Prime minister Tony Abbott has labelled the previous government's school reforms "pie-in-the-sky", saying Australia can't afford a back-down on Gonski funding.
Mr Abbott has been greeted by around 100 pro-Gonski protesters on his arrival for a media conference in Hobart on Thursday.
The protest came a day after David Gonski broke his silence on the system he helped design under the former Labor government.
He accused the current government of abandoning needs-based funding after the federal budget dumped $30 billion in funding proposed for schools in 2018 and 2019.
"I'm certainly not committing to a permanent massive increase at the same level of the former government because it's those sorts of pie-in-the-sky promises that got us into the problem in the first place," Mr Abbott told reporters.
But the prime minister said schools funding was not being cut and would continue to increase over the next four years.
"We are continuing to increase funding, it's just that we are not continuing to increase it at the rate of the former government's promises," he said.
Protesters from the Australian Education Union demanded the full six-year allocation for the Gonski reforms, chanting: "What do we want? Six years."
Mr Abbott said funding would increase "dramatically" for three years and at a slower rate in year four.
"I respect the sincerity of the people out the front, they obviously want the best for their kids and for their community's schools," he said.
"We all want the best but getting better schools is not just about money."
Mr Gonski said the coalition's decision to increase commonwealth funding to schools by the rate of inflation from 2018 would be to Australia's detriment.
"I sincerely hope that in the period between now and 2017 the federal government will change the presently budgeted position," he said.
Earlier, junior minister Steve Ciobo claimed the money Labor had offered was never really available.
"The out years (from 2018) ... was nothing more than an aspiration and in fact would never have been funded by the Labor party because they did not have the money," Mr Ciobo told ABC radio on Thursday.
"We hope by tightening the budget now we will be in a position where we can perhaps provide additional support to health and to education."
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten gave the Abbott government "an F for effort and an F for outcome".
"What a lazy, reckless, indifferent mob of swindlers this government are when they say we're not going to have anything more to do with the funding of schools," he told reporters in Melbourne.

Her life is a rags-to-rhinestones story which began on January 19, 1946 and remains as vibrant and relevant as ever. Born the fourth child of 12, to mother, Avie Lee and father, Robert Lee, Dolly grew up in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee. Music runs deep in the Parton family and while many played important parts in Dolly's success, she credits Uncle Bill Owens for helping her get started in the music business.
From taking the stage of "The Cas Walker Farm and Home Hour" in Knoxville, TN, to landing a spot on "The Porter Wagoner Show," Dolly's talent and ambition soon catapulted her to super-stardom.
Today, her songs have captured the hearts of generations. Her electric smile has brightened the lives of millions. Her trademark style is recognized across the globe.
You're invited to read, watch, and listen as the journey of Dolly Parton unfolds.
Dollywood theme park is known for its world-class entertainment, amazing thrill rides, and family friendly adventure. Now celebrating its 30th anniversary, Dolly's award winning theme park continues to wow guests from around the world.
Dollywood's DreamMore Resort and Spa, located beside Dollywood and Dollywood's Splash Country, is the culmination of a personal dream of Dolly's which she originally shared with Barbara Walters before opening her theme park.
Being raised in a cabin in the Smokies inspired Dolly to open Dollywood's Smoky Mountain Cabins. It's just something about staying in a beautiful rustic cabin that makes the time spent with family that much more special.
Nearly 15 years after opening Dollywood, Dolly and team opened Dollywood's Splash Country. Next door to Dollywood, Dollywood's Splash Country is an award winning water park featuring a variety of water attractions.

In 2011, Dolly transformed her Dixie Stampede in Myrtle Beach, SC into Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show. The pirate themed adventure boasts life-size pirates ships, amazing acrobatic competitions, live animals and more!
Dolly Parton is one of an elite group of individuals to receive at least one nomination from all four major annual American entertainment award organizations; Emmy, GRAMMY, Oscar, and Tony.
Her songs have captured the hearts of generations.
Inspired by her father's inability to read or write, Dolly created her Imagination Library, a book gifting program designed to foster a love of reading in children. The program which began in Sevier County Tennessee has now mailed more than 78 million free books to children.

I've talked several times in the past about Extended Validation SSL certificates and how they are a great step forward in establishing verified identity for websites. It is therefore with great pleasure that I am writing today about the official ratification of the EV Guidelines v1.0 by the Certification Authority/Browser (CA/B) Forum. You can read their announcement at http://cabforum.org.
Internet Explorer 7 has supported EV SSL Certificates since February 2007, based on the then current draft 11 guidelines. At the time only incorporated businesses and government entities were able to get an EV Certificate, which was a cause of concern for some. Version 1 of the guidelines (which are effective immediately) incorporates the experience from the past five months into the guidelines and expands the process so that now unincorporated businesses (such as sole proprietorships or general partnerships) can also get an EV certificate. Given the benefits that EV SSL brings with the verified identity information it offers to the users, there's no good reason today for using a traditional SSL certificate instead of an EV certificate. (EV certificates work like traditional SSL certificates on older browsers).
IE7 users can already see the verified identity information (contained in the EV certificate and displayed in the address bar) on over 1,000 live sites on the internet – and with v1 of the guidelines, we expect the EV sites to keep growing even faster. But this is not just an IE story. Other browser vendors have committed to implementing EV support in upcoming versions, so their users can enjoy the same added protection that IE7 offers today.
And while EV is not a panacea, it is definitely a significant step forward and shows how the industry can work together to protect users.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A renowned bear researcher known to hand-feed the animals and broadcast the birth of cubs over the Internet lost his Minnesota permit Friday to do his close-up studies.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources informed 74-year-old Lynn Rogers that he wouldn't get a new permit to radio-collar wild bears or videotape them in their dens.
In a letter to Rogers from DNR Commissioner Tom Landwehr, the agency said it had repeatedly warned the researcher, who is based in Ely, Minn., of concerns about public safety because the wild bears were becoming too comfortable approaching humans. Rogers has been licensed to do his technology-assisted research on wild bears since 1999.
Rogers has until July 31 to remove the collars. He still has a game farm permit for an education center where he has domesticated bears.
"Because of these ongoing concerns, it is clear the potential benefit of published research is greatly outweighed by our continuing concerns for public safety," Landwehr wrote. He adds that there are documented incidents of "extremely unprofessional behavior with research bears" by Rogers.
Rogers said he considers the allegations "unfounded" and fears the action imperils his research.
"It's the end of my career, a 46-year career," Rogers told The Associated Press, adding: "It's a kill-the-messenger type of thing they're doing."
He disputes that he's jeopardizing humans with his methods. Rogers said getting close to bears, as he has, is essential to studying the biology of interactions between bears and humans. Without radio collars, Rogers said he doesn't think he will be able to adequately track the same bears in a way that allows him to build up trust.
Rogers' work gained a following far outside Minnesota after he began placing cameras to monitor bears and beamed their feeds to the Internet. Thousands of people watched live as one bear, Lily, gave birth to a cub named Hope, and a corresponding Facebook page drew more than 100,000 likes.
DNR officials said 50 wild bears are under Rogers' supervision, with about a dozen collared at any time.
"These bears are putting their noses in cars. They're going onto peoples' porches. They're coming into their backyards," said Lou Cornicelli, the DNR's wildlife research manager. "A conservation officer had to kill a bear that went into a garage and wouldn't leave."
The DNR also questioned whether Rogers has produced adequate peer-reviewed published research from the bear studies, which Rogers also disputed.
Cornicelli said the decision is not open to appeal, and Rogers said he didn't know if there was any legal recourse. So he plans to reluctantly comply.
"If you try to continue when they pull your permit, you just get arrested," Rogers said.

