EL PASO--- Three people are dead after a helicopter crashed Friday night at McGregor Range, according to the helicoptor company's representatives.
Pilot William Montgomery and paramedics John Sutter and Anthony Archuleta were conducting a training exercise for a Southwest Med Evac helicopter on the Fort Bliss military reservation, when the chopper crashed upon landing around 7:30 p.m., according to Omniflight Helicopters representatives.
Fort Bliss contracts Southwest Med Evac, a unit of Omniflight Helicopters, for emergency medical services.
The crew was not transporting patients.
"The cause of the accident is unknown at this time," said Anthony DiNota, president and COO of Omniflight Helicopters.
The crew was training for a simulated medical evacuation, as required by Fort Bliss.
"Right now, our focus is on the families who are experiencing this huge loss, and we are working with federal investigators to identify the cause," said DiNota.
The National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration were notified and are investigating.
The weather was clear at the time of the accident and the pilot was in contact with military range control officers and the company's communication center, read the Omniflight statement.
Representatives say the helicopter had night vision goggles, satellite navigation, radar altimeter and GPS.

NEW YORK (MONEY Magazine) - Mortgage insurance (sometimes called PMI, for private mortgage insurance) can be quite expensive -- from $16 a month to $50 a month for every $100,000 you borrow -- and it's not optional.
You have to carry mortgage insurance if you put down less than 20 percent when you buy a house. The way it works for loans made after July 1998 is that your lender must cancel your mortgage insurance once you've accrued equity in your home of 22 percent.
The wrinkle comes when the value of your home appreciates rapidly, as it's done in many parts of the country over the past few years. All of that appreciation belongs to you, not the lender, and it may boost your ownership stake above the 20 percent mark. When that happens, you should try to get rid of your mortgage insurance.
As long as you've made two full years of payments, your first move is to ask your lender to let you drop the insurance. You'll have to have your house appraised, which will probably cost you about $350.
If you plan on staying in the house (and not refinancing) for more months than it would take you to make that $350 back from the savings you'll accrue after cancelling your PMI, it makes sense to proceed.
But first you'll want a good indication that you're right about the value of your home. So check the sale prices of comparable homes in your neighborhood, visit a Web site like Domania.com or call a realtor to learn what your house would list for.
Your lender may decline your appraisal or require a second one. But if you have a very large mortgage and hefty PMI premiums -- say, a $500,000 mortgage and a monthly PMI bill of $250 -- you can recoup your appraisal costs in a matter of months.
There is another option: a refi. When you refinance, your house is appraised. That seals the value. As long as you borrow less than about 80 percent of the value of your home, you'll need no insurance on the new mortgage.
But is it worth doing? It's a cost-benefit question, like all refis. You need to ask yourself: How do the refinancing costs stack up against my monthly savings on PMI? How long will it take for this transaction to pay off? Will I be in the house long enough to benefit?
Again, you're most likely to come out ahead if you have a jumbo mortgage and high PMI premiums.

Since its inception over forty years ago, Princeton Summer Theater has provided the Princeton community with great works of theater produced by the stars of tomorrow. PST is dedicated to training the up-and-coming leaders of the theater world and offers students and young professionals experience working in every area of theater production, from performance, to design, to marketing... and everything in between.Housed in the charmingly intimate Hamilton Murray Theater, PST has helped launch the careers of hundreds of young artists while bringing high-quality, affordable theater to the Princeton area. Some of PST's notable alumni include Tony Award-winning actress Bebe Neuwirth (Chicago), Tony award-winning producer Geoff Rich (Avenue Q), and Hollywood veteran William Hootkins (Star Wars, Batman).
In 1968, seeking to continue their theatrical endeavors into the summer months, Princeton
University students and Theatre Intime members Charles Bernstein, Geoff Peterson and Jon
Lorrain founded the organization that we now call Princeton Summer Theater. The Hamilton
Murray Theater had never before housed a successful student-run summer repertory company,
but these bold youngsters were not to be deterred. They organized an ensemble, and Summer
Intime was born. It was a huge success, prompting Princeton University to install a much needed
air conditioning system in the Hamilton Murray Theater.
Summer Intime prospered for many years, and soon a board of theater- and community-savvy trustees was assembled to advise students involved. Eventually, the company's name was changed to Princeton Summer Theater. The current Princeton Summer Theater board of trustees counts among its members William Lockwood, Special Programming Director of McCarter Theater; Michael Cadden, Chairman of Princeton University's Program in Theatre and Dance; Geoff Rich, Executive Director of The New Group Theater; and Geoff Peterson, founding member of Summer Intime.
A one-million-dollar renovation of the Hamilton Murray Theater halted PST's production for two seasons in 1999 and 2000. But in 2001, a group of devoted students led by Amanda Brandes (currently Director of Internal Affairs for the Dorset Theatre Festival and a PST trustee) revived the company and reintroduced Princeton Summer Theater to the community. The newly renovated theater has seen improved attendance and great critical success every year since. As Princeton Summer Theater continues to grow -- this summer presenting a more ambitious season than ever -- it remains committed to making challenging, entertaining plays accessible to the Princeton community and hopes to do so for many summers to come.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Every thing about the invite was great. I took my daughters wedding invitation and made a bridal shower invite out of it. It will be such a great surprise to her to see the shower invite and then to save it as a keepsake along with the matching "save the date"."
"Rounding out our suite of wedding paper products, the program may have been my favorite. Like the other products in this suite, it was of high paper and print quality. We had several design requests which were easily adopted by the design reviewer. The turn around on the design changes was a matter of hours. Printing and delivery was faster than estimated."
"I created a welcome card to include in gift baskets to be delivered to out of town guests. This was my first time using Wedding Paper Divas. I was completely blown away. The quality and service way exceeded my expectations. Absolutely beautiful and 100% perfect. Beautiful printing, thick and high quality paper. I will only use this company in the future. Really amazing."
"This card is so beautiful! I love the fact that the front cover photo is sheer, which makes it a bit more romantic and beautiful, in my opinion. I love that you can customize the inside, especially adding pictures of the wedding party! All in all, a beautiful product and I recommend it!"
"We love these programs! They are absolutely beautiful! I would suggest you go with the pearl paper. It's what make the entire design come together."

