 What a sad country. Richest in the world and what type of "racebikes" do we have? HD.....Yeah I'd LOL but then I laugh so hard I shit my panties. HD needs to get out of racing or produce something that competes. Oh,, and not like how HD competed back in the mid 80's with tariff taxes against bikes from Japan. What do you race sir.....OH I RACE A HOG...... WTF!!!!! HD owners, morons with money. They should rename there bikes (Oh i'm sorry) CHOPPERS to : M&M
They never said what bones the dude broke,: Unknown and undisclosed injuries. Sounds like a canidate for the John Kerry purple heart fund.
that's why you don't race those shitty bikes: you race on real sport bikes that can handle a turn. retards. and it's not on dirt. motorcycles don't race on dirt, dirtbikes do.
did you realize: that the tire of the first bike was broken and then it just stuck at the exact same normal place! its a miracle:P
please dont: s: CC: sorry: if you are or have read this comment then you are cursed for life. You will have a terrible life and never get married (if you are already married you will get divorced). Only way to undo this curse is if you comment 5 videos with this exact message. ***BEWARE***
Lucky: there was a therd guy that whent b/t the front wheel and the chasie of that that second guys bike.
harley?: Why would you race with a harley? They're nice bikes, don't get me wrong, but they dont have the proper handling. The first guy would have never wiped out if they were on proper sport bikes.
http://-Wee-Rogey-.bebo.com: CHECK OUT THIS PAGE BEST VIDEO EVER IS ONIT!
Lear about AMA Dirt Track Racing: Learn more about this uniquely American form of motorcycle racing at: http://www.amaflattrack.co
Its Jake Johnson: Jake is now a factory Suzuki rider and won the singles (450cc) championship this year. This video is from the 883 Sportster championship that was used as a primer class for guys to make a name for themselves before the jump to the Grand National Championship 750cc twin class. These bikes are basically an 883 sportster with minimal modifications to go race on the dirt. This is to keep the cost down compared to the $25K for a good 750. Oh, and to the guy below, they are doing well over 50,
wrong name: The first one who wrecked is named Jason Johnson, He races 410 sprint cars across the country but mainly at williams grove for awile in his career. After this wreck he had to take some time off, and missed speed week......
Harleys and fast?: racing and harley isnt that like old people and speeding? some things just dont go!!!
well: that second bike is a "chopper" now
probably: just that its the weakest point on the frame
at 01:12: a dude fucking dodges the two halves of the motorcycle in front of him mid air.
Harley Junk: See how those shitty things break apart...at about 50 mph...why the fuck would you wanna race a Harley? I would have been around the track and having a beer by the time they had a lap in.....guess I got a real bike though so that helps
fake_cake: Are you stupid? Its got a guy narrating, and its got it from different angles. Jesus, you're stupid.
haha: sport hurts
stupid people: not everything is fake idiot!
fake: it all looks computer redered to me
That had to feel: fantastic
for heavens...: sake, dudes in motogp wreck and just slide... i think it is the harley to blame
I dont know: I see more fucking idiots on rockets eating shit on here than harleys. rockets and harleys are both trendy pieces of shit. comment on the vid not the bike you fucking queers
...: Thats why you shouldent ride harleys...
.: Lucky that any bike with a Hardly Movingson, sorry I mean Harley Davidson engine can't go over 50mph anyway.
lucky guy: notice the third guy that would've driven right into the second bike crash had the bike not split in two allowing him to drive between the two parts.
They're dead: I can fly higher
Like the Imperial measurment system....: ...seppos are still insisting on Harley's as relevant technology!! Lol It's 50yrs old now!! MOVE ON USA, DUMP HARLEY'S AND USE METRIC !!! (oh yeah, get out of IRAQ too. Worked that out yet or what!??)
howiee: wasnt really a tight ass u raped there....
Dumbass: Harley Davidson was winning races on dirt (& still is) long before japaneese bikes ever came over here. 40 year old XR 750s are still dominant on miles & half miles. RETARD!
that is exactly what i was going to say: the commentator( whos on all theese scary vids) says the impact broke them both but he's wrong
I was cursed before I read this comment.: I am hoping that your curse will cancel out my bad luck, I am married, that is my curse, plus I work on a hog farm. Thanks alot.
idiot: u mean third? and chasis? jackass
sigh We have some work to do with you....: It's spelled THIRD.... It's spelled WENT and last but not least.... it's spelled chassis. Is this REALLY what our public schools are teaching? God help us all. Please say you are not American and English is a second language. In that case, no hard feelings.
first of all...: the handling doesnt matter, they dont use a harley frame... they are custom built FOR that type of racing, steering dampeners and everything, the put the shifter further back so it doesnt touch the ground as they slide.. the only thing harley on that bike is the motor.. and thats not always the case either, could be a rotax motor also. dont speak if you have no idea what you are talking about, homo
Marcus 10: You are an idiot...that's dirt. And they don't race those fag sport bikes in dirt either......gawd their is some retards on the internet.
that isn't dirt: dumbass
ON dirt?: MAN STFU.
the other guy: Oh, the other guy who hit him, Bryan Smith is now a member of the Screaming Eagle Harly factory support team now. He broke hisarm in the crash.
fasho: incredible
LMFAO: Dude i saw this befor ur comment was here and i was Like WTFF?????? DID ANYONE ELS SEE THAT........ cause the people that announce THEY DONT EVEN MENTION IT LMAO so retarded
hell yah: those bikes are a piece
your a tool: if you dont know he is just trying to get a reaction like the other 50,000 people that say everythings fake.
loser: Youre dumb and a looser!
fuck you: faggot lover
Yeah: I noticed.. and that was friggin lucky :O
you are: a moron
yea dav: go fuck your mom
ahhahahh: you got owned... stfu dav. and wtf... this clip is what, over 10 yrs old now?!? come on break! i'm gonna show a clip from the 40's and get some cheap flow you dumbass bitches
I: support both of your statements :p
Ah: Only on Break.com will you find an idiot who tries to make a clip about a bike crash into a debate over the war in Iraq. Dude, you're not cool and you're not smart. Debate stuff on a DEBATING board...not Break.com

I hope KJ doesn't mind me ripping off his title, but his post got me thinking about some of the implications of all that balance Izzo has at his disposal. One of these implications is more a curiosity than anything else, but it's quite likely that MSU, despite being at or near the top of B1G all season won't have a single first team all-conference player. I envision the first team looking like this:
DeShaun Thomas
Even more startling, I think a case can be made that second team could look as follows:
Aaron Craft (though I suspect Appling beats him out here)
As I note, Appling will probably beat out Craft, and Adreian Payne probably belongs on that second team over Richardson, but neither is a sure thing as both MSU guys have battled inconsistency during B1G play. In other words, I think it's entirely possible that one of the top teams in the country doesn't have a first or second team all conference player on its roster.

Rules Information
I'll use this page to post information regarding the NBA rules that the referees are selectively enforcing.
Official rules of the NBA: There are also summaries of rule changes from season to season, rules history and the most misunderstood rules. That last one might be one the officials should review on a regular basis.
NBA video rule book: Pretty cool resource for explanations of different types of fouls.
Illustrated Hand Signals: Good resource to understand what the various hand signals that officials use. It doesn't, however, give illustrations of hand signals fans use to show their distaste with the referees.

