DALLAS — Men walked in heels at Preston Center in Dallas Saturday to raise awareness of a serious issue.
It was the second annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event to stop rape, sexual assault and gender violence, sponsored by the Dallas County Sexual Assault Coalition.
In Texas, one in five women is a victim of sexual assault, so some men went the distance in discomfort wearing plus-size high heeled shoes.
They had the help and support of women who gave them a quick stiletto strut lesson before their one-mile walk, which is the coalition's primary fundraising event.

"Hillary Potter and the Goofy Book Cover"Books
December 30, 2003, 10:37 PM
Fresh from the New York Post: Hillary Clinton gave her aides a very special copy of her book, Living History, this holiday season. The caption reads:
Leaping wizards, is that really Hillary Clinton? The [New York] state's junior senator gave her staffers a magical gift this year: copies of her book, "Living History," with a cover spoofing J.K. Rowling's best-selling "Harry Potter" series. Clinton sports a Potter-like lightning bolt scar on her forehead, round glasses and a magic wand.
Just goes to show - if you can't beat him, spoof him!

Veteran leads Goodwill program
Date: February 20, 2013
by: Josh Siegel | Staff Writer
EAST COUNTY — It was February 2011 and the text read: "You're supposed to be here."
The recipient, a staff sergeant and paratrooper, was supposed to jump out of a plane for a training mission. It was just like any other day. But, this time, he was late, and 1st Sgt. Chris Davis let him know it.
The paratrooper, anxious and sleep-deprived, took a few minutes to respond before sending Davis a reply.
"I'm about to kill myself," the reply said. Realizing the nature of the text, Davis requested an office meeting with the staff sergeant. Davis convinced him to spare his life.
"As a leader, you have to turn that off," Davis said. "I'm not your boss anymore. I'm your buddy. As a soldier you're expected to be strong, tough and have no feelings, but it's a big deal just to sit down and talk."
Davis, 34, an East County resident who served as a senior intelligence analyst in the Army for 14 years, has taken that same open-door approach from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan to his new role as veterans job coach at Goodwill Manasota.
Since Jan. 14, Davis has led Goodwill's new American Veterans and Their Families Initiative. Davis can fulfill its basic mission — to be a comprehensive resource guide for veterans returning to civilian life, helping them find meaningful employment, housing and attaining benefits — better than others.
After watching a "60 Minutes" segment on the dire job market for returning soldiers last year, new Goodwill Manasota CEO Bob Ronsinsky started a pilot version of the veterans program in 2012. The program served 33 veterans in its first year.
He responded to numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which reported in September a 12.7% unemployment rate for veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, nearly five points higher than the national average at that time.
Davis and Ronsinsky believe overwhelming options and overburdened facilities, such as VA clinics, including local Bay Pines clinics, demand a more community-centered service.
"I've found several veterans who didn't even know they were veterans," said Davis, who also studies psychology at the University of South Florida Sarasota-Manatee. "They didn't know they qualified for veteran benefits. A lot have lost hope in the system. They try to take on life by themselves."
Davis can personalize the care; he has a story to which veterans can relate.
A native of Ellijay, Ga., Davis joined the military in 1996, at 17 years old.
He spent seven tours each in Iraq and Afghanistan.
While serving, Davis did course work over 10 years through five colleges to earn a management degree that never had a tangible impact in his real life.
Davis knew it was time to get out of the military when his son, who just celebrated his sixth birthday this month, asked who he was.
When Davis came home to visit his now ex-wife and son on the occasional Christmas holiday, the child would hide behind his mother's leg.
About a year from the end of his military career, Davis took part in the Army Career and Alumni Program, an employment service that helps with resumes and cover letters.
Then, on one last tour in Iraq to shut down a base at Camp Ramadi, paranoid questions invaded Davis' mind: "Do I share my stories?" "Are my skills transferable?" And, most of all, "How do I slow down?"
Davis ended his military career in November 2011.
He moved to Sarasota, where he could live close to his son, who attends school in Parrish.
Davis had the hardest time answering his last question of how to slow down.
He first decided to apply for jobs.
For nearly two months Davis went door-to-door looking for work.
Home Depot called first. It only offered part-time work.
Davis was ready to take the job. But then Lowe's called.
He was sitting in a Lowe's orientation when a machining company called and offered a management job paying $14 an hour. He took the job.
But, as Davis gained more power in civilian life, he lost control.
After six months as a manager, a time when he battled lingering Post Traumatic Stress that raged whenever criticism came, Davis was fired.
"I wasn't accustomed to being told what to do," Davis said. "I wanted my hands on everything. You never lose that combat instinct. It becomes, 'I can go to war right now.' But that is farther and farther apart now."
By fall 2012, through everyday civilian interactions most take for granted — such as greeting the mailman — Davis had recovered.
He used his GI bill and disability money from the VA to enroll in school full-time to pursue a career in clinical or industrial psychology.
Through Goodwill, Davis reaches out to a broad networking base of veterans he already knows, and he travels to waffle houses, local hospitals and even jails, trying to add to it.
Davis sits down face-to-face with each veteran and first determines his need.
He will either direct the veteran to the proper resource, or take care of the situation himself.
Davis has already pointed homeless veterans to beds dedicated specifically to veterans at the Resurrection House, a faith-based resource center in Sarasota, and to other resources for low-income veterans such as Jewish Family and Children's Service of Sarasota-Manatee.
Goodwill's program offers an outlet to help others in ways that were not available to him during his transition.
"I don't know if my transition was rougher than anyone else's," Davis said. "I had a decent network of people. I always had that stability. I want to take that model and make it so for other veterans."

