In Colombia, A Second Round but a Disappointing Finish
by Charles Lemos, Sun May 30, 2010 at 07:36:28 PM EDT
With 99.1 percent of the results in and no candidate achieving the required 50 percent plus one to claim the presidency, Colombia will head to a second round run off on June 20th. Juan Manuel Santos of the pro-Uribe Partido de la U came in first with a surprisingly strong 46.57 percent of the vote. The Green party candidate Antanas Mockus finished second but disappointingly won only 21.47 percent of the vote.

|Juan Manuel Santos
|Partido de la U
|Antanas Mockus
|Partido Verde
|Germán Vargas Lleras
|Cambio Radical
|Gustavo Petro
|Polo Democrático
|Noemí Sanín
|Rafael Pardo
I'm still digesting the news feed but at first glance a few observations. Only 14,722,186 Colombians voted out of 29,938,279 eligible. Once again indifference seems the big winner. Mockus finished poorly, the question is why did he underperform polling by some 15 points. Vargas Lleras, a dissident Liberal, did much better than expected more than doubling his expected vote tally. While he performed well in the debates, so did the leftist Gustavo Petro who finished a disappointing fourth. For the long dominant Conservatives and the Liberals, these results confirm a longer-term trend of political decline.
More Thoughts and Numbers
In looking at the results, and there is no exit polling to speak of so by results I mean what the Colombian electoral board releases, there are some striking numbers. Santos won all but two provincial capitals and most surprisingly Santos won in Bogotá by a 13 point margin (40 to 27 percent). Bogotá had been expected to go heavily for Mockus. Mockus won in Tunja where the Green party has its strongest organizational base and in Mocoa, the capital of the Putumayo department, on the Ecuadorian border. These were expected. Surprisingly the Greens failed to carry the Pacific coast where Mockus had campaigned heavily. Mockus came close in a number of departmental capitals such as Manizales and my hometown of Cali but he fared poorly on the Atlantic coast where Santos and Vargas Lleras did exceptionally well.
Mockus did well with the overseas vote winning across Europe and the Asia-Pacific. However Santos took 70 percent of the vote from Colombians living in the US. Still the number of expat Colombians who vote represents a small fraction of the electorate. Only 88,737 Colombians living abroad voted even though 415,000 were registered.
The number that jumps out is the abstention rate of 51 percent, a slight improvement over 2006 when 55 percent failed to vote but nonetheless a major disappointment. We were really expecting 16 million to vote out of 29 million eligible voters. Less than 15 million turned out to vote. Without hard data to pour over, it's difficult to draw definitive conclusions but I suspect that the number of first time voters failed to materialize. Indifference is the enemy of democracy in Colombia.
As per voting buying, that's a fact of life in Colombia and a practice that goes back decades. The reports that I have seen so far suggest massive voting buying in the rural parts of Cauca, Antioquia and the rural outskirts of Bogotá. I haven't seen any reports as yet but the Atlantic coast is another area where vote buying is prevalent. If this election followed previous ones then perhaps one in five votes was bought. The going rate is around $50 USD with lunch and other sundries included.
Looking at the Second Round
For Mockus, it is going to be a tough haul to overcome a 25 point deficit but the second round is a first past the post run off and many, if not most, of those who voted for Vargas Lleras, Petro and Pardo will gravitate towards Mockus. For Mockus, the imperative is to focus on what propelled him into the hearts of millions, his message of sanctity of life, an uncompromising adherence to legality and an unyielding intolerance of corruption. Mockus did not do well in the debates in part because he comes off as too thoughtful and perhaps meandering. He'll need to sharpen his answers but beyond this Mockus just needs to be Mockus the philosophical and moralizing agent of Colombian rejuvenation.
[UPDATE] I was pouring over the data from the overseas vote and I'm dumbfounded by the wide divergence in the vote of the Colombian diaspora. Mockus won the vote in Australia, in Japan, in China, in South Africa, in every single European country and in most of the Americas with three exceptions: Bolivia, Venezuela and the United States. Santos took 70 percent of the vote from Colombians living in the US. It must be the water.

Classic Rajasthan, April 2014
Suzan Yalcin
I went on this trip because I don't want to travel alone. The group consisted of five couples and I wasn't even warned about this when I booked. I was the 11th person to book so all the couples were already booked and the advisor could have suggested another date as had been done for one of the couples I was tour with. They had considered a different date and their advisor had told them that the date of this trip might be more suitable as there were other mature couples. I was disappointed about this. India is a very confronting and challenging country. It was very difficult for me being the only healthy young single person to experience this alone. Anant was amazing. I think I might have come back early if it wasn't for him which would have been a shame as I enjoyed Udaipur.

India is a country of sharp contrasts. I like that Intrepid captures both through visiting both main sites but also allowing an insight into real life through visits to smaller villages etc Bhagirath was a great tour leader who was very patient and caring. As an added bonus, in having two different tour leaders with very different backgrounds provided a great and interesting way to learn about the different cultures of India.

Tornado Won't Stop Inaugural Paulding Air Show
It's been seven months since a powerful tornado ripped through Northwest Georgia.
Paulding County was the hardest-hit, where more than 160 homes were damaged or destroyed.
The storm also caused millions of dollars of damage to the county's new airport, leaving some questioned whether its inaugural air show, scheduled for this month, would go forward.
Recently, WABE's Jim Burress sat down with "Salute America 2012 Air Show" committee members Darren Callahan and Kerry Tidmore. He began by asking if it ever got to the point where air show leaders thought they'd have to scrap their plans.