Resume: This paper expands entry mode literature by referring to multiple modes exerted in different value chain activities within and across host markets, rather than to a single entry mode at the host market level. Scale of operations and knowledge intensity are argued to affect firms' entry mode diversity across value chain activities and host markets. Analyzing a sample of Israeli based firms we show that larger firms exhibit a higher degree of entry mode diversity both across value chain activities and across host markets. Higher levels of knowledge intensity are also associated with more diversity in firms' entry modes across both dimensions. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7445

I guess on the emerging technology beat, you can't ever sleep. Returning from a week's vacation, I find that a small company called WobbleWorks has found a way to put a 3D printer into a pen, allowing users to literally draw physical objects in the air.
It sounds like science fiction, but the inventors have demonstrated sketching in 3D with their creation, even making a scale model of the Eiffel Tower.
Now, we all know that government is embracing 3D printing in a big way, with the military using it in Afghanistan and even the president giving the technology a shout-out during the recent State of the Union Address. The WobbleWorks pen, called the 3Doodler, works on the same principal as traditional 3D printers, only it relies on the user to build the finished product instead of layering material based on a computer-aided design drawing.
Users simply load the pen up with plastic strands to use as "ink," and the machine melts them down into liquid as needed. The liquid cools almost instantly the second it leaves the pen, so that 3D structures can be built up by simply drawling them that way. It almost appears to defy gravity, but it's simply the tough structure and lightweight properties of the ABS plastic building on top of itself, just like what happens inside a traditional 3D printer.
The project is in its early stages at this point, so nobody has thought too much about specific government uses, though the guys at WobbleWorks do mention that the pen would be a good tool for quick repairs even without the creative angle, which could make it useful in the field.
For modeling, the 3Doodler won't be as accurate as a standard 3D printer since there is no template, though the company is making a bunch of stencils. And there is no reason why hobbyists or even government agencies couldn't do the same. It would be a lot faster than using a normal 3D printer, since a drawing could go from the idea to reality right away, whereas a 3D printer can take hours or days to create an object, not even counting the planning phases.
Of course the usefulness of anything created with the pen would depend on the skill of the artist/engineer, though anyone could probably sketch out a wrench, screwdriver or other basic tool. Making something more precise, like a gear, would likely require a pretty high level of skill.
This is probably one of those things where lots of people will think of creative and useful things to do with the technology once it starts getting into the hands of users. At $75 per pen, there's no cost barrier. It could become the "killer app" that lets 3D printing technology go mainstream. And we can be pretty sure that the 3Doodler will be manufactured. A Kickstarter program founded by the company was asking for $30,000 to make the first manufacturing run of the new 3D printer pen.
As of this writing, with 27 days left to go, the company has raised almost $2 million. So it's a safe bet we'll all be able to start defying gravity pretty soon.

Please send me one it's so cool
While this is a cool thing, you are one of the problems in America! You have already visited China. Really? Why not visit a factory in your own back yard and produce them here...you know...employee Americans? Give a boost to the economy?...Help with the unemployment rate? It might be something I would be interested in if it had "Made in the United States of America" on the label!

One resignation was from Laurie Thomas, high school and middle school vocal music teacher, whose resignation took effect on Aug. 8. This has left the administration with just two weeks to find a replacement to start when school begins on Aug. 24.
Superintendent Kerri Nelson said she immediately advertised on a web site for a replacement for this position, knowing it would be very difficult to fill at this late date.
One application so far has been received. This application was from a board member's wife. South Tama's policy 202.5 prohibits hiring a board member's spouse. However, the applicant has been an employee of the South Tama system in another position.
Also, Policy 203.14 states a policy can be waived on a one-time basis if the board approves. Nelson asked the board members to think of the policy rules and waiver and be ready to vote on whether to waive the 202.5 policy or not at the Aug. 15 regular board meeting. (See agenda on this page under News Round-Up.)
Nelson said she would not conduct an interview with the applicant until after the vote and possibly she will have other applicants by that time. Nelson also said she wasn't sure if this would be hiring an applicant whose spouse was on the board, or expanding an existing employee position.
Nelson had conferred with the school's attorney to get the legal definition and reported she found there was nothing illegal in handling the situation as explained.
If the waiver is voted for, this would be a one -time deal. It would not apply to any other application situations that may come forth in the future.
Contracts approved were for Nicole Mathews as middle school special education teacher, effective Aug. 17, at an annual salary of $38,551; Stan Zeutenhorst, bus driver, at a rate of $37.75 per route, two times per day; and Laura Martin, high school media aide e at $9.16 per hour, eight hours daily.

