With Wet the Hippo, big-top veteran John Gilkey and associates explore the big bottom
THEATER The sets are gone, and the costumes, and that giant blue-and-yellow tent. Master clown and performance maker John Gilkey has ended his fourth stint with Cirque du Soleil since 1996. But if the wiry, often wild-haired Gilkey is no stranger to the big time, he moves just as ferociously through a bare stage in a small venue wearing not much more than, these days, a bushy beard.
It's been three years since Gilkey last performed in San Francisco — flanked by comedians Alec Jones-Trujillo and Donny Divanian, the deadpan naïfs of his avant-comedy trio, We Are Nudes. Just as the very funny yet vaguely unnerving, off-center style of Nudes occupied some indeterminate territory between sketch comedy and Dadaist destruction, Gilkey's latest venture — the Los Angeles–based eight-member improvisational ensemble known as Wet the Hippo — takes its audience beyond the usual endpoints of improv.
Born out of his Idiot Workshop classes in clown, Wet the Hippo is a big, brand-new baby of a beast, only four months old but charging forward with gusto — and an edgy, searching brilliance Gilkey is clearly thrilled with. He is frankly in love with his cast members, with whom he interacts as director, prodding them from onstage and off. Ahead of their first tentative tour (a three-stop zero-budget swing through Arcata, Placerville, and SF), Gilkey picked up the phone from his LA roost to talk Hippo-thetically.
SF Bay Guardian Wet the Hippo is quite a change from Cirque du Soleil, more low-to-the-ground, very much autonomous.
John Gilkey Yeah, what we're doing now — there's eight of us, there's no budget. Low-to-the-ground is a good way to put it.
SFBG It's a big contrast, but maybe there are similarities?
JG One way I describe the show: I'm taking everything I learned from Cirque about the creation process they have. (Although I should be clear about that: the creation process changed after Franco [Dragone] left.) But I was on Franco's creative team for [his independent Las Vegas spectacular] Le Rêve —I've taken that process and I've applied that to this 10-dollar-a-ticket show with eight people. It's an amazing contrast. And in some ways it's quite similar.
When I'm working with the performers, I work with them similarly to Franco in that he's trying really to get to the nut of the person. His number one question is, "Who are you?" He's trying to figure out what is it about this person that's interesting. Their strengths, their weaknesses, their physicality, their voice, all this stuff — how can we magnify this person into an interesting stage presence? I do that with my little cast here.
SFBG It's an improvised show, but it's clearly not the Harold, or other improv forms we're familiar with.
JG It's something new that we're trying to do, so we're learning about it, discovering it as we go forward, as we search. It's an evolving process. But what I'm looking for as the director, both offstage and onstage — or the conductor-director when I'm onstage — is to try to get everybody buzzing, ringing, in tune, and then see how they harmonize. I think when we hit, it is music. It's on a level you can't quite put into words. This is when we succeed. We don't always succeed. Part of the show is us searching for that, which is also fun. We play a lot with success and failure. When we're failing we try to really make sure that we acknowledge it and somehow use it to our advantage.
SFBG How can failure work to your advantage?
This is for sure a really nice piece, I am sure that many will have the same opinion!
I really apiarcpete free, succinct, reliable data like this.
What a joy to find such clear thinking. Thanks for posting!

If you're waiting on a delivery, maybe Christmas presents, you make have to wait a bit longer. Nasty weather is complicating shipping operations in the Midwest.
With just 4 days until Christmas, Philania Skinner knows these presents won't make it to her loved ones on time.
"I would like them to have them before Christmas, but considering i am coming in right now and the weather storm," Skinner said.
A massive snow storm in the Midwest is making it difficult to deliver millions of packages before Tuesday. At the UPS store on Daniels Parkway and Six Mile Cypress, it's reporting service delays in parts of Iowa and Nebraska.
But they told the today show the weather should only be a minor snag. "We have de-iced trucks ready. We stay very close with our meteorologists which are there for us. They're right across the way so i believe we'll get through a lot of adverse conditions," explained Amy Sitterly, UPS Worldport Operations Manager.
FedEx is also experiencing some turbulence. In a statement FedEx said "Some service delays and disruptions can be anticipated in Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wisconsin."
However, a spokesperson for the United States Postal Service says their deliveries are on schedule.
Skinner plans on calling her family to let them know her their presents will be late. She said, "They'll be preoccupied with stuff from Santa, so as soon as they get it, it will be more stuff anyways. So they'll be happy."

1) 97.2%
Ordinarily, when a team that's held strong in first place after five months falls into a slump, people are taken by surprise. They're caught off guard, and they begin to get worried. If they're fans of the team, anyway. If they're fans of other teams - rival teams - they delight in their rival's sudden misery. Basically, it changes things. It makes people feel a lot less sure about a team that was previously thought to have proven itself.
Those principles don't really apply to the Padres. Sure, on August 25th, they peaked at 27 games over .500, and 6.5 games up in the division. On August 25th, they held the best record in the National League, and were just a game off the best record in baseball. But still, few people ever really bought into them. From the beginning, they were baseball's Cinderella story, but the thing about Cinderella stories is that, no matter how much support they may get, no one expects them to keep going. Eventually, they'll have to look down.
And so when the Padres hit their slide - losing ten in a row, and 16 of 22, to move into second place for the first time since June - people weren't taken by surprise. They weren't caught off guard. They saw it not as a shock, but rather as a demonstration of the universe righting itself. The Padres, such was the consensus opinion, were never supposed to be as good as they looked, and so at last they were regressing back to what they should've been. And what they should've been was a team in the cellar.
In short, the Padres' ill-timed slump didn't exactly aid their fight for respect. It was seen as justification for everyone's continuing skepticism.
A side effect of this perspective, however, is that it causes one to underestimate the magnitude of what has gone on. So maybe the Padres aren't as good as their record might suggest. So maybe people were right to be a little skeptical. That shouldn't take away from the fact that, on August 25th, according to CoolStandings.com, the Padres' playoff odds were 97.2%.
97.2%. Then the slump happened. Things didn't change much in the early going. A loss dropped them to 95.8%. Then 95.1%. Then 95.1% again. Then 92.5%. But soon the decline picked up speed. 82.9%. 63.0%. 48.8%. A few days ago, the Padres bottomed out at 34.4%, after having dropped out of first place and out of playoff position.
Less than a month after holding the second-largest division lead in baseball, the Padres are in a fight for their lives, with a real chance of missing out on the postseason. Even if the Padres were a fraud the whole time - a feeling I'd dispute - to lose that much ground, that quickly, would be beyond remarkable. It'd be historical.
The Padres, right now, are back in first place after having won on Wednesday night. They hold a half-game lead over the Giants, and are even with the Braves. Their playoff odds are looking pretty good at 61.9%. Yet their grip is tenuous. The whole picture could change in a day. There are no longer any certainties, or probablies, and these final weeks could very well cause the Padres to miss out on everything they'd spent so long working for.
And if that happens - if the Padres go on to miss the playoffs - their collapse will go down as one of the biggest baseball's ever seen. To go from odds of 97.2% to missing out completely would, according to CoolStandings' calculations, stand as the seventh-worst collapse of all time, between the Mariners' collapse in 2003 and the Dodgers' collapse in 1962. Sure, you can argue with the numbers. You can argue with how they're derived, and on what foundation they're based. What you can't argue with is that the Padres are staring a legendary collapse in the face.
Because they're back in first, it's important to remember that the Padres are in a good position. They seem to have put their skid behind them and are back to playing decent baseball at a very critical time. Just make no mistake: if they fail, it won't matter how much you did or didn't believe in them as a team. They will have made history.

