ABSTRACT: We have detected hundreds of HI clouds in the lower Galactic halo within the Galactic All-Sky Survey pilot region, a region spanning 325∘≤ l ≤ 343∘ and |b|≤ 20∘. The motions of these clouds are governed by Galactic rotation, they are seen within the disk and up to heights of 2.5 kpc, and they span a wide range of Galactocentric radii. However, these clouds are not uniformly distributed and appear to be associated with Galactic structures such as spiral arms or superbubbles.EAS Publications Series 09/2012; -

ABSTRACT: A survey of the Milky Way disk and the Magellanic System at the wavelengths of the 21-cm atomic hydrogen (HI) line and three 18-cm lines of the OH molecule will be carried out with the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder telescope. The survey will study the distribution of HI emission and absorption with unprecedented angular and velocity resolution, as well as molecular line thermal emission, absorption, and maser lines. The area to be covered includes the Galactic plane (|b|< 10deg) at all declinations south of delta = +40deg, spanning longitudes 167deg through 360deg to 79deg at b=0deg, plus the entire area of the Magellanic Stream and Clouds, a total of 13,020 square degrees. The brightness temperature sensitivity will be very good, typically sigma_T ~ 1 K at resolution 30arcsec and 1 km/s. The survey has a wide spectrum of scientific goals, from studies of galaxy evolution to star formation, with particular contributions to understanding stellar wind kinematics, the thermal phases of the interstellar medium, the interaction between gas in the disk and halo, and the dynamical and thermal states of gas at various positions along the Magellanic Stream.Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific 07/2012; · 3.69 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Using data from the Galactic All-Sky Survey, we have compared the properties and distribution of HI clouds in the disk-halo transition at the tangent points in mirror-symmetric regions of the first quadrant (QI) and fourth quadrant (QIV) of the Milky Way. Individual clouds are found to have identical properties in the two quadrants. However, there are 3 times as many clouds in QI as in QIV, their scale height is twice as large, and their radial distribution is more uniform. We attribute these major asymmetries to the formation of the clouds in the spiral arms of the Galaxy, and suggest that the clouds are related to star formation in the form of gas that has been lifted from the disk by superbubbles and stellar feedback, and fragments of shells that are falling back to the plane.01/2011; - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Using 21cm HI observations from the Parkes Radio Telescope's Galactic All-Sky Survey, we measure 255 HI clouds in the lower Galactic halo that are located near the tangent points at 16.9 < l < 35.3 degrees and |b| < 20 degrees. The clouds have a median mass of 700 Msun and a median distance from the Galactic plane of 660 pc. This first Galactic quadrant (QI) region is symmetric to a region of the fourth quadrant (QIV) studied previously using the same data set and measurement criteria. The properties of the individual clouds in the two quadrants are quite similar suggesting that they belong to the same population, and both populations have a line of sight cloud-cloud velocity dispersion of sigma_cc ~ 16 km/s. However, there are three times as many disk-halo clouds at the QI tangent points and their scale height, at h=800 pc, is twice as large as in QIV. Thus the observed line of sight random cloud motions are not connected to the cloud scale height or its variation around the Galaxy. The surface density of clouds is nearly constant over the QI tangent point region but is peaked near R~4 kpc in QIV. We ascribe all of these differences to the coincidental location of the QI region at the tip of the Milky Way's bar, where it merges with a major spiral arm. The QIV tangent point region, in contrast, covers only a segment of a minor spiral arm. The disk-halo HI cloud population is thus likely tied to and driven by large-scale star formation processes, possibly through the mechanism of supershells and feedback.

