A Northwest Indiana group is proposing a new sports and entertainment venue for the Region. Chesterton-based Duneland Family Sports and Entertainment, a division of the non-profit Duneland Sports Authority, says a state-of-the-art environmentally-friendly LEED platinum certified multi-purpose facility would be a "landmark destination economic catalyst" that would create 15-hundred long-term jobs. They want to build "Duneland Arena" in Porter County, but no other specifics have been released yet. Total investment is estimated at 115-million dollars.
Duneland Arena's proposed capacities would include seating of up to 10,350 for concerts, nine-thousand for basketball games, 84-hundred for ice hockey, 92-hundred with standing room.
News Release:
September 3, 2013 Chesterton, Indiana - Duneland Family Sports and Entertainment, a division of Duneland Sports Authority, an Indiana non-profit Corporation, has positively concluded a six month feasibility study entitled Game ON! DSA aims to construct and professionally operate a multi-purpose sports and entertainment venue in Northwest Indiana, Porter County, currently entitled Duneland Arena.
Duneland Family Sports and Entertainment was established in 2012 to determine the feasibility of constructing and successfully operating a multi-purpose professionally managed state of the art LEED platinum toward net-plus family friendly multi-purpose entertainment and sports venue. This project is led, owned and operated by non-profit Duneland Family Sports and Entertainment.
DSA's mission is to:
-Build and operate a multi-purpose venue that is LEED platinum toward net-plus, sustainable, green, ethical and transparent.
-Provide family-friendly entertainment and sports to Northwest Indiana and greater Chicagoland.
-Some features will include: Contract with local venders and retain financial resources and revenues in the community. Source personnel locally through educational career conduits. Source concessions with a local supply-chain. Support local sports initiatives with revenues above operating costs.
Headquartered in Chesterton, Indiana, DSA is led by Founder and Chairman Paul Boardman. Together with a consortium of local, state and national interested parties, DSA will closely coordinate regarding key strategic decisions on capital partnerships, target markets, and new projects. "Duneland Arena will be the first arena to achieve LEED platinum certification. LEED platinum is a good starting goal. We will push the design envelope toward net-plus closing the gap of hypothetical to commercialization. Duneland Arena, a state of the art LEED platinum-net plus facility, will be a landmark destination economic catalyst estimated to create 250 immediate jobs and 1,500 long-term jobs. Game ON! is in line with Northwest Indiana's 2030 economic and quality of life initiative goals to create a global model high output green manufacturing and high quality of life Northwest Indiana community" said Mr. Boardman.
DSA combines its breath of talent and background and will seek private capital for Duneland Arena. DSA's initiative will foster additional development and investment opportunities for investment partners. DSA is combining strengths to allow partnerships with a consortium of Northwest Indiana organizations to significantly expand economic growth, sports and entertainment. In addition, Game ON! offers exciting new opportunities for investors to partner in this development long-term which is focused on community-enhancing economic development in thriving and forward-looking Northwest Indiana. Northwest Indiana is the second largest populous community in Indiana next to Indianapolis. Game ON! is positioned for Duneland Arena to provide as many as 120 events per calendar year ranging from concerts to professional and amateur sports.
Duneland Arena, as America's first LEED platinum toward net-plus venue in its class, conceived, designed and built multi-purpose venue represents a significant step forward for Northwest Indiana and America's sustainable goals. "As a minimum goal, Duneland Arena will be the first LEED platinum arena. This is a significant challenge that requires thorough LEED platinum design and integration from concept to use. In addition, attempts will be made to achieve net-plus status" Mr. Boardman stated. As background, energy-plus or net-plus building produces more energy from renewable energy sources, over the course of a year, than it imports from external sources.
DSA is the current lead for Duneland Arena project Game ON! This includes a hands on role to develop locally owned professional sports franchises. In addition to its investment leading Game On!, DSA will partner with commercial real estate developers to ensure adequate accommodations. Total Northwest Indiana investment including Duneland Arena and accommodations is estimated at $115 million.
"DSA's vision and execution is well-positioned to be an enduring supplier of opportunity to Northwest Indiana" said Mr. Boardman of DSA. "Our overall approach is to do the right thing for our citizens. Our goal is to provide excellent entertainment value and bring resources into our community. We are looking forward to a landmark venue contextual to the natural beauty of the Lake Michigan duneland shore that leads arena technology." Mr. Boardman added.
Project Game ON! represents Stewardship that is: Green, Sustainable, Locally Sourced, Transparent and Ethical. To ensure these goals are met, DSA is partnering with established leading LEED architects, planners, engineers, researchers and universities to ensure a fully integrated state of the art venue from concept to use. "We have a vision for long-term landmark development, investment, management that serves our community," said Mr. Boardman.
Game ON! is family friendly sports and entertainment with representative events such as:
-College, high school, youth hockey, soccer, la crosse, basketball, sports tournaments and a growing list of sports- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sports.
-Family friendly concerts, dog shows, circus, Disney, Sesame, ice capades, community events, trade shows, corporate, religious and cultural events.
DSA brand will denote the best-in-class Northwest Indiana sports and entertainment platform, and we believe this combination has unmatched potential to develop a stellar portfolio addressing our communities sports and entertainment needs. This is a logical succession of what the DSA leadership started generations ago while returning to its roots as a long-term family friendly operation that allows it to maintain deep ties to the community it serves.
History unites DSA leadership with a six generational history in Northwest Indiana since the mid 19th century. The shared vision is reflected in DSA's leadership. With highly-specialized expertise in food-beverage, entertainment, sports, project management, LEED, local needs and partnering, DSA has the breadth and strength to envision and successfully execute project Game ON! for Northwest Indiana and greater Chicagoland.
DSA gains further competitive capabilities through its national capital markets scope, access and knowledge. "DSA has the flexibility and resources to lead a LEED platinum-net plus design team and manage a team of facility professionals while taking advantage of new opportunities, with a view to the long term." Mr. Boardman noted.
DSA will capitalize for our community on substantial location advantages and opportunities as a crossroads of America to bring best-in-class sports and entertainment. Porter County is situated 65 miles from approximately 11 million residents and 150 miles from approximately 15 million residents. In addition to serving local needs, Duneland Arena's proposed capacities provide growth and an economic development opportunity with: Concerts: 5,300 (half-house), 6,400 (3/4 house) 7,790 (End-stage) 10,350 (center-stage) Basketball: 9,000 Ice Hockey: 8,400 (9,200 with standing room).

