RABAT, Morocco — Morocco is going through a slow-moving political crisis. Last month, Istiqlal, a secular party, voted to withdraw from the Islamist-led coalition government, criticizing it as ineffective. But after a phone call from King Mohammed VI, who was on vacation in Paris, Istiqlal's leaders decided to stay put until the monarch's return. Meanwhile, the embattled Justice and Development Party — the Islamist party that after years in opposition now leads the coalition government — has become isolated. Abdelilah Benkirane, its leader and the country's prime minister, addressed a half-empty chamber of deputies last week; the opposition had boycotted the session.

Burgers and Bun KebabsBy Huma Yusuf
KARACHI — It's a measure of Pakistanis' obsession with eating that even the elections held on May 11 — fiercely contested, marred by violence — are being discussed in culinary metaphors. The contest in Karachi has been called a clash between the "burgers" and the "bun kebabs," between the Westernized youth and middle-class locals.
The so-called burgers are the English-speaking elite who could afford the American fast food when it was still a rarity. They have long been pitted against the bun kebabs, named after a street food consisting of a kebab and a fried egg served on a greasy bun. As a teenager, school friends who disproved of my burger credentials would dare me to eat bun kebabs off food carts in Saddar, the city's historic center. Such jibes have endured: Earlier this year, a music video was released describing burgers as iPhone-toting, green card-holding and oblivious.
It's a joke with a bite because it highlights the class divides that persist in urbanizing Pakistan.
Rebels Without a PauseBy Ursula Lindsey
CAIRO — In Egypt these days, young people are gathering signatures.
At the subway station in Tahrir Square, they are asking commuters to fill out photocopied pieces of paper with the heading: "Rebel Campaign: To Withdraw Trust from the Brotherhood's Regime." It's a petition calling for early presidential elections.
The document addresses President Mohamed Morsi directly. "Because security still isn't back," it says, "we don't want you." "Because the poor still have no place, we don't want you. Because we're still begging the outside, we don't want you."
Many Happy ReturnsBy Huma Yusuf
KARACHI, Pakistan — Defying threats from Taliban suicide bombers, almost 60 percent of registered voters in Pakistan headed to the polls on Saturday. It was the greatest turnout since 1970.
The election was also remarkable for announcing the forceful arrival onto the political scene of Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (P.T.I.), the party led by cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan, after decades of domination by the Pakistan Peoples Party (P.P.P.) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (P.M.L.N.).
Armed with a bottle of water and hand-held fan, I, too, stood in the long ladies' line outside one of the polling stations in my constituency, the hotly contested National Assembly seat known as NA-250, which includes some of Karachi's most affluent residential areas. Khan has been credited with mobilizing much of the electorate here, particularly young, educated, urban voters who have historically shied away from politics.
The Ballot Against the BulletBy Kamila Shamsie
KARACHI, Pakistan — At the start of last week I was in the nation's capital, Islamabad, which adjoins the country's most populous and most powerful province, Punjab. Almost all the political talk there was about Punjab, the home province of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, where he and his Pakistan Muslim League-N (P.M.L.-N) have been holding rallies, urging supporters to vote them into power. Most analysts believe that is exactly what will happen, even though Sharif won't have the easy ride that he might once have expected: The cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan and his Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (P.T.I.) party have strong support in Punjab, and Khan has been traveling the length and breadth of the province to prove the pundits wrong. This is as it should be in a democracy the week before an election.
But now I'm back in my hometown of Karachi, the capital of Sindh province, and here — as in all the provinces other than Punjab — the picture is very different. On the morning of May 3, the day after I arrived, the daily newspaper Dawn reported that since April 11 — exactly one month before Election Day — there had been 42 attacks on campaigners and campaign offices, with 70 people killed and more than 350 injured. Two candidates standing for elections were among the fatalities.
The Cynics of DelhiBy Hartosh Singh Bal
NEW DELHI — I was talking last week to a senior official from the Congress Party in one of the capital's colonial bungalows that are a much-envied perk of power when news arrived that the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (D.M.K.), a party from the southern state of Tamil Nadu and an important partner in Congress's ruling alliance, had withdrawn support from the government. The functionary was gleeful. That reaction surprised me, but less so than the explanation for it: "There goes Chidambaram's chance of becoming prime minister."