Article: Gass: The Parkes Galactic All-Sky Survey. II. Stray-radiation correction and second data release
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Parkes Galactic All-Sky Survey (GASS) is a survey of Galactic atomic hydrogen (HI) emission in the southern sky observed with the Parkes 64-m Radio Telescope. The first data release was published by McClure-Griffiths et al. (2009). We remove instrumental effects that affect the GASS and present the second data release. We calculate the stray-radiation by convolving the all-sky response of the Parkes antenna with the brightness temperature distribution from the Leiden/Argentine/Bonn (LAB) all sky 21-cm line survey, with major contributions from the 30-m dish of the Instituto Argentino de Radioastronomia (IAR) in the southern sky. Remaining instrumental baselines are corrected using the LAB data for a first guess of emission-free baseline regions. Radio frequency interference is removed by median filtering. After applying these corrections to the GASS we find an excellent agreement with the Leiden/Argentine/Bonn (LAB) survey. The GASS is the highest spatial resolution, most sensitive, and is currently the most accurate HI survey of the Galactic HI emission in the southern sky. We provide a web interface for generation and download of FITS cubes.

The correct description of the H I column density, , that is presented in Table 1 is: the H I column density, , at the cloud center is 1.94 × 1018T pkΔv cm–2 in the optically thin limit, an assumption that is reasonable because the emission is faint.

Article: GASS: The Parkes Galactic All-Sky Survey. I. Survey Description, Goals, and Initial Data Release
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The Parkes Galactic All-Sky Survey (GASS) is a survey of Galactic atomic hydrogen (HI) emission in the Southern sky covering declinations $\delta \leq 1^{\circ}$ using the Parkes Radio Telescope. The survey covers $2\pi$ steradians with an effective angular resolution of ~16', at a velocity resolution of 1.0 km/s, and with an rms brightness temperature noise of 57 mK. GASS is the most sensitive, highest angular resolution survey of Galactic HI emission ever made in the Southern sky. In this paper we outline the survey goals, describe the observations and data analysis, and present the first-stage data release. The data product is a single cube at full resolution, not corrected for stray radiation. Spectra from the survey and other data products are publicly available online.

ABSTRACT: We have detected over 400 HI clouds in the lower halo of the Galaxy within the pilot region of the Galactic All-Sky Survey (GASS), a region of the fourth quadrant that spans 18 degrees in longitude, 40 degrees in latitude and is centered on the Galactic equator. These clouds have a median peak brightness temperature of 0.6 K, a median velocity width of 12.8 km/s, and angular sizes <1 degree. The motion of these clouds is dominated by Galactic rotation with a random cloud-to-cloud velocity dispersion of 18 km/s. A sample of clouds likely to be near tangent points was analyzed in detail. These clouds have radii on the order of 30 pc and a median HI mass of 630 Msun. The population has a vertical scale height of 400 pc and is concentrated in Galactocentric radius, peaking at R=3.8 kpc. This confined structure suggests that the clouds are linked to spiral features, while morphological evidence that many clouds are aligned with loops and filaments is suggestive of a relationship with star formation. The clouds might result from supernovae and stellar winds in the form of fragmenting shells and gas that has been pushed into the halo rather than from a galactic fountain. Comment: 16 pages.

ABSTRACT: The Leading Arm of the Magellanic System is a tidally formed HI feature extending $\sim 60\arcdeg$ from the Magellanic Clouds ahead of their direction of motion. Using atomic hydrogen (HI) data from the Galactic All Sky-Survey (GASS), supplemented with data from the Australia Telescope Compact Array, we have found evidence for an interaction between a cloud in the Leading Arm and the Galactic disk where the Leading Arm crosses the Galactic plane. The interaction occurs at velocities permitted by Galactic rotation, which allows us to derive a kinematic distance to the cloud of 21 kpc, suggesting that the Leading Arm crosses the Galactic Plane at a Galactic radius of $R\approx 17$ kpc.

Changing the world, starting with Cincinnati
Heads up, Cincinnati.
More than 700 people will be gathered in the grand ballroom of the Millennium Hotel downtown over the next three days, hatching a strategy to change the world.
If all goes as planned, that change will start with Cincinnati's urban core.
That's the goal of this first major summit of CoreChange, a fledgling initiative spearheaded by Dr. Victor Garcia. I wrote about CoreChange and Garcia's efforts in our Feb. 10 edition.