A good route with good position and great jams. This is one that is somewhat difficult without being insecure.
THis route is on the North Face of the Upper Breadloaves, and sits above the old (closed) toilet and is accessed from the parking lot to the East or West. The route follows the prominent right-facing corner with the jamcrack through and overhang and to the top. The steep and difficult looking splitter to the left is 'Interceptor.'

The Wild have been one of the worst puck possession teams in the NHL over the last 6-7 years, with only Edmonton averaging worse numbers, but they have turned it around fairly dramatically in a short space of time.
Those terrible teams of the last few years were characterised as being very defensive and lacking in any real goalscroing talent. Let's look at the Corsi (shot attempts) For per 60 minutes and the Corsi Against per 60 minutes for the team each season from 2007-08 through to this year to see exactly how good or bad the team was at generating and limiting shot attempts.
-Wild CF60 and CA/60 at 5v5 Close year-by-year:
- Looking at the numbers above, you can see that the Corsi Against outweighs the Corsi For in every season except for this current one.
- Between 2007 and 2013, when the team struggled that badly to possess the puck and generate shot attempts, it made it easy for the opposition to do so, and thus you get those massive amounts of Corsi events against. The defence being incredibly mediocre and incapable of moving the puck didn't help.
- You can see that the the Corsi Against rates hit peak awfulness between 2010 and 2012 before being pulled back to a more reasonable level last season.
- The team has traditionally hovered around 47 to 49 CF/60, but this year has made a huge jump to 52.7. A major reason for this, besides having more offensive talent is the absolutely excellent defensive play.
- While the team still isn't generating enough offence, at least the defensive play has been truly lights-out. It's amazing that some Wild fans are still crowing about how the team needs another big-bodied, physical defenceman (ya know, those Pronger-replicas that are available on the cheap all the time) when this unit could hardly be doing any better.
- You can see that every team except for the Devils has been generating more shot attempts than the Wild.
- The Wild have prevented shot attempts against better than every team except for the Blackhawks, Blues, Kings and Devils.
- The closest comparables for the Wild are probably the Lightning, or, to a lesser extent, the Blues.
- To become one of the elite teams in the league, the Wild need to start generating 5-10 more shot attempts per 60 minutes at 5v5 Close.

We've been going to Hong Kong Chinese restaurant for years. We're so happy they are now even closer to us in Barron Park. Very nice family and cheapest prices in town with extra large portions.

We just wanted to bid farewell to Thai City. The family that ran the restaurant was so nice to children. We miss them and hope they are doing all right.

Mollie Stone's ? Really? Nice selection and all, but prices are shamelessly high for just about everything in the store. Seriously. I expect them to suffer Andronico's fate.

As long as the Eagles are succeeding, they're content.
So far, so good. Boland rushed for 127 yards and two touchdowns, Jones added 121 yards and the team's first three touchdowns of the night and Vinemont rolled to a 34-14 victory over region foe Cordova on Friday night at Eagle Stadium, improving to 3-0 for the first time in 19 years.
Jones had touchdown runs of 22, 9 and 36 yards and Boland added TD scampers of 42 and 30 yards.
Vinemont (3-0, 2-0 Class 3A, Region 7) got on the board on its first possession, capping a five-play drive with a 22-yard touchdown by Jones after he broke through three tackles on a sweep play. Taylor Evans added the extra point for a 7-0 lead with 5:30 remaining in the first quarter.
The Eagles put together an extended drive on its next possession. They orchestrated an 8-play, 57-yard march, ending it with a 9-yard Jones' touchdown with 10:47 remaining in the first half. After a 14-0 halftime lead, Vinemont scored on its first possession of the second half. Jones tallied his third touchdown of the night with a 36-yard scamper for a 20-0 advantage with 9:40 remaining in the third.
The Eagles iced the game with Boland's touchdown runs in the fourth quarter, extending their lead to 34-0.
Cordova's Zack Smith collected touchdown runs of 50 and 64 yards late in the game and finished with 162 yards on 18 carries.
Andrew Minor added 60 rushing yards for the Blue Devils (0-3, 0-2 3A, Region 7), and Andrew Estes had a fumble recovery on defense.
Vinemont quarterback Duncan Harper finished 4 of 7 for 54 yards.
Vinemont (3-0, 2-0) travels to Hanceville on Friday, looking to remain undefeated in another region contest.
Cordova (0-3, 0-2) travels to Winfield on Friday.

