AFC North will play the AFC South and the NFC East (double trouble for the AFC North as the AFC South and NFC East are the two toughest divisions in the league)
Ravens were 5-11 in 07. They will also play Oakland and at Miami.
Ravens have always been about D. LB Ray Lewis is back for his 13th season, but they have some young LB's also (Bart Scott, Terrell Suggs, and rookie Tavaris Gooden, a third round pick out of Miami). The D line has some gray also, with Trevor Pryce starting his 12th year, and NT Kelly Gregg starting his 9th, but DE Haloti Ngata was a first round pick out of Oregon in 06. The secondary has two 30 year old corners (Chris McAlister and Samari Rolle, and safety Ed Reed, one of the best when healthy, and Dawan Landry are good. But Reed has a chronic shoulder problem, and will probably need surgery sometime - can he make it through this year?
The D should be OK, but the O presents many questions. QB, for example. Steve McNair retired last April, after an injury riddled season where he missed ten games, including the last seven. McNair was 133 - 205 for 1,113 yards when he played, while his replacement, Kyle Boller, was 168 - 275 - 1,743, so you can't really blame Boller for the 5-11 record (after 13-3 in 06). But the Ravens aren't happy with Boller (which is why they signed McNair in 06). Boller was a first round pick out of Cal in 03, but the Ravens drafted Troy Smith out of Ohio State last year and Joe Flacco out of Delaware this year (first round). Flacco played the entire game last night at St. Louis (Smith sat out with the flu) and was a respectable 18-37-152 with one TD and no INT's. Ravens brought in Cam Cameron as the O coordinator. This after the firing of head Coach Brian Billick, replaced by rookie HC John Harbaugh. So, lots of changes, the O line is young, the wides are OK but not great, and I figure the Ravens are looking at 5-11 again, at best.
Bengals were 7-9 last year. They will play the AFC South and the NFC East, and also Kansas City and at the Jets.
Ah, the Cincinnati Bengals. What a hassle for Coach Marvin Lewis to try to herd these guys around (you know the old expression - 'like trying to herd cats'?). They've had more players arrested, suspended, etc., than any other team the last few years. Lewis has tried to instill some discipline but recently got dissed by the owner, Mike Brown. Here's what happened: wide out Chris Henry, who is a very good receiver but not a very good person, got dropped from the team after the league announced a four game suspension. Lewis went on record July 22 that Henry would not be allowed back on the team. Then Brown re-signed him a month later. What's that going to do to Lewis' efforts to herd cats in the locker room?
Bengals have a lot of great wides, including the self styled Ocho Cinco, Chad Johnson, who tried a holdout this summer to get a new contract, despite having signed a multi-year contract in 06. Frankly, despite the talent of these two guys, I wouldn't want either of them on my team. Bengals do have T.J. Houshmandzadeh, who led the league in catches last year with 112 (for 1,143 yards), and had 12 TD's. T.J. will be a free agent after this year, and I'd gladly take him on my team. Because of the problems, the Bengals drafted three wides this year, one in the 2nd and one in the 3rd. All of these guys will have Carson Palmer throwing to them, and he's one of the best QB's in the league. But the O line may have problems, with both tackles (Jones and Anderson) having injury problems last year. And it might be noted that Carson Palmer got sacked three times last night by the Saints - the last one left him with a bloody nose, a cut lip, and an early exit from the game. The RB position has its issues, with Rudi Johnson coming off an injury plagued year; but with Chris Perry, Kenny Irons, and Kenny Watson available, the RB situation looks OK.
Bengals have been about O, not D lately. O was 10th in 07, D was 27th. Bengals let three D starters leave in free agency, signaling a rebuild kind of thing for the D. They drafted LB Keith Rivers out of USC in the first round and DT Pat Sims from Auburn in the 3rd.
If Henry and Johnson settle down, Palmer can get the ball to them, but with a young D I gotta figure the Bengals and Ravens will battle for the AFC North cellar.
Browns were 10-6 last year, and just missed the playoffs. They will play the AFC South and the NFC East and also Denver and at Buffalo.
A year ago, the Browns had no proven QB, and a new O coordinator (Rod Chudzinski). QB's included Charlie Frye, Ken Dorsey (in his 5th year out of Miami) and Derek Anderson (3rd year out of Oregon State). Dorsey was a 7th round pick by the Niners in 03, and the Browns traded Trent Dilfer to get Dorsey. Derek Anderson was drafted by the Ravens in the 6th round in 06, then cut after the pre season, then picked up by the Browns. Frye had shown some promise after being drafted in the 3rd round by the Browns in 05, and he started the first game against the Steelers, but went 4-10-40 yards and one INT. He was promptly traded to the Seahawks for a 6th round pick, and Derek Anderson became the sensation of the league last year. Coming out of nowhere, he passed for 3,787 yards and 29 TD's. Prior to the season, the Browns moved up in the first round of the draft to take Brady Quinn out of Notre Dame, but Anderson has kept Quinn on the bench. Maybe a good thing - in yesterday's game against the Lions, Quinn was not mighty.
Anyway, one Browns observer has opined that the offense looks a whole lot better this year as opposed to last, since the O has settled in with Chudzinski's system. Browns have Braylon Edwards at wide (1,289 yards last year) and Kellen Winslow at tight end (1,106 yards). RB Jamal Lewis ran for 1,304 yards (4.4 per carry) last year, and added 248 yards on 30 receptions. Browns used their first first round pick last year on LT Joe Thomas, who quickly became the LT every one wants for their team. The rest of the O line is pretty good.
Browns O was 8th in the league last year, but the D was 30th. They brought in two defensive tackles in trades, Corey Williams who had been franchised by Green Bay, and huge Shaun Rogers from Detroit. Rogers is one of the very best DT's in the league, but the rap has been that he often doesn't show up. But they say that he has been a new person in Cleveland. LB's and DB's are mostly young, but they ought to be better than last year.
If the O is better than last year (and it should be, barring a wierd slump), and the D can be even a little better, the Browns could live up to the expectations of the Cleveland faithful.
Steelers were 10-6 last year and won the division over the Browns because they beat the Browns twice. Steelers will also play the AFC South and the NFC East and also San Diego and at New England.
Steelers have owned this division for a few years now, with competition from the Ravens and the Bengals. This year the competition will mostly come from the Browns. Steelers let their disgruntled OG Alan Faneca, a 7 time pro bowler, go to the Jets. This is not good news for QB Ben Roethlisberger, who was sacked 47 times last year (and 46 in 06). Ben's a big boy and can take a hit, but how many sacks will he have in 08, with Faneca gone? Steelers are hoping that huge (6'3', 344) Chris Kemoeatu, a fifth round draft pick in 05 from Utah, can fill the bill. Charlie Batch, a very good back up QB, may be out for the season with an injury, so the Steelers brought in Byron Leftwich, who has looked good despite the late start.
RB Willie Parker might have become the first Steeler to lead the league in rushing (since Bullet Bill Dudley did it in 1946) last year if not for a busted fibula on the first play of the 15th game. LaDainian Tomlinson ended up with the league lead at 1,474 yards to Parker's 1,316. Parker seems to be totally healthy (the fibula is the small bone in the lower leg that doesn't really do anything). Packers drafted Rashard Mendenhall in the first round (Illinois) to complement Parker. Steelers still have Hines Ward, but Santonio Holmes may become the go to guy. Steelers drafted 6'4' Limas Sweed (Texas) in the second round to provide depth and a future, and TE Heath Miller is good.
The D was one of the best in the league last year, and with not many age or injury problems, you can expect them to be good this year also. So, if the O line can hold up, the Steelers will be good again this year.
Browns or Steelers to win the division this year? It'll be snowing before we have an answer.

