Having heard the "pundits" make fun of us for hiring Howland Lite, I did some reading on Allford.
I need someone to talk me down -- there are too many data points that look similar.
1. Allford is called "arrogant". Howland is stubborn. May be a matter of semantics -- but I'm hoping Allford listens to others and is willing to adjust when the things he wants to do are not working. Anyone know?
2. Allford coaches similar schemes to Howland -- especially his use of Man D. Please, someone tell me that he teaches and employs zones when the talent cannot play man. We will not have the players to play Man next year. I love our kids but, with the exception of Powell, we don't have the speed or ability to play man.
On O, they say Allford plays a "patterned" or "motion" O. That's what some call Howland's.
Truth is, I don't care what we play so long as we play it well and win with it. But, this is hardly the "up tempo" the failure promised us.
3. CA recruiting: I don't count Drew Gordon as a "recruit". Was Williams legit? I don't feel like Allford has the pipeline that other coaches had in CA.
National Recruiting: Howland screwed himself by chasing AAU/Shoe Kids -- one and dones who would not be here long enough to benefit the school.
What's Allford's history with the shoe kids? With AAU recruits?
Along this line, I'm troubled that the failure has mentioned keeping our current tie to the AAU scene. I'm hoping Allford won't let the failure pick his coaching staff. And, I hope he looks for long term players 3 and 4 year kids with occasional 1 year guys.
4. Respecting His Players: This seems to be an area where Allford shines. I was worried that his mentor was one of the biggest assholes in sport -- Knight. But, it seems that he knows what it's like playing for an asshole and does not want to be one.
5. Discipline: The coddling and defending of his player who was charged with a sexual assault is behavior that belongs at sc, not here. It happened 10 years ago. I'm hoping he's grown past that? Anyone know how clean his program has been? Whether his kids have stolen computers from classmates or failed drug tests?
6. Bench Coaches: Many track the decline of our program to the departure of our original bench coaches -- especially Keating. What kind of people are on Allford's bench?
So, is this a lite, maybe nicer version of what we had? Or, is there reason to believe that Allford will bring the change we've needed for the past several years?

First up, EW reports that "30 Rock," which finally returns for its sixth season on Thursday, will feature guest appearances from Emma Stone, 'SNL' vet Andy Samberg, and, um, Nick Cannon, in an episode scheduled to air in two weeks. It's not entirely surprising, given that the show has featured the likes of Matt Damon and Robert DeNiro in guest spots in the past, but brilliantly, the stars will be parodying the recent string of dreadful holiday-themed rom-coms, appearing in a movie trailer within the show for "Martin Luther King Day," a film allegedly from the producers of "Valentine's Day" and "New Year's Eve." Good work, Tina Fey & co.
EW also bring news that happily omnipresent "Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston (who'll feature in six films in 2012, including "Argo," "Rock of Ages" and "Total Recall," after four in 2011) won't just be featuring in his hit AMC series this year. The actor has also signed up to lend his voice to the two-part finale of FX's incredibly brilliant animated spy spoof "Archer," which returns next week. Cranston, who joins upcoming guest stars like Burt Reynolds and Michael Rooker, will play Commander Drake, an earnest astronaut trying to stop a mutiny on the International Space Station, with H. Jon Benjamin's incompetent, hard-drinking, womanizing secret agent undoubtedly proving to be no help at all.
It's not all good news, though. Showtime premiered the much-hyped Don Cheadle/Kristin Bell comedy "House of Lies" on Sunday, and the show proved to be an insufferably smug, laugh-free disappointment. And maybe one that Paul Bettany apparently saw. The 'Master & Commander' star had signed up some time ago to appear in the network's series "Masters of Sex," a period drama that follows the lives of William Masters and Virginia Johnson, who were pioneering sex researchers in the 1960s. However, Deadline report that Bettany has bailed on the pilot, which is set to be directed by "Shakespeare In Love" helmer John Madden.
Of course, Bettany likely didn't do it because of the quality of "House of Lies" -- he's traditionally a little flighty when it comes to his roles, having famously turned down the lead in "The King's Speech," among others. Let's hope that he's not taking another dreadful Screen Gems actioner instead, however. Showtime are moving ahead with the series nevertheless, courting Lizzy Caplan for the female lead at present.

Oliver, I enjoyed " House of Lies " - not great , but not awful either. I concur about " Archer", it is easily my most favorite animated tv program of all time. The voice work , clever dialogue, and the scripts are all brilliant.
Brad Milne | January 11, 2012 10:53 AM
I am looking forward to everything you mentioned above except for any news about 30 Rock since it is hardly ever funny anymore, and just a parade of guest stars. Also it is taking Community's time slot which is so depressing it hurts since Community is funny.