Clint Bowyer Race Summary: No. 15 5-hour ENERGY Toyota driver Clint Bowyer finished 10th in Sunday's 400-mile NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Chicagoland Speedway. The Michael Waltrip Racing driver started ninth and raced near the top 10 during the first half of the race. Bowyer pitted under green on lap 148 when a caution came out due to an incident on the backstretch. The caution put the No. 15 team a lap down in 16th, but they immediately returned to the lead lap with a wave around prior to the restart. Bowyer continued to battle in the second half of the race breaking into the top 10 on lap 163 and took the lead on lap 234. Bowyer led for six laps before giving up the lead for his final pit stop. Bowyer returned to the track in 14th following a two-tire stop on lap 239. With fresh tires for the final 28 laps, Bowyer raced his way to a top-10 finish.
Bowyer and the 5-hour ENERGY team return to action Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in the second of NASCAR'S 12-driver Chase for the Sprint Cup. Bowyer is sixth in the Chase after the first of 10 races just 15 points out of first.
Started ninth and finished 10th
BOWYER: "We were fast all weekend, but we need to do better if we want to win the championship. Today wasn't our worst day, but it also wasn't our best. We tried some things that we thought would put us in a good position, but just never clicked the way we were hoping. I know we are capable of more and that can be the most disappointing part. Overall we came out sixth in the points, the same place we started. I'll try to make up some ground next week in New Hampshire."

Lucky for me my schedule is convenient enough that I can do two a days quite often. Is this a wise choice for weight loss? My typical routine 6 of 9 days would be:
8am weightlifting followed by HIIT cardio
2pm HIIT cardio
Is this a good idea or am I pushing myself a little too much? Ive actually been doing it the past few weeks and am enjoying it but I am wondering if its really helping my fat burning or if I should just stick to the morning session.
- Slave & Master At The Same Damn Time -Hoping To Compete Natty Early 2011
I would say you would be unnecessarily depleting yourself.
The best advice I've received about cutting is that you should really focus in on your diet and training wise just have as a goal to maintain strength (or even gain a bit) by doing low reps and high weight.
First you need to be on a base Diet. Once you have gotten that down, you would cut carbs by 20-25%. After that stopped working add three 30 minute cardio workouts a week. over time work up to five 45 minute Cardio workouts.
If you just start out doing that muscle cardio, you are going to burn up a load of you muscle and energy...
When doing Split training always allow yourself 6 hours between workouts!
Good Luck Brother!
But what for? Why not just diet properly instead?
lol I just typed a huge post and some how my comp shut down the page... Wow that made my morning! lol Here we go again....
Diet is the Biggest Key to losing BF. I will give you a breakdown of what I mean.
My Diet:
Meal 1
Protein Shake - In Water
Meal 2
8oz Chicken
6oz Yogurt
Meal 3
1 1/2 Cups Cottage Cheese 1%
1 Cup Apple Sauce
Meal 4 or 5 - depends on when I workout
8oz Chicken
6oz Yogurt
Meal 5 or 4!
Protein Shake - In Water
Meal 6
1 1/2 Cups Cottage Cheese 1%
1 Cup Apple Sauce
This would be my Base Day around 40g Carbs at each Food Meal. I eat like this for 2-3 Weeks. From here I will start adding in Low Carb day, around 20g at each Food Meal. Once or Twice a week I will have a High Carb Day, around 60g of carbs at each Food Meal. Once I stop losing BF I will add in Cardio 3 Times a Week for 30 Minutes.. Once this doesnt eat away at the BF I then start woring up too 4-5 Cardio Works a Week.
This should be done over 12-16 Weeks. It is a long hard ass time, but your gains will be awesome!
I will be posting a HUGE thing in the Powerlifting Section today. I will be dropping from 190 to 165 for the WPA Bench Worlds. I'm going to have Pics, Vids, Diets Breakdown, Workouts... ect. I'm going to try and drop 12-15lbs over 8 Week (been Dieting for 5 Weeks Now) and see if Im able to keep my strength and size!
Hope this is what you were looking for!

How many weeks are you planning on doing this for? What distances/sets/reps are you doing for the sprints?

