Warriors boss holding on to mathematical hope
8:00am Monday 24th March 2014 in Sport By Tom Guest, @tomguestWN #WENsport
WARRIORS still have a chance of avoiding the drop from the Aviva Premiership, according to boss Dean Ryan.
Old Sixways favourite Andy Goode sentenced Worcester to a gut-wrenching 13-11 defeat with a conversion from the last kick on Friday.
However, despite that bitter blow, director of rugby Ryan refuses to lie down and admits relegation is not a fait accompli ahead of Sunday's showdown with Newcastle at Kingston Park (2pm).
He said: "We needed to beat Wasps to change the dynamics of this weekend's game at Newcastle, but the maths still say 'yes', so we will be giving it a real good crack.
"I'm sure half of the North East was watching the Wasps game and they would have breathed a pretty big sigh of relief at the end.
"We will go up there this weekend to make sure we do the right thing and represent this group in the right way.
"We will see – if it is still on mathematically, then we will still be on for it."
The Worcester boss gave short shrift to comments last week by Falcons director of rugby Dean Richards, who accused Warriors winger David Lemi of being "too old and past it", among other derogatory comments about the Sixways club.
Ryan added: "I'm not really bothered about what Dean has to say about people here. I am only bothered about what we think about each other.
"I'm not going to turn it into a war of words with Dean or anything like that because, to be honest, it is rubbish.
"I'm only interested about what is going on here and the people I have to work with. I am pretty proud of this group and always have been.
"I know there are lots of things going on and it has been well documented that this is a transitional year for us, but there are people here who I am incredibly proud to have had the opportunity to work with in these circumstances."

The past few seasons Arthur Turner was a big time playmaker at Port Gibson. After his junior season, Turner and his family realized what might happen at Port Gibson and they wanted him to make a move. What the Turner family could see coming has happened. The state of Mississippi took over Claiborne County schools and in turn the Port Gibson football team was forced to forfeit games this season.
Arthur ended up moving to Brandon and being adopted by the family of teammate Jamison Goods. He says the decision was tough but he loves his new school and new team.
Turner is now one of the top playmakers at receiver for the Bulldogs. He had a huge catch on the game winning drive in the season opener against Madison Central. Last Friday might have been his best game, making a bunch of big catches in a win over Meridian and scoring on a highlight reel play.

The greenhouse is comprised of four gutter connected glass houses that amount to approximately 5000 sq. ft. Twelve seperate environmental zones are controlled by three Wadsworth Micro-Step computer boards located in the greenhouse. These boards are linked to a Tenex 486 p.c. located in the supporting head-house and storage area, which allows for better data collection and handling. A weather station is also linked to the boards and p.c., which feeds current weather conditions into the computers.
Features of each zone include: ro-flo rolling benches constructed from heavy gauge galvanized steal supports and steel-aluminum corrosion resistant trays, screened side and ridge vents, exhaust fans, P and L high pressure 430 watt sodium lamps, and push-pull aluminum shade curtains.
Each zone has a sampling aspirator which sends zone conditions to the computer every 15 seconds. Three portable water cooled air conditioning units are used in the summer months for reserach projects that require more critical temperature control.

In August, HP announced it would spend $10 billion to acquire Autonomy, Britain's largest software company -- a leader in enterprise search, compliance, and cloud archiving with an impressive list of Fortune 50 customers. A classic Silicon Valley soap opera ensued, starring none other than Larry Ellison, who in a September earnings call accused Autonomy founder and CEO Mike Lynch of shopping Autonomy to Oracle prior to agreeing to the acquisition by HP. Lynch has denied the charge.
Either way, the bottom line is that HP's new CEO Meg Whitman has confirmed the acquisition will go through -- and last week the Wall Street Journal reported that the deal will close as early as today. So what can we expect from the union of HP and Autonomy?
[ InfoWorld published the first in-depth interview with HP's previous CEO, Léo Apotheker. | Is HP's acquisition of Autonomy a wise move? ]
In my interview with Lynch, we covered a range of solutions that will likely flow from Autonomy, which he says will remain a "fairly independent" independent business division of HP. Here's a quick summary of what Autonomy brings to the party:
A very big public cloud. According to Lynch, Autonomy has a huge hosted e-discovery and archiving service: "A lot of commentators have missed that Autonomy's cloud business is now very large. It's now about 30 petabytes. And that's heterogeneous data -- it's desktops, it's messages -- so what you've got is a great resource if you've got questions about what's going on in a company.
Visual recognition. Last spring, Autonomy debuted its Aurasma software for smartphones, which -- using a smartphone's camera -- recognizes images and objects in the real world and enables you to "interact" with them. Lynch explained how that could extend to HP's printing business. "We've got cloud-based document management, which comes as part of the printer. The Aurasma technology will be linked to the printer, so basically, whenever you print something, that image can then be recognized and linked to its virtual version. And whenever you print something out, that print version can become interactive -- you just hold a smartphone up to it."

