New WWE signee Sami Callihan wrestled one of his last indy matches at Pro Wrestling Guerrilla's "Is Your Body Ready?" event yesterday. Callihan lost a 60 minute Iron Man match against his long time rival Adam Cole for The PWG World Title.
Following the match, the PWG roster came out to congratulate him on his signing to WWE, similar to the send off they gave El Generico. Kevin Steen jokingly told Callihan to "Say hello to the other Sami," referring to El Generico working as Sami Zayn in NXT. Callihan then went on to put over the PWG crowd and the PWG roster.

With the exception of Apple, which brings fanboys out in droves to line up for the introduction of every new model of iPhone, redesigns don't often get a lot of attention. That's particularly true at CES, where there are plenty of brand new products to catch the attention of journalists and buyers.
Last night, however, two redesigns of familiar products caught my attention.
First, I spotted Novatel's MiFi 2 hotspot. You are likely familiar with MiFi, a mobile device you can buy from your cellphone provider to create an instant hotspot for wireless online access. It's been around for a while. The MiFi 2, is a definite improvement, both in look and in function. The touchscreen serves up all sorts of useful data, including critical data usage stats. Pricing depends on carrier and contract.
And then there was BodyMedia's bluetooth armband, a wearable computer that monitors motion, temperature, and other factors of health and activity . You would have had to been an extremely devoted fitness geek to think that wearing the somewhat clunky first generation BodyMedia armband was a good idea, but the new, much smaller, version, the Core2, will likely have broader appeal. At least it appealed to me. Pricing hasn't been set, but BodyMedia representatives said they expect it to cost about the same as the first generation product, listing at roughly $120.

KIEV, Aug 27 (Reuters) - A group of Russian soldiers have crossed the Ukrainian border in armoured infantry carriers and trucks and entered the eastern town of Amvrosiyivka, a Ukrainian military spokesman said on Wednesday.
The spokesman, Andriy Lysenko, said that in fighting in the towns of Horlivka and Ilovaysk further north, government forces had killed about 200 separatists and destroyed tanks and missile systems.
He said 13 Ukrainian service personnel had been killed in the past 24 hours and 36 had been wounded. (Writing by Richard Balmforth; Editing by Mark Trevelyan)

Do your really believe these socks can be knit in 2 hours or less? This is a bit disingenuous and can/will result in many people feeling frustrated and inadequate when they find it takes many more hours than 2.

I couldn't think of a more fitting title for this group of seven stories. "We're in Trouble," by Christopher Coake will make you hold your breath from the tension and will claw at you with its brave glare at death.
The title story is a group of three shorter stories with characters all haunted by death--either the impending death of a loved one, or the death of a stranger.
"Cross Country" tells two stories in one: a boy is traveling back east with his father and at a truck stop he sees another boy in a truck. The boy is disturbed by what he thinks is a boy in trouble. Coake then tells the story of the boy in the truck. Coake does this so brilliantly the reader doesn't quite know what to make of the situation right up until the end.
"Solos," is the story of one man's obsession with climbing and the affects it has on his family.
"In the Event," is a heartbreaking story of a young man on the night he learns his best friends have died in a car crash and left him in charge of their three-year-old son.
"A Single Awe," tells of the one event that holds a tenuous marriage together.
In "Abandon," a young couple breaks into a cabin on the Upper Peninsula. One of them is sure she wants to choose her own death and the other is an ex-con. They're unprepared for the cold weather and storm that hits and for the emotional ride of love.
The last one, "All Through the House," if I could have read it with my hand over my eyes I would have. It's the story of a house that once held a tradegy: a man kills his family. But Coake skillfully layers information so that the whole picture sneaks up on the reader and is not without surprises.
If you're not afraid of the scary places in the lives of people, and I'm not talking about ghosts or the supernatural, this is a must read. Coake writes with one eye on the ugly and one eye on the beautiful until the reader can't tell which is which.

Apple demands sanctions after Samsung leaks evidence to press
Apple has accused Samsung of 'polluting the jury' after it leaked information to the press it claims shows that the iPhone's design was based on Sony products.
Samsung's snipe has not gone down well with presiding judge Lucky Koh, who has asked the South Korean firm's legal team to explain who drafted the statement and who authorised it to be released to the press.
The mobile giant insists it has done nothing wrong with regard to the high-profile trial against Apple currently taking place in San Jose, California, however, as the information was already in the public domain.
Samsung said: 'Contrary to the representations Apple's counsel made to this court, Samsung did not issue a general press release and more importantly, did not violate any court order or any legal or ethical standards.
'Samsung's brief statement and transmission of public materials in response to press inquiries was not motivated by or designed to influence jurors.
'The members of the jury had already been selected at the time of the statement and the transmission of these public exhibits, and had been specifically instructed not to read any form of media relating to this case.'
Apple's legal team hit back: 'Mr Quinn's declaration does not address two of the court's questions: who drafted the statement and who released it.
'Samsung's multiple references to the jury in its statement make plain its intent that the jurors in our case learn of arguments the court has excluded through the press.'
Apple's lawyer Harold McElhinny told a jury on the opening day of the patent trial that Samsung 'has copied the entire design and user experience' of the iPhone and iPad.
Apple designer Christopher Stringer added that he was upset when he saw Samsung's Galaxy products on the market.
'We've been ripped off, it's plain to see. It's offensive,' he said.
Apple lawyers argue there is almost no difference between Samsung products and its own, and the South Korean company's internal documents show it copied Apple's designs and interface.
Samsung counter-claims that Apple copied its iPhone from Sony and is using some of its own inventions without payment, such as a computer chip at the heart of the iPhone.
Samsung's lawyer Charles Verhoeven said it employs thousands of designers and spends billions of dollars on research and development to create products.
Apple is like many other companies that use similar technology and designs for phones and other devices that play music and movies and take photographs, Mr Verhoeven added.
For example, he said, several other companies and inventors have filed patent applications for the rounded, rectangular shape associated with Apple products.
'Everyone is out there with that basic form factor,' Mr Verhoeven said.
'There is nothing wrong with looking at what your competitors do and being inspired by them.'
A victory for Apple in the California trial, which started on Tuesday, could see Samsung's Galaxy products banned from the US market.
But a verdict in Samsung's favour, especially if Apple is ordered to pay its asking price for certain transmission technology, could lead to higher prices for Apple products.

