Real Madrid's new third kit features two dragons that may or may not be having sex with each otherBrooks Peck at Dirty Tackle17 hrs ago
Adidas unveiled Real Madrid's new black third kit to be worn during this season's Champions League campaign. It features two dragons who appear to be in the throes of coitus on the front of the shirt and it actually looks pretty great.
One of the intertwined mythical beasts is a dragon king, which is supposed to symbolize "the greatness, the glory and the power" of the reigning champions of Europe. The other is a dragon bird, " an animal that is able to relive in the most hostile situations" and "represents the clubs resistance, determination and agility on its way to the victory."
The images that prove third-division MK Dons actually beat Man United 4-0 in the Capital One CupBrooks Peck at Dirty Tackle23 hrs ago
A day that was supposed to be full of pride for Manchester United with the acquisition of Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid for a British record fee ended up shrouded in embarrassment by a 4-0 loss to League One side MK Dons in the second round of the Capital One Cup. Winless in the Premier League through two matches and now eliminated from the League Cup, the start to Louis van Gaal's reign Man United is actually going worse than David Moyes' last season — something that scientists and pundits believed to be impossible.
Again, 20-time English top-flight champions Manchester United lost 4-0 to MK Dons — a team moved to a town that has only existed since 1967. This has actually happened in real life. And here are the images to prove it...
Pep Guardiola roughs up Thomas Muller during a Bayern training sessionBrooks Peck at Dirty Tackle1 day ago
Pep Guardiola has a history of getting a little overzealous with his physicality towards his players. Cesc Fabregas was his favorite target at Barcelona and now it seems he's zeroed in on Thomas Muller at Bayern.
During a training session open to the public, Guardiola wanted to make sure he got his points across, so when Muller interjected as he gave instructions to Claudio Pizarro, Pep tried to shake some sense into him. Muller didn't seem to enjoy this aggressive touching, but he was able to escape Guardiola's clutches.
It seems that winning a World Cup doesn't exempt you from a good Pep Guardiola shaking.

Angel Di Maria joins Man United for British record fee, relieving Fernando Torres of dubious titleBrooks Peck at Dirty Tackle1 day ago
Angel Di Maria's move from Real Madrid to Manchester United for a British record fee of £59.7 million ($98.9 million) has finally been wrapped up, topping the previous record set by Fernando Torres' move from Liverpool to Chelsea in January 2011. Di Maria will provide the struggling club with help on the wing and in midfield, providing speed and creating scoring opportunities in numbers that made him extremely valuable to Real Madrid and Argentina at the World Cup before he got injured in the quarterfinals.

Steven Gerrard's dejection stance through the yearsBrooks Peck at Dirty Tackle1 day ago
Disappointment afflicts everyone at certain points of their life, but in recent years it seems to have developed an infatuation with Steven Gerrard.
Man City's 3-1 win over Liverpool prompted Gerrard to assume a now familiar position: hands on his hips with all his weight on one foot as waves of sadness roll off his body, drowning all who gaze upon him in empathy (or perverse enjoyment, if that's what you're into). This is the Liverpool captain's default "patiently waiting for the world to disintegrate" stance and he has employed it time and time again throughout his brilliant career.
After England's 2-1 loss to Uruguay at the World Cup.
After Liverpool squandered a 3-0 lead over Crystal Palace in the final 10 minutes of a title deciding match last season.
Eden Hazard has questions about Diego Costa's ageBrooks Peck at Dirty Tackle1 day ago
Diego Costa is 25 years old, but many people think he looks much older than that. And his new Chelsea teammate Eden Hazard is one of them.
During an interview with Tubes from Sky Sports' Soccer AM, Hazard mentioned his plan to get to the bottom of this.
"Costa looks old so I will ask him if he really is 25, even though he doesn't speak English yet!"
Convenient, isn't it? Going to a country where he doesn't speak the language and can more easily evade questions about his age was probably all part of Costa's plan. Born in Brazil, Costa began his career in Portugal, then moved to Spain, where he eventually gained citizenship and joined the national team for this summer's World Cup. Now he's in England. Always moving before anyone can ask too many questions.
But we here at DT have unearthed a photo of Costa as a 10-year-old that only raises more questions...
We may never get to the bottom of this mystery, but if Eden Hazard suddenly disappears Diego Costa should probably be the prime suspect.

Mario Balotelli's first day with Liverpool in picturesBrooks Peck at Dirty Tackle1 day ago
Mario Balotelli finalized his move to Liverpool on Monday — the same day his new club played one of his old clubs, Manchester City. This made for a very busy day and thankfully there were photographers present to document every step the Italian international took.
"I went ahead and crossed out all the behavior clause nonsense before I signed. You're welcome."
"I'm going to use this as my travel mug."
"This is where I will fill Simon Mignolet's boots with various jams."
"It's nice of them to put up hand railings around the training ground to keep Steven Gerrard from falling."
"I'm moving 'the weather' ahead of 'the press' in my list of things I don't like about England."
"3-1 Man City. Maybe if I park my car in Brendan Rodger's office they'll sell me to Napoli."

