4Halle Berry Got Married
In what is a bit of happier news, I suppose, the reports were correct and Halle Berry married her longtime fiance and father of her miracle baby Olivier Martinez at Chateau des Conde in Vallery, France on Saturday. It was a small, chill ceremony and some sneaky paparazzo took the image above while hiding in some bushes, I suppose, and then sold it to US Weekly, who published the following:
Sources tell Us that the bride and groom first exchanged vows in a civil ceremony performed by a local mayor at around 4:15 p.m., and then had a religious ceremony in the chapel on the grounds of the Chateau at 5:30 p.m.. Around 60 guests, including Martinez's brother, Vincent, and mother, Rosemarie, were in attendance.
"White marquees were put up, and everyone was very discreet because it was a show business wedding," a local tells Us of the nuptials, which also made use of several white limousines. "But generally it was pretty down-to-earth."
Which is not to say it wasn't a great party. Following the ceremony in the chapel, wedding guests enjoyed a celebratory dinner, followed by a fireworks display and dancing. "They all partied long into the night," a source tells Us, noting that the music could be heard until around 1 a.m. local time.
I doubt Halle did all that much "partying" considering she's getting well into her second trimester of pregnancy, but I'm sure it was a lovely time and congrats to them, etc.

35Top 14 Most Hated Celebrity Couples
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are easily one of the most hated celebrity couples ever, right? Radaronline polled a whole mess of people and compiled a list of 14 celebrity couples that people absolutely hate and Kim and Kanye didn't even make the list! Shocker! These lists are based on pretty much nothing, but they're so fun; from the most hated celebrities to the ugliest male celebs, I know I like a good stupid list.
I don't think these are actually in a particular order, in terms of most to least. The first ones on the list are Rihanna and Chris Brown. Who are the rest?Click to find out.

31Two Guys Broke Each Other's Bones for Halle Berry
Ok, this is going to be kind of complicated, since we don't really pay attention to Halle Berry over here, but it's a pretty big story, so let's play catch-up, just in case you don't know the back story.
See, Halle has this kid, Nahla, with professional hot ass, Gabriel Aubry. They broke up, and Gabriel still wanted to see his daughter, but Halle wanted to make it difficult. The custody battle started over two years ago.
So Halle meets this other dude, Olivier Martinez, and they got engaged. And they want to move to France, but Gabriel doesn't want his daughter to move to France, because that's kind of a long drive from L.A. So they fought about that for a while, then the judge was finally like "no, you can't move to France, let your kid see her dad." And Halle Berry got mad. And so did Gabriel, and so did Olivier. And the two dudes got in a fight.
From TMZ:
Gabriel Aubry was arrested Thanksgiving morning after a melee at Halle Berry's house, which sent both Gabriel and Halle's fiance Olivier Martinez to the hospital … TMZ has learned.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … Gabriel showed up to Halle's house with Nahla for a custodial hand-off. We're told Gabriel was still in the motor court (a rich person's word for a giant driveway) when Olivier walked up to him and said, "We have to move on."
According to witnesses, Gabriel then pushed Olivier and threw a punch at his face, but Olivier blocked it and the punch struck him in the shoulder instead. We're told Gabriel then pushed Olivier to the ground, and Olivier cold-cocked him in the face, and a struggle ensued, ending with Olivier pinning Gabriel to the ground.
In the struggle, Gabriel suffered a broken rib, contusions on his face, and possibly a more serious head injury. Olivier may have broken his hand and suffered neck injuries as well. There are conflicting accounts as to whether Gabriel was rendered unconscious in the fight.
Police were called and Olivier made a citizen's arrest for battery against Gabriel. Gabriel was escorted to the ER and, ironically, Olivier went to the same ER an hour later. The two were just down the hall from each other.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … a judge has issued an emergency protective order, which requires Gabriel to stay 100 yards away from Halle, Olivier, and Nahla.
And finally, there's this … specifics about the argument between Gabriel and Olivier are sketchy because they were trash talking each other in French.
Gabriel went to jail for a few hours, and Olivier went home to Halle Berry. Fair, right?
Look, of course violence is bad. But Gabriel Aubry is just a guy who loves his daughter and who wants to be able to spend time with her. And he took her to Halle, and this asshole comes up to him and says "we have to move on." Isn't that shitty? I'm assuming the subtext was "you have to get over this and let us move to France, please just forget about your daughter because we really want to go to France," and that's why Gabriel didn't waste any time in hitting him. But that was such a bitchy thing for Olivier to say, and Gabriel obviously came out worse in the fight. And he's getting punished because his ex's new guy is a douchebag.
I don't know, guys. I'm not cool with violence, but I'm also not cool with assholes. What do you think?

The Sport Rider:
Dainese Manis — $220
Replacing Dainese's popular Wave, the Manis expands the area of coverage, adds protection and does so in a slimmer package that can expand, contract and rotate with your body's movements. Wearing it under a set of race leathers, you can't feel it back there and it doesn't impede your ability to contort into correct body position in any way. The flat neoprene shoulder straps and waist belt are both comfy and low-profile.
The Aerostich Nut:
Aerostich TF3 Competition Back Pad — $120
Aerostich's armor doesn't meet CE certification because it was around before the standards existed. Nevertheless, it provides excellent protection and I totally trust it to protect me and it actually transmits lower levels of force to the rider's body than the standard requires. The Competition Back Pad is compatible with any of Aerostich's suits or jackets and provides the greatest area of coverage, expanding over your kidney and coccyx. As a bonus, it makes a comfy mattress if you're sleeping in the Aerostich Motel.
The Budget Shopper:
Alpinestars Bio Armor Back Protector — $30
For just $30, the Bio Armor back Protector provides CE1 protection in an insert that should fit most jacket pockets. It's a little heavy and a little stiff compared to more expensive options, but it gets the job done. As a bonus, it could easily be trimmed to size if the pocket on your jacket is a little small or even sewn into the liner.
These are the protectors that work for us, what back protectors do you have experience with and how have they performed?