If you remember Mike Babcock's keys to success from a little under a month ago, he was extremely adamant about how Jimmy Howard needed to get on a roll if the Wings had any shot of winning games. After a few months of injury, mediocrity, and frustration, Jimmy Howard has finally shown the National Hockey League that he has come to play.
In the last five games, Jimmy Howard is 3-2-0, having given up a mere nine goals on 193 shots. Dissecting that further, Jimmy Howard has a 1.8 GAA and a .953 SV% while the Wings have surrendered an average of 38.6 shots against over the last week and a half while he was in goal.
That's pretty incredible.
The Syracuse, New York native has been very strong since injury, as a matter of fact, and it is not only showing in his game, but also in the fact that it is bleeding into the way the team plays in front of him. Well, maybe not.
Jimmy Howard has .935 save % in 7 outings (3-3-1) since return from injury. Over 35 shots faced/game. #Wings not doing him many favors.
— Pete Jensen (@NHLJensen) January 19, 2014
Regardless, the fact that Jimmy Howard is playing well is a good sign for the Wings. A younger defensive core is going to make mistakes, and a heavily injury-battered team (which at times has been icing a lineup equivalent to a team that is below the cap floor) is not going to score many goals. As a matter of fact, not including the "shootout tally," the Red Wings have averaged 2.2 goals over their last five.
Perhaps the most memorable thing that happened to Jimmy in the last week and a half, however, came last night against the Los Angeles Kings.

— Dan Mannes (@danmannes) January 19, 2014
Long story short, Jimmy took one too many hits and got a bit tired of getting run into by the royal flush of Kings in the crease.
Fired up? Check. Good short term performance? Check. Will he continue to play the way he has been playing? Yes, but it's not necessarily the answer you're going to want to hear.
For starters, goalies are wildly unpredictable.
Goalies are a strange bunch when it comes to their performance and they're always highly unpredictable no matter how established they are, no matter how much talent they have, and no matter what they've previously done in their career. It's not uncommon for players with no history of success to blossom in their late 20s or early 30s with All-Star level performances, while supposed franchise goalies can completely fall off the map.
We saw this in goaltenders like Tim Thomas, Jonathan Quick, Craig Anderson, and even Cory Schneider. Some may say that we're watching Ben Bishop join this category as we speak, but the jury is still up on that one. (Ignore that all of these goaltenders happen to be American.)
Jimmy Howard always had promise, and as a graduate of the USNTDP, has always come with some sort of guaranteed success at the professional level. It took several retirements and trades before Jimmy Howard was fully promoted to starter at the age of 24, and he has had pretty solid numbers in three of his four seasons as the Red Wings' number one.
As the Red Wings continue to surrender more and more shots per game, one wonders whether or not the save percentage that Jimmy has been posting is sustainable. The obvious answer is no, but what we can expect for the rest of the season is the same thing that Jimmy has done throughout his short career: give his team a good chance to win every night.
It's the cliched yet go-to answer for every single general manager and television analyst who talks about a goaltender's contract.
The above chart shows Jimmy Howard's career save percentage. As we can see, it's pretty clear that Howard is streaky, like most goaltenders. Streaky goalies still win games and put up high numbers; with the Wings in flux right now, fans want to hear the magical answer that Jimmy's hot streak has started and it won't let up. Historically, even with a few hiccups, Jimmy heats up usually around the end of the season towards the latter part of his starts, so he is heating up early this year. A win in January comes out to the same point value as a win in April. The Red Wings have to win, though, and winning comes in the form of scoring goals.
Here is the ugly news: the goalie cannot score goals, nor can he skate the puck up the ice.
The Red Wings have always been the team that was the crown jewel of advanced statisticians in the way they both moved the puck and held onto it, creating scoring chance after scoring chance. The fact is, the Red Wings have had garbage possession numbers largely based on the fact that too many key players are missing. The Red Wings won't solve anything until they find a way to get healthy, and that's a given.
What is frightening, however, is how low these numbers have been over the last few weeks.
In terms of the eyeball test, Jimmy Howard is facing quality changes against him and he's performing well in sometimes dire situations. The situation in Detroit is horrid, with the Wings amassing absolutely awful possession numbers relative to what we are used to seeing.
For those new in town to advanced statistics, feel free to check out ExtraSkater. For the purpose of not confusing the hell out of people who don't care, we're going to take a brief look at what this chart means. The line in the middle represents 50%, the de facto possession standard.
Starting from the 28 of December, two days before Howard's return from injury, the Red Wings have been a highly below average team, as shown in the graph. Specifically at 5v5 Fenwick-close, the Wings have had a 45.8%, 54.9%, 41.3%, 35.8%, 42.7%, and a 55.9% with Jimmy in net over his last seven. In terms of Corsi-for, which brings shot attempts into play, the Red wings have been their worst all season since Jimmy has been back from injury.
When a team is not carrying the puck, it is losing puck battles and giving possession to the other team. The Wings are getting beaten at their own game, simply because they are not healthy enough. When the other team is controlling the puck as much as we have seen over the last few games, the results tend to be ugly. Shots for are a dependent variable on possession. If you don't have the puck, you don't take shots and therefore can't score. This can be seen in Toronto's latest fall to reality, though things seem to have taken a brief turn for the better in Ontario. Even then, however, we saw James Reimer and Jonathan Bernier become human again, and when their save percentages dropped, so did the team's record. A team that gives up 35+ shots a night cannot consistently win hockey games with purpose.
Without Jimmy at his best right now, the Wings would not have so much as a single win. Detroit is totaling bad possession numbers and terrible shot totals, leading to a barrage of high quality chances for the opponent. The fact that Jimmy's room for error is slim to none makes his recent numbers all the more astounding and important.
In short, Jimmy has been absolutely brilliant in terms of how he is keeping the Wings in games, and near-literally he is standing on his head. The only problem with Jimmy Howard is the team that is presently playing in front of him.