I attended the first part of the summit this morning, the first day of the three-day gathering.
My time there made me wish I could stay for the whole thing.
There was so much hope in the room filled with such a diverse group of people. There were business leaders and neighborhood representatives. There was a young man who walked in carrying a baby in a bouncy seat and a young boy just barely tall enough to see over the banquet table where he was sitting. And all these different people were there because they want to make a difference.
I don't know if CoreChange will ultimately change the world, or even our small part of it here in Cincinnati.
But it seems clear that doing nothing won't change anything. And I think that's how Garcia and his steering committee convinced all those people to give it shot.
"We were hoping for 300 people," Garcia told me before the summit started. "We got 760 registered."
If you are one of the people who spend your weekend at the CoreChange summit, I'd like to hear from you. Send me an email Sunday or Monday. Tell me what you thought about the summit and what kinds of strategies you helped to develop.
Could this be the Renaissance of Greater Cincinnati's urban core? An awful lot of people hope so.

US 2759003 A Description (OCR text may contain errors) United tates Patent O PURIFICATION OF BETA-LACTONES BY AQUEOUS ALKALI EXTRACTION Jacob E. Jansen, Akron, and Max E. Roha, Brecksville, Ohio, assignors to The B. F. Goodrich Company, New York, N. Y., a corporation of New York No Drawing. Application October 11, 1952, Serial No. 314,402 '18 Claims. (Cl. 260-3433) This invention relates to a method of purifying betalactones by treating aqueous solutions of the lactones with alkaline materials and more particularly refers to a method of purifying beta-lactones in water solutions by controlled treatment, for relatively short periods of time, with alkaline reacting compounds at a pH of from about 7.5 to 12 and at a temperature below about 50 C. It is disclosed in Frederick E. Kiing Patent 2,356,459, issued August 22, 1944, that beta-lactones, that is lactones or inner esters of beta-hydroxy carboxylic acids, can be obtained in good yields by the reaction of a ketene with an aldehyde or ketone. The beta-lactones prepared in this manner have the general structure R R R R in which each R represents either a hydrogen atom, a hydrocarbon or a substituted hydrocarbon radical free of carboxyl groups. The preferred beta-lactones are those that are water soluble. The beta-lactones prepared by the methods described in the above mentioned Kiing patent contain small but significant amounts of impurities which for some purposes are undesirable. These impurities include free acids such as acetic, acrylic and beta-chloropropionic; acid anhydrides such as acetic and acrylic; some unreacted ketene and aldehyde or ketone; and other compounds in small quantities through side reactions between the several ingredients of the main reaction mixture. Heretofore, the most suitable, but not entirely satisfac tory, method of purifying beta-lactones, was that in which a highly efiicient fractional distillation was used. Among the shortcomings of this distillation method is the fact that it is slow and relatively expensive and, further, there is considerable homopolymerization of the lactone monomer due to the long exposure to elevated temperatures. Ordinarily, if alkalis are added to aqueous solutions of beta-lactones, there results a fairly rapid reaction between the base and the inner ester. For instance, when a strong solution of an alkali metal hydroxide is added to a water solution of a beta-lactone, so that the mixture becomes and remains strongly alkaline, the inner ester linkage of the lactone is broken to form salts of a beta-hydroxy carboxylic acid. Water-soluble carbonates catalyse the polymerization of beta-lactones. We have now discovered, however, that if an alkaline compound is added to beta-lactones in the presence of water under carefully controlled conditions, reaction between the base and the beta-lactone is reduced to insignificant proportions, but at the same time the alkaline material will react with the acidic impurities to render them insoluble in an inert volatile organic solvent that is immiscible with water. Thus, if the alkaline compound is added cautiously, so as to keep the pH of the mixture between about 7.5 and 12 or slightly above, while maintaining the temperature below 50 C. and limiting the time ice of the reaction to not more than about 10-15 minutes, and thereafter separating the lactone from the aqueous mixture, beta-lactones of