City skaters roll in to new park
4:00pm Monday 20th August 2012 in Gwent news
SKATERS in Newport have a new playground thanks to the opening of the city's only indoor skate park.
Bikers, rollerbladers and scooter riders are being encouraged to put the new Fear and Rolling park on the Leeway Industrial Estate to the test following its opening three weeks ago.
The 10,000 sq ft facility has half pipes, ramps, jumps and stunt rails, and another section set to include a foam pit and jump box is under construction.
Owner Tom Bowman, who runs an online blading and boarding company of the same name, was inspired to open the skate park because he felt there was a lack of indoor space in the city after the loss of CJ's Skate park in Herbert Road, which was destroyed in a fire in 2010.
The rollerblader who took up the hobby around 12 years ago says he has had positive feedback so far and hopes it will encourage others to take up the activity.
He said: "People are really enjoying it. I think it will compliment the one being built in Tredegar Park, people will think let's go to Newport because they have two."
The skate park is open to all ages and Mr Bowman hopes to soon be able to offer lessons.

Today's weather forecast: Dry Like Toast
Bitters[dashes for modern mixology]Saddle up to the (free!) bitters bar at Silver Lake's Bar Keeper, where you can taste homegrown examples of the cocktail fillip. You'll find citrusy yuzu and toasted pecan tinctures from Miracle Mile Bitters Co. and spicy blood orange-ginger and strawberry-chile flavors from Highland Park's Bitter Tears. Downtown's GreenBar Collective invites mixologists to submit their formulas, and the winners are bottled under the Bar Keep label. We'll drink to that.
Blanchet, Michel[L.A.'s king of smoked fish]While at L'Ermitage—once L.A.'s premier salute to French fine dining—Blanchet personally cured the salmon for every amuse-bouche. The restaurant closed in 1991, but the chef hasn't given up his love for smoking seafood. At Michel Cordon Bleu, his Leimert Park factory, he sprinkles Idaho trout with fresh dill and slices Canadian salmon paper-thin before sliding it into his hickory wood smoker. The ethereal results, available at Wally's Wine in Westwood, end up in the hands of chefs like Josiah Citrin and Joël Robuchon. They're mighty fine on a bagel, too.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Organizers at SPAC are getting ready for Saturday's Farm Aid 2013 and are giving concert goers something that will make their lives a little easier.
Since there will be a lot going on at SPAC on Saturday, concert goers will be able to us a new app this year that can be downloaded onto smart phones.
For the first time concert goers will be able to access the entire Farm Aid experience in the palm of their hands. It's the Farm Aid 2013 mobile app, giving people a list of what time artists will be performing and what vendors they can check out.
And that's Including the Home Grown Village, which will be featuring over 50 interactive exhibits, giving concert goers a chance to meet farmers and their products.
People get hands on with it and when they taste the food and they know the difference and know the crucial importance that they get involved.
Farm Aid was started back in 1985 by artist Willie Nelson who wanted to assist farmers during the farm crisis. And 26 years later Willie Nelson and other performers are trying to raise awareness about family farmers and the challenges they face.
The concert venue changes every year. This will be Farm Aid's second year in NY State. They sold 25,000 Tickets in four days.
Saratoga Police tell NEWS10 ABC they have been in touch with other venues that hosted Farm Aid. Officials say they're handling this event like Traverse Day at the Saratoga Race Track.
Police are saying they are expecting another 10-thousand people to show up who don't have tickets and will instead be tailgating outside the park.