None of the 3 links at http://www.basketball-refs.com/rules-information/ (official rules, video rules, illustrated signals) work. The page http://www.basketball-refs.com/rules-information/ is not dated to provide an inkling of when it was considered useful. As of today, 07/10/11, the page http://www.basketball-refs.com/rules-information/ is 100% useless for "Rules Information."

Key dates for rookie debuts
MLB Trade Rumors is projecting that prospects called up in late April will allow teams an extra year of control. They'll have to wait until mid-June in order to avoid them gaining Super Two status. The latter gives the player a 4th bite at the arbitration apple which if they're performing at a star level can be big bucks.

I am posting this because I believe that the argument I made during this fanpost (scroll down) was incorrect and I believe accountability is something sorely lacking on the internet and journalism in general. To the point, I was wrong about what I thought it would take to get Marco Scutaro from the Blue Jays. I believed that because of his journeyman status and career long journeyman production he could be had for Mark Lowe because of Lowe's pedigree and the Jay's relative lack of relief pitching depth.
What I incorrectly took into account was his free agent compensation level. For those of you who don't know a Tiger's blog reversed engineered the Elias Bureau free agent classification formula last year. USS Mariner recently posted the updated information here and low and behold Marco Scutaro was sitting at 7th overall in the 2B/SS/3B group (page 5) making him a Type A free agent.
This new information means that Scutaro's trade value is higher then I had it at because I believe that Riccardi also has this information as well as most GM's in baseball. However, I also believe a player like Scutaro holds a Juan Cruz or Orlando Cabrera situation where he would be a difficult sell on the free agent market because of that risk. It is possible a team does the whole Frank Catalanotto stupid signing with him but I don't think that is likely either. Regardless, I now believe an additional player would be necessary to acquire Scutaro. Depending on what Riccardi values that player would be anything from Rob Johnson to Noregia to Tyson Gilies or something beyond the Mariner's price range.
Either way my apologies to seattlebruin and olesalty who might have had a better read on the situation then I did whether or not they took this information into account

Police have warned of a spate of shoplifting in Bexhill.
An operation has now been launched to halt the offenders.
A Sussex Police statement said: "The operation consists of dedicated police patrols which have been deployed in the affected areas to provide a high visibility police presence, help to deter crimes being committed and to also be able to react to any offences which take place in the town.
"The operation also involved plain clothes police officers who have been able to discreetly patrol the local shops and catch unsuspecting shoplifters in the act.
"The operation was implemented in mid-February and has been a great success with 12 arrests so far."
Sergeant Mark Evans added: "We are committed to working with partner agencies and local traders to tackle shoplifting in Bexhill. Since starting Operation Papio, we have seen 12 individuals arrested and dealt with through the criminal justice system. We continue to tackle those who believe Bexhill is a soft touch in order to commit crime.'
"My message is clear. If you commit crime in Bexhill we will identify you, track you down, and arrest you."

Resistance Bands for Strength Training – a 'Stretch' in the Right Direction

I often use resistance bands/tubing as part of my training techniques because they are an effective, inexpensive and portable tool that can be used to increase leg strength...
What's Your Vector, Victor?
by Norm Meltzer
Instead of using only exercises whose motion is in direct opposition of the resultant force vector, you should also do some resistance training exercises that try to push or pull you off a straight path.
Five Resistance Training Myths in the Running World, by Eric Cressey, MA, CSCS
To some, resistance training is the Rodney Dangerfield of the running community; it gets no respect. To others, it's like Tom Cruise; runners think it might be useful, but it just doesn't make any sense to them.

I guess I have come down on the side of the argument that the NCAA had to punish Penn State to the extent it has for a host of reasons, but the driving concern was political in the face of severe public/media backlash. I've read the statement that the actions were meant to "put the presidents back in charge" so I can infer that the actions were also in response to the general situation of big school sports. Independent of the ***** deal that PSU received, I am OK with this. So, as the actions by the NCAA against PSU are, IMO, political, it, in a strange way gives me some hope.
Being a student of Chinese history I am a little familiar with purges and political movements against certain elements of society by the Chinese communists and their cousins in the former Soviet Union...and I guess even in modern day Russia....but nothing sends fear in to communities like the unbridled use of total power. Maybe an extreme example of what the NCAA did to Penn State, but I think the observation put forth by many that the lack of due process and actions by the NCAA totally outside its normal scope of operations and normal investigative (and democratic) process is scary. And let's face it, continuing with the allegory, Penn State is on the prisoner train to Siberia. Screw the collateral damages. The fan post of the 'Boz in his NCAA as Communists T-shirt is striking...With this action against PSU, the NCAA is acting as if it is a Communist dictatorship. And I am not saying this in an absolute critique of Communism, just an observation. (And I am not wearing, nor do not wear, a tin-foil hat, nor am I a Birther or believe 9-11 was created by a US president.)
From my understanding, PSU will have to submit to a high degree of NCAA control..similar to a Communist country where the Party is represented in all organizations by a Party Secretary, the person with the government connections that tend to hold the real power (particularly the power of fear) over the non-party members. This "dual" power structure is what helps keep the proletariat in line, especially if you can be sent off to a labor camp for some infraction, real or otherwise. (Remember in "Hunt for Red October" the Party dude on the sub that was the alternate power structure to the captain!)
So, we will have a "shadow" power structure at Penn State, ensuring we follow the rules and making us a "model citizen." Call it 'reform through labor,' 'brainwashing,' whatever, this is where we are at.
And to the rest of the nation, PSU is bruised, battered and bloodied.... our proud tradition of Success with Honor lying in a heap for all the other coaches, boosters, football fanatics to see. And fear. This is certainly the goal of the NCAA - to reaffirm their role and power in the struggle between academics and $ports.
But, what if, after the purge and exile, "reform through labor" works? Wouldn't it be just as powerful and reaffirm the NCAA's status at the top if they were to decide to bring Penn State back from the Gulag....and what if they did this early?
There are plenty of actual cases of some dissident, intellectual, leftist, rightist, some other "ist" being carted back from a death camp, propped up and declared "reformed!" All the better if they are still in prison grab, starving, shaking, only to be brought back to society by the same hand that left them for dead in the first place. THAT is power. That creates true allegiance.
So, my guess is after two years, the NCAA will bring Penn State back, hold up a still quivering mess and say, "look!" "After submitting, they are better, they will not commit any infractions, morale or otherwise, and they are the new model."
So, maybe I am delusional or over hopeful. I don't think anyone sits on a prisoner train and believes that if they suffer enough they will be brought back as a model for reformation...but it has happened. Maybe our reform through labor will be cut short by the "benevolent" hand of the NCAA.
There is an equal amount of political power in the power of rehabilitation.