That this Congress politician would delight at an ally's setback sums up the atmosphere of cynicism that permeates Indian politics today.
The reference was to the finance minister, whose parliamentary seat from Tamil Nadu depends on continued support from D.M.K. Even assuming that, against current odds, Congress does well in the 2014 general election and then Rahul Gandhi chooses not to become prime minister, P. Chidambaram could hardly claim India's top post without winning his own election. That this Congress politician would delight at an ally's setback sums up the atmosphere of cynicism that permeates Indian politics today.
How the Other Half ThinksBy Michela Wrong
NAIROBI — For a ringside seat on the spectacle of Kenyan democracy's turbulent workings, I'd recommend Dormans on Mama Ngina Street. I had just ordered an espresso at the café, around the corner from the Supreme Court, on Saturday when the mood on this normally bustling street suddenly turned.
Scores of pedestrians began running past the window. Waitresses leapt to pull down the café's metal shutters. The police fired tear gas from a truck roaring by. Then a posse of riot police officers ran past with their shields up, clubs brandished.
The cause of the uproar was the imminent arrival of Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who was scheduled to file a lawsuit challenging the validity Uhuru Kenyatta's victory in the recent presidential election.
"Is this the Kenya we want?" shouted supporters of Odinga's CORD alliance outside the court gates, holding up a blood-splattered T-shirt that read "Democracy on Trial." They milled around nervously, eyes on the police trucks standing by.
To Be Prudent Is to Be PartialBy Michela Wrong
NAIROBI — Over the years I've come to view the Kenyan media with a mixture of respect and affection.
The Campaign for Kenya
A series about the country's first general election under its new Constitution.
In the 1990s, I watched in awe as Kenyan photographers dodged Daniel arap Moi's club-wielding riot police. When their colleagues in the newsroom exposed financial scandals, ranging from Goldenberg to Anglo Leasing, I pasted their articles into my files. Like the press pack anywhere, Kenyan journalists liked their beer and could wolf down a buffet in a heartbeat, and the odd brown envelope definitely changed hands. But they were brave. "The best press in Africa," I told anyone who cared to listen.
So Kenya's recent election has been a baffling, frustrating time.
Indictee for President!By Michela Wrong
NAIROBI — When the International Criminal Court was established in 2002 it had many lofty ambitions. Ending impunity for crimes against humanity, genocide and war crimes. Delivering justice to those abandoned by their national courts.
Boosting indictees' electoral chances was not on that list. Yet that's exactly what has happened in Kenya.
Prosecutions are pending at the I.C.C. against the presidential candidate Uhuru Kenyatta and his running mate William Ruto for their alleged roles in a program of ethnic cleansing that traumatized Kenya's Rift Valley after the 2007 elections. Yet those cases gave the two men's Jubilee alliance a priceless fillip in last week's general election.
The Campaign for Kenya
A series about the country's first general election under its new Constitution.
While voting was marred by technical hitches, mysterious delays and mathematical anomalies, it seems clear that over six million votes endorsed Kenyatta's bid for the presidency.
" 'Thank God for the I.C.C.!' is what my contacts in Jubilee tell me," one political analyst said.
Why? Uhuru and Ruto were skillful at mobilizing their communities by capitalizing on Kenya's painful colonial history and the universal human tendency to dislike being lectured.
School Socket SyndromeBy Michela Wrong
NAIROBI — I'm thinking of calling it School Socket Syndrome. That's my term for the screech heard when modern technology is suddenly grafted onto a developing state's crumbling infrastructure.
Kenya experienced that grinding friction this week. After a serene day of voting Monday, which saw many citizens doggedly lining up for eight hours to mark their ballots, tallying their votes has turned extraordinarily tense.
Following Kenya's 2007-2008 election debacle, which featured vanishing election officers, doctored returns and ballot stuffing, a new electoral commission had unveiled what was meant to be a tamper-proof voting system.
I saw how swiftly theory was sabotaged by reality, that practical joker.
Biometric identification kits — with electronic thumb-pads like those at airport immigration desks — would be used to double-check names on a computerized voting register. Election officers would then transmit results to a tallying center set up by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission in Nairobi, using the SMS system of the Kenyan mobile-phone company Safaricom. There, the election returns would flash up in real time on a massive screen.
This would be the most modern election in Africa — and beyond. As an election observer from the European Union said of the system, "I don't know of any E.U. country that has it."
But almost everything that could go wrong did. At Moi Avenue Primary School in central Nairobi, I saw how swiftly theory was sabotaged by reality, that practical joker.