Ah the memories come flooding back. As a teenager back in the seventies I was lucky enough to see Thin Lizzy on the breakthrough "Jailbreak" tour, and then again on the "Bad Reputation" tour, which makes up part of this incredible live set.From the opening chord of "Jailbreak", through to the final chord of "The Rocker" this is perhaps one of the most awesome and unforgettable live albums of all time. Lizzy became great on two things, hard work and the late Philip Lynott's majestic songwriting. Powered by the twin-guitar attack of Brian Robertson and Scott Gorham, "Live And Dangerous" is a classic example of a band at the height of their powers.Sad to think, then, that this was also the end of an era. By the time the next album was released, Robertson had gone, to be replaced by Gary Moore at what turned out to be the start of a very turbulent period in the career of the bad.But what a way to end an era. From "Fighting" to "Bad Reputation", this was Thin Lizzy at their best, and this set could quite easily have been called "The Bext Of Thin Lizzy – Live". The majesty of "Emerald", the sheer power of "Massacre", the almost touching sentiment of "Still In love With You" (coupled with the devastatingly emotional solo from Robertson) to the sheer exuberance of "Sha-La-La" and "Baby Drives Me Crazy", this covers all the bases.However, at a time when many bands are having their back catalogs remastered, enhanced and re-released, it is maybe fitting that this treatment should also be applied to Thin Lizzy. If the "Bad Reputation" tour was recorded, why not include "Soldier Of Fortune" (the opener on the British tour), or "Bad Reputation" itself (including Brian Downey's drum solo), and where oh where is that incredible live version of "Me And The Boys Are Wondering How You And The Girls Are Getting Home From Here Tonight" previously only available on the b-side of the "Rosalie" live single.But these are minor quibbles. This album is simply a must for die-hard Thin Lizzy fans, and newcomers alike. By all means buy the compilations, but this is the one album which would give a true introduction to the work of Thin Lizzy, and is way more representative of the band at their best than the somewhat disappointing "Life" or the more recent tribute album "One Night Only".
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Thin Lizzy released this album on the back of a string of magical releases from the band, and as such featured their most famous lineup. It featured Brian Downey on drums, Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson on guitars, and of course the unmistakable Phil Lynott on bass and handling the vocals. It would be the last album to feature this particular lineup. The remaining Thin Lizzy albums would strive to capture the sound solidly established to this point. The album launches into Jailbreak and Emerald, both from their chartbreaking "jailbreak" album. Also featured are live classics like Massacre, The Boys are Back in Town, Warrior, Cowboy Song, and Don't believe a Word, all captured with the emmense energy that went into their live performances. Of particular note is a slower tune entitled "Still in Love With You". It was one of the bonified underground classics that I believe made the music of Thin Lizzy what it was. Although the band is most noted for their hard rocking tunes, it is through songs like this one that they displayed the diversity that made them a great band. I have seen the band live and can testify to the fact that this album captures the spirit of their live performances. This album can be complimented by a video release entitled "Thin Lizzy – Live and Dangerous at the Rainbow". Both are must for the Thin Lizzy fan.
Most all of the best 70s albums were live. And this one, my friends, is the best of all the 70s live albums. I really enjoyed Thin Lizzy's studio albums…but I was totally blown away when I heard LIVE AND DANGEROUS.That voice. Those guitars. Perfection. There are many excellent songs here, some that really rock like Jailbreak, Rosalie, Cowboy Song and The Rocker. Some are so delicate and moving that they will rip your heart out, like Dancing In The Moonlight and Still In Love With You. Take a long drive one night. Put this in your CD player. Understand life. It's a simple as that.Thanks, Thin Lizzy. You have brightened many a day for me since discovering this album in 1979. I plan on having a copy of this in my collection until the day I die.
Not enough good things can be said about Thin Lizzy's LIVE AND DANGEROUS. Almost every song on the album blows away the studio version. The best thing about LIVE AND DANGEROUS is that the production is perfect. Polished enough in the studio during mixing that the sound quality is excellent, but still raw enough to capture the power and energy of Thin Lizzy live. Truly live, with virtually no studio overdubs. (UPDATE – As it turns out, that wasn't true. Most of the guitars and vocals were overdubbed in the studio. What's odd is that I've heard true live recordings from that era and they sound almost exactly like this album. That's why I initially thought that there weren't many overdubs in the studio. Apparantly, they just wanted to polish up the live recordings and went overboard.) As far as the songs go, there are so many great tracks on L.A.D. that it is almost impossible to single out the highlights – almost every track could be considered a highlight! The best way to put it is this; LIVE AND DANGEROUS is a Hard Rock masterpiece. Rock And Roll was (and never will be) better than this. Phil Lynott, Scott Gorham, Brian Robertson, and Brian Downey set the standard for live Rock albums that still has not been surpassed. If you like Hard Rock (like Led Zeppelin, UFO, KISS, and AC/DC) you MUST buy this one.
Live and Dangerous arrived at my home via Air Mail today from Amazon UK, and I couldn't wait to get it into my DVD player. I was anxious about whether it was a Regionalized DVD (only Region 0 and Region 1 play in US DVD players), especially since the product description on the Amazon UK site suggested that it was Region 2…but it's not Region 2; it's Region 0 (worldwide).
This performance of the 1977 Live and Dangerous tour was captured at London's Rainbow Theatre. And this show should be held up not only as an example of the way a rock group should perform live, but also as an example for DVD music producers on how to deliver an excellent product.
The Live and Dangerous concert is all show. No indulgence by some videographer that thinks a viewer wants to see effects like cut to black and white, psyschedelic swirling pictures or other video effects. This was a very pleasant surprise considering that kind of video-malarkey was quite popular in the 70s.
The full screen picture has been completely restored and looks terrific. Most importantly, the video doesn't jump around every 4 seconds, so you really get to see the performance in a way that feels like you're back in '77 with a front row seat to the concert.
If you've got a surround system, you're in for a pounding Hard Rock experience. The sound has an amazing 5.1 DTS remix. If you've got an old DVD player or old surround system that doesn't decode DTS you're out of luck…there's no Dolby 5.1…Dolby Stereo is the only other choice besides DTS.
The Live and Dangerous line-up of Phil Lynott, Scott Gorham, Brian Robertson and Brian Downey define Thin Lizzy. And all of the guys are on for the Live and Dangerous show at The Rainbow. Lynott's high energy stage persona is incomparable. The guitarwork between Gorham and Robertson is legendary and it's played precisely at The Rainbow show. And Brian Downey's signature drumming is captured in all its glory.
For the classic Live and Dangerous Rainbow show you get the following set list:
1. "Rosalie"
2. "The Boys Are Back in Town"
3. "Emerald"
4. "Dancing in the Moonlight"
5. "Massacre"
6. "Still in Love With You" – The liner notes actually suggest that this song is "Call on Me", but The Boys describe each song track by track during the interview segment, and they confirm that it is, indeed, "Still in Love Wth You".
7. "Don't Believe a Word"
8. "Are You Ready"
9. "Sha La La"
10. "Baby Drives Me Crazy"
11. "Me and the Boys"
You also get Lizzy's 1983 "Farewell" concert (Robertson is out/John Sykes is in) from the UK's Regal Theatre; you get a selection of performances from the Top of the Pops television show from 1973 – 1979; and you get a 45 minute interview segment from the summer of 2007 with Robertson, Gorham and Downey.
All of the music on this DVD has been remastered in DTS; the interviews are stereo. Songs at The Regal overlap only with a few from Live and Dangerous as do some of the Top of the Pops selections. Between the two (aside from what's in the Live and Dangerous set), you get:
"Whiskey in the Jar"
"Waiting for an Alibi"
"This is the One"
"Cold Sweat"
"The Sun Goes Down"
"Holy War"
"Baby Please Don't Go"
"Fighting My Way Back" (CD only)
"Wild One" (CD Only)
"Suicide" (CD Only)
(The liner notes of the booklet also suggest that "Cowboy Song" is included somewhere in the collection of tunes, but darned if I could find it.)
The packaging and accompanying booklet of the DVD are awesome. Plus you get a bonus CD of a 1975 concert recorded at Derby College in the UK. This is a pretty sweet package.
It's the Thin Lizzy DVD release we've all been waiting for. Any Lizzy fan will enjoy this disk immensely. There is no question here. Find a way to add this to your collection.