Quebec is the largest province in Canada and the only one with French as its official language. It takes its name from an Algonquin word meaning "narrows" where the St. Lawrence River cuts deeply through rock cliffs.
Quebec has strong nationalistic feelings about its identity within Canada and has almost seceded twice (in fact, Quebec has held two referendums in order to seperate but it was not THAT successful.. though in 1996 it was really close...). It recently (as of 2006) acquired symbolic status as a Quebecois nation within Canada.
Quebec was founded in 1763 when France signed Canada over to Britain; the ceremonial head of state is Queen Elizabeth II, and the country's government functions as a parliamentary democracy.
That being said, we are free to talk about poutine.
Poutine is an amazing gastronomic assault weapon invented by a truck driver in 1957. If the Abominable Snowman could be a food, it would be poutine. Poutine is the heavy artillery of the food domain.
Like the foundation to the house, the hull to the ship, like a Red Cross blood drive to Count Dracula, is poutine to Canadians.
Now let me stop here to tell you: this is not the only amazing food combination that a truck driver has come up with. In Pittsburgh there's a place called Primanti's that serves sandwiches with both french fries AND coleslaw piled on top. They're too big to pick up even with both hands. Legend has it that a trucker with no time to spare ordered a plate of food, mashed it all between two pieces of bread and took it on the road.
Well, poutine has a similarly glorious beginning except it's about sixteen million times better (and that's saying a lot).
A hungry truck driver came into Fernand LaChance's restaurant one day and ordered LaChance's special potatos and cheese curds combination. Then he asked for a side order of gravy and POURED IT RIGHT INTO THE BAG ON TOP OF THE FRIES!!!
The earth shook, stars fell from the sky and a few deep sea creatures stirred in the muck as he plunked down at a table, ripped the bag apart and ate the whole thing.
Thus poutine was born and it is here to stay, probably in your arteries somewhere next to the bacon. Empires may crumble and fall, mountains may wear down to dust, glaciers may creep across the face of the deserts but a Canadian's love for poutine will echo onward through the madness of space, for all time.
The End.

How to Look Gorgeous in Glasses
October 22, 2012 at 11:26 am , by Nykia Spradley
Now that cute frames are a veritable fashion accessory (thanks, J. Crew!), we've been taking a break from our contact lenses and embracing the look. We've racked up enough compliments from coworkers and friends and yes, even our guys, to make us wish we could jump in a time machine and share the love with our fourth grade, four-eyed-self. Our one complaint, though is how glasses throw off our regular beauty routine. It's as if there's a whole different set of beauty rules that go with wearing glasses. We had a chance to ask Natalie Coughlin, Olympic athlete and new LensCrafters lifestyle expert, some of her favorite spec-techniques.
Do you apply your makeup differently or use different types of products on the days that you wear glasses?
If I'm wearing glasses, I want to be able to see my eyes, so I'll use Sephora's retractable eyeliner in Slate followed by Givenchy's Noir Couture mascara in Black. To balance out the glasses, I'll wear a sheer lip stain. My two favorites: Tarte's Lust or Tarte's Enchanted. If I want to dress up the look I'll wear a stronger lip: Chanel's Rouge Allure in Inimitable.
What are you biggest pet peeves when you wear glasses and have you learned any good trick to fix them?
I hate getting smudges on my glasses! Even though I try not to touch my lenses, they inevitably end up getting dirty from fingerprints or makeup. I keep disposable eyeglass cleaning wipes from LensCrafters in my purse to easily clean my glasses on the go.
Brows are big beauty trend and they make a big difference for your face. Do you find that wearing glasses calls extra attention to your brows?
I always make sure my brows are in shape, especially when I'm wearing my glasses or sunglasses. You're calling more attention to your eyes so you want to make sure everything looks good. I make sure that my brows are well defined and groomed. I groom my brows myself using a slanted Tweezerman's and brow scissors, Estee Lauder's 2-in-1 Eyeliner/Brow Color to define my brows, then Anastasia's clear brow gel to keep them in place.
You have such thick, beautiful hair! Do you favor certain hairstyles on days you wear glasses?
I have two go to looks on days that I wear my glasses, either soft waves or a simple chignon. For the soft waves, I'll use Pantene's Moisture Whip when my hair is still damp, then will let my hair air dry. After it's dry, I'll use Amika's hair wand with the 1'' barrel to define my waves. For a chignon I'll dry the crown of my hair to smooth any flyaways, then pull my hair into a low ponytail. Then I'll lightly tease my ponytail, then secure it in a chignon with two spin pins.
Are people often surprised when they find out that you wear glasses?
People assume that when I'm wearing my glasses, I'm taking advantage of the fashion frames trend and that they're not prescription. I've needed glasses since the 7th grade and luckily my prescription has remained relatively stable. My eyes are really sensitive and I like to wear glasses, but need to wear sunglasses when I'm outside. Having a separate pair of prescription sunglasses helps protect my eyes, but is also another accessory!

Thread: How to Make Your Own Lard
Results 1 to 2 of 2
#1 How to Make Your Own Lard12-14-2010, 11:23 AMHow to Make Your Own Lard
By Zarela Martinez
Published December 10, 2010
Praise the lard! You heard right. Lard is not the villain its been made out to be. But there is a catch: It has to be home-rendered. Commercial lard is what has given this flavorful fat its bad name. In order to make the product solid, the molecules have to be filled or saturatedand that is the type of fat we need to avoid for health reasons. Home-rendered lard is 2/3 unsaturated and contains oleic acid, the same ingredient that in olive oil helps break down cholesterol.
Lard was the most popular fat until the 1950s, when scientists discovered that animal fats could lead to heart disease. But they did not know the whole story. The products that replaced lard in the kitchenlike margarines and vegetable shorteningswould have problems of their own, namely artery-clogging trans fats and hydrogenated fats.
Today, lard has made a come-back. Professional chefs like Mario Batali even put it on the table or on his menus as lardo and it is again very trendy.
Best of all, it is very easy to make: Buy unsalted pork fat from your butcher and put in the freezer for a few minutes to harden. Place in a heavy Dutch oven or deep frying pan and either cook it in the oven at 300 until nicely melted or do it on top of the stove where you can watch it.