This is something I originally wrote up as a collection of research for someone who was considering writing a piece on TRT in MMA, but since it's come up again and i've noticed some misconceptions starting to fly I figured i'd put it up here.
It's not a particularly easy read, and I think at some point it mentions Doc Benjamin by name - as i say it's an old piece, i'm not harking back to take a shot at him or anything, at the time this was written it was timely and relevant.
Hopefully you guys find it informative or useful, and i apologize for the dryness.
Research including sources after the jump.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy is the term used to refer to treatment of two specific diagnoses – Primary hypogonadism and Secondary hypogonadism.
Primary hypogonadism refers to any issue which causes the testicles (gonads) to no longer produce the required amount of testosterone for a person to function normally. In women it refers to the ovaries rather than the testicles. Primary Hypogonadism is also known as Hypergonadotropic Hypogonadism.
A non-exhaustive list of causes of primary hypogonadism[1][2]:
Certain autoimmune disorders
Genetic & Developmental disorders: e.g., Klinefelter's syndrome, Anorchia
Toxins: Alcohol, heavy metals
Orchitis (inflammation of the testicles, caused by infections or STDs. Most common post puberty)
Liver & Kidney Disease
Trauma (Trauma in this incidence refers to direct testicular trauma, as opposed to in Secondary Hypogonadism which refers most often to head trauma.)
Steroid abuse[3]
Ageing [4]
In total the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists lists 18 direct biological causes of primary hypogonadism. This list does not speculate as to the reason or causes for any of these biological methods of action (e.g. it does not list steroid abuse as a cause, simply the biological result of steroid abuse).[4]
It should be noted that while some sources consider ageing to be a cause of primary hypogonadism, others (such as the AACE) feel it is more likely to be a secondary cause of hypogonadism. This is because the exact mechanism of reduced testosterone in older men is varied and is often not the result of a single cause, but of reduced testicular action combined with other hormonal issues. Because it is not solely a testicular issue, the AACE does not consider it a cause of primary hypogonadism.
The AACE do however concede that "more recent evidence
supports the view that an age-related decline in testicular
function may occur with associated symptoms and often
responds to testosterone replacement therapy"
As we can see, there are reversible causes on this list (such as infections, inflammation of the testicles & heal-able trauma). This is in direct opposition to what some people have claimed (including Dr Johnny Benjamin, a respected orthopaedic surgeon & MMA pundit: https://twitter.com/DrJCBenjamin/status/209971489888415744 ) and is a common misunderstanding of hypogonadism.
In an ideal world, treatment for hypogonadism would not be prescribed or used until the exact cause of hypogonadism had been diagnosed. In practice many doctors will treat the condition first in order to improve a patients quality of life before the cause of low testosterone is diagnosed.
[5]Of all causes of primary hypogonadism in men Klinefelter's syndrome is the most common, occurring in 1 in every 500-1000 live births in males (an incidence rate of approx 0.1-0.2% of all males).
Secondary Hypogonadism refers to any problems in producing testosterone or related substances where problems with the testicles are not a primary factor. Most often this involves issues with the Hypothalamus & hormones, or the Pituitary Gland. Secondary Hypogonadism is also known as Central Hypogonadism.
A non-exhaustive list of causes of Secondary Hypogonadism[1][2]:
Certain medications including steroids and opiates*
Genetic problems
Nutritional deficiencies
Hemochromatosis (excess iron)
Rapid, significant weight loss
Trauma (especially to the back of the head)*[6]
Lesions occupying space at or near the pituitary or hypothalamus
Pituitary disease
In relation to MMA we see several causes which will by definition put mixed martial artists at a higher risk of hypogonadism compared to the general population:
Rapid significant weight loss – extreme dieting and weight cutting is something that athletes competing in MMA must do regularly and often without medical supervision.
Medications such as opiates – MMA Athletes are often injured and in pain, the de-facto out of competition treatment for these injuries is usually a non-steroidal anti inflammatory coupled with an opiate-based painkiller. MMA Athletes will use opiate based painkillers more often than the general population due to the prevalence of injury in their lifestyle.
Trauma (especially to the back of the head) – Studies have shown that minor whiplash is enough to cause secondary hypogonadism, or at least reduced testosterone production. MMA Athletes will often be struck accidentally to the back of the head both during sparring and during competition. In addition the wrestling aspect of MMA means that the forces subjected to the back of the head upon a completed takedown could also be sufficient to cause damage to the pituitary gland, not to mention after a knockdown or knockout during competition or sparring.
Interestingly studies indicate that most (but not all) trauma related changes in testosterone recover in a 6-12 month period [7]
As we can see, many causes of Secondary Hypogonadism are reversible, and there is reason to believe that MMA Athletes may be specifically vulnerable to several of them.
I was unable to source an accurate breakdown of all causes of primary hypogonadism in men aged 20-40 or thereabouts. Overall (primary + Secondary) rates are estimated to be 2-5 million men in the US [8][9]
In men under the age of 40, according to the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Ageing, the prevalence in men under 40 was approx 5%, though the sample size was very small. Overall incidence rates varied from 5.6% to 49% depending on age.[10]
Testing for testosterone levels in MMA is conducted via urine testing. Levels of testosterone are not detectable in urine (this requires a blood test), however the ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone is.
The normal ratio in the average male is 1:1. The average for athletes is 2:1.[11] In approx 0.5% of the population the ratio will be 4:1 naturally[12]. As a result most athletic commissions and sporting leagues use 4:1 as their natural cut-off. Some, including Nevada, use 6:1.
When a person has hypogonadism both testosterone AND epitestosterone output is decreased, however TRT usually only returns testosterone itself to normal levels.
The cut-off AMOUNT of testosterone in the blood for consideration for TRT is generally between 200ng/dL and 319ng/dL according to the AACE guidelines[4]
Normal levels of testosterone for a male are 300ng/dL to 1000ng/dL[13] Average levels for healthy males are[12]:
Age : ng/dL
<25: 692
25-29: 669
30-34: 621
35-39: 597
40-44: 597
So how do some athletes hit ratios such as 17:1 after receiving TRT?
There are two causes of this. The first is simply that while TRT boosts testosterone, it does not boost epitestosterone. Thus if an athletes testosterone production is 20% of normal, so is their epitestosterone.
This means the person could only be producing 120 ng/dL of epitestosterone assuming a 1:1 ratio. If they had the 2:1 ratio most common in athletes, they would only produce 60ng/dL of epitestosterone. This means if they have their testosterone boosted back up to a "normal" level of 1000ng/dL, they would suddenly have a ratio of 1000:60, or approx 17:1.
The other factor is that most Testosterone Replacement Therapy is based around intramuscular injections of testosterone. An issue with these is that for a few days after receiving the injection, testosterone levels will be ABOVE normal levels, but for the majority of the 2-3 weeks between injections will be within normal limits (but slowly falling). This means the day after an injection an athletes testosterone levels could be 1500ng/dL, but 2/3 days later be back within normal limits and stay there for the next 2-3 weeks.
Conversely an athlete could have a ratio of 1:1 and be just below the low testosterone cut-off. Thus they could be producing 320ng/dL of epitestosterone and a high ratio could indicate extreme levels of testosterone. Urine testing is unable to make that distinction.
For this reason urine testing of T:E ratios is an unreliable method of determining whether or not an athlete is abusing testosterone. It is reasonably accurate for determining whether or not an athlete has injected testosterone into their body, but not how much. (in other words it can tell you if someone is on TRT, but not if they are abusing the TRT). For this blood testing would be required at regular intervals in order to measure the levels immediately post-injection, and then the levels several days later once they have normalised.

33. War
If we keep trying, one of these days we might just get
a war that's every bit as satisfying as its atrocities.
Putting a sword in the hands of a rambunctious kid may
have the merit of helping us understand saber-rattling
among nations but would inspire the envy and ire of any
military junta that's failed to coerce more than a handful
of juveniles into its army in the past week.