Climbing analysis
Today was a really hard ride … no racing this weekend (sadly) since the Barbers race was cancelled this year. So I did a bit of race simulation by picking out the longest climb in the Birmingham area (Pumphouse – Vestavia Dr) and trying to take back the KOM on it. I also picked out two other climbs to hit hard – one before the Pumphouse climb and one after it. The Vestavia Falls to Vestavia Lake overlook climb came shortly after the Pumphouse climb. I had gone hard enough on the Pumphouse Climb to be hyperventilating across the top down to chester and then nearly fall over climbing up chester so I had only barely pulled it together by the time I hit the Vestavia Falls climb. By the top of this third KOM effort for the day, I had so little upper body strength left from pulling on the bars that I felt something was wrong with my wheels/tires because any bump or small gust of wind would knock me a little sideways. I realized later that it was because I had nothing left in the muscles to compensate for the normal riding conditions. Thankfully this only lasted a short ways back down the descent. Still, I was somewhat shell-shocked from the back-to-back efforts, and it wasn't until I had made it over closer to Bluff Park that I was starting to feel normal again. The rest of the ride was at a much harder than normal tempo to try to minimize total ride time given that today is my wife's birthday, and we were heading out to the cheesecake factory for a late birthday lunch.
Here are the iBike stats on the KOMs I set today (in order) -

The pumphouse climb is the longest climb in the immediate Birmingham area (that I know of). It is just over 4.5 miles long with nearly 750ft of vertical diff from the low point near the Cahaba River to the highest point on the Shades Mountain ridge on Vestavia Dr. There are also two stop lights, three stop signs, and three downhills on the climb so the total elevation gain is well over 850ft. What was really interesting today is that there was a steady, firm breeze blowing from the west and yet I had a tailwind on most of the pumphouse climb which should have been straight into the headwind. The deep valleys in Birmingham sometimes get colder in the mornings than the top of the ridge lines. Then during mid to late morning and even early afternoon, you get an updraft on the hills as the air warms in the valleys and rises. Note in the iBike screenshot below zoomed into the pumphouse climb that there is a headwind on the flats and downhills and a tailwind on the uphills. This wasn't just erroneous wind readings on the ibike, it was really obvious when you were hitting the headwind and when you had the tailwind.

Dothan Cityfest 2012
Race summary
17th place after missing the winning break of 8. Kenda, Mountain Khakis, UHC-Georgia, Team Coco's, and Rosetti brought their top crit riders. Frank Travieso (Team Coco's) won the race from the breakaway by attacking on the last lap and holding on until the end. Emile Abraham (Rosetti) took the sprint from the rest of the break for 2nd with Brendan Cornett (Locos) taking an impressive 3rd to round out the podium after bridging up to the break by himself. Kenda and Mountain Khakis also had riders in the break so they were not chasing. Andy Crater (Cleveland Clinic) tried to bridge across twice late in the race and could not quite close the gap. I tried to go with several early moves thinking that an early break would stick. It seemed that the race was too fast for any breaks to stick. I started sliding backwards after a 20 minute section with a heartrate average of 182 bpm (several beats above threshold) that started 10 minutes into the race. I recovered after a few laps, but unfortunately the winning break went at this point. I tried three different times to bridge across and/or get a chase group started, but the field brought the move back fairly quick each time. Then as the laps ticked down I switched tactics to try and position well for the field sprint and I was happy with how the field sprint played out as it felt a lot like the last couple laps of the Sunny King criterium which is coming up in a couple weeks. I ended up 9th in the field sprint for 17th in the race.
The data
No powertap data for the race, as I had a loose spoke on my rear powertap wheel and switched to my light climbing wheels (2006 Bontrager 3X Lite) which are still pretty good for crits b/c they accelerate so easily. Still, I raced with my iBike and merged the iBike data with my Garmin heartrate data to obtain the annotated polar graph shown below. The iBike graph shows where I was drafting pretty clearly.