Ben Stiller is no stranger to sequels.
Fresh off the dual successes of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa and Tropic Thunder, his decade-in-the-making passion project about a group of coddled actors lost in the jungles of Laos, he was already set to reprise his starring role in Night at the Museum, with a sequel due in May 2009. And though Stiller has confirmed plans for a third installment of his Meet the Parents saga – no surprise there, given its sustained success at the box office – he recently admitted that he'd like to bring back a character whose appeal proved more elusive the first time around: Derek Zoolander, the titular hero of his 2001 satire about the witless world of male models.
"I've been trying to get Zoolander 2 together and we've had a few scripts," he tells WENN. "That is the sequel I really would like to do some day because I like the original and I would make sure it was something new and worthy of it first."
Although Stiller acknowledges that Zoolander's return is still years away because of the lack of a finished script, he reports that the project is closer to production now than it has ever been, which can only be good news for fans of Blue Steel, freak gasoline-fight accidents and fashion mogul Mugatu, inventor of the piano-key necktie.
Speaking of potential returns, Sylvester Stallone is set to resurrect John Rambo for the second time in two years, thanks to Rambo's surprisingly strong showing last winter. Although the 62-year-old muscleman vowed to retire his traumatized Vietnam vet after the last go-round – "I can't go any further," he said at the time – Lionsgate's schedule of projects in development includes Rambo 5.
"Rambo hopefully will be back," Stallone recently told TMZ. "We've just got to give you a story that's worthwhile."
Whether that story will include the gang of white supremacists Rambo was purportedly gearing up to extinguish in the fourth installment (before deciding to manhandle Burmese insurgents instead) is anybody's guess. Osama bin Laden is still out there if Rambo feels like helping Barack Obama clean up the universe – though America's foremost fictional freedom-fighter doesn't have much use for politics.
Finally, Choke will return to theaters for two nights at the Red Vic Movie House starting Dec. 9. If you missed Clark Gregg's endearingly flawed and diabolically funny take on Chuck Palahniuk's novel about emotionally stunted sex addicts, here's your second chance. Take it.

text: ""Mario's going to take responsibility for what he does, but everybody has to remember Mario's a rookie, three games into it," said defensive tackle Travis Johnson, the Texans' first-round pick in 2005. "I can understand, being the No. 1 pick, everybody has anticipation of him doing all these Super Mario-type things. "Eventually, when Mario starts making big plays and becomes Super Mario, all of a sudden, y'all are going to be talking different things about him. Everybody's going to be jumping on the bandwagon." "For Mario and the Reggie Bush controversy, he's going to forever be linked to a running back, which is not fair," Johnson said. "We don't give Mario the ball to score touchdowns. "I mean, everybody's sitting there (slobbering) all over themselves because Reggie Bush rushed for 63 yards (in the Saints' victory over the Falcons on Monday night), but Mario is a D-lineman, the second-hardest position to play on the field. But I think if we gave Mario the ball, he could rack up 63 yards, too." http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/4220367.html ************************************************ TJ can appreciate the criticism that Mario is being subjected to more than anybody on the team. Still, expectations for Mario are higher, far higher than the FSU grad who was taken in the mid teens of the first round last year.

text: Listen and learn By John McCoy July 7, 2012 Story Share John McCoy Fisheries researcher Taylor Phillips (right) has spent the summer tracking radio-tagged walleye in Roane County's Charles Fork Lake and southern West Virginia's New River. Boat driver Ashley Tenney has accompanied her on many of the outings. Phillips is testing the tags for use in a future research project that tracks river-dwelling walleyes' movement patterns. SPENCER - Brow furrowed in concentration, Taylor Phillips listened intently through her headphones for the telltale chirp of a radio signal."There," she said, pointing a handheld antenna over the boat's gunwale. "The fish is right under us."Station WAL-I was on the air.Deep under the surface of Charles Fork Lake swam a walleye with a tiny transmitter attached to the base of its dorsal fin. Every second or so, the transmitter emitted a signal that, when detected by Phillips' receiver, created that telltale chirp.Armed with this or similar technology, Division of Natural Resources biologists hope to track walleye movements in Southern West Virginia's New River. The work Phillips does is a yearlong test to see which equipment works best."This is part of our effort to reintroduce native-strain walleye to West Virginia waters," she explained. "We needed a way to effectively track the native-strain fish we've been stocking there for the past several years. We know they tend to move a lot, but we don't yet know where they go."Phillips said information gathered during the walleye-tracking project would be shared with anglers to give them a better idea of where and how to fish for walleye, a species highly prized as table fare. "It will also give us biologists an idea of where the fish go to spawn and where they go when they're not spawning," she added.Until now, DNR crews had relied on capturing and recapturing tagged fish to determine the extent of their travels. It was a hit-or-miss proposition."In a river like the New, it's hard to count on recapturing a walleye you've tagged," Phillips said.Earlier this year, Phillips tagged 12 walleyes with radios - four fish from Charles Fork Lake and eight from the New River. The fish from Charles Fork have been relatively easy to find in the 70-acre impoundment, but the fish in the New have been a bit more challenging. "I tagged the eight New River walleyes during the spawning season," Phillips recalled. "All of them were captured in the big pool at Sandstone Falls. Within two or three weeks, all but three of them were gone. I later found one of them more than 20 miles downstream."With the radio transmitters, Phillips doesn't have to recapture the fish. As long as she's within a quarter mile of them, and provided they aren't more than 30 feet below the surface, she'll pick up the signal."As I ride in the boat, I swing the antenna from side to side," she said. "The signal is strongest when the antenna points directly at the fish. We can use that directional signal to [hone] in on exactly where the fish are in the river."So far, the transmitters Phillips is testing seem to be working well. Soon she'll start testing another system, one that combines radio tags with passive acoustic sensors. DNR biologists are already using acoustic sensors to track muskellunge movements in Ritchie County's North Bend Lake. The sensors, which are anchored to the bottom of a body of water, pick up tiny sounds emitted by transmitters embedded in fishes' bodies every time the fish pass within range of the sensors.The sensors log the contacts, and biologists periodically retrieve the sensors and download the accumulated data onto a laptop computer.Phillips said the acoustic-radio combination, if it works as expected, would allow her to track New River walleyes much more efficiently."With the passive receivers, I can collect the data and have a good idea of what parts of the river the walleyes are in," she explained. "Then I can take a float trip down the river and track the fish with the radio."The research is part of what Phillips calls a "big effort" to reestablish what once was a thriving New River walleye fishery. DNR officials are trying to replace the weakened, crossbred strain of walleye currently in the river with the more robust, pure strain native to the river."Once we know which system works best, we can go ahead and start tagging walleyes for study," Phillips said. "I'll be the one doing the research. I think it's important research because it benefits both the scientific community and anglers alike."