The Moyes-O-Meter: Louis van Gaal falls behind and surpasses David Moyes after two matchesBrooks Peck at Dirty Tackle2 days ago
Starting the season with a loss against the same team David Moyes' Man United beat to begin last season invited unwanted and previously unthinkable comparisons for new manager Louis van Gaal. And the second match of the season didn't help him in that regard. So to track Van Gaal's progress compared to Moyes' record setting failures, DT introduces The Moyes-O-Meter.
Moyes: Swansea City 1-4 Man Utd, Man Utd 0-0 Chelsea (4 points, 4th place)
Van Gaal: Man Utd 1-2 Swansea City, Sunderland 1-1 Man Utd (1 point, 13th place)
Advantage: Moyes
Comments after second game
Moyes: "I thought we played well and I'm disappointed we didn't get a goal. Maybe we lacked a bit of cutting edge with our final pass and final cross."
Obafemi Martins scores by using some kind of video-game invincibility cheat codeBrooks Peck at Dirty Tackle2 days ago
Obafemi Martins had a brace in Seattle's 4-2 win at Portland, and for his second goal he must have used an invincibility code because nothing was going to stop him from scoring. With Seattle up 3-1 in the 76th minute, Martins danced through a couple of defenders, passed it to Gonzalo Pineda, got it right back as he stumbled toward the goal, and then blew past the remaining defenders before flicking the ball over the goalkeeper to make it 4-1.
To do this against Seattle's biggest rivals made it even more special. Especially after the home fans began the day with a giant tifo of Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz holding a gas can with the Emerald City (Seattle) burning at the end of the yellow brick road behind her.
There's no place like home. #PORvSEA #Cascadia #RCTID pic.twitter.com/euLWDJwJvn
In retrospect, Portland's defenders probably regret attempting to stop Martins by standing around and tapping their heels together. Sometimes film references go too far.
Jermaine Jones assigned to New England Revolution by blind drawBrooks Peck at Dirty Tackle2 days ago
Following months of speculation and flirtations, 32-year-old U.S. midfielder Jermaine Jones, who scored an important goal against Portugal at the World Cup, has made the move to MLS. And he ended up with the New England Revolution in one of the most absurd ways possible: a blind draw. This is not a joke. I mean, it is ... but it isn't.
From MLSsoccer.com:
And yes, that blind draw was just as bizarre as the term makes it sound. According to MLS employee Ben Jata, the names of the two clubs were put into envelopes and Jones' new home was decided by the one that MLS commissioner Don Garber picked. Seriously. This is actually how a professional league decided the fate of a veteran player with experience at the game's highest levels.
Jermain Jones saga finalized with a 'blind draw". Names of teams (CHI/NE) were put in envelopes and MLS Commissioner Don Garber picked one.