Video: Dodgers vs. Diamondbacks full brawl from last night
Holy smokes! I may have to start watching baseball again after last night's (June 11, 2013) wild bench-clearing brawl between Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks, which started when Ian Kennedy beaned Zack Greinke in the noggin. You know it's bad when mild-mannered Don Mattingly has to be restrained and hey look, there's Mark McGwire vs. Kirk Gibson! Nutty night at the ballpark and ejections galore ... who said the National League was boring?

This discussion is too mechanical for my taste and reminds me of the nitpicking of the Delta Vega scenes from the last movie. What is it about, what are the themes of this sequences, what does it mean for the characters, how could you describe it in two lines are more important questions for me than the "but why did Gandalf not ask the eagles to take Frodo to Mount Doom?" kind of plot mechanical questions.
The point of Delta Vega is to be a place where Spock and Kirk meet not coincidentally in a slightly surreal atmosphere (I guess the movie would have been better without the NimoySpock & Spock scene to maintain the ghostliness of NimoySpock)
The point of the Nexus is to compare the hedonist who yearns for eternal bliss with the heroes who yearn to do the right thing even if they have to sacrifice their private happiness or their very life.
Of course one can focus on the trees instead of the forest and nitpick Delta Vega or the Nexus or whatever to death but I fail to see the merit of that.
When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?" And I've long since learned that to be a follower to the Jesus Christ means taking up the cross. And my bible tells me that Good Friday comes before Easter. - MLK, Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam

I have several fishing reports from anglers who have braved the heat recently to get out on the water.
SOCIAL CIRCLE - Whether still-hunting, stalk-hunting or squirrel-dog hunting is your preference, squirrel season started Wednesday.
WAYCROSS - Since the completion of the tagging portion of the flathead catfish project in April and as of Aug. 3, biologists and technicians have removed 2,572 flathead catfish from the Satilla River.
BRUNSWICK - One of Georgia's oldest artificial reefs known to most anglers and divers as G Reef has been renamed the "HLHA Reef" in honor of now-retired Coastal Resources Division biologist and artificial reef project coordinator, Henry Ansley.
Our fishing is improving every week. The fishing reports had bass, flounder and trout. The flounder have started to bite, and their favorite bait is minnows.
The 2007-2008 Georgia Hunting Seasons and Regulations Guide now is available, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Division.
Coastal fishing continues to be slow because of the hot weather.
Georgia's State Parks, Recreation and Historic Sites Division is a finalist for the National Recreation and Park Association's "Gold Medal Excellence in Park & Recreation Management" award - the most prestigious award a recreation agency can achieve. Georgia shares the honor with state park systems from Utah and Tennessee.
The weather continues to stay hot, however, I believe our fishing season has started, judging from the fishing reports I have received this past week. The fishermen are catching bass, trout and flounder.
Recent improvements at Yeomans Bird Pond, one of East Liberty's showplaces, have brought more than just the desired visitors. Observers at the pond, home to a variety of coastal birds, have reported at least two alligators, which they suspect are being fed by visitors because of the fearless way they approach the boardwalk when people visit the area.
Women have three opportunities to improve various outdoor skills, including shooting (archery and firearms), fishing and camping, according to the Georgia DNR.
Alligators in Georgia currently have a population of more than 200,000, thanks to scientific wildlife management, according to the state DNR.
SOCIAL CIRCLE - Georgians have the chance to win a lifetime hunting-and-fishing license in the next edition of the Lifetime License Contest sponsored by the Georgia Natural Resources Foundation.
Acclaimed photographer John Reed will present his End of Summer Nature Photography Workshop on Sept. 13-14 at Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge near Folkston.

Understand us by the work we do:
A major internationally recognized credit bureau wanted an external party to challenge their company's security.
Mitnick Security's team was deployed and simulated threats by black-hat attackers against the bureau. Using physical exploits and social engineering, the team penetrated critical systems and data centers. This included being able to access the credit reports and personal information of consumers. As a result of our findings and recommendations, the bureau was able to dramatically improve their security.
The government of Ecuador was under the threat of having the presidential election stolen by hackers or hostile foreign governments capable of destabilizing the country.
Mitnick Security's team was engaged to protect and monitor the systems that tabulated Ecuador's 2013 elections to prevent tampering and manipulation. Vulnerabilities were assessed, and security was improved. The elections went smoothly and all unwanted activities were blocked.
"Penetrating a company's security often starts with the bad guy obtaining some piece of information that seems so innocent, so everyday and unimportant, that most people in the organization don't see any reason why the item should be protected and restricted.
Who are you going to call?
Mitnick Security provides the Global Ghost Team
Mitnick Security deploys its Global Ghost Team in a manner specific to each engagement, including augmenting our security specialists and trusted situational-specific resources. Then, using a blend of proprietary technology and methodologies, we test multiple attack vectors and simulate sophisticated hackers to analyze your company's attack surface.

Recognized as a world authority on hacking, Kevin has his team employ his methodologies and techniques (many not publicly known) in a manner that is the recognized standard for achievement.
Security is both an art and a science.
Psychology is at the core for both the attackers and the defenders, and technology itself is just a way to reinforce "secure thinking."
Our globally renowned team and "white-hat hacker network" use technology and knowledge to provide unparalleled analysis of and insight into your security risks and vulnerabilities. We implore all of our clients to do comprehensive testing even if they've been tested before or have internal security staff in place, because unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your viewpoint) our team too often finds that organizations are compromised by malicious criminals, rogue nations, and, often, internal figures.

I am trying to install these technologies (Eclipse + MJT + SDK for Nokia 6131 NFC), but in some way I am doing something wróng.
My OS is Windows Vista.
- Eclipse is running ok.
- I can install SDK for Nokia 6131 NFC correctly since I chose the option "Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP (SP2)". I know that this tool is not compatible with Windows Vista... But choosing this option, there are no problems while installing. Eclipse detects the SDK, but I think it does not work properly... If I choose the option "add new Nokia SDK", nothing happens. And I cannot creat a MIDP project either.
- I downladed MJT but I do not know how to "install" them... I think I just have tu put the JAR files into the appropriate folder in Eclipse... right?
I would be grateful if I can get any idea to solve these problems. Thank you in advance.