A North Texas man returned to his childhood village in South Sudan to have a water well installed. It's the first time the village has ever had drinking water.
Bol Deng Malual of Dallas is known as a Lost Boys of Sudan. He's one of thousands of boys who fled the country more than 20 years ago during a bloody civil war.
In 2010, Malual returned to his village with the help of a North Texas church. First Unitarian Church of Dallas held fund raisers to send him back and reunite with family, who, despite the odds, survived the war.
Malual learned that his village was still without a water well. A month later, he returned to North Texas making it his mission to have one installed.
"To think back when I left my family, my hands were totally empty," says Malual.
Deanna Charles befriended Malual and introduced him to her extended family at the First Unitarian Church of Dallas.
"I got to know about himself and his journey and his struggle and his family and their needs and I thought it is not so difficult for us to be able to help you."
Once again, the congregants of the First Unitarian Church of Dallas stepped in and raised $23,000 to send Malual home and have the well installed.
Malual says the well has made a huge difference in the lives of the women and children in his village who would walk miles to and from the nearest lake carrying gallons of water.
An aid organization brought more than a 100 Lost Boys to the North Texas about 10 years ago and many continue to live and work in the DFW area, most struggling themselves to complete their college educations.

City sued over Monroe Park development

First they get the approval to build and then they sue. This is what's wrong with the judicial system. Job security I guess.
on Jan 22, 2014 at 10:52 am
Perhaps it's more about the company I keep, but I only hear the term "capricious" from legal counsel or Seinfeld reruns. Precisely what is "unfair" about a city placing strict requirements on developers (a label that has become an obscenity in Palo Alto discussions) to address community concerns, and how are concerns such as affordability "unrelated to the project". Oh, I see. The actual people of the city are not related to the concerns of the developer. All right, good thing we cleared that up.
on Jan 22, 2014 at 10:53 am
Oh goody! More people. More traffic! Can't wait!
on Jan 22, 2014 at 11:10 am
Why is the developer suing now? Didn't the developer enter into an agreement with the City on BMR in exchange for permission to build this complex?
If so, is it fair to really "change your mind" and say that quid pro quo isn't acceptable to the developer?
on Jan 22, 2014 at 11:29 am
This is worth watching
on Jan 22, 2014 at 12:55 pm
I'd rather have the bowling alley than 2 dozen more condos. More legal fees, blah, blah, blah. If only the City Council had said 'no' in the first place....
- Perhaps they will get the message and say 'no' the next time they get a proposal from a developer who just wants to get rich with no regard for the community...
on Jan 22, 2014 at 1:43 pm
No more "affordable housing" in Palo Alto. [Portion removed.]
When these were sold at 40% below market rate the additional cost was added to the remaining houses in the usual Palo Alto wealth redistribution scheme. And now, forever, we have to pay 40% of the monthly dues for these 4 houses or another $10,000/year subsidy.
Thanks for nothing ,City Council and other socialists promoting these schemes.
on Jan 22, 2014 at 4:39 pm
The sheer greed of our local developers rears its ugly head again. While it might be argued that the burden of providing affordable housing (and parking) should be on the shoulders of those building more office space to lure more workers to Palo Alto, this does smack a bit of 'biting the hand that fed you'.

Let nothing stand in the way of unbounded greed! They agreed in 2009 in order to get their permits, but now it's too much to ask. I hope the judge reams them out.....again.
on Jan 22, 2014 at 10:54 pm
Did this builder get density or other concessions as a result of the affordable housing?
on Jan 23, 2014 at 8:21 am
Isnt this the developer who just set a precedent by beating our city attorney in the ca supreme court over whether this was a fee or an exaction?
on Jan 23, 2014 at 9:24 am
Developers should not have this option!!!

yuppies outta town! get outta the country!

SteveU is a registered user.
The city made a demand for LIH that has been found to be illegal.
Why not sue?
It will be expensive to rip those out and rebuild with LUXURY units.
Best laws that money can buy.
on Jan 23, 2014 at 5:43 pm
Agree to terms to get a project approved and then whine (and sue) about being forced to agree under duress, all over 4 BMR units. Not once, but twice. Have these people no shame or sympathy for those who need affordable housing--which is most of us. I used to view Classic Communities favorably. No longer.

The result was that by the time of the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the U.S. military was distinctly overstretched. To maintain manpower levels, the Army was forced to increase its maximum enlistment age from 35 to 42. The Commander in Chief insisted that the U.S. would not withdraw from Iraq until its mission--the establishment of a stable democracy--was completed. But it seemed increasingly likely that when Americans finally went home, there would be no Iraq left to withdraw from--just three warring mini-states. As they bade farewell to the Green Zone, some Americans remembered the evacuation of Saigon in 1975, a generation earlier, which had sounded the death knell for South Vietnam.
Iraq's disintegration was the harbinger of a wider regional meltdown. The irony was that terrorism thrived more readily in the new Middle Eastern democracies than in the bad old dictatorships. It was no coincidence that, outside Iraq, the terrorist organizations causing the most trouble in the region were operating out of southern Lebanon and the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories of Gaza and the West Bank. In all those places, elections had been held. Yet those who won them--Hizballah in Lebanon and Hamas in the occupied territories--were historically terrorist organizations.
Worse, by breaking up Iraq, the U.S. had unwittingly handed a belated victory in the earlier Iran-Iraq war to the fundamentalist regime in Tehran. No state stood to gain more from democracy in Iraq, since the country's Shi'ite majority felt close ties of kinship to Iran. And no state in the region was more explicitly committed to the destruction of America's ally Israel.
The decision of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to press ahead with Iran's secret nuclear-weapons program confronted the U.S. with an agonizing strategic dilemma. Iran made no secret of the fact that it was supplying Hizballah with the missiles that rained down on Israel in the summer of 2006. Iran was also hell-bent on acquiring weapons of mass destruction. Yet the essentially unilateral action that had been used against Iraq in 2003 was no longer possible against Iran. A U.S. Administration that had once confidently bypassed the U.N. found it had no option but to turn to the U.N. Security Council in the hope that international pressure could disarm Hizballah and keep Iran from going nuclear. The colossus that once bestrode the globe seemed to be stuck in the Middle Eastern sands--and unable to prevent the seemingly inevitable confrontation between Iran and Israel.
In the Bush Administration's final years, its reputation touched bottom. Many Americans complained that they had the wrong President. For a time, Bush's approval ratings sank below Richard Nixon's and Jimmy Carter's worst.
Yet history has been a kinder judge of Bush's presidency. Although many analysts had predicted that terrorists would strike again on U.S. soil within five years, there was no sequel to 9/11 on Bush's watch. It was just his bad luck that success in counterterrorism grabbed few headlines, since plots stifled at conception are nonevents in news terms. Moreover, the key point of his national-security strategy turned out to be correct. It was just that pre-emption had been used against Iraq when it should have been saved for Iran.