Cincinnati Bengals
Dane Sanzenbacher - #11 - WR
|5' 11"/ 180 lbs.
|Toledo, OH
|Ohio State
|Years played
Several Bengals rookies could contribute early
Whether the Bengals' 2010 draft class has the impressive depth of the '09 class remains to be seen, but several rookies are poised to compete for regular playing time in their first season, and others may be able to contribute ...
Gresham should give Palmer shot in arm
Rookie Jermaine Gresham finds himself in a great spot, having joined a Bengals team that sorely needed a pass-catching tight end who can get downfield.
Bengals sign OG Hudson
The Bengals signed OG Otis Hudson, a fifth-round selection from Eastern Illinois, on Wednesday.
Report: Ravens sign OL Harewood, CB Harris
Ravens rookie OL Ramon Harewood and veteran CB Walt Harris have officially signed with the club, the team's Web site reported Wednesday.
Benson may face discipline because of assault charge
Bengals RB Cedric Benson faces a misdemeanor assault charge in Austin, Texas, stemming from a May 30 incident at a bar, and police and Benson's attorney, David Cornwell, have different accounts of events.
Report: Bengals RB Benson arrested
Bengals RB Cedric Benson was arrested and charged with assault with injury Tuesday in Austin, Texas, according to a report on the Web site of the Austin American-Statesman.
Ex-Bengals WR Henry had brain condition before death
The late Chris Henry, a Bengals wide receiver who died in December at age 26, had a chronic brain injury that may have affected his mental state and behavior, researchers said Monday.
Bengals sign WR Briscoe
The Bengals announced Friday that they have signed WR Dezmon Briscoe, the team's sixth-round draft pick (191st overall).
Bengals cut WR Davis
The Bengals announced Tuesday that they have waived WR Chris Davis.
Bengals release CB Ratliff, four others
The Bengals released veteran CB Keiwan Ratliff and four other players on Friday.
Patient approach helped Bengals' Scott
Bengals RB Bernard Scott fared well as a rookie after applying lessons learned as a runner and a kickoff returner.
Recent form of little guide in Bengals' PK search
Cincinnati's PK competition features a pair of veterans (Mike Nugent and Dave Rayner) with spotty recent form. However, both have shown potential earlier in their careers.
Bengals sign OL Sowells
The Bengals announced Tuesday that they have signed free-agent OG-OT Isaac Sowells, a fourth-year NFL veteran.
Kelly's return helps Bengals' offense
The Bengals now have several starter-caliber options at tight end after re-signing TE Reggie Kelly earlier in May.
Schedule must be weighed in predicting outcomes
Don't tell me the schedule doesn't matter in the NFL. Here's a look at teams that will benefit the most and be hindered the most by whom they play this season.
The Cincinnati Bengals have acquired Sanzenbacher on waivers from the Chicago Bears and placed first-round draft pick Dre Kirkpatrick on injured reserve.||||||| Sanzenbacher was released this week by the Bears and was picked up Tuesday by the Bengals. He played in five games with one catch for 7 yards this season. Kirkpatrick, the 17th overall selection in the 2012 draft, has been sidelined with a knee injury. He played in five games this season, with two tackles on defense and two on special teams.
Sanzenbacher had six catches for 64 yards in Monday's 24-13 loss at Detroit.||||||| Sanzenbacher has become a darling in the Windy City because of his cool name. Starting him in fantasy play could be risky since the Bears' offensive line remains a disaster.

There are eight so-called Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System (MAFFS) planes in the U.S. One of them crashed in South Dakota on Sunday.
Updated at 5:41 p.m. ET: An Air Force C-130 tanker crashed while battling a wildfire in southwest South Dakota, killing at least one of the six crewmembers aboard and forcing officials to ground seven other such aicraft.
The cause of the Sunday evening crash of the aircraft from the North Carolina Air National Guard's 145th Airlift Wing has not been determined, and the U.S. Northern Command released few details about the crash.
"There were casualties, and our thoughts and prayers go out to those who were injured and those who lost their lives," the U.S. Northern Command said in a statement, without saying how many crew members were killed or injured.
Relatives of a North Carolina man said he was killed in the crash. Gracie Partridge told the Charlotte Observer the Air Force confirmed that her son-in-law, Lt. Col. Paul Mikeal, 42, died.
A helicopter landed near the crash site and took three crewmembers to Custer to be transported by ambulance to Rapid City Regional Hospital for treatment, The Rapid City Journal reported.
"The cause of the crash has not been determined, and the incident is under investigation," a military statement added.
The aircraft went down at around 6 p.m. local time (8 p.m. ET), the military said. At the time, the crew was fighting the White Draw Fire near the town of Edgemont, S.D.
"Our number one priority right now is taking care of the crew," said Pat Cross, a spokesman handling information for the White Draw fire, according to NBC station KNBN.
The worst fire season in recent history is taking its toll with large fires burning thousands of acres in Colorado while others consume areas in Montana, Utah, New Mexico and Wyoming.
Seven other firefighting C-130s are being held on the ground because of the crash, which comes as states in the West are grappling with one of the busiest and most destructive wildfire seasons ever.
The C-130 that went down is a military plane refashioned to fight fires. It is one of eight so-called Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System (MAFFS) planes in the country.
Bringing together the Department of Defense and U.S. Forest Service program, MAFFS aircraft provide additional aerial firefighting resources when commercial and private airtankers are no longer able to meet the needs of the Forest Service.
Residents tour Colorado blaze devastation
The plane disappeared from radar contact earlier on Sunday, Dakota Fire information spokeswoman Julie Molzahn told the Journal.
Residents, forced to evacuate their homes in path of the Waldo Canyon blaze in Colorado Springs, return to find only burned-out remains of their communities. NBC's Miguel Almaguer reports.
Around 180 people were fighting the fire, which had spread to 4,200 acres and was 30 percent contained, the newspaper added. Workers are battling the blaze with the help of four helicopters and three air tankers, it reported.
Firefighters are facing additional hazards including steep terrain and rattlesnakes, officials told KNBN.
Msnbc.com's F. Brinley Bruton and NBC station KNBN contributed to this report.

