On Friday when the Eagles hosted the Hollandale-Simmons Blue Devils in a battle for first place in Region 3-2A his players proved just how much they believed in that philosophy as they clinched their 11th consecutive region crown with a 6-0 victory here at Leland Young Stadium.
"Our kids have bought in to everything we have been saying," Williams said. "I told them through the spring and after the first game that when everybody counts you out, to keep praying and God will count you in. We pray before practice, after practice and if things aren't going well we will stop and pray during practice. I just thank God for allowing us to come together and allow the kids to be receptive to what we are teaching and just believing."
The Eagles improved to 7-2 overall and 4-0 in the region. The Eagles will end the regular season on Friday when they travel to North Carrollton to play the 4-6 J.Z. George Jaguars. The Jags are 2-2 in the region 3-2A standings.
Clinging to a 6-0 lead late in the fourth quarter, the Blue Devils had the ball on the Eagles' 30-yard line with 2:30 on the clock. The Eagles' defense had given up two touchdowns on the drive already, but was saved by a block in the back penalty as well as an Illegal procedure penalty on the Blue Devils to negate both scores.
On fourth and two, Williams called timeout to talk things over with his defense knowing clearly the Blue Devils were in four down territory.
Out of the timeout, Hollandale's quarterback, Roy Halum tried to turn the corner as he had done all night, but West Bolivar's Keenan Neal was there to set the edge and stretch the elusive Halum out wide, while big Rodriguez Bush came and finished off the play with the tackle-for-loss to stop the Blue Devils on fourth down.
The Eagles took control of the ball with 2:18 left in the game and Lenardo Brown and the Eagles' offensive line did the rest as they ran out the clock to secure the victory.
"I called timeout to make sure they knew what the situation was," Williams said. "I wanted to make sure they watched the ball and didn't jump offside. We made an adjustment there and it paid off. We preach to our kids to run to the ball and we were able to get a couple of hats on that one player so that's a testament to practice showing up on the game field."
Williams said it was an awesome game between two really good teams, but the story was how defensively both teams came to play.
"We had great effort tonight," Williams said. "They (Eagles defense) kept fighting and never gave up. We were up 6-0 going in at halftime and I told them that if they don't score we win. Defense wins ball games and our kids stepped it up on defense. We bend a little bit, but we never broke and we got the stops when we needed them."
The Eagles' defense started the game stopping the Blue Devils opening drive forcing a turnover on downs.
West Bolivar came back and put together a strong drive with Tayshawn Conway completing a 26-yard pass to Dekeenan Boyd and on third down and 14 he found Lenardo Brown for a 42-yard completion down to the Blue Devils' five-yard line.
Brown ran the ball again for a two-yard gain for second and goal at the three-yard line, but disaster struck on the next play as Greg Robb fumbled and Simmons recovered.
The West Bolivar defense stood tall again as Deguadereck Rice intercepted Halum's pass to give the ball back to the Eagles.
The Eagles offense put together a strong drive and on third and three from the 18-yard line Conway connected with Rice for a touchdown, but the score was called back due to an Eagles' penalty as the first quarter expired.
The Eagles turned the ball over on downs to start the second, but the defense forced the Blue Devils to punt to give the ball back to West Bolivar.
The Eagles made the Blue Devils pay this time as Brown went to work running the football as he capped off a six play, 51-yard drive with a six yard touchdown with 5:32 left in the second quarter. The kick after was blocked, but West Bolivar was on the board for the first and only points of the night.
Brown led the Eagles offense with 101 yards on 19 carries with one touchdown. Conway completed 5-of-6 passes for 83 yards and added 38 yards on seven carries. Larry Walker led West Bolivar's defense with nine tackles, followed by Brown with eight tackles, Bush, Neal and Ladarius Tucker with seven tackles each and Rice with two tackles with and an interception.

Jim Cramer's Getting Back to Even (Hardcover)
Price: $26.00
Cramer explains why dividends may be another key to picking winners in the post-crash stock market, and he introduces a category he calls the accidental high yielders -- stocks whose prices have taken a beating, boosting their yields. Some of these stocks could make a major move upward; Cramer tells you how to spot the ones that could take off.
For the first time in any of his books, Cramer offers a portfolio of twelve stocks that he says are poised to profit from the economic recovery. And he gives investors a list of five regional banks that could make big moves and return a handsome reward to shareholders. As always, Cramer explains why investors can't just take his word but have to "buy and homework" on these stocks to make sure that their stories don't change.

