Feeling the mist from the huge waterfall on my face was so refreshing and everytime we passed a pool of water it was so tempting to jump in. Definutely needed to clear the mind, ready for the next stage of life.

If you had read at all further, you would have noticed that the article is about pesticide exposure. Climate change was mentioned as one of many hypotheses about why the bees are dying.
Maybe the worker bees were told to buzz off after the queen bee outsourced their jobs to China?
This is a very serious problem here, in California. Without the bees our agriculture would suffer very badly generally; and some segments of said agriculture would suffer catastrophically (almonds, fruits, honey, etc.). We have been keenly, and painfully, aware of this problem for many years now. This is more serious than the average person realizes.
Maybe the Bees are Raptured?
..evidence would be empty pairs of Bee underwear about the hive.
You mean chemicals that are designed to kill insects could affect bees? I am shocked!
Yes, blindedbyscience, a mobile phone will disturb bees if it is placed in a beehive, but there is no conclusive proof that cell phones or electronmagnetic fields are causing bee losses. If this were the case, then bee hives would not be thriving in cities away from agricultural pesticides.
And Rosenkranz, you are right --- the bee die off in France did not decrease significantly after imidacloprid was suspended because they used fipronil as an alternative pesticide. Like imidacloprid and the other systemic neonicotinoids, fipronil is extremely toxic to bees. So the French traded one bee poison for another. Why didn't you mention Italy where they did see a significant decrease in bee declines after they suspended many of the uses of the neonicotinoids plus fipronil.
Spectacularj1 and Ros: You are also right that insecticides kill insects, but what you are not telling people is that some insecticides are much more toxic to bees and more persistent in the environment than others. The neonicotinoids, fipronil, emamectin benzoate, and spinosad are the most toxic insecticides to bees and will kill bees at nanogram concentrations. These insecticides can be as much as 10,000 times more toxic to bees than other insecticides and they are extremely persistent in the environment with half-lives in soil up to 19 years.
The problem is that our regulators at EPA and USDA do not have enough acceptable data to determine a direct linkage between bee colony losses and exposure to a specific chemical since much of the bee data, particularly the chronic data, is flawed. As long as there is no sound, conclusive, reproducible data to make a determination, industry can keep selling their chemicals. Seems backwards, doesn't it? But that is the way we protect industry rather than the environment.
Julian: Yes in the beginning people thought seed treated pesticides would be better than spray applications because spray drift would be decreased although many times growers use both seed treatment and spray applications. But now after two decades, people are waking up and realizing that the systemic pesticides in the seeds can move from the seeds into the plant tissues, including the pollen, nectar, and fruit. Bees can easily be exposed to these pesticides when they drink the nectar and eat the pollen. What is also unfortunate is that seed treated pesticides contradict all the Integrated Pest Management programs that EPA and USDA have recommended for years to growers. Seed-treated pesticides are prophylactic and are saturating the environment whether they are needed or not. Wouldn't it be wiser to determine if there is a pest before applying the pesticide so you don't overload the environment with toxic chemicals and of course increase the chances of resistance?
No matter what the cause may be, the sad fact is that agribusiness firms have bought off academics. As with GMOs, studies that are NOT funded by huge corporations happen to be few and far between. We can, and should, keep an open mind about causation here. But as long as those who do academic research are dependent on corporate sponsors for their funding, we have to ask whether the truth is being told. Surely Milton Friedman would've recognized a "positive externality" from the results of unbiased academic studies. What are the costs of being mislead?
Who did this research? A US Gov't-funded lab. Just the sort of thing that the GOP would rather see shut down. Because they're immune to the interests of private industry.
Libertarians, please take note. Who will support the truth, when all government funding of science is eliminated?
The French Agricultural Ministry suspended the use of imidacloprid on maize and sunflowers. Despite this suspension in 1999, Bee die off did not decline and is still a major problem in France.
Lazy liberal union worker bees caught in a stalemate with the heartless corporatist queen bee elite. Many bees lamented over the past when the hive wasn't so partisan.
At least until they all died.
If imidacloprid or some other pesticide turns out to be the cause, I would hope that those producers are held fully accountable for this damage. And considering the value of bees, one wonders if we have poor fundamentals underlying our business models.
from what I know dutch industrial tomato producers not only went on to produce taste showing tomatoes but also gave up pesticides in their greenhouses. They say that they do it because bees do not like pesticides and their use is counterproductive. It means also they i.e. dutch farmers are adaptable creatures as humans always were. I guess US is waiting for a new 'monsanto' bee to increase productivity and deliver bigger profits etc.
"Soon to be whistleblower who worked for Monsanto will be releasing documents detailing how Monsanto planned to kill off bee colonies in order to introduce a "new and improved" species of bee that will only pollinate Monsanto crops."
The chapter in the "greatest show on earth" on orchids may provide some insight to how this may be possible.
Interesting article but misses the point that Jeff Pettis' studies were carried out in the laboratory. When he came to the UK last year, he was interviewed by the media and in a meeting in the UK Parliament. In both cases, including on Channel 4 News he freely admitted that he had NOT been able to repeat his work in the field (http://www.appg-agscience.org.uk/linkedfiles/APPGSTA%20-%20Bee%20Health%... ) . Furthermore, when asked, he believed that the use of seed treatments was actually a more bee-friendly way of using an insecticide in comparison to spraying insecticides. And when it comes down to it, farmers do need to control pests that would otherwise significantly compromise our food security…
All these are indications that Nature is on its way of right-sizing the human population on this planet whose sole objective is to exploit limited resources and cause irreparable damage to mother earth.
Of course this is also an opportunity for some mad scientists to create solar/wind power enabled/GPS enabled nano-bees who are capable of pollinating the crops!! and each one will have pollination KPI's!!..further exploitation of limited resources is certainly guaranteed.
ahh yes, climate change is killing the bees. I should've known. any and every catastrophe or problem can be blamed on climate change. why read.
This has happened before - altho the two cases I'm specificly aware of involve cutting trees and lowering the water table, resulting in less food being grown, which equals, uh, die-off of excess population.
(For Tiawanaku, try reading VALLEY OF THE SPIRITS by Alan Kolata; you can skip the first chapter and come back to it if it's hard to get started. For Nazca, google Nazca Tree to find out what happened when they decided they needed more living space and the huarango / warango trees were in the way.)
CAHOKIA by Timothy R. Pauketat also shows a collapse caused by trying to get more out of the land than could be sustained (the timing makes me think this may be where some people fled after drought - or lowered water table - compromised the ability to grow enough food in the Yucatan area).
The biggest diffference is, in the past it was just a small area - now it's worldwide.
I'm not going to say one way or another whether WiFi or electromagnetic fields cause problems in the bees. What I will say is this, let's eliminate everything else and see where we end up. Eliminate pesticides/insecticides/fungicides and go back to growing stuff organically - I don't want any of that shit in my food/water/air and I don't want it in the environment in which we live, anywhere. Then let's diversify and stop this mono-culture growing (term??) where we whip out nature's diversity and put in one type of plant for acres and acres and acres. Let's provide lots of diversity in flowers and pollen and plans and no harmful toxin and substances that we spew around our planet. Then, at that point, let's see where we are with the bees. If it's still a problem, at least we've eliminated other potential causes and theories like yours will be the obvious ones to investigate further. At this point for me it's much more important that we eliminate all the crap substances from the planet and eliminate this agribusiness/mono-culture growing.
Poppycock - writing as a beekeeper moving a hive two metres does no such thing.
"Today, unprecedented exposure levels and intensities of magnetic, electric, and electromagnetic fields from numerous wireless technologies interfere with the natural information system and functioning of humans, animals, and plants. The consequences of this development, which have already been predicted by critics for many decades, cannot be ignored anymore. Bees and other insects vanish; birds avoid certain places and become disorientated at others. Humans suffer from functional impairments and diseases. And insofar as the latter are hereditary, they will be passed on to next generations as pre-existing defects".
Prof. K. Hecht, Dr. M. Kern, Prof. K. Richter, Dr. H. Scheiner, "Effects of
Wireless Communication Technologies" 2009
You can't completely verify this. The reason bees can't find there hive even though it is only a few meters away is because of visual clues and a lack of smell. If you move the scenary as well the bees won't get lost. Your rely lacks logic and the fact that bees can't find their hive a few meters away is not proof that CCD is caused by mobile phones and wi-fi signals nor is it proof that Scientist are ignorant or in the dark ages. If bees were directed by a homing signal by the level you imply then they would forage at night and they would not be fooled by lightbulbs at night. I'm thinking of writng a book called Blinded by Emotions.