"First, I would like to thank you for offering the Forensic Photography course online. This morning was the first chance I had to put the knowledge I learned to use. We had a very serious motor vehicle crash involving a milk delivery truck and a tractor trailer. The driver of the tractor trailer ended up having his right leg amputated and sustained several internal injuries. His prognosis is still unknown as of this email. As luck would have it, a local media photographer took a photo of me in action.
Had I not completed this course, I would have never thought to capture specific angles and items at the scene. Unfortunately, due to our department policy, I cannot share with you the photos I took of the crash scene, as they are considered evidence.
Because I was so satisfied with this class, I intend to take other courses as time permits."

How the Hornbuckles overcame heroin

"We're all very much into cars," announces Margaret Doll Rod, singer, songwriter and ringleader for the Demolition Doll Rods. "In fact, for this tour coming up, we were like, 'Oh, jeez, I don't know. Are we gonna miss the derby? When's the derby coming? James Brown is coming and the derby's coming, and we want to make sure we're home in time.'"
Appropriately, home for the Doll Rods, whose other members are drummer Christine Doll Rod (Margaret's sister) and cross-dressing guitarist Danny Doll Rod, is the Detroit area, where automobiles are not just a mode of transportation but a way of life. Tasty, the Rods' first long-player, is perfectly in touch with this Motor City obsession: The blistering, raunchy, clamorous music it contains sounds as if it came straight from a garage.
There's another side to the Doll Rods, however--a certain white-trashiness that Margaret associates with Downriver, the area south of Detroit where she and Christine were raised. "The MC5 came from Downriver," she reveals, "and Iggy Pop came from Ypsilanti. People always say he came from Detroit, but Ypsilanti is in Wayne County. It's more like white hicks grow up there. It's very down-home. People hunt up there; they trap muskrat, they turtle-trap. It's very scattered and rural."
Thanks to this environment, Downriver's version of auto fanatacism had its own special character. "Cars in Detroit are, of course, a big deal," Margaret acknowledges. "But once you start getting to the outskirts of Detroit, kids really get into their cars. You have auto shop in school, and it's a really big thing. My brother used to race his car. They would fix up cars and race them at a track. There were dirt roads and there was a strip where the pavement began, and the kids would race on that, too. My neighbors always had car engines hanging from their trees and they had chickens, so you'd get a real natural feel and then you'd get the engine feel." The parallel between these experiences and primitive R&B stomps like "If You Can't Hang..." and "Maverick Girl" is obvious to her: "For our music, a lot of it is very down-home but with a high-revving thing going with it."
The Rods achieve this synthesis using the simplest of tools--specifically, a pair of six-string guitars and a two-piece drum kit that Christine pounds like a cannibal calling the tribe to dinner. Their apparel, meanwhile, is virtually nonexistent. The three generally perform wearing nothing other than car parts, toys or mirrors that they tape to their bodies in strategic locations. "We wear very little, mostly because it's very hot on stage--but also, we're just not inhibited by the societal norms here," Margaret claims. "A lot of people, when they heard that we were dressed the way we were, thought we were like this big sex group, but we are so much like children. We're not very sexual." After a pause, she reconsiders this statement: "Well, probably just naturally we're sexual and don't even realize it. We don't hump the stage or anything like that. We don't go out of our way to be distastefully sexy. We think of ourselves more like kids playing." As a youngster, she reveals, "I thought I was the sexiest thing--in my own world, walking around on dirt roads in high heels."
Birthday suits were not yet de rigueur four years ago, when the Rods came together. According to Margaret, "Danny started dressing like a girl at the very beginning. He would wear full girl outfits, but I think that's just because he feels very androgynous. He's not gay, and he doesn't have anything against people who are. But sexually, he feels that inside of us we all have a little bit of boy and a little bit of girl." Besides, she confesses, "I really wanted an all-girl band, and there aren't too many girls who can play lead guitar like Danny." As for the Rods' original drummer, she preferred jeans and a Gene Simmons mask--but because of a heroin charge, she was not allowed to tour foreign soils. Enter Christine, who shares her sibling's predilection for bareness and back-breaking stiletto footwear.
The women's parents have mixed emotions regarding such exhibitionist tendencies. "My dad's always saying, 'Don't you think you could wear a little more?' The show he came to was our record-release party, where we wore the record. And I was like, 'Dad, I think that's the biggest costume we've ever worn!'" says Margaret, laughing. "But my mom loves it. She'll say, 'Don't tell anybody' and secretly go out and buy us costumes. My dad wishes that we wore more, but they like the music, and they listen to it and show their friends. They're proud of us."
Likewise, the Rods are proud of their physiques. "We take very good care of ourselves, and we love our bodies," Margaret confirms. "We think it's important to show that so that other people feel comfortable and love their bodies, too." To keep their machines finely tuned, the three enjoy a meatless, dairyless diet and regularly flush their carburetors with Smooth Move herbal laxatives. "All three of us are vegans," she affirms, "but Danny will cheat every now and then. I know, because we can tell by the farts in the van."

The 9th Annual Edelbrock Car Show is coming up May 3, 2014 at Vic's Garage in Torrance, California, located right by the Edelbrock manufacturing facilities. Hundreds of hot rods and street machines show up for this yearly gathering, with nine different tours of the Edelbrock manufacturing facilities and lots to see and more going on at the show including live music, great food at the Food Festival and Beer Garden, a grouping of movie-themed cars, a large vendors midway, and lots more including the Hot Rodders Of Tomorrow Engine Challenge later in the day.
We like it because a lot of the cars that show up you will only see at this one event. In addition, you get an opportunity to see many of the cars, boats, engines and components from Edelbrock's more than 75 years of racing and engine research. There are some cool gems they bring out that defines the complete arc of hot rodding and racing.
Proceeds go to the Edelbrock Family Foundation, which helps to support Rev'vd Up For Kids and the Hot Rodders Of Tomorrow Engine Challenge. The show starts at 9:00 AM and lasts all day. Click HERE for more info, maps and schedules for tours and events within taking place.
Edelbrock should build some 4 barrel manifolds for studebaker!
cool I have my v6 3.8 chevy done up with EDELBROCK PARTS ! WISH I COULD POST A PICTURE
Might have to go :-)
Would love this trip!
Sounds like fun, I'll be there in my dreams :D

Which "Difficult Man" are you—argumentative like David Simon, capricious like David Chase, or egotistical like Matthew Weiner?
The news that former Xbox chief Don Mattrick was leaving Microsoft to help revive the social gaming company Zynga has people wondering if Steven Spielberg will stick with Microsoft's planned TV series based on the video game Halo.
The Halo series will, of course, proceed without Mattrick, but given that Mattrick's close relationship with Spielberg was key in signing the deal, one has to wonder whether new snags might arise now that he's gone.

"I think it validates the model in a lot of ways. I think it also blurs the line forever about what is television. Television is what's on the screen, no matter what size the screen or how the content got to the screen. Television is television is television."
—Netflix's chief content officer Ted Sarandos talks about the Emmy nominations for Netflix shows: House of Cards, Arrested Development, and Hemlock Grove.
Do Netflix's Emmy nominations blur the line forever about what TV is?