This message, as I say, is to Congress. The rest of the people know the condition of the country, for they live in it, but Congress has no idea what is going on in America, so the president has to tell 'em." ~ Will Rogers

Research interests
Dr. Karowe and his students are investigating potential ecological consequences of elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide. Dr. Karowe's lab is asking how the nutritional quality and defensive chemistry of plants change under elevated CO2, and how such changes affect the growth, survivorship, and behavior of insect herbivores and parasitoids. The ultimate goal of this research is to expand our understanding of the ecological and evolutionary consequences of elevated CO2 to include higher trophic levels. This work has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and the United States Department of Agriculture.

The FX card for UFC 162 unites a mixture of prospects, and veterans for what should prove to be a very intriguing undercard that while light on competitiveness, should more than make up for in violence.
Chris Leben (22-9) vs. Andrew Craig (8-1) Middleweight
Chris Leben infamously began his career as the show's coddled bad boy on the debut season of TUF. Shortly after his TUF stint, he developed into a reasonable fighter, scoring some rather impressive victories along the way. However, he's clearly on a downward spiral at this point. He's 0-2 right now, and up against a reasonable opponent in Andrew Craig. Crag is fresh of a loss as well, but it was the first of his career.
The matchup: Just to cut right to the chase, this is an interesting fight for both guys. Leben will do what he always does; get punched in the face, and hope his opponent hasn't gotten out of the way of his wild hook by the time he releases. Leben's an interesting case study in a lack of mechanics creating efficiency. His boxing is notoriously plodding, and predictable, but he lands anyway.
Leben really does have an underrated ground game, but it's hard to say whether or not he'll need it. Chris is good at defending takedowns early, but he's shown a tendency to gas, and there's a question about his focus. Outside factors have been a constant in his career, from his arrest after the Alessio Sakara fight, to his positive steroid test following the Michael Bisping bout. It's tough to predict what kind of Leben will show up; the game underdog that fought and beat Yoshiro Akiyama, or the oxycodone-fueled journeyman that got beat by Mark Munoz.
Not to make light of Leben's problems, but his health should be a concern for everyone involved. In addition, Craig won't be a pushover. Craig is fairly manic. He's got a quick release when it comes to punching, and does a lot of things at a fairly high pace, resembling a larger but less skilled Urijah Faber.
Still, Craig is no lock. He got hurt by Natal, and Leben could capitalize on his recklessness. With that said, Leben is too erratic at this point in his career. He used to have sturdy takedown defense, and even that seems to waning, which should play a factor against Andrew, who is prone to trip takedowns.
Prediction: Andrew Craig by Decision.
Norman Parke (17-2) vs. Kazuki Tokudome (12-3-1) Lightweight
Both fighters have had little time to acclimate themselves into the UFC, but both have won their UFC debuts, with an assist from Joe Silva.
Parke took out Colin Fletcher in his last bout in a fight that was very very light on action. His clinch grinding style didn't earn him style points, but it'll prove useful against Tokudome, who would prefer to be in top control, or on the feet.
The matchup: Tokudome is like a lot of fighters from the current Pancrase scene; fluid, but not dynamic. While he's got range, he doesn't use it well. Just watch his bout with Isao Kobayashi; he gets blitzed, rocked, and figures his best way to get himself out of the fish dance hole is by swinging some more. Needless to say, it doesn't end well for him. For whatever reason, Shooto (see the Mizugaki/Osawa for another example) and other low profile Japanese organizations always have these sorts of fights on display.
Luckily for Kazuki, Parke won't bullrush him. Parke will look to do what he does best, imitating Jon Fitch, but with less grace. I like Tokudome to utilize his Judo to prevent Parke from getting inside, or establishing 'cage control'. I don't like his chance of convincing the judges of his victory, however.
Prediction: Kazuki Tokudome by Decision.
Gabriel Gonzaga (14-7) vs. Dave Herman (21-5) Heavyweight
Gonzaga was on a nice little run before getting his brainstem obliterated by Travis Browne. We have rules against brainstem punches right? Anyway, Gonzaga has always been a talented HW. With his incredible jiu jitsu pedigree, and a heavy right hand, you'd think it would take him to the top. And it almost did at UFC 74. Alas...Gonzaga shares a bit in common with Dave Herman; two fighters are who don't seem psychologically equipped to handle aspects of MMA that would otherwise benefit them.
The matchup: This fight goes one of two ways. Either one guy loses quickly, or both guys embarrass themselves slowly. This will be a dreadful fight to watch if it goes three rounds. Herman fights like he wish he had a sleeping bag in the cage with him, right next to a plate of smores and those creepy Stephen Gammell-drawn Scary Stories children's books. He looks like he'd rather have a campfire.
Pretty much any derogatory statement about Herman, you can fill in the blanks here. The guy just doesn't seem to care. Gonzaga at least tries, and that will be the difference. Gabe is a fighter that relies on momentum. If he has it, he wins. If he doesn't, or it sways in his opponent's favor, he loses. Still, Herman's porous defense will leave him vulnerable to Gabe's right hand, and a knockdown will lead to a submission.
Prediction: Gabriel Gonzaga by Decision.
Edson Barboza (11-1) vs. Rafaello Oliviera (15-5) Lightweight
Even though Barboza had an impressive win in his last outing, chances are, the loss to Jamie Varner still lingers for most people. It was a brutal beatdown over a prospect many believed was can't-miss in terms of potential. Nonetheless, in MMA, you're allowed a brutal whipping every once in awhile. Not event he greats (our headliner included) have avoided brutal losses.
His opponent is expected to be another victim. Oliviera isn't being given much of a chance in this bout, which is wise, but not certain. I remember seeing his debut live at UFC 103 against Nik Lentz. However it played for those at time, the crowd seemed into it. Oliviera would be wise to keep the fight at a similar pace; in close, and at full speed.
The matchup: Unfortunately for a guy like Rafaello, who isn't a dynamic wrestler, Barboza has some decent takedown defense. While Barboza is still raw in this area, preferring the high-wire sprawls, and limp legs ala Jose Aldo, it's not always wise against a fighter with a strong grip, or an ability to land strikes in the transitions, which is how Varner scrambled his brains like eggs.
Edson won't have to worry about Oliviera's takedowns, but you don't have to be wrestling dynamo to end up on the ground, and Barboza needs to learn how to comfortable from his back moving forward.
Still, Barboza is a treat to watch, and this bout should prove to be another showcase. His height alone will make Oliviera's ability to get inside virtually impossible.
Prediction: Edson Barboza by TKO, round 2.

