The life story of torch-lighter Danny Shapira, Israel's legendary test-pilot, is that of the modern state.

I have met Shapira on many occasions. We recently sat in the modest apartment he shares with his wife, Edna Harel, overlooking his native Haifa, after he was selected to light a torch at the national ceremony at Mount Herzl on the eve of Independence Day.
Reflecting on his career, Shapira flashes his ever-present smile and says, "We were the first Israeli pilots. We love our country. We were not better; we simply had no choice."
His blue eyes twinkling, he unravels the story of one of the world's greatest aviators. For our people, his story is that of the modern state.
His great-grandfather helped establish wineries in Zichron Ya'acov during the 1870s and his mother's family has roots in Jerusalem and Safed.
Born in 1925, Shapira remembers the flight of the Graf Zeppelin, the German passenger-carrying airship which visited Palestine when he was a young boy. After seeing an airplane, he told his father he wanted to fly. At age 14, he joined the Hagana and soon after checked out on a glider, becoming an instructor at the ripe age of 18.
In 1947 he joined the fledgling Sherut Avir ("the Air Service," precursor to the Israel Air Force) and on May 13, 1948, found himself among a group of 10 Israelis on their way to Czechoslovakia for the first pilots' course.
Ironically, they began flying the Messerschmidt Me-109, a symbol of Luftwaffe's might. Lacking a common language, they communicated with their Czech instructors with hand motions. Israel sent Machal pilot George Lichter to train Shapira, who remained one of only four pilots who moved on to Spitfires.
Lichter chose Shapira to be the first to fly the ornery aircraft, telling him, "If you survive, I'll let the others fly."
It was just the beginning of an incredible string of firsts for Shapira. Before he even earned his wings, his natural talents paved the way for his inclusion in the famed "Velveta-2" operation – named for the skin cream they used, hoping it might protect them in case they ditched over water – which ferried Spits to Israel across Europe and the Mediterranean. Two of the 12 pilots didn't make it. Shapira did. He continued training until his graduation in March 1949 along with Tibi Ben-Shachar, Shaya Gazit and Motti Fein, later known as Motti Hod, who commanded the IAF to stunning victory in June 1967.
While most IAF pilots know that Shapira had a big hand in the fateful Six Day War, few are aware of the extent of his contribution. It began when he completed the French test-pilots course in 1959. IAF Maj.-Gen. Ezer Weizman asked Shapira to stay on and evaluate the newest airplane the French were offering, the Mirage. It was top secret and the French were unwilling to let a foreigner – even a prospective customer – near it, let alone fly.
Weizman insisted, instructing Shapira to see if the plane would be suitable for Israel. France's Dassault engineers had designed the Mirage as a high-altitude interceptor, but the IAF needed a versatile fighter that could serve many purposes, including ground-attack with bombs. The real kicker was our insistence on the inclusion of an internal cannon. "Passe," said the engineers who had developed a rocket booster that would help the Mirage streak to altitude quickly and air-to-air missiles to shoot down enemy planes (the Americans also were of the same mindset in the late 1950s/early '60s).
But Shapira and the IAF stuck to their guns (pun intended) and twin 30 mm. DEFA cannons were installed. Incredibly, these very same guns proved their worth. In the momentous 1967 campaign, Mirages accounted for 51 of the 60 Arab airplanes shot down in dogfights, every one by cannon fire.
Besides those aircraft destroyed in tight-turning engagements, Mirages were responsible for a lion's share of the 450 enemy planes and hundreds of tanks that were obliterated at close range when IAF pilots strafed aircraft trapped on the ground, as well as armored columns in the Mitla Pass and elsewhere.
Besides ensuring that our Mirages had "the right stuff," Shapira personally tended to the ferrying of each of the 76 sleek fighters from France to Israel in 19 separate missions. While helping to design and deliver our top fighters certainly would have been enough, Danny played an even more incredible role that gave our side a secret advantage. In 1966, the Mossad helped an Iraqi pilot defect to Israel with Russia's front-line MiG 21 fighter. Without a manual or checklist, Shapira took the MiG through its paces and performed mock dogfights against Israeli Mirage pilots who quickly learned how best to defeat it. Soon after the 1967 war the Americans were delighted to learn how to exploit the MiG's relative weaknesses and Shapira believes this helped contribute to improving relations with the US which were not as close back then.
Shapira's long career at the Israel Aerospace Industries was no less remarkable. He was chief test pilot who helped develop and test Israel's first fighter – the Nesher, a knock-off of the Mirage, and the Kfir. Like every other pilot who has ever flown a Mirage, Shapira fell in love with its sleek profile and elegant human engineering. As the late IAF Brig.-Gen. Asher Snir once said, "You strap into a Phantom… you strap on a Mirage."
Shapira loved the Kfir which combined the Mirage's graceful French body with American strength (General Electric J-79 engine) along with Israeli "Yiddishe Kop" (local avionics and computer systems).
Some of Danny's wildest adventures took place in far-flung reaches of the world, flying light transports and executive jets that the IAI was selling.
