Gama Group, the fast-growing business aviation services group, is quickly settling into its new base at Sharjah International Airport. The Farnborough, UK-based company is finding that customers now recognize the limitations of Dubai International Airport, which has become increasingly busy with airline traffic, making it hard for business aircraft operators to get convenient slots–especially at short notice. Meanwhile, Gama's move into Saudi Arabia with new FBOs planned in Jeddah and Riyadh are coming together fast.
RUS Aviation
Gama Aviation opened its new FBO at Sharjah (UAE) International Airport on Monday, making it the sole business aviation handler at the field. The facility, which is open 24/7/365, marks Gama's move into FBO management for the first time in the Middle East and North Africa region. Gama has based a fleet of charter aircraft at Sharjah since 2004. Sharjah's appeal is its availability of slots and its close proximity to downtown Dubai, Gama said.

With just seven wins in two previous seasons, Discovery Canyon sat in a precarious position as other fledgling programs, such as Vista Ridge and Palmer Ridge, quickly rose to prominence as teams to beat in the Pikes Peak region.
"I was concerned that maybe we had hit a bump in the road," said coach Shawn Mitchell, a former Colorado College football player who left Harrison after seven seasons to start the Thunder program in 2007. "We had high hopes heading into 3A three years ago, and after the second season, were a little discouraged."
That made the 2012 season all the more special for Mitchell, whose Thunder went 9-2, claimed the 3A South Central division title and advanced to the postseason for the first time.
"This year far exceeded expectations," Mitchell said. "The best way I can explain the season was fun, an enjoyable stress, as opposed to wondering how we were going to win."
Now, Discovery Canyon is poised as a team to beat, with a foundation in place and a strong junior class returning to defend its league title.
"The attitude in our building was different, and other sports feed on that," Mitchell said. "We had such excitement all season long. This season raises the bar for next year and beyond."

Nanny stabs 2 children to death, hurts self – NYPD
NEW YORK, USA (AP) — Police say a nanny at a luxury New York City apartment building stabbed two small children to death in a bathtub then stabbed herself.
They say the children's mother found them after returning home with another child.
The mother arrived home Thursday evening with her three-year-old to find the one and six-year-old children in the apartment at a building called La Rochelleon on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
It's unclear how many times the children were stabbed.
Police say the nanny was on the floor of the bathroom and had stab wounds believed to be self-inflicted. They say a kitchen knife was nearby.
The mother called 911.
Police say the nanny is in custody. She's hospitalised in critical condition.
The New York Police Department is investigating.

Expert says rainfall is king both for water supply and agriculture
Caribbean nations must be more cognizant of the importance of its rainwater resources, more so in this era of climate change.
That's the view of the University of the West Indies', Dr. Michael Taylor as he addressed environment and agriculture stakeholders at the Technical Centre for Agriculture and Rural Co-operation (CTA) Climate Change Adaptation – Water Management workshop, which was held at Roseau's Pastoral Centre.
Presenting on the topic "Climate Variability and Change and Water Availability in the Caribbean", Dr. Taylor further explained that in many Caribbean countries, rainfall is heavily relied on for both surface and ground water.
He noted that to a large extent, the rain water is now one of the most important commodities for Caribbean "Our context shows that there is very high reliance on rainfall and therefore we are very vulnerable to vagaries of climate".
He explained that research suggests how the vulnerability will play out: "Seasonality is key for our rainfall availability and that summer rainfall is key (May to November). We need the rain in the wet season to last us through the dry period."
Irregular disruptions to seasonality are caused by ENSO (2-7 year variation in El Nino activity) and the North Atlantic Oscillation (climate variability in 10- to 12-year cycles).
Dr. Taylor underscored the point that climate change will affect rainfall for the Caribbean and that the region will face drier conditions by end of the 21st century, in particular during the wet season (May to November). On the whole, he noted that climate change is expected to result in increased temperature, changing weather patterns, more intense hurricanes and rising sea levels.
The Climate Change forum continues until Wednesday 11th October 2011 at the Pastoral Centre, Roseau.
This year's theme is "Caribbean Food and Nutrition Security in a Changing Climate – The Nature Island Experience".

Louisville, KY (SportsNetwork.com) - Russ Smith scored 19 points to lead No. 11 Louisville to an 80-54 thrashing of South Florida on Tuesday.
Luke Hancock contributed 16 points, Montrezl Harrell netted 14 and Terry Rozier added 13 off the bench for the Cardinals (22-4, 11-2 AAC), who have won five straight since a 69-66 loss at home to then No. 13 Cincinnati on Jan. 30.
Louisville will face Cincinnati on Saturday in a rematch of the top two teams in the American Athletic Conference.
Victor Rudd led all scorers with 27 points for the Bulls (12-15, 3-11), who tied a season-high four-game losing streak with the loss and dropped their 15th game in the last 16 against Louisville.
"That's a really good basketball team. I don't think we played poorly, I just think they're really good," USF coach Stan Heath said.
Rudd made a layup to cut an early deficit to 11-8 before Louisville responded with a 19-6 run. Harrell opened the run with a layup and closed it with an uncontested dunk off his steal to give the Cardinals a 30-14 advantage.
Martino Brock then made a jumper and a three-point play around a Rudd jumper to close the gap to 10 with just under seven minutes left to play in the frame.
The Bulls got as close as nine before the Cardinals ended the final 5 1/2 minutes of the half on a 12-3 run to take a 46-28 lead at the break. Five players scored for Louisville during the burst with Mangok Mathiang converting a three-point play to close the scoring in the half.
"We had enough possessions tonight; it was a possession game. Even though they were shooting a very high percentage in the first half, they only got 14 shots off," Louisville coach Rick Pitino said.
Shemiye McLendon made two layups around a pair of free throws from Rudd to open the second half and trim the halftime deficit to 12, but Louisville scored six unanswered a couple of minutes later to regain a healthy advantage.
McLendon made a free throw to make it a 15-point game before Louisville put the finishing touches on the performance with a 15-4 run to take a 75-49 lead with less than four minutes to play.

