some responsibility there. David Wright's power outage has been a mystery. Why would he change his mechanics because to the stadium? Why would anybody let him? He's always been around .300, which is where he is now. If he mechanics were changed and he was hitting .350, it would be more acceptable. What isn't acceptable are the number of strikeouts.
Then there is Daniel Murphy. He appears rushed. A bust in left, he's comfortable at first defensively, but his offense – the strength of his game – has deteriorated.
Look at also what Johnson has had to work with. Fernando Tatis played over his head last season, and this year is more his norm. Most of the starters started the season as role players and are getting more time than they should.
Pitching? Well, so much was counted on from Oliver Perez, but his failure falls on many levels. No way, is he worth the contract. Choosing Perez over Derek Lowe and Randy Wolf is on Minaya. Letting him play in the WBC is also on Minaya, and the Wilpons, who give their unconditional support to the meaningless exhibition series. Pitching coach Dan Warthen hasn't been able to harness him. Then, there is Perez himself, who believes walks aren't such a big deal.
Personally, I think Perez is as good as he's going to be. I'm tired of hearing about his potential. If the Mets can't trade him, perhaps they should consider putting him in the bullpen, where he can be overpowering for an inning or two.
With everything unraveling with the Mets, now the team is being embarrassed by Bernazard's behavior. Bernazard is currently under house arrest in New Jersey with the perception his relationship with Jeff Wilpon could save his job.
If it does, who will be surprised?
If it does not, there will be no impact on the field as Bernazard can't do anything about the team scoring runs or all the problems listed above.
Bernazard's firing, which would be deserved, will only act as a diversion and him being made a potential scapegoat.
The hard core fans are upset, but many of those who go to Citi Field are numbed by the excitement of the new park. Let's go get some BBQ or clam chowder. How many types of beer do they sell?
However, even in New York, the newness of the park won't last long if the team doesn't perform. It was that way in Baltimore. In Toronto. In Pittsburgh. In Washington.
Build it and they will come. Play well and they will stay.
During this tumultuous time with the franchise, the lone voice has been Minaya's, and that's not good enough. Times are strained enough now where the Wilpons, preferably both, step up with their state-of-the-team address.
The ticket-buying public must be assured of what direction is the team headed. Among other things, it should include statements on whether the team is a buyer or seller at the trade deadline. Are they waiting for the injured to return? They should state firmly all aspects of the organization will be under review after the season and nobody is safe. They should state what direction they will take in the offseason to rebuild. They should state its concern on the medical staff and is there blame for the injuries or bad luck.
No aspect of the team should be spared the scrutiny, because few things are right with it.

Scott Brown, the Massachusetts former beefcake centerfold who came out of nowhere and got elected to the late Ted Kennedy's Senate seat in a landslide, launched his career in that august body by casting a vote based on what he felt was the right thing to do rather than marching lockstep with his party's position of dogged obstructionism and partisan gridlock.
What a concept.
But talk about fair-weather fans. Adoration turned quickly to condemnation — mere hours after his vote that helped thwart a filibuster, those who had just a month earlier hailed his election as akin to the second coming were lobbing verbal A-bombs across the Internet.
Liar, Fraud, Judas, Piece of Garbage, Traitor — those were among the more restrained of the epithets. In the ultimate ignominy of the social media era, it was reported that as a result of his perceived calumny scores of thousands of FaceBook account holders had dropped him as a "friend." Oh, woe. And the Twitterers' frothing tweets were a tour de force of potty-mouthing conciseness (hmm, let's see how many obscenities we can cram in 140 characters).
Now, though, he apparently has regained some of his luster and is a hot item on the speaking circuit.
Such is the state of Capitol Hill politics today. Obstructionism and adversarialism make a mockery of constructive dialogue and cooperative effort in the public's interest. Vilification and character assassination trump rational discourse. Little wonder that in recent weeks there has been a parade of honorables heading for the exits.
As of this writing, a dozen senators have announced plans to retire, the second highest number in 75 years, including Evan Bayh of Indiana, who lamented the "institutional inertia gripping Congress," its "strident partisanship, unyielding ideology, corrosive system of campaign financing, gerrymandering of House districts, endless filibusters," and "a caucus system that promotes party unity at the expense of bipartisan consensus."
