Hoping "elegant package" puts it above the rest?
US smart phone maker Palm has launched the latest iteration of its Treo handset, the Palm Treo Pro, which it describes as "an effortlessly usable smart phone for businesses that want to simplify their IT infrastructures and lower costs".
The device runs the latest version of Microsoft's Windows Mobile OS - 6.1 - which the software giant has claimed makes it easier for IT departments to deploy, manage and secure mobiles.
Ed Colligan, president and CEO of Palm, said in a statement: "Businesses want the control and savings that Windows Mobile affords, in an innovative and elegant package that keeps their users happy."
Palm is also hoping the device appeals to consumers with an organisational bent, "who want to stay on top of their professional and personal lives".
The Treo Pro has a touchscreen, full Qwerty keyboard and comes with a removable battery that Palm says is good for up to five hours of talk time per charge. It also has wi-fi and GPS.
The Pro will be available in the UK in September via O2 and Vodafone. Palm added that unlocked Pros will also be available through the Palm online store - for RRP: £399.

Winning the "Rivalries of the Ages" class (along with the 1966 Chevrolet Corvette 427/425 Roadster), which celebrates competition between carmakers of the era, is the last original Shelby 427 Cobra ever built. Owned by Bruce Canepa of Scotts Valley, Calif., this Shelby 427 Cobra has gone through a full restoration using all of its original factory components and retains all of its original hardware, leather, vinyl, and wiring. The Shelby 427 Cobra was originally designed with a 7-liter, 485 hp Ford "side oiler" engine, but many of the production cars were fitted with Ford's less-expensive 428, intended for road use. This particular example has been driven lightly, with less than 6,100 miles on the odometer. (signatureevents.peninsula.com)

We were in the Detroit airport, ready to board our flight to Rome. My cell phone rang. Figured it must be an emergency, as we headed over the pond.
"Okay, but we're boarding in a few minutes," I said, checking the time on my Smart Phone.
Not our usual call. My mother died ten months before after a long siege with vascular dementia. Dad cared for her until three weeks before her death. He could not longer lift her. She moved to a skilled nursing facility within their retirement complex.
He had never asked my permission or approval for anything. The last time I discussed anything with him was when I informed my parents I was going to graduate school. They weren't delighted. Their affirmation shortly came when I told them I had a job on the alumni magazine.
"Of course," I told him. "You deserve some happiness." I hung up, and we boarded the plane.
Dad had kissed a few female frogs before he found a princess. I didn't think much of it until he found someone special. His princess, four years later, is now a part of our family. They've stayed in their respective apartments in different levels of care. I took my time getting to know her. Now we're friends. I've learned a few things along the way that I want to share.
They often double date with my brother and his significant other. They go to the symphony, new restaurants, and drives in the countryside.
Respect their privacy. You expect privacy in your relationship, give them privacy in theirs. Some issues are none of your business. Period. They aren't seventeen and sneaking someone in through the back window.
Don't shut down the memories of your loved one. My parents were married for 57 years. His friend has her memories and her past. Neither of their histories is going away. Learn to be comfortable talking about your loved ones, but don't forget to ask about her loved ones. I recognize the gift of having parents in a long-term, intact marriage.
When they first had a picture taken together for her church directory, that was difficult for me. Dad did not remove pictures of my mom, much as he has not removed her from his heart. Dad added his new friend to our mix. The addition didn't take away the past.
Appreciate her good qualities. For God's sake, don't compare her to your mother. Again, she's not your mom. She's somebody who bought your brother a hula skirt and made him wear it. I swear, if she had the coconut bra, she would have given him that as well. She gets Dad out of his comfort zone sometimes.
Get over yourself. It isn't your life. As you accept your children's relationships, accept your widowed parent's relationship. Make your judgment and don't let others sway you. Recognize not everyone is going to be happy about his new life. Our human nature is to resist change. Adjusting to the new normal takes time. I had a wonderful mother for 55 years, and her memory did not vanish when she passed. When a family member has dementia, you learn to accept change on its terms.
You have a choice. Sit on your behind and mourn, or move forward.