Advise on start up costs and materials required for reusable sanitary pad project
We really need volunteers to work out costings and other information for this initial startup please.
Shortly we will add on a basic kit pattern and materials needed for sanitary kit so this can be worked out better. We are currently researching the best one. From this we will create a list of materials needed. Then the volunteer must find out the costs of the materials that can be bought locally in the region of the Project. It may be that some materias may even not be available locally, this too is part of this process. Or a substitute may be looked into.

Help us get reading books, reference books and toys for the Community Resource Centre
Nakyerongosa village started a community resource centre after observing the need for such a facility in the area. The idea came about as a result of support from a retired community trainer who donated a few of his books because he wanted to give something back to the community. COMASA officials sensitised schools and community members about the programmes at the Centre. Since then people have realised the importance of the resource centre as a source of knowledge and it is making a world of difference for children whose schools are too poor to afford books.

It's another day in small town Georgia. Even the cops pay no attention to Gator and Rock, who are out running errands. On this day, the mail needs to be picked up, but along they way they'll pick up a few looks. Nothing but bills, so Rock and Gator will throw back a few sodas on their way home.
"He loves the Mountain Dew. He will drink a few diet Dr. Peppers, but he would rather have the Dew."
Loren, who goes by Gator, got rock as a Christmas gift. He looks like Georgia's mascot, Uga, but don't tell Gator that.
"Don't care about no football. They give you the ball and then come after you. If you didn't want me to have it then why did you give it to me?"
He also looks like his owner. Well, you be the judge. But they do act alike.
"He is like a big rock, just falls around. Now I am trying to teach to use and flush the toilet." Getting rock on the wagon was no trouble. Getting Rock to quit eating the wagon is another story. But Gator's 80-pound best friend all heart, and he doesn't mean no harm
"A dog is like a woman, if you train them right and ease them into it they will do whatever you need."
So in this town, everything on the road is not what it seems. Just ask the folks in Morgan, and they'll tell you the story about a man and his dog riding off into the sunset. Gator says Rock's favorite meal is cat. They can be found wandering the streets of Morgan, which is in the center of Calhoun County.

By MONA NAIR6 News Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) – A high-tech crime ring targeting Best Buy stores may be behind the burglary of stores in Knoxville and Murfreesboro.
Murfreesboro police say at least eight burglars hit a Best Buy store in that city on Tuesday. The thieves stole more than $100,000 in electronics.
Detectives are trying to determine if Tuesday's crime is connected to a similar one in West Knoxville.
Officials think the way criminals have operated in crimes out of Florida, California, and Knoxville is similar to the Murfreesboro burglary.
In the Murfreesboro crime, surveillance video shows a stolen car crashing in through a garage door. The thieves left with laptops, iPads and other devices.
Murfreesboro detectives speculate the thieves may have thought the electronic store had stocked the new iPhone 5, but the new smart phone had not been released in stores yet.
"Investigators are working with detectives from California, Florida, and Knoxville, Tennessee," Murfreesboro Police Sgt. Kyle Evans said.
Knoxville police say a burglary at the Best Buy store near North Peters Road is similar to the Murfreesboro crime.
"There were four or five individuals who went into the store. They were in there a very short amount of time and they left with several laptops, virus software, things like that," said Knoxville Police Department spokesperson Darrell DeBusk.
DeBusk said electronics worth thousands of dollars were taken, including iPads.
According to the Knoxville Police Department report, the burglars forced their way in through one of the delivery doors after hours. It says the men appeared to be wearing hoodies, gloves and masks.
"If it is connected, and if they keep doing this, there will be a break in the case," DeBusk said. "There's going to be a slip up in the case. It's going to lead one of these police agencies to make an arrest."
Best Buy officials say they are cooperating with authorities to solve the crimes.
Anyone with information on the burglaries is asked to call the Knoxville Police Department's antonymous tip line at (865) 215-7212.

Don't go to the fridge when Paul Daley's fighting, because the British bomber has delivered some of the most memorable knockouts in recent mixed martial arts (MMA) history. Vicious stoppages of Martin Kampmann and Dustin Hazelett seemed to usher in a potential Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) star, but his disappointing decision loss to Josh Koscheck, and subsequent post-fight assault of "Kos," got him cut from the organization.
Tonight (March 3, 2012), "Semtex" and his punching power will once again be on display when he takes on Kazuo Misaki at the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, during a Welterweight scrap that will air live on Showtime.
Misaki has proven one of the more reliable mid-tier middleweight contenders in recent years that few stateside fans are familiar with. Experienced and crafty, he relies on quickness and exploiting openings rather than brute force.
In other words, he's the complete opposite of Daley.
Follow me after the jump for a complete breakdown of the Strikeforce fight between Paul Daley vs. Kazuo Misaki:
The Breakdown
Daley's epic one-round war with Nick Diaz remains one of the most thrilling fights in Strikeforce history, but he came up short there, too. Since then, Daley's been blanketed by Tyron Woodley to a decision loss, and took two judges' nods in subsequent fights. He's not one-dimensional, as his takedown defense and grappling have proven serviceable, but it just seems like he can't get over that next level of opposition, especially when faced with a good wrestler.
The weight cut is a factor for both, for different reasons – Daley is notorious for having trouble making the 170-pound limit, while Misaki is reducing down after a long career at Middleweight, where he was clearly undersized, like most Japanese fighters.
Stamina is always a factor in fights, but Daley's style in this matchup probably reduces its importance – he's either going to nail Misaki early or lose anyways. He's not likely to take a decision here, as Misaki is too clever and versatile, especially on the ground.
The Pick
Daley's huge punching power, particularly with his left hand, is something you're born with, and very few of us, at that. His upper-body strength is a key element in how he shucks off takedowns, as he has the frame of a middleweight. He'll disengage, step back and unload on opponents.
Misaki's best chance in the standing game is to use low-risk, high-percentage kicks, such as teeps and lower leg strikes, to keep Daley guessing and worried about different levels Misaki is attacking. Assuming Kazuo makes the weight cut comfortably (always a big 'if' when a fighter drops down a weight class), he can spend some time figuring out Daley's timing on the feet, which is a huge factor.
When Daley catches people early, they tend to go to sleep. Misaki's mix of kicks, spry movement, and changing angles will also help him get a bead on when to eventually tie up and force a clinch, so he can work for a takedown. It's doubtful Misaki can get the first one, as Daley's exceptionally strong, but Daley seems to lose stamina quickly in extended grappling exchanges, often getting frustrated, as Woodley and Jake Shields were able to do. He will look like hell on wheels, but go through a half-life of effectiveness, ultimately getting taken down where he seems to wilt once he realizes, yet again, he's planted on the mat out of his comfort zone.
This is definitely a fight Daley can win, but Misaki is exceptionally durable and a tough veteran. He'll have too many riddles, angles and options, and he'll dictate and dominate with takedowns and measured ground work to grind out a decision win.
Misaki via decision
Be sure to join MMAmania.com later this evening for LIVE round-by-round, blow-by-blow coverage of the Strikeforce main card action, which is slated to air at 10 p.m. ET on Showtime. The latest quick updates of the live action will begin to flow earlier than that around 8:00 p.m. ET with the "Prelims" bouts on Showtime Extreme.
See you then!

