SEATTLE, Wash. — The groan was unmistakable, one you'd recognize at Dwyer's Pub in NT, Danny Sheehan's in Lockport or while sipping cabernet at Wine on Third in the Falls.
But as Jay Feely was rotating his own personal highlight reel by kicking a 61-yard field goal that smacked Bills' fans in their collective jaw and tying Sunday's game in the waning moments, I was sitting among two dozen downtrodden members of the Seattle Bills Backers group in the trendy neighborhood of South Lake Union.
Most of the screens at Jillian's, where the group meets every Sunday for a dose of weekly torture, were tuned to the Seahawks and Patriots, and fittingly so since it was probably the day's best game. But then there was my posse, a group I'd never met yet felt I shared so much with.
Among the Doug Flutie, Jeff Posey and Jack Kemp jerseys was Lockport native Andy Matteliano, co-president of the club, and the obvious mouthpiece for the bunch. When the offense first took the field, Matteliano got a group snicker by yelling "C'mon Fitz ... just be average!" He later bemoaned the use of Brad Smith, asked why the team neglects to run even though it bites off big chunks nearly each time it does, and joked about the defense finally playing up to its preseason accolades.
In other words, even though Matteliano left Western New York when he was in elementary school, he sounded just like whoever you sat through Sunday's roller-coaster ride with.
Since I left the B-Lo about a month ago — my sights on a return move to Arizona, but taking my time and soaking up the marvel of this country along the way — the Bills have been the thing that connects me to home. After working for the Tonawanda News and Niagara Gazette for nearly a decade, attending Bills games in a professional capacity, I can swap painful stories with the best of 'em. Still, I find time to tune in on Sundays, listen to the John Murphy Show via podcast, and flip through stories on all the local websites. The Bills dominate my conversations with family members, and I swapped plenty of texts with buddies who were at the game on Sunday.
You can try to run, but you can't hide.
What's made matters worse was that after years of sitting in the press box, worrying about the next day's story, I prematurely bought season tickets this year and thought I'd be enjoying the fun first-hand. Instead, I pushed my trip back as far as possible, until after the home opener, then shoved off the next day.
Along my travels I found a Kenmore West and UB graduate wearing a Canisius College sweatshirt at a soccer game in Kalispell, Mont., and a Tonawanda native at the summit of a hike in the Cascade Mountains. Both shook their heads when I brought up home, stunned the Bills were off to such a slow start after finally spending a few bucks in the off-season.
I saw the same look on Sunday, when Feely drilled the 61-yarder. Doom. Gloom. A sorry-eyed look of despair we Buffalonians seem to be the only ones to understand to this depth.
A few minutes later, the Cardinals charged deep into Buffalo territory, and it was certain we'd be on the short end of the stick. It's not like we didn't expect it. The skinny guy in the Flutie jersey asked aloud why he'd been born a Bills fan. Matteliano essentially called for a clear-cut firing squad for the coaching staff. Hats were thrown and arms flailed in disgust.
I wasn't home, but it sure felt like it.
That's when the unthinkable happened — Feely pulled his second kick, boinking it off the upright. Jarius Byrd stepped in front a bad pass a few minutes later, and the Bills finished the day tied for first place in the AFC East. There were high-fives, hugs, and what's probably unrealistic talk of the playoffs.
As the group streamed out, the sentiment was universal: Man, that was painful. See you next week.
Hey, maybe we never finally get that brass ring. Maybe we end up the Los Angeles Pistoleros. But if there's a game, we'll keep watching. All of us. Hoping the Jay Feelys of the world miss those kicks and we'll have reason to smile on Monday.
You can take the kid out of Buffalo, but you can't take the anguish ... er, I mean Buffalo ... out of the kid.
I'm not sure we'd have it any other way.

If youre waiting at a stop light in downtown Macon and see cigarette butts and other trash outside your car window, its a safe bet that much of it will find its way to the Ocmulgee River after a hard rain.
Once a year, hundreds of volunteers fan out along the river and pluck trash from it, making the vital Middle Georgia waterway a little cleaner.
This years Ocmulgee Alive! effort -- the ninth -- begins at 8:30 a.m. Saturday. More than 300 people already have signed up to help during the morning, but more volunteers are always welcome, said Mark Wyzalek, a Macon Water Authority employee who helps coordinate the initiative.
And its not just soft drink bottles and cans, discarded cups and other litter that volunteers find.
Im always amazed at the number of shopping carts we find from grocery stores that are miles away from where we find them, said Wyzalek, the authoritys director of laboratory/environmental compliance.
Many of Saturdays volunteers have preassigned areas to clean. For those who dont, Wyzalek says they should report to Rotary Park on Riverside Drive near First Street for instructions. Volunteers will spend about three hours Saturday morning helping clean a 2-mile stretch along the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail.
Workers should wear boots (or sturdy shoes), a long-sleeve shirt, long pants, a hat and sunscreen. They should also bring work gloves, insect repellent, drinking water and a tool to pick up trash. Volunteers will need to sign a medical release and liability waiver.
Saturdays work in Macon is part of an effort involving the statewide Rivers Alive campaign, sponsored by the state Environmental Protection Divisions Adopt-a-Stream program and the Keep Georgia Beautiful program. There are about 250 such efforts across Georgia, and Macons cleanup turnout is the fourth largest.
Wyzalek was quick to thank corporate sponsors, including YKK USA, Graphic Packaging International and Coca-Cola Refreshments, as well organizers that include the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail, Keep Macon-Bibb Beautiful, the National Park Service, the Bibb County Cooperative Extension office and Historic Riverside Cemetery Conservancy.
Without them, we wouldnt have the success that we do, he said.

