ELSAH, Ill. – GC utilized a balanced and frantic scoring attack to post a season-high 115 points on SLIAC opponent Principia Monday night, and claimed the road win in Elsah, Ill. helping keep their post-season conference hopes alive.
Seniors K.J. Hilliard and Dondrale Campbell led Greenville in the win, each posting 16 points while grabbing four boards Monday night.
From tip-off Principia College was unable to keep up with the hard running and highflying Black & Orange. At the conclusion of first period play GC had already mounted a 60-39 margin. After intermission, Greenville continued to run away with the game and finally closed the contest with a final score of 115-76.
The GC squad shot 54% from the field and out-rebounded the Gold and Blue of Principia 40-25. Greenville had balanced scoring with 5 players in double figures, and netted 9-20 (45.0%) from beyond the arc.
With the loss Principia falls to a winless 0-23 (0-14 SLIAC).
Claiming the win Greenville College men's basketball advances to 13-9 (8-6 SLIAC) and still remains hopeful for a bid to compete in the upcoming SLIAC Conference Tournament. GC will aim to take care of business on Monday, February 21 as they invite a talented Spalding team to H.J. Long Gymnasium. Monday night's contest will serve as GC senior night and the final regular season game of the 2012 season.

Johansen and Dubinsky have 3 points each, Blue Jackets beat Islanders 5-2 to snap 5-game skid
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Maybe it was finally a sign of better things to come for slow-starting Columbus and youngster Ryan Johansen.
A big center with all the tools to be an elite player, Johansen paced the Blue Jackets with a standout game Saturday night. He had a goal and two assists for a career-high three points as Columbus beat the New York Islanders 5-2 to snap a five-game losing streak.
"It's a good feeling," Johansen said. "We're a little behind now. We've just got to look at the good things here and move forward."
The Blue Jackets entered 5-10 and only three points from the NHL cellar. But the offense came to life, tying a season high for goals.
Brandon Dubinsky had a goal and two assists, matching his career best for points. Cam Atkinson and R.J. Umberger also scored for the Blue Jackets, who pulled away with three goals in the third period. James Wisniewski added an empty-net goal and an assist.
Asked what was different about the third period, Columbus coach Todd Richards said his team just stayed the course.
"I think we continued to play our game, which was the positive thing," he said. "We capitalized on our opportunities. A big power-play goal gave our team some confidence."
The line of Dubinsky, Johansen and Atkinson led the way with seven points to end Columbus' longest skid in two years.
"I think we were just working off each other, getting in on the forecheck hard," Atkinson said. "As soon as we did that it seemed like they were turning the pucks over and we capitalized on our opportunities."
Last season's Vezina Trophy winner, Sergei Bobrovsky, who had struggled of late, played his second consecutive strong game. He made 24 saves and punctuated his performance with an assist on Wisniewski's goal.
The Blue Jackets went 2 for 4 on the power play and now hit the road for seven of their next eight games, including a long-distance swing through Western Canada.
"If it were to have gone the other way tonight it would be tough going into Washington and Boston on the road," Johansen said. "Now we have some momentum."
Frans Nielsen and Thomas Hickey scored for the Islanders, handed their third loss in a row. New York has only two wins in its last seven games.
Islanders coach Jack Capuano said there were some things he liked, and a lot he didn't.
"They've got to figure it out," he said of his players. "We're not talking systems and structure. We're talking battle. We lost a battle on Atkinson's goal. We took a hit. It's a game of physicality and we responded the wrong way."
To make matters worse, with Brian Strait, Lubomir Visnovsky and Cal Clutterbuck already out of action, Thomas Vanek sustained an upper-body injury on his first shift and played only 23 seconds in his sixth game since being acquired from Buffalo.
New York had one power play and has not scored a man-advantage goal in seven games, going 0 for 22.
Evgeni Nabokov struggled controlling rebounds as the game went along. He stopped 24 of 28 shots and has allowed 17 goals in his last four games.
With the score tied at 2, Travis Hamonic was whistled for slashing 15 seconds into the third period and Umberger scored his third goal 12 seconds later, redirecting Wisniewski's point shot.
"Our penalty kill let us down again," Capuano said.
Atkinson followed at 3:24 with his fourth, shoveling Johansen's rebound over Nabokov, positioned too deep in his net.
The two-goal cushion and mini offensive outburst for Columbus was a long time coming. Early in the second period, the Blue Jackets finally broke a 17-minute stretch without a shot on goal. Johansen soon followed with his fifth goal, scoring on a breakaway at 9:27 to make it 2-1 and give Columbus its first lead in about 310 minutes spanning six games.
Johansen blocked Hickey's point shot and took off toward the Islanders net, with Dubinsky hitting him in stride. Johansen roofed a shot over Nabokov's glove.
"I thought everybody was on the same page right from the start," Johansen said. "We were all working together."
The lead only lasted 4 minutes, though.
Hickey redeemed himself with his first goal of the season as the teams played four aside. He ripped a long-range shot that redirected off Johansen's stick and past Bobrovsky.
Columbus was outshot 9-2 in the first period despite having two power plays. But late in the first man advantage, Dubinsky flicked a backhander from the slot through traffic. The puck hit the left post, with the rebound bouncing off Nabokov and in at 6:25 for Dubinsky's fourth.
Nielsen scored his team-leading ninth to draw the Islanders even with 35 seconds left in the period. On the counter attack, Nielsen skated the distance along the right wing, cut to the high slot and ripped a shot that squeezed through Bobrovsky.
"We just wanted to manage those gray areas," Johansen said. "A fast team like the Islanders, you've got to make sure you're managing the puck well."
NOTES: The Blue Jackets are 11-1-4 all-time against the Islanders, including 7-0-2 at home. ... RW Marian Gaborik, without a goal in his last six games, hit the post early in the second period with Columbus on a power play. ... Hamonic played his 200th NHL game.

BLACKSBURG, Va. (Feb. 5, 2010) - Both Duronal Monal (Belle Glade, Fla.) and Mike James (Palm Bay, Fla.) were left feeling a little bittersweet after their performances on Friday night at the Virginia Tech Elite Meet inside Rector Field House.
With the Buccaneer sprinters looking to showcase strong performances against some of the top competitors in not only the region but the country, James and Monal both committed false starts in their respective events.
James, who was running against a loaded field in the 60m hurdles, won his heat and placed fourth overall in the prelims on Friday evening. The Palm Bay, Fla. native turned in a time of 8.13; however, committed a false start in the finals and didn't place.
Meanwhile, in the 60m prelims, Monal had the same misfortune he suffered while competing in the event last month at the Niswonger Invitational. For the second time this year, Monal was dealt a false start and couldn't compete in the event.
Then, in the final event of the night, Monal turned things around in the 200 meters. The senior sprinter won his heat and finished third overall after clocking in at 21.61. James, who was also competing in the event, turned in his fastest time this season - finishing with a mark of 22.82.
The ETSU track and field team returns to action next weekend when the Bucs send athletes to Clemson for the Tiger Paw Classic and to Fayetteville, Ark. for the Tyson Invitational.For more information on Buccaneer track and field, visit www.ETSUBucs.com.