Broncos, Bears agree on deal for Cutler
The Denver Broncos announced Thursday that they have agreed in principle to trade QB Jay Cutler to the Chicago Bears. Terms of the deal have not been announced.
from NFL.com
Well crap, he really couldn't have gone to a worse team from our perspective. I guess we can expect the Bears to be losing at least their first round draft pick. Oh well, at least they don't have any wide receivers?

James Foad
Rio 2016 Olympiad: 2013 - 2016
James has been selected to compete in the men's pair for the 2014 World Rowing Championships in Amsterdam. This selection follows James' result at the final 2014 Rowing World Cup in Lucerne where, paired with Matt Langridge, he won a superb silver. Before joining with Matt Langridge in the pair, James raced in the men's eight winning silver at the Rowing World Cup in Aiguebelette and bronze in Belgrade at the 2014 European Championships. At the GB Rowing Team Senior and U23 Trials James came 6th in the men's pair with Ollie Cook.
At the 2013 World Rowing Championships in Chungju, James raced in the men's pair with Oliver Cook. The duo won the 'B Final' comfortably, finishing 7th overall.
London 2012 Olympiad: 2009 – 2012
James rowed in the men's eight in each of the four years of the London Olympiad.
During the 2012 World Cup Series the men's eight won silver in Belgrade and Lucerne and bronze in Munich and rounded off the season with an Olympic bronze medal at the 2012 Games in London.
During the 2011 World Cup Series the men's eight took a silver medal behind Germany in Munich and a bronze in Lucerne. At the 2011 World Rowing Championships in Bled, they won a silver medal after rowing through opposition from Canada and Australia. Germany won the gold.
At the 2010 World Rowing Championships on New Zealand's Lake Karapiro, James won a fine silver medal in the eight. This was an excellent step on for the crew, who were only six-tenths of a second behind the reigning world champions, Germany, as they crossed the line.
James raced with the senior men's squad in 2009, winning a bronze medal in the eight at the first World Cup in Banyoles, and was placed 8th in the second British men's four in Munich. He also raced in the men's pair at the 2009 World U23 Championships, where he finished 8th.
Beijing 2008 Olympiad: 2005 – 2008
In 2008 James gave up his job to focus on his rowing and won the Britannia Cup at Henley.
During 2007 James decided to trial for the U23 team and also joined Molesey Boat Club. Unfortunately 3 days before the final trials in Belgium he became injured on the club training camp which put him out for the rest of the season.
In 2006 James took a year out from trialling for any GB teams so that he could work full time for an insurance company but continued to row when he could.
Beyond the Boat
James started rowing at the age of 11 at Itchen Rowing Club, following in his father's footsteps. By the time he was 17 he had won the Junior Sculls Championships for the Hants and Dorset region and was the youngest person to win this. The following year he trialled for the GB Junior Team and was selected to row in the M4+ at the World Junior Championships in Brandenburg.
James is Lottery Funded though UK Sport.

I was talking to my friend, a UK fan, while we watched the MD game yesterday, and when he mentioned how large Mitchell and Cleare were, I mentioned that they had actually cut a lot of fat since they got to the campus. We then moved on to discussing the muscle mass Len had put on and the number of calories he had consumed over the summer, and he pointed me to this article by Calipari: http://www.coachcal.com/19314/2012/12/lets-focus-on-rules-that-matter-and-let-our-kids-eat/
So comparing that to Prewitt's blog post a few weeks back on Terrapins Insider on the Terps customized diets, I began to wonder if we were going to see some of the same negative effects from limitations on calories provided to students. I'm not familiar with the mealplan system at UK, nor am I familiar with how the athletes at Maryland get their food, so I was wondering if anyone here might have more insight. Anybody know how the Terps get their food? Is this an actual problem for our athletes as well? Is this even a real issue as well or is Calipari just whining as usual? Is Len still getting 6,000 calories a day?

LILLY PAD: Lilly Pulitzer and Bloomingdale's brought a little slice of Broadway to the retailer's 59th Street flagship Thursday evening. The two companies, in partnership with the producers of "Legally Blonde, the Musical," threw a cocktail party featuring two of the show's stars, Laura Bell Bundy and Christian Borle (both appropriately clad in Pulitzer apparel). The duo sang "Take It Like a Man," from the new show's finale, in the retailer's New View department, and signed autographs as shoppers perused the first shipment of Pulitzer's summer collection. Among the most popular offerings: a $298 little black dress produced especially for Bloomingdale's — a version of Pulitzer's existing cotton eyelet Billie sundress.
WALL STREET SHUFFLE: Time is of the essence in the financial district, but it never hurts to tell it in style. In celebration of the opening of its Wall Street store on June 21, Hermès will introduce a limited edition of 10 Cape Cod 1928 watches in rose gold with a havane crocodile strap. The watch costs $25,000. "Our watch business continues to grow very nicely. It's moving into a higher scale, more sophisticated movements and also in terms of higher value," said Robert Chavez, president and chief executive officer of Hermès USA. "Wall Street is one of those great opportunities. The financial district is almost like a city unto itself. We're going to have the opportunities for clients who don't typically go uptown." Chavez said the firm was looking to open additional stores in the U.S. A store in Bergen County, N.J., will open in November and he is looking at Denver; Scottsdale, Ariz., and San Diego. The new watch surely will strike a chord with Wall Streeters — each comes with a crocodile humidor, perfect for storing those post-deal stogies.

PLAYERS: AJ Burnett, Jameson Taillon, Kyle Waldrop, Casey Sadler
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Pirates
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Pirates
A.J. Burnett led a day of strong starting pitching across the entire organization. Photo Credit: David Hague. Wednesday was probably the best day of system-wide starting pitching you could ask for. First there was A.J. Burnett, who led the pitching staff in throwing a one-hitter. Not just a one-hitter, but a one-hitter against the best team in the division. James Santelli did a great job breaking down the start in this article. Then there were the starters in the minors, who combined for 24.2 shutout innings. Those starters included top prospect Jameson Taillon, who threw seven shutout innings with six strikeouts. John Eshleman was at the game and has a report on the outing. Nick Kingham, another top pitching prospect, also had a great outing. Kingham threw six shutout innings with two hits, one walk, and seven strikeouts. John Kuchno is an interesting arm, and probably profiles more as a power reliever down the line. But he added five shutout innings this time around. Kyle Waldrop threw 6.2 shutout innings in a spot start for Indianapolis, extended his shutout streak to ten innings to start the year. Waldrop is an extreme ground ball pitcher, and could be a depth option for the Pirates at some point this year. Casey Sadler threw yesterday in a game that was suspended and finished today. The day becomes even more impressive if you include his one run in seven innings. Having the ace of your major league staff leading the team to a one-hitter is great. Having your second best pitching prospect and a potential top of the rotation starter throw seven shutout is also great. You always want to see a breakout candidate like Nick Kingham putting up strong results. And it's good to see a prospect with a promising arm and a potential depth option for the 2013 season both have good outings. But to have all of that on the same day? That's a day of pitching that you don't see often. Links and Notes **The 2013 Prospect Guide and the 2013 Annual are both available on the products page of the site.

