Fatty Ground Lamb, what to do with it?!!
A friend of mine just asked me whether I had any ideas for what to do with VERY fatty ground lamb that she just bought from Peapod. I suggested that she brown it and drain off the fat and then use it in a sauce of some kind. That is not the most creative solution. Anyone have any ideas?
re: woodleyparkhound
Do you think that the fact that this is REALLY fatty will be problematic in either of those recipes?
re: rjlebed
No, because for both you cook the meat first. Extra fat could be poured off before adding onions, etc.
Lamb sausage would be great way to use a fatty ground lamb. There are many recipes on the net
Try this recipe right from this site. I made this on Thursday night...great
Drain the fat if it's excessive. I have not drained the supermarket pre-ground lamb that I use in this recipe, because the fat does add flavor and unctuousness.
highly recommend this recipe--the fattiness of the lamb is part of the richness/deliciousness: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/6981...
This lamb kofta recipe with yogurt mint sauce is delicious! We eat them on pitas. The recipe is from Martha Stewart - The New Classics cookbook.
Lamb Kofta
- serves 6 to 8 -
Kofta can be prepared up to 30 minutes before serving; place the patties on a baking sheet, cover with aluminum foil, and keep warm in a 250°F oven.
1 pound ground lamb
4 teaspoons Spice Mixture (recipe follows)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large egg
1/2 onion, grated on the large holes of a box grater (1/2 cup)
1 garlic clove, minced
1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted and chopped
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
Yogurt Mint Sauce, for serving (recipe follows)
1. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the oil and yogurt sauce. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a wooden spoon. Form the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls, and flatten the balls into ovals or football shapes, about 1/4 inch thick.
2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/2 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat. Add half the lamb patties. Cook until the first side is golden brown, about 3 minutes; flip the patties, and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
3. Wipe the skillet with a paper towel; heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil. Repeat the process with the remaining lamb patties. Serve warm or at room temperature with yogurt sauce on the side.
Spice Mixture
- makes 1/4 cup -
4 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
4 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Mix the spices together in a small bowl or container. Store, tightly sealed, at room temperature up to 3 months.
Yogurt Mint Sauce
- makes 1 cup -
8 ounces plain whole-milk yogurt, preferably Greek-style
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, minced
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl, and stir well to combine.
When I make samosas, I do cook the lamb and drain the fat. After the meat is out of the pan, I cook the vegetables, toast the spices and then throw the meat back in for a moment before assembling.
Just another idea to add to the great ones above.

Morgan Daniele
The baby-faced Taurus beauty and brain behind the G.O.O.D. Girlz' Fourth of July Beauty & Brains explosion [click to view] sits her size 34-24-40 frame down to give advice on how skinny girls can become thick, how Lashontae Heckard inspired her career path and mentions a few things you should know before moving to the 'A.'
Beauty & Brains: So, you're a Georgia girl, huh?
Morgan Daniele: Yes, born and raised... I lived in Atlanta for a minute, but I go to Savannah State University for school. The city is nice, you know… for tourists. You have the beach, you can hang out over there, but the crime rate is still high. [Laughs] But, honestly, it's like that everywhere you go. Times are tough.
B&B: I've always wondered what life is like for y'all southern belles down there. Is the "thickness" appreciation felt worldwide? Or is there nothing like the south?
MD: I wouldn't know… I have a lot of people who approach me online from different places who love it. There are a lot of girls who have come from the north who have changed their eating patterns so they can become thick. They'd ask me how I got thick and I don't think I'd ask anyone that question. [Laughs]
B&B: Well… for those who need some tutoring – what should they do to get thick?
MD: [Laughs] I don't know… I just eat cornbread, chicken, collard green, work out and go to school. I guess it's genetics, but I'm not the type of person who doesn't appreciate the compliments. People don't even have to compliment you, so I appreciate it. They don't have to say shit. I had a guy throw a shoe bag at me. [Laughs] He wanted to get my attention, but you don't do that! [Laughs] That's not something that you do – I think that's weird. I was 16. I was taken back. He apologized, though. One time in Augusta, this was when I was really starting to really develop, there was this guy was following me. I was so nervous. He was trying to talk to me. I went downstairs in the mall and he was throwing ice at me from upstairs. [Laughs] Dudes these days… they never cease to amaze me!
B&B: So, does the music videos of today offend you as a woman? Or do they do much to give you work?
MD: That's the thing… I've done a music video or two… I don't talk about 'em. I wasn't offended because I enjoy watching the videos. I dance, I draw and I play the violin. The music video, to me, is another form of art. I know what they're saying may be risqué. If a girl wants to do something raunchy, that's fine. It's not directed towards me, individually, so I'm not offended by that. As far as work, it just depends on what kind of video you're trying to do. Not everyone is going to do one where their ass is out and they're naked, not everyone is going to want to do the one where everyone is classy.
B&B: How did Lashontae Heckard inspire you to get into modeling?
MD: I love her. She is so beautiful to me. The first time I saw her was in that Dru Hill video, "I Love You." I thought she was so pretty. I wanted to be just like her when I grew up. I talked to her for a little while on MySpace – it wasn't a deep conversation – but when she was in school she was doing what she was supposed to do. I respected that. You can't model forever. When you get 80, you can't model anymore. Like with Tyra Banks, you can do it still and because there are different types of modeling – couture, print, commercial, and so many different types – you can be successful in the end. I love Lashontae. She's so positive and I would love to meet her one day. She's a wonderful woman.
B&B: And you love the modeling life you're living now?
MD: [Sighs] It's fun… I'll say that. I know that I can be doing more, but I'm in school, right now. I'm in Savannah. It's small. It's not like being in those major cities. It's bigger than Augusta, but smaller than Atlanta. It's hard to do the things that I want to do when school comes first. I enjoy modeling. I do hair, I do makeup, I style, but school comes first at the end of the day. When I get some down time from school, I can put more effort into modeling.
B&B: Does that make it hard to love in your personal life?
MD: My boyfriend is a singer. While I'm out doing a photo shoot, he's out singing or in the studio. I actually do a lot for him. I do a lot of promotional modeling for him, as a way to help him out. He'll go with me to photo shoots. I'd go with him to the studio, but a lot of people in Savannah don't take too kindly to females in the studio.
B&B: By falling hard in love in your personal life – does having your work to fall on, ultimately make you happy?
MD: I feel like it's a perfect balance. Everything for me now, it is what it is. I wouldn't change my life at all. I love my friends, my boyfriend and my family. I like everything that's going on. I've had a few offers to be in magazine, but I'm just waiting for the right agency. I'd rather have people handle things for me, instead of taking all that stress and placing it on myself.
B&B: How do you balance that with your Criminal Justice major?
MD: I'm a Criminal Justice/Psychology major. School comes first, it sometimes gets hard. I go out and do different events. Education is the most important thing. If I gained 90 pounds, then I'd still have my education to fall back on.
B&B: Seems like you have a full plate – who do you rely on when you need a shoulder to lean on?
MD: My grandma is my everything! She is my sanity. She is the sweetest little Southern lady. I can be sick at five in the morning and she'll have peroxide as a cure for everything. [Laughs]
B&B: Now that it's cool to be from the south, to live in Georgia – what are a few things that people should know before moving there?
MD: It's hot as hell. [Laughs] If you're from the North, you have to be aware of the weather. My photographer… [laughs] he has changed his whole shooting pattern because of the weather! I know a lot of photographers and they'll usually shoot from 8:00 am till 1:00 pm. But he'll wait till the sun almost goes down because he can't take the heat! He was really sweating. [Laughs] It's hot… that's the first thing they need know! Another thing people should know is that we eat grits down here. People aren't as rude as they are everywhere else. When you come here, you'll feel really welcomed! As long as you have respect for people, they'll give you respect too. With the nightlife, there's always something to do. There are a ton of clubs to choose from. If that's not your vibe, then you can just chill out. The dating scene is interesting. I have a lot of gay friends. For me, I have seen a lot of guys from my school, who I saw and no one would expect them to be there. It's alright to come out of the closet. There are so many people who are homophobic and I don't. I got slapped in the face with reality, people are going to do what they want to do and it depends on how much you're willing to take. If you can understand that and know that you can't change people, you'll be alright…
B&B: With the music, the women and the life on point in Atlanta – would you ever leave?
MD: Yeah, I would leave Georgia, but when I am old and I can't do anything anymore I'd move right on back! I don't think I would move too far away from my family. I love my family. I'd probably move to Miami because that's close to home.
B&B: As you continue to grow in this business – what is next for you and what can people do to continue to support you?
MD: I don't see myself how people may see me, but as far as people believing in me – I had people who told me that I couldn't model. So, for those who do and will enjoy seeing me on TV and in magazines, as long as they understand that I'm doing what I'm doing, then I'm good. Even people who talk bad about me, I welcome that…