Antique and vintage vendors from East Marion to Farmingville set up shop at on Saturday for the 30th annual antique show, a fundraiser for society.
Diane Boone and Barbara Amrkein of in Jamesport said that books and historic postcards were big sellers this year as opposed to bigger ticket items.
Book collector Gianna Volpe was stoked to have found historic prints of some of her favorite classic books — "Wuthering Heights," "The Last of the Mohicans," and "Robinson Crusoe."
"I've read them all, I just really love the animations in these," she said.
William and Nilda Plonski, owners of East Marion's Willy-Nilly antiques, said that sterling silver was selling well during their first go at the Mattituck show.
"The bracelets seem to be moving well," said William, a former history teacher-turned antique dealer. William and his wife have been collecting historic knic-knacks like bottle openers, dolls — like a Russian "nesting doll" featuring U.S. presidents from Jimmy Carter to Bill Clinton going for $45 — and many historic books and documents.
"We go to yard sales, garage sale and hit a few auctions," William said. "The goodies always seem to be at the bottom of the box."

Solar project not coming; would have created about 150 jobs in Halifax County
- Last Updated on 02:06 PM 05/13/12
- BY The Gazette-Virginian
Plans to develop a pilot demonstration facility for solar power generation and battery storage in the county have been cancelled, according to Jim Norvelle, a spokesman for Dominion Virginia Power.
In June 2010, the Halifax County Industrial Development Authority (IDA) and Dominion Power announced plans for the proposed facility that was expected to generate about four megawatts of power and be the largest integrated solar-battery facility in Virginia.
Norvelle confirmed cancellation of the project on Friday and said development of this type of solar powered project will not occur anywhere else in Virginia.
He blamed the project's cancellation on failure to get a battery storage manufacturer involved.
"There were extensive delays in the program. These unexpected delays made the battery storage technology unavailable for use in the solar power project, and we're very disappointed," he said.
Norvelle said local officials were notified of the project's cancellation late last year.
"We're just really disappointed that it didn't work out. Dominion Virginia Power and local officials did everything possible to make it work out, but we just couldn't change the timing dilemma," said Halifax County Industrial Development Authority Interim Executive Director Patsy Vaughan on Friday.
Back in 2010 in an effort to make the project feasible, Dominion announced it had reached an agreement with a battery storage manufacturer to maximize the benefits of this unique project for the county.
The project had three entities working together to make it happen:
• Dominion, which estimated it would invest $27.9 million on the project;
• The unnamed manufacturer, which would have supplied and manufactured the batteries; and
• The University of Virginia, which would have worked with both Dominion and the manufacturer through its Center for Electrochemical Science and Engineering and its Department of Systems Engineering to conduct all its research related to this project in the county.
The IDA and Dominion had planned to submit a $5 million grant proposal to the Virginia Tobacco Commission's Research and Development Fund to help fund the project.
The construction of the solar panel site had been expected to create approximately 100 jobs, and the battery manufacturing facility was expected to create about 150 jobs over a 36-month period.
The battery storage company, which remained unnamed for competitive reasons, had engineered a green battery and coupled it with an environmentally friendly chemistry for alternative energy power management and storage solutions.
In addition to batteries for energy, the manufacturer, in conjunction with the University of Virginia, had planned to work on a family of battery products for power storage in several other rapidly growing billion-dollar industries.
Neither the location for the solar facility nor the manufacturing plant had been chosen at the time of the June 2010 announcement.
The solar facility would have required a space of 30 to 50 acres, industrial development officials said, and the 70,000 square feet manufacturing plant had planned to locate in an existing building in the county.
The solar powered project in Halifax was the only one of its kind on which Dominion was working at the time.
On Friday, Norvelle said Dominion is now working on a different kind of solar project – this one involving 30 megawatts of power – that will be located on commercial large rooftops in scattered locations across the state.

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Packers' Grant has (very) brief, 'Pro Bowl' debut
Green Bay --- The cameo was fleeting. Ryan Grant touched the ball once in Green Bay's 27-20 win over Detroit Sunday night. But he made the carry count.
Tight end Tom Crabtree, left tackle Marshall Newhouse and left guard Evan Dietrich-Smith opened up a gaping hole in the Lions' defense and -- on his 30th birthday -- Grant sliced through it for a 13-yard gain.
Hawaii, here he comes.
"I guess my average is pretty good right now," said Grant, smiling. "So I'll take that. I don't know. Think that average will get me into the Pro Bowl?"
Coach Mike McCarthy said before Sunday's game that Grant would be reassimilated gradually. That was the case in his first game back as Alex Green and DuJuan Harris combined for 20 carries. On Sunday, the Packers were cautious with Grant. Eventually, Grant may be an ideal cold-weather complement. He has historically had a lot of success against the Chicago Bears, too. In seven games against the Bears, Grant has rushed for 640 yards on 125 carries (5.1 avg.) with five touchdowns.
How all these backs fit together remains to be seen, but there's a good chance Grant receives more than one carry in Round 2.
"I know Ryan Grant just had the one carry, but it was good to have those guys back," McCarthy said. "It's a little tougher when you're in the no-huddle, but we have some packages and a number of things we didn't get to tonight. I feel very good about those three guys."Grant says there are "wrinkles here and there" but he's familiar with the offense overall. Not much has changed. Except for the fact that these Packers, unlike the 2011 version, have been leaning on the run.
Seven runs in a row isn't something Grant experienced much in his four full seasons with the Packers.
"It's not necessarily what I'm used to but I appreciate it, I think all the backs appreciate it," Grant said. "And if you ask the linemen, the linemen appreciate it. They like to run the ball. So it's good. If you can build on it, it builds confidence in the guys. Everybody's excited. It's something we can take into next week."
On his one carry, Grant said he was concerned most about ball security and picking his feet up. He said he knew he'd make the right read because his timing is still there. Grant added that he didn't need to prove anything to himself or others.
Still, he received a huge ovation from the Lambeau Field crowd after the run. And on the sideline, Grant joked that "you would have thought I scored."
"I didn't but guys were just excited," Grant said. "And being back in the mix again, I can build on that. Of course I know I can run. So I'm not worried about that. Not every run's going to be like that. If it is, that's awesome. We'll build on that."