Press Releases Wheelwash Supplies £1.bn Highways Improvement Scheme

Wheelwash Supplies £1.bn Highways Improvement Scheme
International wheel cleaning equipment manufacturer Wheelwash has been contracted to supply wheel washing equipment for site vehicles on the prestigious A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon Improvement scheme.
In March 2016, the A14 Independent Delivery Team, a joint venture formed by Skanska, Costain, Balfour Beatty and Carillion, was awarded the £1.5bn contract by Highways England to upgrade the existing A14 between Ellington, west of Huntingdon and the Milton junction on the Cambridge Northern Bypass.
The scheme includes a new bypass to the south of Huntingdon, carriageway widening on the existing A14 between Swavesey and Girton and improvements to the Cambridge northern bypass. There will be junction improvements, a widening of the A1 trunk road between Brampton and Alconbury and new local access roads. In addition, the existing A14 between the Ellington and Swavesey junctions is to be de-trunked (for instance, returned to county road status), the viaduct over the East Coast Mainline at Huntingdon will be removed and road connections to the existing A14 from within the town will be modified.
A project of this size and complexity calls for different models of Wheelwash units along the route to ensure safety regulations are met. Prior to being awarded the contract, Wheelwash Ltd conducted a number of site visits to identify the requirements and offer the most appropriate systems.
While the A14 IDT, working on behalf of Highways England, considers safety as its top priority, the project is also dedicated to protecting wildlife and the environment. The IDT's procurement team selected Wheelwash to supply cleaning stations after careful consideration and detailed analysis of the marketplace. Wheelwash offers a complete range of products from dry ramps to spray systems and is a one-stop-shop for all wheel cleaning requirements. The spray systems offer high-performance, low-energy solutions, with recycling of washer water.
Wheelwash and the A14 IDT have collaborated for more than 12 months to ensure the high standards required on-site are met and that key personnel are on hand to serve the installation and maintenance of the units. All Wheelwash engineers have completed the mandatory A14 IDT health, safety and first aid training and stringent induction process which is undertaken by all personnel before they are allowed to work on-site.
Wheelwash has adapted new Wheelwash systems to the hired fleet to meet their requirements, delivering a combination of sale and rental units throughout the project. We maintain continuous customer support, including servicing and offer education in optimising results from Wheelwash systems, as well as complying with the requirements for detailed RAMS and lift plans.
Wheelwash managing director Ian Jolly commented: "We are delighted to be working on the A14 scheme and have worked closely with the IDT to ensure their site requirements are met. We look forward to continuing this relationship and will remain in close collaboration to meet demands as they arise."

VANCOUVER (Reuters) - The government of Alaska said on Wednesday that it had canceled the overhaul of a ferry terminal in British Columbia "for the time being," after the project became a trade dispute with Canada over "Buy America" provisions.
The state, which operates the terminal as part of its Alaska Marine Highway System, said it will maintain operations at the existing facilities at normal standards until the issue can be resolved.
The Canadian government invoked rarely used anti-sanction laws earlier this week in an effort to prevent bidders on the construction project, which is located in Canada, from agreeing to use only U.S.-made iron and steel.
It had wanted Alaska to seek a waiver to the controversial "Buy America" law, designed to protect U.S. companies from foreign competition in transportation infrastructure projects.
"A waiver would have resolved this issue, allowing it to move forward without delay," said Rudy Husny, a spokesman for Canada's International Trade ministry.
Alaska said the project – estimated to cost $10 million to $20 million – was planned with 91 percent of funding coming from the U.S. federal government and 9 percent from the state.