Philippine senator charged with plunder surrenders
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A Philippine senator who is the son of an ex-president surrendered to police Monday after a court ordered his arrest on corruption charges. Jinggoy Estrada was the second celebrity politician in days to end up in jail on charges of plundering the poor Southeast Asian nation's coffers.
The high-profile prosecutions bolster President Benigno Aquino III's campaign promise to fight the corruption that has plagued the nation of 97 million for decades. The problem has festered amid a culture of impunity among powerful politicians and their allies, weak law enforcement and a notoriously slow justice system.
But it remains to be seen whether the arrests would lead to convictions, which have been rare in major cases.
Estrada is one of three senators indicted this month on charges of receiving huge kickbacks from government development and anti-poverty funds. He arrived at police headquarters accompanied by his family and supporters after the Sandiganbayan special anti-graft court issued a warrant for his arrest.
Trailed by a mob of journalists, photographers and TV cameramen, Estrada first went to the house of his father, former president and now Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada. His young daughter wiped away tears, hugging her father as they left their upscale suburban Quezon City home.
Estrada denied any wrongdoing and expressed confidence that he would be acquitted.
"This is the last day of my freedom," he told reporters before surrendering. "I will fight for this case to my last breath."
Estrada, a former movie actor, was charged with plunder along with his father in 2001, but was released on bail after two years in detention and acquitted in 2007. His father, a hugely popular action movie actor, was convicted of plunder but was pardoned and won last year's mayoral election in the Philippine capital. The senior Estrada was president from 1998 to 2001.
Sen. Estrada has been accused of receiving 183 million pesos ($4.2 million) in kickbacks in an alleged scam involving the diversion of millions of dollars from anti-poverty and development funds allotted to lawmakers for their pet projects.
"The issuance of this warrant is a step forward in finding out the truth, which is fundamental in strengthening the trust of our people in our institutions and processes," presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said.
Since Aquino was elected in 2010 on a reformist pledge, his predecessor, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, has been detained on vote-rigging charges and the Supreme Court chief justice impeached for the first time for not disclosing $2.4 million in his bank accounts.
Another lawmaker, Sen. Ramon Revilla Jr., surrendered Friday after the anti-graft court issued an arrest warrant. He is accused of receiving 224 million pesos ($5.1 million) in kickbacks.
A third senator, Juan Ponce Enrile, has also been charged with economic plunder for allegedly receiving 172 million pesos ($3.94 million) in kickbacks, but an arrest warrant has not been issued yet for the 90-year-old former senate president.
Enrile, a wealthy businessman, was defense minister when dictator Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law in the Philippines in 1972. He was implicated in several coup attempts against Aquino's mother, the late President Corazon Aquino.

I've always like the timeless styling and grand touring sensibilities of the first generation XK8/XKR and thanks to Jaguar's notorious depreciation, they finally came into my price range. I searched for months to find one I wanted (prefer an XKR but accept an XK8, it had to be black or british racing green, had to have cashmere leather, had to be in great shape, ideally a coupe but I'd take a convertible) I drove about 250 miles to finally drive one...that turned out to be a dud. I had all but given up hope and expanded my search even farther...when this one popped up about 30 miles from my house. The information posted on the internet was incorrect and there were no pictures, but I had to take a look. Once I saw her, I knew she was the one.

Not many of us will ever get to the fabulous Cannes Film Festival currently taking place in the glamorous French resort town. But there is a way to enjoy the Cannes experience vicariously via the films that have used the international festival as a backdrop for narrative features, TV movies and documentaries.
One example is "Seduced & Abandoned," Alec Baldwin and James Toback's documentary chronicling their attempts to raise financing for a project at the 2012 extravaganza. The duo has have returned to the French Riviera this year to screen the film, which has been acquired by HBO.
Definitely worth checking out is indie filmmaker Henry Jaglom's "Festival in Cannes," a well-received 2001 satire of the machinations of filmmakers and the art of the deal at Cannes at the 1999 festival. The stellar cast includes Anouk Aimee, Oscar-winner Maximilian Schell, Greta Scacchi, Zack Norman, Ron Silver and Peter Bogdanovich. Faye Dunaway, Jeff Goldblum, Holly Hunter and William Shatner appear in cameos.
CHEAT SHEET: Cannes Film Festival 2013 trailers
Though it's a bit too lightweight, the 2007 comedy of errors "Mr. Bean's Holiday" is a film the entire family can enjoy. Britain's comedy clown Rowan Atkinson's impish man-child Mr. Bean wins a trip to Cannes and France is never the same. Directed by Steve Bendelack, the comedy also stars Willem Dafoe as a vain director. The red carpet sequence was actually shot during a premiere of a Portuguese film at the festival.
Before E! Entertainment gave the world an endless stream of reality shows, the cable network tried its hand at TV movies, including "Murder at the Cannes Film Festival," directed by Harvey Frost. The 2000 murder mystery comedy, which manages a few chuckles, stars French Stewart of "3rd Rock from the Sun" and his then-wife Katharine LaNasa. The film, which was shot on location and also in Vancouver, was executive produced by the late Merv Griffin, who makes a cameo in the film.
Then there's "Cannes Man," directed and cowritten by Richard Martini. This 1996 low-budget independent comedy with "The Player" aspirations was produced during the 1995 festival. Francesco Quinn, Anthony's son, and indie legend Seymour Cassel star in this satire that examines the hype and hyperbole surrounding the festival. Several actors including John Malkovich, Johnny Depp, Treat Williams, Dennis Hopper and Jon Cryer pop up, as well as producer Harvey Weinstein.
Several other films have been shot in and around Cannes, including the 1995 comedy "French Kiss," 1988's "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels," 1998's "Ronin," 1955's "To Catch a Thief" and 1973's "The Day of the Jackal."

