Fall turkey hunting tips
Fall turkey hunting tips and call cadence and technique depends on whether or you targeting toms or hens with their young. Toms hang with toms in the fall, and hens stick with their young. You may find both groups together occasionally, but as a general rule they do not spend much time together. We are going to focus on fall turkey hunting tips gobbler style.
Fall turkey hunting tips in gobbler flocks
If you want to call gobblers in the fall, you have to sound like one. Fall gobbler flocks can be very territoral, and if you are a strange tom invading their turf, you may be line line for a butt kicking. Food plots for deer are good places to start. Soybean food plots and fall food plots are magnets for game when weather approaches. The cadence or tempo of a gobbler yelp series is slower than a hens. The sequence is also deeper in tone, raspier, and contains fewer yelps. Clucks are still sharp, and also deeper toned. The video below illustrates the difference, which is important as many of us have never heard a gobbler yelp or cluck in the fall. Fall turkey hunting tips focusing on this cadence are important.
'Blind' Fall turkey hunting tips
Like a whitetail doe, turkey flocks are very predictable in the fall. They do not do the exact same thing every day, but you can knock down feeding and roost areas pretty easily if you put some time in scouting. If you want to be effective at Fall turkey hunting tips, you will spend time scouting first. Find out where the birds like to be at certain times of the day, and be set up and ready before they arrive. If you learn the birds daily patterns you are well over half way to punching your tag. Blind calling to toms is a low percentage endeavor, and often a waste of time. If you are not in their home range, they really do not care what you are saying.
Typical Fall turkey hunting tips set
Once you know the birds daily movements, you typically set up one of 2 places, and that is their daily feeding areas, or even better close to the roost in the evening. If you can nail down how they approach the roost, and set a realistic jake decoy in their path, you will be in for some excitement. Fall groups of toms will readily attack a cocky jake close to their roost sites. Watch below as the roost scenario unfolds as it did over and over for our fall turkey hunters.
Our best turkey decoy works as well in the fall as it does in the spring if you do your homework. Unravel their daily patterns, learn some gobbler talk, and realize success with these fall turkey hunting tips.

Samardzija on contract talks: No comment
MESA, Ariz. -- Jeff Samardzija does not want to discuss a possible long-term contract with the Cubs or his name being mentioned in trade rumors.
"We're not really going to talk about that," Samardzija said Friday. "We're worried about the season and getting ready to compete and win some ballgames. We don't want any distractions, whether it's with [contract talk] or with trade talks or this or that. For me, it's a no comment.
"Like I've said before, [I want to] put no doubt in anyone's minds about who I am and what I can be for this organization."
This is Samardzija's third season as a full-time starter, and his name has been mentioned in trade rumors because of the Cubs' trend the last two seasons under president of baseball operations Theo Epstein to deal players for prospects. Samardzija avoided arbitration this year by agreeing to a one-year, $5.345 million contract. He will be a free agent after the 2015 season.
"The last resort is to go to a hearing," Samardzija said of the talks. "I felt like from the beginning, both sides were in agreement that we were pretty close."
The right-hander is coming off a season in which he totaled 200 innings and 200 strikeouts for the first time. He finished 8-13 with a 4.34 ERA in a career-high 33 starts. His goal this year? To improve his pitch efficiency and reduce the total walks.
One of the ways to do that is eliminate any outside distractions. Whether he is traded or not, Samardzija, 29, is doing his best to stay focused on baseball.
"All I can do is increase my value as much as possible, and I think in the end it's going to help the organization no matter what," he said. "It either helps the organization by keeping me here and proving that I'm that guy, or I increase my value and help them get prospects in return."
Does he think he will be with the Cubs at the end of the 2014 season?
"It comes down to the team," he said. "It comes down to where we're at as a team. If me, [Travis Wood], [Edwin] Jackson, [Jason] Hammel, [Carlos] Villanueva, [Jake] Arrieta, so on and so forth do their job and show that we're pretty close to where we need to be, especially as a pitching staff, which is what we can control as pitchers, a lot of times that changes the plan. [They'll say] this is an important core group of guys, and we can't break this up."

If the Gold Coast had a middle child it would possibly be Palm Beach, nestled between Tallebudgera Creek on one side and Currumbin Creek on the other. But don't for one minute think this destination is dull. Similar to its Florida namesake - which was named America's best place to live in 2013 - Australia's Palm Beach has thrice been crowned Queensland's cleanest beach.
In another US link, borrowing from New York in this instance, Palm Beach's avenues are also numbered, in this case from first to 28th, making navigating this corner of the coast a cinch. But that's possibly where the similarities with the Big Apple exist. For their Palm Beach is one of laid-back living and is one of the best examples of where rambling beach shacks still survive, perched petulantly on million-dollar blocks.
Surfers and sunbakers flock to Palm Beach for its wide, sandy and spectacular beach. There's also a variety of eating options here and you can't go past the Palm Beach Surf Club for a feast. Accommodation options consist of everything up to the top end of town, but they reckon you can't go past a beach shack for a bit of coastal character.