Having said all that, I'm off to shore duty here in a few months, which would be a decent time to get a spider since I'll be home every night for roughly the next two or so years. Moving to California this summer.

The excitement mounts with every good camp showing by our young receivers, every shred of praise directed to Carson Palmer, and every soundbite by a veteran player applauding the new multiples defensive package. No doubt about it, this is going to be a fantastic year for Raiders football and I love our chances in the AFC West.
Each week, I'll choose three Raiders players and set an Over/Under line for a couple of his vital position statistics and I want you to predict whether they will beat that line or fall short. Weigh in on some or all of them in the comments section and let the debate begin. If at all possible, please provide an explanation for your opinion...and yes, "just a gut feeling" works.
We have already covered:
Carson Palmer
If you haven't weighed in on these three gents, or maybe you'd like to revise a submission based on some camp news (like how Myers will start at TE, not Ausberry who's buried at #3 on the chart), please feel free to go back and edit.
Note: I noticed that last week, some folks were not sure how to submit their predictions because I had listed multiple Over/Under lines for each player. I'll keep it simple this time and make it easier on you to throw in your two American cents by keeping it at one stat line per player.
Will Darren McFadden rush for Over or Under 1,200 yards?
Darren McFadden reached 1,157 yards in 2010 in 13 games played. Do you think Darren is primed and ready for a career year for the Raiders, or do you think his year will be marred by more injuries that won't allow him to his this mark? Maybe you think that Dennis Allen will reduce his role in an attempt to keep him fresh for the playoffs. Or maybe still, you could surmise that Darren will be asked to run less and receive more.
Will Denarius Moore score Over or Under 8.5 total touchdowns (rushing+receiving+returns)?
Last year, Denarius came out of nowhere to catch five touchdown passes as an unheralded rookie. He seemed to really click with Carson Palmer, with whom he has had more time to get into sync with during a full off season. To make the jump from five touchdowns to eight might seem easily accomplishable given that fact, but also consider the added competition for targets this year from Criner, Streater, and maybe even McGee. We also have no idea what our run/pass ratio will pan out to be.
Will Marcel Reece gain Over or Under 650 All-Purpose (rushing+receiving) yards?
Marcel Reece is still working hard to prove that he is worthy of a big pay check. I expect him to be hungry and focused in 2012 and to build upon his Pro Bowl (alternate) season. For the last two seasons, Marcel has logged 455 and 413 total yards, respectively, so a 200 yard jump would demand an expanded role in the offense. Does the West Coast offense bring with it promise of a significant increase in the number of targets for Reece? Or does the availability of other pass-catching options relegate him to a similar level of production as the past two years?
Thanks for your submissions and I look forward to arguing with you about your answers.

Confessions of a Naked Man: Locker Room Vulnerability
Locker Room Sociology
Over the years I've also become something of a student of the sociology of men talking to one another naked. There are several different areas where guys converse, each with its own unwritten rules. The main stage is the locker and bench zone, where unrobed conversations take place within earshot of anyone who happens to be nearby. There's a lot of trash talk and one-upsmanship, more about sports than anything else -- although, interestingly, it's rarely about the sports that the guys just played. It's usually about pro sports that they recently watched (or have an opinion on even if they didn't).
Besides the sports talk, you also hear occasional outbursts of what I call competitive praise. Two guys, generally 50-plus, will stand there hurtling compliments at each other -- "you look great," "no, no, you look great" -- until one has managed to aggressively out-flatter the other. The fact that they're buck naked and demonstrably do not look great just makes it all the more entertaining.
Then there are the whisperers. Although I understand wanting to create a little privacy in this nakedly public setting, their whispering becomes so conspicuous that everyone immediately wonders what they're plotting. And sometimes the wondering is justified. Just a couple of weeks ago a guy with a locker near mine was indicted.
I especially distrust the whisperers because there are so many other places in the locker room where you can talk more privately. If you and your friends manage to get the steam room or the sauna to yourselves, either is a great place to talk -- until an interloper arrives. Then the situation usually becomes too awkward for anyone to say anything.
My favorite place is the whirlpool, which bubbles loudly enough that it serves as a watery cone of silence. Our whirlpool is rectangular, so groups of three or four can huddle at either end and, as long as no strangers wander into your whirling space, it feels pretty private. Whirlpool time can be sacred: In our regular basketball group it's not uncommon for guys who are hurt and can't play to show up just for the whirlpool chatter.

Tempur Sealy sets 10-year mattress warranties
January 16, 2014-- Furniture Today,
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Tempur Sealy International plans to standardize its full-replacement warranties on premium bedding lines at 10 years, a top company official told Furniture/Today.
Rick Anderson, executive vice president and president, North America, for Tempur Sealy International, said the new warranty program, which goes into effect March 1, is designed to build trust in the company's brands and reduce consumer confusion.
With the change, Tempur-Pedic, Stearns & Foster, Sealy Optimum and Sealy Posturepedic models will all have 10-year full-replacement warranties, and the pro-rated portion of those warranties, which extend some of the total warranty lengths to 25 years, will be eliminated, Anderson said.
"The goal of this initiative is to reduce consumer confusion while increasing satisfaction with our brands and products," he said in a letter to dealers this week. "Our intention is to build trust with our consumers and retailers through a simple, complete and honest warranty solution. It is a promise we make to our consumers, and one we believe will resonate with them when it is time to make their next bedding purchase."
Additionally, some retailers believe the long warranties suppress mattress sales, he said.
The executive said retailers will be allowed to sell extended warranties on Tempur Sealy products, if they wish, in the second quarter of this year.
"We expect this to be received favorably within the retailer community," Anderson said.
Recent mattress research indicates that consumers find warranties in the mattress industry, which often include a full-replacement portion covering 10 years and a pro-rated portion covering 15 years, to be "confusing and often misleading," he said. "This research is echoed by feedback we received directly from our consumers, so we are taking action to bring about a new standard of trust within our portfolio of leading brands."
The company said that beginning March 1, it will increase the warranty on all Tempur-Pedic mattress covers from two years to 10 years, and will standardize at 10 years the full-replacement portion of warranties on premium lines.
Warranties on mattresses that currently have less than 10-year coverage will remain unchanged. And adjustable foundation warranties will also remain unchanged. Warranties on any Tempur Sealy product purchased prior to March 1 of this year are not impacted by the change, the company said.
Anderson said Tempur Sealy officials "will closely monitor and evaluate the program to ensure its effectiveness." He added: "Tempur Sealy retains the right to change this policy in the future as needed."