Valentine's Day: 'Alone Forever' comic finds humor in heartbreak
The cover for "Alone Forever" by Liz Prince. (Top Shelf Productions)Link
If you find yourself among the lovelorn this Valentine's Day, Liz Prince's graphic novel "Alone Forever: The Singles Collection" might prove a perfect remedy.
"Alone Forever," out this month from Top Shelf Productions, collects 104 pages of Prince's autobiographical comic strip — a self-deprecating look at relationships, love and the lack thereof. The Boston-based comics creator chronicles her experiences with online dating, awkward first encounters and (questionably) flirty interactions with bearded strangers, not to mention tender moments with her constant true loves — her cats and her punk rock music.
Prince, whose previous titles include the Ignatz Award-winning "Will You Still Love Me If I Wet The Bed?" and "Delayed Replays," will be in the Los Angeles area on Sunday for L.A. Zine Fest at Helms Bakery in Culver City.
Hero Complex: How did this project come about? I understand it was a webcomic before it was a book? Did you make any changes for print?
Liz Prince: I have made a career out of drawing comics about relationships, so drawing comics about the lack of a relationship seemed like a logical leap. I was posting "Alone Forever" comics on my website for three years, and had made two self-published versions, before it became a book for Top Shelf. The great thing about posting comics online is that you can abandon a strict format and draw a comic in whatever style you see fit; long, short, color, black and white, it all fits on a computer screen. But turning those comics into a format that fit into a book was a little difficult. I had to trim some comics to make them fit on the printed page, but I also added several new strips, including a comic-essay about all of the OK Cupid dates I've ever gone on.
HC: A lot of your work is autobiographical. Does writing and drawing about your life affect the way you live it? And how does drawing what you live color the lens through which you view your experiences?
LP: I've been drawing autobio comics since I was in early high school, so if it does affect the way I live my life, or change the way I view my experiences, it's become such an ingrained part of my existence that I don't notice anymore! That being said, I can tell instantly if something that happens to me will become a comic, because I will see it played out in panels. A lot of my memories take that form now, actually; if it wasn't a comic to begin with, once it gets in my head it is!
HC: Why did you decide to depict your love life? Your experiences with meeting people and dating and online dating are so relatable.
LP: Mostly because those stories are so relatable. Autobiography, and especially autobiography that tackles the never-ending issues of human relationships, are my favorites to read, so they are my favorite to draw as well. It was startling at first, when my book "Will You Still Love Me If I Wet the Bed?" (a comic about my first serious relationship) came out, so many people were writing to me saying that my relationship was exactly like theirs. Many asked if I had cameras in their bedrooms. That was when I realized that even things that are so intensely personal, like having armpits that smell like celery, can connect you with someone else.
HC: The self-deprecating humor throughout the book is tempered by a healthy dose of self-respect. For example, I love the comic with the Ramones button conversation starter. Is that a difficult balance to maintain?
LP: I think the key to being a successful autobio cartoonist is to never take yourself too seriously. I know there are some genuinely sad comics in "Alone Forever," but the other side of the coin is when you get to tell a potential suitor to kick rocks, because who doesn't love the Ramones?! I mean, C'MON.
HC: What do you like best: Cats, punk rock or boys with beards?
LP: You can't make me choose! I routinely spend my days with all three: my cats, Wolfman and Dracula, will hang out while my bearded boyfriend and I listen to punk records.
HC: Is there a particular page or story you're most proud of?
LP: It's hard to choose just one, since they are all my babies, but I still get a chuckle out of the comic about eating a lot of garlic and scaring away potential vampire suitors, because it features my (not-so) secret love of "Twilight" with an appearance by Count Chocula, who I've also been a very vocal advocate of. Count Chocula for President, 2016.
HC: Anything else you'd like to add?
LP: I will be at L.A. Zine Fest on Sunday, Feb. 16, so please come out and say hello, and check out "Alone Forever: The Singles Collection" in person.

Hmm, I'm afraid there aren't any substitutes for Mitsouko (or any other scent that is one's signature) but you might like to try Rochas Femme or YSL Y (fruity Chypres) or YSL Opium or Chanel Coco (Orientals but with a mellow gold "glow" that reminds me of Mitsouko).
I have developed an allergy for one scent: Salvador Dalí. Loved it but after a couple of years couldn't wear it because of the rash it gave me. [smiley=cry.gif]

It's going to explode even worse if I have to grab a "packaged" and loose one of these. So I guess I need to know some more details on the figures that'll eventually be included, and whether they're really going to be exclusive to this particular set.
EDIT: Nevermind. You mean will the figures in the Early Bird set wind up on cards as well, I think. Yeah, that's the big question. I'd assume so though.

Here's what I saw during today's 24-23 49ers victory over the Eagles:
+ This was not just the linebackers or the safeties. Alex Smith picked the Eagles apart, completing 21 of 33 passes for 291 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. That equates to a QB rating of 112.1. Smith came into the game averaging 6.8 yards per attempt, but he averaged 8.8 yards per attempt today.
+ The Eagles allowed a whopping seven plays of 25 yards or more - five through the air and two on the ground. Frank Gore's longest run entering the game was 16 yards, but he had carries of 40 and 25 today. In two weeks, the Eagles have allowed seven plays of 25 yards or more. They have been outscored 36-0 in the past three games.
+ Brian Rolle made some nice plays in his first start. He forced a fumble on the 49ers' first possession, but the call was overturned because Smith's pass was ruled incomplete. He made a nice play in coverage on Michael Crabtree on a third down on the 49ers' first possession. He stayed on the field with Jamar Chaney in nickel and also stuffed Gore for no gain in the second. But late, Rolle was called for a face-mask penalty on the 49ers' game-winning drive.
+ Speaking of that drive, San Francisco went 77 yards on eight plays before Gore's touchdown run.
+ Nate Allen got beat badly by Vernon Davis on a 26-yard completion in the first quarter.
+ Jason Babin had three sacks. He now has seven on the season. Two of the three came on four-man rushes.
+ The Eagles have 14 sacks on the season. Twelve have come without blitzing.
+ On the Josh Morgan touchdown, the Eagles sent seven defenders at Smith, including Nnamdi Asomugha, Jarrad Page and Jamar Chaney. Smith had a QB rating of 143.1 vs. the blitz coming into today. The Eagles, meanwhile, have allowed three passing touchdowns on blitzes the past two weeks.
+ Asomugha got burned for a 38-yard completion to Crabtree in the third quarter. He's now been beat for a completion of at least 25 yards in three or four games. And that's not counting his 41-yard pass interference penalty against the Rams
+ The scene with 2:06 left in the game told the story. Jeremy Maclin had his hands on his hips after losing a fumble, and Jason Peters was being helped off the field after suffering an injury. A third straight loss was only minutes away.
+ Michael Vick had not attempted a pass of 25 yards or more (from the line of scrimmage) in the previous two games, but that changed today. He threw bomb after bomb to DeSean Jackson. His first two attempts were undethrown. Jackson had a shot at each, but couldn't make a play. They connected on the third try though for a 45-yard completion. Vick later hit Jackson for gains of 29 and 61.
+ Vick finished 30-for-46 for 416 yards (a career high), two touchdowns and an interception. Jackson, meanwhile, had six catches for 171 yards. Vick was the Eagles' leading rusher with eight carries for 75 yards.
+ The Eagles called 54 pass plays and 12 run plays. LeSean McCoy had nine carries for 18 yards.
+ Vick hit on some other big plays too. He found Clay Harbor for a 27-yard pickup and Maclin for a 19-yard gain. He also had a run of 24 yards.
+ Vick somehow got away from two 49ers defenders and found Harbor in the corner of the end zone for a 16-yard touchdown in the first half. The 49ers only rushed four on the play, but Ahmad Brooks beat Todd Herremans with an inside move. Vick successfully ducked to escape. It reminded me of last week when he tried the same thing, and Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul nailed him in the head.
+ In the second quarter, Ronnie Brown got a goal-line carry. He was stuffed, and for some reason tried to throw the ball with his left hand. It was ruled a fumble, and the Eagles turned it over in the red zone for the third straight game.
+ The Eagles broke out the shovel pass as Vick hit McCoy for a 5-yard touchdown in the second.
+ King Dunlap may have found his calling. The Eagles' tallest player blocked a David Akers field-goal attempt in the third quarter. Colt Anderson recovered.
+ Alex Henery went 3-for-5 on field goals, missing a 39-yarder and a 33-yarder.