Really ticked: NH beset by flourishing populationBy PAUL FEELY
New Hampshire Union Leader
May 31. 2014 7:34PM
New Hampshire residents endured a long, harsh winter, but experts say the frigid temperatures and steady snowfall had little effect on the state's tick population.
They also warn it's too early to tell if the recent cool, wet weather pattern will cause an onslaught of mosquitoes and black flies in the coming weeks.
"It's been a great winter for ticks, not so great for us," said Alan Eaton, an entomologist with the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension, who reports already encountering a large number of ticks during his fieldwork this spring. "They seem pretty abundant this year. Ticks have been increasing in number. It's a pretty grim picture - unless you like ticks."
Pest control experts say 2014 is already looking like it will be one of their busiest years in terms of calls for service.
"I would say about 20 percent of our calls are for ticks," said Sarah MacGregor, president of Dragon Mosquito Control in Stratham, which provides mosquito and pest control for municipalities and homeowners across southern New Hampshire and the Seacoast region. "That's up over previous years. Ticks are definitely what everyone seems to be talking about right now. I've already pulled two off myself this spring. It's crazy."
Eaton said a good snow cover this winter allowed ticks to survive well during the cold months.
"It snowed early, and the snow stuck around until late in the spring," said Eaton. "Ticks don't survive very well when it's dry, so that snow cover gave them a nice protective layer, almost like a blanket, to hang out under until spring. The cold doesn't really affect them."
Eaton said the size of the state's tick population this spring and summer will depend on rainfall patterns. Periods of drought will limit tick activity and population growth.
A potential rise in the tick population has state health officials concerned over the possible spread of Lyme disease.
According to the most recent national data, from 2012, New Hampshire reported the highest rate of Lyme disease in the U.S. - 75.9 confirmed cases per 100,000 people.
The state's Department of Health and Human Services reported on May 20 that 1,689 cases of Lyme disease were identified in the state in 2013, the highest number over the past five years by 74 cases.
The highest rates of the disease were in Hillsborough, Rockingham and Strafford counties.
"Unfortunately, Lyme disease remains common in New Hampshire," said New Hampshire Public Health Director Dr. José Montero. "We cannot afford to let our guard down."
Lyme risk is high from mid-May through mid-July because young tick nymphs are active, and roughly the size of the head of a pin.
"They are hard to spot," said Eaton.
During tick season, health officials are asking residents and visitors to the state to perform frequent tick checks and wear appropriate clothing while outdoors.
Eaton said frequently checking for ticks, avoiding thick brush and tall grass, tucking one's pant legs into socks and applying repellents to clothing all help to significantly reduce the chance of picking up the parasites.
Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium, and passed to humans through the bite of an infected tick. The primary carrier is the black-legged tick, commonly known as a deer tick. After an infected adult tick bites a host, it takes a minimum of 30 hours to pass on the disease. For nymph ticks, the time frame is reduced to 24 hours.
Symptoms of Lyme disease include fever, headache, fatigue, and often a skin rash that starts out round and looks like a bulls-eye.
Eaton said it's still too early to know what the state's mosquito and black fly population will look like.
"It depends on the weather pattern," said Eaton. "If we get some warmer weather, followed by a few inches of rain, then warm weather, and more rain, then the numbers could explode."

I'll let Douglas Keeney's own words and this image speak for themselves: "The geography of human conflict as seen from space at night. The Strait of Hormuz as seen at night from the space station is a beautiful lesson in the geography of conflict. How much we learn by simply tracing the fingers of human populations as seen superimposed over the geography of Earth. Enjoy."

Steve Perry Gets Serious About Recording New Album
Steve Perry hasn't issued any new music since 1998. However, the self-exiled former Journey frontman is putting the finishing touches on a studio at his Southern California home, which means he'll soon record and rock fans will get to hear that powerful voice once again.
"I've written a whole bunch of ideas and directions, all over the map, in the last two, three years," Perry told Billboard. "I plan on getting in the studio at some point and start trying to track these things and see where they go."
One key element of the process is the lack of pressure. That is something Perry, 62, does not need or want in his life when it comes to making music. Pressure, he says, distracts him. "I'll worry about it sucking, and then what am I gonna do? I've got all this pressure… that I just don't want on me, so I've allowed myself the ability to sketch and write as I go, and I'll do it at my own pace," he said.
Doing things on his clock is crucial, since he's getting up there in age, something he's not in denial over: "I'm no spring chicken. The same arthritis that ate up my left hip that finally got replaced hasn't stopped there… And touring is a lot of work. I'm impressed when I see people like Eric Clapton out there. Gee whiz, Eric, give me a break! It's amazing. I know it's gotta hurt somewhere."
The inevitable topic came up – his relationship with his former bandmates, who fans hope, wish and pray that he'll reunite with for one more go round. He called the relationship "civil through channels." That sounds like managers do the communicating instead of Perry trading "Miss You, LOL!"texts with Schon or bassist Ross Valory.
He admitted, "We really don't have a lot to say to each other at this point. We have certainly for years now gone our separate ways and we're all living different lives. They've got their singer and they're working and they're happy and everybody's fine."
Separate ways, huh? Just like the Journey song!

Take your time: Olafur Eliasson, the first comprehensive survey in the United States to explore the highly experimental work of Olafur Eliasson, whose large-scale immersive environments and installations elegantly recreate the extremes of landscape and atmosphere in his native Iceland. In his work, Eliasson recontextualizes elements such as light, water, ice, fog, stone, and moss to create unique situations that shift the viewer's perception of place and self. By transforming the galleries into hybrid spaces of nature and culture, Eliasson prompts an intensive engagement with the world and offers a fresh consideration of everyday life.
The exhibition's 38 works include 14 of those featured in the originating exhibition first presented at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art as well as 24 additional works, six of which were uniquely designed for this exhibition.
Probing the cognitive aspects of what it means to see, Eliasson creates complex optical phenomena using simple, makeshift technical devices: Colored bulbs bathe a room in yellow light, turning everything inside monochrome; strobes illuminate a thin curtain of falling water, causing the eye to "freeze" the droplets in midair; kaleidoscopes produce colorful prismatic effects; mirrors reflect spotlight beams, revealing an artificial dimension. By making visible the mechanics of his works and laying bare the artifice of the illusion, Eliasson points to the elliptical relationship between reality, perception, and representation.
Inspired by the meteorology and terrain of his native Scandinavia, Eliasson often recontextualizes natural phenomena, as exemplified by his wall of reindeer moss at MoMA and indoor rainbow and upward-flowing waterfall at P.S.1. In his works these sights appear natural, yet invariably they are artificially induced. Even as his work fosters wonder, it also emphasizes the ways in which cultural institutions mediate our perception of natural phenomena.
The monumental new installation Take your time (2008), one of the six new works Eliasson created for the New York presentation, takes its name from the exhibition's title. A circular mirror, 40 feet in diameter and weighing 600 pounds, is mounted to the ceiling of P.S.1's largest gallery at an angle and rotates at one revolution per minute, destabilizing viewers' perception of space as they pass underneath it.