In Ecuador he landed an Arava STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) aircraft on a ridiculously short 285 meter strip 5,000 feet above sea level in 30 degree Celsius heat. The client was convinced if Shapira could do it they would buy the airplane.
In Bangkok he made a take-off from a pier that no local pilot would dare attempt, after learning that it was impossible to transport the plane by truck as planned due to ground obstacles.
He has shared a cockpit with famous and infamous alike, such as Jordan's King Hussein and Uganda's president Idi Amin.
In all he has flown more than 12,000 hours in over 100 types of aircraft. Veteran IAF pilot Brig.- Gen. Ran Ronen (res.) calls him the most natural pilot who has ever touched a stick and throttle. He has been called Israel's Chuck Yeager, and not only for breaking records in flight. Like the iconic US aviator, Shapira has helped shape the very course of aviation and remains a role model for aspiring pilots who learn from his legacy of grace under pressure.
How did he feel, I ask, when he was called to light a torch at the Independence Day ceremony? "I was truly delighted," he tells me. "It is a great honor to be recognized by the air force, the IDF and by your country as it celebrates 65 years of independence. I was chosen in consideration of what I have done to make our nation secure and am humbled by my selection."
Shapira takes great pride in his daughter, Irit, an experienced El Al flight purser, and two pilot sons. It is easy to understand how all three were raised in high-flying tradition. Shapira flew along with his sons, who were my peers, during the 1982 Lebanon campaign. The elder Shapira flew Aravas as a reservist, Ronen flew F-15s at Tel Nof base (shooting down 2 Migs) and Oded flew Kfirs their father helped test. Ronen still flies as an experimentl test pilot at IAI and Oded flies as a captain for El AL, although he has moved to F-16s as a reservist.
Shapira loves to relate how his main concern during that first 1967 mission, as he fought for his life against SAMs, was that he might get shot down and miss Ronen's bar mitzva, which was slated for the following Saturday.
"On the way to attack Cairo West Airfield, I was absorbed in flying formation while the ground whizzed past my Mirage at 900 kilometers per hour, less than 100 feet below me," he says.
Shapira pauses and reveals uncharacteristic emotion.
After all his work tailoring the Mirage to Israel's needs, personally shepherding each plane here, testing the MiG and helping IAF pilots understand how to defeat it, still nothing could allay his personal fears.
"After all that, the very real possibility that I might not return almost brought a tear to my eye," he says. "Fortunately, we soon crossed into the target area and every fiber of my being refocused on the mission."
The results were predictable. Shapira hit his target, evaded the SAMs and survived to fight another day. His squadron even gave him the last of the six days off so he could stand by Ronen as he ascended to the Torah. Fittingly, as the family lifted their eyes to the Heavens in thanks that Shabbat morning, Shapira says they saw formations of IAF fighters making their way to the last battles on the Golan Heights.
"It was symbolic," he recalls. "But what really moved me was when I apologized that there would be no party following the ceremony, due to the war. The kids told me that I came back safely and that was all they needed to celebrate."
Shapira's top 10 proudest moments
1. December 1948: Pressed into the line-up before even earning his wings, Shapira helps bring desperately needed Spitfires to Israel on Velveta-2 Operation. The next day the planes saw action in liberating the Negev in Operation Horev.
2. March 1949: Graduation from the first IAF pilot training course (together with three others)
3. 1956: Reconnaissance over H-3. In a twin engine Meteor, Shapiro, with navigator Rafi Sivron, finds the distant Iraqi field, yet encounters a 200 mph jet-stream headwind and barely makes it back, shutting down one engine to save fuel.
4. 1959: Shapira completes France's Test Pilot Course. He stays on to help the IAF in its decision regarding the Mirage and ends up redefining the aircraft configuration to include cannons, which are critical in Israel's miraculous "three hours in June" 1967. He led ferry missions to Israel for all 76 Mirage fighters.
5. June 26, 1959: As a test-pilot in France, Danny becomes the first Israeli aviator to reach Mach 2 (twice the speed of sound) in a Mirage prototype configured with a rocket motor. He reaches 70,000 feet wearing a full pressure astronaut's suit. In 1995 Shapira is inducted as an honorary fellow in the Society for Experimental Test Pilots.
6. 1966: Shapira becomes first Western pilot to fly a Russian MiG-21 that arrived via a Mossad operation.
7. 1967: Shapira is the first Israeli pilot to be engaged by and outmaneuver a Russian-made SA-2 surface-to-air missile, on the first day of Six Day War.
8. 1973: Shapira coolly finds the airfield after losing navigational instruments at night while taking IAI Westwind Executive jet to Brazil, flying "blind" over jungle, and reorienting himself just prior to landing. Shapira lands on fumes.
9. 1970s-1980s : "Impossible" take-offs and landings in the Arava transport on Ecuadorian mountaintop and Thai waterfront pier, among others.
10. 1982-88: Shapira performs test flights of Nesher and Kfir with IAI test pilot son Ronen. After retiring from IAI, Shapira is invited in 1996 to join Ronen in a twin seat MiG- 21 refurbished by IAI for European client, in a sortie commemorating Shapira's historic MiG-21 flights.
The writer is a lieutenant-colonel (res.) in the IAF.
He flew fighters for the Israeli and US air forces, earning the IAF Commander's Medal for a longrange reconnaissance mission in 1982.

