LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) -- Some Indiana inmates are using borrowed or synthetic urine to cheat on drug tests required by probation.
But authorities are catching on to the trick.
The Journal & Courier reports officers in community corrections programs in the Lafayette area have caught several offenders using tubes or other devices to pass off acquaintances' "clean" urine as their own. Others purchase a synthetic liquid that purportedly can pass as authentic urine.
Tippecanoe officials say they've caught inmates using the substance in an effort to beat drug tests so they can continue using drugs at will.
What officials are increasingly encountering is a fake urine that's purchase on the Internet or at headshops and is generally marked as a novelty item. Labels warn it isn't fit for human consumption.

INDIANAPOLIS — Thousands of Indianapolis commuters are bracing for big disruptions as highway crews are scheduled to close a stretch of Interstates 65 and 70 in the city's downtown early today for an expected two-month project.
Crews will lower pavement under seven bridges that have been hit repeatedly by oversized semi loads. The section will be closed to through traffic effective 12:01 a.m. Tuesday, although some exit and entrance ramps will remain open. The closure is meant to complete the $12.4 million project by the end of October, according to the Indiana Department of Transportation.
The agency reports there have been more than 400 bridge strikes since 1999 in the section, which carries an average of 109,000 vehicles a day.
"We've had a persistent, repeating and continuous problem of oversized loads, trucks with heights of 13 feet 6 inches or greater, using this downtown route and striking these bridges," agency spokesman Nathan Riggs said.
The project will increase the bridge clearance to at least 14 feet, 9 inches.
Bridge strikes are a serious hazard, Riggs said, damaging the structures and sending debris flying onto the pavement. One strike in February fractured a beam supporting one of the bridges, causing emergency repairs that shut down north I-65 and east I-70 for a couple days.
Through traffic is being detoured to Interstate 465 around the city, but many motorists heading downtown will have to take new routes.

Rob Hoverman told the Daily Journal it typically takes him a half-hour to make the drive from his home in Franklin to his downtown office.
"I would suspect just knowing the way we function around here, it's probably going to double the commute if things get backed up," he said.

Flooding defence funds deadline put back
Updated 4:07pm Tuesday 11th March 2014 in News
A deadline to submit bids for funding for flood defence schemes has been moved back to the end of the month.
The Environment Agency had originally said yesterday was the deadline for projects which would be submitted for funding.
It is expected that the £123m Western Conveyance scheme – which would carry flood water around Oxford to the west of the city – will be included in the bid.

Research reveals dangers of walking and texting
8:30am Thursday 23rd January 2014 in News
TEXTING on the move affects the way people walk and may expose them to danger, according to new research.
Writing texts while walking can alter posture and balance, say scientists who studied the effects of mobile phone use on 26 healthy volunteers.
Participants in the Australian study walked at a comfortable pace in a straight line over a distance of around 28 feet.
Each was asked either to walk without a phone, or to walk while reading or typing a text. At the same time, their body movements were analysed in three dimensions.
Texting, and to some extent, reading, was shown to modify body positioning while walking. While texting, participants walked more slowly and were more likely to swerve from a straight course.
Although the arms and head moved with the chest to facilitate reading and texting, increased head movement could have a negative effect on balance, said the researchers, whose findings are reported in the online journal Public Library Of Science ONE.
Texting pedestrians may be more at risk when navigating obstacles or crossing roads, they added.
Study leader Dr Siobhan Schabrun, from the University of Queensland in Australia, said: "Texting, and to a lesser extent reading, on your mobile phone affects your ability to walk and balance. This may impact the safety of people who text and walk at the same time."

DNSChanger is a trojan that will change the infected system's Domain Name Server (DNS) settings, in order to divert traffic to unsolicited, and potentially illegal sites.The trojan is usually a small file (about 1.5 kilobytes) that is designed to change the 'NameServer' Registry key value to a custom IP address. This IP address is usually encrypted in the body of a trojan. As a result of this change a victim's computer will contact the newly assigned DNS server to resolve names of different webservers.
Variant: Trojan.Win32.DNSChanger.al
Lately we got a few samples of this trojan that were named 'PayPal-2.5.200-MSWin32-x86-2005.exe'. This trojan was programmed to change the DNS server name of a victim's computer to 188.8.131.52 address. The Registry key that is affected by this trojan is:

