A light heavyweight slugfest has been added to UFC 154 on November 17th in Montreal. Cyrille Diabate was originally scheduled to face Fabio Maldonado on the card, but Maldonado was moved to UFC 153 to face off with Glover Teixeira. Instead, Diabate will meet a former Strikeforce heavyweight that's making the drop to 205 for the first time (via UFC Canada's twitter):
Light Heavyweight's Chad Griggs and Cyrille Diabate added to #UFC154 card for Nov 17.— UFC Canada (@UFC_CA) September 19, 2012
Diabate (18-8-1) is 3-2 in the UFC overall, and has alternated wins and losses since his debut. His coming off a majority decision win over Tom DeBlass at UFC on Fuel 2. Griggs (11-2) made his UFC debut against Travis Browne at UFC 145, but was choked out in the first round. He was scheduled to make his light heavyweight debut against Phil Davis at UFC on Fox 4, but suffered an injury and had to bow out. He's apparently healthy now though, and will be looking to throw down with the French muay thai specialist in a couple of months.

Road deaths drop by 28.6 per cent across Greater Manchester (From The Bolton News)
Road deaths drop by 28.6 per cent across Greater Manchester
9:17am Wednesday 16th April 2014 in News
FATALITIES on Greater Manchester's roads have fallen by nearly 30 per cent.
Road deaths have fallen by 28.6 per cent in the past year, according to figures released by the Department for Transport (DfT).
Casualties on Greater Manchester's roads fell by 10 per cent — resulting in 614 fewer accidents last year compared to 2012.
Reducing road casualties in Greater Manchester is a key aim for Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), which works in partnership with Bolton Council and the nine other local authorities in Greater Manchester, police and other agencies.
The reductions follow education and training through projects delivered locally.
Dr Jon Lamonte, chief executive of TfGM, said: "The reduction in the number of people involved in collisions on Greater Manchester's roads is fantastic news, but there is still work to be done: in my view, any casualty is one too many.
"So we will continue to be vigilant by working with local authorities and key partners to keep everyone on our roads safe, to ensure that this positive trend continues."
The fire service, police and Bolton Council of Mosques joined forces to crack down on the amount of dangerous driving incidents.
"Each month an event is held at a different mosque in Bolton to educate people about the dangerous of being irresponsible behind the wheel and see firefighters cut through a car to see what a rescue can involve.

But here I go with an attack on the Bolton News again. The headline reads 'Road deaths drop by 28.6 per cent across Greater Manchester' - fine so far. But what is with the Lancashire Constabulary witness appeals poster as the headline image?
Bolton is sadly in Greater Manchester, and has been since 1974. Lancashire, for some strange reason is in ....................
............ Lancashire, where it has always been.
Attention to detail = BIG FAT ZERO. How you manage to print the correct date on the snoozepaper is beyond me!

They also reduced the number of traffic police too.
Theyd have you beilve that that would cause road deaths to increase, but nooo, it seems to have got better.
That said, i didn't see any drink drive checkpoints last xmas.

Diner Reviews
We caught the tail end of
Restaurant Week at Oyamel. The food was excellent and service was quick. However, the courses did not come out in the order we had anticipated (i.e., as listed on the menu). Yes, dessert came last. But one of us got the main before the soup. And as my wife was finishing her main, the waitstaff delivered her salad. If the waitstaff had explained this when we ordered, we did not hear it. In fact, it was difficult to hear anything at Oyamel. Too loud."