JU dedicates the Swisher Golf Facility
On a morning with temperatures more like the Old Course at St Andrews than the banks of the St Johns River, the Jacksonville University community formally dedicated the Swisher Golf Practice Facility Friday.
On hand were representatives of Swisher International, Florida Carter and other local businesses that came together to complete the formation of the state of the art short game golf practice facility. Along with the local dignitaries were members of the JU Board of Trustees and current President Kerry Romesburg as well as President Elect Tim Cost.
"The name Swisher is synonymous with JU," said Romesburg. "They have been here since the beginning. This facility is a tremendous addition to our campus."
Dolphin men's golf coach Mike Blackburn addressed the crowd thanking them for coming out and contributing to the success of the project.
"We are now able to recruit with the national powers," said Blackburn. "An on-campus facility will allow us to take our program to the next level and attract the high level talent that we previously had missed out on as well as further develop our current players. Through their generous donations to JU, Billy and Jackie Ziegler of Swisher International have assured student-athletes have access to state of the art facilities for years to come."
The practice area allows players to work on shots up to 125 yards and puts an emphasis on the short game where the majority of golf shots take place.
The facility is maintained by the staff of the Ponte Vedra Golf and Country Club and will be open year round to members of the golf program.

GatorGirl....did you say you are a USF student, but a Gator fan?On what F'ing planet does that make sense? ÃÂ Did you go to one high school and root for another too??Wow. ÃÂ I think stating something like that should call for an immediate expulsion. ÃÂ Now I think I have seen it all.
I am pretty sure that we are going to be allright from this, nobody really thought this team was number 2 albeit, we have enjoyed hearing about us on ESPN etc. If they can manage to win out, I think the majority of games are pretty easy from here on out, they can still be a team that will get taken seriously. I told my roommate last night that we need to chill out, and concentrate on the Big East Title, we still have a good chance of that!I hope the team doesn't fall apart after riding so high for quite a while. Rutgers, Louisville, USF, and West Virginia are all good teams, and Cincinatti is coming around with USF I would like to think, aÃÂ good conference, some good rivalries getting started, things can continue to only get better, and look at it this way, Ohio State will probably lose to Mich. St. this weekend, and then we would have had the number 1 target on our backs, now at least we can still move forward next year, and shoot for number 1 in the BCS! HAHAGO BULLS!!
..Hey I feel Great.. what`s the big deal, it is only a Game
UConn is the one team in the big east that still controls its own destiny at this point.
I just heard from a friend of mine on campus that USF students are acting miserable.Seriously, USF students should be proud of their team and how far they've come so quickly. There's no reason to mope around. Enjoy the fact that you were there for the history they've made. Not to mention there's still a great chance to make a BCS bowl game, which will bring USF millions.Just next time ya get to #2, those of ya that did talk smack and act arrogant, be little more humble. Otherwise you get people like me rubbin salt in those wounds.