In front of me is the Miami Dolphins' media guide, vintage 1979. The size of a beverage card, but thicker. Cover shot — Delvin Williams, one of Shula's flashiest backs. Williams, who thrived on the crease and cutback, rejoicing the 1,258-yard blowout march of the season before, a Miami record that held for a quarter century.
Inside, the page that interests me most, some 31 years later, is the one that features the club's administrative titles from that era. The non-football types, the business side of things. There are 21 names listed, including team owner Joe Robbie. Robbie is described in his bio as a "Horatio Alger character in Stephen A. Douglas' clothing," all the creative hand-wringing that went into that one. There are two team VPs — his wife Elizabeth (no bio) and son J. Michael.
Zip ahead to today, to the depths of the Dolphins' 2009 guide. Same 16-game schedule, but there are now 102 corporate names on the Miami payroll, including 23 directors and 11 vice presidents. This is for a single football team. It does not include any folks in "football operations." The Browns also have 11 VPs, 23 directors. By comparison, Motorola employs seven vice presidents. McDonald's has five.
I see all these titles and positions and organizational charts, and I think of something Ed Sabol of NFL Films once said. It has stuck with me. He was talking about his retirement. Time had come to move on, he said. The big money had penetrated the game and it all became so serious and the whole thing wasn't the same anymore.
"Back before I became a forgotten treasure," he said, "The game was different. The people were different, which was only natural. That's in business, that's in your life, that's in your home. Everybody changes as time goes on. The coaches were different. They weren't all glued to the headset, they weren't all glued to the clipboards, they were closer to the players.
"It was like the beginning of anything. It was more down to earth. There was more communication, person-to-person. Now you don't have that. It's a different era, I guess."
Innocence is not the wrong word, the death of it. Goodbye to that yellow brick road. I remember going into the Super Bowl in Tampa a few years back, with all the heavy security measures and checkpoints, the serious men in uniforms and their automatic guns in position around the area, glaring into the crowd. SWAT people. And no tailgating allowed. Lord, the heaviness of it! Inside the gates $11 draft beer was offered to the customers.
Yes, the people have changed. The old-time football men have been replaced by a vast sea of organization charts, the directors and marketers and all other executive monikers. These people have no stories from the front. They're businessmen and businesswomen, and they issue their official press releases and lawyer-approved statements and all the other forms of corporate photocopies.
To them the game equals "the product." Stadium seats are known as inventory. The human face of it, what Ed Sabol once embraced, has been blindfolded and led away to some musty storage space, far from the leather-rich offices where the real money is discussed. …
I'm sorry, this whole thing is turning into a rant and it wasn't supposed to be that at all. Time to clear out the boardroom. It was supposed to be about football stories. And I've found some. I just finished chatting with Pittsburgh's Art Rooney Jr.
His title is also VP, but that's just a name because with him it always has been about the pads and helmets. For years Rooney went out and raked the college fields and heard confessions from coaches and gathered players for his father's team. The Director of Personnel, where football was not learned from behind some mahogany desk.
When he was much younger and the Steelers were nothing, a family friend tried to steer him from the toils of scouting. "You don't want that life, Artie. You're a family man. You'll be away from them all the time. Think it over."
"He was right," says Rooney, now 75. "Man, I put a lot of time on the road. I was never home. But I didn't care. I was willing to make the sacrifices. My priority, my passion was that football team. It was like a narcotic to me. I got addicted."
His father, "the Chief," would hand out cigars. Art Jr. hands out stories … fine, aged ones that never lose their taste. Decades of football kept in neat little bundles. His humidor is never locked.
Marion Motley: He was Jim Brown's John the Baptist. By 1955 Motley was a scarred old tank of a runner, gears gnawed to bits, howling and grinding their way toward the boneyard. Few people recall that his final days in battle were spent with the Steelers, not in Cleveland. A sudden comeback bid after a year in retirement.
"We were running out of players," Rooney says, "so we signed him to see what was left. [Former Steelers DB] Jack Butler told me (Motley) was well-liked on the team but really out of gas by the time he got here. He only lasted seven games.
"I remember one time when Motley made a crack about our team, saying that playing against the Steelers was like running downhill. Our players and the press felt they could nail him on that one.
"However, Marion was quick-witted. He talked his way out of it. He said that many of our games at Forbes Field were played while the Pirates pitcher's mound was still raised, so he had a real advantage at those times because he was indeed running down a hill. We all laughed at that one."
Jack Ham: The thinking man's linebacker. Not a destroyer, not a muscled-up pile driver, but a maestro of pursuit angles and balance and slipknot tackling.
"To this day I still refer to Ham the same way — the perfect player," Rooney says. "One year he was playing in the Pro Bowl and Noll was coaching the AFC team. One of our scouts was in the hotel elevator with a bunch of AFC defensive players. Some of them were bitching and moaning about having to learn Noll's defensive scheme for the game. That damn Noll. We can't play this kind of defense. It's impossible to do some of this stuff!
"One of the other players spoke up and said, 'It'll work.'
"They piped back, 'what do you mean, it'll work? How's it gonna work?'
"He looked at them and said, "Ham."
"They paused for a moment. … 'Yeah, it'll work.'"
Vince Lombardi: Hell to beat, but very well admired around the Steelers' organization.
"Lombardi — very much the Rooney-type guy" Art says. "No nonsense, a lot like Noll there. And very Catholic, a bit like Noll there. Very gruff — not like Noll at all."
One year, the league scheduled its offseason meetings in Hawaii, and a number of the attendees decided to take a dip in the Pacific Ocean.
"We were riding the waves at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. Lombardi was there. He looked right at me and said, 'Rooney, you have the biggest opu on this beach.' The lifeguard was this young Hawaiian guy, and he was petrified that the great coach would say something like that.
"He should look in the mirror,' the kid said to me. 'His opu is bigger than yours.' Hey, I was just thrilled that Lombardi knew who I was."
"Later that week I told Shula about it. Don laughed. He said that if the great Lombardi had heard what that kid said about his belly, Vince would've started doing sit-ups right there on the beach!"
Ernie Stautner: Steelers at Browns, ages ago, the hip-hoorays of that city's old Municipal Stadium. Stautner, a mighty tackle, is roaring, shooting hell into the Cleveland offensive wall. Suddenly, an injury. It cuts him down.
"Stautner had to come out of the game," Rooney remembers. "He seemed to be hurt pretty badly and he wasn't shaking it off. So at halftime they decided to give him a shot of Novocain. Well, whatever they gave him it wasn't Novocain. Turned out to be something like sodium pentothal."
Stautner kept rolling in and out of consciousness. Panic. What to do? How many fingers, Ernie? What's your mother's name?
"Finally the doctor hollered out, 'Call a priest!' Eleven of them showed up. I mean, it was Sunday. Weren't they supposed to be in church? Finally one of the priests took Ernie by the hand and said, 'Son, do you wish to confess?'
"Stautner looked up at him and said, 'Father … listen good, because I'm goin' fast. I only have time for the highlights …' "
Sid Gillman: Chuck Noll forever wears the stamp of being a Paul Brown disciple, but it didn't all come from Brown. Noll's earliest coaching checks were cashed as a young Gillman defensive assistant, in year No. 1 of the old American Football League. It was 1960, and there was El Sid and his staff, furiously scheming and ramping up the new L.A. Chargers. They reached the title game that year. They tasted winning, Noll always savored that taste.
"Chuck brought two things with him from the Gillman school," Rooney explains. "The first was weight lifting — taking smaller players who still had a football frame and turning them loose in the weight room. Muscle work.
"The second was film study. Gillman was just nuts about it. Noll told me the assistant coaches would spend hours and hours, cutting and splicing and winding. They'd take the film sections and drop them into waste baskets, which were all tagged and separated by position. Well, one night the cleaning guy came by. The waste cans were full …
"After that they switched to brown paper bags, all very clearly marked — Do Not Throw Away."
Pete Rozelle: January of 1980. The Steelers are arming for their sixth AFC title game in eight years. Lord, what an empire it has been. The league gave a party the eve before the game. Champagne and martinis with ice chips. The commissioner, naturally, arrived on time, shirt crisply pressed.
"All night I noticed that the Rozelles were sitting alone," Rooney says. "Of course, people would go by and say hello and slap him on the back but nobody stayed to talk. I remember when Bert Bell was commissioner, how there was always a crowd around him, that big personality of his, always telling stories. Instead there was Pete and his wife, alone for almost the entire evening.
"I started to feel sorry for him, so I walked over to make a little conversation. As I approached the table, Pete, out of the clear blue, says, 'It is always proper etiquette to congratulate the chef on a wonderfully prepared meal.'
"Huh? I had no idea what he was talking about. The food had been just OK. His comment went right over my head.
"But at the end of the night, as I'm walking out the door it finally dawned on me. I understood what he was saying.
"I was the personnel guy; we were about to go to our fourth Super Bowl in six years. Pete Rozelle had just paid me one hell of a compliment!"

New Orleans hadn't trailed for seven and a half quarters when Detroit took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter of their wild-card playoff game.
The Saints hadn't trailed at halftime since Oct. 30 at St. Louis.
In other words, being down 14-10 at the break at home in the playoff opener wasn't familiar territory.
But New Orleans gave Saints fans a half to remember with explosive third and fourth quarters against Detroit in the wild-card game.
The Saints outscored the Lions 35-14, forced two turnovers and a punt and absolutely stole away any chance Detroit had of an upset.
Quarterback Drew Brees threw for 292 yards and three touchdowns in the second-half and the Saints exploded into the divisional round of the playoffs with momentum.

Norwich — Police arrested a Norwich woman this week on charges she received more than $16,000 in state social services benefits by providing false information.
Sarah Needham, 25, of 95 Cliff St. was charged Monday with first-degree larceny and second-degree false statement.
The case was investigated by the state Department of Social Services, which alleges Needham defrauded both the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Temporary Family Assistance (TFA) program.
A fraud investigation started as the result of a referral to the social service department's toll-free fraud reporting hotline, according to a DSS spokesman.
The investigation found Needham had not reported that her two minor children were not residing with her and therefore was not eligible for the funds.
Investigators say Needham received $10,464 from the TFA program and another $6,444 from the SNAP program.
She is due to appear Feb. 6 in Norwich Superior Court. Bond information was not immediately available.