Well, we lost. The worst part is, we definitely should not have. In defense of our Phins, that one drive by the Ravens (you guys know which one I mean) looked like Goodell called the refs and said he'd fire them if Balitmore didn't score a touch down. Also plenty of uncalled holding (apparently they thought Shelby was Wake who gets held on nearly every other play with the difference being Wake's freakish ability to fight through it).
But, unfortunately, nearly every team's fans have similar complaints every time they lose. Here are my both ridiculous and realistic thoughts on the game.
Ryan Tannehill: Is he really the answer? As of the last 2 games (and most of the Atlanta game), he sure doesn't look like it. He's obviously a lot more talented, but am I the only one getting a cold shiver down my spine every time he holds onto the ball for 5 seconds and takes a sack a la Chad Henne? The more inexcusable part is, the man is a former WR. Henne was a robot in both demeanor and athleticism, why does Tannehill continue to live in the pocket when he's proven to throw better on the run? I know it's probably too much too soon, but a lot of the mistakes I see from RT17 are painfully reminiscent of his rookie year. Furthermore, at least 3 of the "drops" Wallace had would have been amazing catches if he'd hauled them in. He had a touchdown too if Tannehill had led him better on that great grab he had in double coverage that he had to slow down for. I'm no Wallace apologist, but Ryan... C'mon man!
The Offensive Line: Not much to say here. We all know what's going on. Clabo continues to disgrace the number 77 in my name, Jerry looks like he's struggling which is a real shocker (SARCASM), Incognito is literally hit or miss, Pouncey is a stud (minus that horrendous snap) and Martin has outperformed my low expectations. I don't see it getting better this season, especially with Tannehill dominating the ball the way he does, so I'm trying not to pick at it incurable wound.
The Running Backs: Just cut Daniel Thomas. The line can't black for you guys, but Thomas manages to make it even worse.
The Defense: Brent, apparently you're not allowed to cover in the end zone. Not your fault, just a new rule against us. We need Wake back in a bad way obviously, but why isn't Jordan getting more snaps??? He's been a beast when he's been in the game. He directly caused Reshad Jones' pick 6, but no, let's just keep him on the sideline. I don't really have that many complaints with the defense (besides Wheeler) so I'm not gonna harp on them.
In conclusion, our offense continues to disappoint me in a way that Henne used to every Sunday. The pass rush is hurting as well without Wake playing. I liked what I saw out of Vernon today though. Let's just hope we can rebound after the bye week and decimate the Bills in week seven.

Health A-Z
Causes of respiratory tract infections
Most upper respiratory tract infections are caused by viruses. There are more than two hundred different viruses that can cause a respiratory tract infection. However, the most common viruses belong to one of two groups:
- rhinoviruses
- coronaviruses
The most common respiratory tract infection is a cold. The number of different viruses that can cause a cold is the reason why it is possible to have several colds, one after the other, with each one being caused by a different virus.
Most lower respiratory tract infections are also caused by viruses. The exception is pneumonia, which is usually caused by streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria.
How infections spread
Respiratory tract infections can be spread in several ways. If you have an infection such as a cold, tiny droplets of fluid containing the cold virus are launched into the air whenever you sneeze, cough or speak. If these are breathed in by someone else, they may also become infected.
Infections can also be spread through direct and indirect contact. If you have an infection such as a cold or the flu, and you touch your nose or eyes before touching someone else, you may pass the virus on to them. Alternatively, if you touch an object, such as a door handle, or telephone, the virus may be transferred to the object. If someone touches the object a short time later, and then touches their mouth, nose or eyes, they may become infected.
- Bacteria
- Bacteria are tiny, single-celled organisms that live in the body. Some can cause illness and disease and some others are good for you.
- Immune
- The immune system is the body's defence system, which helps protect it from disease, bacteria and viruses.