Travelers Championship: Justin Rose makes solid start, Charley Hoffman leads thanks to 61
Last Updated: 21/06/13 9:21pm
Justin Rose: Being announced as US Open champion was 'sweeter moment than I thought it would be'
US Open champion Justin Rose returned to action with a three-under 67 to leave him six shots behind first-round leader Charley Hoffman at the Travelers Championship.
Rose, just four days removed from his major breakthrough at Merion, stuttered early on before finishing off his round in a blaze of birdies.
The Englishman picked up a shot at the first but then had three bogeys in reaching the turn at one over.
First round leaderboard
(US unless stated)
-9 C Hoffman
-8 H Mahan
-7 B Watson

But he birdied four of five holes from the 12th to finish the day in good shape.
Rose said: "I got to the first tee and there was a nice crowd assembled there. I felt very calm, focused and ready to play golf.
"And then that happened (introduced as US Open champion) and I felt a smile come across my face. It was a sweeter moment than I thought it would be."
Hoffman took advantage of good scoring conditions on the back nine at TPC River Highlands to come home in 28 shots, including eagles at the 10th and 13th.
He is one ahead of his fellow American Hunter Mahan, who briefly flirted with a 59 before parring the last three holes in his eight-under 62.
Former Masters champion Bubba Watson is a stroke further back after a 63, while Graham DeLaet, Zach Johnson, John Merrick, Rod Pampling, Webb Simpson and Camilio Villegas all managed 65s to sit in a share of fourth on five under.

LA CROSSE, WI (WXOW)-- Another Oktoberfest tradition continued Tuesday as children with special needs gathered at the south side fest grounds for Special Fester Day.
The event invites children from local school districts and other organizations to take part.
Adults helped the children enjoy carnival rides, play games, listen to music and eat some fest food.
But each child had his or her favorite part.
"Pick a duck," Hunter Nehring, Prairie View Elementary said. "Because I get to pick ducks."
"The rides," Shayla Hodgins, Holmen Middle School said. "The one that goes like the tilter whirl."
"Funtastic," Shariel Gillespie, Central High School said. "I love rides and I love to have fun. Fun is my deal. I like fun."
The special fester event began in 1988.

As the MEMS Revolution Takes Off, Small Is Getting Bigger Every Day
By Andrew Leonard
|MEMS Megafoundry
|Hi-Res Retina Displays
|Micro-Gyro Sensors
|Terabit Fiber-Optic Switches
Gnat-sized robots, microscopic gyroscopes, television beamed directly onto your retina. This may sound like a grocery list for a crazed sci-fi visionary. But all these projects are in the works today, thanks to an emerging chip technology known as microelectromechanical systems. While magical microbots may still be a few years away, MEMS are already a multibillion-dollar business in the car, printer, and display-projection industries.
Traditional chips are flat, static structures. MEMS, by contrast, are silicon wafers packed with kinetic, three-dimensional gizmos: laboratories, laser-guided mirrors, canals flowing with chemicals. An offshoot of the semiconductor industry, MEMS benefit from the well-known peculiarities of the silicon universe - every year chips get tinier, cheaper, and faster.
If proponents are correct, MEMS will soon be ubiquitous. There will be the far out (airborne micro flying machines, networked minibots) and the practical (disposable blood-pressure gauges, wearable pollution sensors). Within 20 years, there will be no avoiding MEMS: They will be in every telecom line, computer, and coffeemaker - even in our own bodies. As these sensors and actuators - devices that react to their environment - permeate the world, the fabric of daily existence will come alive.
Like the transistor and the microprocessor, MEMS are often described as a disruptive technology, as in change-the-world, turn-it-upside-down, rewrite-the-rules-of-the-game. Forget about the kind of incremental change that fits easily into business plans. MEMS advocates say we need to prepare for a wholesale overhaul.
The underlying technology is here, now, seeking funding and ready for deployment. Hundreds of companies and thousands of researchers around the globe are working on MEMS projects. Here's a look at five standouts, ranging from the fanciful to the front-and-center. Get ready to be disrupted.