HIGHLAND, NY — Joseph Francis Ladue, "Joe", 89, of Highland, N.Y., peacefully passed away at home on Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2013, surrounded by his loving family. Joe was born on Sept. 14, 1924, in Plattsburgh, N.Y., the son of J. Francis Ladue and Hannah Ryan Ladue. He was the grandson of Joseph Ladue who founded Dawson City during the Yukon Gold Rush of 1898.
Joe married Anita Poissant Ladue on May 3, 1947 at Sacred Heart Church in Chazy, N.Y. Childhood sweethearts, Joe knew from the 5th grade on that Anita was the girl for him. They attended Chazy Central Rural School and graduated together in 1942 at the top of their class, Anita as Valedictorian and Joseph as Salutatorian. During his school years he was active in the Boy Scouts of America, and he achieved their highest honor in 1942, Eagle Scout. Joe was extremely proud of this achievement, and even more so when 56 years later he attended the ceremony at which his grandson, Kevin Judge received his Eagle Scout award.
Joe graduated from Clarkson College of Technology in Potsdam, N.Y., with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and was a member of Tau Beta Pi, the National Honorary Engineering Society. He was a 2nd Lieutenant in the Army Corps of Engineers having served in the Pacific area.
He was an expert in the field of bookbinding machinery and worked at Sheridan Iron Works in Champlain, N.Y., before moving to Highland and taking the position of Manager of Engineering and Maintenance at Western Publishing Company in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. After Western closed, he worked at Hamilton Printing Company in Castleton, N.Y. Semi-retired he worked for the Town of Lloyd Building Department for a number of years.
Joe was an active communicant of St. Augustine's Parish serving as a Trustee, Lector, Eucharistic Minister, Bingo Chairman, member of the Holy Name Society and the Parish Council. He and his wife founded the "One More Time" Thrift Shop at St. Augustine, which over the years has helped to serve the needy in the community.

Two men who falsely identified themselves as Southern California Edison employees burglarized a home in the 2300 block of Lorain Road on Wednesday and may have attempted a burglary at another home in San Marino.
In the incident where the home was burglarized, a man knocked on the door and told the home owner he was from the utility and said he needed to check power lines in the resident's back yard, according to a release from the San Marino Police Department.
The other man was in a white pick-up truck when the first man knocked on the door. Police believe he entered the home once the resident was in the back yard. When the pair left, the resident discovered they had taken a safe and other valuables from her home.
In the second incident, two men, also driving a white truck, knocked on another resident's home and identified themselves as Edison workers. The resident refused to let them in and then contacted Edison to see if any crews were in the area. When the company said there were not any there, the resident then contacted the police.
The suspects have been described by police as wearing "long sleeve blue work shirts, and blue baseball caps, possibly with the logo of a tree service patch on the front of the cap.
Cases where a burglary suspect falsely identifies himself are a common trick called "deception burglaries." The San Marino Police Department is urging residents to be cautious in these cases. Common schemes are for burglars to identify themselves from being from "utility companies, delivery companies and construction companies."

PEORIA, Ill -- The US House Ethics Committee released details about an investigation into Peoria Congressman Aaron Schock on Wednesday.

Jack Scheuer over at Philahoops is choosing the five best players from each of the City 6 schools over the past 50 years as part of an ongoing feature, and now he's gotten to Penn. Here's what he came up with:
1. Corky Calhoun
2. Ron Haigler
3. Keven McDonald
4. Jerome Allen
5. Zack Rosen
Interesting to see Matt Maloney left off, and Quaker fans who only remember the last 20 years or so will also have a soft spot for Ugonna Onyekwe, Matt Langel and Mark Zoller. Those who can remember a little further back may consider Tony Price or even Stan Pawlak as well, not to mention Mr. Bilsky himself. Who are your top five Quakers of the past 50 years?

Am I better off getting a #3 big bro or a the respective camalots. I climb mostly at the slippery devils lake. I am on the fence and just looking for opinions.
cams certainly inspire more confidence...
For the largest sizes, where the Big Bros are the only option, the choice is easy. In the middling-large sizes, where you are choosing between a big bro and a #5 or a #6 Camalot, I would definately start witht the big Camalot. These are a lot more versatile (flares, etc), easier to place, and, most importantly, you can scoot them for the moving-ow-toprope strategy. If you become one of those sick-puppy OW freaks, you can fill in the rack with big bros later, but start with the big cam(s).
+1 to jon, have you ever tried placing a big bro? go all the way to at least #6 camelots if not the big dudes
Bolts are the way to go. Fuck gear.
Another option to big bros if you can afford it and are getting into the really big stuff. www.valleygiant.com/no9cam.html
Cams are faster to place and can be walked along side you with very little effort. Big Bros cannot do that. I would definitely start with cams and then add big bros to your rack in the future if you really want them.
If you're climbing at the Lake there are only a handful of routes that require the use of big cams or Bros. I really don't think buying big cams for specifically climbing at the Lake is really necessary. But honestly in my opinion you're better off using big Camalots if large pro is ever really necessary.
I think the bigger the cam, the more likely it will slip on that smooth sided DL quartzite. A well fit Big Bro' might do the job better considering the rock will NOT crush or erode at all from the pro against it. They're bomber. Not sure why you need that big a size, but check out someone selling some 'bros here at MP. www.mountainproject.com/v/fs---bigbros-1-and-2/107798416
Tom, so a #3 big bro is about the same size as a #6 c4, maybe a little larger? You have to be pretty broad-minded to even find stuff that size at the Lake ...! The C4 will be easier to place well and easier to place quickly. Definitely heavier and bulkier to pack around.
+1, can't think of anything off the top of my head that absolutely requires gear that big at the lake. I'd rather have the cam though. For me big bros are harder to climb past and kicking them out scares the crap out of me. Big cams you can also walk. Not that I think any of that is necessary at the lake but for your travels...
What's up with people thinking cams will slide on the DL quartzite? I would like to hear a first-hand account of this ever happening. To me this just seems like a myth.
Can't bump a Big Bro.
Andy, I think sometimes people confuse the problems of Baraboo quartzite with the problems of shallowly placed gear. Personally, I've blown more shallowly placed small nuts than anything else in this rock. Maybe that's just me.
Big bro is a more reliable placement. Plus you can't do that complex top rope bs. You gotta climb.
Both. You still saved 1000's over being a golfer. Or boater.