In the House, 18 Republicans so far have said they'll hang it up and 15 Democrats, including four of the moderate, fiscally conservative Blue Dogs coalition, among them Rep. Marion Berry of Arkansas, a long-time staunch supporter of agriculture (and a master at skewering inflated congressional egos with his aw-shucks down-home humor).
Not all those bidding farewell have been as forthright in their reasons as Indiana's Bayh, who, while acknowledging "politics has always been a bare-knuckled sport," says "in the Senate now, the forces of gridlock are greater than ever; the extremes in both parties are the most dynamic elements. At the end of the day, people expect us to get things done — but this constant all-or-nothing situation constantly leads to nothing."
The disenchantment with lawmaking apparently works both ways. Never have so few been so disliked. A just-released NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll showed just 17 percent of registered voters approve of the job Congress is doing. That's right: 17 percent.
Not exactly a rousing endorsement.

BROOKLINE, Mass. – With a 25-22, 25-19, 25-16 victory over NECVA New England Division foe Newbury College on Thursday night, the nationally-ranked No. 11 MIT men's volleyball team improved to 14-4 on the year and 8-0 in conference play. The Nighthawks, meanwhile, saw their ledger drop to 10-6 overall and 5-2 the New England Division. Matt Hohenberger paved the way to victory for the Engineers by registering a match-high 13 kills.
It was a barn-burner from the beginning of the first set. With the Engineers up early in the game, Danny Tiner recorded a big kill to keep the game close but MIT's Ken Siebert responded with a huge kill of his own to expand the visitors' lead. Trailing by three late in the game, Alex Amylon cut the deficit to two with a huge kill, to ignite the Nighthawks but it was too late. MIT remained poised, taking set one, 25-22, behind Hohenberger's set-high seven kills.
The Engineers captured the second set, 25-19, courtesy of David Thomas's five kills and went on to complete the sweep the match with the 25-16 victory in the third set. Siebert followed up Hohenberger by tallying 10 kills while Tim Lee recorded a match-high 39 assists. Garrett Winther played solid defense registering three blocks.
Max Daley and Dan Davison led Newbury with seven kills while James Beck recorded four blocks.
Earlier in the day, NECVA announced Hohenberger's selection as the New England Division Player of the Week. In four matches last week, he compiled 47 kills, a .391 hitting percentage, eight digs, four aces, and a block. Hohenberger led off the week with 10 kills in a conference win over Endicott College and then registered 16 kills and .577 hitting percentage versus Eastern Mennonite University. He picked up six kills in a loss to Emmanuel College before tallying 15 kills, a .491 hitting percentage, and four aces against Baruch College.

HIH lottery winner 5/14/10: Deep Fried Sushi - 05-14-2010 , 03:41 PM
1. Tell us a bit about yourself.
I'm Andrew Lee and I'm Asian. More Asian than AmazinAzn. In fact, I'm pretty sure he's not Asian. >___>
2. How did you find High Impact Halo, and when?
I guess I found HIH through the old pigs can fly videos from the Halo 1 days. Though I wasn't even aware of the community of HIH but I guess that's really where I found it. After lurking around during the golden glitching days of Halo 2 I decided I'd join which was over 4 years ago. O.o
3. What is it that you like about Halo tricks, and what kind of tricks are your favorite to do or see?
Just the fact that tricks and glitches allow the players to do something that isn't intended in the game just adds a whole new level of fun. Launching is definitely a favorite of mine.
4. Have you discovered any Halo tricks or glitches yourself?
Umm, I never actually found one on my own. Someone showed it to me or I saw it on HIH first. That's how fast this community.
5. What's your favorite part of Halo 3? What is your least favorite?
Halo 3 is definitely fun because I **** around in MatchMaking with my friends. I'm not a troll, but acting goofy while playing casually definitely makes it fun. Least favorite thing about Halo 3 are the polo wearing bro's that like to hump me after I die. :( They shout obscenities and it annoys me.
6. What other hobbies do you have?
I play bass guitar. I've been playing since I was 12 (I'm 18 now) and I try and fiddle around with electronic music and 8bit stuff. I seriously wish I had a gameboy with an LSDJ cartridge. :I
7. Have you ever eaten a crayon?
I licked one before.
