The continues on the Ohio River on Sunday for a man who apparently jumped off one of the Twin Bridges on Saturday afternoon.
Authorities say they got a call around 1:00 p.m. Saturday that someone had jumped off the northbound bridge.

Though it sees less traffic than its more moderate neighbors, Ventilator should definitely be on your to do list. It is a challenging, slabby climb that seems to have gotten more challenging over the years as useful holds have crumbled off, but overall the rock is nice the moves are fun and the pro is good. Well...except getting to that first bolt, that can be a bit scary. Basically, you have to do some cruxy climbing to gain the first bolt with a little ledge beneath you. Keep your head together and you will be fine.
15 feet right of Bombardment (5.8). Accessed from the ledge atop the first pitch of that route.
Draws and a few pieces of trad gear. Belay from trees above.

text: I went to last year's Kickoff game and it should come as no surprise that traffic around the Georgia Dome is crazy and parking is at a minimum. I'd recommend that any fans going to Atlanta for the September 5th contest with Virginia Tech save a headache and get an advanced parking pass through the game's Web site. There are good deals available at their Web site, www.chick-fil-akickoffgame.com.

The problem with buying buttermilk at the grocery store is that the grocery stores don't always have it in stock. Another problem is that you may wind up with more buttermilk than you need and you will have to either freeze the leftover buttermilk or pour it down the drain. An alternative to either of these scenarios is to make your own buttermilk.
For 1 cup of buttermilk:
Measure 1 Tbsp of distilled white vinegar or lemon juice.
Pour the tablespoon of vinegar or lemon into a liquid measuring cup.
Add enough milk into the measuring cup to make 1 cup of buttermilk.
Stir. Let sit for 5 minutes and use in your recipe.

Woo delivers State of the College address
Outgoing Dean stresses value of liberal arts education
College of Arts and Sciences Dean Meredith Woo addressed an audience of students, faculty and administrators about the state of the College on Friday in Old Cabell Hall.
College Dean Meredith Woo addressed students, faculty and administrators about the state of the College Friday in Old Cabell Hall.
This semester marks Woo's last as Dean after assuming office in the summer of 2008.
Third-year Council President Will Laverack, a College student, introduced Woo. He spoke to his personal journey in the College and what he has gained from being a College student.
"When I arrived at U.Va. as a first year, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do," Laverack said. "But the College allowed me to test the waters, stay true to myself and explore diverse academic interests."
Woo's talk — "Is (The) College Worth Paying For?" — discussed the value of a liberal arts education.
"College is worth paying for only if it provides a transformative experience and education and teaches you how to think," Woo said.
Woo acknowledged that the outside world has changed significantly since she graduated from college in 1980, but she said a liberal arts degree is still valuable.
"Liberal arts majors do just as well in terms of income over their lifetime," Woo said. "Wall Street is the repository of history majors."
Woo said the College has "great momentum" moving forward.
"We have balanced the budget every year and have built a healthy reserve," Woo said. "We have new 50 hires this year and we are going to keep hiring at that pace until we plateau at about 600."
She added, however, the College still has several areas for improvement.
"Today there are too many obstacles that make it difficult for teachers to be teachers and scholars to be scholars," Woo said. "The solution is restructuring the professoriate into different categories while still respecting teaching and research."
Woo said professors should change their teaching styles to fit students' changing ways of obtaining information.
"The vast majority of students' knowledge does not come from the classroom," Woo said. "Professors need to provide education in the classroom that compliments what they are getting from Internet."
Woo also stressed the University's need to remain competitive with other Universities — a task College Development Officer Pattie Burgh said would require the University raise funds to increase its hiring efforts in the coming years.
"In the next five to ten years, U.Va. will lose 40 percent of its staff due to retirement," Burgh said. "The Faculty Forward Campaign is raising money so that we can be competitive."
The Faculty Forward Campaign is an effort by the College to raise a combined $130 million for the endowment and spendable gifts by June 2016 to dedicate to improving faculty hiring and research funding.

Texas A&M president Bowen Loftin and athletic director Bill Byrne, along with SEC commissioner Mike Slive and Bernie Machen held a press conference Tuesday to officially induct the Aggies into the SEC. You can read their remarks here, and here's the tl;dr version:
The SEC was happy at 12 teams and is now happy at 13 teams. Oklahoma staying in the Big 12 appeared to be a sign that nobody was going to sue over A&M leaving. Working on schedule options. Something about academics. The SEC's TV contract provides for "look-in" negotiations.
Texas A&M feels its football is ready to compete. Also, other sports. The Aggies are open to keep playing Arkansas in Dallas and still want to play Texas. Not yet sure what the Big 12 buyout will be. A&M talked with Slive before Nebraska and Colorado left the Big 12. The SEC has revenue sharing, which the Big 12 didn't have. Kyle Field may be renovated in 2013.
Don't be floored if, within a year, happy to be at 14 teams.