The Cincinnati Bengals has three times this century done something that all Bengals Fans are familiar with, start a season 0-5. The frustration we fans feel is also familiar as each of these teams we believed were talented enough to compete for playoff spot. But after the third week of the season, the realization that this is not the case slaps us in the face like a bucket of ice cold water. But is this team really better than those previous two, as everyone believes?
This year's version of the futile Bengals would lead one to think this maybe the worst team this franchise has ever put on the field, with their inability to score points and prevent the opponent from scoring too many. With that in mind, I will try and give you a look at the how closely matched each team is to each other and maybe provide a look into the furture. So, let's look at the talent level of each of these teams using returning Pro Bowlers as the guide.
The 2000 team had 2 returning Pro Bowlers from the 1999 season, finishing 4-12. But the 2002 team, which sports the worst record in franchise history at 2-14, had one returning Pro Bowler, Corey Dillon, who also was selected to the 2000 Pro Bowl. This season, the team has 2 returning pro bowlers from last season, Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh, and a third from the 2006 season in Carson Palmer. A forth, also from the 2006 season, would be on the team but the Bengals saw fit to release Willie Anderson before the season started. The talent level for this season's team can be considered at a higher level than the previous 2 dismal seasons based on the number of returning Pro Bowlers.
This seasons offensive and defensive units appear to be the atypical lot in which neither are capable of doing what is needed to achieve success. Currently, the offense, the much feared high powered offense of the recent past, is ranked 31st overall averaging 236 yards per game and 14 points a game. The only team with an offense that is worse than the Bengals is the Cleveland Browns, who ironically beat the Bengals 20-12. The 2000 version did not fare much better as they finished 29th overall averaging 266 yard per game scoring just under 12 points a game. They were held pointless for two of the first 3 games and were only able to muster a game high 16 points during the first 5 loses. Fortunately, that is not the case this season as the Bengals have not been shut out and were able to score a season high 23 points against the New York Giants.
The 2002 Bengals offense, considered the worst team in franchise history, finished with a better total offense ranking 18th overall averaging 279 yards per game and scoring just over 17 points a game. Despite the increase in yardage output and average scoring, it did not translate on the scoreboard early in the season as they were held to 7 or less points 5 of the first 6 games of the season. The offense was able to muster 21 points against the Indianapolis Colts in week 5 to break up the string.
Throughout the years of frustration, including the previous decade prior to this, the defense has been considered the biggest problem. They seem to never be able to perform up to expectation and somehow find a way to lose a game that should be winnable. And this season seems to be no different after allowing the New York Giants to complete two big passes in overtime setting up the game winning field goal and letting the Dallas Cowboys score to go up 9 points with less than two minutes go. But is this season's defense better than the scores indicate and the previous seasons mentioned earlier?
This year's defense is currently ranked 19th overall, which is a higher ranking than the defense that participated in the Bengals last playoff game. Currently, opponents are scoring at a rate of nearly 24 points a game, which is 21st in the league. The 2000 defense, which finished the season ranked 22nd giving up nearly 343 yard per game, allowed less than 23 points a game. The 2002 defense, part of the worst team in franchise history, actually improved over the 2000 defense to finish the season 17th yielding 329 yards per game. Despite the improvement in overall defense, they finished last in scoring defense letting opponents score 28 points a game setting the second highest points total allowed for the franchise.
What does all this mean? The season is only 5 weeks old, allowing for teams to continue to improve and potentially make an unprecedented runs towards playoff spots. However, no team has ever started a season 0-5 and made the playoffs, and based on recent history, this year will not be the exception. With the talent this Bengals team has, one could imagine that this will not become part of the recent miserable history and they will work to finish respectable. But if history is an indicator of the future, be prepared for a continuation of the same.

11Kate Middleton's First Photo After Giving Birth; Looks Flawless
Kate Middleton gave birth to a healthy baby boy yesterday and the first photo of her is out! Of COURSE she looks flawless. Would you even doubt it? Her hair, as usual, is perfect. People are flipping out that Kate Middleton is wearing polka dots because Princess Diana ALSO wore polka dots when she left the hospital, after giving birth to Prince William in 1982, so obviously this means something and cannot be ignored.
After posing for photos, Prince William actually secured their new baby in his car seat himself and they drove home, like any other normal couple. That's pretty cute. Here's another photo of the happy couple with their priceless kid:
And here's Diana in her polka dot dress with Prince Charles and baby William in 1982.
Guys be honest, do you care about The Royals? There are no wrong answers.

I didn't get the memo. Why are these monarch figureheads important again? Why are people obsessed with them? When can we go back to NOT hearing about them?
Says the person viewing a site filled with news about pointless celebrities every day.
I don't see why people get pissed off about posts about the royal family. They're famous, and, more importantly, they're not stupid about it. This is a gossip site… you can't bitch about Lindsay Lohan on one end of the spectrum and shit like Prince William on the other, that's just… if neither of these things entertain you, why the fuck are you here?
Personally, I get pissed off because with my taxes I support two royal families. Knowing people in Britain and Spain, where I pay taxes, are starving while these fuckwits get to live in a palace grinds my gears. At least Lindsay Lohan worked to become a famous trainwreck, you feel me?
Every country pays for its head of state. Nobody in Britain or Spain is starving.
And yes, most countries pay as much for their elected head of state and all the things that come with it. But few earn so much in tourism dollars as a result, or have our history, identity, tradition.
The British monarchy currently has an approval rating of +90%. If you hate it so much why don't you just **** off to a republic?
This is an interesting essay/slide show about polka dots:
I venture no opinions about what it means – the princesses both wearing blue polka dot dresses leaving the hospital after giving birth…..
Most people like seeing newborns or hearing about newborn babies.
I don't care about them, but what a cute picture.
I, personally, am on the conspiracy train that Kate actually had the baby a few (maybe 2) days prior to the roll-out. She practically hopped around and that baby was bigger than 24 hours old. I'm not the biggest Kate fan, but good for them if they took some time for themselves. Now they can get back to vacations and whatever else they do.
The Queen did not shape shift into a wolf or a reptile eat the baby, so who cares? :D
I suspect I am not the only person in the USA who does not give a hoot about the royal family at all. I think the time for Kings-Queens-Princesses and Princes were once necessary but are no longer needed.