Pat's Kitchen
Patricia Altomare
---- — My father and grandfather had green thumbs when it came to growing vegetables; and tomatoes especially would be prolific in their gardens.
They both were able to develop a close relationship with the tomato it seemed; they would treat them like their babies. It started in mid to late May when they would prepare the soil in the huge garden. Dad would place his tomato plants several feet apart and would water them in the evenings ("most important to water after the sun goes down," he would say). He would use metal cages that were a couple of generations old to support the weight of the branches as the tomato plants grew. I remember him saying that tomato plants needed lots of attention, and he would be out in the garden pruning and tying back branches, and yes, talking to his plants. My father always said that tomato plants are easily manipulated and will produce more with the attention you give them.
He would continue to water and fertilize until an abundance of green tomatoes were big and heavy on the vines. Then the begging for hot, sunny days would begin.
Every day began with the weather report and was discussed fully at the breakfast table. Somehow the sun always came and did its job, as big, bright red fruit would continue to ripen, and he always knew just when to pick them, saying that the best flavor was when tomatoes were in full color. I can attest to that statement as I would eat many a tomato that I had picked right off the vine and eat it while it was warm from the sun.
Somehow he had tomatoes growing right into autumn, and that is when my mother's talents took over; canning and making tomato juice, amongst many other tomato recipes.
But that is another story for another day.
I found this recipe, the Winning Best Overall Pie at the Portland Pie-Off in Oregon, several years ago. I was intrigued by the recipe itself, using caramelized onions to accompany the fresh tomatoes and then topped with cheddar cheese; you can't go wrong with this savory pie.
4 to 5 large tomatoes, peeled, cored and sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 10-inch pie crust
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
2 cups medium cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons butter
11/2 large sweet onions, sliced in 1/4-inch rings (Vidalia or Walla Walla sweets work best)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon spice mix (Italian herbs or other favorite seasoning)
1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper, separated
Salt to taste
Preheat oven to 350º degrees.
Melt butter in a sauté pan and add onions. Cook at medium-low for about 30 minutes until caramelized, stirring every few minutes to avoid burning.
Lightly salt tomatoes and drain in colander for 20 minutes.
Pre-bake pie shell for 10 minutes in 350-degree F. oven with pie weights to avoid bubbles.
Mix cheddar with mayonnaise and 1/4 teaspoon of the cracked pepper and set aside.
Add one layer of tomatoes to pie shell and cover with dash of salt, pepper, sugar and basil. Add the rest of the tomato slices and seasonings in layers.
Spread cheese mixture evenly on top of tomatoes.
Sprinkle spice mix on top of cheese.
Add caramelized onions to the top of the pie in an even layer.
Bake pie at 350-degrees for 30 minutes. Cover with foil if the crust begins to burn.
Good to hear from you
A few weeks ago I received this letter from Zena, a reader who lives in Lawrence.
Dear Patricia: I am looking for a recipe for "Red Kidney Bean Dip." I first had it in the 1970s at a restaurant called Arthur's Town House in Lawrence, off of Essex Street. If you can find it I would love to have that recipe.
P.S. I look forward to your article every Friday. Thank you,
Zena, Lawrence
My response:
Dear Zena, It appears that Arthur's restaurant was replaced by the Townhouse Pub on Newbury Street which is very close to Essex and Jackson. The number listed is now out of service. I did locate two different recipes for red kidney bean dip and have mailed them to you. I hope one of them is close to what you remember.
A couple of days ago I received this e-mail regarding the above letter:
Patricia, My name is John Drivas, the son of Arthur Drivas who owned Arthur's Town House. I saw the article of Zena asking for my dad's bean dip recipe. My father would be happy to pass it on to her. He is not computer-savvy but you could reach him by telephone.
He was so excited to see someone still remembers his bean dip from 43 years ago.
Pat's P.S. They have connected by phone. Such a nice ending for two people that have memories that are special to them.
Patricia Altomare invites feedback. Email her at email@example.com.

'Twas the night before retirement, and at Bellmont Hall,
not a creature was happy – Mack hired them all.
The boosters were padding their account with care,
in hopes that Coach Saban soon would be there.
The players were nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of Sugar Bowls danced in their heads.
And my wife in her PJs, and in my bed,
knew all the hot rumors, around would be spread.
When on Orangebloods there arose such a clatter,
I jumped onto Twitter to see what was the matter.
With Chrome in 3 windows I surfed like a flash,
Logged onto Burnt Orange Nation (no crash!)
The FlightAware addicts had already tracked
and RTR's website feared they had been hacked.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But a burnt orange plane, that looked like a Lear.
With a little passenger so surly and quick,
I knew it a moment it must be Coach Nick.
More rapid than Pitino his championships came,
and he whistled, and shouted, and called out by name:
"Regent Hall! Regent Cranberg! Regents Foster and Hicks!
Regents Horne, Pejovich, and the rest of you dicks!
I come from Bama with my crystal football!
Now go away, go away, GO FUCK YOURSELVES, Y'ALL!"
As tumbleweed across the prairie flies,
The regents ran to spread more of their lies.
So into the airport, that Learjet it flew
With a host of rich boosters, and Coach Saban too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the air
The callers to PAWL crying out in despair.
As I relished their anguish, loved each little sound,
Into Belmont Coach Saban did bound.
He was dressed all in orange from head to foot
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot
(The Father of Lies wanted his soul back,
but Nick bartered for time, and then couldn't pack.)
His eyes had no sparkle, his face wasn't merry,
He never would smile, nor demeanor vary.
His mouth was drawn as tight as a bow
when he heard he'd be hosting the Coach Saban Show.
A half PowerBar he held in his mouth,
As he told of how he'd recruit the South.
He saw an intern at a desk with a cracker
and fired him faster than any linebacker.
He was grouchy and mean, a right dour old elf,
But he promised to put up trophies on our shelf.
How with our culture would this new coach blend?
(And how many rules could he possibly bend?)
He spoke not a word, but went straight to work,
And called his recruits (and wasn't a jerk!)
And giving the finger to College Station,
He told everyone there would be no vacation.
He hired Narduzzi, he hired Chad Morris
and told the fans he'd go win for us.
Then I heard him exclaim at the end of the night:

A Daviess County, Kentucky high school student is charged with assault for allegedly attacking two school officials and a sheriff's deputy.
The incident happened Tuesday around noon.
Dispatchers confirm the student was being disruptive and throwing punches in the classroom.