Awesome as always and service
impecable. The standard friendly greeting from Stanley who always makes you feel like family. A Penn Quarter favourite!"
Dined on 8/19/2014
I would highly recommend Queso
with chorizo which came with best tortillas I have ever had!"
Dined on 8/18/2014
We went during Restaurant Week and
could not have been more pleased! Food, service, and ambience was perfect. Especially try the table made guacamole (we had spicy and while it had a good kick, it wasn't overbearing either), ceviche (scallops, bass), pozole verde, and tres leches for dessert! I cannot wait to return!"
Dined on 8/18/2014
Oyamel never disappoints. I think
we secretly wanted our son to go to college in D.C. just so we have an excuse to eat at Oyamel. We ordered 21 tacos between three of us and gobbled up every bit. The carnitas tacos are to die for!"
Dined on 8/17/2014
First time visitors, we got lost
in the extensive menu and were completely delighted at the gluten and dairy free menu. Our vegetarian daughter also found many things that she wanted to order. Our waiter was there to serve us and took good care of us though at times he seemed rushed and we felt a little rushed as well. The place was bustling. We loved the tacos and homemade salsa; the make-it-at-your-table guacamole was terrific, as were the homemade tortilla chips. We ordered a bevy of delightful dishes, our favorite being the ceviche tuna and our least favorite being the poblano chicken, good but not what we expected. There's tons to choose from ...try it, you'll like it!"
Dined on 8/17/2014
This was our first visit to Oyamel
since they moved from Crystal City years ago. We ordered from the restaurant week menu and the food was excellent. The stand-out dish for me was the shrimp with black garlic. Other outstanding dishes were the scallops, the ceviche, and the tamal verde. All three tacos were also excellent. The only minor complaint about service was that the first two courses came out too fast, so that we had half a dozen dishes delivered almost at the same time."
Dined on 8/17/2014
Oyamel continues to provide unique
and outstanding Mexican dishes, unlike the run-of-the-mill Tex Mex places around town. If you can avoid the excellent but pricey drinks, the prices are reasonable."
Dined on 8/17/2014
Had lunch after a bisit to the
museums on the mall. Great meal during Restaurant Week."
Dined on 8/17/2014
Awesome Cevices, we tried almost
all kinds! Service is REALLY slow and you may need to get up and search around to find your waiter, and when you do, they pretend as if nothing has happened! Took us 20 min to get our drinks AFTER we ordered. Overall service is poor but food is great!"
Dined on 8/16/2014
Having spent much time in DF and
Southern Mexico, the picante heat was overpowering, by Mexican standards. Shouldn't need Crema Mexicana to eat quesadillas!"
Dined on 8/16/2014
I thoroughly enjoyed the food and
the small plates were just the right size. They offer a nice range of choices. It is nice way to put together a multicourse meal. Not the stereotypical Mexican fare. The margaritas were delicious. As much as I liked the food, the place was too noisy to hold a conversation easily. We were there for dinner on a Saturday night so it was relatively crowded. The servers were busy, but service was still good. Not a place for a romantic, quiet, long dinner."
Dined on 8/16/2014
This is a fabulous restaurants.
Vegetables dishes are great. Huge variety. Desserts are out of tis world."
Dined on 8/16/2014
It was Restaurant Week and we
order the special menu servings. It was a whole lotta food and we could hardly finish but very tasty and delicious. From the tacos to the dessert. No disappointing course. We will be back!"
Dined on 8/16/2014
We went for lunch following a
visit to the National Gallery. The ambience was very pleasant, colorful, fun. The place was bustling even at about 4:30 in the afternoon. We were expecting a lot from the reviews and reputation, but found the drinks particularly overpriced and underwhelming. We ordered the special cocktail - peach/basil margaritas. We were told it was made with fresh peaches, so at $12, we expected a very large, frozen or thicker concoction but this was mostly ice with not that much drink. I ordered the mushroom taco which sounded really good on the menu, but the flavor was lacking. The swiss chard item was very salty and had way too many cranberries and raisins in it. Overall, not very impressed."
Dined on 8/16/2014
The food was average and the
service was very good, however the restaurant was so loud that we couldn't hear the server and had to yell to have a conversation. With everyone in the resaurant yelling, we couldn't enjoy the experience. It also didn't help that we had the worse table in the restaurant, next to the kitchen."
Dined on 8/15/2014
Excellent food and service, as
usual. One of DC's best restaurants."
Dined on 8/15/2014
We are here during restaurant week
and since we were in a group of four people we tried every thing on the restaurant week menu. It was all delicious. The taco course was good but they are not the best tacos I've ever had not the best tacos in the area. The chicken tamal with green sauce impressed me the most because usually I am not a fan but I really liked this one. Over all I liked the restaurant and would return, but it's pretty expensive for the portion size (we ordered one thing off the regular menu)."
Dined on 8/15/2014
The only negative was the lunch
took too long. I have eaten at Oyamel several times. The cerviche for Restaurant Week was yummy and spicy. The chicken tamale was just okay. I wish there was more of the one tiny taco I had, it was very good. It is nice that for RW you get a dessert. I had the pan con tres leche."
Dined on 8/15/2014
I had never been to Oyamel before,
but had heard good things. When I made the reservation, I didn't even realize it was restaurant week. Generally speaking, I am disappointed with restaurant week menus, but Oyamel's was just outstanding. It was essentially a 5-course tasting menu with 4 solid options for each course (except 2 for desert). I found it difficult to choose between the options, but it seems as though I couldn't go wrong. The brussel sprouts were fantastic as was the ceviche. I enjoyed the energetic scene paired with good food. I would highly recommend Oyamel for a fun night out."
Dined on 8/14/2014
Outstanding ceviche, delectable
tacos, devine drinks. Jose Andres is a genius."
Dined on 8/14/2014
I'm a lover of ALL Mexican food
and this place lived up to my expectations! The service was outstanding as was the food. Be sure to order the guacamole made fresh right at your table. And I wasn't a huge fan of ceviche but now I am! Try the Ceviche estilo Culiacán. It was incredible!"
Dined on 8/14/2014
Went here with my friend for lunch
during restaurant week. The food here does not taste remotely close to authentic Mexican food. Food was prepared with ingredients to promote the idea of fusion but instead made the flavor taste way off. For example we ordered tees leches cake and it was flavored with coffee. Additionally, the cold gazpacho wasn't a soup- it was a melon salad. Not worth spending your money on a meal that tastes off in an attempt to be creatively mexican. I'm never coming back."
Dined on 8/14/2014
Pleasant wait staff and especially
enjoyed-the gaspacho, the pozole verde and the beef taco (chilorio de res). The gaspacho has a wonderful flavor that I was not expecting. You can actually make a meal of just the pork and hominy soup-so good. The beef in the beef taco was the most tender and flavorful I've ever had. The pescadillo sinaloa and the tres leches cake were also really good! However, we were very disappointed with the meatballs in chipotle sauce and the pork taco. The meatballs tasted like canned corn beef hash and the meat in the pork taco was not tender enough and waaaaay too salty. The sauce for the meatballs were delicious though and we used the tortillas they provided to scoop up that delicious chipotle sauce."
Dined on 8/14/2014
Very little worthwhile Mexican
food in DC, with the extreme exception of this exquisite restaurant! While presented in an upscale, funkier manner than normal, the food at Oyamel is absolutely spot-on authentic in flavors, types of dishes presented, and accompanying beverages such as tequila and mezcal, an my Mexican spouse was thrilled with everything offered. Oyamel is great at showing that Mexican food is nuanced, colorful and fresh rather than the glopped-up TexMex plate of refried beans, hard-shell tacos, and molten cheese normally dished up throughout the U.S. Service was seamless and the colorful setting and small plates make this great for a group outing. It's too noisy to have deep conversation, but makes for a lot of energy!"
Dined on 8/13/2014
Get the fish tacos. Add the
watermelon cocktail- you 'll be in total bliss."
Dined on 8/13/2014
My colleague and I decided to try
this place for happy hour because it had received great reviews both online and through friends. Unfortunately, it is not well-advertised that happy hour is only available at the [very crowded] bar area. The drinks and guac lived up to expectations, but found it hard to enjoy my margaritas knowing I was paying double than originally anticipated."
Dined on 8/13/2014
I went here for lunch during
restaurant week. Some of the food was spicy which I didn't realize when ordering so I couldn't eat it. The other food was fried; didn't realize that would be the case either! And service was fair, at best. For lunch, I expect quicker service which we didn't get. 90 minutes later and we were rushing to finish up and get the check. Not sure I'll go again."
Dined on 8/13/2014
Great food, delicious drinks. Our
waiter was very good as well. We participated in Restaurant Week and were able to sample the menu. I would love to come back and try more. (We didn't love our desserts, but everything else was on point!) I also didn't realize there was outside dining - would love to sit outside on a nice day with this delicious food."
Dined on 8/12/2014
Oyamel is not your typical Mexican
restaurant. Besides being a small plates restaurant, the dishes are a different spin on the usual fare you'll find at a Mexican restaurant. The menu was slightly hard to read, as all of the dishes are in Spanish, with an English description, also making ordering difficult for the average restaurant goer. Highly recommend the carnitas tacos with pork rinds and the tres leches cake with pineapple. Delicious!"
Dined on 8/12/2014
This is my second restaurant week
at oyamel. It offers a lot of different tastes (4 samples, vs the usual 3). That you don't get in most restaurants. A great find that people remember and enjoy"
Dined on 8/12/2014
The food, which I was very excited
about, was terrible. Most items were too salty or too spicy. The restaurant was terribly loud, loud enough to where you could barely hear the person across the table from you. I was very excited to try Oyamel, but sadly I will not be returning and will not be recommending to anyone."
Dined on 8/11/2014
I had a great time. Enjoyed the
food. I just felt a bit rushed by the staff who tried to remove my plate before I had finished the food."
Dined on 8/11/2014
I had heard such good things about
Oyamel and was excited for restaurant week to try it out. Unfortunately, the food was very mediocre - the meat dishes in particular (chicken empanada and shredded beef tacos) tasted bad. Even the dessert (I had the panacota) had a very off smell. Between my husband and I, we had 10 different dishes and we enjoyed only 4 of them."
Dined on 8/11/2014
I met a friend for Restaurant Week
and was wowed by the attention of the staff. They were courteous, efficient and got us back to work on time since we were meeting over lunch. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal, the food was delicious!"
Dined on 8/11/2014
This was my second time at Oyamel,
and it was even better than the first! The guacamole is definitely one of the best I've ever had, if it's not the best! My cocktail (a blood orange, tequila, chile mix) was absolutely amazing and creative. Multiple members of our group are vegetarians and there were soo many options for us. It was refreshing to have so many choices and even specials that we could all order! Would definitely recommend this to a friend!"
Dined on 8/9/2014
If you like Mexican food, you
really must treat yourself to a meal at Oyamel. They serve appetizer sized (tapas) meals allowing you to try several different foods -- all great and worthy of another visit. The tableside guacamole is also delicious and the fresh housemade tortillas are the bomb. Fun and friendly staff make the whole experience very worth while."
Dined on 8/8/2014
Oyamel doesn't live up to its hype
as a foodie destination--many of the dishes were overly spiced and bland at the same time. One order of roasted brussels sprouts was tangy but delicious; the table ordered a second one, which was over-cooked and much too spicy to taste anything. The noise level is deafening. The service was very friendly but a little slow. It helps to be under 35 to dine there; younger folks might be more tolerant of so-so food and loud noise; the place is very pretty, and set up to be a meet market."
Dined on 8/6/2014
First visit 2 yr again after
referral from a co-worker. Just came back for another visit. Food still great with large, unusual assortment of menu items. This visit, however, the service was less smooth. Yes, we knew that the food would arrive as available but had to ask again for chips and salsa, food not hot on arrival, queso already becoming rubbery etc. Having said that, I would return and order the same items but would ask for a different server and expediter."
Dined on 8/6/2014
This was our first time dining at
Oyamel. It was on our list of places to go for some time, but we just hadn't gotten around to it. We were definitely impressed! This isn't your typical Mexican restaurant; it's tapas style and it's definitely more of Mexican fusion. You can still taste the Mexican/Latin American heritage of the dishes, but they've really done something special to them. The Ceviche de Chamoy and the Goditas de Pato we're table favorites. Oh and can't forget the Margaritas - they're excellent!"