Packers getting back to emphasizing the run...MM is always ahead of the curve. Defenses adjust to stopping the pass game...MM adjusts to counter. Go ahead, defenses, adjust back to stopping the run. Dare ya.Hide replies
They WILL stop the run and force Rodgers to throw the ball, oh oh defensive coordinators.
Nice to see the old guy back (This coming from a 72-year-old). Still think his receiving and protection experience would make him a perfect third down back.Hide replies
Grant has never been known as a great receiving back because it doesn't suit his running style.
He needs two to three steps to get up to speed, and then essentially is a one cut back. Not a lot of style points there, but can be effective, especially as the weather turns. Essentially it's one zig, and then one zag.
Great receiving backs are usually quicker and with more hip action. The can juke, and then go from zero to sixty in two steps. That's how receiving backs turn a 5 yard pass into a 30 yard gain.
And that is not Ryan Grant.
Yes, Grant is a one cut and go....and has to be accounted for because he can hit you for a bunch of on a single run and needs to be defended a bit tighter when on the field. That alone helps to pull up backers and weakens the cover two a bit.
But so does a 5 yard average by Green and that silver bullet Harris. The despair of Starks announced injury is mostly faded!
P Man- great observation. And I'm sure you recognize this component too but another key is hands. A lot of these college backs aren't spending much time improving their hands to be pass-catchers. Really not many in history are great pass-catchers as far as all-time great RBs go either. Tomlinson at his prime was a treat and of course Marshall Faulk. Tons of RBs have speed but can't catch.
Also, some of the lumbering backs can be effective in space (it's not only hyper-twitch speed backs) in the passing game. Stephen Jackson is pretty solid and brings a great balance of skills w/o great speed to be effective in the passing game.
I always thought Grant's #1 problem was just not having sure hands.
Sitting in the stands last night, as the momentum shift was on....it was a fine moment when Ryan trotted to the huddle to a standing ovation.
It was even finer when he trotted off it to an even louder standing O after his nice run.
On a related note, you can see why the Team was ranting and raving about that Harris kid and his time on the PS while playing on the scout team.
And who was that #20 fella?? Starting to again enjoy runners named "Green"!
I'm still trying to figure out why Grant wasn't back to begin with. He was the best back they had last year. 30 is up there for a running back but Grant doesn't have that much mileage on him. Great to see him last night.Hide replies
because cedric benson was better.
Did they give him a locker with the other active players?
Grant will provide quality back up, but I'm more interested to see what Harris can do. With his reported speed, he could really help us as a change of pace/third down back. Would like to see what he could do in a dome on a fast field. And we also need to find someone else to return punts/kicks and keep Cobb healthy.
Gotta admit it was nice to see Grant have success on his only carry, after that I was expecting a few more. Oh Well, just so he and the other two backs are ready for Da Bears, slow down the pass rush, and let A-Rod work the receivers! Damn, I'm drooling!
Good to have Grant back. He knows the plays and good insurance if another back gets hurt.
Once again, the Packers are facing a glut of playmakers. When Nelson gets back, they will have five WR's and three RB's (and a TE, I suppose) who can all make plays and score. Only one football, guys.....gotta wait yer turn.....
I disagree that the Packers should have signed him to begin with this year. He wasn't good enough for any of the 32 teams in the league. There has to be a reason for that.Hide replies
When a RB reaches the age of 30, many teams lose interest. That may or may not be a valid reason, as it depends on the individual RB. If Grant can perform consistantly well, then he will have proved everyone wrong about him. Also, teams often have the mentality that once they cut you, they won't ask you to come back....even if they really need you.

Register-Herald Sports Writer
Safety is a major concern at Beckley Motorsports Park.
The 3/8th-mile, high-banked dirt facility at Prosperity takes every precaution to protect drivers, fans and workers.
"I don't remember anyone getting hurt here, knock on wood," track manager Joe Jackson said. "I don't know if we've been lucky or if it's because we really take safety as a No. 1 priority."
Safety is on a lot of people's minds since there have been a flurry of deaths at dirt tracks the past month.
NASCAR driver Jason Leffler died Wednesday night at a facility in New Jersey.
Leffler, who had two career victories in the Nationwide series, was driving a winged sprint car at Bridgeport Speedway when he crashed into a wall.
Three other racers died last month in crashes in Indiana and Nevada, and two people died in a pit row crash in California in March.
Jackson, whose day job is as a state trooper, obviously knows bad accidents, and he does all he can to prevent them at BMP.
"We try our best, but things will happen," he said. "Last night shows how dangerous the sport really is.
"We've got guard rails that keep the cars, for the most part, within the confines of the race track.
"Before the season starts, we do a pre-inspection of all vehicles. We make sure everyone's helmets and safety belts are up to date.
"We also look at roll cages and make sure the welding is good quality. The guys around here police themselves on safety and they do a good job of it."
The Bradley-Prosperity Fire Department is always at every race, and Jan-Care provides an ambulance.
"If they're not on the property, we're not racing," Jackson said.
With the week's storms out of the way, it looks like beautiful nights for the track's biggest weekend of the year, a two-day Super Late Models show that will bring in top racers from throughout the east coast.
In addition to the regular races, the track will have a 30-lap qualifier tonight that pays $2,000 to win.
Saturday night is the 50-lap Black Gold 50, co-sponsored by Little General Stores.
"We'll pay $10,000 to win, and the total purse will be over $30,000," Jackson said. "We've got drivers coming in from Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky and North Carolina — they're the top of the food chain as far as Super Lates go."
Gates will open at 4 p.m., with racing to start at 7 p.m. both days.
Last week's racing was rained out.