Can anyone figure this thing out? The videos have no sound!! The widgets dont go where they are supposed to and that gantry thing is indecipherable.
Hi Dodgeintheshed,
Video tutorial has no sound because i didn't make it. Gantry Framework is realy simple that is why i can't understand what the problem.
If you have more specific questions, please contact.
Hi Woo_Doo, Thanks for the response a month ago! I finally have the template up and running. I have only one issue: I can't get the template to look fine on Iphone. I've been trying to adjust the css, but in iphone looks way off. Is there a script or a code to make it work in Iphone the same way it works in an Android phone?
Thanks a lot…
I purchased this theme about an hour ago and it is absolutely horrible. Nothing like the description and half the plug-ins don't work. Am I able to receive a refund?
Hi akeezer,
You may have this problems because your host is to far or by some other reasones. Please, try to reinstall the template following all steps from documentation more carefully. If it won't help you I can install template for you.
This is not working for me at all – is there any documentation? It doesn't show up right on the install and it is unresponsive in the admin panel. I've tried to install this just by uploading and keep getting the error 'Are you sure you want to do this?", then I did it on the back end and still nothing, I finally got it work somewhat by opening wd-quickm folder and unzipping that file, but when I upload that zip, only half of the template installs. Is there anyway you can help with this?
Hi provacillian,
You can find documentation for QuickM template here: Documentation/readme.html. All information about how to install is there. If you'll follow all steps from it you won't have any problems with installetion.
Hi,Thanks for the great theme. I need help editing the following things:

- Meta keywords
Can you tell me which files to edit to change these?
Thank you in advance.
Hi ddzc,

Hi boonq,
Please, read documentation. There is all information about how to install the template. If you'll follow all steps from it you'll receive web site just like demo. Gantry Framework doesn't support standart export xml WP, use 1. Install demo theme (quick start)
Hi Quickm,

Hi again,
Used 'Bebas' for QuickM template. Please, read documentation: 2.Theme Setup and settings plugins > Adding main menu, Piecemaker Image Slider and Wp-Cufon plugin. There you can find all information you need.

Hi ashleybs18,
For some reason adding a search field in the header isn't being styled like it should. Can anyone help? Site is here http://q-theory.com/labs/tag/
It exceeded my expectations. Short and point to the themes of "woodoo-Style." Visual super different, not to mention the amazing support that is provided. Can give the final result: www.claudioviana.com.br. Woodoo-Style, thanks!
Hi spassodesigner,
No problem, contact if need help.
I am having issues with the Cufon styling, it is not doing anything.
And the style and position of the search bar, it does not look the same as the demo and does not automatically appear in the same position.
I am following the videos exactly, any help would be appreciated.

Braves Acquire Michael Bourn
Give up CF Jordan Schafer, LHP Brett Oberholtzer, RHP Paul Clemens, and RHP Juan Abreu. From Talking Chop: "Oberholtzer is the gem here, but projects as nothing more than a mid-rotation starter. Clemens projects as mid-to-back of the rotation. Abreu is a good relief arm. [...] Oberholtzer is the top-rated prospect, and ranked 7th on the Talking Chop mid-season top-25. Clemens ranked 10th, and Abreu ranked 23rd." Sounds like a steal for Atlanta. Vomit.

Extreme flooding as ex-tropical cyclone Oswold batters Queensland
Queensland, Australia is facing its worst natural disaster since the 2011 floods as wild weather caused by ex-tropical cyclone Oswald continues to batter the state. The military have been forced to evacuate several regional centres due to severe flooding and winds of up to 140 kilometres an hour.
QUEENSLAND is facing its worst natural disaster since the 2011 floods as wild weather caused by ex-tropical cyclone Oswald continues to batter the state. The military have been forced to evacuate several regional centres due to severe flooding and winds of up to 140 kilometres an hour.
Meteorologists have called the weekend's storms a "once in twenty years" event with flooding cutting off towns from Warwick to Bundaberg as rivers continue to swell. Thousands of Queensland residents have been left isolated as bridges are knocked down and causeways are overwhelmed in the deluge.
Three people have been reported to have died as a result of the weekend's extreme weather, including a motorcyclist who was swept off a causeway in the south-east region. A woman and her three-year-old son are also in critical condition after being hit by a falling tree in Brisbane, sustaining severe head injuries.
Residents in the Logan region of south-east Queensland have been instructed to evacuate their homes, with South Maclean expecting a flood peak of over 17 metres overnight. Bundaberg locals were not as lucky, with flood waters cutting off the town earlier in the day and forcing the Australian Defence Force to provide assistance evacuating 1500 people from the town, including aiding in the transfer 131 patients from Bundaberg Hospital.
The ongoing weather conditions has made rescuing Bundaberg residents by boat virtually impossible, with the Burnett River reported to be running at around 40 knots. The military has offered the Queensland government use of defence force helicopters in order to assist efforts to evacuate residents and provide supplies to anyone remaining in areas that have been cut-off by flooding.
Brisbane City has also been declared a disaster area after localised flooding caused the Brisbane River to break its banks on Monday morning. The flooding spilled over into the city's CBD, with celebrity chef Matt Moran's latest restaurant facing a significant damage bill after the property on Eagle Street Pier was inundated with flood water only six weeks after it opened its doors.
After avoiding serious damage during the 2011 Queensland floods the Gold Coast has felt the effects of ex-tropical cyclone Oswald with reports of tornados near the New South Wales border and downed power-lines causing blackouts that Energex claim will take as much as 48 hours to rectify. The city was walloped with gale force winds that blew windows out of the Q1 high-rise and tore roofs off nightclubs in Surfers Paradise.
Strong winds have forced the closure of beaches along the Queensland coast, causing sea foam blown by the wind to rain down on local communities and blanket beachside towns in a thick snow-like substance. Lifeguards and emergency services personnel have advised locals not to put themselves at risk by going to see the unusual 'summer snow' and waves estimated to be as high as five metres.
Queensland Premier Campbell Newman has pleaded with residents to take whatever precautions they can to protect themselves from the adverse conditions in their area, warning that rivers across the state have yet to reach their peak and will continue to swell overnight.
Newman said: "These are record floods. We are in uncharted territory. There is some indication from the Bureau of Meteorology of a thunderstorm… If that develops we could see flash flooding, given the potential for intense rain events, and people need to be mindful of that along suburban creeks. People could see a rapid rise in water."
The extreme weather over the weekend will continue to have a significant impact on Queenslanders for weeks to come, with Queensland Rail advising that it will not resume normal services until Wednesday at the earliest and Telstra advising some customers that internet connection in localised areas may not be available for up to a week. Over 200 Queensland schools have been closed tomorrow, delaying the first day of the school year for thousands of young people across the state.
The storm cell will hit the New South Wales north coast over the next few days, with rural towns such as Bellingen already isolated by increasing rainfall over the past few hours. Flood rescue crews are on standby in Sydney's northern suburbs, where storm activity and significant coastal erosion is expected to escalate on Tuesday.

