Eight badminton players disqualified from Olympic Games
The four women's doubles pairs at the centre of a match-fixing scandal at the London 2012 badminton tournament have been disqualified.
The top seeds from China, two pairs from South Korea and another from Indonesia deliberately missed shots in an apparent attempt to lose their matches in order to influence their position in the next round of the competition.
All eight players had been charged by the Badminton World Federation (BWF) with "not using one's best efforts to win a match" and "conducting oneself in a manner that is clearly abusive or detrimental to the sport".
The disqualified players are:
- China: Yu Yang and Wang Xiaoli
- South Korea: Jung Kyung Eun and Kim Ha Na
- South Korea: Jung Eun and Kim Min Jung
- Indonesia: Meiliana Jauhari and Greysia Polii
The head of the Indonesian Olympic team Erick Thohirhas said that his team will appeal against their disqualification, the Associated Press reports.
Earlier the Chinese state news agency, Xinhua, published a strongly-worded editorial condemning two Chinese badminton players.
The Chinese pair, Yu Yang and Wang Xiaoli, as well as two pairs from South Korea and one from Indonesia are accused of trying to lose in an attempt to manipulate a draw.
– xinhua
This behaviour seriously violated the Olympic spirit regarding fair play...Even if they finally win the gold medal...maybe the audience won't give them any applause.
In sport, morality should come before anything else. Whoever violated the rules should be criticised and looked down upon.
Jacques Rogge (IOC President) left the arena just before this game, we wonder what he would have thought had he seen this game.
All the players were booed by an irate crowd as serves were deliberately hit into the net and shots hit wide and long on an embarrassing evening for the sport.
All four pairs had already qualified for the last eight meaning the only thing at stake were the final placings in the group stage.
The fiasco began when Chinese top seeds Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang started to show little interest in beating Koreans Jung Kyung Eun and Kim Ha Na to finish top of Group A.
Coming second would have meant avoiding compatriots and second seeds Tian Qing and Zhao Yunlei - who earlier lost to a Danish pair - at least until the final.
The Koreans responded to China's antics by copying them, prompting referee Thorsten Berg to warn all the players. The match restarted and the Koreans went on to win 21-14, 21-11. The longest rally in the first game had been just four shots.
The matter did not end there as a second Korean pair, the third seeds Ha Jung Eun and Kim Min Jung, then attempted to engineer defeat in their match against Indonesia's Meiliana Jauhari and Greysia Polii.
Their motive was apparent retaliation to avoid Wang and Yu in the quarter-finals, an outcome they failed to achieve as they eventually won 18-21, 21-14, 21-12.
The Indonesians were not bystanders in the affair either as they responded to the Koreans by trying to lose themselves.
Berg again intervened and brandished the black card to disqualify the players but quickly rescinded his decision on protest. However, the histrionics - now including time-wasting - continued as the crowd became increasingly restless.
– Sung Han-kook, Korea's coach
The Chinese started this. They did it first. It is a complicated thing with the draws. They didn't want to meet each other in the semi-final, they don't want that to happen. They [BWF] should do something about that.
Yu claimed the Chinese tactics had been to preserve energy ahead of the knockout phase.
– Yu Yang, China
Actually these opponents really were strong. This is the first time we've played them and tomorrow it's the knockout rounds, so we've already qualified and we wanted to have more energy for the knockout rounds.
Gail Emms, a British Olympic silver medallist in 2004, has called the episode "embarrassing" and called for the four pairs to be disqualified. She told the BBC's Five Live radio:
– Gail Emms, British Olympic silver medallist
If badminton wants to save face I personally feel they should disqualify the four pairs and re-instate the pairs who came third and fourth in the group and then have a better competition. You cannot do this in an Olympic Games, this is something that is not acceptable and it just makes not only our sport but the organisers and the poor crowd who had to watch, who pay good money to watch two matches ... It was just disgraceful, absolutely disgraceful. I would disqualify them.
International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge had been at the badminton but had left shortly before the drama unfolded.

Here are some pix of the emerald bowl.
It was a cold and rainy night in San Francisco. The band performed and sat with no cover. I was one of the lucky ones who had a seat under another deck.
Allen Bradford pushes the pile. Its nice to have a back with some strength who can hold on to the ball. In my opinion this is our starter regardless if Joe McKnight returns.
One of the many plays where Bradford gets the ball and immeidately has 3 guys in his face. Where is the O-Line?
Damien Williams catches another ball here.
Stanley Havili's 2nd touchdown
I'm going to miss #18.
I love this picture. Pete Carroll and Ken Norton seem too tight for Neuheisel to break up this friendship. I guess you are a bruin for 4 years.
Final scoreboard
Damien celebrating after the game
Damien making sure he goes in style. He did a Lambough Leap into the stands to direct the band in "Conquest" after the game. He delayed the trophy presentation by about 5 minutes while he made his way back to the field to claim his Offensive MVP trophy. Good luck in the NFL Damien, and thanks.
Fun game. Too bad it was the day after Christmas or there probably would have been more USC people there.

wow jane fonda looks uncannily like nancy and alean rickman also ronald its intresting how we all discussed how wrong it was to get a mixed latina like zoe to play nina simone but look how they manage to find an actress that resembles greatly a white woman who is in SUPPORTING role but im sure people will come out with all types of excuse as to why its acceptable here but not when it come to BLACK icons.
BluTopaz | September 12, 2012 4:51 PM
This is some great makeup work, Jane and Alan look so much like the people they are portraying (hint hint). Maybe the next S&A professionals series could feature a makeup effects professional and/or costume designer. I kinda want to see this for the Dynasty era fashions Oprah and Jane are sporting here.
Ms. Mooks | September 12, 2012 3:50 PM
So excited to see this film. I fucks with Jane Fonda. Been a fan since "9 to 5" (Mind you I'm only 24 but a TOTAL movie buff) I love Lee Daniels films. The sense of realism his films portray is what I live for. "Shadowboxer", "Monster's Ball", "Precious"...loves it. Really wanna see "The Paperboy" Zack Efron in his underwear?!---pure genius. About time the MEN get sexualized/exploited. (Magic Mike, anyone?) Men been making women do it for YEARS...still doin' it too. LOL.
Akimbo | September 11, 2012 2:26 PM
Oprah looks fly with that Nancy Wilson hair! I wonder if she'll ever stop dyeing.
ALM | September 11, 2012 12:02 PM
Oprah still looks pretty, even with the makeup/hair color added to age her.
Winston | September 11, 2012 11:05 AM
Stop your bloodclaat lying, Oprah. There's no aging going on here with you; that's your natural face.