NORMAN — The children of Jack and Anita Duncan honored them Saturday night with a reception for their 50th wedding anniversary.
Jack Duncan, of Altus, and Anita Pierce, of Martha, met at church in 1958. Anita was a freshman at Martha High School and Jack was a sophomore at Altus High School.
Jack finished his first year of college while Anita completed her senior year of high school before getting married.
The couple were married Oct. 6, 1962, at the First Baptist Church in Martha. The Rev. Keith Wiginton officiated.
Their first home was in Altus, where their sons were born. They spent one year in Alva, 35 years in Norman and the last seven years in Moore.
Jack retired after 30 years at Southwestern Bell Telephone Company. He worked another 17 years at a telecommunications consulting firm, retiring in 2008.
Anita's greatest achievement was being a stay-at-home mom.
After her sons were in college, she worked at Bed and Bath Boutique for a few years.
Jack enjoys his daily round of golf, yard work and writing poetry. Anita loves flower gardening, writing short stories of her family history and has taken Bible study fellowship classes for 10 years.
Some memorable trips for the couple include the Florida beaches with the entire family, golf resorts with friends and the south with its plantations, Civil War history, old cemeteries and architecture.
They are longtime members of Bethel Baptist Church, serving in many capacities over the years.
Their sons are David and wife Marla and Derrek and wife Cher, all of Norman. Grandchildren include Kathryn, Elizabeth, Taylor, Hailey, Cadyn and Trace.
The couple celebrated their anniversary with an Alaskan cruise in July and plan to go to New York City this month.

News Article
Last week an episode of Hannibal was pulled for sensitivity after the Boston Marathon bombings. This week, a Salt Lake City NBC affilliate has pulled the show altogether.
KSL TV in Salt Lake City, Utah, is owned by Bonneville International Corporation, a Mormon Church company. "After viewing the past few episodes, as well as receiving numerous complaints from viewers, KSL TV will cancel the airing of the NBC show Hannibal on Thursday evenings. This decision was made due to the extensive graphic nature of this show," read the post on the station's Facebook page. Frankly, I'm surprised it took them four episodes to pull the show if that was the reason.
Interestingly enough, this is the same station that also pulled The Playboy Club in 2011, and The New Normal in 2012. The former was pulled for its association with the Playboy name (not because the show was ridiculously terrible - it was canceled everywhere after three episodes); the latter because it was deemed "inappropriate on several dimensions." The New Normal focuses on a single mom who, looking to do something good with her life, becomes the surrogate for a gay couple. It is still on-air. Both of these shows were pulled before they ever hit the air, but it took them four episodes before they decided Hannibal was inappropriate.
On the upside for Hannibal, last week's unaired episode, "Ceuf," is available to purchase from iTunes.

At the Buffalo Airport today, it did not take long to find other Buffalonians headed for Carnegie Hall. Everyone was! That is a neat collage up above, by the way, that we admired on the Internet. The photo of BPO Music Director is by fashion photographer Cheryl Gorski. At left is Gliere, whose huge Symphony No. 3 the orchestra is performing on Wednesday night.
More than 24 hours before the concert, emotions are already running high. People were recalling the last time the BPO played Carnegie Hall, in 2004. We have some repeat attendees!
Joyce Wilson, for one, remembered the impromptu gathering that followed that concert almost a decade ago.
"People were lining up to see JoAnn [Falletta]," she recalled. "She was saying hello to all of them." And she remembered the speech Falletta gave, congratulating the musicians on their performance. "She wasn't just crying," she said. "She was sobbing."
I remember that, too. There is something about Carnegie Hall, something about this atmosphere.
And this time around, with this big symphony, is sure to bring its own memories.
I am sure we will see drama Wednesday night.

The Chicago Blackhawks have hired former Canadiens, Senators and Ducks general manager Pierre Gauthier as their new director or player personnel.
Gauthier was fired by the Canadiens as GM on March 29 and eventually replaced by former Hawks assistant GM Marc Bergevin. Prior to working in Montreal, Gauthier was GM with the Senators and Ducks.
The 59-year-old Gauthier has been attending the Hawks' prospect camp in Chicago this week and watched from the stands while seated next to Hawks head coach Joel Quenneville as players went through drills Tuesday.

Any plans to put some docks on the river to allow boaters to dine?Hide replies
No, boaters will not be allowed to dine there. JUST KIDDING.!!! Actually, I don't know about the costs, but, that would be a great idea. How large of a boat can get that far up river.????
pretty big. if the train bridge is open by second street. but it never is -so you need to duck to get into the menomenee river. if they left that bridge open- it would open a lot of possibilities on that river.
Hopefully the prices won't be too outrageous and the the food will be good.