Digital Harbor's football team finished last season 1-9, but the Rams overcame two huge hurdles to double last year's win total in just their second game — against one of their toughest Baltimore City opponents in a game completed Monday.
Not only did the Rams have to resume a game they were leading when it was suspended by lightning Saturday night, but they gave up three touchdowns before scoring twice in the final four minutes to edge Patterson, 35-34.
First-year Rams quarterback Dominic Barnes threw a 50-yard pass to Devante Conyers with 3:44 left and then raced around the right side to complete the critical conversion run that cut Patterson's lead to 34-29 with 3:44 to go.
After a short Clippers' punt less than a minute later, Barnes turned a broken third-down pass play into a 50-yard touchdown run to give the Rams a 35-34 edge with 1:44 to.
"I had to improvise," Barnes said. "I had just thrown a touchdown to Devante Conyers and I knew they were going to key on him, because he's one of my main deep threats, so I wanted to take the game over. I knew the game was in my hands and I like it when the game depends on me."
Barnes, a Rams basketball player, played Pop Warner football until high school, when he opted to concentrate on basketball. His return has given the Rams a boost, but they have a senior-laden team with a lot of other talent.
Against Patterson, Barnes rushed for two touchdowns and passed for another well as running in the conversion that was so critical in giving the Rams their one-point edge.
After Barnes gave them the lead, Marquiese Walker picked off Craig Oliver's pass on the Clippers' first play from scrimmage to seal the comeback.
The big finish proved quite a turnaround from last season's 64-20 loss to the Clippers.
Giving up three touchdowns at the start of Monday's action, "was a little bit of a smack," Rams coach Keith Rudolph said, "but it also made us remember last year. I think a lot of the kids did not want to go through what they went through last year. That's where they fought against adversity, came back and made it happen. I'm extremely proud of them."
Conyers, a junior veteran said, "This is a real big win for us, because they smacked us in the face last year and we've been talking about this since last year. Through the summer and all, we were just working hard and it paid off."
The game, played at Poly, resumed Monday with 8:01 left in the third quarter and the Rams holding a 21-14 lead. The Rams had all the momentum when the game was interrupted Saturday night, but the Clippers (1-1) seized it Monday, scoring three straight times to take a 34-21 lead on Craig Oliver's 67-yard touchdown pass to Pete Carter with 4:01 left.
Oliver, a senior who stepped into the quarterback role for the first time this season, threw three touchdown passes in the game to Carter and one to Maurice Green.
After he suffered bruised ribs in the first half Saturday, Oliver's status was iffy for Monday, but he was on the field almost every play.
The Clippers, however, struggled to move the ball on the ground in part because of a line that is still coming together after graduating all but one starter.
"The biggest part that I thought really hurt us was, besides Dominic running the ball, we couldn't run the ball," Patterson coach Corey Johnson said. "When they scored the touchdown and made it 34-29, we had the ball with three minutes left. We went backward. We could not gain positive yards on the ground. That forced us not to be able to milk the clock and keep the ball in our possession for that last three minutes."

Taiwan LED Industry Aims to Innovate in High-Value Applications
By SEMI Taiwan
Taiwan is the world's leader in LED manufacturing with 41 LED fabs representing over 21 percent of the world's capacity — more than any other region (according to SEMI Opto/LED Fab Forecast report). After the challenging year of 2011, the LED industry finally sees growth opportunities again as the penetration rates of LED TV backlight and general lighting increase. The long-term prospects of the LED market are still promising; it is expected that the five-year CAGR of the European LED market will be 38 percent, and China's 12th Five Year Plan will drive 70 billion RMB of LED production value. However, Taiwan's LED industry still needs to find ways to strengthen its LED supply chain and production competencies to counter the challenges from both international and Chinese companies. At the May 31st "2012 LED Strategy Planning and New Opportunity" SEMI seminar in Hsinchu, experts from TSMC Solid State Lighting, Edison Opto, and ITRI shared their insights on the challenges and new opportunities in Taiwan's LED industry.
"The production value of Taiwan's LED industry was NTD 134.6 billion (US$ 4.5 billion) in 2011, and that is expected to reach NTD 200 billion this year (US$ 6.7 billion) — about a 50 percent increase)," says Terry Tsao, president of Taiwan and Southeast Asia, SEMI Taiwan. "Driven by the requirements from China's 12th Five Year Plan, general lighting and TV backlighting, Taiwan's LED industry which has a comprehensive supply chain with more than 200 companies, should be well prepared to grasp new opportunities for the next stage."
Mu-Tao Chu, director of W Division Opto-Electronics Device and System Applications Division, ITRI, indicates that as LED efficiency exceeds 100 lm/W, the LED lighting market will increase rapidly in the near future. It is estimated that LED lighting is likely to account for 30 percent of the worldwide lighting market by 2015, and LED light sources and fixture costs are the key.
Although Taiwan has a complete LED manufacturing chain, Chu states that Taiwan has not done enough in the development of LED lighting products and the deployment of export outlets. However, Taiwan still has advantages, "Though our product efficiency is not top of the world, Taiwan makers can provide products with the best price/performance ratio and leading DOE specifications by 2~3 years."
At present, the efficiency of LED products in mass production is already over130 lm/W, and that will be improved to 200 lm/W by 2015. According to Chu, the key development trends will mainly focus on finding solutions of the lowest cost and usable quality ($/lm). Therefore, it will involve high efficiency (lm/W) technology, new substrate, production, and inspection structures.
For the future of Taiwan's LED industry, Chu suggests that, in addition to focusing on developing high-efficiency, low-cost LED component and module technologies for LED lighting market, companies should also invest in high-value applications, such as high-quality intelligent lighting, interactive control technologies to further expand the scope.
Chu introduced several developing innovative technologies, including 200mm GaN-on-Si, μ-LED array, thin-film LED package, UV-LED, intelligent lighting, and agriculture and aquarium LED lighting, saying that Taiwan companies will be able to create higher value from these high-end LED applications and technologies.
Chih-Lin Wang, deputy director of the Emitter Technology Integration program at TSMC Solid State Lighting, discussed the LED requirements for lighting applications based on different specifications such as lm/W, lm/$, and lm/package.
Wang indicated that, as efficacy has improved significantly in recent years, it will not be an issue in the future. According to the targets defined by DOE, efficacy of LED warm white and cool white will reach 253 and 258 lm/W respectively by 2020. Therefore, the more crucial issue is is how to reduce cost further.
"Additionally, requirement of LED quality will keep increasing, such as color rendering, saturation, consistency, and life. These will be the key differentiating advantages for LED market," said Wang.
Jian-Ming Chen, special assistant of Edison Opto, stated "Driven by China government's policy supports and subsidies, the local LED industry has grown rapidly in recent years. Companies like Kingsun, Yankon, and NVC-Lighting are therefore emerging quickly due to government's aggressive promotion of street lights and commercial lighting applications."
According to Chen, it's not easy for Taiwan makers to win bids of the 12th Five Year Plan government LED projects. Moreover, some bids are conducted on a so-called energy contract management base. It requests bidding winners to sign a three- to five-year long-term contract, and the payment is based on the reduction of electricity bill after LED lamps are installed (to guarantee the quality of the construction). Without strong financial support, many companies may not be able to take work on these government projects.
Edison Opto now mainly focuses on customization services, aiming to provide lighting design manufacturing services (LDMS) covering thermal, electrical, mechanical, and optical solutions. "We need to compete in the battlefield that we are good at. That's service!" Chen stressed. "Taiwan makers should figure out their own strategies and directions by developing innovative applications and technologies to survive the fierce competition."
To help Taiwan LED companies make inroads into new market, "LED Taiwan Exposition," the only LED manufacturing-focused exhibition in Taiwan, will be co-located with SEMICON Taiwan this year. In addition to Innovation Technology Center and LED University Research programs, a whole-day LED international forum will also be held on September 7. Leading leaders in the industry and market research firms, including Brewer Science, Everlight, TSMC Solid State Lighting, and Yole Développement, will share their opinions on industry trends at the LED forum.