Rushville Republican
A Greensburg teenager, Ryan A. Rouse, 19, was taken into custody shortly after 3 p.m. Saturday in the 1600 block of South Flatrock River Road following a pursuit that began in Decatur County.
Rush County Sheriff's Department deputy Steve Houston said Rouse was behind the wheel of a Ford Crown Victoria and was tailgating another vehicle as he traveled northbound on SR 3. Rouse then passed the vehicle as passengers in the Rouse vehicle made what were described as obscene gestures to the other motorist and took off at a high rate of speed.
The unidentified driver of the second vehicle called 911 from a cell phone and gave the dispatcher information regarding the direction of travel of the Greensburg man's vehicle as it continued traveling north on the state road at a high rate of speed.
During the trip toward Rushville, a number of accidents were narrowly avoided as other motorists got out of the way of the speeding Ford.
Multiple law enforcement vehicles from the RCSD and the Rushville Police Department attempted to locate the car after it turned west on CR 350S in Rush County.
The car was finally stopped in the 1600 block of South Flatrock River Road where Rouse was taken into custody.
He is charged with impersonating a police officer and disorderly conduct. A bond of $10,000 was set.
Two minor passengers in the vehicle were also detained at the scene.
A 17-year-old female was later released to a parent after the investigation was completed.
Compounding the Greensburg man's problems with law enforcement was the fact that the license plate on his vehicle did not match the registration paperwork and the Ford was fitted with lights and a working siren.
The vehicle was impounded and towed from the scene.
According to Houston, the investigation is ongoing and additional charges and arrests may be forthcoming.

Walter F. George School of Law Professor Stephen Johnson spoke at the Conservation, Restoration and Sustainability Conference at Brigham Young University on Nov. 9. The topic for his presentation was "Is Religion the Environment's Last Best Hope?"
Professor Mark L. Jones published an article, titled "Perspectives On (and In) Legal Education" in the fall 2012 issue of the Mercer Lawyer. He was also a panelist at the Concerned Philosophers for Peace Annual Conference held at Mercer in October. The conference addressed the theme "Struggles for Recognition: Individuals, Peoples, and States" and was co-sponsored by the Carnegie Council. Jones spoke on the topic "Go Ahead; Make My Day, Punk: Towards Peace Through 'Spiritual Justice' – An Imaginary Conversation with Clint Eastwood."
Professor of Law and Philosophy David Ritchie hosted the annual Concerned Philosophers for Peace Conference at Mercer on Oct. 25-26. He also attended the second annual Global Ethics Fellows Conference at the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs in New York from Nov. 7-11. While at the conference, Dr. Ritchie gave a talk, titled "Responsibility in Developing a Global Ethic." He participated in two programs in Brazil in early December. The first was a symposium devoted to the urban pacification policies of the state government of Rio de Janeiro. During the symposium Dr. Ritchie delivered a talk titled "A Meditation on State Violence." The participants in the symposium, including U.S. Consul General John Creamer and Dr. Eric Spears, director of international programs and study abroad, toured the Santa Marta favela as part of the program. Dr. Ritchie also delivered a talk, titled "Outside – Inside," as part of a related colloquium on law and cinema held at the Federal Judicial Cultural Center in Rio de Janeiro. Both talks will be printed in a book to be published in Brazil. Dr. Ritchie was one of the organizers of both events, which were supported (in part) by The Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs—where Ritchie is a Global Ethics Fellow—and by Mercer University.
Griffin B. Bell Professor of Law Jack L. Sammons will have his most recent paper, "The Impossible Prayers of James Boyd White," appear in The Legal Imagination: The Future and the First Forty Years published by the University of Michigan Press. It will be presented at Birkback College in London in March at the annual meeting of the Association for the Study of Law Culture and Humanities. Sammons will also be part of a panel discussing the work of James Boyd White.

IndyCar has released the initial findings of its investigation into the October crash at Las Vegas Motor Speedway that killed Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon.
Speaking at a Thursday morning news conference at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, IndyCar officials said no one factor was to blame in the crash but the accident was the cause of a "perfect storm" of variables.
Here's a brief summation of the news conference:
• The surface at Las Vegas didn't have traditional grooves, and thus drivers were able to use the entire track with no limits. That created dangerous racing conditions in the pack, because there was no reliable or predictable line in which cars would travel.
Since these conditions were difficult to replicate in practice and testing, IndyCar in the future will make sure it races at tracks where there is a limit to the amount of surface the cars can use.
• Despite LVMS being perhaps unsuitable for IndyCars, officials said not all high-banked ovals are viewed the same. Each track will be judged individually as to whether it is fit for IndyCar racing.
• Wheldon was traveling 224 mph prior to the crash and had slowed to 165 mph at the time of impact. When he ran into the car in front of him and went airborne, his car turned at an angle in which it collided with a fence post. The post "intruded" into the cockpit, officials said, and directly struck Wheldon's helmet. Wheldon had no other injuries aside from the blunt force head trauma, which killed him.
• After the crash, there was much speculation that since the fence posts were on the inside of the fencing at LVMS, it may have contributed to Wheldon's death. IndyCar's investigation ruled out this scenario because the car was traveling at such a high rate of speed that the impact with the post would have resulted in the same outcome whether it was on the inside or the outside.
That said, officials would prefer to see the poles on the outside of the fencing if they had a choice.
• The investigation found that other factors, such as the size of the field, the experience level of the drivers and Wheldon's starting position, were not solely to blame in the crash. In addition, the crash itself was the result of a typical racing incident.

Senores y Senoras: ¡Mayor Miguel Bloombito!
Mayor Bloomberg may be a lot of things, but a good Spanish speaker is not one of them.

Guess what a funny mom from Inwood decided to do about it….