Two of the best non-champion flyweights in the world took center stage last night (Feb. 2, 2013) as Joseph Benavidez battled Ian McCall in the opening bout of the UFC 156 main card in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Both men were coming off close decision losses to current division title holder Demetrious Johnson and both men were looking to potentially earn a rematch at the crown.
But it would be Benavidez who would walk away with his hand held high. So how'd he knock off "Uncle Creepy?"
Benavidez came out swinging, stuffing a McCall takedown attempt early and cracking him with an elbow, some solid low kicks and going over the top whenever McCall got too close for comfort with both left and right hooks. He blasted McCall with a very good left hand that stunned him at about the 90 second mark, but couldn't pour it on.
It felt like every time McCall got aggressive with his striking, Benavidez was ready to counter with a heavy right hand over the top, repeatedly landing with power and mixing up his attacks well, willing to step in with inside leg kicks and the right hand.
Benavidez went back to work, really trying to knock off McCall's head in the second round, but McCall's timing was better, occasionally catching kicks and throwing knees on the inside. With about 70 seconds left in the round, the Team Alpha Male fighter dove for a takedown but McCall stepped right over it, taking top position and dropping some pretty heavy ground and pound with hammer fists and right hands. Even when Benavidez got to his feet, McCall didn't relent, landing heavy knees to the legs and body to tie up the score.
Whatever momentum McCall started the third round with was quickly halted by a huge right hand from Benavidez in the opening exchange, rocking him and forcing a smile once they'd created separation. McCall tried to clinch and get takedowns, but Benavidez shut them down and would land big shots every time he'd exit a close situation.
McCall did score a takedown, but he was a bit overzealous, immediately passing to side control and Benavidez was able to explode back to his feet and go right back to work, trading blows all the way until the final horn.
When it was all said and done, the judges awarded Benavidez the first and third rounds unanimously with a 29-28 decision across the board.
For Ian McCall, this was simply a case of not getting the fight where he wanted it. "Uncle Creepy" is at his best when he's in the clinch blasting his opponents with elbows, knees and dirty boxing or on the ground attacking with submissions and ground and pound. While he wasn't completely helpless out in the open or in the cage center trading strikes, that's simply not his biggest strength right now and Benavidez was able to get the better of nearly every single exchange on the feet. McCall scored a potential round-winning takedown in the third round but in his quest to gain a dominant position and immediately pass guard, he gave Benavidez just enough space to scramble back to his feet and he was never able to take the fight to the canvas again.
Despite being 0-2-1 since signing with the UFC, McCall deserves to face the best opponents possible. He's held his own against both Benavidez and Johnson, just barely coming up short. Bouts against the likes of John Dodson, Chris Cariaso or a rematch against Jussier da Silva would all make sense.
For Joseph Benavidez, he did a terrific job of forcing McCall to fight his fight, keeping the bout on the feet and with plenty of free space to roam, lunge in with attacks and counter the Team Oyama fighter's aggression with heavy right hands and ferocious leg and body kicks. Benavidez's striking looked sharp and every time the fight entered close quarters, he'd always make sure to exit with damage, throwing either a kick, elbow or punch during the separation. His only mistake was an ill-advised takedown attempt which gave McCall control for the final 70 seconds of the second round. Other than that, he was in pretty good shape throughout the bout, rocking "Uncle Creepy" on a couple occasions but unable to put him away.
With the flyweight division so thin, Benavidez might have earned himself another title shot with his performance. If he needs another win, he could fight current top contenders John Moraga, John Lineker or Louis Gaudinot.
So what did you think, Maniacs?
Did Benavidez do enough to earn another shot at Demetrious Johnson for the title? What could McCall have done to change the outcome of the fight?
Sound off!

RALEIGH — Jeff Skinners name isnt likely to be called when Team Canada announces its Olympic roster on Tuesday, with too much competition for spots no matter how well the Carolina Hurricanes forward is playing at the moment and its hard to imagine him playing much better than this.
Skinner did hear his name Monday, when the NHL named him first star of the week for the second time this season after scoring six goals and recording nine points in four games. Not entirely coincidentally, the Hurricanes won all four and have taken points from nine of their past 12 games (5-3-4) -- a span that includes the first two hat tricks of Skinners NHL career.
In the 11 games he missed in October and November, the Hurricanes scored 1.5 goals per game. In the 32 games he has played, scoring 20 goals, theyre averaging 3.3.
That isnt down to Skinner alone, of course, but it does underscore how important his offensive ability is to a team that isnt always the most dangerous or creative with the puck, and how important it is to the Hurricanes that Skinner stay healthy and focused.
Hes playing off of everybody, Hurricanes coach Kirk Muller said Monday, before the team left for Buffalo to face the Sabres on Tuesday. Hes relaxed. Hes not worried about yapping back at referees and all that. Hes staying away from all the junk that goes on in a game.
Over the course of his Hurricanes career, for all the positives with Skinner one frustration has been the lack of a fit with the Hurricanes top centers, most notably Eric and Jordan Staal. For whatever reason -- and Skinners defensive deficiencies certainly played a role -- Skinner never seemed to mesh with either of them, while he had his most memorable success on the Finns and Skins line with Tuomo Ruutu and Jussi Jokinen.
But Muller tried again in early December, putting Skinner with Ruutu and Eric Staal, and this time it clicked, and continued to click after Alexander Semin replaced Ruutu, and continued to click Sunday night with Staal out and Skinner centering Ruutu and Semin.
Since that group was first put together, in the middle of a Dec. 1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks, no player in the NHL has more goals than Skinners 16. Seven of the first eight came at even strength, then the next five on the power play, then the last three at even strength.
We never tried him with Eric, Muller said. When we first got here, there was speculation that the fit wouldnt be there. We werent scoring at the time. We just kind of experimented. It could have been a real bust.
Muller said Skinner has found his identity as a player, which doesnt always happen right away. Hes not perfect defensively, but Skinner has improved enough in that area to earn more offensive freedom, which makes him less of a liability against other teams top-end players. Meanwhile, hes making the most of his chances, shooting the puck with confidence and keeping the focus on his game.
Part of this is just the natural maturation of a young player. Skinner has been around so long, its easy to forget sometimes hes only 21. And instead of being the only teenager in a locker room full of men, hes now one of several college-aged kids on the roster. Muller, who came into the NHL at 18, knows the value of that kind of peer group.
Tied for ninth in the NHL in goals and the Hurricanes leading scorer despite missing those 11 games, Skinner couldnt have picked a better time to come of age.

Firebird is the classic aid line on Lumpy. It is five pitches long, three being airy aid climbing and the other two great freeclimbing.
Bring doubles from 00-TCU to #3 Camalot and one #4 Camalot. One set of nuts, RPs, tricams, a #1 Loweball, one hook, two camhooks - one skinny one fat. A 60m rope is also nice.

