Mapping Your Domain Name to Work with Blogger
You can establish a more professional identity for your Blogger® blog by configuring it to point to one of the domain names you registered through us. Instead of entering your Blogger URL to view your latest blog post, visitors enter your domain name's URL. For example, by mapping your coolexample.blogspot.com blog to your www.coolexample.com domain name, visitors focus solely on your domain name.
To point your Blogger blog to your domain name, you set up domain name mapping, which configures your blog settings and domain name. You update your settings in your Blogger account and our DNS Zone File:
- Park the domain name you want to use with your Blogger account on our parked nameservers. For more information, see Parking Your Domain Name.
- Edit the www CNAME record for the domain name you want to use with your Blogger account. This update tells the Web browser to open your Blogger blog when visitors enter your domain name's URL in the browser address bar. You can automatically configure your DNS with this tool.
- Forward your domain name to use www. This step ensures your Blogger blog displays for visitors who go to your domain name with or without the www prefix. For example, it displays for visitors who entered both www.coolexample.com and coolexample.com.
- Configure your Blogger account to use your domain name.
To Edit Your CNAME Record
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- Next to Domains, click Launch.
- Click the domain you want to use, and then select the DNS Zone File tab.
- Click Add Record.
- Select CNAME (Alias)for the Record type.
- Click the www record.
- In the Points To field, type ghs.google.com.
- Click Save, and then click Save Changes.
To Configure Your Blogger Account
- Log in to your Blogger account.
- From the Settings tab, select Basic.
- From Publishing, click Add custom domain.
- Click Switch to Advanced Settings, and then enter your domain name. For example, enter www.coolexample.com.

Michael Lombardi: Ronnie Brown may be on trade block
By Brian Biggane
Spoke with former NFL executive and National Football Post columnist Michael Lombardi today about his Sunday column that says the Dolphins may be making running back Ronnie Brown available "for the right price."
Lombardi points to Brown's nine games of rushing for 50 yards or less last season and said that's not enough in a Bill Parcells-Tony Sparano-Dan Henning system that emphasizes success through the running game.
"Every back has to meet the needs of the system that back is in," he said. "There are times when (Brown) doesn't fit the needs of what they want to do in Miami … If you watch the tape, there are times when Ricky Williams (was) probably their best back. You just can't overuse him."
If the Dolphins are considering trading Brown, there are a lot of factors in the equation. One is he's still less than two years removed from ACL surgery, and while his comeback season was excellent, one wonders if there won't be long-term effects. Also, he's coming up for a new contract after one more season, and if he produces he'll be in for a significant pay increase from the $3.6 million he'll be making in the final year of his deal in 2009.
But word is apparently out that he's available. Said another NFL insider: "I know they would like to trade him as he goes into the final year of his contract."
Any team that trades for him would probably have to tear up the rest of his deal and give him a new contract for perhaps as much as twice the current one. They'd really have to be in love with him to do that.
Brown carried 214 times for 916 yards last season, a 4.3-yard average, and had 10 touchdowns.
One has to wonder about the Ricky Williams comments, however. Williams seemed to have lost a step last season, and with him turning 32 next month, he won't be getting it back.
When asked about the play of what was for the most part a so-so offensive line in front of Brown, Lombardi replied, "It's a chicken and egg thing. Are you struggling (to run the ball) because of the back or the line? I don't think the line was that bad.
"Dan Henning has always wanted to run the ball. But it's tough to call runs when you're not having success in the running game."
Finally, Lombardi said this might be the year to go after a running back in the draft.
"When all is said and done and the draft plays out, running back might be the best value on the board. Wide receiver might be a bigger need for them, but the guy they want may not be there, so running back maybe becomes the choice."