How to Add Fractions
Adding fractions is easy if the denominators are the same, but adding fractions with different denominators requires care. If you set up an algebraic equation to add fractions with different denominators, you need to find the lowest common denominator first.
The lowest common denominator of two or more numbers is the smallest whole number that is divisible by each.
After you convert the fractions so that they have common denominators, you just add the numerators, leaving the denominators alone. Then, if, necessary, you reduce the answer.
Example: Jim played for half an hour in yesterday's soccer game and for 20 minutes in today's game. How long did Jim play altogether?
Set up an equation.
If you begin with a word problem and not an equation, then you must translate the word problem into numbers.
Jim played for 1/2 hour one day and for 1/3 hour (20 minutes) another day, and you're trying to find out exactly how long he played for both days combined. The equation looks like this:
Find the common denominator.
You have to find a common denominator — that is, find the same number that each denominator will divide into evenly.
So, you can fit the two fractions together by multiplying both the numerators and the denominators by the same number:
Add the numerators.
When you add the numerators, leave the common denominator alone.
An operation that tells you how far a number is from zero.
The number with the same numerical part but the opposite sign (plus or minus) of a given number. If zero is the sum of two numbers, then these two numbers are additive inverses of one another.
A characteristic of addition and multiplication that allows the grouping of terms to change without affecting the result.
A value multiplied repeatedly in an exponential expression.
A process requiring two values to produce a third value.
Two terms separated by addition or subtraction.
A grouping symbol that looks like this: { }.
A grouping symbol that looks like this: [ ].
A number multiplied by a variable. The coefficient precedes the variable.
A method of counting that tells how many ways a designated number of objects can be selected from a given set.
The same value on the bottom of more than one fraction.
A characteristic of addition and multiplication that allows the order of the values in an operation to be changed without affecting the result.
A whole number larger than 1 that isn't prime.
A variable or number that never changes in value in an expression.
The third power of a number; the result of multiplying a number by itself three times.
A number that you can multiply by itself three times to get a given number. For example, the cube root of 8 is 2, because 2 times 2 times 2 equals 8.
An adjective that describes an expression in which the highest power is three.
A fraction with an unwritten denominator of 10 indicated by the decimal point.
The highest power occurring in an expression.
The bottom number in a fraction.
The result of subtraction.
Numerals from zero through nine, so called because they were originally counted on the fingers.
A characteristic of multiplication and addition that allows for the multiplication of each individual term in a grouped series by a term outside of the grouping without changing the value of the expression.
A number to be divided by another number.
A number that can be divided by another number with no remainder.
A solution that appears twice when solving an equation because the related factor appears twice in the factored form. For example, in (y – 2)(y – 2) = 0, y = 2 is a double root or solution. In (y – 2)(y – 2)(x + 3) = 0, y = 2 is still a double root or solution.
A mathematical statement with an equal sign showing that two values are equal.
Fractions equal to one another, even though they may have different denominators.
A number that can be divided by 2.
A value in smaller type found above and to the right of the base that indicates the number of times the base is multiplied by itself.
Any combination of values (variables, numbers, and/or constants) and operations that can be used to show how things belong together and compare to one another.
1. (noun) Any of the values involved in a multiplication problem that when multiplied together produces a result. 2. (verb) To rewrite an algebraic expression as a product.
An operation that multiplies a whole number by every counting number smaller than the whole number.
1. An acronym for first, outer, inner, and last — which indicates the order in which two terms (one from each of two binomials) are multiplied together. 2. The process of multiplying two binomials.
A rule or method that is accepted as true and used over and over in common applications.
Any quantity expressed as a numerator (the value above the fraction line) and a denominator (the value below the fraction line).
A line separating the numerator from the denominator in a fraction.
The largest possible value that evenly divides each term of an expression containing two or more terms.
Parentheses, brackets, and braces that can affect the order of operations. Terms and operations within the grouping symbol take precedence.
Terms and operations within grouping symbols.
A fraction whose numerator is larger than the denominator.
A relationship between two unequal values.
Without end; uncountable, as in a repeating decimal.
A positive or negative whole number or zero; numbers starting with zero and going up or down in increments of one.
A number with no fractional equivalent whose decimal never repeats or terminates.
An adjective describing an expression or equation in which the highest power of any variable is one. Constants can be higher powers.
The status of a fraction whose numerator and denominator cannot be divided evenly by the same number.
An improper fraction written as a whole number alongside a fraction.
An expression with only one term.
A number evenly divisible by a specific factor.

A counting method that determines the number of ordered arrangements there are when a certain number of objects are selected from a given set.
An expression with one or more terms.
Any quantity greater than zero.
A value of an exponent indicating the number of times the base is multiplied by itself.
A rule of exponents, where any number raised to the power of zero equals one as long as the base number isn't zero.
The process of finding the prime numbers that, when multiplied together, produce a given composite number.
A whole number larger than one that can be divided evenly only by itself and one.
A positive number that when multiplied by itself produces a given positive number.
The result of multiplication.
A fraction whose value is less than one; thus, the numerator is always smaller than the denominator.
An equation showing that two ratios are equal to one another.
Also known as second degree, an expression or equation in which the highest power is 2.
The result of division.
The symbol for the operation to find a square root.
Multiplying a base number the number of times indicated by the exponent.
A quantity, positive or negative, that can be written as a fraction; its decimal equivalent terminates or repeats.
Any rational or irrational number.
1. Two numbers whose product is always one. 2. Either one of the two numbers in a reciprocal.