On the ground at the mobility demonstration track the public were able to watch armoured vehicle and truck displays. Loud speakers positioned throughout the show provide commentary of the displays and planes takeing off and landing.
In 2014 there will be a number of flying displays put on as well as huge exhibition halls where you can marvel at the latest and greatest in the world of flight. As well as air displays there will also be dynamic vehicle demonstrations and many static displays. in 2012 there were over 90 different aircraft on the ground for the public to wander around. The whole family will enjoy this day out with joy rides and an entertainment park put on for the kids to play on while the adults watch to the skies.
The Vehicle Mobility Demonstration track has 8 challenging obstacles including water features designed to put a variety of military vehicles through their paces.
On the public days the gates open at 06h00 for early entry with the first flying displays starting about 07h30 lasting through to about 17h00 weather permitting. As well as the most modern planes available there will also be vintage planes and parachute jumps. Tickets prices for 2014 are yet to be announced but will be in the general region of R50 for adults and R40 for children under 12. Toddlers get in free normally.
Tickets for the AirShow at Waterkloof will go on sale on the Computicket website.
The actual programme for the airshow it self is not released until the day due to operational requirements which are outside the control of the organisers of the AAD. Here is a list of the aircraft that took part in the Airshow in 2012
There will be lots of food stalls and a beer garden as well picnic areas. Pets are not permitted.
There is plenty of parking available at the show and parking is free.