Easy Casual Monday
Sep 30
I am so fortunate that I work for a creative firm that allows for a laxed dress code. I couldn't imagine being forced to wear some horrible suit everyday when all I want to wear is something that is fabulous yet comfortable and on trend. That is how i am feeling today and with a recent shopping spree at Vanessa V putting together today's look was a breeze.
I paired my favorite $10 skinnies from Forever with a super lightweight partially sheer hi low sweater. The sweater is the perfect transitional piece b/c its light enough to wear in Louisiana "Fall" aka 90 degrees but it will make a good layering piece later on. This little gem has a number of great features like the button detail on the shoulders and a super comfy stretch fabric for the crazy low price of $22!
I accessorized with a chevron gold necklace, gold bangles and midi rings and rose gold nail polish from Forever 21. My favorite item in my look today has to be my little moto boot, also from Vanessa V. Super comfortable, on trend and versatile.
What do you think of this look? How do you transition into fall?

The flu is spreading all over Middle Tennessee, and it has brought one family unspeakable heartbreak. An 11-year-old girl has died, and this year's flu season is far from over.
Savannah Hyden's teachers describe her as brilliant. The Knox Doss Middle School student who excelled in the classroom and in band was loved by so many.
"She was so happy," said the girl's great-aunt Tricia Adams. "And she was a daddy's girl. Her daddy was her world."
The 11-year-old contracted the flu over winter break and then died Wednesday in the hospital.
The flu has claimed at least 11 lives this season in Tennessee, including two children.
Children and young adults are extra susceptible to the H1N1 strain, and with school just now back in session, there's extra cause for concern.
"Because kids are close together, they often forget to wash their hands. They forget to use a tissue or sleeve when they are coughing and sneezing," said Dr. Kelly Moore, director of the Tennessee Immunization Program.
Certain people showing flu symptoms should go to the doctor immediately: babies, the elderly, those with chronic illnesses and women who are pregnant.
"They can get very seriously ill from this particular strain, and they can die from this strain," Moore said.
If you are not pregnant and don't have underlying health problems like heart disease, diabetes or lung disease, doctors say to use your instincts.
"It's important for people to go get help when they feel like something is seriously wrong," Moore said.
Tennessee has a high number of flu cases so far this season, and doctors expect an even bigger increase over the next few weeks.
Now, Savannah's family members urge you to do what you can to prevent it.
"Vaccinate your child. Vaccinate your family. Please go to the doctor," Adams said.
Savannah did not get her flu shot. Family members say it was the H1N1 strain that killed her.
And doctors advise that even if you've had the flu already, you should still get your flu shot. Just because you've contracted one strain, they say, doesn't mean you won't contract another.
A celebration of Savannah's life will be held at The Lighthouse Event Center, 133 Sanders Ferry Road, Hendersonville, on Saturday, Jan. 11. The family will receive visitors from 1 to 3 p.m. with a short tribute to Savannah held at 2:30 p.m., and each guest may release a balloon with a message in her honor.
A fund has been established in Savannah's memory. Donations can be made to any Regions Bank location to the Savannah Memorial Fund or online at either http://www.gofundme.com/65dv4k or http://www.youcaring.com/lilangelsavannahhyden.

More than 50,000 people are expected to pack Five Points Saturday for the 31st annual St. Pat's in Five Points celebration.
Organizers have stepped up security for this year's event, but they say it's not in response to recent violent crimes in the area.
February put all eyes on the entertainment district as Columbia Police responded to violent crime two weekends in a row.
Police Chief Randy Scott responded to the crimes by increasing patrols and maintaining the area was still safe.
"Incidents are going to happen," said Scott. "It's a alcohol district. Things happen at night."
Now in anticipation of Five Points' largest annual event, organizers say safety has always been a top priority.
"We try not to be reactive, but rather pro-active, and the types of issues that we've had in Five Points recently are not the types of issues that would happen during this festival," said Merritt McHaffie, executive director of the Five Points Association.
McHaffie says last year, nearly 50,000 people turned out for the festival and they expect even more this year.
"We spend about $35,000 each year on the police," said McHaffie. "In addition to the CPD, officers, we also hire T-shirt security as well."
"We will have more officers than ever working this festival because it's grown," said CPD officer Jim Crawford.
In addition to more patrols, organizers say you'll see changes to the way you enter the festival, and expect gate guards to check your bags.
Organizers say there's a festival brochure for the first time ever. In addition to having a map and festival information, McHaffie says there's also a safety plan in case things go awry.
But McHaffie says she doesn't anticipate needing that and adds it should be seen as a precaution.
"When you're talking about our festival from 9 to 6 p.m., and even into the evening of the day of the festival, it really is the safest place in the city," said McHaffie.
Columbia Police agree and say festival-goers should feel safe.
"The few incidents we have had, they've been noteworthy obviously and we've addressed those head-on, and there's no question that the level of protection we have here. I would bring my family down, and I plan to do so," said Crawford.
Columbia Police crime data shows the total number of violent crimes has actually dropped in Five Points from 2010 to 2011, and then just slightly increased in 2012.
As of late February of this year, Columbia Police reported four violent crimes, which is just on par or just slightly below the 2011 and 2012 data.
But festival organizers say they have never had a major incident at the festival and they'd like to see it stay that way.