Isis Browser Code Released
The Isis Project has released the source code for the Isis Browser, a core application of HP's webOS platform.
According to the developer blog, webOS requires a fast, standards-compliant web browser engine to provide the core of the standalone browser and the rendering technology for the platform and its apps. Thus, the developers chose QtWebKit to power webOS. The blog states that WebKit is also the point of integration between the underlying System Manager, which will be open sourced later this year, and the web rendering layer of webOS.
According to the blog, the developers have benchmarked the new Isis webOS browser and have found it to be extremely responsive compared with other browsers made for general consumption. Isis Browser is compatible with HP TouchPad devices running webOS 3.0.5. It supports HTML5 and CSS3 as well as legacy products like Adobe Flash and Netscape Plug-in API (NPAPI) plugins to allow them to run in non-X11 environments.
The source code for the Isis Browser stack, QtWebKit, and Qt 4.8 is available on GitHub and is distributed under the Apache license. Project information and the technical documentation for this release can be found on GitHub and the project website at http://isis-project.org/.

HERE Maps API - How to create a custom overlay
This article explains how to create a custom overlay and add data from your own tile server to the map.
For extremely large data sets, it no longer makes sense to add each data point as an individual marker, image or polyline. In situations such as displaying weather or traffic conditions over a map, it would be less processor intensive to retrieve pre-built images from a tiler server rather than re-calculating and adding a large number of mapObjects on to the map display. The cost of making a few extra round trips to retrieve data from a server will be much smaller than the equivalent client side processing of adding hundreds of thousands of objects onto the map.
This article introduces a JavaScript library to overlay images over a map. It handles the data calls to an arbitrary tile server which generates tiles in the Normalised Mercator projection, which is the commonest format for online maps. It also handles the necessary attribution of the overlay images. The code example retrieves Map Tiles from a tile server run by the National Library of Scotland . The mapping is based on out-of-copyright Ordnance Survey maps, dating from the 1920s to the 1940s.
Through using the functions in the Code Example it is possible to overlay map tile data over a Nokia map. If the images are returned in the {Icode|.png}} format, transparency will be respected and the Nokia Map will show through underneath. - feel free to adapt the code to your own use.

Man jailed for brutal attack on would-be burglar
5:12pm Monday 3rd December 2012 in News By Graeme Hetherington
A MAN who took part in a savage beating which left his victim with several broken bones has been jailed for four years.
Arthur Wilkinson and an accomplice brutally attacked Stephen Pugh when the defendant discovered three men burgling his compound in Horden, near Peterlee, east Durham, in January.
The 52-year-old drove Mr Pugh to the University Hospital of North Durham in Durham with serious injuries, with Wilkinson claiming that he had found him in that condition.
The 34-year-old suffered a broken back bone, a double fracture to his leg, a smashed nose, a fractured left arm and bruising all over his body.
Today, (Monday, December 3), the court heard how Mr Pugh was hit with a wooden bat as well as being kicked and punched.
Wilkinson, of Hatfield Place, Peterlee, denied causing grievous bodily harm with intent, but admitted it after a trial began in September.
Robert Adams, prosecuting, told Teesside Crown Court another man had been questioned about his involvement in the brutal attack but no charges were ever made against the man who was named by Wilkinson.
Mr Pugh has needed 13 operations since the attack at a yard owned by Wilkinson.
In mitigation, Stephen Constantine said a psychiatric report showed that Wilkinson was suffering from post traumatic stress disorder after suffering a violent attack in 2007 which led to him having flashbacks.
Mr Constantine told the court how Wilkinson had been pushed to the ground by one of the three men he discovered trying to steal two quad bikes from his compound.
He said: "This man was in a vulnerable position, physically and mentally, and that had a significant bearing on the way he then reacted."
Judge George Moorhouse sentenced Wilkinson for four years after taking into consideration his guilty plea and the contents of his psychiatric report.
He said: "It does seem that the other man involved was the one using the baton and was most likely to have caused the most extensive injuries.
"Having said that it was a joint enterprise and you must accept responsibility for your part in it."

For 15-year-old ballet students Regina Bertuzzi and Liam Saito, First Position is more than an acclaimed ballet documentary about one of the world's largest dance competitions, it's part of their personal success story. The two Royal Winnipeg Ballet School Level 5 students were offered the opportunity of a lifetime by RWB School Director Arlene Minkhorst last year at the prestigious Youth American Grand Prix in New York. Minkhorst, who has been a member of the competition's jury for more than a decade, recognized these two talented youngsters as an ideal fit for the RWB School and offered them both scholarships on the spot.
"Youth American Grand Prix attracts the world's highest caliber ballet dancers, and only the best of those make it to the finals in New York," says Minkhorst. "The competition provides an unrivalled opportunity to scout new talent."
Minkhorst will be leading the introductory Q&A to the award-winning documentary First Position when it's shown at Cinamatheque on April 14th at 2pm. Bess Bergman's box office hit First Position follows six extraordinary dancers as they prepare for the chance to enter the world of professional ballet. The story portrays the struggle that young dancers face, from bloodied feet and near exhaustion to debilitating injuries, all while navigating the drama of adolescence.
First Position had its World Premiere at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival and was named the audience choice's first runner-up for Best Documentary. It also won the Jury Prize at the San Francisco Doc Fest, the audience award for Best Documentary at the Dallas International Film Festival, the audience award for Best Documentary at the Portland International Film Festival, and the audience award for Best Documentary at DOC NYC.