KENNEWICK, Wash.-- Over fifty men came out to the free prostate screenings at the Northwest Cancer Clinic in Kennewick Saturday.
Six physicians donated their time to screen men for the cancer that will kill twenty-six thousand men this year.
Men had their blood drawn and a physical exam. The testing is called PSA and with statistics showing that one in six men will get prostate cancer in their lifetime, doctors are urging men to get checked.
"PSA testing can detect these cancers, at least suspect that a cancer is present very very early. It's been responsible for saving hundreds of thousands of men's lives," says Peter Grimm, physician.
Doctors say men over sixty are at greatest risk and should be tested regularly. With the Baby Boomer generation reaching that age the number of men getting prostate cancer is rising.

Update from White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs
Published on Wednesday, 30 November -0001 00:00
Hits: 0
March 27, 2009 From the Daily Press Briefing Let me start with a couple of announcements and I'll give you a rundown of the President's thoughts on the meeting that he just finished. As you all know, the Vice President arrived today for a four-day trip to South and Central America, to consult with Latin American leaders gathered in Chile and Costa Rica to discuss the upcoming Summit of the Americas. He's on the trip with Dr. Jill Biden. In Chile, the Vice President will attend the Progressive Governance Conference with several Latin American and European heads of state, and hold bilateral meetings with leaders. In Costa Rica, the Vice President will hold a bilateral meeting with the President before participating in a multilateral meeting with Central American leaders. He returns to Washington, D.C. late Monday evening. Secondly, let me give you just a quick rundown on the situation in North Dakota and in Minnesota. The White House is actively monitoring the impacts of the flooding in North Dakota and Minnesota. As you know, the President approved a major disaster declaration for the state of North Dakota on March 24th, and last night the President approved an emergency declaration for the state of Minnesota. On the ground, the federal government continues to actively coordinate with state and local governments in both states to address the ongoing flood fight. This effort has been underway since late last week. FEMA, the Army Corps of Engineers, the Coast Guard, the National Guard, and other federal agencies, as well as the American Red Cross, have been--continue the actively work with these officials to ensure their needs are being met. Federal support is being provided up and down the Red River. Nancy Ward, the Acting FEMA Administrator, is on the ground currently in Fargo, and directly talking with federal, state and local officials to ensure that federal assistance is provided to support the response to the flooding. The President this morning talked with Governor Hoeven, Governor Pawlenty, and Fargo Mayor Dennis Walaker today to discuss his concern for the residents of North Dakota and Minnesota, and to ensure that the states are getting the federal assistance they need to supplement any state and local efforts. Secretary Napolitano has been in contact with state and local officials to express her support, and she also briefed the President this morning on the latest developments. This is important--we cannot reinforce enough the importance for residents in both states remain vigilant in monitoring the reports of flood crests and to follow the instructions from their state and local leaders in the event that evacuations in their local areas become necessary. And again, the President continues to be impressed with ongoing efforts of thousands of volunteers as they continue to work to protect their community.

Obviously, we ride. But where? And when? This page is structured like an FAQ of sorts.
The club has a Strava page where current and former members post rides they've done. You can also track performances on individual Strava segments to further enhance your riding.
The heatmap is a general look at where people ride more commonly. You can use this to get an idea of some of the rides we do, no matter whether on or off-road. Best yet, combine different segments to make your own ride!
Ride files
In the past, club members mapped rides using MapMyRide. These are the most common rides.
In short, members ride when they feel like it.
For prospective competitors, there is no set ride or practice schedule unlike some other sports. Collegiate cycle racing is broken up into categories based on experience and ability; often times you would be riding and racing with others of similar category.
Rides are often posted on the mailing list. They contain relevant information such as route, pace and drop ride or not. Most rides are no-drop, but the more workout-oriented ones tend to be drop rides. Unless otherwise specified, the default location where rides leave is Rec Hall.
Speed ride
The speed ride is a drop ride focusing on riding as hard and fast as possible. It meets most Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m. at a barn near the corner of Nixon and Whitehall Roads, not at Rec Hall. This is because this ride is an open State College area ride rather than a PSU Cycling ride. Some club members choose to gather some others at Rec Hall and then ride over to the barn some time before the official start, however. This ride may not happen when inclement weather threatens.
MTB Fun Ride
This is traditionally called the "Friday Fun Ride", but this semester the more experienced MTBers most likely leading the ride have conflicts during the traditional time, so some weeks this ride will happen on Thursday instead. This is a no-drop ride intended for MTBers of all abilities to enjoy their craft together. By default, meet on the IST bridge at 5:30 p.m. to ride over to the Accuweather trails or the Scotia Range.

Funeral arrangements are incomplete at Johnson-Danielson Funeral Home, Plymouth.