Seeing the world clearly
The Real Unemployment Rate
Posted on May 7, 2021 by Loquitur Veritatem
It's bad. How bad? Here is the newly updated Part VI of "Economic Growth Since World War II".
The real unemployment rate is several percentage points above the nominal rate. Officially, the unemployment rate stood at 6.1 percent as of April 2021. Unofficially — but in reality — the unemployment rate was 13.8 percent.
How can I say that the real unemployment rate was 13.8 percent, even though the official rate was 6.1 percent? Easily. Just follow this trail of definitions, provided by the official purveyor of unemployment statistics, the Bureau of Labor Statistics:
Unemployed persons (Current Population Survey)
Persons aged 16 years and older who had no employment during the reference week, were available for work, except for temporary illness, and had made specific efforts to find employment sometime during the 4-week period ending with the reference week. Persons who were waiting to be recalled to a job from which they had been laid off need not have been looking for work to be classified as unemployed.
The unemployment rate represents the number unemployed as a percent of the labor force.
Labor force (Current Population Survey)
The labor force includes all persons classified as employed or unemployed in accordance with the definitions contained in this glossary.
The labor force as a percent of the civilian noninstitutional population.
Civilian noninstitutional population (Current Population Survey)
Included are persons 16 years of age and older residing in the 50 States and the District of Columbia who are not inmates of institutions (for example, penal and mental facilities, homes for the aged), and who are not on active duty in the Armed Forces.
In short, if you are 16 years of age and older, not confined to an institution or on active duty in the armed forces, but have not recently made specific efforts to find employment, you are not (officially) a member of the labor force. And if you are not (officially) a member of the labor force because you have given up looking for work, you are not (officially) unemployed — according to the BLS. Of course, you are really unemployed, but your unemployment is well disguised by the BLS's contorted definition of unemployment.
What has happened is this: Since the first four months of 2000, when the labor-force participation rate peaked at 67.3 percent, it declined to 62.3 percent in 2015 before rising to 63.4 percent just before the pandemic wreaked havoc on the economy. Then, the participation rate dropped to 60.2 percent before recovering to 61.7 percent in April 2021:
Source: See figure 10.
The decline that began in 2000 came to a halt in 2005, but resumed in late 2008. The economic slowdown in 2001 (which followed the bursting of the dot-com bubble) can account for the decline through 2005, as workers chose to withdraw from the labor force when faced with dimmer employment prospects. But what about the sharper decline that began near the end of Bush's second term?
There we see not only the demoralizing effects of the Great Recession but also the growing allure of incentives to refrain from work, namely, disability payments, extended unemployment benefits, the relaxation of welfare rules, the aggressive distribution of food stamps, and "free" healthcare" for an expanded Medicaid enrollment base and 20-somethings who live in their parents' basements*. That's on the supply side. On the demand side, there are the phony and even negative effects of "stimulus" spending; the chilling effects of regime uncertainty, persisted beyond the official end of the Great Recession; and the expansion of government spending and regulation (e.g., Dodd-Frank), as discussed in Part III.
More recently, COVID caused many workers to withdraw from the labor force out of an abundance of caution or because they couldn't work from home. The recovery has stalled, in large part because of "free" money and extended unemployment benefits. The effects are being felt by employers who are unable to fill job openings, thus refueling a resurgence of inflation.
Another factor, though of less significance, is a decline in the percentage of employed persons who are working full-time. It dropped from 83.3 percent in 2000 — its highest level since 1989 — to 79.9 percent in 2010 before rising jaggedly to 83.5 percent in April 2021. A shift from full-time to part-time work is really a form of disemployment, and ought to be reflected in the unemployment rate.
I constructed the actual unemployment rate by adjusting the nominal rate for (a) the change in the labor-force participation rate and (b) the change in the percentage of workers in full-time status. The disparity between the actual and nominal unemployment rates is evident in this graph:
Derived from SeriesLNS12000000, Seasonally Adjusted Employment Level; SeriesLNS11000000, Seasonally Adjusted Civilian Labor Force Level; Series LNS11300000, Seasonally Adjusted Civilian labor force participation rate; and Series LNS12500000, Employed, Usually Work Full Time. All are available at BLS, Labor Force Statistics from the Current Population Survey.
The bad news — which the stock market has chosen to ignore (as of 05/07/2 1) — is that the real unemployment rate is where it was in the darkest days of the Great Recession.
* Contrary to some speculation, the labor-force participation rate is not declining because older workers are retiring earlier. The participation rate among workers 55 and older rose between 2002 and 2012. The decline is concentrated among workers under the age of 55, and especially workers in the 16-24 age bracket. (See this table at BLS.gov.) Why? My conjecture: The Great Recession caused a shakeout of marginal (low-skill) workers, many of whom simply dropped out of the labor market. And it became easier for them to drop out because, under Obamacare, many of them became eligible for Medicaid and many others enjoy prolonged coverage (until age 26) under their parents' health plans. For more on this point, see Salim Furth's "In the Obama Economy, a Decline in Teen Workers" (The Daily Signal, April 11, 2015), and Stephen Moore's "Why Are So Many Employers Unable to Fill Jobs?" (The Daily Signal, April 6, 2015). On the general issue of declining participation among males aged 25-54, see Timothy Taylor's "Why Are Men Detaching from the Labor Force?", (The Conversible Economist, January 16, 2020), and follow the links therein. See also Scott Winship's "Declining Prime-Age Male Labor Force Participation" (The Bridge, Mercatus Center, September 26, 2017).

On Liberty and Libertarianism
What is liberty? It is peaceful, willing coexistence and its concomitant: beneficially cooperative behavior.
John Stuart Mill opined that "the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others." But who determines whether an act is harmful or harmless? Acts deemed harmless by an individual are not harmless if they subvert the societal bonds of trust and self-restraint upon which liberty itself depends.
Which is not to say that all social regimes are regimes of liberty. Liberty requires voice -- the freedom to dissent -- and exit -- the freedom to choose one's neighbors and associates. Voice and exit depend, in turn, on the rule of law under a minimal state.
Liberty, because it is a social phenomenon and not an innate condition of humanity, must be won and preserved by an unflinching defense of a polity that fosters liberty through its norms, and the swift and certain administration of justice within that polity. The governments in and of the United States have long since ceased to foster liberty, but most Americans are captives in their own land and have no choice but to strive for the restoration of liberty, or something closer to it.
Who can restore liberty? Certainly not the self-proclaimed libertarians who are fixated on Mill's empty harm principle and align with the left on social norms. Traditional (i.e., Burkean) conservatism fosters the preservation and adherence of beneficial norms (e.g., the last six of the Ten Commandments). Thus, by necessity, the only true libertarianism is found in traditional conservatism. I am a traditional conservative, which makes me a libertarian -- a true one.
Notes about Usage
"State" (with a capital "S") refers to one of the United States, and "States" refers to two or more of them. "State" and "States," thus used, are proper nouns because they refer to a unique entity or entities: one or more of the United States, the union of which, under the terms and conditions stated in the Constitution, is the raison d'être for the nation. I reserve the uncapitalized word "state" for a government, or hierarchy of them, which exerts a monopoly of force within its boundaries.
Marriage, in the Western tradition, predates the state and legitimates the union of one man and one woman. As such, it is an institution that is vital to civil society and therefore to the enjoyment of liberty. The recognition of a more-or-less permanent homosexual pairing as a kind of marriage is both ill-advised and illegitimate. Such an arrangement is therefore a "marriage" (in quotation marks) or, more accurately, a homosexual cohabitation contract (HCC).
The words "liberal", "progressive", and their variants are usually enclosed in quotation marks (sneer quotes) because they refer to persons and movements whose statist policies are, in fact, destructive of liberty and progress. I sometimes italicize the words, just to reduce visual clutter.
I have reverted to the British style of punctuating in-line quotations, which I followed 40 years ago when I published a weekly newspaper. The British style is to enclose within quotation marks only (a) the punctuation that appears in quoted text or (b) the title of a work (e.g., a blog post) that is usually placed within quotation marks.
I have reverted because of the confusion and unsightliness caused by the American style. It calls for the placement of periods and commas within quotation marks, even if the periods and commas don't occur in the quoted material or title. Also, if there is a question mark at the end of quoted material, it replaces the comma or period that might otherwise be placed there.
If I had continued to follow American style, I would have ended a sentence in a recent post with this:
… "A New (Cold) Civil War or Secession?" "The Culture War," "Polarization and De-facto Partition," and "Civil War?"
What a hodge-podge. There's no comma between the first two entries, and the sentence ends with an inappropriate question mark. With two titles ending in question marks, there was no way for me to avoid a series in which a comma is lacking. I could have avoided the sentence-ending question mark by recasting the list, but the items are listed chronologically, which is how they should be read.
I solved these problems easily by reverting to the British style:
… "A New (Cold) Civil War or Secession?", "The Culture War", "Polarization and De-facto Partition", and "Civil War?".
This not only eliminates the hodge-podge, but is also more logical and accurate. All items are separated by commas, commas aren't displaced by question marks, and the declarative sentence ends with a period instead of a question mark.