Canine Weight Loss
How to tell if your dog is overweight
Obesity is among the most serious health problems for todays canine. Overweight dogs are unhappy dogs and this article will share with you, how to tell if your dog is overweight, ideas on how to reduce your dogs weight, and how to maintain the weight loss.
Genetic make up, the dog is not as energetic as it once was, other health problems, are all causes of obesity in dogs. Identifying if your dog has a health problem that causes them to gain weight is the first step in figuring out how to take the weight off. Working closely with your vet you can determine a proper diet and exercise program to take off those unwanted pounds.
How can you tell if your dog is overweight?
In order to get an accurate assessment on your dogs weight you should check three areas. The ribs, neck and hips. Some dogs carry their fat in different places. Older dogs for example carry a lot of their fat in their neck area. Some in their hips and others along their sides. By checking all three areas you cover your bases and get a better picture about your dogs weight.
Checking the ribs: Standing over top your dog with them securely between your legs, place both thumbs on the spine. Now slowly run your fingers along their rib cage on both sides. You should be able to feel the bones of the ribs without any pressure. If you have to increase your pressure to feel the rib bones your dog is overweight.
Checking the neck: Push your index finger and your thumb deep into the side of your dogs neck. Now try to touch your finger and thumb together at the tips. If your finger and thumb are more than a quarter inch apart your dog is overweight.
Checking the hips: Run your hand over your dogs back end. You should be able to feel the two pelvic bones without pressing in. If you have to use pressure to feel the bones your dog is overweight.
How much weight should they lose?
My answer to this question is, how fit do you want your dog? Almost all the dogs I've seen are slightly overweight, even when conditioned. If you need your dog to perform in a sport or other activity they may need to lose as much as 10 pounds. If you want them in fit, well defined shape, losing 5-8 lbs may be all that is needed.
Personally, I recommend consulting a canine sports doctor and getting their opinion. They specialize in active dogs and can give you detailed advice on how to condition your dog and get them to a reliable and safe weight.
Exercise ideas
1. Bike riding
2. Running
3. Hiking
4. Long walks
5. Play sessions
6. Swimming
These are just a few ideas to get you started.
Diet and Obesity
In a perfect world simply decreasing the amount of food your dog eats and increasing the amount of exercise your dog gets each day would result in a perfectly healthy dog. Unfortunately we don't live in a perfect world and outside factors can interfere. You may work and not have time to properly exercise your dog. Your dog may have a health problem. Genetics may play a role in your dogs obesity. Many factors can contribute to the overall problem. However, changing the diet and providing a balanced meal for your dog is essential to losing weight.
I feed my dogs by "eye balling" the amounts. I don't feed what the bag recommends and I would suggest you didn't either. Bag recommendations are much greater than what a properly exercised dog needs. If you dog isn't that active what they bag suggests is far to much food.
Feed as much as is needed to maintain your dogs weight. This takes time to figure out so be patient and experiment with different amounts.
Yet another reason dogs are overweight is because people feed the same amount of dog food as they did when their dog was a pup. Adult dogs should not eat as much as they did when they were puppies therefore cutting the amount is recommended.
You can cut the amount of food down by supplementation. For example, say you feed your dog 2 cups of dog food per day. Cutting that in half, only feeding one cup, and then using a healthy substitute in place of the other cup is an effective way to reduce your dogs food without it getting hungry. You can supplement pumpkin mix in place of one cup of food. Get the kind that is plain and not ready for baking as this contains spices. If your dog doesn't like pumpkin try yogurt or vegetables.
In summary
Obesity is a serious problem and needs to be addressed immediately. If you find your dog is overweight, get them checked out by the vet and get on a diet program to reduce and maintain a healthy weight. Your dog will live a longer happier life as a result.

Father & Son Austin Breakfast Taco tradition
By David Jaffe
October 2010
Every Saturday morning starting when he was about 8, my son Gary and I ate breakfast tacos at a local place on Bee Cave Road, the C-5 Steakhouse. This was a chance for us to spend time together and talk about whatever was on his mind.
C-5 had one type of breakfast taco, with eggs, sausage, cheddar cheese and hash browns on a flour tortilla. We would always order the same way – 2 tacos plus coffee, orange juice and ice water for me; 1 taco plus orange juice for Gary (we would then split my second taco). The staff got to know us and would put up our order as soon as they saw us walk in. One time they were shorthanded for waiters but had open tables so we sat down and received our food before others even got their menus.
One Saturday morning when Gary was 15 we arrived at C-5 only to find a sign in the window notifying us that the restaurant had closed. It was like losing a family member. I put my arm around my son. Another customer came up and was equally shocked so we commiserated.
Gary had just received his learner's permit and he needed driving experience so we decided to visit every joint in Austin that sells breakfasts tacos. Over the next several years we visited them all, from the well-known (Cisco's, Juan in a Million, Taco Cabana) to the diviest of dives. We would drive down streets like South 1st, checking every strip mall for a Mexican restaurant with an "Open" sign. Or Gary would come back from a forensics tournament across town with news that he had discovered one we hadn't checked out yet.
We can tell you who has the best chorizo, which places have a salsa verde that you have to ask for, where they have nopales. We have the "$10 rule", which is that we spend a minimum of $10 for the two of us. So at places like Taquería Arandas, where tacos are like $2.29 for 3 tacos before 11 AM, the wait staff will get a big tip. We can get around in non-English speaking places (even before Gary took Spanish in college) but we did have some adventures, like at La Michoacana, which is a grocery store near Reagan H.S. that has a food counter, figuring out that we had to pay for the tacos in thecheckout line and then go back and pick them up.
Even after Gary went off to college we would still continue the tradition when he came home on break. We didn't even need to discuss it, it was just, "What time should I wake you up tomorrow morning" on a Friday night.
Now that Gary is back in Austin after graduation we are back to the weekly routine. Last Saturday we hit an old favorite near his house, El Habañero Café. We like the folks there, the chorizo is tasty, the horchata some of the best in town and Gary likes their migas tacos.

Worst experience ever. Ordered on 16/08/2017 and estimated ship date was 21/08/2017, it's 06/09/2017 now and there is still no info when item will be shipped. Tried to contact pixels.com twice via contact form, no answer. Charger supposed to be gift for my father's birthday on 09/09/2017 but you managed to ruin it. Since I tried to contact You via contact form, and got no result. I hope that you'll read this comment and return me my money, since you failed to deliver product which is now useless to me because you weren't able to provide any info for couple of weeks

/ TR-20 DOS version
Having been superceded by WinTR-20, this DOS version is still being made available, but no longer supported. Technical Release No. 20: Computer Program for Project Formulation Hydrology (TR-20) is a physically based watershed scale runoff event model. It computes direct runoff and develops hydrographs resulting from any synthetic or natural rainstorm. Developed hydrographs are routed through stream and valley reaches as well as through reservoirs. Hydrographs are combined from tributaries with those on the main stream stem. Branching flow (diversions), and baseflow can also be accommodated.
The Hydrology Branch of the SCS (forerunner of NRCS) in cooperation with the Hydrology Laboratory (ARS) developed the original FORTRAN computer program through a contract with C-E-I-R, Inc. in 1964. The original version ran on an IBM 1620 mainframe computer. The SCS Engineering Division made numerous modifications over the years, and a PC version of the program came out with a draft User Manual in 1986. Further revisions to both the program and user manual resulted in version 2.04 and 1992 draft user manual.