I've carried my CZ-75b like that a few times. My IWB holster wasn't here yet. But it was while I was waiting on the new mag release for my Kel Tec PF9 so it was either carry the broken gun that wouldn't hold a mag or the cz without a holster.
I was actually surprised at how well it stayed in place. I had it sitting at about 3-4 oclock on my waist and pulled my galco gunbelt tight over it. Carried it loaded with the hammer cocked and safety on. Carried it for about a week and it never shifted any more than it does in my iwb holsters.
and I have a hard time imagining an event that could flip off the safety while its in place.
Still don't think I'd carry something without a manual safety that way.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Trump says NFL too worried about players' safety
"Going to the White House was a great honor until you showed up!"
Don Bauder 7:15 p.m., Sept. 23
It's at the point of being rare, talking to a stranger in a bar and realizing, from the start, that you're having an interesting conversation. I'm at the Harbor Bar (that's Pillar Point Harbor to you, landlubber), taking a rest-stop from a short camping trip. This is a working fishing harbor and the bar is crowded with men. Standing next to the wall is a tall fellow with blond hair, mustache, beard, wearing a checkered wool shirt, jeans, drinking beer and talking to two buddies.
His name is Joshua Gift, he's 33 years old, four years married to Christal, who has a seat at the bar. Follows is his story.
"I crab during the winter. In the fall, if there's a tuna run, I work a tuna boat if I can get on one. Salmon fishing now. I'm on a boat called the Aurora. It's a 50-foot, steel, Monk-type boat, capable of fishing for just about anything that you can pack in it. The boat I live on with my wife is a sailboat.
"What I want to do is get a live-aboard boat, cruise around the Pacific, and be able to fly home to my own salmon boat during salmon season. Fish one season a year. People are able to cruise the Pacific on less than $10,000 a year, easily. That includes airfare to go back and forth.
"I went to college for computer graphics, graduated with an associate's. Worked, for a brief period of time, in advertising. Went up to Seattle for awhile, wound up living out of the back of my pickup truck. Moved to Northern California [Mendocino County], worked construction for six months. Somebody offered me an agriculture job, medical marijuana. I worked on a medical marijuana farm for three seasons.
"I started going down to San Diego in the winters. At the end of the third season, the owner picked up a coke habit. You can't have a controversial business that is state legal and not federally legal, pick up a drug problem, and expect things to be okay. I decided to leave.
"To San Diego. This was 2006. I was at a party at Black's Beach, which is just north of Pacific Beach. I meet this guy and mentioned I wanted a boat. He said he knew about a 26-foot trimaran — 'I haven't been on it, but I hear it's in good shape.' He told me to go to Pepper Park in National City and look for somebody by the name of Sharky.
"Sure enough, Sharky was there. Short, gray-haired, overweight dude with a little stainless steel flask full of rum and already had a buzz on at 8 o'clock in the morning. He said he wants $200 for the boat, a 1965 Piver trimaran.
"It was out at anchor, so I borrowed his rowboat and rowed out to it. I looked at it pretty good. The bottom needed to be scraped, but that only costs $40. I went onboard and found sails, found all the cushions, and they didn't smell. There was a stove built in and all the parts to the boat, inside and out, were there. So, I gave the guy $200, he gave me the pink slip.
"I started working for another live-aboard. He supported his 70-foot schooner and family by buying abandoned boats in areas like Oxnard and San Diego. He'd move them to a friend's dry dock in Santa Barbara. Fix and sell. I was one of the people he hired to move boats.
"The boats had to have sails. Of course they had to be floating. The inside didn't matter. I brought my own sleeping bag and oftentimes sleeping mat. They had to have a rudder and a way to steer. And a way to get the sails up. I'd get $200 for a trip, made 20 trips for him over the course of a year.
"Other than that, I sailed from place to place in my own boat. The rules of anchoring around San Diego were tough. You couldn't be out at anchor for more than 72 hours. You could stay for 72 hours in Mission Bay, Glorietta Bay, A-8 Anchorage, and a few other places. When you left one spot you couldn't go back there for a week.
"You have to know what you're doing. You have to know what to do in case of an emergency. Three o'clock in the morning, you wake up because the bilge alarm is going off. Get out of bed into a foot-and-a-half of water. The bilge alarm suddenly quits because the water got over the battery and you need to find the leak and get as much water out of the boat as possible. In the dark."