The only certainty is that none of us no what the hell we are talking about. If 1+ year ago someone had mentioned that the 1DsIII and 1DIV would merge into a 1DX, that person would have been called an idiot and flamed beyond belief. The armchair Canon executives can speculate all they want on what Canon will or won't do, but no one really knows. We can hope and dream, but that's it.
No, Canon publicly announced a long time ago that the 1Ds and 1D lines would merge.
I at least have been expecting it and I'm not surprised. The only thing that I wasn't expecting was the name change, but really that's nothing.
p.s no != know.

Seemed like only a small number of staff members could answer our questions regarding subway, location if event, etc. maybe just new staff.
Large comfy quiet room, very clean, good location
Lacks parking and breakfast
Excellent central location off West 35th Street. Located in one of the quiet locations of mid town giving a break from all the madness of NYC.
Found NYC expensive in general so value for money is less than desired in NYC.
The design of the room, the size of the room, food is excellent and the bar.
The location is a bit far from Time square when you take a walk.
Family room was perfect size!
Timeshare sales in front

Lack of carpet and comfortable chairs for room
Great location, all the staff are friendly and very helpful especially Christina who does the breakfast. Food is lovely. The rooms are very big, clean and modern. Will be recommending this hotel to family and friends
The floors in the room are hard to stay clean and got dusty even though it was cleaned daily
Hotel very good for larger family---able to sleep 6 in larger room with pull down beds. Room affordable, spacious & had 2 bathrooms! We chose this hotel due to nearness to penn station. Family able to walk to station with luggage to catch train w/o need for cab. Would stay again with family for short stay.
Huge room for a family of five, and great location. Also appreciated having parking available across the street and the gastro pub in the lobby.
Apartment size. Location. Very helpful staff. Wifi.
Emails from 'the lobby'. Probably aimed at people half my age.
great bed and shower.
shower leaked under door.
Everything was nice , good staff , good rooms and good service. Very good value
Our group of 5 spent 4 amazing days in NYC. Our room had two bathrooms! 5 girls in one room huge plus! All staff were helpful and friendly! You gotta stay here! Thank you, TRYP Wyndham
Room for the whole family.
Get's a little loud in the evenings.
Fabulous room with 2 bathrooms. Lots of space for 5 of us. Great location. Friendly staff.
Sofa bed did roll to the middle and the springs were noisy.
The staff were amazing very happy to help with almost anything the rooms were also a great size we had a family room and had plenty of space for our 3 older children and our infant who was in a porta cot
Clean spacious room. Did not feel skeeved out at all. Nice rooftop terrace. Freshly remodeled and well maintained. Great staff. Quiet and slept well.
A/C blows on bed in rm 213
It had two bathrooms and 2 Tv's It had two King beds in the room instead of two Queens, as the description stated.
Wi Fi Cut in and out.
No valet Room was very very small Bathroom was even smaller. You have to move next to the toilet to close the door. Air conditioning was very noisy You could hear the noise and voices of people in the rooms next door. All that for over $400. Was not worth $100.
Great location, just off 8th avenue and easily accessible to all main attractions. Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms have everything you need. A real find.
A little noisy at night but to be expected in the heart of MY.
Right next to Penn station and near Times Square so a great location. It had a good size family room for the city and the NYPD right next door so a safe area.
No hotel parking, have to use a garage nearby. I advise booking in advance so you don't have to park far away, and garages charge extra for big family cars! Sofa bed when out left no room to move about the room.
Very spacious family room the two tv's was a great touch. Great value for money on a 4 night stay. Very friendly staff from both front desk to cleaning staff. Computers with No charge internet in lobby was a great bonus!
Nothing to say here.

Two teams that have endured their fair share of struggles this season square off in Week 13 when the New York Jets host the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
Since starting the season 4-0, the Cardinals have lost seven consecutive games, going through three quarterbacks – Kevin Kolb, John Skelton and now rookie Ryan Lindley – in the process. The Jets, on the other hand, have dropped four of their last five contests as their failures are, as usual, magnified to a higher degree.
Both head coaches, Arizona's Ken Whisenhunt and New York's Rex Ryan, are on their own respective hot seats, and a strong finish to either of their regular seasons could help towards keeping them on their team's sidelines.
Meet the New York Jets
The last time we saw the Jets, they were nearly imploding on Thanksgiving night, where their rivals, the New England Patriots, scorched New York, 49-19, scoring 35 points in the second quarter of the contest. At 4-7, the Jets are currently 11th in the AFC, tied with the Buffalo Bills, Tennessee Titans and San Diego Chargers.
Once one of the team's stronger points, New York's defense ranks 19th in the league in yards allowed, giving up an average of 354.1 yards per game. Additionally, their average of 26.4 points allowed per game ranks 26th in the NFL.
Meet the Arizona Cardinals
Arizona's latest loss came at home to the St. Louis Rams, 31-17, in Week 12. Lindley threw two interceptions that were both returned for touchdowns by the Rams' Janoris Jenkins. Lindley finished the game going 31-of-52 for 312 yards with no touchdowns and four interceptions.
Running back Beanie Wells, however, returned to action for the first time since late September, rushing for 48 yards on 17 carries, scoring two rushing touchdowns to boot. If Wells, who is listed as questionable this week, can consistently return to action, it could help the Cardinals' rushing attack, which ranks 30th in the league with an average of 81.5 yards per game.
Local Takes: Jets
Tito Javier from Gang Green Nation says it might be time for the Jets to move on from quarterback Mark Sanchez:
"That said, it's no secret that the Jets must move in a different direction. In his fourth year, Mark Sanchez is still making careless mistakes with the football, that at this point, are intolerable. He hasn't proven to the fan base, NFL analyst, and for that matter, the organization, that he is capable of leading this team to a championship."
Local Takes: Cardinals
Jess Root from Revenge of the Birds thinks that the Cardinals shouldn't fire head coach Ken Whisenhunt:
"Firing Whiz doesn't make sense. I believe that he has the talent here and based on his track record (citing he Super Bowl and the 2011 turnaround) warrants one more year to show that it is the injuries that were the issue.
Firing Whiz just doesn't do anything to help the team. Be mad, be upset, feel that someone should be punished. But give Whiz one more year to prove his mettle."

Every week, Rex talks about poor communication and "mental errors" as reason for loss. It is Week 13 now, shouldn't this be worked out?— Kristian Dyer (@KristianRDyer) November 29, 2012

The #Cardinals may say otherwise, but their expectations of this season have certainly changed - bit.ly/Qkbz2i #column— Adam Green (@theAdamGreen) November 26, 2012
Oh man. This is such a sad game. The Cards were 4-0 at one point, and have now lost seven in a row. The Jets are just a depressing team. I would avoid this game at all costs.
The pick: 20-17, Jets.
New York opened the week as three-point favorites, according to OddsShark, but the line has since moved, with the Jets now favored by 4½ points over the Cardinals. The over/under point total began at 37½ but has dipped slightly, now sitting at 36½.
Next Week
In Week 14, the Jets begin a two-game road trip as they head to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars. The Cardinals, on the other hand, head out to Seattle to their face division rival Seahawks next week.