Onalaska, Wisconsin (WXOW) ----- Drowning is the 3rd leading cause of death in the U.S. The chances of surviving in winter diminish only a few minutes after someone goes through the ice.
"We're gonna have the guys go down to the water, practice and basically refamiliarize themselves with the gear." Captain Rick Molzahn says the purpose is to practice for the real thing.
EMS Coordinator, Rick Conway says it's good training to have because you never know when you'll need it. "Believe it or not we don't have too many of these but we do have them and when we do we're ready."
Like fighting fires, response time is everything. But instead of using a hose, their tool is a rope, a boat, ice picks and a Mustang suit. The suit is bulky and hard to get around in but enables fire fighters to battle the cold when out on a rescue.
The Onalaska Fire Department warns people that going out on the ice alone is unsafe and never try to rescue someone yourself. Instead call 911 immediately.

text: Written initially in French, later translating it into English, "Molloyis the first book in Dublin-born Samuel Beckett's trilogy. It was published shortly after WWII and marked a new, mature writing style, which was to dominate the remainder of his working life. "Molloyis less a novel than a set of two monologues narrated by Molloy and his pursuer Moran. In the first section, while consumed with the search of his mother, Molloy lost everything. Moran takes over in the second half, describing his hunt for Molloy. Within this simple outline, spoken in the first person, is a remarkable story, raising the questions of being and aloneness that marks so much of Beckett's work, but is richly comic as well. Beautifully written, it is one of the masterpieces of Irish literature. This is the world premiere recording. Written by a master dramatist, it is ideally suited to the audiobook medium.

Pay Now or Suffer Later: South America's Currency Dilemma
By Marcelo Ballvé, , Briefing
South America's history throughout the 1980s and 1990s is littered with the names of now-defunct currencies, such as the Argentine austral and the Brazilian cruzeiro. Now, an old vulnerability is re-emerging as an economic and political Achilles' heel for several South American governments: exchange rates.
Some are clamping down on citizens' purchases of U.S. dollars, in attempts to prop up local money and stem capital flight. Others are promoting central bank dollar purchases and sales, or deploying derivatives contracts, to manage volatile exchange rates. ...

It's possible for a team near the top of the table after five fixtures to fall off the map entirely, but in the case of Tigre, they will probably be near the top of the table until the end of the Clausura. They're desperate to get themselves out of the bottom two and into the relegation playoff places, and they're playing well enough that their top position doesn't look like a fluke. They're already more than 25 percent of the way to a title.
They face Estudiantes La Plata in a top of the table clash this week. Tigre have been exceptionally strong at home, so it's tough to envision them losing, but Estudiantes have the talent to beat anyone in the Americas at any time. They haven't really put it all together in over a year and they're just limping along in the Primera, but this week's match is the kind that could kick off a great run of form if they're able to get a good result.
The other two main contenders for the title, Velez Sarsfield and Boca Juniors, both have tough but winnable away games. Velez goes away to 10th placed Union, while Boca goes to San Juan to play sixth placed San Martin. Velez had off in Copa Libertadores this week, while Boca recorded a big away win over Arsenal.

By Leeann Akers - Editor
March 26, 2014 — A former Carter County sheriff's deputy was arrested Friday and charged with first degree sodomy, second degree trafficking in a controlled substance, and first degree official misconduct.
Matt Morrison, 38, of Grayson, turned himself in at the Carter County Detention Center after he was indicted by a Carter grand jury.
According to the indictment, Morrison committed first degree sodomy by engaging in deviant sexual intercourse with a female by forcible compulsion, a Class B felony.
He also was indicted on one count of second degree trafficking in a Scheduled II controlled substance by distributing dosage units of Xanax, a Class D felony.
Morrison was indicted on one misdemeanor charge, first degree official misconduct, for neglecting to serve an arrest warrant in exchange for sexual favors.
Morrison had been a deputy with the sheriff's office since October 2010.
The Kentucky State Police released a statement about the investigation late Friday night.
According to records obtained by the Journal-Times, Morrison was terminated from his position as a full-time deputy on Feb. 8. However, no reason for the termination was given.
The KSP investigation did not begin until Feb. 14.
Sheriff Casey Brammell said Friday that, once he was made aware of Morrison's alleged actions, he (Brammell) had turned the investigation over to another agency.
"We don't tolerate that kind of abuse of power," Brammell said. "As soon as I found out about it, he was gone. Now we are just praying for his family and victim."
Brammell declined further comment on the case, but did surrender documents to the Journal-Times after an open records request was filed.
No indication of criminal activity or previous disciplinary action was present in the surrendered documents.
Morrison was released from the Greenup County Detention Center on Monday. He was given a $100,000 property bond by Judge Johnny Ray Harris, who was assigned to the case when Judge Rebecca Phillips recused herself. Morrison will also be restricted to home incarceration during his pending litigation.