Welcome to Husky Battalion! In order to help orient you to your new command, visit the pages that apply to you. You will find useful information and necessary forms as well. You may also wish to view the UW's official admissions FAQ: http://admit.washington.edu/FAQ/Admission

What requirements do I need to meet for the command before commissioning?
You will be assigned a sponsor while you are at NSI. Your sponsor will be an OC at the UW NROTC unit. He or she will contact you while you are at NSI and answer any questions you may have. You are encouraged to communicate with your sponsor early and often, it is their job to make sure your check in process goes smoothly.
If you are nearing your NSI graduation date and you have not heard from your sponsor, please contact the Sponsor Coordinator.
You can check in off leave at the battalion admin office located on the second floor of Clark Hall. They are open Monday through Friday 0730 to 1600 while school is in session. It is a good idea to call ahead before you check in to ensure someone will be there. The office can be contacted at 206-543-0170.
For check in bring your signed orders, service record, medical and dental records, military ID, and NSI transcript (ensure you pick up a signed copy before leaving NSI). Report in Service Khaki. When you arrive in Seattle, we can provide a duty driver for transport from the airport. Contact the Sponsor Coordinator a week in advance to arrage a pickup time.
After you report in, you will be given the opportunity to take house-hunting leave. This is up to five working days of special liberty to help you find a place to live. This can be strung together with one or two weekends; only working days count. You may take house-hunting leave once and only when you first report in.
While many Officer Candidates live within walking distance of the UW, you may elect to reside closer to Naval Station Everett (20 miles north) or Naval Station Bremerton (60 miles west). Students not living in military housing will receive Seattle BAH rates.
Living outside the U-District can save money. Prices come down a lot if you're willing to make a 10-15 minute commute from Wallingford, Wedgwood, Northgate, Maple Leaf, or Ballard. Prices go down further and the houses get a lot nicer if you're willing to leave Seattle and live in Shoreline or Mill Creek or Lynnwood. In general, we recommend going north, as the neighborhoods are much nicer and most of the OC's tend to live north, so you have a lot of carpool options.
On the other hand, you will probably be commuting to UW every weekday, so living close can save you a lot of time and a lot of miles. Some of our OCs even live in the dorms on campus. It's a matter of personal preference, how nice do you want your home to be and how much are you willing to pay?
Lastly, we don't recommend living across the water in Kitsap County, but it can be done. Some of our OCs do it, but the commute is really long and inconvenient when you have to be at school by 0630. Most likely your are considering this option because you are in a mil-mil relationship, and it may be worth it for that. If you're considering doing this, contact the Sponsor Coordinator.
Many students walk or ride their bikes to campus for free. The UW will send you a U-pass every quarter which allows you to take any King County, Community Transit, Pierce Transit, Sound Transit, or Kitsap Transit bus or train. Bus routes and schedules can be found on the Metro homepage. Your U-pass will also give you a parking discount. If you drive to campus alone or in a carpool of two, you should park in the Montlake E1 lot, just east of campus. If you drive to campus in a carpool of three or more, you can park on campus. You must put money into your husky card account in order to use your U-pass for parking. More information about parking can be found on the UW parking homepage.
Active duty students are eligable to have public transportation fees repaid with the TIP program. Sign up with the Supply Officer when you report.
All of your uniforms will be worn in the same manner as you wore them at NSI with a few exceptions. Officer candidates do NOT wear the large gold anchors on the SDB jacket. Simply remove them; nothing goes there. Also we do NOT wear the small gold anchors on the collars of the Service Khaki or the Working Khaki uniforms. You will be issued "OC Pins" on your first day which are worn on the collar in the exact same fashion. Continue to wear the anchor on your garrison caps.
For PT you will wear the Navy issue yellow T-shirt and navy blue shorts. All or half of your navy blue sweats can be worn if desired. Wear good running shoes.
All uniforms are worn as normal for enlisted personnel.
For PT you will be issued a "Bulldog" T-shirt to be worn with plain black bottoms. Your Marine sweats may also be worn. Occationally you will run a in boots and cammies, so ensure you have broken in shoes.
- All
We also wear a unit polo shirt on some days. You will be issued one shirt but you can purchase more. The unit polo is worn with a normal pair of khaki slacks. You must wear a belt and keep the shirt tucked in. You must wear proper shoes – no athletic shoes or sandals. They do not need to be dress shoes either, a nice pair of black or brown walking shoes will do.
Once you start school you will be allowed to wear civilian clothes on non-uniform days. Proper civilian attire must be worn in the wardroom at all times. Always wear a belt if wearing pants with belt loops. Shirts that have a tail, or are longer in the front and the rear, need to be tucked in. Shirts, including T-shirts, that are even length around the bottom do not need to be tucked in. Sandals are allowed if they are in good condition. No cheap looking flip-flops or shower shoes are allowed to be worn. You should always have a smart haircut and be clean shaven when on campus.