There were 666 reported cases of elder abuse reported in the greater Brockton area in the past seven months, but the actual number could be far higher, according to experts
BROCKTON – There were 666 reported cases of elder abuse reported in the greater Brockton area in the past seven months, but the actual number could be far higher, according to experts who say that for every reported case of abuse there are five that go unreported.
In Brockton, there were 166 reported cases of elder abuse from July through January. In Stoughton, where police are investigating a horrific case of elder abuse, there were 37.
Those figures, compiled by Old Colony Elder Services, which serves Plymouth County communities, show the magnitude of a problem that isn't on the radar for much of the public.
"We're trying to get awareness out there to get people to understand what is reportable,' said Terri Kourtz, director of protective services for Old Colony, who urged people to report abuse if they see it or think it might be happening.
She said that she and many others sport purple ribbon pins to keep the focus on that mission. It's difficult for seniors suffering abuse to come forward because they're often dependent on their abuser financially or to meet their basic needs.
Nationally, there are 2.1 million reported cases of elder abuse each year, according to the federal government's Administration on Aging.
At the same time, as baby boomers age, the 2010 U.S. census recorded the greatest proportion of people age 65 and older in its history, and those 85 and older are the fastest-growing segment of the population.
Elder abuse can be physical, sexual or emotional, or neglect or financial exploitation. Ninety percent of the time the abuser is either a family member or spouse, said Kourtz.
Often, seniors don't want to acknowledge the abuse or report it, said Mary Graf, director of elder services for the West Bridgewater Council on Aging.
"If it's their son, if it's financial abuse, if it's their daughter, if it's verbal abuse, they are not going to turn them in," Graf said.
Old Colony Elder Services and the Brockton Council on Aging are planning a march in Brockton in June to promote awareness about elder abuse.
Janice Fitzgerald, director of the Brockton Council on Aging, is among directors who are mandated to report elder abuse when they hear about it and, she said, she has reported her share of cases.
"Recently I had an anonymous call from someone who suspected their neighbor was in an unsafe, possible abusive situation, so I took the information and reported it," Fitzgerald said. "I've had people speak to me in regards to a family member who has been taking money. I've reported that."
Fitzgerald said she's also tried to talk with seniors whom she suspects are being abused.
"I've tried to initiate a conversation and it's usually not a productive one. They're fearful," Fitzgerald said.
The elderly are often scared to report abuse for fear of retribution or because it might result in being placed in a nursing home. There's also a stigma that speaking out will make them a burden to their family, which can keep them silent in the face of trauma as well, Kourtz said.
"We want the awareness and the reports to come in because we want to help as many people as possible," Kourtz said. "We know that there are many people out there we're not getting calls on."

Considerable recent press has been devoted to plans to establish a world-class marine park in the waters around the three northernmost Mariana Islands - Asuncion, Maug and Uracus. Letters, editorials and opinions have focused on both the benefits of the idea and on the non-profit organization, the Pew Charitable Trusts, which believes such a program would not only benefit the Mariana's marine environment and economy, but would also greatly enhance the reputation of the Mariana Islands as an environmentally friendly tourist destination.
The participation of people in CNMI in this very public discussion has been useful and healthy and will hopefully continue.
Worldwide, the oceans and their marvelous ecosystems are in trouble from global warming, pollution, overfishing and a host of other problems. But there are some places, like the Mariana Islands, where people still have a chance to preserve their cultural heritage and leave a wonderful environmental legacy for their children, while at the same time creating jobs and revenue that can improve the local standard of living.
Any new idea, however, is bound to stir interest and questions. So what of the Pew Charitable Trusts itself?
Pew, through its environmental arm, the Pew Environment Group, has launched a global effort to improve scientific understanding of the oceans, prevent the continued decline of fisheries to the benefit both fish and fishermen, and promote the preservation of particularly spectacular locations that have yet to suffer the devastating impacts of much of the world's marine environment.
Our efforts to encourage the establishment of a marine park in the Marianas are very much in keeping with our work around the world. Pew is an independent, non-profit organization governed by the same set of U.S. laws that apply to other charitable or non-profit groups, such as the Red Cross. We operate completely independent of government and business, although we try and work with both whenever possible. Moreover, as a non-profit, we make no money from our charitable work.
Pew has been a leader in advancing policies that improve lives, in Philadelphia where it is based, and throughout the world. Indeed, we are one of the most well-known, independent, non-profit organizations in the United States, running programs relating to education, culture, public health, the arts and the environment, among others. Our polling and information work is considered to be amongst the highest quality and most influential of its kind in the world.
For two decades the Pew Environment Group has been a major force in promoting sound conservation policies in the United States and, in recent years, internationally. The Environment Group is staffed by respected senior scientists, attorneys and policy specialists, all of whom have had significant prior experience in nonprofit advocacy, government and the private sector.
The Pew Environment Group focuses on reducing the scope and severity of three major global environmental problems: dramatic changes to the Earth's climate caused by the increasing concentration of global warming pollution in the atmosphere; erosion of large wilderness ecosystems that contain many of the world's rapidly vanishing plants and animals; and damage to the world's marine environment.
What led us to our work in the Mariana Islands was a number of factors. First, the environment in the waters around the northernmost islands has been little impacted by fishing or other extractive activities and is relatively healthy, containing some of the world's most unique geological features and ecology. Second, there is virtually no fishing in this area because it is so remote, and has never had the concentration of high-value fish that would make it a productive commercial fishing area. Third, it contains a portion of the world's deepest marine canyon and a host of native species, plants and other marine organisms that make it ecologically unique. And fourth, establishment of a marine park would actually benefit CNMI's economy through increased tourism and government support, in addition to generating jobs and revenue.
In the Mariana Islands, as in other areas of world where we are encouraging the establishment of marine reserves, we work with governments and the public to analyze the potential environmental and economic benefits of protecting these remarkable places.
The area being proposed for protection in CNMI is a spectacular complex of coral reefs, undersea volcanoes and deep ocean waters along a portion of the famed Mariana Trench. We believe this area will best serve CNMI both economically and culturally if it is conserved for education and research, for tourism and for future generations. We have sought to collect and disseminate information on the significance of this area and to bring this information to the attention of federal and local officials, as well as to better inform the people of the Mariana Islands about the area's natural values.
As part of our assessment of what a marine monument might mean to CNMI, three months ago we asked a respected economist at the University of Guam, Dr. Tom Iverson, to study the potential costs and benefits of such a designation. Dr. Iverson calculated that a marine monument would produce up to 400 new jobs and annually generate $10 million in new spending and $14 million in sales. He identified a number of potential benefits that would be created from a monument, many of which are related to the visitor industry and tourism marketing.
The establishment of parks or wildlife reserves, either on land or in the sea, is often a controversial process. There are always some individuals who do not believe that special natural areas should be protected from activities such as industrial fishing, mining, logging, and that these areas offer more value to people if their resources can be extracted for commercial gain. History, however, has generally proven this to not be true. The great parks of the world, places like Yellowstone or Yosemite in the western United States, or the spectacular game parks of Africa, provide far more benefit to people as parks than they ever would have if left unprotected. Protecting the waters around the three northernmost islands as a marine park will create much greater economic value for CMNI than commercial fishing or other extractive activities are every likely to produce. And at the same time, one of the world's most spectacular oceans areas will be protected for the culture and the people of the Marianas and their children and grandchildren as well as for the rest of the world.
Quite simply, we have approached the Mariana Islands as part of our overall mission to protect and conserve natural resources. In doing so, we seek to create a healthier and more sustainable environment for both people and nature. Our goal for the CNMI is to be a constructive advocate for an environmental opportunity that will not only benefit the local and global marine environment, but also the people who live here.
The decision on whether or not to designate a monument can only be made by government. If a marine monument is established, Pew will have no role in its management, and receive no compensation or benefit other than the satisfaction of knowing that a portion of the world's marine heritage is protected for future generations, while at the same time bringing certain economic benefits to local people.
Designation of an internationally recognized national-park-of-the-sea in the waters around the three northernmost islands of the Marianas will protect a portion of one of the world's premier marine ecosystems. It also will focus favorable global attention on the Mariana Islands, promote local tourism-including ecotourism-and establish CNMI's reputation as a global leader in marine conservation. As one of 15 protected areas within the U.S. National Marine Sanctuary Program, CNMI also would be able to take advantage of federal dollars devoted to public education and conservation. We believe this is one of those fortunate circumstances where conservation and economic development can work together for the benefit of both.
We encourage you to investigate this opportunity for yourself and look closely at its cultural and economic benefits. We look forward to continuing to work with the business community, your elected leaders and the public on this proposal.