I have posted a few similar posts in the past. You have probably realised by now how much I love to keep an eye out for late round sleepers. Here's another interesting guy to keep an eye on come draft day:
JAMES HANNA, TE, 6'4", 252lbs., University of Oklahoma
Possesses average size for the postion. Exhibits solid first step quickness down the seam and good speed. Tends to gear down when asked to get out of his breaks, but can be a sharper route runner in time. Possesses good range, At times will struggle to pluck off his frame. Looks natural running down the seam and making plays on the throw.
Is a coordinated run/pass blocker. Understands angles, extends his arms well and showcases the ability to bend and keep his pad level under him. Slides his feet well through the play and routinely can seal defensive ends from the football and stay engaged.
(as per National Football Post)
You might be asking.... but why sir are we talking about a tight ends??? We seem pretty set at the position. Well here's the thing. We just released Will Heller (cap casualty) and typically like to keep three TE's on the roster. I just don't see Nathan Overbay having that much potential.
Here's the deal with JAMES HANNA: He will be a late round pick... 6,7. He played in an offence that doesn't utilize the TE as a receiver very often. With the right coaching and the right system I could see him developing into a premier TE in this league. Here are his combine numbers:
40 yd. dash: 4.49...... yes... that isn't a typo (1st TE)
Vertical: 36" (1st TE)
3 cone: 6.76 (1st TE)
For a late round pick this guy could turn out to be a stud. And as a 3rd string TE on our roster why not take a chance.

Here is a perfect example of election year politics in the US that is going to unnecessarily cause tension between the government and people of South Korea and the US military that will bear the consequences of the protests and public anger such a move will likely cause:
South Korea's military has reacted negatively to a possible U.S. push to redeploy tactical nuclear weapons on the Korean Peninsula, saying such a move won't be helpful in resolving the North Korean nuclear issue.
A source in the South's military said Sunday that a redeployment of tactical nuclear weapons in South Korea would run counter to a 1992 inter-Korean declaration on denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and work against persuading the North to give up its nuclear weapons program.
The response came after reports last week that a U.S. congressional committee is pressuring the Obama administration to redeploy tactical nuclear weapons on the Korean Peninsula. The House Armed Services Committee, dominated by Republicans, approved an amendment to the fiscal 2013 national defense authorization bill Thursday that calls for the re-introduction of the sensitive weapons to South Korea, according to Foreign Policy magazine.
The U.S. pulled all of its forward-based nuclear weapons out of Korea in 1991 before the two Koreas signed a deal on the denuclearization of the peninsula. Since then, the U.S. has provided a so-called nuclear umbrella for the South. [Yonhap]
Like with the phony student loan fight or the so called "War On Women" created by the Democrats as election year issues, the Republicans are firing back with their own manufactured election year issue by trying to make Democrats look weak on defense. Besides trying to get the Democrats to appear to be soft on North Korea, the Republicans are also trying to get the Democrats to be on record as being soft on defense of the home land by trying to construct a missile defense base on the East Coast that the Pentagon doesn't want. There is little to no truth in any of these issues, but creating perceptions about the other is all that matters in an election year. Unfortunately too many US voters are to unaware to realize the phony nature of these issues.

It's been about two months since Cheer up Charlie's had to restrict it's outdoor music hours to comply with a new city ordinance.
The new rules say outdoor music venues that are closer than 600 feet from any home have to stop playing at 8 p.m. during the week and 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
Owner Tamara Hoover told commissioners Monday the curfew is too strict.
"Fifty percent of our revenue comes from 10 p.m. to midnight, so having that aspect sort of cut out from underneath us has affected the way we operate," said Hoover.
The curfew can be extended by two hours if its supported by the neighborhood. Hoover says she has made the extra effort to gain support from about a dozen nearby residents but not everyone is on board.
David Zapata, head of the Guadalupe Association for an Improved Neighborhood, says he's done with dealing with the loud music coming from the venue.
"We're through with it, like I said we've tried too many times," said Zapata.
Zapata and two others are urging the city to revoke her outdoor music permit altogether.
"We'll be happy if she closed down and left, that would make us happy," said Zapata.
Zapata says the music can be heard all the way to 9th Street. But an even bigger problem he says is when the outdoor music curfew is ignored.
"I think we are doing our best to branch out to reach out and form a friendship with them," said Hoover.
Hoover says she has even offered compromises that includes not to having any shows at all during the week as long as she can have them play until midnight on the weekend.
Zapata says it's not an option.
"I think it's a great venue but the problem is the music," said Zapata.
The Music Commission says they want neighbors and Cheer up Charlie's to come to an agreement. A decision will be made by the city in November.