A Shoals woman, who police said left her sister-in-law on the floor for weeks before she died, will be in a Lauderdale County courtroom Friday morning.
According to investigators, 57-year-old Pamela Springer laid on the floor for three to four weeks before her sister-in-law finally called for help.
Author ties arrested Maria Springer and charged her with elder abuse and neglect.
Investigators said she told them she tried to put her sister-in-law on the couch, but that she fell. Because she laid on the floor for so long, the Lauderdale County District Attorney said there were sores all over her body.
The court hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday.

The wave of the future. The no-huddle, up-tempo, offense. Possibly returning 11 starters, the Panthers Offense, under the direction of new OC Mike Shula, is looking to employ more no-huddle sequences into the offense.
Last season the Panthers were disinclined towards making use of the no-huddle offense. In only nine games, roughly half of the season, did Carolina utilize the no-huddle, and at times just for a single play. Most of the usage came in predictable, fairly unsurprising instances; in the execution of a two-minute drill, when faced with multiscore deficits, or after an explosive play. In totality, the Panthers ran 32 plays from the no-huddle last season (discounting a spike, Week 7 versus Dallas, and including a Byron Bell false start penalty against Atlanta, Week 14) for a total of 178 yards (5.6 yards per play).
Breaking it down further:
|Number of plays
|Number of yards
|Yards per play
|2 minute drill
|After gains of 15+
|In the red zone
About half of the no-huddle plays came in two minute drills, the final two minutes of either the second or fourth quarters, 15 plays for 55 yards (3.7 yards per play), although if you remove the two plays from Derek Anderson's series versus the Giants, in the waning moments of the Week 3 thumping, that number drops to 13 plays for 29 yards (2.2 yards per play).
The other noticeable intimation of the no-huddle was a big gain play, which I've categorized at gains of over 15 yards. A sage use of the no-huddle, the Offense would look to strike while the proverbial iron was hot, not allowing a defense to substitute personnel after surrendering a big play.
Even with the truncated field, the Panthers were conspicuously anemic with the no-huddle inside the red zone.
Almost aligning with Cam Newton's 2012 yards per attempt (8.0 YPA), the no-huddle passing game was fairly effective: Newton had a 75% completion percentage from the no-huddle. Perhaps the most surprising number in this dataset was the run-pass ratio, which was right around 50-50, especially in consideration of the two-minute drill numbers. There was a concerted effort to involve the read option into the no-huddle, which had mixed results. If you remove the outlier, a Jonathan Stewart 20 yard gait versus Dallas, the total drops to 13 carries for 31 yards (2.4 YPC).
Perhaps an indictment against the injuries and inexperience of the Panthers O-Line, there were very few spontaneous utilizations of the no-huddle. One such occurrence was Week 7 versus Dallas. From 13:36 to 12:22 of the 4th Quarter the Panthers entered the no-huddle, running four plays which took them from the Carolina 34, to the Cowboys 19. After a 9-yard reception by Steve Smith the Panthers went into the no-huddle, shifting their 11 personnel shotgun formation to a buckeye pistol formation, with WR Brandon Lafell assuming the role of the pitchman. Stuck in a nickel set, and with two safeties deep, Dallas isn't prepared to face the triple option.
The Cowboys only have two defensive linemen in a three-point stance, and two OLB's. With DeMarcus Ware the read player on the backside, the Carolina blockers have a numerical advantage over the Dallas front six.
DeMarcus Ware stays home; Newton gives Stewart the handoff. The RB sees the hole between Jordan Gross engaging a Cowboy LB, and Amini Silatolu on the DL, and hits it.
Stewart picks up 20 yards, taking the Panthers to the Cowboys 46.
The Offense rolls with the same play from first and ten.
Dallas is still in the same fundamental defense as they were to start the series.
Ware stays home again, prompting Newton to give Stewart the ball. Only inches away from Stewart, C Geoff Hangartner is being manhandled by the Dallas NT. RT Gary Williams is struggling with OLB Anthony Spencer.
The Dallas NT tosses Hangartner aside and grapples Stewart, slowing the RB down enough for Spencer and Ware to finish him off after a gain of one yard.
Not breaking stride, the Offense aligns in a 2x1 shotgun formation.
Off of play-action, Louis Murphy will run a skinny post route, and Greg Olsen a drag route. The dropping strong safety will play man coverage on Olsen, while CB Morris Claiborne will drop in zone coverage.
The safety abandons the middle of the field in chase of Olsen, while Claiborne stays outside, which leaves Murphy uncovered across the middle of the field.
Newton finds Murphy who picks up 26 yards before being tackled at the Dallas 19. Through the use of the no-huddle, the Panthers have reached the Cowboys red zone.
Maintaining the momentum, the Offense again turns to a quick pass off of play-action.
The target of this throw is Steve Smith on a slant against Brandon Carr.
Newton locks in on Smith; ILB Dan Connor reads the QB's eyes and jumps Smith's route.
Cam never sees Connor. Luckily the ball falls through his hands and hits the turf.
The last no-huddle play of that drive, Carolina would cap the series with a go-ahead touchdown run from Mike Tolbert. With the help of the no-huddle, the Panthers traveled 47 yards in four plays, in the span of 1:14, putting them into position to take the lead in the fourth quarter.
As Chris Brown of Smart Football notes:
Modern defenses want to match offenses in terms of strength and speed via personnel substitutions. They also want to confuse offenses with movement and disguise. The up-tempo no-huddle stymies those defensive options. The defense doesn't have time to substitute, and it's also forced to show its hand: It can't disguise or shift because the quarterback can snap the ball and take advantage of some obvious, structural weakness.
This was especially apparent as the Offense looked to exploit the middle of the field versus the Dallas zone, also attempting to pound the Cowboys weakened front six with the triple option.
It coincides with Shula and Co.'s simplification of the verbiage of the playbook, that the Offense may be looking to use more no-huddle. Speed kills, or so the mantra goes; the Panthers Offense will only become more dangerous with increased usage of the no-huddle offense.
With the schematic diversity of the offense, provided by players like Mike Tolbert, Greg Olsen, Richie Brockel, and Kealoha Pilares, or Brandon Lafell as we saw above, the Offense will find itself in a position to take advantage of many defensive mismatches. Without personnel substitutions, Carolina can morph from a 22 personnel set to a 31 personnel look, from the triple option to a four verticals concept. It all starts in minicamps and OTA's, but if the Offense can implement more no-huddle into their game, they'll become a more lethal unit.

