A review of Alex Gibney's "Mr. Dynamite: The Rise of James Brown," airing on HBO on Monday, October 27.
Three young men spent 18 years in prison, one under a death sentence, for a horrifying triple murder they clearly did not commit. The apparent killer is still walking the streets of West Memphis, Ark. The documentary "West of Memphis" is the fourth film about one of the most heinous cases of wrongful conviction in American judicial history.
Do we need a fourth film? Yes, I think we do. If you only see one of them, this is the one to choose, because it has the benefit of hindsight. Here is the bottom line: In 1993, the bodies of three young boys were found bound, mutilated and drowned in a drainage canal in the Robin Hood Hills neighborhood of West Memphis. A month later, three local teenagers were linked to the crime after one of them confessed; the prosecution claimed it was a satanic cult murder.
This charge was seized upon by local residents, and some of the evidence seemed to fit. Also, the suspects were described as "weird" heavy metal fans who often wore black. The community seemed convinced of their guilt.
Amy Berg's "West of Memphis" opens with a great deal of footage that is shockingly detailed and grisly, with gruesome descriptions. It's so graphic it's hard to watch. These accounts of the murders were connected by the prosecution to the defendants, Jessie Misskelley, Jr., 17; Jason Baldwin, 16, and Damien Echols, 18, regarded as the group's leader. After Misskelley described the killings in a long, rambling confession that took up a full day, Echols was the only one charged with first-degree murder.
Misskelley is characterized in the film as "borderline mentally retarded," with an IQ around 70. Baldwin comes across as quiet and shy, a "nice boy." Echols seems the most intelligent and charismatic. The three kids liked to hang out together, often playing video games in malls.
Once they had the confession, authorities were convinced they had the killers. "West of Memphis" uses extracts from the tape-recorded police interrogation that imply that most of the details in the confession were suggested to the youth, that key terms were introduced for him to agree with, and that after hours and hours, he was going along with everything. This despite confusion about what time the alleged events took place between noon and 8 p.m., and photographs and evidence providing all three defendants with alibis — crucially Echols, who was participating in a wrestling match some miles away.
There is a conclusion here, asking to be drawn. The reality of satanic-cult rituals are part of the narrative in many churches in that area, and the public and perhaps the jury were predisposed to believe them. Yet in three earlier documentaries, "Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills," "Paradise Lost 2: Revelations" and "Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory," directed by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky, the case against the accused was systematically demolished.
Prosecutors brought a new suspect onstage. John Mark Byers, the adoptive father of one of the victims, said and did strange things on camera, and supplied the filmmakers with a knife that that tests matched to wounds on the victims' bodies. It was easy to conclude he was the real killer, but in this film, Terry Hobbs, stepfather of another victim, is linked by DNA to a human hair found tightly tied up within a shoelace knot that was used to bind a victim. And the makers of "West Memphis Three" get a call on their "tip line" from a witness who said he overheard conversations linking Hobbs to the killings.
Most of the observers now believe Hobbs is the likely killer. Decide for yourself. He will never be charged, because the state of Arkansas, in a bombshell plea bargain, offered the three prisoners a deal where they would walk free if they went through the formality of pleading guilty, shielding the state from the possibility of later lawsuits. The film argues that the state considered it more important to protect itself than the rights of the defendants.
The West Memphis Three became the kind of case that got people stirred up. Stars like Eddie Vedder, the Dixie Chicks and Johnny Depp raised funds and drew attention. Eventually enough people got involved that five of the principals in "West of Memphis" are now walking free, and quite possibly only four should be.

The radio silence the past months has not been because I did not write or come up with new ideas, on the contrary, I think it was the most productive and instructive period of my life so far. Working with the Lebanese partners in the consultancy firm; apprehending what happened around me; meeting all the interesting people in Beirut, left me little time to update the blog.
Foremost, over the past months I came to realize how exciting working in an office can be. The consultancy firm, Beyond Reform & Development, that I assisted in, is engaged in numerous projects throughout the Middle East. Projects initiated by Arabs, for Arabs and hence with the consent and drive of the people that hopefully will benefit from those projects.
At the moment I have just returned to the Netherlands and in the coming weeks I will reflect on the situation in the Middle East from the perspective of my position as an intern in Beirut. These are insights I realized the value of after, for example, I read the label on a beer bottle or tried to understand the behaviour of the cat in my flat.