Day 1: Landshuter Hut
Distance: 4.3 miles
Total Ascent: 4618 feet (1408 meters)
The Landshuter Hut is located right on the Austria, Italy border. It was my favorite as far as hospitality. There wasn't much of a view, but it was less crowded and the man that ran it was very nice. He didn't speak English, but was very patient with us as we tried to figure out German. The best part of this hike was at the beginning when we passed through a few farms with cows grazing along the trail.
Day 2 Olperer Hut
Distance: 10 miles
Total Ascent: 1,280 feet
Total Descent: 2,913 feet (888 meters)
This was by far my favorite hut as far as the view and the people. Because the view was so spectacular we decided to stay here 2 nights. It was one of the smaller huts we stayed at and we hit it on a weekend, so it was very busy. Fortunately, we were able to get a bed for 2 nights and discovered that because we were members of the Austrian Alpine club they had to find a place for us to sleep.
The first part of the hike was in Italy and about halfway down we came to the Austria/Italy border where we met a kid from Germany who was backpacking from Munich to Venice. We had a beer with him at a small hut right on the border and continued on our way back into Austria.
Once we got to the Schlegeisspeicher reservoir (a breathtakingly beautiful turquoise lake filled with water melting from the glaciers above) it was a gorgeous hike straight up to the Oplerer hut, which hovers on the hill side over looking the majestic Hochfeiler mountains and the Schlegeisspeicher reservoir.
Day 3: Ascent of the Olperer
Distance: 2 miles
Ascent: 3,608 feet (1100 meters)
Although the entire trip has been fun, this was my favorite day. Both Becky and I got to do what we love. I climbed a mountain and she stayed at the hut and did some photography.
The Olperer was one of the hardest mountains I have ever climbed. Although it is not that high, I had to hike on a steep snow bank and had to scramble up a very challenging section with a fixed rope to help you get to the summit. There were about 10 people on the mountain that day and only myself and one other guy made it to the top. It was a little foggy on top, but the views were still amazing. On the back side of the mountain was a small ski slope with enough snow for people to still be skiing. The view from the front side was of the majestic mountains with the beautiful reservoir at the base. The views were so exquisite I could have sat up there all day, but I had a long challenging descent still to get down.
When I returned to the hut we found a perfect hill for Becky to fulfill her life long dream of singing in the hills and had fun taking random pictures. After our day of fun we sat on the deck and enjoyed the view and a beer. This is where we met Bernard and Martin, two Austrians from a small town outside of Vienna. I had passed them on the mountain earlier that day and after talking for a little while they informed me that I hiked too fast and would have trouble getting a boyfriend because of it. We played UNO with them that night and learned a few new rules for the game (see things we learned at the bottom of the page). They also introduced us to schnaps, an extremely strong post dinner shot.
Day 4: Furtschagl Hut
Distance: 5 miles
Ascent: 1,980 feet
This was the easiest hiking day we had, but this hut was my least favorite of all the huts. It had a beautiful view of the glaciers, but was not very hospitable. The best part of the day was jumping into the reservoir. In order to get to the hut we had to hike around the Schlegeisspeicher reservoir. It was a pretty hot day, the water was crystal clear and we hadn't had a shower in 5 days, so we decided to jump in the water. Due to the fact that the reservoir is filled with run off from the glaciers above, it was a little cold.
Day 5: Berliner Hut with the ascent of the Schonbichlerhorn
Distance: 4.3 miles
Ascent: 2,585 feet
This was my favorite hut as far as accommodations. It was the largest hut we stayed at, actually it looked more like a resort than a hut and it had the best rooms. However, this was the longest and most challenging day of hiking. We ended up hiking for about 9.5 hours. To get to the Berliner from the Furtschagl we had to hike over a 10,000 foot pass with some scrambling near the top. Once we were on the pass we dropped our packs and made the short climb to the top of the Schonbichlerhorn. The easy part was getting to the top of the pass. The beginning of the descent was so steep they put in fixed ropes that were essential for getting down. Once we finally got off of that part we had an extremely long descent down into a valley and then back up to the hut.
Day 6: The hike out
After 6 days of hiking and no shower we decided to hike out and take the train down to Venice. The next blog will be about our adventures in Italy.
Things we learned while backpacking in Austria
1. Goats wag their tail when happy
2. Austrians think Americans drink hot chocolate with swimming mushrooms
3. Jumping in a glacial lake may give you brain freeze
4. Beer is the best post hiking beverage
5. A traditional Austrian dessert is like mashed pancakes
6. There are no kangaroos in Austria
7. Schnapps is a VERY strong after dinner drink
8. Flashing is also a term used in the game UNO
9. The term mashed is used to describe anything that is mixed
10. While napping in the mountains, a fluffy dog sniffing your face may be mistaken for a bear
11. Good friends help carry each others packs up difficult sections
12. Huts may be farther away then they appear
13. Glacier streams can be a good spot to shave your legs
14. Blisters can look like tumors
15. Asking cute boys for help is a good way to start a conversation
16. Being a fast hiker may be the reason for not having a boyfriend
17. It is possible to be in Italy and Austria at the same time
18. People are amazed when you tell them you are from Alaska

Savannah-Chatham Metro Police Chief Willie Lovett appeared on WTOC's Mid-Morning Live on Tuesday just hours after a community meeting to discuss the recent violence in the community.
During the meeting, Marquis Mason discussed the culture of silence, people unwilling or afraid to say what they saw. Lovett weighed in on the importance of people coming forward with details on crime.
"A lot of people look at it as snitching and say, 'I'm not going to tell.' Well that's fine and dandy until it happens to somebody in your family, and then the whole world comes to end. But it didn't bother you the fact that it was somebody else's family, and we've got to stop that," he said.
Police are still looking for two suspects in the Coast Empire Fair Shooting.
Investigators said they believe Lajuan Sloman started shooting into a crowd and Terrance Thacker lied to police.
They're still looking for both. Four others are already behind bars.

On Saturday night, the UConn Huskies have pulled off a 21-8 run against the Arizona Wildcats as time winds down in the first half. While Arizona is winning the rebound battle, the Wildcats have slowed somewhat from the fast pace they set bursting out of the gate.
Both teams are clearly fond of the three-pointer, but neither side is getting them to fall. Arizona has sunk only one of 10, while Connecticut is 2-for-10. Fouls have emerged as one of the key differences between the two teams; while Arizona has only been sent to the line twice, going 2-for-4, Connecticut has sunk nine of 12.
For UConn. Kemba Walker leads with nine points and two assists. Jeremy Lamb and Shabazz Napier each have seven.