PaperTigers' Global Voices: Tarie Sabido (Philippines) ~ Part 2
Watch Out for New Young Adult Literature from the Philippines! ~ by Tarie Sabido
Part 2 of 3 (read Part 1 "Best Reads from the Philippines at the 3rd Asian Festival of Children's Content" here)
In the Philippines, very young readers have many excellent local picture books to choose from, but it's slim pickings for young adult readers. There just hasn't been a lot of young adult literature (excellent or not) published in the country. So when young Filipino readers grow up, they turn to young adult literature from the US, the UK, Australia, and other countries.
The good news is that Philippine young adult literature is slowly growing. The local publishing industry is starting to recognize the desire for much, much more young adult literature with Philippine content. Just last month, Summit Media launched Kwentillion, a bi-monthly young adult science fiction and fantasy magazine that includes comics, short fiction, book reviews, writer and artist features, resources for young writers and artists, and much more. Co-editors Paolo Chikiamco and Budjette Tan have put together an entertaining and eye-opening first issue with stories of Philippine mythical creatures, monster-fighting plumbers, comic book superheroes, alternate histories, and deep space-swimming Filipinos, along with previews of young adult science fiction and fantasy novels, an article on fan fiction, interviews with two rock stars of the Philippine comic book world, a directory of Filipino artists to follow, an art tutorial, and a primer on folk magic.
I wrote an article for Kwentillion about the need for more Filipino young adult literature. It's important for Filipino teens to read stories from around the world, but it's even more important for them to read local stories. Young adult literature is about being relevant to teens, and context and distance matter when it comes to relevancy. It isn't enough for Filipino teens just to know through stories that there are others who share their problems, concerns, hopes, and dreams. They need to know that other teens going through very similar emotional journeys are around them every single day, on buses and trains with them, in their churches and neighborhoods, at the same schools and malls.
Filipino teens can now look forward to books like Horror: Filipino Fiction For Young Adults, an anthology of horror stories edited by Dean Alfar and Kenneth Yu, to be published by the University of the Philippines Press. Flipside Publishing will soon release four young adult e-books: the first two installments of a paranormal romance series by A.S. Santos (tentatively entitled The Voices in the Theater and The Corpse in the Mirror); The Woman in the Frame, an art mystery and historical romance by Raissa Falgui; and The Viewless Dark, a paranormal mystery by Eliza Victoria. Other Philippine publishers also have young adult books in the pipeline. I can't wait! This may seem like a very small number of books compared to other young adult markets, but this is the most number of Philippine young adult books to be published in recent years. This is something to be excited about.
Fans of young adult literature, especially Filipino teens, please watch out for many more stories that feature Filipino settings, culture and heritage, legends and folktales, creatures, characters, and more!
Tarie Sabido is an English teacher and editor in the Philippines. She blogs about children's and YA books at Into the Wardrobe and Asia in the Heart, World on the Mind, and writes for Kwentillion, the Philippines' first YA science fiction and fantasy magazine. Tarie was a judge for the 4th Children's and Young Adult Bloggers' Literary Awards (CYBILS) and the 1st Philippine National Children's Book Awards.
We are thrilled to have Tarie join us as PaperTigers' Global Voices Guest Blogger for the month of June. Part 1 of her series "Best Reads from the Philippines at the 3rd Asian Festival of Children's Content" was posted here. Part 3 will be posted on June 20th.

Crews responded to an accident involving a pick-up truck and lawn care trailer.
The accident happened on Angela Blvd. in South Bend. The pickup was reportedly heading east when it hit the lawn care trailer and rolled onto its side.
The owner of the trailer, Paul Lass was across the street, mowing a yard when he witnessed the accident. "I saw the red truck hit my trailer," Lass said, "and the ramp was down in the back so he kind of used it as a ramp so he was halfway up and his truck flipped over on its side."
No one was injured in the accident, but the road was closed for about a hour while crews cleared the scene.

Tottenham Hotspur unveil squad numbers for 2013/14 campaign
Of note: Kyle Walker switches to the more traditional number 2; Gomes still has the number 1 shirt; future Spurs legend Tom Carroll has been handed the number 28 shirt; Zeki Fryers gets a squad number. It's now officially safe to order a kit with a name and number on the back of it. That is, of course, unless you want a Gareth Bale kit. You should maybe hold off on that.

Project Description
This is a program designed specifically to give students 16 and 17 years old the opportunity to learn and experience archaeological fieldwork.
The participants will work as field crew at the archaeological excavation of Pollentia on the island of Mallorca alongside Spanish archaeologists and university students. The object of our work will be the excavation of the city's Forum.
Over the years archaeologists have uncovered the remains of several temples, platforms and altars, in addition to an open space lined with tabernae (shops). The constant activity in antiquity in the Forum makes for a complicated but exciting archaeological project, and each year's work helps clarify the chronology of the structures being uncovered. Archaeologists at Pollentia have also excavated more than 200 graves dug into the Forum layers, suggesting that the plaza ceased to be used as such sometime during the 4th century. Participants at this site will contribute to the research of the introduction and development of the Roman culture across the Mediterranean and specifically in the Balearic Islands.
Roman consul Quintus Caecilius Metellus conquered Mallorca around 123 BC and it is thought that Pollentia was founded between 70 and 60 BC during Pompey's bid to vanquish pirates from the Mediterranean. Pollentia soon became the main urban settlement on the island, named a Roman colony during the reign of Augustus.
ArchaeoSpain groups interact in all aspects of the project, including excavation, mapping, photography, and the conservation and cataloguing of artifacts. Archaeologists will also hold several conferences on Pollentia's archaeology, plus a few workshops that cover drawing pottery by hand and archaeological mapping.
We will also experience Spain away from the picks and shovels by relaxing on the island's beaches, sitting at a cafe, or touring several nearby pre-historic, Roman and Medieval sites of interest.

Study discusses milk changes in NYC Schools
FEBRUARY 25—A study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that eliminating whole milk and changing from low-fat to fat-free chocolate milk did not decrease students' milk consumption.
During the 2005-2006 school year, the New York City Department of Education removed whole milk from the cafeterias and flavored milks were limited to only fat-free chocolate milk. The study found that the changes in milk did not decrease the amount of milk students bought. "The DOE school milk purchases per student per year increased 1.3% in fiscal year 2009 compared with 2004 purchases," the report stated.
"By removing whole milk and switching from low-fat to fat-free chocolate milk, NYC public school milk-drinking students were served an estimated 5,960 fewer calories and 619 fewer grams of fat in 2009 than they were in 2004," the study said.
In 2009, low-fat or fat-free white milk accounted for 42% of DOE milk purchases, compared with 7% in 2004. Sweetened chocolate milk accounted for 61% of DOE purchased milk in 2004 and 57% in 2009.