Chefs knives are one of the most imperative implements needed when working in a busy kitchen environment. They are required to be easy to use and of course sharp, in order to cut vegetables, meat and any other necessary foods. With incorrect or faulty equipment, a chefs' job is only made harder and could possibly result in injury from blunt or imperfect kitchen knives. This needs to be avoided at all costs. The well-being of kitchen staff should be number one priority at all times.
At Russums we stock the largest range of professional chefs knives which come from some of the world's leading producers such as Global knives, Geisser, Smithfield knives, I.O Shen, Kasumi, Masahiro, Wusthof, Tojiro Senkou, Gustav Emil Ern and Sbatier Perrier. Each of these brands have been approved by us due to their obvious excellence and proven track record of providing the best service in a busy working kitchen. We can say with some confidence that you will find exactly what you need here amongst the many kitchen knives available to view and purchase.
Kasumi knives have always been a popular choice for chefs and kitchen assistants. Their blade is made up from 32 fine layers and remains exceedingly sharp. With the right user, this selection of chefs knives will cut food to instant perfection.
Many of the chefs knives found at Russums can be bought with different coloured handles which allow those working in the kitchen to differentiate between the specific knife to use for fish, meat and vegetables. From a health and safety aspect, this will avoid cross contamination of any possible bacteria from meats such as raw chicken. The colour code does not have to be limited to just knives. If this is a notion you are particularly keen on then it can be rolled out to chopping boards and many other pieces of catering equipment.
View the chefs knives we have available and make a purchase online today.
IMPORTANT – You must be 18 years or over to purchase knives from this site.

Going into this game, I was using this as a gauge of where we stand in the NFC. A win meant we are the at the head of the class, a close loss meant we can hang with anyone and just needed a few breaks to go our way, and a bad loss meant we have some work to do. Well after watching the first three quarters (I couldn't bear it anymore after that), I had to change my opinion. Although this loss looks bad on paper, it actually wasn't as bad as the score indicates. A few observations on plays that could have turned this game around for us.
1) On the first drive for the Saints, Corey Webster has a sure pick go in and out of his hands that could have at least taken the crowd out of the game initially and set the tone for the game. Instead it comes out of his hands and into Lance Moore's for a first down (it was third down at the time) and the drive resulted in a touchdown.
2) On the 2nd drive for the Giants, a wide open Steve Smith is overthrown by Eli for a sure touchdown. We hit that and again we are looking at building momentum and putting more than three on the board.
3) The officiating was terrible. This ends up being several situations, so they get their own category with it's own numbering
a) The kicker for the Saints, Morestead grabs at Hixon's shoulder to tackle him and pulls him down by the jersey. Great play...saved a touchdown. On our kickoff coverage, a linebacker takes a guy down the same way and there is a 15 yard horsecollar penalty (I was calling it horse$h1t, but whatever)
b) Later on that same drive, Corey Webster and Marques Colston feet get tangled and Webster is called for pass interference, but on the other side Roman Harper (#41) doesn't turn around on a play where either Manningham or Nicks was underthrown (third quarter), runs into the receiver before the ball gets there and no call is made.
c) The pick call on Hixon who was running a fly pattern and the defensive back (not sure who) ran into his path. Smith wasn't running an out where a pick would have been helpful...he ran an in. Now that play was an incomplete, but without the pick, illegal contact could have been called
d) When Eli fumbled and I think Scott Shanle (#55) picked it up and was tackled and he refumbled it but it was overruled, the ball clearly started to come out BEFORE his knee hit the ground. Boss recovered in the endzone and it would have been a touchback. Then we are in the locker room at worst at 27-17.
e) The phantom holding call on O'Hara that negated a touchdown to Brandon Jacobs. They only rushed three and I was watching everyone on the replay and NO ONE held anyone. I know when a play goes on like that, there is a good chance of that happening, but this was NOT the case.
Now I know Saints fans will argue that the pick Eli threw to Sharper was negated by a roughing the passer call, but that call was legit. I forget who hit him, but when they hit the quarterback and start raising their hands in the air like they didn't do anything, they usually have. On all my above questionable calls, the announcers (Troy Aikman usually hates the Giants) even said that they were calls that they disagreed with. It doesn't take away from the fact that Eli made a bad throw and Sharper made the play that he always makes against Eli, but the defender's roughing the passer negated what should have been a pick six.
4) Bradshaw picks up that block like he's supposed to and Eli has time to make a good throw - no interception.
5) We started throwing the ball deep way too early. In the second and third quarter we had at least 4 third and less than 5 that we went for it all. Get the first and try that play on first down or second and short. I think Gilbride might have given up on our gameplan too soon.
All in all, I took away a lot of positives:
1) The defense really stepped up in the second half and made the adjustments they needed to (how many of you were as relieved as I was to see them stop the Saints on their first drive of the second half). The offense didn't play as well in the second half as they did in the first and the defense got tired.
2) We moved the ball well when we weren't throwing deep and taking what the defense gave us. Eli was connecting on the short routes and the speed of the DBs for the Saints kept them from completing those deep passes.
3) This was only one game and if I remember correctly, how you do against an opponent in the regular season has NO bearing on the playoffs (see the Giants Super Bowl run of '07 beating Dallas, Green Bay, AND New England who all beat the Giants in the regular season...Dallas twice). We need to go 2-1 in the next three to continue our command of the NFC East.
Just for clarification, I am in NO WAY saying that the refs cost us the game, but I AM saying that certain things play out differently and we could have been right in it to the end, so although it looks like a blowout on paper, each teams play was much closer than anyone on SportsCenter will realize or talk about.

|Carlsberg export on tap - every time I go to this place I get hammered really quickly. Good thing in my book. Just as good on Friday as Saturday.
lennie384 - 21 May 2010 01:56
|I really like this place, I agree with the statement that it's one for a saturday night, I do wish it was ever so slightly bigger, head or the bar during peak hours and it's like playing sardines. Having lived in scandinavia I'm itching to try the food.

|I'm sure I paid knocking on for 4 quid for a pint of Carlsberg in here last night. I was so hammered though that it didn't seem that bad at the time
The_Rotter - 11 Jan 2008 10:25
|I liked it here, full of men with nordic beards, good quality drinks, worth visiting
TheGP - 29 Jun 2007 11:58
|One for a saturday this one. The place is infested with suits on a weekday and men trying to score with Scandinavian women.
Some imagination has gone into the place - some good cocktails (especially the berry ones), friendly bar staff and the approximate feel of a country cabin in Lapland.
So - as bars in this most diabolical of areas go, this is superior.