dude, i wish i could give this girl a million whitelists for the transaction we just had.
kept me updated every bit of the way, and she shipped super fast too.
lightning fast service & replies, and super nice. and very trustworthy
you won't be disappointed with her :)
Here to leave a positive mark because Juny definitely deserves it. Wish I could leave more than one because she has been incredibly helpful, even with things beyond our transaction.
Definitely treats customers with some amazing courtesy and respect. She's unbelievably helpful, honest, trustworthy and understanding, going beyond her role as a seller.
As for the items I bought, they're just as stated in their description. Questions of any kind can expect prompt answers and I absolutely love that items with free shipping only get charged the extra difference for international customers.
Most pleasing online shopping I've ever done, and I definitely look forward to my next transaction at Junys.
Thank you for such a great shopping experience :D :D :D
This is the BEST seller on soompi!!
1.She is friendly and caring with customers. A+ customer satisfaction. (+1)
2.Answers pm's ridiculously fast; Within 24-36hours! (+1)
3.She is reasonable with prices! I had a situation, she understood and lowered the price for me! (+1)
4.Her products are one of the best in the forum; updated daily, descriptively explained items and pictures are fabulous! (+1)
5.Shipping is so fast! It took approximately 2-4 days to get here! TX-->NY! (+1)
TOTAL: +5 STARS!! and this was my first transaction with her!
I've already put in a second transaction order! I can't wait for my items to get here!
This is my second transaction with her, and she is such a sweetheart and a kind seller! I was having problems with my mail, and PMed her about it, and she was very nice about keeping it safe~
so I just went through about 14 transaction (some of them are still ongoing) at once. (haha I like indulging myself in shopping sprees) and it helped me to compare and contrast different sellers. Most sellers I've worked with had no problems at all. I have been buying stuff from soompi since 2004 and I realized that soompiers are usually good, friendly business partners ;p.
But, I dislike whitelisting people unless there is something that really "wow-ed" me about their service. (haha it's something I've changed to recently b/c I used to whitelist everybody)
but juny really stood out to me. so here are my thoughts:
+ juny
responds to PMs ridiculously fast & it shipped fast as well
clothes are packaged really nicely/professionally - it was folded and neatly put in a bag. something which I really appreciated b/c I had a soompier that completely tried to stuff the package and I ended up ripping the cloth in the process of trying to open the package.
the clothes itself were of wonderful quality - they are completely true to her descriptions and are absolutely, and totally cute. I've gotten a lot of compliments about them already. hehe.
the willingness to be flexible and understanding - i wanted something else as a freebie that wasn't listed as part of the freebie and she gave it to me when she saw that what I wanted was pretty reasonable. also, when I had doubts about certain items, she helped me to solidify my decision to buy it by giving me extra descriptions. and I don't regret listening to her at all.
the gift that was added in without my knowledge was just an extra plus that made my day.
I definitely am planning to return to her store when I go another shopping spree. thanks for making the transaction so smooth & easy.