Greetings from HSBC Arena, where the natural order of jerseys has been restored. The Sabres took their pregame skate in white, the visiting Canadiens whirled around in red. I never used to mind what teams wore, but my good buddy J.A. Schneider has railed about the NHL's decision to have the home team wear dark for years, and he finally convinced me it's just plain wrong.
Of course, the way the league sees it, teams can have regular and third jerseys in dark colors, and if the home fans see them both, they might like them both and buy them both.
Well, Milt Ellis just introduced the Sabres' starting lineup, and Ronan Tynan is about to do the anthem. We'll be back.
7:40 p.m.: Ronan is light's out, as usual, and this was the first time he's ever done the national anthem. I was hoping he do both that and "God Bless America," but you can't get everything. Take the Sabres, for example, they can't get a sellout tonight. There are more than 1,000 empty seats.
But they can get local stars. Rick Azar is taking the ice now, followed by Frank Sedita Jr. and Seymour H. Knox IV. Floyd Smith and Henri Richard are coming next. The first standing ovation of the ceremony goes to Richard.
And the second standing ovation, and the loudest, goes to Rick Jeanneret.
It's a little quieter as B. Thomas Golisano gets introduced to do a 40th puck drop with Craig Rivet and Brian Gionta. A deserved ovation for Rip Simonick.
7:49 p.m.: And the next 40 years are under way.
7:53 p.m.: The Sabres dodge a bullet as Montreal fires wide an open net -- created just 1:20 in when Andrej Sekera takes out his own goalie, Ryan Miller behind the Buffalo net.
7:57 p.m.: Montreal defenseman and Rookie of the Year candidate P.K. Subban almost took Nathan Gerbe's head off at center with six minutes gone, with almost being the key word. He just missed, then got a whack from Derek Roy for the effort.
8:01 p.m.: And we hit the first commercial break with 10:04 left with no score. Took awhile to get to that commercial, could take only five seconds to get to the next one. For those who haven't timed their bathroom breaks or beer runs through the years, the commercials come at the first whistle after the clock hits 14:00, 10:00 and 6:00. Unless it's an icing. Just thought you should know.
8:05 p.m.: Sabres get first power play with 9:16 left as Benoit Pouliot goes for hooking, according to Voice of the Aud Milt Ellils.
8:08 p.m.: No shots for the Sabres on the power play, which is now 2 for 18 this season.
8:09 p.m.: It's the Habs' turn to on the power play as Paul Gaustad goes off for hooking with 6:54 to go. Montreal is 0 for 9 with the man advantage through three games.
8:10 p.m.: I just looked at the date, so J.A. if you're still reading this, put me down as a yes to attend the wedding. And tell Dana sorry I forgot to mail the reply card today (since it's due tomorrow). I'm such a slacker.
8:12 p.m.: Sabres catch a break as Tomas Plekanec, who seems to always strike against Buffalo, shoots his backhand wide while staring at an open net with 5:48 to go.
8:15 p.m.: Nice little bump by Jaroslav Spacek along the boards as the final TV timeout of the period hits at 3:39, with the score still tied at 0-0. Was having a conversation with soon-to-be-ex-Sabres.com star Erin Pollina (tonight's her last night with the team) this morning about how much we missed having Spacho around the dressing room. It got me thinking of my favorites through my nine seasons, and they're all defensemen: Jay McKee, Brian Campbell, Toni Lydman and Spacho. They made the room a fun place to come every day.
8:22 p.m.: The teams head to the dressing room with a 0-0 tie, though the Sabres almost made it 1-0 in the final minute. Drew Stafford fed Ennis for a partial breakaway, with Carey Price making the stop with 35 sesconds left. Tyler Myers just missed on the rebound attempt. The Sabres have eight shots, Montreal has six.
8:40 p.m.: Game on, with a chant of "Go, Habs, go" ringing through the 300 Level.
8:43 p.m.: Welcome back to the lineup, Chris Butler. The Sabres' defenseman gets a quick dose of bad luck with Montreal scoring off his skate with just 1:29 off the clock. Alexandre Picard's shot from the point was blocked, and Picard recovered and pushed it toward the front, where it hit Butler's foot and went past Miller. It's 1-0 Montreal.
8:49 p.m.: The Habs will go back on the power play with 13:37 left after Ennis interferes with Price. The shots are 3-2 this period in favor of Montreal, with the teams combining for just 19 shots. The Sabres introduce Air Force Capt. Anthony King, the recipient of Butler's Tickets for Troops program.
Another year goes by, and this is still the only rink in the NHL that doesn't give a standing ovation to the introduced military personnel.
8:54 p.m.: Sabres kill the penalty while facing three shots.
9:02 p.m.: Long time with no whistle. It's 1-0 still with 3:51 to go.
9:05 p.m.: The Habs are going back on the power play with 2:25 left after Steve Montador roughs Jeff Halpern. The Sabres blew two glorious scoring chances with about 6:30 left. First, Mike Grier's point-blank deflection of a Rob Niedermayer pass went over the net. Then, Grier had Thomas Vanek wide open in the slot but missed him with the pass. Grier went to the bench and went Paul Bunyan with his stick, giving it an overhead two-hand smash over the boards.
9:09 p.m.: The Habs get their first power-play goal of the season as Josh Gorges rings one of the post and in from the point with 1:05 left. It's 2-0 Montreal.
9:10 p.m.: The teams head to the dressing room with Montreal holding a 2-0 lead and an 18-15 edge in shots. The Habs have allowed 37 shots per game, but the Sabres seem intent on bringing that down. The Sabres haven't scored in 115:29. The last time they were shut out in back-to-back games was to start the 2003-04 season when Philly and the Islanders sent them on their way with nothing.
9:28 p.m.: Game on.
9:33 p.m.: Derek Roy raises his arms and looks skyward as the Sabres finally rediscover the net with 16:34 to play. Price stopped Drew Stafford's wraparound, and the puck moved to Roy at the opposite side of the crease. The center whiffed on his first attempt but had time to recover and make the score 2-1.
9:34 p.m.: The Sabres' goalless drought ends at 118:55.
9:38 p.m.: It's still 2-1 with 13:52 to play.
9:48 p.m.: Montreal holds its 2-1 lead with 6:17 to go. The Habs have a 9-5 shot edge this period.
9:54 p.m.: It's still 2-1 Montreal with 4:40 to go and 17,264 actually making some noise.
9:58 p.m.: Clock has ticked down to 2:28 with the Sabres trying to push for the tie.
10 p.m.: The Sabres try to get Miller to the bench with 34.8 seconds left, but they ice the puck, bringing the faceoff to the Buffalo zone and Miller back on the ice. Timeout, Sabres.
10:05 p.m.: Montreal wins, 2-1. The Sabres are 0-3-1 at home and 1-3-1 overall. They're in Chicago on Saturday night.