Epping official: Remains at cemetery undisturbed
After researching concerns about the condition of the Dow Cemetery, Jerry Langdon, chairman of the town's cemetery trustees, told selectmen last week that no bodies have been touched.Langdon began researching when concerns about the cemetery were raised by some residents and town officials after it appeared the cemetery had been dug up in spots.
Langdon told selectmen last month that he didn't believe any of the grave sites had been disturbed, but he conducted further research over the past month to confirm his belief.
"Monuments haven't been removed at least in the last 25 years. It had nothing to do with the Thayers owning that property," Langdon said last week.
But it's unclear where those stones belong and how they ended up at the Leddy Cemetery. The Thayers have said they believe the Dows are buried in the cemetery along Dimond Hill Road, but Langdon said last week that the town has no documentation of who is buried there.

National Security: The Sept. 11 commission stated that our biggest failure was one of imagination. Imagine an Iranian nuclear device detonating high over the American heartland. They're working on it.
On the same day the 9/11 Commission issued its report, another commission issued a report on a threat that could change our world and way of life in ways we can scarcely imagine. It is a real and credible threat, and it is largely being ignored.
The threat is a phenomenon known as electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, and demonstrates why the issue of homeland security extends beyond the need for body scanners or taking our shoes off at the airport. It's why ignoring Iran is dangerous and why a robust national missile defense should be of the highest priority.
This threat to our national security was the subject of study by the Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse Attack, established by unanimous consent of the House and Senate. Released on the same day as the 9/11 Commission report, few paid attention.
It is a scenario worthy of Hollywood, but it is a frighteningly real possibility. A solitary ballistic missile, perhaps an ICBM launched by a decaying North Korean regime or an Iranian mullah, or a terrorist Scud launched from a ship off the Atlantic Coast carrying the first Islamic nuke, detonates its warhead 25 to 300 miles above the U.S. mainland.
Nobody is harmed or killed immediately by the blast. But life in America, the world's only superpower and largest economy, comes to a screeching halt as a country dependent on 21st-century technology regresses almost a century instantaneously.
The radiation from such a high-altitude nuclear blast would interact with air molecules to produce high-energy electrons that would race along the earth's magnetic field in a pulse strong enough to disrupt power grids, electronic systems and communications.
And that's just for starters.
Millions could die as hospital systems shut down and rail and air traffic control systems collapse. Farmers wouldn't be able to harvest crops, and distributors couldn't get goods to market.
Energy production would cease. Computers and PCs would become large paperweights. Telephones, even cellphones, wouldn't work. Electronic records would be inaccessible, if they survived.
As Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., notes: "A terrorist organization might have trouble putting a nuclear warhead on target with a Scud, but it would be much easier to simply launch and detonate in the atmosphere. . .. Just launch a cheap missile from a freighter in international waters — al-Qaida is believed to own about 80 such vessels — and make sure to get it a few miles in the air."
Iran has long practiced launching Scuds from ships in the Caspian Sea and detonating them in midflight. It has also tested high-altitude explosions of its Shahab-3 ballistic missile, a test consistent with an EMP attack.
The warhead need not be of a staggeringly high yield; the missile need not have an intercontinental range. The plan only awaits a working nuke, something Tehran gets closer to every day.
Iran's Shahab-3 is a midrange mobile missile and small enough to be transported in the hold of a freighter. A nuclear missile so concealed would give Iran, or terrorists, the ability to launch a devastating attack on America without warning.
We need to think outside the silo and consider scenarios other than standard launches from an enemy's homeland. To protect against ballistic missile threats, including an EMP attack, we need a multilayered missile defense system capable of shooting down missiles in all phases of flight, especially the boost or ascent phase.
Unthinkable? Far-fetched? So was Sept. 11 — the idea that planes could be hijacked and turned into deadly manned cruise missiles.

SOPA shelved after Obama announcement
Opponent of the Stop Online Piracy Act, California congressman Darrell Issa noted today that he'd been told by House majority leader Eric Cantor that there would be no vote on SOPA "unless there is consensus on the bill," this essentially shelving the project until further notice. This move "effectively scuppers" SOPA, as the Guardian notes, and puts pressure on the next most notorious bill regarding these matters, the e-Parasite act, as it comes to a vote on January 24th. This is the victory we've been waiting for, folks, unless you're a big media company that hoped to mis-use the bill, of course.