During the normal school year you will stand two or three duty driver watches each quarter. Make sure to sign up on the watchbill. During the summer you will be required to stand several OOD watches and conduct morning and evening colors.
You will need to change your tricare coverage to the Northwest region. Our command qualifies for Tricare Remote if you would prefer not to be attached to a MTF in Everett or Bremerton. There is a Coast Guard station near the UW that can handle most routine exams (i.e. PHA).
You can choose to maintain your own medical and dental record. Unless you live nearby a MTF, keeping your medical record is recommended as you may need to visit several different medical facilites in the process of getting a commissioning physical.
You do earn leave as normal and you will only need to take leave if you plan on leaving the 300 mi radius around Seattle. Because of this, most OCs end up building up their leave reserves while in school. Leave opportunities are available between quarters and for special purposes you may be permitted to take leave during the school year.
Always endeavor to present yourself professionally in a military environment. Here are some basic rules to show respect in our unit
- When talking to a superior (i.e. instructors) stand straight with your hands held behind you near your lower back. We call this modified parade rest. Use correct grammer. No slang (common offenses: yeah, nah). Address the person either by title or if they are an officer, you may also use Sir/Ma'am.
If you are showing up to the unit in civilian gear, make sure it is clean, serviceable, and of an appropriate fit. Cheap flip-flops are not allowed, but nice sandals are permitted. Males should be clean shaven.
- Your first impression will stick in the minds of your peers and instructors. Put a little extra effort into your wardrobe when you meet them. A T-shirt and jeans outfit is okay, but a button up shirt or polo will make you look serious about our Battalion.
- If you can't make it to a meeting or know you will be late, contact someone as soon as you know a conflict exists.
What things need to be done at the university before I start classes/register?
Immunizations - Bring a copy of your immunization records to Hall Health. Until you get this done, you will be locked out of the registration system.
Tuition and Identification - You will also need to pick up a UW ID card and establish residency (active duty) for tuition purposes. Be sure to bring your orders and your military ID when applying for residency tuition at the Registrar.
Email/UWNet ID - You should have a UWNet ID and email address that ends in @u.washington.edu. If you do not, go to this UWNet ID creation page. You will need a UWNet ID to use the online class registration. Additionally our unit communicates by email extensively. You should subscribe to the uwnavy mailing list. NROTC information is sent out to this list daily. When asked if you'd like to receive the list mail batched in a daily digest, select no. Questions about the mailing list can be directed to our Computer Science Officer.
What kind of schedule can I expect during the school year?
While at times the schedule at the unit can be demanding, for the most part the below routine describes a typical week:
Monday Marines: Attend "Bulldog" PT session (0630-0730); Attend classes (civilian attire)
Tuesday Attend classes following GMT (General Military Training) from 0630-0730 in Service Khaki (or other) uniform
Wednesday Attend classes (civilian attire) following PT from 0630 to 0730 in PT gear
(Navy issue yellow t-shirt and blue shorts, Navy sweats optional)
Thursday Attend classes (civilian attire)
Friday Marines: Attend "Bulldog" PT session (0630-0730); Attend classes (civilian attire)
The weekend typically has activities that you may or may not have to participate in (i.e. Sail team event; Marine field exercise, etc.)
Active duty students will attend classes full-time year-round.
What requirements do I need to meet for the command before commissioning?
OCs will need to take another 3 Naval Science courses in addition to those completed at NSI (make sure you turn in your NSI transcripts!)
- NSCI 201 Naval Leadership and Management (offered Autumn quarter)

In a landmark decision, the United States Supreme Court has struck down a long-standing handgun ban in the controversial McDonald v Chicago case.
Ruling 5-4, the justices affirmed an earlier decision which stated that the constitutional rights enshrined in the Second Amendment trump the power of the states on the issue of firearm possession for self-defense.
Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito affirmed that "self-defense is a basic right, recognized by many legal systems from ancient times to the present day." However, Justice Stephen Breyer countered in the dissenting opinion that one person's interest in keeping arms may diminish another person's interest in feeling safe from armed violence.
Breyer also wrote that "it is at least reasonable for a democratically elected legislature to take such concerns into account in considering what sorts of regulations would best serve the public welfare."
The verdict was welcomed by an array of gun rights organizations, such as the Illinois State Rifle Association and the Second Amendment Foundation, but roundly criticized by the Violence Policy Center and Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
The Chicago law banning handguns has been on the books for 28 years.