Mustard is so very easy to make and the perfect addition to a ham sandwich. It makes a great homemade gift too.
175g/6oz yellow mustard seeds
175g/6oz black mustard seeds
500ml/18fl oz beer or ale
1 tbsp sea salt
pinch crushed chilli flakes
175ml/6fl oz cider vinegar or white wine vinegar
6 tbsp runny honey
1 tbsp ground mace or nutmeg
Mix the mustard seeds and beer together in bowl, cover and set aside overnight. (The mustard seeds will soften and soak up most of the beer.)
Sterilise the jars for the mustard. Wash in very hot water or on the hot cycle of a dishwasher. Preheat the oven to 160C/325F/Gas 3. Place the jars upside down on a baking tray and dry in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
Stir in the remaining ingredients, then blend in a food processor until nearly smooth (you may need to do this is batches).
Spoon the mustard into the sterilised jars; tap gently to remove all the air bubbles.
Type the ingredients you want to use, then click Go. For better results you can use quotation marks around phrases (e.g. "chicken breast"). Alternatively you can search by chef, programme, cuisine, diet, or dish (e.g. Lasagne).

Can get really sticky once the slickness has worn down and have to use soap and water to clean off hands...perfer silicone better, slickness last longer, just stains on clothes.
I'm a big fan of JM Productions line of movies, but I have to say that this flagship for a great series was subpar at best. The camera work was horrible along with the lighting. I'm a big fan of Candy Apples, she might not be the best looking woman in porn, but she is one of the hardest working women in porn. It's a shame to see her true talent wasted with shotty camera work.
Not impressed at all! Very boring sex scenes. The girls looked bored and not satisfied. April is hot, but being hot alone will not cut it!
the only reason this is worth mentioning is "catalina", she is really hot and has the best set of tits in the world. she just lays there and takes it hard by these two ugly black guys with huge cocks. man, do i wish i were them!
I really loved this one. Ashley Blue is incredieble. She takes on two black cocks like it's nothing, and loves every minute of it..God Bless her ass!
this is the best gangbang series out there. the male actors in this one are pretty funny with their dialog, but candy hill makes this one worth buying, which i have. she is so nasty as she gets dp"s outside a trailer in a lawn chair. she just takes it like a real woman as these two guys just work her over. she just looks into the camera with a helpless look on her face as she gets pounded senselessly. she is pure white trash with a kick ass body! i highly recommend this one.
This DVD was okay, nothing to right home about. The scene with the chick in the porn shop with a dildo in her is pretty good, but other than that, it gets a three.
Some of the girls are not easy on the eyes, but they have bodies that could stop a clock. There is nothing in this world better then a black chick getting nailed and unable to respond verbally..it's the best!
I am truly a fan of mary carey, she is so pretty and feminine, with a hint of trashy to her...I high recommend getting her movies, plus she has pretty feet. Big plus.....
I enjoy this series by Kick-Ass Pictures, the girls are great and sleazy. I enjoyed this in perticular because of my girl...Violet Blue! She reminds me of my girlfriend's sister. She is hot and loves the gangbang stuff...highly recommended. The only thing wrong with this one is the guys can't fill the hole with cream filling like advertised....time to drink more protein shakes guys...