Used in fighting games, projectiles are objects that a fighter can launch at another fighter to attack from a distance. While they can be used to simply inflict damage, projectiles are often used to maneuver opponents into disadvantageous positions.
Featured mainly in fighting games, special attacks usually require more than just pressing a button to activate. They are usually unique or at least varied between characters.
Commonly found in fighting games, a super meter increases when either a character takes or gives damage (depending on the game). There are many variations on the super meter, depending on the franchise or game.

Wednesday afternoon Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide were back on the practice field for the third time this spring and for the first time in full pads.
So far this spring redshirt freshman ArDarius Stewart has been an experiment at the safety position for Alabama, but he returned to the receivers for today's practice.
Receiver DeAndrew White was not spotted at practice as he continues to heal up from his unspecified surgery in the off-season. It's looking more and more unlikely that he will participate in A-Day this year.
Dillon Lee was working with both the inside and outside linebackers today and was actually among one of the first in line with the outside linebackers at one point in position drills. Saban confirmed after practice that Lee is competing for a starting job, and commending his size and speed.
When Alabama worked on the nickel defense Landon Collins and Nick Perry were the primary safeties with Jarrick Williams at the star. Cyrus Jones, Bradley Sylve, Tony Brown, and Eddie Jackson were all rotating in at the starting corner spots. When speaking about true freshman Tony Brown after practice Saban praised his competitiveness and said that he was "anxious to do the right things." Saban said he can contribute early but just needs to develop technique a bit more.
Defensive ends Jonathan Allen and A'Shawn Robinson, two candidates to take over for Jeoffrey Pagan and Ed Stinson on the defensive line, were both spotted with big braces on their arms. Allen's was covering his elbow while Robinson had one on his forearm.
After practice Nick Saban told the media that he liked the attitude and the way the players practiced in their first day in full pads.
Saban spoke about immaturity and needing players to buy in his process for success, and that the players have been responding thus far.
Both AJ McCarron and Jeoffrey Pagan were watching practice today.

Mitsubishi Aircraft's official launch of the proposed 100-seat MRJ100X will likely have to wait at least another year–or until after the first flight of the 88-seat MRJ90 some time in the middle of next year, as the company waits for the European airline market to show more tangible signs of recovery.
Mitsubishi i
The time for refinements to the Mitsubishi MRJ has nearly passed, as Mitsubishi Aircraft expects to freeze the regional jet's design within the next two months. The company has frozen all the interfaces between the various systems and the structural components, both in the 88-seat MRJ90, scheduled for Japanese certification in late 2013, and the 76-seat MRJ70, which would likely gain its certification roughly a year later.
Engineers and designers in Nagoya, Japan, have kept busy over the past year redrawing parts of the nascent Mitsubishi MRJ regional jet to satisfy the evolving desires of potential and existing airline customers. However, in the expectation that they will freeze the airplane's design in the third quarter of 2010, the development team knows that the time for major changes has passed.

Regardless of their content and intended use, tweets (Twitter posts) often convey pertinent information about their author's mood status. As such, tweets can be regarded as temporally-authentic microscopic instantiations of public mood state. The image above shows how the public mood, measured along six different emotional indicators using aggregate Twitter data, changed before, during and after the US presidential election on November 4, 2008.
In this article - Modeling public mood and emotion: Twitter sentiment and socio-economic phenomena - I coauthored with Johan Bollen and Huina Mao, we perform a sentiment analysis of all public tweets broadcasted by Twitter users between August 1 and December 20, 2008. For every day in the timeline, we extract six dimensions of mood (tension, depression, anger, vigor, fatigue, confusion) using an extended version of the Profile of Mood States (POMS), a well-established psychometric instrument. We compare our results to fluctuations recorded by stock market and crude oil price indices and major events in media and popular culture, such as the U.S. Presidential Election of November 4, 2008 and Thanksgiving Day.
We find that events in the social, political, cultural and economic sphere do have a significant, immediate and highly specific effect on the various dimensions of public mood. We speculate that large scale analyses of mood can provide a solid platform to model collective emotive trends in terms of their predictive value with regards to existing social as well as economic indicators.