I usually watch UFC ppv in bars in Montreal or somewhere else when I'm on the road. Yesterday, for the first time I watched the fights at a bar that showed the ppv in French. I was curious to hear how the French announcing team would compare to Rogan-Goldie but you can't really hear much in a bar anyway.
However, after the main event, GSP went ring side and gave an interview for the French broadcast. That's usually nice since he's not as robotic than is English persona.
An interesting comment from the champ was that he felt Diaz was really slippery. He didn't want to comment further on the subject but the way he said it, it was obvious he found it suspect.
So maybe that will be something that will balance Jake Shields' accusation in the next few days. Get ready for Greasegate II ladies and gentlemen.

A Little Rock boy died Saturday night from an extremely rare form of Meningitis.
7-year-old Davian Briggs was diagnosed with Naegleria after a day of swimming. He was transported to Arkansas Children's Hospital where he remained in critical condition.
According to Dr. Jose Romero, Naegleria is bacteria normally found in warm fresh water and is more prevalent when temperatures are high. It enters through the nose and can cause a rare and severe brain infection. Currently, there is no known cure for those who come in contact with the bacteria.
Romero said, "Most infectious disease specialists will never see one of these in their lifetime and most general practitioners will never see one."
There have reportedly been just over 100 such cases nationwide in the past 50-years.

Back Home
Life Nomadic is far from over, but today I'm in the US, back in Austin. We've been away from Austin for seven months and have circled the globe entirely. We're already planning more trips, but armed with experience, we don't plan on being on the road for such long stretches in the future.
For me the trip was an epic journey, one that I will remember in great detail for the rest of my life. We could have very easily stayed in Austin and had very little change in my life, but we didn't.
Instead we walked on the canal in Panama. We sat with friends under the cherry blossom trees in Tokyo. We looked out from the tallest building in the world in Taipei. We drove ATVs through the dunes of Qatar. In France we walked through rooms of bones in an unauthorized jaunt through the Paris Catacombs. We ran with the bulls in Spain and lived to tell the story.
We stayed in Taiwan's only six star hotel and we slept on cardboard boxes in a freezing cold cave in Japan. We rode in the world class Queen Mary 2 across the Atlantic and we bailed water out of a handmade canoe in a remote bay in Panama. We went through the longest tunnel in the world in a Japanese bullet train and sat on the roof of a rickety falling apart train in Cambodia.
We visited friends living abroad, made a lot of new friends in many cities, and were visited by family and friends from the US. People in five different countries gave us beds to sleep in.
We learned phrases in a dozen languages and each developed a respectable level of proficiency in Spanish, French, Chinese, and Japanese.
All of these things are just scratching the surface of the experiences we had. And although they are some of the most grand sounding, the real joy came from walking down streets that I didn't know existed a month prior with the familiarity of my own neighborhood.
Saying that I'm thankful to have gone on this trip would be a gross understatement of the way I felt every time I looked out at a new wonder of the world and whispered to myself, "what a life!"
I'm grateful to have been able to afford the trip, for everything throughout history that has shaped the incredible places we went, for the technology that kept us comfortable and productive, and for having a friend like Todd to share the adventure with.
All that's left now is to top it next year... (well... and to catch up on stories from this trip that we haven't posted yet)

News: Max B Reaches Out For Fan Support, "$1 Per Fan Will Get Me Out Of Jail" [Audio]
Friday, Sep 18, 2009 5:30PM
After being sentenced to 75 years for murder, incarcerated rapper Charly "Max B" Wingate and his mother are requesting financial support from fans to help fund his legal defense.
A donation MySpace site has been created pleading fans for their support.
"Dear Max B Fans," a posted message reads. "We have been given a second chance to get Max B a new trial. Judge Carroll, the presiding judge over Max B's case, has given us 22 days to retain a new legal counsel for a new trial. The 75 years sentence will be set aside. If you want to Seriously Free Max B now is your chance to show your love & support. We are urgently asking all Max B fans to show your support by sending dollars to his Legal Defense Fund. If you are unable to send a donation at this time, we are asking that you kindly forward this message to all of your friends on MySpace. Lets spread the word & really Free Max B. Thanks, Miss Sharon Wingate & Family" Another message reads '$1 per fan will get me out of jail.' (Free Max B 140 MySpace)
Producer Dame Grease recently updated fans on the well-being of his associate and said an appeal was being put into place.
"The appeal is looking good. I actually now speak with him every other day, and he's good. He's good and that's what counts. I hate people when they talk about 'Yo Max music, I need mad music.' He's good and that's what counts. Family's good. Just working it, working the process. Gotta put the appeal in, got to put the dates in, gotta go through situations, many people gotta do what they gotta do. You know what I'm saying?" (Vlad TV)
Max's ex-girlfriend, Gina Conway, who had previously accepted a plea deal in the case, was sentenced in early September.
The ex-girlfriend of rap artist Max B has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for her role in a deadly robbery at a northern New Jersey hotel. Gina Conway was sentenced Friday, one day after Max B , whose real name is Charly Wingate , was ordered to serve 75 years and his stepbrother, Kelvin Leerdam, received a life term plus 35 years for their roles in the September 2006 robbery in Fort Lee. Prosecutors said they and Conway , who took a plea deal and testified against the pair , plotted to rob two men she had recently met. (The Associated Press)
Both Max and his step brother were handed their sentences in early September.
Both Wingate and Leerdam looked resigned when Superior Court Judge Harry G. Carroll sentenced them in Hackensack, New Jersey. Wingate said he was not happy with his attorney, Gerald Saluti, and fired him during the hearing just before he received his sentence. Witnesses during trial testified that [the victims] David Taylor and his friend, Allan Plowden, were seen in Harlem a few days before the robbery, driving expensive cars and showing off a lot of cash. Leerdam's attorney, Jennifer Bonjean, said her client deserved some leniency because he was only 21 at the time of the incident. Carroll, however, handed out a stiff sentence, saying Leerdam took a firearm with him to the hotel "and did not hesitate to use it." (North Jersey News)