Before the x-treme team arrives, hide toy skateboards around the yard. Once the party has started, send the players on a hunt to find all the toys. After the boards have been recovered, add one to each of your guests' treat bags.
If you are hosting your party at a skate park, give each of your guests a chance to showcase their sick skills. For those that are newbs to boarding or BMX, let them be spectator "judges". A freestyle heat will get them warmed up. Once the real jam session starts, take notes on who is the most original, fastest, raddest, most intense, etc. Award prizes for each category.
Create a game play area that is large enough to hold all of your guests (Pro-planner Tip: A basketball court works great for smaller parties! It provides a designated area and a smooth flat surface for safer riding). Begin by appointing the birthday boy as "it" and have him move his bike outside of the game area (he will be on foot to help prevent injury during tagging). The rest of the BMX-ers will ride around inside of the game area, trying to avoid the "it" player. The object of the game is for the "it" player to tag out all of the rad racers. The last player to be tagged will start the next game as "it".
Using a playground or an empty parking lot as your designated area, build an obstacle course that fits your guests' skill level. For beginners, a simple cone creation may be just the ticket. However, more advanced riders will have graduated to ramps and rails. Once the players have gotten a feel for the layout, give them each 3 heats to get the best time. The fastest player wins a prize.
Bake the brownies according to package directions. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into rectangles that measure approximately 1" x 3". This will be the board deck. Add the "axels" by pushing a toothpick, horizontally, through the center of the brownie (one in front and one in back). Finish the skateboard brownie by pressing a mini Oreo onto each toothpick's point. Decorate the deck top by piping the guest of honor's initials or age with cake gel.
Preheat oven to 350° F. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Combine the ground beef and onion soup mix in a large skillet, and cook over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink. Drain any excess grease and remove from heat. Stir the mayonnaise and cheeses into the ground beef mixture. Lay the dinner roll bottoms on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the beef mixture onto the dinner roll bottoms. Replace the tops and cover the sliders with another sheet of aluminum foil sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for approximately 30 minutes. Serve with sliced pickles (optional).
Grind up the Oreo cookies in your blender (Pro-planner Tip: Put the Oreo cookies in the freezer overnight. This makes the cookies easier to grind in the blender the next day). Make the pudding according to the package directions and combine it with a tub of whipped topping. In an 8x8 baking dish, begin layering the crushed cookies and pudding mixture (be sure to end with a cookie layer). After the layers have been made, add the toy motocross bikes on top of the "dirt".
Mix all the ingredients together and chill for at least 4 hours. Serve in sports bottles for refreshment on the fly!

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Early Monday afternoon, Oklahoma's players gathered in their meeting room to watch the tape of the Notre Dame game. The final result was still fresh in their minds. Every player remembered what he'd done.
But the coaching staff wanted everyone to fully understand how well the Sooners' receivers had played. Everybody remembered Sterling Shepard's and Lacoltan Bester's touchdown catches. They wanted every single player in the room to see the blocks they had all afternoon.
"They were killing 'em," OU safety Gabe Lynn said. "You saw it. They were killing guys on the outside."
Blocks like those are essential in the 11th-ranked Sooners' offense. They turn the short swing passes into big gains and toss sweeps into scoring threats. It all comes down to whether a receiver is willing to do something without the ball.
"(Receivers coach Jay) Norvell is usually on us about blocking. He talks about the early 2000 receivers, how they used to block, take control of the defensive backs," wide receiver Jalen Saunders said. "We're just trying to bring that style of play back into our offense."
The offensive style is different than in previous years. OU only had 238 receiving yards in the Notre Dame victory, but OU coach Bob Stoops called the performance by the receivers the best he can recall in a decade.
When OU is getting that kind of play from its receivers, it elevates the running game and can be inspiring.
Neither Saunders nor Shepard, who combined for 12 of OU's 23 receptions last Saturday and 132 of the receiving yards, are physically imposing. Both are shorter than 6-foot tall. Neither weighs more than 190 pounds.
"Those are our chicken fighters out there — Sterling and Jalen. They're not very big, but when they lock in and play hard, they can get the job done," Norvell said. "That was a big difference in the game from a year ago. We were more physical on the perimeter. We were more physical inside with our linemen. And we ran the ball more physically on our pass routes as well as our running plays."
Playing with that kind of tenacity can pay dividends for receivers.
Lynn knows it all too well.
"Little dudes like that that have attitudes just get on your nerves," he said. "Sometimes you'd rather have a big, slow dude because those little guys get on your nerves."
OU (4-0, 1-0 Big 12) hopes its receiver are in a feisty mood when it faces TCU (2-2, 1-0) at 6 p.m. Saturday at Owen Field.
The ability to run the ball has separated the Sooners from its previous four predecessors. They're averaging 5.7 yards per carry and are actually averaging more rushing yards than passing per game.
The receivers' willingness to block has played a major role.
"Most receivers want to catch the ball and get stats and all that. The reality is that 90 percent of the time they're not gonna have the ball in their hands," Norvell said. "How they play and how hard they play when they don't have the ball is really, really important."
The better OU runs the ball, the more opportunities that will open up down the field. Shepard's touchdown catch against Notre Dame was an unrivaled example.
Safeties were cheated up to stop the run. Shepard beat his man then had a clear path to the end zone. It was like OU spent three quarters setting it up.
"It's a mindset. We definitely had that and we've got to continue that," Norvell said. "It's got to be an every week thing."