a very high degree of purity can be obtained in very good yield. The alkaline compounds that We found to be especially satisfactory include alkaline buffers, oxides, hydroxides, carbonates and bicarbonates of alkali and alkaline earth metals, and mixtures thereof. Other alkaline hydroxides, oxides or salts which produce an alkaline reaction in water can also be used. The alkaline compound does not necessarily have to be very soluble in water, but in order to obviate the necessity of filtering after purifying the beta-lactones, water-soluble alkaline materials are desirable. The alkali metal hydroxides are preferred. Specific examples of alkaline compounds are sodium, potassium and lithium oxides, hydroxides, bicarbonates and carbonates, calcium, magnesium, strontium and barium hydroxides, oxides and carbonates and alkaline ammonium compounds. Other inorganic alkaline compounds are satisfactory if they are capable of raising the pH of the mixture between 7.5 and 12 and maintaining it in substantially that range by addition of the alkaline material as needed. The purification of beta-lactones is most rapid and effective at a pH of about 8 to 10. If the pH is considerably below 8, the reaction is slow and the acid and acidyielding impurities are not as efiiciently removed, and if the pH is considerably above 10 the reaction between the beta-lactone, the alkaline compound and the salts of the acids is of such scope as to materially reduce the yield of the lactone monomer. The preferred pH range is from about 9 to 9.5. Care must be exercised to prevent local points of pH considerably above 12. This is best done by slowly adding a solution or slurry of the alkaline compound while vigorously stirring the water solution of beta-lactone and making frequent or constant checks of the pH of the mixture during alkali addition. The temperature at which purification of the betalactones can take place is between the solidification point of the mixture, which is below 0 C., and about 40-50 C. The preferred range is between about 20 C. and +25 C. The reaction is exothermic and therefore cooling of the reaction mixture may be necessary to maintain the temperature within the preferred range. In our tests, we found that alkali consumption and pH fluctuation from high to low is greatest in the initial stages of the reaction. The bulk of the alkali necessary to attain and hold the mixture at a pH range of 7.5 to 12 is neutralized by the free acid or by hydrolytic products of acid anhydrides, within about three or four minutes after starting addition of the base. The vigorous stirring of the mixture disperses the alkaline compound throughout the liquid mass, so that the neutralization of acids and hydrolysis of anhydrides can proceed at the specified pH, without forming localized spots of substantially higher pH values. After the free acid-free base reaction is completed, additional small amounts of alkali may be required to completely hydrolize the acid anhydrides and keep the pH within the proper range. For best results it is desirable to permit the reaction to proceed for about a few seconds to about 10-15 minutes after reaching the desired pH, to provide a period for hydrolysis of acid anhydrides and neutralization of the resulting acids. Extraction of the so-treated beta-lactone should begin as soon as possible after the end of the acid and acid anhydride neutralization period. Prolonged standing at reaction temperature results in a reaction between the lactone and the alkali or salts formed through neutralization' mixture; Examples of such liquids-are carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, diethylene chloride, diethyl'ether, chlorinated ethers, liquid aromatic hydrocarbons and halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons such as= benzene,- toluene, xylene and the like. The preferred solvent is chloroform. "The volatile organic solvent can be removed from the-beta-lactone by distillation to yield lactones of a very-high degree of purity. 'Beta-lactoneshaving an acidity" calculated in milliequivalents per gram (m. eq.'/g.