About The George Washington University
Located four blocks from the White House, The George Washington University (GW) was created by an Act of Congress in 1821. Today, GW is the largest institution of higher education in the nation's capital. The university offers comprehensive programs of undergraduate and graduate liberal arts study as well as degree programs in medicine, public health, law, engineering, education, business and international affairs. Each year, GW enrolls a diverse population of undergraduate, graduate and professional students from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and more than 130 countries.
The IT team at GW set out to improve the university's collaboration capabilities while strengthening security and reliability. "Our goal is to provide a sustainable, highly efficient IT infrastructure to support the needs of faculty, staff and students," said Raoul Gabiam, IT operations and engineering manager for The George Washington University.
One key area in need of improvement was the university's e-mail system. "Users had access to the university's funded email system, but it didn't offer integrated calendaring and was limited in terms of information sharing," said Gabiam. "Our users are always on the run, and want access to their calendar and other information from their mobile devices."
GW was also determined to bring greater stability to its IT environment. Occasional hardware failures or application crashes were disrupting business and the university's workstations weren't managed in a consistent manner. "We needed to lock down workstations to prevent unauthorized downloads," said Eric Davis, senior information systems coordinator for The George Washington University. "Rogue computers are more vulnerable to worms, viruses and other issues."
At the same time, the university was looking to gain efficiency and lower costs. "Managing user requests for desktop troubleshooting, printer installation and other tasks was time-consuming and expensive," said Gabiam. "We were also struggling with storage consumption and its associated costs."
Novell Solution
"Many of our departments manage their own calendars, so it can be a challenge to keep up with what's going on," said Gabiam. "With Novell GroupWise® and BlackBerry Enterprise Server, users' e-mail and calendar appointments are automatically synchronized with their Blackberry devices, significantly increasing their productivity while they're on-the-go."
The university makes extensive use of SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server, and is considering moving additional environments to the platform to further reduce operating costs. In addition, GW leverages several components of Novell Open Enterprise Server, including iPrint, to further increase efficiencies. "It used to take us 20 minutes just to install a print driver, not to mention the travel time involved," said Davis. "Novell iPrint saves us several hours a day. We are also in the process of deploying Dynamic Storage Technology to identify infrequently accessed data and have it automatically offloaded to less expensive storage devices."
The university deployed Novell Cluster™ Services to ensure high availability and extend the lifecycle of its existing hardware. "We have several servers that are out of warranty, potentially putting us at risk if a piece of hardware failed," said Gabiam. "With Novell Cluster Services, we can continue to leverage hardware we purchased more than six years ago."
GW also relies on Novell ZENworks® to manage more than 3,000 Windows-based workstations across its two campuses. The university uses the Novell solution for application distribution, workstation imaging, patch management and remote control.
Novell GroupWise has brought greater efficiency to GW. "The collaboration and mobility features of Novell GroupWise are very popular with our users," said Gabiam. "Having two main campuses 30 miles apart, our users aren't always in the same location and have become dependent on the GroupWise Instant Messenger client. It's now part of our day-to-day operations."
By leveraging Novell Cluster Services, the university has improved reliability. "In the past, if a server failed in the middle of the night, we had to have someone on call to address it immediately," said Gabiam. "Using Novell Cluster Services, we've eliminated unplanned service downtime due to hardware failures."
Novell software has already proven helpful for driving down IT costs. "Without Novell Cluster Services, we would have had to replace our out-of-warranty servers, which would cost well over US$100,000," said Gabiam. "We also anticipate cutting our storage costs in half by using Novell Dynamic Storage Technology."
With Novell ZENworks in place, GW has gained a more stable workstation environment. "It's hard to imagine working without Novell ZENworks," said Davis. "We can deliver applications in a swift, standardized manner and with standardized desktops, troubleshooting has become much easier. We've also gained better control over patches and can quickly ascertain which computers are vulnerable and in need of updates."

Prior to coming to UVa, Laura was a Greenwall fellow in bioethics and health policy at Georgetown and Johns Hopkins, a Research Fellow in Philosophy at Queens College, Cambridge, and a member of the Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Law at the University of Cambridge.
Laura is currently working on a monograph, The Idea of Intellectual Property, to be published by Oxford University Press in 2014. The book explores the ontological and justificatory foundations of intellectual property, and puts forward a hybrid framework for the justification of intellectual property, drawing on both Kantian, communicative and Lockean, proprietary perspectives.
Lauras other research interests include political philosophy and taxation, bioethics, philosophy of religion and Kant's practical philosophy.

Jets grounded by injuries
ENGLEWOOD - Nobody feels sorry for the New York Jets, but the Denver Broncos realize the Jets team they'll face Sunday has been decimated by injuries.
The Jets, who won 10 regular-season games last year and narrowly missed advancing to the AFC championship game, have dealt with injuries to quarterbacks Chad Pennington and Jay Fiedler, offensive linemen Kevin Mawae and Jason Fabini and receiver Wayne Chrebet. The Jets are 2-7 and the starting quarterback will be Brooks Bollinger, a 2003 sixth-round pick who had nine career passes in the NFL before this season. "Sometimes when you have key injuries and guys getting hurt, it's always hard to come back from that," safety Nick Ferguson said. "This is a good team that has been put in a bad situation by injuries." The Broncos have avoided any major injuries this season. Cornerback Champ Bailey was slowed by a hamstring injury for most of the first half of the season, but Denver has been pretty healthy otherwise. "You can prepare real hard sometimes, but it's luck," safety John Lynch said. "We've been fortunate." CONTACT THE WRITER: 476-4891 or email@example.com.

Sioux Falls police say having no prior record put the shooter in Tuesday's murder-suicide back on the street.
Several woman had restraining orders against Tuesday's shooter—Tyrone Smith, 38, of Sioux Falls. The restraining orders date back to 2009. Captain Greg VandeKamp, Investigative Services, said Smith's girlfriend filed for a restraining order Sunday night after Smith allegedly strangled her with his hands.
Smith was arrested Sunday night around 11:00. He was charged with one count of simple assault, domestic, and one count of interfering with a communication device.
VandeKamp said the mother of Smith's children filed a restraining order while Smith was in jail. VandeKamp said the mother and two children found another place to stay during the time of the protection order.
Smith appeared in court at 1:30 Monday afternoon and was released from jail five hours later. At Wednesday's press conference, Police Chief Doug Barthel said Smith had no prior convictions so he was released on a Personal Recognizance Bond.