Emergency Fund Basics: How much do you need?
Experts suggest that you should have 3-6 months of living expenses set aside. It really depends on your situation, for instance how many children you have or your current lifestyle and insurance coverage. You may have opted for insurance coverage on your vehicle in the case of job loss or injury, which would lessen your needs.

Bill Moyers has put together an amazing 90-minute video documenting the lies that the Bush administration told to sell the Iraq War to the American public, with a special focus on how the media led the charge. I've watched an advance copy and read a transcript, and the most important thing I can say about it is: Watch PBS from 9 to 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 25. Spending that 90 minutes on this will actually save you time, because you'll never watch television news again – not even on PBS, which comes in for its share of criticism.
While a great many pundits, not to mention presidents, look remarkably stupid or dishonest in the four-year-old clips included in "Buying the War,†it's hard to take any spiteful pleasure in holding them to account, and not just because the killing and dying they facilitated is ongoing, but also because of what this video reveals about the mindset of members of the DC media. Moyers interviews media personalities, including Dan Rather, who clearly both understand what the media did wrong and are unable to really see it as having been wrong or avoidable.
It's great to see an American media outlet tell this story so well, but it leads one to ask: When will Congress tell it? While the Democrats were in the minority, they clamored for hearings and investigations, they pushed Resolutions of Inquiry into the White House Iraq Group and the Downing Street Minutes. Now, in the majority, they've gone largely silent. The chief exception is the House Judiciary Committee's effort to question Condoleezza Rice next week about the forged
But what comes out of watching this show is a powerful realization that no investigation is needed by Congress, just as no hidden information was needed for the media to get the story right in the first place. The claims that the White House made were not honest mistakes. But neither were they deceptions. They were transparent and laughably absurd falsehoods. And they were high crimes and misdemeanors.
The program opens with video of President Bush saying "
Was that believable or did the media play along? The next shot is of a press conference at which Bush announces that he has a script telling him which reporters to call on in what order. Yet the reporters play along, raising their hands after each comment, pretending that they might be called on despite the script.
Video shows Richard Perle claiming that Saddam Hussein worked with al Qaeda and that Iraqis would greet American occupiers as liberators. Here are the Weekly Standard, the Wall Street Journal, William Safire at the New York Times, Charles Krauthammer and Jim Hoagland at the Washington Post all demanding an overthrow of Iraq's government. George Will is seen saying that Hussein "has anthrax, he loves biological weapons, he has terrorist training camps, including 747s to practice on.â€
But was that even plausible? Bob Simon of "60 Minutes†tells Moyers he wasn't buying it. He says he saw the idea of a connection between Hussein and al Qaeda as an absurdity: "Saddam, as most tyrants, was a total control freak. He wanted total control of his regime. Total control of the country. And to introduce a wild card like al Qaeda in any sense was just something he would not do. So I just didn't believe it for an instant.â€
Knight Ridder Bureau Chief John Walcott didn't buy it either. He assigned Warren Strobel and Jonathan Landay to do the reporting, and they found the Bush claims to be quite apparently false. For example, when the Iraqi National Congress (INC) fed the New York Times' Judith Miller a story through an Iraqi defector claiming that Hussein had chemical and biological weapons labs under his house, Landay noticed that the source was a Kurd, making it very unlikely he would have learned such secrets. But Landay also noticed that it was absurd to imagine someone putting a biological weapons lab under his house.
But absurd announcements were the order of the day. A video clip shows a Fox anchor saying "A former top Iraqi nuclear scientist tells Congress
Landay comments: "Or jumping into pits of fouled water and having to kill a dog with your bare teeth. I mean, this was coming from people, who are appearing in all of these stories, and sometimes their rank would change.â€
Forged documents from
Simon from 60 Minutes tells Moyers that when the White House claimed a 9-11 hijacker had met with a representative of the Iraqi government in
Moyers questions a number of people about their awful work, including Dan Rather, Peter Beinart, and then Chairman and CEO of CNN Walter Isaacson. And he questions Simon, who soft-pedaled the story and avoided reporting that there was no evidence.
Landay at Knight Ridder did report the facts when it counted, but not enough people paid attention. He tells Moyers that all he had to do was read the UN weapons inspectors reports online to know the White House was lying to us. When Cheney said that Hussein was close to acquiring nuclear weapons, Landay knew he was lying: "You need tens of thousands of machines called 'centrifuges' to produce highly enriched uranium for a nuclear weapon. You've got to house those in a fairly big place, and you've got to provide a huge amount of power to this facility.â€
Moyers also hits Tim Russert with a couple of tough questions. Russert expressed regret for not having included any skeptical voices by saying he wished his phone had rung. So, Moyers begins the next segment by saying "Bob Simon didn't wait for the phone to ring,†and describing Simon's reporting. Simon says he knew the claims about aluminum tubes were false because 60 Minutes called up some scientists and researchers and asked them. Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post says that skeptical stories did not get placed on the front page because they are not "definitive.â€
Moyers shows brief segments of an Oprah show in which she has on only pro-war guests and silences a caller who questions some of the White House claims. Just in time for the eternal election season, Moyers includes clips of Hillary Clinton and John Kerry backing the war on the basis of Bush and Cheney's lies. But we also see clips of Robert Byrd and Ted Kennedy getting it right.
The Washington Post editorialized in favor of the war 27 times, and published in 2002 about 1,000 articles and columns on the war. But the Post gave a huge anti-war march a total of 36 words. "What got even less ink,†Moyers says, "was the release of the National Intelligence Estimate.†Even the misleading partial version that the media received failed to fool a careful eye.
Landay recalls: "It said that the majority of analysts believed that those tubes were for the nuclear weapons program. It turns out, though, that the majority of intelligence analysts had no background in nuclear weapons.†Was Landay the only one capable of noticing this detail?
Colin Powell's UN presentation comes in for similar quick debunking. We watch a video clip of Powell complaining that Iraq has covered a test stand with a roof. But AP reporter Charles Hanley comments: "What he neglected to mention was that the inspectors were underneath watching what was going on.â€
Powell cited a UK paper, but it very quickly came out that the paper had been plagiarized from a college student's work found online. The British press pointed that out. The US let it slide. But anyone looking for the facts found it quickly.
Moyers' wonderful movie is marred by a single line, the next to the last sentence, in which he says: "The number of Iraqis killed, over 35,000 last year alone, is hard to pin down.†A far more accurate figure could have been found very easily.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Police believe two suspects wanted for breaking into homes at gun-point may be responsible for another aggravated robbery that happened Friday, and now they need your help finding them.
Police are looking for two men with active warrants out for their arrest in their suspected involvement in a home invasion about a month ago, and detectives suspect a possible link to the most recent armed break-in.
Last Friday, according to police reports, three suspects kicked in a duplex door in the 2800 block of Juniper. Three people were held at gun-point and took off with several items.
Investigators believe there are similarities between this break-in and several home invasions across the city over the past couple of months.
"The conduct around our victims was very similar to ones in past. This is the first that I recognize as a possible pattern to these two suspects since one we got video surveillance from," says Sgt. Jimmy Pachall of the Lubbock Police Department.
The family's security system captured the suspect on video.
Police say Daniel Reyna and Sergio Gonzalez broke into this house in back on march 22nd. A Lubbock grand jury indicted the two at the beginning of the month.
Sergio Gonzalez is described as a Hispanic male 5 feet 10 inches tall, 210 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. Daniel Reyna is described as an Hispanic male 5 feet 9 inches tall, 143 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.
If you know these men or happened to see anything that night you can call Crime Line at 741-1000 and remain anonymous.
There is a third suspect listed for the most recent home invasion who police are working to identify and locate. They say these men are considered armed and dangerous.