Insider knowledge: Glen Avon 1959 (Gordon and MacPhail) whisky is named whisky by virtue of the fact it's from Scotland. If distilled in America the spelling would be Glen Avon 1959 (Gordon and MacPhail) whiskey, as opposed to whisky.
The nose is fresh, light and sweet. There are beautiful notes of sultana and mixed peels, an Oloroso sherry note develops with a touch of cut fruit. The palate is of good body, there are rich notes of wood smoke and barley, a honeyed character and sherried peels, a chewy sultana note develops with supple oak. The finish is long and well-oaked with a touch of sultana and Oloroso.

23rd Oct: It's time for the second TV Tropes Halloween Avatar Contest, theme: cute monsters! Details and voting here.
main index
Sailor Moon was never meant to be a real Senshi.She was meant to be a strategic weapon. Compare the differences in power levels between the planetary senshi and Sailor Moon. The senshi are tactical, fighting essentially on the unit level. Moon is capable of devastating entire planets. Without direct In-Universe evidence, it can't be known for sure; but it's likely that the senshi were empowered in some way. Moon must have been similarly "manufactured".
The "Terminator Moon" personality who shows up at the end of the series is Sailor Moon's real, original personality."Princess Serenity" was an artificial persona applied over it to make dealing with the weapon easier or to camouflage it. Usagi is a real persona who grew up around the weapon identity, probably unintentionally, as a side effect of the reincarnation.
If Sailor Saturn exists in this continuity, she will have a different power set than that possessed by the anime/manga version.Because "Terminator Moon" already has the "world-killer" ability.
"Princess" Sailor Moon is a reincarnation of the Ide energy taking its third swipe at Human existencePrincess Sailor Moon is even jokingly referred to as "Sailor Ideon" in some circles. In short, the Ide in Ideon sought the destruction of both humanity and the Buff Clan because it viewed them unworthy of existing. It destroyed everything but wasn't able to stop everything being reborn. Cue "God gigantis: Ideon vs Gundam" where Amuro and the ZZ protagonist have to deactivate the Ideon before Neo Zeon can do anything stupid with it. Swing and a miss for the Ide. Though Humanity does itself in several times (End of Clasic Gundam some time after V, G Gundam, Wing, X, Seed and Turn A - 00 happened prior to Ideon), it always comes back. Turn A's Moonlight butterfly technology turns all techonolgy to sand and ends the Gundam meme permanently. In the Silver Millenium, the Ide is reborn as Princess Serenity and, forgetting itself, falls in love with Endymion. The war between the Earth and the Moon happens, and Endymion is killed. The Ide reawakens and destroys everything in a fit of madness before killing itself, and it is then reincarnated into Usagi. This leads us to the events of PGSM. As for Saturn, instead of being the Ide (which strives for non-existence), she is the force that strives for the cycle of birth and death. Her powers will come from the necessity for there to be an end in order for there to be a beginning.
In this continuity, the Four Generals are the outer planets' guardians.Jadeite is Uranus's, Nephrite is Neptune's, Zoicite is Pluto's, and Kunzite is Saturn's. It explains how they were so different from each other and more powerful than their other versions.
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon actually has the Dark Kingdom's plot, but Sailor Moon S's ending.There's no denying the main plot was centered around the first story arc of the manga, the Dark Kingdom, but the climax and ending it so obviously based almost directly on Sailor Moon S, and the Senshi of Destruction and Rebirth . . . only instead of this Senshi being Sailor Saturn, its written as Sailor Moon instead. Both Usagi and Hotaru are innocent girls faced with fate, both have the power to destroy the planet, both have a horrible entity they can't control inside of them (Princess Serenity and Mistress 9) and both end up dying only to release the power of "Rebirth" in the end. Obviously the writers didn't like the ending of the original story but enjoyed the higher stakes and drama of the Sailor Moon S arc, thus, this is a retelling of both plots meshed together into one.
"Terminator Moon" is a combination between Sailors Moon and Saturn.Saturn was Princess Serenity's best friend in her past life. When Saturn took a hit for her friends, Moon absorbed Saturn into her body to keep her 'alive' in a sense. This caused Serenity to possess the power to destroy worlds, as well as causing her to act stronger when it comes to things she loves, namely Endymion. This led to the plot of PGSM.
Princess Sailor Moon is Queen Metalia.Princess Sailor Moon's actor is the same as Queen Metalia's is and Act 47 the characters say that Usagi could become Queen Metalia. What Endymion absorbed was some of Serenity's Silver Crystal energy and will.
Silver Millennium is English for Al-Hazard.And the Sailor Senshi are actually more powerful than Nanoha in a couple orders of magnitude, but Silver Millennium hadn't invented Devices yet and most of their firepower is wasted when they cast.
Minako's illness was caused by long-term stress and exhaustion.Between being Minako Aino, an extremely popular and busy J-pop idol who sings and dances, and regularly fighting youma as Sailor V, and the burden and pressures of being the leader of the Inner Senshi, and being the only one who knows of the Moon Kingdom's destruction, and having to masquerade as the Moon Princess must have stressed her out to the point where she developed a psychosomatic illness.