By Darin Svenson For the Herald
The Clinton Herald
---- — DECORAH — The Decorah Vikings are now on a school record 25-game winning streak. But in that time they had not received as tough a challenge as they did Monday night.
A team that trailed for only 2 minutes and 19 seconds all season and 7:41 in the past two seasons didn't take the lead until there were 37 seconds left in the first half Monday night against Maquoketa in the Iowa Class 3A football playoffs. Decorah took a 14-10 lead on a 50-yard pass from Bryce Pierce to Cole Svestka late in the half and pulled away to a 40-24 victory.
The start was just what the underdog Cardinals needed. After winning the toss and deferring their choice to the second half, the Maquoketa defense forced the Vikings into a three-and-out. The Cardinals' offense drove 61 yards in 11 plays, ending in a Trent Bollman-to-Benjamin Strathman 4-yard scoring connection, giving Maquoketa a 7-0 lead with 5:28 left in the first quarter.
"It was a good balance of run and pass that got us going," Cardinals coach Kevin Bowman said. "The good start was key for us playing a great program toe-to-toe."
After another Decorah three-and-out, Maquoketa drove to the Decorah 23-yard line, but incomplete passes on third and fourth downs gave the Vikings the ball on downs.
Decorah drove to the Cardinals' 12 on the next possession, but Cole Svestka missed a 30-yard field goal with 7:09 left in the second quarter.
Maquoketa's lone turnover came on its next drive, when Decorah's Colin Nimrod intercepted a Bollman pass and returned it to the Cardinals' 30. Four plays later, Vikings quarterback Pierce had his first of three touchdown runs, a 5-yard score to tie the game with 4:45 left in the second quarter.
The Cardinals grabbed the momentum again, though. Strathman returned the kickoff 42 yards to the Maquoketa 47. On the first play of the drive, Bollman connected with Alex Gillmore for a 46-yard connection to the Decorah 7. The drive resulted in a Cameron Thede 24-yard field goal, giving the Cardinals a 10-7 lead with 3:00 left in the first half.
The ensuing drive for Decorah gave the Vikings the lead for good. Pierce connected with Svestka from 50 yards away. The Andy Sikkink extra point gave Decorah the lead 14-10.
"Give them credit for that answer before halftime," Bowman said. "That was a back-breaker at that time giving up that big play."
Maquoketa got the ball to start the second half but failed to get a first down. Decorah took over at the Cardinals' 39 after a 6-yard punt. Four plays later, Pierce scored his second rushing touchdown of the night, giving the Vikings a 21-10 lead with 8:59 left.
The Cardinals got within four after a Jacob Kloft 61-yard punt return for a score with 3:01 left in the third to make it 21-17 Decorah.
But the Vikings took a two-score leader a possession later with a 64-yard touchdown run 1:34 later.
"I'm very proud of our kids' effort," Bowman said. "We went toe-to-toe with the defending state champion and the number two team in the state, and they're very deserving of that ranking."
Bollman ended his career with a 20-for-45 passing performance with 257 yards and a touchdown. Strathman had nine catches for 128 yards and a touchdown.
Third-down conversions were a telling stat in the game. Decorah was 6-of-12 and Maquoketa was 3-for-15.
The Cardinals finished the season 7-4 and are 24-11 the last three seasons. Bowman is pleased with the direction of the program.
"This is the fifth straight year we've been in the playoffs, and we've only made the playoffs twice before that," he said. "We like to think that things are starting to role for us, and the challenge is to keep that going."
Decorah (11-0) and will host Solon in the quarterfinals Friday night.

HOUSTON -- A woman blamed her smart key for getting her purse snatched at a gas station in southwest Houston.
Leann Hubert said she placed her purse on the front driver seat while she pumped gas. She left the door open.
Witnesses said a well-dressed woman in her thirties hopped in her car and stole the purse.
"Shame on you," said Hubert. "They need to get a real job."
Hubert did not lock her vehicle because she said her smart key was in her purse. The smart key unlocks the car when you are near.
"In the future I will actually keep my smart key with me in my pocket," Hubert said.

L'Thai Organic Cuisine & Wine Bar prides itself on being the first organic Thai restaurant outside of Thailand.
The world's first such eatery right here in Smyrna's West Village? Well, not exactly, but this wholesome, healthy and most delicious restaurant has become a local favorite since its opening two years ago.
It's actually owners Pithya Kongthavorn and Nui Rattanachatree's original L'Thai location in Tucker that owns claim as the world's first organic Thai restaurant outside of Thailand.
That's according to proudly displayed documentation from the Ministry of Commerce, Royal Thai Government, which also honored L'Thai with its "Thai Select'' award as one of the globe's top Thai restaurants. The awards are nice, but what's important here is the food, and it's both good and good for you.
With the success of their Tucker location, Pithya and Nui looked to Smyrna to open L'Thai West Organic Cuisine & Wine Bar with a mission statement that's "committed to health, vitality and wellness of body, mind and spirit for all the people, all the planet.''
"We believe in the purity of food and don't use anything processed in the kitchen,'' said Pithya, who shuffles between the two locations to make sure things run smoothly. "Everything is made at the premises, including the sauces and ice creams."
Ingredients are bought fresh from famer's markets and local organic producers. Organic basil and mint provided specifically for the restaurants are grown in Florida. There is truly a passion for healthy cooking here.
"In addition to being organic, the preparations are almost gluten-free,'' Pithya proudly explained. "Wheat is used only in soy sauce to ferment it. There is little to no use of genetically modified corn flour.''
It is also one of the few local establishments to possess such a thorough list of fine organic beers and wines.
L'Thai claims to nurture dishes, keeping the nutrients and enzymes alive. It is no surprise that the freshness of the ingredients can be be tasted in the food.
The crispy basil duck has garnered acclaim from food critics across metro Atlanta and is truly is one of the best things to eat in city. The basil rolls come raw or fried, but either way with the sweet taste of vegetables.
The fried lobster with Penang sauce has a paper-thin crispy crust that melts in your mouth. It's reportedly a favorite of chef Paul Albrect, a longtime fixture on the Atlanta restaurant scene. And the made-to-order soups served in a variety of healthy ways are a must try, too.
It is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner and L'Thai has recently partnered with the discount vendor Scoutmob to offer a 50 percent discount ($15 max per table) to their customers.