When we launched Papers2 in March we knew we still had quite a bit of ground to cover. In March you saw the results of two years of hard work by an amazing team of people.
Although Papers2 might have looked familiar, it was built completely from scratch.
The reason for doing this was so we would be able to make Papers even better in the future, laying the groundwork for some awesome features like the new annotation support in Papers 2.1 and many others that are still to come. The downside is that some of the Papers1 features you were used to, did not make it for the release deadline in March.
We could not just move around some code to bring all Papers1 features to Papers2. Because we were working from the ground up, the foundation that had to be build to accommodate some technically challenging features was very different from Papers1. You can't build a Cadillac on the framework for a Beetle, and we could not create the features we wanted on top of the Papers1 foundation.
Although there were some technical challenges to be overcome, we promised it was just a matter of time before we brought back all the Papers1 features to Papers2. We knew the blue search tokens were sorely missed, and when we build unified search we also had to do some more work to bring back the search tokens.
Now, it is time for a new Papers2 experience: Papers 2.1
If you were waiting to switch from Papers1 to Papers2 because you could not imagine your workflow without the blue search tokens, then we'd love to welcome you to a new and improved Papers experience. Searching multiple repositories at once with unified search, and using search tokens to refine your query, guarantees you will find the exact papers you want, faster.
When libraries grow, duplications are a common occurrence. We made it easy to bring organization to your library with author merging in Papers1, and now this feature is back again in Papers2.1. Some Papers1 features are still missing, such as journal merging, papers archives, and recent papers for authors and journals. These are still on their way, and will make their Papers2 debut in Papers2.2. You can stay on top of what is coming next on our roadmap.
Aside from bringing familiar features back, we have worked on expanding the number of features in Papers2.
Annotation support was high on the wish list. If it was on your wish list as well, then Santa came early this year because we've made annotations a reality for Papers2.1. Not only can you highlight (in different colors!) and add notes anywhere in the text, but your annotations sync with Papers for iPad and iPhone. We believe highlighting and annotating in Papers should be faster than grabbing a highlighter and taking it to a printed article. That is why any text you select with your mouse while holding the command key is automatically highlighted. You can, but do not have to, right-click to select the "highlight" option. Equally simple is note taking: hold the command key and double click anywhere in the article to add a note.
We could go on and on about all the great features we have brought back, and the new ones we have created, but instead we would like to invite you to testdrive them yourself. Download a free 30-day trial of Papers 2.1.
Enjoy Papers2.1!

The all-time series with DC United is notable for long streaks of success by both teams. The teams went 5-5 in the 1990s, with Kansas City winning the first five games, followed by DC United winning five in a row. Kansas City had an unsuccessful run against DC United with only three wins from 2005 to 2009, but since then have won five of six games against DC. Kansas City's recent success has come from poor defending on set pieces by DC United, as we will detail on video replay.

Video Replay #1a &1b:
March 10, 2012 Sporting KC 1, DC United 0
Sporting Kansas City opened the 2012 season with a road game in Washington, DC. There was some concern among Sporting KC fans that the team was going to start the 2012 season slowly after poor results in the preseason. Sporting KC turned in a good performance, dominating play but unable to score during the regular sequence of play. Kansas City finally found a goal after forcing a corner late in the game. Graham Zusi connected with CJ Sapong, who neatly headed the ball to the back post for the late goal to the delight of his friends and family (Sapong was raised in the DC area).
This result would begin a team-record seven game winning streak to start the season.
August 11, 2012 Sporting KC 2, DC United 1
Months later, virtually the exact same play would lead to the go-ahead goal against DC United. This time Teal Bunbury would head the ball in the goal from a Graham Zusi corner kick.
Video Replay #2:
May 12, 2011 Sporting KC 1, DC United 0
Another year, another Graham Zusi corner kick leading to a goal off poor set piece defense from DC United. This time Zusi would connect with Kei Kamara, but it would be Matt Besler who scored one of his best goals ever. Kamara's header hit the post, bounced back to Sporting KC forward Omar Bravo, who then poked the ball to Matt Besler. Besler created enough space between his defenders to turn, shoot across his body and find the the back of the net. Sporting KC was greatly assisted by DC United's defenders on the set piece--many stood still during the entire sequence rather than press or close shooting lanes.
You can skip to the goal at 04:39 HERE on Youtube.
The win secured first place in the Eastern Conference for Sporting KC: their first finish at the top since winning the Western Conference regular season in 2004.
Wizards Highlight:
November 14, 2004 MLS Cup: DC United 3, Kansas City Wizards 2 (in Carson, California.)
The 2004 edition of the Kansas City Wizards came closest to winning all three MLS trophies in a single year. The team won the US Open Cup and almost won the Supporter's Shield, losing on tiebreaks to Columbus Crew. The Wizards' postseason worked its way through California, defeating San Jose and LA Galaxy before facing DC United in Carson.
Were it not for the MLS Cup title, DC United in 2004 would be remembered most for their signing of Freddy Adu. The 14-year-old prodigy was a big story for the league and was arguably the most recognizable player in MLS before the arrival of David Beckham. He was an effective player for DCU in 2004, scoring 5 goals and "earning" an MLS All-Star spot in his first season.
Ask any longtime Wizards fan and the 2004 MLS Cup is infamous for the handball by DC United's Alecko Eskandarian. In the 23rd minute Jimmy Conrad's ball clearance was intercepted by Alecko Eskandarian's hand before scoring his second goal of the game. The Wizards protested that Eskandarian's handball negated the goal, but the play stood and DC would go up 2-1.
There was a second handball in the game and it resulted from poor set piece defending by DC United. A corner kick was headed by Wizards' Jimmy Conrad to the goal, but was swatted away by DC United midfielder Dema Kovalenko. Fortunately for KC, the referee saw the play, showed Kovalenko the red card and Josh Wolff converted the penalty kick to get the score to 3-2. Kansas City would play the next 35 minutes with a man advantage but could not find the equalizer.
Alternatively, you can skip to the called handball and penalty kick at 04:17 HERE on Youtube.
Eskandarian would later go on to date Kim Kardashian, amongst other things.