Bryant has undergone surgery on his broken left index finger after postponing the procedure for the final three games of the season. The team reported Tuesday's successful surgery on its website. Bryant decided to play through the injury because the Cowboys were still in playoff contention. They lost the finale at Washington 28-18 with the NFC East title at stake.||||||| Bryant broke the finger in the fourth quarter at Cincinnati on Dec. 9 and caught a game-changing touchdown pass after the injury. He had a career-high 224 yards two weeks later against New Orleans. A franchise record-tying touchdown streak of seven games ended against the Redskins. The third-year pro finished with career highs of 1,382 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Bryant showed no ill-effects from a broken finger, finishing with nine catches for a career-high 224 yards and two touchdowns in the Cowboys' loss to New Orleans on Sunday.||||||| Bryant has been one of the top fantasy receivers down the stretch, with 10 touchdowns in his last seven games.
Bryant says he will play with a broken finger Sunday against Pittsburgh. The Dallas Cowboys receiver was listed as a limited participant in practice Thursday, an upgrade from a day earlier, when he sat out. Dallas coach Jason Garrett said he caught some passes in practice after saying before the workout he didn't think Bryant would. Bryant said in the locker room after practice that the "only thing y'all need to know is I'm playing."||||||| The third-year pro fractured his left index finger in last weekend's 20-19 win at Cincinnati. He caught a touchdown after getting injured. Bryant practiced with a padded white glove that had the tip of the finger exposed.
Bryant is seeing another doctor to help determine if he can play the rest of this season with a broken finger on his left hand.||||||| Coach Jason Garrett said Wednesday that the team and the player are getting more medical information to figure out the best way to handle the situation. He says Bryant's health now and going forward are "huge factors" in making a decision. Bryant broke his finger in Sunday's victory at Cincinnati, though he returned a few plays after the injury and caught a touchdown.
Bryant hauled in six receptions for 98 yards and two more TDs in Sunday night's 38-33 win over Philadelphia.||||||| Bryant now has six scores over his last four games and is finally living up to his enormous potential. He should be considered a top-10 option down the stretch.