What's this all about? 'The X Factor' on a Sunday night, effectively ruining my other plans of sitting around and watching E! all evening? Indeed, it is! Thank you baseball rain delay! Regardless of my plans to catch up with Kendra and Nadia Bjorlin, I sucked it up and tuned into Fox, and I'm glad I did. What I got was another fast paced 'X Factor' filled with 16 more performances from the remaining 32 acts. As Steve Jones said at the top of the show, "It's time to face the music!" Steve is so dramatic! I got chills.
To start things off, there was an in-depth recap of what happened during part one of the Judges' Home round. There were brief looks back at the 16 performances and what the judges said about each one. Then the show reminded everyone which judge had what category of contestants and where each category was performing geographically. Then they told me that the judges had hand selected each song the acts would sing for them at their homes. This cleared things up from part one. Either I missed the fact the judges were selecting the songs, or I was so involved with watching for Caitlin Koch that I completely ignored the fact. But I'm glad to have it all cleared up.
The first performance of the show took us to France and Simon Cowell's girls' group. Jazzlyn Little had been noticeably scared, to the point of near petrification, in each of her performances up to this point. Would she have her nerves calmed? Not even close. Jazzlyn was so scared to sing her remixed version of "I Will Survive" that she was shaking. I felt really sorry for her because I think she's a pretty fantastic singer. Even though she was shaking, when Jazzlyn opened her mouth to sing, it was amazing. She has swagger, a great tone and a great look. It's hard to believe she's only 16. And she made it through the entire song without letting her nerves get the best of her. Simon thought she was good, but his assistant judge, vocal coach Savan Kotecha, thought Jazzlyn was a little too high school talent show. I can see that, but I think she's fantastic nonetheless.
Next at bat was Brennin Hunt from LA Reid's boys' group, performing for LA and guest judge Rihanna in the Hamptons. During Brennin's first audition, Nicole was making goo goo eyes at him, and he basically came across as someone who knew he was hot and played it to his advantage. So, what song did producers decide to play in the background of Brennin's story? LMFAO's "Sexy And I Know It." How fitting. All he needed to do was a little wiggle wiggle and the night would have been done. For some reason, Brennin bugs me. I think he might be on the wrong reality show. He seems like he should be on 'The Bachelor,' vying for the attention of Vienna Girardi and her crazy eye. But, he's not on 'The Bachelor.' He's on 'The X Factor,' which didn't stop Rihanna from checking him out…up and down. Brennin sang his song, and while he sings well, something about him just comes across as fake to me. Rihanna seemed to agree with me. "I think he's beautiful…but he's a little corny," Rihanna said. "He gives me 90s boy band." Step by step indeed, Rihanna!
The first group out of the gate for the night was The Stereo Hogzz, who performed in front of Paula Abdul and her assistant judge, Pharrell Williams in Santa Barbara. The Stereo Hogzz were dressed a little T-Bird like for their performance. I really wanted them to sing "Greased Lightnin'," just to make my experience complete. However, they did not. In fact, it seemed like only one of the five group members actually sings. That could be a problem, especially when you're trying to lock down a group chemistry. They did have really good choreography, though. But choreography alone won't cut it in a singing contest. It's not 'So You Think You Can Dance.' After they performed, Paula sounded a little like Kermit the Frog when she said, "Well, well well." Pharrell said the Stereo Hogzz were good but, "They have to be a constellation…not just one star." I really liked the way he put it. It summed up their performance incredibly well.
Over at Nicole Scherzinger's "house" in Malibu, the over 30s were performing again for her and guest judge Enrique Iglesias. The first of the night was Burrito Guy, Josh Krajcik. A recap of Josh's prior performances started things off before he took to the microphone and sang his version of Roberta Flack's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face." Josh seemed nervous before he started to sing, but Nicole told him to "Do your thang," which appeared to loosen him up. He seemed a little off at first, and the song seemed a little low for his voice, but toward the middle, Josh shook his nerves and started to tear it up. He's definitely one to watch in the competition. Steve asked Josh, "Is that the performance that will make you stop making burritos for a living?" Josh didn't give a definitive answer, but I don't think he'll be making a burrito again anytime soon.
Back at Paula's, 2 Squar'd took the stage. I don't remember much about this quartet of girls. Mainly because I doubt they make the live shows, so producers figured we wouldn't care that much about them. Plus, they don't really stand out that much, so we could have seen a few clips of them, and I just forgot about them completely in the whole mix of hundreds of contestants and acts. Paula picked Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" for 2 Squar'd to sing. Uh oh. Was it good? Not really. There was one girl in the group who sang all right, but the others were just back up and didn't do much. The one upside is the cohesiveness. The girls did act and look like a group, so they get points in that column.
Country crooner Tim Cifers was next. He cried before he sang because he missed his kids and talked all about how he was auditioning for 'The X Factor' for them. I teared up a little bit because Tim was crying. I really need to stop having emotions. It really ruins my whole façade. Tim sang his version of "Dance With My Father" really well. His eyes even got watery while he was performing. He sounds like Luke Bryan, which is a good thing. I like Luke Bryan a lot and love his voice. It's nice to hear someone with a similar tone. Rihanna thought Tim sounded like a real country singer, but LA wanted Tim to bring more to the table. I'd love to hear Tim more. I hope LA puts him through to the live shows.
Across the Atlantic, Rachel Crow, the youngest contestant left, was about to sing for Simon Cowell. Before she sang, Rachel had the quote of the evening when she said, "Whatever happens, it's going to be epic." She may only be 13, but I think that's a pretty wise statement. I may even make it my life mantra. It doesn't matter what happens in your life, but make sure it's epic. Ah, Rachel. Simon picked The Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way" for Rachel to sing. However, it wasn't the straight out pop version everyone is used to. Rachel sang a darker, ballad version of the song, which I thought was fantastic. Rachel already has the X Factor. She is impressive every time she sings. Her one drawback could be her age, though. Simon might feel like Rachel needs more life experience before she can truly be appreciated as an artist. I don't envy Simon; he has the hardest category to whittle down.
From the youngest contestant in the competition to the oldest. 59-year-old LeRoy Bell was next to sing for Nicole and Enrique. Nicole's song selection for LeRoy was "Make You Feel My Love," originally made famous by Bob Dylan, but most recently brought back into the mainstream by the incomparable Adele. I thought the song choice was the perfect one for LeRoy. His performance was awesome. I want to watch it again now. I got a little choked up during it. Yes, it hit me for some reason. Then again, so does Adele's version of the song right now, which is why I've been sticking to my Euro pop. It doesn't take many brain cells to listen to, and it's all about just dancing and having a good time. After LeRoy sang, Nicole and Enrique debated whether he would be commercially viable as a performer at his age. Nicole thought LeRoy was holding back and that his nerves were getting the best of him. The show made it seem like Nicole won't put him through, but we shall see.