Got questions about creativity? About writing? About the TV business? One of this year's Most Creative People is chatting with us live in less than 10 minutes! Get some advice from TV writer Ben Blacker.
Improv emphasizes showing over telling, a principle that often manifests in a technique known as "the invisible game" on Key & Peele. The central joke of these scenes is ladled out, beat by beat, but never spoken of. "The audience loves to figure things out," says Key, who has extensive professional acting experience and a unique physicality honed by emulating silent masters such as Chaplin and Keaton. "They love it when a performer leaves a trail of bread crumbs for them, and they get to participate in the comedy."
Innovation through improvisation: How Key & Peele busted the forumla and created something new
"In my experience, what's true as a woman is very different from some of the more cliched ways we've represented women over the years. I want to tell a more complex story. I want to tell a more empowered story, a more joyful story, a more sexy story …
There's an opportunity to create a new way of looking at women in the culture, and that's by example." -Connie Britton, No. 13 on our list of Most Creative People in business

Depression Health Center
Lincoln's Little Blue Pills
"He himself said that [the medicine] was making him cross," Hirschhorn tells WebMD. "Within a few months of becoming president, he stopped taking it. That's the more interesting point, that he realized the effect it was having, stopped taking it, and was able to lead the country during its most critical time in history."
"Some of what we're saying here is uncomfortable for traditional Lincoln historians," says co-author Ian A. Greaves, MD, associate professor and associate dean for research in the School of Public Health at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. "But it does help explain this period in Lincoln's history when he was quite erratic, when his behavior was not consistent with what we see in him as president."
While the dosage seems very high, "it was not unusual," Greaves tells WebMD. "In fact, it was recommended that people take these pills until their gums got sore or teeth became loose, which are also signs of mercury poisoning."
Dementia, too, can be the long-term effect of mercury poisoning, he says. "It's a fascinating story that fits into a much broader picture of how mercury was used in the 19th century. It was fortuitous for Lincoln that he was sufficiently self-aware and quit taking [the pills] when the nation needed him to function optimally."

Cousin of death - mixed media on board - Justin Draws
Jasper and Zoey -
Grace Chon is a well known lifestyle photographer and award-winning advertising agency art director. Her clients include publishing companies, celebrities, TV shows, magazines and nonprofit organizations. Recently Grace decided to snap a few shots of her adorable and cute ten month old Chinese-Korean baby named 'Jasper' and her lovely 7-year-old rescue dog Zoey. She says Jasper always has a smile on his face when the camera comes out and rescue dog Zoey loves posing for the camera too.
Grace rescued adorable Zoey, she said, "She had a difficult start in Taiwan as a rescue dog, she was born in front of a store and the owner washed her and all her siblings into a gutter. A schoolgirl walking by witnessed this and scooped up all the puppies and carried them home, with Zoey's mom following her all the way. She contacted Animal Rescue Team in Taiwan and they prepared the puppies and mom for adoption in the states."
Grace writes us in email, "One day, I put one on Zoey and I had the epiphany that baby hats look ridiculously adorable on dogs too! My sister had the brilliant idea of sitting them side by side in a photo. The response was immediate and I just kept going with it. I love my dogs fiercely (I'm a crazy dog lady through and through!) and it was really important to me that my dogs have a great relationship with Jasper. Zoey has exceeded my expectations as a big sister and I'm so glad I've found a fun activity that involves both of them!"

Light effects are just about as versatile as the imagination. The possibilities are endless. This is what Portuguese photographer Hid Saib discovered as he played around with some neon effects on people's faces. Hid Saib used tiny flecks of vivid neon paint and decorated the faces as well as shoulders of the subjects in his portraits.

Lindsay Lohan Free From Rehab, Released Into Wildby Free Britney at . Comments
As the signs were pointing to yesterday, Lindsay Lohan has been released from the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Hospital. She spent just 23 days at the Hospital.
The troubled star will now receive outpatient care: "The outpatient program is just like the inpatient program, except you go home at night," a source says.
The doctors at UCLA were clear with Judge Elden Fox that Lindsay should be released from the facility immediately, and the judge accepted their stance.
LIKE, OMFG, IT'S ABOUT TIME: She's baaack, but will anything change?
Judge Marsha Revel previously ordered Lohan to spend 90 days at UCLA, along with 90 days in jail prior to that. She's now a free woman after 35 ... total.
A court hearing is scheduled for today, presumably to iron out the logistics of her care going forward, although reports say that Lindsay will not be there.
What do we think: Can Lindsay Lohan stay clean?
i think they should have kept her in rehab and not out patient either.She needs to be away from her 'old life' for awhile until she learns to say no to the drugs and alcohol that could some day kill her.She has beauty and talent and has been making lousy choices for years and she surrounds herself with enablers.She has to get strong if she wants to survive!
The following you're eyes are to look upon are the sayings of a Bodhisattva. Written down by a disciple Bikkhu. The reader or readers are being saluted by the "namaste". Only time will time how she will end up.But you don't have to be a psychic to see that almost everyone of this celebs and are ending up miserable to the point of no return. Their talent being wasted on fame, money and borderline lifestyles. Many wind up dead. It is just a matter of time untill the next one falls. So the clock tickens more and more. We will just have to wait and see. And can say afterwards: "I told you so? These people have sacfificed them souls to the Mara. The demon of misguidings and the uncontrolled rebirth." In the meantime one can only pray for her that she finds spirituality in her life. And runs away from that place called Hollywood Baylon Sin Sity. Where you can lose your soul. Run, Lindsay run! Ohm shanti.
Lindsay Sux Lindsay Sux Lindsay Sux LINDSAY LOHAN SUCKS!
i think she shoudl move and find friends that will not enable drinking and drug habbits
i think she neds to go away from la and move back home and stay there we don't want her anymore i don't like her she's a slut and a drug additced
Best thing she SHOULD do is stay away from EVERYONE who 'enabled' her .. I worked w/Elizabeth Taylor right after she got out of Betty Ford and she changed EVERYONE who worked with her in years before .. makeup . wardrobe .. hair . standin .. Easiest place to find 'what you want/drugs/drink' is a film set! .. NO, has to be her answer .. I want her to do well in life and not wind up in the morgue at such a young age .. 90 would be nice or older.