Sure, Slang is a bit of a departure for Def Leppard, and no, it doesn't sound like a "fun" record at all, but who ever said a band should stick to one sound, and only one sound?
By the time Slang was released, Def Leppard was one of the biggest bands in the world. They had weathered personnel changes,
a death in the band, and the horrible accident that took the arm of Rick Allen, thier drummer. But still they were big, and very strong. They still are, but when Slang was released they took a chance and put out an album that was dark, and moody. It may not have sold a zillion copies, but it was, and still is, very, very good! The title song, Work it Out, and All I want is everything are three of my favorite Leppard songs. There is nothing at all wrong with an artist making some changes, and putting out something different. An artist must figure (and rightly so) that even if they don't pick up any new fans, the old ones (the true fans) will give the new work a listen and most likely find something they like in the new stuff. I did. I've enjoyed Slang since its release and think it's one of the band's best. If you're new to Def Leppard (where have you been hiding?) then please listen to something else before Slang. You might be just a bit put off by it. But, if you are a casual fan, and looking to expand your collection, then by all means, give Slang a listen. The difference will grab you. And to all you people who think Def Leppard died with Steve Clarke, wake the hell up!
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Sure, Slang is a bit of a departure for Def Leppard, and no, it doesn't sound like a "fun" record at all, but who ever said a band should stick to one sound, and only one sound?
I really can't believe this CD never got any more publicity or airplay than it did. True it was a completely different sound from anything Def Lep had done before but the tunes on here sounded so much like what was getting played on the rock stations of the mid-late nineties that you would think it would have been a hit. I wonder sometimes had they released this under a different band's name what would have happened. Seems almost like rock radio was prejudiced against Def Leppard because hair-metal, arena rock was pretty much dead by the mid-nineties. They were trying to go in a more modern direction but their fans from the 80's didn't like this new direction and the alt-rock fans pictured them as a hair metal band so they were left with no audience. There are some really strong songs on here like "Work It Out", "Slang", "All I want is Everything". "Blood Runs Cold" is a great slower song. "Truth is a great alt-rock song. Yes, alt-rock. Nothing hair metal about this song. People should give this CD a chance. It's really good.
This is a great addition to a Def Leppard collection. A new sound for the British band. Experimentation in the indeustrial sounds suit this band well.. but their die hard fans won't care for it. The bonus CD with the unplugged show is phenominal! A must have for all hard core Def Lep fans!
Slang, in my humble but accurate opinion, is Def Leppard's masterpiece. It's the album that made me a true fan. Music needs substance for me to appreciate it, and it's testament to Leppard's strong songwriting skills that I was a fan before Slang, because up until then, substance seemed to be something they were deliberately avoiding. Joe called the music "Deep and meaningless".
This album has been called an attempt at "modern music", and it may have been, but that's only half of it. Modern elements, like industrial, R&B, rap, and Indian styles were blended, but the upshot of incorporating so many styles gave the album a quality the band hadn't captured before: variety. Not one of these songs sounds alike, and if it wasn't that this was Leppard's only CD daring enough to try variety, you'd guess they were all from different albums.
Before Slang, you could count the number of Leppard songs actually about something on two fingers (as far as I know, "From the Inside" and "White Lightning", with "Gods of War" coming close). Whether these songs on Slang were genuinely autobiographical, whether they were aimed at encompassing a theme or inadvertently tapped into insights the band had been storing subconsciously, they resonate on so many levels. When the lyrics are really good we get songs like "Truth?", probably the most daring song Leppard has done, musically and lyrically; "All I Want Is Everything", the band's most underrated and exceptional ballad yet (my favorite interpretation of the song is that it's about an AIDS victim); and even the most vacuously worded song on the album, "Breathe a Sigh", is still witty, poigant, and popsmart enough that if it had been released by any band but Leppard, it would have shot straight to number one.
Which brings me to another point. Slang didn't sell phenomenally well because of a stigma built up against glam and arena rock. It's sad that Leppard tucked their tails and returned to chewing their 80s bubblegum wad because with another solid release like this they could have struck down the stigma and established themselves as a band of meaning. The ultimate irony is that the next two albums, Euphoria and X, haven't sold Slang's 3million worldwide *combined*.
If I sound bitter, I am. There aren't many bands out there capable of this level of songwriting. Joe has said they're trying to compete with the Mariah Carey's of the world, and let's be honest, Mariah Carey only wishes she could write a song as popsmart as "Breathe a Sigh". Hell, let's get back to the Metal genre and suggest Metallica could write a song as rock steady and hummable as "Work It Out"; I know, I'm shaking my head too. But the irony is, until Slang, I wouldn't have expected Leppard were capable of it either.
Def Leppard took the old phrase and lived by it with this CD. In response to the dark grunge music that was flooding the airwaves and MTV at the time, Def Leppard showed they could easily run with the dark masses from Seattle. Slang is complete departure from Leppard's previous work and shows just how versatile and talented these guys really are. You want grunge, they can give it to you, and it's really good too. Hey guys, can you do some country? (just kidding) Slang is dark, moody, and some what disturbing. The fact this album is better overall musically then many of the grunge bands shows that grunge is a fad, and will eventually die out, leaving the really talented bands in place progressively developing their own music. This CD may have been a marketing mistake for the band, but it still has plenty of merit, and anyone who truly likes them will see past the change of pace and see what is really great about Slang.

That is why we are working hard to address the barriers which hinder residents in our communities from attaining a quality EDUCATION, sufficient INCOME, and optimal HEALTH.
While these seem like simple demands, it is alarming to learn how many individuals and families struggle in our communities to attain these very basic needs. According to a study commissioned by United Way of Northern New Jersey, nearly one-third of families living in our area struggle on a daily basis to meet their most essential needs or those of their family.