Schezuan Sauce, made with fiery spices and condiments, holds an indispensable place in Chinese cuisine. The Schezuan Noodles, as the name suggests, is an authentic Chinese preparation of Hakka noodles with sautéed veggies and this pungent sauce. While you can throw any vegetables into this dish, it tastes much better when prepared with veggies like carrot, cabbage, celery and capsicum, which are typically used in Oriental cooking. Long and crunchy bean sprouts are also essential to enhance the authenticity of this dish.

Noodles are my favourite and schezuan noodles is on the top.. Although the colour is not so dark compared to the restaurants but it is definitely because they add a drop of colour which we don't.. but trust me the taste is soo much same.. You will just love it..
Fast and easy to make. Noodles taste great with Schezuan sauce, chilli oil and blend well with carrot, capsicum strips and bean sprouts.

Dear Mark: Rancid Fat, Store-Bought Mayo and Rice Bran Oil
Posted By Mark Sisson On March 28, 2011 @ 10:10 am In Dear Mark,Fat | 85 Comments
It's been a while since I published a Dear Mark [7] post and it's been a fairly anemic news week, so I thought I'd address a trio of (related) reader questions.
If you've ever wondered what it means for a fat to be rancid (both for the fat and your body if you consume it), whether eating just a little store-bought every once in a while is all that bad, or where rice bran oil falls in the spectrum of Primal fats read on.
The first comes from reader Timre –
I am a newcomer to the blog and I have been reading up on oils and fats in here and there is a lot of great information but I am having trouble understanding what fats going rancid and oxidizing under heat means to my health. Can you elaborate on this for me?
Fantastic question. Before I answer, let's make sure we understand exactly what we mean by "going rancid" or "oxidizing under heat." Rancidity is popularly defined as the development of obnoxious tastes and odors; a rancid fat or oil is also generally unhealthy. If a fat or oil has gone rancid, it's usually because it has been oxidized due to light, heat, or oxygen exposure. What's oxidation? Oxidation occurs when an oxygen molecule fills an opening on a fatty acid. Unsaturated fatty acids are most vulnerable to oxidation, owing to the unsaturated, open double bonds that react with free oxygen molecules. The greater the number of open double bonds, the faster oxidation occurs, because there are simply more openings for the oxygen molecules to target. PUFAs are the most vulnerable, followed faintly by MUFAs [8], while saturated fats [9] are highly resistant.
The general idea is that oxidized dietary fats and oils negatively impacts health in a number of ways. In pigs (which are omnivores, not unlike ourselves), consuming thermally oxidized oils [10] disrupted thyroid hormone status and decreased plasma cholesterol; perhaps the body was upregulating cholesterol clearance due to the sudden appearance of oxidized lipids. In rats, oxidized frying oil was a potent peroxisome proliferator in the liver [11]; peroxisomes are required to process lipids in the liver, so the fact that oxidized fats stimulated their proliferation might mean that processing the unwanted oxidized fat was a first priority for the body. So, no, this isn't direct evidence that they cause us harm, but I find it very interesting that in animal studies the bodies' lipid [12] clearance mechanisms are upregulated whenever oxidized fats come on the scene.
It's also worth noting that rancid oils taste just awful. I think that's by design, don't you? My tastebuds' immediate knee jerk rejection of rancid fats tells me that I probably shouldn't be eating rancid fats. Well, that and the aforementioned circumstantial clinical evidence against their inclusion in our diets. Also, check out the answer to the second question. Too much PUFA in general is a problem, and it might be compounded by oxidizing that PUFA beforehand.
I was wondering how bad is vegetable oil in small dozes? I know it's bad and don't use it for any kind of cooking, but when it's a little soy oil or something like that in canned food like Mackerel with tomato sauce (norwegian product) is it ok to eat it? What about store bought mayonnaise? Ok once in a while?
Short answer: it's real bad. Avoid it always.
Longer answer: Obviously, you want to look for canned seafood in its own oil, water, or maybe packed in olive oil. They exist, but you have to look around. The tomato sauce is actually a good addition, as the lycopene in tomato products has been shown to inhibit LDL oxidation [13] and should inhibit similar oxidative protection in PUFAs. Still, even if the soybean oil is pure and true and all its double bonds remain free and clear of oxygen, the absolute amount of omega-6s needs to be monitored. It's not enough to only focus on avoiding already oxidized PUFA [14]. You have to minimize your overall intake for a couple big reasons.
For one, PUFAs can oxidize in your body. You could eat the finest cold-pressed virgin corn oil (hey, I bet it exists somewhere) and still end up with oxidized LDL, simply because the PUFAs are vulnerable to oxidation in the LDL particle. See, it's not really the LDL itself that gets oxidized; it's the fatty acids that the LDL is transporting that oxidize. And if you eat more PUFAs, your LDL is going to carry more PUFAs, and those PUFAs are going to be potentially vulnerable to oxidation. Confounding factors include the antioxidant content of the LDL (vitamin E, CoQ10 [15], mainly), but those antioxidants are going to have to work harder to protect the LDL particles if they're stuffed with PUFAs derived from your fancy corn [16] oil.
Secondly, the various omega-3 and omega-6 PUFAs "compete" for HUFA (highly unsaturated fatty acid) placement in your tissues. Americans eating standard chow with its 20:1 omega-6:omega-3 ratio will have far more omega-6 in their tissues than omega-3, and, as I've mentioned [17] in previous posts, the body makes inflammatory [18] and anti-inflammatory cytokines by drawing upon the tissue PUFAs. Omega-6s and omega-3s make different cytokines. Too much of the former could mean rampant, exaggerated, and chronic systemic inflammation – think heart disease, sore joints [19], more mental [20] and physical stress [21].
As for the store bought mayo? Definitely avoid it. The stuff is gross and you'll use way too much in one sitting. Make your own! [22] Don't necessarily toss the mackerel this time, though. You should be able to rinse most of the soybean oil off, leaving all that good mackerel fat [23] locked inside. So, yeah, for now – just rinse it off as best you can and keep your eyes peeled for a better brand that uses a better oil.
I've read your blog about oils and saturated fat, but found that Rice Bran Oil was not covered. The RBO manufacturers claim it is one of the healthiest oils to use for a variety of reasons including high smoke point. We are using it in our restaurant for deep-frying. Since we are deep frying, I'd like to use the healthiest possible oil that can be obtained at reasonable cost. What do you think?
You pose an interesting question, Mark. Great name, by the way. I'm a big fan.
Rice bran oil is 39% monounsaturated fat, 35% polyunsaturated fat, and about 20% saturated fat. It has a smoke point of 490 to 500 degrees F, making it a popular up-and-coming fry oil for chefs. It's also fairly rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant called gamma-oryzanol, and several different plant sterols, all of which should offer some protection for the fat against high heat oxidation. That said, it remains fairly high in PUFAs, which are already high in the standard American diet. And unless you plan on switching out the oil every few hours for fresh batches, you're going to use up those antioxidants and sterols incredibly fast, leading to oxidation and rancidity.
Ideally? I'd go with beef tallow [24] for deep frying. High in saturated and monounsaturated fats, a long track record of quality frying, almost impervious to thermal oxidation, tallow is quality stuff. The only problem is one of cost and labor; I doubt you'd be able to find a source for large quantities of ready-to-go rendered tallow for a manageable price. You might be able to make a good deal with a local producer for raw, unprocessed suet since demand is pretty low, but you'd still have to render it yourself on a regular basis. Depending on the size of your operation and the amount of time/labor you can devote to the rendering of animal fat [25], it may or may not be realistic or feasible. Your call.
It looks like rice bran oil might be a decent way to strike a balance between your own personal food ethics and the needs of your business. It's better than corn oil or partially hydrogenated soybean oil – that's for sure. Just keep a small supply of tallow on hand for personal use.
Thanks for the questions, everyone! If you want a followup question – or you just have something you need to get off your chest – answered, leave it in the comment section!