The world's attention turns back to Gabby "The Flying Squirrel" Douglas Monday, when the newly crowned all-around champion competes for another individual gold medal, this time in the uneven bars.
Her biggest rivals are Russians Victoria Komova and Aliya Mustafina. Though Douglas defeated them in the all-around, she finished behind them in the uneven bars. The event begins at 9:50 a.m. ET and will be streamed live on NBCOlympics.com, and be shown as part of NBC's primetime coverage at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
In men's gymnastics, Arthur Nabarrete Zanetti of Brazil won Olympic gold medal in men's still rings. Chen Yibing of China, a 2008 gold medalist, took silver. The men's vault final will feature Samuel Mikulak of the United States, who finished fourth in the qualifier. The favorite is Denis Ablyazin of Russia.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The U.S. women's soccer team continues its quest for a third straight Olympic championship on Monday. Undefeated in the preliminary round, the Americans beat New Zealand 2-0 in the first game of the knockout round, and on Monday will face Canada in the semifinals. American goalkeeper Hope Solo will tell you that contrary to criticisms from TV commentator Brandi Chastain, the U.S. team has been dominant, and should be the favorite.
But the Canadians have been playing very well, too. Led by Melissa Tancredi and Christine Sinclair, who've combined to score seven goals thus far, Canada has posted a record of 4-0, while outscoring their opponents eight goals to four.
The game will be live streamed on NBCOlympics.com and airs on the NBC Sports Network beginning at 2:45 p.m. ET.
Having squeaked past a clearly inferior Lithuanian team, the U.S. men's basketball team faces Argentina in the final game of the preliminary round Monday. Argentina enters the game with a 4-1 record, behind Manu Ginobli of the San Antonio Spurs. Both teams are all but certain of a place in the knockout round, but the Americans would be wise to take this one seriously--after the scare they got from Lithuania, it's time to quit goofing around.
That game will live streamed on NBCOlympics.com and airing on the NBC Sports Network beginning at 5:15 p.m. ET.
Meanwhile, over at Olympic Stadium, Lolo Jones, who famously flubbed a sure shot at gold in the 100m hurdles in 2008, begins her quest to redeem herself. Jones came in first in her 100m qualifying heat Monday morning with a time of 12:68. But the big news in that heat was Jamaica's Brigitte Foster-Hylton failing to qualify after a devasting stumble over a hurdle that got her off rhythm, finishing the heat in tears. The woman who won gold in the 2008 race, Dawn Harper,also qualified Monday morning and is a favorite to defend her title. Australia's Sally Pearson came in first overall in the 100m heats.
Men will be chasing gold in the 400m hurdles, in which three of top six qualifiers are American. This is probably America's best chance to sweep an event. The final is scheduled for 3:45 p.m. ET.
Medals will also be awarded in the women's pole vault, shot put and 3000m steeplechase.
Elsewhere at the Olympics on Monday:
• In the Aquatic Centre, four-time Olympian Troy Dumais and his American teammate Chris Colwell will compete in the men's 3m springboard diving. First rounds begin at 2 p.m. ET
• Another athlete known as a "flying squirrel," American wrestler Ellis Coleman, will compete in the 132-pound Greco Roman division. In the 184 point weight class, American Chas Betts will compete.