Friday morning you could hear the rumble of motorcycles near the state Capitol.
TxDOT launched their share the road campaign. The Patriot Guard of Texas was on hand as well as several APD motorcycle cops to bring attention to motorcycle safety.
Their motorcycles carried flags saying "look twice for motorcycles." They want those in cars to make sure they look for motorcyclists who can be hard to see.
"Unfortunately in the past 20 years I've been in law enforcement we've seen some very preventable yet tragic incidents that have occurred with motorcycles. Just here in Austin alone in 2012 we had 530 crashes involving motorcycles. Of those in 2012, 14 of them were fatalities where people lost their lives. That's 18 percent of the total fatalities for the city of Austin," said APD motorcycle officer Lt. Robert Richmond.
"It's definitely something we need to bring awareness… to watch out for bikes and also for bike awareness. Pay attention to the road. Some of the other drivers out there just aren't conscious of what's going on when bike riders are around them," said Patriot Guard member Karn Clausen.

Less than a year ago -- 11 months and two days, to be exact -- the Atlanta Falcons stood in the NFL spotlight. They met the San Francisco 49ers for the NFC championship and came within one play of going to the Super Bowl.
It's understandable that the ESPN programmers and NFL schedule makers felt sure they were setting the stage for a showdown -- possibly for home field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs -- when they scheduled the Falcons and 49ers to meet on the final Monday Night Football game of the season.
Things didn't quite work out that way, to say the least.
"Collapse" doesn't begin to describe the Falcons' astonishing fall from tying Denver for the best regular season record in the NFL at 13-3 to having a mathematical shot at tying for the worst record this season.
Granted, Houston will probably clinch that with a loss to Denver today.
Still, the fact remains that the only reward for this lost season high draft position and the chance to grab an impact defensive player like South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney or Alabama's C.J. Mosley or a much-needed offensive tackle like Texas A&M's Jake Matthews.
Kind of hard to believe, isn't it? Not the record, that is. They've played poorly and have had several critical injuries, and the schedule has been tougher thanks to last year's success.
What's hard to believe is just how a team that produced five consecutive winning seasons, including four playoff appearances, has just completely fallen apart over the course of the season.
It's baffling to look back on that season opener at New Orleans, where they were one play away from beating one of the best home-teams in the NFL.
Pick a play. The dropped touchdown pass by Stephen Jackson. Or perhaps the play where Tony Gonzalez was mugged and got no call.
Contrast that to last week's game against the Washington Redskins, a game so obscenely played by both teams that the FCC ought to at least have issued a warning.
How did they get from there to here? Injuries certainly hit this team hard. Roddy White, Julio Jones, Mike Johnson, Sam Baker, Kroy Biermann, Sean Weatherspoon, Akeem Dent, Asanti Samuel. And that's just the significant injuries to key players.
That doesn't count the normal bumps and bruises that virtually every NFL player has to deal with.
No team could sustain
those injuries and not feel it.
Still, it does deeper than injuries. They gambled on a patch work offensive line, and they lost. Matt Ryan has been hit more times than just about any quarterback in the league. There's no denying that Ryan himself has taken a step backward as an elite quarterback. The more he has tried to do to carry the team, the worse he has played as a result. But to lay much blame on Ryan would be misguided.
The Falcons are last in the NFL in running the football. Some of that can be attributed to Jackson's injuries and declining skills. But not even Adrian Peterson could gain positive yardage behind the Falcons' line.
The defense problems are too numerous to itemize. Poor against the run. No pass rush. Breakdowns in coverage. Missed tackles. Part of the problem is inevitable growing pains of playing so many rookies.
But the overriding problem with both the offensive line and the defense seems to be a lack of commitment by the front office to make those areas a priority.
As bleak as 2013 has been, 2014 is not without hope. There will be quality players on the free agent market. They can rebuild the offensive line and improve the defense through free agency and the draft. And they need to keep overhauling the defense until it's no longer a liability. It starts with making the defense and offensive line a priority.

I have only downloaded the Storm Chasers app to this point, but would highly recommend it. It has daily news, recaps, schedules, and roster info. While it is not a detailed statistical app, it is great for keeping updated. Oh yeah, it's also free. Not sure about the Blue Rocks app at this point, but I will likely get it soon. Also not sure if these are available for other devices or if Naturals or other teams will have one in the near future. Just wanted to make sure RR readers knew about this resource.

Clemson Defense Stifles Wake Forest In 60-44 Victory
CLEMSON, SC - Clemson held its second straight ACC opponent to 44 points in a 60-44 victory over Wake Forest on Tuesday at Littlejohn Coliseum. The Tigers held the Demon Deacons to 24.6 percent shooting, the second lowest field goal percentage by an ACC opponent against Clemson. Ironically enough, the lowest percentage against the Tigers by a league opponent was also by Wake Forest, who shot just 20 percent in a game in Winston-Salem on Jan. 4, 1964.
The win improved Brad Brownell's team to 10-6 on the season and 2-2 in the ACC. Wake fell to 9-7 overall, also 2-2 in conference play. Clemson is now 19-1 in Brownell's tenure when holding the opposition to 50 points or less.
K.J. McDaniels led Clemson in a number of statistical areas. The 6-foot-6 sophomore scored a game-high 14 points and grabbed a career-best nine rebounds. He also had seven blocked shots, another career-high, in an outstanding all-around performance. His seven blocks were the most by a Tiger since Jerai Grant had eight versus East Carolina in 2010.

The tolls, taken out in 1996 under Gov. Bill Weld, represent $10.5 million in turnpike income, according to transportation officials. Right now a car ride from Boston to Springfield costs $5.10, but any further travel west has no additional cost. So ask not for whom the tolls toll.

This will be followed by another five months of work requiring overnight closures. Happy motorists will be detoured on to Routes 1, 2, and 3, as well as Interstates 93 and 95.

Hiaasen, promoting his latest book Bad Monkey, said political corruption in Florida was not a state-wide conspiracy. "It's just a nonstop orgy of sleaze," he told the newspaper. "The great thing about Florida is usually the crooked public servants are really stupid," he said. "It's not like Boston or some other places where there's a certain skill or a certain style.