Protein Found That May Provide Relief from Neuropathic Pain

Newswise — A New Protein Found in the Blood May Provide Relief from Neuropathic Pain Neuropathic pain is caused by injury to the peripheral nerves in diseases such as HIV/AIDS, shingles, and cancer or in repetitive motion disorders and trauma, and does not respond well to conventional pain-relieving drugs.
Research in rodents by scientists from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine has provided evidence that a protein called LRP1 may help to ease neuropathic pain by blocking the response of glial cells that support and protect sensory neurons in the peripheral nervous system. Their findings, which could represent a novel target for neuropathic pain therapy, are published in the December 3 issue of the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
"Neuropathic pain differs from ordinary pain in that it is usually perceived as ongoing burning or as 'pins and needles' electric-shock type of sensation," said Wendy Campana, Ph.D., associate professor in UCSD's Department of Anesthesiology, who led the study. "It is caused by nerve damage that can be associated with chronic inflammation or direct nerve injury."
The UCSD studies show that a form of LRP1 that is present in body fluids such as blood counteracts the activity of inflammatory cytokines, proteins which are involved in developing and sustaining chronic pain states. Cytokines act as messengers to either stimulate or inhibit the immune response, are produced by many cell types including white blood cells present during infection and inflammation
"We think that the anti-inflammatory activity of LRP1 can be harnessed to decrease chronic pain," said Campana. "By decreasing the presence of cytokines in the area of nerve damage, LRP1 calms the pain signals that are sent to the spinal cord." In-vitro analysis confirmed that LRP1 works to modify the response of glial cells that results in neuropathic pain, according to Campana, who added that interactions of neurons and glial cells are very important in determining pain.
Campana worked with post-doctoral scholar Alban Gaultier, Ph.D., and Steven L. Gonias, M.D., chair of UCSD's Department of Pathology, who are exploring other aspects of LRP1 function. The UCSD scientists observed that injured peripheral nerves in both mice and rats release LRP1 into the surrounding tissue.
Administration of LRP1 into the rodents' sciatic nerves prior to injury provided a protective effect, decreasing the level and activity of injury-induced proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-alpha, in the local environment and inhibiting spontaneous pain.
In addition to decreasing inflammatory cytokines locally, treatment with LRP1 also decreased inflammatory cytokines in a region called the spinal dorsal horn, where central pain processing occurs.
"TNF-alpha has some positive properties in infection, so you may not want to block its activity entirely," said Campana. "It appears that LRP1 limits, but doesn't completely block, the increase in proinflammatory cytokines produced by glial cells after nerve injury. We think this research opens up a number of new research directions for understanding and treating chronic neuropathic pain."
Additional contributors to this study include Sanja Arandjelovic and Nikola Dragojiovic, UCSD Department of Pathology; Robert R. Myers, UCSD Departments of Pathology and Anesthesiology; and Xiaoqing Li, Julie Janes, George P. Zhou and Jenny Dolkas, UCSD Department of Anesthesiology. The research was supported in part by grants from the National Institutes of Health.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Suada from Cheap stitching! I fell in love with the white in the fitting room. I'm 5'3'', 117 lbs and the XS fit perfectly. I bought it for an AC trip to match with snakeskin heels. Before my night out to the club I put it on and zipped it up, and my fiancé pointed out a hole in the back, right under the zipper. I ended up wearing jeans. I don't know if I bought the skirt this way and didn't realize it since the one I had tried on in the fitting room had a stain so the employee gave me another skirt in my size to buy, or if it ripped when I had zippered it. All I know is that this skirt is obviously cheaply made and not worth the $50. Will return!

Rated 2 out of 5 by realgirl from would be nice, but.. White is totally see-through. The xxs is still too wide on the hips. I think the material is way too flimsy for light colors. Maybe the black one would work, but I already have several minis in black...