PAWTUCKET, R.I. (AP) — Hasbro's fourth-quarter net income edged down, a disappointing holiday season hurt by one-time charges and weak sales of its Beyblade spinning top game and Marvel toys.
But the company also boosted its dividend, and its shares rose 5 percent in Monday midday trading.
Investors were also reassured that the weakness was concentrated in the boys area, a unit that is sure to turn around when new movies come out, said Needham & Co. analyst Sean McGowan. A new "Spider-Man" movie is due out in May, a new "Transformers" movie in June and a "Star Wars" movie in 2015.
Pawtucket, R.I.-based Hasbro said Monday that sales of toys in the boys' category dropped 16 percent in the quarter. Preschool sales dipped 1 percent. There was strength in the girls' category, which saw a 19 percent sales increase. Sales of games climbed 2 percent.
The November and December holiday season are key for toy makers, because they can make 40 percent or more of their annual revenue then. But sales of traditional toys have been pressured as children turn more to electronic gadgets like tablets and smartphones.
The company said it had strong growth in its girls brands including My Little Pony and Nerf Rebelle. But boy's toys like Beyblade were weaker.
Last month rival Mattel Inc.'s fourth-quarter results missed analysts' estimates as sales of toys like Barbie and Fisher-Price preschool items dropped.
For the three months that ended Dec. 29, Hasbro earned $129.8 million, or 98 cents per share. That compares with $130.3 million, or 99 cents per share, a year ago.
Excluding restructuring charges, pension costs and product-related charges, as well as a benefit related to a legal settlement, earnings were $1.12 per share. Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected earnings of $1.21 per share.
Revenue for the Pawtucket, R.I., company was basically flat at $1.28 billion. Analysts expected $1.3 billion.
Hasbro said its full-year net income fell 15 percent to $286.2 million, or $2.17 per share, from $336 million, or $2.55 per share, in the previous year. Adjusted earnings were $2.83 per share.
Annual revenue dipped to $4.08 billion from $4.09 billion.
Hasbro also announced Monday that it is raising its quarterly dividend by 8 percent to 43 cents per share from 40 cents. The dividend will be paid May 15 to shareholders of record May 1.
The company's stock rose $2.62, or 5.2 percent, to $52.71 in midday trading. It had fallen 9 percent so far this year.

Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell, "Old Yellow Moon" (Nonesuch)
"Old Yellow Moon" is a reunion album of sorts that explores musical paths Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell first traveled on their initial recordings in the mid-1970s. Harris began recording Crowell compositions in 1975, the same year she hired him to join her band. They remain linked as leaders of a groundbreaking era in country music that resonates today in the work of Miranda Lambert, Buddy Miller and others.
Then as now, Harris and Crowell excelled at bringing a fresh perspective to covers of classic country tunes, while pushing the genre toward a new sound built on driving rhythms, crisp musicianship and a wide range of well-chosen songs.
"Old Yellow Moon" also reunites Harris with Brian Ahern, her ex-husband who produced her classic early work. While the album doesn't have the stunning originality of the duo's early collaborations, it agreeably recalls why their early work together is so highly regarded.

A catholic highschool in Cambridge Ontario. Very high pregnancy rate, usually everyone walks around the drug pit blazed out of their mind. Teenagers jack off in class frequently to one of the few attractive teachers. You can watch bullying from the math club to the football team, very entertaining altogether. Police checks are weekly, make sure not to miss them!

SBS is a school of which the students cause so much drama it is stupid. People lying, backstabbing, flirting/makeing out with people they don't like, and ignoring the ones they do. This school has its fair share of retards, but also has some decent people. /Most/ of the are cool and you don't know it till it's too late.
Saint Benedict might suck like heck now, but after you leave, you'll be wanting it back. You don't know what you've got until it's gone.