Deep reductions in allowable fish catch limits, she said, amounts to a "death penalty" for the fishing industry. She said she filed the suit in U.S. District Court out of "frustration" after pleas from the Patrick administration and the state's Congressional delegation were ignored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. Commerce Department and President Obama. "NOAA's new regulations are essentially a death penalty on the fishing industry in Massachusetts as we know it," Coakley said at a press conference held, naturally enough, on the Fish Pier in South Boston. –Peter Lucas ]]> 0 luke1825 http://blogs.lowellsun.com/polsandpolitics/?p=1556 2013-05-23T14:53:39Z 2013-05-23T14:53:39Z Eddie MacKenzie Jr., 54, the director of the church known as the Church on the Hill across the street from the Statehouse on Bowdon St., was arrested by federal agents Wednesday and charged with attempting to "systematically loot" church assets.

Just like the vast majority of voters are expected to do on Tuesday. –Peter Lucas ]]> 0 luke1825 http://blogs.lowellsun.com/polsandpolitics/?p=1542 2013-04-24T18:22:52Z 2013-04-24T18:22:52Z CNN's John King apologized Tuesday for wrongly reporting that two suspects had been arrested in the Boston Marathon a day later when no one had been captured for the atrocity. King said his mistake was a "double kick in the head" because he is a Boston native. King grew up in Dorchester. "When you do something like this, it's embarrassing," King said,. King is the network's chief national correspondent."We had two reputable sources, one mine and one of a colleague of mine," he said. "We went with it and we had to correct it." King said he grew up in the same neighborhood as the youngest victim, 8-year-old Martin Richard. "It's my city, too," King said, "so it's sort of a double kick in the head to me." King did not reveal his sources. –Peter Lucas ]]> 0

Get a feel for what the 49th state has to offer with one of our cheap flights to Alaska. In many ways, this vast state is the last frontier. In fact, The Last Frontier is its official nickname. Very few people who live in the lower 48, as the bulk of the United States is collectively known, ever get a chance to explore this fascinating place. With a flight to Alaska, you can hit the ground running. Whether you choose to fly into Juneau, its capital, or if you fly into Anchorage, its largest city, you'll never run out of things to see and do. After you arrive on a cheap flight to Alaska, be sure to rent a car. The distances in this state are so vast that it's impossible to even scratch the surface without a reliable vehicle. Another exciting and viable option is to book a cruise.
When it comes to planning a trip to what used to be known as "Seward's Folly," Alaska flights are just a tiny part of the equation. Due to the immense size of the state, which is the least densely populated in the union, it's important to zero in on a specific area for your visit. The Kenai Peninsula, which is south of Anchorage, is a nice option. Denali National Park, which is home to Denali or Mount McKinley (the highest peak in North America), is another worthwhile place to spend time. Keep in mind that Alaska is larger than the states of California, Texas and Montana combined, so you can't hope to see every last inch. Plenty of cheap flights to Alaska are available during the summer, so try to visit then so you can experience the midnight sun. It's one of those quintessential Alaskan experiences that is sure to stay with you for a long time.

I took my first trip to Sedona with my family ten years ago. From the moment we arrived, I was absolutely in love, and it remains one of my favorite places to visit (and where I hope to someday retire!).
The red rocks are the main attraction in Sedona. There, we took a Jeep tour, which is a fun (and bumpy) way to see the sites up close. The tour allowed us to get to areas that are off limits for hikers and gave us the opportunity to experience breathtaking views.
Another great place we found in Sedona was the Chapel of the Holy Cross, which sits nestled among the red rocks. From its perch, it gives a great opportunity to see some of the other well-known formations, including Bell Rock and Cathedral Rock.
Sedona also offers amazing artwork and jewelry from artisans who flock to the area. I always find something new and unique to bring home when I visit, and need to leave room in my suitcase for my finds!
So until my retirement, when I hope to take up permanent residence, Sedona will remain at the top of my list of vacation destinations, and the place I personally believe to be the most beautiful in the country.

The Illinois Supreme Court has struck down the Illinois Eavesdropping Act, one of the nation's toughest eavesdropping laws.
In a ruling handed down on Thursday, the justices said the law was so broad that it would make the recording of screaming fans at a football game a crime.
The Illinois Eavesdropping Act made it a felony for someone to record conversations unless all parties involved agreed.
State lawmakers will now have to draft new rules.

Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Jae Crowder scored 27 points, Darius Johnson- Odom had 21 and No. 10 Marquette handed Rutgers its sixth straight loss on Wednesday night, 82-65.
Vander Blue added 10 points for the Golden Eagles (23-5, 12-3 Big East), who have won four straight and 11 of their last 12.
Jerome Seagears had 14 points to lead the Scarlet Knights (12-16, 4-11) while Gilvydas Biruta scored 12 and Eli Carter 11.
Marquette had a 21-6 lead after five-plus minutes, with Crowder knocking down two three-pointers and completing a three-point play during a personal 9-0 run for the team.
"Whatever it takes for us to win games, we're trying to do," said Crowder.
But the Scarlet Knights bounced back, at least for a while, responding with a 12-4 burst to cut the deficit to seven on Seagears' jumper. Later, they were within four points twice.
But Marquette, sparked by Crowder and Johnson-Odom, scored 11 of the last 15 points in the first half to carry a 46-35 lead into the break. The Eagles shot 55.2 percent and Johnson-Odom scored 19 of his 21 points in the half.
Crowder had 14 points in the second half, including six in a 10-2 spurt that pushed a six-point Marquette lead to 14 with under 10 minutes to play. Rutgers was never closer than 13 the rest of the way and Marquette's lead grew as high as 18.
The Eagles scored 30 fastbreak points, including 18 in the second half.
"That's a new one for us," said Rutgers coach Mike Rice. "I thought [Johnson- Odom] and Crowder were tremendous. The whole team was tremendous on the break. If you can't stop somebody from putting their head down and scoring layups, you're not going to be successful. We certainly weren't tonight."

