GatorCountry.com got a chance to go back to school today as we got an inside peek into the nutrition side of the Gator athletic programs. Florida is one of only six universities in NCAA athletics to have two full time dietitians on staff.

Today, we met with sports nutrition director Sarah Snyder who provides the Gator athletes with everything they need to be in top physical condition. Sarah came to Florida after helping train some of the nation's top draft prospects and athletes for the the past couple years. Just like when we were kids, Sarah is the mom to the Gator athletes making sure they are always consuming their veggies and proteins at every meal.

How Obama's Open Data Order Could Save Lives, Energy Costs And Make Cool Apps

Readers may have noticed this morning that their geekiest politically oriented friends are freaking out like teenage girls at a Justin Bieber concert. Today, the big man in the White House signed a rare executive order that all federal data be made freely accessible in a form that can be utilized by software developers, lovingly known as "machine-readable format." Below, we compiled a list of some of the coolest applications developed with government data and, below that, a brief explainer why this new initiative matters.

PITTSBURGH (AP) ? Tomas Vokoun had forgotten what it was like to start in the playoffs. Tyler Kennedy wondered if he'd ever get the chance again.

That's never an issue for Sidney Crosby, who followed the lead of his decidedly less-heralded teammates to establish a bit of order to the Pittsburgh Penguins' first-round series with the New York Islanders.

Vokoun stopped 31 shots in his first postseason appearance in six years, Kennedy broke a scoreless tie with a sizzling breakaway and Crosby delivered another magical goal in a career stuffed with them. The Penguins beat the Islanders 4-0 in Game 5 to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series.

Kris Letang and Doug Murray also scored for Pittsburgh, which finally looked like the team that rolled to the best record in the Eastern Conference during the regular season.

Game 6 is Saturday in New York. Another 60 minutes like the Penguins put together on Thursday and a Game 7 won't be required.

"They played harder than us," New York coach Jack Capuano said. "The better team won tonight. They deserved the hockey game."

One the Penguins desperately needed after the Islanders evened the series 2-2 with a wild 6-4 victory in Game 4 that appeared to have the top seed reeling.

Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma grew so frustrated watching eighth-seeded New York overwhelm goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury that Bylsma benched the Stanley Cup winner ? who had made 79 consecutive playoff starts ? in favor of Vokoun, a 36-year-old journeyman who has never made it out of the first round of the postseason in his career.

Vokoun is three periods away now after shutting out the Islanders for the second time this season. Not bad for a guy starting his first playoff game since April 20, 2007 while playing for Nashville.

"I was a little bit nervous the whole day; you wouldn't be human if you weren't," Vokoun said.

It didn't look like it once the puck dropped. Vokoun didn't budge when the Islanders dominated the first period, turning aside 14 shots in the first 20 minutes as the Penguins tried to gain their bearings with a new lineup designed to cut down New York's speed advantage.

Though Bylsma's biggest change was inserting Vokoun in place of Fleury, he also scratched defenseman Mark Eaton and forwards Jussi Jokinen and Tanner Glass in favor of younger, quicker skaters Simon Despres, Joe Vitale and Kennedy.

The moves paid off handsomely.

Kennedy, squeezed out of the rotation by the influx of veterans brought in at the trade deadline, gave the Penguins the confidence boost they needed 7:25 into the second period.

The play began innocently enough in Pittsburgh's end before Letang hit Kennedy with a pinpoint 80-foot stretch pass right up the middle of the ice. Kennedy greedily accepted the puck at New York's blue line, then flipped a wrist shot over Evgeni Nabokov's glove to give Pittsburgh the lead.

The score seemed to rattle Nabokov. Murray loped in a lazy wrist shot from the point that Nabokov tried to glove only to have the puck slip out of his left hand, over his back and into the net.

There was nothing fluky about Crosby's third goal of the series, a masterpiece that ranks among the more dazzling plays of his already highlight-heavy career.

The Pittsburgh captain, still wearing a cumbersome mask to protect his broken jaw, took a pass from teammate Jarome Iginla at center ice then effortlessly split New York defenders Lubomir Visnovsky and Thomas Hickey. Crosby crossed the blue line and poked the puck ahead as the defensemen closed in, lifting his stick before stepping through a pair of flailing poke checks.

Nabokov didn't have a chance as the wrist shot zipped over the goaltender's stick to push the lead to 3-0.