I am from coastal Mississippi, on the Gulf of Mexico. Where we have experieced very powerful hurricanes in the past. How does this storm match up to say an F4 hurricane. I have no clue.
Remember now – NONE of the latest extreme weather events all over the world has go anything whatsoever to do with global warming.
It has nothin gto do with the record heatwave or the Coral Sea being 1C hotter than it used to be a few decades ago.
Remember to tell all your mates to ignore all this and all the future extreme weather and to just quote that famous old Aussie poem which PROVES that these events are all just a fantastic coincidence.
Not a word about climate change to anyhone and with luck it will all just go away.

Eve: Valkyrie's new EP brings lessons from Mirror's Edge
By Tracey Lien on Sep 13, 2013 09.13.13
Deep space dogfighting and first-person parkour may not seem to have a lot in common, but according to Eve: Valkyrie's executive producer Owen O'Brien, CCP's own virtual reality dogfighting game takes lessons from DICE's Mirror's Edge. Speaking to Polygon, the recently-appointed O'Brien said he was drawn to Eve: Valkyrie because it was a unique opportunity to do something "cutting edge" with a small team. He also plans to bring his experience working on Mirror's Edge to help inform Eve: Valkyrie's design. "Mirror's Edge was built around a strong core mechanic [of first-person movement], but one of the lessons I learned from it was you've got to have all the other bits there as well," he said. "We had a great core mechanic, but we failed in some other areas. I think sometimes it's easy...

Watch a drone being controlled by the Oculus Rift
By Alexa Ray Corriea on Jul 25, 2013 07.25.13
Intuitive Aerial, a group that uses camera technology to create airborne rigs, outfitted a drone with an Oculus Rift virtual reality headset, allowing users to control the flying box and see from its point of view remotely. The video above demonstrates this setup. The drone carries a laptop that is connected back to the Oculus Rift, feeding it images via wireless internet. The person controlling the drone through the Oculus will see everything the drone encounters rather than a digital representation of objects. The laptop compresses the video recorded by the rig's two cameras and sends them back to the viewer in realtime. The only catch is the range on the rig: since the communication to the Oculus depends on Wi-fi, transmissions will stop between 50 and 100 meters. "We have dreamed...

Were they used for protection or standing on? How were they racked?
The blocks were used for both direct aid and protection. I stacked them with big tricams, bongs and home made number 6 "Friends". I got really scared but in hindsight, I think each placement was pretty solid. Well, so long as they were weighted... Racked 'em just like nuts - they are drilled for slings.
Was that helpful, Jeffeos?
More than helpful. Look back to my original query; I must have been feeling silly that day. None the less, awesome to hear of how your used them blocks aside from the obvious fact they served as protection.

A roof access is a popular type of home accessory that can have many different functions. One of the most common types consists of a hatch that allows a person to climb onto a roof to do maintenance and as an emergency escape. The term may also refer to devices that allow sunlight and fresh air to enter a home through the roof area. There are many different types of products available in addition to hatches such as roof lights, which are like windows; glazed roofs that open; skylights that slide open; roof and sky lights that are manually or electrically-operated; pull-down stairs; attic ladders; and emergency escapes.
Many municipalities have guidelines for safe roof access. These regulations can determine which products can be installed. Accordingly, it can be a good idea to check building codes before making a decision about a roof access product for a home.
Like the name suggests, an opening roof is a type of roof that completely opens. It is usually manufactured by companies that design the product to fit the specific dimensions of a home. A motorized electrical device is generally used to open the roof, although for smaller models, manually-operated wenches can be used. Some of the purposes of the opening roof are to allow sunlight and fresh air into a residential property.
Attic ladders are considered a type of roof access product, however, they are generally intended for attic access only. The ladder can convert an attic from an unusable storage place into a dynamic part of the home. These ladders are usually customized to fit the measurements of a home, and are designed with safety in mind. Such safety features can include parts like spring-lever mechanisms and steel brackets. Most are equipped with a railing to ensure people do not fall while using them.
Roof ventilation allows air and sunlight into a dwelling. It can also vent hot air from an attic space, and replace it with cooler, fresher air. Such openings can also introduce light into the attic, which can deter cockroaches and unwanted animals from inhabiting the space.
Roof hatches have a very basic design, consisting of a small access opening installed on a roof. These typically range from 30 to 40 inches (76.2 to 101.6 cm) in diameter, and are usually made from materials like galvanized steel. In the installation process, a hole is cut into the roof according to the specific measurements of the hatch, which is then placed into the opening.
As a safety measure, roof access can also be important. In a fire, it may provide another means of escape for people. These emergency doors can vary in type, from a roof hatch with a ladder to a skylight that opens manually.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

The Interoperability Evolution: A New Road Map
Speaking at the recent Tactical Interoperable Communications Conference in Washington, DC, in May, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff noted, "I'm going to tell you that the biggest barrier to interoperability is not technology. Here is...