Expert Reviews
2008 Chrysler Aspen
The 2008 Chrysler Aspen is a big, traditional sport utility vehicle capable of towing substantial loads. The Aspen is in the same class as the Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon, and Ford Expedition, but it has more luxury amenities than most of those vehicles.
Introduced for the 2007 model year, the Chrysler Aspen is based on the Dodge Durango. Aspen shares Durango's size and mechanicals, the main differences being styling, interior and tuning. Both use truck chassis and engineering, giving them the advantages of a cavernous interior and the ability to tow trailers (up to 8,900 pounds).
Aspen's electronic stability control system incorporates a new feature designed to control trailer sway.
Two V8 engines are available, a 4.7-liter flex-fuel V8 that gains 68 hp for 2008 for a total of 303 horsepower, and a 335-hp 5.7-liter V8. The 4.7-liter can run on regular gasoline or E85 (a blend of 15 percent gasoline and 85 percent ethanol). The 5.7-liter Hemi uses Chrysler's Multi-Displacement System, which conserves fuel by shutting off half the cylinders when the engine is running under a light load. Buyers can choose between rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive with either engine.
Both powertrains earn decent fuel economy ratings by the federal government, either matching the competition or at worst giving up no more than one or two miles per gallon, even in the revised system the EPA uses for the 2008 model year.
Aspen is a nice-looking SUV with styling that features Chrysler's traditional but subdued egg-crate grille, mildly curvaceous bodylines reminiscent of the Dodge Durango, and an attractively sculpted tailgate. The wheel wells are filled with good-looking 18-inch alloy wheels or optional 20-inch chrome rims.
Aspen accommodates seven or eight passengers, depending on the seating configuration. Three rows of seats are standard, starting with front buckets, a second-row bench and a third-row bench. Buckets are optional for the second row to reduce seating to seven.
The interior blends elegant-looking, satin-finish metallic accents with woodgrain trim on the dash and center console. The standard upholstery is Chrysler's trademarked Yes Essentials fabric that resists stains and odors. Leather trim is optional and all of the usual power and personalization features are available.
In addition to the upgraded 4.7-liter V8, Aspen gets new safety and entertainment features for 2008. Chrysler's MyGIG radio, which includes a 20-gigabyte hard drive that holds songs, pictures, and navigation system map information, is available, as is a rear backup camera.
Model Lineup
Chrysler Aspen Limited 2WD ($32,005); Limited 4WD ($34,880)
Walk AroundThe Chrysler Aspen looks like a lot of other full-size SUVs, but we found it attracted admiring looks and inquiries. Chrysler styling cues set the Aspen apart from the Dodge Durango.
The grille, with bold crossbars and classic Chrysler medallion, attempts to stake a claim for the Aspen at the top of the brand's pyramid. Strangely, low-key headlamp units diminish the claim, which isn't helped by the bland bumper and generic fog lamps.
Embossed strakes in the hood run back to the windshield and carry on the newest Chrysler-brand styling motif. This styling element, which first appeared on the Chrysler Crossfire and then the redesigned Sebring, is seemingly inspired by the jewel-like cap on the famous Chrysler Building in New York City.
The side view offers the proportions and features typical for a traditional SUV. The swept-back windshield looks sleek and shows homage to aerodynamics. The optional running boards do a better job of dirtying trousers and long skirts than serving as truly functional steps. Mildly creased, visually pleasant blisters circle the wheelwell openings. A chrome-topped, overstated molding strip pulls double duty, breaking up the expanse of metal between the front and rear wheel cutouts while insulating the doors against parking lot dings. Side mirrors proudly perch on brackets extending from the base of the A-pillars (the side frames of the windshield). A slight ridge defining the beltline (where the side windows meet the lower body panels) extends beyond the base of the rear pillars, accenting the graceful outline of the rear quarter windows. A short front overhang and tucked-up lower hindquarters invite thoughts of venturing off the highway to explore an unpaved track.
It's the rear aspect of the Aspen that has the most presence, the view most will have of it in traffic. A strong rear bumper with a deep, non-skid clad step cups the one-piece liftgate. Chrome-like trim on the bumper's end caps tie into the side molding strip. The medallion-and-wing treatment from the grille repeats above the stylized license plate recess. Gently bowed sides and a rounded top give the back end a smaller, less massive look than the rest of the vehicle. A conservatively sized notch centered in the bumper's lower edge makes room for the optional hitch receiver and junction box.
InteriorOn first impression, the interior looks classy in its materials selection, presentation and packaging. On closer examination, however, and after some quality time spent experiencing its quirks and nuances, some of that initial luster fades.
The satin-finish metal accents and wood-like trim give the interior an elegant touch, as does the silver-ringed, old-fashioned style clock tucked into a recess in the top-center of the dash. The woodgrain looks better than it feels, however, as do the expanses of textured plastic panels, which are hard to the touch and replete with seams that pose threats of squeaks and buzzes as the miles rack up. Where there's padding, it's noticeably thin. The symmetry of shapes and simplicity of features and controls for the stereo, air conditioning and navigation systems are pluses that partially counter some of the questionable elements.
The front seats are supportive, with adequate bottom and side bolsters for the Aspen's intended use. The fabric upholstery is more comfortable than the somewhat stiff leather. The pivot point for the front seatbacks' recline is positioned above the seat bottom, much like the seats on those regional commuter jets; reclining in the seat requires sliding one's posterior forward on the bottom cushion, effectively shortening the seat bottom and reducing thigh support.
The laid-back windshield pushes the dash, and with it the steering wheel, close enough to the driver that the adjustable pedals are strongly recommended. The adjustable pedals will permit short-stature drivers to sit far enough from the steering wheel to maintain the recommended safe distance from the steering wheel airbag. And the dead pedal against which drivers might want to brace their left foot while navigating sharp turns is somewhere up near the front bumper and useless for anybody not as tall as, say, Lebron James.
The low roofline limits visibility from the inside. The tinted rear glass enhances the image on the rear-seat entertainment system's drop-down video screen, but limits the driver's view somewhat. When deployed, the rear-seat video screen reduces visibility through the rearview mirror.
Second-row legroom trails the competition (Ford Expedition, Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon, Nissan Armada, Toyota Sequoia) by one to four inches. Knee room for back-seat riders is cramped when the front seat is comfortably positioned for a 6-foot driver. Getting in and out of the second row is easy. The back doors swing open a welcoming 84 degrees and leave space enough in their lower reaches for all but NBA-size shoes.
The third-row seats compare well with the competition. The flop-and-flip second-row seats make access to the third row easy. In headroom, the Aspen's back row tops all but the Sequoia. Its legroom handily bests all but the Expedition. Hip room and foot room in the third row is relatively tight, however, especially in the center position, the automotive equivalent to the center seat in the back of a plane.
Cargo space is plentiful. With the third row folded, the Aspen's 68.4 cu. ft. of cargo tops the competition. Fold and flip everything behind the front seat and the Aspen's 102.4 cu. ft. is average when compared with the other full-size SUVs.
Cubby storage is about par for the class. Each row of seats gets at least two cupholders. The front doors have fixed, hard plastic map pockets. The backside of the driver's seat has a pouch for magazines. The glove box is adequate, but the undamped door can crack the shins of an unwary front passenger. The front center console lid is hinged on the right-hand side, making access difficult for the front seat passenger.
Aspen has imported some features from the German side of the DaimlerChrysler family. One is tip start, which requires only a twist and release of the key to start the engine. Another is a one-touch lane-change function on the turn signals, where touching and releasing the lever pro
Driving ImpressionsThe Chrysler Aspen rewards the driver with hearty mechanical sounds from the engine compartment, prompt throttle response, solid gear shifts and thoroughly competent brakes.
Ride and handling are average. The Aspen is tall, heavy and narrow. The ride tends to the springy end of the scale, and the Aspen loses composure around curves. The available 20-inch wheels with fatter tires stick better than the base model's taller tires and 18-inch wheels at the price of a slightly harsher, but no less bouncy, ride.
Chrysler has upgraded the 4.7-liter V8 for 2008, boosting it from 235 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque to 303 hp and 330 pound-feet of torque. The 4.7-liter does a better job of moving the Aspen than the old version, but it still struggles to provide passing punch in this heavy SUV. With the 4.7-liter V8, the Aspen can pull up to 5900 pounds.
The 5.7-liter Hemi moves the Aspen well from a stop and provides decent passing power, but it runs out of breath on the far side of 80 miles per hour. However, the torque rating promises it can pull 8900 pounds.
Neither engine is frugal. Thanks to Chrysler's Multi-Displacement System, which shuts down four cylinders when they're not needed, the Hemi gets slightly better fuel economy than the 4.7, at 13 mpg City and 19 Highway for 2WD models vs 13/18. Those numbers may be unappealing given today's high fuel prices, but they match those of truck-based large SUV competitors.
Towing trailers long distances should be eased by a feature Chrysler calls Trailer Sway Control. This system senses trailer sway and employs the electronic stability control to apply tiny amounts of brake pressure selectively to individual wheels and to reduce engine torque to counter trailer-induced yaw. We haven't hooked a trailer to an Aspen, but the concept is logical and impressive and we'd assume it works as intended.
If you don't intend to tow with your Aspen, you may wish to consider one of the new generation of seven-passenger crossover SUVs. These vehicles offer better ride and handling characteristics, as well as improved fuel economy, with the same type of cargo capacity.
The 2008 Chrysler Aspen is a competent full-size SUV that offers the hauling and towing capability of a truck. In snapshot comparisons with the competition, the Expedition feels roomier, the Tahoe/Yukon rides and handles better, the Armada feels, and is, heavier, and the Sequoia feels better put together. Aspen also faces competition from more carlike crossover SUVs with comparable cargo utility. If you need a large SUV for towing, the Aspen is a fine choice. If not, a crossover SUV will provide a more carlike driving experience and deliver better fuel economy.