Reached a plateau or simply want to take your workouts to the next level?
You might be training your *ss off already but simply reached a plateau and are not seeing your body develop. Sometimes we all need that extra 'push' to help us sculpt our ideal physiques.
Here's what can help give you the helping hand that you need: A pre-workout supplement.
Intense Muscle Pumps - Your arms and legs will be bulging while you lift weights.
Enhanced Strength - Lift bigger weights than before, for longer.
Improved Endurance - Keep going at peak intensity until your last set in the gym.
More Focus - Feel great mind-muscle-connection, making the most of every rep and set.
But how do you choose the best pre-workout supplement?
Answer: You've come to the right place - our experts have analyzed the best products on the market for you.
Potential for jittery side effects due to containing caffeine.
Free UK & US Shipping when spending $90 or more.
Potential risk of jittery side effects and energy crashes due to containing 274mg Caffeine (equivalent of 3 cups of coffee in 1 serving).
Only recommended to those with a high tolerance to Caffeine.
Shipping costs dependant on vendor.
More motivated to reach my goals - I packed on muscle mass quicker than before, more efficiently.
Stayed fresh for longer through intense exercise - I could train at higher intensities without going to failure for longer than normal.
Muscle pumps felt great and I felt less sore after workouts - I could feel the pump on my arms when bicep curling and wasn't as sore afterward.
I set new PB's on my chest press and squat - SPORT Pre-Workout helped raise my strength to the next level.
No side effects - I wasn't distracted from my gym sessions by any unwanted jitters, crashes or itchy skin.
You can only buy directly from Performance Lab's website: www.PerformanceLab.com - not available in any retail stores.
After trying out many different pre-workout supplements, SPORT Pre-Workout is the best I've tried and reviewed this year.
Made by Performance Lab, SPORT Pre-Workout contains only premium-grade ingredients in scientifically-proven dosages; this is shown by the fact it contains Creapure pH10 (a 99.5% pure creatine monohydrate that's more effective and easier on the stomach than normal creatine monohydrate).
I used to prefer stim-pre-workouts but I got sick of not being able to take them during late-night gym sessions. Also, stimulant pre-workouts started keeping me up at night, which wasn't ideal - so I eventually decided to try non-stim pre-workouts.
Ultimately, finding an effective product has really made a HUGE difference. I am more than happy to recommend SPORT Pre-Workout as our best choice here (and we now believe it being non-stimulant is positive!).
It definitely helps that it's the best value for money product on this list too. At $30 for 30 serving containers, it's a safe and effective pre-workout that keeps things affordable.
Most importantly, it took my training to the next level - I believe it will help you make serious changes to your physique. Used together with Performance Lab's Multivitamin and BCAA (and of course an effective weightlifting & diet plan), I've managed to sculpt a body I'm finally happy with.
*My transformation pictures over 8 weeks while taking SPORT Pre-Workout.
Increased focus - The 'smart caffeine' combo helped increase focus during my gym sessions.
My energy levels were through the roof - I was never tired during my workouts with 4 Gauge, and it helped me get there in the first place!
Skin-splitting pumps in my arms - I felt intense muscle pumps and was able to train for longer too.
Good dosages of ingredients - Citrulline Malate has been dosed very well.
You can only buy 4 Gauge on their website - can't buy from any online retailers or shops.
Only comes in one flavor - Fruit Blast.
Premium price - 4 Gauge is more expensive than SPORT Pre-Workout.
No premium quality ingredients such as Creapure pH10.
If you have a high tolerance to caffeine and want that energy kick before your workouts, then 4 Gauge is a great choice.
It's made by Roar Ambition, a premium supplements company and costs $45 per bottle normally; but we chose to buy the 'ultimate ammo crate' to reduce the price of each bottle to $37.50.
I know what you're thinking - it's expensive compared to others, but we'd rather pay for a premium product that works.
Not only that, it tastes really good. I've tried other nasty tasting pre-workouts before, so this was a nice change. If I had to describe the taste, I'd say it's like fruity sherbet ice cream in powder form.
4 Gauge comes in explosive packaging, but it gives you clean energy boosts, without the jittery feeling - just make sure that you don't consume this alongside coffee or any other caffeinated products to make sure.
Contains key pre-workout ingredients (Creatine, L-Citrulline & Caffeine).
Over-dose of Caffeine likely to cause jitters.
We were impressed by Pre-Kaged's nutrient profile; it clearly showed that Kaged Muscle had done their research while formulating this pre-workout.
As a result, after trying Pre-Kaged, we can confirm that this is much better than many pre-workouts on the market. However, it's the little things which make the difference between a very great product and the best ones.
Ultimately, Kaged Muscle had made small mistakes such as over-dosing the Caffeine (putting you at risk from jitters). But as we've mentioned, it's much more effective than many other pre-workouts on the market and deserves it's place in our Top 3 here.
While we have our favorite products on this list, you won't go wrong by choosing any of these 3. We've spent years trying different products out, and SPORT Pre-Workout, 4 Gauge, and Kaged Muscle are products that delivered on their promises.
Ultimately, SPORT Pre-Workout is our go-to product; this is great as it doesn't contain any stimulants, so we can still take this late at night without being kept awake all night, or on days where we've had many cups of coffee. If we're not going to consume any coffee (or other caffeinated products) during the day, then we'll take some 4 Gauge to mix things up sometimes.
When we get tired of those 2 and want to try something new, then we go for Kaged Muscle, which isn't a bad back-up!
We've shown you our favorite products on the market - and we'll show you exactly why.
Ingredients are the most important features of a pre-workout; simply put, if a supplement's ingredient list is on point, then it'll be a great product. If not, then it's a waste of money - it's really as simply as that.