-) -we11 below 0.1' and most" often between 0.03 and 0. '5 canbe consistently obtained. The'beta-lactones thatcan be purified by our method include beta propiolactone, beta-hydroxy butyric acid lactone, alpha-methyl beta-propiolactone, *beta-hydroxyn=valeric acid lactone, beta-hydrox-y alpha-methyl buty'ric-acid lactone, alpha-ethyl beta-propiolactone, betahydroxy' isovaleric acid lactone, beta-hydroxy-n-caproic acidlactone, beta-hydroxy alpha-methyl valeric acid lactone, beta methyl beta-ethyl beta-propiolactone, alphamethyl beta-ethyl beta-propiolactone, alpha-propyl betapropiolactoneand the like; beta lactones ofsubstituted aliphatic carboxylic acids such as-beta-phenyl- 'beta propiolactone, alpha-phenyl beta-propiolactone, beta-chloro-ethyl 'beta-propiolactone, beta-benzyl beta propiolactone, beta-cyclohexyl beta-propiolactone-and the' likeiand other'la'ctones of the general type described above. -"0ur= novel methods can be used for purifying distilled, flashed or crude beta-lactones or beta-lactones containing added acetic anhydride. The process isapplicable' to both batch and continuous purificationprocedures, as 'willl be apparent from the specific examples-set forth herein. Example 1 A solution of 100 g. of flash-distilled-.beta-propiolactone of 84.5% purity, having an acidity of 0.801 milliequivalents per gram, was prepared by dissolving, it in 37.5zgrams of water. between -15 C. and the solution of lactonewas stirred vigorously during addition of-6 N.NaOH solution. The. pH of the mixture was held at about -9 throughout the entire purification cycle, Which-required about. 1 0.minutes. At the expiration of this-period, the. purified lactone was extractedwith .three- 100ml. portions of chloroform. The latter solutionwwasseparatedsbyx distillation.

As the'treated lactone-alkali solution emergedt-fi'om. the mixenwit-was againcooledby' circulating acetonez-at' 10- C. The mixture, which contained. about 117%- lactone, was then pumped through'a-dispersingihead. into the bottom of a packed extraction column filled with chloroform. This column was.cooled with circulating water. Controlled amounts 10f chloroform were continuously fed into the top of the extraction unit and withdrawn from the bottom. Thev aqueous-raflinatea-was' withdrawn from the top of the extractor. The-extraction was. run close. to the flood stage With.IGSP EQtT-t0 the water-immiscible solvent. In this manner, the-aqueousmixture of lactone and alkali wasin contactwith chloroform for substantially the entire length of the extracting column. A total ofabout two minutes expired. from the time the lactoneand alkali solution entered the .mixerzto the time the .mixture entered .theextractionapparatus. After. the. aqueous phase was introducedzintothebaseof the ..column, about four minutes elapsed "before it .appeared at the. top. .The purified lactone which wasseparatedfromihe chloroform. by. distillation, had a. purity of 98.2% and anacidity of .034 meq./g. .The.yieldwas 93'.6%. Example 5 vof 0.408 m. eq./g. After purification 'the' lactone content was'99'.56% an'dl'the acidity was .057 m. eq./ .g.v The overall recovery oflactone was 89.6%.. In: run a. ratio of about 5.4 grams. of approximately"0.5% aqueoussodium hydroxide solutionlfor each gram of lactone was used. In each of. these examples a water-soluble"lactoneuis purified and extracted withawater-immiscible solvent. It is to. be understood, however, that modifications; of these'steps are possible. Foriinstance, .the lactones con- ;taining acid .and' acid-forming impurities can be "first dissolved'in awater-immiscible solvent,. such as ahalogenatedaliphatic hydrocarbon or aromatic hydrocarbon, and vigorouslystirred anaqueousalkaline material of the-type described; The aqueous" and water-immisci- *bl'e -phases can then be separated 'by any "well 'lmown means; including *decantation, centrifugation or other gravitational means. Beta-lactones which are very sparingly soluble in water can be treated by this latter method. As an alternative process, the sparingly soluble lactones can be stirred vigorously with an aqueous alkaline material and then separated from the water layer without the use of an extracting solvent. Any well-known method of separating two immiscible liquids can be used for this purpose. Gravitational means, decantation and centrifugation are satisfactory. If any of the modified methods are employed, it is essential that the pH and temperature be regulated within the limits set out above in order to reduce side reactions of the lactone to a minimum. Because of the ease with which the acid and acid-forming impurities dissolve in the water-immiscible lactone or extracting solvent the rate of removal of impurities is usually somewhat slower than in water solution and for that reason it may be necessary to increase the mixing time to about minutes or slightly more before hydrolysis of acid anhydrides is complete. Although sodium hydroxide is the alkaline material employed in the specific examples described above, it is to be understood that any other material which is insoluble in the water-immiscible extracting solvent and capable of raising the lactone-water