The OPEC members Saudi Arabia and Kuwait boosted their oil production in August to prevent prices from rising sharply and negatively impacting on the world economy, Kuwait's oil minister said Sunday. "Had not a number of OPEC members, including Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, increased their oil production, prices would have jumped way above the current level," Mohammad al-Baseeri told the KUNA news agency. "Without this measure, oil prices would have shot above current levels causing a global crisis and contributing to a recession in the global economy which is still recovering from the impact of the 2008 crisis," he said.
The increase in production by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait came after the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries refused in June to raise production, Baseeri said. The minister said Kuwait's production in August "did not go below 2.8 million barrels per day," way above its OPEC quota of 2.2 million bpd. He put the emirate's output capacity at 3.05 million bpd.
World oil prices slumped Friday after the U.S. reported job creation ground to a halt in August, a stark sign of trouble in the world's largest economy. New York's main contract, West Texas Intermediate for delivery in October, dropped $2.48 to close at $86.45 a barrel. In London, Brent North Sea crude for delivery in October fell $1.96 to settle at $112.33 a barrel on the IntercontinentalExchange.
Baseeri said the sovereign debt crisis in the United States and Europe, the loss of the Libyan oil and inflation in China were the main causes for fluctuations in oil prices. Kuwait has demanded at OPEC's past meeting that its production quota be increased, said the minister.

TOPEKA, Kan. — More than $500 million in education cuts have left Kansas public schools so underfunded that the state can no longer meet its obligations to students and public school districts under the state constitution, a lawyer said Monday.
Attorney Alan Rupe of Wichita is representing 32 students and 54 school districts in a lawsuit filed in 2010 that accuses the state of reneging on its promises and urging it to restore the funds.
"The kids that are disadvantaged in Kansas don't have to be," Rupe said in his opening remarks in Shawnee County District Court. "(Providing quality education to all) has been done when there have been resources to do it."
Rupe said schools and teachers had been making progress in improving student performance and reducing achievement gaps until the state started to reduce spending on public schools three years ago, stunting those efforts.
"They're doing the best with what they've got," he said. "But it's at a point where it's simply unconstitutional."
The state contends that current funding levels are constitutional and that the Legislature has the right to set funding levels based on available state revenues. Arthur Chalmers, a Wichita attorney hired by Attorney General Derek Schmidt's office to represent the state, was scheduled to make his opening remarks later Monday. The trial is expected to last three weeks.
It is the second time in a decade that the Kansas school finance formula has been subject to judicial scrutiny.
The last dispute resulted in legislators increasing school spending by nearly $1 billion, but state lawmakers began cutting back that funding when state revenues declined, and eventually school districts and parents filed the new lawsuit to compel the state to restore that funding. Any decision in the case will almost certainly be appealed to the Kansas Supreme Court.

New York, November 26 (ANI): Most stars desperately try to hide that they've gone under the knife, but not Kris Jenner.
The 57-year-old got her first set of breast implants in 1988, so she thought it was time to get herself a new pair.
"Everyone needs a fresh set every 20 years," she told the VH1 show "Big Morning Buzz Live."
Jenner, whose latest boob job was featured on "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," says she might as well be open about her plastic surgery because she can't exactly hide it.
"I have cameras in my house 24/7. I can't just go, 'I'm going for coffee,' and come back with new boobs." (ANI)

Global Academic Initiatives (GAI) Opportunities
Exciting opportunities abound for providing international experiences in your classroom!
Guest lectures, demonstrations, group activities, or other course activities are possible and easy to achieve using the expertise and connections provided by Global Academic Initiatives. Your class can be the receivers, senders, or collaborative participants in many kinds of activities. With over a decade of experience in Internet based, real-time class activities, GAI can make the possibilities happen in your classes.
Giving or receiving a Global Guest Lecture is relatively quick and easy to set up and deliver. Disparate local time zones and academic calendars are easily accommodated. Lectures are a good way to begin the process of integrating global diversity to your classroom. A variety of live and recorded video tools are available to accommodate the type of learning experience that you would like to achieve.
Beyond lectures the possibilities for interactive activities that involve faculty and students are boundless. Activities that involve students working together can blend the richness of disciplinary content with diverse cultural approaches and perspectives. These activities typically require more lead time than lectures, as both the time zone differences and the academic calendars must be coordinated and the learning outcomes shaped to meet the needs of both courses and all students. Generally, at least one semester is needed to understand and agree on these and other issues including reference material, expectations, pre-requisite expectations, etc... Technical testing with plans for continuity of instruction must be concluded before the beginning of class. The GAI team would like to help you realize the potential of global activities in your class. Just let us know of your interest and we will get started!

Will C. Wood High School's girls tennis team has a couple of the more talented players in the Monticello Empire League this season.
Vacaville's depth paid big dividends in their first clash of the season, though.
The Wildcats won the top two singles matches, but the host Bulldogs won the next four singles spots to spark a 6-3 victory on Wednesday.
Vacaville improved to 2-0 in MEL matches, while Wood fell to 0-2.
Wood's Akira Shah and Madison Stark rolled to straight-sets wins in the Nos. 1 and 2 singles matches, respectively. But the Wildcats' only other victory came at No. 2 doubles, where Umi Magune and Breeana Hawley won a third-set tiebreaker over Miranda Lewis and Carly Lawn.
The Bulldogs ruled the rest of the day. Michaela Harris (No. 3 singles), Haley Hansen (No. 4) and Kara Benz (No. 6) won in straight sets, and Meghan Rousch won a three-set thriller over Cristina Camacho.
Vacaville's Mackena Smith and Emily Brown added a three-set win at No. 1 doubles, edging Wood's Kelsey Mifflin and Belle Lunasco.
The Bulldog No. 3 doubles team of Alyssa Hansen and Bre Castanho added a convincing win.
Vacaville plays at Rodriguez on Monday, while Wood hosts Vintage at In-Shape Millennium.
The Bulldogs and Wildcats meet again on Sept. 30 at Millennium.