Since Trouble's self title album that came out at a time where if you wheren't Satanic, then you wheren't cool, since then they have stayed true to their musical intentions, keeping it interesting at the same time. Best track is the title track, Trouble is still around, and still doesn't get any respect. Their sound is like Black Sabbath, motorhead, Corrison of Comformity.
Trouble Biography - Trouble Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
It's a shame that Trouble never seem to get the credit or attention they deserve. Bounced from Metal Blade to Def American in the late '80s, for this album this Chicago-based quintet found a home with independent Century Media. Trouble's label really doesn't seem to matter, though: their ability to crank out some of the finest and heaviest psychedelic metal around never diminishes. Plastic Green Head is prime stuff. While Eric Wagner's occasionally screechy vocals are an acquired taste, the superheavy gothic guitar riffage takes no getting used to. Trouble may have gone through their share of bassists and drummers, but the guitar duo of Rick Wartell and Bruce Franklin has remained intact and churning out some seriously damaging sludge since their self-titled Metal Blade debut back in 1984. Trouble does the midtempo throb grooves as well as Corrosion of Conformity or Monster Magnet, but they're versatile enough to pick up the pace when necessary. They even include covers of Carole King's "Porpoise Song" and the Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows" that suitably honor the original versions–though the heavy-handed psychedelic flair is pure Trouble. That, in fact, is what makes this band so durable: their versatility and consistency. They've always maintained their sound without being afraid to modify and improve it. Plastic Green Head may not win them a ton of new fans, but it will certainly please the converted and those in search of a solid Sabbath-influenced buzz. –Adem Tepedelen

Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
I got into Trouble a number of years ago when music stations on digital cable were just becoming mainstream additions to the cable lineup. I head Flowers off of this album that fair day and loved the vibe it was given to me. I quested desperately to find their work, but sadly always came up empty until finally a few weeks ago i found some, and this album happened to be one of them.
First off, what an album! Brilliant guitarwork, thumping bass and steller drumming spotlights Trouble at their tightest and most well oiled lineup maybe ever…while the vocals are screechy sometimes, while other times they are blissfully melodic. Requiem is one of the most beautiful pieces of music that i have ever had the priviledge of listening to, and for that I am very happy that I found this band. The title track is very fun and heavy, and the covers of Carole King and the Beatles are both fun and inspired works that are almost worth the cost of finding this gem.
Trouble is a band that constantly got written off in the savage undertones of other thrash bands like Metallica and Megadeth and the doom metal godfathers like Candlemass because they combined the doomy atmosphere of Black Sabbath with the thrash virtuosic guitarwork of a thrash icon. If you are a new fan, keep looking until you find every album by this act. Trust me, you shall not be disappointed!
At first, I didn't realize this was the same band that put out 1991's 'Manic Frustration'. As I remember seeing these guys on tour as support act for Savatage back in the day. Basically, very good '90's heavy rock. About every cut on this CD rocks, but the tunes I dug the absolute most are "Flowers", their unlikey cover of the Monkees "Pourpose Song" (totally caught me off guard), the wailing "Hear The Earth", "Long Shadows Fall" and another outrageously killer cover, the Beatles "Tomorrow Never Knows". Might possibly appeal to fans of My Dying Bride, Obsessed, Sleep and Electric Wizard.
A loud and heavy band that never got the attention they deserved, Trouble's "Plastic Green Head" pretty much picks up where "Manic Frustration" (which is no longer available) left off.Stand-out tracks include "Another Day", "Below me", "Opium-Eater", "Long Shadows Fall" and an interesting version of The Beatles "Tomorrow Never Knows".Anyone who is a fan of such bands as Black Sabbath, Soundgarden or Corrosion of Conformity should not have a problem finding a place for this disc in their collection.
I am a big fan of heavy metel cover songs. Type O Negative might have had the prize for there version of "summer Breeze" but the cover crown belongs, no doubt, to Trouble for there psychotic version of "The Pourpoise Song" Only a very few of you will recognise this gem as bieng the theme to another forgotten classic, the now infamous movie "Head" starring the Monkees. Carole King wrote this and I have attempted to find out how to procure writes to use a piece of this song in a short animation. Strangely enough this song, and Tomorow Never Knows (The Beatles) are not listed as bieng on the album, at least as far as the copywrite people are concerned, hmmmmmm, pretty wierd. This one song makes the whole album worth whatever one pays for it, it must be heard to be beleved, I am glad someone else sees the Monkees movie as something worth remebering, watch "Vanilla Sky" to hear this song yet again, Tomorow Never Knows is good too, but no one can touch the Pourpoise song cover for shear retro genoius.

A Mexican man has been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison in the 2010 killing of a U.S. Border Patrol agent that revealed the botched gun-smuggling investigation known as Operation Fast and Furious.
Manuel Osorio-Arellanes was sentenced Monday afternoon after pleading guilty in Brian Terry's shooting death.
The court gave him credit for the three years he's served in prison already. He spoke in Spanish, saying he was sorry and didn't mean for anybody to get hurt. His family was there but didn't talk.
Terry's cousin, Robert Heyer, told the media outside the courtroom, "We do not celebrate this sentence today. But we acknowledge justice. It's been long awaited."
Osorio-Arellanes is one of five suspects in the December 2010 shooting death of Terry in the desert outside Rio Rico.
Assault rifles found at the scene were traced to the Justice Department's Operation Fast and Furious gun tracking sting.
While Osorio-Arellanes did not fire the fatal shot, he was party to the commission of a crime during which Terry was killed.
Prosecutors say Osorio-Arellanes and four other men had crossed the border into Arizona from Mexico in order to rob marijuana smugglers.
There was a gun battle during which Terry was shot.
He died at the scene.
Agents caught Osorio-Arellanes because he was wounded and couldn't get away.
Two other suspects are in custody in Mexico, two are still on the loose.
Terry's family was in Tucson for the sentencing. His mother and two sisters emerged from the courtroom emotionally drained.
All three women addressed the court. Terry's mother, Josephine, broke down the second she approached the podium. Her voice cracking, she choked back tears as she told the judge that for 40 years she had the privilege and honor to be Brian Terry's mom.
Josephine Terry talked about the pain of the last few years and the reality that she will never see her son's face again or hear him say, "I love you."
Brian Terry's younger sister did say outside the courtroom paled in comparison to her 20 minutes before the judge.
She even turned to the defendant, called him by name, and said, "Manuel, you have taken a hero from us but what you will never be able to take is his honor."
Rep. Paul Gosar, R-AZ, issued the following statement in the wake of Monday's sentencing:
"I hope today's sentencing brings some degree of solace to Brian Terry's family. But justice is not yet achieved. There are others directly involved in this murder who haven't been tried in U.S. courts and there are government officials who continue to deny responsibility for, and prior knowledge of, Operation Fast and Furious.
"Agent Terry's death is a stain on the federal government, and as a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, I will continue to do everything in my power to hold those officials responsible in order to prevent a tragedy like this from ever occurring again."