Not all Daily Deals are created equal – I have strict criteria that indicate that everything featured be below 25% off, and 9 out of 10 times, it's also on sale. I am tyrannical about savings.
Sometimes, though, it comes back to bite me. For instance, when a pair of highly-reputable jeans come across my view, and they're just abovethe price range for a Daily Deal despite being on sale, but…
They're loud, have-to-look-at-them apparel options, it's true… So potentially scary! Knowing how to wear denim covered in a print is definitely a chapter left out of most style handbooks. Fortunately, we have the IFH (Internet Fashion Hivemind).
So I quizzed them, I did - I said, "Hey! IFH! I bet you can't show me how to wear patterned patterned jeans!" and it once again slapped me across the face with its highly relevant and superior knowledge of how how to wear patterned jeans.
Usually the IFH is wide and varied in its response to my queries… This time, notsomuch. The IFH has clearly stated that printed denim & patterned jeans should be worn with a black, white, or otherwise super-neutral, solid top, and minimal accessories.

Carbondale IL 62901 USA
On a sunny, spring afternoon in 1992, Tom Egert drove home to Carbondale from St. Louis propelled by the sounds of reggae and salsa on his car radio. This enlivening musical mix broadcast by KDHX, St. Louis' community radio station, brought Tom happily within 20 miles of his home before he'd driven out of range of the station. Scanning the local radio dial, he could find no comparable musical programming and in that moment of frustration the idea of creating an invigorating, culturally diverse, community radio station in southern Illinois was born. Heterodyne Broadcasting Company, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization was founded in 1993 and ground for the station building was broken in the fall of 1995. The first Volunteer recruitment meetings were held February 6, 1996. Over 100 people attended the two meetings that day; from those, 40 completed training and began regular operations about two weeks later. At first the station was on the air from 4-10 p.m. daily and grew quickly from there. Currently, over 100 volunteers produce more than 80 weekly programs. Several have been on the air from the very beginning. Our programming is a mirror of the diversity of our community, with music from across the street to around the world, as well as a vibrant section of local talk programming and more.
In August 2003, thanks to the efforts of our founder Tom Egert, the late US Senator Paul Simon, and the generous contributions of our listeners, we increased our broadcast power from 700 to 3,000 watts. WDBX now covers all of Jackson and Williamson counties, as well as most of Perry and Franklin, and parts of Union, Johnson and Saline counties. In all, our signal can reach over 100,000 southern Illinoisans. In December of 2005, thanks to the efforts of member James Throgmorton and Neon Internet, we began streaming live at wdbx.org. WDBX can now be heard around the world!
WDBX is governed by a seven-member Board of Directors, two of which are permanent members of the Heterodyne Broadcasting Company, and five are elected or appointed for a two-year term at the discretion of the Heterodyne Broadcasting Company Board. The Station Manager is responsible to and appointed by the Heterodyne Broadcasting Company.

Investigators believe Solana Beach melee was gang related
An investigation was under way Sunday into an apparent-gang related melee that left two people seriously hurt with stab wounds and another pair with minor injuries, authorities said.
Deputies were called to a house in the 800 block of Vera Street around 6:50 p.m. Sunday where they found the first two victims, said San Diego County sheriff's Sgt. Brian McCauley.
Both had serious but not life-threatening wounds, according to the sergeant. Paramedics took both victims to a local hospital, where one went into surgery, he said.
While deputies were investigating the circumstances surrounding the attacks, two other victims showed up at the house, with lesser stab injuries, McCauley said, adding they were taken by ambulance to another hospital.