Demand for charter flights appears to be continuing its upward trend this month, but the prognosis for charter hourly rates is less encouraging on the whole. Online charter portal Avinode says its March 1 demand index is 141.15–23 points higher than last month and 30 points above a year ago.
Demand for charter flights appears to be heading upwards this month, according to the latest projections from online charter portal Avinode. The group's forward-looking demand index for the next month stood at 114.23 earlier this week–almost 21 points above the month-ago level and more than 14 points above where it was 12 months ago.

Prospects for the executive and private charter market appear to be climbing as the traditionally busy summer season approaches, boosted this year by demand resulting from planned travel to the World Cup soccer tournament, which kicks off in South Africa on June 11.
Demand for charter flights is set to continue rising this month, according to the latest demand index from online charter portal Avinode. On January 1, the company's demand index for the next 30 days showed a rise of just over 11 points, to 116.77, over the December 1 index figure.

A vibrant level of new aircraft deliveries, strong sales of used aircraft, low interest rates and competition among lenders have provided banks and other companies involved in the financing of business aircraft with greater activity this year than last year.
A common admonition to investors is to regard a stock's past performance as no guarantee of future results. On the macroeconomic level, however, general patterns prove more often true than not, especially over the long run.

I recently had a problem with my macbook. It froze as I was working with it & i had to force-shut it down. When I put it on, it just showed a white screen, then a blinking folder with a question mark sign on it.
I checked it up online & it seemed the problem was the hard disk. Either it couldn't find the system files & software required to start up or it was damaged.
So, i tried resetting the PRAM but nothing, I also tried to safe-boot, online recovery & other startup options, but no luck. The hard drive was not detected.
I didn't want to believe my hard disk had crashed ('cos most of my files were not backed up) so I removed my hard disk and inserted it in a friend's laptop & lucky for me, it booted.
So, I checked online for the hard drive cable 'cos it was either that or the logic board (that's what Apple calls their motherboard).
I went to computer village to buy it & got it for N10,000.. Which wasn't too bad. (Compared to the price on Amazon).
I fixed it and voila! My laptop was back to life! And so was I.

Why Ron Paul's Racist Newsletters Matter →232
TW: Racism
Ron Paul is back in the hunt for the Presidency. Many see him as an appealing candidate, one who opposes the wars, wants drugs legalized and supports fiscal responsibility. What they don't know, is his long history of racism and connection to white supremacists. He has dodged questions on his connections to white supremacists and the newsletters, full of abhorrent racism that he put out in his name and he made millions from, spreading racism.
There has been controversy over Ron Paul's ties to racism for some time now. Many people have pointed to Ron Paul's Newsletters as proof of his racism. Paul has previously admitted to writing the newsletters and defended the statements in 1996, then blamed them on an unnamed ghostwriter in 2001 and then denied any knowledge of them in 2008. He has given no explanation, for how the racism entered his newsletter and has dodged questions about them without casting blame on anyone. If we are to take Paul at his word, he is guilty of at least promoting racism on a large scale. Paul earned almost a million dollars a year from the racist, conspiracy theorist newsletters. Here are some excerpts that I've found.
In this story Ron Paul writes about "needlin" and blames packs of young black girls for spreading AIDS to white women. I could find no evidence of this "epidemic" and the article seems to have no point other than to make white people scared of Black people.
In this piece he criticizes Martin Luther King as a pro-communist philanderer and says the MLK holiday is "Hate Whitey Day." This is in great contrast to 2008 when he told Wolf Blitzer that Martin Luther King was one of his heroes. When activists suggested naming a city after Martin Luther King Paul suggested other names such as "Welfaria," "Zooville," "Rapetown," "Dirtburg," and "Lazyopolis" He would continue:
In another piece he blamed Black people for the riots that happened in Chicago in 1992 after the Bulls won the NBA Championship
Paul here is using false information to attack African Americans. The Washington Post reported that 1000 people were arrested but did not indicate their race. The riot, like most sports riots was multi-racial, including Blacks, white and Latinos, yet Paul used the incident to demonize African Americans. The Washington Post also reported that two officers suffered minor gunshot wounds and that 95 were injured in total, but the way Paul phrased it, it would seem most of the 95 officers injured were shot.
In this article Paul uses the "carjacking" epidemic to put fear into white people. He advises them to carry guns and shoot "carjackers" illegally and then dispose of their weapons. He also refers Black people as "animals" and directly refers to his home town of Lake Jackson, Texas.
The newsletters also contained the quotes:
opinion polls consistently show only about 5% of blacks have sensible political opinions
if you have ever been robbed by a black teen-aged male, you know how unbelievably fleet-footed they can be,
This is only the first skirmish in the race war of the 1990s
Here are some of the newsletters I could find. They also contain a good deal of homophobic and Black Helicopter, New World Order conspiracy theories and warnings of upcoming in "race wars."
That's mildly terrifying.
Just gives me another reason not to wish he gets the GOP nomination, along with his negative stance on womens' reproductive rights. I agree with his stance on the drug war and on ending US involvement in Afghanistan; that isn't enough to make me want to support a candidate. Although, compared to the rest of the laughable, frightening GOP field, he and Jon Huntsman are the only adults in the room. And neither of them actually have a prayer of wresting a nomination that's ultimately going to go to the utterly arrogant and myopic Willard M. Romney.
The upcoming Iowa Caucus will be very interesting to observe.