By now you've probably heard - The Rangers have traded RP Chris Ray and a PTBNL to the Giants for C Bengie Molina. On the surface, this looks (to me anyway) like we're trading our suck for their suck, which sucks because we have a non-sucky catcher that doesn't need his playing time split more than it already is. But let's look at it a little deeper. Is this a hard case to make? Sort of. I'm not trying to say this is the Teixeira trade, but it's not exactly...well, think about that crappy Rangers trade that you always bring up when you're trying to make the case that a certain GM is terrible. It's not that trade, either.
Let's get this out of the way: You will not find the words grittiness, leadership, or Veteranocity™ in this post. I tend to value these more than the average LSB-er, but my objective is to use the numbers to tell the story.
We'll start with comparing Bengie to our own catchers currently on the 25-man. If you're like me and you looked up all their numbers as soon as you heard, they're probably still fresh on your mind and you'll be able to recognize them when you see them. Just try to keep an open mind.
Catcher A: .257/.312/.332, wOBA: .284 (not good at all), ISO: .074, BABIP: .269, LD%: 17.3 (sort of unlucky, but not terribly so), K%: 9.4
Catcher B: .237/.315/.378, wOBA: .308, ISO: .141, BABIP: .254, LD%: 18.6 (pretty unlucky), K%: 17.9
Catcher C: .217/.341/.348, wOBA: .316, ISO: .130, BABIP: .277, LD%: 10.2 (pretty lucky), K%: 31.9
Catcher C is wOBA-ing better than the others, but he's been pretty lucky. You have to like the gap between AVG and OBP, but the BB/K ratio is 0.55.
Catcher B is the most well-rounded in my opinion, and his stats are likely to look a little better as he regresses (progresses?) to the mean.
Catcher A is not looking so hot, but at least he has the low K% working for him. He also has the highest BB/K of the group at 0.74. B is at 0.55.
A = Molina. B = Treanor. C = Ramirez.
But wait, you say. This is supposed to make the case FOR the trade. Almost everything you're posting says otherwise. Two things.
First, park adjustment. The wOBAr's for each player:
Molina: .312
Treanor: .329
Ramirez: .307
Treanor is still the clear leader here. When you consider that Molina's regression will likely result in an improvement while Max's will be the opposite, the case is made that Molina > Max, at least offensively. Let's also put to rest the notion that Bengie is a "free swinger." He's simply not, and he looks even more disciplined when compared to Ramirez.
Second, in order for this trade to be considered worthwhile, Bengie doesn't have to be better than Treanor, he just has to be better than Max, which I believe he is. Now, if Wash falls in love with him and starts playing him 5 days a week, we have a problem. We'll discuss this more when we get to Chris Ray.
Defensively, the report is that Molina's skills have declined. I don't know much about defensive metrics, especially for catcher, but I have faith in the good people at Beyond the Boxscore, and this chart seems to confirm that suspicion. You will notice his close proximity to Max Ramirez at the bottom of the table.
In summary, I see Molina as another Max Ramirez, just older and with (much) less strikeouts. If we see a 60/40 or similar split with Treanor taking the majority of the starts, I'm okay with that.
Still not convinced? Me neither, at least not until we start talking about what we gave up, or more accurately, which player we suckered the Giants into taking.
Chris Ray doesn't just suck. He sucks golf balls through a garden hose. In 46 games, Ray has pitched 43.1 innings. His K/9 and BB/9 are both 4.55, which makes K/BB a simple calculation, so he's got that going for him. (Really not, though. Not one of those is a good number. He's 8th worst among qualified RP's in K/9 and 7th worst in K/BB.) Because of this, his FIP is a gaudy 5.29 (Bottom 20 among qualified relievers, which includes the likes of Trevor Hoffman and Bob Howry), and his xFIP is even higher at 5.88 (5th worst among qualified relievers). This might be attributed to his high strand rate (I'm not sure how xFIP is calculated) of 81.4%. His BABIP is an insane .214, though the LD% of 11.4 actually suggests he's been UNlucky. His career numbers are .279 and 18.3%, so something's up. He's added a mildly effective curveball that he throws 8% of the time, so maybe that accounts for some of it. This may be the only thing keeping him from the distinction of being hands down the worst reliever in the league.
Let's go back to one of the first things I said about Chris Ray. He has 46 appearances. In other words, he's pitched in almost 60% of the Rangers' games. I don't know how many of these count as high-leverage (maybe somebody can help me with that?), but anecdotally, I'm sure we can all remember at least one time where we have screamed, "Chris Ray? WHY GOD WHY?!" What this amounts to is JD taking one of Wash's toys that he shouldn't be playing with away from him. Is it possible that he gave him another Chinese toy with lead paint all over it? Possibly. Washington loves him some gritty veterans. But since Bengie Molina is just another Max Ramirez, I see this as addition by subtraction.

Wildland Fire Management:
Lack of a Cohesive Strategy Hinders Agencies' Cost-Containment Efforts
GAO-07-427T: Published: Jan 30, 2007. Publicly Released: Jan 30, 2007.