I wondered how to make more sense of some of the statistics we see when people try to compare teams that don't play each other. I thought it would be interesting to see how a team did compared to what that team's opponents averaged. What I mean is that if a team averages 150 rushing yards a game against teams that average giving up 100 rushing yards a game, that is more impressive than averaging 175 yards rushing a game against teams that average giving up 200 yards rushing a game. So, anyway, I did a first cut at a spreadsheet that compares yards passing, yards rushing and points for both offense and defense for some of the top teams. I found the results interesting. USC's defense is more impressive than I thought it would be. I plan to make some changes to how I calculate the values to make it easier to work with, but I posted what I have so far. Please reply if you have any questions or comments.

I'm working on getting myself banned/suspended from Rift by submitting accurate but pointedly put feedback with a sprinkling of vulgarity on top.
Let's see just how bad they want to keep customers.
(Account expires on the 3rd of November anyway)
Sprinklings of vulgarity won't get you a ban, I promise. All of my prior feedback has been laced in bitter hatred and sharp words. It takes a special kind of person to WANT to see that feedback, and I doubt it even phases them.

I am compelled to share with your readers the evidence I have uncovered while doing research into my own case after I was framed by corrupt guards and convicted of murder at Folsom Prison in 1984. I have uncovered the real intentions behind the implementation of the deadly "integrated yard policy" and its bloody history at Folsom Prison.
September 21, 2013
The reality right now is that Sen. Loni Hancock and Assemblymember Tom Ammiano have basically said that there has to be change. Now the people have to get behind these two politicians and make sure that they are empowered to make that change possible: Relieve prisoners of their on-going suffering inside these solitary confinement units that serve no purpose whatsoever.
September 2, 2013
How long must we continue to suffer? On Aug. 23, 2013, early in the morning, Pelican Bay State Prison Ad Seg was emptied out and placed on two buses. Every individual on the buses had been on the hunger strike since July 8, 2013, and there was not one medical staffperson on those buses. We do not care about how much worse our conditions get because the pain and suffering from not eating trumps it all.
August 30, 2013
Today Sen. Loni Hancock and Assemblymember Tom Ammiano announced that they will hold public hearings on the conditions in California prisons that have led to the inmate hunger strike, now in its 54th day. They anticipate that hearings may begin as early as this fall and continue into next year. The two legislators, chairs of the Senate and Assembly Committees on Public Safety, urged an immediate end to the hunger strike so that energy and attention can be focused on the issues that have been raised.
January 27, 2013
The call for racial peace came from Pelican Bay SHU – the hole. It was a brave, human and needed call for racial harmony. Since I'm a believer in peace and realness – one people, one race – I must echo their cry and add my voice to the chorus. I think it is a call all peace groups around the world, inside and outside of prisons, would welcome.

RUGBY: Bath ring changes for Irish trip
12:04pm Friday 21st March 2014 in Sport
BATH have made nine changes to the starting line-up for tomorrow's Aviva Premiership trip to London Irish.
Stuart Hooper leads a much-changed side from that beaten in the LV= Cup semi final by Exeter Chiefs two weeks ago, with the returning Dave Attwood his partner in the second row.
Also back from international duty are Paul James and David Wilson, who scrum down either side of Ross Batty at hooker.
Francois Louw is named at openside flanker, with Matt Garvey and Leroy Houston completing the pack at blindside and number eight.
George Ford, fresh from his first England cap, starts at fly-half with Peter Stringer joining him in the half-backs.
Kyle Eastmond comes back into the midfield alongside Ollie Devoto, as Semesa Rokoduguni and Anthony Watson start out wide on the wings and Nick Abendanon provides the threat from full=back.
Bath: 15. Nick Abendanon, 14. Anthony Watson, 13. Ollie Devoto, 12. Kyle Eastmond, 11. Semesa Rokoduguni, 10. George Ford, 9. Peter Stringer, 1. Paul James, 2. Ross Batty, 3. David Wilson, 4. Stuart Hooper (captain), 5. Dave Attwood, 6. Matt Garvey, 7. Francois Louw, 8. Leroy Houston.

Man From Purdy Gets Prison Time For Deadly Crash
OZARK, Mo. (AP) - A southwest Missouri man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for a drunken driving crash that killed a 10-year-old girl.
Twenty-eight-year-old Gregory Swaffar, of Purdy, pleaded guilty last month to second-degree murder and two counts of second-degree assault.
KYTV reports a Christian County judge sentenced Swaffar on Wednesday to 20 years on the murder charge and five years on the assault charges. The terms will run concurrently.
Swaffar admitted he was drunk when he drove his truck head-on into another vehicle on Missouri 37 in February 2011. The crash in Barry County killed Melissa Kief, of Washburn, and seriously injured her father and another passenger.
The case was handled in Christian County on a change of venue.

Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Joe Blanton powered through the Braves lineup for his first shutout in nearly five years, and the Phillies breezed to a 4-0 win on Thursday afternoon to escape Atlanta with a series victory.
The teams enjoyed little rest after a wild Wednesday night, when the Braves got a walk-off homer in the 11th inning from Chipper Jones for a 15-13 win.
That game took four hours, but Blanton (3-3) made sure this one went much quicker with his best outing in a Phillies uniform.
The 31-year-old righty struck out six, gave up just three hits -- all singles -- and threw 67 of his 88 pitches for strikes without issuing a walk, pushing the game along to a two-hour finish.
"Honestly, I just tried to use last night's game to my advantage a little bit," he said. "Hopefully maybe they're coming out a touch lethargic. I don't know if that was the case or not. I had some great plays behind me."
It was Blanton's first shutout since June 2, 2007, with Oakland and his first complete game since July 3 of the same year. It was the seventh complete game and third shutout of his career.
The Phillies had nine hits, including a solo homer from Laynce Nix and a two- run blast from Shane Victorino, to win two of three in the series.
Braves starter Randall Delgado (2-3) went eight innings, giving up two runs on six hits, but lost his third straight start. He struck out five.
Braves catcher David Ross, who had one of Atlanta's three hits, said Blanton kept the Braves off-balance.
"He threw a lot of strikes. We hit a lot of balls hard right at guys," said Ross. "It's just one of those games."
Meanwhile, Philadelphia got the only run it needed in the first inning.
Jimmy Rollins led off the game with a single, went to third on Juan Pierre's bunt hit and Victorino's fly out and scored on Hunter Pence's sac fly.
Freddie Freeman's single in the first and Ross' hit in the fifth counted for the only Braves base runners in the first eight innings.
Meanwhile, Nix knocked a 2-1 breaking pitch over the wall in right-center field in the seventh inning for his second homer of the season and Victorino hit his fifth off Livan Hernandez in the ninth for two insurance runs.
Blanton gave up a one-out single to Michael Bourn in the ninth, but he was doubled up on Martin Prado's line drive to second baseman Freddy Galvis to end the game.
The Phillies, who have won three of their last four, will continue a six-game road trip with the opener of a weekend series in Washington on Friday...The Braves went 3-4 on a seven-game homestand and will start a nine-game road trip Friday in Colorado.

My eyes can barely handle the sheer beauty
Hello fellow phinsiders! While we await news of Peyton I'm going to be losing my mind simply put because regardless of anything the simple fact that PEYTON MANNING could wear aqua is just really cool.
We havent seen a hall of fame QB wearing aqua since 1999. Wouldn't it be nice to see, even for just one game?
But I digress.
Anyways, I'm off work tomorrow and will cling to this site and other sports sites like finhead clings to his hello kitty blanket each night so I thought Id introduce a question here that I saw posed on facebook (via uniwatchblog.com). I got a ton of responses on facebook and so I think yall will enjoy this question as well
*Side note, this question is sports, and not phins related so I hope our wonderful coaching staff here at the Phinsider lets this slide :)
So here it is:
If you had to choose the most ICONIC jersey number worn by AT LEAST three different players in a single city (across any major sports franchise) what would it be?
For example, my entry is my hometown of Houston and #34. Which was worn by Hakeem Olajuwon (rockets) , Nolan Ryan (ASTROS), and Earl Cambell (oilers)
I hope yall enjoy and it helps makes the work day tomorrow go faster.

St. Peter's exploded for a 15-0 run that bridged the first two quarters and rode the play of Glenn Sanabria and Latrell Curtis to a 61-29 CHSAA AA victory over All Hallows on Sunday.
Sanabria (16 points, six rebounds, five steals, three assists), Curtis (13 points, five rebounds, four assists) and Reilly Walsh (eight points) led the way offensively for the Eagles, who improved to 13-2 overall and 3-2 in CHSAA play with league games remaining against Iona Prep (Feb. 1) and Cardinal Hayes (Feb. 10).
The Eagles trailed 6-2 early, but were jump-started by their swarming, man-to-man defense, which ignited a 15-0 run that bridged the first and second quarters.
In fact, St. Peter's led 9-6 after one quarter, but, behind Sanabria (11 points), Jamir Ferebee (seven points), Curtis (six points) and Walsh (six points), the Eagles took total control by outscoring the Gaels 25-6 in the second stanza for a commanding 34-12 lead and they never looked back.
"Our defense really got us going toward and I think it really (deflated them),'' said SP assistant coach Tom McNamara, who said Walsh (six rebounds), David Adeoso (six rebounds, two blocks) and Tyler Peana (five rebounds, two blocks, two steals) also gave the Eagles a boost on the defensive end. "(All Hallows is) young and our defensive pressure really took them out.''
St. Peter's, which honored the 1983 CHSAA Intersectional championship team at halftime of the varsity game, will visit McKee/Staten Island Tech on Friday.