It was no secret that Texas Tech needed vast improvement with its defense if the Red Raiders had any hopes of challenging for a Big 12 title in 2012.Coach Tommy Tuberville, in his third season with the Red Raiders, spoke candidly about the need to go back to the fundamentals of good tackling and gap control last spring and during media days in July.He hired defensive coordinator Art Kaufman when Chad Glasgow returned to TCU's staff after one year in Lubbock. He brought in some talented transfers, including linebacker Will Smith (second on the team with 19 tackles), and revamped the scheme.But even Tuberville has got to be surprised at how fast Kaufman has been able to turn it around. The Red Raiders (4-0, 1-0 in Big 12) are leading the nation in defense as they prepare to host No. 17 Oklahoma (2-1, 0-1) at 2:30 p.m. Saturday.It's a far cry from last year when Tech finished the season 114th in total defense out of 120 schools."You see they're playing a lot more aggressive," Sooners coach Bob Stoops said. "They're really physical up front. They're covering people with tight coverage. Everything looks stronger and more disciplined in how they're playing."No one can attest to that more than Iowa State, which lambasted the Red Raiders 41-7 in Lubbock last year."They were a different team physically, both with the interior positions and the skill positions, speed on both sides of the ball," said coach Paul Rhoads, whose Cyclones were held to a season-low 189 yards in a 24-13 loss last week to Tech. "They really physically challenged us and got after us. "Tuberville credits Kaufman's leadership and a major upgrade in team speed."In the Big 12 you have to have as much speed as you can," Tuberville said. "We're playing a lot better than, obviously, we had. Our defense is tackling better, but we have more speed on the team. We made it a priority the last two years in recruiting to bring in height and speed on defense. Guys who can run and rush the passer and get their hands up in the passing lanes. It's an ongoing process to get this defense where we need it to be to play the Oklahoma States and West Virginias, teams that throw the ball almost every down."Kaufman, he said, has helped with improving technique and stopping the run with better gap control."He's done a good job of training these kids in terms of playing the run -- how to play with their hands, how to play with their eyes, how to play gap control -- all the little things it takes to be a run-stopping team and that kind of filters down to playing pass defense and rushing the passer."The change in command three consecutive seasons fed disarray, which disrupts everything, Rhoads said."There's a personality that you establish as a defensive coordinator," Rhoads said. "You do that individually first, then with your staff, and then it goes throughout the team. They've developed their players for three years with their strength system and developed those players to fit a defense that Tommy is comfortable with playing right now, and they're doing an exceptional job."Tech has been here before. After four games a year ago the Red Raiders were 4-0 and 1-0 in conference before losing to Texas A&M 45-40 in their conference home opener. Former Mansfield Timberview running back Eric Stephens, who was off to a great season, was injured in the game and missed the rest of the season. Another close loss to Kansas State followed.The Red Raiders rebounded with their last significant win when they ended Oklahoma's 39-game home winning streak with a stunning 41-38 upset.In Lubbock, however, wins over the Sooners are less surprising. Oklahoma hasn't won there since 2003.Tech, along with Texas, are the only schools with five wins against Oklahoma since Bob Stoops took over in 1999.The Red Raiders entered the USA Today coaches' poll for the first time this season at No. 24 this week.The last time AT&T Jones Stadium hosted a Top 25 matchup was when Tech defeated Oklahoma State 56-20 in November 2008.A win Saturday against the Sooners should move Tech into The Associated Press poll Top 25 and would signal a legitimate resurgence in Lubbock.Stefan Stevenson817-390-7760Twitter: @FollowtheFrogs
Here's a look at how this season's Texas Tech defense compares with the 2011 squad after four games:
Total defense
Rush defense
Pass defense
Scoring defense
Fifth-year senior Cornelius Douglas, the reigning Big 12 Conference Defensive Player of the Week, has been a key player in the Texas Tech defense's ongoing renaissance.
That's saying something about Douglas' ability, considering it was just last season that he was lining up on the opposite side of the ball as a wide receiver.
A two-interception showing against Iowa State last week, however, may have been Douglas' way of letting opponents know where his real comfort zone is.
"I mean, Tech was the first time I played receiver," Douglas said. "So, most of my college recruiting I was a cornerback, but I mean, it's just, I would say, instinct."
Douglas, a Lawton, Okla., native, displayed a diverse set of skills in high school, making appearances at quarterback, defensive back and kick returner.
At 5-foot-9, 198 pounds, Douglas has accounted for seven tackles, one tackle for loss, two interceptions and two passes defended as an integral part of the nation's No. 1 total defense (167.5 yards per game) and No. 1 passing defense, one that has limited opposing quarterbacks to a 47.6 completion percentage.
But with No. 17 Oklahoma coming to Lubbock this weekend, Douglas is presented his toughest task as a defensive back to date.
Douglas, coincidentally, had some of his best games as a receiver against the Sooners, racking up a career-high six receptions against Oklahoma on two occasions.
His level of play against Oklahoma, coupled with the fact that the Sooners did not recruit him out of high school despite family ties to the university, could bode well for the Red Raiders.
Douglas' uncle, John, played baseball at Oklahoma, and his mother, Debra Martin, graduated from the university. Cornelius, though, insists that whatever grudge he may have had against Oklahoma is long gone.
A Tech win is all he is focused on now.
"I'm kind of over that," Douglas said. "That was freshman year they didn't recruit me.
"It's just a business trip now; I've got to get the W."Saturday's games
Kansas at Kansas State (11 a.m., FX): Both teams had last week off. K-State is coming of 24-19 victory at Oklahoma while KU lost 30-23 at Northern Illinois. The Wildcats have won the past three and 15 of past 20.
Iowa State at TCU (2:30 p.m., FSSW): Both offenses struggled last week -- TCU's 156 yards was its lowest since 1997, while Iowa State was held to 189 in a 24-13 loss to Texas Tech. But both defenses have started strong and rank in the top 20 in scoring and yards allowed.
Oklahoma at Texas Tech (2:30 p.m., WFAA/Ch. 8): The struggling Sooners face the nation's No. 1 defense. OU hasn't won in Lubbock since 2003.
West Virginia at Texas (6 p.m., KDFW/Ch. 4): Texas has struggled against the pass, so with the nation's No. 3 scoring offense coming to Austin, the Longhorns are considering a change at strong safety.