Based on three preseason games, the Vikings weren't going to embarrass themselves regardless of which quarterback they chose as their starter going into the season. Both Matt Cassel and Teddy Bridgewater have played pretty well in the tune-ups, meaning the decision for new coach Mike Zimmer could ultimately come down to which was the smarter play.
Zimmer doesn't seem like a boring guy, but he does seem like someone who calculates the percentages and makes corresponding decisions. That can lead to some moves that are both boring and smart — and naming Cassel as the starter over Bridgewater fits into that category.
It's boring because we know what Cassel can do. He's a veteran who offers stability and the chance to give the team average QB play — something the Vikings haven't had with consistency for several years. Bridgewater is the exciting rookie full of potential. Since this team is rebuilding, why not roll the dice right away?
Well, because the decision to start Cassel is smart for the same reason it is boring. You start with the known commodity against a tough early slate of games — three of five on the road, against teams with aggressive defenses, top QBs or both — because you know what you're getting. You also do it because if he succeeds, he can keep the job while Bridgewater keeps learning. And if he fails, the switch to Bridgewater is seamless (the fifth game, against the Packers, is on a Thursday and therefore offers a long stretch afterward to prepare should the Vikings want to make a move then).
If you start with Bridgewater, you could catch lightning in a bottle. But if he fails early, it's much harder to go from the rookie to the veteran than vice-versa. It's common sense. A rookie coach doesn't want to start 0-5 or 1-4 with a rookie quarterback. Then nobody looks good. If the coach starts that way with a veteran, there is still hope on the way. Zimmer's comments seem to indicate he's even thinking along these lines. Per Access Vikings, here are a pair of quotes from Zimmer:
"It wasn't just about the quarterbacks. It's not always the best player at that position — and I'm not saying that Matt's not. … It's all about how everything works together. And at this stage, where we're at right now, it's the best thing to do."
"We will hold the quarterback position to the exact same expectations as we do every other position. If you perform, you play. If you don't, then somebody else will get an opportunity at some point."
It sure sounds like Cassel is the starter for now, and our guess is that he has a five-game audition. It might make the early part of the season a little less interesting than if Bridgewater had the keys from the start, but sometimes boring and smart go hand in hand.

Concurrent PET/CT for radiation therapy planning shows promise over separate PET and CTUsing concurrent PET/CT may improve the accuracy of imaging for radiation therapy treatment planning by decreasing errors caused by organ motion, says a new study by researchers from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, MO.
For the study, the researchers analyzed the results of ten patients with cervical cancer who had radiation treatment planned using both a CT taken before PET and a CT taken during the same PET session. The researchers found that the structures identified on the PET images demonstrated better correlation to patient anatomy on the CT taken at the time of PET than to patient anatomy on the traditional separate CT.
"Until recently PET/CT simulation involved obtaining a CT scan in one department and a PET in another, often on different days. This process presented challenges for working with patients with cervical cancer because this introduced uncertainties caused by patient position variation, internal organ motion and organ deformation (variable filling volumes of bladder and bowel). We tried to decrease this uncertainty by using a PET and CT acquired during the same session," said Sasha Wahab, MD, lead author of the study.
The CT taken at the time of PET is not any more accurate than the CT taken at a separate time, say the researchers. It is the fact that the CT is obtained in the same session (with the patient in the same position and with minimal time interval) that makes the CT taken at the time of PET advantageous. "By using a PET and CT taken back to back with the patient in the same position, we reduce the risk of errors due to motion," said Dr. Wahab.
"The better we can see the tumor, the better we can treat it. Using PET and CT to guide treatment planning, we can more effectively target cancer cells so that we can deliver higher radiation doses to the tumor and still spare the dose to normal tissue. This may lead to more effective treatment with lower side effects," said Dr. Wahab.
The full results of the study will be presented on Monday, May 1, 2006 during the American Roentgen Ray Society Annual Meeting in Vancouver, BC.
About ARRS
The American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) was founded in 1900 and is the oldest radiology society in the U.S Radiologists from all over the world attend the ARRS Annual Meeting to take part in instructional courses, scientific paper presentations, symposiums, new issues forums and scientific and commercial exhibits related to the field of radiology. The ARRS is named after Wilhelm R�entgen, who discovered the x-ray in 1895.