Lou just said Notre Dame was going to win out in the regular season, and said that Michigan's offense was unimpressive last Saturday. He says that WMU almost outgained them in total yards.
so Rutgers
Support MGoBlog: buy stuff at Amazon
Now that his son's not coaching against ND any more, he can go back to his unabashed homerism.
I'm not too surprised.
was insightful and objective, but I will be waiting a while for that. He has to have pictures of somebody at ESPN to keep his job. I can't find anybody (outside of the ND fan base) that likes the guy.
Somewhere a redneck truck is missing its back window.
And its truck nutz.
...and send $5 to Bill Watterson
All I heard was Sufferin Suckotash! Seriously though, If ND cleans their ball handling, this game will be a close one.
This is not news. He openly plays the homer. It's become schtick. Let's just ignore it.
Exactly. It's kind of funny, actually.
but in a pathetic sort of way.
he would have spit on you while saying it.
It's all Notre Dame tongue-in-cheek favoritism at this point. The inside joke that everyone now gets.
Somebody said something mean about Michhh on TV, better head over to MGo and alert the masses.
(Essentially a repeat topic, so I'll repeat my comment)
This is going to happen a lot OMG Shirtless. I hope you are a stubborn fellow.
Listed on the App currently.
It's no worse than you feeling the need to comment every time one of these threads pop up. Thanks though OMG Board Police.
If we're going to have a different thread for every comment made about Michigan by each commentator on each episode of CFB Live. I'll be sure to tell the OP that they're overreacting each and every time.
If you don't like it, don't click on it.
But then who is going to call you an idiot for posting that Lou Holtz, of all people, thinks that Notre Dame is going to beat Michigan for the 100th year in a row?
No amount of stupid analysis from mainstream source surprises me anymore. They don't know what they're talking about, we get it. That's why we're at mgoblog and not ESPN's CFB section.
Here's the one from last year with the ND/UM preview. Too funny
So he spit his way through another ND all the way prediction. How he has stayed on ESPN this long has to be an inspiration to stroke victims across the world.
Does this shock anyone anymore? In Holtz's mind, ND should run the table and with the NC every. Single. Year. Then they proceed to usually lose their big games (UM, USC) and then lose a few more that they should win (Navy, TUlsa, USF).
And if Kelly is going to keep blowing up on the sidelines like that, his players are eventually going to tune him out, and then it's all over.
Permission to give Lou Holtz a cup of warm milk and put him to bed?
..granted, please proceed and don't skimp on the sodium thiopental for the milk.
every time Holtz said something ridiculous re: ND we wouldn't have room for much else on the board.
Mark May stared at him like he was on something (per usual) and Rece Davis pointed out that the offense didn't need to be impressive, because the defense kept scoring and remained on the field.
But, what do you expect from Holtz?
Trolled by the Holtz.
Intentional redundancy?
This guy needs to just retire already.
he did already to the old folks home in Bristol Connecticut. They even gave him a "job" to keep him busy. Thanks ESPN.
Lou Holtz thinks ND would go undefeated in the AFC East.
Says ND will beat Michigan, let him..usually works out well for us!
Denard had 144 yards of total offense and we still scored 34 points, shouldn't Notre Dame be worried?
If ND wins out. I'm still not sure they go to a BCS bowl.
OK, they probably would, but one more loss would knock them out I bet. Their schedule is pretty weak.
Yeah they do. Bowls like selling tickets and tv enjoys high ratings. Plus they'll have beaten Stanford, msu, USC and Michigan.
Same thing every year. They could have beaten us last year and the year before, but didn't. They could beat us this year. We'll see what a night game and a roaring Big House brings. As annoyed as I sometimes get at Desmond, at least he's not a homer like Lou.
soo this is like 4 years in a row that he has picked them to go all the way.
It would definitely be a bad omen for Holtz to pick Michigan on Saturday. Good job Lou!
I feel much better about our chances of beating ND now that he picked them.
This shows all is well in the universe and we can expect more of the same for M-ND: the lower rated team upsetting the overinflated favorite.
The worst part is, eventually he'll be right. I just hope it's not this year.
Did anyone actually watch the game on Saturday? Our offense was barely on the field!
Actually said, if I am correct, that he was NOT impressed with Michigan's win, but was IMPRESSED with Notre Dame's loss.
That is about as awesome a quote as you will here.
Even douchebag Mark May thought it was ridiculous.
"the Tweeter". Mark May looked like he couldn't hold in laughter much longer.
At least he didn't call it the twittirola
Western had 58 offensive plays to Michigan's 39 when he argues that Michigan was unimpressive based on total yardage. Western averaged 4.8 yards a play to Michigan's 7.4 yards a play. Of course he is Lou Holtz so I wouldn't expect him to be make any sense.
Just for comparison if Michigan would of had 58 plays on offense, averaging 7.4 yards a play they would have finished with 430 yards to Western's 279.
Michigan averaged 7.3 yards a carry, had one penalty, no turnovers,and averaged 7.5 yards a pass. That isn't eye-popping, but I don't see how you could argue that they were unimpressive offensively. I guess if Denard doesn't have 300 total yards in the game, that means the offense was unimpressive to somebody like Holtz.
Holtz cracks me up. There are a lot of point-counterpoint type pairings on ESPN that drive me nuts, but I actually like watching him and Mark May. You can tell that they really get along, because he basically called May an idiot the other day and the only one who took offense was Rece Davis. Priceless.