BREMEN — Nina M. Trump, 86, of Bremen, passed away Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2013, at 12:05 a.m., at her home, with her loving family by her side.
Nina was born Feb. 14, 1927, in Plymouth, to Russell and Ethel (Gray) Shafer. Nina married Roy D. Trump on March 10, 1946, in Plymouth. Roy passed away Dec. 30, 2009. Nina was a homemaker, a loving wife, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was a member of the Shiloh Wesleyan Church, where she had been an active member, since she and Roy were married.
PLYMOUTH — When you think of a dangerous work environment, a hospital probably isn't the first place that pops into your mind.
But the Indiana Department of Labor released statistics earlier this month that point to health care as having the second highest worker injury and illness rates in the state. The DOL launched a statewide safety program to reduce some of these issues February 5.
WALKERTON — Jimtown royalty will take the reins of the John Glenn football team next season.
David Sharpe, son of longtime former Jimmies football coach Bill Sharpe, was announced Tuesday as the Falcons' new head coaching hire.
PLYMOUTH — Plymouth's Pilgrims once again proved that there is order in chaos as they ended their regular season with a 64-35 win over John Glenn at home Tuesday night.
Glenn played a masterful first half, responding cooly to Plymouth's trademark pressure and forcing the Pilgrims to play a halfcourt game that is not their forte. There was no lack of Plymouth effort, but it was Glenn taking advantage of nearly every opportunity.
BREMEN — Mishawaka Marian senior Demetrius Jackson's jersey number seemed appropriate Tuesday.
If most good high school ballplayers can turn their games up to 10 in a close contest, his goes all the way up to 11.
With the Lions hanging around for three quarters, the Notre Dame signee and McDonald's All American took it to another level in the final frame at Bremen, scoring 15 of his game-high 28 points during a 27-15 fourth quarter that put the home team away 81-61.
ARGOS — The Argos Dragons lost a close one to the Manchester Squires at Phil Weybright Gymnasium Tuesday, 58-56.
The Dragons started the game in a 6-0 hole, getting beat on some backdoor cuts, but managed to keep the game close in the first quarter, only trailing 14-11.
Manchester started the second quarter on a tear, going on an 11-3 run, taking away any sort of energy the Dragons had. The Squires maintained that lead through much of the second quarter, but Argos was able to score the final four points in the half, closing the gap to 31-23.

Oregon-Davis hung tough for a quarter, but LaVille held the Bobcats to just four points over the second and third quarters to run away with an eventual 55-25 win at home at Dale E. Cox Gymnasium Tuesday.
The Lancers led by a tentative 15-13 margin at the first quarter break, but the home team went on a 36-4 tear over the next two frames en route to its third straight win, a streak that started with a big double overtime victory over Mishawaka Marian last Tuesday.

The city of Los Angeles is offering a $1 million reward for information leading to the capture and conviction of Christopher Dorner, a former LAPD officer who is suspected of killing three people.
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced the reward during a news conference Sunday, Feb. 10. He said the money comes from several sources, including the Riverside City Council, the San Bernardino Board of Supervisors, law enforcement unions and employee groups statewide, and private donors.
People with tips about Dorner's whereabouts may call 213-486-6860. As he is still considered armed and extremely dangerous, anyone who thinks they see him should call 911 immediately.
"This is the largest local reward ever offered to my knowledge," said Charlie Beck, chief of the Los Angeles Police Department.
The goal of the reward is to turn out a new lead, according to city of Riverside Mayor William "Rusty" Bailey.
"Our hope is that this reward will bring expedited closure to this tragic situation, and that someone with specific knowledge will bring that forward for a hasty and peaceful resolution," he said.
Bailey also urged Dorner to turn himself in. "We stand here today in solidarity to ask Christopher Dorner to surrender without further loss of life," he said.
In remarks laced with religions references, Bailey said that God would demand justice for the suspect.
"There will be a day of reckoning, in this world or the next," he said.
Several officials said the search will not end until Dorner is captured.
"This is not about capturing a fleeing suspect. This is about preventing a future crime, likely a murder," Beck said. "Every day that Dorner is loose, the likelihood of an attack of either a uniformed police officer or a family of a police officer is (more) likely."
At the conference, Sergio Diaz, the chief of the Riverside Police Department, announced the name of the slain Riverside PD officer as Michael Crain. A funeral is planned for him at 10:30 a.m.Wednesday, Feb. 13 at Grove Community Church, 19900 Grove Community Drive in Riverside. Click here for more details on the funeral.
"Wednesday, we are going to lay to rest for the final time our brother, and our brother is Michael Crain," Diaz said.
Crain was a husband, father, baseball coach, classic car lover and an 11-year veteran of the Riverside PD. You can read more about him in this story.

WVDE News
WVDE Receives $6.1 Million Reading First Grant
Posted: July 21, 2003
CHARLESTON, W.Va. � The West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) will receive $6.1 million for the first year of a multi-year Reading First grant to help schools and districts improve children�s reading achievement through scientifically proven methods of instruction. Over six years, the state will receive approximately $43.8 million in support, subject to the state�s successful implementation and congressional appropriations.
Karen Johnson, assistant secretary of Legislation and Congressional Affairs at the U.S. Department of Education, made the announcement this morning, along with Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito and State Superintendent of Schools Dr. David Stewart joined her.
�Show me a child who didn�t learn to read, and I�ll show you an adult who has suffered the consequences,� Johnson said. �Reading is fundamental to everything we do. It�s the building blocks to a quality education and a wholesome life.�
Beverly Kingery, English/Language Arts Coordinator with the WVDE, spearheaded the grant application process for West Virginia. The state�s application passed a rigorous review panel that judged the plan against 25 main review criteria. The grant will support key improvements in classroom reading instruction, including teaching based on what research shows works, early identification and help for reading difficulties, monitoring student progress and continuous, high-quality professional development for teachers. States will create a statewide infrastructure to steer reform and help school districts that will receive funding under a state-run competition for district subgrants.
�When the West Virginia Board of Education passed its seven refined goals in 2000, it made teaching all children to read as its number two goal,� said Stewart. �Since then, we have emphasized reading at all levels, but this will help us enhance and utilize the latest in reading education.�
West Virginia plans to hold a competition for eligible school districts to compete for subgrants this summer, with the state planning to support some 40 schools in those districts. As part of its professional development plan, the state will hold weeklong sessions that will provide intensive training in scientifically based reading instruction for all K-3 teachers and K-12 special educators. These professional development sessions will provide intensive training on classroom reading instruction based on scientific research, so that teachers learn to tailor instruction around sound, research-based information.
�Reading is fundamental for every stand of education,� Stewart noted. �The earlier we teach children to read, the better their performance will be throughout their education.�
Reading First was passed into law by a bipartisan majority of Congress under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 and centers on the following priorities: �raising the caliber and quality of classroom instruction; �basing instruction on scientifically proven methods; �providing professional training for educators in reading instruction; and �supplying substantial resources to support the unprecedented initiative.
State applications undergo a rigorous review by a panel of reading experts, selected by the Secretary of Education, the National Institute for Literacy, the National Research Council and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. Successful states will receive funds under a formula.
A list of estimated state grants for FY 2002, FY 2003 and under President Bush�s budget request for FY2004 is available at: http://www.ed.gov/offices/OUS/Budget04/04StateTables/04stbypr.pdf.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Final Prayer Variation starts on the North Facing wall at the west end of the Watchtower. It comes right out of the stream bed. It starts on the left end of this wall, clips a new bolt and then angles further left to a pin. From here it angles back right to a nice hand ledge and up and over to some chains a bit further right. Aside from the rambling nature, it is a very good route with some fun moves. A reachy crux, after the pin. The book calls this a 5.10a, maybe I am getting older and weaker or maybe it's just Ferguson, but I felt this was harder than that.
1 bolt and a pin. A really small cam can back up the pin, and above that there is a large enough horizontal crack for a #1 Camalot, and one more smaller cam or medium nut would help. Long runners are neccesary as well. Chains at the top for a rappel.