There's a statue outside Consol Energy Center commemorating a similar goal by Hall of Famer and team co-owner Mario Lemieux. The bronze sculpture shows Lemieux slicing through two Islanders defenders in 1988 on his way to the net.

Crosby downplayed any similarities.

"His was much nicer than mine," Crosby said. "He went through guys and stickhandled through them and stickhandled around the goalie, too. I had a few less moves and a pretty basic shot, but I'll take the goal anytime it goes in."

The Islanders never recovered. While they kept Vokoun busy, he was rarely outnumbered as Pittsburgh cut down on the turnovers that led to a seemingly endless flurry of odd-man rushes by the Islanders in Games 2-4.

"We didn't do a great job of helping Marc out," Crosby said. "We wanted to make sure we did a better job in front of our goalie."

When New York did manage to get deep, Vokoun didn't falter and neither did the guys in front of him as the Penguins were able to develop a consistent rhythm for the first time since a 5-0 romp in Game 1.

Nabokov never located one and found himself on the bench when Letang scored on the power play 5:43 into the third period. Nabokov finished with 23 saves but spent the final 14:17 watching backup Kevin Poulin kept the Penguins off the board. The Islanders will get a chance to regroup at home on Saturday in their bid to win a playoff series for the first time in 20 years.

At least Game 5 is over. New York hasn't won a Game 5 of any playoff series since 1988.

"For us it's two Game 7s right now starting on Saturday," New York defenseman Mark Streit said. "We've just got to concentrate on our game, what brought us in this situation and what makes us successful. We know we have it in the room. We're a confident group."

NOTES: New York played without D Andrew MacDonald, who is dealing with an upper body injury. The Islanders also scratched F Marty Reasoner and D Matt Carkner among others ... Kennedy's goal was his sixth winning goal in the postseason, sixth most in Pittsburgh history.

Exclusive: U.S. decision on Keystone XL pipeline seen dragging past summer

By Timothy Gardner

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration is unlikely to make a decision on the Canada-to-Nebraska Keystone XL pipeline until late this year as it painstakingly weighs the project's impact on the environment and on energy security, a U.S. official and analysts said on Friday.

The decision may not be made until November, December or even early 2014, said a U.S. official, as President Barack Obama will not rush the process, which still has a number of stages to work through. One of those stages has not even begun yet and will run for months.

"The president has to be able to show that the administration looked under every stone to ensure it knew as much as it possibly could about the impact of Keystone," said the official, who did not want to be named given the sensitive nature of the project.

Analysts agreed that a decision would not be made by this summer as the State Department had suggested when it issued an environmental review on the pipeline on March 1.

The State Department is nominally in charge of making a final decision on TransCanada Corp's proposed project, which would help link Alberta's oil sands with refineries and ports along the U.S. Gulf Coast, because the pipeline would cross the national border. But Obama is expected to weigh heavily on the decision.

Another delay in the project, which has been pending for more than four years, would likely anger Canada, whose Prime Minister Stephen Harper is visiting New York next week to push the project at the Council on Foreign Relations.

Other Canadian federal and provincial officials have visited Washington regularly to press the case for the pipeline.

It could also set back TransCanada which last month said delays by Washington would delay completion of the project to the second half of 2015 and push costs for the project above its estimate of $5.3 billion.

A State Department spokeswoman on Thursday said the environmental review has received more than 1 million public comments.

The State Department did not immediately respond to questions about when it plans to finalize its assessment or move to the next stage of determining, with input from several other agencies, whether the pipeline is in the national interest. That stage is expected to take 90 days. Federal agencies will also have 15 days to comment on the decision before it is finalized.

A White House spokesman said in an email that he could not offer any guidance on when a decision is expected.

Kevin Book, a policy analyst at ClearView Energy Partners, said August looks less likely for a decision, but September or October still seem reasonable. Obama may want to time an approval of the pipeline to coincide with new Environmental Protection Agency climate rules for coal plants as a way of appeasing environmentalists who oppose Keystone XL, he said.

Getting the timing right could be a challenge as Republicans in the Senate stall the confirmation of Gina McCarthy, Obama's pick to lead the EPA.

BIG REVISIONS NEEDED?

Backers of the pipeline say the project would boost North American energy security and provide thousands of construction jobs. Opponents argue that it would lead to higher releases of greenhouse gases.

Even before that the national interest decision process kicks off, revisions to the environmental assessment may be needed after the EPA last month took issue with several parts of the State Department's review.