Latest news, analysis and links on UW football, basketball and other sports
With Borland ailing, Marcus Trotter preparing to start
Madison - Wisconsin could be without middle linebacker Chris Borland Saturday against No. 6 Ohio State.
Borland, who suffered a right-hamstring injury late in the victory over Indiana, has practiced this week but is not running at full-speed.
"Game speed is different than practice speed," UW coach Bret Bielema said after practice Thursday.
If Borland cannot play against the Buckeyes, redshirt sophomore Marcus Trotter should get his first start at UW.
"He is OK," Bielema said, adding that Borland planned to test the hamstring during warm-ups. "Now, each day he has gotten better. He is adamant that every day it feels better.
"A lot of times with an injury like that you get concerned if they start regressing and he hasn't regressed."
Borland leads UW in sacks (4½) and is second on the team in tackles (82) and tackles for loss (nine).
Trotter, a graduate of Marquette High School, took over after Borland left the Indiana game. The redshirt sophomore has three tackles this season. He played in five games last season, though mostly on special teams.
If Trotter went down with an injury during the game or struggled, UW could move strong-side linebacker Ethan Armstrong into the middle and use reserve Conor O'Neill in Armstrong's spot.
Armstrong has gotten minimal work this week at middle linebacker.
Trotter got extensive work with the No. 1 defense in the spring when Borland was given time off and Armstrong was out. He got additional work with the first unit in camp.
"That's just a contingency plan," Bielema said of using Armstrong in the middle. "We'll got with Marcus first and Marcus has done some good things going back to last spring and fall camp."

so much for this just being a cramp..Hide replies
Yeah, it didn't look much like a cramp at the time, either. Much as I hate to say it, they should hold him out this week.
Sure looked like a hamstring at the time. The way he immediately grabbed it and where they were putting ice. A huge loss for the Badgers but we need him the most in Indy so hope they take it slow. Don't want that thing to pop and lose him for the big game.
What a surprise! Jeff said he was fine during his Monday night chat.
Borland is an Ohio kid, so I would imagine he'll play if at all possible. I'm with eddie & kc; much as I'd like to see him out there tomorrow, the Indianapolis date is much more important.
Hopefully he'll play better than his brother did at Nebraska. Nonetheless, Borland should be prepping for the BIG game at Indy.

Calvert Commends DC District Court Ruling to Uphold Critical Dodd-Frank Disclosure Rules
Calvert has played a leading role among investors in supporting the passage of the original legislation and then a strong SEC rule implementing the law.
Calvert joins other responsible investors, leading companies, and human rights groups in hailing the DC District Court decision to support the implementation of Section 1502 of the landmark Dodd–Frank Act.
Calvert has played a leading role among investors in supporting the passage of the original legislation and then a strong SEC rule implementing the law. Now that the rule has been upheld, Calvert calls upon all covered companies to move forward with the required disclosures and related due diligence processes that can curtail the use of the "conflict minerals" fueling the bloody conflict in the Congo.
We applaud the decision taken by the DC District Court decision on July 23rd to uphold the implementing rules for Section 1502 of the Dodd–Frank Act and to dismiss the lawsuit filed against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Manufacturers, and the Business Roundtable.
As investors, we believe that the Section 1502 (Conflict Minerals Disclosure) of the Dodd–Frank Act provides a critical leverage point to address one of the root causes of the ongoing violence that has plagued the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) for many years. The rule provides investors the information needed to make sound financial investments and to ensure that the companies in which we invest are not associated, either directly or indirectly, with significant human rights risks associated with conflict minerals.
Over the last three years, members of an investor coalition led by Responsible Sourcing Network, Boston Common Asset Management, Calvert Investments, and Trillium Asset Management, submitted several recommendations to the SEC during the rule–making process. Key components from the investors' letters were included in the final rule. Copies of the recommendations to the SEC and a list of the investor organizations that signed on to the letters are available at http://www.sourcingnetwork.org/investors/. We commend the leadership of the Enough Project and Global Witness, along with a number of major U.S. companies (including GE, HP, Intel, AMD, and Ford Motor), which worked collaboratively together with investors as a multi–stakeholder group rthrough the lengthy rulemaking process.
Investors included members of the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR), a membership association of 275 faith–based institutional investors including religious communities and asset management companies; United Nations' PRI: Principles for Responsible Investment; and US SIF: The Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment, a membership association of investors, firms, institutions, and organizations engaged in sustainable and responsible investing or "SRI."
We believe that the rule charts a workable path forward for companies to report on the sourcing and due diligence processes associated with the minerals captured by the legislation. As investors, we commend companies that have already begun implementation of the 1502 rule and encourage all companies to comply with its provisions swiftly and fully.
We also encourage responsible investment in the DRC and the broader Great Lakes Region—consistent with the provisions of this law and the rule implementing it—in order to help support peace and prosperity after two decades of bloody conflict and massive dislocations affecting millions of people.