Really glad to see a new game from whats left of team Bondi. With Warner Brothers behind them it seems like this could turn out to be a pretty great game. With the very little info out there, Im curious as to what you guys think. Just seeing an early 1930s recreation of Shanghai sound pretty neat.
This is a link to the wiki for the Shanghai Municipal Police which seems to be the basis for this game. Really interesting read if this game appeals to you.
Heres the description from there site.
Shanghai, 1936. Whore of the Orient. Paris of the East. The most corrupt and decadent city on the planet, where anything can be had or done for the right price. Plaything of Western powers who greedily exploit the Chinese masses. Boiling pot of Chinese nationalism, with the Kuomintang ruthlessly trying to suppress Communism and the labour movement. Home to the International Police Force, a group of Western cops hopelessly trying to keep the lid on and keep the peace.
From the development team who brought you L.A. Noire and The Getaway, along with the Academy Award winning film production team of Kennedy Miller Mitchell comes a completely new and original IP being developed for next generation games consoles and PC.
The Getaway, famous for its photo-realistic look, strong narrative and uncompromising gameplay style, sold over 4 million units on the PlayStation 2. The release of L.A. Noire set the quality bar even higher selling over 5 million units. L.A. Noire was critically heralded as a breakthrough for interactive storytelling and was the first game ever to be invited to be shown at New York's world renowned Tribeca Film Festival. L.A. Noire has gone on to become the UK's fastest selling original IP - a title previously held by The Getaway - and a worldwide number one hit. Using award winning animation technology to capture every actor's facial performance in astonishing detail, L.A. Noire combined breathtaking action with true detective work to deliver an unprecedented interactive experience.

FreedomPop, an organization that sells wi-fi hotspot gadgets with free mobile data, is planning to offer a full-blown cellular service with free voice calls and text messages this summer.
According to AllThingsD, FreedomPop has been amassing a pile of refurbished phones that once ran on Sprint's 4G WiMax network, such as the Samsung Galaxy SII and HTC Evo 4G, and plans to sell them for under $200 with no contract. In exchange, FreedomPop subscribers will get 500 MB of data and 200 voice minutes (via VoIP) per month, plus unlimited text messages.
FreedomPop hopes to make money by selling add-on services, such as unlimited calling, additional data and faster connection speeds. As AllThingsD's Ina Fried points out, it's a strategy reminiscent of dotcom-era companies like NetZero, which gave away basic dial-up Internet service for free. (Incidentally, NetZero rose from the dead recently with free wireless Internet service, but it only lasts for a year before customers must pay for subscriptions.)
Is FreedomPop worth considering? Sure, but only if you're keenly aware of its hidden costs and gotchas. And from what I've seen of FreedomPop's existing free data service, the company seems to try its best to keep potential users in the dark.
Here are a couple things to know about FreedomPop's free data service, which is already available today:
- If you use less than 5 MB of data in a given month, you get charged a $0.99 "Active Status fee."
- By default, when you reach your final 100 MB of data in a given month, FreedomPop automatically charges $10 to fill your plan back up. To avoid the automatic charge, you must change your billing settings on FreedomPop's website.
Finding the above stipulations on FreedomPop's website isn't easy. There's no mention of them on the home page, nor on the terms of service page that's linked from the home page. You'll only find them on a separate "Service Plan, Equipment, and Payment Terms" web page, which is linked from the principle phrases of carrier. Even then, the phase about further charges is buried below six different sections of legalese.
FreedomPop does provide subscribers an opportunity to decide out of computerized refills on the ultimate carrier activation web page, however the wording ("To verify uninterrupted carrier, prime up my freedompop account") is obscure. It doesn't say that the cost is routine, nor does it point out the a hundred-MB set off.
FreedomPop additionally peppers customers with further bargains right through the signal-up course of, whereas attractive in some basic sneakiness: On one web page, a suggestion for two GB per thirty days is marketed as "one hundred% FREE" and chosen by using default, whereas the high quality print mentions that a cost of $17.ninety nine kicks in after one month. Some other web page deals quicker speeds for $three.ninety nine monthly with an immense inexperienced "Get Supply!" button, whereas the method to cross is introduced in tiny textual content.
Different factors of FreedomPop's carrier are hidden from potential buyers as neatly. That you would be able to't in finding out the price of the gadgets with out going during the signal-up course of, all through which it's a must to enter an email handle and mailing deal with. And whereas FreedomPop's house web page advertises 4G speeds, customers should pay $three.ninety nine per 30 days additional to ensure the entire pace that the community permits.
The costs themselves don't hassle me an excessive amount of. They're no worse than the under-the-line charges and price-brought services and products of main wi-fi carriers, and if you happen to're aware of FreedomPop's insurance policies, it's indisputably that you can imagine to get free knowledge. I've used the carrier in Cincinnati, and it really works.
I simply want that FreedomPop wasn't so sketchy in the best way it gifts its products and services. It'd be more straightforward to get desirous about the upcoming free wi-fi provider if the corporate was once extra clear. As a substitute, I'm questioning what different new methods FreedomPop will invent to extract cash from unsuspecting customers.
UPDATE: FreedomPop CEO Stephen Stokols wrote in to deal with a few the factors above. First, he brought up that customers obtain an electronic mail alerting them to the $10 automated high-up after they join. FreedomPop started sending these e-mails to new customers about 2.5 months in the past. 2nd, beginning ultimate month, FreedomPop started waiving the $zero.ninety nine "Lively Standing price" for brand new subscribers, and can ultimately be doing so for present customers. It appears FreedomPop is working to handle criticisms, however the firm nonetheless has extra work to do on being up entrance about the price of the hardware and different charges prior to folks join, no longer after they've exceeded over private small print and/or fee data. That difficulty, blended with the extra services and products that FreedomPop tries to sneak earlier new customers, is what in some way leaves a bitter style, now not the costs themselves..