Ready to explore the stylistic expanse of German techno? Join us tomorrow, Friday, May 16th as Beatport Live presents a CLR showcase featuring Drumcell, Emerson, and Monoloc to our cozy Berlin offices.
Rebekah and ESHU come to Beatport Live, tomorrow, Friday the 13th of December
Beatport Live is very excited to announce that techno is in the building this Friday, the 13th of December, with Rebekah & ESHU spinning from our Berlin office.
Perc joins Beatport Live on Friday, February 22
On Friday, February 22, Beatport Live presents UK techno talent Perc. Having gained early recognition for his hit "Up" on Kompakt, Perc went on to catch the ears of Richie Hawtin, Luciano, Chris Liebing, Slam, John Digweed, Green Velvet, Erol Alkan, Steve Lawler, and many more. That critical and peer acclaim led to him being signed to bona fide techno powerhouses like Ovum, Drumcode, and CLR. As well, his own label, Perc Trax, has become a force in itself.
Chris Liebing shows off his live setup; "Producers must hate me."
A couple of weeks back, Frankfurt-based DJ/producer and CLR Records head Chris Liebing stopped through San Francisco for a show at Vessel, but before he did, he offered up some insight into his live performance setup for DJ TechTools. In the video below, Liebing walks us through his complex rig, which features two laptops running Ableton Live, Traktor, and Maschine, two Allen and Heath K2 controllers, and plenty more choice gear and software.
Had Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan not fallen ill on the band's 2009 tour, MOTOR's Man Made Machine album might be an altogether different beast. You see, it was on that tour that MOTOR were playing support act to DM's headlining slot, and somewhere along the line when the tour came to a brief halt, MOTOR members Bryan Black and Oly Grasset found themselves in a Berlin hotel room with plenty of time on their hands to make a new record for Chris Liebing's CLRX sublabel.
Emptyset - Medium
Artists who work primarily in the wild world of aural abstractions rarely make much of a splash in the four-on-the-floor techno sphere. But Emptyset is one such act that does manage to bridge that gap pretty keenly. Don't believe us? Check out last year's "Avichi" on Chris Liebing's CLR label, and you'll soon be convinced of their prowess for building danceable beats as handily as they do moving, contemplative textures.
MOTOR's Bryan Black on their new EP with Martin Gore
The thundering techno duo MOTOR is about to release its fourth album, but the engine has been definitively re-tuned. For one thing, the group is now signed to Chris Liebing's CLR imprint; for another, the album, Man Made Machine, finds MOTOR re-tooling its pummeling mechanics according to a newfound sense of song form. The record even features cameos from Gary Numan, Billie Ray Martin, Nitzer Ebb's Douglas McCarthy, and Depeche Mode's Martin Gore.
The album's eponymous first single, featuring Martin Gore is out today; check it out on Beatport here, along with remixes from Radio Slave, Chris Liebing, and Black Asteroid.
We caught up with MOTOR's Bryan Black to talk about working with Gore, the evolution of the group's sound, and how the project ended up on CLR instead of in Lady Gaga's hands. Read on for the full interview.
Tommy Four Seven: G
Tommy Four Seven has crafted a video as dark and suggestive as the music he writes. Famous for his deep and uncompromising style of techno, he cut his razor-sharp teeth in the UK; now he resides in Berlin, where he's been putting out records on Speedy J's Electric Deluxe and Chris Liebing's CLR imprint.
"G," lifted from his new album Primate, and co-produced with Chris Liebing himself, is a shining example of Tommy Four Seven's extraordinary approach. (Hint: turn it up loud.) For more on the man and his studio techniques, check out Resident Advisor's new Machine Love feature, an in-depth look at his setup and methods.

Whether a child comes to you with a broken, chipped, or knocked-out tooth, it's an emergency when it happens. So, as a parent, what can you do to protect that child's smile ... until he gets the right fix from a specialist? That's the subject this time for Dr. Tedd Mitchell, who has raised three active kids of his own. But this time, the President of the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center is making a house call.... for you.
This is the President's Prescription:
Sports, falls and accidents all can result in the partial or complete loss of a tooth. It's important to know what you can do to until you can get to the dentist.
If you chipped or fractured a tooth: Don't eat or drink anything. Collect any tooth fragments, place them in a container, and cover with milk, saline solution or saliva.
With a dislodged tooth, rinse out your mouth and check the tooth's socket for bleeding. If it's bleeding, bite down on gauze, a clean cloth or tissue to apply pressure, which will help stop the bleeding. Pick up the tooth by the crown, not the root, and place it in milk, saline or saliva for the trip to the dentist. Or put the tooth between your cheek and gum to keep it moist until you get to the dentist. But don't do this if you are shaken up. You could accidentally swallow the tooth, possibly creating far more dangerous problems.
And remember, even if you think it's not serious, seek medical help. Because a loose, chipped or lost tooth often comes as a result of an impact, you may have head or neck injuries, too. For the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, I'm Dr. Tedd Mitchell.

5 a.m. snow day calls not welcome by everyone
Despite objections from some of its members, the school board Monday kept a policy on the current emergency notification system.
Nashua, Weare, Epsom and Hooksett use a similar system. Manchester parents can sign up for text message alerts.
For Goffstown parents who find the Power Announcement phone calls more annoying than convenient, there is an opt-out. That option is not available to teachers and staff, and one board member thinks that's unfair and a misuse of the technology.
Board member Dan Cloutier said he's concerned those early morning phone calls are a nuisance to spouses of school district employees who don't have to be up at that early hour. He said the system wasn't really intended to be used to announce snow days.
"The issue is getting a call on a snow day," said Cloutier. "Is that an emergency? In my regard, no. I agree with it when there's an emergency, but that's not what we use it for."
Buckley said Power Announcement is intended to deliver a message before teachers get to school. She worries staff members who opt out of the phone call could walk into a dangerous situation.
"Heaven forbid there's a gunman or something," Buckley said.
In addition to telephone, TV and radio, snow day notifications are sent using text messages and emails, Buckley said.
New board member Ben Hampton, who teaches at Manchester Community College, said a similar system is in place where he works, but teachers and staff can opt out of the early morning phone call.
"I think there's a better way of doing this," he said.
Buckley said only two staffers have asked not to be included on the list.
In Bedford, the school district uses Alert Now, a system similar to Goffstown's Power Announcement. Superintendent Tim Mayes said in Bedford two phone calls go out on the morning of a snow day, one at 5 a.m. for teachers and staff and the other at 6 a.m. for parents.
"We didn't use it initially for snow days," Mayes said. "But then we had a number of days out when the power was gone and they said, 'This is great - keep doing it,'" he said. Mayes said since the system was put in place in 2009, no one has asked to be taken off the call list.
Mayes said snow day cancellations are also made using Twitter, the school district's Facebook page, as well as television and radio.
Scott Earnshaw is the parent of two children who attend Bedford schools.
"I think it's convenient to have the calls come through," he said.