mixture to a pH of 7.5 or higher can be substituted. The solubility of the alkaline material in water need not be high. Calcium and magnesium oxides whose water solubilities are very low have been used to purify the lactones. Mixtures of alkaline-reacting inorganic materials can be used. When water-soluble carbonates are employed, it is necessary to avoid long contact between the salt and the lactone. These carbonates are known to catalyse the formation of lactone polymers, through unstable intermediates. The polymers have characteristics considerably different from the monomers and are undesirable for our present purposes. When such carbonates are used it is also desirable to keep the reaction temperature as low as possible. Even though all precautions are taken, yields with carbonates are usually lower than those Where sol-. uble hydroxides or relatively insoluble oxides act as the purifying ingredients. Alkaline ammonia compounds also react fairly rapidly with beta-lactones, and the same precautions should be used as those described for water-soluble carbonates. The mechanism by which the purification of beta-lactones is effected is believed to be one which involves differences in reaction rate under the particular pH and temperature conditions. Thus, the rate between the acids and acid anhydrides and the alkaline material in the aqueous mixture is appreciably greater than that between the alkaline material and the lactone. As a consequence, salts of the acids and acid-forming substances are formed before the alkaline material can react with the lactones, so that there is little loss of lactone during this stage of the purification. If, at this point, a waterimmiscible solvent is added to the mixture, the lactone is separated from the alkaline material and there is no further possibility of lactone hydrolysis. Other means of rapidly separating the lactone from the aqueous alkaline material are also useful. The small amounts of acetone, formaldehyde or other unreacted, water-soluble components used in preparing the beta-lactones are much more soluble in water than in the extracting organic solvent, and, therefore, they are retained in the aqueous phase during the lactone extraction. The purified beta-lactones have many useful purposes, primary among which is that they serve as starting materials for synthesis of many organic derivatives, as, for example, the conversion of beta-propiolactone to acrylic acid.

Apple granted patents for iOS audio controls, Game Center and Camera app
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on Tuesday granted Apple three design patents for iOS assets, including the audio controls seen as part of the iPhone and iPod touch's multitasking bars, the Game Center's "Me" page and the Camera app's camera selection button.Apple continues to patent nearly every facet of iOS, and the latest bundle of issued filings is no exception as the company now has rights to three graphical interface designs used in the most current iteration of the mobile operating system.
The first patent covers the audio controls "hidden" in the iOS multitasking bar, which in this iteration is limited to the iPhone and iPod touch. Shown are the screen rotation lock icon, rewind, play and fast forward buttons and the "Music" app icon.
Source: USPTO
Next is the Game Center's "Me" homepage, which displays the number of games a user has attached to the service, points, friends, status and other settings iconography. In the app, the skeuomorphic design resembles a felt card table with ribbon banners and a set of four icons along the bottom row, though Tuesday's patent only covers the page's basic layout.
Finally, Apple has patented the Camera app button that allows users to select between the front-facing and rear-facing imagers of their iOS devices.
The audio control and Camera button designs were filed for in 2012, with Imran Chaudhri and Ollie Wagner credited as inventors, respectively. Apple's Game Center design was filed for in 2010 and credits Mikio Inose and Marcel van Os as its inventors.
On Topic: patents
- Apple tech monitors device aging, adjusts operating parameters to ensure optimal performance
- Apple exploring device pairing with Touch ID, camera privacy using diffusers
- Apple's 'attack detection mode' would protect iPhone owners in emergency situations

'The Bachelorette' host Chris Harrison: Don't judge Zak Waddell by his abs
By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski, 05/29/2013
The Bachelorette
Chris Harrison
is hinting that Zak
Desiree Hartsock
's shirtless suitor with six-pack abs, is a guy to watch for this season.