Hadiya Pendleton was the kind of girl who had a lot of friends. And many were unable to get into the funeral because there wasn't enough room.
Mourners lined up early Saturday morning at Greater Harvest Missionary Baptist church to say farewell to Hadiya Pendleton.
"I'll always honor her by telling everybody about her being a good friend. How she always did the right thing," said Lance Armstrong, a friend of Pendleton's.
The 15-year-old King College Prep Honor student was gunned down nearly two-weeks-ago after taking exams. The shooting happened in a park just blocks from President Obama's Kenwood home and a week after Pendleton and her majorette team attended the presidents inauguration.
Chicago police say the shooting was gang-related and they have no one in custody.
"All this nonsense has to stop--it has to stop you know. This mother is burying her 15-year-old daughter you know. Adults are living longer than the children…this is devastating," said Juanita Malone, a family friend.
First Lady Michelle Obama and other Washington, D.C., dignitaries attended the four hour service. They stayed for the entire service while dozens of grieving friends and classmates waited outside.
"I can't see her. I wanna see her and the people in there don't even know her and it's like what is your purpose for being here? We know her, we went to school with her and we can't even see her," said Tammie Spaggins, a friend of Pendleton's.
"I'm not really gonna get mad cuz I want her to rest in peace but it's just sad that we really didn't get our chance to say our last goodbye to her and I think Michelle pushed that cuz a lot of spectators came that didn't even know her," said friend Jalani Bunn.
Even Pendleton's sixth grade friend, Amari Malone, who recorded this anti-gang, anti gun video tape with her was turned away.
"I don't really want to say goodbye. I don't want to believe that she's actually gone," said Malone.
Pendleton was laid to rest at a cemetery in the south suburbs.
The reward for any information leading to an arrest in this case is at $40,000.
Friends and family say it was a long service and a tough day for them. They don't want to say goodbye so they're all wishing her eternal peace.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

Now they look the part.
Oakman will participate in today's Alabama Student Angler Bass Fishing Association tournament at Lewis Smith Lake.
The Wildcats will be one of approximately 100 teams taking part in the one-day tournament.
Oakman's first-year fishing team looked a bit out of place while taking part in last year's tournament on Smith Lake.
"We were out here in blue T-shirts last year," coach Brad Murray said. "We didn't have anything. If you had an Oakman hat, you were special."
The Wildcats got help from the Chamber of Commerce of Walker County and Carol Alexander of White Pepper Realty to land professional uniforms starting with today's event.
"Carol Alexander saw what we were wearing last year and said, 'We are going to have to do something about that.' Now here we are," Murray added. "When I first saw the proofs for the uniforms, I thought, 'These look good.' When I got them out of the box, I thought, 'Wow! These are fantastic.'"
"We are proud of these uniforms," said Mike Tubbs, one of the captains for the team. "Last year, we were wearing whatever we had. This is what the pros wear — the Iaconellis, the Swindles, the whole nine yards."
Alexander, who works tournaments for the Chamber of Commerce picking up competitors at the dock, picked up Oakman captain Brian Grace at last year's tournament on Smith Lake.
"He told me that, 'We don't have any fancy shirts, but we're here to fish,'" Alexander said. "I said, 'You may not look good this time, but if I have anything to do with it, you will look good next time.'"
From there, Alexander started collecting money for the team.
"Everybody jumped on board and we bought the shirts. Those kids deserved better. We wanted them to look the best they can," she said.
The Wildcats finished 18th at Smith Lake last season with their top boat taking sixth place.
"We are hoping to come back strong at this one," Murray said. "We have a couple of kids who have been on the lake fishing every day this week, including today. They are ready to go. They are very excited.
"This is a great opportunity to get Oakman High School out there and to get fishing out there as a sport."
There are a total of 12 anglers on the team: Colton Atkins, Austin Caldwell, Clay Dawson, Jordan Goodwin, Adam Grace, Case Key, Logan Key, Mason Millwood, Bradley Swann, Austin Swindle, Fisher Tubbs and Dylan Willcutt.
Oakman will have the maximum of five boats and 10 anglers taking part in the tournament.
Two anglers will serve as alternates on the team.
While bass fishing is considered a club sport at the collegiate level, Murray sees an opportunity for high school anglers who want to fish at the next level.
"We were at a college recruiting meeting two weeks ago. In the next couple of years, I believe there will be ahtletic fishing scholarships at colleges. It's coming. I would encourage other high schools around to have this. The kids love it," Murray said.
This is Oakman's second tournament of the season. Oakman will also take part in the next tournament set for next month on Lake Wheeler. The state tournament is set for Lake Henry in May.
Today's weigh-in will be held at the Smith Lake Dam from 2 to 4 p.m.
"It's going to be a long day. I'm just hoping to see the boys catch some fish," Murray said.