What will it take? First, explore the new world with an open mind and consider that the interoperability world is round; if you are open to this new frontier, many discoveries will unfold and more effective public-safety communications will prevail.
One obvious direction is to develop public-safety communications along the guidelines of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the National Response Plan (NRP). This will coincide with the required planning already underway and will strengthen every locality's unified command effectiveness at large-scale incidents, events and disasters.
The next area that offers significant chance for improvement is in day-to-day public-safety operations. This will be the hardest nut to crack. It requires a methodical approach that involves friendship, partnership, patience, sensitivity, training, a willingness to learn and understand from other perspectives, and perseverance. The process will take time and discussions may become argumentative but if an eye is focused on the prize – to create the most effective and safe public-safety communications environment – it will be one of the greatest accomplishments and newly forged relationships will become unshakable.
I suggest a 10-step process (when technology enables interoperability):
1. Make a conscientious effort to meet with other leaders of your community and/or region's public safety community (law enforcement, EMS, fire, emergency managers, etc.) today. If possible, become friends. Friends are apt to help in a more understanding and responsive way than someone unknown to you. Effective governance is the overarching success to a long-term program.
2. Use the NIMS model to develop a public-safety interoperable communications plan. An interoperable communications plan is being required for the larger 75 national identified (UASI) regions and it makes sense for every community to do the same. It makes good sense and it will likely have an impact on future grants.
3. Establish a steering committee comprised of all the appropriate stakeholders and discuss philosophy and set acceptable boundaries. This should include all of the top public-safety department representatives.
4. Establish a Working Group to develop a draft plan to be reviewed by the Steering Committee.
a. Begin the process of rethinking how public safety communications could be better and safer in your day-to-day operations.
b. Be thinking about safety.
c. Consider how other agencies could enter your world – start small.
d. Consider how your agency might operate better with them.
e. Review regularly scheduled community events for opportunities such as sporting events, annual events and VIP visits.
5. Develop a regional public-safety interoperable communications plan which ultimately involves NIMS, NRP, unified command, interoperability, safety AND make sure it interfaces with the statewide interoperability plan if applicable.
6. Train on the plan by conducting Field Training Exercises (FTEs). The plan will accomplish nothing if training does not ensure that everyone understands and is proficient with it.
7. Conduct regional preparedness/response drills and test the plan and utilize the Interoperable Communications Technical Assistance Program's (ICTAP) evaluation tool, which can be found by visiting http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/odp/ta_ictap.htm.
8. Identify deficiencies in the Interoperable Communications Plan (ICP) and modify appropriately. Every plan can be improved.
9. Expand the regional footprint to involve other surrounding communities. The larger the regional aspect, the more resources are immediately available during catastrophic events.
10. Conduct an annual review and encourage the ICP to operationally and technologically evolve. Always keep an eye on new operational ways to use the communications system and to explore technology that can enhance the present system.
This is truly a new beginning for public-safety communications. There are many opportunities along this journey but unless there is a diligent initiative to move into new and sometimes uncomfortable discussions, these new opportunities will remain elusive.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
When facing Bucksnort from the road, there is a very easy approach to the Classic D area. If you continue on to the south (left-facing the cliff), one passes a pile of huge boulders that almost come to the road. After this, there is another trail leading up to the cliff. Scramble up to the cliff and scramble up to a boulder platform that has two bolted routes starting from it. This boulder platform is up and left and about 25 higher than the start of the route "Buckfever". Left Out starts from the boulder platform and is the lefthand bolted route.
There isn't much to talk about gearwise on this one as there isn't hardly any gear: rour bolts in 150 feet to the anchor.

When I first heard about James Roberts it was from our friend and fellow Buffalo Foodie Christa Seychew, and all she told me was "he's doing some pretty crazy stuff in his kitchen". James is the Head Chef at Park Country Club and there's a good chance you haven't heard of him or tasted his food. That's a shame because he's a really great guy who is incredibly talented, educated and strives for excellence every day that he arrives at work. On this podcast we talked about his start in kitchens in New Orleans (his hometown), how he got into the Country Club world, his philosophy on training young cooks and his reflections on the elBulli meal at Grant Achatz's Next. We had a really fun conversation that night but an even better time hanging out in Allentown after. I hope you enjoy listening to this podcast as much as I enjoyed recording it.

Eau Claire (WQOW) -- In fifteen games with the Express, Sam Haggerty leads the team with a .352 average and two homers.
"Me and my coach have talked about it," says Haggerty, I'm a switch hitter and we really want to continue to develop both sides and get better with that. And letting the ball get deep and hitting it the other way is what most Major League teams look for in a young hitter, so that's what I've been working on."
Haggerty says the Northwoods League is good preparation for what he hopes is a career in professional baseball.
"The game of baseball is a well known language by a lot of guys and you just jump in there and play," Haggerty says, "this has been the best taste of what minor league baseball would have been like and what I'd expect it to be like. It's definitely a grind, that's the right way to describe it. Every day you have to come out and you have to bring it and play well. Hopefully we can get better in the second half of the season."