8. What is your favorite kind of deep fried sushi?
Tempura rolls, Spider crab rolls, schlapskie anything deep fried and rolled up in some nori and rice.
9. (From last week's winner) Why did they make country music?-junk3r
Country music was made to make bluegrass look bad. Banjos are badass!
10. If you could ask the next lottery winner one question, what would it be?
When in cereal, what is milk considered to be? A beverage? A sauce? A broth?

Wheelsandmore Alfa Romeo 8C
Wheelsandmore presents its tuning program for the coupe and convertible version of the exciting Alfa Romeo 8C series.
With delicate surgery the noble tuner puts the 2-seated V8 coupe in the right light and provides additional driving pleasure and extra horsepower with their high-end quality components.
Due to an ecu upgrade, combined with a hand-made exhaustsystem with remote-able exhaust valves, Wheelsandmore elicits the beautiful sports coupe additional 30 horsepower and increases the torque around 40nm.
The Alfa Romeo 8C got a further performance improvement through the matte-black, individualized 6Sporz ultralight forged wheels. The weight-optimized multipiece wheels are sizing 9.0x21 inches on the front axle with tires 245/30/21 and on the drive axle stately 12.5x21 inches with 345/25/21 S1Evo tires from Hankook.
A perfect look and a comfortable everyday use ensures a compression and rebound adjustable coilover suspension, which is also available for vehicles with oem Skyhook suspension.
The presented conversion was totally wrapped in matte white foil with a red and black Wheelsandmore design stripe. Wheelsandmore internally called their Alfa Romeo 8 C conversion "Senza-Cromo", because all chrome mounted parts were also swathed in matte black.

Trails on City land
Lands owned by the City and Borough of Juneau (CBJ) are among the most scenic and ecologically diverse in Southeast Alaska. CBJ engaged Discovery Southeast– a Juneau-based natural history education group–to study, map and interpret 10 trail networks between Berners Bay and Douglas. In each case, a watershed framework was applied.
Trailhead signs introduce the highlights of natural and human history in each of the 10 selected watersheds. Trail brochures and a summary guide to the CBJ cover geology, habitats, and wildlife, returning always to questions about the evolving relationships of people with their dynamic homeland.
What, for example, did Gold Creek estuary look like the year before gold was discovered? Where might people have camped when Mendenhall Valley was an ice-choked bay with sea level 500 feet higher than today?
Rocks, plants, critters, people
Natural history description builds from the ground up: beginning with bedrock geology, then the surficial deposits of glaciers, seas, streams, etc. Next come the plant communities distinctive to each of these geologic landforms, and the fish and wildlife that respond to those vegetation types. Finally, comes human industry, habitation, recreation, and conservation. Like a well-built house, each of these descriptive layers gives foundation to the next.
We've taken this approach for each of 10 selected watersheds. Next time you visit them, check out our signs and brochures.
Here we zoom out from watershed scale to consider the entire roaded portion of our Borough. What are some of the big-picture patterns that emerge?
Faults & fish
Juneau's finest coho salmon streams (Cowee, Windfall, Montana, and Peterson-OuterPoint) all nestle within gently graded, fault-controlled valleys aligned NW-SE. Streams such as Gold Creek, running more directly downslope to the sea, are often too steep for fish. By "capturing" streams and turning them parallel to the coastline for long distances, bedrock faults substantially boost Juneau's fish production.
Vegetation trends
The center-panel map shows that watersheds on Douglas Island, and the fairly mellow topography of the northern Gravina belt, are covered mostly with conifer forest: brushy slide vegetation and subalpine communities are restricted to ridge crests.
That pattern reverses in the southeastern, teacup-shaped watersheds, where steep valley walls compose one continuous avalanche zone. In the Gold watershed, slide vegetation covers 70% of the landscape, and conifer forest only 12%. In contrast, 80% of Fish Creek watershed is conifer forest.
Deer forest
In summer, Sitka black-tailed deer range from summit to beach, but in deep-snow winters, only a fraction of that landscape can support them. The ideal winter deer forest has moderately large old-growth conifers, at low elevation, close to salt water. A fairly steep, south-facing slope is optimum. Here, the low-angle winter sun can melt snow away from evergreen forage plants.
The southwestern shoreline of Douglas Island offers the best combination of these features. On the mainland, deeper snow, wolves, and human development reduce the quality of winter deer habitat.