E Skolnick's blog
Well, I'm back to the theory that our coaches are sub par. The game planning and play calling in this game was atrocious, in my opinion. I can't even list all the head scratchers in this game; from bootlegs with Pennington, to running 4 out of 6 times in the red zone, to having the ball at the 47 yd line right before half with 27 seconds and throwing a screen instead of down field to try and get a FG.
One critical point in the game was when we were down 20-13. We forced Baltimore to punt after our score and had moved the ball out of our end zone after a poor decision by Bess. The play calling from the 20 yd line; wildcat run, 2 yds, quick screen to Bess, 5 yards, Pennington to Camerillo, 2 yds. Punt. Huh? Then near the end of the game on 3rd & 10 near the red zone we ran a wildcat reverse. I mean, come on! The next play was completed to Cobbs on 4th down, but he came up short and we turned it over on downs. Just put Pennington in the shot gun with 4 WR and let him throw it for god sakes!
It doesn't end on the offensive side of the ball either. On the drive where BAL went up 17-6, you had 3 consecutive plays where the defender covering the offensive guy was a mismatch; 2nd & 15, Starks in coverage against McGahee, 3rd & 3, Holliday covering Heap, 1st & 10, Ayodele covering WR Mark Clayton. How can these mismatches happen on 3 consecutive plays? The offensive game plan was much worse than defense, but still…
I came in thinking if we're smart we'll go 4WR Shotgun and just let Pennington pick this team apart for the first couple of drives to get a lead. They're a very tough team to run on and attempting it really is just futile. I remember two years ago Minnesota was a similar type of team (still is really) in the way that you simply could not run the football on them. New England played them in 2006. You want to know how many times NE ran it in the first half? 5 times. 5 rushes. They put Brady in the shotgun and passed it on every play. Score at half time? 21-0. They had 7 rushes through 3 quarters and they had a commanding 31-7 lead. Then they ran it. They finished with 13 total rushes by the RB vs. Brady throwing 43 times. And remember, this was before Moss.
Belichick knew that running against Minnesota was a waste of time, so he simply did what he knew would beat them; pass it. We waited until we were down by a couple of scores and then opened it up. Frustrating is an understatement for this game.
Other Game Notes:
1.) Charlie Anderson. He wasn't off sides on the play he sacked and stripped Flacco. He timed the snap perfectly and we recovered the fumble at the 30. Bad call. I'd also point out that I was impressed with his hustle on the McGahee fumble later in the game. Anderson was rushing the passer, but chased the play all the way down field to recover Y. Bell forced fumble. You have to like that kind of effort.
2.) These guys have to stop blitzing Crowder from the backside of the formation on 1st and 2nd down. They've done this several times this year and we get burnt a lot on it. He's blitzing from outside of Matt Roth on the back side of the play and leaves the middle exposed on a run. If you're going to run blitz him, do it from the strong side or left side of the defense because that is where we're most vulnerable. Again, I just don't understand how these coaches think when attacking an opposing team.
3.) I'll reiterate what I said last week; Joey Porter is commendable on his pass rush, but forgettable on his run defense. This really surprises me because I thought last year he did a great job. If any of you or your staff have the time or inclination I'd love to see the rushing stats against our defense when the offense is running to Roth's side of the field vs. Porter. I bet there is a huge difference in yards per rush.
4.) Roth is stellar against the run. These coaches need to put Roth on the left side of the defense (over right tackle) and leave him there. Early in the season the Fins would try and match up Roth with the TE. Before the snap Roth and Porter would jump around according to this alignment. They don't do it anymore and teams are simply running to their right a lot more or away from Roth. A typical thing the past couple of weeks is lining up the TE on the left side of the offense to get Roth over there, then motioning the TE right (Roth stays on left) and then they run right at Porter to their strong side. Or they line up TE left and have the fullback lead the way to the right. We have to find a way to get Matt on the strong side of the defense because he's a lot better against the run.
5.) Ted Ginn. I'm sure all of us are in agreement that it's about time he was in on at least kickoffs. He also had some nice catches in the game. The kid has soft hands, but I'm starting to think the coaching staff doesn't know how to use him either. They constantly have him running plays on the outside. I think he'd be more effective in the slot or running certain patterns that bring him across the field vs. just straight up it. Look at the game tape when he is in the slot with around 10:39 to go in the second quarter. The corner tries to jam him, but he puts a move on him and is wide open down the middle. If Pennington sees him, he's gone. There was no one home. There was another play late in the game when Ginn ran a drag pattern, but was caught short on 3rd down. The design of the play was poor. I'd line up everyone on the right except Ginn, have them run slants or in routes to pull the defense one way and then have Ginn running a drag route the opposite way. By the time the defense could reverse their field Ginn would be at max speed and probably have a big gain. This seems so simple to me, yet we don't do it.
6.) Vernon Carey – He seemed to have a lot of problems with Trevor Pryce (#90) who forced some stuff in the backfield. The more this season goes on the more I have to conclude that this regime isn't going to resign Carey. He hasn't been better than average this year. There are also a lot of good linemen in this draft, so I wouldn't be surprised to see them let him go.
7.) As for the other linemen, Satele and EK still continue to disappoint me. They struggle a lot. Satele just doesn't seem to be strong enough at the point and he really has problems finding someone to block at the second level or in space. Long, Smiley and eventually Donald Thomas are probably the keepers and upgrades at Center and Right Tackle are preferable.
8.) Patrick Cobbs. I've been real impressed with his pass catching ability lately and his explosiveness. Earlier in the season I thought Ricky should be on the field more than Cobbs, but no more. Cobbs has a second gear and an explosion off the line that Ricky doesn't have and has more "giddy up" than even our wide receivers.
9.) Coming up short on 3rd & 4th downs. This has been a reoccurring theme in recent weeks. We're constantly coming up inches short of a first down and then punting. We have to either find a better set of plays or give the ball to a better player who can get those extra inches in these critical situations.
Up Next; Buffalo. Dare I say 2-5? Who said playoffs 2 weeks ago? I feel it's appropriate to run that Jim Mora Coors Light commercial right now…."
Now I have to take some exception to several of his points... well many, like blaming the coachs for penne dinking under on 3rd down plays, or blaming the coaches for the runs on 3rd and long which penne admits he audibled to, or satele being unable to block at the second level (something I believe he does well)<!-- begin typepad category labels --><!-- end typepad category labels -->