Health officials and police in Plattsburgh hope a new methadone clinic will help with a growing drug and crime problem in the area.
"We've seen a trend growing within the last eight to ten years, but the numbers are increasing even more probably for the past two years," said Michelle Collings of Conifer Park Outpatient Clinic Plattsburgh.
The new Plattsburgh methadone clinic opened in November to help those addicted to these powerful drugs get healthy. With the publicity of Philip Seymour Hoffman's apparent heroin overdose and Governor Peter Shumlin addressing the opiate problem in Vermont, Collings hopes people are listening.
"It brings more attention to the issue, so I think that's a good thing," Collings said.
Methadone is used to treat heroin and other opiate addictions. And as with other parts of our region, she says many of these addictions started with a prescription for painkillers.
"They're not able to get them off the street because of the high price, they do end up turning to heroin," Collings said.
Before this clinic opened in Plattsburgh, those seeking treatment had to go to clinics in Albany or Vermont for Methadone.
"We have a responsibility to help treat these people, when we're seeing the overdose deaths, and a lot of them are not reported," Collings said.
And, of course, the increase in drug use leads to increased crime like we've seen in other places. Clinton County District Attorney Douglas Collyer says criminal drug cases have doubled. He believes the clinic benefits the community and will reduce crime.
"The treatment aspect is important and every one case that you're successful in with treatment is one less case that's going to come back through the system, so it's definitely a savior in the end," Collyer said.
It's not only crime that's worrisome, these drugs can be snorted, smoked or injected. The clinic says most addicts are injecting and that raises serious health concerns for the community. Diseases like HIV, AIDS and hepatitis C are easily transmitted that way.

The invasion begins, Devers and his platoon are launched down to the surface on-board a UC-78 Raven - however the ride will be far from a smooth one. Meanwhile the wormhole opens again spitting something out - Commodore Greene orders Lieutenant-Commander Sears (voiced by Kevin McCulley) on-board the U.S.S. Hammer (SDD-1114) to investigate.
At the end of the 23rd century, Earth's empire in space - the Terran Imperial Union has begun a full-scale war with a civilization of humans who left earth over a hundred years ago - the Dakota Republic. Retired Air Force Major - John Caine (voiced by Lewis Roscoe) has lost his entire family to the Dakota, and now he has been recalled to active duty to locate the whereabouts of a ship that mysteriously went missing. He will be embedded into an invasion force that will be heading where the ship was last heard from. Private Rick Devers (voiced by Malcolm Klassen) is a new recruit to the Union Army, and has been rushed to the front-lines in the same invasion force as Caine. His unit will put down on an enemy planet only to discover a far worse enemy at work than the Dakota. Ensign Sarah Keller (voiced by Ashley Holland) is a Union chief communications officer of her ship, while on a secret mission behind enemy lines, her ship is sucked out of the fabric of space itself, and the Union is sending a large invasion force to find out where her ship went. In this epic science-fiction saga, these three characters will cross paths in a struggle against forces and creatures that are a prelude to a great darkness.

The Court of Appeal appears to have contradicted its own thesis about the interpretation of Article 52(2) of the EPC.
At paragraph 9(ii) of the Court of Appeal Judgment, the Court made the following observation about article 52(2) of the EPC-
"One cannot form an overall approach to the categories. They form a disparate group - no common, overarching concept, for example, links rules for playing games with computer programs or either of these with methods for doing business ..."
But the Court of Appeal seemed to go on (at paragraphs 39 to 49 of the judgment) to do just that. Namely, to adopt a single overall approach to the interpretation of the categories.
This overall approach was (or almost was?) the single, structured, four-step test as urged upon the Court by the UK Patent Office.

Hendricks County Flyer
---- — INDIANAPOLIS — A season that began with uncertainty on the sun-baked grass of early-August ended with pride on the cold, soggy turf of mid-October for the Tri-West girls' soccer team.
Two goals by Melissa Sturgill were the difference in Saturday's Class 1A regional at Park Tudor, as the host and 12th-ranked Panthers topped eighth-ranked Tri-West, 2-0.
The Bruins saw their season end with a 17-3 record, a sectional title and second-place finish in the Sagamore Conference under the leadership of first-year coach Billy Hall.
"I knew they'd had success in the past and that there was a lot of turnover from last year, so I didn't know what kind of expectations to have going into the season," Hall said. "I was impressed with how they played all year long and how they carried themselves on and off the field. It was a special group of players."
Park Tudor coach Rana Hoffbauer praised the effort and sportsmanship shown on the pitch.
"Both teams really played hard," Hoffbauer said. "Luckily we had a few more opportunities that we were able to capitalize on and we're moving on."
Sturgill's first score came on a penalty kick midway through the opening half, a goal which gave her Park Tudor's single-season goals record (28).
Park Tudor exerted its will in the first half, as the Panthers held a 7-2 shots-on-goal advantage. Tri-West's two looks came from Lexi Turner and Sydney Carlson, but neither had enough on them to challenge goalkeeper Alexandra St. Clair.
"I think maybe we did a little too much of dropping numbers back and not pressing high enough up the field," Hall said. "They were able to push the action to our half of the field and build up and attack."
Sturgill's 29th goal of the year came 11 minutes into the second half on a long shot from outside the box that cut into the lower left corner of the net.
Tri-West's only scoring chances of the second half came on a corner kick and shot by Paige Newton, but St. Clair was there to deny both.
Nine seniors played their last game in a Tri-West uniform, and there were more smiles for what they had accomplished than tears over Saturday's result.
"With a new coach and losing a lot of good seniors last year, we didn't know how it was going to go," senior Brittany Kiefer said. "To almost win conference and to win sectionals again was a big surprise for us. It was a great season."

Cook and England dealt Trott blow
England have been dealt a another blow with the news that batsman Jonathan Trott is heading home from the tour with a stress-related illness.
Trott's return means that England, captained by Essex star Alastair Cook, will have to make at least one change before battle resumes in Adelaide next week.
England go into the 2nd test on the back of a heavy defeat in Brisbane, as Australia cruised to a 381 run win with a day to spare.
Cook himself battled hard to make 65 as England were bowled out for 179 in their second innings, but his individual effort was a small highlight in an otherwise disastrous start to the Ashes series.
Meanwhile, Northamptonshire all-rounder David Willey is also returning home early from Australia after picking up a lower back injury.
The 23-year-old has been with the England Performance Programme squad but will now undergo rehabilitation back in the UK.