PRESTONSBURG — Jason VanHook's North Laurel 11-year-old All-Stars were facing a must-win situation Wednesday against Morgan County and they managed to come through with a win in a big way.
North Laurel scored three runs in the first inning, and followed with six runs in the second inning before putting the game away with three more runs in the third inning to knock off Morgan County, 12-0.
Now North Laurel will be back in action again today in Final Four action after seeing Campbellsville help them out against Prestonsburg Wednesday by scoring a run.
Both North Laurel and Prestonsburg entered Wednesday allowing the same amount of runs, which is a tie-breaker, and after Campbellsville scored a run against Prestonsburg during Wednesday's nightcap, VanHook and his group of All-Stars found out they were going to advance to the Final Four.
"It's nice," VanHook said. "I thought we played well today, but I also thought we could have scored a bit more runs. We managed to score some early and that gave us some much needed breathing room."
Cameron Cotton kept Morgan County's batters in check at the plate by striking out the side in the first inning. He finished the game allowing only three hits, no earned runs while tossing three innings while Cole Kelley pitched a scoreless fourth inning for north Laurel.
North Laurel only had five hits in the win, but they managed to take advantage of five errors by Morgan County and eight walks during the win.
Colby Howard finished the game going 2-for-3 at the plate along with a triple and two RBIs.
Noah Rogers had a hit in the win and drove in two runs while Blaine Miller had a hit and an RBI. Tanner Bowling also drove in a run while Ty Baker had a double and two runs scored.
"We did what we needed to do to win," VanHook said. "I thought we hit the ball well and did what we needed to do to score some runs.
"Cameron Cotton came in, pitching wise, and did a great job for us," he added. "He's not one of our normal rotation guys and neither is Cole Kelley, but they came out today and did what they needed to do. I am very proud of every one of them."

Hammonds waives right to a hearing
Accused of inappropriately touching women in stores
by Chris Harris
Commonwealth Journal
Somerset —
A Somerset man accused of groping women in local retail establishments appeared in court Wednesday.
According to Pul-aski County Attor-ney Martin Hatfield, the suspect, Robert Aaron Hammonds, 38, waived his right to a preliminary hearing.
Hatfield noted that typically when the preliminary hearing is waived, the case goes straight to a grand jury to decide indictment.
Hammonds' next court date is scheduled for the end of June.
Hammonds was arrested Saturday night after multiple reports had been made of women being inappropriately touched while shopping.
Somerset Police reports allegations by six victims in all after the case first began May 30. That's when two women initially reported that a man had inappropriately touched them in separate incidents while they were shopping at the T.J. Maxx clothing store, located in the Grand Central Place shopping center.
The suspect allegedly touched both victims in the buttocks area in an action that appeared he was passing by.
Other similar alleged incidents Family Dollar on East Mt. Vernon Street, at Hobby Lobby, located in Grand Central Place shopping center, and at K-Mart along East Ky. 80.
Two of the reported victims were under 12 years old, according to police.
Hammonds was arrested by SPD Officer Randall Smith at a residence on North Ky. 1247 Saturday and s lodged in the Pulaski County Detention Center shortly after 12 a.m. Sunday. He was charged on a Pulaski District Court warrant on two counts of first-degree sexual abuse and three counts of third-degree sexual abuse. First-degree sexual abuse is a felony and third-degree sexual abuse is a misdemeanor.

2001 100m qf revisited
Main message board: for the discussion of topical track & field items only.

2001 100m qf revisited
Now that we are seeing these unworldly times in the 100, i.e. 9.9s from the regular sprinters. Are we entirely sure that qf round of the 100 was actually flawed??? Thoughts? I have always thought 9.9 from MLF that year was completely believable.
Re: 2001 100m qf revisited
I was always a believer.
The only reason we didn't get an explosion of fast times subsequently is because the wind turned around, and there were headwinds for all the semis and finals (both men and women).
Remember that despite a -0.2 (admittedly almost negligible) and hobbling across the line that Mo ran 9.82. Little doubt in my mind he was on target for something in the 9.7s that day, and with even a mild tailwind (at 650m of altitude), low 9.7s. I think the best race I ever saw him run.
Re: 2001 100m qf revisited
And it's not unusal that 2nd round times are faster than semi finals without the help of the wind (see WC 1997 and 2003).
Re: 2001 100m qf revisited
I think we may have all jumped the gun back then. It all seemed so unreal, now it would be par for the course.
gh it was his best race. I think barring injury, that would still be the AR race. He and I were just talking about this race Monday. Craziness.
Re: 2001 100m qf revisited
As I recall, the unbelievable part was the wind reading (-3 or so, wasn't it?). There was, in principle, nothing wrong with the "times" (at least numerically).
Re: 2001 100m qf revisited
The wind gauge was broken and they threw out all the readings, yes.

We ordered the VIP King package and we were not given the appropriate seats. It was a hassle and we got moved around a lot because of the confusion. I do not know what happened with our reservation this was my first experience with travelzoo and I was not impressed with how this turned out.

Updated Nov. 13 and again Nov. 20, 2012
Southern California Edison officials Nov. 30 are hoping to convince regulators they've figured out why and how crucial components at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station broke down, and that they've taken the right steps to safely restart the plant.
The public meeting Nov. 30 will be held from 6 and 9 p.m. at the Hills Hotel, 25205 La Paz Road in Laguna Hills. It will include a technical presentation detailing the restart plan, and opportunities for interaction from the public, according to an NRC release.
Edison was supposed to present its restart plan to the NRC publicly earlier in November at the Doubletree Hotel in Dana Point, but NRC officials postponed the meeting.
Both reactors at the plant have been shuttered since Jan. 31, and the plant announced plans to lay off some 730 workers, estimating it will pay out $30 million in severance pay to those who lost their jobs, according to statements in an earnings press conference. (Edison says the layoffs had been planned before the shutdown.)
Now, Edison wants to restart one of the units -- the less-damaged one -- at partial strength for a reduced operating period, asserting they've taken proper steps to run it safely.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials will have to decide if they agree, however.
The meeting will be webcast live at http://video.nrc.gov. Given the seating capacity of the meeting facility is limited to approximately 400 persons, participation via webcast is encouraged, according to a release from the commission. The video stream will begin about 5 p.m., but the audio stream will not start until the meeting begins.
Parking at the Hills Hotel is free.