MONTREAL – An employee of a real-estate office in Farnham, about an hour southeast of Montreal, was abducted for several hours Monday night. The man was freed later that night and he is now safe, Sgt. Claude Denis of the Sûreté du Québec said. Police could not say if the man's abductors were armed. "The investigation is ongoing. We will meet with the man to find out what happened from the beginning," Denis said. "For now he is having difficulty collaborating with us."
The lengthy drug-trafficking trial involving three men who escaped from a detention centre near Quebec City, only to be captured two weeks later, resumes Monday in the provincial capital.
MONTREAL — A truck full of automotive parts tipped over Monday morning on the access ramp to Highway 15 north and the whole ramp was closed to traffic for nine hours until workers could clear the truck and contents from the roadway. The driver of the truck was on Highway 40 going east when he took the turn to get on the Laurentian Autoroute and his load fell over at 2:15 a.m.
MONTREAL — A speeding motorcyclist was badly injured on Sunday evening after colliding with a vehicle along Highway 40 near l'Assomption. Sûreté du Québec officers caught the motorcycle driver speeding using radar and attempted to intercept him, according to SQ spokesperson Claude Denis. He was moving too quickly, however, and the officers lost sight of the bike. Within minutes, however, they came across an accident involving the same motorcycle and a vehicle carrying several people.
A train and car collided in L'Île Verte late Saturday, according to provincial police.
MONTREAL — A motorist with engine problems was hit by a truck early Tuesday on Highway 40 eastbound and is fighting for his life in hospital. The accident happened at 12:45 a.m. on the highway, near Querbes Ave. "The driver had pulled over but the truck could not stop," said Sgt. Claude Denis with the Sûreté du Québec. Police fear for the driver's life.
Police confirm they have met with Vito Rizzuto amid reports he has been summoned for what would be the memorable spectacle of a reputed Mafia don testifying at the Charbonneau Commission.
A 21-year-old Quebec City man died on Saturday after falling off his longboard in Alma, in Quebec's Saguenay region.
An 84-year-old man remained in critical condition in hospital in St. Hyacinthe Thursday morning after being crushed between two of his vehicles Wednesday night, the Sûreté du Québec said.

What would Beyoncé do?
"What is your aspiration in life? My aspiration in life is to be happy"
There is something so crippling about not being able to express yourself… not being able to be you. Losing someone you love makes you think hard and reflect back on all the things you could have done, said and shown that person. You realise your flaws, you realise you made mistakes but most importantly you learn and you challenge the things you did wrong. The growth and the journey through life makes us the people we are, makes me the person I am. It's not healthy to expect perfection because the reality is that it doesn't exist. I've learned that I don't want to never be satisfied. It's not a healthy way to live. Setting the bar to what you expect and raising it more and more each time is chasing an impossible dream. I realise now that life is what you make it, not what you expect it to be like. There has to be balance and that is a constant struggle. Balance in life, in your relationships, in your work. Happiness is not about dedicating yourself to one part of your life, one person. It is about knowing who you are, accepting yourself, flaws and all, fighting for what you want out of life and most importantly, living it.
"I've set myself a goal, and that goal is independence"
Looking back I lost the independent woman I'd grown up being because I enjoyed the feeling of having someone there who I could trust to depend on. And that mistake I hope to learn from. I fought so hard to be where I am today, determined to make it on my own and have my independence. I had faith in myself that I would get through all the challenges and obstacles that life throws at us. Then I fell in love and I realised how much easier life could be when you had someone there to share it with. Someone who could fight your corner, support you, someone you could rely on and I got too comfortable with that. I took advantage, my biggest regret and lost sight of myself. It is only now I realise that I lost the fighter in me who doesn't need to rely on anyone but myself to make me happy. I lost who I was because I thought I needed someone else to live my life. I thought I needed someone else to make me happy but when you look at your life there are relationships, jobs, experiences that all make up the dots but it's you who holds the cards, the choices on how you live it. Only you can make you happy.
"Life is but a dream"
Hindsight is a beautiful thing. The best thing about looking back is realising how incredible life is and if you don't take time to think about it and appreciate it, you'll never really live it. You'll never realise that all the dots are connected and that each day makes up a tiny part of you and your journey through life. Life never turns out how we expect it to be and that is why instead of expecting we should be living. Each day teaches us something different. We learn and we grow. We experience the bad and the good but knowing ourselves and knowing that we are all we need in life is a power that keeps us strong. Life is unpredictable and you never know what is coming next but I do know that I'm ready for it. I'm stronger, I'm wiser, I am myself.
We are all playing a part in a much greater show and that's what life is… it's the greatest show on earth.

Because of my background in church-state studies, for the past third of a century or so I have been interested in the many legal puzzles linked to the work of military chaplains.
The bottom line: There is no easy way to provide doctrinally specific care to all of the sailors on a submarine (or a very small, remote base near the front lines).
It is possible for one clergy person to show tolerance and sympathy for believers in a number of different religions with clashing doctrines, but there is no way one or two chaplains can turn into doctrinal Swiss Army knives and provide the same degree of care for Catholics, Muslims, Lutherans, Mormons, Baptists, Orthodox Jews, Reform Jews, Wiccans, Hindus, etc., etc. At some point, people feel left out. At some point, there is a Catholic who needs to say a sacramentally valid Confession before going into combat and the only chaplain available is a female Baptist or United Methodist or Episcopalian or Disciple of Christ.
Doctrinal conservatives in various traditions often try to wish this conflict away, even though it is just as important for neopagans to have religious liberty as it is for Southern Baptists.
Doctrinal liberals in various traditions are the leading advocates for the theological Swiss Army knife approach, since their faiths almost always take a more Universalist approach to issues attached to salvation and sacraments. Thus, when a Catholic male declines to say his confession to a female chaplain in a liberal mainline church, that is the male soldier's problem. Why can't everybody just get alone?
As a result of my fascination with these issues, I have been paying close attention to the debate about whether Catholic priests who are under contract (as opposed to being regular military chaplains) will be allowed to volunteer (as in for free) say Mass on bases affected by the government shutdown.
Alas, cruise through the results of this logical Google News search file and it will be easy to see a familiar trend.
The Daily Caller? Check.
The Washington Times. Check.
TheBlaze.com? Check.
The Christian Broadcasting Network? Check.
Lifesite? Check.