Over the past two decades, the number of acres burned by wildland fires has increased, often threatening human lives, property, and ecosystems. The cost of responding to wildland fires has also grown, especially as more homes are built in or near wildlands, an area called the wildland-urban interface. Past management practices, including a concerted federal policy in the 20th century of suppressing fires to protect communities and ecosystems, unintentionally resulted in steady accumulation of dense vegetation that can fuel large, intense, and often costly wildland fires. GAO was asked to identify actions that federal wildland fire agencies need to take to help contain federal wildland fire expenditures. GAO has identified these actions in three of its reports addressing fuel reduction and cost-sharing efforts and as part of an ongoing review of federal agencies' efforts to contain wildland fire preparedness and suppression costs for this committee. Specifically, GAO focused on examining agencies' efforts to (1) reduce accumulated fuels and address wildland fire problems, (2) share with nonfederal entities the costs of responding to multijurisdictional fires, and (3) contain the costs of preparing for and responding to wildland fires.
Over the past 7 years, GAO has recommended a number of actions federal wildland fire agencies should take to improve their management of wildland fire activities, actions that could also help contain the rising federal expenditures for responding to wildland fires. These agencies--the Forest Service within the Department of Agriculture and land management agencies within the Department of the Interior--concurred with GAO's recommendations but have not completed, or in some cases have not yet begun, needed actions. GAO's ongoing review of federal agencies' efforts to contain wildland fire preparedness and suppression costs has also identified other actions that may be needed. Specifically, the agencies need to: (1) Develop a cohesive strategy that identifies the options and associated funding to reduce fuels and address wildland fire problems. In 1999, to address the problem of excess fuels and their potential to increase the severity of wildland fires and the cost of suppression efforts, GAO recommended that a cohesive strategy be developed that identified the available long-term options and associated funding for reducing these fuels. In 2005 and 2006, because the agencies had not yet developed one, GAO reiterated the need for such a strategy but broadened its focus to better address the interrelated nature of fuel reduction efforts and wildland fire response. GAO also recommended that, as an interim step, the agencies develop a tactical plan outlining the steps and time frames needed for completing a cohesive strategy. As of January 2007, the agencies had not developed either a cohesive strategy or a tactical plan. (2) Clarify their guidance for sharing wildland fire suppression costs with nonfederal entities. In 2006, to address the rising costs of responding to fires that threaten both federal and nonfederal lands and resources, GAO recommended that the federal agencies provide more specific guidance as to when particular cost-sharing methods should be used. The cost-sharing method used can have significant financial consequences for the entities involved--potentially amounting to millions of dollars. As of January 2007, the agencies were updating their guidance on possible cost-sharing methods and when each typically would be used, but it is unclear how the agencies will ensure that the guidance is followed. (3) Establish clear goals, strategies, and performance measures to help contain wildland fire costs. Preliminary findings from GAO's ongoing work indicate that the effectiveness of agencies' efforts to contain costs may be limited because the agencies have not clearly defined their cost-containment goals, developed a strategy for achieving those goals, or developed related performance measures. For these efforts to be effective, the agencies need to integrate cost-containment goals with the other goals of the wildland fire program--such as protecting life and property--and to recognize that trade-offs will be needed to meet desired goals within the context of fiscal constraints.

Pryor was 13 of 28 for 150 yards, two touchdowns and an interception on Sunday against the Chargers.||||||| Pryor also ran nine times for 49 yards and another score in the loss to San Diego.
Pryor will make his first career start at quarterback for the Oakland Raiders in their season finale in San Diego.||||||| Coach Dennis Allen announced Friday that he is picking Pryor to start Sunday's game in place of the injured Carson Palmer. Pryor and Matt Leinart had been splitting time in practice earlier this week but Allen decided to go with the younger Pryor.
Raiders coach Dennis Allen says he won't pick a starting quarterback until after Friday's practice but it seems likely Terrelle Pryor and Matt Leinart will both get to play in Sunday's season finale.||||||| With Carson Palmer sidelined for Oakland's season finale in San Diego with cracked ribs and a bruised lung, backup Leinart and third-stringer Pryor have been sharing time at practice this week.
Pryor and Matt Leinart shared reps in practice on Wednesday. However, coach Dennis Allen did not select a starter for Sunday's game in San Diego.||||||| Allen said Wednesday that Leinart and Pryor split the workload with Oakland's first-team offense during practice, but Pryor later said Leinart took the majority of reps. Leinart has started just two games since 2007 while Pryor has never started in his two NFL seasons.
After spending most of the season on the bench, Terrelle Pryor has been playing a key role this week for the Oakland Raiders by impersonating Cam Newton in practice. Pryor could have an even higher-profile role come game time Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. Offensive coordinator Greg Knapp says Pryor will get on the field in certain specialty packages for the Raiders (4-10).||||||| Pryor made his season debut last week, handing the ball off twice and throwing one incomplete pass as he coaching staff wanted to give him an entire series. The next step is using him in specific situations that can take advantage of his athleticism at quarterback.

Changes in mail service still on track
The shift of virtually all mail-sorting responsibilities from Hays to the Wichita Post Office is still on track to take place in January.
That's a move that will slow the delivery of mail even more.
Already, overnight service is only available for letters mailed to either the 675 Zip code area, that area served by Hutchinson, or letters originating and heading to an area served by the 676-Zip code.
After January, said retiring Hays Postmaster Tom Lippert, all mail will take two to three days to deliver -- even mail dropped off in Hays bound for another Hays address.
That's because virtually everything will be going to Wichita for sorting and the U.S. Postal Service will be adjusting its delivery standards.