A standard way of writing very large and very small numbers as the product of two values — a number between 1 and 9 and a power of 10. Scientific notation follows the form N × 10a where N is a number from 1 up to 10, but not 10 itself, and a is an integer (positive or negative number).
A symbol indicating whether a value is positive (+) or negative (−).
A fraction in which both the numerator and the denominator are whole numbers.
To combine all that can be combined in an expression or equation, and put it in its most easily understandable form.

Cars > TerryO's Garage
About TerryO's Garage
About me and my passion for cars
My name is Terry. I have wanted to own and drive a Corvette since the first time I saw one as a kid of 15. It was a 66 red coupe. From that day on I didn't care what year or color I just knew I wanted a Vette. I got side tracked for almost 40 years with a stop in between to have and raise my son and daughter. My wife (not their Mother) passed away in January of 2000. Before she died she made me promise her that I would not forget the dream to own a Corvette. After she passed away I started devoting all my attention to my long time desire and promise I made to myself at age 15 to own a Corvette and live the car show/car club life style. I got my first Vette in 05, a burgandy 88 coupe in near perfect condition which I affectionately named "Lil Angel" after my late wife. That car was my daily driver up until it reached 100,000 miles. Now she is my long distance driver for vacations and Sunday drives. In September of 2007 I purchased my 78 black coupe. She was a little rough around the edges but I've since done a 90% restoration to bring her up to the condition I want her in for my dependable driving show car. I spend most of my spare time driving to car shows or working on my cars improving them and doing routine maintenance.
My first car
I had to get a way to go to work because I didn't like walking. When I was 19 I bought a 63 Galaxie XL500. I put some dual cherry bombs on it and some fat tires in the back and raked the front. Added some mag wheels and a rockin 8 track stereo and I thought I'd arrived.
Car I wish I still had
When I was 21 I bought a 66 Mustang with a 289 stick. If I'd only known then what I know now.
My dream car
I'm driving em now. My daily driver is a 88 Vette with a 4+3 4spd and my toy is a black on black 78 C3 with a 5 spd.

If Panini cant get the autos to put into the actual product then they need to lower the hit count and lower the box price. People say the masses are screaming for more autos and more patches but its counterproductive the way Panini is handling it. I personally would rather pay $50 for a box of Certified and only get 1 or 2 hits that are actually in the box then pay $100 for the same 1 to 2 hits and one be missing and the 4th hit is a redemption. Topps Chrome is a perfect example - $100 for a box with ONE auto. Sells VERY well. No redemptions (That I know of) yet it flies off the shelves - why? Because Topps is inventive and load their boxes up with quality players for the most part and puts inserts in every pack so you actually get $100 worth of product and not $10 worth thats in a Panini box. Hell Panini already has 17 1/1's of every player in any particular product, why not remove a redemption and make 2 or 3 more 1/1's in their place lol

They will be getting a nice call from me monday, and they sure as hell better make due or something. Lets push back a product a month so there won't be as many redemption's in it, yet you open six boxes and every auto hit is a redemption. The only autos I pulled that weren't redemption's were the bullshit 6th rounder autos that I use as coasters. Sorry for the rant but its so sicking anymore, I can see why tons of people left the hobby. Sometimes I wish it was still as simple as pulling a jersey card back in the early 2000's and that made your week. Heres the scans of what I have to show for 500 Redemptions: Lost one of them ( some bum ) Blue Vincent Brown Jon Baldwin Jordan Todman ( why do they even make cards of this guy, I don't even think he's on a NFL roster) Not Scanned - Da'Quan Bowers Red Auto /250 AWESOME HIT yeah right and some random GU and Autos that are just going in a big lot I'm throwing on ebay, I pull so much garbage I put big auto & game used lots on ebay it seems like once a week