Thin, stylish, and a change from the company's previous designs, the silvery Gateway ID49C series has a slim form factor paired with an optical drive and Core i3/i5 processors. When last we reviewed Gateway's new thin laptop, it was in the form of the budget-price $629 ID49C07U in our 2010 retail laptop and desktop back-to-school roundup.The ID49C08U costs significantly more–$849–but has an Intel Core i5 processor and a Nvidia GeForce GT330M GPU with Optimus automatic-switching graphics. Though the specs are tempting and the price is good, many similar systems with higher-end touches don't cost much more, including the HP Envy 14, which offers a similarly performing configuration for about $1,000. If, on the other hand, saving $150 is your greatest concern, this could be a thin gaming-capable laptop worth consideration.
Flat, silver, and surprisingly thin, the Gateway ID49C08U caught our eye right away among other midsize computers sitting on our Lab bench. The overall dimensions and wafer-thin lid closely match up with thin-and-light laptops such as the Asus UL80J-BBK5, as does its sub-5-pound weight.
An aluminum alloy cover and interior have a soft silver look that repels smudges but seems a little scuff-prone. Matte-black plastic surrounds the upper inset glossy screen, and a flat keyboard lies flush with the aluminum lower half, also colored the same dull silver. A curved, inset touch pad rounds out a look that's both semiprofessional and, at times, reminiscent of the MacBook Pro, but cast in budget materials.
The flat-key design on the ID49C08U's keyboard is identical to what we saw on the design-revamped Gateway NV59C09U, except in silver instead of black. The widely spaced keys are somewhat comfortable, but the keyboard flexes too much and the keys tilt a bit while typing. Additionally, the wide gaps and valleys underneath the keys seem to invite the annoying trapping of particles, dust, or hair, a problem that's avoided with raised keys that fit tightly into the keyboard tray.
A few dedicated buttons sit above the keyboard: on the left there's a Wi-Fi on/off toggle and a programmable quick-launch key; on the top right, a square power button stands alone. Between the two, a thin capacitive-touch media bar has play/pause, stop, forward/rewind, and eject functions. The DVD drive, tucked on the right side of the ID4907U's chassis, has no physical button to eject, just this touch panel, and there was often a delay before registering our eject command. The fast-forward/rewind buttons only served to skip tracks on DVD playback, and couldn't fast do shuttle-style forward or rewind.
Gateway has also included a few new wrinkles to the keyboard design. Running down the right side, a Social Media button adorned with odd smiling faces brings up a software widget with FaceBook, YouTube, and Flickr feeds, but it's nothing we don't already get in browser plug-ins and via software such as Digsby. New dedicated volume buttons are a great add.
As for the wide, inset, glossy touch pad, it's a design misfire. The entire dark surface lights up in a glowing blue whenever contact is made with the click zones on the bottom of the pad. The whole multitouch pad clicks, as on an Apple MacBook or HP's latest laptops such as the Pavilion dm4 or Envy series, but thanks to limited multitouch software supplied by ALPS, it can't register any of these clicks outside the button-size click zones on the bottom. The distracting blue glow can thankfully be deactivated, but the gimmick seems to have come at a cost for ergonomics: the glossy transparent plastic that comprises the touch pad is horrible for registering finger gestures; we had to press firmly with a flat finger to get it to work, and found finger-tip gestures to be intermittently ignored. Multitouch was also finicky and often nonresponsive. Although we like the idea of a recessed touch pad, it makes no sense for the button area to be recessed, too; it makes clicks very hard to accomplish without long-term hand cramping, since our thumb tended to rest above the click area.
The 14-inch wide-screen LED-backlit display offers a 1,366×768-pixel native resolution, standard for 14-inch laptops, although some high-end laptops such as the HP Envy 14 exceed it. Brightness and sharpness are average, but we found that images looked washed out at maximum brightness settings. The image quality faded at wide viewing angles, too. For this price range, other laptops offer better screens.
Stereo speakers located above the keyboard offered decent volume and quality for movie playback, nothing stellar but better than other laptops in the budget range. Dolby Home Theater is advertised on the laptop's exterior, but any theatrical audio effects don't translate onto smaller speakers such as these. The included Webcam had below-average light sensitivity and contrast; we had a hard time getting our face to not look grainy and completely washed out.
There isn't much room on the Gateway ID49C08U to cram many ports in, but to its credit there are four USB ports along the sides, one more than we would have expected. HDMI-out is also included, which is always useful in an era when HDTV connectivity is so easy. There's no Bluetooth, which for this price is a bit of a letdown.
On the positive side, the CPU/GPU configuration for the ID49C08U is pretty good and makes for a great one-two punch of processing power and gaming performance. The Intel Core i5 M450 CPU is the same one we've seen in many mainstream laptops, and it's a notable step up in single and multitasking speed compared with the Core i3 processor in the Gateway ID49C07U.
More impressive are the included Nvidia graphics. The included GeForce GT 330M processor produced very good results in our tests; our Unreal Tournament III benchmark performed at 1,280×768-pixel resolution at 80.4 frames per second. We also played some mainstream games including Transformers: War for Cybertron and got much better results than on laptops with the more common, lower-end GeForce 310M GPU.
In addition, the ID49C08U has Nvidia Optimus technology for automatic graphics switching and battery conservation. Optimus is really something that should work invisibly, paradoxically requiring no attention at all. It simply and automatically activates and deactivates the dedicated Nvidia graphics based on program usage, and it mostly works flawlessly. In some instances we had to add a program profile to Nvidia's settings, an unintuitive process, but not that common. The chief advantage to Optimus is it theoretically allows a thin laptop such as this to run full-powered graphics when needed, without sacrificing much in terms of battery life.