The Faculty History Project documents faculty members who have been associated with the University of Michigan since 1837, and the history of the University's schools and colleges. This project is part of a larger effort to prepare resources for the University's bicentennial in 2017. Find out more.
Regents' Proceedings 348
Donald J. Lewis, Ph.D., professor of mathematics in the College of Literature, Science and the Arts, retired from active faculty status on May 31, 2000.
Professor Lewis received his B.S. degree from the College of St. Thomas in 1946 and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Michigan in 1949 and 1950, respectively. From 1950-52, he was an instructor at The Ohio State University and in 1952-53 he was an NSF fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton. From 1953-61, he was a faculty member at Notre Dame University. He joined the University of Michigan as an associate professor in 1961 and was promoted to professor in 1963. Professor Lewis served as chair of the Department of Mathematics from 1984-94, with a break of one year to visit the Institute for Advanced Study.
Professor Lewis' research lies in an area of number theory concerned primarily with diophantine problems and encompasses the theory of algebraic number fields and function fields and arithmetic geometry. It is characteristic especially of his earlier work that he was the first to obtain any kind of result on a problem, and that this decisive progress cleared the way for subsequent developments. The work in his thesis concerning the local solubility of cubic forms, however, remains definitive. Also noteworthy is a series of papers produced in collaboration with Harold Davenport, which laid the foundation for the investigation of a number of diophantine problems, especially diagonal variants. He is the author of 55 research papers and a number of survey papers, and he directed 24 doctoral theses.
From 1995-99, Professor Lewis was based in Washington, D.C., as the director of the Division of Mathematical Sciences of the Natural Science Foundation. He has received numerous awards, including a Distinguished Faculty Achievement Award from the University in 1978 and an Alexander von Humboldt Preis Award in 1980. He was awarded the Distinguished Public Service Award of the American Mathematical Society in 1995 in recognition of his many contributions to mathematics research and education.
The Regents now salute this valued faculty member by naming Donald J. Lewis professor emeritus of mathematics.

I have noticed that Paul Wulff does not wear his headset anymore. I can't remember when he stopped wearing it (after the MSU game?), but it has been on my mind the last few weeks. I just think it looks weird not seeing him or seeing any head coach without a headset (besides JoePa). The reason I am writing this is because of something I heard on the radio while driving home from work today. I was listening to ESPN radio in southern California and they were talking about Joe Paterno. They said it is obvious he has checked out and he doesn't run the team any more. They thought one obvious indicator is that he doesn't wear a headset. I have always wondered why Wulff wouldn't want to hear the play calls or be able to communicate with his coaches better through the headset, it can be hard to communicate if it gets loud. (Maybe, that's not a problem currently at Martin) It would also help him decide if he thinks his coaches are doing the right thing, so when they watch game film he can remember what exactly was called and doesn't have to ask. I thought about other coaches in the Pac10 and I couldn't think of one that doesn't wear a headset. Below is a collection of the current Top 5 BCS coaches. They all wear headsets. I don't know what this exactly means, but it makes me wonder. I could draw several reasons or multiple scenarios on this, but I will leave the comments up to. I guess I will throw out one idea. Maybe it is because he really isn't an offensive or defensive coach like most head coaches. Most head coaches came from either the defensive or offensive side of the game. I am not sure what Wulff's emphasis is (or has been) besides that he played OL at WSU.
Pre Anti-Headset at EWU
#1 Oklahoma - Bob Stoops
#2 Oregon - Chip Kelly
#3 Boise St. - Chris Peterson
#4 Auburn - Gene Chizik
#5 TCU - Gary Patterson
Hmmmmmm? What is going on Wulff?
By the way I like Wulff and this isn't to slight him, I just am curious why the switch. Maybe he can answer this for us in the future. I also think he will make me look bad for writing this and wear his headset at Stanford. He probably will because of crowd noise.

We are going to try and reveal whether or not this product can be used as an effective weight loss supplement, or if it is all just promoted hype.
Pomegranate based ingredients.
Product Features
There were some claims that were mentioned on a website that stated what this Total POM is supposed to do. Some of these claims were that you can now receive the same benefits as eating an actual pomegranate in a convenient and non-messy pill form. It is mentioned that the intentions of this product is that it is supposed to help you to lose excess body weight, to rid your body of unwanted toxins, to help boost your level of energy, and to help improve the overall health of your skin. This product is not only good for your overall health, but it is definitely good for your heart and it can also, most importantly, help you to remove cholesterol form your blood, thus preventing clogged arteries.
- Very beneficial for your overall health.
- Is a tremendous source of antioxidants.
- May help you to lower your cholesterol.
- This product appears to be very expensive at this time.
- In order to participate in the free trial, you have to participate in the auto-ship program.
- No facts were found to support it as being a weight loss product.
The pomegranate fruit is known in the nutrition industry as being a type of super food that is multi-functional, that is beneficial to us in many different ways. Although it would not surprise us, due to the already amazing capabilities of the pomegranate, it does seem necessary to note, however, that there have been no studies found that can support the idea of the pomegranate having any weight loss abilities. And it seems as though there free trial is not really free at all, being that it is necessary to enroll in the auto-ship program and pay an up-front fee.
Customers may be more willing to try this product if the free trial were actually free, and if the website were not so vague and actually had some sort of clinical trial to back it up.

This is the first year without the Snowboarding U.S. Open at Stratton. But a new event is coming down the pipe.
The first Vermont Open begins Friday and runs through the weekend. Organizers Seth Neary and Mike Hayes tell us about the inspiration for the event.
The Vermont Open, which welcomes riders from across the region, will include a rail-jam, half-pipe competition, and banked slalom course.
Last week, Burton held the 31st Annual U.S. Open. But it was in Colorado.
It's the first time in the event's history it has been held outside Vermont.

A Radio Flyer Fit For The Road
A retired Alaskan couple is causing a stir in the city of Wasillathanks to their unusual mode of transport - A real-life Radio Flyer vehicle, complete with an 8-foot tall black fiberglass handle that soars high above the front bumper.
However, this Radio Flyer does not need to be lugged around - That's because it has been crafted around a 1976 Mazda pick up truck that had been gathering dust inside Fred Keller's garage. While Mr. Keller made some modifications, he left the engine and some of the other parts like the instrument panel of the Honda, intact.
The 68-year old retired mechanic and his wife Judy Foster, who both grew up with the iconic toys, got the idea after they saw a hot rod version at a car show in Portland.
Mr. Keller built the outer structure with marine plywood, foam, fiberglass cloth and epoxy resin. In order to make it as authentic-looking as possible, the couple installed smaller wheels, painted the hubcaps white and used laundry detergent caps for hubs. In true Radio Flyer fashion, it also doesn't have doors, which means that the couple have to climb in and out with the help of a foot stool they keep in the back at all times. But most important of all, it is a convertible - After all, a Radio Flyer with a roof wouldn't really look as cool would it?