Requirements - Graduate Program
Our Master's program is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in economic theory and quantitative techniques, necessary for doing applied work in economics or a related field (e.g., financial economics). We have structured our program for entering students with backgrounds in intermediate economic theory, statistics and basic calculus. However, students who do not have this background can be admitted provisionally — they spend a semester (or two) completing these basic courses. It is not necessary for a student to have majored in economics as an undergraduate, but some background in economics and statistics is extremely helpful.
The program requires 30 units to be completed with a core set of courses described in the table below. The University Bulletin also has a description of our requirements. The core courses comprise the essential foundation in economic theory and econometrics, while the electives enable students to pursue specific applied areas of interest. While the majority of our students find careers in the public or private sector after completing their M.A. degrees, other students have continued on to pursue an economics Ph.D. or a Ph. D. in an applied economics area.
Core Requirements (See Bulletin)
|Econ 615 Mathematical Economics
|Econ 630 Econometric Theory

Causes of Ankle ArthritisCommon factors that lead to ankle arthritis include:
- Previous ankle injury
Ankle arthritis is most commonly the result of a prior injury to the ankle joint. In patients who sustain an injury such as an ankle fracture, the cartilage may be damaged and lead to accelerated arthritis.
When the ankle is injured, it is also susceptible to an injury called osteonecrosis. When osteonecrosis occurs as the result of an ankle injury, a portion of the bone has damage to its blood flow. Osteonecrosis can also lead to ankle arthritis.
- Rheumatoid arthritis
Patients with rheumatoid disease can have ankle arthritis. Rheumatoid disease causes joint inflammation and damage to the cartilage. Over time, this can lead to significant problems, necessitating treatment.
- Infection
Infections of a joint can lead to damage of the cartilage cells. Because cartilage cells cannot regrow, the damage from an infection can last permanently.
- Genetics
The effect of genetics on the development of arthritis is not well understood, but we do know that some people have a genetic tendency to wear out joints faster than others.
- Body weight
Patients who are overweight place a larger burden on their hips, knees, ankles, and feet. These patients have more of a tendency to develop arthritis, and often have more accelerated damage to the joint cartilage.
Symptoms of Ankle ArthritisAnkle arthritis most commonly causes pain around the joint, and the most frequent reason for patients to seek treatment is the pain associated with this condition. Other common symptoms of ankle arthritis include:
- Stiffness of the ankle
- Swelling around the joint
- Bone spurs causing a lumpy appearing joint
- Deformity of the joint
- Instability, or a feeling the joint may "give out"
Ankle arthritis can usually be easily diagnosed with an examination and an x-ray. Once patients are diagnosed, nonoperative treatments should be attempted. Most patients can find relief through steps including activity modification and changes in their footwear.
Ankle Arthritis TreatmentsTreatment of ankle arthritis should always begin with simple steps including:
- Footwear Changes
One of the simplest steps to take is to try some shoe modifications. Cushioned inserts can help alleviate symptoms. Another helpful step is to have a shoe repair specialist add a 'rocker-bottom' to the sole of the shoe.
- Activity Modifications
Activity modification is an important part of treatment, and patients unwilling to change their lifestyle generally should not consider surgical treatments for ankle arthritis. Patients should try to limit impact activities including running and jumping.
- Braces
A brace can be fabricated to help hold the ankle joint in position. These braces, called ankle-foot-orthoses or AFOs, will support the joint and prevent excessive motion.
- Anti-Inflammatory Medications
Anti-inflammatory medications can be helpful in patients with moderate symptoms of ankle arthritis. Patients should use anti-inflammatory medications carefully as there are possible side effects, especially with longer-term use of these medications.
- Cortisone Injections
Cortisone injections can be extremely helpful in the management of ankle arthritis, especially in an acute flare up of pain. While cortisone injections cannot be performed regularly, the occasional cortisone shot is helpful in most patients with ankle arthritis.
- Ankle Arthroscopy
Arthroscopic surgery can be useful in patients with limited ankle arthritis, but it is usually ineffective for more extensive ankle arthritis. Ankle arthroscopy is most helpful when small bone spurs have developed around the joint causing "impingement," or the bone spur becoming pinched when the ankle moves up and down. During arthroscopic surgery, the bone spur can be shaved to promote motion of the joint.
Unfortunately, if the ankle arthritis is more extensive, arthroscopic surgery will likely be unhelpful. When a significant amount of the cartilage has worn away, the joint will not benefit from an arthroscopic procedure.
- Ankle Fusion Surgery
Ankle fusion surgery is the standard treatment for advanced ankle arthritis. This surgery removes the worn out portion of the joint, and then permanently holds the bones in a solid position.
- Ankle Replacement Surgery
Replacement surgery is a more controversial treatment for ankle arthritis. The success of fusion surgery is under debate, and there is not too much experience with replacement surgery for ankle arthritis. As more of these procedures are being performed, the implant design is being improved. This will likely lead to better results.