St. Benedict school is a small Catholic school in the fan, where the kids that aren't mean are just stupid or slutty. Of course, the moronic sixth graders leave a skankiness gap from the elementary to middle school, going will-nilly when someone kisses someone else (on the cheek). Boys and girls alike share the same stupidity and ignorance, laughing when someone says "poop" and flirting with a tall red-haired white boy with an afro. When they aren't making out with him, they go for a more "slow", short blonde boy with creapy contacts and an "irresistable" habit of rolling up his sleeves and strutting around the playground. You may meet a few nice teachers there, but most are just liberals or decimal-loving communists, who never cease to bash Bush and the Crusades. The school would be better if kids would stop making out on the playground. And an assortment of angry, bitter people. Plus, Lucas is also gay.
Anonymous sixth grader: "There's a rumor going around that you and Adam are going out."
Lucas: "Yes!"
Lucas: "Yes!"

HACKENSACK, N.J. (AP) — A sister of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects has appeared in a New Jersey courtroom on marijuana possession and distribution charges.
Bella Tsarnaeva's (tsahr-NEYE'-eh-vuhz) criminal record likely will be cleared.
The Record newspaper reports that Bergen County prosecutors have said they'll admit her into a pretrial intervention program. But the case was adjourned Monday while lawyers continue to work out a plea deal for her boyfriend.
Police responding to a domestic violence call in December searched the couple's Fairview home after officers said they smelled marijuana.
Tsarnaeva's brother Dzhokhar (joh-HAHR') is charged with carrying out the April 15 attacks in Boston with his older brother, who died in a police shootout.
The sister has never been implicated in the Boston attacks.

Nov. 26 (UPI) -- An Oklahoma City woman who got an extra special delivery from a UPS driver in the back of a company truck posted a racy photo detailing the sexual encounter online.
The picture, which was posted on the personal website of a happiness consultant who goes by the name of Mary Ann, features a bare-chested woman in a UPS shirt alongside the caption, "Look at my naughty time from yesterday."
Brian Bates, founder of JohnTV.com, which is dedicated to exposing prostitution in OKC, got his hands on the picture and wrote about it on his website.
"What really shocked me is that a driver would put himself in this position, no pun intended, and then allow the pictures to be posted publicly," Bates said. "He really had nothing to gain and he has everything to lose and not at the time of year you want to be losing your job."
The picture has since been removed from the website.
According to Bates, a follow-up post on Mary Ann's website described sex with the driver in graphic detail. "She was touting much more explicit photos of this encounter on a version of her web site that is locked away and it's only for members," Bates said.
UPS spokesperson Susan Rosenberg is trying to track down the driver who was in the photos so that he can immediately be terminated.
"It disrespects UPS drivers and customers. This is not behavior we would ever condone for anyone, let alone for our company. We want to assure other drivers and our customers that this will be fully investigated," Rosenberg said.

im hoping for a third installment of when naruto is a jonin and him actually matured doing insane missions and although it might not happen i would like to see hinata alot more often than once every 15 episodes. she is my favorite girl character sakura would have full episodes of her whining bout holding everybody back and hinata is the opposite she doesnt whine she trains herself to be better. maybe have a bond between naruto and hinata actually develope. yes i am pro naruto + hinata and i want to see hinata shine for all her hard work. she started to show how amazing she is in the fight with pain especially considering how massively outmatched she was. oh well im just wishfull thinking ^,^''
lets be friends =)
I doubt it'll end 'soon'. Maybe in a 75ish episodes or something. Madara, Kabuto, Sasuke and company probably still have a long time before they're finished with.
Let's hope they don't bring in new villians unless they start a new series, like the jump from Naruto to Naruto Shippuuden. If they do, it'll probably be about Naruto becoming a Jonin or Hokage and perhaps his own team of new ninjas.
Also, everyone is forgetting about Zetsu.
the manga looks very close to finishing so yes :/ Naruto kills Madara, kills sasuke, becomes hokage and makes friends with kyuubi... What more can you do
naruto shippuden is going to end but naruto akkipuden is comeing
Never Forget, I miss you all and love you all so much. Thank you
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
the war is apporaching the end the 5 kages are getting pwned by Madara, Tobi is fighting Naruto, Kakashi, Gai, and Bee, and Kabuto is fighting Itachi and Sasuke so we have 3 different fronts, sadly I wager a guess that at least to of the Kages are going to die before Kabuto is defeated by the Uchiha Bros
will come on as often as possible.
It seems like it is ending. I am unsure if I could stand another 100 episodes of Naruto chasing Sasuke. In the very least that conflict I feel like is going to be resolved very soon, and if it is can the show carry on without its central driving force? Ok, so Naruto is the Hokage or a Super elite ninja presumably in future episodes, but after you defeat Madara and seven other tailed beasts, plus insane Edo Tensei what can you possibly follow that with. The other possibility is that Madara and Sasuke manage to escape again some how, but seriously I love Naruto but it is time for Sasuke to either wise up or get what is coming to him, and personally I hope he gets blown to hell.

you are not using the Spoiler button correctly after typing what you want to say highlight the whole thing before hitting the Spoiler tag
will come on as often as possible.
I think Shippuden has like 3+ years left. There will always be filler arcs to pad things out, plus the ninja war still has a lot to cover. For all the combat, the manga version of this arc is actually packed with speeches about the power of love and friendship that will probably take up half an episode each. It only gets worse once Naruto enters the fray as he does these speeches multiple times in the same fight.

Playing House: 20 Petite Houses to Inspire
Before the adult realities of keeping house set in, children love to play house. They enact the rituals they see their parents engaged in, they exert their otherwise limited power over their own domain and give their imaginations free reign. That's what's so special about play houses - their diminutive size inhibits too much adult oversight.
I sort of had a play house growing up - our garage was an old two-story barn that my sisters and I (and the neighborhood kids) had run of. We had a couch, fold out cots and metal cups and plates from an old picnic set. We didn't so much play "house" as Olympics dormitory - to each their own.
If you are considering a play house for your kids (or, like me, just enjoy fantasizing about one), here are twenty to browse through. They're all DIY to some extent. Some were made by parents wholly from scratch while others were bought second hand and totally spiffed up.