You have been asked to come for a colposcopy because your cervical smear test has shown evidence of abnormal cells. This procedure determines the cause of the abnormalities and lets the doctor/nurse colposcopist decide if you need treatment.
Evidence of abnormal cells not unusual - about one in twelve smears is abnormal and it usually means small changes have been found in cells on the cervix (neck of the womb). These changes are known as dyskaryosis and act as early warning signals that cervical cancer might develop in the future. It is very rare indeed for these abnormalities to be cancer. For some women the changes in the cervix return to normal by themselves, other women need simple outpatient treatment that's virtually 100% effective.
Changing and cancelling appointments
It is very important to try and keep your appointment. However if you wish to change it or for any reason you are unable to attend then please telephone the Elizabeth Outpatient Department on 01895 279670. (Please note you can change your appointments only once). If you fail to attend without informing us you will be automatically discharged back to your GP. Waiting times for people to be seen in the colposopy clinic are made longer by people who fail to attend for their appointments. If you cancel your appointment this could be offered to somebody else.
Colposcopy during pregnancy
If you are pregnant when you are invited to attend the Colposcopy clinic for a First or Follow up appointment, please inform the Doctor or Nurse Colposcopist at your appointment. It is a safe to have a Colposcopy during your pregnancy, and it does not cause any harm to the baby. You may find that if you have been seen early in your pregnancy, you could also require a further assessment later in your pregnancy. Even if you require treatment, it is usually safe to wait until after the baby is born.
Further information
If you have any questions/queries before you attend, please do not hesitate to contact our Nurse Colposcopist. This is a teaching hospital, sometimes student doctors/nurses may be present during your clinic appointment. Although attending these clinics is part of their training, it is your choice if you do not wish them to be present. Whatever your decision, your treatment and the standard of care you receive will not be affected.
Patient information leaflets are available in our Outpatient Department.

Picture: Anushka Sharma during her school days
By Bollywood Hungama News Network, May 3, 2011 – 12:19 IST
Till a few years ago, she was one of the front runners in the modelling industry… till the time… time stood still for her! Little did she know that she was the answer to not just someone's prayers, but also a nationwide massive search for the heroine of his mega project which had the Prince Of Hearts himself playing the lead!
If you are one of those who have guessed it right, then full marks to you, but for all those who are still wondering who she is, then, here's the answer. She is the one who is circled, and who is all the time circled by topmost directors and producers alike… just waiting for her to sign the dotted line. She is none other than Anushka Sharma, the girl who became an overnight sensation with her debut film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. We chanced upon her childhood picture on the web and decided to share it with you!
Though from a school girl to one of the country's biggest actress, Anushka has come a long way, her million dollar smile still remains the same.

I know it may seem like all I do around here is circle like a vulture and pick at the bloating corpse that is the San Diego Padres... come to think of it, that's pretty much all I've done since I joined the site. But you've got to understand that all I want to do is go back to AN and throw out an idea and create an intelligent, stimulating discussion. That typically means starting a conversation with enough information to feed both sides of the story.
So here I am crashing your party again.
I need to ask 2 questions today. The first is pretty simple. As Padres fans who have seen many a game, could Brain Giles be an average starting CF next year?
The second might cause a bit more discussion. Assuming Giles could play CF and that the entire sports media complex isn't completely wrong about the Padres' financial state, what would it take to make Brian Giles an Oakland A in 2009? You don't have to give me specific names just positions of need. With the Peavy-to-Atlanta deal DOA I imagine the priority list has changed somewhat since last we spoke.
Let me know what you think. Thanks.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - The Arthritis Foundation hosted a walk at Hugh MacRae Park to squash stereotypes associated with the disease.
The walk showed the many faces of arthritis. Walk organizers shared facts like two-thirds of arthritis sufferers are under the age of 65. They also said children as young as a year or even dogs are diagnosed with the disease.
"Kids get arthritis too. It affects everyone and anyone," said Kensleigh Ables who suffers from the disease. "Arthritis doesn't pick favorites."

Osborne hits jackpot for hospice with briefcase doodle
11:30am Friday 15th February 2013 in News
KNUTSFORD'S MP helped raise £20,000 for East Cheshire Hospice thanks to this doodle of his red box, pictured.
George Osborne penned the picture for the Times Doodle Auction, which was auctioned by Christies last week.
He said: "I am thrilled my 'doodle' has raised such a large sum of money for the hospice, which is a great local charity helping people at their greatest hour of need in my constituency."

The Austin Police Department has released the name and mugshot of the suspect in last weekend's shooting involving a police officer.
According to authorities, Fernando Estrada, 22, twice attempted to run over an officer, who was working another traffic situation nearby, after hitting another vehicle in a Shell station parking lot and trying to leave the scene.
APD Chief Art Acevedo said someone flagged the officer down and said that Estrada had hit their car. Estrada, driving a black truck, was allegedly attempting to get away when the officer ordered him to stop. According to police, Estrada then drove his truck toward the officer. The officer was able to get out of the way, and once again told Estrada to stop.
Estrada again accelerated in the direction of the police officer. The officer immediately moved out of the way while simultaneously firing several rounds at the truck, striking it multiple times, according to APD.
According to police, Estrada continued driving the truck down Rundberg, hitting another vehicle along the way. When he got to a traffic jam at Rundberg and Lamar, Estrada allegedly pulled into the H.E.B. parking lot and crashed into a sign before the officer arrested him.
Estrada was not injured in the shooting or the crash, according to Chief Acevedo.
He is faces four counts of Failure to Stop at the Scene of an Accident, Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol and Aggravated Assault of a Peace Officer.