Online test gives you a read on your own expected life span
Live long and prosper, dear readers. That Vulcan greeting from Star Trek has always been one of my favorites. You're basically telling a person that you would like them to live a long time and be rich too, though I suspect the Vulcan definition of "prosper" to be a bit more enlightened than that.
But how long will you live? Everyone wants long life, right? Why else would we eat fiber, exercise on treadmills and refrain from all the fun stuff in life? At least now we can have an idea of how long we are supposed to live, from a genetic standpoint anyway. A recent study by the Boston University Schools of Public Health and Medicine and the Boston Medical Center have located the genes responsible for long life by examining people who have lived for a very long time, that is, those who get to be 100 years old or more. They're still putting all the data together, but they say that doctors will soon be able to tell with 77 percent certainty whether or not you will live to be 100 years old, or fall by the wayside long before that.
They caution that environmental factors still have a lot to do with life expectancy, as does luck. Someone genetically predisposed to make it to 100could get squished by a bus just as easily as someone with genes that should only carry them to 50 or so. And if you're intent on killing yourself with cigarettes or a high-fat diet, well, there is only so much your base genetic programming can do about that.
While we wait for our doctors to give us the "how long will you live blood test," I thought it might be fun to see if we could find out for ourselves. I did a lot of research and found a very fun online quiz from the University of Pennsylvania that seems to get pretty close, based on medical history, family history, your environment and habits. When you finish, it shows you how long you should live and what factors contribute to that. Some of them make a lot of sense, while a few struck me as odd.
For example, while I did pretty well with a life expectancy of 83.54 years, there are a few things I can do to expand that. Not driving could increase my life by a paltry .03 years, so I think I'll keep my car for now. Eliminating job stress could add another .19 years, but I want to express to my bosses that I really love my job and would gladly sacrifice about three months of my life for it. (Wonder if that's worth a raise?) Getting rid of all sexual partners for me might add .34 years of life, but I think I'll leave that one alone too. Sleeping more is the biggest thing I could try, adding over two years to my life if I can get a good seven hours in each night. Then again, I wonder if it's worth it, given that most of that time would be spent sleeping.
If you like, let me know in the comments section how you do and compare it to my 83.54 years. That way I'll know if I should invite you to my octogenarian party or not. Oddly enough, drinking more alcohol could apparently help me live an extra half a year. Now that's what I call a health plan we can all believe in. Sláinte!

I had 82.27. My father died from pancreatic cancer, first one in the family to have cancer and he never smoked, nor did his parents plus he had a heathy diet. I guess living to 86 which goes beyond the national average of 77 would be considered a plus.
Life Expectancy: 82.23
According to your quiz, I should already be dead! But I'm not dead yet. I feel fine really. Stop hitting me with that club!
I got 92.5. That could be a good estimate since my great-grandmother lived to 100 and my grandfather to 98, both while eating a high-fat diet. Yeah for the gene pool!
I only got 72 years! But apparently if I drink more alcohol, I can up that total, so I'm going to have a party and invite all my friends -- Jim Bean, Jack Daniels, Hiram Walker, The Christian Brothers and good ole' Lord Calvert. It may not extend my life, but it should preserve me!

BEIJING (AP) — A Marxist theoretician has been removed as head of an important, but obscure Communist Party research institute over a sex scandal as China's new leadership moves to end the latest, embarrassing revelation of high-level sleaze.
The removal of Yi Junqing as director of the Central Compilation and Translation Bureau in Beijing, which was announced Thursday, has been anticipated for weeks since the appearance online of a salacious account supposedly written by a female post-doctoral fellow at the bureau who was a former lover of Yi.
The 210-page document — which was a brief Internet sensation before it was scrubbed off the web — chronicled the illicit relationship between Yi and Chang Yan, from December 2011 to November 2012.
Chang said she bribed Yi with 60,000 yuan ($9,700) and slept with him to get her fellowship turned into a permanent position only to discover he was not going to help and that he had other lovers.
Chang later said the writing was fictional, but Chinese netizens believed it was real. Yang Jinhai, the bureau's general secretary who appeared in Chang's narration in his real-life role, confirmed Chang's stint at the bureau and said the author had correctly recorded the time and place of academic meetings but that her interpretation of events was subjective.
The official Xinhua News Agency reported Thursday that Yi was fired for "lifestyle issues" — often a euphemism for corruption and mistresses. Contacted by phone Friday, Yang said that Yi's removal was related to the online account.
"Yes, his removal should be related to it," said Yang.
Yang said Chang has returned to Linfen, Shanxi province, for rest, where she was a teacher at a local university. Yang said Yi remains at the bureau though his new assignment is unclear. Neither Yi nor Chang could be reached for comment.
Yi's fate comes after party leader Xi Jinping came to power in November vowing to stamp out corruption and warning that the problem — if unaddressed — could destroy the party.
The scandal is reflective of how deeply embedded corruption is in the corridors of power, even in stuffy think-tanks, and of the hypocrisy of professed communists.
"Corruption has the ability to spread and infect when it's unchecked," said He Zengke, an expert on corruption, who happens to work for the same bureau. He declined to talk about Yi's case directly, saying he was speaking only in general terms.
The field of Marxism studies has become a business with competition for government funding, he said. "Some people want to seek their own interest in the name of research," He said.
"It shows the prevalence of corruption," said Li Manchun, a professor who studies corruption at Central South University in Changsha city. "The Central Compilation and Translation Bureau is deeply trusted and considered reliable by our party."
Directly under the party's central leadership, the center is tasked with providing Marxist theoretical support for party policies. Yi was a delegate to the 18th party congress, which anointed Xi and other leaders in November, and he had served as the public champion of the party's theoretical righteousness.
"We are particularly aware of and confident in greater theoretical innovation of Marxism pushed by the Chinese Community Party," Yi said days before the congress last fall, as reported by state media. "Such theoretical innovation is not scattered but carries the cultural wisdom of a great civilization with comprehensive grasp of advanced Marxist theories."
Now, the case is fueling public indignation.
"The inner belief of Yi Junqing has long been rotten in his bones," said an editorial published Friday in the state-run Qianjiang Evening newspaper. "He looks knowledgeable and sounds Marxist-Leninist, but once dissected, all people can see is thieving and whoring."
In her lengthy report, Chang detailed the 17 sexual trysts with time, hotel and even room number. It also is full of details such as their birthdays, cell phone numbers they used to contact each other, major meetings at the bureau and their discussions of Chinese politics, including the dramatic fall of politician Bo Xilai.

County attorney to review probe into death of Danville teen at chief's home
By JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
Chief gets support in Danville following charge
BRENTWOOD - The Rockingham County Attorney's Office plans to review a State Police probe into the death of a teenager inside the home of Danville Police Chief Wade Parsons.
"As soon as the reports are finished, we will review them on an expedited basis and make appropriate charging decisions," County Attorney Jim Reams said in a statement. "It is my hope that this can all be accomplished within a week of the receipt of the reports."
State police have released few details into the death of the 15-year-old boy. Authorities responded to the chief's Danville home on the night of March 11 after a shooting was reported.
State police Lt. Chris Vetter has said Parsons wasn't home at the time and that it's believed the boy was alone. Police have said only that they're investigating an "untimely death."
The medical examiner's office has declined to release the cause and manner of death, citing privacy concerns for the family.
On Wednesday, Vetter said the state police investigation into the incident was nearly complete and that the case will be forwarded to the Rockingham County Attorney's Office as soon as it's finished.
"I can say that the state police are looking into all pertinent facts regarding what occurred and how it occurred that evening. As for now, there really isn't anything additional to release," Vetter said.