"Keep an eye on Zak. I know you might've thought this guy is a d-bag, he shows up with no shirt and jumps in the pool, but I would call Zak the [
Lindsay Yenter
] of the season. She wore a wedding dress Night 1, it was a disaster, she was about to go home, but Zak will redeem himself and surprise people so please don't judge him by his abs," Harrison
TV Guide
in an interview.
Zak is apparently only a portion of what Harrison dubbed one of the best
The Bachelorette
casts ever and a season that will stand out amongst the rest.
Reality TV World: The Bachelorette 9
More The Bachelorette 9 News
"It may be our best season ever as far as the group of people, the drama, the intrigue, the love, the roller coaster ride -- there's so much to it and it happens so early. In Episode 3, the fireworks really start and from there on it's ridiculous," Harrison explained.
Harrison also promises the ninth season will be a sexy one, which he hadn't anticipated happening before filming began.
"I was more worried about Des than I was about [
Emily Maynard
] as far as how sexy it would be. Would she be guarded and worried about her perception? She talked the talk early on, which they usually do, and told me, 'I'm going to be vulnerable and if I feel like kissing the guy I will.' But she delivers and in Episode 2 she's kissing guys and wearing bikinis," the host told
TV Guide
"She could not be more different than Emily. Emily had this certain flair about her, but Des is really just the girl next door, and you could put her in any city in America and she'd fit in. She's going to have the appeal that women will want to root for her and maybe empathize with her and guys will want to be with her.
In addition, Harrison insisted the best entrance of
The Bachelorette
premiere on Monday night went to Ben. However, the host admitted he initially thought Ben bringing his son along on a reality dating show would backfire on him.
"Ben and his son was by far the most adorable moment of the night. By the way, as soon as he stepped out, I'm like, 'No he didn't. This is a disaster.' All the way up until the kid opened up his mouth, I thought it the worst idea ever," Harrison noted.
"Two minutes later, I was eating my words because it was the most precious moment. Also we could hear the kid's audio when he said, 'I want to stay in the party,' but we didn't have a camera on it so I'm glad we still used it. It was a huge risk, but when you saw Des eat it up, it was a homerun."

Report: Bucs Offer D-Line Coach To Vikings' Dunbar
Written by
According to a story out of Minneapolis in the
Star Tribune
, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have submitted an offer to Karl Dunbar to be their defensive line coach. Dunbar has been with the Vikings since 2006 when he was hired by former head coach Brad Childress to coach the Minnesota defensive line.
Dunbar's contract has run out as has Todd Wash, the Bucs defensive line coach the past three seasons. Dunbar has gotten good production out of a very talented Vikings front four. Defensive end Jared Allen has been one of the best defensive linemen in football during his three years with the Minnesota. Defensive tackles Pat Williams and Kevin Williams have also been productive, as has left defensive end Ray Edwards. Edwards is a free agent in a few months as long as a collective bargainning agreement is reached.
The Bucs could be looking to improve their pass rushing potential as they finished second to last in the NFL with only 26 sacks on the season. The defense was led by defensive end Stylez White with 4.5 sacks. The Buccaneers have invested a first, second, and third-round pick in defensive tackles over the past two NFL drafts.

This is promising. Maybe the owners do have hope that there will not be a long lockout, so they are allowing the GM to go and hire some coaches. That would be interesting.
January 11, 2011
9:52 pm
why we getting a new dl coach ,please go out and grab a Lb coach and DC to many young guys not enough experience and leadership and no one who plays with alot of fire and emotion. to many lead by example guys and u know what that means if one player plays bad then the others follow and play bad too
January 11, 2011
4:07 pm
We need a new S&C coach, LB coach and it does seem a DLcoach. Wash just isn't getting it done after 3 years. Its time for a change. Vikes have had a good line even before Allen so Dunbar has been doing something right. Its a plus if hiring him helps us pick up a quality end. This line hasn't been good since Marinelli and Rice left.