GA-Sen: Jim Martin Plays The Barack Obama Card
by Todd Beeton, Thu Nov 06, 2008 at 12:36:38 PM EST
With Merkley's victory and three Senate seats still outstanding, the prospect of a 60-seat super-majority is technically not dead yet, although everything would have to go our way for Begich, Franken and Martin to all pull out victories. What's somewhat frustrating is that for the most part there's not a lot we can do other than wait for the counting; that's not the case with the Georgia Senate run-off, however.
Jim Martin is in full on campaign mode for the Dec. 2nd run-off and has released this ad in which he tries to capitalize on Barack Obama's victory, casting himself as Obama's partner in change.This is a smart ad as it captures the uplift that even detractors felt once Obama was declared the winner Tuesday night. But is it enough to turn out Barack supporters to vote for Jim just 30 days after the general and will this argument be MORE compelling than the inevitable argument Chambliss will make that voting for him is a check against Democratic single party rule? Which of those arguments will win the day and whose supporters will turn out?
Give to Jim Martin's campaign at our newly updated Road to 60 ActBlue page to make sure we do what we can to add one more seat to President-Elect Obama's majority.

This is an excellent question to ask before entering the surveying profession. I wish I would have asked this question some 30 years ago, but then I don't think it would have mattered. The only thing I ask of the survey professionals that are brave enough to answer this question is to answer it from the heart and be honest. Surveying is a great profession that hasn't been given the credit that it deserves for many years. I have first-hand experience in this as I started out with a two-year degree, worked my way through the ranks, obtained my licensure in 2 states, and currently own my second surveying business. But the one thing I can tell you is that I am most grateful and blessed to have the former bosses and co-workers that took the time to teach me the so-called "nuts & bolts" of the profession. What I mean by that is that I had a good education, good common sense, and an abundance of office experience calculating and board-drafting. I knew I wanted to get licensed, but I had absolutely no field experience except through some of my classes. I decided that I was not going to get my license until I fully understood the techniques used in the field work. It took switching jobs to reach my goal, but I couldn't thank those patient, kind, and generous guys enough. The best advice I could offer you Trevor is to find a community college or university that has a certificate program in surveying, and take some classes. Also, find a surveying company in the area and volunteer some time working in the field with a crew chief that has patience, common sense, and know-how as far as using a shovel and metal detector to find corners that may be under the ground surface, and who doesn't assume just because it isn't sticking up a foot above ground and is flagged that it doesn't exist. There is a wealth of knowledge out there if one looks for it and is lucky enough to find it. Also, always remember that you will learn something new every day, and you will never know it all! Good luck to you Trevor, the possibilities are endless. Joanne

The Virginia Public Access Project released a video Wednesday comparing the demographic makeup of the Virginia General Assembly to the population of the state its members represent.
Click the thumbnail to watch the video.
VPAP, a nonpartisan, non profit group that takes on projects to "improve public understanding of money's role in Virginia politics," among other initiatives, completed the comparison based on the most recent U.S. Census data.
It looked at how the assembly stacked up "on characteristics such as education attainment, gender, military service, and ethnicity," among others.
The Virginia General Assembly has 140 members; the state has some 8 milion citizens.
"The video seeks to increase public understanding of Virginia's part-time citizen legislature," the organization writes.
According to the U.S. Census data used by the project, Fairfax City's population is younger and more likely to have been born in other countries than the General Assembly as a whole.
Other notable differences: The state legislature has more military veterans and representatives with four-year degrees than Fairfax City; Fairfax City is home to about three times as many women as the population that serves in the General Assembly.
- Four year college degree: Fairfax - 29.4 percent, Assembly - 88 percent
- Born outside the U.S.: Fairfax - 25.4 percent, Assembly - 3 percent
- 65 years or older: Fairfax - 13.7 percent, Assembly - 25 percent
- Military veterans: Fairfax - 11.2 percent, Assembly - 28 percent
- White, not Hispanic: Fairfax - 61.4 percent, Assembly - 85 percent
- Female: Fairfax - 50.7 percent, Assembly - 18 percent
Could the General Assembly makeup better represent Fairfax City and Virginia? How? Tell us in the comments.

Just bought the Para Acoustic D.I. Is it a good idea to remove the battery when not in use?
I was just thinking that, thank you so much for the help!
The Anthem does require a traditional saddle to get the best sound. So I wouldn't recommend trying to install it under the existing saddle pickup. You may want to look at the Lyric. The Lyric is similar to the Anthem, but it doesn't have an undersaddle pickup. So if you don't want to remove the current electronics, it would be a much easier installation, if you went with the Lyric.
Hi, i have a problem regarding the Anthem mic pick up and my guitar and would hugely appreciate your advice.
I have an Ovation Celebrity CSE 24, and like most ovations it has a bridge plate pick up which also acts as a saddle.
I was looking to get the Anthem in hope to drill another input jack and install the system whilst keeping the existing pick up i have, but im not sure if the transducer that is illustrated to fit under the saddle in the Anthem manual will be able to fit under my guitars bridgeplate pick up/saddle, and if not is there anything i can do as the pick up is metal and im unable to sand it down as the installation manual suggests?
Thanks alot
Junior Member