After updating the configuration file, restart the Minio server to put the changes into effect. The server will print a line like
SQS ARNs: arn:minio:sqs::1:elasticsearch

Note that, you can add as many Elasticsearch server endpoint configurations as needed by providing an identifier (like "1" in the example above) for the Elasticsearch instance and an object of per-server configuration parameters.
We will now enable bucket event notifications on a bucket named

Here we see that the document ID is the bucket and object name. In case

When the namespace format is used, Minio synchronizes objects in the bucket with entries in a hash. For each entry, the key is formatted as "bucketName/objectName" for an object that exists in the bucket, and the value is the JSON-encoded event data about the operation that created/replaced the object in Minio. When objects are updated or deleted, the corresponding entry int he hash is updated or deleted respectively.
When the

However, let's return to the entrance to the embassy compound: in the middle of the door there is a small hole ( il buco della serratura ) strategically placed to tempt us to peep through it. It's much like the two holes found in the rough wooden door of Duchamp 's installation Étant donnés , which promises a forbidden world to anyone daring enough to bring their eyes (which are also, in a way, two holes) close enough to them. But, when you squint through this Roman buco , what you actually see is the dome of Saint Peter 's perfectly framed between cypresses. Beholding it like this, almost clandestinely, libidinizes it and makes it something bordering on indecency.
Duchamp, Étant donnés, 1946-1966. (Philadelphia Museum of Art)
This is connected with an issue I find important: the place or format in which we carry out the reading of any image, a point that we could add to the two weighty considerations you listed in your first letter—to whit, who reads the image and what to say about it. The context in which we read a photograph—be this in a museum room, on a phone app or on a billboard on the street—shapes our attitude towards it. We're aware of the almost auratic value acquired by photography exhibited in museums and galleries, meaning they're viewed with almost ceremonial veneration. Here again, I'd refer to Duchamp and his ironic statement on the exhibiting of his works: Exposer ressemble trop à épouser , in other words, that exhibiting comes dangerously close to marrying the viewers. Something very similar happens with photographs printed in artistic publications, whose pages give off that whiff of ink which, in and of itself, boosts the status of these images and the reverence with which we observe them .The context in which we read a photograph—be this in a museum room, on a phone app or on a billboard on the street—shapes our attitude towards it. photographs printed in artistic publications, whose pages give off that whiff of ink which, in and of itself, boosts the status of these images and the reverence with which we observe them "There's a reason why no one stops to contemplate a writer or photographer working: our creative processes are not visually appealing, unlike those of painters or cartoonists"
On another note, there's an aspect to looking that I'd like to mention, even though I'll not be able to benefit from your perspicacious comments on it: could it be that, for you, as for me, it comes as a relief that the process of taking a photo no is of little or no interest to the non-professional observer? When, in post-war Sarajevo, I saw a photographer about to take a portrait of a broken man in a city neighbourhood, I found it more than a little troubling, and that's why (amongst other reasons) I'm interested in the close relationship between photography and writing, as neither of them is a 'performance' worthy of viewing whilst being 'performed'. There's a reason why no one stops to contemplate a writer or photographer working: our creative processes are not visually appealing, unlike those of painters or sketchers. I'll admit that one exception to this may be the childlike emotions of those of us who had an old Polaroid camera knocking about the house, when we saw an image emerging from that white square, that suddenly violet-hued miracle that usually, when scrutinised, caused in us a secret disappointment, one that we would never dare even to hint at. Because the quality of miracles should never be called into question.
They're essential to my creative output
It depends on what's distracting me at the time

Something that makes me feel good
The enemy of art is the absence of limitations

Never show fools unfinished work

This reference manual describes the Python programming language. It is not intended as a tutorial.
While I am trying to be as precise as possible, I chose to use English rather than formal specifications for everything except syntax and lexical analysis. This should make the document more understandable to the average reader, but will leave room for ambiguities. Consequently, if you were coming from Mars and tried to re-implement Python from this document alone, you might have to guess things and in fact you would probably end up implementing quite a different language. On the other hand, if you are using Python and wonder what the precise rules about a particular area of the language are, you should definitely be able to find them here. If you would like to see a more formal definition of the language, maybe you could volunteer your time — or invent a cloning machine :-).
It is dangerous to add too many implementation details to a language reference document — the implementation may change, and other implementations of the same language may work differently. On the other hand, CPython is the one Python implementation in widespread use (although alternate implementations continue to gain support), and its particular quirks are sometimes worth being mentioned, especially where the implementation imposes additional limitations. Therefore, you'll find short "implementation notes" sprinkled throughout the text.
Every Python implementation comes with a number of built-in and standard modules. These are documented in The Python Standard Library . A few built-in modules are mentioned when they interact in a significant way with the language definition.
Though there is one Python implementation which is by far the most popular, there are some alternate implementations which are of particular interest to different audiences.
Known implementations include:
Each of these implementations varies in some way from the language as documented in this manual, or introduces specific information beyond what's covered in the standard Python documentation. Please refer to the implementation-specific documentation to determine what else you need to know about the specific implementation you're using.
The descriptions of lexical analysis and syntax use a modified BNF grammar notation. This uses the following style of definition:
The first line says that a is an followed by a sequence of zero or more s and underscores. An in turn is any of the single characters through . (This rule is actually adhered to for the names defined in lexical and grammar rules in this document.)
Each rule begins with a name (which is the name defined by the rule) and . A vertical bar () is used to separate alternatives; it is the least binding operator in this notation. A star () means zero or more repetitions of the preceding item; likewise, a plus () means one or more repetitions, and a phrase enclosed in square brackets () means zero or one occurrences (in other words, the enclosed phrase is optional). The and operators bind as tightly as possible; parentheses are used for grouping. Literal strings are enclosed in quotes. White space is only meaningful to separate tokens. Rules are normally contained on a single line; rules with many alternatives may be formatted alternatively with each line after the first beginning with a vertical bar.
In lexical definitions (as the example above), two more conventions are used: Two literal characters separated by three dots mean a choice of any single character in the given (inclusive) range of ASCII characters. A phrase between angular brackets () gives an informal description of the symbol defined; e.g., this could be used to describe the notion of 'control character' if needed.
Even though the notation used is almost the same, there is a big difference between the meaning of lexical and syntactic definitions: a lexical definition operates on the individual characters of the input source, while a syntax definition operates on the stream of tokens generated by the lexical analysis. All uses of BNF in the next chapter ("Lexical Analysis") are lexical definitions; uses in subsequent chapters are syntactic definitions.