Fish towns, gold towns
Scarcely more than a century ago, Auke Bay was the cultural hub of what we now call the CBJ. The Auk Kwáan village of Aanchgaltsoow (place-names map, right-side panel) boasted a south-facing crescent beach with rich-soil benches for gardens, sunny microclimate, herring swarms in spring and a sockeye run in the lake.
With the discovery of gold in Gastineau Channel, the hub shifted to rainy, gale-blasted Juneau and Treadwell/Douglas. While many flash-in-the-pan Alaskan gold towns soon reverted to wilderness, in Gastineau the boom lasted 60 years, committing these towns to their scenic-but-blustery locations.
Tlingit place names
The Auk and Taku Kwáans ("tribes") converged in Gastineau Channel. Within a year of the founding of Juneau, they moved from original settlements at Auke Bay and Bishop Point (asterisks) to new villages adjacent to the gold town.
This map shows cultural sites of 3 clans: the Wooshkeetaan, L'eeneidí, and Yanyeidí. "Old" sites are distinguished from those still active in 1946. To give a sense of conditions just prior to first European contact in 1794, expanded glaciers (blue tint) are shown in the Eagle, Herbert and Mendenhall Valleys. Note bergs in lower right; even as late as the mid 1800s, ships were trapped in Gastineau Channel by ice from Taku Glacier.
Especially in the Little Ice Age, áak'w Ta–Auke Bay–was a more welcoming homesite than icy, rainy Gastineau.
Ten unique watersheds
1) Cowee - Davies: Largest, wildest, most productive CBJ watershed. Granitic headwall with peaks almost 6000 feet high. Brown bear refuge; finest coho stream. Vast uplift parkland; great trail diversity.
2) Amalga: Lovely "risen valley" with uplift features, quiet pocket beaches. Wildlife hotspot; portal to abandoned Eagle River Mine. Dairy history. Base for the Southeast Alaska Guidance Association.
3) Peterson - 25 mile*: Jensen-Olson Arboretum; identified plants; historic gardens. Trails to Peterson Lake and to nearby beach overlook.
4) Montana - McGinnis: Healthiest fish & wildlife habitat of the greater Mendenhall watershed. Lower stream very dynamic–influenced by advance of Mendenhall Glacier.
5) Auke Lake: Along with Auke Bay, the region's pre-gold cultural hub. The Auk Kwáan take their name from the lake. Today, a research and educational center (University, National Marine Fisheries Service weir.)6) Switzer Dzantik'i Héeni Middle School has fine array of educational trails within quick reach on foot. Good for study of postlogging succession; several varieties of old growth and wetland.
6) Switzer: Dzantik'i Héeni Middle School has fine array of educational trails within quick reach on foot. Good for study of postlogging succession; several varieties of old growth and wetland.
7) Gold: Mount Roberts trail and tram offer Juneau's easiest access to subalpine and alpine habitats. Home of the state capital; intensive mining history. Downtown constructed on raised marine delta and mine waste.
8) Paris: Source waters to the Treadwell Glory Hole. Mature deciduous forest is locally uncommon habitat, colonizing abandoned mining town. Well mapped ruins. Sandy Beach is mine tailings.
9) Fish: The island's dominant, central watershed. CBJ's only driving access to high country; Eaglecrest ski area. Largest estuary on Douglas Island; gravel ponds host king salmon fishery. Hotspot for water birds.
10) Peterson - OP*: Outer Point trail complex; uplift landforms; high habitat diversity in short distance. Best winter deer habitat of our 10 selected watersheds. CBJ's finest large-tree alluvial fan forest.
* CBJ has two Peterson Creeks. They're distinguished here as Peterson-25mile, and Peterson-OP.

October 28, 2006
A stifling wind and 10-point deficit wasn't enough to keep the Wabash College Little Giants from holding serve atop the logjam in the NCAC conference battle Saturday. The Little Giants scored 20 unanswered points to knock off co-leader Wooster, 20-10.
Saturday afternoon's beautiful, sunny skies were accompanied by strong winds that occasionally reached gusts of 30-40 mph. Wooster capitalized at the game's outset and seized control with two scores.