If there is a simple way to sum up what government technology practices will look like in five years, it is that agency IT departments will be busy managing data, not devices.
Agencies will get to that point in part through a series of deliberate decisions, such as buying certain kinds of prepackaged data center capabilities and not buying personal computing devices for every end user, several industry experts said.
But agencies will also move to a more-data, less-device future by default because the huge streams of data they will pump out, store, move around and act on will be an inevitable by-product of a hyper-connected workplace and society.
That relentless growth of data will lead to huge management challenges, said Yogesh Khanna, vice president and chief technology officer of IT infrastructure solutions at CSC's North American Public Sector. The current buzzword for this trend is "big data." In the next few years, agencies will be busy learning the big-data basics, such as how to store data most efficiently, categorize it and preserve it according to policy requirements, Khanna said.
Five years from now, agency leaders will have moved on to a new challenge: fine-tuning the methods they use to turn all that data into tools that can support real-time decision-making, said Andras Szakal, vice president and CTO at IBM U.S. Federal. For example, military leaders could use advanced analytical systems, such as IBM's Watson supercomputer, to quickly understand how to modify their complex supply chains in order to deploy forces and equipment during different mobilization scenarios, Szakal said.
CIOs will have more time to focus on building those kinds of analytical and decision-support systems because they will spend much less time picking just the right servers, storage systems, networks and software, and trying to get them to work together.
"These questions drive most CIOs crazy because you're spending tons of resources integrating infrastructure instead of solving business problems today," Szakal said.
In five years, agencies will buy selected cloud-based infrastructure services from third-party providers, which will reduce their system ownership and management work.
Khanna said the accelerating commoditization of IT infrastructure will enable cloud providers to offer raw computing power, storage and connectivity practically for free. "People will offer it for pennies on the dollar," he said.
The remaining in-house IT infrastructure that agencies will operate will increasingly be in the form of pre-integrated solution stacks that combine hardware, connectivity, management software and built-in security services — a "data center in a box," Szakal said.
Moreover, he predicts that industry consolidation will result in as few as three vendors capable of delivering those kinds of solutions.
Early versions of converged infrastructure products are starting to become available and are increasingly attractive to agency leaders who want to modernize and consolidate their data centers, said Deniece Peterson, senior manager of federal industry analysis at Input. But those moves will be governed, as always, by budget issues.
"The thing with government IT is you have what they plan to do and what they are actually doing, so it makes it difficult to forecast," Peterson said.

We know that Phillies closer Brad Lidge was the losing pitcher in the All-Star Game, which secured home-field advantage for the American League in the World Series. But the Rays played a pivotal role in that 15-inning victory at Yankee Stadium.
Third baseman Evan Longoria tied the game with a double in the eighth inning. Catcher Dioner Navarro preserved the tie with a tag at the plate in the 11th. And Scott Kazmir worked a scoreless 15th to earn the win.
"You know what, Longoria and Navi and I talked about it when we were there," said Kazmir, who starts Game 1 on Wednesday. "We knew that this game that we were playing really meant something to us because in the long run it would really give us an advantage, hopefully advantage for the World Series. You couldn't ask for anything more, especially the way we played here. So in the back of our head, we knew how much this game meant to us as a team, as an organization."
Kazmir opposes Cole Hamels in Game 1, followed by James Shields vs. Brett Myers in Game 2, Matt Garza vs. Jamie Moyer in Game 3 and Andy Sonnanstine vs. Joe Blanton in Game 4. Read more…

Bug in Axent 5.0 for Unix
Bugtraq ID 518
This information was forwarded to Security Focus.
Certain checks within Axent's ESM 5.0 for Unix may prevent legitimate
users from logging on to scanned hosts.
Specifically, four checks within the security auditing program may cause
this denial of service:
* Check PATH using 'su'
* Check PATH by modifying startup script
* Check umask using 'su'
* Check umask by modifying startup script
These checks are not enabled in the default policy templates.
When ESM is checking PATH (or umask) values, it will 'su' to the user's
account. If the user's script calls a menu function, ESM will not respond
and the check will hang. To overcome this problem, ESM copies the
startup script to the /tmp directory, adds additional values to the end of
the script, and copies the script back to the user's directory. The new
values in the script will echo the PATH and umask values to a file called
.esmvalues in the user's home directory the next time the user logs in.
When ESM is run again, it will read the contents of .esmvalues to
determine the PATH and umask values. This procedure eliminates the
problems associated with 'su'ing to the account and hanging on a menu
Unfortunately, when ESM copies the file to /tmp, file ownership and
permissions are changed to 'root'. When the file is copied back to the
user's directory, only root has access - legitimate users will not be
able to execute their login script.
This bug should be fixed in the upcoming 5.0.1 release.

Ten serious sci-fi films for the sentient fan
Re: Wot, no Avatar?
There's a pretty strong sic-fi element in the Avatars themselves. The ability to put your consciousness in to another body, cloned or otherwise, could be incredibly relevant in the near future. Would full-body replacements be available to the public if they could afford them? Would it be possible to transfer minds completely from body to body? Is immortality the next step for the super-rich?
As for the difference between the Na'vi and the other creatures in the area, just look at the huge difference between humans and other various animal and insect species on Earth. It's unlikely that the Na'vi are related to the animals of Pandora for the reasons you list. However, it's not impossible.
Snow Leopard to ship this Friday
I bought my MacBook in America a couple of weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised to find that I was eligible for the upgrade here in Britian.
Xbox 360 reverses plunging console sales trend
Why does everyone always jumps on the RROD bandwagon? I had a launch 360 that worked perfectly for two years when I traded it for an Elite. That 360 has been running perfectly since then.
PSP Go will support UMDs, sort of
The problem is not future purchases, it's wether all the games people have already bought can be used on the PSPGo. If they can, and the equipment to do so is cheap (preferably free, but this is Sony) then that's great. If not, then they are pissing on their customers. Again.
Sony updates PS3 protein-probe program
To continue the slight fanboy rants: the original xbox had several games that could use music stored on the HD as custom soundtracks. Project Gotham 2 (best in the series) definately could and I know there were others. So basically, Sony is just catching up to what M$ did six years ago...
As for F@H, the feature I want is background downloading. I admit I havent tried it with the newest version, but previously I had to choose between F@H and downloading demo's. F@H lost.
Why Apple won't sell 10 million iPhones in 2008
"4/8GB is not going to contain my entire music library, but then neither does my current 6GB iPod mini, luckily(?) it turns out that around 88% of released music is crap to average, so the 12% that I've marked up 4 stars or better will fit just fine."
Are you saying that 88% of all music released is crap or that 88% of the music you own is crap? If so, I have a simple and cost-effective solution for you. Stop buying crap music.