If one of these guys turns out to be something big in the future, there will be no autos available from older wax, just the worthless redemption of the player that the company was to lazy or didn't care enough about getting, to fulfill their obligation to their customers. I do believe it is the card company's obligation to get the autographs of the players they say are on the checklist. If it is the player (who signed the agreement as part of being a compensated member of the player's association/NFL Properties), the company should be able to sue players for services not rendered.
(12-01-2011 10:26 AM)kollectornet Wrote: Two short things. I don't know why I come to the defense of Panini and Upper Deck, but I just seem to do that. First.....I recommened buying cards that you want if people can't stand disappointment. Nothing is guaranteed when you open a box or a case. Yes it would be nice to get a PC hit, yes it would be nice to get the box value or case value. Trust me, I have been there plenty of times. I have been collecting for nearly 20 years, spent thousands of dollars. I would say I spend at least $10,000 year on cards, but I have learned to deal with the fact that a box or a case is going to contain whatever is in it. If you were given some money to open 10 of the best cases out there, there is no guarantee you will be happy with what you pull. It is just like a fooball game or any sport, any given day. It is all a chance. Now for this post. I wish we knew more about card companies and their practices. Meaning, what I see in this post, it seems like maybe the card companies send out stickers every two weeks before a product is released and the stickers that are sent out within a month of a product is released, they put redemptions in for them. Really, we can't blame the company. For example, back in August, Panini annouced that they received signed stickers back for Chris Henry, yes the deceased Chris Henry of the Bengals. What happened? My guess is that he signed them, never sent them in. His family ran across them as they were cleaning his room....his house, whatever his living situation was, and mailed them in. It is up to the players to mail back the cards/stickers. No company can make a player do anything even though they are paying them. I do get the fact that redemption shouldn't expire or at least be honored in some way but from my understanding, there are government regulation that the companies have to ad heard to when it comes to redemptions and or contests which redemptions fall under. So when we are saying that the companies are too lazy, we really don't know what goes on behind the scenes. I am quite sure most players are given the same or rather a great amount of time to get the stickers back to the company. We need to stop blaming them because we don't really know who is the cause. Don't be suprised if you see what I mentioned above again. I wanted to do a post on this topic anyway.

Surya Paramount PAR 1012 Brown Rug
Item #: 158PAR1012-P Add to Wishlist
Features: This product has the following features:
- Collection: Paramount
- Brand: Surya
- Material: 100% Polypropylene
- Weave: Machine Made
- Styles: Contemporary Rugs
- Origin: Egypt
- Available in the following sizes: 7' 9" x 11' 2
Great rug for the price! Soft. A little bit on the thin side, but we picked this up for under $100 and it's a good price!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Happy with the product for the price. Thinner than I had optimistically hoped, but within my expectations. Only problem I have with it is that I can't get the wrinkles to calm down after almost 2 weeks on the ground - might have to try to actively flatten the rug. The blue is more green than I wanted, but it's close enough. more of a turquoise than sky blue.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Surya, a mark of quality and an expert source of ideas for making your home come alive with true timeless beauty. Though styles have come and gone, beneath them all is the fundamental principal that Surya area rugs are created to touch our senses. From concept through production, a member of the Surya family is there making sure that the highest standards are being met.

kurtamaxxxguy Posts: 1,759'14 XT, so local techs told me, has adaptive engine/transimssion behavior, so after awhile, it adapts to your driving style.
In my case, while not being aggressively driven, the vehicle's intelligent mode is becoming more responsive (quicker tip in). CVT also seems to respond more quickly.
Compared to the old 4-speed, the CVT's more responsive. However, the rare but beloved-by-enthusiasts "throttle stomp" never brings immediate response from any Subaru I've driven.
FYI has anyone else here found the '14 XT seats firmer than the previous model year? :confuse: -
ateixeira Posts: 72,587They've used adaptive transmissions for a while now.
Rolling in to the throttle seems to work better on Subarus. The only car I've owned that handles the quick stabs at the throttle well in my 08 Miata, it's incredibly responsive.
Worst was a 1980 Ford Mustang. Throttle was like an on/off switch. If you stomped, you got a good 2-3 seconds of hesitation, so much so that it was dangerous. -

kurtamaxxxguy Posts: 1,759Almost every '14 Forester review disses the Nav system inherited from the BRZ, saying touch screen is klugey and hard to use. Unfortunately that's often true, and worse, it washes out when hit by sunlight.
However, what isn't said is Subaru put controls on the left side of the steering wheel that let you bypass many screen touches (you can select audio mode, volume, and walk up/down the station list.
In fact, there are _many_ controls on the steering wheel, including selectors for the center dash display and (through that display) vehicle modes. -
fibber2 Mid Hudson Valley, NYPosts: 3,735The "march to 20" rims" is basically a 'keeping up with the Joneses' problem. The auto writers seem to hone in on anything still delivered with 16" wheels as "inadequate". Why? Track test results? Form over Function.
My OBW came standard with 225/60-16, with all-season rubber. My winter tire package is 215/65-16. Yes, the handling is slightly sharper with the lower profile tires, but the ride is Sooooo much nicer with the 65 series. -
volkov Posts: 1,302Testify!!
I have ranted before about the silly big rim trend. Serves no real purpose other than looks in a non performance model. Replacements and snow tires can be ridiculously expensive. Make for a harsher ride. My WRX runs the stock 17's in Summer, but 16's in the winter, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Cold weather makes the tires harder anyway and with most of our roads very rough from uneven snow cover during a solid 3 months of our 6 months snow season, I appreciate the extra cushion. -
sgloon Posts: 322Totally agree on the tires not shedding snow on my stock tires. I'm in CO and my wheel wells get so chock full of compacted snow that I think it affects the mileage. It also affects turning. I have also slid out on city streets with not much snow on them. Not at all like my old subie!
I really wish I had known the 16" rims were available for my 2010. The 17" make the car too tall for me not only to get into easily, but to put the canoe on top, etc. Even losing that 1" would be better. And wouldn't rollover possibility diminish some with the lower profile?
For those who switch to the 16" wheels for winter: Is it easy to reprogram the odometer, etc.? -
sgloon Posts: 322BTW, did you all see the recall on the 2014 Foresters?

xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,737Unless you did so intentionally, you wouldn't necessarily lose any ride height or change the speedometer's calibration appreciably. When going to 16" rims, you simply get tires that have a 1/2" taller sidewall.2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon
robr2 BostonPosts: 8,087But sgloon feels the car is too tall for entry/exit, reaching the roof and that the wheel wells pack up with snow due to the large diameter so minus one sizing (with the same overall diameter) would still create all the issues he has.
IMHO, going to a smaller size to reduce height and diameter really won't make much of a difference. -
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,737Right, but dropping to a smaller tire diameter.... enough to make an appreciable effect on the issues you cited, would have a huge impact on the car's calibration. With everything being electronic these days, I would think that stuff could be adjusted using a factory "scan tool," but others have said they are non-adjustable?
Bigger wheels do allow for bigger brakes, but since we can still put 16" wheels on these cars, what is the justification for 18? Kinda like the fins on Cadillacs about half a century ago.....
FWIW, I use the door sills as steps when securing overhead loads. The rear bumper shell also has a nice step for this purpose, assuming the bumper protector is installed. Otherwise, it can be slippery when wet!2010 Subaru Forester, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 1969 Chevrolet C20 Pickup, 1969 Ford Econoline 100, 1976 Ford F250 Pickup, 1974 Ford Pinto Wagon -
grahampeters AustraliaPosts: 1,700G'day
Having lusted after the Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 since their introduction, I sat in one today. The shock was the discovery that the seats are too low and too tight for me.
I will just have to make do with my eight year old Toyota Kluger which seems to roll on cheaply from year to year. Now has 210,000km (about 130,000 miles) and is costing very little to run with today's service on AUD300. I have promised myself that I will replace it when it costs AUD3,000 in a month.

kurtamaxxxguy Posts: 1,759Seats have little bolstering and seem pretty hard, could be tilted towards door as my shoulders keep hitting right side of seat.
Navigation display would benefit enormously from being OLED (LCD washes out in sun). Steering wheel controls for nav/entertainment are handy, while voice commands are sluggish and error prone.
Subaru dealers apparently have no parts lists for the '14's yet so if something breaks, they can't order anything. Service training for these is just starting. Apparently this is becoming a major trend with new model releases (GM does same thing, etc.). :sick:
Consumers Union's hinting '14 Forester ride's deteriorated. Not sure what they mean. The XT's definitely firmer than before: you'll feel undulations and road surface. But actual bumps or potholes seem well damped. The '09 XT I had would kick up, crash and rattle its rear end over speed bumps, while the '14 simply absorbs most of bump without fuss.
XT's engine's burning no oil whatsoever .
Floor mats have showed no sign of curling, but they'll be replaced once the dealer gets the recall parts. -

The thing that I love most about Brewers fans is their ability to travel. The Brewers can't go on a road trip without someone from Wisconsin taking their vacation around wanting to see them play. While other teams may have larger fan bases, the Brewers fans are as loyal as anyone. They're like really good stalkers. I like to travel with the team myself, but I prefer to spend my money on multiple games spread across the season as opposed to spending a lot on a single series. Another thing I love? Drinking. That's why I try to take the trip down to Wrigley for at least one game a year. I'm still traveling with the team, it doesn't affect my Brewer game budget and I can drink heavily. About a month ago I picked Thursday's 1:20 game as the perfect opportunity to make my annual trip and got four bleacher tickets because I wanted sun. My crew for this day was my buddy Oscar (Brewers fan) and two other buddies (Cubs fans). We all had the simplest of instructions, prepare to get legendary.