I've been chewing on this for a while and every time I think about lineups I always come back to the one we started last night.
I don't profess to be a basketball genius but the results speak for themselves (to some extent). I'm really looking for input more than anything else, why couldn't last nights lineup be a permanent change?
1. You get Wesley Mathews in the SL.
2. Roy and Miller aren't fighting to be the floor captains anymore
3. No more Roy drama. Maybe a little Miller drama though.
4. We're BIG.
5. It's not like Miller is a big upgrade at def from Roy so having only one of them on the floor means we only have one defensive liability.
5a. We've got two lockdown defenders to makeup for only one persons deficiencies instead of one lockdown def trying to make up for two players deficiencies.
6. Our young guys get the minutes they need to get better.
7. Millers contract is even more disposable
I see this lineup playing out something like this:
1 - Roy
2 - Mathews
3 - Batum
5 - Camby
1 - Miller/Mills/Johnson (now we really can trade Millers contract)
2 - Fernandez/Johnson
3 - Mathews/Roy/Fernandez swing over
4 - Cunningham/Camby swings over
5 - Pryz/LA swings over
So tell me what I'm missing - even after you have I still might ignore your logic and enjoy my own little world of awesomeness that I've created. Look forward to your thoughts.

In the Fargo-Moorhead area, it's one small sign that winter is nearing an end. As of March 1, the Dairy Queen on 8th Street in Moorhead is open again.
The location is well-known for it's seasonal openings and friendly owners. The walk-thru ice cream shop closes on Halloween every year and reopens the first of March.
It is one of the oldest Dairy Queens in the country, serving ice cream since 1949. Even on a 30-degree day in March, people are seen lined up for their frozen treat.
This Dairy Queen is just one of many in the area, and is located at 24 8th Street South in Moorhead.

Two parks in Marshall County affected by the 2011 tornadoes are receiving state grants for funding. One of the grants includes $50,000 for a special needs playground in the town of Guntersville.
Officials said they didn't know if they would get the money. After more than a year, the good news came Tuesday afternoon.
The proposed special needs playground will go right next to the current playground at Civitan Park and will replace the current volleyball court.
Much of the matching funds will be contributed by the Lady Civitans.
Pam Kirchev with the Lady Civitans said meeting the needs of those with special needs is a priority of theirs.
The funding will take care of the first phase, which will include swings and other basic playground equipment.
She said the playground will be called Every Child's Playground because it will truly be a playground that all children can use.
"It's just great for our community to have this park and have it available and certainly the children that use it and utilize it will enjoy it. It's a great place for families to take them, and it's just a good thing for our community," said Mayor Bob Hembree.
The governor also announced just over $68,000 would be going to help renovate Lake Guntersville State Park, also damaged by the tornado.

The Egg Harbor Township Board of Education voted in favor of the school district's budget at a public hearing Tuesday night.
Board members and teachers noted the difficulty in creating this year's budget, as residents will now take on a three-cent tax increase to compensate for a growing district that has not seen an increase in state aid.
Even with the 3 (cent) increase, we're still losing programs. We're going to have pay to play for sports, we're cutting on building supply budgets," said Fernwood Avenue Principal Jim Battersby.
"We really need to start increasing our aid back to where it should be because threes no where else to go, we can't ask our property tax payers to do anymore and we shouldn't," said Board member Pete Castellano.
Earlier in the afternoon board members met with Senator Jim Whelan and Assemblymen John Amodeo and Chris Brown to further discuss ways to increase aid and revise the district's assessment from the Economic, or EDA.
"We don't have a solution in hand where we can say ok the problem is solved," said Senator Jim Whelan.
"Either in terms of EDA or state aid, but we do have some strategies to try to relive some of the pressure on the school board and try to get some dollars back into the district."
The board remained at its 2% cap on the budget increase, and officials say taxes will roughly increase by six hundred dollars and could vary based on recent and ongoing home re-assessments.
With several school programs threatened by the budget difficulties and with state aid only making up 35% of the budget compared to 60% in 2000 according to officials, board members, teachers and parents hope the state will do its part to relieve the burden on taxpayers and the students.
"The state has that ultimate responsibility for providing a throughout and efficient education," said Castellano.
"And we're going for the state to step up and help us in Egg Harbor Township."

Summer campers not put off by cooler weather and look forward to Fall adventures.
EAST LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) - The Department of Homeland Security conducted a study just a few years ago on Spartan Stadium and found a potential security hazard.
The gasoline tanks located on the east side of the stadium will be relocated. Michigan State Athletics and university police have decided that it would be best to move the refueling area away from where 75,000 fans go to watch football games.
The decision to move the tanks have been in talks for many years, but recently, there have been more tragic events like the Boston Bombing, which has MSU changing the way they handle security
"As we go through and evaluate how we keep our guests safe at our events, this was just the next logical progression as we go through and review these things," said Greg Ianni, the depputy director of athletics at MSU.
The pumps will be removed before the upcoming football season and the new refueling area is going to be located about a mile away at Service and Farm Lane roads.