Man I love the labels of the Lagunitas line of beers,this new Sneak Release pours a deep rich bronze with a pillowy 1 1/2 finger slight off white head that settles slowly almost into a creamy-like mass.At first sharp grapefruit and fresh cut grass hop aromas but they do fade quickly losing a bit of their punch but still very nice.I have to say the hops dont pack as much punch on the palate obviously there is quite a punch but not as much to be expected,somewhat dry and resiny up front with a real piney presence a sweetish caramel malt base shows itself in the finish as well the hops do linger a bit.Not as bitter as the label might suggest but still a solid brew from one of my favorite brewers,keep up the good work guys.

On tap at local Flying Saucer Emporium. Pours dark amber red. Little to no head with tan color. Lacing on glass very pronounced. Taste is malty and sweet with an alcohol warmth on the back end. Aroma is pine and grapefruit. Delicious DIPA will definitely try again.

Lagunitas Sneak Release Undercover Investigation Shut-Down Ale pours a clear orange red with a nice creamy head that lingers for quite a while. From the moment I opened the bottle I was hit with big citrusy hop aroma, grapefruit, and pine backed up with a good amount of malt sweetness. The sweetness is predominate in the flavor, lots of caramel and toffee, but there is no lack of citrusy hop flavor. There is a nice bitterness that rounds out the beer, but not overpowering for the beers strength. A bit of alcohol comes through in the finish, but not too much for a beer of the strength.

Only $3.79 for a bomber @ Cable Beverage in Bardonia, NY (this place consistently has the goods)
Pours darker amber, pretty clear, typical darker tan head, leaves real nice striated lacing.
Grainy hop nose, leads to the expected and appreciated quite hoppy nectar. Grainy and resiny hop notes and I get a hint of mint. Pleasant enough, not in the ranks of the world class DIPAs but at that price, its a bargain.

Interesting beer. Pours clear mahogany with a decent, but short-lived head. Floral, hoppy aroma with pine and nuts. Leads you to believe this will be more on the Imperial Red side. Its not. Lots of malt and caramel, with some woodiness. The hops are there, but very tempered, almost run over by the malt. In the end, this is still pretty good.

Clear orangey honey color with a full inch of frothy foamy thick head that slowly settles.
Aroma of grapefruit, floral notes and brown sugar, plus a subtle hint of the ABV.
Rich flavor of pine and grapefruit rind, alcohol warmth, and firm malt backbone to balance it out. Notes of honey, ripe apple and pear, scorched brown sugar. Faint notes of phenols and smoke.
Substantial mouthfeel, full and chewy, some alcohol warmth, followed by a definite tingle across the tongue.
Good drinkability, but it will sneak up on you.

D: One of my favorites. I will miss it until next year as I think i have depleted all of my local supplies. I have purchased at least 20 six packs of this, although much has been shared with friends. A really great beer to sit down and drink 2-3 while watching my favorite sporting event on television

A dark yellow to light orange color, a little ruby highlight to it, good stuff, Lagunitas always looks the role. Big hoppy aroma, standard fare.
Big beer, much like Sumpin Sumpin, but whereas that had wheat, this is just barley with gobs of caramel. The hopping is big and grapefruity, the typical job by Lagunitas. If you're a fan of Arrogant Bastard Ale, this beer should do the trick for you, and its just a tad cheaper.

Had on-tap at the Brick Store in Atlanta.
Pours a clear light copper color with a one-finger off-white head. The head recedes into a thin pancake on top leaving solid lacing.
Smells of citrus and pine hop aromas with hints of creamy pale malt.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Robust pale malt flavors up front are joined shortly by mild citrus and solid pine flavors. Midway through the sip there's a mild vanilla flavor, though with more of a creaminess than most vanilla flavors from oak flavors. The ending is mildly bitter.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a solid thickness with moderate carbonation.
Drinkability is good. I finished the glass easily and could have a few more.
Overall this is another solid offering from Lagunitas. Slowly but surely they're becoming a smaller Sierra Nevada, with many hoppy offerings that never disappoint. This one is worth a shot.

Consumer experts are warning college students they are the fastest-growing group being targeted for identity theft. And there are a bunch of reasons why.
The Better Business Bureau tells WNCN students aren't monitoring their credit card statements like older folks do and they take longer to report fraud. That means the loss is much bigger.
The BBB said identity theft committed against people age 18 to 24 took about four months on average to detect. The average student lost more than $1,000, Which is roughly five times more than the amount lost by other age groups.
The experts have these tips for students to fight this trend:
1) Send sensitive mail to a parent's home or a post office box. School mailboxes are not always secure and often can be accessed easily in a dorm or apartment.
2) Important documents should be stored under lock and key. This includes a Social Security card, passport and bank statements. Shred credit card offers and any paper documents that have sensitive financial information rather than just tossing them out.
3) Make sure your computer has up-to-date antivirus and spyware software. Always install any updates to your computer's operating system or browser software, which help keep your computer safe from any new advances by identity thieves online.
4) Always check your credit card statements closely for any suspicious activity. The sooner you identify any potential fraud, the less you will suffer in the long run.

Hey, I am fairly new to this forum but I think this question needs to be asked.
Who is Robert Guerrero ? Have you ever heard of him ? What has he done in his career to even put his name in the same sentence as Floyd Mayweather's ? I said the same thing about about Amir Khan but it seems to be touching plenty of fighters. How can these people become relevant like that ? They just talk. Don't get me wrong, Guerrero - cool guy, great story but Mayweather ? Really ?
Saddest part is that people are actually thinking about him being a suitable opponent for Floyd.
So, can you please open my mind or at least explain to me, what makes Guerrero THE guy ? Thanks !

It's still speculation. I just highly doubt he weighed in anywhere near 160 vs Marquez on fight night. 148 vs DLH and 150 vs Ortiz are clear indicators he doesn't rehydrate very much at all.

It's still speculation. I just highly doubt he weighed in anywhere near 160 vs Marquez on fight night. 148 vs DLH and 150 vs Ortiz are clear indicators he doesn't rehydrate very much at all.
Let's just roll with the 150 in the Ortiz fight. That 148 that FMJ hollered about in the post-fight interview were his words and his words only. History has proven, that not everything that comes out of FMJ's mouth is the truth. I still believe that he was close to the 160 mark in the JMM fight, but thats just my take on it. Im sure he would've been proud to show off 150 (4 lbs of rehydration), but something tells me that he was more than 150.

I met Jim when he worked at CMP Yacht Sales and I called on them for client referrals. Jim made me feel like old friend right from the start. He had that way about him. I so enjoyed visiting with Jim and hearing stories about his offshore racing days. He truly will be missed! My sincerest sympathies to his family.