English students head for Hay
Five A Level English students from Gower College Swansea have been offered the experience of a lifetime – to intern at the upcoming Hay Festival.
Covid update: changes to measures from Monday 9 May
In line with today's announcement from Welsh Government regarding changes to covid restrictions for educational settings, the College will now start to move towards a position where, whilst there is no requirement for most restrictions, they will still be encouraged.
Access student has law career in sight
Brwa Mina, known as Kardo by his classmates and friends, is currently studying Access to Law at Gower College Swansea.
Kardo, who was born in Iraq, came to Wales as an asylum seeker in 2016.
Covid update for the start of term (w/c 25 April)
As we begin what is the most important term of the year for many students, with crucial exams and assessments approaching, we will continue to follow both the guidance from Welsh Government (as of Friday 15 April) and our local Incident Management Team.
Sketty Hall Business School has announced the formation of its Advisory Board – key industry figures who will help shape the future of education and training across South Wales and beyond.
Update on covid measures after Easter
We are continuing to work closely with the local Incident Management Team (IMT) and Public Health Wales to ensure we have the measures in place to keep our students learning and the College community safe. These currently include:
Gower College Swansea is top of class at UK-wide AAC Apprenticeship Awards
Gower College Swansea has been recognised for its outstanding apprenticeship provision at the prestigious UK AAC Apprenticeship Awards 2022.
Gower College Swansea student fast-tracked to Lyon!
Gower College Swansea student, Scott Tavner, has been entered straight into the WorldSkills Lyon squad after his outstanding performance in the WorldSkills UK 2021 National Finals.
Update on student and staff covid testing
As you are aware, the Welsh Government have now lifted most covid-19 restrictions and we are slowly moving back to life pre-pandemic.
However, the advice to both schools and colleges is to continue to operate with the health and safety measures we already have in place. This will help to ensure we can keep everyone learning.
Gower College Swansea celebrates Rainbow Week
Students and staff at Gower College Swansea are taking part in Rainbow Week, an event dedicated to raising awareness of LGBTQ+ issues and celebrating inclusivity and the safe and supportive environment of the College.