Technology & Engineering
Capacitive Coupling Technology
Yet Another Bass Enhancing Innovation for Superior Performance in a Compact Loudspeaker.
Sometimes, you want a workhorse of a loudspeaker. You want it to be a compact and versatile, go-anywhere and do-anything kind of speaker that is at home on your desk or in your home theater. And you never want to sacrifice performance. Golly, we have a lot in common
The OWM3 is just what you were thinking of. It's ultra-compact, and super versatile (with no fewer than seven innovative mounting options!). Best of all, it sacrifices nothing for superior sound. You'll be surprised by its spacious response and its low end extension. This is particularly noteworthy considering the slim design of the OWM3 enclosure. How did Polk engineers get such incredible bass response from such a compact speaker design? Magic, of course.
Magic, and Capacitive Coupling Technology! Capacitive Coupling Technology (CCT) works electronically by creating an impedance dip in the specific frequency range where conventional sealed box loudspeakers are subject to severely reduced bass output. The slightly lower impedance in this critical frequency range exploits your amplifier's tendency to deliver just a bit more current into that dip.
In this graph, the dotted line reflects the OWM3's performance characteristics in the absence of capacitive coupling, while the solid green and magenta line indicates how CCT effectively improves low frequency extension by nearly one-quarter of an octave, yielding 3dB more acoustic output over the lowest octave of its passband.
This 3dB bass boost creates the impression of 30-40% more internal volume, and effortlessly delivers the low end extension of a much larger loudspeaker!
Another triumph for the magic audio engineers at Polk. And another triumph for you, gentle listener, in your search for superior performance in a compact, go-anywhere do-anything loudspeaker: The OWM3!

Shockwaves from last week's historic midterm elections are still being felt throughout Washington. The shift of power to the Democrats means a new direction on trade, energy and transportation. It's too early to say just how things will play out, but all signs point toward a showdown with the White House on issues critical to steel.
Bye-bye free trade
Like congressional Republicans, free trade also took a thumping on Election Day. Experts said trade was the key issue that pushed the Democrats over the top in Ohio, Indiana and North Carolina—places that have seen big losses in manufacturing jobs.
No fair-trade incumbent was beaten by a free trader, whereas 32 seats held by free-trade advocates in the House flipped to so-called fair traders. "This election evaporated whatever doubts remained that trade is a politically powerful issue." Lori Wallach, director of the Global Trade Watch division of nonprofit consumer advocacy group Public Citizen, said.
No one better captured the country's mood on trade than senator-elect Sherrod Brown (D., Ohio) did. He made protecting U.S. workers from outsourcing and demonizing the flood of bilateral trade agreements the cornerstone of his campaign. Post-election, he signaled that he will put the breaks on any trade deals that could give American companies an incentive to move overseas. Right now, free-trade agreements with South Korea, Peru and a host of other nations hang in the balance.

"A Man Escaped" (1956)
What's It About? A resistance fighter caught by the Nazis and eventually sentenced to death whiles away the hours by meticulously planning his eventual escape, while trying to communicate with the man in the neighboring cell and his other fellow inmates. (You can read about Robert Bresson's masterpiece in more depth here and here).
What's the Escape Plan: Having spent painstaking hours, days and weeks carving away at his cell door with a spoon to enable him to remove the panels and make an opening large enough to slip through, Fontaine (Francois Leterrier) makes ropes and hooks out of the few furnishings of his cell—his mattress, his ventilation duct, his bedsprings—but has to improvise further when a cellmate is billeted on him and he's forced to let him in on the plan. One of the great strengths of the film is in conveying just how difficult it is, however, despite all the preparation and planning, to actually make the decision that tonight's the night.
How Successful Is It? After an unbelievably tense night, during which a guard is killed and Fontaine's patience and knack for noiselessness are again shown to be his greatest assets, he and his accomplice both make it over that last wall and walk across a bridge to freedom, albeit without the jackets and shoes they accidentally left on the roof.
Would It Work In Real Life? Apparently, incredibly, it did. Director Robert Bresson opens the film a title testifying to its absolute veracity, and the film adheres closely to the real story of Andre Devigny, who escaped imprisonment in Fort Montluc during World War II. Quite aside from the bravery and the ruthlessness needed, the diligence, inventiveness and oceans of patience that this escape required just boggle the mind. An amazing story of an amazing man that, for once, has full justice done to him in an amazing movie.
"Lockout" (2012)
What's It About? It's set in the distant future, on a floating prison colony (in outer space!), where the Vice President's daughter (Maggie Grace) has agreed to take a tour of the facilities, which has many of the criminals locked in a kind of suspended animation. Of course, while she's there a whole bunch of things go wrong and the president enlists the help of a wrongly accused good-guy scumbag (Guy Pearce) to rescue her from all of the bad guy scumbags, who fortunately haven't yet discovered her real identity and value. Yet.
What's The Escape Plan: Pearce's character, Snow, isn't a man with a plan as much as a man who wants to do the job and maybe save his own ass along the way (the Snake Plissken school of...everything). In that way of thinking, he plans on meeting up with his ex partner, Mace, who has information that can clear his name back on earth. So he finds the president's daughter and disguises her as one of the prisoners, changing her hair to blend in, and guides her to an escape pod, which is necessary because the prisoners have killed all of the personnel on the prison colony, leading it to fall out of orbit and crash into a space station (d'oh!) But his plan, such as it is goes awry when Snow reaches the pod and realizes there is only room for one...
How Successful Is It? The two expose some dirty goings on involving the prisoners, find some space suits and fall to earth as the space prison explodes behind them and is obliterated, so 100% mission accomplished, we guess!
Would It Work In Real Life? There are a bunch of huge leaps in logic to even make "Lockout" work as a movie, much less a blueprint for an actual, real-life escape. This is especially true considering that the movie takes place in outer space, on a floating prison colony and at one point Pearce blows up a guy's head using some kind of explosive dog collar. That part was pretty cool. That said, when the future arrives and orbital prison systems are a real thing (or maybe one on the moon, like in "Men in Black III"), maybe this will all seem like the height of gritty realism, though note to future prison architects: please design the escape pods to seat a minimum of two.
"Escape from Alcatraz" (1979)
What's It About? A Don Siegel-directed dramatization of what may have been the only ever successful escape from the notorious island prison, "Escape From Alcatraz" follows prisoner Morris (Clint Eastwood) as he is first incarcerated, and then experiences the hardships of prison life, both from the guards and his fellow inmates. Morris hits on a long-term plan for escape, and after a series of incidents that demonstrate the inhumanity of the situation in Alcatraz, he, his neighbor and the two Anglin brothers (Fred Ward and Jack Thibeau) put it into action in earnest.
What's the Escape Plan: Discovering that the cement around the ventilation grilles in the cells is old and crumbling, Morris fashions a digging tool out of spoons and, over the course of a year, the men work away, eventually each creating a hole big enough to squeeze through. Leaving papier mache heads in their beds to fool the guards, the men escape onto the roof and off the island using a raft they've fashioned from raincoats.
How Successful Is It? In the film all three who attempt the escape (Morris' neighbour loses his nerve at the last moment and stays behind) are strongly implied to have made it to Angel Island and freedom beyond, though the warden (Patrick McGoohan) insists that they drowned in the attempt.
Would It Work In Real Life? Well there's still no definitive answer to the question, as neither the living men nor their bodies were ever found thereafter. However as regards simply evading detection and getting off the island, that certainly did happen, and though the FBI's official conclusion at the time was that they must have drowned, the remnants of the makeshift raft was found on Angel Island, and recent investigations suggest they may in fact have made it there. However, with the number of thwarted escape attempts previously (at least 13, with one other attempt's outcome still not definitive due (again) to not finding the bodies) we'd have to say the odds of a repeat success with this method would have been zero, and besides which, the point is moot: Alcatraz closed the year after this escape attempt. Still, probably slightly more plausible than the Alcatraz escape effected in Michael Bay's finest hour "The Rock."
"The Shawshank Redemption" (1994)
What's It About? In Frank Darabont's adaptation of the beloved, horror-free Stephen King novella, a man who is wrongly accused of a murder (Tim Robbins) befriends an old timer (Morgan Freeman) and secretly plots his escape from the ruthlessly ruled Depression-era prison.
What's The Escape Plan: One of the more amazing things about Darabont's film is that the escape isn't the central focus of the movie, instead it's the friendship between the two men. In fact, the entire escape comes as something of a late-in-the-game surprise and it's only explained after Robbins escapes. It involves Robbins burrowing out from his cell (using the some of the same techniques employed in "The Great Escape," including the old "shaking the dirt out of your pant leg" routine) and covering up his escape using a cheesecake poster of Rita Hayworth, then Marilyn Monroe, then Raquel Welch (the original name of the novella was "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption"). He then travels through an endless sewer system to emerge into the real world again (that moment provides the movie with its iconic "rebirth through rain" shot, where Robbins embraces the rain that washes over his shit-covered body).
How Successful Is It? Robbins gets out and goes to live on a beach, waiting for his friend to join him, which makes it probably the most successful (if also one of the most long-term and laborious) escapes in movie history.
Would It Work In Real Life? We're pretty iffy on the Depression-era prison system's security, and while the movie points out how arduous Robbins' journey is, it still seems kind of easy, if requiring almost superhuman patience, discretion and foresight. You just need a rock hammer, a poster and nearly two decades of spare time.