DALLAS — In the last month, Dallas police Chief David Brown has moved about 50 senior officers to the city's 911 call center. He said it's not an overhaul, but he is reviewing — in detail — each layer of the center to try to improve operations.
"We're looking at almost an 'all hands on deck' approach," Brown said. "I wouldn't call it an overhaul, because some things we have to keep in place that are working well. Eighty-eight percent of the calls are answered within 10 seconds, and that's not poor... but it could be improved. It could be better, and we're looking to be above 90 percent, which is the standard nationally."
The chief said 25 of his newly-promoted senior corporals will spend the next 18 months in the emergency call center.
"I think it grows their leadership and their perspective," Brown said.
He spent 18 months working there when he was a sergeant in the 1990s. "It broadened my perspective of how police services are delivered to this city, and gave me a keen awareness of how important the conversations on the phone with the clerk are, and those narratives on the call sheets the officers get," Brown said.
After 18 months, the senior corporals will be re-assigned to regular duty, the chief added.
Adding personnel to the 911 center is not a sign that staffing is inadequate, Brown stressed. "We're looking at different types of scheduling — like swing shifts, or how many days off we're giving on the weekend," he said. "It might be too much. I think just saying 'staffing' is knee-jerk and too broad. We're really getting into the weeds in how we can improve the 911 center."
Brown said it will be a balancing act to cover the corporals' old duties, but he said he was looking to find efficiencies in all parts of the department to make up for the staffing moves he is making.
On July 4, a home burned to the ground as witnesses said they tried to call 911 repeatedly but got no answer.
In August, Deanna Cook was murdered as she tried to get help from 911, but the operator was not able to tell officers they needed to urgently respond to Cook's home.
And in September, an operator at a regional call center tried to transfer a call to the Dallas 911 center, but he was met with two minutes and 34 seconds of rings and recorded messages.
"I'm looking at all of our processes in the 911 center to see where we can really increase our response to citizens when they call," Brown said. "We've always said staffing was adequate; adequate is not good enough for Dallas, so we're looking to improve."
The chief said he aims to improve on the city's service anywhere possible. "We think Dallas deserves better service than we saw on the fire call and the Deanna Cook call," he said.

Gasol leaves the Lakers, agrees to deal with the BullsJuly 12th, 2014, 6:55 pm by BY BILL ORAM
LAS VEGAS – Pau Gasol spent six-plus seasons carving out a place as one of the most productive and successful big men in the history of the Los Angeles Lakers. With Kobe Bryant in the second stage of his career, Gasol was the perfect sidekick.
Together, they won two NBA championships; Nos. 15 and 16 for the Lakers.
But Gasol was also the subject of constant trade rumors – once actually traded in 2011, for Chris Paul, before David Stern intervened. In ...Read the rest of this entry »

Arizona, San Francisco, Seattle and St. Louis face uncertainty with Matt Leinart, Alex Smith, Matt Hasselbeck and Sam Bradford, respectively.
Whether it's Matt Leinart in Arizona, Alex Smith in San Francisco, Matt Hasselbeck in Seattle or Sam Bradford in St. Louis, uncertainty abounds. Hasselbeck is the most experienced of the bunch and got the Seahawks to the Super Bowl in the 2005 season, but his health is an issue; he was sidelined for 11 games the last two seasons. The Seahawks were unsure enough to trade a second-round pick for San Diego third-stringer Charlie Whitehurst. Smith, the No. 1 pick in 2005, will get another chance to show that he's worthy of the job. This will be the first time in his pro career that he'll have the same offensive coordinators in consecutive seasons. The 49ers haven't had that since 2003. Leinart steps into the all-but-unfillable shoes of Kurt Warner and will quarterback an offense that's intended to be more balanced than the pass-first scheme of recent years. And then there's Bradford, the No. 1 pick this year, who left Oklahoma after a junior season in which, because of shoulder injuries, he played only three games. The Rams are coming off a 1-15 season in which they scored a league-low 175 points

During the preseason, Mike Krzyzewski didnt hesitate to hand the keys to Dukes offense to Jabari Parker.
After his performance against Kansas, its not hard to see why.
Parker was, without question, the best player on the floor for the first 20 minutes of the game, and his performance wowed even the most seasoned college basketball observers in the United Center.
He led Duke in points (27), rebounds (nine), 3-pointers (four), steals (two) and blocks (one, the only one). The Blue Devils lost 94-83, though, and thats all he focused on after the game not his Chicago homecoming, not his lights-out performance.
It doesnt mean anything because we didnt win, he said. Thats the final result.
It does matter, in the bigger picture. With 27 points against the Jayhawks and 22 against Davidson in the season opener, for 49 total, Parker is off to the best start in Duke history better than Luol Deng (41), Shavlik Randolph (40), Bill McCaffrey (39) and Gene Banks (24). His 60.7 field goal percentage is second only to Banks (77.3) in that group.
Krzyzewski called Parker terrific after the debut. Tuesday, he used the word sensational. His night against Kansas came among the distractions of playing in his native city.
Its remarkable that a kid that is 18 and in his second game can come in here to your hometown and play against Kansas, and he was sensational, Krzyzewski said. He wasnt just worn out towards the end because of the way the game was played. He was emotioned out. But he was terrific, and thats how you grow. And I thought he handled everything extremely well.
Parker was focused on what more he could have done. He could have defended better, he said. He and the rest of the Blue Devils needed to have wanted it more than the Jayhawks, he added. He needs to not settle and to be hungry to learn.
Parker has been doing that type of self-reflection after losses for years. His high school coach, Robert Smith, remembered seeing a young, middle-school-aged Parker crying in a corner of the Simeon gym after his team lost, despite an excellent individual performance. Smith told him he had done everything he could.
If I would have done that, we would have won, the young Parker told him.
Mature beyond his years, Parker will likely continue to be his harshest critic throughout this season. He will return to action at 7 p.m. Friday when the Blue Devils host Florida Atlantic.
Expect him to once again be all over the floor for Duke taking the opening jump at center court, bringing the ball up the floor and handling it off pick-and-rolls, rebounding and guarding in the post and stepping back and hitting 3s.
ESPN analyst Jay Bilas might have said it best before the season.
Jabari Parker is one of the special players, not only in the country this year, but I think hes one of the special players Mike Krzyzewski has ever had, Bilas said. Hes the real thing. And hes only scratching the surface of how good hes going to be.
Team captain Tyler Thornton, for one, wasnt surprised by Parkers Tuesday performance, saying thats how he looks in practice.
Thats what we need from him every day, Thornton said. And I think he can give that to us every game.
It would be unprecedented if Parker kept up his torrid start; Johnny Dawkins set the high standard for freshman scoring with 18.1 points per game in the 1982-83 season. But in two games, hes shown everyone why Krzyzewski has all the confidence in the world in his freshman phenomenon.