Hot answers tagged internet-explorer-7
Ok, so we have confirmed that our calculations were incorrect. Our provider was giving us reports based on the number of "visits". A visit is calculated based on the amount of time a user spends on our website. However, IE7 users might be rare but they might spend more time on a website compared to a Chrome user. This meant that the percentage we were going ...
Check out this question on Stack Overflow, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4031718/favicon-is-pixelated-in-ie. It looks like 32x32 pixel favicons look much better in IE7 than 16x16. The only down side is Chrome only supports 16x16. Here is an article going in depth into how favicons work and what your options are, ...
IE7 is obviously going to become the new IE6; however, it's not entirely out the door yet. Whether it makes sense for you to support it, will entirely depend on your user base and other factors. The answers given on this webmasters. Stack Exchange question: should I bother supporting IE6? essentially basically apply to any version. I'm in charge of a ...
It sounds like you might have some old information in your browser cache. Make sure you have completely cleared out all the caches from your browser before you begin testing. This way you are likely to see the same thing in every browser.
It turns out that the solution, at least in my case, is to save in 32x32 .ico format but with the transparency turned off. In addition - when I use this in MediaWiki it only goes wrong using the default name: favicon.ico. When I use a non default name, the problem goes away! In Local Settings.php: $wgFavicon = '<name>.ico';
Nice of you to ask this. I generally do not bother optimizing for a browser whose share on my site is not more than 5% (yes, even I got IE7 in that segment). You could also have a small IE7 specific notification in the footer which says that the site experience is optimized for IE8 and above?
IE7 is nearly a full decade old. Time to end support for it IMHO. Do a check and if IE <= 7 just display upgrade message and link to manual instructions if that won't work. Done.
Your friend in this kind of situation is cURL. A really really quick tutorial... Use curl's view headers only option (-I) to see what headers the server returns on your published domain: curl -I http://www.nulc2012.com/ I got this response, which says that a Permanent Redirect 301 is being sent to the browser, along with the target URL: HTTP/1.1 301 ...
Force Chrome Frame for IE with conditional statements. When the web breaks for enough for IE 7 users then they will upgrade and not until then. Remember the Ai, the three-toed Sloth of the Bradypus family, that is your IE7 user. Our Google Analytics showed 7% IE7 usage until Chrome Frame, now its 2%. There's no telling some people. Also, segment your data by ...
It depends who will be using your product. Even if IE6 is ages old and the alpha geeks say it's dead, there are still people who are using it. Same with IE7, except that it's probably used by more people than IE6. So, if your product is only for alpha geeks, drop IE7 support. If everyone should be able to use it, you probably should support IE7 (and dare I ...

Colorado, UCLA, SJSU and Navy will honor Houston Texans OL David Quessenberry, who is battling cancerGraham Watson at Dr. Saturday7 hrs ago
Colorado, UCLA, San Jose State and Navy will all honor Houston Texans rookie offensive lineman David Quessenberry during their games this weekend.
Quessenberry was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma this past summer, and Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre, who coached Quessenberry at San Jose State thought this weekend would be a serendipitous time for all four teams to honor Quessenberry.
In addition to Quessenberry's ties with the Colorado staff, many of whom were at San Jose State where Quessenberry started as a walk-on tight end and turned into a fourth-round draft pick, Quessenberry's younger brother, Scott, is a starting offensive lineman for UCLA, the Buffs opponent this weekend.
Quessenberry's other younger brother, Paul, is a starting defensive end at Navy, which plays San Jose State.Mon, Oct 20Houston23 - 30PittsburghGame Recap
Steve Spurrier skirts around questions about the Florida jobGraham Watson at Dr. Saturday7 hrs ago
Speculation about Florida's next coach has been rampant as the countdown to Will Muschamp's eventual firing begins.
CBSSports.com's Dennis Dodd decided to do a little troll job on Florida fans last week by suggesting that perhaps Steve Spurrier might be the best person for the gig.
Spurrier was Florida's coach from 1990-2001 and led the Gators to five SEC titles and the team's first-ever national championship in 1996. He left Florida for the NFL before eventually landing at South Carolina where he's been since 2005.
Of course, Spurrier was asked Tuesday about rumors that he might be returning to the Swamp and Spurrier skirted around the question.
"I tell everybody my next move is going to be to Crescent Beach, Fla.," Spurrier said. "That's my next move whenever that is."
Spurrier and his family have a home in Crescent Beach, Fla., which is just south of Jacksonville.
Even though Spurrier denied the link between him and Florida, it might be an interesting prospect. As Dodd noted, Spurrier could be a bridge to the team's ultimate dream coach. He could put the program back on a winning track and then make the transition to the next guy — probably a much younger guy — that much easier.
Georgia RB Todd Gurley wears 'Free Gurley' shirt (Photo)Graham Watson at Dr. Saturday8 hrs ago
Georgia running back Todd Gurley has missed the last two games while the university and NCAA investigate whether he accepted money for signing memorabilia.
And while he waits for his future as a Bulldog to be determined, he's making a fashion statement.
Oh nothing, just Todd Gurley wearing a #FreeGurley t-shirt. pic.twitter.com/yWPHRMwIsc
The #FreeGurley movement has swept the Georgia campus and while Gurley can't make money off his name, some enterprising students are.
Peyton Bennett, a student at Georgia, printed up several T-shirts with the phrase "#FreeGurl3y" and is selling them for $15 each. He told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution he sold 100 in the first three days and that business has been booming as Gurley's eligibility issues continue.
FSU coach Jimbo Fisher cuts media interview short after his reputation is questioned
Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher cut an interview session short on Monday after reporters starting asking about the off-field issues surrounding quarterback Jameis Winston.
Fisher, whose team is on a bye week, was speaking at the Birmingham Monday Morning Quarterback Club near Winston's hometown. He was asked whether there was any news regarding the student code of conduct hearing and replied: "We're moving on with Louisville and talking about the other things. Everything should be great."
However, the questions didn't stop there.
Another reporter noted that Fisher's reputation had taken a hit and Fisher asked him to stop asking the question.
"I'm done," Fisher said. "I'm done."
Fisher then asked the reporter if he was going to put the interview on air and the reporter said he wasn't, which caused Fisher to give one final answer.
"Why is my reputation taking a hit? For backing a kid who has done nothing wrong?" Fisher said. "I don't want to get into this. The questions weren't supposed to be asked today. I'm done. I'm done."
Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino predicts the football team will upset Florida State
Florida State and Louisville don't meet until Oct. 30, but Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino had no qualms about putting out his prediction early.
Rick Pitino: "I truly believe we will beat Florida State (in football) ... I haven't been this excited for a football game in a long time."
Florida State is undefeated this season and Louisville's two losses have come in ACC play against Clemson and Virginia.
If the game were being played this week, there might be a greater chance for an upset after Florida State's emotional win against Notre Dame.
However, both teams have a bye this weekend as they prepare for the Thursday night pre-Halloween matchup.
Louisville's defense has played well this season, but facing FSU quarterback Jameis Winston, who played lights out in the second half against Notre Dame, is a tough, tough test.
Still, you have to appreciate Pitino's moxie and his support of the football program. Perhaps we'll learn that Pitino really can predict the future.