---- — RAY BROOK — The Adirondack Park Agency approved 14 permits Thursday for the new Essex County emergency communication system.
Most of the permits are for upgrades to tall telecommunication towers.
The public-safety radio system was planned and pieced together over the past two years as a series of infrastructure improvements, primarily with updates to existing towers.
Project design was reviewed by APA staff in an ongoing manner as engineering at each site was completed.
The dovetailed-approach proved efficient — the project met with commissioners' approval Thursday with less than an hour's worth of review.
No public comments weighed in either for or against the system upgrade, which will improve both radio-frequency strength and reach throughout the county.
APA Staff Planner Lee Walrath took the lead in shepherding the complex project through APA review.
He told commissioners that it replaces a 1950s-era system and shares components between county Emergency Services, State Police and New York State Electric & Gas Co., "so there won't be a need for three separate systems."
Co-location, or sharing on towers, is part of the APA tower's policy.
The project involves construction of one new tower and one new panel reflector, replacement of two towers with taller towers and the lowering of one tower, in Peru, by about 200 feet.
The new tower will be built on Belfry Mountain in Moriah, Walrath said, and current tower structures there will be taken down, so the county can better control who places antennae on that site.
Co-location of new equipment will be accomplished at six sites on private land and on four state land sites: Little Whiteface, Gore Mountain, Black Mountain (in the Town of Dresden) and at the State Police headquarters in Ray Brook.
At Little Whiteface, Essex County Emergency Services will replace existing equipment when the new Ski Patrol building at the top of the Cloudsplitter gondola lift is built.
Essex County will replace existing microwave dishes on a fire tower at Gore Mountain.
The same type of dish replacement will take place at Black Mountain.
And State Police updated their state-land Unit Management Plan to incorporate emergency equipment updates on microwave towers behind their Ray Brook headquarters.
In similar fashion, Essex County's equipment on the Public Safety Building in Lewis will be improved with the new system's installation.
Other sites include replacing existing equipment on Mount Defiance in Ticonderoga; Mount Morris in Tupper Lake; Mount Pisgah in Saranac Lake; Wells Hill in Lewis; Saddle Hill in Lewis; Angier Hill in Westport; inside the Observatory on Whiteface summit; on Blue Mountain in Blue Mountain Lake; and at Terry Mountain in the Town of Peru.
The Terry Mountain tower, at about 890 feet tall, was built before the APA was formed, Walrath said.
Essex County purchased that tower, he told the commissioners, and will lease slots on the telecommunication structure to recoup costs.
Originally built for a radio station, the tower in Peru will be lowered to about 690 feet tall as it sits just at the border of the Adirondack Park.
Commissioners understood that most work will either replace current equipment or improve the tower sites and asked very few questions about proposed updates.
Walrath said APA included conditions in four of the permits anticipating federal protection of a rare songbird.
Federal wildlife officials are looking to add Bicknell's thrush to the endangered-species list, so APA looked carefully at four sites that are potential habitat: Mt. Morris, Little Whiteface, Gore Mountain and Blue Mountain.
No vegetative clearing is planned at these sites, Walrath said.
"We found that the project wasn't going to have an impact except during construction," he told the board.
So permits for those four towers have conditions seeking expert monitoring of each site for bird nesting or breeding activity as construction progresses.
The Olympic Regional Development Authority already has an extensive Bicknell's monitoring program in place on Whiteface.
Essex County Emergency Services Director Don Jaquish was at the APA meeting.
"It's very much a relief, that's for sure," he said when the approval came on Thursday, ending an extensive design and planning process.
"It was a cooperative effort with many firms involved: state emergency services, APA, State Police, NYSEG — we had team meetings, calls every week. It was 2008 when we really started in earnest."
The work with APA began with pre-application procedures in 2010, Walrath said.
Jaquish said they will begin building now with hopes to have the entire system operational by fall 2013.
"Then you'll go through a series of testing procedures. We will operate them side by side for a while to make sure it is working properly. It might be spring of 2014 before we turn off the old system."
The entire Essex County Public Safety Communication System cost a total $16 million, with the county's portion allocated to $10 million.
"Grants will offset at least $2 million, in part from Land Mobile Radio in NYS Interoperability Grants," Jaquish said.
"The $10 million is already bonded, so grant monies will offset that cost. The balance is covered by partners in the process."
APA unanimously approved the project in 14 parts so each could be updated individually in the future, if necessary.

About the CSA
1927 In the Beginning
"Means are now being discussed by several men interested in swimming to prevent this fine achievement of swimming the channel from being ruined by the artificial means and lack of investigation, and to ensure that the course from England to France shall be the accepted one. It has been decided to form an Association, namely the "Channel Swimming Association" to draw up a code of rules governing Channel swimming".
Those wishing to associate themselves with the new movement and form the committee included Mr George Rope, Past President of the ASA, and President of the Otter S.C., Mr. H T Bretton, Past President of the ASA, and England's representative on the International Swimming Federation, Mr H W Jones, Past President of the ASA, Mr J M Dick and Alfred Jonas (Founder of the Webb Memorial)". William Burgess, Montague Holbein, Jabez Wolffe and Mr Hughes of the Dover Standard also expressed their willingness to join the committee.
CSA Formation
The Sport of Channel Swimming traces its origins to the latter part of the 19th Century when Captain Matthew Webb made the first observed and unassisted swim across the Strait of Dover swimming from England to France in 21 hours and 45 minutes.
Some 80 years ago, in 1927, (at a time when less than a dozen swimmers had managed to emulate Captain Matthew Webb's feat), the Channel Swimming Association (the CSA) was founded to authenticate swimmers claims to have swum the English Channel, and to verify crossing times. Since its formation, the CSA (now Ltd.) has been entrusted with the task of observing and authenticating all Cross-Channel Swims in the Strait of Dover
It assists and advises swimmers who intend to make a Channel attempt. It regulates the conduct of such attempts - and aims to further the Sport of Channel Swimming. Over the years it has developed into an Internationally recognised Organisation
Accreditation is accorded only to those Swimmers registered with the Association - whose attempts have been observed by Association Officials - who agree to be bound by the rules of the Association - and who are escorted by Pilots registered with the Association using Vessels registered with the Association.
Such registration is subject to careful scrutiny and is conditional on remaining in compliance with the Association's Rules and `Guidelines to Pilots'. These are regularly updated (taking on board suggestions and advice from HMCG and the French Maritime Authorities) and are accepted by responsible swimmers and Pilots as entirely appropriate to the safe conduct of the Sport.
In 1999 the CSA was instructed by its members to undertake a thorough review and overhaul of its constitution and rules. In accord with legal advice and consistent with the members' contributions, a new constitution was proposed and put to the entire membership for a paper ballot.
The result, by an overwhelming and 'absolute' majority led to the formation of, and transfer of assets to, `Channel Swimming Association Ltd.' a Company limited by guarantee and, to ensure that no financial benefit could accrue to any individual seeking commercial gain, devoid of shareholders