Oxford United display was not good enough, says Newey + match highlights video
Updated 8:34am Monday 10th March 2014 in Sport By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
TOM Newey said Oxford United could have no complaints over their 2-1 defeat after losing control of the game against Burton Albion.
The decisive spell came in the first half at the Kassam Stadium, when the Brewers struck through Dominic Knowles and Zeli Ismail.
United were in disarray at the back and also conceded a penalty, which Ryan Clarke saved.
Although they fought back into the game after the break, it was not enough to take anything from the game.
And Newey, who returned to the side after a two-game suspension, admitted ultimately they could not expect to get away with such a ragged spell.
He said: "It felt like we had lost total control of the game, but we knew when we got in and regrouped for the second half if we got that first goal it would put us in the ascendancy and the fans really got behind us.
"We pushed on and we were unlucky not to come away with something.
"But let's not kid ourselves, we were very sloppy in the first half and inevitably it's cost us.
"In the second half, they defended for 45 minutes and we were in the ascendancy and had quite a few chances.
"Beano (James Constable) hit the post and it popped up in the keeper's hands, things just didn't fall for us, but we can't give a team like Burton a two-goal head start.
"You give yourself a big task."
The result extended a poor run which has seen United win just one of their last seven games.
They remain in the Sky Bet League Two play-off places, but Newey knows with fixtures running out there is no time to waste ahead of tomorrow's game against Cheltenham Town.
He said: "We are all hurting because we've just lost a game of football, but there's no time for sulking now.
"It's still in our hands, there are 11 games to go and if we win a big portion of those games we will be there or thereabouts.
"It's important we start picking up points as soon as possible and it's great we have a game on Tuesday."

Two moves defined the Bears' playoff season in 2010 — the release of DE Mark Anderson and the shift to a quicker developing passing game following the midseason bye week.
Sending Anderson packing sent a message to the rest of the defense that underachieving would not be tolerated. The adjustment of pass protection came after an internal tug-of-war between stubborn offensive coordinator Mike Martz and strong-headed OL coach Mike Tice, with Tice proving that deep-drop passing game cannot function with only five blockers and a marginally talented offensive line — the reason the Giants set a record with nine sacks in the first half against the Bears early last season.
This season, after a demoralizing 24-13 Monday-night loss to the Lions that was reminiscent of the game in the Meadowlands last season, Lovie Smith reverted to what worked for the Bears last season, replacing both starting safeties — the undisciplined Brandon Meriweather and injury-plagued Chris Harris — and shifting to a quicker-hitting, heavier max-protecting, play-action style of offense that best suits QB Jay Cutler's talent. Tice, who twice benched ORT Frank Omiyale in recent weeks, also shuffled the offensive line for the fifth time in six weeks, fixating Lance Louis at right tackle and inserting Chris Spencer in his place at right guard.
The payoff, similar to the five-game winning streak the Bears strung together after the bye week last season, came in the form of a 39-10 victory over the Vikings. At a time when media scrutiny and fan discontent has never been greater on the team's brass in the Chicago market, the Bears responded in every phase, with Devin Hester returning his 16th career TD (a mistake Leslie Frazier later corrected by kicking away from him); the defense restricting the big plays that stole momentum against the Lions; and the offense humming in a way in has not all season, as Cutler, for the first time, was left largely unscathed in the pocket despite facing a very solid Vikings defensive line. He was sacked only once.
DE Julius Peppers was a surprise last-minute start and looked as uniquely dominant as Hester did returning kicks. However, Peppers is still nursing the knee injury and Hester left the game late with a chest injury. With injuries threatening their most special talent, the Bears cannot afford to subject Cutler, their greatest offensive asset, to the repeated harassment he has withstood this season anymore. Great coaches know how to conceal the shortcomings of their talent and play to its strengths. Tice clearly gets it.
The greatest challenge for Smith the rest of the season will be managing his wide-eyed, pass-crazy coordinator and forcing him to maintain a healthy 50-50 run-pass ratio (a task that Tice might be needed to enforce) — which is the only way the Bears will be able to compete with the Packers and Lions in the NFC's most competitive division. If Martz reverts to his preferred ways, the Bears' season will be history. There is little margin for error with no other division featuring two five-win teams, including the only remaining unbeaten team, the defending-Super Bowl champion Packers.
• The AFC's most competitive division is keyed by veteran linebackers that have yet to fade. At age 36 in his 15th season, Pittsburgh ILB James Farrior remains one of the most instinctive linebackers in football and was always around the ball against Jacksonville. Ray Lewis, also 36 but who entered the league one year earlier, was the same way against Houston. Linebacking talent forms the core of a 3-4 defense. For years, the Steelers have fielded the NFL's most talented group of linebackers, with the Ravens, Jets and Cowboys all fighting for position.
The most impressive, young LB unit belongs to San Francisco — one of the key reasons why the 49ers are having success, as NaVorro Bowman and Aldon Smith are really coming on alongside Patrick Willis, who already can be considered on a par with Lewis. Smith was drawn offside by a hard count by Matthew Stafford amid heavy crowd noise and flagged again for roughing the passer, but the rookie ratcheted up two more sacks in rotation with Ahmad Brooks and Parys Haralson.
• The QB carousal spun a few extra times this week as John Beck provided a spark in place of an inefficient Rex Grossman, and Christian Ponder showed well enough in the final quarter of a 39-10 loss to the Bears to open next week as a starter. In limited action, Ponder showed he could step up in the pocket, create plays with his feet and handle an aggressive array of blitz packages that the Bears continued sending late in the game. With the Vikings sorely in need of a spark, Ponder should see greater action sooner than later.
Most teams are expected to be better prepared exiting a bye week in which they have had an additional week to recuperate, study their opponent and recharge their bodies and minds. The lull in action seemed to dull Rex Grossman's focus into the type of performance that pushed him out of Chicago, as he forced the ball into coverage and was easily confused by an Eagles' defense that did a better job of disguising its coverages.
Kyle Boller had to step in for Jason Campbell in Oakland after Campbell broke his collarbone. Boller managed to pull off a win because of the strong play of special teams, with the explosive Jacoby Ford returning a kickoff for a TD and the Raiders successfully executing a fake field goal that was converted into seven points. The Browns still nearly rallied back late in the game. For the Raiders to remain at the top of the division and find the playoffs, they will need better than the jittery-footed, scatter-armed, easily confused Boller at the helm. A GM's role becomes critical when he loses the most important positional player on the field, and the absence of a GM could challenge the Raiders in this situation. However, Hue Jackson proved he could strike a deal quickly when he landed ex-Seahawks first-round OLB Aaron Curry, and if he could wrestle Carson Palmer out of the vice grip of Bengals owner Mike Brown, who seems intent on docking Palmer a year's pay in his prime for demanding a trade, Jackson might be able to keep the team competitive. With the urgency he is showing to win this season in tribute to his mentor, it would be a surprise if Boller remains in place long.
• A Bills offensive line that entered the game surrendering the fewest sacks in the league (four) struggled to handle the Giants' pass rush, even when they rushed only three as they did before the half and sacked Ryan Fitzpatrick to knock the Bills out of field-goal range. The line entered the game without quick-footed OLT Demetrius Bell, and his replacement, Chris Hairston, had to exit in the third quarter with an ankle injury. With DT Kyle Williams and OLBs Shawne Merriman and Chris Kelsay all out with injuries, a pass rush that ranks dead last in the league with only four sacks had to dial up more stunts and blitzes to create pressure without much success. The bye week could not come at a better time for the Bills. Chan Gailey will find ways to manufacture points, but the roster lacks depth on offense and quality pass rushers to survive injuries down the stretch.
• Even without OLT Chad Clifton in the lineup, the Packers' offensive line moves in lockstep. The rhythm and timing of the offense is a credit to one of the NFL's finest offensive coaching staffs. Much like when Mike Holmgren presided over a stable of coaches that produced Andy Reid, Jon Gruden, Steve Mariucci, Dick Jauron and Ray Rhodes, it would not be surprising to see Packers assistants begin getting plucked for head-coaching jobs. The front office already has been raided, with John Schneider taking over the GM post in Seattle, and pro personnel director Reggie McKenzie could be next in line to fill the vacancy in Oakland. No one in the NFL enjoyed playing mind games more than Al Davis, and he was always in search of talent in any field that could help the Raiders, picking the brains of anyone with knowledge that could help his team. Years ago, when Davis was seeking a personnel boss to replace Michael Lombardi, one GM said Davis told McKenzie he would have hired his former linebacker had he contacted the Raiders to express interest in a position, something McKenzie never did. If the Raiders hire a GM following the season — a position that is already drawing vast interest around the league — McKenzie could be a front-runner. San Francisco director of player personnel Tom Gamble is another candidate who piqued the interest of Davis.