Yes, indeed. It appears that this is a conservative news story, one that falls outside the approved template for the mainstream media's coverage of government-shutdown horror stories.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - A suspected car thief is under arrest after leading police on a chase down Interstate 8.
When officers tried to pull over the stolen Honda at a gas station in Ocean Beach, the driver took off towards the eastbound I-8.
Spike strips were used at the freeway entrance. The driver continued for about a quarter mile before crashing into an embankment.
"At that point the police dog was deployed because the subject was not compliant. The police dog did contact the driver, initiating a bit to the suspect. At that point the suspect began to fight violently with the officers," said San Diego police Lt. Paul Rorrison.
He was arrested then taken to UCSD hospital with minor injuries.

- Full Price:

- Our Price:
- $69.00 - $99.00
Two iconic American rock groups will share the stage at the Fabulous Forum this summer as Cheap Trick joins Boston for their "Heaven on Earth" tour. Known for their killer pop hooks, Boston sold millions during the '70s and '80s with their catchy version of prog rock. Their self-titled debut was one of the fastest-selling pop debuts in history, spawning three hit singles that became American classics: "More Than a Feeling," "Long Time" and "Peace of Mind." At the same time, Cheap Trick was perfecting the delicate balance between power pop and hard rock that made them a major influence on future punk, metal and alternative bands. Songs like "I Want You to Want Me," "Surrender" and "Dream Police," along with their dynamic live performances, sealed their reputation as arena rock gods. Now, 40 years into their careers, the two bands are still going strong. The "Heaven on Earth" tour is traveling the country in support of Boston's sixth studio album release, Life, Love & Hope, and this is one of a select few appearances where Cheap Trick will be performing with them.

Quotes & Highlights
"Ms. Voigt, clearly in her prime, is astonishing. Her sound is at once earthen and gleaming… Simply glorious." —New York Times
Widely regarded as the pre-eminent dramatic soprano of her generation, the mighty Deborah Voigt is one of today's most sought-after singers, dazzling audiences with the raw power and lustrous sheen of her extraordinary voice. Named Musical America's 2003 Vocalist of the Year, Voigt has made a name for herself as the world's reigning interpreter of Strauss and Wagner, and has garnered wild acclaim for her performances of Italian repertoire and Broadway classics. "Opera stars often hit a peak early on, and spend the rest of their careers trying not to disappoint a world that witnessed it," wrote the Philadelphia Inquirer after Voigt's "standard-setting" performance of Salome last January with the National Symphony Orchestra. "So when Deborah Voigt delivers one performance after another that her fans didn't dare anticipate a decade ago, you see why she's adored unceasingly." Voigt comes to Royce Hall in a crowd-pleasing program of Broadway tunes and popular standards.