Collatz Conjecture Progress
by Frog42
Tags: collatz, conjecture, progress
|Share this thread:
May7-14, 03:28 PM
From what I can tell off of Wikipedia and Wolfram, it doesn't look like this is currently known. Regrettably, I live in a social vacuum of mathematical pursuits, so I've come here in the hopes that someone can tell me if this is really new information or simply a retread.
Brief Collatz Conjecture refresher: Take any number. If it's odd, multiply by 3 and add 1. If it's even divide by 2. Rinse and repeat and all numbers should eventually reduce to 1.
The "Path" to 1 can be simply notated by recording the number of times you repeat the even number procedure between odd number procedures.
Example for test number 5: [4] #Notice we can then add "2,2,2..." ad infinitum to demonstrate the loop of 1-4-2-1-4-2...
Example for test number 7: [1,1,2,3,4]
Example for test number 6: [X,1,4] #Notice that starting with an even number, we record an "X" for each initial even procedure. This will make sense later.
The "Verbose Path" tracks the individual even/odd procedures performed. A "0" represents that we have not yet reached the last even procedure.
Example for test number 5: [0,0,0,0,4] #The zeros respectively indicate that the first number of the Path will not be X, 1, 2 and 3.
Example for test number 7: [0,1,1,0,2,0,0,3,0,0,0,4] #Notice we only need to discard "X" as a possibility in the beginning.
Example for test number 6: [X,0,1,0,0,0,4] #Here we lock in "X", then discard the possibility of [X,X...] with the first occurrence of "0".
The Verbose Path maps directly onto a binary representation of the test number. [Disclaimer: I read binary backwards. If you read left-to-right, it makes much more sense to have the smallest placeholder on the left and the largest on the right. That's how I taught myself to notate binary, and it's an important factor in this next part. So please keep in mind that these binary numbers are "backwards". With that in mind, we can add infinite 0's to the right of a number without changing its value.]
For instance, any binary number that begins with 10100 (5) will follow the Verbose Path of [0,0,0,0,4...]. Let's look at the Verbose Path for 101000001 (261): [0,0,0,0,4,0,2,0,0,0,4,1,1,0,2,0,0,3,0,0,0,4]. Notice the Verbose Path for 5 takes five digits to resolve to 1, so 1011 (13) will only follow the same Verbose Path for the first three places, then it will diverge: [0,0,0,3,0,0,0,4]. Now we can look at the Verbose Path for 101100001 (269) to confirm it follows the same path as 1011: [0,0,0,3,0,0,0,4,1,0,0,3,1,0,2,0,0,3,0,0,0,4].
So the "seemingly random" distribution of odd and even numbers presented by the Collatz Conjecture is determined entirely by the binary representation of the number. Next, I converted my Verbose Path's 0's to a polarity-switchable bit and represented the non-0 digits as polarity-switching 0's. I call this the "Wave Path". The last example (269) thereby becomes: [1,1,1,0,-1,-1,-1,0,0,1,1,0,0,-1,0,1,1,0,-1,-1,-1,0]. If you map these out, it forms a wave, which always ends in a perfect sine wave caused by the 1-2-4 loop, represented in Wave Path notation as [0,1,0,-1,0,1...].
My current hypothesis is that the Collatz Conjecture forms a self-correcting wave. Each binary "1" acts like a pebble dropped in a lake in series. I also sometimes envision it as being more closely related to orbital mechanics (of which I admittedly know nothing beyond an old planetary orbit simulator game from my middle school years). I believe there can be some set of uniform rules that indicate the Wave Path of any binary number. I might also note that interesting symmetries are observed in the Wave Paths. 27 and 31 are virtually mirrored, then 25 and 33, the 23 and 35.
So the question is this: have I actually found out anything new or just stumbled blindly upon pre-trod territory? I've found a lot more while satisfying my curiosity on this topic. This is just my latest path of inquiry.
Here's some simple Python analysis code if that helps anyone. Each of the procedures is designed to accept the previous procedure's output as input. (i.e. collatz > verbose_path > wave_path) Sorry I didn't really comment it at all, but as I mentioned, I live in a social vacuum in regards to these pursuits. Also, I don't really have any programming experience, but hopefully since it's Python it's still fairly readable.

The Oakland Raiders delivered another blow to the Houston Texans with a 28-23 victory on Sunday afternoon.
Matt McGloin made his NFL debut and got the Raiders off to a quick 14-0 start. Case Keenum struggled for most of the first half, throwing his first interception of the year. He recovered in time to throw a 42-yard touchdown to Garrett Graham. The Texans later tied the game with a crazy 87-yard punt return by Keshawn Martin. Randy Bullock hit a 51-yard field goal at the end of the second quarter and the Texans went into halftime leading, 17-14.
Things fell apart for Houston in the second half. McGloin hit Mychal Rivera for his third touchdown pass of the day and Rashad Jennings scored on an 80-yard run. The Texans made a controversial move late in the third quarter by pulling Keenum. Matt Schaub came back in after being benched for several weeks. The Texans kicked two more field goals and drove down to the red zone with two minutes left, down 28-23. Schaub drove the Texans down to the goal line with less than two minutes left, but they were unable to convert on fourth down, securing the win for Oakland.
Fantasy studs and duds
Ben Tate had a solid game as Houston's starter, recording 88 yards on 19 carries. Andre Johnson was his usual self, gashing the Raiders defense for 10 catches and 116 yards.
Injury report
Raiders defensive lineman David Muir was carted off with a knee injury and doubtful to return.
Did they cover?
The Texans were 10.5-point favorites, according to Oddsshark. They failed to cover by losing.
What's next?
Houston vs. Jacksonville, Nov. 24, 1 p.m. ET
Oakland vs. Tennessee, Nov. 24, 4:05 p.m. ET

GTA 5: Epsilon Program Reveals Fate Of San Andreas' Cris Formage
Tom Hopkins
GTA 5's viral marketing continues to drop hints, this time on the whereabouts of San Andreas cult founder Cris Formage.
Published on Aug 8, 2012
GTA 5's key details - formats, release date, gameplay - are all still very much under wraps, but the first outlet for the game's viral marketing is in full swing.
The Epsilonism Today Twitter feed has been dropping cryptic quotes since it was discovered last week, but now it may have dropped the first hint with regard to how GTA 5 will tie into previous GTA games.
Asked if the San Andreas character and Espilon Program founder Cris Formage is 'still alive', the feed responded:
"Cris is a thesis, not an antithesis, and as the literature explains, a true thesis exists equally in all paradigms," then added "Hope that's cleared that up."
While it doesn't confirm the presence of Cris Formage in GTA 5, it does seem to acknowledge the character in the wider GTA universe, which is significant - Rockstar has previously denied any crossover between the last-gen GTA games (GTA 3, Vice City, San Andreas) with the current-gen titles, GTA 4 and the upcoming GTA 5.
If the Espilon Program exists in GTA 5, which this viral marketing seems to suggest, will Cris Formage still be credited as the cult's founder?
Back in March last year when a casting call revealed some rather GTA-sounding characters for a Take-Two project, among them was Brother Adam, described as a "Welsh monk / cult leader / yoga teacher". Notes included "needs Welsh accent".
Perhaps the Epsilon Program will exist with a new leader in GTA 5?
The Epsilonism Today feed isn't all about cryptic clues - there's some trademark GTA humour in there too.
"I am ready to follow blindly, for there is only one way - the epsilon program," tweeted one devotee. "It's not blindness," reads the reply. " It's the next great science, after biology and topiary."
Rockstar: please, please release this game soon.

This month on Stories from School, we are trying to expose some of the "invisible" work that teachers do--the things in teaching that may go unseen by others. Unfortunately, what I have to write about is not at all invisible--rather, it is all too often in our way! Science teachers, Career and Tech Ed teachers, and other teachers of project and lab based classes spend much of our time functioning as equipment managers--not the most glamorous duty, but a duty, indeed, it is. You can see a few of us in the photo off to the left, and yes, we are hamming it up for a Homecoming spirit day dressed as Industrial Hazards, but you get the idea--our equipment is large and can be hard to handle.
What are some of the "invisibles" that come with all this equipment?
Mark wrote about the ordering and I completely concur with that post: we are fortunate when we have a budget with which to order items, but the ordering itself is incredibly time consuming! What exact part do we need? How much of that reagent are we going to use in the next year? One of my coworkers is the king of materials. He is an overachiever in the world of ordering and gets some amazing equipment from Ebay and surplus suppliers. Yes, he gets much more out of the limited budget money, but at what cost in terms of teacher time? I use quite a bit of biotechnology equipment which I borrow from some generous institutions. Free, yes. But reserving it and hauling it? That takes time.
Besides ordering, what other responsibilities come with equipment and supply management? Storage and disposal: all those chemicals have to go somewhere, and you had better not put the potassium permanganate next to the ethylene glycol on that shelf. Also, we do not pour our used chemicals down the drain—nope, we label and store them until disposal—they may be invisible to the outside world, but these chemicals are definitely not invisible in our prep room! Mixing solutions: the scut work of teaching chemistry labs. I've gotten more efficient with this over time. Repair and maintenance: A screw just fell out of one of the microscopes. Trust me, I'm no microscope technician, but hey, a few minor repairs? I've learned to do it.
Safety: A ladder safety workshop has gotten a few knocks on this blog, but, honestly, if we are going to do science labs, the danger is real, and we need to take our safety seriously. Yes, that means safety trainings, and some years we do learn about the latest in OSHA regulations, but other years it doesn't get much better as an after school teacher activity than to have the friendly neighborhood firefighters come over, light a fire behind the school, and then get to put it out!
As a pre-service teacher, equipment management was one area I literally never thought about. It takes up quite a bit of my teaching time, and looking at the larger picture, I am not sure that it should. Would my time be better spent on classroom curriculum and assessment, on student feedback, or on designing new labs instead of on some of this minutiae of equipment management? Yes. Can equipment management be separated from science teaching? Probably not. Some schools do have lab managers, or science kit-type assistance, or even department heads, but, realistically, at a smaller school, we are self-reliant for this. Does all this 'equipment management' impact student learning? Well, lab days are often the best days, and I think my students would probably agree.