"For the first ever SweetWater anniversary beer (yeah it took us 15 years), we went back to our roots, dusted off our original ESB recipe, and gave it a big ol' bump. The recipe consists of 7 malts, one of which Kevin toasted personally in his toaster oven, just like the old days, and 5 different styles of hops. In true SweetWater style, there is no style, but it's big, bold, and meant to grow old, meaning this beer will be fantastic out of the gate, or you can lay her down in the cellar for many years to come. " Brewed in the style of an Imperial ESB/American Strong Ale. This is SweetWater's 15th Anniversary ale, released February 2012 in 22 oz. bottles and on limited draft.
Poured from a 22 oz. bottle to a SweetWater snifter. Served above 52º Fahrenheit.
(Appearance) Pours a medium creamy froth head of a tan-white complexion over a dense hazelnut-copper body. Retention is good and lacing is light and streaked. 4
(Smell) Malt complexity, lots of medium toasted grain malts, some earthy caramel malts and a strong fruit profile is present here with notes of underripe raisin and fig. Bitter, earthy hops provide a spicy, floral hop aroma and an assertive perceived bitterness. Some bold alcohol notes are quickly gaining ground. Potency is medium-high. 3.5
(Taste) Reminiscent of a big ESB or even a young barleywine, with lots of grainy, nutty caramel malt notes and bitter earthy hop profiles with a sharp alcohol booziness to pair. Drinkability is impeded somewhat by the alcohol, but I enjoy the assertiveness of the malt and hop build as they are very much indicative of a very strong ESB. 3.75
(Mouthfeel) Texture is slick, mildly chewy, smooth. Carbonation keeps the texture smooth with a creamy consistency for a subtle mouthfeel. Body is medium/high for an Imperial ESB, medium/high overall. 3.5
(Overall) I'm not the biggest fan of the ESB style in general, and the Imperial treatment is no welcome enhancement to improve upon the flavors. 15 Years of Heady Beers is a beer that tries to build up an already incredibly flavorful and aggressive style with mixed results. What I recall from the last time I tried it was that it has in fact increased in perceived booziness and graininess since the young age, so if you're not looking for a grain bomb, maybe now is the time to open your remaining bottles. It's not the most graceful aging beer I have tried. 3.5

Billed as a double-strength recipe of their Motorboat ESB, the slightly Americanized English ale takes on imperial status as its taste now more resembles Olde Ales and Barleywines... but with that citrusy hop kick in the pants.
The anniversary ale pours a dark and rusty-brown color with highlights of garnet and crimson that pierce through its stern haze. Capped with a dense column of slight tarnish foam, the beer holds its structure to last the session and lacing the glass with separate rings at each sip.
Savory aromatics leap out immediately with notes that's sure to appease the sweet tooth. Toffee, brown sugar and molasses provide a hearty and sweet scent. Nearly fruitcake-like, its dense bread aromas are chocked full of dates, figs, plumbs and raisins. A mild vinous tone peaks through the sweetness just before the hops set in with an acidic citrus and pine note.
Heading into taste, its immense sweetness coats the tongue with bready-sweet taste. Coffee cake, pecans, dark dried fruit and vinous port pull from the malty body at times for complexity and intrigue. But it is that taste of maple, molasses, brown sugar and lightly burnt toffee that captivates the taste buds and carry the beer from early palate nearly to finish. Its long draw of malt concludes with a rise in hop bitterness that carry and inherent citrus pith tone and deep resinous pine.
Full bodied, the beer is chewy and pound cake dense. As its bready armatures wrap around its creamy carbonation, its full effect seems even larger. And this texture extends just a deep as does its taste. But finally, the hop dryness and bitterness slices through the malt for a light semblance of drinkability. But the beer does remain largely a sipping ale, equipped with rummy warmth and a spicy bite in the throat.
It seems that a year in the cellar rounds off the rough edges of the hops and allows the sweetness and warmth to mature. Its a bold and masculine taste that also carries a sense of refinement and grace.

Bomber courtesy of johnqvegas.
Served in Founders snifter.
Pours a ruddy, practically opaque, very murky diarrhea brown color. Ecru head of 3 foamy fingers settled quickly to a ring around the glass and a chunky film.
Smells... Lots of stuff going on here... This has toffee and caramel malt notes, along with some sweet breadiness. The hops are a little citrusy, tad piney, floral, and a hint vegetal.
There is a mild bitterness on the finish, but it is overpowered by the dry booziness.
Feels pretty full-bodied, little chewy. Firm carbonation.
Overall-- not quite what I'd hope for. If I had another of these, I'd put in the cellar and forget about it for about 3 years. Maybe 5. I do suppose that it has some aging potential.

Very clear red color. Fluffy white head. 3/4 inch. Decent lacing
Complex malty sweetness in the aroma. Some earthy hops.
Oh, wow! Great flavor! A nice bitterness with a balanced sweetness. Really complex. Oakish flavor.
Smooth, medium thick mouthfeel. A sticky, bitter finish.
This is a great beer. I got two bottles and I wonder what it will be like after a year or two.