After scoring a combined 111 points in just two games to start the season, it's safe to say Newton's high-powered offense is going to be tough to stop. It's also probably safe to say that Newton will live and die on the shoulders – and the legs – of junior quarterback Romario Johnson.
The Kiwanis Club hosted Newton County high school football coaches yesterday, and they spoke about an array of topics such as the season, former players, Newton County school system and more.
A chance to make history is on the line this season for the Newton Rams. For the first time in school history, the Rams have the opportunity to make it to the playoffs for three consecutive seasons. The Covington News talked with Rams' head coach Terrance Banks about his team and the process they must go through to reach their goals.
The Newton High School football didn't disappoint its spirited fans during the Rams' 2014 season opener Friday, dominating Berkmar from start to finish to the tune of a 48-21 victory.
Finally, football is back.
After a disparaging loss to Heritage last week, the Lady Rams rebounded and came out with a 5-2 victory over Shiloh.
It may have been the most hyped scrimmage in Newton county football history. There were no kickoffs, punt returns, or hits to the quarterbacks but it was football, and more importantly to the community it was Newton vs Eastside. For the first time in two years Newton was back on top and defeated the Eagles 36-23.
A day that was expected to be cool and cloudy turned out to be hot and sunny, and it was the Lady Rams who benefited. Newton's softball team dispatched Locust Grove in a 3-0 win.
Newton High School's football team got their first chance to practice in pads on Friday after spending much of the summer running practices in shorts and participating in seven-on-seven tournaments.
It's a new beginning for the Newton softball program, as father/daughter combo Greg Cowan and Ashley Coles take over as head coach and assistant head coach respectively.
Although his summer basketball season is over, we caught up with head coach Rick Rasmussen to ask him a few random questions so Newton County to get to know one of its heralded coaches.
Signings don't usually come this late in the summer, but as they say 'better late than never.'

The Newton High School varsity baseball team made a clean sweep of Region 2-AAAAAA rival Alcoy on Senior Night Tuesday, defeating the Tigers 6-1 at home.
It took a few innings for the Newton varsity baseball team's offense to get moving Friday night on the road at Druid Hills, but the Rams clawed their way to an 8-5 victory over the Red Devils, remaining atop Region 2-AAAAAA.
The Newton Rams and Eastside Eagles varsity baseball teams hit the road Tuesday night in region action.
The Newton High girls tennis team stepped out of region play Monday, taking on the Heritage Lady Patriots at home in a non-region contest.
The Newton High Rams exacted revenge Monday night against rival Rockdale County High, defeating the Bulldogs 6-5 on the diamond in Region 2-AAAAAA action.
The Newton Rams varsity soccer team defeated the Lovejoy Wildcats 12-2 on Wednesday in a makeup region game, getting back to their winning ways.
First place in Region 2- AAAAAA was on the line on Tuesday evening as the Lions of Luella traveled to Newton High School to take on the Rams varsity baseball team.
Sports critics often say that umpiring a game is the hardest job on the field, but that job often times doesn't come with the need of medical assistance.
The Newton boys and girls tennis program continued its early season run through Region 2-AAAAAA Tuesday afternoon, picking up their third region wins of the year against Druid Hills.
"I have to laugh to keep from crying" was Newton coach Andre Byrd's summation of the Newton Rams baseball team's sloppy 5-4 loss to the Morrow Mustangs Wednesday at Newton Stadium.
The Newton boys and girls tennis program continued its early season run through Region 2-AAAAAA Tuesday afternoon, picking up their third region wins of the year against Druid Hills.
The Newton High girls and boys soccer teams took on an eager Druid Hills program Friday night, dropping both home contests in Region 2-AAAAAA action.
After putting up 29 combined runs in its two previous games, the Newton varsity baseball team's bats stayed hot Friday night, as Newton strung together 10 hits in a 7-2 victory over region rival Alcovy.
In soccer action this week, the Newton boys and girls soccer teams dropped home contests to visiting Rockdale County in a rivalry sweep.
The Newton varsity baseball team seems to be finding its groove at just the right time entering the heart of its region schedule, picking up a pair of blowout victories this week.