Ealing girls join Jamie Oliver in world record cooking bid
12:10pm Friday 16th May 2014 in Local News By Bethany Whymark
EALING schoolgirls benefited from the "pukka" culinary skills and knowledge of Jamie Oliver in a one-hour cookery lesson today (Friday).
Year Two pupils from St Augustine's Priory took part in Jamie's Live TES cooking lesson for Food Revolution Day, along with hundreds of students in the UK and Australia.
The 24 girls were part of the chef's bid to set a Guinness World Record for the greatest number of people in a cookery lesson, with events held over a 24-hour period at multiple venues.
After watching a cooking demonstration by Jamie, the pupils worked in groups to prepare a rainbow salad wrap.
The cook-off was designed to give students a taste of cookery and healthy eating, in line with Food Revolution Day's mission to slow the increase of diet-related illnesses.
Sarah Raffray, head teacher of St Augustine's Priory, said: "It's wonderful for our girls to have the opportunity to take part in an initiative of this kind on a global scale, and for students across the world to have the chance to learn from someone like Jamie Oliver."

I'm thinking the Billy King Network needs to get together. Brooks Hump and Pick for Korver, Henderson, and Milsap! This is half sarcastic. But it addresses all of our needs.
Send: Brooks to Atlanta and a 2013: 1st round pick (or Bogs) to Atlanta, and Hump to Charlotte w/ a 2014 - 1st round pick (or Bogdanovich)
Receive: Kover from Atlanta and Milsap from Utah and Henderson from Charlotte
Why we do it:
- Milsap is a decent PF, that we can bring back on a solid and fair contract and move later if need be.
- Korver is possibly a perfect addition at back up SG for the Nets. Good chemistry with Watson from the Chicago Bench Mob. A Billy King guy, too, so we should be able to re-sign. He's a professional, 31 year old, sniper, who can play solid Defense. He's also 6'7" so he fits what we're trying to do with Size, and will back up Joe nicely.
- Gerald Henderson is a solid defensive, athletic wing that backs up Wallace nicely. He can run the floor well, too.
- This addresses all of our needs, across the board, and the pieces fit well.
Send: Milsap to Brooklyn, 2nd round pick to Atlanta
Receive: Lou Williams from Atlanta, Sessions from Charlotte
Why they do it:
They need to move Milsap to make room for Favors. He's available. Lou Williams would be an awesome get for them by himself. Adding Sessions as another PG option gives them two really good players in the back court to mesh with their young, up and coming front court. I think they bite on this right away.
Send: Korver to Brooklyn, Lou Williams to Utah
Receive: Brooks from Brooklyn, 2013 First round pick from Brooklyn (or Bogs), 2013 Second rounder from Utah
Why the Hawks do it:
This is the longest odds, but there is a potential. The Hawks have 5 SG's right now. Jenkins, Williams, Korver, Morrow, Stephenson. They are freeing up cap space for Howard and Paul. They liked Brooks early on, and this move saves them $3.5 Million next year. They can use that to bring in Bogs, or to make max offers to Paul and Howard while retaining Smith. It gives them a lot of flexibility. Lou Williams is very good. But, if this doesn't work out, they may land Bogs on a bargain, and Morrow can develop. It's not a crazy scenario to me, for a player who is expiring, and a decent, but not exceptional SG. They are being well compensated for these two players, and would have a legit chance at a line up that includes Teague, CP3, J-Smoove, DH12, Brooks, and Horford w/ Morrow popping 3's.
Send: Sessions to Utah, Henderson to Brooklyn
Receive: Humphries from Brooklyn, a 1st round pick from Brooklyn
Why Charlotte Does it: It helps them tank for a top pick like Nerlens Noel. Hump is someone they had interest in. This gives them him on an expiring deal. They have PG depth with Kemba, and Henderson is a free agent. Sessions is the only give up, with one more year left, and they're getting a 1st round pick to take on salary for one season, in a player they already wanted, and to trade Sessions. Not a terrible deal for them.
I don't have the game on, and with all the talk about Milsap, what we can get for Hump, Brooks, and a Pick, needing an athletic wing, and needing a shooter. I decided to try my hand at being Billy King. The salaries work. Atlanta saves money. Utah gets a big improvement in their back court for years, and frees up Favors. Charlotte helps solidify their odds of getting a top pick, with a player they wanted, and more picks in the future to build a cheap and talented roster for the future. Brooklyn gets pieces to fit every identifiable position of need.
I actually think this might be a realistic trade proposal. I want others thoughts.

Press Democrat wine writer Peg Melnik scopes out wine lists around the North Bay, looking for good value and the occasional splurge. This week's picks (prices are retail; restaurant markup varies):
Bella, 2010 Lily Hill Estate, Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel, 14.6 percent alcohol, $40. A ripe zin but not over the top. Great concentration of black cherry and currant fruit, with a hint of plum. Briary notes, with a tasty undercurrent of sassy spice. Striking.
Duckhorn, Vineyards, 2010 Napa Valley Merlot, 14.5 percent, $54. A seamless merlot with layered notes of blackberry, plum and spice. Nice structure. Lingering spice. Merlot at its best.
Patz & Hall, 2011 Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay, 14.2 percent, $58. A gorgeous chardonnay that wins you over with its complexity and its lush texture. Layered notes of jasmine, brioche and mineral. It's rich and fleshy, yet it manages to be balanced with bright acid. Bravo.
MacPhail, 2011 "The Flyer," Green Valley, Russian River Pinot Noir, 14.1 percent, $59. An earthy pinot with bright red cherries and a touch of oak. A melding of tangy fruit with a hint of smoke. Crisp finish. Absolutely lovely.
Brancaia, 2010 Ilatraia Rosso Maremma Toscana Red blend, 14 percent, $60. A striking blend of blackberry, currant and cracked black pepper. A gamy red with nice length. Well worth the splurge.