WATERTOWN, Mass. — A 19-year-old college student wanted in the Boston Marathon bombings was taken into custody Friday evening after a manhunt that left the city virtually paralyzed and his older brother and accomplice dead.
Police announced via Twitter that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was in custody. They later wrote, "CAPTURED!!! The hunt is over. The search is done. The terror is over. And justice has won. Suspect in custody."
Tsarnaev's brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan, was killed Friday in a furious attempt to escape police.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had been holed up in a boat in a Watertown neighborhood. The crowd gathered near the scene let out a cheer when spectators saw officers clapping.
"Everyone wants him alive," said Kathleen Paolillo, a 27-year-old teacher who lives in Watertown.
Boston Mayor Tom Menino tweeted "We got him," along with a photo of the police commissioner speaking to him. Watertown residents poured out of their homes and lined the streets to cheer police vehicles as they rolled away from the scene.
During a long night of violence Thursday into Friday, the brothers killed an MIT police officer, severely wounded another lawman and hurled explosives at police in a car chase and gun battle, authorities said.
The suspects were identified by law enforcement officials and family members as Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, ethnic Chechen brothers who had lived in Dagestan, which neighbors Chechnya in southern Russia. They had been in the U.S. for about a decade, an uncle said, and were believed to be living in Cambridge, Mass.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, a 26-year-old who had been known to the FBI as Suspect No. 1 and was seen in surveillance footage of the marathon in a black baseball cap, was killed overnight, officials said. His younger brother, who had been dubbed Suspect No. 2 and was seen wearing a white, backward baseball cap in the images from Monday's deadly bombing — escaped and was on the run.
Their uncle in Maryland, Ruslan Tsarni, pleaded on live television: "Dzhokhar, if you are alive, turn yourself in and ask for forgiveness."
Authorities in Boston suspended all mass transit and warned close to 1 million people in the entire city and some of its suburbs to stay indoors as the hunt for Suspect No. 2 went on. Businesses were asked not to open. People waiting at bus and subway stops were told to go home. The Red Sox and Bruins postponed their games.
From Watertown to Cambridge, police SWAT teams, sharpshooters and FBI agents surrounded various buildings as police helicopters buzzed overhead and armored vehicles rumbled through the streets. Authorities also searched trains.
"We believe this man to be a terrorist," said Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis. "We believe this to be a man who's come here to kill people."
The bombings on Monday killed three people and wounded more than 180 others, tearing off limbs in a spray of shrapnel and instantly raising the specter of another terrorist attack on U.S. soil.
Chechnya was the scene of two wars between Russian forces and separatists since 1994, in which tens of thousands were killed in heavy Russian bombing. That spawned an Islamic insurgency that has carried out deadly bombings in Russia and the region, although not in the West.
Investigators in the Boston case have shed no light on the motive for the bombing and have said it is unclear whether it was the work of domestic or international terrorists or someone else entirely with an unknown agenda.
The endgame — at least for Suspect No. 1 — came just hours after the FBI released photos and video of the two young men at the marathon's finish line and appealed to the public for help in identifying and capturing them.
State Police spokesman Dave Procopio said police realized they were dealing with the bombing suspects based on what the two men told a carjacking victim during their getaway attempt overnight.

Reid might be wise to tone down or avoid such thinly veiled threats if he's really interested in swaying some Senate Republicans to his side on immigration reform. Reid's more positive sentiments were echoed in the days after Election Day by New York Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer, chairman of the immigration subcommittee.
"I am optimistic," Schumer said of the outlook for immigration reform in post-election media reports.
Signaling a glimmer of hope for compromise following the election, GOP House Speaker John Boehner said, "If there is a mandate in yesterday's results, it is a mandate for us to find a way to work together on solutions to the challenges we face together as a nation."
House and Senate leadership are talking a good game. Let's hope they're actually willing to play ball.
At the risk of straying from cautious optimism to outright pessimism, despite the compelling argument for action on the immigration front, political inertia (to be charitable, one could call it principle) is difficult to overcome.
And with the so-called "fiscal cliff" awaiting the lame duck session of Congress, there's plenty of opportunity to burn up what little hope exists for Democrats and Republicans to work for compromise.
For the good of the country and the produce industry, let's hope the sometimes stubborn Obama, the polarized House of Representatives and Senate, and the still deeply divided U.S. citizenry accept that immigration reform is in the nation's best interest and needs to happen.