"I Can't Explain" is a song by the English rock band The Who, written by Pete Townshend, and produced by Shel Talmy. The song was issued as a single in December 1964 in the United States and on 15 January 1965 in the United Kingdom.[3]
"I Can't Explain" was the A-side of the group's first single released under the name The Who—their previous single, "I'm the Face"/"Zoot Suit," was released under the name The High Numbers. The song's intro resembles "Louie Louie". In the album's liner notes, Townshend also noted the song's similarity to the contemporaneous hit single "All Day and All of the Night" by The Kinks: "It can't be beat for straightforward Kink copying. There is little to say about how I wrote this. It came out of the top of my head when I was 18 and a half." In a 1994 issue of Q magazine, Roger Daltrey echoed Townshend's comments regarding The Kinks' influence on the writing of the song:
We already knew Pete (Townshend) could write songs, but it never seemed a necessity in those days to have your own stuff because there was this wealth of untapped music that we could get hold of from America. But then bands like The Kinks started to make it, and they were probably the biggest influence on us – they were certainly a huge influence on Pete, and he wrote 'I Can't Explain', not as a direct copy, but certainly it's very derivative of Kinks music.[2]
In a May 1974 interview with Creem magazine, Jimmy Page claimed to have played rhythm guitar on the song as a session guitarist[4] and this was confirmed by Pete Townshend and record producer Shel Talmy.[5] According to those working on the recordings, however, Page's session contribution is believed to have not made the final cut, and has been brought into question.[6] The Who have used "I Can't Explain" throughout many of their live performances, often as the opener, and it continues to be a staple today.
Critical reception[edit]
The song is ranked No. 9 on Pitchfork Media's list of the "200 Greatest Songs of the 1960s",[7] No. 59 on Spin's list of the "100 Greatest Singles of All Time",[8] and No. 371 on Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
On the UK Singles Chart, "I Can't Explain" first appeared on 20 February 1965 at No. 45, and then reached its highest position on 17 April 1965 at No. 1. The song left the charts on 15 May at No. 29, having spent a total of 13 weeks there.[9] The single was much less successful on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching only No. 93.[10]

Hollywood's Hottest Women Over 40 [PHOTOS]
Are They All-Natural? Probably Not. But Who Cares? They Look Fantastic!
Where can you find the hottest women over 40? Hollywood. And there's a very good reason. Because it's the epicenter of the entertainment industry, most of the world's most genetically blessed already live there. Not to mention the fact that once an actress hits it big, she's got all the money and resources she'll need to help fight the aging process.
What kind of help do we mean? There's the help she'll readily admit to - like working with a trainer, a nutritionist, a hair colorist, an esthetician, a cosmetic dentist and a private yoga instructor. Then there's the help that shall not be named...but we'll go ahead and say it: plastic surgery! Living in the 90210, these women have access to some of the best doctors on the planet, which is why, in many cases, you can rarely tell they've had any work done.
Read: Middle Age Begins at 55, New Survey Says
Whether they've been nip/tucked or not, however, we have to admit they look fabulous. Here are our picks for Hollywood's hottest women over 40!
Julie Bowen
You know, we've gotten so used to seeing Julie Bowen play the schlumpy suburban mom on Modern Family, we nearly didn't recognize the 42 year-old mother of two when she hit the red carpet at this year's Emmys. In a word: Damn!

Congresswoman Impressed by Khan's Vision and Commitment
Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky today endorsed Mo Khan's bid for Illinois State Representative, saying he is the best choice to represent Illinois' 20th district.
"I'm proud to support Mo Khan's candidacy for State Representative. Mo will bring enthusiasm and fresh ideas to Springfield, and will stand in line with the Democratic values of the district," Congresswoman Schakowsky said.
Khan is challenging incumbent Michael McAuliffe for the 20th District seat. "This campaign is about the future of Illinois and ensuring that our citizens are prepared to succeed in a rapidly changing global economy. We've got to change things now if we want to be ready for tomorrow," Khan states. "It's about jobs. I'm running for one reason, to make the creation and retention of good paying jobs the state's top priority."
Khan is receiving strong support from various groups, including: AFSCME Council 31, Citizen Action Illinois, Planned Parenthood IL, Personal Pac, Maine Township Regular Democratic Organization, and Asian American Action Fund - Greater Chicago.
After graduating from the University of Iowa with a degree in Accounting, Khan served as a Traveling Aide to Hillary Clinton during the 2008 Presidential Campaign. He traveled the country with Clinton, meeting Americans from every walk of life and learning directly from one of the nation's greatest leaders. Khan next went onto serve as Special Assistant to then-Illinois State Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias during the 2010 US Senate race.
Khan is a native of Park Ridge and a 2003 graduate of Maine South High School. In addition to running for State Representative, he is currently pursuing a Law degree from the Loyola University Chicago School of Law.

The UCLA Bruins will play the Memphis Tigers in 2014 and 2017.