Journal For Plague Lovers - Manic Street Preachers
- Band Name: Manic Street Preachers
- Record Label: Columbia
- Release Date: Sep 15, 2009
- Summary: The latest album for the Welsh rock band was produced by Steve Albini and features lyrics from Richey James Edwards, who went missing in 1995.
- Record Label: Columbia
- Genre(s): Rock, Alternative
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 17 out of 18
Mixed: 1 out of 18
Negative: 0 out of 18
By breathing life into Richey Edwards's own last words, his friends have crafted not a memorial but a celebration. [Jun 2009, p.120]
Journal for Plague Lovers winds up being The Holy Bible in reverse: every moment of despair is a reason to keep on living instead of an excuse to pack it all in.
So while Journal for Plague Lovers doesn't quite match up to The Holy Bible, essentially it doesn't need to.
Forgoing the arena-rock of recent years for something close to the barbed punk of their "Holy Bible" era--though less disjointed this time, and studded with hooks you could hang a feather boa from--they've made a complex but very listenable record.
Journal For Plague Lovers is an outstanding album in its own right and is not "The Holy Bible." But then again, what is?
To date, this is as close to their masterpiece, The Holy Bible, as they've ever come. [Fall 2009, p.92]
Disjointed, imperfect, tender and raw, at the final reckoning it sits as a fitting epitaph.
Score distribution:
Positive: 13 out of 13
Mixed: 0 out of 13
Negative: 0 out of 13
May 20, 2011Well... where do I start? The 9th album by the Manics is 14 songs of rock heaven, in my opinion there best album to date with Send away the tigers in 2nd and everything must go in 3rd. The reason for this is that every song seems to have so much efffort into them, each song has great music, great singing from JDB and of course great lyrics from Richey Edwards. The Holy Bible has great lyrics from Richey Edwards but the music doesnt support them but this type the music does. ITS BRILLIANT.… Expand
Nov 11, 2010This is my first MSP album, and I have to think it will be hard for them to top this. The first go through I didn't think much of it, decent songs but nothing memorable. Well it really catches on and I find every song has something worth hearing in it, no filler material in here.… Expand
Apr 25, 2011This album just gets better and better the more you listen to it.
I think this album will be considered a rock classic in years to come - a cult classic up there with the Holy Bible. The songs are so diverse and emotionally raw. Awesome album.… Collapse
Dec 6, 2011This is not the best album of the century or the year, but a noteworthy effort from the Welsh alternative band.

Texas A&M decided to throw a monkey wrench into the SEC's championship run by beating Alabama. Of course, most of us were too busy celebrating the win over Louisville to notice.
|If the season ended today
|BCS Championship
|#1 Kansas State (B12) vs #2 Oregon (P12)
|Kansas State (B12) vs. Oregon (P12)
|#13 Stanford (P12/at-large) vs #14 Nebraska (B10)
|USC (P12/at-large) vs Nebraska (B10)
|#12 Oklahoma (B12/at-large) vs #5 Georgia (SEC/at-large)
|Oklahoma (B12) vs Alabama (SEC/at-large)
|#4 Alabama (SEC) vs #3 Notre Dame (IND/auto-bid)
|Georgia (SEC) vs Notre Dame (IND/auto-bid)
|#10 Florida State (ACC) vs #19 Louisville (Big East)
|Florida State (ACC) vs Rutgers (Big East, ick)
The "If the season ended today" projection is based on the current BCS standings, and my estimation of how bowl selection committees would react to the current standings if they were present at the end of the season. In my estimation, what bowls value is, in order
- Protecting relationships with conferences
- Out of town fans in the seats
- Local fans in the seats
- TV viewers
- Novelty
- Providing a good game (note that this is sixth on the list)
However, the bowls have various agreements to take certain teams under certain rules, so Ohio State and USC don't just play in the Rose Bowl every year no matter what happens in the regular season.
Unless it's extremely improbable (or impossible) that the highest-ranked team in the BCS standings can win a conference, the highest-ranked team in a conference is considered its projected champion for the purposes of the 'if the season ended today' projection.
Also worth noting, the selection order for the BCS bowls this year is Fiesta, Sugar, Orange.
BCS Championship: Texas A&M knocked Alabama out of the top 3, and Oregon's love from the humans helps more than ND's love from the computers, so K-State is #1 (with the best balance of appreciation from CPUs and people) and Oregon #2 right now. And I project that to hold up, if only because I think ND is going to lose to USC.
Rose Bowl: The current BCS rankings have Oregon in the title game, while Nebraska leads the Big Ten (excluding non-BCS-eligible Ohio State). While the Ducks would need to beat all of the potentially BCS eligible other Pac 12 teams to go to the BCS title game, right now Stanford is available and the Rose Bowl's loyalty to the Pac 12 suggests they will take a Pac 12 team if they can. I'm projecting USC to actually get there, though it may be a bit of a reach; I think a win over a top-3 ND and a ranked UCLA will help them more than losing to Oregon again will hurt them.
Fiesta Bowl: If the season ended today, Kansas State is in the title game. Even with picking up a second loss to Notre Dame, Oklahoma replaces them in the Fiesta Bowl as they'd prefer to take a Big 12 team. Rather than create a rematch with Notre Dame, the Fiesta selects one of the many SEC teams available. Right now, I project Georgia here and Alabama in the Sugar Bowl as SEC champions, but just for fun I flip them in my projections. There's really nothing stopping the Fiesta from taking Florida or Texas A&M or LSU or South Carolina, though.
Sugar Bowl: As Alabama is the highest-ranked SEC team and no longer in the top 2, they're in the Sugar if the season ended today. Because Oklahoma/Notre Dame would be a rematch, and I think the Pac 12 will find a way to sneak a 2nd team into the top 14 somehow, I project ND falling to the Sugar in my projections, too. But I have Georgia winning the SEC just because (or really, because LSU and A&M showed you could pass on Alabama, and Aaron Murray is pretty good).
Orange Bowl: Florida State's position at the top of the ACC is surprisingly comfortable despite it not being the 1990s anymore the last time I checked. On the other side, the Orange Bowl picks last again this year, and with Louisville as the current Big East leader in the BCS rankings, they go on the other side here. However, after what we did to Louisville, I find it hard to project them actually winning the Big East, the scenarios for Cinci winning the Big East are complicated, and the one for us doing so is about as likely as winning PowerBall, so I very reluctantly have Rutgers projected as the Big East champion (please, Cards or Bearcats, don't let this happen).