1979 Defined Who I Became.
People always say certain years pegged for them personally as the "best years of their lives". For me, 1979 definitely was the first significant turning point and first journey to the top of the see-saw climb when thing began to change fast and furiously as I first embraced life's challenges and adventures. I was fresh out of school (Class of 1979), had a great job (Evening Independent Sports Correspondent and DJ/Skate Guard at Southland Roller Palace) , the vast horizon in front of me of sports, academics and even a few moments left in the haze of a Fraternity (DTX) house were unfolding from the first celebrations at midnight on January 1st, to the last somber and emotional moments that December 31st as I welcomed not only a new decade, but the final unclothing of myself as a "teen".
1979 was a virtual time stamp of great developmental and athletic upswing for myself personally filled with escalating life moments that will definitely come rushing back to me like a Tropical Storm Debbie flash flood the moment the Tampa Bay Rays hit the turf with those retro powder blue and royal blue uniforms. "Turn Back the Clock" Night will definitely be an emotional as well as proud moment for me not only because I get to hear a band I treasured and wore out more than a few 8-Track cartridges on my Dynomite 8-track player.
Even the yellow hued stirrups adorning the Rays calves tonight will evoke a bit of my 1979 Northwest LL Senior League baseball moments. It was the year I got to stand to the right of future San Francisco Giant and Los Angeles Dodger shortstop Dave Anderson, plus the highly bright and audacious yellow mustard color scheme of the Rays stirrups tonight also were reminiscent of my own Monahan's Shell team issued leggings that always seemed to fall down to my ankles by the end of the game.
I wrote a post recently on the Rays retro gear they will adorn tonight and how I felt they kind of copied the 1979 styling s of the 1979 Brew Crew, but in reality maybe I wasn't fully attached at the moment of that post with the actual realization that this region could of ever been considered "Major League" by the rest of the baseball world in 1979. St. Petersburg, then known for its green benches and FREE newspapers when the Sun did not shine was packed to the brim during the Spring months with loads of MLB potential, but as the calendar always turned from March to April, the caravans and planes took our MLB hopes and our baseball idols away for the seasonal ride.
Might be a great ironic twist to tonight's events that Earth, Wind and Fire in January of 1979 entranced us all with their hits "September" and Thats the Way of the World" during an NBC Nationally televised a UNICEF Concert. This was also the year the hit that instantly goes into the minds of people "Boogie Wonderland" and "After the Love is Gone" hit the FM airwaves for the first time en route to Billboard Top 10 positions. Who doesn't remember roller skating to both of these hit at the typical Friday or Saturday night round-de-rounds on the skating floor either as disco dynamos or couple skating with that special someone.
Definitely going to feel weird tonight seeing the Tampa Bay Rays wearing uniforms that pre-date the franchise's First Pitch, and even their initial selection of their Expansion Draft. With the entire squad donning time inspired duds from 1979, it will evoke a bit of memories, especially of my Senior year at St. Petersburg's own Dixie Hollins. It will remind me of the year I "fro'd" my hair to honor a fallen comrade Al Bolden who was paralyzed in a football game that season against Lakewood High. It will bring back the sounds of "Rowdie Raccoon" as my favorite High School teacher Mr P used to call me daily because of my constant wardrobe of Rowdies and rugby attire.
The whole night from the moment I hit the Tropicana Gate 4 media entrance to the moment I again wander into the post-concert humid air, tonight will be both a love fest and emotional roller coaster that I hope I can truly stomach. Every one has defining moments in their life, 1979 held more than fist full of them for me. It was the year I finally got recognition as a ballplayer, signing my letter of intent that January. It was the calendar year I got to have a heart-to-heart and 3 hour clinic with the MLB player I idolized for so many years, and my game exploded with confidence.
From the moment of that first handshake with the immortal "Hot Corner" icon Brooks Robinson to today, my love for baseball expanded from a sport to a lifetime obsession as I got dirty that day guarding the line and gaining insight from one of the game's best defensive masters. 1979 was the year I proudly adorned my head with a cap featuring that pesky Orioles bird, and wore proudly until the first cap went on sale for our then D-Rays. Tonight is definitely going to be emotional, pulling at the old heartstrings with a vengeance.
This was also the year that writing and journalism took me by storm as I wrote for the High School paper (Rebel Rouser) along with Tampa Bay Times columnist John Romano, all the while flirting innocently with Diane Spears as Mrs Tucker scolded me. It was the year of my first cover story, my first byline both professionally and academically, it was the birth year of the obsession I still possess with writing that is still prevalent and evolving. 1979 was that catalyst moment not only in my physical sports, but in my life development. I owe a huge debt to 1979 that I can never repay because 1979 for me personally was all about the skating, graduation into adult life, the music of bands like Earth Wind and Fire and the first evolutionary moment of my new found love…baseball.

ROCKVILLE, MD., June 23 /PRNewswire/ -- MacroGenics, Inc., a privately held biotechnology company that develops immunotherapeutics to treat autoimmune disorders, cancer and infectious diseases, today announced that 1-year data from Protégé, the Company's Phase 3 clinical study of teplizumab in type 1 diabetes patients, will be presented at the American Diabetes Association's 71st Scientific Sessions symposium in San Diego, California on June 28, 2011 at 9:10 a.m. PDT.
About Teplizumab
Dr. Nicole Sherry, Director of the Diabetes Center at Massachusetts General Hospital for Children, and a lead investigator in the Protégé study, will be presenting the results of the Phase 3 data as well as the results of exploratory post-hoc analyses.
Teplizumab, also called MGA031 and hOKT3γ1 (Ala-Ala), is a humanized, anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody. Teplizumab binds to an epitope of the CD3-epsilon chain expressed on mature T lymphocytes and, by doing so, may modulate the pathological immunologic responses underlying multiple autoimmune diseases. Specifically, teplizumab may inhibit unwanted effector T cells and enhance beneficial regulatory T cell functions, thus promoting immune tolerance. MacroGenics retains full worldwide rights to teplizumab.

Does Ithaca College require SAT Subject Tests? What are the average SAT scores for entering IC students?
No, Ithaca does not require SAT Subject Tests, but you may submit your results as supplemental information. Every applicant has the option to either submit SAT or ACT scores as part of their admission file, or withhold them altogether from consideration.
Only students who are home-schooled or who attend high schools that provide only descriptive report cards (rather than alphanumeric grades) are required to submit either SAT or ACT scores. In those instances, SAT Subject Tests are still considered optional supplements.
The mid-50 percent range of SAT scores of admitted students = 1590 to 1880.