Coningsby, in full Coningsby, or The New Generation, political novel by Benjamin Disraeli, published in 1844. It is the first novel in Disraeli's trilogy completed by Sybil (1845) and Tancred (1847). Coningsby follows the fortunes of Harry Coningsby, the orphaned grandson of the marquis of Monmouth. It also traces the waning of the Whigs and the Tories and the nascency of the Conservative party. Above all, Coningsby is a tribute to a political group called "Young England," which hoped for an alliance of the nobility and the common people.

News: Tony Yayo Reacts To Horrific Brooklyn Teen Shooting: "F*ck The Police"
Wednesday, Mar 13, 2013 2:15PM
G-Unit's Tony Yayo has weighed in on a horrific shooting last weekend in Brooklyn involving local police unloading gunfire onto a 16-year-old teenager.
Clearly upset about what went down, the "Talk of New York" had some specific words for authorities who shot teen Kimani "Kiki" Gray 11 times.
"Rip peace to Kiki from bk police just keep shooting us down f*ck the police they killed Sean Bell.," Yayo tweeted March 12th. (Tony Yayo's Twitter)
According to reports, the slaying took place Saturday (March ) in the New York borough.
Following the shooting death of Kimani on Saturday, police officials said he flashed a gun at a pair of plainclothes cops who approached a stoop where he and others were hanging out. Police said a loaded .38-caliber revolver was recovered at the scene -- but family of the slain teen, who was hit multiple times by police bullets, vehemently deny that he was carrying a weapon. (New York Daily News)
The shooting has sparked widespread outrage and protests in the area.
Hundreds gathered in Brooklyn's East Flatbush neighborhood Tuesday for a second night of protest over the death of 16-year-old Kimani Gray, who was shot to death by police days before. Columns of police, including officers on horseback, accompanied the march. The demonstration follows a Monday night candlelit vigil that saw hundreds gather in East Flatbush in memory of Gray, who died after being shot eleven times by undercover agents. Some witness accounts differ with police reports claiming that Gray was brandishing a weapon before being shot. (RT)
Despite firing 11 shots at the victim, the police department claims they only fired as a reaction to the teenager's "suspcious" movement.
A department press release claims Gray broke away from the group, adjusted his waistband and acted "in a suspicious manner." When the officers identified themselves and asked that he show his hands, police say the teen produced a gun and pointed it at them. According to the NYPD, the officers responded by firing 11 shots, hitting Gray "several times." He was transferred to Kings County Hospital Center where he was pronounced dead. (Village Voice)

The teachers began to notice him at the beginning of the 2010 school year, the stranger in a red pickup truck and lizard-skin boots. He was in the hallways and in the classrooms of the school. He was in the principal's office and in the lounge. He was even in the lunchroom, sitting with a food tray at one of the tables near the children, almost every day. So he became familiar over the course of a few weeks at Venetian Hills Elementary, in southwest Atlanta, but not familiar in a comforting way; the stranger's presence set the teachers on edge. The school had a secret, and some of the teachers and even the principal would end up lying to protect it, and were encumbered with the reality of why he was there. He could appear inside their doorways startlingly, unexpectedly. He'd flash the credentials of his governor-issued ID, a smile on his face and his shirt tucked into his blue jeans, boots clacking against the floor. "Hi," he'd say. "I'm Richard Hyde. I'm one of the governor's special investigators, and I'd like to talk to you."
First he tried to put the teachers at ease. They were terrified of him, afraid they'd lose their jobs if they uttered a word. He had more than thirty years' experience as an investigator, and approached them with his calming, almost hillbilly drawl, as though he were a friend stopping in from the cold. He pretended, at first, to know nothing about them, even though he'd read their files; to know nothing much about what might have gone on at the school, though he'd seen the numbers—75.4 percent of classrooms there flagged for wrong-to-right erasures on the standardized tests one year earlier. He handed out business cards and said, "If you decide to talk, call me."
And he kept coming back. He kept parking his big truck in the school lot and eating in the cafeteria, and his reptilian boots kept clacking on the tile. He talked to secretaries and nurses, people, he says, who "knew what was going on, but had never been asked." From the first day inside the school, when he knew he wouldn't get a lot of cooperation, his gut told him the same thing that the wildly unbelievable standard deviations on the 2009 Georgia CRCT test erasure study had all but confirmed: There was something going on here; he could feel it, but couldn't articulate exactly what it was.
The first person who confessed was a third-grade teacher named Jacquelyn Parks. She was a well-dressed woman with a voice loud enough to carry above the noise that spilled through the hallways of what Hyde observed to be a very loud school. When he first approached her, she wanted her students and whoever happened to be standing outside the room to hear her response, almost shouting at him cartoonishly, I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, AND I CAN'T TALK TO YOU! In his experience this was a red flag, an embellishment akin to a wink, a silent plea for him to contact her anywhere but school. So he did.
He focused on her. He kept going back to her. She would see him in his sunglasses, see his truck, see him eating lunch, see him talking to the secretary. But it was at church, according to Hyde, where the Lord revealed that she should tell him what she knew. Hyde went to her home with a female lawyer from Balch & Bingham law firm (where he works), so Parks would feel more at ease.
On the big poster-board map of the Atlanta Public Schools system in his Downtown office at Balch & Bingham, after former attorney general Mike Bowers asked him to be the lead investigator on a case that would take them almost a year to complete, Hyde had circled the flagged schools with a red highlighter, looking for a place to begin, and had seen Venetian down in his old police territory. It had seemed little better than a shot in the dark.
A self-described "former bumblin' beat cop who will never wear a Hickey Freeman suit," Hyde had picked Venetian Hills because he had patrolled that area of Atlanta when he was a rookie police officer on the overnight shift. This was during the Wayne Williams case, when that part of the city thought the killer might've been a cop.
Parks confessed with her lawyers present in the Cumberland Room of Balch & Bingham. Bowers and Bob Wilson, the other two senior investigators called by then Governor Sonny Perdue to lead the case, were in the room, and knew this was the break they needed. They listened intently. Parks described being one of the "chosen ones" at Venetian Hills, a small group of longtime teachers trusted by the principal to gather together and change students' test scores in a windowless room, sometimes wearing gloves. After she confessed, the investigators were able to coax her to wear a wire and record conversations. Venetian Hills was the test run of something that would turn out to be bigger than any of the three investigators imagined.
"I try not to get involved emotionally in stuff like this. I'm a hired gun," Hyde said this past winter, in his first interview regarding the matter. "But this case really affected us all, especially the guys I worked with—Mike and Bob. I think it was much more emotional for them."
And that's basically how Richard Hyde cracked open the biggest school cheating scandal in American history.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
The Lower Bolted Face is between the Lower Roof Route and the large, left-facing corner system (5.5) that dominates the lower Creekside Wall. There is a line of 3 bolts that strikes up the face, just to the left of the corner system. If you climb to the left side of the bolts, you can stay in the crack/corner system for a good ways, and then break to the right, between the 2nd and 3rd bolts, for the crux finish in order to top out the face. If you decide to climb strictly to the right side of the bolts, it is much, much harder. So, it is a little contrived, but it makes for a nice climb anyway.
3 quickdraws and some long slings to build a pipe/tree anchor at the top.