CATEGORIES SXSW, Fandom, DIY/Filmmaking, Quentin Tarantino, Contests, Movies, 'Fone Finds, SXSW Film Festival, CinematicalIt seems like every week I've heard about a different fake trailer to be included in Grindhouse, the homage to Seventies exploitation films co-directed by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. The filmmakers are trying to reproduce a "grindhouse theater" experience (thus the title) and want to include entertaining trailers for nonexistent films in that genre. Trailers for movies like Werewolf Women of the SS are being directed by Rob Zombie, Eli Roth and maybe even Edgar Wright. Danny Trejo is supposed to be in one of the trailers, although I'm not sure which.
Now Rodriguez has teamed up with SXSW to invite all of us to make our own fake trailers for grindhouse movies. You can make and submit a grindhouse trailer to SXSW by February 12, and Rodriguez will select the best one to show during a presentation during the SXSW film festival called "Robert Rodriguez's Grindhouse 101." (Please, please, don't let this session be at the same time as the horror panel Scott Weinberg is on.) If you want a lot of grindhouse-loving film geeks and Rodriguez fans watching a short you made -- not to mention the director screening your film himself -- now's your chance.
For those of us who like watching films more than making them, this contest brings up another interesting point. If SXSW is helping to generate this much interest in Grindhouse, will the movie play during the film festival, either as a lavish premiere or as a super-secret surprise like last year's A Scanner Darkly screening? I can't wait to find out. (Too bad Austin weather in March is too unpredictable for an outdoor drive-in-style screening ... that would be ideal.)

CATEGORIES Drama, Independent, Music & Musicals, Casting, Deals, Sony, Oscar Watch, Cinematical Indie, Movies, Oscars, CinematicalThere still seems to be no official press release regarding Don Cheadle's involvement in a Miles Davis biopic, but TMZ is reporting that not only is the actor confirmed to star as the jazz trumpet legend, but he will be directing the film, as well. Erik told us back in March about the project, but at that time it was thought that Sony Pictures would be involved and that Antoine Fuqua might be interested in directing it. Then, just a few weeks ago, Jessica mentioned that there are in fact two competing Davis pics.
Apparently, the main setback in getting this project started was securing music rights. That is where Sony ended up being involved, as producer Cary Brokaw went to the studio, which released his last two pictures, as a go-between in dealing with Davis' Columbia Records catalog (Sony Pictures and Columbia Records are owned by the same conglomerate). But the film will not be produced by the studio; Brokaw will reportedly be financing it independently. I predict, however, that in the end it will be distributed by Sony Classics.
Writing the screenplay for the bio are Chris Wilkinson and Steve Rivele, the Oscar-nominated duo behind other biopics, such as Nixon, Ali, Copying Beethoven and an upcoming film about Jackie Robinson. Depending on Cheadle's talent as a director -- we will see his handiwork first with next year's Tishomingo Blues --- he could very well go on to win an Oscar (or two!) for this project. We already know that he's an amazing actor and that the Academy loves biographical roles, so this is obviously a film that should generate buzz even before the thing has its first day of shooting.