Minimum-wage measure could make S.F. ballot
Labor activists will file papers Monday to give San Francisco voters a chance to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour - the highest in the nation.
While Congress balks over raising the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour, the city's November ballot will probably include the "Minimum Wage Act of 2014," which is designed to lift base pay roughly 40 percent from its current $10.74.
The ballot measure, designed by SEIU Local 1021 and groups including the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, gives businesses with fewer than 100 employees until 2017 to lift wages to $15 an hour. But they must raise wages to $13 an hour by 2015 and $14 by 2016, according to the proposal.
Companies with more than 100 employees would have until 2016 to raise wages to $15 an hour. They must lift base wages to $13 an hour by January, the proposal says. The measure would cover all part-time, temporary and contract employees.
The proposal would also create a new Employment Standards Oversight Committee - with four members appointed by the Board of Supervisors and three by the mayor - to monitor how the new law is implemented and enforced.
"This is about lifting up everybody in the community, not just low-wage workers," said Shaw San Liu, a spokeswoman for the San Francisco Progressive Workers Alliance. "When low-income people have more money, they will spend it in the community, helping small businesses and everybody."
Big worries
While sympathetic to San Francisco's high cost of living and even supportive of raising the minimum wage, some small-business owners like Books Inc. President Michael Tucker say raising it so quickly will have significant repercussions.
"You can't put us in the same league as Walmart or the dot-coms," said Tucker.
Books Inc., which has six bookstores in San Francisco and 111 workers across the Bay Area, operates on a 2 percent profit margin. Tucker says a 40 percent jump in wages would add up to $500,000 annually. He fears he would need to consider layoffs or the closure of a store.
Then there's the "ladder effect." Should the measure pass, not only would Tucker have to raise the salaries of his minimum-wage workers, but also those of employees higher up on the pay scale.
"Supervisors are not going to want to be paid (the same) as the people they're supervising," he said.
If an employer doesn't raise all employee wages accordingly "it would make for some very unhappy employees - and that's not good," said Rick Karp, president of Cole Hardware, which has been in his family since 1959. Cole has 105 employees at four San Francisco locations.
Like Tucker, Karp supports raising the minimum wage - just not so quickly. His store's base pay is $12 an hour, but he says increasing it to $15 would cost him roughly $400,000 annually.
"I know, for one thing, there would be a hiring freeze immediately," Karp said.
Unlike major corporations, small-business owners say they don't have as much flexibility to raise prices to cover increased labor costs. Many are competing with online retailers, who can undercut brick-and-mortar prices, said Hut Landon, executive director of the San Francisco Locally Owned Merchants Alliance.
"This notion that you can just pass on the cost to the consumer isn't feasible in this day and age of people shopping online," said Landon.
Plus, Landon said, "how is a $15-an-hour minimum wage going to solve the housing crisis?"
A needed boost
Raising the minimum wage would help people like Raymundo Gutierrez and Hector Mojon. Both work at Kokkari Estiatorio restaurant, Guitierrez as a line cook and Mojon as a dishwasher.
Guitierrez can barely afford his $480 monthly share for the one-bedroom apartment near Civic Center that he splits with his four brothers - even with a second job cooking at Bistro restaurant several times a week.
Gutierrez never has a full day off and rarely more than a few extra dollars at the end of the month. Anything left goes home to his wife in Mexico, who cares for their child and the children of his sister- and brother-in-law, who died a few years ago. He also is helping out his father, who has had six operations on his colon and two on his eyes.
Gutierrez, who is a citizen, hopes to bring his wife and children to the U.S.
"I love what I do and where I work," Gutierrez said in Spanish through a translator. "But (the workload) is heavy."
Past hike
The city's last minimum wage bump in 2003 didn't cause spikes in retail prices or the unemployment rate.
Even though San Francisco has also mandated universal health care and paid sick leave in addition to its already high minimum wage - the nation's highest big-city base rate - private-sector employment grew 5.6 percent from 2004 to 2011, according to a recent study by UC Berkeley economists. Employers absorbed the costs largely through reduced turnover, lower absenteeism and fewer grievances. Restaurant prices increased just 2.8 percent, the study found.
What's different now is that there is increasing public sentiment that raising the wage floor would help close the city's income gap.
The divide between San Francisco's richest and poorest citizens is growing faster than any city in the country, according to a study released by the Brookings Institution last month. Advocates for low-income workers say raising the minimum wage would put an additional $8,861 annually in the hands of each full-time minimum wage worker.
Support for increase
Last month, The Chronicle reported that 59 percent of the respondents to a survey of likely San Francisco voters supported raising the minimum wage, while 36 percent opposed it. The survey, which was funded by several unions that support raising the minium wage, has a margin of error of 4.9 percent.
Other cities and states are contemplating raising the minimum wage. Last month, the Richmond City Council voted to raise its minimum wage from $8 to $12.30 an hour by 2017. Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation last fall to raise California's minimum wage, currently at $8 an hour, to $10 by 2016.

When the charter was granted, Trinity House had a hall and almshouses at Deptford. Premises were acquired in Ratcliff and Stepney in the 17th century and meetings were held at all three sites. The Corporation bought a property in Water Lane in the City of London in 1660. The Hall in Water Lane burnt down and was rebuilt twice, in 1666 and 1714. When it proved too cramped for proposed improvements in the 1790s, the Corporation bought land at Tower Hill on which Trinity House was built 1793-6. The present building retains the 1790s facade but a bomb on 30 December 1940 destroyed most of the rest of the original building which was sympathetically rebuilt in 1952-3.
The Corporation of Trinity House has had three main functions for most of its history:
1) General Lighthouse Authority for England, Wales, the Channel Islands and Gibraltar. It is therefore responsible for providing lighthouses, light vessels, buoys and beacons. Until 1836 however, the Corporation of Trinity House did not have a monopoly on the erection of lighthouses and many were built by private entrepreneurs. This competition occurred because of the large sums of money which could be raised from "light dues", charges levied on ships entering or leaving port. Light dues were collected by Customs officials in each port, acting as collectors for the Corporation of Trinity House and the other proprietors. From 1841, when the Corporation bought the last lighthouse in private hands, all lighthouse keepers were employed as Trinity House staff. The dues continued to be collected by H M Customs and the money was paid (from 1898) into the General Lighthouse Fund.
The archive includes some records of lighthouses which predate the Corporation's acquisition of them. These records were probably acquired by purchase or gift and were found amongst the papers of Captain Chaplin, an elder brother with an antiquarian interest in the Corporation's history. All plans and drawings of lighthouses (including those sold or demolished) have been retained by Trinity House. These may be viewed by prior appointment and/or copies purchased via firstname.lastname@example.com. Guildhall Library holds catalogues of these plans (GL Ms 30131A).
2) Pilotage Authority for London and forty other districts (known as outports) including Southampton but excluding Liverpool, Bristol and several ports in the North-East of England. Although the Corporation had general powers to regulate pilotage from 1514 and the exclusive right to license pilots on the Thames from 1604, the system of outports was only formally established in 1808. Separate records of examination and licensing of pilots only begin in 1808.
Until the Corporation lost its role as a pilotage authority in 1988, it licensed but did not employ pilots who were all self-employed. The pilotage service provided by the Corporation was financed by a levy on pilots' earnings, by dues paid by vessels and by pilots' licences. Each pilot had to renew his licence yearly when his general health, eyesight and knowledge of local waters were tested. The Corporation remains the licensing authority for deep sea pilots.
3) Charitable organisation for the relief of mariners and their dependants in distress. Until 1854, the Corporation was able to extend assistance to mariners and their families throughout the UK (independent of any previous connection with Trinity House) because some of the large income from light dues was channelled to charitable purposes. The Corporation also raises money from estates left by elder brethren and other benefactors. In 1815, for example, it supported 144 almspeople and 7,012 out-pensioners.
The Corporation of Trinity House has had many other functions, largely carried out or supervised by the Board of 10 Elder brethren. Elder brethren are elected (for life) from the pool of around 300 Younger brethren who are primarily Merchant Navy captains (with a few Royal Navy officers).
These functions have included the supply of ballast to ships in the Thames; sitting in the Admiralty Court to hear collision cases; the examination of Royal Naval navigation officers in pilotage; and the examination of Christ's Hospital mathematical scholars in navigation.
The records of the Corporation of Trinity House have suffered from fire in 1666 and 1714 and from bombing in 1940. Though the court minutes survive from 1661, many other series of records are only present from the 19th century. Because of the many ways in which the Corporation of Trinity House has touched on British maritime life, the records which survive are still very rich and extremely varied.
The archive is subject to a thirty year closure period and researchers must seek permission to see any record less than thirty years old. Please contact the Manuscripts Section for further details.
Because of shortage of staff time, Guildhall Library is unable to carry out detailed searches of the Corporation of Trinity House archive. Enquirers are welcome to visit the Manuscripts Section in person or to hire a record agent (details are given in the access leaflet).
The Printed Books Section of Guildhall Library holds a number of published works on the history of the Corporation of Trinity House.