Has The Global Economic Meltdown Made Teaching A Dying Profession?
For years, many families have considered teaching a profession that could weather even the most devastating economic storms. After all, through 2009 and the first half of 2010, many universities and teaching colleges across North America have continued to see increases in both application volume and admission to their teacher certification programs. With these kind of facts, it is hard to believe that teaching as a profession is under fire? Sadly, while admissions to teacher preparation programs are encouraging, reductions in teacher employment have raised alarm bells throughout the profession. Many new teachers, despite sending out dozens, even hundreds of resumes, continue to find themselves unemployed. Moreover, this rise in unemployment has forced many to question the basic assumption that teaching as a career is stable, while supporting the argument that teaching, like other professions, remains susceptible to the basic rules of economics. This shift has seen veteran teachers in a number of regions be laid off, schools closed as districts move to reduce budgets, and given new graduates post graduation jitters. According to recent estimates, over 135,000 qualified teachers who are looking to work will be unable to find a position during the 2010-2011 school year. While this is alarming, what is even more concerning is the fact that, in both Canada and the United States, the hiring rate for new teachers in many districts has slowed. With so much uncertainty, many continue to wonder what these changes will mean for new teachers over the next 5 years? Will new teachers be able to find jobs after graduation? If so, how soon, and where?
With fewer teachers finding employment after graduating from teaching programs, many have been forced to work in non-traditional settings while persevering through the job search. Unfortunately, for most unemployed, the start of the school year has destroyed any chance of securing a post for the current school year. To compensate, some teachers without employment have re-enrolled in post-graduate teacher education programs, while others have enrolled in certificate programs that certify them to teach ECE (Early Childhood Education), gifted, or talented students. While jumping back into the private sector seems like one possible option, most private schools, charter schools and even education-related firms currently have 100% staffing levels. Still, despite the desperation, many others refuse to cede, hoping instead that the next 2 - 3 years will usher in a new era of change. In fact, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Outlook Handbook, despite the recent economic set-back which has significantly impacted teacher employment and necessitated cost cutting "most job openings will result from the need to replace the large number of teachers who are expected to retire over the 2008–18 period." Additionally, while less promising, the Bureau notes that, as the economy recovers, many new teachers, especially those in poorer, urban areas, may leave the profession for better employment, creating more openings for new graduates. Is the Bureau correct? Will these changes combine to re-stabilize the teaching profession, returning it to its once dominant position within the labor pool? The Bureau of Labor and Statistics has been right with some of its forecasts in the past. For teachers sake, let's hope they've got this prediction correct.

Over the last ten years, healthcare costs have skyrocketed. Many companies have cut healthcare
benefits and left their employees to purchase most or all of their health insurance.
Americans today struggle to afford traditional health insurance, and some cannot afford any insurance at all. But there is an
answer. Advantage Wellness of America offers wellness plans for you and your family for just a few dollars
per month.
Health insurance programs like Blue Cross Blue Shield and United Healthcare are known as funded programs. These
programs require you to pay large premiums each month. These plans also have a deductible that you must pay each
time you visit a doctor, have your eyes checked, or buy prescription drugs.
The AWA Wellness Plan is different. Instead of paying large monthly premiums, you pay a small
fee - as low as $8.00 per month! When you visit a doctor in our network, you receive a large discount on your
medical fees. There's even a free prescription drug card to help you with your prescription
drug costs.
This is not insurance. It is a discount card that works with thousands of healthcare providers, fitness clubs,
and retailers across the United States.
Advantage Wellness of America negotiates with healthcare providers across the country. In exchange for
being included as one of our providers, doctors offer deep discounts on everything from dental,
hearing, and
health risk assessment to cosmetic surgery,
vision, and nutritional supplements. Doctors are willing to slash their fees to get the business
of the millions of Americans who are a part of the AWA network.
At these prices, you can't afford to leave you or your family unprotected. AWA offers wellness plans
for both individuals and families. There's an AWA Wellness Plan that will fit your budget. Click here to choose
a plan that's right for you.

(FOX 11) Law enforcement sources tell me that until the FBI and officials in Boston figure out who is behind the explosions -- and why they did it, if there even is a why -- no one can take any chances and that's why we're seeing heightened security at the airport, metro, ball game, etc.
When it comes to security during troubled times, the more the merrier. But there are some who think it's a bit too much; "overreaction", they complain. Why do I think they'll be the same ones yelling "Where was the police?" if something bad does happen?
Can't make everyone happy. Can't take any chances. Can't be too safe.
Just ask the people that were at the Boston Marathon.

SAN LUIS Ariz. — U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers busted a man who tried smuggling 669 pounds of pot through the San Luis Commercial Port of Entry.
It happened Friday, after a 48-year-old man driving a tractor-trailer was pulled into secondary revision.
Officers noticed something strange in his trailer using an X-ray system.
Then, a drug-detecting dog alerted officers to the back of the trailer, where they found 27 packages of pot hidden behind the back wall.
The marijuana and tractor-trailer were processed for seizure.
The drug smuggler was turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations.