There's nothing like an early-season marquee matchup between two title favorites to turn everyone into a psychic. Last year, Major League Soccer's wonderful scheduling computer that may or may not exist spit out one of those games on Week 3 of the regular season. Real Salt Lake, fresh off a CONCACAF Champions League triumph over the Columbus Crew and a road win in the league against the San Jose Earthquakes, welcomed defending Supporters' Shield winners LA Galaxy to Rio Tinto Stadium. RSL beat the living hell out of them.
A second minute goal by Andy Williams was followed up by Paulo Junior drawing a penalty kick from Josh Saunders in the 9th minute, which Javier Morales converted. Morales scored a goal from open play just before the halftime whistle. Paulo Junior would add a fourth goal in the second half. Juan Pablo Angel netted a garbage goal for LA, but it didn't make the result sting any less for the Galaxy. They were truly beat down by RSL.
At that moment, in March, Real Salt Lake were crowned Supporters' Shield champions by virtually everyone. Over their next two league games, they dominated New England Revolution with their second team and defeated local rivals and reigning MLS Cup champions Colorado Rapids. They followed that up with a 2-2 draw away to Monterrey in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League final.
As of April 26, the 2011 edition of Real Salt Lake was already being hailed as one of the greatest MLS teams ever, if not the best, by casual fans and long-time experts alike. If this sounds hyperbolic, do some digging through MLS blogs and mainstream websites. The events that followed may have clouded your memory. This team really was being called the best American club side ever by people who watched MLS in the 1990s. Honestly, they might have been at the time.
Then, the turnaround. RSL lost to Monterrey at home, and the Rayados lifted the CONCACAF Champions League trophy in Utah, in front of a stunned crowd. Just over a week later, Chivas USA's Marcos Mondaini broke the leg of Javier Morales with a horror tackle. In the months of May and June, they recorded two wins, five draws and two losses while the Galaxy -- the Galaxy team that they beat so thoroughly and so comfortably -- opened up a gap at the top of the table despite the lack of a playoff-quality starting striker on their roster.
The point of all this is that nothing is ever certain in March. The Los Angeles Galaxy and Real Salt Lake are two of the best teams in MLS. They both have excellent rosters full of players who have played together at this level for a long time, and they have been complimented by players who have performed at a level equal to or higher than MLS. Barring a catastrophe, these two teams will make the playoffs comfortably. This is a reasonable prediction to make, right now, without seeing either team play an MLS match.
Whatever anyone tells you, Saturday's game between the Galaxy and RSL will not change any of that. It also will not establish either team as a Supporters' Shield favorite or put either out of the running.
These teams have traded blows over and over during the last three seasons, with Jason Kreis and Bruce Arena at the helm of the two clubs. Every single one of their games has been fantastic to watch. Both teams have a lot of individual quality and it's obvious when they play that they are two of the best coached teams in the league. That's what this game is worth watching for. That's why this game is worth discussing and writing about. These teams are a better advertisement for the league and the progression of soccer in the United States than any others, but a game in March isn't predictive of anything.
Watch this game for what will likely be some fantastic football. When dozens hail Los Angeles as the best American team ever or declare them as officially dead in the water without Omar Gonzalez, ignore it. Every team is always potentially one gutting loss or one injury away from falling apart, no matter how dominant they may appear.

The Eagles drop to 1-2, while the Lady Colonels improve to 3-0.
For the game, the Eagles shot 43.2 percent, connecting on 19-of-44 attempts from the field. De La Torre's (Las Cruces, N.M.) 19 points eclipsed her previous career-high, which she set on Friday against Central Connecticut State in the first game of the tournament. De La Torre shot 5-of-11 (45.5 percent) from the field and 8-of-12 (66.6 percent) from the charity stripe, while also adding five rebounds and two assists.
Adrianne McNally (Howell, Mich) finished with 16 points on 66.6 percent shooting (6-of-9) from the field. McNally also added six rebounds, four assists and a steal.

FGCU opened the contest with a 16-4 run, that was capped by an Ashley Haegele (Imperial. Mo.) three-pointer with 13:50 left in the half. Eastern Kentucky would answer FGCU's run with one of their own, as the Lady Colonels turned up their defense pressure, forcing FGCU into 18 first half turnovers and finished the half on a 26-9 run to take a 30-25 lead going into halftime.
In the second half the Lady Colonels continued to increase their defensive pressure by throwing a full-court press at the Eagles. FGCU handled the press and were able to tie the score at 46-46 with 9:48 left in the game, but EKU finished the game with a 28-10 run and won by final score of 74-56.