Tulsa Events, Coupons, Reviews!
Tulsa Events, Coupons, Reviews!
Medieval Times has just unveiled a brand-new show! It's an evening of knights, horses, royalty, and a whole lot of good food. Let the tournament begin!
DISCLAIMER: We were given tickets to the new Medieval Times show in exchange for sharing our experience. Read on to hear how it went!
Our latest stop on our year of travel was Orlando! Technically we stayed in Groveland, Florida, where my parents recently moved, but their house is just a quick half hour drive to Orlando and all of the fun and excitement that comes with it!
One evening we all headed to Medieval Times for dinner and a show. We've been to other Medieval Times locations in the past, and it's become a family favorite!
Our littlest was thrilled to be having dinner in a "real castle!" And when she found out she got to wear a crown, too, she was really living her best life!
We were on Team Yellow Knight, so after entering the arena and being shown to our seats, we got ready to cheer for our hero!
For the first time in Medieval Times' 35-year history, a Queen has taken the throne! Her Majesty Dona Maria Isabella presides over the tournament of knights who gather in celebration to test their skill against one another in a series of games, jousting, and combat.
The story unfolds before you, accompanied by a sweeping musical score and brilliant lights. The meal is served throughout the night, in several courses, as you enjoy the show.
As the knights complete challenges, they are given flowers to throw to their admirers. Our knight threw one to Vanessa, and she caught it!
As part of the story, Queen Dona Maria Isabella welcomes all as her guests and a feast is served! And what a feast it is! Everything is meant to be eaten with your hands as in…medieval times! And everything is SO GOOD!
We started with tomato soup and garlic bread, which was followed by a roast chicken, baked potato, and corn-on-the-cob. Later on, they brought us ice cream with caramel sauce. There are several beverages to choose from, and they also have a cash bar. We all ate very well- everything was delicious!
Medieval Times is running a fantastic promotion where you can see the new show and enjoy the feast for just $37 per person! That's half of the regular cost and a great deal because it includes all of the amazing food and the impressive show!
Be sure to mention or enter "USF37" as the promotional code. Enjoy your visit to the castle and traveling back to Medieval Times!

No. 13 UConn beats Loyola (Md) 76-66
Recommended Video:
HARTFORD (AP) -- DeAndre Daniels had 21 points and eight rebounds to help No. 13 Connecticut remain undefeated with a 76-66 win over Loyola, Md., on Tuesday night.
Ryan Boatright added 13 points and eight boards for the Huskies (7-0) and Lasan Kromah, a transfer from George Washington, chipped in a season-high 12 points.
Dylon Cormier had 23 points for Loyola (4-1). The senior guard had been averaging just under 30 points per game.
A 3-pointer by Cormier early in the second half cut what had been a 15-point UConn lead to 38-35.
Kromah gave The Huskies some breathing room, hitting a 3-pointer, then stealing the ball and going in for a layup that put the Huskies up 61-50. A 3-pointer by Daniels closed the 10-2 run and gave UConn a 14-point lead.
The Greyhounds cut the lead to nine late, but couldn't get closer.
Both teams got off to slow starts, shooting a combined 3 of 11 from the field in the first 4 minutes, leaving the game tied at 4-4 going into the first media timeout.
Niels Giffey hit a 3-pointer and dunked the ball the next two times down the court, sparking a 9-0 run that gave UConn a 15-6 lead.
Connecticut extended the run to 17-3 before Loyola's R.J. Williams banked in a straight-on 3-pointer to cut the lead to 23-12. Giffey (9) Kromah (5) came off the bench to account for 14 points before halftime.
The Greyhounds closed the first half on a 7-0 run, helped by a pair of turnovers by UConn's Phil Nolan. A driving layup by Cormier cut the lead to 34-26 at the break. He hit another layup to open the second half, cutting the deficit to six.
Cormier, who had eight points in the first half, had 13 more in the first six minutes of the second half. He didn't score again until hitting a pair of foul shots with 1:23 left that cut the UConn lead to nine.
But Daniels had 18 of his points in the second half.
Connecticut was coming off two wins by a total of three points in the 2K Sports Classic. The Huskies beat Boston College 72-70 and won the championship over Indiana 59-58.
The wins pushed the Huskies from No. 18 to No. 13 in this week's AP poll.
Coach Kevin Ollie had warned the team not to overlook the Greyhounds in what set up to be a trap game, with No. 15 Florida looming as the Huskies' next opponent.
The Huskies were outrebounded by the Greyhounds 40-39.
Connecticut, which led the nation in blocked shots every year between 2002 and 2009, had 11 against Loyola. Daniels and freshman Amida Brimah each had three. The Huskies' 7-foot freshman center has 24 this season.
Loyola, under coach G.G. Smith, the sun of Texas Tech's Tubby Smith, is coming off a 23-12 season. They jumped this season from the MAAC to the Patriot League and opened the season with four straight wins. Those included an 89-83 overtime win against Maryland-Baltimore County a week ago, a game in which they trailed by 17 points with less than 10 minutes to play. Their other three wins came against Binghamton, Cornell (also in overtime) and Fairfield.
This was their first time facing Connecticut.
Connecticut hasn't lost a nonconference game at home to an unranked opponent since falling to Indiana, 77-73 in Hartford in January, 2007.
Smith was coaching his first game since the birth of his first son. Ross Patrick Smith was born on Nov. 21.