Innovation drives productivity. That's never been more true than right now.
Glyphosate-tolerant technology raised yield potential to a whole new level, one the past generation of growers may have found unthinkable.
And the rise of tough weeds now puts that system at risk.
The Enlist™ Weed Control System will offer a new way to keep increasing productivity — delivering exceptional performance by building on today's glyphosate-tolerant system.
The spread of weeds poses tough questions for farmers who depend on the glyphosate-tolerant system.
Malcolm Haigwood of Newport, Ark., sees growers of every generation struggle for answers. "Farmers my dad's age just want to put on more glyphosate, but I see them losing their fields. Guys my son's age have only farmed with the glyphosate-tolerant system. He's asked me, 'Dad, what do we do?'"
The Enlist™ Weed Control System will offer a new tool to carry farming forward.
Enlist will deliver exceptional performance by advancing glyphosate-tolerant technology – enabling broad-spectrum control against tough weeds.
Productivity is important. But for Pat Duncanson of Mapleton, Minn., so is protecting his family farm for generations to come.
"One of our cornerstone values is to make sure that our farm is in better shape when we pass it on to the next generation than it is today," he says.
For Duncanson, that means using the best tools available.
"We hope to maintain the trait technology tools that we have today as long as possible. And that includes future generations."
The Enlist™ Weed Control System will deliver exceptional performance by building on glyphosate-tolerant technology. So you can keep farming the way you prefer.
Glyphosate-tolerant technology revolutionized modern farming. Matt Schafer of LaCrosse, Ind., says that's undeniable. "It's made weed control easy," he says.
But the continuing spread of weeds is putting his confidence to the test.
"Over the years, we've seen weeds adapt to different chemistries," he says. "It looks like we're back dealing with old foes, like lambsquarters, that are becoming tough again."
When something just works, it frees you up to focus on other areas of your farm. That's been true across the board for growers using glyphosate-tolerant technology.
At least, until it stops working quite so well.
Matt Schafer of LaCrosse, Ind., has seen weeds threaten not only his fields, but also his bottom line.
"If there are enough of them out there, weeds don't have to be all that big before they're impacting your crop in a negative way."
The Enlist™ Weed Control System will deliver exceptional performance against weeds by building on glyphosate-tolerant technology. To learn how Enlist can help you protect productivity, check out About Enlist.
In a 2010 survey, 3 out of 5 growers reported an increase in hard-to-control weeds. And nearly half (45%) noted a rise in weeds resistant to glyphosate.1
Left uncontrolled, weeds rob crops of vital nutrients. The potential yield loss can add up fast — especially because weeds don't show visible crop damage like insects or disease.
Let's put that into real terms. Research from Iowa State University shows that 6-inch weeds in the field at the time of application can reduce yields by up to 9%. In 200 bu./A corn, that translates to a 18 bu./A yield loss.
The Enlist™ Weed Control System will deliver exceptional control to keep weeds from impacting your bottom line. Join the conversation to talk about your experience.
1Quantitative online study of 361 corn, soybean and cotton growers (260+ acres), May 2010.
Purdue University weed scientist Bill Johnson reminds growers that protecting crops against weeds means protecting yield.
"The goal within our crop production system is to protect yield to get more economic benefit from that field," Johnson says. "We use herbicides to protect yields; we don't use herbicides to kill weeds."
Weed control isn't just about the current season, either. "A giant ragweed plant produces between 5 and 10,000 seeds. That's relatively low compared to something like waterhemp or pigweed. It's important to keep weeds suppressed long enough that they're not putting more seed into the seedbank."
The Enlist Weed Control System will offer broad-spectrum control, by building on glyphosate-tolerant technology and enabling another mode of action. Join the conversation to share how weeds impact your farm.
The Enlist™ Weed Control System represents the latest thinking in the science of weed control. The system will feature Enlist Duo™ herbicide that's optimized with Colex-D™ Technology.
Designed with growers and applicators in mind, herbicides featuring Colex-D Technology will offer ultra-low volatility, reduced drift, decreased odor and improved handling.
The research and development behind Colex-D Technology has involved state-of-the-art formulation technology, a new 2,4-D product, manufacturing innovations, hundreds of lab tests and field trials and close cooperation with university researchers worldwide. The result: exceptional performance that will advance weed control.
After years of developing the Enlist™ Weed Control System, regulatory approvals are the next big step.
Pending regulatory approvals, Dow AgroSciences expects to launch Enlist™ corn, Enlist E3™ soybeans, and Enlist soybeans with Roundup Ready 2 Yield® in 2015, with cotton to follow.
Watch for more details about availability.
In the fight against hard-to-control and resistant weeds, you need all the help you can get. Multiple modes of action can give you the upper hand.
SureStart® and Sonic® foundation herbicides from Dow AgroSciences are two proven tools that fit the way you farm. They offer additional modes of action against tough weeds - delivering consistent, broad-spectrum control.

Markus Persson - aka Notch - the somewhat vocal developer behind the hit indie game Minecraft has stepped up to the plate in the battle against the crappy American patent system with a $250,000 donation to the Electronic Frontier Foundation:
"Temporary fixes aren't good enough – we need deep and meaningful reform to protect software development and keep it as free and democratic as possible," said Persson, creator of the popular videogame Minecraft. "New games and other technological tools come from improving on old things and making them better – an iterative process that the current patent environment could shut down entirely. This is a dangerous path we're on, and I'm glad to help EFF move us in the right direction."The money is going to the EFF's Defend Innovation project (along with another $250,000 from Mark Cuban ).
If you pay even a tiny bit of attention to technology news, you'll know that patent issues have been a Big Deal, especially in the mobile phone world, where patent wars are becoming almost thermonuclear in their intensity. There is a real risk that problems with the US patent system will discourage innovation as entrepreneurs are aggressively blocked by patent trolls.
Software developers are at particular risk with many utterly trivial ideas and concepts being patented "on a computer", making it a bit of a minefield if you're a startup looking to commercialise a great idea. It's great to see Notch step up and put his money where his mouth is in such an epic way and I look forward seeing the EFF put it to good use.