Each of Southern Mississippi's first six victories this season has been by at least eight points. If justice is served, the Golden Eagles will have a lot more comfortable wins before the season is over.
Southern Miss suffered plenty of heartbreak last season, losing three Conference USA games on three-point field goals at the buzzer. That was the difference between winning the C-USA regular-season title and finishing in a tie for fifth place as the Golden Eagles went 22-10 overall and 9-7 in conference play.
It seems unlikely Southern Miss will compete for the conference title this season after losing three starters, including all-conference forward Gary Flowers. However, the Golden Eagles have been very competitive thus far, going 7-2, ranking fifth in the RPI and sixth in the nation in strength of schedule, according to basketballstate.com, with their only losses coming to Denver and Murray State, who are a combined 16-2.
Southern Miss has received outstanding backcourt play as four guards have scoring averages in double figures: junior LaShay Page (15.3), senior Maurice Bolden (12.8), senior Angelo Johnson (12.4) and sophomore Neil Watson (10.7). Bolden, who is also averaging 7.3 rebounds a game, and Johnson, who is averaging 3.8 assists a game, are fifth-year seniors who have made a seamless transition to the starting lineup after being primarily bench players in their careers.
The guard-heavy influence shows in Southern Miss' shooting. The Golden Eagles have a .395 percentage on three-point field goal attempts, not that far off their .437 percentage on two-pointers.
- While the numbers are still shaking out early in the season, Southern Mississippi had an impressive No. 6 ranking in the RPI following a 78-62 victory over Louisiana Tech that raised its record to 7-2. The Golden Eagles trailed only Saint Mary's, Duke, Syracuse, Marquette and Northern Iowa. Southern Miss was No. 67 last season when it went 22-10.
- Coach Larry Eustachy won his 124rd game at Southern Miss with the victory over Louisiana Tech, moving into third place on the school's all-time list and passing James Green (1996-2004). Eustachy is in his eighth season at Southern Miss and has 386 overall wins in 21 seasons.
Player To Watch: G Angelo Johnson-The fifth-year senior is dependable at the point and Southern Miss' floor leader. He led Conference USA with a 3.1 assist/turnover ratio last season. Though that figured has dipped to 1.7 in the early going this season, he has raised his scoring average to 12.4 points a game after it was 7.5 a year ago.
Key Conference Game: Jan. 11 at Memphis-A rebuilding Southern Miss team is off to a surprisingly good start but will find out exactly how it stacks up in C-USA when it visits conference favorite Memphis after opening at home against East Carolina then playing at Tulane. Southern Miss lost to Memphis three times last season by a combined total of 10 points.
Quote To Note: "We still have work to do but the exciting part is that we're only going to get better,"-Eustachy on his team getting off to a 7-2 start.
2010-11 Conference Record: 9-7, fifth place (tie)
Lineup Breakdown: Southern Mississippi has relied heavily on its backcourt in the early going with its top three scorers being G LaShay Page (15.3 points per game), G Marcus Bolden (12.8 points per game) and G Angelo Johnson (12.4 points per game and 3.8 assists per game). Bolden is also shooting .462 from three-point range while Page is at .394 and Johnson at .385. F Torye Pelham has been a steady inside presence, averaging 7.6 points per game and 5.4 rebounds per game. G Rashard McGill is scoring just 4.2 points a game, limited by his .256 shooting percentage as he struggles making the transition to Division I from the junior college ranks.
Roster Report:
- F Jonathan Mills is turning into a reliable bench option in his first season in the program. The junior college transfer scored a career-high 16 points in 24 minutes in a victory over Louisiana Tech on Dec. 10. Mills has scored in double figures three times in nine games and is averaging 8.0 points a game.
- Page has stepped up his game in his first season as a starter as the junior is sixth in scoring in Conference USA and second in three-pointers made per game (3.1). Last season, Page averaged 6.2 points and 1.9 threes a game.
- Watson has scored 42 percent of his 96 points from the free throw line as he has made 40 of 44 free throw attempts. His .930 free throw percentage is second in C-USA.

LONDON (Jul. 1)
The Jewish Trust Corporation for Germany, Jewish successor organization in the former British zone of Germany, recovered 76,000,000 deutschemarks up to the end of 1956 as restitution for Jewish assets confiscated by the Nazis, it was reported here today at the annual meeting of the JTC. The JTC recovered another 11,000,000 deutschemerks for individuals who failed to file restitution or indemnification claims before deadlines expired.
The sum of 2,400,000 deutschemarks has been turned over to the Jewish community of Northwest Germany and a further sum of 9,000,000 has been set aside pending implementation of an agreement between the JTC and the communities regarding former communal property. Most of JTC's assets were recovered under bulk settlements with German governmental agencies.

What does history say about the best point in the season to secure a spot in the playoffs?
While looking toward the future with our comprehensive slate of current content, we'd also like to recognize our rich past by drawing upon our extensive (and mostly free) online archive of work dating back to 1997. In an effort to highlight the best of what's gone before, we'll be bringing you a weekly blast from BP's past, introducing or re-introducing you to some of the most informative and entertaining authors who have passed through our virtual halls. If you have fond recollections of a BP piece that you'd like to nominate for re-exposure to a wider audience, send us your suggestion.
Is it better for a team's playoff hopes to seal a playoff spot early in September, or to have a race come down to the wire? Mike surveyed baseball history in search of an answer in the piece reprinted below, which was originally published on October 1, 2006.

FINGERS may be pointed and voices raised, but the blame game rarely offers up answers.
It has begun again in the wake of Rangers' William Hill Scottish Cup capitulation on Saturday, but no party will emerge blame-free from the debacle against Dundee United.
It is Ally McCoist who will ultimately carry the can, rightly some say, for his side's abject performance that saw them crash to a 3-0 defeat.
Yet the role of those he entrusted with a blue jersey must come under the spotlight, too. This was not a band of budding kids thrown into the heat of battle at Tannadice.
Instead, it was a collection of internationalists, marquee signings and SPL stars that failed to live up to their hype.
Rangers' big names were left embarrassed, letting themselves, and their manager, down on their chance to prove they had what it takes to cut it at the top.
"It will be the manner of the performance and how they lost the game that will hurt Coisty the most," former Rangers midfielder Derek McInnes told SportTimes.
"Rangers needed to defend well to give themselves any chance and they didn't do that. They needed some big performances from their big players.
"On paper, Rangers were decent middle to front but they never showed their quality.
"They have guys that have come down from the SPL last summer like Ian Black, Dean Shiels, David Templeton and Fran Sandaza.
"You also had the likes of Ross Perry, Kyle Hutton and Andy Little who have played in the SPL as well.
"There are some good players and I thought if Rangers were going to have a chance of getting a result they would have to defend well and hope they hit their levels.
"A lot of the bigger players, the players that they needed to perform, never got to their levels and that in turn made it very difficult."
As the majority of Light Blue legions voted with their feet and boycotted the tie, several of McCoist's players also failed to turn up on the day.
Midfielder Black saw red late on after a poor display, Shiels was virtually anonymous and Brazilian Emilson Cribari had another defensive horror show.
They were not the only ones who didn't impress, but the time has come for those players to live up to their billing and show the class their CVs suggest.
McCoist didn't hold back in his criticism of his flops after the cup exit and McInnes knows his friend will feel the fans' pain.
He said: "It was disappointing from a Rangers point of view but, lets not kid ourselves, it was always going to be a massive task for them.
"I know Coisty would have been desperate to reward the fans and get through to the next round of the cup and that will be the biggest disappointment of all for him.
"Rangers just have to go and finish off the season in the league and when they are in the Scottish Cup and League Cup next year they will look to make a better fist of it."
Having crashed out of all three domestic cups, the Third Division title looks like being the only silverware in the Ibrox trophy cabinet this term.
The Gers return to league duty against Queen's Park on Saturday battered, bruised and with a point to prove.
McInnes said: "The players will want to show a good reaction.
"They will want to make amends and go and win games with a bit of style. Claiming the Third Division was the main objective at the start of the season.
"The Scottish Cup and the League Cup were always going to be a challenge but hopefully they can go and finish the league campaign strongly.
"Then they can wait and see what will happens in terms of league reconstruction."