Distance: 92 miles, including a ferry from Langdale to Horseshoe Bay and getting seriously lost driving in North Vancouver.
Quote: "We hope you have a good time in L.A." - Westjet pilot's announcement as we approach John Wayne Airport in Orange County on the flight back from Vancouver.
Along the way: After so many beautiful trips across the water, the 40-minute ferry ride between Gambier and Bowen Islands was the most dramatic of the trip, with towering, pine-covered mountainsides. It helped that the roiling gray clouds parted frequently for blasts of sunlight that freckled the waters before receding into the low-lying mist. A classic bit of put-on-your-jacket Canada.
Good eats: Molly's Reach, Gibsons Landing. Locals will tell you there are better places to eat on the Sunshine Coast and even better places to eat up the street in Gibsons. But I'm a sucker for other cultures' icons, especially ones I know absolutely nothing about. Molly's was the setting for a hit TV series called "The Beachcombers," and Canadians will drive across the continent just to have fish and chips here. It's kind of like the "Cheers" bar in Boston. It doesn't matter if the food is good, you've achieved your goal when you walk in the door. Dive into someone else's sentimental obsessions. Fun to see the glow on the tourists' faces when they come through the door. 647 School Road; 604-885-9106; mollysreach.ca
Why Vancouver: The end.
BC FERRIES: Fast and efficient ferries are suited to long hauls from the mainland to Vancouver Island or short jumps across long inlets. Book your reservations ahead of time during peak summer months or holidays like Thanksgiving. Morning southbound sailings and evening northbound sailings along the southern Sunshine Coast can get crowded with commuters going in and out of Vancouver. Prices vary by season and time. Go to bcferries.com or call 888-223-3779.

NFL free agency does not open for another two hours, but the rumor mill is starting to heat up in a very serious way, so it's time to open our official free agency open thread.
We'll be covering any hard news or relevant rumors about the Buffalo Bills and their free agents that emerge this afternoon and into the evening, and those posts will all be gathered in this StoryStream. For now, the big story remains the status of free safety Jairus Byrd.
The Cleveland Browns are reportedly on the verge of signing Donte Whitner to a lucrative contract, which could conceivably take them out of the running for Byrd (if they were ever in it to begin with, despite the obvious connection between Byrd and Mike Pettine). Another team that was reportedly interested in Byrd, the Miami Dolphins, signed safety Louis Delmas on Monday. That was just a one-year deal, so Miami could still be in play, but indications are that they are not.
Then there's this, from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network (who has done most of the top-level reporting on the Byrd front over the last several days):
Would be really surprised if #Redskins were in on Jairus Byrd, from what I'm hearing. We'll see his market. Return to Bills still possible
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 11, 2014
There are other reports out there that the Redskins are serious contenders for Byrd, though, and those mention the Philadelphia Eagles as a potential landing spot as well. Byrd has enough quality on the open market that other teams that haven't been made public are likely involved, as well - but all the same, it's looking like the safety market is moving quickly, and Byrd is still available.
Another indication that Byrd's market is shrinking: whispers that some teams are concerned about his plantar fasciitis issues.
Got this from an NFL executive not in the Jairus Byrd sweepstakes: "Good player, but not clean health. I would not give him a ton of money."
— Jeff McLane (@Jeff_McLane) March 11, 2014
Don't rule out Jairus Byrd returning to the Bills if he can't get big money on the market. They'll pay him a fair amount.
— Jeff McLane (@Jeff_McLane) March 11, 2014
The comments section below is yours to discuss any other news and rumors that you see on the Internet this afternoon and evening; anything relevant to the Bills will be covered on the home page. Enjoy the first day of free agency, Bills fans!