The action heats up?and so does the temperature?for Manny, Sid, Diego and Scrat. Trying to escape the valley to avoid a flood of trouble, the comical creatures embark on a hilarious journey across the thawing landscape and meet Ellie, a female woolly mammoth who melts Manny's heart. With its dazzling animation, unforgettable characters and an all-new Scrat short, Ice Age: The Meltdown is laugh-out-loud fun for the whole family! Amazon.comThe love life of a woolly mammoth--handled with G-rated delicacy--drives this sequel to the first computer-animated romp in the age of prehistoric mammals. While the first Ice Age took a delightful premise and suffocated it with a formulaic plot--in which a mammoth named Manfred (voiced by Ray Romano, Everyone Loves Raymond), a sloth named Sid (John Leguizamo, Moulin Rouge!), and a sabre-tooth tiger named Diego (Denis Leary, Rescue Me) helped an abandoned human infant return to its tribe (basically, Three Mammals and a Baby)--the sequel takes the now-familiar setting, gives it a shapeless, episodic storyline, and yet somehow becomes pretty darn entertaining. Faced with the threat of a flood from melting ice, our heroic trio are on the run to escape from their blossoming valley. On the way, they meet a female mammoth (Queen Latifah, Bringing Down the House) who thinks she's an opossum and get menaced by some freshly defrosted carnivo! rous fish. Add into the mix a herd of lava-worshipping mini-sloths, some Busby Berkeley-style vultures, and more ingenious slapstick featuring the acorn-crazed Scrat, and Ice Age: The Meltdown will amuse even jaded adults. -- Bret Fetzer Beyond Ice Age: The Meltdown Ice Age - Super Cool Edition Ice Age & Ice Age 2: The Meltdown - (DVD 2-Pack) Funtastic Adventures Collection Box Set (Ice Age / Robots / Fern Gully / Once Upon a Rainforest) Stills from Ice Age: The Meltdown (click for larger image) CERTAIN CONTENT THAT APPEARS ON THIS SITE COMES FROM AMAZON SERVICES LLC.

I planted a 4' row of these in a newly built raised bed in mid April. Though they grew up a trellis quickly and had pretty flowers, the yield was disappointingly low. The peas are best eaten when young - more mature peas get tough.

text: Chelsea Handler to Piers Morgan: 'You're a Terrible Interviewer' Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 13 Mar 2014 post a comment During her appearance this week on CNN's soon-to-be-canceled "Piers Morgan Live" Chelsea Handler tore into host Piers Morgan for being a terrible interviewer. It all started when Morgan ignored her during a commercial break to goof off on Twitter. -- -- PIERS: You tweet very amusingly. CHELSEA: I wish you did. PIERS: Ha. CHELSEA: I mean in the middle of the commercial break — I want your viewers to know, although they must know, because they're probably following you on Twitter. I mean you can't even pay attention for 60 seconds. You're a terrible interviewer. PIERS: Well you just weren't keeping my attention. CHELSEA: That's not my problem. PIERS: That is your problem. CHELSEA: This is your show. You have to pay attention to the guests that you invited on your show. PIERS: If they're interesting enough. CHELSEA: Yeah, listen. It doesn't matter how interesting I am. You signed up for this job. PIERS: Of course it does. CHELSEA: Well, maybe that's why your job is coming to an end. PIERS: Wow. CHELSEA: Wow. With the Piers-era coming to an end, even B-list celebrities like Handler have nothing to lose in beating the Brit up. It is not like he will be able to do anything for their career once his show goes *poof* later this month. One of the reasons politicians, celebrities, and talking heads put up with such awful cable news anchors is a desire to be on TV. If you attack the host, you probably won't get invited back. Piers no longer enjoys that protection. Follow John Nolte on Twitter @NolteNC