CDC34 encodes a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (Ubc/E2) that catalyzes Skp1-Cullin-F-box (SCF) ubiquitin protein ligase-mediated substrate ubiquitination (3, 6, 7). SCF-mediated ubiquitination involves three sequential enzymatic steps: ATP-dependent activation of ubiquitin through the formation of a high-energy thioester linkage with a ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1); transfer of the activated ubiquitin to a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2); and the E2-catalyzed transfer of activated ubiquitin to a specific lysine residue(s) of the target protein, aided by substrate-specific components of SCF ubiquitin protein ligase complexes (E3s). This sequence is repeated until multiple chains of ubiquitin are attached, thereby marking the protein for rapid degradation by the 26S proteasome (reviewed in 8 and 4).
SCF ubiquitin protein ligases are RING-H2 type ligase family members that function as target recognition modules, bringing Cdc34p and substrates into close proximity, thereby positioning Cdc34p for efficient transfer of activated ubiquitin (reviewed in 4, 9 and 10). SCF ubiquitin ligase core complexes are composed of several shared subunits including Skp1p, an adaptor protein that binds and recruits a variety of F-box containing proteins (11, 7); Cdc53p, a cullin family member that recruits Cdc34p to Skp1p/F-box proteins (12, 13, 14); Hrt1p, a RING-H2 domain protein that stimulates ubiquitin-ligase activity (15, 16); and Cdc34p, a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of activated ubiquitin to the target protein (3, 6, 7). In addition to these shared subunits SCF complexes also contain one of several unique F-box motif containing proteins (Cdc4p, Grr1p, Met30p, Dia2p, or Saf1p) that function as substrate-specific adaptors or specificity determinants recruiting multiply phosphorylated substrates to the SCF core complex (reviewed in 4, 17 and 18). Multiple SCF-F-box specific substrates have been identified. SCF-Cdc4p facilitates the polyubiquitination of Sic1p (6, 7), Far1p (19, 20), Cdc6p (21, 22), Clb6p (23) and Hac1p (24); substrates of SCF-Grr1p include Cln1p, Cln2p (13, 25, 26), Gic1p, and Gic2p (27); substrates of SCF-Met30p include Met4p (28) and Swe1p (29); SCF-Dia2p polyubiquitinates Tec1p (30); and SCF-Saf1p polyubiquitinates Aah1p (31, 32). The F-box proteins Cdc4p, Grr1p, and Met30p are also intrinsically unstable and are able to catalyze their own SCF-mediated ubiquitination and destruction via an autocatalytic mechanism proposed to facilitate rapid switching among multiple SCF complexes (33, 34). As a component of the SCF core complex, Cdc34p has been directly implicated in the ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis of all of the substrates listed above (26, 13, 12, 35, 21, 23, 12, 36, 29, 37, 12, 19, 24, 27, 30, 31).
cdc34 was originally identified as a cell division cycle (CDC) mutant that arrests at the G1/S phase transition with multiple elongated buds and unreplicated DNA, similar to cdc4, cdc53 and hrt1 mutants (14, 3, 16, 38). Deletion of the CDK inhibitor SIC1 alters the terminal phenotype of cdc34, cdc53 and cdc4 mutants, resulting in cells that now arrest at the G2/M phase transition of the cell cycle with replicated DNA and a single round bud (27, 39). It is therefore the accumulation of this SCF substrate (Sic1p) that is solely responsible for the failure of these mutants to enter into S phase, and emphasizes the importance of ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis for regulated passage through key cell cycle transitions.
Cdc34p is regulated by phosphorylation, autoubiquitination and self-association (38, 40, 41). The carboxy-terminal tail of Cdc34p is phosphorylated on serine residues by casein kinase 2 (a tetrameric enzyme containing Cka1p, Cka2p, Ckb1p, and Ckb2p), and phophorylation regulates the intrinsic catalytic activity of the enzyme and its activity when assayed in the presence of SCF-Cdc4p (42). The modulation of Cdc34p activity in turn affects the expression of methionine (MET) biosynthetic genes (43, 44) as well as cell cycle progression (42), due to effects on Cdc34p substrates. Cdc34p is also able to catalyze its own ubiquitination via a mechanism that involves intramolecular transfer of the thiol-ester linked ubiquitin to a C-terminal lysine residue (40). Autoubiquitination of Cdc34p is stimulated by SCF, or by a Cdc53p-Hrt1p subcomplex (26, 15), although the regulatory importance of this modification has yet to be determined. Cdc34p interacts with itself in a ubiquitin-thiolester formation dependent manner and self-association is required for both its catalytic activity and its cell cycle function (41, 45).
CDC34 is evolutionarily conserved and a human CDC34 homolog (OMIM) has been identified based on functional complementation (46, 47). The subunit composition of the human SCF ubiquitin protein ligase is also conserved (48), and like Cdc34p, the human protein is phosphorylated by casein kinase 2 (49). Substrates of the human protein include oncoproteins and tumor suppressors (47, 50, 51).

Such a great sweater! I have been thinking about making this pattern for months now but don't think I quite have the skills yet. Yours is amazing!

I've had this sweater on my queue list (on Ravelry) for years, and it was a Knit-Along that finally pushed me to do it. There were some first time cable knitters in the Knit-Along so feel free to be fearless!

In prior renditions of synchronous DRAM such as SDRAM, DDR and DDR2, JEDEC pushed hard on speed without worrying too much about power, said Jim Handy, director of Objective Analysis. With DDR3 and LPDDR3, JEDEC worked to bring the power specifications back down while continuing to increase speed.
But adoption typically depends on other parts of the system, Handy said. For cell phones it's less sudden than it is in PCs, where a single supplier dictates which interface the chipsets are going to support. But the power advantage is a sufficiently compelling reason for device makers to quickly switch over to LPDDR3.
"I would anticipate a quick conversion of cell phones to LPDDR3. In tablets, so far Apple is the only supplier of any significance, so adoption depends solely on their moves," Handy said.
It's hard to predict when Samsung will ramp up production of LPDDR3, Handy said.
"Samsung has announced products lately that don't show up in production systems for over a year," Handy said.

Iconic Dunlop bridge at Donington Park sold at auction
The iconic Dunlop Bridge, which used to span the Donington Park race circuit, was today sold at auction.
The piece of racing memorabilia sold for £250, with the proceeds going to Hope Against Cancer – a charity based in Leicester.
The Bridge, which stood for 30 years, was taken down in 2009 at the start of work to upgrade the track in the previous operator's failed bid to host the British Grand Prix.
When that fell through the future of the circuit was left in doubt and the steelwork for the structure was sold off as scrap.