[Also on this page: Vivian Cook book extracts Guardian, Western Mail. See also Media and Spelbites.]
TES (Times Educational Supplement) TEACHER. September 24 2004. Subject Focus: English. p22. [Extracts.]
Breaking out of the spell.
The spelling police might be on the look-out for 'mistakes', but modern texting conventions may point to a rich creativity with the language, says Vivian Cook.When people discuss spelling, they tend to be in one of two moods. One is angry criticism of people who have the presumption to make spelling mistakes ... The other mood is regret for the declining standards of society ...
... the current orthography of English ... works for billions of people around the world, some of whom have great difficulty in understanding spoken English ...
English has complex rules for these links, examples being:
- One letter may have several different sounds - the letter "a", for instance, has three, as in brat, bravo and brave.
- Two letters may be combined to make one sound, such as "th" in thin.
- The order of letters may be out of step with the order of sounds - eg the
"u" in guess is there to show the pronunciation of the "g" which
occurs before it.
Spelling has to adapt to new times and new technology, like anything else. Take the way people use emails, text messages or chat-rooms, ... One convention is to use acronyms for phrases - eg LOL (laughing out loud) and BRB (be right back). This has a long tradition in informal English. TTFN (ta-ta for now) and asap (as soon as possible) go back many years.
A pervasive texting convention is the use of letters or numbers as words - "c u 18er" for "see you later". Devotees claim this shortens messages and makes them faster to key in. However this convention has probably also existed for many years - eg pub notices (R U 18?) and pop-group names (4-Hero).
Beyond this, quite evidently many people feel spelling is fun. Why else would they choose to call their car "PS9 CHO", their house "Llamedos" (spell it backwards) or their racehorse "Funny Cidev?
[An inset section of Portia's speech in Act IV, The Merchant of Venice, showed spellings of Shakespeare's time. 'Inside the chatroom' showed texting abbreviations.]
Guardian Unlimited. September 15, 2004. [Extracts from the extract!]
Should we worry about English spelling?
Weird or wierd? Minuscule or miniscule? Spelling has stumped, intrigued and infuriated us for centuries. In his new book, Vivian Cook, professor of applied linguistics at the University of Newcastle, talks us through every aspect of the English spelling system, from silent letters and hyphenation to Americanisms and txt spk.
Extract from Accomodating Brocolli in the Cemetary : or, why can't anybody spell? by Vivian Cook (Profile Books). 2004.Many people argue that English spelling is simply awful. Six out of 10 15-year-olds can't write 10 lines without making at least one spelling mistake and adults struggle with words such as accommodate and broccoli all their lives.
By contrast, Noam Chomsky, the greatest linguist of our time, claims the current spelling of English is 'a near optimal system'. He feels that spelling that departs from the pronunciation sometimes helps us to understand what we are reading. Silent letters like the 'g' in sign [and] signature; the fact the past tense ending '-ed' is said in three different ways, 't' (liked), 'd' (played), 'id' (waited) but written in only one, '-ed', makes clear their common meaning.
The difference between Shaw and Chomsky comes down to how they think spelling works. One of its functions is indeed to show the sounds of words. Italian or Finnish use such links virtually all the time. But in English the correspondence between letters and sounds is usually much less straight-forward.
With some written symbols, you either know what they mean or you don't have any idea, say '£', '#' or '%'. You do not have to know how they are said to get their meaning. The second function of spelling is then to show what words mean.
English spelling is far more systematic than most people suspect. The most well-known rule 'i before e except after c' applies to only 11 out of the 10,000 most common words of English - eight forms of receive, plus ceiling, receipt and perceive.
All this change and outside influence has meant that English spelling now presents a rich set of possibilities for our use and entertainment. Pop-groups call themselves: the Beatles, Eminem and Sugababes. Novelists hint at dialects. Text messages cut down the number of letters: Wot time r u goin 2 b home?
It is indeed important for the international use of English that it is not too closely tied to speech.
So do we need to get excited about the frequent mistakes that people make when using the English writing system? Mistakes don't necessarily prevent us understanding the message. ... The most talented writers make spelling mistakes. Keats once spelled fruit as furuit, W.B. Yeats wrote peculiarities as peculeraritys, and Hemingway wrote professional as proffessional. Does this detract in any way from their achievements?
Attempts to meddle with the spelling without this kind of factual basis have often been disastrous in the past, landng us with the 'b' of debt and the 'c' of scissors.
Rather than continually carping about the decline of the English language, as people have been doing since at least the 16th century, we should try to understand and develop the amazing resource that is available to us.
28 aug 2004. The Western Mail.
What are words worth?
Linguistics professor Vivian Cook, Accomodating Brocolli In The
"If you have a 'k' sound, in old English system it might be spelt with a 'k',
like 'kill'. In the Romance language it might be 'ch', like 'choral'. And in the
exotic system it might be spelt with a single 'k', as in 'mark', which would be 'ck'
in basic spelling."
"We were landed with things like the 'b' in 'debt', because people thought English had to be more like Latin, so they added a 'b' to things like 'debt' and 'subtle', sometimes getting it completely wrong," explains Cook.
"The most famous one was the word 'admiral', which didn't originally have a 'd' in it. They thought it was to do with the Latin word 'ad-miral'. In fact, it came from the Persian 'amir', meaning prince. There's no reason for a 'd' whatsoever."
"In Dutch, at the beginning of a word you have 'gh' not 'g', so we now have a whole range of words like 'ghost', 'ghastly', 'aghast' and 'gherkin' because of a printing mistake."

At a press conference today, a bipartisan group of legislators – including by Reps. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), John Conyers (D-Mich.), and Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) – will announce the introduction of The Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2014 in Congress.

Comments: I had problems growing chaeto in the back of my 34g solana and suspected low iron levels. After 2 days and the first 5ml dose of this product, the chaeto starting growing instead of dieing!
Comments: Good Stuff makes plants grow. I have been using this stuff for years.
Comments: I can see the difference in the corals. It's a great product.
Comments: works great
Comments: I specifically bought this product to help suppliment the Goniopora Stokesi I have been able to keep in my 55 gallon reef for the last 8 months. Last week I noticed that it's growth has stopped after 7 + moths of solid and great growth it seemed to have reached it's full potential. After adding this solution the polyps came right back to their original size of ~ 8-9 inches (tiny bit bigger than prior to adding.) All other corals in the tank have shown better extension as well. Dose as reccomended and not any more.

Thank you!

She once said it is one of her favourite comedies and she knows the script by heart - so it's hardly surprising Jennifer Lawrence jumped at the chance to be a part of the Dumb and Dumber sequel.
The Oscar-winning actress has reportedly filmed a cameo appearance in Dumb and Dumber To, the sequel to the 1994 comedy starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels.
She is currently filming Mockingjay, the third film in the Hunger Games trilogy, but the set is very near to the Dumb and Dumber one.
Jennifer Lawrence has reportedly filmed a cameo in the Dumb and Dumber sequel (WENN)
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jennifer and the rest of the Mockingjay cast visited the Dumb and Dumber set in Atlanta.
And while she was there, she reportedly filmed a cameo playing a younger version of Kathleen Turner's character.
She recently told chat show host Jimmy Fallon that that Dumb and Dumber was among her favorite comedies and said: "I know every word to Dumb and Dumber, Step Brothers and Anchorman." She was then challenged by Fallon to recite a line from the movie, which she did!
Jennifer, 23, has been a busy girl of late, what with filming Mockingjay, David O. Russell's American Hustle and X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Jeff Daniels posted this snap of him and Jim Carrey on the Dumb and Dumber To set (Jeff_Daniels/Twitter)
Dumber and Dumber To sees Carrey and Daniels reprise their roles as Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne and it picks up 20 years after the first movie.
They embark on another road trip but this time it's to track down a long-lost child, because one of them needs a kidney.
The movie, directed by the Farrelly brothers, is due for release next year and also stars Turner, Rachel Melvin, Laurie Holden and Steve Tom.
Australian band Empire of the Sun will compose the score, and Peter Farrelly said they were having a great time making it.
He said: "It's going well. We have a great script and now we are just trying to get it made. I love the script. It's exactly like the first one. We pick up 20 years later. We explain what they've done for the last 17 or 18 years. We take off from that and it's just a lot of laughs."