Ryan Grant Long's History of Gay Love
For my MFA thesis show, I designed a calendar that explores same-sex affection throughout history. I chose the calendar format for several reasons, not least of which is that the calendar is one of the most ubiquitous art forms on the planet. In contrast, LGBT people are often cast as the abnormal, subversive or abject "Other," even (or especially) in academic "queer theory" discourse. This work stands to correct that, inasmuch as homosexuality is a normal variation of human sexuality, and gay people have always existed and contributed to society. At the same time, this work intentionally overcorrects and almost takes on the form of hero worship, in its focus on great historical figures, and compositions and poses that echo those of conventional romantic images found in romance novels, movie posters and storybook fairy tales.
All of these depictions are based on real people (with the possible exception of David and Jonathan, who may have been legendary). Most of these historical figures are widely accepted to have been homosexual or bisexual. Some of them, such as Saints Sergius and Bacchus, are known for their unusual closeness, but scholars disagree on whether or not they were romantically involved. History isn't an exact science, and all too often truths are hidden or rewritten after the fact by people who wish to erase gay people from history.
This project wasn't about proving without a doubt whether or not a certain historical figure was gay; but rather exploring same-sex affection when enough evidence existed to at least consider it a reasonable possibility. Some scholars are quick to dismiss the love between men like David and Jonathan as merely "platonic," but ask yourself, if the love between a man and woman were described with as much passion and endearment, would anyone doubt that they may have been romantically involved?
The best part is that we're not even done. Isis and Osiris' baby is named Horus, and Horus and his uncle Set have some business to work out. Namely, who was the dominant of the two. And we're definitely using "dominant" in the prison-sex sense of the word. So when Set tried to have sex with his (now grown up) nephew, Horus caught the semen and showed it to his mother.
Isis flung the semen into the Nile, then magically caused her son's penis to rise, and caught some splooge of his own in a jar. Stay with us, because we're not done. Horus then took his juice and served it to Set on a salad.
By getting his uncle to ingest his semen, Horus was then above Set in rank, at least according to the gods' rule book.
And that is how you start a civilization."

One time I attempted to explain "The Contendings of Horus and Set" to my friend. She refused to eat salad for a year.

But with the idiots you've embraced, I suspect that you will forever be relegated to the sidelines.

Kennebec River Ferry Service
The Kennebec River is the most formidable un-bridged crossing along the entire 2,185-mile Appalachian Trail.
The Kennebec is approximately 70 yards wide with a swift, powerful current under the best of circumstances. However, as a result of releases of water from hydro facilities upstream, the depth and current of the river surge quickly and unpredictably. You cannot cross faster than the water level rises.
The MATC and the Appalachian Trail Conservancy have contracted with David P. Corrigan of Fletcher Mountain Outfitters to provide a scheduled ferry service across the Kennebec River at the A.T. crossing at no cost to hikers*.
2014 Ferry Schedule
|May 23 – July 10
|9 a.m. to 11 a.m. only
|July 11 – September 30
|9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
|October 1 – October 13
|9 a.m. to 11 a.m. only
As always, we will be "on call" time and weather permitting, during early May and late October. Hikers should call well in advance if they want to try to cross the River during these early and late season periods.
- Between May 1 and May 21, and also between October 13 and October 31, service will be available on a "Time and weather permitting" basis. Service is not guaranteed during these dates, and hikers should call in advance to see if service will be available. There will be no service available before or after these dates.
- * There is a good chance that ferry service will not be available before or after the regular season. All early/late season crossings cost $50 per crossing. [One or two hikers per crossing.]
- This ferry service — not fording — is the officially sanctioned means of crossing the Kennebec River on the Appalachian Trail. The A.T. was located here originally because of the existence of a ferry to provide access to Pierce Pond for visiting sportsmen.
- Hikers must meet the ferry on either the east or west banks of the Kennebec River at the point of the AT crossing. If the ferry is on the opposite side, a signal flag will be provided to alert the ferry operator.
- Hikers will be required to sign a release form, wear a life jacket, and follow the instructions of the ferry operator. If river conditions or weather make the crossing dangerous in the judgment of the ferry operator, the service will be discontinued until conditions improve.
- Large groups please call ahead to indicate when you will need the ferry service. No camping and no fires are permitted within the Trail corridor on either side of the Kennebec River. Camping and fires are permitted only at designated campsites.
- This service is provided only for users of the Appalachian Trail and is not available to the general public.
Donations to help defray the cost of providing the Ferry Service are welcome.