Cubs top Pirates 3-2 while fans blast shaky Carlos Marmol on Twitter
BY GORDON WITTENMYER email@example.com April 4, 2013 9:59PM
Carlos Marmol, Dioner Navarro
Updated: April 5, 2013 9:35PM
PITTSBURGH — Maybe it's a good thing for Carlos Marmol and the Cubs that this road trip goes another series before they head home for the Wrigley Field opener.
Three games into the season, the Cubs have a winning record, a share of first place and a starting rotation that took advantage of the cold in Pittsburgh to roll the Pirates lineup. They also have a closer controversy that overshadowed it all as the team traveled south to Atlanta on Thursday night after a 3-2 win at PNC Park.
It's not as if nobody saw this coming.
But unless Marmol — or manager Dale Sveum — makes a sudden reversal, Marmol won't find anyplace safe from the fans' wrath, considering the reaction on Twitter alone Thursday when he nearly blew a 3-0 lead in the ninth.
He put the first four batters on base with three singles and a walk to make it a one-run game with runners at the corners and none out before striking out Pedro Alvarez and getting Neil Walker to ground into a double play.
It was the second rough appearance for Marmol in as many tries since he finished his spring with three shaky outings.
But Sveum said he's sticking with his closer, at least for now.
''I'm not doing anything [with Marmol],'' Sveum said. ''We're 2-1, and everybody's in the same role heading into Atlanta.''
Unlike in Monday's outing, Sveum didn't have his other late-inning ''weapons'' available because he'd used them leading up to the ninth — including a particularly effective Kyujii Fujikawa, who needed just nine pitches to handle the eighth.
If Marmol didn't know that most fans on social media were calling for him to be fired as the closer, he was informed by a beat writer who asked about that outcry compared to Sveum's faith in him.
''That's a tough question,'' Marmol said, laughing before getting more serious. ''I'm going to continue trying to do my job.
''It's [been] tough. But I'm still fighting. I'm going to be fighting every time when I go to the mound.''
Sveum tried to deflect the latest round of criticism by pointing out that Marmol was generally throwing more strikes, giving up hits instead of hitting guys and walking more than just the one batter he walked Thursday.
But even Marmol admitted the obvious.
''I'm not going to say that's my best slider or my best fastball,'' he said. ''But I made good pitches today when I need it.''
Of course, the controversy is magnified in part because it's so early in the season and Marmol has allowed half of the six runs the pitching staff has allowed and has put seven men on base against just four outs recorded.
It's magnified in larger part by the 20 or so Japanese media members crammed into Sveum's office to monitor Fujikawa, the former Japanese All-Star closer.
At least it's early. Marmol has nearly four months to improve his trade value before the July 31 deadline. And this is a guy, after all, who converted 12 of 13 chances with a 1.52 ERA after the All-Star break last year.
''We know things can get interesting with him,'' Sveum said.
Of course, outside of potential trade value, the irony is it won't matter much in the long run unless the Cubs continue to get late leads consistently.
Which brings it back to the things that got overshadowed: two-run homers by Anthony Rizzo on Monday and Nate Schierholtz in the eighth inning Thursday, a 0.95 ERA among the three Cubs starters in 19 innings against the Pirates, and mostly lights-out pitching from the rest of the bullpen.
''We won both ballgames we were ahead in,'' Sveum said. ''It was nice to start on the road and win two out of three from a good team and three good starting pitchers. That's a good start.''

Try as you might, you couldn't make this face on your own if you wanted to. This contortion only comes from wind speeds of 140 miles per hour or more blowing back your lips and cheeks as you to try and keep your eyes closed so they don't dry out.
This is what photographer Tadas Černiauskas exposed his willing subjects to as a partner aimed a leaf blower at their faces.
"It was meant to give some good laughter to the viewers and participants," Černiauskas wrote in an email to The Blaze. "It turned out to be more than I expected, and that is why I like what I do today — every day is full of pleasant surprises."

Latest from all the library blogs.
Reading eBooks from our digital library, www.myjcpl.org/overdrive, is now easier than ever.
The app to enjoy digital titles on your mobile device, OverDrive Media Console (OMC), has been completely redesigned with ease of use top of mind. A new version of the app was unveiled on August 20. Some highlighted features include:
September is National Library Card Sign Up Month, and in honor of this special occasion, all three branches of the Jasper County Public Library will be celebrating throughout the month by offering a small prize to everyone signing up for their first library card with JCPL.
"You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time," was a favorite saying of my Mom's. One thing that I think we can all agree on, though, is that the price of gas these days is intimidating.
The Jasper County Public Library would like to thank the community for the success of this year's Summer Reading Programs! These programs would not be possible without the donations received from local businesses and organizations, the volunteers who help each week, and the excited patrons who participate!
The nature of the Internet is that old things are always new.
For instance, recently a patron stumbled upon some cool videos made by Rensselaer Middle School students about the history of the town, apparently for a school contest.
Even though these videos are three years old, they are still new to us, and just as neat now as if they had just been made.
Whether you are looking forward to cooler weather, or revelling in the hottest days of the year, the month of August holds plenty to do. Visit the state fair or get those last vacation days in, just be sure to stop by the library to grab a cool book in some cool air conditioning for those hot hot days.
Maybe you have cool technology at school or at home, or maybe your only access to technology is an old lab in the basement corner behind the filing cabinets in a disused bathroom with a sign on the door that says "beware of the leopard." (Can you name that book reference?)
Whenever and however you are able to use technology, are you doing the wrong things with it?
I take books along with me everywhere I go; in fact, on a recent visit to the dentist, I took a book along for company, because "I've been to the dentist before, so I know the drill."
We know you're out there…you've been in the library all summer – reading our books, watching our movies, listening to our cds, looking at our magazines. So, where are you when school starts? I know you don't like school so much that you spend every free hour flipping through your textbooks and figuring out how else to expand your scholastic knowledge.
Summer Reading continues this month with movies and crafts and programs for all ages. The fair happens July 13-19, and for many Jasper County kids and teens, the fair will be their home away from home for that week.
In between all that busy time, read on for some cool links including a video about fireworks, a facebook app featuring Minions, and much much more!