Stop the insanity--everyone should be accountable
Dear readers, An online petition is requesting our Governor to grant Paris Hilton a pardon, because her 45 day jail sentence is "unfair." This is insane. She broke the law. Her "beauty" does not excuse her behavior, and should not trump a determination of a Superior Court Judge. As a celebrity, her influence is undeniable, and to pardon her for crimes that all too frequently lead to injury or death, sends a message that drunk driving is not a serious issue. Sign this petition if you want Ms. Hilton held accountable for her actions.

text: Five Mysteries of Children's TV Shows, Where are Max and Ruby's Parents Five Mysteries of Children's TV Shows by POPSUGAR Moms 7/23/09 6 Reactions 0 Shares Print 0 0 0 0 0 Oh, the wee mysteries of children's television shows! While kids can park themselves in front of the boob tube and become entranced by story lines, moms and dads wonder what certain characters are and why some don't have any parental supervision. Take a look at some of the things that leave parents scratching their heads and let us know if you have the answers. What is Uniqua on the Backyardigans? What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Pablo is a penguin, Tyrone is a moose, Tasha is a hippopotamus and Austin is a kangaroo, but what is Uniqua? The pink polka dotted creature does not resemble any of the animals you find in a zoo. Photo courtesy of Nick Jr. 1 / 5 Why does Franklin have a name but his friends do not? What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 We know that Franklin is a turtle, but why do he and his sister, Harriet, have names when his friends are called by their species' names: Bear, Rabbit, Beaver, Snail, Goose, and Fox? Photo courtesy of Nick Jr. 2 / 5 Where are Max and Ruby's parents? What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Max, a three-year-old rabbit, appears to be left in the care of his seven-year-old sister in every episode of Max and Ruby. Occasionally their grandmother appears on the show, but it is only for a brief visit. Regardless of the time of day, Ruby is the primary caretaker in this relationship. Photo courtesy of Nick Jr. 3 / 5 Why is Caillou bald? What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Caillou is a four-year-old boy who does not have any hair. On the show, he appears to be healthy and it is never explained why he has not grown any hair. Photo courtesy of PBS Kids 4 / 5 Why does the Wonder Pets' Ming Ming's speech substitute Ws for Rs? What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Wonder Pets' three main characters travel the world saving baby animals from trouble, but while Linny the guinea pig and Tuck the turtle speak clearly, Ming-Ming the duckling substitutes Ws for Rs when speaking. There is never an explanation for this speech issue.

Danni99 5 years The real question with Caillou (and many of these shows!) is why such whiney voices and tones are used! I understand that young children react positively to higher pitched modulation, but there's a vast difference between higher octaves and whining. Nothing makes me change a channel faster than hearing the whining voice (and often petulant commentary) of Caillou and some of the other PBS characters.

With the 15th pick in SB Nation's 2012 NHL Mock Draft, our Ottawa Senators delegation at Silver Seven selects Sebastian Collberg, a right winger from Frolunda HC in the Swedish Elite League.
Sebastian Collberg, RW, Frolunda HC (Elitserien)

Minnesota Wild blog Hockey Wilderness profiled Collberg in late May.
He's offensively talented, great shot, and he can skate. He plays with hardwork and isn't afraid to play physical. So what is the problem?
In 41 games in the SEL, he has zero points. To be fair, he isn't very much because pro teams in Sweden prefer to use their more veteran players, but still, its concerning. In addition, it is quite clear, Collberg needs more muscle and strength to compete because often times he gets overpowered.
Next on the clock with the No. 16 pick are the Washington Capitals, making their second pick of the first round.

SB Nation Officially Opposes SOPA
I don't normally allow political discussions here, but this one is an exception because it cuts to the core of whether or not sites like Corn Nation can survive regulation by a congress that does not understand anything other than what they're paid by lobbyists to understand. SB Nation opposes SOPA. I personally oppose it. I hope you join us.