Published in slightly different form in Lumpkin Law Revue,
5 (February 1985).
Author: Donald E. Wilkes, Jr., Professor of Law, University of Georgia School of Law.
These days we have become so appalled at apparently senseless, random political killings and violence that we tend to forget that there is a difference between terrorism-the intentional killing or injury of innocent persons to achieve political ends-and tyrannicide, i.e., the killing or attempted killing of a tyrant. Only last July in West Germany there were official public ceremonies honoring the memory of the brave men who died when they tried to kill Hitler--the ultimate tyrant--with a bomb on July 20, 1944. Moreover, tyrannicide is intrinsically interesting, involving as it does political assassination or attempted assassination. Therefore, I propose to briefly describe two of the more interesting assassination-tyrannicides of this century: the assassinations of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 and of Reinhard Heydrich in 1942.
The assassination of Franz Ferdinand, heir apparent to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, occurred in Sarajevo in what is now Yugoslavia and was then Bosnia (a province of the Empire annexed in 1908), on June 28, 1914. Sunday, June 28, 1914 was the fourteenth anniversary of the contract of marriage between Franz Ferdinand and his wife, the beautiful Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg. (The marriage had taken place on July 1, 1900.) June 28, St. Vitus's Day, was also a sacred day to the Slavic peoples, who called it Vidov Dan, and so it is not surprising that restive elements of the local populace decided the day would be an appropriate one to slay a man they perceived as a tyrant. Exactly 525 years earlier, on June 28, 1389, the Slavs had suffered a catastrophic military defeat in a battle with the Turks at Kossovo.
Franz Ferdinand and his wife arrived by train at the railway station in Sarajevo around 10:00 a.m. It was a beautiful, warm summer day and after welcoming ceremonies they entered the automobile that was to take them to the Town Hall for a reception. They sat in the back seat of the open touring car, the Archduke on the left side, his wife on the right; sitting opposite and facing them in a jump seat was the military governor of the province. A chauffeur and one bodyguard were in the front seat. They left in a motorcade and began driving down the Appel Quay, a long, wide road running parallel to the Miljacka River. When the car reached a point about a half mile from the Town Hall, one of several young men, members of a group called Young Bosnia who had been armed and trained in Serbia and who intended to attack the Archduke with pistols and bombs, fired a pistol shot at the Archduke, which missed, whereupon another of the young men threw a fizzling bomb at the Archduke's automobile. Franz Ferdinand warded it off with his arm; the bomb rolled backwards and then exploded under the next car in the motorcade, slightly wounding several military officers in that car. The Archduke was unhurt; his wife suffered several minor scratches on her neck from exploding bomb fragments. Franz Ferdinand ordered the chauffeur to stop; saw that the wounded were tended to; and then ordered that the trip be resumed. Stopping his car and exposing himself to possible further attack was unbelievably unwise and hazardous.
At the Town Hall Franz Ferdinand and his entourage debated what to do now; and apparently because they lost their heads in the excitement it was decided to drive back along the Appel Quay (!) so that the wounded officers could be visited at the hospital. A proposal by one of the Archduke's military adjutants that the streets of Sarajevo be lined with troops and that the Archduke not depart the Town Hall until the new security precautions had been taken was considered but rejected. The decision to drive back along the same road where the bomb attempt had just occurred was an indescribably foolish decision. Franz Ferdinand wanted his wife to leave under armed guard by another route, but she insisted on accompanying him, and he relented. No new or added security precautions had been taken. No thought was given to closing the Archduke's open car or increasing the number of bodyguards in the car. One of the most famous photographs of the 20th century shows the shaken couple descending the steps of the Town Hall and approaching the fatal car. With the bodyguard now standing on the left running board near the Archduke, the automobile containing the royal couple began driving down the Appel Quay toward the site of the previous bomb attack. The bodyguard had taken his position on the left side of the car because the bomb had been thrown from that side when the motorcade was on its way to the Town Hall. The car had driven only a few hundred yards when the chauffeur, who was supposed to drive straight ahead, proceeded (whether intentionally, negligently or accidently is unknown) to turn onto an adjoining street. The chauffeur, told by the shouting military governor that he had made a wrong turn, then stopped the car, put it into reverse, and began slowly to back up. He had stopped the automobile immediately in front of another Young Bosnia assassin, this one standing on the sidewalk on the right side of the car and armed with a small Browning semiautomatic pistol. The assassin, a 19-year old Bosnian schoolboy named Gavrilo Princip, stepped forward and fired two shots from a distance of about 5 feet while the car was stopped. The lone bodyguard constituted no obstacle, since he was on the left side of the automobile. The first bullet went through the car door and struck the Duchess of Hohenberg in the side, severing a stomach artery; the second bullet struck Franz Ferdinand in the neck, severing an artery.
"As the car quickly reversed," the bodyguard later recounted, "a thin stream of blood spurted out of His Imperial Highness's mouth onto my right cheek. With one hand I got out my handkerchief to wipe the blood from the Archduke's face, and as I did so Her Highness called out [to the Archduke], 'In God's name what has happened to you?' Then she collapsed, her face between the Archduke's knees. I had no idea that she was hit and thought she had fainted with fear. His Imperial Highness then said, 'Sopherl! Sopherl! Don't die! Live for our children!' I took hold of the collar of his tunic in order to prevent his head sinking forward and asked him, 'Is Your Imperial Highness in great pain?' He answered distinctly, 'It is nothing.' Then he turned his face a little to one side and said six or seven times, more faintly as he began to lose consciousness, 'It is nothing.' There was a very brief pause, then the bleeding made him choke violently."
Within five minutes of being shot the Archduke and his wife were dead. The two lethal gunshots had been fired less than hour after the bomb attempt.
Today in the crypt of an Austrian castle the bodies of the slain Archduke and his wife lie side by side in two marble sarcophagi mounted on a base stone bearing a Latin inscription: "Iuncti Coniugio Fatis Iunguntur Eisdem" (joined in marriage, united by the same fate).
To this day no one knows exactly how many assassins there were in Sarajevo that day. Princip, now a national hero in Yugoslavia, and fifteen accomplices (including the bomb thrower) were arrested and convicted; some were executed and others imprisoned. (At his trial Princip claimed he regretted shooting the Archduke's wife, asserting that he had intended to shoot the military governor in the jump seat.) Princip died in prison of tuberculosis in 1918.
It has now been conclusively proved that the assassination was funded by and undertaken in behalf of a secret Serbian society known as "Union or Death" and popularly called "The Black Hand," which provided the bombs and pistols. The mastermind of the plot to kill Franz Ferdinand was a mysterious, restless individual nicknamed Apis (Bee), the chief of Serbian military intelligence.
As a direct result of the assassination, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia on July 28, 1914, and this precipitated other declarations of war and hence World War I. Thus the Sarajevo assassination was perhaps the most influential in modern history. There is a military history museum in Vienna (which I have visited) where you can see the death car as well as the blood-stained blue jacket Franz Ferdinand was wearing. You can even put a finger through the bullet hole in the door, and through the two holes in the rear of the car made by shrapnel from the exploding bomb fended off by the Archduke!
It may be disputed whether Franz Ferdinand really was a tyrant, but there can be no dispute that Reinhard Heydrich was one, or that he deserved to die. Heydrich was one of the bloodiest villains ever to profane the earth with his existence. He was an Obergruppenfuhrer of the Nazi SS, one of the most criminal and murderous organizations in history. He was the head of the Reich Central Security Office (RSHA), which included the Nazi Secret Police (the GESTAPO), the Nazi Criminal Police (the KRIPO), and the Nazi Security Service (SD), the Nazi spy organization. He was the immediate subordinate of the equally infamous SS chief, Heinrich Himmler. Himmler and Heydrich were the foremost architects of the Final Solution, the physical extermination of the Jews and other so-called "inferior" races.
In 1942 Heydrich was the Nazi ruler in charge of occupied Czechoslovakia, then called the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Overconfident, he had adopted the practice, unlike most high-ranking Nazi butchers, of driving around in an open car with no protection except a bodyguard-driver. On the bright spring morning of Wednesday, May 27, 1942, shortly after 10 o'clock, he was on his way from his palatial residence outside of Prague to military headquarters in downtown Prague. From there he was going to head for the airport and take up a new assignment in France. As his open limousine approached a downhill hairpin curve in a Prague suburb and was forced to slow down, two assassins were waiting. Both were Czechs and part of a special operations unit, trained in England, who had been parachuted into Czechoslovakia the previous December. Their assignment: kill Heydrich. One of the assassins leaped in front of Heydrich's car and brandished a submachine gun, which, however, jammed. Instead of telling his driver to speed ahead, Heydrich committed the fatal error of ordering him to stop. As Heydrich and his driver in their stationary limousine pulled out pistols to defend themselves, the other assassin threw a grenade from the rear, which exploded near the right rear wheel of the car. Probably other assassins were in the vicinity. Pistol shots were exchanged, and the assassins escaped. Heydrich did not at first appear to be seriously hurt, but on June 4 he died painfully of his wounds.
Adolf Hitler awarded Heydrich a lavish state funeral and personally delivered a eulogy which concluded: "[Heydrich] was one of the greatest of all Nazis (!).... He was the man with the iron heart (!)."
On June 18 the assassins and other members of their team, hiding in a Prague church, were surrounded by 740 SS troops. Every one of the trapped men was killed or committed suicide to avoid capture. They are all national heroes now in Czechoslovakia. In reprisal for Heydrich's death, the Nazis killed thousands of Czechs, and wiped out the people and village of Lidice.
It was recently disclosed why Heydrich died of wounds that appeared minor at the time. The grenades carried by the assassination team had been specially prepared by Dr. Paul Fildes, a British scientist specializing in germ warfare and working for the British intelligence services. In addition to explosives, the grenades had been filled with deadly botulism toxins. When the grenade thrown at the car exploded, it drove poisons deep into Heydrich's body, and these poisons killed him when they multiplied and spread. The death of Heydrich was perhaps the most triumphant special operation action of British intelligence in World War II. And the secret of their triumph was withheld for nearly 30 years!