How do stars move in the Galaxy?
How do stars move? I do not mean the daily rising and setting of the stars in the sky, but the movement of stars in the galaxy...if there is any. I would really like to know more about this as I am very curious about it. I am a 19 year old student who is very interested in the study of astronomy. Thank you very much.
Our Galaxy, like all other spiral galaxies is rotating. The stars move on orbits around the centre of the Galaxy. It was the motions of stars in external galaxies that lead to the idea of dark matter in the universe - their motions indicated that there was more mass within their orbit than could be accounted for by visible matter alone. This is also true in our Galaxy.
At the distance of the Sun from the centre of the galaxy (about 8 kpc or 24 thousand light years) we move at an orbital speed of about 220 km/s and take about 230 million years to make one revolution around the centre of the Galaxy.
Stars also have some random motions - they don't orbit the galaxy in exact circles. This random motion usually amount to a few tens of km/s in some direction.
As observers we see this motion of the stars as what's called 'proper motion' - the projection of their velocity onto the plane of the sky, and 'radial motion', which is the projection of their velocity along our line of sight. We can dectect radial motion by looking at the wavelength shifts it creates in the spectrum of the star. Proper motion we detect by plotting the position of the star over time and seeing how it moves relative to more distant "fixed" objects. The star with the largest proper motion is Barnard's star which moves about 10 arcseconds (0.003 degrees) per year. A more typical proper motion is about 0.1 arcseconds a year.