[Correction] An earlier version of this story misidentified the suspect Humza Bajwa as a Fordham student. He is not. Victim David Emami's last name also was incorrectly spelled.
The bizarre robbery happened after the accused, Humza Bajwa (above, as pictured today on the New York Post's website), first tried to buy the Runescape currency with what appeared to be counterfeit money. David Emami said he was acting on behalf of his friend, Jonathan Dokler, who was at home monitoring the deal on a cell phone waiting for Emani's confirmation that the deal was legitimate, and to transfer the coins.
Even after the first deal fell apart, Dokler still wanted to sell Bajwa the coins, so a second one was arranged. This time Emami flatly told Bajwa his money was counterfeit. That's when Bajwa whipped out a pellet gun that looked like a real handgun and put it to Emani's head, the Post reported.
"I couldn't believe I was about to get shot over RuneScape," he told the Post. He was ordered to call Dokler and tell him to transfer the 4.7 billion coins, worth about $3,000 in real world money, even though Runescape's maker officially prohibits gold selling. Dokler gave over the coins, and after an investigation, Bajwa was arrested at his Massachusetts home.
Bajwa has been charged with second degree robbery, which carries a 15-year maximum sentence if convicted. The Post of course, already calls him a video game addict. Probably the most laughable quote comes from Dokler, the guy who didn't have a fake gun put to his head in a demand for fake money. "I'm not terribly surprised [by the robbery attempt] because the coins are pretty much as good as cash," he told the Post. You know, you never hear about a Runescape coin deal gone good, do you?

Since we broke up…
I've been nothing but heartless to the ones I've cared for. It must be the direct route straight back to the pain I felt. Taking for granted and dismissing when they simply wish to help. I truly don't care about what I do to anybody else. Misplaced and misjudged like the lost books from the shelf. Nobody will understand from which I fell. Nobody will ever know the stories I'm composed of inside myself.

Hurricane team ups season forecast
By Eliot Kleinberg
Posted 9:50 a.m., Aug. 3, 2012
The Colorado State University hurricane forecasting team has bumped by a little its forecast for 2012, while still calling for slightly below-average numbers for the rest of the season because of evidence that an El Niño event is developing.
On Friday, the team predicted 14 named storms, with six becoming hurricanes and two becoming major hurricanes, of at least Category 3 on the Saffir-Simpson scale, with top sustained winds of at least 111 mph.
In June, it had predicted 13, five and two. And in April, it forecast 10, four and two. The historical average (1981-2010) is 12, 6-1/2, and two.
In May, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Climate Prediction Center called for a 70 percent chance that the season will produce nine to 15 named storms, with four to eight becoming hurricanes and one to three major hurricanes. NOAA issues an updated forecast next Thursday, Aug. 9.
The Colorado State forecast includes the five storms that already have formed; the latest, Ernesto, gained tropical storm status Thursday.
Forecasters always stress that the value of such seasonal predictions is mostly scientific, since they never say that no hurricanes will strike, and everyone should prepare for the one storm that would strike them.
In upping the forecast, team member Phil Klotzbach cited "a combination of uncertainty in El Niño" — the phenomenon that tends to hinder storm formation — "as well as slightly more favorable tropical Atlantic conditions. Still, the probability of U.S. major hurricane landfall and Caribbean major hurricane activity for the remainder of the 2012 season is estimated to be slightly below its long-period average."
The team now is calling for a 48 percent chance a major hurricane will make a U.S. landfall, not far from the historical average of 52 percent, as well as a 28 percent chance for the east coast, including the Florida Peninsula, which is about the same as the historical average of 31 percent.

Fellow MMA fans, a barn-burner of a showdown is coming your way courtesy of the insanely talent rich 155 lb. division of the UFC. Two of the organization's hottest prospects, Bobby Green and Abel Trujillo, will be facing off come early February, in what could easily turn out to be a fight of the year candidate. Though neither fighter is currently ranked, rest assured, these are names you will be hearing a lot more of in years to come. In addition to the fact that both fighters seem possessed of immense talent and potential, the stylistic match-up is enough to make Bruce Buffer's suit wrinkle. We're in for a treat.
Bobby Green is undefeated in his young UFC career, tapping Jacob Volkman and decision-ing the formerly ranked Pat Healy. Having demonstrated the ability to hang with and defend against some of the best grappling in the division, Green has also showcased constantly improving strikes, nimble footwork and head-movement that Pernell Whitaker would approve of. He well-rounded, exciting, adaptable and downright crafty.
Abel Trujillo, though equally deserving of a nuanced explanation of his broad skill set, could be described, simply, as an absolute BEAST. Probably one of the biggest and strongest LW in the UFC, Trujillo has displayed unsurpassed raw physical gifts, endurance and relentlessness. I was impressed with Trujillo's debut in the UFC (a stoppage of Marcus LeVesseur) and he has improved dramatically since then. Training with Henry Joost and kickboxing phenom Tyron Spong (two of the best names in MMA… literally, I mean they have cool sounding names) at the Blackzilians camp (another cool name) has obviously done wonders for his Thai Boxing game, which looked absolutely stellar in his recent domination of Roger Bowling. As I watched Trujillo transition from leg kicks to knees from the clinch to punches to a takedown to vicious GNP back to his feet to deliver a seamless knee to the gut of a bewildered Bowling, all I could think is that this is a guy who is putting it all together. Abel's game is scary complete at this early stage of his young career.
So, how does it unfold? What makes this match-up so fun is how different, yet well-matched these two are in every single category. Green's pin point striking and elusive head movement have served him well thus far, but against strikers far less fierce and fast as Trujillo. He's not going to be able to play that game as easily against Abel who is going to be coming forward with explosive combinations. Green might be the more savvy grappler, but Trujillo's strength may be enough to neutralize that. Trujillo's Kickboxing has come so far so quick, its hard to predict just how good it might be by the time February rolls around.
However it goes down, I expect to see the battle go from standing to the mat and back again on multiple occasions. One thing is for sure, we will be treated to an epic display of well-rounded MMA skill, fueled by the hunger of two young pre-superstars with big plans. Miss it at your own peril.