News: Raekwon Talks About His New "Canal Street" Video, "I Write Rhymes That Paint Clear Pictures" [Video]
Tuesday, Mar 30, 2010 5:10PM
Wu-Tang Clan's Raekwon recently discussed the creation of a music video for his song, "Canal Street."
Rae also talked about his ability to portray vivid images with his lyrics.
"I write rhymes that paint clear pictures," he said in an interview. "You can almost close your eyes and see every scene, character and location. I feel like every song off the album deserves it's own visual. The video for 'Canal Street' is another installment." (XXL Mag)
The video's director LaMarck also discussed working with Rae on the visual.
"Coming up, Raekwon was my favorite artist, so doing the video with him was a career highlight," the director said. "He's a visionary who know what he wants. CL2 was so cinematic. His style of MCing has always been so vivid and clear. That makes creating a visual counterpart easy. Most importantly, Rae knows what he's looking for. He comes in with a direction, but is also open to the collaboration of ideas." (XXL Mag)
The rapper's latest solo project debuted on the sales charts last September.
Wu-Tang Clan's Raekwon has returned to store shelves with his long-delayed Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Part 2 landing at No. 4. The Chef's new album has sold a total of 67,900 records after one week on store shelves. (SOHH Sales Wrap)
His music has also caught the attention of artists like renowned singer Sade.
"I love Alicia Keys," Sade said in an interview earlier this year. "I like some of the tracks off Rihanna's new album. I like some more heavy rappers like Raekwon's album from the Wu-Tang Clan. I listen to just about anything that speaks to me." ("Tom Joyner Morning Show")

Catholic World News News Feature
Visit the Holy Land, Melkite prelate pleads October 03, 2007
A Melkite Catholic archbishop has urged Christians of the Western world to "visit the living stones of the Holy Land, the Christians who live there," the Fides news service reports. Speaking at Westminster cathedral in London, on the 60th anniversary of the Catholic relief organization Aid to the Church in Need, Archbishop Elias Chacour recalled that Jesus was born in Galilee and that Christians in the Holy Land are the direct descendants of "the first men and women who heard the Good News."
"My forefathers were the first to listen to Jesus and be fascinated by what He had to say," Archbishop Chacour said. "We have kept the faith for over 2000 years." Acknowledging that violence and bloodshed have cast a shadow across the Holy Land, the archbishop reminded his listeners that "there is also the news of the empty tomb, where Jesus the Christ was laid and is risen."
"It is important to visit the holy places, but it is even more important to visit the living stones, the Christians living in the Holy Land today," the archbishop continued. "Come and visit us, make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. We will make you welcome. Come and see."
Archishop Chacour recalled that Christians in the Holy Land are dwindling in numbers as many continue to emigrate, to escape the danger and the tragic economic situation: "In 1948, 60% of the people in Bethlehem were Christians," he pointed out. "Today we are less than 10%. In 1948 there were more than 45,000 Christians in Jerusalem. Today there are only about 7,000."
The archbishop called on Christians around the world to help his people-- but not by opposing Jews or Muslims: "There as already been too much violence in Palestine," he said.
Archbishop Chacour is deeply committed to promoting peace in the Holy Land. Three times a Nobel Peace Prize candidate, he is, an Arab nationalized as an Israeli citizen, a well known figure for his activity to promote dialogue and in the field of education. He opened the first mixed university for Jewish and Palestinian students, and in the village of Ibillin in Galilee, where he was parish priest for many years, he opened Mar Elias School which has 4,000 pupils.

Attorney 'shocked' by murder charge
Bouquets of flowers have been placed at the entrance to the abandoned City Concrete plant at 2 Hampton Road in Exeter in memory of Amanda "Amy" Warf, whose body was found inside last week. (JASON SCHREIBER/Union Leader Correspondent)
He was even more surprised when he learned that Warf's ex-husband, Aaron Desjardins, was charged in her murder.
Coughlin, a Portsmouth lawyer, was representing Desjardins while he and Warf ironed out the details of a parenting plan for their 11-month-old son, William, in the Brentwood Family Court.
Coughlin was hired just after their divorce was final in February 2012 and says he never saw any serious problems between the two.
They may have disagreed at times like many divorced couples, but Coughlin said it was nothing unusual.
"I hear about these things happening, and sometimes when I'm involved in a particular case I wonder if something bad might happen because of the nature of my client or the nature of the opposing party," he said. "This case didn't have that. It's surprising that he might somehow be involved."
The last time Coughlin spoke with Desjardins was a few weeks before prosecutors say he killed Warf by slitting her throat.
The body of the 36-year-old mother who worked at Exeter Hospital was discovered on the second floor of the abandoned City Concrete factory on Hampton Road in Exeter on March 7. Firefighters found her body while responding to a fire that prosecutors say was intentionally set, though Desjardins hasn't been charged with arson.
Just a few days after telling reporters he had nothing to do with her murder and that someone else had done it, Desjardins, 36, was arrested at gunpoint near his Epping home Tuesday and charged with first-degree murder.
Coughlin said he believes Warf and Desjardins were still seeing a co-parent counselor at the time of the killing and had a hearing scheduled in May.
"They were working on the minutia, the logistics of the parenting time that they would spend with William, but they had pretty much equally divided it, and they were trying to figure out when transfers would occur and things like that," Coughlin said.
Before his arrest, Desjardins told the New Hampshire Union Leader that he and Warf had "come to full agreement" on custody of their son.
"We were just going to put the ink on the paper," he said at the time, suggesting that all was well between him and Warf.
Unlike some couples, Warf and Desjardins didn't seem to have a problem getting together to work out their issues.
"They could meet in the same room. There were no domestic violence aspects of the case. No restraining orders," Coughlin said. "If it turns out that he was aggressive toward her during this event I certainly never saw evidence of that when I observed them dealing with each other."
At times, even Desjardins' new wife, Sarah, would attend meetings with Coughlin when Warf was also present. Court documents hinted at some tension between the two women in the past, but Coughlin said Sarah was "very helpful with him in parenting William."
According to Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan Morrell, William is now being cared for by other family members while Desjardins remains held without bail at the Rockingham County jail. He is due back in court for a probable cause hearing on March 22 at the 10th Circuit Court in Brentwood.