at least kuaddro.com says so:
I don't know how accurate this site is but if there is only going to be one version. And it is going to be called the "5D-X" then so be it. For the reasons listed on that site. As long as we get the rumored "5D3" specs (e.g. 22MP, 61-pt AF, 6.x FPS and high native ISO (e.g. 100-12,800 or better yet...100-51,200 as in the 1D-X).
Hope we get some good news on March 2nd...or the night before (just before midnight).

The Huntsville City School system is looking to the community to help feed hungry children. One way you can help is by supporting the "Blessings in a Backpack" program.
It feeds kids over the weekend who may not have enough food.
The program is funded solely through community donations. It costs $80 to sponsor one kid for the entire year.
One school in need of sponsors is Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary.
The principal said about 95-percent of her students are on free and reduced lunch and would benefit from a backpack.
"...so everything in the backpack is really kid friendly there are things they should be able to open and prepare at home," said Principal Jennifer Douthit.
About 100 students have been sponsored so far.

11 Days of A-Sun Men's Basketball: FGCU
Top Returning Scorer: Anthony Banks, Sophomore Forward – The preseason all-conference forward became the first player in program history to be named to the all-conference team after producing 12.9 points and 6.6 rebounds in his freshman campaign en route to being named to the A-Sun All-Rookie team. Banks started every game for the Eagles – the only player on the team to do so – and his point average ranked 11th in the A-Sun, while his rebound production ranked 8th.
Banks top game of the season came against Jacksonville on Feb. 11th when he registered 24 points on 11-of-15 shooting and grabbed five rebounds in only 23 minutes of play. In total, Banks scored in double-figures 21 times, which included four 20-point games, while he led the team in rebounds in 14 contests.
Season Opening Game: FGCU at Indiana, Nov. 12th at 6:30 p.m. - A contest with five-time NCAA Champions, Indiana, awaits the Eagles to kick off the 2010-11 season. After an 8-21 record in the third season of Division I Basketball for the Eagles, FGCU returns eight players to the squad including two starters. The Hoosiers recorded a 10-21 mark last year finishing 10th in the Big Ten Conference and return all five starters.
Conference Game to Watch: FGCU at Belmont, Jan. 28th at 7 p.m. – Last season, the Eagles picked up five conference victories, two of which came courtesy of the Belmont Bruins, who claimed a share of the A-Sun Regular Season title. FGCU claimed a three-point victory at the Curb Event Center and then protected Alico Arena with a three-point margin over the Bruins.