In the secluded town of Elsah, IL, the Blackburn Men's Basketball team won their third game in a row. When traveling to Principia College, one can find that they lose cell phone service and find themselves on top of a hill with nothing in site except the Mississippi River. The Beavers simply dominated the Principia Panthers by a score of 83-42. The Beavers were coming off a win against Webster University and found themselves another conference win to start the New Year. When asked about the recent wins for the Beavers and what the wins were contributed to?, Coach Kollar said "We are playing hard on every possession especially at the defense end, we are playing every minute with the same intensity and its working."
Leading the way for the Beavers was Chris Davis, who scored 19 points and also had 6 steals. Also scoring in double figures for the Beavers was DeAndre Manual who had 16 points and Henry Hicks who had 14 points. The Beavers shot 41.5% from the field, 37.5% from 3 point range, and 75.0% from the charity stripe. The Beavers also had 67 rebounds and 20 assists as a team.
Leading the way for the Panthers was Jeff Ross as he scored 13 points. The Panthers shot 22.2% from the field, 15.0% from the 3 point range, and made 11-11 from the free throw line to shoot 100% from the charity stripe. The Panthers also grabbed 33 rebounds and had 9 assists as a team.
The Beavers next game is on Saturday, January 9th at Westminster College with the tip off set for 3:00 pm.

Run with a researcher, discuss the Colorado River or talk beer
Join a conversation on the deep past of the Colorado River or on the future of craft beer on Wednesday, Dec. 7. To get an early jump-start, run or walk with a UO researcher this Saturday, Dec. 3.
The opportunities fall under the umbrella of Quack Chats, a public outreach initiative led by University Communications.
On Saturday, the public is invited to meet up at 9 a.m. at the Erb Memorial Union's "O" desk to get some exercise. Participants may either run at a comfortable pace for 4.5 miles or walk 3.1 miles with a UO researcher.
The tentative lineup of researchers features Beth Miller of the Department of Biology, McKay Sohlberg of the College of Education, Jim Hutchison of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Keith Frazee of the Department of Educational Methodology, Policy, and Leadership, Dev Sinha of the Department of Mathematics, Richard Taylor of the Department of Physics and Samantha Hopkins of the Clark Honors College.
Run with a Researcher is held on the first Saturday of each month.
Two pub talks are set for 6 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 7 — one on campus, the other in Springfield. Arrive early for either event, grab some refreshments and be part of the conversation.
Becky Dorsey, a professor in the UO Department of Earth Sciences, will take the audience 6 million years back to the formation of the iconic Colorado River. Her talk, "Probing the Origins of the Colorado River," will be held in the back meeting room of Falling Sky Pub and Pizzeria in the Erb Memorial Union.
Researchers remain unsure what processes controlled the origins and evolution of the river. Dorsey has studied it for years. Under a National Science Foundation grant, she heads a UO focus on the geologic development of the river's lower reaches.
She will discuss the goals of her group's project, along with some early findings. She'll also speak to how this research fits into the curiosity that has driven her career to date.
If your interests lean more toward beer, head over the river to 418 A St. — to Springfield's Marketplace@Sprout! — for the monthly Ideas on Tap talk sponsored by the UO Museum of Natural and Cultural History. The topic is "Boom or Bubble? The Future of Craft Beer."
Oregon State University economist Patrick Emerson, who also produces a Beervana podcast, will tackle the potential consequences of big-beer buyouts, brewery expansions and venture capitalism on craft beer in the United States.

Summer Soup will offer campus some tasty entertainment
Celebrate 100 unexpected heroes and inspiring trailblazers

Josh stayed home with our son the first 9 months while I went back to work right away. Now I am staying home with our second and it has been SO ENJOYABLE! Yeah, sometimes when Andrew needs a nap and Chloe is puking all over and I take a look at the million pieces of Lego strewn all over the house I break down and cry, but it's temporary.
Yesterday Chloe decided she was going to try as hard as she could to roll over. How amazing to watch a three and a half month old become so determined! Then I noticed that if I tickled her just right on the side of the tummy she would laugh hysterically. Amazing!
I always said I would never turn into one of those parents that thinks every little thing their kid does is incredibly amazing but can it be helped? I am just thankful that my husband and I didn't go out and blow a bunch of money on stupid stuff when we first got married so that we are not so debt-ridden that we can actually do this. On days when the puke alerts and meltdown countdowns come more frequently I can just close my eyes for a second and be thankful that I get to see all the good stuff too, reminding myself that not everyone gets this chance.