A possible breakthrough has been reached for the hairless men and women. Researchers have for the first time been able to generate new human hairs. Dr. Christopher Hubbell of Acadiana Dermatologist said, "The current methodology for hair loss that is caused by genetics is typically medical, rub on medicines and some medicines by mouth that are meant to slow down the hair in terms of miniaturization. So it makes it stay around thicker a little bit longer."
Doctors are also able to stimulate hair volume and growth but there is currently, no knowledge or technology that allows them to grow new hairs. Which is where the new research comes in to effect.
The studies were done by taking cells from the hair follicle of humans and transplanting them into human skin that was grafted onto mice says Kristie Kennedy M. D., LLC.
Prior to that transplant, researchers discovered that follicle cells need to be in three dimensional contact with each other while growing. Then the bottom of the follicle, also know as the papilla is cut, and grown within a drop, allowing them to clump together and reactivate the genetic memory.
The technique has not been perfectly for humans yet. But the positive thing was they were able to amplify the number of hairs, where as before we could only stimulate a little bit of growth in existing hairs or slow down the loss of existing hairs, said Dr Hubbell.

CATEGORIES Documentary, ThinkFilm, Celebrities and Controversy, Distribution, Cinematical Indie, Movies, CinematicalGrowing up in suburban Los Angeles, I knew Roman Polanski as a celebrity long before I knew his work as a film director. The murder of his wife by the Manson Family in 1969 and his controversial rape case in 1977 were well covered in the media, and I formed strong negative opinions about him, especially after he fled the US in 1978.
Still, I'd heard such interesting things about Marina Zenovich's doc Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired -- including Erik Davis' excellent, measured review from Sundance -- that I made sure to tune in when it premiered on HBO on Monday night after an extremely-limited theatrical qualifying run in New York and Los Angeles.
Before the broadcast, Slate reported that HBO changed the ending after Los Angeles Superior Courts officials complained. The Los Angeles Times published a similar story on Tuesday. Erik described what he saw at Sundance: "Perhaps the most fascinating fact (and this was something I did not know) came in the reveal that, when a new judge was assigned to the case in 1997, he agreed to throw out the charges if Polanski were to return to the States -- on one condition: that the hearing be televised. Because of that, Polanski decided against coming back."
The officials claimed the condition that the case be televised was a fabrication. Not so, according to the attorneys involved: both the prosecution and defense lawyers say the documentary was correct: "It is our shared view that Monday's false and reprehensible statement by the Los Angeles Superior Court continues their inappropriate handling of the Polanski case." More coverage can be found at LA Observed; Anne Thompson at Variety has an excellent roundup.
Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired may not change your mind about Polanski as a person, but it is a fascinating look inside the criminal justice system. ThinkFilm is planning a theatrical release, starting in New York on July 11, no doubt with a DVD release down the road.

News: G. Dep Explains Accidental Fatal Shooting, Claims He Pulled Back
Friday, Sep 20, 2013 8:50PM
Incarcerated rapper G. Dep speaks on the fatal 1993 shooting of a New York man which ultimately cost him a 15 years to life prison sentence in an interview later tonight (September 20).
According to Dep, he did not have any intent on killing slain New Yorker John Henkel in a botched robbery.
Coleman dropped out of college at age 18 in search of a music career. He funded recording sessions by selling cocaine on the streets of Harlem, N.Y. He dabbled in drugs himself, and for $500, he bought a gun. In fall 1993, a month before his 19th birthday, Coleman used that gun to mug a stranger, he said. "He was standing under the scaffolding on Park Avenue, 114th street. ... I was riding my bike," he recalled. "I told him, 'Give me the money.' ... He was kind of, you know, unresponsive." Then, Coleman said, the stranger started coming towards him. "The guy grabbed the gun, and I pulled the gun back and that's when I fired," he said. "And the guy winced and I didn't know what happened." (ABC News)
Instead of holding onto the murder weapon, Dep said he ditched it in a nearby river.
Coleman said he fired three times and then fled on his bike, telling no one what had happened. As he left home the next morning, the police were canvasing the neighborhood and stopped him on the street. "They said, 'Do you know anything about a shooting that occurred yesterday?' And I said, 'Nah,'" Coleman said. "That made me think he didn't pass away, because they said 'shooting.'" A week later, Coleman said, he threw the gun into the East River. He stayed quiet about the Harlem shooting for four years and poured himself into his music. (ABC News)
Last year, Dep argued he already spent nearly 20 years living with the dark secret he killed a man.
The jury's decision to convict Coleman pushed both his wife and his mother to tears. But when Coleman returned to Rikers and got on the telephone, nobody could believe how he sounded. "He's like, 'Hey, how you doing, man?'?" says Jonathan "Kwame" Owusu, who was his manager. "He was upbeat. It didn't make any sense." Three weeks later, a judge sentenced him to fifteen years to life. "I was happy," Coleman recalls. "It sounds crazy to say you were happy about getting a fifteen-to-life sentence, but I was. It just seemed to me like the end of a nightmare ... I was living in 1993 for seventeen years." (NY Mag)
Over summer 2012, reports surfaced which claimed Dep had plans to put out an autobiography in the near future.
In this passage the imprisoned MC tells a disturbing tale from his youth. One day, 10-year-old Coleman found a gun while playing with his friends near Harlem's notorious James Weldon Johnson housing projects. Dep vividly recounts the details of the exciting yet horrifying day, and of his adolescent crew's plans to cash in on the score. Moreover, he does it all in verse form. (This would definitely make an ill audio book.) (Complex)
Back in May 2012, the incarcerated rapper discussed getting 15 years to life on a murder conviction.
G.Dep told The New York Post from Rikers, where he awaits transfer, that he felt he acted responsibly when he walked into a Harlem precinct two years ago and told police officers he shot a man in 1993. He said he wanted to clear his conscience. "Maybe at the end of serving time or after looking back, someone might feel differently," G. Dep told the paper. "But now I feel what I did was right." The rapper says his wife, who initially discouraged him from confessing, is beginning to understand why he came clean. He also told the Post he believes his daughter understands his decision -- and his sons are as aware of his circumstances at they can be at just five years old. (NBC New York)
Following the news, New York producer Dame Grease hit up SOHH with his reaction.
"I know G. Dep personally," Grease told SOHH. "Even though probably after [confessing] he was sick about it, the whole confession was just a thing to clear his soul. I look at things differently, you know what I'm saying? When you see a man going through things, you can see something's weighing down on him. I guess that was the thing. I just wish him all the best of luck. He's got good fans, good friends and support for during his bid. He's a good guy, overall. Hopefully he'll get out on an early release." (SOHH)