FGCU Women's Golf Opens Spring Season at Courtyard Classic in Jacksonville
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Coming off a fall season which featured three top five finishes, the FGCU women's golf team will open the 2012 spring championship campaign with a trip to Jacksonville, Fla. for the Courtyard Classic hosted by Atlantic Sun foe Jacksonville. The 54-hole tournament gets underway with an opening round on Sunday morning and concludes on Tuesday afternoon at the Hidden Hills Golf Club.
"We are very excited to open up our spring season in Jacksonville," said first-year head coach Sarah Trew. "We have been working very hard the last few weeks and are ready to jump back into competition. We are a player short this weekend due to some injuries, however I am confident if we take one shot at a time and stick to our game plan we can be successful. I firmly believe there isn't anything you could throw at this team that they could not handle."
This year's six-team field will put the Eagles and host Dolphins up against A-Sun members Mercer and USC Upstate, in addition to in-state foe FAU and two-time defending tournament champion Daytona State.
Leading the four-member FGCU squad into the competition is senior Fabienne Haremza (Wilderman, South Africa/Glenwood House/Lamar University), who was the Eagles top finisher in three of the four fall competitions while holding a 76.75 scoring average. Haremza closed the fall season with her best finish, placing second among the 45 participants at the Holiday Inn Express Hatter Classic with a 223 (73-73-77).
Rounding out the Green and Blue competitors are sophomore Megan Van Etten (Trinity, Fla./J.W. Mitchell HS), and freshmen Georgia Price (Winchester, England/Fort Myers HS) and Chelsea Guoynes (Traverse City, Mich./Traverse City Central HS).
Hidden Hills Country Club first opened in 1966 and was completely redesigned by Arnold Palmer in 1988. The 18-hole Hidden Hills championship layout plays 6,892 yards for a par of 72 with a course rating of 74.0 and a slope of 136. Located just 20 minutes from downtown Jacksonville in secluded Fort Caroline, Hidden Hills Country Club once played host to the Greater Jacksonville Open, which was the forerunner of today's PLAYERS Championship.
Results and recaps from each round of the Courtyard Classic will be available at www.FGCUAthletics.com.

The game was the first meeting between Walker and Cordova since the 1962 season.
The second half was played by the junior varsity teams with Walker holding on for a 6-0 victory.
In the first half, the one-two punch of Douglas and quarterback Carson Roberts proved too strong for the Class 3A Blue Devils. Roberts started the game 6-for-6 and finished 7-of-8 for 95 yards while Douglas picked up huge chunks of yardage all night.
Walker drove down the field in its first possession.
The big play came on a 41-yard pass to Douglas that gave Walker a first down at the Cordova 2-yard line. Douglas went in from there for the first score. An Andrew Wisdom extra point made the score 7-0 with 8:54 left in the first quarter.
Walker struck again at the 4:08 mark. The score was set up on a 46-yard run by Douglas. A few plays later, Jaquese Kirk went around end for a 10-yard score and a 14-0 lead.
Cordova's Taurus White set up the Blue Devils' score with a pair of first down runs deep into Walker territory. Walker held the Blue Devils on their first three tries at a score, but Cordova's Jake Howton hit Malik Harris for a six-yard touchdown with one-minute left in the quarter to cut the gap to 14-7.
Cordova would get no closer.
Walker's Wisdom added a 25-yard field goal with 8:12 remaining in the first half.
JaMarcus Carey picked off a Cordova pass later in the quarter. A big gain on a pass from Max Young to Douglas, coupled with a 15-yard penalty, gave Walker the ball at the Cordova 13-yard line.
From there, Douglas went in from three yards out for a 24-7 lead with 6:24 left in the half. Josh Lake closed out the scoring, getting the corner and bolting 34 yards for the final score.
Both teams will open the regular season on Thursday. Walker travels to Northridge while Cordova hosts Dora.
Dora loses jamboree
The Dora Bulldogs fell to both Hanceville and Mortimer Jordan at Morris Thursday, losing to Hanceville 13-12 and Mortimer Jordan 13-0. Against Hanceville, Stevie Woods caught two touchdown passes from Justin Shaddix.

Nearly one in eight couples experience the heartache associated with infertility. Add that up and that is more than seven million Americans who struggle conceiving a child.
The National Infertility Association recently released it's first-ever "fertility scorecard," which breaks down the availability of resources families have in each state. North Dakota ranked in 21 on the scorecard, and Minnesota did slightly better coming in at 16.
Valley News team's Eric Crest shares one couple's story of triumph in the face of the obstacle of starting a family.
Some people aren't necessarily trying to have a child, but it happens. While others have to try for years with no results. Then there are the Alberts, who actively sought help starting their family from medical professionals.
"We started trying about nine years ago and after about two years of not being able to conceive. We went to a doctor to see if anything is wrong," says Suzy Alberts of Fargo.
But doctors found nothing wrong. Whatever the barrier was, it wasn't diagnosed. Their final option was IVF, in vitro fertilization.
Dr. Stephanie Dahl, a physician at Sanford Health's Reproductive Medicine Clinic explains,"In vitro fertilization is removing the eggs from a woman's body. Getting a sample of sperm and putting them together at the lab."
At the Reproductive Medicine Clinic women 35 and under have a success rate of pregnancy about 70 percent of the time. That trumps the national average, which is closer to a 40 percent success rate. In vitro fertilization is often the last step, the last chance for a women to conceive.
"Patients feel like this is there last chance," Dr. Dahl explains. "And of course we want it to be successful for every family that goes through and unfortunately it sometimes doesn't work out. And it's tough to help families through that. Especially when it doesn't work. But often we try again and get success."
For moms and dads who consider children their success story, this often undiscussed medical option for infertility challenges ends with more than just one smiling face of triumph. Just ask the Alberts.
"We pretty much had tried everything that we could, and in vitro was the next step. So we talked about it for awhile. Discussed adoption too. But decided we were going to try the in vitro and we got lucky. Twice!" says Suzy Alberts.
When looking into infertility treatments the procedure itself runs $8,000 to $12,000 dollars.