Childress still testing his players
Posted on Sun, Sep. 24, 2006
[size=13pt]Childress still testing his players[/size]
After a testy but comical critique from her ex-stepbrother in the 1995 movie "Clueless," Cher Horowitz, played by actress Alicia Silverstone, dismissively quipped, "Freshman psych rears its ugly head."
Over the past nine months, psychology has been inconspicuously omnipresent at Winter Park.
Since his arrival, Vikings coach Brad Childress appears to have tapped into his bachelor's degree in psychology from Eastern Illinois.
Determined to craft a roster loaded with mentally tough, competitively inspired, team-oriented players, Childress encouraged players to attend the "voluntary" offseason sessions, and he imposed a weight limit for every player.
Fiercely private about his "in-house" affairs, Childress seems to have engaged three starters in his psychological tests: quarterback Daunte Culpepper, receiver Koren Robinson and defensive tackle Pat Williams.
Showing up a few pounds over his limit, Williams was placed on the physically unable to perform list at the start of training camp. But the veteran accepted responsibility for not meeting the weight goal.
As Childress pushed the players in training camp with demanding practices and barely any time off, Robinson missed curfew at least once, and he missed a few practices with a minor knee injury.
Culpepper refused to participate in the offseason workouts, and he insisted only on talking to team officials about a new contract.
Receiver Billy McMullen said Childress was testing his players during training camp.
"He wanted to see what kind of guys he inherited here," said McMullen, who played three seasons under Childress in Philadelphia. "I believe he found out that we had a tough team. He pushed us hard in camp, and even in the games. He wanted to see what guys bring to the table, even when things aren't on the line.
"He wanted to see us compete."
There appear to be recent examples of Childress putting his players to the mental test.
Carolina all-pro defensive end Julius Peppers schooled Marcus Johnson on Sunday. Former coach Mike Tice might have responded in one of two ways: berating Johnson or benching him.
But Childress did neither, perhaps gauging the heart of his young tackle.
Would Johnson quit or keep fighting?
After a lull in his play during a portion of the third quarter, Johnson rebounded in the fourth quarter, left tackle Bryant McKinnie said.
"It showed that he was a fighter, and he wasn't just going to pack it in and say, 'Well, he's just better than me,' " McKinnie said. "He kept fighting and tried to play him a little better."
In meetings and practices, Childress sometimes strays from the game plan to make a point, or measure how his players react in unusual situations.
Early in training camp, during two-minute drills, Childress would call for the field-goal unit, even though they were not included in the practice script.
"He threw us out there a bunch from 48, 49 yards, right out of the box," said kicker Ryan Longwell, noting his unit was not scheduled to kick until the next phase of practice. "That's paid off."
But veteran safety Darren Sharper said Childress delicately balances prodding and pushing too much.
"He knows how to push the proper buttons, and he's always tinkering with things and doing things a little different," Sharper said. "That's why people have tried to get him as a head coach the last three years."
The coach had another surprise in store for his players Monday.
After playing on Monday night, the Vikings endured a shortened week before facing Carolina. Yet in spite of a 2-0 start, Childress ignored the always-popular Victory Monday and scheduled a full day of meetings.
"The thing is, if we want to be what we say we want to be, we need to be here on Monday," Vikings safety Dwight Smith said. "Once we get later in the season, yeah, maybe we'll get a day off."
"If at first you don't succeed, parachuting is not for you"

Right so a couple of things I feel Zelda SHOULD be
1. Link should always be Male.
(Idk I just alway thought it to be a universal constant)
2. I am totally all for a female protagonist.
(Why not make Zelda the protagonist for once?)
What I was loosely thinking was:
Setting: Link is prince of Hyrule and in charge of either leading his forces against Ganon's, or Amassing an army to fight the oncoming attack.

A driver was killed Friday morning in a rollover on I-27 in Hale County.
The accident happened just before 10 a.m.
Troopers say Mark Allan Reagan, 61, of Hale Center, was traveling north in a 1994 Mercury 4-door when he lost control and went into the center median.
Reagan over-corrected and the Mercury skidded across the northbound traffic lanes and overturned in the east ditch.
Reagan was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected. He was pronounced deceased at the scene by Judge Davis of Hale County.

Greenville County deputies said there was a fatal shooting on Woodleigh Drive on Wednesday.
A juvenile was found dead in the backyard of a Taylors home when deputies arrived around 6:15 p.m., according to Jonathan Smith of the Greenville County Sheriff's Office.
Smith said the victim did not live at the residence where his body was found. A resident of the home was taken into custody, but was not arrested or charged with any crime at this time, according to Smith.
Deputy Coroner Mike Ellis identified the victim as 15-year-old Trayvon Dodd, of Taylors, and ruled his death a homicide. He said Dodd was shot once. Dodd was a student at Northwood Middle School.
Deputies and the coroner's office are investigating the death.
Smith said there is no threat to the public and it was an isolated incident, but would not release any other details about the shooting.

Army National Guard Specialist Chad Traffansted finally received a warm welcome home after serving for the past year in Afghanistan.
While serving on the front lines, Traffansted hurt his leg.
When his platoon returned home to the Tennessee Valley, he was forced to stay behind because of his injuries.
Wednesday, dozens greeted him and more than 30 other wounded warriors at the airport for Heroes Week in Huntsville.
Several veterans groups, military representatives, girl scout troops and school classes were there cheering them on, holding signs and waving American flags.
"It brought tears to my eyes when I came in and saw all of the support. You get that sometimes, but when you see a massive amount of people waiting on you and saying they are glad you are home, a soldier needs that when they first get back," said Traffansted.

Nine workers at Wyoming pig farm charged with animal cruelty
Nine employees at a Wyoming pig farm in Wheatland have been charged with animal cruelty.
The workers at Wyoming Premium Farms were charged recently after the Wyoming Livestock Board and the Platte County Attorney's office followed up on an undercover investigation by the Humane Society of the Unities States. The animal rights organization caught the employees on videotape kicking and beating pigs.
Wyoming Premium Farms' Assistant Manager Shawn Colson was charged with seven counts of animal cruelty while eight other employees each face two to four counts of animal cruelty.
The maximum penalty on each count under Wyoming law is two years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