One Nation: Recapturing
America's Spirit of Unity
In 2011, CSPC partnered with the National Cathedral and Mount Vernon to produce a short film to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of the September 11th attacks. This video looks at the impact of the attacks on our sense of national unity and the founding tradition of religious tolerance that has defined the United States throughout its history. It also explores how this tradition was typified by the memorial service held on September 14th at the National Cathedral, but how recent years have seen a breakdown in Americans' commitment to religious pluralism, especially in the case of American Muslims.
The video includes interviews with CSPC President Ambassador David Abshire; Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, who presided with clergy of other faiths during the September 14th service; Senator Joseph Lieberman (I-CT), former Secretary of Veterans Affairs Togo West, who led the inquiry into the tragic Ft. Hood shootings; and several other religious, political and cultural leaders
CSPC hopes that as Americans reflect on the tragic events of September 11, 2001, they remember the unity that was forged in the wake of the tragedy and how it, not the divisions that have arisen since, best reflects the spirit America's founders had in mind.

Fire marshals are investigating a suspicious fire on Grand Center Road in Chickamauga.
Officials with Walker County EMS say they arrived on the scene around 12:39 a.m. Friday.
The home was 100 percent involved when they got there and was a total loss.
The family was on vacation when the fire started. Neighbors told officials they noticed several vehicles coming and going throughout the day and were suspicious.
Fire officials believe the fire started in the lower levels of the house and spread upstairs.
Because of how rapidly the flames spread, the fire is being deemed suspicious. Fire marshals are investigating.
No one was injured.

Gardenhire says Young rumors his fault
Twins manager backs off comments that suggested trade
LAS VEGAS -- Twins manager Ron Gardenhire has heard all the rumors this week about his team possibly trading outfielder Delmon Young. And frankly, he feels partly responsible for them.In his Winter Meetings media session at the Bellagio on Tuesday, Gardenhire said that he "got things stirred up" last week when he told a Fargo, N.D., newspaper that he envisioned his starting outfield for 2009 to be Denard Span, Carlos Gomez and Michael Cuddyer. In his comments, he said that all three of those players needed playing time every day and it seemed to indicate that there was no room for Young.

This is a question I have been thinking about since he made that comment on Monday Night Football during the 1st Pre-Season game. For those of you that don't know, not only did he claim DeAngelo Williams as one of the best RB's in the league, but he also gave him the title of the best RB in the NFL, period.
Of course, the other two commentators laughed at this. One of them made a comment if he had ever heard of Adrian Peterson. But I sat down at my couch, thinking about this for a moment. Whom is truly the best back in the NFL? You can't just take one look at a player and think to yourself, "This is the better guy." There are so many factors you have to consider about a back before you make your decision. Let's take a look at a few of them, just off the top of my head.
Offensive line
The Offensive line is the most important tool of a good running attack. Without one, running backs are victim to penetration and can't often achieve the greatness they truly desire. One good hit in the backfield is often enough to stop a good drive dead in its tracks, especially if your QB is only average or sub par. In order for a running back to be truly great, they have to be able to depend on the guys blocking in front of them.
Williams: In 2008 our entire offense had almost a complete revamp. This could be mostly seen on the offensive line. We got rid of Pro-Bowl LG Mike Wahle for Travelle Wharton, and C Justin Hartwig for Ryan Kalil. We picked up Kedrick Vincent and started him at RG while Jeremy Bridges became a backup, and Jeff Otah started at RT as a rookie so that Jordan Gross could move back to LT and have a Pro-Bowl year. They formed a line stronger than anything Carolina has ever had before, keeping Jake Delhomme safe with only 20 sacks for the season, the cleanest jersey he has ever had in his career.
Peterson: In 2008, the Vikings maintained the same line they had the year before, but had the star running back working behind it to give them the production they need to make the offense work. Steve Hutchinson is an absolute beast of a guard, once again having another Pro-Bowl year even though he's beginning to get up there in years. However, while the Vikings O-Line are great at run blocking, they have a hard time protecting the QB. Jackson and Gus both combined for 43 sacks during the regular season.
Conclusion: While both teams have some of the best run blockers in the NFL, the Panthers are the more complete O-Line. As for the running game, they're on par with each other. Both have a Pro-Bowler and both give their RB the best chance to make a play.
Strength of Schedule
Of course, this one should be pretty self explanatory. If you face teams like the Lions every other game, of course it will be easier for your RB to run the football. The linemen will get better blocks against weaker quality D-Linement, the linebackers aren't as quick to plug up the seams, and the safeties and corners are more prone to fall on their face in an vain attempt to tackle you.
Adrian Peterson: In terms of wins and losses, the Vikings had the 5th strongest schedule in the NFL. However, they have the Lions in their division who has an epically bad defense, maybe the worst in the history of the NFL. Regardless, they had a much tougher schedule than the Panthers, and Peterson had 100 yard games against such strong defensive teams teams as the Bears, Giants, and the Packers.
Deangelo Williams: The Panthers had by far the easier schedule. But Williams also had great games against strong defensive teams tough against the run such as the Giants, Raiders, and Tampa Bay.
Conclusion: Though there is a large difference in the schedule, both RB's proved that they can have great games against strong and capable run defenses. It will be interesting to see how the Panthers and Vikings react when the roles switch during the regular season. The Vikings will have the easier schedule, while the Panthers will have the 2nd toughest in the NFL AND be without Jonathan Stewart. ((If the feeling in my gut doesn't lie.))
Number of Carries/Yards Per Carry
This one is fairly simple. In order to be a great running back and to be recognized by all, you have to have the ball in your hands. What fans really want to see is a strong dose of smash mouth football on Sunday. Due to the wear and tear on star RB's over the years, and the desire for a versatility of skills wanted at the position, you're seeing more and more RB committee's beginning to pop up here and there throughout the league in order to keep fresh guys on the field from year to year. I believe that this was an important facet in Carolina's running game, where Double Trouble eclipsed Smash and Dash to run for almost 2500 yards for the season. It is also an important factor to consider when you judge the quality of a good running back.
Williams: Williams had 273 carries for a total of 1515 yards ((5.5 per attempt)). That's enough to place him 3rd on the list for yards gained for the season. The only two people ahead of him are Adrian Peterson and Michael Turner. Below him on the list are several other 'cowbell' backs such as Matt Forte, Clinton Portis, and Thomas Jones who receive the ball 25-30 times a game and have more of a chance to add yards to their total then Williams does in Carolina.
Peterson: Adrian Peterson ran the ball 363 times for 1,760 yards ((4.8 per attempt)) to lead the NFL in rushing yards. He falls under the category of 'cowbell' back because he does not have anyone after him in the lineup to challenge him for carries.
Conclusion: There are two conclusions you can draw from this, two arguments which make good points on either sides. The first conclusion you can make is that Deangelo Williams is the better back, because he did not get the ball the same number of times that Adrian Peterson did, and therefore did not have a chance to show off his superior ability. If you do the math, give Williams 90 more carries running at 5.5 per attempt and he runs for over 2000 yards for the season. But then you have to consider that you don't have an extra guy to keep Williams fresh as a cowbell back, so that number will probably drop.
Argument 2: On the flip side of the coin, you can make the argument that the only reason his yards per attempt was so high was because of the committee in the first place. And it's true, committee's usually have a back with an extraordinary YPA. Take Giant's Derrick Ward for example. Behind big man Brandon Jacobs, he ran the ball 182 times for 1,082 yards ((5.6)). Or take Darren Sproles from San Diego ((5.4)). Either argument you go with, it's a chin scratcher for sure.
Feel free to add onto this discussion as you see fit. I will not let you guys know my personal opinion on this. I made this article to open debate between the two, as normal arguments usually go 'Haha! Peterson is better!" and then get left at that. The main number you want to circle is 273 and 363, which are Williams and Peterson's carries respectively. If Deangelo Williams was given those extra 90 carries, would he have led the NFL in rushing yards? Would he have passed Peterson as the #1 running back in the NFL and all fantasy drafts?
These are all things you have to consider.