The board of directors of the LNRA are meeting tomorrow, April 21, at 7:30 am sharp. If you want to get involved, please attend. The board is comprised of good people, all Jackson County residents. It is important they know how the community and even those outside of the community feel about damming up the last free flowing river in Texas.April 20, 2010 at 5:55 a.m.
The other option is an off-channel reservoir (a big pond off in a pasture somewhere). You can read all about it here http://www.regionltexas.org/2011_RegW....April 19, 2010 at 7:35 p.m.
"They're stuck on the fact that they think the board wants to dam the river," he said. "We're looking at two options, and they think we're looking more at damming the river more than the other. That's not true."April 19, 2010 at 12:57 p.m.
Surely there was enough space to serve up an explanation of what the 'other option' of the study is....why didn't you ask this question Advocate?? A feasability study is a feasability study is a feasability study. If you're not interested in building a dam, then why do a feasability study? I call BS!

A California boy returned from a family vacation last month with an unusual souvenir when a sea snail egg grew and hatched inside his knee.Paul Franklin's parents admit they did not think much of it when their 4-year-old son scraped his knee while playing on the beach during a recent camping trip. His father, Ken Franklin, said they cleaned it up and put a band-aid on it.But he said, a couple of weeks later, his son's knee became swollen and infected.Paul's parents took him to the doctor who prescribed antibiotics with fears that his wound was badly infected with a dangerous strain of Staph. The antibiotics helped but the wound failed to heal. That's when Paul's mother, Rachael, said she had enough when she came home one day and discovered that her son's knee had ballooned to the size of an orange.Then last Thursday, Rachael noticed the spot on Paul's knee was turning black. After close examination, she decided to drain the wound. That's when she got a shock.Paul's mother said she pulled out a weird looking rock that had swirls on it from her son's knee, but when she turned it over, that's when she noticed it was a sea snail.Despite the unnerving ordeal, Paul's parents say they are relieved. They also say Paul's wound is almost completely healed.

Whether it's welcoming Pirlo to the Amazon, a bit of father's day football, or celebrating a rematch of the World Cup final, Google have created unique homepage animations for every match.
Two years of travel. Two years of play. Filmmaker Guillaume Blanchet has journeyed across the world with a ball at his feet. Through sand, grass, concrete and snow, the ball always bounced back. And thankfully, Guillaume brought his camera along for the ride.
While they won't be lifting any cups with 800 million people watching, Eight by Eight Magazine have gone all out to do the world's biggest sporting event justice in their new World Cup issue.
While the protests that took place during last summer's Confederations Cup were overwhelming and affecting, recent news out of Brazil suggests that what we saw last year might have only been a precursor to a larger movement set to convene just as the World Cup looks to kick off in less than two weeks.
From teachers to doctors, artists to indigenous populations, the Brazilian population is once again uniting against a perceived neglect on the part of the Brazilian government. With taxpayer funds gone missing, local businesses shunned in favor of multinational conglomerates, and many Brazilians left in an unstable position as both housing costs and forceful evictions increase, Brazilians are angry, and rightfully so.
But while last summer's protests focused upon mass gatherings as a primary means to garner international attention, organizers and frustrated Barzilians have shifted tactics, utilizing a variety of platforms to spread their message. And what could be more arresting for visitors to Brazil than anti-World Cup graffiti in the cities hosting matches?
Here's to Brazilians taking a stand and making their voices heard. In any way possible. [Posted by Maxi]
There was no better way to finish the season. The trophy drought came to a close, and London turned red for a weekend that millions of Gooners will remember. Arsené lifted the cup once again, and the professor will carry on at the club that he's built in the 21st century.
However, there was one era that came to a close. For 20 years, Arsenal have been sponsored by Nike. But the FA Cup final was the last match of the Gunners representing the swoosh. To celebrate the partnership with a touch of nostalgia, Nike are releasing a limited edition kit that takes aspects of some of the most iconic designs from the past two decades.
Regardless of how this season finishes, it's been one to remember for every single Liverpool supporter. To celebrate the past 9 months of Brendan Rodgers' side rising under the likes of Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez, Raheem Sterling, and Daniel Sturridge, artist Richard Swarbrick returns with a new piece for those who never walk alone. Watch the full animation here.