Tennessee coach tries to trip Ole Miss DB Senquez Golson after interception (Video)
One Tennessee coach might be in a bit of trouble this week after video surfaced of him attempting to trip Ole Miss defensive back Senquez Golson following an interception in the third quarter.
Golson picked off the pass from quarterback Justin Worley and then ran out of bounds on the Tennessee sideline. As Golson tried to come back in bounds to celebrate with teammates, the unidentified coach clearly stuck out his leg in an attempt to trip him.
Luckily, the coach missed and Golson wasn't injured, but this is some terrible sportsmanship right here. Ole Miss won the game 34-3 and Tennessee had four turnovers, including three interceptions.
Neither the SEC nor the schools involved have commented on this matter.

Report: Jameis Winston to declare for NFL draft following this season
Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston will leave school after this season.
According toa report by CBSSports.com's Jason La Canfora, Winston was originally torn about whether to stay another year, but due to several off-field issues in the past few weeks, he has decided it's best to move on.
La Canfora said there have been several rumors that Winston would drop out of school because of his pending student code of conduct hearing and allegations he was paid for signing memorabilia, but La Canfora said that's not likely to happen.
While La Canfora cites "sources" on his story, this decision has to be a no-brainer for Winston. There are too many off-field things going on around him to stay at Florida State another year. There would be no athletic benefit for him. In fact, staying might even decrease his draft stock.
Les Miles trolls a reporter after being asked about his 2015 QB situation (Video)
LSU has had trouble with quarterback consistency this season.
Coach Les Miles has been shuffling between Anthony Jennings and Brandon Harris, and while both have had their moments, neither has been able to totally seize the job.
So, predictably, Miles was asked following the Tigers' 41-3 win against Kentucky whether he was already thinking about who would start at QB in 2015.
And Miles gave the most Miles-esque answer ever.
(WARNING: Obscene language is used.)
While most coaches would have yelled, give that annoyed look or simply ignored the question, Miles did what Miles does best and made his answer into yet another quip for the Les Miles library.
Well played, Les. Well played.

Late penalty call helps Florida State remain undefeated in narrow win over Notre DameGraham Watson at Dr. Saturday2 days ago
Florida State might finally be able to enjoy a week of peace.
In its biggest game of the season, the Seminoles rallied from five different deficits to take a 31-27 lead midway through the fourth quarter and escaped with a win.
Notre Dame didn't go down without a fight, though.
During the Irish's final possession, they got down to the Florida State 2-yard line and appeared to have the game-winning touchdown when Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson found Corey Robinson in the end zone with 13 seconds left. But a debatable pass-interference call negated the score and backed the Irish up to the 18. On the final play, Golson, who had been stellar all game, threw up a desperation pass that landed in the hands of a Florida State defender outside the back of the end zone.
The victory pushes the Seminoles' winning streak to 23 games and quarterback Jameis Winston continues his undefeated streak as the Seminoles' starter.
The game actually ended up being better than advertised.
TCU rebounds with 42-9 thrashing of Oklahoma StateGraham Watson at Dr. Saturday3 days ago
TCU's dream of being a Big 12 champion and representing the conference in the College Football Playoff took a major step forward on Saturday after a 42-9 dismantling of Oklahoma State.
The Cowboys were one of two Big 12 teams remaining that hadn't lost a conference game. With the loss, Kansas State is the only team unbeaten in Big 12 play.
TCU was able to shake off a heartbreaking loss to Baylor last week in which the Horned Frogs blew a 21-point lead in the final 11 minutes of the game to lose on a last-second field goal.
But if the Horned Frogs were still hurting from that loss, they didn't show it.
The offense, led by quarterback Trevone Boykin, who injured his non-throwing wrist last week, was as potent as it's been all season long. The Horned Frogs rolled up 675 yards of total offense and the defense limited the Cowboys offense, which came into the game averaging 37.2 points per game, to just three field goals.
Even after the collapse against Baylor, no one doubted that TCU was one of the top teams in the Big 12. With Baylor losing to West Virginia and TCU still to play Kansas State, all of the goals are still out there for the Horned Frogs.