· I need help with protocol for a professional venue
I am very excited. I just sent communications to two MLS teams asking for permission to shoot a game in the upcoming season. To my shocked but very pleasant surprise, both of them have not only acknowledged me, the both said yes and offered to allow me to pick one game to receive media credentials. I have never shot a professional game, so I have absolutely no idea what protocol is. So let me ask a few questions and go from there:
A) Do I have unlimited rights and ownership of my pictures? I'm asking not expecting to have some amazing shot, but more so from the perspective of the legal terms you typically see on a ticket or broadcast - you know something like ... all images of the game are property of the MLS and written permission is required ...
B) Do I have to pay to get in? Again, in all seriousness, I'm not asking for a freebie so how does this work?
C) Will they tell me what I can and cannot shoot? E.g. does this mean I have access to more than just the pitch and a media area for camera, such as pregame tunnel and post game locker room shots? I don't want to over step my bounds, but I do want to get the most from the experience.

John....congrats on your upcoming shoot. I can't comment on MLS but regarding protocol...your best bet would be to contact the Media Director and talk with him/her. On a personal level....when I shoot MiLB for the AAA Yankees franchise, I own the copyright....but I can't market the images without the consent of MLB or the player. But I can sell them to other media sources such as MiLB, USA Today, etc.
They give me unlimited access to shoot wherever I want....anywhere on the field before the 1st pitch and after... either the 1st or 3rd base photo wells....in the stands as long as the seat is open....press box (also access to the media chow), club house but have to vacate 30 minutes prior to the start of the game. Then access to any press conferences whenever they exist.
You shouldn't have to pay to get in but you may have to pay for parking.
For access do's & don'ts....there was info on the back of my media pass.
Sorry I couldn't offer more info butI'm sure others will step up.
Good Luck.

As for the locations:
I shoot a lot of Toronto FC Games and on your media pass it is colour coded, there are charts up all around the stadium showing what areas are certain colours. Some Photogs have access to the broadcast areas and others do not. Locker room is generally out of bounds unless you have a specific pass.
When you get to the field where you can go may be limited. When a FIFA event is being held at BMO field NO photographer can move along the sidelines or shoot from the sidelines, ends of the pitch only.
When it is an MLS game you can go up the sideline to the 20m box......no further.
I would bet each stadium has it's own rules but these are the TFC examples.
Just ask the security guys what the rules are for sidelines ect.... they generally are nice and willing to help.
Most important is to not be a jerk. Watch how the other pros work, act and interact with each other. Do not assume that since you have a media pass you get to be king for the day. Do your thing, be respectful and maybe this is just the start to getting more and more access.
PS Most photo rooms have snacks and Pizza in them for you and the others.....it's a bit of a bonus
I tend to grab a bottle of water and take it out to the pitch with me. I avoid any carbonated options as I sat near a guy who had one blow up on him and it got INSIDE his lenses and camera during a lens change. Cost a bit to fix.....

I shoot the MLS Rapids and I can offer a few things. MLS is really good with freelancers. Great place to start. You should have a media contact. They will be able to tell you in more detail where you can and can not shoot. I like talking to ushers and security before games so they give you a little break. In Colorado, and I assume most other venues for MLS, you can not photograph from the press box. Also, you have to be on the sideline between the end line and the top of the goal box or on the end line to almost the goal. If you do not have a long lens, get one. A 300 at minimum, 400 better, with enough light a 600 would be killer. I typically shoot with a 300 on my 7D and 70-200 on my 1D. Get a three legged rotating camp stool to sit on...this is a life saver.
Ask questions when you pick up your credentials (credentials get you in and here in Colorado cover your parking too). The media room is for people trying to get stuff out on deadline, but there will probably be plenty of room for you in there, just try to stay out of the way of people obviously working.
Try to get to know these shooters if you can, they can give you great tips for your venue. I went in for my first MLS game not knowing anyone, and came out knowing 2 shooters (one from my wire, one from one of my older wires), my second game, met a couple freelancers, next game meeting a USA Today shooter, and the Getty Shooter, then suddenly, they were asking me questions and we were all working together (sharing WIFI, grabbing food for each other, helping each other set up remotes, etc). This can be one of the best things you can take away from this, networking.

Oh, and one more thing, ask about what you can do with the images. I shot under a credential for a wire service. My service allows me to do anything I want with the photos (within reason). I was contacted recently by a Denver magazine who wanted to buy one of my photos for 1/4 page use in their March issue and they went through me (more money) than my wire.

Like Carl said, talk with your media contact. But as far as rules, basic rules for soccer is that you pick an side and stay there the whole half. Only shooting from the back, no sides.

Thanks Carl & mk - I'll get in touch with the media contact ahead of time. I think I'll plan on shooting from the end lines and I'm working on a remote to place near the goal like I've seen in the EPL. I'll be practicing on the local high school and college teams this spring.
I have a 120-300 mm and a 2x teleconverter so I'll probably do 1/2 the game with and 1/2 the game without the 2x. I also picked up a second camera which I plan on equipping with a 17-50 mm behind the net set on manual focus.

I read that as you want to set up a remote
If so also ask the media person about it. Some places only allow certain media outlets to use remotes behind the net, while here in Toronto there is no limit on who CAN use them, but you must have it set up 45 minutes before kick-off.
That adds another ripple to the whole remote thing. I have set one up a few times I then stand by it while the teams warm up. Quite often a ball goes over the net, hits a railing and come flying right at the remote
Just some helpful tips

One other quick thing about remotes. The last 2 soccer matches I shot there was a possibility that they could turn the sprinklers on 10 minutes before the game. So be prepared. They didn't do it on Sat, but they did the last time I shot it.

I sent a response to the media directors and one sent back a list of photographer policies - included were where I could be, when I could move, where I could shoot photos from, AND they give a stool requiring me to use it. Also, remotes are ok as long as it doesn't interfere with other equipment.
I'm going to shoot one during the day to get the most light possible and the other is an evening game, but it's the middle of the summer so I'm hoping for good light at least during the first half.