If you have more to say, post a comment below!
It's that time of year when most people use an antiperspirant at least once a day. That's because the heat and humidity are causing us to sweat up a storm. When we sweat a lot the bacteria lurking on our skin start feasting on fats and protein in our perspiration. The result: Body Odor! When temperatures exceed 90 degrees F the chances are good that we will be sweating and stinking.
Since no one wants to smell bad, most people reach for an antiperspirant without thinking twice. But have you bothered to read the label? If you did, would you even know what those chemicals are and what the potential risks might be of applying them regularly to the delicate skin of your armpits?
Here are just a few of the ingredients you are likely to find in antiperspirants. If you have a hard time pronouncing these complex chemical names don't be surprised:
• Aluminum Zirconium Trichlorohydrex
• Aluminum Zirconium Oxtachlorohydrex
• Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex
• Cyclomethicone
• Cyclopentasiloxane
• Dimethicone
• Dipropylene Glycol
• Fragrance
• Hydrogenated Castor Oil
• Hydrogenated Soybean Oil
• Parafin
• Pentadecalactone
• Petrolatum (petroleum jelly)
• Propylene Glycol
• Silica
• Sodium Silver Aluminum Silicate
• Tripropylene Glycol
• Trisiloxane
Have your eyes glazed over yet? Not surprising. If you doubt us, take a moment to go get your antiperspirant. If it doesn't have Aluminum Zirconium something-or-other we would be astonished. That's because the FDA requires manufacturers of antiperspirants to use aluminum-based salts in order to make claims like "protects against wetness," or "long-lasting antiperspirant action."
How safe are aluminum salts in your pits, day after day, year after year? Most people probably assume that they don't absorb the chemicals from their antiperspirant through the skin. That may not be true. Women may be especially vulnerable to absorption of such chemicals because they shave their underarms. That may create portals for entry. But men may also absorb such chemicals through delicate underarm tissue.
Italian researchers writing in the Journal of Applied Toxicology (April 3, 2011) noted that "Aluminium [aluminum] is not a physiological component of the breast but has been measured recently in human breast tissues and breast cyst fluids at levels above those found in blood serum or milk. Since the presence of aluminium can lead to iron dyshomeostasis [imbalance], levels of aluminium and iron-binding proteins (ferritin, transferrin) were measured in nipple aspirate fluid (NAF), a fluid present in the breast duct tree and mirroring the breast microenvironment...The reasons for the high levels of aluminium in NAF remain unknown but possibilities include either exposure to aluminium-based antiperspirant salts in the adjacent underarm area and/or preferential accumulation of aluminium by breast tissues."
British researchers writing in the Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry (Nov. 2011) state that:
"The human breast is exposed to aluminium from many sources including diet and personal care products, but dermal [skin] application of aluminium-based antiperspirant salts provides a local long-term source of exposure. Recent measurements have shown that aluminium is present in both tissue and fat of the human breast but at levels which vary both between breasts and between tissue samples from the same breast. We have recently found increased levels of aluminium in noninvasively collected nipple aspirate fluids taken from breast cancer patients (mean 268 ± 28 μg/l) compared with control healthy subjects (mean 131 ± 10 μg/l) providing evidence of raised aluminium levels in the breast microenvironment when cancer is present.
No one yet knows whether aluminum causes cancer, Alzheimer's disease or any other serious health problems. But Swiss researchers writing in the Journal of Applied Toxicology (March, 2012) conclude: "Our observations do not formally identify aluminium as a breast carcinogen, but challenge the safety ascribed to its widespread use in underarm cosmetics."
Put aside the aluminum for a moment. The so-called inactive ingredients in antiperspirants don't seem all that inactive to us. Hydrogenated oils, petroleum jelly, silicone and goodness knows what else might clog pores. Of course plugging sweat glands is what the FDA is striving for in antiperspirants. We're not convinced that is as safe as the FDA believes. Kris McGrath is a Professor in Medicine-Allergy-Immunology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Dr. McGrath is concerned that if apocrine (sweat) glands in the armpit are plugged by antiperspirants there could be negative health consequences.
Until the final word is in on the safety of the ingredients found in most antiperspirants what can people do? No one wants body odor.
Here are some suggestions from visitors to this website:
"I have found dipping a cotton ball in witch hazel and applying it to the underarms keeps me odor free and dry!"
Emily, May 29, 2012
"I've used baking soda with perfect results for 2 years."
SSM, June 17, 2012
"My husband was having a real problem w/ underarm rash. After trying an antifungal cream which worked temporarily, I told him about milk of magnesia.
"He will never go back to any deodorant and absolutely raves about the effectiveness of MOM [milk of magnesia]. Thanks to People's Pharmacy for great information. I'm a nurse and it has helped me give sound and simple advice to a lot of people!"
Sylvia S., May 29, 2012
"I am a man who has used MoM (milk of magnesia) to quickly and effectively treat both underarm rash and a rash in the genital area. Doctor recommended treating them with standard antifungal treatments to no avail. I saw this and tried it and now swear by it! What a relief!"
DTC, July 4, 2012
Anyone who doesn't want the inconvenience of dabbing baking soda or witch hazel on underarms and prefers a roll on product may want to check out this link to our MoM deodorant. Take a second to read the ingredients. You will be surprised at how pronounceable they are compared to what might be found on the typical antiperspirant bottle. By the way, there is a 15% savings if you use the discount code MOM15 when you reach checkout.
Regardless of what you do to prevent body odor, please do read ingredients and make informed decisions. We have assumed that the FDA protects us from harmful chemicals, but the rules that have been in place for antiperspirants came long before the latest research on aluminum. Perhaps one of these days the feds will evaluate the new data and revise their regulations. In the meantime, buyer beware.