In shift away from diplomacy, international coalition plans to fund Syrian opposition groups
ISTANBUL (AP) -- A coalition of more than 70 partners, including the United States, pledged Sunday to send millions of dollars and communications equipment to Syria's opposition groups, signaling deeper involvement in the conflict amid a growing belief that diplomacy and sanctions alone cannot end the Damascus regime's repression.
The shift by the U.S. and its Western and Arab allies toward seeking to sway the military balance in Syria carries regional risks because the crisis there increasingly resembles a proxy conflict that could exacerbate sectarian tensions. The Syrian rebels are overmatched by heavily armed regime forces.
The summit meeting of the "Friends of the Syrian People" follows a year of failed diplomacy that seems close to running its course with a troubled peace plan led by U.N.-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan.
Indeed, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and other participants at the conference in Istanbul uniformly expressed concern that Annan's plan might backfire, speculating that Syrian President Bashar Assad would try to manipulate it to prolong his hold on power.
Clinton said she was waiting for Annan's report to the U.N. Security Council on Monday on the status of his peace plan.
Opposition party: Myanmar's democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi has won parliament seat
YANGON, Myanmar (AP) -- She struggled for a free Myanmar for a quarter-century, much of it spent locked away under house arrest. Now, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate whose nonviolent campaign for democracy at home transformed her into a global icon is on the verge of ascending to public office for the first time.
Aung San Suu Kyi, 66, was elected to parliament Sunday in a historic victory buffeted by the jubilant cheers of supporters who hope her triumph will mark a major turning point in a nation still emerging from a ruthless era of military rule.
If confirmed, the election win will also mark an astonishing reversal of fortune for a woman who became one of the world's most prominent prisoners of conscience. When she was finally released in late 2010, just after a vote her party boycotted that was deemed neither free nor fair, few could have imagined she would make the leap from democracy advocate to elected official in less than 17 months, opening the way for a potential presidential run in 2015.
But Myanmar has changed dramatically over that time. The junta finally ceded power last year, and although many of its leaders merely swapped their military uniforms for civilian suits, they went on to stun even their staunchest critics by releasing political prisoners, signing cease-fires with rebels, relaxing press censorship and opening a direct dialogue with Suu Kyi -- who they tried to silence for decades.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton congratulated Myanmar for holding the poll. Speaking at a news conference in Istanbul, Turkey, she said Washington was committed to supporting the nation's reform effort.
Nomination fight could end in Wisconsin, but state contests and stars gives GOP hope for fall
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Wisconsin voters are just warming up.
The national political spotlight promises to be hotter than normal this year, considering the series of contests in the state that serve as tests on issues confronting the country as a whole. And that's after Tuesday's Republican presidential primary, which effectively could end the race for the nomination.
Energized Republicans sense opportunities they haven't seen in a generation to complete a turnaround.
"You have an incredibly engaged and active electorate right now in Wisconsin," said Mark Graul, a Republican strategist in the state. "That will certainly hold through to November."
They see the chance to turn back a national effort to recall Gov. Scott Walker in a June election stemming from the first-term Republican's aggressive effort to strip public employee unions of power, and to pick a strong U.S. Senate nominee in August whose victory in November would give Wisconsin two GOP seats for the first time since 1957.
Blacks have trouble clearing HPV, study finds; may help explain cervical cancer rate disparity
CHICAGO (AP) -- Provocative new research might help explain why black women are so much more likely than whites to develop and die from cervical cancer: They seem to have more trouble clearing HPV, the virus that causes the disease.
Doctors have long thought that less access to screening and follow-up health care were the reasons black women are 40 percent more likely to develop cervical cancer and twice as likely to die from it. The new study involving young college women suggests there might be a biological explanation for the racial disparity, too.
If further study confirms this novel finding, it would make the HPV vaccine even more important for black women, said Worta McCaskill-Stevens, a prevention specialist at the National Cancer Institute. The vaccine is recommended for all girls starting at age 11.
The study was presented Sunday at an American Association for Cancer Research conference in Chicago.
Certain strains of HPV, the human papillomavirus, cause cervical cancer, but brief infections are very common in young women. They usually go away on their own within a year or so and only pose a cancer risk when they last long-term.
Living history: More than 21 million people could find themselves in 1940 US census records
NEW YORK (AP) -- When the 1940 census records are released Monday, Verla Morris can consider herself a part of living history.
Morris, who is in her 100th year, will get to experience the novelty of seeing her own name and details about her life in the records being released by the U.S. National Archives online after 72 years of confidentiality expires.
"I'd be happy to see it there," she said. "I don't think anything could surprise me, really."
Morris is one of more than 21 million people alive in the U.S. and Puerto Rico who were counted in the 16th federal decennial census, which documents the tumultuous decade of the 1930s transformed by the Great Depression and black migration from the rural South. It's a distinction she shares with such living celebrities as Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman.
Morris, who has been working on her family history since 1969 and has written six books on its branches, said census records were essential for her genealogical work because oftentimes people don't want to give their personal information.
Searchers work to recover body of renowned runner Micah True from New Mexico wilderness
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- Search crews are working to recover the body of renowned long-distance runner Micah True from a remote area of southern New Mexico.
Sunday's efforts in the rugged Gila Wilderness come after a searcher found True's body Saturday evening. He disappeared Tuesday after leaving a lodge for a 12-mile run, and a search was launched the next day when his friends reported the 58-year-old hadn't returned.
New Mexico state police spokesman Lt. Robert McDonald says more than 60 people were involved in Saturday's search.
Incident Commander Tom Bemis told the Las Cruces Sun-News late Saturday that one of True's friends on a search team found him just a mile southeast of the Gila Cliff Dwellings, about five miles from where he was last seen heading out for a run.
Christian pilgrims in Jerusalem begin Holy Week with Palm Sunday
JERUSALEM (AP) -- Hundreds of Christian pilgrims marked Palm Sunday in the Holy Land on Sunday, holding masses and processions retracing Jesus' triumphant return to Jerusalem.
Palm Sunday marks the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem, where he was greeted by cheering crowds bearing palm fronds, according to the Bible.
The day's events began with a mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher -- revered as the site where Jesus was crucified, buried and resurrected. Several hundred worshippers and clergy lit candles and waved palm fronds in the dark, cavernous church.
"It's the holiest place in the world for Christians and it's important for me to come here at least once in my lifetime," said Etienne Chevremont, 49, a visitor from Paris who attended the Jerusalem Mass.
Visitors walked down the cobblestone alleyways of the walled Old City carrying olive branches, palm fronds and crosses.
'Hunger Games' earns $61.1M to top 'Titans' sequel; 'Wrath' trails 'Clash' with $34.2M debut
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- "The Hunger Games" is still the first item on the menu for movie fans, taking in $61.1 million to remain the No. 1 film in its second weekend.
Studio estimates Sunday put Lionsgate's "The Hunger Games" well ahead of Sam Worthington's action sequel "Wrath of the Titans," which opened in second-place with $34.2 million.
That's far below the $61.2 million opening of its predecessor, "Clash of the Titans," two years ago. But distributor Warner Bros. opened "Clash" on Easter weekend, when young fans already were off school and in holiday mode. With Easter coming next weekend, the studio expects "Wrath" to catch up to "Clash" in the next few weeks.
Julia Roberts' comic "Snow White" reinvention "Mirror Mirror" debuted at No. 3 with $19 million. Released by Relativity Media, the film casts Roberts as the wicked queen opposite Lily Collins as Snow White.
Starring Jennifer Lawrence as a teen forced to compete in a televised death match, "The Hunger Games" lifted its domestic total to $251 million after just 10 days.
Mexican police investigate poor border family in Saint Death ritual murders of 2 boys, woman
NACOZARI, Mexico (AP) -- It was a family people took pity on, one the government and church helped with free food, used clothes, and farm animals. The men were known as trash pickers. Some of the women were suspected of prostitution.
Mexican prosecutors are investigating the poor family living in shacks outside a small town near the U.S. border as alleged members of a cult that sacrificed two 10-year-old boys and a 55-year-old woman to Santa Muerte, or Saint Death, a figure adored mostly by outlaws but whose popularity is growing across Mexico and among Hispanics in the United States.
The killings have shocked the copper mining village of Nacozari, on the edge of the Sierra Madre, and may be the first ritual sacrifices linked to the popular saint condemned by the Roman Catholic Church. Known as "flaquita," or "the skinny one," the figure known as Saint Death is portrayed as a skeleton wearing a hooded robe and holding a scythe, much like the Grim Reaper.
Authorities say the throats and the wrists of the victims were cut with knives and axes, and their blood was spread on a Santa Muerte altar. Their bodies were then buried near the shacks where the alleged cult members lived.
"We never knew they were part of a Santa Muerte cult," said Jorge Sanchez Castillo, a 54-year-old hotel owner who has a corn field next to the house of the woman believed to lead the group. "This has been a tragic thing for all of us."
Police in Ky. assess handling of post-Final Four game mayhem, prep for Monday championship
Police say they are prepared to control crowds near the University of Kentucky's Lexington campus when the Wildcats play Kansas in the national championship basketball game.
Lexington police spokeswoman Sherelle Roberts told The Associated Press on Sunday that several hundred officers will be out in force on Monday to help keep order.
Police plan a few adjustments from Saturday, when thousands of fans spilled onto streets after Kentucky defeated cross-state rival Louisville in New Orleans. Fans overturned cars and torched couches.
Roberts said police did a good job of getting rowdy fans under control. Officers arrested 27 people on minor charges such as disorderly conduct and alcohol intoxication.
Police had braced for the possibility of post-game violence Saturday and resorted to pepper spray, though large amounts weren't needed before they ultimately began dispersing the throngs.