West = Southwest
Vote in the poll and then defend your arguments.
--Jason "note: this thread can also be the home for discussion of which #1 seed has the toughest route to the FFour" Evans
Don't ask me why, but my mother is making me Tweet. Says it will be good for my career. So, follow my ramblings, mostly on the film industry, @TVFilmTalk
West = Southwest
Using my trusty basketball rankings bible (aka kenpom), I added the kenpom rankings of the top twelve teams in each region together. I avoided using the bottom four seeds because the difference between teams the 100th team and the 150th team are minimal but their contribution to the overall score is significant. In addition, the chance that any of these team will have an influence on the tournament after the first weekend is low. For the two play-in games, I averaged the two opponents score and rounded to the nearest whole number before adding their score. Just like golf, lowest score wins the toughest region award:
East: 289
Southwest: 320
Southeast: 352
West: 370
The East is the clear winner thanks to teams like Kentucky (8) as a four seed, Washington (15) seven seed, and the overall number one, Ohio St. (1).
Like it or not, friends, Duke again has the easiest road to the final four with a whopping timmy c score of 370! You can point to Tennessee (55) a nine seed, and Memphis (85) a 12 seed as the biggest offenders.
Disagree with me Comment below and let me have it!
I'll talk about the #1 roads. East is tougher b/c UNC/Cuse is a better 2/3 than SD. St/UCONN although the #1 only plays 1 of them. The 8/9 in those brackets are very similar. I'd say Tenn is better than Nova but GMU might be best of the 4. The 4 seeds are pretty even with Texas having a slight nod over UK and possiblity of Zona in California adds another wrinkle.
The SE is obviously the weakest. BYU should be a 4 and Fla. a 3. BYU should switch with UK and Fla. with UCONN. Heck, Duke should probably have a rematch with Purdue as the 4 and Texas should have their 3.
But the West is stronger than the SW. ND is better than SD St. but UCONN might be better than ND and UCONN/SD St. is a wash with ND/Purdue. Texas/Zona (in California) is stronger than Vandy/Louisville and their 8/9 game is a complete joke.
A nice idea, TimmyC... thanks for doing that.
The problem is once you get down to the #10-#12 seeds, you get a lot of variation in how tough those teams are. Getting the #7 vs. #80 team in KenPom is not that big a deal, but carries as much weight as a region getting the #1 team versus getting the #11 team. See my point?
Plus, those lower seeded teams don't really have much of an impact on a region. Sure, the occasional #12 or #13 will rise up and surprise everyone, but how often do teams seeded below about #6 make the Elite Eight? Not often at all.
I would be interested in seeing your same data but only looking at the top 4-6 seeds... or perhaps looking at all the way down to the top 8 seeds. But taking it all the way down to #12 just allows for too much variance in teams that are not significant players in the region.
Know what I mean?
-Jason "again, good research -- I gave you pitchfork points for doing this" Evans
Don't ask me why, but my mother is making me Tweet. Says it will be good for my career. So, follow my ramblings, mostly on the film industry, @TVFilmTalk
kenpom is great and all but it is incomplete like any stat. Who would you rather play? Tenn or UNLV? UNLV is 22 on Kenpom compared to Tenn at 55. Personally, I'd rather face UNLV. Their compute numbers are great as they are an very efficient team but consistency from an 8 seed won't get you much. 8 seeds that can beat a # 1 seed (Tenn beating Pitt) are a lot scarier than a mid-major team where you know what you are getting from them.
And a lot of mid majors wins come before X-mas when a lot of power conference teams are figuring things out especially with their freshman. (Texas losing to USC, UNC losing to Ill. and Minn., Purdue losing to Richmond) Those games have a great influence on numbers but it is obvious that neither of these teams are the same with the development of their freshmen.
Tournament teams are mostly made up of championship teams, whether it be regular season or tournament. If you break down which teams are in which bracket by championships won you get this:
Big Ten (Season & Tourney)
ACC (Season)
Pac-12 (Season)
SEC (Tourney)
Atlantic 10 (Season)
Missouri Valley (Tourney)
Northeast (Season & Tourney)
Colonial (Season)
Ivy (Tourney)
Big XII Champ (Season & Tourney)
American East Champ (Tourney)
Ohio Valley Champ (Tourney)
Metro Atlantic Champ (Tourney)
Mid American Champ (Tourney)
Atlantic 10 (Tourney)
Big East (Season)
Horizon (Season & Tourney)
Colonial (Tourney)
WAC (Season & Tourney)
Atlantic Sun (Season & Tourney)
WCC (Season & Tourney)
MWC (Season)
Big West (Tourney)
SEC (Season)
ACC (Tourney)
MEAC (Tourney)
Pac-10 (Season)
C-USA (Tourney)
Summit League (Season & Tourney)
Big East (Tourney)
Patriot League (Season & Tourney)
Big Sky (Season & Tourney)
MWC (Tourney)
Also, if you take a look at current AP ranking by bracket you get this:
1 - 6 - 11 - 15 - 18 - 20
avg. 11.8
2 - 4 - 9 - 14 - 22
avg 10.2
3 - 8 - 12 - 13 - 17 - 19 - 23
avg. 13.6
5 - 7 - 10 - 16 - 21 - 24 - 25
avg. 15.4
Now, within this breakdown you separate the "big conferences" from the rest and appoint values.
4 BCS (3 Season, 2 Tourney)
5 Non-BCS (3 Season, 3 Tourney)
1 BCS (1 Season, 1 Tourney)
5 Non-BCS (5 Tourney)
2 BCS (2 Season)
7 Non-BCS (5 Season, 6 Tourney)
3 BCS (1 Season, 2 Tourney)
6 Non-BCS (4 Season, 6 Tourney)

1.0 weight for Season Championship

Each bracket then divided by average AP rank.