Backpacker Magazine – October 2005
Slash weight, not weather protection, with this year's top new ultralight tents.
When one of our testers handed his partner this tent, the skeptical buddy asked, "Are you positive this is a two-person tent?" He's a believer now. Little bro to the award-winning Half Dome (Editors' Choice, 4/02), the Quarter Dome nicely balances space to weight, weather resistance, and ventilation. The two-pole design pitches in a couple minutes the first time--even if you're alone--thanks to dead-end pole sleeves, color-coded fly straps, and easy-to-adjust stake loops. With the help of external guys, it withstood strong winds from Idaho's White Clouds Mountains to the Mojave Desert, and another tester stayed bone dry through torrential rains in the Queets Valley of Olympic National Park. Mesh walls and a vent aid airflow; another tester had no condensation even with his wife and two toddlers sardined inside. Best of all, you can pick up the Quarter Dome for a price--$219--that should give competitors night sweats. At this weight, of course, there are sacrifices, mainly headroom and length for campers taller than about 6'2". Twin doors and (small) vestibules are a luxury, though we'll nitpick a design that allows rain to drip inside when the outer doors are open. $219; 82"x52"x40"; 3 lbs. 12 oz. (800) 426-4840; www.rei.com.

While some people treat their pets as children, others might consider handing over the parenting reigns for a change.
Richard Peterson, vice president of education at Kiddie Academy, a national educational child care provider, says that dogs can provide a teaching tool for households.
The classrooms often have visits from R.E.A.D. Reading Education Assistance Dogs or therapy dogs to help us teach lessons about community helpers, character education and literacy, according to Peterson.
He offered five lessons that dogs can teach children: sequencing, cause and effect, empathy, math and science, and listening can all be explained to children.

Tintin in the land of Israel
By DAFNA LASKIN
05/09/2012 22:07
Fans can get reacquainted with the comic-book hero during 1-day convention at Cartoon and Comic Museum in Holon.
CARTOONIST MICHEL KICHKA'S interpretation of an ol
Photo: Michel Kichka
The Cartoon and Comic Museum in Holon, in conjunction with the Belgian Embassy, is holding a tribute to Tintin, "From Herge to Spielberg." Michel Kichka, an illustrator and cartoonist who made aliya from Belgium in 1974, will moderate the day-long event. Kichka, also a lecturer in visual arts at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, hopes that the ceremony, like the movie released by Spielberg in 2011, will bring Tintin back into the consciousness of today's youth.
The main focus of the various sessions will be on Georges Remi, Tintin's creator. Remi, a comics artist and illustrator commonly known by his pen name, Herge, introduced the character of Tintin, a teenaged Belgian journalist with a penchant for adventure, in 1929. Herge, who had from a young age taken to comics and illustration, brought readers of all ages to every corner of the world.
Over the years, admirers have met Tintin in many forms. First, in Herge's serial comic strip in Belgium's
Le Petit Vingtième
, which were soon after published as adventure books. The publication was shut down following the Nazi occupation of Belgium, incidentally interrupting what was Tintin's adventure into then British Mandate Palestine, in
The Land of Black Gold.
The story, which featured Tintin's run-in with members of the Irgun after docking in Haifa, was eventually changed once the State of Israel was declared, and has since taken place in the fictional Arab country of Khemed.
It was during the Nazi Occupation that Herge began drawing his famous character for
Le Soir
, Belgium's most popular French-language daily newspaper, which after the occupation was known to be closely associated with the Nazi regime. Though Tintin's adventures took a turn away from current events, the comic was not without controversy.
Published in 1941,
The Shooting Star
featured Tintin in a race against American explorers to find a meteorite that has fallen to earth. At one point, the comic focuses on two men dressed in distinctly Jewish garb, discussing the end of the world. One of the men, who are both drawn with something of an evil appearance, states that at least when the world ends, he will no longer owe money to his creditors. Subsequent publications of The Shooting Star have been altered to omit these two characters, but their existence has led critics to accuse Herge of anti-Semitism.
Israelis may be most familiar with Tintin's television persona in
The Adventures of Tin Tin
, which enjoyed immense popularity as it ran in syndication in the early 1990s. Now, fans have the chance to become reacquainted with Tin Tin and his creator thanks to one of their own – Kichka.
KICHKA SEES the discussion of Herge's work as a forum on the state of the world at large, particularly through the lens of political correctness. A syndicate editorial cartoonist for publications such as France's
Le Monde
, Kichka's illustrations do not shy away from hot button issues, such as the Arab Spring and European politics. He is also a member of Cartooning for Peace, which Kichka says are for cartoonists from all over the world.
"The idea is to respect other religions, but not to be politically correct, not to just be provocative," he says.
Kichka, the son of Holocaust survivors, recently published an autobiographical graphic novel, based on not only his story he says, but the story of his entire generation – children who grew up with their parents' silence about the Holocaust. The novel has been well-received in France, Belgium and Switzerland.
"There is humor," Kichka notes. "It's very different, very emotional. I thought about it a long time, what to say and how to say it." He hopes that it will be published this year in Hebrew.
The ceremony will feature two Belgian experts on Herge, a panel of wellknown Israeli comic artists, including Kichka himself, and a screening of S p i e l b e r g ' s recent film,
The Adventures of Tintin
. One of the invited speakers, Daniel Covrer, an expert on Herge and an arts reporter for Le Soir, will speak about one the most controversial episodes in Tintin's history – Tintin in the Congo.
In the Congo, Tintin faces wild animals, the local African population, and diamond smugglers after being sent on assignment to report on the political situation. The comic was well-received when published in 1931, but eventually faced criticism for its depiction of animal cruelty and big game hunting, and most recently, for its depiction of the local Congolese people.
Since 2007, numerous public complaints have been leveled against the comic for its portrayal of African characters as patronizing and racist. As a result, many book stores chose to move that particular comic out of the children's section and into the adult graphic novel section, with a warning about its contents.
These moves have drawn mixed reactions, including from Kichka.
"You can't come 80 years after the comic was written and complain about what was then," Kichka says. "You have to know how to read a book. You are not born a tolerant person, you need to receive an education in it."
Kichka, who organized a more formal celebration of the 100th anniversary of Herge's birth in 2007, hopes that today's events, which are free, will draw artists, students, and anyone who might be interested in the story behind the fictional young Belgian reporter whose travels around the world introduced readers to new places and cultures.
In addition to the two Belgian speakers, five Israeli artists will also speak. Chanan Kaminski will address Tintin in film, Jacques Fima will speak about his episode in Palestine and Uri Fink will discuss his work translating the comics into Hebrew. Shay Charka's talk will be on Herge's legacy, and Kichka will discuss the "Hijacking of Herge." There will also be a screening of a documentary on Tintin, and finally, the screening of his newest movie.
'From Herge to Spielberg' runs today at the Holon Mediatechque from 1- 8 p.m. The event is open to the public. Admission is free. Visit