This time I went to Vance & Hines based of recommendation and reputation. I will say I am very pleased with them now that I have them on the bike! Do note however, that installing these pipes on a dresser is no easy task! And would be almost impossible to do by yourself! The outer wall (heat shield) is not attached to the pipes out of the box. This is a step taken while installing. I will also add that just due to the nature of how a HD dresser is set up removing your stock exhaust and installing any new hardware would not be considered easy to begin with. So I will give half of the blame to HD! lol However, they are on the bike now and they are solid and sound great! In the end it...

The Newtonian Demonstrator, known today as the Newton's Cradle, is a device that demonstrates the laws of conservation of momentum and energy. The concept was demonstrated centuries ago in France and used by Sir Isaac Newton when he developed the laws of physics.
How the Newton's Cradle works
When the first ball strikes the row of balls, the impact produces a shock wave that travels through the metal balls at the speed of sound. The speed of sound through steel is much faster (4699 m/s) than through air (300 m/s). The time for the shock wave to travel the short distance through the balls is too small for human perception. Neither the momentum nor energy is perfect in efficiency. Energy is lost in the suspending wires, friction of the surrounding air, and sound (the clicking of balls). The momentum degrades with each swing until near the end of oscillation the intermediate balls are swaying.
We have had customers ask why the balls don't clack back and forth forever in perpetual motion. It's because of the energy loss with each impact. Since energy cannot be created or destroyed, there can never be a "net gain" of energy and therefore there cannot ever be a true "perpetual motion" device (note to self, make a perpetual motion device, sell it to the highest bidder, retire).
The largest Newton's Cradle is over 20 feet tall. It was designed by Chris Boden and is located at The Geek Group home base in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The monster Newtonian demonstrator is made up of 7 bowling balls weighting 15 pounds each. The bowling balls are attached to metal cables and hung from trusses in the ceiling of a warehouse. The suspension cables are 20 feet long and the bowling balls hang 3 feet from the floor.
Why a Newton's Cradle?Because they're fascinating to watch, make a cool sound, and provide kinetic entertainment without batteries! As it turns out, this little device has become among the most classic Desk Toys of all time. We sell tons of these (literally) and take them very seriously. If you want your own steel balls transferring energy at 4699 m/s, see our Newton's Cradles here.

Since we've entered "game week", it would make sense to highlight Michael Wiley or the great James Laughlin, 1979 team MVP.
Actually, since Jim's blocked punt in the 1979 MACh1gAAn game led to another loss by TTUN, and since we seem to be making a lot of friends from "bluer" websites, let's take day five in a different direction.
As in the last five versions of The Game:
2004- 37 to 21 Troy and Teddy lead to the upset of the #7 team in the nation.
2005- 25 to 21 "The Catch". Oh, and the amazing tackle by Shawn Crable on Ohio State's last score.
2006- 42 to 39 The Game of the Century. #1 vs. #2. Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith and the Buckeyes win again, with help from Morgan Trent and Shawn Crable.
2007- 14 to 3 All Beanie, All Day. Plus, Jake Long allows Chad Henne into the Gun Show that is Vernon Gholston.
2008- 42 to 7 Goodbye, Beanie. Hello, Boom and Terrelle.
Just think, if they hadn't been breaking all of those practice and training rules, they would have been shut out.
To be honest, the best thing about day five is that next year we'll be able to use this template for countdown day six.

Niagara Gazette — One of Niagara's Most Wanteds is no longer on the run.
Falls police finally caught up with Donald "D Block" Smith on Monday night, but not without a bit of a fight.
Acting on a tip, patrol officers, along with Falls police warrants officers and investigators from the Niagara County Sheriff's Office and the U.S. Marshals Service, spotted the felony fugitive in the area of 13th Street and Pierce Avenue.
"We'd had a couple of sighting in the past," Falls Police Detective Lt. Mike Trane said. "But he'd always run and we didn't have enough officers (in the area) to catch him."
When Officers Michael Badaloto and James Woomer first caught sight of Smith, as he had before, he began running. But this time, other officers along with deputies and marshals were nearby to help.
Badaloto chased Smith into the 1300 block alley of Lasalle Avenue, where he tackled the suspect. Smith began to fight with Badaloto but was then subdued by Warrants Officer Troy Earp.
Once he was in cuffs, Smith told officers he was ready to stop running.
"He said, 'I was gonna turn myself in tomorrow.'," Trane said. "I think we hear that more often then guys saying, 'I didn't do it."
Smith, 27, 2406 Lasalle Ave., was charged with 13 counts of failure to appear, two counts of second-degree bail jumping and five counts of third-degree bail jumping.
He had been sought in connection with several violent incidents including at least one domestic violence case.
In those instances, Smith was charged with two counts of first-degree criminal contempt, first-degree criminal sex act, second and third-degree assault, two counts of first-degree burglary, second-degree unlawful imprisonment, first-degree reckless endangerment, two counts of second-degree menacing,third-degree menacing, criminal obstruction of breathing, second-degree harassment, endangering the welfare of a child, and third-degree criminal mischief.
His attempts to avoid capture also netted Smith charges of second-degree obstructing governmental administration and resisting arrest.
In one of the cases involving Smith, he is accused of firing a gun at another man. Police had said Smith should be considered armed and dangerous.
"We were very happy to get this guy off the streets," Trane said.