Thanks to our spies across the pond...
Here are a few photos from the Oxford set of British actor/writer/director/producer Amma Asante's (in photo above-left) period drama about the trials and tribulations of a mixed-race girl titled Belle, which stars: Gugu Mbatha-Raw (in photo above-right), Miranda Richardson, Tom Wilkinson, Sarah Gadon, Sam Claflin, and Matthew Goode.
Mbatha-Raw is of course playing the lead role, Belle.
The project, which was developed and supported by the British Film Institute, was one of many being shopped to buyers at Cannes in May this year, when we last wrote about it. Bankside Films, the UK-based international film sales company repping the film at Cannes, called it a "hot property."
The project, budgeted at £6.5 million ($10.1 million), also co-stars Tom Felton (from the Harry Potter movies), Sam Reid (playing Belle's love interest), James Norton and Penelope Wilton (Downton Abbey).
The film is being produced by Damian Jones (The Iron Lady). Executive producers are Steve Christian, Julie Goldstein, Ivan Dunleavy, Steve Norris, Phil Hunt and Compton Ross.
The story takes place in the 1780s, and follows a mixed-race girl, adopted into an aristocratic family, who faces class and color prejudices. As she blossoms into a young woman, she develops a relationship with a vicar's son who is an advocate for slave emancipation.
The film is based on a true story - specifically, the true story of Dido Belle, a mixed-race woman raised as an aristocrat in 18th-century England.
Her full name was Dido Elizabeth Belle, born 1761, died 1804; she was the illegitimate daughter of John Lindsay (a white British Naval officer) and an African slave woman known only as Belle.
This will be Amma Asante's second feature; her feature debut was a 2004 gritty and compelling South Wales-set racism drama titled A Way Of Life, which she also wrote. And for her work on that film, she was blessed with the BAFTA's (the british equivalent of the Oscars) Carl Foreman Award for best debut by a British filmmaker, as well as being named The Times Breakthrough Artist Of The Year.
We'll continue to watch Belle, so any developments will be reported here.
It's expected to be delivered in spring 2013.
In the meantime, check out the on-set photos.

As human populations grow, so do the resource demands imposed on ecosystems and the impacts of our global footprint. Many people have been plagued with the misconception that these ecosystem services are free, invulnerable and infinitely available. However, the impacts of anthropogenic use and abuse are becoming evermore apparent – air and water quality are increasingly compromised, oceans are being over-fished, pests and diseases are extending beyond their historical boundaries, deforestation is eliminating flood control around human settlements. It has been reported that approximately 40-50% of Earth's ice-free land surface has been heavily transformed or degraded by anthropogenic activities, 66% of marine fisheries are either overexploited or at their limit, atmospheric CO2 has increased more than 30% since the advent of industrialization, and nearly 25% of Earth's bird species have gone extinct in the last two thousand years . Consequently, society is coming to realize that ecosystem services are not only threatened and limited, but that the pressure to evaluate trade-offs between immediate and long-term human needs is urgent. To help inform decision-makers, economic value is increasingly associated with many ecosystem services and often based on the cost of replacement with anthropogenically-driven alternatives. The on-going challenge of prescribing economic value to nature is prompting transdisciplinary shifts in how we recognize and manage the environment, social responsibility, business opportunities, and our future as a species.
Modern expansions of the ecosystem services concept have come to encompass socio-economic and conservation objectives, which are discussed below. For a more complete history of the concepts and terminology surrounding ecosystem services, see Daily (1997).
Experts currently recognize five categories of ecosystem services. The following lists represent samples of each:
The complexity of Earth's ecosystems poses a challenge for scientists as they try to understand how relationships are interwoven among organisms, processes and their surroundings. As it relates to human ecology, a suggested research agenda for the study of ecosystem services includes the following steps:
Recently, a technique has been developed to improve and standardize the evaluation of ESP functionality by quantifying the relative importance of different species in terms of their efficiency and abundance. Such parameters provide indications of how species respond to changes in the environment (i.e. predators, resource availability, climate) and are useful for identifying species that are disproportionately important at providing ecosystem services. However, a critical drawback is that the technique does not account for the effects of interactions, which are often both complex and fundamental in maintaining an ecosystem and can involve species that are not readily detected as a priority. Even so, estimating the functional structure of an ecosystem and combining it with information about individual species traits can help us understand the resilience of an ecosystem amidst environmental change.
Many ecologists also believe that the provision of ecosystem services can be stabilized with biodiversity. Increasing biodiversity also benefits the variety of ecosystem services available to society. Understanding the relationship between biodiversity and an ecosystem's stability is essential to the management of natural resources and their services.
Several experiments have tested these hypotheses in both the field and the lab. In ECOTRON, a laboratory in the UK where many of the biotic and abiotic factors of nature can be simulated, studies have focused on the effects of earthworms and symbiotic bacteria on plant roots. These laboratory experiments seem to favor the rivet hypothesis. However, a study on grasslands at Cedar Creek Reserve in Minnesota seems to support the redundancy hypothesis, as have many other field studies.
There is an extensive disparity between the actual and perceived values of ecosystem services. The reasons for such incongruence are probably related to society's generally tardy and limited acknowledgment of our interrelatedness with the natural environment. Although environmental awareness is rapidly improving in our contemporary world, ecosystem capital and its flow are still poorly understood, threats continue to impose, and we suffer from the so-called 'tragedy of the commons'. Many efforts to inform decision-makers of current versus future costs and benefits now involve organizing and translating scientific knowledge to economics, which articulate the consequences of our choices in comparable units of impact on human well-being. An especially challenging aspect of this process is that interpreting ecological information collected from one spatial-temporal scale does not necessarily mean it can be applied at another; understanding the dynamics of ecological processes relative to ecosystem services is essential in aiding economic decisions. Weighting factors such as a service's irreplaceability or bundled services can also allocate economic value such that goal attainment becomes more efficient.
The economic valuation of ecosystem services also involves social communication and information, areas that remain particularly challenging and are the focus of many researchers. In general, the idea is that although individuals make decisions for any variety of reasons, trends reveal the aggregative preferences of a society, from which the economic value of services can be inferred and assigned. The six major methods for valuing ecosystem services in monetary terms include :
Although monetary pricing continues with respect to the valuation of ecosystem services, the challenges in policy implementation and management are enormous. The administration of common pool resources is a subject of extensive academic pursuit. From defining the problems to finding solutions that can be applied in practical and sustainable ways, there is much to overcome. Considering options must balance present and future human needs, and decision-makers must frequently work from valid but incomplete information. Existing legal policies are often considered insufficient since they typically pertain to human health-based standards that are mismatched with necessary means to protect ecosystem health and services. To improve the information available, one suggestion has involved the implementation of an Ecosystem Services Framework (ESF), which integrates the biophysical and socio-economic dimensions of protecting the environment and is designed to guide institutions through multidisciplinary information and jargon, helping to direct strategic choices.
Novel and expedient methods are needed to deal with managing Earth's ecosystem services. Local to regional collective management efforts might be considered appropriate for services like crop pollination or resources like water. Another approach that has become increasingly popular over the last decade is the marketing of ecosystem services protection. Payment and trading of services is an emerging world-wide small-scale solution where one can acquire credits for activities such as sponsoring the protection of carbon sequestration sources or the restoration of ecosystem service providers. In some cases, banks for handling such credits have been established and conservation companies have even gone public on stock exchanges, defining an evermore parallel link with economic endeavors and opportunities for tying into social perceptions. However, concerns for such global transactions include inconsistent compensation for services or resources sacrificed elsewhere and misconceived warrants for irresponsible use. Another approach has been focused on protecting ecosystem service 'hotspots'. Recognition that the conservation of many ecosystem services aligns with more traditional conservation goals (i.e. biodiversity) has led to the suggested merging of objectives for maximizing their mutual success. This may be particularly strategic when employing networks that permit the flow of services across landscapes, and might also facilitate securing the financial means to protect services through a diversification of investors.