Dear Desktop Engineering Reader:
Spatial recently announced Release 19 of its 3D ACIS Modeler and 3D InterOp Suite. You'll benefit from this in two ways. Well, more than two, but, as MBA types say, two big picture ways make this good news for you.
First, ACIS provides core solid modeling, geometry, and graphics functionality and power to more than 350 CAD/CAM/CAE, EDA, metrology, and simulation applications. It minimizes the time developers need to spend taking care of all that stuff, which means ACIS enables engineering software developers to focus on their company's core technology. So, by making ACIS more robust, Spatial makes it easier for developers to make better software for you.
The second big thing here is that Spatial improved its data translation and interoperability power. Anything that makes it easier and faster for you to import and export files from one application to another means reduced costs, less wasted time, and faster time to market.
ACIS R19 offers such enhancements as 3D Springback, more support for large radius blending, sheet body offset, new APIs for improved workflows, and 3D edge offset for CMM (coordinate measuring machine) applications. R19 also has such tools as hidden line removal, deformable modeling, advanced covering, and defeaturing. Many more specifics are in today's Pick of the Week write-up. Click the links to the release notes.
R19's interoperability enhancements are a big thing. Probably nothing but agendaless meetings wastes more engineering time than fighting with file export and import. The new version of the 3D InterOp Suite adds new advanced interoperability with major MCAD applications as well as better support for PMI (production manufacturing information) translations.
One cool thing Spatial did that I want to mention is that they made their product documentation available in an open, Wiki format. Not only does online documentation provide full and — as Wikis are known to do — completely engrossing access to technical information, but this means that you can share your ideas about programming and improving ACIS with Spatial and the wider development community.
Enabling the wider engineering software community is what Spatial does. Something like 1.75 million of you rely on ACIS-based software. With R19's new features your applications will be more robust and more interoperable, and your development projects easier. That's to everyone's benefit. Check out today's write-up for details on ACIS R19.
Thanks Pal. — Lockwood