This week will be cooler and a bit stormier than last week. Today will be the last mild day before a return to reality, although temperatures will still remain above the normal high of 40 degrees for most of the week.
A dense fog advisory is in effect until 7 a.m. this morning. Keep it slow on the roads and leave plenty of distance between you and the car in front of you.
Today could end up being the warmest day of this milder stretch of weather. We should end up in the upper 50s for a high before a cold front moves through later on.
We'll still see plenty of clouds around like we did all weekend, and there will also be a few rain showers but the day will certainly not be a washout. More showers will move through overnight tonight, and these showers could be in the form of snow, sleet, or freezing rain for areas north and west of I-95. For the rest of us, the precipitation will be plain rain.
Any shower activity will get out of here Tuesday morning, yielding a mostly cloudy and cooler day with a high in the lower half of the 40s. Be sure to watch out for slick spots on the roadways during the morning commute if you'll be traveling in the northwest suburbs of Philadelphia.
A weak disturbance passing through on Wednesday could bring a few rain or snow showers to the area, most likely during the first half of the day. Otherwise, expect plenty of clouds and another damp day.
High pressure will take over by Thursday and remain over our region through the weekend. This means the weather will be pretty quiet during this time. By Sunday, we could be dealing with more mild weather with temperatures making a run at 50 degrees.
Be sure to check out Phillyweather.net for updated forecasts!

TRAVERSE CITY — With just a week to go until its premiere at the State Theatre, Aaron Dennis was putting the finishing touches on his film, "The People and the Olive."
The documentary, which follows local nonprofit On the Ground's Run Across Palestine to shed light on the daily realities of West Bank olive farmers, will show at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 10, at the theater.
It's one of two local films that will premiere at the State in the next few days. The other, a newly restored 1940s film from Traverse City called "We're In the Movies," makes its debut at 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 8 as part of the History Center of Traverse City's Heritage Days.
"The People and the Olive" is a "message of hope and peace and cross-cultural connections," said Dennis, who created the film with Leelanau County native and journalist Jacob Wheeler. The pair traveled to Palestine in February with local Jewish-American musician Josh Davis and local runners including On the Ground founder Chris Treter to capture the runners on a 129-mile marathon across the West Bank over five days to raise awareness about the struggles of Palestinian fair trade olive farmers.
Olives are the lifeblood of Palestinian farmers, yet under Israeli military occupation the farmers are denied access to nearly 30 percent of their olive trees in the West Bank, according to the film. The film juxtaposes the barriers the farmers face to harvest their land against the barriers the runners faced — from walls to arrests — to run across the war-torn region.
"I hope it inspires people to help this cause and On the Ground and also that it helps foster peace," said Dennis, whose Stone Hut Studios production company works to create "films for a better world."
"Usually when people hear the word, 'Palestine' or 'Palestinian' they don't know what it is. It just means 'conflict.' I hope this opens people's eyes that we're all the same no matter where we are in the world," Dennis said.
A Q&A session with the film team, Run Across Palestine runners and special guest Nasser Abufarha will follow the screening. Abufarha is founder of the Palestine Fair Trade Association, which supported the run. Davis, of Steppin' In It fame, will perform before the show.
"We're In the Movies" was restored over a period of about three years, said project coordinator Dennis Kent, a volunteer with the History Center of Traverse City.
The 16 mm film was created as a fundraiser for the Exchange Club and was shot in January 1940. Back then, the region was recovering from the Great Depression, dial telephones were being installed in homes and the median male income was $956 a year.
The professionally produced film features local scenes and people of the time, such as young businessman, civic leader and future mayor Julius Sleder and school superintendent Glenn Loomis, in a talent show-style "competition."
"I think the audience is going to be most interested in the people who are going to flash across the screen, if they're from the area, whether it's an aunt or uncle or grandpa or grandma," said Kent, who received an $8,000 grant from the National Film Preservation Foundation to help restore the film. "Of all the people we've been able to identify in the film, only one is still around. It's a bygone year, an interesting shot of some of the businesses around town, some who are still around.
"Then there's the old cars, the fashions, the women in salons getting their hair done in pin curls, the snow on the street, the Christmas decorations still out. It's really quite a time capsule," Kent said.
The film was researched with the help of seniors at retirement facilities and restored with assistance from students in the Northwestern Michigan College Visual Communications program, who designed materials and enhanced the DVD production with captions, titles and a music bed.
"We wanted as many people as possible to be involved in the film. That was the intent of the original film back in 1940," Kent said.
Tickets for the screening are $5 at the door or at the History Center on Sixth Street. Following the show the center will sell DVDs of the film, which include a booklet about the film and Traverse City in 1940. A bonus track on the DVD includes a short, restored amateur film of the 1939 National Cherry Festival.
Tickets for "The People and the Olive" are $8 for adults, $7 for seniors and $6 for children and students at Higher Grounds, Oryana and the State Theatre box office or online at StateTheatreTC.org. Proceeds will go toward scholarships for the October Great Lakes Bioneers conference.

ALBANY — The Legislature's top Republican is suggesting Western New York and New York City could be the locations for where the state will lose two of its congressional seats in the redistricting process raging on behind closed doors at the Capitol.
Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos said talks are intensifying between the GOP-led Senate and Democratic-controlled Assembly to try to produce a deal for New York's 27 congressional district boundaries under the once-a-decade reapportionment exercise. ... Read more