This album to me is their best, they were close also with "Infinity" but on "Escape" it is one rock and ballad CD that came out in the early 80's that wasn't hair band stuff, but overall is pretty similar and much better if you listen close enough to it.
Nowadays perhaps they are considered a "guilty pleasure" due to perhaps their commercial appeal to teenage girls, women, and perhaps guys who were not really into metal, but were somewhere in between. Journey were I guess according to my sister somewhat attractive guys who made accessible songs, catchy songs with hooks and melody, who rocked enough to annoy your parents, but did those sappy ballads that made them swoon. After many years to me they appeal to a broader range than I remember, and if you think all those hair bands in the mid to late 80's sounded the same and were embarassingly cheesy, give Journey a chance to give an early glimpse of how it should have been done, and in '81 it sets the template in places for the rock and ballad Cd. A Band like UFO had this down, Scorpions also back before this even and all had their own sound. Journey added in a nice dose of melody that would also become the norm in hard rock. Perhaps they were a tad bit softer than your average 80's hard rocker, but listening to this now it's a fun CD to jam to, they don't have a single filler track here, and my fav songs are mostly non singles it seems, and lesser known songs.
Fav song of all time by the band is here in "Stone In Love" which is a classic journey song, hard rock, guitar solo, plenty of melody. Aanother fav in the title track "Escape", and it rocks plenty also with "Lay It Down", "Dead Or Alive", and "Keep On Runnin'", and I also love one of the 3 ballads in "Still They Ride". It has plenty of radio singles also with "Don't Stop Believin'", "Open Arms" (another ballad), and "Who's Crying Now" (ballad). Those 3 get the most attention, and if you like those perhaps you should check out the above mentioned songs also for Journey at their very best. Steve Perry could sing too, so it's not like todays commercial hard rock where they all sound like they were drummers forced to front the band, my apoligies to Dave Grohl…but isn't it true?
Plus the added Live in Houston tracks are a nice addition to the latest reissue. This is a must CD for not just a Journey fan, but a hard rock fan to me, a guilty pleasur, but a very good one in that and much better than anything put out by those late 80's hard rock clones. The Beatles had melody, the Beach Boys did too, but when you get to this point where it really begins to turn into a harder sound, to me the natural progression is with a band like Journey, even Boston perhaps with their brief run. I personally like Ratt, Dokken, Van Halen, Motley Crue, and Hanoi Rocks to name a few along with Journey, and eventually progressed into Jane's Addiction, Saigon Kick, Extreme, Kings X, it all comes back to this CD in my opinion, it's influential even if nobody out there wants to readily admit it.

you use your cell phone in the car, you are not alone. While it's not illegal
for adult drivers to use a handheld device while driving, we decided to test a
product that claims to help you put both hands back on the wheel: The GripGo –
but does it work?
promises to cut down on distracted driving. Toledo News Now's crime beat
reporter Nicole Collier agreed to grade GripGo.
probably in my car like 75 percent of my work day," Nicole said. "The phone is
a really important part of what we do because we always have to be in
communication with contacts for stories, or with the station when they're
wanting to know how we're doing, what's going on."
didn't take long to get the GripGo out of the box and suctioned to the
dashboard. The green gripping cradle is polymer, and your device peels right
off without any sticky residue. After a few adjustments, Nicole was ready to
stick on her phone and hit the road.
GripGo claims it can hold a smartphone out the window, but we wouldn't
recommend that.
phone would fall off of the sticky part sometimes when I would be driving,
which defeats the purpose, because you can't bend down and pick your phone up
off the ground," Nicole said.
the kind of phone you have may make a difference.
station phones are kind of bulky and a bit heavier," Nicole said. "But I
personally have an iPhone, and I think that would be a really good fit with
that product."
GripGo also works well with GPS.
good because you don't have to keep looking down at your phone to see it,"
Nicole said. "It's right there."
GripGo drives away with a passing grade in this test. Nicole gave it a B+.
a good product if you have the right phone to put in it," she said.

Welsh Secretary: furnace 'a sign of Tata's commitment to Wales'
The lighting of blast furnace four not only marks the completion of a sophisticated £185 million engineering effort, but also signals Tata's commitment to the future of steel-making in Wales.
– David Jones MP, Secretary of State for Wales
There is no denying the challenges that steel companies like Tata are facing in difficult global markets.
During my recent meeting with the company's senior executives and union representatives in Port Talbot, we were able to discuss how Government and the organisation can work together to ensure Tata' s UK operations can remain competitive.
The restarting of the furnace will go some way towards that aim, and I look forward to making a return visit to Port Talbot to see it in full operational mode in the near future.

Gas leak forces closure of Pear Tree service station
9:40am Monday 19th November 2012 in News By Freddie Whittaker
DRIVERS were stranded for several hours at a service station in Oxford after a gas leak.
Police sealed off the Pear Tree services at the junction of the A44 Woodstock Road and the A34 shortly after 3pm yesterday.
Customers at the service station said they were not allowed to start their engines to leave the area, and new customers were turned away at the entrance.
The shutdown followed a leak from the gas tank of an LPG-powered vehicle.
The services reopened at about 5.15pm, but the fuel forecourt remained closed for some time.
Bus users were also kept waiting after drivers stopped dropping off and picking up passengers at the neighbouring park-and-ride centre, instead turning round on a nearby slip road.

vistors in town were told by the bus drivers the bus was not going to the park and ride, so they did not get on at all.
In fact the bus stopped just outside the park and ride.
We were told it was very dangerous and we were not to start our cars as it would cause an explosion.
So the seriousness was taken on board, however if there was fear of an explosion why was the following allowed
People sat in the welcome break opposite the petrol station...oh and sat next to glass windows!!!
The travelodge and holiday inn were not evacuated either
The road was left open, and cause for thought if someone driving past disgarded a cigarette then what would of happened!!!!???
Needless to say we left all in one piece, the petrol station is still in tact and no one died......but talk about excessive attendance, I counted at least 4 or 5 police cars, ambulance, fire services, AA, RAC.....
Sods law, was a day I managed to finish work early after a 8 hour day (yes, on a Sunday), and this happens!!!!