Marcus Nidiffer, Professional Baseball Player I take pride in calling pitches, setting hitters up, and trying to seek their weaknesses out but you can't always throw it for them. One of the best players at exploiting pitchers was Connor Powers. It only takes one mistake and he almost never missed it. He is a player you will learn a TON from.
Ivan Cruz, San Diego Padres Minor League Hitting Instructor and Former MLB Player I have known Connors for the past 2 years and it was always a pleasure working with him. Smart, funny and super hard working individual. His willingness to learn both the physical and mental aspects of baseball will greatly benefit his pupils…Best of luck!!
Cory Spangenberg, 1st Round Pick 2011 San Diego Padres In just my first year of professional baseball I learned a TON about hitting just from talking with Connor about the mental and physical aspects of hitting. His advice transferred over quickly and was invaluable in my transition from Junior College into Professional Baseball
Jeff Flagg, Former New York Mets Organization Player I remember when Connor showed up at Mississippi State and a few teammates and I asked him what position he played. He said, "I just hit." We laughed about it later. He certainly didn't. Now he's 4th in career Home Runs behind Rafael Palmeiro and Will Clark. Keep your eyes and ears open when this man is talking!

The title itself was over 180 characters. Haha.
But seriously. I just read something that really put things into perspective for me. I won't directly quote the person but it really hit home. In situations like that I can't help but feel like it's god trying to send a message. On the surface it looks like I have it all figured out. But I've been going through an identity crisis the last couple months. And the quote that I'm speaking of just made me realize why. I'm just not happy. Now. Do I have things in my life that make me happy? Job, beautiful girlfriend, a bunch of earthly possessions(shoes, cars and shit). But it's just something missing. I've always believed that happiness was achieved through spiritual enlightenment. Meaning you can have a million things. But if you don't Love the person looking back through the mirror. It all means nothing. Maybe I'm just beginning my journey. My journey to self righteousness. I know it sounds like a bunch of rambling. But it's just me. Whispering muted screams to an invisible audience. Don't mind me.

Tony Daniel To Start New "Massive" Project For DC
- Written by IvCNuB4 on Friday, March 22 2013 and posted in News with Benefits
Source: Facebook
As announced yesterday, Tony Daniel is taking over as Writer and Artist for the remainder of the current arc on Action Comics which ends with issue # 21 (June). At that time he will take on assisting with a new "massive" project for DC.
In response to yesterday's announcement about Diggle leaving the title, Daniel posted on his Facebook page:
"Yes, many have heard, Andy Diggle left Action Comics after the first issue. I can only say I feel bad he made that decision. I think it was the wrong one, but that was his choice to make" ."For the remainder of the arc I'll be working off his plots to finish out this first arc ... so essentially, I become 'scripter' in the credits w/ Andy as 'plotter'."

Marvel Comics will reacquire the Star Wars license from Dark Horse in 2015, much to the surprise of no one.
We first reported of the possible Marvel takeover back in December 2012; back then, though, we thought the hand-off would occur in 2014 (2013 was the last year on DH's contract). Apparently Dark Horse scored some extra time to finish out their ongoing books.
Dark Empire, the first DH-published Star Wars book, released in 1991. Several impressive one-offs and ongoing books followed, including adaptations of various Expanded Universe novels. Most of their titles were well-received amongst the fan community. Marvel published a Star Wars series from 1977-86; the profits from it, according to former Marvel editor-in-chief Jim Shooter, kept the company alive in the late '70s.
"Dark Horse Comics published exceptional Star Wars comics for over 20 years, and we will always be grateful for their enormous contributions to the mythos, and the terrific partnership that we had," said Carol Roeder, director of Lucasfilm franchise publishing, Disney Publishing Worldwide. "In 2015, the cosmic adventures of Luke, Han, Leia and Chewbacca will make the lightspeed jump back to Marvel, to begin a new age of adventures within the Star Wars universe."
"We here at Marvel could not be more excited to continue the publication of Star Wars comic books and graphic novels," said Marvel Worldwide Publisher and President, Dan Buckley. "The perennial brand of Star Wars is one of the most iconic in entertainment history and we are honored to have the opportunity to bring our creative talent pool to continue, and expand Star Wars into galaxies far, far away."
Will some of Dark Horse's current books be relaunched at Marvel? If anything, they should at least allow Brian Wood's Star Wars to continue. It looks like they'll begin with a clean slate, unfortunately. Will you be checking out Marvel's Star Wars books? Let us know in the comments.