The sign in front of Small Cakes cupcakery at 420 North Range Line Road says it best: "Maybe a cupcake will help"
Small Cakes has joined forces with Rebuild Joplin for the month of May to raise funds to help get families displaced by the May 22 tornado back into their homes.
"Our mission in 2012 is to rebuild or repair 100 homes for 100 families," says Kate Massey of Rebuild Joplin. "We joke about it, but we're rebuilding houses one cupcake at a time."
$0.75 of the $3 cupcakes, dubbed "Rebuild Cupcakes", goes to Rebuild Joplin.
A lot of thought was put into the design of the cupcake. From the actual cake to the frosting, the mix of chocolate and vanilla signifies how the City of Joplin has recovered.
"We went with the marble, coming out of the darkness and into the light, the light tops it off," says Small Cakes owner Deanna Johnson. "There's people that aren't back in their houses yet and they need to be, and so we need to get them back in their houses, so that's what we thought we would work on."
Since their debut at the beginning of the month the cupcakes have been in high demand, the title alone caught the eye of Joplin resident Renita Kitchingham.
"I think it's amazing, I think any help that the city can get to rebuild is incredible," Kitchingham says.
For Johnson, the chance to make a difference is the biggest pay-off.
"This is my town and they've been through a lot," says Johnson.
Five other Small Cakes stores across Missouri and Georgia are also selling the Rebuild Cupcakes.
They will only be on sale through May 31.

(Bemidji, M.N.) – Three lawsuits were filed Wednesday in Beltrami County naming the Bemidji School District, ISD 31 as the defendant in cases involving the sexual abuse of three young students at Central Elementary School.
The lawsuits allege former physical education teacher and hockey coach, John Wangberg, sexually abused students in his gym office on Bemidji School District property. In addition, the lawsuits claim the school district was negligent in allowing Wangberg unsupervised access to students, even after they had been warned of his dangerous and exploitive propensities.
"Clearly, it is a tragedy when innocent children are harmed because the adults to whom their safety was entrusted failed to keep them safe. The families of these children want kids to be safer in their community and their schools," said Jeff Anderson, the attorney representing the Plaintiffs. "Today, they stand together demanding the action that should've been taken years ago to better protect children," Anderson added.
In 2008 the mother of one of the child victims reported Wangberg had inappropriate conduct with her child, to the principal of Central Elementary and no investigation or action was taken.
After a second report that Wangberg was acting inappropriately with children was received by a teacher at the school in 2009-2010, Wangberg was still allowed to remain a teacher and have unsupervised contact with children.
Another allegation of inappropriate conduct was reported in 2011 and in December 2012, a report was made to law enforcement. Valley News Live began to investigate John Wangberg, and the Bemidji Public Schools after a concerned parent contacted the television station. The first story about the allegations aired on November 29, 2012. Valley News Live continued to follow the story through December and January when Wangberg was arrested.
In January of 2013, Wangberg was criminally charged with two felony counts of second degree sexual conduct and a gross misdemeanor charge of fifth degree non-consensual sexual conduct.
Wangberg, who taught in the Bemidji School District since the early 1980s, resigned his position on March 16, 2011 and on January 30, 2013, Wangberg took his own life.

Ok, as many of you know, got a '52 last week. First order of business was fixing the PTO throttle. (Also known in the manual as "Rod, Power Take off Shifter", Part #351 970 R31). The old one was a long screw sort of Jerry rigged, and no longer working without the use of a banjee cord and lots of cussing.
So, bought the part from an ebay seller (with good feedback). Got here today.
The part came with the Lever and shaft, cotter pin, spring, and guide.
I removed the old screw, guide, etc. Saved same.
Replaced the old with the new..engaged PTO...and 'bag o hammers' screaming. Hmmm.....
Did some adjusting, etc, no joy. Put the old 'guide' back on and fiddled with that. Nuthin.
So, now I'm at a loss. The PTO when it engages, works great.
I just can't seem to get the guide situated 'just right' (either the new or the old) so the PTO doesn't scream/disengage.
So, what, exactly, am I doing wrong?
(I have looked at the parts manual, service manual, and searched the forums here but no real success, although lots of things to divert my attention LOL).

Obi-Wan Kenobi
A legendary Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi was a noble man and gifted in the ways of the Force. He trained Anakin Skywalker, served as a general in the Republic Army during the Clone Wars, and guided Luke Skywalker as a mentor.
Anakin Skywalker
Discovered as a slave on Tatooine by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker had the potential to become one of the most powerful Jedi ever, and was believed by some to be the prophesied Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force. A hero of the Clone Wars, Anakin was caring and compassionate, but also had a fear of loss that would prove to be his downfall.
Cad Bane
A ruthless bounty hunter from the planet Duro, Cad Bane was the preeminent blaster-for-hire in the galaxy at the time of the Clone Wars. No quarry was too dangerous for Bane... if the price was right. Using an impressive arsenal of weapons and allies, the cold, cruel and calculating Bane would literally track his prey to the ends of the galaxy if required. Bane carried custom twin blaster pistols, gauntlets studded with control devices, a concealed bola, explosives, integrated breathing apparatus and rocket boots, ensuring that he was always well prepared for any situation that may arise.
Jedi T-6 Shuttle
An older design used by the Jedi Knights, the T-6 shuttle was pressed into heavier service by the necessities of the Clone Wars. The half-circle shaped ship has a rotating body, allowing for flexibility of configurations when landing on planetary surfaces or docking with starships and stations. The Jedi primarily used the T-6 as a peacetime conveyance, hence it has no weapons. The ship's reliable hyperdrive and larger interior space meant that interstellar travel in a T-6 was far more comfortable than in a cramped Jedi starfighter. In case of emergency, the ship's crew could launch ejection seats that deploy spheroid survival capsules that not only contain vital atmospheric pressure, but also cushion impact.