Editor's note: Please gamble responsibly, and follow all local laws that relate to gambling on sports.
So far in this series, I've gone 0-5. Somehow last week even though I only pick against the spread and the over under, I managed to give you three wrong bets. What does this mean? Well, you can look at it one of two ways. First, I have to be due to give you a winner this week. Or, the one you probably should abide by, this guy stinks, I'll just bet the opposite. But no matter which you choose, this series of articles should start making you money.
The Buccaneers come into the game against the Patriots as seven point underdogs. The total is set at 44.
I see this game as a close low scoring game in which the final couple of possessions will decide a winner. That means we should go with Buccaneers getting the points and the under.
Let's start with the game itself. The Bucs have played two games in which they've had the lead in the last :15 seconds of the game. So for them to be seven point dogs appears to be a bit steep. I understand the reasoning behind it, that being the Bucs are on the road and the Patriots have been awesome for almost a decade. However, the Patriots don't seem to be all their cracked up to be this season. They've won each of their first two games, but both were wins they eeked out against the Jets and Bills.
The Bucs could easily be 2-0. The Patriots could easily be 1-1 or even 0-2. If these were the records, the spread would be closer to two or three. Use the fact that the Bucs have under performed to your advantage. Even if it's deja vu times three, we'll still cover the spread.
Now on to the total. The Buccaneers offense has struggled in each of their first two games. And the defense has kept them in it both times. The Patriots offense doesn't look nearly as they in the recent past. I see much of the same in this game. The Buccaneers will have a tough time scoring against the improved New England defense, and the Tampa defense should be able to stymie the Brady and his stable of bad receivers. 44 is an awfully high number for two teams who haven't exactly been lighting it up.
So there you have it. Under and Buccaneers with the spread. Will I go 0-7? I sure hope not.

On October 4th, Covenant House Vancouver participated in the Ride for Refuge, a non-competitive bicycling fundraiser. Our team the Covenant House Cruisers trained hard and had a great ride with riders completing 25k and 50k races. We reached our team goal and raised over $6000.00 for Covenant House Vancouver!
Thanks to all the riders, supporters and donors for making the Ride for Refuge a huge success.
I had a really great connection with a youth when I was working as a youth worker in the Shelter. Months later that same youth moved to our Rights of Passage (ROP) program where I was now working as a residential advisor. We used to have conversations about the future and how life could be better. Those are hard questions for anyone, even if they have a more "normal" life.
I tried to be supportive of his world views and what he hoped to achieve. Our conversation got more into detail of the "what if" questions. I struggled between encouraging dreaming and "what if's" and having a more action orientated approach. There were a few more conversations like this between us before Carlos moved out of Rights of Passage. Now my realization after the fact is this: Carlos was indeed paying attention to what he was dreaming about. In his mind these dreams were becoming a possibility for him. He was waiting for the time to make it happen.
I took time off from working at Covenant House and I was not in touch with any staff or anyone connected to this agency for a long while. When I returned as a casual worker I had taken an evening shift. I was in a staff meeting when I receive a page from front desk saying "Rafael to the front, there is a person that wants to talk to you".
I quickly came to see what was going on. As soon as I got to the front desk I heard my name. It was Carlos who now lives in northern BC. He has a wife and 2 kids of his own. He said this: "I have been trying to make time and come here to talk to you. I want to tell you that what we talked about happened for me." Carlos showed me his car key and said that he has his own house. It was a great moment for me and that I happen to be working that day. I came back a few hours later and staff told me that the same person made a surprise donation to Covenant House. I must say that the impression of that day resonates with my beliefs on caring for others. It is such a great pleasure to see changes in human beings.
Finally, I think that a person in the moment might struggle to meet his needs but in the end if a person persists, he will achieve his goals.
Thank you for letting me share this story. - Rafael, Youth Worker

New York City Council Requires PCB Alerts |
The New York City Council has voted to require the Department of Education to notify parents when PCBs are discovered in fluorescent lighting in a city school, the Schoolbook blog reports.

The New York City Council has voted to require the Department of Education to notify parents when PCBs are discovered in fluorescent lighting in a city school, the Schoolbook blog reports.
The federal Environmental Protection Agency and the New York City Council speaker, Christine C. Quinn, are both calling for replacing school light fixtures that are leaking PCBs in five years or less, putting more pressure on the Bloomberg administration to speed up its planned time line of 10 years.
The E.P.A. will cite the five-year target in written remarks to be delivered Wednesday afternoon at an oversight hearing by council committees on the city's plans. It is the first time the agency has given a number to the shorter time frame it is seeking in its negotiations with the city. "The city can and should take steps to achieve this," the officials write.
In her own statement for the hearing, Ms. Quinn says she supports a five-year time frame and urges the administration to work with the E.P.A. to revise its plans. "We should err on the side of caution when addressing health matters pertaining to children in our schools," the statement says.
The issue of replacing old fluorescent light fixtures became a pressing one for the city after a pilot study that began last year identified leaking lighting ballasts as a major source of high levels of the toxic chemical compounds known as PCBs in air samples taken from schools. Subsequent spot inspections of schools by the E.P.A. this year suggested that the problem was prevalent throughout the school system.