There was 1:30 left in the game. The Irish were up by 3 against top-ranked USC, looking to end the Trojans' 27-game winning streak.
The next play would likely be the play that defines Ambrose Wooden's career.
A play where Wooden probably couldn't have done much more than he did. One where his outstretched arms just weren't enough to knock down a perfect pass from Matt Leinart to Dwayne Jarrett.
It resulted in a 61-yard completion inside the Irish 30-yard line.
3 plays later, with just 7 seconds left in the game, the Trojans would go for it from the 2-yard line.
Reggie Bush would help push Leinart into the endzone to give the Trojans the unbelievable 34-31 win.
Looking back two years later, Wooden isn't ashamed of the play. He says he has learned a lot from it and has become a better person because of it.
At the time it happened however, Wooden took the play pretty hard.
In the locker room, he was taking the responsibility for the loss. But Charlie Weis says he wouldn't allow Wooden to take such a responsibility because that's not how the Irish operate.
Despite losing the game, those that played and coached in it, say it was a defining Saturday in their careers.
It's a game Trevor Laws is very proud to be a part of.
Weis says the same thing, but stressed how much he wishes that defining Saturday wasn't a loss.

Reducing supply chain barriers could increase global GDP and world trade much more than reducing all import tariffs, according to a report released today by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with Bain & Co. and the World Bank.
"Enabling Trade: Valuing Growth Opportunities," found that if all countries reduce supply chain barriers halfway to global best practice, global GDP could increase by 4.7 percent and world trade by 14.5 percent. In comparison, eliminating tariffs could increase GDP by 0.7 percent and world trade by 10.1 percent.
According to the report, lowering the barriers is effective because it eliminates resource waste and reduces costs to trading firms, and, by extension, lowers prices for consumers and businesses.
The study also outlines how policies can create unnecessary supply chain costs and inefficiencies and provides recommendations for governments.

Day 5: Princess Leia Organa - Carrie Fisher ("Star Wars")
She's a political leader. A rebel leader. She fights on the ground and she commands the troops. She's a head of state and she's a princess. She never backs down from impossible odds or terrifying enemies. She might need rescuing when we meet her but so does everyone at some point and she more than returns the favor. When you think she's trapped, she'll strangle you with the chain you thought you'd trapped her with.

Poll staff airlifted, others trekking to remote Ladakh areas
Polling parties and election materials were dispatched Sunday to six far-flung polling stations of Leh district in Jammu and Kashmir for voting in the Ladakh Lok Sabha constituency scheduled May 7.
The six stations are Lingshet, Skumpata, Dipling, Hunkar, Markha and Rumbag.
"Staff along with election material for Lingshet, Skumpata and Dipling polling stations have been airlifted by helicopter. The personnel for Hunker, Markha and Rumbag polling stations will trek to their destination along with the poll material.
"The voting officials and equipment for Yulchung and Nyraks polling stations would be airlifted tomorrow (Monday).
"Returning officer, Leh, Simrandip Singh is supervising the collection and distribution process of election materials/EVMs at Degree College, Leh today (Sunday)," an Election Commission statement issued Sunday said.
Voting process will begin May 7 at 7 a.m. in some of the world's most inaccessible places in the cold desert Ladakh region of the state.
Discovery Channel is filming the Herculean exercise to help people in places that remain cut off from the outside world for more than seven months each year, to exercise their franchise.
Polling stations have been set up at such inaccessible places for as few as 90 voters.
The seat has four candidates in the fray -- one each from the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party besides two independents.