But the Wabash defense stepped up and played arguably its best game of the year, holding Wooster to just 160 total yards of offense on 64 rushing and 96 passing and just 10 first downs. (See full offense photo album here. See pictures of Wabash's defensive play here.)
"We held Wooster College to 10 points," Wabash coach Chris Creighton said. "Our defense that was young is not young any more; they're playing good football in big games. I'm real proud of our defense."
And it was defense that turned the tide. Creighton elected to go into the wind in the first quarter and the decision immediately back-fired. On the third play from scrimmage, Dustin Huff's pass was intercepted by Jeff Geffert setting up the Scots at the Wabash 25-yard line. It took just four plays and a Dustin Sheppard 6-yard run to put Wooster on top with just under three minutes off the clock.
Wabash could do nothing on its next possession forcing a punt that traveled only 13 yards and giving the ball to Wooster on the 34. The Scots moved the ball to first-and-goal but the Little Giant defense came up with a staunch goal-line stand. The key play was Andy Deig's stop on Sheppard on second down and goal from the one-yard line. On third down a pass fell incomplete and Wooster had to settle for a Dan Grangaard 18-yard field goal, 10-0.
"That series they got the ball and moved it to the five was really big," Deig said. "Once we made that big stop we knew we were going to win. I knew we'd come back and fight."
The first half struggle was far from over, but Wabash managed to move the ball down field and get on the board before halftime. Dustin Huff went to the air and moved the Little Giants 62 yards in 12 plays then took the ball in himself on a one-yard keeper to get Wabash on the board, 10-6, but the kick was wide and the half ended.
The wind was on everyone's mind at halftime.
"At half we were going to go with the wind in the third quarter and we got out here and Coach changed his mind at the last minute," Deig said afterwards. "It turned out to be a very good decision and we got the score when they had the wind. The wind was a big factor today for the team on offense."
Despite the wind advantage the Scots could only gain 13 yards in 6 plays and had to punt. The next two series were the clincher for the Little Giants. Wabash marched the ball down field 59 yards on eight plays to the Wooster 18. But Geffert again picked off a Wabash pass and raced 79 yards to put Wooster on the Wabash 29.
The Little Giant defense was up to the challenge and was aided by an intentional grounding call against the Scots. Wooster had to settle for a 33-yard field goal attempt that was short and wide.
Not being frustrated by the previous series' outcome, Huff went back to work. The Wabash quarterback hit Billy King for nine yards, Mike Russell for 35 more, and then Andrew Rode for 33 yards. Shane Keffer picked up the touchdown from one yard out and the Little Giants were on top, 13-10.
Wabash managed to hold Wooster with the wind advantage and score the go-ahead touchdown.
"The halftime decision was in my mind a really big decision and I really kind of went back and forth on it," Creighton explained. "When you're down, you want to try to get momentum but at same time in a tight game it's always good to have the wind in the fourth quarter. My gut told me I made the wrong decision at the beginning of the game. It takes a lot to give up the ball at the beginning of both halves."
After Wabash took the lead, the defense tightened even more. Wooster picked up a rare second half first down but had to punt three plays and a penalty later. The Wabash offense took the field with confidence to open the fourth quarter.
Huff directed a 12-play, 80-yard drive that was capped by an 18-yard strike to Rode for a touchdown. The sophomore wide receiver had his second big week in a row since stepping in for senior Geoff Walker, who is out for the season. Rode led the Little Giants with six catches for 87 yards.
Despite two interceptions, Huff had an efficient day, hitting on 22-of 32 passes for 281 yards. He also rushed for 61 and a touchdown.
Deig paced the defense with 10 tackles, several came on key plays. Adi Pynenberg added nine stops. Frank Knez had a huge day with three of the Little Giants' five quarterback sacks.
"In the off season we thought this was going to be a conference championship game, but after the loss to Witt, we weren't sure if that was going to be true," Deig said. "But it turned out there was a lot of truth to that. We had a rough start, but after that we really brought it and the offense got it done."
Wittenberg won at Oberlin, 22-6, to remain tied atop the NCAC standings. Denison knocked off Kenyon to remove the Lords from title contention. Wittenberg holds the tie-breaker for the playoff birth with its win over Wabash October 14. But next week could be pivotal in the conference standings — Wittenberg plays Allegheny at home while Wabash travels to Denison.