Towson falls to No. 3 UNC, 17-8
Senior attackers Ashleigh Rohrback and Andi Raymond recorded hat tricks, but the No. 3 North Carolina Tar Heels dealt Towson a 17-8 blow Saturday in Chapel Hill, N.C. in the teams' last regular season game.
The loss to the Tar Heels (13-3) marks the third for the Tigers (9-7) against a Top 3 team this season. In those games, they have been outscored 48-23.
"It was nice to be able to play out of conference [in the last week of the regular season]." Head Coach Sonia LaMonica said. "It gives you a taste of who you might see in the NCAA."
Freshman attacker Gabby Cha got the Tigers on the scoreboard just over a minute into the game, after junior midfielder Paige Duncan won the opening draw. The goal was Cha's 20th on the season.
The Tar Heels responded with three straight goals from midfielders Maggie Bill and Carly Davis and attacker Sydney Holman. Bill tied the game with 26:25 left in the first half and after a blocked free position attempt from sophomore midfielder Breanna Hamm, Davis made it 2-1.
Freshman midfielder Samantha Brookhart had a shot on goal, attempting to tie the game again, but North Carolina goalie Caylee Waters stuffed it. Instead, Holman added another goal for North Carolina with 16:30 left in the half.
Towson found a quick response to the North Carolina goal, as Rorhback scored her 31st goal of the season to cut the deficit. However, attacker Molly Hendrick halted the Towson momentum with a draw control and a goal to put her team up 4-2.
The Tigers continued to attack the Tar Heels' defense, getting shots on goal, but could not get past Waters.
However, Rohrback broke through again off a pass from junior attacker Taylor Moore to cut the deficit to 4-3 with 8:12 left. Less than two minutes later, though, North Carolina answered back with a Davis goal. The back-and-forth continued as Raymond got the ensuing draw control and scored just 42 seconds after the North Carolina goal.
A hectic few minutes continued as Holman beat Towson goalie Kelsea Donnelly to make it 6-4 with 5:05 left in the half, less than a minute separated from Raymond's tally. The Tar Heels scored within two minutes of a Tiger goal three times in the half.
Attacker Carly Reed added to the North Carolina lead with seven seconds remaining in the half. Despite leading in shots (11-10), ground balls (9-7) and draw controls (8-4), Towson found itself down three goals at the break.
North Carolina came out strong in the second half, leading to a 10-4 half that helped them cruise to the win. It outshot Towson 20-10 and won the draw control battle, 10-5.
"We had a strong first half and it was a game," LaMonica said. "It was pretty evenly-matched. I was really [North Carolina's] second half. They just owned. They really came out with a different level of intensity."
Bill gave the Tar Heels a four-goal lead just 34 seconds into the second half. The Tar Heels came out with the offensive momentum, notching three straight shots.
The Tigers needed a response and got it, as freshman midfielder Michelle Gildea scored in her third straight game to cut the deficit to 8-5. However, the Tar Heels found an answer again when Hendrick beat Donnelly for the goal.
Defender Sloane Serpe added to the North Carolina lead, making it 10-5 with 21:38 left in the game. Just 21 seconds later, Holman made it 11-5, and 34 seconds after that, attacker Abbey Friend gave North Carolina its biggest lead.
After another Tar Heel goal, Raymond found Rohrback who score her third goal to cut the deficit to 13-6 with 15:40 left.
The teams went back-and-forth again, as Raymond score two more goals and Serpe and teammate Aly Messinger combined to make it 15-8.
The Tar Heels would add on two more goals, clinching the second-worst loss for the Tigers this season.
Towson will now look to the CAA tournament, where it clinched the No. 1 seed and will play on Friday. The tournament begins Friday in Williamsburg, Va.
"We expect to win [the CAA tournament]," LaMonica said. "This is an area that we've had success before and we expect to continue that. We'll take it one step at a time, but we're excited to hopefully redeem ourselves from some of our earlier losses."

Hopes for the season?
We are going to build on the great football than won us Division Three last year and we're hoping to at a minimum cement our place in Division Two.
Have you made any new signings?
It's been a busy summer off the pitch for Cats chief Lester Jacobs who has set the bar high for his players in season 2014/15.
Which competitions are you entering MSFL, Division Two, The Cyril Anekstein Cup
What are your hopes for the season?
Having finished the last campaign superbly, FC Team C will look to carry their momentum into the new season
Competitions entered: MGBSFL Division Two, Morrison and Anekstein
"Division Two defences beware". That's the warning from new Mill Hill boss Daniel Beresford who is licking his lips about his new-look strikeforce featuring Ben Zloof and recent acquisition Jamie Kent.
Hopes for the season:
We will be aiming for the title
New signings:
Joel Lassman, Loz Bloom, Jeff Gotch, Darren Bloom, Jamie Kent
Hopes for the season: To win the title
New signings: Ben Binder and Daniel Breger
Have any players left? Simon Peterman
Which players would you describe as the 'ones to watch'?
Ben Binder is a superb young talent, watch for his name in the goal-scoring charts this year
Which team/s do you expect to pose the biggest threat?
Hopes for the season:
We are setting out sights on being champions and an exciting cup run
Which players would you describe as the 'ones to watch' and why?
I don't like speaking about individuals. Players don't win you trophies, teams win trophies, squads win trophies.
Which team/s do you consider your strongest challengers?
Chairman Viv Emanuel is delighted that Jeremy Brown has returned to MGBSFL management as new boys London Rovers look to hit the ground running.
HOPES FOR THE SEASON: We expect to challenge for the league this year. Most of the players have now played together for a year. we have a had a great pre-season and I fully expect we will carry in on into our league games.
Alan Hansen once said: "You'll win nothing with kids." Elliot Nussbaum and his Shacharit Donetsk wonder kids are keen to prove him wrong.
Nussbaum believes SDFC "are probably the youngest squad ever to be playing in the MGBSFL, with an average age of just 17 years".