Clippers-Hawks Preview
By JEFF BARTL
Posted Dec 03 2013 5:19PM
The Los Angeles Clippers are set to embark on the first of two seven-game road trips over the next two months, and they're clinging to an old clich: one game at a time.
The Clippers make their first stop on the trip Wednesday night against the Atlanta Hawks, who have lost five of six.
Los Angeles (12-6) will look to get back on track after its four-game winning streak ended with a 105-100 home loss to Indiana on Sunday. Jamal Crawford had 20 points off the bench, Blake Griffin scored 16 with 12 rebounds, and Chris Paul finished with 17 points and 10 assists for his 15th double-double.
Paul missed a pair of makable shots late, though.
"I had two great looks at the end," he said. "If I make one of those shots, it ties the game up and puts pressure on them, so I was mad and disgusted in myself because I got the shot that I wanted."
After facing the Hawks, the Clippers will visit Memphis, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Boston, Brooklyn and Washington before returning home.
Los Angeles, which opens another seven-game trip Jan. 17, is 4-4 on the road while averaging 100.5 points. The Clippers are 8-2 at home with a 111.2 scoring average.
"It's our job - C.P., myself and DeAndre (Jordan) - to keep reassuring everybody that we can't look ahead," Griffin told the team's official website. "Something that we always say about a road trip, 'You can't win them all without winning the first one,' so that's kind of the mindset that we have to have."
Griffin had 22 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists in the last meeting with Atlanta, though the Clippers fell on the road 104-93 on Nov. 24, 2012.
The Hawks (9-10) return home after losing 108-101 at Washington on Saturday and 102-100 at San Antonio on Monday. Jeff Teague scored 19 and Paul Millsap added 15 points and 14 rebounds against the Spurs.
"It's a very, very (tough loss)," Millsap said. "The effort was there, the effort was definitely there. Guys were out there in sync. So to get out there and lay it all out there and not come out with the victory is kind of tough."
Though Atlanta has struggled lately, it has scored at least 100 points in back-to-back games after averaging 89.7 over its previous seven.
"I'm proud of our guys. (Monday) was a very good effort," coach Mike Budenholzer said. "If we play that long and that hard in games, we're going to be OK. It's good for our guys to compete the way they competed."
The Hawks are allowing an average of 103.8 points over their last five, and they'll face another tough test with a Clippers offense that ranks among the best in the league with 106.4 per game.
Coach Doc Rivers elected to bring Crawford off the bench again Sunday despite him scoring a season-high 31 points in nearly 38 minutes as a reserve in Friday's win over Sacramento.
Regular starter J.J. Redick suffered a broken bone in his shooting hand and a ligament tear in his right elbow against the Kings and is expected to miss 6-8 weeks. Willie Green started Sunday and could do so again in this contest.
The Hawks have won four straight at home against the Clippers and six of the previous eight overall.
I hope the Clippers set the pace and not play down to the Hawks' level. This is very winnable.
That's my worry as well. I'm reminded of the Orlando, and Lakers game. Also, the game against Sacramento where we barely won. The Clippers need to apply pressure early, Paul needs to be the one setting the tone by scoring early as well. We don't have Reddick to hit those threes for us and keep us in the game in the first quarter.
We need him to fill that solid role he played last season. Gotta have faith.
They lost to the spurs by a game winning jumper. We can't sleep on them at all
I don't see us sleeping on anyone...playing down to anyone...or overlooking anyone on this trip. Because all teams on this trip are kinda sorry-to-mediocre. I think we'll play hard. I believe if we don't win, it's because of the disruptions the injuries have caused.
This could easily be a 7-0 road trip if the Clippers do not get lazy or play down competition.
Already dropped a couple of road games we shouldn't have. This trip could help bring that road record back where it needs to be.
Let's hope so. Tough thing is that after Atlanta we face the dirty bears. For those Clippers fans who are planning on watchng the game against Memphis you will also be treated to a UFC match courtesy of those cheap shot punks in Tennesse.
i have the feeling we gonna make this game a lot harder than it actually needs to be..
Hope not but it seems like we usually do when it should be easy and make the games that are tough easier than they should have been.
Really hoping reggie bullock can get some significant time in, he should really be able to dominate Kyle Korver or Lou Williams if they are guarding him.
The problem is many fans believe that because a teams record isn't good, that
somehow they are supposed to just get blown out.
This is the NBA and athletes are getting paid Millions so you can
expect games to be competitive even if the other team isn't
a playoff team.
Miami doesn't blow out every weaker opponent. In fact they
even lose some of those games.
Because any given game shots can fall one way and not
the other way.
With that being said I expect us to go at least 5-2 on this
road trip even with the injuries.
Where the Clips are right now, nothing is going to be easy. Hopefully we can go 5-2 on this trip.
If memory serves me right, we seemed to have a hard time in the ATL the last several years. This isn't going to be any different.
I remember there being a controversial call against Griffin on Horford when we played them at their arena. I can't remember exactly what happened, I just remember we got robbed.
Last Season Blake got a T on the bench in ATL! I was there! The past two seasons the Clippers have lost in ATL! I have been at both! I will not make it tonight so maybe I have been "Bad Luck"! So if we win tonight its gonna make me feel bad because I am "Bad Luck"
Does that mean you would rather we lost?
Think of it as you being good luck for the Hawks.
Isn't Kyle Korver back in the lineup? Isn't he one game from setting the record for consecutive games with atleast 1 3 made? I know wouldn't like records set on his team! I wonder what kind of defense he plans to throw at Kyle? Maybe some traps, double teams, some length like a Bullock or make him shoot over Griffin or Jordan? I'm looking forward to see how Doc plays that
LOL there wasn't a emoticon for tongue-in-cheek, so I thought I'd just say it cold.
Your memory is air tight. This will not be a cake walk and I really am not looking forward to the brawl coming up too. Who will the Jizzlies hurt now,as they sharpen their elbows.
But no looking ahead to the fight,gotta focus on tonight.
Doc just photobombed Domonique Wilkins and said "D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I don't know how many of you are watching the Hawks broadcasting! They also said try to turn Lob City into Sob City
I'm on the same broadcast unfortunately
Blake putting in work early, I like
Willie green is so bad....
DUD looks so sloppy and it seems like he out-thinks himself on passes. I haven't seen all that "b-ball iq" yet...
DJ is playing horrible...HORRIBLE.
Come on DJ
DJ sleeping on D.
**** DJ and Dudley ugh.
Take DJ the **** out!!!!!!
bad rebounds and bad shootings
0-4 so far yikes
I've been thinking about this for a while. I honestly think we might need to trade DJ. He can't make any fts. Shaq was a better ft shooter and he isn't the best partner to put next to blake. Pau Gasol would be perfect next to blake or someone like that
Nobody but Blake are hitting shots. Bad start.
DJ is breaking down the team defense. This is all on DJ. He lost at least 3 possessions alone by losing the ball. He can't play any worse....
DJ doesn't know how to protect the rim.
DJ caught sleeping again/
CP has woken up. About time.
Terrible start. DJ was the main reason for that poor start. Dudley was also awful.
idk how we do anything in the playoffs if Griffin and Jordan don't take a huge leap on defense. The team overall needs to improve bu now it seems teams targe them.
I have to admit my patience with Dudley is wearing thin. Hope Barnes gets healthy already so Dudley can sit on the bench until he is 100%.
This game feels like clippers could be winning easily but they are playing down to the hawks.
More DJ than Blake since that is DJ's primary job. He is not doing a satisfactory job as a defensive anchor. Our starting wings have been terrible this game too.
The bench has been better than the starters simce Jamison start playing.
We gotta get stops. Scoring with a team won't get a win
Wake the **** up!
DJ is second in the league in rebounding and 5th in blocks. To me his defense has been solid but his Rebounding the last 2 games have been horrid.