Corporate Law
New SEC Focus: Painting the Barn, Not the Sistine Chapel
Posted May 7, 2009 3:48 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission may soon be using more discretion in civil investigations, focusing on the big fish rather than the small fry.
Speaking today at a program on corporate investigations sponsored by the American Bar Association, an SEC official and the general counsel of the FBI said they hope future investigations will focus more on the big picture and efficient use of prosecutorial resources, reports the Blog of Legal Times.
"There's going to be just a great, great effort to bring people around to recognizing that we need to paint the barn and not the Sistine Chapel," said Steve Korotash, associate regional director for enforcement in the SEC's Fort Worth, Texas, office. "We can finish the case when we get the first two or three people, and then we can move away and say, 'For reasons of prosecutorial resources, we can stop now.' It's never been that way before."
Korotash also said he would like to see more SEC focus on current wrongdoing rather than allegations of securities fraud made years previously.

The Dwight Howard saga keeps getting stranger. In an ESPN article published Tuesday morning, Ric Bucher reported that the Orlando Magic will allow Howard to pick his coach and general manager if he signs a long-term deal with the franchise. Three hours later, the Magic themselves have put out a statement refuting the report. Via Evan Dunlap of Orlando Pinstriped Post:
Magic statement refuting ESPN report: "The only person(s) who have the final say on coaches and management is the Orlando Magic ownership."— Evan Dunlap (@BQRMagic) March 13, 2012
The statement came from team president Alex Martins. It did not elaborate any further. Here is the wording from the ESPN report:
One source close to the situation told ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher that the Magic have promised Howard that they will add a quality player before Thursday's deadline and that Howard can decide the fate of both GM Otis Smith and coach Stan Van Gundy at the end of the season if he signs an extension.
Most reports suggest that it is Martins, and not Smith, that is leading the charge to convince Howard to stay in Orlando.

Everyone thinks Boozer's contract is untradeable, but I found a desperate team that would definitely do this trade. The question is if WE want to do the trade.
So we give up Boozer and Rip Hamilton for Brendan Haywood and Shawn Marion.
This gives us an overpaid backup C, and much less offense than we had. But, I say if we also get a pick, while saving money by losing Booze, and are able to then trade Deng for someone who could really help Rose with the offense (neither Rip nor Booze were going to help him enough), then it's something I would definitely think about.

PRAGUE - The Czech economy remains in recession after it shrank a further 0.2 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2012 from the preceding three-month period.
In 2012 as a whole, it shrank by 1.1 per cent.
The Statistics Office says Thursday that the Czech economy has contracted continuously since the third quarter of 2011 � the longest such period since the split of Czechoslovakia in 1993.
The country's central bank predicts the economy will contract 0.3 per cent this year.
To help the struggling economy, the bank cut its key interest rate to a record low of 0.05 per cent in November.
The Czech Republic does not use the common European currency but the struggling euro countries are its major trading partners.

Hello! Just a quick post before Ryan and I leave for Germany. I know right? We are leaving again! We had 2 days to recover from our North Carolina trip before packing again but this time for an international trip. I have been trying not to stress to much. How many clothes to take? Well, this girl is only doing a carry-on so wish me luck!
Before I left I knew I needed to get my cooking on since we have been eating out for the past 12 days. A kitchen has not been available or an option so it has been a bit difficult. Now as we head overseas, we have the e.coli scare to worry about. We have had salad the past 2 nights in order to get the raw veggies before we do not touch a single one while in Germany. If you have missed the news, here is an update on the E. Coli Scare.
Anyway, I was saying that I cooked for the past 2 days, making breakfast, lunch and dinner, except for last night where I invited myself to a friend's house for dinner since I was by myself. {Thanks Kristi!} I have had a hankering for apple pie for over a week and I had not had a chance to buy any or to find a slice so I decided that I would use up the leftover sad apples in my fridge to get it done. By the way, sad apples are perfect for apple pie!
When I got back from North Carolina I had a package waiting for me from the nice folks at Kelapo. They sent me an 8 ounce bottle of their virgin coconut oil. I realy like their glass packaging!

That Topshop team sure know how to keep a crowd happy; ply them with food, ship in a glitzy front row (Alexa, Pixie, Nicola Roberts, VV Brown, even a Prada-clad Anna Wintour who was escorted to her seat by Phillip Green) and crank up the bass-heavy soundtrack to ensure that anyone who's flagging is given a much-needed wake-up.
As for the collection itself, it was, it seems, inspired by 101 Dalmations and its star villain, Cruella de Vil. As a result there was fur aplenty (faux of course) from the spotted coats to the stoles, complete with stuffed-toy dogs head, that will surely be sported by the more adventurous front rowers come September. and there were doggy prints covering everything from pussy-bow blouses to shift dresses.
Away from the doggy theme there was a glamorous 1930s vibe, albeit with a Topshop-esque modern twist. Long dresses with art deco prints, printed wide-leg trousers, shrunken jackets, tea dresses and pencil skirts. And, sure to be hitting stores just in time for your Christmas party, a clutch of stand out dresses, from devore minis to daringly cut-out maxis.
And, of course, there was the hair, piled up into to buns to resemble ears. We expect to see copycats (copydogs?) before the day is done.