I might do a variable rating using KenPom rankings rather than AP the next time they are updated.
carolina is toast!
Ozzie, your paradigm of optimism!
Go To Hell carolina, Go To Hell!
I would say the West is the most top-heavy, especially with Texas as a #4 (kenpom's #4 team in the country!), a potential matchup with SDSU in Anaheim (a virtual home game for them), and one of the nation's hottest teams (UConn). Arizona also looks like a tough #5, and they would be playing relatively close to home if they advance to the Sweet Sixteen.
But top-to-bottom, I gotta say the East is a little stronger overall. U-Dub (#7) is talented and capable of going on a tear, and the Syracuse (#3) zone could stifle either or both of UNC and OSU if the outside shots aren't falling. Of course, Barnes could also drop 30 per game while Zeller and Henson dominate inside, so UNC is capable of emerging here as well. And Kentucky is a pretty strong #4 (although not nearly as tough as Texas) and their record is a little deceiving: of their 8 losses, they lost 6 by a total of 13 points, and they were all on the opponents' home court (including @UNC, @UF, @Vandy). They also beat U-Dub and dismantled Notre Dame and Louisville, and they seem to be clicking right now...I would not want to face them in the Sweet Sixteen if I were OSU. Otherwise, all the CBS announcers all seemed to be in love with Xavier (#6), but I don't know much about them. #5 WVU is good, but I could also see Clemson upsetting them as a #12 seed that has been playing pretty well recently (giving us a tough time in Cameron and going to OT with UNC).
But because youve asked nicely, here are the top 6 seeds only.
West: 79
East: 91
Southwest: 95
Southeast: 108
Duke's bracket seems brutal at first, but may not be as bad as it seems. My reasoning:
1. Having the strongest #3 seed doesn't matter whatsoever; if we play them, it will be where we're supposed to play the #2 seed anyway.
2. Texas in the sweet 16 is a little scary, but they're 4-4 in their last 8. I'm not sure if I'd rather have surging Louisville or UK, which is who top 2 overall seeds KU and OSU have; there's just a lot of parity in the top 4 seeds this year.
3. Tennessee in the second round also makes me a little nervous, but while they're very athletic, they're also a whopping 4-7 in their last 11, including home losses to Alabama, Georgia, and Miss St.
I just can't get over Pitt's bracket. Their 2-seed hasn't been a top 10 team all year and just got blown out by a 4-seed, their 3-seed has been awful since losing their center and just got blown out by a 2-seed, and their 4-seed just lost 36-33 to a 10-seed and isn't the same team away from home anyway.
After a quick glance, I'd put it the following way...
1 - Southwest
2 - East
3 - West
4 - Southeast
The Southeast is by far the easiest bracket. You have a Florida team that did well over the season but isn't very talented for a 2 seed. A 3 seed in BYU that just isn't the same without Davies and is susceptible to a bad Jimmer shooting night. 4 seed Wisconsin is a good team but their real strength is at home. 5 seed K-State is a team who underperformed, then made a surge, then lost to NIT team Colorado (three times!); obviously vulnerable. 6 seed St John's is missing one if it's key players to injury. Overall, a surprisingly weak region.
Our region, the West, is OK. We are lucky to have SDSU as our 2 seed; the only other 2 seed I'd rather have is Florida but at least it isn't Notre Dame. UCONN got the 3 on the basis of their strong BE tournament run; this is a dangerous team but like BYU relies on Kemba to have a good game. The winner of SDSU-UCONN would make a worthy Elite Eight match-up. Texas as 4 seed is what sticks out like a sore thumb, a major red flag that everyone is going to circle as "an upset special" in the Sweet 16. This is a team that was ranked #1 before in the regular season and is ranked #4 on KenPom! By far the strongest 4 seed in the tournament, and probably more deserving of a 3 (in place of BYU). All that said, Arizona has a chance of knocking Texas out as the 5 seed. Texas is what makes the West difficult.
The Southwest and East are about even, though I give the edge to the Southwest. Obviously the 1 seeds are the strongest in the tournament, but the 2 and 3 seeds are slightly stronger in the Southwest. UNC is run by a freshman point guard, and those are susceptible to an upset. Contrast that to Notre Dame, a team rich with experience. I'd rather have UNC in my bracket. Purdue has a slightly higher KenPom rating than Syracuse, so in the absence of further information I'll say I'd rather have Syracuse. Similar to UNC, Kentucky may have a lot of talent but much of it is young; they could easily be upset. Louisville on the other hand feels more solid and had a great BE tournament. Both 4s feel strong. The 5s are a wash and while the 6 seed Georgetown looks scary, realize the Hoyas are a different team without Chris Wright.
My final four picks as of right now: OSU, ND, Duke, Pitt.
http://cornerplay.com - the Shane Battier of tech blogs
I just like that if the chalk holds, unc would have to go against the 'Cuse zone.
As for Duke, well wouldn't we all like a piece of uconn?!

Unalike Chinese and Thai, Malaysian food in London is a bit hit-and-miss and Jom Makan, whilst a great idea, teeters on the edge of 'Miss'. The starters are ok, they are varied and tasty enough, but in my opinion a good Malaysian restaurant should be able to produce an excellent beef rendang and this is where I was left utterly disappointed. The beef was stringy and very dry (even more dry than a rendang should be) and any ounce of sauce was watery and unpleasant.
I also find it annoying that every dish needs to be garnished with cucumbers or cherry tomatoes, which aren't quite right as a garnish at the best of times. The head Chef, bizarrely, was Austrian/German when we visited… Something I found to be quite bizarre as most of the best Asian/Oriental restaurants in town, have Chefs that come from a similar background of that of the restaurant itself. Service, whilst polite, is a tad erratic with staff looking a bit confused and lingering in corners.
I wouldn't feel the need to come here again and so the hunt for truly great Malaysian food in London continues!