Portland has made one pesky list.
Pest control company Orkin compiles an annual list of the U.S. cities with the most bed bug treatments. The Rose City was not on it last year, but that has changed.
Portland comes in at No. 49 on the list for the most bed bug treatments Orkin performed between January and December 2012.
Orkin saw a nearly 33 percent increase in bed bug business last year across the nation.
People in Portland can at least be happy to not have the same pest problems as their neighbors to the north. Seattle jumped 14 spots on the list to finish 13th on the bed bug list.
The Orkin man made more bed bug-related trips in Chicago than any other American city.
Experts recommend inspecting your bedroom regularly to avoid an issue with bed bugs. Check mattress seams, sheets and furniture, behind baseboards, electrical outlet plates and picture frames.
Adult bed bugs resemble apple seeds in size and color, while newly-hatched babies can be about the size of a pinhead and pale in color.

(August 6, 2010) – Three rural Georgia broadband projects will receive almost $13 million in grant funds through the third round of Recovery Act funding announced this week. Over 33,000 homes and businesses in 30 Georgia counties will receive service through these projects.
Selected to receive funds are:
Windstream Georgia Communications, LLC - $5,129,575 grant to provide service to over 18,500 homes and over 2,000 businesses in these twenty counties: Baldwin, Berrien, Brooks, Chattooga, Colquitt, Dodge, Dooly, Irwin, Jones, Macon, Meriwether, Pickens, Schley, Stephens, Talbot, Telfair, Thomas, Turner, Wheeler, and Whitfield. Windstream proposes to use industry standard ADSL2+ (Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line) protocols that will allow customers to enjoy broadband at speeds of up to 12 Mpbs. Windstream is contributing $1,709,859 towards project costs.
Windstream Standard, LLC - $6,940,375 grant to provide service to approximately 12,000 people, 750 business and 50 other community institutions in these counties: Banks, Dawson, Fannin, Habersham, Lumpkin, Rabun, Towns, Union, and White. The company will contribute $2,313,458 towards project costs.
Blue Ridge Telephone Company - $853,768 grant to provide service to 362 homes and businesses in Fannin, Gilmer and Union counties. Blue Ridge Telephone is contributing $2,320 towards project costs.
"Broadband services are critically needed in rural areas," said Donnie Thomas, acting state director of USDA Rural Development. "State-of-the-art technology allows rural businesses can compete in the worldwide market place. Children can access educational resources and receive specialized classes."
These projects were among the 126 projects in 38 states announced nationwide on August 4. Funding is contingent upon the recipient meeting the terms of the loan, grant or loan/grant agreement. Georgia was selected to receive a total of $56.7 million in loans and grants in the first two rounds of Recovery Act funding for broadband.

(noun) - Papier mâché is a French term that means "chewed paper" - although there are, please believe me, much more pleasant/efficient methods of pulping paper than chewing it.
Papier mâché's technique involves saturating paper with an adhesive binder (glue, wallpaper paste or the flour-and-water combo every 1st-grader has had to taste) and forming it into an object. Optimum results are obtained by using something such as a balloon or chicken wire as an armature.
Most of us are probably familiar with this craft as it humbly applies to a K-6 art class project or your basic piñata. Papier mâché has quite a grand history though, being some 1,800 years old. It has been used to create highly decorative (and expensive) objects that, when lacquered, are dead ringers for woodenware. Because the medium is easily molded, everything from dolls to curved furniture have been cast from it. Papier mâché also lends itself well to ornamentation from any number of paints, gold leaf or semi-precious overlays. Papier mâché: It's definitely more than child's play.

(WASHINGTON) -- After six damaging months of intelligence revelations, President Obama next Friday will announce the kinds of reforms and restraints he wants on the broad surveillance by the NSA – reforms he thinks will preserve needed surveillance, but curb excesses.
Officials won't give details, but suggest the restrictions will be based on task force recommendations for new controls, limits, and some safeguards for the privacy rights of Americans caught up in the surveillance which will be allowed to continue.
Foreign leaders will be listening to assurances that eavesdropping on them will be curtailed.

Donovan McNabb never paid punter for wearing his No. 5 jersey
I know he is no longer on the team but Kluwe is so:
Pay up Sucka!!!
The punter would give McNabb the number he had worn in Minnesota since 2005 provided McNabb did a few things for it. The quarterback would have to mention Kluwe's band, "Tripping Icarus" at least five times in interviews and would donate $5,000 to Kluwe's Kick for a Cure charity.VikingsUpdate.com
"[Getting the money] would be the major thing," Kluwe told. "Tripping Icarus got the publicity we needed. That was fine, two mentions is more than enough. The $5,000 for Kick for a Cure would definitely be appreciated."

The manner in which the Memphis Grizzlies deconstructed the San Antonio Spurs on Monday in taking a 3-1 NBA Playoffs series lead was striking; the Spurs usually do the whole blitzkrieg-out-of-nowhere bit, and rarely are the victims of such a bumrush. The Grizzlies smoked the Spurs by 15 points in the crucial third quarter, quite possibly ending San Antonio's hope for a fifth championship in the Tim Duncan/Gregg Popovich era.
As it turns out, even those who predicted a Grizzlies' upset didn't see that dominating run coming. From SB Nation's Straight Outta Vancouver:
[T]o see this Grizzlies team and its utter disregard for the Spurs and what The Spurs means in the NBA, and NBA playoff, lore, to see them just walk right on by all the frills and things that we believe -- and usually do -- hold some water when the postseason comes around -- the experience, the pedigree, the rings -- and to see what it means when a basketball team is simply better at basketball in a given series than another team is to actually see one of those "what-if" situations playing out in full force.
That's what makes this one different from the Mavs-Warriors of a few years ago: Dallas had just let a championship slip through their grasp a year before. When they fell to Golden State, it was the continued crumbling of a franchise that couldn't quite make it to the top. San Antonio has been there, they're seen as champions, making Game Four all the more shocking and impressive when you think that the Grizzlies simply won't let these guys catch their breath.
It was shocking last year when the Spurs were swept 4-0 by the Phoenix Suns in the second round, but San Antonio looked different -- excellent -- this season, and the Grizzlies are supposed to be too green to do this. It may not be as visceral an assault as Warriors over Mavericks, but it's something to behold nonetheless.

Iraq's most senior energy official called for coordinated Arab action on climate change while Egypt's environment minister proposed a regional green fund at a conference in Baghdad on Monday.
Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Affairs Hussein al-Shahristani warned of the risk of flooding, and also pointed to desertification and sandstorms affecting Iraq in his call for regional efforts to combat climate change.
The two-day conference comes after the World Bank warned in a report this month that global warming will have dire consequences for the Middle East and north Africa, with even hotter and drier conditions devastating everything from agriculture to tourism.
"All Arab countries must work under the Arab League to confront climate change," Shahristani said in opening remarks to the conference in Baghdad's heavily-fortified Green Zone.
"The danger now is the threat of flooding in many areas, in addition to the phenomena of desertification and sandstorms that we suffer from here in Iraq."
Iraq's environment ministry estimated in 2009 that 39 percent of the country's surface was affected by desertification, while a further 54 percent was under threat.
It also estimated that Iraq loses around 250 square kilometres (96 square miles) of arable land annually due to degradation of various kinds.
Also at the conference, Egypt's Minister of State for the Environment Mostapha Hussein Kamel called for the establishment of an Arab fund to back environmental projects in the region.
Of the Arab League's 22 members, 18 sent representatives to the conference — Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Tunisia and Syria were absent.