Toys – the new symbols of power
Back in the 1800s, the style of a man's beard was a symbol of his virility, his manhood. How he wore that facial hair all but defined his station in life. Big handlebar mustaches, mutton chops and full beards were used as yardsticks to measure masculinity. A man's ability to grow and groom such plumage often contributed to his success.
The truth is, facial hair was also used to cover weak chins, bad complexions and often, ugly faces. During that lawless period in the 19th century, a beard could change the identity of men being sought by law enforcement for unsavory behavior.
The symbols of manliness evolved over the years. In the 1930s and 1940s, the hat – usually a snap-brim fedora in the winter, and a similar Panama for summer wear – did the trick. During the cold months, the fedora was worn with a stylish overcoat or trench coat on rainy days.
Then Wall Street added to the image by introducing the wingtip shoe as the well-dressed businessman's footwear of choice. Symbols of masculinity in men's fashion changed subtly during modern times.
President Reagan made use of the power tie, and from that came the power lunch. The winners in the mid-day dramas were those wearing the brightest neckwear. How an obnoxious, brightly colored tie became a sign of masculinity escapes me, but that was apparently the case.
Men's fashions have relaxed a little in many areas of commerce, and the formal "business look" is no longer taken as seriously as it once was. However, symbols of power have not lost their importance. I saw the latest trend on a trip to Florida last week.
Computer stations have been installed at every gate in the airports so people can work while waiting for their flights. The stations are usually round. A table with stools attached surrounds a column adorned with anywhere from six to 10 electrical outlets, depending on the number of stools the table can accommodate.
Businessmen and other geeks with computers favor these stations. They plug in and use their "important work" to strut their stuff and establish a high position in the pecking order of passengers.
It's not unlike days of old when a guy with two shiny sixguns and the biggest black hat walked into a bar with a chip on his shoulder daring anyone to knock it off.
The only difference is that the latest and greatest electronic toys the computer industry has to offer have replaced the six-guns. I transferred planes several times on the trip to and from Florida, and the scenarios unfolded the same way every time.
One guy would go to the computer bar, break out his laptop and plug in. Then others would amble up, check out his machine and if they didn't feel threatened, they would also plug in. The first guy would always check out every man that joined him by looking at the guy's computer, not the man.
It was comical.
The look of envy, or "mine is cooler," was so obvious I could barely keep from laughing. When I was in Baltimore, I had to email an assignment, so I joined two men at the computer station at the United terminal. One of them had an off-brand laptop and the other, a 15-inch HP.
As soon as I unveiled my Macbook Pro, the two of them looked at me as if I had pulled up to the curb in a Ferrari and picked up their girlfriends. I'm a writer. The Macbook Pro is a high-end computer that is standard in the industry for this line of work. I wasn't trying to be intimidating, I just wanted to e-mail an assignment.
Then another guy joined us with the latest Dell. He seemed confident enough until another journalist came to the table and broke out his 17-inch Macbook Pro and the two of us started typing with all 10 fingers. That was too much for the others. They quietly folded, one by one, and took their toys elsewhere.
Not only did we have the coolest toys, but we could actually type. That was more than they could handle. I looked at the journalist who had a press pass sticking out of his upper breast pocket, and we smiled and shook our heads.
Whoever has the latest toys wins. Lamentably, that has become the sad reality. It could only happen while living in a system we can't understand.

Allen Lessels' UNH Notebook: The book on Bennett
December 11. 2013 10:24PM
UNIVERSITY of New Hampshire football coach Sean McDonnell got a customized scouting report on Southeastern Louisiana standout junior quarterback Bryan Bennett the other night.
He didn't much like what he heard.
UNH faces the Bennett and his explosive Lions in an FCS tournament quarterfinal match on Saturday at 7 p.m. in Strawberry Stadium in Hammond, La.
Bennett has led Southeastern to its first playoff appearance and an 11-2 record and was the Southland Conference's Player of the Year in his first go-round with the Lions.
He transferred to Southeastern Louisiana after playing the last two seasons as a backup quarterback at Oregon.
Manchester's Chip Kelly, formerly the head coach at Oregon and a UNH assistant and now the Philadelphia Eagles head coach, recruited Bennett to Eugene and coached him there for three years, including the season he sat out as a redshirt.
"I called Chip on Sunday night and said, 'What do you know about this guy?'" McDonnell said. "He said, 'I'd like to give you some good news, but I can't. I'm going to give you some bad news. He's a really good football player.' I said, 'How fast?' We mentioned a couple of guys who were in the program when he was here and I said, 'That fast?' He said, 'Yeah.' "
Bennett played in eight games as a redshirt freshman at Oregon and threw six touchdown passes and in 10 games last season as a sophomore and passed for three and rushed for three.
He played first behind Deron Thomas and then Marcus Mariota.
"He played against 50,000-something people at Oregon so stuff isn't going to bother him," McDonnell said. "He's played against great competition. He left Oregon for one simple reason. He wanted to play and the guy that was at quarterback ahead of him was pretty good."
Now the Wildcats must deal with Bennett and the Lions.
They started the season 1-2 and have won 10 straight games. They beat Southland Conference league-mate Sam Houston State twice at home in their last three games, including 30-29 last week to advance to the quarterfinals.
Bennett completed all six of his passes in an 85-yard drive that started with 1:21 to play and finished with 36 seconds left to seal last week's win.
Sam Houston State was ranked No. 4 in the country when the teams met for the first time this year on Nov. 16 — Southeastern won that one, 34-21 — and lost in the national championship game each of the last two years to North Dakota State.
Bennett, who is 6-foot-3 and 205 pounds, was highly recruited out of Granada Hills, Calif., and Crespi High School.
He's dangerous as a runner and a thrower in a similar fashion and schemes to what Villanova ran with sophomore quarterback John Robertson, McDonnell said.
Bennett was Southeastern's leading rusher with 173 carries for 1,017 yards (5.9 per carry) and scored a team-best 15 touchdowns. He completed 190 of his 308 passes (61.7 percent) for 2,896 and 20 touchdowns. He was intercepted 10 times.
Robertson had a huge rushing day against UNH on Oct. 19 with 256 yards and three touchdowns on 27 carries.
But New Hampshire won the game, 29-28, on a last-minute drive capped by a 4-yard touchdown run by sophomore quarterback Sean Goldrich and a two-point conversion run by Chris Setian.
The NCAA Northeastern Regional men's hockey tournament is coming back to Manchester and the Verizon Wireless Arena. UNH will also again host the NCAA Skiing Championships and the NCAA Women's Frozen Four.
The NCAA on Wednesday announced the sites for more than 500 of its championship events over the next several years.
UNH will host the Northeast Regional at the Verizon for the sixth time n 2015. The men's Regional sites were not awarded beyond 2016.
The Women's Frozen Four will be held at the Whittemore Center in 2016.
UNH was also the host in 2002 and 2005.