The One Where I Tell You to Buy the New 'Universal Soldier' and Offer Fourteen More Questionable Recommendations
Features By Rob Hunter on January 21, 2013 | Comments (2)Welcome back to This Week In Discs! As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Hard Romanticker The streets of Tokyo are awash in blood and attitude in this tale of warring thugs battling for supremacy and revenge. An old woman is killed during a burglary, and her hoodlum grandson mistakenly believes Gu (Shota Matsuda) was behind the murder. Gu finds himself targeted, but he's far too cool to run and instead finds time to cause some carnage of his own. This is a hard and brutal film that finds both cruelty and black humor in the lives of these punks. No one escapes unscathed, and women fare extremely poorly, but the film makes an effort to take the romance out of these junior yakuza's lifestyles. Artsploitation Films is still a young label, but their third (and best) release continues to get everything right. In addition to the fantastic film they've included a booklet featuring two in depth essays on the film. Also, while this may only matter to nerdy collectors like myself, they're also wisely numbering their releases on the spine a la Criterion and Drafthouse Films. [Extras: Trailer, collector's booklet]
Review: 'Tai Chi Zero' Aims For Stephen Chow Meets Scott Pilgrim, But Intent Is No Guarantee of Success
Fantastic Fest By Rob Hunter on October 20, 2012 | Comments (1)Editor's note: With Tai Chi Zero now officially released in theaters, here is a re-run of our Fantastic Fest review, originally published on September 30, 2012. The martial arts genre has always featured period films fairly prominently, but it seems the Hong Kong and mainland China film industries have made a home there in recent years with no intention of leaving it anytime soon. Truth be told the biggest problem with the pseudo genre is that it's swallowed Donnie Yen whole. He hasn't made a contemporary film since 2007's bone-crackingly brilliant Flash Point! But Yen aside, there are so many of these films that it's getting difficult to tell them apart. Writer Kuo-fu Chen and director Stephen Fung recognized this fact and set out to tell a tale that would stand apart from the herd. The ace up their sleeve is a visual style that brings slow-mo, onscreen graphics and the inclusion of steam-punk elements to their story of a young man who travels to a remote village to learn a very specific and equally powerful form of martial arts. His quest is interrupted by Western-led intruders bent on leveling the town to make way for a railroad. On paper, and in trailer form, Tai Chi Zero seems like a success, but the end result is a mixed bag of frenetic action, humorous asides and a silliness that just won't quit.
Fantastic Fest: Exclusively Gaze Upon 'The Silent Wife' Poster from 'Tai Chi Zero'
Exclusive By Rob Hunter on September 20, 2012 | Be the First To CommentEveryone knows martial arts movies are awesome, but we can also probably agree that the influx of period films have gotten out of hand. The past few years have seen the genre stagnate a bit with every release seemingly featuring ancient warlords scuffling in ancient China. Hell, we lost the great Donnie Yen to period pieces, and he hasn't fought in the present day since 2007's fantastic Flash Point. This trend doesn't appear to be ending anytime soon. But just because period films are the new normal that doesn't meant they all have to be the same. And Tai Chi Zero appears to be just the film to prove it. It's a period piece, but it infuses the world with steam punk and style to create something pretty unique and spectacular-looking. Check out the exclusive poster premiere below along with the latest trailer, and then hightail your ass to Austin for this weekend's screening of Tai Chi Zero at Fantastic Fest.

Set transparent flash player on the page
After much research and experimenting I have finally been able to create a flash web video with a chromakeyed person and a transparent player.
i.e. person in the video cutout and floating on the page.
What I can't figure out is how to Correctly place this transparent flash player on my html web page where I want it.
I can put the code in a specific location on the page and it will operate properly, but the player seems to reside between the text, tables etc., and the background, moving the rest of the page around.
I would like to have the transparent player "float" on the TOP of the page, over all text, background, images, etc.
I have tried adjusting the alignment coding withing the object/embed areas but it does not seem to have any effect as to the videos location.
I have seen it done elsewhere but don't seem to find the answer within any code source.
Ideally if it could remain in one location even when the page is scrolled that would be great but not necessary.
Let me know if I can supply any additional info.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Try posting your HTML code. But, to answer your question you align flash just as you would any other HTML item such as an image. Personally, I use CSS to position my elements on the page. Some people (really evil people ) use HTML tables to position their elements on the page.
Most of my questions/posts are fairly straightforward and simple. I post long verbose messages in an attempt to be thorough.