There was a great letter from the ASC president Richard Crudo to the ASC members following the February death of Sarah Jones. You can read the whole thing here. What I want to focus on is his admonition that it is indeed the cinematographers – the leaders – who set the tone and the culture on a set. A few key quotes:
Those who make motion pictures for a living work long and hard at jobs we love, sometimes making significant sacrifices along the way. But we're not curing cancer. We're not even curing a hangnail. Twisted individuals for whom money, power, ego and prestige are the ultimate goals, however, treat the obsessive pursuit of these superficial rewards as being tantamount to conquering a fatal disease.
As directors of photography, we have always been responsible for the safety of our crews, and it is incumbent upon us to find ways to be more decent…
I take it one step further. The entire leadership team, from Producers, to Directors, to First AD, and Cinematographers must engender this culture of safety. But it's not really about safety. It's about the value of humans. Human life, at it's simplest; but also human thriving – quality of life, if you will. It's not about a base set of rules that are bureaucratic and boring and hinder-some. It's about an all-encompasing culture that values people and their enjoyment of their job.
Film (and also theatre) is by nature a creative industry. As Crudo says, we are not curing cancer. We are making entertainment, and if we're lucky, sometimes we're making art. Entertainment and art are valuable, but these are not a real cause for holding the same hours as the medical profession. Do we really need to work 12, 14, or 16 hour days? To save money? Sometimes. But on a regular basis? No.
Indeed, studio television shows have come to the realization that they need to find a work-life balance or their best crew members will almost certainly burn out and the turnover ends up being more costly than simply shooting an easier schedule. There's something to be said for the shorthand that develops on a set like that.
But a different mentality exists for many studio and independent film producers.
As film producers, we can tend to think that because our shoots are more limited – anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks to 3 months – we can ask our crew to PUSH. REALLY. HARD. It's a limited time, right? They can rest when we're done, right? No. No, because many of our crew are not about to go into post-production. They are actually, likely – hopefully – heading to their next gig. I say hopefully, because we hope for them that they are all able to make a full-time living at this film thing they love, right? Someone of them might even have less than a day to recover before hopping onto a flight or into a car for their next gig. That is the life of our below-the-line friends. For producers and directors to ask them to push really hard for three weeks straight is honestly kind of ridiculous and unreasonable.
Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying, "Don't ask your crew to work nights." I'm also not saying, "Never ask your crew to work long days." I AM saying, "Don't ask them to treat every single shooting day as an emergency." If they know you value their health and their sanity, then when the REAL emergencies arise, they will be more willing to sacrifice. They will trust you, producers and directors. They will. I promise. Especially if the culture that has already been engendered on the set, by you, is one of quality of life.
It really is true that the leadership of a team sets the tone and the priorities on each set. While it's great for camera crews to take ownership for their own selves and their crew members, as many have been quickened to do in the wake of Sarah's passing, quicker, more permanent change has to come from the top down. I know several DPs who take that responsibility seriously and who treat their crew like family. They are leaders of integrity. They treat their teams like family. It's time that producers and directors across the board embrace the culture of quality of life. And set that tone on their sets.
On the sets at which I've been a First AD, a producer, or a director, I have indeed tried to do this. There have been times when I've asked for more from my crews (humbly). And there have been times when I've lost my temper (and apologized). But I hate when my time and my worth is undervalued and so I am loath to do it to others. So I when I challenge other indie film producers to do the same, it's not coming from a pie-in-the-sky perspective. I know the cost of valuing people's quality of life. I've actually done the math as a line producer. It's not that much more money at the end of the day. But it is worth so much more to your crew, and to your integrity.

It had been seven years since I attempted directing theatre. The last time was a lovely experience at Pacific Theatre in Vancouver, British Columbia via their emerging artist arm called Stone's Throw Productions. I directed an abriged one-act adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing. We called it Less Ado. It was three nights only and it was a blast. The show was sold out each night and the audiences were great.
But it had been a while and I was a little nervous, but looking for something to do, when Sharifa Williams emailed me about potentially directing the play she'd written, submitted, and got accepted into the Players Theatre's Short Play & Music Festival. I loved the script (it was a topic that I've been working on a screenplay about). I loved the size of the project – a short play. I loved the opportunity. Ryan was on board as well.
Rehearsals were so rewarding. I love working with actors. I've directed two short films since directing theatre and the thing I think I've missed is the lovely luscious rehearsal process. And this one was no exception. I had five brilliant, kind, patient, hard-working, and reliable actors who were a joy to play with.
Of all the plays in Week 2 of the festival, Sharifa's was the most production-heavy. We had costumes with blood, costumes with spikes, six full garbage bags, Tupperware with broccoli, and sound cues from the MTA. But as a theatre producer turned film producer, I was totally up for it. However, it meant a little less time at each rehearsal working on the acting. More time spent on tech. But it was worth it. It's important to be able to find the balance of time necessary. This was good practice.
Tech rehearsal ran smoothly. Even though they'd requested five cues or less, they didn't balk at my seven cue prompt book. And the actors were so on task I nearly drooled. They killed it. Sharifa had a few suggestions after the first show; but it only took a few adjustments for the actors to fix that.
And now, it's just been announced that our play, the play Sharifa William's wrote, has won the Audience Award for the Best of the Fest from Week 2!

I decided to clean up my other blog and go back there. Far easier than moving stuff here. So if you like following me. GO GO GO GO!
Just played the worst game ever.
We all decided where we were going, like usual.
Mid was teemo.
Draven and Yi were bottom.
Me (Jayce) and Xin Zhao were top.
But Draven suggested we all go bot, and gank. Sure why not.
That failed, everyone jumped out of the bush as soon as they saw Dr. Mundo so they all ran for him, and all died by the turret… Except for me… Cause i'm not an idiot..
So we all either scattered or respawned and got in our lanes, but instead Teemo went top… So no one was mid. I decided to go mid, although I was against Ziggs…
Also, Yi was jungling, and terribly. He would go help someone, they'd get away, he'd go jungle. But the people he would only help was top… Draven was alone down bottom, and repeatedly asked for help, and repeatedly asked for Yi. But he just didnt go. Eventually he recalled, and then disconnected from the game.
THEN, Xin Zhao said he would carry, but I noticed he wasn't moving around too much, which he then said, 'sorry, one sec, making dinner.' WHY PLAY A GAME IF YOU GOT THINGS TO DO!
I understand if you need to do stuff, yes, it's a game. But don't say you'll carry if you know you're 4 levels behind everyone and making dinner….
So yes, that's the worst game I've ever played. o__o
Had just locked all characters in. Both teams.
Worked out where we were all going.
Countdown hit 0.
Game made the BONG sound.
-summoner 5 left-
=____= Really?
1-800-lifealert replied to your post:Jayce needs new skins!french maid jayce kitty cat jayce nurse jayce officer jayce the possibilities are endless tbh
Hahahaha, I want a bunny or kitty Jayce. The rest seem a tad crossdresserish… BUT HEY, IT'S A FREE WORLD! RIOT GAMES! READ THIS!!!
Perhaps a superhero costume, orrrr maybe one resembling Booster Gold!
Or or one that makes him look like a time traveller, although he's not. I know that. But he's the Defender of Tomorrow, so that could play on things. Also why it would work for a superhero costume. Anddd, im all out of ideas.