A Gwinnett County high school teacher is in jail, accused of having inappropriate sexual contact with a student.
Thomas Grimshaw, a math teacher at Mountain View High School, resigned on Monday and was arrested a short time later.
On Friday, Grimshaw was denied bond.
The incident allegedly happened at the school late last month.
According to a police report, investigators recovered text messages, pictures and a DVD containing video clips with incriminating evidence.
Parents and students were disturbed by the news.
"He never seemed like the kind of person who would do something like that," said Bria Virgil, a senior.
Virgil said Grimshaw was her trigonometry teacher. She never imagined the man she called "a nice guy" would be accused of something so revolting.
"It's really disturbing as well because that's one of my classmates. It's just shocking, crazy," Virgil said.
Aicha Bascaro, whose daughter is in the 11th grade, said if the charges against Grimshaw are true, he crossed the line.
"That's disgusting. That's terrible," Bascaro said. "We trust our schools to take care of our kids. We trust teachers to do the best thing for them and this is what happens?"
Tracy Moody, whose son is also in the 11th grade, said teachers should know better.
"He knows the rules and I'm sure there are rules in place for teacher-student contact. He broke the rules," Moody said.
Gwinnett County Schools would not comment on camera.
The district, instead, issued a statement, saying that it notified children's services and filed a report with the Professional Standards Commission.

Harold Ford: Obama has to Win Indiana [Updated]
by TexasDarlin, Sat May 03, 2008 at 12:20:42 PM EDT
On April 22nd, as Hillary Clinton's win was declared in Pennsylvania, an L.A. Times blog reported on a statement by Harold Ford Jr. to MSNBC:
Harold Ford Jr. -- not so long ago the rising black politician within Democratic ranks -- now heads an arm of the party that seeks to keep its focus on "middle" America and crafting centrist messages: the Democratic Leadership Council. Often vilified by liberal activists, the DLC sees itself as quintessentially practical.
From that perspective, and in the wake of Hillary Clinton's win in the Pennsylvania primary, Ford just set a political bar for the black politician that surpassed him in prominence.
"You have to win Indiana," Ford told Barack Obama (via an interview on MSNBC). And, Ford added, Obama has to "steamroll" Clinton in the other state with a primary two Tuesdays from now, North Carolina.
The Obama camp will not publicly embrace that equation. But for him to truly regain the momentum he captured during his February surge, most party pros will see Ford's formulation as spot-on.
Interestingly, the Obama campaignreleased a spreadsheet back in February (mistakenly, they said) predicting results for all primaries and caucuses. Many Obama supporters on this and other blogs have since boasted about its accuracy.
Take a look at the spreadsheet...
Today the Clinton campaign sent out a memo to Interested Parties. It reads in part:
MEMO: Why Did the Obama Campaign Predict Victory in Indiana? Does That Prediction Still Stand?
Three months ago the Obama campaign produced a spreadsheet that, with one exception, has accurately predicted the winners in each of the upcoming primaries and caucuses.
Tellingly, that spreadsheet predicted an Obama victory in Indiana by 7 points, as well as an Obama victory in North Carolina.
Does the Obama campaign still stand by that prediction? If not, why not, and what has happened?
It is easy to see why the Obama campaign predicted victory in Indiana. Senator Obama has won each of the primaries in the states that border Illinois Iowa, Wisconsin, and Missouri, and 25% of Hoosiers get their television from Illinois stations a huge advantage for Senator Obama. Indiana s primary is open, and Senator Obama has tended to do better in those contests.
The Obama campaign has also dramatically outspent Senator Clinton in Indiana by more than $2.4 million -- $5.6m - $3.2m and has even gone up on broadcast television in the very expensive Chicago media market.
Despite Senator Obama's advantages and his prediction of victory, we have worked hard in Indiana to do as well as we can and anticipate a close finish.
In North Carolina, Tuesdays other contest, Senator Obama enjoyed a lead of over 20 points in public polls throughout this year and outspent us there on TV by $1.3m -- $4.9 - $3.5. Senator Clinton has been working hard to narrow that 20 point gap.
The Clinton campaign certainly raises some fair questions, especially in light of Obama's shrinking support among the working class, as reported today by the A.P.:
Barack Obama's problem winning votes from working-class whites is showing no sign of going away, and their impression of him is getting worse.
The April poll -- conducted before the Pennsylvania contest -- also showed an overwhelming preference for Clinton over Obama among working-class whites. They favored her over him by 39 percentage points, compared to a 10-point Obama lead among white college graduates. Obama also did worse than Clinton among those less-educated voters when matched up against Republican candidate John McCain.
"It's the stuff about his preacher ... and the thing he said about Pennsylvania towns, how they turn to religion," Keith Wolfe, 41, a supermarket food stocker from Parkville, Md., said..."I don't think he'd be a really good leader."
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton has consolidated her coalition of women, labor households, seniors, Catholics, Jews, blue collar voters, Hispanics, and others -- a winning coalition which has continued to grow stronger since February. In terms of momentum, Hillary is looking like a champion.
Obama's momentum has been fading since February, and he's been falling short of his own expectations. Obama's spreadsheet predicted a 5-point loss in Pennsylvania (Clinton won by nearly 10 points) and an 11-point win in Guam (currently he's winning by 6 points.)
Does Obama have revised projections for Indiana and North Carolina?
UPDATED: Obama won Guam by 7 VOTES, a statistical tie, and a re-count has been announced.Cross posted at texasdarlin.wordpress.com The author is unaffiliated with the Hillary Clinton campaign.