New for 2014! Weighing less than 3 pounds, the Deuter AC Aera 28 SL
Women's pack is a streamlined technical option for female day hikers. Unlike
many ultra-lightweight packs, the AC Aera 28 SL Women's pack doesn't sacrifice
on fit or durability.
Combining women's-specific design features and a performance-enhancing suspension system, the Deuter Futura Pro 34 SL Women's backpack is made for female dayhikers and overnight backpackers.
In the late 1890's German entrepreneur Hans Deuter began manufacturing backpacks, tents, leather goods and wagon covers. By the 1930's, Deuter products were venturing into the highest and most rugged places on earth, as some of the earliest Himalayan expeditions were outfitted entirely with Deuter packs. Advancements in engineering and pack materials further established Deuter's presence in mountaineering, climbing and hiking circles.
Today, with cooperation from world-renowned organizations such as the German Association of Mountain and Ski Guides, the French Mountain Guides, the DAV Summit Club and the AMGA, Deuter's international development team is committed to continued innovation and technological advancement.
Backcountry Edge is proud to be an authorized Deuter dealer.
Click here to visit the official Deuter website. (Note: you will be leaving Backcountry Edge.)
These packs are sized for overnights or a weekend with smaller lightweight gear.

METAIRIE, La. — Eli Manning still gets the question.
You know the one, about what makes a quarterback elite and whether he fits in the category.
And now, as then, he still doesn't really care for it.
"As of now, it's not really a concern," Manning said. "I am not worried about where I rank among other quarterbacks or how people rank me. My concern is trying to play good football, get wins for the Giants and having a good season."
Elite or not, he is a concern for the Saints (5-7), who play Manning and the Giants (7-5) on Sunday at 3:25 p.m. at MetLife Stadium.
The two-time Super Bowl MVP is having what could be considered an average year. But he's down from his 2011 season, when he threw for a career-best 4,933 yards and 29 touchdowns, finishing with a 92.9 quarterback rating.
This season, his quarterback rating is down to 84.3 and he has thrown 15 touchdowns but 11 interceptions. His 2,890 yards is only 16th-best in the NFL.
Not that those inside the Saints organization are buying that he has fallen off any.
"Most quarterbacks, when you play them you want to disrupt the inside tackle box from guard to guard so that the quarterback can't step up and get some power behind his throw," Saints interim coach Joe Vitt said. "Eli receives the ball and can throw off his back foot and has the ability to just turn his shoulders right at the last second to avoid any contact.
"He does all of that and he's extremely accurate. It's impressive to watch."
It helps that he has a bevy of players to throw to, athletes that can, at times, be impossible to cover.
Victor Cruz had 883 yards and eight touchdowns, averaging 13 yards per catch. Receiver Hakeem Nicks has 585 yards and two touchdowns while averaging 12.7 yards per reception. And tight end Martellus Bennett adds 527 and four touchdowns with a 12.2 yard per catch average.
That's not even mentioning Domenik Hixon and his 14.6 yard per catch average.
"They've got the guys that can stretch the field," Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins said. "They won't kill us with intermediate routes. Those long balls and jump balls, if they can come down with those, it'll be a long day for us."
Passing is the Giants' strength while covering that phase of the game isn't for the Saints. New York puts up 254.8 yards passing per game. New Orleans, meanwhile, allows 286.7 yards through the air, third-worst in the NFL.
And while the Giants can rush the ball (114.6 ypg), it'll be New Orleans' ability to slow down Manning and the receivers that will give them a chance.
Easier said than done, Jenkins said.
"He looks antsy in the pocket but everything he has thrown is on the mark," Jenkins said. "It's in traffic and it's still accurate. His receivers do a great job of catching the ball in traffic. That's sometimes frustrating as a defender. Usually sometimes if you have tight coverage, just your presence there will be disruptive."
Part of that is on Manning putting the ball in the right place. Vitt knows that.
"Eli is playing at a high level," Vitt said. "He is tough, he's smart, he's accurate."

What are the signs and symptoms of neuropathic pain?
Comment on this Read 1 Comment
Chronic pain is the most common complaint of patients with neuropathic pain. Although many people experience pain in their feet, legs and upper extremities can also be involved. There is no obvious cause for the pain and often the pain has been present for many weeks to months before patients will seek evaluation. The quality of pain may be unique for every person; burning, stabbing, prickling, or tingling are words commonly used to describe the symptoms that people are experiencing. Because the entire hands and feet are commonly affected, the symptoms are often described as being in a "stocking-glove distribution."
How is neuropathic pain diagnosed?
No objective test for pain has been developed; as such, when patients present with complaints of neuropathic pain, testing for evidence or causes of neuropathy is performed. Physical examination may reveal decreased ability of a patient to sense temperature or light pinpricks. Strength and reflexes are usually normal. Patients may be unable to identify if someone is moving their foot or toe and may be unable to sense a vibrating tuning fork. If there is evidence of neuropathy on a physical examination, a nerve conduction study with electromyography (NCS and EMG) may be ordered. This test is used to determine the severity of the neuropathy, and may offer additional clues as to the cause of the neuropathy. Blood tests can be used to identify vitamin deficiencies or other metabolic abnormality which is contributing or causing the neuropathy. In some cases, MRI or CT scans may be needed to further define possible causes of the neuropathy; skin or nerve biopsies are done infrequently but can provide further information in some situations.
Once the neuropathy is defined, further evaluation of the discomfort that the patient is experiencing may be done. Visual analog scales (VAS) are often used to gauge the severity of the pain that patients are experiencing.