As New York City and the federal Environmental Protection Agency continue to differ over the urgency of identifying and removing school lighting fixtures that contain PCBs, a public interest group is suggesting that the city could have been more forthcoming about the problem.
After filing a Freedom of Information Act request, New York Lawyers for the Public Interest obtained complete test results from a 2010 pilot study that sounded the alarm about contamination in school buildings from PCBs, a toxic chemical compound. The study identified leaking lighting ballasts as a major source of high levels of PCBs in air samples at three schools.
But while the city posted the results of tests of air samples last August at its Web site, the lawyers say it left out the results of tests on lighting ballasts and caulk, the two major sources of the contamination. Those results showed very high levels of PCBs, similar to levels that the E.P.A. found this year in spot inspections of light fixtures at other schools.

GM negotiator meets with Opel task force in Berlin

WASHINGTON, Aug 24 (Reuters) – The Obama administration will not use the U.S. majority-ownership stake in General Motors Corp. to influence the automaker's choice of a buyer for its Opel operations in Europe, an administration official said on Monday. The official, asked whether the U.S. Treasury's autos task force would weigh in on the issue or leave it up to GM's management and board, said the administration was available to consult with the German government on the Opel issue, but would not get involved in GM's decision.

One of the pleasant surprises of the 2013 NFL season thus far has been the play of Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush. Drafted second-overall in the 2006 NFL Draft, Bush has never manged to live up to that status, and has even received a "bust" label by many.
With the New Orleans Saints, Bush was nothing more than a glorified scat-back who was good for 40-60 receptions per year, but never received an abundance of carries due to his tendency to shy-away from contact:
"I just remember that my head was spinning and I was trying to outrun everybody to the sideline."

Sean Elliot's commentary rarely suits the tastes of fans other than the San Antonio Spurs. And on the Friday night broadcast, Sean Elliot again went into override over Sacramento Kings forward DeMarcus Cousins' comments regarding San Antonio Spurs captain Tim Duncan.
While wrapping up the night's broadcast after the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Sacramento Kkings 97-86, Sean Elliot openly criticized DeMarcus Cousins for "trash talking" about the Future Hall of Famer Tim Duncan, by the end of the fourth quarter.
After scoring two baskets and drawing a shooting foul on Tim Duncan at the five minute mark, DeMarcus Cousins made an emotional-driven rant to his teammates on the bench.
According to Sean Elliot, DeMarcus Cousins said something along the line of, ""I'm going to bust his (expletive)."
Sean Elliot's comment came in the final four minutes when Tim Duncan punished DeMarcus Cousins by blocking hi at the rim and scoring three baskets.
"That's why some humility is in order. You think you're dominating Tim Duncan, you get it stuffed right back in your face," Sean Elliot expressed in his postgame comments. "Timmy doesn't like to talk trash. But if guys start talking mess to him, he's going to respond. All that trash talking was premature."
"I'm not about to let these guys off the hook. Young ballclub should learn from this. Don't start talking and flapping your gums against one of the greatest players ever," added Sean Elliot. "He's going to make you pay. Tell me who got the best of this exchange."
DeMarcus Cousins obviously wasn't going to get ripped-off and leave without giving Sean Elliot a piece of his mind. The Sacramento Kings player, still dressed in team uniform, waited for Sean Elliot to finish the night's post game broadcast and hounded him on court at the Sleep Train Arena.
"I was wondering why Cousins was out there in his uniform waiting for them (Sean Elliot and fellow broadcaster Bill Land) to finish his postgame show," said play-by-play man Bill Schoening, who witnessed the entire incident. "Then I saw them in an animated conversation out on the court."
"I observed Sean walk away from Cousins and Cousins continue to talk to Sean as he left the scene," added Bill Schoening, "but I couldn't hear what was being said."
The NBA is aware of the confrontation between Sean Elliot and DeMarcus Cousins, and reviewing the incident, according to a league spokesperson.
Later, DeMarcus Cousins said that he was just pumped-up after a successful play in the game and believed Sean Elliot read too much into the situation.
"I mean me and Tim – we're good," said DeMarcus Cousins, who has often complimented Tim Duncan in the past. "Like I said, I have the utmost respect (for him). But for the commentator to say the things that he said – that was immature."

Do One Thing Every Day That Scares You: A Journal of 365 Acts of Braveryby Robie Rogge and Dian Smith
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Each day is an opportunity to perform one small act of bravery; singing out loud, asking for help, admitting a mistake, pitching an idea, accepting a compliment, changing your hair, going for the prize, failing spectacularly and trying again. This journal contains a year's worth of fear-facing prompts and mottoes of encouragement. It provides space to jot down daily examples of your own courage — the small steps that culminate in one bold year. Jotting down one thing a day, especially on fortifying subjects like gratitude and happiness, is an enormously popular journaling practice (one that is recommended by nearly every best-selling self-help author). Bravery is another key ingredient of self-actualization, so why not make a daily habit of thinking courageously? This journal is perfect for recent graduates, milestone birthdays, or as a year-end holiday gift to kick off "New Year, New You" projects.