From the FanPosts. Sortable Chiefs roster here. -Joel
Before the Chiefs' announced their initial 53-man roster, Ryan over at KC Chiefs Blog had a great post about what Andy Reid's initial 53 man roster has looked like the last six years with the Eagles.
Here is an analysis of his initial 53 man roster with the Chiefs.
The roster is heavy on the pass-catchers. Reid has averaged 7.8 WR/TEs on his initial 53-man roster over the past six years. This year he has nine (!!!): six wide receivers and three tight ends. He hasn't carried three TEs into the season since 2008. We know Reid likes to throw the ball, and with Tony Moeaki being released that leaves Dwayne Bowe as the only reliable pass catcher left. I can only assume Reid is hoping his quantity of pass catchers turns into some quality during the season.
Conversely, the Chiefs are light on the offensive linemen. It seems like, though it probably isn't the case, that the Chiefs plethora of pass catchers contributed to a dearth of offensive linemen. The past six years Reid has had nine O-linemen, and in four of the last six years he kept 10. This year he only has eight: Branden Albert, Eric Fischer, Jon Asamoah, Jeff Allen, and Rodney Hudson (presumed starters), and Geoff Schwartz, Donald Stephenson, and Eric Kush (presumed backups). The Chiefs are pretty thin here and injuries will obviously be a big concern during the season. It will be interesting to see if Reid trades a wide receiver for an offensive lineman at some point. (For example, if Dexter McCluster and Donnie Avery both turn into reliable targets for Smith he may feel comfortable cutting someone like Junior Hemmingway or AJ Jenkins.)
There aren't any surprises in the backfield. Reid has kept three running backs and quarterbacks the past six years, and only one fullback. Those same numbers hold true with this team, with three running backs (Jamaal Charles, Knile Davis, and Cyrus Gray) and a fullback (Anthony Sherman). The quarterbacks aren't a surprise, but I think the circumstances of this team are different than with his past teams.
Alex Smith is clearly a caretaker. He's not a superstar, and he'll never be spectacular. But he's consistent, he's accurate, and he won't lose you games like Matt Cassel or Brady Quinn will. While Chase Daniel didn't look good in the Green Bay game, he's the clear backup at this point. Tyler Bray did look good during the Green Bay game, and I believe Reid signed him with what he could be in three years down the road in mind.
The number of DL and LB are flipped. In Philly, Reid carried about 10 D-linemen and 6 LB into the season. This season he's taking 10 LB and 6 DL. This isn't really surprising, Reid ran a 4-3 with the Eagles and is going to continue the Chiefs' 3-4 scheme. It would have been surprising had Reid kept more than seven DL. (Disclaimer: rookie Josh Martin is listed as a hybrid DE/LB and wasn't counted in the specific position counts.)
The secondary is stacked. There are 10 cornerbacks and safeties on the roster, and they're all quality players. The secondary should be a strength on this team. This isn't surprising, Reid has had 9.5 DBs on the roster in the last 6 years.
The numbers on offense and defense are nearly identical. Reid has 24 offensive players, 26 defensive players, and three special teamers (Dustin Colquitt, P; Ryan Succop, K; Thomas Gafford, LS). I said earlier it would be interesting to see if Reid traded a pass catcher for an offensive lineman at some point this season, but he could just as easily trade a defensive player without sacrificing hardly any depth.
Some of these guys have to play special teams, too. Sometimes in looking at roster cuts we get too wrapped up in what position they are listed as playing, and forget that we need guys to return/defend kicks and punts. Dave Toub has made the Chiefs' special teams very, very good, and a lot of the guys on the roster were probably kept for their special teams abilities.
Overall, it's a balanced roster with no huge surprise cuts. I'm still worried about the Chiefs' offense. The problem is the general lack of playmakers at the skill positions. After Dwayne Bowe and Jamaal Charles the Chiefs don't have any other reliable options. They're going to have to lean on a deep, talented defense and a great special teams unit to put the offense in good field position to score. As long as the offensive line is healthy and gels then Bowe, Charles and Smith should make this a league-average offense. The defense has top-10 potential, and the special teams should be one of the best in the league. The only major question with Reid's initial 53 man roster is the offensive line. They should gel nicely with a few games together, but with only eight men there isn't a lot of depth to cover if there is a significant injury. It will be interesting to see if Reid makes any moves to beef up the offensive line midseason, and where he cuts from to do so.

"Life" after Griffiths EM
I need a textbook on electrodynamics. I have already finished Griffiths electrodynamics, a wonderful book but it does not cover the things I need now from an EM book (i.e. research on photonics).
Therefore, I need a book which covers the mathematical methods on EM problems (eg. expansion on Bessel functions, Green functions, etc) and also be strong on the conseptual concepts of EM.
I am an undergraduate planning to apply next fall to grad school.
Re: "Life" after Griffiths EM
Jackson's Classical Electrodynamics is precisely what you ask for! You may also want to take a look at Classical Electromagnetic Theory by Vanderlinde (at a slightly lower level).
Re: "Life" after Griffiths EM
A non-Jackson book I like is Schwinger's Classical Electrodynamics book.
Re: "Life" after Griffiths EM
Re: "Life" after Griffiths EM
The book Electromagnetic Processes by Robert J. Gould looked really interesting.
Re: "Life" after Griffiths EM
Thank you for your responses.
Just got Jackson's electrodynamics.