Got it handled. used a div absolute and the transparent player overlays wherever I want.
However, with that accomplished I would like to duplicate something else I have seen with this same type of video player where it stays in one location regardless of scrolling the page.
I have found a few scripts that do this with images jpg or gif etc. but I can't make it work with my flash video similar to what is at rovion.com
Any ideas? Thanks

Hawi, is known as North Kohala's biggest little town. It is the bicycle turnaround for the annual Ironman World Championship held every October, the best whale watching coastline, delicious eateries, brilliant artits and musicians, organic farming, unique shopping opportunities, wonderful alternative healers including massage therapists, acupuncture, naturopath's, herbalists, yoga therapists and more . This charming historic town is situated on the northern tip of the Big Island rich with rich history and culture.
The Climate is a bit cooler than the hot coastline and we get our share of refreshing, revitalizing wind, which keeps the air some of the cleanest in the world.
A few miles north of Hawi is the fun historic town of Kapaau, home of the original King Kamehameha I Statue. Here you will find Kamehameha Park, which offers free use of great tennis courts, a public swimming pool and wonderful children's playground. There is even a small user-friendly golf course for a nominal fee. Continue driving east on Highway 270 and you'll literally come to the end of the road at the stunning Pololu Valley Overlook where you can enjoy a spectacular view and hike down to the valley. Keokea Beach Park is not to be missed as a wonderful place for picnic.
A few Miles south of Hawi are my favorite swimming and snorkeling spots on the Island. We will have to guide you to get to some of them. Mahukona Beach Park is my favorite place to whale watch and swim. If you want to fish, we can send you in the right direction. There are many historical sites and parks along the coastline to enjoy. Kawaihae is 17 miles away and offers great dinning and music at the Blue Dragon Restaurant, or you can enjoy Café Pesto's cuisine. This is also where one of the islands most used harbor resides and where the old style Canoe teams launch their boats.
We have a great Farmers Market every Saturday under the majestic Banyan Tree. Terrific Art Galleries, excellent restaurants, and endless entertainment await you in the quaint villages of Hawi and Kapaau.

Carr Center > Measurement & Human Rights > Projects > R2development
HIGH-LEVEL EXPERT CONSULTATION Bell Hall-5th Floor Belfer Building Cambridge, MA, USA, I. BACKGROUND The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), in collaboration with the Measurement and Human Rights Program (MHRP) at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government and the Program on Human Rights in Development (HRID) of the Harvard School of Public Health, is organizing a high-level expert meeting on the elaboration of the criteria and corresponding sub-criteria [as well as indicators] with the view to implementing the relevant provisions of the above-mentioned resolutions. The conference will take place on 17-18 December 2009 at the Harvard Kennedy School, Cambridge MA. II. OBJECTIVES The main objective of the high-level expert meeting is to facilitate the elaboration of a list of RTD criteria and corresponding sub-criteria [as well as indicators] in a manner that should meet the following expectations of Member States: The criteria and sub-criteria should address the essential features of the right to development, as defined in the Declaration on the Right to Development, in a comprehensive and coherent way, including priority concerns of the international community beyond those enumerated in Millennium Development Goal 8, and serve the purposes set out in all relevant provisions of Human Rights Council resolution 9/3 (Report of the Working Group on the Right to Development on its tenth session (Geneva, 22-26 June 2009), A/HRC/12/28, para. 45). Any review of the proposed criteria should aim at elaborating a comprehensive and coherent set of right to development standards that could eventually take various forms, including guidelines on the implementation of the right to development, and evolve into a basis for consideration of an international legal standard of a binding nature, through a collaborative process of engagement. (HRC Resolution 9/3, para. 2(d)) Beyond the deliberations of the Working Group and the Human Rights Council, the ultimate beneficiaries of this event include individuals and communities, particularly in the developing countries, who will have a better opportunity to enjoy their right to development as a result of the outcome of the intergovernmental deliberations and decision, which will be informed by the RTD criteria, operational sub-criteria and indicators emanating from the expert meeting. This event will be of immediate benefit to those who deal with development and human rights with the international institutions and the academic community in all regions by providing them with a clearer understanding of what can and cannot be measured regarding the implementation of the RTD and how to develop and apply appropriate tools of measurement. The event will also advance and strengthen the thematic expertise and understanding of the linkage between human rights and measurement, and provide leadership and guidance in the methodology of human rights measurement. III. PARTICIPANTS AND OUTCOMES The expert meeting will draw together members of the Task Force, development economists from international from institutions and universities, and other specialists with expertise in human rights, development and quantitative and qualitative measurement. It will examine the draft version of the RTD criteria, operational sub-criteria and indicators to be presented by two OHCHR consultants and formulate recommendations for their improvement. The specific outcomes of this activity are: the development of the RTD criteria, corresponding sub-criteria and indicators which would meet the expectations of the intergovernmental Working Group and the Human Rights Council as outlined in Council resolutions 4/4, 9/3 and 12/23, and a report on the meeting for consideration by the Task Force at its annual meeting in January 2010.

My name is Nothing,
And I know...
You're in love with her -
Not me.
I'm just your friend.
I am nothing else.
I am...
I am Nothing to you;
I'm a ghost that listens
to your many woes;
I give you space to
take a deep breath in;
I am who you turn to
when you have no one;
I'm always there for you,
but never actually there.
My name is Nothing.
And I know it was absurd
for me to think that
I could be her,
that I could be...
your Something.