Andy Reid takes the mic at 5 p.m. Monday for the official start of Eagles training camp.
I'll be headed up to Lehigh tomorrow afternoon to add to philly.com's Eagles coverage. But first, here's a touchdown's worth of thoughts/predictions/guesses about what we're going to see over the next three weeks:
1. I think the veterans who are in camp battles will hold on to their starting jobs. Specifically, I'm talking about Nick Cole at center and Hank Baskett at the fourth wide receiver position. Every year at camp, readers ask which players "look good." It's an easier question to answer for wide receivers, tight ends, quarterbacks and cornerbacks. It's a much more difficult question to answer for linemen. That bring us to Cole. Other than an injury or poor work habits, I can't really see what would cause the Eagles' staff to sit Cole in favor of one of his backups. I feel pretty confident saying he'll be the starting center Week 1 against the Packers.
I'm less confident with Baskett, but I still think he holds on to the job. I thought Riley Cooper looked good at OTAs, but I wouldn't say he looked better than Baskett, who had some impressive moments. Baskett will have a better grasp of the offense and be the guy the Eagles trust to be on the field - at least early in the season.
2. I think right cornerback is one position where we'll be able to tell quite a bit about how the guys are performing. Even if Ellis Hobbs wins the job at camp, I don't think it will be his all season. The question is: Who can take it from him? That's one of the things I'm most looking forward to keeping an eye on.
3. I think that when the national reporters stop by, most will write similarly-themed articles about the 2010 Eagles. They will focus around the changing of the guard at quarterback and Kevin Kolb's first year as a starter. I think the national guys who have had limited contact with Kolb in the past will come away impressed, and by the time the season starts, it will be difficult to find a national reporter or TV peronality who predicts that Kolb is not up for the challenge.
4. I think it's probably more important for Nate Allen to be at camp on time than Brandon Graham. Allen is being counted on to start at safety, and he didn't get all the reps there at OTAs until after Marlin Jackson went down. The learning process is probably more important to Allen than any other Eagles defensive player over the next three weeks. I was impressed with Allen at OTAs, but it's critical for him to be on the field from the start at Lehigh.
5. One of the players I most want to see in pads is Ernie Sims. The Eagles' new weak-side linebacker looked quick to the ball in shorts, but how will he perform when the Eagles' offensive linemen are looking to take him to the ground?
6. Last year, during the first week of camp, the attention was on Sheldon Brown. Would he show up on time? Would he speak to the media? Would he be a distraction? This year, reporters will gather around two guys: DeSean Jackson and Michael Vick. Vick will be peppered with questions about the shooting. And Jackson will be asked about his contract. I don't expect Vick to say anything noteworthy or go into details - instead, he'll just talk about how excited he is for football. As for Jackson, I don't think he'll make a fuss publicly about his contract and will look like the best player on either side of the ball at Lehigh for the second year in a row.
7. Other random questions I have for this team: How is Todd Herremans' foot holding up? Can Cornelius Ingram contribute? What kind of leap can second-year guys LeSean McCoy and Jeremy Maclin make? Where in his recovery is Stewart Bradley? What did Sean McDermott learn in his first year as defensive coordinator? What will Andy Reid do differently with no Donovan McNabb? Macho Harris, Joselio Hanson, Trevard Lindley - can anyone step up?
Should be a fun time. We'll have blog posts, stories, columns, videos, chats and more starting Monday. As always, if there's anything specific you're looking for out of our coverage, feel free to let me know.

How do I load my model in a standalone Java application ?
Assuming you have the standard example grammar MyDsl.xtext the Java code to load a corresponding top-level Model object from a resource (here with URI platform:/resource/org.xtext.example.mydsl/src/example.mydsl) should look something like this:
new org.eclipse.emf.mwe.utils.StandaloneSetup().setPlatformUri("../"); Injector injector = new MyDslStandaloneSetup().createInjectorAndDoEMFRegistration(); XtextResourceSet resourceSet = injector.getInstance(XtextResourceSet.class); resourceSet.addLoadOption(XtextResource.OPTION_RESOLVE_ALL, Boolean.TRUE); Resource resource = resourceSet.getResource(URI.createURI("platform:/resource/org.xtext.example.mydsl/src/example.mydsl"), true); Model model = (Model) resource.getContents().get(0);
Note that the argument in the first line is the path to your workspace root and is only required if you use platform:/resource URIs (as in the example) to reference your model files. I.e. if you for instance use file: URIs instead this line is not required.
You can also load a model from a String or an InputStream, yet you still need a resource. As the resource's URI you can any legal dummy URI (here we use dummy:/example.mydsl), just make sure it has the correct file extension, as that is required to look up your DSL's EMF ResourceFactory. Building on the previous example you just need to replace the last two lines with the following:
Resource resource = resourceSet.createResource(URI.createURI("dummy:/example.mydsl")); InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream("type foo type bar".getBytes()); resource.load(in, resourceSet.getLoadOptions()); Model model = (Model) resource.getContents().get(0);
Potential parse errors are available as
How can I load my model in the EMF reflective model editor ?
Simply select your model and click the context action Open With > Sample Reflective Ecore Model Editor. This works because Xtext generates and registers a standard EMF resource factory for your DSL (see also previous question) and thus complies with the EMF resource API.
Workflow / Generator
Why do I get warnings like "warning(200): InternalFoo.g:42:3: Decision can match ..." when running the generator ?
Here's an example of the full error message:
warning(200): InternalFoo.g:42:3: Decision can match input such as "FOO" using multiple alternatives: 1, 2 As a result, alternative(s) 2 were disabled for that input
These warnings are generated by the ANTLR code generator. Based on the rules in your grammar the ANTLR generated parser cannot disambiguate what rules to apply for a given input. You should try to refactor your grammar (see example) or you can enable backtracking for your parser (see next question).
OK, but I didn't get these warnings in oAW Xtext !
Unlike in oAW Xtext the ANTLR grammar generated by TMF Xtext doesn't have backtracking enabled by default. To enable backtracking you have to add a nested element
<options backtrack="true"/> to the ANTLR generator fragments in your Xtext project's MWE workflow. So replace:
<!-- Antlr Generator fragment --> <fragment class="org.eclipse.xtext.generator.AntlrDelegatingFragment"/>
<!-- Antlr Generator fragment --> <fragment class="de.itemis.xtext.antlr.XtextAntlrGeneratorFragment"> <options backtrack="true"/> </fragment>
Further down in the workflow you will find another use of the
AntlrDelegatingFragment fragment (used for content assist) you have to replace with:
<fragment class="de.itemis.xtext.antlr.XtextAntlrUiGeneratorFragment"> <options backtrack="true"/> </fragment>
Note that you can in both cases also specify
memoize="true" as an additional option.
Why are generated packages from an imported grammar A duplicated in dependent grammar B ?
In addition to the import statement in B.xtext you must also configure your GenerateB.mwe workflow to let it know about the corresponding GenModels of grammar A. You do this by setting the genModels attribute of the EcoreGeneratorFragment:
<fragment class="org.eclipse.xtext.generator.ecore.EcoreGeneratorFragment" genModels="platform:/resource/my.b.project/src-gen/my/b/B.genmodel"/>
How can I control the Xtext meta model inference ?
The typical use case is to let Xtext automatically infer a meta model corresponding to the Xtext grammar. Quite often this meta model is exactly what you want. If you on the other hand want to make some small changes to the inferred meta model (e.g. set attribute default values, add operations, features, or enumeration literals, etc.) you must implement a post processor. Please refer to the relevant documentation and the following example for more details.
The following example shows how to add an enumeration literal (here NULL) to an enumeration (here VisibilityModifier) and sets it as the default value for all attributes of that type.
import ecore; process(xtext::GeneratedMetamodel this) : ePackage.process() ; process(EPackage this) : eClassifiers.process() ; process(EClassifier this) : null ; process(EClass this) : eStructuralFeatures.process() ; process(EEnum this) : if name == 'VisibilityModifier' then eLiterals.add(newLiteral('null', 'NULL', eLiterals.size)) ; create EEnumLiteral newLiteral(String literal, String name, int value) : setLiteral(literal) -> setName(name) -> setValue(value) ; process(EStructuralFeature this) : null ; process(EAttribute this) : if eAttributeType.name == 'VisibilityModifier' then setDefaultValueLiteral('NULL') ;