Textual criticism
Textual criticism is the attempt to piece together surviving fragments of manuscripts in order to represent accurately the original manuscript. Textual criticism of the Bible can start with the premise that the Bible is reliable history. It deals directly with the text, functioning as the analysis of ancient documents to determine at every point where scribal copying has produced differences. Lower or textual criticism is crucial and foundational to not just historical methods but also literary criticism as well. As is the case with any ancient document, none of the original autographs for the Old Testament remain - or if they do, we are not aware that they are the originals. It is possible that some particularly ancient fragments of the New Testament may in fact be fragments of the original autographs, given their age. Hence, textual criticism strives to determine which copies of the Old Testament are the most faithful to the original autographs, and which manuscripts of the New Testament are either original or at least faithful and correct to the original autographs.
Transitional form
A transitional form is a living or fossilized organism that is believed to be an evolutionary link between two distinct groups. This is suggested when the organism possesses characteristics that uniquely belong to different taxa, or when fossils exhibit traits that are considered primitive in comparison to living varieties. When we examine living populations, there is a clear distinction between various plants and animals, which has allowed us to classify them into taxonomic groups. Since evolution via random mutations must occur at an extremely slow and gradual rate, we should find a continuous series of intermediate fossils that illustrate the transition from one type of organism to another if this theory is valid. The sheer absence of these transitional forms is the most reiterated empirical evidence against evolution. In this arena quotes from honest evolutionists are numerous decrying the state of the fossil record.
Gravity is a force which pulls together objects with mass. The modern gravitational theory was first proposed by Sir Isaac Newton in 1687. As one of the four natural fundamental forces, gravity is responsible for many of the universe's incredible qualities. It deals with general relativity, black holes, white holes, changes in tide, the relationship between space and time, and wavelengths of light. Although it may not be a major part of many topics, gravity plays a minor role in many of them to some degree. For example the curvature of space and the orbiting of the planets around the sun are all due to the consistency gravity has within the universe. When God created the universe he set forth ordinances for both the heavens and the earth to abide by, and they have remained consistent as seen through many experimentations and in every day life..

Dinosaurs are a diverse group of extinct reptiles best known for the varieties that reached enormous sizes. They included both carnivores (meat eaters), such as the monstrous Allosaurs that reached 40 ft in length, as well as herbivores (plant eaters) like Diplodocus that may have exceeded 115 ft. Dinosaurs are found in abundance in the fossil record due to the size and durability of their bones. Most creation scientist interpret the existence of such fossils to mean that the organisms were alive at the time of the global flood, which is described in the Biblical book of Genesis. Furthermore, because the text says that all land animals were placed on Noah's ark, the dinosaurs would also have been included, and therefore, became extinct sometime after the flood.

Mount St. Helens
Mount St. Helens is an active volcano in Washington State, USA (the most active in the Cascade Range). The most recent series of eruptions began in 1980 when a large landslide and powerful explosive eruption created a large crater, and ended 6 years later after more than a dozen extrusions of lava built a dome in the crater. Larger, longer lasting eruptions have occurred in the volcano's past and are likely to occur in the future. Although the volcano seems to have returned to a period of quiet, scientists closely monitor Mount St. Helens for signs of renewed activity.