January 11, 2011
3:45 pm
Does this mean we get Ray Edwards if he becomes a FA. That would be great but it would be even better if we can get Charles Johnson too. Charles Johnson at RE and Ray Edwards at LE. Both keep there positions for there former teams and we would then get one of the best D-Line in the NFL. Then we would need a Thumper at MLB.
January 11, 2011
3:13 pm
Dunbar has improved DLs at every level, everywhere he has coached. The Bucs would appear to be the perfect opportunity to add to his resume. The talent is here on both sides of the line. Great facilities and no state taxes, plus an established QB and HC. It should be a slam dunk.
January 11, 2011
1:06 pm
Sounds good to me. I liked this guy and had an eye out for him even when he was with the Vikings all these years. I don't hate Wash, but by the players own admission he is not great at teaching a variety of pass rushing moves. If Morris wants his D-linemen to use an array of moves then it's time to go in a different direction. It can work either way. M. Strahan really only used 2 moves and was an effective pass rusher. However, I think the ones that have the most success rushing from the 4-3 DE position use at least 3 moves.
January 11, 2011
12:28 pm
I believe this would be very good for everyone. I hope it happens.
January 11, 2011
11:38 am
not saying Dunbar wouldn't be an upgrade, but doesn't he look good because he is coaching very talented players. Jared Allen and Ray Edwards are a lot higher up the food chain as defensive lineman then Stylez and the rest of the platooning defensive ends here in Tampa. By no way am I condoning keeping Wash, but we aren't really comparing apples to oranges here. If Dunbar comes and gets our Dline to play decently like the Vikes, or if he's a tool to get Edwards here, then hooray for us.
January 11, 2011
11:03 am
Makes sense.. Obviously they see him as an upgrade to Wash and a better developer of talent. We'll come away with at least 2 DE's in the draft to go along with McCoy/Price/Miller et al. Very high ceiling with this talent and best to make sure it gets cultivated the right way
January 11, 2011
11:02 am
I would piss myself if this deal goes through....please sign!
January 11, 2011
10:45 am
Edwards is 26, he's young enough to make a 3-5 year impact with the team and he'd be much easier to get if we had Dunbar. As much as this team took heat for players NOT wanting to come here in the past due to coaching, who WOULDN'T want to come play for this team now? This is of course above and beyond that fact that Dunbar actually appears to have done a fantastic job with the Vike's D-line. For Wash's part, I'm not sure it is "fair" to label him a failure with a combination of rookies and underperformers..... but it is what it is. Go Bucs!
January 11, 2011
10:09 am
He may be a great coach, but the other aspect is possibly positioning themselves to entice Ray Edwards to Tampa. Seems like a smart move.
January 11, 2011
9:51 am
He gets to avoid that horrible weather and will be coaching a handful of young, high draft picks next year. Sounds like a move that makes sense.
January 11, 2011
9:51 am
Dunbar would be a great choice for our new DL coach. He's a young guy with lots of experience working with talented DLs in Minnesota, Chicago, and LSU.

An easy to pitch design is combined with plenty of space and an all weather material in the Vango Drummond 5-person tent.
This Vango tent has handy colour coded poles and tabs that make it extremely easy to pitch. Bright orange guy ropes help to keep it sturdy, while also ensuring you can make it back to your tent without tripping over them, even in low light.
The linked in groundsheet ensures that this 5-person tent will stay dry inside. This Vango tent is designed to hold up against all weathers, from a light drizzle to a torrential downpour, and has a HH rating of 3000 mm. Perfect for dealing with the unpredictable British seasons.
A full mesh door allows you to ventilate the tent without letting any creepy crawlies in while the polyester inner tent is designed to keep out as much early morning light as possible, allowing you to enjoy a well-deserved lie in before a day of outdoor activities.
The Vango tent is a great option for first time campers, for hassle free camping no matter what the weather.