NORTH BERWICK, Maine — Wednesday's Class A wrestling meet between Noble High School and Scarborough went pretty much the way Noble coach Kip DeVoll expected it to go, which was a 75-6 victory for the Knights.
DeVoll wishes he could say the same thing about last season.
A promising 2011-12 campaign went sour late in the year when the Knights lost some key wrestlers to academics and other issues. Noble finished a disappointing seventh at the state meet, a shocking fall below the standard that has produced 11 Class A state titles since 1999.
"The kids understand what happened last year," DeVoll said. "They're pretty determined to not let it happen again. Grades is what really hurt. We had some other issues, too, but the biggest thing was the grades that hurt us at the end of the season. It is what it is, but those are the things we should have prepared for better as coaches and kept a better eye on it. You start getting good and start not paying attention to little details, that before got you there. We were definitely guilty of that. It comes back on me."
DeVoll added, "We made a commitment this year. We talked to the kids right after it happened last year and over the summer. We really harped on them about staying up on their grades, more than what we usually do. I feel a lot better than I did at the end of last year."
The renewed commitment seems to be working.
"So far they seemed to have showed that they've learned their lesson," DeVoll said. "Our seniors are good leaders. They're strong kids. They set a good example for everybody else. They're teaching the freshman how we do things the old way here. It's hard work that pays off in the long run."
Noble had little trouble with a young and rebuilding Scarborough team. The Knights won five matches by forfeit and another seven by pinfall. The only match to go the distance was Noble's win by James Hogg at 132 pounds, a 14-7 decision over John Stolz.
The Red Storm averted the shutout with a win by its best wrestler, Bryan Profit, at 160 — a pin of Noble's John Hamme at 1:18.
"It's going to be like this for a while," said second-year Scarborough coach Shane Stephenson. "All I'm looking for is the kids to go out there and work their butts off. That's all they can do. My philosophy is anyone can be beat on any given day, so work your butt off."
Noble's winners by pinfall included Bill Gagner at 113 (50 seconds), Ethan Trott at 120 (23 seconds), Jesse McNally at 138 (18 seconds), Otto Kreisker at 145 (1:00), Joe Grenier at 152 (3:36), John Badger at 170 (1:00) and Jake Guimond at 182 (48 seconds).
"We did what we should have done," DeVoll said. "It's exactly how the meet should have went. We're getting into that gruel of having to get after things. We still got some work to do. We have a lot of freshman and sophomores wrestling for us now."
"We just went out there, did our best, attacked and went after it," Gagner said. "I mean that's really our goal from now on, just get after it and do our best."
Guimond and Gagner were honored before the meet for picking up their 100th career wins. The two turned the trick last month at the Noble Invitational. Guimond did it on the first day (Dec. 28) and Gagner reached the milestone during the second day in the semifinals on Dec. 29.
"We're using (last year) as a little boost," Guimond said. "Looking back we won state titles my freshman and sophomore years. We want another one. We're going to try and do our best, work hard in practice and try and get right back up there."
Noble wrestles at a tournament in Merrimack, N.H., this weekend.

Judge Janet L. Stauffer swore in the newest group of Columbia Gorge CASA volunteers (Court Appointed Special Advocates) on Nov. 7.
The new advocates are Mary Anghilante, Jessica Hodges and Tim Orth, of The Dalles, and Pam Dutton, Sheila Gallagher and Melissa Hayes, of Hood River.
The join a cadre of trained child advocates who serve our neglected and abused children in Hood River, Wasco and Sherman counties.
CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to advocate for abused and neglected children, to make sure they aren't forgotten in the overburdened legal and social service system or languish in inappropriate group or foster homes.
Since children involved in juvenile dependency court generally do not appear before the judge in person, CASA volunteers are often referred to as "the presence of the absent: the voice of the child" and due to changing legal representation the need for advocates who speak solely for a child's best interests is more important than ever. An agency alone cannot keep a child safe — it takes a community.
A few key benefits of CASA advocacy include:
n Children with a CASA are half as likely to spend time in long-term foster care;
n Nationally, fewer than 10 percent of children with a CASA re-enter the foster care system; and
n CASA volunteers spend most of their volunteer time in contact with a child; to a child that means the continuity of at least one caring adult presence in his or her life.
Columbia Gorge CASA is able to advocate for half of our communities' children in need, but the other half is still waiting — for you. All volunteers receive 30 hours of pre-service training using the National CASA Volunteer Training Curriculum, as well as 12 hours of in-service training per year.
New advocate training sessions will begin in January 2014.
For more information about the CASA program contact Susan Baldwin, advocate manager, at 541-386-3468 or 541-490-3063.