I'm referring, of course, to JACK's "Adopt DSC" contest. Get a picture of me with the Dave, Shelly and Chainsaw almost-life-sized picture cutout thingy and you'll be rewarded with 750 points to add to your tally and possibly win a nice chunk of dough!

PLANO — Twice a year, Plano residents can expect to receive letters in the mail from Service Line Warranties of America.
The fall mailings look different than the ones that arrived in the spring, when a letter with only the city of Plano's logo and a signature of Plano's city manager offered residents a chance to opt-in to a program sold by Service Line Warranties of America.
"We take our citizens' opinions very seriously," said Plano's Director of Policy and Governmental Relations Mark Israelson. "We want to make sure we're communicating in a way that's clear and transparent. And that's what we tried to do with the adjustments in this letter."
Service Line Warranties of America — which has an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau — offers something similar to an insurance policy on a water or sewer line on private property. But the original letter advertising the program did not state that the city of Plano had granted Service Line Warranties of America the right to use its logo and city manager's signature in exchange for a "brand license fee" of about $60,000.
City Council members approved the use of the logo in January.
After a WFAA story in May, the city and Service Line Warranties of America re-designed the fall letter to homeowners.
"The big change we made with this letter [is], we made sure we had both logos on the letter to make sure we represent the partnership," Israelson said."
The letter also explains that the city receives a cut of 12 percent of all subscription revenues. In addition, Israelson said, the letter:
states this is a voluntary program
gives residents a way to opt out from all future mailings
explains the city does not endorse the company's performance
About 10 percent of Plano residents, or 7,150 people, have signed up for Service Line Warranties of America's program since the initial mailing. The city has made $42,000 so far off the subscriptions, and will receive three installments from Service Line Warranties of America to cover the $60,000 licensing fee.
So far, 107 claims have been filed and 34 residents have asked to not receive any more mailings.
Resident Connie Schulte bought a subscription within days of receiving the first letter. But when she learned more about the program, she canceled and got her money back.
"I guess my problem is the money Plano is making off the citizens of Plano," she said. "If you get that letter in the mail with the city of Plano's logo, you're going to assume — whether they say it or not — that they are endorsing this company."
Schulte has received letters from competing companies offering warranty plans just like Service Line Warranties of America. She said she wonders why the city of Plano only gave one company the right to use its logo.
Service Line Warranties of America has similar programs in about a dozen North Texas cities. Carrollton recently opted out. Lewisville is considering opting in.

Harmon County,Okla_Hollis's former Assistant Police Chief has been ordered to stand trial on charges of raping a female county inmate. Prosecutors say Jayson Vest removed the woman from her cell at the Harmon County Jail back in January, and forced her to have sex with him in the Chief's office.
At a hearing Tuesday, the state called both the victim and an agent from the drug and crime task force to testify. Based on the evidence in that hearing, the judge set a trial date for Vest, and ordered him to return to court for a formal arraignment next Monday.
If convicted, Vest faces up to life in prison.

I love Hope. I don't find it to be abrupt, I think it's soft, almost a whisper.
A couple of thoughts for an evocative feel like Autumn Grace: Aurora Hope or Violet Hope
If Hope is too low-key for you (I'm comparing the soft, dusty image I have of Hope to the vibrancy of Scarlett and Ruby, and your member name) you might consider Joy.
I think Ruby Joy has a sunkissed, sparkling feel to it, though it may be a little too southern double-name for some.

I actually like the name Hope quite a bit.
I've never met one, but it's definitely recognizable as a name.
Maybe you can get him on board with a more unusual name as a middle--like Hope Juniper.
Autumn Grace is lovely, and I think Hope fits well with it. Hope Winter?

"The small unit is putting the 'move' back in moving lights."
In February on livedesignonline.com, lighting designer Patrick Dierson wrote of Clay Paky's Sharpy: "Smaller, faster, brighter, stronger are just some of the adjectives used to describe this pipsqueak of a luminaire…It's safe to say the manufacturer just might have its year to truly shine in the US."
Well, Clay Paky can add "award-winning in the US" to its accolades for the Sharpy, about which one of our judges says, "You'd be extremely hard-pressed to find another fixture on the market right now that produces this much raw output from a head this compact in size. The small unit is also putting the 'move' back in moving lights, as the Sharpy's speed comes close to rivaling that of its moving mirror predecessors." Another judge adds that is has "amazing ACL and aerial effects" and that its output "can stand up in outdoor venues with much larger-scale fixtures. In the club and festival world, this light rocks."