Last night we saw Rory MacDonald prove he is a physical specimen truly worthy of the title "new breed" as GSP has dubbed him. We also saw what happens when a man without a personality is allowed to speak in public forum.
First, that awful "showboating" where I think he was trying to imitate Roy Jones Jr., he only proved he is the whitest man to ever step foot in the octagon. I was embarrassed for him. It gets worse. I witnessed a "call out" so timid and bland I cringed so hard I could barely hear what was said, if I recall correctly, these were his exact words
"Pardon me Joseph, I would like to pause our interview for a moment. Attention: Carlos Condit. We once fought. I did not win. I would like to correct that incongruity from my record. I propose we meet in the octagon in Canada as I would like to fight you in Canada, the country from which I hail. Sincerely, Rory."
Honestly with trash talk like this who needs Joe Silva.

Sports News
Final Four set for next weekend
After a lengthy regular season, conference tournaments and the first four rounds of the NCAA Tournament, college basketball fans finally found out who is in the Final Four this weekend. Syracuse, Wichita State, Michigan and Louisville will all head to Atlanta next weekend to play for the national championship, and if the previous two weeks were any indication, the games are sure to be memorable ones.
Several surprises
While nobody should be surprised that Louisville is headed to the Final Four - the Cardinals have reeled off 14 straight victories and were the No. 1 overall seed - few others likely picked the other three teams. No. 4 seeds Michigan and Syracuse, who will play each other for the right to reach the championship game, both entered the tournament not playing their best basketball. The Wolverines, for instance, had an early exit from the Big 10 Tournament and lost several key games down the stretch. Syracuse also was not playing its best toward the end of the season, including a period where it lost three consecutive games.
Still, while Michigan and Syracuse weren't playing well, both teams spent time in the top 10 this year. On the other hand, No. 9 seed Wichita State was largely unknown heading into the tournament. Members of the small Missouri Valley Conference, the appropriately named Shockers faced a very unlikely road to the Final Four, including knocking off No. 1 seed Gonzaga and No. 2 seed Ohio State.
Who to watch?
At this point in the tournament, certain players have established themselves as stars to watch, and each team is lucky to have some of the best point guards in the country. For Michigan, that player is Trey Burke. Only a sophomore, Burke is the presumptive National Player of the Year, and has helped carry Michigan to the Final Four thanks to clutch shots, including a cold-blooded three-pointer against No. 1 seed Kansas that tied the game with just seconds remaining.
Syracuse has a skilled point guard as well in Michael Carter-Williams, who has been the catalyst for the Orange all season long. The same can be said for Louisville's Peyton Siva, who has had one of his best years for the Cardinals. Senior Malcom Armstead has been the steadiest player for the Shockers, scoring an average of 18 points per game throughout the tournament.

MARYLAND - Maryland's new child safety seat law is set to take effect on Oct. 1.
It will now require children under eight years of age to be in a child safety seat, unless they are 4 feet 9 inches or taller. This change removes the weight exemption of children weighing more than sixty-five pounds who could previously be transported in a motor vehicle without a child safety seat.
The law will also increase the fines for violations from $25 to $50.

Viewer Comments: Trigeminal Neuralgia (Facial Nerve Pain) - Symptoms
Patient Comments & Reviews
The eMedicineHealth doctors ask about Trigeminal Neuralgia (Facial Nerve Pain):
Trigeminal Neuralgia (Facial Nerve Pain) - Symptoms
What were the symptoms of your trigeminal neuralgia (facial nerve pain)?
Comment from: AWilliams, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: August 23
I was first diagnosed with TN in 1999 at the age of 40. Went to various Neurologists in the US and was placed on different drugs for over 6 months. The drugs did not help at all with the pain and they caused major side effects including rashes, sleepiness to the point of not being able to drive or work. I had Gamma Knife Surgery in Atlanta, GA and was pain free for 10 years. The symptoms came back and I had a second Gamma Knife surgery two years ago. Now the pain is slowly coming back. I am now living in Melbourne, Australia and I am scheduled to see a neurosurgeon tomorrow to see what other options are available. The Gamma Knife surgery was wonderful. It was an easy procedure with just slight numbness in the face as its only side effect. I understand that I cannot have a third gamma knife procedure but I would take it if it were available. The last pain-free 12 years have been wonderful and I would urge any sufferer to investigate this procedure. Good luck to all who suffer from this horrible condition.
Comment from: 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: August 11
I had a head injury on the right side of my head in the hairline area over 5 years ago. I've seen a few doctors for the severe pain I get in the injured area on my head. Doctors say I have permanent nerve damage to the trigeminal nerve. The injured area is numb, but gives me such severe shooting pain. The doctors are not agreeing that the same branch area of the nerve is damaged. My symptoms are all on my right side. They start from the injured area with a sharp shooting pain and goes down my right cheek with a tingling, pins and needle sensation that goes down to the corner of my mouth. I have a slipped disk in my neck from the injury also. I am on medicine to try and stop the pain from happening but it isn't always working. I'm still trying new things to help the pain. One option was Botox.
Comment from: 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: July 11
I have experienced trigeminal neuralgia beginning with unexplainable back molar pain, only on the right side of my face for 15 years. It has grown into swelling at the right base of my neck, tender to the touch during an attack and severe strikes of pain, around my eye, my jaw, my temple and a few times, in my right eye. I can feel like I will "pass out" for a moment. My treatment is NOT to use drugs with side effects. Apply cold immediately to your trigeminal neck area. Lie down. Deep breathing seems to increase oxygen intake and help as well.
Comment from: burning, 65-74 Female Published: June 20
I have been having a burning between one side of my nose and cheek area. Sometimes, I also have pain in the temple area. Teeth ache at times. This has been going on for a couple of months now. I went to my doctor a couple of days ago and she told me it was facial neuralgia. No tests were done and no medications were given. The burning was happening a few times a day for short intervals but is just now happening for a better part of the day and lasts longer and longer.
Comment from: pumpkin1136, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: June 15
I remember the pain like it was yesterday, as nothing compares to the pain stabbing through my eye into my head. The pain was so severe that I became irrational. Treatment was for trigeminal neuralgia and encephalitis. While in the hospital, the illness led to shingles on my lower abdomen and hips, which still recur several times a year.
Comment from: Lee SCHOFIELD, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: June 08
Typically, my symptoms are severe tooth ache, earache, blurred vision, nausea, severe headache, pain in the glands around my neck which is very sore to the touch and pain in the back of my neck. I have been a sufferer for around 27 years. It has been suggested by a specialist at a pain management clinic I have attended that the cause of my TGN is nerve damage from past dental treatment.
Comment from: maddy jacobs, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: June 02
I am 44 yrs old and I have been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis about 6 months ago. About 2 months ago I experienced these horrible shocking pains in my face. Never in my life would I have known such pain if someone explained it to me. My neurologist knew straight away it was trigeminal neuralgia so she put me on Gabapentin capsules.
Comment from: Hummingbird, 55-64 Female Published: May 06
I am a 59 year old female. I noticed what seemed to be nerve pain in my left cheek a few years ago and then the pain seemed to travel down the side of my face until it finally disappeared. During this time it is very painful, but not unbearable, where even 1 hair brushing up against the cheek causes pain. I take ibuprofen and eventually it goes away. I seem to be experiencing this 2 to 3 times per year.

Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen
The Duchess of Cambridge's Wedding Dress was designed by Sarah Burton, Creative Director at Alexander McQueen.
The design shows the influence of Victorian dress in details such as the cinched in waist, the padded hips and the bustle at the top of the train. The dress also looks to the aesthetic of the Arts and Crafts movement with the dress's emphasis on hand-crafted detail. These historic references are blended with a modern cut in a modern fabric – satin gazar.
The appliquéd lace which covers the bodice and sleeves, the skirt and the train evokes the theme of the language of flowers, evident in many elements of the wedding from the flowers to the wedding cake. The lace design also incorporate the National emblems of the United Kingdom (Rose, Thistle, Shamrock and Daffodil).
The dress has a sense of grandeur appropriate to the importance of the occasion and the setting of Westminster Abbey, in which it was designed to be seen, but it also retains a sense of modesty in keeping with The Duchess of Cambridge's wishes.
The ivory satin gazar from which the dress is made is backed by white satin gazar which gives the dress its pale ivory colour. The lace appliqué is in a design unique to the wedding dress as it is made from six types of lace including Cluny and Leavers lace from which elements were cut and incorporated into the overall scheme. Once the lace design for each panel was finished it was pinned to lengths of silk tulle which were sent to the Royal School of Needlework to be appliquéd to the tulle by a team of embroiderers. Once completed the appliquéd lace was cut away from the silk tulle and sewn onto the satin gazar by the seamstresses at Alexander McQueen. The overall effect is entirely symmetrical so that each fold of the skirt and each panel of the train mirrors that opposite to it.
The train is 3 metres long and terminates at the top in arches and pleats which sit on the bustle beneath. The dress is fastened at the back and at the cuffs by tiny buttons covered in satin gazar and silk tulle.

Happy New Year POD!!
With the coaching search ramping up, I've found myself in a bit of a depression. Maybe it's the old mid-winter depression (is it too early for that?) or maybe it's holiday depression. (I swear Santa hasn't come to my house since I moved out of my parents place. What do I gotta do? "Like" him on facebook or something?? Sheesh) Whatever it is, I found myself in a situation where I honestly do not like anybody as far as coaching options. Seriously.
I kind of just wanna be sedated (Ramones style) until the decision is made, but alas I have to work and unfortunately, my employers don't really see passed out on drugs as very productive. (Though I admit, I haven't actually tried it.)
Anyway, I've seen a few POD members volunteer for the job on these boards and thought this link might brighten some of y'all's day. While it's not American football, It's the other football. An English soccer team a few years back had a vacancy for manager and this is one of the applications received:
Middlesbrough F.C. Manager application link
(There is a transcript at the bottom which is a bit easier to read than the scanned letters, btw.)
For those of you who don't want to take the time to read it all, the dude essentially applied for the job quoting his "Career Highlights" in EA's Football Manager 2005 (a video game) as his work experience (the only actual experience being with a team of under 11 year olds). I'm sure many of us could put together a pretty good resume using Madden records and stats and for a few, even NFL Head Coach (remember that one?)
If the application wasn't enough to garner at least a smile, the response from the owner is absolutely awesome!! (Kudos to him!)
I know this isn't really Lions or even (American) football related, but I did think it was somewhat relevant to the position some Lions fans are in presently. Hopefully, it's good for a chuckle. (If you're like me right now, you probably could use one.)

Residents from around the valley gathered to race and support their high school students this weekend at the 15th annual Sam Mumley run in St. Clairsville.
This was one of the highest years for number of participants. Proceeds for the run will go to two high school graduates from St. Clairsville and other community benefits.
The race went smoothly with clear weather and runners we talked with had several reasons for why they enjoyed this race.
The Sunrise Rotary Club helped put the run together, and this year they had over 300 participants that either walked or ran the course. Some of the awards and door prizes were gift cards, memberships and medals.