Even adherents to the belief that China is about to burst will take no cheer from the news that Chinese manufacturing activity has contracted for the first time in almost three years, adding to fears about the health of the global economy.
The purchasing managers index (PMI) fell to 49 last month, down 1.4 points from October, marking the first contraction since March 2009, it is reported. A reading of 50 indicates the line between expansion and contraction.
Another survey, the HSBC manufacturing activity index, also fell to a 32-month low of 47.7 in November from 51 in October.
The data was released hours after the China eased monetary policy for the first time in three years, with the central bank cutting the amount of money banks need to hold in reserve to boost lending and counter the slowdown.
The FT notes that in a surprise move that was clearly timed to offset the negative impact of the PMI number, China's central bank on Wednesday kicked off a new round of monetary easing by announcing a cut in the reserve ratio for banks for the first time in three years.
"The markets have been handed a powerful one-two combo, in the form of a shocking PMI print and an aggressive RRR cut," said Alistair Thornton, China analyst at IHS Global Insight. "The message is clear: the economy is slowing much faster than expected and the government has stepped into the ring."
Most analysts did not expect monetary easing to begin until the first quarter of next year at the earliest, but Beijing is facing the prospect of a stall in its two biggest growth engines – exports and real estate. Policymakers are now more concerned about supporting growth than tackling inflation and are expected to announce more monetary loosening measures in the coming months.
That reverses two years of gradual monetary tightening in which the government has been trying to cool growth and rein in persistently high price increases in a campaign that appears to have been largely successful.
It is certain that the Government will now be taking an even closer eye on Europe, its main trading partner. Not intervening in the sovereign crisis may not be an option if Chinese manufacturing is damaged further.

BUCKS BEAT: Przybilla interested in coming 'home'
In case anybody hoped we could get some veteran influence in our frontcourt from our late-season pickup, it seems that Joel Przybilla will be looking to go back to Milwaukee--the team that drafted him--to finish his career. Regardless, though, he's looking for a "playoff-caliber" team, and he believes the Bucks fit that description. Also interesting is this quote from him about Stephen Jackson, with whom he has been on a team twice already: "I like Stephen; he's a great teammate. People have given him a bad rap over the years. I've never had a problem with Stephen. I would go to battle with him every night.''

13 December 2012
Speech by John Hendra, Assistant Secretary General and Deputy Executive Director Policy and Programme of UN Women at Preparing for the 2014 Development Cooperation Forum Vienna Policy Dialogue: Advancing gender equality and the empowerment of women: the role of development cooperation. 13 December 2012.
[Check against delivery]
Thank you very much Under-Secretary Wu Hongbo.
We have a very eminent panel with us today, and some very eminent people. I will introduce the panel shortly. But before I do, I would like to briefly outline a few thoughts about where we are on gender equality and the women's empowerment agenda in the post-2015 discussion.
The MDGs undoubtedly had their strengths. As we know, they are simple, clear, easy to communicate, were localized in many countries, and have measurable targets and indicators. Where they've worked, accountability is key. But from a gender equality perspective they have not been successful for three key reasons:
We have learned from the MDG experience. As we've heard already this morning, gender equality advocates want to see women's rights, gender equality and the empowerment of women fully integrated in the post-2015 development framework.
On the one hand, one might argue we're well placed. There is a gender goal in the current MDGs, gender equality was recognized as central to sustainability at Rio +20, and is seen as critical to development in the UN Task Team report "Realizing the Future We Want For All".
But there are some real risks and tensions ahead of us:
So as I see it, collectively we have two choices ahead of us. We can aim for a post-2015 framework that really establishes a new rights-based development paradigm which addresses issues of equality, non-discrimination, participation and accountability.
Such a framework would have gender equality and women's empowerment at its heart, because it is simply not possible to achieve any of these "common goods" if women are not equal or empowered.
Or we can settle for business as usual; by simply tinkering with the current MDG framework, coming up with "MDGs plus", and – perhaps – a goal on inequalities.
If we choose to aim high, this would mean, first that we don't accept the push to simply update the MDGs because we know this won't go far enough and won't address structural inequality.
Second, that we don't yet identify goals without first working out the "narrative" for development, because the narrative is critical to thinking through conceptually what a new development paradigm should look like.
Third, that we don't just identify goals and targets based on the data we already have, because the most serious human rights violations, such as violence against women, are often the hardest to measure.
And finally it would mean that the push for convergence between the SDGs and the post-2015 framework becomes paramount; because we know that the issues of sustainability, extreme poverty, freedom from violence, inequality, and human rights are inextricably linked, and have increasingly morphed into one set of problems.
So it's about choices, and I believe the intense energy and interest in the post-2015 process is not about wanting to see "more of the same" or "business as usual".
Thank you.

Ahead of the Wolfpack's first College World Series game in 45 years, second baseman Logan Ratledge and designated hitter Jake Armstrong were caught playing a pick-up game of Wiffle ball with a youth baseball team Thursday evening.
Ratledge (6) and Armstrong (23) played a game of Wiffle ball in from of the team's hotel with an 11u youth baseball team from Colorado.
"I was in my hotel room looking out the window last night and saw two of my infielders playing Wiffle ball with a little league team from Colorado," N.C. State Coach Elliott Avent said during a press conference Friday."They
were really into it. I mean, it was intense.
"I watched from my room for
about 10 minutes, then went downstairs and watched from the front lawn
of the hotel. They were really getting after each other.
"And it was
instructive for me because I learned that one of my infielders might hit
better lefthanded than righthanded. I never knew that. He really smoked
a Wiffle ball hitting lefthanded."
N.C. State plays UNC Sunday at 3 p.m. It is the Pack's first trip to the College World Series since 1968, when State eventually lost to the University of Southern California, who went on to win the tournament.
"We're happy to change our designation from the only Wolfpack team to go to the College World Series to the first team to go," said Alex Cheek, a pitcher on the 1968 team, after Sunday's game.
The Pack sealed the berth with a dramatic 5-4 win over Rice in the 17th inning of the Raleigh Super Regional – it was the longest super regional game in NCAA history.
When N.C. State and UNC last met, the Tar Heels won 2-1 in 18 innings over Memorial Day weekend in the longest game in Atlantic Coast Conference tournament history.
N.C. State coach Elliott Avent has 648 wins in his 17 seasons and became the program's winningest coach in 2010, passing Sam Esposito -- the coach who led the 1968 team to its only previous College World Series.
It will be UNC's sixth trip to the College World Series in eight years.