The EPA had concerns about the level of emissions from Canada's oil sands, where crude production is carbon-intensive. It also took issue with the State Department's conclusion that the pipeline would have no effect on climate because the oil sands would make it to market whether or not the pipeline was approved. The State Department said much of the oil could be moved by rail, an assumption the EPA questioned.

If the EPA and State Department do not come to an agreement, the decision could be sent to the White House, which could take even more time. A more likely scenario is that the two agencies will work out a solution, but they will most likely take their time to examine every detail to shield the decision from lawsuits.

"If they short-circuit the process it will open up whatever decision they make to legal challenge," said Daniel Weiss, a fellow at the Center for American Progress Action Fund.

Bills are pending in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate that would give Congress, not the administration, the power to approve the pipeline. Passage in the House seems likely, but prospects in the Democrat-led Senate are uncertain, and the bill would probably meet a presidential veto.

GAO-13-416R, Bureau of the Public Debt: Areas for Improvement in Information Systems Controls, May 09, 2013

What GAO Found

During GAO's fiscal year 2012 audit of the Schedules of Federal Debt managed by the Department of the Treasury's (Treasury) Bureau of the Public Debt (BPD), GAO identified four new general information systems control deficiencies related to access controls and configuration management. In a separately issued Limited Official Use Only report, GAO communicated to the Commissioner of the Bureau of the Fiscal Service detailed information regarding the four new general information systems control deficiencies.

None of the control deficiencies GAO identified represented significant risks to BPD's financial systems. The potential effect of these deficiencies on the Schedule of Federal Debt financial reporting was mitigated by BPD's physical security measures and a program of monitoring user and system activity, as well as compensating management and reconciliation controls designed to detect potential misstatements of the Schedule of Federal Debt.

In addition, during GAO's follow-up on the status of BPD's corrective actions to address information systems control-related deficiencies and associated recommendations contained in GAO's prior years' reports and open as of September 30, 2011, GAO determined that corrective action was complete for 7 of the 16 open recommendations and corrective action was in progress for each of the 9 remaining open recommendations related to access controls, configuration management, and segregation of duties. In the Limited Official Use Only report, GAO communicated detailed information regarding actions taken by BPD to address the control deficiencies related to these open recommendations.

Why GAO Did This Study

GAO is required to audit the consolidated financial statements of the U.S. government. Because of the significance of the federal debt held by the public to the governmentwide financial statements, GAO audits BPD's Schedules of Federal Debt annually. As part of these audits, GAO performs a review of information systems controls over key BPD financial systems relevant to the Schedule of Federal Debt.

This report presents the deficiencies identified during GAO?s fiscal year 2012 testing of information systems controls over key BPD financial systems relevant to the Schedule of Federal Debt. This report also includes the results of GAO?s follow-up on the status of BPD?s corrective actions to address information systems control-related deficiencies and associated recommendations contained in GAO?s prior years? reports and open as of September 30, 2011.

What GAO Recommends

In a separately issued Limited Official Use Only report, GAO made four recommendations to address the four new general information systems control deficiencies related to access controls and configuration management. In commenting on a draft of the separately issued Limited Official Use Only report, the Commissioner of the Bureau of the Fiscal Service concurred with GAO?s conclusions.

Word that Windows 8 isn't selling well is probably only surprising to the people that have bought Windows 8 devices so far, because in enterprises around the world the OS has barely gotten any attention other than by the same tortured souls that tried to run Vista. Many sources this week have made mention of the fact that, due to especially lackluster sales, Microsoft may dial back the radical "features" of Windows 8 to make it more broadly acceptable and boost sales. This is, in large part, to...

Karzai: Afghanistan ready to let US have 9 bases

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) ? Afghan President Hamid Karzai says he is ready to let the U.S. have nine bases in the country after the 2014 combat troop pullout, but wants Washington's "security and economic guarantees" first.

Speaking at a ceremony on Thursday at Kabul University, Karzai said Afghanistan is ready to sign a partnership agreement to that effect.

Karzai says: "When they (the U.S.) do this, we are ready to sign."

The remarks are the first time the Afghan leader has offered any insight into ongoing talks over a deal that would outline American presence in Afghanistan after 2014.

Karzai says Afghanistan wants a U.S. commitment to quickly bring security to the country, strengthen its security forces and the promise of prolonged economic development.

U.S. officials were not immediately available for comment.