Jan Brewer on Principles & Values
That is the clear answer when I reflect upon what I have learned these past four years, and what has changed across the three decades since I first sat in this chamber. Today, Arizona must COMPETE for the most desirable jobs for our citizens--the finest teachers in our schools--the most talented students and faculty in our universities.
And each of our citizens must likewise compete to earn a living, build a future and raise a family in a safe and healthy environment. They face threats that once did not exist. And we at this capitol had better make sure we are helping them--not hurting them--in their efforts.
Brewer's first year in office had been defined in part by clunky speechmaking and infighting with her own Republican colleagues. In April 2010, her approval ratings were stuck in the low 40s--even lower than Obama's--and pundits had given her little chance of being elected in November.
Then S.B.1070 landed on her desk, and within weeks of signing it Brewer had a 60% approval rating, a regular role on Fox News, and a group of conservatives pushing her to think about running for president in 2012.

This week I take a look at yet another Android-powered tablet, in the form of the TwinMOS TwinTAB T102D1. There is certainly no shortage of Android tablets in the market, and the TwinTAB joins the ranks of being yet another entry-level tablet for those who aren't quite ready to splurge on high-end devices.
The TwinTAB looks modest enough, featuring a nice textured back that makes it easier to hold and avoid fingerprints. Around the top you have the power buttons and volume rocker, as well as a surprisingly large cover that hides the microSD slot. Around the left of the device you'll find a number of ports, including audio, power, microUSB, and mini-HDMI. It's a shame that the TwinTAB uses a special DC adapter for charging rather than the microUSB port, so even if you plug a microUSB charging cable in, the device won't recharge. TwinMOS have been nice enough to include a faux leather case with the device, which also lets you prop it up on a flat surface for better viewing or typing.
Performance is a mixed bag as expected from a tablet of this nature. Most Android apps can run on the TwinTAB, but anything with a lot of animation or effects on it (such as games) will suffer from occasional stutter. Games like Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja ran fine, but Monsters Ate My Condo (a truly addictive title by the way) saw plenty of slowdown to the point it was nearly impossible to clear a level.
On the plus side, the TwinTAB runs a fairly vanilla version of Android, with just a handful of apps preinstalled. There's the ever-annoying Talking Tom app, an ebook reader, Skype, Winamp, and a copy of eScan Tablet Security.
The screen on the TwinTAB is an IPS LED display, and sports a 1,280 x 768 resolution. That's acceptable for more entry-level Android tablets, so you pretty much get what you're paying for here. Both videos and images looked clear on the display, and there was a negligible amount of color fading when the screen was viewed from different angles.
Camera quality on the TwinTAB isn't that great, but then again I'm not an advocate for taking photos with your tablet. The front 0.3MP camera is quite terrible for Skype calls, adding a lot of noise to the image and generally taking a while to get into focus properly. The rear 3MP camera is equally average, adding a lot of noise to almost any image that isn't taken in bright light.
With the 6000mAH battery you can get a couple of hours worth of watching media or playing games on the TwinTAB, so on that front the TwinTAB does deserve a bit of recognition. Again, it's still a shame that it doesn't use a microUSB to charge itself.
There's nothing really special about the TwinTAB that you haven't seen in almost any other Android tablet currently on the market. The TwinTAB is packaged as a "Tablet PC", but apart from very light web surfing or the occasional email, I don't think you'll be able to crank out much work from the TwinTAB. Still, it's a tablet that doesn't oversell itself, and to that regard delivers a fairly standard level of performance for the price you're paying.

Black Sabbath - Iron Man (via musicmastahh)
I am Iron Man!
Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all
Or if he moves will he fall?
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head
We'll just pass him there
Why should we even care?
He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
When he travelled time
For the future of mankind
Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfold
Now the time is here
For Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved
Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge
Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron Man lives again!
There is no way that Todd Haley feels that his job is on the line continuing to play Palko the entire Game. "Iron Man" Haley is locked in for 2012 :)
Hot Damn!

text: Help astronomers build a movie of the 2017 eclipse Culture 08 September 11 by Danielle Venton Tweet NSO/AURA/NSF Early planning is underway for a massive crowdsourced movie of the 2017 solar eclipse. And astronomers want your help.The project, currently titled "The Eclipse Megamovie," will compile stills submitted by amateur astronomers, allowing solar researchers an unprecedented look at the wavings and warpings of the corona, as the eclipse traverses the width of the United States for an hour and a half."In a normal eclipse you get only a few minutes to observe the corona," said Hugh Hudson, senior research scientist at the Space Sciences Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley, one of the project leaders. "We'll get a much better view. And if we get lucky, we'll see a solar mass ejection or a solar flare."Parts of 14 states from Oregon to South Carolina will see a full eclipse. If skies are clear on August 21, 2017, Hudson estimates they could receive as many as a million still images.At standard frame rate, the movie would take 12 hours to view. Twelve hours of eclipse might be dull viewing for most people, but, for astronomers, it will be a useful source of data.Eclipses offer a good view of the sun's corona, its upper atmosphere, which is hard to see with space-based images. Hudson hopes that studying the motions of the corona in the "Eclipse Megamovie," will guide astronomers to better understand solar eruptions, events which disrupt Earth-bound technologies at times. The movie should also show the deflection of starlight due to gravity, once again confirming Einstein's theory of general relativity.While the compilation sounds simple in theory, automatically layering photographs taken with different parameters will be a bit of a feat."There is a lot of thinking we have to do," Hudson said. "Luckily it is six years away."Hudson and his colleagues plan to give their ideas a test run next year during a solar eclipse in Australia on November 13.Those interested in participating during the 2017 eclipse canemail Hudson to sign up early.