Bengals take S Shawn Williams in 3rd round
CINCINNATI (AP) - The Bengals chose safety Shawn Williams from Georgia in the third round of the NFL draft,
Cincinnati has been trying to shore up the position for several years. Williams was the second defensive player taken by the Bengals.
The Bengals opened their draft by taking Notre Dame tight end Tyler Eifert in the first round. They had two picks in the second round and went with running back Giovani Bernard from North Carolina and defensive end Margus Hunt, a track and field star-turned-football player from Estonia and SMU.
Also Friday, the Bengals agreed to a three-year deal with right tackle Andre Smith, who had been an unrestricted free agent. The deal allows Cincinnati to return its offense intact from last season.
Tennessee OL Thomas drafted by Miami in 3rd round
DAVIE, Fla. (AP) - Offensive lineman Dallas Thomas of Tennessee has been selected by the Miami Dolphins in the third round of the NFL draft.
The 6-foot-5, 310-pound Thomas was the 77th overall selection Friday. He started at left tackle for two seasons with Tennessee but switched to guard as a senior.
Miami has been in the market for a replacement for Pro Bowl left tackle Jake Long, who departed to the St. Louis Rams via free agency. Trade talks cooled Thursday between the Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs, who have been shopping veteran tackle Branden Albert.
The Dolphins' second-round pick was cornerback Jamar Taylor of Boise State.

BALTIMORE (AP) - Chris Tillman pitched eight innings of one-hit ball, Ryan Flaherty hit his first career grand slam and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Boston Red Sox 9-1 Friday night to secure their grip on the top AL wild-card spot.
Chris Davis also homered for the Orioles, who started the day one game behind the first-place Yankees in the AL East.
Tillman (9-2) gave up a bunt single to leadoff hitter Scott Podsednik, then allowed only two walks the rest of the way in his longest outing since July 4. The right-hander retired the final 14 batters he faced, and the only run he allowed was unearned.
Troy Patton worked the ninth to complete the one-hitter.
The Red Sox have lost 14 of 20. Starter Aaron Cook was knocked out in the second inning after allowing six runs, five hits and three walks.

Wayne E. Keller's July 22 column in The Olympian urges us to shake off lethargy and to act responsibly. We old-timers – trim from daily chores, reasonable food portions – recycle, conserve, save, make do. So he is alerting younger generations.
Our household of two on a well and septic system captures rainwater in 17 30-gallon coverable containers. We bathe in tandem, after catching the cold water in basins, bottles or a pail. The cold bathwater flushes the toilet. Kitchen sink water ends up on shrubs. Empty milk jugs filled with rescued water line our garage by the dozens or hide behind shrubs for yard emergencies. Into some empty milk jugs, I carved larger openings designating them as scoopers (from rain bins to plants). The only chemicals reaching our yard are from washing bought fruits and vegetables.
Contrary to county statements – topography varies – our road's rainwater runs not into the gully but toward our garage in front of which we had a "speed bump" installed.
During rain, we occasionally wipe down our car. As a World War II survivor used to hardships, I've always applied myself to doing when not reading, resting or writing.
Aware of our ever-changing, increasingly more populous world, I try to consume but a minimum and cherish channel 75 Classical Arts showcase renditions as rewards.

I am at 89%, and I have racked up approximately 25 hours on hard. Yes really. A bit is probably me leaving the ps3 paused, but still... never in the history of gaming has one person explored so much of the environment while almost never moving faster than a gentle stroll.
I'm debating whether to go NG+ after, or try Survivor. Either way I will almost certainly miss with every shot, and resort to bludgeoning everything in my path. Joel is a fucking tank.

IT'S THE FIRST competitive meeting between Northampton and Leinster since that incredible 2011 Heineken Cup final.
The Saints are out for revenge, but Leinster are bringing the majority of Joe Schmidt's nearly men to Franklin's Gardens (KO 18.00) confident that they can beat anybody.
The Saints are weakened by the absence of George Pisi, Ben Foden and Kahn Fotuali'i, but they can still boast plenty of quality to add to that desire for revenge.
Here's where we think the game will be won and lost.
Courtney Lawes v Devin Toner
One of the major driving forces behind Ireland's performance against New Zealand was the performance of Devin Toner. Put simply, we've never seen the lengthy lock play with such precision and aggression.
Courtney Lawes has plenty of muscle to make himself felt, but until this season precision has been his problem. Saints will look to Lawes to give them an advantage in the engine room, but if Toner can bring the same attitude he confronted Sam Whitelock and Brodie Retallick with, then Lawes will have his hands very, very full.
Lee Dickson v Eoin Reddan
Dickson is probably an inferior scrum-half to Fotuali'i, but he too brings a physical presence on top of his distribution game.
During the Schmidt years, Reddan often found himself selected as a 'home' number nine with Isaac Boss handed the reins on the road. Up against the England international, this is Reddan's chance to perhaps make Schmidt review those past decisions by vindicating this Matt O'Connor selection with a high tempo to put Saints on the back foot.
George North v Dave Kearney
Like Toner, the younger Kearney was one of those men in green who played out of their skin against new Zealand, far above anything they had produced before. However, matching up opposite Corey Jane is one thing, but George North brings a whole different challenge to the table (just ask Israel Folau).
Kearney will look to keep close tabs on the Welsh wing, chopping him low, fast, before he can build up a head of steam. And if he can kick in behind him and make him turn, all the better.