With Republicans refusing to act, 160 million working Americans will see their taxes go up – $1,000 a year for the average family. Additionally, 2.5 million Americans will no longer receive their unemployment insurance benefits.
President Barack Obama and Democrats believe the only viable option to ensure millions of middle class families aren't hit with a tax hike is if the House of Representatives takes up the bipartisan compromise that passed in the Senate with nearly 90 percent support, including 39 votes from Senate Republicans. Unfortunately over the last few days we've seen nothing but political theater from House Republicans. They refuse to even vote on this bipartisan compromise. That's unacceptable.
Now is not the time for political brinksmanship. Nobody wants to see their taxes go up in just ten days. Not right now. Not when families are trying to pay the bills or make ends meet. Unfortunately, if House Republicans fail to act, while there's still time, this tax cut will expire and millions of families will have $1,000 less next year.
Judging from the local newspaper editorials below, it looks like we're not the only ones who believe the House Republicans should get to work and get this done before the end of the year. Let's take a look:
New York Times – Putting Paychecks at Risk
"If the House had actually voted on Tuesday on the two-month extension of the payroll tax cut in the Senate's bill, there is a chance that it would have passed… But the House refused to vote on the compromise. Instead, it voted on a piece of parliamentary trickery devised by Speaker John Boehner and his lieutenants to ensure the tax cut couldn't possibly pass… As a result, it looks increasingly likely that the payroll tax cut will end on Jan. 1, along with extended unemployment insurance for three million jobless workers. In a year full of dangerous standoffs, led by extremist House members, this one may be the most intractable."
Youngstown Vindicator (OH) – Compromise needed to extend tax cuts, unemployment pay
"Boehner can reject the two-month compromise, but blaming it on Democrats is going to be a hard sell when everyone starts paying higher Social Security withholding taxes in January. And, because of another section of the bill, hundreds of thousands of people in most states will see their unemployment benefits end.And while questions remain about how much of their tax breaks the wealthy have been pouring into job creation, there is no question that middle class taxpayers and unemployed workers pour their windfalls right back into the economy. The money they spend on food, shelter, transportation and clothing goes into the pockets of small businesses and other working men and women throughout the economy. Boehner might want to think about that if he intends to head home to Dayton for Christmas without accepting the Senate compromise."
Los Angeles Times – Boehner's brinksmanship
"It's only fitting that House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) would close the year with one more act of brinksmanship. Boehner announced Sunday that he opposed the bipartisan deal in the Senate on a stopgap extension of soon-to-expire payroll tax cuts, unemployment benefits and Medicare payment rates for physicians — a deal that he reportedly urged his caucus to accept, only to have other members of his leadership team oppose it. The Senate proposal was far from perfect, but it gave the House GOP a clear win on what supposedly was its top priority: the Keystone XL pipeline project. By not accepting the deal, House Republicans show again that they're unable or unwilling to stop moving the goal posts."
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel – House Republicans earn an extra large lump of coal
"Boehner said House Republicans oppose the Senate bill "because the two-month extension will create more uncertainty for job creators in our country when millions of Americans are out of work." He also argued that "payroll processing companies say that the Senate bill is unworkable." Uncertainty? What could create more uncertainty than throwing out the entire deal just days before Christmas and a little more than a week before a tax hike will go into effect unless something is done? And what could create more uncertainty than doing so after the Senate has adjourned?"
Denver Post – 11 percent approval rating: How low can Congress go?
"We too support a 12-month extension of the payroll tax cut, but only after first ensuring the present tax relief does not expire. The House must pass the bill, if only to show the remaining 11 percent their faith is not completely undeserved."
Las Vegas Sun – Americans face higher taxes because of Republican obstruction
"As if Americans haven't seen enough dysfunction in Washington, House Republicans engineered a masterpiece Tuesday to round out the year. They rejected a bipartisan Senate plan that would have extended payroll tax cuts and unemployment benefits for two months, giving lawmakers time to work out a longer-term deal."
Wall Street Journal – The GOP's Payroll Tax Fiasco
"If Republicans didn't want to extend the payroll tax cut on the merits, then they should have put together a strategy and the arguments for defeating it and explained why… But now Republicans are drowning out that victory in the sounds of their circular firing squad. Already four GOP Senators have rejected the House position, and the political rout will only get worse… At this stage, Republicans would do best to cut their losses and find a way to extend the payroll holiday quickly."
Charleston Gazette (WV) – Tax hike: GOP hypocrisy
Most Republicans in Congress signed Grover Norquist's pledge vowing never to vote for a tax increase — yet, bizarrely, House Republicans took a step Tuesday that may inflict a $1,000 tax increase on 160 million Americans. The action showed that GOP leaders care only about tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, not for middle-class U.S. families.
Harrisburg Patriot-News (PA) – Payroll tax: Congress opts for partisanship instead of what's best for Americans
"Like one more sequel to a movie everyone hated in the first place, comes 'Brinkmanship IV: Mr. Smith Plagues Washington.' If Congress does not extend the payroll tax cut, some 160 million Americans will see their taxes go up in 2012 by an average of about $1,000 per year. Unemployment benefits will run out for millions more."
Tulsa World (OK) – Taxpayers get a lump of coal from House
"It is clear that the majority in the U.S. House is much more concerned about the 2012 election than it is for the welfare of the country's middle class."
Albany Times Union (NY): What's wrong with the GOP?
"Let them run for re-election as the people who raised taxes . . . The GOP has been at war — no surprise — with the Democrats, with whom they managed to secure a truce on their own terms. No longer, for instance, are the Democrats in the Senate calling — reasonably, we thought — for paying the roughly $180 billion price of all this by putting a surtax on millionaires. Now the GOP is at war with itself."
Tacoma News Tribune (WA) – Don't let 2011 end without saving the sales-tax deduction
"Something is getting lost in the partisan bickering in Congress over extension of the payroll-tax break and unemployment benefits. That would be the sales-tax deduction – which would be seen as a mini financial stimulus for the seven states including Washington, that don't have a state income tax."
Bozeman Daily Chronicle (MT) – Montana's delegates must rise above the shenanigans
"Notice what's going on in Congress these days? Democrats and Republicans have ceased talking to each other in any meaningful way. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives dismisses outright anything that has Democrats' fingerprints on it – even if it would save the nation from annihilation. The absurd filibuster rule has made the Democrat-controlled Senate dysfunctional and irrelevant."
Eugene Register-Guard (OR) – A tax-cut stalemate
"With 14 million people out of work, wages falling and poverty surging, this isn't the sort of leadership Americans need from Congress. House Speaker John Boehner and other GOP leaders should back off their ill-advised brinksmanship and insist that their unruly caucus support the Senate's bipartisan deal for a stopgap extension of payroll tax cuts and jobless benefits."

Tonight marks the start of the Sixers season. For all intents and purposes this year will be a mediocre campaign at best. The Sixers haven't changed a whole lot from the team they put out on the floor last year and with A.I. and CWebb inching closer to the twilight of their careers, things look bleak for the hoops team in South Philly.
The fact that the next few months could be the final games in which Allen Iverson puts on a Philadelphia uniform should give you reason enough to care a little bit. We could argue A.I. for days, but the fact of the matter is that Iverson is one of the most fun athletes to watch in all of sports. The Sixers likely won't win squat this year, but enjoy Bubba Chuck while you can because he may be gone in a flash.
Season opener tonight, 7 PM, Wachovia Center vs. Atlanta Hawks - tickets still available.
Now for a look around the web on what people have to say about the Sixers:
- Phil Jasner has a preview and informs us that Billy King thinks this years group is close. Close to what? [Daily News]
- Billy King sees a playoff contender. I see dead people. [Inquirer]
- ESPN's power rankings have the Sixers at 26. Ouch. [ESPN]
- ESPN's Sixers preview; Tim Legler says, "Take a sub-.500 team that doesn't play defense. Age by one year. Add
absolutely nothing of note in the offseason. What do you get? Another
year out of the playoffs for Allen Iverson and Chris Webber." [ESPN]
- This Sixers blogger picks the Sixers to go 47-35 and win the East! The commenter who said, "papers or pipe?" nailed my thoughts exactly. [NBA Previews]
- More on the new NBA ball from True Hoop. [ESPN]