The rumors of a design overhaul of Gary Williams Court were confirmed a few months ago, when Pe'Shon Howard tweeted about the court's new look. But what that new look was ... well, we were left to guess. Would the old logos be staying? New Terrafont everything? SHELLMET-ESQUE TURTLE PRINT OVERLAY? Possibilities abounded.
Well, thanks to Alex Steckroth (@asteckterp; go give him a follow), we now do know what the court will look like - and, thankfully, Terraprint is nowhere to be found. Terrafont, though, is everywhere, including replacing the classy "Flag M" logo at midcourt. The athletic department is officially going all in with this new Terrafont/squished-flag "Maryland" look, it looks like.
Two more looks post-jump, again via @asteckterp.
I wasn't sold initially, but after looking it over a bit more, I'm okay with the changes. The old court needed a bit of an overhaul, and the updates seem minor and tasteful. Nothing overly ambitious going on. The Terrafont on the baselines is perfect and nice for branding, but the question people will have is about replacing the iconic old center court logo with the news squashed-flag look that Maryland's pushing hard.
It's not a terrible looking logo, and with Maryland sticking it everywhere, it'll certainly be recognizable as Maryland instantly. (Not least because it actually says Maryland.) I suppose that's okay, though perhaps the new Terrafont flag M would've been a nice comprimise.
Now, if we could just get Gary to update his signature to anything that doesn't look like "Gay Williams."

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in San Diego County decreased Sunday for the 25th consecutive day, falling six-tenths of a cent to $4.083.
The average price has dropped 21.1 cents over the past 25 days and is 6.1 cents less than one week ago, 21 cents lower than last month and 26.1 cents below what it was one year ago, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.
The average price had risen 28 of the 30 days preceding the streak of decreases, increasing 56.7 cents over that span.
The dropping prices are the result of most California refineries concluding scheduled maintenance without experiencing any major incidents before the switch to summer-blend production, leaving adequate gasoline supplies, according to Jeffrey Spring of the Automobile Club of Southern California.

19 June 2012 at 3:22am Last edited: 19 June 2012 3:26am
playing arround with the SS3 translateable module from github ... I can't create new translations for pages.
on the "translations" tab is the button "create". but nothing happens if I click the button.
and if I want switch the language (in backend, above sitetree) this message appears:
The action 'LangForm' does not exist in class CMSPagesController
I think SS3 would'nd be the best choise for a new multilanguage site?
any ideas?

Ingo has just moved all the tickets for translatable to the modules github page. It requires a developer to take a look at it for 3.0 compatibility (like most modules!).

i was thinking to create a new website with ss3 rc2.
multi language will be one of the main features of the site.
do you recommend to wait then for the final release?
also it might be hard with missing documentation.
many things might have changed right?
thx and greetz,

Hello. This issue still doesn't seem to be fixed 3 months later. Translable 1.0.0-30 is not working at all with SilverStripe-cms-v3.0.2. The issues I experience consist of the following:
1. In admin/pages/?locale=en_US, after selecting different language and pressing GO I receive the message "The action 'LangForm' does not exist in class CMSPagesController"
2. Create button doesn't work at all, when trying to create new translation in Translation tab.
Am I doing something wrong? SilverStripe looks good for my future projects but i18n is crucial for all of it. Should I wait, code/configure or leave disappointed?

You have two options...
1) use 2.4.7 which has translatable out of the box and is fully documented etc. <-- my choice/recomendation
2) fix some of the https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-translatable/issues with the "new" module.
3) leave disappointed
Personally I feel this is a pretty poor show from silverstipe to take away core functionality like this and then leave it unmaintained for months. But then it is all free and the developer can fix it. this and several more issues are why I have not moved to SS3 yet the "cost" of this new "free" version is not low enough yet.