Each have 19 blocks, GWU has one more assist, is averaging 38.6 rebounds per game compared to 38.4 rebounds per outing for its opposition and are shooting just six thousandths of a point less than the teams it faces.
Last Time Out: GWU vs. South Carolina State
A furious second-half rally could not help the Gardner-Webb women's basketball team come back from a 12-point halftime deficit as the Bulldogs fell to S.C. State by a 62-56 score Tuesday evening.
GWU dropped to 2-5 on the season while SCSU improved to 1-4 on the year.
GWU was led by Monique Hudson's 12 points off the bench as the rookie hit 6-of-10 from the floor. However, she fouled out in just 21 minutes of play. Hudson was the only Bulldog to reach double figures, but her twin sister, Dominique Hudson, canned nine in the losing effort. Redshirt-sophomore Sherika Montgomery had eight points.
Sophomore Margaret Roundtree pulled down 10 boards to lead the way, seven of which were on the defensive end of the court.
GWU shot better than the opposition, 37.3 percent to 34.5 percent, but the home squad bested the Bulldogs from the charity stripe. SCSU drained 19-of-23 attempts from the charity stripe while GWU converted just four-of-eight.
The Bulldogs also struggled behind the arc, hitting just 2-of-21 attempts for the night.
GWU took an early 5-4 lead on a lay-up by Jessica Bryant and again took a one-point advantage on a Latroya Pope jumper with 16:45 to play at 9-8. However, it would be the last lead for the Bulldogs in the opening half.
SCSU went on an 8-2 run over the next six minutes of action and stayed up the rest of the half. The home team went up by 16 with just 1:43 to play in the half off a Brittany Baity foul shot. SCSU led 34-22 at the intermission.
As SCSU went up six with just under 10 to play, the Bulldogs sliced into the lead once more, eventually taking a 51-50 lead with 5:33 to play on a jumper by Monique Hudson.
The teams battled back and forth over the next four minutes as GWU had its final advantage of the night with 1:28 to play, 56-55. However, SCSU would post the final seven points of the match as the young Bulldogs missed two lay-ups. Laura Povilonyte also fouled Sophilia Hipps in the act of shooting down the stretch, and Hipps made the bucket and the charity toss for an old-fashioned three-point play.

News & Notes on Cornell
Last Time Out: Cornell vs. Bucknell
Jeomi Maduka dominated in the paint with 24 points, 12 rebounds, four steals and three blocked shots as Cornell knocked off preseason Patriot League favorite Bucknell, 74-63, on Sunday afternoon at Newman Arena. The Big Red evened its record at 2-2, while the Bison dropped to 1-4.
Maduka had 18 points and six rebounds after halftime as the Big Red stormed out to a 20-point lead and held on for the victory. The junior hit on 8-of-15 field goals and 8-of-13 free throws in setting a season high in both points and rebounds. She was joined in double figures by Gretchen Gregg (14 points, eight rebounds) and Lauren Benson (11 points, six assists). The Big Red shot 48 percent from the field and limited the Bison to 44 percent shooting, dominating on the glass with a 41-25 edge on the backboards.
Bucknell got 43 of the team's 63 points off the bench, with Amanda Brown netting 17 and Andrea Wright posting 14. Preseason Patriot League Player of the Year Hope Foster was limited to just two points and five rebounds in 17 minutes of action.
Gregg scored the first 11 points of the game for the Big Red as Cornell jumped out to a 14-5 lead just five minutes into the contest. Bucknell slowly fought its way back into the game, using an 11-4 scoring run to close the gap to 18-16 at the 9:15 mark. Just under two minutes later, the Bison tied the game, 20-20, off a jumper from Andrea White and then used a steal by Lauren Schober and a fastbreak layup on the other end by Kristinia Collymore to take its first lead since the opening minute, 22-20.
The teams traded baskets for the next four minutes before Cornell closed the first half on a 13-2 scoring run to take a 39-29 advantage into the intermission.
Moina Snyder nailed a turn-around jumper in the paint on the Big Red's first possession of the second stanza and Cornell never looked back pushing the lead to 48-32, thanks to five-straight points by Maduka, to make it 38-32 with 16:44 to play.
The Big Red took its largest lead of the game, a 20-point advantage, just over five minutes later as a layup by Maduka made it a 59-39 game.
Cornell maintained its comfortable lead until the final two minutes of the game, before the Bison managed to whittle the advantage down, but it was too little, too late as the home team rolled to the 74-63 victory.

A Wonderful Place to Stay!
This is a wonderful place to stay! Great location - in a beautiful neighborhood with many historic Victorian homes, and a nice long walk or a quick drive away from the main tourist center of St. Augustine. The nearby boat yard and the lake are also beautiful places to walk around. The house itself was charmingly decorated, clean, comfortable, and well maintained - plenty of extra towels, blankets, fully-equipped kitchen, not to mention thoughtful little extras like maps and interesting books about the history of the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and would recommend it to anyone visiting St. Augustine!

Deadly Texas explosion brings back memories of Kinston blast
Updated On: Apr 18 2013 06:56:56 PM CDT
The deadly explosion in the town of West, Texas is bringing back memories of a blast in Lenoir County a decade ago. The West Pharmaceutical plant in Kinston exploded in January 2003, killing six people and injured nearly 40.
Roger Dail, director of Lenoir County emergency services, said hearing about the explosion in Texas hits close to home.
"Certainly, our hearts and prayers go to that community," Dail said. "We've been [to] that route. The same thing happened to us."
Dail was one of the first to respond to the Kinston explosion in 2003. He said he still remembers the images of black smoke over the horizon.
"That's something that you don't forget," he said.
The blast was felt as far as 15 miles away. It was enough to smash windows at Arendell Parrott Academy, a few miles away from the plant.
"We're close to the airport and we really thought that an airplane had crashed," said Hugh Pollock, assistant headmaster at the school. "It scares you to death because first and foremost, you want your kids to be safe when they come to school."
Parrott Academy was evacuated. Hugh said some students had minor cuts from the glass.
The final investigative report revealed the explosion was caused by dust particles.
Changes have been made to the area to help prevent a similar accident in the future, including new building and fire codes.