A youngster viewing a puppet show will sit happily entranced and seemingly captivated by the animated, talking marionettes, believing that they are very much alive and real. One day however, when the child has grown a little older and sees the strings attached to the puppets for the very first time, the illusion is forever shattered. From that moment onwards, the child will always know that hidden hands control these lifelike figures. For the youngster, the extent of the puppet-theater is a small box with curtains, where the strings rise up to the loving hands of parents and friendly neighbors. But for the adult, the "Virtual Puppet-theater" is the controlled space between their ears. This is the space in which their whole belief-system can be manipulated, held entranced and fascinated by the puppet-masters, directing cleverly crafted plays, dramas and crisis.

Residential Loan Program Process Evaluation
PREPARED BY: ECONorthwest
In 2003, the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) developed and implemented the Residential Loan Program (RLP) to secure a stable source for residential energy conservation loans. Through this program, vendors promote high efficiency equipment options to their consumers by offering loans for qualifying equipment at reduced rates. To date these loans have been used primarily to finance window and HVAC equipment installations.
In May 2005, BPA contracted with ECONorthwest to conduct a process evaluation of the RLP to determine how well the program is performing. Major tasks for this evaluation include:
The purpose of the data collection effort was to gather information on how well the program was being implemented and to assess coordination across the different entities involved with the RLP. In addition, these interviews were used to support evaluation goals of identifying program successes as well as market barriers, to elicit ideas on how these barriers should be addressed, and finally to make recommendations to improve the program.
It is important to note that this report presents the results of a process evaluation where opinions are solicited from a wide range of people having different roles in the RLP. The purpose of this report is to report these perceptions and opinions as accurately as possible as they were provided to the evaluation team. Because of the different roles and perspectives on the program, opinions and perceptions of the RLP will sometimes differ across the groups interviewed. The final conclusions and recommendations are developed as part of the evaluation and are derived from these different perspectives.

It was the perfect friendship. We would run and play together; he was by my side everywhere I went. He always sensed when something was wrong, and was there to comfort me. Gambit was my best friend through my most difficult year in high school. And even though I could never have made it through that tough year without him, when it was over, I had to give him up.
This very special friendship began when I joined 4-H and became part of its Seeing Eye puppy project. I attended meetings and learned training techniques, but each month I found it harder to be there without a pup of my own and watch everyone else try new techniques with their pups.
Finally the long-awaited day arrived. Gambit was only seven weeks old, and it was love at first sight. He was the cutest pup I had ever set eyes on. I couldn't wait to spend every minute training and playing with him.
Gambit and I immediately became best friends. He always wanted to be with me, and even slept at the foot of my bed. My job was to teach basic commands, socialize him, and give him as much affection as possible during the fragile puppy months. Gambit's training was virtually effortless; he learned commands very quickly and was always obedient.
Gambit had been in my home for five months when my junior year began. This was an extremely challenging year for me, and it was great to come home to his bright eyes and wagging tail. Every day I would talk to Gambit about everything on my mind. I knew he wouldn't judge or reveal my secrets. Gambit and I had some of the best conversations, and all he did was listen.
This July I received the call that it was time for Gambit to return to complete his formal training. My heart sank. I had known he would have to go, but it seemed too soon. It felt like my best friend was moving away. I didn't know what to do.
My time with Gambit came to an end on July 28, 2003 when my best friend and faithful companion moved on to a higher calling. It is clear now that he was destined for this all along, and he will help a blind person be independent.
Gambit taught me that there will be things in life that you may love but have to give up. All you can do is remember what they taught you, and it will make you a stronger person.

A number of publications on guarantee system topics can be found in our Library.
IFOAM's work to promote harmonization and equivalence has mostly been conducted through a long-term partnership with FAO and UNCTAD, implemented first under the ITF Project and subsequently under the GOMA project (Global Organic Market Access). IFOAM also comments on other organic standards and regulations, with a view to promote harmonization, equivalence and improvement of standards.