Video: BMW Featured Heavily In New Mission Impossible Movie
BMW has partnered with Paramount Pictures to take a very visible role in Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation. In particular, it looks like we're going to see a lot of the BMW S1000RR supersport motorcycle.
by Nathaniel Salzman March 25, 2015 March 26, 2015
BMW cars and motorcycles have earned their reputation for premium performance focus. Hollywood has taken notice as well, as BMW has partnered with Paramount Pictures to take a very visible role in Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation. In particular, it looks like we're going to see a lot of the BMW S1000RR supersport motorcycle.
Official Release:BMW confirmed today its role as exclusive worldwide automotive partner of the next installment of Paramount Pictures' legendary action film franchise, "Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation," in theaters from July 31. This is the second time BMW has "accepted the mission" to lend its superior technological support to the film's production crew, enabling it to deliver breathtaking automotive stunt scenes shot around the globe. BMW previously partnered with Paramount on the 2011 successful release of "Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol."
style="display:block"
data-ad-slot="1344376783″
data-ad-format="auto">
The film's official trailer, released worldwide yesterday, offers fans a first glimpse of the high-adrenaline action that only Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his Impossible Mission Force (IMF) team can deliver – including spectacular driving scenes where the new BMW M3 is put through its paces. Its renowned high-performance capabilities made the fifth generation M3 sports car the perfect choice to perform precision driving sequences, the likes of which have never been seen before.
The M division's philosophy and dynamic design leaves no doubt about the M3's motorsport genes while the BMW Motorrad S 1000 RR, which is also seen in the film trailer released yesterday, represents the ultimate performance on two wheels.
BMW ConnectedDrive, which offers uniquely intelligent connectivity between driver, car and environment, was always on hand for the IMF team as they travelled around the globe. This highly innovative system also offers enhanced safety and driving comfort in real life, with features such as camera and driving assistance systems playing an important role.
"We are delighted to again be a part of one of the most exciting action film franchises in movie history," said Ian Robertson, Member of the Board of Management for BMW AG, responsible for Sales and Marketing BMW. "Dynamic performance and BMW ConnectedDrive make our BMW models the perfect cars for Ethan Hunt and his team, who use the vehicles' ground-breaking functions and cutting-edge technology to make sure the good guys come out on top. The BMW M3 combines motorsport DNA with everyday practicality in an emotionally powerful concept quite unlike any other car."
"Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation" reunites Tom Cruise with "Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol," stars Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames. The film also stars Alec Baldwin, Rebecca Ferguson and Sean Harris.
Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions present a Tom Cruise / Bad Robot production. The film is directed by Christopher McQuarrie and produced by Tom Cruise, J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk. The executive producers are David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Don Granger of Skydance Productions and Jake Myers. Drew Pearce, Christopher McQuarrie, Will Staples, Laeta Kalogridis & Patrick Lussier and Dylan Kussman wrote the screenplay, based on the television series created by Bruce Geller.

The BMW M2 CSL — What We've Heard


CHICAGO (thefutoncritic.com) -- It appears the "C.S.I."/"The Apprentice" showdown on Wednesday has been called off as both networks announced changes to their respective schedules over the weekend.
CBS had originally slated a new episode of "C.S.I." for Wednesday, January 14 at 8:00/7:00c in order to squash the time slot premiere of NBC's "The Apprentice" (read the story), which got off to an 18.5 million viewer start last week thanks to a post-"Friends" launch.
Now both networks have changed their minds as CBS has rescheduled said new episode of "C.S.I." to air in its regular Thursday, 9:00/8:00c home this week. A repeat of the freshman drama "Cold Case" will instead fill the 8:00/7:00c hour on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, NBC has opted to air the second episode of its Donald Trump-led reality series once again on Thursday, sandwiched between episodes of "Friends" and "Will & Grace." In its place on Wednesday at 8:00/7:00c will be a re-edited one-hour version of the show's premiere. "The Apprentice" will then settle into its regular Wednesday, 8:00/7:00c home on January 21.

Mayor Greg Luisi praised the quick work of the Tuckahoe Police Department and District Attorney's Office.
"We all heard that cliche, 'If you see something, say something.' Well, we cannot understate what that individual did when he contacted the Tuckahoe Police Department," Luisi said. "Without this individual coming forward, this amount of weaponry would have been out on the streets and who knows what would have happened."
Bonanno, 47, is a plastic surgeon who works on Long Island. He was arraigned in village court on Tuesday on two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, all felonies.
Scarpino said he anticipates that more charges will be filed in Westchester and Nassau counties.
Bonanno is being held in the Westchester County jail without bail and is scheduled to appear back in village court on Aug. 20.
The chief said the suspect and his estranged wife had a "cordial" relationship before this incident. Although there were no previous violent incidents involving Bonanno and his estranged wife, there was an order of protection against him that expired several years ago, he said.
The investigation into how Bonanno acquired so many weapons, most of which are illegal in New York state, and how and why he brought them into Westchester is ongoing, Scarpino said.
Law enforcement and the District Attorney's Office in Westchester and Nassau counties are going through his electronic devices to see if there were any other threats made, but Scarpino said there are no other threats that they knew of at this time.