I choose swaiba's option 1 and add an option 4) Stay disappointed until it's fixed.
Hopefully someone will take it onboard. If not, without a working Translateable module, or an affordable other option, there'll never be an upgrade happening here.

Just out of curiosity, is there any progress on making the module compatible for SS 3.0?

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Lubbock fire crews utilized Weymouth Hall at Texas Tech this week to train for high rise fires.
Wednesday, crews simulated a fire on the top floor that had reached the roof, and a malfunction with the elevators meant crews had to take the stairs all the way to the top to battle the blaze.
Division Chief Steve Odorizzi says physical fitness is very important to the team, even when they're not in a high rise. "Just any type of fire fighting is a very labor intensive activity, and studies have proven just the fact that you respond to a fire, your chance of a heart attack can increase 200 times," Odorizzi said.
The fire department tries to do high rise exercises every two to three years.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This very good and easily overlooked route makes a great finish to the day. Begin up a South Platte slab on crystal nubs past 3 bolts to a ramp/ledge. The Gastonian branches to the right here (the left hand route is a 10a).
This is on the far left side, the 2nd line of bolts from the left. Just after you step down around a tree near the wall using some big rocks. It is vegetated at the base. The route begins with a couple bolts up a dark grey slab.
Bolts, maybe 10 or so. Bring 12 plus anchor draws.

The Atlanta Falcons have released backup quarterback Chris Redman and signed McCown.||||||| McCown spent the past three seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, making two starts among his eight appearances. He worked with Dirk Koetter, who is now the Falcons' offensive coordinator, which undoubtedly contributed to the decision to bring in a new No. 2 behind starter Matt Ryan on Tuesday.
Jags coach Jack Del Rio will turn the starting job over to Luke McCown, who outplayed David Garrard and rookie Blaine Gabbert in the preseason.||||||| McCown completed 12 of 18 passes for 133 yards, with two touchdowns, no interceptions and no sacks.

Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
Maiko XXX is home to Maiko Pictures hardcore Japanese content includes downloadable HD videos and photo galleries. This site is the company's hub and while they do have other sites for specific niches (Maiko Teens, Maiko Cream Pies, Maiko MILFs) those sites have the same content as Maiko XXX so essentially it's one large member's area with different niche sections. The hardcore is uncensored without the blurring that's often found on Japanese movies.
Original Maiko Japanese Content, Uncensored Hardcore.
This Maiko Studio collection is a fun mix of Japanese porn that does not have any blurring/censoring of the hardcore. That's a nice plus for a Japanese collection. The models are cute/sexy Japanese models ranging from young adult to milfs and there's full on hardcore girl/guy banging and sometimes toys. A lot of creampies are in the mix and I didn't see any condoms used. Content is organized by scene with the video as the main component and then a dedicated photo gallery also available for the shoot.
HD MP4 Files, Good Video & Photo Download/Viewing Options.
These guys promote HD movies on the guest tour so I went in and paid close attention when checking in on that. They do have all scenes with MP4 high-def at 1280x720 2000k which look good although the specs are bottom-end when we're talking about HD. They also have WMV and MPG files along with in-browser Flash streaming. The photos are 1600x1060 sharp high-res with both online images and zips.
Decent Sized Archive, Steady Updates, Clear Content Dates.
At the time of this review the total archive is approaching a few hundred total videos which average around 45-60 minutes on average. For a studio Japanese asian collection with no censoring that's a nice sized archive. They do add new scenes every couple days and all content is date-stamped.
Other Good Stuff:
Just One Video Quality Level for Each Format.
These guys use the different formats for the different quality levels. They have one level for each so there's certainly room for more choices by having multiple levels for each format. The Flash streaming player is medium to small sized and they don't have dedicated mobile files. Overall the options are solid as I mentioned in my Pros section but there are ways for them to make them more user-friendly.
No Model Details Provided, Sparse Scene Info.
The model index is a semi-useful tool in that it's another way to browse the content however they don't use it to provide any details about the performers. It just simply links thru to the appearances. I also ran into a few that were missing preview photos so the completeness of the model index for a studio site like this wasn%u2019t up to the level I was expecting. Also, as a studio I would think these scenes are also available in full-movies or DVDs however they don't give any info about that.
Minor Negatives:
A solid collection of Japanese hardcore without any blurring or censoring.
Maiko XXX has a number of things that add up to make it a quality site. They have hundreds of scenes with hardcore banging and unlike a lot of other Japanese porn there isn't any of the blurring or censoring which really helps the entertainment value in my opinion. The video options are solid with a nominal HD level available and they are updating steadily. There are a few ways they could improve things in terms of increasing the movie options and fine-tuning the model index but overall it's a nice site for those who are into Japanese asian porn.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) -- Qualifying for the Formula One season opener will be completed Sunday after a series of rain delays and darkness prevented the running of second and third sessions Saturday.
A wet first session of qualifying was completed after a half-hour delay, but a succession of delays of Q2 meant it was becoming too dark to hold the remaining sessions.
Both qualifying and race at the Australian Grand Prix begin at 5 p.m. local time to satisfy European television audiences.
Mercedes' Nico Rosberg was fastest in Q1 ahead of Ferrari's Fernando Alonso and Lotus' Romain Grosjean. Among the six drivers eliminated in the session was Williams driver Pastor Maldonado.
Race stewards had the option of basing the grid on the Q1 times or completing qualifying Sunday, and chose the latter. Qualifying on Sunday is unusual but not unprecedented, with the grids for both the 2004 and 2010 Japanese Grands Prix decided on race day due to bad weather on the preceding Saturday.