Bomber bottle purchased in Atlanta.
A: deep copper color, clear, with nice rocky light-tan head that eventually dissipated with lingering collar
S: deep roasted malt, some heat, reminded me of barley wine
T: deep roasted malt, slightly cloying, good hop finish but not enough for extended aging of more than 2-3 years,
M: rounded, full-bodied with dense roasted malt
O: very good but defies any categoy as stated on the bottle 'there is no style'

23 ounce bomber split with a friend. Poured into pint glass
Pours a deep copper almost cola color. Small but nice looking head that fades quickly although doesn't leave much lacing on the glass. Aromas are full of hops and some malts. A hint of vinegar is also present. Taste is pretty centered around the hops with hints of raisins, grains, and toffee coming through as it warms. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and well carbonated. Overall this was really good. I think I'll let my other bottle settle for a while and see what its like without the hops dominating the taste.

Gratz on 15 years guys!!
22oz brown bomber with a vintage date.
LOOK: Clear tawny color, great lacing show
SMELL: Herbal, citrus rind, mildly pungent, piney, leafy, biscuits, spicy, alcohol
TASTE: Smooth, creamy, resin, soft bitterness, oily, biscuity, pineapple, warming alcohol, mango, leafy, toasty, citrus, dry finish
There is something about this brew that makes it unique ... perhaps a few things. Good hopping all around with out being completely aggressive. The toasted grain character is real tasty and adds a layer that many bigger beers don't have. Maybe a bit of time is all this beer needed? Great all around.

Served this 22 oz. bottle in a Tulip pint. The body was clear and bright copper/caramel colored. There was alight tan head that left freckles of lace.
The smell was syrupy malts. Spicy. Stewed fruits. Leather. Leafy/organic matter. Mild alcohol, and increasingly of dark bread as it warmed.
The taste was also syrupy/caramely. Subdued hops. Mild alcohol and dense whole grain bread. Sort of reminded me of Double Dead Guy. It took a while to finish this one.
The mouthfeel was medium to full bodied. Silky, slippery texture.

As most of us can still remember, Chan Sung Jung wrote a forceful, well-reasoned open letter last week about the image of the "Rising Sun" displayed on Georges St. Pierre's walkout gi. He spoke of what that image means to many Koreans, and others who suffered under Japanese imperialism and why he hoped that GSP would remove the emblem. Surprisingly, he got results.
The manufacturer, Hayabusa, pulled the gi from shelves and responded directly to Jung with an open apology and a promise to halt their use of the image. Even GSP put out an apology; overall a win for common decency. But not everyone is pleased...
Yesterday Ryo Chonan released the following comment to Samurai Life:
"All the people complaining about the Rising Sun flag is an idiot. Learn history! Even though that might be too much for you idiots."
I don't care about the comfort women (girls and women essentially held captive in a life of enforced prostitution in the Imperial Japanese Army), go make more statues in Korea. Japan is too busy."
There is a lot of exaggerations and anti-Japanese education in regards to Japanese involvement in World War II."
Japan actually helped Korea and made it a developed country. Also when Japan was there Korea was not divided between North and South."
For those wondering about the history of comfort women, I would recommend this essay, as it does an excellent job chronicling the struggle for recognition that this chapter in history continues to undergo. Most notably a struggle against nationalist factions who feel that the evidence of human trafficking, and sexual coercion lacks evidence of state sanctioning. Here are a couple of excerpts.
On the history of comfort women:
In recent years, historical research has uncovered more disturbing details about the comfort women system. Scholars estimate that between fifty thousand and two hundred thousand women were enslaved to provide sexual service to Japanese officers and soldiers. The majority of these women were Korean and Chinese, and they included a large number of minors. Many of them were rounded up by deception or under conditions of debt slavery, and some were violently abducted. Although prostitution for military personnel in war zones and occupied territories is fairly common in history, Japan's comfort women system differed from other cases in that most of the women experienced extreme forms of coercion and oppression. In addition, state and military authorities at the highest levels were involved in its establishment and maintenance.
And its modern implications:
One of the results of both the Japanese government's apologies and of recent scholarship on comfort women has been resistance and backlash from right-wing nationalist groups. In particular, nationalists have objected strongly to both the government's admission of state involvement in the matter and to the inclusion of the issue in school textbooks. They have attacked politicians who support the government's apologies as well as historians' findings about comfort women. They have also targeted contradictions within the testimonies of comfort women themselves in an effort to discredit their accounts entirely.
Chonan's feelings are by no means isolated to him alone, but they show an intensely dismissive attitude towards the suffering of others. And his directive that Korea can "make more statues" to mourn their victims, because Japan is "too busy," is exactly the sort of message that Jung is hoping to counteract.

Once aboard, I proceeded directly to the Windjammer for lunch. The Windjammer food is exactly the same as it always has been. But, I'm not complaining because I think the food is great.
We were able to get into our room at 1:00. We were in corner, aft 9690. This is a category E1 balcony room. The room was clean, and very nice. The room attendant, Marites, was very friendly and gave excellent service. This room was unique, in that it had a glass door instead of a slider leading to the balcony. Beside the door was a huge, round window big enough to sit in. The bedding was very, very comfortable. The balcony was had two lounge chairs, two regular chairs, and a small table. There is no cover on this balcony, so it was excellent for sun bathing.
The overall condition of the ship was great. To find signs of wear and tear, you really have to be looking for them. Other than burned out lights here and there (especially trim lights in the theater), the ship was in good working order.
The Cruise Director, Allen Brooks, was one of the funniest I've seen. However, him and his staff seemed to be out of their element on a 5-night voyage. There was no parade, and the ship seemed to lack energy the first couple of nights. The Welcome Aboard show started at 8:00, so many people from Main Dining missed it because it had already began when dinner was over. The Cruise in Review video was shown the second-to-last night instead of the last. The only production show was on the last night, and it was one of the worst I've ever seen (Fast Forward). There really was no Farewell Show, other then the Cruise Director reciting the usual "Stupid Questions."
The dining room staff was excellent and I don't have a single complaint about the food. The staff went out of their way to accommodate our requests.
Portofino was top-notch. The Filet was very tender and the portions were large.
Labadee was beautiful. The jet-ski tour was alot of fun.
In Ocho Rios, we did The Original Canopy Tour. I highly recommend this excursion. Once you get over the fear on the first zip-line, the rest is very enjoyable.
Overall, it was a great cruise. The Voyager Class ships are still on top of the cruising industry as the best ships afloat.