While Madrid's traditional Spanish fare has been long touted, a new wave of ethnic cuisine is sprouting up in the Spanish capital, as Spain's restaurateurs head in bold new directions.
According to the New York Times, many Spanish restaurants are beginning to incorporate diverse techniques and ingredients in their food, which is putting Madrid on the map as a premier cuisine destination.
"Right now no other European city except London offers the same range and diversity of international cuisine," Victor de la Serna, an editor and food writer for the newspaper El Mundo, told the news source. "Plus here you have 'New World' restaurants serving gourmet Peruvian or down-home New Orleans that would be inconceivable in Paris."
The new influence is seen at restaurants like Diverxo, which offers new takes on traditional Spanish food by mixing it with an Asian twist. Reservations are taken precisely one month in advance, begin at 9 AM sharp, and are usually gone by 9:10. The seven-, eight- and nine-course meals usually take about three hours, but the investment is worth it - the eatery recently received a prestigious Michelin star.
Foodies should definitely consider making Madrid a stop the next time they plan on engaging in European travel.

I'm going to break my grades down before giving my opinion of the full team grade:
Quarterback = C
Running Backs = B+
Wide Receivers = C
Tight Ends = B
Offensive Line = B-
Defensive Line = B+
Linebackers = A
Cornerbacks = B
Safeties = B
Punter = A
Kicker = B-
Returner = C
Coverage = B+
Offensive Coaching = B-
Defensive Coaching = A
Clock Management = B+
I think our offense is not quite suited for what Kyle Shanahan wants to do. We need a QB with a bigger arm and a consistent receiver who can get yards after the catch. Our running backs have looked pretty average until Torain's explosion this past week. Our offensive line has surprising help up pretty well, although Grossman needs to be given some credit for getting the ball out quickly. Our defense has looked stellar and I think will improve as long as they stay healthy. I would rather have our defense than any other defense in our division as a whole. Unfortunately, I would take any other offense in our division over ours (yes even the Cowboys). The key to being successful the rest of the season will be health, running back productivity, and our wide receivers getting open. Hopefully our defense can continue to dominate, which will keep us in many games.

Sheryl Swoopes has signed with the NWBL's Lubbock Hawks, effective Monday, Feb. 14th, 2005. Currently a player for the WNBA's Houston Comets, Swoopes will be joining the Hawks on Thursday, Feb. 24, 2005, for the game in Dallas against the Dallas Fury.
Swoopes, a West Texas native, graduated from Brownfield High School and was named the 1991 Junior College Player of the Year while at South Plains Junior College. Two years later, Swoopes led Texas Tech to a Division I NCAA Championship. She is a 2-time MVP for the WNBA (2000, 2002) and 3-time Defensive Player of the Year (2000, 20002, 2003). Swoopes also received gold medals for the 1994 Goodwill Games, 1996, 2000 and 2004 Olympic Games, and the 2002 World Championships.
|2005 Lubbock Hawks Schedule
"We are very excited to be having Sheryl Swoopes come back to Lubbock, Tex. She will add value to an already amazing team," said Ricky Romero, general manager of the Lubbock Hawks.
"Anytime you get a player of that caliber, you are always excited and happy to have someone like that on your team. She'll add a great deal to the team and overall athleticism," said Brent Palmer, head coach of the Lubbock Hawks.
Swoopes will keep jersey number 22, as Kesha Watson has recently decided to pursue other opportunities overseas.
The Lubbock Hawks will play Friday, February 18, 2005 at 7 p.m. against the Birmingham Power at Trinity Christian, 6701 University Avenue.

News Channel 11 has learned a man and woman have been charged with animal cruelty for allegedly leaving two dogs locked in a car on Thursday.
Police say they received a call about the two dogs at the parking lot of Tacoma Medical Associates in Greeneville, TN.
A female Shar-Pei Cross and a male Pitbull mix were inside the car. The female dog's temperature was 109 F and the male dog's temperature was 105 F.
Both dogs were taken to Greene County for medical treatment. The female dog had to be euthanized Friday after she could not recover.
The male dog stayed with the vet through the weekend. We are told that he will be picked up by the Humane Society today.
The owners, Roger Lews Miscovitch and Susan Rebecca Miscovitch of Parrotsville, are charged with animal cruelty.
They were served a summons and will appear in general sessions court on Sept. 4th.

Your refrigerator can tell you if the door is ajar, your blu-ray player connects to Netflix, your car can be started remotely – but how can all these various devices and systems work together? With diverse platforms and network configurations, as well as manufacturers' unique characteristics built into computing gear, audio and video equipment and appliances, the task of getting them to work together usually requires more than getting the settings correct under a PC's preferences menu. Intel researchers and industry partners are exploring ways to make connecting all your devices as easy as turning on the radio.

Rather than merely oppose a proposed sewer rate increase, residents in Big Pine have drafted an alternative plan that they say will be easier on the pocketbook during these tough economic times.
The group of long-time residents and community advocates said the rate increase proposed by the Big Pine Community Services District is both ŌĆ£excessiveŌĆØ and ŌĆ£oppressive.ŌĆØ Tom Phifer used those two words over and over again when talking about the proposed increase during an interview at the home of fellow opponent Bob Steele.

Local leaders were at odds Tuesday when the issue of renewing the contract for the Inyo County film commissioner was brought to light.
The board was scheduled to approve a $40,000, one-year contract to retain Film Commissioner Chris Langley as a sole source provider for his services ŌĆō but the issues of the perception of fairness versus preservation of valuable expertise collided at the dais.
When the county approves a sole source provider, it does not submit a Request for Proposals for the position in question, and does no outside recruitment.

Playing on their opponentsŌĆÖ turf, the Bishop Broncos scorched the Desert Scorpions Thursday night, 61-20, to officially claim the High Desert League Championship for the second straight year. Bishop is seeded number one in the Northeast Division with a 5-0 league record, 9-1 overall.
Desert brought all the weapons in their arsenal to the game, but most of them backfired. The Scorpions, tied with Kern, Frazier and Cal City at 2-2 going into the final league game, had to play spoiler to the Broncos to have a shot at making the playoffs.