I love Love LOVE this Giant Pencil. I drove 85 miles to see it and was worth every mile. I like larger-than-life things, so this was perfect.[Connie from Seattle, 07/19/2013]
A giant pencil is balanced on its lead point on the front porch of a home in Centralia. The home was built in 1923 and currently houses a tutoring business. The owner of the business built the pencil just to see if he had the requisite skills and enough knowledge of geometry to get it done. Once it was completed it was carried in a local parade on the bed of a vintage pickup.
It was recently bolted to the porch of the home as a way of sharing it with more people. It is 24 feet tall, 2 feet in diameter, and weighs 250 pounds. It is made of cedar and plywood with a metal ferrel and foam eraser.[Steve, 09/16/2012]

This was the day that the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations needed. With a desperately poor start to the proceedings that 'featured' a brace of scoreless Group A matches on Saturday, fans were hoping for goals -- and some genuine entertainment in the process. We got it from Group B.
Ghana 2-2 Democratic Republic of the Congo
Ghana versus the Democratic Republic of the Congo was a match tilted in favour of the Black Stars, and despite some early pressure it looked as though the favourites would cruise through. Goals on either side of halftime -- a scrambled finish from Emmanuel Badu Agyemang and a header by Kwadwo Asamoah -- gave Ghana a 2-0 lead and it didn't really look as though they were going to relinquish it.
Then (surprise!) they did. A nonchalant finish by Tresor Mputu after a fantastic through ball from Cedric Makiadi brought the DRC back into the game with 53 minutes gone, and the managed to draw level after Jerry Akaminko brought down Deiudonne Mbokani in the box 15 minutes later, with Mbokani dusting himself off to slot the penalty beyond Fatau Dauda.
Did the DRC's players celebrate? Boy did they ever!
via @bubbaprog
Ultimately, both sides ended up settling for a point with a 2-2 draw, but the Diables Rouges will be by far the happier side after their stirring comeback.
Mali 1-0 Niger
With the tournament starting with three consecutive draws, we finally got a victory when Mali edged past NIger in a match that was far tougher than anticipated. Heavy favourites, Mali found the Menas an extremely difficult nut to crack, and the closest either side came to a goal in the first 80 minutes was when a long-range effort from Seydou Keita was well saved by Kassaly Daouda.
The ex-Barca man was finally able to break the deadlock when his shot hit the post and he was able to fire home the rebound past the helpless goalkeeper to earn Mali a vital three points.

Deputies in Currituck County say an assault report filed in April was false.
Deputies tell us a woman filed a report saying a man dressed as an officer pulled her over, hit her and sexually assaulted her.
While investigating, deputies found inconsistencies in the victim's story. On Tuesday, the victim admitted to investigators that she made the whole thing up. She also admitted her injuries were self-inflicted.
We talked with investigators, who say charges are possible.
A woman says she was assaulted by a man pretending to be law enforcement.
Deputies in Currituck County say they're investigating the woman's allegation that she was pulled over Thursday morning on Caratoke Highway in Barco and physically assaulted by a male impersonating a law enforcement officer.
He's said to be driving a mid-size white vehicle, no make or model given, with a blue light on the dash. The suspect is described as a white male in his late 40's, brown hair, a mole or birthmark on his face, wearing a black long sleeve shirt, and what appeared to be a badge on his belt.
Right now, there's no word on who he may be.
If you have information that can help identify the man, contact the Currituck County Sheriff's Office.

The Braves got two home runs from second baseman Dan Uggla and another good outing from Mike Minor en route to an 8-1 victory and a split of the four-game series against the Dodgers.
Uggla's first home run was one of seven runs Atlanta scored against struggling Dodgers starter Matt Magill, who had no control from the start. Down 1-0 after Mike Minor escaped a bases loaded jam relatively unscathed in the first inning, a walk by Jason Heyward and an error by Adrian Gonzalez on a Justin Upton dribbler put runners on first and second for Freddie Freeman. Freeman scorched a liner to center, loading the bases for Evan Gattis.
Gattis popped out to left, scoring Heyward to tie the game at one. That set the stage for Uggla, who launched a Magill cutter into the left field stands for a three-run homer to make it 4-1 Atlanta.
Atlanta extended the lead in the next half inning, with two walks to Minor and Justin Upton sandwiched around a Heyward single loaded the bases for Freeman, who crushed a ball to left center that was just out of reach of a diving Skip Schumaker. That cleared the bases, making it a 7-1 game and chasing Magill in the process.
Uggla homered against reliever Ronald Belisario to lead off the fifth inning, ending the scoring at 8-1 and notching his 13th home run of the season.
Minor, who recovered from a 31-pitch first inning where Los Angeles scored on a dribbler down the third base line from Schumaker, ended up with six very productive innings of work. The left-hander allowed just six hits and the one run while walking three and striking out six.

Nutella was only the beginning….I've made homemade peanut butter for some time now — I buy 30 pound bags of Valencia peanuts and our PB is cheaper and fresher and better than what we could find at the store. It is good, quick and easy, and while I've made foods that incorporated pulverized cashews, almonds, pecans, [Read On]

I noticed a spider on my bedroom wall this morning. Then another one, and then another one! They are no longer on my walls, and hopefully out of my bedroom -- but seeing them reminded me about a story I'd read recently about some confusion between spider bites, and the red, raw, horrible boils caused by MRSA.
You've probably heard of MRSA (pronounced MER-sah). It's a form of superbug, short for methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. It's often acquired by hospital patients, usually those who are elderly, or have had surgery, or some other kind of open wound. People with compromised immune systems are most likely to acquire MRSA. It's a superbug because the bacteria has learned to be stronger than any of the drugs developed to kill it. Sadly, it's very difficult to get rid of, and since the patient was usually sick or debilitated to begin with, many die from MRSA.
MRSA can be acquired in other ways, and during the past year, more and more reports of CA-MRSA, meaning Community Acquired MRSA have been reported. Young people have died -- usually (but not always) students who have used the showers in the high school gym, or someone who touched infected equipment at a workout center.
MRSA is everywhere -- even residing on the skin of most of us. It doesn't make everyone sick. If someone is strong and healthy to begin with, then he may carry MRSA around, having no idea he has MRSA on his skin, and can infect someone else whose immune system isn't strong enough to resist it.
Knowing almost anyone can pick it up, and if we are run down enough, or sick from something else, MRSA bacteria can infect any of us, then it makes sense to have some idea of what it looks like. As mentioned above, the red skin boils of MRSA can be mistaken for spider bites -- even by the professionals.
So here's a resource for you. If you have a strange looking red spot on your skin, that may itch or may hurt or ache, or even burns -- take a look at some of these photos.
Or is it an infection, even a MRSA infection?
Knowing the differences will help you talk to your doctor, and will improve your chances of getting the right diagnosis -- and the right treatment.