Laminate flooring came onto the scene first in Europe, where they were made to overlay concrete subfloors. Invented in 1977, it was marketed in Europe first in 1984, and then it found its way onto the market in 1994 int he United States. It's a great alternative to solid wood flooring, as it carries the same beautiful wood look, but is a bit easier on the budget than hardwood.Furthermore, it has plenty of benefits to offer the meticulous homeowner.
At Foglio's Flooring Center, we take great pride in helping our customers find the perfect flooring for all their spaces. Whether you're looking to refloor a single room or an entire dwelling, we can help you throughout the entire process.From picking the perfect floor covering, to installation and after care, we are truly a one-stop shop for all your flooring needs. Serving the areas of Marmora, Ocean City, Avalon, Stone Harbor, Sea Isle and Galloway Township, we have a showroom located in Marmora, NJ. Feel free to stop by at your convenience to speak with a qualified flooring specialist.
One of the things we love most about laminate is its durability. For instance, it's incredibly resistant to scratches, stains, impacts, and even fading caused by direct sunlight. Because of this, it is most often used in rooms such as bedrooms, living rooms and even dining rooms and dens. It stands up well if you happen to have pets and children in the home.
This material can be installed in a variety of ways. First, there is the floating floor, which is applied with no glue, nails or staples at all. In this case, planks simply lock together for a quick and easy install. This is the most common form you'll find in this style of flooring. There are also the types that can be glued into place, as well as those that come pre-glued. The pre-glued version only needs to be moistened and attached to the subfloor. Be sure to discuss these options with your flooring specialist, to see which method is best for your own home.
Maintenance and upkeep is easy when it comes to this floor covering. You will never have to worry about waxing or polishing them, and with a good broom or vacuum, and a damp mop, you can quickly keep them looking brand new for years to come. For information on which cleaners you can use, be sure to speak with your flooring specialist, or consult your manufacturer.


To the east of the state of Saxony sits the lake-filled Bautzen District. Stretching the width of the state, it borders on the Czech Republic in the south and Brandenburg to the north. It also touches the historic Gothic city of Dresden to the west.
The city of Bautzen, on the Spree, is the regions capital today and is over 1,000 years old. It is so breath-takingly beautiful that it has been "twinned" with both Worms and Heidelberg! Bautzen has some fantastic architecture for you to explore, and the horizon is dotted with great towers and elegant spires.
However, its history (and that of the whole district) is not all German — it once belonged to the great Kingdom of Bohemia. This territory belonged to the indigenous Sorbs (the Slavic Wends) and they even have their own language. As a result, many towns here are bi-lingual and celebrate Sorbian festivities.
The south-west of the Bautzen District touches Saxon Switzerland, so called because of its perfect scenery and pretty villages.
Obviously, this region is famous for its attractive landscape and is a magnet for outdoor enthusiasts. However, the village of Pulsnitz is most famous for its Pfefferkuchen — a type of soft gingerbread made for Christmas.


I continue to be absolutely shocked at how much more I'm enjoying this series from book to book.
Summer Knight takes place a year after Grave Peril, and Harry's not in a good place. He's still trying to sort out the negative repercussions of the end of the previous book, and now even the Wizard Council is more than a little upset. Harry's got a massive, massive target on his back both professionally and personally, and it's not really clear how he'll work it out.
What I Liked: The unpredictability, because so many of the situations Dresden ends up have no obvious exit. It's continually impressive that the situations work out the way they do, good or bad. Plus, there continues to be real danger. People have struggles, Harry seems very mortal still, and so on. I also liked that we got a lot of background regarding the warring factions, as well as some good internal politics. I love me some internal politics.
What I Didn't Like: For as much as I can praise the series for making Harry fallible and experiencing consequences for his actions, it's becoming kind of standard that he finds some bizarre, unique way to weasel out of every situation. For the sake of my sanity at this point, I hope that improves.
Overall, another quality volume in what's fast-becoming a favorite series for me. I hate that I've decided one a month is enough for me, because I really would just mainline all of these at this point.

Starlink postpones the introduction of a strict restriction
The restrictions on downloading data via Starlink announced last month would come into effect in February, not December. These changes are reported on the official website of the service. When Starlink first announced the restrictions, the company said the changes would take effect this month. Now they have been postponed for two months than originally planned.
The Starlink service has been making changes to users since February 2023. Starlink Photo
The data restriction conditions remain as announced. As part of the new "Fair Use Policy", Starlink customers will receive a monthly allocated amount of "priority access" data. Consequently, everyone who will use the Internet from Starlink from 7 am to 23 p.m. will use the priority access pool. If the user exceeds the amount of priority access, it will be automatically transferred to "basic access", which has a slower speed and a longer connection process until the end of the paid month.
Regular customers will have a limit of 1 TV of data. An additional volume of priority access will be available for 25 cents per 1 GB. Other plans have different distributions and costs – the price list is available on the Starlink website. Priority access data is not available for Starlink RV, Portability, or Best Effort packages.
Starlink is not the only Internet service provider that has introduced data restriction. Comcast has postponed several times the planned data restrictions on 1.2 TV for its customers in the northeast of the United States. Data restrictions are already in effect for some Comcast customers.
Starlink and Ukraine
About 150 thousand users from Ukraine use the satellite service daily. SpaceX's Starlink Internet service remains vital for Ukrainians in the regions that remain out of communication during the Russian invasion. SpaceX started sending Starlink terminals to Ukraine in February. Although the deployment of the service in our country was originally planned no earlier than 2023, satellite Internet appeared on the territory of Ukraine much earlier. Probably, the US government subsidized the operation of sending Starlink terminals and services. The US military has already been pleasantly surprised by how well the satellite Internet from SpaceX has performed in the conditions of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
Earlier we reported on how the FCC allowed the launch of the second generation of Starlink.