Watch Saturday Morning Cartoons and Then Create Your Own
Are you a fan of Saturday morning cartoons?
I know, now days you can watch cartoons any day of the week, if you have the right channels or check YouTube.
But what's the fun of that. We would wake up early on Saturday and make a bowl of cereal to take to the living room and sit in front of the TV for hours smiling and laughing.
This Saturday, April 28, the Old West Museum is presenting a free cartoon event in conjunction with their exhibit by Denver Post cartoonist Paul Gregg.

AUSTIN, TX -- Fandango, the nation's leading moviegoer destination, announced today at SXSW® Conference & Festivals the debut of a new movie buzz indicator called "Fanticipation," a first-of-its-kind tool to measure moviegoer excitement and help predict the films that will connect with fans at the weekend box office. Released weekly, "Fanticipation" ranks fan excitement around upcoming and current movies based on Fandango's proprietary data collected from its online and mobile traffic, the social media engagement of its fans, and its advance ticket sales. In addition to being shared on the site, "Fanticipation" will also be featured in Fandango's new original digital video series, "Weekend Ticket," premiering on March 14, 2013.
"Weekend Ticket" host Dave Karger - Fandango's Chief Correspondent and one of the country's most highly-regarded movie experts - will film the series' inaugural episode at SXSW, where he will interview fan favorites including Steve Carell, Jim Carrey, Olivia Wilde, Paul Walker, Josh Duhamel and Paul Rudd, along with mainstream moviegoers. Whether it's finding the ultimate date movie or a film the whole family will enjoy, Karger will help consumers find the perfect movie on "Weekend Ticket." Unlike other movie preview shows, "Weekend Ticket" will also directly connect moviegoers to Fandango's advance ticketing for that film at one of its 20,000 screens nationwide.
"'Fanticipation' captures Fandango's unique ability to tap into moviegoer buzz and will be a great feature for both the industry and consumers," said Paul Yanover, President of Fandango. "SXSW, where entertainment meets technology, is the perfect place to debut this one-of-a-kind new tool."
"Weekend Ticket" follows on the heels of Fandango's first original video series, "The Frontrunners." Also hosted by Karger, "The Frontrunners" is a seasonal show covering breaking news, predictions, reactions, snubs and surprises of the movie awards season.
"Our goal with 'Weekend Ticket' is to connect moviegoers with the perfect film based on what kind of experience they're looking for," said Dave Karger, Fandango's Chief Correspondent. "Along with my own recommendations on each week's releases, I'm excited to have input from the film's stars, as well as from Fandango's engaged audience and our new data on movie buzz from 'Fanticipation.'"
In the same spirit of "Weekend Ticket," Dave Karger will moderate an official SXSW kickoff panel, "An Insider's Preview to the SXSW Film Festival," on March 8 at the Convention Center Room 16AB, to help SXSW attendees make their moviegoing decisions at the festival. Fandango will also host the "Fandango Film Lounge" March 8 through March 12 at the InterContinental Stephen F. Austin Hotel, where festival-goers can relax with free food and drink, log onto WiFi and charge their phones -- all while checking out the latest movie trailers, Karger's live in-lounge interviews with celebrities, and Fandango's original videos, including a sneak preview of "Weekend Ticket."
WASHINGTON D.C. -- Armie Hammer will receive the "CinemaCon® Male Star of Tomorrow Award" at this year's CinemaCon, it was announced today by the convention's Managing Director Mitch Neuhauser. CinemaCon, the largest and most important convention for the motion picture theatre industry, will be held from April 15-18, 2013 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas at which time more than 5,000 industry members will be gathering. Hammer will be presented with this special honor at the "CinemaCon Big Screen Achievement Awards" ceremony to take place on Thursday evening, April 18, in The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The Coca-Cola Company, the official presenting sponsor of CinemaCon, will host the final night gala awards program.
"Having already received acclaim for his notable supporting roles in such films as 'The Social Network,' Hammer is poised to really break out this year with his starring role as the fictional icon of American culture, The Lone Ranger," noted Neuhauser. "For this reason we cannot think of another talented young actor more deserving of being this year's 'CinemaCon Male Star of Tomorrow.'"
Hammer will star this summer in the highly anticipated action-adventure film "The Lone Ranger," to be released by Disney on July 3, 2013. Hammer stars as the title character opposite Johnny Depp's Native American warrior Tonto. Tonto recounts the untold tales that transformed John Reid, a man of the law, into The Lone Ranger, a legend of justice - taking the audience on a runaway train of epic surprises and humorous friction as the two unlikely heroes must learn to work together and fight against greed and corruption. A Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films presentation, "The Lone Ranger" is directed by Gore Verbinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Gore Verbinski, with screen story by Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio and Justin Haythe, and screenplay by Justin Haythe and Ted Elliott & Terry Rossio. "The Lone Ranger" also stars Tom Wilkinson, William Fichtner, Barry Pepper, James Badge Dale, Ruth Wilson and Helena Bonham Carter.
Following his breakout role as the Winklevoss twins in the award-winning film "The Social Network," Hammer went on to star opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in Clint Eastwood's J. Edgar Hoover biopic "J. Edgar," earning him a 2012 SAG nomination for "Best Supporting Actor" for his portrayal of Clyde Tolson. He also starred as Prince Alcott in "Mirror Mirror," opposite Julia Roberts and Lily Collins in the Tarsem Singh Dhandwar directed film.

After a rough weekend in Iowa City having to battle the nationally ranked Indiana Hoosiers, the Iowa Hawkeyes battled back to take two of two from the Kansas Jayhawks during the week. Iowa won the first game on Tuesday by a score of 5-3 and they took yesterday's contest by a score of 12-7.
In Tuesday's contest the top three guys in the lineup, Eric Toole, Jake Mangler, and Dan Potempa each had two hits in the game. Potempa drove in four runs out of the three hole for the Hawkeyes. Blake Hickman made the start for the Hawkeyes, but it was Sasha Keubel who captured the win going five and two thirds, giving up eight hits, and one earned run in that time. The win was Keubel's third win of the year. A four run fifth inning was the big blow to the Jayhawks.
On Wednesday, the bats exploded for Rick Heller's team. The Hawkeyes totaled 12 runs on 18 hits and they were led by, Eric Toole. Toole finally had the breakout game folks have been waiting to see from him. Toole had four hits in five trips to the plate and also drive in five runs in the lead off spot.