The article "Controversial Developments Withstand Wildfires"

Greg DiBernardo is certainly not the only contractor to ignore

if everybody feels free to ignore it, why hasn't that section

Charles Campbell

In this case, there is more than a little room for flexibility
on the part of a building inspector in interpreting the code.
IRC R702.3.5 states that "all edges and ends of gypsum board
shall occur on the framing members, except those edges and ends
that are perpendicular to the framing members." IBC 2508.3 has
the same language, but adds a reference to ASTM C840 in Table
2508.1, which lists applicable standards for the installation
of gypsum board. ASTM C840 (Section 8.2), in turn, states that
ends and edges "shall occur over framing members or other solid
backing" — which could certainly include an OSB backer,
as shown in the article, as long as the building inspector
agrees. — The Editors
Keep up the good work, especially the articles that allow the

Rosetta's 10-billion-tonne comet
The comet being followed by Europe's Rosetta spacecraft has a mass of roughly 10 billion tonnes.
The number has been calculated by monitoring the gravitational tug the 4km-wide "ice mountain" exerts on the probe.
Ten billion tonnes sounds a lot, but it means Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko has quite a low bulk density, something in the region of 300kg per cubic metre.
If you could put the object in an ocean, it would float.
The calculation would seem to confirm suspicions that the comet is highly porous, and may even hide voids inside its body - but this is all to be determined.
DigitalGlobe launches super-sharp WorldView-3 Earth imager
The most powerful commercial imaging satellite ever built has just gone into orbit from California, US.

Rosetta heads for space 'rubber duck'
Europe's mission to land on a comet was always going to be difficult, but the pictures released this week of the giant ice ball illustrate just how daunting the task will be.
Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is far more irregular in shape than anyone imagined.

The subsequent withdrawal from the European Ariane programme confirmed Britain's deep aversion to rockets. Until now. The climate is changing. Ministers are putting public funds (albeit a small sum) into an air-breathing rocket-engine technology, and they've declared their desire to see a home spaceport.
Rosetta: 'Spuds in space'
With the Rosetta probe closing in on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, we're beginning to get a sense of the ice mountain's shape.
The latest picture release from the European Space Agency (Esa) may only cover an area of about 30 pixels, but it's clear that 67P is no sphere. In some views, the object appears quite elongated.
Ariane 6: Customers call the shots
Europe's rocket industry is currently going through something of an epiphany - the realisation that it must adapt, and fast, or simply become irrelevant.
More than half of the big commercial satellites that are working up there - the ones that relay our TV, phone calls, and internet traffic - were lofted by Ariane vehicles. But that dominance is now under threat from new launchers that promise to undercut Europe's best on price.
Rosetta edges towards Comet 67P
Europe's Rosetta spacecraft is edging ever closer to its quarry - the 4km-wide Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
Thursday's separation is just 43,000km, and the narrowing gap is evident in the probe's latest photo release.
Malaysian jet MH370: Refined analysis drives new search area
As expected, and reported by the BBC last week, the search for MH370 is going to shift hundreds of kilometres to the south of where an Australian defence vessel thought, mistakenly, it had detected signals from the jet's submerged flight recorders.
The new region is a consequence of further, refined analysis of the brief, automated satellite communications with the plane in its last hours.
Rosetta: Icy quarry coming into view
Take your seats because the show is about to begin.
The European Space Agency's Rosetta probe is edging ever closer to the Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko for what is expected to be one of the most daring space encounters in history.
Skylon 'spaceplane economics stack up'
It appears a feasible proposition, economically. That is the conclusion of a study that considered a European launch service based on a Skylon re-usable spaceplane.
The report, commissioned by the European Space Agency (Esa), was led by Reaction Engines Limited (REL) of Oxfordshire with help from a range of other contractors such as London Economics, QinetiQ and Thales Alenia Space (TAS).

1. The Miami Marlins keep losing, and now there's talk of tension in the front office between owner Jeffrey Loria and several of his top executives. Some say that Loria is now making most of the baseball decisions.
2. The Florida State Board of Education is ready to pick a permanent successor to Education Commissioner Tony Bennett. The board, which meets Tuesday in West Palm Beach, is expected to hire interim commissioner Pam Stewart for the job instead of launching a national search.
3. Baptist Health South Florida is hosting on-site workshops for potential new citizens to mark National Citizenship day Tuesday. The company is one of about a dozen businesses in California, Florida and Washington, D.C., that are part of a pilot program to help their employees make the leap to citizenship.
4. How will garbage workers fare at County Hall? Miami-Dade commissioners on Tuesday will again consider restoring docked pay over healthcare costs. Commissioners voted once for the workers, but Mayor Carlos Gimenez vetoed the commission's decision, setting the stage for this showdown.
5. Don't expect to see much sun Tuesday. The gloom is back, as are the storms. The sun is expected to make more of an appearance later in the week.