GBTV - 24/7 Giant Bomb Videos
By eccentrix 0 Comments
Somewhere around last week, Tubesynch came into existence. So, being one of the first people there, I made what has been requested for a long time: a chat room where Giant Bomb fans can watch Giant Bomb videos together non-stop. You can find it here.
But, I'm not making this post to advertise, just to clarify my uses for the room. Here are the guidelines I follow when choosing which videos to add to the queue:
- No videos which are just talking for too long. This means no long-form interviews, morning show or site redesign stuff. Also, no Bombcast stuff. There's already a place for that. Videos taken around the office are okay, like Mailbags and unboxing videos. Short E3-style interviews are probably fine.
- Single clips are good, but no highlight montages or Best Ofs. I want to keep a cohesive feel.
- Cohesion also requires no single parts of a series. Game Room Quick Looks don't count, and having two parts to something is okay as long as the length is good. I don't want to get into marathon stuff just yet.
I have to queue everything up manually, so if anyone wants to help, that'd be great. I'm happy to appoint what Tubesynch calls Leaders to help manage the queue for when I'm not around. Right now, I'm accepting anyone whose username I recognise from the site, so if you want to help out, let me know your Tubesynch username on here and I'll let you know if I know you :P
Also, I'll let anyone site mods be mods for this chat, if they want. Here are the rules: Don't ruin chat. Being a jerk is fine, I think, just as long as you don't ruin chat for everyone else.
It's not usually busy, but there's always someone idling, so jump in and have fun. If you don't like what's on, look down the list and come back later. I'll turn on voteskip when I know it's working right. Like I said, Tubesynch is about a week old, so they're still working stuff out, too.
I think that's it! Let me know if you have any questions, suggestions or comments.

Offense wins the glory, but in the NFL, defense wins championships. Which team could field the very best unit in 2014?
#5 – New England Patriots
People easily forget how banged up the New England Patriots were on defense in 2013. Their best linebacker Jerod Mayo was out most of the season. Star nose tackle Vince Wilfork tore his Achilles after four games. That isn't counting the various losses they suffered throughout the year that weren't season-ending. Now the Pats will get those guys back healthy, but in addition to it all they will have two Pro Bowl corners to join then in Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner. With a great coach like Bill Belichick to guide them, this group may surprise a lot in 2014.
#4 – Carolina Panthers
If this were purely ranking front sevens, there is no question the Carolina Panthers would be on top. They have a defensive line headlined by Greg Hardy and Charles Johnson and perhaps the best linebacker in the NFL in Luke Kuechly. Spearheaded by them, Carolina fielded the 2nd best defense in football last season. Unfortunately questions abound regarding their secondary at both corner and safety. Until that gets resolved, the Panthers will have to settle for #4 on this list.
#3 – Kansas City Chiefs
For a time last year there was no better defense in the league than the Kansas City Chiefs thanks to a dynamic pass rush centered around Justin Houston, Tamba Hali and Dontari Poe. Soon though injuries began to eat away at them, that and a rather suspect secondary that allowed 367 yards per game. Hopes are high that better health and some additions made via the draft will better deal with those two problems this NFL season. Bottom line, if their pass rush continues to perform like it can then they will be in the hunt.
#2 – Seattle Seahawks
They were the best defense last year and considered one of the best of the past decade. Much of the success for the Seattle Seahawks came through their secondary but it went beyond that. With stars Earl Thomas and Richard Sherman locked up long-term, they remain clear contenders for the crown of top defense but the reason they fall back a spot is because of the considerable losses they suffered in free agency. Among them included Red Bryant, Chris Clemons, Clinton McDonald, and Walter Thurmond. That is a lot of depth and veteran leadership lost. Time will tell how it affects them.
#1 – New Orleans Saints
Where the Seahawks mostly lost key names, the New Orleans Saints were busy adding more talent. In NFL free agency they may have nabbed the steal of the year when they got three-time Pro Bowl safety Jairus Byrd who was widely considered the best overall player available. On top of that they got future Hall of Fame corner Champ Bailey and then added the lengthy 6'3″ corner Stanley Jean-Baptiste in the draft. Their defense, which ranked 4th last year, is deeper and more talented than before. If things progress as they could, New Orleans may field not only the best offense but the best defense in the NFL this season.