DothL is not just a Dylan Thomas quote, but also a nice little campaign from the first edition days.
In my experience (3/4 through) it ties in nicely with the published 3rd ed material. The adventure has no world-sweeping impact so is you are willing to use some 1st ed tropes, you don't have to change much. The campaign has Fimir and references to gods of law and a more obscure chaos god. I welcomed these things mostly for sentimental reasons.
The adventure ties in nicely with 'The Witch's Song" due to proximity (DothL starts and ends in Marienburg witch the rest of it set in the Wasteland). In my game, I had the group finish "Winds of Change" which promoted our Wizard's apprentice, who then was asked to get a book of lore in Marienburg. On the way there the group stopped in a little town called Faulingmere…..
Finishing The Witch's Song they thus had ample reason to continue to Marienburg which sets DothL in motion.
DotL features a giant octupus pretty eartly on, which is an opportunity to let the "Beast of Faulingmere" reappear (severly wounded from the tunnel collapse).
Happy gaming!

Happy Birthday to Yu Darvish (Who Is the Best)! In groundbreaking news, he cut and darkened the color of his hair last week and then promptly pitched a fantastic game against Detroit on Sunday. I don't know if he's taken advantage of my convenient guide to Dallas yet, but if not, now would be a good moment.
New hair, guys! Maybe not as groundbreaking as Miley Cyrus meets little-kid-with-scissors-in-hand but still pretty exciting, if you ask me.
We love you, Yu. We have also heard rumors that you speak perfectly good English and are just pulling all of our legs by using a translator. In which case we think you should stop that, pronto. Still, we love Yu. You. You know.

Puentes de Cristo was founded in 1981 by a group of pastors from the Rio Grande River Valley, on both the US and Mexican sides of the border. These pastors wanted to develop closer ties with fellow Presbyterians on the other side of the border.
Based out of Nuevo Laredo, México and Laredo, Texas, Proyecto Amistad was established in 1985 by the Presbyterian Border Ministry, in Eagle Pass, TX and Piedras Negras, Mexico.
Pasos de Fe currently has six missions/churches in Juarez, the second largest city in Mexico, and one church in Chihuahua City.
Frontera de Cristo is called by God to a ministry of reconciliation on the US/Mexican border addressing spirit, body, and mind. Frontera de Cristo shares the Good News of Jesus Christ through its six ministry areas: Church Development, Family Ministry, Health Ministry, Mission Education, the New Hope Community Center and the Micro-credit Ministry.
Compañeros en Misión (Partners in Mission) is a program of La Iglesia Nacioanl Presbiteriana de Mexico and th Presbyterian Church (USA) in the state of Sonora, Mexico, and the state of Arizona, USA.
Tijuana, a city of two million people, is located in Baja California, across the border from San Diego. Coming from states in the interior and south of Mexico, new immigrants flock to the city to start over. In numerous families the husbands and older sons work in assembly plants for meager wages, and the women stay home to care for their children, clean their tiny homes, and cook.

Visit the Railway
Welcome to the Watercress Line!
Step back in time to the Golden Age of Steam at this living history railway running through ten miles of rolling Hampshire countryside, along the northern edge of the new South Downs National Park.
You can join the Watercress Line at New Alresford, famous for its clear chalk streams and watercress farms, located just 7 miles from the ancient city of Winchester. Opened in 1865, the railway was well known for its early role transporting locally grown watercress to the markets in London and beyond, from which it takes its name today. Alresford is a picturesque Georgian town to explore, with boutique shops and cafes and nearby national Trust property Hinton Ampner.
Along the line at Ropley station you can enjoy a stroll on the elevated picnic area, from where you can cross the famous King's Cross footbridge, that featured in the Harry Potter films, to the Loco Yard. Here you can get up close to the locomotives and see preservation in action from the viewing galleries in our impressive engineering sheds.
At the peaceful country station of Medstead and Four Marks, the highest station in Southern England, you can relax and watch the world go by. The steep gradient of the line to this station means we need a fleet of large, powerful steam locomotives capable of hauling heavy trains 'over the Alps'; a spectacular sight and sound any time of the year!
At the Alton end of the line you can also join us by car or mainline train; just an hour from London Waterloo the trains arrive at platforms 1 & 2 and we run from platform 3. This bustling market town has a delightful mix of historic buildings and modern shops, with its own Curtis Museum and Allen gallery and links to Jane Austen's House Museum just a mile away in nearby Chawton.
Our tickets give you all day unlimited travel, enabling you to enjoy as many rides on the Watercress Line as you wish as you explore the four period stations and surrounding area and attractions.
Use the Visit The Railway pages to plan your visit; here you will find our calendar showing the Opening Times and Prices with links to the relevant pages for train timetables, detals of our special events under Whats On and tickets for our dining and real ale trains and further information about our activities.
